sssilver_zykotick9: Gentoo actually00:00
zykotick9dr_willis: s/on ubuntu/on grub2/00:00
Cyberspaceloajust to prove I'm not "making it all up"00:00
dr_willisgrub1 used menu.lst i thought..00:00
dr_willisbeen ages since i last used grub1 ;P00:00
zykotick9dr_willis: lol, it does ;)00:00
jagginessCyberspaceloa, there's no official title with the word "vanilla" in it.. same thing with "chocolate"..00:01
zykotick9grub.conf only stays until the next grub-update is run (any kernel updates) so it's silly to edit.00:01
choct155has 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 works00:01
Cyberspaceloajagginess: I didn't invent it.00:02
Cyberspaceloa:)00:02
jagginessCyberspaceloa, there's no vanilla distro.00:02
jagginess-_-00:02
jagginessjust ask the question00:02
Cyberspaceloalol00:02
Hatorivanilla distro? What is it?00:02
dr_willischoct155:  asus makes a lot of differnt machines...00:02
dr_willisHatori:  vanilla is  analous to the term 'generic'  or 'standard'00:03
dr_willisvanilla ubuntu = 'a default install of ubuntu with no extra stuff added'00:03
jagginessits some noobs out there wanting to distinguish between X-Ubuntu to Ubuntu... it's not an official title of anything00:03
jagginesscommonly people use "vanilla" in kernel compiling dialog00:03
WeThePeopleis the grub the same for all linux distros??00:03
* dr_willis goes to have some Apple Pie and Vanilla Ice Cream00:04
Cyberspaceloaha00:04
dr_willisWeThePeople:  some use grub1 some use grub2.00:04
Hatorijagginess, i think you're right00:04
WeThePeopledr_willis, besides that00:04
* Cyberspaceloa goes off to find a notary to make "Vanilla Ubuntu" *official*00:04
dr_willisWeThePeople:  theres nothing stopping a disrto from doing weird stuff with grub00:04
jagginesswell ubuntu.. should be called "CHOCOLATE DEBIAN"00:05
L3topWeThePeople: you are using grub2.00:05
* dr_willis likes Butter Pecan.00:05
jagginessso it makes no more sense to bring up un-official titles.00:05
WeThePeoplel3top, yes00:05
zykotick9jagginess: ubuntu shouldn't be called anything-debian or debian-anything...00:05
Cyberspaceloajagginess: I agree with zykotick9, you should stick with the official terminology00:06
WeThePeoplel3top, 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
Hatorithats different things but with same core :d00:06
* jagginess remarks on the trending mentality of previous marks made by the advocates of "vanilla".00:06
sisookhi ya'll, im wondering if some one could help me with apt-get install-ing into a virtualenv00:06
Hatori!ot00:07
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
choct155fair point, i am trying to find the model number (new to linux)00:07
L3topWeThePeople: grub lives in MBR... they are the same animal.00:07
* jagginess thinks Cyberspaceloa is trolling00:07
Hatorisisook what you mean with virtualenv?00:07
WeThePeoplel3top, ok, can i use a diff. live cd distro to repair lucid?00:07
WeThePeoplelike 11.1000:07
zykotick9L3top: grub "lives in MBR & /boot/grub" actually ;)  grub in MBR only does nothin'.00:08
bobweaverHello 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 something00:08
sisook@Hatori i'm on a VM and using a python isolated env (virtualenv)00:08
L3topWeThePeople: 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
ActionPa1snipbobweaver: well yeah, you have 3 primary partitions and an extended partition00:09
=== luist_ is now known as luist
L3topWeThePeople: zykotick9 is correct... I was using shorthand to answer your question. Yes... you can use 1110.00:09
ActionPa1snipbobweaver: thats the max you can have00:09
Hatorisisook, i'm haven't yet learn virtualenv, maybe other people could help you00:10
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 globally00:10
bobweaverActionPa1snip,  Yeah that is what it said . should I boot live cd and move the / so that it  has more open space ?00:10
sisook2.7*00:10
bobweaveror anyother Ideas ?00:10
bobweaverany other *00:10
geek#ubuntu-us-or00:11
geekooops....00:11
ActionPa1snipbobweaver: 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 partitions00:11
=== geek is now known as Guest60239
jagginessbobweaver, that's a big mess00:11
=== Guest60239 is now known as c_smith_
bobweaverYeah I have been stearing clear of the partitioning and moving for weeks now00:12
L3topWeThePeople: I have to eat now... Warrior needs food badly... Warrior is about to die.00:12
jagginessbobweaver, 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/sda00:12
WeThePeoplel3top, ok thanks for the help00:12
L3topWeThePeople: will be back in 15 or so00:12
jagginessbobweaver, (clonezilla comes to mind)00:12
=== Kittens_ is now known as Kittens
bobweaverjagginess,  very cool thanks00:12
choct155has 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
jagginessbobweaver, and backup /dev/sda7 as well of course.. any logical partitions with data on it (no need to backup any swap partition)00:13
L3topchoct155: rather than ask an "anyone" question, just give details of the issue you having.00:13
bobweaverWell 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 would00:15
L3topbobweaver: 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
jagginessbobweaver, yeah.. if you can wipe out /dev/sda1 that wouldn't hurt :).. usually there's crap on that.. like logo installers00:16
choct155My 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 script00:16
Hatoribobweaver, i think you should check your warranty00:16
L3top!nomodeset | choct15500:16
ubottuchoct155: 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 parameter00:16
jagginessbobweaver, it's just a diagnostic bootup.. those things arent special..00:17
ssfdre38i am now getting an error with JACK audio connection kit and its not starting up00:17
jagginessbobweaver, 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
EthicI'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=EtCcRETH00:17
choct155thanks ubottu, i will give it a shot00:18
bobweaverthat 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 again00:19
jagginessbobweaver, gparted live cd can probably move /dev/sda3 (after wiping out sda1 and sda2) to the beginning of the drive00:19
jagginessbobweaver, you can do that..00:20
lsj8924emm00:20
lsj8924let me think00:20
awc737NO! 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
bobweaverjagginess,  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
awc737about ~3 hours into a fresh Xubu install, (seemingly close to after installing LAMP), I notice "Ubuntu Software Center" is missing from my main menu00:21
awc737then I notice my other applications are missing, Evolution mail, etc00:21
rinzlerdr_willis: switched to lubuntu per your suggestion yesterday, and am loving it. Thanks for the idea!00:21
awc737then, I better not restart my computer, cause I will never get back!!!!00:21
awc737please help00:21
BrendenTHi all.  Trying to install MySQL, apt-get gives me a bunch of 404.  I'm on an AWS instance.00:22
bobweaverBreadflour,  can you update ?  sudo apt-get update00:23
awc737To 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
ActionPa1snipBrendenT: did you run:  sudo apt-get update    first?00:23
ActionPa1snipBrendenT: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc00:23
xanguaawc737: xubuntu doesn't come with evolution, no idea about software center or if it has it's own Xubuntu software center as Lubuntu has00:23
BrendenTyes, sudo apt-get update gives a fair number of errors too.00:23
BrendenTlet me get the lsb ... output...00:23
bobweaverawc737,  did you look to see what is missing ?     dpkg-query -l | awk '{print $2}'00:24

ActionPa1snipBrendenT: can you ping 8.8.8.8?00:26
awc737bobweaver: what am I looking for in this result?00:26
dr_willis'self installed software'  - means what exactly?00:26
awc737software I installed myself...00:26
awc737and even Ubuntu Software Center, which I didn't install00:27
BrendenTyes I can ping 8.8.8.8...00:27

elisa87Does Skype in Ubuntu have video chatting or just voice ?00:29
awc737this is so frustrating, i just installed Xubu, then spent 3 hours re-customizing my install after this happened last time00:29
jagginesselisa87, i think skype is closed-source00:29
awc737installing all my apps, etc00:29
sssilver_muelli: after adding the boot option, still doesn't work. dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12571210/00:30
zykotick9jagginess: i know skype is closed source00:30
awc737the last thing I really remember doing was tasksel LAMP00:30
muellisssilver_:  The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist.00:30
sssilver_muelli: * http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257120/00:30
sssilver_sorry00:30
jagginesselisa87, that would be non-free repositories or maybe another multiverse repository00:31
awc737here is my only indiction of a problem:00:31
awc737E: 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
zykotick9awc737: only 1 package manager at a time is allowed00:31
muellihm sssilver_. Can you pastebin "ls /dev/input/" again?00:32
awc737no sorry nvm, thats cause I was trying something in tasksel to fix it00:32
sssilver_muelli: * http://paste.ubuntu.com/1257124/00:32
muellisssilver_: and do "cat /dev/input/mice" again, wobble the mouse and tell whether there is anything on the terminal..?00:32
elisa87jagginess but I found it in ubuntu software service00:32
sssilver_muelli: nothing00:32
elisa87how can i install windows software on my ubuntu?00:32
elisa87virtual box?00:32
sssilver_elisa87: that, or Wine00:33
awc737I am so scared to reboot my computer, but I don't know what else to do00:33
muellisssilver_: hm. can you "cat" any of those files in /dev/input, wobble the mouse and tell whether there is anything?00:33
jagginesselisa87, ubuntu softwater center includes commercial apps too00:33
awc737My ubuntu software center just disappeared00:33
jagginesselisa87, but it doesnt mean it's open source00:33
Cyberspaceloaawc737: have you determined whether the applications are still installed but maybe not showing up in your menu?00:33
muellisssilver_: i.e. cat each file seperately. One after another... Eventualyl hit Ctrl+C to abort cat.00:33
elisa87so all in all, you mean that skype on ubuntu doesn't have video chat?00:33
muellisssilver_: also do some clicking...00:33
jagginesselisa87, you'll have to try it out and see if it does the job (or maybe #skype :?)00:33
Cyberspaceloaawc737: I've noticed that some packages I've installed don't automatically show up in the Xubuntu menus00:33
elisa87by the way jagginess how can i install virtual box?00:34
zykotick9jagginess: s/ubuntu software center/ubuntu's app store/ ;)00:34
yekoms!virtualbox00:34
ubottuVirtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox00:34
awc737Cyberspaceloa: what would ubu software center be called?00:34
awc737with the command dpkg-query -l | awk '{print $2}00:34
sssilver_muelli: event3 responds to keyboard...00:34
zykotick9elisa87: fyi a lot of ubuntu software is non-free.00:34
VonWhistlerGuys, If i wanted to setup a high availability apache server, whats would use for IP level availability. I was suggested LVS. Is this the tree I want to be barking up?00:34
yekoms!virtualbox | elisa8700:34
ubottuelisa87: please see above00:34
sssilver_muelli: event2 sorry00:34
muellisssilver_: if all that doesn't yield anything, I am out of ideas. Could it be, that the mouse is defective?00:34
bobweaver!info software-center | awc73700:34
Cyberspaceloaelisa87: I have successfully video chatted with the linux native skype in ubuntu00:34
ubottuawc737: software-center (source: software-center): Utility for browsing, installing, and removing software. In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.5 (precise), package size 609 kB, installed size 4256 kB00:34
awc737yes software-center is listed00:35
awc737I can't go up to see if evolution or chromium is listed00:35
Hatorielisa87, i think you should use similiar application that was available on linux00:35
bobweaverawc737,  you could do    dpkg-query -l | awk '/software-center/ {print $2}'00:35
awc737because the long list cuts off at k00:35
Cyberspaceloaawc737: have you tried to invoke it from the cli?00:35
sssilver_muelli: none of that worked00:35
awc737Cyberspaceloa: chromium-browser is also listed, although it also disappeared from my main menu00:36
awc737how would I invoke chromium from the command line00:36
sssilver_muelli: it's unlikely that I'd have 2 defective PS/2 mice which'd behave identical00:36
dr_willischrom<tab>00:36
elisa87 Cyberspaceloa how did you find the video chat button in Skype? I cannot find it00:36
Cyberspaceloaawc737: try calling one of the missing applications from the command line and see if it runs00:36
Cyberspaceloaawc737: hopefully your menu is just misconfigured somehow00:36
muellisssilver_: 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
choct155Afraid 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)00:37

BrendenTtrying 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 center00:38
elisa87or maybe a sudo apt-get00:38
muellisssilver_: 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
awc737bobweaver: this is the second hdd I had this problem00:38
sssilver_muelli: actually, I did test the compaq mouse -- it works00:38
awc737first time, i put a new hdd, reinstalled xubu, and not its happeniung again00:38
Cyberspaceloaelisa87: okay, as long as you used apt basically. I'll run mine and take a look at it00:39
zykotick9awc737: you don't have chromium-browser installed (but that's not the command to launch it)00:39
awc737i do have it installed zykotick900:39
awc737according to the list00:39
muellisssilver_: wait a second... So your PS/2 interface does work indeed for the other mouse..?00:39
BarkingFishHi 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
awc737and whats the command to run it?00:39
sssilver_muelli: no, the other mouse does work on another pc00:39
muelliBarkingFish: ubuntu-desktop00:39
Cyberspaceloazykotick9: I just launched chromium-browser with that command00:39
dr_willis which chromium-browser00:39
dr_willis/usr/bin/chromium-browser00:39
sssilver_muelli: it's tested00:39
zykotick9awc737: sorry "chromium-browser" DOES launch it here.  my bad.00:39
awc737omg 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
BarkingFishBut 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 17600:40
muellisssilver_: For X: xinput. For the kernel: ls /dev/input00:40
bobweaverBarkingFish,  what is the DE that you want ?00:40
jagginessawc737, install "ubuntu".. "xubuntu" sux.00:40
zykotick9awc737: are you looking at "dpkg -L ..." output or "apt-cache policy foo"?00:40

=== guigui is now known as Guest32324
awc737and Unity "sux" jagginess00:40
muellisssilver_: 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
BarkingFishI tried dual dm, GDM and KDM, GDM saused some issues for me.00:41
zykotick9awc737: all DMs Suck!  enough guys.00:41
sssilver_OK, thanks muelli !!00:41
muellisssilver_: 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
Cyberspaceloaelisa87: I have a button that says "Turn on video"00:41
dr_willisawc737:  sounds like you may be having some other odd hardware issues.. ive had bad hard drive cables and controllers in the past.00:41
awc737i shouldnt have this problem just because i like xfce00:41
jagginesssssilver, sounds close to "thank s-muelli !!"00:41
awc737dr_willis: that doesnt make sense. its a solid computer. I just had the SAME problem 3 hours ago, and tried a new hdd00:42
awc737its a software/config issue00:42

dr_willisi wouldent think 'tasksel' would remove desktop apps either.00:43
awc737Hatori: 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 back00:43
jagginessEthic, apt-get update, and try the upgrade00:44
zykotick9dr_willis: i doubt tasksel removes anything - if it does, it shouldn't.00:44
bobweaverAhh 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 again00:44
dr_willis'never getting my machine back' => what exactly did happen  when the system tried to boot...00:44

choct155Afraid 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)00:46

BarkingFishthanks 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

sssilver__muelli: I replaced the mouse with the one that is tested and restarted the PC00:47
zykotick9BrendenT: 404 from "sudo apt-get update" ?  i assume.00:47

SilivrenionI'm having a problem that's stumping me, and I don't know the answer. Often randomly, the nm-applet disappears, although the service continues to run. I have to manually restart nm-applet all the time. This started a week ago or so. When starting nm-applet manually from terminal, it says it has been removed from the notification area01:07

zykotick9Skapare: good luck ;)  <i'm no help>01:28
Skaparethey should never have allowed user prompting in dpkg ... or at least provide an option:  --do-not-prompt-because-no-user-is-there01:30
FlipShawSkapare: pass it with a --force=all command01:30
SkapareOK, I'll go try that now01:30

zykotick9Skapare: installing packages is something an admin "should" be there for.... just sayin'01:31

FlipShawSkapare: sorry, I meant --force-all, not =all01:32

zykotick9Skapare: cloud = fog, lame...01:34
Skaparezykotick9: well AWS01:34

zykotick9Skapare: best of luck with ubuntu.  <don't bother replying to me, i won't see it>01:35
SkapareFlipShaw: 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 install01:35
phong_i got it01:36
* Skapare wonders what zykotick9's remark means01:36
FlipShawSkapare: I'm not sure about all that than01:36
SkapareFlipShaw: so I'm thinking maybe if I just wipe off /boot/grub first, maybe it won't ask01:36
Skaparethe /boot/grub files are not part of the debian package system install ... they are added when the grub programs do their install thing01:37
FlipShawSkapare: Sounds like a resonable theory01:37
WeThePeoplel3top, you around01:37
Skapareso if they are absent, maybe it will think it hasn't installed them01:37

postmodernzykotick9, but i am writing init.d scripts here, not upstart01:46

L3topxangua: that is not exactly correct... there are security updates... it simply will no longer be moved forward... however for the most part linux HAS been abandoned... because... it just doesn't work that well and they do not feel linux is a market which they feel justifies the cost... sadly.02:06

Frowardwhat the heck is ubuntu 12.04 LTS? is it just another name for 12.04 or is it different?02:08

ubottuLTS 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.

muelliuff dylan. well. What did you do to your system then? I mean *something* must have happened..02:09
bustacapMaking my reformat definitely worth it :P02:09
L3topdylan this is typically because of a PPA... does ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d produce a result?02:09

muellidylan: 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

dylanlast time he tried to get me to modify /sys02:17
L3topdylan: you have an amd64 install of a package and something wants the i386 version...02:18

muellidylan: wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/p/ppa-purge/ppa-purge_0.2.8+bzr56_all.deb; dpkg -i ppa-purge*.deb02:37
edgymuelli, 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
dylanmuelli: http://pastebin.com/amvw8FYK02:38
muelliedgy: 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 away02:38
L3topedgy: 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
muellidylan: What does "dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege" tell you?02:38
dylanI used sudo02:38
dylanyou can see that at the top02:38
muellidylan: no.02:39
dylanyes I did...02:39
emeka88Muelli: thanks. Checking d link now02:39
muellidylan: no. the semicolon separates commands. sudo dpkg -i ppa-purge*.deb02:39
edgymuelli, L3top; can you please hango on a bit so I reboot and try it?02:39
dylanI have never been more glad to see "processing triggers for man-db"02:40
dylannow what02:40
L3topI 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
L3topHowever there is an easy way to do it02:41

unsobillbazhang, all suddenly03:10
unsobillbazhang, anyway what can i do to make it more stable ?03:10
bazhangunsobill, there are no hidden updates. what happened to cause the issue03:10
WhereIsMySpoonL3top: 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 reinstall03:11
L3topWhereIsMySpoon: 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
awc737is it generally recommended to install Ubuntu then install XFCE, or install Xubuntu?03:11
unsobillbazhang, 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 Xorg03:11

bazhangunsobill, in the reports of crashes you just told about03:13
WhereIsMySpoonL3top: ive reinstalled linux several times03:13
Fernesttrism: 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 linux03:13

awc737which is a stupid bug. I'm considering ubu then installing xfce, instead of xubu03:19
Cyberspaceloaawc737: what I dug up is that anything unchecked in tasksell gets uninstalled03:20
awc737wtf....03:20
L3topWhereIsMySpoon: 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

L3topunsobill: 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
unsobillL3top, to be honest I'm usually running Freebsd so not fan of Windows but Win7 proved to be much stable on my hardware then 12.403:24
unsobillL3top, maybe i just need driver or patch who knows03:25

TJ-BlueWolf: That's not a good way to do it - that'll break the Ubuntu packaging07:14
leniostimfrost, problem is not adding deb lines from older releases, but from newer releases07:15
BlueWolfTJ-: Ok :D , Then what way would you recommend I do?07:15
leniosand adding only deb-src lines doesn't provide me sources packages07:15
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
magn3tsdude, it's easier to get ffmpeg installed wtih vpx in Mac with homebrew than it is in ubuntu...07:16
leniosi only get access to sources packages by adding deb-src AND deb lines07:16
TJ-BlueWolf: You should expect to see about 10 lines of ouput, listing versions of the package for different kernel versions07:16
BlueWolfTJ-: ( sudo apt-cache search linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4 ) Just making sure, not that good with commands07:17

TJ-Ouch! 471MB for *one* program! Time programmers went back to school!07:22
timfrostlenios: 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 that07:22
BlueWolfTJ-: It's not doing anything, when I enter the code it just enters it and does nothing?07:23
TJ-BlueWolf: In other words, you just get back to the command prompt on the next line?07:23
BlueWolfTJ-: Yes07:23
TJ-BlueWolf: That's OK. That simply tells you don't (yet) have the correct repository enabled. We'll sort that out now07:24
timfrostlenios: did you do an apt-get update after adding the dep-src lines (without the deb lines)?07:24
BlueWolfTJ-: Well I can't simply download it, So what can I do?07:24

TJ-BlueWolf: Ubuntu archives/repositories are simply web-servers with files organised in a particular hierarchy. So, if we can identify the exact filenames of the ".deb" packages required we can download them easily, put them on a flash storage device, and then on the target machine do "sudo dpkg -iR </path/to/files/>" and the packages will be installed07:29
BlueWolfTJ-: Ok then lets give it a go then.07:30
TJ-BlueWolf: Before we start, we need to know which architecture the target PC is using (32 or 64-bit kernel) so can tell me what this command reports at a command-line? "uname -m"07:30

ubottumilindxcra: 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 reboot08:00

WindBuntugreco 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 way08:05

grecuyes wind but i use wireles adaptor belkin f7d4101 and i cant fiind driver for ubundu08:06

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

WindBuntugreco http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=154666708:15
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 v3.508:15

WindBuntugreco there is a guy in that link who explains how he got his wireless going with that belkin08:16
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 happens08:16

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 version08:18

kiernannat87ok 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 it08:52
ardchoilleI think that package lock was a genius idea08:53
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 browser08:53

mmm4m5mHi. 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 goo09:05
mao[deXter]: I try without quotes as root, and the result is the same09:06
cfhowlettmmm4m5m: are you dual booting or is this a wubi installation?09:06
mmm4m5mI know about samhain package... but seems it is not very easy/simple09:06
mmm4m5mcfhowlett: I hope I will use ubuntu only + virtualbox... But I am not sure yet09:06
cfhowlettmmm4m5m: ubuntu is virtualbox then?09:07
mmm4m5mcfhowlett: now setup is dual boot - winxp and ubuntu fresh install done after winxp09:07
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
cfhowlettmmm4m5m: yes you can scan your hdd.09:07
mmm4m5mcfhowlett: trying to switch to ubuntu but for work could need windows anyway09:07
mmm4m5mcfhowlett: what about second question (the paranoia part :) )09:08
mao[deXter]: yes, the $device is the name of a pcie flash09:08
cfhowlettmmm4m5m: 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_requests09:08
cfhowlettmmm4m5m: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you...09:08
cfhowlett!AV|mmm4m5m:09:09
ubottummm4m5m:: 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/Antivirus09:09
mmm4m5mI 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 ubuntu09:10

choct155Afraid 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
tryy3MonkeyDust thanks :D10:10
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

dr_willischoct155:  whats unreliable about it. and what is it failing to do at 'some' boots?10:12

captineTJ-, 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_willischoct155:  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 numbers10:18
ardchoilleWowsers, it seems lightdm can be themed just as easily as GDM was10:18
choct155dr_willis:  no, I was concerned that it would be even less reliable, but perhaps I should10:19
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
captineTJ-, 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 reports10:20
captineTJ-, Acer Aspire 4755G i710:21
buglyjoeardchoille : could you expand on that - lightdm customization? I do know about the simple-lightdm-manager10:22
TJ-captine: according to this its either an Atheros or Broadcom device: http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=380310:22
bekkslspci / 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
ardchoillebuglyjoe: install lightdm-gtk-greeter then have a look at /usr/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter/greeter.ui10:24
captineTJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1257676/10:24
ardchoillebuglyjoe: that file is an xml file allowing you to dictate everything about the ui10:24
ardchoillesame as the GDM themes were10:24
captineTJ-, most things are broadcom, just not sure how to be sure which is the Bluetooth.10:26
buglyjoeardchoille : 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
KwaskHi 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
ardchoillebuglyjoe: yeah, that file is quite nice. you're welcome :)10:26
bekksKwask: You cannot partition a running system, you have to do it offline.10:27
dr_willisKwask:  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
captineTJ-, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1257644/10:28
Kwaskbekks: just thought there may be a way to partition system for better security and speed - was guessing.10:28
dr_willisKwask:  speed? put /home/ on a ssd. ;)10:29
Kwaskdr_willis: Hah, I wish I had resources for that=]10:29
bekksKwask: Partitioning has nothing to do with speed or security. :)10:29

TJ-captine: OK, that device is a mouse10:37
captineTJ-, 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's10:38
TJ-captine: I think I need to read the "/var/log/dmesg" - pastebin?10:38
veryapemonkeydust: 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 buying10:39
maohow to kill a process whose status is D10:40
captineTJ-, 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 URL10:41
captineTJ-, 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

captineTJ-, i believe it was, but purchased in the Philippines where i am currently staying, so could have been lost in translation...10:47

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

ardchoilleah, my bad11:12
ardchoillejrib: thanks for that info11:12
* ardchoille needs to stick to LTS releases11:12
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.html11:12

ardchoilleSeriously, 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 anything11:15
karthick87jrib: 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 maker11:16

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

bazhangcag, so what are you expecting to extract from the .warc file11:24

fidelhi i cant start liferea (rss reader in stalled on 12.04 from default sources) cause of a missing shared library -> libwebkit-1.0.so.2. I somehow remember that apt is able to tell me which package might contain this .so - but dont remember the details. any pointer/keyword?11:37

jribfidel: the one you installed through apt is /usr/bin/liferea, yes11:43

fidelthat explains the major part11:43
jribfidel: if you run /usr/bin/liferea, does everything seem ok?11:43
fidelyep11:43
jribfidel: ok, so now just remove that install you have in /usr/local/11:44
fideljrib: last question i assume: how to redefine /usr/bin/liferea to default?11:44
jribfidel: ideally, you would remove the install you have in /usr/local/11:44
fideljrib: 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 all11:45
fideljrib: so removing it manually from /usr/local/bin is the way to go?11:45
jribfidel: 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
fideljrib: no path found matching pattern in /usr/local/bin/liferea11:46
jribfidel: probably just a compile you forgot about then11:47
fideljrib: looks like - but i still doubt it hehe. so removing it manually is the way to go right?11:47

Kittensmuelli: 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
MonkeyDustbekks  not sure12:02
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_willisyou could do 'ffmpeg --version'   ;)12:03
MonkeyDustbekks  the information on askubuntu seems more in favour of avconv12:05

ubottuxvilo: #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-bit12:55
xvilofidel what's the matter?12:55
ShapeShifter499TJ-, not to sure on the 32 over 64 bit thing, shouldn't commands work the same in 64 or 32 bit python?12:55

TJ-ShapeShifter499: On Precise the "idle" package install "idle-python2.7" anyhow so that looks good12:55
xvilobut it will not disturb you!12:55
ShapeShifter499TJ-, way ahead of you12:56
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 work12:56
cyrexI have problems with "DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space" in 12.04 and 12.1012:58
ShapeShifter499TJ-, well they provided a free copy of "Enthought Python Distribution" a self contained 32/64 bit python12:58
ShapeShifter499so I'll use that12:58
ShapeShifter499TJ-, But they didn't say you had to use it just that you shouldn't install python 3 and that you NEED 2.712:59
ShapeShifter499TJ-, I was more wondering why 32 bit not 64 bit12:59
ShapeShifter499lol12:59
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

killer_how do i convert  a file to .iso format (gui tool)?13:05
steveGODSchildhi13:06
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 Brasero13:06
cfhowlettMarzata: french ffox version  download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-15.0.1&os=linux&lang=fr13:06
steveGODSchildI am running ubuntu 12.0413:06
Marzatacfhowlett: and what about updates?13:07
steveGODSchildhow do I unmount a drive13:07
TJ-Marzata: You probably need to do "sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-fr"13:07
PiciMarzata: make sure that you have  firefox-locale-fr installed and that that language is selected within firefox.13:07
cfhowlettMarzata: 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" :p13:08
ShapeShifter499TJ-, 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 iirc13:08
TJ-ShapeShifter499: We're a bit off-topic, lets take it private13:08
ShapeShifter499mmk13:09
ardchoilleTJ-: 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

tyler_dGRMrGecko: 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
bazhangTarZach, try rtorrent13:51
LorSamPau_wrkhshm, "a few errors" ?13:51

GRMrGeckotyler_d: Which command do I use to figure out video drivers, it's been awhile.13:51

rkhshmctrl+alt+f1 did the trick13:58
dr_williscould always reboot into the recovery/rescue mode i guess and look around13:58

tyler_dGRMrGecko: 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
dr_willisso by default about 5% or 5gb  is reserved ;) you can use the tune2fs command to reduce that %14:00

jribelementz_temp: if you want to start syndaemon regardless of what environment you pick in lightdm, then you might try ~/.xprofile (NOTE: I am not sure this still works; but I'd try this first).  If you only want it to start with fluxbox and not with unity for example, then use the fluxbox startup file you mentioned15:57

pietro10Hi. Not sure if this is the right place, but (and this happened on both Kubuntu and Linnux Mint so)16:54
pietro10after 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

MonkeyDustBlueWolf  "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
TheFlipsidei think the alternate install offers options like creating a RAID from the start17:27
grandal_primetyler_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

shaneoWindBuntu 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 me17:27

shaneoWindBuntu as that guide states it's for Gnome3 im using Unity3D17:28
BlueWolfMonkeyDust: tsimpson: Ok so it would be better to get Alternate install CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64)?17:28

webjockywow, Ubuntu server support is really priced reasonably.19:20
TheLordOfTimei assume you'd want "advanced" for the coverage range, kendall_19:20
TheLordOfTimewebjocky, 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
