[00:00] <Jordan_U> mrojas6996: WAV is not the same as WMA. Also, that theme is incredibly confusing.
[00:01] <myersg> I got ubuntu to work!
[00:01] <myersg> I changed the kernel version to an older one
[00:05] <Guddu_> Each time when i am connected to a Ubuntu Machine via SSH, that machine cannot be restarted neither someone who is logged in can log out. What could be the issue?
[00:10] <DJHenjin> does anyone here have experience troubleshooting FTP servers on ubuntu 12.04
[00:11] <blackshirt> djhenjin, what the problem was happened? And what ftp server you are using now?
[00:12] <Jordan_U> mrojas6996: CDA "files" aren't real. They're Windows's way of presenting audio CD tracks (which aren't actually "files" as there is no filesystem).
[00:12] <DJHenjin> i cannot connect to the FTP server at all, filezilla is sending user and pass and i get the 220 welcome to vsFTPD server managed by EHCP
[00:12] <Jordan_U> mrojas6996: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Audio_track
[00:13] <blackshirt> what the error said?
[00:13] <DJHenjin> pastie of interaction log in filezilla http://pastebin.com/0rY7FSRE
[00:14] <DJHenjin> ive even tried SFTP with no avail
[00:14] <Jordan_U> mrojas6996: A .WAV file is a file which contains a direct copy of the PCM data from  CD (though .wav files are also used in areas completely unrelated to audio CDs).
[00:14] <blackshirt> wait a minute
[00:16] <ring2> DJHenjin, have you checked the response? libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
[00:16] <DJHenjin> i have checked it but thats where im stumped
[00:18] <DJHenjin> i dont know what that means exactly
[00:18] <ring2> DJHenjin, i'd check in which package libgcc_s.so.1 is. then make sure, the package is installed. f.e. apt-file search libgcc_s.so.1
[00:20] <DJHenjin> i did the apt-file search but i dont get any results wth
[00:21] <ring2> DJHenjin, then you mistyped something
[00:21] <DJHenjin> okay yeah now ive got a bunch of results
[00:22] <DJHenjin> all the packages it listed have a local path to libgcc_s.so.1
[00:23] <stillandstorm> hi
[00:23] <ring2> DJHenjin, the output shows, which package would have the file you searched for in which place. all of the packages are not installed
[00:24] <DJHenjin> well theres a whole bunch of packages listed, how the heck do i choose which one to use
[00:24] <jen__> tricks on getting photoshop onto linux? Because ya know, linux should be so awesome there MUST be a way to do it
[00:25] <ring2> jen__, check out gimp
[00:26] <HoNgOuRu> can I code directly in the terminal ? example  "for var in 1 2 3 4 5 .. N do echo "hello world!" done ?
[00:26] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: yup
[00:26] <HoNgOuRu> how
[00:26] <HoNgOuRu> jrib,

[00:26] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: for var in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo "hello world!"; done
[00:26] <HoNgOuRu> copy that
[00:27] <jrib> HoNgOuRu: if you need more help with the syntax, see ubottu's links as well as #bash and their topic there
[00:27] <HoNgOuRu> jrib,  yeah !!!
[00:27] <jrib> !cli > HoNgOuRu
[00:27] <jen__> ring2, no I can't stand gimp. I need PS
[00:27] <HoNgOuRu> thank you
[00:27] <DJHenjin> libgcc1 which has libgcc_s.so.1 is already installed and up to date
[00:29] <ring2> DJHenjin, maybe not only the client but also the server needs that package installed.
[00:29] <DJHenjin> this is on the server
[00:30] <DJHenjin> i havent had any issues with the client before so i am trying to figure out why its not working on the server end
[00:31] <adric> anyone willing to help me figure out how to compile/install the Terminus font for Xubuntu?
[00:31] <mrojas6996> but I say the truth!
[00:31] <mrojas6996> my CD is original, have music original in CDA format
[00:32] <jrib> adric: terminus is packaged in the repositories.  Use your favorite package manager
[00:32] <adric> didn't know that. thanks.
[00:33] <DJHenjin> im 99.999% positive its a server side issue
[00:33] <ring2> DJHenjin, sorry, i have no clue then. have you tried googling the error message?
[00:33] <mrojas6996> and my Lubuntu read the CDA files from my CD like WAV
[00:33] <ring2> jen__, you could try to make it work with wine
[00:33] <DJHenjin> i have tried googling about a millioin things
[00:35] <DJHenjin> software firewall isnt blocking, i cant even use FTP with a net2ftp install on the server itself
[00:36] <HaltingState> I just restarted and now my desktop icons are huge; wtf
[00:36] <HaltingState> they are like 2" wide
[00:36] <HaltingState> how do i fix the size of my desktop icons; wtf
[00:36] <blackshirt> i'm back
[00:37] <ring2> DJHenjin, sounds like something is borked
[00:37] <DJHenjin> i need this FTP issue resolved because i am in the process of transferring servers and i need to be able to finish
[00:37] <DJHenjin> is there a vsFTPD IRC channel
[00:37] <blackshirt> djhenjin, are working on server now?
[00:38] <DJHenjin> blackshirt could you please rephrase
[00:38] <blackshirt> djhenjin,have you try to connect with other client?
[00:38] <RMB2> ftp blows
[00:38] <Ben64> DJHenjin: you can't use rsync or something similar?
[00:38] <blackshirt> djhenjin, sorry,are you working on server now?
[00:39] <RMB2> what the crap are you using it for
[00:39] <DJHenjin> i am logged into shell on the new server right this second
[00:40] <DJHenjin> RMB2 its a web hosting server, FTP is neccesary for clients to upload their sites
[00:40] <RMB2> let me guess telnet?
[00:40] <DJHenjin> SSH
[00:40] <DJHenjin> using protocol 2
[00:41] <RMB2> ok then use sftp
[00:41] <RMB2> ftp is from the 60's
[00:42] <DJHenjin> i cannot connect using SFTP either
[00:42] <Ben64> if you can ssh you can sftp
[00:42] <DJHenjin> ben64 I CANNOT connect using SFTP either
[00:42] <Ben64> yes, capital letters make it better
[00:42] <RMB2> hes right, never mind

[00:45] <SolarisBoy> oh heh

[00:47] <SolarisBoy> .
[00:49] <sacrebleu> is there a less restrictive form of rbash or an alternative?
[00:49] <babe1993> ciao a tutti!|!
[00:49] <sacrebleu> I want the user to be able to create directories within their home dir
[00:49] <user_> ok
[00:49] <babe1993> !list
[00:49] <sacrebleu> was that directed at me?
[00:50] <user_> yes
[00:50] <user_> this shit sucks
[00:51] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: is the user specifically using rbash or bash -r?
[00:52] <sacrebleu> SolarisBoy: they are the same?  user is using rbash
[00:52] <IdleOne> user_: Please watch the language and to avoid unwanted high lights you might want to change your nick to some word that is less commonly used.
[00:52] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: possibly updating his shell to simply bash will work?
[00:52] <SolarisBoy> chsh -s /bin/bash (as user)
[00:52] <sacrebleu> SolarisBoy: but I'm afraid he'll traverse the directories and delete things
[00:52] <sacrebleu> what is chsh -s etc
[00:53] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: traverse what directories? things above his $HOME? or below?
[00:53] <sacrebleu> above $HOME
[00:53] <sacrebleu> i think some of the web stuff is world readable
[00:53] <sacrebleu>  and writeable
[00:53] <SolarisBoy> you can chroot
[00:54] <sacrebleu>  chroot?
[00:54] <SolarisBoy> yes - its like a sandbox in which the user only has access to that location
[00:54] <sacrebleu> is this used in place of rbash?
[00:54] <SolarisBoy> so then he thinks / is $HOME or wheverever you chroot him too
[00:55] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: afaik no - possibly wouldn't need it in that case
[00:55] <sacrebleu> i'm cornfused by chroots --help
[00:56] <sacrebleu> it says On most systems, chroot contexts do not stack properly and chrooted programs with sufficient privileges may perform a second chroot to break out
[00:56] <SolarisBoy> are you users that complex?
[00:56] <SolarisBoy> dought it
[00:56] <sacrebleu> no but he's so uncomplicated he might experiment
[00:57] <SolarisBoy> well honestly - he needs to have a talk with the sec dev or something
[00:57] <sacrebleu> how exactly would you use chroot to do this for a user?
[00:57] <SolarisBoy> how does he access the system?
[00:57] <sacrebleu> ssh
[00:59] <phunyguy__> can anyone tell me if/when samsung galaxy S3 phone will be supported under Ubuntu?
[00:59] <SolarisBoy> looking for a how to
[01:01] <Domincii> Hi all
[01:01] <Domincii> having some problems with Steam on Wine
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: you can read over this for guidance - it seems a little outdated - i believe the jailkit thing works
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> they also mention why not to use rbash
[01:02] <SolarisBoy> brb
[01:03] <SolarisBoy> you can manually do it but its likely better to use some automation tool to do the steps properly
[01:03] <Shazer[2]> Hello.
[01:03] <Shazer[2]> I'm trying to install Chrome, I downloaded the 64bit .deb,  but I'm not sure what to do next.
[01:03] <ampd> Domincii: try PlayOnLinux?
[01:04] <SolarisBoy> Shazer[2]: sudo dpkg -i <filename>
[01:04] <furry> Shazer[2], sudo dpkg -i deb.file.here.deb
[01:04] <SolarisBoy> yep - assuming its in your current directory else use full path - or cd to the location first
[01:05] <RedFaun> anyone know how to boot a system *without* mounting a root fs?
[01:06] <Shazer[2]> Thanks furry and SolarisBoy
[01:06] <phunyguy__> RedFaun, use a LiveCD?
[01:07] <blackshirt> redfaun, what you mean?
[01:08] <RedFaun> phunyguy, I need to run a command on a non mounted *root* fs  (as in btrfstune)
[01:09] <phunyguy__> RedFaun, I dont follow, why cant you use a LiveCD?
[01:09] <blackshirt> chroot it
[01:09] <SolarisBoy> RedFaun: you can use a live cd and chroot into the root
[01:09]  * SolarisBoy how redundant was that =(
[01:10] <RedFaun> I need to run the command on the / partition and the boot into it
[01:10] <SolarisBoy> RedFaun: so when you have the live CD loaded on the box with root FS in question there, try a sudo fdisk -l and you should also see the hard drives, and you should be able to mount it - and from there you can chroot into it - (as it's a root fs) and you can run commands that will affect that root
[01:10] <RedFaun> I need to run the command on the / partition and then* boot into it
[01:10] <SolarisBoy> RedFaun: ^^
[01:11] <RedFaun> SolarisBoy, Reading you comments   thanks
[01:11] <SolarisBoy> RedFaun: you will need to mount a couple of extra devices in the chroot for everything to work but it should be well documented on the web AFAIK it needs a dev device which you can mount --bind in the chroot location to make it work
[01:11] <SolarisBoy> sure
[01:11] <blackshirt> redfaun, exactly i'm confused what do you need... Some advices have been given
[01:12] <battlefield> hello
[01:12] <blackshirt> hello battlefield
[01:12] <battlefield> my pc
[01:12] <battlefield> a HP G42-270la
[01:12] <battlefield> have a problem
[01:13] <battlefield> whit the wifi
[01:13] <battlefield> blackshirt
[01:13] <tomtomtom> why update manager always slow and staying at 5k ?
[01:13] <SolarisBoy> tomtomtom: do you have network issues?
[01:13] <tomtomtom> i'm able to watch video smooth but not able to update
[01:14] <SolarisBoy> tomtomtom: are you killing bandwidth? what type of connection are you on?
[01:14] <blackshirt> battlefield, what the wifi chips on your laptop?
[01:14] <SolarisBoy> two bandwidth intensive things _may_ fight in the right situations..
[01:14] <tomtomtom> 1m
[01:14] <battlefield> i use ubuntu, my pc is disconnecting to internet very times, the router is good and perfect, the pc dont conect to i off my pc
[01:15] <tomtomtom> what i meant was the connection allow me to watch movie but
[01:15] <battlefield> i hace a hp g42-270la
[01:15] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: are you sure it's not your Internet Service Provider?
[01:15] <leaftwig> How do I generate & compile ASM code?
[01:15] <RedFaun> seems the solution is for me to rebuild my initrd with the command included!
[01:15] <tomtomtom> it won't update even if nothing else is using the internet
[01:16] <RedFaun> thanks anyway peeps
[01:16] <battlefield> yes guy, because, there is other pc and dont have the problem
[01:16] <dominic_> msg mmnicolas hey
[01:16] <SolarisBoy> leaftwig: generate with a text editor you can run with nasm i believe
[01:17] <OerHeks> tomtomtom, find your fastest mirror > http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line
[01:17] <SolarisBoy> tomtomtom: do you see any error or just a rate of 5k steady?
[01:17] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: how do you define the drop? what are the symptoms?
[01:17] <denebeim> Has anyone had any luck ripping the avengers dvd that came out yesterday?  vlc is barfing on it, xbmc is really jerky for me.
[01:17] <SolarisBoy> have you tested dns/ip during those times battlefield ?
[01:18] <battlefield> solaris boy
[01:18] <tomtomtom> I wont dare to go change other source that would take foreveer just to download the list
[01:18] <battlefield> nope
[01:18] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: you should check that - to ensure - and also ensure if the issue is local or externally
[01:18] <battlefield> for example, i am in facebook, suddendly dont charge the page
[01:19] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: also check your logs (dmesg, messages) and check your ifconfig counters for errors
[01:19] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: i've seen that happen..
[01:19] <SolarisBoy> with the internet working
[01:19] <denebeim> as far as that goes is there a better channel anyone can suggest for this question?
[01:19] <battlefield> and say who there is internet
[01:19] <battlefield> and i try re conect but i dont cant
[01:20] <SolarisBoy> you need to check your logs and things i asked =)
[01:20] <SolarisBoy> if there is an issue reconnecting over and over wont fix it
[01:20] <battlefield> SolarisBoy: i dont know how do this
[01:20] <the-erm> I'm running htop and I have a command "(unlinkd)" running what is it?
[01:20] <sacrebleu> SolarisBoy what jailkit

[01:21] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: use grep to check logs for a string - like "network" or "eth" etc etc.. and for the other stuff you can just use ifconfig -a | you will see counter sections - and in turn you will see error sections -
[01:21] <battlefield> SolarisBoy:  you speack spanish?
[01:21] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: what is jailkit? an automation tool for chrooting user
[01:22] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: no
[01:22] <sacrebleu> how cna i determine if ISPConfig is installed
[01:23] <SolarisBoy> sacrebleu: dpkg -l '*ispconfig*'
[01:23] <SolarisBoy> if thats is indeed what you looking for
[01:23] <SolarisBoy> you will see installed packages begin with "ii"
[01:23] <battlefield> SolarisBoy: i use terminal
[01:23] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: nice me too
 i must use terminal for this?
[01:24] <Guddu_> Each time when i am connected to a Ubuntu Machine via SSH, that machine cannot be restarted neither someone who is logged in can log out. What could be the issue?
[01:24] <Guddu_> Please guide
[01:24] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: no indeed not - but it would be faster for me atleast... - you can use the gui version of text editors and viewers
[01:24] <liznevada> sigh? why do you make me log into ubuntu domain? uh battlefield
[01:25] <SolarisBoy> and you can if you do use network-manager use the little network-manager widget thingy in the top tool box - if i recall correctly it shows ifconfig -a graphically
[01:26] <battlefield> lol
[01:26] <liznevada> anyway, the princess is on another channel
[01:26] <frey> I'm very interested to know if any of you know how to make your currently installed Ubuntu copied/converted to be bootable from a USB key, do you know how to do that?
[01:26] <battlefield> i am a few noob on linux
[01:26] <SolarisBoy> thats ok
[01:26] <SolarisBoy> you can do either way thats comfy for you - thats whats cool about linux
[01:26] <liznevada> just go to #ubuntu-es
[01:26] <battlefield> network-manager is a program?
[01:27] <jrr> I know this will be unpopular, but how can I disable unity's menubars?
[01:27] <jrr> I've successfully moved menubars to each application window like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-disable-the-global-application-menu
[01:27] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: correct - it manages network connections and such - i believe ubuntu defalts to using it still so if you didn't turn it off - it's probably running
[01:27] <jrr> I want the now-useless gray bar at the top to go away
[01:27] <SolarisBoy> the little icon on the top that changes with your connection is what you would wnt to click (if this applies to you)

[01:28] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: just do ifconfig -a the errors aren't shown there now that i actually checked
[01:28] <battlefield> network-manager-gnome?
[01:28] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: open a terminal and type ifconfig -a thats it and .. you will want to look at it a few times, specifically for error counts rising
[01:29] <SolarisBoy> if not - thats probably a non issue - then you can check elsewher
[01:29] <ldlework> Hi. I'm using Ubuntu and I used to have networking over ethernet, and actually it somehow worked today, but here at home it does not work. When I plug the ethernet in, I get no IP assigned, route -n shows no routes, I can't restart networking, sudo dhclient just returns silently, pinging anything just returns network unreachable. Wireless works fine but I don't have a wireless router at home. :(
[01:30] <battlefield> solaris
[01:30] <battlefield> no error
[01:30] <SolarisBoy> yes?
[01:30] <battlefield> yes guy
[01:30] <ldlework> Any *guesses* at my problem would be highly appreciated.
[01:30] <battlefield> ¿use metwork-manager?=
[01:30] <liznevada> lets check if Solaris patience is enough to not become angry with battlefield questions
[01:30] <SolarisBoy> ldlework: do you have a layer 2 link on the wired interface?
[01:30]  * liznevada runs
[01:31] <ldlework> SolarisBoy, how do I check that?
[01:31] <SolarisBoy> with mii-tool or ethool - miitool is deprecated but probably installed so you can use that
[01:31] <SolarisBoy> it will give a non OK message on bad links or weird ones, like wireless
[01:31] <ldlework> SolarisBoy, yes, miitool reports a link
[01:31] <SolarisBoy> ok cool that was my 2 cents
[01:31] <ldlework> fuh.
[01:31] <SolarisBoy> lols
[01:32] <battlefield> lol
[01:32] <SolarisBoy> ldlework: do you have a better description of your network? and then i've seen weird boxes where wifi and ethernet dont work at the same time
[01:32] <ldlework> SolarisBoy, I'm plugged right into the cable modem
[01:32] <ldlework> In order to test, I'm going to have to disconnect from here, etc
[01:33] <SolarisBoy> ldlework: so wait.
[01:33] <SolarisBoy> ldlework: right now your plugged into the modem and online?
[01:33] <ldlework> On a Windows machine, correct.
[01:33] <SolarisBoy> oh - and did it ever work on ubuntu?
[01:34] <ldlework> Not at this location, but my ethernet has been foobar for a while. Like I said, it magically and inexplicably worked today at work.
[01:34] <SolarisBoy> you may need to reboot your modem - some of them dont like new macs
[01:34] <SolarisBoy> yea try to do that..
[01:34] <ldlework> hmm
[01:34] <SolarisBoy> reboot the cable modem before unplugging and plugging something new in
[01:34] <ldlework> alright then.
[01:34]  * ldlework will be back. 
[01:34] <ldlework> :D
[01:34] <SolarisBoy> okies
[01:34]  * SolarisBoy lets see how patient he is if this doesn't work
[01:34] <SolarisBoy> brb going to smoke
[01:35] <battlefield> solaris
[01:35] <SolarisBoy> yes?
[01:35] <battlefield> i came back
[01:35] <battlefield> XD
[01:35] <SolarisBoy> yaay
[01:35] <battlefield> ¿what do whit my problem? ¿you know?
[01:35] <liznevada> ok, since im here monitoring battlefield activity, i want to ask something, theres any version of ubuntu with the regular Gnome3 Shell DE ?
[01:36] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: have you checked the logs yet?
[01:36] <battlefield> nope
[01:36] <battlefield> ¿how?
[01:36] <SolarisBoy> have you checked the ip configs on each system on your network? primarily a working and non working? have you rebooted the router?
[01:36] <SolarisBoy> i said how already
[01:36] <SolarisBoy> ill be back
[01:36] <SolarisBoy> scroll up
[01:37] <battlefield> rebooted my router , yes
[01:37] <battlefield> liznevada is my friend, she knows me
[01:37] <SolarisBoy> nice
[01:37] <liznevada> i aint your friend.
[01:38] <battlefield> Elizabeth please
[01:38] <battlefield> por favor pony
[01:38] <battlefield> ¿porqué dice que no es mi amiga?
[01:38] <liznevada> shhh keep the language
[01:38]  * SolarisBoy lost
[01:39] <iFlip> Has anyone heard of FDC Servers? I saw an IP address related to them listed in my NETSTAT --TCP output
[01:39] <battlefield> ok, i still speaking english
[01:39] <iFlip> They had an ESTABLISHED connection on port 443
[01:39] <battlefield> SolarisBoy
[01:39] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: do you run https?
[01:39] <SolarisBoy> client connections can show in netstat as well is why i ask
[01:40] <battlefield> solaris
[01:40] <SolarisBoy> yes battlefield ?
[01:40] <iFlip> no, only internally on SABNZBD on port and SickBeard
[01:40] <battlefield> ¿intall network.manager?
[01:40] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: is the port 443 on the left or right hand side
[01:40] <iFlip> I have port forwarding blocked to those two applications
[01:40] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: no
[01:40] <iFlip> right side
[01:40] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: that means your connecting to that web page from somewhere AFAIK
[01:41] <battlefield> fucking pc
[01:41] <trippy_1> Meh my internet is flakey.
[01:41] <trippy_1> Hello, I am having an issue with the text being distorted with Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Optiplex GX240 and GX540. I've updated all the drivers, but the graphics and text still appear to look fuzzy to a point where you cannot read it. I've looked in the forums and I have seen people have experienced similar issues, but I cannot find a solution. Has anyone experienced this issue or can lend some
[01:41] <trippy_1> assistance?
[01:41] <SolarisBoy> x.x.x.x:port x.x.x.x:port (left is you)
[01:41] <IdleOne> !language | battlefield
[01:41] <iFlip> Does Ubuntu use "FDC Servers" to manage repositories?
[01:41] <iFlip> possibly? maybe thats why it's on port 443
[01:42] <battlefield> excuseme
[01:42] <ldlework> SolarisBoy, I installed network-config, it showed eth0 as inactive, I turned it on and hit test.
[01:42] <ldlework> Here I am.
[01:42] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: sorry i probably said that messed up - if it's the right most socket (ip/port) then it's you connecting to someone
[01:42]  * ldlework shrugs.
[01:42] <battlefield> solaris
[01:42] <ldlework> lol
[01:42] <battlefield> if i dont have errors in ifconfig
[01:42] <battlefield> ¿why have a problem?
[01:42] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: check the other things please that was one thing -
[01:42] <iFlip> So if it's 10.10.xx.xx  50.7.13.146 HTTPS then I was trying to connect to them
[01:42] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: because thats looking at one type of errors on the line not really anything else
[01:43] <ajeno> Hi
[01:43] <SolarisBoy> so if you dont have line errors you dont have line errors - look at other things - like dns, bad ISP , etc
[01:43] <Guddu_> Please help
[01:43] <Guddu_> Each time when i am connected to a Ubuntu Machine via SSH, that machine cannot be restarted neither someone who is logged in can log out. What could be the issue?
[01:43] <Guddu_> Please guide
[01:43] <battlefield> ¿yuo have the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? SolarisBoy
[01:43] <iFlip> SolarisBoy: Well if I did netstat --tcp --numeric it would show --  10.10..xx.xx:60137   50.3.17.146:443
[01:44] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: no.
[01:44] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: the entry is like so [tcp        0      0 10.0.1.130:46372        74.125.142.125:5222     ESTABLISHED 1000       1005860     2543/chromium-browser] for example -
[01:44] <liznevada> mhh, battlefield niether ¡ nor ¿ exist on english
[01:44] <bazhang> !behelpful | liznevada
[01:45] <SolarisBoy> it means you are connecting to them, your ephermeral port 46372 to their port 5222 in my case
[01:45] <WeThePeople> so if i delete WinXP from my (dual boot with ubuntu) comp. will that mess up the boot sequence or the MBR or GRUB ??
[01:45] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: i like -pone --tcp this way you see what process is holding the socket and it makes more sense
[01:45] <battlefield> i believe who yes
[01:46] <battlefield> solaris ¿what is your ubuntu version?
[01:46] <SolarisBoy> latest LTS
[01:46] <trippy_1> So any of you have experienced issues with installing Ubuntu on the Optiplex GX540 or GX220?
[01:46] <liznevada> bazhang but, but, its true!
[01:46] <iFlip> SolarisBoy: mine shows this (tcp        0      1 10.10.10.100:33139      50.7.13.146:443         SYN_SENT)  It shows SYN_SENT cause I set my router to reject the packets so now it wont synch
[01:46] <bazhang> liznevada, its not helpful, so stop it
[01:46] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: makes sense
[01:47] <SolarisBoy> are you sure you want to do that?
[01:47] <battlefield> ooooooo, liznevada
[01:47] <liznevada> ok, ok, my lips are sealed
[01:47] <iFlip> So that means I am sending requests to 50.7.13.146??
[01:47] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: correcto
[01:48] <iFlip> SolarisBoy: that makes sense now, I've been freaking out watching WireShark like a hawk LOL - it's the simple things in life
[01:48] <SolarisBoy> lols i know you had fun =)
[01:49] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: i learned a lot watching tcpdump over the years
[01:49] <SolarisBoy> ill tell you - hard learning but pays off
[01:49] <iFlip> SolarisBoy: it's like forgetting a semicolon on C
[01:49] <SolarisBoy> hahaha
[01:49] <SolarisBoy> or a silly tab on python?
[01:49] <iFlip> exactly
[01:49] <battlefield> solaris
[01:50] <battlefield> i have installed network-manager
[01:50] <SolarisBoy> lols i think i end up there like once a week - doing some deep investigation and some dude walks over like - oh heres the answer.. and just invalidates my day
[01:50]  * SolarisBoy sigh
[01:50] <battlefield> i don knew
[01:50] <battlefield> XD
[01:50] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: why did you do that? i recall saying no
[01:50] <battlefield> ooohh, ok, excuseme guy
[01:50] <iFlip> SolarisBoy - you like Network Manager?
[01:50] <SolarisBoy> network manager isn't what you need you need to investigate the issue - have you checked the log with grep or gedit or whatever comforts you?
[01:51] <iFlip> no
[01:51] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: not really but i leave it on because other things break if not - like ubuntu one
[01:51] <iFlip> ahhh. I'm running such a lighweight version of Ubuntu I don't utilize most things like that
[01:52] <iFlip> I installed Lucid LAMP
[01:52] <SolarisBoy> yea im fooling myself - paying for music sync but my music is on a iscsi drive - so that means ubuntu one wont sync it (smdh)
[01:52] <battlefield> someone can help me? i am a noob in linux
[01:52] <Hatori> iflip, okey what the problems?
[01:52] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: i may just do arch again
[01:53] <iFlip> Hatori - SolarisBoy pointed out my flaws.. :)
[01:53] <SolarisBoy> 12.04 has indeed introduced weirdness - but well see
[01:53] <iFlip> Hatori: all better now
[01:53]  * SolarisBoy really going to smoke now

[01:59] <battlefield> this is my problem guys
[02:00] <coreyman> I have windows7 install disk and I want to create a windows 7 boot partition from ubuntu how can I do that?

[02:08] <trippy_1> Hello can anyone help me with a graphics problem I am having with Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Optiplex GX540? The text is very distorted and cuzzy. I've updated all the drivers, but this does not slove the issue.
[02:08] <SolarisBoy> it seems to be related to hw encryption - what type of encryption (if any) are you using on the wireless net?
[02:09] <battlefield> SolarisBoy:
[02:09] <battlefield> Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller
[02:09] <xubuntu> quit
[02:09] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: uhh
[02:10] <battlefield> SolarisBoy: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller
[02:10] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: post the entire output to pastie at this URL please http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[02:10] <SolarisBoy> oh ok thank you
[02:11] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: is it true that you are using a windows driver?
[02:12] <very> yesterday i cleared up my desk. and today ubuntu fails to detect my monitor. could this be related?
[02:12] <battlefield> look
[02:12] <battlefield> i downloaded
[02:12] <battlefield> the windows driver
[02:12] <SolarisBoy> maybe its disconnected or ajar?
[02:12] <SolarisBoy> @very
[02:13] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: everyone else appears to be using a kernel built in module rt2800pci
[02:13] <battlefield> but the driver dont serves whit wine
[02:13] <battlefield> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1229650/
[02:13] <SolarisBoy> rtl8192se this is the driver your usin
[02:14] <battlefield> ¿the driver is impaired?
[02:15] <pzn> any ubuntu hardware compatibility information for this notebook? http://us.getac.com/products/notebook/s400/features
[02:15] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1980049
[02:15] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2003972
[02:15] <very> SolarisBoy, hmm.. the monitor works actually. but in the monitor preferences it's displayed as "Unknown" so i cannot select the higher resolutions.
[02:16] <SolarisBoy> very: strange - how is it connected? hdmi?
[02:16] <iFlip> pzn: that's a garbage tough book. we use those at our organization and they are 50/50 on performance
[02:16] <battlefield> lol
[02:16] <battlefield> no

[02:16] <Shazer[2]> hey guys
[02:16] <Shazer[2]> I'm trying to use the ftp command in terminal
[02:16] <Shazer[2]> so I downloaded the file I need to put to my webhost
[02:17] <Shazer[2]> How do I locate it?
[02:17] <Shazer[2]> put <file>
[02:17] <Shazer[2]> is what I'm trying to do
[02:17] <pzn> iFlip, you mean that is not worth the price? what are 50/50? I'm not a native english speaker
[02:17] <FloodBot1> Shazer[2]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:17] <SolarisBoy> Shazer[2]: its where you started the ftp command at
[02:17] <jono> hey folks
[02:17] <SolarisBoy> Shazer[2]: you can also do !ls to confirm AFAIK
[02:17] <Shazer[2]> SolarisBoy, thank you! :D
[02:17] <SolarisBoy> Shazer[2]: yw
[02:17] <jono> did you all see the 24-hour marathon the Canonical community team is doing?
[02:17] <iFlip> pzn: they are not worth the price or effort of using. 50/50 means they work only half the time.
[02:17] <battlefield> SolarisBoy, for what are this pages?
[02:17] <SolarisBoy> like my eyes
[02:17] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: reading on the problem
[02:18] <very> SolarisBoy, vga. but until yesterday it worked. it displayed the correct monitor name and resolutions.
[02:18] <jono> http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/09/26/get-ready-for-the-24-hour-horsemen-marathon/
[02:18] <pzn> iFlip, weird... some notebook that only work half the time!!! half of the time it does not turn on???
[02:18] <SolarisBoy> very have you done any upgrades?
[02:19] <battlefield> SolarisBoy,  i do wha say this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2003972?
[02:19] <winstonebook> hello
[02:19] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: read it please
[02:19] <very> SolarisBoy, there are automatic upgrades everyday. i'm not sure which were yesterday.
[02:19] <battlefield> ok
[02:19] <battlefield> i will this
[02:19] <winstonebook> does anybody know minecraft here
[02:19] <winstonebook> i guess you should
[02:19] <very> SolarisBoy, software upgrades.
[02:19] <iFlip> pzn: They turn on just fine, but they are constantly havig issues with wireless fidelity. They become slow and seem to not process with the same power and quickness within months of using.
[02:19] <battlefield> becase is 9 pm in colombia XD
[02:19] <SolarisBoy> very: i see - what graphics driver did you do?
[02:20] <SolarisBoy> grr *use
[02:20] <winstonebook> so
[02:20] <winstonebook> well
[02:20] <iFlip> pzn: we use ours with SmartCard authentication over WiFi and it just never seems to be seamless.
[02:20] <pzn> iFlip, ok, got it. do you recommend some notebook for daily use at direct sunlight in places around 40~50celcius?
[02:20] <winstonebook> ?
[02:22] <iFlip> pzn: I would recommend looking into GD-Itronix
[02:22] <winstonebook> mInecraft
[02:22] <winstonebook> anybody
[02:22] <NChief> so now I finally got dts/dd passtrough in xbmc with my usb sound card(spdif).. but now all other audo comes through my defualt speakers.. how do I change default soundcard? :P
[02:22] <very> SolarisBoy, i'm not sure. and i'm not sure where to look for it. i'm using an integrated intel controller.
[02:22] <winstonebook> who you talking to
[02:22] <SolarisBoy> very ahh so no special drivers then
[02:23] <iFlip> pazn: They offer the best GPS, Outdoor Display, and wireless controllers. Great design too.
[02:23] <iFlip> pzn: They offer the best GPS, Outdoor Display, and wireless controllers. Great design too.
[02:23] <winstonebook> GUYSS!!!!!
[02:23] <battlefield> SolarisBoy,  look
[02:23] <somsip> !ask | winstonebook
[02:23] <very> SolarisBoy, i'm not sure if i made changes to xorg.conf when i started to use the monitor months ago. maybe it got overwritten somehow if i did.
[02:24] <SolarisBoy> very: very possible
[02:24] <pzn> iFlip, thanks for your recommendation. I'll google for it
[02:25] <iFlip> pzn: your welcome
[02:25] <SolarisBoy> very: that is sounding more like it - if you had something custom and your update wiped it - then it makes sense that xorg set your monitor up with some defaults non optimal size/res settings
[02:25] <SolarisBoy> very: possibly ubuntu made a backup when that occured?
[02:25] <battlefield> SolarisBoy,
[02:25] <battlefield> i will go to study
[02:26] <SolarisBoy> okies battlefield have a good one sir
[02:26] <justus> good morning
[02:26] <perr> I WAS A BANKER
[02:26] <battlefield> i do who say on une of yuor pages
[02:26] <perr> FAMILY MAN
[02:26] <FloodBot1> perr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:26] <battlefield> and i will wait
[02:26] <battlefield> if the pc will disconnect
[02:26] <battlefield> ¿ok?
[02:26] <winstonebook> does anybody know minecraft
[02:27] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: dont just do the stuff - look into whats being said - they are saying either they had to upgrade the driver or add a setting in the driver configuration to get it working
[02:27] <justus> got a little problem here: Server using Ubuntu 12.04, I don't know a valid username yet I have physical access to it, I would deeply regret calling up the guy who HAS the user account, i got a ssh key valid for a root login, but I don't know the ip adress
[02:27] <zordon> hi mather
[02:27] <zordon> !
[02:27] <SolarisBoy> one guy says that he updated the driver in windows - and rebooted into ubuntu - and it worked again
[02:27] <SolarisBoy> excuse me he updated the card firmware..
[02:27] <zordon> haaa claro
[02:27] <winstonebook> well well that was good solarisboy
[02:27] <justus> and for some reason it is not reachable on the IP Adress where it SHOULD be reachable
[02:27] <justus> anyone has any suggestions on how to find out the ip adress or gain access to the server in any way?
[02:28] <iFlip> Are you physically on the network of the server
[02:28] <perr> AM I A MAD MAN
[02:28] <perr> TO FOLLOW THE SUN
[02:28] <winstonebook> I still use Ubuntu 10.04
[02:28] <FloodBot1> perr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:28] <iFlip> justus: Are you physically on the network of the server
[02:28] <justus> iFlip: I think so, the setup is a bit weird, I'm connected to a WLan that is connected to the switch
[02:29] <winstonebook> solarisboy
[02:29] <SolarisBoy> yes?
[02:29] <iFlip> justus: didn't mean to flood you - didn't know if you saw my intention of directing to you
[02:29] <zordon> que pasa con el que esta solo??
[02:29] <justus> iFlip: I did, I have highlighting setup correctly ;)
[02:29] <zordon> jajja
[02:29] <zordon> que te escuchas el indio vieja?
[02:29] <justus> iFlip: give me a minute, I'll hook up this laptop to the network via cable
[02:30] <twitchie> !botsnack
[02:30] <SolarisBoy> lol
[02:30] <iFlip> justus: so you're on the same LAN as the server you want to SSH into - you are connected to the LNA via WiFi
[02:30] <winstonebook> just
[02:30] <winstonebook> bye
[02:30] <fuzzylumpkinz> my brain hurts
[02:30] <winstonebook> well mine too
[02:30] <SolarisBoy> good night/morning
[02:30] <winstonebook> hehe
[02:30] <winstonebook> its night here
[02:30] <justus> iFlip: Strike that, I am now physically connected via ethernet cable to the network
[02:30] <fuzzylumpkinz> what is the difference between playonlinux and wine?
[02:31] <winstonebook> ?
[02:31] <designbybeck> So I know it is normally advised for newbies and most peoples workflow to NOT upgrade and to stay on an LTS.... but how much of that is "guidelines" anyway?
[02:31] <SolarisBoy> the icon?
[02:31] <fuzzylumpkinz> I just want PS...i mean really x-x
[02:31] <winstonebook> I like wine but let me find out what is playonlinux
[02:31] <winstonebook> i see now what you mean
[02:31] <winstonebook> playonlinux
[02:31] <iFlip> justus: have you tried arp -a
[02:32] <SolarisBoy> -an would actually show the IP's also so u dont have to go resolve the name  again =)
[02:32] <justus> iFlip: I see the router and a "noname" but I can't ping the noname
[02:32] <winstonebook> get minecraft for free!
[02:32] <twitchie> !info playonlinux | winstonebook
[02:32] <fuzzylumpkinz> i just want photoshop and I want to know if it works on playonlinux
[02:33] <SolarisBoy> is noname in state disconnected? justus ?
[02:33] <winstonebook> it will and wine too
[02:33] <Asar> greetings... am looking for a desktop applet for the lunar phase. Can anybody recommend 1?
[02:33] <iFlip> does the (noname) have an ip associated?
[02:33] <bttf> whast the best logmein alternative for ubuntu? i just want to be able to remotely access my PC through port 80
[02:33] <SolarisBoy> bttf: VNC
[02:33] <Asar> fuzzylumpkinz, try GIMP... it's a great program for linux
[02:33] <fuzzylumpkinz> no
[02:33] <fuzzylumpkinz> no gimp
[02:33] <SolarisBoy> AND ITS FREE
[02:34] <Asar> GIMP is a great program :) Am very pleased with it
[02:34] <Asar> Very easy to use as well
[02:34] <SolarisBoy> <-- same
[02:34] <very> SolarisBoy, the last modification of xorg.conf was in june. probably that's a good thing. something else has to be the problem.
[02:34] <SolarisBoy> photoshop is the gimp with a thousand dollar pricetag
[02:34] <Asar> SolarisBoy, do you know of a good LunarPhase applet for Linux?
[02:34] <twitchie> gimp > PS
[02:35] <iFlip> justus: if you can see the router - what kind is it?
[02:35] <SolarisBoy> Asar: hmm good question - nopes that would be cool
[02:35] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: I taught Photoshop for 6+ years.. and used it for longer..... because I can't justify the price of Photoshop for Taxpayers.... I use GIMP now
[02:35] <justus> test
[02:35] <justus> can anyone read this?
[02:35] <very> gimp is great.
[02:35] <designbybeck> and I enjoy it more than Photoshop these days
[02:35] <Asar> SolarisBoy, figured with your name you might know of 1
[02:35] <iFlip> justus: yes we can read
[02:35] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: do you have any examples of what you are doing with Photoshop currently?
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> ohh im not that fancy
[02:36] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I use mypaint and Im getting tired of it
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> just boring ol SOL (os)
[02:36] <designbybeck> MyPaint is great!!!
[02:36] <iFlip> justus: what kind of router is running the net
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> not anything cool like planet surfing.
[02:36] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, and I couldn't figure out how to get just line/paint brushes onto gimp, it was all vector crap
[02:36] <designbybeck> have you tried Krita fuzzylumpkinz
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> gimp is not all vector
[02:36] <justus> test, does it work again?
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> only the path tool and a couple of other things
[02:36] <SolarisBoy> othe than that it's all raster
[02:37] <designbybeck> have you tried Paint Shop for GIMP?
[02:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, krita makes me confused
[02:37] <iFlip> justus: your text is displaying
[02:37] <justus> iFlip: sorry, I screwed up the internet connection, did you write anything after 04:32:50?
[02:37] <OerHeks> fuzzylumpkinz, check darktable > http://www.darktable.org/  & ppa https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus
[02:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, no i have never heard of it
[02:37] <designbybeck> yes for vector i use Inkscape
[02:37] <iFlip> justus: I was asking what kind of router is running your net
[02:37] <designbybeck> I think they have Paint shop for 2.8 GIMP now
[02:37] <jagginess> trism, hi
[02:37] <designbybeck> basically taking things from mypaint and the like and mixing it with GIMP
[02:37] <SolarisBoy> designbybeck: paint studio?
[02:37] <designbybeck> hmmmm
[02:38] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, i have 2.6 gimp
[02:38] <SolarisBoy> 2.8 is sweet
[02:38] <iFlip> justus: Linksys - Netgear - D-Link (I hope not D-Link) - etc
[02:38] <designbybeck> ah yes SolarisBoy is correct GPS
[02:38] <designbybeck> http://code.google.com/p/gps-gimp-paint-studio/
[02:38] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  you really need 2.8!!!
[02:38] <designbybeck> GIMP 2.8 many more features
[02:38] <justus> iFlip: some fritz box is running in the router position, the network is driven by a 28 port  HP switch
[02:38] <fuzzylumpkinz> x-x
[02:39] <SolarisBoy> booku more features
[02:39] <SolarisBoy> and they updated a lot of plugins to work through layers
[02:39] <designbybeck> For my photography workflow I use Darktable
[02:39] <designbybeck> http://darktable.org
[02:39] <OerHeks> gimp 2.8 will be available in ubuntu QQ 12.10
[02:39] <designbybeck> then take it to gimp 2.8 for other editing and compositing
[02:39] <fuzzylumpkinz> I just draw and do digital painting
[02:39] <iFlip> justus: a fritz box, I'm not familiar with that. What do you mean... Also, the HP switch, is that a managed switch?
[02:39] <fuzzylumpkinz> I don't edit photo's
[02:40] <very> the only problem i have with gimp is that i'm unable to resize/rotate layers correctly.
[02:40] <SolarisBoy> is that a layer 3 switch?
[02:40] <designbybeck> ah just drawing...gotcha... yeah I can't draw! LOL
[02:40] <SolarisBoy> they fixed that very in 2.8
[02:40] <designbybeck> i do photography and such
[02:40] <iFlip> fuzzylumpkinz: I don't edit photos either - I take em right the first time lol
[02:40] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  have you tried Pencil
[02:41] <SolarisBoy> also a lot of the default settings people dont put correctly so the sized are always skewed
[02:41] <SolarisBoy> like disabling dot for dot etc
[02:41] <designbybeck> basic drawing with animation?
[02:41] <justus> iFlip: I believe the problem could be located in my local network settings
[02:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I have pencil
[02:41] <battlefield> SolarisBoy,
[02:41] <designbybeck> and fuzzylumpkinz are you familiar with David Revoy
[02:41] <very> 2.8? nice, thank you. i'll try that. currently still using 2.6
[02:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, the lines are crap
[02:41] <battlefield> i put this comand
[02:41] <battlefield> sudo service Network-manager start
[02:41] <designbybeck> yes very give it a go
[02:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> and i can't upload the animations to DA
[02:41] <battlefield> terminal ask me the password
[02:41] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: this isn't it im afraid
[02:42] <justus> iFlip: basically the IP Adress of the server should be either 10.0.0.200 or 192.168.178.222, the latter I can't find, the first is unreachable, I'll fix that part next
[02:42] <SolarisBoy> battlefield: that would be your password
[02:42] <battlefield> afraid?
[02:42] <very> i thought it would update automatically.
[02:42] <designbybeck> and fuzzylumpkinz here is David Revoy's work in case you haven't seen it: http://www.davidrevoy.com/2-portfolio.html
[02:42] <SolarisBoy> kk time to lay down
[02:42] <iFlip> justus: how can you have a server with two DISTINCTIVELY different subnet masks?
[02:43] <battlefield> ok
[02:43] <designbybeck> and speaking of which, in case you Ubuntuheads haven't seen Blenders Moive yet "Tears of Steel" you should check it out. Ubuntu was used as the OS and has a shout out in the Credits
[02:43] <justus> iFlip: note the either/or, I'm not sure what it was set to the last time it was running
[02:43] <designbybeck> very do you have the ppa added
[02:43] <fuzzylumpkinz> yeap I suck xD
[02:43] <designbybeck> if not I would suggest adding the 2.8ppa and then you'll be golden! ;)
[02:43] <iFlip> justus: Well, you should know immediately by checking your IP address. Whatever the first three numbers are tells you what subnet your on
[02:44] <designbybeck> lol that is what I feel like fuzzylumpkinz
[02:44] <iFlip> justus: If your server is on a different subnet than your own, you will NEVER access it via any protocol
[02:44] <very> designbybeck no ppa.
[02:44] <justus> iFlip: couldn't I change my subnetmask/ip?
[02:44] <designbybeck> i can't draw! but I do this with Ubuntu and GIMP Inkscape Darktable: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.206454294846.130469.500284846&type=3&l=be12e6b91e
[02:45] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, it still gives me 2.6 from ubuntu software center
[02:45] <designbybeck> very: any reason you aren't using a ppa?
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> iFlip: it's possible afaik
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> 2 nics or even on an alias
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> not that it's sensible like that but it would work
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> assuming they are classful
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> fuzzylumpkinz: did you run apt-get update after adding ppa?
[02:45] <FloodBot1> SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:45] <designbybeck> after you followed the ppa directionsf or GIMP 2.8 fuzzylumpkinz?
[02:45] <designbybeck> yes what SolarisBoy said
[02:45] <iFlip> Not unless you someone how manage to setup an AD_HOC, which is doubtful right now. If the server is set for DHCP then are in the clear.
[02:45] <SolarisBoy> oh i thought i was flooding?
[02:45] <fuzzylumpkinz> should I just go fetch it from the interwebs then?
[02:45] <iFlip> justus: set you computer to DHCP and you should both land on the same subnet
[02:45] <rgenito> i'm following these instructions... and it says i need to install build-essentials, but aptitude tells me "unable to locate build-essentials" ... eeps!
[02:45] <very> designbybeck, i just installed ubuntu and installed gimp with the software center. i didn't knew this was a bad idea.
[02:45] <fuzzylumpkinz> I deleted gimp 2.6
[02:45] <rgenito> how do i help apt locate that package? =|
[02:46] <fuzzylumpkinz> now I want 2.8
[02:46] <SolarisBoy> clumbsy ops
[02:46] <justus> iFlip: ok, back where I was initially, setting my own IP Adress on eth0 to 10.0.0.90 and then trying to ping the server didn't help either
[02:46] <SolarisBoy> justus: did this work at one point with out changing settings?
[02:46] <justus> iFlip: Which means, I got a keyboard, a login screen, and zero ideas on how to find out and/or change the ip adress of the server
[02:47] <rgenito> halllp ;(
[02:47] <iFlip> justus: is the server set for DHCP
[02:47] <designbybeck> yes you should remove it... USC doesn't keep up with new changes and features very
[02:47] <justus> SolarisBoy: last time I was involved the server was standing where it is right now, but I had to retrieve it from storage and I got no idea what hapened in the time since I last saw it
[02:47] <iFlip> justus: or is static assigned?
[02:47] <SolarisBoy> i see
[02:47] <justus> iFlip: sadly I forgot my crystal ball ^^
[02:48] <SolarisBoy> justus: if you have access to the server you can check
[02:48] <iFlip> justus: so you don't remember how the server handles connecting to a LAN...
[02:48] <iFlip> DHCP or static
[02:48] <ramprasadgk> where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd ot lubuntu installed m/c
[02:48] <SolarisBoy> lord forbid they do vlans...
[02:49] <justus> iFlip: I do remember how the server was SUPPOSED to handle network connections, it doesn't agree on that with me however ^^
[02:49] <designbybeck> very: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:49] <SolarisBoy> word ^^
[02:49] <iFlip> justus: my suggestion would be to connect the server to a simple router and check the DHCP tables
[02:49] <jshriver> Greetings, anyone know how to add a second spool for postfix or how the spool works
[02:49] <ramprasadgk> where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd or on a lubuntu installed m/c
[02:50] <very> okay.. /dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[02:50] <justus> iFlip: that has the minor setback of not having a simple router around to test it with :(
[02:50] <iFlip> justus: other option, try setting your IP to 10.0.0.xx  or 192.168.178.xx  but make sure you leave the gateway blank and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
[02:50] <jshriver> ram: when in doubt  "whereis gparted" or "dpkg -L gparted | grep bin"
[02:51] <iFlip> justus, plug directly into the machine, bypass a switch or router
[02:51] <very> designbybeck so i guess they don't have it for lucid.
[02:51] <ramprasadgk> during installation where can i find the same
[02:51] <designbybeck> ahhh
[02:51] <iFlip> justus: that is if you had the server on a Class C subnet prior
[02:51] <designbybeck> what kinda specs you  have very?
[02:51] <fuzzylumpkinz> okayokayokayokay here is where I am stuck
[02:51] <designbybeck> your system very
[02:52] <designbybeck> what you go fuzzylumpkinz
[02:52] <enav1> hello i want to install android in virtual box but android got a long list of images which one i should download
[02:52] <justus> iFlip: I allready tried the manual IP/Subnet and got nowhere
[02:52] <very> designbybeck i am running ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook.
[02:52] <fuzzylumpkinz> when I am installing this photoshop from wine, do I put,....Z:\home\jen\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended Edition that as the destination folder or something else
[02:52] <iFlip> justus: did you plug directly
[02:52] <folorn> good evening folks :)
[02:53] <designbybeck> lol doh! I'm not helping with that fuzzylumpkinz :P I don't know anything about that
[02:53] <iFlip> justus: you can't log into this machine at all BTW
[02:53] <designbybeck> very: if you can't get 2.8 try the ppas for 2.7.4 i think it was
[02:53] <designbybeck> i am pretty sure i had that running on my netbook
[02:53] <iFlip> justus: i mean like a normal login
[02:54] <kurios> ls
[02:54] <justus> iFlip: if I had some kind of user credentials I could, I have physical access  by way of keyboard and monitor after all
[02:54] <folorn> if someone with xchat has some time for a quick question could ya lemme know please.
[02:54] <very> designbybeck, i don't thin my netbook is the problem. it's just that they don't have it compiled for 10.04. i will try 2.7.4 if 2.8 doesn't work.
[02:54] <iFlip> justus: do you have a user/pass for SSH log
[02:54] <folorn> I'm haveing a small issue.
[02:54] <_mads> hey everyone.   How do I restore my default audio settings?  Everything was fine before I open the "mixer" -> "switches" tab -> uncheck "headphones" box.   Now I cant hear a thing
[02:54] <justus> iFlip: I could a) wait 3 hours and then ask the guy who has the credentials or b) call him now and wake him up in the middle of the night
[02:55] <wilee-nilee> folorn, If you do not decribe it we cannot help you. ;)
[02:55] <fuzzylumpkinz> okay im gettin mad....I keep getting gimp 2.6
[02:55] <wilee-nilee> describe*
[02:55] <very> designbybeck, they only have gimp compiled for oneiric, precise and quantal.
[02:55] <designbybeck> hmmm
[02:55] <very> i'll just try to compile it myself.
[02:55] <ramprasadgk> where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd or on a lubuntu installed m/c
[02:55] <iFlip> justus: ahh - the best way to find out in the position your in is if the server is set for DHCP then you can find the ip and gain access through the routing tables of the router.
[02:56] <designbybeck> i would think you could still find a .deb or something very
[02:56] <designbybeck> why not upgrade distros?
[02:56] <folorn> wilee
[02:56] <enav1> hello i want to install android in virtual box but android got a long list of images which one i should download http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list
[02:56] <justus> iFlip: Ah, my skills of deduction just gave me the IP Adress the server was supposed to have (192.168.178.222)
[02:56] <folorn> i need to know how to join a new server
[02:57] <folorn> can't remember its been so long since I've been on here :) sorry.
[02:57] <tiox> I recently bought a Netgear Push2TV Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) adapter, and I am wondering if there is some way I can have it work in Ubuntu.
[02:57] <iFlip> justus: you got the address now??
[02:57] <designbybeck> very i'm running a Dell Netbook 10 with Ubuntu and Kubuntu 12.04
[02:57] <justus> iFlip: which basically means "something is screwed up seriously, so forget about getting onto this machine any time before you wake up the guy who did the screwing part"
[02:57] <usr13> folorn: What do you need to do?
[02:58] <justus> iFlip: nah, just the one it was supposed to have, the fact that it doesn't doesn't bode well for my task
[02:58] <chris92> hey there... can anyone tell me if there is a WUBI version that works with the 12.04.1 releases?
[02:58] <tiox> designbybeck: Unrelated, but I found a way to retrieve the contents of their recovery partition to restore their copy of Microsoft Windows whenever Windows bites it so hard you can;t do it conventionally.
[02:58] <iFlip> justus: well, good luck I can understand your furstration
[02:58] <usr13> chris92: Sure you don't wanna do a real Ubuntu install?
[02:58] <very> i think i had problems installing a higher ubuntu version designbybeck. but maybe it's possible now. i think i'll just try to upgrade today. :)
[02:58] <folorn> i just wanna join a new sever usr13
[02:58] <justus> iFlip: Actually, the server os is on a usb stick *think*
[02:58] <usr13> folorn: to ________________?
[02:58] <folorn> like i got the addy just forgot how
[02:58] <chris92> the problem is, the notebook I want to install it on has a broken CD drive
[02:58] <folorn> um 1sec
[02:59] <justus> iFlip: could I somehow find out what happens by debugging the files?
[02:59] <usr13> folorn: ifconfig
[02:59] <folorn> irc.windfyre.net 6667
[02:59] <chris92> and doesnt support boot from usb
[02:59] <very> okay. thank you very much. see you later.
[02:59] <designbybeck> hmmm tiox I'm not sure of that? I haven't used Windows in a very long time... and the times I have helped people dual boot everything has gone ok
[02:59] <tiox> chris92: Can you remove the hard drive from inside the unit?
[02:59] <usr13> folorn: Sorry, but I'm not understanding what your question is.
[02:59] <iFlip> justus: as long as it was logging
[02:59] <designbybeck> very, juts back up your data first as always
[02:59] <iFlip> justus: I don't see why not
[02:59] <designbybeck> best to do a full clean install for a fresh start
[02:59] <folorn> i wanna join that server irc.windfyre.net 6667
[03:00] <tiox> designbybeck: Can we speak some in PM? Else our discussion will be noise in here.
[03:00] <designbybeck> but i've had recent upgrades go just fine
[03:00] <_mads> hey everyone, how do I restore my audio settings to factory on ubuntu?
[03:00] <justus> iFlip: Waaaaaait a minute, I have ubuntu on my laptop, shouldn't I be able to edit the password file?
[03:00] <folorn> but can't remember how to do so with this client again.
[03:00] <designbybeck> yeah hit me  up tiox
[03:00] <very> backing up data. that's a good advice.
[03:00] <chris92> tiox: probably, but its a 6 yr old notebook. dont think i have the needed adapters for the pc then
[03:00] <designbybeck> also a Disclamer most of us helping others give ;)
[03:00] <Stanley00> folorn: you can use /server command ;)
[03:00] <usr13> folorn: Oh, ok. /server irc.windfyre.net
[03:00] <iFlip> justus: you could use vim to get file
[03:01] <folorn> hah thanks guys :)
[03:01] <hatsaresilly> Hello, I would like to set up two computers which can communicate using a dial up modem. These systems will not have an internet connection, just dial each other directly. Is there a way to do this in Ubuntu?
[03:01] <fuzzylumpkinz> how the heck do I just get GIMP 2.8????
[03:02] <fuzzylumpkinz> it always brings me back to gimp 2.6
[03:02] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, and how do you get the paint doo-hicky on it?
[03:02] <usr13> hatsaresilly: How far apart are they? (How about just a crossover cable, (many times faster).
[03:02] <hatsaresilly> across state lines
[03:02] <iFlip> justus: or even better, create a new user and join it to the main group
[03:03] <usr13> hatsaresilly: Oh, ok.  Well, I dono.  Never done that before, but, I suppose you'll have to set one up as a server and the other as client.
[03:03] <justus> iFlip: In what logfile should I look for the ip adress?
[03:04] <hatsaresilly> Yeah, I wouldn't use a dial up modem unless it was my only option. :(
[03:04] <chris92> tiox: i could try to put the hard drive in an older computer, just have to check if its sata already or still IDE... that would solve the problem - but i dont really want to have to do that
[03:04] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp
[03:05] <Stanley00> fuzzylumpkinz: you can use a ppa for gimp 2.8
[03:05] <fuzzylumpkinz> wait wait one at a time xD first, i need gimp 2.8, what is the command? sudo apt-get gimp 2.8?
[03:05] <designbybeck> i normally always run ppa's instead of USC builds
[03:06] <fuzzylumpkinz> because if I do sudo apt get gimp, it just takes me back to 2.6
[03:06] <justus> iFlip: ouch, eth0 seems to have some error, dmesg shows that it's down :(
[03:06] <designbybeck> yes you might have some bugs here and there.... but remember OSS uses... "Release Early, Release Often!"
[03:06] <iFlip> justus: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
[03:06] <xangua> fuzzylumpkinz: a ppa is a third party repository hosted on launchpad, remember that you use a third party repository on your own risk designbybeck
[03:06] <designbybeck> and report your bugs....it's what makes the world go 'round
[03:06] <tiox> Well chris, the idea here is to use the drive on a different PC and make an installation partition on it.
[03:07] <designbybeck> yes fuzzylumpkinz what xangua say... very important! Ubuntu is only as secure as to what you trust to let in it
[03:07] <designbybeck> always remember that
[03:07] <justus> iFlip: ok, that is one weird interfaces file, gimme a sec
[03:07] <tiox> So when you boot from hard disk, you're really booting into the installer. Then from there you can make another partition (hopefully) without having to unmount SDA.
[03:07] <designbybeck> I do my research on the ppa's I use... and chat with the developers to a level I am comfrotable with their ppa
[03:08] <tiox> That, or you use another PC with the hard drive connected via USb in a USB boot-capable machine...
[03:08]  * stillandstorm waves
[03:08] <tiox> USB*
[03:08] <iFlip> justus: check to make sure auto lo iface lo inte looback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[03:08] <usr13> hatsaresilly: http://www.aboutdebian.com/modems.htm
[03:08] <tiox> ...Hey, is there any way chris could network boot with Intel PXE and then run do some fancy tech-fu to install Ubuntu through there?
[03:08] <tiox> and then do*
[03:09] <justus> http://pastebin.com/UtEU6pXL
[03:09] <hatsaresilly> thanks usr13, that may be helpful.
[03:09] <justus> iFlip: please tell me that this is bullshit and how I can fix it ^^
[03:09] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, so I do all of those in order?
[03:09] <iFlip> justus: mine looks very different - I LACP BOND 4 enabled on my eth0 - eth1
[03:10] <designbybeck> you can copy and paste that whole line in your terminal and perss enter
[03:10] <designbybeck> put in your pass word .... say "y" when asked
[03:10] <designbybeck> you're good to go!
[03:10] <fuzzylumpkinz> yeah still gave me 2.6
[03:10] <iFlip> justus: is the interfaces conf destroyed?
[03:10] <fuzzylumpkinz> im still on oneiric ocelot if that matters any
[03:10] <jagginess> iFlip, ifdownup is not the default for networking..
[03:10] <designbybeck> the && passes the command to the next, but will stop if there is an error with the previous command..... if you did a ; between the commands it would just keep running with or with out an error
[03:11] <justus> iFlip: have you had a look at the pastebin?
[03:11] <designbybeck> I learned that yesterday from the #xubuntu room ;)
[03:11] <jagginess> iFlip, NetworkManager replaces ifdownup.. he should be using the nmcli commands
[03:11] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I did them seperate and it still gave me 2.6...am I just stuck with it for now?
[03:11] <iFlip> justus: ifup should be established
[03:11]  * jagginess says not to rely on /etc/network/interfaces as NetworkManager/.conf is the default network configurator-- it isnt ifdownup
[03:11] <rgenito> anyone know of a way to make an encrypted tar file? :D
[03:12] <designbybeck> hmmm
[03:12] <chris92> tiox: well, I'll try my best tomorrow, if nothing helps i can pretty much throw this notebook away
[03:12] <usr13> hatsaresilly: http://www.aboutdebian.com/modems.htm  and http://www.trinityos.com/LINUX/TrinityOS/cHTML/TrinityOS-c-42.html
[03:12] <justus> great, my touchpad is frozen again *sigh*
[03:12] <rgenito> justus, aww man, sorry to hear that :(
[03:13] <designbybeck> do you have anything else open? USC ? Synaptic?

[03:13] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  ^^
[03:13] <tiox> chris92: I sent you a PM.
[03:13] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, what?
[03:13] <very> justus, do you use a thinkpad?
[03:13] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh
[03:13] <justus> rgenito: well it is a royal pain in the posterior, and it happens quite often... I really wonder wether that bug ever will be fixed
[03:13] <xangua> designbybeck: you just gave fuzzylumpkinz a ppa that has no packages for oneiric
[03:13] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  so in the term, you put in the first line... sudo apt-add.......
[03:13] <fuzzylumpkinz> i have like skype and all that crap open
[03:13] <justus> very: no samsung nc10
[03:14] <designbybeck> doh! Guess I should have asked that first xangua sorry fuzzylumpkinz
[03:14] <rgenito> usr13, i'm talking about encryption tho -_- not just compression
[03:14] <rgenito> this looks like a pretty good solution:http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/07/working-with-tar-with-encryption.html
[03:14] <fuzzylumpkinz> so what do I do?
[03:14] <rgenito> whoops: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/07/working-with-tar-with-encryption.html
[03:14] <justus> but don't get me started on those little annoyances, cause I have one that tops everything
[03:14] <usr13> rgenito: Yea, I see.  I dono
[03:14] <designbybeck> xangua: do you have a solution?
[03:14] <hatsaresilly> Thanks
[03:15] <designbybeck> is the 2.7+ still available for Oneiric?
[03:15] <rgenito> usr13, check out that link...looks pretty useful :)
[03:15] <justus> if I change the brightness of my display to any value besides maximum, minimum or minimum+1 the brightness goes through all the other steps in the direction I made the first step and only stops at the extreme setting
[03:15] <justus> so I got a laptop I can only set to maximum or minimum brightness
[03:15] <iFlip> [main]
[03:15] <iFlip> plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[03:15] <iFlip> justus: NetworkManager conf file should read
[03:16] <justus> if I hit the brightness adjusting hotkeys during the phase of transition it begins jumping wildly around in the brightness settings
[03:16] <usr13> rgenito: Yea, that looks good
[03:16] <justus> if I had epilepsy it would be a very dangerous thing indeed ^^
[03:16] <justus> iFlip: uhm, which file should that be ^^
[03:17] <mnewton> I want to play a sound on my speakers even if my headphones are plugged in. How do I do this in a bash script?
[03:17] <mnewton> I want to play a sound on my speakers even if my headphones are plugged in. How do I do this in a bash script?
[03:18] <iFlip> justus: nm-system-settings.conf
[03:18] <mnewton> I'm messing with /usr/bin/amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ unmute
[03:18] <mnewton> sry for repost
[03:18] <justus> iFlip: where do I find that?
[03:18] <fuzzylumpkinz> so how do I get to thepaint do hicky on gimp then?
[03:18] <iFlip> [ifupdown]
[03:18] <iFlip> managed=false
[03:18] <iFlip> justus: the second line should read
[03:18] <iFlip> justus: sudo vi /etc/NetworkManeged/nm-system-settings.conf
[03:19] <iFlip> justus: sudo vi /etc/NetworkManaged/nm-system-settings.conf <-- had a typo
[03:20] <justus> iFlip: the file is identical
[03:20] <mnewton> How do i switch output device
[03:20] <justus> iFlip: please excuse me for a minute I have to fix this touchpad bug
[03:20] <iFlip> justus: how did the /etc/network/interfaces file look?
[03:21] <designbybeck> sorry fuzzylumpkinz i'm not sure on that one, I always stay current/cutting edge with the builds and releases.... mainly so I can be ahead of the curve to help others out.... But i forget others can't upgrade for what ever reason as fast
[03:21] <usr13> mnewton: Use the Display Adapter's cofig menu.
[03:21] <designbybeck> l
[03:21] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: I do know that GPS was pretty well polished for gimp 2.6
[03:21] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, so I cannot get gimp 2.8 and the painty what not?
[03:21] <designbybeck> so just do a search on google for "gimp GPS" and see what you get
[03:21] <designbybeck> Gimp Paint Studio
[03:22] <designbybeck> Can you upgrade your distro to Ubuntu 12.04 fuzzylumpkinz?
[03:22] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I doubt it
[03:22] <usr13> mnewton: Fir instance:  NVIDIA X Server Settings
[03:22] <fuzzylumpkinz> my internet is so slow its more than likely it will break
[03:23] <designbybeck> why not fuzzylumpkinz
[03:23] <fuzzylumpkinz> and I don't want to re-do my whole damn computer again
[03:23] <mnewton> usr13, no, I want it cli
[03:24] <mnewton> I think i have to mess withSpeaker Playback Switch
[03:24] <mnewton> in amixer
[03:24] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, so not likely
[03:25] <designbybeck> I do mine every six months pretty much ;)
[03:25] <designbybeck> what about a dual boot fuzzylumpkinz
[03:25] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I don't know how to dualboot
[03:25] <designbybeck> do a clean Ubuntu 12.04 to play with the cutting edge stuff and the other one for fall bac fuzzylumpkinz
[03:25] <designbybeck> so you have a clean install and only the one OS on your system fuzzylumpkinz
[03:26] <usr13> mnewton: xrandr
[03:26] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I dont know how to do it and Im not confident enough to do it
[03:26] <designbybeck> ok fair enough
[03:26] <designbybeck> you could practice in a VM as well
[03:26] <designbybeck> just trying to point out things to help you get comfortable with Linux installs and such
[03:27] <designbybeck> i find myself these days doing 1-3 installs or trials a week with random distros and random computer types
[03:27] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, that always breaks on me
[03:27] <justus> aaaaand again something that didn't quite work out as planned
[03:27] <designbybeck> how much ram in your system fuzzylumpkinz
[03:27] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, i have no idea
[03:27] <usr13> fuzzylumpkinz: free
[03:28] <designbybeck> ...what usr13 said ;)
[03:28] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: how long have you been using Linux?
[03:28] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, a couple years
[03:28] <justus> iFlip: I think I'll give it up at this point.
[03:28] <designbybeck> ah, we gotta get your feet...wetter ;)
[03:28] <designbybeck> open a terminal window
[03:28] <justus> iFlip: thanks for your help, even though it didn't work out at the end
[03:28] <fuzzylumpkinz> yup
[03:28] <iFlip> justus: np - hope you get it figured out
[03:29] <designbybeck> type "free -m" without ""
[03:29] <fuzzylumpkinz> I just cant remember all the commands and stuff
[03:29] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: free -m
[03:29] <justus> iFlip: it is leadpipe solvable, if you know what I mean :D
[03:29] <designbybeck> should give you your Free RAM in Megabyes
[03:29] <fuzzylumpkinz> total, 3773, used 3518, free 255
[03:30] <designbybeck> so if that is MB you have 4GB on your system
[03:30] <designbybeck> that is good!
[03:30] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, how do I free up more
[03:31] <designbybeck> you don't need to free up more
[03:31] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, okay
[03:31] <designbybeck> It's a Linux Thing ;) but we'll not go there now..... you have enough RAM
[03:31] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, okay
[03:31] <designbybeck> next fuzzylumpkinz in the term.... "df -h"
[03:31] <fuzzylumpkinz> okay
[03:31] <designbybeck> This will show you Disk Space in a Human readable format
[03:32] <fuzzylumpkinz> uhh lemme get a pastebin
[03:32] <Captain_Claw> where are the font settings in ubuntu 12.04?
[03:32] <usr13> fuzzylumpkinz: less /proc/meminfo
[03:32] <fuzzylumpkinz> http://pastebin.com/L6FsdHmz
[03:32] <iFlip> night/morning
[03:33] <designbybeck> dang usr13 go easy on him! :P
[03:33] <designbybeck> i hadn't used that one myself
[03:33] <fuzzylumpkinz> her lol
[03:34] <designbybeck> doh... my apologize ma'am
[03:34] <fuzzylumpkinz> thaz okay
[03:34] <hvq> hi, when I press alt+tab in ubuntu, I can see the windows in current workspace and they are grouped, how can I make each window a separate icon?
[03:34] <designbybeck> and fuzzylumpkinz consider using http://pasteall.org or http://paste.ubuntu.com .... as those are buy the OSS community and at least don't have ads ;)
[03:34] <usr13> designbybeck: I thought free showed kb  not mb
[03:35] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, I dont mind them
[03:35] <designbybeck> usr13:  if you do "free -m" it will show MB
[03:35] <Captain_Claw> font settings in ubuntu 12.04 gnome -- how do I change it?  anyone?
[03:36] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: fyi you can "man" any command to learn about it... man is Manual Pages... aka Help file
[03:36] <fuzzylumpkinz> so what exactly am I doing?
[03:36] <designbybeck> ...so "man free" will tell you how to use free
[03:36] <fuzzylumpkinz> okay
[03:36] <usr13> designbybeck: Oh, I didn't see the -m
[03:36] <designbybeck> i was just trying to get a feel for what your system is
[03:37] <designbybeck> so fuzzylumpkinz what kinda VM were you using? VirtualBox or VMPlayer
[03:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> I feel violated :tehe:
[03:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> VB yes
[03:37] <designbybeck> :P
[03:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> I had XP in it, and it would break all the time
[03:37] <designbybeck> ok and were you able to create the actual virtual machine
[03:37] <fuzzylumpkinz> yes
[03:37] <designbybeck> well yes it is Windows XP afterall :P
[03:38] <fuzzylumpkinz> no i mean it wouldnt let me get in it after a whil
[03:38] <fuzzylumpkinz> while
[03:38] <designbybeck> ok so did you ever try to boot up a Ubuntu ISO in it?
[03:38] <fuzzylumpkinz> nope
[03:38] <designbybeck> So try it... go to http://ubuntu.com and the download area
[03:38] <designbybeck> download Ubuntu 12.04 32bit .iso
[03:39] <designbybeck> I think I have about 20 .iso from random projects
[03:39] <designbybeck> ah one sec fuzzylumpkinz I do see from you df -h
[03:39] <fuzzylumpkinz> alrighty
[03:39] <designbybeck> your Hard Drive is full
[03:40] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh is it?
[03:40] <designbybeck> ...fuller...than would like to have for VM
[03:40] <fuzzylumpkinz> okay
[03:40] <fuzzylumpkinz> so what do I do now?
[03:40] <designbybeck> usr13:  did you see her pastebin df -h file
[03:40] <apg> any idea of other remastersys-like apps that run on ubuntu?
[03:40] <rkhshm> I would like to start looking into the linux kernel . I'm currently on opensolaris and do kernel work there. I would like to start contributing to linux as well.. Can anyone give me pointers on where to start looking? the IRC channel where the kernel folks hangout and stuff like that ?
[03:40] <designbybeck> and why is it installed on sda3 hmmmm
[03:40] <fuzzylumpkinz> uhm does anyone want me to use teamviewer?
[03:41] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  do you still have the xp VM
[03:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh lawd
[03:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> uhh
[03:41] <fuzzylumpkinz> well things are kinda messed up and Im not sure what is what
[03:41] <designbybeck> ah yes teamviewer would alow others to get on your system and help you out
[03:42] <fuzzylumpkinz> like I have a backup folder someone made for me kmv1 something, tehe, but I have no idea how to use it and such
[03:43] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz: do you have an external drive? or something you can back up your files to....just in case
[03:43] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, no i do not
[03:43] <designbybeck> i know you said you don't want to redo your ssytem
[03:43] <designbybeck> dropbox? ubuntu one?
[03:43] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, i have no flash or cd's
[03:44] <fuzzylumpkinz> uhh ubuntu one maybe
[03:44] <designbybeck> you should have 5GB for free with UO
[03:44] <designbybeck> I am just wondering about your harddrive
[03:44] <fuzzylumpkinz> i will make one
[03:44] <designbybeck> it seems full, but also seems you might have more space somewhre else maybe
[03:45] <designbybeck> who set this up for you? fuzzylumpkinz was it a clean install? do you have GRUB when you first turn on the system?
[03:46] <fuzzylumpkinz> Grub? my friend ken did, he is KM0201 on here
[03:46] <fuzzylumpkinz> lol do you just want to teamv?
[03:46] <designbybeck> haha
[03:47] <designbybeck> well when you first turn on the computer, most of the time there is a GRUB Bootloader that lets you pick
[03:47] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh no
[03:47] <designbybeck> before you get to the desktop
[03:47] <fuzzylumpkinz> it just brings me into-oh wait a second
[03:47] <designbybeck> Hmm where is Ken now! LOL
[03:47] <fuzzylumpkinz> I have a 215 gb files as devices
[03:48] <designbybeck> HMMMmmmmm
[03:48] <designbybeck> fuzzylumpkinz:  where do you see this?
[03:48] <fuzzylumpkinz> on the home button, then at the very top and it has a grey 'pause' button kinda
[03:49] <designbybeck> hmm.. home button? the Ubuntu Logo "Dash" button onthe top left?
[03:49] <fuzzylumpkinz> lmao it looks like a house, and its orange
[03:49] <designbybeck> oh yes you aer on oreinic?
[03:50] <designbybeck> dang I need someoen else responding now who knows more about older distros
[03:50] <Shazer[2]> can I unzip a tar via ftp?
[03:50] <designbybeck> but the fact you see 200gb that has to mean you have more space somewhere
[03:50] <fuzzylumpkinz> uhm
[03:51] <designbybeck> Shazer[2]:  not sure about "ftp" but have you tried Filezilla?
[03:51] <fuzzylumpkinz> how do I find out?
[03:51] <designbybeck> ok fuzzylumpkinz can you open your file browser?
[03:51] <designbybeck> might be Home Places
[03:51] <fuzzylumpkinz> okay I have a ubuntu1
[03:51] <Shazer[2]> designbybeck.
[03:51] <designbybeck> Or Places>Home
[03:51] <Shazer[2]> Nope..
[03:51] <fuzzylumpkinz> what is a file browser?
[03:51] <fuzzylumpkinz> or hidden files?
[03:52] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh file system
[03:52] <designbybeck> Shazer[2]: Filezilla hasome good features...not sure if that. but i haven't used ftp IN A WHILe but filezilla was good for that
[03:52] <fuzzylumpkinz> hurdurr
[03:53] <designbybeck> ok fuzzylumpkinz so I'm thinking you have your ubuntu file system with only 30gb and then you have another file systemwith 200gb
[03:53] <designbybeck> when you open that 200gb what does it show?
[03:54] <Shazer[2]> designedbybeck, installing now.
[03:54] <Shazer[2]> :P
[03:54] <Shazer[2]> designbybeck,
[03:54] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, okay yeah probably
[03:55] <designbybeck> but what does it say fuzzylumpkinz
[03:55] <fuzzylumpkinz> im not sure how to find this?
[03:56] <fuzzylumpkinz> it just has a bunch of folders
[03:56] <blackshirt> I'm back
[03:56] <designbybeck> what do they say fuzzylumpkinz
[03:57] <fuzzylumpkinz> bin, boot, cdrom, etc....
[03:57] <WeThePeople> when i boot to ubuntu from dual boot menu the screen flashes and then a gui comes up and says "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself. then i click 'ok' and the screen flickers some more and a gui comes up and says "stand by one minute while display restarts" but doesnt. then i click 'ok' and then i restart
[03:57] <WeThePeople>  from there cuz it loads the boot screen and gets stuck there. i can type but i cant pull up a tty. and when the screen flickers i can see 'ntp.conf'
[03:58] <vicatcu> hi all, can someone tell me how to start tftpd on ubuntu 12.04?
[03:58] <designbybeck> and fuzzylumpkinz this is on the 200gb file system ?
[03:58] <vicatcu> i'm trying to follow these instructions
[03:58] <vicatcu> http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/
[03:58] <fuzzylumpkinz> oh no
[03:58] <vicatcu> but this line oesn't work: sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start
[03:59] <designbybeck> WeThePeople: have you tried nomodeset?
[03:59] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, on the backup it says, backup for virtual (my XP i had) lost and found, TEST, and virtual machne
[03:59] <WeThePeople> designbybeck, no
[03:59] <designbybeck> odd.... but what about the 200gb?
[03:59] <designbybeck> you can hit GRUB at bootup WeThePeople
[03:59] <designbybeck> ?
[04:00] <fuzzylumpkinz> idk but I just have the 215 under devices, then I have the rest of my computer
[04:00] <xangua> vicatcu: you are following a guide from 2006 ¿
[04:00] <Xabster> I canceled the update manager on a fresh install, now it says there are no updates... it was less than 10% done with about 90 updates or so - how do i re-start the updates?
[04:00] <Xabster> 12.04*
[04:00] <WeThePeople> designbybeck, idk what that means
[04:00] <vicatcu> xangua: i realize that, that's why i'm here asking for help - do you know where I can get more up to date instructions?
[04:00] <designbybeck> so if you click on the 215 fuzzylumpkinz what does it show
[04:00] <blackshirt> Xabster: usually, you can run apt-get update to update apt databases
[04:01] <blackshirt> vicatcu: what you mean with ?
[04:01] <designbybeck> WeThePeople:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[04:01] <vicatcu> blackshirt: just trying to get a tftp server running (i.e. tftpd
[04:01] <fuzzylumpkinz> those things I told you, four orange folders, backup for virtual, lost an found, test, and virtual machine
[04:01] <Xabster> blackshirt, that didn't help
[04:01] <designbybeck> what distro are you using WeThePeople?
[04:02] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, those things I told you, four orange folders, backup for virtual, lost an found, test, and virtual machine
[04:02] <designbybeck> hmm that is odd fuzzylumpkinz because that sounds like you should have more space than you do
[04:02] <designbybeck> or than df -h showed
[04:02] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, hunh idk
[04:02] <designbybeck> we need to ask Ken! LOL
[04:02] <WeThePeople> designbybeck, so the menu where i select what kernel i want is the grub menu.. 10.04
[04:03] <designbybeck> correct WeThePeople
[04:03] <blackshirt> vicatcu: what are you have been doing to make it works ?
[04:03] <vicatcu> should i be using tftpd-hpa instead of just tftpd?
[04:03] <designbybeck> ah yes... seems 11.10 and before I had these kinda problems
[04:03] <designbybeck> so maybe nomodeset will let you get in. and then you'll have to install other video drivers maybe?
[04:04] <WeThePeople> designbybeck, yes i can this takes place after i select newest kernel
[04:04] <vicatcu> blackshirt: trying instructions i find on the web - thinking about trying this one next: http://www.mmweg.rwth-aachen.de/~philipp.michalschik/wordpress/getting-tftp-to-run-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise/
[04:04] <designbybeck> but  fuzzylumpkinz and WeThePeople I have to head out for the night (for me) Good luck and keep asking in here, hopefully someone else can pick up where i left off
[04:04] <fuzzylumpkinz> designbybeck, okay thank you very much anyways
[04:05] <blackshirt> vicatcu: I have read it, so, exactly what the problems happen to you ?
[04:05] <vicatcu> couldn't get it to start
[04:06] <blackshirt> vicatcu: what the messages/syslog says ?
[04:06] <blackshirt> vicatcu: you should describe more detail
[04:07] <vicatcu> blackshirt: yes sorry you're right... i'm going to try the newer instructions first and i'll get back if still having trouble
[04:07] <blackshirt> vicatcu: greats
[04:07] <geekyogi> I'm using ubuntu 10.04, I wish to upgrade to 12.04. But I would like to confirm if it's possible to roll back to 10.04 if I have some issues with it.
[04:08] <aeon-ltd> geekyogi: not easily
[04:08] <blackshirt> geekyogi: I don't think downgrade was recommended
[04:08] <blackshirt> :D
[04:08] <geekyogi> @blackshirt, Thanks for confirming.
[04:09] <aeon-ltd> geekyogi: to 'roll back' you'd have to have a separate /home and keep all configs from previous versions of applications. then reinstall completely
[04:09] <blackshirt> geekyogi: its trully hard to rollback if you not have experiences on them :D
[04:10] <geekyogi> @aeon-ltd, with re-install you mean, installing 10.04 again ?
[04:10] <roklp> i just install fedora 17 on ubuntu .Intially , i d'nt get start ubuntu becuase of grub loader but after installing loader i get my ubuntu back but lost my fedora .Can any one save me !
[04:11] <aeon-ltd> geekyogi: yes, there is no real rollback method
[04:11] <geekyogi> I can save all the .config file, and bring back 10.04 to the same state, but it's just too much of task involved, time consuming.. so decided not to upgrade until April 2013, when the support for 10.04 ends..
[04:12] <Xabster> how do i uninstall the software updates that i have installed so far?
[04:12] <geekyogi> @aeon-lth @blackshirt Thanks a lot guys!
[04:12] <Xabster> geekyogi, i'm a windows kinda guy normally but couldn't you make an image of the entire OS-drive and save it on an external disk?
[04:12] <Xabster> and restore the image if stuff goes bad
[04:13] <roklp> !ot
[04:14] <geekyogi> @xabster, Yes it is possible, but just too much time involved to make the image / snapshot and transfer it,. I'd prefer to wait until the support for 10.04 is obsolete..
[04:14] <Xabster> roklp?
[04:15] <Xabster> what is off topic?
[04:15] <Guest54682> with gnome-terminal is there a way to change what key issues a SIGINT by default its shift+ctl+c if you assign ctl+c as copy paste. I added a .Xmodmap and changed let crl with the super button im wondering if i can get super+c to issues SIGINT...
[04:16] <geekyogi> @Guest54682 :Keyboard Preferences -> Layouts -> Options on ubuntu 10.04, will help you set the key maps easily...
[04:17] <geekyogi> @Guest54682, although it's system-wide
[04:17] <Guest54682> same on 12.04?
[04:17] <fresh_fm> g
[04:17] <geekyogi> @Guest54682, yes, checkout for options on Keyboard preferences..

[04:19] <fresh_fm> hi
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> !ru | fresh_fm
[04:19] <fresh_fm> im russia Sakhalin
[04:20] <vicatcu> ok so now I think I have tftpd-hpa running, but i can't seem to download from it... the server doesn't send back any responses at all to the client
[04:20] <vicatcu> after a read request
[04:24] <devslash> does anyone here run an ubuntu server ?
[04:24] <somsip> !anyone | devslash
[04:24] <devslash> i just asked
[04:25] <andrewaclt> devslash, yes
[04:25] <devslash> Im interested in setting up a headless dedicated ubuntu server. As far as specs go, Im looking at 3.0 GHZ or higher, at least 4 GB of RAM and ideally 4TB of storage
[04:25] <devslash> I've been looking at my options with different computers
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> !server | devslash
[04:26] <devslash> thats now what I'm asking
[04:28] <ramprasadgk1> Hi all
[04:28] <Xabster> 12.04: i canceled software updates (about 10% done with ~90 updates) right after boot on a fresh install -- rebooted, now update manager says 0 updates available
[04:28] <Ascavasaion> I am running Lubuntu 11.10.  I installed the Samsung Unified driver and my printer/scanner combo worked perfectly.  Bot the printing and the scanning.  I shut down and started the machine a day or so later and the printer part still works but the scanner does not.  I am trying to scan using Simple Scan.  lsusb shows that the printer/scanner is there.
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> deslash: you might wanna check out !security too
[04:28] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:29] <andrewaclt> Xabster, from a console sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> Xabster:maybe it installed correclty afterall
[04:29] <somsip> Xabster: try apt-get clean, then update again
[04:29] <devslash> lotuspsychje: what id really like to know is if someone can recommend a site where i can get a system to run a linux server matching those specs
[04:29] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> devslash:i would not worry for your specs mate...it will run fine and stable
[04:29] <andrewaclt> devslash, dedicated or vps? I use rackspace, but linode is also good, you also have aws
[04:30] <ramprasadgk1> rightclick to paste
[04:30] <devslash> andrewaclt: not sure whats the difference ?
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> devslash: you can also ask in ##hardware if your specs are good to go for ubuntu
[04:31] <andrewaclt> devslash, there is slight variation in price, admin interfaces for managing things like dns. Also 4tb of storage might be easier with one host or another
[04:31] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:31] <andrewaclt> ramprasadgk1, what is quickedit?
[04:31] <devslash> andrewaclt: no i want to run my own server
[04:32] <andrewaclt> devslash, Do you mean you want to run a server under your desk? Or you want to run one remotely?
[04:32] <ramprasadgk1> andrewaclt : quickedit means highlight to copy and right click to paste
[04:32] <devslash> andrewaclt: from my home
[04:32] <andrewaclt> devslash, you're asking where is a good place to buy hardware?
[04:33] <devslash> no I'm asking about what is a good server for my needs
[04:34] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:34] <piecemkr> hello
[04:35] <oldskool_> Hey I am trying to find a irc channel for virt-manager anyone know of one?
[04:36] <pmp6nl> Shoot, if I run ubuntu and just installed a program that runs on kde -- did I just download all of the kde files
[04:36] <andrewaclt> ramprasadgk1, http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-latest.txt
[04:36] <andrewaclt> ramprasadgk1, does that describe the problem you're having?
[04:36] <Nordom> I have a text file with japanese written in it, all the Japanese appears as boxes with numbers in them. How can I make gedit display the proper characters?
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> !alis | oldskool_
[04:37] <Xabster> andrewaclt, somsip: i tried that
[04:38] <piecemkr> @Nordom I think you must install proper font and maybe change coding of the document but not sure as I don't ever tried it.
[04:38] <Nordom> font is installed, wondering on the encoding bit
[04:38] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: Thx but I am looking for a irc channel that for support of virt-manager
[04:38] <oldskool_> :(
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:did you even read the trigger? you can search channels on freenode with 'virt-manager'
[04:39] <ramprasadgk1> andrewaclt NO
[04:39] <ramprasadgk1> i know those things
[04:39] <piecemkr> Nordom: mess with it a little maybe
[04:40] <ramprasadgk1> but i just want right click to work as paste thats all i care
[04:40] <Nordom> found the solution: open file inside gedit then select the unicode before u open text file
[04:40] <awc737> i can not figure out where my openjdk folder is
[04:40] <awc737> spring source installer is asking me for it
[04:41] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:41] <awc737> inside /usr/lib/jvm, there are 6 java folders, ive tried each one, and each one inside it
[04:41] <awc737> inside /usr/lib/jvm, there are 6 java folders, ive tried each one, and each one inside it
[04:42] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: Yeah nada
[04:42] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: Alias blows
[04:42] <oldskool_> :P
[04:42] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:stay polite mate...you even know if theres such a channel?
[04:42] <oldskool_> I don't think on freenode
[04:43] <oldskool_> I am trying to figure out where they host their irc channe
[04:43] <oldskool_> channel
[04:43] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: and mate im ALWAYS polite and ALWAYS sarcastic :P
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> !info virt-manager
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> lol
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:man virt-manager
[04:44] <oldskool_> they list their irc channel ect in man pages?
[04:44] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:why not asking your problem here its a supported package...omg
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> !patience | ramprasadgk1
[04:45] <Ascavasaion> First used Linux in about 1992, and I see it still does not have a cooking-clue about scanning.
[04:46] <oldskool_> !patience | rampasadgk1
[04:46] <oldskool_> !patience | lotuspsychje
[04:46] <oldskool_> :)
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:stop flooding the bots
[04:46] <oldskool_> I know, i know slap me arond
[04:46] <oldskool_> !stopfloodingbots
[04:46] <oldskool_> :)
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> Ascavasaion:define 'scanning'
[04:47] <piecemkr> I've got some question maybe not particiulary Ubuntu related but still. Gimmie some cool things to do with VPS
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | piecemkr
[04:48] <piecemkr> VPS not VPN
[04:48] <piecemkr> ;)
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> oh my bad
[04:48] <ramprasadgk1> does anyone have a solution to enable quickedit like in windows in XTERM/ konsole
[04:48] <oldskool_> Oh lotuspsychje can I do please? :)
[04:48] <oldskool_> !vps
[04:48] <Ascavasaion> lotuspsychje: Scanning images through USB scanner.  lsusb detects the printer/scanner combo, and it usedto work.  I then never touched the computer for two days and when I returned lsusb still detects the scanner/printer, but scanning software syats there is no scanner.
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> lol
[04:48] <oldskool_> epic fail
[04:48] <oldskool_> *shrugs*
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:the bot already hates you
[04:49] <oldskool_> :)
[04:49] <piecemkr> exit
[04:49] <piecemkr> meh
[04:49] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: So they will include info such as irc channels in the man pages?
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:many times when someone asks a related channel, they got trouble...so why not ask your trouble here
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:and if its just for a chitchat, goto #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:51] <somsip> ramprasadgk1: what is quickedit? What do you want to do in xterm?
[04:52] <oldskool_> Well I am using kvm and virt-manager on my headless vm server.... I have two phsical hd's and one is partitioned into sections that I want my vm's to run on so they are not running on the same drive that is running the actual vm server.... does that make sense?
[04:52] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: you ever use mightnight commander?
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> now where talking...that wasnt so hard right
[04:53] <oldskool_> midnight* rather
[04:54] <oldskool_> I always feel so dirty and used when I ask questions in the main channel...
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:is your question if it makes sense splitting your hd in 2 partitions?
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:for what purpose would you split hd half?
[04:55] <oldskool_> No what I mean is this... Won't i loose performance if I am running a vm server and vm's on the same hd because they are both using the same spindle? Wouldn't it more efficent if I have my vm's on a seperate drive ?
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:i think that would be recommended to run seperate drives yes, but other factors play
[04:56] <oldskool_> Which comes to my real question... I want to point to this other drive to create my vm's on but can't seem to find a method to do this...
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:ssd drives run fantastic for vm's
[04:56] <rkhshm> anyone would be interested in helping me get through understanding what it takes to become a linux contributor?
[04:57] <rkhshm> (in the kernel space?)
[04:57] <oldskool_> I have server grade hd's...
[04:57] <oldskool_> I wanted to get ssd's
[04:57] <rkhshm> i have lots of experience with building kernels for solaris now i want to lay my hands on linux.. anyone here?
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:try ##hardware for best performance layout for your needs
[04:57] <oldskool_> but others said not to as they are still unreliable
[04:57] <somsip> rkhshm: try http://kernelnewbies.org/
[04:57] <cfhowlett> rkhshm: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4576332/i-want-to-contribute-to-the-linux-kernel
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:many stable and fast ssd's out there these days
[04:58] <oldskool_> I do have sda3 support too
[04:58] <oldskool_> sata 3 rather
[04:58] <ferni> oldskool_: create a new storage pool with virt-manager and relocate the vms disk image there
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> lol
[04:58] <rkhshm> thanks
[04:59] <oldskool_> ferni: So I can just relocate the image there?
[05:00] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: I knew I should have bought the ssd
[05:00] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: *rage*
[05:00] <ferni> oldskool_: if you have the vm disk images as a image file its just remove that drive from vm and relocate it (you might need to refresh storage pools) and then add the image back from the new pool
[05:00] <rkhshm> cfhowlett: can i build 3.6 from 3.2.0(currently running on ubuntu 12.04)
[05:00] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:i run precise 12.04.1 64bit on ssd, goes rocket fast and stable, never had any data loss Ever! and its an old ssd
[05:01] <cfhowlett> rkhshm: sorry, unable to assist with kernel issues.  Stay in channel and ask again.
[05:01] <rkhshm> cfhowlett: ok thanks
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | rkhshm
[05:02] <oldskool_> ferni: You mean if I allocated it? I did not allocate the space I just created a image... So I located the image and move it to a temp folder than create a storage pool with the 2nd hard drive and copy the image onto that drive?
[05:02] <ferni> ive had data losses with ssd because they break.. actually in recent years i've encountered a lot more failing ssd than norman drives
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> ferni:on what brand and ubuntu version?
[05:03] <oldskool_> ferni: That's what I have been told too
[05:03] <blackshirt> rkhshm: do you have deepth understanding on assembly, C programming, on how kernel works together ?
[05:03] <oldskool_> ferni: and since this was a server running a business didn't want the trouble
[05:03] <rkhshm> blackshirt: yes
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:many servers use ssd layouts 2x 300gig ssd on even ubuntu servers
[05:04] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: really?  I wanted to add sas drives... just too expensive :(
[05:05] <ferni> lotuspsychje: I dont think its ubuntu related that a drive fails
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> ferni:most important is the brand..
[05:05] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: What JoeBlowBestSSD's aren't a good choice to use?
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> ferni:but ubuntu runs faster on ssd then windows
[05:05] <ferni> oldskool_: yeas, just copy the file to new location, where the new storage pool is
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> !ot | oldskool_
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:or aks in ##hardware for best ssd for the moment
[05:06] <rkhshm> blackshirt: is there a place where i can browse the codes? (Like opengrok) ?
[05:07] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: You just sicked your bots on me!
[05:07] <somsip> rkhshm: download the source for the kernel you want to
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:this is an ubuntu support channel mate....
[05:07] <somsip> rkhshm: what to browse
[05:07] <somsip> *want...grrr
[05:07] <blackshirt> rkhshm: yes, but I'm forget
[05:07] <ferni> lotuspsychje: yes seems that some brands are not so good.. havent really tested speed on ubuntu vs win.. but with ssd ubuntu is really fast, i was like wow
[05:07] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: *mumbling under breath*.... fine! I didn't wanna talk here anyhow *hairflip*
[05:08] <oldskool_> ferni: Like "whoa" dude ;)
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> lets keep ontopic guys
[05:08] <oldskool_> kk
[05:08] <oldskool_> Ubuntu rocks!
[05:09] <oldskool_> How does ubuntu differ from slackware?
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:09] <oldskool_> :)
[05:09] <rkhshm> somsip: i currently have this worry.. My build system is running 3.2.0 now can i clone/build 3.5.4 (provided i have all build tools?). or do i need to keep updating to maintain a 1:1 relation with the kernel i'm building and the kernel on my build system?
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> !poll | oldskool_
[05:10] <paulus68_> lotuspsychje: die jeugd van tegenwoordig
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> pm paulus :p
[05:10] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: OMG there is even a static response for that!
[05:10] <WeThePeople> when i boot to ubuntu from dual boot menu the screen flashes and then a gui comes up and says "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself. then i click 'ok' and the screen flickers some more and a gui comes up and says "stand by one minute while display restarts" but doesnt. then i click 'ok' and then i restart
  from there cuz it loads the boot screen and gets stuck there. i can type but i cant pull up a tty. and when the screen flickers i can see 'ntp.conf'
[05:10] <oldskool_> lol
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:theres static for just about anything...you should see the trigger list
[05:10] <WeThePeople> its a Xorg prob\
[05:11] <oldskool_> lotuspsychje: how do I find the trigger list
[05:11] <paulus68_> oldskool_: there is a reply for just about everything
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:i forgot lol
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> !triggers > lotuspsychje
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> not
[05:12] <oldskool_> !triggers > oldschool_
[05:12] <oldskool_> fail
[05:13] <oldskool_> how can you hide your ip other than vpns?
[05:13] <somsip> rkhshm: you need to ask a kernel expert. I'd be guessing
[05:13] <oldskool_> I am so loving this chat client
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> !info macchanger | oldskool_
[05:14] <paulus68_> oldskool_: you can use a proxy or tor
[05:14] <paulus68_> !Tor |oldskool_
[05:14] <oldskool_> when I try to use tor it kicks me off
[05:15] <oldskool_> bans me for using a tor ip
[05:15] <WeThePeople> oldskool_, sudo ifconfig macchanger -r (dev) ie eth0 wlan0
[05:15] <oldskool_> that just changes my nic's mac... how would that hide my ip?
[05:16] <WeThePeople> oldskool, socks5
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:not hide, change ip
[05:17] <oldskool_> I change my wan side ip by changing my router's mac or cloning it whatever they wanna call it ...
[05:17] <oldskool_> that what you guys mean?
[05:17] <WeThePeople> oldskool_, wan??
[05:18] <oldskool_> yeah my wan side ip is what show's here not my lan ip
[05:18] <oldskool_> if I changed my mac addy on my nic on the computer will just change my lan ip
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:like WeThePeople says, use socks5 proxies
[05:18] <oldskool_> plus I use static ips
[05:18] <oldskool_> like tor?
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> oldskool_:i think to use macchanger you need dynamic ip
[05:19] <oldskool_> yeah dhcp would only work
[05:19] <WeThePeople> nope
[05:19] <oldskool_> but that is lan side anynow
[05:19] <oldskool_> anyhow
[05:19] <oldskool_> and I didn't want to change my wan ip I can do that when I want... I wanna hide it
[05:20] <oldskool_> without using a vpn
[05:20] <WeThePeople> cabt
[05:20] <WeThePeople> cant
[05:20] <WeThePeople> only change
[05:20] <oldskool_> I wanted to use tor but they keep banning me because its a tor ip...
[05:20] <WeThePeople> oldskool_, whos ban you
[05:20] <oldskool_> freenode
[05:20] <oldskool_> when i connnect via tor
[05:21] <sulaiman> Hi
[05:21] <WeThePeople> oldskool_, why?
[05:21] <tsimpson> !tor-sasl | oldskool_
[05:21] <sulaiman> one of my daily cronjobs failed to run today, where can I find logs for any errors?
[05:21] <paulus68_> oldskool_: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/linux-socks5-proxy/
[05:22] <oldskool_> I think you can use tor but you have to jump through hoops to authenticate yourself if you use a tor exit
[05:23] <oldskool_> tsimpson: See.. thank you very much
[05:25] <paulus68_> oldskool_: if you have an old spare pc you can set it up as server and install a proxy server on it is also an option
[05:26] <oldskool_> I have limited space and would much rather utilize tor
[05:26] <oldskool_> paulus68_: thanks for the advice tho :)
[05:27] <oldskool_> how do I reg nickserv again its been years since i used irc...
[05:27] <Lasivian> ok, 11.04, and the screen blanks out after awhile like there is a screensaver installed, but I cannot find any hint of screensaver settings, or a running process for one
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> !nickserv | oldskool_
[05:27] <Calinou> why do you even use a screensaver?
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> !register | oldskool_
[05:27] <Calinou> oldskool_: /ns help -- /ns register password email
[05:27] <Lasivian> Calinou: clean install, trying to shut it off
[05:28] <Calinou> screen blanks out when you don't touch your keyboard/mouse for a while, this is intended, if it does for any other reason, then your graphics driver has an issue
[05:29] <Lasivian> Calinou: right, I want it to not do that, but I can;t figure out where that setting is hiding :)
[05:29] <shantorn> Lasivian, look under brightness and lock under preferances
[05:29] <wilee-nilee> oldskool_, People do use tor you just have to look for the instructions on doing it. You can join freenode and get a free mask after a short period if needed.
[05:29] <Calinou> shantorn: remember, he's on 11.04, highly likely he's on gnome 2 :P
[05:30] <shantorn> still might be under settings
[05:30] <shantorn> but ok hadnt considered that
[05:30] <shantorn> thanks for the pointer
[05:30] <wilee-nilee> oldskool_,If you donate to freenode you can get a mask immediatly pretty much.
[05:30] <Calinou> or ask in #freenode
[05:30] <Calinou> it works the same way, no need to "support" them
[05:30] <Lasivian> shantorn: ahh, brightness, would not have thought of that, thanks
[05:30] <Calinou> :>
[05:31] <Calinou> Lasivian: energy management usually goes with brightness and screen locking :)
[05:31] <Lasivian> yeah, makes sense, NOW! lol
[05:33] <patrickod> I'm having serious audio skipping issues with PulseAudio on 12.04 with Intel Hardware
[05:33] <patrickod> I've had no luck tracking down a solution
[05:33] <patrickod> are there any known fixes ?
[05:33] <Calinou> patrickod: what software are you using when it happens?
[05:33] <Calinou> the default audio server is ALSA, remember...
[05:34] <wilee-nilee> patrickod, Have you tried making another account and seeing if this is replicated or using a live cd, this is an upgrade right?
[05:35] <patrickod> Calinou, it's not software dependent, anything from chrome, rythmbox, VLC and Spotify suffer from this
[05:35] <patrickod> wilee-nilee, this is a fresh install of 12.04
[05:35] <patrickod> about a month old
[05:35] <patrickod> fully updated
[05:35] <wilee-nilee> patrickod, Has it always done this or after trying to tweak the setup?
[05:35] <patrickod> wilee-nilee, it has always done this
[05:35] <HardKoreMofo> hey
[05:35] <jas> hi
[05:36] <jas> I have a problem regrading installation in ubuntu 12.04
[05:36] <patrickod> wilee-nilee, it's a on-board soundcard. nothing fancy in terms of hardware
[05:36] <jas> I am getting an error
[05:36] <cfhowlett> jas: what error?
[05:36] <Calinou> patrickod: file format has been known to cause issues sometimes, so software could be relevant
[05:36] <jas> E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/linux.dropbox.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_i18n_Index (1)
[05:36] <jas> plz help me
[05:36] <cfhowlett> jas:  did you md5sum check?
[05:36] <patrickod> Calinou, I've tried with multiple different types of media and all have this issue
[05:37] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|jas:
[05:37] <Shazer[2]> I'm having a problem installing teamviewer.
[05:37] <Calinou> jas: so you're trying to install dropbox? maybe there is no precise package
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> patrickod, I'm just checking the obvious things, I would check if this happens in the two ways I asked a new account which can be removed and a live cd.
[05:37] <jas> Now how  to solve the problem?
[05:37] <Shazer[2]> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1229788/
[05:38] <Shazer[2]> This is my problem that I am having, can I get any assistance?
[05:38] <cfhowlett> jas: first: did you md5sum check to ensure a good iso?
[05:38] <sulaiman> how can I view log files through command line?
[05:38] <jas> what is this?md5sum
[05:38] <HardKoreMofo> what channels do all the hot geek girls hang out in?
[05:38] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|jas:
[05:38] <Calinou> HardKoreMofo: not here, try #freenode
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> lol
[05:39] <somsip> Shazer[2]: "sudo apt-get install -f" might do the trick
[05:39] <HardKoreMofo> Calinou: Any excuse to get ride of me huh? :P
[05:39] <shantorn> Shazer[2], it looks like you have some dependancy issues
[05:39] <Calinou> HardKoreMofo: yes

[05:39] <jas> yea
[05:39] <HardKoreMofo> Calinou: LMFAO
[05:39] <shantorn> you will have to install those packaes in software manager then retry teamviewer

[05:45] <jas> ?
[05:46] <jas> I am using ubunru 12.04
[05:46] <jiltdil> Which filesystem to create swap?
[05:46] <ishaq_> thanks ubottu, i'll try that
[05:46] <Calinou> linux-swap, jiltdil
[05:46] <Calinou> isn't that obvious?
, thanks, i'll check that..
[05:47] <Calinou> wilee-nilee: /me facepalms
[05:47] <jiltdil> Calinou,  ans is there any way to use raw partition as swap?
[05:47] <Calinou> better torrent then!
[05:47] <Calinou> jiltdil: yes; select it and format as linux-swap
[05:47] <wilee-nilee> Calinou, I'm not sure your refrence but good for you.
[05:47] <jiltdil> Calinou, I mean to say that without formating is there any way
[05:47] <aneek> my ubuntu is running slow , it takes long time for showing desktop screen
[05:48] <aneek> can any one help me for this
[05:48] <tsimpson> jiltdil: it needs to be marked as swap, it's not really formatted, just marked
[05:48] <Calinou> jiltdil: not really; you might use a swap file too
[05:48] <excervo> hello guys, what's the best ubuntu software for downloading youtube videos? I use miro but it sucks
[05:48] <Calinou> remember, nothing forces you to have a swap
[05:48] <jiltdil> tsimpson, Calinou  can ext type can be swap?
[05:49] <aneek> any-one can help me for the issue "ubuntu slow working "
[05:49] <Calinou> jiltdil: using a swap file which you can create later, yes
[05:49] <xangua> !anyone | aneek
[05:49] <Calinou> aneek: what is your graphics card? try using unity 2D instead of unity
[05:49] <tsimpson> jiltdil: you can't have swap and ext, but you can create a file (on ext) and use it as swap with the mkswap command
[05:50] <aneek> intel calinou

[05:55] <aneek> how to run ubuntu fast friends !
[05:55] <jas> please help me
[05:56] <cfhowlett> jas what is your native language?
[05:56] <wilee-nilee> crackerjackz, YOu might check the md5sum if nomodeset does not get you in, or a alternative cd to install if needed.
[05:56] <jas> punjabi
[05:56] <jas> :)
[05:56] <jas> english

[05:59] <aneek> ok
[06:01] <crackerjackz> wilee-nilee, its attempting to boot with nomodeset now, i have a feeling it's going to do the same thing... it's an older cd though ubuntu 10.10 - could that be it? should i try 12.04? i only have one blank cd though wilee-nilee
[06:01] <wilee-nilee> crackerjackz, Well 10.10 is end of life not worth using, try a 12.04
[06:02] <aneek> thanks somsip ,
[06:03] <aneek> but any one can give me remote help via teamviewer
[06:05] <Calinou> crackerjackz: more recent versions have better drivers
[06:05] <Calinou> quit being a gnome 2 fanboy (remember, 11.04 has gnome 2 too)
[06:05] <Calinou> don't want unity? use lubuntu or xubuntu
[06:05] <Calinou> these are pretty much good alternatives to gnome 2
[06:06] <kundan> reason for fsck linux-utils 2.me19.1 during boot ti
[06:06] <rkhshm> does bugzilla not report all open bugs in a particular module ?
[06:06] <rkhshm> For example i want to see if there are any filesystem bugs
[06:07] <rkhshm> how do i search for it?
[06:07] <rkhshm> bugzilla asks me to enter the "words" field at any cost..
[06:07] <crackerjackz> Calinou, what is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu?
[06:07] <kundan> how to see file system bug
[06:07] <rkhshm> kundan: what?
[06:08] <dgx> hey guys, has someone tried ubuntu as an win app? i guess there aren't any risks to the winOS?
[06:08] <kundan> @rkshm i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during boot time
[06:08] <cfhowlett> dgx: you mean wubi?
[06:09] <crackerjackz> dgx, you mean running ubuntu in a virtual machine on windows?
[06:09] <dgx> no, without VM
[06:09] <dgx> using the 2nd option: install as windows application(inside windows)
[06:09] <crackerjackz> dgx, well you can partition the hard drive and install both linux and windows - but you can only boot into one or the other
[06:09] <cfhowlett> dgx: that is wubi.
[06:09] <crackerjackz> dgx, wubi
[06:09] <dgx> oh i see
[06:10] <dgx> so, using this method, does it hold any risks for windows, because im in the office, can't take chances :)
[06:10] <crackerjackz> dgx, personally i'd just install the live cd - i ran into some problems with wubi
[06:10] <dgx> the other option ofcourse is to use VM
[06:10] <cfhowlett> dgx: for the record, wubi is for testing ubuntu...not a permanent installation solution.  so sayeth wubi developers
[06:10] <cfhowlett> dgx: for zero risk, make an ubuntu usb stick/cd and boot that or use virtualbox
[06:10] <crackerjackz> so what are the biggest differences between ubuntu and lubuntu?
[06:11] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz: desktop managers are different.  ubuntu is ubuntu.
[06:11] <dgx> i will go with the VM case, because im a dev and need to safe files, thanks
[06:11] <crackerjackz> cfhowlett, i see, so the only difference is the D.E?
[06:11] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz: some of the default packages are different as well.
[06:11] <somsip> crackerjackz: ubuntu uses unity by default, lubuntu uses LXDE
[06:11] <wilee-nilee> crackerjackz, lubuntu is a lighter desktop.
[06:11] <kundan> does anyone will tell me why i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during booting the systwm
[06:12] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz: as somsip correctly stated, lubuntu, like xubuntu, is a "lightweight" distro requiring fewer system resources.  Perfect for older and lower spec machines.
[06:13] <crackerjackz> cfhowlett, somsip wilee-nilee  i only have one cd though - i wanna make sure what ever i use works with this ati radeon x850 graphics card
[06:13] <crackerjackz> only have one blank cd*
[06:13] <tyfaust> I am looking for Linux music playing software that can play mp3s from a user defined selection. The selection will be individual folders or mp3s assigned numerical values that go into a pool for a random generator to pick from. Where-ever the random generator picks it plays that song or a random song from that folder. Example: song1.mp3 is assigned value 100, song2.mp3 is assigned value 500,...
[06:13] <tyfaust> ...folder1 is assigned value 400; this would give a 10% change of playing song1.mp3, 50% change of playing song2.mp3, and 40% change of playing something from folder1. Is there any Linux music software that currently exists that can play songs using this random-user-defined method?
[06:13] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz: so boot the live cd and test it.
[06:14] <crackerjackz> cfhowlett, no i mean.. i only have 1 blank cd - i wanna make sure the distro i pick is compatible with my hardware
[06:14] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz:  ever consider the usb boot option?
[06:15] <kundan> does anyone will tell me why i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during booting the system
[06:15] <crackerjackz> lubuntu sounds enticing seeing as how it only has an intel pentium 4 and 768 mb of RAM - i'm not too sure it'll boot from USB, it's old...
[06:15] <crackerjackz> @ cfhowlett
[06:15] <wilee-nilee> crackerjackz, This wiki claims that card works.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Unsupported
[06:16] <JamezQ> I woulden't try to run ubuntu on something that old, crackerjackz
[06:16] <crackerjackz> wilee-nilee, ty
[06:16] <cfhowlett> crackerjackz: yep.  you can install lubuntu and then install XFCE (or vice versa) and select the alternate desktop environment at login
[06:16] <xangua> crackerjackz: lubuntu is amied for low resources... doesn't mean you can not use it with certain hardware
[06:16] <JamezQ> So Lubuntu and xubuntu might give a much better experiance.
[06:17] <timfrost> kundan: that message indicates that an automatic file system check, and that the fsck version is from  linux-utils 2.19.1
[06:18] <kundan> timfrost: booting is taking a lot of time and screen blinks during the boot time
[06:19] <crackerjackz> xangua, so you think lubuntu is my safest bet?
[06:21] <timfrost> kundan: if you haven't had a crash, you *might* be OK to cancel the file system check (automatic checks happen  based on time or number of mounts), but it is usually wisest to let them run
[06:22] <kundan> timfrost: then it show  /dev/sda7 :clean  269959/269632 file 1596769/10499840 block
[06:23] <timfrost> kundan: that indicates successful completion of the check of that filesystem with no errors.  You get one for each file system
[06:24] <kundan> timfrost: ya i am getting for each file system
[06:25] <kundan> timfrost: but why the screen blinks during the boot
 dgx, well you can partition the hard drive and install both linux and windows - but you can only boot into one or the other
[06:26] <Calinou> not advisable on UEFI
[06:26] <dgx> UEFI?
 I woulden't try to run ubuntu on something that old, crackerjackz
[06:27] <Calinou> have fun running debian and complaining about firmware then
[06:27] <Calinou> dgx: unified extensible firmware interface, something invented by m$ for more vendor locks
[06:28] <dgx> aha
[06:28] <timfrost> kundan: blinks could be video-related.  You might get better answers about that if you tell us which ubuntu release and video card details
[06:28] <dgx> VM for the win then :)
[06:28] <crackerjackz> Calinou, so you're saying don't run lubuntu on something that old? intel pentium 4, 768 mb ddr ram
[06:30] <Calinou> crackerjackz: should work
[06:30] <Calinou> dgx: it can be quite slow, and you're still running windows anyway
[06:30] <bzb> how do i setup ubuntu to run fsck after reboot automatically
[06:30] <Calinou> why would you do that?
[06:30] <Calinou> it does that every 25 boots
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>               ------
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>                        ( Ubuntu Rocks!)
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>            ~gnuu.    O  ------
[06:31] <xangua> crackerjackz: lubuntu will do fine, so will xubuntu; you can also use regular Ubuntu as you get the minimal resource requirements
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>           uGNUGNu   o
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>          @g~nu~~gNu
[06:31] <bzb> calinou: how do i get it to invoke fsck after a reboot?
[06:31] <FloodBot1> ArchyArcibolt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:31] <ArchyArcibolt>          G/@||@) N|
[06:31] <crackerjackz> xangua, i see i see said the blind man. thank you
[06:31] <dgx> Calinou: 4gb ram, and celeron 3400 2.60 x2 cpu should be okay :?
[06:32] <kundan> timfrost: I am using ubuntu 11.10 and vga is Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller  another vga is AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series
[06:32] <bzb> calinou: i need to run fsck because my system just suffered a crash and i want to make sure my disks are ok
[06:33] <cfhowlett> dgx: try it.  xubuntu or lubuntu are meant for machines like yours.
[06:33] <Surlent777> hi; I seem to be suffering from a very strange bug in that on my desktop I seem to have all the Oxygen packages installed, and yet Oxygen isn't listed as a selectable widget set in KDE's systemsettings. Same thing for QtCurve. Any idea what might be wrong?
[06:34] <JamezQ> bzb: it seems you can force a fsck on the next reboot using "sudo touch /forcefsck", then rebooting.
[06:35] <JamezQ> Source: http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/it-tips/gnu-linux/ubuntu-disk-stuff
[06:36] <Calinou> dgx: yes
[06:37] <e66> in ubuntu how do I know how a package is configured (the ./configure line) ?
[06:37] <Calinou> cfhowlett: both work just fine on recent computers, people tend to forget that
[06:37] <bzb> jamezQ: thanks. i'll give it a try
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> !make | e66
[06:37] <Calinou> e66: not everything uses ./configure
[06:37] <Calinou> pre-build outdated packages first* FTFY
[06:38] <e66> lotuspsychje: I know how to make.
[06:38] <cfhowlett> Calinou: noted.
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> e66:the url shows the configure line aswell
[06:40] <e66> Calinou: what do you mean by "pre-built outdated packages first* FTFY" ?
[06:41] <JamezQ> He is implying that packages in the pre-build repo's are out of date
[06:41] <write> hey, does anybody know how to help me in configuring my AMD, Radeon 6290 driver in ubuntu? I have an Asus 1015bx netbook, and i feel it is not properly installed or something, since even movies in VLC tend to get laggy when there is more action
[06:41] <e66> I have a package "example". I can install it by apt-get install example. I want to know how this "example" package is configured. It has a configure file when I download usig "apt-get source example"
[06:42] <somsip> e66: it's got some sort of package wrapper that explains to apt-get how to install it
[06:43] <somsip> e66: this is possibly more than you wanted to know, but the details wil be in here somewhere https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[06:43] <e66> Thanks for the link
[06:43] <JamezQ> Well, here is something e66: apt-cache show <package name>
[06:44] <JamezQ> Sadly I don't see things like ./configure flags, but it's something along your ally
[06:44] <somsip> JamezQ: ooo - good one
[06:45] <kundan> timfrost:??
[06:45] <e66> JamezQ: no configure there!!
[06:46] <e66> it has a dependency list
[06:46] <JamezQ> e66: Yea, I know :/ I am looking for one that will show flags
[06:46] <Surlent777> this is insane. Oxygen and QtCurve seem to be configured and placed identically to the themes that DO show up, like CDE and Skulpture
[06:48] <write> !patience
[06:48] <Calinou> e66: because 99% of the time, reason of compiling is outdated packages :P
[06:49] <timfrost> kundan: I can't help, as my system is 12.04 with nVidia graphics
[06:49] <JamezQ> Sorry e66, It doesn't seem there is a simple apt-cache or dkpg tool to show ./configure options used when building. However You can get the source of it and look in debian/rules, and that will show the commands used to generate the package.
[06:49] <JamezQ> Including any flags used for compiling and ./configure options
[06:49] <e66> Some people also configure for optimization
[06:49] <JamezQ> more info at :http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageConfiguration
[06:50] <e66> Calinou:  Some people also configure for optimization
[06:50] <JamezQ> Maybe you can make a script to automatically pull the info from a package, but I didn't see one
[06:50] <e66> JamezQ:  I am currently reading debian/rules file
[06:51] <e66> It has some rules called common config. But I am not sure what else will be patched with it.
[06:52] <kundan> timfrost: thanks for ur help
[06:52] <chamunks> is it possible to batch remove .fileext from a group of files?
[06:53] <Surlent777> mv *.txt * perhaps?
[06:54] <_buki_> hi
[06:54] <geirha> chamunks: for file in ./*.ext; do mv -i "$file" "${file%.*}"; done
[06:54] <chamunks> Surlent777, hmm
[06:54] <somsip> chamunks: you need something like find . -type f -name *.fileext -exec rm {} \;, but DOUBLE CHECK THAT
[06:54] <cfhowlett> _buki_: greetings
[06:55] <geirha> chamunks: Oh, remove the file or the filename extension?
[06:55] <chamunks> geirha, that looks about right
[06:55] <somsip> chamunks: ah - I misunderstood...
[06:55] <chamunks> I have a series of files that were "Loaded" into a program at one point and during that process it added *.Loaded after the actual fileext
[06:56] <chamunks> I want to remove .loaded from those files its like 400+
[06:56] <chamunks> doing that manually would be a pain.
[06:56] <JamezQ> well e66, that's as far as I can help. Ubuntu isn't really a super compile to max optimize distro, so packages for it will be compiled with support for as much possible to work with everyone. I doubt it will be that interesting.
[06:58] <chamunks> geirha, ^
[06:59] <rabbi1> how can i change the background color of calendar popup in 12.04 (gnome 3)
[06:59] <geirha> chamunks: If they're all in the same dir, then that for-loop should work after replacing .ext with .Loaded
[07:00] <chamunks> geirha, ok awesome now to get my nas back online so that I can perform that operation.
[07:00] <Surlent777> just tested it and mine; my idea is a dud, but geirha's thing works perfectly
[07:02] <timfrost> geirha: will that work if a file has more than one '.' char?  I use the basename command to get the new filename, so using chamunks '.Loaded' : for f in *.Loaded;do  ff=`basename "$f" .Loaded`;  mv "$f" "$ff";done
[07:03] <Surlent777> the one he gave worked on test files I named test.txt.loaded and test2.avi.loaded; I just replaced the .ext part with .loaded and it turned them into test.txt and test2.avi
[07:04] <geirha> timfrost: Yes, ${var%.*} removes the shortest part matching .* from the end. %% gives you a greedy version
[07:04] <JamezQ> I always forget the special ${var%} and ## stuff in bash
[07:04] <geirha> timfrost: One could also write  ${file%.Loaded}
[07:05] <timfrost> geirha: OK.  too much time working in dumb shells
[07:06] <JamezQ> or echo |sed s/\(.*\).Loaded/\1/
[07:06] <JamezQ> :p
[07:06] <geirha> timfrost: All POSIX compliant shells have the % and # PEs.
[07:08] <timfrost> geirha: as I said- too much time programming in the original Bourne shell :(
[07:08] <chamunks> ok i got that working again
[07:08] <geirha> timfrost: Ah, yes. That's painful :/
[07:12] <chamunks> geirha, "for file in ./*.loaded ; do mv -i "$file" "${file%.*}" ; done"  Returns Missing }.
[07:13] <fatpudding> Hey, are there any one that have trouble with xpdf after the latest sys updates ? :)
[07:13] <geirha> chamunks: Sounds like you're not using bash then
[07:14] <chamunks> fair enough I'll mount that share locally somehow and do it on my local box with bash.
[07:14] <JamezQ> well, mine worked without bash...
[07:14] <geirha> chamunks: or any other posix shell for that matter. So possibly you have some c-shell derivate or the bourne shell
[07:16] <chamunks> im ssh'd into a nas4free (freebsd) box from my ubuntu box.
[07:16] <chamunks> it was because i was in su
[07:17] <geirha> chamunks: If I remember correctly, freebsd's default login shell is tcsh. See if it has bash or ash and use that
[07:17] <geirha> or ksh
[07:18] <chamunks> what would the command be for that.
[07:18] <chamunks> it has all of those via the webgui
[07:18] <geirha> chamunks: just run   bash
[07:19] <JamezQ> just $ bash , if it's installed
[07:19] <geirha> chamunks: if the prompt changes, good, you're in bash, and the for-loop should work.
[07:19] <chamunks> beautiful
[07:19] <chamunks> worked flawlessly on the test directory
[07:19] <JamezQ> yay
[07:20] <chamunks> agreed.

[07:41] <Nx0> Hi Ubuntuers!
[07:42] <Nx0> What's up Here?!
[07:42] <JamezQ> Not much
[07:43] <JamezQ> Using ubuntu, having fun. Welcome to the irc.
[07:43] <Nx0> haha
[07:43] <Nx0> Tanks
[07:43] <JamezQ> aha! Another user of "Tanks".
[07:44] <devios_> id be having a lot more fun if my wireless was working :-(
[07:44] <Kartagis> is there a way to apply date settings without logging out/in?
[07:45] <Nx0> sorry, i want said Thanks
[07:45] <JamezQ> Oh, well, I use "Tanks" volentarily.
[07:46] <JamezQ> devios_: What is happening, exactly
[07:46] <Nx0> well... What can do here?
[07:46] <JamezQ> Kartagis: What are you trying to change, for something like timezone, I have never had to logout
[07:46] <JamezQ> Nx0: Mostly people come here to ask questions and help people
[07:46] <devios_> when i try to connect to my wireless network, it looks like it tries to connect, gets connected, and immediately disconnects
[07:46] <JamezQ> Nx0: For general talking, there is of course #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <devios_> dell vostro 1700.  network manager sees my wireless network, but can't seem to get connected. Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02). driving me crazy. would someone please help me resolve?
[07:49] <devios_> http://pastebin.com/H0hT1HfJ - here's what i see in my kern.log when the above happens
[07:49] <JamezQ> Well, this looks like a similar problem to yours, I don't know off the top of my head how to diagnose myself.
[07:49] <JamezQ> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657790
[07:49] <Nx0> Check the wireless adapter
[07:53] <Nx0> because, if your laptop was connected, its work!
[07:55] <llort> why is ubuntu so much worse than debian? why don't you make it better than debian? debian has much less headache and much more awesome.
[08:00] <blackshirt> llort : that's depends
[08:01] <confrey> just installed xubuntu 64bit, I'd use unetbootin, but id doesn't work saying anything in terminal, what's missing?
[08:02] <confrey> hi everybody, excuse me
[08:03] <write> does anyone knows how to handle radeon open source drivers? stufflike this ?
[08:03] <JamezQ> confrey: I did not understand what you said, honestly. Are you saying unetbootin isn't working?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> confrey: if Xubuntu is installed, why do you need unetbootin?
[08:04] <confrey> for testing others
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> confrey: does the system have web access?
[08:05] <devios__> http://pastebin.com/pbEZ9T7f - more on my network woes - network manager sees the wireless network, and when i connect, it seems to authenticate, then disconnect. driving me CRAZY
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> devios__: if you scan for networks, are there lots of SSIDs on the same channel?
[08:06] <confrey> ActionParsnip: what's web access? I'm on internet now
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: web == internet
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install unetbootin     and the application will install
[08:06] <devios__> ActionParsnip: how can i tell if they are on same channel, and if it works in windoze, shouldn't it work in linux (Even if they are all on the same channel?)
[08:06] <confrey> ActionParsnip: of course, I'm on xubuntu now
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: 'of course' what? I assume nothing
[08:07] <confrey> I downloaded it by its site
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> devios__: sudo iwlist scan | egrep  'ESSID|Channel'
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> confrey: you don't need the site. The application is in theofficil repos, so can be installed with apt-get or software centre
[08:08] <JamezQ> oh does iwlist scan do it? I thought you needed iwlist <device> scan
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> devios__: you'll see the SSID and channel, if lots of networks are on the same channel it kills connections
[08:09] <confrey> ActionParsnip: ok and excuse me, I didn't want to be discorteus
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: without the device it will use all network devices available (I haven't been told the name, so I cannot use it)
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> confrey: you weren't :). It's all good
[08:09] <JamezQ> Well, today I learned something new, thanks AP
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: never a bad thing :)
[08:10] <devios__> ActionParsnip: thanks!  there's not a lot of networks on the same channel, but again, i do not have any problems with wireless connectivity when i have vista loaded on this machine - why would it be a problem in linux and not windows?

[08:11] <lodder> I can't seem to be find the issue, any pointers?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> devios__: if you run  sudo lshw -C network      what is the product line and driver for the wireless device (I bet its some centrino garbage)
[08:13] <brophat> i read through about installing ubuntu with the windows installer, but nowhere does it mention about having to resize the windows partition.
[08:14] <brophat> does it just assume you want half and half?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> brophat: depends what the OS is for.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> brophat: for basic use, you'll need about 15Gb-20Gb and be fine
[08:14] <devios__> ActionParsnip: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

[08:15] <ActionParsnip> devios__: what wifi driver module?
[08:15] <foo357> Hello, there are some software I need to install from source, and I am a bist lost at how the different software "know of" eachother.
[08:15] <foo357> bit*
[08:15] <JamezQ> foo357: Do you mean dependencies?
[08:16] <foo357> JamezQ: yes
[08:16] <brophat> ActionParsnip I am talking about installing ubuntu when you are in windows
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> devios__: in the bottom text you will see:  driver=
[08:16] <tsimpson> brophat: the windows installer (wubi) creates a file, inside the windows filesystem, which it uses as a kind of virtual disk. you don't have to partition anything
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> brophat: oh, using wubi?
[08:16] <JamezQ> foo357: The package management system, in ubuntu's case deb. Handles that itself.
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> brophat: wubi uses a file on your NTFS, you don't have to resize NTFS to use wubi
[08:16] <JamezQ> foo357: Basically each .deb file has a list of other packages it requires
[08:16] <devios__> ActionParsnip: driver=iwl3945
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: And so when installing it to your system, the package mangager will find those and install those first
[08:17] <brophat> is that any good?
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: If you are installing from source, you generally need to handle dependencies on your own
[08:17] <brophat> I think I would want ubuntu to have its own partition, but I don't know why
[08:17] <brophat> what do you guys think?
[08:17] <foo357> yes and how do I do that JamezQ
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: But it's not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information about what is missing
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> devios__: run:  echo "'s not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information abo
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> devios__: wait
[08:18] <JamezQ> O.o

[08:19] <njr> hello iam installing kate on ubuntu 11.10 and keep getting the error "The following packages have unmet dependencies: Depends: libkateinterfaces4 (>= 4:4.6.90) but it is not going to be installed"
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> njr: are there any bugs reported?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> njr: are you installing Kate on a Gnome desktop based Ubuntu or are you running Kubuntu?
[08:20] <brophat> ActionParsnip so forget about wubi. If i just want to set up dual boot, then I can first resize the windows partition in windows 7, to say fill on ly half the disk, then use the ubuntu disk to install ubuntu on the other half of the disk?
[08:20] <njr> it just says at the end "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[08:20] <njr> ye
[08:20] <devios__> ActionParsnip: ran both cmds - same behavior when i try to connect
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> brophat: sure, you can resize to free up space and you can then install to the freed space
[08:21] <njr> ActionParsnip yes
[08:21] <brophat> ActionParsnip rock on!
[08:21] <auronandace> !checkinstall | foo357
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> devios__: ok, try: echo "options iwl3945 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf

[08:24] <geirha> brophat: 12.10 comes out year 2012, month 10. It's in the release number
[08:24] <devios__> ActionParsnip: iwl3945: Unknown parameter `11n_disable'
[08:24] <JamezQ> brophat: so, April 25th they think, but it may change
[08:24] <brophat> damn it is jumping from 12.04 right to 13.04?
[08:25] <JamezQ> oh lol nvm
[08:25] <JamezQ> brophat: haha, sorry, that was a mistake
[08:25] <brophat> ok hahaah
[08:25] <JamezQ> brophat: let me get the right article
[08:25] <geirha> !quantal | brophat
[08:26] <njr> ActionParsnip : yes this is just Ubuntu with the gnome desktop not Kubuntu
[08:26] <JamezQ> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/ubuntu-12-10-gets-a-release-date
[08:26] <JamezQ> There you go
[08:26] <JamezQ> October 18th they think
[08:26] <JamezQ> so, pretty darn close
[08:26] <JamezQ> Beta 2 should be out today actually
[08:26] <JamezQ> later today
[08:26] <xiaboyang_> =.=
[08:27] <brophat> if i could get microsoft office 2010 to run on ubuntu I would have no reason to dual boot
[08:27] <JamezQ> brophat: More then likely, Libre Office supports all functions of Microsoft Office you are using
[08:27] <brophat> JamezQ nah, I want to learn excel
[08:28] <brophat> and other stuff to make corporations happy
[08:28] <JamezQ> LibreOffice also has an excel compatible spreadsheet program, however, if you really need *exactly* MS office
[08:28] <brophat> corportations don't want to hear libre hahaha
[08:28] <JamezQ> You can use a VM, dualboot, or install CrossOver
[08:29] <brophat> JamezQ I heard when you do all that stuff micro office still runs like crap
[08:29] <JamezQ> http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7437
[08:29] <amirouche> *still* :)
[08:30] <devios__> man this sucks
[08:30] <JamezQ> Yea, but again, all your knowledge you learn with LO spreadsheets should be applicable on MS excel.
[08:30] <JamezQ> So you can learn and use there, and then make sure it works on excel
[08:30] <JamezQ> then you can know it on both, and say you know excel
[08:30] <brophat> JamezQ corpers want to hear you talk macro
[08:30] <brophat> JamezQ corpers want to hear you talkin VB macros
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> njr: seems wierd to want to install all the deps for kate, just for a text editor is all.
[08:31] <Sarawara> #ubuntu-nl
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios__: gah, then delete the file you made, I suggest yuo switch wireless channels
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios__: could also try disabling ipv6 too with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios: ^
[08:33] <brophat> what should I use to install ubuntu once i got my windows installed and repartitioned. Live CD?
[08:33] <JamezQ> brophat: Yes.
[08:34] <devios> ActionParsnip: just changed channel
[08:34] <devios> ActionParsnip: same nonsense
[08:34] <geirha> brophat: Leave unpartitioned space on your harddrive and the Ubuntu installer will add the partitions it needs there
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> devios: tried the ipv6 disable?
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> devios: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[08:35] <brophat> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop you go there and it does not download Live CD
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> !download
[08:35] <brophat> it downloads something else
[08:35] <devios> ActionParsnip: Squeeze
[08:36] <geirha> brophat: the desktop cd is a live cd
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: debian isn't supported here
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: ask in #debian
[08:36] <brophat> hmm ok. why does it recommend 32 bit/
[08:36] <devios> ActionParsnip: i didn't see what you said about ipv6
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: ask in #debian
[08:36] <JamezQ> brophat: Because most applications are still written for 32 bit in mind
[08:36] <brophat> is the 64 bit ubuntu buggy?
[08:36] <brophat> ok
[08:36] <JamezQ> brophat: No, it's not.
[08:37] <JamezQ> brophat: In fact, I suggest 64, I think they will change that text soon.
[08:37] <JamezQ> brophat: Since they have finished all the muti-arch stuff,
[08:37] <brophat> they way they say it they make it sound like the 64 bit version is still in beta or something
[08:37] <devios> ActionParsnip: thx anyway, i guess
[08:37] <Azzle-Dazzle> is there a way of making a particular application run a script / command at every start ?
[08:37] <JamezQ> No, it's just the safest possible, that used to be more true. Some app's broke with 64
[08:38] <JamezQ> But nowadays, more people use 64 bit then 32
[08:38] <JamezQ> So you are safe
[08:38] <brophat> ok they should clarify that
[08:38] <brophat> they should say why they recommend 32 bit
[08:38] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: Yes, there are many ways. Do you want them to start a login? Or at bootup? or periodically
[08:39] <brophat> to me it sounds like they are saying that their 64 bit version sucks
[08:39] <JamezQ> The ways to do this are : Startup applications settings, init scripts, or cron jobs.
[08:40] <Azzle-Dazzle> well JamezQ the thing is: PS3 Media server errors everytime I start it, The only fix I know of is to run this via terminal: mount -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev -t tmpfs tmp /tmp    So, I would like to make PS3 media server automatically run that command every time i start it up
[08:40] <JamezQ> brophat: No, they are pretty much exactly the same. 64 is a big faster and in general applications for it are slightly larger
[08:40] <brophat> JamezQ and 64 bit can use all of my 6 gigs of ram
[08:41] <JamezQ> brophat: 32 can actually do that aswell
[08:41] <JamezQ> brophat: Using something called a PAE kernel
[08:41] <brophat> ok well with 64 bit I don't need that hahaha
[08:41] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: That sounds like something you may be able to fix instead of hacking it to make it work.
[08:42] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: What does your /etc/fstab look like?
[08:42] <Azzle-Dazzle> JamezQ I Have tried everything to fix this issue, Ive spent countless hours and I just dont know how to fix it lol
[08:42] <Azzle-Dazzle> erm gimme 1 sec ill have a look
[08:42] <JamezQ> pastebin when you do post it
[08:43] <Azzle-Dazzle> http://pastebin.com/gRe84UBS Here you go !
[08:45] <hpj_> i'm encountering a weired problem: even though i've enabled the root account, and can in fact log in as root via ssh, "su -" still gets me "authentication failure"
[08:45] <JamezQ> okay, why not replace your /tmp line with: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
[08:46] <hpj_> this is 12.04 on a vps, i'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the os template?
[08:46] <JamezQ> Since that is your effective switch, having those settings at the start should make that work at the start
[08:46] <JamezQ> so, try it
[08:46] <Azzle-Dazzle> Ok I will give that a try now JamezQ
[08:46] <JamezQ> kk
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: there is no root password. Run:  sudo -i   instead and use your own password
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: nothing wrong at all
[08:48] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: there *is* a root password since i've set one
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: once you are done, run:  exit   and you will be user again
[08:48] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: check your permissions. My tmpfs is mounted as defaults,mode=1777,size=2g
[08:48] <hpj_> as i've said, i *can* log in using root via ssh
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: doesn't SSH block root logins, setting one is not advised or needed
[08:49] <hpj_> i know all that
[08:49] <hpj_> i normally disable root login via ssh
[08:49] <BenHur> hi, i use ubuntu 10.04. xsane does not recognize my scanner, but in ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04 it does. How can i get the xsane from ubuntu 12.04?
[08:49] <hpj_> but because i'm having this problem, i've enabled it temporarily, just for testing
[08:49] <Azzle-Dazzle> Ive no idea how to do that somsip, But I think JamezQ has solved my issue :) It hasnt errored when I opened it up !
[08:49] <JamezQ> :D
[08:49] <hpj_> fact is, i *can* log in as root via ssh
[08:50] <Azzle-Dazzle> ill reboot and double check !
[08:50] <hpj_> which means the password is working
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: you can use:  sudo -i   and you will be root.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: i'd check /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[08:50] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: well, you'd edit the /etc/fstab and replace defaults,noexec,nosuid on the tmpfs line with what I pasted, but no matter if you're fixed
[08:50] <hpj_> i want to know why su doesn't work
[08:50] <excervo> hello guys how can i secure my ubuntu from ettercap?
[08:50] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: once again, it has nothing to do with sshd_config
[08:51] <hpj_> i know this seems to be the common problem with su that all ubuntu newbees have
[08:51] <hpj_> but my case is different
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: do you actually get connected via ssh, but then cannot su to root? Is that the issue?
[08:51] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: though not necessarily with the same 'size' param...anyway
[08:51] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: ok, let me explain again:
[08:52] <hpj_> i *can* do this: connect via ssh, login as root, and do stuff as root
[08:53] <hpj_> as the very same time, ii *cannot* do this: connect via ssh, login as a regular user, then execute "su -"
[08:53] <puzzleled> I'm puzzled by the U.S. Presidential Elections
[08:53] <JamezQ> hpj_ and you want to not be able to ssh as root?
[08:53] <puzzleled> The USA touts itself as a shining beacon of democracy
[08:53] <hpj_> i want to be able to do "su -"
[08:53] <rudivs> is Catalyst Control Center (amdcccle) installed by default on 12.04?
[08:54] <puzzleled> But Why are the US traditional media not covering Presidential Candidates Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Virgil Goode and Rocky Anderson?
[08:54] <somsip> !ot | puzzleled
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: tried:  su root
[08:54] <hpj_> the ssh thing i've got under control, i know how to activate and deactivate root login via ssh, and i know when to deactivate it (always, unless i'm testing some login problem, which is now)
[08:54] <puzzleled> Why are the US traditional media acting like they are censoring some Presidential Candidates?
[08:54] <gordonjcp> hpj_: yeah, you shouldn't let people log in as root ;-)
[08:54] <gordonjcp> not even yourself
[08:55] <puzzleled> I'm very puzzled by that since the USA touts itself as a shining beacon of democracy
[08:55] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: yeah, that gets me the same "authentication failure"
[08:55] <gordonjcp> !ot | puzzleled
[08:55] <Azzle-Dazzle> Full reboot and it worked !! You would not believe the amount of time I have spent trying to fix this, All it took was one simple change ! Thanks!
[08:55] <vivid> i was going to say....but somehow...i just knew
[08:55] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: I'm so glad I can help :D
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: try:  sudo -i    as user, is it ok?
[08:55] <jilt007> Is there any way to password protect single usermode in ubuntu instead of using grub   password
[08:55] <hpj_> btw, i've rebooted, too, still not working
[08:55] <gordonjcp> ikonia: or that
[08:55] <JamezQ> hpj_: It's not a good idea to have root enabled especially for ssh, but do as you wish
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: +1
[08:56] <david__> can someone help me with a problem I'm having with mailmerge in libreoffice?
[08:56] <JamezQ> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/ubuntu-tips-how-to-login-using-su-command-su-gives-authentication-failure-error-message/
[08:56] <ikonia> gordonjcp: bored of it now
[08:56] <gry_> david__, if you ask :-)
[08:56] <JamezQ> If you really need it, that gives some info
[08:56] <hpj_> JamezQ: GOD! i don't do it normally, this is *only* for testing because i'm having this problem!!!
[08:56] <jilt007> any idea?
[08:56] <david__> I simply want to filter records in a mailmerge using a date
[08:56] <excervo> hello guys, can some1 help me how to counterfiet hacker on my network?
[08:57] <david__> I can filter records in both Base and Calc using a date but doesn't work in mailnerge
[08:57] <gry_> excervo, more details please?
[08:57] <hpj_> guys, i appreciate all the help, but plz read the stuff i write
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: try:  sudo -i    as user, is it ok?
[08:57] <gry_> david__, mmm try aking in #libreoffice perhaps
[08:57] <JamezQ> hpj_: I did, did the link I gave you help at all?
[08:57] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: no, because user is not in sudoers list
[08:57] <gordonjcp> ikonia: I was going to make an acerbic comment about USians gibbering on about it and not realising that 99% of the planet doesn't care, but this is neither the time nor the place
[08:57] <jilt007> ActionParsnip: Any idea  for my question
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: ahhhh
[08:58] <ikonia> gordonjcp: wise beyond your years
[08:58] <excervo> i'm using ubuntu 12.4 i beleive some1 is sniffing on my system
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> jilt007: not something I've done, could ask in #grub maybe
[08:58] <tsimpson> excervo: why do you believe so?
[08:58] <geirha> hpj_: pam could be preventing it. look at /etc/pam.d/su
[08:58] <jilt007> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[08:59] <hpj_> JamezQ: no, that link (which i've read) is about the common problem that ubuntu disables root login by default
[08:59] <hpj_> in my case, i've taken steps to activate it
[08:59] <ScottHarrison> why?
[08:59] <tsimpson> hpj_: also, look at /var/log/auth.log maybe has something relevant
[09:00] <hpj_> and since i can login via ssh as root, it means the activation of root pw was successful
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: good catch
[09:00] <excervo> some login my YM on another system
[09:00] <hpj_> yeah, i'll take a look at pam
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: also check the permissions on /bin/su
[09:01] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: perm is 755
[09:01] <tsimpson> excervo: what is "YM"?
[09:01] <hpj_> should it 4755?
[09:01] <geirha> hpj_: 4755 is the correct, yes
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: mine is sticky
[09:01] <decci>  I have a linux machine where I want to host ISO repository for Ubuntu, RHEL and Debian so that one can configure client (either of ubuntu, rhel or debian) capable to fetching the package and installing it just like yum or apt-get
[09:01] <excervo> tsimpson Yahoo messenger
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: -rwsr-xr-x
[09:02] <geirha> ActionParsnip: That's not the sticky bit, that's the setuid bit
[09:02] <tsimpson> excervo: I'd suggest you change your yahoo password then
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> geirha: gah, took a guess
[09:02] <rudivs> does anyone know if AMD Catalyst Control Center works with the open source driver? I needed to use it to get my desktop to expand over two monitors, but FGLRX is not enabled in Additional Drivers.
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: check yours is similar
[09:03] <MonkeyDust> decci  what system are you running on that machine, what OS ?
[09:03] <excervo> Thanks tsimpson
[09:03] <tsimpson> excervo: unfortunately, only yahoo would be able to track who the person is that logged into your account, and they aren't very helpful with that kind of thing unless you have a court order
[09:04] <hpj_> YES!
[09:04] <hpj_> chmod 4755 /bin/su did the trick
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: so your image is bad
[09:04] <hpj_> setuid got me again
[09:04] <hpj_> yeah, very
[09:04] <decci> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> decci  server or desktop?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: strange you didn't check that...
[09:05] <hpj_> for instance, sudo was 755 instead of 4755 as well
[09:05] <hpj_> i had to fix that
[09:05] <geirha> hpj_: Perhaps check other commands that need the setuid bit. like /bin/mount and /bin/ping
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: sounds like a right mess
[09:05] <hpj_> also, there is a /etc/vim/vimrc, but its just for show
[09:05] <geirha> Sounds like someone's done a chmod -R
[09:06] <hpj_> the one being used is /usr/share/vim/vimrc
[09:06] <hpj_> that took me some time to find
[09:06] <hpj_> sadly, i can do nothing about it
[09:06] <decci> MonkeyDust: server and desktop both
[09:06] <hpj_> this is the os template my vps provider has
[09:07] <hpj_> and they didn't even have ubuntu before
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> decci  it's either server or desktop, you are r running
[09:07] <hpj_> i was on debian
[09:07] <geirha> hpj_:  /usr/share/vim/vimrc should be a symlink to /etc/vim/vimrc
[09:07] <hpj_> and today i saw they have ubuntu now, so i switched
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> decci  what was your initial question?
[09:07] <hpj_> but obviously their template is crap
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: sounds like it
[09:08] <geirha> hpj_: Yeah, they've broken all links and permission modes by the sound of it
[09:08] <hpj_> i have another vps
[09:08] <hpj_> where i'm also using ubuntu 12.04, for a while now
[09:08] <excervo> tsimpson, any tips on how to secure my ubuntu?
[09:08] <hpj_> and there it works smoothly
[09:09] <hpj_> so i have a good comparison between the two
[09:09] <hpj_> what should work but doesn't
[09:09] <tsimpson> excervo: your ubuntu is secure, however your yahoo account may not be. you should probably change your password regularly, using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols
[09:10] <dgx> can i use lubuntu for developing? more specifically i need just *amp env+symfony+1 browser
[09:11] <tsimpson> dgx: you can use it for whatever you want, it's your system after all
[09:11] <dgx> right, tnx
[09:11] <hpj_> how do i list all files that have the setuid perm?
[09:11] <excervo> tsimpson, thanks but is firewall in ubuntu enable by default?
[09:12] <tsimpson> excervo: there is no firewall by default, but you don't need one by default either. you only want a firewall when you have network services running that you want to restrict
[09:12] <tsimpson> well, I say no firewall by default, there is. it's just not set to do anything by default
[09:13] <tsimpson> excervo: you can see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW for how to configure it if you want, but it's probably not required
[09:14] <excervo> tsimpson, I want to disable ping from my system, How would I do that?
[09:15] <gordonjcp> excervo: you could firewall off ICMP, but that's a bit silly
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: let me websearch
[09:16] <excervo> is ARP can be disable too?
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: http://www.linuxweblog.com/find-setuid-setgid
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: less than 60 seconds to find that....
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=find+setuid+bash     too hard?
[09:17] <Muelli> excervo: echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
[09:18] <excervo> Thanks Muelli
[09:19] <vehicle> Hi, how could I apply language pack for Firefox in 11.04? Apparently the simple installation of firefox locale package is not enough
[09:19] <troulouliou_dev> hi i m using gnome classic and since a recent update a have all my fonts fore colour that switch from white to grey , is there a workaround ofthis
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: you do know Natty is EOL next month?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> troulouliou_dev: does it happen as a new user?
[09:21] <vehicle> Whoops, it's actually 10.04
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> vehicle  instead of struggling with the language pack, better upgrade to 12.04 -- 12.10 will come out in 3 weeks or so
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: thats EOL in April next year :)
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: if you look in the settings in firefox, is the thing you want available?
[09:24] <adoff> hi
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> ActionParsnip, no current one
[09:24] <gordonjcp> I was going to reply to excervo but I guess he's disabled ARP
[09:24] <adoff> what is the most appropiate file system If I need to do many writes in disk? ext3/ext4 o reiserfs ? Thank you
[09:25] <Malacub> can someone heklp me with something?
[09:25] <gordonjcp> !help | Malacub
[09:25] <gordonjcp> adoff: ex4 these days, unless you're on a flash drive
[09:25] <gordonjcp> adoff: *ext44
[09:25] <gordonjcp> argh
[09:25] <gordonjcp> you know what I mean
[09:26] <vehicle> Great, I found the .xpi
[09:26] <JamezQ> adoff: I strongly suggest ext4, since it's the most supported. I have tried using others and often have some trouble.
[09:26] <Malacub> I tried to start ubuntu and instead of automatically logging in like normal it took me to the login page and wont accept my login. I even checked through Recovery console but it says my login doesn't exsist how can I get into my OS?
[09:26] <adoff> gordonjcp: haha thank you. I was reading some benchamarts here http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1203140-BY-BTRFSBUNT08  but I dunno very well how to interpret them.
[09:26] <gordonjcp> adoff: it makes no real difference tbh
[09:27] <JamezQ> adoff: It's actually surprising how close all FS's are to each other in benchmarks, it's likyl you won't notice.
[09:27] <JamezQ> likely*
[09:27] <gordonjcp> adoff: if you are Amazon or Google, you might care
[09:27] <gordonjcp> adoff: Facebook might care
[09:27] <adoff> the thing is I have to parse many files and do many writes on disk so I would like to optimized the time as much as possible
[09:27] <JamezQ> Google uses ext4, and it's good enough for them
[09:27] <adoff> JamezQ: gordonjcp I understand, then I'll use ext4
[09:28] <gordonjcp> adoff: are you working at CERN, capturing petabytes of information per second?
[09:28] <geirha> Malacub: Create a new user from the recovery console, add the user to the admin group, and login with that user until you figure out what happened to the old
[09:28] <gordonjcp> excervo: re disabling ARP, don't do that, it's stupid
[09:28] <gordonjcp> excervo: the best way to disable ARP is to unplug your ethernet cable
[09:29] <geirha> Malacub: adduser newusername  &&  adduser newusername admin
[09:29] <thefroyo> i have problems with the printout option "2 pages on 1" in evince under precise. i have two printers configured: my home printer "Laserjet 2200dn" and my printer at work "Dell 5130cdn Color Laser". my printer at home produces the correct result. using the same settings the dell printer at work  puts 4 pages on one sheet.
[09:29] <WarOfTheNerd> gordonjcp, wouldn't that break the network?
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: disabling ARP?
[09:29] <Malacub> in the console?
[09:29] <adoff> gordonjcp: not at cern. But I need to process thousand of files per minute and we are trying to optimized the time as much as possible. Maybe as you say I don't get win many performance
[09:29] <WarOfTheNerd> gordonjcp, as in filtering all ARP
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: very much so
[09:29] <excervo> Thanks gordon
[09:29] <geirha> Malacub: recovery console, yes
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: yup
[09:29]  * WarOfTheNerd was under the impression even manually setting an address would break without ARP
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: yes
[09:30] <adoff> gordonjcp: JamezQ thank you so much I'll use ext4
[09:30] <JamezQ> adoff: Glad to help
[09:30] <gordonjcp> excervo: only disable ping if you can write a 2000 word dissertation on the merits and disadvantages of blocking ICMP
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: hehe, it can help to disable but its dead handy
[09:32] <gordonjcp> excervo: why do you want to disable ARP, and do you know the implications of doing so?
[09:33] <adoff> JamezQ: gordonjcp maybe I have to read the mounting options of ext4 to improve the performace
[09:33] <JamezQ> adoff: Changing times on edit's would probably help, yea. so, read up.
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: it'll be fine
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: how big are these files you're processing?
[09:34] <JamezQ> adoff: Also, if you can, don't even work in ext4, create a tmpfs and use that
[09:34] <adoff> gordonjcp: the files are small
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: don't worry about it then
[09:34] <JamezQ> adoff: That would be better then any FS you could use
[09:34] <adoff> I have to open many small failes (between 1-15 mg) and writes many logs files
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: get it working first
[09:34] <adoff> ok
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: if it's slow, worry about fixing that later
[09:35] <Ramtron> is sending error reports actually helpful?
[09:35] <adoff> I understand
[09:35] <adoff> thank you :)
[09:35] <JamezQ> Ramtron: In Windows, no. In Ubuntu, yes actually, a lot
[09:35] <Ramtron> how so?
[09:35] <excervo> gordonjcp, sorry can you explain what will happen if I disable ARP?
[09:36] <JamezQ> Ramtron: Maybe the error happens with your specific hardware software combination,
[09:36] <gordonjcp> excervo: do you know what ARP does?
[09:36] <thom_> greetings
[09:36] <JamezQ> Maybe no one else has submitted for that specific one
[09:36] <JamezQ> and that may help fix a bug
[09:37] <excervo> gordonjcp, Ive no idea
[09:37] <Ramtron> i se well thats really cool then, is it because its such a small community?
[09:37] <subdesign> hi, how to add ttf font to ubuntu that wined Photoshop can use?
[09:37] <JamezQ> Ramtron: It's not that small :), but even it's not just you, you sending the report helps them prioritize bugs.
[09:37] <gordonjcp> excervo: I suggest you read up on it
[09:38] <JamezQ> Ramtron: Of course, a dedicated bug report with comments is best, but the community really does look at these things
[09:38] <gordonjcp> excervo: it's used by the network stack to identify individual machines
[09:38] <gordonjcp> excervo: if your PC doesn't respond to ARP, there's no way to identify it
[09:38] <Ramtron> kinda makes me like using ubuntu even more. especially since its free. windows sucks
[09:39] <thom_> anybody good with samba? after updates my NAS that's been running for years now painfully slow. 100-150kb/s slow. it's a gigabit lan.
[09:39] <excervo> gordonjcp, thanks for the brief explanation does this mean if i disable arp i will loose my connection?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> thom_: play with the socket options in smb.conf
[09:39] <gordonjcp> excervo: not immediately, but weird stuff will happen
[09:40] <excervo> gordonjcp, thanks
[09:40] <gordonjcp> excervo: like, you'll be able to ping one machine but not another
[09:40] <gordonjcp> some internet connections will work but not others, with no real pattern
[09:40] <a_b0y> hello
[09:41] <Ramtron> anyone here can send the password to "Uh"?
[09:41] <a_b0y> how do i set sudo access when moving files on the gui?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: gksudo nautilus $HOME    and you can move what you wish
[09:42] <thom_> ActionParsnip: cool i'll look into it. the smb.conf hasn't changed since yesterday when i was getting 30MB/s, i dunno what's changed
[09:42] <thom_> thanks a million
[09:43] <Kian_> methamphetamin
[09:43] <a_b0y> ActionParsnip, what command would i need to use if i am using lUbuntu?
[09:43] <myhero> when will be Ubuntu 12.10 final coming out ??
[09:43] <somsip> myhero: 18th Oct I believe
[09:43] <gordonjcp> myhero: october some time
[09:43] <myhero> yes
[09:44] <myhero> what will be changes from current version or v12.04 ??
[09:44] <somsip> !+1 | myhero
[09:44] <somsip> !12.10 | myhero
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: gksudo pcmanfm
[09:44] <a_b0y> k thanks, and how would i turn it off when i am done?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: just close pcmanfm
[09:45] <fidel> myhero: the name itself gives the release month already ...a x.04 release = april && a xx.10 release -> october
[09:45] <myhero> how to install firefox 15.0.1 on ubuntu 12.04....i have download the tarball from mozilla.....
[09:45] <a_b0y> ok
[09:45] <fidel> a_b0y: close that nautilus window
[09:46] <MonkeyDust> myhero  15 is in the repos
[09:46] <a_b0y> it worked thanks
[09:46] <myhero> fidel: i know....but was asking for psecific date.....coz i m thinking of upgradinf from 12.04 to 12.04.1.......and if there is not much time left then i will wait for 12.10..!!!
[09:46] <fidel> myhero: if you keep your 12.04 install uptodate is is already 12.04.1
[09:47] <somsip> myhero: I gave you the date
[09:47] <MonkeyDust> myhero  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?
[09:47] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i have 12.04 not 12.04.1.....it is already installed and no update is being showed in software center.....
[09:48] <myhero> somsip: yea...thnx
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: if you just run the file manager, it runs as your user, you need gksudo to make it run as root and you can do as you wish
[09:48] <MonkeyDust> myhero  paste the outcome here, yo be sure
[09:48] <tsimpson> myhero: 12.04.1 is just a new ISO with updated packages, if you keep you system updated normally, you have it already
[09:49] <myhero> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:49] <tsimpson> myhero: you'll need to keep updated to upgrade to 12.10 anyway
[09:50] <han_> :D
[09:50] <MonkeyDust> myhero  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1
[09:50] <han_> #joint apache
[09:50] <geirha> myhero: then either you haven't updated in a while or the archive mirror you're using is out of sync
[09:50] <myhero> i don't have a high speed or unlimited connection....so i don't update anything.......all i do is download their packages and install and uninstall when needed........in few months or when i setup new system.....
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> han_: try  /join #apache
[09:50] <myhero> yes its outdated
[09:50] <han_> joint #apache
[09:50] <myhero> and old
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> myhero: could install with minimal overnight then :)
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> han_: join  not joint
[09:51] <han_> how to joint another channel ?
[09:51] <han_> thanks
[09:51] <myhero> ActionParsnip: yes
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: /join #apache     like I said earlier
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> han_  type /join #some_channel
[09:51] <han_> join  #apache
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> myhero: uses less data
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: you missed the /
[09:51] <han_> =.=
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> han_  with the /
[09:51] <han_> hihi
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: ALL irc commands are prefixd with a slash
[09:52] <han_> thanks
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> han_: the command (without the quotes) is:    "/join #apache"
[09:52] <myhero> i have already downloaded the 15.0.1 package from mozilla.....now how to set it up......its not deb but source.....
[09:52] <thefroyo> sorry for being pushy, but noone has an idea what is going wrong with my 2 page on 1 printing problem mentioned above?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there is a ppa for firefox versions
[09:53] <han_> action
[09:53] <tsimpson> myhero: you will need a lot of other packages installed to compile firefox from source, you're better off just updating
[09:53] <han_> why i cant send messages
[09:53] <han_> in #httpd
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> myhero: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[09:53] <myhero> ActionParsnip: ok....but currently i have source in my hand....sould u help with it ??
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> han_: ask in #freenode
[09:53] <fidel> han_: some channels force you to be authed
[09:53] <myhero> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:53] <han_> ohm
[09:53] <fidel> han_: anyways - this channel is focusing on ubuntu-help - not offering irc/freenode help ;)
[09:53] <han_> thanks
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you will need to download the compiler which is a tonne more data than the PPA method, the PPA is also easier to use
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> myhero  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1
[09:54] <han_> :D
[09:54] <han_> sorry
[09:54] <myhero> tsimpson: really ?? or u r just scaring me ??
[09:54] <myhero> MonkeyDust: ok
[09:55] <tsimpson> myhero: no, you need all the things the firefox package depends on, _plus_ all the development versions of those packages, and the packages for the build system
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> myhero: and the output of:  uname -a
[09:55] <myhero> tsimpson: ok then i will go with ppa ActionParsnip where to get it and how to install it ??
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> myhero: firefox 15 is default in Precise. just run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:56] <blz> Hi, I installed another OS (backtrack 5) alongside ubuntu and later decided I didn't want it.  I proceeded to remove the associated partitions with gparted and now I get a grub error when I try to boot.  I am *positive* that I didn't remove the ubuntu and win7 partitions, but for some reason grub is freaking out.  What can I do?
[09:56] <myhero> ActionParsnip: Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> myhero: can you give the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> myhero: I found a ppa for firefox 16 if you like....
[09:57] <myhero> ActionParsnip: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -sd Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> myhero: is ver 16 ok?
[09:57] <myhero> ActionParsnip: is it final stable or beta ?? betas have lots of holes......
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> !info firefox | myhero
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> myhero: firefox 15 is in Precise by default
[09:58] <fidel> ActionParsnip: which doesnt help him until he updates ;)
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> myhero  just told you, FF 15 is in the repos
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> myhero: fidel hence the update/install command I gave ;)
[09:58] <fidel> i think that is the initial problem - not updating an install but asking for up-to-date app (firefox)
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> myhero: run full updates and you wil get firefox 15
[09:59] <myhero> ActionParsnip: in ubuntu 12.04 it has firefox v11 and  have the ubuntu 12.04.1 image which i dd'ed to usb and ran it live but it showed firefox v14 and not v15
[09:59] <fidel> which is somehow not-working - based on dependencies we have
[09:59] <blackshirt> fidel, what are you trying to config?
[10:00] <fidel> myhero: either consider using your current version - or update your entire installation .....you cant have both
[10:00] <fidel> blackshirt: nothing - i am talking about the question of myhero
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> myhero  the live version is older than the current
[10:00] <myhero> MonkeyDust: ohh ok....so what should i do now ??
[10:00] <blackshirt> fidel,okey
[10:01] <dr_willis> the staticalt compiled tar.gz version from firefox's download site may work...
[10:01] <myhero> fidel: any way inbetween which doesn't includes much of internet bandwidth
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you don't need the ISO, you can upgrade using the web. If you edit /etc/apt/sources.list  you can add the CD as a repo, or use some other commands etc
[10:01] <myhero> ActionParsnip: that will be good.....how to do it ??
[10:02] <fidel> myhero: what is 'much internet bandwidth' in the first place?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there are guides online galore
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[10:02] <fidel> have you ever checked how much data it would be to update the current installation?
[10:02] <myhero> first things first.......i am getting lot of connection and disconnections messages.....how to avoid them ??
[10:02] <fidel> and doublechecked if its an issue compared to your internet-limitation?
[10:03] <myhero> its getting hard to read msgs with them.....
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> myhero  depends on your irc client
[10:03] <myhero> fidel: i never checked it coz i never had an option for update or upgrade....
[10:03] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i am using webchat irc
[10:04] <SpacePoet> what does $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p)  do?
[10:05] <myhero> MonkeyDust: how to avoid these connection and disconnection msgs.......these are filling the full screen.....
[10:05] <Ben64> SpacePoet: don't post that kind of stuff here
[10:05] <Ben64> !danger
[10:06] <SpacePoet> Ben64: what kinda stuff?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there is an option under 'options' in the top left
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> myhero  i know how to do it in irssi, but not in webchat
[10:06] <Ben64> SpacePoet: the line you posted
[10:06] <SpacePoet> Ben64: what does it do? I don't even know
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: its just a button in the top left of the chat, you can change colours too
[10:06] <Ben64> SpacePoet: its bad
[10:06] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i have irssi deb and i use it also but currently its not installed......i m on webchat irc
[10:07] <mah454> Hello
[10:07] <MonkeyDust> SpacePoet  it is meant to forget and ignore
[10:07] <SpacePoet> why is it bad lol
[10:07] <SpacePoet> you just keep telling me it is bad but you wont explain why
[10:07] <SpacePoet> its like north korea all over again
[10:07] <tintoy> hi hello
[10:07] <tintoy> anyone help
[10:07] <jrib> SpacePoet: where did you get that command?
[10:07] <blackshirt> hi tintoy
[10:07] <dr_willis> SpacePoet: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xxd
[10:07] <mah454> I configured Thunderbird Over POP3 , now i need keep message on server . How can do this ?
[10:08] <myhero> brb all 10 mins.....
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> mah454: there is an option to keep the messages on the server
[10:09] <mah454> I can not find this Option on settings !
[10:09] <mah454> where is this option ?
[10:09] <Ben64> is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line?
[10:09] <SpacePoet> jrib: some guy on 4chan told me to run it
[10:09] <tintoy> @blackshirt- can I use 255.255.252.0 subnet mask in Class C?
[10:10] <blackshirt> spacepoet, look ata the manual dr_willis given?
[10:10] <jrib> SpacePoet: then you should probably not run anything he tells you to run.  Run "echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p" without the dollar sign and parentheses you had before, and you'll see what it would have done
[10:10] <dr_willis> SpacePoet:  so thats good enough reasin o not do it..
[10:10] <Ben64> jrib: should maybe not keep posting it : /
[10:10] <SpacePoet> blackshirt: i did i also read the man page of that
[10:11] <blackshirt> spacepoet, actually i don't know what the xxd was for ...
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> mah454: http://www.gn.apc.org/sites/gn.apc.org/files/images/thunderbird_pop_setup1.jpg
[10:12] <SpacePoet> jrib: it didnt do anything
[10:12] <jrib> SpacePoet: ok, anything else we can help you with?
[10:15] <SpacePoet> jrib: all my stuff disappeared
[10:16] <TheDrums> ...You ran it?
[10:16] <jrib> SpacePoet: yes, that's what your original command does
[10:16] <SpacePoet> then why did you tell me to run it???
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> what? deletes stuff?
[10:16] <Ben64> i warned you
[10:16] <jrib> SpacePoet: no one told you to run your original command
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> so the command literally deletes files?
[10:17] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: yep
[10:17] <jrib> ActionParsnip: that echo stuff just says "rm -rf *"
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: yowser
[10:17] <TheDrums> ActionParsnip: Calls rm a few options, and *
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> TheDrums: yikes
[10:17] <SpacePoet> jrib: you told me to run it with echo at teh front
[10:17] <dr_willis> without the  $() it would just print what it does
[10:18] <dr_willis> echo whatever.. would run nothing
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> ahhh
[10:18] <jrib> SpacePoet: the command I gave you just prints what the command would have done :/
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> i tried the rm -rf thing, with some additional parameters in vbox, it did ruin the system
[10:19] <SpacePoet> jrib: then where are my stuff lol
[10:19] <jrib> SpacePoet: if you ran the original command, then it's gone.  Use your backups and don't run commands you don't understand anymore
[10:19] <SpacePoet> jrib: where are backups?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> SpacePoet: where you made them
[10:20] <Ben64> nobody makes backups anymore
[10:20] <SpacePoet> i dont remember making them
[10:20] <jrib> SpacePoet: wherever you created them.  If you don't have any, then take this as a life lesson to start making them from now on
[10:20] <Ben64> this isn't 1992
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: I do, my dad does and his dad does
[10:20] <SpacePoet> zomg
[10:20] <Ben64> load up the tape drive? :P
[10:20] <SpacePoet> all my photos
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: also the company I wok for backs up a few thousand Tbs a day
[10:20] <Ben64> how
[10:21] <SpacePoet> TBs
[10:21] <dr_willis> Ben64:  lots of floppies
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: netapp backup + some magnetic tapes
[10:21] <SpacePoet> what is this 1997?
[10:21] <vivid> i backup everything
[10:21] <Ben64> few thousand TBs?
[10:21] <Ben64> as in a few PB
[10:21] <Ben64> seems unplausable
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: yes, we are a hosting company with a handful of datacentres
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: so quite easy really
[10:22] <Ben64> which company
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: i can PM if you like
[10:25] <ooxii> hi i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and wondering how i can configure nautilus so that i can enter the path directly instead of having clickable buttons
[10:25] <ooxii> in ubuntu 10.04 (or even before that) there was a pencil symbol
[10:25] <dr_willis> ooxii:  hit ctrl-l
[10:25] <ooxii> with that i could swap between the button path and the text path
[10:25] <blackshirt> ooxii, ctrl+L
[10:25] <ooxii> dr_willis, blackshirt, thanks!
[10:26] <nsudo> ooxii, ctrl+L
[10:26] <ooxii> if i forget the shortcut, how can i change that in the menu?
[10:26] <dr_willis> there used to be a tweak to make the path the default
[10:27] <dr_willis> used to be a button to toggle it years ago i recall..
[10:27] <ferni> gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
[10:27] <dr_willis> but now a days its a 'buttons are too confuseing' mindset.
[10:28] <ooxii> ferni, thanks :-)
[10:28] <dr_willis> ;) clean interface even if you cant use it!
[10:28] <Ben64> Is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line?
[10:28] <dr_willis> Ben64:  you mean comercial audio cds?
[10:28] <Ben64> yep
[10:29] <ooxii> one more question: do you know the windows 7 explorer path? if find it excellent since you can do both, clicking on a path part is like clicking on a button and changing to that directory. but if you click next to it you can edit the path. can nautilus (or another ubuntu file manager) do the same?
[10:29] <Elvano> Hey guys, when I boot my system I get an error that looks like something as this "libc.so.6: shared library file not found"
[10:29] <dr_willis> seen some ripper apps that claim to use all sorts of faaancy tricks on windows to verify audio cd's when ripping..
[10:30] <dr_willis> but not noticed any on linux.  the ubuntustudio guys may know of some
[10:30] <Elvano> I already tried to copy the file from a live CD with no results
[10:30] <blackshirt> elvano, thats bad
[10:30] <vivid> ooxii, if you press the '/' key you'll see the actual path in nautilus.  theres also a setting to always show the path instead of buttons
[10:30] <Ben64> dr_willis: i'm working on fixing a disc tester, it made a lot of magic smoke yesterday. If I can't fix it I can make my own with ubuntu I figure, and use dd for data cd and video dvd.
[10:30] <lex__> Hello every one , after dualboot fedora on ubuntu i can't see fedora login option in grub loader .Help me out plz
[10:31] <Elvano> I'd really apriciate help on the matter for I'm forced to run a live cd meanwhile
[10:31] <dr_willis> Ben64:  ive seen comercial video dvd's that have such nasty copy protection dd chokes on them.
[10:31] <blackshirt> lex__, grub2 should detect your fedora?
[10:31] <ooxii> vivid thanks! / is even shorter than ctrl+l
[10:31] <blackshirt> elvano, is it true your libc.6.so missing?
[10:32] <lex__> blackshirt: but it d'nt . After installing ubuntu 12.04 grub loader , it d'nt show any option for fedora
[10:32] <Elvano> Well, when I checked the lib/gnu..;something, it wasn't there (if that's where it's supposed to be) @ blackshirt
[10:32] <Ben64> dr_willis: darn
[10:33] <blackshirt> lex__, run update-grub, and check it detected your fedora...and look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg..is there fedora entry?
[10:34] <blackshirt> Elvano, usually libraries was resides on /lib dir or /usr/lib ... you should check it
[10:35] <Elvano> Neither one contains the file, blackshirt
[10:36] <lex__> blackshirt:  it d'nt have any entry for fedora in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[10:36] <blackshirt> elvano, thats bad thing... Libc.6.so was c library .. And that was a core library used almost of the sysyem
[10:37] <blackshirt> Lex__, you can add it
[10:37] <lex__> blackshirt:  how ? Can you add ?
[10:37] <Elvano> How could it be missing just like that? @blackshirt
[10:38] <bondj> howdy
[10:38] <lex__> blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230175/
[10:38] <Elvano> and might it be possible to copy it from another installation? @ blackshirt
[10:38] <blackshirt> lex__, usually, adding some entries through grub config files. They reside in /etc/grub.d/ dir
[10:38] <dr_willis> is the fedora install on an encrypted disk or anything odd lex ?
[10:39] <blackshirt> elvano, i don't know what are you have been doing with your system before
[10:39] <lex__> dr_willis:  i d'nt think so . I can access its data
[10:40] <lex__> dr_willis: means its not encrypted
[10:40] <dr_willis> lex__: can you see its /boot/ files?
[10:40] <lex__> dr_willis:  yup !
[10:41] <Elvano> Don't see the lib in any of the folders on my live image either, blackshirt
[10:41] <catphish_> when installing ubuntu 12.04 on raid10, is it necessary to create a raid1 boot partition too?
[10:42] <blackshirt> elvano, check agains your lib dir.. And ensure nothing libc in it ..maybe just has beeen renamed
[10:42] <dr_willis> in the fedora grub.cfg find the stanza that boots it. put that in the  40_custome   file in /etc/grub.d  i belive may work
[10:42] <Elvano> Anyway, I've got to go . thanks for your time, blackshirt
[10:42] <bondj> how thow to create themes for xfce? (gtk themes i think)
[10:43] <lex__> dr_willis: ?
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> bondj  there's this http://orford.org/gtk/
[10:44] <blackshirt> lex__, have you tried to add some entries on 40_custom files?
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> bondj  there's also 'devhelp' in the repos, it's for gtk
[10:45] <lex__> blackshirt:  40_custom of what distro ?   Ubuntu or fedora
[10:46] <dr_willis> fedora may have the same feature
[10:46] <blackshirt> lex__, are you relies on different /boot partition ?
[10:46] <blackshirt> dr_willis, for grub, i think not differ too much
[10:46] <lex__> dr_willis: blackshirt  in fedora yoiu d'nt have grub.d , only grub
[10:47] <blackshirt> In /etc/grub.d
[10:48] <lex__> blackshirt: i found grub.d
[10:49] <blackshirt> thats i mean
[10:49] <dr_willis> you need to decide which os  you want to manage the bootloader. ;)
[10:49] <dr_willis> it might be best to chainload the other os.  but ive not had to do that in years
[10:50] <blackshirt> maybe better just adding an entry
[10:50] <lex__> dr_willis: after finding 40_custom what should i do ?
[10:51] <dr_willis> in the fedora grub.cfg find the stanza that boots it. put that in the  40_custome   file in /etc/grub.d  i belive may work
[10:51] <dr_willis> anything in 40_custom gets tacked onto the end of the grub menu basically
[10:52] <dr_willis> add proppper fedora entry and it should show up in the ubuntu grub menu
[10:52] <blackshirt> learn some basic to add menuentry on grub menus
[10:53] <dr_willis> odd that os-prober is not seeing the fedora install. was the fedora partitions mounted when you ran 'sudo update-grub'
[10:53] <lex__> dr_willis: sorry to disturb you again but i d'nt know what to paste from this . Can you help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230191/

[11:00] <Andre_designer> the grub don't appear at startup
[11:01] <tcp_cungkr1nk> hello all, help me please
[11:02] <MonkeyDust> Davisrox101  keep it in the channel, please
[11:02] <Davisrox101> kk
[11:02] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, what the problems?
[11:04] <tcp_cungkr1nk> my application with google maps API work fine on private IP, but the problem when accesed form public  IP
[11:04] <tcp_cungkr1nk> i used ubuntu server
[11:05] <tcp_cungkr1nk> whats going on with my ubuntu server
[11:05] <tcp_cungkr1nk> ?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> tcp_cungkr1nk  there's also #ubuntu-server
[11:05] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, are you come from indonesia?
[11:06] <tcp_cungkr1nk> yes, sorry for my bad english
[11:06] <quetzacotl> asfasf afasfafaga
[11:06] <tcp_cungkr1nk> thank you MonkeyDust
[11:07] <quetzacotl> hello guys I have question about running apps on ubuntu
[11:07] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, it's no matter, i'm from indo too.. We come from the same country :d podho arek indone :d
[11:08] <quetzacotl> I made app using pyinstaller. It's console based app, no gui. And I can't run it by double clicking icon, only from terminal
[11:08] <quetzacotl> why is that, it's just not responding
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: make a .desktop file to run the command
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can copy one from ~/.config/autostart to the desktop, the manipulate it to run what you wish
[11:11] <quetzacotl> I have to do this on every system, or just make one in run directory and it will work for everyone who download this app?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can copy the file to the other systems easily
[11:13] <quetzacotl> I'm new to ubuntu, how can do I make hidden files visible?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: just run: nautilsu ~/.config/autostart   bit easier
[11:14] <tcp_cungkr1nk> quetzacotl press ctrl+h
[11:14] <fidel> quetzacotl: depends on what app / viewer you are talking about. nautilus offers a menu option for that
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: or look in the menus in nautilus and the option should be there
[11:15] <quetzacotl> i have no such directory
[11:15] <quetzacotl> .config
[11:15] <japro> hi, can someone comment on the quality of current amd catalyst drivers? i'm looking into buying a new laptop
[11:15] <quetzacotl> oh sorry
[11:15] <quetzacotl> its there
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: reading is good
[11:16] <decci_> Hi Guys
[11:16] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:16] <decci_> I have Dell R620 machine with H710 PERC card. Its not working for Ubuntu 10.04 but working on 12.04.1
[11:17] <decci_> Can I do some backporting the driver to Ubuntu 10.04
[11:17] <decci_> Any idea? How can I make it work for Ubuntu 10.04
[11:17] <gordonjcp> decci_: why not just stick with 12.04?
[11:17] <quetzacotl> well
[11:17] <apg> quetzacotl: what about Nvidia card? You like ATI more?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> decci_: +1 for using precise
[11:17] <decci_> gordonjcp: I am some application working and I dont want to upgrade
[11:17] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip you said nautilsu ~/.config/autostart
[11:18] <quetzacotl> I'm new to whole linux, so I dont know commands yet
[11:18] <quetzacotl> its nautilus I suppose
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: press CTRL+ALT+T and you can run the command
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: yes, nautilus
[11:18] <gordonjcp> decci_: you'll need to in six months anyway
[11:19] <vega-> gordonjcp: not on server
[11:19] <decci_> gordonjcp: Please understand my manager is sticking to the point that he needs this combination only
[11:19] <quetzacotl> Could not find "/home/quetzacotl/.config/autostart".
[11:19] <vega-> it's april 2015 for server
[11:19] <decci_> gordonjcp: Is it possible in anyway to get it work?
[11:19] <gry> decci_, what do you mean by 'some application working'?
[11:20] <quetzacotl> so this nautilus is just an explorer
[11:20] <gry> yup
[11:20] <decci_> gry: Sorry you can leave it behind..just need you suggestion on how can it be achieve
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: I can pastebin you an example if you like.
[11:20] <quetzacotl> I'll google it
[11:20] <gordonjcp> decci_: you could backport it
[11:20] <gordonjcp> decci_: grab the source package and see if it works
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: gimme 2 seconds, i'll have one faster than you can 'google it'
[11:20] <KooolaNL> guys u want to help a lad out :P ?
[11:21] <decci_> gordonjcp: Can you help me where shall I find the source code?
[11:21] <quetzacotl> ok, thanks
[11:21] <gordonjcp> decci_: if you need to ask that, you'll struggle with backporting
[11:21] <gry> KooolaNL: just ask
[11:21] <KooolaNL> i only require a facebook like :P
[11:21] <KooolaNL> cism is always in jest, it's not meant to be serious :P

[11:21] <KooolaNL> sorry
[11:21] <gry> KooolaNL: sorry, I have trouble understanding the question
[11:21] <decci_> gordonjcp: A resource or link could be helpful..though I know kernel compilation :)
[11:21] <gordonjcp> decci_: have a look at the page for the package in Precise
[11:22] <gordonjcp> decci_: you might be lucky and it'll more-or-less just work
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: wget -O ~/Desktop/sample.desktop https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/dropbox.desktop
[11:22] <gordonjcp> decci_: make it clear to your manager that *now* is the time to start looking at updating to 12.04
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can edit the lines to fit your needs, you can even download a custom icon online.
[11:23] <decci_> gordonjcp: I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[11:24] <decci_> gordonjcp: Found this too http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666108
[11:24] <quetzacotl> thanks, but "The application launcher "sample.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe." ;p
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: the launcher won't do anything unless you have dropbox installed.
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: think
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you need to EDIT the file to do what you want, I have a near ZERO chance of guessing where or what you are trying to run. Don't I
[11:26] <quetzacotl> I don't want you to, it's just overhelming
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: so why are you running the file without editting it when obviously it doesn't do what you want?
[11:26] <quetzacotl> I thougt it will open in some text editor
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: if you open the file in gedit, you can change the file to what you want it to achieve
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: those files are used to launch apps, you can edit it in a text editor to make it run as you wish
[11:27] <gordonjcp> decci_: have a shot at compiling it, like I said, and see what horrible disastrous fireball and wreckage you end up with
[11:27] <gordonjcp> decci_: if it works perfectly, great; if you get errors, well that's less great but you know where to look
[11:30] <morethananoise> Hey, guys, so i've installed new cursor and it works, but just at certain apps. Like firefox. It works with firefox, but for example nautilus shows the old white cursor. Can anyone help me? Ubuntu 12.04
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> decci_  if you make soemthing work in 10.04, you'll have to modify it for 12.04 or 12.10 afterwards, so why not just make it for 12.04 ?
[11:30] <quetzacotl> ok, I edited it, do I have to put it into directory with my app?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> morethananoise: tried logging off and on?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: no, just make sure the Exec= line uses the full path to the application
[11:31] <morethananoise> ActionParsnip: Not just once. :)
[11:31] <decci_> MonkeyDust: I suggested it to manager , but seems like he wants to do what he likes to do.I have no alternative now.
[11:32] <bibi23> hi, I've added 'MYVAR=VALUE' at the end of my ~/.bashrc file and logged out / logged in, but it's not taken in account when I run commands, but when I do 'MYVAR=VALUE mycommand' it's taken in account, do you know why?
[11:33] <gry> bibi23: use `export MYVAR='value'`
[11:34] <blackshirt> bibi23, export it
[11:34] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip so now I can run this app by clicking on this file? but I can't run it simply by clicking on app icon?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: the file you have will run the binary you pointed it to
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: when you double click iy
[11:35] <quetzacotl> this is application that I want users to download from web and just like any app
[11:35] <quetzacotl> run
[11:35] <bibi23> fry: thx, it worked!
[11:35] <bibi23> gry: thx, it worked!
[11:36] <quetzacotl> I'm confused, but thanks for help and patience
[11:36] <dr_willis> normally in linux you dont  download apps from the web. :0 thats a windows 'standard'
[11:36] <quetzacotl> dr_willis so how u get them, I know I can from repo
[11:36] <dr_willis> you use the package manager tools to download/install apps.
[11:37] <dr_willis> its like the original 'app market' sort of idea
[11:37] <quetzacotl> but how can I put my app to repo
[11:37] <dr_willis> you can make your own ppa.
[11:37] <dr_willis> ppa
[11:37] <dr_willis> !ppa
[11:37] <quetzacotl> oh
[11:38] <quetzacotl> but for example my python ide, sublime text
[11:38] <dr_willis> or make your own .debs that you download then install via the package tools
[11:38] <quetzacotl> I downloaded it from web
[11:38] <quetzacotl> oand im just running it like in windows
[11:38] <crizis^> quetzacotl, web8 has repository for sublime text
[11:39] <quetzacotl> so I was missing whole concept
[11:39] <dr_willis> you can get 'tar.gz' or other binaries you extract and run.  but thats uncommon on ubuntu
[11:39] <crizis^> quetzacotl, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/sublime-text-20-stable-released-ppa.html see this page
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: if you double click the file you made on desktop, it will run the app
[11:40] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip, yes but it means that every user would have to make that file
[11:40] <dr_willis> quetzacotl:  this is why you make a .deb they install
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: not if you move it to /usr/share/applications  then all users will see it and it will appear in dash
[11:40] <dr_willis> it could include that file
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: obviously give it a nice icon so its recognisable :)
[11:41] <decci_> Any idea if anyone have backported the PERC h710p on 10.04?
[11:41] <quetzacotl> my brain is going to blow up, too much information ;p
[11:41] <decci_> I explored but couldnt find it for ubuntu...for debian its there
[11:41] <quetzacotl> but I'll try
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> decci_: you could report a bug and it may happen
[11:41] <dr_willis> decci_:  may be ppa's for it also
[11:42] <crizis^> quetzacotl, sublime text 2 howto/oneliner: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sublime-text
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: I suggest you change it's filename from dropbox.desktop too, if you install dropbox it will overwrite your efforts
[11:42] <quetzacotl> it's sample.desktop
[11:43] <dr_willis> MyUberApp.desktop  ;)
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: thats cool, may want to call it something slighty more meaningful
[11:43] <quetzacotl> yes, of course, I know that at least, now I'm just testing how to make app :)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: did you give it a nice icon too?
[11:44] <quetzacotl> I will
[11:44] <quetzacotl> when it comes to the point I have to distribute it
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: do you mean between users on the same PC, or multiple PCs?
[11:46] <quetzacotl> multiple
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you wil need to copy it between
[11:46] <milani> Hi. I tried to install oracle java using apt-get install. but it fails to download it
[11:46] <milani> I can not remove nor install it.
[11:46] <milani> what should I do:(
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: copy it to /usr/share/applications and it will be accessible to all users on that system you put it on
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> milani: do you mean oracle-java7-installer ?
[11:47] <milani> yeah
[11:48] <decci_> ActionParsnip: I wish Ubuntu has the same http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/
[11:48] <decci_> ActionParsnip: This has Linux 3.x which supports the PERC cards
[11:48] <milani> Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.
[11:48] <milani> dpkg: error while cleaning up:

[11:48] <milani> :/
[11:48] <milani> sorry
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> decci_: yes note the Use at your own risk part....
[11:49] <BluesKaj> !paste | milani
[11:49] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip, btw, I made also app with GUI (using pyqt), and it is running just by double clicking app file, I didn't have to make this desktop file
[11:49] <decci_> ActionParsnip: No issue
[11:49] <milani> ok ok I got it.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> milani: http://pastie.org/4829198
[11:50] <milani> ActionParsnip, done. thx.
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> milani: crazy what searching the web a little does :)
[11:51] <milani> I did search the web.
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> milani: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=oracle+java+installer+remove   is all I used, 5th result
[11:52] <milani> thx.
[11:52] <dddddddd> !lista
[11:57] <hanazuki_> upgrade to 12.04 but can't use right-click to change icons ?
[12:03] <grekkos> using `service` to start mysql does not seem to run the mysqld_safe script, is there a way I can change this?
[12:05] <cousteau> I just tried pressing dead-acute followed by c on an Ubuntu machine, and got the same result as here in Xubuntu:  instead of getting a c with acute (ć), I got a c with cedilla (ç)
[12:08] <Cipher-0> I'm working in a prebuilt Ubuntu 10.04 server CLI instance in a VM. The keyboard appears to be set for en-uk; how do I set it to en-us and make it stick? (also, I am still a linux n00b but I'm trying to get better :) )
[12:10] <joru> Cipher-0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[12:11] <Cipher-0> Thank you!
[12:11]  * Cipher-0 adds it to the copious notes.
[12:11] <joru> hope it works
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: edit /etc/default/keyboard
[12:15]  * cousteau wonders who had the bright idea of making ´+letter = áéíóúýŕśǵḱĺḿńṕẃźç
[12:16] <cousteau> like, if a combination for ç is really needed, I would have rather used `+c than ´+c (which in older versions was just a ć)
[12:17] <gordonjcp> cousteau: , + c surely?
[12:17] <cousteau> gordonjcp, well, ´ is a deadkey, , isn't
[12:18] <cousteau> but when using compose, sure, compose-,-c makes more sense than compose-'-c for ç
[12:18] <jrib> cousteau: usually , + c is ç
[12:19] <cousteau> my point is, in older versions, hitting the dead-acute key followed by c, or the sequence [compose ' c], triggered a ć
[12:19]  * dr_willis is amazed his irc client can show all of those.
[12:19] <cousteau> (which is nice for me because I know some serbian people)
[12:20] <jrib> cousteau: mine still does that (compose ' c = ć), what layout are you using?
[12:20] <morsnowski> 早安, 爸爸
[12:20] <morsnowski> even that works :)
[12:20] <cousteau> jrib, actually I'm not sure what does compose do here...  don't have a compose key
[12:20] <jrib> cousteau: ok, I don't use ` as deadkey :P
[12:20] <cousteau> jrib, any way I can quickly convert my CapsLock/ScrollLock key on a Compose one?
[12:21] <cousteau> (using Xubuntu and the Alt-Shift trick doesn't seem to work here)
[12:21] <Ascavasaion> I tried to do a sudo apt-get remove samba so that I can install samba4 and I got this output once it began processing ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1230294/
[12:22] <jrib> cousteau: see if any of the options in usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose look good to you, then you can use setxkbmap -option OPTION_HERE  to use it
[12:23] <jrib> cousteau: so for example, I use « xmodmap -option 'compose:menu' ».  Uh, yeah sorry.  I meant "xmodmap" and not "setxkbpmap" apparently :)
[12:23] <jrib> cousteau: actually, now that I check, you can do it with both commands
[12:24] <cousteau> xmodmap, that was it!
[12:24] <jrib> cousteau: in my ~/.xsession I have "setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak -option 'ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu,grp:shifts_toggle'", but in my history I see xmodmap being used so umm I think I've confused you enough now :P  (and have to go)
[12:26] <jrib> cousteau: I don't know about the use of ` as a dead key.  But at least with compose, you can use ~/.Xcompose to create your own combinations; if you just google "xcompose", you'll see lots of examples
[12:26] <cousteau> so...   xmodmap keysym CapsLock = Compose   or something like that?
[12:27] <litsa> hello.I have a problem with grub2.Grub boot ok , background theme is ok , menu ok.When i choose an option , screen goes black and i should press again a key to go on.What config should i change in the /etc/default/grub?
[12:27] <jrib> cousteau: uh, yeah.  Something like that.  I would just use « setxkbmap -option 'compose:caps' »
[12:28]  * cousteau uses `setxkbmap -option 'compose:caps'`, it's super-effective
[12:29] <cousteau> jrib, checked.  Compose ' c -> ç
[12:29] <jrib> cousteau: must be your layout
[12:29]  * sjerk22 likes that
[12:29] <AdvoWork> you know you can do sudo update-rc.d -f whatever stop 2 3 4 5 .  can i stop for all run levels without specifying?
[12:29] <cousteau> not exactly layout, more like locale or something, right?
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: yes, locale is more appropriate.  I see my compose options in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose .  You should be able to just modify yours using ~/.Xcompose though
[12:30] <cousteau> layout only controls which char/event is associated to each key, not how compose or deadkey sequences work
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: and actually I see dead keys defined in that file too
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: yes, you are right
[12:30] <kontinuity> hi all
[12:30] <KjetilK> My MythBuntu box is having some problems, sometimes, at seemingly random places, the playback just stops. I'm wondering if there is a hardware or software problem.
[12:30] <kontinuity> is there a ec2 branch of precise kernel just as lucid has one?
[12:30] <KjetilK> My dmesg says http://pastebin.com/Lb4FC57S
[12:31] <cousteau> ok.  I think the best way to go would be to make my own /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose
[12:31] <blipblip> litsa: you might have better luck at #grub
[12:31] <KjetilK> and smartctl says http://pastebin.com/xdGggnXx
[12:31] <jrib> cousteau: well, you should be able to just use ~/.Xcompose in your HOME
[12:31] <KjetilK> is it that my HDD is about to die...?
[12:31] <cousteau> jrib, oh, so that overrides the /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose one
[12:32] <Cipher-0> Seems /etc/default/keyboard doesn't exist and keyboard-configuration isn't installed?
[12:32] <litsa> thanks blipblip
[12:32] <jrib> cousteau: it should, yes.  Assuming it gets loaded ;)  I don't actually use one, but it's supposed to work like that.  There's even mention of it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey
[12:32] <dr_willis> KjetilK:  ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in all my hardware these days. more hd failures then all other failures.
[12:33] <jrib> Cipher-0: you should say your ubuntu version
[12:33] <KjetilK> dr_willis, yeah, I have only had one disc failure before, but it sounds like it is the biggest problem
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: are you running an X server?
[12:34] <Cipher-0> 10.04 server - but it's an opsview-core appliance. No X installed (or really wanted. :) )
[12:34] <TMS> hey, I have monitor0 and 1 connected to primary video card PCI:1:0:0 with split view working nicely. I have monitor2 connected to secondary video card PCI:4:0:0. I'd like to have split view stretched to monitor2 too. is there something wrong with my xorg config? I might be going config blind, but can someone point me in the right direction? amdcccle tool is not able to set it up
[12:34] <KjetilK> so, yes, it seems that something is wrong with the HDD, so I guess the biggest issue is whether I should just buy a new HDD or if it can be rescued...
[12:34] <TMS> http://people.opera.com/toksnes/tmp/xorg.conf http://people.opera.com/toksnes/tmp/xorg.0.log
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: http://krisreeves.com/things-that-should-be-easy/permanently-change-keyboard-layout-on-ubuntu-server-11-10/
[12:35] <kontinuity> how do I recompile the 12.04 kernel on EC2?
[12:35] <kontinuity> there is no ec2 branch for the precise kernel
[12:36] <cousteau> brb
[12:37] <bon_> hi
[12:40] <Cipher-0> Thanksm ActionParsnip - that worked.
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: all I did was:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+server+change+keyboard
[12:44] <cousteau> jrib, well, ~/.Xcompose didn't work
[12:45] <Ascavasaion> Can someone help me with this apt-get error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[12:45] <cousteau> also tried copying /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose (which seems ok according to its content) to /usr/share/X11/locale/es_ES.UTF-8/Compose
[12:45] <cousteau> Ascavasaion, no
[12:45] <cousteau> Ascavasaion, scroll up and find the actual error message
[12:46] <Ascavasaion> cousteau: "start: Job failed to start"
[12:46] <cousteau> ok, that sounds better...  something else?

[13:07] <Ascavasaion> usr13: You said I must do this... sudo apt-get -f install;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade  I did it, and then when I tried to install samba again it gave the same error.
[13:07] <usr13> Ascavasaion: In other words, when you did this command: "sudo apt-get -f install;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade"  #Did you get errors?
[13:08] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Try just samba   sudo apt-get install samba
[13:08] <LorSamPau_w> hungryhubby, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490833
[13:08] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Okay, let me try that then.
[13:09] <Ascavasaion> usr13: It worked... says that Samba is the newest version.
[13:10] <Ascavasaion> usr13: But, is samba 4 not better than samba 2.x?
[13:10] <hungryhubby> is there any application/package 2 reconfigure my network
[13:11] <hungryhubby> please tell me what 2 to .....what all o/p of commands you ppl need 2 solve my problem
[13:11] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  reconfigure what exactly?
[13:11] <usr13> Ascavasaion: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8633
[13:11] <hungryhubby> wired network
[13:12] <usr13> Ascavasaion: apt-cache policy samba
[13:12] <hungryhubby> mac address is showing incorrectly
[13:12] <fidel> !details > hungryhubby
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  start from the beginning, what were you doing and what went wrong?
[13:13] <entropy-> lol @ hungryhubby
[13:13] <entropy-> that nick is funny
[13:14] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Yes done that, and now?
[13:14] <hungryhubby> lets see,i had no wired connection in past now i have got a wired internet connection,i used 2 connect with mobile phone.now my wired ethernet device isnt showing up,i only see a device inside wired but with incorrect MAC address when i correct it 2 as shown in win 7,it is getting grayed
[13:15] <usr13> Ascavasaion: I don't know, what I've shown you is all I know about this issue.  It is possible that you first have to uninstall or purge samba, (but I'd think that installing samba4 would do that automatically... BUT, usually, only one version is available, (look at the output of "apt-cache policy samba4" and you see that they are both available probably), so I'm a bit confused.
[13:15] <hungryhubby> iam using ubuntu natty 11.04
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  don't use '2' when you mean 'to' or 'too', please, it's confusing
[13:17] <hungryhubby> i always meant "to"
[13:17] <Ascavasaion> usr13: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1230390/  Think I have hit that bug.
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> then type 'to'
[13:18] <excervo> hungryhubby, do you mean there is no eth device?
[13:18] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you try to purge samba ?
[13:18] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Yes.
[13:19] <hungryhubby> i have ethernet device but i didnt use in the past
[13:19] <Pazzie> excervo: are you still here?
[13:20] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Ok, well, just use samba for now?
[13:21] <xwalk> I'm trying to find a way to backup home directory files from my desktop to a remote local server so that I can sync my laptop to the server every day to keep data conformed between the three machines. Rsync seems a little too much to handle that kind of thing. Is there any other appropriate alternative?
[13:21] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Will do, than you for your help.  Much appreciated.
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> xwalk  still, rsync is the fastest and easiest way
[13:22] <excervo> Pazzie, do u want to access samba folder without credentials?
[13:22] <bootboot> xwalk, what do you mean "Sexist bullshit"
[13:22] <bootboot> äh
[13:22] <bootboot> sorry
[13:22] <bootboot> xwalk, what do you mean "too much to handle that kind of thing"
[13:22] <Pazzie> excervo: yes like this: http://www.debuntu.org/guest-file-sharing-with-samba
[13:22] <hungryhubby> can this cmd help " rfkill list all" then " rfkill list unblock all"
[13:23] <hungryhubby> remember iam using wired connection
[13:23] <xwalk> bootboot: That was my way of saying I'm getting terribly lost in the man pages for something I wanted to set up quickly.
[13:23] <bootboot> xwalk i see, but there are also good online resources on how to use it to do exactly what you need
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> xwalk  there's 'lucky backup', a GUI for rsync, there's also grsync
[13:24] <Pazzie> excervo: nevermind i have solved it allready
[13:24] <Pazzie> excervo: thnx anyway
[13:24] <hungryhubby> are they any special privileages to root than administrator(my account is admin) since iam the only user.
[13:25] <excervo> Pazzie,is this solves the problem guest account = nobody?
[13:26] <Pazzie> excervo: no i had to do security = share instead of user that was the trick
[13:26] <excervo> Pazzie, ok thanks
[13:28] <Pazzie> excervo: now i can access the data on my unbuntu system without credentials (since its my private network)
[13:28] <Pazzie> excervo: and because i am lazy offcourse ;)
[13:30] <excervo> Pazzie, that was a good idea
[13:32] <Pazzie> excervo: thnx
[13:34] <Pazzie> excervo: now i can copy my data, because i want to change from windows media server to ubuntu media server (because i think it will preform even better then my windows system does, with less resources
[13:40] <excervo> Pazzie, you're right linux is faster
[13:41] <bondj> hello
[13:41] <bondj> i run xfce + compiz
[13:41] <bondj> how to disable xfce's wallpaper? i want to use compiz
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> bondj: does xfce draw the wallpaper?
[13:42] <chris92> hey there... can anyone tell me where I can find a netboot.tar.gz for xubuntu? im only finding those for ubuntu :/
[13:42] <bondj> ActionParsnip, yes
[13:43] <dr_willis> i thought netboot booted whatever image the netboot server was hosting
[13:43] <Skei> Morning, all. I'm trying to edit the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold value from 95 down to something more reasonable, but I'm getting Permission Denied, even with sudo. Any suggestions ?
[13:43] <dr_willis> so you want  A xfce netboot image?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> bondj: maybe xfconf-query has the config
[13:44] <Hatori> chris92,what you mean with netboot.tar.gz
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> bondj: sure it's not nautilus http://linux.chrissweeney.co.uk/topic.php?t=65
[13:46] <Ascavasaion> Howcome I can access 127.0.0.1 but not localhost?  I thought they were one and the same.
[13:46] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Depends on what is in /etc/hosts
[13:47] <Hatori> ascavasaion, usually 127.0.0.1 refers to localhost name
[13:47] <usr13> Ascavasaion: grep localhost /etc/hosts

[13:49] <mah454_> Can scripting python language in QT creator ?
[13:49] <Ascavasaion> usr13: The initial reason I tried to change from samba 2.x to 4. hehehehe  smb://localhost/ does not work, but smb://127.0.0.1 does.  I cannot access samba shares on this Lubuntu machine from remote Ubuntu machines.
[13:50] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Seeing the /etc/hosts file you showed us, localhost should indeed resolve to 127.0.0.1  But what does that have to do with remote machines?
[13:50] <mdeboard> Hi, I just installed samba on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit server (EC2 instance). I was following (blindly, stupidly) the instructions here http://www.sitepoint.com/ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-file-sharing-with-samba/ under the "Configuring Winbind" section, and rebooted my server. Now, I cannot SSH to the server. Did I do something dumb?
[13:51] <Anomie21> Trying to burn an .iso and brasero has been stuck at 84% for the past hour, can't eject, any other options?
[13:51] <Hatori> localhost was for local system, you should access it with other address or by hostname

[14:02] <mdeboard> Well this is just freaking great.
[14:03] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: you want to say that the irc channel for ubuntu is not for support? and that the man pages are?
[14:03] <e66> hatori: I removed the file. but nothing happens. it just redownloads the file
[14:03] <usr13> Ascavasaion: When you try to connect to it, are you using an IP address?   ...Or are you trying to use a hostname?

[14:04] <blackshirt> e66: can you pastebin your error ?
[14:05] <e66> blackshirt:  I think I did that already on my first comment.
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> jalexandru: you are using a command and its not failing and there is a man page for commands, why have you not checked that first?
[14:05] <e66> blackshirt: here it is http://pastie.org/4829673
[14:05] <blackshirt> e66: i just changing my host, sorry
[14:05] <Ascavasaion> usr13: I thought it was a firewall problem, so I enabled access on ports 137,138,139, and 445.
[14:06] <blackshirt> e66: wait a minute
[14:07] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: I've checked that first .... but it was telling me something about a "-L" parameter that was able to send the port ... really now ... it's only a parameter that I needed ... I didn't want to know how ssh works....
[14:07] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: if you ask for bread at a shop ... do you want the seller to give you the history of the bread???
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> jalexandru: but the syntax of the command is already there for you, the history of bread when buying bread is completely different
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> jalexandru: you aren't after the history of SSH, that would be comparable

[14:10] <usr13> Ascavasaion: You enabled ports on the router?
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> e66  did you sudo apt-get update, first
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> ?
[14:11] <e66> MonkeyDust: yes
[14:12] <e66> i did it many times.
[14:12] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Um, nope.
[14:12] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Then how?
[14:12] <blackshirt> e66: but, i think your link maybe down..i can acces the other site
[14:12] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: thing is that ... I was after ssh -p 2020 root@192...   didn't found it in the man pages that has way too much info only for this ... that's way I've turned to irc .... sorry, I know I don't sound very pleasant ... I really enjoyed your help (it made me move my ass and get the info I needed :) )
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> blackshirt  i just opened e66's link
[14:12] <Ascavasaion> usr13: it is a small home network... no conenctions from outside world

[14:13] <nsudo> how can i share readonly shares??
[14:13] <blackshirt> e66: wait a second
[14:13] <mdeboard> Anyone have any idea how editing nsswitch.conf and/or installing samba could possibly have closed the port I'm using for SSH? Ascavasaion I ran `nmask -v <ip> -p <ssh port>` and it showed that it's closed, just fyi
[14:13] <usr13> Ascavasaion: So how [exactly] did you "enable on ports 137,138,139, and 445"?
[14:14] <blackshirt> e66: i can open your pastebin
[14:14] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you use ufw ?
[14:15] <blackshirt> e66: are you using mixed sources.list
[14:16] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Let me preface this firewall discussion with the statement that Ubuntu blocks nothing by default.
[14:16] <blackshirt> e66: are you using mixed sources.list ?
[14:16] <Ascavasaion> usr13: In Firestarter firewall tool.
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> e66  type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here
[14:17] <usr13> Ascavasaion: So you were running firestarter before attempting to use samba?
[14:17] <Ascavasaion> usr13: YEs.
[14:19] <usr13> Ascavasaion: If it is a home network with no connections from outside, you should not have needed to use a firewall. But you did, so be it.  As long as you have not blocked the necessary ports, ok.
[14:19] <e66> blackshirt: mixed source list mean?
[14:19] <usr13> Ascavasaion: You could use nmap to check.  Just run nmap from one of the other PCs and see if you have access.
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> e66  type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here
[14:20] <e66> MonkeyDust:  here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230525/
[14:21] <blackshirt> e66, your pastebin says, there are two version of libboost available ...
[14:21] <usr13> Ascavasaion: closed means that there is no service listening, filtered means it is blocked.
[14:21] <e66> I see there are three versions. 1.40, 1.46.1, 1.48.0
[14:22] <e66> blackshirt: But its normal as i see many packages have many versions in the repo. It should be okay.
[14:22] <usr13> Ascavasaion: closed means that there is no service listening, filtered means it is blocked, open means that it is not blocked and that a service is listening behind that port.
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> e66  i'm worried about mixed 32bit and 64bit sources / packages
[14:23] <blackshirt> e66, okey, that was just be a problem (relative problem for new user) if trying to install the same file, look at this line : rying to overwrite '/usr/share/boostbook/dtd/1.1/boostbook.dtd', which is also in package libboost1.40-dev 1.40.0-4ubuntu4
[14:24] <e66> blackshirt:  enter dpkg -l '*libcurl*' in your command prompt. you'll see how many versions are in repo. there should be 3
[14:24] <e66> So I dont think multiple version is a problem.
[14:25] <e66> MonkeyDust: how can that happen? I install libs from repo and compile source. never install a binary out of repo.
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> e66  like Hit http://deb.playonlinux.com precise/main i386 Packages
[14:26] <chris92> hey, can someone help me with a pxe install?
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> e66  and Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages
[14:28] <e66> MonkeyDust: I also see Hit http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd precise/main i386 Packages
[14:28] <e66> I think its the default behavior.
[14:29] <hal> I am using ubuntu 12.04. A strange thing is happening in Nautilus. When I create a file or folder in a directory, I am not able to delete it (the "move to rubbish bin" option is greyed out). I can delete it from the command line, but just not using nautilus. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
[14:30] <k4m3h4t3> ActionParsnip : your tips can't be work. finaly i uninstall all  compiz
[14:30] <e66> MonkeyDust: `ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ -1 | grep -i 386` also does not  output anything
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> hal  hit the delete key, happens here, too
[14:31] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you check yet?   i.e. From another PC;  nmap -p 139 192.168.1.x  #where 192.168.1.x is the samba server
[14:32] <hal> MonkeyDust: yes you are right! Ugh, what is going on with this release of ubuntu? there are so many annoyances :/
[14:32] <usr13> Ascavasaion: If it says open, you are good, filtered, it is blocked by firewall, or closed, means that samba is not listening.
[14:32] <hal> MonkeyDust: thank you very much for your help. Thank goodness you are here! ;)
[14:33] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Just installing nmap. then will try.
[14:34] <Ascavasaion> usr13: It says 139/tcp closed netbios-ssn
[14:34] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Looks like samba is not running.
[14:35] <hal> MonkeyDust: ah, I have just found that the menu item is simply greyed, but not disabled. It still works regardless of the colour

[14:38] <cfhowlett> lduros: alternate installer or hit F6 during bootup - at least I tihnk it's f6
[14:39] <lduros> cfhowlett: but I already installed ubuntu.
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> lduros  try alt-tab to see the text during the dots
[14:39] <lduros> MonkeyDust: but is there a way to make this permanent?
[14:39] <eses> ?
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> !text | lduros you mean this?
[14:40] <lduros> ubottu: MonkeyDust I guess so
[14:40] <lduros> thanks
[14:41] <AdvoWork> does update-rc.d -f whatever remove literally remove all the links in the various run level locations, could this be acheived by manually removing the links?
[14:42] <jrib> AdvoWork: yes.  Note that not all services are controlled by that now (in fact, most have been switched over to upstart)
[14:46] <Wilson2B> Hi all
[14:46] <Wilson2B> Unity has really been giving me hell for the last two weeks.. Im now using 2D mode .  Unity  is having refresh problems all the time. The top App Menu disapears and the launcher on side blacks out. I can hover over those areas and see a menu. When I open terminal and type unity, I get a bunch of errors.. Could I post the results for someone to give some advise ?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Wilson2B: which video chip?
[14:53] <AdvoWork> jrib, this is on quite an old server unfortunately, so i could literally go to the directory, ie: /etc/rc2.d/S01test-> /etc/init.d/test   and remove the S01test ? and when i'm ready for it to work on boot, just do update-rc.d whatever defaults(which i assume will recreate) ?
[14:55] <jrib> AdvoWork: if you want to, sure. How old are we talking about?  I think almost all of the supported ubuntus use upstart at this point.  If you really are managing sysv-init scripts, then I'd recommend using sysv-rc-conf instead of manipulating the links with update-rc.d
[14:55] <jrib> (or directly)
[14:56] <kupcsik> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04.1. I'd like to overclock my i5-3570k. I do it in bios and 4.5Ghz +0.1V works well in windows, but in ubuntu the maximum recognized frequency is 3.4Ghz, that means not even the turbo boost works, what could be the problem?
[14:57] <e66> So I have a broken package system!
[14:57] <michielbrink> windows have it wrong :P
[14:58] <jrib> !details | e66
[15:00] <AdvoWork> jrib, its a server i'm trying to re bring alive(6.06 lol!!!!)
[15:00] <jrib> AdvoWork: :x
[15:00] <e66> jrib:  I discussed it with it already. But I give you again.  This is the error http://pastie.org/4829673# and this is the apt-get update log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230525/
[15:00] <dr_willis> thats scary
[15:01] <Wilson2B> ActionParsnip: Intel GMU 3150, Intel Atom Dual core 1.5
[15:01] <e66> jrib: Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit. I wanted to install libboost-regex1.48{.0,-dev} packages. Then I got an unmet dependency.
[15:02] <jrib> e66: apt-cache poliyc libboost1.40-dev libboost1.48-dev
[15:02] <jrib> e66: apt-cache policy libboost1.40-dev libboost1.48-dev  # dumb rubberdome keyboard

[15:03] <e66> jrib:  I understand
[15:04] <fudgey> Hi guys, I wonder if anyone could help me with a display issue in Ubuntu 12.04
[15:04] <bazhang> fudgey, ask the channel and see
[15:05] <e66> jrib:  see http://pastie.org/4830038
[15:05] <CTLwm> fudgey: whats the problem with your display?
[15:05] <e66> Ubuntu paste is having problem right now!
[15:05] <fudgey> I installed ubuntu recently, but graphic were really poor. added acpi=force to the grub, but now when it boots up the screen says frequency out of range when Xorg loads
[15:06] <jrib> e66: ibboost1.40-dev isn't in any of your current repositories (you should probably just remove it)
[15:06] <jrib> llllllllllllllllllllll
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> e66  disable that ispros source, see if it makes a difference
[15:08] <e66> jrib: but package system is broken now so I can not install/uninstall anything. Let me try again
[15:08] <c2tarun> hi, can anybody please tell me how to change the values of energy star? (xset +dpms) Here is something that I want to increase Standby: 33    Suspend: 49    Off: 66
[15:08] <jrib> c2tarun: xset dpms X Y Z   (in seconds)
[15:09] <e66> MonkeyDust: how can i change that? It was setup automatically
[15:09] <c2tarun> jrib: hmm.. that was simple, so stupid of me :( thanks a lot
[15:10] <fudgey> no one know anything I can try?
[15:13] <OerHeks> fudgey, undo that, and see in dash > additional drivers if there is a driver available for your videocard.
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> e66  setup what, do you mean?
[15:13] <fudgey> it's a standard intel video card
[15:13] <e66> jrib: MonkeyDust: I think I have solved it by removing from synaptic.
[15:14] <dr_willis> grub has video mode settings to change uf the grub menu is using an out if range mode.
[15:14] <e66> Synaptic removed around 21 packages. All are  libboost packages
[15:15] <e66> MonkeyDust: by setup I meant the mirror was chosen during installation. I never changed it. Now I have found it.
[15:16] <fudgey> It's not the grub menu, i've tried uncommenting the grub gfx line in the grub file, but no change
[15:16] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:17] <Mechdave> G'day all, can anyone point me in the right direction here. I have got gmtp working with my SGS2 but rhythmbox still won't mount the SGS2 as a music player. Anyone have any ideas? Google is just returning bug reports with no resolutions :(
[15:18] <dr_willis> fudgey:  You did rerun 'sudo update-grub'   after changeing the lines?
[15:18] <fudgey> yup
[15:18] <_0x783czar> Does anyone here know how to disable the dynamic MOTD in ubuntu 12.04?  I just want to be able to put my motd in the /etc/motd file.
[15:19] <dr_willis> _0x783czar:  theres a service that updates it i belive.   not sure of its name
[15:19] <dr_willis> _0x783czar:  look in /etc/init
[15:20] <[snake]> would it be possible to make a free(or almost free), and open source type of rosetta stone program that is just as good if not better?
[15:20] <_0x783czar> dr_willis: I'm not seeing anything in there.
[15:20] <jrib> _0x783czar: man update-motd
[15:21] <dr_willis> im on my phone so cant look. ;)
[15:21] <fudgey> is there a way i can change the default graphics mode for xorg without having a xorg.conf file?

[15:23] <dr_willis> zomb13:  you mean the grub menu is not seen. but the system does eventually boot  to the login screen?
[15:24] <zomb13> yes if i let it go it will eventually boot to Ubuntu, but i can not see the options to boot to windows
[15:24] <_0x783czar> MonkeyDust: ah, perfect, I was googling everywhere to find something like this.  I'll give it a shot.
[15:24] <wavelight> hello
[15:24] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:24] <dr_willis> zomb13:  grub settings in /etc/default/grub has a video res, or a 'text' type menu that should work
[15:25] <wavelight> please tell me what is your opinion about Untangle, have anyone use it ?
[15:25] <wavelight> it is based on Debian
[15:25] <pinoavila> ciao a tutti ..!
[15:25] <pinoavila> :)
[15:25] <dr_willis> wavelight:  never heard of it. so id say dont  bother

[15:25] <bazhang> !ot | wavelight
[15:26] <zomb13> thank you will try now
[15:27] <aguadito> best usenet downloader?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: there is no single best for any situation
[15:27] <dr_willis> !best > aguadito
[15:28] <maj> aguadito: NNTPGrab all the way
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: all you will get is opinion, none are outright best or the others would die out as nobody would use them
[15:28] <aguadito> i just want a good software to download stuff from usenet
[15:28] <aguadito> maj - thanks
[15:28] <aguadito> :)
[15:28] <dr_willis> totally depends on the details...
[15:28] <dr_willis> and your needs.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: what is the best colour of the rainbow?
[15:29] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip:  Puce!
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: its the same basis and equally none-sensical, none are best, people just like different colours for whatever reason
[15:29] <aguadito> actionparsnip - i love orange personally
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: same with software
[15:30] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:30] <adnane> i love red color
[15:30] <aguadito> dr_willis - my needs are to download things from usenet, automatically extract .rars, maybe even stream on the go?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> maj: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[15:30] <maj> aguadito:you might wanna download spotlite for ubuntu aswell
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> maj: use http://pastie.org or similar. Thanks
[15:31] <zomb13> dr_willis : ok do i  set grfxmode to 640x480 or do I Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
[15:32] <dr_willis> zomb13:  either may work.  disable the graphical terminal should always work
[15:32] <dr_willis> zomb13:  be sure to 'sudo update-grub'
[15:32] <zomb13> thnx ...back after reboot...i hope :-)
[15:32] <zomb13> yup
[15:32] <maj> ActionParsnip:http://pastie.org/4830171
[15:33] <maj> ActionParsnip:i installed xubuntu-restricted-extras aswell
[15:33] <eduardo_> has anyone had a problem where your dhcpcd client would get an incorrect ip address?
[15:34] <eduardo_> like it supposed to be 192.168.1.something and you get 169.254.244.185
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> maj: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> maj: close all browsers and restart them, should be ok
[15:36] <einonm> Hi, When using the email client mutt on 12.04, I cannot connect to an IMAP server  (SASL connection error). I've tracked this down to be because my hostname is not set, even though /etc/hostname is ok, 'hostname -f' returns 'Name or service unknown'. Using sudo also reports 'sudo: unable to resolve host'.  'hostname -s' however returns the valid hostname...any ideas?
[15:37] <maj> ActionParsnip:closed firefox after, opened youtube but no video
[15:37] <VlanX> how can i read with expect the result of a command executed via an ssh session?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> maj: have you tried other browsers?
[15:38] <maj> ActionParsnip:not yet lemme try
[15:39] <AdvoWork> if adding entries to iptables, will these survive a reboot?
[15:39] <mikehoy> Is there a way to prevent CTRL+SHIFT+) to stop opening vertical clones of my console? also CTRL+SHIFT+( does it horizontally. I've checked the settings and googled around, this happened since I installed a new keyboard
[15:39] <fudgey> ActionParsnip: xrandr just gives me an error: `can't open display'
[15:39] <usr13_> AdvoWork: No
[15:40] <mikehoy> or maybe it is better asked are those keybindings supposed to behave that way
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, oh
[15:40] <mikehoy> can anyone verify?
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, is there a way to do this then?
[15:40] <usr13_> AdvoWork: You have to put them into a firewall script, if you have one, if not create one.
[15:40] <usr13_> AdvoWork: How are you adding these new rules?  From cli?
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, and is this still using iptables?
[15:41] <AdvoWork> usr13_, im literally doing this: http://pastebin.com/y2S9YMcw
[15:41] <AdvoWork> usr13_, and yeah its from terminal
[15:41] <usr13_> AdvoWork:  WHen you do it from the command line, it is good for that session only.
[15:42] <AdvoWork> usr13_, argh, thats not good then, i need it to survive a reboot(one or more reboots)
[15:42] <TheLordOfTime> is there an easy way to remote desktop with an Lubuntu system on my local network with little to no additional configuration needed?
[15:42] <jrib> AdvoWork: see !iptables factoid for several options (including the iptables-persistent package)
[15:44] <usr13_> AdvoWork: You can just add the commands to  /etc/rc.local  #Above the line that says "exit 0"
[15:44] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Or, as jrib suggests .....
[15:44] <maj> ActionParsnip:google chrome says cant load shockwave flash
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> maj: chrome has it's own flash, if you uninstall all flash packages
[15:45] <maj> ActionParsnip:maybe try reboot after all it installed?
[15:47] <maj> man its about time someone invent a decent flash alternative
[15:48] <auronandace> maj: its about time flash died
[15:48] <maj> auronandace:agree on that1, tryed html5 aswell but its not many better..
[15:49] <usr13_> AdvoWork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo  #Halfway down the page you'll see "Saving iptables"
[15:49] <zomb13> dr_willis : thank you worked perfectly
[15:49] <maj> leme try a reboot
[15:49] <maj> brb
[15:49] <dr_willis> maj:  i use the flash downloader tools, or a flash-replacer extension to watch videos in vlc
[15:49] <dr_willis> zomb13:  some tvs cant do all the video modes. common problem
[15:50] <maj> dr_willis:lemme try that
[15:50] <zomb13> dr_willis yup i figured that was the problem, just had no ide how to fix it.
[15:50] <AdvoWork> usr13_, ok, so if i do that, when i no longer need iptables, do iptables -F to flush it, then do another save?
[15:51] <fusion27> I just set up an Ubuntu 12.04 server, need to stick a vanilla MySQL server on it.  Thought sudo tasksel would do the quick & ez install but only see PosteGres on there
[15:51] <c2tarun> he jrib, something is resetting my energy star, setting. Do you have any idea whtat that might be?
[15:51] <jrib> c2tarun: are you rebooting?
[15:51] <fusion27> what's your quick and ez install ?
[15:51] <c2tarun> jrib: nope
[15:52] <jrib> c2tarun: so just after a few minutes, the output of "xset q" changes?
[15:52] <fusion27> This is Java server so I'm reluctant to bring up a LAMP server
[15:52] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Read the lower half of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo  #From "Saving iptables" on down.  Then make your decision(s).
[15:52] <c2tarun> jrib: yeah
[15:52] <jrib> c2tarun: what environment do you run in?  Default ubuntu with unity?
[15:52] <fusion27> just follow this guide ?https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/mysql.html
[15:53] <c2tarun> jrib: I use KDE on Ubuntuv12.04
[15:53] <maj> dr_willis:got an url on the firefox addon?
[15:53] <c2tarun> jrib: is it possible that I it is because I have two desktop environment?
[15:53] <usr13_> AdvoWork: And no, it does not say that you no longer need iptables.
[15:54] <jrib> c2tarun: hmm.  I don't know.  I guess there's some kde daemon.  I think kde uses dconf, check dconf-editor for something relevant.  Also, aren't those settings exposed in the gui somewhere?  Maybe easier to just modify there
[15:54] <jrib> c2tarun: did you load both of them?
[15:54] <c2tarun> jrib: what do mean by both of them? I can start only one at a time right?
[15:55] <jrib> c2tarun: you could start another instance of X and load both.  But, I was actually asking if you had logged into both (log into one, log out, log into the other)
[15:55] <c2tarun> jrib: nope, actually I haven't logged into unity for months
[15:56] <jrib> c2tarun: maybe someone in #kubuntu knows.  But my strategy would be to check running daemons for anything obvious, check dconf, see if it happens when you load a different environment
[15:57] <eduardo_> how do I start wpa_supplicant in system tray?
[15:58] <bon_> hi
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> eduardo_  guess you don't, it's something you add in /etc/networks
[15:59] <AdvoWork> usr13_, just fyi, i tried the rc.local thing, it doesn't survive a reboot for some reason
[15:59] <usr13_> AdvoWork: ls -l /etc/rc.local  #Show me
[16:00] <usr13_> AdvoWork: pastebinit /etc/rc.local  #Send resulting URL
[16:00] <maj> dr_willis:u got greasemonkey installed?
[16:01] <c2tarun> jrib: well I have hell lot of daemons running, but none of them is dconf.
[16:02] <javier_> wtf??? xd
[16:02] <jrib> c2tarun: nah, I just mean to look for daemons that look like they have to do with power settings.  Dconf was unrelated
[16:02] <_mis_tere_> hello frnds
[16:02] <c2tarun> jrib: ohh...
[16:02] <AdvoWork> usr13_, ok sec
[16:03] <jrib> c2tarun: and these settings may actually be exposed through the gui; but I haven't used kde in a long time
[16:04] <_mis_tere_> whois _mis_tere_
[16:05] <usr13_> _mis_tere_: preface that with /
[16:06] <AdvoWork> usr13_, sorry for delay: http://pastebin.com/nHQFW37n
[16:09] <mjuszczak> Quick question.  I installed skype and for some reason, it took *forever*. After looking at dpkg.log, I found this:
[16:09] <mjuszczak> http://pastebin.com/hLCyangv (I filtered out "status installed" only)
[16:10] <mjuszczak> does skype really have that many dependencies or did I do something wrong?
[16:10] <MuNk`> anyone know if there is a third party mod/addon/package to allow MAAS to work for IA64 machines?
[16:10] <ClientAlive> Really stupid question: In gnome tweak tool, how do you tell whether a button is on or off? I'm confused about which way it goes.
[16:12] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: for me... It glows when it's *on*
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: if you run 64bit ubuntu, yes
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: its still the 32bit app, so you install a tonne of 32bit packages as deps
[16:14] <mjuszczak> ahhh, okay.  Yes, I run 64 bit ubuntu.
[16:14] <AdvoWork> usr13_, urgh, even doing all my iptables stuff, then doing iptables-save and then rebooting, still loses all the stuff
[16:14] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: So if I can see the letters/ word "off" then it means the button is on?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: thats why, until skype (microsoft) kick out a real 64bit client, you will get this
[16:14] <truexfan81> i noticed that about skype too, but didn't care enough to ask why lol
[16:14] <usr13_> AdvoWork: What are you expecting to accomplish with the rules you have?
[16:15] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: for me... I see "On" and it's "glowing" orange
[16:15] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: and when I see Off, it's grey
[16:15] <AdvoWork> usr13_, block all incoming/outgoing traffic for the email server, the rules work as ive tested them, but i need to apply them, test them, reboot(do something else) and then remove them, i can't get past the reboot bit
[16:16] <erictr1ck> what is the difference between rub-compass and libcompass-ruby1.8 in the repos?
[16:16] <erictr1ck> ruby-compass*
[16:17] <deadmund> erictr1ck: not sure,  maybe aptitude show rub-compass   says something different that aptitude show libcompass-ruby1.8
[16:17] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Are you sure it's not working?    Have you checked from another PC?
[16:17] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: Mine is is shaped like two rectangles side by side, up against each other. I can One side says off one side says on but you can only see the word on one side or the other. If you can see "off" on the right side then the left side is solid white. (and vice versa). I can toggle by clicking only one side or I can click one side then the other - to switch it. It's ver confusing to me.
[16:18] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: so you don't know if its on when you can see the word "on" or when that side of the rectangle is solid white.
[16:18] <usr13_> AdvoWork: There is only one line there that will do anything: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 25,80,110,143,443,993,995 -j REJECT
[16:19] <AdvoWork> usr13_, well, i could access the emails erver via the web interface, and i couldnt after iptables, also sending email from the mail server worked, until i added those rules, then it didn
[16:19] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Probably the only one you need.  But check to see if any of those ports are filtered.
[16:19] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: FOr me, seeing "ON" means it's ON
[16:19] <AdvoWork> usr13_, will do thanks, any suggestions about getting past the reboot bit ? as the rules go when I do
[16:19] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: great. thank you.
[16:20] <f00dMonsta> Why do I dislike aptitude? Seems like lots of people like it :x
[16:20] <_mis_tere_> anyone tell me how i change the size of unity icons in ubuntu 12.04?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: personal taste. I like apt-fast personally :)
[16:20] <bazhang> !aptitude | f00dMonsta
[16:20] <mjuszczak> ActionParsnip: ahhh okay :) Thanks!
[16:21] <erictr1ck> deadmund, aptitude show ruby-compass.. provides libcompass-ruby1.8 and replaces libcompass-ruby1.8. not exatcly sure what that would mean though.
[16:21] <usr13_> AdvoWork: From another PC test with nmap i.e. nmap -p 25 192.168.1.x
[16:21] <mjuszczak> Does anyone use skype-wrapper?
[16:21] <truexfan81> whats that do?
[16:22] <mjuszczak> Makes skype work nicely with ubuntu 12.04
[16:22] <mjuszczak> you can minimize it, etc.
[16:22] <deadmund> erictr1ck: Not sure, a fork or something similar?  Sounds to me like you should install ruby-compass
[16:22] <mjuszczak> but it's a 3rd party ppa so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it (is it safe, etc.)
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: sits in the system tray for me, minimises nice
[16:23] <usr13_> AdvoWork:  Did you replace YOUR_CLIENT_IP   and  LOCAL_IP  with actual IP addresses?
[16:23] <usr13_> AdvoWork: If not, those rules will not work.
[16:25] <afab1> how can I get the boot menu in 12.04 in order to get the kernel menu?
[16:26] <afab1> (holding the shift key does not work)
[16:26] <Calinou> hold shift at boot
[16:26] <Calinou> do it at boot, just after the vendor's logo appears
[16:26] <afab1> which vendor, the MOBO's?
[16:26]  * Calinou facepalms
[16:26] <BluesKaj> aka the bios screen , afab1
[16:26] <afab1> ok
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> Calinou: hold it as soon as the system post beeps
[16:27] <Calinou> not all computers beep on boot
[16:27] <Calinou> most laptops do not
[16:28] <BluesKaj> afab1, the screen that shows you computer maker's name  , usually
[16:28] <heracles> erry:
[16:28] <erry> ?
[16:29] <daftykins> or the EPA / energy star / awardBIOS / phoenixBIOS logos
[16:29] <heracles> sorry it was a accident
[16:31] <designbybeck> So have you seen those decals people put over their glowing part of the apple logo on a mac? Any were you can get one what is a Ubuntu Sticker that will allow the Ubuntu Logo to glow?
[16:32] <usr13_> designbybeck: I don't know but sounds cool.
[16:33] <adami1097> Hey
[16:33] <adami1097> I am trying to install lamp-server
[16:33] <adami1097> but I get this error

[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Calinou: well, you get the idea, just after the post screen vanishes
[16:33]  * Calinou applauses designbybeck who managed to install ubuntu on a mac
[16:34] <Calinou> deserves nobel prize of vendor lock breaking
[16:34] <designbybeck> no no... I don't have one Calinou just saw someone talking about Ubutnu on a Mac, and I'd rather advertise for Ubuntu if I did ever go that route, because I wouldn't run OSX

[16:35] <adami1097> Please help me with this error
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> adami1097: use a pastebin to show it and we can help
[16:35] <adami1097> ok
[16:36] <designbybeck> I did end up going with a desktop!... i'm excited to see Ubuntu run on it!
[16:36] <VlanX> anyone expert with "expect" ?  please i'm having some troubles  :|
[16:36] <designbybeck> SSD!
[16:36] <adami1097> I also cannot set my password for mysqkl
[16:36] <adami1097> mysql
[16:36] <adami1097> tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[16:37] <jrib> VlanX: you should just ask your question; and I'd suggest also including why you are using expect (i.e. what you actually want to accomplish)
[16:37] <adami1097> the mysql error is
[16:37] <jrib> adami1097: please don't use your enter key as punctuation.  And use a pastebin to show us your error.  Also, how did you try to install lamp exactly (what command did you use)?
[16:38] <f00dMonsta> does firefox and thunderbird eat memory for any of you guys?
[16:38] <VlanX> jrib: i've made a script with expect to retrieve the content of a router's configuration via SSH, but now i'd like to store the output on a file
[16:38] <adami1097> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230704/
[16:38] <adami1097> Thats the mysql pass error
[16:38] <adami1097> the command I did for it was
[16:39] <adami1097> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[16:39] <jrib> adami1097: you're still using enter as punctation
[16:39] <adami1097> ok.
[16:39] <adami1097> please can you tell me how to fix this?
[16:39] <jrib> adami1097: maybe you already had mysql installed and that's why a password could not be set.  Is that the case?
[16:39] <adami1097> No
[16:40] <adami1097> Mysql is not installed
[16:40] <mbalmer> that is good already ;)
[16:40] <jrib> adami1097: can you pastebin what makes you say that?
[16:40] <adami1097> I know as it never installed.
[16:40] <adami1097> Always got that error.

[16:43] <adami1097> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230711/
[16:43] <adami1097> That is my output.
[16:44] <jrib> adami1097: mysql package *is* installed
[16:44] <adami1097> oh
[16:44] <adami1097> do I need lamp server?
[16:45] <jrib> adami1097: lamp just means linux, apache, mysql, and (usually) php.  Mysql is one component of lamp
[16:45] <adami1097> ok so how do I install lamp?
[16:45] <jrib> adami1097: you do however need to (re)set your mysql root password
[16:45] <orated> Hi! What is the difference between <sudo sh> and <sudo su> ?
[16:45] <adami1097> How do I reset it?
[16:45] <jrib> orated: they're both wrong in different ways :x
[16:46] <jrib> orated: use "sudo -i" if you really need a root shell
[16:46] <Calinou> always use sudo
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> orated  but you don't seem to know what you're doing, so better not use it
[16:46] <Calinou> sudo -i and logging in as root are not advisable
[16:47] <jrib> adami1097: you could probably just purge what you have installed and start over.  That may be easier for you.  Alternatively, see mysql's documentation on resetting mysql passwords: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[16:47] <fusion27> tx jrib
[16:47] <jrib> fusion27: no problem
[16:47] <adami1097> jrib I just want to install the rest in lamp server
[16:47] <chris92> hey there... finally got ubuntu on my notebook and now I have a problem with the b43 wireless driver. I can connect to my WLAN network but cant get any internet connection established. any ideas?
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> !bcm
[16:48] <jrib> adami1097: you probably want to have access to your mysql database too...
[16:48] <adami1097> how
[16:48] <afab1> is it normal to have a printer (usb) and get alternative add / remove messages from udevadm monitor --kernel ?
[16:48] <orated> MonkeyDust: Speculate. I've seen tutorials where for accessing/interacting with /sys/* sudo sh is used and in other places sudo su is used
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> chris92: can you ping the router's internal IP?
[16:48] <pansen> I did chown www-data /var/www -R and chown www-data /var/www -R and adduser sonja www-data, but i still cannot change/delete files in /var/www. Why?
[16:48] <chris92> nope
[16:48] <chris92> ActionParsnip: nope
[16:48] <jrib> adami1097: I just told you
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> chris92: does the interface have an IP address?
[16:49] <chris92> ActionParsnip: yes
[16:49] <jrib> pansen: log in again with sonja
[16:49] <adami1097> but I can't change my pass
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> chris92: ok, did you set it as static IP yourself?
[16:49] <jrib> adami1097: I just told you 2 ways to remedy that.
[16:49] <pansen> jrib: i rebooted...
[16:49] <jrib> pansen: output of "groups sonja"?
[16:49] <adami1097> I don't want to purge
[16:50] <chris92> ActionParsnip: what do you mean? The interface was always reachable thru the router's ip adress
[16:50] <jrib> adami1097: then use my other suggestion
[16:50] <adami1097> I just want to install lamp serever
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> orated  better don't mess with sudo and /sys/ if you don't really know what you're doing
[16:50] <adami1097> what is that
[16:50] <pansen> jrib sonja : sonja adm cdrom sudo dip www-data plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[16:50] <jrib> adami1097: you could probably just purge what you have installed and start over.  That may be easier for you.  Alternatively, see mysql's documentation on resetting mysql passwords: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[16:50] <adami1097> I can't
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> chris92: did yu manually set teh IP address on the wireless interface on the client system instead of using DHCP?
[16:50] <pansen> jrib: inside www-data: -rw-rw-r--  1 www-data www-data  652 Sep 27 18:31 qr-codes.php
[16:50] <jrib> adami1097: you can't what exactly?
[16:50] <adami1097> change it
[16:50] <chris92> ActionParsnip: no I let it assign an IP adress via DHCP
[16:51] <jrib> adami1097: why not?...
[16:51] <adami1097> i'll pastebin the error
[16:51] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: sorry do you mean  expect | tee file.text  ?
[16:51] <jrib> pansen: and what command do you try?
[16:51] <Martell> Hello, I want to run windows XP on my virtualbox, but if i attached a usb flashdisk, how do I open it on the virtualbox ?
[16:51] <pansen> jrib mv mv qr-codes.php adasd
[16:51] <jrib> Martell: #vbox can help you with that
[16:52] <pansen> jrib mv qr-codes.php adasd
[16:52] <jrib> pansen: ls -ld /var/www/
[16:52] <Martell> jrib: thanks hun
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  i'm not familiar with expect, but i do know you can pipe any outcome to a file, using the command tee
[16:52] <chris92> ActionParsnip: also the connection details says "Connection speed: 5Mb/s - i think thats a bit low, although I'm literally 1.5m away from my router
[16:52] <pansen> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 27 18:34 /var/www/

[16:52] <goddard> ahh man i dont even have to worry about the gnome overall menu
[16:52] <goddard> they added it to gnome 3.6
[16:53] <goddard> hurray!!!!
[16:53] <pansen> jrib: on the dir, but on the file!
[16:53] <jrib> pansen: make sure you really want that by the way.  You are giving your webserver write access to your files (really you only need this for things like wikis for example)
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> chris92: cool, what is the output of:  ip route show default | grep default | awk {'print $3'}
[16:53] <jrib> pansen: yes
[16:53] <adami1097> jrib why that error
[16:54] <pansen> if have a php code which writes qr-codes... so it needs write permissions
[16:54] <pansen> but i can use a subfolder for that
[16:54] <chris92> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230737/
[16:54] <jrib> adami1097: did you stop mysql before doing that?
[16:54] <adami1097> yes
[16:55] <jrib> adami1097: I don't know then
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> chris92: so you have 2 connections to the same subnet?
[16:55] <adami1097> can I just change it  without those
[16:56] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: even the outcome of an ssh session from a remote machine?
[16:56] <afab1> is it normal to have a printer (usb) and get alternative add / remove messages from udevadm monitor --kernel ?
[16:56] <adami1097> root@zxdhfdai:/usr/local#    mysql -u root

[16:56] <adami1097> That is a little error I also get

[16:56] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  try it, i'll try too
[16:56] <rohn> can anyone tell me how to get full hardware accilaration in cedar trail
[16:57] <jrib> adami1097: what's your "free -m" output look like?
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> chris92: ok run:  ip addr     what is output please?
[16:57] <rohn> i'm just installed 12.04
[16:57] <rohn> and installed all cedarview drivers also

[16:58] <jrib> adami1097: you know better than to paste in the channel
[16:58] <adami1097> ok
[16:58] <adami1097> So 90 free
[16:58] <Dice-Man> !paste
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> adami1097: yes
[16:58] <rohn> but when i want to start gnome3 it gose to fallback
[16:58] <chris92> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230744
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> adami1097: 256Mb total, 165Mb used
[16:58] <adami1097> so what do I do \
[16:59] <jrib> adami1097: well 90 is less than 128, so my guess is that is why
[16:59] <adami1097> why 128?
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  tried it, didn't work over ssh
[16:59] <jrib> adami1097: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230733/
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> chris92: yes, you have a wired connection with the same IP range as the wireless. This causes routing issues
[16:59] <usr13_> ActionParsnip: Why does adami1097 have 0 swap?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> usr13_: must not have set one up
[17:00] <chris92> ActionParsnip: okay, and how do I solve that?
[17:00] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: yeah... so is there any chance even changing interpreter?
[17:00] <smallfoot-> what means FFe?
[17:00] <adami1097> jrib but I have mysql installed
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  forget what i said
[17:00] <pansen> jrib: thx
[17:00] <jrib> adami1097: yes...?
[17:00] <Pici> smallfoot-: feature freeze exception. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
[17:00] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: you can actually?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> chris92: you can run:  sudo ifdown eth0    and it should stop
[17:00] <orated> MonkeyDust: When sudo -i should be used, when sudo -su and when sudo -sh?
[17:00] <adami1097> so why is it 128M?
[17:00] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: it returns an error here
[17:00] <usr13_> ActionParsnip: Not a very good way to run a linux system, but, well I dono, just never did it.
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  no, but my remote pc has debian, no tee there
[17:01] <jrib> adami1097: that's probably what it's setup to use by default.  I'm only guessing from the error you have pastebinned
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> usr13_: true specially with 256mb ram
[17:01] <chris92> actionparsnip: thanks man =) it worked. i just wonder why it was still active, there was no lan cable attached anymore
[17:01] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: oh wait, you mean the remote host must have tee right?
[17:01] <usr13_> ActionParsnip: I usually double the RAM amount for swap
[17:02] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: it's a cisco so it should have it
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> chris92: seems to be a Quanta Computer Inc ethernet chip
[17:02] <VlanX> lets see
[17:02] <usr13_> ActionParsnip: ... maybe overkill but I like to have plenty.
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> chris92: the routing had 2 paths to the same subnet so it causes routing to fail, one of the oldest bugs going
[17:03] <chris92> actionparsnip: okay, thanks again, works perfectly fine now! :)
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> usr13_: 1.1 x RAM for 2Gb RAM or more here
[17:03] <adami1097> Why do I need to change the pass?
[17:03] <usr13_> ActionParsnip: thx info.
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  try    ls | tee username@192.......:/home/username/blah    (change where needed)
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> chris92: if you only use the wifi, you can disable the ethernet in bios :)
[17:03] <ispirto> I'm having kernel panic issues and I suspected the RAM, I've been running memtest for half an hour now and it's stuck on this screen: http://i.imgur.com/ELdaL.png Does this mean the sticks are faulty?
[17:04] <chris92> actionparsnip: well it depends, when I'm at home I normally use wifi, at university I need the ethernet adapter. I just used the ethernet adapter to get wifi running at home
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  use 'ls' to test the syntax
[17:04] <adami1097> jrib what about 	1	   SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password');
[17:05] <usr13_> ispirto: How many RAM sticks do you have installed?
[17:05] <ispirto> usr13_, 2
[17:05] <usr13_> ispirto: Take out the first one and test again.
[17:05] <nsudo> am not able to see my samba shares from windows 7 pls help
[17:05] <jrib> adami1097: what about it?
[17:05] <adami1097> can I do that to update it?
[17:06] <adami1097> also jrib why do I have to change it
[17:06] <jrib> adami1097: sure
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: if you run:  smbtree   on the samba server, do you see shares?
[17:06] <jrib> adami1097: if you want to have a mysql server where you don't know the root password, I suppose you can do that
[17:06] <VlanX> MonkeyDust: i think i did it, you've been very helpful thanks again :)
[17:06] <nsudo> means?/
[17:06] <chris92> cya all
[17:06] <nsudo> ActionParsnip as in??

[17:07] <adami1097> jrib why do I even need to change it?
[17:07] <jrib> adami1097: if you want to have a mysql server where you don't know the root password, I suppose you can do that
[17:07] <adami1097> do what?
[17:07] <jrib> adami1097: if you want to have a mysql server where you don't know the root password, I suppose you can have a mysql server where you don't know the root password
[17:08] <adami1097> jrib u a bot?
[17:08] <jrib> adami1097: nope
[17:08] <Seveas> adami1097, yes, a very advanced ai
[17:08] <Seveas> no common sense though
[17:08] <adami1097> lol
[17:08] <Seveas> oh oops, thought I was in -offtopic
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: its a terminal command
[17:08] <jrib> :(
[17:08] <adami1097> jrib can I not just keep the password as it is
[17:08] <jrib> adami1097: yes, but you don't know what it is!
[17:08] <adami1097> ohh
[17:09] <adami1097> but what command can I do to actually change it?
[17:09] <jrib> adami1097: well first you need to sort out your memory issues so mysql can actually start
[17:09] <adami1097> Well how
[17:09] <jrib> adami1097: look at top and see what's using all your memory
[17:09] <Seveas> adami1097 to change the mysql root password, shut down mysql, start it up without networking and authentication, and then you can log in as root and change the password
[17:09] <adami1097> top where?
[17:10] <jrib> Seveas: he's getting this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230733/
[17:10] <adami1097> jrib where?
[17:10] <jrib> adami1097: "top" is a command
[17:10] <adami1097> oh
[17:10] <Seveas> jrib, oh
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> VlanX  how did you d o it?
[17:10] <adami1097> shall I paste the command?
[17:10] <adami1097> no outpuy
[17:10] <adami1097> output
[17:11] <Seveas> adami1097, pastebin the output of 'free -m' and 'cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf'
[17:11] <iqualfragile> hey guys, the software-center-humbleindiebundle-redeem-page looks crappy
[17:11] <adami1097> seveas I did the frre -m one
[17:11] <iqualfragile> can i do anything about it?
[17:11] <Seveas> jrib, that could either be 'all memory is gone' or 'innodb is configured stupidly'
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> iqualfragile  define 'crappy'
[17:11] <adami1097> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230762/ top command
[17:11] <jrib> Seveas: he has 90 of 256 mb free and no swap
[17:12] <jrib> Seveas: yeah, I actually don't know what the error means; just made a guess
[17:12] <Seveas> jrib, and he wants to run mysql )or anything for that matter...) on that?
[17:12] <adami1097> jrib thats the output
[17:12] <Seveas> adami1097, get more memory. 256mb was good enough 15 years ago
[17:12] <adami1097> lol
[17:12] <adami1097> why though
[17:12] <Seveas> jrib, here's the clue: 120927 20:53:23 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M
[17:13] <Seveas> it tries to allocate 128MB, that won't ever happen with only 90mb free
[17:13] <Guest35876> hi all, I hav a problem at login prompt. When i enter the password and again its giving me the login prompt

[17:13] <adami1097> seveas yeah but maybe there is something wasting memory

[17:16] <iqualfragile> that should not happen

[17:39] <NostradamusXXL> ikonia, hey
[17:39] <kravion> hi, my processor supports vmx but doesnt show up in /proc/cpuinfo. using ubuntu livecd and checked that its present, i'm guessing its because i installed ubuntu with vmx disabled in the bios or because i just changed the motherboard, is there a way to refresh or do i have to reinstall the whole operating system?
[17:39] <Guest35876> Seveas, so wat should be the solution
[17:40] <Seveas> Guest35876, hmm no, all gtk apps crash. paste the entire file please
[17:40] <Ascavasaion_> I have hit a blank... ports on a router... tCP and what is the other one?  UDF???  Something like that.  Total blank now.

[17:41] <usr13_> Ascavasaion_: What is the problem?
[17:41] <gordonjcp> Ascavasaion_: udp?
[17:41] <Ascavasaion_> usr13_: Same problem... ports.
[17:41] <djazz> MonkeyDust: the isos are usually public around 16-17 my time

[17:42] <usr13_> Ascavasaion_: Do you have firewall rules blocking ports? Or is it your router?
[17:42] <nshiell> Hi does anyone know about graphics drivers?
[17:42] <gordonjcp> kravion: if you enable VMX in the BIOS it should all be fine
[17:42] <nshiell> I have a serious problem on my pc
[17:42] <Seveas> !anyone | nshiell
[17:42] <gordonjcp> kravion: there's no difference between a VMX and non-VMX kernel
[17:42] <gordonjcp> kravion: or rather, the same kernel is used for both
[17:43] <usr13_> Ascavasaion_: iptables -L |pastebinit #Send resulting URL
[17:43] <greenit> hi, i can't enable the nvidia drivers since a couple of days... it always says "error while trying to enable nvidia driver, see /var/log/jockey.log for details", what can i do?
[17:43] <Ascavasaion_> usr13_: I have done a apt-get remove firestarter now.  then I did a sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 445 -j ACCEPT for each of the ports, 137, 138, 139, and 445.
[17:43] <Solow> I just installed ubuntu n a virtual machine for a friend. I also installed openssh-server, but I can not ssh in his box. I'm getting a connection refused. Does anyone know what could be the cause?
[17:43] <nshiell> I have an Nvidia card and yesterday I ran an update and the whole X11 system is broken! command line only
[17:44] <nshiell> I got another hard drisk and live bootet ubuntu
[17:44] <nshiell> the live boot worked without nvidia drivers
[17:44] <ClientAlive> does anyone know where the default directory for gnome 3 wallpapers is?

[17:44] <BaldFat> Solow: So ssh into tjhe virtual machine or the virtual machine to you?
[17:44] <Solow> BaldFat: I want to ssh in the virtual machine.
[17:45] <Ascavasaion_> usr13_: No, old habit.
[17:45] <r00t_r0t> ubuntu runs slower then my windows install. i have 2ghz p4? cpu and 750?mbs ram is this normal for a wubi install
[17:45] <Solow> BaldFat: Do I need to change the firewall settings or something?
[17:45] <kravion> gordonjcp: because i'm hitting some issues with xen, if enabling it in the bios solves the problem, then probably the problem is somewhere else and i'll need to google for it... thanks
[17:45] <BaldFat> using virtualbox?
[17:45] <usr13_> Ascavasaion_: It appears that you do not have anything blocked, but just to make sure just clear all.  sudo  iptables -F
[17:46] <gordonjcp> kravion: xen won't work worth a toss if VMX is disabled
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> r00t_r0t: which video chip?
[17:46] <BaldFat> Solow: Virtualbox?
[17:46] <nshiell> hi can anyone help with Nvidia X11 issue?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: whats the issue?

I have no idea how to correct this :( ! Please help! Thanks

[17:48] <Solow> BaldFat: I didn't read it yet.

[17:51] <DarkStar1> sudo shutdown -h now doesn't work. I actually need to put a time value for it to work

[18:03] <nshiell> not sure how to get help, i have posted twice in the forums, created one ubuntu bug report and asked 3 times here for my issue, am i nagging yet?
[18:03] <nshiell> *sorry for being rude*
[18:04] <bob____> i did and when i log on the dash is there! can not get rid of the %^&%&^ thing.
[18:04] <nshiell> bob do u mean the launcher on the left?

[18:05] <Libertytrader> Hi, I have a Lenovo U310 and the Webcam audio isn't detected as an input, what information would be relevant for troubleshooting?
[18:05] <nshiell> the dash is what u get when u press the windows (super) key
[18:05] <PeterME_> From the Software center
[18:05] <nshiell> log out and there is an option to select which enviroment shell u want
[18:05] <nshiell> gnome shell unity etc
[18:05] <PeterME_> I have an odd problem though
[18:05] <bob____> pressing super key does nothing but open the dash
[18:05] <nshiell> there should be a cairo dock option (weas for me)
[18:05] <Guest35876> Seveas, restart it .. still i'm facing the same problem
[18:05] <PeterME_> After I followed this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/411850/after-installing-ubuntu-how-do-i-get-rid-of-unity-and-go-back-to-gnome to remove Unity
[18:06] <Guest35876> Seveas, and the new file not created
[18:06] <PeterME_> And now after upgrading to the 12.10 beta my WM doesn't appear to start any longer..
[18:06] <bob____> yes, there is a cario dock option in log on,,but the dash is still there,,that's the problem also does not hide
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> PeterME_: Quantal isn't supported here yet

[18:08] <nshiell> I then installed ubuntu to another had disk and now the graphics dont work, no dual head, slow performance, should i try loading proprietary drivers again into my new install?
[18:09] <nshiell> Plz help
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: uninstall the driver for nvidia then reinstall it
[18:09] <nshiell> did my issue get posted into the forums?
[18:09] <nshiell> chat window
[18:09] <FloodBot1> nshiell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:09] <nshiell> i tried on my old ubuntu install, didn't work
[18:09] <nshiell> thing that i dont understand is how comes the graphics where ok when ruinning ubuntu off the cd?
[18:10] <Guest35876> Seveas, nothing fishy found
[18:10] <nshiell> i had dual head _without_ drivers
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: the open source drivers are in use on the liveCD, not the proprietary driver
[18:10] <ramos> Anyone here using a Webcam? If so what model do you recommend. I want to be able to access it from my smartphone?
[18:11] <nshiell> can i get the opensource drivvers on my new ubuntu install?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | ramos
[18:11] <jrib> Guest35876: still here!?  You've checked df -h to make sure the /home partition isn't full?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: they are in a default install
[18:11] <Elvano_> When I boot my system I get the error he can't find the file libc.so.6. I've already tried copying the file back from an old clone, but without result. Can anyone help me on this, please?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Elvano_: can you boot to root recovery mode
[18:12] <nshiell> actionparsnip so how comes my secondary monitor isnt working now and i have bad performance?
[18:12] <Elvano_> I can not, ActionParsnip
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: you probably have half installed driver, remove the nvidia packages (not nvidia-common) then rinstall the nvidia-current package once they are all gone
[18:12] <Guest35876> jrib, i have 8GB free in ubuntu
[18:13] <adami1097> HELP
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Elvano_: then you can boot to live CD and possibly chroot from that to help the system
[18:13] <nshiell> actionp this is a new install, i nuked my old install trying in vein to fix it
[18:13] <adami1097> How will I make a backup of my server
[18:13] <jrib> Guest35876: if you have a separate partition for /home, it could be full and you'd still have 8gb free on another partition.  You should check df -h
[18:14] <Elvano_> Already running live CD, what's scrooting? @ ActionParsnip
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> !backup | adami1097
[18:14] <Joost> I tried merging mp3s, so I tried cat * >> combination.mp3
[18:14] <Joost> It worked like a charm
[18:15] <Joost> But the ID3 tags seem messed..
[18:15] <adami1097> nvm
[18:15] <Guest35876> jrib, i dont create separate partition for /home .
[18:15] <Joost> anyone have any better ideas to do that, so that other software is able to see the length properly? :p
[18:15] <jrib> ok
[18:15] <nshiell> actionparsnip do u need propertary drivers for my nvidia card to work correctly on 1?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Elvano_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   just replace 'bind' with '--bind' in the guide, once you run the chroot command the commands you run will be ran on the installed OS
[18:15] <jrib> Guest35876: proceed then :)  Just a thought
[18:15] <adami1097> Now I  gotta remember the urnrealirc dir
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: I believe the open drivers will work on 1 display
[18:16] <Guest35876> Seveas, any solution
[18:16] <nshiell> weird how i could get 2 displays working on the live cd about 2 hrs ago
[18:16] <Guest35876> jrib, do you know the files created at login time
[18:17] <jrib> Guest35876: what about them?
[18:17] <adami1097> jrib what is the command to remove
[18:17] <adami1097> like rm -rf
[18:17] <Elvano_> Is it my Grub which is the problem, ActionParsnip?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: I don't use dual displays so can't really say, if it works then it works
[18:17] <nshiell> actionparsnip im worried that installing the proprietary drivers will break this install too
[18:17] <RidDrib> How to start my x graphic in ubuntu server?
[18:18] <Guest35876> i heard that "there r some file which are created at login time. if we delete those i can get by chance"
[18:18] <nshiell> its so frustrating when ubuntu breaks and no one knows what to do
[18:18] <Guest35876> jrib,  i heard that "there r some file which are created at login time. if we delete those i can get by chance"
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: get the proprietary drivers out and see how it goes
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: you can see what drivers are around with:  dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[18:19] <nshiell> i usually goto the drivers app
[18:19] <nshiell> and select the current one
[18:19] <jrib> Guest35876: when you create a new user, can you login?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: use the command I gave and you can see the packages installed
[18:19] <nshiell> ok 1min
[18:19] <adami1097> ??
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: or run:  sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common | awk {'print $2'}`
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> nshiell: will remove the packages

[18:22] <adami1097> jrib what is the rm-rf remove command?
[18:23] <jrib> adami1097: to remove what?  rm -rf PATH    will remove PATH

[18:24] <adami1097> 
[18:24] <jrib> Guest35876: nah, you can just move your oldusers dotfiles to some directory like ~/dotfiles and they'll be recreated automatically
[18:24] <ClientAlive> gnome 3 on my desktop is missing a lot of stuff. I don't have workspaces, I don't have a clock in the upper bar/ panel. What is missing for me to have that? Is there something I need to install?
[18:25] <adami1097>  3198 ircd

[18:25] <adami1097> in my top -b -n 1
[18:25] <adami1097> how do I remove it
[18:25] <pentagon> would be very hard to rip out avahi on a desktop system and  install isc-dhcp-client ?
[18:25] <ClientAlive> Actually, it seems to be a different gnome 3 than the one on my lappy. This one, you can't remove the solitart game or a few other items or it will remove gnome completely.
[18:26] <jrib> adami1097: you can use "stop SERVICE" where SERVICE is the name of the service responsible for the ircd :x
[18:26] <adami1097> ok
[18:26] <adami1097> stop: Unknown job: ircd
[18:26] <adami1097> I needed to delete it to free the ram

[18:30] <greenit> help, my nvidia drivers have disabled themselves and when i want to enable them, jockey says it has an error
[18:30] <edora> one more que icannot able to copy video files from cd/dvd on ubuntu why?
[18:32] <ianp> ClientAlive: I heard gnome 3 wasn't received very well... are you using stock gnome 3? you might try MATE or Cinnamon
[18:32] <ianp> I'm not very experienced honestly but i gathered that from reading the web lately
[18:32] <ikonia> ClientAlive: I'd advise you to ignore what ianp is saying
 by defsult they all are in gnome desktop do a fresh install
[18:32] <ikonia> ClientAlive: he's suggesting using totally unsuported software that is not designed for ubuntu, but borrowed from another ubuntu-style OS
 installing gnome shell from ubuntu official repo do fine job and better stability
[18:34] <ikonia> edora: I didn't say it wouldn't but your statement does depend on the user liking gnome-shell

[18:34] <snwh> can someone answer me the 32-bit vs 64-bit question for Ubuntu?
[18:34] <snwh> I've used both and don't particularly notice the difference -is using 64-bit beneficial
[18:34] <Kara_M_> Hi everyone.  I am on Ubuntu with the windows installer, using a gforce9800gt, when I log into Ubuntu I am getting a funky graphics problem, and I can't see anything to check for graphics drivers
[18:34] <r00t_r0t> ubuntu runs slower then my windows install. i have 2ghz p4? cpu and 750?mbs ram is this normal for a wubi install
[18:34] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: it's probably your graphics card configuration
[18:34] <edora> yes and they are talking about that i think
[18:35] <adami1097> jrib?
[18:35] <r00t_r0t> ikonia, how would i fix that?
[18:35] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: I personally don't like wubi installs, I don't believe they run well and (in my view only) should be avoided
[18:35] <jrib> adami1097: yes?
[18:35] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: it depends on what video card you have and how well it's supported and your current setup
[18:35] <adami1097> jrib why can I still connect to my irc server when I have deleted unreal
 video card?
[18:35] <ikonia> edora: yes, video card
[18:36] <adami1097> also why did my memory decrease
[18:36] <edora> what is role of that here?
[18:36] <jrib> adami1097: you said yourself ircd is still running
[18:36] <adami1097> yeah
[18:36] <adami1097> but how as I deleted the dir
[18:36] <r00t_r0t> ikonia, i have no blank cds so i cant do a normal install. And all my money goes to my kid and wife,i cant aford to waste money on cd's/flash drives.
[18:36] <ClientAlive> ikonia: edora: guys, it's cool. I thought abotu cinnamon and other variants but decided I'd rather have the stock gnome 3 and build up from there. What I really want is for it to be the same on both computers. One computer is 32 bit and the other is 64 (not sure if that makes a diff). I'm pretty sure I got a different gnome on the desktop though. I have tried reinstalling on the desktop but get the same result.
[18:36] <ikonia> edora: what ?  user has asked why his machine appears slow, I've stated it's most likely a visual thing from his video card being poorly configured
[18:36] <ikonia> edora: why are you asking what a "video" card has to do with thiat, it's pretty obvious
[18:36] <edora> if  you have one as per required then nothing you need
[18:37] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: that's your choice,
[18:37] <adami1097>  3083 ircd      15   0  6604 2692 1248 S  0.0  1.0   0:02.64 ircd
[18:37] <adami1097> jrib ^
[18:37] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: I didn't ask for a life story or reason, you asked if this was common with wubi - I gave my opinion
[18:37] <r00t_r0t> ikonia, do i detremine what video card im using and what can be done to fix it.
[18:37] <mtl1> Hi. Anyone around at all familiar with iscsi?
[18:37] <adami1097> do I need to reboot server?
[18:37] <ikonia> edora: what ?
[18:37] <r00t_r0t> ikonia, sorry,most people always tell me i should just buy some blank cd's or a usb.lol.
[18:37] <jrib> adami1097: sure, reboot the server
[18:38] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: I don't care what you do, it's your machine, your call, no judgment
[18:38] <edora> oh yes but it also depends what u configured on ubuntu
[18:38] <adami1097> I mean for it to dissapear?
[18:38] <ikonia> edora: I suggest you stop talking if you are trying to say this about a video card
[18:38] <jrib> adami1097: you don't need to, but that would make it disappear (assuming you've uninstalled it (which should have also made it disappear))
[18:38] <adami1097> jrib how
 yes you r rit but 760 of ram may be reason
[18:38] <jrib> adami1097: how what?

[18:41] <r00t_r0t> How^
[18:41] <ikonia> r00t_r0t: lspci will list your video card, depending on what card it is, that will determain your options

[18:42] <ikonia> edora: ????? where has this come from, if you have a problem - explain it

[18:55] <Cell> no errors
[18:56] <Cell> jagginess: when it starts up the entire update center screen is just blank
[18:56] <xangua> aslan: right clic>properties>mark it as executable...as the message says
[18:56] <IdleOne> Cell: try running software center from the terminal to see what output it gives
[18:56] <jagginess> !wine
[18:56] <Cell> what is the command for that, IdleOne?
[18:56] <IdleOne> software-center
[18:57] <aslan> xangua, Thanks for your valuable reply, let me try it please wait.
[18:57] <Cell> It shows some output but no errors
[18:57] <Cell> the last line of output is  softwarecenter.db.pkginfo_impl.aptcache - INFO - aptcache.open()
[18:57] <IdleOne> Cell: still has the blank screen ?
[18:58] <Cell> yup
[18:58] <IdleOne> Cell: sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center
[18:58] <andryk> Yes. In keyboard settings there many variants - but all of them switch layouts by cycle. I my situation, I need to make active first layout when I press ctrl+1, second when I press ctrl+2 and third when ctrl+3
[18:58] <aslan> xangua, Thank  verymuch you it's working now.
[18:59] <ryan_> hi
[18:59] <andryk> I have tried using setxkbmap <layout> and shortcuts to it, but it works in worng way
[18:59] <ryan_> Guys I'm having problema
[19:00] <ryan_> &problems*
[19:00] <Cell> IdleOne: now when it starts up I see the menu and the top bar (installed, etc.) but the content area is still blank and the mouse is stuck on the working cursor
[19:00] <ryan_> #ubuntu
[19:00] <IdleOne> Cell: hmm, seems more of a graphics issue
[19:01] <IdleOne> ryan_: ask your question and if someone can they will help
[19:01] <Cell> I dont understand what would cause this, it was running fine. Then a week ago every day update manager was updating something new, and as of yesterday the software center is non functional
[19:01] <IdleOne> Cell: which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[19:02] <Cell> 12.04
[19:02] <ryan_> ok @idleone
[19:02] <Cell> 64 bit
[19:02] <ryan_> I am having problem with connect my webcam?
[19:02] <Cell> the app is definitely hanging because I cant click any part of the menu
[19:03] <jagginess> Cell, soft-center is a problem for everybody (freezes or is very slow at times, so people tend to use synaptic-- but synaptic doesnt connect to the ubuntu store)
[19:03] <kkaaj> How can I find out the real kernel version of the linux-source package? linux-source 3.2.0.32.35 contains the archive linux-source-3.2.0.tar.bz2 which contains the source code of Linux kernel 3.2.30.
[19:04] <IdleOne> Cell: I don't know that I can be of any help but like jagginess suggested you could install synaptic (package manager) and use that for now and report a bug against software center using in terminal: ubuntu-bug software-center
[19:04] <Cell> ok, thanks
[19:04] <jagginess> well it has been reported.. i ithnk they're still working out the freezing bugs
[19:04] <Cell> how do I get synaptic? sudo apt-get install synaptic?
[19:04] <jagginess> yeah
[19:04] <jagginess> and it'll be in the menu after
[19:05] <Cell> cool, thanks for the help
[19:05] <kkaaj> The real linux version is also not part of the package description: apt-cache show linux-source

[19:10] <bekks> pentagon: Is you DHCP server configured to serve hostnames, too?
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> r00t_r0t  wubi is not a 'real' installation, it's inside windows
[19:11] <jagginess> r00t_r0t, wubi means you're running on 1 big file on top of ntfs.. it's not an ideal(or real may i say) linux
[19:12] <jagginess> MonkeyDust, it runs off a file on ntfs, but not from within the Windows OS
[19:13]  * jagginess thinks it's best to try out linux in vmware or virtualbox than wubi
[19:15] <pentagon> bekks: I want to accept the hostname from my isp dhcp server.
[19:15] <prodnix> Hi all, Im lookin for help to get my passthrough ATI VGA card to work in ubuntu 12.10 guest. I have the device in lspci, i have the driver installed (fglrx) and used aticonfig to make a default xorg.conf but I am unable to get the card to work. Everytime I boot the machine i get the popup at boot sayin my devices could not be configured. Any help would be hugely appreciated
[19:16] <pentagon> bekks: It keeps using the name given during install and it is causing problems accepting mail from the internet. Makes postfix config difficult.
[19:17] <bekks> pentagon: So what does that have to do with DHCP then?
[19:17] <[eagle]_> hello people
[19:17] <b0ot> is there a command line way to eject a usb drive that is under /media/foousb
[19:18] <jrog> b0ot: sudo umount /media/foousb
[19:18] <pentagon> bekks: the dhcp client should update the hostname to whatever the isp's dhcp server is giving.
[19:19] <pentagon> bekks: That is what I am trying to acheive at least.
[19:19] <b0ot> jrog, anything you can do without sudo? I'm trying to make this run as a script
[19:19] <[eagle]_> this is my first time here
[19:20] <guntbert> [eagle]_: welcome, Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[19:20] <jrog> b0ot: Actually, sudo is probably not necessary, but it depends on how the drive was mounted in the first place
[19:20] <jrog> b0ot: If you mounted it as a regular user, you should be able to unmount it as a regular user, too.
[19:20] <[eagle]_> guntbert thank alot
[19:21] <[eagle]_> but ihave just download this issir
[19:21] <[eagle]_> and trying to use it
[19:21] <[eagle]_> thanks alot
[19:21] <pentagon> bekks: The server setup does this by default so I am guessing this has to do with avahi maybe.
[19:22] <pentagon> I am making kindof a hybrid server/desktop but the server channel wants me to ask in here.
[19:22] <guntbert> [eagle]_: please keep in mind that this here is a support channel - if you just want to chat use #ubuntu-offtopic  please
[19:22] <bekks> pentagon: avahi has nothing to do with DHCP.
[19:22] <ClientAlive> sorry, someone was telling me that gnome on my desktop is in fallback state and it appears because my kernel is not up to date with the version of my graphics driver. I have no idea how to handle that.
[19:23] <bekks> pentagon: And using DHCP on a postfix setup will most likely cause problems - why dont you use a static IP?
[19:23] <pentagon> Ok, that's it, anyone on the channel knows what they are talking about?
[19:23] <agentgasmask> Hi all. Does anyone know where gnome stores the entries for the main menu? like, what text file are they listed in? If any.
[19:23] <dr_willis> hmm?
[19:23] <jrog> ^ He's running irssi as root?
[19:23] <pentagon> bekks: because the isp's charge extra for a static ip for no reason, why use it
[19:24] <Cell> hybrid server/desktop is like saying you want a hybrid square/circle
[19:24] <dr_willis> agentgasmask:  apps have. .desktop files to define their menu entries
[19:24] <jrog> ClientAlive: What is the output of lspci | grep VGA
[19:24] <usr13_> pentagon: What are you trying to do?

[19:24] <ClientAlive> jrog: one moment
[19:24] <agentgasmask> dr_willis: ok, great. Do you know what dir they are in?

[19:25] <toshgsh> can i use an external display connected to my laptop and be able to work on both of them without decrease the native resolution?
[19:25] <pentagon> usr13_: To be consice I want my hostname to correspond with the public hostname as you would see in my whois, as opposed to the hostname set during install (generic string).

[19:26] <pentagon> usr13_: I know server edition does this by default , but I am making a hybrid desktop and the servver channel directed me here.
[19:26] <bekks> pentagon: Unless your ISP DHCP offers a specific hostname, you dont have one.

[19:36] <CyclicFlux> I was curious about a couple of things.  Where does ubuntu install the grub2 bootloader by default(on the main system partition), or does it use a specialized boot? And is this answer the same if the system/swap/home are on an LVM volume group?
[19:36] <whoever> lrs4mnt: its 3.72
[19:36] <dr_willis> toshiba makea a lot of laptops jpg
[19:37] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: The MBR of the main  HD

[19:37] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: MBR of the primary Hard Drive.
[19:37] <joebar> Hi people , i've got a question , im under ubuntu studio , is it possible to use two audio driver at the same time ?
[19:37] <pentagon> bekks: Ok it does. SO how do I convert my desktop to act just as the server edition.
[19:37] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: The one that boots.
[19:38] <bekks> pentagon: So whats the hostname you get from the DHCP server then?
[19:38] <jpg> indeed. I always had fan problems on 11. now use a macbook g4 for 12 . wondering if satellites ran better.
[19:38] <pentagon> I take it that means turning off avahi and turning on networking service.
[19:38] <CyclicFlux> usr13, I am a bit confused.  Traditionally its is after the mbr, and then has a dedicated partition.
[19:38] <toshgsh> dr_willis: how can i unistall the drivers ?
[19:38] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: no
[19:38] <bekks> pentagon: Forget avahai. It has NOTHING to do with your hostname.
[19:39] <pentagon> bekks: look at my /whois for the third time. When using server edition it grabs that as hostname
[19:39] <CyclicFlux> usr13, so there is by default a separate partition?
[19:39] <bekks> pentagon: The DHCP client configuration is exactly the same using the server edition. So obviously your ISP doesnt offer a hostname using DHCP.
[19:40] <jrog> ClientAlive: How did you install the nvidia drivers?
[19:40] <dr_willis> toshgsh: how did you install them
[19:40] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: MBR consists of 512 or more bytes located in the first sector of the drive.
[19:40] <toshgsh> dr_willis: wrong sorry
[19:40] <joebar> anyone ?
[19:40] <toshgsh> dr_willis: iam trying from the ati panel
[19:40] <bekks> The MBR consists of the first 448 Bytes of the first sector of a hard disk, and is followed by 64 bytes for the primary partition table.
[19:41] <usr13_> CyclicFlux: No, it is not a separate partition.
[19:41] <ClientAlive> jrog: I don't recall now. I had found out that using the nvida drivers (as opposed to the linux ones) was supposed to be better. I found a tute online and followed it.
[19:41] <pentagon> bekks: If I do a server install while connected from network it grabs the hostname in my /whois, but this is a desktop and when I installed I set hostname to a generic string.
[19:41] <jrog> ClientAlive: Okay. You are using the older version of the drivers. You need to update them.
[19:42] <ClientAlive> ok
[19:42] <usr13_> bekks:  The partition table is also in the MBR
[19:42] <pentagon> SO how do I strip that generic string out?
[19:42] <ClientAlive> jrog: It isn't the other way round? That my kernel module is older than the drivers?
[19:42] <mouseclone> I'm having issues with NFS mounts, would this be the correct channel for that?
[19:43] <usr13_> mouseclone: Sure
[19:43] <ClientAlive> jrog: Oh, I suppose that may not matter. I'll look into how to do that when I get back (gotta run an errand right now). Thank you for your help.
[19:43] <CyclicFlux> usr13, thats what I thought.  I am trying to figure out why my Ubuntu install has one(this is my first install---I typically use Gentoo/Arch), and I re-installed Ubuntu12.04.  From there, I was not able to boot after the fact.  No less, I don't see much info on it.  I used boot-repair, and then it oddly enough changed my 'set root' in the grub2 menu-entry for msdos
[19:43] <CyclicFlux> Its kinda weird
[19:44] <jrog> ClientAlive: No problem. (The kernel module is the driver, by the way; the issue is that your client is looking for a later one, presumably because you have updated the kernel but not the driver/module itself.)
[19:44] <jrog> ClientAlive: Here are two links that may be helpful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/173721/kernel-updated-how-do-i-update-my-nvidia-modules and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:45] <mouseclone> ok, The trouble I'm having is getting the NFS mount to not hang the system. I'm able to get it mounted, but after trying to right any data to it, it just lags the system to the point where it will not unmount the nfs. Even a simple 'ls' command can cause the issue.
[19:45] <alecb> I'm trying to get ndiswrapper working but it's telling me "Hardware present: no", though I'm pretty sure I'm using the right drivers for my card (realtek RTL8188CE). any ideas on what might be wrong?
[19:45] <jrog> The latter link has a directly link to the binary drivers which you can install manually, though it may be better to do it using the Ubuntu tools (apt-get or the "Additional Drivers" dialog) if that's available to you
[19:45] <GaryDev> Hi :) I'm not a linux expert.. we are running 10 LTS version, with upstart as the main system startup.

[20:01] <toshgsh> usr13_: why do you say that?
[20:02] <usr13_> I dono.  It just poped into my head.
[20:02] <Froward>  I"m not saying Ubuntu killed the battery in my laptop. But before I installed ubuntu, I got ~an hour of battery with the wifi off. Now I don't get half that.
[20:02] <james_> new to xubuntu how do i install plugins for parole to play mp3,avi,flv etc
[20:02] <toshgsh> usr13_: i can use both of them in windows
[20:02] <Jemmy> Hii
[20:02] <usr13_> Froward: what did you do before?
[20:03] <usr13_> toshgsh: Did you try xrandr ?
[20:03] <james_> new to xubuntu how do i install plugins for parole to play mp3,avi,flv etc
[20:03] <bondj> i just recommend anyone to never ever play around with the "bins" package. 1080 bitches kept me awake all afternoon.
[20:03] <toshgsh> usr13_: no but i dont know how can i apply in this configuration
[20:04] <OerHeks> Froward disable desktop effects, saves a lot of energy
[20:04] <usr13_> james_: Same way as you did in Ubuntu.
[20:04] <Froward> OerHeks: even when I boot into windows! it's cray cra.
[20:04] <OerHeks> Froward then it is not an ubuntu-issue
[20:04] <bondj> now i got dat optimized gallery
[20:05] <unsobill> whats the command on ubuntu to view USB-to-serial adapters
[20:05] <usr13_> toshgsh: Open a terminal window, type xrandr  #Hit enter.  Read what it says.  Go from there....
[20:06] <Froward> OerHeks: I think linux's battery management may have killed my battery, though. I dunno, maybe it's in the BIOS or whatever.
[20:06] <toshgsh> usr13_: i can see the supported resolutions of each screen
[20:06] <snwh> I have my root partition on one disk and home partition on another; how would I configure the installer do a clean upgrade of root (and not overwrite /home)?
[20:06] <usr13_> toshgsh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution  #This site looks interesting.
[20:07] <OerHeks> Froward .. or windows did, but highly unlikely one OS did.
[20:07] <usr13_> toshgsh: Yea, from there, you should be able to figure out a suitable command to output to the other monitor.
[20:07] <james_> usr13:am new to linux
[20:07] <jrog> snwh: Tell the installer to use the partition that you use for /home as /home but not to format it
[20:07] <usr13_> james_: What plugin is it?
[20:07] <toshgsh> usr13_:can you help me to do this cause i have a job later
[20:08] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr | pastebinit
[20:08] <usr13_> toshgsh: If I can see what you see, maybe I can figure it out.
[20:08] <james_> usr13_that to play mp3,avi,flv,
[20:08] <unsobill> Any1 knows how to view USB device ?
[20:08] <snwh> jrog, thanks I was thinking that but I wanted to check just in case
[20:09] <toshgsh> usr13_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231098/
[20:09] <jrog> snwh: Yep, no problem
[20:09] <guntbert> unsobill: lsusb
[20:09] <bekks> unsobill: lsusb
[20:09] <unsobill> thanx
[20:10] <alecb> jrog: d/c again, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231077/
[20:10] <usr13_> james_: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras ; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-addons
[20:10] <unsobill> bekks, guntbert, and then how can i map where my USB adapters mounted on?
[20:10] <unsobill> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
[20:10] <unsobill> this is what i have
[20:11] <pentagon> How do I strip out the static hostname and let my dhcp server assign the machines hostname?
[20:11] <guntbert> unsobill: mount will tell you, or you can look into dmesg
[20:11] <unsobill> i need final result to look like this : 3002:telnet:0:/dev/???? 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner
[20:11] <james_> usr13_: ok will try right away
[20:11] <unsobill> instead of ???? i need to know which usb will be there
[20:11] <unsobill> i try mount
[20:12] <unsobill> mount only filesystem - dmsesg too messy
[20:13] <alecb_> jrog: not sure if you got the last message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231077/
[20:13] <unsobill> guys that command i was looking for
[20:13] <unsobill> was
[20:14] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output CRT2  1440x900
[20:14] <unsobill> lshw
[20:14] <unsobill> lshw - shor
[20:14] <unsobill> lshw - short
[20:14] <usr13_> toshgsh: See if that works.
[20:14] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output CRT2 --mode 1440x900
[20:15] <jrog> alecb_: I didn't. Thanks, I'll check that.
[20:15] <toshgsh> usr13_ : works as?
[20:15] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output CRT2 -s 1440x900
[20:15] <usr13_> toshgsh: Did it work?
[20:15] <toshgsh> usr13_: it just gives me help with commands
[20:16] <usr13_> toshgsh: Try the last one first.
[20:16] <toshgsh> usr13_: nothing
[20:16] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr -display CRT2 -s 1440x900
[20:16] <jrog> alecb_: Can you also paste the output of "lspci -k | grep -i network -C 3
[20:17] <toshgsh> usr13_ : Can't open display CRT2
[20:17] <erictr1ck> how can add a java app to the system tray whitelist?
[20:17] <lrs4mnt> whoever: Almost installed. I'm very sorry it took so long, but my internet is just really slow :(
[20:18] <alecb_> jrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231109/
[20:19] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr -display DFP1 -s 1440x900
[20:19] <jrog> alecb_: Thanks. All of this shows that your wireless card is currently using the default Linux drivers that are supposed to support it. Have you tried using those?
[20:19] <toshgsh> usr13_ : same cant open DFPI
[20:19] <toshgsh> usr13_:also right now i dont use the laptop display ..
[20:20] <toshgsh> usr13_:iam using the other oen
[20:20] <jrog> alecb_: Either way, if you are going to use ndiswrapper with the wireless card, you will need to stop those drivers from using the card.
[20:20] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --rate 59.9
[20:21] <toshgsh> try it with lvds?
[20:21] <usr13_> toshgsh:   See if that works   ^^^^^^
[20:22] <toshgsh> warning: output VGA1 not found; ignoring
[20:23] <alecb_> jrog: I get connections drops on public wifi too often to be usable with the current drivers
[20:23] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 --rate 59.9
[20:23] <jrog> alecb_: Okay. Well, as I said, to use ndiswrapper you will have to disable those drivers.
[20:23] <clynamen> does someone know where menu create with alacarte are stored?
[20:23] <alecb_> alecb_: so before I do anything with ndiswrapper I should just modprobe -r rtl8192ce ?
[20:23] <toshgsh> usr13_: ohh same
[20:24] <jrog> usr13_: toshgsh: I missed part of your conversation, so want to make sure... Did you check the output of "xrandr" (by itself, without quotes) to see the display identifiers that are available?
[20:24] <toshgsh> usr13_: the lvds is the laptop display
[20:24] <lrs4mnt> whoever: Yes you were right, no specific file type can be selected.
[20:24] <usr13_> jrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231098/
[20:24] <toshgsh> the laptop display native res is 1366x768  not 1440x900
[20:25] <toshgsh> but it seems
[20:25] <toshgsh> nothing works
[20:25] <toshgsh> ...
[20:25] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900 --rate 59.9
[20:25] <james_> usr13_:why do i get this message in terminal (: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:25] <james_> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[20:25] <james_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:25] <james_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?)
[20:25] <toshgsh> warning: output VGA not found; ignoring
[20:25] <jrog> usr13_: Okay, thanks. Only wanted to make sure these suggestions weren't simply guesses at the identifiers :)
[20:25] <usr13_> james_: Because you forgot to use sudo
[20:25] <jrog> alecb_: Yes.
[20:26] <jrog> alecb_: If it works after doing that, you can permanently blacklist that module.
[20:26] <zykotick9> usr13_: nope, sudo was used, but another package manager might be own
[20:26] <zykotick9> usr13_: s/own/open/
[20:26] <usr13_> jrog: Oh, they are guesses allright!  (Your input is welcome.)
[20:26] <jerng> hi all! ffmpeg / encoding problem: get stream via wget, trying to encode it on-the-fly using ffmpeg... tried to pipe output of wget into ffmpeg, but ffmpeg stops encoding after several seconds. any ideas? thx!
[20:26] <usr13_> zykotick9: Yes could be
[20:26] <jrog> alecb_: To be safe, you shouldn't only modprobe -r the specific driver, but the other modules that are using it (shown in the earlier output of the lsmod command you used). modprobe will tel you it's in use, otherwise.
[20:27] <jrog> usr13_: My input would be the same as the input you've given so far, I think!
[20:27] <usr13_> james_: If you have a package manager app open, you will have to wait untill you're finished with it and close it before attempting to install xubuntu-extras*
[20:27] <unsobill> Is dev/sr0 is my serial port - how to find out for sure ?? thanks
[20:28] <guntbert> unsobill: that usually a CD drive
[20:28] <james_> usr13_: i use sudo but still same message e.g. : Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:28] <james_> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[20:28] <james_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:28] <james_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[20:28] <jrog> alecb_: This might be helpful; it tells you about removing/blacklisting the Linux drivers for devices before using ndiswrapper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:28] <unsobill> guntbert, is there definite answer on where is my serial port :D
[20:28] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --rate 59.9
[20:28] <toshgsh> not found
[20:29] <usr13_> toshgsh: You do have the other monitor connected now, right?
[20:29] <usr13_> and turned on?
[20:29] <toshgsh> usr13_ : iam using the external monitor right now
[20:29] <guntbert> unsobill: they are normally to be found as something like tty....
[20:30] <unsobill> ttys0 ?
[20:30] <usr13_> toshgsh: YOU are USING it?  Wow.  I had the whole  thing backwards.  What exactly are we supposed to be doing here?
[20:30] <unsobill> perhaps ?
[20:30] <yekoms> i login, and find out my / is mounted ReadOnly, what would cause this? and what is used to fix this?
[20:30] <unsobill> i try knocking on that
[20:30] <toshgsh> usr13_ : i said that before that iam using the external monitor right now
[20:30] <usr13_> toshgsh:  I was trying to output to the external monitor.
[20:31] <toshgsh> usr13_ : i want to use both of them
[20:31] <Ycarene> Is there a version of pulseaudio 2.1 that I can install in precise?
[20:31] <toshgsh> yeah i noticed that :P
[20:31] <usr13_> toshgsh: Ok.   So you do not have anything on the internal one? Is that it?
[20:31] <toshgsh> yes
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> !info pulseaudio > Ycarene
[20:31] <toshgsh> but whats the vga1?
[20:31] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output LVDS -s 1440x900
[20:31] <usr13_> no
[20:32] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output LVDS -s 1366x768
[20:32] <usr13_> sorry
[20:32] <unsobill> nah i dont think i have serial port
[20:32] <toshgsh> nothing comes
[20:32] <unsobill> how can i make sure ?
[20:32] <Ycarene> MonkeyDust - ok, sothe answer to my question is ... no?
[20:33] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1366x768 --rate 60.1
[20:33] <MonkeyDust> Ycarene  maybe some ppa, but it's would be unsupported
[20:33] <toshgsh> hmm
[20:34] <toshgsh> i think it works in some way
[20:34] <alecb> jrog: tried it with the rtl mode disabled (lsmod | grep rtl gave no results) and it's still telling me "Hardware found: no"
[20:34] <usr13_> toshgsh: Actually, it may already be feeding to it, just need to switch... let me see.....  Oh...?
[20:34] <alecb> rtl *mod
[20:34] <guntbert> unsobill: usually you run tailf /var/log/syslog   in a terminal window and the you plug/pull your device -  see what happens in the system
[20:34] <usr13_> toshgsh: What do you get?
[20:34] <toshgsh> usr13_: i think that now my laptop using the 1440x900 res
[20:34] <toshgsh> usr13_: its like mirror display
[20:34] <usr13_> toshgsh: What?
[20:35] <ForSpareParts> Using a USB headset (Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000) my sound is abruptly muted when I drop the volume below about 30-40%. Anyone know why?
[20:35] <toshgsh> usr13_: all the actions are in both of displays
[20:35] <ForSpareParts> I've observed the same behavior on two different machines running 12.04.
[20:36] <james_> new to xubuntu does anybody know how to install plugins in parole to play mp3,flv,avi etc
[20:36] <usr13_> toshgsh: Well, I still don't know what your saying.  You will need to elaborate on that just a bit more.
[20:36] <yekoms> my / is mounted ReadOnly, what would cause this? and what is used to fix this?
[20:36] <Akiva-Work> I have this installed on wubi, and ubuntu is running slow in the same way as my xp was running slow. Is this due to the filesystem (ntfs - Its a work computer I found in the corner) perhaps not being defragmented, or that I do not have any dedicated graphics? What is slow is that there is a pause before I do any new task, lasting about 5 seconds. The computer has 2 gigs of ram, and is a core 2 duo. Any ideas?
[20:36] <solid91> Hi everybody. My CD/DVD reader cannot detect any disk, how can i fix it?
[20:36] <mr-rich> How do I use Ubuntu Tweak to set a different background for each virtual desktop?
[20:37] <unsobill> guntbert okay thanks i try that
[20:37] <toshgsh> usr13_: well i want to use the external monitor as a extention of the laptop display
[20:38] <zykotick9> mr-rich: (i don't know the current way) but historically, you used compiz (through ccsm) to manage background/wallpaper (i'd rather doubt it's possible with unity - but i could be WRONG!)
[20:38] <usr13_> toshgsh: Well, that's probably what you were doing before.
[20:38] <toshgsh> usr13_: before?
[20:38] <xangua> mr-rich: you do not use ubuntu tweak for that, you use compiz settings manager; enable the background plugin but remember that with this you can no longer manage the 'desktop' directory from the desktop screen, you'll have to open nautilus
[20:38] <unsobill> i get lots of this guys "hub 2-1:1.0: over-current condition on port 5
[20:38] <toshgsh> usr13_: all my actions are repeated in both displays right now
[20:39] <usr13_> toshgsh: Yes, and there is probably some hot-key or keystoke combination that would have lit up the internal one too, I just don't know what it is.
[20:39] <zykotick9> unsobill: often caused by buggy usb2 drivers... best of luck.
[20:39] <usr13_> toshgsh: Oh, yea, that is the way it is supposed to be.
[20:39] <unsobill> hey guys which
[20:39] <usr13_> toshgsh: Because it is not really a dual head display adapter, it just has two outputs.  (I think.)
[20:40] <unsobill> holdon
[20:40] <mr-rich> zykotick9, xangua: geebus crimminy ... why oh why do they make things so damn difficult to change in Unity ... :(
[20:40] <zykotick9> mr-rich: users aren't meant to customize unity i guess </OT>
[20:40] <usr13_> Someone correct me if I am wrong but..... I think that is the way it works.....
[20:40] <usr13_> I just don't know for sure.
[20:41] <unsobill> my motherboard manual doesnt say anything
[20:41] <unsobill> but which slot on motherboard should i connect serial port
[20:41] <unsobill> i mean serial adapter to motherboard JP slot
[20:41] <zykotick9> mr-rich: fyi the different wallpaper on each desktop was NEVER easy, even in gnome2 ;)
[20:41] <james_> usr13_: my pc freezed so i did a force shutdown, pls give me termimal command for the plugins for parole
[20:41] <toshgsh> usr13_:i dont think so, in windows 7 it has an option for extended monitors
[20:41] <usr13_> unsobill: It's up to you.  Probably doesn't matter.
[20:42] <mr-rich> zykotick9: KDE makes it REAL simple ...
[20:42] <usr13_> toshgsh: Have you actually done it?
[20:42] <toshgsh> yes
[20:42]  * mr-rich ducks pies ...
[20:42] <unsobill> I see JPCOM1
[20:42] <unsobill> can i use that ?
[20:42] <unsobill> thats serial port right ?
[20:42] <zykotick9> mr-rich: kde... puff...
[20:42] <usr13_> toshgsh: Should be info here:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[20:42] <pentagon> Where is the $mail environment variable set ?
[20:43] <zykotick9> mr-rich: but i know you are correct, or way back when i used kde it was anyways.
[20:43] <james_> usr13_: my pc freezed so i did a force shutdown, pls give me termimal command for the plugins for parole
[20:43] <toshgsh> usr13_ : for example you use the laptop display as a primary one and you can go to the other display ( is like an extended one)
[20:43] <Evdb> Hey guys, don't know if anyone remembers me, but if you do, I got Ubuntu working on my MacBook finally ;)
[20:44] <zykotick9> mr-rich: if i where you.  i'd research compiz-wallpaper setting (you use to have to disable nautilus' control of the desktop to make it work - thus on desktop icons)  VERIFY that it doesn't break unity! before you start.  best of luck.
[20:44] <zykotick9> mr-rich: s/thus on/thus no/
[20:45] <Evdb> Can anyone help me to enable Bluetooth on my MacBook? I don't find any fixes :s
[20:45] <Evdb> I see it under settings but can't turn it on
[20:45] <ikonia> Evdb have you even looked if it's a supported device in linux ?
[20:45] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS  #Something like that?
[20:45] <Evdb> Yeah it should be supported
[20:45] <Evdb> Just need to find a working command
[20:45] <ikonia> Evdb why do you say that it "should" be supported
[20:45] <ikonia> Evdb: it either is supported or it's not, which is it
[20:45] <Evdb> The one I've tried didn't work
[20:46] <usr13_> toshgsh: xrandr --output LVDS --left-of VGA   #Or, something like that?
[20:46] <mr-rich> zykotick9: thanks ... I'm running Ununtu as a VM for development ... Kubuntu is my main distro ...
[20:46]  * mr-rich ducks more pies
[20:46] <zykotick9> mr-rich: ;)
[20:46] <Evdb> Umm sorry Ikonia I'm new to Ubuntu so...
[20:46] <ikonia> Evdb: so what ?
[20:47] <root_____> exit
[20:47] <ikonia> Evdb: I asked if you'd checked if it's supported, you said "it should be" I'm asking why you think it should be
[20:47] <ikonia> Evdb: it's either supported or it's not
[20:47] <zykotick9> root_____: multi-fail.  1) ircing as root 2) it's /exit
[20:48] <unsobill> any1 knows why my /dev/ttyUSB0 through ttyUSB4     usb-to-serial adapters not automatically being created after restart
[20:48] <Evdb> On the community page it says it is supported, but in my case it doesn't work 'out of the box'
[20:48] <unsobill> i need to manually connect/disconnect them
[20:48] <ikonia> Evdb which page ?
[20:49] <james_> usr13_:pls give me terminal command for plugins in parole
[20:49] <Evdb> Ikonia https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro9-2/Precise#Bluetooth
[20:49] <unsobill> oh its that usb bug thingy
[20:49] <unsobill> probably
[20:49] <zykotick9> unsobill: does a module get loaded that makes them work?  perhaps you need to tell the system to manually load that module on boot?  just guessing.
[20:49] <ikonia> Evdb: and you have a macbook pro 9.2 ?
[20:49] <unsobill> well whatever creates ttyUSB0 i guess i can insert that in boot somewhere
[20:50] <Evdb> 9,1 actually, don't really know the difference but it's from the newly released ones
[20:50] <zykotick9> unsobill: i doubt that's the module name!
[20:50] <ikonia> Evdb ok - so what bluetooth manager are you using ?
[20:50] <unsobill> im not sure of model name to be honest - it works kinda like plug and play
[20:50] <Evdb> Ikonia do I need to install a bluetooth manager?
[20:50] <zykotick9> unsobill: does "lsusb" from terminal show you?
[20:51] <unsobill> if i connect serial cable to my usb-to-serial adapter - linux will create ttyUSB0
[20:51] <Evdb> Ikonia there's a bluetooth setting bt
[20:51] <ikonia> Evdb: well, you can see it with hcitool
[20:51] <unsobill> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
[20:51] <ikonia> Evdb: let me see if I can find something
[20:51] <unsobill> I have 3 usb-to-serial adapters and one COM port -
[20:51] <unsobill> com port is fixed ;)
[20:51] <usr13_> james_: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras ; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-addons
[20:51] <zykotick9> unsobill: have you searched with that PL2303?
[20:51] <ikonia> Evdb: use this as a basis https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup is't a little dated but should get the ball rolling
[20:51] <unsobill> dmesg search ?
[20:52] <zykotick9> unsobill: no, like online.
[20:52] <Evdb> Ikonia I'll try ;) Thanks
[20:52] <pranjal710> hey, I ssh to a remote server, but it takes a lot of time to ask password. Is there  a way so that it askes for password quickly?

[20:53] <zykotick9> pranjal710: do you run the server?  cause it's eather slow speed, or reverse lookup of some sort.  again, educated guess only!

[20:59] <toshgsh> how can i use an external monitor as an extension of a laptop screen?
[20:59] <zykotick9> pranjal710: sorry.  i've never personally had issues with SSH and slow password prompts (except across slow connections!).  I remember an issue with proftpd (when i used that terrible old FTP) where passwords where slow because of a "freature" you could disable.  but across a LAN, i'd expect password prompts to be almost instant (they are on my LAN anyways ;).  best of luck man.

[21:02] <zykotick9> unsobill: you can more-or-less ignore the "hub 2-1:1.0: over-current condition" if you want!  i've had to rebuild kernels on people's computer to get rid of it - it involved removing the usb2 driver, even though i'd "guess" usb2 worked beforehand.

[21:04] <unsobill> is that helpful ?
[21:04] <abimael> Yes, Thank you All
[21:04] <goddard> any reason why ssh works but not scp?
[21:05] <unsobill> helpful for my system that is ? should i patch it
[21:05] <zykotick9> unsobill: it "might" be.  BUT - i HIGHLY recommend against trying to custom compile your kernel!
[21:05] <unsobill> thats true... its so silly if i unplug-plug cables back TTYUSB0 gets created
[21:06] <zykotick9> unsobill: i'm guessing that's for a 2.6 kernel anyways!  outdated for sure.
[21:06] <unsobill> but if I restart nothing
[21:06] <unsobill> I just cant unplug/plug back in cables after each restart :(
[21:06] <unsobill> maybe soemthing with module load
[21:06] <unsobill> maybe module not being loaded ?
[21:06] <unsobill> where would i check
[21:07] <zykotick9> unsobill: i'd save lsmod's output when it's NOT working, then save lsmod's output when it IS working - is there any difference?  if so, tell ubuntu to lead that additional module on boot.

[21:17] <netzapper> is there a tiling window manager that handles multi-window programs well? I mainly use an IDE all day, and like it fullscreen. But, I also use Blender and GIMP regularly, and they routinely need spare windows. I've tried a couple tiling window managers, and these spare windows are either floated or treated as unrelated to the parent window.
[21:17] <toshgsh> usr13_ : VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series]
[21:17] <james_> usr13_:thanks

[21:18] <afflictolinux> Hey all. My windows box cannot see my ubuntu box on the network (I have shared some folders on the ubuntu box). Why?

[21:21] <Trunkz> how do I do that? :/
[21:21] <jrib> netzapper: there should be a ppa available with it

[21:22] <unsobill> that module not booting up on start

[21:50] <|Anthony|> how can i download a specific file from a package found in the repos? i want to fetch the config files for pulseaudio.
[21:51] <|Anthony|> just a fresh copy of them so i can compare my changes to the baseline
[21:51] <|Anthony|> or do i need to fetch the whole package?
[21:51] <blackshirt> anthony apt-get -d iinstall package-name
[21:52] <|Anthony|> and where will it -d the whole package to?
[21:52] <blackshirt> Its just download the package
[21:52] <OerHeks> |Anthony|, i think there is no config file in the package, it is generated. if you remove ~/.pulse you remove the config, and it will be back again in a second.
[21:52] <blackshirt> -d was for --download-only,not install them
[21:53] <|Anthony|> OerHeks, i was just looking at packages.ubuntu for pulse. it listed the config files. unless it lists the files *created* not included
[21:54] <very> hi, i was here earlier asking why my monitor wasn't detected properly. turned out my vga cable wasn't plugged in correctly.
[21:54] <blackshirt> anthony, sometime the packages contain example of config,but thats was not allways true
[21:54] <toshgsh> usr13_: fuck yeah ive done it
[21:55] <|Anthony|> blackshirt, i know what -d does. lol. but i don't know where they get -d'd (downloaded) to. like the location the dl'd package goes to so i can work with it
[21:55] <toshgsh> usr13_: xaOxaoxaOxaoxaOxaOx
[21:56] <blackshirt> anthony,lol, look at /var/apt/cache/archives... All packages downloaded resides in that dir
[21:56] <|Anthony|> ah k thanks
[21:57] <zykotick9> |Anthony|: (not sure if nic is correct?) whoever blackshirt is talking to.  "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --fix-mixxing foo-package" might restore config files...
[21:57] <toshgsh> usr13_: i've added 2 lines in xorg.conf because the virtual maximum resolution was much lower than the preffered one
[21:57] <zykotick9> s/--fix-mixxing/--fix-missing/  sorry!
[21:58] <blackshirt> anthony, you can install them,or just copy them to yours home dir, extract it, look some config,or look at the postinstall scripts to look what they are configured
[22:00] <Benxyzzy> On Ubuntu Server 12.04, lots of services (apache, mysql etc) 'start up' during boot. I want to stop a service (FAHClient) from doing this. FAHClient doesn't use upstart by the looks of it. I can see symlinks in many of the /etc/rc* directories to /etc/init.d/FAHClient . What is the 'right way' to stop such a service from starting on boot?
[22:01] <jrib> Benxyzzy: use sysv-rc-conf
[22:01] <blackshirt> zykotick9,actually i don't use tab to completely the nic,just for simplicity... :d ...
[22:01] <|Anthony|> got it. thanks sudo apt-get -d --reinstall pulseaudio

[22:03] <Fekkuo> Good evening, guys. Could someone help me out with a little network connection problem?
[22:04] <Fekkuo> *Please.
[22:06] <Benxyzzy> jrib: I don't have sysv-rc-conf installed apparently. Surely Ubuntu has an 'out-of-the-box' method of managing which services run on boot? FAHClient had no problem adding itself to the list of startup services when I installed it...
[22:06] <jrib> Benxyzzy: install sysv-rc-conf.  That's the best way for a user to interact with sysv scripts.  If you want to ignore this advice, then you can just manipulate the links using rm and ln, or use update-rc.d .
[22:07] <Benxyzzy> jrib: Thank-you for your help

[22:22] <rlw980> zykotick9: sorry
[22:22] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, there is no webcam option for audio
[22:22] <Libertytrader> just intel sound and like pulse
[22:22] <rlw980> toshgsh: yeah, but when i go online let's say Facebook for e.g. nothing shows
[22:22] <hanazuki_> are there visual effects in ubuntu 12.04 if so how can i turn them off ??
 in input device what option is checked
[22:23] <riegersn> Are there special cd iso builds for 12.04 for dual boot installation on macbook pro 6,2? I looked on the community docs for macbookpro 6,2/precise but there are no download links.
[22:23] <hanazuki_> because you could turn them of in 11.04
[22:23] <ClientAlive> my computer is basically unuseable after updating a driver. What do I do? I need to use that computer.
[22:23] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, hda intel pch
sound is checked?
[22:23] <Libertytrader> yes
[22:23] <RidDrib> who use the sdk tezin ?
[22:24] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: a driver using "apt-get" or the GUI drivers thing?  uninstall it from cli.
[22:24] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Using Additional Drivers - it was the upgrade version of my graphics drivers (nvidia)
[22:25] <rlw980> toshgsh: guvcview is asking me restart my computer, shall I do it?
[22:25] <ClientAlive> how?
[22:25] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: from cli "dpkg -l | grep nvidia"
[22:25] <toshgsh> rlw980:  what do you mean when you go online in facebook webcam doesnt work
type alsamixer in terminal
then press F6
[22:26] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: did you add a repository or ppa?
[22:26] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, my webcam is "lenovo easycam"
what sound card is checked
[22:26] <rlw980> toshgsh: nothing shows, it's keeps on search for my webcam, do I have to install any drivers or maybe have any wwebcam software to run it
[22:26] <itaylor57> !mint
 in which browser do you open the facebook
[22:26] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, default
 all the meters are up?
[22:27] <rlw980> toshgsh: I'm restart my computer for the software to set it self
[22:27] <Heebie1> Hi.  Does anyone know if there's a channel for help with VMM/KVM?
[22:27] <Libertytrader> all except s/pdif
[22:27] <toshgsh> rlw980: okay reboot its good
[22:27] <zykotick9> !alis | Heebie1
[22:27] <pentagon> Looking at these examples https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples the 12.04 example doesnt work, so I am thinking maybe the alternate cd uses iso linux similar to Parted majic example, any help ?
[22:28] <zykotick9> Heebie1: what's VMM and by KVM do you mean Kernel Virtual Machine or Keyboard Video Mouse?
[22:28] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: I don't recall adding any repository. The initial issue was with gnome. We had determined it wasn't diplaying correctly because I needed to update my graphics driver. Additional Drivers inidcated two choces (both to do with nvidia drivers). One was the regular (current version) and it would fail installation. The other was the (current version updates). It installed but left my system as I described before (boot into a tty).
[22:29] <Heebie1> zykotick9: Kernel Virtual Machine with VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) in Ubuntu 12.04. (Win XP is BSOD'ing.. trying to figure out why.)
 lets try another software,maybe this is the problem
 sudo apt-get install guvcview
[22:29] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: well, if i where you.  i'd find the package name for that "current version updates" and remove it.  for starters.  then find out why the old driver was failing.
[22:29] <Libertytrader> i have been try using guvcview
[22:29] <zykotick9> Heebie1: is VMM a gui front end for kvm then?
[22:30] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: output of that command gives 5 items listed, including a "-common" a "-current" a "-current-updates" a "-settings" and a "-settings-updates"
[22:30] <Heebie1> zykotick9: Yes, it's the default manager for KVM and QEMU virtualisation.
 wait
[22:30] <zykotick9> Heebie1: FYI, the #kvm won't support it.  neither will i.  best of luck.
[22:30] <rlw980> toshgsh: back
[22:31] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Ok, this if fine but if I uninstall it from the comand line what state will that leave my system in?
[22:31] <toshgsh> rlw980: maybe some plugins are required for browser
[22:31] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: purge -current-updates, reboot.  try reinstalling -current, what is the error?
[22:31] <rlw980> toshgsh: I can't, haven't you heard
[22:31] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: first!  "lscpi | grep -i vga"
 do you have a microphone?
[22:31] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: is this an older card?
[22:32] <toshgsh> rlw980: why you cant?
[22:32] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: ok, I see it.
[22:32] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: this is a machine built about 8 mos ago from brand new parts (at the time)
[22:32] <rlw980> toshgsh: I can't remember somthing about java virus I think
[22:32] <rlw980> toshgsh: It was on the news
[22:33] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: my card is a: GF108 (GeForce GT 440)
[22:33] <rlw980> toshgsh: by the way, my webcam is a EyeToy
[22:34] <toshgsh> rlw980: news?
[22:34] <kickingvegas> random q: anybody here have ubuntu 12 installed on Asus x401a? Thinking about getting one
[22:35] <rlw980> toshgsh: don't worry about it now
[22:35] <frey> Hi. Do you know of a way to work with the virtual desktops from the console in Ubuntu 12.04? I've tried both xdotool and wmctrl, they both show only one virtual desktop, but I can move around like I have 4.
[22:35] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: so what does happen when you install -current?  295.40-0ubuntu1.1 "looks" like it should work with your card?
[22:35] <rlw980> toshgsh: my webcam is eyetoy
[22:35] <zalzane> how do I make a terminal program get run on startup using CLI
[22:36] <toshgsh> rlw980:yeah copy that
[22:36] <zykotick9> zalzane: " run on startup using CLI" is rather unclear.  could you reword it?  or be more specific?
[22:36] <rlw980> toshgsh: what can I do
[22:36] <zalzane> im using awesomewm and want a program (wicd-curses) to run when awesome starts
[22:36] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: To begin with I had the open source drivers and I think they worked ok. What I want to be sure is if I remove this nvidia driver it doen't leave me with no driver at all.
[22:36] <andrewh192> I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting my Win-TV internal tuner card to be recognized...
[22:36] <zalzane> everyone keeps telling me to use rc.local but thats run when the system is booted
[22:37] <toshgsh> rlw980:i didnt use facebook webcam
[22:37] <toshgsh> rlw980:did you try skype?
[22:37] <jrib> zalzane: you should ask #awesome on irc.oftc.net.  They can probably give you the best advice
[22:37] <zalzane> okay thanks
[22:37] <rlw980> toshgsh: Shall do now, for you buddy
[22:38] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: TIP!  if you mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.disabled nvidia-propritary WONT work!
[22:38] <andrewh192> does anyone here have any information on installing a Win-TV hauupage internal tv tuner card into a ubuntu linux computer?
[22:38] <frey> How can I change the virtual desktop settings in 12.04?
[22:38] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Well, I don't understand that. I'm sorry.
[22:39] <zykotick9> andrewh192: does "lspci | grep -i video" show a Conexant chip?
[22:39] <frey> It seems like I have a huge virtual desktop that spans 4 desktop sizes.
[22:39] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: to disable nvidia propritary driver - rename one file.  /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else.
 do you know how to find if microphone is properly working?
[22:40] <andrewh192> zykotick9: yep
 maybe the microphone is muted
[22:41] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: xorg.conf is not even used by ubuntu 12.04 I thought. A freshly installed system doesn't not even have an xorg.conf unless you create one.
[22:41] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: maybe the nvidia driver creates it, because I don't think I ever did.
[22:42] <zykotick9> andrewh192: look for boot errors about missing firmware (sorry i can't guide you there - but that was step1 to getting my hauppauge card to work)  you might be able to install some package, which i've forgotten the name of... sorry.
[22:42] <andrewh192> zykotick9: do i just need to uninstall tvtime and reinstall it and go through the setup process with the card actually in the computer this time.....? would that work ya think?
 in alsamixer if you press F4(capture) you can see if the meters are up
[22:43] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" creates it!  and it's more or less a requirement for nvidia-propritary to run!
[22:43] <zykotick9> andrewh192: sorry, i've never used tvtime :(  i'm no help.
 if you can see the bars the you have microphone connected and is working
[22:43] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: I see
[22:44] <toshgsh> rlw980: any progress?
[22:44] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Well I read somewhere that unless one had removed the open source drivers they should still be there. [fingers crossed - no more bad stuff] ha ha
[22:44] <rlw980> toshgsh: Nope buddy, Just comes up with a green screen
[22:44] <andrewh192> zykotick9: hmmmm
[22:44] <andrewh192> zykotick9: ok, thanx
[22:45] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, no movement whatsoever on alsamixer
[22:45] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: did a mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disable and then rebooted. Still logs into tty session
 when you press F4 you can anything here?
[22:45] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: you need to look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for lines with EE
[22:45] <Libertytrader> toshgsh, i just have intel audio
[22:46] <toshgsh> rlw980: in video devices what do you see
[22:46] <toshgsh> rlw980: in skype
[22:46] <trippy_1> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Optiplex GX280 and a GX520. However, the text on the screen appears to be distorted (unreadable). I've updated all the graphics drivers but the issue still continues. Can anyone offer any help as to why this is occuring?
 type F5 can you see anything about Internal Mc or external or capture?
[22:47] <zykotick9> trippy_1: what's the output of "lspci | grep -i vga"
[22:47] <toshgsh> rlw980: in the section that says: select a webcam
[22:48] <frey> Is it just me or is Unity worse the Gnome 3 when it comes to customizing it? Is there no way to change the virtual desktop settings? :S
[22:48] <zykotick9> !ot | frey
[22:48] <frey> zykotick9, hah, thanks.
[22:48] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Ouput (after renaming that file) is here. What does it mean?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231333/
[22:48] <rlw980> toshgsh: EyeToy USB camera Namtai (/dev/video0)
[22:48] <trippy_1> zykotick9 - I will run the command, give me a moment.
[22:49] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: try running "ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf" is there output?
[22:49] <trippy_1> VGA comptible controller: intel corp 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[22:50] <toshgsh> rlw980: working on that
[22:50] <rlw980> toshgsh: working on what?
[22:50] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: no such file or directory
[22:50] <zykotick9> trippy_1: followup "lspci -v | grep -i vga" does it list 2 cards?
[22:51] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: good.  and you rebooted right?
[22:51] <toshgsh> rlw980: on the problem it seems that eye toy webcam arent supported either in windows or skype
[22:51] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: yes this is after reboot as well
[22:51] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: but the original problem still persists
[22:52] <rlw980> toshgsh: right, can I use it has a Webcam or not pal
[22:52] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: is nvidia still installed?  "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" have rc beside everything or ii (installed)?
[22:52] <trippy_1> It loks like anohter try to my previous one
[22:52] <trippy_1> it says (prog -if 00 [VGA Controller])
[22:52] <c001> I'm on an Ubuntu 12.10 drive and I want to load Ubuntu 10.04.4, whiping out this 12.10 system.  Is that possible to do while booted up into 12.10?  This laptop doesn't have a cdrom.
[22:53] <trippy_1> so in total it says: VGA comptible controller: intel corp 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[22:53] <zykotick9> trippy_1: sorry the grep might not be working right.  could you run "lspci -v" and find the VGA section, and see if two cards are listed?
[22:53] <wilee-nilee> c001, no
[22:53] <c001> k
[22:53] <toshgsh> rlw980: tell me your os
[22:53] <pentagon> I think I might be getting it.
[22:54] <rlw980> toshgsh: Ok, it's Zorin 6 Core 32
[22:54] <trippy_1> zykotick9 - It loosk like its listing to cards to me.
[22:54] <pentagon> usr13_: can you explain the boot=casper variable in the grub2/bootiso examples
[22:54] <trippy_1> 2 entries are in there for the graphics controller
[22:54] <trippy_1> Do you want to see the output?
[22:54] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Output of dpkg -l | grep nvidia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231342/   There is a noteable difference from before I renamed that file and rebooted. Before doing that, trying to use pastbinit I would get "could not open a display" Now pastbinit works.
[22:54] <zykotick9> !paste | trippy_1
[22:54] <rlw980> toshgsh: But it's running of Ubuntu 12.04
[22:55] <trippy_1> Ah zykotick9 thanks I will paste using those instructions.
[22:55] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: ii means those are installed still
[22:55] <trippy_1> That's so not to trigger a post flood right?
[22:55] <pentagon> I have to install a server edition to see how it pulls the hostname from dhcp and imitate it on the desktop system.
[22:55] <V39ana> hi all
[22:56] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: pastebinit isn't an Xorg program, must have been something else...
[22:57] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: so what's my soln? If changing the file name is supposed to disable them and having changed the file name they are disabled. If being disabled my problem persists, then what will be the result of removing them?
[22:57] <thomi> Anyone know how, in bash, I can capture the return code of a command in a variable, similar to ``? I'd normally use $?, but the script has 'set -e', so that doesn't work...
[22:57] <jrib> thomi: try #bash
[22:57] <thomi> jrib: ta
[22:58] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: what happens if you "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and reboot?  with only -current installed?
[22:58] <trippy_1> zykotick9 give me a moment trying to cpoyh the output on a usb stick
[22:58] <toshgsh> rlw980: go to this location and open it via gedit /home/user/.Skype/skype-user/config.xml
[22:58] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: one moment
[22:59] <toshgsh> rlw980: but first backup the file before making any changed
[22:59] <toshgsh> rlw980: but first backup the file before making any changes
[22:59] <trippy_1> I put on the post via the web.

[23:00] <trippy_1> Here is the address - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231346/plain/
[23:00] <trippy_1> Do you believe it's two conflicitng video drivers?
[23:00] <dlirit> just burned my iso of 12.04 64bit and at the 'install ubuntu alongside Windows 7' dialog
[23:00] <zykotick9> trippy_1: :( not working here
[23:01] <dlirit> I'm prompted to allocate space by dragging the divider, though it doesn't say which divider side is which OS...
[23:01] <trippy_1> I can dropbox it for you in a txt e-mail it to you.
[23:01] <rlw980> toshgsh: will this work, If i go on cam on the internet
[23:01] <alusion> Ubuntu, how do I convert an MKV to avi or dvd format quickly?
[23:01] <dlirit> any ideas on that?
[23:01] <trippy_1> or msg you?
[23:01] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: before I reboot...  Issuing that command, first it printed "WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file." Then it printed: "New X configruation file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'   --is that normal?
[23:01] <zykotick9> trippy_1: sorry, working now - just needed to remove /plain/
[23:01] <trippy_1> ah sorry my bad.
[23:02] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: normal.
[23:02] <toshgsh> rlw980:i dont know yet we 'll try if this work only on skype
[23:02] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: rebooting then...
[23:02] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: fyi you still have both drivers installed, so not sure this will work.
[23:03] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, YOU can do a manual install if you go back and choose something else and be sure of whats going on.
[23:03] <faLUCE> hi. with rc.local, I start a daemon which has to launch, at a certain time a script which runs a x11 application (vlc) .  In the script I wrote "DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc foo.avi" but the vlc screen doesn't appear. what's wrong?
[23:03] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: ok, np. I'm glad you're helping me figure it out. Truth is I don't have time right now to learn all about it. I'm supposed to be working right now (on that computer).
[23:03] <toshgsh> rlw980:when you tell all the apps available to the internet i dont yet because it seems that the eyetoy is not mainly used like a webcam and this is the reason isnt supported from many websites
[23:03] <toshgsh> i dont know yet*
[23:03] <rlw980> toshgsh: Ok, where do I go first, to terminal
[23:04] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: Initial login is tty session
[23:04] <toshgsh> rlw980: go to the skype folder
[23:05] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: yeah I know. what file system does ubuntu install by default (automatically)? lvm or what?
[23:05] <toshgsh> rlw980: then go to your account folder
[23:05] <zykotick9> ClientAlive: :(  sorry man.
[23:05] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, ext4
[23:06] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: and whats the partition scheme?
[23:06] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, ext4
[23:06] <wilee-nilee> is the partition tyhpe
[23:06] <wilee-nilee> type*
[23:06] <michelle_> hi
[23:06] <trippy_1> zykotick9 did you see the output?
[23:07] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: right. and the partitions scheme? i.e: /boot, /, /home, etc... any ideas?
[23:07] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, you want a swap as well, so make sure you know the limitations of primaries as in the amount, and what a extended partition is.
[23:07] <toshgsh> rlw980: ..
[23:07] <zykotick9> trippy_1: ya sorry, was distracted for a while but searchin on your issue now.  you only have 1 video card, it isn't a hybrid.
[23:07] <Praxi> so I just SSH to a ubuntu server, it told me /boot is 96% full, looking at all the stuff in there, how do I know what I can delete?
[23:07] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, I just use one ext4 for the OS and I don't use a swap personally.
[23:08] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: regarding the automatic partitioning of 'install ubuntu alongside windows 7' - I think the left side is the win7 and right side is the 'recommended' Linux partition... can you confirm?
[23:08] <trippy_1> zykotick9 correct only one video card, intergrated, that's all.
[23:08] <toshgsh> rlw980: cd ~/.Skype
[23:08] <zykotick9> trippy_1: have you seen this?  looks brutal!  still searching http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1907702
[23:08] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, Not really I never use a auto install
[23:08] <dlirit> ah
[23:09] <dlirit> alrighty then
[23:09] <trippy_1> I will give it a read.
[23:09] <trippy_1> I haven't
[23:09] <dlirit> I'll go manual :)
[23:09] <wilee-nilee> I would if I could dlirit ;)
[23:09] <toshgsh> rlw980: type this in  terminal
[23:09] <toshgsh> rlw980: cd ~/.Skype
[23:09] <toshgsh> rlw980: are you in the directory
[23:09] <toshgsh> ?
[23:10] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, Is this W7?
[23:10] <rlw980> toshgsh: Sorry internet connection went
[23:10] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: yep
[23:10] <toshgsh> rlw980: cd ~/.Skype
[23:10] <trippy_1> zykotick9 these are very specfic commands for monitors.. do you think the monitor I am using may be the issue?
[23:10] <ClientAlive> zykotick9: np. Thanks for trying
[23:11] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, I would resize that windows with its own partitioner leaving a unallocated for ubuntu, just to be safe with the windows and have a clone of it as well.
[23:11] <achandra> drussell, ping
[23:11] <toshgsh> rlw980: ?
[23:11] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: really? that much? I figured the ubuntu installer could take care of that...
[23:11] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, The general consensus is let windows 7 resize for safety.
[23:12] <Praxi> ahh no one? no easy way to tell what I can delete from /boot to free up space on /boot? :(
[23:12] <intel1> can anyone tell me
[23:12] <intel1> if there is a directx replacement ?
[23:12] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, YOu want your ducks in a row, the windows will resize in less then a minute.
[23:12] <zykotick9> trippy_1: this is for natty&oneiric not sure if it still applies?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/805700 but i didn't find anything "good" to suggest - fail for me :(  best of luck man.
[23:12] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: ok then I'll go for that
[23:12] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: I'll google how to resize windows partition
[23:13] <intel1> can anyone tell me
[23:13] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, best insurance you can have are backups and a clone is the best in my book.
[23:13] <intel1> if there is a directx replacement ?
[23:13] <intel1> ?
[23:13] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, IT has a built in partitioner it has a right click resize.
[23:13] <zykotick9> trippy_1: it's not the monitor.
[23:14] <jordanm> intel1: opengl+openal
[23:14] <trippy_1> Good.. Because I can't replace it. I got 15 Optiplex from a business for charity so im mstuck with these
[23:14] <drussell> achandra: pong :o)
[23:14] <intel1> jordanm: can u tell me form where i can download this , please
[23:14] <achandra> drussell, see personal message here
[23:14] <trippy_1> I'll give it a read thank you!
[23:15] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/
[23:15] <dlirit> yep, thanks :)
[23:15] <dlirit> can ext4 be resized easily too?
[23:16] <jordanm> intel1: opengl bindings are implemented by your graphics driver, you already have them
[23:16] <jordanm> intel1: (assuming your graphics card supports it)
[23:16] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, The ext type partitions are resizable easily with gparted, but only made in linux, so have a unallocated and the auto install will put ubuntu there.
[23:17] <dlirit> k
[23:17] <dlirit> thanks
[23:17] <rlw980> toshgsh:done?
[23:17] <toshgsh> rlw980: done what?
[23:17] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, no problem, you want to be aware though of max amounts of partitions and types allowed on a single HD is all.
[23:17] <toshgsh> rlw980: type in terminal
[23:18] <toshgsh> rlw980: cd ~/.Skype
[23:18] <toshgsh> rlw980: better type cd ~/.Skype/yourskypename
[23:19] <Deluxor> ~guy can someone help me with this: http://pastebin.com/AvECKere   it redirects anyway, i think loop is wrong
[23:19] <toshgsh> rlw980: are you in?
[23:19] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, Some manufacturers have 4 primary partitions already that is the max, on a single HD, and the windows partitioner may not show them all at times gparted in ubuntu will though.
[23:20] <intel1> jordanm : i was trying to play my fav online game
[23:20] <intel1> i did all it requier
[23:20] <intel1> in ubuntu
[23:20] <intel1> but its say that the Direct3d should be fixed
[23:20] <Praxi> direct3d = windows
[23:21] <intel1> praxi : i C
[23:21] <trippy_1> Where can I get this install mesa-util from?
[23:21] <intel1> praxi : so there is no way 2 play it ?
[23:21] <Daekdroom> Running DirectX games under Wine (or any Windows application, to be honest) is not granted to work.
[23:21] <OerHeks> intel1, that is an wine question
[23:21] <Daekdroom> !appdb
[23:22] <SFUser> Ok, so I have a usb drive with ubuntu server 12.04.01 connected to my server, it MUST be a usb because I do not have physial access to the machine (using a kvm) and they do not have a CD on location.  I am trying to redo my instillation after a corrupt file system but every thing related to running off this usb is just so painfully slow.  Is there a way to fix this?  I am at the first menu now.
[23:22] <intel1> i c , so let is gaming 4 windows
[23:22] <Praxi> yup wine is your best bet, whats the wine fork made fo rgaming that costs money?  cedega?
[23:22] <Guest49691> alguem fala português aki ????
[23:22] <intel1> i hope this fixed soon , and ubuntu and the whole linux distrubitions be able to run .exe files under SAND BOX
[23:23] <Guest49691> lol
[23:23] <intel1> SAND BOX , is away to limit collecting and gaining and editing and modifing informaion
[23:23] <OerHeks> !pt | Guest49691
[23:23] <SFUser> Is there a way to (from this menu) dump the contents of the usb into a ramdrive and relaunch the system from that?
[23:23] <Guest49691> #Ubuntu-br
[23:23] <Guest49691> quit
[23:24] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: silly disk management tool in win7 gives me wrong 'shrink size'... shrinking only by 50gb where as I see 183gb free space, go figure
[23:25] <intel1> C U guys
[23:26] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, you may need to do a defrag to the front of the disc, that is why you should use it if the resize is done in ubuntu you can brick the windows if the wrong files are moved, it is a possibility.
[23:27] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, There are 3rd party defraggers that will move all the files to the front of the disc, hold on I will find the one I have used.
[23:28] <trippy_1> zykotick9 - How can I add somthing to the kernel boot option?
[23:28] <trippy_1> The site says I can add a trigger to turn off acpi
[23:28] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: I actually defragged it earlier (then zeroed out the 'free space' and shrunk a virtualbox vm vdi file)
[23:28] <dlirit> wilee-nilee: just analyzed the disk and it's 0% fragmented
[23:29] <zykotick9> trippy_1: /etc/default/grub
[23:29] <trippy_1> zykotick9 - I took down the resolution of the monitor, that was a recommendation as well. I am going to see if that helps
[23:31] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, Rught but the files are spread away from the front of the disc, especially the unmovable files this partitioner will move them get the pro free for short use version.  http://www.raxco.com/home/
[23:32] <zykotick9> trippy_1: that first link was a nightmare (manually setting montiors resolution and sync can potentially be dangerous to hardware BTW)
[23:32] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, YOu can use the windows partitioner twice as well I believe and do basically the same thing at times, it just limits the resize, if the files are spread around, I have used the 3rd party to just move them all at once.
[23:33] <dlirit> k will look into it
[23:33] <paco_> is there any way to convert my i365 to a 64 bit ubuntu... my machine is 64 bit but I do not why several months a go I installed i365 instead of the 64 bit platform
[23:33] <boldfilter> Is there anyway to lower the gamma in ubuntu?
[23:34] <zykotick9> paco_: reinstall
[23:34] <wilee-nilee> dlirit, And back it up and have a install or recovery disc, you can make one recovery disc from the backup app to use a a repair tool like reloading the mbr or triggereing the recovery partition if you have one, a tool you got to have really.
[23:35] <zykotick9> paco_: unless you have 4+GB RAM AND/OR you doing tons of encoding video/media.  stick with 32bit.
[23:35] <DaemonicApathy> When it comes to defragging in Windows, I usually use Defraggler.
[23:36] <rlw980> toshgsh: I'm really sorry
[23:36] <faLUCE> hi. I modified /etc/environment and added some dirs to $PATH variable. Now, if I place executables in these dirs, I can execute them without specifying the complete path (as a normal user). Now: how can I do the same with root user? (ubuntu)
[23:36] <toshgsh> rlw980: haahahhah :P
[23:36] <boldfilter> I dont always defrag my hardrive, but when I do I use Defragger
[23:36] <rlw980> toshgsh:Damm, Internet connection =P
[23:36] <Lasivian> anyone tried to get Arduino 0023 to run on 12.04?
[23:37] <zykotick9> faLUCE: bad idea modifiying roots path!  why are you usuing root account anyways?
[23:37] <toshgsh> rlw980: type in terminal cd ~/.Skype/yourskypename
[23:37] <toshgsh> rlw980: are you in>
[23:37] <faLUCE> zykotick9: I have under control all. how can I modify them?
[23:38] <rlw980> toshgsh: yes ]
[23:38] <faLUCE> zykotick9: I have under control all. how can I modify it?
[23:38] <toshgsh> rlw980: can you see config.xml?
[23:39] <faLUCE> otherewise, how can I assign to a script maximum privileges even if executed as a normal user?
[23:39] <veryhappy> hey guys have 2 ideas that i want to realize: 1) my one computer shall become a computer for terrestrial television, programmable vdr and save the files in a file format that doesn't take so much space while it has a good quality and shall also give me the possibility to access every channel over other pcs so that i can choose which channel i want to see and can access them over streams to...
[23:39] <veryhappy> ...other pcs. 2) i have an old pentium 3 that still works very fine and i want to install ubuntu and have a vnc access to it already from the beginning with the Xserver. perhaps it's also possible to set the wireless connection up to always come back as soon the wireless stick finds the network. Thank you.
[23:39] <toshgsh> rlw980: backup up time somewhere
[23:39] <toshgsh> rlw980: backup up this somewhere
[23:39] <rlw980> toshgsh: back up what?
[23:39] <toshgsh> rlw980: the config.xml
[23:40] <toshgsh> rlw980: copy the the thing
[23:41] <rlw980> toshgsh: wooo slow yeah mate, I'm rusing now ;-)
[23:42] <Lasivian> how can I figure out which /dev items are which hardware items?
[23:43] <toshgsh> rlw980: when you copy that thing then open the config.xml with sudo gedit to be able to edit it brb in 2.5 mins
[23:43] <Lasivian> I need to give a non-root user access to the usb (serial) ports but I don;t know which ones those are
[23:43] <rlw980> toshgsh: right ok, matey
[23:43] <paco_> is there any way to convert my i365 to a 64 bit ubuntu... my machine is 64 bit but I do not why several months a go I installed i365 instead of the 64 bit platform
[23:43] <veryhappy> Lasivian: can't you enter it in the groups ?
[23:44] <trippy_1> switching the resolution did not work, I added an ACPI=off tag in the grub
[23:44] <trippy_1> so lt's seehow that goes
[23:44] <zykotick9> paco_: no 32->64bit upgrade exists.  you need to reinstall if you want to switch.
[23:45] <Lasivian> veryhappy: I'm trying to follow this: http://blog.markloiseau.com/2012/05/install-arduino-ubuntu/ and it's line "sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0" does not work on my notebook, so i'm guessing my ports use different names
[23:45] <Lasivian> and i'm furhter guessing there is a list someplace I can reference, or check when I plug soemthing in, tho dmesg does not give that info
[23:45] <zykotick9> Lasivian: fyi that chmod would only work until a reboot, useless solution really.
[23:45] <veryhappy> Lasivian: at which section are you now?
[23:45] <Lasivian> figures, back to square 1
[23:46] <Lasivian> veryhappy: serial port is greyed out, seems the user has no access
[23:46] <Lasivian> tho of course the software won;t compile anything but that's a different disaster
[23:46] <toshgsh> rlw980: okay..
[23:46] <bkovacs> Question. I have a single 500GB hardrive. I want to dualboot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 , but mainly use Ubuntu as main os. Now for Windows I will use that for photo editing so I will be working on some large files. How much should I give Ubuntu. 140GB or 160GB.
[23:46] <toshgsh> rlw980: are you in the file?
[23:47] <DaemonicApathy> bkovacs: Doesn't matter, you can access Windows storage from Ubuntu.
[23:48] <veryhappy> Lasivian: install "librxtx-java", "arduino-core" and "arduino" and it should work.
[23:49] <toshgsh>  DaemonicApathy:the question is for ubuntu, he cant access the the ubuntu files from windows
[23:49] <zykotick9> Lasivian: to get serial access your users probably need to be in the dialout group!  see http://dereenigne.org/linux/debianubuntu-serial-port-access
[23:49] <Lasivian> veryhappy: those are all at the newest version
[23:49] <zykotick9> Lasivian: remember you have to log out and back in to change group membership!
[23:49] <Lasivian> zykotick9: the user already shows as being in the dialout group
[23:49] <bkovacs> So 140GB will be fine. I do plan on installing quite  a few apps with in Ubuntu. I do have a 2TB external, and may get more internal storage. Not sure yet.
[23:49] <zykotick9> Lasivian: oh, nevermind then :)
[23:50] <toshgsh> bkovacs:you can create a ntfs partition so you can store all the files here
[23:50] <Lasivian> i'm sure much of this is tied to having to use the 0023 version of the arduino software
[23:50] <DaemonicApathy> toshgsh: if he's using Ubuntu as the main OS, that shouldn't be an issue. Besides, there are some very nice programs to read a linux partition from Windows.
[23:50] <veryhappy> i hope you can get arduino running after my hint
[23:50] <OerHeks> bkovacs, 140 gb - 4.3 gb standard ubuntu = 135,7 gb left.
[23:50] <Lasivian> veryhappy: hint?
[23:50] <toshgsh>  DaemonicApathy:yeah but maybe sometime this can be an issue
[23:51] <Akiva-Work> can a switch be plugged into a router, or can a router only plug into a switch?
[23:51] <DaemonicApathy> Akiva-Work: either works.
[23:51] <veryhappy> Lasivian: sorry, i thought it was an advice
[23:52] <toshgsh>  DaemonicApathy bkovacs: i think its better to create a seperate ntfs partition to be able to access it from both os
[23:52] <Lasivian> veryhappy: the current version of arduino is 1.0.1 and it won;t work with my hardware :)
[23:52] <bkovacs> So 150GB
[23:52] <veryhappy> Lasivian: ok, i don't have so much knowledge in arduino
[23:52] <Lasivian> veryhappy: nobody does :)
[23:52] <Akiva-Work> DaemonicApathy: Im at work, and my boss showed me a 16 port gigabit switch, and we are wondering if we can plug it into our router (thats serving as our network) and connect some prehiperals to it (cash registers, that sort of thing
[23:53] <veryhappy> Lasivian: i tried to help tho.
[23:53] <DaemonicApathy> Akiva-Work: A switch and a router are basically the same thing, except routers these days provide wireless access.
[23:53] <Akiva-Work> ie, should work :)
[23:53] <DaemonicApathy> Akiva-Work: is the router also gigabit?
[23:53] <Akiva-Work> yes in fact
[23:54] <DaemonicApathy> Then yeah, flip a coin.
[23:54] <veryhappy> Akiva-Work: but doesn't a router actually "route" the informations, while a switch only distributes the same information?
[23:54] <DaemonicApathy> ...
[23:54] <Akiva-Work> veryhappy: I don't know
[23:55] <bkovacs> toshgsh I understand what you are saying, but I'm never sure how many applications I will install. I thought a 40GB partition was good on ubuntu till I was reaching almost 40% root when I dualbooted before. If I do get an extra internal, it will be NTFS for data.
[23:55] <Akiva-Work> DaemonicApathy: Is this correct?
[23:55] <DaemonicApathy> Wireless router = switch + wireless.
[23:55] <DaemonicApathy> In fact, what we now call switches, we used to call..."routers".
[23:55] <Akiva-Work> really?
[23:55] <DaemonicApathy> Yeah.
[23:55] <veryhappy> Akiva-Work: i don't want to be a wiseass but i had this all in my education.
[23:56] <OerHeks> A switch extends the router ports
[23:56] <Akiva-Work> veryhappy: Well, if I tell my boss the wrong thing, it won't matter who was being wise :P
[23:56] <DaemonicApathy> OerHeks: thanks, that's a good way to put it.
[23:56] <veryhappy> Akiva-Work: ok. :D
[23:56] <veryhappy> now has anyone already a recommendation to my stuff that i wrote?
[23:58] <Akiva-Work> DaemonicApathy: veryhappy: OerHeks: SO! Our setup currently is 7 computers attached to one router, getting internet from it. We want to plug in order pickers, but need more ports; This gigabit switch will allow this?
[23:58] <veryhappy> Akiva-Work: yes, it will extend the ports
[23:59] <DaemonicApathy> Yeah, and after a brief refresher, I've deduced that I'm spoiled, and have run into people who lied to me about the complicated stuff. Safe bet is to put the switch into the router, and work that way.
[23:59] <OerHeks> Akiva-Work, sure.
[23:59] <Akiva-Work> My kindest regards; My next step is to try to convince my entire company to switch to ubuntu. Wish me luck :)
