| terminhell | !fuse | 00:00 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 00:00 |
| nomadFaust | stab is not the culprit | 00:00 |
| nomadFaust | Is it possible to remove the fuse module? | 00:01 |
| terminhell | yep | 00:01 |
| nomadFaust | Rmmod fuse does not remove it | 00:01 |
| nomadFaust | And it's not in modules.conf or modeprobe.conf either | 00:02 |
| nomadFaust | What do I do | 00:02 |
| terminhell | hmm | 00:02 |
| nomadFaust | Rmmod says that there is no such module | 00:03 |
| terminhell | is ubuntu using systemd? i forget | 00:03 |
| nomadFaust | Donna | 00:03 |
| nomadFaust | I don't know | 00:03 |
| terminhell | if it is, or you are, you could try systemctl disable fuse.service | 00:04 |
| nomadFaust | I'm in a root shell without /usr and other mount points loaded | 00:04 |
| nomadFaust | I don't have even apt-get | 00:04 |
| terminhell | 0,o hmmk, well... thats strange | 00:05 |
| terminhell | you may have to recompile your kernel without it? | 00:07 |
| terminhell | nomadFaust: you could try looking in /libs/modules/*ubuntu kernel*/kernel/fs | 00:09 |
| Cong | how do I use xwininfo to grab the IDs from each toplevel? | 00:09 |
| Cong | without click around | 00:10 |
| terminhell | hmm | 00:10 |
| Cong | without clicking | 00:10 |
| terminhell | looks like with -name | 00:11 |
| nith1210 | Cong you might have to use a different tool like wmctrl | 00:11 |
| nith1210 | but I'm not sure which one | 00:11 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, how would i install grub to mbr from a live cd.. i am chroot into Lucid right now | 00:11 |
| terminhell | Cong: ya, xwininfo -name nameOFwindow | 00:12 |
| nith1210 | oh, I didn't know that one | 00:12 |
| Cong | terminhell, what if I don't know the names. | 00:12 |
| nith1210 | WeThePeople: do you know which /dev/sd? is your /? | 00:12 |
| terminhell | guess? haha | 00:12 |
| Cong | lol | 00:13 |
| terminhell | Cong: man xwininfo ? | 00:13 |
| nith1210 | WeThePeople: Basically the procedure goes like this: 1. mount your / into /mnt; 2 mount --bind /proc and /sys into /mnt/proc and /mnt/sys | 00:15 |

| Cong | terminhell, I was thinking something like xwininfo -root -children | grep "window id: | 00:15 |
| nith1210 | WeThePeople: Next chroot into /mnt and du a sudo -a... or follow those instructions | 00:15 |
| terminhell | Cong: go for it, connect 5 | 00:15 |
| goddard | is there a hot key i can use to automatically put execution properties or mod +x | 00:16 |
| Cong | goddard, just a guess, and I am 100% sure there is no such thing. | 00:17 |
| jrib | should be easy to write such a thing, but then I don't see the point | 00:17 |
| jk_ | goddard, how about creating an alias? | 00:18 |
| goddard | jk_: what do you mean a system link will work like that | 00:19 |
| jk_ | goddard, you could put "alias xx='chmod a+x' into your .bashrc file, then just type "xx filename" to make "filename" executable. You would have to log out and back in, first, to make the alias active, but then it would be there forever. | 00:21 |
| Cong | this should do it, alias modexecute="chmod u+x" | 00:21 |
| jrib | Cong: the anti-alias :) | 00:21 |

| pr0metheu5 | Hey guys. How do I increase the size of my installation partition? | 00:29 |
| milehigh | http://imgur.com/JdBDq - getting this error on boot, hitting I to ignore boots into OS fine, manually running fsck does not fix the issue: http://fpaste.org/Wmky/ - any ideas? | 00:30 |
| jagginess | pr0metheu5, try gparted live cd | 00:30 |
| pr0metheu5 | I tried to using gparted (made some free space by shrinking other partitions) but it wouldn't let me increase the size of the ext4 partition where ubuntu is installed. It only went up to a few more mbs. | 00:30 |
| Cong | what about the disk utility? can't that do it? | 00:30 |
| jpmh | using 12.04 I want to change the command line that the Firefox launcher icon invokes, how do I edit what the launcher launches? | 00:31 |
| pr0metheu5 | I just have to make free space and resize the ext4 partition though, right? | 00:31 |
| jagginess | pr0metheu5, i didnt say that | 00:31 |
| jagginess | pr0metheu5, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 00:31 |
| pr0metheu5 | What do I do then jagginess? | 00:31 |
| jagginess | pr0metheu5, try gparted live cd | 00:31 |
| pr0metheu5 | I did use the livecd. | 00:31 |
| jagginess | pr0metheu5, which livecd ? | 00:32 |
| pr0metheu5 | Gparted on a liveusb. | 00:32 |
| Hatori | use gparted to resize your ext4 partition | 00:32 |
| pr0metheu5 | That's what I tried to do hatori, but it would only increase in about 6 more mbs, no more. | 00:33 |
| steveGODSchild | I need some help | 00:33 |
| pr0metheu5 | There was 15mb of free space on the disk. | 00:33 |
| pr0metheu5 | As in, unpartitoned space. | 00:34 |
| Wangpeng | hello everyone | 00:34 |
| pr0metheu5 | Maybe I need to make more free space. | 00:34 |
| steveGODSchild | I have ubuntu 12.04 and it wwont recognize my dvd burner | 00:35 |
| Wangpeng | could install ubuntu before winxp | 00:35 |
| Hatori | promotheu5, 15 mb???? What disk are you using ? That was too little for some new disk | 00:35 |
| pr0metheu5 | Hatori I mean in unpartitoned space, there are several more partitions. | 00:35 |
| pr0metheu5 | 15mb was the space that was unused. | 00:35 |
| trism | jpmh: cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/; then edit the Exec= line | 00:38 |
| Hatori | promoteu5, i don't exactly,but maybe reserved by system :d just my guessing :d | 00:38 |
| trism | jpmh: you may need to add it back to your launcher after you edit it | 00:38 |
| Hatori | i don't know exactly | 00:38 |
| jpmh | trism: thank you so much - trying that now | 00:39 |
| WeThePeople | nith1210, sda5 is linux part. | 00:40 |
| WeThePeople | nith1210, i have chroot up and running already | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: still going? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: did: sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo update-grub not nail it? | 00:45 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, i took a break.. back now | 00:45 |
| WeThePeople | no | 00:45 |
| morbo3000 | is there room for a question? or are people busy? | 00:45 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, does sda need to be specified? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: does the update-grub show kernels? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: yes, or the installation doesn't know what drive to install to, will it | 00:46 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, yeah kernels show up | 00:46 |
| Wangpeng | are android and linux same thing? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc grub2-common grub-common grub-pc-bin | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Wangpeng: Android uses a Linux kernel | 00:47 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1259149/ | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: read what I wrote, then read the command you ran. They are not the same | 00:48 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, its sda5 fyi | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: yes, but the MBR goes to /dev/sda which is why I gave /dev/sda | 00:48 |
| Wangpeng | actionparship: that means linux is improtant for a new student? | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: if you change the comamnds given and find it doesn't work. Don't be suprised | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Wangpeng: if they use android then yes | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: one again: sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo update-grub | 00:50 |
| morbo3000 | i am running ubuntu 12.04 lts. flash 11.2 r202 and firefox 15.0.1 I can't get flash to work. When I browse to a page with flash, i don't get the missing plug-in puzzle piece. just a blank white area. | 00:50 |
| morbo3000 | i appreciate any help anyone can offer. | 00:50 |
| Wangpeng | thank for ActionParsnip | 00:50 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, thanks, brb.. | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: its also not on /dev/sda5, that is the extended partition | 00:51 |
| morbo3000 | i've run flash-aid and some other fixes, to no avail. | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: actually, it will. my bad | 00:51 |
| Cong | morbo, did you install any other flash player gnash or gdef somoething? | 00:51 |
| morbo3000 | not intentionally. it's a clean install of ubuntu. i just did it two days ago. | 00:51 |
| morbo3000 | how would i check. i'm a novice.. though been around computers a long time, including the terminal. | 00:52 |
| ardchoille | morbo3000: how did you install flash? sudo apt-get flash-installer ? | 00:52 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: Could it be the browser is choosing to do HTML5 video but failing in some way? A good way to check is to move the mouse into the area and right-click. If you get the standard Firefox context menu then you know there's no special plug-in activity there | 00:53 |
| morbo3000 | i think it was already installed. in firefox it shows as a plug-in. the other factor is that chromium doesn't work either. and i believe it is supposed to be inside. | 00:53 |
| Wangpeng | ActionParsnip, can i install ubuntu befor | 00:53 |
| Wangpeng | before i install windows | 00:53 |
| morbo3000 | i can't right click inside the window. right now, i'm using youtube as the testing ground. | 00:54 |
| Scunizi | When changing ownership of a file to "root" is it simply "chown root <file.name>" ?? | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Wangpeng: you can but you will need to boot to the ubuntu liveCD and reinstate grub as the junk windows installer will blindly overwrite grub in the mbr | 00:55 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: If there's no right-click in the window, then some plugin has taken control in that area. Can you right-click outside the video area and get the context-menu? | 00:55 |
| ardchoille | Scunizi: sudo chown root:root file.name | 00:55 |
| Wangpeng | ActionParsnip, thank you, i will try now | 00:56 |
| Scunizi | ardchoille: perfect.. thanks.. then to give it read/write to root and read only to everyone else is that "chmod 611 <file.name> ? | 00:56 |
| morbo3000 | dammit. it just crashed. the whole thing. can't get anything to move but the mouse. gonna hard reboot. | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | ardchoille: oops... sorry I meant 311 | 00:57 |
| ardchoille | Scunizi: sudo chmod 644 file.name | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | Scunizi: read = 4, write = 2, execute = 1 | 00:58 |
| morbo3000 | is it best to test this in firefox or chromium? and youtube or some other site? | 00:58 |
| z127_ | hi folks, in precise, gettext-base seems to conflict with gettext-base:i386 on amd64. is there a workaround to install both? | 00:58 |
| Scunizi | ardchoille: ah..I had the numerical sequence backwards | 00:58 |
| Scunizi | ardchoille: thanks! | 00:59 |
| ardchoille | yw | 00:59 |
| Cong | morbo3000, metacafe. | 00:59 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| morbo3000 | ok. on metacafe, if i right click inside the metacafe toolbar, i get the contextual menu. but anywhere else in the window it won't right click. | 01:01 |
| morbo3000 | oh wait. not true. | 01:02 |
| morbo3000 | inside of each thumbnail, i can right-click. but not in the empty space in the screen. | 01:02 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: Some sites may disable right-click response using Javascript | 01:04 |
| Hatori | z127_ that for different arch | 01:04 |
| morbo3000 | tj-:i upgraded javascript because when i went to plugins it said that it had disabled it because it was old. | 01:04 |
| hmmwhatsthisdo | I believe Firebug has a setting to debug scripts and momentarily disable them for stuff like that | 01:04 |
| ardchoille | a vain attempt to protect items on a web page :) | 01:04 |
| hmmwhatsthisdo | morbo3000: you mean Java? | 01:04 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, thanks it worked, so i can write it down what was the command again | 01:05 |
| morbo3000 | hmmm: yes | 01:05 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: Javascript is not the same thing as Java - confusing, I know | 01:05 |
| morbo3000 | java | 01:05 |
| morbo3000 | right. my mistake. | 01:05 |
| hmmwhatsthisdo | morbo3000: Javascript is directly parsed by the browser, Java is separate | 01:05 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: Best to give the browser script language its official name : ECMA-262 :p | 01:05 |
| morbo3000 | i upgraded to the open-source version of java. now firefox doesn't give me that warning. | 01:05 |
| Cong | livescript! | 01:05 |
| ardchoille | TJ-: yeah, I often wonder why they chose that name | 01:06 |
| Cong | the noun livescript is so much nicer. | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: one again: sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo update-grub | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: just used irssi history :) | 01:07 |
| z127_ | Hatori: yeah, but most other packages can be installed i386 in parallel. | 01:07 |
| Cong | livescript describes what javascript does. | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: I use this for chroot help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video | 01:08 |
| z127_ | and aptitude install wine actually wants to include gettext-base:i386 on amd64 | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | z127_: what about with apt-get | 01:08 |
| Hatori | z127_, yes...with multiarch support, you should ensure them | 01:08 |
| z127_ | anyway, using apt-get works | 01:08 |
| z127_ | ActionParsnip: thanks | 01:08 |
| z127_ | bye | 01:09 |
| morbo3000 | so, the theory is, because i can't right-click inside of it, that a different plug-in is conflicting. correct? | 01:09 |
| TJ- | Archtivity: Orginally, it was Netscape wanted a way to have Java applets interact with the HTML page. So they decided to create a scripting language to do that. Because it was for 'scripting' Java applets they called it "JavaScript" and Sun trademarked it. Later, it was made an international standard ECMA-262 | 01:09 |
| TJ- | arrgh, that was for ardchoille | 01:10 |
| ardchoille | TJ-: Ah, nice bit of history there | 01:10 |
| morbo3000 | does the fact that it happens in both chromium and firefox help? | 01:10 |
| TJ- | morbo3000: Usually - unless ECMA-262 (ecmascript) is simply capturing the right-click event and doing nothing | 01:10 |
| Cong | morbo3000, go to the software centre and see if there are any other flash viewers installed. | 01:11 |
| Cong | firefox and has its own have of dealing with the context menu. firefox has it's down context menu event. | 01:12 |

| morbo3000 | it sure doesn't help that i have gradient bifocals and the monitor is up a little bit. gets uncomfortable trying things. definitely a first world problem. | 01:13 |

| Cong | and swfdec, and gnash, lightspark | 01:15 |
| morbo3000 | ubuntu restricted extras | 01:15 |

| unsobill | oh nevermind | 01:16 |

| morbo3000 | jeez. i uninstalled it yesterday while playing with things. we'll see what happens after i reinstall it. | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | or install chrome and use the flash plugin there :) | 01:19 |
| seednode | Know what I'd love? An apt-get frontend similar to Arch's yaourt. | 01:19 |
| seednode | Being able to search all the repos with it would be nice. | 01:19 |
| morbo3000 | actionparsnip: that doesn't work either. which is confusing since chromium is independent of the system install of flash, right? | 01:19 |
| rainfyre | Hi everyone. Is boot-repair still in the repositories? | 01:20 |

| morbo3000 | ok. flash is installed. reloaded metacafe. same thing. i can right click in the metacafe toolbar. and in the thumbnails. but not in the empty white space at the top, which i assume is flash. | 01:22 |
| zer0n | I was just wondering if one can make 12.04.01 behave like 10.04 lucid | 01:22 |

| somsip | seednode: I never use the menu. But looking at it, I don't have Firefox in there either. So it must not ad hooks, or add them in a non-standard place, as expected by debian.menu | 01:32 |

| Cong | which is not okay. | 03:14 |
| Martell | Hello, i dualboot ubuntu 11.04 32bit from win 7 64bit, i dont know what i did wrong, but looks like i cannot boot to my windows 7.. maybe i messed with the swap area or the boot loader, or i just 'formatted' the win 7 partition with ubuntu | 03:15 |
| Martell | Anyone help me :( | 03:15 |
| morbo3000 | well.. i'm a noob.. so just tryin'… | 03:15 |
| Cong | morbo3000, installing gnash now? | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | morbo3000: chrome does flash internally, not chromium | 03:16 |
| Cong | that could be true. | 03:17 |
| morbo3000 | oh. thanks actionparsnip. | 03:17 |
| morbo3000 | yes. gonna install gnash. software center doesn't have it.. so i assume i use apt-get to get it. | 03:18 |
| Cong | nope. | 03:18 |
| Cong | software centre was to have it. | 03:18 |
| morbo3000 | huh. it showed swf with it. that's not it is it? | 03:18 |
| Cong | is gnash written above it? | 03:19 |
| Martell | Here is the fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/1259301/ | 03:19 |
| Cong | gnash only supports up to flash 10. youtube still uses flash 10. | 03:19 |
| morbo3000 | gnash swf viewer | 03:20 |
| Cong | nothing else uses flash 10. | 03:20 |
| Cong | yeah. go for it. | 03:20 |
| morbo3000 | ok. | 03:20 |
| aristidesfl | HI, can I convert an existing partition to LVM? | 03:21 |
| morbo3000 | i'm wondering if i'm going to need to try an older install of ubuntu. i don't really have anything to lose because i don't have anything on here. | 03:21 |
| aristidesfl | or do I need to move the data which is there first? | 03:21 |
| Cong | I got that wrong. Gnash does not support flash 10. | 03:22 |
| WangPeng | hello,everyone. have a nice day | 03:23 |
| morbo3000 | cong: well.. my needs are very simple. my son is doing an online school. in order to take quizzes, it needs flash. that's how i realized it was missing. but i'm sure it's not using a sophisticated release of flash. though i could be wrong. | 03:23 |
| Cong | Gnash supports SWF up to some features from v9. | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | morbo3000: uninstall all flash packages and install chrome from the google website, you will then have flash | 03:24 |
| morbo3000 | oh. chrome is available on ubuntu? i thought only chromium. | 03:24 |
| Cong | I thought you got the implied message. | 03:25 |
| morbo3000 | i did. i was exclaiming my surprise. | 03:26 |
| Cong | The message before this one. | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | morbo3000: you need to download it separate | 03:27 |
| morbo3000 | ok. thanks. i'll take it from here. don't want to be getting on anyones nerves. | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | morbo3000: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?platform=linux&hl=en | 03:27 |
| Yourdaddy | reported to ubuntu support network the following bug. hopefully they can fix this | 03:27 |
| Cong | morbo3000, hows gnash coming along? | 03:28 |
| morbo3000 | cong: installed gnash, but all it did was popup a player. | 03:28 |

| somsip | tyler_d: won't that overwrite anything already in there? That might be be desired behaviour... | 03:34 |

| tyler_d | PryMaL: that's the pass for ssh'ing to the server "simba" | 03:35 |
| somsip | tyler_d: fair enough | 03:35 |
| morbo3000 | i'm instlaling chrome | 03:35 |

| PryMaL | tyler_d: yes, this exact same process worked for other servers which is the cause of my confusion | 03:36 |
| tyler_d | PryMaL: why not use seahorse to get it done though? | 03:36 |

| DJJeff | I tried installing http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions and got some make errors in ubuntu 12.04 | 03:58 |
| ztag100 | wow, I always seem to be stuck in this situation, I'm about to install ubuntu on a computer, but the new version comes out in 2 weeks, so I might as well wait | 03:58 |
| DJJeff | 12.04 is a LTS | 03:59 |
| Nith1210 | ztag100: how frequently do you enjoy reinstalling? | 03:59 |
| ztag100 | Nith1210, not about reinstalling, it's a machine that I just acquired | 03:59 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| Nith1210 | right, what I mean is if you want to use one OS for 3-5 years, you should actually use 12.04 instead of 12.10 | 04:00 |
| Nith1210 | if you like reinstalling once every 6 months, then wait | 04:00 |
| ztag100 | Nith1210: I update as soon as a new version comes out | 04:00 |
| ztag100 | also, that machine will be an experimental laptop | 04:00 |
| DJJeff | I dont like unity at all I am trying my best to disable it as much as possible | 04:00 |
| Nith1210 | Ahh, I'd wait if I were in your shoes then - it'd be easier | 04:00 |
| DJJeff | seems to be pretty difficult | 04:01 |
| Nith1210 | I use gnome-shell; I don't like unity | 04:01 |
| ztag100 | Nith1210, well, that seems to be the issue | 04:01 |
| ztag100 | but, also, I'm trying to decide if I might want to use fedora on that machine | 04:01 |
| DJJeff | Nith1210 is there a guide I can use to get gnome-shell for ubuntu 12.04 ? | 04:01 |
| dnivra | Hello! What is the command to dereference symlinks i.e. find out which is the original file the symlink points to. Eg: /usr/bin/x-www-browser is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser, which in turn in a symlink to the actual browser. So, when I run "<command> <options> x-www-browser", I should get the actual browser executable. | 04:01 |
| ztag100 | DJJeff, well, here | 04:02 |
| dnivra | i tried ls -H and ls -L but the didn't work. | 04:02 |
| ztag100 | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 04:02 |
| yekoms | ls -la | 04:02 |
| ztag100 | that should just about do it | 04:02 |
| ztag100 | :) | 04:02 |
| tsimpson | dnivra: readlink | 04:02 |
| yekoms | dnivra, use ls -la | 04:02 |
| yekoms | that will show symlinks. | 04:02 |
| tsimpson | dnivra: "readlink -f /some/link" will follow the link all the way until the real file is found | 04:03 |
| Nith1210 | DJJeff: yeah, if you use synaptic or ztag100's apt-get; it will let you choose "gnome" from the login shell | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: you can use the file command. eg: file /usr/bin/x-www-browser | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tsimpson: oh thats clever, mental note. Cheers dude | 04:03 |
| Nith1210 | ztag100: alternatively you could properly partition your home from your OS, install 12.04 for now and install 12.10 when it comes out. | 04:03 |
| Nith1210 | I prefer wipes to updates anyway | 04:03 |
| ztag100 | anyone know the main differences between 12.04-12.10? | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: newer kernel and drivers. Quantal isn't LTS. | 04:04 |
| DJJeff | gnome-shell is already the newest version. | 04:04 |
| tsimpson | ztag100: 6 months | 04:04 |
| DJJeff | do I just logout and back in? | 04:04 |
| Nith1210 | DJJeff: If you do go the route of gnome-shell though, you'll probably want to visit the extensions site as well... but play with it first | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: http://ubuntulife.net/whats-new-in-ubuntu-12-10-alpha-1/ | 04:04 |
| ztag100 | tsimpson, ActionParsnip so, no major over hauls? | 04:04 |
| Nith1210 | DJJeff: log out, on the log in screen there's a pulldown above the password box which will let you choose "gnome" instead of "ubuntu" | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: the gnome based release will be Unity3D and no 2D | 04:05 |
| dnivra | yekoms: ActionParsnip: ls -la and file only do one level of dereference-that's not exactly what I'm looking for. | 04:05 |
| dnivra | tsimpson: ah thanks for the readlink! works like a charm! | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: pretty big overhaul imho (if you don't use unity then you won't be affected) | 04:05 |
| ztag100 | ActionParsnip, doesn't sound like anything that will really affect me, will it? | 04:05 |
| ztag100 | I do use unity, but, I alwyas use 3D anyway | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: if you can run Unity3D you will equally be unaffected | 04:05 |
| ztag100 | okay | 04:05 |
| Nith1210 | ActionParsnip: heard anything about wayland? | 04:06 |
| Nith1210 | or anyone for that matter? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Nith1210: nothing tbh, not something I've looked into | 04:07 |
| carpi | I am using ubuntu 12.04. Can someone please tell me how I can remove the menu on the top right corner that says "Available, Away, Busy, Invisible, Offline"? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: later version of Unity too. bug fixes, the usual jive | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | carpi: isn't that the me menu? | 04:07 |
| ztag100 | ActionParsnip: there's also the potential debate between Ubuntu and Fedora, which I'm not quite sure about | 04:08 |
| ztag100 | I've had equally amazing experiences with both | 04:08 |
| Nith1210 | ztag100: install both | 04:08 |
| Nith1210 | one /home, two / | 04:08 |
| Nith1210 | you only need 4-8G per os | 04:08 |
| ztag100 | Nith1210: little bulky isn't it? | 04:08 |
| yekoms | i didn't like fedora. | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ztag100: debate about what? | 04:09 |
| ztag100 | ActionParsnip, well, I'm not sure what I want to use on the machine | 04:09 |

| zykotick9 | laura91: if you want to generate an xorg.conf use "sudo X -configure :1" | 04:18 |
| * jagginess says Xorg -configure (or --configure), makes a sample in ~, a slight error may occur but sample still gets generated | 04:18 | |
| morbo3000 | oh. it will remove them? i thought it wanted me to do it first. thanks | 04:18 |

| carpi | ActionParsnip: there is nothing that looks like an 'indicator me' package.. | 04:19 |
| laura91 | zykotick9: Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. | 04:20 |
| TJ- | Grrr! I've been staring at Python for too long! "sudo Xorg -configure" to write an active file to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" - without sudo to put one in your home directory as a sample | 04:20 |
| carpi | ActionParsnip: there is 'indicator-application' and 'indicator-appmenu' .. would that be it? | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | laura91: sorry i don' know. good luck. | 04:20 |
| laura91 | kthx | 04:21 |

| paulus68_ | ssh problem : I have 2 routers in my network the first gives out 182.168.178.X and the second gives out 192.168.1.X my laptop and my windows pc are both on wifi connected to the 192.168.1 router and they are both able to connect to my server which is on 192.168.178. however I am not able to connect from my server towards my laptop | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | paulus68_: can you ping the IP? | 04:26 |
| paulus68_ | ActionParsnip: I can ping the ip from my windows not from my server | 04:26 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: is your second router plugged into your first? | 04:27 |
| nina666 | anyone know solutions to my problem? funny thing is, i cant find any /dev/cdrom.. Is this the file I should be looking for? or something else? | 04:27 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: yes it is | 04:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, which port to which port? | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nina666: sudo lshw -C drive; sudo lshw -C disk will show the device names | 04:27 |
| ztag100 | alright, making an ubuntu usb now | 04:27 |
| morbo3000 | action parsnip and nith1210: it just doesn't make sense. i installed chrome. and installed flash. when i do about:plugins in chrome, it shows flash enabled. but when i load a page with flash it says it isn't available. | 04:27 |
| paulus68_ | Seven_Six_Two: standard port | 04:28 |
| Nith1210 | Is it plugged into the "uplink" or "internet" port? | 04:28 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: internet | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | morbo3000: try http://rathergood.com/blode2 | 04:28 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: what would you like to happen? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Nith1210: is it a crossover cable? | 04:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | 192 router's wan is plugged in to 182's lan port? | 04:28 |
| Nith1210 | ActionParsnip: most routers will auto-flip anyway | 04:28 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: that I can connect from my server towards my laptop | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Nith1210: I'd check your routing table on the server | 04:29 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: so the issue is that the routers "internet" port kind of acts like a hardware firewall - your first router can't talk to your second router's ip addresses | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Nith1210: you may need to add a router to the other network via eth0 (or whatever interface you are using) | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | *route not router | 04:30 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: no firewall enabled | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | paulus68_: ^ | 04:30 |
| Nith1210 | nono, I'm saying that it acts like a firewall | 04:30 |
| Nith1210 | it's the same reason why people on the internet can't connect directly to your machine | 04:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, if your .1.0 network's wan port is in the 178.0 network's lan port, it's the former's firewall | 04:30 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: easy solution, create a port forward on router 2 to the ip address and port of your laptop then connect to your router2's 182 ip | 04:31 |
| paulus68_ | Seven_Six_Two: the firewall on the 1.0 network is disabled on the router | 04:31 |
| morbo3000 | actionparsnip: rathergood.com/blode2 reveals a banner that is rotating, and a square window with the puzzle piece plugin missing. | 04:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, what's the netmask for your 178.0 network? | 04:31 |
| yekoms | how can you use 182? that isnt a private range. | 04:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, and which is your internet connected to? | 04:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yekoms, 192.168.182.0 | 04:32 |
| yekoms | you can use 10.* or 192.168.* but how can you use 182.* ? | 04:32 |
| yekoms | ohhh | 04:32 |
| yekoms | some routers dont support anything past .1.254 | 04:32 |
| paulus68_ | Seven_Six_Two: the internet is connected to 178 | 04:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yekoms, it's actually 192.168.178 but there was a typo when I joined | 04:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, ok, so the netmask on the server's network is 255.255.255.0? | 04:33 |
| nina666 | ActionParsnip; lshw...drive doesnt give me any output! lshw ... disk only displays my sata | 04:33 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: and I already tried the portforwarding no such luck comes back with connection refused | 04:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, your server is looking to the default gateway for a network not on it's network | 04:33 |
| paulus68_ | Seven_Six_Two: yes | 04:34 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: after creating the port forward, are you connecting to the ip of the laptop, or the ip of router2? | 04:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, port forwarding is the firewall, but that's disabled, right? | 04:34 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: ip of the laptop | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nina666: does the optical drive show in BIOS? | 04:34 |
| Nith1210 | The router acts as a firewall regardless of whether or not the firewall is enabled. It is the nature of NAT | 04:34 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: use the ip of router2 to connect | 04:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, you need to tell your server to look at the .1.0's wan port ip for the .1.whatever subnet | 04:34 |
| nina666 | ActionParsnip; I have to restart for that | 04:34 |
| nina666 | ActionParsnip; brb | 04:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | your .178.0 router will see .178.### for your .1.0 router | 04:35 |
| QuantumState | too bad theres no ubutu for touchpad. | 04:35 |
| Nautilus | in my new 12.04 setup (fresh and imports from 10.04) I'm mostly using apt-get to install stuff. Would this be an appropriate install method for git, or should I download from http://git-scm.com/? | 04:35 |
| Nith1210 | Nautilus: I use apt-get to install git and have never had an issue | 04:36 |
| morbo3000 | nith and action i'm giving up for tonight. thanks for the help. nite. | 04:36 |
| Nautilus | Nith1210: ok, thanks | 04:36 |
| Nith1210 | anytime :) | 04:37 |
| yekoms | Nautilus, use apt-get install, it'll work fine. | 04:37 |
| Nautilus | got it going :) | 04:38 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: what I did is Is this I created a portforward from my 178 router lets say for argument sake port 20000 towards the ip of my second router which is 178.250 towards the same port 20000, then I forwarded from my 1.0 router the port 20000 towards port 22 on my laptops ip (this procedure is working for another program that I use on my windows) however no such luck on the ssh part | 04:38 |
| redwarriors25 | how to retrieve deleted files in ubuntu | 04:38 |
| macmartine | Each time I ssh into my ubuntu server, and change to a user x, my variables are not set, such as $GEM_PATH. But if I source ~/.bashrc all is well. I tried this but it didn't work http://stackoverflow.com/questions/820517/bashrc-at-ssh-login Any ideas? | 04:38 |
| yekoms | macmartine, so when you ssh user@yourip, and su - user2, your vari's arnt set? | 04:39 |
| alien2050 | when you change to another use dont forget the dash (-) | 04:39 |
| macmartine | yekoms: correct | 04:39 |
| c_smith_ | redwarriors25, did you empty the recycle bin or use the cli program rm? | 04:39 |
| yekoms | uhm, user2 wont have the same .bashrc as user. | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | macmartine: do you have a ~/.profile file? | 04:39 |
| yekoms | you have to copy USER .bashrc to user2 ~ | 04:39 |
| yekoms | or put it in .bashrc on user2, to source user's bashrc | 04:40 |
| c_smith_ | redwarriors25, if the files aren't in your trash folder, they're gone. | 04:40 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: Is the reason you're doing this because your first router is actually your modem, and your second router is useful? | 04:40 |
| macmartine | alien2050: that did it -- what does the dash mean? | 04:41 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: yes | 04:41 |
| c_smith_ | redwarriors25, once a file is deleted, it's deleted for good. | 04:41 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: I'm using an identical setup - easiest solution is to DMZ from the first router to the second | 04:41 |
| alien2050 | it loads the specific user environment :) | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | macmartine: sudo cp /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile | 04:41 |
| alien2050 | specifically it loads .bashrc | 04:42 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: do you have a second laptop? | 04:42 |
| alien2050 | if using bash | 04:42 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: or do I need to change the listning port from the laptop for ssh to another? | 04:42 |
| macmartine | ActionParsnip: alien2050 's suggestion worked. I left out the dash when switching to the user | 04:42 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: no, the port forward should translate for you | 04:42 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: I have a windows pc a laptop and a server at my disposal | 04:42 |
| alien2050 | Oh hey ActionParsnip! | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | alien2050: yo | 04:43 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: ok, one sec, let me test something really quickly | 04:43 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: ok | 04:43 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: from the machine you're interested in, does `ssh localhost` work? | 04:44 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: if so, does `ssh -p 20000 <router-2-address>` work? | 04:44 |
| redwarriors25 | not in recycle bin | 04:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paulus68, why don't you bridge your first router and plug your server in to the other one? | 04:44 |
| redwarriors25 | any software to recover | 04:44 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: do you mean that I have to see if I can connect from the server towards laptop? | 04:45 |
| Nith1210 | no, you can do it all from the laptop | 04:45 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: oh, I wasn't clear though | 04:46 |
| nina666 | ok I tested from bios | 04:46 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: I'll use this... internet --> network 1 --> network2 | 04:46 |
| TigerFromHell | Sup baby | 04:46 |
| TigerFromHell | Im shy | 04:46 |
| Nith1210 | paulus68_: the ssh you should do is the network 1 address of your second router | 04:46 |
| nina666 | the thing is, when I put a bootable cd nothing happens although the first sequence option is the cdrom | 04:46 |
| Nith1210 | where your laptop is on network2, and network 1 contains router 1 and router 2 | 04:46 |
| nina666 | does that mean my whole cdrom device got corrupted? | 04:47 |
| blinkbox | hello, can i ask a quick question? how do i check if my computer supports IOMMU? | 04:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blinkbox, is that a cpu instruction? | 04:47 |
| paulus68_ | Nith1210: no my laptop is on network 2 behind router 2 | 04:47 |
| Nith1210 | right | 04:47 |
| blinkbox | Seven_Six_Two, it needs the support of both the chipset and the processor, but anyway, it's named AMD-Vi for AMD, and VT-d for Intel | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !ssh > lotuspsychje | 04:48 |
| ubottu | lotuspsychje, please see my private message | 04:48 |
| blinkbox | i know that cat /proc/cpuinfo can give the vt-x and the amd-v extensions, but i wonder if they can also tell if it can do AMD-Vi/VT-d . I plan to check using a ubuntu live-cd before I take a plunge into Xen | 04:50 |
| blinkbox | i'm gonna ask at Xen and KVM as well | 04:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Nith1210:what would that mean if his ssh connection says no route to host? | 04:52 |
| nina666 | but even if my drive got corrupted, how the /dev/cdrom file has gotten removed? | 04:53 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: typically it means he's trying to connect from one private network to another private network | 04:53 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: which means he's not using the forwarding, he's trying to use the ip addresses directly | 04:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Nith1210, did he create an entry in his server's routing table? | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Nith1210:but i tryed remotely ssh on his ip aswell, same router problem, but nmap shows ssh installed | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | *route | 04:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_two:howto add this? | 04:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | anything in hosts.deny and hosts.allow that might block ssh from outside of the subnet? | 04:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lotuspsychje, with the route add | 04:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lotuspsychje, but it will take a good look at the man page | 04:56 |

| Nith1210 | lost him | 04:57 |
| Nith1210 | or her | 04:57 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:bit its strange i cant connect from remote neither, same problem from his internal network | 04:57 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: the problem isn't the routing, it's the fact that you've got two layers of NAT | 04:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lotuspsychje, I thought that if the subnet for his server is 3 255.255.255.0 then all non "this subnet" packets will go to the default gateway (internet). Not all routers will let you hit the outside ip from within the network | 04:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | from within my home network, I can't access my server (connected to same router) using the domain name, unless I add it to the hosts file. | 04:58 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:but howcome i can nmap this same ip remotely and see -sV ssh on him | 04:58 |
| lotuspsychje | it has to be an ssh block specific then? | 04:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I'm not sure. are you sure it's not his .178.0 router running ssh? | 05:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh no, he's forwarded ports... | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:that was my first thought too router blocks, but he can ssh on same machine from windows perfectly... | 05:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | windows is the .1.0 laptop? | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two: he got windows laptop yes, but he wants to try the ubuntu laptop with openssh server running | 05:02 |
| === ashish_malik is now known as ashishmalik10 | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | so let me clarify. he wants to ssh in to his Ubuntu .1.## laptop from his .178.80 server? | 05:03 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:yes correctly, and i cant connect either but his windows pc can connect | 05:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | his laptops are both on the same subnet, so being able to connect is expected. | 05:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ok, can he ping the ubuntu laptop? | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:no cant ping | 05:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ok. traceroute? | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:didnt try yet, but i think also not | 05:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | maybe to give an idea of where it's trying to go. I have the suspicion it's sending packets to the internet. | 05:05 |
| redwarriors25 | is there any software how i can retrieve that file | 05:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | because of the netmask | 05:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | redwarriors25, I don't know of any point and click software to recover something you put in the trash and then deleted. | 05:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Seven_Six_Two:what else could block an ssh from just a desktop ubuntu? | 05:06 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: I've given him a solution :) | 05:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Nith1210:the 2 layers of NAT? | 05:07 |
| Nith1210 | Internet <-->router1<-->network1<-->router2<-->network2 | 05:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | routers can route that way if they know where to point. | 05:07 |
| Nith1210 | router2 provides NAT to all machines on network2 to allow access to everything on the left of router2 | 05:08 |
| redwarriors25 | i deleted the file but i cant see in the trash | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | you just need a route defining in the servr of how to get to the remote subnet | 05:08 |
| Nith1210 | router1 provies NAT for everything on the right of router2 to get access to everything on the left of router1 | 05:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ActionParsnip, yeah, that's what I've been saying! | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | ok guys tnx for help well try that | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | would that also makes sense why i can nmap him from outside | 05:09 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: if it doesn't work, you should go back to the port forwarding trick. Trouble is the port forward on router2 to his laptop was not working | 05:10 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: I'm guessing you live with him ;p | 05:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I really think he should bridge the first router, if that's possible. or disable routing at least. | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Nith1210:what i dont get is why his windows laptop can connect ssh on same wifi/router | 05:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lotuspsychje, it's on the same subnet. | 05:11 |
| Nith1210 | lotuspsychje: in that diagram I drew, everything in the same network can talk to everything else in the same network | 05:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Nith1210, where's the diagram? | 05:11 |
| Nith1210 | Seven_Six_Two: that basically what they ended up doing | 05:11 |
| Nith1210 | Internet <-->router1<-->network1<-->router2<-->network2 | 05:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Nith1210, aaw. I thought you meant a real drawing with pretty colours! | 05:12 |
| lotuspsychje | lol like etherape? | 05:12 |
| Nith1210 | Seven_Six_Two: I'd do ansi but I only just recently switched to irssi and don't know how XD | 05:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | no, like crayons and paper | 05:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | doesn't anyone use crayons any more? (Seven_Six_Two, please stay on topic. This is a support channel) | 05:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | somebody ask a question please. I don't want to do my readings. | 05:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | redwarriors25, did you shift-del? | 05:17 |
| Hatori | hey,what the problems? | 05:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Hatori, that there are none. | 05:17 |
| yekoms | how do i prevent users from using setuid(); ? | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: only sudo users and root can set that | 05:18 |
| yekoms | Wrong. | 05:18 |
| yekoms | you can write C# code to setuid on a system(); call. | 05:18 |
| yekoms | setuid( 0 ); | 05:18 |
| redwarriors25 | nope | 05:18 |
| yekoms | system("/bin/sudo"); | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: yes but the resulting code will need to run as root, won't it | 05:19 |
| SpacePoet | what's a good way to know where the link in the application menu points to??? | 05:19 |
| Hatori | yekoms ... What the problem? | 05:19 |
| yekoms | it runs the system(); as root. | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SpacePoet: grep Exec /usr/share/applications/whatever.desktop | 05:19 |
| nyuszika7h | yekoms, replace the sudo with whoami | 05:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpacePoet, what desktop? Unity? | 05:19 |
| nyuszika7h | then run the code | 05:19 |
| yekoms | i tested it, i wrote a small snippet and setuid( 0 ) to VZCTL and sudo, both ran as root | 05:19 |
| SpacePoet | Seven_Six_Two: gnome 2 | 05:19 |
| yekoms | i did 'id' | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: if you run the compiled binary as user, it wil only have user ccess | 05:19 |
| yekoms | ActionParsnip, hold on.. | 05:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpacePoet, there's a program called...alacarte, or something like that. the menu editor. | 05:20 |

| yekoms | yeah i know ActionParsnip | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: so as you so elegantly put it: wrong | 05:28 |
| yekoms | ok, 8.04 expires in 6~mo | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: so what happened to "06:26 < yekoms> i already did, but 8.04 isnt supported :x" when you know it's supported? | 05:29 |
| nyuszika7h | yekoms, that explains why system(".../sudo") worka... | 05:29 |
| nyuszika7h | * works | 05:29 |
| yekoms | ActionParsnip, i dont see them working on my "bug" since its EOL is 6~mo away | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yekoms: then report the bug for a newer release | 05:30 |

| SpacePoet | how do i decompile something? | 05:48 |
| Majere | In Ubuntu, while I had Terminal open and in front, I could scroll a background with my mousewheel. Now in Mint, when I try to scroll the Terminal minimizes. What in Ubuntu made this behavior different? | 05:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Majere, compiz plugins. | 05:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Majere, I don't know which. You can run ccsm to modify behaviour like that | 05:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpacePoet, If you're looking for something like ada pro, there really isn't anything that awesome | 05:51 |

| kandinski | hi, I am looking to install 12.04 on an external usb stick. What should I google for so I don't end up with a FAT formatted USB stick with wubi as the launcher? | 05:58 |
| redwarriors25 | just pressing delete | 05:58 |
| redwarriors25 | and theres no in the trash bin | 05:58 |
| redwarriors25 | how can i go there in gui ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 05:58 |
| somsip | redwarriors25: CTRL H in Nautilus will allow you to see .local | 05:59 |
| redwarriors25 | im using ubuntu | 05:59 |
| redwarriors25 | dnt know the version | 05:59 |
| [deXter] | kandinski, It's best not to do that | 06:00 |
| kandinski | I am at work running windows, and the window installer from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows leave me with a wubi installation | 06:00 |
| redwarriors25 | imusing 10.04 | 06:00 |
| [deXter] | kandinski, Use pendrivelinux.com | 06:01 |
| kandinski | [deXter]: not my choice. I am at work, my laptop is busted, I need a recovery usb key. | 06:01 |
| redwarriors25 | doesnt appear in ctrl h | 06:01 |
| somsip | redwarriors25: sorry - I thought that workd in nautilus too. use a terminal then | 06:01 |
| kandinski | the pendrivelinux installer keeps saying my empty 4GB USB stick has no memory | 06:01 |
| [deXter] | kandinski, I meant don't install directly to the USB, instead, copy the Live CD files to the USB and use a persistent casper file. | 06:01 |
| [deXter] | kandinski, then try LiLi | 06:01 |
| lildanger | Im using 10.04 too | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kandinski: have you tried unetbootin? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kandinski: did you format the device to FAT32? | 06:02 |
| redwarriors25 | what command | 06:02 |
| redwarriors25 | i type the ~/.local/share/Trash/ and i found expunged, files, info | 06:03 |
| kandinski | ActionParsnip: nope, I just fdisk'd it | 06:03 |
| kandinski | ActionParsnip: I was not aware that it required a working filesystem | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kandinski: then you need to format it so the filesystem is ready | 06:03 |
| kandinski | [deXter]: thanks, will look at LiLi | 06:03 |
| kandinski | ActionParsnip: I see | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kandinski: yes, the files are extracted from the ISO and copied to the USB | 06:03 |
| Majere | Seven_Six_Two: I got the CompizConfig Settings Manager, and I'm a little overwhelmed. I just want to prevent Terminal from minimizing when I scroll a background window. What exactly here can help me? | 06:03 |
| somsip | Seven_SixTwo: FYI, insync seems to be working fine. https://forums.insynchq.com/discussion/1363/insync-for-linux-beta/p1 | 06:04 |
| kandinski | [deXter]: LiLi is like pendrivelinux, it wants me to have a FAT partition | 06:05 |
| kandinski | ok then, FAT it is (grumble) | 06:05 |
| [deXter] | kandinski, It won't matter because the filesystem will be cached in RAM and all changes will be stored on EXT | 06:05 |
| [deXter] | so actually FAT is quite suitable because it will have a low overhead | 06:06 |
| [deXter] | If you're really that bothered though, you can use ext4 but you'll just have to copy the files manually, and use extlinux instead of syslinux | 06:06 |
| kandinski | [deXter]: fair enough. Thanks ActionParsnip too | 06:07 |

| cdoublejj | i'm not too familiar with linux but, i did figure out the default drivers are killing my system. apperntly if i don't lock them they will update. | 06:26 |
| crimsonmane | Go instead to the Synaptic Package Manager | 06:26 |
| crimsonmane | cdoublejj: ^ that was for you | 06:26 |
| a_b0y | so is ubuntu based on debian unstable? | 06:27 |
| crimsonmane | no | 06:27 |
| crimsonmane | actually im not sure | 06:27 |
| cdoublejj | synaptic doens't list, nvidia-current=295.33. I did how ever go online and downlaod the install from launchpad | 06:27 |
| crimsonmane | i thought it was based on stable. | 06:27 |
| a_b0y | but ubuntu ltr is based on debain testing right? | 06:27 |
| cdoublejj | ubuntu is based on stable as far as i might guess/know | 06:28 |

| ashishmalik10 | dev_: gcc first.c -o first | 06:35 |
| ashishmalik10 | dev_: to run the compiled file : ./first | 06:35 |
| dev_ | alright | 06:35 |
| cdoublejj | okay so this might sound dumb but, how do i lock packages in the package manager? | 06:37 |
| ardchoille | cdoublejj: do you mean !pinning ? | 06:39 |
| cdoublejj | might have figured it out | 06:39 |

| ardchoille | SpacePoet: that's what I thought you were going to do | 07:47 |
| SpacePoet | ardchoille: no i want to clone from wubi | 07:47 |
| ardchoille | yes, you start with a clean system on real partitions, much better than wubi | 07:47 |
| SpacePoet | ardchoille: so everything is the same | 07:47 |
| ardchoille | SpacePoet: you can run the following to save a list of installed apps: | 07:48 |
| ardchoille | dpkg --get-selections >> /path/file.txt | 07:48 |
| ardchoille | SpacePoet: then reinstall those apps on a new system with: dpkg --set-selections | 07:49 |
| dev_ | ^ | 07:49 |
| ardchoille | this way you don't have to memorize each package you install or maintain an install file | 07:50 |
| MonkeyDust | SpacePoet what ardchoille says... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1259524/ | 07:50 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: thank you | 07:50 |
| MonkeyDust | ardchoille I do that with each update, in a custom script | 07:51 |
| ardchoille | SpacePoet: MonkeyDust 's example means "cloning" a system is as easy as a couple of commands | 07:51 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: I should write a script like that, just in case | 07:52 |

| dev_ | so i am forced to use linux - work, windows - play | 07:58 |
| ardchoille | ee_cc: rather than whine about it why not ask how to fix the issue? | 07:59 |
| MonkeyDust | dev_ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/stick_to_windows/hardcore_gamer/ | 07:59 |
| dev_ | ee_cc i believe you can email them, ubuntudoesnotcare@ubuntu.com | 07:59 |
| ee_cc | it's a bug in the UI... there's little I can do | 07:59 |
| ee_cc | when a window (say the therminal) is full screen | 07:59 |
| ardchoille | ee_cc: you can use a different DE or WM. Or install gnome-shell and use gnome classic as a fallback | 08:00 |
| ee_cc | and you press the button to get the - what is it called - the dash? | 08:00 |
| dev_ | monkey what was that link about | 08:01 |
| dev_ | ? | 08:01 |
| dev_ | I already knew this :p | 08:01 |
| ee_cc | let me see | 08:01 |
| ardchoille | ee_cc: what does the full screen terminal do when you invoce the dash? | 08:02 |
| ardchoille | s/invoce/invoke/ | 08:02 |
| dev_ | come with a command prompt | 08:02 |
| dev_ | sudu su | 08:02 |
| ardchoille | dev_: sudo -i is better | 08:03 |
| ee_cc | ah sorry... well the dash comes up (stealing focus) but the console stays on top, hiding the dash | 08:03 |
| dev_ | :( i wish i could just use commands in irssi to | 08:03 |
| dev_ | then it would be a all in one | 08:03 |

| ifndefx | hi, I've just installed ubuntu 12.04. I have 4 devices on bluetooth that all worked perfectly prior to the upgrade. However, now I'm striggling to get them to work. 1) Apple Wireless Keyboard - this doesn't stay connected. I have to hidd --connect in order to just get it to work, similar issue with my Apple wireless mouse. Now, finally I have a wireless headset which is giving be Authentication Rejected, and cannot establish a connection. | 08:06 |
| ifndefx | I started with the default bluetooth manager and then I have moved on to the blueman... both similar results. Any pointers on how I can get keyboard to be stable where I dont have to run hidd--connect x at each login and get my headset to work ? | 08:06 |
| dev_ | same doesnt work | 08:07 |
| dev_ | Apple wireless keyboard :0 | 08:07 |
| ardchoille | then your env is borked | 08:07 |
| KsM | dev_: what /exactly/ are you doing | 08:07 |
| ardchoille | ah | 08:07 |
| ifndefx | dev_: are you referring to my bluetooth questions ? | 08:07 |
| dev_ | KsM i'm /not/ sure | 08:07 |
| dev_ | yes ifndefx | 08:08 |
| ifndefx | bugger | 08:08 |
| dev_ | No ifndefx | 08:08 |
| dev_ | Nothing, May i ask though why you updated? | 08:08 |
| ifndefx | No particular reason, just thought of keeping the system updated. Wasn't expecting bluetooth to become unstable. | 08:10 |

| subb1 | Hi all | 08:11 |
| ardchoille | hi subb1 | 08:11 |
| subb1 | Apart from ssh &autossh, I would like to know of applications which supports 'reverse tunnelling' in a client/server model. 'stunnel' is of this model but does not support reverse tunnelling i.e. from an external host on Internet to a host behind NAT. | 08:11 |
| Martell | Please help me :( , been fixing this for weeks but no solution, i just wanna know if my windows 7 is still there or its been formatted with my ubuntu. [boot repair summary http://paste.ubuntu.com/1259534/ ] and [gpart screenshot http://i.imgur.com/5OWNd.png] | 08:12 |
| ardchoille | Martell: is that a netbook? | 08:16 |
| Martell | ardchoille, desktop intel i3 500gb HDD | 08:16 |
| Martell | actually its preinstalled with windows 7 64bit, tried to dualboot it with ubuntu, now im on trouble :( | 08:17 |
| DJJeff | I'm starting to notice unity is part of compiz | 08:17 |
| DJJeff | and compiz is starting to crash an awful lot | 08:17 |
| ardchoille | Martell: it looks like your Windows 7 is gone. However, it looks like your HDD has a partition that holds the Windows install software so it would be easy to restore | 08:17 |
| ardchoille | Martell: however, if you do a restore then Windows will wipe Ubuntu because Windows always wants to be the first OS | 08:17 |
| Martell | ardchoille, i dont care if my windows 7 is gone, how bout the files on it? :( | 08:17 |
| MonkeyDust | DJJeff you're free to not use unity/compiz | 08:18 |
| ardchoille | Martell: they appear to be gone as well, notice the unallocated space at the end of the part table | 08:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:its a good moment to switch to ubuntu singleboot | 08:18 |
| ardchoille | Martell: lotuspsychje has an excellent point | 08:18 |
| Martell | so its gone T_T | 08:19 |
| === Duality is now known as Duality_school | ||
| DJJeff | would using an earlier version of compiz help? or using a config that disables unity | 08:19 |
| Martell | so how do i get that unnallocated space back, i want to use it, maybe i wanna install windows 7 on it back | 08:19 |
| lotuspsychje | DJJeff:did you try login into unity2d? | 08:19 |
| DJJeff | im on gnome-classic at the moment | 08:20 |
| ardchoille | DJJeff: Unity is its own desktop environment that uses compiz, they are separate entities | 08:20 |
| DJJeff | logging into ccsm (compiz manager) there is a "unity" profile | 08:21 |
| ifndefx | you might still be able to recover some one the files if it is just unallocated | 08:21 |
| ardchoille | Martell: if you installed Windows it would wipe your ubuntu isntall because Windows always wants to be the first partition. you could save your ubuntu files and reinstall Windows, then install ubuntu as a dual boot option | 08:21 |
| Martell | ardchoille, aight buddy, so how do i get that unnalocated space back | 08:22 |
| ardchoille | Martell: it looks like what you did was split the hard drive in half in order to install ubuntu but then installed ubuntu on the wrong partition - removing Windows 7 | 08:23 |
| subb1 | Martell: as a last resort, if you're comfortable with removing your hdd physically, you could then connect it to a box running win7 and see which all areas of the ntfs filesystem are able to be read. You might get lucky, but chances are not good from the output of your gparted :( | 08:23 |
| Martell | yeah ardchoille i think so, i thought i isntalled on the right partition :( | 08:23 |
| ardchoille | Martell: you can partition it and use it, but I would look into what ifndefx said first and possibly recover files | 08:23 |
| === Duality_school is now known as Duality | ||

| Cong | Is there a guide on what file system I should use for storage and how to set the permission so that all who have access to the computer have access to all the contents of the files on the file system? | 08:25 |
| Martell | ardchoille, what ifndefx? | 08:25 |
| ardchoille | <ifndefx> you might still be able to recover some one the files if it is just unallocated | 08:25 |
| Martell | oh its a person lol, didnt see him :) | 08:26 |
| ardchoille | Martell: even if you partition that unallocated space and attempt to install Windows on it, Windows will install itself to the first partition and that will remove ubuntu | 08:26 |
| Martell | ifndefx, no hard feeling buddy, but how to recover some of the files if it jsut unallocated? | 08:27 |
| ardchoille | Unlike Linux, Windows does what "it" wants, rather than what the user wants | 08:27 |
| kage_ | hey | 08:28 |
| Martell | how bout moving my linux archive to that unnalocated partition first, and then boot with win 7 install cd so it used the "first partition" | 08:28 |
| kage_ | anyone looking to chat | 08:28 |
| Martell | huh | 08:28 |
| ardchoille | Martell: Windows will repartition and use the entire hard drive | 08:28 |
| ardchoille | that's what I'm saying, you have little control over how Windows installs itself | 08:29 |
| subb1 | Martell, No its not. a rescue cd can only help if the windows OS installation files are intact properly. But from your gparted, I don't think they are there. Yes, as ardchoille suggested, save your current files somewhere and then try out stuff. | 08:29 |
| === benedict is now known as Benkinooby | ||
| ardchoille | Martell: what I would do is save files to a usb or the could. Then boot into that reserved windows installer environment and install windows. then use the ubuntu live cd to repartition the hard drive into halves and install ubuntu in the second partition. Then restore saved files. that seems to be the safest route | 08:31 |
| ardchoille | Martell: but this time be sure where you are installing ubuntu so it doesn't over-write windows | 08:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:it would be worth a try to install testdisk to rescue data | 08:32 |

| Benkinooby | hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 minimal + xdm +fluxbox ... but it seems that i still have problems with permissions... is there a package i forgot? | 08:33 |
| Martell | lotuspsychje, i have tried everything from testdisk until EaseUS partition manager, theyre failed. guess i have to giveup and believe my windows 7 is gone | 08:34 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: can you elaborate on the permissions problem? | 08:34 |
| ardchoille | Martell: oh Windows is gone, there's no doubt about that | 08:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:its possible sometimes recover data even after formats, ive been able with photorec | 08:35 |
| Martell | ardchoille, well i used to try install windows 7 32bit from bootable usb but it failed on installation, i guess this desktop only take Windows 64bit | 08:35 |
| Martell | lotuspsychje, unless you can help me guide me, its worth to try, im tired of trying for weeks | 08:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:did you try photorec inside testdisk package? | 08:36 |
| Martell | lotuspsychje, not yet. how to do it :( | 08:37 |
| lotuspsychje | !info testdisk | Martell | 08:37 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, for exmaple if i start vlc from terminal (under fluxbox) i get " PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused" also other programs seem to have problems with accessing functions/programs they need | 08:37 |
| ubottu | Martell: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.13-1 (precise), package size 516 kB, installed size 1209 kB | 08:37 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:just install this testdisk and after install sudo photorec from terminal | 08:37 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i think that, caused by my minimal install aproach, there are some packages missing that vital to the permission regulation | 08:38 |
| Martell | i have testdisk already, used it but still failed. and i have photorec guess its installed together with testdisk | 08:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Martell:yes | 08:38 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: if it was a permissions issue you would get a "permission denied" error | 08:40 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i don't see any difference between refused and denied... i'm not an english native | 08:40 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: is pulseaudio installed? It doesn't come as default on a minimal install | 08:41 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: "conection refused" could ba any number of things whereas "permission denied" is a direct permissions issue | 08:41 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: saying that, you shouldn't need it for VLC. I don't | 08:41 |

| Benkinooby | somsip, so i need ALSA or Pulse? | 08:42 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, oh, i was not aware of this difference... | 08:42 |

| somsip | Benkinooby: yeah. That was me too. I'm a simple user. If things work, I leave it at that. Maybe others can help with pulse, but I can confirm pulse is not installed here and VLC, mp3, Skype all work fine | 08:49 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: that could be the reason for "connection refused" | 08:49 |
| gry | whoops | 08:49 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, somsip ok, i think i'll go with ALSA only and consider pulse if there are problems | 08:50 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: perhaps somsip can teach you how he set up vlc? | 08:50 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: If it helps - Audio Settings in VLC is set up as Default. Acutally, is VLC the only problem? Do you have sound at all? | 08:51 |
| lotuspsychje | akis:maybe try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, might have some codecs you need | 08:51 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, didn't test that properly... just tried a lucky shot with vlc... hoping it might work out of the box | 08:52 |
| Mrokii | To say it differently: How can I make the "apply to all"-Radiobutton (shown in the dialog that appears when you copy already existing files into a folder) permanently activated? | 08:52 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: then maybe do the asound and alsmixer setup and make sure the base sound is working first | 08:52 |
| rasha666 | i have problem when i watch movies. video is running normal, but sound is running a little forward.? how can i fix this | 08:53 |
| ardchoille | Mrokii: I don't think you can, it's a radio button for a reason - that being so you don't clobber files | 08:53 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ah, there it is again... alsamixer only availabe with sudo :/ | 08:53 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: not asound...not sure what I meant there. I meant speaker-test and these instructions are clear though not official https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmuting_the_channels | 08:53 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: you don't have sudo? | 08:54 |

| Benkinooby | somsip, i have sudo... but shouldn't a normal use be able to access alsamixer? | 08:54 |

| ubottu | redwarriors25: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:59 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, that is my problem... that many things will give me trouble as normal user while they run well under root... i think i just forgot a package for ubuntu that sorts out these permission trouble | 08:59 |
| Martell | hey ardchoille , photorec rocks, it recover my files | 09:00 |
| Hatori | redwarriors25, was that samba shares? | 09:00 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: open a terminal and run this command, it should return nothing: find . -user root | 09:00 |

| ardchoille | Martell: Awesome! Now back them up to the cloud or a usb key just to be safe | 09:00 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: does the output of groups confirm you have audio access? | 09:00 |
| akis | which program is recommendable to convert mp4 to dvd under ubuntu 12.04? | 09:01 |
| rudivs | I occasionally have a program running (has an arrow in launcher), but I can't activate it (by clicking on it in the launcher, or alt-tab). anyone know how to fix this? | 09:01 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, it finds something i mounted as sudo... but apart from that nothing | 09:01 |
| somsip | akis: ffmpeg if you don't want a gui | 09:01 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: ok | 09:01 |
| rudivs | (using unity in 12.04) | 09:01 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, output of groups: benedict adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 09:01 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: so you don't have audio access. Add yourself to audio group, logout and logina nd check again | 09:02 |
| rudivs | ah, nevermind... seems in this case at least it's because it's on a different desktop | 09:03 |
| akis | ffmpeg as far as i know can convert to other formats like mpeg/mpeg1/avi etc. can convert to dvd too? how? which is the command? | 09:03 |
| Martell | ardchoille, yes gotta back up em, since im still on 11.04, i want to upgrade to 12.04 , so im asking you how to move my ubuntu 11.04 installed softwares/files to that unnallocated partition (once i done backup) , so i can just download 12.04 iso and do fresh isntall | 09:03 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille ok, thank you two so far... i'll do the group stuff and report back in case of trouble (they will come up sooner or later for sure :P) | 09:04 |
| === Oleg is now known as Guest85963 | ||
| somsip | akis: my apologies - I misread the question. devede does it and I'm sure there are others | 09:04 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: kk | 09:04 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille oohhh... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup says As a practical rule of thumb for Debian and Ubuntu systems, there should be no users in the audio group. | 09:05 |
| akis | i know devede can do it but it asks me to remove some libs and i dont get the risk to proceed | 09:05 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: oh yes. You definitely need it | 09:05 |
| ardchoille | Martell: if you partition that unallocated space and move files there you will have only half of the HDD space to install 12.04, unless you use the entire HDD and that will defeat the purpose of moving files to that unallocated space | 09:05 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: maybe that's why alsa works for me <shrugs> Comes from mixing Arch linux knowledge with Ubuntu minimal install I guess | 09:06 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, do you have console kit daemon running? | 09:06 |
| Tomop | hi | 09:06 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: 1494 ? 00:00:00 console-kit-dae | 09:07 |
| Tomop | Any here? | 09:07 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: I can believe that the wiki entry applies to a stock install. Could be wrong though. Maybe I've done something hideous by adding myself to audio group | 09:07 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, read the last part of the link i send... seems console kit daemon is also related to permission stuff | 09:07 |
| Hatori | hi tomop | 09:07 |
| Hatori | !ask | tomop | 09:08 |
| ubottu | tomop: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | Martell: my suggestion would be to save all files to an external target and then expand your main partition to take up the unallocated space, then use that partition on which to install 12.04. I say this because you need to be careful to not over-write that special partition that the Windows installer resides on | 09:08 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, hm... i have it running too... | 09:08 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ok - take my advice with a pinch of salt then. I'm happy with my setup, but if this doesn't fix your problem then it might not be the right soution | 09:08 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, sure | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | Martell: I messed up my netbook by installing Ubuntu to the main drive, which over-wrote my Windows installer space. | 09:09 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: the implications on the wiki are not very scary for me | 09:09 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, agreed | 09:09 |

| Benkinooby | somsip, what display manager do you use? | 09:11 |
| Tomop | about patches | 09:11 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: awesome | 09:11 |
| Tomop | Where i can download it? | 09:11 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: so just a wm. No dm | 09:11 |
| ardchoille | somsip: I think Benkinooby is using fb | 09:12 |
| redwarriors25 | yes samba shares | 09:12 |
| ardchoille | Tomop: a patch for what? | 09:12 |
| somsip | ardchoille: fb? Facebook? | 09:12 |
| Tomop | I installed Ubuntu on my vibrator and turned it on. And vabrator tore my ass. Where can I download a patch for my back hole? | 09:12 |

| ardchoille | lol facebook | 09:12 |
| somsip | ardchoille: ah - fluxbox... | 09:12 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille yes... im on fluxbox | 09:12 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: nice choice :) | 09:12 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ardchoille well, you asked what I used :) | 09:12 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i asked because the display manager is also permission related - see http://askubuntu.com/questions/185293/how-to-configure-a-minimal-ubuntu-installation | 09:13 |
| Hatori | tomop, you have been hacked :d | 09:13 |
| Tomop | yes :( | 09:13 |
| ardchoille | Tomop: Please take that elsewhere | 09:13 |
| Tomop | U want photos? | 09:14 |
| Tomop | i have photos | 09:14 |
| Hatori | tomop, you can implant your back hole with hole from the big pig :d | 09:14 |
| ardchoille | Tomop: This is an ubuntu support channel. Do you have a support question? | 09:14 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: tl;dr I just installed a minimal CD and 'apt-get install awesome' and the rest just worked. That was 10.04, and all upgrades have worked since. Probably better to reinstall but I need thinsg to work right now and they do | 09:14 |
| Tomop | yes i have | 09:15 |
| Tomop | where can download patchs? | 09:15 |
| ardchoille | Tomop: a patch for which app/package? There are several | 09:15 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i have a 10.04 too that is my main system... everything works too but i think with pulse... but what i've read now i'd try to avoid pulse | 09:15 |
| Hatori | tomop, you don't need patch | 09:16 |
| leirbag | Hi, is it possible to force the "automount" without to unplug et replug a device ? for example, I have create a partition (cfdisk) and make a fs, I would like to automount it, any idea ? | 09:16 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: the problem is on 10.04? I *was* on 10.04 from the original install, but have done a full dist upgrade on every release so I'm on 12.04 | 09:16 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille i think for now you've helped me enought... averything that follows now is "but i want it THIS way"-masochism :P | 09:16 |
| ThinkT510 | !fstab | leirbag | 09:17 |
| ubottu | leirbag: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 09:17 |
| Kvaks | Was there an update to adobe flash recently? I'm getting "flash is not allowed" on a lot of youtube videoes today! | 09:17 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: ah, been there :) | 09:17 |
| shivam | what is a unit ??? they say about ubuntu?? | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | Benkinooby: use pulse unless you know what you're doing | 09:17 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ok - it was turning into a general chat a bit. Best of luck | 09:17 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i have two ubuntu installs.. 10.04 which i use as main system, and now i'm setting up 12.04 along side and when everything is nice i move to 12.04 | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | Benkinooby: and I say that as someone who dislikes pulse and doesn't use it when possible | 09:17 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: k - makes sense. And gordonjcp may well know much more about pulse than me | 09:17 |
| leirbag | ubottu: I don't want to create a "permanent" mount point, just to force ubunto to re detect device and mount them, like if I plug it | 09:18 |
| ubottu | leirbag: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:18 |
| leirbag | oh shit | 09:18 |

| Tomop | Can I install Ubuntu on my toilet? I want to talk to him when i committing the act of defecation. | 09:18 |
| leirbag | ThinkT510: I don't want to create a "permanent" mount point, just to force ubunto to re detect device and mount them, like if I plug it | 09:18 |
| ardchoille | Tomop: please take that elsewhere, this is an ubuntu support channel. | 09:19 |
| Benkinooby | gordonjcp, i usually set my selftime limits - in order to stay sane.... i'll fall back to pulse if i cant fix it within 3 hours :) | 09:19 |
| ThinkT510 | leirbag: before you unplug anything it should be unmounted | 09:19 |
| Tomop | I like when look at me ... | 09:19 |
| ThinkT510 | leirbag: it should automatically offer to mount anything you plugin | 09:19 |
| Benkinooby | gordonjcp, *set myself time | 09:19 |

| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: Thank you for that systemupdate file, taught me a few things and I've incorprated some of it into my own update script | 09:27 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: How did you fare? | 09:30 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille i added myslef to the audio group and music is no anymore | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: no problem anymore? | 09:31 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille i think somsip what right - not adding a user to audio group might cont for standard setups (who also include pulse i think) | 09:31 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, for the sound - DONE ... i'l come across trouble within on time i think :P | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: Good to hear | 09:32 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: so it's worked? Ok - but I agree, I've probably recommended something non-standard | 09:32 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, my system is non-standard too... and as you said... the only problem that might come form being in audio-group is that multiple users might conflict on sound access- but i'm the only one who's allowed to touch my laptop hrhrhrh | 09:33 |
| Viopl | Hello Friends! | 09:34 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: you shouldn't have any problem then | 09:34 |
| ardchoille | hi Viopl | 09:34 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: So, if it's something that breaks another time, you know how to correct it. But you'll have to find the official way to fix the sound problem then... | 09:34 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, sure | 09:35 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: cool. | 09:36 |
| gordonjcp | Benkinooby: what are you trying to solve, anyway? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | *!*@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.101.* | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | ardchoille feel free to share your script, maybe I can learn one or two things | 09:37 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: mine is rather bare compared to yours, I'm a minimalist | 09:37 |
| Benkinooby | gordonjcp, nothing special... i just did a minimal install and now i'm checking all functions... sound, wifi, drivers, programs, merging old conf, test permissions and so on | 09:37 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: just a thought - if you have other problems, are your groups completely correct? What does 'groups' show now? | 09:40 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, benedict adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 09:40 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: for reference mine (some user-defines in here) are - mark adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip www-data video plugdev fuse lpadmin sambashare admin media developers | 09:41 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: I suspect admin is useful for you, and probably video. Maybe more | 09:41 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i think fuse too - isn't that something for mountign stuff in userspace? | 09:42 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: erm...could be. i know automount works ok for me | 09:42 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: the only thing mine has that yours deosn't is usinf an if statement to check for root privs and disallowing script execution if the user isn't root | 09:44 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, there is no automount package.... usbmount is there... do you have usbmount installed? | 09:45 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: I use pcmanfm as my filemanager and that has automount support built in | 09:45 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ah, i see ... with pcmanfm there comes the whole gvfs-fuse stuff | 09:48 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: your system may not be "minimal" for long if you go down this road | 09:48 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i didn't install it... aptitude show | 09:49 |
| ardchoille | ah | 09:49 |
| senjin | Hello does anyone know how to enable non-fallback mode in gnome3 with a amd card and two screens? i have installed the latest amd drivers but get stuck with fallbackmode it does however work if i turn of one screen | 09:50 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, but i don't want to mount every pendrive manually either | 09:50 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: I was thinking "toys! wonderful.. shiny.. new toys!!!" lol | 09:50 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, so either i go for all that gvfs-fuse stuff or i see if usbmount will do | 09:50 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: good point | 09:50 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, can you give a recommendation on that? | 09:51 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ah - does it? I learn something everyday | 09:51 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, that's how i understood it :P | 09:52 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: I'm afraid I can't, I've always installed from the desktop cd and accepted whatever was installed therein. I build my systems from known Linux-friendly parts so I rarely have problems | 09:52 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: and that's bloaty is it? I shall investigate... | 09:52 |
| Benkinooby | :D | 09:53 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i did it like you did too... for some time... but then i started to strip things down more and more | 09:53 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, so i thought for now it might be better to go min->more than much->less | 09:53 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: is there a reason you went with a minimal install? old hardware? limited hardware? curiosity ? | 09:54 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: Ah, yeah and you learn more that way too | 09:54 |
| MonkeyDust | ardchoille show me how you do that, please (pastebin or so) | 09:54 |
| ardchoille | building your own systems is great and always yields a trouble-free system. But, you don't learn as much and end up being less help to others | 09:54 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: Ah. I thought I'd avoid gnome components completely. I guess this is why I'm in fuse group then | 09:55 |
| thepreacher | why do some fonts display as boxes in ubuntu | 09:55 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, lenovo ideapad s12 (the slower atom model) - i could go with unity, or xfce or something... | 09:55 |
| ThinkT510 | thepreacher: maybe you need the right font installed to display the characters | 09:55 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, you'll end up with gnome stuff for sure.. sooner or later... they make good stuff too :D | 09:55 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1259682/ | 09:56 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: looks like gvfs and gnome-keyring. Wellll, like I say. i'm stable and it's not breaking anything <shrugs>. For now, anyway | 09:56 |
| cyphase | umm, where did os.urandom go in the last python2.7 update? | 09:57 |
| thepreacher | ThinkT510: I have installed the right font I think. Its the conkysymbols font. Other similar fonts like webdings and windings all display fine | 09:57 |
| ThinkT510 | thepreacher: in that case i have no idea | 09:57 |
| ardchoille | MonkeyDust: the only drawback with that user check is that you need to keep in mind the content of the script so as to not execute something as root that isn't needed or dangerous | 09:58 |
| thepreacher | ThinkT510: thanks anyway | 09:58 |
| simplew | im running the quantzal live cd and when i click to install and i set the mount points, i click to continue and then i get that it cant use the swap partition, why is this happening??? | 09:58 |

| dr_willis | best to avoid aptitude these days. on ubuntu | 10:09 |
| Benkinooby | MonkeyDust, ardchoille i thought aptitude would be smarter with dependencies than apt-get | 10:09 |
| Benkinooby | might be it's jsut an option i missed | 10:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Benkinooby there's a !aptitude factoid | 10:09 |
| ThinkT510 | !aptitude | Benkinooby | 10:09 |
| ubottu | Benkinooby: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 10:09 |
| ardchoille | dr_willis: sounds like good advice | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | yep. i never really used it to begin with. but i do recall a lot of argueing over which is better... these days - use apt-get | 10:10 |

| dr_willis | bbl | 10:17 |
| Benkinooby | gry i use a minimal install and need some adaption in order to automount my pendrives... i don't know which group is responsible for that so i'm looking for descriptions of the ubuntu user groups | 10:17 |
| codephobic | gry, hi yes I have samba running | 10:17 |
| chronofusion1980 | and yes.it does...but either way..when i was ripping on two dvd's at same time using two instances of handbrake...for the same length of time discs ( dbz season 3 discs that i own) it shouldn't matter | 10:17 |
| gry | codephobic, i see, does restarting smbd help? what is nas in your question? | 10:18 |
| caydeesoft | hey | 10:18 |
| tking | hello guys, please is there any terminal client apart from Remmina? When i connect to my windows vps with reminna it kicks me out a lot, but from windows i dont get kicked. SO please any alternative for Remmina Remote Destop Clinet?? | 10:18 |
| gry | caydeesoft, hi | 10:18 |
| Cong | jrib, what is used to search for fixed names or complete package name? | 10:18 |
| jrib | Cong: aptitude search '~nNAME' | 10:19 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, can you tell me thegroups of your "normal" user please? | 10:19 |
| jrib | !vnc > tking | 10:19 |
| ubottu | tking, please see my private message | 10:19 |
| gry | Benkinooby, is a minimal install == server install or do you mean something else? do you use a gui? | 10:19 |
| jrib | tking: there are plenty of rdp clients in the repositories | 10:19 |
| codephobic | I've configured both Windows 7 and Ubuntu to join "MyNET" as their workgroup, rebooted both machines and the existing shared folders from Windows 7 are working fine but I still can't get network browsing to work | 10:19 |
| Cong | jrib, didn't work. | 10:19 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | how can I stop applications from opening when connecting usb drive ? | 10:19 |
| codephobic | gry, the NAS is a ReadyNAS duo - Netgear. | 10:19 |
| jrib | Cong: be more specific | 10:19 |
| gry | Benkinooby, so it is a cli only install ? ubuntu-server or no ? | 10:20 |
| Benkinooby | gry, minimal install for personal laptop + xdm + fluxbox .... i rather start from minimal and add up than going with a full install and then strip down | 10:20 |
| gry | aaah | 10:20 |
| Cong | jrib, just the letters "ri". | 10:20 |
| chronofusion1980 | I was really hoping to take full advantage of a 3rd dvd burner to rip my entire collection faster..( besides the anime series's i have...at least 300 other movies to go) | 10:20 |
| codephobic | gry, the NAS folders and drives are also saved as fstab shares (like the Windows 7 ones) and they're perfectly fine too. It's just that neither NAS nor Windows 7 is showing up in "Browse Network" | 10:20 |
| jrib | chronofusion1980: aptitude search '~nri' will return only packages with "ri" in their names. What did you want it to do? | 10:20 |
| gry | my user has 'uid=1001(user) gid=1001(user) groups=1001(user),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse),105(lpadmin),112(netdev),119(admin),122(sambashare),133(vboxusers),134(powerdev),139(scanner),1002(samba),1003(sbox)' but do mind this is not clean install and some of them may be redundant --- Benkinooby | 10:20 |
| chronofusion1980 | and honestly only handbrake out of all the rippers i tried does the best job and without me having to use another ripping program just to decrypt it and handbrake to shrink it..handbrake does both all in one step | 10:21 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: it's been a while since I've messed with groups, what command should I use for your inquiry? | 10:21 |
| XRS1 | handbrake is good stuff | 10:21 |
| chronofusion1980 | and jrib i'm confused...why would i need to do a " aptitude search? | 10:21 |
| Benkinooby | gry, thank you... think i'll add my user to admin and fuse too | 10:21 |
| jrib | Cong: aptitude search '~nri' will return only packages with "ri" in their names. What did you want it to do? | 10:21 |
| jrib | chronofusion1980: because your name starts with 'c' and it's early :) sorry. | 10:21 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, groups | 10:22 |
| chronofusion1980 | lol :P | 10:22 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: ardchoille adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 10:22 |
| chronofusion1980 | late for me..i should be in bed..i work the late evening shift in 7 hours | 10:22 |
| chronofusion1980 | so any ideas? | 10:22 |
| gry | codephobic, does your install use a gui ? anything useful in /var/log/samba/ ? | 10:22 |
| jrib | chronofusion1980: do try to keep your question to one line though because otherwise most people will have no context for what you are saying | 10:22 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, your on a standard install right? | 10:22 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, *you're | 10:23 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: yes, 12.04 | 10:23 |
| ardchoille | installed from desktop cd | 10:23 |
| codephobic | gry, I'm running Unity on Ubuntu if that's what you mean by using a gui? | 10:23 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, automounting usb-drives works? | 10:23 |
| codephobic | I'll check the log now. | 10:23 |
| Cong | jrib, search from within the program.,and get only the packages that match ri completely. | 10:23 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: yes, and I love that | 10:23 |
| jrib | chronofusion1980: i have no idea why the behavior described is happening, but you might try seeing if it also happens with other programs (try some that just rip and don't encode; and also try some that are similar to handbrake), just to get some more info about what the problem might be | 10:23 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: you have looked at usbmount? | 10:23 |
| gry | codemaniac, yes :) could you check the logs dir i mentioned please? | 10:24 |
| Cong | jrib, aptitude has a curses mode. | 10:24 |
| chronofusion1980 | okedoke. i have more research to do after work today.. peaces | 10:24 |
| jrib | Cong: you can use regex in the search. You would never want to search for exactly the package "ri" though because, well obviously there's only one package with the name exactly "ri". But using regex: aptitude search '~n^ri$'. I never cared for aptitude's curses interface | 10:24 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, yes... i installed it but it does not work ... thunar crashes my trying to access the pen drive :P | 10:25 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: does dmesg/syslog show that the drive is mounting ok? | 10:25 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, yes... it gets recognized... even without usbmount | 10:26 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, if i attach the pendirve i get a small window saying "not authrozed" - when usbmount is uninstalled | 10:27 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: Ah - I had this...now how did I fix it... | 10:27 |
| Cong | jrib, regexes function in curses mode too. | 10:28 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: sorry - if usbmount is installed, does it authorise you and mount it at one of the mountpoints? | 10:28 |
| jrib | Cong: k | 10:28 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i suspect i have to be added to fuse or admin group or so... although i wonder how standardinstalls like the one of ardchoille does it without being in these groups | 10:28 |
| codephobic | gry, ok, I figured it out - my fault entirely. I'd installed Firestarter and then closed it, figuring that it was switched off... but it was blocking new local outbound/inbound connections for some reason. | 10:28 |
| gry | ok :) | 10:28 |
| codephobic | I need to read the help for firestarter and figure out how to properly configure it. | 10:29 |
| codephobic | thanks for your help gry :) | 10:29 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: I would imagine gnome looks after that | 10:29 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: I do know that I have a .gvfs folder in my home dir, perhaps gvfs/fuse is being used here? | 10:29 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, guess you're right | 10:29 |
| gry | it is ardchoille | 10:29 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: if you're using thunar, osn't there a thunar-volman. Does that do anything useful for you? | 10:30 |
| digitroid | Hello | 10:30 |
| gry | hi | 10:30 |
| sky_ | hi | 10:30 |
| ardchoille | somsip Benkinooby yeah, gnome-session perhaps | 10:30 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ardchoille and I guess you're wanting to avoid gvfs and dependencies...? | 10:30 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, it's already installed | 10:30 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, it's already installed - thunar-volman | 10:30 |
| ardchoille | somsip: no, just adding info I thought might help Benkinooby. My system is perfect here | 10:30 |
| gry | what is the problem again, Benkinooby? | 10:31 |
| somsip | ardchoille: I understand - just replying to both of you | 10:31 |
| simplew | in /etc/fstab of the isntalled quantzal i see this: overlayfs / overlayfs rw 0 0 | 10:31 |
| simplew | why is that line in fstab for / ? | 10:31 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: ok - I have no expereince of thunar, just am aware of it. So I don't think I'm much help | 10:31 |
| ThinkT510 | simplew: #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 until release | 10:31 |
| caydeesoft | how do u remove the shutdown bug in ubuntu 12.04 | 10:32 |
| gry | which one? | 10:32 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, gnome-session is not installed at my system - would get me +300 packages ... although i'm not an indealist... i want comfprt too :D | 10:32 |
| Benkinooby | comfort | 10:32 |
| Benkinooby | gry, get a nice and slim automount for normal user | 10:33 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, my problem sould not be filemanager related... | 10:33 |
| caydeesoft | when i try shutdown the system it brings out a black screen | 10:33 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: maybe it is back to permissions/groups again, but I am guessing I admit. IME setting up a file manager to automount does pull in dependencies and make changes that solve the issue. And I undertsand you're trying to minimise dependencies | 10:34 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, i'm kicking thunar and going for pcman - just to see what it does to my groups | 10:35 |
| somsip | caydeesoft: what video card do you have - nvidia? | 10:35 |
| gry | caydeesoft, do you see any text on the black screen? or is it entirely blank? | 10:36 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: I did see that 'not authorized' popup before and did something to fix it manually. Maybe that was adding myself to fuse group... | 10:36 |
| gry | caydeesoft, can you pastebin /etc/default/grub please? | 10:37 |
| sordina | Hey guys! | 10:37 |
| gry | hi | 10:37 |
| sordina | I've got an upstart script that's not appearing in initctl list. | 10:37 |
| sordina | Is there something I should check to figure out why this is not appearing? | 10:38 |
| sordina | (btw, edgy) | 10:38 |
| gry | edgy is 12.10 or ? | 10:38 |
| sordina | haha 6.10 | 10:38 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, gry ardchoille i added myself to fuse group - brb | 10:38 |
| Cong | 12.10 is quantal | 10:39 |
| Cong | quetzal | 10:39 |
| gry | I'm afraid that's not supported any longer sordina (/topic) | 10:39 |
| sordina | I know that :P | 10:39 |
| sordina | That's why I'm asking in irc rather than going to coporate support. | 10:39 |
| sordina | Anyway, if know one knows I'll keep digging. | 10:39 |
| gry | that said folk may suggest you some solutions if you stick here for more than twenty minutes or so as it's a busy channel but things may have changed and not everybody here would be familiar with how things were back then | 10:40 |
| sordina | Thanks gry I'll stick around for a while. | 10:40 |
| ikonia | sordina: 6.10 didn't use upstart | 10:40 |
| ikonia | sordina: wasn't 6.10 still on sysv init | 10:40 |
| sordina | ikonia: Actually, that would be much more likely. | 10:41 |
| ikonia | upstart didn't come in until 9.04/9.10 somewhere around there | 10:41 |
| ThinkT510 | sordina: edgy is long dead, unsupported | 10:41 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille gry added myself to fuse group, reinstalled thunar... usbstick gest recognize but i'm not authrozed | 10:42 |
| Benkinooby | authorized | 10:42 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: plugdev group? | 10:43 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i'm in that group already | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | ok | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: your issue is mind-boggling | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: install a full system then work backwards? | 10:45 |
| * ardchoille ducks | 10:45 | |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille thunar and pcmanfs say not authorized... i'm in fuse group and plugdev - maybe try admin group? | 10:45 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i might have to come back to that | 10:45 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, last resort | 10:45 |
| ardchoille | Benkinooby: adm group | 10:45 |
| ardchoille | yeah | 10:46 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, i'm in that group | 10:46 |
| ardchoille | I'm not in admin group | 10:46 |
| Benkinooby | ardchoille, but somsip is | 10:46 |
| ardchoille | ah | 10:46 |
| ThinkT510 | it used to be admin group but now its sudo group | 10:46 |
| ardchoille | ThinkT510: I was just thinking about that | 10:47 |
| Benkinooby | ThinkT510, sudo group is standard | 10:47 |
| Benkinooby | ThinkT510, i'm in it | 10:47 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, admin group does not exist | 10:48 |
| fidel | hi - i installed 12.04 now twice on an lenovo think centre 71e - install works flawless without issues - but after rebooting i get: error 1962: no operating system found. press any key to repeat boot process. I am guessing that is related with some morem odern bios - or has anyone another idea? | 10:48 |
| gry | Benkinooby, is mounting a windows share what you're trying to do? how you trying to do that? what error message? | 10:49 |
| Benkinooby | gry, usbstick | 10:50 |
| somsip | Benkinooby: sorry - family time.I can't help for a while | 10:50 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, np - thank you for your effort, appreciate it | 10:50 |
| gry | Benkinooby, are you able to mount it manually? | 10:52 |
| Benkinooby | gry w/o sudo? | 10:52 |
| gry | nod | 10:52 |
| Benkinooby | gry, manual sudo mount works | 10:53 |
| gry | does it work without sudo? | 10:53 |
| Benkinooby | gry, without sudo i does not work | 10:54 |
| gry | Benkinooby, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB User PrivilegesIf your usb device doesn't appear on your desktop, you should check that your user has the correct privileges. Go to System->Administration->User and Groups, choose the user, click on "Properties", then go to the "User Privileges" tab. You should have the "Access external storage devices automatically" option checked. | 10:54 |
| gry | Does this help? | 10:54 |
| Benkinooby | gry i don't have all that gnome stuff on my system .... yet | 10:55 |
| gry | what DE are you using? | 10:55 |

| crazydip | has anyone installed LVM on an existing system? was it successful? any tips? | 11:02 |
| ThinkT510 | !lvm | crazydip | 11:02 |
| ubottu | crazydip: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 11:02 |
| gry | Benkinooby, and plugdev did not help to mount? | 11:04 |
| Benkinooby | gry when attaching the pendirve it gets recongized and i even see it in my file managers ... i am just not allowed to open it | 11:04 |
| gry | edgy, is it in 'info -f grub'? | 11:05 |
| kannan | can i get any driver software for my Samsung Scx printer to install in Ubuntu12.04 | 11:06 |
| crazydip | ThinkT510: thanks for the info, but i'm talking about LVM on an existing system - not a fresh install - very little info via google (few wiki's, but little opinions) | 11:06 |
| sordina | n/m guys broken symlinks. | 11:07 |
| sordina | Ah the fun of working with years old systems. | 11:07 |
| sordina | Thanks for your help. | 11:07 |
| crazydip | ThinkT510: I know it's theoretically possible, just like it's possible to dist-upgrade debian -> ubuntu (which I have successfully done 5 years ago) - but it does not mean it's easy and you can just follow a wiki :) | 11:07 |
| ThinkT510 | crazydip: unfortunately i've never used lvm so i can't help you | 11:08 |
| crazydip | ThinkT510: aye, thanks! | 11:08 |
| gry | sordina, no worries, we'll all be happy if you make your way to updating at a point -- i think your version has no updates at all | 11:09 |
| sordina | Yes. I'm pressuring people at my work to update to the latest LTS for the love of god. | 11:09 |
| sordina | Unfortunately it's difficult to get people out of the 'if it ain't broke' mindset if I keep fixing things when they break... | 11:10 |
| edgy | gry: not sure if you understand my question, nothing in info -f grub is related | 11:11 |
| gry | I'm sure they won't want to restore backups and patch kernel/whatever manually everywhere when it's exploited, sordina :) good luck there | 11:11 |
| gry | edgy, ok | 11:11 |
| edgy | gry: grub.cfg contains linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-16-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg00-lv_root ro recovery ... What's recovery here referes to | 11:11 |
| sordina | Ah thankfully it's not a public facing server... | 11:12 |
| crazydip | sordina: make a point that the longer they wait, the worse it will be to migrate - which also means more expensive and risky - and without upgrading they are risking damage & security (just a thought) | 11:12 |
| edgy | gry: is my question clearer now? | 11:12 |
| yossarianuk | hi - I have noticed on several Ubuntu 12.04 servers that /var/cache/apt was taking up over 40GB. | 11:12 |
| sordina | will do crazydip | 11:12 |
| gry | edgy, i see, thank you, i am reading | 11:12 |
| yossarianuk | on inspection I can see lots of files called | 11:12 |
| sordina | Cya guys | 11:12 |
| simplew | im running live cd and when i run apt-get install synaptic it says the package does not exist, how can this be? | 11:12 |
| Scall | Are all external boxes for hard disks (like this: http://nilox.com/scheda/nilox/DH0003ER-SB.htm) compatible with Ubuntu/Linux? Are there any compatibility issues? Thanks in advance. | 11:13 |
| edgy | yossarianuk: you need to run apt-get clean | 11:13 |
| yossarianuk | # /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin.zGFIkA | 11:13 |
| fidel | simplew: apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME | 11:13 |
| yossarianuk | # /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin.random | 11:13 |
| fidel | will tell you the available version you might have & your distri can offer | 11:13 |
| simplew | fidel, what? | 11:14 |
| fidel | !info synaptic | 11:14 |
| ubottu | synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.75.9ubuntu1 (precise), package size 2348 kB, installed size 7597 kB | 11:14 |
| yossarianuk | i.e - there are over 800 /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin.random files each 36M | 11:14 |
| yossarianuk | apt-get clean doesn't get rid of them | 11:14 |
| yossarianuk | - what are they | 11:14 |
| simplew | can anyone explain me why is not possible to isntall synaptic when running live cd? | 11:14 |
| yossarianuk | - how to get rid of them? | 11:14 |
| fidel | simplew: 2 minutes ago you told us its not available ;) | 11:15 |
| fidel | simplew: is the availabilty your issue - or the fact that you cant install during your live-cd session? | 11:15 |
| simplew | fidel, you talk like i was a debian user and would have to know what you mean by those short words | 11:16 |
| yossarianuk | simplew: its possibloe that the app your looking for isn't in the repos used by the default source.list | 11:16 |
| simplew | yossarianuk, so how can i do to have synaptic and apt-file installed? | 11:16 |
| fidel | simplew: well i am just pointing out that you make unclear statements ;) | 11:16 |
| crazydip | omg someone created a solarized theme for xchat - i love you internet! | 11:16 |
| fidel | trying to push it 1 step further - but ok - stopping then. | 11:17 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille gry VICTORY!!! summary: get gdm as display manager, kick xdm and you're set | 11:17 |
| yossarianuk | what I would do is go to http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 11:17 |
| ThinkT510 | !yay | Benkinooby | 11:17 |
| ubottu | Benkinooby: Glad you made it! :-) | 11:17 |
| yossarianuk | -replace sources.list with a full one - i.e main, restricted, universe, multiverse | 11:17 |
| yossarianuk | then apt-get update & apt-get install [package] | 11:18 |
| Benkinooby | somsip, ardchoille gry i'm going to remove my user nowfrom all the groups i added it to - but i think i'll can get down to standard ( ardchoille ) group settings ThinkT510 | 11:18 |
| Benkinooby | ThinkT510, somsip ardchoille gry thank you :) | 11:18 |
| yossarianuk | so does anyone know why I have literally hundreds /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin.randomletters that is raping my disk spaxce | 11:19 |
| yossarianuk | space | 11:19 |
| yossarianuk | its happening on mutiple servers all ubuntu 12.04 | 11:20 |
| yossarianuk | apt-get clean - doesn't help | 11:20 |
| ThinkT510 | yossarianuk: looks like source packages | 11:20 |
| yossarianuk | presently 40GB worth... | 11:20 |
| MonkeyDust | yossarianuk apt-get autoremove, maybe | 11:20 |
| yossarianuk | ThinkT510 - so if I remove the deb-src files in sources.list that wil stop it? | 11:21 |
| ThinkT510 | yossarianuk: i'd do what MonkeyDust suggests | 11:21 |
| yossarianuk | apt-get autoremove doesn't remove them... | 11:22 |
| yossarianuk | i.e | 11:22 |

| yossarianuk | (sorry about the flood..) | 11:23 |
| Benkinooby | gry, it's surprising that a display manager can mess up permissions that bad... i think ubuntu is one of the more difficult disotr if you don't go the "standard" way - because the suddenly all those helpful services that make life nice turn out cause weired interferences if you don't fully understand the whole system | 11:24 |
| sandb____ | hi folks... i'm trying to setup SSH to tunnel through one machine to another... my understanding is that i need to have passwordless ssh setup on the target machine (for the account of the middle man). I used ssh-keygen to generate a keypair on the middle machine and added the .pub to the authorized hosts on the target. SSH to the target gets disconnected though. | 11:25 |
| sandb____ | (I can ssh using username/password but not username/keyfile) | 11:25 |
| sandb____ | from Googling it looks possible it's some kind of open-ssl version/format issue | 11:25 |
| Cong | the system is simple, user (that's you), group (that's you), others (that's not you). | 11:26 |
| yossarianuk | Also I have loads of /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.random i.e 36M /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.YkSbjy 35M /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.z1K9OY | 11:27 |
| yossarianuk | why is this happening - how to sto[p it ? | 11:27 |
| Cong | The users should get an option to choose the group name at installation. | 11:27 |
| yossarianuk | (it didn;t happen on older ubuntu server versions) | 11:27 |
| Cong | yossarianuk, it's cache, and you're free to delete it. | 11:28 |

| SixtyFold | tsimpson - im trying to do the --incognito thing, so that it always starts in incognito, but that doesnt work with just the link anymore i guess | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | Cong, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:59 |

| tryy3 | does anyone know any good/fun java parameters for a mc server? | 12:00 |
| SixtyFold | ask away JSX | 12:00 |
| ThinkT510 | tryy3: that isn't a ubuntu support question | 12:01 |
| JSX | is it "d-i mirror/country string enter information manually" OR "d-i mirror/country string manual" to use your own defined mirror, and is that different per major version? | 12:01 |
| melvincv | SixtyFold, why not install it and check installed files in Synaptic? | 12:01 |
| tryy3 | ThinkT510 oh forgot that | 12:01 |
| TJ- | SixtyFold: "chromium-browser --incognito" gave me an incognito tab | 12:02 |
| SixtyFold | yah, if you type it in command line it works | 12:02 |
| SixtyFold | TJ- but not if you use the start menu | 12:02 |
| SixtyFold | or whatever you want to call it | 12:02 |

| SixtyFold | yes and no | 12:03 |
| SixtyFold | 12.04 and LXDE | 12:03 |
| TJ- | SixtyFold: OK. Not got LXDE installed on this one. But program launchers should all be using XDG free-desktop properties files. Have you surrounded the program-name and parameters with double-quote marks? | 12:05 |

| SixtyFold | ahh, well i used to just go in the app menu, right click on chromium, go to properties and append the --incognito to the end of it | 12:07 |
| TJ- | SixtyFold: And that isn't working ? I'd have thought it should, too! | 12:07 |
| SixtyFold | nope, it wont save it in the shortcut for some reason | 12:08 |

| sandb____ | anyone here really good with sshd configuration, subversion, and tunnelling issues & what's your hourly rate? | 12:08 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: i'm in need of some help with getting svn+ssh tunnelled via a middle man | 12:10 |
| TJ- | SixtyFold: OK. I'm wondering if the reason you can't edit it is, the default ones come from /usr/share/applications/ and its not creating a user-owned copy in ~/.local/share/applications/ | 12:10 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: can I pm you? | 12:10 |
| SixtyFold | ardchoille - to the end of the /usr/bin/chromium-browser %U in the shortcut command: part | 12:10 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: okay, maybe i'll write it up in a gist and paste that | 12:11 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: just wanted to avoid getting lost | 12:11 |
| ardchoille | SixtyFold: you could always install alacarte and use that to edit menu entries, works great | 12:12 |
| SixtyFold | the weird thing is if i go to /usr/bin/chromium-browser there is no chromium-browser even there, yet the shortcut always works | 12:12 |
| TJ- | sandb____: sandb____ It's not something I've played with (svn) but the docs imply "svn co svn+ssh://..." as the style. Is that what you're using? | 12:12 |
| SixtyFold | ardchoille - does alacarte have a GUI? | 12:13 |
| ardchoille | SixtyFold: yes, it is a gui menu editor | 12:13 |
| SixtyFold | my system directory tree understandings are rusty right now | 12:13 |
| SixtyFold | ahh okay | 12:13 |
| SixtyFold | thanks | 12:13 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yes, svn+ssh | 12:13 |
| sandb____ | so the problem is that we can't seem to get me through the firewall to the machine with their svn repo on it | 12:13 |
| TJ- | sandb____: And can you SSH into the server manually? | 12:13 |
| sandb____ | however they can get me to a machine from which it can be accessed | 12:13 |
| ardchoille | SixtyFold: alacarte will surprise you, you'll wonder how you got along without it :) | 12:13 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: i've managed to even tunnel direct via the middle-man | 12:14 |
| sandb____ | so the issue is getting svn to do the same | 12:14 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: following the instructions here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5782872/svn-ssh-tunnel-via-3rd-machine | 12:14 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: I setup the [tunnels] section in the .subversion/config file on my machine here | 12:15 |
| sandb____ | then I create the tunnel, that bit works | 12:15 |
| sandb____ | then I try and use subversion via the tunnelled protocol (svn+tssh://) | 12:15 |
| sandb____ | and it fails, in the tunnelled SSH window I get "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" | 12:15 |
| sandb____ | which I googled and appeared to be about an sshd param "PermitTunnels yes". I added that to the sshd config and restarted but, no dice | 12:16 |
| TJ- | sandb____: So are you able to create the tunnel to server1 ( "ssh server1 -L 9000:127.0.0.1:svnserver:22" ) ? | 12:16 |
| sandb____ | yes | 12:16 |

I also restarted cups after I connected to the network through lan(not wlan). When I open thunar and go on network, then I can see the printer with a blank paper icon.

| fidel | layke_: yep same impression here | 12:21 |
| layke_ | But I specifically remember always using a GUI | 12:22 |
| fidel | layke_: some synergy projects merged in the last month/years | 12:22 |
| fidel | there is afaik the basic core - and then again different client uis around it | 12:22 |
| fidel | considered c hecking the synergy irc chan if there is one in freenode? | 12:22 |
| ThinkT510 | woosim: under system settings there should be printer settings | 12:23 |
| layke_ | No, wasn't aware there was one. | 12:23 |
| woosim | ThinkT510: It's xubuntu and in the system settings I only found this removable media menu and there I could only tell what command line to run if a printer is connected and nothing else. There is no seperate printing menu for configuration | 12:24 |
| TJ- | sandb____: So, with "tssh = ssh -p 1234" in "[tunnels]", you then in one terminal have/do "ssh -L 1234:svnserver:4567 server1" ... and in another terminal do "svn co svn+tssh://localhost/path/to/repo" ? | 12:24 |
| ThinkT510 | woosim: rightclick your desktop, settings > printers | 12:25 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: as i mentioned I googled the error from SSH and came up with http://linuxindetails.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/channel-3-open-failed-administratively-prohibited-open-failed/ | 12:31 |
| sandb____ | but i (think) I've followed those instructions | 12:31 |
| sandb____ | although it occurs to me now that I have followed them on the middle-man... maybe the problem is on the target? | 12:31 |

| MonkeyDust | kawaiidesu ask in #ubuntu+1 | 12:33 |
| evilc_ | The root user is working fine, with this 2GB ram and the cpu, and at time of using the non-root user interface the server load is very low. The problem is not accorded to the level of server load/usage | 12:34 |
| TJ- | sandb____: According to "man 4 sshd_config" ... "PermitTunnel Specifies whether tun(4) device forwarding is allowed.

| sandb____ | TJ-: so, on the middle-man, i've set it to 'yes' | 12:37 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: if proxy means the middle man, then yes... that's what i did | 12:38 |
| TJ- | sandb____: checking on one of my servers | 12:38 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: it did occur to me to wonder if the error is that I don't have PermitTunnel on the target machine (rather than the middle-man)? | 12:41 |
| tryy3 | quick general question about ubuntu (sorta), does it work to sort of restart the computer with out restarting it, like only restart the part that handles screens? i connected a new screen to the computer and it doesn't wanna connect fully! | 12:41 |
| evilc_ | Instead of focus it in the non-root user cpu & ram sources. Probably could be managed from the root account but using graphical privileges for the non-root user who is managing the applications. Otherwise, although this user has tty privileges is by his user terminal in the root accound is not able to open a GUI | 12:41 |

| nwillems | Hey there. I'm running a jenkins server on ubuntu, and have manually installed a newer version. During a recent power failure the jenkins install got "reverted", aka my symbolic link was removed and overwritten by the original jenkins version. Can anyone explain why?

| ThinkT510 | tryy3: it restarts the gui | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | tryy3: it restarts the x server.. not sure what you mean by 'screens' the x server is the foundation of the gui. | 12:43 |
| TJ- | sandb____: Well I've just done "ssh -L 1234:10.254.251.1:22 10.254.252.18" and got logged into 10.254.251.1. In my case, 252.18 is a Linode at the other end of a VPN, and 251.1 is a local server, so it went local-ME > -remote-Linode > local-Server | 12:43 |
| tryy3 | ah ok, with screens i mean monitors | 12:43 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yes I have been able to do a tunnelled SSH via the middle-man to the remote | 12:43 |

| === Liz is now known as Guest70267 | ||
| sandb____ | TJ-: so the sshd_config PermitTunnel is definitely needed on the proxy/middle-man? And not on the target host? | 12:47 |
| TJ- | sandb____: With the "ssh -L 1234:10.254.251.1:22 10.254.252.18" running (checked with "sudo netstat -lpta | grep 1234") in another terminal I do "ssh -p 1234 localhost" and am instantly at the terminal of the 'svn' server | 12:47 |
| TJ- | sandb____: I've not used that at all - but then again I didn't get any failures that would push me to add that, as you did | 12:48 |
| TJ- | sandb____: It's worth adding the debugging to ssh with the "-vvvv" option - it may give you some clues! | 12:49 |
| TJ- | sandb____: That'd be in the svn config tunnel entry | 12:49 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: right, will try that thanks | 12:49 |
| TJ- | sandb____: Any differences in usernames on the svnserver and/or proxy, compared to your local machine? | 12:50 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yes, different on all 3 | 12:50 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: okay so https://gist.github.com/7e1c8c08455eca43746f | 12:51 |
| TJ- | sandb____: So you'll need to add those into the mix, then. | 12:51 |
| mmm4m5m | Hi. A little help please. In ubuntu 12.04.1, default root password is "!". When I try to "ssh" - key authentication, then the error is "account locked". Question - Is it good to change password to "*" ? | 12:51 |
| tyler_d | sorry to inject here but if you dont' mind sandb____ what are you doing | 12:51 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: sorry, here's the whole thing: https://gist.github.com/04c1773bbaa2bb1e4418 | 12:51 |
| TJ- | sandb____: On the proxy, did you previously do "sssh-keygen" for user "matt" ? | 12:52 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: okay so I am trying to get access to a subversion repository on a machine that the client cannot give me direct access to | 12:52 |
| sobrediggler | default root passwd is not ! | 12:52 |
| TJ- | sandb____: typo! "ssh-keygen" | 12:52 |
| compdoc | mmm4m5m, I think that ! is used to disable user accounts. | 12:52 |
| tyler_d | sandb____: port forwarding | 12:52 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: the user on the proxy is 'mmower' but yes i've done that and setup (and tested) passwordless ssh from the proxy to the target host | 12:52 |
| Myrtti | mmm4m5m: there is no root account password | 12:52 |
| compdoc | mmm4m5m, the root account is not enabled by default | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | i think he means in /etc/padsswd | 12:52 |
| tyler_d | !root | 12:52 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:52 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: cannot parse your answer :) | 12:52 |
| sandb____ | well in fact i parse it fine | 12:53 |
| TJ- | sandb____: so is "/Volumes/Corrino/matt" on the svnserver? | 12:53 |
| sandb____ | but, without some more context, i cannot understand what you are trying to convey... we've been using port forwarding | 12:53 |
| dtcrshr | for some reason my touchpad mouse stopped working. the usb or via synergy works fine. I have dual boot on this note, under windows the touch works fine, also the fisical button to turn on/off the touchpad.. how do i fix this? | 12:53 |
| tyler_d | sandb____: you are trying to forward a local port for svn to yourself and have it connect through ssh to the actual svn server yes? | 12:53 |
| mmm4m5m | sobrediggler: as I see, it is "!" in /etc/shadow = disabled account... compdoc: yes, but I can't find info in google.. When I change it to "*" (like user daemon for example), then ssh works - I can ssh as root user (key authentication) | 12:53 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: no you're looking at the output from my local Mac when I am trying to use svn | 12:53 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: in a nutshell | 12:53 |
| sobrediggler | dude ! just disables any login | 12:53 |
| TJ- | sandb____: ahhhh! | 12:54 |
| tyler_d | sandb____: very good, thanks for the update and let me know if I can help at all | 12:54 |
| sobrediggler | if you check out the source code for usermod you'll find that out | 12:54 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: i've been able to tunnel through the proxy to get a remote ssh session | 12:54 |
| sobrediggler | yeah ... the usermod -p ! blahblahb | 12:54 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: but trying to use svn+ssh to tunnel through the proxy is breaking | 12:54 |
| mmm4m5m | sobrediggler: so, is it bad to change it to "*" - I do not want to enable root account... I need it only for ssh | 12:54 |
| tyler_d | sandb____: you don't need to proxy it if you have ssh access to the local system and can do port forwarding; or am I missing something? | 12:55 |
| TJ- | tyler_d: do join in! the error is "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" when doing "svn co svn+tssh://localhost/usr/local/svn/repos/fig/trunk" | 12:55 |

| tyler_d | TJ-: sandb____ hte problem there is that you haven't specified a port other than "localhost"... you need to tell it what port to try on localhost to hit the tunnel | 13:03 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: TJ-: https://gist.github.com/543e255e051b8a865ba1 <- updated with all info | 13:03 |
| sandb____ | tyler_d: it's def hitting the tunnel because the tunnel session on the proxy is reporting an error | 13:03 |
| sandb____ | but ^^^^ gist should make it clear | 13:03 |
| TJ- | tyler_d: That's in the svn config file, defined as "tssh = ssh -p 1234" | 13:04 |
| tyler_d | ahh | 13:04 |

| TJ- | sandb____: "channel 3: open failed" refers to "svnserver:4567" - are you running an SSH daemon on port 4567 of svnserver? | 13:09 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: no | 13:22 |
| sandb____ | seems not | 13:22 |
| TJ- | sandb____: well that makes sense! Linode server *must* be able to resolve 'svnserver' - I was assuming you were replacing 'svnserver' with a real public DNS host.domain.tld | 13:22 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yes, i'm looking to see where the heck that's coming from | 13:22 |
| sandb____ | because i'm not using 'svnserver' myself that I can see | 13:23 |
| blackshirt | pdk: ifconfig eth0 up | 13:23 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: ackk... it's in the tunnel setup, i think a too literal C&P | 13:23 |
| TJ- | sandb____: from when you configure the Mac's local tunnel ("ssh -L 1234:svnserver:4567 server1" - 'svnserver' needs to be a public DNS name, or an IP address | 13:23 |
| liwiki | hi | 13:23 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yep, i think i just copied that line without thinking about it too hard :) | 13:24 |

| ManDay | 90%, even | 13:32 |
| TJ- | sandb____: How about the username on 'svnserver' - if its not the same as your username on the Mac, you have to specify it | 13:32 |
| ThinkT510 | ManDay: nomodeset is a boot parameter | 13:32 |
| MonkeyDust | ManDay for the remaining 10%, you may want to try it | 13:32 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: okay i've fixed my pure-connection problem | 13:32 |
| ManDay | MonkeyDust: Fair enough... | 13:32 |
| TJ- | sandb____: '5678' must be the port on 'svnserver' that the sshd there is listening on | 13:32 |

| Anubis | fidel: yes | 13:38 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: using --username didn't work (i.e. didn't set the username), using user@localhost did | 13:38 |
| sandb____ | but, as you see, something odd has happened | 13:38 |

| === crazydip_ is now known as crazydip | ||
| TJ- | sandb____: and check Linode's auth.log to be sure it isn't trying to authenticate on the Linode, rather than the svnserver | 13:39 |
| sandb____ | i don't see an auth fail on the linode | 13:39 |
| TJ- | sandb____: that's good news. | 13:40 |
| sandb____ | my understanding is that using svn+ssh you're effectively using unix logins | 13:40 |
| sandb____ | so the password here, is the password for the account on the machine (as if you were using ssh to get a session) | 13:40 |
| crazydip | is there a good gtk (gnome) gui for git like bazaar explorer? | 13:40 |
| TJ- | sandb____: so, the last question. Can you, from the Linode, do "ssh -l dcartwright svnserver" ? | 13:40 |
| Anubis | fidel: i tested with opera and firefox and both browsers reports untrusted site. Opera: the server certificate chain is incomplete and the signer(s) are not registered. | 13:40 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: yes, that works | 13:41 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: also works passwordless | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | Cove, you've obviously used the wrong image , try the 32 bit ubuntu image/iso | 13:41 |
| Anubis | i guess it's because it's a self signed certificate, isn't it ? | 13:41 |

| TJ- | sandb____: hmmm... is svnserver setup to only accept certificates? If so, it *needs* your public cert from the Mac. On the Linode, it's using the pub.cert. from the Linode | 13:42 |

| morethananoise | crazydip: anything i do not have to install? some utility that comes with system.. | 14:13 |
| TJ- | fidel: :p OK ... just trying to get a picture in my mind of what would have happened and how to fix it. The core of the issue is the disk has a GPT (GUID partition table) rather than a 'legacy' MSDOS partition table. One implication of that is when the GRUB bootloader is installed, it should be installing "grub-efi" rather than "grub-pc". | 14:14 |
| fidel | TJ-: grub-efi vs grub-pc is a good pointer. agreeing to the rest | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | tryy3: why do you need moer ram? swap partition should handle out of ram cases | 14:14 |
| crazydip | morethananoise: in truth i don't even know what is and what's not installed by default as i have had nmap and other programs installed for years :) | 14:15 |
| TJ- | fidel: One thing to always keep in mind - since it can easily catch us out - is that on a GPT disk there is a 'dummy' MSDOS partition label to prevent legacy tools corrupting the GPT | 14:15 |
| tryy3 | dr_willis i ment that gnome was using alot of ram usage :D | 14:15 |
| TJ- | fidel: So doing the usual grub-pc updates of the MBR and so forth doesn't have the magic effect one would suppose :) | 14:16 |
| morethananoise | crazydip: I see. But it helped me, that is what i need, gonna check it out when im back in school. :) Is there something like psshutdown? That come turn off linux by lan? (psshutdown is for windows) | 14:16 |
| fidel | TJ-: yep i was trying to use fdisk during live-cd which failed as well - i assume this is also a uefi/gpt issue | 14:17 |
| TJ- | fidel: Have you read this page, and in particular the section "Converting Ubuntu into EFI mode" ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:17 |
| fidel | TJ-: i do see 3 partitions created on that disk by the 12.04 installer: uefi-partition + linux + swap | 14:18 |
| crazydip | morethananoise: practically no as it would be a monster of a security risk | 14:18 |
| crazydip | morethananoise: just use ssh | 14:18 |

| ska | Is there an easy way to get UFS-read/write support in 12.04? | 14:21 |
| crazydip | morethananoise: ssh will allow you to log into the computer with sshd (server) installed and you will be able to use it as if you were right in front of the computer inside a terminal - so you will be able to do a LOT more than just turn it off :) | 14:22 |

| bercik1 | Hi | 14:41 |
| simonpe^^_ | Does QtDBus have it's own independent implementation of dbus server/client? I happened to notice that dbus is GPL and Qt LGPL. Can I use QtDBus in a proprietary application? | 14:41 |
| crazydip | sasuke: inside your ubuntu guest, mount the cdrom and inside it there will be linux-install-guest-addition.sh or something like that | 14:41 |
| crazydip | sasuke: run that from the terminal | 14:41 |
| wilee-nilee | sasuke, for exacting instructions there is also a #vbox channel if needed. | 14:42 |
| bercik1 | I just downloaded, built and installed the leatest ATi drivers, but fglrxinfo still displays GLX. Any ideas how to fix that please? | 14:42 |
| crazydip | sasuke: also before installing guest additions you must install dkms | 14:43 |
| sasuke | crazydip, hi i mounted it on /media. inside the iso i found "autorun.sh" & "runasroot.sh" | 14:43 |
| crazydip | forgot about that | 14:43 |
| sasuke | dkms pck | 14:44 |
| crazydip | sasuke: hold on let me mount check where it's at | 14:44 |
| sasuke | wilee-nilee, i got it | 14:45 |
| sasuke | wilee-nilee, i got it thnx | 14:45 |
| wilee-nilee | sasuke, I would use the vbox channel rather then getting sort of accurate info here to be honest | 14:45 |
| fidel | TJ-: as i was curious: it seems to be related with the 12.04 installer & the hardware. if i do run the 10.04 server install it works without issues including rebooting ;) | 14:45 |

| sasuke | crazydip, i have VBoxLinuxAdditions.run also in that. Can you tell me i can i install | 14:48 |
| jrib | morethananoise: do you want a gui on the installed system? (i.e. do you just want to avoid gui for the installer?) | 14:48 |
| sasuke | crazydip, i though only sh files will work on ubuntu. | 14:48 |

| wilee-nilee | jrib, good question. ;) | 14:49 |
| fidel | morethananoise: yep there is | 14:49 |
| crazydip | sasuke: it's just an extension it does not matter, what matters is what's inside, which is actually an sh script anyway :) | 14:49 |
| morethananoise | jrib: i do not want any x, like gnome etc.. | 14:49 |
| jrib | !minimal | morethananoise | 14:49 |
| ubottu | morethananoise: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:49 |
| fidel | morethananoise:then use the server-cd and pick nothing in the package-selection | 14:50 |
| crazydip | sasuke: run it like this: sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run | 14:50 |
| morethananoise | fidel: Is there any way with regular CD? | 14:50 |
| silverarrow | morethananoise: no, only macs work with ubuntu | 14:51 |
| nwillems | Has anyone experience ubuntu overwriting files after a power failure? I have jenkins installed and after a power failure it was reverted back to the old one from the repos :( | 14:51 |
| fidel | morethananoise: well you could remove all the packagages afterwards ...which is messy & time consuming | 14:51 |
| jrib | silverarrow: please don't do that :x | 14:51 |
| crazydip | sasuke: also note that i'm on the oracle's version of virtualbox not ubuntu's (not the 100% open source) | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | jrib, yeah, it was a bit naughty of me | 14:51 |
| fidel | morethananoise: no - i dont know a way using the normal cd - but that does not mean there is no way at all | 14:51 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: in the event of a power failure the only way to ensure a sane system is to re-install | 14:51 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: I would suggest that, and a ups | 14:52 |
| fidel | morethananoise: just go for jribs advice and use the minimal cd or the server one | 14:52 |
| funky1 | hi all, trying to install vmware server on ubuntu 12.04 | 14:52 |
| funky1 | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running | 14:52 |
| funky1 | kernel? | 14:52 |
| fidel | morethananoise: the main diff is the default package-selection ...and desktop-cd comes with tons of pre-selected packages | 14:52 |
| nwillems | tyler_d: as in a complete reinstall? Not just disk-check/cleanup maybee some sanity check of files? | 14:52 |
| sasuke | crazydip, its installing.. now should i need to install any pcks | 14:52 |
| funky1 | how can i find that out? | 14:52 |
| jrib | !vmware | funky1 | 14:53 |
| ubottu | funky1: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 14:53 |
| funky1 | vmwareserver | 14:53 |
| jrib | funky1: read the link | 14:53 |
| crazydip | pcks? you mean packages? well you needed dkms otherwise you will have to reinstall the additions after every kernel upgrade | 14:53 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: the only way to ensure sanity is a complete re-install. the problem being that procs write to disk, when a power failure occurs its the same as the disk becoming full. you don't know where and at what point and what files were opened or written to and just stopped. | 14:53 |
| wangpeng | i dont like ubuntu | 14:53 |
| funky1 | yes | 14:53 |
| funky1 | already been there | 14:53 |
| funky1 | does not solve my problem | 14:53 |
| ThinkT510 | wangpeng: then don't use it | 14:53 |
| silverarrow | wangpeng: yeah, so that is why you are here | 14:54 |
| funky1 | still asking for the proper location of c header files | 14:54 |
| nwillems | tyler_d: But these files that were open would probably have some faulty file ending, or how? | 14:54 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: however, if you are satisfied with a few sanity checks then I would say cary on. but in the future if something doesn't behave as it should... it is possibly related to this. | 14:54 |
| wangpeng | i don't like but i must use it | 14:54 |
| crazydip | sasuke: pcks? you mean packages? well you needed dkms otherwise you will have to reinstall the additions after every kernel upgrade | 14:54 |
| wangpeng | i want to meet you | 14:54 |
| jrib | funky1: well what steps on the wiki are you following exactly? | 14:54 |
| jrib | !ot | wangpeng | 14:55 |
| ubottu | wangpeng: #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! | 14:55 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: I don't know how all of your applications write to files or swap or memory; nor all of your daemons running. | 14:55 |
| funky1 | yes | 14:55 |
| funky1 | but again those steps are not for 12.04 | 14:55 |
| jrib | funky1: so you aren't following the wiki? Yes, the wiki is outdated, but you can see what the steps were for earlier versions of ubuntu | 14:55 |
| sasuke | crazydip, i restarted the vbox. | 14:55 |
| nwillems | tyler_d: but back to the original problem, I had made a symlink from jenkins-<newer.version>.war | 14:55 |
| funky1 | yes i did that and this is not first time i install vmware server | 14:55 |
| wangpeng | are you anger? | 14:56 |
| funky1 | but it is giving me trouble when it needs to locate the c header files | 14:56 |
| jrib | funky1: so I repeat my question: what steps on the wiki are you following exactly? | 14:56 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: ... ok? | 14:56 |
| tyler_d | I missed the orig question sorry. | 14:56 |

| nwillems | tyler_d: no, it is replaced by the original package. It seems that ubuntu made som recover mode, and discovered that jenkins.war was no longer the one from the package and then replaced it :s | 14:58 |
| funky1 | jrib: that is not the right directory | 14:59 |

| nwillems | tyler_d: sorry, yes it is not there. it is replaced. | 15:00 |
| tyler_d | nwillems: I do not know what that package is I'm sorry. But my advise is still the same; you are trying to fix a volatile system that is not predictable now; and who knows the levels that this is now broken. | 15:00 |

| wilee-nilee | foobArrr, edit-preferences-music set the file you want watched | 15:03 |
| nwillems | tyler_d: Its a 30M file - it doesn't just get there. The jenkins.war is located in /usr/shar/jenkins/jenkins.war, i switched the real file for a symlink to a file in the same dir. It just seems VERY strange that it is replaced. If the system failed, it should just recover any broken inodes or such and then get up and running again, not replace my files. So I'm seeking an explanation on how this happened. | 15:03 |

| llutz | !ntfs | pendi23 | 15:29 |
| ubottu | pendi23: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 15:29 |
| Hatori | pendi23, you should more detail | 15:29 |
| pendi23 | During the installation I set auto-mounting of the partition. Being an Administrator, I use it normally. But it doesn't work by a "normal-user" account. | 15:30 |
| bkc_ | pendi23: -o user,rw,auto | 15:32 |
| pendi23 | Thanks, I'll try it. | 15:36 |

| utabak | Is there a way to install ia32-libs for ubuntu 12.04 | 15:37 |
| utabak | I have been trying for an hour without any success | 15:37 |
| bkc_ | utabak: ia32-libs-multiarch | 15:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | utabak: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107230/what-happened-to-the-ia32-libs-package | 15:38 |
| utabak | bkc_: lots of dependency problems which I could not understand | 15:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | utabak: try to google before you ask :) | 15:38 |
| utabak | WhereIsMySpoon: I read that manual already | 15:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | utabak: so you tried sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 gcc-4.6-base:i386 libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 | 15:39 |
| utabak | WhereIsMySpoon: none helped | 15:39 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ? | 15:39 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | wil_: #xubuntu | 15:42 |
| wil_ | thanks | 15:42 |
| wil_ | But I think I have this problem at every operating system xD | 15:43 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | wil_: you can try asking here too, if it isnt too specific | 15:43 |
| wil_ | it isnt very specific | 15:43 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | xubuntu is quite similar to ubuntu, just has less stuff | 15:43 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | wil_: then ask | 15:43 |
| wil_ | yeah | 15:43 |
| wil_ | On a moment my CPU fan stops using | 15:43 |
| wil_ | and then my CPU will get too hot | 15:43 |
| jrib | utabak: so do you have any unofficial packages installed or unofficial repositories enabled? | 15:43 |
| wil_ | and then my pc turns off | 15:44 |

| davidgilmour | anyone knows how can i convert a raw file made by dd to iso? | 15:45 |
| kermit | davidgilmour: convert? if its a raw file with dd, it already is an iso | 15:45 |
| wil_ | nope | 15:45 |
| kermit | davidgilmour: i mean, if yuo dd'd an iso, its still an iso | 15:46 |
| wil_ | whreismyspoon no | 15:46 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | wil_: sounds more like a hardware issue than anything else tbh | 15:46 |
| Mechdave_ | davidgilmour, just rename the extension of the file to .iso and it will be :) | 15:46 |
| davidgilmour | actually i'm using ddrescue. i want to make a disk image.. the output is the same as an iso format? | 15:46 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | afk | 15:47 |
| jrib | utabak: I can try to help you, but it will take a few rounds of pastebin | 15:47 |
| wil_ | well, then it should stop when I boot the laptop don't yo think so | 15:47 |
| wil_ | ? | 15:47 |

| jrib | utabak: pastebin output of « sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines:i386 | 15:47 |

| Mechdave_ | davidgilmour, yes but you will end up with a iso of your hard disk. | 15:48 |
| utabak | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260185/ | 15:48 |
| wil_ | I think I can better post my problem at the forums | 15:49 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, I got that when I enabled precise-proposed | 15:49 |
| wil_ | what is better, askubuntu or ubuntforums | 15:49 |
| jrib | utabak: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 | 15:49 |
| llutz | davidgilmour: "ISO" refers to iso9660 (used for cd-roms). so no, you'll get just a plain image-file | 15:49 |
| utabak | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260192/ | 15:50 |
| davidgilmour | that's good enough as long as i can restore it back as i would like an iso :) | 15:50 |

| === PrAsHaNt is now known as PaSsI_ | ||
| Mechdave_ | davidgilmour, There are other options too. Maybe read man dd before you do anything | 15:53 |
| utabak | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260197/ where are you trying to reach ;-) | 15:53 |
| jrib | utabak: sudo apt-get install libxrender1:i386 eventually, it should say package is X version but I want Y | 15:54 |
| jrib | utabak: sometimes I try to make a smart choice about the chain to follow, but don't always succeed ;) | 15:54 |
| utabak | ok before you asked I understood what you try to do and now a lot packages to be removed | 15:54 |
| utabak | with that command | 15:54 |
| jrib | utabak: pastebin | 15:55 |

| datruth | Hey when a person leaves there laptop on charge 99% of the time they use does this kill the battery? | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | utabak still struggling with ia-32 ? | 15:59 |
| Mechdave_ | datruth, It killed mine | 15:59 |
| utabak | MonkeyDust: unfortunately | 15:59 |
| ThinkT510 | datruth: not that i've noticed | 15:59 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, I installed ia32-libs-multiarch without problems | 16:00 |
| datruth | Mechdave_: ;/ | 16:00 |
| jrib | utabak: out of curiousity what does this do: sudo apt-get install -f | 16:00 |
| utabak | jrib: that is also strange but it does nothing | 16:00 |
| osse | is there a CLI way of adjusting the sound volume as if you used the "systray" icon? | 16:00 |
| datruth | my laptop is a desktop replacement so I uusually leave it on charge I guess this is a bad thing | 16:00 |
| Mechdave_ | jrib, I had the same problem when I installed precise-proposed packages to get gvfs working with japanese char sets | 16:01 |
| Mechdave_ | jrib, Just wondering if there is a proposed package breaking things there somewhere | 16:02 |
| jrib | utabak: usually it turns out something like Mechdave_ suggests. Either -proposed or -updates was enabled at one point, an upgrade was done, and then it was disabled. But this last apt-get output confuses me. Does Mechdave_'s suggestion ring any bells? | 16:03 |
| Mechdave_ | datruth, I was told by my battery supplier to "exercise" the battery on a regular basis | 16:03 |
| jrib | osse: hmm. Have you tried using pacmd maybe? | 16:03 |
| bookman | who knows how to install "curl" out of terminal? The server is busy and doesn`t want to download curl | 16:03 |

| yujadeh | this is the ubuntu channel? | 16:04 |

| datruth | Mechdave_: I see | 16:04 |
| bazhang | yujadeh, yes | 16:04 |
| jrib | utabak: regarding the -proposed or -updates repository being enabled and then disabled | 16:04 |
| bookman | jrib: i tried to install it through terminal | 16:04 |
| yujadeh | ohh thx bazhang | 16:04 |
| jrib | bookman: yes? | 16:04 |
| Mechdave_ | bookman, start with sudo apt-get install curl | 16:05 |
| bookman | jrib: but the rezult is 0 | 16:05 |
| jrib | bookman: pastebin full input and output | 16:05 |
| bookman | jrib: the server is unaibale | 16:05 |
| yujadeh | someone know if i can open metacity with lightdm stoped? | 16:05 |
| Mechdave_ | bookman, then how to use is man curl | 16:05 |
| utabak | jrib: I did not understand what I should do now, confused, | 16:05 |
| bookman | jrib: ok, i`ll try that =) | 16:05 |
| jrib | utabak: did you ever enable ubuntu-updates or ubuntu-proposed repositories? | 16:05 |
| osse | jrib: no I haven't. It looks interesting. I'll experiment with it. Thanks =) | 16:06 |
| utabak | jrib: I am not sure but what is the point? | 16:06 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, did you change the software sources in Ubuntu Software Center at all lately? | 16:06 |
| jrib | utabak: it's often the cause of issues like these | 16:06 |
| johangod | im installing mac in virtualbox :D | 16:06 |
| bookman | Mechdave: I know how to use it, I can`t download =) It`s on desktop, on laptop it`s okay =) | 16:06 |
| yujadeh | someone can help me with ligthdm? | 16:06 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: ok this is better, yes, I played with them today after these problems | 16:07 |
| jrib | !ask | yujadeh | 16:07 |
| ubottu | yujadeh: 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 | 16:07 |
| bookman | Mechdave_: I know how to use it, I can`t download =) It`s on desktop, on laptop it`s okay = | 16:07 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: not software resources but the synaptic gui, that is the same I guess | 16:07 |
| yujadeh | can i close lightdm and open only metacity? | 16:08 |
| jrib | yujadeh: lightdm is the login screen were you enter your password | 16:08 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, do you remember which packages were installed when you played around with the sources? | 16:08 |
| yujadeh | im so confused xD | 16:08 |
| pr0metheu5 | Is there a way to edit gnome appearance settings within fluxbox | 16:08 |
| yujadeh | so, i have to stop gdm and then open metacity only? | 16:08 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: I tried to install ia32-libs from there but it was not possible so I could not install any packages | 16:09 |
| Mechdave_ | bookman, Ok maybe you might have to wait until the server is not so busy :) | 16:09 |
| bookman | Mechdave_: ok =) | 16:09 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: but is not there a root solution for this? | 16:09 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: something like leaving only sources of the supported software in sources.list and update , sth like this?? | 16:10 |
| jrib | pr0metheu5: I just edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini , but there are programs that at least let you change the gtk2 settings (gtk-chtheme is one I just found in the repositories) | 16:10 |
| johangod | i have soon tried almost every linux distros and i think xubuntu is the best :D | 16:10 |
| jrib | yujadeh: why? | 16:10 |
| jrib | !who | yujadeh | 16:10 |
| ubottu | yujadeh: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:10 |
| jrib | utabak: how did you modify your sources exactly? | 16:11 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, There is a way, just takes some finding. One way is to identify which packages belong to proposed and unsupported and updates and selectively removing them | 16:11 |
| johangod | just one bad thing i cant disable keyring... can someone help me with that? | 16:11 |
| yujadeh | !tab | 16:11 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:11 |
| yujadeh | jrib: I want to close the gnome shell and only start metacity | 16:11 |
| OerHeks | utabak, if you are on 12.04, your system is multi-arch, so no ned for IA32-libs | 16:11 |
| bobweaver | metacity --replace | 16:11 |
| yujadeh | but cant stop it with /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 16:12 |
| utabak | OerHeks: this is even strange | 16:12 |
| jrib | yujadeh: gdm is also a login screen. Lightdm is the default login screen. They serve different functions than unity, gnome shell, and metacity | 16:12 |
| bazhang | yujadeh, those are two different things, gdm and lightdm. why are you wanting metacity only, by the way | 16:12 |
| jrib | OerHeks: here's the output of « sudo apt-get install libxrender1:i386 » for utabak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260201/ | 16:13 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, ps aux | grep <name that you want to get info on> then kill pid , example killall unity-2d-{shell,pannel,spread} && metacity --replace | 16:13 |
| utabak | jrib: basically the source of the problem started with "./gmsh: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" | 16:13 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: thx im trying it | 16:13 |
| utabak | jrib, OerHeks , Mechdave_ : then started on its mailing list and found out that it is related to ia32-libs | 16:14 |
| jrib | utabak: output of « uname -m » ? | 16:14 |
| utabak | jrib: x86_64 | 16:14 |
| OerHeks | utabak did you somewere use 'Aptitude' ? | 16:14 |
| utabak | OerHeks: yes, why | 16:15 |
| MonkeyDust | ah! | 16:15 |
| windows-pure-ago | ls | 16:15 |
| windows-pure-ago | ls | 16:15 |
| bazhang | nice catch OerHeks | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | utabak, then i found your problem, paptitude is depreciated since ubuntu is multiarch | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 16:15 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 16:15 |
| bazhang | windows-pure-ago, wrong terminal | 16:15 |
| windows-pure-ago | sorry just a habit | 16:15 |
| utabak | OerHeks: ok, so what should I do now look at the page there on | 16:16 |

| bobweaver | BlackNarcissus, where browser are you useing and where did you get flash ect ? | 16:17 |
| MonkeyDust | BlackNarcissus right click on the video, enable/disable accelleration (i forget which) | 16:17 |
| bobweaver | s|where | what | 16:17 |
| OerHeks | i would go for a fresh install, as aptitude did wreck your system | 16:17 |
| napster | !grub | 16:17 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 16:17 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: i think we dont understand xD | 16:17 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, jrib OerHeks I don't suppose they all are 32 bit marked for removal? | 16:17 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, what are you trying to do with metacity ? | 16:18 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: wait a moment ill try to explain better | 16:18 |
| midnightcoffee | not sure if this is the right place for this question. I'm trying to setup pyclewn and the instructions say "The installation process uses the environment variable EDITOR to invoke Vim and install the pyclewn help file, gvim is used when this environment variable is not found." how do ..what/how do i set my environment variable and to what? | 16:18 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, jrib OerHeks Have you got your $HOME on a seperate partition than / | 16:18 |
| BlackNarcissus | bobweaver: I'm using the latest Firefox and I installed flash via flashplugin-installer. I also tried getting the libflashplayer.so and putting it in .mozilla/plugins to no avail. | 16:18 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: no it is on / | 16:18 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, I think maybe you should back up your $HOME asap :) | 16:19 |
| BlackNarcissus | MonkeyDust: I tried and it the same, I did a fresh install and now I'm not even able to click the checkbox... | 16:19 |
| bobweaver | BlackNarcissus, you have installed Ubuntu-restricted-extras ? <<spelling could be wrong | 16:19 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: why do you say so? | 16:19 |
| BlackNarcissus | bobweaver: Yes | 16:20 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: i want to kill the graphics and only leave the window manager | 16:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | Is there an easy way to automate mirroring additions to Home on a separate partition, but not deletions? | 16:20 |
| jrib | utabak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260201/ isn't aptitude output, right? It's apt-get output? I'm kind of curious about what you did with aptitude if you happen to remember | 16:20 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, what DE are you using atm ? | 16:20 |
| utabak | jrib: all the pastebins are 'apt-get' | 16:20 |
| bazhang | yujadeh, you want a window manager without an xserver? | 16:20 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, well in case you need to do a fresh install. It pays to back up everything while your system is still working. It is much harder to back up after the system is broken. When you have package problems such as you have it is very easy to break your system accidently | 16:20 |
| yujadeh | bazhang: yep thats it | 16:21 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: I was also afraid of this | 16:21 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, it is just a precaution at the moment | 16:21 |
| MonkeyDust | utabak i agree, fresh install is faster and easier than a repair -- backup first! | 16:21 |
| yujadeh | bazhang: what i should do? | 16:22 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: ok I will start backing up | 16:22 |
| Krasus | Hey, I need to do a simple poster for my school work what program is best for it? something simple i m not a pro when it comes to graphic :) | 16:22 |

| MonkeyDust | Krasus inkscape | 16:23 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: omw | 16:23 |
| === richard is now known as Guest85484 | ||
| === Guest85484 is now known as Richie | ||
| Krasus | MonkeyDust, k thx. Do u have some basic guide of inkscape usage ? | 16:23 |
| === Richie is now known as _Richie_ | ||
| bazhang | Krasus, #inkscape has a channel here on freenode | 16:24 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: i dont find it bob | 16:24 |
| fidel | Krasus: in general there is no best ;). my advice would be 'gimp' - and maybe: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ | 16:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Krasus i know it makes vector graphics, you can easily resize | 16:25 |
| Krasus | thx fidel and MonkeyDust | 16:25 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, Have you been using Synaptic? | 16:25 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, two things to look at man startx and man metacity | 16:25 |
| bobweaver | bith anwsers are in there | 16:25 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: yes | 16:25 |
| bobweaver | both * | 16:25 |
| Krasus | MonkeyDust, i got 2 logos and i want to make a simple poster with them | 16:25 |
| Krasus | plus some words like when where etc. | 16:25 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, could you find broken packages with that? | 16:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Krasus gimp is for image manipulation, then fidel 's suggestion may be better | 16:26 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, like here --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/122105/how-do-i-locate-and-remove-broken-packages-that-i-have-installed | 16:26 |
| bobweaver | like metacity --display=waylan --replace | 16:26 |
| Krasus | ok i will try but i m afraid Gimp maybe to complicated for me | 16:26 |
| Krasus | but i will give a try | 16:26 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: and if i want to kill a x session? | 16:26 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, why ? | 16:27 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: but I should do a backup first I guess... | 16:27 |

| yujadeh | bobweaver: for example, i want to enter in only text mode and then open a terminal and start a program like firefox or something | 16:29 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: I did an upgrade last week and it was also problematic but after all I had a working system, now this problem popped up... | 16:29 |
| MonkeyDust | utabak use rsync -avv --progress ~ [destination] | 16:29 |
| utabak | MonkeyDust: what is that for?? | 16:29 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, which upgrade was that? | 16:30 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, like tty1 ? then startx with metacity as windows manager ? | 16:30 |
| MonkeyDust | utabak backup, i hit enter just when you said something | 16:30 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: to 12.04 | 16:30 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: yep | 16:30 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, from 11.10? | 16:30 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: yes | 16:30 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, what version of Ubuntu is this that we are talking about ? | 16:31 |
| bobweaver | and WM please | 16:31 |
| bobweaver | gdm lightdm ect | 16:31 |
| jente | hi, I disabled the onboard sound in favor of a soundblaster live! card. the onboard sound, however, is still the main output device. do I have to delete the info of an onboard sound somewhere or is blacklisting the modules the way to go? setting priorities as mentioned in the wiki did nothing and leave the onboard sound as first device being used | 16:31 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: 12.04 | 16:31 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, I always prefer to do a fresh install between versions. Makes for a nicer system. I have always had many problems with dist upgrades :) | 16:31 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: indeed this is what I will also do from now on, this was not a major problem when I was a Debian fan ;-) | 16:32 |
| jente | I should mention that I am using the alsa soundsystem | 16:33 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, you have looked also @ sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager && sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager | 16:33 |
| Mechdave_ | utabak, Lol, Debian is a bit less user friendly though :) | 16:33 |
| kostkon | jente, plain alsa, without pulse? | 16:33 |
| yujadeh | bobweaver: nopes, im trying thx | 16:33 |
| utabak | Mechdave_: yes but these kinds of updates almost went without problems | 16:33 |
| jente | kostkon: yes, I got lubuntu installed yesterday and just found out that it does not use pulseaudio | 16:34 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, that is kinda the old way of doing it (I think) that is what I do with Debian Hurd | 16:34 |

| jono | hey bobweaver! | 16:38 |
| kostkon | jente, i think it will list your sb as Live. so, then just try doing: sudo asoundconf set-default-card Live | 16:38 |

| xibalba | i usually post my Q and load the man page at the same time :) | 16:40 |
| kostkon | jente, hmm | 16:40 |
| bobweaver | yujadeh, press ctrl+lt+f1 then run ps aux | grep gnome-session is it running and is it there ? you can kill by doing kill <pid> then make a new script that man startx talks about and launch startx then launch metacity with it | 16:40 |
| bobweaver | ctrl+alt+f1 * | 16:41 |

| timposey | I do not even know what terms to search for on this, but I have a Ubuntu 12.04 system installed on a disk and the disk is almost full, I have another 200 gb drive that is empty, is there a way that the system can automatically see this new drive as an extenstion of the system so that it just starts to use this new drive as if it were a new section on the old drive as to say? | 17:11 |
| c_smith_ | EweR_, root is never on by default in Ubuntu | 17:11 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 17:34 |
| DrooidKun | When it's out, it should be something like sudo apt-dist upgrade in the terminal | 17:35 |
| jente | if I don't run into any trouble, I will stick with alsa for now, otherwise I will not hesitate and get puleaudio | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | jente, well if you're using the analog output then pulseaudio is another layer of audio processing which degrades the audio quality somewhat , doing 2 digital processes instead of just one thru alsa | 17:35 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | DrooidKun no | 17:35 |
| ubottu | DrooidKun no: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 17:35 |

| trism | tomasm-: dpkg-deb -x filename.deb /path/to/extract/to; | 17:38 |
| jente | BluesKaj: yes, I meant just plain alsa compared to pulseaudio on top of alsa | 17:38 |
| smw | tomasm-, yes, it is a compressed tar file | 17:38 |
| theadmin | tomasm-: No, it's an ar archive with a bunch of other stuff in it, the actual "contents" (i.e. files that package installs) are in the "data.tar.gz" part of the archive. | 17:39 |
| smw | theadmin, oh? I though it was a tar archive :-\ | 17:39 |
| theadmin | smw: I don't understand the full structure myself, complicated much :/ | 17:39 |
| jente | BluesKaj: if you like, I can report back to you on how sound is doing here | 17:40 |

| smw | tomasm-, what I can tell you for sure is that a deb is just an archive with files that describe how to install the files | 17:41 |

| neglesaks | msmith0957, enable the checkbox saying IPv4 must be confiures to use the connection (or how it is worded) | 17:47 |
| msmith0957 | i'm assuming my ssl connections arent working properly over ipv6 | 17:48 |
| theadmin | msmith0957: Right-click the Network Manager's icon, choose "Edit Connections", find your WLAN, click Edit, go to the IPv4 tab, perform configuration as required by your ISP | 17:48 |

| glebihan | sram, why not | 17:52 |
| bazhang | ramprasadgk, stop it | 17:52 |
| theadmin | sram: Mount your ssh stuff as an sshfs to a folder and then simply copy as you would locally. | 17:52 |
| sram | what about scp with password like scp -B | 17:53 |
| sram | i will shell it | 17:53 |
| sram | i tried scp -B it did not work | 17:54 |
| theadmin | sram: I don't think there is a way for ssh to accept plaintext password (that'd be just plain insecure and silly) | 17:54 |
| jente | BluesKaj: spdif is a dream of mine, but I don't have the hardware for that | 17:54 |

| shomon | xangua, double click where? | 17:57 |
| hubby_ | adamsobotka : Hi ? | 17:57 |
| glebihan | sram, you can share a public key with as many people as you want, changes nothing about security, there's a reason why it's called public | 17:57 |

| shomon | it was in a zip, but it then opened in it's app thanks | 17:58 |
| sram | true its abt private key...though lil reluctant | 17:58 |
| sram | wanted to try scp if its designed to use with -B flag | 17:58 |
| sram | to supply password | 17:58 |
| glebihan | sram, the point is : using a key is *much* more secure than using a plaintext password in the command would be | 17:59 |

| theadmin | jrib: Correction, it starts with "linux" nowadays I think | 18:29 |

| unsobill | is there fix for that | 18:29 |
| bruce2 | on main GNU GRUB page I have "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-43-server" | 18:29 |

| bruce2 | that says: | 18:30 |
| bruce2 | k | 18:30 |
| bruce2 | no line with kernel | 18:30 |
| jrib | bruce2: as theadmin pointed out, your line may start with "linux" instead | 18:30 |

| bruce2 | mine is like, "linux /vmlinux-2.6................" | 18:31 |
| bruce2 | and I see the username there too | 18:31 |
| bruce2 | I think | 18:32 |
| bruce2 | line is ending with "ro \" is that right? | 18:32 |
| unsobill | theadmin doing it now | 18:32 |
| theadmin | bruce2: Yes, that looks like the right one, just add "init=/bin/bash" to the end of it | 18:32 |
| bruce2 | but right under it I have, " quiet" | 18:33 |
| unsobill | theadmin, shit my video still flickers :( | 18:33 |
| bruce2 | so I am wondering if end of line is after " quiet" ? | 18:33 |
| theadmin | unsobill: That might not have anything to do with codecs | 18:33 |
| unsobill | its that avi file im trying to view | 18:33 |
| unsobill | :/ | 18:33 |
| theadmin | unsobill: Video drivers maybe | 18:33 |
| bruce2 | also the last line is, "initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-43-server" | 18:33 |
| unsobill | weird really because no other video doing that | 18:33 |
| unsobill | like mov playing fine | 18:33 |
| theadmin | bruce2: Doesn't really matter where you add the init thing, long as it's on the linux line, but yes, you should probably add it after "quiet" | 18:34 |

| bruce2_ | lock it so that even a local user can't login? | 18:44 |
| k1l | tryy3|Coding: is this gonna be a running gag, or smth? | 18:44 |
| bruce2_ | got it | 18:44 |

| sayres | hi.how can I install virtualbox 4.2 in ubuntu 12.4??? | 18:45 |
| jrib | theadmin: does usermod also delete the password? I remember at some point recovery mode not working properly if root's password hash just had a '!' in front of it instead of being replaced by '!'. « passwd -dl root » should work though | 18:45 |
| menturi | Hello. Is there something similar to this http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Selection_0021.png for Ubuntu 12.04 (with Unity). | 18:45 |
| thepreacher | #conky | 18:45 |
| theadmin | jrib: No, "usermod -L" just puts a ! in front of the hash, so that you can unlock it by "usermod -U" anytime | 18:45 |
| jrib | bruce2_: getent group admin; getent group sudo | 18:45 |
| theadmin | jrib: Good point though, never realized that it'd break things | 18:46 |
| k1l | sayres: load the .deb file from their homepage? | 18:46 |
| tryy3|Coding | k1l what you mean? | 18:46 |
| bruce2_ | jrib: I only use the user I just created and next line, "sudo:x:27:" | 18:46 |
| bruce2_ | that does mean that previously user "root" was used? | 18:47 |
| bruce2_ | *as admin* | 18:47 |
| jrib | bruce2_: was anyone in the "admin" group? | 18:47 |
| theadmin | bruce2_: Depending on who mantained the server, it's possible they activated the root account (although that's seriously a bad idea) | 18:47 |
| sayres | k1l:sorry dude.Im from iran I cant download this.how can i install other way? | 18:47 |

| fn0rd | On my multi-monitor setup, I disabled the toolbar that pops up on the left side of the screen, on all screens but the main screen. I have also tweaked the values in ccsm. However, there is still resistance applied to the mouse pointer when I attempt to drag it across my monitors. Any tips on how to resolve this? Perhaps it is a ccsm setting that I missed?

| jrib | zgr: well, you could intall some other sort of server on it... like vnc or something | 18:55 |
| fn0rd | trism: I see now: when I check this option you told me about, there is resistance going left to right, and right to left, where the left is my main monitor. | 18:55 |

| fn0rd | trism: i also set "Edge Stop Velocity" to 1 | 18:56 |
| fn0rd | and now things are perfect. | 18:56 |

| trism | theseb: you can change the number of desktops there too, but I don't recall the option off the top of my head (something in gconf-editor for metacity I would guess) | 19:33 |

| darkham | ActionParsnip, both, or they are similar for the same ? | 19:33 |
| crazydip | theseb: install myunity it's easier for new users then goto desktop option and change "h desktop" and "v desktop" to 1 | 19:33 |

| crazydip | darkham: if autoremove does not work it's probably some insane metapackage like gnome, lxde, etc. you'll have to get a good list of packages and remove them by hand - if you lxde is the last thing you installed and you installed it from software center, go to your history and it will tell you every package that was installed | 19:36 |

| xVey | you need to get use to it first | 19:43 |
| theseb | How "turn on unity 3d"? | 19:43 |
| xVey | Anyway | 19:43 |
| gordonjcp | codephobic: yes, it can be done | 19:43 |
| codephobic | It's annoying 'cos I managed to set it up without that much trouble in Debian (Squeeze), but I actually prefer working in Ubuntu so ... I really don't want to run both systems. | 19:43 |
| theseb | i guess i need to install "cube"? | 19:43 |
| crazydip | codemaniac: maybe because you are using 64bit while android sdk is compiled for 32-bit? just an idea i don't know | 19:44 |
| xVey | did you look for a tutorial step by step | 19:44 |
| xVey | ? | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | if you can get it working in Squeeze you can get it working in Precise | 19:44 |
| theseb | I can't find tutorial on it | 19:44 |
| theseb | i'm on 12.04 | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | theseb: i'd ask in #compiz it's just a plugin | 19:44 |
| codephobic | xVey, yup, I followed the google guidelines and then tried "thirdparty" ones too | 19:44 |
| theseb | ActionParsnip: ah.ok...compiz is the name i presume.. | 19:44 |
| xVey | Well than it's realy odd | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: if your card does 3D acceleration then you're most likely using Unity 3D | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | theseb: same as what? | 19:44 |
| xVey | Is it really so different from debian? | 19:44 |
| codephobic | gordonjcp, well, I guess I'm going to try it out again tonight... I really want to get started on learning the sdk | 19:45 |
| theseb | ActionParsnip: *name* | 19:45 |
| crazydip | codephobic: : maybe because you are using 64bit while android sdk is compiled for 32-bit? just an idea i don't know | 19:45 |
| crazydip | codephobic: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147400/problems-with-eclipse-and-android-sdk | 19:45 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: i am using unity3d..i just don't know how to use it | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | codephobic: they're not *that* different | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: click on stuff | 19:45 |
| codephobic | crazydip, yep 64/32 is one of the complications, but then Deb is also 64bit. | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | theseb: type things in, where it seems appropriate | 19:45 |
| theseb | gordonjcp: i never see a rotating cube if that is what i should see | 19:45 |
| theseb | i read that echo $DESKTOP_SESSION will tell you if you got 3d | 19:46 |
| theseb | and i do | 19:46 |
| xVey | Can someone recomend me about a good book about ubuntu? | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !manual | xVey | 19:46 |
| ubottu | xVey: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 19:46 |
| xVey | i mean something like a toturial for beginners | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | xVey: what do you want to learn how to do? | 19:47 |
| xVey | I know the basics | 19:47 |
| MonkeyDust | xVey the best way to learn, is by using it | 19:47 |
| xVey | but i want to learn more abput linux and stuff | 19:47 |
| xVey | Yeah :D | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | xVey: well, don't look for Ubuntu specifically then | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | xVey: Linux is pretty much all the same | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | it's changed a bit over time | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xVey: then use it, have you used Windows a long time? | 19:48 |
| xVey | that what i was doing for the last couple of weeks | 19:48 |
| xVey | yeah i worked many years with Windows | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xVey: and did you ever use a book to learn what you know? | 19:48 |
| codephobic | gordonjcp, I don't suppose that they are but, in this instance I'm not having much luck. I'm going to try and install the SDK in a VM first. if I mess up, nothing lost. | 19:48 |
| xVey | Lol | 19:49 |
| xVey | i didn't | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | xVey: why not use the same process with Ubuntu then? | 19:49 |
| ezio | how can i set the ssh backspace key to connect to a unix system? | 19:49 |
| xVey | i guess you right | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | codephobic: that's not a bad idea | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | People get so hung up on wanting books on Ubuntu and junk when they never read a windows book in their lives | 19:49 |
| xVey | but i wasn't realy interested to know a lot about Windows | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | makes no sense to me at all | 19:49 |
| xVey | But i do want to become an expert in linux | 19:50 |
| Bjo_et_Cie | hello | 19:50 |
| MonkeyDust | ActionParsnip or a book at all ;) | 19:50 |
| hwilde | help why are my packets being marked as UFW AUDIT INVALID and then UFW BLOCK | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xVey: just use the OS, try and setup various things rather than just checking facebook etc, try different things, explore the OS | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: ha, books are good :) | 19:50 |
| xVey | Yeah that what i want to do | 19:50 |
| darkham | why apt-get can't uninstall all the packages of a metapackage installation... | 19:50 |
| xVey | but i don't realy know how | 19:50 |
| Bjo_et_Cie | anyone knows why the scrollbar in Xchat doesn't appear ? | 19:50 |

| xVey | I'm thrilled to know how to do cool thing with it | 19:51 |
| * MonkeyDust has the book 'ubuntu linux toolbox' | 19:51 | |
| crazydip | xVey: there's "Sams Ubuntu Unleashed 2012" but I don't know if it's good | 19:51 |
| crazydip | xVey: check amazon ratings | 19:52 |
| xVey | i did | 19:52 |
| xVey | couldn't find a real up to date book | 19:52 |
| MonkeyDust | xVey http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Precise | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | xVey: just use the OS, there ae tonnes of guides online | 19:52 |
| crazydip | xVey: sams 2012 is based on 11.10 and 12.04 (current until 12.10 comes out in a few weeks) | 19:52 |
| codephobic | xVey, just think, next release of Windows - everybody will require a manual! | 19:53 |
| OerHeks | xVey, read the questions that come by here in #ubuntu, highly recommended to learn all new stuff ( and bugs) | 19:53 |
| hwilde | help why are my packets being marked as UFW AUDIT INVALID and then UFW BLOCK | 19:53 |
| xVey | Ok | 19:53 |
| xVey | I'll try that | 19:53 |
| crazydip | xVey: but yeah, online info is amazing... | 19:53 |
| xVey | <MonkeyDust> Thanks! | 19:54 |
| xVey | looks nice | 19:54 |
| xVey | i'll read it later | 19:54 |
| Bjo_et_Cie | is any fix for scrollbar disapearing ? | 19:55 |
| codephobic | oh, btw what's a good terminal command for getting an accurate reading of memory usage? I use free -m but I remember seeing something along the lines of free -m | sed -n -e '3ps | grep ... something something :( I forgot the command, it felt reassuringly complicated :D | 19:55 |
| xVey | I've been told that ubuntu can be costumize quite easly | 19:56 |
| xVey | is that true? | 19:56 |
| OerHeks | any linux version is. | 19:56 |
| crazydip | codephobic: sed and grep just format (cut out) the output of free -m in your example | 19:56 |
| canadacow | exit | 19:57 |
| codephobic | crazydip, I thought that's what grep did. | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !atemyram | codephobic | 19:57 |
| ubottu | codephobic: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 19:57 |
| crazydip | xVey: if you know how to program (as in programming) not only can you do whatever you want on a program level such as install/remove/exchange whatever you want you can also modify the existing programs and write your own | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | codephobic: explains the free -m output well | 19:57 |
| guntbert | !repeat | hwilde | 19:58 |
| ubottu | hwilde: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:58 |
| crazydip | !sed | codephobic | 19:58 |
| ubottu | codephobic: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:58 |
| crazydip | errr | 19:58 |
| crazydip | thats not about sed | 19:58 |
| codephobic | hehe | 19:58 |
| xVey | crazydip yeah i know that | 19:58 |
| xVey | I know to program in java pretty well | 19:58 |

| sporkf | If I wanted to read the source code to a program. Does ubuntu keep those after apt-geting them? | 20:01 |
| ezio | guntbert, that was well relevant | 20:02 |
| darkham | ActionParsnip, i tried --purge remove && --purge autoremove, but they don't unistalled all. i only uninstalled all with the paste of the package list on the apt-get install command. No proper option for uninstall all the dipendencies of a tried and unliked software? | 20:02 |

| ActionParsnip | darkham: does deborphan list the unneeded packages? | 20:05 |
| MonkeyDust | sporkf if you change program sources in a production environment, you may get problems | 20:05 |
| darkham | ActionParsnip, yes | 20:05 |
| hwilde | MonkeyDust, yes it stands for uncomplicated firewall thanks. why is it auditing and blocking valid packets ? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | darkham: then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove `deborphan` | 20:06 |
| darkham | ActionParsnip, no problem, i ask only to know, if "apt-get install metapackages" have a perfect rehersal | 20:07 |
| darkham | ActionParsnip, *reverse | 20:08 |
| crazydip | ActionParsnip: unless it has changed since a few years ago, using deborphan is a bad idea - it does not always work and when it does not you can be in trouble | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | darkham: not that I know of, I personally thing the postrm script in metapackages should remove the packages it installs | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | crazydip: not had an issue but its a !wfm thing. darkham said the packages were listed | 20:08 |

| crazydip | why does bzr branch ubuntu:<package> download quantal and not precise? | 20:13 |
| darkham | ActionParsnip, crazydip, thanx for your time :) | 20:14 |
| trism | crazydip: because it is the current dev version, if you want precise, bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/package | 20:14 |
| trism | crazydip: though the branches are kind of all over the place so you may not necessarily get what you want there | 20:15 |
| crazydip | trism: aye, makes sense though dev version is what's usually needed when fetching source not current stable | 20:15 |

| sandb____ | TJ-: but it's late and my brain may be too dulled by a day battling the forces of badly written code to appreicate what you've written | 21:18 |
| EweR_ | I did "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/mysite.com" - I thought that ment, that if any user is in a group www-data, then they could have permission to change things in ftp, but with this i still get premission denied.. how come?? | 21:18 |
| sandb____ | TJ-: if you don't mind i might try and fix it another time and ask you again :) | 21:18 |
| TJ- | sandb____: Doesn't matter what too you use - the key thing is, there may be multiple copies of your public key in the far-end ssh key store | 21:19 |
| TJ- | sandb____: Sure thing. I know sleep always helps, plus time to consider! | 21:19 |
| norkakn | eny | 21:19 |

| CRealKiller175 | ahh | 21:23 |
| EweR_ | TJ-, chown -R user:group /var/www/ should do the trick shouldnt it? | 21:23 |
| szal | yekoms: dd doesn't format drives | 21:23 |
| yekoms | why dont it? | 21:23 |
| zykotick9 | CRealKiller175: from terminal you can try "sudo mkfs<TAB><TAB>" to see the various format options | 21:23 |

| EweR_ | TJ-, Thank you | 21:26 |
| TJ- | EweR_: However... if you're allowing FTP access like that, make sure you don't mind all those FTP users in "www-data" to have potentially destructive write access to that directory. | 21:28 |
| EweR_ | TJ-, ok ;) | 21:28 |

| asinello | hi | 21:29 |
| nvictor | hey guys | 21:32 |
| iceroot | tryy3|Coding: why you want to kill that process? | 21:32 |
| nvictor | do i need a system reboot after installing auditd ? | 21:32 |
| nvictor | (which i am trying to avoid...) | 21:33 |
| tryy3|Coding | iceroot i dont know they are many so just asked what happens if i would do it | 21:33 |
| iceroot | tryy3|Coding: its better to ask "what are these processes" instead of "can i kill them" :) | 21:33 |
| EweR_ | TJ-, how should i do, so that I have rw access for a specific user, and that scripts can do rw too without having 777 perms on directories? cause before what I did is chown directory to a specific user, then everything was fine until i tried to run a script and got error for not having permissiosn to write, so I thought I should just add group www-data and put the user in the group(i know thats not right way) but which is then? | 21:34 |
| tryy3|Coding | iceroot true, mind telling me what those processes do then? :D | 21:34 |
| TJ- | nvictor: You'll need a kernel boot parameter "audit=1" to ensure processes starteed before auditd are auditable | 21:34 |
| iceroot | tryy3|Coding: Consolekit is "is a framework for defining and tracking users, login sessions, and seats. " | 21:34 |
| tryy3|Coding | iceroot oh sounds dangerous to kill that... | 21:35 |
| TJ- | EweR_: I've avoided FTP for the last 10 years+. I prefer to use ssh/sftp and limited login | 21:35 |
| iceroot | tryy3|Coding: not dangerous but its not a good idea | 21:35 |
| tryy3|Coding | iceroot ah ok then i leave it there :D | 21:36 |
| EweR_ | TJ-, oh, sftp would be good idea then | 21:36 |

| === g_byers is now known as g_byers[Away] | ||
| TJ- | EweR_: When you use regular FTP that isn't encrypted or tunnelled, the user password goes over the wire in plain text. It is very susceptible to a M-i-t-M or eavesdropping attack | 21:39 |
| EweR_ | EweR_, yeah. ive heard about it.. so basically if u have ssh server set-up you don't need to have anything else and u can use sftp right away? | 21:40 |
| EweR_ | TJ-,* | 21:40 |
| TJ- | EweR_: That's correct | 21:41 |

| blz | How can I enable USB speakers on ubuntu-server? | 21:51 |
| blz | or, more exactly, on an ubuntu installation without gnome (and hence the sound settings menu). It's not *really* ubuntu-server | 21:52 |
| j0hnsm1th | does anyone know of any software that will read out loud pdf documents? | 21:54 |
| j0hnsm1th | i tried orca but i couldnt get it to read anything out of evince | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | blz: does the usb speakers show up in alsamixer? use F6 to select sound cards. best of luck - i have zero other suggestion (speakers on server doesn't make a lot of sense to me, i'm still assuming you don't have a gui) | 21:55 |
| blz | zykotick9, yes it does! | 21:55 |
| blz | And I *do* have a GUI, but it's XBMC... so no WM | 21:55 |
| blz | zykotick9, it shows up as "USB AUDIO" which I assume is what I want =) | 21:56 |
| zoktar | is there a way of installing wine without also installing a ton of :i386 packages?. | 21:57 |
| blz | zykotick9, in fact, I tried setting it from there, but I wasn't too sure how to proceed. When I hilight the entry, I get a mixer bar called PCM whose volume I can set. So I set it to 100... but now what? | 21:57 |
| zykotick9 | zoktar: the :i386 stuff is due to multiarch, i'd just roll with it if i where you. | 21:57 |
| zoktar | 140 packages seems a bit extreme | 21:58 |
| vivid | zoktar, if you dont want 32bit wine, you can install wine1.5-amd64 and it wont pull in all the 32bit packages | 22:01 |
| crazydip | zoktar: for me it only wants 3 i386 packages | 22:02 |
| vivid | thats because you must already have them installed | 22:02 |
| crazydip | vivid: maybe | 22:02 |
| zykotick9 | zoktar: i'm just curious, did you install from mini? | 22:03 |
| zoktar | zykotick9, its 12.10 beta2 dvd iso. i get the same packages +1 if i try wine-amd64 | 22:04 |
| vivid | that probably means you need them. most windows software is 32bit | 22:04 |
| zykotick9 | zoktar: cool. good luck. 12.10 is OT in this channel, use #ubuntu+1 for support. don't reply to me further, i won't see it. | 22:05 |

| gordonjcp | rustler770: ftp is fundamentally broken | 22:41 |

| zoktar | trism, software center does not appear to read all of dpkg.log, looks to me that its history is based opon software and related packages installed from the center alone. | 22:55 |

| zykotick9 | trism: PAM ;) i guess i wasn't far off | 22:55 |

| aristidesfl | blackshirt but there is no mention of that in the manual | 22:57 |
| aristidesfl | anyway | 22:57 |
| aristidesfl | thanks | 22:57 |
| aristidesfl | :) | 22:57 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: upgrade was "deprecated" under aptitude | 22:57 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: if you familiar with apt-get, apt-get upgrade is comparable to aptitude --no-new-installs safe-upgrade. | 22:58 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: on their default behaviour | 22:58 |
| darkenvy | hey guys I really need help | 22:58 |
| zoktar | trism, i think i might have been wrong, looks like does in fact read it all!. | 22:58 |
| darkenvy | I have been in here several times but have not recieved help | 22:59 |
| aristidesfl | blackshirt I do have a server where the grub menu pops up once in a while, how can I deal with that without having to manually press return? | 22:59 |
| zoktar | ActionParsnip, Yeah a decent option. thanks | 22:59 |
| dr_willis | darkenvy: state the issue and see who can help. | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | zoktar: today=`date +%Y-%m`; grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log | grep $today | awk {'print $5'} shows all packages install this month | 23:00 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: you can change GRUB_TIMEOUT on /etc/default/grub to more little values (on seconds) | 23:00 |
| darkenvy | Well I have this stuttering problem on my ubuntu12.04 . Back when I was on 10.10 I didnt have it | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: what is stuttering? | 23:01 |
| darkenvy | video and audio will stutter for a few seconds. It seems the entire computer stutters. idk. | 23:01 |
| darkenvy | it takes the last 1/4 of a second and loops it 5-6 times | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: tried unity2D session? | 23:01 |
| darkenvy | so watching video is aggrovating! All I can do it listen to dubstep because I dont notice it then | 23:01 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: and then rerun update-grub2 | 23:01 |
| darkenvy | unity? gross! | 23:01 |
| darkenvy | oh sorry I'm a gnome fan | 23:02 |
| darkenvy | :P | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: ok what session are you using? | 23:02 |
| darkenvy | gnome3 | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: Unity is a shell for gnome | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: Unity doesn't replace gnome | 23:02 |
| darkenvy | I thought unity was its own new thing | 23:02 |
| dr_willis | try a very light window manager/desktop as a test darkenvy see if its somthing related to system load. | 23:02 |
| darkenvy | Hey you and I have spoke before Actionparsnip :) | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: yes, ubuntu 12.04 uses Gnome 3.4 with unity as the default shell | 23:02 |
| dr_willis | darkenvy: what is your video card? and sound card and system specs? | 23:02 |
| darkenvy | well its odd because before I had no issues on 10.10 | 23:03 |
| darkenvy | well ACTUALLY | 23:03 |
| delinquentme | whats the meaning of the acronym du?? | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: disk ussage. | 23:03 |
| darkenvy | I upgraded from 10.10 to 12.04 but had OTHER issues so I did a clean re-install. I DID NOT have this issue before on this same hardware | 23:03 |
| delinquentme | dr_willis, <3 | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: what CPU, video card and RAM amount are you using? | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: re: install logs. not sure what the status of your /var/log/dpkg.log.FOO is, but mine has some .gz files, which prevents catting wildcards from working (due to the binary file output to terminal). so the best i could come up with was "zcat /var/log/dpkg.log.*" which give a nice chronological output of package installations. suitable for greping as well ;) | 23:03 |
| aristidesfl | blackshirt the timeout was set to 10, but it was wanting indefinitely | 23:04 |

| AgentHex | Hi, guys. How do I blacklist vesafb? | 23:04 |
| darkenvy | nvidia chipset | 23:04 |
| dr_willis | !blacklist > AgentHex | 23:04 |
| ubottu | AgentHex, please see my private message | 23:04 |
| dr_willis | darkenvy: you did install the nvidia drivers? | 23:04 |
| darkenvy | yes | 23:04 |
| darkenvy | I have full 3D acceleration | 23:05 |
| darkenvy | its happened since day 1 but I needed to keep working | 23:05 |
| darkenvy | but as I have said, ive been on 12.04 before from when I upgraded from 10.10 however I didnt have this issue | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: there are some older ones I guess but the newer stuff is in /var/log/dpkg.log | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: for me, that was all REALLY new ;) | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: what version of the nvidia driver do you use? | 23:06 |
| * morbid is still having issues with my wireless connection. Blue light is now on....but still the option for viewing the connections is grayed out. | 23:06 | |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: doh, perhaps zcat is failing on the non-gz file :( forget my previous idea! | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | darkenvy: does the system use hybrid video chips? | 23:07 |
| johnzilla | hello! | 23:07 |
| darkenvy | hybrid video chips? | 23:08 |
| johnzilla | i been stuck 3days now.. im trying to install oracle java 6.35? any help plz | 23:08 |
| morbid | Wireless issue...need help. | 23:08 |
| darkenvy | Actionparsnip, you think its video driver related? What is the command to open the "additional drivers" window? I always forget what that is | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: in my case, the logs had just divided, so the current /var/log/dpkg.log was VERY short, and the /var/log/dpkg.log.1 had interesting information. cut catting only the non-gz files is a drag, i might figure it out someday ;) | 23:10 |

| darkenvy | okay guys, if I leave and try these things (it will take time to test) will you remember me? :) | 23:12 |
| morbid | Zykotic9 any new suggestions for the wireless issue? | 23:12 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: see "/msg ubottu tab", typing z - y - k - o - t - i - c - k - 9 is a MAJOR pain, you don't have to. FYI you didn't even highlight me ;) | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: but no suggestions or wireless no. | 23:14 |
| blackshirt | aristidesfl: you can change it to 0 if you want | 23:14 |
| Krasus | hey, anyone got a image that shows most of useful linux termina cmd? I would like to make it a poster at my desk :) | 23:15 |
| crazydip | i uploaded a <source.changes> via dput to launchpad PPA with "success" but I see no mention of it on the page. How can I check the status of the PPA builds? | 23:15 |
| morbid | Ah...is this what you mean by highlighting you? | 23:15 |
| morbid | Nope | 23:16 |
| morbid | I don't get it. | 23:16 |
| jrib | morbid: type 'z' then press tab | 23:16 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: actually use "tab" "tab" until you get the nick you want. or "zyk<tab>" type thing. | 23:16 |
| morbid | oh | 23:17 |
| morbid | hmm | 23:17 |
| morbid | zykotick9, better? | 23:18 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: ;) nice! | 23:18 |
| morbid | zykotick9, So, no more information on wireless? | 23:18 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: what card, was issue. | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: sorry. i scrolled back. | 23:20 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: so does N-M see network now? | 23:20 |
| morbid | zykotick9, It just will not allow me to see the wireless connections. I tried rebooting back into windows and enabling it...which got the blue light going when i came back...but still no wireless. | 23:20 |
| morbid | Years back I had ubuntu on here and id not have the issue ....I think. | 23:21 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: means nothing. | 23:21 |
| morbid | zykotick9, What does? | 23:22 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: what card is it try "lspci | grep -i wireless" and/or "lspci | grep -i network" and paste ONLY your wireless hardware, should be 1 line. | 23:22 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: using an earlier version of ubuntu and hardware working, now it doesn't. | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | morbid: what wifi chip? | 23:23 |
| zykotick9 | morbid: use lsusb if above doesn't work. | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | morbid: also try: sudo lshw -C network | 23:24 |
| aristidesfl | blackshirt I don't want 0, 10 would be fine, but it is infinte | 23:24 |

| morbid | Thanks. gone | 23:35 |
| ghost88 | ActionParsnip: all the PPAs with ghc have an even *older* version than 7.4.1, which is the version my ubuntu (12.04) comes with :S | 23:37 |
| ghost88 | I expected, since ubuntu is the most popular distro, someone would be using the new ghc which was released last month! ppa's seem unreliable. many are years old | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ghost88: those are the launchpad PPAs, you could contact a ppa maintainer or 2 to see if they are interested in packaging the newer version | 23:38 |
| ghost88 | in that case i will compile it myself, and maybe even make my own ppa, which will probably never be updated again, lol. | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | ghost88: you should examing HOW ubuntu releases work. after a release, package don't ususally get upgraded. | 23:39 |
| ghost88 | zykotick9: hmm i see. i shouldn't think of it like gentoo. I was thinking of PPA's as the same thing as Gentoo overlays. But that's obviously not the case! | 23:40 |
| ghost88 | i'm content with ghc 7.4.1, then :^) | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | ghost88: gentoo is rolling, ubuntu is NOT | 23:40 |
| ghost88 | I see | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | ghost88: you do understand that PPA software/issues aren't supported here either right? see "/msg ubottu ppa" for details | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: sure they get updated, I get new packages daily | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: security updates yes, version updates no. | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: same version, MOSTLY. there are some exceptions. | 23:42 |
| bluecrow | im using a usb modem for th einternet, and wondering could the outside world access my web server at localhost? | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: via-localhost impossible | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: via-localhost s/impossible/very improbably/ (not directly! is the re-statement) | 23:43 |
| bluecrow | well, if I install the webserver, is there anyway it can be accessed? | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: don't open/forward port 80 from your firewall. | 23:44 |
| ghost88 | I guess I expected there would be just one "Ubuntu Haskell" PPA, maintained by a handful of haskell programmers who use GHC on Ubuntu. | 23:44 |
| bluecrow | then what should I do? | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | bluecrow: yes, all they need is your WAN IP | 23:45 |
| silverarrow | hi, does anyone have RLT8187 or realtek 3070 chipset for wireless? | 23:45 |
| brightsparks | I'm trying out xfburn but it doesn't seem to offer the option of later adding files to a previously created list on a cd-rw disc. Bit disappointing. Or does it? Anyone know failing that is there a disc burning program that will allow me to do this? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bluecrow: go to www.ipchicken.com and it will give you your WAN IP. Get them to connect to that via HTTP and they will see the web page | 23:45 |
| bluecrow | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 23:46 |
| bluecrow | so my public IP is really called a WAN ip. | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: did you leave the session open? you need too, inorder to add "more" to a cd. | 23:47 |
| ledah | does kubuntu has a bug with the .fonts folder? | 23:47 |
| bluecrow | its ppp0 | 23:47 |
| silverarrow | brightsparks: I had trouble with burning bootable iso, but when I figured out I had to choose sao/dao manually, then it was all right | 23:47 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: there is another option, making a cdrw more like a floppy disk, but i don't know ANYTHING about that! i know it involves "formatting" the cdrw... | 23:48 |
| silverarrow | brightsparks: yeah, brasero does, I am almost sure | 23:49 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: I didn't see any option to leave the session open. | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: it's no a typical option! it mean most players can't use the cd until it's closed. | 23:49 |
| foobArrr | can I somehow map gnome3's activities overview to a mouse button? | 23:49 |
| brightsparks | silverarrow: that sao/dao option seems interesting-I think it gives that choice... | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bluecrow: you just need the IP, the interface isnt important when accessed from outside | 23:50 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: er what? | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: if you closed the session the sao/dap isn't gonna help... just sayin' | 23:51 |
| silverarrow | brightsparks: I`m not that into it, but it has to be session in one, or track in one or something to have the rw funtion | 23:51 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: ok | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: sessionatonce/diskatonce - i'm familiar with tac (trackatonce) and dao (diskatonce). | 23:52 |
| silverarrow | xfburn doesn`t give the option of closed session like other burners do I think | 23:52 |
| brightsparks | silverarrow: you mean an open session? | 23:52 |
| silverarrow | brightsparks: I could test it | 23:53 |
| brightsparks | silverarrow: but will you? ha ha ha | 23:53 |
| brightsparks | silverarrow: lol seriously no please do | 23:53 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: you could copy the cdrw contents to your HD, add the files you want. clear the cdrw and copy it back, with an open session, if you want to add more files. | 23:54 |
| silverarrow | yeah, I could | 23:54 |
| Vlakoff | hi | 23:54 |
| silverarrow | brightsparks: I am promising to much, I am out of cd-rw, only cd-r | 23:55 |
| bluecrow | after I install LAMP, will I have to make any changes so people can connect from outisde? | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: fyi, you still can't update files, only add new. | 23:55 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: er copy the files from the disc to the hard drive add the additional files and then blank and burn them all on to the disc again-is that what you said? | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: forward ports / open firewall type stuff. usually done in a router. | 23:55 |
| Vlakoff | anyone here knows blogmarks? | 23:55 |
| bluecrow | zykotick9: I don't use a router though. | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: yup, that sounds like my suggestion. | 23:56 |
| bluecrow | i use a usb modem ppp0 | 23:56 |
| bluecrow | its installing lamp now. | 23:56 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: ha ha ha I wouldn't sell many cd burning programs if that's all they could do! ha ha ha | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: if you're directly connected i don't want to suggest anything. do you run a firewall on your box? if not, i'd guess it would be open with you external IP. | 23:56 |
| bluecrow | i dont use a firewall, no. i use a usb modem. | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: sell free software or propritary software? | 23:57 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: I want to be able to add and remove files from my burned cd or dvd as is possible with say Nero. | 23:57 |
| brightsparks | silverarrow: thanks anyway | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | brightsparks: best of luck. i won't see your posts further. enjoy ubuntu. | 23:58 |
| bluecrow | zykotick9: can you test ir for me? I xan connect to it. | 23:58 |
| brightsparks | zykotick9: thank you | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | bluecrow: no sorry. don't ask the channel to "test" for you probably NOT a good idea. | 23:59 |
| bluecrow | zykotick9: I dialled you. | 23:59 |
