[00:05] jrib no [00:05] hi, i want to install AWIT DBackup into a lucid 10.04 machine. is there a recommended ppa? [00:05] bennypr0fane: right. It only works that way if you enter it at the login screen :) [00:06] my motherboard does not recognize pci to sata card. does that mean i will not be able to use my sata hard drive to boot? [00:06] so i press upgrade from the update manager, i get the release notes for Precise Pangolin and press upgrade again, then it downloads something the screen goes black and a prompt for the administrative password pops up where it wont accept my password, saying that it is incorrect, so i have to cancel. [00:06] ok, got it. I don't want to be asked for any pwd at all at startup though [00:06] bennypr0fane: then make the keyring password blank [00:07] Yeeehaw! done!

[00:14] drive* [00:15] Using a VM, btw. [00:15] CrusaderAD: Open the dash, type "mouse" and open "mouse and touchpad". From there, click the touchpad tab, and you will see an option for either edge scrolling or two finger scrolling. [00:15] Perfect it started! thanks! [00:16] I couldn't figure out why it wouldnt accept my password. [00:16] Hello everyone, sorry to repeat.

[00:24] yea [00:25] I choose embedded speakers, no sout output [00:25] CerebralVortex, the first time i run the kernel it worked. [00:26] but from the second on it have no sound [00:26] Ok, what laptop model? [00:26] Dell 502-x [00:26] XPS [00:27] Microfone works (sound sensor changes when i talk) [00:28] Hrm [00:28] Is there anyway to use a vnc like program to make my output show up on the monitor connected to the machine? [00:29] buu, you'll need a server/client setup for that to work [00:29] Ok, elaborate please? [00:29] How do I speed up the mouse control when using mouse keys in universal access? [00:30] you want the output of 'command' to goto machine2, when its issued on machine1 right? [00:30] yekoms: Not exactly, I have two machines. One is connected to a monitor/tv, the other is remote. I want the remote machine to be able to launch gui programs and interact with them via mouse and keyboard while at the same time having the guis show up on machine 1's monitor [00:31] never tried a setup like that [00:31] #User_007 :1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) [00:32] @User_007 Thats what I'm running on 3.6 kernel [00:32] @user_007 I'm on 12.10 64bit === AnonCaliber is now known as Calb [00:32] Hey [00:33] is there a reason why /home/ resides on a different partition by default? [00:33] instead of giving / full reign to the full disk [00:33] TimothyA, in case you have to reinstall Ubuntu [00:33] TimothyA, so it is easy to backup [00:33] Your /home won't be overwritten [00:33] @TimothyA what makes it default to a different partition? Otherwise it does it for easy backup [00:33] CerebralVortex, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) [00:34] here too [00:34] OerHeks: last time I checked, mysql and all important services are in /var/lib ... [00:34] But i am on 12.04 64bits [00:34] Alright Magi. should i just delete each partition? [00:34] and then there are the logs which will make services stop running when / becomes full [00:34] Calb, yeah [00:34] To fill in more on Calb's issue [00:34] I don't see how it would make it easier to back up.. [00:34] User_007 I had 12.04 on 3.6 kernel, but can't really i my sound card worked. [00:34] He is trying to install Ubuntu from a bootable flash drive [00:35] TimothyA, because you dont have to back it up, you just install a new version and dont format /home [00:35] vivid: ... [00:35] The automatic partitioner didn't work [00:35] CerebralVortex, mine worked the first boot [00:35] vivid: apparently you never had to back up a database [00:35] Alright, I have ~320GB of free space (the whole disk). Select and Install on that i assume? [00:36] Or do I need to partition more on that? [00:36] TimothyA, no, but i dont see how it is more difficult to back up... [00:36] so what's the point of having /home on a different partition than / :| [00:36] User_007 not sure what to tell you, have you posted on forums? [00:36] User_007 someone else with that hardware may have the same experience [00:36] i split my / and /home for fsck... [00:37] not yet... o use to ask on irc first [00:37] smaller slices = faster fsck [00:37] TimothyA, it allows you to preserve your data when reinstalling or updating with a fresh installation [00:37] grrrr, why isn't the owner of the server responding [00:37] I HATE THIS' [00:38] TimothyA, maybe they have a life? [00:38] MagiR2D2: he's supposed to be available 24/7 [00:38] mostly because he has some things so I can actually fix the server [00:38] Nobody is available 24/7 [00:38] MagiR2D2: I only have a 2 hour downtime a day [00:38] ^ everyone has to sleep [00:38] but he's making my life friggin miserable like this [00:38] I have to wait through the entire night now [00:39] Well [00:39] get a new provider then, complaining on irc wont solve the issue ;p [00:39] Find a different place? [00:39] MY JOB IS ON THE LINE [00:40] I have to be 24/7, why the hell can't he be [00:40] Magi, how big should the / partition be? What will it be used for? [00:40] wow [00:40] have ya tried google friend? [00:42] CerebralVortex, by the way, i can hear the boot sound... is the only thing i can hear after boot [00:42] CerebralVortex, but after that i don't get any sound output [00:43] sometimes boot beeps are from a onboard speaker. === _dd is now known as Guest35709 [00:45] yekoms, no.. i am sure, it was from my normal speakers...

[02:08] !gksu | silverarrow [02:08] silverarrow: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:08] I'm trying to install tilemill -- I ran their install script, which just does an apt-add-repository and then an apt-get-install then I did them both on my own terminal -- both times apt says it doesn't know about the pkg [02:09] it seems all the traffic is getting punted out the interface with the active internet connection [02:09] xangua: horror [02:09] I'm wondering if the pkgs just dont exist for my hdwr (I'm on a powerpc) how could I know?

[03:38] and then list them again ? [03:38] mastersh2ke: oh, because you said above that the nano command gave you problems, I'm not really familiar with the service you're trying to run, but my guess would be that some config option isn't right [03:38] i was psyched when i learned to do /bin/bash thing... now i want to take it to the next step [03:38] durrut1, no, try reinstalling the driver for the one that's not working [03:38] next step in what? [03:38] durrut1, remember to reboot after that, and before loading the driver [03:39] thomedy, I'm not understanding too, buttons for what? a message box or somthing? [03:39] *something [03:39] pepee, tried to install this one but it says it's already installed -> bcmwl-kernel-source is already the newest version. [03:40] thomedy: when you say make buttons, do you mean like the regular clickable icons, or like the ones in the launcher?

[03:53] Having some trouble getting the nvidia drivers to work on my other laptop, a Dell Latitude D800 [03:53] But on my X300 it runs like a charm. [03:53] kunji:i recently joined mate can you re-ask? [03:53] kunji: what are you trying to do with dnsmasq ?? [03:53] hell I just ckick a deb-file and it wants to install 104 (ONE HUNDRED_AND_FOUR) packages! [03:53] lotuspsychje: There are no pictures in my music folder.

[03:53] gfdfgfr, calm down [03:53] ryan_moore:did you install nvidia-current? [03:54] lotuspsychje: Sure, I get this message in the syslog when trying to connect to a linux access point using hostadp and dnsmasq: "DHCP packet received on wlan1 which has no address" Where should I put this address for wlan1? In /etc/network/interfaces? But if I do that, then won't network manager not be able to manage that interface (that is, I'll need to switch the contents of /etc/network/interfaces quite often). [03:54] gfdfgfr, what package [03:54] an application [03:54] gfdfgfr, what is the packages name [03:54] bazhang:he asked why gdebi wasnt default [03:54] setkeh: trying to give out ip addresses over wlan1, which is a wireless access point, via hostapd [03:55] bazhang, it won't tell you anything if you're american [03:55] gfdfgfr, pardon? [03:55] kunji: so just set that as the dhcp interfacew [03:55] but it cannot have this much dependencies [03:55] setkeh: it is, I get this message in the syslog though: DHCP packet received on wlan1 which has no address [03:55] gfdfgfr, just the package name, no need for the editorializing [03:56] kunji: did you give the interface an ip adress ?? [03:56] kunji:what wifi security on what wifi card? [03:56] I don't know how I should set that address, in /etc/network/interfaces, or what? I'm not using any security for now [03:57] kunji: if thats where ubuntu looks for adresses then yes [03:57] and it has to be in the same subnet as the dhcp pool [03:57] kunji: isnt dhcp auto assign an adress? [03:57] what for? it won't tell you anything, it's not in repository, and it is not related to the matter. it's small qt4 utility of no use to english speaking world [03:57] * baotiao [03:57] lotuspsychje: this is on the dhcp interface though it needs a staic one [03:57] gfdfgfr, then why complain about it here. [03:58] Well, I don't actually know if that is where it looks for dnsmasq, but generally yes. umm, yeah dhcp auto assigns an address, but that's for the people connecting to wlan1 in this case, so I guess I need to set an address for wlan1 manually, as the gateway device I guess? [03:58] bazhang, I complain about idiotic dependency handling in ubuntu. It worked without 104 dependencies in fedora [03:58] * lotuspsychje hides [04:01] kunji:you could install etherape to see whats happening === jgraham909 is now known as zendulu [04:01] lotuspsychje: maybe, what is it?

For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [04:03] xenome: depends on what your trying to do ?? [04:04] I've got one guest bridged/tap and that works with DHCP...but now I'm trying to run to VMs with their own static IPs each on a different subnet [04:04] hello, i ve tried what i could but this bios dont seem to accept a pci to sata in order to be able to boot from it. can some one give me a tip? [04:04] hi, i'm trying to find the compile time options used to build the zabbix-server quantal package [04:04] pepee, which one of these 2 you think is the internat one ? -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1270488/ the one that it says Subsystems : Acer , right ? the other one is the usb ? [04:04] internal* [04:04] so my host can be whatever IP, but I need each VM to be 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2 [04:04] kunji: install ubuntu-tweak to shred out your system to a clean one [04:05] I think I need to do some ipchains/routing setup to make this all work, but I'm not exactly sure [04:05] xenome: you might look at postrouting and masquerade for iptables instead of bridging [04:05] xenome: so why cant you just subnet it ?? [04:05] nightcrab:can you give us more details, what are you trying to do? [04:05] i'm trying to emulate a particular network topography all within this one machine [04:05] durrut1, first one is ethernet, the other one (BCM4311) iw WIF [04:05] *is WIFI [04:06] and the VMs need to match as close to the real thing as possible [04:06] lotuspsychje: already have that, guess I should use the package cleaner? [04:06] xenome: pretty simple to setup your networks inside of vbox so I'm guessing you should be able to do it in qemu as well. [04:06] so do I forget the bridge/tap stuff and just add aliases for my eth0 for each of the subnets? [04:06] kunji:yes it removes old stuff nicely [04:06] lotuspsychje , i am trying to connect a ssd sata hard drive in to an old ide only motherboard [04:07] pepee, so those two can be the same fisical card ? [04:07] nightcrab:change bios to AHCI [04:07] so right now I have host=192.168.1.8, and VM1=192.168.2.2, VM2=192.168.3.2 - I need them all able to communicate [04:07] lotuspsychje , unfortunately this bios doesn t have that option [04:07] so does that just require iptable forwards between the interfaces? [04:08] durrut1, no, ethernet = cable [04:08] nightcrab:what error u get on trying to install ubuntu on the ssd? [04:08] xenome: and can you ping those interfaces from your host machine on .1.8? [04:08] xenome: pretty much, but I think you should look up masquerade and postrouting, as I feel those give you a cleaner configuration [04:09] pepee, ah ok ... then there is the controler of ethernet and wifi ... but i don't know which one , how can i see the internal pci card ? [04:09] nightcrab:you getting no system disk at boot or no drice show in ubuntu install? [04:09] optichip: no, but I wouldn't expect it to at the moment as they are all different subnets [04:09] lotuspsychje , when trying to install ubuntu it crashes at installing system [04:09] Hey everyone, question, why is it that every time I do apt-get upgrade I run into booting/logging on issues? Is it a common thing that everyone should avoid? [04:10] nightcrab:any errors on the crash? [04:10] durrut1, you said the broadcom is the pci one, the other is USB? [04:10] lotuspsychje , i can see the hard drive on ubuntu but not in bios. no erros it simply freeze [04:10] hex20dec:what kind og login issues? [04:11] nightcrab:if ubuntu sees the ssd, it might not be an ssd error..any other low hardware could cause trouble? [04:11] pepee, let me get this straigh because now i'm confused ... haha , i have one usb card inserted already that makes it possible to connect to the internet and then the laptop has its own but i don't really know if its the broadcom or if the usb is the broadcom [04:12] lotuspsychje: Well, as of now, after I enter my password it accepts it then I see the some commands on the screen and then it goes back to the login screen. [04:12] grrr [04:12] xenome: is the vms on the same subnet as the host network ?? [04:12] if the internal one is the broadcom or the usb one [04:12] lotuspsychje: But every time it's a different story and then I have to reinstall the OS [04:12] =[ [04:12] no, each is on a different subnet [04:12] hex20dec:can you access the /var/log/syslog to see whats happening? [04:12] durrut1, the USB won't show as PCI [04:13] lsusb shows USB cards [04:13] vm1=192.168.2.2 and vm2=192.168.3.2 [04:13] lotuspsychje , i tryed with cd and usb live so i think the problemcames from the ssd hard drive. and what about the bios? [04:13] host=192.168.1.8 [04:13] ah ... didn't knew that [04:13] durrut1, that, unless it's some strange setup [04:13] i don't really care about routing out of the host, I just need host,vm1,vm2 connectivity [04:13] lotuspsychje: Will try that now [04:13] nightcrab:it might be interesting tryin install xubuntu, to make sure its no other hardware fault [04:13] ok [04:13] xenome: what are you usint for emulating the network ?? [04:14] setkeh: not sure I understand the question [04:14] Bus 002 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter(rev.C1) [Ralink RT2571W] [04:14] this is the usb one [04:14] nightcrab:maybe precise to high for the old pc? [04:14] and the 4311 is the PCI [04:14] i tried creating an alias for eth0, eth0:1 and then adding it to the bridge...but I guess you can't really do that since eth0 is already part of the bridge [04:14] pepee, thanks ... off to install the broadcom driver and see if it works [04:14] hex20dec:did you try login to unity2d to test too? [04:15] xenome: are you using vde to configure the tapdevice as a switch ?? [04:15] no [04:15] lotuspsychje , let suppose i could install xubuntu. what about the bios if i cant set the ssd to boot? thats why i would like to rsolve the bios problem first [04:15] my initial setup was to create a bridge, add eth0 and tap0 to it, then tell qemu to use tap0 [04:15] Uhmm.. I don't think so, but as of now I do ctrl+alt+f1 to login to try to view the log, is it good? Also, I will try the 2d now. lotuspsychje [04:16] lotuspsychje: unity2d is the same. [04:16] nightcrab:if its a pci to sata convert, bios will think its pci..i dont think its trouble [04:16] with dhcp on vm1, that works fine...it gets all the way out of my host to the router and gets a dynamic IP...but once I change it to static, on a different subnet, it obviously stops working [04:17] hex20dec:you could also try adding 'nomodeset' to grub to see if its a compiz crash [04:17] !nomodeset | hex20dec [04:17] hex20dec: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:17] lotuspsychje , but what would i choose as boot priority? bios has a try other boot devices option [04:18] xenome: ok you cannot talk between subnets without a router or a switch with per interface vlans configured to route thoes subnets [04:18] nightcrab:if ubuntu see the ssd in install, bios is set correclty, i would focus on other hardware crashes [04:19] xenome: what i suggest is look into vde and install open wrt in one of your machines will make it much easyer === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [04:19] nightcrab:your bios recognize the drive? [04:19] i can't bring any new hardware into this unfortunately....why can't do I do all that routing on my host? [04:20] lotuspsychje , you may have lots of hard drives pens cd rom connected to a computer but you ll have to choose one to boot it [04:21] nightcrab:you dont make sense mate, you say ubuntu install see your ssd hd, but now you asking me wich hd to set as primary boot? [04:21] xenome: you can if you configure it correctly but you can get rid of the tap interface (loopback) and replace it with a VDE switch then you havent introduced any new hardware just used a switch instead of a loopback === WACOMalt is now known as WACOMalt|AFK [04:23] lotuspsychje , your first answer was to choose AHCI, remember? [04:23] lotuspsychje: mmk, I've got etherape, what do I do with it, I've opened it, I can see a number of devices both on my network, and a few that seem like they're outside of it... Though I need to disconnect the wireless interface to start the access point again. [04:23] nightcrab:is its pci to sata convert you should set primary IDE to boot [04:24] nightcrab:not achi cause it acting as an IDE [04:24] ok I'll check it out [04:24] lotuspsychje , nothing appear to choose from to boot [04:25] but I think I have a hack...I can ping the host if I add the gw address (192.168.2.1) to the bridge [04:25] xenome: and if you decide to use it what your looking for is per interface vlans :) [04:25] kunji:it just shows your network packets layout graphicly might help to see whats problem? [04:25] lotuspsychje , i have no boot options [04:25] but how do you tell qemu to use that [04:25] I thought you had to give it a tap essentially so it had "an interface" [04:26] nightcrab:why do you need boot options if ubuntu see your ssd? === eilyx is now known as \n [04:26] lotuspsychje: hmm, maybe, but I'm pretty sure the issue is internal to the access point laptop, just that it is not giving out dhcp, which I think it because of that error from dnsmasq === \n is now known as eilyx [04:27] kunji:router configged correclty for it? [04:27] lotuspsychje , dont i?

[04:52] and then the b43 will take effect [04:52] yes [04:52] hit remove [04:53] and the system will ask to reboot [04:53] i don't have that on the list [04:53] do as i tell you .. i did this 5 minutes ago [04:53] the only thing i see on the list is this: broadcom sTA wireless driver [04:53] it doesn't show because it's not yet effective [04:53] if ufw is disabled by default then it seems that it is not the issue [04:53] should i hit "remove" for the broadcom STA wireless driver?? [04:54] yes [04:54] ok ill try [04:54] you installed firmware-b43-installer , right ? [04:54] yes [04:55] ok i did the exact same thing [04:55] How come my FF is so slow and choppy? I can't seem to 'stream' youtube or anything without chats being all jumpy [04:55] and until i removed the broadcom STA wireless driver nothing happened [04:55] why do i need to remove it if i want it active? i will try and see what hapen [04:55] that is strang why it does that? [04:55] because that is the old one [04:55] and the new one cannot function until its disabled [04:55] ok, i remove it [04:56] this waht hapen [04:56] "SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [04:56] fuuuuck [04:56] what's that ? [04:56] hello [04:56] haha [04:56] how did you removed it ? from the control panel ? or from the console ? [04:57] from control panel , i just clicked the 'remove' button [04:57] uhm [04:57] dunno what's that ... mine just removed without giving a fight :) [04:57] listen [04:57] reboot [04:58] and do it again [04:58] really quick question for yall, if I want to copy files that may be corrupted, what's the easiest way to do it? [04:58] then ill be back to ask again [04:58] ok [04:58] i'll be here [05:04] Hi all. [05:05] I'm using thunderbird 14.0 on ubuntu 11.10, Is there a lightning package for these versions as I'm unable to find one. [05:06] subb1, you mean xul-ext-lightning doesn't work? [05:07] ok im back [05:08] now it says "driver is not activated" [05:08] should i click "activate" now? [05:09] kamas:yes you can try [05:10] command line for RAM info? [05:11] no [05:11] kamas, did the system asked you to reboot after you removed the old one ? [05:12] http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ reseracher123 [05:12] Daekdroom, your suggestion worked. Thanks [05:12] :) [05:13] no it did not ask to reboot [05:13] researacher123: yeah, go with dmidecode first, "sudo dmidecode --type 17" will give you your RAM [05:15] kamas : huh .. i installed first that package , reboot , removed the old one...and then the system asked for reboot . rebooted and it was working [05:15] Hi , How do I launch firefox in minimized window by default from command line. [05:21] this my first time with ubuntu [05:21] i just put it now [05:25] jivora: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4876/can-i-minimize-a-window-from-the-command-line [05:28] lotuspsychje : Thanks. I was looking for a option that I can launch firefox with. I am not using x server. I am using xvfb to simulate X server [05:29] jivora:i also use sux firefox launching from terminal, but thats not relevant for minimized windows [05:31] !security | gridwest_user [05:31] gridwest_user: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [05:31] kamas: You will enjoy it. [05:48] Hey guys, I just installed apache2 and I was trying to setup public_html dir to serve the html pages i am working on but i keep getting The requested URL /~instant/public_html was not found on this server. [05:48] can someone point me in the right direction [05:51] rollitup, you need to install 'userdir' module for apache2 [05:51] rollitup, or, rather just enable it, sudo a2enmod userdir (i'm not sure if it was exactly userdir, just do sudo a2enmod to see all available extensions) [05:51] yes i did do the sudo a2enmod userdir [05:52] also [05:52] the url for /home/instant/public_html will be yourserver/~instant, not ~/instant/public_html [05:52] so of course it was not found [05:52] ... :) [05:52] Quick question - does anyone know how to switch channels in XChat? [05:53] im getting a permission denied although im root user in the shell, any idea why? [05:53] What are you trying to do Phaba? [05:53] Phaba: what are you trying to do? [05:53] I probably can't help, but it's worth a try [05:53] ./metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run [05:53] that command [05:53] sudo ./metaspolit-et [05:53] :x [05:54] Phaba: chmod +x meta.... [05:54] *etc [05:54] chmod +x [05:54] ahhhh [05:54] chmod +x metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run [05:54] Is +x the permission for "executable files"? [05:54] i thought root would have full execute access by default, cheers guys [05:54] Baralabite: makes it executable [05:54] Thanks [05:54] root doesn't have 'execute' flag, the files do [05:54] :p [05:55] !who | Baralabite [05:55] Baralabite: 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 :) [05:55] Sorry :/ [05:55] sorted, thanks again :P [05:55] hey its working now!! [05:55] finally wireless is working [05:56] Another "Thumbs up" to Ubuntu - I got a wireless stick the other day, took it out of the box, plugged it straight into my Desktop (running Ubuntu 12.04), and it worked! No drivers :) [05:56] *No driver installation required [05:56] another thumbs up to linux kernel, rather [05:57] Well, yes, to linux as a whole [05:57] baralabite, what did u get? [05:57] u got USB bootable linux? [05:57] No, it's Installed [05:57] Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop LTS [05:57] oh, but what wireless stick [05:57] * Baralabite is rummaging for box... === Guest35709 is now known as _dd [05:58] "I know it's here somewhere..." [05:58] kamas: Netgear N150 Wireless USB Adapter [05:59] So, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on VirtualBox first gave me terrible performance [05:59] tried mint on virtualbox [05:59] same [05:59] Then I installed Ubuntu 12.04 using Wubi [05:59] how can i make my ubuntu 12.0.4 lock the screen after 1 minute [05:59] Increase RAM? [05:59] and how can i change the password [05:59] to unlock it [05:59] !enter | Josh [05:59] Josh: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:59] Despite from the replies I heard about wubi [06:00] so any idea bazhang ? [06:00] Josh: How much ram have you given it? [06:00] Josh, ask a question [06:00] 1024 [06:00] bazhang, already have, just read it [06:00] How to cleanly kill all vnc processes [06:00] Josh: And what CPU have you got? [06:00] kamas: I'll look for a solution in a minute [06:01] Baralabite, I've got 2GB ram so I gave it half [06:01] I gave it 2 processors (from processor tab of virtualbox) [06:01] Josh, use a real install , not vbox or wubi [06:01] Josh: How much CPU have you got? [06:01] My CPU has VT-x by the way [06:01] Josh: What's your CPU [06:01] bazhang, That is not what I want. [06:01] How do I cleanly kill all vnc processes [06:01] Baralabite, Intel Duel Core [06:01] Josh, then expect slower performance [06:01] Josh: And what is your host OS, and what programs are you running on the host [06:01] Windows 7 [06:01] Josh: GHz? [06:02] None programs when I want to run Ubuntu as VM [06:02] except maybe X-Chat only [06:02] Josh: What is the GHz of the CPU? [06:02] virtualbox experience is pretty crappy, and will stay so [06:02] Baralabite, Let me show you screen shot of CPUz [06:02] vesa driver for gfx.. [06:02] Josh: Don't bother [06:02] Why? [06:02] Josh: Just type in "dxdiag" into the "Run" menu on windows 7 [06:02] It' [06:03] nah, I've already got screenshot [06:03] It'll have the CPU specs on that page [06:03] My guess is, that your computer can't perform any faster - understandable though [06:03] True. [06:03] But then Why WUBI is amazingly fast [06:03] I used to run Ubuntu in Windows, and it was pretty bad [06:04] Ohh, I thought you were saying that WUBI wasn't working(?) [06:04] Heck, its exactly like Actual proper install of ubuntu [06:04] because wubi = native install, only in windows filesystem [06:04] it's not virtualized [06:04] Yeah [06:04] Josh, it _is_ actual proper install of ubuntu === alyosha is now known as alyosha_sql [06:04] Josh, it only runs inside an image in windows'es filesystem [06:04] crizis, Yes, but people say, It is not a "proper" install [06:04] Josh: When VirtualBox is hosting an OS, it is sending the commands to the CPU [06:04] since the file lies in NTFS partition [06:04] As well as the Host OS [06:04] and experiance is bad. [06:04] it's not, kinda, but it's not virtualized [06:04] and yes, i wouldn't trust it, it breaks quite often [06:05] and i really mean it *breaks* on updates [06:05] So, now 2 OS's is sending commands to the OS, which slows everything down [06:05] and you can't fix it in any way anymore [06:05] *CPU [06:05] Baralabite, I see. [06:05] wubi was removed from the livecds for a reason, so crizis is right [06:05] *So now 2 OS's are sending commands to the CPU, which slows everything down [06:05] People seem to still adore VirtualBox over wubi [06:05] While for me it isn't even workable :3 [06:05] The Ubuntu installer has a "Install alongside Windows" option so I'd just use that [06:05] Josh, install 'guest additions' in virtualbox to get better gfx performance [06:05] That is why when you installed Wubi, since it is only running Ubuntu, and not windows, it is faster [06:05] crizis, Did [06:06] ok well, then it's pretty much best you'll get [06:06] and yes, vbox is slow [06:06] :P [06:06] sad. [06:06] crizis, what exactly guest addition does, Basically, how it has all the necessary drivers for every type of guest os? [06:07] Josh: So, anyway, summary: 2 OS's running at once slows down the CPU for both, but since Wubi (AFAIK) is only running Ubuntu, it's much faster, because it's only running one OS. Solution: Install Ubuntu seperately, and not virtualize it [06:07] it doesn't have drivers 'for every type', but it does have drivers for ubuntu up to 12.04 currently [06:07] and fedora and few other 'big' distros [06:08] So far I've found Ubuntu and Windows (and a few small (30MB)) distros of linux work fine in Virtual Box, although slow on my laptop [06:08] Baralabite, Can I format part of one of my (existing) NTFS partitions to ext4? and when I don't want it, remove it and join it back to main partition? as NTFS [06:08] crizis: Not exactly correct, it has generic Linux drivers (when you go to Devices -> Install guest additions), they do have requirements to kernel/X versions though [06:08] Probably... Don't take my word for it [06:08] Ohh, another note: [06:08] Josh: Yes you can, the Ubuntu installer will handle that just fine [06:08] Baralabite, The developer his self says of wubi that it is designed as a try out ubuntu, and not for longterm use. [06:09] theadmin, close enough :) [06:09] theadmin, Currently with wubi I have advantage of growing space as necessary [06:09] I gave it basic 15 GB space. [06:09] Although, I havn't really ran out of it yet [06:09] Josh: Uh, you can't grow it without doing a complete reinstall of wubi [06:09] theadmin, wubi says it grows? [06:09] Josh: So I don't see how that's an advantage of any kind [06:10] it is dynamic [06:10] Josh: Well the file will grow up to 15GB and then Ubuntu will report the drive as full [06:10] Josh: That's the idea [06:10] Josh: I installed Windows Along side Ubuntu, and then rather than, when I wanted to run Windows inside, installing a Windows in VirtualBox, I rather ran the Virtualization from the partioned space [06:10] I see. [06:10] did somebody answer my question i missed what was said [06:10] wilee-nilee Thanks :) I don't know much about Wubi, I've never used it [06:10] Kamas, I got it, I've just been a bit busy [06:11] But I've forgotten it again - refresh me [06:11] wilee-nilee, Well, but this try is running efficiently well if you ask me :D [06:11] I have complete ubuntu installed on other computer and it works exactly same. [06:12] <3 Ubuntu... I've got it installed on all my devices now :) [06:12] Baralabite: Even on the toaster? :P [06:12] (This is comming from a guy who for as long as he remembers has used Windows) [06:12] theadmin, hahaha [06:12] I don't own the toaster ;) [06:12] Me either. [06:12] Mum does :} [06:12] xD [06:13] If I could, I probably would install Ubuntu on the toaster though :} [06:13] Well, I suppose I'll just continue to use Ubuntu with wubi [06:13] until I get any problems [06:13] If I got a Raspberri Pi to controlling the turning on and off of the toaster.... :P [06:13] What problems I may expect ? [06:13] So I wont get heartattack >_> [06:13] :P [06:13] Josh, eventually it will break when you install updates [06:13] Josh: Well you can expect it to suddenly stop booting, that's about it [06:13] Updates? [06:13] Josh, Good, it can be transfered to a partition if you decide to have a regular install. [06:13] and it's not possible to fix it [06:13] All installed. [06:13] Baralabite: Ubuntu has no ARM support afaik [06:13] Baralabite: So no rpi for you [06:14] :'( [06:14] I'll just have to Virtualize it ;) [06:14] theadmin, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm [06:15] @crizis: Nice! [06:15] Well, The problem with alongside windows is that it installs Grub [06:15] crizis: Don't see anything about the Raspberry Pi there. Actually, I've seen on raspberrypi.org that they say that Ubuntu doesn't work with the pi [06:15] I don't want grub [06:15] I want MBR :3 [06:15] Josh: Why not? [06:15] theadmin, still, ubuntu does have ARM build :P [06:15] Just say I frequently make changes. [06:15] i downloaed .rb file for linux, how do i install it now on ubuntu 12? [06:16] theadmin, And without internet support, I don't know how to fix grub when ubuntu is uninstalled. [06:16] kamas: .rb looks like a ruby program... [06:16] Yeah [06:16] So, I like the way Wubi does it :3 [06:16] so how can i open it? i downloaed from here: http://speedcap.net/ [06:16] ruby .rb perhaps? I don't have any experience with ruby [06:16] Baralabite is correct. [06:16] It uses Windows Boot to boot ubuntu :3 [06:16] Well you need to install ruby first [06:17] whre can i get rubyfrom [06:17] Josh: It uses the Windows bootloader to boot GRUB after which that loads Ubuntu [06:17] kamas: sudo apt-get install ruby [06:17] sudo apt-get install ruby perhaps? [06:17] theadmin, I see. [06:17] ok [06:17] theadmin, So If I install along side windows how to tell it to do same? [06:17] I really don't want grub [06:17] is there any reason not to want grub? [06:17] what is the shortcut to paste in terminal? [06:17] * wilee-nilee waits to see josh here crying when a grub update puts grub in the mbr [06:17] ctrl+v does not work [06:18] kamas: Ctrl+Shift+V [06:18] * Baralabite almost booted the ubuntu partition from within ubuntu virtualbox... [06:18] kamas, ctrl-shift-v if you mean gnome-terminal [06:18] wilee-nilee, :[ [06:18] :P [06:18] looks like ruby is now installing! [06:18] ;D [06:18] Kamas: Next time choose a python program :} [06:19] C++ [06:19] :P [06:19] C [06:19] \o/ [06:19] has anyone noticed that df does not print / filesystem status anymore? [06:19] easy fix the mbr windows or grub load, a wubi grub in the mbr is a whole other thang [06:19] is python easier [06:19] i3d, ? [06:19] Yea, python is easier IMO [06:19] i3d: It does for me... [06:19] Python comes installed with most linux distroes [06:19] kamas: Python is one of the easiest languages around indeed. [06:19] *distros [06:19] Josh: 12.10 with Linux i3dmaster-linux 3.5.0-17-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 3 21:29:51 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux [06:20] wilee-nilee, I mostly dislike grub because If tomorrow I remove ubuntu, grub fails miserably. [06:20] there's really no difference in coding with ruby vs python. syntax is 90% the same and they both work pretty much alike [06:20] saying another is "easier" is just clueless [06:20] with today's udpate [06:20] Except ubuntu comes with python pre-installed, and is pretty universal [06:20] But then again, ruby is also pretty universal [06:20] so it comes with perl too... :P [06:20] But I'm ignorant in such matters :/ [06:20] ok now i have ruby, how do i install the .rb file [06:20] ruby isn't that portable [06:21] i type something in terminal? [06:21] wilee-nilee, and then to restore it, I have once used some googling, but say if I don't have internet at the time [06:21] python is slightly better portability-wise [06:21] crizis: I know both Python and Ruby. Python makes more sense in many ways. [06:21] I am screwed === kelebra is now known as rocheux [06:21] ruby .rb in terminal [06:21] I can't even boot windows then :D [06:21] crizis: hi warsow dev! [06:21] theadmin, i know both too, and i think c makes more sense :P [06:21] do i have to go tothe directory first [06:21] kamas: In terminal, type in: ruby .rb [06:21] Calinou, hi :) [06:21] Kamas, yes [06:21] Josh, Actually grub or a windows bootloader to the mbr is one or two commands, it is just a matter of knowing how. If you have windows and ubuntu dual booted and you want to remove ubuntu you just instal the windows boot to the mbr, one command and remove ubuntu, everything is working. [06:22] how can i get to the folder i need [06:22] crizis: Anyway we got offtopic, if you want to continue this you may PM me. [06:22] although, this is going a bit offtopic [06:22] :3 [06:22] yes :-) === anael is now known as Guest19973 [06:22] Okay, kamas [06:22] is there any reason not to want grub? < there is none [06:22] Do you know the "cd" command? [06:22] bootmgr cannot boot linux [06:22] yes [06:22] wilee-nilee, hmm... [06:22] Okay, err, you should know how to get to the Directory [06:22] wilee-nilee, To know how you need internet :D [06:22] :P [06:22] Usually. [06:22] but i dont know the names of any folder [06:22] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [06:22] thats whre i am now [06:22] Josh, Persoanlly I have 4 OS on my one 160 gig hd W7, and 3 linux installs. [06:22] i need to go to download folder [06:22] kamas: Right, that's your home directory [06:23] kamas: cd Downloads [06:23] kamas: Type in "cd Downloads" [06:23] wilee-nilee, wow [06:23] wilee-nilee, so, How do you transfer ubuntu from wubi to proper partition? [06:23] kamas: Then type in "ls" and see what comes up [06:23] I have a 400 GB partition with 300 GB free space. [06:23] I want to give ubuntu 30 GB space in that partition [06:23] but downloads might be a subfolder do i need to go to main folder first [06:23] Josh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [06:23] it does not find cd downloads now [06:24] is there cd all command [06:24] Kamas: Re-download the file and save it to the desktop [06:24] or cd list all folder [06:24] wilee-nilee, Thanks, one more question, If I remove ubuntu and format ext4 back to ntfs [06:24] can I join it like it was previously [06:24] 400 GB [06:24] without formatting the entire 400 GB ? [06:24] kamas: "downloads" and "Downloads" are not the same thing. [06:24] Kamas, do you want to go into private message? [06:24] ok [06:25] Josh, It will be joined automatically windows sees a NTFS automatically. [06:25] It sees NTFS yes, but it will be treated as 30 GB different partition [06:25] C D E and F of 30 GB [06:25] can F be joined to E again ? [06:25] Josh, It wil just be another lettered drive like you see in computer. [06:25] without formatting entire E [06:25] I know. [06:26] You can parition the free space from E to F but can you merge them back? [06:26] without formatting E [06:26] Josh: Please don't use Enter so much. Type the whole question on one line. [06:26] Josh: You can merge them back, yes, GParted (Linux) or EaseUS Partition Manager (Windows) will deal with that just fine. [06:27] Josh, The key here as far as partitions go is understanding the limitations in the max amount of primary partitons, and the use of a extended partition for the linux partitions [06:27] Josh: if your HDD is recent, you can have 128 partitions (GPT), else you can only have 4 (MBR) [06:27] your computer must use UEFI bios in this case too [06:27] if you use MBR, only primary partitions are bootable [06:28] theadmin, Sorry and The main concern is not merging, the main concern is without formatting one of them [06:28] Confusing much... [06:28] Josh: You don't have to format during the resizing, that's what I meant [06:28] Ah [06:28] Cause, I don't want to loose stuff that lies in My E [06:28] if I want to install ubuntu alongside windows, and my hardrive already has two partions, if I select "install along side windows" it acts like there is only one partition, I can change the size of it which is cool, but if I do that will it erase the info on one of my partions? [06:28] Josh: The basic idea is: resize one of the partitions and make another one in the free space (for Ubuntu). Then, if necessary, reverse the procedure [06:28] or will it create it's own partition? [06:28] Josh, I think in widows there are merge functions, in a linux setup we just resize the partitions, which you can do with a NTFS, in other words expand the ntfs into the area unallocated by the removal of a partition. [06:29] windows* [06:29] It sounds good then [06:29] Aravoth: It won't erase anything, it just gives yo the "space for windows" and "space for Ubuntu" sliders (space for Windows being both of your NTFS3 partitions) [06:29] I am off to moving from wubi to proper partition [06:29] in hope I wont loose data [06:29] Aravoth: If you're not sure what it's gonna do (I never am), better choose "Something Else" and deal with partitioning manually [06:29] Thanks a lot wilee-nilee theadmin and Calinou [06:29] so it won't erase anything fom either partiion? [06:30] Josh, Just make sure when doing this that you do not go over 4 primary partitions. [06:30] I've never really merged partitions [06:30] at least not without a format [06:30] :P [06:30] theadmin: heh, the installer should tell you what it does when you use the other options too, imo (just a suggestion) [06:30] Aravoth: Shouldn't. But then again, I never trust auto-partitioners :P [06:30] has anyone suggested this? [06:30] quite obvious [06:30] Calinou: Yeah it's obvious, have no idea why it doesn't do that [06:30] gotcha [06:32] if I could use after effects in ubuntu I'd drop this windows crap right now [06:33] Aravoth: You might be able too (there is some support for Windows applications through WINE) [06:33] Hmm, creating another partition from Gparted [06:33] Hope all goes well [06:33] s/too/to [06:34] If I lose my data, I am going to cry hard [06:34] :D [06:34] hi all [06:34] hi aneek [06:34] By the way how do you update ubuntu :P [06:34] is it possible? [06:35] I have 12.04 [06:35] it' should update automatically [06:35] Josh: Um, sure. Whenever there are updates available for your release, an update manager icon SUDDENLY on the panel [06:35] josh, apt was great to update [06:35] hi [06:35] do you mean update or upgrade [06:35] Josh: Just click it and it will guide you to it [06:35] can any one tell me how to manually locate any package in ubuntu , when its getting eror unable to locate package [06:35] can u please tell how to tell ls to show files with direcory [06:35] hi rock [06:35] crizis, Upgrade I assume [06:35] otherwise you can upgrade to 12.10 by unchecking lts realease only or whatever [06:36] Josh, for regular updates, just click top-right power icon and there's updates available / system is up to date- menu entry which opens update manager [06:36] I excited for steam porting games to ubuntu [06:36] Josh, for upgrade, this same updater app will tell 'new distribution release available' when stable release comes [06:36] Aravoth: You can't really upgrade to 12.10 yet [06:36] aneek, you need update your apt databases [06:36] Aravoth: It's in beta [06:36] Flash has just mysteriously stopped working for me in Chromium on 12.04. Thoughts? [06:36] crizis, I know how to update stuff with update manager [06:36] rock, ls [06:36] cjs: Tried restarting the browser? [06:36] Josh, well, it's the same app that will notify you about distribution upgrades [06:36] crizis, then entire ~600MB is downloaded again? [06:36] Or the parts which are updated? [06:37] like if i am in music direcotry i want tht "ls" give the output like /root/music/*mp3 [06:37] i need output in this format [06:37] Josh: Pretty much everything will be updated if you're upgrading to another Ubuntu version [06:37] Josh, also from ubuntu software centre -> manage software sources, you can define whether the updater prompts you for LTS releases only or for all releases [06:37] theadmin: Yes. [06:37] blackshirt i have tried with apt-get update, i am having debian package downloaded , when i am installing it. getting error unable to locate package [06:37] Rock: So with full path? [06:37] Josh, it'll update all the packages. so ye, it's usually 500-1500mb depending how much software you got intsalled [06:37] ah ok crizis [06:37] thanks [06:37] rock, you can grep it [06:38] yea but its not showing actually i want append ls output in txt file with full path but its only showing mp3 names [06:38] Oh, hang on, it's working some places. Weird. [06:38] aneek, you not describe on the detail [06:38] look i need my output in txt file like this /HDD1/music/10-the_smile.mp3 [06:39] in Gparted I clicked Resize, I wonder what Freespace preceeding and Freespace following means :3 === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower [06:39] Rock: use find. But why do you want this output? [06:39] i did it before long time ago but now i forget those command plz help [06:39] Rock: I don't see anything related in the ls manpage, try using find like jrib said [06:40] blackshirt, i am installing kaseya on my desktop, when i am runingin sudo apt-get install kaseya.deb or dpkg -i kaseya.deb its showing unable to locate package " [06:40] I first noticed the breakage on Steam's website, which used to work but now tells me I need the latest version of Flash to play the videos. Now, on Youtube, some videos work ok, others, such as < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krhHysLmXV0 >, give me, "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback." [06:40] theadmin, please help a bit, so I wont fail miserably and loose my data [06:40] :P [06:40] Does that video work for anybody else in Chromium on 12.04 64-bit, with the latest updates? [06:40] Josh: I have to leave in about an hour... But what do you need help with? [06:40] actually i want to make a playlist of a file to play in mplayer [06:40] in Gparted I clicked Resize, I wonder what Freespace preceeding and Freespace following means :3 [06:40] cjs, youtube.com/html5 :) [06:40] Preceeding and following? [06:40] crizis: Doesn't help with my Steam issue. [06:40] I thought it will be as easy as, get 40 Gigs from the free part [06:40] :3 [06:41] Josh: Basically, how much space will be before the partition, how much space will be after it [06:41] Josh: You don't really have to touch those 2 [06:41] Oh ok [06:41] New size = 40 [06:41] Thats it? [06:42] Josh: Um, I think the size is specified in mb [06:42] Josh: so 40960 [06:43] ah [06:43] Thanks a lot [06:44] Anyway, can nobody with a current 64-bit 12.04 Chromium have a look at that page for me? [06:44] * Josh gulps [06:45] it says Possible loss of data [06:45] cjs: Verify that you find either "Adobe Flash" or "Shockwave Flash" in about:plugins in Chromium and that it's enabled. [06:45] theadmin: Neither is there. Mysterious. [06:45] cjs - working fine here [06:45] somsip: Thanks! [06:45] today after ubuntu update dont work flash (youtube dont support html5 huh?) how to install 64bit version ? down from official site and copy .so to mozilla/plugins ? [06:45] patie: Did you just arrive? This sounds like exactly my problem. [06:46] cjs: Bah.. Try reinstalling Flash: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer [06:46] theadmin: Yup, did that, too. :-) [06:46] cjs: Ok... Then I say the problem is with Chromium... [06:46] i am trying to run SpeedCap.rb how can i do it? [06:46] Flash... Never... Works... [06:46] cjs: Someone fixed a similar problem by using the deb from Adobe's website [06:46] i did it all right but still not working [06:46] Baralabite: right :) [06:47] Then again, get Google Chrome [06:47] theadmin: Actually, I lied a little; I did an uninstall and a reinstall. But I've just tried your way, and have the same issue. [06:47] Baralabite: dont like.. .chrome :) its fast but unusable :P [06:47] i am using ubuntu 12.0.4 [06:48] theadmin: I was kind of hoping to just continue using the package system, but maybe installing it myself is the best solution. But what's the bit on this install page about 11.2 being the last version of Flash for Linux? [06:48] cjs: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_11.2_for_Ubuntu_(apt) [06:48] Here is the diff of 'df -ma' from 3.5.0-17 #26-ubuntu and 3.5.0-17 #27-ubuntu. http://pastebin.com/AnW9g5zj maybe some wise mind would tell what's going on. [06:48] sucks [06:48] cjs: And yeah, they're dropping Flash for Linux [06:48] kamas, * 12.04, versioning is .. just to nitpick a bit :) [06:48] I can't go over 4 primary partitions :3 [06:48] theadmin: WTF? [06:48] I actually have 3 already [06:48] and 4th was system reserved :3 [06:48] cjs: yeah, Adobe aren't continuing with Flash for Linux, and Mac OSX is going away soon too [06:49] cjs: it's pretty much obsolete now, though [06:49] cjs: Something about Google... It will only be available as a part of Chrome with the Pepper API or whatnot [06:49] gordonjcp: Why on earth are they doing that? They feel they have too much market share? [06:49] gordonjcp, not so "soon".. they promised updates for 5 years before deprecating it [06:49] theadmin, sad :[ [06:49] I can't move ubuntu to a proper partitions [06:49] which is likely a good timeframe for adobe's html5 tools to mature [06:49] Not that I object too much if everybody moves to HTML5, but it seems a strange move from a business point of view. [06:50] cjs, nah, development tools are exactly the adobe's product, not flash itself [06:50] Hm. I guess if they have a full set of Flash-like tools for HTML5, maybe they still keep all their old customers. But who knows. There's certainly less lock-in. [06:50] cjs: well it costs them money to produce [06:51] (quite a lot, at that [06:51] crizis: Yes, I know. I'm pretty familiar with the internals of SWF and their, uh, "interesting" interactions with Adobe's dev tools, since I wrote a SWF file editor myself. [06:51] cjs, they've already released some html5 tools - http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/09/adobes-continuing-revolution-pushes-the-cutting-edge-of-html5-development/ [06:51] gordonjcp: I wouldn't be surprised if maintaining the flash player is actually cheaper than handling all the different versions of HTML5 that will be out there. [06:51] cjs: not for Adobe it isn't [06:52] cjs: for HTML5 you just need to target Mozilla and Webkit [06:52] Anyway, back to Ubuntu stuff: theadmin, this page gives me an option for "ATP for Ubuntu 10.04+," but says, "Browser: Firefox". Is that OK? [06:52] and they've done a pretty good job of keeping things much the same [06:52] cjs: Should be... They should correct that to "Any browser with NPAPI support" [06:52] cjs: Chromium is among those [06:54] hi [06:54] can someone help me with c programing in ubuntu [06:54] rkrara: #c possibly [06:54] rkrara: depends on if it's Ubuntu-specific or not [06:54] thanks [06:55] i have been through lots of tutorials on how to do c programming on c [06:55] ubuntu [06:55] sorry [06:55] rkara, greats [06:55] but even the hello world program comes up with lots of errors [06:55] i have done lots of c programming in windows [06:56] rkrara, thats bad [06:56] rkrara: pastebin your code and the errors [06:56] rkrara,check your header [06:56] can you tell me how can i make sure things are set up correctly for c programming [06:56] rkrara, sudo apt-get install build-essential, for starters [06:56] gcc -o hell.c hello [06:56] comes up with errors like these [06:56] i did that [06:57] #include "stdio.h" [06:57] void main() { [06:57] printf("hello"); [06:57] } [06:57] show your errors ? [06:57] rkrara: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:57] !pastebin | rkrara [06:57] rkrara: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [06:57] sorry [06:58] rkrara: no worries, everyone's got to learn [06:58] thank you [06:58] right [06:58] rkrara: Rule #1: main should return int. [06:59] rkrara: Anyway, works for me: http://ideone.com/q2rSM [06:59] i have debian package, unable to locate them please tell me any manuall way [07:00] I'm partionng another area of my harddrive right now [07:00] http://ideone.com/0q9qY [07:00] please see here [07:00] seems safer that using ubuntu's auto installer [07:01] these errors are driving me crazy [07:01] hi all [07:01] rkrara: You're using #include wrong. [07:01] rkrara: #include [07:01] reallly [07:01] it used to work that way [07:02] rkrara: Next, I told you main should be an int. [07:02] rkrara: int main(){ ...; return 0; } [07:02] ok [07:02] i edited it [07:03] i have large increasing database and i will do business logic with it. . I prefer to use cluster server but i still information. please give me some clue... [07:04] i edited it as per instruction [07:04] but it still wont compile [07:04] rkrara: What's the command you're using to compile? [07:05] gcc hello.c -o hello [07:05] rkrara: Hm... That looks right. [07:06] theadmin: yes but i dont know what it wont compile [07:06] rkrara: Are you using some unofficial gcc package? [07:07] how could i make sure that gcc are set up properly [07:07] rkrara: why don't you pastebin the new contents of your file and the full output from gcc? [07:08] jrib: ok [07:08] please wait [07:10] http://ideone.com/C1IL3 [07:10] here [07:10] please have a lott [07:10] look sorry [07:10] rkrara: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:10] rkrara: Sounds like you're using some mad gcc package... The official one doesn't give such errors with exactly the same command [07:11] i used this command to install gcc and otheres # apt-get install build-essential [07:11] So is there way to create a 5 th partition? [07:12] rkrara: Hmmm... What Ubuntu are you using? (version and arch) [07:12] G parted says I already got 4 primary partitions. [07:12] Josh: Nope, only with extended partitions [07:12] theadmin: sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:12] How to create that? [07:12] i am on ubuntu 10.10 [07:12] But that will also be a primary partition [07:13] rkrara: 10.10 support was dropped a while ago. Please upgrade. [07:13] Josh, For a single HD it is 4 primaries or 3 primaries and a extended. [07:13] !eol | rkrara [07:13] rkrara: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [07:13] yes i would love to but recent versions keep crashing [07:13] all the time [07:13] wilee-nilee, Is it possible to remove system reserved and create extended :P [07:14] so it was only yesterday i installed 10.10 [07:14] Will removing system reserved kill windows? [07:14] :P [07:14] so that i can complete assignment on time [07:14] Josh: Yes, it will, it's the boot partition for Windows. [07:14] but no luck yet [07:14] Josh, What is the system reserved, and how big is it? [07:14] i cant even run hello world [07:14] rkrara: Try using some other distro then... Nobody will help you here if you're using an unsupported release (except to upgrade to a newer one) [07:15] ok shall i upgrade this one to 11.04 [07:15] online now [07:15] wilee-nilee, Its terribly small [07:15] It sucks to keep it as primery :P [07:15] I see, theadmin [07:15] Josh, It is the boot partition prbably is ut at the front of the disc? [07:15] probably* [07:15] rkrara: are you sure you don't have some hardware issue? What's with the "input/output" error [07:16] wilee-nilee, yes it is [07:16] and then I have my C D E [07:16] wilee-nilee: It is the boot partition recent versions of Windows create. [07:17] Josh, If you ran the bootscript a linux script we could see how the boot is set up, but you don't want to resize the main C partition the windows OS from the front is all [07:17] jrib: yes because 10.10 work very well [07:17] as soon as i install 12.04 things go bad worse [07:18] rkrara: well this error is on 10.10, no? [07:18] wilee-nilee, I can't resize C, Its already terribly small [07:18] rkrara: Hm... I blame faulty RAM. [07:18] 40 Gigs [07:18] yes this is on 10.10 for now [07:18] rkrara: 10.10 doesn't need as much RAM so it probably won't touch the damaged registers, but as soon as you start doing anything serious... [07:18] but i remember i used this for programing earlier and it worked [07:19] Josh, If it was me I would clone the ubuntu if it is working, and then in its place put a extended, then put ubuntu back in a logical in the extended, I think this will work, then in the extended you can basically put as many logicals that wil fit, including NTFS that windows will see. [07:19] could you tell me command to remove and install things all over again for c programming [07:19] wilee-nilee, Umm, Clone ubuntu if it is working <== fine [07:19] But it is currently installed on Wubi :P [07:19] Which is on E [07:19] rkrara: at the very least run a few passes of memtest to check theadmin's theory [07:19] Josh, Exactly. [07:20] System Reserved, C D E [07:20] Those are the primary partitions [07:20] i can't remove any of those [07:20] Too much of data. [07:20] Josh, People all the time run into the manufacturer install of 4 primaries, you can deal with it in a number of ways. [07:21] wilee-nilee, Without having loss of data of partition E [07:21] Tell me a way, Kindly. [07:21] Josh, What is in E? [07:21] I didn't understood the previous one [07:21] Lots of C++ projects and other stuff I work on [07:21] And a few other vids and stuff [07:22] over 150 Gigs [07:22] 180 to be exact. [07:22] Josh, IS this stuff symlinked or free standing stuff? [07:22] sort of symlinked, I mean VS can't detect the projects if Drive letter is changed. [07:23] Vids are freestanding. [07:23] Projects are not and thats the main part. [07:24] Josh, Ah, Some just clone the main OS, and or have a install or recovery discs full install dics that is and remove the backup, I assume you have a backup partition. Some remove the manufacturer data partion or save it and put it in the exteneded. [07:24] Whats manufacturer data partition? [07:25] Josh, Many manufacturers have a small partition that has drivers..etc from them. [07:25] Ah, mine is assembled by me, so no manufacturer. [07:25] crapware really it makes the computer run slower in genral, and has more active processes. [07:26] Josh, That's good then as far as extra stuff not needed from the manufacturer, do you have an external? [07:26] Nope [07:27] Also copying takes tons of time :[ [07:28] Josh, Well to be honest you may be better with the wubi as it is now, but in the future I think you are getting the gist of how to setup the ubuntu in a extended partition in logical partitions if needed. [07:28] Yea, well I have done that previously [07:28] when I had 160 Gigs old HDD spare [07:28] That died a few months ago :[ [07:29] Thanks wilee-nilee :] [07:30] Josh, no problem. === christian is now known as Guest72974 === theplanet is now known as elixey [07:35] Ok so..

User specific mail doesnt seem to filter according to rules, when I create a .procmailrc in the home dir, although if I define the rule globally, the mail gets filtered [07:51] any ideas why would this happen? [07:55] Hey everybody!I've just scanned some documents as pictures and saved them into pdf files using XSane. There's one thing I don't find very nice though: when I open the pdf files with evince I can read "XSane scanned image" in the window title. Is there a way to remove this kind of mark? People receiving my pdf scans are more interested in the document title than in the software I used to scan the document.. [07:57] Lorra: ahem "xscan scanned image" in google is quity funny [07:57] Lorra: I imagine there's some option in the program you use to scan to change that. Or you could look into using a tool to change the title afterwards [07:58] Lorra: I have no experience with it though [07:59] jrib, do you ever use a scanner software? Which one do you use? [07:59] Lorra: I don't [08:00] Lorra: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27381/how-to-edit-pdf-metadata-from-command-line is probably enough for you, but I'd be willing to bet there's a nicer way to do it with your scanning software's configuration [08:02] Lorra, there used to be "simple scan" or something with similar name [08:03] Can not get chromium to load flash plug in [08:04] brontosaurusrex, which frontend are you talking about? XSane? The only buttons I found interesting there were the number of dots per inch and "scan preview" and "scan" [08:04] Hi, the ultrabook on www.ubuntu.com is Acer S3? [08:06] Lorra, there was an app with that name [08:06] "simple scan" or something [08:11] Is there any way I can make a 12.04.01 LTS disk that could install both 32 and 64 bit? === amogorkon_ is now known as amogorkon [08:14] #jython [08:14] orik: what do you mean? 64 & 32 bit apps on one install?

[10:23] can anyone hlp me out with issue I am facing ?? [10:23] or maybe something wrong with firewall or something else [10:24] on my ip adress [10:24] samuel: common problem is one or more getting owned by root from missuse of sudo.

[10:35] oh, sorry [10:35] ActionParsnip what do you mean about local [10:36] i have a remote ftp service [10:36] and i'm connecting from my local machine to remote ftp service [10:37] what's mean connect from local host to local service [10:37] i'm not a owner of ftp and i havent ssh [10:37] devjustforfun_: ssh to the server and ftp to localhost [10:38] devjustforfun_: you need to be sure the FTP can be connected to ok [10:39] another people connecting to that ftp use same login and pass just fine [10:39] hi [10:39] Hi there, Im wondering if anyone knows of a screen recorder that works with cinnamon UI? [10:40] I use cinnamon [10:40] devjustforfun_: so you mean you *use* a remote ftp service [10:40] But i don't know :P [10:40] yes [10:40] rp2 yes [10:40] and i haven't access to that service as root by ssh [10:40] i would think most of the recorder tools would work with any of the desktops [10:40] which ftp client are you using? [10:40] try the ftp command [10:41] Josh, fair enough. I know Kazam has big issues in Gnome3 and cinnamon. [10:41] i tried but nothing happened rp2 [10:41] WACOMalt: the DE isirrelevant, just use any [10:41] 227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,220,123). ftp: connect: Connection timed out [10:41] what do you mean by that? [10:41] ah [10:41] WACOMalt, But cinnamon is FTW [10:41] that error was ocures [10:41] Its supposed to be built in to cinnamon and Gnome3, as a feature. but the keyboard shortcut doesnt work for me. Josh can you try ctl alt shift R [10:41] ok [10:42] maybe they don't support passive more? [10:42] mode i mean === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [10:42] WACOMalt: tried kazam? [10:42] can you get through to the FTP port at all? [10:42] Josh: its also unsupported here :) [10:42] ActionParsnip, I mentioned that [10:42] and yes, it has big issues. [10:42] another people connect to it in passive mode and for them is work fine [10:42] whgat happens on 'telnet 21' ? [10:42] ActionParsnip, It dosn't needs support :D [10:42] WACOMalt: or recordmydesktop [10:42] I'd rather say that [10:42] :D [10:43] cinnamon on ubuntu 12.04 > cinnamon on mint [10:43] ActionParsnip, I havent personally tried that, but posts seem to indicate it has the same problems. Apparantly gnome3 screen recorder, built into gnome3 and cinnamon should work [10:43] My experiance. [10:43] but its not in my gnome3 or cinnamon :/ === lizzin is now known as Guest34724 [10:44] rp2 server is avaliable [10:44] WACOMalt: there is also istanbul and xvidcap [10:44] and authentication work just fine [10:45] rp2 [10:45] ActionParsnip, do you know if Kazaam has a chatroom? Id love to talk to their devs about it [10:45] !alis | WACOMalt have a search [10:45] WACOMalt have a search: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [10:45] WACOMalt: #kazam maybe [10:46] WACOMalt: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kazam+irc yes [10:46] devjustforfun_: If the *server* is sending "227 Entering Passive Mode" then you need to configure the FTP *client* to use PASV mode, else it will ignore that message [10:46] WACOMalt: see how I searched, and found the result needed...? [10:46] I did :) [10:46] i use PASV mode [10:46] WACOMalt: so why ask? [10:46] * WACOMalt learns from ActionParsnip's example [10:46] TJ- i use PASV mode [10:46] devjustforfun_: how do you mean 'authentication works just fine'? you can log in, and only switching to passive mode causes the timeout? [10:47] Command: PASV Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,185,51). Command: MLSD Error: Connection timed out Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing [10:47] then why switch to passive mode? [10:47] anyone faced with SDL issue [10:48] hmm' [10:48] devjustforfun_: Are you working through a proxy? [10:48] yes [10:48] but [10:48] Also mildly offtopic ActionParsnip but do you find duckduckgo to actually be better than google's results? [10:48] Is it an anonymous proxy, or does it require authentication too? [10:48] ah so the proxy asks the server to switch to passive mode? [10:48] sysadmin say ftp not by proxy [10:48] hmmm [10:48] So, you're *not* using a proxy! [10:49] so what is causing that PASV Response to be sent? [10:49] but for http i'm using [10:49] I'm on 12.04. What I would like to do is use the GTK2 toolkit instead of the GTK3 toolkit so I can use GTK2 themes in WindowMaker. How do I go about this? [10:50] well, the ftp command line client doesn't use a HTTP proxy [10:50] you don't [10:50] which client are you using? [10:50] filezilla [10:50] ardchoille, install old gtk2 software, that's pretty much. but you can't change toolkit for gtk3 apps [10:50] try the ftp command line client [10:50] WACOMalt: lots as you can use the bang syntax [10:50] and i tried just a ftp command [10:50] ok [10:51] nothing happened [10:51] crizis: ok, thank you [10:51] and you still get the switching to PASV mode response? [10:51] devjustforfun_: I'd be using "tcpdump" to watch the actual packets on the wire for this; that might clue you in on what's missing [10:51] what do you mean by 'nothing happened'? please be specific [10:52] ardchoille: you can't change the toolkit that a program uses without re-coding the program... it's like, if you're house is made out of wood, you can't just that without rebuilding your house :) [10:53] have you read the FileZilla docs: e.g. http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Passive_mode [10:53] 227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,220,123). ftp: connect: Connection timed out # that for ftp command error [10:53] devjustforfun_: Do a session to the server in the command-line FTP client, and pastebin the session transcript for us [10:53] ftp -vp 193.107.238.149 [10:53] crazydip: Got it, thanks [10:54] TJ- ok [10:54] Hello [10:54] FileZilla does support HTTP proxies, so make sure its proxy- and PASV-related settings are correct [10:55] I have problem with install ubuntu12.04 . receive this message "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility" [10:55] How can fix it ? [10:55] http://pastebin.com/xRDez1pr [10:55] mah454: are you installing to a virtual machine? [10:55] this is for filezilla [10:55] ActionParsnip: no [10:55] mah454: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [10:56] guys, I see in my unity ubuntu systray, kde-accessible appears and can not be hidden. It always reappears not so long after I click on it and clik "quit." I have checked the dconf-editor whitelist, but I can not find it. It appeared for the first time when I ran orca. In kde-desktop, I was able to hide it. Any suggestion? [10:56] ActionParsnip: yes it's true [10:56] mah454: are you using a CD or a USB stick etc? [10:56] CD/DVD [10:56] devjustforfun_: you confuse us. you are not explicit enough. without knowing what you're doing helping you requires mindreading capabilities. mindreading is not yet an Ubuntu feature [10:57] mah454: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? [10:57] devjustforfun_: "PORT 192,168,12,216,164,225" [10:58] hello i'm back :P [10:58] ActionParsnip /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is empty === peterrus- is now known as peterrus [10:59] devjustforfun_: the server is unable to connect to your client's listening socket, therefore it goes into passive mode [10:59] also my /root/.gconf contained only a folder for the first connection that i wished to do away with, removing that did not remove it from the nm-manager applet [10:59] devjustforfun_: That causes your client to be told (by the server) that it can't do a direct connection, so the client then asks for PASV mode, the server replies (227 Entering Passive Mode ...) ... and the connection times out after "MLSD" - that tells us the client isn't establishing the DATA channel correctly [11:00] ActionParsnip: maybe ! burn have problem ! [11:00] if i do a locate on connections it shows me an entry for 1 and 2 in ~/.gconf but not 3 (the one i wish to keep) if i cd to that location it only shows me a folder for 3! [11:01] so the new port the server's listening on is not connectable from the client end either. FTP is such a broken protocol [11:01] devjustforfun_: I'd use tcpdump for this. You need to know if the client is establishing/trying a connection to the server's DATA port. tcpdump should reveal which end is having the problem. I'd suggest it is the local firewall on your LAN [11:02] mah454: burn slowly, it helps [11:02] devjustforfun_: If the LAN's local firewall policy for outgoing connections is restrictive, it *may* block outgoing connections to high-port numbers (> 1023) in order to ensure clients are only connecting to well-known-services [11:02] Is there a driving route planning software that anyone knows about [11:03] TJ- i will trying [11:04] TJ- how to use tcpdump [11:04] This is a command line application [11:05] howdyl. i have a problem which drives me nuts: i run an intel dh67bl motherboard with snd-hda-intel driver pci id: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) . and the sound starts stuttering and i get scratchy noises in all adio applications from time to time. especially when i run quodlibet. when i turn off the sound using applications it reverts to normal sound again. crazy bs [11:05] i tell ya. can anybody help? [11:06] bondj, open up terminal, type alsamixer, set PCM to 80 [11:07] devjustforfun_: I'm a bit rusty on FTP capture, I'm checking now since you need to follow the PASV port too === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan [11:08] bazhang, why would the volume be related to this? i mean it works ok for some time with volume 100 and then suddenly the sound goes to hell and starts stuttering and all [11:08] hi, is it possible to set the sender and answer-to address with the command "mail" in the console? [11:08] bondj, the scratchy sound you referred to [11:08] my guess would be that you need to open up your firewall for either active or passive mode [11:08] devjustforfun_: This *should* do it. "sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -tttttt tcp and host 193.107.238.149" [11:09] devjustforfun_: On a side note, can't you get around it by using a saner, modern protocol (like ssh or samba)? ftp belongs in a museum [11:10] TJ- thanks i try [11:10] bazhang, let me make it clearer. sound is good, even when i turn it up. but the sound is not just a little scratchy on high volumes etc. it just goes to hell from time to time and not only on high volumes. and sound lags hangs and sounds different and very very broken and F'd up as it could be. [11:11] geirha not i'm not only ftp [11:11] bondj: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot [11:12] ActionParsnip, why should i delete my pulseaudio settings? do you think i misconfigured something? i'd rather find the source of this madness than reverting to defaults [11:12] since i run 5.1 system and headphones with mci [11:12] mic [11:13] i mean i had the problem right after installation anyways [11:13] bondj: I think what ActionParsnip is getting at is, if you run it with defaults, is the sound breakage still present. If it was there at installation, that rather answers the point :) [11:14] you can always use mv ~/.puslse{,OFF} [11:14] bondj: In your position I'd be identifying which sound module is in use by the kernel and doing some searches about that to find out if maybe you're encountering a common problem with a known workaround. There's often solutions in the launchpad bug reports, for example [11:15] ahem [11:15] I mean mv ~/.pulse{,.OFF} [11:15] how could i analyze this sound problem of mine? interestingly a friend of mine has the same problem on an intel laptop with the snd-hda-intel driver [11:15] but hes even more of a linux non-guru than me :) [11:15] i need some help please. i am trying to install what i am reading here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220 [11:16] TJ-, i run snd-hda-intel [11:16] bondj: The key thing here will likely be the sound CODEC in use, which will depend on the sound chipset. There are often-times options you can add to the kernel's sound driver to let it know to use some quirk or other with the particular CODEC/chip combination [11:16] sudo modprobe ndiswrapper stops, doesnt give any answer [11:16] then i cannot proceed with sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf [11:17] its says culdn't open neti2220.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219 [11:17] any help please. its important for me. thanks in advance [11:18] i dont get any sound via my hdmi, why is that?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:25] shivam, thats end of life [11:25] devjustforfun_: If the firewall is blocking the ftp outgoing connection, it would most likely be a rule that blocks outgoing connections to high port ranges [11:26] shivam, see the link above to upgrade [11:27] TJ- that mean that ftp server try to connect to hight port ranges but firewall for ftp connection block high port ranges [11:27] TJ- that might be only for my ip address? [11:29] devjustforfun_: It could be; there's no telling what rules are being enforced without talking to the network adminstrator [11:29] lol [11:30] devjustforfun_: Be clear though, for PASV mode, the server doesn't try to make any connections. PASV means that the server tells the CLIENT which ports to connect to [11:31] http://is.gd/ZsI5ia [11:31] anyone can help me please? i followed the procedure of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220 but the systme still denies to recognize my wireless card. any idea?

[11:47] ripinged: you meant 32bit and yes you can and use the -pae kernel [11:48] IdleOne: so why recommend 32bit? its outdated if the system runs 64bit [11:48] k1l_: it isn't outdated [11:48] some people just don't know and 32bit is the safe bet that will work. [11:49] Can anyone recommend a good channel for people talking about computers? [11:49] shivam: it says 32bit recommented because 32bit runs on 32bit and 64bit systems. so its a 100%. the 64 cant run on 32bit so there is a possible failure. so they recommend 32bit to avoid the failure [11:49] last time i started up my computer and turned on firefox something glitched and the computer froze up. the text doubled? gt all glitchy looking and there was no way to close out FF or ctrl shft f1 into a terminal to kill it. idees to figure out whats wrong and how to prevent it int he future?

How can the same bug exist from 2009-2012 and such a serious one? [12:23] Launchpad bug 484252 in usb-creator (Ubuntu Precise) "Format action wipes all partitions" [High,Fix committed] === sub|dog is now known as subdesign [12:29] just wondering .. do I need to be root to install this: https://github.com/anarsoul/libfprint [12:29] zetheroo: libfprint is in the repositories, use apt [12:30] jrib: the repo version does not support my hardware [12:31] zetheroo: well you don't /need/ to be root but you may want to install it system-wide anyway [12:31] hi guys - ubuntu 10.04 sits in a data center. They like all outbound http/https connections to go via a proxy. I have configured aptitiutde to use the proxy OK. Question is, how best can I use it so that any outbound connections from the server use this http/https proxy? [12:32] bubu\a, you could do it via netfilter/iptables, this way its transparent to any application. "they" could do that aswell [12:33] hi folks. I got some advanced network problem here. I'm sitting in a large reading room of a library with only a single wifi antenna. There are further antennas outside I could connect to, but my wifi seems to choose the nearest one (although the connectivity is bad). Is there a chance to select an antenna manually? I'm using precise. [12:33] thx nibbier , was thinking ip tables [12:33] jrib: this does not seem to be working [12:33] sudo: ./configure.ac: command not found [12:33] usb flash drive will not reformat, i can still see some files on it, but they cant be deleted, any tools to solve that?

Then it drops to console prompt. Any ideas pls? [12:34] bubu\a, so you were thinking right already ;-) http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html goes this direction. most software will honor the HTTP_PROXY enviroment variables which might make netfilter solutions a bit overkill [12:34] delete the partitions and remake them perhaps brontosaurusrex [12:34] zetheroo: my recommendation is for you to either: 1) seek for an existing backport of the version in quantal 2) create a backport of quantal using the tool ubottu is about to tell you about 3) create your own updated package using the docs ubottu can send you if you /msg ubottu packaging (see the recipes section) [12:35] dr_willis, wont work, i tryed gparted [12:35] nibbier, wold it be: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination proxyip:port ?? [12:35] brontosaurusrex: see if you can use dd to zero it out. if that fails the usb has gone bad would be my guess [12:35] jrib: I don't think the version for quental supports my hardware either [12:35] dr_willis, example command? [12:36] brontosaurusrex: ive aeen them fail where they get stuck 'write' protected === Mikilivil is now known as Mikelevel [12:36] bear in mind that this is a web serer and therefore only want http outbound that originates from the server to route via proxy...

(3) is still an option. but if you want to ignore my advice, you probably need to run autogen.sh so a ./configure gets created [12:36] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX [12:36] typical noobuntu users [12:36] be sure to get X right ;) [12:36] erasing hard disk without knowing [12:36] zetheroo: quantal is still not released, that's why everyone is not using it :) [12:37] n00bs [12:37] arch-user: do you have a question?

[12:37] Why is ubuntu not as good as arch? [12:38] typical troll is typically ignored.. [12:38] gordonjcp, yes i was. dont use autoconfig if you are not happy with the results - or manipulate it to make you happy [12:38] nibbier: yeah, I want autoconfig [12:38] nibbier: I just want it to ignore a particular interface [12:38] arch-user: troll the arch channels, pls [12:39] gordonjcp, i think interfaces mentioned in the /etc/network/interface (or such) are not autoconfigured, so ignored for that [12:39] arch-user: #ubuntu-offtopic, if you must [12:39] arch-user: that's an opinion,. so is not concrete. WHat is ideal for one is bad for another [12:39] dr_willis, its blinking after this command, red light thought :P [12:40] brontosaurusrex: how big is the usb? [12:40] 4 gigs [12:40] you should have added bs=1k [12:40] shouldent take too long.. if its deag.. seen 4gbs for sale for $5 [12:40] it will take forever now... [12:40] bubu\a, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html#s6 is pretty precise on that, its pre and postrouting, you might be able to skip the snap part... [12:40] zetheroo: why don't you at least try to backport the version of quantal to see if it works since you aren't sure whethere or not it does? And at least make an attempt at (3) if it doesn't? [12:40] !backport > zetheroo [12:40] zetheroo, please see my private message [12:41] dr_willis, i know, its academic question ....

[13:18] ActionParsnip: it doens't make one when installing ubuntu-server [13:18] TimothyA: it does, I've done it a tonne of times [13:18] cause it seems I'm not competent to fix the driver issues on this os [13:18] then what's this secret user?

[13:21] ActionParsnip: I dunno what you meant I should do with wubi, I dont think I'm following u any more ... but I'm gonna try on ubuntu [13:21] ActionParsnip: i repeated the installation giving the command sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf with i2220ntx.sys in the same dir with neti2220.inf file and i got the message that driver neti2220 is already installed. the same message i got previously when i repeat the procedure without the new .sys file, but not hte first time when i got the missing alert message. is it ok now. or do i have to do somenthing else. for example to deinstalla the [13:21] drive r and install it agian? [13:21] TimothyA: an Ubuntui default server installation does not have a root account enabled for interactive login. so your provider has done something odd. [13:21] is there any way to FIX apt-get? [13:21] I don't want fontconfig [13:21] I don't need it [13:22] TimothyA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Garnfv2pf2s blast forward to 1:20 and watch. [13:22] I want it gone [13:22] just tell me how to get rid of this fontconfig abomination [13:22] apt-get is not what is broken, that package is broken and probably because of that custom kernel [13:22] akis: thats because you screwed it up last time, remove all the drivers from ndiswrapper and start again with the ndiswrapper config [13:22] IdleOne: so how do I get rid of this package so I can use apt-get again? [13:22] that's the only thing I want right now, as this is just wasting time [13:23] TimothyA: "MY head hurts, help me remove it." "It's probably a headache. try some analgesics," "HELP ME CUT MY HEAD OFF!" [13:23] TimothyA: I think you have tried pretty much everything. [13:23] ok. that a good idea. but how can i remove them completely and start for the begining? [13:24] TimothyA: you don't know how to fix the issue, seek advice from those that do, and then dismiss that advice as "not what i want." [13:24] mneptok: ... so far none of the advice has worked [13:24] least everything we have been able to think of [13:24] why is apt-get this fragile [13:24] IdleOne: if you look at the paste, it also says (while processing `./etc/fonts/conf.d/README') which seems obscure [13:24] "Oops. I downloaded a package that is broken. NOW YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ANYMORE!" [13:24] YEYA [13:24] TimothyA: contact your VPS provider. ask about custom tweaks they have done, and how a user works with them to fix package issues. [13:24] TimothyA: That custom kernel is probably what is causing the issue. [13:24] TimothyA: its not so fragile, its just one of the huge weaknesses in package based OSes [13:25] so how do I get rid of the package? I don't want it anymore [13:25] TimothyA: YOU CAN'T, talk to your VPS support. [13:25] ...WHY THE HELL CAN'T I [13:25] TimothyA: you could extract the deb and put the files around the place, then install the deb. Should be ok, especially the readme file [13:26] because your VPS provider did done went and broke something. I can't make this any more clear. [13:26] IdleOne: odd that I am the only one then [13:26] TimothyA: oh, is it a VPS? [13:26] this specific server is a VPS, yes [13:26] oh jeez those are always fun [13:26] anyone know SARg report ? [13:27] ActionParsnip: look at the kernel name, there is some custom stuff in there for sure. [13:27] so why the hell would it work for everyone but me? [13:27] I've seen all sorts of dumbness wjith VPSes [13:27] hi i only have 1gb hdd on my ubuntu computer because linux dont need lottof space so i want to add more memory i was wondering since i have lot of old cell phone around can i use wires to connect cell phone memories together and make more room in computer memory with cell phone? [13:27] ActionParsnip: ... I need apt-get to install a package in order to extract the .deb ... [13:27] TimothyA: no, you can just use: ar x filename to extract debs [13:28] The program 'ar' can be found in the following packages: [13:28] is any apt get package for what i want? [13:28] this sucks... [13:28] TimothyA: ar is in a standard install. Your VPS has removed it for some stupid reason [13:28] I spent all night transferring 600GB... [13:28] and now *THIS* [13:28] hello? [13:28] one MINOR problem, and the entire OS has become utterly unusable [13:29] and there is no option to remove the broken package [13:29] TimothyA: if you had a standard install you would not have an issue [13:29] ActionParsnip: ... [13:29] TimothyA: I've seen people on VPS where the setuid bit wasn't set on sudo [13:29] TimothyA: makes sudo NOT work [13:29] help please [13:29] "If you used OS9 you would not have this issue" [13:30] TimothyA: VPS idiots seem to love messing with the OS so it doesn't work. The OS will installl and upgrade just fine and you should at least have ar installed. Its a default app, but again, your admin peeps have been messing around [13:31] dont get mad [13:32] AR__ i'm not sure what you mean about sticking your phone memories together like that, i cant see it working easily [13:32] ubuntu memory manger very smart [13:32] if they were SD cards you could use a hub and then mount the file system and creat a link between the mounted media and somewhere in your userspace [13:32] should maybe work [13:33] 1gb is quite small, are you using a minimal installation to get that working? [13:33] ubantu linux no x server [13:33] ActionParsnip: could ypu please advise me how can i deinstall the driver to start from the begging the installation? [13:33] so its essentially just a terminal? [13:34] that is linux [13:34] no, linux is a kernel :P [13:34] linux is not a kernel [13:34] the terminal is one way, the main way of interacting witha linux based os [13:34] linus not intend graphic lol [13:34] test [13:35] ubuntu is an o/s, linux is the kernel [13:35] Linux is a kernel, or OS, that coupled with userland apps creates a Linux distribution [13:35] linux is the os the kernel is BSD [13:35] you best be trolling [13:35] ubuntu is the flavor/distro like how windows has xp 7 8 [13:35] hello. anyone else know about issues with google plus hangout?

[13:37] no fighting [13:37] LINUX IS NOT A KERNEL [13:37] hi all [13:37] Linux is rms? [13:37] I'm not sure if it's a support question, more of learning about the system. What are the steps from power on to the login screen? I know initramfs is in there [13:37] linux is not a kernel the definition is: An open-source version of the UNIX operating system.

[15:33] now to try whether it works after reboot :/ [15:34] Unfortunately I think you may be a little over my head. [15:34] okay. Not a problem. Thanks for the help on the symlinks! [15:34] Sorry.

My computer is older and I'd like to run a GUI for movies but the new one is too heavy for the machine [15:56] !lubuntu | Kwayzu [15:56] Kwayzu: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [15:56] xubuntu is not lightweight; lubuntu is [15:56] Kwayzu, did you try running LXDE? [15:56] No I haven't, I'm failry new to Linux [15:56] fairly* [15:56] and grammar apparently [15:57] lubuntu isnt light weight windows 3.1 is [15:57] Kwayzu, i'd look into installing LXDE on your server, it shouldnt be too hard, i just don't remember the packages on it [15:57] I'm sure I can google it :D [15:57] samuel, in comparison to XFCE, Unity, or KDE, it's lightweight :P [15:57] avoid installing X on a server for security reasons [15:57] thanks TheLordofTime [15:57] better do it with just SSH; this is possible. it's not that hard [15:57] it depends on what you are comparing [15:57] I'm just looking to run a mumble server with a lamp stack [15:58] if you were to order them in terms of weightyness you would do lxde, xfce, gnome, kde, unity [15:58] son that scale its on the light weight side [15:58] TheLordOfTime: why LXDE on a 'server' ? Just curious. [15:59] unless there is a maximum default ram usage rule for light weight, i have never seen one mentioned [15:59] melvincv, if and only if you want a GUI :P [15:59] melvincv, personally, i do most stuff in CLI [15:59] how do you manage the power settings in ubuntu studio? i'm used to the regular ubuntu and need to find the power management icon.

[16:00] melvincv, evil evil evil evil. oh, did i mention its evil? (i don't like it :P) [16:00] I could, but I want the gui for movies in my living room where the server is [16:00] !ebox | samuel [16:00] samuel: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[16:00] its just a home server, nothing for production purposes :) [16:00] cant you achieve that with a samba share Kwyazu [16:00] That would require another computer :S [16:00] samuel, to give you an idea of a web administration panel... :P [16:01] You have another computer for me Samuel? [16:01] :D [16:01] lol [16:01] Hi [16:02] no, samba runs on your server and shares the files with other computers on the network [16:02] Lol, I know [16:02] I have it installed already! :D [16:02] otherwise, if you only have one computer, then you dont need a server, you just need a desktop os [16:02] I have a computer [16:02] but I've got roommates too [16:02] :P [16:02] Who I like to share with. [16:02] Kwayzu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:02] so use samba to share the files on your computer [16:02] you can get a gui for samba to manage the permissions [16:03] er.... [16:03] I'm not looking for the gui to manage the server.

[16:04] it even has snes/gba emulator intrigration [16:04] dougsko: because what you call rescue mode is really single user mode [16:04] Hola! [16:05] dougsko: there's no inittab called in rescue mode, so you'll only see single user screen. [16:05] Hello!

[18:21] W6000: gnome2 is dead move on === dpac is now known as dpac|away [18:21] ThinkT510: gnome2 =( sniff snifff... =( [18:21] i can't work with this crap called gnome 3 [18:21] so cmdline info for streamer,,, is it deb -I streamer,,, dpkg -I streamer yeilds... dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `streamer': No such file or directory [18:21] thanks... [18:21] W6000: if you must have gnome2 then 10.04 is supported for desktop till april 2013 [18:21] So back to the general public: Anyone familiar with TV and Kaffeine? My scan for channels has no results... [18:22] PRabyte: apt-cache show package_name; [18:22] W6000: I have the same opinion.... But I've always been worked with KDE since 2.0... [18:22] even darmok on tanagra can't work with gnome 3, he said its unfuried [18:22] facebook video call in firefox web browser [18:22] rsser, it says that it is going to take 6 minutes till video is uploaded [18:22] hi, how can i get -I info from dpkg info option? say dpkg -I streamer. question: does dpkg only present info on what is loaded ? and if that is the case, how can i via cmdline get info of a program i wish to install on the system locally. thanks! ps, i could use ubuntu software center, but i like cmdline better. so cmdline info for streamer,,, is it deb -I streamer,,, dpkg -I streamer yeilds... dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `st [18:22] how can i quickly see a list of all partitions on my computer? [18:22] PRabyte: if I understood correctly, apt-file is also useful for getting info about uninstalled packages (like dpkg -S, dpkg -L) [18:22] one that isnt installed yet... [18:23] ok [18:23] ok trism [18:23] thanks [18:23] PRabyte, there is also apt-cache policy,dump,show [18:23] and dpkg-query -l [18:23] there is no apt-file in tab completion [18:23] someone told me in 20 years you may have zetabytes [18:23] ah, thanks bobweaver [18:24] udisks gives yyyyyyyyya partitions im sure [18:24] whats char is -L? [18:24] so i have to use ZFS for zetabytes? [18:24] PRabyte: apt-file isn't installed by default, apt-cache is probably what you were looking for though [18:24] or -I [18:24] Then How much i install unrealircd because when i look on youtube they have somehting like promp and they install with that [18:24] k [18:24] Must* [18:24] PRabyte, dpkg-dev is installed also ? [18:24] PRabyte: apt-file list package-name; would be like dpkg -L, apt-cache show package_name; is like dpkg -I [18:24] well thanks i will go on [18:25] thanks trism, bobweaver [18:25] that helps [18:25] dpkg -I what is the option? i or l [18:25] l lol [18:25] gordonjcp [18:25] silly me [18:26] Nilkanth: hm? [18:26] PRabyte, use help dpkg --help [18:26] yah i know [18:26] thanks [18:26] gordonjcp look this v [18:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj86yMdiBA4 [18:27] or man dpkg then press / the n enter search term and press enter [18:27] ciao :-)| [18:27] And you wil see it it somethig like /... [18:27] after a package is install i have no prob, its before its installed [18:27] Nilkanth: why? [18:27] also, i clear my apt-cache often lol... [18:28] Nilkanth: I'm not trying to set up an IRC server, and I don't find video "tutorials" in any way useful [18:28] gordonjcp it has something i want to know what is ? [18:28] PRabyte, make a crontab script that does that for you [18:28] That is from Ubuntu [18:28] looks like Ubuntu === Emmanuel_Chanel_ is now known as Emmanuel_Chanel [18:28] raid5 question.. got me an old scisi raid controller, drive has failed and I'm simply trying to get it to rebuild. I have "raid" column with the option "rebuild" .. assuming the card and other drivers are working fine don't I simply select this rebuild option? Could this rebuild option simply remove all the data and rebuild a blank volume? [18:28] Nilkanth: I can't understand what the guy is saying, sorry [18:29] rsser, here you go :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5aT_Uu-2rQ [18:29] oki [18:30] good ol paul vixie [18:30] Nilkanth: sorry, I just can't make him out at all, I'm not very good with accents [18:30] bobweaver: chking for dpkg-dev [18:30] quick question: if I CD to a directory, how do I delete multiple files by content, instead of file name? [18:30] yep, installed, just chking [18:30] duplicate* [18:30] Nilkanth: he's speaking English so maybe someone with better English can try it [18:31] AresTheLion: fudpes [18:31] AresTheLion: fdupes [18:31] jrib, fdupes in terminal? thank you [18:31] my update manager froze when trying to download and install a flash update, i can't remove the package via software centre because it has the job as 'applying changes' but is not doing anything! anyone got any advice? [18:31] what im looking for is the info that is stated when you say goto to Ubuntu Software Center and there is usually an info or paragraph about the program before installing, that is what im looking for in cmdline, i guess i could go to the dir and file to grep it... [18:31] thank you, bobweaver [18:31] I'll see here right [18:31] but i know i have used the cmd im talking about before with not having prog installed [18:32] ill find it, thanks guys [18:33] ubuntu kernel = vanilla kernel + patches? what are those patches? what is changed? [18:33] !kernel | smellysally [18:33] smellysally: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [18:33] smellysally: there's a link to the git repository in those pages [18:33] jrib: k, thanks [18:35] god i am so mad, after updating firefox I lost flash,and i am unable to get it work again [18:35] who can help please!!!wich is the most stable kernel for oneiric to upgrade?is 3.3 any good? === matt_ is now known as Guest79177 [18:36] lmn1vg6: the default kernel in the repos is the only supported one here [18:36] lmn1vg6, ^ [18:36] Also, I got fdupes working to detect the files, but I couldnt find the command to delete them [18:37] -d? [18:37] ok, i found it,,, thanks, its apt-cache show prognamehere [18:37] thanks, talk later [18:37] ok then how can i install the default beta alpha release or beta? [18:37] lmn1vg6: what? [18:37] lmn1vg6, of the kernal? you have to enable apt-get to retrieve pre-releases [18:37] anyone able to getiphone/ipod to syncronize? [18:38] i ma using 3.0.0-26-generic is there any way to upgrade to anewr alpha version ? [18:38] i mean newer [18:39] ah pre-releases interesting AresTheLion and how i managed to do it? [18:41] is there a apt-get changelog command for packages installed via ppa? [18:43] crazydip, to look at the debian/changelog file ? [18:43] bobweaver: yes from the terminal if possible -- so i don't have to hunt it down on the launchpad website [18:44] crazydip, there is dpkg-source and dpkg-gen something cant not rember of top of my head .... googleing [18:44] Hey all - anybody else using the i915 with Ubuntu 12.04? [18:45] I'm noticing a really dramatic memory leak and I suspect it's in the i915 module. [18:45] Wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar [18:45] crazydip, http://www.tin.org/bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=dpkg-gencontrol [18:46] brb - trying a reboot with the oldest kernel I can find. [18:46] crazydip, there is also dch but you would need source package and at that poiint could just read debian/changelog [18:47] !info dch | crazydip [18:47] crazydip: Package dch does not exist in precise [18:47] :D === qos is now known as qos|away [18:47] * bobweaver pulls his hair out [18:47] dch does exist :) [18:48] the firefox on ubuntu does not recognize a .torrent file, it tries to open the "unknown content" with vlc player...i have transmission installed...whats wrong? [18:48] bobweaver: its in devscripts iirc. [18:48] !info packaging-dev | crazydip [18:48] crazydip: packaging-dev (source: packaging-dev): convenient tools to develop packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 26 kB [18:48] Hi. Is it possible to setup a 64-bit chroot in a 32-bit environment? [18:48] thanks Pici [18:48] bobweaver: aye, thanks already familiar with those :) [18:48] bobweaver, when I typed: sudo apt-cache search text.plymouth is returned nothing [18:49] How do I limit the things dash shows me when typing. I'm usually a command line guy and *never* want to be prompted for files. Seems wasteful of resources too. [18:49] oops, I got it [18:49] don't need type 'text.' preffix [18:50] can someone help....!how can i see a list of bugs that have benn fixed in a linux kernel? [18:51] you could try reading the git lot [18:51] log* [18:51] lmn1vg6: going back how far? [18:51] lmn1vg6: that's probably a *lot* of reading... [18:51] and were i can find gid log [18:51] or, you could go to http://kernel.org/ and click on the buttons that say "Changelog", there's a though [18:51] MarcN: super+a = applications only, super+f = files only, i don't know if you can set what is shown on the default screen via plain super [18:52] i just need to be sure sure when doing something you know [18:52] ... back. I downgraded to 3.2.0.23 and the leak is still there :\ [18:52] lmn1vg6: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=shortlog [18:52] FUcking [18:52] It won't work [18:52] thanx calrogman illl check it out man [18:52] I can't boot into a CD [18:53] Anyone have any ideas? [18:53] crazydip, thanks. That is handy to know. Been using the mouse, but keyboard is better. [18:53] GPT or MBR for a 3TB disk? [18:54] sry but can any1 give me the android channel? [18:54] Eagleman: I've heard that anything 2TB+ wants MBR [18:54] #android [18:54] MarcN: press and hold super key for shortcuts menu [18:54] Eagleman: I don't have any sources I can cite for that though - I just remember hearing that in passing [18:54] for some reason /etc/ is locking up after x hours of working.. [18:54] what's a good console-based audio mixer? [18:54] ShinyObjects isnt MBR old? [18:55] crazydip, again thanks. I've been avoiding unity by using cinnamon, but that goes wonky from time to time. [18:55] nce a remote prospect, an important barrier in disk storage has become a reality: the venerable master boot record (MBR) partitioning scheme can't fully handle disks larger than 2.2TB (2TiB). With disks as large as 3TB readily available and with much larger RAID arrays common, alternatives to the MBR partitioning scheme have become important to understand. The heir apparent is the GUID Partition [18:55] Table (GPT). [18:55] lattera: alsamixer [18:55] Hmm i think it is GPT [18:56] gordonjcp: perfect, thanks :) [18:57] crazydip, I have 2 monitors and there is the unity taskbar on the left of the left most monitor *and* a taskbar on the left of the right most monitor. Right in the middle. Anyway to turn that middle on off? [18:57] Qasaur: bad cd or your boot order is incorrect are my ideas [18:57] chunckf: I didn't change my bootorder at all, it worked before [18:57] MarcN: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107583/remove-duplicate-second-unity-launcher-on-dual-screen [18:57] chuckf: Tried 2 different CDs, both didn't work [18:58] ballz [18:58] Qasaur: then boot order is my other guess [18:58] Qasaur: and that's assuming you have 2 good CDs [18:58] MarcN: Looks like you can select it under the system settings. [18:58] MarcN: yes there is - i have a similar setup although i like to have the bar on both monitors but they are hidden until i press over the edge [18:58] Eagleman: yes, it is :\ [18:58] chuckf: I did do a proper build order [18:58] chuckf: I'll try another CD hold on [18:59] Qasaur: build order for what? [18:59] chuckf: Derp boot order [18:59] Qasaur: did you confirm the checksum on the disks? [19:00] chuckf: Hold on I'll try another disk [19:00] DaemonicApathy, looks like gconf hacking for me. Tried the GUI and now the only taskbar is the one in the middle! ha! [19:01] MarcN: You tried the Displays option, under the System Settings? [19:02] You should just be able to select the other monitor. [19:02] discografia band karate [19:03] DaemonicApathy, yup. Using nvidia and twinview and GUI looks like it should do the right thing but doesn't. [19:03] dove posso trovarla [19:03] jaka: No sé. Trate de google, no aqui. [19:04] MarcN, when you say limit you mean just the home lens ? [19:04] non cè un canale per download [19:05] bobweaver, whatever lens dash uses by default when I click on the ubuntu logo. Using super-a is a work around. Don't need to see all the DSCxxxx.JPG filenames. ever. [19:05] MarcN: Ah well, I tried. There are worse things than gconf editing. :-) [19:07] MarcN, there is a tool called gconf-editor and you can use that to tell what to load 1st in the home lens. you can also r-write unity to tell it to load the applications lens only and not the home lens let me dig up screen shot of gconf home lens ordering. though this is not going to stop the lens that you do not want it will only alter the ordering [19:08] DaemonicApathy, I've lived with worse GUIs for a long time. [19:08] s|gconf-editor| dconf-editor [19:09] bobweaver, there is no management gui for lens configuration? [19:09] guten abend zusammen. spricht man hier deutsch oder englisch?

[19:09] davin: englisch [19:09] hi davin! the german group is on #ubuntu-de [19:09] thx ;) [19:10] auf vedersein [19:10] MarcN, there is not but take a look at this screen shot http://imagebin.org/231537 === andrea is now known as Guest86338 [19:10] MarcN, what do you mean by configuration ? [19:11] MarcN, are you using 2d or Unity 3d ? [19:11] has anyone used Ubuntu as a non-NAT router? [19:11] meganerd: I've used it as a router many times [19:11] ikonia: OK, to be clear, we are talking about vanilla IP routing, not NATR [19:11] bobweaver, 3d. Never displaying files/folders, just apps only. [19:11] ikonia: erm not NAT that should say [19:12] meganerd: yes [19:12] yes, IP routing [19:12] Hey Ubuntu, I need to format and change the file system of the HDD that my version of Ubuntu boots from, I can only assume the best way to do this would be by going to the Root screen, but I don't know the right commands to enter, could someone help? [19:12] MarcN, you could just remove the other lens that you do not want ? [19:12] Domincii: you can't === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspaceloafk [19:12] ikonia: just checking, even google does not seem to accept that [19:12] Domincii: you need to copy off the data - change the file system, put the data back [19:12] how would I do that? [19:13] meganerd: it's just iptables, nothing more [19:13] Domincii: exactly that, get another disk to store your data, copy it of, format the file system with something new, put the data back [19:13] ikonia: no iptables should be required [19:13] meganerd: yes, it should, [19:13] ikonia: beyond adding 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward, I just need routes back to my network, correct? [19:14] meganerd: you need to use iptables [19:14] ikonia: I am connecting two lan segments, I do not see why iptables is needed (it will be used to lock down the link, but I do not see how it is required for basic routing) [19:15] meganerd: no problem then [19:15] meganerd: you can create a bridge interface for just bridging the two lans [19:15] MarcN, what is output of sudo find / -name 'Dash.cpp' [19:15] but that's not routing, that's bridging [19:15] ikonia: I am not bridging [19:16] meganerd: so what are you doing, you're not routing, your not bridging ? [19:16] ikonia: I am routing [19:17] ikonia: I figured it out, I forgot to add a route back to LAN B. [19:17] ikonia: basically I have two networks, lets say 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.1.0/24, I want to route between them but not bridge them [19:18] ikonia: I forgot to add a route on network A back to Network B. No iptables required, I just forgot the second half. Thanks for the assist. [19:19] didn't assist === alexander is now known as Guest29472 [19:19] you got there on your own [19:19] ikonia: your questions helped me spot the error [19:20] any special things to consider when choosing a graphics card for a linux/ubuntu box? does nvidia vs amd matter? [19:20] ikonia: questions are usually more useful than answers :) [19:20] no problem then [19:20] ikonia I have an SSD, which Ubuntu is technically installed on, and a HDD, which someone on here moved my /home drive to, it's now the default storage device and is mounted to /home or something [19:20] Domincii: what do you actually want to do ? [19:20] smellysally: ime, NVidia has fewer issues. [19:20] forget nvidia [19:21] Domincii: as what you've just said is nothing to do with putting a new OS on a disk [19:21] which is what you actually asked for [19:21] has no drivers [19:21] smellysally, look at cards that are not proprietary. If there are any out there [19:23] whats the diffrrence between debian and ubuntu? [19:24] ikonia, I want to install Windows, I have it on a USB, when I get to the install point I get an error message saying that the file system needs to be ntfs, all my drives are Fat32 to my knowledge, I need to format the drives, but I don't want to accidentally format them into the same file type and end up with two blank disks that I can't do anything with because they're in the wrong filesystem still === sonnyjz__ is now known as sonnyjz [19:25] bacon4435, that is a loaded question. can you give more details ? [19:25] Domincii: that is nothing to do with ubuntu [19:25] Domincii: the windows installer can/will format them [19:25] Domincii: the guys in ##windows channel will tell you how [19:26] bacon: I'm sure you can google that question [19:26] smellysally: Are you sure you need a graphics card? I find the integrated graphics on intel cpus good enough for all my needs, but having said that I am not into gaming. Also intel's drivers are not closed source like Nvidia. [19:26] Ubuntu is based out of debian [19:26] bacon4435: a very broad answer: Ubuntu is based on Debian. Debian focuses on stability, while Ubuntu focuses on ease of use. They use many of the same packages. [19:26] ikonia, thank you [19:26] bacon4435 there are many sites about it, here's one http://www.datamation.com/osrc/article.php/3890111/Debian-vs-Ubuntu-Contrasting-Philosophies.htm [19:27] Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial or howto type document for creating/destroying virtual network interfaces (bridged with the physical network such that the host can have multiple IP addresses) [19:27] rumble: using intel integrated right now, but I don't get screen tearing under control. that's why I want to try a dedicated one. [19:28] Ninja Please! [19:30] hi, i'm trying to get skype video working on my hp dv9000. the webcam turns on in the skype video settings menu, but not in actual calls. any ideas? [19:31] hi should I make swap as a primary or logical partion ? [19:31] Logical. [19:32] приветы [19:33] smellysally: Fair enough. Some people like Nvidia because it offers excellent performance including VDPAU. However, to get the most out of it you need to install a binary blob of secret code which some users do not like to do. There is an open source driver called "nouveau" but it's performance is vastly inferior to the proprietary driver from Nvidia unfortunately. [19:33] !ru | saran [19:33] saran: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [19:34] about IRQ numbers ... can i move some of them from one IRQ to another? [19:35] rumble, I beg to differ about nouveau , it's actually quite good and it's performance is very close to the nvidia-current driver ..I couldn't see much difference with my 8400GS [19:36] yo to all [19:36] <_Marcus> Is there any easy way to upgrade an installed Ubuntu system to a 64-bit Ubuntu? Besides reinstalling Ubuntu of course [19:36] rumble, I have to qualify that, my comparison is on KDE , not gnome or unity [19:37] _Marcus: keywords you said: "easy" "upgrade" "to 64-bit" and the answer is no. you must reinstall. [19:37] _Marcus, you get what you start with, as far as that goes. [19:37] What is port range triggering? [19:37] <_Marcus> :( [19:37] port range triggering is the same as port forwarding, only you set a range of ports. [19:37] Whats wrong with reinstalling? [19:37] I'm on ubuntu 12.04, I've installed plymouth. But when I reboot the system I can't see the splash, because it so fast. How to fix that? [19:38] Is it possible to program a script to tell a router to forward a specific port/socket [19:38] rsser: get a slower computer? :P (btw, i don't know) [19:38] I was reading on this website ==> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html => but the info is TOO OLD [19:38] there is such a thing as UPnP Port Forwarding [19:38] rsser you mean something like adding a sleep to the boot sequence? [19:38] crazydip, look that [19:38] CPU Info: (8 CPU's - Intel Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @, 3.41 GHz, (20% Load)) [19:39] yeah, StefanT [19:39] I guess [19:39] really? Nah, can´t believe that [19:39] its possible to change the /proc/interupts ? i want something on an different number [19:39] kelli do you mind if I ask you some questions reguarding this topic? [19:40] how does sleep work, StefanT? [19:40] I didn't get it [19:40] rsser: fyi "20% load" doesn't make any sense. load is NOT a % [19:40] if your not too busy [19:40] zykotick9, it is refering about cpu usage [19:40] gridwest: go ahead [19:40] BluesKay: Don't get me wrong - I think nouveau is a good and important project and they are working under very difficult circumstances having to reverse engineer everything, but from my experience and from benchmarks on the Phoronix site I believe there is a sizeable gap in performance. Having said that I haven't used Nvidia for a couple of years so perhaps nouveau has improved a lot. [19:41] rsser: "i" know what load is, you're a bit confused on the subject. [19:41] I'm using VM, so it is at 20%. If i'm not using VM, it would be 7% or 5% [19:42] rsser: then don't call it "load" :) load is NOT a % measurement [19:42] but I haven't written this script, zykotick9 [19:42] rumble, yes , nouveau has improved a lot . I was actually quite pleasantly surprised with it's performance on KDE , altho i don't how well it does with compiz in unity === giovanni is now known as Guest7414 [19:44] BluesKay: That is great to hear. Linus Torvalds has said that Nvidia are the worst company to deal with so if we reach a stage where Linux users are no longer reliant upon their closed source drivers that is terrific. [19:44] who wrote this script was anhilator, talk to him [19:46] rumble: BluesKaj: Linus Torvalds said: FU!"#$!" NVIDIA!! .. (that was nice!!) [19:46] rumble, well I have to admit that I'm running the nvidia-current driver atm , altho it's nice to know nouveau can be decent fallback [19:46] zm [19:47] gatuus, ?? [19:48] BluesKaj: Linus Torvalds said: F..k you NVIDIA [19:48] oh [19:48] BluesKaj: It's in you-tube [19:49] gatuus, well seems to me nvidia got the message , perhaps he should go after ati as well [19:49] BluesKaj: Right... ATI Drivers on OpenSuSE are really difficult.. (in most linux distros too) [19:51] BluesKaj: gatuus: smellysally: Is the tearing that smellysally refers to down to the integrated graphics though I wonder? Is it perhaps something to do with Xorg? I thought Ubuntu wanted to moved from XOrg to Wayland partly because of stuff like tearing with XOrg? [19:52] gatuus, yeah the fglrx driver on 12.04 is giving a lot of ppl grief and there doesn't seem to be a working alternative atm [19:52] gatuus, BluesKaj : Why Linus is awesome - Linus owns NVIDIA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19jUboon5gI [19:52] Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial or howto type document for creating/destroying virtual network interfaces (bridged with the physical network such that the host can have multiple IP addresses) [19:53] hilo: vlans? openstack? [19:54] rumble, seems wayland is being worked on , but isn't even ready for a devel/user testing phase yet [19:55] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates will this install the nvidia proprietary drivers [19:56] rumble: that tearing seems to be an issue specific to HD 3000 (sandy bridge integrated). found a thread talking about a driver bug some time ago. can't find the link right now, though. === atrius is now known as atrius_away [19:57] BluesKaj: I realise Wayland is a long way off being a viable option, but the point I was making is that the tearing might not because smellysally's integrated graphics needed beefing up - the tearing could be down to XOrg. According to following article XOrg can be cause of tearing: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/unity-to-embrace-wayland-display-server [19:58] have to go. thanks for the advice. bye === atrius_away is now known as atrius [19:59] Hi I have a question I installed Ubuntu but I didn't do any updates I am not sure if I should get the proprietary driver first and then update the system ?

I have a SandyBridge cpu which I got not long after release and I had problems but now with newer kernel works great! [20:00] I made a playlist on Rythmbox music player, but I can't sort that one.. (Like clicking title, will sort it by title, genre by genre etc.) [20:00] AresTheLion: ok will this get the proprietary driver sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ?

[20:08] I'm running the program through wine, could that be why? [20:08] Ramtron, then check wineHQ db [20:08] It's minecraft. and running through wine [20:08] I've checked everywhere, so now I'm here [20:09] there are tons of blogs about minecraft .. buy the installer from softwarecentre :-D [20:09] Hello, I have the following problem: Pushing the Mail hotkey tries to run thunderbird which is not installed, should run evolution. Any suggestions? [20:10] Ramtron: Most things will work with openJDK, but some things require sun java (oracle now). This is not avail in repo. You will have to install from oracle site [20:10] I'm good. I just wanna know why I get a Java Runtime error [20:10] So, install sun java? [20:10] @Ramtron - What about if you use an virtuel box with windows.iso to play mincraft or other games? [20:11] I've only tried Wine [20:11] Ramtron: I would uninstall OpenJDK first, and yes... try oracle java. I am not a minecraft guy, but that would be my first guess... however I am not telling you to do it. [20:12] There is juju for minecraft ? [20:12] Is it possible there's a problem with Wine, instead of me not having Java? [20:12] or charm I should say === andrea is now known as Guest60976 [20:12] Ramtron: If it is running in wine, it is unlikely to be using the system-installed OpenJDK [20:12] That's what I figured, so how would I install a Java for wine? [20:14] yeah there is juju charm [20:14] ? [20:14] for minecraft that is [20:14] What's that [20:14] to the discussion currently running: I am also no minecraft guy, but my experience showed the sun-java6 really makes no difficulties in contrast to any other Java interpreters. this is also true for developing Java applications as well as firefox java plugin. [20:15] Ramtron, juju is used for cloud and is super easy to use [20:15] http://marcoceppi.com/2011/11/deploying-the-minecraft-charm/ [20:15] Are there any Ubuntu 12.04 packages that will allow UPnP automatic port forwarding configuration?

I installed a LAMP server today on a fresh Ubuntu Precise and my desktop got a little whacky. The top bar wont go white on Radiance Theme and the font looks thinner. How could I fix this? [21:02] ISTguy15: well everything anybody tells you to do, you've got some objection to! [21:02] ISTguy15 no, you're learning new things and you think it's crap [21:02] crazydip, should I try what valnour said? [21:02] Should I maybe try gnome on GimpNet? :\ [21:02] ISTguy15: you never used pastebinit, you just started arguing about stuff you don't understand. That makes you a troll [21:02] i uploaded the thing to ubuntu pastebin and typed the url already [21:03] so im done here cuz again no one has yet helped me [21:03] bye [21:03] valnour: no, that just makes him annoying, not necessarily a troll ;-) [21:03] ISTguy15: lots of people are attempting to help you [21:03] What's your problem, ISTguy15 ? [21:03] ISTguy15: you're just not listening, and constantly moaning [21:03] yes and i did wat u said [21:03] dbugger: how did you install LAMP? what did you install exactly? is this xampp? [21:03] i posted it on pastebin [21:03] like 5 min ago [21:03] ISTguy15: where's the link? [21:03] try to help someone and they get upset... [21:03] dbugger: I don't think that LAMP has anything to do with that, did you change anything else? [21:04] zykes-, I did apt-get install lamp-server^ [21:04] dariushall21: first do: "sudo apt-get autoremove" then "sudo apt-get autoclean" then "sudo apt-get -s upgrade" and show the output of that [21:04] Hi.

[21:04] i already pasted it but i guess i have to go get it again [21:04] dariushall21: btw the -s flag in apt-get is for simulate which means it will run a simulation [21:04] ISTguy15 type or paste it here in the channel [21:05] ziggyzero: the /etc/hostname file - alter it to whatever name you want. [21:05] dariushall21: any luck? [21:05] valnour, no. I did it once this morning and my whole OS crashed. I had to install it again. I did it a second time, and now my Desktop looks weird as I explained [21:05] nm my bro is home he is fixing it [21:05] rumble: That's it, really? Thanks....

[21:07] I cannot seem to get the update to work [21:07] keeps providing an error message [21:07] he somehow changed the xauthority file and made the ownership root [21:08] mrlane, update to ?

[21:09] so i thought i help out [21:09] Hey all, I have a question regarding Gnome-Shell… where are the "Favorites" apps stored (the app icons listed on the left when you click "Activities")? Is there a config file that stores those somewhere? I want to programmatically add apps to the Favorites. [21:09] crazydip, alright running now. [21:10] hey! so I'm having an issue with the AMD proprietary driver. Using catalyst, I can set my dual displays at different resolutions and extend my desktop to both displays. it works great. Until I restart. Is there some way I can.. "lock" the settings? so it doesn't change back to mirrored? [21:10] Actually it says "VESA:SUMO" for my driver hehe. Why no fglrx and no DRI? :( [21:10] dariushall21: why do you have so many packages to upgrade? is this a fresh install of 12.04 or something? [21:10] Gnome-shell is soooo slow haha [21:10] BluesKaj, I have not been download new apps or update existing apps for some time [21:10] this coincided with an upgrade with Ubuntu [21:11] to give myself full read write options of a folder, standing in it, and doing chmod -rw. will that do the trick ? [21:11] crazydip, I installed it and let it sit, I've never had the need to use it until today. It's the dev side of my school computer. I'm studying computer science, and I find Ubuntu a LOT easier for Java. [21:11] Plumblum: no [21:11] mrlane, open a terminal , sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [21:11] ISTguy15 how can you give support here if you dont know the difference between html file and a GUI ? :D [21:11] crazydip, failed again.

[21:13] crazydip, here's a paste of where it started failing http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272048/ [21:13] why was fedora slower than windows 7 at my pc? [21:13] can anyone help me, or refer me to somewhere I can get help? [21:13] fedora was 64 bit, windows was 32 bit. [21:13] crazydip, yes at 70% again.

[21:15] acyo: If Fedora was too slow, then perhaps try a more lightweight Linux. For example, one using the xfce desktop environment. [21:15] what did he say [21:15] ISTguy15 good job , you finally figured it out [21:15] ??? [21:15] anyone? [21:15] ISTguy15: read the back log - and lets keep to ubuntu support here [21:15] dariushall21: try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [21:16] hey Jarry started it haha ok [21:16] crazydip, then what? [21:16] ISTguy15: don't continue then [21:16] dariushall21: what did you get? [21:16] is it possible to make ssh assume a certain username when connecting to a certain server [21:16] Does anyone know where the "Favorites" apps config are stored in Gnome-shell? [21:16] can nobody see my messages or something? [21:17] crazydip, nothing it just did the command and is waiting for another. [21:17] i have installed ubuntu in an encrypted LVM, then i installed windows and i lost grub, so now i have booted with a LiveCD, have opened the encrypted container and mounted the LVM root partition, i have chrooted into it, mounted proc,sys and dev, but when i run "grub-mkinstall /dev/sda" i get this error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: erro: failed to get canonical path of /dev/mapper/ubu-root. Can anyone tell me whats failing? [21:17] !patience | flux_ [21:17] flux_: 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/ [21:17] dariushall21: ok that means nothing to do :) [21:17] :ezio try ssh username@servername [21:17] thank you. at least I know my messages are being sent :P [21:17] crazydip, but what should I do after that, run upgrade again? [21:17] mrlane, sudo apt-get -f install , then run sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:17] dariushall21: nah it will fail just like before [21:18] I deleted my 'Desktop' folder without thinking about it too much, but now the entire contents of $HOME is displayed on my desktop. I tried creating a new folder called "Desktop," but it continues the show the contents of the home folder. I don't like it. [21:18] rumble, that's what i don't want to have to do each time [21:18] Plumblum: if the output is more than one line please use a !pastebin to show it to us [21:18] guntbert, it isnt i pasted you the singel line :) [21:19] crazydip, so now what is there to do? I'm lost. I need to install Eclipse unfortuneatley. [21:19] dariushall21: ok well do this except for the file compiz-plugins-main-default : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10010092&postcount=7 [21:19] :ezio well how about setting up an alias in your .bashrc file eg. alias ssh = "ssh username@servername" [21:19] guntbert, here you go again :P : drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data 4096 Oct 10 18:43 [21:19] Plumblum: I overlooked it :) [21:19] np [21:19] rumble, yeah that'll work [21:20] so how do i add myself to that same line :P [21:20] how can i create new icons [21:20] in the unity menu [21:20] and [21:20] the same permissions as the apache name is fine [21:20] dariushall21: whatever you do don't reboot or start any extra programs because you won't have a working unity / compiz until you reinstall that package === hasp is now known as hspencer[afk] [21:20] dariushall21: also make sure after all this to do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:20] how can i see the result of current icons ... like how do i find out what program the terminal is linking to [21:21] BluesKaj, here is the error I received: Errors were encountered while processing: [21:21] unity [21:21] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [21:21] Plumblum: what are you trying to accomplish? the restrictive settings are there for a good reason [21:21] hi after moving my hd to another PC i got wlan1 and eth1 instead of wlan0 and eth0. I then edited /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules deleted previous eth0 wlan0 entries and renamed the later ones. Now ubuntu gets stuck during boot "waiting for network configuration". It eventually times out but i have to restart the network-manager to get connectivity again. Does someone know how can I fix this? thanks [21:21] Weird. Dmesg so far is showing that fglrx is loading fine.. [21:21] guntbert, as it is now im not allowed to paste files to my webserver. as my regular user ^^ and that is kinda a problem [21:21] one more try.. I've installed the AMD proprietary driver, and set up two displays at different resolutions, and extended the desktop over both. It works great, but after a reboot, it reverts to mirrored, and the previous default resolution - can anyone help, or direct me to somewhere/one who can? [21:22] Yet gnome-shell's showing VESA:SUMO and it's clearly not being offloaded to the gpu :\ === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [21:22] crazydip, in the file the person is talking about, I delete compiz because that's whats throwing the error? [21:22] dariushall21: close... the package compiz-plugins-main-default [21:23] I think i found the problem... reboot again.. [21:23] Plumblum: the usual way (for just one user) is to prepare them somewhere beneath your homedirectory and then type sudo cp * /var/www [21:23] crazydip, that's what I meant, I just didn't remember the EXACT name of the package. [21:23] dariushall21: ok because the package compiz also exists :D [21:23] is there another way to restart server from cli? [21:24] mrlane, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:24] !restart [21:24] anyone/? [21:24] DarkStar1: why "another"? what did you try? [21:24] DarkStar1: shutdown -r now [21:24] crazydip, since it's read only, how do I save it? [21:24] shutdown -r now [21:24] DarkStar1: init 6 [21:25] Takes way too long to go down [21:25] dariushall21: what's read only? [21:25] guntbert, yes im aware that i can copy them from my user dir to the webserver dir, but since im doing the transfer from my other computer it seems that i could save myself a few steps by just adding the permission. also if will save me time in the future :P and im aware of the risks. [21:25] dariushall21: ahh you mean status file? [21:25] and server doesn't have much running on it [21:25] crazydip, the Status file. I can't edit it becuause it's in the dpkg file. [21:25] DarkStar1: it may take a long time [21:25] dariushall21: use sudo [21:25] rumble: Thanks. /etc/hostname worked a treat. [21:26] dariushall21: you'll probably have to use sudo to copy it over too [21:26] hi [21:26] dariushall21: copy over i meant copy the file (not move it) [21:26] if anyone picks this up i solved the problem deleting manual configuration in interfaces file [21:26] crazydip, how would I sudo edit? I don't know a lot of commands yet. [21:26] DarkStar1: there is also "reboot" [21:26] Ok [21:26] it finally went down [21:26] ziggyzero: don't mention it. Glad it helped. [21:26] crazydip, I have a copy of the file on my desktop I can edit that, but then I'd have to move it, which you can't normally do. [21:27] Plumblum: well, you need two things: 1) sudo chmod g+w /var/www 2) sudo adduser www-data, after logging out and back in you should be able to write files there, without compromising security too much [21:27] dariushall21: ok make it easier do this: gksudo nautilus [21:28] dariushall21: that will open up nautilus as root [21:29] guntbert, what i dont get is how you can mix groups ? with permissions [21:29] g+w i mean [21:29] ? [21:29] hello.. I have 10.04.. I want to do a manual TRIM. how do I install fstrim, or am I supposed to use wiper.sh instead? [21:29] dariushall21: if you do what crazydip suggested make sure you don't forget to close the nautilus session as soon as possible [21:29] does anyone know from personal experience if preload is worth it? [21:30] Plumblum: any directory belongs to a user and to a group, the 2nd command added your user to the group owning /var/www [21:30] crazydip, I deleted the package from the list, saved it, and closed the file sesion. [21:30] dariushall21: also don't copy over that system file, edit it instead you can use gksudo gedit -- if you copy over it, make sure to set permissions the way they were before [21:30] Plumblum: 1) gave the write permission to the group [21:30] crazydip, I just copied it as a backup like it was sugested in the forum post [21:31] dariushall21: ok [21:31] !permissions | Plumblum [21:31] Plumblum: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:31] crazydip, now what commands do I run? [21:31] guntbert, im pretty sure that www-data had read/write for /var/www the problem was that i didnt xD [21:31] guntbert, but im sure you are right so im gonna try it out [21:32] crazydip, the dpkg configure? === fgc_ is now known as fgc [21:32] Plumblum: no, the *user* www-data had it, the *group* www-data did not [21:32] dariushall21: follow the instructions in the post [21:32] guntbert, ohhh now i get it [21:32] Plumblum: :) === atrius is now known as atrius_away [21:32] dariushall21: oh except there is a type... #7 is: dpkg --configure -a [21:33] dariushall21: it's only one dpkg not two === atrius_away is now known as atrius [21:34] After each reboot, I have to correct my /etc/resolv.conf, because it adds incorrect DNS server from somewhere. Where do I have to change to make it permanent? Would be very nice to know! [21:35] dariushall21: did you by any chance add any extra repositories to that system? [21:35] crazydip, okay that all went through and worked, should I now do what it says and manually re-install the package [21:35] dariushall21: yes, and then also install ubuntu-desktop [21:35] crazydip, I haven't done anything with this computer, I installed ubuntu and let it sit until now. [21:36] BluesKaj, still getting error message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [21:36] unity : Depends: libunity-core-5.0-5 (= 5.12-0ubuntu1.1) but 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 is installed [21:36] Depends: unity-common (= 5.12-0ubuntu1.1) but 5.16.0-0ubuntu1 is installed [21:36] E: Unmet dependencies.

But my problem is that there is one *bad* name server in the list after the reboot. I guess the guy who installed the server put a wrong IP there. But I don't know where I can change it. It's not in the head file. [21:41] BluesKaj: ahh, but it's in the base file! cool [21:41] here | ubuntufangirl [21:41] crazydip, I deleted it from the status' file as the forum post stated, ran the repair command, that went, ran the install command, and that is what happened.

I've downloaded ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso several times now and can't seem to get the MD5 Hash tags to match. What am I doing wrong? [21:42] i have got bsnl broadband i cannot load some websites in ubuntu while in windows 7 all works good [21:43] crazydip, yes after the compiz thing, and it says that is the latest version.

I tried direct download and torrent. === puff` is now known as puff [21:47] hey, so i have a weird one here [21:48] Silight, you might need to abuse starbucks for awhile if your home-internet is bad..or has poor routing. [21:48] i use several sshfs mounts on my desktop, in fstab [21:48] every once in a while one of them will hang, and cause that mount point to not work [21:48] the weird part is that when they do, keyboard shortcuts/special keys do not work [21:48] yekoms, That seems to be the consensus. Guess I'll walk over there. [21:49] like, i cant use the volume control keys while sshfs is hung [21:49] Thanks guys, as always your wonderful [21:49] never hurts to try, whats the worse that can happen?

[22:42] tete: the "launcher"? [22:42] crazydip: yes, (xfce4) in this case [22:42] So while I was learning which Ubuntu uses by default (lightdm) and how to switch back to it, I decided it'd be a neat idea to have a bunch of different DEs installed heehee!

[22:51] I remember when my years-behind teachers were all like "WikiPedia is bad, you can't use it as a citation source!" and now they're always recommending people to use WikiPedia and they will even accept it as a cite... Argh! [22:51] hummm [22:51] crazydip: crazydip, all your querys gave me the same ouput. the panel not good. i tried arandar but is the same, can set the primary to be on the right :/ !

[23:30] lightdm > [23:30] you have given me no reasons bobweaver [23:30] DaemonicApathy: http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/change-the-ubuntu-12-04-login-screen-using-ubuntu-tweak/ CHECK THE COMMENTS [23:31] no unity-greater no gconf settings no ubuntu tweek maybe there is nothing installed ? [23:31] DaemonicApathy: Does not work with Ubuntu 12.04 [23:32] Bert__, let me guess there is no /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf [23:32] hi, how could i disable my alienware m11x dedicated video card [23:32] NO bobweaver [23:32] no dbus either ? === MediaDoneRight is now known as mikestewart [23:33] my alienware m11x is overheating on ubuntu 12.04 because of the dedicated video card [23:33] Seems I accidentally skipped right over Simple LightDM Manager. Have you tried it, Bert__? [23:33] what kind of regular expressions can i use in grep? [23:33] like \d doesn't seem to match a digit [23:34] and it seems like * is working but not + [23:34] how do i install simple lightdm manager? [23:34] i could not even install that because i could not even find it [23:34] moment, you can call reex in grep [23:34] man grep [23:35] moment, cat foo | grep --basic-regexp [23:36] Q: I was messing with compiz on 12.04 now I had to boot and I only see the background. Is there a way to fix this ? :X tks [23:36] then why doesn't echo hi33 | grep --basic-regexp -e "\d" match anything? [23:37] moment, try #bash "" [23:37] shwaiil, did you disable Unity? [23:37] moment, the channel that is [23:37] alright thanks [23:37] look at the "" [23:37] there is none [23:38] DaemonicApathy: hey :D lol I don't know.. I think there was like a reset to "profile" I tested to unity and I think I also tested "default" [23:38] and bammmm! [23:38] for the string that you are mixing ints with moment [23:38] I only have the background... so... not even terminal [23:39] Only having the background is usually a sign that the Desktop Manager was disabled. Does Ctrl+Alt+T bring up a terminal for you? [23:39] oh yeah [23:39] it did :D [23:39] cool, that's a nice start [23:39] i am connected to a VPN now how to route my traffic to it (ssh mostly)?? [23:39] to ppp0 i think [23:40] You can run "ccsm" without quotes, to fix anything you set incorrectly. [23:40] I'm running ccsm [23:40] let's see if I can change to unity again on the profile :X [23:42] shwaiil, if you're going to play around with compiz, and possibly break things here and there, I would personally suggest you set up a custom keyboard shortcut to open the settings manager. [23:42] DaemonicApathy: yeahh trueeee :I I'm a troll [23:47] Are users able to easily use different window managers on the same ubuntu machine? [23:47] When I login to ubuntu (12.04) there is this Icon in the top right of each user's login box with a dropdown with options like Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D, Cairo Dock with Unity panel, etc. [23:47] restarted, and ctrl alt t doesnt bring terminal anymore :I [23:47] What are these and what do they do? [23:47] Any place I can find some info about each option? [23:48] does anyone know LonTalk? [23:48] i'm asking out of personal opinion and experience --- what would YOU suggest and prefer for encrypting files locally on your linux system .... the main and only goal is the strength of security ... so yeah what do you prefer ? or what have you had bad experience with or would say to stay away from --- and why ? === chalced is now known as chalcedony [23:49] d4rkw0lf: I use TrueCrypt, it's OSS though I use it under Windows, I think it supports *nix too. [23:50] d4rkw0lf: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads [23:50] I use the same TrueCrypt d4rkw0lf - on Ubuntu too [23:51] and you can say it is significantly better than mcrypt -- or its just what you use? [23:52] DaemonicApathy: is there anything else I could do to reset the computer, I dont have terminal no more, only the backgruond :Z [23:53] I have never tried mcrypt. I used TrueCrypt because it is crossplatform (Linux/Win/Mac) and open source ... guess it's just what I use [23:54] d4rkw0lf: It's brilliant, great cryptography and it support crypting a drive/partition and pre-book encryption, etc. Tons of features/support and great quality. [23:54] yeah they can only be as good as they get though .... aslong as you use a good password and salt with a strong encryption ...... [23:55] d4rkw0lf: Look at the features for the two, see which one offers what you need. ;) [23:55] TrueCrypt has been great to me. [23:55] any encryption can be broken .... but if its strong enough the time it will take keeps you safe [23:55] eliteprodigy: those are the differnt desktop 'sessions' each is defined by some whatever.desktop file on the system. they basically kjust run differnt sessions. ;) [23:55] I think i'll go with truecrypt :) [23:56] dr_willis: What do you mean by "Sessions" [23:56] eliteprodigy: they are defined in /usr/share/xsession it seems. [23:56] ive just always used mcrypt cause its there and never like .... done a lot of encryptions on the file system [23:56] eliteprodigy: a desktop set of default apps. [23:57] for example the unity.desktop file runs --> Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu [23:57] if you need a better definition of 'session' i guess its time for a dictionary. :) [23:57] Ah, I see. Kinda. [23:57] Just diffewrnt desktop setups/enviroments [23:57] I've only recently adopted Ubuntu as a workstation. [23:58] each user can use differnt desktops [23:58] Thanks dr_willis
