[00:00] <Guest39623> i checked sound control. all is on. no sound
[00:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> actionParsnip: in input devices there is nothing listed except under monitors
[00:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> no hardware or s/w defices
[00:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> devices*
[00:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> yet i can hear my mic through my headphones
[00:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> how the hell does this work O.o
[00:00] <DenverDave> michealPW, I am going to try that. but I switched over to KDE as I did not like unity
[00:00] <altin> anyone knows graphics driver for a thinkpad t60
[00:01] <altin> I'm not able to find any :S
[00:01] <michealPW> I like KDE, too. It's nice that with Ubuntu you can have both easily without problems :)
[00:01] <rcmaehl> I keep getting SECURITY_ERASE: Input/output error
[00:01] <michealPW> I even have GNOME 3 installed too haha
[00:01] <actionParsnip> ph1rm: 1. Your sources.list file was messedup so I gave you a default one
[00:01] <mcy> I accidentally formatted hard disk /dev/sdb.how to restore data?
[00:01] <ph1rm> how do i " enable component called 'universe' " via CLI
[00:01] <actionParsnip> ph1rm: 2. Set your DNS servers to one online as the one(s) you are using suck
[00:01] <michealPW> DenverDave: So in KDE, it'll be in System Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse, if it's anywhere I think hehe
[00:02] <ph1rm> lol okay will do
[00:02] <Fudge> hi I have netbook using ralink rt2800 driver according to lshw -C network but asks for wireless password and does not connect, need some help
[00:02] <Guest39623> anyone help!!!
[00:02] <usr13> mcy: What is done is done.  Hate to be bearer of bad news, but.
[00:03] <mcy> anyone help!!!
[00:03] <usr13> mcy: Sorry.
[00:03] <actionParsnip> mcy: use your backups
[00:03] <Guest39623> my sound?
[00:03] <Jordan_U> mcy: "formatted" how? What did you actually do?
[00:03] <mcy> dd command
[00:03] <mcy> ?
[00:03] <usr13> Guest39623: Here's how it works.  You ask questions, someone else tries to answer questions.
[00:04] <blackshirt> mcy, not always works,but you can try testdisk,or photorec.., but you have formatted your disk, thats bad...
[00:04] <Guest39623> got sb 24 bit live how do i get sound?
[00:04] <usr13> mcy: Give the complete command you used.
[00:04] <Jordan_U> mcy: What is the exact command you ran? (please include in your comment a warning that the command will wipe a drive).
[00:04] <actionParsnip> mcy: no, your backups you made of your important data, you may find foremost works if you don't have backups (for whatever reason)
[00:04] <blackshirt> mcy, don't do a lot of write on your disk
[00:05] <mcy> dd if=.....iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
[00:05] <DenverDave> michealPW, I looked there.. not working for me
[00:05] <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
[00:05] <ph1rm> how do i enable universe via command line
[00:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> actionParsnip: what shall i do now?
[00:06] <usr13> So you copied an iso to the drive?  Did that drive have any partitions on it?  What was on it before?
[00:06] <Jordan_U> mcy: OK, so you've definitely lost all of the data which was contained in the first X MiB of the disk, where X is the number of MiB in the iso image.
[00:06] <usr13> mcy: And just out of curiosity, what exactly was your intention?
[00:06] <zykotick9> ph1rm: look into /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <actionParsnip> WhereIsMySpoon: my sound troubleshooting is very basic, keep the pastebin though
[00:06] <michealPW> DenverDave: The Keyboard, Mouse, Video chip(s) and Display(s) are all controlled by the X Windows Server, called Xorg. Normally, Xorg runs without a configuration file. It automatically probes your machine and identifies all those devices. I'm thinking it is failing to identify your mouse as having a wheel..
[00:07] <actionParsnip> ph1rm: if you are using the one I gave it should be enabled
[00:07] <usr13> mcy: You should try and mount it and see what is really there, (and not there).
[00:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> actionParsnip: :( ok, i asked in #alsa too but got nothing
[00:07] <DenverDave> michealPW, I hear ya.. been a while.. where is the xorg.conf? /etc?
[00:07] <rcmaehl> Also, I need help setting up Nvidia X Configuration so I can have my desktop on 3 monitors, right now it's only on 2 and the others are white
[00:07] <usr13> mcy: But just beware that it is what it is.  You can't undo what you've done.
[00:07] <michealPW> DenverDave: If you follow my above instructions, I think it will get you up and running with an xorg.conf configuration file for your Xorg. Then you can open that xorg.conf and add a line to your mouse section, mapping the wheel ( Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5")
[00:07] <mcy> to restore the rest data on the disc   without X MB?
[00:08] <actionParsnip> Guest39623: select to upload to the server and a URL will be made
[00:08] <actionParsnip> mcy: use foremost, as I sasid
[00:08] <usr13> mcy: Mount the drive and see what is on it.  (What is there is there, what is not is not.)
[00:08] <actionParsnip> mcy: why do you not have a backup of the data if it is important?
[00:08] <michealPW> DenverDave: Like I said, you don't have one (yet) you can open a terminal (alt+F2, type konsole and hit enter) and type the following commands: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:08] <mcy> just a rookie
[00:09] <usr13> mcy: First, sww hat partitions are on it.  Issue command:  sudo fdisk -l
[00:09] <Jordan_U> mcy: actionParsnip: If you had multiple partitions, then using testdisk to restore the partition table might get more data back than foremost or similar tools that just grep raw data for things that look like files.
[00:09] <actionParsnip> mcy: look into foremost. It may help but the data may be damaged if it has been overwritten
[00:09] <michealPW> DenverDave: It will bring up a configuration utility that will guide you through generating an xorg.conf.
[00:09] <michealPW> Basically ^_^
[00:09] <ph1rm> ok so i attempted to    apt-get install irc11   and it says it has to be enabled
[00:09] <Smackbook> is there any command to view or modify power saving settings through the terminal?  or file to edit?  my ubuntu seems to shut the monitor down after 10 minutes of inactivity, and I am running xbmc-live
[00:10] <kristopher> zykotick9 you were helping me right
[00:10] <actionParsnip> mcy: you'll need a writable partition to spit ALL files found. So it will need to be suitably sized. If you had a backup you wouldn't be in this issue
[00:10] <Jordan_U> mcy: Did you have multiple partitions before dding the iso to the drive?
[00:10] <jrib> Smackbook: xset
[00:10] <mcy> trying testdisk
[00:10] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: xbmc live ist supported here
[00:10] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: i dont think its an xbmc problem
[00:10] <Smackbook> i just mean to say I dont have access to the gui
[00:10] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: its not an Ubuntu problem
[00:11] <kristopher> after i did the x config save it came up with a box that all i had to do was save again and worked.... THANKS SO MUCH.
[00:11] <PMantis> actionParsnip: I don't see any option in ubuntu-tweak to set the lock screen background. Perhaps another place to look?
[00:11] <mcy> yes multipartitons
[00:11] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: except, yes it is, it is an ubuntu system which happens to have the xbmc-live metapackage installed.  and the problem is not with xbmc live
[00:11] <zykotick9> kristopher: "helping" is debatable ;)  the non-saving nvidia graphics [ i had to scroll back to remember ]
[00:11] <mcy> about 5
[00:11] <kristopher> i have rebooted and it worked flawlessly
[00:11] <zykotick9> kristopher: nice :)  well done
[00:12] <michealPW> DenverDave: Oh wait, I'm wrong. Use Xorg -configure
[00:12] <michealPW> instead :)
[00:12] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: only Canonical releases are supported here, spinoff distributions are not. So it's not supported here
[00:12] <DenverDave> michealPW, ok I did that.. where is the xorg.conf again?
[00:12] <Smackbook> this is 12.04 LTS
[00:12] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: Ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
[00:12] <Jordan_U> mcy: OK, you've probably lost most if not all of the data from the first partition, but the other partitions are probably fine.
[00:12] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: its a spinoff, just like the others, and like the others, it's not supported here
[00:13] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: 12.04 is a spinoff?
[00:13] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: no, xbmc live is a spinoff
[00:13] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: i understand what you are saying, but how am I not getting across that this is a problem with power saving settings in 12.04
[00:13] <kristopher> you were right its just that i had to pay more attention thank your knowledge. again thank cause this is a problem i have had with ubuntu for some time and it was my own fault not ubuntu.
[00:13] <usr13> mcy: Why don't you skip all the speculation and see what you have?
[00:13] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: you are using xbmc live, so your issue isn't supoprted here
[00:14] <Jordan_U> mcy: This step by step guide has as one of the examples what to do to restore a deleted partition, which is basically what you want to do: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[00:14] <mcy> yes i know,ive scan it .what im doing is try to restore
[00:14] <michealPW> DenverDave: Here, maybe this will be better help than me haha http://askubuntu.com/questions/129941/my-ubuntu-12-04-has-no-xorg-conf-is-that-normal
[00:14] <Jordan_U> mcy: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[00:15] <Smackbook> you are saying that when someone goes installs 12.04 LTS off the isos from ubuntu.org, then goes into synaptic and add a certain package, that the distribution is now a spinoff and not supported?
[00:15] <Smackbook> are ubuntu systems with packages installed no longer ubuntu?
[00:15] <giorgio> hi , i don't know how to troubleshoot this, but when i boot my laptop i get xbuntu then a black screen
[00:15] <usr13> Jordan_U: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[00:15] <nydel> is a 12.10 beta ready for wubi installations?
[00:16] <usr13> mcy: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[00:16] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: thats fine, but using 'XBMC live CD' is a spinoff, not supported here
[00:16] <giorgio> can anyone help me pleasr
[00:16] <DenverDave> michealPW, Thanks looking at that now
[00:16] <usr13> giorgio: Sure
[00:16] <rcmaehl> I need help with sensors. I've already run installed lm-sensors and ran sensors-detect however it still doesn't show the same amount of sensor data I get in Windows. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit
[00:16] <usr13> mcy: ... and send us resulting URL
[00:16] <giorgio> usr13: i am on ubuntu 12.04
[00:16] <mcy> ..
[00:17] <michealPW> DenverDave: This method seems even easier http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336863
[00:17] <michealPW> Same idea though, just a different approach.
[00:17] <usr13> giorgio: And.... (keep it all on one line.)
[00:17] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: if you aren't using a Canonical release, its not upported here. You are using XBMC live CD which is not a Canonical release, it's not supported here
[00:17] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: its hugely simple
[00:17] <WeThePeople> anybody know what this error means?>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284163/
[00:17] <bfortified> anyone here familiar with smuxi that can help me figure out the buffering/logging feature?
[00:18] <DenverDave> michealPW, Cool.. have to dive off to kill X now.. bbiab with results
[00:18] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: no offense, but you are obviously not aware that xbmc-live can be chosen as a desktop manager like ubuntu or gnome-classic
[00:18] <michealPW> Righto, good luck mate :P
[00:18] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: I'm very aware, I've used it
[00:18] <Jordan_U> bfortified: Have you tried asking in #smuxi?
[00:18] <bfortified> yea
[00:18] <vivid> nice one ubuntu, finally holding up to the hype!
[00:18] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: just that the xbmc liveCD distro isn't supported here. Its not ubuntu, it's only based on ubuntu
[00:18] <mcy> it is a 500GB hdd .testdisk needs 150 minutes to scan all of it
[00:18] <michealPW> WeThePeople: That's an error from Python when it tried to execute a script, I think?
[00:19] <vivid> thank you for a timely nvidia-experimental release :D
[00:19] <bfortified> Jordan_U: yea although i might have figured it out already low bandwidth mode maybe?
[00:19] <giorgio> usr13: i was working on it last time was yesterday and was browsing the net. now i tried and nothing but black screen
[00:19] <WeThePeople> michealpw, yes i know thanks
[00:19] <michealPW> nvm iunno what that's all about
[00:20] <mcy> and testdisk doesnot have a  Graphical interface
[00:20] <usr13> giorgio: Do you see anything prior to the black screen?  (Should be some information going by as it boots. Right?)
[00:20] <Smackbook> in my case I have lightdm replaced with uxlaunch running xbmc, there is no liveCD.  This is the official 12.04 release from ubuntu.org.  and you are telling me that because of my package configuration, it is not ubuntu
[00:20] <danielcsgomes> hi everyone
[00:20] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: ^
[00:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> actionParsnip: i just ran ubuntu-bug sound and i got "No pulseaudio fails to detect card"
[00:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> -No
[00:20] <danielcsgomes> I am facing an issue with the libsvn-perl
[00:20] <actionParsnip> !ops | Smackbook I've told you
[00:20] <mcy> y
[00:20] <usr13> giorgio: What happens when you do  Ctrl-Alt-F6?
[00:21] <danielcsgomes> I am on a ubuntu 12.04 and I installed git-svn and libsvn-perl
[00:21] <giorgio> usr13: nope, just xbuntu screen then black screen. i am chatting to you from the same laptop . i did alt-f1
[00:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> anyway you can run a server on ubuntu?
[00:21] <danielcsgomes> I have installed the perl 5.14.2 but when install the libsvn-perl it creates a new perl folder 5.10.1
[00:21] <OerHeks> WhereIsMySpoon, SB live 24 is a soundcard hard to control in linux.
[00:21] <danielcsgomes> anyone had this problem?
[00:21] <usr13> giorgio: You are using it now?  And all you have is a black screen?
[00:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> OerHeks: i dont have a specific soundcard
[00:21] <zykotick9> giorgio: you might want to look for lines the have EE in them in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
[00:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> OerHeks: just onboard
[00:22] <usr13> giorgio: OH, so you are in tty1?
[00:22] <danielcsgomes> I'm getting the error: Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/perl/5.14.2
[00:22] <giorgio> usr13: yes
[00:22] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: thats fine.  I welcome an Op to resolve this.  what you are saying is rediculous
[00:22] <usr13> giorgio: ls  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:23] <actionParsnip> !backtrack | Smackbook for example
[00:23] <michealPW> They wont "resolve" it, hehe, you're just going to get booted :P
[00:23] <usr13> giorgio: Does it tell you that the file does not exist?
[00:23] <giorgio> usr13: its there
[00:23] <actionParsnip> Jordan_U: can you assist please
[00:23] <danielcsgomes> anyone face this problem?
[00:23] <usr13> giorgio: mv  /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[00:23] <siulcastillo> hi
[00:23] <zykotick9> !derivatives | Smackbook actionParsnip
[00:23] <siulcastillo> what is it?
[00:23] <Smackbook> actionParsnip: thats fine, it makes perfect sense.  but I am not using an ubuntu derivative.  I am using standard ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[00:24] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> When I do Apt-Get upgrade i get FATAL -> Failed to fork.
[00:24] <usr13> giorgio: And just for the heck of it:  pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:24] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: xbmc live CD isn't ubuntu 12.04   it's only 'based' on 12.04
[00:24] <Smackbook> there is no live CD as you keep trying to tell me I am using in order to exclude me from support
[00:24] <usr13> giorgio: And send resulting URL.
[00:24] <danielcsgomes> siulcastillo: are you asking me?
[00:25] <muelli> !details | [_-S1L3NC3-_]
[00:25] <OerHeks> WhereIsMySpoon, my bad, mixed up with Guest39623
[00:25] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok

[00:26] <mcy> i should go back to my original point
[00:26] <Jordan_U> Smackbook: Did you install Ubuntu from an official Ubuntu iso? If so, have you added any third party repositories since then?
[00:26] <DenverDave> michealPW, Im back.. and you said to change the xorg.conf section to just 4 5 right?
[00:27] <actionParsnip> Jordan_U: (01:09:58) Smackbook: is there any command to view or modify power saving settings through the terminal?  or file to edit?  my ubuntu seems to shut the monitor down after 10 minutes of inactivity, and I am running xbmc-live
[00:27] <michealPW> DenverDave: Right, open your xorg.conf and find the mouse's device section and add this: Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
[00:27] <usr13> giorgio: Or, you can just give us the last 20 or so lines:  tail -n 20 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
[00:27] <giorgio> usr13: how can i yank the url from tty1 to here
[00:27] <WeThePeople> what does this error mean? and can anybody help fix it, it for autokey-gtk>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284163/
[00:28] <jrib> actionParsnip, Smackbook: I think there was some sort of miscommunication.  xbmc-live is just a package in ubuntu's repositories.  It may also be a live cd of some sort, but in this  Smackbook is saying he installed 12.04 from ubuntu and then installed the xbmc-live package
[00:28] <actionParsnip> !info xbmc-live
[00:28] <usr13> giorgio: just type it in
[00:28] <siulcastillo> hola
[00:28] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: my mistake, apologies
[00:28] <muelli> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: can you pastebin us the full output you get, including the very command you execute..?
[00:28] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> okay

[00:28] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, do you know python?
[00:29] <actionParsnip> WeThePeople: not at all, the guys in #python will
[00:29] <fsgrawdsaf> hello. Is it possible to install ubuntu or any other *buntu distribution with dd to an pendrive, so that after first boot, everything is modificable?
[00:29] <xyzone> yes
[00:29] <danielcsgomes> I'm having a problem with libsvn-perl using apt-get, it install under 5.10.1 when the perl version installed is 5.14.2 anyone knows how to solve this?
[00:29] <danielcsgomes> tks in advance
[00:29] <usr13> giorgio: ... if you have mouse enabled in console mode, and if you are in the same tty, but probably not possible.  But It's not important.  You can just try and restart the xserver
[00:29] <DenverDave> michealPW, I changed it to that.. still no dice
[00:29] <xyzone> fsgrawdsaf, better to use unetbootin
[00:30] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: why with dd or pendrive?  just install to the usb, like a regular HD.
[00:30] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: I have an xorg.conf file with this at the bottom: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284174/
[00:30]  * [_-S1L3NC3-_] ~ ~ ~   http://pastebin.com/yiDASr18
[00:30] <actionParsnip> Smackbook: also check power settings and screen saver settings
[00:30] <Smackbook> jrib: man ok, jrib thanks, actionParsnip, thats ok
[00:30] <fsgrawdsaf> xyzone: no, unetbootin is not a choise. It uses fat32 filesystem
[00:30] <michealPW> DenverDave: Righto, once you've added that to your xorg.conf and xorg.conf is in the right location, just restart
[00:30] <Smackbook> thanks i will dig around in there
[00:30] <usr13> giorgio:  sudo service lightdm restart
[00:30] <jrib> Smackbook: did « xset q » not show anything interesting regarding power-saving features or screensavers?
[00:31] <fsgrawdsaf> zykotick9: the installation should run via dd
[00:31] <DenverDave> michealPW, Ok then.. and right location would be?
[00:31] <xyzone> fsgrawdsaf, then just regular install to usb
[00:31] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> brb
[00:31] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> notice me if needed
[00:31] <fsgrawdsaf> not regual installation. so it should be an already bootable edition
[00:31] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: so, install correctly once.  then image to the usb drive.
[00:31] <giorgio> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284172
[00:31] <xyzone> but for linux fs, anything but ext2 is silly on flash drive
[00:31] <Smackbook> jrib: eh trying that now
[00:31] <michealPW> DenverDave: /etc/X11/
[00:32] <fsgrawdsaf> zykotick9: then its not compressed any more
[00:32] <DenverDave> michealPW, Ok when I ran the Xorg -configure it put it in my home dir so I am going to move it there now.. brb
[00:32] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: if you still want casper, or want to install from it, then ya - i don't have a suggestion.
[00:33] <michealPW> DenverDave: Righto. You'll have to use sudo and cp. like sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:33] <fsgrawdsaf> zykotick9: it should fit to a realy small usb pendrive
[00:33] <mcy> 救命啊
[00:33] <michealPW> Iunno where exactly it put it I can't remember
[00:33] <giorgio> usr13: lightdm restart did not do it
[00:33] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: sorry, i got nothin'.  best of luck.
[00:34] <fsgrawdsaf> Does anybody here know a distribution that is "normaly" installed with dd and just dont own an insaller or something else?
[00:35] <danielcsgomes> if I unnistall perl on ubuntu 12.04 and install it again what issues can I expect'
[00:35] <danielcsgomes> ?
[00:36] <giorgio> !seen usr13
[00:36] <jrib> danielcsgomes: umm, why do you want to do that?  I bet a lot of things depend on perl
[00:36] <actionParsnip> fsgrawdsaf: ubuntu liveCD desktop has dd by default
[00:36] <zykotick9> danielcsgomes: probably none.  it will be exactly the same.  uninstall/reinstall seldom does anything on gnu/linux.  purge might do more.  and stuff in your home directory can also be an issue.
[00:37] <fsgrawdsaf> actionParsnip: ??? You dont understand.what i mean
[00:37] <genii-around> actionParsnip: I sort of thought they meant more like some dist that you just dd an image to a drive and it's done, no installer
[00:37] <vulcanmum> ok my internet went wonky there for a minute
[00:37] <DenverDave> michealPW, No dice
[00:37] <vulcanmum> michaelni,  are you still in here?
[00:37] <actionParsnip> genii-around: fsgrawdsaf: Oh I thought you  just needed the tool
[00:38] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: an "install" from dd, makes little to no sense.  but regardless, ubuntu is not installed in that manner, so it's OT here.
[00:38] <vulcanmum> or was it michealPW  that was helping me?
[00:39] <michealPW> Yup here
[00:39] <vulcanmum> hi michealPW  do you have any suggestions on how to get clementine to import from my harddrive? or will I have to just copy to my flashdrive using windows?
[00:40] <danielcsgomes> jrib: zykotick9 I want to install libsvn-perl under 5.14.2
[00:40] <danielcsgomes> but it installs it under 5.10.1 when my perl version is 5.14.2
[00:40] <danielcsgomes> I need it for git-svn
[00:40] <zykotick9> !info libsvn-perl
[00:40] <jrib> danielcsgomes: what ubuntu version?
[00:41] <michealPW> DenverDave: In a terminal, try typing this: xmodmap -pp
[00:41] <danielcsgomes> 12.04 precise
[00:41] <giorgio> usr13: are you still there
[00:41] <michealPW> DenverDave: A useful tool for showing the output of tools like xmodmap is PasteBin. Install pastebinit (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) and then you can issue that command like this: xmodmap -pp | pastebinit
[00:41] <uw> so there's no more synamptic i guess hmmm?
[00:41] <jrib> danielcsgomes: so what's the exact issue with simply using the version in the repositories that you get by doing « sudo apt-get install libsvn-perl »?
[00:42] <giorgio> actionParsnip: can you assist me please
[00:42] <vulcanmum> I think I'm just getting lost in here, I think most chatters in here are experienced users...I'm just a newbie not knowing anything
[00:42] <michealPW> DenverDave: That will run the command, pipe it's output to pastebinit and pastebinit will create a PasteBin post and return a link to it all automatically hehe
[00:42] <fsgrawdsaf> zykotick9: ah, find something. Debian Live have prebild images for exactly this (USB-HDD image). Is there the same from ubuntu?
[00:42] <uw> giorgio, thats a good way to not get help
[00:43] <michealPW> vulcanmum: Well, I'm not familiar with Clementine sorry. Where on your hard drive is your music, do you know the path?
[00:43] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: that's true.  i only tried usb-hdd once.  no ubuntu doesn't have that (as far as i know).
[00:43] <alg34> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=02c9ae578f9f9b7a56540493eccef27009b1efb5
[00:43] <zykotick9> fsgrawdsaf: <OT> debin-live doesn't impress me though </OT>
[00:43] <vulcanmum> no I really don't
[00:43] <DenverDave> michealPW, I rand xmodmap -pp and it is a 1 for 1 down the line
[00:44] <alg34> using sb24bit live. no sound
[00:44] <actionParsnip> alg34: Natty is EOL in a matter of weeks, I suggest you upgrade to a later release
[00:44] <danielcsgomes> jrib: the issue is that when I run < sudo apt-get install libsvn-perl> it installs the files under /usr/lib/perl/5.10.1
[00:44] <danielcsgomes> and my perl version is 5.14.2
[00:44] <michealPW> vulcanmum: So in Clementine click on Settings (If you're using Ubuntu you'll have to push your mouse to the top of the screen to see the File | Edit | Settings menus) and then in Settings, click on Music Library tab
[00:44] <vulcanmum> do most of the people in here do their own coding for ubuntu?
[00:44] <michealPW> vulcanmum: In there, you will point Clementine to the folder on your hard drive your music is in.
[00:44] <actionParsnip> alg34: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get install --reinstall pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     Wait 10 seconds and reboot
[00:45] <deadmund> vulcanmum: most people in here do not code (I think)
[00:45] <jrib> danielcsgomes: I'm not familiar with perl packaging, but how are you determining that?
[00:45] <orlok> Is there any way to enforce password strength policies under Ubuntu?
[00:45] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> back
[00:45] <deadmund> vulcanmum: the usuals probably all code
[00:45] <actionParsnip> .msg alg34 hi
[00:45] <danielcsgomes> jrib: finding the system for the files it should installed
[00:45] <michealPW> DenverDave: Well, xmodmap -pp will show you what mouse buttons were found and mapped
[00:45] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ! http://pastebin.com/yiDASr18
[00:45] <michealPW> DenverDave: Useful to figure out what's going on. Try using pastebinit like I suggested, it helps a lot :P
[00:45] <vulcanmum> wait so the usuals are not in here is that what you're saying? lol
[00:45] <DenverDave> michealPW,  well there ya go
[00:45] <jrib> danielcsgomes: can you pastebin the result of « apt-cache policy libsvn-perl; dpkg -L libsvn-perl »?
[00:45] <danielcsgomes> jrib: if you see the package it should install under /usr/lib/perl5/ directory
[00:45] <DenverDave> :)
[00:46] <giorgio> uw: but this is not fair! i spent a good 30 min  explaining my problem and the guy was helping me disappeared :)
[00:46] <giorgio> now i will have to explain it again ;)
[00:46] <giorgio> here we go.
[00:46] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> lol
[00:46] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[00:47] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:47] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: what was 'lol' for?
[00:47] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok thanks
[00:47] <danielcsgomes> jrib: http://pastie.org/5070693
[00:47] <michealPW> DenverDave: When I type xmodmap -pp it says: "There are 13 pointer buttons defined." then lists them all in a table

[00:48] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: again, why the 'lol', please?
[00:48] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> lol @ in regards to giorgio explaining again
[00:48] <DenverDave> michealPW,  same for me
[00:48] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: I see, makes sense :D
[00:48] <jrib> danielcsgomes: look at your apt-cache policy output
[00:49] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> so nothings happening actionparsnip
[00:49] <giorgio> i am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my hp dv7. it was running fine till last night. i came from work and i power it up and all what i get is a black screen (after bios screen , i get Xbuntu background for a second then black screen. i am using tty2 on the same laptop to chat here with you. i don't know where to start to troubleshoot this! can i get help here please. thank you in advance
[00:49] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: if you just have a cursor flashing, its because the command is running
 why do you have amd64 and i386 package lists ?
[00:49] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> oh ok
[00:49] <xyzone> giorgio, press e at grub and enter 3 at the kernel line, then press f10
[00:50] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> idk lol
[00:50] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: your system isn't as fast as you think
[00:50] <michealPW> DenverDave: So, first do: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[00:50] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:50] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i shall wait
[00:50] <danielcsgomes> jrib: didn't understood is
[00:50] <giorgio> xyzone: how do i get to grub
[00:50] <DenverDave> michealPW, done that
[00:50] <michealPW> DenverDave: Then, do: xmodmap -pp | pastebinit
[00:50] <DenverDave> michealPW, did that too
[00:50] <DenverDave> it pasted it here
[00:50] <DenverDave> doing it again
[00:50] <michealPW> Then copy/paste the link to me :P
[00:51] <jrib> danielcsgomes: well, what repository is being listed in the version with the "***" by it?
[00:51] <michealPW> Oh, I missed it sorry about that hehe I still can't see it
 are you on backtrack ?
[00:51] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i have backtrack 5, but no?
[00:51] <jrib> danielcsgomes: you have some third party repository ("wandisco") and that's the cause of your issues.
[00:51] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> its running on a VPS
[00:52] <actionParsnip> oh jeez VPS are always a pain
[00:52] <giorgio> xyzone: i typed grup from tty2 and what i get was that grub is not installed and i need to do apt-get install grub
[00:52] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> can be
[00:53] <danielcsgomes> jrib: where it could be?
[00:53] <jrib> danielcsgomes: what do you mean?  Where what could be?
[00:53] <uw> what is a good way to get codecs
[00:53] <dr_willis> uw:  install ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[00:54] <actionParsnip> uw: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:54] <danielcsgomes> jrib: where can I find that repo to remove it
[00:54] <danielcsgomes> source list?
[00:54] <jrib> danielcsgomes: it would be somewhere in your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[00:54] <Dacs> xyzone: any suggestions please
[00:54] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> actionParsnip        still nothing is happening

[00:55] <uglyoldbob> Im having a problem upgrading from 10.04 LTS to 12.04LTS. The message for upgrading to the new release is not showing up when following the guide at (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades)
 how did you add the amd64 or i386 repo's ? this is not from a install, you must have edit the sources list somehowe. reverse that.
[00:56] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> sources list
[00:56] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:56] <actionParsnip> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: let it run dude, it'll get there
[00:56] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> so nano and delete em ?
[00:56] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:57] <danielcsgomes> jrib: tks I think I found it
[00:57] <Radikal08> Is there anything I can do? On windows or Mac, I can download in around 300 KB/s as my router is to bad to deliver higher speeds... but on Ubuntu i can only download in 40 KB/s...
[00:57] <danielcsgomes> I got a svn.list under source list.d folder
[00:57] <danielcsgomes> pointing to lucid :S
[00:58] <danielcsgomes> now is ok
[01:01] <Dacs> any help folks please
[01:02] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, what happens when you enter 'startx' in the terminal
[01:02] <dr_willis> Dacs:  So the login graphical screen works or not?
[01:02] <Dinomuffin> actaully nevermind
[01:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> If i wanted to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 would i first do aptitude full-upgrade?
[01:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> or just apt-get upgrade
[01:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> i have aptitude and apt installed
[01:02] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  you use the upgrade tools. not aptitude.
[01:02] <simosx> offtopic: Gangman Style on Ubuntu, http://simos.info/blog/archives/1272 ;-)
[01:03] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: so just apt?
[01:03] <Programmer_> is /usr/sbin/dnsmasq required?
[01:03] <Dacs> dr_willis: i don't get it
[01:03] <Programmer_> it got me in trouble with my university
[01:03] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  theres a specific tool. do-release-upgrade
[01:03] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: its bugged
[01:03] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: used it to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and had to manually remove /run
[01:03] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: its a confirmed bug
[01:04] <dr_willis> Dacs:  do you get the graphical Login screen?
[01:04] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, type 'startxfce4' in the terminal
[01:04] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/908614
[01:05] <Dacs> dr_willis: no i don't
[01:05]  * firebalrog starts
[01:05] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: that did it!
[01:05] <firebalrog> startx
[01:05] <WhereIsMySpoon> im kinda hesitant to use that command again now that happened
[01:05] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, cool
[01:05] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: thank you...so now how can i search to find out what happend to cause this
[01:05] <Dacs> diminoten: to learn for future
[01:06] <particledust_> hi
[01:06] <particledust_> can anyone help?
[01:06] <Dacs> dr_willis: thank you for your help as well
[01:06] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> actionParsnip       still nothing
[01:06] <WhereIsMySpoon> !ask | particledust_
[01:06] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, you might try in the Xorg log or syslog
[01:06] <Dinomuffin> i'm not sure where xfce4 errors are logged to
[01:06] <Dinomuffin> or if it was xfce4
[01:06] <particledust_> i have installed mplabx on my ubuntu but i can launch it?
[01:06] <Dinomuffin> xorg might of asploded
[01:07] <vulcanmum> ok I really need some help guys
[01:07] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, was this the first time it happened?
[01:07] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: yes sir
[01:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: is there another way to upgrade whilst keeping my system mostly intact?
[01:07] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, well, it might of been a fluke then
[01:07] <vulcanmum> my screen keeps going black while I'm using ubuntu, is it my monitor? it doesn't seem to do it when I'm using windows...
[01:07] <michealPW> Xorg never asplodes, it's rox solids!
[01:07] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  i never upgrade, i always clean install.
[01:07] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, I've had it happen before too
[01:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: i have a load of programs installed and user envs i dont want to lose
[01:08] <uglyoldbob> so im using ubuntu 10.04lts and do-release-upgrade says "no new release found"
[01:08] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: cool, thank you again sir i will do i full reboot to see if i come across it again
[01:08] <dr_willis> I keep my /home/ on its own HD. so its not an issue for me WhereIsMySpoon
[01:08] <vulcanmum> do I have a bad copy of ubuntu?
[01:08] <Dinomuffin> Dacs, sure no prob
[01:08] <zykotick9> dr_willis: +1 on ubuntu clean install over upgrade
[01:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> uglyoldbob: sudo apt-get update
[01:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: isnt an option for me
[01:08] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: also /home doesnt contain installed programs
[01:08] <vulcanmum> am I not showing up in here?
[01:08] <particledust_> i want to run mplabx after i installed the run file
[01:09] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  i keep a list of what i always install and reinstall from the list.
[01:09] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: mm well i dont have a spare hdd
[01:09] <WhereIsMySpoon> and i havent done that
[01:09] <WhereIsMySpoon> so is there some way i can upgrade?
[01:09] <vulcanmum> can someone help me please
[01:09] <zykotick9> particledust_: "./foo.run && mplabx" might work?  fyi, installing run/bins might not be the best install method on ubuntu?
[01:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: whats the difference between sudo apt-get upgrade and your command
[01:10] <vulcanmum> is it because I'm a chick? lol
[01:10] <Dinomuffin> vulcanmum, what happens when you press ctrl + alt + f1 when it happens?
[01:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: nobody can possibly know your rl sex
[01:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: so no
[01:11] <vulcanmum> well it only goes black for a second or two
[01:11] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  to upgrade your ubuntu system o a newer release you want to use  the do-release-upgrade method. Just relying on apt and altering your sources.list is not the 'ubuntu way'   debian might do it that way - ive never really looked into it.
[01:11] <Dinomuffin> so, it just goes black for a second then comes back up normal?
[01:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: well as per the launchpad i linked, do-release-upgrade is broken
[01:11] <vulcanmum> yes Dinomuffin
[01:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> soooooo
[01:11] <Dinomuffin> vulcanmum, randomly, or at certain times?
[01:11] <vulcanmum> randomly
[01:11] <dr_willis> so id say wait for teh bug to get fixed..
[01:12] <particledust_> command not found
[01:12] <dr_willis> using the apt-get way will most likely break things even more
[01:12] <Dinomuffin> do the windows dissapear when it happens? like you just started it up?
[01:12] <vulcanmum> sometimes several times sometimes it pauses for awhile
[01:12] <genii-around> uglyoldbob: Check that Prompt=lts in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[01:12] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis: more than ubuntu not booting? :p
[01:12] <vulcanmum> no Dinomuffin just blacks out for a second and comes back to what was already on the screen
[01:12] <Dinomuffin> hm
[01:12] <Dinomuffin> maybe drivers then
[01:13] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  clean install then..  i guess.. or check the bug reports and forums for a work around  to get around the bug.
[01:13] <vulcanmum> well what do I do Dinomuffin
[01:13] <particledust_> how can i run a program after having it installed
[01:13] <particledust_> ?
[01:14] <deadmund> particledust_: type the name of the program into the terminal
[01:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: type the program name into a term
[01:14] <particledust_> command not found
[01:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: if i installed chromium, i would type "chromium-browser" into a term
[01:14] <particledust_> mplabx
[01:14] <firebalrog> Close your eyes and hope that it runs on its own
[01:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: then it isnt installed or that isnt its name
[01:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: or you didnt install it as super
[01:15] <particledust_> i did
[01:15] <Dinomuffin> vulcanmum: can you post your Xorg log to a pastebin?
[01:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: its one of those three
[01:15] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: after reboot i got the samething :(
[01:15] <vulcanmum> I dont know how to do that Dinomuffin  I'm really new to ubuntu
[01:15] <particledust_> i did install as super
[01:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: open log in gedit, ctrl-a, ctrl-c, open up www.pastebin.com, paste into that
[01:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> particledust_: then you're using the wrong name
[01:16] <vulcanmum> where is gedit?
[01:16] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: hm
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: just do "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> "
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> without the quotes
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> in a term
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: get used to opening programs via the terminal rather than double clicking them
[01:17] <dr_willis> or the dashs search feature. :)
[01:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> vulcanmum: its so much quicker to go "myProgram <aFile>" than navigate to program, double click, open file, find file, double click
[01:18] <rking> Do user crontabs (e.g. crontab -e) not get run by default?  (12.04)
[01:18] <vulcanmum> so type gedit/var/log/xorg.0.log into terminal?
[01:18] <jrib> rking: they do get run by default
[01:18] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  use proper spaces....
[01:18]  * jrib awaits real question
[01:18] <dr_willis> COMMAND filetoworkon
[01:19] <vulcanmum> so a space after gedit?
[01:19] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  the command is 'gedit' not 'gedit/var/whatever'   so .. YES>..
[01:19] <rking> jrib: Iunno. I'm helping a friend get his crontab going. He's on Ubuntu, and it's definitely not even firing (nothig in /var/log/* about it). I do the same sequence on my Gentoo/Debian systems and it goes fine.
[01:19] <DaemonicApathy> vulcanmum: copy and paste if needed: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:19] <dr_willis> spaces and proper CASE is imporntant in linux vulcanmum .
[01:20] <jrib> rking: it's easier if your friend just joins here
[01:20] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[01:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> wtf
[01:20] <Dacs> any other suggestion Dinomuffin ?
[01:21] <vulcanmum> alright I'm lost
[01:21] <itsswift> Hey anyone got suggestions on brightness reseting to max after my screen dims from lack of use
[01:21] <DaemonicApathy> itsswift, you might turn off dimming.
[01:21] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  if somthing like 'gedit filename' has you lost. You may want to look into reading some bash/command line tutorials..
[01:21] <itsswift> Any idea where to find that setting ?
[01:22] <jrib> rking: but yes, ubuntu will run user crontabs by default.  Make sure your friend is editing his by using « crontab -e ».  What else... Make sure he has used sane syntax for the time specification.  Make sure it's not a PATH issue.  Those are the usual culprits
[01:22] <DaemonicApathy> Applications > System Settings > Brightness and Lock
[01:22] <Dacs> should i install grub ?
[01:22] <itsswift> TY
[01:22] <DaemonicApathy> itsswift: any time
[01:22] <rking> jrib: Yeah.
[01:22] <rking> jrib: I had him put in 1 * * * * asdfasdf and it isn't telling him anything.
[01:22] <rking> jrib: You know what's severely messed up on his system?  The "mail" command. It doesn't exist.
[01:23] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: mind posting your xorg log to a pastebin?
[01:23] <jrib> rking: ubuntu doesn't have an MTA by default.  "1 * * * *" will only on the first minute of every hour
[01:23] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: i was about to fo that, because i tried to startx and i got an error :)
[01:23] <genii-around> rking: I think you need mailutils for that
[01:23] <DaemonicApathy> rking: I don't believe 'mail' is installed by default in ubuntu.
[01:23] <DenverDave> michealPW, Hello Im back
[01:24] <WeThePeople> dacs, what was the error
[01:24] <rking> jrib: Hehe, oh yeah.

[01:24] <aaron__> no sound
[01:24] <vulcanmum> ok I have the log what do I do with it now?
[01:25] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284223
[01:25] <ron__> can someone help me with a problem i am having on lubuntu? i can't install libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0. or rather i can't update and it keeps asking me too. without updating i can't download things like libre office.
[01:25] <DaemonicApathy> vulcanmum: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[01:25] <defekt> !pastbin | vulcanmum
[01:25] <Dacs> WeThePeople: i think because i tried to run it with sudo , not sure
[01:25] <wslyfor> 有人吗？
[01:26] <Dinomuffin> thanks
[01:26] <Dinomuffin> WeThePeople: his xfce session isn't starting automatically
[01:27] <bazhang> !cn | wslyfor
[01:27] <defekt> !jp | wslyfor
[01:27] <DenverDave> thanks everyone
[01:27] <wslyfor> oh,sorry
[01:28] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: WeThePeople as much as i need your help folks to get this working, i can't bare the wife nagging to go to the store
[01:28] <aaron__> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=38479edd3020e1a366f11bd1011b06622efaef86-----I have no sound......Help
[01:28] <vulcanmum> ok I opened pastebin
[01:28] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: WeThePeople thank you folks for trying and i will get back here and ask my question again
[01:28] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: sorry, i'm pretty sure its a config issue
[01:28] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: ok
[01:29] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: no worries mate. is there a way i can reconfig it
[01:29] <vulcanmum> so I put the log into the content of the pastebin how?
[01:29] <Dacs> reconfig Xorg
[01:29] <dr_willis> pastebinit /path/to/the/logfile   is a typical example command usage vulcanmum
[01:29] <ron__> can someone help me update my libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 an error keeps occurring.
[01:29] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: it's not xorg
[01:30] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: I'm not seeing any signs of xorg killing it
[01:30] <nerdcore> I really liked the netbook-launcher and maximus setup of 10.04 netbook edition. Is there a way I can get that setup under 12.04 desktop?
[01:30] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: you might try reinstalling xfce4-session
[01:30] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: how
[01:30] <vulcanmum> I'm sorry dr...I don't know how to do that, my friend told me I would be able to use ubuntu
[01:30] <Dacs> just via apt Dinomuffin
[01:30] <Dinomuffin> Dacs: yeah
[01:31] <Dinomuffin> that's what I would try anyways
[01:31] <Dacs> Dinomuffin: cool man , thank you again
[01:31] <Dacs> later
[01:31] <aaron__> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=38479edd3020e1a366f11bd1011b06622efaef86
[01:31] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  you use the command 'pastebinit' and give the full path to the log file afterwards...       Or open the log file in a text editor. and copy/paste it into  the pastebin web sites text entry field.
[01:32] <vulcanmum> ok I did that dr what do I do now?
[01:33] <vulcanmum> is this going to help my computer stop blacking out like that?
[01:34] <ruesy> hello
[01:34] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  the pastebinit command returns a url of the paste.. or you give the url here from the web site.
[01:34] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  i have no idea what your original issue is.. im just explaining how pastebin  and pastebinit works.
[01:35] <aaron__> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=38479edd3020e1a366f11bd1011b06622efaef86
[01:35] <vulcanmum> my screen keeps blacking out for a couple of seconds then comes back up, someone told me to pastebin my log for some reason
[01:35] <bazhang> !repeat | aaron__
[01:36] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  to look for errors most likely
[01:36] <vulcanmum> oh someone was going to look for errors for me?
[01:36] <dr_willis> errors messages are normally in the log files  - yes...
[01:38] <vulcanmum> I have another question, when I was downloading ubuntu it was saying how it was for everyone etc. I don't see how older people with even less computer knowledge than me could use ubuntu
[01:38] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:  my wife who is 51 yrs  old has no issues using ubuntu
[01:38] <vulcanmum> well that's not older lol
[01:39] <dr_willis> If you have hardware/driver issues in windows - you would be in the same 'state'
[01:39] <vulcanmum> will I ever be able to figure this out even tho I'm not a programmer? Or do you think I'm a lost cause?
[01:39] <dr_willis> hardware makers make it harder to achive the same level of support in ubuntu/linux as you get in windows.
[01:40] <bazhang> !manual | vulcanmum
[01:40] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:   Depending on your hardware, you may have had no problems whatso ever.. or 12.10 (the next release) may work just find.
[01:40] <dr_willis> fine.
[01:40] <dr_willis> and yes.. a read of the ubuntu manual is worth the time.
[01:40] <bazhang> !rute | vulcanmum
[01:40] <vulcanmum> that would be good
[01:40] <genii-around> particledust_:    . /opt/microchip/mplabx/mplab_ide/bin/mplab_ide
[01:40] <dr_willis> They really should put a big ICON on the panel pointing to the ubuntu manual. ;)
[01:40] <vulcanmum> the next release is coming out soon?
[01:41] <dr_willis> vulcanmum:   a few days i think.,
[01:41] <vulcanmum> yes I heard thursday
[01:41] <dr_willis> this channel will be total chaos for the week afterwards. ;)
[01:41] <dr_willis> i tend to not hang in here for the 2 weeks or so following a new release. ;) just to stressfull.
[01:42] <vulcanmum> I know you guys think I'm an idiot, I'm really not, I've just been stuck on dial up since 97 and haven't used the computer a lot other than simple browsing
[01:42] <dr_willis> 3000+ people in a channel is a bit much.
[01:43] <dr_willis> crawl, walk, run... then with Linux.. FLY... ;)
[01:43] <vulcanmum> Is the person that was going to look at my code still here?
[01:43] <dr_willis> Good night all..  bed time for the Dr.
[01:44] <vulcanmum> guess not, so is there a helpful programmer in here that could check out my code?
[01:44] <deadmund> vulcanmum: let's see it
[01:44] <deadmund> vulcanmum: what are you trying to do?
[01:44] <vulcanmum> thank you dead
[01:45] <vulcanmum> well I'm a new user and I'm not a programmer but sometimes my screen goes completely black for a second then comes back up to normal, it's not doing it right now but sometimes it's like over and over
[01:45] <vulcanmum> someone wanted me to pastebin my log so they could check for errors I guess
[01:45] <deadmund> vulcanmum: sounds like X is crashing.  Is it going black as a result of the programming you're running?
[01:46] <vulcanmum> it seems to be doing it at random times
[01:46] <deadmund> vulcanmum: Well then why is your code relevant?
[01:46] <vulcanmum> I was so scared it was my monitor, I'm very poor so wouldnt be able to buy a new one
[01:46] <vulcanmum> someone told me to show them the log idk
[01:46] <christoper> hello
[01:47] <vulcanmum> someone said something about drivers...
[01:47] <vulcanmum> hi christopher
[01:47] <christoper> does the ubuntu desktop installer require internet if i allready have it downloaded?
[01:48] <kantlivelong> christoper: dont believe so
[01:48] <kantlivelong> christoper: minus proprietary drivers
[01:49] <christoper> what do u mean minus proprietary drivers?
[01:49] <vulcanmum> deadmund,  you still there?
[01:50] <deadmund> vulcanmum: got a phone call...
[01:50] <deadmund> hang on
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> christoper, You might give an end goal here rather then hypothetical's, there could be updates you not have for example.
[01:50] <vulcanmum> brb
[01:54] <vulcanmum> are there always so many inactive chatters in here?
[01:55] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, yes.
[01:55] <vulcanmum> not like idle time boot?
[01:56] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, idle time boot ?
[01:57] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, some idle and read to learn, others just idle and help when they feel like it.
[01:57] <vulcanmum> oh ok that's cool just wondering, this is only the third irc chat I've ever used
[01:59] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, this irc channel was my first start too, learned a lot from questions and answers rollin by

[02:06] <Fudge> any quantal kernels backported to precise?
[02:06] <vulcanmum> this is so irritating, I really want to use ubuntu, it's been great until this problem started happening
[02:07] <mathfreak> what's the problem?
[02:07] <wilee-nilee> thechaser, It does not show up when plugged in? What is the model?
[02:07] <thor_> guts I have aproblem with my grahic card, it is an nvidia 6100, the installed driver is the 173, but ubuntu says: grahic controller unknow
[02:07] <thechaser> Nope its a Ienovo
[02:07] <vulcanmum> my screen keeps blacking out and coming back up
[02:07] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, check the cable to your pc ?
[02:07] <wilee-nilee> thechaser, What if you put a disc in it?
[02:08] <vulcanmum> I did, it seems like it wasn't doing it on windows
[02:08] <thechaser> All i have tried was a blank and nothing shows up
[02:08] <XiaolinDraconis> how do i install awn-extras? i got the tar.gz from launchpad, the instructions are not noob friendly.
[02:08] <mathfreak> vulcanmum:  what sort of "blacking out" is it like? Is it like turning on and off repeatedly?
[02:08] <vulcanmum> yes mathfreak
[02:09] <thor_> guys I have aproblem with my grahic card, it is an nvidia 6100, the installed driver is the 173, but ubuntu says: grahic controller unknow
[02:09] <vulcanmum> sometimes it stops for awhile
[02:09] <zenlunatic> s88
[02:09] <thor_> If I change the driver for the courrent version, the screen feel down and turn it in black
[02:09] <vulcanmum> sometimes it does it in rapid succession
[02:09] <mathfreak> hmmm
[02:09] <thor_> sorry was fall
[02:10] <thechaser> Any ideas?
[02:10] <wilee-nilee> thechaser, I found this link a little old but a lenovo dvd device. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552636
[02:11] <wilee-nilee> check #2
[02:11] <vulcanmum> someone mentioned drivers and someone wanted my log
[02:11] <mathfreak> good place to start
[02:11] <thechaser> Thanks ill check it over!
[02:11] <OerHeks> vulcanmum, check additional drivers if there is a driver available.
[02:11] <vulcanmum> start where mathfreak I'm a new user
[02:12] <vulcanmum> ok let me check thanks
[02:12] <mathfreak> ok, on the Ubuntu machine, bring up a terminal. Press alt-F2, type in "gnome-terminal" and press enter
[02:12] <vulcanmum> it says no
[02:13] <mathfreak> after the terminal comes up, go ahead and type "sudo lshw -C video"
[02:13] <vulcanmum> ok
[02:13] <mathfreak> enter password when prompted.
[02:13] <wilee-nilee> thechaser, As well lsusb in the terminal will list usb devices see.
[02:14] <mathfreak> paste the results to pastebin.com when you're ready, vulcanmum
[02:14] <thechaser> Alright so i figured it out and feel kinda dumb.. i just switched the usb cord it has two of them a long one and a short one and the shorter one worked lol
[02:15] <wilee-nilee> thechaser, Usually two cords mean a power and a data cord, is this the case here?
[02:15] <thechaser> yeah lol
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> hehe it happens. ;)
[02:16] <vulcanmum> its just four letters...
[02:16] <vulcanmum> was it sudo lshw -C video?
[02:16] <mathfreak> yep
[02:17] <vulcanmum> ok just paste that to pastebin even tho it's just four letters?
[02:17] <delinquentme> What ubuntu tool can I use to get the IP that a URL resolves to?
[02:17] <vulcanmum> oh shit nvm lol there it goes
[02:17] <riex> Hello. I got a problem with phpmyadmin, how to modify phpmyadmin only allows localhost by default for logging,
[02:17] <mathfreak> oh no, paste that command into the terminal
[02:18] <mathfreak> It should print out a bunch of information about your graphics
[02:18] <XiaolinDraconis> does anyone know how to install awn-extras?
[02:18] <vulcanmum> I did but four letters showed up but more code has shown up now
[02:18] <mathfreak> Yeah, after all that information stops printing out to the terminal, go ahead and copy all of that
[02:19] <XiaolinDraconis> make command returns error looking for 0.3.9 but the current version is 0.40
[02:19] <McQueen> hi, have a problem... adb shell "./data/local/tcpdump-arm -n -s 0 -w - | nc -l -p 12345"
[02:19] <mathfreak> You can copy it easily by clicking edit -> copy in the toolbar, or by pressing shift-ctrl-C
[02:19] <McQueen> its gives /data/local/tcpdump-arm -n -s 0 -w - | nc -l -p 12345"
[02:19] <McQueen> tcpdump-arm: listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),
[02:20] <McQueen> ./system/bin/sh: nc: not found
[02:20] <McQueen> whats the problem
[02:20] <vulcanmum> ok I'm done with that mathfreak
[02:21] <mathfreak> ok cool. Do you paste a copy of the information on pastebin.com?
[02:21] <vulcanmum> yes
[02:21] <riex> Hello. I got a problem with phpmyadmin, how to modify phpmyadmin only allows localhost by default for logging,
[02:22] <mathfreak> awesome. Go ahead and copy the web address after pasting to pastebin.com and post it here
[02:22] <mathfreak> let's take a look.
[02:22] <vulcanmum> bless you
[02:22] <vulcanmum> sorry if you're athiest, I mean it form my end tho!
[02:23] <mathfreak> not a problem. :p I'm here to help with computers as my main goal (and hang out)
[02:23] <vulcanmum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284266/
[02:23] <atem> hey mathfreak what is your profile?
[02:23] <vulcanmum> lol, is there any non ubuntu chat going on in here ever?
[02:23] <mathfreak> what profile?
[02:23] <atem> well i want to refer to your hobbies, the hours of study you haver
[02:24] <atem> i wanna be good, maybe one day as good as you are
[02:24] <mathfreak> atem: I'm still not quite sure I understand.
[02:25] <mathfreak> atem: it's mostly Google and some guesswork.
[02:25] <atem> i see is so easy :p
[02:25] <atem> forgive that :p
[02:25] <riex> nobody knows? :)
[02:26] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Everything there seems all right. Can you go to the terminal and type in "gnome-display-properties"?
[02:26] <mathfreak> It should bring up a window that lets you adjust your monitor settings
[02:27] <McQueen> http://pastebin.com/YSCJHuph
[02:27] <McQueen> why its getting nc not found
[02:27] <McQueen> ?
[02:28] <vulcanmum> ok hold up, thank you so much for helping math
[02:29] <OerHeks> McQueen, your 2nd attempt found nc, but you need options to that command.
[02:29] <juanhillo> hello
[02:30] <McQueen> OerHeks, i meant first attempt...
[02:30] <vulcanmum> wait do I need the *
[02:30] <McQueen> OerHeks, the 2nd attempt is for control nc installed
[02:31] <mathfreak> ? Where's the *?
[02:31] <vulcanmum> mathfreak, it says command not found
[02:32] <McQueen> OerHeks, any idea?
[02:32] <OerHeks> McQueen, no sorry i have no clue
[02:32] <georgetso> hello guys, I need a favor. I'm sudo user in my server and there's another server. Now I need to disable that user from call mysql command. any idea?
[02:32] <McQueen> OerHeks, thank you
[02:33] <georgetso> hello guys, I need a favor. I'm sudo user in my server and there's another user. Now I need to disable that user from call mysql command. any idea?
[02:33] <vulcanmum> mathfreak,  I typed in gnome-display-properties and it said command not found...is that bad?
[02:33] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Interesting. How about trying "xrandr"?
[02:34] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> can you run a IRC server on ubutntu ?
[02:34] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Ubuntu *
[02:34] <riex> Hello. I got a problem with phpmyadmin, how to modify phpmyadmin only allows localhost by default as login, the problem is if i add a new user without pointing localhost as host, if i use % then the user cannot login, only with localhost. How do i fix that?
[02:35] <vulcanmum> mathfreak,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284275/
[02:36] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Cool, thanks. I'll need a moment to search up some stuff.
[02:36] <vulcanmum> thank you mathfreak
[02:37] <DaemonicApathy> mathfreak: You don't play Go, by any chance?
[02:37] <mathfreak> DaemonicApathy: Nope.
[02:37] <DaemonicApathy> mathfreak: Alright, never mind. :-)
[02:38] <XiaolinDraconis> anyone here have awn-extras installed?
[02:38] <vulcanmum> Iv'e seen a lot of games on software center, I'm not good at first person shooters, what are some cool games? are any multiplayer?
[02:39] <DaemonicApathy> XiaolinDraconis: Depending on the question, you may want to check out #awn
[02:40] <XiaolinDraconis> vulcanmum, http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.04/
[02:40] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Are you using the Ubuntu computer with the screen problems right now?
[02:40] <XiaolinDraconis> im just trying to figure out how to install it
[02:40] <vulcanmum> yes mathfreak
[02:41] <vulcanmum> that link is not working, do links work in xchat? I'm neew here too, what is that site XiaolinDraconis ?
[02:41] <vulcanmum> brb
[02:41] <OerHeks> pleydeb is just a wine thingy, not really linux gaming
[02:41] <mathfreak> Do you know what your monitor is right now? (brand, model, etc.?)
[02:42] <XiaolinDraconis> OerHeks, stop telling lies
[02:42] <vulcanmum> no I don't it's an old fucker tho
[02:42] <vulcanmum> brb
[02:42] <XiaolinDraconis> vulcanmum, right click the link and select open in browser
[02:43] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Is it a CRT monitor?
[02:44] <vulcanmum> yes mathfreak
[02:45] <vulcanmum> oh nice XiaolinDraconis  any you would recommend?
[02:45] <bobmannn> G
[02:45] <bobmannn> Oops
[02:45] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: ah, I see. I'm going to take a guess that the refresh rate of the monitor is too high.
[02:46] <XiaolinDraconis> super tux cart is pretty cool
[02:46] <vulcanmum> I dont know how to change taht
[02:46] <vulcanmum> that
[02:46] <vulcanmum> it's old, I got it used from my comuputer guy years ago
[02:47] <mathfreak> yeah, I need to look up how to do that in a moment.
[02:47] <vulcanmum> well, I'm sorry you went thru all that work mathfreak
[02:48] <michealPW>  A simple way would be xrandr ?
[02:48] <mathfreak> Oh no, it's fine. I might be getting close. I just need to remember how to do this :p (I had monitor problems once before)
[02:48] <XiaolinDraconis> vulcanmum, AstroMenace is one of my favorites
[02:49] <michealPW> My kids love bzFlag ("The tank game")
[02:49] <michealPW> hehe
[02:50] <vulcanmum> oh hey michealPW
[02:50] <john_rambo> When I try to modify network connections or install updates Ubuntu doesnt ask for password. Is this a new policy?
[02:50] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Ok, let's see if this works. Try putting the following into the terminal: "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768_60.0"
[02:50] <vulcanmum> michealPW,  I think mathfreak  has it whittled down to it's actually my monitor
[02:51] <vulcanmum> k
[02:51] <wilee-nilee> john_rambo, What happens if you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal?
[02:52] <john_rambo> wilee-nilee, It asks for password
[02:53] <wilee-nilee> john_rambo, Some updates from the update manager do not require a password. As far as the network, a more detailed description would probably help, for the channel that is.
[02:53] <vulcanmum> ok now what mathfreak ?
[02:54] <mathfreak> Hmm... I'm guessing that it didn't work?
[02:54] <vulcanmum> um, some more code showed up
[02:54] <vulcanmum> I mean it's not blinking right now if that's what you mean?
[02:55] <mathfreak> well, that's definitely good news, I suppose.
[02:55] <mathfreak> out of curiosity, what does the stuff that gets printed out say?
[02:55] <vulcanmum> lol, was it supposed to bring up more code? do you want to see that code?
[02:55] <mathfreak> I don't think it was supposed to print anything out, but just in case, let's take a look.
[02:56] <vulcanmum> ok
[02:59] <vulcanmum> mathfreak,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284294/
[03:00] <mathfreak> oh, I see. make sure the dash in front of "output" and "mode" is actually a double dash. Also, I'm going to change the command slightly.
[03:01] <vulcanmum> change the command slightly then what do I do?
[03:01] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Try this. "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60.0" Also note that the dash in front of "rate" is a double dash.
[03:02] <vulcanmum> all the dashes look the same to me lol
[03:02] <vulcanmum> sooo two dashes in front of rate?
[03:02] <mathfreak> yup
[03:02] <mathfreak> two dashes in front of "output," "mode," and "rate"
[03:02] <vulcanmum> and the others are just one
[03:02] <vulcanmum> oh ok gotcha
[03:03] <mathfreak> For future reference, it's sort of like the language of the command line. Two dashes in front of words is usually the norm. One dash is for when you use single letters instead of words in the command.
[03:03] <mathfreak> There are some exceptions, but the above is the rule of thumb.
[03:04] <vulcanmum> ok it blinked my screan
[03:05] <mathfreak> ok, that's expected.
[03:05] <vulcanmum> oh ok thank you
[03:05] <mathfreak> can you type "xrandr" and paste the result into pastebin one more time?
[03:05] <mathfreak> I'm going to hope that if it's a problem with the refresh rate, this should fix it.
[03:07] <vulcanmum> you won't believe this but I was going to school for my computer tech license and my professor advisor told me I was wasting my time at thier 2 yr school and that I should go to a four year for programming, so I finished the semester and went to a four year, but left the school because I moved there with an ex bf and he took my car
[03:07] <vulcanmum> ok is it just me or is the computer screen hurting my eyes now...?
[03:07] <yepwatermelon> Hello everyone. I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and updated it to 12.10 after rebooting I noticed it grub doesn't pop up as it normally would, instead I get a purple screen until ubuntu finally loads. Anyone know how to disable this?
[03:08] <vulcanmum> wait 12.10 is out already? I thought that was going to be thursday
[03:08] <mathfreak> I always thought it was at the end of the month.
[03:08] <mathfreak> How's the monitor looking now, vulcanmum? How does it hurt your eyes?
[03:09] <yepwatermelon> I just updated to the beta
[03:09] <mathfreak> Does it seem like it's "fuzzy" or "fizzy"?
[03:09] <vulcanmum> yes, I was thinking vibraty but fizzy seems right
[03:09] <yepwatermelon> anyone?
[03:10] <mathfreak> yepwatermelon: you mignt want to take a look at your grub file
[03:11] <yepwatermelon> what would I be looking for though?
[03:11] <mathfreak> yepwatermelon: should be under /etc/default. See if the values next to the options hide the options
[03:12] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Does the monitor blink like before, though?
[03:12] <vulcanmum> no mathfreak
[03:12] <mathfreak> That probably means the problem was with your refresh rate.
[03:13] <mathfreak> Let's see if we can adjust it to make it less "fizzy"
[03:13] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: try "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 75.1" I've changed the rate value at the end from 60 to 75.1
[03:15] <vulcanmum> oh ok thanks
[03:15] <XiaolinDraconis> you seem to know a good deal about the video aspect
[03:16] <vulcanmum> mathfreak,  perfect! thank you so much!
[03:16] <yepwatermelon> There doesn't appear to be an option in grub.cfg that'd have the effect I described...
[03:18] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: All good? Awesome. You'll have to make that effect permanent, though.
[03:18] <vulcanmum> how's that?
[03:18] <mathfreak> You can put that command into a terminal everytime you log in.... or....
[03:18] <mathfreak> you can set it in as one of your startup commands.
[03:19] <vulcanmum> ok...whew...tell me how to do that please? I can see if I can do it
[03:19] <mathfreak> I'm most familiar with the classic GNOME desktop (so, no Unity for me :S )
[03:20] <mathfreak> But, that's okay
[03:20] <vulcanmum> oh ok, I can write down the code and do it the other way I suppose
[03:20] <mathfreak> You can launch a window for it by running "gnome-session-properties"
[03:21] <vulcanmum> ok, dumb it down for me a little? XD
[03:21] <mathfreak> sure
[03:21] <mathfreak> so, in the terminal, type "gnome-session-properties" and press enter
[03:22] <mathfreak> this should give you a window that lets you add and remove programs that you want to start up whenever you log in.
[03:22] <vulcanmum> ok that's open
[03:22] <vulcanmum> do I type in the code now? after I click add?
[03:23] <mathfreak> yeah, after "add" opens up a window, add in that xrandr command I had earlier to the field next to "command"
[03:23] <mathfreak> It would be good to give it a name too, something like, "xrandr command" or something (I'm not creative with names)
[03:24] <XiaolinDraconis> think you could figure out why my screen goes crazy when the resolution changes?
[03:24] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: I can give it a shot.
[03:24] <XiaolinDraconis> would be much appreciated
[03:24] <XiaolinDraconis> anytime i ask it seems im ignored
[03:25] <yepwatermelon> found it
[03:25] <theadmin> XiaolinDraconis: Well define "go crazy"
[03:25] <mathfreak> all right then. Let's start. What seems to be going on?
[03:25] <theadmin> XiaolinDraconis: I might have an idea here... Are you in KDE by any chance?
[03:25] <XiaolinDraconis> seems the horizontal refresh gets out of sync
[03:25] <XiaolinDraconis> lots of tearing and rapid scrolling
[03:26] <vulcanmum> yay! I'm fixed! Thank You mathfreak !!!!!!!!!!
[03:26] <XiaolinDraconis> theadmin, no
[03:26] <mathfreak> vulcanmum: Awesome. Enjoy Ubuntu!
[03:26] <theadmin> XiaolinDraconis: Oh okay, there's a KDE bug or something where enabling KWin's compositing breaks various screen-related things
[03:26] <theadmin> XiaolinDraconis: So guess that's not it, never mind
[03:26] <Ineedhelp> Hello there
[03:27] <Ineedhelp> By any chance does anyone know how to install netgear drivers for 10.04
[03:27] <Ineedhelp> without any internet connections
[03:28] <mathfreak> Try checking the install disc. There might be something there that can help you out
[03:29] <theadmin> mathfreak: That's unlikely -- all the drivers present on the CD get installed anyway
[03:29] <mathfreak> Ah I see. Never mind then.
[03:30] <theadmin> mathfreak: Also, please specify the name of the person you're talking to in front of your message so that a) the person gets notified, b) others aren't confused when there are multiple conversations going on
[03:30] <mathfreak> theadmin: Sure thing. Sorry about that.
[03:30] <theadmin> mathfreak: No problem, guess you're new to IRC ;)
[03:30] <b3un0> q
[03:32] <theadmin> b3un0: Yes?
[03:36] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, no thoughts on the screen tearing out of sync issues?
[03:37] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Not a clue, really. :S

[03:38] <theadmin> D4rkH4nd: Surely, what is the end goal?
[03:39] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: I'm going to read up a bit on your issue. Never experienced this before
[03:39] <D4rkH4nd> I need to delet a certin program from my javaws -viewer before i can launch it. Its a recent bug wit the game. then run it from file on my desktop
[03:39] <yepwatermelon> back with a second question
[03:40] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, thanks man, i tried searching myself, got lost on the way
[03:41] <theadmin> D4rkH4nd: Okay, well... something along these lines: http://ideone.com/fbKSn
[03:42] <vulcanmum> oh btw, anyone know of any cool irc chatrooms? I only know of three and two of those are like sister sites or whatever
[03:42] <theadmin> !alis > vulcanmum
[03:43] <D4rkH4nd> theadmin: ya, promblem is i cant find the direct path to the file i use javaws -viewer to get to gui then erase lol
[03:43] <WeThePeople> how do i close down all processes autokey?
[03:44] <WeThePeople> program autokey
[03:44] <theadmin> WeThePeople: killall autokey
[03:44] <theadmin> D4rkH4nd: Ok... I have no idea what javaws -viewer even is

[03:47] <number1235> Greetings, I'm looking for anybody who has had some luck with controlling fans on the Inspiron 1525 or similar, or related info. I'm interested in running cooler than i8kctl seems to allow, maybe with manual control.
[03:48] <number1235> With i8kmon the fans do kick in, but hotter than I'd like. If there were a way to manual bump up the speed manually, or with a script that would be "cool"
[03:49] <bobbiejoe> FUCK YOU ALL
[03:49] <bobbiejoe> wrong chat room

[03:52] <bfortified> anyone anygood with NFS shares?
[03:52] <linuxuz3r> mad
[03:52] <RamchandraApte> I know somewhat.
[03:52] <RamchandraApte> bfortified: I think Google Drive is easier.
[03:52] <DaemonicApathy> bfortified: If you ask the question, an answer may come forth.
[03:52] <RamchandraApte> bfortified: for simple things
[03:52] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: When you described the tearing, did it look like this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tearing_%28simulated%29.jpg
[03:52] <number1235> Okay so restating my question, anybody aware of a way to manually control Inspiron fans? The config file for i8kmon seems to be overidden somehow, and the computer gets hotter than I'd like.
[03:53] <bfortified> Well when I mount an NFS share the directory and sub-directories show up but no the files. Is this a permissions issue?
[03:53] <RamchandraApte> mathfreak: I have tearing like that :|
[03:54] <number1235> I have Xubuntu on my MacBook 5,1 and can manual control the fan speed by altering the minimum speed file through a script. Is there a similar file that allows me to do the same on a Dell laptop?
[03:55] <number1235> & I keep typing manual instead of manually no big deal
[03:55] <DaemonicApathy> number1235: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GKrellM has been used for that with some Inspiron models.
[03:55] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, nope, interestingly i am in the process of creating an image to show you
[03:56] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Cool. I'll wait on that image then.
[03:56] <number1235> checking it out, thank you DaemonicApathy
[03:56] <DaemonicApathy> number1235: No problem, let me know how it works out.
[03:56] <bizhanMona> Hello, I am trying to debug an issue using debug version of the Ubuntu kernel. My questions, what package I need to download for ubuntu kernel source for 12.04? and how to recompile it? Thx

[03:58] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Ok yeah. I have no idea how that happens.
[03:58] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, imagine that it is rolling really fast, like how older tv's would do
[03:58] <RamchandraApte> mathfreak: I googled for it but was unable to find a solution (I reinstalled and then the problems became lesser)
[03:58] <RealOpty_> hello :)
[03:59] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Does the monitor do this on other systems?
[03:59] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, not at all
[03:59] <RamchandraApte> mathfreak : graphics card info: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[04:00] <iFlip> I currently have two 3TB drives on RAID I - This configuration is no longer needed and to maximize space the amount of space I am currently backing up all my movies, TV shows, and music to redo the RAID configuration to RAID 0. This way I will have 6TB to expand my media collection. My question is this. How do I redo a RAID configuration without reinstalling Ubuntu and using the RAID configuration wizard
[04:00] <iFlip>  during the intro of the install. Also, once the configuration is established, how do I set the new RAID to mount and be in the fstab config file.
[04:00] <RealOpty_> Ive installed my custom kernel. I want to use the latest kernel in the repo. It was already installed, but grub didnt update so :\ any suggestions?
[04:01] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: have you tried changing the refresh rate?
[04:01] <iFlip> I'm running Ubuntu LUCID LAMP
[04:01] <DaemonicApathy> RealOpty_: You can manually update grub.
[04:01] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, no, but i have confirmed it to be the same rate i use in windows, its at the monitors recommended settings
[04:02] <RealOpty_> DaemonicApathy: I know but i think im missing something. ill run grub-update
[04:03] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Hmm... what sort of video card do you use?
[04:03] <theadmin> RealOpty_: It's update-grub
[04:03] <XiaolinDraconis> none
[04:04] <RealOpty_> theadmin: update-grub2 :)
[04:04] <RealOpty_> ok so grub didnt detect the newer kernel
[04:04] <RealOpty_> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.28-realopty
[04:05] <theadmin> RealOpty_: l@R525 ~ % diff -s $(which update-grub) $(which update-grub2) # Files /usr/sbin/update-grub and /usr/sbin/update-grub2 are identical
[04:05] <theadmin> :P
[04:05] <RealOpty_> :)
[04:09] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Yeah, I got nothing for you. This seems similar if you haven't looked at it already, though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1820571
[04:09] <RealOpty_> actually i guess im just confused
[04:09] <RealOpty_> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.28-realopty
[04:09] <RealOpty_> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic
[04:10] <RealOpty_> is 3.2.0-32 newer than 3.2.28?
[04:10] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, thats pretty much identical to what my screen does
[04:10] <theadmin> RealOpty_: Nope, it's not
[04:11] <theadmin> RealOpty_: major.minor.build-pkgver are the components when versions are compared, they are compared in order so 3.2.28-* is greater than 3.2.0-*
[04:12] <RealOpty_> theadmin: i understand that. maybe when i made this kernel i fuged up somehow lol
[04:13] <yepwatermelon> Hello everyone I have a question. I keep trying to change the appearance of grub via the grub-customizer tool. I've rebooted twice now and both times, despite having changed the colors, grub still appears as the default purple and grey scheme. All the other changes I've applied work correctly. Anyone know the reason behind this
[04:13] <theadmin> RealOpty_: Your kernel doesn't seem to have a... er... kernel. Only the initrd seems to be present which is just weird
[04:13] <RealOpty_> theadmin: Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.28-realopty
[04:13] <RealOpty_> Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.28-realopty
[04:14] <RealOpty_> its all there :)
[04:14] <theadmin> RealOpty_: Oh okay then
[04:14] <RealOpty_> just didnt wanna spam the channel
[04:14] <theadmin> RealOpty_: Well then you're set it would seem
[04:15] <loki_> anyone out there?
[04:15] <RealOpty_> I guess. Im using a custom kernel cause ACPI didnt detect my battery, i found a fix, and slap it together
[04:15] <yepwatermelon> anyone? D:
[04:15] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Hmm... you might want to follow that thread then.
[04:15] <RealOpty_> then i found out there was an update for the bios.

[04:16] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i just finished reading about the nomodeset option
[04:16] <RealOpty_> theadmin: i guess i expected the kernel i built to be based on the kernel i that was default at the time :\\
[04:16] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Ah okay. Let me know that that works. I need to step out for a moment.
[04:17] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, what are these 2 options, pixel clock and phase? they are options on my monitor
[04:17] <kuhwallskee> by default, what does ubuntu have in /usr/local/bin or does it only install binaries into /usr/bin?
[04:17] <theadmin> RealOpty_: ...huh? That's not how it works, your kernel is only based on the options you define in menuconfig
[04:17] <theadmin> kuhwallskee: /usr/local/bin is meant for users to place their own stuff in -- it's empty and no official packages install into it.
[04:18] <bizhanMona> HI could someone help me to find out how to compile ubuntu kernel please? thx
[04:18] <juniour> how can i she the source code of command

[04:18] <juniour> how can i see the source code of command like grep ,vi etc
[04:19] <theadmin> kuhwallskee: Say thanks you're not on FreeBSD :P
[04:19] <theadmin> juniour: apt-get source package will get you the source code for the entire package.
[04:19] <kuhwallskee> theadmin, i came from bsd -- i was worried.
[04:19] <theadmin> kuhwallskee: :)
[04:19] <number1235> DaemonicApathy: hmm all the resources on gkrellm say it ought to have an i8k plugin for this purpose but I see no plugins listed. Do you have any experience with gkrellm plugins?

[04:30] <cfhowlett> RamchandraApte: sure.  How much will you pay?

[04:33] <ruesy> scp command username@host:/path
[04:34] <iFlip> is the user@host the information on the linux box or the mac?
[04:34] <rypervenche> Linux

[04:36] <crizis> tmba, irrelevant
[04:36] <Ex0deus> are the new nvidia drives really that bad?
[04:36] <bkc_> iFlip: local is the current machine that you execute the command from... so if you're current terminal is the ssh-session, your linux computer is local, and from the mac terminal local would be the mac computer. and vise verca for remote :)
[04:36] <Ex0deus> i'm not having any performance problems with 12.04
[04:36] <majnoon> when next version out (ballpark)
[04:36] <tmba> crizis: oh..  can the refresh rate be adjusted?
[04:36] <crizis> yes
[04:36] <crizis> bang it to the max and remove vsync
[04:36] <Ex0deus> none what so ever... i'm running 3.2.xx kernel... ati
[04:36] <dante_> hello?
[04:36] <crizis> ^ read the link
[04:36] <cfhowlett> majnoon: this month.  patience
[04:37] <cfhowlett> dante_: greetings
[04:37] <RamchandraApte> I don't know why people even buy NVIDIA cards - my integrated runs Doom 3 decently
[04:37] <majnoon> :P
[04:37] <tmba> crizis: kk
[04:37] <dante_> ugh so I'm not muted...
[04:37] <Ex0deus> i think i'm actually gained some performance over 11.10... the 3.2.xx kernel is fast
[04:37] <dante_> I keep asking questions in a support channel and getting ignored then ;^;
[04:37] <RamchandraApte> I solved my problem :-)
[04:38] <majnoon> DID get the net book working using usb pendrive as a regular HD
[04:38] <Ex0deus> dante_: what do you need help with sir?
[04:38] <tmba> crizis: oh yeah that helped alot actually
[04:38] <tmba> crizis: thx!
[04:38] <uw> did ubuntu drop synaptic or something?
[04:38] <juniour> in a lan iam connected to my windows machine can i send message to win machine via terminal
[04:38] <majnoon> used vmware player and told cd it was a regular hd :)
[04:39] <uw> wow i had to install it.  fail ubuntu
[04:39] <iFlip> bkc_ scp /home/stonewall-user/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini iMac@10.10.10.101:/Users/iMac/Desktop ::: Does that look right? cause I got a connection timeout
[04:39] <juniour> in a lan iam connected to my windows machine can i send message to win machine via terminal
[04:39] <uw> 2 god damn GB install and it doesnt have synaptic
[04:40] <cfhowlett> uw: use software center
[04:40] <dante_> I installed Ubuntu and I've been having a multitude of problems I'm trying to sort out one by one. Currently I have two major ones. First off I can't seem to change the grub colors via grub customizer. I set a different background image and font color but I still get the same default ubuntu colors, everything else (font, kernel options, etc.) works so I know its at least updating correctly. The second is when I launch Ubuntu from Gru
[04:40] <dante_> b I get a solid purple screen and it doesn't boot unless I mash my keyboard. Any ideas why?
[04:40] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Pixel clock looks like the number of pixels that can be drawn to the screen in 1 second.
[04:40] <dante_> Sorry that was long...
[04:40] <bkc_> iFlip: looks about right... thou you could do scp ~/user/path/file iMac@10.10.10.101:~/Desktop
[04:40] <iFlip> I will try that
[04:41] <tmba> is there any way of getting flash to use GPU more in ubuntu?   It takes like 80% cpu in top when I run HD stream/video in fullscreen  :(
[04:41] <bkc_> iFlip: CTO is probably because of a bad connection :)
[04:41] <Ex0deus> let the purple screen go for awhile
[04:41] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i set used the auto detect feature, it was at 50 and stayed, also the phase was at 6 and went to 76
[04:41] <Ex0deus> your sure its not booting... and the purple screen is just a mask screen covering up all the terminal output
[04:42] <dante_> The purple screen is there even if I disable quiet and splash.
[04:42] <Ex0deus> when your at that purple screen... try pressing ctrl+alt+f5
[04:42] <Ex0deus> er is it f7 i forget but one of those are the screen where the boot output is put
[04:42] <iFlip> bkc_ i find it strange it doesn't require a password to copy the file to my iMac after putting the user@host... shouldn't it to gain the permission to copy the file?
[04:42] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: any changes to the screen?
[04:43] <Ex0deus> as for changing hte colors in grub... manually edit your grub.conf
[04:43] <uw> tmba, uhh, wut?
[04:43] <uw> use the gpu more?
[04:43] <tmba> uw: hardware acceleration..
[04:43] <iFlip> It says it cannot connect to my iMac
[04:43] <bkc_> iFlip: it should if you havn't setup public keys :/
[04:43] <crizis> iFlip, you just likely copied the file locally to file named user@hsot.. :
[04:43] <iFlip> on port 22
[04:43] <XiaolinDraconis> none that i can tell, ill be testing in a moment, to see if the issue is still there
[04:43] <crizis> iFlip, you have to also use sftp:// protocol
[04:44] <crizis> iFlip, like scp myfile sftp://user@host/path
[04:44] <bkc_> iFlip: do you have ssh on your mac? :/
[04:44] <uw> are the videos you watching using a codec that your GPU can run in hardware?
[04:44] <iFlip> yes
[04:44] <DaemonicApathy> iFlip: did you forward port 22 to your mac from the router?
[04:44] <iFlip> I am local
[04:44] <iFlip> no need to port forward
[04:44] <uw> say h.262 263 264
[04:45] <DaemonicApathy> Fair enough, but I had that issue at one point.
[04:45] <bkc_> iFlip: open up another terminal on the Mac and run `scp user@ubuntuhost:~/path/file ~/Desktop` instead :)
[04:45] <iFlip> bkc_ good idea... I will try
[04:45] <dante_> also what font does grub 2 use by default?
[04:45] <dante_> if anyone knows?
[04:46] <vientosolar> #ubuntu-co
[04:48] <vientosolar> someone here?
[04:48] <vientosolar> I need help to solve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284378/
[04:49] <tmba> yes

[04:53] <Dacs> LTS where when i boot my laptop i see bios screen, the xbuntu screen and a quick flash of NIVIDIA and then a blackscreen
[04:53] <Dacs> hello; i am looking for someone to help me troublshoot an issue with my
[04:53] <Dacs> LTS where when i boot my laptop i see bios screen, the xbuntu screen and a quick flash of NIVIDIA and then a blackscreen
[04:57] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, nothing changed still freaked out
[04:57] <Dacs> anyone here willing to give me support with my issue :)
[04:58] <pitviper296> hello guys and girls , I wonder if anyone could help me with my graphics driver in ubuntu 12.04 lts
[04:58] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Well, I'm all out of ideas. :S
[04:59] <Daughain> Would if I could, Dacs
[04:59] <tmba> Dacs: have you tried other drivers in X besides nvidia?
[05:00] <tmba> Dacs: I'm not in ubuntu support btw, just looking for help like you..
[05:00] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, im trying to figure out how to set nomodeset option
[05:01] <Dacs> tmba: it was working fine , untill i remember the last thing i did was removing apache2
[05:01] <yigal> hello all
[05:01] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis:  Does the bootloader come up when you restart the computer?
[05:01] <pitviper296> can anyone help me figure out how to switch from vesa graphics driver to Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS driver 12.04 lts
[05:01] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, u mean grub? yes
[05:02] <tmba> Dacs: humm as far as I know apache2 should have no impact on X or video drivers. Perhaps remove the nvidia packages to test if X is still black. If that fixed it, you could try to reinstall nvidia again. It may be a config issue.
[05:02] <yigal> pitviper296: u can always go with https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver
[05:03] <yigal> or at least try it
[05:03] <ner0x> Anyone using xfce know how to set an absolute path to my "Desktop" folder?
[05:03] <yigal> ner0x: #xubuntu
[05:04] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: What's up with nomodeset right now? Are you unable to change the options at grub's screen?
[05:04] <pitviper296> yigal: ok I will give them a look.  Trying to get compiz-fusion up and running and compiz-check says I'm running vesa driver and it keeps failing my system
[05:04] <ner0x> yigal: I have asked there as well.
[05:04] <yigal> pitviper296: I understand, your graphics card can certainly handle it
[05:05] <yigal> ner0x: just to be clear you are attempting to make changes the Thunar?
[05:05] <pitviper296> yigal: will I have to build a repo?
[05:05] <yigal> pitviper296: no
[05:05] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak,  i wouldnt know how to do it from the grub menu, im using a tool called grub customizer to make the change
[05:05] <yigal> pitviper296: that will not be necessary
[05:05] <ner0x> yigal: Not exactly. I just want to change where they assume the "Desktop" folder is.
[05:05] <ner0x> IE I have it at /media/backup/Desktop, I'd like to point to that but it won't let me.
[05:06] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: oh ok. Does pressing 'e' not work when the menu comes up?
[05:06] <yigal> ner0x: you mean for all file management?
[05:07] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i assume it does, ive never done it before
[05:07] <yigal> ner0x: /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs  XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop
[05:07] <ner0x> yigal: Ah, that should work. I'll dig a little deeper. Thank you sir.
[05:08] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i added it here, hoping thats right, http://i.imgur.com/rRe6n.png
[05:08] <yigal> ner0x: cool, let me know if you need any more help with it
[05:08] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Looks good as ever.
[05:09] <ner0x> yigal: Actually, that's exactly what I was looking for.
[05:10] <Dacs> any help folks
[05:10] <ner0x> yigal: I assume I restart lightdm to make the changes take effect.
[05:11] <pitviper296> yigal: if I install the wrong one could it crash my system. best i can figure,  xserver-xorg-video-intel   	2:2.20.9~really~2.20.10~precise~ppa2  is the one I need
[05:11] <dante_> Okay so I fixed the first problem I was having. Now I keep trying to edit the grub.cfg file directly and it still doesn't change the colors. I'm running grub-update and it appears to be changing the fonts just fine but the colors won't change.
[05:12] <dante_> anyone know why?
[05:12] <thechaser> Does anyone know why my sound stop working? Nothing is muted and i still dont have sound...
[05:12] <Jordan_U> dante_: Please pastebin your /etc/default/grub .
[05:13] <nischay> clear
[05:13] <Dacs> guys
[05:13] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, that had incredibly unexpected results... it affected my session
[05:13] <nischay> HI :)
[05:13] <yigal> pitviper296: yes
[05:13] <MTecknology> I have a server that has no IPv4 address and a lot of repositories that I want to use are IPv4-only. Any ideas how I could still manage to add IPv4-only repositories?
[05:13] <Dacs> is there a key i can push while my laptop is loading so that i can access some sort of recovery?
[05:14] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i use a user defined session, and unity is not part of that, all of a sudden it is
[05:14] <mathfreak> huh....
[05:14] <dante_> Jordan_U: pastebin.com/f8MR2Rnn
[05:14] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, also it seems compositing is disabled
[05:14] <pitviper296> yigal:  well it's a dual boot sys, not that big a deal. be a fun adventure lol. Thanks for you help. I'll see what happens
[05:14] <Dacs> like winodws you push f8 what is it in ubuntu?
[05:15] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: brb, gonna read a bit more on this
[05:15] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, although the problem is fixed
[05:15] <yigal> pitviper296: you will need to know how to alter  /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X11 if the installation of the driver fails
[05:15] <yigal> pitviper296: at least you may need to, that's the worst likely it will work
[05:16] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, i think my system has been detected as a laptop now
[05:16] <Jordan_U> dante_: What do you see at boot, and what do you expect to see?
[05:16] <pitviper296> yigal: ok thanks, I'm pretty sure it will , but never can tell. If it does we should know in a few
[05:17] <yigal> pitviper296: let us know if you need any help
[05:17] <dante_> I see the default ubuntu colors (purple and grey) instead of the scheme I have set out (the background image is solid black, font colors are white)
[05:17] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Hmm.... Out of ideas now.
[05:17] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, yeah i think ill go back to not being able to change resolutions
[05:18] <XiaolinDraconis> this is crazy
[05:18] <mathfreak> XiaolinDraconis: Sorry I couldn't help you out much. I honestly don't know what's happening.
[05:18] <XiaolinDraconis> mathfreak, no problem thanks for trying, at least im farther than i was
[05:19] <XiaolinDraconis> nomodeset made ubuntu think im on a laptop, that is weird \
[05:19] <Dacs> hello any one?
[05:19] <mathfreak> Dacs: Hey, what's up?
[05:19] <info> i want to check whether a directory is in use by any other application
[05:19] <dante_> Its because its controled by 05_debian_theme under grub.d... -.-
[05:19] <info> how can i do it?
[05:19] <dante_> I think...
[05:19] <dante_> it would appear so
[05:20] <tmba> info: fuser
[05:20] <tmba> info: or lsof
[05:20] <dante_> jodran_U: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme does that have any control over it? It would appear so but I'm not sure...
[05:20] <info> can i write that in a script??
[05:20] <info> tmba
[05:20] <Dacs> mathfreak: my laptop is not booting up to X server
[05:21] <tmba> info: probably
[05:21] <Dacs> mathfreak: it was working fine last night at ~pm before i went to bed. last thing i was doing was following a thread in a form trying to remove apache2
[05:22] <tmba> info: check the output from those commands
[05:22] <info> i want to check that a directory is free for other application to use
[05:22] <yigal> info: go for it
[05:22] <lewellyn> so, i figure i'm not the first to ask, but i don't know the answer... did zdnet jump the gun, misreport, or something about 12.10 already being released?
[05:22] <yigal> info: what do you mean?
[05:22] <Dacs> mathfreak: by the way i am using the same laptop, just using tty
[05:23] <Dacs> mathfreak:that is how i am able to chat here
[05:23] <Dacs> !logs
[05:23] <tmba> info: yes use lsof and fuser. Notice I used AND. Sometimes one might not report while the other does.
[05:23] <info> ok
[05:23] <info> thanks
[05:25] <yigal> oh lsof you are a great tool
[05:25] <mathfreak> Dacs: I have no clue. sorry. :S
[05:25] <lewellyn> Dacs: if that was for me, i didn't find the answer in the logs. but this channel is very... high on flow. :)
[05:28] <Dacs> mathfreak:you know how i can access safe mode
[05:29] <mathfreak> Dacs: try rebooting. Choose the recovery mode option from grub
[05:29] <pitviper296> yigal: I see the ppa I need but I'm confused as how to install it?
[05:30] <yigal> pitviper296: have you seen https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware ?
[05:31] <Dacs> mathfreak: it doesn't ask me for that, it normally just logme to ~
[05:31] <pitviper296> yigal: yes I added ppa:glasen/intel-driver to my system but kinda stumped now
[05:31] <Dacs> mathfreak: i don't have grub
[05:32] <yigal> pitviper296: just make sure that the repos are updated locally "apt-get update"
[05:32] <mathfreak> Dacs: oh huh... What do you use?
[05:32] <yigal> pitviper296: at that point you should be able to install the necessary files
[05:32] <Daughain> Out of curiosity, can anyone tell me why update manager might stall out?
[05:32] <Dacs> mathfreak: what i donloaded from ubuntu site
[05:32] <yigal> Daughain: a repository might be having issues
[05:33] <yigal> Daughain: what is the current output?
[05:33] <Dacs> is there a key i need to press when i boot
[05:33] <yigal> Daughain: where is it stalling?
[05:33] <mathfreak> Dacs: normally, you hold down shift to bring up a menu for grub
[05:33] <Daughain> yigal: "setting up linux-image-generic (2.6.35.32.42)
[05:33] <pitviper296> yigal:  This is what I did -" sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver"  " sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver "
[05:34] <yigal> Daughain: interesting it is stalling on installing a new kernel
[05:34] <yigal> pitviper296: ok now issue, "sudo apt-get update"
[05:34] <Daughain> yigal: Just did a fresh install of 10.10 and trying to update before upgrading to 11.04.

[05:35] <pitviper296> yigal: ok done - now what?
[05:35] <mirsi> moro
[05:35] <yigal> pitviper296: now you should be able to install the desired package
[05:35] <mirsi> hi
[05:35] <yigal> pitviper296: do you know the name of it?
[05:35] <joserauhalammi> bObO
[05:36] <Daughain> yigal: This also makes the third time it has stalled out like this on the new kernel today.
[05:36] <pitviper296> yigal:  xserver-xorg-video-intel 	2:2.20.9~really~2.20.10~precise~ppa2   tried  sudo apt-get
[05:36] <Jordan_U> joserauhalammi: Please don't do that again.
[05:36] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, You can change mirrors in software sources, that might help.
[05:37] <yigal> Daughain: I would strongly consider installing this via the command line
[05:37] <yigal> Daughain: to get a better idea of what exactly is going on
[05:37] <XiaolinDraconis> i followed some instructions and im curious if its going to work
[05:37] <XiaolinDraconis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/77191/how-can-i-use-lightdm-for-user-defined-sessions
[05:37] <rxw> hey guys I got a networking question
[05:37] <XiaolinDraconis> now i just need an xinitrc file right?
[05:37] <yigal> pitviper296: ok so now install it "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel"
[05:38] <rxw> I'm on a laptop w/ a internal wireless card, but my ocnnection is pretty poor
[05:38] <yigal> and follow the instructions provided for xorg.conf at https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver
[05:38] <rxw> so I dug up a usb wireless adapter
[05:38] <rxw> and I got that installed
[05:38] <Daughain> yigal: kinda noticing that, the question is, what, if anything, I can do other than starting the install from scratch once more?
[05:38] <rxw> and now I have the option to be connected to different wireless networks for each card
[05:38] <rxw> is there any benefit to that really
[05:39] <rxw> will my laptop somehow utilize both ocnnections
[05:39] <rxw> to get a better download speed
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> rxw, Please don't just post, form a question of your problem and wait for help. ;)
[05:39] <yigal> Daughain: what does the info. tell you currently what is the exact line it is stalling on currently?
[05:39] <Calinou> rxw: go nearer to the access point
[05:39] <rxw> @wilee-nilee ok will do
[05:39] <pitviper296> yigal: haha ha , typo lol it's installing it now - was about to slap my self it's been a long time since I jumped into linux but I knew for sure how to apt-get
[05:40] <rxw> "If I have 2 wireless cards each connected to different networks on the same laptop, does this somehow improve my internet speed"
[05:40] <Daughain> yigal: once again, "Setting up linux-image-generic . (2.6.3.32.42)"
[05:40] <Calinou> note that apt-get is a command about package management, not linux itself
[05:40] <Calinou> linux is only the kernel
[05:40] <pitviper296> yigal: now that it is installed , how do i get my system to use it instead of vesa? reboot?
[05:41] <afteriiiii> mo
[05:41] <Daughain> yigal: and the sysmon is showing no activity on the proccy.
[05:41] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> how much space is needed to do apt-get update because i keep getting unable to FORK
[05:41] <yigal> pitviper296: have you changed the xorg.conf to use intel?
[05:41] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> apt-get upgrade
[05:41] <yigal> Daughain: have you run a top on the cli?
[05:42] <Jordan_U> rxw: No.
[05:42] <yigal> Daughain: is the cpu being utilized for something else ?
[05:42] <voldial> Is there a solution to stopping consolekit from logging to it's history file? I found the discussion... http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/251560 and even set the file to immutable but consolekit still appended to the immutable file. hmph.
[05:42] <Daughain> Nope, to top, and nothing running at all.
[05:42] <pitviper296> yigal:  nope , gedit it and just replace vesa with "intel'?
[05:43] <yigal> Daughain: this is likely not true, please as run "sudo ps aufx" are there any processes running?
[05:43] <Calinou> pitviper296: you should use gksudo gedit, not sudo gedit
[05:43] <rxw> Jordan_U: thanks
[05:43] <Jordan_U> rxw: You're welcome.
[05:44] <yigal> pitviper296: just make sure to have as they have in on the PPA http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284432/
[05:44] <pitviper296> yigal: ok ty
[05:44] <yigal> pitviper296 and Daughain good luck gentlmen I hope I was of some use to you.  It's time to retire
[05:44] <pitviper296> Calinou: ok ty
[05:44] <Calinou> or sudo nano, if you want command line editing
[05:45] <Calinou> (I think I started editor war already.)

[05:45] <Jordan_U> Josh: And yes, apt-cache search for searching for packages.
[05:45] <Josh> Jordan_U, Aptitude was kinda front end right.
[05:46] <Josh> Well, but why aptitude was removed?
[05:46] <Jordan_U> Josh: Aptitude and apt-get are both front ends to dpkg. aptitude was removed for space reasons IIRC, and it also doesn't handle multiarch properly.
[05:47] <Jordan_U> Josh: You can install aptitude yourself if you want to, though keep in mind the above mentioned problems with multiarch.
[05:47] <Josh> I see.
[05:47] <Josh> I know
[05:47] <Josh> I don't know what mutiarch is :[
[05:47] <Daughain> Anyone else have any ideas?
[05:48] <elixey> how do i encrypt the ubuntu AFTER installation
[05:48] <lotuspsychje> !encryption | elixey
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> Daughain: re-ask your question once in a while
[05:50] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I'm familiar with the protocol. :-)
[05:50] <Jordan_U> Josh: Proper handling of installing 32 bit packages on an otherwise 64 bit installation basically. Also, the multi-arch problems may have been resolved, I haven't been keeping up with those changes.
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:just joined so didnt see your question :p
[05:50] <Josh> Jordan_U, ah, then I must be careful, I have 64 bit installed
[05:50] <BlueEagle> Daughain: How are you performing the upgrade? GUI or CLI?
[05:51] <Daughain> BlueEagle: I just ran Update Manager.
[05:52] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I'm on my tablet, so kinda limited.
[05:53] <pitviper296> Calinou: there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for 12.04 lts ubuntu?
[05:54] <BlueEagle> Daughain: It could be that a CLI installation could provide more information
[05:54] <BlueEagle> s/installation/upgrade/
[05:54] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I did a fresh install of 10.10, and during the update before an 11.04 upgrade, the update manager stalled out.
[05:55] <Daughain> BlueEagle: right now, I am trying to *not* have to install again for the fourth time today. :-) any ideas?
[05:55] <BlueEagle> ... then again it could be that installing 11.04 instead of upgrading from 10.10 would take less time. Although I do not see why you would not want to install 12.04.
[05:56] <devjustforfun> people who use netbeans with ubuntu
[05:56] <Daughain> BlueEagle: Well, this is an 8 yr old Dell, and 12.04 does strange things to the proccy.
[05:57] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, Are you using a end of life upgrade from 10.10, as it is end of life.
[05:57] <BlueEagle> devjustforfun: ... have got a bigger chance of having pizza for dinner.
[05:57] <cfhowlett> Daughain: what he said.  Unless you have some overwhelming need for bleeding edge shiny stuff and don't mind struggling with updates 2 times a year, just adopt an LTS only policy.
[05:57] <devjustforfun> BlueEagle ))
[05:57] <devjustforfun> BlueEagle i'm very tired wait
[05:58] <BlueEagle> devjustforfun: Did you have a question or were you just playing "complete this sentence"? If the former, please ask it, if the latter please see !ot
[05:58] <Daughain> wilee-nilee: I'm just trying to install the 10.10 updates.
[05:58] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, It is end of life, and 11.04 is days away from its end of life, install 12.04.
[05:59] <wilee-nilee> !eol > Daughain
[05:59] <Daughain> wilee-nilee: 12.04 ran the proccy at 96% doing nothing.
[05:59] <devjustforfun> BlueEagle do you know why my background scanning of project stack on 100%. and all thinks slow
[06:00] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, It was doing something, and that is easy to find. Have you posted your computer specs?
[06:00] <pitviper296> can anyone tell me how to change vesa video drive to intel in ubuntu 12.04?
[06:00] <BlueEagle> devjustforfun: I do not, but now that you have actually asked the question perhaps someone does know.
[06:00] <Daughain> wilee-nilee: btw, I have a tablet, and this antique Dell. Since I'm on the tablet, I can't get Jo's.
[06:00] <Daughain> Pm's
[06:00] <subdesign> antique :D
[06:02] <Daughain> wilee-nilee:  only spec I know, is it is a 1.5ghz centrino.
[06:02] <BlueEagle> !xorgconf | pitviper296
[06:02] <BlueEagle> pitviper296: You may need to specify the driver if the autodetect does not work.
[06:03] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, in the terminal run free memory what is the ram the number next to memory under total.
[06:03] <yepwatermelon> So I'm back again... :/ look I don't know what's wrong by this point is there any way to completely purge grub from my mbr and then reinstall it?
[06:03] <Daughain> Been watching top, sys mem been running about 80+%
[06:03] <wilee-nilee> yepwatermelon, Are you in the OS or it wont boot?
[06:04] <yepwatermelon> I'm in the OS
[06:04] <wilee-nilee> yepwatermelon, YOur running what release?
[06:04] <yepwatermelon> 12.10
[06:04] <pitviper296> BlueEagle:  driver is not displayed in system settings , compiz-check say I'm running vesa driver, just installed xserver-xorg-video-intel, how to use it though?
[06:04] <Calinou> yepwatermelon: #ubuntu+1
[06:04] <wilee-nilee> yepwatermelon, Go to #ubuntu+1 I will give you the commands there.
[06:04] <BlueEagle> pitviper296: Did you read the links ubottu posted?
[06:05] <pitviper296> BlueEagle: sorry no, just saw it
[06:06] <gartral> i'm back, damint that was a LONG walk
[06:06] <gartral> ooops
[06:06] <Daughain> wilee-nilee: how do I kill update manager?
[06:07] <wilee-nilee> Daughain, Is it running?
[06:07] <BlueEagle> alt+f2 -> "xkill" -> click on window
[06:07] <Daughain> No, it stalled. Thanks, BlueEagle
[06:08] <info> how do i pass argument to shell script from Terminal
[06:08] <info> 	foo(){ fuser -v $1} foo (/home)
[06:08] <info> 	i want to pass that /home from terminal
[06:08] <blargg> I don't get the %us %id etc. lines in top. In this example, they seem to show the CPUs almost all idle, yet the process display shows two things using 3 and 5% of CPU: http://pastie.org/5071606
[06:08] <BlueEagle> info: You want to use a variable in a bash script?
[06:09] <info> yes
[06:09] <pitviper296> BlueEagle: So i can just create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and enter in tese values? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284432/
[06:09] <info> BlueEagle
[06:10] <BlueEagle> pitviper296: You can just create an xorg.conf file and provide values for sections and those sections will not be auto detected. I have not reviewed your sample file because I forgot all about how xorg.conf works. :P
[06:11] <BlueEagle> info: So you want to call `script.sh someparameter` or do you want to call script.sh and have it read the environment and determine the current users home directory, or do you really want to use ~ as it is the home directory?
[06:11] <pitviper296> BlueEagle:  ok I'm really confused at the moment and I'm really tired. thanks for the help
[06:12] <pitviper296> ubottu: So i can just create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and enter in tese values? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1284432/
[06:13] <info> i want to pass the directory as a parameter and want to call script.sh with that parameter
[06:13] <info> @ BlueEagle
[06:13] <BlueEagle> info: Please prefix the reply with the nick and a colon so it highlights.
[06:14] <info> BlueEagele:Sorry for that
[06:14] <Daughain> Ok, that killed it, but now I can't use apt, synaptic, or the update manager?
[06:14] <BlueEagle> Daughain: That can happen.
[06:15] <Daughain> BlueEagle: any way to fix it short of a reboot?
[06:15] <BlueEagle> Daughain: Well it does depend on the error you receive. I am good, but I'm not psychic.
[06:15] <BlueEagle> Daughain: And anyways you would want to reboot to install 12.04 anyways.
[06:16] <info> BlueEagle: How do i pass an argument to a function which is in script.sh ??
[06:16] <Daughain> BlueEagle: I do *not* want to install 12.04. I had 12.04, and it sucked.
[06:17] <Daughain> BlueEagle: apt gives me "resource temporarily unavailable"
[06:17] <BlueEagle> Daughain: !language, and yes, the default 12.04 environment isn't the best. However it is still better to reconfigure the environment than to attempt to make an obsolete distro, that no longer receives security updates, work.
[06:18] <BlueEagle> info: The question you want to ask is "How do I pass an argument to a bash script" and Google will happily answer that for you just as good as I can.
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> Daughain: presice is very fast and stable
[06:18] <BlueEagle> info: from the first link: Arguments are accessed inside a script using the variables $1, $2, $3, etc., where $1 refers to the first argument, $2 to the second argument, and so on.
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:its very recommended to install it clean
[06:19] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: precise cycled my proccy a ~80% load.
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> Daughian:gotta be another reason mate for it, what was default Os on the machine?
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:you can try ##hardware aswell to see if your machine got cpu issues
[06:21] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: once upon a time it was XP. When I got the machine it had ubuntu 2.x.
[06:21] <Daughain> It actually rebooted.
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:default Os was ubuntu?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:plz give us more details mate
[06:22] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: it had ubuntu on it when I got it. Since then I have now installed ubuntu 5 times, no partitions.
[06:22] <wilee-nilee> lotuspsychje, Its 10.10 I believe.
[06:23] <wilee-nilee> wubi?
[06:23] <Daughain> wilee-nilee: it had ubuntu 2.x
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:what machine are we talking about? laptop? desktop? old/new?
[06:24] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: 03 or 04 Dell inspiron 600m laptop.
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:did you run precise fine on it? just had cpu load or did whole system go slow?
[06:25] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: precise ran slow as XP, and had major CPU load.
[06:27] <aeon-ltd> yeah stock ubuntu is almost as heavy as windows
[06:27] <aeon-ltd> running xubuntu or lubuntu will be better. but for maximum speed build up from a server cli install
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:did you upgrade or clean install precise?
[06:27] <Daughain> aeon-ltd: 11.04 ran nice and quick.
[06:28] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: upgrade, I have no way to do a clean install. 1 tablet, 1 dysfunctional laptop. :-)
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:it very recommended to clean install mate, 11.04 can leave unwanted stuff to slow down your machine
[06:29] <onats> !ext4 mac
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> !mac | onats
[06:29] <onats> does anyone know of a tool / utility i can use on osx to read x4?
[06:29] <onats> ext4?
[06:29] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I can't load the updates to 10.10 right now, let alone upgrade anything.
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:can you download preside to an usb stick to install it clean?
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> precise
[06:31] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: we'll see, dpkg cli commands  fail.
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> onats:you mean like ext4 support for external hd read?
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:formatted few old laptops on upgrade, they all had heavy feeling after
[06:32] <onats> lotuspsychje: yes. i have an external HDD slot that I plug in hard drives into. i can't view them on osx
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> onats:this is a mac question really then
[06:33] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: well, my question from the beginning was why update manager stalled out in the middle of doing something. Not what release should I install.
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> onats:we can only support ubuntu in here mate
[06:34] <onats> lotuspsychje: alright. tried in mac channel
[06:34] <onats> but thanks anyway
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:i would do my best to install precise clean
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> onats:google shows allota tools
[06:34] <onats> lotuspsychje: none of which are reliable..
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> Daughain:if precise would be too heavy for grafix card, you can try xubuntu precise too
[06:37] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I can't run unity, I refuse to run gnome3, and have a 40G hd to put it all on. What makes 12.04 worth using? I'm happy with 11.04
[06:37] <arasi> Hi all,I compiling buildroot-2012.08 for am335x evm board bring up,while compiling this i am getting error like "make: *** [/root/buildroot-2012.08/output/build/berkeleydb-5.3.21/.stamp_built] Error 2" how to solve this issue..
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> Daughain: 40 gig hd sounds like older model, i would go for xubuntu 12.04 clean then, to make your system faster
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> anyway bbl
[06:40] <Daughain> lotuspsychje: I did say it was 8-9 years old. And what's so wrong with Mr choosing the os I want for my needs? Isn't that why we use linux anyway?
[06:40] <arasi> Hi all,I compiling buildroot-2012.08 for am335x evm board bring up,while compiling this i am getting error like "make: *** [/root/buildroot-2012.08/output/build/berkeleydb-5.3.21/.stamp_built] Error 2" how to solve this issue..
[06:40] <arasi> ans pls...

[06:52] <yepwatermelon> Anyone know what I'd need to add to /etc/default/grub.cfg to disable the default option of not showing the grub menu on boot?
[06:53] <yepwatermelon> well... /etc/default/grub moreover
[06:59] <yepwatermelon> The documentation for grub2 really is piss poor isn't it?
[07:00] <bazhang> yepwatermelon, no
[07:00] <elky> "poor" would be "no documentation".
[07:00] <BlueEagle> yepwatermelon: I was about to look it up, but that language makes me not want to help you.
[07:01] <rinzler> Anyone know of a way to get keyboard led's into xfce 4.8 panels?
[07:01] <yepwatermelon> I'm sorry I hurt your feelings princess :P
[07:02] <elky> rinzler, you want a led globe in software?

[07:02] <elky> rinzler, could you explain more about what you want?
[07:02] <Casey> Hi there. I'm having issues installing linux mint 13. I realize this forum is for Ubuntu but no one is on the mint forum. If I could pick someone's brain, I would greatly appreciate it.
[07:02] <BlueEagle> rinzler: There is an applet called xfce4-kbdleds-plugin. I am sure you have tried this and found some issue, but without you specifying the issue the best I can do is recommend the applet.
[07:03] <bazhang> Casey, then be patient. its not supported here
[07:03] <bazhang> !mintsupport | Casey
[07:03] <elky> "please help me use a competing product" ahahahha
[07:03] <Casey> bazhang, I don't see the issue. Mint is based of ubuntu and I bet if I tell you my problem, you'd be able to at least point me to the right direction.
[07:03] <Casey> *off
[07:04] <elky> Casey, try ##linux
[07:04] <rasha666> i tried to start Word 2007 from my win partition, but i get an error IOPL not enabled.. any suggestions
[07:04] <Casey> elky thank you
[07:04] <BlueEagle> Casey: You don't need support! You're a zombie and you're just out after our brains!! http://files.myopera.com/SqueakeyCat/blog/zombie_wants_brains_Funny_random_pics-s650x488-39059-580.jpg </ot>
[07:05] <rinzler> elky: I need an xfce4 panel item that can show keyboard stickey key status (caps numlock etc.) in a panel. I tried using the applet that BlueEagle suggested, but haven't found a version that will work with xfce 4.8
[07:05] <Casey> blueeagle how helpful
[07:05] <BlueEagle> Casey: I know. It's funny though. :)
[07:05] <Jordan_U> BlueEagle: Please keep on topic, and try to be helpful when providing help.
[07:06] <martimus> hey all, how might i go about changing my default file manager? im on a pretty standard setup of 12.04. the desktop can even stay nautilus, that doesnt matter.
[07:06] <bazhang> !behelpful > BlueEagle
[07:07] <rinzler> martimus: in settings manager, choose preferred applications
[07:07] <Casey> Alright just give me a shot. Here's the problem. I burned Linux Mint 13...I mean Ubuntu 12.04 to a live dvd and whenever i choose optical drive in the bios. Mint...I mean ubuntu does it's automatic countdown but then will sit at a black screen with a white cursor indefinitely. Any ideas? I have read about nomodeset but have had no luck :(.
[07:07] <rinzler> martimus: there's an option for file manager. Came up on this myself.
[07:07] <rasha666> martimus Just find file manager that you like install it, and when you are about to login choose that instead of Ubuntu
[07:07] <rasha666>  i tried to start Word 2007 from my win partition, but i get an error IOPL not enabled.. any suggestions
[07:07] <Jordan_U> Casey: This channel only supports Ubuntu, that is our policy. Please respect it.
[07:08] <Casey> Did you read my corrections?
[07:08] <rinzler> rasha666: file manager. Not desktop environment.
[07:08] <martimus> rasha666, file manager, not operating system. i just want to switch nautilus to pcmanfm
[07:08] <BlueEagle> Casey: The Ubuntu 12.04 livecd boots just fine here. Which BIOS version do you have?
[07:08] <Casey> Because in all honesty 12.04 did the same thing jordan_U
[07:08] <rasha666> martimus ohh i see my mistake
[07:08] <Casey> BlueEagle, I'm not really sure
[07:08] <Casey> it's a lenovo z585
[07:08] <BlueEagle> Casey: And the initrd, which is probably the root cause of your issue is one of the bigger differences between distros.
[07:08] <Casey> a10 processor
[07:08] <Casey> vision graphics card
[07:09] <Fishface> Casey, you burned the DVD at 4x speed?
[07:09] <Casey> i burned at max
[07:09] <martimus> rinzler, i dont see an option for file manager
[07:09] <Casey> and then at 6x
[07:09] <martimus> i see web, mail, calendar, music, video, photos
[07:09] <rinzler> martimus: hmm... one sec...
[07:09] <Casey> blueeagle what do you mean by initrd?
[07:09] <BlueEagle> Casey: You also ofcourse verified the md5 sum and attempted to pass parameters under "Advanced" not to use bootsplash?
[07:10] <rinzler> martimus: under the utilities tab?
[07:10] <Fishface> Casey, ok. 4 would be best. But have you been to the 'official' IRC sever for Mint?
[07:10] <Jordan_U> Casey: What do you see when you try to boot Ubuntu, from an actual Ubuntu LiveCD?
[07:10] <BlueEagle> Casey: initrd = initial ram disk. It is the what is loaded first when booting.
[07:10] <martimus> wait, maybe im in the wrong app here... settings manager isnt (system) settings, i take it
[07:10] <Casey> blueeagle: let's assume I know nothing, because that will be close to it. All I did was burn the ISO to disc with ISO burn, plop in the dvd to the optical drive and choose it from the BIOS
[07:10] <Casey> fishface, I have, it's a ghosttown
[07:11] <Casey> 1 user
[07:11] <Jordan_U> Casey: Keep support options in mind when deciding what distribution to use.
[07:11] <Fishface> Casey, no. Its irc.spotchat.org. And channel #linuxmint-help
[07:11] <Casey> jordan_u, all I see is the splash screen and then it loads the black screen with white cursor
[07:12] <Casey> fishface, thats what i chose. I still dont see the issue of a little help.
[07:12] <Jordan_U> Casey: There are at least 3 things that could be called splash screens during the boot of an Ubuntu LiveCD. What do you actually see on screen during boot?
[07:12] <Casey> I'm really frustrated and just want to get it to work.
[07:12] <BlueEagle> Casey: That was not all you did. First you downloaded the .iso image, then you got the MD5 sum and an md5sum checker and verified that the downloade wasn't corrupt. Then you burned the image to a dvd and attempted to boot from the dvd. When you tried it you did get the Ubuntu boot menu and pressed start from LiveCD. Then all you were left with was a blinking cursor.
[07:12] <Casey> jordan_u, its a picture that says linux mint. If you enter, you can select different options that are provided under the live cd.
[07:13] <Fishface> Casey, I know my burn of Mint was good at 4x. And it installed (and ran live) well. I like it. That is all I can tell you.
[07:13] <Casey> blueeagle, not sure where your going with that?
[07:13] <Casey> fishface, so in other words, burn it one more time at a lower speed? Did you have issues as well?
[07:13] <Jordan_U> Casey: Please answer my question with reguard to what you see with an actual Ubuntu LiveCD. If your next response is anything else, I will remove you from the channel (since you are in the wrong channel).
[07:13] <BlueEagle> Casey: Just getting the facts on the table. If, at the boot menu you edit the command prompt not to load bootsplash, does that help?
[07:13] <martimus> rinzler, im not seeing an app called settings manager, or any tab called utilities in system settings :/
[07:14] <Fishface> Casey, no issues at all. Well, grub was a mess. But I got around that.
[07:14] <Casey> jordan_u, i already did
[07:14] <Casey> blueeagle, i did remove bootsplash and added nomodeset in all kinds of variations. I aslo tried compatibility mode.
[07:14] <Casey> fishface, I guess that will be my last attempt.
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Casey: Official Ubuntu liveCDs don't boot to a splash screen that says "Linux Mint".
[07:15] <elky> Casey, we can't trust that you aren't just saying it's the same under the absurd pretext that you think it will magically make it something we can help with.
[07:15] <Casey> jordan_u, you solved my problem. Amazing!@
[07:15] <Casey> elky, I have no idea what you are referring to?
[07:15] <BlueEagle> Casey: Then the best advise I can give you is to install from the Ubuntu alternate cd/dvd. That uses a text-based installer.
[07:16] <Casey> is that available on the main download page?
[07:16] <Casey> *blueeagle
[07:16] <BlueEagle> Casey: Just out of curiousity; If you try the live CD from another distro, like Mint (which is not supported here), is that able to boot to X11?
[07:16] <rinzler> martimus: use the search bar to search for "settings manager". In there, you should see an icon that is labeled "Preferred Applications" and you should see an option for file manager under the utilities tab
[07:16] <Casey> BlueEagle, hypothetically I have not treid X11. What does that refer too?
[07:17] <Casey> *tried
[07:17] <BlueEagle> Casey: X11 is what the window manager runs on.
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Casey: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[07:17] <rinzler> someone using Unity: What do you call the search bar in the applications menu thingy?
[07:17] <BlueEagle> Casey: Which is what is not starting.
[07:17] <Casey> thatnk you Jordan_U
[07:17] <Casey> BlueEagle, sorry to be dense but could you elaborate on what I am supposed to do with that knowledge?
[07:17] <martimus> preferred applications only has one tab, "System Applications", and the only entries are web browser and mail client
[07:18] <martimus> rinzler, ^
[07:18] <dante_> where there any major changes between grub 1.99 and 2.00?
[07:18] <dante_> grub2 moreover
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Casey: Now, until you actually have an Ubuntu CD to try (Alternate or otherwise) please stop asking for support in this channel. This is your last warning, do you understand?
[07:19] <bazhang> dante_, no. 1.98 is referred to as grub2 iirc
[07:19] <dante_> no
[07:19] <rinzler> martimus: hmm... that worked for me... Have you all your updates? (also was going to ask for mentions :P )
[07:19] <BlueEagle> Casey: If you try another livecd from another distro that will rule out an issue with the bootloader, initrd and default x11 settings. Since Ubuntu is not working perhaps a Mint or Zorin or other liveCD may work. It will determine if it is Ubuntu that is at fault or if it is a generic issue with your PC and X11/xorg and so on.
[07:19] <dante_> there are different versions of it though
[07:19] <bazhang> dante_, ask in #grub then
[07:20] <martimus> rinzler, i think im up to date on everything (and yeah, i havent been on irc more than a couple times in the last few years, ive been forgetting :P)
[07:21] <martimus> rinzler, is there a command i can type in to auto-update everything?
[07:21] <rinzler> martimus: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal to make sure. If there are any significant updates, it'll ask you to confirm
[07:23] <Casey> thank you for the help. Recieving help at #linuxmint now
[07:23] <martimus> rinzler, i got a whole bunch of warnings like "W: Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/wizorb/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages  The requested URL returned error: 401
[07:23] <martimus> "
[07:24] <martimus> punctuated by the error: "E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[07:24] <martimus> it does seem to have accomplished something before that, im just not sure what lol
[07:24] <rinzler> martimus: assuming you're connected to teh internetz run just "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:25] <rinzler> anyone else know why the option to change file managers would be missing in a vinilla 12.04 install?
[07:26] <bazhang> rinzler, change to thunar? or what
[07:26] <martimus> upgrade went just fine, though it didnt help :/
[07:26] <martimus> bazhang, im trying to change to pcmanfm at the moment, though anything other than nautilus i imagine would follow the same process
[07:27] <rinzler> bazhang: yeah, or something... martimus is trying to change filemanagers
[07:37] <D4rkH4nd> I needs some one good with bash scripts to help me fix what im trying to do here lol its close just not right
[07:37] <rinzler> anyone know of a good ftp server solution?
[07:38] <Flannel> rinzler: Do you actually need FTP? or is this just for personal use?
[07:40] <martimus> rinzler, a good deal more searching (this time looking through the ubuntu forums page by page instead of using any actual search terms...) found me this: sudo apt-get install exo-utils, then exo-preferred-applications... and that opens the thing you were referring to
[07:40] <martimus> :)
[07:41] <bazhang> D4rkH4nd, what are you trying to do
[07:41] <rinzler> martimus: Heh. never came across that *scratches head* Glad you're all set, though!
[07:41] <martimus> rinzler, that said, using it doesnt seem to have worked. crap.
[07:43] <D4rkH4nd> bazhang   http://pastie.org/5071864
[07:44] <rinzler> Flannel: Setting up a small hosting gig. I'd just as soon set up users and open up SSH on port 21 for SFTP access. Just wanted to know if there was a better way....
[07:44] <bazhang> D4rkH4nd, was this related to running a jar without installing java, from earlier?
[07:44] <D4rkH4nd> no
[07:44] <rinzler> martimus: well, shucks.
[07:44] <D4rkH4nd> its for a game i play it has a glitch on linux were the java file breaks so you have to erase it EVERY time you launch
[07:45] <Flannel> rinzler: really, that's much easier.  But if you want "real" FTP, vsftpd is the preferred: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html
[07:46] <martimus> rinzler, ah well. i appreciate the help. i'll try again another time when i'm *not* desperate for sleep due to it being 2:45am. 'night
[07:46] <Flannel> rinzler: Most, if not all, FTP clients also do sftp, so from the user's perspective, it's identical.
[07:46] <rinzler> martimus: well, then. I'm out of my element on that one :P I use a different environment than the one that is default installed, so I wouldn't be able to help very well :P Night!
[07:46] <zamba> how do i remove old kernel images?
[07:46] <zamba> my /boot is full
[07:47] <gordonjcp> zamba: sudo rm, and tread carefully ;-)
[07:47] <rinzler> Flannel: using an FTP client in SFTP mode will still encrypt traffic, right?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> zamba: Remove the old kernel packages using apt-get.
[07:47] <bazhang> zamba, the package manager
[07:47] <kickingvegas>  zamba: apt-get autoremove
[07:47] <Flannel> gordonjcp, zamba: purge the old packages (linux-image-*) but not the current ones!
[07:47] <rinzler> (I ask like a total noob)
[07:47] <bazhang> gordonjcp, thats not good advice
[07:47] <Flannel> rinzler: SFTP means it goes over ssh, so yeah.
[07:48] <gordonjcp> bazhang: is there a better way?
[07:48] <rinzler> Flannel: cool. I might as well go that route anyways. It's nothing high risk anyways :P
[07:48] <gordonjcp> bazhang: it's what I've always done
[07:48] <bazhang> gordonjcp, the package management system, yeah
[07:49] <gordonjcp> bazhang: heh, good point, what's the magic word for removing obsolete kernels?
 my /boot is full < why do you have a separate partition for /boot?
[07:49] <Calinou> you should only have separate partitions for /home
[07:49] <zamba> Calinou: ubuntu set it up that way
[07:49] <bazhang> Calinou, some do
[07:49] <zamba> Calinou: i just next-next-nexted it
[07:50] <D4rkH4nd> Anyone wanna take a crack at fixing up my bash script please ?   http://pastie.org/5071864
[07:51] <gordonjcp> D4rkH4nd: depends what's wrong with it
[07:51] <D4rkH4nd> gordonjcp: Well first off... Im a nub and this is my first bash script LOL. so it wont work
[07:52] <gordonjcp> D4rkH4nd: no error, no description of what you're trying to achieve...
[07:52] <gordonjcp> can't help you
[07:52] <D4rkH4nd> gordonjcp:  I just wanna prompt y or n to run. if yes run what in the st() function
[07:53] <somsip> D4rkH4nd: don't you need a 'read yn' in there?
[07:54] <D4rkH4nd> idk lol never made a bash script B4
[07:54] <somsip> D4rkH4nd: well, if you can't look that up to see if I'm wrong, I can't really help more
[07:55] <MonkeyDust> D4rkH4nd  there's also #bash
[07:55] <D4rkH4nd> see idk the diffrance lol. was hopping someone could just straighten this one up for me. Its all there just not structured right,
[07:59] <ton> Hello, Who've used Zorin os 6 ? Which's better to use ubuntu.
[07:59] <MonkeyDust> ton  not supported here and depends on what you like more
[07:59] <MonkeyDust> zorin has a lot of eye candy
[08:01] <jsegura> Anyone has found a good way to automatically remove old linux-image versions from ubuntu-server?
[08:01] <MonkeyDust> ton  when it comes to preinstaled codecs etc, zorin is more like mint, i guess
[08:03] <ton> if talked about defects?
[08:03] <MonkeyDust> ton  try it to find out!
[08:04] <MonkeyDust> ton  there's #zorinos, but only 4 users there
[08:05] <ton>  Thankyou.
[08:06] <MonkeyDust> each OS has its own defects, you'll have to decide which you find acceptable
[08:07] <crizis> with linux distros, just pick the most popular one, all of them just package same software anyway, and who cares for default desktop theme. it all comes down to support / reliability on updates / available howtos etc
[08:09] <DaemonicApathy> Crizis: That's exactly why I chose Ubuntu - it now looks nothing like it did out of the box, but the updates and software are current.
[08:09] <emmanuel_> hola
[08:09] <DaemonicApathy> Hello, emmanuel
[08:10] <emmanuel_> hello
[08:11] <ruesy> when is a ubuntu 12.10 release date?
[08:12] <crizis> tomorrow
[08:12] <crizis> 18th
[08:12] <ruesy> wow
[08:12] <somsip> !12.10 | ruesy
[08:14] <ton> Do you have problems with this switch windows? it 's lag.
[08:16] <ruesy> Can you tell me what ever someone build on ubuntu cloud server url?
[08:16] <ruesy> The latest date
[08:16] <Tobias__> hi
[08:17] <dante_> grub2 is the Hitler of bootloaders
[08:17] <Tobias__> Hello
[08:18] <Tobias__> I just got ubuntu after my windows 7 kept blue screening a friend adviced me to install it...
[08:18] <Tobias__> its working great in comparison
[08:18] <jpds> dante_: That's not very nice.
[08:18] <Tobias__> i'm having some issues with my external hard drive though, is anyone around to advice me?
[08:18] <jpds> dante_: Still, beats lilo.
[08:19] <dante_> neither is grub2's documentation
[08:19] <dante_> its a maze
[08:19] <dante_> a monstrosity
[08:19] <bazhang> dante_, stop that
[08:19] <MonkeyDust> dante_  we get the message, no rants here, please
[08:19] <bazhang> dante_, ask a real question
[08:19] <Tobias__> can anyone answer a quick question?
[08:19] <jpds> Tobias__: Yes.
[08:19] <jpds> Tobias__: See? I just answered your quick question.
[08:19] <dante_> I swear by this point its a sentient being bent on torturing the souls of the innocent purely for pleasure.
[08:20] <Tobias__> cool so i just installed ubuntu and im trying to access my external hard drive
[08:20] <Tobias__> but am having huge problems.
[08:20] <Tobias__> lol,
[08:20] <iceroot> !details | Tobias__
[08:20] <dante_> oh ouch I'm hurt
[08:20] <Tobias__> im running the latest ubuntu i think its 11.4 or something
[08:20] <bazhang> dante_, stay to the point.
[08:20] <dante_> about?
[08:21] <Tobias__> and well i tried to follow this website on how to detect your external hd
[08:21] <Tobias__> but now it kind of detects it but shows nothing inside
[08:21] <Tobias__> it shows a folder called lost and found
[08:21] <jpds> dante_: You're welcome to write your own bootloader and see how hard it is. But anyway, back on topic.
[08:23] <Tobias__> hmm am i unhelpable ?
[08:23] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  it detects your HD and shows it contains los/found
[08:24] <bazhang> Tobias__, what was the filesystem on that external hdd
[08:24] <Tobias__> the files on my ext hd are a bunch of pics and crap from my old comp
[08:24] <Tobias__> it shows my ext hd on the side bar
[08:24] <Tobias__> it says its 1.0 mb filesystem
[08:24] <bazhang> Tobias__, yes. but what filesystem
[08:25] <Tobias__> how can i tell
[08:25] <Tobias__> i dont know what a file system is sorry.
[08:25] <bazhang> ntfs? ext4?
[08:25] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  type sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit and paste the url here
[08:25] <llutz> "sudo blkid" fdisk shows partition-ids not filesystems
[08:25] <Sajmon> bazhang: fat32?
[08:26] <Tobias__> type that into my terminal?
[08:26] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  yes
[08:26] <Tobias__> and then copy paste everything here?
[08:27] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, which command?
[08:27] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  no, use pastebinit, it returns a url, paste that here
[08:27] <Tobias__> what is pastebinit how do i use it?
[08:27] <bazhang> Tobias__, you'd need to install it
[08:28] <dante_> or you can just use pastebin.com and not bloat your system by installing more things
[08:28] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  you'll see, it's very easy and handy
[08:28] <dante_> or paste.debian.et
[08:28] <dante_> *net
[08:29] <Tobias__> k moneydust i just installed it
[08:29] <dante_> (wedding march playing in the background) here comes the bloat here come the bloat
[08:29] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  great, now type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit
[08:30] <Tobias__> k it says
[08:30] <Tobias__> WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[08:31] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  is it a 3TB harddisk?
[08:31] <Tobias__> i dunno what that means.
[08:31] <MonkeyDust> ok, so no
[08:32] <dante_> You all are humorless, emotionally retarded robots.
[08:32] <Tobias__> its a seagate external hard drive.
[08:32] <D4rkH4nd> ahh whats the promblem dante ?
[08:32] <D4rkH4nd> OTHER then my spelling lol
[08:33] <Tobias__> hmm do you guys think i should even keep ubuntu?
[08:33] <Tobias__> i am not super computer savy...
[08:33] <Tobias__> am i capable of using this?
[08:34] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  you're learning, like we all had
[08:34] <Tobias__> okay thanks.
[08:34] <MonkeyDust> did, not had
[08:35] <Tobias__> so is it going to be possible to get the files of my ex hd
[08:35] <rinzler> Ok, I have never run into this, but I'm trying to do SFTP using filezilla, and I enter the correct details, and it says "cannot establish ftp connection to sftp server." What the crap happened here?
[08:36] <brontosaurusrex> rinzler, can you ping the server?
[08:36] <slide> If i decline an update to a configuration file, will it stay in /usr/share/php5/php.ini-production.cli so i can examine it after?
[08:37] <rinzler> brontosaurusrex: I can do whatever I want to that server except this specific thing
[08:37] <Tobias__> hmm is there a resource anyone knows about
[08:37] <Tobias__> that i can use to figure this out
[08:37] <Tobias__> i tried googling it but its a bunch of steps
[08:37] <Tobias__> and it didnt work out
[08:37] <benedict> hi, what is the easiest way to share folders in ubunt 12.04? i have to add that i am using thunar and fluxbox instead of nautilus and unity. i'm familiar to command line.
[08:38] <crizis> benedict, just 2nd click on the folder on nautilus and set sharing..
[08:38] <brontosaurusrex> benedict, what is/are the client os?
[08:39] <Tobias__> is there a better ubuntu help channel?
[08:39] <Tobias__> one specifically to get help?
[08:39] <crizis> Tobias__, this is for that :P
[08:39] <Tobias__> oh
[08:39] <brontosaurusrex> Tobias__, whats yout question exactly, stop spamming
[08:39] <benedict> crizis, i don't use nautilus.
[08:39] <MonkeyDust> i'm not familiar enough with GPT to help
[08:39] <benedict> brontosaurusrex, an other linux
[08:40] <slide> ask question, and wait patiently for answer :) everyone is a volunteer in here helping
[08:40] <Tobias__> How do i get my external hard drive to be accessable so i can save the files onto my desktop.
[08:40] <crizis> benedict, avoiding easy ways, huh? :)
[08:40] <brontosaurusrex> benedict, i use ssh and sshfs on client os
[08:40] <crizis> Tobias__, just plugging external hd in has always just worked for me.. including ntfs disks. what's the problem?
[08:40] <benedict> crizis, one could say so... on the other hand i like to have things under control and see how they work... two sides of the same medal i guess :P
[08:40] <nibbler_> benedict: install samba and check out /etc/samba/smb.conf, its well documented
[08:41] <benedict> brontosaurusrex, and on the server?
[08:41] <Tobias__> crizis well it says
[08:41] <brontosaurusrex> vanilla ssh server
[08:41] <nibbler_> benedict: also you could use things like sshfs, maybe even easier if you talk ssh on both ends
[08:41] <Tobias__> it shows some weird folder instead... and when i open it it shows  a folder called "lost and found"
[08:41] <strikerun> hai, i need guide to instal dual os (window, linux) in my computer. who can guide me??
[08:41] <Tobias__> and it wont even let me access that folder.
[08:41] <benedict> brontosaurusrex, the idea is to share data from a weak computer to a stronger computer for calculations. till now i did it with pen drive but after some time i los track of the "versions"
[08:42] <nibbler_> Tobias__: lost and found belongs to every FS in linux, just ignore it.
[08:42] <benedict> nibbler_, ok
[08:42] <Tobias__> but there is nothing else in there.
[08:42] <Tobias__> Its empty
[08:42] <crizis> Tobias__, lost and found is usually created after fsck check.. sounds like a b0rked filesystem on the disk :/
[08:42] <nibbler_> Tobias__: that happens.... at least once in the lifecycle of every disk
[08:42] <crizis> Tobias__, is it ntfs disk from windows?
[08:43] <Tobias__> what is ntfs?
[08:43] <slide> tobias_ is there supposed to be files in there already?
[08:43] <crizis> windows file system
[08:43] <strikerun> yess
[08:43] <slide> is/are
[08:43] <brontosaurusrex> benedict, you can also use rsync if you need data fizically on stronger machine
[08:43] <Tobias__> its a external hard drive with a bunch of files from my windows 7 os
[08:43] <Tobias__> jpegs, important word docs, etc
[08:43] <crizis> Tobias__, does it open on windows 7 machine, then?
[08:43] <D4rkH4nd> I need help writing a case/esac  that will use a function
[08:43] <Tobias__> yes
[08:43] <iceroot> D4rkH4nd: #bash
[08:44] <Tobias__> its pretty easily accesable in windows
[08:44] <Sajmon> Tobias__: if crizis thinks its a broken disk then u could try it on another computer to see if it´t working or not :D
[08:44] <benedict> brontosaurusrex, hm, good point - didn't think about that. i think it is the better solution. there are big files that will be needed for calculation over and over again... nut sure if Matlab stores them locally
[08:44] <Tobias__> yeah i have.
[08:45] <benedict> crizis, nibbler_ brontosaurusrex thank you all. i'll stick to the rsync method
[08:45] <Sajmon> ok, thats good :D
[08:45] <Tobias__> so it should just show and be accesable?
[08:45] <Tobias__> i shouldnt have to do anything extra?
[08:45] <Sajmon> yes i would think so :)
[08:45] <Tobias__> when i first plugged it in it didnt even show at all.
[08:45] <Tobias__> I looked on some website and tried to follow directions to create a partition for it or soemthing
[08:45] <Tobias__> now it shows
[08:46] <mangostache> So when I start Ubuntu It goes straight to the desktop, then after about 1 minute it quits all open programs and sends me to the login screen. How can I stop this from happening?
[08:46] <Tobias__> but it doesnt show anything inside it.
[08:46] <k610> My 12.04 server has a public ipv4 setted up in /etc/network/interfaces
[08:46] <k610> I wan't to host a kvm on that same machine how should I bridge and-or setup network for any vm running on it ?
[08:46] <Sajmon> ok so u had to mount the disk manually?
[08:46] <Tobias__> that is what i tried to do
[08:46] <Tobias__> but i dunno if i did it right or what.
[08:47] <Tobias__> seems as though i didnt.
[08:47] <Tobias__> lol
[08:47] <Sajmon> that could be the problem :D
[08:47] <Tobias__> how do i go about fixing this?
[08:48] <Sajmon> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:48] <Sajmon> it thats a helpful link i just posted :D
[08:48] <MonkeyDust> k610  basically, change NAT to bridged in the settings, to make a ogical bridge to your existing network
[08:49] <crizis> Sajmon, the thing it, that should just work by plugging in ntfs disk
[08:49] <crizis> and it does work, i have several myself
[08:50] <Sajmon> crizis: yes i´m aware of that so i think it´s strange too ...
[08:51] <lotuspsychje> im looking for an automatic xkill that can kill a process after rising memory too high before it freezes desktop
[08:51] <Tobias__> sajmon hmm one of the pics showing the code to type into terminal on that website is not there.
[08:51] <k610> MonkeyDust: the ip 130.xxx.xxx.xxx  has to be set staticaly on the server : what ip will the vm have ?   i think i also need to setup some port fowarding from the server to the vm
[08:52] <llutz> lotuspsychje: wouldn't it be better to limit the max mem-usage of that specific process, using ulimit ?
[08:52] <k610> MonkeyDust: the server will have a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx ip on a virtual network and vm too ?
[08:52] <MonkeyDust> k610  with a bridge, yes
[08:53] <Tobias__> hmm i have no idea how to do this correctly.
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> llutz: yes thats what im looking for, you know the command to run it from terminal?
[08:53] <Tobias__> im at manual configuration
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> !info ulimit > lotuspsychje
[08:53] <somsip> lotuspsychje: would this help? http://blog.endpoint.com/2012/08/automatically-kill-process-using-too.html
[08:53] <Tobias__> when i type sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | awk '{print $1}' it doenst bring up my what it should
[08:54] <Tobias__> it says WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[08:54] <Tobias__> what does that mean?
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> somsip:tnx im think gonna use llutz ulimit package
[08:54] <llutz> lotuspsychje: not sure, something like: "ulimit -vS 800000"
[08:54] <somsip> lotuspsychje: k
[08:54] <llutz> lotuspsychje:sets max virtual memory 800MB
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> Tobias__  read this to get an idea http://johnlewis.ie/converting-to-gpt-in-ubuntu/
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> llutz:but howto findout how much memory the specific program use?
[08:55] <llutz> lotuspsychje: top, ps
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> llutz:ok tnx mate lemme try it out
[08:56] <Sajmon> Tobias__: It should actually mount it automatically for you. are you perhaps having som encryption or security program on the disk? i had something like that on a sandisk cruzer memory stick and i had to remove it to be able to mount it in ubuntu :D
[08:56] <llutz> lotuspsychje: but if your system freezes when running this command, it doesn't sound as a memory-issue. If it runs out of memory, it will be terminated
[08:57] <Myrtti> Sajmon: too late, he's gone.
[08:57] <Sajmon> k
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> llutz:no its for a specific program that freezes my desktop once in a while, so rather then reboot i wanna limit it
[08:58] <chalcedony> my husband has a new computer with a sapphire video card, he's trying to download a driver but it gives an error
[08:58] <chalcedony> hang on he may have it
[08:59] <crizis> chalcedony, ati?
[08:59] <chalcedony> crizis, yes
[08:59] <chalcedony> radeon
[09:00] <crizis> chalcedony, just search for 'additional' in dash (should give you additional drivers, or through system preferences > additional drivers), and click the driver on. NOTE to NOT to select the one that says 'post-release' updates as it won't work. other one does
[09:00] <crizis> chalcedony, if you want newer/post-release driver, this needs to be installed manually from command line: sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
[09:04] <nicekiwi> im trying to play a DVD, i get this error: GStreamer backend error - Could not read title information for DVD. Help? (libdvdcss2 is installed))
[09:04] <blackshirt> is not
[09:05] <chalcedony> crizis, it's unable to locate the fglrx-updates
[09:05] <ruesy> quit
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> nicekiwi:did you install vlc to play dvd?
[09:06] <nicekiwi> lotuspsychje, no. Id rather avoid VLC.
[09:06] <MonkeyDust> nicekiwi  maybe you need to install restricted extras
[09:07] <nicekiwi> MonkeyDust, I have
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> nicekiwi  try xine
[09:07] <nicekiwi> aha..

[09:08] <somsip> !info smplayer
[09:08] <crizis> chalcedony, just install the regular driver then and forget the post-release one
[09:08] <lotuspsychje> somsip: i found a cool flash workaround with smplayer
[09:08] <nicekiwi> MonkeyDust, sooo gstreamer wont work? It works fine on my other computer..
[09:09] <somsip> lotuspsychje: ok...er...nice :)
[09:09] <lotuspsychje> somsip:firefox addon 'open with' then set smplayer in the list, and all youtube video's can be played with smplayer

[10:04] <nicekiwi> MonkeyDust, sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> nicekiwi:was it a sata dvd player?
[10:05] <monaDeveloper> how can I enable hardware tab in sound settings?
[10:05] <Gyro54> akis: from the top rh menu drop down the suspend should change to shutdown when you use the alt button
[10:05] <nicekiwi> lotuspsychje, yes
[10:05] <rinzler> ok, so followed the instructions outlined here: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot and filezilla will not connect to my test user. any ideas?
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> nicekiwi:this is relevant info you should have told us mate
[10:06] <nicekiwi> lot :/ gee.. you coulda asked..
[10:06] <akis> oh. yes. that's it. you are super. i didnt read this anywehere googling. bravo!
[10:06] <ifndefx> hi, is it possible to format a harddrive as ntfs within ubuntu ?
[10:06] <nicekiwi> ifndefx, yes
[10:06] <lotuspsychje> !ntfs | ifndefx
[10:07] <Gyro54> akis: they are going to change this in the next version but by then everyone should know how to do it
[10:07] <ETherHelp> when i do IFCONFIG i see no eth, but it appears the device when i do LSPCI...how can i activate it?
[10:07] <ifndefx> hi nicekiwi thanks but from the name its a talking about mounting would I need to mount it then format as ntfs (its a brand new harddrive)
[10:07] <akis> Gyro54: is it possible to change 'user' icon with another? also network icon and language option?
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> ETherhelp:did you install the correct card driver?
[10:08] <ETherHelp> how can i get the proper driver?
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> ETherhelp:what card brand is it?
[10:09] <ETherHelp> when i do lspci is: intel 1503 (rev 05)
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> ETherhelp:did you check the additional drivers in dash icon?
[10:10] <rinzler> I set "usermod -s /bin/false myuser" Does this mean that myuser has no access through ssh and sftp?
[10:10] <Gyro54> akis: You can change pretty much anything but I am not the one can tell you how
[10:11] <ETherHelp> lotuspsychje: dash icon?
[10:11] <Gyro54> akis: I am pretty basic with this
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> ETherhelp:yeah main icon left corner up and then search for additional drivers icon
[10:12] <ETherHelp> lotuspsychje: 10.04.4
[10:12] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys, would you recommend i install gnucash from the repository (ubuntu 12.04 LTS) or from their site?
[10:12] <ETherHelp> lotuspsychje: no additional drivers listed
[10:12] <_cronus_> info, check the manual of bash under functions. basically the arguments of a function are accessed as $1 $2 etc.
[10:13] <lotuspsychje> ETherhelp:your ubuntu version is still on 10.04?
[10:13] <ETherHelp> lotuspsychje: yes
[10:13] <Sidewinder> Wiz_KeeD, Repositories are the recommended way.
[10:13] <Wiz_KeeD> that so?
[10:13] <lotuspsychje> ETherHelp:its very recommended to install precise 12.04 clean mate
[10:13] <Wiz_KeeD> ok sir
[10:15] <lotuspsychje> ETherHelp:it might recognize your wifi driver by default on precise
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> ETherHelp:if you want to stick to 10.04 you could modprobe the correct module for your card
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> ETherHelp:something like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1711388
[10:17] <particledust> hi, i wasn able to create a swapdisk during a fresh ubuntu install, is that possible afterwards?
[10:17] <dr_willis> particledust: yes. or make a swapfile
[10:17] <particledust> can you explain how?
[10:17] <dr_willis> or make both.
[10:18] <dr_willis> !swap
[10:18] <particledust> i see
[10:18] <nicekiwi> ifndefx, theres probly better tutorials around but Gparted can do it for ya. http://www.ehow.com/how_8243167_use-gparted-format-ntfs-disk.html
[10:18] <grammoboy> how does that work with torrent?
[10:18] <grammoboy> i've made a torrent file
[10:19] <grammoboy> trying to seed it to a friend
[10:19] <grammoboy> but we doesn't seem to be connected
[10:19] <grammoboy> seeding to 0 of 0 connected peers - stalled
[10:19] <grammoboy> my friend says there is 1 peer 0 seeding
[10:20] <particledust> thanks man
[10:20] <dr_willis> torrenting to a single person.  seems weird
[10:20] <ifndefx> nicekiwi: ok great thats exactly what I want thanks
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:wich program you using?
[10:20] <nicekiwi> ifndefx, :)
[10:20] <grammoboy> lotuspsychje, transmission
[10:21] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:did you apply your torrent to a specific site or you trying to direct connect the ip?
[10:21] <akis> Gyro54: ok. thanks
[10:21] <grammoboy> lotuspsychje, I added opentracker to the trackers list
[10:21] <elspuddy> hi, im useing vnc4server to remote into my ubuntu box, but i want to change the rez, what file do i edit to do this ?
[10:22] <grammoboy> udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80
[10:22] <harovali> I was in need to run linux kernel 3.2.x in Lucid, so I copied a sources.list from a precise 12.04 LTS installation, then I ran apt-get update and then apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic-pae. This functioned well. The machine rebooted fine. However, the network did not get up. I went back to the original sources.list and removed the 3.2 kernel, and now I'm fine back at the Lucid backported kernel. What can have gon 
[10:24] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:does your friend have direct link to your file?
[10:24] <grammoboy> lotuspsychje, i've send him the torrent file
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:any errors he getting after opening?
[10:25] <grammoboy> lotuspsychje, not that I know of
[10:26] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:might be your torrent holding wrong info or something?
[10:26] <grammoboy> lotuspsychje, so the method as described should work?
[10:26] <rinzler> sftpd is denying connections to a certain user. What can I check to fix this?
[10:27] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:not really familliar with building a torrent file
[10:27] <lotuspsychje> grammoboy:lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> grammoboy  is this link usefu? http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq/bittorrent-control
[10:28] <rinzler> sshd is denying connections to a certain user. What can I check to fix this?
[10:29] <Skei> Morning. I've written a quick script to set my CPU governor to performance ( runs fine ) and I've added it to the Startup list of items. When I boot, it doesn't get run. Where can I find logs to see if it's been called, or if it's giving any output ? I'm running 12.04 with XFCE.
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> rinzler:you have deny_hosts installed?
[10:30] <AdvoWork> hi there, i'm trying to search for certain text in any type of file(i dont know where it is) and am doing: grep -Hrn 'search term' path/to/files  but its taking ages, any advice?
[10:31] <nibbler_> AdvoWork: du -sh path/to/files, devide by your hd speed and take some extra cpu for complicated regexps
[10:31] <dr_willis> you are grepping binary files also?
[10:31] <rinzler> lotuspsychje: how do I check for that?
[10:31] <harovali> Skei: probably there is some missing kernel module, anyway, why not modify your script so that it logs the results of each command to a file of yours?
[10:32] <lotuspsychje> rinzler:its a package to deny ssh bruteforces, if not installed might wanna check conf files of ssh
[10:32] <dr_willis> Skei:  where did you 'add' this script to exactly?
[10:32] <ConGiun> :D
[10:32] <ConGiun> hello guys :D
[10:33] <ConGiun> ~.~
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> ok bbl guys
[10:33] <rinzler> lotuspsychje: I probably don't. What do I need to check in config files?
[10:33] <Skei> dr_willis, to the Startup and Sessions menu in XFCE.
[10:33] <AdvoWork> dr_willis, should i exclude those?
[10:34] <dr_willis> AdvoWork:  it would   seem weird that you dont even know if what you are looking for is in a 'text' file or some arbitary binary.   so it would help to refine your searching
[10:36] <ejv> morning, im trying to find all the files in a dir that match .txt or .log but not .doc and then count them, how can I accomplish this? something like: find foo/ -type f | grep -cE '*.txt\|*.log' isn't working like I thought it would, suggestions welcome :)
[10:39] <dr_willis> find supports regular expressions i belive.
[10:39] <dr_willis> i done do much 'find-fu' ;)
[10:39] <monk_> hi
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> ejv  try grep -v     (verbose)
[10:40] <rinzler> sshd is denying connections to users that I put in chroot jail according to these instructions: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot any ideas as to why?
[10:40] <_cronus_> ejv,  try find foo/ -type f -name *txt -or -name *log
[10:41] <AdvoWork> dr_willis, i know what the text is im looking for, but it could be in any file. Its for a web based application but not in the usual locations(its on a web interface, so could be anywhere)
[10:46] <dr_willis> AdvoWork: if its in a binary. or archive it may be compressed where it won't be found by grep also.
[10:46] <nibbler_> AdvoWork: use zgrep if you want to search in zipped files - binary should be searched aswell
[10:47] <dr_willis> id search the text files first. and hope for a hit. ;-)
[10:47] <dr_willis> then expand the search
[10:50] <rinzler> sshd is denying connections to users that I put in chroot jail according to these instructions: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot any ideas as to why?
[10:50] <nibbler_> rinzler: what are the logs saying?
[10:51] <jrib> rinzler: what does "denying connections" mean?  What type of connections?
[10:51] <dr_willis> logs and the verbose logging option in ssh should give some info
[10:51] <vulcanmum> hi dr_willis
[10:54] <greek> Hi fellas. I'm using a command line tool on my Ubuntu server called wkhtmltopdf to convert HTML files to PDF. The conversion works perfectly, except images are not displayed in the PDF. However the same HTML renders just fine in the browser (and the images show up). Could this have something to do with the fact that my server doesn't have a GUI? Thanks
[10:55] <crizis> greek, i would think images need to be with full path for such tools to work, at least
[10:56] <greek> crizis, yeah I've tried full path, as well as relative, local, sticking everything in the same folder, etc. No luck
[10:56] <greek> But just to reiterate, the same HTML renders just fine when loaded from my browser (and the images all show up)
[10:56] <crizis> check cli output if it complains about some missing libjpeg/libpng or somesuch lib
[10:57] <crizis> i've only used "html2pdf"- tool so dunno about that one
[10:57] <greek> Well I did see this in the log file: QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
[10:58] <greek> This is what led me to believe my Ubuntu server missing a GUI might be the culprit
[10:58] <crizis> http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/compilation there's list of packages/dependencies
[10:59] <crizis> however, could be it's not possible to use that one without X if ^ installing those qt/x11 libs doesn't help
[10:59] <crizis> greek, for an alternative, i've used http://www.html2pdf.fr/en this, which has had no probs with images
[11:00] <greek> crizis does html2pdf handle html / css such as overlapping divs, floating, etc?
[11:00] <crizis> i have no idea
[11:00] <crizis> http://www.tufat.com/s_html2ps_html2pdf.htm that one does, at least
[11:01] <greek> Ok cool thanks for the tips
[11:01] <greek> I'm going to try get wkhtmltopdf to work because it has the most robust html/css support from what i've found
[11:01] <greek> I think it's just a case of setting up my server correctly
[11:02] <user123132> :ejv, you have a typo in your script , it shoul be find ./ -type f | grep -cE '*.txt|*.log' , and without "\"
[11:02] <greek> is there any way for me to test if a dependency is already installed? I'm a bit new at that sort of thing
[11:02] <crizis> sudo apt-get install <package>
[11:02] <crizis> if it is, it won't install ;)
[11:02] <greek> crizis, ok so I can just run that for all the dependencies in that link you sent me
[11:04] <greek> crizis, what's xorg
[11:04] <greek> is that the X11 thing you mentioned
[11:04] <crizis> yes
[11:05] <crizis> these should be enough: xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools
[11:05] <greek> holy crap 87mb
[11:05] <crizis> yeah that's almost 6 seconds to download on server with 100mbit connection ;)
[11:06] <greek> not on my poor little dev server in south africa :( haha
[11:06] <greek> that'll take about 10 minutes
[11:06] <greek> we're still inthe stone age here man
[11:06] <greek> well at least some of us :-P
[11:06] <crizis> ^^
[11:06] <greek> but it's getting much, much better
[11:07] <_cronus_> greek, have you tried the 0.9.9 static binary?
[11:08] <greek> _cronus_, yeah both the 0.9 and 0.11 static binaries are what I'm trying
[11:08] <greek> the PDFs are generating just fine, but images don't show up in them
[11:08] <greek> hangon a sec, surely if the PDFs are generating then it means the X support is ok?
[11:10] <Dragonster82> Hey what's up guys!
[11:10] <RealOpty> i installed xubuntu-desktop package. how can i revert this lol... im not asking how to remove packages.
[11:10] <crizis> greek, i'll test that thing myself..
[11:11] <ifndefx> Hi with Gparted, I'm trying to partition a 3TB harddrive with an NTFS filesystem.

If i want to use the harddisk interchangebly from WIndows to Linux whats the appropriate Partition Type that I should select ?
[11:11] <greek> crizis, 64bit static binary here: http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2 and 32 bit here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/detail?name=wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-i386.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
[11:11] <greek> sorry 32 bit here: http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-i386.tar.bz2
[11:12] <nicekiwi> heyy i installed php my admin, but its not working, it didnt install to the right directory from the ubuntu repos
[11:12] <crizis> greek, worked perfectly for me. tested the version from 12.04 repositories (sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf) and did wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf and images worked fine
[11:13] <whatwhat> anyone here can help ? how to install android development ide ?
[11:13] <blackhole> anyone please help me with exprienced an internal error, it keeps pops up
[11:14] <greek> crizis yeah that's not the static binary though, that's the ubuntu package, which unfortunately doesn't support certain features (custom page breaks being one of the more crucial ones). So we're trying to get the static binaries to work :)
[11:15] <blackhole> anyone please help me with exprienced an internal error, it keeps pops up
[11:15] <crizis> i'll test that one too then..
[11:16] <crizis> greek, that doesn't work indeed. memory overflow and complains about that qpixmap
[11:16] <_cronus_> greek, tried the .11 version on a server machine and got the QPixmap warnings, but 0.9 works fine here
[11:17] <crizis> i'm bored enough @ work so i'll try to compile that and see what happens
[11:18] <greek> crizis, ok I've had a breakthrough thanks to your help, installing xorg did the trick but then I just had to stick the images in the same folder as the outputted pdf file
[11:18] <nicekiwi> google is my friend. fixed now
[11:19] <wols> blackhole: you need to check _what_ experienced said error
[11:19] <blackhole> system something like that
[11:19] <greek> so at least now i know the images can show up in the pdf. I've just got to figure out how to set up the correct paths for the <img> tags
[11:19] <wols> blackhole: that's nice but totally useless
[11:20] <crizis> greek, for local files, file:///path/image.jpg should work
[11:20] <bhuey> Is there a KVM support channel here ?
[11:20] <crizis> from what i got from comments at wiki..
[11:20] <blackhole> i forgot the message pops up anyway thanks
[11:20] <greek> crizis, I didn't know I could do that! Will give it a try
[11:20] <greek> thanks
[11:20] <bhuey> I'm running into a problem creating a new VM under KVM using the graphical tools in that it blows out with an error messag
[11:20] <bhuey> message
[11:21] <crizis> greek, http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/Usage take a look at comments there, there's lots of discussion about images
[11:21] <blackhole> wols, system program problem detected thats the msg
[11:24] <ichadade> hi guys, I am currently running 12.04 on a workstation containing 2 Tesla C2075 GPU's. Due to the fact that this version is not currently supported by NVIDIA and hasn't been tested I found some issues where the XServer seems to corrupt the ECC counters of the particular GPU that is also used as display adapter. I therefore want to change and use the integrated Intel graphics card as video adapter and just keep the two GPU's simply for compute. I looked aroun
[11:24] <ichadade> any idea would be very much appreciated
[11:24] <obtrusivemouse> you could make your own driver :<
[11:25] <belgianguy> is 12.10 being released tomorrow?
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  yes, i've been using it for over a week now
[11:25] <belgianguy> MonkeyDust: great to hear, how do you like it?
[11:26] <Belgarath> hello, I try to install brocade-fc bfa drivers on ubuntu12.04 the driver appers to be working but doesn't report any drives.
[11:26] <ps> Hello folks!
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  it works
[11:26] <Belgarath> the same setup works with centos so the logical drivers are visible
[11:26] <akis> i run gnome and i press to the bubble on the right top side of my panel and suddenly i lost my desktop. i log out using ctrl+alt+del but when i came back i have now dektop just my background. what happened? how can i restore my gnome desktop. now i am in unity.
[11:27] <Guest65539> after I installed a hp driver my ubuntu don't stop telling me that it has an internal error. What should I do?
[11:27] <belgianguy> what kernel does it sport?
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> belgianguy  3.5 default
[11:27] <belgianguy> nice
[11:27] <Guest65539> or better saying what I can possible do other then uninstall it?
[11:27] <Belgarath> anybody can help me please ?
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> Belgarath  if you're sweet
[11:28] <Belgarath> MonkeyDust: that is very unlikely :)
[11:28] <crizis> akis, gnome-shell?
[11:28] <akis> crizis: yep
[11:28] <crizis> akis, it does that to me sometimes too, only reboot fixes it. so i kinda gave up with gnome-shell.. unity is just so much more stable
[11:29] <fidel_> 2012
[11:31] <akis> crizis: so you thing that reboot will fix it? i installed an extension which divides bubble (next to user name) and shut down indicator. and i press the bubble for curiosity reasons (i think its for social media networks only) and i lost the desktop. is it more clear now what happende?
[11:33] <b0ef> ehlo
[11:33] <b0ef> ubuntu froze while I installed an application and when I rebooted, it had lost all settings; all icons where just red crosses, the wallpaper was blue and themes where just from the 80's; I tried logging into gnome classic, gnome classic no effects and normal ubuntu, but still fubar; any idea what I can try?
[11:33] <Belgarath> b0ef: apt-get intall ubuntu-desktop
[11:33] <Belgarath> install*
[11:33] <crizis> akis, umm, well, i've sometimes managed to install extensions which prevented gnome-shell from starting at all - so try reboot first - if it does fix it, then it's just usual gnome-shell fail, if it doesn't, then you'll have to manually uninstall that extension from terminal
[11:34] <b0ef> Belgarath: so I should just try to reinstall you mean ubuntu-desktop?
[11:34] <Belgarath> yes
[11:34] <sasuke> hi guys
[11:34] <Belgarath> proboaby the package you installed ermoved a lot of other to satisfy dependancies and confilicts
[11:35] <b0ef> Belgarath: I hardly believe that, but I'll try;) .. thanks

[12:55] <sasuke> actionParsnip, i resently  upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10. I followed your process. So that why i am asking you
[12:56] <actionParsnip> sasuke: the release you are using is pre-release, this channel is for stable releases only. Quantal is only supported in #ubuntu+1 til release day
[12:56] <llutz> m3asmi: "sudo lsof -i :993"
[12:56] <Gnea> ETHelp: ifconfig just shows what devices are up and doesn't show which aren't
[12:56] <actionParsnip> Chaterz: if you run:    alsamixer   are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[12:56] <ETHelp> so...how can i guess what device should i up...eth0, eth1...?
[12:56] <Gnea> ETHelp: although, it can be told to show them all
[12:57] <Chaterz> actionParsnip, yes nothing muted
[12:57] <ETHelp> ok found
[12:57] <actionParsnip> Chaterz: and all high levels

[12:59] <XiaolinDraconis> where does gnome terminal store the command back log?
[13:00] <actionParsnip> Chaterz: if that is no good, try removing those lines and add: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop  reboot to test
[13:00] <rocket_hamster> have you tried bash_history Xia?
[13:00] <BluesKaj> actionParsnip, where did you find that fix , and why use alias instead of options ?
[13:00] <XiaolinDraconis> found it
[13:01] <actionParsnip> BluesKaj: no idea, something I found on a site, worth a shot
[13:01] <Chaterz> i guess theres a easier solution for this
[13:01] <BluesKaj> actionParsnip, as you know there are some intel audio setups that almost impossible to fix , ..I'll add this to the audio bag of tricks :)
[13:02] <BluesKaj> especially on laptoips
[13:03] <actionParsnip> BluesKaj: I just searched for the SIS chip with relation to alsa-base.conf   and it cam up (its not an intel chip) ;)
[13:04] <jass> hi
[13:04] <quick-> jass:  hi
[13:04] <jass> i have a problem
[13:04] <jass> http://askubuntu.com/questions/201681/failed-to-apply-network-settings-error-during-boot
[13:04] <pfcidade> oi
[13:04] <jass> here is the problem
[13:05] <greasegum> I wanna go upstream to Wheezy but I don't know the proper method. is that possible?
[13:05] <pfcidade> io como vai vocÊ
[13:05] <greasegum> jass:: dispense with the prefacing.
[13:05] <actionParsnip> greasegum: reinstall with Wheezy then
[13:07] <L3top> pt | pfcidade
[13:07] <L3top> !pt | pfcidade
[13:08] <greasegum> actionParsnip:: I guess that's my question then. do I have to do a full reinstall or can I just upgrade from a different repository?
[13:08] <L3top> I would expect all manner of breakage just trying to swap repos greasegum.
[13:09] <greasegum> L3top:: ok, def appreciate the advice.
[13:10] <zykotick9> greasegum: mixing distros - is crazyness.  you can't "upgrade" to wheezy, it's a VERY different system.  ubuntu != debian, and debian != ubuntu.
[13:12] <greasegum> zykotick9:: good point. I am just frustrated because I am trying to patch a buggy package (xscreensaver) with an upstream version.
[13:13] <greasegum> Not sure if it's in quantal. haven't checked
[13:14] <abhinavmehta> can anyone name me simplest web-server to run on ubuntu. I just want to install and run that server, just to ensure that my ubuntu-machine is up and working.
[13:15] <actionParsnip> abhinavmehta: apache2
[13:15] <abhinavmehta> actionParsnip: thats a big server….looking for the smallest and easiest one.
[13:15] <llutz> !info micro-httpd
[13:16] <abhinavmehta> llutz: awesome, thank you. :)
[13:16] <actionParsnip> abhinavmehta: why not install openssh-server, you can use it to check the up-ness as wel as get an SFTP server and remote, secure access to the system to allow you to run updates and so forth
[13:16] <actionParsnip> abhinavmehta: it is simple, its a web server, that's all
[13:17] <abhinavmehta> actionParsnip: I'll write tests-cases to check this, so extra-functionalities are of no use...
[13:17] <actionParsnip> abhinavmehta: 10Mb installed, pretty small
[13:17] <abhinavmehta> actionParsnip: As I said, I'll write tests, so each time I run the tests it will fire new ubuntu-machine and 10mb download and install.
[13:17] <actionParsnip> abhinavmehta: micro-httpd is 176kb installed, seems a lot just to check availability.
[13:18] <XiaolinDraconis> how can i make rootilus work better, like being able to double click text files to open

[13:25] <T3X> What is the best software tp use for Online radio station in ubuntu
[13:25] <XiaolinDraconis> actionParsnip, thats what i am using, problem is when i try to open files, it doesnt know how to open files
[13:25] <actionParsnip> michaelni: then run:   sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[13:25] <michealPW> Thank you, actionParsnip
[13:25] <actionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: I'd contact the developer
[13:26] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, its 8 img of windows 3.11 i would like to run in dosbox>>> http://tinyurl.com/coqxrgc
[13:26] <n1> WeThePeople done, but had to "sudo" before chown
[13:26] <n1> thx!
[13:26] <WeThePeople> np
[13:26] <michealPW> Whoa...
[13:26] <actionParsnip> n1: the file wasn't yours, so sudo was needed
[13:26] <michealPW> 1.0gb will be freed :|
[13:26] <michealPW> Good god KDE is big
[13:26] <michealPW> How can that even be?! LOL
[13:27] <Nine_9> hey guys, is there a way to play this: http://sradio.tv/live/1189 on linux? I've tried vlc and totem plugins but doesn't work.
[13:27] <n1> actionParsnip thx
[13:28] <Markus2> How can i install wine-1.2 deb into a seperate prefix, alongside a currently installed wine-1.4 deb?
[13:28] <actionParsnip> WeThePeople: http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/4558-windows-3-11-dosbox.html
[13:28] <michealPW> Oh it has edubuntu-deskto-kde and kubuntu-desktop installed. These top-level packages are crazy.
[13:28] <actionParsnip> michaelni: its a full desktop and all its features
[13:29] <llutz> michealPW: if you dont need them, why did you install them
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Nine_9, the site wants windows media player
[13:30] <michealPW> llutz: I was browsing Ubuntu Software Center for education programs/games for my kids. I'm guessing KDE tagged along with one of those educational packages? :\
[13:30] <WeThePeople> wow thanks actionparsnip
[13:31] <actionParsnip> michaelni: may have been a dep. One of the apps may have been KDE dependant etc.
[13:31] <michealPW> At first I was happy. I prefer KDE anyways.
[13:31] <jas> hi
[13:32] <michealPW> It's such a beautiful system with great apps. I couldn't get it to work though
[13:32] <jas> I have a problem regaing network settings
[13:32] <actionParsnip> jas: what's the issue?
[13:32] <michealPW> I finally give up today and want it out. Maybe I will try to install the new KDE 4.9 and have better experience.
[13:32] <jas> When I login into ubuntu 12.04
[13:32] <jas> I I found a strange error related to blue-tooth. Error is
[13:32] <actionParsnip> michealPW: there are other DEs :)
[13:33] <jas> Failed to apply network settings org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct You might not be able to connect to the Bluetooth network via this machine.
[13:33] <actionParsnip> jas: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[13:33] <michealPW> actionParsnip: Yea, my wife likes Unity I like KDE. GNOME 3 is kind of nice but I really prefer KDE hehe :)
[13:33] <jas> My system is dual boot. One OS is ubuntu 12.04 and another is windows 7. When I used to shutdown my system from ubuntu I am getting ubuntu login screen. Also I am unable to see the another drives of hard disk in ubuntu. Also If I insert the pendrive I have to mount it using command line. otherwise pendrive is not visible. Also wi-fi is not working. Please help me out
[13:34] <jas> wait
[13:36] <BluesKaj> jas what does your grub menu show ?
[13:37] <actionParsnip> jas: have you been messing with chmod or chown recently?
[13:40] <greasegum> I just want to say virtualbox is kindof amazing.
[13:40] <Abin>  hi all, can anyone locate .c source files related to selinux in the linux kernel source tree?
[13:41] <michealPW> There, thank you actionParsnip. KDE's on its way out :P
[13:42] <actionParsnip> michaelni: sweet
[13:42] <michealPW> Took KDE out from underneath me, had to start lightdm with it's init script hohoho
[13:42] <bnwkeys> Hello again, I have a new problem.  I was mucking with video drivers, cuz my fps was low in minecraft, and I think I've messed up my config.  Now when unity launches at boot, only an external monitor will display, but the LCD on my laptop just stays off.  Can someone help me reset my video configuration, kernel and xorg?  I don't really know what I'm doing yet... :(
[13:42] <actionParsnip> bnwkeys: what video chip?
[13:42] <bnwkeys> and this problem is gonna take me hours to resolve, one second let me get some system info
[13:43] <actionParsnip> bnwkeys: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[13:43] <dontknow> ubuntu 12.04 support intel turbo boost (ivy bridge)? i am monitoring it and i didn't see it kicks 3.0 ghz
[13:43] <BluesKaj> michealPW, ppl have given you good advice in in the kde chats , but you haven't followed that advice ...sudo apt-get didt-upgrade would have helped you , but you're too busy complaining to read
[13:43] <BluesKaj> dist-upgrade
[13:43] <michealPW> BluesKaj: I'm removing this broken KDE first before putting in the new one?
[13:43] <bnwkeys> actionParsnip: Precise pangolin
[13:44] <Osarius> Hi everyone, having issues with Ubuntu Precise.
[13:44] <Osarius> I'm VNCing to a remote server, and when I try to start any application I get 'Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)
[13:44] <BluesKaj> michealPW, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , first
[13:45] <actionParsnip> bnwkeys: and what video chip?
[13:45] <bnwkeys> actionParsnip: AMD nee ATI RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200m]
[13:45] <actionParsnip> Osarius: what are you wanting to do on the remote system? There may be a sleeker solution than VNC
[13:45] <michealPW> Well the other apt-get command's already being processed now, BluesKaj. besides, upgrading a broken and unusable desktop environment didn't make any sense to me...?
[13:45] <actionParsnip> bnwkeys: does it use the proprietary video driver?
[13:45] <michealPW> Wouldn't that just bring these problems into the new version, if they're configuration file problems for example?
[13:46] <BluesKaj> michealPW, sudo apt-get update:sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:46] <michealPW> 'cause renaming my .kde folder corrects all of the problems, temporarily..
[13:46] <Osarius> actionParsnip: I've installed YaCy - and I'm trying to access the configuration pages on localhost - I can't do this remotely.
[13:46] <bnwkeys> action: that's where I'm slowing down, not entirely sure how to check the kernel and xorg drivers
[13:47] <actionParsnip> Osarius: is it not accessed via web browser?
[13:47] <BluesKaj> michealPW, not necesarily ..updates / upgrades are there for a reason to fix things
[13:47] <bnwkeys> action: I was trying different drivers, and probably didn't purge a driver before loading a new one...
[13:47] <BluesKaj> anyway , I have to go for a bit ...bbl
[13:47] <Osarius> yes, but only by localhost. If I try to connect from here: http://direct.turbinesoftware.info:8090
[13:47] <llutz> michealPW: "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-bak "  would have solved the most problems i guess
[13:48] <michealPW> Take care, BluesKaj ;)
[13:48] <michealPW> llutz: Not really, no. Already done that 4 times...
[13:48] <actionParsnip> Osarius: so you are using VNC over the internet?
[13:48] <michealPW> llutz: You're right though, it temporarily fixes EVERYTHING... But then within' a day it's all back to broken again.
[13:48] <Osarius> Sort of, but I don't think it's working properly
[13:48] <actionParsnip> Osarius: are you using an SSH tunnel?
[13:48] <Osarius> No
[13:49] <actionParsnip> Osarius: do you realise how massively unsecure that is?
[13:49] <michealPW> llutz: That's why I wanted to purge KDE entirely, all configs and start from the fresh 4.9 with it's default config. Iunno, just hoping for the best at this point :\
[13:49] <llutz> michealPW: i'm using kde since 0.7 (not ubuntu), i never had that much trouble with it
[13:49] <Osarius> action: I've not come for security lectures.
[13:50] <actionParsnip> Osarius: I suggest you port forward port 8090 in your router to the system and you will get access. All I can suggest is try a different client, see if it's different
[13:50] <llutz> michealPW: from what i read: i guess you'll break it in 2-4 days too :)
[13:50] <michealPW> llutz: Iunno, probably user-error. The only thing that really changes everysingle time after I rename .kde and start with a new one is a Language pop-up, saying my Languages aren't installed properly and it downloads a whole bunch of internationalization packages... Maybe they're breaking things? I have no idea :\
[13:50] <bnwkeys> Q: How to check the kernel and xorg parts of my video driver?
[13:50] <michealPW> llutz: If that's the case (Hope not LOL!) I'll have no choice but to stay with Unity and GNOME 3, unfortunately. I really like KDE, though :(
[13:51] <actionParsnip> Osarius: its not a lecture btw, its a friendly warning. VNC has zero security so people can snoop your packets and the things you type will be seen as they are sent in cleartext. Nothing more
[13:51] <michealPW> I don't even know why there's multiple language packs installed.. I can only speak English :P
[13:51] <michealPW> (rofl)
[13:51] <michealPW> This system got away from me with my clicking around in Ubuntu Software Center, I guess :\
[13:52] <bnwkeys> Does my question not make sense?
[13:52] <Osarius> There's nothing of interest on my server to be honest. I only do it for lulz.
[13:52] <actionParsnip> Osarius: try remmina
[13:53] <Osarius> Will do, I was using TightVNC before
[13:53] <michealPW> llutz: My main problem with KDE is like I said.. I'll rename my .kde and I'll log-in, everything seems fine.. I log-out. I log-in again and then I can't log-out, shutdown or restart KDE. The buttons do nothing.
[13:53] <Osarius> *vnc4server
[13:53] <michealPW> Typing the qdbus commands into the terminal also do nothing...
[13:53] <lolcats> ubuntu 12.04 work good with ivy bridge ?
[13:54] <Lockscreen> is there any way to gaet a history plugin for apt? just like the history comand for YUM?
[13:54] <LinuxLev> Hi, does Ubuntu have any known issues with working on a laptop and using an external monitor instead of the laptop screen?  Having issues anytime I unplug the power supply to move around, and when I plug it back in i have to reboot for the monitor to be recognized.
[13:54] <jass> hi
[13:54] <actionParsnip> lolcats: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_ivybridge_winlin&num=1
[13:54] <michealPW> if I do qdbus it lists all the services, including KMServer.. If I do qdbus org.kde.ksmserver I see the /KSMServer object... If I do qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer I see all the shutdown, restart and logout functions.. Yet when I do qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout -1 -1 -1 it does not do anything...
[13:54] <jass> few minutes before here I posted my problem
[13:54] <bnwkeys> LinuxLev: I use dual monitor with a laptop lcd, and i can unplug and plug it back in all the time
[13:55] <michealPW> The same is true for shutdown and restart functions. They do nothing... No help I've found on Google works for me.
[13:55] <jass> some asked me to issue a command
[13:55] <michealPW> So.. yea. That's the show-stopper... I get into KDE and I can't log-out, shutdown or restart.
[13:55] <LinuxLev> bnwkeys, I haven't found much on the issue looking around, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there is a slight hardware conflict with the OS and my laptop.
[13:55] <jass> lsb_release -scr
[13:55] <jass> it gives me follwoing o/p
[13:55] <jass> 12.04 precise
[13:56] <bnwkeys> LinuxLev: does turning the monitor on/off in settings help? or it just doesn't show up?
[13:56] <lolcats> actionparsnip so it stinks on 12.04 i see :C
[13:56] <jass> anbody here to help me
[13:56] <actionParsnip> lolcats: no, its just a bit better in Windows, nothing more
[13:57] <actionParsnip> jass: run:  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[13:57] <ranjan> Hi all, is there a perfect centralized authentication system for Ubuntu 12.04 and above which Works and can be implemented without pain and which scales and is reliable.!!!!
[13:57] <actionParsnip> ranjan: ldap
[13:57] <bnwkeys> can somebody point me to a "understanding video drivers, kernel and xorg parts, compatibility, how it works, where they're located, how to reset" nooby guide?  :(
[13:58] <Markus2> How can i install wine-1.2 deb into a seperate prefix, alongside a currently installed wine-1.4 deb?
[13:58] <lolcats> actionparsnip i think 12.04 graphic performance is better or will be becayse of patches being added for steam right?
[13:58] <LinuxLev> bnwkeys, at first it doesn't show up.  If I unplug power supply, I have to do the following: Replug in, reboot because plugging monitor back in doesn't show up, even if I click Detect Displays.  Upon reboot, I login to the OS, then I have to plug in the monitor, sometimes that works.  Others, I have to close the lid, open it a couple times for the monitor to get picked up.
[13:58] <actionParsnip> lolcats: There is no mentin of steam in that link that I can see
[13:58] <lolcats> yes
[13:58] <ranjan> actionParsnip, ldap .... i think ubuntu is not taking care of centralized authentication
[13:59] <lolcats> actionparsnip page 7 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_ivybridge_winlin&num=7
[13:59] <actionParsnip> ranjan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer
[13:59] <bnwkeys> LinuxLev: maybe there is a terminal command you can use to redetect the ports?  or maybe disconnecting power messes up the VGA port on the computer.
[13:59] <hateball> ranjan: setting up openldap + pam_ldap isnt *that* much of a hassle, if that's your fancy
[13:59] <actionParsnip> lolcats: just searched the entire page for the word 'steam', zero matches
[13:59] <jass> hi
[14:00] <bnwkeys> *disclaimer* <-- very ignorant, dunno if I'm any help :P
[14:00] <lolcats> actionparsnip Valve
[14:00] <lolcats> they make steam
[14:00] <LinuxLev> bnwkeys, I've through the same, I've been looking around.  I dont unplug often, just a hassel when I do.  I'm going to keep digging.
[14:00] <actionParsnip> lolcats: it may improve in Quantal, newer driver etc, may help
[14:01] <bnwkeys> LinuxLev: aight, can you maybe point me in the right direction.  I messed up my video drivers and my laptop display stays off now.  I'm trying to understand how to find/manage/purge/reset/check the kernel and xorg parts of my video driver.
[14:01] <ranjan> actionParsnip, hateball, i want to manage more than 500 machines.... have you come across FreeIPA?
[14:01] <actionParsnip> lolcats: the numbers aren't drastically different, so I'm sure it'll be fine
[14:02] <ranjan> actionParsnip, hateball whats your opinion about that?
[14:02] <Lockscreen> is there any way to gaet a history plugin for apt? just like the history comand for YUM?
[14:02] <LinuxLev> bnwkeys, if I come across anything usefull, I'll pass it along if I see you in here.
[14:02] <actionParsnip> ranjan: you can use LDAP to centrally manage authentication like a domain controller in Windows
[14:02] <bnwkeys> thanks
[14:02] <lolcats> actionparsnip thanks
[14:02] <actionParsnip> ranjan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
[14:02] <bnwkeys> How do normal ubuntu users configure their video drivers?  :P
[14:03] <actionParsnip> bnwkeys: its either automagic,or I install nvidia-current then copy in my tried and tested xorg.conf file
[14:03] <bnwkeys> gotcha, makes sense
[14:06] <wujie> 大家好
[14:07] <ThinkT510> !zh | wujie
[14:07] <txdv> yeah
[14:07] <txdv> you do that!
[14:08] <jamesbeebop> Hello all.  I'm on 12.04, and periodically the python process running juju goes to 100% CPU, and I have to kill it.  I've tried googling around, but haven't found anything pointing me in a good direction.
[14:09] <bnwkeys> another nooby question: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" returns "/etc/init.d/gdm: command not found"
[14:09] <bnwkeys> is that a change in syntax from one ubuntu version to another?
[14:10] <deadmund> bnwkeys: it's sudo service <servicename> <start||stop> now
[14:10] <deadmund> bnwkeys: but I don't think gdm is a service (bizarrely)
[14:10] <deadmund> bnwkeys: and most of the time the old /etc/init.d/<servicename> works
[14:10] <bnwkeys> deadmund: thank you, supposedly its for gnome desktop manager?  I'm trying to reconfigure my xorg so I can get my laptop LCD back :(
[14:11] <ThinkT510> bnwkeys: if you are running 12.04 the default is lightdm (not gdm)
[14:11] <bnwkeys> thank you ThinkT510
[14:11] <deadmund> bnwkeys: gdm is the "display manager" really it is only the graphical login screen
[14:11] <deadmund> oh
[14:11] <deadmund> and apparently it's ldm now
[14:11] <bnwkeys> lol
[14:11] <genii-around> bnwkeys: It's sudo service <name> start/stop/restart/etc       for old sysv stuff in /etc/init.d     but sudo start/stop/restart/etc <name> for upstart which is in /etc/init
[14:12] <bnwkeys> ok gonna give this a try, If i'm in a graphical session, and i stop ldm, is that gonna crash?  bout to try it cuz i need to get this stupid LCD working
[14:13] <ThinkT510> bnwkeys: sudo service lightdm stop will stop lightdm and the whole X11 session, so yes you will lose your desktop
[14:13] <michealPW> If your X was started with ldm, it wont crash but it will bring down your X
[14:15] <Osarius> Is there a way of making a Apache2 VHost that points to YaCy?
[14:16] <Ramtron> Is there some sort of task manager for ubuntu?
[14:16] <michealPW> Here's an odd question
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> Ramtron  system monitor
[14:17] <Ramtron> do i gotta install that
[14:17] <michealPW> So.. While I was running apt-get to remove all of the kde apps, I was asked if I wanted to stop kdm to remove it.. I did and it brought down my X, so I used Ctrl+alt+f1 to log-in to another virtual terminal and used /etc/init.d/lightdm start to start lightdm/unity..
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> Ramtron  no
[14:18] <michealPW> Which I did, that's how I'm here... apt-get has been running this whole time, I can see it in ps aux | grep apt and also when I do sudo apt-get check I get a lock error, so it's still removing KDE in th ebackground.
[14:18] <michealPW> How do I bring that apt-get process back under this user's control, like, what if it's prompting for input right now? Wouldn't it just sit there unresponsive forever? :\
[14:19] <Fly> hello
[14:19] <michealPW> :\
[14:19] <cfhowlett> Fly: greetings
[14:20] <Ramtron> Where is the system monitor?
[14:20] <Fly> is there a package (maybe a backport)  mingw-w64-gcc-4.7 (actually I have the 4.6.3 version, and I have to use the c++11 standard)
[14:20] <krux> you can ps -ef in a terminal and see all your running task..
[14:21] <xando> hjçjlijlkjlçkjo
[14:21] <krux> htop ?..
[14:23] <bnwkeys> Well, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" did not solve my problem, my LCD on the laptop still stays black... hmmm...
[14:24] <Belgarath> bnwkeys: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:24] <Belgarath> and restart x
[14:24] <bnwkeys> mk
[14:24] <L3top> bnwkeys: mv it do not rm it
[14:24] <limin> limin@ubuntu:/data/html$ sudo aptitude install unity
[14:24] <limin> The following NEW packages will be installed:

[14:24] <limin> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[14:24] <L3top> bnwkeys: might need something from it
[14:24] <edve> anybody knows about fail2ban?
[14:24] <bnwkeys> mv is also the rename function right?
[14:25] <L3top> in effect bnwkeys... it can be.
[14:25] <limin> who can tell me why?
[14:25] <deadmund> L3top: "it can be" ?  What other CLI rename command is there?
[14:26] <vinicius_arq> i'm using lubuntu... if i use update-manager -d it gives me an update option for ubuntu 12.10, it will install ubuntu 12.10 or lubuntu 12.10?
[14:26] <arunkumar413> hi, i inserted my sd memory card, but ubuntu doesn't detect the sd card in my hp notebook
[14:26] <L3top> it is not limited to renaming... was my point. It actually moves... if you move it to a different name, it effectively renames deadmund.
[14:26] <cfhowlett> vinicius_arq: lubuntu
[14:27] <L3top> you can move it and keep it the same name... ergo... it can be.
[14:27] <vinicius_arq> cfhowlett, tks for that, that is the best way to upgrade a distro?
[14:27] <deadmund> L3top: I understand.
[14:28] <arunkumar413> hi, i inserted my sd memory card, but ubuntu doesn't detect the sd card in my hp notebook. please help
[14:29] <cfhowlett> vinicius_arq: "best", well sure... it depends...It's the recommended way for most users.  That said, I would suggest you NOT upgrade immediately to 12.10  12.04 is a LTS (Long term Support) release supported on the desktop for 5 years.  Unless you REALLY need bleeding edge brand new shiny stuff every 6 months, adopt an LTS only policy.  My $0.02
[14:29] <Scala> Is it possible to display which hidden character is contained in a filename?
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> hidden character?
[14:31] <vinicius_arq> cfhowlett, tks a lot!
[14:32] <Scala> MonkeyDust: Yeah, take a look http://dpaste.com/814735/
[14:32] <michealPW> krux: Ah, using ps -ef I can see both the apt-get process', they're running as root (I used sudo so that makes sense)
[14:33] <L3top> so you have a space at the end of the name Scala?
[14:33] <arunkumar413> hi, seems like my ubuntu has been upgraded to 12.04 LTS. seems like there are no major upgrades.
[14:33] <bnwkeys> and back, so some more info: Both the LCD and Monitor work at login screen, then the LCD on the laptop shuts off after login, and if i resize desktops, both LCD and external monitor turn off and stay off.  Now I'll try removing xorg.conf and using start x, but i'm not sure that i have a xorg.conf, lets see >.>
[14:33] <krux> you can also use top or htop < if it's install and see your running process there.. with htop you can kill them and do other functions with it..
[14:34] <michealPW> hrmm, I don't want to kill them. I want to somehow get control of them again
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> Scala  idd, is funny and strage
[14:34] <michealPW> So that if they need my input I can give it to them, it's purging all the KDE stuff hehe
[14:35] <Scala> It is a space, I don't know why I automatically assumed it was something more complicated
[14:35] <zeprox> does anyone in here got a mbox 2 mini?
[14:35] <dontknow> do you have video tearing on top of the screen with intel hd4000 integrated gpu?
[14:35] <bnwkeys> I don't see an xorg.conf in my X11 folder
[14:37]  * Osarius pours hot flaming lava over Apache2, LAMP, Ubuntu and YaCY
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> bnwkeys  you have to create file, if you really need it
[14:37] <ikonia> Osarius: please stop the pointless stuff
[14:37] <L3top> bnwkeys: Can we backup a bit? What is the gpu we are dealing with? Are you able to ssh into this machine to copy and paste from here to there?
[14:37] <arunkumar413> hi, i inserted my sd memory card, but ubuntu doesn't detect the sd card in my hp notebook. please help
[14:37] <Osarius> First, it was once. Second: I'm having some issues here!
[14:38] <gordonjcp> Osarius: hang on, you're VNCing to a remote server?
[14:38] <Osarius> Not any more.
[14:38] <gordonjcp> Osarius: why not just use ssh?
[14:38] <bnwkeys> MonkeyDust: I don't think I really need it, i just F'ed up my video drivers and my laptop screen freaks out and turns off, that's my problem
[14:38] <gordonjcp> Osarius: servers shouldn't have GUIs...
[14:38] <Osarius> I do use SSH.
[14:38] <L3top> arunkumar413: I assume this is a fat32 sd from a camera or windows?
[14:38] <ikonia> Osarius: don't care how many times it was, hence why I'm asking you not to do it. Osarius if you want help - it's better to explain the problem to get help, rather than make pointless comments
[14:38] <GH0> I am truyinjoin #vmware
[14:38] <BluesKaj> arunkumar413, check nautilus , is it listed there ?
[14:38] <bnwkeys> L3top: dunno what ssh actually is, never used it.  the GPU is Radeon Xpress 200M
[14:38] <GH0> That came out all wrong.
[14:39] <L3top> bnwkeys: did you try and install fglrx?
[14:39] <bnwkeys> i can get you system info if needed,
[14:39] <arunkumar413> L3top, its from a mobile phone
[14:39] <bnwkeys> L3top: yes, I recently did sudo apt-get install fglrx, and that is what began my problem
[14:39] <Osarius> ikonia: I'm finding your comments pointless and demeaning. Please stop. :)
[14:39] <arunkumar413> BluesKaj, no
[14:40] <L3top> bnwkeys: That gpu is completely unsupported by ati and will not work with ati. You will need to run a number of commands to purge and reinstall stuff. One moment and I will pastebin
[14:40] <bnwkeys> after i installed fglrx, i started getting this screen shutting off issue, also tried purging and reinstalling
[14:40] <michealPW> I guess I just have to wait and give those two apt-get process' time to finish on their own.
[14:41] <GH0> I am trying to have Ubuntu use my nvidia card in the xconfig, I have ran the nvidia-xconfig tool as sudo, and restarted kdm, lightdm, and all the other required services, shutdown all vnc sessions, and then restarted them. However, after doing so, I still do not have the ability to view any settings on the nvidia card in question. I am trying to do this over a VNC session.
[14:42] <L3top> bnwkeys: http://pastebin.com/PhUkGBeY
[14:42] <bnwkeys> L3top: thanks for the help and saving my day, gonna copy that and try now
[14:42] <L3top> bnwkeys: you will want to do it line by line, not just a dump
[14:42] <dr_willis> GH0:  so nvidia-settings works locally? but not over vnc you mean?
[14:42] <bnwkeys> gotcha
[14:44] <jiffe98> how come I have an ubuntu machine running 3.2.0-29 kernel and another running 3.2.0-31 kernel and both think they're up to date?
[14:44] <dontknow> anyone here using intel ivy bridge integrated graphics?
[14:44] <ThinkT510> jiffe98: different mirrors?
[14:45] <L3top> jiffe98: for kernel changes you need to dist-upgrade not just upgrade.
[14:45] <jiffe98> the later is a 12.04.1 install and the other is a 12.04 install
[14:45] <dr_willis> jiffe98:  try a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' perhaps
[14:45] <jiffe98> L3top: I did do a dist-upgrade
[14:45] <dr_willis> kernels can get 'held'
[14:45] <dontknow> i am experiencing video tearing on top of the screen with intel integrated gpu, how to fix this issue?
[14:45] <bnwkeys> speaking of intel ivy bridge, saw a video of AMD APU compys with Nitro cooling, cranking out a cool 7.08 GHz
[14:46] <L3top> dontknow: what is the output of lsb_release -sc
[14:46] <dontknow> L3top, 12.04 x64 precise
[14:46] <GH0> dr_willis, I haven't been able to test locally yet. don't have a mouse on the actual machine right now.
[14:47] <dontknow> L3top, will you help me?
[14:47] <L3top> You might try the ppa:glasen/intel-driver dontknow.
[14:47] <jiffe98> yeah, copying over source.list from the newer to the older didn't change anything
[14:47] <jiffe98> hmm
[14:47] <dr_willis> GH0:  unity has some numpad-mouse feature i recall
[14:47] <K1rk> I want to modify the default "open with" application for all users globally for a specific filetype (.tst files)  How can I do this using update-alternatives?
[14:48] <OerHeks> L3top, is glasen/intel-driver better than x-swat ppa ?
[14:48]  * L3top seems to remember you had to do a do-release-upgrade to move to a point release... but that could be wrong.
[14:48] <GH0> dr_willis, yes, it does appear to work locally.
[14:48] <dontknow> L3top, i am using switchable amd gpu + intel gpu and set them switchable correcly. if i install latest intel driver will hybrid switchable system work again?
[14:48] <GH0> I am not sure if there is something I need to add to my vncserver settings to have it use the GPU, because my intent is to get VMWare 3D Acceleration working.
[14:49] <L3top> OerHeks: I could not say... I deal with lucid, and use the glasen with some success using the glasen over xswat after using backported oneiric kernel... so my experience is not exactly standard.
[14:49] <dr_willis> GH0:  having vncserver 'use the gpu' seems a weird statement. since i dont think it really uses the gpus special dreivers
[14:49] <OerHeks> L3top, clear, thanks.
[14:50] <ikonia> GH0: so let me get this straight, you want to have hardware acceleration in a vm, and then connect to that vm and have hardware acceleration over VNC ?
[14:50] <dr_willis> vmware has its own 'remote viewer' of vmware sessions i thought
[14:50] <bubu\a> Hi guys, ubuntu 10.04 server I want to put in http_proxy  into a user env. Where is best place to do this? ~/.bashrc ?
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> bubu\a  betters ask in #ubuntu-server
[14:51] <GH0> ikonia, no, I want 3D Acceleration over VNC, primarily. VMware is more of just a product of getting 3D Acceleration first.
[14:51] <bubu\a> ya
[14:51] <bubu\a> ta*
[14:52] <dr_willis> i dident think vnc did 3d accell.
[14:52] <bkfitz> Having trouble with indicator-applet... can someone help me
[14:52] <Markus2> How can i install wine-1.2 deb into a seperate prefix, alongside a currently installed wine-1.4 deb?
[14:52] <bkfitz> don't know how to add/remove items from it
[14:53] <dr_willis> bkfitz: using what desktop?
[14:54] <dr_willis> and what items..
[14:54] <GH0> I figured that this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualGL ) would allow it, but I guess it needs to be incorporated into the VNC server first
[14:55] <bkfitz> 12.10 beta 2 'classic' gnome2
[14:55] <bkfitz> I know I know +1
[14:55] <bkfitz> but should be the same in 12.04
[14:55] <Guest62289> hii
[14:55] <Guest62289> aareee
[14:55] <dr_willis> bkfitz: classic has some  super.alt.shift.right click combo i recall..
[14:56] <bkfitz> yeah i can remove the entire 'indicator applet complete' from the bar, but can't seem to figure out how to add any new applets
[14:56] <bkfitz> shutterscreen etc
[14:57] <dr_willis> just run them i thought.. i dont use classic
[14:57] <bkfitz> super+alt+rightclick allows me to add/remove things from bar, but all I see is add 'indicator applet complete'
[14:58] <L3top> dontknow: are you using vga switcheroo?
[15:00] <bnwkeys> L3top!
[15:01] <bnwkeys> You fixed it for me, I have both screens back now!  Thank you SO much. :D
[15:01] <L3top> np :)
[15:01] <michealPW> Is it possible to change the tty a running process is using?
[15:02] <jrib> michealPW: can you be more specific?
[15:02] <dr_willis> michealPW: using screen or tmux or byobu would make that easy.
[15:02] <jrib> step 1) build time machine ... :)
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> byobu conflicts with my tty screens, i stopped using it
[15:03] <michealPW> Well, I have two apt-get process' started and I can see them in ps -ef, listed with TTY "?" and I want to change their TTY to tty/2 so I can interact with them :\
[15:03] <michealPW> Is that possible or no?
[15:03] <michealPW> Ah, screen, tmux or byobu ehh? Let me read their manuals thx dr_willis :)
[15:04] <juniour> hi
[15:04] <actionParsnip> michealPW: retty may do it
[15:04] <dr_willis> !byobu
[15:04] <actionParsnip> !info retty 
[15:04] <Evildoer> on.net
[15:05] <solo|work> Hey folks, having an issue with nautilus. After I installed python2, nautilus stopped launching with this message: http://pastebin.com/CJbKDyyd. I can get nautilus to launch properly by removing the rabbitvcs-nautilus3 package and killing/starting nautilus again, but that extension is really nice to have. It worked properly for several months until I installed python2. Any idea why the gobject module wouldn't be able to load? Am I missing a package? Or c
[15:05] <michealPW> Ohh yes retty sounds exactly what I want perhaps
[15:05] <jrib> michealPW: reptyr is similar to retty
[15:06] <bep_> bep
[15:06] <michealPW> crap can't install retty 'cause those orphaned (Is that the right word in this context?) apt-get process' have locks :(
[15:06] <michealPW> LOL!
[15:07] <actionParsnip> michealPW: well thats not frustrating
[15:07] <actionParsnip> michealPW: let the apt process finish
[15:07] <michealPW> Righto, I'll just keep waiting :P
[15:07] <michealPW> Hopefully they just finish without any input haha
[15:08] <dr_willis> unless its hung.. ;-)
[15:09] <ikonia> GH0: sorry I was away for a moment
[15:09] <actionParsnip> hope now
[15:09] <actionParsnip> not*
[15:09] <GH0> ikonia, no worries.
[15:09] <ikonia> GH0: the host your trying to get 3d acceleration on, is it a physical machine or a virtual machine
[15:09] <XiaolinDraconis> !info cake
[15:09] <michealPW> LOL dr_willis don't say that! :(
[15:09] <XiaolinDraconis> !!!
[15:09] <nibbler_> the cake is a lie
[15:09] <GH0> At the current moment, if I run the vncserver on x11 or :0, I have 3D Acceleration, however, if I run it on session :1 or :2, I am not able to get 3d Acceleration.
[15:10] <michealPW> It might have, Iunno.
[15:10] <michealPW> Actually, lets see..
[15:10] <actionParsnip> !find cake
[15:10] <ikonia> GH0: is it a physical machine or a virtual machine
[15:10] <XiaolinDraconis> oh thank god, its not a lie
[15:10] <GH0> Physical machine
[15:10] <Scunizi> I've come across a website that needs java and apparently it's not installed.  What package do I install?
[15:11] <ikonia> GH0: great, I wasn't sure with you referencing vmware tools
[15:11] <jrib> !java | Scunizi
[15:11] <ikonia> GH0: so you're only getting acceleration on display :)
[15:11] <ikonia> display :0
[15:11] <compdoc> GH0, do you have qemu-kvm installed?
[15:11] <GH0> http://pastebin.com/iuYp5EkE
[15:11] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[15:11] <GH0> IS ther glxinfo for display:0 physical, and and display :1 is a vncserver session.
[15:11] <GH0> compdoc, no, I don't believe so.
[15:11] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: lots easy :)
[15:11] <Scunizi> actionParsnip: thanks!
[15:11] <compdoc> GH0, ok. KVM uses vnc too, and there can be conflicts
[15:12] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: 3 commands, easier than windows :D
[15:12] <ikonia> GH0: ahh nvidia
[15:12] <ikonia> GH0: is that the propriatary driver ?
[15:12] <GH0> Or... it didn't decide to paste in the pastebin.
[15:12] <GH0> Right now it is, as I didn't know if the option would work with noveau
[15:12] <GH0> Probably spelled that wrong too.
[15:13] <ikonia> GH0: there are pretty big limitations with the propitary one
[15:13] <michealPW> According to ps, the one process' cpu% stays at 0.1% :(
[15:13] <michealPW> That's not a good sign
[15:13] <ikonia> GH0: it only accelerations :0 - hence why xinerama can be a problem and people end up using twinview
[15:13] <michealPW> I guess I'll have to kill them and try to run apt-get again? :\
[15:13] <K1rk> I'm having some trouble changing the default Open With action for files, I need a global way to do this for all users, preferably by running a command or changing a file.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12300514  Any input?
[15:13] <PeralHarbour> Hello
[15:13] <PeralHarbour> I installed a program in ubuntu
[15:14] <juniour> hi
[15:14] <GH0> ikonia, so there is no possible way to accelerate other displays?
[15:14] <PeralHarbour> I need to know where it is stored
[15:14] <GH0> There is the VNC Server session http://pastebin.com/1TLpH5LG
[15:14] <PeralHarbour> can anyone help me ?
[15:14] <OerHeks> PeralHarbour, locate <name>
[15:14] <cakeboss> Hey all. I am trying to install Requests for python. I can't seem to find a dl link that works; can anyone help me resolve this? http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
[15:15] <ikonia> GH0: I don't think there is with the nvidia module, but I wouldn't be my life on it
[15:15] <k1l_> PeralHarbour: depends on which programm and how was it installed. btw: why you need the location? regular users dont need that
[15:15] <PeralHarbour> prince_8.1-3_ubuntu12.04_i386.deb
[15:15] <PeralHarbour> I used the Software Center
[15:15] <juniour> locate <name> or find / -name "pattern" -print
[15:16] <PeralHarbour> How ?
[15:16] <L3top> PeralHarbour: are you looking for the deb? or the actual installed program?
[15:16] <juniour> PeralHarbour locate <name> or find / -name "pattern" -print
[15:16] <PeralHarbour> the actual installed...
[15:16] <k1l_> PeralHarbour: why didnt you use the softwarecenter to install it from the official repos?
[15:16] <L3top> PeralHarbour: locate prince
[15:16] <PeralHarbour> ok
[15:17] <PeralHarbour> I am new into linux/ubuntu
[15:17] <PeralHarbour> you see :)
[15:17] <actionParsnip> L3top: PeralHarbour:  run:  sudo updatedb   if you want to use locate :)
[15:17] <Scunizi> actionParsnip: ok it's easy but I haven't done it yet.. when installing freemind it wants to install the icetea jre .. then there's the openjre and of course Oracle's.  If I install Oracle's will freemind no longer depend on icetea?
[15:17] <k1l_> PeralHarbour: on ubuntu you dont load anything from the websides. you use the packages system and get your stuff from ubuntu
[15:17]  * L3top always learns new things here... thanks actionParsnip
[15:17] <bkfitz> Question: anyone know how to add something or remove something from the indicator applet in 12.04 classic?
[15:18] <L3top> k1l_: <PeralHarbour> I used the Software Center
[15:18] <ItsAllGoneWierd> A quick question: do you change anything permanently with CCSM? Say if i install it and make the panel transparent and delete CCSM, the panel is still transparent. But if I change it back to normal and delete CCSM, is the system then the same as before installing CCSM? Or has something changed permanently?
[15:18] <k1l_> L3top: yep, he installed a .deb with it
[15:18] <ItsAllGoneWierd> Was not very clear that.. lol
[15:19] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: it will still depend as it is set in the deb file itself to depend on the icetea jre, however it will use /usr/bin/java which is a symlink to the selected java you desire
[15:19] <k1l_> L3top: softwarecenter doesnt mean its from the repos as its loaded when clocking on .debs, too
[15:19] <here_1> 可以讲中文吗？
[15:19] <OerHeks> PeralHarbour, open dash ( top icon on your unity-panel) and type prince ?
[15:19] <Abin> join #kernel
[15:19] <cfhowlett> !zh|here_1:
[15:20] <Scunizi> actionParsnip: and if I have the icetea version already installed, will installing Oracles version "disconnect" icetea and become the dominant player?
[15:21] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: you can run a command to switch between javas as you wish, if you install the Oracle one after the icetea one, it will mark itself as the active java
[15:21] <michealPW> actionParsnip: Hey mate, what was that apt-get command to remove all kde again?
[15:21] <dr_willis> ItsAllGoneWierd:  ccsm just changes your settings
[15:21] <Scunizi> actionParsnip: what's the command?
[15:21] <dr_willis> ItsAllGoneWierd: so its your setting files that get changed.
[15:21] <actionParsnip> michealPW: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | awk {'print $2'} | grep kde`
[15:21] <michealPW> I killed all those sleeping process' and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a and then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get check
[15:21] <ItsAllGoneWierd> dr_willis, ubuntu is using compiz, right? as default for effects
[15:21] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: let me search
[15:21] <solo|work> Any thoughts on how to resolve http://pastebin.com/CJbKDyyd ?
[15:22] <michealPW> actionParsnip: Thx mate:)
[15:22] <dr_willis> ItsAllGoneWierd: unuty 3d is a compiz plugin  so yes
[15:23] <_cronus_> solo|work, try installing python-gi
[15:24] <SixThousandOwls> You learn so much by lurking in this room. D;
[15:24] <SixThousandOwls> It's awesome.
[15:24] <actionParsnip> Scunizi: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[15:24] <solo|work> _cronus_: apt-get auto selects python-gobject instead, already installed though
[15:24] <ItsAllGoneWierd> dr_willis, ok thanks alot! im kind of nervous using ccsm, cus of all the warnings online.. but the default panel is ugly and who does'nt love wobbly windows? :D
[15:24] <Scunizi> actionParsnip: thanks :)
[15:25] <dr_willis> i hate wobbly windows. and the cube and useless effects
[15:25] <ThinkT510> ItsAllGoneWierd: ccsm can break unity, use with caution
[15:25] <_cronus_> solo|work, which release are you using?
[15:25] <michealPW> I agree, dr_willis. At first it was pretty neat but it quickly got distracting and silly :\
[15:25] <dr_willis> the 'zoom' features of compiz are handy
[15:26] <actionParsnip> dr_willis: yeah I disable the animations plugin as well as grid :)
[15:26] <michealPW> There's a lot about compiz that's really handy and nice, to be fair. A lot of sillyness, too :)
[15:26] <solo|work> _cronus_: Oneric, 11.10.
[15:27] <dr_willis> writeing in flames on the desktop.... is amuseing
[15:27] <Guest65189> hello, where can i find official picture of Ubuntu ?
[15:27] <michealPW> Long before GNOME 3, Compiz had a plugin I think it was expose? Iunno, I can't remember. But it basically exploded your desktop out into a zoomed-out view with all your windows tiled for you to select
[15:27] <Guest65189> hello, where can i find official picture of Ubuntu ?
[15:28] <michealPW> It was really nice for quickly finding/switching windows in a cluttered workspace :)
[15:28] <michealPW> Which is generally how my workspaces are hehe
[15:28] <solo|work> I installed Python 2.7.3 from source last week
[15:28] <Guest65189> hello, where can i find official picture of Ubuntu ?
[15:29] <actionParsnip> in CCSM, what is the image loading plugin for?
[15:29] <jrib> !art | Guest65189
[15:29]  * dr_willis wonders what an 'official picture' means
[15:29] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: how do you mean 'picture'
[15:29] <jrib> Guest65189: try that artwork link
[15:29] <k1l_> PeralHarbour: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[15:29] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: do you mean the default wallpaper?
[15:30] <michealPW> It's a low-level plugin I think. When I was using Debian 6.0.5 with GNOME 2.30, I replaced Metacity with Compiz and it was all stripped down and wasn't showing picture previews
[15:30] <ItsAllGoneWierd> ThinkT510, thx i am.. there is some info online, so i am careful and try to read on what works and what does not :) tnx for answers all of you
[15:30] <jiffe98> with tcpdump is it possible to increase the number of characters printed per line when printing the hex/ascii info too?
[15:30] <michealPW> Until I enabled all those low-level plugins like d-bus and jpeg and that stuff hehe
[15:30] <michealPW> Then I had a functional window manager with all the pretty jazz
[15:30] <Guest65189> actionParsnip: yes, for exemple, or logo
[15:31] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: the ubuntu-artwork package has the wallpapers in as far as I know, a web image search wil bring up the images you want easily
[15:31] <Guest65189> ubottu: no themes but for exemple the 12.10 official logo
[15:31] <michealPW> Rokey dokey, now.. I've completely removed KDE from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. What is the recommended method to install the new KDE 4.9 ?
[15:31] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: http://www.ashwinraon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Ubuntu-12.04-LTS-Default-Wallpaper.jpg
[15:32] <Guest65189> actionParsnip: there is no official picture in the website of ubuntu ?
[15:32] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: http://www.latesttechnonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Ubuntu-Logo.jpg
[15:33] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: those are the Precise default wallpaper and the Ubuntu logo....
[15:34] <bkfitz> Anyone know of a caps lock indicator that will work with 12.04 classic?
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> bkfitz  i use classic, what do you mean exactly?
[15:34] <bkfitz> Well... my schweeeet new lenovo x1 carbon does not have a caps-lock indicator
[15:35] <actionParsnip> Guest65189: there is the Quantal default wallpaper: http://i.imgur.com/GD3w6.jpg
[15:35] <bkfitz> so i'm looking for a software one
[15:35] <bkfitz> i'm actually running 12.10 beta 2, but figure anything that will work with gnome 2 should be fine
[15:35] <bkfitz> indicator applet etc
[15:35] <k1l_> bkfitz: classic gnome is not a real gnome2 iirc. so there is alot that doesnt work
[15:36] <bkfitz> oh ok
[15:36] <solo|work> _cronus_: Apparently I did a source install of py2.7 over the existing ubuntu package...so I guess I'm going to start by cleaning that up. Thanks :)
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> bkfitz  classic is gnome3 that looks like gnome2
[15:36] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: Quantal is offtopic here, please ask in #ubuntu+1

[15:37] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: once it is released, it will be supported here
[15:37] <cha0s_> can anyone help me with my 12.04 my update manager won't work. ubuntu software center wont work. i get this error from update manager
[15:37] <cha0s_> 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_multiverse_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
[15:38] <bkfitz> actionParsnip... i understand, but my question is not specific to the new 12.10... just looking for an indicator app for classic...
[15:38] <actionParsnip> cha0s_: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[15:38] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: it is, as you are using 12.10
[15:39] <cha0s_> actionParsnip: Thank you
[15:39] <bkfitz> actionParsnip: I actually have several machines... one of which is 12.04 classic... I'm looking for that one.
[15:39] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: I have a PPA for Precise for an idicator
[15:39] <cha0s_> actionParsnip: link you gave is broken
[15:39] <bkfitz> actionParsnip: excellent
[15:39] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/indicator-keylock-ubuntu/
[15:40] <g105b> how many hours until release of 12.10 ?
[15:40] <actionParsnip> cha0s_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285246/   run those line by line, skip the top line :)
[15:40] <actionParsnip> g105b: ask in #ubuntu+1
[15:40] <compdoc> g105b, this many: |------------------------------------------|
[15:40] <cha0s_> actionParsnip: Thank you again
[15:40] <actionParsnip> g105b: twice as long, as half the time it is until it is released ;)
[15:41] <bkfitz> actionParsnip: cool... I'll try that on my 12.04 box.  Will it show up by default in the 'indicator applet complete'?
[15:42] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: yes, it should show as the screenshots show
[15:44] <bkfitz> actionParsnip: 10-4... I'll ask about 12.10 over in +1 as I doubt it will work on my new machine...
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> bkfitz  or ask again here, tomorrow :)
[15:45] <bobmannn> A
[15:46] <actionParsnip> bkfitz: no, as the PPA doesn't support Quantal
[15:47] <bkfitz> MonkeyDust: right :)
[15:50] <agoodm> hi, in ununtu 12.10 how do I disable the blurring of the backround in the unity panel? I managed it on 12.04 and I need to do it again because the blur lags my (core i7!) laptop...
[15:50] <crizis^> agoodm, myunity can do that iirc
[15:50] <agoodm> my unity isnt available for 12.10; thats how I did it in 12.04
[15:52] <actionParsnip> agoodm: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Quantal support, it isn't supported here til released

[15:54] <ashwin18> Hi. I've screwed up my bootloader by deleting the ubuntu partition and using bootsect under windows. Now i'm getting a 'invalid partition' and a 'grub rescue' prompt at startup. I need to boot into windows 7 again.
[15:54] <actionParsnip> cha0s_: use a pastebin for multiple lines please
[15:55] <cha0s_> actionParsnip. Sorry \
[15:55] <agoodm> ashwin use a windows 7 cd or dvd or flash pen to complete a startup repair
[15:55] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: you can boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed OS and fix grub
[15:55] <actionParsnip> cha0s_: LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=55165824 && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:56] <ashwin18> actionParsnip. thanks, but my optical drive doesnt work. I installed ubuntu using a flash drive, but that's empty now since I have the iso file on my hard drive. Is there a way to simply 'remove' grub and let bootmgr do it's thing?
[15:57] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: you can use a liveUSB too, its the same difference.
[15:58] <actionParsnip> oh well
[15:59] <ashwin18> Hi, I'm back. I still need to fix my grub
[15:59] <varikonniemi> what decides if the ons skreen kbd is shown when logged out?
[16:00] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: you can use a liveUSB too, its the same difference.
[16:00] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, I dont have the image, and I can't download it atm since I'm using a public computer
[16:00] <ashwin18> I mean the ISO image, to put on the liveusb
[16:01] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: how did you install Ubuntu? Did you use Wubi?
[16:02] <ashwin18> actionParsnip: I downloaded the iso from the official site, used something from pendrivelinux.com to put it on the flash drive, booted from the flash drive, started the live version, ran the setup, and selected the first option which said 'keep windows 7 and install ubuntu side by side' (i'm paraphrasing)
[16:02] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: thats cool, you are understood :)
[16:02] <ashwin18> actionParsnip: thanks :)
[16:02] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: do you have your windows CD?
[16:03] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, no, just an image on the hard drive :sigh:
[16:04] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: you will need some kind of extra media to boot to and put some kind of bootloader on the system
[16:04] <ashwin18> actionPArsnip, I have a flash drive
[16:04] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, I just need to download something small (upto 50 Megs maybe?) that I can put on the flash drive and fix this
[16:05] <Chaterz> actionParsnip, u there?
[16:05] <Chaterz> still no sound
[16:05] <Chaterz> after reboot
[16:05] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: you may find puppy has the chroot command on it
[16:05] <actionParsnip> Chaterz: even with the other line I gave?
[16:06] <Chaterz> just the first lines
[16:06] <Chaterz> i did reboot and icant copied
[16:06] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, thanks, but it's too big to download atm. If nothing else works I can try it later, but are there any other smaller ones.
[16:06] <ashwin18> does Damn Small Linux have chroot?
[16:06] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: tinycore is about 12Mb
[16:07] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, awesome. I assume it has chroot?
[16:07] <actionParsnip> ashwin18: not sure, could ask in their channel
[16:07] <ashwin18> actionParsnip, will do. Can you tell me how to actually use chroot?

[16:35] <CSax> I was playing Savage 2 in ubuntu
[16:35] <CSax> and my screen began to see only black
[16:35] <wilee-nilee> simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily)
[16:36] <shawm> any have drive intel centrino?
[16:36] <dury> hi there all .-)
[16:36] <CSax> I was playing savage2 in ubuntu and I dont know why, like bluescreen in windows, but in black, I had to restar my PC, but 5 minutes after, happened again
[16:36] <genii-around> CSax: Their website states currently "The system broke down on its own a few hours ago."
[16:37] <CSax> I mean all ubuntu
[16:37] <CSax> not savage
[16:38] <CSax> I saw only black in screen, as if unplug the cable
[16:38] <theadmin> CSax: Were the keyboard lights flashing?
[16:38] <theadmin> CSax: (caps/num/scroll lights)
[16:38] <javaJake> CSax: black screen could be anything, so it's best to give as many clues as possible. Are you able to see a cursor?
[16:38] <riex> Hello, can someone tell me, what i can do, if i add a new user in my phpmyadmin, with host as %, if i do that - then the user cannot login, but if i add the new user with localhost, he can login, but not when i use %, what is the problem? :-p
[16:38] <genii-around> all 3 together on and off means kernel crash
[16:38] <wilee-nilee> shawm, The channel works as state your problem in the form of a question, not polling for someone who uses specific hardware.
[16:38] <CSax> Are you able to see a cursor? no
[16:39] <CSax> and I dont remember that theadmin
[16:39] <CSax> If it happs again I will look
[16:39] <theadmin> CSax: Okay, well... I think of two possible reasons: 1) kernel panic -- if so, the flashing will happen. 2) X crashes. If so, it should be a fairly simple fix of "sudo service lightdm restart" from a tty
[16:40] <CSax> Im going to play again, if happs I will join here again, and tell you what happened exactly
[16:40] <dury> to extract the audio from .mp4 file was easy with ffmpeg in 11.04 to .mp3 but 12.04.1 it's no longer. have to be avconv
[16:40] <javaJake> CSax: if you know how, the Xorg.log.0, Xorg.log.1, and xsession log files will be useful.
[16:40] <riex> Hello, can someone tell me, what i can do, if i add a new user in my phpmyadmin, with host as %, if i do that - then the user cannot login, but if i add the new user with localhost, he can login, but not when i use %, what is the problem? :-p
[16:40] <javaJake> CSax: if you know how to post them*
[16:40] <genii-around> CSax: If the three keyboard lights are not blinking on-off then to try ctrl-alt-f1 and issue the command theadmin gave
[16:41] <CSax> I don't know xD
[16:41] <dury> I'm not able to do that using avconv can anyone assist me please
[16:41] <theadmin> dury: You don't *have* to use avconv, ffmpeg is still available and works.
[16:42] <theadmin> dury: it might be removed "sometime"... maybe in like 5-10 years is what that usually means ;)
[16:43] <dury> theadmin: could you please drive to do it using ffmpeg please
[16:43] <profiler1982>  /msg NickServ identify <desantis>.
[16:43] <theadmin> dury: Just do it the same way you did before? I dunno. I'd personally use winff -- a nice gui to ffmpeg, it's extremely easy with it
[16:43] <theadmin> profiler1982: Change your password now.
[16:43] <profiler1982> ok
[16:43] <theadmin> profiler1982: And identify in service windows the next time :/
[16:44] <theadmin> s/ice/er/
[16:44] <dury> theadmin: winff in 12.04 does it work correctly
[16:44] <javaJake> CSax: use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Pastebin to post your log files. You'll find the Xorg.log.0 and .1 files in /var/log, and the xsession log file is hidden in the home folder (the one named after you). You can use the "Show Hidden Files" menu option when you're in your home folder to see it.
[16:44] <theadmin> dury: Oh, it doesn't? Do you have libavcodec-extra-{52,53} installed?
[16:45] <dury> theadmin: how do I check that
[16:45] <theadmin> dury: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-{52,53} :P
[16:45] <javaJake> CSax: if you don't know how to find /var/log: open a file browser, and select "Computer" on the left side. You should find the var folder, and then inside that, the log folder.
[16:45] <dury> theadmin: with those brakets?
[16:46] <theadmin> dury: Yeah -- that's a little trick of bash -- it evaluates to this in the end: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-52 libavcodex-extra-53
[16:46] <theadmin> err, codec, not codex
[16:46] <orated> Hi! Is it right to have /media/ mount point for various partitions of external HDD in fstab? Instead of /media/folder_name etc
[16:46] <dury> theadmin: all right
[16:48] <javaJake> orated: as far as I understand, /mnt/ is better for partitions mounted in fstab, and /media/ left for drives you might plug in after your computer is already on.
[16:49] <dury> theadmin: Reading package lists... Done
[16:49] <dury> Building dependency tree
[16:49] <dury> Reading state information... Done
[16:49] <dury> Package libavcodec-extra-52 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[16:49] <dury> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[16:49] <dury> is only available from another source
[16:49] <FloodBot1> dury: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:49] <theadmin> javaJake: That's not exactly right -- FHS defines "/mnt" as a "generic mountpoint", basically a folder to quickly and dirtyly mount something, do something, and unmount again
[16:49] <theadmin> dury: Hm... Same here. Never mind, then no idea
[16:49] <javaJake> theadmin: thanks for the clarification
[16:50] <akis> is there any possibility to move (down) unity launch bar?
[16:50] <theadmin> akis: MyUnity has such a feature -- that's in the software center/repositories
[16:51] <orated> javaJake: Well, in either case fstab requires to have complete address for mount point. I see that when I mount a partition from external HDD it mounts as /media/(UUID) - so instead of typing the whole path for each partitions, I'd like to have it auto so that it mounts as it normally would
[16:51] <akis> theadmin: does it work in 12.04?
[16:51] <dury> theadmin: how do I installed the packages you mentioned, then?
[16:51] <theadmin> akis: Sure
[16:52] <theadmin> dury: Um... I dunno. I guess ffmpeg *is* broken :( And since I never used either ffmpeg or avconv, I don't think I can help you much further. Sorry, wait for someone who does know
[16:53] <seven> hi
[16:53] <brontosaurusrex_> dury, perhaps try #ffmpeg
[16:53] <seven> ?
[16:54] <dury> right thanks indeed
[16:54] <brontosaurusrex_> dury, (they usually recommend to use latest version from git btw)
[16:54] <akis> theadmin: hmm. i am reading reviews for this application and i am wondering how safe and stable could be.
[16:54] <mgharish> Hello.. Does anyone know the default path of the file which will have the words added through "Add word to dictionary" when a spell check reports error?
[16:54] <theadmin> akis: It's not officially supported by Canonical, but other than that it should work fine.
[16:56] <theadmin> akis: Don't worry, it's easy to reset Unity settings: unity --reset
[16:56] <akis> i saw that is not officially supported. i am wondering if it could harm my system.
[16:57] <theadmin> akis: Nothing can really harm the system as long as it doesn't have root access. Also, nothing in the repos ever will harm the system. Canonical checks all the official packages for insecurities, for sure
[16:58] <akis> ok. does it have option to move the launch bar?
[17:01] <theadmin> akis: I *think* it does.
[17:01] <DX099> hello, can someone give me a hint on why my bios would only boot Live USB created under Windows ? sometimes, the sticks created by the same program will not boot with the Linux version (UnetBootin)... I never managed to get a Live USB generated a linux software to work with my computer, when it always does with Windows...
[17:01] <theadmin> akis: Sorry, I'm a KDE person so I don't remember that stuff too well
[17:01] <akis> theadmin: here i don't read that it has this option! http://maketecheasier.com/tweak-ubuntu-unity-desktop-with-myunity/2011/12/22
[17:02] <theadmin> DX099: That's because you're overdoing it ;) isohybrid something.iso ; sudo dd if=something.iso of=/dev/sdz (where sdz is your USB stick. Also note that it's sdz, not sdz1)
[17:02] <DX099> theadmin, never heard of that "isohybrid" thing but just the name sounds like a solution to me...
[17:03] <DX099> theadmin, i'm downloading 12.10 daily right now, i'll test it right away
[17:03] <theadmin> DX099: The "isohybrid" part is actually unnecessary with most modern distributions, they provide hybrid ISOs already.
[17:03] <theadmin> DX099: So you won't need it with Ubuntu 12.04 and up
[17:03] <theadmin> DX099: So just the dd bit
[17:04] <DX099> ok
[17:05] <theadmin> DX099: It doesn't hurt anything if you do the isohybrid, though, but just saying
[17:05] <DX099> theadmin, in case the regular dd thing won't work, I'll try it
[17:05] <theadmin> DX099: It works with 12.04, I tested it, um, a week ago.
[17:06] <akis> theadmin: actually kde and xcfe are more customizable. but i am bored of kde after 5 years with it. so i am trying gnome/unity and xcfe too.
[17:06] <theadmin> DX099: Dunno about 12.10, but if any logic works then it should
[17:06] <DX099> theadmin, ok
[17:07] <nhck> Hi. I have the following problem: 10.04LTS won't mount usb anymore, won't connect to the wlan and in gnome the shutdown/logoff button is in disabled state (greyish) - what to do?
[17:08] <theadmin> nhck: Did you remove PolicyKit by any chance?
[17:10] <uw> so, for the file browser i've switched to display the "location" instead of those little buttons for each directory level.  However, there is no "up" button now.   is there a way to get ".." to appear on the file browser?
[17:10] <uw> so i can move up the directories?
[17:10] <maveze>  hi, when is the new GStreamerSDK will be uploaded to Ubuntu repositories?
[17:10] <nhck> theadmin: not that I know of, but there was an update 2 days ago
[17:11] <theadmin> maveze: Ubuntu versioning mostly does not allow the "new" software in various releases, versions are "frozen" apart from select applications and important security fixes
[17:11] <ferronica> how to change mouse pointer speed in ubuntu 12.04 64bit using Xorg
[17:12] <theadmin> ferronica: I think there used to be a slider in the mouse settings
[17:13] <ferronica> theadmin: i know but not good enough to change pointer speed according to my use
[17:13] <ferronica> theadmin: Its too Fast to move and control pointer not feeling like usable
[17:14] <nhck> theadmin: I did 'apt-cache show policykit-1-gnome' ... but I cannot figure out if it is really installed?
[17:15] <ferronica> theadmin: can you assist me how to setup
[17:15] <theadmin> nhck: An easier way to figure that out is "dpkg -l policykit-1-gnome" -- if it returns the packagename, it is installed. If not, it's not.
[17:16] <michealPW> Yay
[17:16] <ferronica> How to change mouse pointer speed in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[17:16] <michealPW> Seems to be all working fine with KDE 4.9:)
[17:16] <theadmin> !patience | ferronica
[17:17] <nhck> theadmin: So it seems it is installed. It says 'ii policykit-1-gone 0.96-2ubuntu2...'
[17:17] <theadmin> ...gone?
[17:17] <theadmin> I hope you mean gnome
[17:17] <theadmin> "gone" doesn't sound good in any way
[17:17] <nhck> ;-)

[17:18] <bjrohan> as it says I have no Java
[17:18] <nhck> of course gnome.. this little beast doesn't have an internet connection anymore.. so manually copying it.

[17:22] <maveze> theadmin, from what i understand, the gstreamerSDK is going to be the only possible way to develop an application using gstreamer libs.
[17:22] <theadmin> maveze: Well. If you totally *need* an updated version, try looking for a PPA. That's all I can say.
[17:24] <nhck> theadmin: dbus had iU .. so it seems the machine might have been shutdown during an update? i am running dpkg --configure --pending and we'll see

[17:28] <nhck> theadmin: I enjoy how robust this system can be - what would windows say in the middle of a kernel update? Thank you. If it wasn't for guys like you ubuntu would be only half the fun.
[17:29] <genii-around> bwlang: Does: apt-config dump| grep APT::Install       show that Recommends or Suggests is something other than zero?
[17:31] <bwlang> theadmin: dpkg -l | grep -i ubuntu-desktop says no
[17:32] <bwlang> genii-around: hmm - yes - APT::Install-Recommends "1";  i
[17:32] <bwlang> '
[17:32] <bwlang> genii-around: i'll try to switch that.
[17:33] <solo|work> Can anyone point me at the .deb package for python2.7 (2.7.2-5ubuntu1.1)
[17:33] <theadmin> solo|work: What Ubuntu version?
[17:34] <genii-around> bwlang: Can just make /etc/apt/ap.conf and put it in there as is switching the 0 to 1
[17:34] <solo|work> oneiric, 11.10
[17:34] <genii-around> ap.conf->apt.conf
[17:34] <ferronica> How to change mouse pointer speed in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[17:34] <climbzilla> I'm still getting intermittent connection loss on wifi.  I still get full bars in the notification tray icon, but the browser won't load pages for five or ten minutes.
[17:34] <theadmin> solo|work: And which arch?
[17:34] <solo|work> theadmin: I'm not able to install through apt, so I figured I'd give dpkg a try.
[17:34] <climbzilla> (as much as five or ten minutes.  sometimes it's a lot less)

[17:35] <solo|work> theadmin: Thanks
[17:35] <kona_> u guys like unity in ubuntu 12.04?
[17:36] <D[4]ni> are some of the ubuntu repo servers down/slow atm? ppa.launchpad.net and security.ubuntu.com are slow as hell for me
[17:36] <solo|work> Ugh, that didn't work either. :|
[17:37] <EricBlade> good morning.  anyone know of a quick way to make a launcher that will open a terminal window with 4 tabs in it, titles set to specific things, and all in different working directories? :D
[17:37] <D[4]ni> apt-get upgrade stalls because the download of one package completely stops at 64,5 kB
[17:39] <makk> i dont know the inns and outs of irc can someone tel me a windows channel
[17:39] <D[4]ni> oh, fine, they broke firefox-trunk-globalmenu again oO
[17:40] <D[4]ni> like they do every other week
[17:40] <ThinkT510> makk: /join ##windows
[17:40] <kona_> join #windows# to hide channel
[17:42] <ikonia> kona_: that is an incorrect channel
[17:42] <ikonia> kona_: there is no such channel as #windows#
[17:42] <buzzkill> EricBlade:  write a script. man gnome-terminal; it has everything you need.
[17:42] <b__> EricBlade, gnome-terminal --tab -e "tail -f somefile" --tab -e "some_other_command"
[17:42] <uw> is there a way to get ".." to display in the the file browser?
[17:43] <EricBlade> buzzkill and b__ thanks
[17:43] <ikonia> uw: that is the directory one level up
[17:43] <uw> correct
[17:43] <kona_> how do you install themes for ubuntu 12.04?
[17:43] <uw> the browser doesnt have the functionality by default
[17:44] <ikonia> uw: so you can't see the permissions for the higher directory while you are in the child
[17:44] <JTBens> Hey, can anyone help me out on a shared folder problem in Ubuntu Server?
[17:44] <ferronica> How to change mouse pointer speed in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[17:44] <uw> i just want a way to navigate up the directory chain
[17:44] <bwlang> genii-around: after adding Install-Recommends "false"; to my config i see only 310 new packages… that's a big improvement, but certainly not all the way there.  I still see a much of desktop oriented stuff (e.g. libkmediaplayer4, kdelibs-bin)  Any suggestions for how to track down what is depending on those. I'm hoping that there is one "gateway" package that i can remove ...
[17:45] <JoeyJoeJo> When I run certain commands ("xend" for example) I get this error "Illegal instruction (core dumped)". How can I fix that? I'm on Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 64 bit
[17:45] <ikonia> uw: you use the up arrow
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, mouse and touchpad app.
[17:45] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: you'd have to analize the core dump, which is not an easy task
[17:45] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: is it just one command or many commands ?
[17:45] <JTBens> I am trying to set up a shared folder on Ubuntu Server that I can access from my machine running Windows and use that folder for back ups.. Any help?
[17:46] <ferronica> wilee-nilee: i want to slow down pointer speed
[17:46] <uw> ikonia, up arrow?
[17:46] <uw> it looks like theyve taken it out
[17:46] <ikonia> uw: in nautilus
[17:46] <ferronica> wilee-nilee: Its too Fast to move and control
[17:46] <ikonia> uw: can you take a screen shot of what you are seeing
[17:46] <ikonia> (please)
[17:46] <bwlang> I can see at packages.ubuntu.com what each package depends on… but not the inverse (which packages depend on the queried package).  Is there some other tool to help me?
[17:46] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: The weird thing is that if I mistype a command, ubuntu is supposed to say "I don't know that command, did you mean this other command?", but I get that core dumped message instead
[17:46] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: that's not what I asked
[17:46] <ferronica> wilee-nilee: i did from ubuntu mouse and Touchpad not worth
[17:46] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: So I guess to answer your question, it's multiple commands
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, Right do it with that app, if you have tried there and it is not slow enough say so.
[17:47] <bwlang> (note - i know how to do this on installed packages, but not for packages that don't have installed)
[17:47] <climbzilla> any ideas how I can fix my wireless connectivity issue?  I get intermittent blackouts
[17:47] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: no, that's not what I asked
[17:47] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: is it specific commands or random,
[17:47] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: It's not random. Commands either always work or always say core dumped
[17:47] <ferronica> wilee-nilee: yes i tried still not precise and too much fast to move
[17:47] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: ok, can you give me an idea of some of the commands that you know don't work
[17:47] <bwlang> climbzilla: wireless can be flakey in the face of interference… You could try a different channel.
[17:48] <ferronica> wilee-nilee: I need to set mouse resolution i think can help me out in this
[17:48] <genii-around> bwlang: No immediate idea. But I've found that if you have some graphics conversion stuff installed on a cli box like ffmpeg or libavpostproc it tends to want to pull in X related stuff
[17:48] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: So far the only commands that I know do it are "xm" and "xend", both part of Xen
[17:48] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: ok, so that would suggest "xen" is the problem
[17:48] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: did you get xen from the ubuntu repos ?
[17:48] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo:  sounds more like a shared object file / dependant library is corrupt or behaving poorly. you can use gdb --core=<name of core dump file> and look through it to find the potential culprit
[17:48] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: yes
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, My mouse has a button for changing the dpi does yours
[17:49] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: you're using ubuntu 12.04 ?
[17:49] <JTBens> Anyone have any suggestions for shared folder issue?
[17:49] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: 12.04.1
[17:49] <ferronica> wilee-nilee:  not in mouse im using very simple HP mouse
[17:49] <uw> here is what i see
[17:49] <uw> http://imgur.com/XegUG
[17:49] <ferronica> wilee-nilee:  You can say standard Optical mouse
[17:49] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: , ok so I'd suggest logging a bug against xen, include the core dump if possible in the bug report
[17:49] <genii-around> bwlang: Could you pastebin perhaps result of dpkg --get-selections  ?
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, Thats about all I know. ;(
[17:49] <JoeyJoeJo> buzzkill: Where are core dump files usually saved?
[17:50] <uw> i dont know how to go up, unless i delete the last "/whatever"
[17:50] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: current working directory
[17:50] <ferronica> wilee-nilee:  Ok no problem :(
[17:50] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: Ok, thanks
[17:50] <soulspire> Can any one help I have a big problem with 11.10 right now.. fresh install and it won't allow me to enter ppa's and the sound isn't working
[17:50] <ikonia> uw: so the back error should take you back  or "up" a level
[17:50] <DX099> hello, backing up my home directory, and /etc/ as well, what kind of tar command do I need ?
[17:50] <ferronica> ikonia: Can you help me out!
[17:50] <b__> JTBens, going through smb.conf and desperately trying to find what to fix with a lot of google-fu ?
[17:50] <ikonia> ferronica: not at the moment, I'm busy
[17:50] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo:  from whence you launched the program/application. Usually the current working directory, but if you have a script that forces you to a chrooted place, or other working directory, they will typically reside there.
[17:51] <ferronica> ikonia: Oh Ok :(
[17:51] <Scunizi> uw: in that view the back (left arrow) will go up one directory.. you might want to install and try dolphin, kde's default file manager.. although the "up" arrow isn't viewable it's trivial to make it viewable.
[17:51] <JoeyJoeJo> buzzkill: I must have a script, because there isn't anything in the current directory after a core dump
[17:51] <ikonia> uw: I'd suggest not installing dolphin
[17:51] <JTBens> I tried a lot of Googling lol.. I'm not sure if I am having network issues or configuration issues.. I wasn wondering if anyone has done it and can give me a guide line to follow
[17:51] <ferronica> Anyone who can help me in setting mouse DPI in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[17:52] <uw> ikonia, when i first open the file browswer, the "back arrow" will be grayed out and cant be used
[17:52] <ikonia> uw: it will pull in all the KDE dependencies which is quite a lot for a file browser
[17:52] <buzzkill> DX099:  why do you need tar? What are  you trying to do exactly? backup to another location or just into a tar file directly?
[17:52] <uw> plus back isnt always up anyway
[17:52] <ikonia> uw: there must be a setting for "show hidden files" or something which will show . and ..
[17:52] <Scunizi> uw: dolphin will have right/left and you can make up visible.
[17:52] <uw> Thanks for the offer, but yea, ive used kde years ago and learned my lesson
[17:52] <ikonia> uw: I'd be very dissapointed if that was not the case, there certainly is on my non-ubuntu nautilus browser
[17:52] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, With a quick look at the web it looks like checking there with dpi and the actual mouse model and ubuntu nmay help
[17:52] <wilee-nilee> may*
[17:53] <DX099> buzzkill, I'm trying to backup my system before upgrading. I want to save /home/myhome/  to some external support , and also want to save /etc/ because of the confs I got there
[17:53] <uw> ikonia, i have "show hidden files" selected
[17:53] <uw> it is showing them
[17:53] <uw> but not the ..
[17:53] <ferronica> wilee-nilee:  tried nothing helped
[17:53] <uw> or .
[17:53] <Scunizi> uw: not suggesting a switch to kde.. just the file manager.. dolphin is different from what was used in the past.
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> ferronica, Ah, bummer.
[17:53] <buzzkill> DX099:  is the backup location reachable via rsync?  It may be a faster and safer way.
[17:54] <DX099> buzzkill, so it would be backup with tar & 7z to another location, it's an external hdd
[17:54] <ikonia> uw: yeah, I've just tried that in mine, I agree
[17:54] <JTBens> Has anyone set up a shared folder in Ubuntu Server and accessed it on a different machine running windows?
[17:54] <buzzkill> DX099:  well, if it is mounted in /media/backup... I would mkdir /media/backup/20121017
[17:54] <ferronica> wilee-nilee:  ??
[17:54] <DX099> buzzkill, that's done
[17:55] <uw> Scunizi, ok I will think about it.  but all I really want is to go up a level by clicking a button like previous releases, not a whole new file browser
[17:55] <uw> that up arrow has been around since 6.06 or before, i guess it's gone now?
[17:55] <ikonia> uw: go->open parent, a ver ugly solution
[17:55] <Scunizi> uw: sometimes while skinning a cat you need a new cat
[17:55] <buzzkill> DX099:  then.. for name in etc /home/myhome do; rsync -rav --progress /${name} /media/backup/20121017/; done
[17:56] <ikonia> Scunizi: installing all of KDE's deps for a browser, overkill
[17:56] <ikonia> there are plenty of other gnome/gtk ones
[17:56] <buzzkill> DX099:  tar will work fine too, especially if you need the compression.
[17:56] <ikonia> installing QT, KDE and all that for dolphin is not a good plan
[17:56] <Scunizi> ikonia: ok.. make a suggestion to him.. I live on kde
[17:56] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia buzzkill: So the 'gdb' command also returns a core dump
[17:56] <ikonia> Scunizi: I am making suggestions
[17:56] <bwlang> genii-around: I could post,  but in my digging i found kdirstat installed… i'm trying to remove that to see if i get an improvement
[17:56] <buzzkill> DX099:  tar czvpf /media/backup/20121017/mybackup.tgz /etc /home/myhome
[17:56] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: you shouldn't try to analyise it unless you know what you are doing
[17:56] <Scunizi> ikonia: sorry.. missed them.. I'll back away.
[17:57] <k1l_> uw: you still can go upwards
[17:57] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: it's interesting that it also core dumps
[17:57] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: Yeah, so it must not be a Xen thing
[17:57] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: that's not true
[17:57] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: have you ran hardware diags ?
[17:57] <ikonia> especially around memory ?
[17:57] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo:  yea... I am thinking you have a memory issue
[17:57] <k1l_> uw: look here: http://mrfrosti.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/gnome-file-browser-card.jpg there are the dcim and usbhdd folders listed that are "upwards"
[17:57] <uw> k1l_, yup, by deleting the last "/ahtever"
[17:58] <ikonia> uw: go to the "go" menu and then "parent directory"
[17:58] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia buzzkill: No I haven't tested the memory. This is a brand new server so I hope the memory isn't bad
[17:58] <DX099> buzzkill, thanks, I never tried rsync before but I need compression, that's why I wanted tar
[17:58] <k1l_> uw: i just dont know what the look is called like
[17:58] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: brandnew does not mean it's "good"
[17:58] <k1l_> (right under the "up file" in my picture)
[17:58] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: this is going to hurt but I'd run memcheck for a good 8 - 12 - 14 hours
[17:58] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo:  reboot and run memtest
[17:59] <ikonia> have confidence it's not the problem
[17:59] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: get a good many full memory passes through it
[17:59] <uw> ikonia, yup that works.  how can i get that in one button on the front?  not in a sub menu?
[17:59]  * buzzkill thinks that ikonia and I are on the same wavelength
[17:59] <JoeyJoeJo> iknonia buzzkll: I think I'll try reinstalling the OS first and if I get the same error I'll do the long ass memcheck
[17:59] <uw> i use that "up" feature pretty commonly
[17:59] <uw> like the rst of the world
[17:59] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: it's painful but until you "prove it's good" people will just keep asking you
[17:59] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: I'm wondering if I fucked something up in the kernel or shared libraries when I was installing Xen
[17:59] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo: depending on your install, that may be faster and only prove that the install may still not be the issue.
[18:00] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: that language is unacceptable
[18:00] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: and uncalled for
[18:00] <IdleOne> JoeyJoeJo: Please no cursing
[18:00] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: the package manager does all the work for you - so how would you have broken something ?
[18:00] <buzzkill> oversubscription?
[18:00] <uw> k1l_, do you how to change the looks?
[18:00] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: I asked you if this was xen provided by ubuntu, you said "yes" so in theory the package manager should do it all for you
[18:00] <invisibleheero> Hey guys, do you have any idea which file I can edit to add my custom iptables rules to UFW? I've tried /etc/ufw/user.rules and /usr/share/ufw/user.rules but when I reload the  firewall they don't get added.
[18:00] <uw> i was looking how to do that too and couldnt find it
[18:00] <uw> it usta be called profiles under appearance
[18:00] <uw> but i dont konw what they did with tit
[18:01] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: in that respect there is nothing for you to personally break
[18:01] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: you installed it using the package manager, correct ?
[18:01] <k1l_> uw: i dont know, i think its smth you made manually. because you dont seem to have global menue too
[18:02] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: Yes, I installed xen via apt-get
[18:02] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: so if you are using the official ubuntu repo, there is nothijng for you to break
[18:02] <uw> k1l_, i am running the "gnome_session_fallback" tasksel
[18:02] <ikonia> JoeyJoeJo: you're going to have to run memtest to verify the ram (sorry) as until you do, people will just want you to verify your ram
[18:02] <uw> could that be the problem?
[18:03] <k1l_> uw: oh well. that is a poored down gnome3 to look like gnome2 but leaves a lot of funtions out- desktop
[18:03] <BoozeWooz> heleeeew
[18:04] <k1l_> uw: breadcrumbs was the name of the thing i meant: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/give-nautilus%E2%80%99-breadcrumbs-a-sleek-new-look
[18:04] <ferronica> Anyone who can help me in setting mouse DPI in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[18:04] <BoozeWooz> hmm
[18:04] <BoozeWooz> hi
[18:04] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia: Yeah, I'll verify my ram overnight tonight. memtest is on the ubuntu install disc, right?
[18:05] <dalton2345> i believe so JoeyJoeJo
[18:05] <Praxi> on command line, how do I show the # of items total when I do a LS
[18:05] <buzzkill> Praxi:  ls -l | wc -l
[18:05] <BoozeWooz> Could not grab your mouse.
[18:05] <BoozeWooz> A malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session or you may have just clicked a menu or some application just decided to get focus.
[18:05] <BoozeWooz> :S:S:S?? what it means?!?!
[18:05] <Praxi> buzzkill, ty

[18:06] <daviddoria> where is the "suspend/hibernate/sleep" button in KDE?
[18:06] <noiro> anyone know how to adjust gnome settings?
[18:06] <k1l_> uw: well, that is not what the gnome devs seem to find a good idea :)
[18:06] <BoozeWooz> FROM NO NEED
[18:06] <uw> yea i guess this is a gnome problem
[18:06] <wilee-nilee> !details > noiro
[18:06] <uw> time to rage on #gnome
[18:07] <noiro> In gnome, moving my mouse to the top left of the screen activates the home menu, and that's annoying when just hitting the 'back' button on my browser. Any way to change corners?
[18:08] <talsamon> invisibleheero,  what do you think is the differnce between user.rules and user6.rules ?
[18:09] <ferronica> Anyone who can help me in setting mouse DPI in ubuntu 12.04 64bit?
[18:10] <DX099> noiro, #gnome (install gnome-tweak-tool)
[18:10] <genii-around> Hm
[18:11] <DX099> noiro, (and check extensions.gnome.org -- yes, such settings are considered "extensions" by gnome devs)
[18:14] <vp18> 12.10 so far so good

[18:28] <buzzkill> ferronica:  have you seen http://askubuntu.com/questions/135122/reduce-the-mouse-sensitivity
[18:28] <D4rkH4nd> Every time i run this .sh this happends. But it never did B4.
[18:28] <ferronica> buzzkill: yes
[18:29] <ferronica> but where is xorg file for my mouse
[18:29] <L3top> what is the .sh D4rkH4nd? What is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[18:29] <buzzkill> ferronica:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf *ALWAYS MAKE A COPY FIRST* you have been warned.
[18:29] <ferronica> buzzkill: there is no settings in xorg related to my mouse
[18:30] <buzzkill> ferronica:  right... you have to add the 'Option Sensitivity' from what I read
[18:30] <ferronica> buzzkill: wait le me open that file again wait
[18:31] <buzzkill> ferronica:  it takes you to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-to-set-mouse-sensitivity-in-xorg-conf-not-window-manager-425552/
[18:31] <_XMENDES> guys.. how i save my initialyze settings??
[18:31] <KBentley57> hey guys, has anyone installed the amd 12.9 beta driver with a kernel > 3.5?
[18:31] <_XMENDES> backup of my x initialize settings
[18:32] <ozz1> buzzkill thx man beowulf cluster is what i need, meybe some more advice something alse ? have you done before ?
[18:32] <buzzkill> _XMENDES:  the X config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf a copy of that will at least get you back to your current settings.
[18:32] <_XMENDES> only this?
[18:33] <buzzkill> ozz1:  nope. I would look up anything on google that uses the terminology 'cluster' and 'linux'
[18:33] <buzzkill> _XMENDES:  that is how the hardware is mapped to the video driver.
[18:33] <gridwest> what channel should I go to ask general programming, and router related questions?
[18:33] <_XMENDES> now.. i wanna save my layout of desktop menus
[18:34] <buzzkill> _XMENDES:  if you are looking to save the current desktop theme... that is different. That is handled through the control panel
[18:34] <_XMENDES> were?
[18:34] <skimpydoodle> hello, are the ubuntu precise repos having issues today?
[18:34] <_XMENDES> im using cairo-dock with unity lateral painel
[18:34] <skimpydoodle> apt-get update Errs sometimes, new boxes have issues coming up
[18:34] <buzzkill> gridwest:  depends on the language you need/want to write in... and router question, not sure. you could always try here.
[18:34] <ElVinz> hi
[18:34] <_XMENDES> i wanna save this layout
[18:35] <wilee-nilee> skimpydoodle, Run a apt-get update and pastebin all the text.
[18:35] <ferronica> buzzkill: be right back restart system
[18:35] <nannes> _XMENDES: Are you kidding? Cairo-Dock + Unity panel?
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> sounds overkill to me
[18:36] <ElVinz> I have formatted an external drive under ubuntu, but it does not show in windows. The disk is in ntfs format, and I used the disk mangement utility. Is there something special to do to have it compatible with windows ?
[18:36] <nannes> oh, if you have so much RAM to waste .. why don't you give me some? ;)
[18:36] <skimpydoodle> wilee-niles, here it is: http://pastebin.com/C0e7pk2H
[18:36] <_XMENDES> i was using lateral unity panel, and i installed cairo dock
[18:36] <_XMENDES> and now both are working.. i want to save
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> ElVinz, Is the NTFS the first partition on the drive?
[18:37] <nannes> _XMENDES: Cairo dock is a wonderful dock. But I'm trying to let you know that using 2 different docks isn't really smart.  Cairo dock can handle also a lateral bar like unity's
[18:37] <ElVinz> wilee-nilee, yes, it is the only partition
[18:37] <skimpydoodle> wilee-nilee: we also get hash mismatch errors on launching new instances:  W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[18:37] <_XMENDES> then this lateral bar is from cairo-dock too?
[18:38] <nannes> _XMENDES: No, that is unity's.  But it's not smart to keep both
[18:38] <morph> hey guys i was wondering can i install ubuntu on an iMac with the bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse?
[18:38] <morph> will it recognize it automatically or do i have to turn it on (i have no other mouse or ekyboard to enable it...)
[18:38] <_XMENDES> but i liked :)
[18:38] <_XMENDES> its more usual for me
[18:38] <nannes> morph: A few days ago I did it in a iBookG4 late 2004 :P
[18:38] <morph> with bluetooth?
[18:39] <nannes> _XMENDES: Well, but you're wasting electric energy (which you pay) and really much RAM
[18:39] <wilee-nilee> ElVinz, Should show, since you used windows to format it and you are trying to see it from windows I just have to wonder why you are not at ##windows asking this.
[18:39] <morph> my hang up is that i dont have a USB mouse or keyboard to and enable bluetooth
[18:39] <nannes> morph: nope. But I think it'll work too
[18:39] <nannes> _XMENDES: So I personally suggest to get rid of unity
[18:39] <morph> hmm guess i'll have to give it a shot
[18:39] <morph> thanks nannes
[18:39] <ElVinz> wilee-nilee, no no :) I formatted using Ubuntu
[18:40] <wilee-nilee> skimpydoodle, Not sure.
[18:40] <gridwest> I need to forward my local computer's port externally, is there anyway do this automatically?
[18:40] <blabla\> Hi. I've missused a xrandr command and now I can't access a terminal or the X server anymore. What can I do ?
[18:40] <nannes> morph: yw. Remember to download powerPC version, if your mac has it
[18:40] <wilee-nilee> ElVinz, Should show not sure what is wrong.
[18:40] <ElVinz> wilee-nilee, I used the disk utility in ubuntu, with NTFS and all default option
[18:40] <dontknow> anyone here build firefox with intel c++ compiler?
[18:41] <wilee-nilee> ElVinz, I would use gparted myself, this is not for a install is it?
[18:41] <ElVinz> wilee-nilee, it is just to have a drive to transfer data between linux and windows
[18:42] <wilee-nilee> ElVinz, run in ubuntu sudo fdisk -lu and pastebin the text
[18:42] <ElVinz> wilee-nilee, ok
[18:42] <ElVinz> I reboot
[18:42] <jp2Nick_> hey gents
[18:43] <jp2Nick_> trying to get gparted running in a fresh install of 12.04 LTS
[18:43] <jp2Nick_> I keep bumping against this:
[18:44] <skimpydoodle> how many times a day are the Ubuntu mirrors updated/synched?
[18:44] <skimpydoodle> is it possible that if you hit a mirror during an update, you get Hash mismatch?
[18:44] <fabiano> hello to everyone
[18:44] <fabiano> is IRC secure
[18:45] <fabiano> can I have a virus while using an Irc channel?
[18:45] <skimpydoodle> wonder if the 12.10 update that was released is causing the errors, since it's synching between mirror repos
[18:45] <fabiano> i dunno my pc updates
[18:45] <gridwest> Is it possible to write a piece of software that will forward an external port from my computer, then close said port when no longer needed.
[18:45] <bazhang> fabiano, ask in #freenode
[18:45] <niranjan> Hey folks, I have my machine setup to update network time automatically on ubntu 12.04. However noticing that my machine is loosing time - its behind almost by 4 minutes as compared to other machine. What can be the reason
[18:45] <fabiano> ok thanks
[18:46] <Benxyzzy> Am I right in thinking I can install GNOME Activity Journal to view and manage the stuff Zeitgeist has logged about me to date?
[18:50] <jp2_ubuntu> trying to run gparted
[18:50] <jp2_ubuntu> I keep getting
[18:50] <gridwest> Is it possible to automatically forward an external port from my computer, then automatically close said port when no longer needed?
[18:51] <dr_willis> gridwest:  i imagine you could set up automated ssh tunnles.. if that would do what you need. or are you morre into needing iptables type forwarding?
[18:51] <jp2_ubuntu> I keep getting the message
[18:52] <jp2_ubuntu> Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[18:52] <bazhang> !enter | jp2_ubuntu
[18:52] <dr_willis> jp2_ubuntu:  you are on the gui desktop? how are you running it exactly?
[18:52] <jp2_ubuntu> tried many sudo / gksudo and still get this message
[18:52] <jp2_ubuntu> I tried from gui desktp, I get no error message
[18:53] <jp2_ubuntu> when I launch from ssh I get the error message
[18:53] <gridwest> dr willis i would really like to setup automated ssh tunnels,
[18:53] <dr_willis> go to the gui. open terminal, gksudo gparted
[18:53] <dontknow> Anyone here build profile guided optimized firefox with intel c++ compiler?
[18:53] <jp2_ubuntu> dumb question how do I open terminal in server gnome gui?
[18:54] <dr_willis> its in the menus/apps under 'terminal' i belive
[18:54] <jp2_ubuntu> k trying this
[18:54] <dr_willis> dash has a search feature.
[18:54]  * dr_willis wonders how he was doing gkssudo/sudo befor...
[18:55] <jp2_ubuntu> wish I could send dr_willis a million
[18:55]  * jp2_ubuntu wonders how I got this far
[18:55] <dr_willis> so do i...
[18:55] <dr_willis> ;)
[18:55] <elvinz> wilee-nilee, here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/KYdJCAdy
[18:55] <morgan> no one in studio ubuntu chat so I'll come here, is there a way of resetting the jack settings, as I've messed something up and i'm not sure what.
[18:55] <jp2_ubuntu> thanks guy, will be back for next sudo emergency. Wondering why it will install on the desktop but not run with elevated privileges
[18:55] <dr_willis> first thing i always do. drag the terminal icon onto the launcher. ;)
[18:56] <jp2_ubuntu> I figured it was just disabled in server version
[18:56] <jp2_ubuntu> doh
[18:56] <dr_willis> server and desktop are mainly just a matter oof whats installed by default differances
[18:57] <wilee-nilee> elvinz, If /dev/sdc1 is the HD it says linux
[18:57] <uw> does ubuntu still have Appearance Preferences?
[18:57] <dr_willis> morgan:  look for any config files like .jack* or directories perhaps. and move/rename/delete them
[18:57] <morgan> good idea
[18:58] <elvinz> wilee-nilee, yes I know... but the partition is ntfs, it appears as NTFS in gparted too... Is it a problem with the mbr ?
[18:58] <matt_> can i update ubuntu 12.10 fro beta to full tomorrow when its released?
[18:58] <Endorgh> Hi everyone
[18:58] <bazhang> Guest94594, yes
[18:58] <DJones> !final | Guest94594
[18:58] <tizr> I want to remove the jdk, but when I do 'sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre' it tells me 'The following extra packages will be installed: <a list of other java stuff I don't want>'.  How do I just nuke it?  I don't want to replace it with something else
[18:59] <wilee-nilee> elvinz, take a screenshot of gparted looking at the HD and imagebin it
[18:59] <Guest94594> bazhang, so all i have to do is do the update manager?
[19:00] <bazhang> Guest94594, if there are updates, then accept them. you will be final when that is done
[19:00] <Guest94594> bazhang, ok thanks
[19:00] <gridwest> dr_willis: I am interested in setting up automated ssh tunnles that if possible, don't require the user to mess with their router settings
[19:01] <Endorgh> I've spent last 5 hours trying to discover Why my wired ethernet connection works only at 300kbps after a kernel upgrade. I've tried to disable ipv6 (no success) and a lot of internal configurations, but nothing has worked.
[19:01] <Benxyzzy> In answer to my original question, yes the Activity Journal does look at preexisting Zeitgeist logs. It's kind of scary to see a complete history of *everything* I ever did... thank God for whole-disk encryption
[19:02] <elvinz> wilee-nilee, in the disk utility, I have changed the type of partition from linux to NTFS. I guess this edited the mbr of the disk.
[19:02] <Endorgh> my ethernet adapter is: 82562V 10/100 Network Connection, and I'm trying to compile the original driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=9180&lang=eng
[19:02] <elvinz> wilee-nilee, I reboot in windows to test, thanks for the directions
[19:02] <Endorgh> but make install doesn't work. Any suggestions please.....
[19:04] <gridwest> is it possible to setup automated ssh tunneling?
 via bash script?
[19:04] <tizr> Does anyone have a solution to completely remove a package without apt sneakingly installing one of the alternatives in update-alternatives?
[19:04] <dr_willis> gridwest:  with all the scripting tools and stuff.. i would imagine so
[19:05] <jrib> tizr: why do you want to do that?
[19:05] <gridwest> via bash/python
[19:05] <gridwest> I always have to forward ports on my router
[19:05] <tizr> I'm trying to remove openjdk6-* and it tries to install openjdk-7 stuff when I'm only passing a purge opt...
[19:05] <gridwest> and I don't want my users to open their routers up to potential security hazards
[19:06] <jrib> tizr: can you pastebin?  My guess is you have something that depends on it.  You could try just using dpkg and then apt-get autoremove
[19:06] <tizr> jrib: do you know where I have to go to manually kill these unwanted associations that cause one mole to pop up when I'm smashing another?
[19:07] <tizr> does dpkg have a dependency opt?
[19:08] <tizr> err it doesn't seem to, do you know a way to list the packages that depend on something I pass as an option?
[19:08] <jrib> tizr: apt-cache show or apt-cache depends
[19:08] <tizr> jrib: that should do the trick, thank you!
[19:08] <jrib> tizr: erm.  Or apt-cache rdepends depending on what you mean
[19:09] <zezikaro> hi does anyone know how to deal with proxies easily on ubuntu
[19:09] <zezikaro> i'm having so many problems, even after setting http_proxy env
[19:09] <zezikaro> with export http_proxy=...
[19:09] <dr_willis> exporting it from where?
[19:09] <zezikaro> command line
[19:09] <zezikaro> open terminal >export http_proxy=...
[19:09] <zezikaro> close terminal
[19:10] <dr_willis> theres the issue.....
[19:10] <zezikaro> do you have to add it to the last line of .bashrc ?
[19:10] <dr_willis> export it. run your browser from that terminal and see if it works...
[19:10] <L3top> anyone know if there is a way to install linux-image-XXX without it running osprobe or trying to install grub? This is a pxe boot. Lucid
[19:11] <dr_willis> .bashrc or .profile would be good
[19:11] <zezikaro> gotcha thanks
[19:11] <celso_> Hi all! When will ubuntu be released?
[19:11] <L3top> root      1851  0.2  0.6  23820 22352 pts/2    Ds+  20:59   0:02 /usr/bin/dpkg --force-confold --status-fd 30 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.0.0-26-generic_3.0.0-26.43~lucid1_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-common_1.98-1ubuntu13_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-pc_1.98-1ubuntu13_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/os-prober_1.38_i386.deb
[19:11] <Chamunks> is there an advanced duplicate file removal / identifier tool?
[19:11] <jrib> Chamunks: fdupes
[19:11] <zezikaro> dr_willis apt-get update etc doesn't work either xD
[19:11] <Chamunks> Possibly one that does a checksum of files if a duplicate is detected.
[19:11] <zezikaro> or adding ppa
[19:12] <Chamunks> jrib, thanks I'll look into it.
[19:12] <zezikaro> and running shell scripts doesn't work either :(
[19:12] <end_guy> anyone having trouble with the update manager in 12.04LTS hanging while trying to download libllvm3.2?
[19:12] <zezikaro> I can fit the apt-get by modifying apt conf.d
[19:12] <zezikaro> but i have no idea how to make shell scripts know about the proxy
[19:13] <Chamunks> jrib, is there a graphical front end to fdupes?
[19:13] <iceroot> zezikaro: there is http_proxy variable or something like that
[19:13] <jrib> Chamunks: I don't know
[19:13] <zezikaro> iceroot i've exported that now; But it's ignored by most programs :(
[19:16] <gridwest>  I am connected to all you people right now... Why didn't I have to forward any port in my router config to do so?
[19:16] <tizr> ugh... I do `sudo apt-get purge --ignore-missing --no-download openjdk-6-jre` but still I get an error "Unable to correct missing packages".  How do I just kill this package?
[19:16] <tizr> I don't care what it breaks
[19:17] <tizr> it doesn't need to be here anyway
[19:17] <jrib> tizr: yes you do.  Anyway, can you pastebin full output?
[19:17] <gridwest> Because we are connected to a middle server
[19:17] <tizr> I swear I don't - I was using it for ec2 tools that I'm not using anymore on my instance.  Is there no option to just ignore dependencies??? what a horrible horrible package system
[19:18] <Chamunks> jrib, how was your experience with fdupes
[19:19] <jrib> Chamunks: I used it a few years ago and it worked as expected
[19:19] <TheLordOfTime> gridwest, outbound data is probably not restricted, it usually isnt.  and "RELATED,ESTABLSIHED" are common "accept" rules i see in firewalls for outbound-related data
[19:20] <L3top> tizr: dpkg -i --ignore-depends: <depend> <depend> <depend>  <package>
[19:20] <Chamunks> jrib, How big was your data set?  Also roughly how long did it take?
[19:20] <gridwest> How can I see the text you just wrote me, it is incoming data?
[19:20] <jrib> Chamunks: I don't remember to be honest
[19:20] <Chamunks> I might concidder  running it on a smb share if possible.
[19:20] <tizr> http://pastebin.com/bbrn25Gv
[19:20] <tizr> L3top thank you
[19:21] <Chamunks> jrib, even a rough guess would be helpful.
[19:21] <jrib> Chamunks: all I remember is I walked away for lunch and came back, but I don't really know how big the data set was
[19:22] <Chamunks> jrib, any idea of the kinds of data?
[19:22] <Chamunks> ok fair enough no worries I'm sure it will do fine.  Thanks I'll just > the results into a .txt file somewhere for later auditing.
[19:23] <wroa>  When I download with wubi, it says it's unable to download the metalink. How do I fix it?
[19:24] <Jaith> i'm trying to set up an Ubuntu instance such that a) no mail is delivered locally and b) ALL mail is sent using Amazon SES -- can anyone help me with some postfix configuration?
[19:24] <jrib> Jaith: there's a #postfix where you may also wish to try
[19:24] <Jaith> jrib: THANKS
[19:25] <wilee-nilee> wroa, You get the installer from here? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
[19:25] <schultza> is there a way to transfer with rsync and still show the % transfered for the whole or each file?
[19:25] <wroa> Yeah.
[19:26] <wilee-nilee> wroa, here is wubi guide as well, wubi is a tryout option just a heads up. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[19:26] <wroa> Alright, thanks. I'll check it out.
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> wroa, You can transfer that wubi install to a partition as well if you want to later, it is then a regular dualboot.
[19:28] <schultza> brb
[19:28] <end_guy> I'm having problem with the update manager in 12.04LTS. It hangs when downloading an update to libllvm3.2. I've tried changing my download mirror twice and it still hangs. Any suggestions?
[19:28] <clook> libllvm is not critical
[19:29] <clook> you could de-install, upgrade, install
[19:29] <Benxyzzy> OK, so far I've discovered recently-used.xbel and Zeitgeist as global, 'record everything you do' mechanisms in Ubuntu. Am I going to get any other surprises, or is that it privacy-wise?
[19:30] <Chat9478> Hi
[19:30] <tizr> L3top: FREE AT LAST! `dpkg -l | grep jre\\\|jdk` -> ∅ :)
[19:30] <mangozy> i fear so much to change my critical pc to ubuntu , its almost like it will break if i do ,  Anyway on my non critical pc i have ubuntu on , but it keeps flashing my screen every 20 minutes . What could be wrong there ? Maybe graphics drivers or something wrong with  ubuntu 12.04 ?
[19:30] <L3top> !yay
[19:30] <schultza> is there a way to force rsync to give me % transferred ?
[19:30] <clook> Benxyzzy: ubuntu is about fashion and gimmicks, not privacy
[19:31] <end_guy> How do I force the install when 'apt-get upgrade' holds some packages back?
[19:31] <L3top> schultza: --progress
[19:31] <jcrza> Hey dudes, small question, how can I make functionlock on by default?
[19:31] <schultza> thank you
[19:31] <bazhang> end_guy, dist-upgrade
[19:31] <jcrza> I never ever want to have to use it, why would I want my f5 key to open a media player instead of refresh? ._.
[19:32] <end_guy> bazhang: Command not found, is it apt-get upgrade -d
[19:32] <bazhang> !dist-upgrade | end_guy
[19:32] <jrib> jcrza: happen to be an apple machine?
[19:32] <jcrza> Nope, just an regular netbook
[19:32] <jcrza> a*
[19:32] <end_guy> :(
[19:32] <jcrza> And infuriatingly enough my function lock needs to be held down, it's not even like caps lock
[19:33] <end_guy> lulz, apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> jcrza, you mean the 'fn' key on a netbook?
[19:34] <jcrza> Yep
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> jcrza, you can't, that's generally never lockable
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> jcrza, 95% of the time its functionality is controlled by hardware
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> not necessarily software
[19:34] <jcrza> o_O
[19:34] <n1> kde partition manager report's the lack of administrative privilages
[19:34] <jcrza> that makes no sense to me
[19:34] <n1> ...reports
[19:35] <L3top> scroll lock caps lock num lock are typically the only things that lock jcrza
[19:35] <jcrza> every function lock I've ever had locks except this one
[19:35] <dr_willis> jcrza:  logitech had a similer keybord ages ago  the f keys had to be accessed via 'fn-F#' or else they were used as multimedia keys
[19:35] <jcrza> And there's really no way to tell software to interpret one key as another by default?
[19:35] <jcrza> How would a help key be built in to my hardware? that makes no sense to me.
[19:36] <TimothyA> is there a way to limit users to only be able to use SFTP, and not use it as a shell?
[19:36] <dr_willis> the keybode the key is sending is different i belive.
[19:36] <jcrza> hrm.
[19:36] <L3top> jcrza: you can remap them. As for help, it is probably sending ctrl + f1
[19:36] <jcrza> what an annoying feature
[19:36] <jrib> jcrza: I'd be surprised if there isn't some key combo you hit that locks it and yeah, worst-case scenario you could just use xmodmap and remap the keys
[19:36] <jcrza> I'm really mad
[19:36] <jcrza> xmodmap, sounds like a plan
[19:37] <L3top> jcrza: xev is your friend.
[19:37] <jcrza> Now I just have to figure out how to do that :)
[19:37] <jrib> jcrza: what netbook?  so I know not to get one
[19:37] <michealPW> LOL ^
[19:37] <jcrza> some gateway netbook I found at best buy for like 170 bucks
[19:37] <jcrza> things actually great except for this.
[19:37] <jcrza> I stuck an intel SSD in there and it's lightning.
[19:38] <dr_willis> it may have some drivers under windows that let you toggle the 'feature' ;)
[19:38] <jcrza> I have nostalgia for gateway so I figured I"d try it :(
[19:39] <jrib> jcrza: might check bios too
[19:39]  * wilee-nilee hmm a emotional attachment to a inanimate object that does sound like "mad" ;)
[19:40] <jcrza> My first PC was a gateway :) fond memories of breaking it and fixing it, and playing quake 2
[19:40] <jcrza> And then quake 3 came out and I got a voodoo 3 and it was crazy.
[19:41] <jcrza> Poor old 3dfx
[19:41] <dr_willis> the days of the video cards taking more power then ttthe rest of the pc.. ;)
[19:44] <eka__> How to solve this error "Cannot find config.m4. Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module"

[19:45] <ghabit> Hello. Is it possible to setup unity to expose all windows on mouse-corner-move?
[19:47] <Mandex> hi
[19:47] <michealPW> Hey that's neato! KDE's main taskbar can behave just like Ubuntu's Launcher and Microsoft's Taskbar (Where you can pin apps to the taskbar)

[19:53] <FL1SK> Hi Ubuntu World
[19:54] <ULO-Plio> FL1SK: What's uppppppppppppppp
[19:54] <FL1SK> I have worked for SUSE for 8+ years

[19:55] <ipt> i install the geoip module of iptables, downloaded the file and when I give any command with -m geoip, it says iptables -A INPUT -m geoip --src-cc CN -j DROP #  iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
[19:55] <ipt> i followed this guide: http://roberthaddon.blogspot.nl/2011/09/geoip-filtering-on-ubuntu-1104-natty.html
[19:55] <ULO-Plio> I wouldn't know why :P I don't have a clue as to what the work environment is like or their compensation packages LOL
[19:57] <tpimtts> can anyone suggest me a decent decompiler on ubuntu?
[19:57] <gridwest> Is an ssh tunnel half-duplex encrypted or full-duplex?
[19:57] <gridwest> I have always assumed full
[20:02] <guntbert> gridwest: I cannot understand your question
[20:05] <gridwest> Is the encrpytion in an SSH tunnel bidirection (file transfer wise)?
[20:05] <gridwest> *bidirectional
[20:06] <OerHeks> Both ways, ofcourse
[20:06] <gridwest> ok I had always thought so, but just wanted to make sure
[20:07] <gridwest> now can two applications use the same external port at the same time simultaneously?
[20:07] <gridwest> I think the answer is no, but need a double check
[20:08] <OerHeks> "external port" do you mean the router port ? like port 80 to pc-X ?
[20:09] <gridwest> port 0- 65535
[20:09] <gridwest> yes
[20:09] <OerHeks> inbound, from the internet to your machine ? only one machine can
[20:10] <gridwest> what about outbound
[20:10] <guntbert> gridwest: do you realize that this channel is for ubuntu support? your questions are more generally networking related, it seems
[20:10] <gridwest> I am new to xchat
[20:10] <aman_> i have a toshiba notebook. i want to install ubuntu on it. but i cant solve acpi issue. pls help me.
[20:11] <OerHeks> gridwest, same answer, AFAIK
[20:11] <gridwest> what is AFAIK
[20:11] <OerHeks> gridwest, "as far as i know"
[20:13] <gridwest> I don't know what channel to join to be honest
[20:13] <sdollins> perhaps #networking?
[20:13] <gridwest> do they answer programming questions as well?
[20:14] <bazhang> gridwest, ##programming
[20:14] <gridwest> what if my question is related to both
[20:14] <aman_> hey
[20:14] <aman_> help mi
[20:14] <aman_> help me
[20:15] <aman_> problem is: toshiba, acpi, ubuntu
[20:15] <aman_> :D

[20:17] <xangua> Gary_inNYC: what versión of iOS¿ precice only supports until iOS 5 i believe
[20:17] <ellorenz> Hi to all
[20:17] <Gary_inNYC> i'm using ios 4.2.1
[20:18] <xangua> Gary_inNYC: have you tried gtkpod¿
[20:18] <Gary_inNYC> it used to sync just fine, I don't know what changed
[20:20] <Gary_inNYC> I did notice that the ipod touch now mounts twice; once for the filesystem, and once for application folders
[20:20] <ellorenz> Somebody can help me to set up an hotspot with apn mode on ubuntu 12.04 with intel wifi?
[20:21] <Gary_inNYC> i'll try gtkpod for now, but ideally I want to have rhythmbox do the syncing again
[20:22] <D4rkH4nd>  I need some help, Every time i run any scripts it make Ubuntu start to crash.
[20:23] <guntbert> D4rkH4nd: what scripts?
[20:31] <actarus76> ciao

[20:35] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia buzzkill: I reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch and ran the gdb command (this previously resulted in "core dumped") and all was fine. So I installed Xen via apt-get and rebooted and now when I run gdb I get "core dumped" again
[20:36] <JoeyJoeJo> ikonia buzzkill: So I'm kinda leaning towards it being a software issue, though I'm about to start a memtest just to be sure
[20:44] <buzzkill> JoeyJoeJo:  it has to be something with either a kernel addition or memory (IMHO)
[20:46] <JoeyJoeJo> buzzkill: We'll know for sure tomorrow when the memtest is complete
[20:47] <systems> hello
[20:47] <systems> i am trying to put an atx switch on a serial header inorder for ubuntu to run a script once the switch is triggered. Is this even possible???
[20:49] <timothyja> Hi Guys, I'm trying to fill a bug anyone know what package the little wireless/networking menu in the top right corner of the ubuntu desktop fits under?
[20:50] <shadowflee> hey guys
[20:53] <timothyja> hi
[20:53] <shadowflee> hey
[20:53] <shadowflee> hows it going
[20:57] <_cronus__> systems, what is an atx switch?
[21:01] <Krakhed> for i in *.mp3; -- how can i make this command to scan not only the mp3s in that directory but sub directories also?
[21:02] <jrib> Krakhed: either use find or do "shopt -s globstar" and then you can use **
[21:02] <yeats> Krakhed: 'find . -name *.mp3 -print'?
[21:02] <climbzilla> hi there... still looking for an answer to my question.
[21:02] <climbzilla> My wifi has intermittent connectivity
[21:03] <climbzilla> full bars in the notification icon, but the browser regularly stops working
[21:03] <climbzilla> tried with chrome and with firefox
[21:03] <climbzilla> connection will stop working for a few minutes, then work again, then stop working for a few minutes...
[21:03] <shadowflee>  could be a isp problem
[21:03] <climbzilla> I have three other machines on here that all work
[21:04] <climbzilla> one is wired in, works great
[21:04] <Krakhed> this is my command -- for i in *.mp3; do vbrfix $i $i; done -- but only fixes the mp3 in that dir and not sub directory
[21:04] <climbzilla> two others are wireless, no issues.  on windows, mind you.
[21:04] <climbzilla> mine is the only linux/ubuntu machine on the network.
[21:04] <MonkeyDust> Krakhed  try the channel #bash
[21:05] <buzzkill> Krakhed:  you are only telling it to find the files in the current directory that are <zero or more characters>.mp3
[21:05] <trism> Krakhed: find . -name '*.mp3' -exec vbrfix {} {} \; perhaps?
[21:06] <Krakhed> trism: thank you that worked
[21:08] <yeats> climbzilla: I think you should look in /var/log/syslog for any relevant messages from around the time the connection drops
[21:09] <alexGla> hello guys, I need sql server on my Ubuntu machine for Android app, which one you would recommend?
[21:09] <ssfdre38> do you know why i cant use my pci wireless card anymore its a trendnet tew-443pi
[21:09] <gordonjcp> alexGla: What exactly are you trying to do?
[21:09] <buzzkill> alexGla:  what does the Android App require?
[21:10] <alexGla> gordonjcp, server for storing data and Android app manipulate this data
[21:10] <alexGla> meaning add/delete/upload
[21:11] <gordonjcp> alexGla: how does the android app communicate with the database?
[21:11] <buzzkill> alexGla:  the app should tell you which type of SQL database server you will need. SQL is supposed to be standardized, but the command set still differs between vendors.
[21:11] <alexGla> gordonjcp, through Internet
[21:12] <gordonjcp> alexGla: *how*?
[21:12] <alexGla> buzzkill, i am gonna create this app. there is no app yet
[21:12] <gordonjcp> alexGla: oh, you're starting from scratch?
[21:13] <alexGla> yes
[21:13] <siente> please tell me the best text editor without graphic environment?
[21:13] <dr_willis> siente:  vi or emacs
[21:13] <gordonjcp> siente: that's a whole can of worms
[21:13] <buzzkill> alexGla:  well, you will start a holy war by asking that question
[21:13] <MonkeyDust> siente  nano
[21:13] <climbzilla> yeats... should I look for something in particular?  brought up the syslog and it's a hot mess lol
[21:13] <buzzkill> you and siente are trying to double down on that right now
[21:13] <gordonjcp> alexGla: read up on REST
[21:14] <alexGla> buzzkill, ok, i just thought that there might be some constraints for android. i might go with mysql
[21:14] <alexGla> gordonjcp, sorry, what is REST?
[21:14] <genii-around> sien.te: For beginners, usually nano is good to start with. There is a long tradition of vi versus emacs however
[21:14] <genii-around> siente: ^
[21:14] <gordonjcp> alexGla: that's why I told you to read up on it ;-)
[21:15] <siente> thank you so much
[21:15] <siente> guys
[21:15] <yeats> climbzilla: maybe 'grep wlan0 /var/log/syslog'?
[21:15] <gordonjcp> alexGla: this is probably offtopic anyway
[21:15] <gordonjcp> alexGla: the easiest way to do this is to use some sort of web interface to a database
[21:15] <yeats> climbzilla: searching for the name of your network interface (which may not be 'wlan0') would be a start
[21:15] <gordonjcp> alexGla: lots of people use mysql, and indeed if you install the LAMP stack you'll get Apache, PHP and MySQl
[21:15] <Absolute0> %users   localhost=NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff <-- I still need to enter in the password
[21:15]  * buzzkill prefers vi. It is available on just about every *nix system and does not require control characters in order to manipulate files. Some terminal emulators, or if you work in a Virtualized environment may have issues with Control characters.
[21:15] <gordonjcp> alexGla: I don't like PHP or MySQL very much though
[21:16] <alexGla> gordonjcp, ok, i see
[21:16] <ssfdre38> does anybody know if there is a driver for the TRENDnet TEW-443PI wireless pci card cause from 11.10 to 12.04.01 LTS it broke

[21:22] <Jay27> Hello everyone
[21:22] <john_doe_jr> Does ubuntu have anything like susestudio.com?
[21:23] <seednode> You mean, a way to customize your ISO before installing?
[21:23] <john_doe_jr> yes
[21:23] <seednode> Not that I'm aware of. I can check, though.
[21:23] <seednode> Nothing official, though.
[21:23] <UbuntuRookie> Hey guys, I recently disabled automount since it messed with my kindle device and calibre but now it doesnt automount my external usb hdd. I have the "/dev/" but it mentions when trying to mount that I have to edit my fstab since there is no mention of it. Is that true? And what exactly do I have to input in fstab? :)
[21:23] <EgyParadox> !isitout
[21:26] <shadowflee> good day
[21:26] <john_doe_jr> seednode: suse studio is so incredibly awesome!
[21:26] <ItsAllGoneWierd> actionParsnip, hi, my brother downloaded som nvidia drivers that wrecked his laptop.. could he use the same script i got from u yesterday to fix his system?
[21:26] <seednode> john_doe_jr: I know, I've used it before.
[21:27] <seednode> john_doe_jr: However, I like to customize everything about my distro, so it's kinda redundant for me.
[21:28] <actionParsnip> ItsAllGoneWierd: that only removes package knowledge then redownloads them, doesn't fix video issues. You can boot to recovery root console and uninstall all nvidia drivers (but not nvidia-common) and be ok
[21:29] <Daphko> Hello, where can i find people which can help me with my ubuntu server?
[21:29] <Daphko> i have questions about security
[21:29] <ItsAllGoneWierd> actionParsnip, ok, ill try that, i think he can get to the terminal even..
[21:30] <climbzilla> actionParsnip: does that mean I'm not using ipv6?
[21:30] <Karlo_> I updated to 12.04; on reboot I got "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present".  As per a Web suggestion, I remounted / as readwrite, then tried "apt-get install -f" to deal with the broken packages.  This resulted a bunch of failure output (53*"X is not installed"; 5*"X is not installable"; 27*"[depends on X but] X' is installed").  I'm not very familiar with apt-get; what do I do now?
[21:30] <Ramtron> Hi, what's the command to update cinnamon?
[21:31] <ThinkT510> Ramtron: cinnamon isn't supported here
[21:31] <climbzilla> actionParsnip: here's the latest from my syslog.  Not sure what that last bit is all about... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285911/
[21:31] <Karlo_> The description of "apt-get install" led me to believe that it would automatically resolve things that were not already installed, so I'm puzzled by the first set of 53 errors.
[21:31] <Ramtron> buuut I can't figure out how to update it by command
[21:32] <obtrusivemouse> ThinkT510, so how do you update a program?
[21:32] <buzzkill> Ramtron: https://launchpad.net/~gwendal-lebihan-dev/+archive/cinnamon-stable
[21:33] <ThinkT510> obtrusivemouse: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:33] <ThinkT510> obtrusivemouse: that will get the latest from the repo
[21:34] <obtrusivemouse> ThinkT510, thanks
[21:34] <crimsonmane> Hello. Round 2. Let's begin: My system already has mscorefonts, but I'm not sure if these fonts are usable inside things like LibreOffice. I have created a template with user-input fields. The fields are flagged "hide input: no" thus when converted to PDF, I can type into these fields. However on a Windows computer these fields come up like hidden password fields and it's because the font doesn't exist on those computers.
[21:34] <crimsonmane> When converting to PDF I did select "embed fonts"
[21:37] <i_need_a_GF> hey guy
[21:37] <i_need_a_GF> s
[21:38] <actionParsnip> climbzilla: possibly. You could try disabling it with the boot option:  ipv6.disable=1
[21:38] <ssfdre38> does anybody know if there is a driver for the TRENDnet TEW-443PI wireless pci card cause from 11.10 to 12.04.01 LTS it broke
[21:39] <Daphko> can anybody pm me about server security?
[21:39] <jayar> so i messed somethin up... i just turned my computer off to blow it out with the air compressor, and now that its back up, the raid array doesnt show up
[21:40] <actionParsnip> jayar: check in BIOS / RAID controller settings, make sure the array is ok there
[21:40] <kickingvegas> ssfdre38: did you try looking it up on their website?
[21:40] <jayar> its software raid. setup when i installed ubuntu
[21:41] <jayar> its showing all disks, but one is listed (in disk utility) with errors in the label
[21:41] <TimothyA> eurgh... getting stuck with upstart. anyone here knows how to run a python script through upstart without it blocking the system?
[21:41] <jayar> and the serial numbers all weird... says disk has a few bad sectors too...
[21:42] <jayar> is there a disk check util i can use?
[21:44] <jayar> running fsck says superblock may be corrupt
[21:45] <salamie> hey  there - i was using the serverguide to setup samba - ldap on 12.04 and got stuck setting up smbldap-tools. i used the given example configurations because the configuration.pl ist missing - but during populate it shows "failed to add entry: modifications require authentication at /usr/sbin/smbldap-populate line 500." - any hints or ideas where to look/ask for help?
[21:54] <Karlo_> Trying this again.  I'm in single-user mode; "apt-get check" reports a bunch of errors.  Obviously, I can't correct them by installing new stuff, until I have a network.  Is it reasonable for me to correct the errors by removing stuff instead, and then letting it install the right stuff later on?
[21:55] <Guest95187> hey guys
[21:55] <Guest95187> anyone in here want to help me ?
[21:55] <seednode> With?
[21:55] <seednode> Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[21:55] <seednode> Or something.
[21:55] <RobbyF> does 12.10 come out today?
[21:56] <Guest95187> how can i install an ATI driver in my 12.04

[21:57] <Guest95187> the only one in the website is 64bit
[21:57] <unrar> Hi
[21:57] <RobbyF> gordonjcp, thanks, I was hoping early.. maybe even today EST.
[21:57] <gordonjcp> Guest95187: is your hardware 64-bit capable?
[21:57] <Guest95187> its not 64bit capable. and i used the 32bit installer if unbuntu 12.04

[22:00] <actionParsnip> rustler770: did you run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER      then make a samba password for the user
[22:00] <actionParsnip> rustler770: you can then autenticate as the user whom ran the command with the samba password you set
[22:00] <Braber01> question, is there a way to get a wireless driver from my machine to a virtual machine, my computer is to @#$%!ing new to support my wireless card.
[22:01] <Guest95187> so how can i install an ATI driver that ubuntu cant even detect?
[22:01] <Braber01> I've tried rsync andI got a code 12 Error.
[22:01] <gordonjcp> Braber01: What exactly are you trying to do?
[22:01] <rustler770> actionParsnip no, I'll try
[22:01] <actionParsnip> Braber01: the virtual OS will just see a wired connection via the host
[22:01] <actionParsnip> !ati | Guest95187
[22:02] <Braber01> actionParsnip: so I should see wlan0 if my host ifconfig has wlan0?
[22:02] <darkprincess> Does anyone know how to disable SSE3?
[22:02] <Braber01> or will it just see it as a wired connection?
[22:02] <actionParsnip> Braber01: no, it will use a virtualized wired network interface.
[22:02] <rustler770> wait...
[22:02] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: there may be a boot optio
[22:02] <actionParsnip> *option
[22:02] <darkprincess> How do I get the boot menu?
[22:03] <Mneumonic> Anyone know how long until I can expect more of the paid apps to be available in 12.10?  For Example the game Osmos.  I own it but it isn't compatible with 12.10
[22:03] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: hold SHIFT at boot, I'm not sure if the option is, or even if it exists
[22:03] <rustler770> I'll need to restart the server?
[22:03] <Mneumonic> It says "Purchased on 2012-09-19 but not available for your current Ubuntu version.
[22:03] <actionParsnip> Mneumonic: ask in #ubuntu+1
[22:03] <juniour_> hii
[22:03] <Mneumonic> alright, tried that but no one seems to be talking in that channel
[22:03] <actionParsnip> rustler770: no, the password is in the client

[22:05] <Braber01> actionparsnip: for some reason, the internet isn't working on my VM. >:(
[22:05] <Zybe> why do i get unable to locate package when i try to install some applications?
[22:06] <actionParsnip> Braber01: what are you using to virtualize?
[22:06] <Braber01> Virtual Box.
[22:06] <Braber01> The thing is networking worked last night and stuff.
[22:06] <actionParsnip> Braber01: did you try switching the network card in the system settings/ Did you try setting a bridged network?
[22:07] <OerHeks> Zybe what packages?
[22:07] <Guest95187> how to i install fglrx
[22:08] <actionParsnip> Guest95187: sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle fglrx
[22:09] <actionParsnip> rustler770: I'd ask in #samba
[22:09] <Braber01> actionParsnip: I can't find it. the truth is I'm using Backtrack, and the admins of Backtrack baned me because I asked about White Hat hacking, they think I want to get back at people who bullied me.
[22:09] <actionParsnip> Braber01: backtrack isn't supported here
[22:09] <Braber01> actionParsnip: I know, the admins of that channel are jerks.
[22:09] <Karlo_> Do I need to be on the network in order to use "apt-get check"?
[22:10] <rustler770> I'll find it
[22:10] <actionParsnip> Braber01: I'd take it up in #freenode
[22:10] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I'm back
[22:10] <gordonjcp> Braber01: backtrack sucks
[22:10] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Now I'm gonna need a bit of help
[22:10] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I'm trying to install Linux MultiMedia Studio.
[22:10] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Any help?
[22:10] <genii-around> os
[22:10] <actionParsnip> Karlo_: after reading the man page, it seems so
[22:10] <Guest95187> i cant install udo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle fglrx
[22:11] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: oh, you mean lmms?
[22:11] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Yes I do
[22:11] <Zybe> OerHeks: Im trying to install wireshark
[22:11] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I'm going to make some drum beats to go with my guitar
[22:11] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: it's in the repos. you can install it with:  sudo apt-get install lmms
[22:11] <Hishamoto_Masuki> :O
[22:11] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Thanks, dude
[22:12] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Thanks, Action
[22:12] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Seeya
[22:12] <OerHeks> !info wireshark
[22:12] <Guest95187> i get this error when trying to execute this command "sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle fglrx"  No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
[22:12] <Karlo_> I guess it's worth a try.  Uh, how do I bring up the network, from single-user mode?  It's been ages since I've had to play around at this level.
[22:12] <OerHeks> Zybe, it should be in the repo's.
[22:14] <Zybe> OerHeks: I'm typing sudo apt/get install wireshark and I get unable to locate package wireshark
[22:14] <OerHeks> Zybe, try apt-get
[22:14] <Zybe> not / should be -
[22:14] <Zybe> wrong keyboard layout i mean - not /
[22:14] <actionParsnip> Zybe: do you have the universe repo enabled?
[22:15] <Zybe> do not know, new to the linux scene
[22:15] <OerHeks> Zybe, what version do you us ? type: " cat /etc/issues/ "in terminal
[22:15] <darkprincess> Nope.
[22:15] <darkprincess> That didn't do it.
[22:16] <WeThePeople> where does restored trash go?
[22:16] <actionParsnip> Zybe: you can check in software centre, or you can uncomment the lines relating to the universe repo in /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:16] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Hey
[22:16] <Zybe> OerHeks: that did now give me anything, cat: /etc/issues/: No such file or directory
[22:16] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Back again.
[22:16] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I need to learn how to install a couple more softwares
[22:16] <Hishamoto_Masuki> How can I install:
[22:16] <OerHeks> Zybe that is not the command i gave you
[22:16] <Hishamoto_Masuki> IFSCL, (paradoxe-upsilon.fr is the address for link)
[22:17] <Hishamoto_Masuki> and TeamSpeak 3?
[22:17] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Any help here?
[22:17] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I'm a Linux newb lol ._.
[22:18] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: why the 'lol'?
[22:18] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I dunno.
[22:18] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I guess you're right, it's stupid, but can you help me?
[22:18] <darkprincess> Ok. So I need to disable libdevil SSE3 Interactions
[22:18] <darkprincess> Any ideas?
[22:18] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak
[22:18] <ElixirVitae> Hi #ubuntu.
[22:19] <ElixirVitae> Something I always wondered
[22:19] <gordonjcp> darkprincess: what makes you think you need to do that?
[22:19] <darkprincess> I'm using early P4
[22:19] <ElixirVitae> Why are there different versions of the same program for different versions of ubuntu?
[22:19] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Now about the IFSCL? paradoxe-upsilon.fr is where I get the jar
[22:19] <darkprincess> Seems like its messing up FTL.
[22:19] <Hishamoto_Masuki> So how do I install it?
[22:19] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Not jar, AIR file, rather
[22:19] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: adobe air doesn't run in Linux
[22:20] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: it did, then it was dropper by adobe
[22:20] <actionParsnip> *dropped
[22:20] <darkprincess> Any ideas gordonjcp ?
[22:20] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I have the old version
[22:20] <Hishamoto_Masuki> So I will never install IFSCL? :/
[22:20] <Zybe> OerHeks: 22:15 < OerHeks> Zybe, what version do you us ? type: " cat /etc/issues/ " in terminal <-- I type cat /etc/issues/ in terminal... and get cat: /etc/issues/: No such file or directory
[22:21] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: what is IFSCL?
[22:21] <Hishamoto_Masuki> It is a simulator...
[22:21] <Pinkamena_D> hello, i was here before i was trying to get grub to default back to the ubuntu install. someone gave me two quick commands to do it
[22:21] <Hishamoto_Masuki> For a supercomputer off of my favourite anime
[22:21] <Pinkamena_D> but i forgot them..
[22:22] <OerHeks> Zybe my bad :(  > cat /etc/issue/
[22:22] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: if it uses adobe air then no, you may find an old version of adobe air online, but I doubt it will work
[22:22] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Ehh.
[22:22] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Is there any other program that supports AIR files?
[22:23] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: no, they are proprietary to adobe
[22:23] <Zybe> OerHeks: ubuntu 12.04.1
[22:24] <Fated> quit
[22:24] <darkprincess> So no one knows how to disable libdevil's SSE3 interactions?
[22:24] <darkprincess> https://getsatisfaction.com/ftlgame/topics/linux_illegal_instruction_crash_solved
[22:24] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Last question
[22:24] <darkprincess> It seems like I need to get the source and compile it without it, but I have no idea how to do that.
[22:24] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: I found this: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/04/06/how-to-install-adobe-air-on-ubuntu/
[22:24] <Hishamoto_Masuki> How do I install .rpm files?
[22:24] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I need to install Hamachi
[22:24] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Oh cool thanks
[22:24] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: may work, I doubt it
[22:25] <actionParsnip> !info hamachi
[22:25] <actionParsnip> !find hamachi
[22:25] <Hishamoto_Masuki> kk
[22:25] <actionParsnip> Hishamoto_Masuki: hamachi looks like a VPN to me
[22:25] <Hishamoto_Masuki> brb
[22:26] <jakemp> Is there an easy way to get perfmon working in Ubuntu?
[22:26] <jakemp> or something else that measures performance counters without having to alter the source code?
[22:27] <actionParsnip> jakemp: do you mean like CPU use and so forth?
[22:27] <jakemp> I mean performance counters
[22:28] <ubuntu> hi, how can i make ubuntu the default grub boot OS
[22:28] <jakemp> they can measure CPU performance, cache misses, number of cycles, number of loads and stores, etc.
[22:28] <OerHeks> Zybe my bad :(  > cat /etc/issue
[22:28] <actionParsnip> Guest21653: what is the default now?
[22:28] <OerHeks> Zybe oeps, check the suggestion from actionParsnip , do you have universe enabled ?
[22:28] <Guest21653> backtrack
[22:29] <jakemp> I know intel has a nice tool for measuring the performance counters and power consumption, but aside from perfmon, I see nothing from AMD
[22:29] <Guest21653> i was here before and someone solved this easy it was just like "something-grub" then "update-grub"
[22:29] <Thisguy_> I'm helping someone set their server up with a firewall. They downloaded an executable text file to config it for them but it has a line I don't think makes any sense...
[22:29] <actionParsnip> Guest21653: if you run: cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom    do you see anything about ubuntu or backtrack?
[22:29] <Thisguy_> $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 44 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT - where $IPT is /sbin/iptables
[22:30] <Thisguy_> Is it me or is it saying to allow packets going OUT in the INPUT chain?
[22:30] <Guest21653> 1 sec
[22:30] <actionParsnip> Guest21653: do you only have ubuntu and backtrack installed?
[22:30] <darkprincess> Anyone know how to disable libdevil sse3 interactions? I need to disable as it is stopping a game from running because my processor doesn't support SSE3 interactions
[22:30] <Zybe> Just activated it, and I do find the application in the software center. But still not when using apt-get, and now I can install the software. But I would like to know what to do to be able to use the apt-get command in terminal.
[22:31] <Thisguy_> Does using --dport on the INPUT table in iptables make any sense?
[22:31] <Guest21653> yes
[22:31] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: you may need to compile the lib and disable the feature
[22:31] <Guest21653> it does not show ubuntu or backtrack with that command
[22:31] <Thisguy_> Hm
[22:31] <darkprincess> How do I do that?
[22:31] <Zybe> Do I have to type anything in my terminal to update the repos? OerHeks
[22:31] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: you'll need the source and compile it
[22:31] <soroush> I've made an ubuntu usb stick but when I change any option in its grub, I see only a gray screen and the usbuntu 12.04 light goes off. I have an asus ubuntu certified laptop. I deleted the partitions to install us
[22:32] <OerHeks> Zybe, do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wireshark " would solve it
[22:32] <soroush> to install ubuntu 12.04
[22:32] <Guest21653> yes, i only have ubuntu and backtrack installed
[22:33] <Guest21653> the problem is whenever you install one of these debian based ones it seems to make itself the default
[22:33] <Guest21653> i just want to change the default back to ubuntu
[22:34] <Guest21653> anyone??
[22:34] <blackshirt> yes
[22:34] <Costeelation> guys
[22:34] <Guest21653> ?
[22:35] <Zybe> OerHeks: Yes it did, thanks for the help :D, just one last question, does what does && do?
[22:35] <Zybe> minus one "does"
[22:35] <actionParsnip> Guest21653: I'd ask in #grub as well
[22:35] <Costeelation> someone know the name of the app for change the gtk+ color  ? i don't like the orange :(
[22:36] <OerHeks> Zybe, it is used to perform 2 actions on 1 line, " ;  " will do the same
[22:36] <darkprincess> actionParsnip how do I configure and compile a RPM file
[22:36] <OerHeks> Zybe have fun
[22:36] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: rpm isn't for Ubuntu
[22:37] <Karlo_> Zybe, the difference is that "X; Y" always executes Y after X, while "X && Y" will only execute Y if X completed successfully.
[22:38] <Zybe> OerHeks: This Linux thing will probly end up with me pulling half my hair out and rocking back and forth in a corner.... but I will try :D
[22:38] <OerHeks> Karlo_, nice, thanks, i didn't know that.
[22:38] <MrJacobi33> haha zybe, i feel the same
[22:38] <systems> i am trying to put an atx switch on a serial header inorder for ubuntu to run a script once the switch is triggered. Is this even possible???
[22:38] <MrJacobi33> ~MrJacobi33
[22:39] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: you can grab source debs from the repos
[22:39] <darkprincess> What repo?
[22:40] <darkprincess> !find libdevil
[22:40] <Zybe> !q
[22:41] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: the same one you got the binary deb from
[22:43] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: sudo apt-get source install libdevil1c2; sudo apt-get install libdevil-dev
[22:43] <darkprincess> How do I configure those?
[22:43] <qmanjr5> Does Wubi install on another partition as the current Windows installation, or does ir overwrite it?
[22:44] <darkprincess> It doesn't install on a another partition afaik.
[22:44] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: you'll need to read the readme file, see how you can disable sse3
[22:44] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: no, it extracts the source to the pwd
[22:45] <darkprincess> I need to build it with --disable-sse3 added to the configure command.
[22:45] <darkprincess> But I have no clue how to do that.
[22:46] <Adior> :|
[22:46] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: install the build-essential package too
[22:47] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: the configure command will be in the source code you downloaded
[22:47] <ccbn> Hello, I'm looking for assistance with using clvm to lock Logical Volumes on an LVM Volume Group shared by 2 machines via fibre channel.
[22:47] <darkprincess> You'll need to elaberate on the build-essential package.
[22:48] <cha0s_> I recently downloaded miro and it became my default bit torrent app but i want to make transmission the default again any help?
[22:50] <zykotick9> qmanjr5: neither.  wubi installs to a file, inside windows.  IMO wubi = fail.  best of luck.
[22:50] <ccbn> darkprincess: what elaboration do you need on the build-essentials package?
[22:51] <darkprincess> Where do I get it?
[22:51] <ccbn> darkprincess: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[22:51] <darkprincess> apt-get install build-essenstial?
[22:51] <ccbn> darkprincess: yes
[22:51] <jayar> anyone ever use Testdisk?
[22:51] <ccbn> darkprincess: what is your end goal?
[22:51] <actionParsnip> darkprincess: its a package, to be installed, what more is there to elaborate
[22:51] <darkprincess> Unable to locate.
[22:52] <ccbn> darkprincess: sudo apt-get update
[22:52] <actionParsnip> !info build-essential | darkprincess
[22:52] <Pici> darkprincess: you need to spell it properly.
[22:52] <celso_> is ubuntu 12.10 already out?
[22:52] <DaemonicApathy> Tomorrow.
[22:52] <actionParsnip> celso_: ask in #ubuntu+1
[22:52] <celso_> thanks.
[22:52] <EyePulp> howdy - I just dropped a foo.conf file in /etc/init/ for a new upstart script, but sudo service foo start doesn't seem to know the file exists.  Is there some sort of refresh interval for the contents od /etc/init/ ?
[22:52] <somethingoranoth> Question.
[22:53] <darkprincess> ccbn: To rebuild libdevil with it configured with --disable-sse3
[22:53] <ccbn> darkprincess: I recommend installing the 'bash-completion' packages from the repositories as well. It will allow you to tab-complete package names rather than risk mispelling.
[22:53] <EyePulp> the actual error is "start: Unknown job: foo"
[22:53] <celso_> another question: is it normal to have no sound playing and hearing some noise on my headphones? shouldn't that be off?
[22:53] <Pici> ccbn: bash-completion is part of standard, it should be installed by default.
[22:54] <somethingoranoth> If I was to uninstall lightdm what all would I have to run from a login terminal to get x and my window manager (openbox) and whatever else I'd need to run?
[22:54] <zykotick9> somethingoranoth: "startx"
[22:54] <ccbn> darkprincess: I've actually had to do this for squid enough to write up a wiki article that may help you. https://apps.education.ucsb.edu/wiki/Rebuild_Debian_packages_with_altered_./configure_options
[22:54] <jrib> somethingoranoth: startx and a sane ~/.xinitrc
[22:54] <ccbn> Pici: I thought it might be the case.
[22:55] <somethingoranoth> startx by itself literally just starts x without a WM or Desktop environment for me though..
[22:55] <jrib> somethingoranoth: so create a ~/.xinitrc
[22:55] <zykotick9> somethingoranoth: check jrib's ~/.xinitrc suggestion
[22:56] <zykotick9> somethingoranoth: side note, do you use wireless?
[22:56] <stuck109> can someone recommend a word application that can read and write .pdf?  I have open office and is not reading the file
[22:57] <celso_> Maybe master PDF editor?
[22:59] <darkprincess> ccbn: I think I've got this.
[22:59] <celso_> @ stuck109  try Master PDF editor
[22:59] <jayar> anyone know TestDisk? i'm close to restoring the backup, just not sure what to select here...
[23:00] <ccbn> jayar: what options is it giving you
[23:00] <jayar> heres a pastebin of the screen
[23:00] <jayar> http://pastebin.com/UPvRr1Rn
[23:00] <Braber01> stuck109: you could try to learn LaTeX I've learned it but of corse I love learning new languages. I don't know about you.
[23:00] <darkprincess> ccbn: What do I do after configuring?
[23:01] <jayar> if i select D (deleted) it says structure ok, but does that mean it will restore the deleted partition, or delete the partition?
[23:01] <darkprincess> Build?
[23:01] <john_doe_jr> How do you find the dependancies of a certain package?
[23:01] <MonkeyDust> stuck109  try inkscape
[23:01] <jrib> john_doe_jr: « apt-cache depends PACKAGE » but why?
[23:02] <john_doe_jr> jrib
[23:02] <john_doe_jr> jrib: well, I'm trying to install a deb package on ubuntu using alien
[23:02] <jrib> john_doe_jr: why?  What package?  alien is *bad*
[23:02] <ccbn> darkprincess: sudo debuild -us -uc -b in the libdevil directory that was downloaded when you did apt-get source
[23:02] <darkprincess> And thats all?
[23:02] <john_doe_jr> jrib: I'm beginning to realize that alien is bad…
[23:03] <ccbn> darkprincess: and then find the generated .deb file and run 'sudo dpkg -i ./libdevil-xyz.deb'
[23:03] <john_doe_jr> jrib: here's the package: http://code.google.com/p/nofolder/downloads/detail?name=ifolder3-enterprise-3.8.0.10191.1-3.1.x86_64.rpm&can=2&q=label%3AServer-64
[23:03] <darkprincess> debuild: command not found.
[23:04] <ccbn> darkprincess: sudo apt-get install devscripts
[23:04] <ccbn> darkprincess: then do the debuild step again
[23:04] <jrib> ccbn: it's a good idea to do a "dch -i", document your change, and append something like "~ccbn1" to the package version too. Also, the "./configure" step is not necessary and neither is "sudo" for "apt-get source"
[23:04] <ccbn> jrib: thanks for the input, I should clarify that this isn't best practice, just something that has worked in the past. I'll update the article
[23:06] <nydel> is 12.10 available for wubi installs yet
[23:08] <darkprincess> ccbn: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b failed
[23:08] <ccbn> darkprincess: are you root?
[23:08] <darkprincess> Yep.
[23:09] <jrib> darkprincess: you shouldn't be root
[23:09] <jrib> though that's probably not the cause of your failed build...
[23:09] <ccbn> jrib: I actually did this to the clvm package yesterday and I couldn't get debuild to work without root privs, what gives?
[23:10] <jrib> ccbn: probably related to grabbing the sources as root
[23:10] <ccbn> jrib: that makes sense :/
[23:10] <darkprincess> Same without root.
[23:11] <obtrusivemouse> hi i have a questions about wm's
[23:11] <jilebedev> Hi - quick question: can you recommend a good command-line tool for an overview of the physical disk devices, their partitions, and software RAID devices and their partitions on ubuntu? lshw's doesn't really tell me what software RAID devices are configured on my server.
[23:11] <jrib> obtrusivemouse: just ask
[23:11] <jrib> john_doe_jr: you specifically need this software and not some software that does something similar (sync folders)?
[23:11] <obtrusivemouse> jcrib, http://xenull.deviantart.com/art/gStruct-Archlinux-OB-busy-303424639 what kind of wm is that and can i have it work on ubuntu?
[23:11] <ccbn> darkprincess: is it giving you any output other than 'failed'
[23:12] <zykotick9> jilebedev: (i don't do raid) but does "df -h" or just "mount" help you at all?
[23:12] <SolarisBoy> jilebedev: df , fdisk
[23:12] <obtrusivemouse> jcrib, also is there any power/ resource advantages to these minimalist wm's?
[23:12] <john_doe_jr> jrib: my boss wants me to install it on an Ubuntu Server
[23:13] <Treaver> Wow. I thought that Ubuntu 12.10 LTS was being released today
[23:13] <zykotick9> obtrusivemouse: obviously.  basically every WM is lighter then lxde, SO you have more resources to run your programs.
[23:14] <jrib> john_doe_jr: is this helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderInstall (check for outdated advice)
[23:14] <john_doe_jr> jrib: I know but I'm getting dependencies problems when I follow that guide
[23:14] <obtrusivemouse> so is there a recommended wm  for ubuntu or do you just go with whatever?
[23:14] <Treaver> Awe they changed the date to tomorrow.
[23:15] <jrib> john_doe_jr: can you be more specific?
[23:15] <zykotick9> obtrusivemouse: try them all.  find one you like.
[23:15] <darkprincess> Unity is derping out
[23:15] <john_doe_jr> jrib: well I deleted my virtual machine so I don't have the error message
[23:15] <darkprincess> Gimi 2 secs
[23:16] <jrib> john_doe_jr: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/ifolder-ubuntu-debian-dev has some recent posts
[23:16] <obtrusivemouse> zykotick9, so i already posted this earlier but can you tell me what this is? http://xenull.deviantart.com/art/gStruct-Archlinux-OB-busy-303424639 i'd like to get something like that
[23:16] <jrib> john_doe_jr: this is good too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iFolderPackaging
[23:17] <zykotick9> obtrusivemouse: fluxbox or openbox would be my "guess".
[23:17] <Treaver> Jogn it's a Architecture for Linux
[23:17] <Treaver> It basically changes what everything (windows, colors, icons) look like

[23:19] <obtrusivemouse> zykotick9, .xdefaults config * soory about that
[23:20] <john_doe_jr> jrib: thanks..I'm just going to try it again and I'll post the errors I'm getting
[23:20] <jrib> did your cat attack you or something obtrusivemouse
[23:20] <Treaver> @Ubuntu when is 12.10 being released what time tomorrow?
[23:21] <jrib> Treaver: when it's ready
[23:21] <obtrusivemouse> jcrib, sounds about right
[23:21] <alecb> how can I stop NetworkManager from running on startup/just kill it once I've already started?
[23:22] <darkprincess> Err dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.

[23:22] <zykotick9> obtrusivemouse: i doubt that's awesome (but i guess it could be).  i use awesome, here is a pic of my current desktop http://imagebin.org/232328
[23:23] <ccbn> darkprincess: sudo apt-get build-dep libdevil and then try building again
[23:23] <ccbn> darkprincess: this should install dependencies for building libdevil, which the error message seems to say you lack
[23:24] <jrib> zykotick9: how can you follow #ubuntu irc without colored names :x
[23:25] <darkprincess> !find libdevil
[23:25] <zykotick9> jrib: coloured names, i didn't even use that when i used xchat ;)
[23:25] <iceroot> how to see which connection (wlan or eth0) is used by default for communication with the router on 192.168.178.1? route output http://pastebin.com/HBUQmTi2
[23:26] <iceroot> ah first lind.... must be blind
[23:26] <iceroot> line
[23:26] <ccbn> darkprincess: the 'apt-file' tool might be of use to you. you can do 'apt-file search filename' to figure out what package has a particular file
[23:26] <nydel> from terminal, ls command (or other) to see (readable) size of a directory inode & its contents?
[23:27] <nydel> please & thank you
[23:27] <jrib> nydel: uh, does "du -s" do what you want?
[23:28] <nydel> jrib: yes. well, du -sh, the h for human-readable
[23:28] <nydel> jrib: thank you very kindly
[23:28] <nydel> appreciated
[23:28] <nydel> there are so many little linux commands i never picked up yet. now i get to mess around with du until it leads me to the next thing. i love information!
[23:29] <jrib> !rute | nydel
[23:29] <jrib> nydel: if you haven't browsed the rute book, you'd probably enjoy it
[23:29] <Dinomuffin> nydel: you should hang around here then, I find I learn new things everytime I come here
[23:29] <Dinomuffin> like apt-file :D
[23:30] <nydel> jrib: well thank you! that's just wonderful stuff!
[23:30] <systems> i am trying to put an atx switch on a serial header inorder for ubuntu to run a script once the switch is triggered. Is this even possible???
[23:30] <nydel> Dinomuffin: this place is really turning into a warm & respectable place. it's one of the last beacons of hope on all of IRC (& intraweb)
[23:30] <nydel> :)
[23:31] <Radikal08> I still cant believe I have a partition with Ubuntu 9.04 installed on this pc, after so many years
[23:31] <john_doe_jr> jrib: Alright I'm @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderInstall and I'm @ the 'Installing Simias' …I 'sudo dpkg -i libsimias*deb simias-client*deb' command…all I have a checked out source code folder named simias-1.8.3.10200.0…when I change directory (cd) into that folder it contains a autogen.sh…how do I get the simias software installed..any ideas?
[23:31] <systems> how do ubuntu server into a smtp server????
[23:32] <Pulgafree> Good Morning/Afternoon/Evenning EVERYONE!
[23:32] <jrib> systems: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/email-services.html
[23:32] <darkprincess> ccbn: checking SSE3... yes
[23:32] <Pulgafree> A former Windows user says HI!
[23:33] <darkprincess> ccbn: Even after ./configure --disable-sse3
[23:33] <Radikal08> A former Mac user says Hello!
[23:33] <Radikal08> We come from all different paths in the world
[23:33] <Dinomuffin> Current Windows Mac and Linux user saying hi
[23:33] <Dinomuffin> I don't like to limit myself
[23:33] <Dinomuffin> :P
[23:33] <jrib> john_doe_jr: did you receive any errors when you installed the .deb packages you created?
[23:33] <ccbn> darkprincess: you have to edit the rules file, as jrib pointed out, the ./configure step is basically worthless
[23:33] <zykotick9> Radikal08: do you have an ubuntu support question?  if so, ask away (all on one line, with details).
[23:33] <nhck> systems: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[23:34] <Radikal08> Man same here,its just that my macbook has stopped working :( so i run windows and ubuntu on this map :(
[23:34] <Radikal08> Oh no, not yet.. sorry, i thought i could chat here..
[23:34] <Pulgafree> Me neither. I have Windows 7 on my laptop too. But Ubuntu/Linux is just way better than Windows.
[23:34] <darkprincess> Where do I get that?
[23:34] <zykotick9> !ot
[23:34] <darkprincess> ./find?
[23:34] <ccbn> darkprincess: are you on 12.04?
[23:34] <Dinomuffin> oh yeah, i forgot about ubuntu-offtopic
[23:34] <darkprincess> Yep.
[23:34] <Dinomuffin> :/
[23:34] <Radikal08> Thank you, and i apologize
[23:34] <john_doe_jr> jrib: yes but the website says to just use sudo apt-get -f install to install it
[23:34] <Pulgafree> Me too
[23:34] <alecb> how can I stop NetworkManager from running on startup/just kill it once I've already started?
[23:35] <jrib> john_doe_jr: what errors did you get?
[23:35] <ccbn> I had typed in 'libd' and tab completed it looking for libdevil, there were 666 possibilities, haha
[23:35] <jrib> alecb: forever?  One way is to just uninstall it I guess.  I don't know the "right" way
[23:35] <darkprincess> Lol
[23:35] <zykotick9> alecb: 1st - why do you want to stop N-M from running?  2nd - using interfaces file should disable N-M for that device.
[23:35] <john_doe_jr> jrib: libsimias*deb cannot access archive: no such file or directory
[23:35] <ccbn> darkprincess: did you apt-get source the libdevil1c2 package or the dev package
[23:36] <alecb> jrib: trying to avoid an uninstall. I'm trying to experiment with some stuff -- want to make sure nothing is trying to connect to a network except me
[23:36] <nydel> jrib: just got mozilla to gunzip the website (rute user's tuto..) -- is "rute" a cute spelling of "root"?
[23:36] <Radikal08> I do have a question actually. Ubuntu 12.04.01 doesnt run very well on my computer. This version is alot cleaner than 9.04 that I usd with different graphical tweaks (compiz or gnome??)... I dont know why the last version is slow.. I wonder if there is any easy way to speed it up by disabling processes that i might not need or so? I hope this is a common issue and that maybe someone knows what to do.. if not, i guess my cmoputer is
[23:36] <Radikal08>  just to slow for it
[23:36] <darkprincess> libdebil1c2
[23:36] <darkprincess> libdevil1c2*
[23:36] <markovh> there seems to be a lot of posts out there on hack job fixes on package authentication errors. Is there a guide or can someone tell me exactly what causes this error. How are packages normally authenticated? Is it getting a signature for the file that it's about to download and checking if it's been signed by a public key it has in store or something?
[23:36] <alecb> zykotick9: want to try connecting to a wifi network with just iwconfig/iwlist/etc, and I want to be sure nothing except me is trying to connect to a network
[23:36] <nydel> Radikal08: i would recommend that you turn off all compiz effects and disable ALL desktop/window effects
[23:36] <ccbn> darkprincess: you need to cd into the devil folder than gets created, then into the debian folder, there's a rules file in there that has sse3 enabled by default
[23:37] <nydel> Radikal08: myself, i have switched to cinnamon. you can get the package with apt-get or aptitude. or just use gnome. also there are other managers other than unity (that is what you are using) which are much less graphics-heavy
[23:37] <jrib> nydel: yes, though I don't know if there's some other meaning I am not aware of
[23:37] <zykotick9> alecb: i've never manually setup wifi sorry, don't know the specifics for it.  i use wicd on my netbook (unfortunatly, you should consider wicd deprecated)
[23:37] <john_doe_jr> jrib: should I just ./autogen.sh —prefix=/usr -sysconfdir=/etc
[23:37] <nydel> Radikal08: how important is it to you that your computer look flashy
[23:37] <cdavis> What time zone does 12.10 get release in?
[23:37] <Radikal08> Nydel: I have CompizConfig Settings manager... I know how to disable the window effects, but could you help me how to disable the desktop and cmopiz effects?
[23:37] <Radikal08> Nydel: it is not very important
[23:37] <jrib> cdavis: when it's ready
[23:37] <darkprincess> ccbn: so how do I disable it?
[23:38] <alecb> zykotick9: from some stuff I read it didn't seem that complicated, once you know the essid and the key its just one iwconfig command
[23:38] <alecb> anyway, what's the interfaces file I'd want to edit?
[23:38] <darkprincess> !find cinnamon
[23:38] <nydel> Radikal08: cinnamon is small, and it's beautiful - i really think yo should just try that.
[23:38] <nydel> darkprincess: i think you can just apt-get install cinnamon
[23:38] <noiro> moo
[23:38] <nydel> Radikal08: are you opposed to trying somethign other than unity/compiz?
[23:39] <darkprincess> Nope, can't locate package.
[23:39] <zykotick9> alecb: honestly, jrib's uninstall do disable is almost the official ubuntu method :(  but renaming the /etc/init/N-M script to N-M.disabled and reboot should also work.
[23:39] <darkprincess> I heard compiz messes with fullscreen games.
[23:39] <Radikal08> Nydel: I can try something else, because to be honest im not very into compiz/unity as i dont know what it raelly is at the moment
[23:39] <nydel> darkprincess: you have to add the linux mint repo's - i forgot
[23:39] <jilebedev> zykotick9: SolarisBoy hey, thanks for the df recommendation. df -hT, parted -l, and lshw -l are what I needed.
[23:40] <zykotick9> alecb: n-m may or may-not get in the way of that iwconfig though - i don't know.  if you used /etc/network/interfaces i know N-M will be disabled.  best of luck!
[23:40] <sebsebseb> hi
[23:40] <cdavis> jrib: Are you trying to be nasty or sincere?
[23:40] <noiro> anyone tried running GW2 in wine? I am getting a clear box on booting it with a massive graphics driver error in Term.
[23:40] <nydel> Radikal08: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/01/05/how-to-install-cinnamon-in-ubuntu-11-10/
[23:40] <jrib> cdavis: serious
[23:40] <zykotick9> jilebedev: glad to help ;)
[23:40] <cdavis> jrib: ok, thanks
[23:40] <stuck109> can someone recommend a user friendly defrag app?
[23:40] <sebsebseb> !defrag
[23:40] <jrib> cdavis: there's never been a fixed release time.  Afaik, that's still true for tomorrow
[23:40] <Radikal08> Nydel: Thank you, I will check it otu!
[23:40] <sebsebseb> stuck109: see above
[23:40] <sebsebseb> :)
[23:40] <Dinomuffin> stuck109: why do you need a defrag app? Just curious
[23:41] <nydel> Radikal08: i sent the wrong link
[23:41] <nydel> Radikal08: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61
[23:41] <alecb> zykotick9: wait, what I do to /etc/network/interfaces?
[23:41] <sebsebseb> hi zykotick9
[23:41] <cdavis> jrib: k, I am hoping to get up early and start the download before heading for work
[23:41] <nydel> see the link under ubuntu for the correct repo. don't be intimidated, it is SO worth it. i LOVE my ubuntu install now that i got rid of unity.
[23:41] <sebsebseb> nydel: and replaced with?
[23:41] <ccbn> darkprincess: did you do the apt-get source libdevil1c2?
[23:42] <nydel> sebsebseb: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61
[23:42] <darkprincess> Yep.
[23:42] <noiro> Unity is crap. :P  I'm just not a fan of KDE (it just looks so...bubbly)
[23:42] <nydel> sebsebseb: cinnamon
[23:42] <sebsebseb> noiro: oh right ok :)
[23:42] <nydel> beautiful beautiful cinnamon!!
[23:42] <somethingoranoth> hey everyone quick question
[23:42] <stuck109> running dually with windows
[23:42] <ccbn> darkprincess: cd into the devil directory that was created, and then into the debian directory in there
[23:42] <nydel> love it! it should be a fallback default for if (read: when) compiz fails
[23:42] <darkprincess> Ok.
[23:42] <jrib> john_doe_jr: so you did the bzr branch step?  And did mk-build-deps work ok?
[23:42] <somethingoranoth> I removed lightdm earlier and type up a .xinitrc script to use instead
[23:43] <noiro> sebsebseb: ?  This is the first time I"ve tried giving Ubuntu a shot at gaming without having to boot into Win for gaming. :P
[23:43] <somethingoranoth> unfortunately upon removing lightdm Ubuntu failed to bood properly
[23:43] <john_doe_jr> jrib: yup…I'm @ the last step
[23:43] <jrib> somethingoranoth: in what way?
[23:43] <sebsebseb> noiro: oh ok :)
[23:43] <darkprincess> ccbn: Then?
[23:43] <zykotick9> alecb: honestly, for wireless - perhaps nothing.  i've never setup wireless manually before!  sorry, i'm useless.  BUT if any of the wireless setup requires editing that file - then N-M will be disabled.  good luck man.
[23:43] <jrib> john_doe_jr: by "last step", you mean the "sudo dpkg -i simias-build-deps_1.0_all.deb"?  Or later?
[23:43] <ccbn> darkprincess: now, edit the rules file in that folder, adding line 10 from this pastebin into the relevant spot: http://pastebin.com/08PGHjqV
[23:44] <ccbn> darkprincess: that's just a snippet, just add that line, don't delete lines not shown
[23:44] <noiro> zykotick9: I'd like to think ubuntu manual wireless setup would be far more simplistic than Arch at least. Usually just connect it to a cable and update the system.
[23:44] <somethingoranoth> I'm using 12.10 I noticed it ran a few more steps in the boot process after saying lightdm loading failed then it would just hang at one of the options (usually stopping mount filesystems or something along those lines)
[23:44] <john_doe_jr> jrib: nope sudo dpkg -i libsimias*deb simias-client*deb
[23:44] <xangua> !12.10 | somethingoranoth
[23:44] <ccbn> darkprincess: then save the file and run debuild or whatever package builder you are using
[23:45] <somethingoranoth> ugh...
[23:45] <zykotick9> noiro: i'd think so as well ;)
[23:45] <somethingoranoth> I'm sure its not a problem with Quantal though.
[23:45] <jrib> john_doe_jr: was there interesting output from bzr-buildpackage?
[23:45] <zoktar> hmm one of my monitors is having issue granting correctly formated , "EDID block does NOT conform to EDID 1.3!" as such it only gets 2 resolutions. i read that i have to "fix" the edid from windows. Is my monitor faulty or is it just the edid code reading it wrong?. http://pastebin.com/8A40HPYN
[23:45] <noiro> I ran Arch for 3 months and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I learned a ton, mind you, but it just isn't worth it in the long run.
[23:45] <john_doe_jr> jrib: nothing that the documentation didn't state would happen
[23:46] <ccbn> darkprincess: make sure you add the "\" on the preceeding line as well
[23:46] <jrib> john_doe_jr: yet you have no .debs created in ../build-area?
[23:46] <john_doe_jr> jrib: yup exactly
[23:46] <darkprincess> --enable-sse3=no \ ?
[23:47] <zykotick9> noiro: discussing arch (or even ubuntu) is offtopic here.  see "/msg ubottu ot" in your irc client, and look for a pm from ubottu
[23:47] <alecb> oh, help.ubuntu has a section on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Disabling_NetworkManager
[23:47] <nydel> question: even though i have firefox set as my default browser, most programs are opening urls in midori -- why is this & how do i fix it?
[23:47] <nydel> thank you & please.
[23:47] <jrib> john_doe_jr: let me try here I guess
[23:47] <ccbn> darkprincess: you don't need the "\" on that line, it's the last line. you need it on what is line 9 in the paste bin output
[23:48] <michealPW> zoktar: It could mean that your monitor's EDID code is wrong. I've never heard of that happening but I'm sure it's possible. In that case I think you would have to have a generic xorg.conf created and manually add your monitor's supported modes. You can generate modes easily with the gtf tool (Generalized Timing Formula)
[23:48] <john_doe_jr> jrib: man that would be awesome if you did that…I've @ a completely loss why no debs are being created in the build area
[23:49] <Radikal08> help! I just downloaded cinnamon adding a link to my PPA... and i updated it
[23:49] <Radikal08> but where can i find the installation file?
[23:49] <Braber01> some op from #backtrack-linux kicked me because I supposidly spammed, he kept asking me what wireless card I had, and I told him, he kept prompting me for it. and so I did /exce -o inxi -i and he kicked me.
[23:49] <ccbn> darkprincess: you can copy the file wholesale from this pastebin link if you want, but be weary of what you blindly run from the internet. Diff it against the original copy to see what I've changed if you don't implicitly trust me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1286085/
[23:49] <michealPW> zoktar: You would just give gtf the resolution and refresh rate (1024 768 60, for example) and it will give you the proper modeline for that resolution/rate. Then you just copy/paste that into your xorg.conf in your Monitor's section.
[23:50] <OerHeks> Radikal08, Cinnamon is not supported here,  support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[23:50] <rangergord> hi
[23:50] <john_doe_jr> jrib: I'm on a 64 bit machine if that matters though
[23:50] <ccbn> darkprincess: your rules file should look like that
[23:50] <noiro> Anyone know whether a full VNC session or an X11 session consumes more bandiwidth? My Uni's connection is terrible and wasn't sure if a ssh setup would be worth my while.
[23:50] <darkprincess> oh I see.
[23:50] <rangergord> is there a tool or somesuch I can download which will give me system-wide keyboard shortcuts that are as similar to Windows as possible?
[23:50] <nydel> Radikal08: type this
[23:50] <nydel> sudo apt-get update
[23:50] <darkprincess> The \ shows that there is a new line?
[23:50] <rangergord> or a gconf prepared file or whatever
[23:50] <nydel> sudo apt-get install cinnamon
[23:50] <Radikal08> oh, thank you Nydel!
[23:51] <ccbn> darkprincess: it shows that the command is continued on a new line
[23:51] <nydel> Radikal08: no problem, thank /you/ for trying cinnamon, i really want it to get more popular.
[23:51] <nydel> i'm not selling it & i don't work on it - but i love it
[23:51] <darkprincess> Then compile?
[23:51] <michealPW> rangergord: Are you using regular Ubuntu 12.04?
[23:51] <Radikal08> Its always fun to try something new! But even though I use cinnamon, it is still Ubuntu that i am using right?
[23:51] <OerHeks> nydel dont make them think we support cinnamon
[23:52] <rangergord> michaelni: yeah
[23:52] <nydel> Radikal08: yes it's still ubuntu. we do not technically support cinnamon
[23:52] <michealPW> rangergord: If I remember, you can hold down your Windows key (The "Super" key) for a little bit and it will bring up a list of hotkeys. I don't think it's a complete list, though.
[23:52] <rangergord> michaelni: let me repeat that...I installed gnome-panel or whatever to make it like it was in 10.04
[23:52] <rangergord> OK, I'll try that when I'm back on my desktop
[23:52] <nydel> Radikal08: but you will have the option of using unity (as it is now) still even after you install cinnamon
[23:53] <michealPW> rangergord: For a complete list, I think you can goto System Settings and search for shortcuts and there's a utility that allows you to add new shortcuts which also lists the ones already set
[23:53] <nydel> Radikal08: at the login screen, in the upper right corner of the box around your name where you enter your password, you can click the circle & select cinnamon or unity or gnome
[23:53] <darkprincess> ccbn: Do I need to do anything after the debuild command?
[23:53] <jrib> john_doe_jr: i'm on 64bit too
[23:54] <darkprincess> nydel: Does it replace Unity when you reboot?
[23:54] <jrib> john_doe_jr: I get "bzr: ERROR: Unable to find the needed upstream tarball for package simias, version 1.8.3.10200.0" at the bzr-buildpackage step
[23:54] <Radikal08> Nydel: oh okay, thank you!
[23:55] <nydel> darkprincess: no, you have to select it at the login menu or you would log in to unity (as it is now)
[23:55] <nydel> Radikal08: yw
[23:55] <darkprincess> nydel: Will the option be in plain view or do I need to look for it?
[23:55] <ccbn> darkprincess: just install the package if debuild runs successfully
[23:55] <john_doe_jr> jrib: funny mine worked…do you have bzr installed?
[23:56] <darkprincess> ccbn: Finished running lintian
[23:56] <darkprincess> I presume thats sucessful?
[23:56] <jrib> john_doe_jr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1286091/ yes, bzr is installed
[23:57] <jrib> john_doe_jr: it actually may just be because I have not installed the deb :P
[23:57] <darkprincess> ccbn: Where do I find the .deb package?
[23:57] <john_doe_jr> jrib: yup…hey I noticed that it says, "Experienced users should add the Ubuntu Maverick universe repository to pull in the libflaim* dependency"…what does that mean?
[23:58] <zoktar> michealPW, alright, thanks
[23:58] <ccbn> darkprincess: should be, it will tell you if it failed, look for the built deb packge and install it
[23:58] <michealPW> zoktar: Np. You okay to get an xorg.conf created?
[23:58] <ccbn> darkprincess: it should be in the folder you apt-get source'ed from
[23:58] <john_doe_jr> jrib: by the way, I'm also on 12.04 Server
[23:59] <john_doe_jr> jrib: 64bit
[23:59] <jrib> john_doe_jr: that's only relevant for 10.04.  10.04 didn't have those packages, so it suggested people add 10.10 repos
[23:59] <ccbn> darkprincess: when in doubt you can force mlocate to update the database (not sure on best practice for this) and use locate to find it
