[00:00] io__, newest kernel? [00:00] WeThePeople: this is looking worse i can t access even an older kernel now, hold on.. [00:01] WeThePeople: I have cancelled PlayOnLinux and I want to install wine throw terminal same problem [00:01] io__, you can fix them through cli mode [00:01] newest 3.2.0-31 [00:01] ahmedipa, what th problems? [00:02] the [00:02] whats the best way to set swapspace on /dev/sdj2 and ext4 to /dev/sdj3 if you cant use gparted? (no gui) [00:02] davidgilmour: php4 is already at end of life, isn't it? [00:02] Hello, I have problems trying to access my system, I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I only see this massage: mountall: Plymouth command failed. mountall: plymouth disconected from disk / dev/mapper/cryptswap1 not ready or present. -Help please [00:02] io__, can you get to a tty or terminal [00:02] o i am ready to roll [00:02] io, looks like a great idea, thanks [00:02] WeThePeople: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:02] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:02] io__, type sudo do-release-update === AndrewB_ is now known as AndrewB [00:03] WeThePeople: what does that mean [00:03] WeThePeople: the command is wrong [00:03] gunarm1, you can use parted (for advanced) or cfdisk [00:03] io__, im sry its upgrade [00:03] overclucker: yes but I have an application encoded with zend optimizer.. I'm supposed to migrate it and I can't get it to work on PHP 5 === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [00:04] ahmedipa: you have more than one instance of updating or installing software running [00:04] ahmedipa: close everything ans restart synaptics or whatever yo uare using to install [00:04] oscar_ i think you were using crypted swap ? Thats right? [00:05] WeThePeople: i ve already done an apt-get upgrade before [00:05] Hayate: crypted home and swap, yes [00:05] ahmedipa, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/e-could-not-get-lock-var-lib-dpkg-lock-open-11-resource-temporarily-unavailable-360554/ [00:06] Hayate, i tried parted and it basically said "I suck don't use me for this" [00:06] oscar__ , what are you doing now? Do some upgrades? [00:07] guarm1, parted was hard .... Thats for advanced user and usage === edwin is now known as Guest89603 [00:07] gunarm1, parted was hard .... Thats for advanced user and usage [00:07] Hayate: the problem occures when the system sudenly off when i was login === witakr|NiteNite is now known as witakr [00:08] Hey folks [00:08] Hayate, what I mean is parted is apparently deprecated and for FS manipulation and suggests using e2fsprogs [00:08] In Xubuntu 12.04: How do i stop my DVD's/CDs from opening in the file manager and do nothing instead? [00:08] oscar__, maybe you need check disk / fsck your disk [00:09] WeThePeople: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255073/ troubles with video driver i d say [00:09] When I insert the disk that is [00:09] let s reinstall nvidia drivers? [00:09] whats the command to display a bunch of stats about your wifi card including the dB of the signal of the current connection? [00:10] Or I guess what i mean is how do i keep the cd from opening in file manager once it is mounted. [00:10] ? [00:10] gunarm1, actually e2fsprogs contain some tool to mkfs and mkswap..you should explore them [00:10] io__, you could try to reinstall xorg server [00:10] Hayate, looking into that now thanks [00:11] oscar_: make sure you're in recovery or on a live cd if you are going to fsck your root partition [00:11] Hi, i tried to upgrade to the latest LTS version but unfortunately, the set up didn't complete... It won't log on to X but seems that all my data are still intact. [00:11] No one knows? Okiedoke nevermind [00:11] Is there a way I could install Ubuntu on top and above or try to upgrade again? [00:12] StepNjump, Throw the backup on and try again [00:12] nvidia removed, let s restart [00:12] witakr, you can look at file manager settings,usually under media [00:12] overclucker: how do i do a fsck from recovery? [00:12] yeah! bingo [00:13] Thanks Hayate [00:13] StepNjump, What release were you upgrading from? [00:16] Hayate: i already made the fsck [00:16] oscar_: just to check, it's your encrypted home partition that's giving you trouble, right? [00:17] overcluker: yes [00:17] overclucker, Not mentioned but it was a hard shutdown [00:17] overclucker: yes [00:18] StepNjump: do you have Home in a separate partition¿ [00:19] Hayate, FYI: It was under Settings > Settings Manager > Removable Drives and Media - Thanks for the tip. It let me to this place in a round-a-bout way [00:20] oscar_: what you will have to do is open the encryptd volume with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXN crypthome, and fsck /dev/mapper/crypthome [00:21] oscar_: hold on it may have changed since i last did it === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower [00:23] wilee-nilee.. I think it was 10.04 or something like that... [00:23] xangua no! :( === witakr is now known as witakr|IamGoneri === witakr|IamGoneri is now known as witakr|Goneria [00:24] wilee-nilee no backup as usual! [00:24] I'm having a problem with a fresh 12.04 alternate 32bit install, system with usb hd plugged in doesn't see it, after system is fully up i can manually replug it and then ubuntu will "see" it. I want to mount this usb hd to /usbhd at boot as to use it for a backup target destination. blkid doesn't see it until replug. uuid is strange all around, blkid and /dev/disk/by-uuid show it as "D6D4E78DD4E76E65 -> ../../sdc1" [00:25] StepNjump, Hmm no back up and not knowing what the install actually was, "insert snide remark here" ;) [00:25] overclucker: when i login in a terminal, i can access my archives, the problem is when i use the graphical login. Could it be a configuratión problem? something deleted? [00:25] mkeys: see "/msg ubottu fstab" [00:26] oscar_: running fsck on root is probably the right move, since ubuntu now uses encfs for encrypted hoems === hamdan_ is now known as hamdan [00:26] zykotick9 : tried fstab by uuid and by /dev/sdc1, both fail. options tried so far "auto,hotplug,defaults 0 0" [00:26] Yes I figured.... [00:26] mkeys: is it ext2/3/4? [00:26] zykotick9 : mount -a only works after a replug of device [00:26] zykotick9 : ntfs [00:27] overclucker: i am using ubuntu 11.04 [00:27] mkeys: good luck. i can't/won't help. [00:27] zykotick9 : may I ask why ntfs limits the support? Just trying to figure out the problem [00:27] Hello. If I have a server with two nics that connects to a switch. How can I get a node to talk to the server? === AndrewB_ is now known as AndrewB [00:29] xangua, if I had had a separate home partition, would it have been possible to salvage my system that way? [00:29] zykotick9 : i'm assuming hte strange uuid is associated with ntfs somehow. i've spotted that out on the 'web in my googles. [00:30] StepNjump: well if you had a home partition it would be easier to reinstall since your data and documents are on a separate partition [00:30] oscar_: i think it's the same. try to fsck the root partition, and if that does not fix it, wiping your home folder may be the best option. [00:30] ok.... one of these days! [00:31] hi. just got 12.04. I have 2 monitors and I am using xinerima. But I see 2 seperate tool bars. How can I just have one? [00:32] Led_Zeppelin: with xinerama you should see only 1? what video card are you using "lspci | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure. [00:32] overclucker: all my work is there, i can not delete all [00:33] zykotick9, well, there is 1 desktop alright. it looks great. But I see 2 toolbars on the top. I can move the mouse left to right. [00:33] 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2) [00:33] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1) [00:34] Led_Zeppelin: fyi twin-view is nvidia-propritary version of xinerama (you should probably be using twinview) [00:34] ah [00:34] zykotick9 : will repartition/reformat the usb hd as ext3 and try again. [00:34] How do I keep my 12.04 machine from doing ANYTHING with updates. I'm tired of my computer locking me out of dpkg without my permission. [00:35] zykotick9, thanks. it seems twinview is greyed out for me. [00:35] how do I get it reenabled? [00:35] Led_Zeppelin: are you sure you are using the nvidia-propritary driver? or nouveau? [00:35] overclucker: i can access my folders and archives by using the terminal, so the home is accessible, not blocked. [00:35] Led_Zeppelin: You can't do twinview across multiple GPUs, only across multiple heads/monitors on a single GPU [00:35] zykotick9, using nvidia prop driver. using nvidia-settings to configure. [00:36] TJ-, ah. I see. I have 2 GPUs [00:36] Led_Zeppelin: nvidia-setttings should let you configure it somehow? [00:36] oscar_: Is the problem that you can't find/unlock the ecryptfs home? [00:36] TJ-, so, i can use Xinerama only right? [00:37] oscar_: you can backup the whole home folder, there may be damaged config files kepping you from loggin in though [00:37] Led_Zeppelin: I don't think you can that either - unless you want to forgo 3D acceleration totally. I think the only option is additional X screens - one per GPU [00:37] Led_Zeppelin: is this hybrid intel/nvidia? finding the vga section does "lspci -v" list 2 cards? [00:37] i dont think its a hybrid card. [00:37] i don't care much for 3d acceleration :p [00:37] brb. let me try something [00:37] TJ-: logging in to X fails for him [00:37] TJ: no, i can access the home by the terminal [00:37] Led_Zeppelin: then i don't understand your 2 GPUs statement, sorry. [00:38] zykotick9, i have 2 GPUs. Each monitor connects to one GPU [00:38] Led_Zeppelin: ahh. then that xinerama is probably your only option - best of luck (i haven't used dual-video cards in years) [00:39] oscar_: And you want to decrypt the encrypted part? [00:39] oscar_: Or, has that happened when you logged in? === scott_ is now known as Guest21382 [00:40] TJ: when i try to login [00:40] How do I keep the system from doing ANYTHING with updates? I'm tired of being locked out of dpkg without my permission. [00:41] "sudo apt-get remove dpkg" (No, not really) [00:41] oscar_: User's encrypted homes are stored at "/home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs" [00:41] seednode: please don't make those jokes :/ [00:41] seednode: har har :0 [00:42] oscar_: If you're logged into the account and the ecryptfs hasn't been unlocked, you should see the file README.txt in the home directory, that tells you how to unlock the encrypted part [00:42] I have a problem with internet. How do I get help with it? [00:42] Ask someone, milanandme [00:42] Whom should I ask? [00:42] TJ: this is the massage system say: mountall: Plymouth command failed. mountall: plymouth disconected from disk / dev/mapper/cryptswap1 not ready or present. [00:42] rinzler: Well, I googled something that said to edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic [00:42] rinzler, Is you apt-get stock or have you added stuff, here I never get locked out it sounds more like an error that needs finding, user or system. [00:42] Change APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; to 0 [00:43] oscar_: Oh! That's not encrypted home, that's just the swap file mount getting confused :) Sorry, I thought you had serious problems :D [00:43] not a big deal. I have 2 menus [00:43] so far everything looks good! [00:44] wilee-nilee: stock afaik. [00:44] rinzler, did you pick "automatic updates" when you installed Ubuntu? [00:44] oscar_: which Ubuntu version are you using? 12.04? [00:44] TJ: thanks to say is not a serious problem [00:45] seednode: I frickin hope not. [00:45] TJ: 11.04 [00:45] seednode: that's more elegant than removing update-notifier like i've been doing [00:45] overclucker: Thanks, I googled it myself ^^ [00:45] rinzler, Lookin software sources [00:46] what is the best way to select what processes are running for startup? I want a lean system [00:46] TJ: how can i fix this problem? [00:46] oscar_: The "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1" has been a long-standing issue that still isn't fully understood. We thought it had been fixed several times. It's caused by some out-of-sequence actions during early boot when lots of things are being done in parallel to speed up boot-times. Something gets done in the wrong order. [00:47] Led_Zeppelin: Clean out your ~/.xinitrc, rc.local, and the like === hamdan_ is now known as hamdan [00:47] And remove unnecessary daemons from rc.conf [00:47] Led_Zeppelin: ubuntu currently lacks basic service management... no joke. [00:47] seednode, ok. is there a gui for ubuntu for that? [00:47] oh man [00:48] god knows what is running :p [00:48] Well, Led_Zeppelin, I can walk you through it, if you'd like. [00:48] I don't know if there's a GUI. [00:48] TJ: ok, understand, but can i fix this? [00:48] Led_Zeppelin: you mean user programs when they login? or system services? [00:48] seednode: thanks for the tip. We'll see if that works. :P [00:48] seednode: there isn't, a gui for servie management... [00:48] dr_willis, system services. [00:48] Alright, let me know if it works. [00:48] dr_willis, i will start with that. [00:48] * mkeys twiddles thumbs waiting on mkfs.ext3 on a 1tb usb [00:49] zykotick9, I don't use Ubuntu, that's why I wasn't sure. [00:49] seednode: neither do i [00:49] Led_Zeppelin: for upstart jobs you can disable them selectively: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting [00:49] Oh, okay. [00:49] Led_Zeppelin: No idea of any gui/tools - i just learn how upstart works. ;) --> best guide ive seen --> http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ [00:50] Led_Zeppelin: unless you have a load of services installed, or a very old machine. i doubt if you will notice much improbement by disabling services [00:50] also, how do I find out what is eating my CPU time and what I can do about them? [00:50] dr_willis: Well, he'll probably decrease boot time. [00:50] rinzler, use htop and look for processes with unusually high resource usage. [00:50] rinzler: htop is very handy [00:51] Upstart services are supposed to run in parallel and lightdm even can/will be loaded befor most services are totally done. ;) [00:51] oscar_: I'm not aware of a fix for all causes of the cryptswap1 issues as yet, but you might find something useful by searching the launchpad bug-tracker [00:52] Led_Zeppelin: for controlling old-style SYS-V init scripts, see "man update-rc.d" [00:52] http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting [00:53] zykotick9 : ntfs appears to be the culprit of weird uuid. blkid now shows : /dev/sdc1: LABEL="usbhd" UUID="24a29692-95e3-4077-9f5f-9b661be580e1" TYPE="ext3" . Trying a reboot now.1~ [00:53] what is lightdm? [00:53] with fstab.. [00:53] rinzler: the default login screen/login manager [00:54] rinzler: it is the gui for the OS [00:54] dr_willis: seems to be the thing that stands out as for CPU usage... [00:54] Sadly... [00:54] lobhater: the GUI would be called Xorg. the DM is called lightdm. [00:54] rinzler: is it a older machine? [00:54] rinzler: that would be weird.. since lightdm is just what gets your name/pass on login, then it starts up X for you. [00:54] TJ: i found a webpage, but i dont understand what i have to do, can you help me with this? [00:55] rinzler: i would have to wonder how you came to that conclusion, and if you are not missreading the information you are looking at. [00:55] from the lightdm web page "however it also manages the X servers " [00:55] dr_willis: lightdm requires xorg to run ;) [00:56] Hello. Big trouble here. A friend of mine has bought an asus eeepc 1225C, which contains an Intel GMA 3600. Can't have any resolution higher than 1024x768... I installed Xubuntu 12.04 32 bits. Launched jockey-gtk. Proposed me cedraview drivers for this card... But can't boot now. [00:56] lobhater dr_willis: yeah, it is pretty old. I'm kinda trying to bring it back to useful existence, but it's iffy. [00:56] i mean i can boot but i'm talking to you through weechat on a tty [00:56] oscar_: what's the page? As I said, the causes aren't fully understood and are pretty subtle. You could end up messing the system up properly if you're not skilled in system admin and understand the boot process [00:56] rinzler: for low end/old hardware, lubuntu may be a better alternative. [00:57] rinzler: what are the exact specs? [00:57] Boot stuck with a message : "could not write bytes : broken pipe" [00:57] rinzler: yea you might wanna look at some light weight desktop environment. I bet you can find one you like that allows you to do what you want and not clock you box either [00:58] Ít's 3 o clock here and my friend absolutely needs her laptop for tomorrow morning... If anyone has any idea... [00:58] dr_willis: I'll look into it. Uhm... Dell precision m70 and slow. I haven't cared to find out :P [00:58] TJ: this is the web page : http://askubuntu.com/questions/56843/could-not-mount-dev-mapper-cryptswap1 . if you see it dificul to do something about, just tell me thanks. [00:59] the new ubunty 12.04 is awesome! [00:59] Led_Zeppelin: when it allows you to boot your graphic session. [01:00] I'll be looking into lubuntu, but for now, I'm out. Thanks for the help! [01:00] heh. yah [01:00] No one ? [01:00] lJ6il: hm. I guess you could remove that driver that you may suspect to be the cuplrit, no..? [01:00] i love the eye candy even for my slow ass pc [01:00] lJ6il: have you tried uninstalling the drivers and using the default for now [01:01] lJ6il: or just do a fresh install as a last resort :( [01:01] oscar_: Don't do what it recommends. The answer is totally wrong. The responder hasn't noticed that the line in fstab is commented out *because* cryptswap1 is being mounted! [01:01] lJ6il: How fatal is that error message anyway? I mean, what do you do to then boot anyway? Can you switch tty? Press escape? [01:02] muelli, lobhater sure. I'm removing it. [01:02] TJ: maybe i have to reinstall all, how can i do a backup from the terminal? [01:02] muelli: just can use tty [01:02] ok, it's formatted ext3 now but it still didn't mount at boot. ubuntu prompted me to "press s to skip" upon boot. once it booted fully booted it still didn't pick it up until i manually replugged it [01:03] Rebooting. Coming back. > muelli lobhater [01:03] at replug it automatically mounted to the proper place [01:03] oscar_: A reinstall probably won't help. The issue is caused by timing of device discovery/mounting. If you want to do something, comment out the line in "/etc/fstab" that causes "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1" to be mounted. [01:04] lJ6il - there are several active bug reports. Maybe one of these will offer a solution/workaround? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/?field.searchtext=cedarview [01:04] any luck? [01:04] Hey, whoever I was helping with an internet issues, can you message me again? Hexchat crashed. [01:05] lobhater, muelli ... Purged the drivers. But can't boot... [01:05] lJ6il: how do you know? [01:05] TJ-: thanks, gonna see this [01:05] muelli: cause i just did it ? === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [01:06] But really though, who was I helping? [01:06] lJ6il: what is the error message it is giving you? === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [01:07] lobhater: no more message. "Checking battery state. [ok]" then nothing [01:07] seednode: rinzler ... who has left the building [01:07] No, it was someone else. They were having a weird internet issue. [01:08] TJ: do i have to buy a new pc? [01:08] lJ6il: are you using lightdm? === fuller is now known as fuller_afk [01:08] lobhater: no... Just using xubuntu out of the box (gdm i think ?) [01:08] TJ: how can i edit /etc/fstab? [01:09] sudo /etc/fstab [01:09] like sudo emacs /etc/fstab [01:09] lJ6il: at the tty type sudo service gdm restart [01:09] what does it say then? [01:09] vamp774: only is = terminal app, else, "gksudo GUI_editor file" [01:09] s/is/if/ [01:10] !fstab | oscar_ [01:10] oscar_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions === geek is now known as Guest78419 [01:10] i tried to clone an ubuntu OS partition to another drive, and when I try to boot off of it it just prints garbled characters after the bios, anything I can do to make this work? or should I just reinstall ubuntu? [01:10] lobhater: unrecognized service [01:10] no idea what you're saying: edited fstab the other day. terminal --> sudo emacs /etc/fstab [01:10] I use emacs [01:11] lobhater: coming back (reboot) [01:11] gunarm1, what are you doing to do that? === Guest78419 is now known as c_smith_ [01:13] lJ6il: any luck? if not go to tty startx what is the output? [01:13] lobhater: now it crashes after "stopping system v compatibility [ok]"... [01:14] lobhater: ! Works [01:14] lJ6il: huh? [01:14] lobhater: a bad resolution yet, but back to normal. Thanks. [01:15] lJ6il: startx worked? [01:15] yeah. [01:15] hmmm strange [01:15] good luck [01:15] Hayate, to clone the OS? i did gzip -dc image.gz | dd of=/dev/sdj1 [01:15] thanks... [01:16] np [01:16] after dd if=/dev/sdj1 | gzip > image [01:16] the image went onto the partition, i was able to mount it and write to the file system [01:16] So anyone ? Can't change the resolution of my GMA 3600. When installing the drivers through jockey-gtk, total crash. [01:17] gunarm1: And did you also install GRUB to the MBR of the disk, with "grub-install" ? [01:17] TJ-, ah, no do i need to chroot to the filesystem first? [01:18] gunarm1: Also, is it loading a kernel and initrd of the same architecture as the CPU? [01:18] TJ-, same exact hardware [01:18] but nothing loading, garbled characters where grub should be [01:19] gunarm1: I'd guess so - although to get what you described, would suggest there's a boot-strap in the MBR but it's handing over to something that isn't real code in stage 2 or 3, or else when the kernel is supposed to be fetched [01:19] TJ-, thats over my head :) so if I boot into a live cd, open the terminal, where/how do I run grub-install? [01:19] gunarm1: If you hold down/press Shift key as the BIOS POST ends, can you get into a proper GRUB menu? [01:20] good question, ill try it, but I doubt it [01:20] gunarm1: It'll at least let you know how much you've got to fix-up [01:20] poop [01:22] Weird place to ask but I don't suppose any of you guys have a BTN invite I could get? [01:22] !ot | Domincii [01:22] Domincii: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:22] TJ-, no shift key grub menu, interestingly after rebooting it no more garbled characters, once it said "check" something, and now it goes bios to a blank screen with a blinking curser [01:22] ehe, sorry Jrib [01:23] gunarm1: So, liveISO, chroot mount the installed system, and chroot "grub-install" then [01:23] Is there a way to increase GRUB screen time? to say 60 seconds [01:24] TJ- ok thanks [01:24] howto - in a script - replace sudo's passwordprompt with dialog's '--passwordbox' widget? === AndrewB is now known as AndrewBarber [01:27] K350: There's an alternative. Use the NOPASSWD option in the sudoers file, for the command you want to have the script execute [01:28] Revo: nja, det där var för zenity. Jag behöver något för 'dialog' [01:28] Revo: jag vet hur man gör en passwoordbox i dialog men inte hur jag ersätter sudo's befintliga med dialogs --passwordbox [01:29] Hi, Any alternative to MASM32 on Ubuntu? [01:30] K350: use sudo's "-A" option [01:32] mih1406: what's MASM32? [01:32] mih1406: I *think* jwasm is close [01:32] TJ-: oh...lets see! [01:39] Morning guys :) I am currently solidly using KDE - and I'd like to integrate the gnome desktop and all the necessary bits into my system on Kubuntu. Is there a metapackage to download the whole of the basic gnome stuff in one go please? [01:40] BarkingFish: are you talking about Gnome3? [01:41] TJ: jwasm has differnet format [01:41] chris92, I'm talking about gnome, whatever type it is currently - I'm on kubuntu, I use KDE, i have gnome programs which don't work properly in kde, so I want to add gnome's DM and the main bits of gnome to my system. [01:42] I have no idea what to get though, or where to start [01:42] TJ-: I "think" [01:43] mih1406: yeah, the table does say 'partial' support. I think that's all you're going to get from F/OSS. [01:44] BarkingFish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255172/ [01:44] mih1406: although it does say "JWasm fully supports Masm v6 syntax" [01:44] BarkingFish, spt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but then you need to logout & change DM [01:44] OerHeks: that would be unity, right? [01:44] OerHeks, ok, cheers. [01:44] okay, I'm new to ubuntu and I don't know how to switch between the windows on it [01:44] current gnome3 _ unity yes [01:44] what's the key combo for it? [01:44] BarkingFish, There are some app shared if you have gnome and kde installed but you can't really mix the two together at the same time. [01:44] ChaozHenchman: Alt+Tab probably [01:44] The problem I have is with Kino - it doesn't function from the version I used to have long ago on Mandriva [01:44] thankies! [01:44] ChaozHenchman, You can set that up in Compiz with the compizconfig-session-manager; don't know the defaults. [01:45] ChaozHenchman, hold win key for quick help short keys [01:45] When I try to edit a video now, it runs about 4* faster than it should, and has no audio, regardless of how I set it [01:46] wilee-nilee, no, but to the best of my knowledge I can have more than one DM installed :) [01:46] ChaozHenchman: Hold down the Super/Windows key and you'll get a HUD showing lots of common key combinations === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:48] BarkingFish, sure you can have ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu all installed, but they run separately and have apps that will run cross desktops, but it can be a mess for some especially if you want to remove any of them anf their metapackages without some knowledge in doing this. [01:48] and* [01:49] holy WOW! [01:49] I just went to start the download... 2 packages to remove - 476 to install!!! [01:49] awesome [01:49] ah well, better get started [01:49] BarkingFish: yup, thats a full desktop environment with its apps [01:50] BarkingFish, What I often see are people removing like say the ubuntu-desktop not all the packages and being stuck, because the don't get the package lists from like the psychcats website, or have them saved in a list. [01:50] psychocats* [01:50] TJ-: Thanks [01:50] wilee-nilee, I'm happy to do this. I've tried always to co-exist with whatever comes along, and this will be a new experience for me, encountering unity :) [01:51] I haven't had a gnome desktop for almost 8 years [01:51] cool [01:52] BarkingFish, I suspect you have the skills to figure it all out and if not have some sort of backup. ;) [01:52] or the will to succeed [01:53] been on linux about 10 years now, wilee-nilee - i have backups of the backups and 8 different USB sticks with full installs on [01:54] cool sounds like your set, I have all my clones backed up as well and just have a multi load thumb for when needed BarkingFish [01:54] I have a question regarding Precise Penguin... For some reason I have been defaulted to the 2D graphics settings and I can't find the option for 3D. The reason I need 3D is so I can use keyboard combos such as alt-tab. Anyone know a fix? [01:55] willdabeast: just clic in the icon next to your username in the login screen [01:55] willdabeast, 3D does not show in the gear drop down at login, are you short a graphic driver? [01:55] willdabeast, You shouldn't need 3D to use alt-tab. [01:56] It only switches windows to the best of my knowledge [01:56] i don't run 3D anything here, my card barely supports it - and alt-tab works fine. [01:56] xangua, barkingfish, and wilee-nilee - I had no idea that option was available there haha. And yea when I go to keyboard settings it won't let me choose alt-tab. Says I need to be in 3D mode. [01:57] If there is a way I can just adjust the keyboard settings without being in 3D mode I'd prefer that. [01:57] heck alt-tab works on the W& I'm on right now lol [01:57] W7 [01:58] wake up you big baby [01:58] wilee-nilee - When I go to keyboard settings, all of the bindings are disabled mostly [01:59] It actually says I need a new accelerator... and i can't read the rest in the box. [02:02] hi [02:03] is there a big difference between RTL8187 and RTL8187B ? === Dad is now known as Guest13687 [02:03] it is wifi driverss [02:03] HELLO? [02:03] hi [02:04] I plug in wifi card, it connects but does not work [02:04] hi [02:05] apparently system loads RTL1817, but driver listed for my card is RTL8187B [02:05] so, do a "B" more or less make a big difference? [02:05] does Unity keep crashing for anyone else? [02:05] I havent heard anything [02:06] silverarrow, how does this connect to your PC? USB or it is an internal card? [02:06] it should not [02:06] usb [02:06] malkauns, Have you modified it? [02:06] no [02:06] hi again Bark [02:07] BarkingFish: * sorry [02:07] daft situation [02:07] malkauns, Descibe the crash in the form of a question. [02:07] describe* [02:07] I have searched on the forum, not much on this usb adaptor [02:07] silverarrow, can you open a terminal and run lsusb for me please, and give me the UDIC for the wifi device? [02:08] UDIC? [02:08] the 8 digit code separated by a : [02:08] wilee-nilee, well it crashes in that all window borders disappear and i cannot get any focus on any windows, only way to restart it is to switch to terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and start unity again [02:09] Universal Device Identification Code [02:09] BUS 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter [02:10] malkauns, And you have not installed the compizconfig settings manager and modified anything [02:10] wilee-nilee, yes i have installed ccsm [02:10] malkauns, Have you changed anything there? [02:10] silverarrow, right - I can tell you now, with no uncertainty, that you have the wrong driver running. [02:10] well i added effects like trail focus and minimize animations ect [02:10] made the cube say [02:11] BarkingFish: the question might be: to "B" or not to "B" [02:11] I have one of those sticks here, and the only way I am able to get it to run is using ndiswrapper and the windows drivers from the disk [02:11] nasty [02:11] that is a bug!! [02:11] nope [02:12] malkauns, For a quick restart of unity which is a plugin in compiz install the fusion icon and make a launcher for it that will reload compiz. [02:12] it's actually very good - both my wifi sticks use ndiswrapper. [02:12] One doesn't have any normal support at all, the other one has a driver which doesn't function :) [02:12] restart of compiz actually [02:12] wilee-nilee, yea but i would rather it not crash in the first place [02:12] if it wasn't for either of those, I wouldn't be on the net right now - and both are on ndiswrapper [02:12] so noone else has this problem? [02:13] is there a way to load ndis wrapper from live CD or get the package on a usb? [02:13] silverarrow, are you running the live CD now? [02:13] why is the RTL driver acting up then? [02:13] BarkingFish: just installed [02:14] malkauns: you probably shouldn't consider "compiz" to be enterprise-grade stability... best of luck. [02:14] and rebooted [02:14] no idea, silverarrow - I have not bothered to bury myself in it and find out - I haven't the time at the moment. [02:14] malkauns, That would be nice, there are 100's of websites on modifying compiz, any worth using suggest a restart button, and a carefully modifying compiz usually with specific instructions. [02:14] you don't want to cough go wilee-nilee with compiz ;) [02:14] BarkingFish: thanks anyhow, I suppose that kind of burrying you ohnly do when you are forced to [02:15] burrying [02:15] !"#¤%& [02:15] malkauns: i'm certain LOTS of people have unity crashing issues - even if no one is replying to you... [02:15] silverarrow: BarkingFish "rtl8187" is the correct driver for the RTL8187B, since at least 2.6.23 [02:15] silverarrow, I'm working as an operational paramedic at the moment, I don't get much time to sit and do a lot - only between the hours of 10pm and 6am which is when I operate. [02:16] TJ-, that may be so - but it doesn't work on some devices which have that chipset [02:16] Anyone here by change seen "The Walking Dead" on tv series? [02:16] and 0bda:8187 i'm afraid is one of them [02:16] Hi can anyone tell me why Ubuntu keeps seeing my 3TB drives as 4.1GB?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:22] Magn3ts is that a bad thing? [02:22] magn3ts, have you got anything stored on them yet? [02:23] silverarrow: It's very worth trying the latest mainline kernel, 3.6, from the Ubuntu kernel team. If that solves the issue, you have a working system and we know where to find a patch to backport [02:24] from quantal? [02:24] silverarrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ... I'm currently using the 3.6 kernel from the "v3.6-quantal/" directory of the PPA [02:25] i can say I have the same issue in both 12.04 and 12.10 beta [02:26] magn3ts: are you running a 64 bit version of ubuntu? what filesystem did you format the drives as? [02:26] well, think lubuntu daily ppc have the latest kernel ? the issue is however the same in 386 and ppc [02:27] BarkingFish: you are probably all correct on the wrapper thing === ninwa is now known as jbleau [02:28] silverarrow: The quantal standard kernel is 3.5, not 3.6 [02:28] I see [02:28] thanks [02:28] not sure how to get the 3.6 kernel safely though, [02:29] do they launch new kernels on updates? or not until 13.04? [02:29] the last kernel I got was 3.2.0-32 === dev___ is now known as hackinblack [02:30] a horror with dependencies and compatibilities ? [02:30] :P [02:30] silverarrow: If you read the Kernel Team wiki I posted, it gives you detailed instructions on how which files to download, and how to install them using dpkg [02:30] BarkingFish: in the LTS release ? [02:30] yeah, 12.04 - i got it on update yesterday [02:31] i have proposed and unsupported updates enabled though [02:31] yeah, thanks TJ [02:31] I might try it, when I get wired or wireless [02:31] and I have got to restart, back in a tick.

[02:32] i just put in a different wireless and didn't think more of it [02:33] hackinblack: The random commentary and emoticons, calling out people with !ot when you are the one being !ot...

[02:34] What the heck are you talking about [02:36] hackinblack: I am talking about you disrupting the channel. Please just stick to support. Questions about "The Walking Dead" are not on topic for this channel. [02:36] Dude that was like 30 minutes ago [02:36] Get over it, the other guy already told me [02:36] zykotick9, what makes you certain about unity crashes? have you seen many reports online? [02:38] hackinblack: get over it is one of my "anger" triggers but I am working on not banning people who tell me to get over it. Please follow the channel guidelines (/msg ubottu !guidelines) if you are not familiar with them. [02:38] thank you. [02:38] why get huffy, this is slow for this channel [02:38] ? [02:38] Now you threatn me with a ban? Go ahead and see me back here in 1 minute or less. [02:39] let's move on, please. [02:39] Seriously. [02:39] hackinblack: I am asking you to follow the channel guidelines just like everybody else. [02:39] For the second time. "GET OVER IT" that was 30 minutes ago and the other guy told me it [02:40] what difference will a newer kernel make? [02:41] security updates, new device support, better performance... [02:41] ...I am not than technically into it yet [02:42] I see [02:42] but I suggest you stick with the kernel provided in the repositories unless you absolutely need to use a newer kernel. [02:42] yeah, maybe better to buy a different wireless device [02:43] IdleOne: +1 re kernels. backports if update required. [02:45] kernelupdates does happen thogh [02:45] can it be reversed ? [02:46] silverarrow: you can boot from an older kernel if you have it installed, yeah [02:47] any one have any experience with myth tv with an ubuntu backend? [02:47] Morning guys :) [02:48] !anyone | lobhater1 [02:48] lobhater1: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:48] Yawn, any one here have irssi? and or know a better irc client [02:48] is myth tv worth the trouble of setting up? [02:48] Right. I have ubuntu desktop fully installed - with one minor problem. I cannot find settings to customize the desktop - so I can't move the panel at the top, to the bottom, and can't resize all the icons on my desktop. Any ideas please? [02:48] lobhater1: that's not a "support" question and thus offtopic here. [02:49] hackin, what are you looking for in a client? [02:49] Idk i want something like irssi terminal based [02:49] have you looked at weechat? [02:49] i am having trouble setting up myth tv. how long has it taken you to set up? [02:49] no i havnt [02:50] lobhater1: fyi, i use mythtv to record all my TV OTA-HD [02:50] what i like about it over irssi is it has a nick list [02:50] Is weechat good? do you use it ? [02:50] still scriptable [02:50] lobhater1: myth isn't "easy" to get running! [02:50] i just found it yesterday and havent set it up yet [02:50] I will give weechat a try [02:51] www.weechat.org [02:51] ok thanks [02:53] can someone help me with my little issue above please? I only need to do a couple of small things, and this experience will be perfect. [02:53] cf [02:53] I am liking the layout of the dm (and I assume this is unity), and I think I may just switch permanently from kdm :D [02:53] BarkingFish: Unity does not allow the top menu/notifications bar be moved [02:53] BarkingFish: you cant adjust any of those settings from the default menus [02:54] So what do I do about the icons on the desktop. There are too many of them and they're not laid out properly. If I can shrink them, they'll all fit [02:54] BarkingFish: if you are BarkingFish:willing to put in the time and effort compiz will allow you to do just about anything [02:54] !info myunity | BarkingFish unity doesn't have a ton of customization like kde does [02:54] BarkingFish unity doesn't have a ton of customization like kde does: myunity (source: myunity): Unity configurator.

Version 3.1.3-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 529 kB, installed size 1125 kB [02:55] BarkingFish: be aware that CCSM can break Unity [02:55] BarkingFish: it is not the most stable, so beware and backup, but you can do things you never even imagined! pretty cool. watch youtube for some examples [02:56] ccsm = compiz [02:56] How do you backup ubuntu like in windows? How do you make a full backup of ubuntu os? incase you need to reinstall? [02:56] lobhater1: actually ccsm = compizconfigsettingmanager or something ;) [02:56] i don't want compiz running. I want the whole of it in 2D. If I can't run it in 2D, with no transparency and animation, it's coming off, quicksharp :) [02:57] BarkingFish: be aware that 12.04 is the last unity2d [02:57] by the time the next one comes out, I'll have a new pc capable of supporting 3d without struggling. [02:58] Until then, it needs to be dropped down to 2d, flat, opaque and no flashy stuff :) [02:58] i still like it though :) [02:58] zykotick9: ccsm = CompizConfig Settings Manager which is compiz. is ccsm not a synonym for compiz? [02:58] lobhater1: unity is compiz, but unity != compiz, just as ccsm != compiz [02:59] Can anyone help with backing up ubuntu? [02:59] !ccsm > lobhater1 [02:59] lobhater1, please see my private message [03:00] Can anyone help with backing up ubuntu? [03:01] no PMs please [03:01] hi, How can I edit my grub load parameters, if nothing even boots? just black screen [03:01] lobhater1: i didn't PM you, i sent you a factoid. best of luck. [03:01] although, I can load a live usb with pci=noacpi [03:01] hackinblack, what backup tools have you tried? [03:02] None yet, i just need to know of a main method or reliable method of backing up ubuntu just like in windows. [03:02] great thanks, not sure what i would of done without your "pm factoid" [03:02] awc737: get into the GRUB menu at start-up by holding/pressing Shift as soon as BIOS POST ends. In the GRUB menu, you can edit the entries including the kernel's command-line, and boot the revised cmd-line using Ctrl+X [03:03] hackinblack: at version of ubuntu are you using? [03:03] *what [03:03] well i use a program called crashplan, it can backup to the cloud, for a fee, or backup to a local drive for free or backup to another pc on your netowrk or over the internet for free, its very easy to use [03:03] LTS [03:03] I am using the latest i believe 12.04 [03:03] crashplan? [03:04] Do yu have any links for this? [03:04] hackinblack: there's the built in 'backup' application deja-dup [03:04] !backup | hackinblack [03:04] hackinblack: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [03:04] hackinblack: have you considered using the built in back up feature? [03:04] ahhhh TJ thanks! life saver [03:04] h00k: hooked you up, with a factoid. nice [03:04] I noticed that but wasnt sure it worked as "deja-dub" I don't even know what that means english? [03:05] I will look at crashplan [03:05] and link ubottu gave [03:05] TJ-: hitting e to change the params on boot store that permanently? [03:05] hackinblack: Deja Dup: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/natty/deja-dup/ [03:05] how can i find a folder in ubuntu? [03:05] hackinblack: yea just go to the dash menu (super key) and type backup. click the little black safe and follow the directions [03:05] http://www.crashplan.com/ i sue that to back up all my nix and win machines ot my main pc that has a 300gb storage drive [03:05] what does /.foldername mean? and how can i find it? [03:05] sue=use [03:06] awc737: No. You're only changing the params used right now. But once you can get into the booted system you can edit /etc/default/grub and then do "update-grub" [03:06] perhapstired: any folder prefixed with a "." is hidden [03:06] sweet [03:06] ok so how do i uncover it [03:06] perhapstired: using the file browser, use "CTRL+H" to toggle seeing them [03:06] awc737: e on grub use /etc/default/grub to make permanent [03:06] Also is there a tool or application that i can edit the grub i bootloader screen with custom color or theme? [03:06] ok thanks [03:06] And make it last longer like 60seconds to stay on screen [03:06] perhapstired: or, "View-->Show Hidden Files" [03:06] np [03:07] thanks. does pci=noacpi sound good? I think the problem is uefi bios [03:07] Here is my dhcpd.conf entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255230/ [03:07] surely I don't always need acpi disabled for this? [03:07] perhapstired: A file or directory-name with a leading "." is considered by many tools to be 'hidden' unless overriding options are given to them. E.g. "ls -a" [03:07] I am unable to get the dhcpd service running..it is failing [03:08] hackinblack: I used one background image from boot menu to desktop. I had to install it to GRUB, to a new plymouth theme, to lightdm and to the user background [03:09] How ? [03:09] TJ [03:09] is it bad if I always have noacpi on a laptop with ssd? [03:10] awc737: You shouldn't permanently disable ACPI, it is a core part of the system. There are other options probably more suited and limited in scope, that will help you. Can you describe the issue, or have log-file entries showing the problem? [03:10] hackinblack: Lots of reading, lots of hard work === abhishek is now known as Guest38618 [03:10] TJ- no, just a new ultrabook with uefi bios, booting black screen. google indicated pci=noacpi, and it did work [03:10] I have seen on google people with custom themes or backgrounds bt i do not know how to do it with grub [03:11] is there another "safer" param I could try TJ-? [03:11] awc737: Depending on the problem, there are many options you can try. Here's the list: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [03:11] awc737: It would help to know what is specifically going wrong [03:12] I was trying these params: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [03:12] TJ-: i just said, it booted to a black screen, that's all I know, and pci=noacpi fixed it [03:12] is pci=noacpi as bad as acpi=off [03:12] awc737: black screen ... but was the system frozen? or could you still ping it over the network, or SSH into it? [03:13] anyone know how to simply negate a -z test in a script? [03:13] awc737: many times, 'black screen' is just a symptom of a bad video driver and can be overcome with the "nomodeset" kernel parameter [03:13] not sure TJ-, yeah I think it might be video related [03:13] ezio: ! -z "$VAR" [03:13] well, intel hd3000 probably wouldn't be an abnormal driver? [03:14] awc737: Try "nomodeset" then - that often fixes the kernel mode-setting issues [03:14] awc737: there's quite a lot of KMS issues still across a range of video hardware [03:14] awc737: If that doesn't help, at least you've ruled out one of the easier solutions :) [03:16] <|Anthony|> I would appreciate a review of the help page i extensively updated please. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [03:16] <|Anthony|> Review as in fact checking and whatnot. :) [03:17] |Anthony|: That looks promising, thank-you. I'll try it out on one of my servers tomorrow [03:18] * mihaisergiy huff [03:18] <|Anthony|> TJ-, you have hardware sufficient for multiseat? [03:19] |Anthony|: too much of it! [03:19] <|Anthony|> haha [03:19] Fancy a garage-sale? :p [03:19] <[x]> |Anthony|-> what is multiseat ? [03:19] I also do the opposite to multi-seat, or used to ... xdmx. [03:20] <|Anthony|> [x], lol the Multiseat Introduction kinda explains that [03:20] <|Anthony|> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Introduction_To_Multiseat [03:21] |Anthony|: It'd be good to have a PPA to wrap up Brian Cameron's work, and add in some installation scripts to automate the configuration as much as possible [03:22] <|Anthony|> TJ-, i was thinking about starting a ppa for that... or pestering the person (a7) who has an existing, but outdated ppa to do it [03:23] |Anthony|: I wonder, is there a "multiseat" project on launchpad? [03:24] <|Anthony|> I linked to the ck and gdm branches [03:24] <|Anthony|> but i didn't suss out any others there [03:24] |Anthony|: Ahhh, there is, not touched since 2006 [03:24] Just curious does anyone here have a knowledge of Server RackMount Chassis [03:25] I'd like to have an icon appear in my notification area when updates become available, but never have update-manager or other crap pop up automatically, disrupting what I'm doing. Is there any way to do this in 12.04? [03:25] BlackWeb: You mean 19" rackmounts? [03:25] BlackWeb: I do. [03:25] BlackWeb: Just PM me or let me know what channel you'd like to discuss that on. [03:26] |Anthony|: It would be worth taking over that multiseat project [03:26] Ya TJ Alright I have a cabinet that needs a Chassis and the main concern is the Width. Currently my Chassis are 4U 7" in Height but Width is where I'm not quite sure, If i measure from the front its 19" but Actual body is 17" [03:26] <|Anthony|> TJ-, the problem on my end atm is that i don't have additional hardware to test it on :/ [03:27] BlackWeb: That sounds about right ... there are usually brackets or sliders on the side of each unit [03:27] so is the width calculated with the brackets or just the body, trying to find a chassis that will fit into my cabinet [03:27] I'm upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 - can someone double check my grub config here and make sure I'm not going to make my system unbootable? [03:27] |Anthony|: one step at a time. I'm sure if done right, it would attract the more professional users [03:27] http://pastie.org/4894572 [03:27] cjs: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false [03:28] <|Anthony|> TJ-, the hw i'm using for the multiseat is kinda all i have and i've been working on getting it all up and running for a few weeks now while documenting my efforts along the way. [03:29] Hey. I'm running Ubuntu server 10.04 for my webhost. I installed ircd-hybrid today and I have it up and running. I can connect to it from localhost but not from outside the server. I have been troubleshooting all day and confirmed to the best of my ability that the problem does not concern ircd-hybrid itself. A nmap port scan of my server shows that the ports from 6666-6669 are open but filtered. However to the best of my knowled [03:29] ge, there is no firewall on my server right now. I removed iptables, fail2ban for testing and ufw was never installed. Is there someway to find out what the hell is filtering these ports?? [03:30] BlackWeb: The measurement between the fixing holes in the verticals inside my 42U cabinet is 18.25" [03:30] trism: Thanks! [03:30] <|Anthony|> TJ-, i do agree though, that to have it be point-n-clicky would make it more attractive. especially considering fedora has it that way now. the downside to their approach (systemd-logind) is that there is no support for the nvidia binary. which kinda cuts out a large market who have nvidia and want opengl and hw acceleration. === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 [03:31] <[x]> ok | [03:31] |Anthony|: yes, covering the common hardware and drivers is important. It's worth contacting the registry to see if we can take over the multiseat project [03:31] <[x]> ok |Anthony| [03:31] <|Anthony|> routh_, do you have a network firewall? [03:32] Well, this is a cloud host. All ports to my server are open and I have to control access myself. [03:32] BlackWeb: That 18.25" is from centers of the holes in each vertical. Total width to edge of frame is a tad over 19" [03:32] <[x]> |Anthony|-> tell me some good irc channels pls [03:32] To the best of my knowledge this has to be a setup problem with the server itself.. I just am out of ideas of how to figure out what it is. [03:33] Alright I'll do a re measurement of mine but ya total width From Edge to frame is 19" [03:33] routh_: Some facilities may filter IRC ports, since they are used by command-and-control servers for malware [03:33] on mine [03:33] damn. TJ- I had ubu before, now I have xubu. the shift on boot isn't working [03:33] it does say Grub loading, but then I see the xubuntu loading image, and then black [03:33] BlackWeb: Yes, that's correct. 19.05" (ish) internally and 18.25" between fixing centers [03:33] TJ-: I'm guessing there's no easy way to tell that without asking. [03:34] TJ-: Wait.. I'm a dumbass. I can just change the ports. [03:34] routh_: I'd think so, unless you search the web for mentions of it with your host? [03:34] <|Anthony|> routh_, you could try to change the default ports [03:34] routh_: Of course... you could even use the offical IRC port! [03:34] isn't that 6667? [03:34] <|Anthony|> or 8001 [03:35] <|Anthony|> something like that [03:35] <[x]> who know boss linux distro ? [03:35] routh_: No, 194. [03:35] routh_: 6667 was chosen in the early days by non-privileged users wanting to run IRC daemons on their shell accounts. I used to do that back in about '93 :p [03:35] no it worked TJ-, but I get unknown command 'nomodeset' [03:36] interesting [03:36] awc737: that's weird! which version of Ubuntu is that? [03:36] TJ- xubuntu, I think I'm typing it in the wrong place [03:37] <^GeCk0^> gooood morning :) im looking for an audio recording tool, that records my pulse-audio-server to fetch the stream of any running application [03:37] could someone please help me troubleshoot these errors on update, paste.ubuntu.com/1255254 [03:37] awc737: Well, it *should* be on the linux command-line. From GRUB menu, press 'e' to edit, then move the cursor to the end of the line that starts "linux..." (avoid the 'initrd' line) and add "nomodeset" to the existing options (which are something like quiet splash vt_handoff=..." [03:38] it got to the last 26 mb of 398 and gave me those errors [03:39] hi guys, how do i make a user be able to execute commands without requiring passwords for sudo [03:39] shantorn: have you run: sudo apt-get update; the libxml2 package has be superceded (I didn't check the rest but I imagine it is the same) [03:39] ok TJ- I didn't get the error message, but still a black screen... back to pci=noacpi [03:39] onats, not a good idea we can't really advise there. [03:39] ill give that a whirl, thanks for the tip [03:40] onats: Edit the sudoers file. I think they've taken out the example of the NOPASSWD configuration or whatever it was, but the sudoers manual page will have the details. [03:40] shantorn: Those package versions are no longer in the archive as far as I can see. Do "sudo apt-get update" and then try again [03:40] cjs: i put it there but it still asks for pword [03:40] and im connecting with no tty [03:40] how do i disable require tty? i saw it in some posts, but i can't seem to find that line in sudo lilst [03:41] onats: you also have to add the user to the "nopasswdlogin" group [03:41] TJ-: there's a group like that? [03:42] onats: If you want it for *all* log-ins the user does. If you want it only for particular sudo commands, then only use the sudoers file, with an entry for the user (or her group or an alias) [03:42] I'm actually getting this: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified [03:42] TJ-: should my params go next to initrd or linux [03:42] linux has quiet splash etc [03:42] awc737: linux, always [03:43] maybe no wonder [03:43] awc737: :p [03:43] awc737: I find that GRUB editor doesn't always make it obvious that "linux..." and "initrd..." are separate lines [03:43] yeah it ran together [03:44] sweet, nomodeset, i see screen === uw is now known as Guest66447 [03:44] onats: Oh, that's different. Is there some reason you've no pty? [03:44] |Anthony|: do you have a launchpad ID? I was thinking of emailing the registry team to ask them to give us control of multiseat [03:44] cjs: I'm connecting via a job via jenkins, to a test server (VM) [03:45] hi guys I have my laptop hooked to an external monitor...the display is set to the external only...i use external speakers also but now my audio card says dummy and i have no sound any suggestions? [03:45] awc737: that fixed it?!? [03:45] onats: I see. You might try requiretty=false. [03:45] yeah nomodeset. but I have low resolution [03:45] i can't permanently leave nomodeset right [03:45] i should be able to ... detect my gpu or something? [03:46] awc737: Yes, you can. That is used at early boot to do splash screen graphical [03:46] cjs: so i just add that line in visudo? [03:46] *dummy output [03:46] onats: Yeah. Lemmie check the exact syntax. [03:46] awc737: now you need to focus on what the GPU is, which driver it should use, and get it configured so it auto-detect the resolution of the screens using EDID [03:47] ok, its just intel 3000, the most common one in the world prob lol [03:47] awc737: You can add "nomodeset" to "/etc/default/grub" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [03:47] how can i expand my desktop to a 2nd display and set the desktop orientation at the same time through commandline [03:47] awc737: and then do "sudo update-grub" to write it to "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" [03:47] but shouldnt i try to fix the gpu instead [03:48] onats: It needs to go in a Defaults line. I'm not sure of the details without knowing your exact config. [03:48] <|Anthony|> shaneo, check in /var/log/syslog for pulse messages [03:48] awc737: Don't worry about the GPU at early boot... that's only frippary. Sort the GPU driver out for X [03:48] ok === qos is now known as qos|away [03:49] <|Anthony|> shaneo, you could do at terminal cat /var/log/syslog | grep pulse > ~/Documents/pulselog to make it easier on yourself [03:49] cjs: found it: Defaults:git !requiretty === Guest66447 is now known as uw [03:49] That worked gentlemen, thank you. [03:50] onats: Great! [03:50] cjs: thanks for the tips [03:51] Ubuntu 12.04: somehow I borked my network config. No WiFi or Ethernet but it was working earlier today. [03:51] I tried editing /etc/network/interfaces [03:52] |Anthony| all that did was create a blank document [03:52] <|Anthony|> lol [03:52] melow01: fyi setting stuff in /etc/network/interfaces disables Network-Manager (the default network thing on ubuntu) [03:52] zykotick9, [03:52] zykotick9, oh... ok [03:53] zykotick9, so i should erase all the changes i made? [03:53] melow01: up to you. [03:53] |Anthony| used this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1316634 and the sound card is back thanks for your help [03:54] cjs: it works now. that was what was needed [03:54] defaults no tty [03:54] melow01, interfaces is for ifdownup scripts. You don't look at that. You want to look at nm<> commands like nmcli [03:54] is this just me? W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release.gpg Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:3128: [03:54] jagginess, ok, thanks [03:55] I'll tinker with that and see where it gets me [03:55] does anyone know of any good video editing software for ubuntu? [03:55] i mean something decent please [03:55] not some garbage [03:56] melow01, nm-tool (there's a third on nm) [03:56] TJ-: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX? [03:57] How do I get better at using Ubuntu? I'm a complete noob currently and I understand that I could by all means just come here with every little problem I run into from now on but I figure I'd save you guys some time by researching it myself, could any of you recommend some places I could start? [03:57] there are nice books, and youtube series [03:57] Domincii, not really.. well there is books.. but they get outdated by each release.. [03:58] a lot of the terminal skills in books translate between releases [03:58] awc737: "Failed to fecth ... 127.0.0.1:3138" are you using apt-cacher or apt-cacher-ng? [03:58] there was like 10 books last time i went to barnes and noble [03:58] Domincii, the best thing you can do as a start, and know how to spot bugs and report them with launchpad [03:58] Domincii, I'd basically just browse the forums a lot [03:58] Could you link me to one of the youtube series' please? [03:58] I figured that would be the case, Jagginess, but I just don't understand how people seem to be so fluent with this system [03:58] (or that ubuntu bug report app) [03:59] experiment with installing different things like samba [03:59] Jordan_U: and you get me highlighted with !ops! === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [03:59] zykotick9: neither that I know of... [03:59] Domincii, just use the system.. and with time you learn tips and bits [03:59] Right, I'll take a look in the next book store I go to, could I get some forum recommendations though? [03:59] awc737: then taht 127.0.0.1 address doesn't make a lot of sense... proxy of some sort? [03:59] there is a new book called ubuntu made easy that came out ib august [03:59] Domincii, wiki.ubuntu.org ? [03:59] awc737: sorry, was busy elsewhere. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (the other one is also used for recovery sessions, which don't do graphical splash screens anyhow) [03:59] i use a proxy at work, maybe i need to fix something [03:59] (and of course help.ubuntu.com/org ) [03:59] cntlm... damn [04:00] Awesome, thanks for your time everyone! [04:00] thanks zykotick9 forgot about that [04:01] jagginess, nmcli nm enable <--? [04:03] I installed xfce4 but only lxde works, selecting xfce just bounces me back to the login screen. fresh install of 12.04 [04:04] jagginess, # start network-manager <-- this solved my issue [04:04] melow01, the documentation is still kind of tough about nm<>, but do you get a list of your network device? [04:04] jagginess, I'm not sure how network-manager got disabled. [04:04] melow01, ? [04:05] melow01, well when you logon to the desktop, NM is used with dbus.. dbus lets user-level stuff access devices [04:05] melow01, maybe you dont have gnome-networking installed properly [04:05] jagginess, the command from nmcli gave me a table, but all devices were "unknown" [04:06] jagginess, now when I run 'nmcli nm' the device is enabled and seems to be work [04:06] ing [04:06] melow01, i'll refrain into getting in details.. i'm still adjusting to using nm<> .. but you don't have to be root to use nm<> [04:06] jagginess, oh ok [04:06] melow01, do you get the netwoking icon or some network display in your gui logob? [04:06] ,/logon/ [04:07] jagginess, yes, nm-applet is working [04:07] jagginess, I can ping domains on the internet [04:10] Need help come in private [04:15] Ok, my wireless is working on eth2 but my wired ethernet doesn't work on eth0 [04:16] actually; eth0 = wired, eth1 = wireless === puppy is now known as thomas [04:16] melow01, dont try to have them connected at the same time :/ [04:17] whats the name of the thing that pops up when something crashes and asks if you want to send an error report? its called like bitchy or whiney or moaney or something like that [04:17] melow01, (disable wifi, then try the wired) [04:17] jagginess, ok [04:17] Smackbook, apropos bug, it'll give the name somewhere (terminal) [04:17] so after a clean install and just now reinstalling, it locks up just after booting on the desktop, every time. I tried updating the installer and even tried it with out donwloading updates while installing [04:18] jagginess, I don't ever remember having a conflict before... I could've sworn I've always had them both on [04:18] melow01, are you trying to run your own version script to fix this? (let the nm-applet do the networking) === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [04:19] jagginess, no, i'm not scripting [04:20] aha! its called whoopsie! [04:20] jagginess, just using basic network commands: ifconfig [04:20] melow01, what's new and ahem (i'm not a big fan of), is the dnsmasq stuff [04:20] hello, i have problems with cryptswap1, some one knows about? can help? [04:21] jagginess, you lost me there... [04:21] Hey guys, I'm trying to boot Ubuntu 12.04LTS to my HP Spectre XT and I'm getting a black screen [04:22] melow01, was this an upgrade? [04:22] It's trying to boot via external usb-hd on usb 3.0 [04:22] jagginess, no, clean install [04:22] Any known issues? [04:23] melow01, this is stupid.. but after 11.10, they added more complexity to the networking, which includes dnsmasq.. [04:23] matbee, did you configure bios to boot from usb? [04:23] jagginess, oh ok [04:23] melow01, (you see usually dnsmasq is something only for servers, but they added it as a default) [04:23] melow01, It's booting to ubuntu just fine, but when it starts loading any gui it simply goes blank [04:24] !nomodeset | matbee [04:24] matbee: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:24] melow01, and essentially your "default" nameserver is 127.0.0.1, perhaps it's not configured well enough to pickup/add nameservers from dhcp. [04:24] Thanks TJ-! [04:25] jagginess, I'm looking at /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and I see the line: 'dns=dnsmasq' [04:25] why when i try to uninstall openjdk-7-jdk ap instead wants to install openjdk-6-jdk? [04:25] melow01, (If it does pickup namservers from eth0 via dhcp, your system still uses 127.0.0.1 as a nameserver, but uses your ISP nameservers as "forwarders" << sound confusing already?) [04:25] melow01, exactly [04:25] jagginess, should I remove it? [04:25] melow01, hmm dont think so.. [04:25] melow01, not sure what else you would use there [04:26] jagginess, ok [04:26] melow01, but if you use nslookup, what nameserver does it say it's using? [04:26] (with wifi off, and wired on) [04:27] melow01, dnsmasq is quite configurable, if there's no .conf in /etc/dnsmasq.conf , then probably a sample from /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq [04:28] melow01, and it's well commented [04:28] melow01, (the sample file itself is very well commented) [04:29] jagginess, thanks. nslookup returns 127.0.0.1, loopback [04:30] * Guddu_ is puzzled...How do i create a new icon on Ubuntu desktop? Install GNOME Panel and run a command at the prompt? Isn't it too much? [04:30] jagginess: melow01 NetworkManager runs an instance of dnsmasq under its control, in the foreground, as user 'nobody' You can find the config file at "/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf" ... also, try "ps -efly | grep dnsmasq" to see the instance started by NM and its options [04:31] jagginess: melow01 "/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf" usually contains 1 or 2 "nameserver" lines - which come from dhclient's DHCP OFFER [04:31] * Guddu_ is puzzled...How do i create a new icon on Ubuntu desktop? Install GNOME Panel and run a command at the prompt? Isn't it too much? [04:31] guddu_, right click and select 'make launcher' or somthin [04:31] WeThePeople, Have you tried doing that yourself? :) [04:31] That option is not there. [04:31] TJ-, dont edit .conf in /var/run, the proper .conf would have to be in /etc [04:31] And yes....I wished it was that easy.... [04:31] matbee, sorry, the gui issue is beyond me, maybe someone else can help ya [04:32] guddu_, what distro [04:32] jagginess: No, you don't edit it! But that's the file that contains the active nameservers [04:32] WeThePeople, 12.04 kinda sucks....Especially Each time when a straight forward thing as this requires me to get on to google :( [04:32] TJ-, yes, I already explained that to him, the nameservers come from the dhcp offer [04:32] TJ-, you can edit the dnsmasq .conf that's in /etc . [04:32] ^ [04:33] guddu_, lol thats why i am still using 10.04 [04:33] (if its not there, there should be a sample around /usr/share/dnsmasq/) [04:33] WeThePeople, :) [04:33] jagginess: That config won't affect interfaces managed by NetworkManager [04:33] you could also use kubuntu or lubuntu or xubuntu [04:33] /etc/dnsmasq.conf <-- doesn't exist on my distro [04:33] * jagginess -_- [04:33] I wonder what went on in the head of the designers/developers/architects that they came up with Unity :( [04:33] Seriously [04:33] melow01, because its not there, doesnt mean it cant be used. (theres a SAMPLE SOMEWHERE) [04:34] (and in UBUNTU) [04:34] jagginess, [04:34] * jagginess is currently not on ubuntu linux [04:34] jagginess, ok [04:34] ok i'm powering on a remote ubuntu linux here [04:34] Guddu_: bit OT, but Linus has similar concerns [04:35] Ben64, R u on Unity? [04:35] Guddu_: no [04:35] I hate it when end-users call me to ask....How do i add another shortcut on the desktop :( [04:36] Guddu_: Why do end-users call you? [04:36] guddu_, http://www.geekyboy.com/archives/384 [04:37] hello [04:37] DaemonicApathy, So that I can create another shortcut on desktop for them :( LOL [04:37] jagginess, found it: /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example [04:37] i got a ubuntu 10.04 installation here, whats the easier quickest way of installing java? [04:37] melow01: The way it works is, NM launches dnsmasq listening on 127.0.0.1 with its config at "/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf". When DHCP provides DNS sever addresses they are written into that file. The system's glibc resolver always uses 127.0.0.1 which dnsmasq is serving, and it forwards/caches requests to the nameserver's listed in the file. [04:38] WeThePeople, Thanks....That what I am doing at the moment...Running a command to launch a create launcher panel :( [04:38] TJ-, thanks [04:38] /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example [04:38] THEJOLLYGRIMREAP, Quickest way is to just install it without thinking twice... [04:38] i'm on a 12.04 ubuntu system here. [04:38] U r looking at installing JRE? [04:38] melow01 "." [04:38] jagginess, same here [04:39] so you dont know how to use the "cd" command ? [04:39] tsk [04:39] melow01, TJ- /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example [04:39] melow01: If the nameservers listed in that file are the ones provided by DHCP (which you can check by looking in /var/log/syslog) then local DNS is configured correctly [04:39] THEJOLLYGRIMREAP, Here is a link that u can read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [04:40] TJ-, thing is... I don't think DHCP is working on eth0 since I don't have an IP address [04:40] melow01, and if the nameservers arent picked up properly with dnsmasq, there's a .conf file there (which i mentioned a while ago-- but the dnsmasq.conf file is LONG) [04:40] jagginess, ya, I opened the conf file... its long indeed [04:41] Here's Stephane's original article on the switch to dnsmaq for resolving: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [04:41] melow01, you just check the "lease" on your router box [04:41] jagginess, ...and its almost past my bedtime [04:41] melow01: If there's no IP offer... check what's shown in /var/log/syslog. NM logs copiously there [04:41] can someone help me with a minor problem [04:42] melow01, , there's the server= directive [04:42] TJ-, ok [04:42] melow01, as well as no-dhcp-interface directive as well [04:42] melow01, but you should be able to use the nameservers field in the gui if you know you're setting a static ip [04:43] (again see if there's a lease, you can even use "tcpdump" to see if port 68/69 is being used, and there will be offer/release commentaries) [04:43] TJ-, jagginess thanks guys for the help but this is getting over my head in jargon. My wired and wireless were working earlier today and for some reason they are not working now. [04:44] melow01: Get some sleep, try again tomorrow! [04:44] TJ-, jagginess It must have been something I installed [04:44] melow01, dunno.. i can check something.. [04:44] TJ-, jagginess I also have a feeling it might be the sleep function when I closed the lid on my netbook, not sure though [04:44] melow01: You didn't add any manual entries to /etc/network/interfaces ? [04:45] melow01: sometimes a full cold power-off and restart solves things [04:45] nm.. [04:45] TJ-, that's for ifdownup scripts. [04:45] TJ-, not for NM, unless he configures NM to have ifdownup work on its own [04:45] melow01: You did power cycle the router already, right? [04:45] can people see me [04:45] No, coon__. [04:46] lol thx [04:46] jagginess: I was wondering if NM was confused and only half-managing the i/f. But as I said earlier, "/var/log/syslog" will reveal all [04:46] howto debug flash issues on terminal? [04:46] TJ-, I think nm starts forcibly.. [04:46] what is the off topic channel? [04:46] !ot | lobhater [04:46] lobhater: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:47] thanks [04:47] TJ-, so if he should check /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [04:47] * jagginess remembers NM starts forcibly [04:47] DaemonicApathy, funny you mention power cycle... I power cycled the router yesterday [04:47] jagginess: It starts from upstart... but NM will avoid any i/f listed in 'interfaces' - if that PC has suspended and things changed in the meanwhile it wouldn't be too hard to imagine NM getting confused :) [04:47] TJ-, it doesnt. [04:47] TJ-, see the manpage. [04:48] melow01: Does that just happen to be about the time the problem started? [04:48] TJ-, jagginess I've also rebooted multiple times since the sleep [04:48] TJ-, the "interfaces" is part of ifdownup. and NM can be configured to have ifdownup work, but you'll have to set it to on in the file [04:49] (man NetworkManager.conf) [04:49] DaemonicApathy, I believe networking was working after the router reboot, I know it was working when I was at work today, but when I came home (after closing the lid), the network stopped working alltogether [04:50] so far as i know, for melow01's problem it can be anywhere from a physical wiring problem to anything above [04:50] DaemonicApathy, I also installed Java JDK, Android SDK, etc... [04:50] jagginess: I concur. [04:50] melow01, I don't see how those would affect much. [04:51] melow01, you using a "switch" between the PC and the router? sometimes those things are cheap and need a power-replugging (this happens to me once every few weeks) [04:51] DaemonicApathy, jagginess I'll check the wiring but I highly doubt it. I'll just stick to the wireless. I just thought I'd check both connections while I was at it. [04:52] melow01, you need to have the wifi on off, (you dont want to worry about setting up the default route) [04:52] jagginess, I'm using a simple "All in one" router/switch/phone/tv device from my ISP [04:52] melow01, (wifi->off when trying wired) [04:52] jagginess, yes, WiFi is off [04:53] * melow01 is crawling under his desk to switch ethernet cables... brb [04:54] And ports, of course. [04:54] * lotuspsychje hands over a scissor to melow01 [04:54] jagginess: if "managed=false" (which is the default setting), NM won't manage an interface listed in "/etc/network/interfaces" - that's what I was referring to. [04:55] haha [04:55] Bad connection? kicked it? [04:55] Haha is good... [04:55] probably wrapped the cable around his foot :p [04:55] ok, I'm chatting with you on the same cable that was just plugged into my netbook [04:55] Escellent. :-) [04:55] both my cables are good - desktop and netbook [04:55] TJ-, you also have to use a mac-address with [keyfile], unmanaged-devices= [04:56] * melow01 crawls back under his desk to put cables back... [04:56] TJ-, to the two above directives, this if for letting ifdownup handle that interface [04:56] jagginess: no you don't! I use the interfaces files regularly to stop NM handling a device. [04:56] anyone know off the top of their head the recommended configure/make flags for ubuntu? [04:57] (and plugins= has to contain ifdownup in the [main] section) [04:57] let's say I wanted to create .deb packages from source [04:57] DaemonicApathy, jagginess, TJ- dmesg: eth0: no IPv6 routers present [04:58] melow01: pastebin /var/log/syslog for us - then we can actually *help* ! [04:58] I don't think anyone has rolled out ipv6 yet anyway. [04:58] some have [04:58] TJ-, well you probably arent using it liek you think you are (dbus is probably already doing it hehehe) [04:58] jagginess: I think I know my own networks! [04:58] Ben64: Really? What ISP has? [04:58] TJ-, ok [04:58] TJ-, you're saying you can avoid "loading" NM on startup? [04:59] TJ-, you're using NM/gtk-dbus to turn on your network [04:59] My system voice is dragmaticly very low , Ubuntu 12.04 (Dell-inspiron) , can help did i need to install driver or what else ! a [04:59] TJ-, you have to edit that NM.conf file properly to have the interfaces file work [04:59] cloudgeek:define 'low' [05:00] jagginess: NM is started by upstart, it avoids managing any interface listed in 'interfaces' file - that's the default config [05:01] My system speakers are not working! and when i switch to a headphone , then i can listen videos but voice is very low in comparsion to previous days.like now voice is just 30 % of last time! [05:01] lotuspsychje: hope you able to understand my problem! else shall i need explain more! [05:01] TJ-, DaemonicApathy jagginess, thanks for you help but i gotta pass out. i'll pick it up tomorrow [05:02] DaemonicApathy: i get ipv6 from verizon wireless on LTE [05:02] melow01: sleep well :) [05:02] TJ-, jagginess, I hope I didn't start a holy war between you two [05:02] TJ-, jagginess, haha [05:02] * melow01 laters [05:02] cloudgeek:did you clean install precise? [05:02] melow01: Get us that syslog, and we'll sort it! [05:02] Ben64: That's interesting, thanks for the info. [05:03] cloudgeek:maybe restart pulseaudio? [05:03] I'm in the process of switching my networks over to IPv6 ... made more interesting by a VPN tunnel to one of my severs in a data-center [05:03] lotuspsychje: nope ,but i need to check? i can paste some information , if want so you can anlysis what actually happen ? [05:03] TJ-: Good luck with that, should be fun. :-) [05:04] cloudgeek:did you upgrade to precise? [05:04] DaemonicApathy: I'm expecting it to take a few weeks! [05:04] TJ-: Well...yeah... ^_^ [05:04] lotuspsychje: no working with precise since last 2 months [05:04] DaemonicApathy: I've got to figure out multi-path :s [05:04] cloudgeek:yes but clean installed or upgraded? [05:05] see, ipv6 on verizon [05:05] TJ-: I'm not giving you any hints. It's so much better to figure out for yourself. [05:05] lotuspsychje: I done only apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade only [05:05] OrgName: Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless [05:05] cloudgeek:its highly recommended to clean install precise 12.04.1 [05:06] cloudgeek:might worth a try to reset audio [05:06] bbl [05:06] lotuspsychje: okay, let e see it [05:06] cloudgeek: So, is this correct? The sound was OK, you did some minor package updates, and sound is now very quiet and no speakers? [05:07] TJ-: sound working better in headphones but no sound in speakers? [05:08] cloudgeek: but the important point is, this happened only after some minor updates? [05:08] TJ-: so what i can do now, I am not able listen my lecture! I using headphones since last 2 hour. [05:09] * TJ- is sure he's typing with invisible ink! [05:09] TJ-: can you specify what package i need to install or shall i need to clean any one ! [05:10] I also build gcc, octave ,r and scilab on my system, it is diffcult to clean this for me! [05:12] * DaemonicApathy thought he heard something from TJ's direction. [05:12] A strangled cry maybe :p [05:12] It's 06:12 here; I've been up 24 hours. I'm not well :) [05:13] I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu 12.0.4.1 with OS X 10.7 and when booting from the CD it has been flashing an underscore for ~20 minutes. I know they said it takes a long time, but is this normal? [05:14] OMFG [05:14] i just rebooted and my launcher icons are FSCKING huge [05:14] BaylorRae: No not normal at all. Did you get anything on-screen before it got stuck there? [05:14] i want them small [05:15] i am in unity 2d [05:15] Install compizconfig-settings-manager, go under Unity, adjust icon size. [05:15] TJ-: IIRC it opend rEFIt and I selected boot from CD [05:15] DaemonicApathy, unity 2d [05:15] Ah, sorry, selective oversight. [05:16] BaylorRae: Sounds like it doesn't like the CD then... did you do an md5sum check of the CD after burning it? [05:16] TJ-: No, only after downloading the .iso [05:16] HaltingState2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/how-to-change-unity-2d-launcher-icon-size-with-a-script might help. [05:17] HaltingState2, I would not get used to synonyms of swearwords here is is prohibited [05:17] BaylorRae: It's worth doing... knowing you have an uncorrupted CD is half the battle [05:17] it* [05:17] wilee-nilee, I would stop breaking ubuntu with updates [05:17] I am on a work computer and it keeps breaking every new version [05:17] sublime and blender and now i reboot and my taskbar is huge [05:18] TJ-: what is the MD5 I should compare to? Is the the same one I used for the .iso? [05:18] someone made the decision to take out the task bar too ;so i cant navigate between open programs; i had to install gnomebar [05:18] BaylorRae: Let me test my fu powers with the bot... hang on [05:18] !md5sum | BaylorRae [05:18] BaylorRae: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:19] why do i have to run a script to change the size of launcher icons!? [05:19] BaylorRae: The same technique can be used to test the burned CD, although if you're doing it from OSX, I can't help you with how to address the CDROM drive [05:22] HaltingState2: Because Unity2d is missing some of the nicer features that allow customization. [05:22] TJ-: ubottu: where can I find the MD5 for 12.0.4.1? [05:22] DaemonicApathy, i have to run unity 2d because the main unity is completely broken [05:22] why did my icon size change on reboot!? [05:23] BaylorRae: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [05:23] HaltingState2: I understand - I was only answering your question. [05:24] TJ-: Okay, I the comparison returned false. Was I supposed to check against the .iso file or is there a different one I should use? [05:24] If you've compared against the downloaded ISO and its wrong, then that is enough. If the ISO is good, check against the CD itself [05:25] BaylorRae: If the local ISO is bad, it must have been corrupted during download, so it'll need downloading afresh [05:27] TJ-: the downloaded .iso checked out fine, but it looks like the CD is corrupt. Does that sound right? === md_5|ext-away is now known as md_5 [05:27] BaylorRae: Time to burn another. [05:27] Yes... often burning does fail... sometimes bad disk, sometimes a dusty burner! [05:27] DaemonicApathy: okay, will do [05:28] Well I'm handing over to Boston MA ... Nottingham, UK is going to sleep :) [05:28] >_> [05:28] Is it OK to ask here for software suggestions to fit a specific problem? [05:29] No i do not believe it is [05:29] Why are so few games available on linux? [05:29] Because game developers are blind [05:29] Domincii: Don't you mean so few *good* games? [05:29] b636bc7ca:if its ubuntu related [05:29] yes, DaemonicApathy, I suppose you are right [05:29] Domincii: Steam is coming to Linux. Be patient. [05:30] Demincii Dual boot with windows 7 for steam. But i hear Steam will be coming to linux soon === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st === qos is now known as qos|away [05:30] guys lets keep to topic [05:30] HackinBlack, I can't afford to purchase an OS, part of the reason I'm running Ubuntu [05:30] I seem to be getting major compatibility problems though [05:30] Domincii So cant i. That is why they made thepiratebay ;p [05:31] Even when using Wine or POL [05:31] thepiratebay is offline [05:31] They were raided today [05:31] No its not [05:31] !ot [05:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:43] weeeeeeeeeeeee chat [05:45] anyone know if there is something I can do about folder sizes in nautilus not updating after I delete some stuff from within the folder? [05:46] like I would alt-enter to check a folder's size, say 37.8Mb. Then I delete a bunch of stuff inside of it, and when I check folder size again, it hasn't changed and is still 37.8Mb [05:47] 你们好 [05:52] I just saw someone leaving the car park next to my house to go to work, I've not been to bed yet, feels bad. [05:59] ok can someone help me iron out this ntp issue [05:59] ive done everything i can think of to work this out... [05:59] grendal_prime: wassup? [05:59] im still like 2 hours off..and nothing seems to work [05:59] i have ntp installed. [06:00] got two servers...setup...first off this is 12 04 server [06:00] grendal_prime: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [06:00] with like 4 vlans on it. KVM server [06:00] ya ntpdate not installed hold on [06:01] 2 Oct 00:53:19 ntpdate[11797]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting [06:01] so now i kill ntp [06:03] ok now its right..but..i keep reading that this is the wrong way of doing this cause ntpdate only runs at system start [06:03] so i need to set up ntp to check the pool and calculate drift and...you know all that crap..but it straight up does not work [06:04] bonżur [06:06] grendal_prime: can that system access the ntp servers that are configured, on the ntp port (UDP 123)? [06:06] its making me crazy....umm crazyer and im almost out of wine [06:07] timfrost, well im not blocking anything outbound [06:07] i got the list of servers i have from the ubuntu website. [06:07] so...i mean i dont know what else could be wrong. [06:07] i do get this.... [06:08] ntpd exiting on signal 15 [06:11] its crazy...and i got a werid other thing i have to look at tonight. i dont know [06:11] if i drink more i can get lost between here and the house...and then..just sleep under the trampline [06:11] crap i typed that didnt i [06:12] grendal_prime: What does "ntpdc -p" say? [06:12] hold please [06:13] read: Connection refused [06:13] but its turne off right now [06:13] That command queries a running ntpd. [06:13] so that is not really very ...well unexpected [06:14] you want i should turn the ntpd back on first? [06:14] Yup. [06:14] funny question [06:14] lists two servers [06:14] =ec2-50-16-231-1 173.166.255.77 2 64 1 0.09334 -8.872619 2.81735 [06:15] =europium.canoni 173.166.255.77 2 64 1 0.16257 -8.862274 2.81735 [06:15] by the way..i have done this before. [06:15] So looks like you're eight seconds off there with your local time. [06:15] damn it...I KNEW IT!!! [06:15] jk [06:16] So if you shut down ntpd, do an ntpdate against either of those servers, and then bring back up ntpd, what's your output look like then? [06:16] so..thats acceptable as far as im concerned [06:16] Actually, being that far off indicates fairly serious problems. [06:16] the problem i had was i was 2 hours off before [06:17] ok well cjs, this is the problem im not able to wrap my head around...why is this so damn difficult? [06:18] seems like ntp should be...you put in the list of servers you want to adjust agains..and wham... [06:18] Time synchronization over an unreliable network is an inherently difficult problem. :-) [06:18] it use to work just fine. [06:18] im on comcast [06:18] 30 meg download [06:18] 12 up [06:18] pretty sure that aint the issue [06:19] Anyway, NTP doesn't generally just bump the time by huge amounts; it tries to slide it smoothly if it can. It also tries to deal with clock drift and things like that. [06:19] i keep thinking its firewall related but...ive looked through that a 100+ times [06:19] Anyway, how does it look after an ntpdate? [06:20] hold please [06:21] =europium.canoni 173.166.255.77 2 64 1 0.16637 -0.243577 2.81735 [06:21] =clock01.sctn01. 173.166.255.77 2 64 1 0.10144 -0.254296 2.81735 [06:21] Wow, that far out already. Give it a minute and check ntpdc -p again; did it drift a lot more? [06:21] aloha folks... [06:22] Anyone here in the #wine channel? [06:22] im about out of wine [06:22] grendal_prime:is this a VM? [06:22] no this is the vm host [06:22] genewitch: You may need something stronger than that by the time you're done with this NTP thing. :-) [06:22] Oops, that was for grendal_prime . [06:23] well the rum..well its just gone...wich is a good thing really ..well for now [06:24] did i mention im an actual registerd pirate? I really fence...i also fly planes. grrrr...ntp [06:24] and i have adhd [06:24] So has it drifted further? [06:24] lets not get off topic here... [06:24] grendal_prime: cjs: can't blame guest time drift if it is the host :( [06:24] timfrost: Oh, good point. [06:24] and its very much the host [06:25] So you are in a VM. Are you the owner of the host, as well as the guest? [06:25] hi [06:25] Oh, wait, I just re-read that: this is the host OS with the issue, not a guest, right? [06:25] no im loged into the HOST [06:25] go game [06:25] Ok, fine. Anyway, how much drift now? [06:25] s/drift/offset/ [06:25] i have simalar problem with the guests..but i figued id start with the host first [06:26] Yes, that was a good plan. [06:26] since my plan was to point the vms to the host [06:27] !cups > lotuspsychje [06:27] lotuspsychje, please see my private message [06:27] hello [06:27] Has anyone had a problem adding a city to the weather indicator app? When I reach the last step and click done it just jams up on me :/ [06:27] ya im pretty ground down on this at this point. i guess i can just cron out the ntpdate...even thought everyone says "ARRRRG THATS A TERRIBLE WAY OF DEALING WITH THIS!" [06:28] Chromium or Firefox? which is better? [06:28] guys whats that http to print tru cups? [06:28] firefox [06:28] domincii..define better, thats very relative things [06:28] chrom tell it dont work. [06:28] but chromium seems a bit faster at times [06:28] Domincii: Both are equally good at starting flame wars when used in conjunction with the other. :-) [06:28] lotuspsychje: :631 [06:28] then firefox...(and that will happen) [06:28] lotuspsychje: localhost:631 [06:28] somsip:tnx [06:29] adp site does not work with chrom. [06:29] Domincii: If you're asking what you should use, I'd start with chromium and see how you like it. It's generally a bit faster and a bit more secure. But if things about the UI start to bug you, try Firefox. [06:29] not last time tried anyway. [06:29] Haha I figured as much cjs, I was thinking in terms of general speed, useful apps, and reliability not to crash etc [06:30] Domincii: Well, chrome rendering processes crash way more often that Firefox ever did for me, but on the other hand that doesn't crash the browser itself; you can just go back and reload the page. [06:30] i like things in chrom..but reality is..some things just do not work..and when you need to fill out your time card...well..keep firefox handy and updated [06:30] Righto, from the sounds of it there really isn't much in it, I guess it's mainly a preferential thing then? [06:30] cause chrom will be a big fat BLOW IT on that . [06:30] After many years with Firefox I tried out Chromium myself, and after a few months I'd pretty much switched to it completely. It's got its annoyances, but the convenience seems to outweigh those for me. [06:31] Yeah, I still keep firefox around. [06:31] If so I guess I'll try 'em both, thanks for the input everyone! [06:32] Chrom is the bad way to go. Firefox [06:32] i remember when it was all mozilla. but im friggin old and i dont seem to even understand ntp anymore [06:32] is the good side [06:33] I remember moving from Mosaic to Netscape Navigator. [06:33] yep me to..didnt want to mention that though. [06:33] really dates me [06:33] Heh. [06:33] I remember moving from dsll to cable. [06:33] remember trumpet? [06:33] It was the upgrade from gopher to WWW that was the really big one for me. Everything after that is just an incremental improvement. [06:34] Oh, yeah, trumpet winsock. This is seriously heading towards #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:34] I remember netscape [06:34] cjs: Re: FF~>Chromium: Same thing with me and Window vs Ubuntu. [06:34] but what if im still using it? [06:35] #puppylinux [06:35] mt sry [06:35] Puppy is useful for older systems.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:36] grendal_prime: ot" [06:37] grendal_prime: I have an ot question to ask [06:37] ot? [06:37] off-topic [06:37] grendal_prime | !ot [06:37] can you join ubuntu-offtopic w/me for one question? [06:37] Other way, hackinblack. [06:39] #kanchilug [06:40] Do you mean "/join #kanchilug" ? [06:40] i need help on pyqt and pymedia [06:40] Hi, Is there any way to read mount permissions of a mount point using linux System C programming? [06:41] rrajbe [06:41] yes, linux provides all of them [06:41] rrajbe: You mean, the information in /etc/fstab? The way the mount program interprets that is about the only thing that's really "mount permissions." [06:42] (By this I assume you mean, permission to mount and unmount filesystems at various places in the directory tree.) [06:42] Just 'mount' in CLI gives /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [06:42] I would like to read the permissions to the mount point like r,w mode [06:43] Oh, you want information about a filesystem that's currently mounted? [06:43] yes. Like display all persmissions of mounted filesystems. [06:43] What do you mean by "permissions"? [06:43] rrajbe: type mount in terminal [06:44] is there any application created using pymedia? [06:44] Yes. I can do it in terminal. Even if i do "cat /proc/mounts " i will get same. [06:44] But what i am looking is some system call like opendir() [06:45] rrajbe: doesn't 'exec' command in C run shell commands, the output may be capturable [06:45] rrajbe: You want to read /proc/mounts. [06:45] actionParsnip: You're thinking of the "system()" function. [06:45] or fstab or just less | mount] [06:45] oh yeah [06:45] not ] [06:46] cjs: anything possible other than reading the /proc/mounts content and parsing the information? [06:46] woot-0854: fstab is not what's mounted, it's a description what can be mounted. Maybe you're thinking of /etc/mtab? === qos is now known as qos|away [06:47] rrajbe: Possibly you could interrogate things with sysctl or something like that, but I do believe that reading and parsing /proc/mounts is the canonical interface for this. [06:47] cjs: you are right. I normally look at fstab for how it was mounted. but mtab contains mounted info [06:47] Not to mention almost certainly the easiest way of doing this. [06:47] cjs: Thanks. :) Will read more. [06:48] rrajbe: Getting this sort of information from the kernel into other programs is in fact exactly what /proc was designed for. [06:49] Im looking to check all mount points which are in 'ro' mode. [06:49] And trust me, it's a lot nicer than sysctl(). :-) [06:51] I'm suspecting that the first two letters of the fourth field are always 'rw' or 'ro', so it's actually a pretty trivial parsing job in C if you trust them never to put a space in a pathname. (Though how they'd avoid that, I'm not sure.) [06:53] Ah, they're not complete idiots after all. Here you go: a device mounted on "/This is bad!": [06:54] /dev/sdb1 /This\040is\040bad! vfat rw,... [06:56] cjs: /This\ is\ bad! <-- would this work as an alternative to 040? [06:57] woot-0854: No, fstab(5) specifically says you must use \040 to represent a space [06:57] woot-0854: What I'm showing is what the kernel give you back when you query /proc/mounts. Nothing to do with how you specify it to the mount command. [06:57] :) [06:57] I in fact used <<< mount /dev/sdb1 "/This is bad!" >> myself. [06:58] ah, with the mount command, you can use regular shell quoting, yes. === PrAsHaNt is now known as PaSsI__ [07:00] pyqt and pymedia is simple applications ?

I use the command "amixer -q sset Master 2+" to increase volume and 2- to decrease [07:41] somsip: I do a similar thing. except mine does "amixer -c 0 set Master 1+ unmute" [07:41] Ben64: do you do it in a way that might help XiaolinDraconis?

[07:49] well php5 is installed, but somehow without mysqli, so i gotta redo it, or wanna try at least. aptitude/apt-get remove php5 will give me a 'package is not installed', package is right there in /etc/php5, i can execute php on the commandline and apache still loads php pages [07:50] Shadow`_: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep php5 please use a pastebin or pipe to pastebinit :) [07:50] libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cli, php5-common [07:50] ah [07:50] Shadow`_: that's not the full output [07:51] ye want version nrs and describtion too?

[07:57] Shadow`_: is the folder not used by the other php5* packages? [07:58] not sure, its an ancient 8.0 ubuntu i upgraded to 12 [07:58] i should've just wiped the darn thing and install deb [07:58] Shadow`_: how did you upgrade? [07:58] Shadow`_: Stuff under /etc/php5 is marked as 'configuration', and those are only deleted if you do 'apt-get --purge remove ...' [07:59] Shadow`_: did you upgrade to Lucid in between? [07:59] the do-release-upgrade command or something [07:59] "Note the removing a package leaves its configuration files in system."

[08:22] nevermind [08:22] i think i didnt secify that it was a keycode [08:23] hi, I had transfer my email on mozilla thunderbird files from my other laptop. but when I open thunderbird, it crashed after few seconds. I cant find what the problem is. im using ubuntu 12.04. other laptop also 12.04. [08:23] the only difference is other laptop was 64bit, this is 32bit. Im not sure how relevant that is to the problem.. but just mentioned.. [08:23] anyone knows whats the cause of the problem? [08:24] did you try to launch it from a terminal ? === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [08:24] hey [08:26] nina666: just type "thunderbird" in a terminal [08:27] why here is so quite? [08:28] Calinou, mtrd`w, i just tried, samething... [08:28] it crashed after few seconds [08:28] there must be some error messages [08:28] i really need my email files [08:29] I'm being advised to dual boot Windows with Ubuntu instead of trying to play games with only Ubuntu installed, what say ye #ubuntu? Is this the best way to go about it? [08:29] so qiut [08:29] Domincii: probably yes [08:29] windows does it better [08:30] nina666: open a terminal, start it from there, see if you get a meaningful error message? [08:30] larger selection of games [08:30] Domincii: depends how much of a gamer you are [08:30] Domincii for games, you best stick to windows, [08:30] I think the windows is the best OS to play games. [08:30] lots of awesome games on linux [08:30] Domincii: works for me but then I don't do games About all I do with windows is update a/v software and m$ updates [08:30] MS = Main Stream [08:31] but it says that the steam will be installed in ubuntu [08:31] this is true [08:32] Domincii: depends on the game [08:32] XiaolinDraconis: i play urban terror and penumbra on Linux just dandy [08:32] so I think you can play dota2 in ubuntu ater sooner. [08:32] ThinkT510 and MonkeyDust, my second question is, should I dual boot both and partition my hard drives so each has half the memory, or should I have Windows as my OS and run Ubuntu on occasion via one of those VM things? [08:33] rp2, Calinou, mtrd`w; ok, done that , said thunderbird suddenly crashed. this is the details of crash report : http://pastebin.com/WjPANsr7 [08:33] Domincii: memory = ram, i think you mean harddisk space [08:33] Domincii depends on what you use your pc for, apart from games [08:33] I think the first choice is better [08:33] actionParsnip, never heard of penumbra, but i just got torchlight on ubuntu [08:34] XiaolinDraconis: its a horror fps survivor [08:34] even I have heard of penumbra and i'm not a gamer [08:34] I have two OS in my computer together. [08:34] ThinkT510, you're right, that's what I meant :P [08:35] im not up on current gaming events, using very dated hardware [08:35] lsj8924: http://dota2linux.dy.fi/ [08:35] MonkeyDust, mainly just browsing the web, using ircs and skyping folks [08:35] Domincii: the space you allocate to ubuntu depends on what you want to use it for, i have a 10gb partition for ubuntu and thats plenty for me [08:35] ThinkT510, wow, is that with dual booting or VM? [08:35] use ubuntu for browsing the web [08:36] Domincii: multi-boot, i use more than 2 OSes [08:36] its safer\ [08:36] Domincii I have 15G for /home -- 60% used [08:36] XiaolinDraconis: windows can be just as safe, depends on config [08:36] isnt the problem caused by the fact that the profile files were from a 64-bit system on a 32bit system? [08:37] rp2, Calinou, mtrd`w; isnt the problem caused by the fact that the profile files were from a 64-bit system on a 32bit system? [08:37] can anyone confirm what version nvidia 173 is stable on Please? I don't need unity as such as I use awesomewm [08:37] Domincii: i also use a storage partition so that whatever OS i boot i can access all my files (very good for reinstalling too) [08:37] Domincii I have 15G for / -- 60% used (oops, mistyped) [08:37] MonkeyDust ThinkT510, I have 2.2Tb hard disk space, I would've done 50/50 between Ubuntu and Windows if not for you guys :P thanks! [08:37] nina666: did you paste the *real* output from the terminal ? It looks like a simple crash report, no info. [08:38] mtrd`w; terminal doesnt give me any error. this is only a pop-up window [08:38] Domincii yeah, but I also have remote storage on an old pc (2002) [08:38] does it have verbose version?

[08:39] clear [08:39] Have fun. [08:40] i dont see any verbose thing [08:41] nina666: i've got thunderbird on 3 differents computer, with different OS, 32 bit and 64 bit. There must be a configuration problem. [08:41] i checked xmodmap and it says keycode 112 is set to raise volume key but its not working!!! grr [08:41] nina666: when you say you copied all of your emails over, how did you do that? And do you use an IMAP mailbox? === DaemonicApathy is now known as Dae [08:43] XiaolinDraconis: if you run the amixer command, does it change the volume? [08:44] actionParsnip, havent tried that [08:44] somsip, I copied the *.default folder and pasted it in the new system [08:44] XiaolinDraconis: probably worth exploring.....if its the wrong command, it won't change the volume will it [08:44] and yes it is an IMAP mailbox, but I never had problems on the other machine [08:45] when thunderbird opens I can see my emails that comes from the profile, but crashes after 2-3 seconds [08:45] actionParsnip, could u paste somsip's command my log doesnt go that far back [08:45] nina666: well...if it's IMAP, can't you just setup your user/pas and download everything again? And you did copy to ~/.thunderbird/*.default? [08:45] XiaolinDraconis: why did you not verify you had the right command before messing with keyboard shortcut stuff? [08:46] XiaolinDraconis: amixer -c 0 set Master 1+ unmute [08:46] nina666: and you copied profiles.ini too? [08:46] actionParsnip, because my xmodmap method is temorary [08:46] somsip; no, because emails are not there anymore. and yes i did that [08:46] yes [08:46] the whole thing [08:46] XiaolinDraconis: but you still need to make sure the command you are running is right.... [08:47] nina666: did you chown the files to the new user? [08:47] actionParsnip, i have been googling and cannot find the xmodmap way of doing it [08:47] nina666: this looks old, but have you played with the profile manager? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder [08:48] XiaolinDraconis: yes but you have a command, which you haven't tested, once you know the command works and changes the volume, then you can mess with the keyboard stuff [08:48] nina666: and your permissions are good in your new .thunderbird folder? [08:48] actionParsnip, how could i know if it worked without testing? [08:49] XiaolinDraconis: you run the command in the terminal, if the command changes the volume you have a winner [08:49] nina666: and try thunderbird -safe-mode which might allow you to rebuild your email DB [08:49] somsip; yes to all questions [08:50] XiaolinDraconis: but you've not tested it so you are pressing the shortcut in hope that the command is ok and getting frustrated when it doesn't work when you have faild to check the command is even going to do what you want? [08:50] actionParsnip, the method i used was not a command to alter volume, but to alter keys, its the only method i really knew of, aside from the amixer command and i dont know how to set keys to run commands [08:51] Can someone else? I am trying to do command make install and it says i dont have gen essencial directory or file error but i installed essientals [08:51] somosip; wow that worked! [08:51] nina666: and are you able to rebuild the DB [08:51] somosip; the safemode thing [08:51] actionParsnip, and the command did do what i want, output of xmodmap -pke shows keycode 112 is set to audioraisevolume [08:52] somsip, firstly, thanks alot [08:52] somsip, but what do you mean by rebuilding? [08:52] actionParsnip, audioraisevolume is set as a key in the keyboard shortcuts [08:52] nina666: no worries. Have to chuck a few coconuts until you win a fish... [08:52] Can someone help im trying to comile and install ( make install) and it says error /lib/modules/3.2.0-31-generic/build no such file or directory Stop. I installed essenstials thought PLEASE help [08:53] nina666: ISTR an option on the File menu to rebuild the message index [08:53] nina666: or is it Compact... [08:54] Can someone else? I am trying to do command make install and it says i dont have gen essencial directory or file error but i installed essientals [08:54] somsip; i see compact folders [08:54] somsip; but the thing is, before this i never compact it on my old laptop [08:55] nina666: I'm thinking of soemthing to repair the problem that causes it to crash in normal mode. [08:56] somsip; thats fine, anything that works. i just wanted to let you know [08:56] nina666: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders tells us "Right click on each corrupt folder in Thunderbird, select Properties, and then press the Rebuild Index button. Its quicker/simpler if you only have a problem with a few folders, such as the Inbox."

[09:14] Dae, i want it to start chromium with a parameter [09:14] philipp__: right click to "stick to panel", drag and drop to re-order [09:14] The easiest thing to do would be to make a launcher, then add that to the Unity panel.

[09:22] QuantumQrack: the i386 version is for any 32bit (or 64bit) CPU, the AMD64 version is for any 64bit CPU. which you choose depends on if you want 32 or 64bit [09:22] hellook [09:23] ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386 <--?

[09:24] QuantumQrack: get the 64 bit one, unless your computer is 8+ years old [09:24] have plenty of ram and spare sticks of ram lying around. Maybe 6 gigs [09:24] it will almost always work [09:24] 64 bit supports > 3GB RAM and is faster [09:24] ahh, good point, forgot about that. [09:24] Calinou: its not outright faster [09:24] the 32bit version supports more than 4GB of RAM too [09:24] with PAE [09:24] PAE is terrible [09:24] I have 8GB ram [09:24] messes up with drivers [09:25] and doesn't change per process limit [09:25] thx guys it worked [09:25] Calinou: some apps under 64bit will be faster, like audio and video encoding [09:25] that edit such things does not work out of the box is a joke though [09:25] Calinou: for web access and that sort of thing itwill make near-zero difference [09:25] The cpu is an AMD Atholon 64 X2 dual core [09:26] 64Bit is the future [09:26] QuantumQrack: I'd use 64bit then [09:26] use 64bit [09:26] !brainstorm > philipp__ [09:26] philipp__, please see my private message [09:26] k [09:27] actionParsnip: who said I was talking about web access?

[09:28] philipp__ you're free to not use unity [09:28] If you ur system support 64bit use 64bit that simple [09:28] dev___: in data intensive stuff like encoding data it will be difference [09:28] thats what im talking about action [09:28] MonkeyDust, i know and hell i have no idea why i still installed it... [09:28] dev___: but saying '64bit is faster' is misleading [09:28] philipp__: The more advanced Ubunters may choose something other than Unity, for easier access to the features they like. Unity seems to focus more on simplicity for the common user, though. [09:28] philipp__ it's there by default [09:28] MonkeyDust, i usually use debian stable but need ubuntu for school [09:28] No its not [09:29] Ill compare my rig to any 32bit anyday [09:29] dev___: it is because it sounds like using word processing and so forth willbe faster too, which it won't [09:30] Dae, i once installed unity by my grandmother. if i would have been able to edit a couple of things it would be fine... so she abandoned it [09:30] xfce ftw [09:30] Action though.

For example, the firewall would be generating logs, you can disable that with sudo ufw logging off [11:16] kevind, have you purge it ? === jacta_ is now known as CreazioN [11:17] is it possible to use a .exe screensaver via wine in ubuntu 12.04?

[11:18] bomgard: I see. My aim is to disable all the logs related to internet traffic, so to speak. [11:19] can you put a snippet of the logs in question in pastebin or similar so I can see what source is generating them? I'm quite certain they might be generated by ufw [11:19] creazion, what do you want with umask ? [11:20] blackshirt: i ran purge now but apache is still searching in /usr/share/owncloud" hmm [11:20] kevind: are you configured your apache manually ? [11:20] blackshirt: on debian its default 0022 - on ubuntu 0002 if im not mistaken [11:21] And i need same umask as default debian apache [11:21] blackshirt: i installed apache with apt-get. i just modified the port.conf [11:21] bomgard: beeing honest, I meant all the sources of all the logs. I will do what you said about ufw first. [11:22] janek_: if you have multiple sources have a look at syslog-ng filters that will let you route any sources you like to /dev/null [11:22] blackshirt: is there a way to "reinstall" apt-get packages ? [11:22] bomgard: Excellent, big thanks. Will look into it. [11:23] janek_: most welcome [11:24] kevind, yes, just install it again [11:24] or if was installed, you can use --reinstall options [11:24] CreazioN: i'm not sure [11:25] blackshirt: i need it with custom umask so when it create folders its set without php doing anything [11:27] list [11:34] when is steam coming to ubuntu?

[13:19] unity 2D went away Fuzzles, but that is a good thing because they have it working nicely in 12.10 for older machines [13:20] designbybeck, have you tried it yourself on an older machine? [13:21] yes obxhdx I'm running it on my netbook as well as I've done a live boot and install on an older HP [13:21] designbybeck, what you mean went away?

Anyone know of a project that acts as a fileserver, that can save 100 million files in a redundant and sharded way? I would like to have it saved on 3 servers, be able to take backups and be able to grow to 10 billion files by adding more hardware [13:46] primski, http://www.iceflatline.com/2010/02/how-to-install-and-configure-dnsmasq/ [13:46] thomaspr: what I do, is just overwrite libflashplayer.so with the version I want for our hulu player, which brings back not only desktop interoperability but vdpau accel etc. [13:46] hi i am new in ubuntu, my wireless connection is showing disable, can any one please tell me how can i enable wireless in my ubuntu 10.04, thanks?

[13:54] sab0 10.04 server ? [13:55] H-hey guys, I was advised earlier to install Windows and dual boot Ubuntu with it for the playing of gaimz, I have windows but I don't have a disk driver (I do, I just don't know how to wire it up properly) and even if I did I don't have a CD big enough to hold the .iso thingy, could I possibly move it to one of my HDD's/SSD's and boot it from there? there is stuff on all of those disks already though, would I have to remove it? [13:56] Domincii: you are asjing how to boot a windows iso file? [13:56] Domincii: do you have a thumbdrive? Very easy to install from USB assuming your bios will boot to USB. [13:56] Domincii: what do you mean "disk driver" ? [13:56] I don't have a thumb drive big enough to hold it sadly [13:57] * L3top assumes he means the ubuntu iso... [13:57] guess not [13:57] /join ##windows [13:57] L3top, omg, satan has a channel! [13:57] grub2 can be configured to boot some iso files [13:57] FlowRiser: please don't [13:57] it makes this channel look stupid with that sort of comment [13:57] Only my internal HDD, my external HDD, or my internal SSD, all of those have stuff already stored on them, if I try to boot a different OS from them? [13:58] Domincii: that is not a coherent question. What are you trying to install? [13:58] ikonia, yeah, i guess you're right [13:58] And to restate, I current have Ubuntu 12.04 install [13:58] installed* [13:58] Domincii: best would be go get a usb flash [13:58] I want to install Windows 7 [13:58] I have it as an .iso === Sidewinder is now known as Scrapple [13:58] We do not support that here Domincii. /join ##windows [13:58] I'm told to put it on CD and boot from CD [13:59] Right [13:59] Domincii, search for a lightweight win7 install [13:59] I see, thanks [13:59] Domincii: you can image ut to usb [13:59] Domincii: be forewarned that windows is going to blow up the MBR and you will have to reinstall grub etc [13:59] Domincii: typically you should install windows first, then ubuntu. [14:00] FlowRiser: what are you talking about a "light weight" windows install [14:00] FlowRiser: all windows installs are the same - core OS [14:00] I assume he means like performance edition etc... which are not official windows releases and not licensed. [14:00] L3top, yup [14:01] right, so recommending illegal products, great [14:01] Cant suggest people violate law here FlowRiser. [14:01] MBR? what is that? [14:01] FlowRiser: please don't offer such suggestions [14:01] Domincii: Master Boot Record [14:02] Aah, right [14:02] ikonia, got it; It's funny, the only reason i installed Ubuntu was to hack into my school's server. From that moment i was hooked onto Ubuntu :D [14:03] Domincii: grub will allow you to boot into either windows or ubuntu or any number of things... windows boot loader only sees windows... it will not recognize your ubuntu install. Again I would recommend backing up your current /home directory, installing windows, then reinstalling ubuntu, and moving /home back or better yet, putting it on its own partition. === Sidewinder1 is now known as Sidewinder [14:04] Could you possibly help me to do that? [14:04] L3top, win7/8 loader can be placed on the grub [14:05] yes LorSamPau_w. I am evidently not being clear. Windows boot loader will not give you an option to boot into anything other than windows OS, versus grub. [14:05] LorSamPau_w: no, grub chainloads the windows bootloader [14:06] Domincii: cp /home off onto one of your other drives in the machine. Install windows... then I will help you do anything you like when you get back to the ubuntu install. [14:07] FlowRiser - I don't think you can expect help in commiting unlawfull acts on this irc channel.. btw I am a retired school IT professional. [14:07] L3top: wouldnt it be better to install windows, use livecd to chroot and just reinstall grub? [14:08] That can be done as well... but this will require resizing the ubuntu install, formatting it to ntfs... I was just thinking this way was less error prone. [14:08] chris92: ^ [14:08] if you exclaim so clearly that your reason for this installation is to enable hacking into a school server - you are a bit off track here I feel... [14:08] L3top I'm being told cpL omitting directory /home [14:08] frybye, lets move on [14:09] bazhang - I can see your point but this kid is not in line expecting help he declares is for school server hacking that can bring a school to its knees sometimes... [14:09] L3top: ahh didnt know what his hard drive setup was [14:09] Domincii: sudo cp -r /home /path/to/drive [14:10] Hi. I just installed the updates in Ubuntu 12.04 and grub-pc was updated. The update manager told me that there was a conflict in /etc/default/grub because I had previously modified that file, and now the update tried to override my changes. So I selected "show me a 3-way diff" in the combo box and clicked "next", but then the window just went away and I'm stuck with my old /etc/default/grub [14:10] or sudo rsync -avv --progress [14:10] what can I do to see the changes that the update wanted to write to that file? [14:10] when booting, if grub says "Error, out of partition" what exactly it means? [14:11] good point MonkeyDust... I do not utilize that awesome utility enough. [14:11] hey I try to use an ant copy task but it will just not overwrite even overwrite=true is set, any idea? [14:12] afk === Sidewinder is now known as Scrapple [14:13] L3top I've done that command, I moved it to my external HDD, when I input my password I didn't get a password correct or password incorrect message it just moved down to a blank space, however in my External HDD folder a file called System Volume Information was created [14:14] hoolaaaaaaa [14:14] hmm, wondering why the version of nagios in the ubuntu 12.04 repos is several years old even though there's been stable versions since [14:14] :( [14:15] !latest | jiffe98 [14:15] jiffe98: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. === Scrapple is now known as Sidewinder [14:15] Mariaf you need help ? [14:15] ThinkT510: that's why I included the stable release statement [14:16] I just created a new machine for nagios and it turns out ubuntu installed the same version I installed on our current machine in 2008 [14:16] jiffe98, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro. you can compile or look for a PPA if you wish to bypass package management [14:16] jiffe98: what was the current stable release during april? [14:16] ThinkT510: 3.3.1 [14:17] Can anyone tell me how to join the steam linux beta? [14:17] If I format my boot drive will I be able to install my Windows .iso onto it and restart to install Windows or will it mess everything up? [14:17] nikitis: its a closed beta for 1000 people invited by valve [14:17] jiffe98: and what is in the repos? [14:17] nikitis: at this point, its not possible to join it [14:18] ThinkT510: 3.2.3 [14:18] nikitis - its a small by invitation beta as far as I know... [14:18] chris92: I applied by email to them a couple of weeks ago, [14:18] nikitis: if you didnt receive an answer, then you probably aren't invited [14:19] that would be sad. I was a beta tester for original steam and have been wanting this since back then. [14:19] not that big a deal, I can install that myself if I need it, just trying to get a grasp of how these packages move along [14:19] nikitis: as far as I know, the beta didnt even start yet [14:20] chris92: i know, but invites have to go out before === qos is now known as qos|away [14:20] nikitis: they probably get sent on the same day via a steam gift + email [14:21] nikitis: here is an article ab out it (in German - use tlx service if needed.) http://www.golem.de/news/valve-steam-fuer-ubuntu-kommt-in-betaphase-1209-94794.html [14:22] Domincii: as you may have noticed I am going in and out. I am testing atm so I am going to continue to be in and out for the next 30 min or so. [14:22] L3top no problem dude, thanks for your help so far, maybe I'll catch you later!

But can I switch out my drive with ubuntu into any other system? ie.. I'm going to replace my mobo/cpu and ram.. but keep my SSD. [14:46] decci: decompile? in general you can't, though you can disassemble with objdump [14:46] layke__, yes, you can [14:46] layke__: shouldn't be a problem === Scrapple is now known as Sidewinder1 [14:46] Okay thanks. Years ago I had troubles with Windows, but wasn't sure if Ubuntu had similar hardware constraints in place. [14:46] layke__, usually works fine [14:46] Don't know why they would exist anyway :) [14:47] layke__, except when you have a 64bit OS and try to put into a 32bit system... [14:47] Yeah of course rumpe1. I'll stick to the same 64,. [14:47] hi, how do i add name servers to /etc/resolv.conf so they will still be there when i reboot? i've tried several ways and nothing is working [14:47] layke__, you might have issues with networking when it adds another nic [14:47] it might not forget the old one [14:47] layke__: if you change graphics-adapter it might be a bit tricky too [14:48] !resolvconf > llutz [14:48] llutz, please see my private message [14:48] !resolvconf > lledet [14:48] lledet, please see my private message [14:48] Yup cheers.

[15:16] Because I can't run WoW without it freezing every two or three minutes [15:16] llutz: thing is that 3rd party packages may be necessary because ubuntu is slow in getting new packs in the repo :( [15:17] Domincii: it's break time [15:17] Kittens: checkout wah arcade.

[15:19] No, that's an answer I found here http://askubuntu.com/questions/127848/wine-cant-find-gnome-keyring-pkcs11-so [15:20] Domincii: so how are you getting from appdb to there...? [15:20] google [15:20] Domincii: just follow appdb === elfenixtorres_ is now known as elfenixtorres [15:20] the appdb area didn't mention anything about the problem i've encountered [15:20] i followed it to the letter for my install [15:20] but there's nothing written about my specific problem [15:21] Domincii: great. So what's your specific problem? [15:22] Jrib, it's installed perfectly, it will open and I can log in etc, however it freezes every couple of minutes for a long period of time, usually 40-60 seconds [15:23] Domincii: there's talk about that on the appdb page [15:24] Domincii: what's the output of « apt-cache policy wine »?

[15:29] Domincii: you can search the page for "freez" [15:30] jrib, thanks, sorry. [15:31] i'm looking for an IRC client for Ubuntu that is as user-friendly and featured as LimeChat for OS X. for example, just some pre-installed themes and automatic nick highlighting would be nice. :) [15:31] fruitflies: try xchat [15:31] jrib, it's telling me to downgrade wine from 1.5 to 1.4, how can i do that? [15:31] Domincii: what's the output of « apt-cache policy wine »? [15:32] jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256151/ [15:32] Domincii: use ppa-purge on that ppa you have there [15:33] can anyone help me? why is ubuntu using my the 2 extra buttons as a mouse wheel on my logitech g9x mouse instead of the real wheel? [15:33] p is set by what program? it mirrors/turns off my monitors [15:34] Thinkt510: ok, ty [15:35] jrib, done [15:35] Domincii: check that wine was downgraded === fuller is now known as fuller_afk [15:37] max999: from my limited experience with mice in linux it seems there are no difference between the mouse wheel and the other buttons.. rolling the wheel just sends repeated BUTTON 5 messages to the system (5 is just an example) [15:37] is there a way to leave a message for someone in this channel? [15:37] jrib according to wine --version it's still 1.5.14 [15:37] hey people not yet solved my problem with wired network still not working [15:38] Domincii: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy wine [15:38] max999: so you need to find a way of telling the system that these buttons are a scroll wheel and not regular buttons.. I think this used to be configured in xorg.conf but these days I'm not sure any more [15:38] hungryhubby: restate the details [15:38] can somebody solve this problem iam trying out........using natty [15:39] jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256170/ [15:39] output of some of errors here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230368/ [15:39] slart: i found some hints to use xorg.conf on google too but the lines people added there were not related to changing the way a button behaves [15:39] Domincii: you haven't removed the ppa using ppa-purge [15:39] stupid gnome devs and their hidden key shortcuts! why oh why are they not in the keyboard shortcut app? :( [15:39] I copied http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ [15:39] and wrote sudo ppa-purge http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ [15:40] hungryhubby, have you run , sudo dhclient eth0 , or whatever your ethernet is called [15:40] network is blocked.... [15:40] max999: have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [15:40] Domincii: and? What was the output? I don't think that's the proper syntax [15:40] max999: not sure if that's up to date but it might give you some ideas to try [15:40] hungryhubby: i wrote you pm [15:40] I've got a motherboard with only one SATA port, and both my DVD drive and hard drive are SATA -- to install Ubuntu from a live CD, can I boot with the DVD drive hooked up, let the system load up into memory, disconnect the DVD drive and hook up the harddrive? will that work, or am I just going to risk shocking myself for no reason? [15:41] hungryhubby, run the command I posted and paste the output in pastebin pls [15:41] jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/1256171/ [15:41] jj995: why not install from USB?

[15:41] slart: thanks that should help will try to remap [15:41] Domincii: did you read it? [15:41] jj995: afaik you need to read FROM the disc and write TO the hdd in order to install [15:41] at the same time [15:42] jj995: (oh and to answer your question.. I'm not sure but I think it needs the disc during the install) [15:42] jrib, apt-update didnt do anything [15:42] Domincii: did you read what you just pasted? [15:42] Slart: thanks but my dumb motherboard doesn't appear to support booting from USB [15:42] ------------> sudo apt-get update [15:42] jrib yes [15:42] it does support booting from network, but those instructions seem sort of complicated [15:42] Domincii: it says it couldn't remove the ppa you specified. Try this: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [15:42] jj995: usb connected cd drive? [15:43] jj995: or you cant boot from that either? [15:43] jrib it deleted loads of my stuff :( [15:44] Domincii: it shouldn't do that without asking for confirmation [15:44] jrib it said it was going to clear space in wine, I'm unsure as to why it deleted Skype, that was installed independently of Wine [15:45] Domincii: I don't know. You should be able to just install the packages back though [15:45] jrib, never mind, it's all gone now (wine I mean) how do I reinstall as 1.4? === fuller_afk is now known as fuller [15:46] on windows command line I can do dir sale*.txt, in ubuntu whats the equivalent of that with LS? I figured a way around it doing ls | grep sale but thats not really the same and its a lot more typing [15:47] Praxi: ls sale*.txt [15:47] hi ppl [15:47] hmm it didn't work for me Pici, let me check to make sure it wasn't a boneheaded moment [15:47] slart: i can sucessfully map other buttons on my mouse wheel like rightclick and i can map it to (obviously) use the function of mouse wheel scrolling down ur up (button 4 / 5) but i didnt figure out yet, how to just make it use the scroll [15:48] Praxi: Remember that Linux is case sensitive. Are you sure that your filenames aren't mixed case? === seednode__ is now known as Seednode [15:48] ahh heres the problem, so in windows that command is 1 depth, in ubuntu its giving me stuff in sub folders and its organized badly [15:48] Domincii: just installing wine should installing 1.4 [15:48] -ing [15:48] guess I should say sub directories before someone stones me [15:49] Pici: ls sale*.txt will generally work, but the way it works in windows/linux is quite different. In windows, the program gets passed the *, and the program is responsible for managing that. In linux, when you do "ls sale*.txt", ls gets passed the arguments for EVERYTHING that matches it, so for example "ls *" on a directory with files "a", "b", "c" and a directory called "d" would be the same as "ls a b c d" [15:50] max999: I've got no good answers for you.. it's been to long since I had to mess with the mouse buttons.. the last versions of ubuntu just got it working for me out of the box.. you can use xev to see what mouse button messages are sent when you click different stuff.. after that I guess googling and asking here might be your best options [15:50] since d is a directory, and "ls d" would list the contents of that directory, thats what you will get [15:50] Pumpkin-: I'm aware, but as Praxi said sale*.txt, I figured that it wouldn't match a directory name. [15:50] I meant Praxi :) [15:50] damn you for both having names that start with P [15:51] it is something I find a lot of people struggle with at first [15:51] hello people [15:51] LOL [15:51] help me plea [15:51] Praxi: you probably just want ls -d [15:51] qw[Russian] start with a question [15:52] Praxi: find might also do what you want if you have files with different cases, something like: find /path/ -maxdepth 1 -iname "file*txt" [15:52] hmm yes in the particular case I'm working on now, it is directories. so -d is directory? [15:52] i would like install in Chromium Flash player [15:52] help me please [15:52] !flash [15:52] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:52] !help | qw[Russian] [15:52] qw[Russian]: 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 [15:52] ya I'm pretty familiar with case problems Pici, I'm use to find / -iname hehe [15:52] maybe use command in konsole? [15:53] Praxi: « ls directory » will list the contents of directory. « ls -d directory » will just return "directory" (ls won't enter into the directory and list its contents) [15:53] 37 ping ftw [15:54] I need a hand pls... I changed /etc/apache2/ports.conf to reflect the port I haveopen in my firewall but apache is not working (duh) [15:54] I have a big directory couple hundred items, mostly folders at the root, few files, If I was on windows and did dir sale* it would show me directories and files, but only at the root. How can I repeat that? on my big directory if I do ls sale* I get everything in the subdirectories also, making the listing worse. the -d helped, just trying to future proof :) [15:55] qw[Russian], which desktop are you using , for unity install ubuntu-restricted-extras, for kde , kubuntu-restricted-extras [15:55] Are there any webcams to buy with native kernel support? Without the need for compiling a module etc. [15:55] cire wrong channel [15:55] cire: there used to be a site listing different webcams and how well they work.. can't rememeber the url though [15:55] !webcam [15:55] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [15:55] Praxi: future proof what? What exactly are you doing with the listing? === dpac|away is now known as dpac === ludwig_ is now known as Ludwig_AFK [15:56] if I want a list of files and directories in the root [15:56] Praxi: ls [15:56] or ls / [15:56] Thank you, I will have a look thewre [15:56] Praxi: or « ls -a » if you want the hidden ones too [15:56] ls sale* returns things from all subdirectories [15:56] Praxi: why not go with ls | grep -i "sale*" [15:56] i am not understand [15:56] Praxi: why are you passing "sale*" if you want all the files and directories in the root? [15:57] Praxi: it might seem nasty and long but it's very flexible [15:57] I want the windows behavior of dir sale* where it returns things matching sale from the current directory. Sorry my root was a misnomer [15:57] Praxi: ls -d sale* [15:57] thats only directories though isn't it? [15:57] Praxi: no [15:57] ahh! [15:58] if i have different repositories in my sources.list that offer the same program, how do I chose which version gets installed? [15:58] thanks all! :) [15:58] Hey everyone, quick question. How can I install an application from the repository as a different user? I want to install gitolite and have it run under a "git" user that I made. Any ideas? [15:58] scarrs, I think your in the wrong channel for that, but have you checked your virtual directories in apache2.conf or any other conf files? [15:59] jjb123, su? [15:59] jjb123: Unless the package was already configured to do that at install time, you can't. You'll just have to install and then change the configuration afterwards. [15:59] ? [16:00] Pici: Hum, could I use su to log in as that user and then apt-get install from there? [16:00] is it possible to transfare a file from windows 7 to ubuntu when you dual-boot? [16:00] jjb123: apt-get installs stuff for the entire system, it has nothing to do with what user your run it as. [16:00] tryy3: yes, mount the windows partition [16:00] I want to learn python,which channel should i go? [16:00] lsj8925: take one guess :) [16:00] tryy3 if you're in ubuntu, mount the ntfs partition, cp the files you need [16:00] tryy3, ubuntu can mount the windows partition, not so much if you want windows to see the file [16:01] Praxi: ty but I just solved my problem :) [16:01] lsj8925: (#python should be your guess) [16:01] lsj8925: you've been told multiple times: /join #python [16:01] o [16:01] was I close scarrs? :) [16:01] Praxi: yes you were [16:01] woot!

[16:53] myhero, it depends on the content of the tarball [16:53] myhero, a tarball is like a zip file, it may contain a binary executable or source code that needs to be built [16:54] myhero, there is usually a readme file, an install text file to guide installation [16:55] reed: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gyachi/ BluesKaj this is the tarball...i want to install it....i am doing as said in the install text file but still problems [16:55] myhero, if you can find a deb version of the same file it would be much easier that having to compile [16:56] BluesKaj: i looked for deb but looks like its not available [16:57] myhero: " Last Update: 2011-09-03" are you sure you want to use that? [16:57] an IRC client?

[17:00] Speech disabled. [17:00] llutz: BluesKaj - MonkeyDust recommended a deb version but its too old and for karmic [17:01] myhero, like i said extract the file and look for the "Readme" and "Install" text files in the extracted folder , these are very straight forward instructions and easy to follow [17:01] sudo dpkg -i test.deb [17:02] Disabled freenode speech. [17:02] also one question - does compiling app on local system gives a better and smoother performing app as compared to pre-compiled deb or ppa build ? [17:02] i do sudo dpkg -E -G -i *.deb [17:03] myhero: No. [17:03] myhero, not really , they're just packaged differently , unless of course one is newer than the other [17:03] bekks: no for what ? my question or my pkg command option ? [17:03] dpkg* [17:04] BluesKaj: ok [17:04] myhero: On your question [17:04] ok [17:06] Is anyone here good with shell scripting? I want to write an "if" statements like the following pseudo-code: "if $variable is either A, B org C, then..." Anyone know the easiest way to do this?

[17:08] reed: i really wanna learn coz where ever you go...its not necessary that you will have deb or ppa but you will get the tarball for sure [17:08] myhero, never had to deal with a tarball since 1998 [17:09] myhero, modern distributions have all the software you need :) and it comes in a very nice 'app store' fashion [17:09] if the software is not packaged is usually a good sign that it's crap [17:09] reed: problem is that apps get updated by makers and on their site with tarball but it stays outdated on repos for a long time, so its looking like everyone should have the knowledge of handling tarball [17:10] reed, Could you generalize the fud just a little more to convince everyone. [17:10] hello, Itried to isntall ubuntu twice on different partitions andeven crearted separate /boot but after installation it alawys loads windows 7 [17:10] without any grub [17:11] I tried the chroot metoohd/live cd method [17:11] everything [17:11] reed: yea you are right bu this is not necessary on all occassions...like if you want winrar for ubuntu and when you go on their site then there is no deb or ppa available but what you get is tarball [17:11] when I installed ubuntu in past it always automatucally installed grub [17:11] why not now ? [17:12] myhero, that's my point, you don't need winrar [17:12] myhero, install unrar and all your rars will uncompress with the normal compress application from gnome/kde whatever [17:12] Hello all, is there a way through apt to upgrade to 12.10 yet? [17:13] azm, download this to a live cd, run the bootinfo summary and post the http where its at. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:14] reed: you don't need it and maybe some others too...but think in general.....i have switched from win to linux recently and i love winrar so besides i don't need it but stilli want to keep it....just feels a lil bit at home win feeling [17:14] azm, The bootscript will cut through the 20 questions and outline your setup so we can actually help. [17:15] myhero, nobody needs winrar on Ubuntu! that's my point. If it's not packaged, it's not needed because Ubuntu has its own native/better way to deal with that [17:15] myhero, I understood you switched recently, you need to learn the new way :) [17:16] RiXtEr, I don't believe so, you might ask on the development channel #ubuntu+1 [17:16] and the new way is: search for software in the software center, not on google... Ubuntu has it all [17:16] wilee-nilee, thanks. [17:16] reed: yes anyways thats the whole reason behind learning tarball [17:17] reed: winrar was just an example [17:17] myhero, tarball are *not* necessary either === david is now known as Guest78137 [17:17] myhero, you need an IRC client: xchat-gnome [17:17] reed: means ?

I'm using 12.04 on x86_64. i've been experiencing crackling sounds when playing Kerbal Space Program in wine for a while, but their quite faint compared to the roar of rocket engines and explosions, so I've not been to bothered by them. Now I'm feeding my ham radio transmitter with with soundcard generated audio and it is being transmitted along with significant crackling sounds. I've read reports of this issue on 64 bit systems [17:46] , but seen no conclusive solutions. Any ideas?

[18:03] bobweaver: i'm not quite sure, it's not my code. === onzichtbaar is now known as zippo^ [18:04] bobweaver: what I'd usually do is just ./configure; make; [18:04] Doxin, it is good to keep the build dir clean for when you want to package easy way with cmake would be to go to source dir and mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/path_were_it_installs then you can clean up with a simple rm build [18:05] Doxin, where did you get the code ? [18:05] Doxin, can I see the it ? [18:05] bobweaver: trying to compile gcc at the moment if it helps [18:05] bobweaver: so ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/mirror/languages/gcc/releases/gcc-4.7.2/gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2 [large download] [18:06] Doxin: why are you building gcc ? [18:06] What you are building gcc ? why ? [18:06] ikonia: because I can. [18:06] Doxin: why ? [18:06] excuse me i'm trying to get a quick answer about the better-than-cron services such as inetd available in ubuntu server 12.04. more likely i just want to know what's installed by default [18:06] Doxin: and you can't, that's why you're asking in here [18:06] can anyone tell me why in the heck does the following logrotate not work...Im banging my head against the table...https://gist.github.com/3821836 [18:06] ikonia: I can, I just need some help on a specific nicety [18:06] where can i put a script to run on startup? [18:06] Doxin: why are you doing this ? [18:06] running out of ideas...even when I force it by running logrotate mongodb....still the mongo file is not rotated [18:07] Doxin: gcc is pacakged for ubuntu [18:07] arrgh [18:07] Doxin, you can install from repo and sudo update-alternatives --config gcc [18:07] Doxin: you can just install the package [18:07] also i have a failure in motd- service and don't understand how to fix [18:07] ikonia: I know, [18:07] ikonia: I *want* to compile gcc [18:07] Doxin: why ?

[18:08] ikonia: I'm trying to compile gcc. [18:08] Doxin: what version of ubuntu is this ? [18:08] ikonia: 12 [18:08] Doxin: why are you trying to build gcc, to what end ? [18:09] !info gcc [18:09] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.112ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 41 kB [18:09] ikonia: for fun and for profit [18:09] Doxin: please give a real answer, I don't know why you are being so evasive [18:09] and also inet.d and someone suggested using xinetd which i've dabbled in on an old mac distro [18:09] ikonia: for the same reason I built a jet engine in my back yard. I'm not being evasive, I have no other reason than "because why not". [18:10] its a good reason. [18:10] Doxin: you're on your own then, people don't just do this for no-reason [18:10] awesome attitude [18:10] there must be something , a learning exercise, a benifit you think you may get [18:10] we need more people like ikonia on irc [18:10] I do crazy stuff for no reason also. [18:10] ikonia: WHY do you need to know this? it is in no way relevant to the answer [18:10] ikonia: everything you do is a learning experience. even reading this channel [18:11] ikonia: it has no benefit besides knowing how to do it. [18:11] Doxin, just set up the confiure file to install to where you want like a sandbox but then again this is gcc so that is hard [18:11] Doxin: did you try starting with the src deb? IIRC the gcc configure script is nasty [18:11] i get the following: [18:11] udevd [93] worker 102 terminated by signal 11 (segmentation fault) [18:11] help me after update and upgrade my OS is very very brakes, to be exact a sound! and picture! [18:11] Masduqe|Off: every configure script is nasty. I started with a source tarball [18:11] configure --prefix=/some./place [18:11] bobweaver: that's just the install dir though, isn't it? [18:11] Doxin: the documentation for building gc is on gnu.org [18:11] udevd [93] worker [102] failed while handling /devices/pnp0/00:01 [18:11] Doxin: if you are just curious, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/introduction.html walks you through building the whole toolchain, but kind of offtopic here [18:11] Doxin, correct [18:12] Doxin: if you want to do it because you can - I suggest you read this [18:12] anyone got a idea what to do with it? [18:12] trism: that's not a good idea [18:12] why do i have so much trouble with copy/paste? seems like most apps don't respond to either ^v/c nor ctrl-shift v/c [18:12] do i have to go back to the 80s and use shift-del? [18:12] trism: hmm, was hoping for a shorter answer, but thanks :P [18:13] rhizmoe: select with mouse -> press middle mouse button to paste [18:13] rhizmoe: easy enough? [18:13] Doxin: if you follow that link from trism your gcc will not be sane [18:13] Hi all. When out with my laptop I want to communicate within my office LAN as if I were there - is this what a VPN is for? [18:13] Doxin: be warned [18:13] hi all [18:13] g105b: yes === e is now known as Guest18869 [18:14] ikonia: it doesn't replace the system toolchain [18:14] Doxin, I also say that this is a good read http://developer.gnome.org/anjuta-build-tutorial/3.2/anjuta-build-tutorial.html [18:14] trism: I didn't say it did [18:14] there is also a great autotools book out there [18:14] q105b that is one of VPN's many uses [18:14] ok, so to connect to my office network via a VPN, do I need a VPN server or can I just use my office's router? [18:14] I have a question, ho is ready to help ?:) [18:14] depends how sophistocated it is [18:14] bobweaver: thanks [18:14] though auto tools is kinda off topic but it is out there and it is great [18:14] Doxin, ^^ [18:15] !help > Guest18869 [18:15] Guest18869, please see my private message [18:15] g105b a simple box which you have access to on the LAN in the office would suffice as your "server" [18:15] rhizmoe: use a clipboard manager :) [18:15] Doxin: thanks for being persistent, because now I have some more documentation to read through [18:15] Cyberspaceloa: hm? [18:16] Doxin, for what it is worth I just got done reading this http://books.google.com/books?id=HBbKghM2fGYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=autotools+book&source=bl&ots=wYIYKRhPom&sig=JveVLOxWuuGPMC5DMZM3V1Qs2Ao&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PC9rUPm7O-y30QHMk4GwDQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=autotools%20book&f=false and it was a great book !! [18:16] Gallomimia, great, so I need to install VPN server software onto this box? [18:16] anyone has a hp6910p with radeon graphics and ubuntu 12.10 installed? [18:16] bobweaver: found my answer though, thanks. [18:16] g105b: as Gallomimia implied, ssh can be rigged to do this: http://www.math.hmc.edu/computing/support/ssh/vpn/ [18:17] Doxin: I'm just sympathizing that people are acting like you're crazy or something, when you're experimenting [18:17] Doxin: however, I hope you have a spare box to mess around with this stuff [18:17] g105b: let the title be a warning though :) [18:17] Guest18869, Please address the actual problem in the form of a question, that is how the channel works. ;) [18:17] thanks for that MasterOfDisaster. saving [18:17] Cyberspaceloa, have you ever compiled gcc ? [18:18] hu anybody [18:18] hi [18:18] bobweaver: no, I can't afford to mess with my system right now [18:18] MasterOfDisaster: thanks... I've never dealt with VPN before so this is all new to me. Trouble is, in the office there may be no PCs turned on, only printers/network drives/etc (these are the devices I will want access to) [18:18] hi [18:18] bobweaver: however, I wouldn't mind messing around with it out of curiosity at a later stage [18:18] . [18:18] some network drives are capable of this capability [18:18] Cyberspaceloa: I know how to make it not break stuff :P [18:19] but the router is what you are going to need to mess with as primary. to open ports obviously [18:19] Cyberspaceloa: and a reinstall doesn't take too long anyways. [18:19] g105b: ususally you have a VPN node/server/box dedicated to provide an entry point into a remote network [18:19] some routers can VPN, some claim they can and fail miserably, and some don't even try [18:19] MasterOfDisaster: ok I understand. Maybe I would want to use the office connection as proxy? [18:19] Cyberspaceloa, yeah it is not a good idea because so many things use it. Like I had to compile 3.X the other day for HTK and lets just say that it was not the easy thing to do and HTK is still not working correctly [18:19] excuse me do you know wher i can speak armenia?) [18:19] your office router might be slightly sophisticated and only allow VPN as a client. in which case set up a box in your house to be the server [18:20] !armenia [18:20] yes [18:20] g105b: as suggested, a router capable of running a sshd can be used for this. a more sane approach would be openvpn, or something like a cisco asa vpn gateway [18:20] bobweaver: yeah, I wouldn't even attempt on a machine that I need to consistently work [18:20] but that might route all traffic from the office into the house. in which case you can get fired for breaking corporate network security [18:20] g105b: depending, of course, on intended usage [18:20] if you can't keep computers on in the office, consider using one of these: www.raspberrypi.com [18:20] ineedguru, I am sure that there is a channel what it is on the other hand IDK [18:21] !ar | ineedguru [18:21] ineedguru: La comunidad local de Argentina se puede encontrar en #ubuntu-ar y en su canal de offtopic: #ubuntu-ar-cafe [18:21] Gallomimia: I have one of those!

[18:22] Does Ubuntu support Intel i7 3930K ? [18:22] it uses low power and people won't notice it as a computer that's on to be shut down [18:22] g105b: yes [18:23] Gallomimia, http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/cases [18:23] Gallomimia: it's not very fast [18:23] Gallomimia: well, compared to a "normal" desktop [18:23] Gallomimia: it doesn't cost anything to try though [18:23] who cares all he wants it for is vpn routing [18:23] aim sory one more. where i can read good book for linux administration? but whit many practical exemples?

[18:24] ineedguru, there are books in the softwarecenter === zippo^ is now known as erkan^ [18:24] I'll start playing with my PI right away - all I've been using it for is playing video on my home TV, waiting for something useful to come up ... here it is :) [18:24] ineedguru, http://www.tldp.org [18:24] Question, I am trying to create a bootable win xp usb to use through Virtual Box. Can you use usb's to boot in Virtual Box? [18:25] thank you jackdup [18:25] ineedguru: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/ [18:25] wildc4rd, can you mount the image from the usb on a loop and then press f12 when booting virtual box ? [18:26] bobweaver are you talking to me? [18:26] sorry willdabeast [18:26] willdabeast, yeah [18:27] bobweaver - well as of now i have just copied the files from a windows xp install disk over to a NTFS Boot flagged usb, seeing if that will work too [18:27] willdabeast, i think you can do all that, i would use unetbootin to make your usb tho [18:27] willdabeast, then tell your VM to boot off the USB [18:28] fluitfries VM doesn't have a usb boot option I don't think, as far as the settings go. I don't know about F12 yet during boot [18:28] willdabeast, for USB support you need to make an empty filter in the machine as well [18:28] willdabeast, i've booted virtualbox off lots of stuff, i'd be surprised if it could not do that. [18:29] fluitfries yea I got that done, will unetbootin allow me to create a windows xp install? I thought it was only for linux installs [18:29] also when you boot your VM there is a funtion key to press for a boot-time menu as well [18:29] willdabeast, yes, it claims to do so. [18:29] !armenia [18:29] willdabeast, that is why I say plug the usb in and mount the iso then set the cd drive in the VBox to be the usb mounted iso ? maybe ? then On boot you can press f12 or you can set in settings [18:29] If he's using the OSE-version of Virtualbox, there is no USB option i believe. [18:30] !am | ineedguru [18:30] CyberGabber, yea, that may be true. [18:30] I don't think its ose... how do I check [18:30] !am | ineedguru [18:30] =) [18:31] bobweaver, he shouldn't need to fool vbox, it should be capable of usb boot. [18:31] !en | bobweaver: ineedguru stop guessing, there seems to be no 'armenia' channel [18:31] bobweaver: ineedguru stop guessing, there seems to be no 'armenia' channel: Certain Ubuntu IRC channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [18:31] at least not an ubuntu related [18:31] hey all I followed a guide on stackexchange to secure sftp and chroot it. but now I can't ssh in as anyone [18:31] xangua, yeah I was looking and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLiveChatSupport says am is it [18:31] luckily I have webmin so I can still edit the config [18:31] So how do I check if it is OSE? [18:31] willdabeast, also remember that you don't need to boot via USB to install a VM, you can simply use the ISO file... [18:32] willdabeast: did you install it from ubuntu repository¿ [18:32] willdabeast, probably in the about menu, or look at the package you used for install [18:32] fluitfries The problem is getting the iso file, I can't find a program to create an iso file in linux [18:32] xangua and fluitfries - I installed it through the software center [18:33] willdabeast: brasero does it [18:33] willdabeast, have ou tried k3B ? [18:33] you * [18:33] willdabeast, lol, well there are plenty of ways, yea brasero will do it from your cd or dvd [18:33] willdabeast: then it is, go to the virtualbox web and download the propietary there [18:33] in pretty much any burner program you tell it the destination is "image file" [18:33] willdabeast: http://tuxarena.blogspot.nl/2009/03/4-ways-to-create-cddvd-iso-images-in.html [18:33] * fluitfries nods to crimsonmane [18:34] fluitfries haha well thats handy, bobweaver no, crimsonmane ill try that xangua alright thanks :) [18:34] willdabeast: K3b will dot the job ;-) [18:34] will it not work by just copying the cd boot files to an ntfs boot usb? [18:35] willdabeast, k3b is powerful [18:35] willdabeast, no, you need boot records, flags, certain filesystem types sometimes... etc [18:35] willda definitely use unetbootin === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [18:35] fluitfries, i gparted it as ntfs and set a boot flag, but i guess i need bootrecords too? === FrankZZ` is now known as FrankZZ [18:36] i just made one with unetbootin and i needed to use fat32 when i made it in linux, ntfs wouldnt work [18:36] willdabeast, i think unetbootin will take care of that question for you is what i'm saying [18:37] i created a mbr part scheme, then fat32 partition, then unetbootin with my ISO, done. [18:37] * Gallomimia hopes ineedguru will start the armenia channel for ubuntu and linux afficianados [18:37] fluitfries gotcha thanks. And thanks everyone :) love using this channel.

[18:57] azm, seem u r installed grub on wrong place [18:58] Hi. Is there a way on Intel Atom chips to artificially increase the screen resolution (which was possible in Windows via a registry setting change)? [18:58] tozen, but I have only dev/sda [18:58] how do Ifind where is mbt then [18:58] sda1 is windows ,sda2 is ubuntu [18:58] simple [18:58] hy all [18:58] azm do u have flash drive with live cd? [18:58] Hi [18:59] tozen, life cd [18:59] azm WAIT now! [19:00] Anyone know if it's possible to use display downscaling for artificially higher resolutions on Ubuntu? [19:00] tozen, sorry ? [19:00] is there any equivalent of rpm -V in Ubuntu ? [19:00] azm, load ur live cd, them tipe in terminal: sudo fdisk -l and check where is ur ubunru installed [19:01] rpm -V? [19:01] What's that supposed to do?

[19:41] jrib http://www.mediafire.com/?wvbro63epspp2b4 [19:41] KyleYankan: you need something like $ aoss ./multimon [19:41] gordonjcp: Yeah, but no luck. I also tried using aplay to play .wav's, and /dev/random with no noise. [19:42] nawledgebeats: where did you find that link... [19:42] jrib: ? [19:42] jrib: thanx [19:42] Can anyone help me? I am having crashes [19:42] ner0x: aren't you asking about where cron logs? [19:42] L3mce: oh yes its in the cameras folder, adn then dcim.... [19:42] Siegel-: while in the directory where you see the thumbnail, press ctrl + L and paste the path at the top which appears [19:42] jrib: Yes. [19:42] Siegel-, can you import all the files using gPhoto ? check your cables it sounds like a lose connection between the camera and computer [19:42] L3mce: ok [19:42] I cant find xenstat library (xenstat.h) even though Xen and libxen-dev are both installed -- any idea? [19:42] L3mce: gphoto2://[usb:001,025]/DCIM/100CANON [19:43] ner0x: so why do you want to know...? :) (cron logs to /var/log/messages by default, but it also mails you output from your jobs as long as you've installed an mta) [19:43] I am guessing it doesnt like that path with those brackets [19:43] BinaryMaster: ok, ive tried two different cables. [19:43] cihhan: that file isn't anywhere in the repositories [19:43] L3mce: i see. what do i do about that [19:43] jrib: A job is failing to run. I'm under the assumping it's a PATH issue.

[19:43] Siegel-: ^ [19:44] ner0x: redirect stdout and stderr somewhere and read it. Or just fix the path issues and see if it works [19:44] L3mce: dunno how to do that [19:44] right now from the login screen i chose ubuntu [19:44] llutz: what is that supposed to do? [19:44] Siegel-, how old is the camera [19:44] jrib: Doing that now. Thanks. [19:44] but i have the option for Gnome [19:44] BinaryMaster: im not sure. its a friends. im guessing around 2 years [19:44] luist: read "man lsb_release" - print distribution-specific information === milind is now known as abyss42 [19:45] KyleYankan: any luck yet?

[19:45] nawledgebeats: if you pastebin the contents of the install.sh, I'll try to make sure it's sane. I don't know offhand how you install gnome shell themes [19:45] luist: or you can use: cat /etc/lsb-release [19:45] cant i just parse uname output and check for ubuntu? [19:45] Siegel-, you may just have to take it file by file. If this is something you will be doing often you may want to run to walmart or like store and buy a memory card reader for like $15 [19:45] luist: "lsb_release -i" [19:45] I am trying to control a number of different ubuntu machines, automatically, I figure I can use https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html to keep them updated, but what if I wanted to install a new package on all of them? [19:45] KyleYankan: right, what are you trying to get multimon to do? [19:46] L3mce: do i have another file manager? [19:46] jrib: okay thats what ill do one sec [19:46] gordonjcp: It is an older laptop, and I've never used the osund card, just modprobed the module, and turned up the audio in alsamixer. I want multimon to deocde DTMF tones. [19:46] jrib: so, what shoud i do? [19:46] jrib: can i email it [19:46] i need to make some changes in the xentop [19:46] Siegel-: you can open multiple instances I mean [19:46] KyleYankan: like I said, $ aoss ./multimon [19:46] Siegel-, ctrl+N for a new window [19:46] KyleYankan: assuming you're in the directory where the multimon binary is [19:46] L3mce: it would be the same manager. or do you mean a separate window ? like go into a different folder in a separate window? and then what? drag and drop a file into there? [19:47] jrib: i need to make some changes in xentop, and it requires xenstat library. So, do you have any suggestions? [19:47] BinaryMaster: yes this opens up the home folder [19:47] so... Siegel-... open your home directories "Pictures" directory for instance, and in another window open your camera and drag and drop a file, then double click the file locally. [19:47] L3mce: ok let me try [19:47] Siegel-, now make a temp folder and drag and drop the files [19:47] BinaryMaster: ok [19:48] gordonjcp: no luck. It launches multimon, and failes with an open:permission denied. So I do a sudo aoss multimon, and it executes, and waits for some tones to decode- with no return if I send a DTMF tones [19:48] hi all [19:48] jrib: http://pastebin.com/3zWALqNm [19:48] has anyone gotten M-audio 1010LT soundcard to work with Ubuntu 12.04 [19:49] rollitup: I've got it to work with older Ubuntus [19:49] KyleYankan: check the permissions for your various sound devices [19:49] BinaryMaster: L3mce ok this works. now this is my problem: it takes a couple of minutes for all the files to load and only then will it even let me drag and drop. why may this be? [19:49] KyleYankan: that *should* work, but add the SCOPE decoder and check you're actually getting audio in [19:49] gordonjcp: terminal only [19:50] jrib: this just sucks bc i thought i was good with computers. . . [19:50] KyleYankan: can you try a different decoder? [19:50] Siegel-, Camera maybe older then you thought or the computer is and is using usb 1.0 [19:50] gordonjcp: I haven't been able to find any [19:50] jrib: lol [19:50] rollitup: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [19:50] Siegel-: because you are viewing it in thumbnail mode... It has to read all of your very large picture files and then convert then to thumbs, nd then display them [19:50] gordonjcp: how do i check permissions for audio devices ? [19:50] BinaryMaster: what is usb 1.0? my computer is from 2005 [19:51] Jrib: any luck? [19:51] cihhan: I don't [19:51] gordonjcp: Is there a cheap and drity way I can make sure the sound card is even working? [19:51] cihhan: is xentop provided by ubuntu repositories? [19:51] Siegel-, You can look into turning of thumbnail mode though not sure how myself [19:51] KyleYankan: arecord and see if there's anything in the file? [19:51] ActionParsnip: its here http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9ca724d57508bba56a48531b33d61377429a875b [19:51] nawledgebeats: I don't recommend you run this script as it copies things system-wide. I'd suggest you only install it to your HOME [19:52] jrib: yeah, im using it [19:52] rollitup: what is the problem you're having? [19:52] i have no sound [19:52] how exactly do i do that? [19:52] i also disabled the onboard sound driver from the bios as suggested in some similar issue threads [19:52] jrib: right-click, run? [19:52] gordonjcp: unable to create IPC semaphore [19:53] jrib: on terminal command [19:53] i turned up the volume for all output channels in alsa mixer [19:53] jrib: or* [19:53] how can I share internet connection between host and guest in virtualbox? (using NAT interface) [19:53] also have installed Mudita24 [19:53] Having an issue with UNetbootin, the usb drive is not being found on the dropdown list. The usb is mounted and has an ntfs filesystem. [19:53] cihhan: so just do « apt-get source PACKAGE_FOR_XENTOP » and « sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGE_FOR_XENTOP » [19:53] BinaryMaster: thats i guess in "view", but is it possible that all this trouble is only because of my kind of "old" hardware and that it just takes a bit time because the connection isnt ideal? i mean, after a couple of minutes all the files display and when i drag 'n drop, it works fine [19:53] willdabeast, is it mounted [19:53] KyleYankan: ? [19:53] wilee-nilee yes [19:53] gordonjcp: I did sudo arecord, and the test.wav file does show data [19:54] wilee-nilee do i need to set a boot flag? [19:54] willdabeast, whats the partition format? [19:54] so it's getting something in then [19:54] HI ALL! its very important to me. Who knew Mark Shuttleworth gay or not? [19:54] wilee-nilee ntfs with nothing on it [19:54] KyleYankan: try enabling ZVEI and whistling at it? [19:54] how can if force one of my soundcards to use 48kHz sample rate. that rate is supported but is not the default rate. i've tried editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf but that had no effect. can i do it with an ioctl? in a script? [19:54] KyleYankan: I'm kind of running out of ideas here... [19:54] please? [19:54] if I open a browser in the guest I cannot surfing the web [19:54] willdabeast, hmm fat 32 is what you want I believe [19:55] jrib: ok let me check that :) thanks a lot :) [19:55] wilee-nilee is it because win xp is older? [19:55] nawledgebeats: you should be able to just copy the theme to ~/.themes and the icons to ~/.icons [19:55] jrib: sry for all the questions im just super noob [19:55] its the playback (audio output) rate i need to set [19:55] gordonjcp: Heh, I do always have the weird problems [19:55] ohhh [19:55] g0hww: asound.conf maybe? [19:55] mac_12: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [19:55] Who knew Mark personally? [19:55] jrib: can you give me a terminal command for that? [19:55] willdabeast, ISO are generally run a fat32 and with unetbootin [19:55] nawledgebeats: some google hits suggest that gnome-tweak-tool may also be able to help you with this. I don't know about it [19:55] what is that? [19:56] nawledgebeats: if you don't want to use the terminal, you can just copy using the gui [19:56] i tried gnome tweak tool [19:56] wilee-nilee gotcha thanks :) you're always helpful. [19:56] gordonjcp: No such luck with ZVEI. :-/ [19:56] may I type this in the guest?

[19:56] nawledgebeats: what do you see inside the archive you downloaded? [19:56] #ubuntu-ru [19:56] yes [19:56] gordonjcp, i've tried it in .asoundrc which didn't help, but as i understand it that performs rate conversion and doesn't actually set the device rate [19:56] mac_12: ping, a defacto connectivity tester on all OSes. [19:56] jrib: icons etc [19:56] rollitup, open a terminal , sudo modprobe snd_ice1712 , then either reboot or do sudo alsa force-reload , if theres no output from the reload , then reboot [19:56] nawledgebeats: remember, be *specific* [19:57] nawledgebeats: I am not behind your shoulder :) [19:57] jrib: haha [19:57] wilee-nilee is your rank in the forum linked to your irc rank? [19:57] I'll try that BluesKaj [19:57] Iva22, those questions some offensive by the way are for #ubuntu-offtopic [19:57] ok I'm gonna try [19:57] rollitup: have you installed envy24control? [19:57] willdabeast, Not that I know of, I'm not even active on the forum, but support it. [19:58] jrib: lets see "gnome-shell" "icons" "themes" install and uninstall .sh files [19:58] no i have installed mudita24 which is similar to that [19:58] hi, I'm just about to upgrade a Hardy server to Precise and I get a lot of "No candidate ver:" messages, libffi4 being an example. would I be correct in assuming that this is simply because those packages don't exist in Precise? [19:58] KyleYankan: tbh the only way to sanity is to rewrite multimon so it doesn't require OSS [19:58] KyleYankan: OSS went obsolete 15 years ago [19:58] mac_12: in a terminal run: ping -c 4 8.8.8.8 [19:58] brb will try BluesKaj suggestions now [19:58] wilee-nilee I saw your name on a few forum posts thats why I asked, you seemed active.

[19:58] willdabeast, I have over 8000 posts I believe I was for some time. [19:58] gordonjcp: same username? [19:58] KyleYankan: this *should* work [19:58] KenSharp: you will need to upgrade to Lucid first, then to precise [19:59] KyleYankan: yup [19:59] KyleYankan: get it working on your local machine first [19:59] will do gordonjcp [19:59] KenSharp: you can't upgrade directly from hardy to precise, you need to go through lucid [19:59] KenSharp: remember to run a full backup first [19:59] jrib: you said earlier to copy and paste the icons and themes folder, but to where would i copy them to? [19:59] nawledgebeats: ~/.themes and ~/.icons/ though I'm confused by the fact that you have gnome-shell and themes. So let me google some [19:59] I receive a msg saying network not found [19:59] MasterOfDisaster: i was talking about keyboard copy/paste, middle button or a clipboard manager are both annoying [20:00] mac_12: ok, does the interface have an IP address? [20:00] Jrib: mos def thank you. [20:00] sorry, I meant Lucid! It was originally a Hardy installation... [20:00] ActionParsnip, I have backed up :) [20:00] KyleYankan: I'm using a modified version of it to decode EEA 5-tone signalling [20:00] KenSharp: good lad === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [20:00] KyleYankan: it *does* work [20:01] No candidate ver: mysql-server-5.0 [20:01] No candidate ver: mysql-server-5.1 [20:01] I'm using virtualbox. I set up a network adapter named NAT within the settings but it does not show nothing about IP [20:01] I don't even have them installed.... [20:02] who knew? [20:03] mac_12: I recommend a bridged network, you will get an IP from your home router on the system [20:03] ok I'm gonna try [20:03] nawledgebeats: alright, first, create ~/.icons and ~/.themes directories if they don't already exist. Let me know when you've done that [20:03] oh, forgot to mention, the program that is having playback sample rate issues is using PortAudio [20:03] ubuntu-ops [20:04] #ubuntu-ops [20:04] g0hww: what's the program? [20:04] Iva22: Stop that, this is a support channel [20:04] Actionparsnip: thank you [20:04] wspr - a ham radio program [20:04] built from source, not from repo [20:04] rollitup: right okay, I haven't tried mudita and I haven't got a desktop to put my 1010LT into just now [20:04] rollitup, also you can add the line,' options snd_ice1712 index=0 ', to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, with root permissions , then save the file . [20:04] back BluesKaj I tried what you suggested also rebooted but still no sound [20:04] what i just enter on second cjanel what u want?!?!? [20:04] g0hww: I did wonder if that was a callsign [20:04] * gordonjcp <- MM0YEQ [20:05] so, my glitchy audio is getting transmitted all over the world. not a good advert :( [20:05] ok BluesKaj [20:05] Jrib: sry but i dont know how to create those directories [20:05] g0hww: tbh I think your best bet is to stop pulse and let wspr get at the sound card directly [20:05] Who can help? [20:06] nawledgebeats: go to nautilus (the file browser, then view -> show hidden files). Make sure you are in your HOME directory (~ means your $HOME, which is usually /home/username). Then you can create a new directory and name it ".icons". Do the same for ".themes" [20:06] rollitup: can I see the output of sudo aplay -l [20:06] !help [20:06] 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 [20:06] help! [20:06] Iva22: what is the issue? [20:06] gordonjcp, can i stop pulse from using that card - i'd like to keep the rest of the sound system working on the laptop [20:06] I added the line do i need to reboot again BluesKaj ? [20:06] g0hww: I think so, but I'm not an expert; I tend to stop pulse by fairly brutal and unapproved means [20:06] rollitup, I also have a m-audio card , which works well , mine uses the snd_ice1724 driver [20:07] rollitup, no , try the also force-reload again [20:07] g0hww: did you use the .deb or build from source?

Trying to test an input striper in Drupal [20:10] *stripper [20:10] i had got it to work prior to formatting this machine with the help of ActionParsnip in April but i did not document the steps that got it working, careless me [20:10] yeah, found that before. build was painless this time, and it works pretty well, even on 64 bit, but both that and fldigi give me crackling audio with this signalink-usb device at 44.1kHz, which is its default. all is good at 48kHz. i've proven that the glitching is down to sample rate in gnuradio, but can't seem to get wspr running with 48k even though that is what it assumes [20:10] Hi, just installed 12.04 and seem to be having the strangest problems with my wireless. I have only one external usb wireless adapter, and yet lsusb shows two: http://codepad.org/U6GLCEof Also, I keep losing internet access.

[20:11] wethepeople:suggest me one [20:11] jrib: so where exactly again sry im not getting it [20:11] no not at all [20:11] gordonjcp, yep, just read your 'review' of wspr above. can't argue with that [20:11] nawledgebeats: do you have nautilus open? [20:11] g0hww: want another example? Xastir [20:11] jrib: im in the home folder [20:11] themindbenders: It might be on hulu... in which case you can use huludesktop [20:11] g0hww: want another example? Quisk [20:11] rollitup, ok do you have pavucontrol installed ? [20:12] nawledgebeats: did you show hidden files? (so you see files that start with '.'?) [20:12] jrib: view> show hidden folders [20:12] themindbenders, you on a laptop or desktop? [20:12] jrib: yes. [20:12] nawledgebeats: do you have a .icons directory? [20:12] g0hww: soundmodem, linrad, fldigi... [20:12] wethepeople:laptop lenovo y500 [20:12] Jrib: no [20:12] gordonjcp, god yes. i had to hack that myself for a faster track update speed so i could plot ADS-B data. its a mess [20:12] no i have Mudita24 installed which is near to the M-Audio mixer interface that we get on windows [20:12] there, i just got disconnected like i mentioned in my question :( [20:12] g0hww: fldigi isn't too bad but it's horribly crippled by using fltk [20:12] nawledgebeats: right click on some white space there, and create a new folder. Name it ".icons" [20:12] g0hww: I gave up on it and started writing my own APRS tracker [20:12] gordonjcp, but there is also tons of shite code that isn't ham radio related too [20:13] jrib: does it need to be .icon or ~.icon etc? [20:13] nawledgebeats: it's ".icons" [20:13] jrib: sweet one sec [20:13] g0hww: yeah, there's commercial radio software like GPS tracking software for Mototrbo, pretty much any commercial radio programming tools, pretty much any dispatcher software... [20:14] themindbenders: http://www.prlog.org/11444190-fashiontv-launches-its-247-stream-on-youtube.html they stream 24/7 on youtube... just... watch that... [20:14] at least gnuradio isn't crap [20:14] jrib: so i made two ".icons" and ".theme" [20:14] L3mce:thanx buddy [20:14] Any can help please? [20:15] g0hww: it's like there's some unwritten rule that any software to do with radio has to be written in Microsoft Visual Cobol for OS/2 95 by some guy who died ten years ago, with the GUI designed by a colour-blind orang-utan with an unrivalled collection of cortical lesions [20:15] Mark is Gay?

[20:16] jrib: accordingly [20:16] I'm backeria\ [20:16] gordonjcp, yeah. at least the author of UI-View had the decency to take his shit source code to the grave with him [20:16] nawledgebeats: ".themes", not ".theme" [20:16] g0hww: one thing I'd love to get time to work on is a UI chat plugin for libpurple [20:16] g0hww: "How Hard Can It Be?" [20:16] jrib: right on i was worried about that [20:16] themindbenders, newegg.com [20:17] g0hww: get your mheard list and all right there in your chat proggie, integrated into the desktop [20:17] nawledgebeats: so now go to the archive you downloaded and copy the "MixtureD" directory inside the "icons" directory in your archive to ~/.icons. So in the end you should have ~/.icons/MixtureD [20:17] wethepeople:u are best [20:18] gordonjcp, i wrote an AX.25 adapter for the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group's DTN2 reference implementation. That isn't shit code. But AFAIK, only me and my mate use it.

[20:18] How do I find out the drive letter of my cd rom. I am trying to install the second disk of a windows game and it asks for a cd drive letter. The Home Folder is no help. [20:18] you know what, I've had enough of "family friendly" [20:19] the whole "family friendly" thing makes this by far the most hostile and unpleasant channel I've ever been in [20:19] Jrib: and same with the themes correct? [20:19] nawledgebeats: right [20:19] this channel feels unsafe and unfriendly because of it [20:19] wethepeople:what i have to search here? [20:20] Jrib: done and done. [20:20] gordonjcp, will have a dabble with aprsmap later [20:20] rollitup, try a reboot , but I suspect your card is bypassing alsa in favour of the Mudita24 [20:20] nawledgebeats: that should be it [20:20] Well, here is my question if anyone wants to take a stab at it - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12697597/how-do-i-fill-ubuntu-clipboard-with-ms-word-output [20:20] g0hww: let me know how you get on; it is known to be a bit crappy but basically functional [20:21] 12.04 Unity (3D) launcher doesn't reveal itself when set to auto-hide.

I have the mic turned al lthe way up, as well as the input device (Scanner) [20:23] nawledgebeats: that's ok, you just have to type what I said in a terminal and give me the output [20:23] elijah, And if you select and hit ctlr-c in ubuntu it doesn't copy? === lsj8925 is now known as lsj8924 [20:23] jrib: youre definitely helping though [20:23] witakr: I don't have Word [20:24] witakr: I just need some demo content I can fill my cb with.

What inside of .icons now?

I want to paste as if I just copied richly formatted text right out of MS word. [20:31] elijah: why are you asking about microsoft products here? [20:31] genii-around: I just did a bit of googleing and found I apparently don't have debian-keyring even installed, don't know how I fat fingered that but I'm fixing as we speak [20:31] jrib: something happened :D [20:31] jrib:https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8e3KqDn-cik/UGtPI_RaOOI/AAAAAAAAAjo/T8hUShAdwpI/h120/Screenshot+from+2012-10-02+13%3A31%3A20.png [20:32] nawledgebeats: that's impossible to read :x [20:32] hahaha [20:32] jrib:http://pastebin.com/cvkFg8sq [20:32] CommKav: typically it is /dev/sr0 [20:33] nawledgebeats: that looks right [20:33] jrib: lol so now what??? [20:33] if i do Ubuntu on bootcamp how hard is it to fix the compatability issues? [20:33] nawledgebeats: go to gnome shell and change the theme settings [20:33] thanx [20:33] shaDykhan: what compatibility issues? [20:34] jrib: lemme give that a try [20:34] Hi, does anybody know if there are older versions of adobe flash player for linux available? I'm looking to install version 9 or 10 [20:34] hi, is 12.10 going to include mono out of the box? [20:34] !12.10 | OSreX [20:34] OSreX: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [20:34] CommKav: frankly the easiest way would be to: cat /var/log/dmesg | egrep '(CD|DVD)' [20:34] cs278: none of the version 9s are supported now and Lucid is EOL in April next year [20:34] thanks jrib :) [20:34] BluesKaj: still no sucess [20:34] cs278: I recommend a clean install or Precise [20:34] jrib im assming there will be compatibility issues [20:34] shaDykhan: :x [20:34] CommKav: or perhaps grep -E if you have no egrep [20:35] shaDykhan: you're just talking about installing on an intel-mac, yes? [20:35] yes on another partition [20:35] !mac | shaDykhan [20:35] shaDykhan: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [20:35] jrib: sry but how do i "go to gnome shell" [20:35] thax [20:35] thanks* [20:35] jrib: is that what im choosing when i log in? [20:35] nawledgebeats: I don't know :) I think that "gnome" session at your login screen puts you into it [20:35] rollitup, I'm not familiar with Mudita24 , does it replace alsa as the default sound server [20:36] jrib: right on thank you so much for the help [20:36] jrib: :D ill try that then come back with what happened [20:36] jrib: thanks again. [20:37] Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *chat" [20:37] i am not sure [20:37] Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *chat* [20:37] but from the last time i had got it to working the levels on mudita were working so i don't know what that means [20:37] Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list ubuntu [20:37] is openJDK or Java good? [20:38] Hey guys I'm new at ubuntu and I was wondering why my downloaded items keeps ending as a .tar file. How would i extract it and end up with a application [20:38] Example usage: /msg alis list ubuntu [20:38] camaro, stop that [20:38] sorry === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [20:38] L3mce: It is more to do with how do I get some output from one program into Ubuntu's clipboard, it happens to be MS is involved. [20:38] I didn't realize what I was doing until now... :( [20:38] erkan^: do you want Oracle java? [20:39] Hey guys I'm new at ubuntu and I was wondering why my downloaded items keeps ending as a .tar file. How would i extract it and end up with a application [20:39] TheRealZeus: what are yuo downloading? [20:39] i don't care, ActionParsnip [20:39] TheRealZeus: .tar is a type of archive file just like .zip [20:39] erkan^: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [20:39] TheRealZeus: extract it and do whatever you need to do with its contents [20:39] rollitup, do you have alsa-base alsa-utils installed [20:39] TheRealZeus: most things you will need to install are in software centre [20:40] no i do not have it installed [20:40] how do i check that ? [20:40] nevermind [20:40] ah thx === florin is now known as Guest75212 [20:40] elijah: you are asking about formatting from an MS product. MSWord does not run on ubuntu. If you are running a vm, depending on the vm, you will need extra bits... for instance in virtualbox you will need guest additions to carry over clipboarding etc... however the format output... that is outside of the scope of support here. [20:40] erkan^: Thers the open sourced java *iced tea* then the Oracle java. [20:40] is PPA good, ActionParsnip ? [20:40] or dangerous? [20:40] that is right, dr [20:40] erkan^: its great [20:40] rollitup, type alsamixer in the terminal [20:40] L3mce: Good to know, thanks [20:41] is there any way to be able to view 2 conkys in a dual monitor setup? [20:41] jrib: ya so nothing happened but at least that was kinda a crash course on terminal use thanks for all the help/ [20:41] what did u mean by do watever you need to do with its contents [20:41] nawledgebeats: you still need to select your themes [20:41] TheRealZeus: we have no idea whats in the arvhivces.. so you read the docs on whatever it is.. and do whats needed. [20:41] nawledgebeats: that just makes them available [20:41] TheRealZeus: well, the archive could contain anything, it could be source or it could be binaries [20:41] I can install ubuntu to my pendrive just like I will do to my hdd ? [20:41] jrib; i dont know how to do that [20:42] chicognu: yes. I do that all the time. [20:42] yes i have alsamixer [20:42] jrib: i tried using the gnome tweak tool "advanced settings" [20:42] nawledgebeats: apparently you can use gnome-tweak-tool. You might also check for some sort of "appearance properties" program or similar [20:43] jrib: ya all the options there, were there before we did what we did. [20:43] TheRealZeus: what is the file you have? [20:43] nawledgebeats: even for the icons? [20:43] mhm [20:44] jrib: yes. [20:44] nawledgebeats: weird. Try some other themes I suppose [20:45] Is there a way to load my .bashrc really quick before a cron job? [20:45] jrib: OHH it is there!!! [20:45] ner0x: 'source .bashrc' as part of a script [20:45] jrib: it just hasnt changed the icons on the home bar. [20:46] Hello everyone, I own a Macbook Pro 8,1 and am thinkning of installing Ubuntu 12.04 as my only operating system. I haven't managed to find any informantion on the hardware support for this install [20:46] dr_willis: It's perl, not bash. system( 'source ~/.bashrc' ); ? [20:46] Does anyone know of this information? [20:46] nawledgebeats: there are two aspects to it: the icons and the theme itself [20:46] ner0x: if you cron as your user, is the environment from ~/.bashrc not used already? [20:46] ner0x: make cron run a shell script that sources it then runs the perl stuff. [20:46] ner0x: also you may need to log out and back in (or restart the bar somehow) [20:46] ActionParsnip: thats what i was thinking also.. ;) [20:47] ner0x: I'd imagine you'd need it if you cron'd as root [20:47] Thanks for the help guys! [20:47] MacUser_, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [20:47] seems strange to source .bashrc in a cron script though [20:49] OerHeks I have found that page, but it only has information on 11.10 and it is my understand that 12.04 should have better hardware support [20:49] jrib: thank you so much everything is working great :D [20:49] jrib: ill be back im sure. [20:51] I'll just have to absolute url the actual perl. [20:51] MacUser_, i don't own a mac, i found this howto, maybe any help > http://albert.rierol.net/ubuntu-12.04-LTS-macbook-pro.html [20:51] rollitup, Mudita24 , is it totally necessary for your purposes ? [20:51] i feel yes coz it was working when the last time i had this card working [20:52] any idea why all videos swap R with G colors at playback :s or yuv messup not really sure but colors are wrong for sure [20:52] violetina: you are refering to Youtube videos? [20:52] nvidia drivers [20:52] dr_willis: no not the smurf bug ;) [20:52] violetina: ;) [20:53] dr_willis: avi and mpg both act the same btw [20:53] violetina: an avi is a container that could have the same codec as the mpg. [20:53] MacUser_: one of our users has one fully functional except perhaps bluetooth on 1004. Nic needs some help prior to boot... and several params set. [20:53] violetina: as a test you could convert one of the problem vids to some other codecs. ;) [20:54] MacUser_: I expect 1204 would be even smoother. [20:54] dr_willis: i tried a vob (mpg2) and some xvid files [20:54] and BluesKaj from what i read that mudita 24 is http://code.google.com/p/mudita24/ [20:55] violetina: havent noticed any issues here. but i am on 12.10 :) with its own issues.. [20:55] L3mce I see, but I would need some kind of guide for setting parameters as I'm not that computer savay [20:55] L3mce if ubuntu 12.04 needed it [20:56] hmm not my computer btw , how do i see the ubuntu version? [20:56] ah found it 12.04 lts [20:57] violetina: cat /etc/lsb-release ? [20:58] hmm seems in xbmc it is fine , tho mplayer vlc and totem all messup :x [20:58] MacUser_: his wiki is specific to our project and may not at all be relevant to 1204. 1204 MAY work out of the box, but older guides, will almost certainly show you how to make what does not in 1204 work. [20:59] join #php [21:00] must be something funky with libav or ffmpeg not sure what ubuntu uses , guess xbmc not uses the system libav [21:02] anyway i can now watch it , will try to find out more about this tomorrow tho i really dont know anything about ubuntu (i'm a gentoo user ;) ) [21:02] how do i send free international sms? [21:02] Does anyone know which preprocessor file i should include when i want to use the getch() in C? [21:02] <_Tristan> apt-get install wine wants to install absolutelyEverything:i386. What do? [21:03] btw anyway to run none composite X ? [21:03] gello [21:03] tuxatcom: getch is Dos/Windows specific, and usually found in conio.h [21:03] hello [21:04] I am from spain [21:04] hablais español?+ [21:04] ola gordon [21:04] xine, Is there a similar function like getch() in linux? [21:04] compiz acting funky on some apps esp kdenlive , or is there a way to edit the compiz settings? [21:05] So I am currently booting a Win XP usb in virtualbox, but there is no where to recognize the usb during boot. Any suggestions? [21:05] tuxatcom: you can use the ncurses library to get something like getch() [21:05] tuxatcom: there are replacements for all aspects of it, but not a single function that does everything. what exactly do you need? [21:05] hi, i have a problem: i have some servers that shares some directory with samba and they worked well until last week. Now any pc can't see these shares but if I use "smbclient -L " or if I enter in Nautilus "smb://" I can see and access them. [21:06] gordonjcp, i tired the ncureses.h but i got an error. [21:06] tuxatcom: getchar in stdio.h ( in c++ ) covers quite a bit [21:06] tuxatcom: bummer [21:07] tuxatcom: lacking a crystal ball, I cannot help you with this error [21:07] Anyone know how to boot from usb in virtualbox? [21:07] xine, I include stdio.h. I mean a function that can do same tasks like the getch(). [21:08] BluesKaj: i also tried adding this line options snd-ice1712 model=delta1010LT [21:08] I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and VirtualBox to run a RedHat 5 virtual environment. I am connecting from a windows laptop to the RedHat VM to make a VNC session. The problem is that Ubuntu detects that there is no monitor attached and resets the resolution from my preference to 800x600. How can I disable this automatic update of the resolution? [21:08] tuxatcom: read what I wrote. there is no single function doing _exactly_ the same. so what do you use getch for? [21:08] like it has been posted on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309187 [21:08] when is 12.10 releases? [21:08] btw what was the line that you had suggested me to add can't remember it [21:08] Hello all [21:09] would like to request some help with a Gobi2000 modem [21:09] gordonjcp, sorry this is the error when i try to use ncurses.h.

[21:43] veryhappy: run: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [21:43] PLUS.... why don't debian packages allow you to set the owner/perms on a file? You have to put chmod commands in the postinst file. [21:43] how do i private message a person? [21:43] BluesKaj: i get this E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. [21:43] jimbo_: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [21:43] ok I removed. [21:43] now.. [21:43] what can I do to have different users..use ftp ? [21:43] hi [21:43] Kheo: apt-get also supports a purge, and reinstall option.... [21:44] ActionParsnip: precise [21:44] I duno all commands.. [21:44] Kheo: clarify what you mean.. you install a ftp server, the users can ftp in normally... [21:44] how do i install Microsoft fonts in Ubuntu? [21:44] rollitup, ok install pavucontrol [21:44] no [21:44] they cant. [21:44] so..help me please [21:44] jimbo_: try: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf > /dev/null [21:44] Kheo: then you need to configure whatever ftp server you are uysing to allow it. [21:44] Kheo: fyi, purge removes the system settings for the package (BUT not settings in users home directories!) [21:44] jimbo_: sudo modprobe -r ath9k; sudo modprobe ath9k [21:45] I can't use root user to login on FTP LOL [21:45] ^^ [21:45] after an upgrade some time ago a dedicated space on right side of my touchpad stopped working, scrolling in general works, but a bit on the left from a scroll space, and space itself seems to be disabled, does anyone know how to fix this? [21:45] LOL [21:45] Kheo: That would be very STUPID to allow root to login directly to ftp. [21:45] yes but..I don't have any users yet.. [21:45] Kheo: you shouldn't be using root user at all, the root account is supposed to be locked. [21:45] BluesKaj: I installed pavucontrol [21:45] Kheo: and theres no direct logging in as root normally on ubuntu [21:46] Kheo: so... make a user? [21:46] why ftp server do not let me login with my user ?!??!?! [21:46] wtf [21:46] Kheo: you just said you had no users... [21:46] Kheo: you just said you had no users... [21:46] ActionParsnip: Command was executed and "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" was inserted. [21:46] * zykotick9 ponders sending "root" password across wide open TCP used by FTP :(.. [21:46] I HAVE MY user... [21:46] OMFG [21:46] veryhappy: cool, give it a reboot [21:46] ActionParsnip: Ok, thank you, see you right back. [21:47] someone know the server ftp for download ubuntu? [21:47] rollitup, ok now set up the inputs and outputs you normally use , but do it in pavucontrol , alt+f2 pavucontrol , will bring it up [21:47] so no help.. [21:47] thanks for no help. [21:47] Kheo: you are giving conflicting information. [21:47] Kheo: given the lack of actual information youve given us.. it seems you need to be more specific [21:47] ActionParsnip: permission denied, even with sudo [21:47] Costeelation: torrent is SO much better. faster / with error control! [21:47] Kheo: #1 - what ftp server are you using. [21:47] vsftpd [21:48] I can't use it.. [21:48] jimbo_: at what point do you get the permission denied [21:48] he do not let me do anything.. [21:48] You just said you uninstalled it.. did you reinstall it? [21:48] no users != a user... and did you read the link I gave? [21:48] YES [21:48] Kheo: why not install openssh-server and use SFTP [21:48] zykotick9: :( then no ther is ftp? [21:48] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-creating-ftp-account-with-vsftpds.html Kheo [21:48] Kheo: don't use ftp [21:48] BluesKaj: it still does not work [21:48] OMFG [21:48] !!!!!!!! [21:48] Kheo: especially not if you don't know how to configure it [21:48] LOL / [21:48] zykotick9: i will want probe [21:48] Kheo: using things like OMFG and !!!. tend to get you ignored... [21:48] ...omfg [21:48] stop with the hystrionics Kheo. [21:48] Kheo: ftp sucks, and pretty much guarantees your computer will get broken into [21:48] stop using that acronym here as well. [21:49] Kheo: i suggest a aread of the ftp server docs you are using.. have a nice day. [21:49] so nobody can help me using vsftpd ? [21:49] Kheo: you read its docs/guides yet? thats where to begin. [21:49] yes [21:49] ActionParsnip: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf > /dev/null [21:49] Not if you are unable/unwilling to read the help I have put here twice now [21:49] I read all. [21:49] Costeelation: search for your local mirror in a web browser would be my suggestion. [21:49] and its irc channel. [21:49] so nobody can help me using vsftpd ? [21:49] Kheo: i doubt if you have. [21:49] I read them all. [21:49] so nobody can help me using vsftpd ? [21:49] Kheo: third time... WHAT ERROR DO YOU GET FOLLOWING THIS http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-creating-ftp-account-with-vsftpds.html [21:49] OMG Ubuntu!

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:50] Kheo: the best help I can give is "do not use ftp" [21:50] I said my problem.

[22:00] wlcosta: please stop cursing. [22:00] sudo apt-get install vsftpd [22:00] You do need to restart the vsftp server after editing its cnfig file i belive. [22:00] k... [22:00] I did not edit anything [22:00] It was.. [22:01] with set with YES [22:01] Kheo, is listen_ipv4 = YES too? [22:01] let me check [22:01] I don't have that. [22:02] Kheo, please try this: /etc/init.d/xinetd start [22:02] what's that ? [22:02] Kheo: nano that same config file again... do you have a pam_service_name entry? [22:02] yes L3mce I have. [22:02] why is the maximum entropy as shown by `cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail` only 3968 bytes [22:02] It's pointed to vsftpd [22:02] is it =vsftpd Kheo? [22:02] k [22:03] on all my other machines it goes up to 4096 [22:03] yes [22:03] wlcosta: what's that ? [22:03] xinetd [22:03] ? [22:03] Kheo, don't do that, I think L3mce has a better suggestion. [22:03] does anyone in here know something about wwan hardware support? [22:04] I don't know why my FTP Server stop working correctly..I used with my user..and now I can't access It. [22:04] :( [22:04] shall be about wwan mobile broadband, please help jimbo_ in that point. thank you [22:04] I was trying to do a user to access my ftp..and I do not succed. [22:04] Kheo, I'm leaving now. My last instructions are: enable vsftpd in xinetd --> nano /etc/xinetd.d/ and changing disabled = no and then running xinetd --> /etc/init.d/xinetd start [22:05] wlcosta: ok but It has no bussiness with xinetd [22:05] wlcosta: xinetd is SO outdated. doesn't vsftp run as it's own deamon? [it might, but i'd be surprised] [22:05] so..any suggestions ? [22:05] zykotick9, I dunno. That solved this problem with Gentoo users. [22:06] wlcosta: ubuntu != gentoo [22:06] OpenSuse * [22:06] ActionPa1snip: Sound still doesn't run properly. [22:06] zykotick9, yes, but vsftpd are the same. [22:06] a lot of these ubuntu help pages are outdated [22:06] so no help ? [22:06] Kheo: try hashing out that listen=yes (put # in front) and rcvsftpd stop and rcxinetd restart and try another ftp start [22:07] Kheo, i need to leave now. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. [22:07] Good night everybody. [22:07] a_b0y tell it in #ubuntu-offtopic abd point to the pages that need updates [22:07] L3mce: where ? [22:07] Kheo: If you continue to act as if nobody is trying to help you, I will stop. Your original question was how to add users.

[22:52] Kheo: seems a lot of people cant use vsftp - it seems broken with PAM issues. from what ive been googling. Vsftp is a bit broken. [22:53] l3mce, fix grub? you mean fix mbr [22:54] or both [22:54] dr_willis: the even better answer being, "don't use ftp" ;) [22:55] zykotick9: yep. but i was trying to get vsftp going in 12.10 even.. it seems to definatly still have PAM issues. did some looking and saw its had issues since a few releases back. [22:55] does anyone remember what the solution was to the bug that made ubuntu 10.04 freeze up [22:55] dr_willis: i 100% believe your issue. kinda nice to feel that way ;) [22:56] dr_willis: s/issue/bug/ ;) [22:57] zykotick9: ;) its so secure it cant be used! [22:57] Hi, in Ubuntu, using the chmod command how would you change *directory permission only* within a folder that contains hundreds of directories and files (mixed)? [22:58] WeThePeople: when you install windows... it will take over MBR... THEN you will have to boot live, chroot into the ubuntu install, and grub-install then update-grub [22:58] FireStorms to be sure, create a folder with some random files in it, change the folders chmod and see if the files changed too [22:58] hello, I have a laptop with an embedded intel video chip. My webcam works in Windows 7, but is very choppy in Unbuntu 12.04. I am using cheese and have followed the instructions for choppy video in the cheese faq. Anyone have any other thoughts? [22:58] * FireStorms tabs [22:59] L3mce: i think grub-fix or something like that is recommended these days. chroot instructions are NO LONGER on the grub2 wiki page :(.. [22:59] !fixgrub [22:59] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [22:59] evening all :) Can someone help me figure something out please? I installed the ubuntu desktop / unity last night, and I'm in KDE right now - and something that I installed last night, is working on the KDE desktop, but it's not a KDE feature. [23:00] Okey doke... Dunno about that. THanks for the update zykotick9. I can help you chroot WeThePeople, or you should probably read those links instead [23:00] FireStorms: you'll need to use: find -t d to find the folders, then chmod that [23:00] Basically, when I get near to a scrollbar, I get what looks like a rocker switch with 2 arrows which allows me to fast scroll through whatever is on the bar, and it follows the mouse. I want to know what it is, if anyone has any clues please. [23:00] BarkingFish, Did you include gnome in your OS install by accident? [23:01] MonkeyDust, yes, everything did change [23:01] ActionPa1snip, thanks I'll look into that :) [23:01] mcoffin, I have Kubuntu - I installed the ubuntu desktop last night to make some gnome apps work that didn't on Kubuntu alone [23:02] BarkingFish: IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to try asking in #kubuntu [23:02] Does anyone know of a good speech to text program for UBUNTU? [23:02] ok, thanks [23:02] zykotick9, the reason I'm asking here is what I have is not part of kubuntu :) [23:02] FireStorms: the default behavior for chmod is to just change permissions for a single argument [23:02] zykotick9: ha! :) Fixed it with my leet-google-fu skills.. well found a forum post.. [23:02] BarkingFish, Sorry I'm no expert on window environments, that just popped in to my head so I thought I'd try and help :D [23:03] BarkingFish: i realize that. but, unity people would have no idea what's in kde. i figure a kde user must have run into this issue before. [23:03] no probs, thanks anyway - I'll try and get a screenshot of it to show you what I'm seeing - which might help. [23:03] FireStorms: you'd need to use the -R option to change recursively, which would change permissions for all subfolders and files [23:03] dr_willis: did it involve hashing the listen thing in config? [23:03] Cyberspaceloa, fss how many names begin with cyber. I'm using it with the -R flag, even then? [23:03] dr_willis: nice ;) [23:03] L3mce: nope.. was utterly trivial.. and weird.... here it is.. [23:03] in /etc/vsftpd.conf: [23:03] yeah zykotick9 - this is part of the unity install / ubuntu desktop though, so I thought I'd come to you first [23:03] pam_service_name=vsftpd -> pam_service_name=ftp [23:03] l3mce, will i need internet access to install update grub? [23:03] I was close... lol [23:03] ahh bit of miscommunication [23:03] L3mce: changed that one thing.. and it started working.. from vsftpd to ftp... [23:03] no WeThePeople [23:04] L3mce: seems pam wants the service to be named ftp. not vsftpd i guess... [23:04] well its logged now in the channel logs for Ever! [23:04] FireStorms: if you're using the -R flag, it is going to change everything in all the subdirectories as well [23:04] MisterMobile try festival [23:04] BarkingFish: best of luck man. you might get an answer here, patience is a good thing. [23:05] l3mce, all right one problem though, gparted for some reason shows all of my hdd as unallocated. [23:05] uh... WeThePeople... thats not good. [23:05] Cyberspaceloa, as ActionPa1snip said, I might need to use the find command in conjunction with chmod [23:05] yep, as soon as this screenshot decides to upload, I will be able to show you the problem rather than just describe it in a vague manner :P [23:06] FireStorms: are you trying to change just a single directory? [23:06] WeThePeople: make sure you are looking at the correct drive... and... did you reinstall windows already? [23:06] l3mce, nope havent touch anything yet, i only have one drive to select.. lol [23:06] Cyberspaceloa, lol no, there's many nested directories... I got 1/3 way though in 20 minuites and quit [23:07] Is there a ubottu command that will point me towards the great list of pros and cons for gnome and plasma? [23:07] I HAVE HEARD OF FESTIVAL, H, how good is it compared to Dragon naturally speaking?? [23:07] hello, I have a laptop with an embedded intel video chip. My webcam works in Windows 7, but is very choppy in Unbuntu 12.04. I am using cheese and have followed the instructions for choppy video in the cheese faq. Anyone have any other thoughts? [23:07] I can't seem to find it [23:07] FireStorms: how about you tell me exactly what you're trying to do [23:07] WeThePeople: what does sudo fdisk -l look lik [23:07] FireStorms: are you trying to change all the directories permissions? [23:07] Cyberspaceloa, ok [23:08] Cyberspaceloa, I have a web directory, the permissions of dirs need changing to 500 and file 400 [23:08] files* [23:08] Firestorms: cd to the parent directory [23:08] mcoffin: don't expect much KDE info in the default ubottu factoids... but specifically, not that I know of. i believe "/msg ubottu brain" might link to a url with all the factoids if you want to search. [23:08] I'm having an issue with Ubuntu at boot. Stuck in an infinite loop. [23:08] FireStorms: find . -type d -execdir chmod 500 '{}' \; [23:09] MisterMobile: IMO nothing is as good as dragon... but festival is as good as you will get native to linux. [23:09] FireStorms: find . -type f -execdir chmod 400 '{}' \; [23:09] yes? [23:09] FireStorms: those two commands should do it, but test them first in a trivial environment [23:09] FireStorms: that should be executed IN the directory [23:10] zykotick9, thanks again. You're seriously trying harder than 99% of people who get payed to do stuff like this. [23:10] Doing so lower can blow stuff up [23:10] I shall try now, thanks [23:10] L3mce: Yes he needs to cd to the parent directory as I said [23:10] * FireStorms tabs === bschaefer_ is now known as bschaefer [23:10] l3mce, img of gparted>>> http://imgh.us/gparted.jpg paste.ubuntu of fdisk -l >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257040/ [23:10] sorry Cyberspaceloa... was just making sure that was understood. [23:10] I'm getting nouveau Failed to idle cahnnel 1 [23:11] L3mce: no prob, it's a good idea [23:11] WeThePeople: well the fdisk shows we are in good shape. [23:11] AndroUser: blacklist the nouveau driver, may help [23:11] How is that done? [23:12] mcoffin: thanks man, that was really nice to say. [23:12] WeThePeople: that is 93 gb... whatever it is... it aint your hard drive... [23:12] L3mce -> I keep asking for help installing Dragon through line or cross over, but no one has the answer... [23:12] MisterMobile: that's probably because it may not be possible. You already stated you've tried with wine and crossover [23:12] MisterMobile: if anyone has an idea, they'll pipe in [23:12] WeThePeople: I see now... that is the root of the drive... drop it down to the other partitions. [23:12] and it worked + I learned something new [23:13] MisterMobile: Nor do I have an answer... I am all linux... I simply live without it. [23:13] Cyberspaceloa, L3mce, ActionPa1snip, MonkeyDust I thank you [23:13] can someone tell me why i have to type Nomodeset [23:13] * FireStorms goodbye [23:13] zykotick9, anyone else who can help - the thing I'm pointing to in this screenshot is what I'm trying to identify from unity/gdm > http://imgur.com/YRim6 [23:13] jrib:? [23:14] Jrib: you still here? [23:14] l3mce, thats the only one i can select in the drop down menu [23:14] nawledgebeats: the answer will depend on your GPU chipset, how it addresses the frame buffer and the driver you use. [23:14] Yeah, I'm trying to get away from Windows myself. This is my first time I wasn't sure how the chat system works === dan__ is now known as Guest26302 [23:14] hmm [23:14] BarkingFish: that looks like the scroll bar to me (i don't use unity or kde, so have no idea) good luck. [23:15] WeThePeople: I am not sure I understand why you are there frankly... but... as I said... your hard drive is fine, and we will just be using the command line. [23:15] l3mce: i dont know what graphics card i have but how can i solve this issue [23:15] I'm having issues with my gpu as well. I used Nomodeset to instal ubuntu, but now I'm stuck in an error loop upon booting. [23:15] nawledgebeats: you will add it to your boot configuration so you dont have to manually type it. [23:15] !nomodeset | nawledgebeats [23:15] nawledgebeats: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:16] nawledgebeats: do you have nvidia/ati? those require nomodeset usually. see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for more details. [23:16] Question [23:16] ubottu: can i save it so nomodeset is always there? [23:16] nawledgebeats: fyi "lspci | grep -i vga" should show you graphics card (unless you use hybrid) [23:16] ok zykotick9 - normally my scrollbar is just a gray bar with an arrow at each end for rapid up and down, and the actual bar in the middle. This has got to be a GDM / Unity thing [23:16] I will try and locate it. [23:16] Thanks [23:16] nawledgebeats: yes... [23:16] nawledgebeats: edit /etc/default/grub to make nomodeset permanent [23:16] l3mce, how long will you be on #ubuntu for?, i have to check i have all the software off of Winxp yet [23:17] nawledgebeats: fyi you need to run "sudo update-grug" after changing the grub file mentioned above to apply the settings. [23:17] WeThePeople: I have nothing on deck, but emergencies crop up. No promises, but I should be around. [23:17] nawledgebeats: sorry typo "sudo update-grub" [23:17] ok [23:17] thank you thank you. [23:18] how can I uninstall windows application that work under linux ?? [23:19] ahmedipa: you are going to have to give more detail to that question. [23:19] zy: is this right??? http://pastebin.com/UE7pSqh3 [23:20] ahmedipa: many windows applications work under "Wine" which is an emulator - or also try "virtualbox" which creates a virtual machine in a window on your desk- you can install Windows XP or other operating systems on it and have full access to it whilst you are on Ubuntu. [23:20] L3mce: I installed itunes application throw wine and I want to uninstall it ? how can I do that ? [23:20] ahmedipa: run: uninstaller [23:20] I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with an alternative window manager (herbstluftwm), and it is mostly fine, but certain things do not work. Most notably, the power button. [23:20] zykotick9: is this right??? [23:20] nawledgebeats: me? see "/msg ubottu tab" for info on TABing in irc. sorry i don't visit pastebin.com. see "/msg ubottu paste" for an alternative i will go to. [23:21] ahmedipa: if yuo only have itunes installed, just delete the ~/.wine folder [23:21] darn [23:21] ahmedipa: WARNING deleting .wine will delete EVERYTHING you've installed! [23:21] zykotick9: hence the word 'only' [23:21] so I have no way to suspend with this window manager aside from issuing the command `sudo pm-suspend`. [23:22] how does one raise sytem volume via terminal? [23:22] zykotick9: How can I delete only itunes [23:22] L3mce: can you view this and see if its correct? http://pastebin.com/UE7pSqh3 [23:23] f00lhardy: [23:23] http://askubuntu.com/questions/97936/terminal-command-to-set-audio-volume [23:23] alsamixer [23:23] ahmedipa: run the uninstaller in the itunes folder [23:23] (silly enter key) [23:23] Can you change Nomodeset from the bootmenu? I can't get in to the desktop [23:23] oh ok, thanks hmmwhatsthisdo [23:23] ninjaaron: one way is to open terminal and type sudo halt or else use "sudo shutdown -h now" both will shut your system down safely- to reboot just type "reboot" [23:23] jhgjhg: yes. use e [23:23] Ah. Thanks zykotick9 [23:24] Tigerboy: Yes, that is what I'm doing currently doing, but I was looking for a way to do it without having to type my password every time I want to shudown or suspend. [23:24] ahmedipa: I've seen videos on youtube how to get itunes on Ubuntu with wine but I don't buy apple rubbish so can't say if they actually work [23:25] Ninjaaron: can I know the wm you are using? [23:25] ahmedipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUrqcD4W_M [23:25] Tigerboy: Herbstluftwm [23:27] ninjaaron: are you using arch? [23:27] Tigerboy: I've managed to get some of my Gnome stuff working with `gnome-settings-daemon`, but other things don't seem to be working. [23:27] L3top: no, 12.04 LTS [23:27] Ninjaaron: have not used that -- do you have all the gnome packages installed that might help [23:27] L3top: fyi EVERYTHING self-respecting gnu/linux distro "should" require root-privs to shutdown/suspend. [23:28] can anyone help with getting my wwan up and going? [23:28] Pretty sure. I didn't delete Unity or anything (I still use it sometimes, depending on the task). [23:28] ninjaaron: there is a lovely shutdown button in the screenlets manager (add package screenlets) [23:28] !anyone | jimbo_ [23:28] jimbo_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. === cesar_ is now known as Guest65409 [23:29] * L3top isn't aware of the issue, have only seen herb on arch before... that was the reason I asked [23:29] ?join python [23:29] rbik: /join #python [23:29] #?join python [23:29] Ninjaaron: it will appear on the desktop-- go into screenlets manager once installed and add all the extra screenlets packages -- then find the shutdown button- highlight it and tick the start and startup boxes on the left [23:30] L3top: thanks! [23:30] L3top: it's in the Debian testing and unstable repos, and hence, in Ubuntu. [23:30] ubottu: ...and if I don't know how to ask the right question? [23:30] jimbo_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:30] Was just curious ninjaaron... now considering taking a look... [23:30] Ninjaaron: one instance will appear of the button on your desktop-- just move it to your preferred spot [23:30] !details | jimbo_ [23:30] jimbo_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:30] L3top: I get it through a PPA, however, to get the latest version. [23:32] ninjaaron: if you would like to give me your impression in #ubuntu-offtopic I would be very interested to hear. [23:32] Tigerboy: will give it a try. === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [23:32] whats a /home/user dir chmoded to ? [23:33] How do I uninstall xubuntu-desktop/xfce? [23:33] Ninjaaron: screenlets manager will appear on your launchbar when you run it -- just right click it to gain features [23:33] homecable: I do not understand your question as it sits. [23:33] Sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop, will that be sufficient? [23:33] what chmod is drwxr-xr-x [23:34] pr0metheu5: i believe the second command is simply "apt-get autoremove" [23:34] prooz: and your sudo with && wouldn't apply the the 2nd command. [23:34] Oh sorry homecable... I somehow read that chmod as chroot... one second. [23:34] pr0metheu5: see above. [23:34] is there a way to get Recordmydesktop to capture my audio without me turning up my speakers for my mic to pick it up [23:35] is it harmful to restart the X server via Alt-PrntScrn-K ? [23:35] user123abc_: i wouldn't if you can avoid it. [23:35] zykotick9, could you explain? [23:36] zykotick9, or are you just arguing from a common sense perspective? [23:36] ssfdre38: you can use Jack demon -- little tricky to set up [23:36] user123abc_: probably leaves most of your processes hanging, where a more normal quit would be more graceful. === kv102t is now known as kv102t__ [23:36] user123abc_: i think of alt-sysrq-k as -9 but worse... [23:37] zykotick9, is it really implemented via kill -9? I guess it should be, but can anyone confirm? [23:37] user123abc_: alt-sysrq-k != the old ctrl+alt+backspace IMO [23:37] homecable: the dir itself is 755, the content within is everywhere from 600 to 775 [23:38] user123abc_: the sysrq is deeper then -9 in many ways! [23:38] zykotick9, I'd be curious to know how [23:38] user123abc_: "deeper" in this case meaning "worse" ;) [23:38] I'm attempting to upgrade Ubuntu from 10.04 & getting a ""No valid mirror found" error, could anyone assist please: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EtCcRETH [23:38] chocha [23:39] us this, ETHIC - www.theync.com. there's an answer [23:39] user123abc_: sysrq can do CRAZY stuff, at almost the kernel level! that's why it's used for the ultimate-last-ditch-effort restart. [23:39] zykotick9, but yeah, to repeat, do you have more ideas about how it's actually implemented? or do you just mean that the timing of the signal is unfortunate [23:39] !sysrq [23:39] hello [23:39] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [23:39] good morning [23:40] user123abc_: could run: killall -u $USER instead [23:40] Hello everyone. When I attach my PS/2 mouse, there's nothing on dmesg. Also, the mouse doesn't work even if I restart the PC. What gives? [23:40] ActionPa1snip, hmm, I'm tempted to try that out right now [23:40] sssilver: is the ps2 port enabled in BIOS? [23:40] ActionPa1snip: I believe so [23:40] user123abc_: sysrq is a different thing then signals. it's, in my words only, "deeper" [23:40] sssilver: hm. It's not hotplug, so you do have to reboot. [23:41] sssilver: how do you know the mouse is not working after reboot? [23:41] muelli: the cursor won't react to my mouse movements? [23:41] sssilver: you should check [23:41] l3mce, ok all set to partition :O [23:41] zykotick9, I'm trying to look up what syscall it might be using [23:42] user123abc_: alt+sysrq+k is fine, if "sudo service lightdm restart" has failed already. [23:42] zykotick9, do you happen to know? [23:42] anyone know how I can make Eclipse run faster? :/ I'm already using Oracle's Java [23:42] user123abc_: no idea [23:42] sssilver: I guess it's a statement, not a question, despite the question mark. can you pastebin us the output of "xinput"? And maybe "dmesg"? [23:42] zykotick9, nah, I guess I was hoping that I could just use it as a "too lazy to press the log-out button" type of thing [23:42] zykotick9, but as you say, that would be unwise [23:42] So I've heard that enabling tcp delayed ACK can help with samba lag. Does anyone know how to enable it on oneric? I've seen net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack listed as the variable for sysctl, but that path doesn't exist for me under /proc/sys [23:42] user123abc_: i wouldn't recommend it ;) [23:43] how do i delete "web apps" [23:43] how can you stop the update manager from popping up? [23:43] like, i have 2 amazon shortcuts and an omgubuntu shortcuts [23:43] Smackbook: you want it too. [23:43] zykotick9: no i dont [23:43] Hi, there's any deniable encryption filesystem, what it's not: truecrypt. And there's not too old? [23:44] KRomeleoN: i cant even get any to show up here. ;) the browser dialog asks.. but they never appear [23:44] Kvothe_: You are going to have to work harder on your syntax. I do not understand that. === tiagoscd_ is now known as tiagoscd [23:45] L3top, sorry, something like, rubberhose [23:45] l3top, is this l3mce?? [23:45] Yes. [23:45] dr_wills its annoying hehe [23:45] I don't know how to copy the input of xinput without a mouse :'( === anonymous is now known as Guest12546 [23:45] Was I on as l3mce earlier? I shouldn't have been [23:45] I'm attempting to upgrade Ubuntu from 10.04 & getting a ""No valid mirror found" error, could anyone assist please: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EtCcRETH [23:45] l3top, can you help with command line to delete windows xp? [23:45] sssilver_: use pastebinit, i.e. xinput | pastebinit [23:45] zykotick9, hmm, there doesn't seem to be a "murder_death_all()" syscall [23:46] Kvothe_, if deniabe=reliable: encfs + cryptkeeper [23:46] user123abc_: i'm sure there is ;) [23:46] anyone know how I can make Eclipse run faster? :/ I'm already using Oracle's Java [23:46] f00dMonsta: more RAM [23:46] it's Java. [23:46] muelli: I have 8Gb of Ram [23:46] f00dMonsta: more [23:47] apparently this http://lifehacker.com/5295449/disable-ubuntus-annoying-update-manager-popup doesnt work anymore because the structure of the gconf-folder no longer has an auto_launch option to uncheck [23:47] muelli: it's not even using 200mb according the eclipse's heap thingy [23:47] hello [23:47] Can I somehow give my current install more space, using gparted or such? [23:47] pr0metheu5: yes [23:47] WeThePeople: You could just format the partition, you could zero it out with dd, you could wipe it, you could shred it... I am not sure what you are trying to do or why... I need to know why you want to "delete" windows rather than simply install over it... [23:47] oh, cool [23:48] muelli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257079/ [23:48] solocommand: you can put options in /etc/sysctl.conf [23:48] ah! simple: sudo apt-get remove update-manager [23:48] like, i have 2 amazon shortcuts and an omgubuntu shortcuts [23:48] how do i delete "web apps" [23:48] whodathunk [23:48] sssilver_: Is this your mouse? "KYE 4D device Ergomedia " [23:48] !amazon | KRomeleoN [23:48] you delete web apps [23:49] KRomeleoN, better ask in #ubuntu+1 for QQ 12.10 support. === milind is now known as abyss42 [23:49] muelli: it could be, it's a very old Genius [23:49] l3top, how would i install over winxp, just set boot order to boot from cd and go from there? [23:49] muelli: so, KYE sounds about right [23:49] KRomeleoN: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping. [23:49] KRomeleoN: can you not right click and remove? [23:50] sssilver_: so you don't know yet whether this is your device? Can you find out easily? [23:50] muelli: here's dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257080/ [23:50] WeThePeople: this is really straying outside of ubuntu support, but... just put in the windows dvd and do a fresh install. It will only see the first partition, just dont let it overwrite and use the whole drive. [23:51] anyone around [23:51] muelli: looks like that is it [23:51] ok [23:51] hm sssilver_. Looks good to me: "mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice". Looks like the kernel recognises your device. [23:51] but your cursor on the screen doesn't move when you move the mouse, sssilver_? [23:52] WethePeople: just simply create new partitions("something else" option during partition install)- ext4 is a good format to use and at the bottom of the window where you delete and create partitions is the boot up drive choice pulldown- that is where the boot will go. [23:52] no muelli [23:52] muelli: I tried another ancient PS/2 mouse, it didn't work either [23:52] ActionPa1snip: I'm currently testing with the TCP_NODELAY socket option in the smb config; I could put it in the sysctl conf but if it's not a valid variable for sysctl, I doubt it will do anything :/ [23:52] muelli: my old Compaq mouse [23:52] im on gnome 3.4 [23:52] 3.6 rather [23:52] Wethepeople: be sure to format all the partitions you need at least root / and swap -- good idea to have a separate /home and /tmp [23:52] ccannot right click and remove [23:52] question = i have 2 servers im building dell 2950 ... my question is why would i need two network controlers ... just wondering ... i have quite a few ideas what i could do with the second one but i am wondering what the second one was intended for ... any ideas [23:52] L3top: I have a question. It seems like the common advice is to leave unused space for ubuntu in setting up a dual boot machine [23:53] sssilver_: to copy from xterm/urxvt term i highlight the text i want to copy, and leaving it highlighted i click my scroll wheel to paste. [23:53] sssilver_: hm. Can you pastebin "ls /dev/input"? [23:53] L3top: However, the automated tool that comes with the vanilla distro refuses to detect unused hard drive space [23:53] Cyberspaceloa: in general no... he already has a windows AND an ubuntu install, and must do the required every X months windows reinstall. [23:53] Cyberspaceloa, that's fine, (when doing the partition part of the ubuntu install, you'll have to choose manual-- 2 new partitions-- 1 ext4 for "/" and 1 for swap) [23:53] Cyberspaceloa: it sees 'unallocated' space last time i tried it. [23:53] muelli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257089/ [23:54] dr_willis: does it really? That's interesting [23:54] Cyberspaceloa: so in his circumstance, he needs to leave his existing install alone. Generally it is easier just to use the whole drive for windows and resize from ubuntu install. [23:54] Cyberspaceloa: but i tend to manually configure such things for total controll. :) plus i tend to have linux totally on its own hard drive. [23:54] hm sssilver_. I would have expected "mouse0" to show up. Can you "cat /dev/input/mice", move the mouse and tell us whether you see anything funny in the terminal..? [23:54] Cyberspaceloa, please don't invent um.. "vanilla distro". That sounds outright silly what you mean here [23:54] dr_willis: I'm the same way, myself. That's why I was surprised at the problems some have been having [23:54] sssilver_: maybe sudo it. [23:54] Cyberspaceloa: ive resized windows and left half the HD unallocated many a time and the installer would use the unallocated space. making a swap and a / [23:55] muelli: maybe tail -f ? [23:55] jagginess: it generally refers to the default tools and packages installation. I didn't "invent" the term. [23:55] sssilver_: nah. better cat. It's more raw -.- [23:55] Cyberspaceloa: part of the issue can be that new windows installs may use 4 primary partions.. and thus limit any options [23:55] Cyberspaceloa, gparted live cd also does a nice job of resizing ntfs non-destructively [23:55] dr_willis: how about fresh large capacity drives? I have always probs with them and gparted [23:55] sssilver_: you can "reset" your terminal if it's messed up afterwards. Let's hope it will be, because that'd be a good sign! [23:55] dr_willis: fresh = new never partitioned [23:55] muelli: nothing [23:55] Cyberspaceloa, you did.. there's no such thing as a vanilla distro, but there is a "base system" for every linux that's more or less the same (bash, etc) [23:56] muelli: blankness, I pushed all the buttons on it too [23:56] L3top: Had no real issues with new 3TB i bought the other day. I think gparted insisted i use GPT for it. [23:56] sssilver_: hm. weird then. Just to double check: You do move the mouse while the "cat" is running, right? [23:56] jagginess:I'm not speaking of the GNU tools and kernel, obviously [23:56] muelli: sure [23:56] Cyberspaceloa, it's not obvious. What are you talking about then? [23:56] -_- [23:57] thanks so much for staying with me on this by the way, muelli [23:57] good news dr_willis. Thanks. I am afk for 20 min if wethepeople comes calling [23:57] sssilver_: Hm. I am running out of ideas then. Your kernel seems to recognize the mouse fine. It seems to me as if the mouse would just not report anything back to your computer. But it's weird, because mice are not too complicated... [23:57] dr_willis, gpt definitely for 3 tb drive [23:57] dr_willis, L3top: thanks for responding. I haven't dual booted in a long time. If I pitch in here I just want to be informed [23:57] muelli: it's not even a laser mouse [23:58] sssilver_: there is one thing though in your dmesg: "i8042: PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp" [23:58] Cyberspaceloa: best $100 i ever spent was for a 128GB SSD for my Linux side of this dual boot system. ;) [23:58] lol must have been a pretty dumb question ... [23:58] sssilver_: try to boot with that boot option. Do you know how to do that? [23:58] muelli: edit grub.conf? [23:58] muelli: or the ubuntu people use higher level tools? [23:58] sssilver_: hm. yeah, but doing it during boot is probably simpler and less invading. [23:58] sssilver_: grub.conf no. /etc/default/grub maybe? [23:59] sssilver_: you would add it to the proper line in /etc/default/grub or test by typing it into the grub menu for a one time test. [23:59] zykotick9: where I come from, it'd be /boot/grub/grub.conf :)) [23:59] sssilver_: if you come from grub1 that makes sense. [23:59] you do not edit grub.conf directly on ubuntu.
