| lifebird64 | craig: I use rsync over a mounted nfs share. works well for me. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| WhatWhereAmI | lifebird64: i was gonna suggest this as well, or sshd, but these both require a configure server? | 00:00 |
| craigbass1976 | actionParsnip, I don't want to cp again. I did it last time and the wireless went wonky with such a transfer (I seem to have a knack for buying kaka routers) so I just want to get what got missed. | 00:00 |
| craigbass1976 | lifebird64, I was going to sshfs the remote dir; I still need an rsync daemon running though, right? | 00:01 |
| lifebird64 | whatwhereami,craig: pretty much anything copying a file from one host to another will involve /some/ form of 'server' | 00:01 |
| WhatWhereAmI | yeah | 00:01 |
| WhatWhereAmI | lifebird64: you can just use scp | 00:01 |
| lifebird64 | craig: rsync over nfs doesn't require any rsync server; only exporting an nfs share | 00:02 |
| lifebird64 | craig: whareami's suggestion about suing scp is another good alternative. | 00:02 |
| lifebird64 | craig: depends what you're looking for. if you want incremental or 'copy-only-what's-changed' style of syncing... rsync is great. If you just want to copy the entire directory, regardless... scp is perfect. | 00:03 |
| WhatWhereAmI | if you want to do an actual merge, like lifebird64 is saying, you should use rsync. this doesn't mean you need to setup an rsync server, you can just use it on a client accessing an nfs share, or over ssh. | 00:04 |
| lifebird64 | ^^ yeah... what he said. ;) | 00:05 |

| omps | hi WhatWhereAmI, best way to use rsync | 00:05 |
| omps | it takes care of lot of things | 00:05 |
| * lifebird64 wishes his D-Link nas' nfs server was more reliable though. :% | 00:07 | |
| simplew | when i try to in KDE move an icon from place in plasma panel i get an erro message saying that the protocol preferred is inknown, how can this be fixed? | 00:09 |
| actionParsnip | omps: I'd use grsync if you have a desktop OS. There is no single 'best' | 00:09 |
| lifebird64 | action: I use the same. it's pretty good. one feature I'd add... allow multiple source directories in single run. | 00:10 |
| omps | actionParsnip: i never used rsync on desktop OS, so may not have much idea on that. :) | 00:13 |
| lifebird64 | simplew: not saying nobody here has the answer, but since ubuntu comes with gnome-based unity by default, you may want to also try the #kubuntu channel for your KDE question. | 00:14 |
| simplew | lifebird64: nobody answers in #kubuntu | 00:14 |
| lifebird64 | simplew: hmm... not good. #ubuntu it is then! :) | 00:15 |
| simplew | still dontget why ubuntu used gnome by default when kde is so much better in a general view | 00:15 |
| lifebird64 | simplew: I, for one, though, have no clue. I'm just getting back into *nix after nearly a decade away and haven't had the chance to fiddle around with KDE yet. | 00:15 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: kubuntu uses kde by default.... | 00:16 |
| simplew | lets simply compare nautilus with dolphin and we get how much KDE is much more developed | 00:16 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: its equally supported | 00:16 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: its supported only bu community, its not officially supported | 00:17 |
| lifebird64 | simplew: *shrug* dunno. Before Ubuntu, I used to use window managers like enlightenment and other shtuff and avoided KDE/GNOME for the most part. | 00:17 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: its fully supported as the packages used are from the official repos | 00:17 |
| simplew | lifebird64: maybe its time for you to have a look and be amazed | 00:17 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: isnt what i have read in the canonical webpages | 00:18 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: its no less or more supported than Gnome, you will just find more guides are gnome based | 00:18 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: no, kubuntu its not officially supported | 00:18 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: sure it is | 00:18 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: its not, its only supported by the kubuntu community, not officially | 00:19 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: the community and channels support the packages from the official repos, which also is where KDE comes from | 00:19 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: like what i said, only by the kubuntu community | 00:19 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: its supported here, just like XFCE is and LXDE | 00:19 |
| lifebird64 | KDE vs Gnome is like fork vs spoon. (ie. "use whatever you like"). and kubuntu is /not/ officially supported by Canonical. Canonical, however, has no issue with it and does redirect those interested in KDE to try out Kubuntu if they wish. | 00:20 |
| simplew | canonical only support ubuntu oficially | 00:20 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: maybe but this channel supports all the packages in the repos | 00:20 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: in here you see a community | 00:21 |
| lifebird64 | actionParsnip: ^^ that much is true | 00:21 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: that's all that concerns me | 00:21 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: im off of this silly discussion, but like is said, see whats canonical says about it | 00:21 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: I don't care what canonical says | 00:21 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: in this channel, the repo packaged apps are supported | 00:22 |
| simplew | well you should since thats the company where ubuntu relies | 00:22 |
| lifebird64 | simplew: actionParsnip is trying to make a very simple point... | 00:22 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: I haven't in 5 years, not starting now | 00:22 |
| === marowanna is now known as ar0nic | ||
| simplew | actionParsnip: in fact your free to do whatever you want | 00:22 |
| lifebird64 | in here... to the best of people's ability, they try to help with any and all packages found in the canonical repos... KDE being among them. | 00:22 |
| simplew | so go ahed | 00:22 |

| n0sq | one app no longer works properly - and that is emesene | 00:33 |
| Cyrax | i think so,not sure | 00:34 |
| lifebird64 | Cyrax: in my console, when I run 'locale' I get (for example) en_CA.UTF-8 (CA since I'm in canada) | 00:35 |
| lifebird64 | Cyrax: what does /yours/ say? | 00:35 |

| actionParsnip | simplew: its not a GUI tough | 00:38 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: i prefer qaiting that qt5 arrives to ubuntu | 00:38 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: something like: echo "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ thinkpad_acpi.conf > /dev/null | 00:39 |
| actionParsnip | simplew: then when thinkpad_acpi the option will be used by default | 00:39 |
| simplew | actionParsnip: thats the example module thats in the webpage, but i still need to do a few more tests before disable wifi FW parameter | 00:40 |

| ezio | what's the x server for the latest version of ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| Hieberrr | I've been meaning to ask. Is there any easy way (kind of like on Windows) to uninstall apps that weren't installed through the app store? | 00:43 |
| actionParsnip | !lamp | HeAd | 00:43 |
| ubottu | HeAd: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:43 |
| actionParsnip | Hieberrr: use the same app to uninstall packages | 00:44 |
| lifebird64 | HeAd: I may be wrong, but it sounds like you'll be setting up your very /first/ web server. | 00:44 |
| HeAd | thanks | 00:44 |
| ezio | where are x server logs? | 00:44 |
| lifebird64 | HeAd: If that's true, I suggest you start with just 'Apache' (the main web server itself) and get comfortable with that. | 00:44 |
| Hieberrr | actionParsnip: I mean, for example --> Dropbox is installed by downloading it through the site and then running it as an executable. But you can't normally uninstall it via the app store, you have to.. iono do it through terminal or synaptic (which sometimes confuses me). | 00:45 |
| lifebird64 | HeAd: then add in PHP and MySQL if/when you're ready. | 00:45 |
| actionParsnip | Hieberrr: you can uninstall packages you installed outside of the official repos using software centre | 00:45 |
| actionParsnip | !info nautilus-dropbox | Hieberrr | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Hieberrr: nautilus-dropbox (source: nautilus-dropbox): Dropbox integration for Nautilus. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.7.1-2 (precise), package size 91 kB, installed size 361 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 00:46 |
| HeAd | but how i redirect external connections to my server at home? | 00:46 |
| actionParsnip | Hieberrr: you don't need the deb from the site, you can install using software centre | 00:46 |
| HeAd | so my friends and the world can see my page? | 00:46 |
| uw | so i finally upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04. | 00:46 |
| actionParsnip | HeAd: you will need to port forward 80/TCP to the IP of the server | 00:46 |
| Hieberrr | actionParsnip: Thank you | 00:46 |
| lifebird64 | Hieberrr: synaptic manager and using apt-get remove are (if I'm not mistaken) very closely related. Synaptic makes it prettier. | 00:46 |
| uw | the experience in a phrase: "she's gone from suck to blow!" | 00:46 |
| HeAd | i see... that easy? | 00:47 |
| actionParsnip | HeAd: yes | 00:47 |
| HeAd | thank you | 00:47 |
| HeAd | for the help | 00:47 |
| lifebird64 | HeAd: depending on your router, it's either 'port forwarding' or 'virtual server' | 00:47 |
| actionParsnip | HeAd: the router is currently dropping requests on port 80, once you setup the rule it will connect ok | 00:47 |
| uw | btw i | 00:47 |
| HeAd | i'll try | 00:47 |
| HeAd | =D | 00:47 |
| lifebird64 | HeAd: their synonymous (for basic setups) | 00:47 |
| uw | m guessing ubuntu has dropped all support for ATI cards? | 00:47 |
| Hieberrr | lifebird64: Yeah, I know. It's just that sometimes I don't know what the name of an app is, so removing it is hard. Same with synaptic, because I found 2-3 different dropbox things in synaptic LOL | 00:47 |
| actionParsnip | uw: the proprietary video driver is in the repos (or an installer for it) | 00:48 |
| lifebird64 | Hieberrr: ah. yeah. that gets me too. | 00:48 |
| lifebird64 | Hieberrr: is that what you're trying to uninstall right now? I have it on my computer and could have a look around o'er here. | 00:48 |
| Hieberrr | lifebird64: I guess I can just use the Software Centre and refrain from installing .deb LO. | 00:48 |
| Hieberrr | LOL* | 00:48 |
| uw | yup but wasnt there an option for not using the proprietary binary? | 00:49 |

| Hieberrr | lifebird64: Oh now, I was just asking for general purposes. It's the rare occasion of confusion that gets to me LOL | 00:49 |
| Hieberrr | no* | 00:49 |

| Cyrax | thanks :D | 00:50 |
| lifebird64 | Hieberrr: ah. gotcha. then I'll bow out of trying to help, 'cause I sometimes get equally confused. ;) | 00:50 |
| Hieberrr | lifebird64: Weird :S I had around 3 different things listed before. Oh well :P If it's in the SC, I'll get it from there from now on, heh. | 00:50 |

| lifebird64 | Hieberr: not sure if I did much, but you're welcome all the same. :) | 00:50 |
| actionParsnip | Hieberrr: software centre is just a GUI to the packages (installed and not installed alike), so you can uninstall packages as you wish, even if they are not from the Ubuntu repos or a PPA | 00:51 |
| Hieberrr | actionParsnip: O: For real? | 00:51 |

| zykotick9 | Hieberrr: assuming you installed fro a DEB. does not apply to "source" installs, or binary installs. | 00:51 |
| Hieberrr | zykotick9: Yeah it was through a .deb | 00:52 |
| actionParsnip | Hieberrr: then it gels with the package system and will appear | 00:53 |
| zykotick9 | Hieberrr: fyi, if i don't know what a package is called, i use "apt-cache search foo" from cli (fyi, no sudo required) | 00:53 |

| Cyrax | How do i "get out" of this so called scale for ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| KM0201 | you could get one of those small print servers and plug it into your router, then printer into that... that should make it work. | 01:44 |
| KM0201 | i understand that mibr001 | 01:44 |
| KM0201 | Cyrax: scale for ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| Cyrax | yeah.. | 01:45 |

| ner0x | How can I block someone from private messaging me? | 02:04 |

| bazhang | ner0x, /mode yournick +Rg | 02:04 |
| simplew | im confused about it | 02:04 |
| jrib | ner0x: depends on your client | 02:04 |
| ner0x | using xChat | 02:04 |
| bazhang | simplew, not for several years, if that | 02:05 |
| williamchan_ | if my drive was previously formmatted with EFI, and i want to use MBR again, does that mean i have to do something special to wipe out the EFI (i remember installing on top wont fix the problem) | 02:05 |
| bazhang | ner0x, then use my command | 02:05 |
| simplew | so i can safely uninstall waland? | 02:05 |
| simplew | wayland* | 02:05 |
| bazhang | simplew, sure | 02:05 |
| bazhang | /mode ner0x +Rg | 02:05 |
| ner0x | bazhang: I do this in the private message? | 02:06 |
| jrib | ner0x: you want to block all private messages or only ones from a specific user? | 02:06 |
| bazhang | ner0x, in the server window | 02:06 |
| ner0x | Just a specific user. | 02:06 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: what does that "/mode nick +Rg" do? | 02:06 |
| jrib | ner0x: the mode command above will block all private messages | 02:07 |
| simplew | bazhang: there are packages depending on it: | 02:07 |

| ner0x | I wish only to block one person. | 02:07 |

| kerrick | Are "Alternate install" and "Server" mutually exclusive? | 02:15 |
| kerrick | Err, guess not, found what I was looking for | 02:15 |
| KM0201 | kerrick: actually, yes. | 02:15 |
| kerrick | KM0201, oh, OK | 02:16 |
| kerrick | yeah, I guess I didn't actually find that combination | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | server install, installs a server distro (no desktop interface) the alternatee install, is a text installer, but will install a full desktop | 02:16 |
| kerrick | that's unfortunate | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | why is that? | 02:16 |
| kerrick | I just want a server installer that never goes into GUI | 02:16 |
| kerrick | KM0201, I'm running QEMU in a SSH session | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | kerrick: then you need to download hte server editio | 02:16 |
| kerrick | can't do graphics | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 02:17 |
| Guest68888 | I was under the impression the Ubuntu alternate 64bit had desktop, as a selectable option, meaning you didn | 02:17 |
| zykotick9 | kerrick: mini is also an option for you. see "/msg ubottu mini" for details | 02:17 |
| Guest68888 | didn't have to install the gui | 02:18 |
| KM0201 | Guest68888: not that i know of.. pretty sure it just defaults and installs one. | 02:18 |

| bazhang | lawcab, why not throught the package manager | 02:56 |
| OerHeks | Snowie, the easy way is to install Y PPA Manager, it has an "advanced" button that will find your missing keys | 02:56 |

| amsterdam_ | anyone? anyone know the effects? | 03:11 |
| Snowie | OerHeks, sorry mate, no love. What is going on here, same error. "W: GPG error: http://au.archive.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 03:11 |
| Snowie | " | 03:11 |
| OerHeks | amsterdam_, that is not the current kernel. it is recomended to stich to the kernel provided by the official ubuntu repository, otherwise you are on your own | 03:11 |
| Snowie | OerHeks, Y PPA reported it had found all missin keys | 03:11 |
| OerHeks | Snowie, great ! have fun ! | 03:12 |
| amsterdam_ | hmm | 03:12 |
| amsterdam_ | I ran a apt-get upgrade and that's what happened... | 03:12 |
| Snowie | OerHeks, :( that bad huh | 03:12 |
| babolatpdtp | hey guys. question for you: i'm running the latest ubuntu and have an external drive formatted in NTFS. it was all working but now i suddenly get "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: NTFS signature is missing". Opening the HD on my mac however still works properly. anyone know what i can do to get it working on ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| amsterdam_ | can I down grade by? | 03:12 |
| aafa | the problem is ubuntu has no a ppp config file, i fail | 03:12 |
| amsterdam_ | using a deb package? | 03:12 |
| aafa | no worries it's unstable OS | 03:13 |

| amsterdam_ | UEFI :/ | 03:15 |
| Black_Daemon | hello! | 03:15 |
| Black_Daemon | I have a question about compiling c++ programs on ubuntu, if anyone can help me | 03:16 |
| amsterdam_ | what do you need to know? | 03:16 |
| amsterdam_ | @Black_Daemon | 03:16 |
| Black_Daemon | so | 03:16 |
| Snowie | wilee-nilee, running | 03:16 |
| Black_Daemon | someone else created a project (this other person and I are working together) and he started the project with XCode (I think) | 03:16 |
| Black_Daemon | or maybe not | 03:16 |
| Black_Daemon | in any case | 03:17 |
| amsterdam_ | uh | 03:17 |
| Black_Daemon | haha is this a sign of doom already? | 03:17 |
| amsterdam_ | well, if he's using Xcode you can only use that project file if you're on a mac | 03:17 |
| amsterdam_ | because Xcode is OSX only | 03:17 |
| Black_Daemon | OK then maybe he isn't using XCode | 03:17 |
| Black_Daemon | hold on let me check | 03:17 |
| amsterdam_ | If you're looking for a good IDE to use, I'd recommend Qt Creator for the both of you | 03:17 |
| amsterdam_ | it's multi platform and great for C++ dev | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | Black_Daemon: you might want to read "/msg ubottu ask" (pay attention to the 1 line part) and "/msg ubottu enter" | 03:18 |
| babolatpdtp | anyone? | 03:18 |
| Black_Daemon | well, in any case, I have all the c++ source files | 03:18 |
| Black_Daemon | so... it SHOULD work for me too | 03:19 |
| Black_Daemon | and the Makefile looks good to me | 03:19 |
| amsterdam_ | hmm | 03:19 |
| amsterdam_ | so, what is the extension of the project file? | 03:19 |
| Black_Daemon | it's .cpp | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | that's the source file extension | 03:20 |
| Black_Daemon | ohhh | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | I mean the file which you use to manage the project | 03:20 |
| Black_Daemon | um | 03:20 |
| Black_Daemon | I'm just using vim xD | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | ah ok | 03:20 |
| Black_Daemon | and a makefile | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | so, your friend is using an IDE | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | and you're using Vim? | 03:20 |
| Black_Daemon | so far | 03:20 |
| amsterdam_ | ok | 03:21 |
| amsterdam_ | I take it he's on OSX and you're using Linux right? | 03:21 |
| Black_Daemon | to be honest, it's only been him who's done anything. We've only just started | 03:21 |
| Black_Daemon | yes | 03:21 |
| amsterdam_ | ok | 03:21 |
| amsterdam_ | how well do you know C++, if you don't mind me asking, and what compiler is he using on OSX? GCC? | 03:21 |
| Snowie | wilee-nilee, Your my new hero bud. thank you so much. now that i have my repo's fixed, i can finally try working on my Roland A-300 pro midi controller. wish me luck :) | 03:21 |
| Black_Daemon | well | 03:21 |
| Black_Daemon | at my school we use C a lot of the time, and some classes you use c++ | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | ok | 03:22 |
| Black_Daemon | I think he's using XCode? | 03:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Snowie, Cool I saw it was not a ppa, I have seen this on occasion on the channel. | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | so, you're familiar with the preprocessor and all that | 03:22 |
| Black_Daemon | there are comments that he says was automatically generated by XCode | 03:22 |
| Black_Daemon | yes | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | ok | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | I'm pretty sure Xcode's default compiler is LLVM | 03:22 |
| Black_Daemon | hmm | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | which, AFAIK, has a few differences than GCC | 03:22 |
| amsterdam_ | which could be why your code is not compiling | 03:23 |
| Black_Daemon | hmmmmm OK good point | 03:23 |
| amsterdam_ | if I were you, I would both start using GCC | 03:23 |
| Black_Daemon | I'll ask with him | 03:23 |
| amsterdam_ | kk | 03:23 |
| amsterdam_ | I mean, you can mix compilers, but it's generally better to focus on platform independence first before compiler independence, I think | 03:24 |
| Black_Daemon | hmmm actually the Makefile says "g++" | 03:24 |
| amsterdam_ | hmm | 03:24 |
| amsterdam_ | well, let me ask you this: are you willing to use an IDE for this project? | 03:24 |
| Black_Daemon | sure | 03:25 |
| amsterdam_ | ok | 03:25 |
| Black_Daemon | I don't really care too much; vim is just what I'm used to | 03:25 |
| amsterdam_ | I would suggest you both just use Qt Creator, I think it will eliminate a lot of hassle | 03:25 |
| SuperMiguel | how do i create a uefi partition in alternate installer??? | 03:25 |
| amsterdam_ | Qt Creator has a FakeVim environment which you could use as well | 03:25 |
| amsterdam_ | with all the hjkl movement and command goodies, etc. | 03:26 |
| top | which project? | 03:26 |
| Black_Daemon | FakeVim? | 03:26 |
| Black_Daemon | oh is that where you can do vim commands in the editor? | 03:26 |
| amsterdam_ | yeah | 03:26 |
| top | I use vim always. | 03:27 |
| amsterdam_ | with the added benefit of code completion, etc. | 03:27 |
| amsterdam_ | top, I like both :) | 03:27 |
| amsterdam_ | either way, if you really just want to use vim, man, and a makefile with some plugins | 03:27 |
| amsterdam_ | make sure he's using an IDE which is cross platform | 03:27 |
| amsterdam_ | because he may have generated the make file himself | 03:28 |
| amsterdam_ | not being aware of certain issues which might come across on linux | 03:28 |
| amsterdam_ | that's just a thought though, don't take my word for it | 03:28 |
| Black_Daemon | yeah, I thought that may be an issue | 03:28 |
| amsterdam_ | also, Qt has its own build system called Qmake, which is similar to make (it's really just a simpler interface that generates a makefile from it) | 03:29 |
| EzeQL | hi, when i run "which APP" app path is shown. I want to use another version of APP. how to do it? | 03:29 |
| amsterdam_ | so, if he uses qmake, it will generate the makefile in the build directory | 03:29 |
| williamchan_ | ok | 03:29 |
| amsterdam_ | which you can use to compile with | 03:29 |
| amsterdam_ | and edit | 03:29 |
| amsterdam_ | etc | 03:29 |
| amsterdam_ | anyway, I need to go | 03:29 |
| williamchan_ | i found out the kernel has a bug on the latest 12.04 after sudo apt-get install | 03:29 |
| williamchan_ | does anyone know schedule when ubuntu 12.04 will sync to the mainline kernel again? | 03:30 |
| amsterdam_ | Black_Daemon, gl. Peace out all | 03:30 |
| williamchan_ | i think the mainline kernel has the bug fix | 03:30 |
| Black_Daemon | Thanks amsterdam_! | 03:30 |
| Black_Daemon | <3 | 03:30 |

| HardDisk | Evening, anyone have any problems running gadmin-proftpd proftpd in ubuntu 12.04? | 03:31 |
| HardDisk | or if there are any ftp gui alternatives would be helpful, I have googled, nothing really came up | 03:31 |
| HardDisk | I get a message Cant allocate enough ram, exiting | 03:32 |
| klync | while flipping through raw images with geeqie, when i open one with ufraw it looks quite different, even if i make sure all adjustments are zeroed. anyone know what's going on there? | 03:33 |
| klync | HardDisk: alternatives to what? gftp? | 03:34 |
| HardDisk | to gadmin-proftpd | 03:35 |
| HardDisk | or why it's crashing and giving me Cant allocate enough ram, exiting | 03:35 |
| HardDisk | when i run memory intensive apps just fine and I have 8GB of Ram installed | 03:35 |
| HardDisk | gtp is a client. | 03:36 |
| klync | oh. never used it but ... do you run it as root or as your user? tried removing ~/.gadmin-proftpd or similar if it exists? | 03:36 |
| HardDisk | klync, I have done both, and removed config files | 03:36 |
| klync | HardDisk: also, if you run it by clicking an icon, see if you can start it from a shell and you may get debug output on the console | 03:37 |
| ccbn | The clvm package on 12.04 lacks the liblvm2clusterlock.so. Does anyone know the best way to remedy this? | 03:37 |
| HardDisk | klync, that is the message from shell | 03:37 |
| HardDisk | I know the basics of debugging a problem, and that's not working. | 03:38 |
| williamchan_ | mainline kernel just posted a bug fix for logitech mouse 4 days ago, how long do i have to wait for it to trickle down to ubuntu kernel for apt-get install? | 03:38 |
| klync | HardDisk: fair enough | 03:38 |
| DaemonicApathy | klync: In reference to your question, I believe geeqie and ufraw convert images differently, which will invariably result in different outputs. Though I can't imagine why there might be a significant difference, without examples. | 03:38 |
| klync | DaemonicApathy: if i can figure out how to take a screenshot, i'll post it ... | 03:39 |

| Snowie | ? | 03:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | klync, assuming ufraw is the maximized window, and geeqie is the smaller one, I would say geeqie still has some work to do on the brightness settings during conversion. I notice they still are not in a 'stable' release. | 03:46 |

| uw | everything gets mounted to /media | 04:08 |
| uw | useless | 04:08 |
| aeon-ltd | deprecation | 04:08 |

| purplee | what good video games are for linuX , can someoneHELP | 04:08 |
| uw | yup i sure use it | 04:09 |
| aeon-ltd | purplee: go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:09 |
| uw | but forsome reason everything auto mounts to that dumb media directory | 04:09 |
| uw | why did that ever come about? | 04:09 |
| uw | implimenting a media directory | 04:09 |
| aeon-ltd | well whatever your using to mount media is doing that | 04:09 |
| blackshirt | uw, usually that was for external media | 04:09 |
| Stanley00 | uw: FSH document may have some points :D | 04:09 |
| Pigchampion | hello | 04:10 |
| uw | aeon-ltd, it's a default install. when it starts up, it mounts the disks to /media | 04:10 |
| uw | 10.04 did it | 04:10 |
| uw | and now aparently 12.04 does it too | 04:10 |
| uw | annoying | 04:10 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| Pigchampion | if i install ubuntu along side windows will it delete all my stuff or will ubuntu be able to find all my stuff,im going to be using the wubi installer | 04:11 |
| aeon-ltd | if you're that annoyed write a script that creates a symlink from /mnt/x to /media/x whenever you mount | 04:11 |
| blackshirt | thats npt greats | 04:11 |
| blackshirt | Not | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | Pigchampion: wubi is a testing platform not a long-term installation solution. so sayeth the wubi developers. | 04:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Pigchampion: depends how you do the wubi, if you install inside windows, ubuntu will be contained in a single file inside a windows diectory | 04:12 |
| Pigchampion | i mean when i install it will it give me an option to not delete my stuff lol | 04:12 |
| uw | yea i just change how it mounts altogether. which is the annoying part because i other scripts that rely on certain locations. | 04:12 |
| Pigchampion | so partion a part of my hdd | 04:13 |
| uw | blackshirt, so that was for stuff like USB drives? | 04:13 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: The two sections are just purposed differently - /mnt is for manual mounting of devices, and /media is for automatic mounting by the system. | 04:14 |
| uw | is there a smart way for the system to mount things differently depending if they are usb/sata/pata? | 04:14 |
| uw | maybe im missing something | 04:14 |
| DaemonicApathy | Pigchamion, yes. The Ubuntu installer has very clear-cut options with descriptions on whether an option will delete anything. | 04:15 |
| Pigchampion | k so im fine on installing it without deleting anything | 04:15 |
| DaemonicApathy | Pigchampion: Quite. | 04:15 |
| Pigchampion | ok cool | 04:15 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: I think you would have to modify that type of thing yourself. | 04:15 |
| Pigchampion | how long is the install | 04:16 |
| machicola | does anyone know how I might go about permanently setting my monitor brightness to the lowest setting? Hardware is Asus N61J-Q and I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I've been using the function+keyboard combo to adjust it every time but it goes back to the brightest setting every time I log back on | 04:16 |
| DaemonicApathy | Pigchampion: Depends on how much you want to install - updates, third-party software, just barebones OS... | 04:16 |
| DaemonicApathy | Pigchampion: It also depends on your hardware. | 04:17 |
| Pigchampion | oh cool | 04:17 |
| aeon-ltd | machicola: aren't ther hardware controls for that? | 04:17 |
| uw | DaemonicApathy, i see... but that's still kinda silly right? | 04:17 |
| uw | i dont know who made that decision | 04:17 |
| aeon-ltd | machicola: disregard that, didn't know it was a laptop | 04:18 |
| uw | to put auto mounts and manual mounts in different root directories | 04:18 |
| uw | probably the gnome3 people | 04:18 |
| machicola | aeon-ltd, the gnome GUI settings for that do not stay , yeah | 04:18 |

| mihael | hello | 04:56 |
| Malimbar | question - I installed kubuntu-desktop at some point, and now I'm having trouble removing everythign that it installed. Is there an easy way to do so? | 05:03 |
| blackshirt | malimbar, kubuntu or gnome shares a same tool with apt-get/aptitude to do packages management | 05:04 |
| crizis | Malimbar, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu | 05:04 |
| Malimbar | crizis, Thanks! that looks perfect. | 05:05 |
| BuisSse | Would the default route and SNAT cause problems if I have 2 WAN interfaces? | 05:05 |
| Malimbar | and wow that's a lot of things to remove. This will be fun | 05:05 |
| crizis | it should be pretty safe anyways, it does install ubuntu-desktop + deps back too if anything gets removed | 05:06 |
| Malimbar | It's suprising these aren't all removed when simply uninstalling kubuntu-desktop | 05:07 |
| crizis | that's just a meta-package | 05:07 |

| |Anthony| | using pidgin to connect to google talk my microphone cuts out to others, but using the google talk plugin it is fine | 05:22 |
| |Anthony| | any suggestions? | 05:22 |
| Dragonster82 | What do you mean by cuts out? | 05:22 |
| |Anthony| | well, others report that my audio cuts in and out mid sentence | 05:23 |
| |Anthony| | but only with pidgin. using the gtalk plugin it is fine | 05:23 |

| machicola | If I have an intel i7 should I be updating my linux kernel with the amd64 or the i386 .deb packages? | 05:25 |
| aeon-ltd | are you running 64 or 32bit? | 05:25 |
| cfhowlett | machicola: if you installed 32 use 32. | 05:25 |
| machicola | 64 bit | 05:25 |
| aeon-ltd | amd64 | 05:25 |
| machicola | ahh, so i386 coincides with 32, ok thanks | 05:25 |
| machicola | have to reinstall again :-( | 05:26 |
| Dragonster82 | Are you using the push and talk button Anthony? Because from my experience you have to hold the button for 1 second before speaking. | 05:26 |
| |Anthony| | Dragonster82, i'm using a webcam | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | any package can kill a process that rises memory can freezes desktop? | 05:28 |
| lotuspsychje | like a auto xkill or something | 05:29 |
| Dragonster82 | @Anthony you're talking about your microphone, right? So what are you trying to say with your webcam? | 05:30 |
| |Anthony| | the mic is built into the webcam | 05:31 |
| |Anthony| | when using pidgin to connect to google talk, my audio out to others is erratic. It cuts in and out. | 05:32 |
| |Anthony| | it's not to loud, or to quiet (as reported by others) just that it cuts out randomly | 05:33 |
| |Anthony| | but if i use the google talk plugin, all is well | 05:33 |
| Dragonster82 | @Anthony I might know your problem. Are you using something like the voice activation setting? | 05:34 |
| |Anthony| | what is that? | 05:34 |
| Dragonster82 | The one that enables your microphone in the webcam everytime you speak. | 05:34 |
| Dragonster82 | It "detects" your voice through volume levels and activates it. | 05:35 |
| Dragonster82 | @Anthony if you have that option available, change it to Push-To-Talk or something else, because voice activation is never the good choice unless your hand is really full and unable to push buttons | 05:36 |

| Fernest | when does 12.10 come out? (Have to install Linux on a new Laptop and don't know if it is better to wait until 12.10 or to install 12.04. Is it easy to upgrade or is it better to install a fresh copy?) | 05:54 |
| DaemonicApathy | 10/18, iirc Fernest | 05:54 |
| Fernest | oh | 05:55 |
| DaemonicApathy | If you're impatient, you can install it now, and update it once it's official. | 05:55 |
| Fernest | Will it be complicated? | 05:56 |
| DaemonicApathy | No more than usual. | 05:56 |
| Fernest | I am kinda very new to linux | 05:56 |
| cfhowlett | Fernest: stick with LTS releases 12.04 | 05:56 |
| Fernest | so I don't know how difficult usual is | 05:56 |
| Fernest | ok | 05:56 |
| uw | ok, for 12.04, how can i change it so the file path is text, not gay little windows | 05:57 |
| uw | sorry | 05:57 |
| DaemonicApathy | Make CD or USB to boot from, install OS, win. | 05:57 |
| uw | little windows rather | 05:57 |
| uw | this is in the file browser | 05:57 |
| bluefox83 | uw: clcik on go and then location | 05:58 |
| bluefox83 | *click | 05:58 |
| |Anthony| | bluefox83, is it a possible router issue? | 05:58 |
| uw | thanks bluefox83 | 05:58 |
| uw | now this will stay right? | 05:58 |
| bluefox83 | |Anthony|: how would i know that? there are two other machines using the wifi on it that are connecting just fine... | 05:59 |
| bluefox83 | uw: no idea | 05:59 |
| uw | nope, it doesnt | 05:59 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: You can always hit Ctrl+L to have those little windows turn into the text path. | 05:59 |
| uw | thats on the right track though thanks bluefox83 | 05:59 |
| bluefox83 | i don't like the little button things either, i prefer the paths | 06:00 |
| uw | DaemonicApathy, thanks again. do you know a way i can have it so it does that by default? | 06:00 |
| DaemonicApathy | In retrospect, my suggestion is the exact shortcut for Go>Location... | 06:00 |
| bluefox83 | lol | 06:00 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: I'm orking on that... | 06:00 |
| uw | i believe it was a setting in gconf before... | 06:01 |
| uw | because i remember having to do this in 10.04 | 06:01 |
| uw | but it looks like gconf doesnt work anymore so i dunno what to do | 06:01 |
| bluefox83 | i accidentally restarted my router while trying to fix this and still i can't get the box to connect to the net. I've got it set to a static IP so i can run an ftp server for my web dev class but it's not letting it connect to the net! | 06:03 |
| |Anthony| | bluefox83, the router has to set the static ip | 06:04 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: Try from Terminal, "gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true" | 06:05 |
| suigeneris | hi | 06:05 |
| bluefox83 | |Anthony|: static IP is set by the OS, not the router | 06:05 |
| |Anthony| | bluefox83, let the server accept whatever ip the router assigns, and tell the router to assign the server a static ip | 06:05 |
| Sazpaimon | I have this old sed script that isnt working anymore: s/[[:<:]]NULL[[:>:]]/\\N/g. I'm getting "Invalid character class name" now. Has something changed in the last x years that broke this? | 06:05 |
| bluefox83 | and now for whatever reason i restarted the machine and the second hard drive is not mounting...what the heck | 06:06 |
| Dragonster82 | You can configure what you want your static IP is through the localhost | 06:06 |
| Dragonster82 | By default it is 192.168.1.1 | 06:06 |
| suigeneris | grub-install --recheck /dev/sda1 /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: hd0 appears to contain a reiserfs filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot. Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk). <--- what doe this mean? | 06:06 |
| bluefox83 | |Anthony|: my router doesn't do that | 06:06 |
| suigeneris | ./dev/sda1 contains reiserfs | 06:06 |
| |Anthony| | bluefox83, i suggest a better router/firewall if you're opening a server to the interwebs ;) | 06:07 |
| |Anthony| | honestly | 06:07 |
| DaemonicApathy | It means two things, suigeneris... | 06:07 |
| suigeneris | Sazpaimon: #sed might know | 06:07 |
| uw | DaemonicApathy, nice man thanks. I was just getting to where gconf is being replaced by gsettings | 06:07 |
| uw | thanks for saving me some time again | 06:08 |
| DaemonicApathy | 1. You should familiarize yourself with http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and 2. That partition has a filesystem that may not work well with GRUB. | 06:08 |
| DaemonicApathy | uw: I do what I can, when I can. :-) | 06:08 |
| Sazpaimon | suigeneris, yeah i guess I'll ask there and see if I get a response tomorrow | 06:08 |

| Jordan_U | suigeneris: You should never install grub's boot sector to a partition, even less so when that partition contains a reiserfs filesystem. Install grub's boot sector to the MBR, "/dev/sda". | 06:20 |
| stukie | Can you elaborate it Jordan? | 06:22 |
| stukie | I am noobies when it comes to Ubuntu ._. | 06:22 |
| blackshirt | stukie, a lot of peoples here share the same problems with you.. | 06:23 |
| WeThePeople | do not use the sda1 to install grub use sda cuz its mbr | 06:23 |
| blackshirt | Stukie, so, just keep polite and learning | 06:24 |
| stukie | ohhh, hmm, I don't understand the grub, sda and mbr. Let me research it first | 06:24 |
| WeThePeople | kudos to who ever told me lol | 06:24 |
| stukie | so that I won't cause inconvenience to you :). Thanks blackshirt, will note it | 06:24 |
| DaemonicApathy | stukie, Jordan_U was addressing someone else's question. | 06:24 |
| WeThePeople | me either | 06:25 |
| stukie | I am confused @_@ Sorry about that | 06:25 |
| blackshirt | stukie, sda was refers to some disk, and mbr was part of your disk | 06:25 |
| DaemonicApathy | stukie: I apologize for any intrusion, but I sent you a (hopefully) helpful quote from the page you linked, privately. | 06:26 |
| stukie | I get it, MBR is like your main disk used to install OS | 06:26 |
| Kartagis | DaemonicApathy: I'm the guy who had grub issues like 20 minutes ago (suigeneris). FYI, update-grub2 worked | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | stukie: My statement was not directed at you, which is why I prefaced it with the nick "suigeneris" and not "stukie". Not that there is any problem with you being curious about what I meant, but I hope it's clear now that it was not advice directed toward you. | 06:27 |

| Kartagis | Jordan_U: which one? | 06:28 |

| Jordan_U | Kartagis: suigeneris: You should never install grub's boot sector to a partition, even less so when that partition contains a reiserfs filesystem. Install grub's boot sector to the MBR, "/dev/sda". | 06:29 |
| jalexandru | is the "diff" command strong enough to compare any type of files? or files containing binaries will not report correct? | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | Kartagis: And I recommend that next time you say you'll "brb" that you join using the same nick :) | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | Kartagis: update-grub doesn't install grub, it only re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 06:30 |

| bluefox83 | wols_: yeah | 07:22 |
| Guest61007 | and I am logged in Ubuntu but using kernel 0.31 | 07:22 |
| Guest61007 | The issue is with kernel 0.32 | 07:22 |
| wols_ | Guest61007: sure. it's still a stupid thing to do. so don't do it and use the ubuntu provided drivers or it will happen everytime you get a new kernel or a new X version | 07:22 |
| wols_ | Guest61007: no, the issue is you installing drivers the wrong way | 07:22 |
| Guest61007 | OK so what can I do then? | 07:22 |

| DaemonicApathy | rchavik: Do you have a lot of stuff in ~/Music? | 08:31 |
| genera | disk or usb flash? | 08:31 |
| ikonia | rchavik: poor I/O, using the experimental file system ? slow disk ? could be anything | 08:31 |

| sere | DaemonicApathy, inperion m5010 | 08:32 |
| rchavik | DaemonicApathy, about 3Gs.. | 08:32 |
| ikonia | juniour: could you please stop saying wt??? if you have a question, or something that is not clear, ask it clearly | 08:32 |
| leotr | how many seconds faster (average value) will the boot process be if i compile custom kernel with only required drivers? | 08:32 |
| rchavik | ikonia, isn't btrfs default ? | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | rchavik: ext4 is ubuntu default filesystem | 08:33 |
| rchavik | duh | 08:33 |
| juniour | ikona i am not asking some one asking me something so i just tell wt for more clear explatation | 08:33 |
| ikonia | rchavik: no | 08:34 |
| ikonia | juniour: so ask clearly | 08:34 |
| ikonia | juniour: just saying wt??? means nothing, and you keep saying it | 08:34 |
| rchavik | ikonia, cfhowlett i must have confused it with other distro.. okay then.. | 08:35 |
| DaemonicApathy | sere: You're all set for 64-bit OSes, so all I can think of is that the available drivers for the mouse are only optimized for x86. does the touchpad work alright? | 08:36 |
| jalexandru | how can help me with mercurial -> I'm new to this ... | 08:36 |

| iDangerMouse | Isn't "muslimbuntu" a bit offensive, mixing religion, and OS. | 08:38 |
| sere | DaemonicApathy, i think they are 64 but ill check again | 08:38 |
| sere | DaemonicApathy, the touchpad is perfect | 08:39 |
| hasy | why the loopback MTU:16436 <--- that big | 08:39 |
| DaemonicApathy | Sere: I can only suggest that you remove the usb dongle, make sure the port and dongle are free of dust, and reinsert the dongle. If it's still buggy, remove the dongle one more time, throw it and the mouse in the trash, and get a good Logitech mouse. :-) | 08:41 |
| sere | DaemonicApathy, thought it might be the mouse so switched to my logitech still no joy | 08:42 |
| sere | and ive tried otther ports :/ | 08:42 |

| rchavik | is there a way to move the root fs to another partition quickly (without going through the install process) ? | 08:54 |
| SystemParadox | morning all. A couple of my services are not starting on boot, despite symlinks being present and everything working when started manually. There is nothing in dmesg, syslog or boot.log. Where else can I look and how can I verify that init is even bothering to try? Thanks | 08:55 |
| linuxsage | running ip route list shows I have 2 interface named eth1 with different ip addresses assigned to each, is this an issue | 09:00 |
| wols_ | linuxsage: can you pastebin the output | 09:01 |
| wols_ | cause it'd be kinda hard to do that | 09:01 |
| Josh | If I have C D E and system reserve as Primary partitions, so I cannot create another partition, not even extended | 09:03 |
| _cronus_ | linuxsage, you can have multiple ip on an iterface. that's normal | 09:03 |
| Josh | Therefore, I'll have to format one of my existing partitions. | 09:03 |
| Josh | But someone told me that, I can't only format say, D and make it extended | 09:03 |
| Josh | So, I wanted to ask, I can or I cannot? | 09:03 |
| stukie | Guys, any clue of solving the blackout screen after inserting USB Device? | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | !nomodeset|stukie: | 09:04 |
| ubottu | stukie:: 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 | 09:04 |
| Josh | The person told me, if I want to format the partition, I'll have to format both D and E partitions. | 09:04 |
| wols_ | Josh: you can move the last partition to an extended partition even, without needing to format anything. | 09:04 |
| Josh | I can? | 09:04 |
| Josh | How? | 09:04 |
| wols_ | gparted | 09:04 |
| Josh | wols_, For that I need an extended partition | 09:04 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| Josh | I don't have extended partition. | 09:05 |
| stukie | Thanks | 09:05 |
| Josh | Thats the main problem | 09:05 |
| stukie | let me find my Ubuntu CD then | 09:05 |
| wols_ | Josh: you CREATE one | 09:05 |
| wols_ | and yes you can do it | 09:05 |
| Josh | wols_, I cannot, as I already have 4 primary partitions. | 09:05 |
| wols_ | you can if you use gparted to do it | 09:05 |
| Josh | I do have gparted. | 09:05 |
| Josh | and gparted is telling me, I already have 4 primary partitions. | 09:06 |
| Josh | System Reserved, C D and E | 09:06 |
| stukie | Oh yeah, I forgot. the USB Device I am talking about is Wacom Bamboo Tablet (CTL-460). After I plugged it, the screen black out. Is setting nomodset still apply? | 09:06 |
| linuxsage | wols: this is the output "10.1.128.23/22 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.129.133" ,I am running inside a internal network | 09:06 |
| linuxsage | XX.XXX.X.X/16 dev eth1 scope link metric 1000 | 09:06 |
| Josh | wols_, can you convert primary partition to Extended? | 09:06 |
| Josh | Nope, unless you format. | 09:06 |
| Josh | But the question is, Is it have to be the last partition, that is E | 09:06 |
| Josh | or I can just format D and format it newly as extended. | 09:07 |
| wols_ | Josh: wrong. but since you obviously are hopeless, I stop here. have a nice day formatting | 09:07 |
| Josh | This is not a very good thing to say. | 09:07 |
| Josh | But, I've never in particular asked YOU for help | 09:07 |
| * Josh shrugs. | 09:07 | |
| wols_ | linuxsage: this output doesn't show what you claim. check "ifconfig -a" it shows you all available interfaces and IPs assigned if any | 09:09 |

| ubottu | SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 11:31 |
| BoozeWooz | but the OS is not so good to be honest :S their packet manager is horrible | 11:31 |
| blackshirt | thats very relative | 11:32 |
| BoozeWooz | hmm but thats why theres so many distro, everyone want something :P | 11:32 |

(The external hard drive has 60GB free). | 12:27 |

| rsser | you need to setting boot cd on bios | 12:28 |
| rsser | or press F8 and select to the boot device | 12:29 |
| davidguard | rsser: yes. I'm running a dual boot on a Macbook Pro. So it is probably something to do with that. | 12:29 |
| rsser | I just wondering that problem can be this | 12:29 |
| davidguard | rsser: I mean the dual boot might be why I can't run a liveCD. I used to be able to until the last time I upgraded. Now I can't | 12:30 |

| Pici | Dragonster82: you should have a pm from ubottu about it. | 12:33 |
| rsser | Dragonster82, ask on freenode's help channel | 12:33 |

| dr_willis | louiemat: ssh/sshfs/nfs/samba ;) details would help us help you.. | 12:33 |
| Dragonster82 | @Pici and rsser I received a PM about it, but I don't see any application form or something at the links. | 12:33 |
| rsser | overthere, they will help you | 12:33 |
| rsser | davidguard, so? | 12:34 |
| Pici | Dragonster82: Its all in the second link, under the Operator Application Process heading. | 12:34 |
| davidguard | rsser: with the dual boot screen normally see a CD image I can choose from. But that doesnt come up anymore. | 12:34 |
| davidguard | rsser: it won't boot from liveCDs or live USBs | 12:35 |
| louiemat | ssh/sshfs/nfs/samba | 12:35 |
| rsser | davidguard, if you choose the cd to start on bios, it shouldn't show the dual boot menu. It will show to you boot menu from live CD only. | 12:35 |
| davidguard | rsser: but it doesn't | 12:36 |
| rsser | there is something wrong with live cd | 12:36 |
| rsser | are you already try usb live? | 12:36 |
| davidguard | rsser: I can't tell you why or how. The Live CD I used worked previously and still works on other machines. And so did the live USB I have | 12:37 |
| rsser | it can be malfunction on CD/DVD drive | 12:38 |
| rsser | davidguard, give your mac model | 12:38 |
| rsser | let me make a research | 12:38 |
| davidguard | rsser: MacBookPro3,1 | 12:39 |
| Dragonster82 | How do I apply to be an OP in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc ? The second link told me to go to the Ubuntu IRC launchpad website, and so I did. But here it says it doesn't serve any purpose and it tells me to go back to the instructions page. | 12:41 |
| davidguard | rsser: I've looked through the forums regarding this issue when I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04. In the end I gave up and did an upgrade. I don't like doing upgrades. I usually install the newest version. But that time I couldn't. System's been buggy ever since. | 12:41 |

| Glorforidor | Djones you are lovely! :D | 12:52 |
| billy1 | ThinkT510... otherwise, I can't see any icons, can't click on the desktop, and no network monitor/indicator above right, on the panel. | 12:53 |
| swp | hello, how can I set a system wide proxy in ubuntu. I have changed /etc/environment, and apt seems to be working. I have had to manually enter the settings in XChat to get this working. In Zorin OS for example, there is a GUI program, and I click "Set System Wide" and everything works. How can I get firefox, and xchat to work using the system settings, opposed to entering them manually etc ? | 12:53 |
| swp | basically, where else do i enter proxy settings in linux to apply system wide, besides /etc/environment | 12:53 |
| ThinkT510 | billy1: sorry i can't help | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | billy1 any reason why you don't upgrade to 12.04 lts ? | 12:53 |
| billy1 | thanks... Think. Well... my machine is really old. I tried 12.04, it looked great, but performance is awful. | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | billy1 you must be the last one the planet who uses 10.04 for desktop | 12:54 |
| ThinkT510 | !lubuntu | billy1 | 12:54 |
| ubottu | billy1: 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. | 12:54 |
| amos__ | bazhang my printer is okey ita already configured but when is send a job it doesnt print but it shows its completed what might be the prob? | 12:55 |
| billy1 | yes, I've seen that too. I've installed that to my other hd until it crashed a few days ago. 10.04 Gnome2 is really for my machine. | 12:55 |

| rsser | davidguard, pvt me | 12:56 |
| truexfan81 | billy1: there is the option of installing mate on 12.04 which would give you your gnome2, but you would not be able to get help for it here | 12:56 |
| === vjn_ is now known as vjn | ||
| ThinkT510 | billy1: gnome2 is only supported until april 2013 on 10.04, you'd need to find an alternative by then | 12:56 |
| Squall5668 | billy1: you can use gnome2 with 12.04 though. In any case, what did you last change? did you install proprietary drivers? remove them? upgrade them? Do all of the above | 12:57 |
| billy1 | Besides... my nvidia card is Gforce4, not supported by 12.04. Yes, I'm banking on the deadline... I just might be able to upgrade before the date... I just need it to work a few more months. Squall5668... I've tried 12.04... my video is not supported, and my machine is almost hanging at times. I also tried the pseudo gnome2 desktop... but the machine is just not performing too well. | 12:59 |
| davidguard | rsser: wait a sec. I don't know how to pvt you using this app... | 12:59 |
| Gnea | billy1: since when is any Geforce card not supported by 12.04? | 12:59 |
| billy1 | Yes... I know mate. Oh... I'm not sure... I' | 13:00 |
| rsser | davidguard, what is the app you are using? | 13:00 |
| davidguard | rsser: colloquy | 13:00 |
| billy1 | I've been hammering google for weeks now... and nothing shows to make it work on 12.04 | 13:00 |
| benza | I am trying to install ubuntu using windows installer, downloads installs but on reboot goes to a black screen and hangs there. I tried holding shift, to try nomodeset but cant do that. I orig installed first time and worked but had no mouse/keyboard so i uninstalled now every time i try install hangs on black screen | 13:00 |
| billy1 | I believe It has been dropped. | 13:00 |
| VRIL | having problems dual booting 12.04 and windows 7 64bit(both) on GPT | 13:00 |
| VRIL | anyone else experienced this dilemma? | 13:01 |
| Gnea | billy1: what's the output from this command: lspci | grep VGA | 13:01 |
| rsser | davidguard, click twice on my nickname | 13:01 |
| billy1 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3) | 13:01 |
| Gnea | oh my, that IS a bit old... let's see here... | 13:02 |
| billy1 | yeah | 13:02 |
| XiaolinDraconis | my screen goes crazy when i try to change resolution | 13:02 |
| VRIL | benza, using a rewritable cd/dvd? | 13:02 |
| XiaolinDraconis | and when an app changes it as well | 13:02 |
| benza | vril: im using the windows installer | 13:03 |
| VRIL | wubi | 13:03 |
| VRIL | ;/ | 13:03 |
| benza | yeh, is it trash? | 13:03 |
| VRIL | yeah i dont think i have much of an alternative than to use that... | 13:03 |
| VRIL | wubi is okay | 13:03 |
| VRIL | it stays on the windows partition; if you're comfortable with that. | 13:03 |
| benza | yeah thats fine with me | 13:04 |
| VRIL | if it works then u should have no problem | 13:04 |
| VRIL | i myself am having a major issue dual-booting on GPT partitions | 13:04 |
| benza | it doesnt work, after installer it goes to a black screen :/ | 13:04 |
| VRIL | lol yeah, wubi has failed for me too in the past | 13:04 |
| Eagleman | How do i include a ta.key in this? openssl pkcs12 -export -in client.crt -inkey client.key -certfile ca.crt -out client.p12 | 13:04 |
| MonkeyDust | VRIL benza wubi is a limited pseudo-installtion inside windows, so to say, don't expect too much of it | 13:04 |
| VRIL | have you tried running it through the compatibility fix and ran as admin? | 13:04 |
| Redoovius | Quick question (hopefully) ... I have a ASUS 1000HA... and it seems to have deleted the wireless card from itself after using it for literally two years. Any ideas on how to get it back? | 13:05 |
| truexfan81 | Gnea: is there no way to get the nvidia 96 drivers on 12.04? i think that would make his geforce4 work | 13:05 |
| VRIL | Redoovius, asus drivers support page should have it | 13:05 |
| Redoovius | For Ubuntu? Really? I never even looked there... that's interesting | 13:05 |
| VRIL | ohh no not ubuntu lol | 13:05 |
| VRIL | sorry | 13:06 |
| Redoovius | Well... we are in an Ubuntu channel, sir. ;P | 13:06 |
| VRIL | yeah i realized | 13:06 |
| VRIL | sorry | 13:06 |
| billy1 | for days... I also tried installing gnome2 (the real deal) on 12.04... I ran into problems. Somethings just didn't compute. Things didn't work out well. | 13:06 |
| Gnea | billy1, truexfan81: 96 ought to do it | 13:06 |
| VRIL | Redoovius, whens tuff like that happens; i just reformat | 13:06 |
| Gnea | GPUs ranging from GeForce series 2 (except for GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro, | 13:07 |
| Gnea | GeForce2 Ti and GeForce2 Ultra) to GeForce series 7 are supported. | 13:07 |
| billy1 | So I backedup my data and reformatted. what is truexfan81:96? Is it a driver for my nvidia card? | 13:07 |
| gordonjcp | Redoovius: do you know what kind of wireless card it is? | 13:07 |
| Gnea | billy1: | 13:07 |
| C8H10N4O2 | i am trying to run mysql dump "mysqldump -u root -p dbname > dbnam-backup.sql but I keep getting bash: permission denied | 13:07 |
| Gnea | !info nvidia-glx-96 | billy1 | 13:07 |
| C8H10N4O2 | please help | 13:07 |
| ubottu | billy1: Package nvidia-glx-96 does not exist in precise | 13:07 |
| TJ- | Eagleman: Are you trying to set-up OpenVPN with a TLS-auth key? | 13:07 |
| Gnea | oops | 13:07 |
| benza | whats linux like on virtual box | 13:07 |
| Eagleman | TJ- yes for my desire phone | 13:07 |
| michealPW | Ugh, I broke KDE again... | 13:08 |
| Gnea | !info nvidia-96 | billy1 | 13:08 |
| ubottu | billy1: nvidia-96 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 96.43.20-0ubuntu6 (precise), package size 9067 kB, installed size 26240 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia) | 13:08 |
| Redoovius | No, I'm not sure... but it's the generic one that ASUS uses for their netbooks. | 13:08 |
| michealPW | LOL I can't log-out/shutdown or restart KDE. When I click the buttons, nothing happens. | 13:08 |
| VRIL | benza, it runs better on vmware; but im sick of running linux on VM | 13:08 |
| Gnea | benza: it works. | 13:08 |
| michealPW | I tried issuing a qdbus command in the terminal (Found on Google) to issue the logout but it doesn't even return an error.. Any idea how to bring down this KDE :\ | 13:08 |
| billy1 | ubottu: so I need to reinstall 12.04 and do the packages you mentioned? | 13:08 |
| ubottu | billy1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:08 |
| VRIL | its limited | 13:08 |
| Gnea | C8H10N4O2: run it with sudo | 13:08 |
| michealPW | All other examples on Google seem to reference KDM, which I'm not using I'm using LightDM :\ | 13:08 |
| C8H10N4O2 | tried same error | 13:08 |
| Gnea | C8H10N4O2: what's your pwd? | 13:09 |
| billy1 | Gnea: what do I do with linfo nvidia-96 | 13:09 |
| TJ- | Eagleman: I found it wasn't possible using the Android GUI for the regular VPN cert/key, let alone for a TLS-auth key | 13:10 |
| Gnea | billy1: install it. | 13:10 |
| Gnea | billy1: installing nvidia-96-dev and nvidia-96-updates-dev might not be a bad idea either | 13:10 |
| MonkeyDust | billy1 in a terminal, type apt-cache search nvidia-96 | 13:11 |
| wols_ | Gnea: wouldn't nouveau work? | 13:11 |
| Gnea | wols_: he's got an MX 440, the 96 drivers specifically still support it | 13:11 |
| billy1 | Okay, here it is: nvidia-96-modaliases - Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org driver | 13:11 |
| billy1 | nvidia-96 - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library | 13:11 |
| billy1 | nvidia-96-dev - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver development files | 13:11 |
| billy1 | nvidia-96-kernel-source - Transitional package for nvidia-glx-96-kernel-source | 13:11 |
| the_dudez0r | Hi, if I'm installing a program through a .sh installer, for instance netbeans, in which folder should I install it? by default it goes to /home/grull/netbeans-7.2 | 13:11 |
| the_dudez0r | but I don't think I want it there. What I'm asking is like what's the equivalent of program files in ubuntu | 13:12 |
| michealPW | Anyone have an idea to logout of KDE? | 13:12 |
| billy1 | Gnea: I think so too. | 13:12 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i think /opt | 13:12 |
| michealPW | My Logout/Shutdown/Restart buttons do not do anything... If I switch to a terminal with Alt+Ctrl+F1 and use sudo shutdown now it also doesn't work. | 13:12 |
| Gnea | billy1: I've got a laptop sitting in my closet that has an mx 440 go chip in it, I haven't messed with it in over a year... thinking I probably should soon lol | 13:12 |
| michealPW | It gets to the lightDM loading screen but then the computer freezes... | 13:13 |
| michealPW | Any thoughts? :\ | 13:13 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW try ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-alt-backspace | 13:13 |
| michealPW | Just did them, not doing anything :( | 13:13 |
| TuxLof | ... | 13:13 |
| michealPW | Using U buntu 12.04. | 13:13 |
| billy1 | Gnea: :D anyway... After installation, my desktop is working just fine, until I decided to copy old backedup /home/user/ files | 13:13 |
| Gnea | billy1: also, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-96.43.23-driver.html | 13:14 |
| C8H10N4O2 | NM i needed full path to backup location not just a file name | 13:14 |
| billy1 | Gnea: let me see... | 13:14 |
| Gnea | billy1: check the 'release date' and the 'supported products' tab | 13:15 |
| billy1 | Gnea: Is this new??? I must have missed it for weeks now. | 13:15 |
| truexfan81 | anyone ever known the boot-repair app to fail? | 13:16 |
| Gnea | billy1: the trick is, you do NOT want to download and use the driver from that site! you need to make sure that you use the packaged driver from the ubuntu repository, which should be up to date with that release | 13:16 |
| billy1 | Gnea: I thought I was having file permission issues due to the old files I copied back to my home folder | 13:16 |
| the_dudez0r | XiaolinDraconis, ok sounds good | 13:16 |
| billy1 | Gnea: exactly | 13:16 |
| Gnea | billy1: that could be possible, if you have a .so file linked in correctly in a dot-directory | 13:16 |
| billy1 | I've downloaded the latest from the repo. Well... Yeah... let me know what to tinker. | 13:17 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i think i need some alternate display driver, i have onboard graphics, any attempt to change resolution results in the screen seeming to tear itself apart | 13:17 |
| billy1 | Gnea: how do I proceed? | 13:17 |
| Gnea | billy1: well, I'm finding some discussion revolving around instability issues of the 96 driver in precise due to some abi inconsistancy issues... | 13:18 |
| michealPW | MonkeyDust: Wait, do I have to switch to another virtual (text) terminal in order to use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or Ctrl+Alt+Delete ? | 13:19 |
| Gnea | billy1: of course, this was all back in the beginning of summer, it might be fixed now? | 13:19 |
| billy1 | Gnea: Okay... is there a way to test the .so file if linked with an incorrect dot directory? I wish they were. I just installed 12.04 two weeks ago. | 13:19 |
| wols_ | michealPW: if you can switch to a different terminal, you don't need ctrl+alt+backspace. which is disabled by default anyways I thought | 13:20 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW it was just a hint, i don't use kde | 13:20 |
| michealPW | wols_: I can switch to a virtual terminal but I can't seem to get KDE to log-off. Using sudo shutdown now just hangs the PC :\ | 13:20 |
| michealPW | It doesn't properly shutdown. It gets to LightDM and hangs. | 13:20 |
| ripthejacker | need help about networking | 13:20 |
| Gnea | billy1: I would just make a new account and login and test with that. if it works and your other account doesn't, then it's time to backup important files and migrate to the new account. | 13:21 |
| ripthejacker | i use a pppoe internet connection which is named ppp0 and it is set as the default route | 13:21 |
| billy1 | Gnea: Oh... I will try that. Thanks. I'll be back if things don't work out. bye all. Thanks! | 13:21 |
| ripthejacker | but i want to use an app that uses eth0 as route | 13:21 |
| ripthejacker | how can i do it please help | 13:21 |
| Gnea | billy1: however, it's usually the flash plugin .so that a browser uses that tends to be an issue... | 13:21 |
| billy1 | Gnea: Yeah... I'm having issues there too! | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | !ppp | ripthejacker start here | 13:22 |
| ubottu | ripthejacker start here: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 13:22 |
| billy1 | Gnea: Adobe flash plugin version 10 or is it 11?? just won't work. I'm currently using gnash... and it's not fast. | 13:22 |
| Gnea | billy1: since the driver was updated just last month, it's a good bet that it will simply work | 13:23 |
| Gnea | billy1: get rid of gnash | 13:23 |
| Gnea | billy1: the flash driver is going to suck if your base video 3d driver sucks | 13:23 |
| benza | okay so i got ubunut install to work, just got same problem, no mouse or keyboard function, using a dell laptop.. | 13:23 |
| billy1 | Gnea: youtube and other sites just give me a white screen with nothing on it. Yeah... I will get rid of it, but I need something that works. I think so too. | 13:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | when did grub2 supercede grub in the images? | 13:24 |
| michealPW | Ugh this is crazy. | 13:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | at which release? | 13:24 |
| eliano | Hi ! How can I install the MATE DE on Ubuntu ? Thanks ! | 13:24 |
| Gnea | billy1: this is what I use: ii adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.238-0precise1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 | 13:24 |
| wols_ | michealPW: /etc/init.d/ligthdm stop | 13:25 |
| wols_ | TheLordOfTime: distrowatch knows | 13:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | wols_, so does Ubottu | 13:25 |
| billy1 | At least right now, I can play kobodeluxe. back in 12.04, I can't. Yeah, I've tried that both in precise and lucid. just not working here. | 13:25 |
| iceroot | wols_: sudo service lightdm stop | 13:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | !grub2 > wols_ | 13:25 |
| ubottu | wols_, please see my private message | 13:25 |
| jrib | TheLordOfTime: pretty long time ago | 13:25 |
| michealPW | thx wols_ | 13:25 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW dirty work around: ctrl-alt F1 sudo init 6 | 13:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | jrib, yep, ubottu knows things ;P | 13:25 |
| Eagleman | TJ- i am able to use vpn on my phone with cynogenmod but i am not sure about the ta.key | 13:25 |
| michealPW | I will try that. From a virtual text terminal or using Konsole in KDE (Or does it matter?) | 13:25 |
| michealPW | brb | 13:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | jrib, 9.10 is when it switched according to ubottu | 13:26 |
| Gnea | billy1: once you solve the nvidia driver problem, most, if not all of your other problems should be solved | 13:26 |
| billy1 | Gnea: I hope so too. I will first try the new account. | 13:26 |
| Kharec | §c | 13:28 |
| billy1 | Okay... I will exit now. Thanks Gnea and you other guys for helping. I'll be back if the solution given doesn't work. Thanks! :) | 13:28 |
| benza | how to get grub to load when ubuntu loads, do i press e or shift? | 13:28 |
| DJones | benza: shift should display the grub menu | 13:29 |
| wols_ | benza: left shift | 13:29 |
| benza | ok | 13:29 |
| michealPW | Sweet, thx wols_ | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW was the init 6 trick useful to you ? | 13:30 |
| michealPW | That /etc/init.d/lightdm stop brought down kde and everything, then it seemed to sit in a black text terminal with a bit of output from when it was stopping services so I use ctrl+alt+del at that point to fully restart. | 13:30 |
| michealPW | I didnt' try the init 6, lightdm worked immediatly from Konsole in KDE heehee! | 13:31 |
| tryptamine | hey | 13:31 |
| michealPW | So I'm not sure what the problem is. I fixed it last time by renaming my ~/.kde and relogging in. | 13:31 |
| michealPW | Iunno. I think it's me playing with this ~/.config/autostart directory | 13:31 |
| michealPW | Seems to break KDE. | 13:32 |
| tuxmatt | hey all | 13:33 |
| deanfx | morning | 13:33 |
| tuxmatt | any one needing any help today | 13:33 |
| michealPW | Is there a guide or manual or something for this white mail-icon on Ubuntu 12.04 Unity? | 13:33 |
| tuxmatt | deanfx, good morning to you to man | 13:33 |
| tuxmatt | michaelni, try to google for a ebook on it | 13:33 |
| MonkeyDust | tuxmatt other timezone | 13:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | !google | tuxmatt | 13:34 |
| ubottu | tuxmatt: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 13:34 |
| michealPW | It seems to have chat and mail functionality but it's not useful.. I click "Mail" and it brings up Thunderbird... I have new emails but it's not alerting me or doing anything useful :\ | 13:34 |
| arshavin | anyone using xubuntu 12.10 already | 13:34 |
| Pici | arshavin: probably some folks in #ubuntu+1 | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | arshavin ask in #ubunutu+ | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | arshavin ask in #ubuntu+1 | 13:34 |
| arshavin | I seem to have a problem with my dsktop icon fonts,I want to change the fonts but there is no setting to do that | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | arshavin it may be because 12.10 is not stable, yet, better ask in #ubuntu+1 | 13:35 |
| tuxmatt | ubottu, he ask about a Guid white mail icon so i cannot asnswer hes question on the icons | 13:35 |
| ubottu | tuxmatt: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:35 |
| michealPW | tuxmatt: I dont' even know the name of this applet, it's completely unintuitive. There's no "About", no "Help" in the menu it's just an unlabeled mail envolope-icon without so much as a simple tooltip.... | 13:35 |
| === florin is now known as Guest89065 | ||
| tuxmatt | michaelni, why are you having problems with a icon for | 13:36 |
| Nine_9 | hey guy, how can i edit the first post on the forums (and the topic name)? | 13:36 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, , why are you having problems with a icon for | 13:36 |
| michealPW | It pulls in all kinds of random functions from random apps.. There's a bunch of Chat-related functions. There's a mail function. There's an "UbuntuOne" function, there's some undescriptive "clear" function... | 13:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | Nine_9, ubuntuforums.org? | 13:37 |
| michealPW | Something called "Liferea", whatever that spells :\ | 13:37 |
| Nine_9 | TheLordOfTime: yep. there's no edit button there | 13:37 |

| michealPW | Ugh. Maybe I'm just too tired and cranky to deal with Ubuntu's BS. | 13:38 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, lol | 13:38 |
| michealPW | In KDE there's a very intuitive mail-envolope that's clearly labeled as KMail and seamlessly integrates with my Live Mail account.. | 13:39 |
| michealPW | I log-in to KDE and the mail-envolope shakes, showing a little "1" and a "+" to indicate I have 1 unread new mail.. | 13:39 |
| michealPW | I can click it and get my mail... Ubuntu Unity, though? Nope! | 13:39 |
| amos__ | if a printer is configured nicely but doesnt print wat might be the problem pls help | 13:40 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, it may be a system problem with verson of ubuntu you are running | 13:40 |
| Nine_9 | TheLordOfTime: ok. thanks | 13:40 |
| michealPW | It's some totaly unituitive mail-envolope that does NOT change when I have a new mail, it does NOT integrate at all with my mail it's just a stupid link to Thunderbird haha why not I just open Thunderbird from the Launcher menu?? | 13:40 |
| bazhang | amos__, what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer | 13:40 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW some 230 people in #kubuntu maybe they can help | 13:40 |
| michealPW | It isn't even labeled, I don't even know what program is behind this mail-envolope on Ubuntu 12.04 Unity. | 13:40 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, ive always had problems with kde why dont you try gnomw and se ehow that goes | 13:40 |
| michealPW | It's not a problem with KDE, like I just said.. KDE works perfectly fine in that regard and makes perfect sense. It's Ubuntu's UNITY that does not make any sense LOL. | 13:41 |
| michealPW | Anyways nevermind. | 13:41 |
| bazhang | amos__, you did check earlier when I asked you , right? | 13:41 |
| michealPW | I'll see what I can't figure out on my own ffs. | 13:41 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, yes this is gnome for ubuntu :) but really its best to go wuth gnome :) | 13:41 |
| michealPW | Seriously, KDE is not the problem... | 13:41 |
| michealPW | You're missing what I'm saying, or something. Just don't worry about it :P | 13:41 |
| VRIL | unity=crap | 13:42 |
| bazhang | michealPW, then dont use unity | 13:42 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, i had problems in the past with it | 13:42 |
| bazhang | VRIL, take it elsewhere | 13:42 |
| hilarie | Working on a screen shot, running lubuntu 12.04 5MB.zip Total size of files: 5.2MB Size on Disk 41.9MB | 13:42 |
| bazhang | !notunity | michealPW | 13:42 |
| ubottu | michealPW: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 13:42 |
| hilarie | How?! | 13:42 |
| VRIL | bazhang, seeking my attention as usual | 13:42 |
| amos__ | Bazhang: everything is well i checked it the drivers are all there but whe i print it just says job completed but no output on the printer | 13:42 |
| bazhang | amos__, and what did the linuxprinting.org say about that printer, which drivers to use | 13:43 |
| MonkeyDust | VRIL you're free to not use unity, if you don't like it | 13:43 |
| VRIL | i know this MonkeyDust | 13:43 |
| ripthejacker | MonkeyDust, its not dial up, its cable modem | 13:43 |
| ripthejacker | pppoe | 13:43 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, try sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 13:43 |
| michealPW | omg, no! | 13:44 |
| michealPW | WTH man? That's not a solution to this problem.. | 13:45 |
| hilarie | http://imagebin.org/232159 | 13:45 |
| amos__ | no it said i check the database n i found the printer | 13:45 |
| michealPW | I alraedy have GNOME 3 and KDE 4 installed alongside Unity. | 13:45 |
| hilarie | Is the screenshot of this madness | 13:45 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, whats rong dude | 13:45 |
| bazhang | michealPW, what is the exact issue. keep it all on ONE line | 13:45 |
| tuxmatt | bazhang, hes having problems with hes icons | 13:45 |
| michealPW | Using Ubuntu 12.04 Unity, there is a mail-envolope Icon that is not labeled and completely unintuitive. It's not animating to show I have new mail. When I click it, I get a whole bunch of random functions from Chat, to UbuntuOne to Mail, to some stupdi thing called "Liferea".. What is this icon and how do I make it useful or go away? | 13:46 |
| amos__ | Bahzang: no it said i check the database n i found the printer | 13:46 |
| michealPW | On ALL OTHER systems, there is a mail-envolope icon that actually works and is useful. On Unity, this icon is not useful and it does not work. | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW i guess you can do that in dconf, somewhere (liferea is an RSS reader, i love it) | 13:47 |
| michealPW | Well a tooltip.. A help, a manual.. Heck even a NAME for this mail-envolope would be nice. Then I could at least google the program's name and learn about how to configure it.. There's nothing. | 13:48 |
| michealPW | I click it, tehre's no help, no about and it doesnt' even show a name for itself. Anyone know what it is, how I can configure it and if I can't how do I remoev it and replace it with something that actually works? :P | 13:48 |
| arshavin | one has to use gnome because most softwares are gnome compatible on linux,with gtk3 and all that stuff | 13:48 |
| michealPW | That's my only questions :P | 13:48 |
| hilarie | Anyone? my google fu has failed me, only thing I can find reference to is that happens with many files, this is only 1, and before I start transferring alot to it, I need to find out if I need to fix something first, du -h shows the right file size | 13:48 |
| Pici | michealPW: its an indicator icon, but I don't know what the standard one is called. | 13:48 |
| michealPW | arsh: You can use whichever you want. YOu can run GNOME programs in KDE, it just takes up a big more ram. These days most PCs have an insane amount of ram so its' not an issue at all | 13:49 |
| michealPW | Pici: Ah, thanks. That gives me something to work with at least! :P | 13:49 |
| michealPW | Let me make a screenshot, guys... | 13:49 |
| michealPW | Maybe I'm just not expressing my words properly LOL! | 13:49 |
| bazhang | indicator-applet-complete michealPW is what it's called | 13:50 |
| tuxmatt | michealPW, thanks i want to see it to you care to give it to me too as well | 13:50 |
| MonkeyDust | michealPW try dconf-editor - com - canonical - indicator | 13:50 |
| xpistos | Hi all. Is there a way to get remmina to us the wireless network and use the rest of ubuntu to use the wired one? | 13:50 |
| arshavin | installing softwares meant for other DE's install insane amount of dependencies for that DE | 13:51 |
| michealPW | http://i49.tinypic.com/2w4bb6v.png | 13:53 |
| hilarie | I guess what I am trying to say, is http://imagebin.org/232159 normal? | 13:53 |
| michealPW | Here's screenshot with professional-quality editing. | 13:53 |
| michealPW | :) | 13:53 |
| michealPW | Ah perfect, thanks guys! That's exactly what I wanted to know (indicator-applet-complete and dconf-editor) | 13:53 |
| michealPW | brb to do some research! | 13:53 |
| hilarie | michealPW, everything about your UI makes me sad | 13:53 |
| michealPW | hilarie: Me too! It drievs me absolutely INSANE... Seriously, Unity drives me NUTS. | 13:54 |
| michealPW | The way it hides things and friggin' argh.. | 13:54 |
| michealPW | I'm seeing if I get used to it, though. I use KDE and GNOME 3 more, my wife likes Unity (That's why it has to work..) | 13:54 |
| billy1 | Hello There. Is Gnea still here? | 13:54 |
| hilarie | michealPW, switch to Lubuntu, see light... | 13:54 |
| michealPW | No way, my wife loves Unity :( | 13:54 |
| michealPW | hehe | 13:55 |
| michealPW | My pleasure using Lubuntu is not worth dealing with my upset wife :( | 13:55 |
| hilarie | "It just broke honey, and I can never get it back" | 13:55 |
| michealPW | LMAO | 13:55 |
| michealPW | "Canonical got rid of Unity, honestly!" | 13:55 |
| michealPW | (rofl) | 13:55 |
| hilarie | That's what got win7 off of the wifes laptop... | 13:55 |
| IdleOne | Can we keep the chit chat to an minimum and focus on actual support please | 13:55 |
| michealPW | haha | 13:55 |
| bazhang | !ot | michealPW | 13:55 |
| ubottu | michealPW: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 13:55 |
| brontosaurusrex | hunny, thats new, came with updates > lubuntu | 13:55 |
| arshavin | unity needs radical changes to compete with DE's,infact I am begining to feel more comfortable with gnome3 after using unity for about a month | 13:56 |
| hilarie | Hey, I am just killing time, until someone can explain this oddity http://imagebin.org/232159 | 13:57 |
| quiliro | hi...does ubuntu use devmon? | 13:57 |
| xpistos | anyone know where I can get some remmina support for ubuntu 12.04? | 13:57 |
| bazhang | arshavin, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:57 |
| billy1 | I just would like to share this with you guys. I created another account. I logged in to it... created a folder, logged out, logged back in, and there is the folder. It seems like the problem is now solved. However, when I rebooted and logged back in to that newly created account, lo and behold! No folder on the desktop, and I can't seem to right click on anywhere it. I logged out. Then logged back in to the old account, and there are the desktop items! ;D | 13:57 |

| xpistos | MaskilPDX: Yes | 13:59 |
| michealPW | Meh | 13:59 |
| bazhang | michealPW, enough. | 13:59 |
| ThinkT510 | michealPW: you were told to stop the commentry | 13:59 |
| michealPW | Right, like my support issues? :\ | 13:59 |
| xpistos | MaskilPDX: I need to know how to get Remmina to use my wireless instead of the wired connection so it will be on a seperate network | 13:59 |
| gordonjcp | michealPW: "it's new and I don't like it" isn't a support issue | 14:00 |

| mckoan | hi I am using 12.04 and I am facing to a problem, if I call "chroot . " I get an error "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory" | 14:12 |
| mckoan | I never get it before | 14:12 |
| mckoan | with older versions | 14:12 |
| mckoan | any clue? | 14:12 |
| L3top | mckoan are you sure that the filesystem you are chrooting is in tact? | 14:12 |
| mckoan | L3top: what do you mean with "in tact" ? | 14:13 |
| wols_ | mckoan: not corrupted in any way | 14:13 |
| L3top | mckoan: A valid filesystem. | 14:13 |
| DrShoggoth | http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intact | 14:13 |
| DrShoggoth | mckoan, mkdir ./bin; cp /bin/bash .bin | 14:14 |
| DrShoggoth | hmm.. no | 14:15 |
| quiliro | L3top: i am trying to make a udev rule for a device....it should check if the parent device is a certain usb port | 14:16 |
| L3top | mckoan: would you like to backup a bit and explain what you are chrooting and why? | 14:16 |
| sasuke | hello guys , i want to go through source codes for linux cmds. I am using "sudo apt-get source cp", but its telling unable to find a source package. Can someone tell me where can i see the source codes | 14:18 |
| L3top | quiliro: I would go at it from: udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/disk/by-path/blahblahblah if I understand you correctly... and gather what is needed from there. | 14:19 |
| quiliro | it should check if the parent device (port) of a usb memory that has beed just plugged-in is a certain usb port and assign a symlink to the usb memory | 14:19 |
| jrib | sasuke: dpkg -S $(which cp) will tell you the package that provides the "cp" command | 14:19 |
| llutz | sasuke: coreutils is the package | 14:19 |
| mckoan | L3top, DrShoggoth I am running a script (that have chroot inside) I used with an older version, I just migrated all to 12.04 | 14:19 |
| mckoan | L3top, DrShoggoth ...testing... | 14:20 |
| DrShoggoth | ignore mine | 14:20 |
| DrShoggoth | it will not help | 14:20 |
| L3top | mckoan: so you are already chrooted into it... you just do not have any env set? | 14:20 |
| bogdan_ | hello everyone | 14:20 |
| bogdan_ | is someone willing to help me out with an installation? | 14:20 |
| bogdan_ | first time linux user | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | bogdan_ if you're sweet | 14:20 |
| quiliro | thanks L3top, i have done something similar and found the attributes needed but they correspond to the parent device, i want to assign the symlink to the device and not to its parent | 14:20 |
| bogdan_ | MonkeyDust, I can try | 14:21 |
| quiliro | L3top: nevertheless let me check how it goes with you suggestion | 14:21 |
| bogdan_ | Basically, I am trying to install the following program: http://bigraph.org/bigmc/manual/Obtaining-BigMC.html | 14:21 |
| bogdan_ | I'm on a fresh ubuntu installation, and I believe I have GNU readline and GNU make installed | 14:22 |
| bogdan_ | I have followed the intallation instructions on the bigmc page | 14:22 |
| greasegum | hey I'm getting this crazy bug in xscreensaver when I try to enter an RSS URL as image directory under advanced preferences. help? | 14:22 |
| anomalies | bogdan_, just use apt or synaptic | 14:23 |
| anomalies | especially you are new to linux | 14:23 |
| anomalies | less hassle | 14:23 |
| bogdan_ | this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283170/ | 14:23 |
| bogdan_ | I'm not sure that bigmc is going to be in the repository, though, it's not a widely used piece of software | 14:23 |
| bogdan_ | anyway, the make step fails | 14:23 |
| sasuke | jrib: llutz , its showing the package name. How can i read the code | 14:24 |
| jrib | sasuke: apt-get source coreutils | 14:24 |
| anomalies | what is bigmc? | 14:24 |
| sasuke | jrib, ya did that | 14:24 |
| anomalies | never heard of it | 14:24 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, I doubt that bigMC is going to be in the repository, besides, it's the make step that is failing | 14:24 |
| anomalies | run this if you trying to install from source | 14:25 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, it's this verification software thing | 14:25 |
| anomalies | apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential | 14:25 |
| sasuke | jrib, i think it download some 12Mb archieves | 14:25 |
| anomalies | with or without s | 14:25 |
| anomalies | forgot | 14:25 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, I have installed build-essential | 14:25 |
| bogdan_ | and GNU make and GNU readline, as per the instructions on the bigmc page | 14:25 |
| mckoan | L3top, DrShoggoth it was a stupid error. I was launching it in the wrong path. PLease apologise the noise and thank you for your time ;-) | 14:26 |
| sasuke | jrib, is there any website to view the source codes | 14:26 |
| bogdan_ | So here is the error I am getting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283170/ | 14:26 |
| anomalies | bogdan_, and for what purpose is bigMC? | 14:26 |
| anomalies | never heard of it, ever. | 14:27 |
| jrib | sasuke: maybe. Put "coreutils" in google and try to find the projects site | 14:27 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, it's a university thing, I need to it for my final year project | 14:27 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, basically, you feed it a bigraph and some reaction rules and it checks to see if certain conditions are met | 14:27 |
| jrib | sasuke: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/cp.c | 14:28 |
| sasuke | jrib, ok thnks... i will try to find | 14:28 |
| bogdan_ | not sure if that's relevant, though | 14:28 |
| llutz | sasuke: untar the file you get, cd into the "corutils..../src/ dir and "less cp.c" | 14:28 |
| anomalies | oh.. | 14:28 |
| anomalies | sorry mate, can't help you with that.. | 14:28 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, I doubt there's anything wrong with bigmc, it's just my environment that is probalby wrong | 14:28 |
| bogdan_ | Anyway, if anyone could take a look at my failed attempt at running make, I would be grateful: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283170/ | 14:30 |
| bogdan_ | bigmc page: http://bigraph.org/bigmc/manual/Obtaining-BigMC.html | 14:30 |
| ThinkT510 | !checkinstall | bogdan_ | 14:30 |
| ubottu | bogdan_: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 14:30 |
| sasuke | jrib, llutz : ya got it .. thans guys | 14:30 |
| michealPW | checkinstall sounds interesting | 14:32 |
| jrib | michealPW: :( | 14:32 |
| bogdan_ | thanks for the checkinstall thing, but I don't think that will solve my issues | 14:32 |
| MonkeyDust | bogdan_ better contact the maintainer, Gian Perrone http://itu.dk/~gdpe/ | 14:32 |
| jrib | michealPW: !packaging is more interesting if you want to create a proper package | 14:32 |
| michealPW | bogdan_: What is the issue? Did you follow the build instructions on that site? | 14:32 |
| bogdan_ | MonkeyDust, I did consider that, but the thing hasn;t been updated in like 2 months and this looks like a pretty common error | 14:32 |
| michealPW | I tried to create a package when I was on debian and it was a bad experience LOL. | 14:33 |
| bogdan_ | michealPW, I did stick to the instructions on the website, but the make step is failing for me | 14:33 |
| michealPW | I don't think I ended up being successful after fighting with it for awhile (Warzone 2000something, I can't remember anymore. Back in 2007ish hehe) | 14:33 |
| bogdan_ | you can see the errors here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283170/ | 14:33 |
| michealPW | bogdan_: Ah, righto. Let me check | 14:33 |
| jrib | bogdan_: what happened before make? | 14:33 |
| michealPW | bogdan_: Did you run ./configure before make ? | 14:33 |
| michealPW | And did ./configure run without errors? | 14:34 |
| bogdan_ | michealPW, yes, I believe so | 14:34 |
| michealPW | 'cause that paste just shows a make :\ | 14:34 |
| L3top | mckoan: out of curiosity... what are you doing as chroot... if it involves grub, I have written something to handle that if you want to try it. Chainloading is not yet complete if you were needing that. | 14:34 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, fresh installation of ubuntu, got build-essential, gnu readline6, googleperf | 14:34 |
| anomalies | bogdan_, did you do the 'export=$PATH' | 14:34 |
| bogdan_ | than followed commands on the page | 14:34 |
| anomalies | shit | 14:34 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, the apge would suggest that the export should follow after the installation | 14:34 |
| anomalies | that after no error on installation | 14:34 |
| anomalies | :D | 14:34 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, heh, yeah | 14:35 |
| jrib | bogdan_: what does "got" mean? You need to download the archive, extract it, and run ./configure before running make | 14:35 |
| anomalies | my mistake :D | 14:35 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, I ran sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:35 |
| bogdan_ | for the bigmc, I downloaded the tarball, ran tar on it | 14:35 |
| mckoan | L3top: I am cloning a Compactflash image on a new CF and installing grub at last | 14:35 |
| bogdan_ | then, errr, ./configure | 14:35 |
| bogdan_ | then make | 14:35 |
| jrib | bogdan_: pastebin the ./configure output | 14:36 |
| === serge is now known as Guest93269 | ||
| michealPW | Those errors don't make sense in that context haha (fopen() not declared, wth?) I think your autoconf (./configure) failed and you tried to continue anyways with make. | 14:36 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, was just about to do that, second | 14:36 |
| michealPW | Hrmm | 14:36 |
| AMDAthlon | if i got ubuntu 12.10 beta and when the final version of 12.10 comes out will i have to reinstall? | 14:37 |
| bogdan_ | michealPW, jrib , here is the ./configure output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283186/ | 14:37 |
| michealPW | thx | 14:37 |
| bogdan_ | does that look like failing? I have no idea | 14:37 |
| DJones | AMDAthlon: No, it'll update to final release | 14:37 |
| bazhang | !final | AMDAthlon | 14:38 |
| ubottu | AMDAthlon: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Quantal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 14:38 |
| bogdan_ | there are some "no"s there, but I'm not being told of any bad errors | 14:38 |
| ohnoez | hey guys, i've just changed ssh standart port to non-standart one and everything works fine except sftp now, could u plz give me a hint? i failed to find an answer on my own lol thx and sorry for my english | 14:38 |
| anomalies | ohnoez, man sftp | 14:38 |
| michealPW | Hrmm | 14:39 |
| michealPW | Isn't there more to the output or no? | 14:39 |
| michealPW | Just a second | 14:40 |
| michealPW | Let me try something | 14:40 |
| anomalies | bogdan_, i did download the bigmc | 14:40 |
| bogdan_ | michealPW, no, tha tshould be it | 14:41 |
| anomalies | do you run ./autogen.sh ? | 14:41 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, can you install it properly? | 14:41 |
| bogdan_ | anomalies, no, should I? | 14:41 |
| jrib | bogdan_: I got it to build but had to edit graph.cpp and include stdio.h :/ Maybe ask the author about it | 14:41 |
| anomalies | that's jrib made it | 14:41 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, were you getting the same error as me before that? | 14:42 |
| jrib | bogdan_: yes | 14:42 |
| anomalies | you should mention the author to make the changes | 14:42 |
| jrib | bogdan_: apparently it's a change in recent gcc | 14:42 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, cool, let me see if that works | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | bogdan_ maybe you can help the maintainer with developping the thing | 14:43 |
| bogdan_ | MonkeyDust, if this fixes the install, I'll send an email his way | 14:43 |
| quiliro | L3top: I found the distinct ID_PATH="pci-0000:00:12.2-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0" for a device connected to that specific usb port | 14:43 |
| quiliro | any usb device | 14:43 |
| quiliro | memomory | 14:43 |
| L3top | quiliro: This is what you wanted yes? | 14:44 |
| bogdan_ | jrib, yes, that fixed it. Cheers for the help! | 14:45 |
| greek | How can I check if my server is 32 or 64 bit? | 14:45 |
| deadmund | uname -a | 14:45 |
| anomalies | uname -an | 14:46 |
| jrib | bogdan_: more standard way may be to include cstdio instead of stdio.h by the way. I guess you have to look more into what changed in gcc(?) and if it's intentional | 14:46 |
| greek | deadmund, it says x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:46 |
| ohnoez | anomalies, but shouldn't it listen on port mentioned in sshd config by default? i'm kinda frustrated | 14:46 |
| greek | I'm guessing 64 bit then | 14:46 |
| anomalies | it's 64bit then | 14:46 |
| deadmund | 64 bit | 14:46 |

| jackhill | Hello, I would like to disallow user shutdown from lightdm/lightdm-greeter-kde. How can I do this (the documentation appears to be lacking)? | 14:46 |
| quiliro | L3top: yes, thank you... but i cannot figure how to use that to make a udev rule...i know how with this parameter...would this do the job: | 14:47 |
| quiliro | ACTION=="add", ID_PATH=="pci-0000:00:12.2-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", SYMLINK+="usb_derecho" | 14:47 |
| quiliro | sorry for the flood | 14:47 |
| quiliro | i am new to using irc in a big chatroom | 14:48 |
| quiliro | it is nob ig deal in a small one | 14:48 |
| quiliro | L3top: or is it just one equal sign? | 14:49 |
| quiliro | because the parameter had just one | 14:50 |
| L3top | quiliro: Yes it should be... sorry wife has me doing something atm... gimme a min. | 14:50 |
| quiliro | on the other hand udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdb1) uses two = | 14:51 |
| Sunny_ | Hi Guys | 14:52 |
| barry_ | how do i find what wireless card i have in my laptop? | 14:52 |
| quiliro | lspci barry_ | 14:53 |
| quiliro | lshw | 14:53 |
| deadmund | barry_: sudo lspci -k (it will be listed in there) using -k shows the driver / modules available and the one that is being used | 14:53 |
| quiliro | that too | 14:53 |
| deadmund | barry_: If it doesn't list it you can also try lsusb | 14:53 |
| Sunny_ | I am facing a issue with ubuntu-one in 12.04 | 14:53 |
| barry_ | deadmund, the problem i have is i was running linuxmint 9 which found my wireless driver for me, i install xubuntu and it doesnt find it for me :( | 14:55 |
| deadmund | barry_: Yeah, I'm not really surprised. Usually wifi cards require proprietary software / firmware and linux mint installs this by default but ubuntu does not. I am very good with wifi cards. What card do you have? | 14:55 |
| barry_ | deadmund, Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card | 14:56 |
| barry_ | deadmund, im still learning linux i appreciate it | 14:57 |
| deadmund | barry_: what is the chipset? (no problem). Can you paste the relevant line for lspci in the channel or post the entire lspci output here: paste.ubuntu.com | 14:57 |
| dalton2345 | everyone still learning well i think :) | 14:57 |
| michealPW | Got disconnected, sorry. Did you have any luck, bogdan_ ? | 14:59 |
| barry_ | deadmund, how do i find out the chipset? | 14:59 |
| deadmund | barry_: The chipset is in the output of lspci, 1370 might be the chipset or it might be the model number. I can't tell, sort of have to play it by feel there. | 15:00 |
| deadmund | It appears to be the model number | 15:00 |
| deadmund | judging by google results | 15:00 |
| barry_ | deadmund, cant find the model number all i get is: 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 15:02 |
| Zarko | Ubuntu question | 15:02 |
| deadmund | the model number is BCM4318 | 15:02 |
| deadmund | I recognize it from other cards. | 15:02 |
| deadmund | just a second | 15:02 |
| barry_ | deadmund, ok | 15:03 |
| OerHeks | !bcm | 15:03 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 15:03 |
| deadmund | barry_: Is the computer connected to the internet in some other way right now? | 15:03 |
| barry_ | ye using ethernet atm | 15:03 |
| OerHeks | barry_, " sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer " and reboot | 15:04 |
| deadmund | barry_: The guide that was posted by ubottu is accurate and helpful but it's detailed. I can tell you right now you need to install (using apt-get) firmware-b43-installer | 15:04 |
| deadmund | Yep :) | 15:04 |
| deadmund | Then you can either restart or run sudo modprobe b43 | 15:04 |
| dalton2345 | its strange usually ubuntu is good to find the wifi | 15:05 |
| deadmund | It did find it. Ubuntu refuses to install proprietary firmware without user intervention | 15:05 |
| deadmund | OerHeks: I think the firmware- package depends on the fwcutter | 15:05 |
| OerHeks | deadmund, yes, you need them both. | 15:05 |
| barry_ | deadmund, installed so i should reboot? ye it found my other laptop | 15:05 |
| deadmund | OerHeks: :) | 15:05 |
| deadmund | barry_: You can reboot or run sudo modprobe b43 | 15:06 |
| deadmund | (modprobe is faster) | 15:06 |
| barry_ | deadmund, what is it? and how do you know this incase i need to no in the future | 15:06 |
| deadmund | barry_: what is modprobe? modprobe is a command that inserts modules (drivers) into the system. You can think of it as 'turning the driver on' | 15:07 |
| barry_ | oh ok brb | 15:07 |
| deadmund | barry_: When you boot, all relevant drivers for the system are modprobed automatically for you. The driver was not modprobed before because the firmware was missing | 15:07 |
| ArunC | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit desktop edition on VM. I have installed LAMP on it. I've also installed PHPMyAdmin. But I'm not able to login with MySQL root user/passwd, although http://localhost/phpmyadmin displays the login page. | 15:09 |
| ArunC | Any idea where I could be going wrong? | 15:09 |
| barry_ | deadmund, ok done :) so what would be the steps to doing all this, i mean talk me though it in noob term incase i need it again for anothe machine or to help someone else? | 15:11 |
| barry_ | deadmund, ok done :) so what would be the steps to doing all this, i mean talk me though it in noob term incase i need it again for another machine or to help someone else? | 15:12 |
| deadmund | barry_: First I found out from you the wifi chipset. Then I used my knowledge and experience to determine which driver you need. Then I used more knowledge and experience to determine that you need firmware for the driver to work. Then I looked up here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ the package that provides that firmware. Then I told you to install that package. Then we turned on the driver by rebooting | 15:12 |
| deadmund | Now, the guide that ubottu posted is useful for getting b43xx cards to work (most of them). This website: http://linuxwireless.org/ is good for looking up other cards / drivers | 15:13 |
| deadmund | barry_: However, 9 / 10 you have a card that doesn't work, it's a b43 card and you need to install that firmware package (firmware-b43-installer) | 15:14 |
| deadmund | It took me about 2 years to figure that out. When I started using linux in 2007 | 15:14 |
| michealPW | I fixed it, bogdan | 15:14 |
| L3top | deadmund: and b43-fwcutter | 15:15 |
| dr_willis | that 'additional-drivers' tool should show the needed packages i thought. | 15:15 |
| deadmund | firmware-b43-installer does the b43-fwcutter stuff for you. | 15:15 |
| deadmund | but yeah | 15:15 |
| michealPW | You have to add a line to your graph.cpp to explicitly include the standard I/O header (#include <stdio.h>) | 15:15 |
| riqdiiz | hello friends where Can I get mp3codecs for Ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| deadmund | "and b43-fwcutter" to extract the firmware | 15:15 |
| deadmund | dr_willis: That thing never works! :P | 15:15 |
| michealPW | For some reason, graph.cpp does not have that include statement and the standard I/O headers are not being included (It shoul dbe pulled in from main.cpp, I don't know what G++'s problem is :P ) | 15:15 |
| dr_willis | deadmund: seems to work well for me | 15:16 |
| Zarko | Ubuntu question | 15:16 |
| deadmund | It can't tell if drivers are loaded or not, it usually fails without telling when when it tries to load them, it doesn't see certain hardware | 15:16 |
| Pici | Zarko: You need to acually ask your question before someone can help. | 15:16 |
| ArunC | I have installed LAMP on my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I've also installed PHPMyAdmin. But I'm not able to login with MySQL root user/passwd, although http://localhost/phpmyadmin displays the login page. | 15:16 |
| deadmund | dr_willis: Perhaps I gave up on it too long ago | 15:16 |
| zizi_ | hi | 15:16 |
| dr_willis | riqdiiz: the ubuntu-restricted-extras package should install them and moar you may want | 15:16 |
| ArunC | any idea where i could be going wrong? | 15:16 |
| zizi_ | i just lost an libreoffice file because kubuntu crashed | 15:16 |
| deadmund | barry_: the additional-drivers tool can be helpful too. Effectively does everything I did for you automatically (i.e. knowing what driver to use and getting the firmware packages and so on) | 15:17 |
| zizi_ | i cheked my home folder for .libreoffice folder to recover it but the folder doesn exist | 15:17 |
| zizi_ | can i do somethin else? | 15:17 |
| dr_willis | turn on autosave every 5 min.... perhaps for the future | 15:18 |
| dr_willis | dosent libreoffice have a recovery feature? | 15:18 |
| ArunC | hello? | 15:18 |
| dr_willis | hello ArunC | 15:19 |
| MonkeyDust | zizi_ maybe in ~/.config/libreoffice/ | 15:19 |
| ArunC | I have installed LAMP on my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I've also installed PHPMyAdmin. But I'm not able to login with MySQL root user/passwd, although http://localhost/phpmyadmin displays the login page. | 15:19 |
| ArunC | Any idea where i could be going wrong? | 15:19 |
| L3top | ArunC: You do have a password correct? | 15:19 |
| ArunC | dr_willis: ^^ | 15:20 |
| nibbler_ | i just reinstalled 12.04, and ever since my flash_plugin fullscreen mode, and other fullscreens modes get confused with my gnome-classic menu- and task bars. i remember having this and that it was a simple fix, but can't remember how.. any hints? | 15:20 |
| ArunC | L3top: Yes, I can access it with mysql -uroot -p | 15:20 |
| riqdiiz | Drwillis I have enabled the repository but it won't burge :( could it be I'm using a bad server? | 15:20 |
| dr_willis | ArunC: i know diddly about lamp/mysql.. thates why i said nothing earlier... | 15:20 |
| L3top | ArunC: at the bottom of the phpmyadmin page there is a dropdown... do you have two localhost options? If so choose the lower one. | 15:21 |
| ArunC | L3top: No, I can't see the option you are saying. I can see only a language drop down, username and password inputs and a Go (submit) button. | 15:22 |
| nibbler_ | ArunC: you might want to check your apache and mysql logs while you try to log in | 15:24 |
| nibbler_ | ArunC: tail -fn0 /var/log/* | 15:24 |
| ArunC | nibbler_: OK, let me check that.. | 15:24 |
| riqdiiz | how can I stay here permanent without the Dbanlist issue? | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | dban list issue? | 15:25 |
| riqdiiz | yeah my client sometimes gives me that my IP is on some banned list .. | 15:27 |
| MonkeyDust | riqdiiz the best way is: don't give people or services a reason to ban you | 15:27 |
| riqdiiz | and disconnects! | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | ask in #freenode perhaps | 15:27 |
| nibbler_ | riqdiiz: use a proxy/bouncer/shell or change your isp? | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | a proxy, or vpn, is handy. but may cost $ | 15:28 |
| riqdiiz | can you install those on android? | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | also using ssl to connect can help in some cases | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | android can use proxys and vpn and ssl | 15:29 |
| === owen is now known as Guest28189 | ||
| zizi_ | monkeydust, thank you very much!! i love you | 15:29 |
| ArunC | nibbler_: Weird, now even the login page is not loading and there are no logs rotating in /var/log/ | 15:29 |
| riqdiiz | ssl needs. some registration ? | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | every so often id have to 'reconnect' my phone to get a new ip to connect. with ssl i dont have to any more | 15:30 |

| azl | Hii | 15:31 |
| rohan_ | I want to upgrade ubuntu to 12.10. But I don't want to install all the softwares again. Is it possible? | 15:31 |
| OerHeks | rohan_, you do want new software. | 15:31 |
| nibbler_ | rohan_: thats why its called an upgrade and not a reinstall ;-) | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | upgradeing upgrades everything.. so your not being clear | 15:31 |
| Shadow`` | do-release-upgrade? | 15:31 |
| michealPW | For the archives, here's the modified graph.cpp for BigMC which compiles fine under Ubuntu 12.04 with build-essential package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283273/ | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | do-release-upgrade -d for development releases Shadow`` , rohan_ | 15:32 |
| rohan_ | nibbler_: So I dont have to install my current softwares? | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | rohan_: it upgrades whats installed now... | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | roh your current software will be upgraded , you will not have to reinstall if you follow the above method | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | rohan_,^ | 15:34 |
| ArunC | nibbler_: Looks like there are some errors in the apache2 logs. But nothing in mysql logs.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1283283/ | 15:34 |
| riqdiiz | does this channel require registration? | 15:34 |
| nibbler_ | rohan_: everything you installed via the ubuntu repositories should just be upgraded in the process. you get a warning about packaged that are not supported anymore (not many, wont matter most likely) and stuff you installed your self you have to take care yourself | 15:34 |
| rohan_ | thnx BluesKaj | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | riqdiiz: this one, no. but many others do | 15:35 |
| MonkeyDust | nibbler_ if packages are no longer updated or available, you can delete them with apt-get autoremove | 15:35 |
| nibbler_ | ArunC: i don't know phpmyadmin too well, but thats your error for sure (if timestamp is recent) | 15:35 |
| MonkeyDust | nibbler_ that was for rohan_ | 15:35 |
| nibbler_ | okay ;-) | 15:35 |
| michealPW | ArunC: You have a setting in your php.ini that restricts the use of functions like require() | 15:35 |
| MonkeyDust | rohan_ if packages are no longer updated or available, you can delete them with apt-get autoremove | 15:36 |
| ArunC | nibbler_: thanks | 15:36 |
| ArunC | michealPW: Oh, let me look at it. | 15:36 |
| nibbler_ | ArunC: welcome. | 15:36 |
| rohan_ | thnx | 15:36 |
| michealPW | ArunC: open_basedir is the option. It can be used to specify a list of safe locations that functions such as require() can and cannot read to. Your open_basedir prevents your functions from looking in directories that they're trying to look in :P | 15:36 |
| pyoor | Hi all. I'm trying to install gcc-3.4 from Jaunty's repos. I'm having an issue with my /etc/apt/sources.list -- I've added the following line to get access to the Jaunty repos but gcc-3.4 still isn't found | 15:37 |
| pyoor | deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main restricted | 15:37 |
| riqdiiz | dr_willis: thanks buddy then this is home :) | 15:37 |
| MonkeyDust | pyoor it's because jaunty is dead | 15:37 |
| jpmh | I have an rsa_id file that is not in the default .ssh directory. I want lftp when is sftp mode to use this file, how do I tell it where to look for the file | 15:37 |
| michealPW | ArunC: So, PHPMyAdmin pulls PHP from a bunch of different files, using the require() function and also the file() function. Your php config blocked these includes and that's why you got this fatal error: Call to undefined function PMA_sanitize(); PMA_sanitize() is likely declared in one of those files that was not allowed to be required (included) | 15:38 |
| pyoor | MonkeyDust: I was able to add that repo a week ago on a different machine but I deleted the VM without saving the sources.list | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | pyoor: deb-src is for the source packages. not the binariey pCKAGES | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | oops | 15:38 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: ok, thanks | 15:38 |
| * dr_willis has no idea why one would want jaunty ;) | 15:39 | |
| Malimbar | alright... after loading kubuntu, removing it with a script someone privided, and removing the automatically installed stuff with an auto-cleanup command... one of my programs is complaining about not having libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 | 15:39 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: I have an app that requires gcc-3.4 | 15:39 |
| riqdiiz | is jaunty really dead? | 15:39 |
| ArunC | michealPW: open_basedir option is commented out. | 15:39 |
| pyoor | it's in a test environment and I only need it for this 1 app so running an EOL OS doesn't bother me much | 15:39 |
| Malimbar | and apt-get says that that file doesn't exist | 15:39 |
| dr_willis | pyoor: and what release are yoiu using now? | 15:39 |
| ArunC | ;open_basedir = | 15:39 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: I'm installing this on 10.04 | 15:40 |
| MonkeyDust | riqdiiz since two years now, it has already become liquid | 15:40 |
| dr_willis | pyoor: you are using jaunty in a vm on 10.04? | 15:40 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: no running 10.04 and trying to add the jaunty repo | 15:40 |
| pyoor | I know sounds a bit ridiculous | 15:41 |
| rohan_ | Is it possible to upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 from .iso image and how? | 15:41 |
| pyoor | should have just installed 9.04 and added the old-repo | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | pyoor: i bet it wont work either... | 15:41 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: the only line in my sources.list is that repo and it still won't find the package | 15:41 |
| rad2905 | hi guys | 15:41 |
| rad2905 | I need a quick help if someone is up to | 15:41 |
| michealPW | ArunC: Right. What you want to do is uncomment that and set it to the location of phpMyAdmin or your entire web-root to totaly make the feature be quiet and leave you alone | 15:41 |
| riqdiiz | no that's why I can't get Ubuntu 9.04 to grab some softwares using apt | 15:41 |
| rohan_ | rad2905: go ahead | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | pyoor riqdiiz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Version_timeline | 15:42 |
| rad2905 | aw, thanx | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | pyoor: you did a apt-get update? i suggest using a jaunty instance in a vm instead | 15:42 |
| ArunC | michealPW: :) Thanks, let me try that. | 15:42 |
| michealPW | ArunC: If you're a local developer developing on a local web server, things like open_basedir are not useful to you. It's a way for restricting what PHP developers can do on your server remotely, so that they cannot create a PHP script that starts pulling in code from all over the server hehe | 15:42 |
| pyoor | dr_willis: yes, I have. This is on its own box because as I mentioned, it's a test environment -- no need to virtualize | 15:42 |
| rad2905 | I was wondering what ubuntu edition should I download and install for an older pc, runninng athlon xp 3500+ | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | pyoor, adding a repos to your sources list will just break the packages when you upgrade ..very poor practice | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | the jaunty repos that is , pyoor | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | rad2905 lubuntu is for older hardware, xubuntu too | 15:43 |
| pyoor | BluesKaj: I don't plan on upgrading. As I mentioned, I just need to use 1 app which requires gcc-3.4 | 15:43 |
| ArunC | michealPW: Oh, din't know that.. thanks for the information :) | 15:43 |
| pyoor | and that app was originally built on jaunty | 15:43 |
| rad2905 | that lubuntu can be installed via wubi? | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | rad2905 don't se wubi | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | use* | 15:43 |
| rad2905 | ...or xubuntu, for that matter | 15:44 |
| rad2905 | ah, okay... | 15:44 |
| rad2905 | well, that's about it. Thanx guys. | 15:44 |
| rad2905 | if there's any other tip for me, please go ahead... :) | 15:44 |
| MonkeyDust | pyoor modify the app, so it can be used on more modern systems | 15:44 |
| TJ- | pyoor: what does "apt-cache policy gcc-3.4" report? | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | pyoor, well good luck with that , jaunty is past it's EOL | 15:45 |
| pyoor | TJ-: Unable to locate package gcc-3.4 | 15:45 |

| TJ- | pyoor: Your problem is, you're not including "universe" pocket on the "deb:" line of "sources.list" | 15:48 |
| michealPW | Ohh, I see. LOL my bad :P | 15:48 |
| rax- | calrogman: Can you explain that to me like I'm 5 years old? | 15:48 |
| pyoor | L3top: I can understand that. I'm not very familiar with ubuntu or apt based distros. I received help here last week regarding this issue. But as I mentioned, I mistakenly blew away that VM thus losing sources.list | 15:48 |
| dr_willis | stevedat: try it and see how well it works | 15:48 |
| pyoor | TJ-: could you point me to an example | 15:49 |
| pyoor | again I apologize as I rarely use apt based distros | 15:49 |
| gianp | Well, in fairness, I have no idea where he would even have obtained the old version, given that the website (as far as I know...) only includes a link to the newest version on Github. *shrug* :) | 15:49 |
| L3top | pyoor: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 15:49 |
| stevedat | May i use :sudo pm-hibernate"? | 15:49 |
| michealPW | I think we got it from a website | 15:49 |
| AMDAthlon | if i installed ubuntu 12.10 beta i wont have to reinstall with the final version right? | 15:49 |
| TJ- | pyoor: "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main restricted universe" | 15:49 |
| michealPW | Let me scroll up and get the exact link | 15:49 |
| Malimbar | ah, figured out my problem - it accidentally uninstalled ia32-libs | 15:49 |
| Malimbar | :) | 15:49 |
| michealPW | http://bigraph.org/bigmc/manual/Obtaining-BigMC.html | 15:50 |
| TJ- | pyoor: For Jaunty, gcc-3.4 is in the universe pocket, not main or restricted | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | AMDAthlon no | 15:50 |
| michealPW | That's the link he/she posted and I got that old version from heeh | 15:50 |
| gianp | Oh, whoops. Yes, the manual would appear to be out of date. I should fix that. | 15:50 |
| michealPW | Jah! | 15:50 |
| gianp | michealPW, Anyway, thanks a bunch for helping to support my flaky software :p | 15:50 |
| calrogman | rax-: ANSI escape codes are used to move the cursor around the screen to allow you to draw anywhere on the terminal. dumb terminals and Emacs shell buffers do not support ANSI escape sequences and they don't make sense without a controlling terminal. In those situations the program is nice enough to fall back on a line-by-line interface implemented using the GNU readline library. | 15:50 |
| michealPW | No problem. Good job on your work, mate :) | 15:50 |
| pyoor | TJ-: thanks, that worked | 15:51 |
| pyoor | much appreciated | 15:51 |
| michealPW | I'm learning C right now, i'm starting college in January for Computer Programmer/Analyst | 15:51 |
| skipper | hi all, does somebody know when dash is used after a command what does it mean? for example "cat -" and without any parameter or filename?? | 15:51 |
| michealPW | Going to be great success :) | 15:51 |
| rax- | calrogman : thank you but that's still quite strange because this is on a CLI only server and was generated during a scripted dist-upgrade (capturing the stderr to a different log file) | 15:52 |
| Pici | skipper: it generally means that you will be getting the input from stdin rather from a file. | 15:52 |
| nibbler_ | skipper: it means "end of parameters" | 15:52 |
| nycjv321 | Hey I am configuring server and had a quick question | 15:52 |
| nibbler_ | skipper: sorry, me wrong, pici right | 15:52 |
| nycjv321 | I generated /etc/resolve.conf using dhclient. how do Imake those changes permanent | 15:52 |
| dr_willis | skipper: 'read from stdin' 2 -- mean end of paramters | 15:52 |
| calrogman | rax-: the script is likely redirecting the programs stdin and stdout | 15:52 |
| rax- | OK. should I capture them all in the same place? | 15:53 |
| skipper | thnx guys :) and appart from command skype with which command is used? | 15:53 |
| michealPW | What if the - is really a government conspiracy? | 15:53 |
| michealPW | :) | 15:53 |
| rax- | calrogman: thanks, I'll just ignore it then | 15:53 |
| calrogman | rax-: no, if you don't want it to fall back on the readline interface, don't redirect any of its inputs or outputs | 15:53 |
| bearly230 | Hey all I've got an issue in Desktop 12.04 where I'm unable to ctrl-alt-f2. I use the command to open an console and all I get is a blank screen, No login prompt. Any idea's? | 15:53 |

| valnour | bearly230: do you get a console at ctrl-alt-f3 or ctrl-alt-f4? | 15:54 |

| MonkeyDust | vwq wrong channel | 15:59 |
| vwq | MonkeyDust: No | 15:59 |
| vwq | I love EVERY person who sits UPON this channel. | 15:59 |
| MonkeyDust | vwq did you have a support question? | 16:00 |
| vwq | Yes | 16:00 |
| vwq | I did | 16:00 |
| vwq | But I thought It's best to introduce myself Firstly. | 16:00 |

| vwq | Well um | 16:02 |
| FloodBot1 | vwq: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:02 |

| L3top | Chit-chat is off topic vwq. Ask your question. Imagine for a moment all 1700 people flooded the text like you. It would be unusable. | 16:02 |
| vwq | what happened? | 16:02 |
| L3top | !ask | vwq | 16:02 |
| ubottu | vwq: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:02 |

| dr_willis | TimothyA: ext4 is the default these days | 16:03 |
| vwq | AnYWAY moving on... | 16:03 |
| vwq | My question waaz | 16:03 |
| bazhang | vwq, stop it | 16:03 |
| vwq | bazhang wait let me Ask My Uestion | 16:04 |
| L3top | Ask the question, on ONE LINE vwq. Stop this. | 16:04 |
| [twisti] | is there something newer than lucid for ubuntu packages ? i need a newer version of cacti | 16:04 |
| lifebird64 | vwq: #ubuntu guidelines recommend that you ask your question in one single line. splitting it up and taking forever to ask your question is regarded as flooding and will get you auto-kicked. | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | !lucid | 16:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 16:04 |
| [twisti] | errm, i meant precise, sorry | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | [twisti]: 12.04 is out now. | 16:05 |
| TimothyA | I still don't understand why /home gets its own partition... | 16:05 |
| [twisti] | right, and im asking if theres something newer | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | ;) ok... 12.10 is due out in a few days | 16:05 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA it's easier for reinstalls or upgrades | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | [twisti]: ppa's are commonly used | 16:05 |
| lifebird64 | Timothy: isn't optional. /home is user files. it makes swapping out a harddrive with userspace files easier | 16:05 |
| TimothyA | MonkeyDust: in what way? | 16:05 |
| [twisti] | can i somehow see what version of cacti is bundled with that ? | 16:05 |
| [twisti] | i dont know what ppas are | 16:06 |
| michealPW | Is ext4 the only one that provides robust journaling? | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | 16:06 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 16:06 |
| michealPW | Or does ext3 also do journaling? | 16:06 |
| TimothyA | lifebird64: mysql tends to store in /var/lib/mysql....which is the smallest partition on the system most of the time | 16:06 |
| wols_ | michealPW: it does | 16:06 |
| TimothyA | /var/log/ also writes to the smallest partition on the system | 16:06 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA if I want a fresh install, my personal docs and settings are not touched, when i erase ubuntu | 16:06 |
| TimothyA | this does not seem like a good idea | 16:06 |
| [twisti] | cacti is already bundled with precise, its just that i want a more current version | 16:06 |
| michealPW | Hrmm | 16:06 |
| wols_ | michealPW: ext3 = ext2 plus journaling (simplified but...) | 16:06 |
| L3top | TimothyA: It is a great idea. You are under no obligation to do it. | 16:06 |
| TimothyA | MonkeyDust: so server data is not as important as personal documents? :P | 16:07 |
| lifebird64 | Timothy: yup. I know. I've encountered that before too. it's annoying. I usually either make /var larger or setup /var/lib/mysql as a symlink to another larger partition. | 16:07 |
| michealPW | Hrmm! | 16:07 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA server uses more separate partitions, for the same reason | 16:07 |
| dr_willis | [twisti]: find a ppa for a newer version is the 'common' answer | 16:07 |
| L3top | TimothyA: it is not just personal documents. Your specified user has a great number of configurations, settings, data, etc. | 16:07 |
| [twisti] | ah, alright, thanks | 16:07 |
| === 18WAB9TAB is now known as jakub_r | ||
| TimothyA | L3top: data and settings? those are in hidden . directories, or in /var/ | 16:08 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA .config is stored in /home too, so that is saved too | 16:08 |
| L3top | ls -a /home/$USER | 16:08 |
| TimothyA | user information regarding passwords is stored in /etc/ ... | 16:08 |
| dr_willis | user owned files are in their home normally ;) | 16:08 |
| nec1765 | hi. thanks for your help. i had a dual bootsetup by win7 BCDedit on MBR and first 512 bytes of my linux partition saved as linux.bin on NTFS drive. i did dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/mnt/share/linux.bin again this revived my computer | 16:08 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA then put /etc/ on its own partition, it's perfectly possible | 16:09 |
| TimothyA | dr_willis: except for services. those can just disappear, right? | 16:09 |
| TimothyA | MonkeyDust: so what's the case of not having every single subdirectory being a partition? | 16:09 |
| dr_willis | user owned servicesx? | 16:09 |
| michealPW | TimothA: There's a good guide that fully explains the Linux filesystem (How it's organized, now the actual filesystems hehe) if you're interested? | 16:09 |
| TimothyA | dr_willis: mysql for example | 16:09 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA it can be done, see what suits you best | 16:09 |
| TimothyA | michealPW: sure | 16:09 |
| michealPW | TimothyA: I think you're just a little confused on what /var/ is actually for, that's all. | 16:09 |
| michealPW | K, let me get you the link mate ;) | 16:09 |
| TimothyA | michealPW: I know that's where mysql stores all the data for the databases and tables | 16:10 |
| TimothyA | which tends to be a bit important | 16:10 |
| [twisti] | dr_willis: i followed the advice on that page, but now i am spammed with a bunch of errors when i try to do apt-get update, like the following. did i mess something up ? | 16:10 |
| [twisti] | Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/cacti/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 16:10 |
| michealPW | TimothyA: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ | 16:10 |
| wols_ | dr_willis: mail is under /var and those are certainly user owned | 16:10 |
| ikonia | michealPW: that's not worth anything if ubuntu doesn't follow it | 16:10 |
| TimothyA | and I know that mysql innodb tables will throw a hissy fit if you don't keep it where you created it | 16:10 |
| ikonia | michealPW: TimothyA is right, it's where the ubuntu mysql database datafiles are stored | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | [twisti]: could be a dead ppa. | 16:11 |
| basic` | just use xtrabackup from percona | 16:11 |
| basic` | you can copy your innodb data files anywhere you need them to be | 16:11 |
| [twisti] | it didnt actually work either :| i guess im just downloading the new source, its mostly web stuff anyways | 16:12 |
| ikonia | basic`: yes, but that is the DEFAULT location in ubuntu | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | basic`: no you cannot | 16:12 |
| basic` | TimothyA: pretty sure you can | 16:12 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: you can put them where you want | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | you can only create them where you want them to be. you cannot move them anywhere else | 16:12 |

| basic` | yes you can | 16:12 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: you can move them | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | basic`: I want to see you try | 16:12 |
| === arvin_ is now known as askabt | ||
| ikonia | TimothyA: I move them all the time | 16:12 |
| basic` | TimothyA: trust me, you can use percona xtrabackup | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | ikonia: INNODB, not myisam | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | different thing | 16:12 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: I'm aware of that | 16:12 |
| SurrealNick | hi everyone, need some help with graphical problems and intalling updates | 16:12 |
| michealPW | ikonia: Right, readign that FHS should help TimothyA find a more appropriate location for his databases... I didn't know Ubuntu mysql put the dbs there, though, that's odd :\ | 16:12 |
| TimothyA | you cannot just move them from /var/lib to /mysql for example | 16:12 |
| ashwin18 | Anyone? | 16:13 |
| basic` | TimothyA: you cannot just move them, but you can use percona xtrabackup | 16:13 |
| ikonia | michealPW: it's not odd, most distros put them there | 16:13 |
| basic` | if you haven't used it, try it | 16:13 |
| basic` | it will work | 16:13 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: of course you don't just "mv" them | 16:13 |
| michealPW | You can't jus tmove them, no, but you can setup mysql to put them in a more appropriate location for your system | 16:13 |
| TimothyA | ikonia: they will become practically unusable at that point | 16:13 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: I'm not disagreeing with that | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | ashwin18: musch easier if you have a connection. offline can be a pain | 16:13 |
| TimothyA | michealPW: /home/mysql/ ? | 16:13 |
| michealPW | ikonia: It's weird that any distro would put them there. I guess it might be becomming a de facto standard but it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me after reading FHS haha :\ | 16:14 |
| ikonia | TimothyA: you can store them where ever YOU want | 16:14 |
| ashwin18 | dr willis, I see. And how about the bootloader default? | 16:14 |
| ikonia | michealPW: stop quoting things like FHS - no-one has "signed up" to follow it, so it's worthless | 16:14 |
| michealPW | Ikonia: I guess that's like the LSB... When no distros properly adhere to it, what's the point? :\ | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | ashwin18: its doable.. the grub2 wiki page mentions it. as does askubuntu.com | 16:14 |
| ikonia | michealPW: right, so what's the point in quoting it to people | 16:14 |
| basic` | it basically creates a crash recovery copy of the innodb data, you can put this copy in your new location, point my.cnf / mysql at the new location, and start it back up | 16:14 |
| ashwin18 | dr willis, I checked askubuntu and found many unanswered questions on the topic. Can you give me a link to the wiki or askubuntu? | 16:15 |

| ubottu | ashwin18, please see my private message | 16:15 |

| michealPW | ikonia: If more people are aware, more people can request that Canonical adhere to the standard right? | 16:15 |
| basic` | it'll even give you the binlog file/position at which the snap was taken | 16:15 |
| nydel | question: i noticed when i booted today that ubuntu prompted me that one of my drives did not mount (it was not present) -- is this a new feature? i've never seen it before. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | michealPW: no, you can't request anything | 16:15 |
| michealPW | ikonia: If a large group of users requested Canonical adhere to a standard, you don't think they would listen? :\ | 16:15 |
| under | Hi. What is the file that sets the launcher stuff? | 16:15 |
| ikonia | michealPW: no, they don't care because it doesn't matter | 16:16 |

| michealPW | I guess it's a bit naive of me, but it's hard to believe Canonical would not listen to a large group of their users/customers :\ | 16:16 |
| ashwin18 | okay, dr_willis left but I think he misunderstood. I want to keep the ubuntu bootloader, I just want the 'default' that starts within 10 seconds to be windows 7, not ubuntu | 16:16 |
| ikonia | michealPW: of course they would not listen, | 16:16 |
| ikonia | michealPW: what does it matter, why change it because someone random wrote a document called the FHS | 16:16 |

| ikonia | luist: define the error | 16:20 |
| under | nydel: yes, | 16:20 |
| luist | ikonia: just did | 16:20 |
| ikonia | luist: how you fix it depends how you broke it | 16:20 |
| Cong | ikonia, I have it installed and configured, but the programs won't run. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | luist: no, you've not | 16:21 |
| ikonia | Cong: respond to gordonjcp first | 16:21 |
| ikonia | luist: you've just said "can't use it" | 16:21 |
| nydel | under: it seems to me that all the launchers should be in the filesystem! | 16:21 |
| luist | ikonia: cant chmod because i cant use sudo… obviously because it has the wrong permissions -.- | 16:21 |
| C8H10N4O2 | you only stated you created a new file never said how you actually broke it | 16:21 |
| luist | ikonia: well the error is: sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/99-content is mode 0644, should be 0440 | 16:21 |
| Cong | gordonjcp, I'm using it to control the computer. | 16:21 |
| ikonia | luist: ok, you need to give the error | 16:21 |
| luist | ikonia: just did | 16:21 |
| under | nydel: becouse I launch teamspeak 3 in console using ' sh teamspeak.sh' then I lock it in the crappy bar. when I close it from console and I click on the icon on the bar, it wont open | 16:21 |
| ikonia | luist: adding a file shouldn't break it, so it depends how you've broke it | 16:21 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: what, to get a remote shell? | 16:21 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: don't use telnet, use ssh | 16:22 |
| ikonia | luist: no, you've not fiven an error, you've tried to explain what you think the problem is | 16:22 |
| nydel | under: i bet you're locking sh | 16:22 |
| FlyingElvis | where in ubuntu are the graphic settings...as in all the pretty bling | 16:22 |
| luist | ikonia: i just copied: sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/99-content is mode 0644, should be 0440!!!!!!!! | 16:22 |
| under | nydel: yeah | 16:22 |
| ikonia | luist: that's nothing to do with sudo that's the umask | 16:22 |
| nydel | under: what if you make a script, put it in your $PATH somewhere, call it "teamspeak" then launch THAT & pin it to the launcher? | 16:22 |
| ikonia | luist: you said sudo was broke, that's nothing to do with sudo | 16:22 |
| luist | ikonia: are u crazy? this is obviously about sudo | 16:22 |
| nydel | teamspeak is just #!/bin/bash newline sh teamspeak.sh | 16:22 |
| ikonia | luist: you said you can't use sudo - you can use sudo | 16:23 |
| ikonia | luist: no, it's not | 16:23 |
| ikonia | luist: the file creation mask is set wrong | 16:23 |
| nydel | (teamspeak the file) then set it to 755 | 16:23 |
| luist | ikonia: i cant use sudo when the permission of the damn sudoers are not 0440 | 16:23 |
| Cong | gordonjcp, telnet and ssh are the same thing right. one is safer and the other is insecure. So I need a remote shell? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | luist: adding that file shouldn't break the default sudo rules | 16:23 |
| luist | ikonia: thats nothing to do with the umask | 16:23 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: no, they are not the same thing | 16:23 |
| ikonia | luist: please show me the output of sudo chmod on that file | 16:23 |
| luist | ikonia: how do i fix it then mr | 16:23 |
| under | nydel: nice idea, where is the correct path to put this script? | 16:23 |
| nydel | under: i had to do what i just said in order to get some programs to launch at startup. | 16:23 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: telnet is insecure and obsolete, use ssh | 16:23 |
| ikonia | luist: sorry, I can't be bothered any more | 16:24 |
| luist | that line that i pasted is exatly the output of that command -.- | 16:24 |
| nydel | under: anywhere in your $PATH variable. "echo $PATH" -- personally, i have a "bin" in my home, & ~/bin is in my $PATH by my own modification of a login profile here or there | 16:24 |
| luist | ikonia: http://pastie.org/5068564 | 16:25 |
| nydel | under: i'd put it in /usr/share/ | 16:25 |
| luist | ikonia: oh well | 16:25 |
| ikonia | luist: I'm not interested, I can't be bothered begging you for info | 16:25 |
| nydel | under: i meant /usr/sbin/ | 16:25 |
| Cong | gordonjcp, rsh can execute program on the computer? | 16:25 |
| nydel | under: but make sure that /usr/sbin is in your path | 16:25 |
| luist | ikonia: but i already gave you the info… | 16:25 |
| Promethes | when default monospaced font in Firefox will be fixed or changed? For a couple of years i see almost unreadable monospaced font on some websites | 16:25 |
| luist | ikonia: even before you asked… i said thats the output for ALL sudo commands | 16:26 |
| llutz | luist: boot into recovery/life-cd and fix permissions | 16:26 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: yeah, but the problem is that rsh can execute any program on the computer with very little control over who gets to do it | 16:26 |
| under | nydel: I try to do that, thanks. | 16:26 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: use ssh | 16:26 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: forget you even heard about telnet | 16:27 |
| luist | llutz: oh thanks! that might work | 16:27 |
| llutz | luist you're not alone :( http://www.peppertop.com/blog/?p=1015 | 16:27 |
| nydel | under: if you do it, please tell me whether it works! thank you | 16:27 |
| luist | llutz: actually that was much more helpful than ikonia NOT trying to help! :) | 16:27 |
| gordonjcp | Cong: telnet has been made obsolete by ssh, and this happened over ten years ago ;-) | 16:28 |
| llutz | luist: next time read /etc/sudoers.d/README earlier | 16:28 |
| delinquentme | how can I free up a serial port? /dev/ttyAMC0 usually runs my arduino ... but somehow something is occupying it | 16:28 |
| melvster1 | hi all, anyone know if there's a way for your 'startup' applications to launch in a particular workspace? | 16:29 |
| michealPW | llutz: hehe, I don't think you can read that README if you can't do sudo (Unless you use a liveCD?) | 16:29 |
| llutz | michealPW: true | 16:29 |
| llutz | most stupiest "sudo-improvement" i ever heard of | 16:30 |
| === owner_ is now known as RealOpty | ||
| michealPW | luist: You have to set the perfmissions for your sudoers directory to read/execute, read/execute and none using: chmod 440 /etc/sudoers | 16:31 |
| michealPW | luist: Since your sudo is broken, you can't do that from your system. Put in a liveCD and boot from it. Mount your drive (It just automatically mount it once you browse to it) then issue that command. Should fix your problem, I think :P | 16:31 |
| michealPW | Not sure how your permissions got changed in the first place, though? Meh, I'm not an expert :P | 16:31 |
| unknown | hi, where can i find a guide on how to modify a package and rebuild it? (i want alpine with some patches) | 16:32 |
| llutz | michealPW: they haven't got changed, this will always happen if you create a new file in that directory while having a umask of 0022 | 16:32 |
| michealPW | llutz: It can be frustrating.. Since Ubuntu doesn't have a root account setup by default so if sudo gets broken hehe you don't have many options to troubleshoot unless you kinda already know what you're doing hehe | 16:32 |
| michealPW | llutz: Ahh, I see! So that's what Ikano was talking about, then? :) | 16:32 |
| llutz | michealPW: and this makes the usage of /etc/sudoers.d/ very dangerous | 16:33 |
| llutz | michealPW: idk honestly | 16:33 |
| SurrealNick | i have fglrx installation problems..anyone help? | 16:33 |

| nydel | the-light: can you find networks in other bands | 16:34 |
| the-light | nydel: yes only this band i cann't find it | 16:34 |
| nydel | the-light: you have other devices that find your g network? | 16:35 |
| TJ- | michealPW: luist You don't need a liveCD - just reboot into Recovery mode. That leads to a single-user mode root shell | 16:36 |

| deadmund | clicking the icon* | 16:42 |

| SurrealNick | seems to have done, although /usr/share/ati is not empty and so not removed | 17:02 |
| deadmund | SurrealNick: now try sudo apt-get remove fglrx | 17:02 |

| SurrealNick | ok..fglrx is not installed..but..theres some packages auto installed and no longer required | 17:03 |
| SurrealNick | new paste coming.. | 17:03 |
| luist | guys… can i specify parameters on a sudoers rule? i want to give permission to run a command but only when used with parameter -c for example | 17:03 |
| deadmund | SurrealNick: To remove those packages: sudo apt-get autoremove | 17:03 |
| SurrealNick | ok | 17:03 |
| SurrealNick | doine | 17:04 |
| SurrealNick | done..even | 17:04 |
| deadmund | luist: I don't think so, but you can write a bash script that calls the command for the user (with the flags hard coded into the bash script) and give sudoers the power to run that script | 17:04 |
| deadmund | SurrealNick: we're done | 17:04 |
| SurrealNick | ok...now what? | 17:05 |
| deadmund | SurrealNick: we're done? What do you want? | 17:05 |

| john_doe_jr | is the brackets like /apache2/ the things we are looking for ? | 17:28 |
| crizis | john_doe_jr, correct way for to do what that command likely is trying to do: sudo a2enmod mod_mono | 17:28 |
| L3top | SurrealNick: my money would be on a utility which figures out which level of unity to run for your gpu. | 17:28 |

| drag0nius | why so? | 18:24 |
| OerHeks | drag0nius, minecraft ? | 18:24 |
| llutz | drag0nius: because you need something interpreting the java-stuff fromthe .jar-file | 18:24 |
| islandmonkey | drag0nius: Well, it's a bit like saying "Can you run LibreOffice without an operating system?" | 18:25 |
| islandmonkey | Of course not | 18:25 |
| drag0nius | /usr/bin is parth of PATH | 18:25 |
| drag0nius | so it should search for commands there, before checking for package | 18:25 |
| drag0nius | but it doesnt | 18:25 |
| ThinkT510 | drag0nius: jar requires java, you can't use jar without java | 18:26 |
| llutz | drag0nius: jar-files are not executable on its own, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAR_(file_format) | 18:26 |

| OerHeks | drag0nius, check the !java factoid howto set java jdk to standard | 18:29 |
| islandmonkey | drag0nius: That's because the java exec is called java, not jar | 18:29 |

| dury | wols_: hi there :-) busy? | 18:44 |
| dury | wols_: have u got time to help me | 18:45 |
| genii-around | dury: avconv is in the package libav-tools | 18:46 |
| uw | hmm is there a way to see what packages have changed from the last LTS | 18:46 |
| uw | I mean quick easy way | 18:46 |
| bekks | uw: Assume "every package". | 18:46 |
| uw | like a list of both default ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 | 18:47 |
| uw | bekks, yea as i'm finding out | 18:47 |
| wols_ | dury: just ask. never ask if you can ask | 18:47 |
| bekks | uw: or do you just mean the package names? | 18:47 |
| temporary | Can anyone help this *beginner* run Korganizer as a background service? | 18:47 |
| uw | bekks, well, say gpg for example. i believe the version is different on 12.04 as from 10.04 and would just like to compare them | 18:48 |
| wols_ | temporary: §nohup korganizer &§ should do it (I hope) | 18:48 |
| uw | with out going through source and looking at each one | 18:48 |
| uw | the sources of both | 18:48 |
| wols_ | uw: distrowatch is one way. but not for all packages, but for many programs | 18:48 |
| bekks | uw: So basically you want to diff the output of "dpkg -l" | 18:48 |
| wols_ | temporary: "nohup korganizer &" rather | 18:48 |
| uw | yes, but i dont have the 10.04 anymore. | 18:48 |
| uw | just curious if anyone knew of such a list | 18:49 |
| dury | so if libav-tools package it's installed avconv it's in there? | 18:49 |
| bekks | uw: I'd just install a 10.04 vm, for getting the dpkg -l from a fresh install. | 18:49 |
| uw | it's not even worth making a script to get both sources and diffing them | 18:49 |
| john_doe_jr | Alright so what does the sudo dpkg —configure -a —pending do? | 18:49 |
| bekks | uw: Why do you want to do that effort anyway? | 18:49 |
| wols_ | john_doe_jr: it tries to configure all packages you have unpacked to disk but not configured yet | 18:50 |
| temporary | wols: Sory I am lost already! I have Korganizer -q in my {System}{Startup Applications} but I don't think it runs. Wherre would I pu the nohup korganizer & ? | 18:50 |
| john_doe_jr | wols_: what is the difference between that command and sudo dpkg —configure -a? | 18:50 |
| uw | bekks, eh it's probably not even worth that effort. I want to do that anyway because i believe I am having issues with GPG and think the version has changed from 10.04-12.04. curious of other programs that have changed | 18:51 |
| uw | because maybe it's not gpg's fault | 18:51 |
| wols_ | john_doe_jr: nothing, it's the same | 18:51 |
| uw | if it comes down to it, ill just make a 10.04 vm and do as you said | 18:51 |

| bekks | uw: packages.ubuntu.com ... | 18:53 |
| wols_ | john_doe_jr: why do you even run it? | 18:54 |
| temporary | *Beginner tries again*: How can I make Korganizer PIM run as a silent service ? I have tried using an autorun Korganizer -q, but nothing happens. | 18:54 |
| uw | bekks, thats what ill probably do. It would be cool to have a list or table, with columns being the distro version, and rows being the programs and cells being the respective versions (if installed at all) | 18:55 |
| uw | meh it's nice to want things lOL | 18:55 |
| wols_ | temporary: the command I gave you didn't work? and isn't korganizer a GUI program? | 18:55 |

| john_doe_jr | sudo a2enmod mod_rewrite enables rewrite in apache right? | 18:56 |
| uw | jrib, true true. Tell you what if i come across ONE more issue i will make the list. it's something that could be scripted at disto build time, rather than backwards going through it. | 18:56 |
| uw | but enough wining out of me | 18:57 |
| temporary | wols: Sorry I did not know what to do with the "command" you told me. Yes Korganizer is a GUI. I am running it from {System}{Startup Applications}. It runs fine, but I need it "silent" as a service. | 18:57 |
| jrib | uw: well the main issue is that the list would be very long unless you were only interested in specific packages | 18:58 |
| wols_ | temporary: and how would you access the data it holds when it runs in the background without any output? | 18:58 |
| tziOm | What would I edit to change the default language settings and so on in boot image? | 18:58 |

| firc | Need some help. I tried installed ubuntu 12.04 ( desktop ) on a server machine, and it doesnt detect my hard disk | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | Can anyone think of a reason you would want to mount the same drive at the same location twice (eg. I have /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdd1 which are both physically the same iscsi mount, both mounting at /srv/mirror at the same time) | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | tonika, Ah actual resolution I missed the dual screen, not sure. | 19:27 |
| Boreeas | For some reason, my IRC client catches all mouse input, no matter what window is in front. Any idea why? | 19:27 |
| brontosaurusrexw | i have an app running on another instance of gnome (using nx), how to kill it? | 19:28 |
| dr_willis | Boreeas: using unity? and compiz? and what client? | 19:28 |
| Boreeas | gnome3 and gnome-shell | 19:28 |
| Boreeas | Keyboard input still works | 19:28 |
| dury | see you.... have to go | 19:29 |
| bulletrulz | hey guys | 19:29 |
| tonika | its two screens however one is a tv (constant problems) 1080i and monitor 1920*1080. After unticking the mirror check box it came up with that error then decided to reboot and the launcher has just gone. I'm thinking of doing another fresh install but thought it was worth asking before i do | 19:30 |
| bulletrulz | im trying to install star wars jedi knight1 through wine | 19:30 |
| bulletrulz | and when trying i start get to create a cheracter then press start and it says disk one is not inserted though i have mounted it | 19:31 |
| IdleOne | bulletrulz: #winehq will be a better place to ask | 19:31 |
| dr_willis | tonika: some driver/card setups have limits on how big a virt. desktop then can handle | 19:31 |
| snwh | can some tell me if it is beneficial to stick with 64-bit ubuntu? | 19:32 |
| Evildoer | c.blessed.net | 19:32 |
| dr_willis | snwh: i always use 64bit when the hardware supports it. | 19:32 |
| === noname is now known as Guest16677 | ||
| dr_willis | rarely have issues with 64bit. | 19:33 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: no, why do you ask? | 19:33 |
| snwh | dr_willis my biggest greivance is that some 3rd party apps don't run on 64-bit | 19:33 |
| tonika | i have tried installing fglrx with the additional drivers option. It will install the main driver but not the update. however after the installing the main driver still no launcher | 19:33 |
| Boreeas | dr_willis: Any idea how to fix it? | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, trying to work out if this is a bug or not, since that is exactly what I am seeing | 19:33 |
| Jordan_U | snwh: Like what? I can't think of any. | 19:33 |
| cakeboss | Hey guys. I just asked about installing BeautifulSoup...when I try and import it in my python script python tells me that the modules don't exist...I checked to make sure that they were installed and indeed they are there... | 19:34 |
| dr_willis | snwh: given how long 64 has been here. tats is almost inexcusable | 19:34 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: the second mount will hide the first mount - I guess , so it can only be an error | 19:34 |
| snwh | Jordan_U Guitar Pro 6 | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, nope, it successfully mounted both at the same place | 19:34 |
| snwh | dr_willis I agree | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, further, I had to run umount twice as it only unmounted one each time | 19:35 |
| enav | ANYONE can tell me official release date for Ubuntu 12.10 | 19:35 |
| enav | it supposed to be today | 19:35 |
| dr_willis | !schedule | 19:35 |
| ubottu | A schedule of Quantal Quetzal (12.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule | 19:35 |
| Jordan_U | snwh: And you've tried installing the 32 bit package on a 64 bit system and it doesn't work? | 19:35 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: thats obvious - can you please !pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab ? | 19:35 |
| dr_willis | enav: i dont think so. | 19:35 |
| enav | ok thanks i got the date | 19:36 |
| enav | thanks for the help ppl | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, fstab is mounting it based on UUID | 19:36 |
| snwh | Jordan_U I have. Personally I don't use it I'm trying to set it up for someone else. | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, UUID=ec2c12e8-7b73-4127-ad90-39718124f649 /images ext4 defaults 0 1 | 19:36 |
| blob4000 | any downside to simply updating when 12.10 is out, or is there a noticeable benefit to wiping and installing 12.10 fresh? | 19:36 |
| Jordan_U | snwh: What version of Ubuntu are you using, how did you try to install it, and what went wrong? (if you want to pursue this) | 19:36 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: doesn't matter, I just want to have a look - the complete fstab please | 19:37 |
| snwh | Jordan_U switching them to 32-bit, i don;t think would bother them much | 19:37 |
| tonika | wilee-nilee: since this is a fresh install (less than a day) i should probably start again yeah? | 19:37 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1283734/ | 19:37 |
| snwh | Jordan_U I'm on 12.10, the computer I'm trying to get it to work is 12.04.1 | 19:37 |
| john_doe_jr | I have this confi file that points to teh apache rewrite_module @ /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_rewrite but nothing is @ this location…how do I enable something @ this location so I can get rewrite to work? | 19:38 |
| snwh | Jordan_U I think switching them to 32-bit won't be that noticeable; they're not using the machine to any extent to notice the performance change. | 19:38 |
| john_doe_jr | do I do a a2enmod rewrite_64 or something? | 19:39 |
| blob4000 | is there any downside to simply updating 12.04.1 when 12.10 is out, or is there a noticeable benefit to wiping and installing 12.10 fresh? | 19:39 |
| dr_willis | blob4000: depends on how much cruft you got installed. ;-) | 19:40 |
| xangua | blob4000 it's mostly off to you, for 12.10 please use #ubuntu+1 | 19:40 |
| blob4000 | thanks | 19:40 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: I see only one line there, how did the second mount happen then? | 19:40 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest13919 | ||
| tgm4883 | guntbert, both /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdd1 were the same UUID | 19:41 |
| guntbert | *one line for that mount | 19:41 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, it's possible that we ran 'sudo mount -a' after it booted, but still that shouldn't repeat the mount | 19:41 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, which is why I think it's due to them having the same UUID | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | snwh: I'm still curious how trying to install the package failed. | 19:41 |
| dr_willis | so change the uuid! | 19:42 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: true, but in my opinion uuid should be just that: unique, how did they get the same one? | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | dr_willis, that isn't the issue | 19:42 |
| snwh | Jordan_U Sorry, I can't recall at the moment. It require gksu:i386 and some QT library was missing | 19:42 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: it *is* the issue ( in my opinion ) | 19:43 |
| Boreeas | For some reason, my IRC client catches all mouse input, no matter what window is in front. Any idea why? I tried replacing gnome-shell, but that didn't fix it. | 19:43 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, I have a nexenta server sharing iscsi mounts and it's (incorrectly IMO) serving the same iscsi share twice | 19:43 |
| Boreeas | Keyboard input still works, though, and I can switch between windows with alt-tab | 19:43 |
| dr_willis | if the fstab is using the uuid i would think its an issue. | 19:43 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: that should be the bug then - as I said uuids are supposed to be unique | 19:44 |
| tgm4883 | dr_willis, guntbert, yes, while I agree that the nexenta system should only serve the shares once, it's the mount issue I'm discussing now as a possible bug | 19:45 |
| dr_willis | Boreeas: tried a different window manager? test it with a new test user? could be some weird wm settings | 19:45 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: you want mount to check the uuids for uniqueness? Not feasibel in my opinion | 19:46 |
| dr_willis | m | 19:46 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, no, I'd rather throw an error if it tries to mount something at the same mountpoint twice | 19:46 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, further, when you run 'mount' is doesn't list it mounted as the UUID, it does it by /dev/sd* | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: Can you not fix the nexenta system? | 19:47 |
| zezikaro | Hi, could anyone help me out please? I've got to run ubuntu through a proxy and i'm havign a lot of problems | 19:48 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: not feasible either, the user/admin on a linux system is supposed to know what she is doing | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | Jordan_U, working on that | 19:48 |
| llutz | tgm4883: "mount" always shows device-names, not uuids | 19:48 |
| zezikaro | is there an easy way to set global proxy settings? a lot of programs see mto ignore the HTTP_PROXY export :/ | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, is that why we don't allow 'rm -rf /' | 19:48 |
| guntbert | !danger | 19:48 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 19:48 |
| jabba_ | anyone there with ipsec/l2tp-knowledge? | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, because admins just know what they are doing (except we do block that with warnings) | 19:48 |
| snwh | Jordan_U I might just chroot it | 19:49 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: That's because mount follows the symlink and displays the device name, if you "cat /proc/mounts" (which comes from the kernel) you will probably see that /dev/disk/by-uuid/foo is what was mounted. | 19:49 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: that is a relly dangerous command (when executed ..), the mount command is not | 19:49 |
| llutz | Jordan_U: also /proc/mounts shows device-names, not uuids however you mounted it (uuid,label, device) | 19:51 |
| Jordan_U | tgm4883: The /dev/disk/by-uuid/ namespace by its nature cannot handle one UUID symlink pointing to two different devices, and it's entirely possible for the symlink to change as devices come and go. | 19:51 |
| bulletrulz | !danger | 19:51 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 19:51 |

| * jrib gives bulletrulz the slowest reaction time in #ubuntu award (also, please /msg ubottu directly instead of using the channel to experiment) | 19:52 | |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, Jordan_U so would you say that it is ok to mount '/dev/sdb1 /srv/mirror' and also '/dev/sdd1 /srv/mirror' at the same time? | 19:52 |
| Jordan_U | llutz: /dev/disk/by-uuid/de0600bd-08a0-4b40-b3aa-e8f71a08f866 is both a device name and has a UUID component :) | 19:52 |
| guntbert | tgm4883: no, but its a consequence of the duplicate uuids | 19:52 |
| llutz | Jordan_U: device-name as in "/dev/sdXY" sry | 19:52 |
| WeThePeople | is theie dos emulation for ubuntu | 19:54 |
| WeThePeople | their | 19:54 |
| bekks | WeThePeople: No. | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | llutz: Then you're wrong, as I copied the path I just gave directly from my /proc/mounts. | 19:54 |
| llutz | !info dosemu | WeThePeople | 19:54 |
| ubottu | WeThePeople: dosemu (source: dosemu): DOS Emulator for Linux. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.4.0+svn.2010-1 (precise), package size 2312 kB, installed size 5784 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 19:54 |

| grandal_prime | where might i find info about building a port mirror with ubuntu | 20:03 |
| grandal_prime | has anyone here had any success with that? | 20:04 |
| guntbert | grandal_prime: what is a "port mirror"? | 20:06 |
| grogoreo | hi | 20:06 |
| grandal_prime | umm so imagine you are running ubuntu as a router. and you recieve traffic on one interface, say eth0 and you want to see all that traffic on another port. duplicate it. for like monitoring or something like that. | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | guntbert, as a guess, it's mirroring all traffic that happens over one port to another port | 20:07 |
| tgm4883 | yep | 20:07 |
| grandal_prime | so you take that data and copy it and then forward it on to where it needs to go and also a copy to another ip address. | 20:07 |
| grogoreo | Does anyone have it, after installing dropbox the indicator icon just keeps on saying connecting though it does work and sync? | 20:07 |
| WeThePeople | grogoreo, do you have a account? | 20:08 |
| grogoreo | WeThePeople, ye, it's all setup and I've installed both ways (through repositories and off dropbox itself) | 20:09 |

| _XMENDES | dont open the folders on plex yet :/ | 20:43 |
| Eagleman | Can you show me the output from: groups | 20:44 |
| _XMENDES | how? | 20:44 |
| Eagleman | type: groups | 20:44 |
| Eagleman | and copy what it is saying | 20:44 |
| Eagleman | same like the previous command | 20:44 |
| _XMENDES | rafael adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 20:44 |
| Eagleman | useradd -G refeal plex | 20:44 |
| _XMENDES | sudo? | 20:44 |
| Eagleman | sudo useradd -G rafael plex | 20:45 |
| Eagleman | also typed ur name wrong xD | 20:45 |
| _XMENDES | says "user plex allready exists" | 20:45 |
| Eagleman | and afterwards show me the output from groups aigan | 20:45 |
| eamon | How would I hash each image on a webpage and block it if it matches a certain hash on ubuntu? | 20:45 |
| genii-around | Eagleman: don't forget to add -a or that will be the ONLY group that user will belong to | 20:45 |
| Eagleman | sudo useradd -G plex refeal | 20:45 |
| jrib | Eagleman, _XMENDES: stop | 20:46 |
| _XMENDES | stop plex? | 20:46 |
| Eagleman | Here comes the cavelry | 20:46 |
| jrib | Eagleman, _XMENDES: to add the user "refeal" to the group "plex", you should do: sudo adduser refeal plex | 20:46 |
| jrib | Eagleman: you were probably thinking of the usermod syntax but it's more trouble than it's worth :P | 20:47 |
| Eagleman | if you have done that can you show me: groups? | 20:47 |
| _XMENDES | user added | 20:47 |
| _XMENDES | rafael adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 20:47 |
| _XMENDES | groups | 20:47 |
| Eagleman | No samba permissions on this folder any idea why?: http://pastebin.com/9UXFm3ha | 20:48 |
| Eagleman | hmm thats weird | 20:48 |
| _XMENDES | dont add plex | 20:48 |
| _XMENDES | im using sudo | 20:48 |
| Eagleman | jrib was wrong i guess | 20:49 |
| _XMENDES | need reboot? | 20:49 |
| Eagleman | sudo adduser plex rafael | 20:49 |
| Eagleman | then group and copy it | 20:49 |
| jrib | _XMENDES: you need to login again for it to take effect | 20:49 |
| guntbert | Eagleman: wrong | 20:49 |
| _XMENDES | ok..wait.. | 20:49 |
| _XMENDES | ok.. 1m | 20:50 |
| Eagleman | i stop playing with permissions now, giving me a headache.... | 20:50 |
| jrib | Eagleman: can you show how you try to copy a file and the output you get (in pastebin)? | 20:51 |
| Eagleman | the user refeal needs to be in the group plex to look inside his home folder | 20:51 |
| Eagleman | omg | 20:51 |
| Eagleman | the user plex needs to be in the group rafeal | 20:51 |
| Eagleman | just rm / | 20:51 |

| TheLordOfTime | also, don't suggest dangerous commands btw | 20:52 |
| Eagleman | I want to create or copy a file in my samba share but it says that i need permissions, but i am pretty sure i have permissions: http://pastebin.com/9UXFm3ha | 20:52 |
| compdoc | Eagleman, who owns the shared folder | 20:53 |
| _XMENDES | now its there | 20:53 |
| _XMENDES | rafael adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare plex | 20:53 |
| Eagleman | can plex look in the folder? | 20:53 |
| _XMENDES | let me see | 20:53 |
| Eagleman | compdoc please look in my pastebin file | 20:53 |
| compdoc | Eagleman, shows root | 20:54 |
| Eagleman | Where? | 20:54 |
| Eagleman | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Sep 19 11:25 robin -> /media/harddisks/data/users/robin is only a symlink | 20:54 |

| _XMENDES | plex dont have access to my user folder :( | 20:57 |
| Eagleman | _XMENDES i would suggest making a folder media on / and copy ur content to there and set the permissions to 770 and chown it with media:media and add the user plex to the media group | 20:58 |
| _XMENDES | can i .. open the permissions of my user folder to plex? | 20:59 |
| Eagleman | What do you mean? | 20:59 |
| _XMENDES | change my user folder permission | 20:59 |
| TheLordOfTime | Eagleman, i think he means to allow 'plex' to access the user folder that is not their own | 20:59 |
| Eagleman | He is | 20:59 |
| _XMENDES | sorry my english .. im from brazil | 21:00 |
| Eagleman | No problem | 21:00 |
| _XMENDES | yes lord.. | 21:00 |

| ibere_SP | hi folks. google chrome on ubuntu 12.04.1. is there a way to change the default size of the "edit bookmarks" window? everytime i click on the star to change the bookmark folder, i feel like the "edit bookmarks" window is kind of small. tks! | 21:05 |
| sveinse | Does it exist a tool that can present server statistics (io-load, network, CPU load, temperature)? | 21:06 |
| jagginess | ibere_SP, url-> " chome-urls://bookmarks " << you can set that as a new tabpage in the settings | 21:06 |
| jagginess | ibere_SP, actually i think its chrome://bookmarks | 21:06 |
| jagginess | ibere_SP, chrome://chrome-urls/ << i'm just showing off now :) | 21:07 |

| Gorfo | phpmyadmin problem: isn't just a problem with the conf of your apache ? | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | Gorfo: fyi, apt scripts are all configured for one direction only - upgrade. so trying to downgrade will ususally result in very broken config files/etc. | 21:34 |

| Gorfo | imagine, you install something that upgrade some dep | 21:36 |
| Gorfo | and finally you do not want it anymore | 21:36 |
| TheBeast | can ubuntu isos be dd-ed to usb sticks? | 21:36 |
| Gorfo | hop something like apt-unget and back to the future | 21:36 |

| dandkburt | if its on a computer you can do it | 21:44 |
| chaos_ | miguel: you need the extensions pack for sure and the right one at that | 21:44 |
| ealeon | so instead of having tow, i just have one | 21:44 |
| ealeon | two* | 21:44 |
| zykotick9 | ealeon: does the 2nd install still exist? if so, are you sure you want to remove it? | 21:45 |
| chaos_ | you can not just remove it. there is nothing wrong with it, it just no knowing whats going on thats proably confusing you | 21:45 |
| chaos_ | you coul reinstall and not use LVM's | 21:45 |
| ealeon | zykotick9, yes 2nd exists. i want to get rid of the first one and have the 2nd one as default | 21:45 |
| zykotick9 | ealeon: see /etc/default/grub and the GRUB_DEFAULT= line to choose which one is default. | 21:45 |
| chaos_ | in grub you can remove the extras so you dont see them when they boot. | 21:46 |
| chaos_ | ya | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | ealeon: 0 = first option, 1 = 2nd option, etc | 21:46 |

| zykotick9 | ealeon: hold shift after bios. BUT that's only a 1 time change! you need to edit the configs to make it permanent. | 21:47 |
| chaos_ | ya be careful modifying grub. if you mess up you might boot to a ugly grub terminal instead your desktop | 21:47 |

| chaos_ | i wouldnt worry about it much if i was you but you wont learn if you dont try | 21:48 |
| chaos_ | catch 420 | 21:48 |
| zykotick9 | ealeon: what ubuntu version are you using ("lsb_release -sc" from terminal if unsure)? could you still be using grub1 (aka grub-legacy)? | 21:48 |
| ealeon | okay ill try that | 21:48 |
| ealeon | so im at grub right now | 21:49 |
| ealeon | type SET DEFAULT =1 | 21:49 |

| WeThePeople | jordan_u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284017/ | 22:09 |
| rsser | hummm.. wow, I remembered => there is a problem I can't solved yet. I can't run the compiz on VM | 22:09 |
| chaos_ | any power user has many books. all you newbs start there for sure and here of course but start there first | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | rsser first learn the basics, don't start with compiz in virtual machines | 22:10 |
| chaos_ | rsser: you are crying about compiz in a VM? that is not important | 22:10 |
| chaos_ | rsser: try this command to fix that.... 'compiz; rm-rf /' usually fixes for me | 22:11 |
| MonkeyDust | chaos_ don't say that | 22:12 |
| bekks | !danger | 22:12 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 22:12 |

| decbot | rsser: here's what I did, try to run linux as your sole operating system. Email, web, games, etc... you'll figure out what you don't know and what doesn't work and you start from there. | 22:12 |
| MonkeyDust | chaos_ btw, I tried it in a VM, it does nothing | 22:12 |
| rsser | chaos, stop to be jerk. If you don't want help me, everything is fine | 22:12 |
| iceroot | chaos_: with something like that you are not welcome here, stop that | 22:12 |
| Myrtti | chaos_: when helping, be helpful. If you don't have something productive to say, then stay quiet. | 22:13 |
| chaos_ | oops | 22:13 |
| bkerensa | What Myrtti said | 22:13 |
| rsser | decbot: I need to test first of serveral ways | 22:13 |
| chaos_ | wow i didnt even know all you was sandbagging on the conversation. you can at least help and not just watch what we say | 22:13 |
| iceroot | chaos_: the same for you, you can start help others and stop being a troll | 22:14 |
| Myrtti | now that we've establish it wasn't ok to suggest rm'ing your system, can we move on? | 22:14 |
| chaos_ | if you cry about what to do with ubuntu and then ask about compiz in a VM then of course you get some smart a$$ remark | 22:14 |
| chaos_ | sorry though i know it was mean and could been devastating | 22:15 |
| decbot | so what do we move on do? dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda | 22:15 |
| gardllok | NEED HELP! I broke my apt :( or perhaps the kernel itself? I cannot apt-get install/remove anything without getting an error that leads to this log file: http://pastebin.com/vB9i6i2U , This has occured since a failed attempt to install virtual box almost a week ago.

| actionParsnip | decbot: no, don't run that | 22:16 |
| rsser | chaos, on ubuntu don' t I have the power to make anything what I want? Why don't I have to install compiz on VM? | 22:16 |
| decbot | yeah, don't run what I posted, it's another bad command | 22:16 |
| MonkeyDust | rsser I repeat: first learn the basics, don't start with compiz in virtual machines | 22:16 |
| chaos_ | you can you just need hardware to support it. | 22:16 |
| rsser | I can't install video drives on VM | 22:16 |
| AMDAthlon | how do i defrag ext4? | 22:16 |
| === remi is now known as Guest82845 | ||
| rsser | chaos, I have the hardware | 22:16 |
| chaos_ | pump up your vm settings and see if you can get it to work | 22:16 |
| chaos_ | ya but its being used in an abstract way | 22:17 |
| actionParsnip | AMDAthlon: there is a tool, but its largely not needed in any way | 22:17 |
| MonkeyDust | !defrag > AMDAthlon | 22:17 |
| ubottu | AMDAthlon, please see my private message | 22:17 |
| iceroot | gardllok: what is the output of "uname -r" and "cat /etc/issue"? | 22:17 |
| rsser | but this vm looks like own video drive. It's not allow to install another video drive here | 22:17 |
| chaos_ | notice how you can control the memory cpu and all that | 22:17 |
| AMDAthlon | MonkeyDust: thanks ^_^ | 22:17 |
| actionParsnip | !info e4defrag | 22:17 |
| ubottu | Package e4defrag does not exist in precise | 22:17 |

| rsser | and it wasn't worked | 22:17 |
| chaos_ | does your vm video card support openGL? thats gonna be key i bet | 22:18 |

| iceroot | gardllok: strange is that you are running 3.2 and make is using the 3.0 headers | 22:18 |
| rsser | yes, chaos | 22:18 |
| k1l | AMDAthlon: there is no need for the windows-manner to defrag the partitions yourself | 22:18 |

| moogly | hi | 22:19 |
| gardllok | iceroot: ubuntu 10.10 \n \l with 3.0.1-030001-generic.....its a blackbuntu i modded for 3.0.1-030001-generic | 22:19 |
| iceroot | rsser: and that is ubuntu? because ubuntu is not usinf 3.6 | 22:19 |
| moogly | i just downloaded this, how do i change it to look black like in the software center? | 22:19 |
| iceroot | gardllok: not supported here | 22:19 |
| gardllok | iceroot: only way i could get my wireless drivers to work was go 3.0.1-030001-generic | 22:19 |
| iceroot | gardllok: and 10.10 is eol and we dont support ubuntu forks here | 22:19 |
| bkerensa | gardllok: We do not support blackbuntu here. | 22:19 |
| bluefox83 | well...for whatever reason my college seems to be blocking regular irc connections (outgoing) it's rather annoying... | 22:19 |
| gardllok | kk ty | 22:19 |
| gardllok | ty anyway :) | 22:19 |
| Jordan_U | AMDAthlon: You do not need to do 90% of the things listed in http://polishlinux.org/apps/cli/ext4-defragmentation-with-e4defrag/ . You can use the e4defrag utility out of the box with Ubuntu 12.04 (though you'll probably find that you don't have much fragmentation to begin with. | 22:19 |
| moogly | someone haing trouble with wireless drivers? | 22:19 |
| chaos_ | i dont know. sorry i cant help bro | 22:19 |

| xtingray | hi, I want to include my project as part of the official repository of Ubuntu... someone can help me? | 22:20 |
| bkerensa | !justask | uw | 22:20 |
| ubottu | uw: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:20 |
| k1l | uw: hold super down for the shortcut table | 22:20 |
| uw | wow thanks k1l didnt know that | 22:21 |
| rsser | iceroot: I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with kernel version 3.6.1 | 22:21 |
| MonkeyDust | xtingray make a ppa, hope someone picks it up and if it's good enough, it may in time be incuded in the official repos | 22:21 |
| uw | wonder why they changed it | 22:21 |
| iceroot | rsser: ok | 22:21 |
| uw | to piss users like me off? | 22:21 |
| rsser | people told me my system would instable | 22:21 |
| uw | mission accomplished! | 22:21 |
| rsser | but it is working fine | 22:21 |
| k1l | uw: alt is needed for the HUD | 22:21 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | hi how r u? | 22:21 |
| xtingray | MonkeyDust, got it... I already made the ppa, so I'll wait for "someone"... thanks | 22:22 |
| uw | btw holding super down is supposed to make a menu appear? | 22:22 |
| actionParsnip | rsser: we can't support 3rd party kernels here, its probably the source of your issue | 22:22 |
| bekks | uw: No. | 22:22 |
| uw | doesnt look like anything is comming up | 22:22 |
| the_dudez0r | ROFL @ PPA'S | 22:22 |

| rsser | actionParsnip: ? | 22:22 |
| rsser | I didn't get it | 22:22 |
| actionParsnip | rsser: the3.6 kernel is not from the Ubuntu repos | 22:22 |
| rsser | okay | 22:22 |
| rsser | yes, actionParsnip, I got it | 22:23 |
| shadedpixel | actionParsnip: was about to say that | 22:23 |
| rsser | thank you | 22:23 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | Why am I warned every time i want to install something from the software center? Not authorized packages.. how can I get rid of the warnings, both in SC and in terminal | 22:23 |
| shadedpixel | If im up-to-date the latest kernel version in the repos is 3.2.0 | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | ItsAllGoneWierd: "sudo apt-get update" usually fixes that. | 22:24 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | Jordan_U, thx, will do that | 22:24 |

| actionParsnip | ItsAllGoneWierd: its the key to authenticate the packages with, you added a source but not the key | 22:31 |
| actionParsnip | ItsAllGoneWierd: is; sudo apt-get update now smooth? no key error? | 22:31 |

| blob4000 | hey all. i noticed that my Ubuntu 12.04.1 login screen still shows 12.04 at the bottom, did something go wrong during the upgrade? | 22:42 |
| vivid | blob4000, no | 22:42 |
| actionParsnip | blob4000: not sure the login page shows the dot releases | 22:42 |
| vivid | blob4000, if you enter a tty it should show 12.04.1, the login page does not | 22:42 |
| actionParsnip | ItsAllGoneWierd: if you copy the file to /usr/bin you can run it when you need it | 22:43 |
| PRabyte | hey gotta a quick question: how do i remove a program i installed with tar -xzvf whatever.tar. i know i can remove this dir. however, it created dirs all over the place. is there a way i can remove quickly and simply ./configure --prefix=/etc/whatever this time? | 22:43 |
| vivid | blob4000, you can edit that 12.04 image though, adding the .1 :p its open source | 22:43 |
| genii-around | PRabyte: It *may* have an uninstall option for "make" | 22:43 |
| zykotick9 | PRabyte: installing from source on ubuntu isn't a great idea IMO. but look for a make uninstall option | 22:43 |
| PRabyte | genii-around: ill check, what am i looking for... | 22:44 |
| blob4000 | thanks for the responses. i guess my question has more to do with keeping my unbutu always up to date, and if things like the login screen version number don't change, i wonder what else didn't update | 22:44 |
| PRabyte | ok. brb | 22:44 |
| actionParsnip | PRabyte: you may need the source then run the same configure command, then run: sudo make clean | 22:44 |
| gordonjcp | blob4000: stuff like that won't update for something like a point release | 22:44 |
| genii-around | PRabyte: eg: make uninstall if it exists, if not then make clean or make dist-clean | 22:44 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | actionParsnip, ok, thx! done :) | 22:44 |
| vivid | blob4000, nothing didnt update. that image has never changed in any release to date | 22:44 |
| blob4000 | gordonjcp: oh ok, but it will update if i go to 12.10? | 22:45 |
| blob4000 | and beyond | 22:45 |
| PRabyte | genii-around: will i need to specify the --with statements as well? | 22:45 |
| actionParsnip | ItsAllGoneWierd: I have a few cheeky scripts like that, dead handy | 22:45 |
| vivid | blob4000, yes, but not likely to show the point release nu bers | 22:45 |
| gordonjcp | blob4000: yes | 22:45 |
| actionParsnip | blob4000: the login screen has 12.10 here | 22:45 |
| blob4000 | thanks! another side question. if i do a distro upgrade from 12.04.1, does it get 12.10? or is that only this Thursday? | 22:46 |
| blob4000 | after* this Thurs | 22:46 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | actionParsnip, one day I will learn that myself, i hope | 22:46 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | blob4000 | 22:46 |
| ubottu | blob4000: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 22:46 |
| vivid | blob4000, you could dist-upgrade any time you like, but its best to wait for the official release | 22:46 |
| actionParsnip | blob4000: you can uprade to the beta 2 pre-release now if you want | 22:46 |
| ItsAllGoneWierd | actionParsnip, i will see you again, tnx :) | 22:46 |
| blob4000 | thanks for the answers! | 22:46 |
| genii-around | PRabyte: If they pointed to system locations to put the binaries it made, yes | 22:46 |
| actionParsnip | ItsAllGoneWierd: you will, with time :) | 22:46 |
| * zykotick9 thinks dist-upgrade MUST be one of the most misunderstood commands | 22:47 | |
| PRabyte | there is no uninstall with make, sighs... | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | zykotick9: not so much misunderstood as badly named | 22:47 |
| vivid | zykotick9, not really, it used to serve that purpose with debian, ubuntu has changed its method | 22:47 |
| blob4000 | gordonjcp: yeah the name really throws people off, understandable | 22:47 |

| zykotick9 | actionParsnip: 12.04 -> 12.10, is LTS -> non-LTS.... in some ways, a downgrade of sorts ;) </OT> | 22:49 |
| actionParsnip | hikmet: how do you mean 'voyager'? | 22:49 |
| actionParsnip | zykotick9: depends if you want bleeding edge ;) | 22:49 |

| blob4000 | oh, what do you use? | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | blob4000: doesn't matter. | 22:50 |

| vivid | wtb nvidia-experimental-310 | 22:51 |
| hikmet | yes | 22:51 |
| hikmet | actionParsnip yes | 22:52 |
| actionParsnip | hikmet: then it's nt Ubuntu, so not supported here | 22:52 |
| actionParsnip | *not | 22:52 |
| hikmet | it is xubuntu based | 22:52 |
| vivid | hikmet, doesnt change his comment, look for a channel for your distribution | 22:52 |
| actionParsnip | hikmet: yes, based. Ubuntu is based on debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here | 22:52 |
| actionParsnip | hikmet: this channel only supports canonical releases, not the spinoffs which people make | 22:53 |

| actionParsnip | chuck_tes: not default but they can be installed | 22:57 |
| === Fudgsicle is now known as Fike | ||
| Dragonster82 | Hello everybody! | 22:58 |
| chuck_tes | okay i will try and isntall them using the synaptics package manager. one more question...is Ubuntu Web Server like a terminal command line OS or does it have a GUI? | 22:58 |
| zykotick9 | chuck_tes: fyi, ftp must die. BUT proftpd was my fav when i used to run ftp servers. | 22:58 |
| actionParsnip | chuck_tes: the server OS has no GUI and is all CLI, if you need a desktop, I suggest you install the desktop OS | 22:58 |
| zykotick9 | actionParsnip: +1 | 22:59 |
| chuck_tes | ack. ok im going to ge the desktop. thank you. zykotic: why must ftp die? i thought ftp is quite useful for transferring files? | 22:59 |
| iceroot | chuck_tes: ftp is unsecure and should not be used anymore | 23:00 |
| Dragonster82 | @chuck_tes did FTP die? | 23:00 |
| actionParsnip | chuck_tes: it's inefficient and unsecure. I'd suggest SFTP which you will get when you install openssh-server | 23:00 |
| zykotick9 | chuck_tes: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie fyi you might want to see "/msg ubottu tab" | 23:00 |

| Radikal08 | Judahlion: but i never configurated any pass for it, do i do that on ubuntu 12.04.01? | 23:04 |
| Dragonster82 | Cya guys, I've got to go to school. | 23:04 |
| judahlion | Radikal: you have to chose a pass when you install it, no? | 23:05 |
| Radikal08 | Judahlion: but I never installed ubuntu 9.04... thats strange | 23:05 |
| michealPW | Yea, pretty sure every Ubuntu install asks for a username and password :\ | 23:05 |
| Radikal08 | I installed Ubuntu 9.04 the day it actually came out.. but after that, this harddrive has been formated many times.. so its not supposed to be able to find ubuntu 9.04.. and its definately not supposed to be able to actually start it and start up the login screen, because i dont have it | 23:06 |
| judahlion | Radikal08: do this command: | 23:06 |
| Radikal08 | so i thought it was an option that came with ubuntu 12.04.01 to | 23:06 |
| Radikal08 | oh | 23:06 |
| schultza | i wish that rsync had a % copied showing | 23:06 |
| judahlion | sudo update-grub | 23:06 |
| Radikal08 | whjat the | 23:07 |
| judahlion | Radikal:no that's not an option for sure! | 23:07 |
| Radikal08 | "found ubuntu 9.04 on /dev/sda3 | 23:08 |
| Radikal08 | i never installed it | 23:08 |
| Radikal08 | how can i find that sda3? | 23:08 |
| monopole | Radikal08: thats a partition on your sda hard disk | 23:08 |
| schultza | sudo fdisk -l | 23:08 |
| judahlion | Radikal: use gparted or something to format that again | 23:08 |
| wyvern | #4chan @ Rizon | 23:09 |
| Radikal08 | I will try and do that, thank you | 23:10 |
| judahlion | Radikal08: and don't forgete to do this afterwards: sudo update-grub | 23:13 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | Hi i cant get input to work on ubuntu | 23:16 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i can hear the feedback of my mic thru my headphones | 23:16 |
| judahlion | and irssi is the best! :) | 23:16 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but i cant get it to work on actual apps | 23:16 |
| michealPW | No way, XChat is the best! | 23:16 |
| kristopher | first time here. is this a ubuntu help chat? | 23:17 |
| michealPW | Konversation is awesome, too, though... Try them all! :) | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | judahlion: redundant comments are OT here ;) | 23:17 |
| blackshirt | kristopher,yes | 23:17 |
| vulcanmum | hey room | 23:17 |
| vulcanmum | I am new to ubuntu and brand new to xchat | 23:17 |
| kristopher | thank you blackshirt... do i just ask all or is there a person to speak to? | 23:18 |
| Guest93516 | hi somebody knows about cgi programming? | 23:18 |
| blackshirt | !ask | kristopher | 23:18 |
| ubottu | kristopher: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:18 |
| Rallias | is there an equivelant to screen for graphical applications? | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | Rallias: no that i've ever heard of. screen ftw ;) | 23:19 |
| actionParsnip | Rallias: thereare 4 workspaces by default | 23:19 |
| vulcanmum | I was directed here from reddit, someone said this was a good room for ubuntu help | 23:19 |
| Rallias | actionParsnip: I want something that works with x forwarding. | 23:19 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anyone able to help with a sound problem? I can hear my mic through my headphones but cant get it to work with actual apps | 23:19 |
| actionParsnip | vulcanmum: its the official support channel for the distribution | 23:19 |
| Rallias | Like, I log out the machine, when I log back in, the window is just like I left it. | 23:20 |
| zykotick9 | Rallias: vnc. BUT that's not like screen ;) | 23:20 |
| vulcanmum | thanks | 23:20 |
| judahlion | whereismyspoon: did you checked you settings with alsamixer? | 23:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | judahlion: i havent got anything muted and have stuff turned up | 23:20 |
| PRabyte | tanks l8 | 23:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | judahlion: have sound card selected | 23:21 |
| Rallias | zykotick9: yeah... I dislike vnc... otherwise I would go with that. | 23:21 |
| vulcanmum | I don't even know how to use xchat yet, I tried adding my server that I use for another chat room I go to but it didn't open | 23:21 |
| zykotick9 | Rallias: i think vnc is silly... | 23:21 |
| Rallias | Proof in point. | 23:21 |
| compdoc | vnc is awesome | 23:21 |
| zykotick9 | Rallias: use terminal apps, then screen works flawlessly ;) | 23:21 |
| Rallias | VNC is awesome, except for the fact that I can't overlap multiple windows running on separate machines. | 23:22 |
| vulcanmum | how do you address someone specifically in here, in chat, without having to type thier whole name? | 23:22 |
| judahlion | Whereismyspoon: so you want to hear the mic trough your speakers in place of you headphone right? | 23:22 |
| compdoc | overlap multiple windows? | 23:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | judahlion: i dont want to hear or not hear the mic | 23:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | judahlion: i want the mic to be detected by apps so it will work in them | 23:22 |
| Rallias | vulcanmum: type part their name, hit tab | 23:22 |
| actionParsnip | vnc is horrible | 23:22 |
| compdoc | I can open several vnc sessions at the same time, so not sure what that means | 23:22 |
| judahlion | vulcanmum: in irssi its: /q nickname | 23:22 |
| vulcanmum | ok thanks Rallias | 23:22 |
| kristopher | i would like to use my laptop as a desktop but after i make external display my main and reboot it goes back to laptop display. then i have to redo the settings after every reboot or shut down | 23:23 |
| flyinprogramer | following this guide to setup a home ldap/samba server; http://www.danbishop.org/2012/06/02/ubuntu-12-04-ultimate-server-guide-first-draft/3/; which is awesome, except ldap definitely isn't working right now, i try and do ldapaddgroup and i get: DNS SRV: Could not turn DN="localhost" into a domain, -> Error adding group domainadmins to LDAP | 23:23 |
| Rallias | compdoc my big anti-vnc reason is that it's all one window when I connect, I can't pull those windows outside of the VNC. | 23:23 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: In XChat use the top menu: XChat -> New -> Server Tab | 23:23 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: That will open a new server tab. Then in that new server tab, just type /server address.of.server | 23:23 |
| vulcanmum | ok I'm having a problem with ubuntu restricted extras | 23:24 |
| compdoc | Rallias, hmm, I think I see how you do it. Its the client, then | 23:24 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: Or, in that new tab, click XChat -> Network List.. and use that. | 23:24 |
| actionParsnip | vulcanmum: in what way? | 23:24 |
| flyinprogramer | err i get: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) errors | 23:24 |
| Rallias | I just want to do x-forwarding | 23:24 |
| Rallias | but with windows that stick around even after I log out. | 23:24 |
| vulcanmum | oh ok thanks guys let me see if I can make this work | 23:24 |
| vulcanmum | I just only recently got decent internet, I've been stuck on dial up since we got it in 97! | 23:25 |
| kristopher | i want my external display to stay as my main but i have to change it back after every reboot | 23:25 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anyone able to help with a sound problem? I can hear my mic through my headphones but cant get it to work with actual apps | 23:26 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: save to your xorg.conf (if you have one). what video card are you using ("lspci | grep -i vga" from terminal if unsure)? | 23:26 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: Woot, I remember dial-up! | 23:27 |
| Radikal08 | Hello, im trying to install a theme... and im trying to run a command, but its not workign, but i can use something called "PPA" instead, what is a ppa? | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | Radikal08: see "/msg ubottu ppa" | 23:27 |
| vulcanmum | ok I figured out how to add my other server thanks guys | 23:27 |
| bazhang | !addppa | Radikal08 | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Radikal08: Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details | 23:28 |
| Radikal08 | thank you! | 23:28 |
| WeThePeople | anybody know what this error means>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284113/ | 23:28 |
| vulcanmum | michaelni, I have only had satellite internet for like three weeks, so I'm playing web catch up hard | 23:28 |
| kristopher | i hate to be that guy but im a noob. i use a hp pavilion dv5-1183cl with nvidia geforce 9600m gt. its a laptop i use as a desktop. | 23:29 |
| kristopher | so i close the lid and just use a external tv hooked up hdmi | 23:30 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: in nvidia-settings use the "save settings" (or similar named) button | 23:30 |
| vulcanmum | ok with ubuntu restricted extras I'm trying to intall it, it wouldn't install thru software center so I copied "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" to that terminal | 23:30 |
| kristopher | zykotick9: i do save it but i have to redo it after every reboot | 23:31 |
| vulcanmum | I got all the way thru it until it had a $ sign and a command prompt | 23:31 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: sorry. i have no suggestion then. best of luck. | 23:32 |
| vulcanmum | :) | 23:32 |
| vulcanmum | so xchat doesn't have smilies | 23:32 |
| kristopher | np thanks for trying. | 23:32 |
| vulcanmum | zykes-, any help with my problem? | 23:32 |
| vulcanmum | brb coffee | 23:32 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: when you run/open nvidia-settings, does it ask for your sudo password? if not, then try "gksudo nvidia-settings" make your changes, then use the save button. | 23:33 |
| Deckking | Yo peoples | 23:33 |

| bobofosho123 | hello | 23:34 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: Well, after apt-get runs unless there was a problem it will just exit and bring you back to your terminal (The dollar sign $) | 23:34 |
| bobofosho123 | I know this an ubuntu support channel, but does anyone here use windows 7 at all? | 23:35 |
| rcmaehl | bobofosho123: ##windows | 23:35 |
| bobofosho123 | much obliged | 23:35 |
| kristopher | do i type that in terminal? | 23:35 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 23:35 |
| kristopher | sweet it came right up and didnt even have to go through settings.... but it already had the settings im using now. should i reboot then do it the way you said? | 23:38 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: You can test it by simply playing an MP3, I think (ubuntu-restricted-extras provides mp3 codecs, among others right?) | 23:38 |
| Marzatha | if I have 8-16 GB RAM, what size the swap should be? | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: did you click the "save to xorg" button? if so, yes, reboot to test. | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: do you want to use hibernate? | 23:39 |
| Marzatha | zykotick9: yes and suspend | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: must be larger then physical memory then! | 23:40 |
| kristopher | is that the save to x configuration file at the bottom? | 23:40 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anyone able to help with a sound problem? I can hear my mic through my headphones but cant get it to work with actual apps | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: fyi for hibernate only, suspend doesn't have that limitation. | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: yes. | 23:40 |
| Marzatha | zykotick9: ok, if not hibernate? what size the spam? | 23:41 |
| kristopher | then im screwed... it came back with Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! | 23:41 |
| vulcanmum | mich yes that's what it does, I'm hoping by installing it I will be able to get my music off of my harddrive | 23:41 |
| actionParsnip | kristopher: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig first | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: spam = 0 ;) swap with 8GB+ memory could be fairly small, but you need some! | 23:42 |
| Guest39623 | i have sb 24 bit live.....wheres my sound | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: actionParsnip is correct | 23:42 |
| actionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 23:42 |
| vulcanmum | when I installed clementine it brought in my music from my usb drive but not my computer...anyone know how I can do that? will I just have to put all my music on my flashdrive using windows for clementine to use it? | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: spam = 0 ;) swap with 8GB+ memory could be fairly small, but you need some! | 23:43 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: made alsa info file | 23:43 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: want it pastie'd? | 23:43 |
| DenverDave | hello.. just installed 12.04 and trying to get middle mouse button scrolling in FF.. found several items but none work.. any pointers? | 23:44 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: I dont' use Clementine but you probably just have to open it's settings and point it to your music on your computer, like the directory it's in. | 23:44 |
| Marzatha | zykotick9: so do ppl use hibernate at all? | 23:44 |
| kristopher | Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". | 23:44 |

| FloodBot1 | kristopher: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:44 |
| michealPW | vulcanmum: By default it probably just isn't looking in the particular directory (Folder) your music is stored on your computer. | 23:44 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: i do, it's an uptime cheat ;) but it's disabled by default in recent ubuntu versions! | 23:45 |
| kristopher | i didnt mean to screw that up sorry | 23:45 |
| kristopher | but thats what i got | 23:45 |
| Marzatha | zykotick9: but with 16 GB .... | 23:45 |
| Marzatha | zykotick9: thank you! | 23:45 |
| ls612 | Does anyone know if there is an Eclipse Juno package for 12.04? Currently the one on the Software Center is still the Indigo package. | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | Marzatha: in order to use hibernate you'd need 16+GB swap ;) | 23:46 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: http://pastie.org/5070464 is the output | 23:46 |
| kristopher | after i did the sudo nvidia thin you said | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: DON'T use sudo with GUI apps, use gksudo!!! | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: you can read "/msg ubottu gksudo" for deatils | 23:46 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: i dont have pulse installed | 23:47 |
| DenverDave | hello.. just installed 12.04 and trying to get middle mouse button scrolling in FF.. found several items but none work.. any pointers? | 23:47 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but will do that | 23:47 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: SORRY! nvidia-xonfig IS a terminal application! my bad. | 23:47 |
| michealPW | DenverDave: In the firefox configuration, you need to enable "Autoscrolling" | 23:48 |
| kristopher | and i ran it like you said but it came back with bunch of stuff i posted on here. but the web bot got on to me. | 23:48 |
| DenverDave | michealPW, I did and still not like in winbloze.. | 23:48 |
| michealPW | DenverDave: What do you mean, what's the problem exactly? | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | kristopher: you might want to see "/msg ubottu paste" in your irc client | 23:49 |
| Guest39623 | got sb 24 bit live......wheres my sound | 23:49 |
| DenverDave | michealPW, I want to be able to use my middle scroll button to scroll up and down in FF | 23:49 |
| DenverDave | I have tried the pushbutton of scroll button but not liking it | 23:49 |
| ph1rm | hello, i think im haveing trubble with my repos. when i go to install anything it comes up with a bunch of errors and cant download anything | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | Guest39623: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update | 23:50 |
| juniour_ | ph1rm restart you system | 23:50 |
| michealPW | Right.. But after you check that option in FF's config and you press down your scroll wheel, you get an autoscroll icon appear and you can scroll up and down by moving your mouse up and down yes? | 23:50 |
| ph1rm | okay will do | 23:50 |
| michealPW | Sorry, DenverDave ^ | 23:50 |
| DenverDave | michealPW, no worries.. | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | DenverDave: do you mean scroll wheel BUTTON (aka button3) then mouse pointer to scroll up/down? OR just mouse wheel scroll? | 23:51 |
| kristopher | i hope you have a heart for noobs cause i have no idea what you mean by that im sorry. /msg ubottu paste in irc client | 23:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: did what you said, still mic doesnt work | 23:52 |
| DenverDave | zykotick9, just scroll the middle button up and down and have the page do the same without moving the mouse | 23:52 |
| PMantis | Hi guys. Is there a way to show a different background on the lock screen than on my desktop? | 23:52 |

| actionParsnip | PMantis: ubuntu-tweak can do that I believe | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | DenverDave: IF you had an xorg.conf i'd suggest << Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" | 23:52 |
| PMantis | actionParsnip: I'll check. thank you. :) | 23:53 |
| michealPW | It will send a message to a bot, ubottu "paste" which causes the bot to reply automatically with useful information about pastebinit, I think. | 23:53 |
| zykotick9 | DenverDave: sorry, >> | 23:53 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 23:53 |
| ph1rm | precise | 23:53 |
| kristopher | thanks for that michealPW very much. now what? | 23:53 |
| michealPW | DenverDave: Oh! You mean your middle-mouse wheel doesn't scroll the screen at all? | 23:53 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: yet you have lucid in the output? | 23:53 |
| DenverDave | michealPW, bingo sir :) | 23:54 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: does the system have web access? | 23:54 |
| ph1rm | i attempted to fix it, i can take the lucid out easly | 23:54 |
| ph1rm | yes it dose | 23:54 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: what should i do now? =/ | 23:55 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/precisesources.list; sudo apt-get update is it smooth? | 23:55 |
| michealPW | DenverDave: Ah, well, that's a completely seperate issue then! I see, I'm on the right page now ;) | 23:55 |
| ph1rm | actuall i backed it up before tampering with it ill try that | 23:55 |
| actionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: if you run the 'sound' app in dash, are the right input and output devices selected? | 23:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: you mean alsamixer? | 23:56 |
| Guest39623 | someone help me with my sound | 23:56 |
| DenverDave | michealPW, sorry for the misunderstanding | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: no, in dash there is a sound app. | 23:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | not in my dash | 23:56 |
| rcmaehl | I need help unlocking a HDD with hdparm. It's been forever and a half since I last used it so I forgot how. | 23:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | actionParsnip: i have the "mixer" app | 23:57 |
| actionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: search for the word: sound and you'll see it, or in the cog menu in top right you may seeit there | 23:57 |
| ph1rm | now i get | 23:57 |
| ph1rm | http://pastebin.com/Tqw6bs1d | 23:57 |
| Guest39623 | my sound? | 23:57 |
| michealPW | DenverDave: Well normally Xorg should automatically probe and detect your mouse's wheel. I suppose you could use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to create an xorg.conf and then manually add the mapping for your mouse wheel to it.. :\ | 23:58 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: try: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null | 23:58 |
| michealPW | Maybe somebody else in here has a better idea, DenverDave :P | 23:58 |
| actionParsnip | ph1rm: then run: sudo apt-get update | 23:58 |
| WeThePeople | how do i run a setup.py script | 23:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | WeThePeople: "python setup.py" | 23:58 |
| ph1rm | that had no return, | 23:58 |
| michealPW | So, should DenverDave use dpkg-reconfigure to generate an xorg.conf or is there a better way? | 23:58 |
