[00:01] I changed the kernel version to an older one [00:05] 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] does anyone here have experience troubleshooting FTP servers on ubuntu 12.04 [00:11] djhenjin, what the problem was happened? And what ftp server you are using now? === luist_ is now known as luist [00:12] 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] 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] mrojas6996: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Audio_track [00:13] what the error said? [00:13] pastie of interaction log in filezilla http://pastebin.com/0rY7FSRE [00:14] ive even tried SFTP with no avail [00:14] 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] wait a minute [00:16] DJHenjin, have you checked the response? libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work [00:16] i have checked it but thats where im stumped [00:18] i dont know what that means exactly [00:18] 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] i did the apt-file search but i dont get any results wth [00:21] DJHenjin, then you mistyped something [00:21] okay yeah now ive got a bunch of results [00:22] all the packages it listed have a local path to libgcc_s.so.1 [00:23] hi [00:23] 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] well theres a whole bunch of packages listed, how the heck do i choose which one to use [00:24] tricks on getting photoshop onto linux? Because ya know, linux should be so awesome there MUST be a way to do it [00:25] jen__, check out gimp [00:26] can I code directly in the terminal ? example "for var in 1 2 3 4 5 ..

[00:29] this is on the server [00:30] 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] anyone willing to help me figure out how to compile/install the Terminus font for Xubuntu? [00:31] but I say the truth! [00:31] my CD is original, have music original in CDA format [00:32] adric: terminus is packaged in the repositories. Use your favorite package manager [00:32] didn't know that. thanks. [00:33] im 99.999% positive its a server side issue [00:33] DJHenjin, sorry, i have no clue then. have you tried googling the error message? [00:33] and my Lubuntu read the CDA files from my CD like WAV [00:33] jen__, you could try to make it work with wine [00:33] i have tried googling about a millioin things [00:35] software firewall isnt blocking, i cant even use FTP with a net2ftp install on the server itself [00:36] I just restarted and now my desktop icons are huge; wtf [00:36] they are like 2" wide [00:36] how do i fix the size of my desktop icons; wtf === fisted_ is now known as fisted [00:36] i'm back [00:37] DJHenjin, sounds like something is borked [00:37] 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] is there a vsFTPD IRC channel [00:37] djhenjin, are working on server now?

After install, everyone works well, except that the cooler doesn't stop and my machive is overheating as time passes. I would like reccomendations to configure the driver please. I am using ubuntu 12.04 [00:44] you are damn lucky it works at all [00:44] !next [00:44] nevermind [00:45] goodbye guys i connected on sftp [00:45] DJHenjin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126625/libgcc-s-so-1-must-be-installed-for-pthread-cancel-to-work have you checked that out? [00:45] oh heh [00:45] [00:47] . === RMB2 is now known as Like2HelpU [00:49] is there a less restrictive form of rbash or an alternative? [00:49] ciao a tutti!|!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [00:49] was that directed at me? [00:50] yes [00:50] this shit sucks [00:51] sacrebleu: is the user specifically using rbash or bash -r? [00:52] SolarisBoy: they are the same? user is using rbash [00:52] 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] sacrebleu: possibly updating his shell to simply bash will work? [00:52] chsh -s /bin/bash (as user) [00:52] SolarisBoy: but I'm afraid he'll traverse the directories and delete things [00:52] what is chsh -s etc [00:53] sacrebleu: traverse what directories? things above his $HOME? or below? [00:53] above $HOME [00:53] i think some of the web stuff is world readable [00:53] and writeable [00:53] you can chroot [00:54] chroot? [00:54] yes - its like a sandbox in which the user only has access to that location [00:54] is this used in place of rbash? [00:54] so then he thinks / is $HOME or wheverever you chroot him too [00:55] sacrebleu: afaik no - possibly wouldn't need it in that case [00:55] i'm cornfused by chroots --help === IboS_ is now known as IboS [00:56] 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] are you users that complex? [00:56] dought it [00:56] no but he's so uncomplicated he might experiment === zhengyi1 is now known as zhengyi [00:57] well honestly - he needs to have a talk with the sec dev or something [00:57] how exactly would you use chroot to do this for a user?

[00:59] looking for a how to [01:01] Hi all [01:01] having some problems with Steam on Wine [01:02] sacrebleu: you can read over this for guidance - it seems a little outdated - i believe the jailkit thing works [01:02] they also mention why not to use rbash [01:02] brb [01:03] you can manually do it but its likely better to use some automation tool to do the steps properly [01:03] Hello. [01:03] I'm trying to install Chrome, I downloaded the 64bit .deb, but I'm not sure what to do next. [01:03] Domincii: try PlayOnLinux? [01:04] Shazer[2]: sudo dpkg -i [01:04] Shazer[2], sudo dpkg -i deb.file.here.deb [01:04] yep - assuming its in your current directory else use full path - or cd to the location first [01:05] anyone know how to boot a system *without* mounting a root fs? [01:06] Thanks furry and SolarisBoy [01:06] RedFaun, use a LiveCD? [01:07] redfaun, what you mean? [01:08] phunyguy, I need to run a command on a non mounted *root* fs (as in btrfstune) [01:09] RedFaun, I dont follow, why cant you use a LiveCD? [01:09] chroot it [01:09] RedFaun: you can use a live cd and chroot into the root [01:09] * SolarisBoy how redundant was that =( [01:10] I need to run the command on the / partition and the boot into it [01:10] 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] I need to run the command on the / partition and then* boot into it [01:10] RedFaun: ^^ [01:11] SolarisBoy, Reading you comments thanks [01:11] 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] sure [01:11] redfaun, exactly i'm confused what do you need... Some advices have been given [01:12] hello [01:12] hello battlefield [01:12] my pc [01:12] a HP G42-270la [01:12] have a problem [01:13] whit the wifi [01:13] blackshirt [01:13] why update manager always slow and staying at 5k ?

[01:14] battlefield, what the wifi chips on your laptop? [01:14] two bandwidth intensive things _may_ fight in the right situations.. [01:14] 1m [01:14] 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] what i meant was the connection allow me to watch movie but [01:15] i hace a hp g42-270la [01:15] battlefield: are you sure it's not your Internet Service Provider? [01:15] How do I generate & compile ASM code? [01:15] seems the solution is for me to rebuild my initrd with the command included! [01:15] it won't update even if nothing else is using the internet [01:16] thanks anyway peeps [01:16] yes guy, because, there is other pc and dont have the problem [01:16] msg mmnicolas hey [01:16] leaftwig: generate with a text editor you can run with nasm i believe [01:17] tomtomtom, find your fastest mirror > http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line [01:17] tomtomtom: do you see any error or just a rate of 5k steady?

[01:17] 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] have you tested dns/ip during those times battlefield ? [01:18] solaris boy [01:18] I wont dare to go change other source that would take foreveer just to download the list [01:18] nope [01:18] battlefield: you should check that - to ensure - and also ensure if the issue is local or externally [01:18] for example, i am in facebook, suddendly dont charge the page [01:19] battlefield: also check your logs (dmesg, messages) and check your ifconfig counters for errors [01:19] battlefield: i've seen that happen.. [01:19] with the internet working [01:19] as far as that goes is there a better channel anyone can suggest for this question? [01:19] and say who there is internet [01:19] and i try re conect but i dont cant [01:20] you need to check your logs and things i asked =) [01:20] if there is an issue reconnecting over and over wont fix it [01:20] SolarisBoy: i dont know how do this [01:20] I'm running htop and I have a command "(unlinkd)" running what is it? [01:20] SolarisBoy what jailkit [01:21] [01:21] 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] SolarisBoy: you speack spanish? [01:21] sacrebleu: what is jailkit? an automation tool for chrooting user [01:22] battlefield: no [01:22] how cna i determine if ISPConfig is installed [01:23] sacrebleu: dpkg -l '*ispconfig*' [01:23] if thats is indeed what you looking for [01:23] you will see installed packages begin with "ii" [01:23] SolarisBoy: i use terminal [01:23] battlefield: nice me too [01:24] i must use terminal for this? [01:24] 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] Please guide [01:24] 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] sigh? why do you make me log into ubuntu domain? uh battlefield [01:25] 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] lol [01:26] anyway, the princess is on another channel [01:26] 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] i am a few noob on linux [01:26] thats ok [01:26] you can do either way thats comfy for you - thats whats cool about linux [01:26] just go to #ubuntu-es [01:26] network-manager is a program? [01:27] I know this will be unpopular, but how can I disable unity's menubars? [01:27] 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] 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] I want the now-useless gray bar at the top to go away [01:27] 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] [01:28] battlefield: just do ifconfig -a the errors aren't shown there now that i actually checked [01:28] network-manager-gnome? [01:28] 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] if not - thats probably a non issue - then you can check elsewher [01:29] 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] solaris [01:30] no error [01:30] yes? [01:30] yes guy [01:30] Any *guesses* at my problem would be highly appreciated. [01:30] ¿use metwork-manager?= === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:30] lets check if Solaris patience is enough to not become angry with battlefield questions [01:30] ldlework: do you have a layer 2 link on the wired interface? [01:30] * liznevada runs [01:31] SolarisBoy, how do I check that? [01:31] with mii-tool or ethool - miitool is deprecated but probably installed so you can use that [01:31] it will give a non OK message on bad links or weird ones, like wireless [01:31] SolarisBoy, yes, miitool reports a link [01:31] ok cool that was my 2 cents [01:31] fuh. [01:31] lols [01:32] lol [01:32] 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] SolarisBoy, I'm plugged right into the cable modem [01:32] In order to test, I'm going to have to disconnect from here, etc [01:33] ldlework: so wait. [01:33] ldlework: right now your plugged into the modem and online? [01:33] On a Windows machine, correct. [01:33] oh - and did it ever work on ubuntu? [01:34] 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] you may need to reboot your modem - some of them dont like new macs [01:34] yea try to do that.. [01:34] hmm [01:34] reboot the cable modem before unplugging and plugging something new in [01:34] alright then. [01:34] * ldlework will be back. [01:34] :D [01:34] okies [01:34] * SolarisBoy lets see how patient he is if this doesn't work [01:34] brb going to smoke [01:35] solaris [01:35] yes? [01:35] i came back [01:35] XD [01:35] yaay [01:35] ¿what do whit my problem? ¿you know? [01:35] 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] battlefield: have you checked the logs yet? [01:36] nope [01:36] ¿how? [01:36] 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] i said how already [01:36] ill be back [01:36] scroll up [01:37] rebooted my router , yes [01:37] liznevada is my friend, she knows me [01:37] nice [01:37] i aint your friend.

I saw an IP address related to them listed in my NETSTAT --TCP output [01:39] ok, i still speaking english [01:39] They had an ESTABLISHED connection on port 443 [01:39] SolarisBoy [01:39] iFlip: do you run https? [01:39] client connections can show in netstat as well is why i ask [01:40] solaris [01:40] yes battlefield ? [01:40] no, only internally on SABNZBD on port and SickBeard [01:40] ¿intall network.manager? [01:40] iFlip: is the port 443 on the left or right hand side [01:40] I have port forwarding blocked to those two applications [01:40] battlefield: no [01:40] right side [01:40] iFlip: that means your connecting to that web page from somewhere AFAIK [01:41] fucking pc [01:41] Meh my internet is flakey.

[01:41] Does Ubuntu use "FDC Servers" to manage repositories? [01:41] possibly? maybe thats why it's on port 443 [01:42] excuseme [01:42] SolarisBoy, I installed network-config, it showed eth0 as inactive, I turned it on and hit test. [01:42] Here I am. [01:42] 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] solaris [01:42] lol [01:42] if i dont have errors in ifconfig [01:42] ¿why have a problem?

What could be the issue? [01:43] Please guide [01:43] ¿yuo have the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? SolarisBoy [01:43] SolarisBoy: Well if I did netstat --tcp --numeric it would show -- 10.10..xx.xx:60137 50.3.17.146:443 [01:44] iFlip: no. [01:44] 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] mhh, battlefield niether ¡ nor ¿ exist on english [01:44] !behelpful | liznevada [01:44] liznevada: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [01:45] it means you are connecting to them, your ephermeral port 46372 to their port 5222 in my case [01:45] 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] iFlip: i like -pone --tcp this way you see what process is holding the socket and it makes more sense [01:45] i believe who yes [01:46] solaris ¿what is your ubuntu version? [01:46] latest LTS [01:46] So any of you have experienced issues with installing Ubuntu on the Optiplex GX540 or GX220? [01:46] bazhang but, but, its true! [01:46] 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] liznevada, its not helpful, so stop it [01:46] iFlip: makes sense [01:47] are you sure you want to do that? [01:47] ooooooo, liznevada [01:47] ok, ok, my lips are sealed [01:47] So that means I am sending requests to 50.7.13.146?? [01:47] iFlip: correcto [01:48] 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] lols i know you had fun =) [01:49] iFlip: i learned a lot watching tcpdump over the years [01:49] ill tell you - hard learning but pays off [01:49] SolarisBoy: it's like forgetting a semicolon on C [01:49] hahaha [01:49] or a silly tab on python? [01:49] exactly [01:49] solaris [01:50] i have installed network-manager [01:50] 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] i don knew [01:50] XD [01:50] battlefield: why did you do that? i recall saying no [01:50] ooohh, ok, excuseme guy [01:50] SolarisBoy - you like Network Manager? [01:50] 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?

[02:17] Shazer[2]: its where you started the ftp command at [02:17] hey folks [02:17] Shazer[2]: you can also do !ls to confirm AFAIK [02:17] SolarisBoy, thank you! :D [02:17] Shazer[2]: yw [02:17] did you all see the 24-hour marathon the Canonical community team is doing? [02:17] pzn: they are not worth the price or effort of using. 50/50 means they work only half the time. [02:17] SolarisBoy, for what are this pages? [02:17] like my eyes [02:17] battlefield: reading on the problem [02:18] SolarisBoy, vga. but until yesterday it worked. it displayed the correct monitor name and resolutions.

[02:19] hello [02:19] battlefield: read it please [02:19] SolarisBoy, there are automatic upgrades everyday. i'm not sure which were yesterday. [02:19] ok [02:19] i will this [02:19] does anybody know minecraft here [02:19] i guess you should [02:19] SolarisBoy, software upgrades. [02:19] 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] becase is 9 pm in colombia XD [02:19] very: i see - what graphics driver did you do? [02:20] grr *use [02:20] so [02:20] well [02:20] pzn: we use ours with SmartCard authentication over WiFi and it just never seems to be seamless. [02:20] iFlip, ok, got it. do you recommend some notebook for daily use at direct sunlight in places around 40~50celcius? [02:20] ? [02:22] pzn: I would recommend looking into GD-Itronix [02:22] mInecraft [02:22] anybody [02:22] 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] SolarisBoy, i'm not sure. and i'm not sure where to look for it. i'm using an integrated intel controller. [02:22] who you talking to [02:22] very ahh so no special drivers then [02:23] pazn: They offer the best GPS, Outdoor Display, and wireless controllers. Great design too.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:23] 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] very: very possible [02:24] iFlip, thanks for your recommendation. I'll google for it [02:25] pzn: your welcome [02:25] 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] very: possibly ubuntu made a backup when that occured? [02:25] SolarisBoy, [02:25] i will go to study [02:26] okies battlefield have a good one sir [02:26] good morning [02:26] I WAS A BANKER [02:26] i do who say on une of yuor pages [02:26] FAMILY MAN [02:26] perr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:27] one guy says that he updated the driver in windows - and rebooted into ubuntu - and it worked again [02:27] excuse me he updated the card firmware.. [02:27] haaa claro [02:27] well well that was good solarisboy [02:27] and for some reason it is not reachable on the IP Adress where it SHOULD be reachable [02:27] anyone has any suggestions on how to find out the ip adress or gain access to the server in any way? === kreid is now known as backslash [02:28] Are you physically on the network of the server [02:28] AM I A MAD MAN [02:28] TO FOLLOW THE SUN [02:28] I still use Ubuntu 10.04 [02:28] perr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:29] justus: didn't mean to flood you - didn't know if you saw my intention of directing to you [02:29] que pasa con el que esta solo??

[02:30] lol [02:30] 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] just [02:30] bye [02:30] my brain hurts [02:30] well mine too [02:30] good night/morning [02:30] hehe [02:30] its night here [02:30] iFlip: Strike that, I am now physically connected via ethernet cable to the network [02:30] what is the difference between playonlinux and wine? [02:31] ? [02:31] 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] the icon? [02:31] I just want PS...i mean really x-x [02:31] I like wine but let me find out what is playonlinux [02:31] i see now what you mean [02:31] playonlinux [02:31] justus: have you tried arp -a [02:32] -an would actually show the IP's also so u dont have to go resolve the name again =) [02:32] iFlip: I see the router and a "noname" but I can't ping the noname [02:32] get minecraft for free!

[02:34] photoshop is the gimp with a thousand dollar pricetag [02:34] SolarisBoy, do you know of a good LunarPhase applet for Linux? [02:34] gimp > PS [02:35] justus: if you can see the router - what kind is it? [02:35] Asar: hmm good question - nopes that would be cool [02:35] 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] test [02:35] can anyone read this? [02:35] gimp is great. [02:35] and I enjoy it more than Photoshop these days [02:35] SolarisBoy, figured with your name you might know of 1 [02:35] justus: yes we can read [02:35] fuzzylumpkinz: do you have any examples of what you are doing with Photoshop currently? [02:36] ohh im not that fancy [02:36] designbybeck, I use mypaint and Im getting tired of it [02:36] just boring ol SOL (os) [02:36] MyPaint is great!!! [02:36] justus: what kind of router is running the net [02:36] not anything cool like planet surfing. [02:36] designbybeck, and I couldn't figure out how to get just line/paint brushes onto gimp, it was all vector crap [02:36] have you tried Krita fuzzylumpkinz [02:36] gimp is not all vector [02:36] test, does it work again? [02:36] only the path tool and a couple of other things [02:36] othe than that it's all raster [02:37] have you tried Paint Shop for GIMP? [02:37] designbybeck, krita makes me confused [02:37] justus: your text is displaying [02:37] iFlip: sorry, I screwed up the internet connection, did you write anything after 04:32:50? [02:37] fuzzylumpkinz, check darktable > http://www.darktable.org/ & ppa https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/darktable-release-plus [02:37] designbybeck, no i have never heard of it [02:37] yes for vector i use Inkscape [02:37] justus: I was asking what kind of router is running your net [02:37] I think they have Paint shop for 2.8 GIMP now [02:37] trism, hi [02:37] basically taking things from mypaint and the like and mixing it with GIMP [02:37] designbybeck: paint studio? [02:37] hmmmm [02:38] designbybeck, i have 2.6 gimp [02:38] 2.8 is sweet [02:38] justus: Linksys - Netgear - D-Link (I hope not D-Link) - etc [02:38] ah yes SolarisBoy is correct GPS [02:38] http://code.google.com/p/gps-gimp-paint-studio/ [02:38] fuzzylumpkinz: you really need 2.8!!! [02:38] GIMP 2.8 many more features [02:38] iFlip: some fritz box is running in the router position, the network is driven by a 28 port HP switch [02:38] x-x [02:39] booku more features [02:39] and they updated a lot of plugins to work through layers [02:39] For my photography workflow I use Darktable [02:39] http://darktable.org [02:39] gimp 2.8 will be available in ubuntu QQ 12.10 [02:39] then take it to gimp 2.8 for other editing and compositing [02:39] I just draw and do digital painting [02:39] 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] I don't edit photo's [02:40] the only problem i have with gimp is that i'm unable to resize/rotate layers correctly. [02:40] is that a layer 3 switch? [02:40] ah just drawing...gotcha... yeah I can't draw! LOL [02:40] they fixed that very in 2.8 [02:40] i do photography and such [02:40] fuzzylumpkinz: I don't edit photos either - I take em right the first time lol [02:40] fuzzylumpkinz: have you tried Pencil [02:41] also a lot of the default settings people dont put correctly so the sized are always skewed [02:41] like disabling dot for dot etc [02:41] basic drawing with animation? [02:41] iFlip: I believe the problem could be located in my local network settings [02:41] designbybeck, I have pencil [02:41] SolarisBoy, [02:41] and fuzzylumpkinz are you familiar with David Revoy [02:41] 2.8? nice, thank you. i'll try that. currently still using 2.6 [02:41] designbybeck, the lines are crap [02:41] i put this comand [02:41] sudo service Network-manager start [02:41] yes very give it a go [02:41] and i can't upload the animations to DA [02:41] terminal ask me the password [02:41] battlefield: this isn't it im afraid [02:42] 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] battlefield: that would be your password [02:42] afraid? [02:42] i thought it would update automatically. [02:42] and fuzzylumpkinz here is David Revoy's work in case you haven't seen it: http://www.davidrevoy.com/2-portfolio.html [02:42] kk time to lay down [02:42] justus: how can you have a server with two DISTINCTIVELY different subnet masks? [02:43] ok [02:43] 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] iFlip: note the either/or, I'm not sure what it was set to the last time it was running [02:43] very do you have the ppa added [02:43] yeap I suck xD [02:43] if not I would suggest adding the 2.8ppa and then you'll be golden! ;) [02:43] 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] lol that is what I feel like fuzzylumpkinz [02:44] justus: If your server is on a different subnet than your own, you will NEVER access it via any protocol [02:44] designbybeck no ppa. [02:44] iFlip: couldn't I change my subnetmask/ip? [02:44] 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] designbybeck, it still gives me 2.6 from ubuntu software center [02:45] very: any reason you aren't using a ppa? [02:45] iFlip: it's possible afaik [02:45] 2 nics or even on an alias [02:45] not that it's sensible like that but it would work [02:45] assuming they are classful [02:45] fuzzylumpkinz: did you run apt-get update after adding ppa? [02:45] SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:45] after you followed the ppa directionsf or GIMP 2.8 fuzzylumpkinz? [02:45] yes what SolarisBoy said [02:45] 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] oh i thought i was flooding? [02:45] should I just go fetch it from the interwebs then? [02:45] justus: set you computer to DHCP and you should both land on the same subnet [02:45] 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] designbybeck, i just installed ubuntu and installed gimp with the software center. i didn't knew this was a bad idea. [02:45] I deleted gimp 2.6 [02:45] how do i help apt locate that package? =| [02:46] now I want 2.8 [02:46] clumbsy ops [02:46] 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] justus: did this work at one point with out changing settings? [02:46] 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] halllp ;( [02:47] justus: is the server set for DHCP [02:47] yes you should remove it... USC doesn't keep up with new changes and features very [02:47] 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] justus: or is static assigned? [02:47] i see [02:47] iFlip: sadly I forgot my crystal ball ^^ [02:48] justus: if you have access to the server you can check [02:48] justus: so you don't remember how the server handles connecting to a LAN... [02:48] DHCP or static [02:48] where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd ot lubuntu installed m/c [02:48] lord forbid they do vlans... [02:49] iFlip: I do remember how the server was SUPPOSED to handle network connections, it doesn't agree on that with me however ^^ [02:49] very: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp [02:49] word ^^ [02:49] justus: my suggestion would be to connect the server to a simple router and check the DHCP tables [02:49] Greetings, anyone know how to add a second spool for postfix or how the spool works [02:49] where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd or on a lubuntu installed m/c [02:50] okay.. /dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [02:50] iFlip: that has the minor setback of not having a simple router around to test it with :( [02:50] 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] ram: when in doubt "whereis gparted" or "dpkg -L gparted | grep bin" [02:51] justus, plug directly into the machine, bypass a switch or router [02:51] designbybeck so i guess they don't have it for lucid. [02:51] during installation where can i find the same [02:51] ahhh [02:51] justus: that is if you had the server on a Class C subnet prior [02:51] what kinda specs you have very? [02:51] okayokayokayokay here is where I am stuck [02:51] your system very [02:52] what you go fuzzylumpkinz [02:52] hello i want to install android in virtual box but android got a long list of images which one i should download [02:52] iFlip: I allready tried the manual IP/Subnet and got nowhere [02:52] designbybeck i am running ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. [02:52] 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] justus: did you plug directly === joker_ is now known as folorn [02:52] good evening folks :) [02:53] lol doh! I'm not helping with that fuzzylumpkinz :P I don't know anything about that [02:53] justus: you can't log into this machine at all BTW [02:53] very: if you can't get 2.8 try the ppas for 2.7.4 i think it was [02:53] i am pretty sure i had that running on my netbook [02:53] justus: i mean like a normal login [02:54] ls [02:54] 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] if someone with xchat has some time for a quick question could ya lemme know please. [02:54] 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] justus: do you have a user/pass for SSH log [02:54] 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] 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] folorn, If you do not decribe it we cannot help you. ;) [02:55] okay im gettin mad....I keep getting gimp 2.6 [02:55] describe* [02:55] designbybeck, they only have gimp compiled for oneiric, precise and quantal. [02:55] hmmm [02:55] i'll just try to compile it myself. [02:55] where can i find gparted partition editor on my xubuntu live cd or on a lubuntu installed m/c [02:55] 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] i would think you could still find a .deb or something very [02:56] why not upgrade distros? [02:56] wilee [02:56] 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] iFlip: Ah, my skills of deduction just gave me the IP Adress the server was supposed to have (192.168.178.222) [02:56] i need to know how to join a new server [02:57] can't remember its been so long since I've been on here :) sorry. [02:57] 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] justus: you got the address now?? [02:57] very i'm running a Dell Netbook 10 with Ubuntu and Kubuntu 12.04 [02:57] 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] folorn: What do you need to do? [02:58] 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] hey there... can anyone tell me if there is a WUBI version that works with the 12.04.1 releases? [02:58] 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] justus: well, good luck I can understand your furstration [02:58] chris92: Sure you don't wanna do a real Ubuntu install? [02:58] 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] i just wanna join a new sever usr13 [02:58] iFlip: Actually, the server os is on a usb stick *think* [02:58] folorn: to ________________? [02:58] like i got the addy just forgot how [02:58] the problem is, the notebook I want to install it on has a broken CD drive [02:58] um 1sec [02:59] iFlip: could I somehow find out what happens by debugging the files? [02:59] folorn: ifconfig [02:59] irc.windfyre.net 6667 [02:59] and doesnt support boot from usb [02:59] okay. thank you very much. see you later. [02:59] 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] chris92: Can you remove the hard drive from inside the unit? [02:59] folorn: Sorry, but I'm not understanding what your question is. [02:59] justus: as long as it was logging [02:59] very, juts back up your data first as always [02:59] justus: I don't see why not [02:59] best to do a full clean install for a fresh start [02:59] i wanna join that server irc.windfyre.net 6667 [03:00] designbybeck: Can we speak some in PM? Else our discussion will be noise in here. [03:00] 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] iFlip: Waaaaaait a minute, I have ubuntu on my laptop, shouldn't I be able to edit the password file? [03:00] but can't remember how to do so with this client again. [03:00] yeah hit me up tiox [03:00] backing up data. that's a good advice. [03:00] tiox: probably, but its a 6 yr old notebook. dont think i have the needed adapters for the pc then [03:00] also a Disclamer most of us helping others give ;) [03:00] folorn: you can use /server command ;) [03:00] folorn: Oh, ok. /server irc.windfyre.net [03:00] justus: you could use vim to get file [03:01] hah thanks guys :) [03:01] 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] how the heck do I just get GIMP 2.8???? [03:02] it always brings me back to gimp 2.6 [03:02] designbybeck, and how do you get the paint doo-hicky on it? [03:02] hatsaresilly: How far apart are they? (How about just a crossover cable, (many times faster). [03:02] across state lines [03:02] justus: or even better, create a new user and join it to the main group [03:03] 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] iFlip: In what logfile should I look for the ip adress? [03:04] Yeah, I wouldn't use a dial up modem unless it was my only option. :( [03:04] 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] fuzzylumpkinz: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp [03:05] fuzzylumpkinz: you can use a ppa for gimp 2.8 [03:05] 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] i normally always run ppa's instead of USC builds [03:06] because if I do sudo apt get gimp, it just takes me back to 2.6 [03:06] iFlip: ouch, eth0 seems to have some error, dmesg shows that it's down :( [03:06] yes you might have some bugs here and there.... but remember OSS uses... "Release Early, Release Often!" [03:06] justus: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces [03:06] 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] and report your bugs....it's what makes the world go 'round [03:06] Well chris, the idea here is to use the drive on a different PC and make an installation partition on it. [03:07] yes fuzzylumpkinz what xangua say... very important! Ubuntu is only as secure as to what you trust to let in it [03:07] always remember that [03:07] iFlip: ok, that is one weird interfaces file, gimme a sec [03:07] 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] 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] 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] USB* [03:08] justus: check to make sure auto lo iface lo inte looback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [03:08] hatsaresilly: http://www.aboutdebian.com/modems.htm [03:08] ...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] and then do* [03:09] http://pastebin.com/UtEU6pXL [03:09] thanks usr13, that may be helpful. [03:09] iFlip: please tell me that this is bullshit and how I can fix it ^^ [03:09] designbybeck, so I do all of those in order? [03:09] justus: mine looks very different - I LACP BOND 4 enabled on my eth0 - eth1 [03:10] you can copy and paste that whole line in your terminal and perss enter [03:10] put in your pass word .... say "y" when asked [03:10] you're good to go! [03:10] yeah still gave me 2.6 [03:10] justus: is the interfaces conf destroyed? [03:10] im still on oneiric ocelot if that matters any [03:10] iFlip, ifdownup is not the default for networking.. [03:10] 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] iFlip: have you had a look at the pastebin? [03:11] I learned that yesterday from the #xubuntu room ;) [03:11] iFlip, NetworkManager replaces ifdownup.. he should be using the nmcli commands [03:11] designbybeck, I did them seperate and it still gave me 2.6...am I just stuck with it for now? [03:11] 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 === pico is now known as Guest18063 [03:11] anyone know of a way to make an encrypted tar file? :D [03:12] hmmm [03:12] tiox: well, I'll try my best tomorrow, if nothing helps i can pretty much throw this notebook away [03:12] hatsaresilly: http://www.aboutdebian.com/modems.htm and http://www.trinityos.com/LINUX/TrinityOS/cHTML/TrinityOS-c-42.html [03:12] great, my touchpad is frozen again *sigh* [03:12] justus, aww man, sorry to hear that :( [03:13] do you have anything else open? USC ? Synaptic? [03:13] reade: Sure. tar czv Documents.tgz Documents/* [03:13] fuzzylumpkinz: ^^ [03:13] chris92: I sent you a PM. [03:13] designbybeck, what? [03:13] justus, do you use a thinkpad? [03:13] oh [03:13] 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] designbybeck: you just gave fuzzylumpkinz a ppa that has no packages for oneiric [03:13] fuzzylumpkinz: so in the term, you put in the first line... sudo apt-add....... [03:13] i have like skype and all that crap open [03:13] very: no samsung nc10 [03:14] doh! Guess I should have asked that first xangua sorry fuzzylumpkinz [03:14] usr13, i'm talking about encryption tho -_- not just compression [03:14] this looks like a pretty good solution:http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/07/working-with-tar-with-encryption.html [03:14] so what do I do? [03:14] whoops: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/07/working-with-tar-with-encryption.html [03:14] but don't get me started on those little annoyances, cause I have one that tops everything [03:14] rgenito: Yea, I see. I dono [03:14] xangua: do you have a solution? [03:14] Thanks [03:15] is the 2.7+ still available for Oneiric? [03:15] usr13, check out that link...looks pretty useful :) [03:15] 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] so I got a laptop I can only set to maximum or minimum brightness [03:15] [main] [03:15] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [03:15] justus: NetworkManager conf file should read [03:16] if I hit the brightness adjusting hotkeys during the phase of transition it begins jumping wildly around in the brightness settings [03:16] rgenito: Yea, that looks good [03:16] if I had epilepsy it would be a very dangerous thing indeed ^^ [03:16] iFlip: uhm, which file should that be ^^ [03:17] 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] 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] justus: nm-system-settings.conf [03:18] I'm messing with /usr/bin/amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ unmute [03:18] sry for repost [03:18] iFlip: where do I find that? [03:18] so how do I get to thepaint do hicky on gimp then? [03:18] [ifupdown] [03:18] managed=false [03:18] justus: the second line should read [03:18] justus: sudo vi /etc/NetworkManeged/nm-system-settings.conf [03:19] justus: sudo vi /etc/NetworkManaged/nm-system-settings.conf <-- had a typo [03:20] iFlip: the file is identical [03:20] How do i switch output device [03:20] iFlip: please excuse me for a minute I have to fix this touchpad bug [03:20] justus: how did the /etc/network/interfaces file look? [03:21] 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] mnewton: Use the Display Adapter's cofig menu. [03:21] l [03:21] fuzzylumpkinz: I do know that GPS was pretty well polished for gimp 2.6 [03:21] designbybeck, so I cannot get gimp 2.8 and the painty what not? [03:21] so just do a search on google for "gimp GPS" and see what you get [03:21] Gimp Paint Studio [03:22] Can you upgrade your distro to Ubuntu 12.04 fuzzylumpkinz? [03:22] designbybeck, I doubt it [03:22] mnewton: Fir instance: NVIDIA X Server Settings [03:22] my internet is so slow its more than likely it will break [03:23] why not fuzzylumpkinz [03:23] and I don't want to re-do my whole damn computer again [03:23] usr13, no, I want it cli [03:24] I think i have to mess withSpeaker Playback Switch [03:24] in amixer [03:24] designbybeck, so not likely [03:25] I do mine every six months pretty much ;) [03:25] what about a dual boot fuzzylumpkinz [03:25] designbybeck, I don't know how to dualboot [03:25] do a clean Ubuntu 12.04 to play with the cutting edge stuff and the other one for fall bac fuzzylumpkinz === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:25] so you have a clean install and only the one OS on your system fuzzylumpkinz [03:26] mnewton: xrandr [03:26] designbybeck, I dont know how to do it and Im not confident enough to do it [03:26] ok fair enough [03:26] you could practice in a VM as well [03:26] just trying to point out things to help you get comfortable with Linux installs and such [03:27] i find myself these days doing 1-3 installs or trials a week with random distros and random computer types [03:27] designbybeck, that always breaks on me [03:27] aaaaand again something that didn't quite work out as planned [03:27] how much ram in your system fuzzylumpkinz [03:27] designbybeck, i have no idea [03:27] fuzzylumpkinz: free [03:28] ...what usr13 said ;) [03:28] fuzzylumpkinz: how long have you been using Linux? [03:28] designbybeck, a couple years [03:28] iFlip: I think I'll give it up at this point. [03:28] ah, we gotta get your feet...wetter ;) [03:28] open a terminal window [03:28] iFlip: thanks for your help, even though it didn't work out at the end [03:28] yup [03:28] justus: np - hope you get it figured out [03:29] type "free -m" without "" [03:29] I just cant remember all the commands and stuff [03:29] fuzzylumpkinz: free -m [03:29] iFlip: it is leadpipe solvable, if you know what I mean :D [03:29] should give you your Free RAM in Megabyes [03:29] total, 3773, used 3518, free 255 [03:30] so if that is MB you have 4GB on your system [03:30] that is good! [03:30] designbybeck, how do I free up more [03:31] you don't need to free up more [03:31] designbybeck, okay [03:31] It's a Linux Thing ;) but we'll not go there now..... you have enough RAM [03:31] designbybeck, okay [03:31] next fuzzylumpkinz in the term....

[03:50] dang I need someoen else responding now who knows more about older distros [03:50] can I unzip a tar via ftp? [03:50] but the fact you see 200gb that has to mean you have more space somewhere [03:50] uhm [03:51] Shazer[2]: not sure about "ftp" but have you tried Filezilla? [03:51] how do I find out? [03:51] ok fuzzylumpkinz can you open your file browser? [03:51] might be Home Places [03:51] okay I have a ubuntu1 [03:51] designbybeck. [03:51] Or Places>Home [03:51] Nope..

[03:57] 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] 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] hi all, can someone tell me how to start tftpd on ubuntu 12.04?

[03:59] you can hit GRUB at bootup WeThePeople [03:59] ? [04:00] idk but I just have the 215 under devices, then I have the rest of my computer [04:00] vicatcu: you are following a guide from 2006 ¿ [04:00] 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] 12.04* [04:00] designbybeck, idk what that means [04:00] 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] so if you click on the 215 fuzzylumpkinz what does it show [04:00] Xabster: usually, you can run apt-get update to update apt databases [04:01] vicatcu: what you mean with ?

[04:02] designbybeck, those things I told you, four orange folders, backup for virtual, lost an found, test, and virtual machine [04:02] hmm that is odd fuzzylumpkinz because that sounds like you should have more space than you do [04:02] or than df -h showed [04:02] designbybeck, hunh idk [04:02] we need to ask Ken! LOL [04:02] designbybeck, so the menu where i select what kernel i want is the grub menu.. 10.04 [04:03] correct WeThePeople [04:03] vicatcu: what are you have been doing to make it works ? [04:03] should i be using tftpd-hpa instead of just tftpd? [04:03] ah yes... seems 11.10 and before I had these kinda problems [04:03] so maybe nomodeset will let you get in. and then you'll have to install other video drivers maybe? [04:04] designbybeck, yes i can this takes place after i select newest kernel [04:04] 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] 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] designbybeck, okay thank you very much anyways [04:05] vicatcu: I have read it, so, exactly what the problems happen to you ?

[04:09] 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] geekyogi: its trully hard to rollback if you not have experiences on them :D [04:10] @aeon-ltd, with re-install you mean, installing 10.04 again ? [04:10] 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] geekyogi: yes, there is no real rollback method [04:11] 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..

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] oldskool_:i think that would be recommended to run seperate drives yes, but other factors play [04:56] Which comes to my real question...

[06:06] For example i want to see if there are any filesystem bugs [06:07] how do i search for it? [06:07] bugzilla asks me to enter the "words" field at any cost.. [06:07] Calinou, what is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu? [06:07] how to see file system bug [06:07] kundan: what? [06:08] hey guys, has someone tried ubuntu as an win app? i guess there aren't any risks to the winOS? [06:08] @rkshm i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during boot time [06:08] dgx: you mean wubi? [06:09] dgx, you mean running ubuntu in a virtual machine on windows? [06:09] no, without VM [06:09] using the 2nd option: install as windows application(inside windows) [06:09] 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] dgx: that is wubi. [06:09] dgx, wubi [06:09] oh i see [06:10] so, using this method, does it hold any risks for windows, because im in the office, can't take chances :) [06:10] dgx, personally i'd just install the live cd - i ran into some problems with wubi [06:10] the other option ofcourse is to use VM [06:10] dgx: for the record, wubi is for testing ubuntu...not a permanent installation solution. so sayeth wubi developers [06:10] dgx: for zero risk, make an ubuntu usb stick/cd and boot that or use virtualbox [06:10] so what are the biggest differences between ubuntu and lubuntu? [06:11] crackerjackz: desktop managers are different. ubuntu is ubuntu. [06:11] i will go with the VM case, because im a dev and need to safe files, thanks [06:11] cfhowlett, i see, so the only difference is the D.E? [06:11] crackerjackz: some of the default packages are different as well. [06:11] crackerjackz: ubuntu uses unity by default, lubuntu uses LXDE [06:11] crackerjackz, lubuntu is a lighter desktop. [06:11] does anyone will tell me why i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during booting the systwm [06:12] 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] 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] only have one blank cd* [06:13] 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] ...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] crackerjackz: so boot the live cd and test it. [06:14] 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] crackerjackz: ever consider the usb boot option? [06:15] does anyone will tell me why i am getting fsck linux-utils 2.19.1 during booting the system [06:15] 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] @ cfhowlett [06:15] crackerjackz, This wiki claims that card works. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Unsupported [06:16] I woulden't try to run ubuntu on something that old, crackerjackz [06:16] wilee-nilee, ty [06:16] crackerjackz: yep. you can install lubuntu and then install XFCE (or vice versa) and select the alternate desktop environment at login [06:16] crackerjackz: lubuntu is amied for low resources... doesn't mean you can not use it with certain hardware [06:16] So Lubuntu and xubuntu might give a much better experiance. [06:17] kundan: that message indicates that an automatic file system check, and that the fsck version is from linux-utils 2.19.1 [06:18] timfrost: booting is taking a lot of time and screen blinks during the boot time === very is now known as king_very [06:19] xangua, so you think lubuntu is my safest bet? === gary_ is now known as game16 [06:21] 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] timfrost: then it show /dev/sda7 :clean 269959/269632 file 1596769/10499840 block [06:23] kundan: that indicates successful completion of the check of that filesystem with no errors. You get one for each file system [06:24] timfrost: ya i am getting for each file system [06:25] timfrost: but why the screen blinks during the boot [06:26] 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] not advisable on UEFI [06:26] UEFI? [06:27] I woulden't try to run ubuntu on something that old, crackerjackz [06:27] have fun running debian and complaining about firmware then [06:27] dgx: unified extensible firmware interface, something invented by m$ for more vendor locks [06:28] aha [06:28] 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] VM for the win then :) [06:28] Calinou, so you're saying don't run lubuntu on something that old? intel pentium 4, 768 mb ddr ram [06:30] crackerjackz: should work [06:30] dgx: it can be quite slow, and you're still running windows anyway [06:30] how do i setup ubuntu to run fsck after reboot automatically [06:30] why would you do that? [06:30] it does that every 25 boots [06:31] ------ [06:31] ( Ubuntu Rocks!) [06:31] ~gnuu. O ------ [06:31] crackerjackz: lubuntu will do fine, so will xubuntu; you can also use regular Ubuntu as you get the minimal resource requirements [06:31] uGNUGNu o [06:31] @g~nu~~gNu [06:31] calinou: how do i get it to invoke fsck after a reboot? [06:31] ArchyArcibolt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:31] G/@||@) N| [06:31] xangua, i see i see said the blind man. thank you [06:31] Calinou: 4gb ram, and celeron 3400 2.60 x2 cpu should be okay :? [06:32] 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] 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] dgx: try it. xubuntu or lubuntu are meant for machines like yours. [06:33] 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] bzb: it seems you can force a fsck on the next reboot using "sudo touch /forcefsck", then rebooting. [06:35] Source: http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/it-tips/gnu-linux/ubuntu-disk-stuff [06:36] dgx: yes [06:37] in ubuntu how do I know how a package is configured (the ./configure line) ? [06:37] cfhowlett: both work just fine on recent computers, people tend to forget that [06:37] jamezQ: thanks. i'll give it a try [06:37] !make | e66 [06:37] e66: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:37] e66: not everything uses ./configure [06:37] pre-build outdated packages first* FTFY [06:38] lotuspsychje: I know how to make. [06:38] Calinou: noted. [06:38] e66:the url shows the configure line aswell [06:40] Calinou: what do you mean by "pre-built outdated packages first* FTFY" ? [06:41] He is implying that packages in the pre-build repo's are out of date [06:41] 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] 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] e66: it's got some sort of package wrapper that explains to apt-get how to install it [06:43] 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] Thanks for the link [06:43] Well, here is something e66: apt-cache show [06:44] Sadly I don't see things like ./configure flags, but it's something along your ally [06:44] JamezQ: ooo - good one [06:45] timfrost:?? [06:45] JamezQ: no configure there!! [06:46] it has a dependency list [06:46] e66: Yea, I know :/ I am looking for one that will show flags [06:46] 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] !patience [06:48] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:48] e66: because 99% of the time, reason of compiling is outdated packages :P [06:49] kundan: I can't help, as my system is 12.04 with nVidia graphics [06:49] 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] Including any flags used for compiling and ./configure options [06:49] Some people also configure for optimization [06:49] more info at :http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageConfiguration [06:50] Calinou: Some people also configure for optimization [06:50] Maybe you can make a script to automatically pull the info from a package, but I didn't see one [06:50] JamezQ: I am currently reading debian/rules file [06:51] It has some rules called common config. But I am not sure what else will be patched with it. [06:52] timfrost: thanks for ur help [06:52] is it possible to batch remove .fileext from a group of files? [06:53] mv *.txt * perhaps? [06:54] <_buki_> hi [06:54] chamunks: for file in ./*.ext; do mv -i "$file" "${file%.*}"; done [06:54] Surlent777, hmm [06:54] chamunks: you need something like find . -type f -name *.fileext -exec rm {} \;, but DOUBLE CHECK THAT [06:54] _buki_: greetings [06:55] chamunks: Oh, remove the file or the filename extension? [06:55] geirha, that looks about right [06:55] chamunks: ah - I misunderstood... [06:55] 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] I want to remove .loaded from those files its like 400+ [06:56] doing that manually would be a pain. [06:56] 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] geirha, ^ [06:59] how can i change the background color of calendar popup in 12.04 (gnome 3) [06:59] chamunks: If they're all in the same dir, then that for-loop should work after replacing .ext with .Loaded [07:00] geirha, ok awesome now to get my nas back online so that I can perform that operation. [07:00] just tested it and mine; my idea is a dud, but geirha's thing works perfectly [07:02] 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] 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] timfrost: Yes, ${var%.*} removes the shortest part matching .* from the end. %% gives you a greedy version [07:04] I always forget the special ${var%} and ## stuff in bash [07:04] timfrost: One could also write ${file%.Loaded} [07:05] geirha: OK. too much time working in dumb shells [07:06] or echo |sed s/\(.*\).Loaded/\1/ [07:06] :p [07:06] timfrost: All POSIX compliant shells have the % and # PEs. [07:08] geirha: as I said- too much time programming in the original Bourne shell :( [07:08] ok i got that working again [07:08] timfrost: Ah, yes. That's painful :/ [07:12] geirha, "for file in ./*.loaded ; do mv -i "$file" "${file%.*}" ; done" Returns Missing }. [07:13] Hey, are there any one that have trouble with xpdf after the latest sys updates ? :) [07:13] chamunks: Sounds like you're not using bash then [07:14] fair enough I'll mount that share locally somehow and do it on my local box with bash. [07:14] well, mine worked without bash... [07:14] chamunks: or any other posix shell for that matter. So possibly you have some c-shell derivate or the bourne shell [07:16] im ssh'd into a nas4free (freebsd) box from my ubuntu box. [07:16] it was because i was in su [07:17] chamunks: If I remember correctly, freebsd's default login shell is tcsh. See if it has bash or ash and use that [07:17] or ksh [07:18] what would the command be for that. [07:18] it has all of those via the webgui [07:18] chamunks: just run bash [07:19] just $ bash , if it's installed [07:19] chamunks: if the prompt changes, good, you're in bash, and the for-loop should work. [07:19] beautiful [07:19] worked flawlessly on the test directory [07:19] yay [07:20] agreed. === Guest14984 is now known as wesley === wesley is now known as Guest29648 [07:23] hi [07:24] Hello imax_ === anael is now known as Guest91402 [07:34] dell vostro 1700. network manager sees my wireless network, but can't seem to get connected.

[08:16] foo357: The package management system, in ubuntu's case deb. Handles that itself. [08:16] brophat: wubi uses a file on your NTFS, you don't have to resize NTFS to use wubi [08:16] foo357: Basically each .deb file has a list of other packages it requires [08:16] ActionParsnip: driver=iwl3945 [08:17] foo357: And so when installing it to your system, the package mangager will find those and install those first [08:17] is that any good? === lub` is now known as lubmil [08:17] foo357: If you are installing from source, you generally need to handle dependencies on your own [08:17] I think I would want ubuntu to have its own partition, but I don't know why [08:17] what do you guys think? [08:17] yes and how do I do that JamezQ [08:17] foo357: But it's not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information about what is missing [08:17] devios__: run: echo "'s not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information abo [08:17] devios__: wait === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [08:18] O.o [08:18] when i try to install ubuntu from a flash drive (hitting F12, selecting boot from usb), windows just wants to start up (telling me i have the choice between repair and normal) [08:18] devios__: echo "options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf [08:18] and goodmorning btw [08:18] devios__: sudo modprobe -r iwl3945; sleep 4; sudo modprobe iwl3945 [08:19] 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] njr: are there any bugs reported? [08:20] njr: are you installing Kate on a Gnome desktop based Ubuntu or are you running Kubuntu? [08:20] 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] it just says at the end "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." [08:20] ye [08:20] ActionParsnip: ran both cmds - same behavior when i try to connect [08:21] brophat: sure, you can resize to free up space and you can then install to the freed space [08:21] ActionParsnip yes [08:21] ActionParsnip rock on!

[08:30] So you can learn and use there, and then make sure it works on excel [08:30] then you can know it on both, and say you know excel [08:30] JamezQ corpers want to hear you talk macro [08:30] JamezQ corpers want to hear you talkin VB macros [08:31] njr: seems wierd to want to install all the deps for kate, just for a text editor is all. [08:31] #ubuntu-nl [08:31] devios__: gah, then delete the file you made, I suggest yuo switch wireless channels === devios__ is now known as devios [08:31] devios__: could also try disabling ipv6 too with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 [08:31] devios: ^ [08:33] what should I use to install ubuntu once i got my windows installed and repartitioned. Live CD? [08:33] brophat: Yes. [08:34] ActionParsnip: just changed channel [08:34] ActionParsnip: same nonsense [08:34] brophat: Leave unpartitioned space on your harddrive and the Ubuntu installer will add the partitions it needs there [08:35] devios: tried the ipv6 disable? [08:35] devios: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [08:35] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop you go there and it does not download Live CD [08:35] !download [08:35] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Precise, and help keeping the servers' load low! [08:35] it downloads something else [08:35] ActionParsnip: Squeeze [08:36] brophat: the desktop cd is a live cd [08:36] devios: debian isn't supported here [08:36] devios: ask in #debian [08:36] hmm ok. why does it recommend 32 bit/ [08:36] ActionParsnip: i didn't see what you said about ipv6 [08:36] devios: ask in #debian [08:36] brophat: Because most applications are still written for 32 bit in mind [08:36] is the 64 bit ubuntu buggy? [08:36] ok [08:36] brophat: No, it's not. [08:37] brophat: In fact, I suggest 64, I think they will change that text soon. [08:37] brophat: Since they have finished all the muti-arch stuff, [08:37] they way they say it they make it sound like the 64 bit version is still in beta or something [08:37] ActionParsnip: thx anyway, i guess [08:37] is there a way of making a particular application run a script / command at every start ? [08:37] No, it's just the safest possible, that used to be more true. Some app's broke with 64 [08:38] But nowadays, more people use 64 bit then 32 [08:38] So you are safe [08:38] ok they should clarify that [08:38] they should say why they recommend 32 bit [08:38] Azzle-Dazzle: Yes, there are many ways. Do you want them to start a login? Or at bootup? or periodically [08:39] to me it sounds like they are saying that their 64 bit version sucks [08:39] The ways to do this are : Startup applications settings, init scripts, or cron jobs. [08:40] 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] 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] JamezQ and 64 bit can use all of my 6 gigs of ram [08:41] brophat: 32 can actually do that aswell [08:41] brophat: Using something called a PAE kernel [08:41] ok well with 64 bit I don't need that hahaha [08:41] Azzle-Dazzle: That sounds like something you may be able to fix instead of hacking it to make it work. [08:42] Azzle-Dazzle: What does your /etc/fstab look like? [08:42] 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] erm gimme 1 sec ill have a look [08:42] pastebin when you do post it [08:43] http://pastebin.com/gRe84UBS Here you go ! [08:45] 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] okay, why not replace your /tmp line with: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 [08:46] this is 12.04 on a vps, i'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the os template? [08:46] Since that is your effective switch, having those settings at the start should make that work at the start [08:46] so, try it [08:46] Ok I will give that a try now JamezQ [08:46] kk [08:47] hpj_: there is no root password. Run: sudo -i instead and use your own password [08:47] hpj_: nothing wrong at all [08:48] ActionParsnip: there *is* a root password since i've set one [08:48] hpj_: once you are done, run: exit and you will be user again [08:48] Azzle-Dazzle: check your permissions. My tmpfs is mounted as defaults,mode=1777,size=2g [08:48] as i've said, i *can* log in using root via ssh [08:48] hpj_: doesn't SSH block root logins, setting one is not advised or needed [08:49] i know all that [08:49] i normally disable root login via ssh [08:49] 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] but because i'm having this problem, i've enabled it temporarily, just for testing [08:49] 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] :D [08:49] fact is, i *can* log in as root via ssh [08:50] ill reboot and double check ! [08:50] which means the password is working [08:50] hpj_: you can use: sudo -i and you will be root. [08:50] hpj_: i'd check /etc/ssh/sshd_config [08:50] 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] i want to know why su doesn't work [08:50] hello guys how can i secure my ubuntu from ettercap? [08:50] ActionParsnip: once again, it has nothing to do with sshd_config [08:51] i know this seems to be the common problem with su that all ubuntu newbees have [08:51] but my case is different [08:51] hpj_: do you actually get connected via ssh, but then cannot su to root? Is that the issue? [08:51] Azzle-Dazzle: though not necessarily with the same 'size' param...anyway [08:51] ActionParsnip: ok, let me explain again: [08:52] i *can* do this: connect via ssh, login as root, and do stuff as root [08:53] as the very same time, ii *cannot* do this: connect via ssh, login as a regular user, then execute "su -" [08:53] I'm puzzled by the U.S. Presidential Elections [08:53] hpj_ and you want to not be able to ssh as root?

[08:57] ActionParsnip: no, because user is not in sudoers list [08:57] 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] ActionParsnip: Any idea for my question [08:58] hpj_: ahhhh [08:58] gordonjcp: wise beyond your years [08:58] i'm using ubuntu 12.4 i beleive some1 is sniffing on my system [08:58] jilt007: not something I've done, could ask in #grub maybe [08:58] excervo: why do you believe so? [08:58] hpj_: pam could be preventing it. look at /etc/pam.d/su [08:58] ActionParsnip: Thanks [08:59] JamezQ: no, that link (which i've read) is about the common problem that ubuntu disables root login by default [08:59] in my case, i've taken steps to activate it [08:59] why? [08:59] hpj_: also, look at /var/log/auth.log maybe has something relevant [09:00] and since i can login via ssh as root, it means the activation of root pw was successful [09:00] tsimpson: good catch [09:00] some login my YM on another system [09:00] yeah, i'll take a look at pam [09:00] hpj_: also check the permissions on /bin/su [09:01] ActionParsnip: perm is 755 [09:01] excervo: what is "YM"? [09:01] should it 4755? [09:01] hpj_: 4755 is the correct, yes [09:01] hpj_: mine is sticky [09:01] 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] tsimpson Yahoo messenger [09:01] hpj_: -rwsr-xr-x [09:02] ActionParsnip: That's not the sticky bit, that's the setuid bit [09:02] excervo: I'd suggest you change your yahoo password then [09:02] geirha: gah, took a guess [09:02] 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] hpj_: check yours is similar [09:03] decci what system are you running on that machine, what OS ? [09:03] Thanks tsimpson [09:03] 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] YES! [09:04] chmod 4755 /bin/su did the trick [09:04] hpj_: so your image is bad [09:04] setuid got me again [09:04] yeah, very [09:04] MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04 [09:04] decci server or desktop? [09:05] hpj_: strange you didn't check that... [09:05] for instance, sudo was 755 instead of 4755 as well [09:05] i had to fix that [09:05] hpj_: Perhaps check other commands that need the setuid bit. like /bin/mount and /bin/ping [09:05] hpj_: sounds like a right mess [09:05] also, there is a /etc/vim/vimrc, but its just for show [09:05] Sounds like someone's done a chmod -R [09:06] the one being used is /usr/share/vim/vimrc === florin is now known as Guest94545 [09:06] that took me some time to find [09:06] sadly, i can do nothing about it [09:06] MonkeyDust: server and desktop both [09:06] this is the os template my vps provider has [09:07] and they didn't even have ubuntu before [09:07] decci it's either server or desktop, you are r running [09:07] i was on debian [09:07] hpj_: /usr/share/vim/vimrc should be a symlink to /etc/vim/vimrc [09:07] and today i saw they have ubuntu now, so i switched [09:07] decci what was your initial question? [09:07] but obviously their template is crap [09:07] hpj_: sounds like it [09:08] hpj_: Yeah, they've broken all links and permission modes by the sound of it [09:08] i have another vps [09:08] where i'm also using ubuntu 12.04, for a while now [09:08] tsimpson, any tips on how to secure my ubuntu? [09:08] and there it works smoothly [09:09] so i have a good comparison between the two [09:09] what should work but doesn't [09:09] 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] can i use lubuntu for developing? more specifically i need just *amp env+symfony+1 browser [09:11] dgx: you can use it for whatever you want, it's your system after all [09:11] right, tnx [09:11] how do i list all files that have the setuid perm? [09:11] tsimpson, thanks but is firewall in ubuntu enable by default? [09:12] 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] well, I say no firewall by default, there is. it's just not set to do anything by default [09:13] 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] tsimpson, I want to disable ping from my system, How would I do that? [09:15] excervo: you could firewall off ICMP, but that's a bit silly [09:16] hpj_: let me websearch [09:16] is ARP can be disable too? [09:16] hpj_: http://www.linuxweblog.com/find-setuid-setgid [09:17] hpj_: less than 60 seconds to find that.... [09:17] hpj_: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=find+setuid+bash too hard? [09:17] excervo: echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all [09:18] Thanks Muelli [09:19] 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] 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] vehicle: you do know Natty is EOL next month? [09:20] troulouliou_dev: does it happen as a new user? [09:21] Whoops, it's actually 10.04 [09:21] 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] vehicle: thats EOL in April next year :) [09:23] vehicle: if you look in the settings in firefox, is the thing you want available? [09:24] hi === Guest53798 is now known as kgs [09:24] ActionParsnip, no current one [09:24] I was going to reply to excervo but I guess he's disabled ARP [09:24] what is the most appropiate file system If I need to do many writes in disk? ext3/ext4 o reiserfs ? Thank you [09:25] can someone heklp me with something? [09:25] !help | Malacub [09:25] Malacub: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:25] adoff: ex4 these days, unless you're on a flash drive [09:25] adoff: *ext44 [09:25] argh [09:25] you know what I mean [09:26] Great, I found the .xpi [09:26] adoff: I strongly suggest ext4, since it's the most supported. I have tried using others and often have some trouble. [09:26] 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] 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] adoff: it makes no real difference tbh [09:27] 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] likely* [09:27] adoff: if you are Amazon or Google, you might care [09:27] adoff: Facebook might care [09:27] 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] Google uses ext4, and it's good enough for them [09:27] JamezQ: gordonjcp I understand, then I'll use ext4 [09:28] adoff: are you working at CERN, capturing petabytes of information per second? [09:28] 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] excervo: re disabling ARP, don't do that, it's stupid [09:28] excervo: the best way to disable ARP is to unplug your ethernet cable [09:29] Malacub: adduser newusername && adduser newusername admin [09:29] 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] gordonjcp, wouldn't that break the network? [09:29] WarOfTheNerd: disabling ARP? [09:29] in the console? [09:29] 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] gordonjcp, as in filtering all ARP [09:29] WarOfTheNerd: very much so [09:29] Thanks gordon [09:29] Malacub: recovery console, yes [09:29] WarOfTheNerd: yup [09:29] * WarOfTheNerd was under the impression even manually setting an address would break without ARP [09:29] WarOfTheNerd: yes [09:30] gordonjcp: JamezQ thank you so much I'll use ext4 [09:30] adoff: Glad to help [09:30] excervo: only disable ping if you can write a 2000 word dissertation on the merits and disadvantages of blocking ICMP [09:31] gordonjcp: hehe, it can help to disable but its dead handy [09:32] excervo: why do you want to disable ARP, and do you know the implications of doing so? [09:33] JamezQ: gordonjcp maybe I have to read the mounting options of ext4 to improve the performace [09:33] adoff: Changing times on edit's would probably help, yea. so, read up. [09:34] adoff: it'll be fine [09:34] adoff: how big are these files you're processing? [09:34] adoff: Also, if you can, don't even work in ext4, create a tmpfs and use that [09:34] gordonjcp: the files are small [09:34] adoff: don't worry about it then [09:34] adoff: That would be better then any FS you could use [09:34] I have to open many small failes (between 1-15 mg) and writes many logs files [09:34] adoff: get it working first [09:34] ok [09:34] adoff: if it's slow, worry about fixing that later [09:35] is sending error reports actually helpful? [09:35] I understand [09:35] thank you :) [09:35] Ramtron: In Windows, no. In Ubuntu, yes actually, a lot [09:35] how so? [09:35] gordonjcp, sorry can you explain what will happen if I disable ARP? [09:36] Ramtron: Maybe the error happens with your specific hardware software combination, [09:36] excervo: do you know what ARP does? [09:36] greetings [09:36] Maybe no one else has submitted for that specific one [09:36] and that may help fix a bug [09:37] gordonjcp, Ive no idea [09:37] i se well thats really cool then, is it because its such a small community? [09:37] hi, how to add ttf font to ubuntu that wined Photoshop can use? [09:37] Ramtron: It's not that small :), but even it's not just you, you sending the report helps them prioritize bugs. [09:37] excervo: I suggest you read up on it [09:38] Ramtron: Of course, a dedicated bug report with comments is best, but the community really does look at these things [09:38] excervo: it's used by the network stack to identify individual machines [09:38] excervo: if your PC doesn't respond to ARP, there's no way to identify it [09:38] kinda makes me like using ubuntu even more. especially since its free. windows sucks [09:39] 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] gordonjcp, thanks for the brief explanation does this mean if i disable arp i will loose my connection? [09:39] thom_: play with the socket options in smb.conf [09:39] excervo: not immediately, but weird stuff will happen [09:40] gordonjcp, thanks [09:40] excervo: like, you'll be able to ping one machine but not another [09:40] some internet connections will work but not others, with no real pattern [09:40] hello [09:41] anyone here can send the password to "Uh"? [09:41] how do i set sudo access when moving files on the gui? [09:41] a_b0y: gksudo nautilus $HOME and you can move what you wish [09:42] 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] thanks a million [09:43] methamphetamin [09:43] ActionParsnip, what command would i need to use if i am using lUbuntu? [09:43] when will be Ubuntu 12.10 final coming out ?? [09:43] myhero: 18th Oct I believe [09:43] myhero: october some time [09:43] yes [09:44] what will be changes from current version or v12.04 ??

[09:45] a_b0y: just close pcmanfm [09:45] myhero: the name itself gives the release month already ...a x.04 release = april && a xx.10 release -> october [09:45] how to install firefox 15.0.1 on ubuntu 12.04....i have download the tarball from mozilla..... [09:45] ok [09:45] a_b0y: close that nautilus window [09:46] myhero 15 is in the repos [09:46] it worked thanks [09:46] 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] myhero: if you keep your 12.04 install uptodate is is already 12.04.1 [09:47] myhero: I gave you the date [09:47] myhero what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ? [09:47] MonkeyDust: i have 12.04 not 12.04.1.....it is already installed and no update is being showed in software center..... [09:48] somsip: yea...thnx [09:48] 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] myhero paste the outcome here, yo be sure [09:48] 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] MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [09:49] myhero: you'll need to keep updated to upgrade to 12.10 anyway [09:50] :D [09:50] myhero type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1 [09:50] #joint apache [09:50] myhero: then either you haven't updated in a while or the archive mirror you're using is out of sync [09:50] 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] han_: try /join #apache [09:50] yes its outdated [09:50] joint #apache [09:50] and old [09:50] myhero: could install with minimal overnight then :) [09:50] han_: join not joint [09:51] how to joint another channel ? [09:51] thanks [09:51] ActionParsnip: yes [09:51] han_: /join #apache like I said earlier [09:51] han_ type /join #some_channel [09:51] join #apache [09:51] myhero: uses less data [09:51] han_: you missed the / [09:51] =.= [09:51] han_ with the / [09:51] hihi [09:51] han_: ALL irc commands are prefixd with a slash [09:52] thanks [09:52] han_: the command (without the quotes) is: "/join #apache" [09:52] i have already downloaded the 15.0.1 package from mozilla.....now how to set it up......its not deb but source..... [09:52] 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] myhero: there is a ppa for firefox versions [09:53] action [09:53] myhero: you will need a lot of other packages installed to compile firefox from source, you're better off just updating [09:53] why i cant send messages [09:53] in #httpd [09:53] myhero: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [09:53] ActionParsnip: ok....but currently i have source in my hand....sould u help with it ?? [09:53] han_: ask in #freenode [09:53] han_: some channels force you to be authed [09:53] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [09:53] ohm [09:53] han_: anyways - this channel is focusing on ubuntu-help - not offering irc/freenode help ;) [09:53] thanks [09:54] 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] myhero type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1 [09:54] :D [09:54] sorry [09:54] tsimpson: really ?? or u r just scaring me ?? [09:54] MonkeyDust: ok [09:55] 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] myhero: and the output of: uname -a [09:55] tsimpson: ok then i will go with ppa ActionParsnip where to get it and how to install it ?? [09:56] myhero: firefox 15 is default in Precise. just run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox [09:56] 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] 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] myhero: can you give the output of: lsb_release -sc please [09:57] myhero: I found a ppa for firefox 16 if you like.... [09:57] ActionParsnip: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -sd Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [09:57] myhero: is ver 16 ok? [09:57] ActionParsnip: is it final stable or beta ?? betas have lots of holes...... [09:58] !info firefox | myhero [09:58] myhero: firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 15.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise), package size 19338 kB, installed size 40147 kB [09:58] myhero: firefox 15 is in Precise by default [09:58] ActionParsnip: which doesnt help him until he updates ;) [09:58] myhero just told you, FF 15 is in the repos [09:58] myhero: fidel hence the update/install command I gave ;) [09:58] i think that is the initial problem - not updating an install but asking for up-to-date app (firefox) [09:59] myhero: run full updates and you wil get firefox 15 [09:59] 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] which is somehow not-working - based on dependencies we have [09:59] fidel, what are you trying to config? [10:00] myhero: either consider using your current version - or update your entire installation .....you cant have both [10:00] blackshirt: nothing - i am talking about the question of myhero [10:00] myhero the live version is older than the current [10:00] MonkeyDust: ohh ok....so what should i do now ?? [10:00] fidel,okey [10:01] the staticalt compiled tar.gz version from firefox's download site may work... [10:01] fidel: any way inbetween which doesn't includes much of internet bandwidth [10:01] 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] ActionParsnip: that will be good.....how to do it ?? [10:02] myhero: what is 'much internet bandwidth' in the first place? [10:02] myhero: there are guides online galore [10:02] myhero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [10:02] have you ever checked how much data it would be to update the current installation? [10:02] first things first.......i am getting lot of connection and disconnections messages.....how to avoid them ?? [10:02] and doublechecked if its an issue compared to your internet-limitation? [10:03] its getting hard to read msgs with them..... === florin is now known as Guest82269 [10:03] myhero depends on your irc client [10:03] fidel: i never checked it coz i never had an option for update or upgrade.... [10:03] MonkeyDust: i am using webchat irc [10:04] what does $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p) do? [10:05] MonkeyDust: how to avoid these connection and disconnection msgs.......these are filling the full screen..... [10:05] SpacePoet: don't post that kind of stuff here [10:05] !danger [10:05] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [10:06] Ben64: what kinda stuff? [10:06] myhero: there is an option under 'options' in the top left [10:06] myhero i know how to do it in irssi, but not in webchat [10:06] SpacePoet: the line you posted [10:06] Ben64: what does it do? I don't even know [10:06] MonkeyDust: its just a button in the top left of the chat, you can change colours too [10:06] SpacePoet: its bad [10:06] MonkeyDust: i have irssi deb and i use it also but currently its not installed......i m on webchat irc [10:07] Hello [10:07] SpacePoet it is meant to forget and ignore [10:07] why is it bad lol [10:07] you just keep telling me it is bad but you wont explain why [10:07] its like north korea all over again [10:07] hi hello [10:07] anyone help [10:07] SpacePoet: where did you get that command? [10:07] hi tintoy [10:07] SpacePoet: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xxd [10:07] I configured Thunderbird Over POP3 , now i need keep message on server . How can do this ? [10:08] brb all 10 mins..... [10:08] mah454: there is an option to keep the messages on the server [10:09] I can not find this Option on settings ! [10:09] where is this option ? [10:09] is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line? [10:09] jrib: some guy on 4chan told me to run it [10:09] @blackshirt- can I use 255.255.252.0 subnet mask in Class C? [10:10] spacepoet, look ata the manual dr_willis given? [10:10] 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] SpacePoet: so thats good enough reasin o not do it.. [10:10] jrib: should maybe not keep posting it : / [10:10] blackshirt: i did i also read the man page of that [10:11] spacepoet, actually i don't know what the xxd was for ... [10:11] mah454: http://www.gn.apc.org/sites/gn.apc.org/files/images/thunderbird_pop_setup1.jpg [10:12] jrib: it didnt do anything [10:12] SpacePoet: ok, anything else we can help you with? [10:15] jrib: all my stuff disappeared [10:16] ...You ran it? [10:16] SpacePoet: yes, that's what your original command does [10:16] then why did you tell me to run it??? [10:16] what? deletes stuff? [10:16] i warned you [10:16] SpacePoet: no one told you to run your original command [10:17] so the command literally deletes files? [10:17] ActionParsnip: yep [10:17] ActionParsnip: that echo stuff just says "rm -rf *" [10:17] Ben64: yowser [10:17] ActionParsnip: Calls rm a few options, and * [10:17] TheDrums: yikes [10:17] jrib: you told me to run it with echo at teh front [10:17] without the $() it would just print what it does [10:18] echo whatever.. would run nothing [10:18] ahhh [10:18] SpacePoet: the command I gave you just prints what the command would have done :/ [10:18] i tried the rm -rf thing, with some additional parameters in vbox, it did ruin the system [10:19] jrib: then where are my stuff lol [10:19] 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] jrib: where are backups? [10:20] SpacePoet: where you made them [10:20] nobody makes backups anymore [10:20] i dont remember making them [10:20] 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] this isn't 1992 [10:20] Ben64: I do, my dad does and his dad does [10:20] zomg [10:20] load up the tape drive? :P [10:20] all my photos [10:20] Ben64: also the company I wok for backs up a few thousand Tbs a day [10:20] how [10:21] TBs [10:21] Ben64: lots of floppies [10:21] Ben64: netapp backup + some magnetic tapes [10:21] what is this 1997? [10:21] i backup everything [10:21] few thousand TBs? [10:21] as in a few PB [10:21] seems unplausable [10:21] Ben64: yes, we are a hosting company with a handful of datacentres [10:22] Ben64: so quite easy really [10:22] which company [10:22] Ben64: i can PM if you like [10:25] 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] in ubuntu 10.04 (or even before that) there was a pencil symbol [10:25] ooxii: hit ctrl-l [10:25] with that i could swap between the button path and the text path [10:25] ooxii, ctrl+L [10:25] dr_willis, blackshirt, thanks! [10:26] ooxii, ctrl+L [10:26] if i forget the shortcut, how can i change that in the menu? [10:26] there used to be a tweak to make the path the default [10:27] used to be a button to toggle it years ago i recall.. [10:27] gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true [10:27] but now a days its a 'buttons are too confuseing' mindset. [10:28] ferni, thanks :-) [10:28] ;) clean interface even if you cant use it! [10:28] Is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line? [10:28] Ben64: you mean comercial audio cds? [10:28] yep [10:29] 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] 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] seen some ripper apps that claim to use all sorts of faaancy tricks on windows to verify audio cd's when ripping.. [10:30] but not noticed any on linux. the ubuntustudio guys may know of some [10:30] I already tried to copy the file from a live CD with no results [10:30] elvano, thats bad [10:30] 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] 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] Hello every one , after dualboot fedora on ubuntu i can't see fedora login option in grub loader .Help me out plz [10:31] I'd really apriciate help on the matter for I'm forced to run a live cd meanwhile [10:31] Ben64: ive seen comercial video dvd's that have such nasty copy protection dd chokes on them. [10:31] lex__, grub2 should detect your fedora? [10:31] vivid thanks! / is even shorter than ctrl+l [10:31] elvano, is it true your libc.6.so missing? [10:32] blackshirt: but it d'nt . After installing ubuntu 12.04 grub loader , it d'nt show any option for fedora [10:32] Well, when I checked the lib/gnu..;something, it wasn't there (if that's where it's supposed to be) @ blackshirt [10:32] dr_willis: darn [10:33] lex__, run update-grub, and check it detected your fedora...and look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg..is there fedora entry? [10:34] Elvano, usually libraries was resides on /lib dir or /usr/lib ... you should check it [10:35] Neither one contains the file, blackshirt [10:36] blackshirt: it d'nt have any entry for fedora in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [10:36] elvano, thats bad thing... Libc.6.so was c library .. And that was a core library used almost of the sysyem [10:37] Lex__, you can add it [10:37] blackshirt: how ? Can you add ? [10:37] How could it be missing just like that? @blackshirt [10:38] howdy [10:38] blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230175/ [10:38] and might it be possible to copy it from another installation? @ blackshirt [10:38] lex__, usually, adding some entries through grub config files. They reside in /etc/grub.d/ dir [10:38] is the fedora install on an encrypted disk or anything odd lex ? [10:39] elvano, i don't know what are you have been doing with your system before [10:39] dr_willis: i d'nt think so . I can access its data [10:40] dr_willis: means its not encrypted [10:40] lex__: can you see its /boot/ files? [10:40] dr_willis: yup ! [10:41] Don't see the lib in any of the folders on my live image either, blackshirt [10:41] when installing ubuntu 12.04 on raid10, is it necessary to create a raid1 boot partition too? [10:42] elvano, check agains your lib dir.. And ensure nothing libc in it ..maybe just has beeen renamed [10:42] 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] Anyway, I've got to go . thanks for your time, blackshirt [10:42] how thow to create themes for xfce? (gtk themes i think) [10:43] dr_willis: ? [10:44] bondj there's this http://orford.org/gtk/ [10:44] lex__, have you tried to add some entries on 40_custom files? [10:45] bondj there's also 'devhelp' in the repos, it's for gtk [10:45] blackshirt: 40_custom of what distro ? Ubuntu or fedora [10:46] fedora may have the same feature [10:46] lex__, are you relies on different /boot partition ? [10:46] dr_willis, for grub, i think not differ too much [10:46] dr_willis: blackshirt in fedora yoiu d'nt have grub.d , only grub [10:47] In /etc/grub.d [10:48] blackshirt: i found grub.d [10:49] thats i mean [10:49] you need to decide which os you want to manage the bootloader. ;) [10:49] it might be best to chainload the other os. but ive not had to do that in years [10:50] maybe better just adding an entry [10:50] dr_willis: after finding 40_custom what should i do ? [10:51] 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] anything in 40_custom gets tacked onto the end of the grub menu basically [10:52] add proppper fedora entry and it should show up in the ubuntu grub menu [10:52] learn some basic to add menuentry on grub menus [10:53] odd that os-prober is not seeing the fedora install. was the fedora partitions mounted when you ran 'sudo update-grub' [10:53] 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/ [10:53] run on [10:55] intel core 2 duo, Intel 945 GM, 2GB ram, 1.60GHz [10:56] im laffin [10:57] pimp dem xeons from left to right and dem bytez from rite to lepht br0 [10:57] can I run Ubuntu 12.04 [10:58] Davisrox101 sure [10:58] On, Intel core 2 duo, 2GB ram, 1.60GHz, Intel 945GM [10:58] howto to boot the grub on startup [10:59] @monkeydust [11:00] the grub don't appear at startup [11:01] hello all, help me please [11:02] Davisrox101 keep it in the channel, please [11:02] kk [11:02] tcp_cungkr1nk, what the problems?

[11:06] yes, sorry for my bad english [11:06] asfasf afasfafaga [11:06] thank you MonkeyDust [11:07] hello guys I have question about running apps on ubuntu [11:07] tcp_cungkr1nk, it's no matter, i'm from indo too.. We come from the same country :d podho arek indone :d [11:08] 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] why is that, it's just not responding [11:09] quetzacotl: make a .desktop file to run the command [11:09] quetzacotl: you can copy one from ~/.config/autostart to the desktop, the manipulate it to run what you wish [11:11] 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] quetzacotl: you can copy the file to the other systems easily [11:13] I'm new to ubuntu, how can do I make hidden files visible? [11:14] quetzacotl: just run: nautilsu ~/.config/autostart bit easier [11:14] quetzacotl press ctrl+h [11:14] quetzacotl: depends on what app / viewer you are talking about. nautilus offers a menu option for that [11:14] quetzacotl: or look in the menus in nautilus and the option should be there [11:15] i have no such directory [11:15] .config === ttl_ is now known as ttl- [11:15] hi, can someone comment on the quality of current amd catalyst drivers? i'm looking into buying a new laptop [11:15] oh sorry [11:15] its there [11:15] quetzacotl: reading is good [11:16] Hi Guys [11:16] Hey all [11:16] I have Dell R620 machine with H710 PERC card. Its not working for Ubuntu 10.04 but working on 12.04.1 [11:17] Can I do some backporting the driver to Ubuntu 10.04 [11:17] Any idea? How can I make it work for Ubuntu 10.04 [11:17] decci_: why not just stick with 12.04? [11:17] well [11:17] quetzacotl: what about Nvidia card? You like ATI more? [11:17] decci_: +1 for using precise [11:17] gordonjcp: I am some application working and I dont want to upgrade [11:17] ActionParsnip you said nautilsu ~/.config/autostart [11:18] I'm new to whole linux, so I dont know commands yet [11:18] its nautilus I suppose [11:18] quetzacotl: press CTRL+ALT+T and you can run the command [11:18] quetzacotl: yes, nautilus [11:18] decci_: you'll need to in six months anyway [11:19] gordonjcp: not on server [11:19] gordonjcp: Please understand my manager is sticking to the point that he needs this combination only [11:19] Could not find "/home/quetzacotl/.config/autostart". [11:19] it's april 2015 for server [11:19] gordonjcp: Is it possible in anyway to get it work? [11:19] decci_, what do you mean by 'some application working'? [11:20] so this nautilus is just an explorer [11:20] yup [11:20] gry: Sorry you can leave it behind..just need you suggestion on how can it be achieve [11:20] quetzacotl: I can pastebin you an example if you like. [11:20] I'll google it [11:20] decci_: you could backport it [11:20] decci_: grab the source package and see if it works [11:20] quetzacotl: gimme 2 seconds, i'll have one faster than you can 'google it' [11:20] guys u want to help a lad out :P ? [11:21] gordonjcp: Can you help me where shall I find the source code? [11:21] ok, thanks [11:21] decci_: if you need to ask that, you'll struggle with backporting [11:21] KooolaNL: just ask [11:21] i only require a facebook like :P [11:21] cism is always in jest, it's not meant to be serious :P [11:21] [13:20] * z7x (~z7x@fap.fap.mode) has joined #sceneaccess [11:21] https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=197889873677327&set=oa.467460936600215&type=1&theater * [11:21] KooolaNL: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:21] sorry [11:21] KooolaNL: sorry, I have trouble understanding the question [11:21] gordonjcp: A resource or link could be helpful..though I know kernel compilation :) [11:21] decci_: have a look at the page for the package in Precise [11:22] decci_: you might be lucky and it'll more-or-less just work [11:22] quetzacotl: wget -O ~/Desktop/sample.desktop https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/dropbox.desktop [11:22] decci_: make it clear to your manager that *now* is the time to start looking at updating to 12.04 [11:22] quetzacotl: you can edit the lines to fit your needs, you can even download a custom icon online. [11:23] gordonjcp: I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [11:24] gordonjcp: Found this too http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666108 [11:24] Debian bug 666108 in src:linux-2.6 "Dell PERC H710P is not supported by Squeeze Standard Kernel" [Important,Open] [11:24] 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] quetzacotl: the launcher won't do anything unless you have dropbox installed. [11:25] quetzacotl: think [11:26] 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] I don't want you to, it's just overhelming [11:26] quetzacotl: so why are you running the file without editting it when obviously it doesn't do what you want? [11:26] I thougt it will open in some text editor [11:27] quetzacotl: if you open the file in gedit, you can change the file to what you want it to achieve [11:27] 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] decci_: have a shot at compiling it, like I said, and see what horrible disastrous fireball and wreckage you end up with [11:27] decci_: if it works perfectly, great; if you get errors, well that's less great but you know where to look [11:30] 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] 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] ok, I edited it, do I have to put it into directory with my app? [11:30] morethananoise: tried logging off and on? [11:31] quetzacotl: no, just make sure the Exec= line uses the full path to the application [11:31] ActionParsnip: Not just once. :) [11:31] 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] 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] bibi23: use `export MYVAR='value'` [11:34] bibi23, export it [11:34] 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] quetzacotl: the file you have will run the binary you pointed it to [11:35] quetzacotl: when you double click iy [11:35] this is application that I want users to download from web and just like any app [11:35] run [11:35] fry: thx, it worked! [11:35] gry: thx, it worked! [11:36] I'm confused, but thanks for help and patience [11:36] normally in linux you dont download apps from the web. :0 thats a windows 'standard' [11:36] dr_willis so how u get them, I know I can from repo [11:36] you use the package manager tools to download/install apps. [11:37] its like the original 'app market' sort of idea [11:37] but how can I put my app to repo [11:37] you can make your own ppa. [11:37] ppa [11:37] !ppa [11:37] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[11:41] my brain is going to blow up, too much information ;p [11:41] I explored but couldnt find it for ubuntu...for debian its there [11:41] but I'll try [11:41] decci_: you could report a bug and it may happen [11:41] decci_: may be ppa's for it also [11:42] 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] quetzacotl: I suggest you change it's filename from dropbox.desktop too, if you install dropbox it will overwrite your efforts [11:42] it's sample.desktop [11:43] MyUberApp.desktop ;) [11:43] quetzacotl: thats cool, may want to call it something slighty more meaningful [11:43] yes, of course, I know that at least, now I'm just testing how to make app :) [11:44] quetzacotl: did you give it a nice icon too? [11:44] I will [11:44] when it comes to the point I have to distribute it [11:45] quetzacotl: do you mean between users on the same PC, or multiple PCs? [11:46] multiple [11:46] quetzacotl: you wil need to copy it between [11:46] Hi. I tried to install oracle java using apt-get install. but it fails to download it [11:46] I can not remove nor install it. [11:46] what should I do:( [11:47] quetzacotl: copy it to /usr/share/applications and it will be accessible to all users on that system you put it on [11:47] milani: do you mean oracle-java7-installer ? [11:47] yeah [11:48] ActionParsnip: I wish Ubuntu has the same http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ [11:48] ActionParsnip: This has Linux 3.x which supports the PERC cards [11:48] Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.

[12:05] 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] I'm working in a prebuilt Ubuntu 10.04 server CLI instance in a VM.

[12:21] (using Xubuntu and the Alt-Shift trick doesn't seem to work here) [12:21] 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] 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] cousteau: so for example, I use « xmodmap -option 'compose:menu' ». Uh, yeah sorry. I meant "xmodmap" and not "setxkbpmap" apparently :) [12:23] cousteau: actually, now that I check, you can do it with both commands [12:24] xmodmap, that was it! [12:24] 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] 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] so... xmodmap keysym CapsLock = Compose or something like that? [12:27] 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] 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] jrib, checked. Compose ' c -> ç [12:29] cousteau: must be your layout [12:29] * sjerk22 likes that [12:29] 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] not exactly layout, more like locale or something, right? === sjerk22 is now known as ScriptJerk [12:30] 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] layout only controls which char/event is associated to each key, not how compose or deadkey sequences work [12:30] cousteau: and actually I see dead keys defined in that file too [12:30] cousteau: yes, you are right [12:30] hi all [12:30] 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] is there a ec2 branch of precise kernel just as lucid has one? [12:30] My dmesg says http://pastebin.com/Lb4FC57S [12:31] ok. I think the best way to go would be to make my own /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose [12:31] litsa: you might have better luck at #grub [12:31] and smartctl says http://pastebin.com/xdGggnXx [12:31] cousteau: well, you should be able to just use ~/.Xcompose in your HOME [12:31] is it that my HDD is about to die...? [12:31] jrib, oh, so that overrides the /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose one [12:32] Seems /etc/default/keyboard doesn't exist and keyboard-configuration isn't installed? [12:32] thanks blipblip [12:32] 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] KjetilK: ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in all my hardware these days. more hd failures then all other failures.

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] 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...

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.

Ascavasaion I ran `nmask -v -p ` and it showed that it's closed, just fyi [14:13] Ascavasaion: So how [exactly] did you "enable on ports 137,138,139, and 445"? [14:14] e66: i can open your pastebin === atrius_away is now known as atrius [14:14] Ascavasaion: Did you use ufw ? [14:15] e66: are you using mixed sources.list [14:16] Ascavasaion: Let me preface this firewall discussion with the statement that Ubuntu blocks nothing by default. [14:16] e66: are you using mixed sources.list ? [14:16] usr13: In Firestarter firewall tool. [14:17] e66 type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here [14:17] Ascavasaion: So you were running firestarter before attempting to use samba? [14:17] usr13: YEs. [14:19] 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] blackshirt: mixed source list mean? [14:19] Ascavasaion: You could use nmap to check. Just run nmap from one of the other PCs and see if you have access. [14:20] e66 type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here === chamunks is now known as AFKMunks [14:20] MonkeyDust: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230525/ === AFKMunks is now known as chamunks [14:21] e66, your pastebin says, there are two version of libboost available ... [14:21] Ascavasaion: closed means that there is no service listening, filtered means it is blocked. [14:21] I see there are three versions. 1.40, 1.46.1, 1.48.0 [14:22] blackshirt: But its normal as i see many packages have many versions in the repo. It should be okay. [14:22] 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. === lucas_nemeth_ is now known as lucas_nemeth [14:23] e66 i'm worried about mixed 32bit and 64bit sources / packages [14:23] 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] blackshirt: enter dpkg -l '*libcurl*' in your command prompt. you'll see how many versions are in repo. there should be 3 [14:24] So I dont think multiple version is a problem. [14:25] MonkeyDust: how can that happen? I install libs from repo and compile source. never install a binary out of repo. [14:26] e66 like Hit http://deb.playonlinux.com precise/main i386 Packages [14:26] hey, can someone help me with a pxe install? [14:26] e66 and Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages [14:28] MonkeyDust: I also see Hit http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd precise/main i386 Packages [14:28] I think its the default behavior. [14:29] 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] ActionParsnip : your tips can't be work. finaly i uninstall all compiz [14:30] MonkeyDust: `ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ -1 | grep -i 386` also does not output anything [14:30] hal hit the delete key, happens here, too [14:31] 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] MonkeyDust: yes you are right! Ugh, what is going on with this release of ubuntu? there are so many annoyances :/ [14:32] Ascavasaion: If it says open, you are good, filtered, it is blocked by firewall, or closed, means that samba is not listening. [14:32] MonkeyDust: thank you very much for your help. Thank goodness you are here! ;) [14:33] usr13: Just installing nmap. then will try. [14:34] usr13: It says 139/tcp closed netbios-ssn [14:34] Ascavasaion: Looks like samba is not running. [14:35] MonkeyDust: ah, I have just found that the menu item is simply greyed, but not disabled. It still works regardless of the colour === matt_ is now known as Guest67429 [14:35] usr13: HAHA! [14:35] how to make usb flash boot with windows 7 in ubuntu ? [14:36] MasterOfDisaster: unetbootin [14:36] MASTERPIECE you want a bootable win7 ? [14:36] yes [14:36] but with my usb flash [14:36] MASTERPIECE better aks in ##windows [14:36] nooooooooooootttt [14:37] how to make bootable usb flash with ubuntu [14:37] hello folks! I would like Ubuntu to boot with text information (like debian) instead of having the splash screen at boot time. How can I do that? Thanks [14:37] MasterOfDisaster: UNETBOOTIN is the tool you want [14:38] MASTERPIECE but i'm not sure you can make windows bootable from flash [14:38] windows 7 [14:38] can anyone of you help me with some problems I encounter during an install via PXE? [14:38] MASTERPIECE: go for yumi [14:38] I still want lightdm or whatever to kick in, just I want to see the services starting texts etc at boot time instead of the dots and ubuntu logo [14:38] lduros: alternate installer or hit F6 during bootup - at least I tihnk it's f6 [14:39] cfhowlett: but I already installed ubuntu. [14:39] lduros try alt-tab to see the text during the dots [14:39] MonkeyDust: but is there a way to make this permanent? [14:39] ? [14:39] !text | lduros you mean this? [14:39] lduros you mean this?: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [14:40] ubottu: MonkeyDust I guess so [14:40] lduros: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:40] thanks [14:41] 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] AdvoWork: yes. Note that not all services are controlled by that now (in fact, most have been switched over to upstart) [14:46] Hi all [14:46] 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] Wilson2B: which video chip? [14:53] 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] 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] (or directly) [14:56] 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?

[15:40] usr13_, is there a way to do this then? [15:40] AdvoWork: You have to put them into a firewall script, if you have one, if not create one.

[15:41] usr13_, im literally doing this: http://pastebin.com/y2S9YMcw [15:41] usr13_, and yeah its from terminal [15:41] AdvoWork: WHen you do it from the command line, it is good for that session only. [15:42] usr13_, argh, thats not good then, i need it to survive a reboot(one or more reboots) [15:42] is there an easy way to remote desktop with an Lubuntu system on my local network with little to no additional configuration needed?

[15:51] I just set up an Ubuntu 12.04 server, need to stick a vanilla MySQL server on it.

[15:53] jrib: is it possible that I it is because I have two desktop environment? [15:53] AdvoWork: And no, it does not say that you no longer need iptables. [15:54] 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] c2tarun: did you load both of them? [15:54] jrib: what do mean by both of them? I can start only one at a time right? [15:55] 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] jrib: nope, actually I haven't logged into unity for months [15:56] 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] how do I start wpa_supplicant in system tray? [15:58] hi [15:58] eduardo_ guess you don't, it's something you add in /etc/networks [15:59] usr13_, just fyi, i tried the rc.local thing, it doesn't survive a reboot for some reason [15:59] AdvoWork: ls -l /etc/rc.local #Show me [16:00] AdvoWork: pastebinit /etc/rc.local #Send resulting URL [16:00] dr_willis:u got greasemonkey installed?

[16:02] wtf??? xd [16:02] 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] jrib: ohh... [16:02] usr13_, ok sec [16:03] 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] _mis_tere_: preface that with / [16:06] usr13_, sorry for delay: http://pastebin.com/nHQFW37n === reed_ is now known as reed === florin is now known as Guest1506 [16:09] Quick question. I installed skype and for some reason, it took *forever*. After looking at dpkg.log, I found this: [16:09] http://pastebin.com/hLCyangv (I filtered out "status installed" only) [16:10] does skype really have that many dependencies or did I do something wrong? [16:10] anyone know if there is a third party mod/addon/package to allow MAAS to work for IA64 machines? [16:10] 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] ClientAlive: for me... It glows when it's *on* [16:13] mjuszczak: if you run 64bit ubuntu, yes [16:13] mjuszczak: its still the 32bit app, so you install a tonne of 32bit packages as deps [16:14] ahhh, okay. Yes, I run 64 bit ubuntu. [16:14] usr13_, urgh, even doing all my iptables stuff, then doing iptables-save and then rebooting, still loses all the stuff [16:14] f00dMonsta: So if I can see the letters/ word "off" then it means the button is on? [16:14] mjuszczak: thats why, until skype (microsoft) kick out a real 64bit client, you will get this [16:14] i noticed that about skype too, but didn't care enough to ask why lol [16:14] AdvoWork: What are you expecting to accomplish with the rules you have? [16:15] ClientAlive: for me... I see "On" and it's "glowing" orange [16:15] ClientAlive: and when I see Off, it's grey [16:15] 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] what is the difference between rub-compass and libcompass-ruby1.8 in the repos? [16:16] ruby-compass* [16:17] erictr1ck: not sure, maybe aptitude show rub-compass says something different that aptitude show libcompass-ruby1.8 [16:17] AdvoWork: Are you sure it's not working? Have you checked from another PC? [16:17] 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] 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] 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] 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] AdvoWork: Probably the only one you need. But check to see if any of those ports are filtered. [16:19] ClientAlive: FOr me, seeing "ON" means it's ON [16:19] usr13_, will do thanks, any suggestions about getting past the reboot bit ? as the rules go when I do [16:19] f00dMonsta: great. thank you. [16:20] 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] f00dMonsta: personal taste. I like apt-fast personally :) [16:20] !aptitude | f00dMonsta [16:20] f00dMonsta: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [16:20] ActionParsnip: ahhh okay :) Thanks! [16:21] deadmund, aptitude show ruby-compass.. provides libcompass-ruby1.8 and replaces libcompass-ruby1.8. not exatcly sure what that would mean though. [16:21] AdvoWork: From another PC test with nmap i.e. nmap -p 25 192.168.1.x [16:21] Does anyone use skype-wrapper? [16:21] whats that do? [16:22] Makes skype work nicely with ubuntu 12.04 [16:22] you can minimize it, etc. [16:22] erictr1ck: Not sure, a fork or something similar? Sounds to me like you should install ruby-compass [16:22] but it's a 3rd party ppa so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it (is it safe, etc.) [16:22] mjuszczak: sits in the system tray for me, minimises nice [16:23] AdvoWork: Did you replace YOUR_CLIENT_IP and LOCAL_IP with actual IP addresses? [16:23] AdvoWork: If not, those rules will not work. === matt_ is now known as Guest11555 [16:25] how can I get the boot menu in 12.04 in order to get the kernel menu?

[16:39] please can you tell me how to fix this? [16:39] adami1097: maybe you already had mysql installed and that's why a password could not be set. Is that the case? [16:39] No [16:40] Mysql is not installed [16:40] that is good already ;) [16:40] adami1097: can you pastebin what makes you say that? [16:40] I know as it never installed.

[18:34] can someone answer me the 32-bit vs 64-bit question for Ubuntu? [18:34] I've used both and don't particularly notice the difference -is using 64-bit beneficial [18:34] 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] 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] r00t_r0t: it's probably your graphics card configuration [18:34] yes and they are talking about that i think [18:35] jrib? [18:35] ikonia, how would i fix that? [18:35] 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] adami1097: yes? [18:35] r00t_r0t: it depends on what video card you have and how well it's supported and your current setup [18:35] jrib why can I still connect to my irc server when I have deleted unreal [18:35] video card? [18:35] edora: yes, video card [18:36] also why did my memory decrease [18:36] what is role of that here? [18:36] adami1097: you said yourself ircd is still running [18:36] yeah [18:36] but how as I deleted the dir [18:36] 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] 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] 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] edora: why are you asking what a "video" card has to do with thiat, it's pretty obvious [18:36] if you have one as per required then nothing you need [18:37] r00t_r0t: that's your choice, [18:37] 3083 ircd 15 0 6604 2692 1248 S 0.0 1.0 0:02.64 ircd [18:37] jrib ^ [18:37] 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] ikonia, do i detremine what video card im using and what can be done to fix it. [18:37] Hi. Anyone around at all familiar with iscsi? [18:37] do I need to reboot server? [18:37] edora: what ? [18:37] ikonia, sorry,most people always tell me i should just buy some blank cd's or a usb.lol. [18:37] adami1097: sure, reboot the server [18:38] r00t_r0t: I don't care what you do, it's your machine, your call, no judgment [18:38] oh yes but it also depends what u configured on ubuntu [18:38] I mean for it to dissapear? [18:38] edora: I suggest you stop talking if you are trying to say this about a video card [18:38] 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] jrib how [18:38] yes you r rit but 760 of ram may be reason [18:38] adami1097: how what?

I think I have some Debian gnome 3 varaiation on this desktop; but, on the laptop is not that. [18:40] edora: I dont know why you are telling me this [18:40] it's just started [18:40] How do I get a network assigned hostname do I need to rip out avahi and install isc-dhcp ?

[18:44] chic_: it's just a priority [18:44] chic_: 99/100 don't worry about nice values [18:45] nice should be in [-20 , 20] [18:45] Hi [18:45] it is telling me error in splicing files input/output error [18:45] chic_: it can be what you want [18:45] urgh now my znc's stopped?

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] bekks: It keeps using the name given during install and it is causing problems accepting mail from the internet. Makes postfix config difficult.

I'm trying to make this run as a script [19:19] <[eagle]_> this is my first time here [19:20] [eagle]_: welcome, Do you have an ubuntu support question?

[19:22] 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] pentagon: And using DHCP on a postfix setup will most likely cause problems - why dont you use a static IP?

[19:33] jrog: nvidia 11257276 42 [19:33] I know [19:34] whoever: It is quite long ago I used it. Just reinstalling it now, a moment please :) [19:34] i have eeepc 1225c with cedar trail [19:34] ClientAlive: Good. Now "modinfo nvidia" ? [19:34] dr_willis: i said that for the max resolution card [19:34] !hostname | pentagon [19:34] pentagon: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [19:34] lrs4mnt: ok [19:34] usr13_: I understand hostname but I want it to function by default the way the server edition does. [19:34] the problem is 3d hardware accilaration [19:34] hi [19:34] please help me [19:34] ClientAlive: You'll probably have to put the output in a pastebin, fyi [19:35] dr_willis: yes [19:35] "function by default" bekks ? Anyone ? [19:35] i am on 12.04 [19:35] Whats happening all?! [19:35] nothing [19:35] toshgsh: other then playing with the ati aettings tool. i have no idea. i dont use ati [19:36] pentagon: The server edition has to receive a hostname FROM THE DHCP SERVER to set that. And since you dont want to hear the technical facts, I am stopping helping you now. [19:36] jrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231038/ [19:36] whoever: Is it the latest version from software center? [19:36] anyone use toshiba laptop with 12.04? [19:36] 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] lrs4mnt: its 3.72 [19:36] toshiba makea a lot of laptops jpg [19:37] CyclicFlux: The MBR of the main HD [19:37] whoever: Okay, just wanted to verify I am downloading the right version [19:37] CyclicFlux: MBR of the primary Hard Drive. [19:37] 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] bekks: Ok it does. SO how do I convert my desktop to act just as the server edition. [19:37] CyclicFlux: The one that boots. [19:38] pentagon: So whats the hostname you get from the DHCP server then? [19:38] indeed. I always had fan problems on 11. now use a macbook g4 for 12 . wondering if satellites ran better. [19:38] I take it that means turning off avahi and turning on networking service. [19:38] usr13, I am a bit confused. Traditionally its is after the mbr, and then has a dedicated partition. [19:38] dr_willis: how can i unistall the drivers ? [19:38] CyclicFlux: no [19:38] pentagon: Forget avahai. It has NOTHING to do with your hostname. [19:39] bekks: look at my /whois for the third time. When using server edition it grabs that as hostname [19:39] usr13, so there is by default a separate partition? [19:39] 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] ClientAlive: How did you install the nvidia drivers? [19:40] toshgsh: how did you install them [19:40] CyclicFlux: MBR consists of 512 or more bytes located in the first sector of the drive. [19:40] dr_willis: wrong sorry [19:40] anyone ? [19:40] dr_willis: iam trying from the ati panel [19:40] 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] CyclicFlux: No, it is not a separate partition. [19:41] 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] 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] ClientAlive: Okay. You are using the older version of the drivers. You need to update them. [19:42] ok [19:42] bekks: The partition table is also in the MBR [19:42] SO how do I strip that generic string out? [19:42] jrog: It isn't the other way round? That my kernel module is older than the drivers? [19:42] I'm having issues with NFS mounts, would this be the correct channel for that? [19:43] mouseclone: Sure [19:43] 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] 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] Its kinda weird === ares_ is now known as Guest29070 [19:44] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] Hi :) I'm not a linux expert.. we are running 10 LTS version, with upstart as the main system startup. I was in Webmin (yes, I know... its not ubuntu friendly, its used mainly for database aspect) and noticed the boot system is now changed to SysV... how can I set it back to being upstart? Thanks :) === mike_ is now known as Guest40083 [19:46] I'm trying to hook up a netgear nas or a tandberg nas, both seem to have the same issue with writing across the network. [19:46] bekks: The first 448 is the "Bootstrap code area" yes, but the "MBR" also contains or includes the partition table. [19:47] alecb: To start, what's the output of "lspci | grep -i network" (without the quotes) [19:48] jrog: I see. Thanks for the link and the info. :) [19:48] jrog: [19:48] peace out man [19:48] ClientAlive: No problem, good luck. [19:48] jrog: 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) [19:48] jrog: (there's also a line for the ethernet adapter) [19:49] bekks: actually, I think it is 446 not 448 [19:49] usr13_: You are wrong. It is 448 Bytes. :) [19:49] can i use an external display connected to my laptop and be able to work on both of them without decrease the native resolution? [19:49] 448 + 64 = 512. [19:49] hi, i have installed forked-daapd but i can't access the webinterface === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [19:50] alecb: Thanks. What's the output of "lsmod | grep -i rtl8192c" [19:50] bekks: boot signature = 2 [19:51] bekks: Your coments (and mine as of late), are OT and should be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic. Sorry to correct you but, just stating the facts. [19:53] can i use an external display connected to my laptop and be able to work on both of them without decrease the native resolution? [19:53] toshgsh: Should be able to. You just have to choose suitable screen sizes for each. [19:55] jrog: sorry, d/ced [19:55] usr13_: what do you mean by suitable [19:55] alecbenzer: No problem. What's the output of "lsmod | grep -i rtl8192c"? === james is now known as Guest63906 [19:56] usr13_: i want to use the native resolution on both of them [19:57] so im trying to install an app (fire.app) that requires system tray access. the documentation says to change systray-whitelist to 'all' which does work, but also allows all types of othe rapps i do not want to appear in the system-tray. i would like to JUST add fire.app to the white list but cannot figure out how to reference it. in the system monitor it shows as fire-app.jar but simply adding fire-app.jar to the whitelist does not work. any suggesti [19:57] toshgsh: "native resolution" is a relative term. [19:58] usr13: my laptop native res is 1366x768 is the external is 1440x900 [19:58] toshgsh: By suitable, I mean one that fits. If the external monitor needs to be 1440x900, so be it. [19:58] ons? [19:58] hi [19:59] usr13_: okay then how can i do this? [20:00] toshgsh: Use the display adapter's config menu. i.e. On mine it would be "NIDIA X Server Settings". [20:00] usr13_: i have ati and it doesnt let me to apply the settings [20:00] usr13_: either from ati panel or ubuntu panel [20:00] toshgsh: Well, I guess you may be stuck with xrandr [20:01] new to xubuntu how do i install plugins for parole to play mp3,avi,flv etc [20:01] toshgsh: ATI is not the best choice .... IMHO [20:01] usr13_: why do you say that? [20:02] I dono. It just poped into my head. === Guest94196 is now known as Jemmy [20:02] 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] new to xubuntu how do i install plugins for parole to play mp3,avi,flv etc [20:02] usr13_: i can use both of them in windows [20:02] Hii [20:02] Froward: what did you do before? [20:03] toshgsh: Did you try xrandr ? [20:03] new to xubuntu how do i install plugins for parole to play mp3,avi,flv etc [20:03] i just recommend anyone to never ever play around with the "bins" package. 1080 bitches kept me awake all afternoon. [20:03] usr13_: no but i dont know how can i apply in this configuration [20:04] Froward disable desktop effects, saves a lot of energy [20:04] james_: Same way as you did in Ubuntu. [20:04] OerHeks: even when I boot into windows! it's cray cra. [20:04] Froward then it is not an ubuntu-issue [20:04] now i got dat optimized gallery [20:05] whats the command on ubuntu to view USB-to-serial adapters [20:05] toshgsh: Open a terminal window, type xrandr #Hit enter. Read what it says. Go from there.... [20:06] 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] usr13_: i can see the supported resolutions of each screen [20:06] 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] toshgsh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution #This site looks interesting. [20:07] Froward .. or windows did, but highly unlikely one OS did. [20:07] toshgsh: Yea, from there, you should be able to figure out a suitable command to output to the other monitor. [20:07] usr13:am new to linux [20:07] snwh: Tell the installer to use the partition that you use for /home as /home but not to format it [20:07] james_: What plugin is it? [20:07] usr13_:can you help me to do this cause i have a job later [20:08] toshgsh: xrandr | pastebinit [20:08] toshgsh: If I can see what you see, maybe I can figure it out.

[20:20] usr13_:iam using the other oen [20:20] 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] toshgsh: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --rate 59.9 [20:21] try it with lvds?

Well, as I said, to use ndiswrapper you will have to disable those drivers. [20:23] does someone know where menu create with alacarte are stored? === Youri is now known as YBook [20:23] alecb_: so before I do anything with ndiswrapper I should just modprobe -r rtl8192ce ? [20:23] usr13_: ohh same [20:24] 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?

Only wanted to make sure these suggestions weren't simply guesses at the identifiers :) [20:25] james_: Because you forgot to use sudo [20:25] alecb_: Yes. [20:26] alecb_: If it works after doing that, you can permanently blacklist that module.

[20:26] zykotick9: Yes could be [20:26] 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] usr13_: My input would be the same as the input you've given so far, I think!

You will need to elaborate on that just a bit more. [20:36] my / is mounted ReadOnly, what would cause this? and what is used to fix this? [20:36] 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] Hi everybody. My CD/DVD reader cannot detect any disk, how can i fix it? [20:36] How do I use Ubuntu Tweak to set a different background for each virtual desktop? [20:37] guntbert okay thanks i try that [20:37] usr13_: well i want to use the external monitor as a extention of the laptop display [20:38] 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] toshgsh: Well, that's probably what you were doing before. [20:38] usr13_: before? [20:38] 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] i get lots of this guys "hub 2-1:1.0: over-current condition on port 5 [20:38] usr13_: all my actions are repeated in both displays right now [20:39] 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.

[20:49] Evdb: and you have a macbook pro 9.2 ? [20:49] well whatever creates ttyUSB0 i guess i can insert that in boot somewhere [20:50] 9,1 actually, don't really know the difference but it's from the newly released ones [20:50] unsobill: i doubt that's the module name! [20:50] Evdb ok - so what bluetooth manager are you using ? [20:50] im not sure of model name to be honest - it works kinda like plug and play [20:50] Ikonia do I need to install a bluetooth manager? [20:50] unsobill: does "lsusb" from terminal show you?

[22:16] rlw980: sudo apt-get install guvcview [22:16] Libertytrader: sudo apt-get install guvcview [22:17] rlw980: telling the channel what webcam you have. and what program you are using it with - would probably help. FYI does the webcam work in cheese? [22:18] toshgsh: I've done that command [22:18] After a few days, Linux Mint installed on my computer and a few positive and a few negative experiences, i came to the decision that i want to stay on ubuntu because ubuntu has a larger and more experienced community that has much wiser recommendations sometimes than the guys from Linux Mint. I'm proud to use Ubuntu Linux and i think this will last for quite a while. Thank you. [22:18] rl2980: open it [22:18] toshgsh: open what? [22:19] type guvcview in terminal [22:19] That said you know that i'm back at ubuntu when i ask questions about some stuff :) [22:19] hello, I recently installed a Win-TV internal tv tuner card, and am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I was wondering how I might go about getting it to be recognized [22:19] I downloaded and previously installed tvtime [22:19] and i don't have an option now to switch to the tv tuner card for the input... [22:20] rlw980: tell me what do you see [22:20] is it simply a matter of reinstalling tvtime? [22:21] toshgsh, my webcam displays video but I have no sound from it [22:21] IT isn't an option in the ubuntu sound settings [22:21] or do i need to install a driver for it..... [22:21] toshgsh [22:21] : in guvcview there is an audio panel [22:21] toshgsh: I see myself [22:22] rlw980:webcam is working then.. [22:22] zykotick9: sorry [22:22] toshgsh, there is no webcam option for audio [22:22] just intel sound and like pulse [22:22] toshgsh: yeah, but when i go online let's say Facebook for e.g. nothing shows [22:22] are there visual effects in ubuntu 12.04 if so how can i turn them off ?? [22:22] : in input device what option is checked [22:23] 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] because you could turn them of in 11.04 [22:23] my computer is basically unuseable after updating a driver. What do I do? I need to use that computer. [22:23] toshgsh, hda intel pch [22:23] :sound is checked? [22:23] yes [22:23] who use the sdk tezin ? [22:24] ClientAlive: a driver using "apt-get" or the GUI drivers thing? uninstall it from cli. [22:24] zykotick9: Using Additional Drivers - it was the upgrade version of my graphics drivers (nvidia) [22:25] toshgsh: guvcview is asking me restart my computer, shall I do it? [22:25] how? [22:25] ClientAlive: from cli "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" [22:25] rlw980: what do you mean when you go online in facebook webcam doesnt work [22:25] :type alsamixer in terminal [22:25] :then press F6 [22:26] ClientAlive: did you add a repository or ppa? [22:26] toshgsh, my webcam is "lenovo easycam" [22:26] :what sound card is checked [22:26] 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] !mint [22:26] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[22:27] all except s/pdif [22:27] rlw980: okay reboot its good [22:27] !alis | Heebie1 [22:27] Heebie1: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [22:27] 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] Heebie1: what's VMM and by KVM do you mean Kernel Virtual Machine or Keyboard Video Mouse? [22:28] 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] zykotick9: Kernel Virtual Machine with VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) in Ubuntu 12.04. (Win XP is BSOD'ing.. trying to figure out why.) [22:29] : lets try another software,maybe this is the problem [22:29] : sudo apt-get install guvcview [22:29] 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] i have been try using guvcview [22:29] Heebie1: is VMM a gui front end for kvm then? [22:30] 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] zykotick9: Yes, it's the default manager for KVM and QEMU virtualisation. [22:30] : wait [22:30] Heebie1: FYI, the #kvm won't support it. neither will i. best of luck. [22:30] toshgsh: back [22:31] zykotick9: Ok, this if fine but if I uninstall it from the comand line what state will that leave my system in? [22:31] rlw980: maybe some plugins are required for browser [22:31] ClientAlive: purge -current-updates, reboot. try reinstalling -current, what is the error? === rofl is now known as Tux [22:31] toshgsh: I can't, haven't you heard [22:31] ClientAlive: first! "lscpi | grep -i vga" [22:31] : do you have a microphone? [22:31] ClientAlive: is this an older card? [22:32] rlw980: why you cant? [22:32] zykotick9: ok, I see it. [22:32] zykotick9: this is a machine built about 8 mos ago from brand new parts (at the time) [22:32] toshgsh: I can't remember somthing about java virus I think [22:32] toshgsh: It was on the news [22:33] zykotick9: my card is a: GF108 (GeForce GT 440) [22:33] toshgsh: by the way, my webcam is a EyeToy [22:34] rlw980: news? [22:34] random q: anybody here have ubuntu 12 installed on Asus x401a? Thinking about getting one [22:35] toshgsh: don't worry about it now [22:35] 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] ClientAlive: so what does happen when you install -current? 295.40-0ubuntu1.1 "looks" like it should work with your card? [22:35] toshgsh: my webcam is eyetoy [22:35] how do I make a terminal program get run on startup using CLI [22:36] rlw980:yeah copy that [22:36] zalzane: " run on startup using CLI" is rather unclear. could you reword it? or be more specific? [22:36] toshgsh: what can I do [22:36] im using awesomewm and want a program (wicd-curses) to run when awesome starts [22:36] 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] I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting my Win-TV internal tuner card to be recognized... [22:36] everyone keeps telling me to use rc.local but thats run when the system is booted [22:37] rlw980:i didnt use facebook webcam [22:37] rlw980:did you try skype? [22:37] zalzane: you should ask #awesome on irc.oftc.net. They can probably give you the best advice [22:37] okay thanks [22:37] toshgsh: Shall do now, for you buddy [22:38] ClientAlive: TIP! if you mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.disabled nvidia-propritary WONT work! [22:38] does anyone here have any information on installing a Win-TV hauupage internal tv tuner card into a ubuntu linux computer? === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [22:38] How can I change the virtual desktop settings in 12.04? [22:38] zykotick9: Well, I don't understand that. I'm sorry. [22:39] andrewh192: does "lspci | grep -i video" show a Conexant chip? [22:39] It seems like I have a huge virtual desktop that spans 4 desktop sizes. [22:39] ClientAlive: to disable nvidia propritary driver - rename one file. /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something else. [22:39] : do you know how to find if microphone is properly working? [22:40] zykotick9: yep [22:41] : maybe the microphone is muted [22:41] 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] zykotick9: maybe the nvidia driver creates it, because I don't think I ever did. [22:42] 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] 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? [22:42] : in alsamixer if you press F4(capture) you can see if the meters are up [22:43] ClientAlive: running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" creates it! and it's more or less a requirement for nvidia-propritary to run! [22:43] andrewh192: sorry, i've never used tvtime :( i'm no help. [22:43] : if you can see the bars the you have microphone connected and is working [22:43] zykotick9: I see [22:44] rlw980: any progress? [22:44] 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] toshgsh: Nope buddy, Just comes up with a green screen [22:44] zykotick9: hmmmm [22:44] zykotick9: ok, thanx [22:45] toshgsh, no movement whatsoever on alsamixer [22:45] zykotick9: did a mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disable and then rebooted. Still logs into tty session [22:45] : when you press F4 you can anything here? [22:45] ClientAlive: you need to look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for lines with EE [22:45] toshgsh, i just have intel audio [22:46] rlw980: in video devices what do you see [22:46] rlw980: in skype [22:46] 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? [22:46] type F5 can you see anything about Internal Mc or external or capture? [22:47] trippy_1: what's the output of "lspci | grep -i vga" [22:47] rlw980: in the section that says: select a webcam [22:48] Is it just me or is Unity worse the Gnome 3 when it comes to customizing it?

What does it mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1231333/ [22:48] toshgsh: EyeToy USB camera Namtai (/dev/video0) [22:48] zykotick9 - I will run the command, give me a moment.

[22:51] rlw980: on the problem it seems that eye toy webcam arent supported either in windows or skype [22:51] zykotick9: yes this is after reboot as well [22:51] zykotick9: but the original problem still persists [22:52] toshgsh: right, can I use it has a Webcam or not pal [22:52] ClientAlive: is nvidia still installed? "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" have rc beside everything or ii (installed)? [22:52] It loks like anohter try to my previous one [22:52] it says (prog -if 00 [VGA Controller]) [22:52] 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] so in total it says: VGA comptible controller: intel corp 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [22:53] 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?

[22:54] toshgsh: Ok, it's Zorin 6 Core 32 [22:54] zykotick9 - It loosk like its listing to cards to me. [22:54] usr13_: can you explain the boot=casper variable in the grub2/bootiso examples [22:54] 2 entries are in there for the graphics controller [22:54] Do you want to see the output? [22:54] 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.

[22:55] 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] hi all [22:56] ClientAlive: pastebinit isn't an Xorg program, must have been something else... [22:57] 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] 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...

In the script I wrote "DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc foo.avi" but the vlc screen doesn't appear. what's wrong? [23:03] 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] 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] i dont know yet* [23:03] toshgsh: Ok, where do I go first, to terminal [23:04] zykotick9: Initial login is tty session [23:04] rlw980: go to the skype folder [23:05] wilee-nilee: yeah I know. what file system does ubuntu install by default (automatically)? lvm or what?

[23:07] wilee-nilee: right. and the partitions scheme? i.e: /boot, /, /home, etc... any ideas? [23:07] 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] rlw980: .. [23:07] 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] 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] dlirit, I just use one ext4 for the OS and I don't use a swap personally. [23:08] 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?

[23:10] zykotick9: np.

[23:11] drussell, ping [23:11] rlw980: ? [23:11] wilee-nilee: really? that much? I figured the ubuntu installer could take care of that... [23:11] dlirit, The general consensus is let windows 7 resize for safety. [23:12] ahh no one? no easy way to tell what I can delete from /boot to free up space on /boot? :( [23:12] can anyone tell me === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [23:12] if there is a directx replacement ?

[23:17] k [23:17] thanks [23:17] toshgsh:done? [23:17] rlw980: done what? [23:17] dlirit, no problem, you want to be aware though of max amounts of partitions and types allowed on a single HD is all.

[23:19] 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.

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] i c , so let is gaming 4 windows [23:22] yup wine is your best bet, whats the wine fork made fo rgaming that costs money? cedega? === michael is now known as Guest49691 [23:22] alguem fala português aki ???? [23:22] i hope this fixed soon , and ubuntu and the whole linux distrubitions be able to run .exe files under SAND BOX [23:23] lol [23:23] SAND BOX , is away to limit collecting and gaining and editing and modifing informaion [23:23] !pt | Guest49691 [23:23] Guest49691: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:23] 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] #Ubuntu-br [23:23] quit [23:24] 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 === Guest49691 is now known as Michael____ [23:25] C U guys [23:26] 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] 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] zykotick9 - How can I add somthing to the kernel boot option? [23:28] The site says I can add a trigger to turn off acpi [23:28] wilee-nilee: I actually defragged it earlier (then zeroed out the 'free space' and shrunk a virtualbox vm vdi file) === halfalife is now known as Seednode [23:28] wilee-nilee: just analyzed the disk and it's 0% fragmented [23:29] trippy_1: /etc/default/grub [23:29] 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] 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] trippy_1: that first link was a nightmare (manually setting montiors resolution and sync can potentially be dangerous to hardware BTW) [23:32] 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] k will look into it [23:33] 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] Is there anyway to lower the gamma in ubuntu? [23:34] paco_: reinstall [23:34] 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] paco_: unless you have 4+GB RAM AND/OR you doing tons of encoding video/media. stick with 32bit. [23:35] When it comes to defragging in Windows, I usually use Defraggler. [23:36] toshgsh: I'm really sorry [23:36] 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] rlw980: haahahhah :P [23:36] I dont always defrag my hardrive, but when I do I use Defragger [23:36] toshgsh:Damm, Internet connection =P [23:36] anyone tried to get Arduino 0023 to run on 12.04? [23:37] faLUCE: bad idea modifiying roots path! why are you usuing root account anyways? [23:37] rlw980: type in terminal cd ~/.Skype/yourskypename [23:37] rlw980: are you in> [23:37] zykotick9: I have under control all. how can I modify them? [23:38] toshgsh: yes ] [23:38] zykotick9: I have under control all. how can I modify it? [23:38] rlw980: can you see config.xml? [23:39] otherewise, how can I assign to a script maximum privileges even if executed as a normal user? [23:39] 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] ...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] rlw980: backup up time somewhere [23:39] rlw980: backup up this somewhere [23:39] toshgsh: back up what? [23:39] rlw980: the config.xml [23:40] rlw980: copy the the thing [23:41] toshgsh: wooo slow yeah mate, I'm rusing now ;-) [23:42] how can I figure out which /dev items are which hardware items? [23:43] 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] 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] toshgsh: right ok, matey [23:43] 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] Lasivian: can't you enter it in the groups ? [23:44] switching the resolution did not work, I added an ACPI=off tag in the grub [23:44] so lt's seehow that goes [23:44] paco_: no 32->64bit upgrade exists. you need to reinstall if you want to switch. [23:45] 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] 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] Lasivian: fyi that chmod would only work until a reboot, useless solution really. [23:45] Lasivian: at which section are you now? [23:45] figures, back to square 1 [23:46] veryhappy: serial port is greyed out, seems the user has no access [23:46] tho of course the software won;t compile anything but that's a different disaster [23:46] rlw980: okay.. [23:46] 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] rlw980: are you in the file? [23:47] bkovacs: Doesn't matter, you can access Windows storage from Ubuntu. [23:48] Lasivian: install "librxtx-java", "arduino-core" and "arduino" and it should work. [23:49] DaemonicApathy:the question is for ubuntu, he cant access the the ubuntu files from windows [23:49] 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] veryhappy: those are all at the newest version [23:49] Lasivian: remember you have to log out and back in to change group membership! [23:49] zykotick9: the user already shows as being in the dialout group [23:49] 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] Lasivian: oh, nevermind then :) [23:50] bkovacs:you can create a ntfs partition so you can store all the files here [23:50] i'm sure much of this is tied to having to use the 0023 version of the arduino software [23:50] 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] i hope you can get arduino running after my hint [23:50] bkovacs, 140 gb - 4.3 gb standard ubuntu = 135,7 gb left. [23:50] veryhappy: hint? [23:50] DaemonicApathy:yeah but maybe sometime this can be an issue [23:51] can a switch be plugged into a router, or can a router only plug into a switch? [23:51] Akiva-Work: either works. [23:51] Lasivian: sorry, i thought it was an advice [23:52] DaemonicApathy bkovacs: i think its better to create a seperate ntfs partition to be able to access it from both os [23:52] veryhappy: the current version of arduino is 1.0.1 and it won;t work with my hardware :) [23:52] So 150GB [23:52] Lasivian: ok, i don't have so much knowledge in arduino [23:52] veryhappy: nobody does :) [23:52] 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] Lasivian: i tried to help tho. [23:53] Akiva-Work: A switch and a router are basically the same thing, except routers these days provide wireless access. [23:53] ie, should work :) [23:53] Akiva-Work: is the router also gigabit? [23:53] yes in fact [23:54] Then yeah, flip a coin. [23:54] Akiva-Work: but doesn't a router actually "route" the informations, while a switch only distributes the same information? [23:54] ... [23:54] veryhappy: I don't know [23:55] 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] DaemonicApathy: Is this correct? [23:55] Wireless router = switch + wireless. [23:55] In fact, what we now call switches, we used to call..."routers". [23:55] really? [23:55] Yeah. [23:55] Akiva-Work: i don't want to be a wiseass but i had this all in my education. [23:56] A switch extends the router ports [23:56] veryhappy: Well, if I tell my boss the wrong thing, it won't matter who was being wise :P [23:56] OerHeks: thanks, that's a good way to put it. [23:56] Akiva-Work: ok. :D [23:56] now has anyone already a recommendation to my stuff that i wrote? [23:58] 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] Akiva-Work: yes, it will extend the ports [23:59] 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] Akiva-Work, sure. [23:59] My kindest regards; My next step is to try to convince my entire company to switch to ubuntu. Wish me luck :)
