sssilver_ | zykotick9: Gentoo actually | 00:00 |
zykotick9 | dr_willis: s/on ubuntu/on grub2/ | 00:00 |
Cyberspaceloa | just to prove I'm not "making it all up" | 00:00 |
dr_willis | grub1 used menu.lst i thought.. | 00:00 |
dr_willis | been ages since i last used grub1 ;P | 00:00 |
zykotick9 | dr_willis: lol, it does ;) | 00:00 |
jagginess | Cyberspaceloa, there's no official title with the word "vanilla" in it.. same thing with "chocolate".. | 00:01 |
zykotick9 | grub.conf only stays until the next grub-update is run (any kernel updates) so it's silly to edit. | 00:01 |
choct155 | has anyone had problems with 12.04 LTS booting consistently on ASUS machines? I often get stuck on the purple screen and have not yet located a remedy that works | 00:01 |
Cyberspaceloa | jagginess: I didn't invent it. | 00:02 |
Cyberspaceloa | :) | 00:02 |
jagginess | Cyberspaceloa, there's no vanilla distro. | 00:02 |
jagginess | -_- | 00:02 |
jagginess | just ask the question | 00:02 |
Cyberspaceloa | lol | 00:02 |
Hatori | vanilla distro? What is it? | 00:02 |
dr_willis | choct155: asus makes a lot of differnt machines... | 00:02 |
dr_willis | Hatori: vanilla is analous to the term 'generic' or 'standard' | 00:03 |
dr_willis | vanilla ubuntu = 'a default install of ubuntu with no extra stuff added' | 00:03 |
jagginess | its some noobs out there wanting to distinguish between X-Ubuntu to Ubuntu... it's not an official title of anything | 00:03 |
jagginess | commonly people use "vanilla" in kernel compiling dialog | 00:03 |
WeThePeople | is the grub the same for all linux distros?? | 00:03 |
* dr_willis goes to have some Apple Pie and Vanilla Ice Cream | 00:04 |
Cyberspaceloa | ha | 00:04 |
dr_willis | WeThePeople: some use grub1 some use grub2. | 00:04 |
Hatori | jagginess, i think you're right | 00:04 |
WeThePeople | dr_willis, besides that | 00:04 |
* Cyberspaceloa goes off to find a notary to make "Vanilla Ubuntu" *official* | 00:04 |
dr_willis | WeThePeople: theres nothing stopping a disrto from doing weird stuff with grub | 00:04 |
jagginess | well ubuntu.. should be called "CHOCOLATE DEBIAN" | 00:05 |
L3top | WeThePeople: you are using grub2. | 00:05 |
* dr_willis likes Butter Pecan. | 00:05 |
jagginess | so it makes no more sense to bring up un-official titles. | 00:05 |
WeThePeople | l3top, yes | 00:05 |
zykotick9 | jagginess: ubuntu shouldn't be called anything-debian or debian-anything... | 00:05 |
Cyberspaceloa | jagginess: I agree with zykotick9, you should stick with the official terminology | 00:06 |
WeThePeople | l3top, you said earlier that all i need to do when the fresh copy of winxp is install is repair the grub, what about the mbr do i need to do anything there? | 00:06 |
Hatori | thats different things but with same core :d | 00:06 |
* jagginess remarks on the trending mentality of previous marks made by the advocates of "vanilla". | 00:06 |
sisook | hi ya'll, im wondering if some one could help me with apt-get install-ing into a virtualenv | 00:06 |
Hatori | !ot | 00:07 |
ubottu | #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! | 00:07 |
choct155 | fair point, i am trying to find the model number (new to linux) | 00:07 |
L3top | WeThePeople: grub lives in MBR... they are the same animal. | 00:07 |
* jagginess thinks Cyberspaceloa is trolling | 00:07 |
Hatori | sisook what you mean with virtualenv? | 00:07 |
WeThePeople | l3top, ok, can i use a diff. live cd distro to repair lucid? | 00:07 |
WeThePeople | like 11.10 | 00:07 |
zykotick9 | L3top: grub "lives in MBR & /boot/grub" actually ;) grub in MBR only does nothin'. | 00:08 |
bobweaver | Hello there I am trying to set up a new partition and have read about them on the wiki. But I think that I have to do something different then I am use to. Here is a screen shot of gparted http://imagebin.org/230698 I would like to make that big blank space for 12.04 but seems like I can not because I get error and something about exstended partitions ,,, I am lost thanks for you time and let me know if you would like a paste of something | 00:08 |
sisook | @Hatori i'm on a VM and using a python isolated env (virtualenv) | 00:08 |
L3top | WeThePeople: yes... you will mount your linux partition, chroot into it after binding dev and a couple of other things for good measure that are not likely needed, but I am a slave to method, and run two simple commands. | 00:08 |
ActionPa1snip | bobweaver: well yeah, you have 3 primary partitions and an extended partition | 00:09 |
=== luist_ is now known as luist |
L3top | WeThePeople: zykotick9 is correct... I was using shorthand to answer your question. Yes... you can use 1110. | 00:09 |
ActionPa1snip | bobweaver: thats the max you can have | 00:09 |
Hatori | sisook, i'm haven't yet learn virtualenv, maybe other people could help you | 00:10 |
sisook | @Hatori so i can manage where my python packages get installed across multiple projects... but I guess the real question is how to enforce on my Lucid machine to use python 2.u7 instead of 2.6 globally | 00:10 |
bobweaver | ActionPa1snip, Yeah that is what it said . should I boot live cd and move the / so that it has more open space ? | 00:10 |
sisook | 2.7* | 00:10 |
bobweaver | or anyother Ideas ? | 00:10 |
bobweaver | any other * | 00:10 |
geek | #ubuntu-us-or | 00:11 |
geek | ooops.... | 00:11 |
ActionPa1snip | bobweaver: its an option. You could grow the extended partition (if this is possible) then you are ok. I don't have this stuff as I plan my partitions | 00:11 |
=== geek is now known as Guest60239 |
jagginess | bobweaver, that's a big mess | 00:11 |
=== Guest60239 is now known as c_smith_ |
bobweaver | Yeah I have been stearing clear of the partitioning and moving for weeks now | 00:12 |
L3top | WeThePeople: I have to eat now... Warrior needs food badly... Warrior is about to die. | 00:12 |
jagginess | bobweaver, best thing to do, is use a 2nd drive, clone /dev/sda5 onto /dev/sdb<> somewhere, and the remove completely the whole extendeded partition on /dev/sda | 00:12 |
WeThePeople | l3top, ok thanks for the help | 00:12 |
L3top | WeThePeople: will be back in 15 or so | 00:12 |
jagginess | bobweaver, (clonezilla comes to mind) | 00:12 |
=== Kittens_ is now known as Kittens |
bobweaver | jagginess, very cool thanks | 00:12 |
choct155 | has anyone had problems booting 12.04 LTS consistently on an ASUS U46E? (Intel® Core™ i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4; graphics: VESA: Intel®Sandybridge Mobile Graphics) | 00:12 |
jagginess | bobweaver, and backup /dev/sda7 as well of course.. any logical partitions with data on it (no need to backup any swap partition) | 00:13 |
L3top | choct155: rather than ask an "anyone" question, just give details of the issue you having. | 00:13 |
bobweaver | Well I mean I have no troubles at all removing the ntfs and dell stuff but dont want to void warranty and not sure if it would | 00:15 |
L3top | bobweaver: clonezilla will make a clone of the current drive, and should you ever need to, it can be restored as if nothing ever happened to it, assuming the drive itself is not defunct. | 00:16 |
jagginess | bobweaver, yeah.. if you can wipe out /dev/sda1 that wouldn't hurt :).. usually there's crap on that.. like logo installers | 00:16 |
choct155 | My apologies for the etiquette blunders. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has hung up on the purple screen rather randomly on my ASUS U46E (Intel® Core™ i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4; graphics: VESA: Intel®Sandybridge Mobile Graphics) I have tried booting from recovery mode (which I did to get into this session), but it's just as unreliable. I also tried updating GRUB, and a nomodeset edit in the boot script | 00:16 |
Hatori | bobweaver, i think you should check your warranty | 00:16 |
L3top | !nomodeset | choct155 | 00:16 |
ubottu | choct155: 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 | 00:16 |
jagginess | bobweaver, it's just a diagnostic bootup.. those things arent special.. | 00:17 |
ssfdre38 | i am now getting an error with JACK audio connection kit and its not starting up | 00:17 |
jagginess | bobweaver, but your windows boot may break (and you'll likely need the free paragon rescue kit-- to fix any registry-mapping to C:\) | 00:17 |
Ethic | 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 | 00:17 |
choct155 | thanks ubottu, i will give it a shot | 00:18 |
bobweaver | that is what I figured and to be 100% honest I have never used the windows side well not ever but I really do not need it maybe if cpu or anything goes wrong with computer I can send in with out harddrive. But thanks to all for your help . I will clone the drive then I will Just remove all the windows stuff thanks again | 00:19 |
jagginess | bobweaver, gparted live cd can probably move /dev/sda3 (after wiping out sda1 and sda2) to the beginning of the drive | 00:19 |
jagginess | bobweaver, you can do that.. | 00:20 |
lsj8924 | emm | 00:20 |
lsj8924 | let me think | 00:20 |
awc737 | NO! this is BS! I can not let this happen again!!! XUBUNTU will randomly loose my installed software, then after a reboot, won't even BOOT! | 00:20 |
bobweaver | jagginess, yeah that is what I am thinking , the only reason that I would like to have other partition is to install 12.04 because then I can hack at Unity-2d for 5 more years ! :) | 00:21 |
awc737 | about ~3 hours into a fresh Xubu install, (seemingly close to after installing LAMP), I notice "Ubuntu Software Center" is missing from my main menu | 00:21 |
awc737 | then I notice my other applications are missing, Evolution mail, etc | 00:21 |
rinzler | dr_willis: switched to lubuntu per your suggestion yesterday, and am loving it. Thanks for the idea! | 00:21 |
awc737 | then, I better not restart my computer, cause I will never get back!!!! | 00:21 |
awc737 | please help | 00:21 |
BrendenT | Hi all. Trying to install MySQL, apt-get gives me a bunch of 404. I'm on an AWS instance. | 00:22 |
bobweaver | Breadflour, can you update ? sudo apt-get update | 00:23 |
awc737 | To summarize: 3 hours into a fresh Xubu install, I notice "Ubuntu Software Center", and other self-installed software is missing. Last time this happened, rebooting resulted in never getting my machine back!!!! | 00:23 |
ActionPa1snip | BrendenT: did you run: sudo apt-get update first? | 00:23 |
ActionPa1snip | BrendenT: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:23 |
xangua | awc737: xubuntu doesn't come with evolution, no idea about software center or if it has it's own Xubuntu software center as Lubuntu has | 00:23 |
BrendenT | yes, sudo apt-get update gives a fair number of errors too. | 00:23 |
BrendenT | let me get the lsb ... output... | 00:23 |
bobweaver | awc737, did you look to see what is missing ? dpkg-query -l | awk '{print $2}' | 00:24 |
BrendenT | sudo lsb_release -sc gives "precise" as the output, just that one word | 00:24 |

ActionPa1snip | BrendenT: can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 00:26 |
awc737 | bobweaver: what am I looking for in this result? | 00:26 |
dr_willis | 'self installed software' - means what exactly? | 00:26 |
awc737 | software I installed myself... | 00:26 |
awc737 | and even Ubuntu Software Center, which I didn't install | 00:27 |

elisa87 | Does Skype in Ubuntu have video chatting or just voice ? | 00:29 |
awc737 | this is so frustrating, i just installed Xubu, then spent 3 hours re-customizing my install after this happened last time | 00:29 |
jagginess | elisa87, i think skype is closed-source | 00:29 |
awc737 | installing all my apps, etc | 00:29 |
sssilver_ | muelli: after adding the boot option, still doesn't work. dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12571210/ | 00:30 |
zykotick9 | jagginess: i know skype is closed source | 00:30 |
awc737 | the last thing I really remember doing was tasksel LAMP | 00:30 |
muelli | sssilver_: The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. | 00:30 |
sssilver_ | muelli: * http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257120/ | 00:30 |
sssilver_ | sorry | 00:30 |
jagginess | elisa87, that would be non-free repositories or maybe another multiverse repository | 00:31 |
awc737 | here is my only indiction of a problem: | 00:31 |
awc737 | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 00:31 |
zykotick9 | awc737: only 1 package manager at a time is allowed | 00:31 |
muelli | hm sssilver_. Can you pastebin "ls /dev/input/" again? | 00:32 |
awc737 | no sorry nvm, thats cause I was trying something in tasksel to fix it | 00:32 |
sssilver_ | muelli: * http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257124/ | 00:32 |
muelli | sssilver_: and do "cat /dev/input/mice" again, wobble the mouse and tell whether there is anything on the terminal..? | 00:32 |
elisa87 | jagginess but I found it in ubuntu software service | 00:32 |
sssilver_ | muelli: nothing | 00:32 |
elisa87 | how can i install windows software on my ubuntu? | 00:32 |
elisa87 | virtual box? | 00:32 |
sssilver_ | elisa87: that, or Wine | 00:33 |
awc737 | I am so scared to reboot my computer, but I don't know what else to do | 00:33 |
muelli | sssilver_: hm. can you "cat" any of those files in /dev/input, wobble the mouse and tell whether there is anything? | 00:33 |
jagginess | elisa87, ubuntu softwater center includes commercial apps too | 00:33 |
awc737 | My ubuntu software center just disappeared | 00:33 |
jagginess | elisa87, but it doesnt mean it's open source | 00:33 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: have you determined whether the applications are still installed but maybe not showing up in your menu? | 00:33 |
muelli | sssilver_: i.e. cat each file seperately. One after another... Eventualyl hit Ctrl+C to abort cat. | 00:33 |
elisa87 | so all in all, you mean that skype on ubuntu doesn't have video chat? | 00:33 |
muelli | sssilver_: also do some clicking... | 00:33 |
jagginess | elisa87, you'll have to try it out and see if it does the job (or maybe #skype :?) | 00:33 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: I've noticed that some packages I've installed don't automatically show up in the Xubuntu menus | 00:33 |
elisa87 | by the way jagginess how can i install virtual box? | 00:34 |
zykotick9 | jagginess: s/ubuntu software center/ubuntu's app store/ ;) | 00:34 |

bobweaver | !info software-center | awc737 | 00:34 |
Cyberspaceloa | elisa87: I have successfully video chatted with the linux native skype in ubuntu | 00:34 |

awc737 | yes software-center is listed | 00:35 |
awc737 | I can't go up to see if evolution or chromium is listed | 00:35 |
Hatori | elisa87, i think you should use similiar application that was available on linux | 00:35 |
bobweaver | awc737, you could do dpkg-query -l | awk '/software-center/ {print $2}' | 00:35 |
awc737 | because the long list cuts off at k | 00:35 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: have you tried to invoke it from the cli? | 00:35 |

awc737 | Cyberspaceloa: chromium-browser is also listed, although it also disappeared from my main menu | 00:36 |
awc737 | how would I invoke chromium from the command line | 00:36 |
sssilver_ | muelli: it's unlikely that I'd have 2 defective PS/2 mice which'd behave identical | 00:36 |

elisa87 | Cyberspaceloa how did you find the video chat button in Skype? I cannot find it | 00:36 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: try calling one of the missing applications from the command line and see if it runs | 00:36 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: hopefully your menu is just misconfigured somehow | 00:36 |
muelli | sssilver_: I agree. I mean, it might after be a Linux bug. But do you have another PC that takes PS/2 and that you could test your mice on? | 00:37 |

BrendenT | trying 8.8.8.8 as a nameserver still makes apt-get give a ton of 404 errors, unfortunately... | 00:38 |
elisa87 | Cyberspaceloa no i installed it from ubuntu software center | 00:38 |
elisa87 | or maybe a sudo apt-get | 00:38 |
muelli | sssilver_: hm. I'm sorry. I don't know how to proceed then. I would eventually try a live CD and try to boot that. Maybe something that uses a more vanilla kernel like Fedora. | 00:38 |
awc737 | bobweaver: this is the second hdd I had this problem | 00:38 |
sssilver_ | muelli: actually, I did test the compaq mouse -- it works | 00:38 |
awc737 | first time, i put a new hdd, reinstalled xubu, and not its happeniung again | 00:38 |
Cyberspaceloa | elisa87: okay, as long as you used apt basically. I'll run mine and take a look at it | 00:39 |
zykotick9 | awc737: you don't have chromium-browser installed (but that's not the command to launch it) | 00:39 |
awc737 | i do have it installed zykotick9 | 00:39 |
awc737 | according to the list | 00:39 |
muelli | sssilver_: wait a second... So your PS/2 interface does work indeed for the other mouse..? | 00:39 |
BarkingFish | Hi again :) Is there any way of finding out what a metapackage installs on your PC please? I have "purged" unity and gnome out of my kubuntu system - as was suggested last night, it did indeed cause me some issues. | 00:39 |
awc737 | and whats the command to run it? | 00:39 |
sssilver_ | muelli: no, the other mouse does work on another pc | 00:39 |
muelli | BarkingFish: ubuntu-desktop | 00:39 |
Cyberspaceloa | zykotick9: I just launched chromium-browser with that command | 00:39 |
dr_willis | which chromium-browser | 00:39 |
dr_willis | /usr/bin/chromium-browser | 00:39 |
sssilver_ | muelli: it's tested | 00:39 |
zykotick9 | awc737: sorry "chromium-browser" DOES launch it here. my bad. | 00:39 |
awc737 | omg the list is fucked up. evolution is listed. command evolution says 'evolution is not installed' | 00:39 |
sssilver_ | muelli: can you please remind me how to display a list of input devices again? | 00:40 |
BarkingFish | But what I took out was significantly smaller than what I installed.... The system wound up installing 465 packages when I installed ubuntu-desktop, but the purge only removed 176 | 00:40 |
muelli | sssilver_: For X: xinput. For the kernel: ls /dev/input | 00:40 |
bobweaver | BarkingFish, what is the DE that you want ? | 00:40 |
jagginess | awc737, install "ubuntu".. "xubuntu" sux. | 00:40 |
zykotick9 | awc737: are you looking at "dpkg -L ..." output or "apt-cache policy foo"? | 00:40 |
bobweaver | KDE ? | 00:40 |
BarkingFish | bobweaver, KDE only now | 00:40 |
dr_willis | !purekde | 00:40 |

muelli | sssilver_: ah, I see. Okay. So I would boot a vanilla kernel. If that still doesn't yield your mouse working (i.e. catting files in /dev/input) I would report a bug against Linux. | 00:40 |
BarkingFish | I tried dual dm, GDM and KDM, GDM saused some issues for me. | 00:41 |
zykotick9 | awc737: all DMs Suck! enough guys. | 00:41 |
sssilver_ | OK, thanks muelli !! | 00:41 |
muelli | sssilver_: it's *very* unlikely though that there's a bug in Linux handling PS/2 mice though. But well, unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible. | 00:41 |
Cyberspaceloa | elisa87: I have a button that says "Turn on video" | 00:41 |
dr_willis | awc737: sounds like you may be having some other odd hardware issues.. ive had bad hard drive cables and controllers in the past. | 00:41 |
awc737 | i shouldnt have this problem just because i like xfce | 00:41 |
jagginess | sssilver, sounds close to "thank s-muelli !!" | 00:41 |
awc737 | dr_willis: that doesnt make sense. its a solid computer. I just had the SAME problem 3 hours ago, and tried a new hdd | 00:42 |
awc737 | its a software/config issue | 00:42 |

loui625 | hello | 00:43 |
dr_willis | i wouldent think 'tasksel' would remove desktop apps either. | 00:43 |
awc737 | Hatori: 3 hours into a fresh Xubu install, I notice "Ubuntu Software Center", and all my self-installed software is missing. Last time this happened, rebooting resulted in never getting my machine back | 00:43 |
jagginess | Ethic, apt-get update, and try the upgrade | 00:44 |
zykotick9 | dr_willis: i doubt tasksel removes anything - if it does, it shouldn't. | 00:44 |
bobweaver | Ahh harddrive is much better :) http://imagebin.org/230709 Now should I move that sda1 over some and then remove swap in sad4 and make a new partition for swap ? can I even do that so the next install (couple minutes from now) can use the same swap as other partition ? thanks again | 00:44 |
dr_willis | 'never getting my machine back' => what exactly did happen when the system tried to boot... | 00:44 |
jagginess | dr_willis, he's said it at least 5*** times, he can't get his PC back. (I think he loves saying this) | 00:44 |

choct155 | Afraid my 12.04 LTS still does not boot consistently on my ASUS U46E. I have tried updating GRUB, fixing broken packages in recovery mode (which is just as unreliable as the normal boot), and editing the boot script to include the NOMODESET option. Any other remedies?

sssilver__ | Hey muelli, I just replaced my genius with a compaq mouse, and the title in xinput remained the same. | 00:46 |

BarkingFish | thanks for the help bobweaver and dr_willis - i'm solo kde now. I thought GDM would be nice to have on, but it cross pollutes the KDM workspace - things which are gnome only turn up in here, and I didn't want that :) | 00:47 |
muelli | hm sssilver__: interesting data point indeed | 00:47 |
sssilver__ | muelli: I replaced the mouse with the one that is tested and restarted the PC | 00:47 |
zykotick9 | BrendenT: 404 from "sudo apt-get update" ? i assume. | 00:47 |
dr_willis | BarkingFish: i mixx up kde and gnome all the time. theres just to many good apps on each one to limit myself to one or the other. | 00:47 |
BrendenT | zykotick9: yes, those too, but from install MySQL also | 00:48 |
awc737_ | this is the same fucking problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1980690 | 00:48 |

Detroit_Hell_Ya | hi can some one help me with vpn i setup pptv | 00:48 |
BarkingFish | dr_willis, the prob I had is a particular gnome app which I wanted working, which doesn't work any longer. It stopped around the time pulseaudio came in - and I'll be hanged if I can fix it. | 00:48 |

dr_willis | and last time some one posted an image for me to look at.. welll.. the grandson had some.. questions..... | 01:25 |
dr_willis | night all.. bed time. | 01:26 |
muelli | Detroit_Hell_Ya: and the host command..? | 01:26 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: i hope not. but i'm sure there is. have you checked "man dpkg" for yes? use / to search. | 01:27 |
Skapare | I did, and searched, and found nothing | 01:27 |
Skapare | I am trying to remove grub in an automated script ... it puts up a prompt asking if I am sure ... how can I force it to just do it? ... the command I am doing is: | 01:27 |
Skapare | dpkg --purge grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-legacy-ec2 grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common | 01:27 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: good luck ;) <i'm no help> | 01:28 |
Skapare | they should never have allowed user prompting in dpkg ... or at least provide an option: --do-not-prompt-because-no-user-is-there | 01:30 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: pass it with a --force=all command | 01:30 |
Skapare | OK, I'll go try that now | 01:30 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: sorry, not = use force-all | 01:31 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: installing packages is something an admin "should" be there for.... just sayin' | 01:31 |
Skapare | dpkg: error: unknown option --force=all | 01:31 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: sorry, I meant --force-all, not =all | 01:32 |
Skapare | zykotick9: I'm UNinstalling ... and it's part of an automated build process I'm putting together for cloud based operation ... so no one can be there | 01:32 |
Skapare | FlipShaw: the prompt still comes up | 01:33 |
dj_ryan | I'm trying to configure Xorg via xorg.conf, and xinerama, and i cant seem to get my intel built in graphics to not-mirror | 01:33 |
dj_ryan | cant use xrandr due to xinerama, and now im sad | 01:33 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: fyi, i'm failing to find a dpkg auto-install option in the man page. i'm totally vindicated by my "hope not, but assume there is..." statement earlier. if it's true - and i still doubt it. | 01:33 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: cloud = fog, lame... | 01:34 |
Skapare | zykotick9: well AWS | 01:34 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: THat's the only thing I could think of to stop the prompt | 01:34 |
zykotick9 | Skapare: best of luck with ubuntu. <don't bother replying to me, i won't see it> | 01:35 |
Skapare | FlipShaw: it is asking about grub files in /boot/grub ... which apparently were put there as part of grub doing the install, as opposed to the package install | 01:35 |
phong_ | i got it | 01:36 |
* Skapare wonders what zykotick9's remark means | 01:36 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: I'm not sure about all that than | 01:36 |
Skapare | FlipShaw: so I'm thinking maybe if I just wipe off /boot/grub first, maybe it won't ask | 01:36 |
Skapare | the /boot/grub files are not part of the debian package system install ... they are added when the grub programs do their install thing | 01:37 |
FlipShaw | Skapare: Sounds like a resonable theory | 01:37 |
WeThePeople | l3top, you around | 01:37 |
Skapare | so if they are absent, maybe it will think it hasn't installed them | 01:37 |
Skapare | I gotta re-launch my test instance to test this idea ... because grub was uninstalled with these commands I did | 01:38 |

bustacap | Anyone have a weather indicator that works on 12.04? I can't get my city to add with the one in the software manager. | 01:42 |
JamezQ | Hey anyone in the SF area, ubuntu hour at The Roastery going on now. | 01:42 |
zykotick9 | postmodern: oh. then no. ubuntu has 0 service management. no joke. see "/msg ubottu upstart" for some info... ubuntu uses upstart not init.d! | 01:42 |
L3top | WeThePeople: Yes... though a bit confusingly written... if you have questions feel free to ask. | 01:43 |
WeThePeople | ok, thanks | 01:43 |
postmodern | zykotick9, there seems to be plenty of init.d scripts for services, just no separation between config and functions | 01:44 |
zykotick9 | postmodern: it's all manual, but it can be done. /etc/init/ (NOT /etc/init.d/0 is the KEY | 01:44 |
xangua | bustacap: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available there is one called My Weather | 01:44 |
zykotick9 | postmodern: it's all manual, but it can be done. /etc/init/ (NOT /etc/init.d/) is the KEY SORRY | 01:44 |
L3top | WeThePeople: wait... the chroot /mnt /bin/bash hoohah is not necessary. I would avoid that. | 01:45 |
bustacap | xangua, Yeah, that one didn't work either. | 01:45 |
zykotick9 | postmodern: rename scripts to foo.disalbed in /etc/init/ | 01:45 |
L3top | WeThePeople: nor do you need the /etc/resolv nonsense | 01:45 |
Skapare | that theory didn't work :-( | 01:45 |
WeThePeople | l3top, yeah, i am pickin out the commands i want | 01:45 |

L3top | WeThePeople: chances are you do not need to mount by type.... | 01:46 |
WeThePeople | to use | 01:46 |
postmodern | zykotick9, but i am writing init.d scripts here, not upstart | 01:46 |
jrib | zykotick9: that's not the best way to disable a service (see overrides in upstart's cookbook: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files ) | 01:46 |
zykotick9 | L3top: fyi /etc/resolv.conf is deprecated 12.04+, so it is nonsense | 01:46 |
postmodern | zykotick9, thanks though! | 01:46 |
WeThePeople | l3top, by dev then? | 01:46 |

bustacap | xangua, Newest version is available here, just found it and it's working. The repository installs an old version: https://launchpad.net/~weather-indicator-team/+archive/ppa/+build/3690342 | 01:48 |
bustacap | xangua, Just incase anyone else asks, cause I've seen a lot of people complaining about not being able to add their cities recently. | 01:48 |
L3top | WeThePeople: in short... the mounting is correct... then just chroot the root of where it is mounted... and run the grub-install /dev/sda and update-grub | 01:49 |
L3top | WeThePeople: on the dvd you can run sudo -i, and all commands you issue will be as root | 01:52 |
L3top | WeThePeople: this will be necessary to chroot | 01:52 |
WeThePeople | ok | 01:52 |
xangua | bustacap: well i had no issues with indicator-weather since i installed precice | 01:52 |

bustacap | Making my reformat definitely worth it :P | 02:09 |
L3top | dylan this is typically because of a PPA... does ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d produce a result? | 02:09 |
dylan | I habe NO idea | 02:09 |
muelli | dylan: fair enough. What did you do then..? | 02:09 |
dylan | L3top: google-chrome.list google-chrome.list.save local-repository.list local-repository.list.save | 02:09 |
L3top | dylan: for the time being, please move the contents of that folder somewhere else, and run apt-get update | 02:10 |
bustacap | What is local-repository.list o.O | 02:10 |
L3top | dylan: then please run dpkg --configure -a again, and follow with apt-get -f install | 02:11 |

dylan | that also gave the same output as last time "E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 | 02:16 |
muelli | dylan: is there any reason you need the i386 version of libssl? You are running on 64bit right? I would remove the i386 version. apt-get purge libssl:i386 or so. Or dpkg --purge or so. | 02:16 |

muelli | k. better follow L3top. | 02:16 |
dylan | k | 02:16 |
dylan | waiting on L3top | 02:16 |
dylan | however | 02:17 |
muelli | dylan: But you did mess with your sources.list! | 02:17 |
zykotick9 | L3top: fyi apt does not support downgrading in any way, so simply removing the source will not downgrade the package (this is why ppa-purge is important). | 02:17 |
dylan | last time he tried to get me to modify /sys | 02:17 |
L3top | dylan: you have an amd64 install of a package and something wants the i386 version... | 02:18 |
muelli | yeah, it's likely the chrome thing | 02:18 |
L3top | zykotick9: I know... but I think this is a cross version issue | 02:18 |
L3top | without much doubt... | 02:18 |
dylan | can I just nix chrome? | 02:18 |
dylan | I dont use it | 02:18 |
muelli | yeah! | 02:18 |
dylan | what would the command be to dump it? | 02:18 |
L3top | dylan what you SHOULD do, is move the files back to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and then... | 02:19 |
L3top | !ppa-purge | dylan | 02:19 |
ubottu | dylan: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:19 |

dylan | which command? | 02:25 |
muelli | nah. L3top. you recommended removing the entire libssl. That's bad of course. Because virtually everything depends on it. better remove libssl:i386 only | 02:25 |
L3top | muelli: I believe that will require dpkg -r --ignore-depends with a list | 02:26 |

muelli | dylan: wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/p/ppa-purge/ppa-purge_0.2.8+bzr56_all.deb; dpkg -i ppa-purge*.deb | 02:37 |
edgy | muelli, L3top: I don't have a problem myself, but e.g I read on the link I pasted before that if you lost your password you can use this init=/bin/bash trick to get a shell to recover the password, I used to do this with passing single, so I wondered what's the difference? | 02:37 |
dylan | muelli: http://pastebin.com/amvw8FYK | 02:38 |
muelli | edgy: the kernel doesn't understand "single". That's for the boot magic, Debian includes. It might very well decide to prompt for a root password before giving you access. init= circumvents that by telling the kernel to run it (i.e. bash) straight away | 02:38 |
L3top | edgy: I would guess that it launches bash as root... that would be the only way that worked... so bash would execute every command as root and as such you could change the pw... but... that seems sort of unlikely imo. | 02:38 |
muelli | dylan: What does "dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege" tell you? | 02:38 |
dylan | I used sudo | 02:38 |
dylan | you can see that at the top | 02:38 |
muelli | dylan: no. | 02:39 |
dylan | yes I did... | 02:39 |

muelli | dylan: no. the semicolon separates commands. sudo dpkg -i ppa-purge*.deb | 02:39 |

dylan | I have never been more glad to see "processing triggers for man-db" | 02:40 |

L3top | I am not going to help you root random installs... no. Nor do I believe it will work without a root pw on its face. | 02:40 |

ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:50 |
dylan | ugh.... | 02:50 |
dylan | I have no idea what that means | 02:50 |
dylan | so a .list file is a ppa? | 02:51 |
L3top | no... | 02:51 |
dylan | oh | 02:51 |
dylan | well | 02:51 |
L3top | !ppa | 02:51 |
ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 02:51 |
dylan | then I am more confused than I was earlier | 02:51 |
dylan | I will just wait | 02:51 |
L3top | each ppa will explain what its repo path looks like... and based on the content of that folder... you can work that out dylan. | 02:51 |
pmp6nl | Hello, how do I open an app in 12.04 -- not via dash since that does not work | 02:52 |
Cyberspaceloa | dylan: a .list file describes to apt where to find a PPA | 02:52 |
Cyberspaceloa | dylan: the PPA itself is hosted remotely | 02:52 |
L3top | It is not one of those things that will just go away dylan... and also a great thing to understand. Just... work it out. | 02:52 |
L3top | pmp6nl: depends on the app... give more detail please | 02:53 |
pmp6nl | Hi L3top when I try to open an app via dash it simply doesnt not work. Searching for terminal - nothing appears. | 02:54 |
airshock | Hi all, trying to compile PHP 5.3.17 from source on Ubuntu Server 12.04 x64, getting this error during make, not sure how to fix this: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation | 02:54 |
L3top | AN app or ANY app pmp6nl | 02:55 |
L3top | airshock: why cant you use the repo version? | 02:55 |
pmp6nl | L3top, any app. No app can be opened via the dash. | 02:55 |
digadvan | anyone using wordpress? | 02:55 |
L3top | pmp6nl: you have a bigger problem... how old is this install? | 02:55 |
pmp6nl | april L3top | 02:56 |
L3top | pmp6nl: what changed? Is this a new user? | 02:56 |
airshock | L3top: because I usually build HTPD and PHP from sources. Have no trouble building PHP 5.4.7 on same machine, but PHP 5.3.17 throws that error. | 02:56 |
alexi5 | do any of you guys know of any laptops that are compatible with ubuntu ? | 02:56 |
WeThePeople | airshock, https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48795&edit=1 | 02:56 |
pmp6nl | L3top, nope not a new user. Perhaps a dash upgrade | 02:56 |
Fernest | ok, I am confused with this. Could one explain it to me on a step by step basis? (Like "add gnome ppa" (which I did), "upgrade" (which I did), "reboot" (which I did)) Whatever I do gnome stays at version 3.4.1 | 02:56 |
Fernest | (the ppa I add was ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 (was it right?)) | 02:57 |
trism | Fernest: the gnome ppa doesn't have 3.6 builds for precise, only quantal | 02:57 |
trism | Fernest: so if you want 3.6, use 12.10 | 02:57 |
Fernest | hm | 02:57 |
Fernest | should I go to 12.10? | 02:57 |
Fernest | (Is it stable and stuff?) | 02:58 |
L3top | airshock: what you want to do is outside of normal support... Chances are it is because you are downgrading... and chances are that is why it isnt supported. | 02:58 |
bazhang | !12.10 | Fernest | 02:58 |
ubottu | Fernest: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 02:58 |
airshock | WeThePeople: that bug you linked me to is for Mac OS X, but I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 | 02:58 |
L3top | pmp6nl: I need media... give me a moment to select | 02:58 |
bazhang | Fernest, /join #ubuntu+1 | 02:58 |
nkls | someone want to tell me: compiz can work with 16bit or not? | 02:59 |
Fernest | so am I getting this right: gnome 3.6 is out, but not for the Ubuntu, which is out. But I could only use it with a future version? (wtf?) | 02:59 |
airshock | L3top: is there another way I can run PHP 5.3 on my machine then? I'd normally just use 5.4 since I can build it from source with no problems but I need 5.3 to run FreePBX. | 03:00 |
OerHeks | !wtf | 03:00 |
ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:00 |

WhereIsMySpoon | Hi, I just tried to boot into my ubuntu install and all i get is a busybox session with no /home partition | 03:00 |
WhereIsMySpoon | what on earth has happened | 03:00 |
nkls | bazhang, and L3top thanks :( | 03:00 |
L3top | airshock: downgrading causes all manner of issues. What do you use this system for? Feel free to pm. | 03:01 |
WhereIsMySpoon | i have changed hardware significantly since last time i booted linux but windows was fine with it | 03:01 |
b1tgl0w | In libreoffice writer, when I try to insert a math forumla, it shows a broken image after I click the "writing pane" when inserting a formula object. (I tried #libreoffice, no response). The formula shows just fine until I click the writing pane | 03:01 |
* L3top lols at bad acronym explaining bad acronym | 03:01 |
airshock | L3top: right now just using it as a backup destination for the data on my main system, as well as to run Asterisk and FreePBX (which due to a bug requires PHP 5.3) | 03:02 |
DJJeff | installed ubuntu 12.04 installed gnome-panel logged into gnome-classic and I cant move the panels? unlock the items and move them around? | 03:04 |
L3top | b1tgl0w: sounds like bad math /me runs | 03:04 |
WhereIsMySpoon | :p | 03:05 |
WhereIsMySpoon | anyone got any ideas for my issue? :( | 03:05 |
xangua | DJJeff: You need to keep shit+something else to move them, don't remember; tried to google something like 'move gnome panel 12.04' ¿ | 03:05 |
edgy | L3top: it's now clear, I booted with both single and init=/bin/bash, the first prompt me for a password, the second is not | 03:06 |
unsobill | my bubuntu keep crashing with Xorg | 03:06 |
unsobill | is there anything i can do about it | 03:06 |
unsobill | to make this shitty OS more stable on my hardware ? | 03:06 |
xangua | ooh just google that and found the post http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed DJJeff :) google is your friend...or yahoo, duck go, whatever you preffer ;) | 03:07 |
edgy | L3top: just one last thing, in ubuntu they are using an argument "recovery" for the recovery entry, where is this coming from? | 03:07 |
bazhang | unsobill, ubuntu? what version | 03:07 |
bazhang | !version | unsobill | 03:07 |

awc737 | what is the difference between ubuntu + xfce VS xubuntu? and which is a better option? | 03:08 |
bazhang | unsobill, so what's the issue | 03:08 |
=== atrius is now known as atrius_away |
airshock | Anyone know a way I can fix my PHP 5.3 error (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation) or just install 5.3 via repo somehow? | 03:08 |
unsobill | to make things even worse some hidden update patched my system and created issue with Xorg causing it to crash | 03:08 |
WhereIsMySpoon | awc737: xubuntu doesnt come with all the stuff ubuntu does | 03:08 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: Typically the behavior is reversed... however... I would need to know what major changes you made, from what, to what in order to try and troubleshoot... and at the end of the day... just move your /home dir off somewhere, and reinstall, and move home back. | 03:08 |
awc737 | so its better to go ubuntu, and install xfce | 03:08 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: i cant see /home | 03:08 |
bazhang | unsobill, hidden update? from where | 03:08 |
WhereIsMySpoon | i just have the basic busybox session with basic linux folders | 03:08 |
xangua | awc737: what's the direfence between Ubuntu and XUbuntu¿ both are Ubuntu | 03:08 |
Fernest | trism: yes, I know, but still: I don't get why they don't bring it out for a LTS version | 03:08 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: There is no spoon. Boot to live disk. | 03:08 |
unsobill | bazhang, my ubuntu locks up every 40 something minutes | 03:09 |
unsobill | bazhang, and constantly reporting issue | 03:09 |
awc737 | Xubuntu is giving me crazy bugs. installing LAMP w/ tasksel DELETES all my user desktop settings, and removes Ubuntu Software Center | 03:09 |
ActionPa1snip | xangua: default apps :) | 03:09 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: :( but i had so many environments set up | 03:09 |
WhereIsMySpoon | is there no wy to get it back? | 03:09 |
bazhang | unsobill, what would make you suggest a "hidden update" | 03:09 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: Why do you thinnk I want you to backup home? | 03:09 |
trism | Fernest: it is quite a lot of work just geting it to work with the updated packages in quantal, backporting is signficantly more | 03:09 |
=== atrius_away is now known as atrius |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: because I am sitting in my chair on my skull shaped island stroking my persian cat? | 03:10 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: how will that help me get back all my installed programs and environments? | 03:10 |
unsobill | bazhang, hidden update meaning main update that system does i assume - i have no clue why my Xorg settings got all fkedup | 03:10 |
unsobill | bazhang, all suddenly | 03:10 |
unsobill | bazhang, anyway what can i do to make it more stable ? | 03:10 |
bazhang | unsobill, there are no hidden updates. what happened to cause the issue | 03:10 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: im not trying to be stupid here, i genuinely spent a lot of time getting all the stuff i watned on there, and dont want to reinstall | 03:11 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: programs are another thing. Environments will live in /home for the most part. You can just reinstall into your regular install and all non 3rd party apps will install... I mean look... it is so much more sane than windows or mac... i don't understand the complaint really... | 03:11 |
awc737 | is it generally recommended to install Ubuntu then install XFCE, or install Xubuntu? | 03:11 |
unsobill | bazhang, i have no clue what caused the issue but i assume there's problems with xorg since i get reports of crashes and in details it has path to Xorg | 03:11 |
WhereIsMySpoon | awc737: really doesnt make a lot of difference | 03:11 |
edbian | How can I do dynamic range audio compression on ubuntu? | 03:12 |

unsobill | bazhang, where would i look for them | 03:12 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: alright ill see if i can resurrect /home | 03:12 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: I think you are used to windows reinstalls. It doesn't work that way. | 03:12 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: backing UP /home is really important. | 03:13 |
bazhang | unsobill, in the reports of crashes you just told about | 03:13 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: ive reinstalled linux several times | 03:13 |
Fernest | trism: Ok. Didn't assume it would be so much work, since I thought that gnome shell is just a front-end and thus not as integrated in the "core" of linux | 03:13 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: That is only in case something goes TERRIBLY wrong... | 03:13 |
Wilson2B | So for weeks now I thought my problem was Unity / Compiz | 03:13 |
Wilson2B | Turns out it was #cairo-dock, Bottom of screen would go blank on primary display only. | 03:13 |
Wilson2B | Has anyone seen this before? | 03:13 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: what would i do after i back it up? | 03:13 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: I did to for many years before I realized the type of install would leave 90% of my already install untouched. | 03:14 |

unsobill | this is i7 CPU | 03:16 |
unsobill | i7 3770K running on x64 | 03:16 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: yes... you are asked a great number of questions from live CD with regard to installing. I was used to windows... so when things went awry I tended to destroy and install from scratch... because I did not understand the versitility of data under Linux | 03:16 |
unsobill | lol i then get window with APPORT on top and 5 options | 03:17 |
unsobill | i dont know what to do | 03:17 |
unsobill | continue. i already know a patch | 03:17 |
WhereIsMySpoon | L3top: your point being? | 03:17 |
L3top | unsobill: ivybridge... is a toothache. It can be made happy, for the most part... but... I dont have the novacane on hand and cannot search atm as I have to go back to dev work... but it is common. | 03:17 |
unsobill | L3top, so just grind teeth and move on - great | 03:17 |
unsobill | L3top, will it be stable on 10.4 ? | 03:18 |
unsobill | L3top, or 9 | 03:18 |
unsobill | ? | 03:18 |
L3top | unsobill: I would love to walk you through it... but.. I dont have time atm. That should not be a condemnation of the OS fgs. | 03:18 |
L3top | I can make it work on 1004 but it is a whole lot more work... | 03:18 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: still here | 03:18 |
L3top | stay where you are | 03:18 |
unsobill | okay L3top :D | 03:19 |
awc737 | yea Cyberspaceloa. narrowed the problem, tasksel install LAMP deletes... stuff | 03:19 |
awc737 | which is a stupid bug. I'm considering ubu then installing xfce, instead of xubu | 03:19 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: what I dug up is that anything unchecked in tasksell gets uninstalled | 03:20 |
awc737 | wtf.... | 03:20 |
L3top | WhereIsMySpoon: you can install ubuntu, over your ubuntu, without wiping 90 percent out... unlike windows. That is my point... however you should backup. You really should. | 03:20 |
awc737 | thats a big discovery | 03:20 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: even if it's unrelated to what you think you're installing | 03:20 |
awc737 | how should I know what I need to re-check! | 03:20 |

Wilson2B | Trying to figure out how to fix it, I reset the settings (Ithink) and uninstalled / reinstalled Cairo doc | 03:22 |
unsobill | L3top, didnt catched that hint - should i reinstall 32 version ? | 03:23 |
maicod | if I've typed export DISPLAY=":0" will it survive a reboot or do I need to edit some config file ? | 03:23 |
L3top | unsobill: you get to be... unfamiliar and walk away... but it IS easier and faster and amazing in contrast to windows... Windows, which really needs a good doucheing every 9 months if you use it... | 03:23 |
unsobill | L3top, to be honest I'm usually running Freebsd so not fan of Windows but Win7 proved to be much stable on my hardware then 12.4 | 03:24 |
unsobill | L3top, maybe i just need driver or patch who knows | 03:25 |
L3top | unsobill: you can reinstall the base os over your current (again backup first) and the core OS and 90% of your sw will "just work: | 03:25 |

pyoor | but thanks | 03:39 |
chris92 | do you need the .iso or the repos? | 03:39 |
chris92 | pyoor: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/ | 03:40 |
chris92 | that should be the link for the jaunty repos | 03:40 |
chris92 | try them | 03:40 |
pyoor | chris92: whatever would be easiest to install gcc3-4 and a few deps | 03:40 |
Hatori | !info netflix | 03:40 |
ubottu | Package netflix does not exist in precise | 03:40 |
pyoor | chris92: mind if I ask for the format of the /apt/sources for that to work | 03:41 |
pyoor | I'm not very good with apt | 03:41 |
chris92 | "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 03:41 |
pyoor | yup | 03:41 |
chris92 | or rather | 03:41 |
chris92 | can you paste me the output of it? | 03:42 |
chris92 | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:42 |
pyoor | chris92: 1 moment. I think I might have it. | 03:42 |
chris92 | pyoor: normally the url you need to paste in there instead of every other url would be " http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ " | 03:43 |
pyoor | chris92: yeap that's what I've got | 03:43 |
pyoor | chris92: and thanks. that worked. | 03:43 |
IDWMaster | Hi. I'm having issues with hardware compatibility of Ubuntu on my new netbook. Where should I report the issue? | 03:43 |
pyoor | much appreciated | 03:43 |
IDWMaster | My backlight adjustment buttons aren't working | 03:43 |
chris92 | pyoor: you are welcome =) | 03:44 |

ActionPa1snip | IDWMaster: what make and model system? (I bet samsung) | 03:47 |
=== scottas is now known as zz_scottas |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: still with us? | 03:52 |
IDWMaster | Hmm. I've read the section on reporting bugs through Launchpad, and my problem doesn't seem to pertain to a particular package within Ubuntu, should I file the form for creation of a new package (a driver to support my backlight)? | 03:53 |
ActionPa1snip | IDWMaster: what make and model system? | 03:54 |
KRomeleoN | anyone using a recon3d sound card? | 03:55 |
LittleFoot | hi | 03:55 |
awc737 | yeah Cyberspaceloa, that's definitely the bug, and I just need to be careful with tasksel | 03:55 |
IDWMaster | Intel Atom N2600 processor | 03:55 |
LittleFoot | does ubuntu support 1440p | 03:55 |
KRomeleoN | ActionPa1snip, you are my favorite | 03:55 |
awc737 | I'm considering doing a debian minimalist install with xfce however... | 03:55 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: I'm on xubuntu 12.04 right now and I like it so far | 03:56 |
ActionPa1snip | IDWMaster: that's not important here, we need the make and model of the system if it has one | 03:56 |
ActionPa1snip | KRomeleoN: thanks :) | 03:56 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: sounds like tasksel is an outdated tool | 03:56 |
awc737 | yeah thats what i'm on... | 03:56 |
awc737 | yeah it is | 03:56 |
awc737 | but theres no other all in one lamp installer | 03:56 |
phiscribe | awc737 im partial to lxde when performance is a factor | 03:57 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: if I recall, I thought there was a lamp meta package via apt? | 03:57 |
phiscribe | icewm when its critical | 03:57 |
awc737 | phiscribe: it's not tho, pretty powerful machine and I'm willing to sacrifice performance for easy-of-use | 03:57 |
awc737 | especially since xfce is pretty light anwayy | 03:57 |
awc737 | i just can't stand unity | 03:58 |
phiscribe | go kde if you got horsepower | 03:58 |
awc737 | meh, kde was crazy | 03:58 |
awc737 | i tried opensuse kde | 03:58 |
awc737 | too much... try hard to be cool | 03:58 |
cdoublejj | installing nvidia drivers causing my machine to freeze just after auto log on. is there a way to see wahts failing or double check it is installing the correct drivers | 03:59 |
phiscribe | its pretty anyway :p~ | 03:59 |
Cyberspaceloa | awc737: apparently you are correct. Am I crazy thinking there used to be a convenient lamp meta package in the official repos?? | 03:59 |
awc737 | well you can put lamp in tasksel param, safer way to do it | 04:00 |
ardchoille | Cyberspaceloa: I remember using that convenient lamp meta package | 04:00 |
LittleFoot | has any1 tried ubuntu at 1440p | 04:01 |
awc737 | brb | 04:01 |
LittleFoot | its only showing 640 max | 04:01 |
Cyberspaceloa | I'm going to bookmark that thread in case anyone else needs it | 04:01 |
ardchoille | Is there a way to take a screenshot of the login screen (lightdm?) | 04:02 |
lotuspsychje | ardchoille:did you try f11? | 04:03 |
macmartine | Is a .sock file something I can just create on my own and point to? As in the case of this example from Unicorn: https://gist.github.com/3824924 | 04:03 |
ardchoille | lotuspsychje: haven't tried that, didn't know about that | 04:03 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: what video chip? | 04:03 |
LittleFoot | gtx560 | 04:04 |
lotuspsychje | ardchoille:not sure that works, but worth trying | 04:04 |
ardchoille | lotuspsychje: will try that next time I reboot, thank you | 04:05 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 04:05 |
theo | Some advice pls: Can I install Linux on an eee pc netbook, (atom) and how good is this? | 04:05 |
somsip | theo: yes you can. I have it on a 701 4G so even the lowest spec can handle it, if you don't expect too much | 04:06 |
ActionPa1snip | theo: yes it'll work fine | 04:06 |
lotuspsychje | macmartine:maybe this can help? https://github.com/blog/517-unicorn | 04:07 |
theo | somsip: thnx for that. It wld hv to be faster than Windoze, surely? And in ur experience, why shld I "not expect too much"? | 04:07 |
lotuspsychje | theo:is it a 32bit or 64bit netbook? | 04:08 |
Sabaoth | hey | 04:08 |
somsip | theo: well it depends what model you are installing it on. Don't expect much frm unity on a 401, for example. But if you run openbox or something light on a 401, it's fine. | 04:08 |
theo | I was thinking og getting an Asus eee pc and intsall Linux | 04:08 |
somsip | theo: if you buy a newer, faster model, you should be fine on all respects. But I have no anecdotal evidence to share except on a 401 | 04:08 |
LittleFoot | ActionPa1snip, no i mean does it support it? | 04:09 |
lotuspsychje | theo:i would not recommend eee, like somsip says better buy faster model for ubuntu | 04:09 |
theo | I just won an iPad but an small etbook would suit me better than a non-creative iPad, whci I will sell | 04:09 |
LittleFoot | i dont have it installed yet | 04:09 |
lotuspsychje | theo:smart decission | 04:09 |
somsip | lotuspsychje: well, I meant a more recent eee than the 401 which is pretty low spec | 04:09 |
lotuspsychje | somsip:i dont like those eee, but thats just my opinion and offtopic :p | 04:10 |
macmartine | lotuspsychje: thanks yeah i just read that, but it doesn't answer that | 04:10 |
lotuspsychje | theo:you can join ##hardware to check up good netbooks suitable for ubuntu aswell | 04:10 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: you'd have to check manufacturers spec to see what it can do | 04:10 |
macmartine | lotuspsychje: i think it's just more a lack of understanding of sockets | 04:11 |
theo | so, on an eee pc netbook could I install Ubuntu or is Puppy a better choice? | 04:11 |
lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip:whats that trigger again for ubuntu laptop compatibility list? | 04:11 |
ActionPa1snip | !hcl | 04:11 |
ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 04:11 |
lotuspsychje | theo:ubuntu all the way | 04:11 |
lotuspsychje | theo:check that list ActionPa1snip just triggered pls | 04:12 |
cfhowlett | theo: both xubuntu and lubuntu are optimized for machines with low specifications, e.g. netbooks. | 04:12 |
lotuspsychje | cfhowlett:i run precise 12.04.1 on 64bit netbook flawless with compiz | 04:13 |
theo | I hv xfce on my laptop and it is great :) | 04:13 |
ActionPa1snip | lotuspsychje: i'd imagine the chip can go quite high | 04:13 |
lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip:its an acer One with rather higher specs yes | 04:14 |
cfhowlett | lotuspsychje: I understand. Was merely offering a suggestion that Theo might not have considered. I'm happy to hear that Ubuntu works for you. | 04:14 |
ActionPa1snip | lotuspsychje: does it use a hybrid gpu? | 04:14 |
lotuspsychje | cfhowlett:yes mate you are very right aswell, xubuntu would rock on netbook :p | 04:14 |
lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip:howto check? | 04:14 |
ActionPa1snip | lotuspsychje: sudo lshw -C display do you see an intel and an nvidia, or just an nvidia | 04:15 |
LittleFoot | ActionPa1snip, my mon suport 1440p in windows | 04:16 |
lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip: product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290] | 04:16 |
somsip | LittleFoot: do you mean 1440p or 1440x960? | 04:17 |
lotuspsychje | macmartine:not sure then, can you detail more what exaclty you want to do? | 04:17 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 04:17 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: what windows dioes is of near zero value | 04:18 |

LittleFoot | i dont have it installed | 04:20 |
ActionPa1snip | LittleFoot: my POS 6150LE can do 1440 width, its nothing really special | 04:20 |
somsip | ActionPa1snip: there are 1440p (height) big monitors. That's why i asked for clarification | 04:22 |
LittleFoot | no its 1440 height | 04:25 |
Steve132_ | I'm having real problems getting my HP printer to work...I have a pdf file, but just printing it with lp file.pdf queues a job by an unknown user that forever is "processing" | 04:26 |

lotuspsychje | Steve132_:so if you installed it, you should have icon somewhere in your menu | 04:37 |
Steve132_ | Found the problem: Reading hte package depends, thats just some driver and utils | 04:37 |
Steve132_ | theres an hplip-gui package | 04:37 |
Steve132_ | which I didn't have | 04:37 |
LittleFoot | does any1 here haave a 1440p monitor that can verify it works in ubuntu | 04:38 |

ejv | konqui: if you want a streamlined system, ubuntu may not be the right tool for that job, perhaps gentoo, they have a unique USE flag system for specifying what kind of support you want. very optimized. | 06:20 |
timfrost | themindbenders: no. Do NOT format it - the default when it is sold to you is vfat, which gives you a chance of recovering the files, if you follow the advice at the first link that the info bot gave you | 06:20 |
Hayate | konqui, you know what you don't need on yourr system | 06:20 |
ejv | konqui: if you're experienced enough you can ls /etc/ or better yet ls /etc/init.d/ and look for things you may not want, but don't go blasting away something just because you don't know what it is, then you can use apt-get purge/remove/whatever to remove stuff. | 06:21 |

XiaolinDraconis | the more important of my problems would be torchlight | 06:46 |

XiaolinDraconis | except its not a vertical crazy its horizontal | 06:48 |
XiaolinDraconis | i checked xsession errors and it said something about not being able to draw pixels to background | 06:48 |

timfrost | lenios: deb-src lines won't give you access to packages. Adding deb lines for previous releases won't automatically install from those releases, unless you force a package to be the version from that release.

TJ- | BlueWolf: That's not a good way to do it - that'll break the Ubuntu packaging | 07:14 |
lenios | timfrost, problem is not adding deb lines from older releases, but from newer releases | 07:15 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Ok :D , Then what way would you recommend I do? | 07:15 |
lenios | and adding only deb-src lines doesn't provide me sources packages | 07:15 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: OK, I have it. Open a terminal and issue this command. It'll tell us whether you've got the package available from the repositories. If its there we can install it. "apt-cache search linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4" | 07:16 |

TJ- | Ouch! 471MB for *one* program! Time programmers went back to school! | 07:22 |
timfrost | lenios: II haven't tried adding deb or deb-src lines from newer versions, because I expect the deb lines to break things. I can't account for you being unable to access newer sources. My usual method is to install build-deps from the release I am running, then apt-get the matching source, download the newer source and patch that | 07:22 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: It's not doing anything, when I enter the code it just enters it and does nothing? | 07:23 |

Ankhwatcher | the tunnel is working, because I get the password prompt, but after that I get the error I linked to | 07:39 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: Well I can't tell that on IRC ... IRC is fast even on a dial-up! | 07:40 |
Ankhwatcher | jrib: that's what I'm looking for help doing | 07:40 |
jrib | Ankhwatcher: what's your vnc setup like? | 07:40 |
Guest15048 | when i go to additional drivers it only mentions my graphics card | 07:40 |
WindBuntu | Guest15048, usually after the installation of ubuntu, ubuntu will offer a message to you concerning drivers and the suggested proprietary drivers usually for video and wireless if they apply. | 07:40 |
Ankhwatcher | jrib: I don't really remember tbh | 07:40 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: OK well the download speed is 36Kbps and it's done, what now? | 07:40 |
WindBuntu | Guest15048, what is the wireless card you are using? | 07:41 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: move that file onto a USB flash stick and plug it into the Ubuntu PC. If you're lucky Ubuntu will automatically mount the USB stick and open a file-manager window on the desktop to prove it | 07:41 |
Guest15048 | I got one for the video but nothing for the wireless came up | 07:41 |
WindBuntu | what wireless card are you using | 07:42 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Ya it will, how do I go about installing it now? | 07:42 |
jrib | !vnc > Ankhwatcher | 07:42 |
ubottu | Ankhwatcher, please see my private message | 07:42 |
TJ- | Guest15048: What does this report: "lspci -nn | egrep -i '(net|wire)' " | 07:42 |
Guest15048 | atheros i think what is the command to check ? | 07:42 |
jrib | Ankhwatcher: if you visit ubottu's page and read through the different servers, do you remember setting any of them up? Check which are installed/running | 07:42 |
Guest15048 | 1 sec | 07:42 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: We should use the Terminal to install that file, so you need to know the /path/to/directory/ where it is. I'm guessing it'll be something starting with "/media/????" Does that look to be a correct guess? | 07:43 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Well yes but I will just copy it into my downloads folder to make life easier for me. ~/Downloads/ ? | 07:44 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: If you want to, sure, do that. | 07:44 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Should I extract it? | 07:44 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: No. Just go to the Terminal, type: "sudo dpkg -iR ~/Downloads/" | 07:45 |

Guest15048 | it says FATAL: Module alx not found. | 07:48 |
iivvoo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257441/ <- I've seen the urandom error before | 07:48 |
TJ- | Guest15048: Err, that command was for BlueWolf :p | 07:48 |
iivvoo | but the standard fix (re-running virtualenv) won't work since virtualenv itself is broken | 07:48 |
Guest15048 | sorry lol | 07:48 |
nurfed | ls | 07:49 |
TJ- | Guest15048: Your device uses the ath9k driver - I was dealing with the AR9825 the other night. There are *lots* of problems with that at present, especially slow and/or dropped connections. Seems to be related to two things: it should be set to "nohwcrypt=0" and possibly also "bt_coexist=0" | 07:49 |

milindxcra | Hi .. .here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/0upAx27V | 07:57 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: My bad! With that PC not being connected to the net it hasn't received updated kernel versions. We just need to find out which version is on that PC, and then download/install the matching linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4 for it! Tell me what "uname -a" reports please | 07:58 |
jrib | milindxcra: did you recently have some sort of power outage or other issue that forced you to do a hard reboot? | 07:58 |
Ankhwatcher | jrib: I have a wierd feeling that I started a different vnc server while I was trying to restart vnc. | 07:58 |
milindxcra | yes .. I did do a hard reboot recently | 07:58 |
jrib | milindxcra: you should make sure fsck checks your partitions | 07:59 |
grecu | can eny1 help me? | 07:59 |
milindxcra | I tried reading /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File and it seems to be corrupted | 07:59 |
grecu | helllo | 07:59 |
milindxcra | ok ... i will try fsck | 08:00 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Ok I'm on it, be back shortly | 08:00 |
milindxcra | thans | 08:00 |
milindxcra | thanks | 08:00 |
WindBuntu | greco, were you connected to the internet when you installed ubuntu (wired to it) | 08:00 |
jrib | !fsck | milindxcra | 08:00 |
ubottu | milindxcra: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:00 |
grecu | i cant connect to the internet | 08:00 |
milindxcra | ok thx ubottu ... | 08:01 |
grecu | i have ubundu on me PC but i cant instal the adaptor wireles belkin f7d4101 becouse i cant fiind driver for ubundu.heelp | 08:01 |
grecu | read again | 08:01 |
konqui | milindxcra: ubottu is a bot | 08:01 |
WindBuntu | greco, when you installed the ubuntu operating system-were you conncected by a cat5 cable (hard wired) to the internet? | 08:01 |
grecu | i dont have internet on cable,just wireles | 08:02 |
WindBuntu | greco, when ubuntu is installed in the manner i mentioned, it makes wirelss driver installation simple becasue ubuntu will present you with tthe correct drivers. it can be difficult otherwise. | 08:04 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: http://pastebin.com/7840JBe7 | 08:04 |
WindBuntu | greco you may even have to get all the numbers off your wireless card and see if the driver exists and then try to install it-the hard way | 08:05 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: Arghh! I assumed the PC is using Ubuntu 12.04 Precise. That suggests it's using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. Is that correct? | 08:05 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Yes, sorry for not mentioning that earlier | 08:06 |
grecu | yes wind but i use wireles adaptor belkin f7d4101 and i cant fiind driver for ubundu | 08:06 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: OK, I need to go back an research this then. I'm not sure there are any backports of the alx module | 08:07 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Sure | 08:07 |
WindBuntu | grecu, i think the only way you will get it is while being hard wired to the net...even if it means asking someone to let you do that | 08:07 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Sorry for the inconvenience :( | 08:08 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: The latest backport of compat-wireless to Lucid is v3.3, not v3.4. I need to check if that contains the driver. | 08:08 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: OK | 08:08 |
grecu | oky wind,tank you:( | 08:09 |
WindBuntu | greco http://www.ehow.com/how_8598699_install-belkin-f7d2101-ubuntu.html | 08:10 |
WindBuntu | not sure if that will help you | 08:10 |
WindBuntu | slightly different belkin | 08:10 |
WindBuntu | but may give you some ideas...certainly is the hard way though | 08:11 |
iivvoo | ok, so, anyone can help me with python 2.7 on 11.04 not having os.urandom since the update this morning? | 08:11 |
milindxcra | Hi ... my output is at http://pastebin.com/0upAx27V ... I tried forcing filecheck on reboot as suggested but it doesn't resolve the problem ... when I try fsck on my mounted partition i get a warning ... can someone help me .. | 08:13 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: I'm afraid, with that PC being on a very old Lucid kernel (2.6.32-24) there are no compat-wireless backport packages. You'd need to update the PC to the latest Lucid kernel first, but that would still only get you to the compat-wireless v3.3, and from what I read earlier, you'd need compat-wireless v3.4 to get the "alx" driver :( | 08:13 |

BlueWolf | TJ-: OK another brick wall, so do you think there is any point for me to download and install Ubuntu 12.04? | 08:15 |
WindBuntu | greco http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1546667 | 08:15 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: So, in summary, the best solution if you could do it, would be to update that PC to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or wait until the end of the month and use 12.10 when it is released). 12.04 still needs the -cw-3.4- package. 12.10 will have the "alx" driver included since it uses kernel v3.5 | 08:15 |
diverdude | When i insert my usb-stick both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 appears. Why are 2 devices appearing? | 08:15 |
WindBuntu | greco there is a guy in that link who explains how he got his wireless going with that belkin | 08:16 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: on balance, if you're happy to upgrade, I'd recommend the 12.10 since it includes the "alx" driver. You could install the beta release now, or wait until month-end when the final release happens | 08:16 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Ok if I install 12.04, then could I do exactly what you told me to do earlier using that .deb? | 08:16 |
puddle | any ideas guys? | 08:17 |
StefanT | puddle: Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 08:18 |
puddle | yeah | 08:18 |
milindxcra | my /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File seems to be corrupt ... can anyone suggest a solution ..http://pastebin.com/0upAx27V | 08:18 |
TJ- | BlueWolf: correct. The one you downloaded. The only thing to be sure of is, the installed kernel on 12.04 would be the most recent. That isn't guaranteed if you install from a CD/DVD and can't do an update over the Internet. In that case, you'd need to go back to the archive web-site and download the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4- that matches the installed kernel version | 08:18 |
jpmh | I want to configure the unity launcher for firefox to add a parameter to the command line that it invokes in unity, how do I do this? | 08:18 |
puddle | StefanT, installed alsamixer and sound is gone | 08:18 |
puddle | it was fine before that | 08:18 |
diverdude | When i insert my usb-stick both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 appears. Why are 2 devices appearing? | 08:19 |
gnomefreak | jpmh: write a script would be my guess | 08:20 |
gordonjcp | diverdude: /dev/sdb is the whole disk, /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on it | 08:20 |
Pricey | diverdude: sdb is the entire device, sdb1, sdb2, sdb3 etc. are partitions. | 08:20 |
BlueWolf | TJ-: Ok can I download 12.04 using my torrent client, if so where can I download it from? | 08:20 |
StefanT | puddle: have a look at the audio settings in the system settings, you can also reach it via the audio menu top/right of your screen | 08:20 |
milindxcra | anyone ? | 08:20 |
gordonjcp | !anyone | milindxcra | 08:20 |
ubottu | milindxcra: 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. | 08:20 |
puddle | StefanT, i did but nothing is muted | 08:20 |
jpmh | gnomefreak: there has to be a way to modify the command that is invoked | 08:20 |

puddle | StefanT, analog is slected but even test is not working | 08:22 |

crizis | yes | 08:50 |
crizis | it does | 08:50 |
tryy3 | then thats the problem | 08:50 |
crizis | it obviously uses package manager too | 08:50 |
tryy3 | hopefully | 08:50 |
tryy3 | i guess i wait until its done | 08:51 |
buglyjoe | kiernannat87 : could you please explain what you are trying to do? | 08:51 |
ardchoille | tryy3: it's a safety issue, it prevent one installer from adding/removing packages that would conflict with what the other installer is doing. | 08:51 |
tryy3 | ardchoille thought so | 08:52 |
kiernannat87 | ok i installed java oracle 7 and it says i need to upgrade the plugin on pogo. so i got open jdk but still having the same problem i dont know how to fix it | 08:52 |
ardchoille | I think that package lock was a genius idea | 08:53 |
TJ- | kiernannat87: That might be a 'pogo' problem with it not detecting the Java plug-in in the browser, or it might be that the plug-in isn't enabled in the browser | 08:53 |
buglyjoe | kiernannat87: which browser are you using? | 08:53 |
kiernannat87 | well i contacted pogo and they said it all looked fine andi made sure it was enabled is there abetter version i can use | 08:53 |

mmm4m5m | Hi. A little help please. I have laptop with WinXP and now I have ubuntu 12.04. First question - can I use clamav to scan windows drive? Second question - imagine WinXP have virus and I am have paranoia - WinXP virus is smart and could change ubuntu file system. Can I get a checksum of all ubuntu files and recheck after using WinXP (IF/when I need WinXP at all). Or is there any software in ubuntu/linux which could help? I hope I did explain it goo | 09:05 |
mao | [deXter]: I try without quotes as root, and the result is the same | 09:06 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: are you dual booting or is this a wubi installation? | 09:06 |
mmm4m5m | I know about samhain package... but seems it is not very easy/simple | 09:06 |
mmm4m5m | cfhowlett: I hope I will use ubuntu only + virtualbox... But I am not sure yet | 09:06 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: ubuntu is virtualbox then? | 09:07 |
mmm4m5m | cfhowlett: now setup is dual boot - winxp and ubuntu fresh install done after winxp | 09:07 |
mao | [deXter]: i try edit it using vim, when i save the file, the error is ""nr_requests" E667: Fsync failed" | 09:07 |
[deXter] | mao, What about $device, have you set it to something? | 09:07 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: yes you can scan your hdd. | 09:07 |
mmm4m5m | cfhowlett: trying to switch to ubuntu but for work could need windows anyway | 09:07 |
mmm4m5m | cfhowlett: what about second question (the paranoia part :) ) | 09:08 |
mao | [deXter]: yes, the $device is the name of a pcie flash | 09:08 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: unlikey that a windows virus would target HDD but possible. Never heard of such, though. | 09:08 |
[deXter] | mao, this works for me, without any errors: echo 2 > /sys/block/sdb/queue/nr_requests | 09:08 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you... | 09:08 |
cfhowlett | !AV|mmm4m5m: | 09:09 |
ubottu | mmm4m5m:: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 09:09 |
mmm4m5m | I imagine I will need to reboot in old WinXP installation... Which seems clear but who knows... I imagine I will need to do it few times only... That is how I got this idea about "checksum ubuntu binary files" before reboot in WinXP and verify after I get back to ubuntu | 09:10 |
cfhowlett | !md5sum|mmm4m5m: | 09:10 |
ubottu | mmm4m5m:: 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 | 09:10 |

crazydip | also, why are the server torrent links on the desktop instead of server download page? makes no sense | 09:15 |
=== r30ng1n3rd is now known as prats |
mao | [deXter]: I think every device's quenefs may have its own property defined by firmware, because when i echo 2 to another device's nr_requests, the result is 4; however i echo 5 to its nr_requests, the result is 5 | 09:15 |
cfhowlett | crazydip: for desktop? | 09:15 |
crazydip | cfhowlett, for server 64 bit | 09:15 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : it shouldn't do that normally, but it might boot from the pendrive next time you restart depending on some other factors | 09:16 |
jilt007 | buglyjoe: NO , it always restarts and does nothing when going to install from bootable pendrive | 09:16 |
crazydip | cfhowlett, if i remember correctly, there used to be a link to an ftp with all the md5sum files, but i can't find that link anymore | 09:17 |
buglyjoe | what is the os you currently have installed on the laptop? | 09:17 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : what is the os you currently have installed on the laptop? | 09:17 |
jilt007 | buglyjoe: ubuntu 10.10 now want fresh install of 12.04 | 09:17 |
ardchoille | jilt007: my acer aspire one did this. I fixed it by telling grub to boot from the netbook hard drive | 09:18 |
cfhowlett | crazydip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 09:18 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : how did you create the bootable usb? | 09:18 |
jilt007 | buglyjoe: unetbootin | 09:18 |
[deXter] | mao, Possibly; you're right, the firmware + driver has to support that value too... | 09:18 |
mmm4m5m | ok... I will move to the laptop now. cfhowlett - thanks to you also!! :) | 09:18 |
cfhowlett | mmm4m5m: best of luck | 09:18 |
jilt007 | ardchoille: Netbook hard drive , not by usb ? | 09:18 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : unetbootin is good, but I have faced issues with it occasionally. the startup disk creator that comes with ubuntu almost always works | 09:19 |
TJ- | crazydip: The MD5/SHAs are listed with the ISOs for desktop/alternate/server/wubi downloads: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04.1/ | 09:19 |
ardchoille | jilt007: I used the usb stick to install ubuntu to the hard drive. after that the netbook wouldn't boot unless the usb stick was inserted. is this your issue? | 09:19 |
crazydip | cfhowlett, already found that via google, it does not have current iso md5sum (12.04.1) | 09:19 |
jilt007 | ardchoille: no the issue is only when i insert pen drive and restart the system, instead of installing ubuntu it always automatically restart the system | 09:20 |
ardchoille | ok | 09:20 |
tryy3 | iam trying to install java 6 on ubuntu 12.04 and after a while of installing it i get this error http://pastebay.net/1149031 | 09:20 |
cfhowlett | crazydip: you're right. Sorry for the delay. Behind the great chinese firewall, so throttling ensues... | 09:20 |
crazydip | TJ-, thanks that's it! | 09:20 |
crazydip | cfhowlett, no problem, thank's for trying :) TJ- pointed me to the correct page | 09:21 |
TJ- | jilt007: Have you changed the BIOS boot-order settings to include the USB device? | 09:21 |
jilt007 | TJ- its obvious yar | 09:21 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : not so much, sometimes you miss things | 09:21 |
ardchoille | jilt007: if you have the usb stick at the top of the order in bios the system will always boot from it instead of the hard drive if the usb stick is inserted | 09:22 |
mao | [deXter]: So, if the firmware defines the device's nr_requests protected, even the kernel set it rw, when fsync the value, it occurs error | 09:23 |
jilt007 | ardchoille: buglyjoe TJ- ok bye ! Have to go for Work . Thanks for valuable time! | 09:23 |
crazydip | TJ-, for future reference, where did you find that link to http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04.1/ on the ubuntu.com site? I still can't find anything on either the the desktop or server download pages. | 09:23 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : does it say anything at all before restarting? are you sure you haven't mixed up 64 and 32 bit? | 09:23 |
buglyjoe | jilt007 : bye | 09:23 |
TJ- | crazydip: I didn't look there. I always just go to the releases. site directly | 09:24 |

crazydip | thanks! | 09:25 |

TJ- | crazydip: Yeah, it does look like www.ubuntu.com has been dumbed-down! | 09:26 |
dr_willis | thats the new 'user friendly' way it seems with everything. | 09:27 |
cfhowlett | TJ-: maybe, but seriously, how many people actually RTM or do hashchecks? | 09:27 |
crazydip | TJ-, too much, especially the server page... that should have a link to md5sums :( | 09:28 |

crazydip | TJ-, yeah no problem | 09:38 |
TJ- | crazydip: It maybe that "ubuntu-website" was more for infrastructure issues and isn't looked at that much, since Ubuntu RT is used generally to track such issues | 09:38 |
Martell | cfhowlett : so i need to upgrade to 11.10 and then ugprade again to 12.04 | 09:39 |
crazydip | TJ-, i'll post 2 bugs to ubunt-webiste-content and a comment to that existing bug | 09:39 |

StefanT | e66 you can browse the Ubuntu Software Center, it contains the suggestions you got in the multimedia section | 09:48 |

crazydip | TJ-, thanks a lot! :) | 09:50 |
e66 | brontosaurusrex: it must create some sort of collection. otherwise where will search? | 09:50 |
brontosaurusrex | e66, the silly playlist? | 09:51 |

andtorg | StefanT, is unset supposed to be an option for gnome-terminal? cannot find it | 10:08 |
TJ- | captine: That doesn't look too bad. Those plug-in errors are something I see too | 10:09 |
TJ- | captine: How about this: "hciconfig" | 10:09 |
ardchoille | andtorg: "unset" as in a command? | 10:09 |
tryy3 | can anyone link me to latest java jdk 7? | 10:09 |

choct155 | Afraid my 12.04 LTS still does not boot consistently on my ASUS U46E. I have tried updating GRUB, fixing broken packages in recovery mode (which is just as unreliable as the normal boot), and editing the boot script to include the NOMODESET option. Any other remedies? (Intel® Core™ i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4; VESA: Intel®Sandybridge Mobile Graphics) | 10:10 |
tryy3 | MonkeyDust thanks :D | 10:10 |
TJ- | andtorg: Terminal is just a program; If you're writing shell-script you should look at the BASH manual: "man bash" | 10:10 |
TJ- | captine: OK, that helps. We need to find the BT device. Usually its hung on the USB bus, so how about "lsusb" | 10:11 |
vectorshelve | what is the command to empty a file ? | 10:11 |
TJ- | vectorshelve: Do you mean "remove" the file, or make it 0 bytes long? | 10:11 |
vectorshelve | TJ-: erase all contents | 10:12 |
dr_willis | choct155: whats unreliable about it. and what is it failing to do at 'some' boots? | 10:12 |
TJ- | vectorshelve: I think you mean "shred" ... try "man shred" at a terminal | 10:12 |
MonkeyDust | vectorshelve echo " " > filename | 10:12 |
ardchoille | ^^ that works | 10:13 |
ardchoille | was going to suggest that | 10:13 |
dr_willis | vectorshelve: or remove, then touch, to make a new empty file? | 10:13 |
captine | TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1257662/ nothing mentioning Bluetooth... | 10:13 |
dr_willis | rm foo && touch foo | 10:13 |
vectorshelve | MonkeyDust: dr_willis thanks | 10:13 |
smw | vectorshelve, truncate -s 0 | 10:13 |
smw | vectorshelve, truncate -s 0 file.foo | 10:13 |
choct155 | dr_willis, sometimes it gets through the boot sequence and sometimes it doesn't. when i boot in recovery, it hangs on the same screen which seems to be dominated by this error "PEBS disabled due to CPU errata" | 10:13 |
dr_willis | dozen ways to do this. ;) | 10:13 |
toshgsh | how can i know if my laptop has a perfomance problem? | 10:14 |
smw | vectorshelve, or just > file.foo, MonkeyDust's answer will not empty it | 10:14 |
choct155 | it basically hangs during the purple screen during a normal boot | 10:14 |
barang | exit | 10:14 |
smw | dr_willis, yes, a dozen ways to do it :-) | 10:14 |
vectorshelve | smw: thanks.. so many ways for the same purpose :) | 10:14 |
fly-away | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2065762 | 10:15 |
dr_willis | choct155: sounds to me like there some deeper hardware/bios/acpi/kernel issue. | 10:15 |
smw | vectorshelve, I am partial to the truncate command myself | 10:15 |
dr_willis | choct155: but if you reboot, sometimes it does work? | 10:15 |
smw | vectorshelve, have fun :-) | 10:15 |
TJ- | choct155: If the hang is related to that PEBS disabled report, it may be a CPU microcode issues. See this https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/7/145 | 10:15 |

xrosnight | :D | 10:16 |
TJ- | captine: bear with me. I'm trying to discover if that unnamed device (ID 1d57:0008) might be it | 10:17 |
choct155 | dr_willis, not sure if that comment got through. yes, it does work sometimes | 10:17 |
choct155 | i just have to keep rebooting until it doesn't get hung up | 10:17 |
choct155 | Thanks for the suggestion TJ, I will take a look | 10:17 |
captine | TJ-, thanks a mil for the help. no rush. havent had it working for months :-) just trying to finish the setup. How do you go about trying to figure that out re the unnamed device? | 10:17 |
dr_willis | choct155: have you tested with 12.10 yet? it may be something that has allready been fixed also. | 10:18 |
TJ- | captine: All USB devices have unique IDs (like PCI devices) of the form vendor:product. In that case its the "1d57:0008" which are 2 16-bit hexadecimal numbers | 10:18 |
ardchoille | Wowsers, it seems lightdm can be themed just as easily as GDM was | 10:18 |
choct155 | dr_willis: no, I was concerned that it would be even less reliable, but perhaps I should | 10:19 |
TJ- | captine: I may have something. Do you know if the BT module might be "Ralink/Motorola BC4 Bluetooth 3.0 + HS Adapter" | 10:19 |
captine | TJ-, I have no idea. let me see if i can find out on the Acer website (they pretty vague on their detail...) | 10:20 |
TJ- | captine: In fact, what make/model is the PC? That might help me more to match reports | 10:20 |
captine | TJ-, Acer Aspire 4755G i7 | 10:21 |
buglyjoe | ardchoille : could you expand on that - lightdm customization? I do know about the simple-lightdm-manager | 10:22 |
TJ- | captine: according to this its either an Atheros or Broadcom device: http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=3803 | 10:22 |
bekks | lspci / lusb should clear that up. | 10:23 |
TJ- | captine: Let's check if its a mini-PCI device. Can you pastebin the result of this please? "lspci -nn" | 10:23 |
ardchoille | buglyjoe: install lightdm-gtk-greeter then have a look at /usr/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter/greeter.ui | 10:24 |
captine | TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1257676/ | 10:24 |
ardchoille | buglyjoe: that file is an xml file allowing you to dictate everything about the ui | 10:24 |
ardchoille | same as the GDM themes were | 10:24 |
captine | TJ-, most things are broadcom, just not sure how to be sure which is the Bluetooth. | 10:26 |
buglyjoe | ardchoille : yes, i am using the lightdm-gtk-greeter myself. I find the other thing too heavy. but I didn't know about that file. I've done some basic stuff in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf. thanks :-) | 10:26 |
Kwask | Hi guys. Can you tell me how to partion running system? I have one big partition /dev/sda(/) 140GigaB, udev(/dev), tmpfs(/run), none(/run/lock), none(/run/shm). Have 6 users with shell access and in future possibly apache, etc. | 10:26 |
ardchoille | buglyjoe: yeah, that file is quite nice. you're welcome :) | 10:26 |
bekks | Kwask: You cannot partition a running system, you have to do it offline. | 10:27 |
dr_willis | Kwask: its not clear what you need either.. if you got / on a 140gb partition and swap. (the rest dont matter) | 10:27 |
TJ- | captine: I think I have found the issue (missing driver). To confirm, can you pastebin "rfkill list" please? | 10:28 |
captine | TJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1257644/ | 10:28 |
Kwask | bekks: just thought there may be a way to partition system for better security and speed - was guessing. | 10:28 |
dr_willis | Kwask: speed? put /home/ on a ssd. ;) | 10:29 |
Kwask | dr_willis: Hah, I wish I had resources for that=] | 10:29 |
bekks | Kwask: Partitioning has nothing to do with speed or security. :) | 10:29 |
dr_willis | Kwask: /home/ on its own partition or hd = easier to upgrade | 10:29 |
ardchoille | always good to have /home on its own partition | 10:29 |
nurfed | hi, each time when I restart gnome-panel. it adds new objects to it. why does this happen/ how can i stop this from happening? | 10:29 |
dr_willis | Kwask: got a 128gb ssd for $100 the other day | 10:30 |
ardchoille | ssd's are getting cheaper | 10:30 |
dr_willis | boot tome here = faster then i can sit down after hitting the power button ;P | 10:30 |
dr_willis | once i realized i had the ssd on the 3gb sata speed port.. and moved it to the 6 speed one.. it went faster. ;) | 10:31 |
llutz_ | who cares about boot-time? 5 or 35 secs once a day... | 10:31 |
Kwask | dr_willis: :-) | 10:31 |

TJ- | captine: False lead. OK. Those unknown Broadcom PCI sub-devices are all card-reader types. So I'm going back to that unnamed USB device | 10:32 |
veryape | only time i reboot | 10:32 |
llutz_ | dr_willis: you ever heard about suspend? ;) | 10:32 |
MonkeyDust | veryape same here | 10:32 |
captine | TJ-, thanks a mill for all the time you putting into this. | 10:32 |
veryape | but sure, ssd is really nice, opening libre office writer in 1,5 sec never bores me :) | 10:32 |
dr_willis | llutz_: i normally hear about it in here and the many times it fails to work properly | 10:33 |
TJ- | captine: Let's find out more about it: "lsusb -d 1d57:0008" | 10:33 |
nurfed | nobody? :/ | 10:33 |
captine | TJ-, output is "lsusb -d 1d57:0008" | 10:33 |

TJ- | captine: I expected that :p | 10:36 |
TJ- | captine: You seem to have the unique honour of being the only person in the world, that is trying to run Ubuntu on that Aspire 4755G ! | 10:37 |
TJ- | captine: OK, that device is a mouse | 10:37 |
captine | TJ-, funny thing is, it sells with freedos or something on it... no windows :-). they do include a disclaimer in the box that says it is made for Windows and not all will work with other OS's | 10:38 |
TJ- | captine: I think I need to read the "/var/log/dmesg" - pastebin? | 10:38 |
veryape | monkeydust: ok, i'll do it the old fasioned way, i can live with it now that i have a ssd ;) | 10:39 |
TJ- | captine: I'm getting to the point of suspecting either a) the device is disconnected internally, or b) there is no bluetooth hardware in the PC (b) I've seen before too - specifications for a model are inaccurate and turns out BT is an *option* that most people don't end up buying | 10:39 |
mao | how to kill a process whose status is D | 10:40 |
captine | TJ-, should i dump the full dmesg log? | 10:40 |
TJ- | captine: If you have installed pastebinit ("sudo apt-get install pastebinit") you can simply do "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" and tell me the URL | 10:41 |
captine | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257694/ | 10:42 |
TJ- | captine: On the Acer specifications page the Bluetooth devices is listed as "Communication - WPAN" and has a footnote 1 which reads "Specifications vary depending on model." | 10:42 |
TJ- | captine: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/2011/Acer/Aspire/Aspire4755G/Aspire4755Gsp2.shtml | 10:43 |
=== qos is now known as qos|away |
captine | TJ-, mmmm. so did i get shafted... and perhaps dont have Bluetooth... | 10:45 |
TJ- | Was it sold to you as having BT? It's worth opening it up and physically inspecting for a BT module. Rather like WiFi modules, it is easy to spot since it'll have antenna connections | 10:46 |
captine | TJ-, i believe it was, but purchased in the Philippines where i am currently staying, so could have been lost in translation... | 10:47 |
TJ- | captine: Does the model label on the base have extra chars/nums after the "4755g" - they usually differentiate the sub-models like that | 10:49 |

TJ- | captine: oooooo!! | 10:52 |
captine | TJ-, should have looked there first :P | 10:53 |
TJ- | captine: Well we'd still be just as confused seeing as there's nothing in the lspci output to show the hardware is there. This is what that device looks like visually, for your reference (in case you open it up to prove it is, in fact, installed and connected) http://www.ebay.com/itm/290782525450 | 10:54 |

ardchoille | I thought ubuntu releases were supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server | 11:12 |
jrib | !lts | ardchoille | 11:12 |
ubottu | ardchoille: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 11:12 |
jrib | ardchoille: non-lts versions are supported for 18 months | 11:12 |
ardchoille | ah, my bad | 11:12 |
ardchoille | jrib: thanks for that info | 11:12 |
* ardchoille needs to stick to LTS releases | 11:12 |
TJ- | captine: No, don't do that. I think I've found the PCI ID on this site (search the page for "BCM92070" . "USB\VID_0489&PID_E030" http://www.smartpctools.com/drivers/Broadcom_Bluetooth_USB_2.html | 11:12 |
prath | hi, someone an ivy bridge hd4000 on ubuntu 12.04, the i915 driver loads but x does use the vesa driver, its a 216 chipset and a Xeon 1245v2 | 11:13 |
TJ- | captine: These chipsets can be on PCI or USB buses, but that one is USB. Makes me wonder if it is a USB device on your PC, too | 11:13 |

TJ- | captine: The problem is, that page lists several alternative IDs as you search down. Not sure I trust the page, or the info | 11:14 |
jrib | karthick87: yes, I'd encourage you to upgrade to 12.04, then you don't have to worry about it until 2017 :) | 11:14 |
captine | TJ-, was about to ask about that ... | 11:14 |
ardchoille | Seriously, 12.04 was the first time everything worked out-of-the-box on all of my machines. I was kinda bored after installing it because I didn't have to do anything | 11:15 |
karthick87 | jrib: We will do that ASAP :) | 11:15 |
TJ- | captine: The reason is, the BT chipset BCM92070 has to sit behind a bus chipset such as USB or PCI, and that can often present a totally different vendor:product ID - one belonging to the board maker | 11:16 |

TJ- | captine: I may have stumbled onto a clue. I found a report of an Acer user with Ubuntu, who needed to boot Windows first and using the BT drivers to enable the hardware. That reminds me that there are some devices that hide behind others and need special driver-actions (that usually the manufacturers don't tell the Linux developers) | 11:20 |
captine | TJ-, interesting. | 11:21 |

TJ- | captine: I've just found something new. It's possible you need to use one or more options of the "acer_wmi" kernel module to poke it. I wonder if that module is already loaded? "lsmod | grep acer" | 11:23 |
cag | bazhang: It is a web crawler. | 11:23 |
bazhang | cag, so what are you expecting to extract from the .warc file | 11:24 |
crizis | nkls, likely it cannot work with 16bits, and likely your movies would flicker then too (+look like crap). | 11:24 |
bazhang | nkls, why not use unity-2d or gnome-panel (classic, no effects) | 11:24 |

crizis | nkls, and/or depending on your gfx card, install proprietary drivers if you have ati or nvidia, open source ones are very very buggy | 11:25 |
cag | bazhang: So, I don't know how to start. | 11:25 |
bazhang | cag, have you contacted the maker/maintainer of heritrix? | 11:25 |
cag | bazhang: I have seeked the manual and google, but many just told about the format of ".warc" file. | 11:26 |
cag | bazhang: Found nothing help to go on to date. | 11:27 |

jrib | fidel: if you run /usr/bin/liferea, does everything seem ok? | 11:43 |
fidel | yep | 11:43 |
jrib | fidel: ok, so now just remove that install you have in /usr/local/ | 11:44 |
fidel | jrib: last question i assume: how to redefine /usr/bin/liferea to default? | 11:44 |
jrib | fidel: ideally, you would remove the install you have in /usr/local/ | 11:44 |
fidel | jrib: i still wonder where that one come from. i remember only having tried the dev-ppa - but not installing it manually or compiling it myself at all | 11:45 |
fidel | jrib: so removing it manually from /usr/local/bin is the way to go? | 11:45 |
jrib | fidel: packages shouldn't install to /usr/local/ but maybe you had a package that didn't follow the rules. Does « dpkg -S /usr/local/bin/liferea » turn anything up? | 11:46 |
fidel | jrib: no path found matching pattern in /usr/local/bin/liferea | 11:46 |
jrib | fidel: probably just a compile you forgot about then | 11:47 |
fidel | jrib: looks like - but i still doubt it hehe. so removing it manually is the way to go right? | 11:47 |

violetina | i have an issue with ffmpeg libav , colors are wrong on xvid mpg and other codecs , as i'm a gentoo user i have no idea on how to reinstall ffmpeg in ubuntu , , 12.04 lts version btw , just try apt-get install ffmpeg ?? | 11:56 |
muelli | Kittens: bluetooth? I guess hcitool | 11:57 |
Kittens | it's corded atm | 11:57 |

Kittens | it was working a minute ago, then I unplugged it (dumb idea) to try to make bluetooth work | 11:57 |
Kittens | woe is me it didn't reconnect when I plugged it back in | 11:57 |
muelli | Kittens: USB? I don't think you can. Except unloading the driver. | 11:58 |
violetina | avconv? not libav? | 11:58 |
MonkeyDust | !find avconv | 11:58 |
ubottu | File avconv found in libav-doc, libav-tools | 11:58 |
violetina | hiow to search with apt-get? srry but i reall never used it before | 11:59 |
muelli | violetina: search what? There is apt-cache search | 12:00 |
bekks | MonkeyDust: Isnt the development of avconv far behind ffmpeg? | 12:00 |
violetina | i just want to see which version ffmpeg / avconv is installed | 12:01 |
Kittens | muelli: okay, so hcitool echos back hci0 <mac address of controller> but the bluetooth devices panel keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the device (or so it seems) any idea why that would be? | 12:02 |
MonkeyDust | bekks not sure | 12:02 |
TJ- | Kittens: You could try restarting the bluetooth daemon: "sudo service bluetooth restart" (if that fails, disable BT using the hardware RF kill switch, if the PC has one) | 12:03 |
dr_willis | you could do 'ffmpeg --version' ;) | 12:03 |
MonkeyDust | bekks the information on askubuntu seems more in favour of avconv | 12:05 |
Kittens | TJ-: the main problem here is that it flickers between detecting the device and searching for the device | 12:06 |
Kittens | so I'm just at a loss :| | 12:07 |
TJ- | Kittens: bluetooth 'flickers' ? You mean a GUI component flickers? Or the entire screen flickers? | 12:07 |

ubottu | SteveGODSchild: 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 ..." | 12:43 |
TJ- | Myckel: When you run it directly it'll run as your user, or root. The init script runs it as the user "firebird" - I bet that's the cause of the issue | 12:43 |
Myckel | TJ, config should be accessable. | 12:43 |
SteveGODSchild | it says to unmount the drive how do I do that | 12:43 |

xvilo | ndawir | 12:44 |
ndawir | xvilo | 12:45 |
SteveGODSchild | i am running ubuntu and I have a dvd drive | 12:45 |
TJ- | Myckel: check the config files in "/etc/firebird/2.5/" - the paths and other settings may give you a clue | 12:45 |
violetina | rabbi1: no i mean issue kind of solved | 12:45 |
ndawir | how to install fluxbox | 12:45 |
dr_willis | !info fluxbox | 12:45 |
ubottu | fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.2-2 (precise), package size 1036 kB, installed size 3972 kB | 12:45 |
cyrex | Hi guys!. I wanted to ask if anybody has had any DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space problems on their hardware in 12.04, 12.10 or even using 12.10 with the 3.6 kernel | 12:45 |
fidel | ndawir: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 12:45 |
SteveGODSchild | when I try to use it it says no recordable device | 12:45 |
Myckel | TJ, got it working now. purged and cleaned the setup. Reinstalled it. | 12:45 |
xvilo | ndawir, go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 12:45 |
rabbi1 | violetina: good luck | 12:45 |
TJ- | Myckel: Great :) | 12:46 |
Myckel | TJ, I guess there was some wrong config that was causing it. | 12:46 |
violetina | at least i can watch video again with sane colors ;) | 12:46 |
fidel | ndawir: afterwards consider reading a manual/tutorial about apt - as it might help making your life easier on debian-based linux distributions | 12:46 |
WhereIsMySpoon | nomnom apt | 12:46 |
Myckel | TJ, thank you. | 12:46 |

tax_on | hi guys. i have downloaded phpstorm and its a sh file and i have to start it through the terminal every time. how can i do it easier? | 12:47 |
xvilo | any, rabbi1 | 12:47 |
rabbi1 | yeah, so ? | 12:48 |

violetina | rabbi1: guess first configure a softsynth , mplayer shpould be able to play them btw | 12:48 |
SteveGODSchild | it says to try to unmount the drive how do I do that | 12:48 |
Myckel | TJ, could be. well it works now. | 12:48 |
rabbi1 | violetina: vlc ? | 12:48 |
SteveGODSchild | the program I am useing is xfburn | 12:49 |
violetina | rabbi1: use timidity | 12:49 |
violetina | rabbi1: mod files are midi files | 12:49 |
TJ- | rabbi1: Install something like "timidity" and its suggests "pmidi, fluid-soundfont-gm, fluid-soundfont-gs" - which will provide a software MIDI synthesiser | 12:50 |
rabbi1 | violetina: not interested to install move than one player for movies :( . one player for all file format would be gem | 12:50 |
violetina | rabbi1: midi is not VIDEO | 12:50 |
rabbi1 | i got timidity++ midi sequencer, will this help ? | 12:51 |
ShapeShifter499 | hi | 12:51 |
violetina | yes ;) | 12:51 |
cfhowlett | ShapeShifter499: greetings | 12:51 |
ShapeShifter499 | can I run 32 bit python and its editor IDLE on my 64 bit system? I need this because of a online class I am taking | 12:52 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: Are you using 12.04 ? | 12:52 |
rabbi1 | unauthenticated sources, ok or repair ? violetina | 12:52 |
aguitel | hwo restore pendrive to defaults settings ? | 12:52 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, yes | 12:52 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: It may be possible via the multi-libs support, but why 32-bit in particular? Does some tool only come in 32-bit ? | 12:53 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, they paste EVERYWHERE to use 32 bit REGARDLESS of your system | 12:53 |
ShapeShifter499 | lol | 12:53 |
fidel | hi - i installed 'freewheeling' on 12.04 via apt/default sources. if i try to start the app from cli i get the following error output: freewheeling: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls-openssl.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. seems like 12.04 has only libgnutls-openssl27. am i right or am i overlooking something? | 12:53 |
xvilo | bcodii how are yuo? | 12:54 |
bcodii | xvilo: I'm unable to find a response to that. | 12:54 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, oh and that it must be python 2.7 | 12:54 |
xvilo | bcodii why? i realy like you | 12:54 |
bcodii | xvilo: I'm unable to find a response to that. | 12:54 |
xvilo | bcodii, can you say anything else? | 12:54 |
bcodii | xvilo: I'm unable to find a response to that. | 12:54 |
fidel | !ot | xvilo | 12:54 |
ubottu | xvilo: #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! | 12:54 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: Ignore them! There is no reason to do that. The amd64 packaged IDLE won't be any different in terms of handling values. What they may be alluding to is, they're going to expect you to install some custom python libraries that they have only built for 32-bit | 12:55 |
xvilo | fidel what's the matter? | 12:55 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, not to sure on the 32 over 64 bit thing, shouldn't commands work the same in 64 or 32 bit python? | 12:55 |
ardchoille | it's a bot and it's not supposed to broadcast in channel | 12:55 |
xvilo | oowh :D | 12:55 |
xvilo | okey | 12:55 |
xvilo | i wil stop :D | 12:55 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, ah | 12:55 |
xvilo | please let it here! it's learning of what you are saying | 12:55 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: On Precise the "idle" package install "idle-python2.7" anyhow so that looks good | 12:55 |
xvilo | but it will not disturb you! | 12:55 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, way ahead of you | 12:56 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: If you really *have* to use 32-bit, I'd suggest creating a 32-bit Precise chroot environment and using that for any really-has-to-be-32-bit work | 12:56 |
cyrex | I have problems with "DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space" in 12.04 and 12.10 | 12:58 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, well they provided a free copy of "Enthought Python Distribution" a self contained 32/64 bit python | 12:58 |
ShapeShifter499 | so I'll use that | 12:58 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, But they didn't say you had to use it just that you shouldn't install python 3 and that you NEED 2.7 | 12:59 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, I was more wondering why 32 bit not 64 bit | 12:59 |
ShapeShifter499 | lol | 12:59 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: Strange when Python is freely available why they insist on paying for it :p Still, if you have to use 32-bit, go for a chroot (or a virtual machine) | 13:00 |
violetina | a unity question , it seems to using compiz , is there a way to edit the effects and or render settings ? | 13:00 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, if your wondering this is a free intro programming class hosted through www.edx.com | 13:00 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, oops I mean www.edx.org | 13:01 |
* violetina really feels like apt-get install kde-standard :x | 13:01 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: really!? My BF has been looking at those courses! I'll make sure of the requirements | 13:02 |
Marzata | how to install Firefox in French in Ubu 12.04? | 13:02 |
cfhowlett | Marzata: ffox should pick up the french language preference from your system settings... | 13:02 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, started monday and they are still allowing more people in | 13:02 |
Marzata | cfhowlett: it did not | 13:02 |
Marzata | after the all french install I got FF in Fnglish | 13:03 |
killer_ | how do i convert a file to .iso format (gui tool)? | 13:05 |
steveGODSchild | hi | 13:06 |
TJ- | killer_: ISO is an archive format similar to ZIP or RAR, but designed for CD/DVD/BD devices. You can 'put' files into such a file using tools like Brasero | 13:06 |
cfhowlett | Marzata: french ffox version download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-15.0.1&os=linux&lang=fr | 13:06 |
steveGODSchild | I am running ubuntu 12.04 | 13:06 |
Marzata | cfhowlett: and what about updates? | 13:07 |
steveGODSchild | how do I unmount a drive | 13:07 |
TJ- | Marzata: You probably need to do "sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-fr" | 13:07 |
Pici | Marzata: make sure that you have firefox-locale-fr installed and that that language is selected within firefox. | 13:07 |
cfhowlett | Marzata: check with firefox international version; I have no idea, but looks like TJ is on top of it. | 13:07 |
TJ- | cfhowlett: Doubt it... I just did "apt-cache search ^firefox-locale" :p | 13:08 |
ShapeShifter499 | TJ-, pretty sweet course so far, they have the first 2 weeks of material up though its only the first week and you have a mid term every month and a half or so. This is for the MIT 6.00x version which ends January 2013 the Harvard one doesn't start till the 15th and is longer ending in April iirc | 13:08 |
TJ- | ShapeShifter499: We're a bit off-topic, lets take it private | 13:08 |
ShapeShifter499 | mmk | 13:09 |
ardchoille | TJ-: ISO is a finalized file system, you can't alter it. You can, however, use apps to create a new ISO with the amendments you make. | 13:09 |

steveGODSchild | I know but it says to unmount the cd when I use xfburn | 13:18 |
datruth | Is there a video chat server that I can host on a linux system? | 13:19 |
ikonia | steveGODSchild: I suspect that maybe a missleadin error, however you should see the CD in the file manager, if you right click it you can unmount it | 13:19 |
steveGODSchild | where is file manager | 13:20 |
taz1232 | steveGODSchild:its on the toolbar on the left, clik on the folder | 13:20 |

eFfeM_work | hi, trying to get meld running on 10.04 but get this: | 13:31 |

no_gravity | ikonia: ok | 13:42 |
GRMrGecko | would that be an hardware issue? I would think so as it's using laptop hardware… | 13:43 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: what do the logs tell you in relation to this? | 13:43 |
ikonia | GRMrGecko: a modem connecting a printer and sharing it for other machines.....not an ubuntu issue | 13:43 |
mk0 | Twinlator, thanks! | 13:43 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: I'm looking through them… I don't see anything really | 13:44 |

rkhshm | i tried to poweron 12.04 on my t410 today and i get to the login screen.. the moment i enter the password i get to a log screen that gives me a few errors and goes back to log in prompt only | 13:47 |
rkhshm | how do i fix this? | 13:47 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: The kernel log shows this "Oct 2 16:57:05 ACSC-CC85 kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped." | 13:48 |
GRMrGecko | right before the boot | 13:48 |
cfhowlett | TarZach: pretty sure transmission does all of that. | 13:48 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: are the latest updates done therein | 13:48 |
rkhshm | any ideas guys? | 13:48 |
bazhang | rkhshm, patience | 13:49 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: I have security updates automatically installed, however I have not updated in awhile. | 13:49 |
TarZach | cfhowlett: Thank you very much, I'll give it a try, it does has the capability via the cli and the web version, too, right ? | 13:49 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: could you please ensure you have all the main updates and check the behaviour again | 13:49 |
GRMrGecko | ok | 13:49 |
LorSamPau_w | rkhshm, without any log nobody will help | 13:50 |
GRMrGecko | Again, it randomly happens so who knows when it'll happen again. | 13:50 |
cfhowlett | TarZach: ah the devil in the details ... transmission is gui driven. Sorry. | 13:50 |
rkhshm | LorSamPau_w: how can i collect any log when i'm not even able to log in? | 13:50 |
TarZach | cfhowlett: there is a cli version, and a web version, too, according to me. | 13:50 |
jaxyeh | What's really new (feature-wise) with Ubuntu 12.10? | 13:50 |
bazhang | transmission-cli cfhowlett | 13:50 |
cfhowlett | TarZach: then you know more than me. I've been quite satisfied with the program and recommend it. | 13:51 |
bazhang | jaxyeh, #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 | 13:51 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: These are the updates that are available and are being installed "app-install-data-partner gnome-user-guide initscripts insserv language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en libgweather-common libgweather1 libimobiledevice2 mobile-broadband-provider-info python python-launchpadlib python-minimal python-papyon software-center sysv-rc sysvinit-utils tzdata unity unity-common xserver-xorg-video-intel" | 13:51 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: most likely this is not related to actually checking your battery state, but moreover related to your video drivers. I would suggest checking what drivers are in use. | 13:51 |
bazhang | TarZach, try rtorrent | 13:51 |
LorSamPau_w | rkhshm, "a few errors" ? | 13:51 |
rkhshm | sorry no errors | 13:51 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: Which command do I use to figure out video drivers, it's been awhile. | 13:51 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: that last one: xserver-xorg-video-intel will most likely effect the behaviour and possibly resolve. | 13:51 |
TarZach | bazhang: ok. | 13:51 |
jaxyeh | bazhang: Ofc, but whats really new with it? not really sure if its worth upgrade from 12.04 right now. | 13:52 |
GRMrGecko | (I only have ssh access to these machines at the moment. | 13:52 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: lspci | less and do a search for what I can only assume an intel based video card | 13:52 |
bazhang | jaxyeh, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for that discussion | 13:52 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: onboard. | 13:52 |
GRMrGecko | ok | 13:52 |
rkhshm | LorSamPau_w: ok here is the problem... i'm able to login as guest and when i checked the /home is "full" .. but since i'm logged in as guest now. I cannot do anything.. | 13:53 |
jaxyeh | bazhang: got it, thx | 13:53 |
dr_willis | rkhshm: the /home/ partition is full or is /home/ not on its own partition? | 13:54 |
rkhshm | dr_willis: /home is full | 13:54 |
dr_willis | there is a 5% reserved you can reduce for a little extra space ;) but sounds like its time to clean out stuff | 13:55 |
rkhshm | dr_willis: yeah.. i should but from where can i remove stuff if i'm logged in as guest | 13:56 |
dr_willis | rkhshm: ive never seen one not able to login with home full. you can try logging in at the console | 13:56 |
rkhshm | dr_willis: i tried .. it just reverts back to the login prompt only | 13:57 |
dr_willis | makes me wonder if theres not a deeper issue. | 13:57 |
rkhshm | ctrl+alt+f1 did the trick | 13:58 |
dr_willis | could always reboot into the recovery/rescue mode i guess and look around | 13:58 |
dr_willis | console worked.. thats a good sign ;) | 13:58 |
dr_willis | check df -h to see what is 'full' and how big things are. :) | 13:58 |
rkhshm | dr_willis: yeah doing that.. | 13:59 |
GRMrGecko | tyler_d: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 13:59 |
rkhshm | df -h says /home -> 0% free | 13:59 |
dr_willis | how big is the home partition? | 13:59 |
rkhshm | 140G <-- /home | 14:00 |
tyler_d | GRMrGecko: very good, make a note of that. finish your updates, monitor the behavior; if it does re occur then remember escape when it occurs and gather the output; thereafter you should be able to have enough to dig in further. | 14:00 |

brightsparks | I'm trying to use chromium browser but am having difficulty getting it to use flash . Is there any correct way of getting flash plug in to work in chromium. It works perfectly in Opera and firefox. I often manually install the flash for the latter but not sure what will work for chromium browser | 14:02 |
Twinlator | brightsparks: the chrome doesn't need any flash plug, it has included. | 14:03 |
brightsparks | Twinlator: are you referring to google chromium or to the linux chromium? | 14:04 |
brightsparks | Twinlator: because there are 2 versions right? | 14:05 |
lil_Worker | hi there | 14:05 |
Twinlator | brightsparks: does it have something different? may be you can install google chrome. | 14:05 |
lil_Worker | im launching a process in the background "./blah &" and it's status changes to Stopped | 14:06 |
lil_Worker | how could i prevent this? | 14:06 |
brightsparks | Twinlator: I'm trying NOT to install google chromium. I'd prefer the linux non-google one. | 14:07 |
rkhshm | dr_willis: ok deleting a 21G vm disk did the fix ;-) | 14:07 |
OerHeks | chromium = open source, chrome = closed | 14:07 |

BluesKaj | brightsparks, I'm pretty sure chromium looks in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for the libflashplayer.so file , if you copy it there , chromium should work with flash | 14:20 |

MonkeyDust | aristidesfl merge partitions, put data back | 15:10 |
BenHur | bazhang, so i thought a nice clean 12.04 install would be nice - apart from puzlying around with grub - not shure where to put it | 15:11 |
aristidesfl | MonkeyDust can you merge partitions from different disks without raid? | 15:11 |

BenHur | bazhang, if i place the grub of 12.04 in a pratition within the extended partition - will it be recognized by the currently installed grub from ubuntu 10.04? | 15:14 |
MonkeyDust | aristidesfl i once merged two partitions without dataloss, using gparted.... technically it was possible, but it took a loooong time | 15:14 |

proc_ | Hi, I want to install grub in the mbr of a flash card and then boot onto a regular IDE HD. Will grub-install install the MBR as well? | 16:52 |
proc_ | or will it just put /boot/grub onto the flash card? | 16:52 |
WeThePeople | drsa2, chessteach, idk then | 16:52 |
wilee-nilee | proc_, are you in the OS right now? | 16:53 |
proc_ | wilee-nilee: yepp | 16:53 |
trinode | Hey, I've replaced my network card, now ubuntu is calling the new card eth1, can I make it forget it ever saw the old card and just call the new one eth0? | 16:53 |
drsa2 | sorry chesstach? | 16:53 |
chessteach | WeThePeople: Should I not be seeing that? | 16:53 |
wilee-nilee | proc_, May I ask why the flash card | 16:53 |
drsa2 | WeThePeople, chessteach, idk then means | 16:53 |
proc_ | wilee-nilee: alix2c2 card with tinybios, only supports boot from flash, but I've mounted a IDE bridge to it with an 2.5" IDE HDD | 16:54 |
mknarr_ | trinode, yep you can you just need to edit the interfaces file | 16:54 |
proc_ | so currenly I have an own modified supergrub on it but that won't make the boot automatic | 16:54 |
pietro10 | Hi. Not sure if this is the right place, but (and this happened on both Kubuntu and Linnux Mint so) | 16:54 |
pietro10 | after editing ~/.fonts.conf to set some custom serif and sans-serif typefaces, the drawing of my fonts are wrong. Hinting is wrong which causes bad letter spacing on the Ubuntu font (which appears to be fixed with hintnone but I don't know) and fonts are badly antialiased; t in a monospace font looks way too blurry. How can I fix it? Thanks. I can provide screenshots if necessary. | 16:54 |
MonkeyDust | pietro10 are you now on Mint? | 16:55 |
pietro10 | yes, but this also happened on Kubuntu witht he 12.10 ubeta update (they didn't have a clue) | 16:55 |
MonkeyDust | pietro10 both are not supported here | 16:55 |
proc_ | wilee-nilee: do you know if grub-install would be enough or is there some MBR magic I have to perform first? | 16:56 |
MonkeyDust | !mint | 16:56 |
ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 16:56 |
trinode | mknarr_, are you sure? that tells it the settings to use for each interface, not what to call each interface | 16:56 |
wilee-nilee | proc_, Not sure I don't really understand what your doing and I suspect it is not ubuntu relaTED AS WELL. | 16:56 |
WindBuntu | yesterday, out of the blue, ubuntu 12.04 froze up like an iceberg, had to turn off the power at the computer tower to use the computer. | 16:56 |
pietro10 | ok cool | 16:57 |
pietro10 | I also said this happened in Kubuntu | 16:57 |
pietro10 | so I'm assumign this is a problem with ALL ubuntus | 16:57 |
proc_ | wilee-nilee: it is ubuntu related since I've use ubuntu on the server. | 16:57 |
pietro10 | it would help if the problem was fixed everywhere, not just int two variants | 16:57 |
pietro10 | also my experience with #linuxmint-help has not been good (general cluelessness) and I already mentioned kubuntu was not a help | 16:57 |
jrib | pietro10: so boot a release of ubuntu and verify it's an issue | 16:57 |
MonkeyDust | pietro10 12.10 is not supported here, that's what i mean | 16:57 |
wilee-nilee | proc_, Cool I just don't really understand what you are doing I can't really help. ;) | 16:57 |
trinode | mknarr_: looks like /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules has something to do with it | 16:58 |
pietro10 | I would have to do that late | 16:58 |
pietro10 | r | 16:58 |

adem1 | Hi, does someone know to inform me about the xfce, i want to know, how stable it is | 17:11 |
WhereIsMySpoon | adem1: very :) | 17:11 |
WhereIsMySpoon | adem1: i used it for a long time | 17:11 |
rrstrty | 'lo all | 17:12 |
Agalloch | jrib, yes i can, but i cant remotely. ssh name@localhost works (i am connected via VNC there) but with putty client remote i cant | 17:12 |
adem1 | is it more stable than gnome and unity? | 17:12 |
jrib | Agalloch: what happens when you try? | 17:13 |
wilee-nilee | maplesoft, .mov is quicktime a apple type, not real friendly to open source, possible maybe, but sometimes even things which should work do not. | 17:13 |
grandal_prime | adem1, i install it on servers if the admin needs to have a gui | 17:13 |
Agalloch | jrib, it ask for login, i type my name. than Password: and still output is, like my pw is wrong. But i am sure that pw is ok, i tryied it on local ssh and vnz too ) | 17:14 |
grandal_prime | for file management and whatnot. but i know there are issues with it as a full blown desktop. Like for instance, playdeb.net does not work right with it. | 17:14 |
grandal_prime | it will pretty cleanly uninstall, you can always put it on and test it out | 17:15 |

netturu | hello | 17:16 |
gordonjcp | adem1: xfce is okay | 17:17 |
adem1 | i want to know because i dont like very much lubuntu's UI | 17:18 |
Elesa | if your PC is decent enough it should work fine | 17:18 |
Cyberspaceloa | adem1: I'm on a pretty fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04 and I'm liking it well | 17:18 |
grandal_prime | xfce uses thunar.. | 17:18 |
Cyberspaceloa | adem1: also, my PC is far from decent | 17:19 |
grandal_prime | file manager..its ok, i prefer nautilus. | 17:19 |
Elesa | why don't you try it in a Live USB and see for yourself? xD | 17:19 |
Mir09 | adem1: xcfe is very stable | 17:19 |
Elesa | that's the best way to find out | 17:19 |
adem1 | i tried it | 17:19 |
Cyberspaceloa | grandal_prime: I'm still deciding whether I like thunar. It doesn't deal with samba mounts as well, but I mount everything through fstab so | 17:19 |
grandal_prime | but the thing with nautilus is that there are a lot of gnome things wich really add a lot of functionality to nautilus..so i wind up back to using gnome, and so...basically unity. | 17:19 |
Elesa | like what things, grandal_prime? | 17:20 |
adem1 | So the recipe is xubuntu with nautilus? | 17:20 |

MonkeyDust | lotuspsychje better type /msg ubottu !security | 17:22 |
lotuspsychje | MonkeyDust: ok tnx | 17:23 |

BlueWolf | Hi could someone explain the difference between Alternate install CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) and Desktop CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64)? | 17:26 |
WindBuntu | shaneo http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/restore-missing-volume-button-to-system-tray-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-gnome-3-classicfallback/ | 17:26 |
MonkeyDust | BlueWolf "The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD." | 17:27 |
TheFlipside | i think the alternate install offers options like creating a RAID from the start | 17:27 |
grandal_prime | tyler_d, hmmm...maybe ill just build a blog for this as its a bit off topic. Ill get back to you on that. | 17:27 |
tsimpson | BlueWolf: the http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ page explains it pretty well | 17:27 |
tyler_d | grandal_prime: lol, gitt 'er dun.... no pun intended | 17:27 |
shaneo | WindBuntu yes i've seen that guide and as I said i dont have the feature for adding icons apparently cause none of those button combinations work for me | 17:27 |
grandal_prime | BlueWolf, ...the server disk...is for the server, The desktop disk, is for installing a desktop. | 17:28 |
tyler_d | !details | hungryhubby | 17:28 |
ubottu | hungryhubby: 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 ..." | 17:28 |
shaneo | WindBuntu as that guide states it's for Gnome3 im using Unity3D | 17:28 |
BlueWolf | MonkeyDust: tsimpson: Ok so it would be better to get Alternate install CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64)? | 17:28 |
tsimpson | BlueWolf: unless you want the advanced features, the Desktop CD is most likely what you want | 17:29 |
BlueWolf | tsimpson: Do they have anything seriously different? | 17:30 |
tsimpson | BlueWolf: the only difference is the installer, the end system installed is exactly the same | 17:30 |
tsimpson | unless you want to do LVM/RAID or OEM stuff, use the Desktop CD | 17:30 |

BluesKaj | !nomodeset | webjocky | 19:05 |
ubottu | webjocky: 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 | 19:05 |

rtaibah | Basically according to the man pages of dislocker, I should run dislocker-file but I only have dislocker in /usr/bin http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/45/idpl/18547941/numer/1/nazwa/dislocker | 19:06 |

=== entropy- is now known as [NM]entropy |
rtaibah | MonkeyDust: I know, those are just the man pages. I installed it on Ubuntu http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/ | 19:09 |
MonkeyDust | rtaibah actually, if it's not in the repos, it's not supported here, better contact the maintainer | 19:11 |
TLoT | rtaibah, you should use whatever support resources are available for that program, rather than ask here for something that's not in the repos so therefore most wouldn't see/use. | 19:13 |
Boreeas | willdabeast: Sorry, it froze my computer and I had to reboot. Following the article you gave me worked, I have sound again. | 19:14 |
MonkeyDust | Boreeas how did you do it | 19:14 |
Boreeas | However, I can't figure out how to adjust my volume anymore. The keyboard keys don't react anymore, and the volume icon on the screen disappeared, too | 19:14 |
Boreeas | MonkeyDust: Disabled pulseaudio. I guess it's using ALSA directly now | 19:15 |
webjocky | ubottu: nomodeset did the trick for me, thanks a bunch for the quick response & the link | 19:17 |
ubottu | webjocky: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:17 |
* webjocky feels like a tard and should hang out here more... | 19:18 |
kendall_ | I have been trying to get a quote for server support but no one has called or emailed. Is there a US phone number I could call? | 19:18 |
TLoT | kendall_, server support from... canonical? | 19:18 |
kendall_ | yes | 19:19 |
TheLordOfTime | kendall_, http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=41_39 | 19:19 |
TheLordOfTime | kendall_, the various types of "Ubuntu Advantage" server stuff can be found there, review them all carefully. | 19:19 |
webjocky | wow, Ubuntu server support is really priced reasonably. | 19:20 |
TheLordOfTime | i assume you'd want "advanced" for the coverage range, kendall_ | 19:20 |
TheLordOfTime | webjocky, depending on the coverage type you need, but its easier to just learn how to admin a server yourself (IMO) rather than spend lots of money per year for enterprise-class support. | 19:21 |
webjocky | TheLordOfTime, I completely agree. Was just commenting on the asking price. | 19:22 |
TheLordOfTime | webjocky, :) | 19:22 |
webjocky | BluesKaj: thanks for the nomodeset info. That did help with the inital corrupt splash screen, but after that I still have a blank screen. | 19:24 |
kendall_ | yes ubuntu advantage standard server | 19:25 |
gatuus | Hello, How can configure eth0, eth1 nics with statics ip's?? | 19:25 |
BluesKaj | webjocky, did you try the recovery kernel in grub , choose repair broken packages in the dialog , then reboot | 19:26 |
brightsparks | I want to add a pci adapter card to my computer that will allow me to connect 2 sata drives and one one ATA/IDE drive internally and an eSata drive externally. The card comes with a cd with drivers on it. Says it's compatible with windoz and Mac-I suppose the drivers will be no good for linux but can I still connect and set up the card on a linux system? | 19:26 |
webjocky | BluesKaj: haven't tried anything yet. I'm still pretty green @ Ubuntu or any *nix for that matter. Trying the recovery kernel now... | 19:27 |

jrib | Agalloch: hmm, anyway to try without putty? | 19:31 |
gatuus | jrib: another ssh client gui?? or even the oldy telnet?? | 19:32 |
BluesKaj | brightsparks, esata to sata is basically just plug 'n play , I just connected the esata to sata external drive directly to the mobo ..no card needed unless you have no sata connections on the mobo , the card will allow you to connect the IDE drive to sata on the mobo if you have them | 19:33 |
a_b0y | i want to know that too, how do you set up ssh :) | 19:33 |
ner0x | ssh? linux to linux? | 19:33 |
macmartine | How can I run a command from within a init.d script as a different user? I tried su $APP_USER -c "$CMD" | 19:33 |
a_b0y | sftp | 19:33 |
ner0x | a_b0y: You have to use sftp? | 19:34 |
tyler_d | a_b0y: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 19:34 |
jclbrt | hey all quick question about the ls command | 19:34 |
BluesKaj | ner0x, how old is the OS and the pc | 19:34 |
Rahoul | @macmartine you can use sudo -u user "command" | 19:34 |
a_b0y | i am using filezilla | 19:34 |
tyler_d | !ask | jclbrt | 19:34 |
ubottu | jclbrt: 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 | 19:34 |
ner0x | BluesKaj: PC is pretty old. OS, not sure, not the original. Not familiar enough with the innards of ubuntu to tell. | 19:34 |
Rahoul | do a file and include it in /etc/init.d then give it chmod u+x permissions and then enable it on startup using rcconf and thatts it | 19:35 |
ner0x | BluesKaj: Wait, I'll check the apt sources. | 19:35 |
a_b0y | actually which is the best simple html text editor? | 19:35 |
bekks | !poll | a_b0y | 19:35 |
ubottu | a_b0y: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:35 |
jclbrt | i've parsed the an ls output to a text file called filelist located in the same directory as where i am running ls. "ls > filelist" | 19:35 |
jrib | gatuus: you are Agalloch ? My suggestion was for him to try something other than putty :) | 19:35 |
ner0x | Lot of newbs in here today. :-) | 19:35 |
jclbrt | how ever it also displays the file "filelist" in there how do i exclude that one directory | 19:36 |
jrib | jclbrt: what is your final goal? | 19:36 |
ner0x | jclbrt: man ls. | 19:36 |
gatuus | jrib: sorry | 19:36 |
jclbrt | to create a file called filelist that has the entire output of ls | 19:36 |
webjocky | ner0x: I represent that remark! | 19:36 |
ner0x | a_b0y: Look at something called vim. Channel is #vim. Great editor. | 19:36 |
BluesKaj | ner0x, open a terminal , lsb_release -a | 19:36 |
jclbrt | but the filelist has to be in the same f folder | 19:36 |
Andr3as | simple html editor? SciTE ftw! | 19:36 |
ner0x | BluesKaj: No need to get any more info. The admins changed it to debian without me knowing. Nubs... | 19:37 |
ner0x | webjocky: You are entitled to your opinion. :-) | 19:37 |
jrib | gatuus: I just don't want to give you bad advice! | 19:37 |
gatuus | ok | 19:37 |
gatuus | well now | 19:37 |
webjocky | ner0x: I'd hope so. The internets that I come from are kinda free in that regard. | 19:38 |
gatuus | I've edited /etc/network/interfaces.. now what? service networking restart?? or something? | 19:38 |
ner0x | webjocky: There are different internets!? | 19:38 |
ner0x | :-) | 19:38 |
brightsparks | BluesKaj: er right. So you're saying I can just connect an external sata disk directly to my motherboard. Yes I suppose I could do that. But since there are only 2 sata connections on my oldish mobo it would be nice if I could add the pci card with the extra sata connections etc. which returns us to the question of the drivers...(is it possible to install windows drivers on linux using wine?)? | 19:38 |
webjocky | ner0x: haven't you hears? China has their own, Iran is starting their own... so yes! :P | 19:38 |
webjocky | *heard | 19:38 |
BluesKaj | brightsparks, I doubt you'll need any drivers , it should just pnp , like a I said | 19:39 |

BluesKaj | Boreeas, the pulaeaudio daemon will continue to run and interfere until it's conf file is purged | 20:07 |

Boreeas | BluesKaj: Yeah, the article I followed told me how to disable the autospawn. Since I had to restart anyway, pulseaudio is no longer running | 20:09 |
BluesKaj | Boreeas, ok , cqause it can be a pita | 20:09 |
BluesKaj | Boreeas, just hope you can get webaudio to work without pulse | 20:11 |
