| wilee-nilee | Vustom, You have grub in the mbr of the HD it is installed in and is that HD first in the bios | 00:03 |

| blackshirt | hello | 00:05 |
| Tex_Nick | thekat : compiz is a fun toy, however it can render a system in a rather broken state ... you might want to jot down a couple commands ... to attempt to reset unity & compiz try ( dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ ... setsid unity) | 00:05 |
| Vustom | wilee-nilee: I was messing around with grub in the mbr then decided to reinstall 12.10 because i screwed it up | 00:06 |
| Vustom | wilee-nilee: this time i put the boot in the same partition as ubuntu (/dev/sda2) | 00:07 |
| readyman_ | Is this a support channel? | 00:07 |
| Vustom | readyman_: yes | 00:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Vustom, You need it in the mbr to boot. | 00:07 |
| readyman_ | Hi there, I'm having issues with setting up VPN & SSH keys. I have a working MacOS setup that works, & I've copied the SSH keys across, but no cigar. Not sure where to start looking for logs, advice etc. | 00:08 |

| Draton | Hey guys - anyone get dual x screens working w/ 12.10 and an nvidia card? I keep getting a gray x screen with an x cursor everytime i set it up. Really want to get xrandr working for my 2nd monitor and twinview wont work | 00:10 |
| nrdb | I have a "Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D2700 @ 2.13GHz" but with the image viewer & firefox it take minutes to load a picture, it is a 7.1MB jpg 4536x3024 pixels ... :-( ... any idea why? .... using dd I can read the file in mS ... when I copied it to another computer it opens it in image viewer in a second or so. | 00:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | nrdb, are you opening from a remote source? | 00:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | nrdb, or locally? | 00:12 |
| blackshirt | nrdb, thats big | 00:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | and blackshirt's right, that's a HUGE image | 00:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | it'd take time to render regardless | 00:13 |
| Tohuw | So now that the alternate image has been axed, how does one go about getting the files necessary to perform a PXE-based install? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: tried a different viewer? | 00:13 |
| nrdb | TheLordOfTime, I am using logged in remotely (qtNX), so the file is being opened locally. | 00:14 |
| nrdb | ActionParsnip, I don't know of any other viewers for JPG that is installed. | 00:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | nrdb, i think the "remotely logged in" aspect has something to do with it | 00:15 |
| Draton | nrdb, what are you using to remotely log in? | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Vustom, There is a boot repair app as well that can be run from the live cd with a recommended repair fix that will probably work as well, and if not will generate a bootscript we can look at if you post the URL. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: try opening with qiv | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nrdb: or gqview | 00:16 |
| nrdb | TheLordOfTime, it would just add a couple of seconds, once the image was displayed for the updated display to be echoed to this computer. | 00:16 |
| Draton | nrdb, are you using vnc? | 00:16 |
| Draton | nrdb, I know that when i used to log in using vnc it was abysmal | 00:17 |
| nrdb | Draton, the computer is something like 250km away. | 00:17 |
| Tohuw | How can I obtain the files necessary to PXE boot Ubuntu 12.10? | 00:17 |
| Draton | nrdb, distance isn't the limiting factor, it's the pipe between you | 00:17 |

| ubottu | nrdb: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:18 |
| nrdb | Draton, when I move the windows about the delay is about 1/2 second to update | 00:18 |
| Draton | nrdb, also keep in mind if you're running vnc, there's some processor/gfx power going into doing the forwarding | 00:19 |
| agrester | Hello all: running a simple script on cron.daily, it simply rsyncs from a /media/xxxxx folder to a folder on my ~/GDrive/ folder, but for some reason I think the rsync fails because the /media/xxx references a Windows partition... | 00:21 |
| nrdb | ActionParsnip, nether qiv or gqview are installed... I suppose I could install one. | 00:21 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| Draton | nrdb, def. worth a shot | 00:21 |
| Draton | nrdb, sudo apt-get! :) | 00:21 |
| bekks | agrester: Or even most likely because you arent using full paths to the rsync binary. | 00:21 |
| nrdb | Draton, the load is about 0.1 atm | 00:22 |
| agrester | bekks: heres the pastebin | 00:22 |
| agrester | bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1289532/ | 00:22 |
| Draton | nrdb, hmm, yeah so if the cpu isn't the limiting factor, nor the ram, then you have to look @ network utilization and efficiency of the image viewer | 00:22 |
| agrester | bekks: after doing some debugging I found that the rsync from the media folder is failing after I reboot, I think it's not mounting the drive and I can't use upstart because /media/xxxx isn't listed in fstab | 00:23 |
| true_techie | Im using grub to boot ubuntu and windows. Im about to install another windows operating system over the ubuntu partition. will i lose access to the windows partition that is already on my hard drive? | 00:23 |
| bekks | agrester: That script does not contain any commands to mount or ensure that your drive is mounted. | 00:24 |
| zykotick9 | true_techie: ask in ##windows | 00:24 |
| Draton | true_techie: you will likely have to reinstall grub or the windows boot loader | 00:24 |
| agrester | bekks: in the default setup how are Windows partitions mounted in dual boot setups? | 00:24 |
| bekks | agrester: They arent mounted by default :) | 00:24 |
| agrester | bekks: it seems that even upstart doesn't do this which is so annoying because that would be the most elegant solution | 00:25 |
| bekks | agrester: The most elegant solution would be to create a fstab entry. | 00:25 |
| agrester | bekks: if I do that will it screw up the normal mounting and management of the /dev/sda1 partition in other tools like file managers, disk managers, gparted? | 00:26 |
| bekks | agrester: No. It will just be mounted to a specific mountpoint - always. | 00:26 |
| agrester | bekks: so then I can just use the "mounted" event in /etc/init/whatever.conf to run the script? | 00:27 |
| Draton | agrester: i do something very similar myself, i mount my ntfs via fstab - works like a charm. | 00:27 |
| agrester | Drafton, bekks, how do I do this? | 00:28 |
| nrdb | Draton, the qiv program program is also very slow! | 00:29 |
| Draton | agrester: add an entry to you fstab, /dev/sdb* /media/sdb* ntfs nls=iso8859-1,umask=000 0 0 | 00:29 |
| Draton | where * = your ntfs drive | 00:29 |
| agrester | Drafton: will the drive be named that by default in all programs and tools like Thunar file manager? Is the name /media/6EA8E929A8E8F08F/ just randomly assigned or do I have to mount it there? | 00:30 |
| bekks | agrester: That "name" is the folder /media/ and the UUID of the filesystem 6EA8E929A8E8F08F | 00:31 |
| bekks | Just mount it to /mnt/myotherdrive/ | 00:31 |
| === lizzin is now known as Guest69075 | ||
| agrester | bekks: so that | 00:32 |
| Draton | agrester: bekks is right, i just mount my sdb1/sdd1 to /media/sdb1 and /media/sdd1 respectively | 00:32 |
| agrester | Drafton: so from then on my drive will have a normal name? | 00:32 |
| bekks | And dont use /media/ for static mountpoints, that may interfere with the automounter | 00:32 |
| bekks | agrester: Your drive doesnt have a name at all, you just have a named mountpoint. | 00:33 |
| Draton | heh, bekks, forgot i had run into that problem, but i had my way w/ the automounter | 00:33 |
| systems | hello i am trying to do this command "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" and i get the following error "-bash: /etc/rc.local:permission denied" | 00:33 |
| agrester | bekks: the automounter is the problem, how do I work around that? | 00:34 |
| bekks | agrester: I just told you. | 00:34 |
| Draton | agrester: you just use /mnt/yourdrivenamehere instead of /media | 00:34 |
| bekks | agrester: Use /mnt/myotherdrive instead of a mountpoint in /media/ | 00:34 |
| Draton | systems: is something using rc.local? | 00:35 |
| systems | hello i am trying to do this command "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" and i get the following error "-bash: /etc/rc.local:permission denied" | 00:35 |
| agrester | bekks: so /mnt/newname and /media/xxxxxxx will be mirror images? | 00:35 |
| bekks | agrester: No. | 00:35 |
| systems | how do i find out draton | 00:35 |
| systems | sorry for repeat | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | systems, Why would you sudo cat? | 00:35 |
| bekks | agrester: /mnt/something will contain a static mountpoint and /media/ is designated for automounter mountpoints. | 00:35 |
| systems | just being the root | 00:35 |

| agrester | ok, when I edit the fstab, I have to reboot yes? | 00:36 |

| wilee-nilee | bekks, Hehe I knew something was wrong cat as I know it is just a text read in the terminal. | 00:37 |
| Draton | wilee-nilee: it is but like any command it's subject to the underlying permissioning | 00:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | systems: bekks: wilee-nilee: this'd have done it: sudo su -c 'cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local'. but that's just another way to do that is all | 00:38 |
| systems | thanks guys | 00:38 |
| bekks | OUCH. :) | 00:38 |
| wilee-nilee | lol | 00:38 |
| bekks | echo ... | sudo tee ... | 00:38 |
| bekks | THATS the elegant way. | 00:38 |
| bekks | Or even run sudo -i and just issue your cat cmd. | 00:38 |
| Draton | i assume you were trying to append to the end of /etc/rc.local? :) | 00:40 |

| willdabeast | Draton - I am trying to connect geany with my school's webserver so I can upload from geany to the server. | 01:07 |
| Draton | willdabeast: how are you trying to connect? you might just want to use a bash script to ssh? | 01:07 |
| Draton | willdabeast: although if it's c the best way would be git | 01:07 |
| Jisawesome2 | draton, do you know how to get out of root@localhost | 01:07 |
| Draton | exit | 01:08 |
| Draton | i assume you su'd in? | 01:08 |
| Jisawesome2 | sudo -i | 01:08 |
| willdabeast | Draton: Well how would I use git? It is for C | 01:08 |

| Jisawesome2 | Thank you | 01:09 |

| prey | i used //ip/file /mnt/sharefile cifs credentials=/path/credentials,rw 0 0 but i cant drag and drop into the directory. did i mess up the permissions someplace? | 01:09 |
| Jisawesome2 | draton how do I change it from saying localhost to an actualy server name | 01:09 |
| Jisawesome2 | (jisawesome@localhost) | 01:09 |
| Draton | that's in /etc/hostname | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | !hostname | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | or just set your promopt to not show the hostname ;P | 01:09 |

| Draton | Jisawesome2: edit your /etc/hosts file to have 127.0.0.1 thehostnameyouwant | 01:10 |

| ubottu | Jisawesome2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:10 |
| Draton | Jisawesome2: then in /etc/hostname make it thenameyouwant | 01:10 |
| Jisawesome2 | I did that | 01:11 |
| Draton | Jisawesome2: but like the bot said: make sure you have the entry in hosts before you put it in hostname | 01:11 |
| Draton | how many entries do you have in /hostname? | 01:11 |
| Jisawesome2 | It should be just that one thing right? | 01:11 |
| Draton | you should only have the 1 | 01:11 |
| willdabeast | Draton: hmm well essentially the problem is the program/terminal they make you use at school is like a compiler that you can also submit your work in. Not sure why they do that, but if I can use my own compiler I'd much prefer it, not sure how to go about it at all lol | 01:11 |

| wilee-nilee | leadline, You don't show them in the script, I think you have a UEFI remnant problem beyond that nothing else really, just a hypothesis, but most likely. Grub should have installed like normal in the install. | 02:04 |
| BlackWeb | Does anyone know if its possible to manage a router over WAN? Right now then in my setup of my router then I have Remote Management Enabled, But does that just mean a wireless can manage it through LAN? | 02:06 |
| john_rambo | when I click on my Home folder icon on Desktop it says Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. And then it opens | 02:06 |
| BlackWeb | If you can then do you just enter your WAN IP into the browser followed by the port or how would that be done? | 02:06 |
| iceroot | BlackWeb: it means wan and is offtopic here | 02:06 |

| gp5st_ | hello. My laptop, a D630, boots, but fails to startx. the log file says it sigseg'ed. | 02:08 |
| gp5st_ | i'm running xubuntu 12.04. apt-get update and apt-get upgrade does not update anything | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | gp5st_: so you are up to date? | 02:08 |
| gp5st_ | dr_willis: yes | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | and yoru video card/drivers are? | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 02:09 |
| gp5st_ | the card is a NVIDIA G86M Quadro. This laptop has previously booted into X flawlessly | 02:11 |
| hardc0ded | hi all :) | 02:11 |
| gp5st_ | the log file is @ http://gp5st.com/Xorg.0.log | 02:13 |
| xi3888 | does anybody know of a user interface for the terminal to configure wireless? i'm looking for something easy to use. not a command based solution. | 02:15 |
| gp5st_ | xi3888: wicd and wicd-curses | 02:15 |
| gp5st_ | xi3888: it supports wpa w/o any special effort on the end user's part and the curses interface is fairly nice to use | 02:16 |
| wastrel | how to disable drag to maximize in unity | 02:17 |
| zykotick9 | xi3888: i use wicd-curses on my netbook. unfortunatly, you should basically consider it a deprecated solution :(.. | 02:18 |
| gp5st_ | zykotick9: how come! i love it :( | 02:19 |
| DaemonicApathy | wastrel: compizconfig-settings-manager can toggle features like that in Unity, and many more outside Unity. | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | gp5st_: i like it as well. i'm sad to see it go. | 02:19 |
| Xtremeasure | wastrel: the setting your looking for is grid in the compiz-setting-manager | 02:20 |
| gp5st_ | anyone have a chance to look at that log file and help me figure out what's going on with my X install? | 02:20 |
| willdabeast | yeaaa I am gonna need some serious help with some nvidia card nonsense. Seems I can't enter 3d mode to save my life... Any thoughts? | 02:21 |
| wastrel | maybe you need to install the nvidia drivers | 02:21 |
| willdabeast | wastrel so wise | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | wastrel, many hits on the web here is one. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743309 | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | grid is correct | 02:22 |
| DaemonicApathy | willdabeast: have you looked at your uptions under System Settings > Additional Drivers? | 02:22 |
| willdabeast | yea, it's where it needs to be daemonicapathy | 02:23 |
| willdabeast | DaemonicApathy, let me make sure though | 02:23 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: have you loaded the Nvidia xserver settings? | 02:23 |
| willdabeast | DaemonicApathy, yea right now its on the current version, recommended. Xtremeasure - I believe so? | 02:24 |
| DaemonicApathy | willdabeast: "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then reboot may or may not solve your issue | 02:25 |
| willdabeast | DaemonicApathy, mk it says backed up 2 files and wrote a new xorg.conf | 02:26 |
| DaemonicApathy | *nod* | 02:26 |
| willdabeast | DaemonicApathy, hahaha | 02:26 |
| willdabeast | DaemonicApathy, so where to from here? my brain is like drooling at this point. | 02:27 |

| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: What is the full path? | 02:36 |
| saby | I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 iso so that I can upgrade my 12.04 to 12.10, but the live cd hangs at boot "Stopping save kernel messages [Ok]" | 02:36 |
| Xtremeasure | try that out anything shows up no you wont be able to support 3d | 02:36 |
| DaemonicApathy | saby: did you check the md5 of the DVD, to make sure it burned correctly? | 02:37 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure, it says that Unity 3d is not supported... | 02:37 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: that would be why you cant run in 3d mode lol | 02:37 |
| WeThePeople | jordan_u, /home/desktop/desktop/linux | 02:37 |
| saby | DaemonicApathy how can I do that ? | 02:37 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure, dear god, so does this mean I am sol? | 02:37 |
| DaemonicApathy | !md5 | saby | 02:38 |
| ubottu | saby: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:38 |
| saby | Thanks DaemonicApathy , will check it | 02:38 |
| DaemonicApathy | Any time. | 02:38 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: no lemme do some more reading here, im not the best with these nvidia cards but it seems someone was having a problem close to yours | 02:38 |
| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: I'll assume that you meant "/home/your_username/Desktop/linux/". Try running "grep '/home/.*/Desktop/linux/' ~/.local/share/Trash/info/*". | 02:39 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure, awesome, as long as there is some form of hope | 02:39 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: how old is the card? | 02:39 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure, actually quite new, not a new card in terms of price and quality but new | 02:40 |
| saby | DaemonicApathy yup it matches :) | 02:40 |
| saby | ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 02:40 |
| DaemonicApathy | saby: Then I'd suggest you start over, and hope it was a random bug. | 02:40 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: what did you fail in the unity support test | 02:41 |
| saby | DaemonicApathy start over ? | 02:41 |
| saby | DaemonicApathy I'm unable to boot even into the live cd | 02:41 |
| willdabeast | Not blacklisted: and Unity 3D supported: | 02:41 |
| saby | so i'm basically at the start :P | 02:41 |
| DaemonicApathy | Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. | 02:41 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure ^ | 02:41 |
| DaemonicApathy | saby: Are you able to boot off of a USB drive? | 02:41 |
| saby | DaemonicApathy i'm using a usb drive | 02:42 |
| matti_ | hi, my laptop does not detect my SD card anymore, what program is controlling the SD card slot on my laptop or what is the lowest lavel to see if detected at all my SD card except for lspci that shows nothing ... | 02:42 |
| saby | I already have 12.04 and wanted to upgrade the OS, but since that would require atleast 2gb of download, so i got the live cd and will upgrade using that | 02:42 |
| DaemonicApathy | saby: Again, sorry. you said "live cd", which usually means an actual disc. If you are actually using a USB drive for it, you may have better luck with the disc. | 02:43 |
| wastrel | saby: you put it on usb drive with unetbootin? | 02:43 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: still looking i found a thread on getting it to run on blacklisted cards | 02:43 |
| saby | wastrel tried with unetbootin and the usb disc creator in ubuntu | 02:43 |
| saby | startup disk creator * | 02:43 |
| wastrel | and it doesn't boot? | 02:44 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure gotcha | 02:44 |
| xangua | saby: by upgrade you mean clean install¿ | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | WeThePeople: ~/.local/share/Trash/info contains files with information about every file in the trash, including what the original path of the file was. The command I gave you will search all these files for the pattern '/home/.*/Desktop/linux/' and print the name of any file that matches, along with the line from that file that matched, which should include the full path to where the file was before it was deleted. If you get no ... | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | ... output then you either haven't deleted any files from that directory or you gave me the wrong path (and I already know that at least two parts of the path you gave were wrong, and I fixed those problms in the command I gave you). | 02:44 |
| saby | wastrel yes it doesnt boot, hangs at "Stopping Save kernel messages [Ok]" | 02:45 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: im going to point you to a post, make sure you backup any files you are going to change | 02:45 |
| Xtremeasure | no promise it will work | 02:45 |

| WeThePeople | jordan_u, path as is>>> /home/ace/Desktop/Desktop/LINUX | 02:46 |
| xangua | saby: and anyways you'll have to still upgrade all the programs that are not in the cd, those 2gb for upgrade didn't create on their own ;) | 02:46 |

| saby | xangua then how can I upgrade ? | 02:48 |
| xangua | saby: you will not save nothing at the end, plenty of documetation since official to a lot of unoficial(blog) guides https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades#Upgrades_via_alternate_CD | 02:49 |
| saby | cool thanks xangua ::) | 02:49 |
| xangua | mmm now that i remember, there is no more alternate for ubuntu isn't it¿¿ | 02:49 |
| WeThePeople | jordan_u, like this>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1291011/ | 02:49 |
| wastrel | xangua: yeah it seems the alternate iso is no more | 02:50 |
| Xtremeasure | willdabeast: apparently not a thread on 12.04 pointed to that tut | 02:50 |
| xangua | then i believe what i said is not valid saby :/ | 02:51 |
| Xtremeasure | it got some pretty good results | 02:51 |
| willdabeast | Xtremeasure gotcha, well i did that anyway, should i restart for it to take effect? | 02:51 |

| Katronix | ok | 03:05 |
| kpullen | But check on that - ufw is disabled by default. | 03:06 |

| kpullen | That's good to know. No upgrade regressions that you've noticed? | 03:07 |
| Xtremeasure | not really | 03:08 |
| Xtremeasure | the most annoying is the flash settings bug but that carried from 12.04 | 03:08 |
| kpullen | Well, I almost never use flash, so I guess that's good. | 03:08 |
| wastrel | what is this flash bug | 03:09 |
| Xtremeasure | the composite manager and window decorator cause the flash settings screen to lock up if the flash object isnt full screend | 03:09 |
| Areku | Hey there, noob here. | 03:09 |
| wastrel | what's flash settings screen | 03:10 |
| kpullen | As a heads up to anyone living in Portland, Oregon: Puppetlabs is hosting an Ubuntu release party from 1:30 to 3:30PM. | 03:10 |
| Xtremeasure | you can work around it by disabling the composite manager and using gtk to manage your decorations then switching back | 03:10 |
| Xtremeasure | go to youtube and right click on a video and click the settings button | 03:10 |
| hans__ | kpullen: what day? | 03:10 |
| wastrel | i thought youtube uses html5 player now | 03:11 |
| wilee-nilee | kpullen, Saturday? | 03:11 |
| Xtremeasure | wastrel: apparently not still views it as a flash object in chromium and ff | 03:11 |
| wastrel | i guess if you have flash it serves flash but if not it uses html5 | 03:12 |
| wastrel | fancy | 03:12 |
| Areku | does that happen in Xubuntu too? | 03:12 |
| wastrel | ok well i can't get rid of this settings screen | 03:12 |
| hans__ | kpullen: thanks for the heads up btw | 03:12 |
| Xtremeasure | you have to close the tab | 03:12 |
| kpullen | hans__: Saturday. | 03:12 |
| Xtremeasure | it locks up the flash player so user input doesnt work | 03:12 |
| Xtremeasure | Areku: i dont believe so | 03:12 |

| atrius | i'm not nuts... if i bond two gigE cards connected to a switch which supports LACP.. shouldn't i get a connection of greater than 1Gb between two hosts setup like that? | 03:31 |
| dartos | Birkoff: it is the only distro that supported my hardware... ubuntu just didnt... | 03:31 |
| dartos | Birkoff: nor did fedora suprisingly | 03:31 |
| Xtremeasure | dartos: ive had lbuntu running on a pentium 2 with 256mb of ram lol | 03:32 |
| Birkoff | yes | 03:32 |
| dartos | dartos: not that my video card wasn't compatable | 03:32 |
| tucemiux | anyone here uses keypass? I'm wondering if I should install keypasx or keypass2 | 03:32 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: look above | 03:32 |
| dartos | i have to stop doing that | 03:32 |
| Birkoff | someone used ZOIN OS ? | 03:33 |
| dartos | are there drivers for the GMA 3600 now? | 03:33 |
| hans__ | dartos: probably, intel has excelent support | 03:33 |
| goldilocks | how can I configure upstart to boot without any networking? | 03:33 |
| dartos | hans__: that is why i was suprised when there wasn't support for it | 03:33 |
| Xtremeasure | dartos: there should be | 03:33 |
| dartos | This scares me ... should i reinstall linux... again | 03:34 |
| dartos | what makes mint so slow compared to vinella ubuntu | 03:34 |
| dartos | or xubutnu... i am going to have to download that | 03:34 |
| zerowaitstate | atrius: I believe LACP tries to avoid sending out of order frames by sending all frames associated with a particular flow across a single link | 03:35 |
| upset | dartos: ElementaryOS! | 03:35 |
| dartos | upset: ??wat | 03:35 |
| Birkoff | did ? | 03:35 |
| zerowaitstate | artius: you get total bandwidth of 2 Gb, but 2 Gb is not guaranteed for a single flow | 03:35 |
| atrius | zerowaitstate: hmmm... i'll look into that | 03:35 |
| upset | dartos: Elementary, like those themes, except that have a sick set of simple and efficient software. | 03:36 |
| Birkoff | and the shell scripting ? | 03:36 |
| upset | dartos: Runs like a dream, | 03:36 |
| atrius | zerowaitstate: i thought that might be the case.. so using iperf i increased the thread number thinking that might push it higher... no dice... speed is no higher than a single link | 03:36 |
| dartos | upset: does it support my hardware. and is it based on debian? | 03:36 |
| tucemiux | dartos, try ubuntu studio | 03:36 |
| hans__ | upset: it's not released yet :D | 03:36 |
| Birkoff | Ubuntu studio for music design ? | 03:36 |
| Xtremeasure | artos: it does seem that there is trouble with the integrated set you use | 03:36 |
| upset | dartos: It's ubuntu basically. | 03:36 |
| Xtremeasure | but people have found a way to work it out | 03:37 |
| zerowaitstate | atrius: there may be a way to tune LACP to use a different algorithm for load-balancing; I would guess that would depend on the particular implementation | 03:37 |
| hans__ | dartos: if you're capable you might just want to consider an ubuntu minimal install and set it up with little overhead | 03:37 |
| Birkoff | like a Linux multimedia Studio ? | 03:37 |
| dartos | tucemiux: why? | 03:37 |
| Birkoff | help | 03:37 |
| upset | dartos: Their modifications are reaaaally minor, it's mostly the software suite which makes it so fast | 03:37 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: i spent a week with those workarounds... none worked | 03:37 |
| tucemiux | ubuntu studio is for multi media but nowadays ubuntu just plainly works but ubuntu studio is fast and I like the layout | 03:37 |
| atrius | zerowaitstate: i'll check into that.. thanks :) | 03:37 |
| Birkoff | okay | 03:37 |
| Xtremeasure | dartos: alot of these sound pretty indepth man alot of these people had to compile the kernel with card support ill read and see if i find anything worth its salt | 03:38 |
| dartos | I just need something that supports my hardware | 03:38 |
| Birkoff | where you from mister "dartos" ? | 03:38 |
| kpullen | dartos: What hardware do you have again? | 03:38 |
| dartos | Cedar trail | 03:38 |
| dartos | kpullen: Atom N2600 with the GMA3600 | 03:38 |
| dartos | i just needed some help with overclocking... but if vinella ubuntu will work with this hardware thanks for the help | 03:39 |
| wastrel | when i first opened youtube in my firefox it asked if i want to install youtube, when i first opened gmail it asked if i want to install gmail. is there a list of these types of thing somewhere? | 03:39 |
| Birkoff | the that something you need ???? | 03:39 |
| hans__ | wastrel: slightly outdated list: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/list-of-that-websites-support-unitys-new-web-apps-feature | 03:40 |
| dartos | Can someone just tell me how i can overclock this card | 03:40 |
| kpullen | dartos: From what I've found, 3.3.0 supports Cedar Trail. Why not try compiling a custom kernel? You can always fallback to a safe default, and you don't have to spend a bunch of time reinstalling your OS. | 03:40 |
| dartos | kpullen: i did no dice | 03:40 |
| hans__ | i think it's at >30 now | 03:40 |
| dartos | kpullen: if it would have worked i would stick with fedora | 03:41 |
| dartos | kpullen: mint is like an off distro | 03:41 |
| atrius | now if only i could get udev to stop renaming my network devices.... | 03:41 |
| dartos | kpullen: and i use this thing for school | 03:41 |
| kpullen | Well then, you definitely don't want to have a bunch of downtime reinstalling. | 03:41 |
| wastrel | hans__: ty | 03:42 |
| dartos | nobody know how to overclock this thing.... | 03:42 |
| bazhang | !webapps | wastrel | 03:42 |
| ubottu | wastrel: Ubuntu Web Apps enable developers to create web applications that run in web browsers. They provide close integration to the Unity shell for functions such as launch, notifications and controls. - more info at http://developer.ubuntu.com/community/ or #ubuntu-webapps | 03:42 |
| bazhang | dartos, ##hardware | 03:43 |
| dartos | bazhang: what? | 03:43 |
| atrius | it keeps trying to rename my network devices... and screwing them all up in the process | 03:43 |
| wastrel | hi bazhang thx | 03:43 |
| bazhang | dartos, thats not an ubuntu support issue, it's hardware; /join ##hardware | 03:43 |
| Xtremeasure | dartos: i believe i found something im gonna post a link let me know if you tried the things posted in here on your computer | 03:44 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: okay | 03:44 |

| Xtremeasure | they use a hodge podge to get the driver to work | 03:44 |
| Xtremeasure | but all of them say its effective | 03:45 |
| Xtremeasure | be right back | 03:45 |
| dartos | I tried this same one from this same thread | 03:45 |
| dartos | + i think the meego site is dead | 03:45 |
| dartos | nvm | 03:45 |
| dartos | but those links are broken | 03:46 |
| gharz | hi, guys. in ubuntu, there's an option from the menu for restricted drivers and it automatically detects restricted hardware... what's the command to run or what is the app that detects restricted drivers? i've just install lubuntu but it doesn't have restricted drivers option from the menu. | 03:46 |
| dartos | is meego still alive?? | 03:47 |
| bazhang | gharz, jockey-gtk you mean? | 03:47 |
| nbf | dartos: I believe it's been forked | 03:47 |
| nbf | Jolla or something similar | 03:47 |
| dartos | nbf forked? | 03:47 |
| gharz | bazhang: i already install jockey-gtk but it doesn't run. | 03:47 |
| === Ex0deus is now known as Guest61743 | ||
| dartos | nbf: they had an update on the 14th | 03:47 |
| gharz | bazhang: i'm not sure if that's jockey-gtk | 03:47 |
| bazhang | gharz, what about alt f2 | 03:47 |
| bazhang | dartos, how is any of this ubuntu support related | 03:48 |
| gharz | bazhang: let me re-install jockey-gtk again | 03:48 |
| infectedorganism | gharz, i think what you're looking for is in 'software sources' | 03:48 |
| bazhang | gharz, try from the run menu first | 03:48 |
| atrius | well this is a new kind of special... i've got duplicate network interfaces now | 03:49 |
| dartos | bazhang: well first i needed an application to overclock. then people said i should get off of mint and on something else. idk if my harware will work with them yet so i asked. xtreme pointed me to this one link. now im waiting for him to get back... | 03:49 |
| hans__ | gharz: the thing was moved to the 'software cources' application. there's a tab for restricted drivers | 03:49 |
| dartos | that made so much sense XD | 03:49 |
| Xtremeasure | im back and i read so the kernel modules they posted arent downloadable on your end? | 03:49 |
| gharz | infectedorganism and bazhang: i'll try that in a while. i can't install coz i'm currently updating | 03:49 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: no but those are old kernels | 03:49 |
| infectedorganism | yeah.. try software sources > additional drivers | 03:50 |
| hans__ | gn all | 03:50 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: i still need at lease a 2ghz to do my stuff.. so i still need to overclock... | 03:50 |
| bazhang | dartos, number one: mint is not supported here, nor is hardware overclocking nor meego. go to mintsupport for their help, ##hardware for overclocking help and meego channel on irc for their support | 03:50 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | dartos | 03:50 |
| ubottu | dartos: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 03:50 |
| bazhang | !alis | dartos have a search for meego here | 03:51 |
| ubottu | dartos have a search for meego here: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 03:51 |
| dartos | ubottu: they don't talk on those channels tho | 03:51 |
| ubottu | dartos: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:51 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I recently installed an ubuntu Flavor as a Virtual Machine on my Windows 7 Laptop... I am trying to install what I need on this VM to make use of it as my Primary OS[installing Ubuntu directly failed in too many attempts] I only have one user account, excluding root from that list... How do I add mu user to the sudoer group so that I may install software? | 03:51 |
| dartos | i c | 03:51 |
| bazhang | dartos, thats not our problem. its not supported here | 03:51 |
| Sabin | Hey I'm new to this Xchat and pretty much Linux in general | 03:51 |
| nbf | you have the best irc nick ever dark elf | 03:51 |
| Sabin | is there any other channels? | 03:51 |
| nbf | I think you may have won the internet | 03:51 |
| Sabin | like for Newbs to learn or something? | 03:51 |
| bazhang | !manual | Sabin start here | 03:51 |
| ubottu | Sabin start here: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 03:51 |
| Xtremeasure | darkelfjuggalo: just use sudo | 03:52 |
| bazhang | !rute | Sabin and here | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Sabin and here: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 03:52 |
| dartos | bazhang: no need to be so mean. I am trying to install ubuntu 12.10 i need to know if cedar trail works with it. damn | 03:52 |
| darkelfjuggalo | lol nbf I am just a huge R.A.Salvatore and Drizzt Do'Urdan fan, lol | 03:52 |
| bazhang | dartos, then stay on topic. this is not about meego/overclocking/MINT | 03:52 |
| Sabin | Sweet Thanks! | 03:52 |
| dartos | bazhang: actually i asked about overclocking first | 03:52 |
| Xtremeasure | bazhang: in his defense the article i pointed him to uses an older meego kernel to compile the version of x he needs in ubuntu | 03:53 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, which ubuntu flavor | 03:53 |
| dartos | can someone just tell me a program that i can use to overlclock. then i will leave | 03:54 |
| Xtremeasure | dartos: it isnt supported by your card and as bazhang said we dont support overclocking youd need to look elsewhere | 03:55 |
| lotuspsychje | dartos: join ##hardware for such issues | 03:55 |
| bazhang | dartos, ##hardware | 03:55 |
| darkelfjuggalo | Xtremeasure, I did and it gives me an error after I put the password in saying that im not allowed to do it [usually on my Debian Desktop I Root Terminal to begin with or Su to do a Root Log-in for the same error] | 03:56 |
| dartos | Xtremeasure: So I start by asking about overclocking. Get pointed to freeking meego to fix compatability issues with ubuntu. ask if 12.10 will work with my hardware and nobody knows. then i get told i should have been somewhere else the whole time. | 03:56 |
| dartos | just like microsoft support | 03:56 |
| dartos | thx for nothing | 03:56 |
| === Guest61743 is now known as Ex0deus | ||
| kpullen | dartos: I think the issue is that there isn't some program that will just overclock your GPU. People don't want you to leave - they are trying to point you to places where someone might have more knowledge about your issue. | 03:56 |
| === lizzin is now known as Guest66933 | ||
| Xtremeasure | haha man thats the first time ive ever been compared to a microsoft consoltant | 03:57 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, which flavor of ubuntu | 03:57 |
| darkelfjuggalo | BAzhang Kubuntu | 03:58 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, and you currently have gnome? | 03:58 |
| darkelfjuggalo | Kubuntu is default KDE isn't it? 80% of everything else pre-installed comes from K and I can't useit effeciently | 03:59 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, so install some other -desktop, such as ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop and get rid of kde | 04:00 |
| gharz | thanks!!! | 04:00 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | darkelfjuggalo such as in this manner | 04:00 |
| ubottu | darkelfjuggalo such as in this manner: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 04:00 |
| Xtremeasure | bazhang: he may not be able to he said his sudo isnt working | 04:00 |
| bazhang | Xtremeasure, he said his su is not working, which is a different matter | 04:01 |
| kpullen | bazhang: That sounds like bad news. | 04:01 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, there is no need to root login. use sudo. or sudo -i for a root shell. | 04:01 |
| Xtremeasure | kpullen: it isnt its disabled by default to keep you from damaging your systen kpullen | 04:01 |
| darkelfjuggalo | sudo isn't working so i normally su to bypass repeated sudo commands...but i don't know how to set-up su on kubuntu | 04:01 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, you dont ever need to | 04:02 |
| dartos | now ##hardware yells at me to ask here... | 04:02 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell | 04:02 |
| kpullen | Xtremeasure: I think the issue is that root is disabled. If `su` isn't working at all then I think there are more serious issues. | 04:02 |
| blackshirt | sudo su | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Xtremeasure: use: sudo -i | 04:03 |
| darkelfjuggalo | On Debian I had to place username in the sudoer usergroup forsu to work...that was a 40 minute process to understand 8 or 9months ago | 04:03 |
| Xtremeasure | kpullen: like i said the root account is disabled by default you would have to set a password to root to enable it | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kpullen: just use: sudo -i | 04:03 |
| kpullen | Xtremeasure: OK, I misunderstood you. | 04:03 |
| cfhowlett | ping | 04:03 |
| Xtremeasure | kpullen: no worries | 04:03 |
| Don_Rad | hi all | 04:04 |
| Xtremeasure | darkelfjugallo : id go with the advice and use sudo -i enabling your root can cause serious system damage if you dont know what your doing | 04:05 |
| blackshirt | hi | 04:05 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I wouldn't have much issue if some of the basic packages had sensible commands... like an imaging program having a resize function [I'm trying to get GIMP becuase Libre Office: Draw lacks this and I have to resize a picture for my drawing class] | 04:05 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, imagemagick for one | 04:06 |
| Don_Rad | im using a dell inspiron 1545 with ubuntu 12.10 and cinnamon desktop, a question: why when i change to a different desktop style like gnome classic or gnome(shell) my titlebar and buttons (close, minimize and maximize) dissappear at all and only getting back to cinnamon is when i can have it back?? :S | 04:06 |
| bjrohan | Can someone please help me. I have an external USB drive I thought I had set up for automount, but after a reboot it did not mount. How do I a) mount the ext4 drive at /dev/sdb1 to /media/BACKUP, and set it to automount | 04:06 |
| darkelfjuggalo | if I can't sudo apt-get install gimp without problems, how am i supposed to get something else? | 04:06 |
| Dataholic | does ubuntu have mini iso for 12.10 ? | 04:07 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: it sounds like the window decorator isnt starting | 04:07 |
| bazhang | darkelfjuggalo, time to do some reading and learn about imagemagick | 04:07 |
| [deXter] | Dataholic, mini ISO? | 04:07 |
| bazhang | !mini | Dataholic | 04:07 |
| zerowaitstate | i think he means netinstall | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Dataholic: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:07 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure any idea to fix it? | 04:07 |
| blackshirt | bjrohan, have you placed it in /etc/fstab | 04:08 |
| blackshirt | ? | 04:08 |
| bjrohan | My guess is no blackshirt | 04:08 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure only when i start on cinnamont everything is normal :S | 04:08 |
| bjrohan | I am trying to set this up over an ssh connection, so all command line if possible | 04:08 |
| bazhang | !fstab | bjrohan | 04:08 |
| ubottu | bjrohan: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:08 |
| blackshirt | bjrohan, why you not sure ? | 04:09 |
| [deXter] | Hmm, I don't see an ARM version of that minimal cd.. | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Don_Rad, cinnamon is a PPA; sounds like an unstable, unsupported PPA has done something to your system | 04:09 |
| Dataholic | !Alternate | 04:09 |
| ubottu | The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD | 04:09 |
| bjrohan | I did a lot when trying to set it all up this morning to use as my backup including setting up ssh, RSA keys, setting up rsync, formatting the drive etc. As a newbie I don't remember all that I did :-) | 04:10 |
| bazhang | [deXter], try asking in #ubuntu-arm | 04:10 |
| [deXter] | bazhang, thanks | 04:10 |
| Don_Rad | bazhang dang :S so, reinstall whole system ? and then no cinnamon anymore? | 04:10 |
| bazhang | Don_Rad, why not just ppa-purge it | 04:10 |
| bazhang | !ppa-purge | Don_Rad | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Don_Rad: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 04:10 |
| blackshirt | bjrohan, that was bad... Make some notices on your step has been did | 04:11 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: you could do the work and install compiz fusion, ccsm, and the fusion icon and manually switch the decorator everytime you switch to a default desktop | 04:12 |
| bjrohan | blackshirt, no problem. I apprecaite the ubotto link I will check it out :-) | 04:12 |
| blackshirt | bjrohan, good lucks guys | 04:12 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: but you may run into the reverse of this problem when switching back | 04:12 |

| bjrohan | why does it say partition table msdos when when fdisk says Linux | 04:21 |
| wifioregon | I've heard people tell me its a bad idea to use gnome-shell (gnome classic) on Ubuntu. Why is this? | 04:21 |
| overclucker | bjrohan: partition table is not a filesystem, so don't worry about it | 04:21 |
| bjrohan | ok | 04:21 |
| bjrohan | how does one edit fstab over ssh? | 04:21 |
| Xtremeasure | wifioregon: ive heard no such thing and i use gnome classic under the 12.10 gnome remix | 04:22 |
| zerowaitstate | bjrohan: use vi | 04:22 |
| zerowaitstate | or nano | 04:23 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure i got it! | 04:23 |
| wifioregon | Xtremeasure: oh okay good :-) | 04:23 |
| blackshirt | vim,nano,emacs | 04:23 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: your welcome | 04:23 |
| bjrohan | zerowaitstate: Guess I should learn it sooner or later | 04:23 |
| wifioregon | Xtremeasure: Ive heard that gnome classic isnt supported anymore though. Is this true? | 04:23 |
| bjrohan | which is the most noob friendly editor? | 04:23 |
| zerowaitstate | bjrohan: it is a good idea to know vi since it is pretty much available on every UNIX since the stone age | 04:23 |
| Xtremeasure | wifioregon: i just went and got the gnome remix iso saved me the trouble of enabling the classic fall back | 04:24 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure it was just settings disabled on compiz-settigs and work just fine, thanks dude! | 04:24 |
| bjrohan | ok :-) | 04:24 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: no problem | 04:24 |
| overclucker | bjrohan: nano is probably the easiest to use. | 04:24 |
| wifioregon | Xtremeasure: ah ok | 04:24 |
| zerowaitstate | overclucker: true, if you're used to Windows editing | 04:24 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: if you run into any other problems along those lines remember to check ccsm | 04:24 |
| bjrohan | the USB drive is in fstab already: | 04:25 |
| overclucker | zerowaitstate: i prefer windows' edit.exe to nano... | 04:25 |
| Xtremeasure | wifioregon: i cant say its not supported it just isnt the default gui any more for the main release | 04:25 |

| Xtremeasure | off of a normal install | 04:26 |
| Xtremeasure | be right back ( i gotta quit smoking haha ) | 04:26 |
| overclucker | bjrohan: does the partition mount alright as ext4? | 04:27 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure i have another one: at this moment im running on gnome-shell but i've downloaded some extensions , when i reboot and log back into gnome-shell session, they just turn off, and i have to loaded them back from gnome-tweak-tool, is there an option to let it enable each boot time ? | 04:27 |
| bjrohan | yep. I had mounted it and then did an rsync over ssh that worked on spot | 04:27 |
| RobbieCrash | how can I find what started a program? | 04:27 |

| Mr_Cool59 | hear is my problem i have a laptop with two ATI graphics cards in it one is a hd4200 series that will require me to insatll the legacy 12.6 version and the other card is a 6300 wich can use the newest driver my question is which do i install and how do i get them to both work if i use the newest drivers on ubuntu 12.10 | 04:28 |
| RobbieCrash | overclucker That's what I couldn't think of! thanks | 04:28 |
| overclucker | RobbieCrash: ps -ef | grep find | 04:28 |

| RobbieCrash | thanks | 04:29 |
| overclucker | RobbieCrash: you're welcome | 04:30 |
| bjrohan | overclucker, do I add auto after defaults like defaults,auto,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr? | 04:30 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad youd have to add them to your start up manager | 04:31 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure i'll try | 04:32 |
| overclucker | bjrohan: defaults automatically sets these options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async | 04:32 |
| bjrohan | Hmm, then why may it not automount? | 04:32 |

| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure the thing is that i need to tune up as well i like and its a little tricky to me at this moment, but you're great man! | 04:44 |
| Xtremeasure | bjrohan: not gonna lie to you man that a bit above my level most i can do for you is do some digging like i do everyone else maybe point you to an article or two | 04:46 |
| stylinmylen | not sure how this works, it's my first time using xchat | 04:46 |
| DaemonicApathy | OliviaF: Might want to upgrade to a 300, if nothing else. | 04:46 |
| OliviaF | DaemonicApathy, that'd be nice. | 04:46 |
| OliviaF | If I had money | 04:46 |
| bjrohan | could it be it is set up as ext4? although I am not so sure it was formatted that way | 04:46 |
| OliviaF | but as I has no job. I have to make due with what I have | 04:47 |
| bjrohan | At the time of formatting, is that when you determine what filesystem, or somewhere else? | 04:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | OliviaF: Fair enough. They only go for 40 or 50 dollars, but sometimes even that's outside the budget | 04:47 |
| stylinmylen | I just installed ubuntu studio and am trying to figure out how to dual monitor. When i got to settings it doesn't have an option to switch from mirrored to two seperate screens | 04:47 |
| OliviaF | Indeed. | 04:47 |
| OliviaF | It's not even a year old | 04:47 |
| OliviaF | It's why I had to reinstall windows, cause my old one died | 04:47 |
| Xtremeasure | bjrohan: yes you have to chose the format for it to format haha | 04:47 |
| * DaemonicApathy doesn't go with anything Belkin anymore. | 04:47 | |
| bjrohan | ok | 04:48 |
| bjrohan | I thought when I did it I chose just 83 | 04:48 |
| bjrohan | whatever that is | 04:48 |

| Xtremeasure | i have a nice alfa upstairs love it | 04:49 |
| stylinmylen | anyone have a clue about the dual monitor issue? | 04:49 |
| OliviaF | Xtremeasure, my old belkin card never gave me trouble. | 04:50 |
| Xtremeasure | olivia what was your problem im sorry i didnt get to read it and am to lazy to scroll | 04:50 |
| Xtremeasure | im on a roll tonight | 04:50 |

| OliviaF | kay | 04:51 |
| DaemonicApathy | Stray thought, OliviaF: is your wireless adapter enabled? | 04:51 |
| bjrohan | Xtremeasure: thanks will give it a go | 04:52 |
| OliviaF | DaemonicApathy, it should be | 04:52 |
| Xtremeasure | lol | 04:52 |
| OliviaF | It still blinks in ubuntu | 04:52 |
| Xtremeasure | maam did you turn the device on | 04:52 |
| Xtremeasure | hahaha | 04:52 |
| Don_Rad | hahahah | 04:52 |
| stylinmylen | Anyone know how to un mirror my dual monitors? When I go to display settings, there's no way to change it. | 04:52 |
| Xtremeasure | lol olivia i think i found a thread with a fix for your problem | 04:53 |
| DaemonicApathy | OliviaF: Last time I had that issue, my adapter was enabled when the indicator suggested it was disabled. A quick function key combo fixed me right u. | 04:53 |
| DaemonicApathy | *up | 04:53 |
| OliviaF | ah | 04:53 |
| Xtremeasure | olivia do me a favor and pastebin me the out put to lsusb | 04:53 |
| OliviaF | Sure, I'l be back after I do that | 04:54 |
| DaemonicApathy | stylinmylen: Is it recognizing both displays, in the settings > Displays section? | 04:54 |
| Don_Rad | is anywhere here on freenode where i can get help whit cinnamon desktop ? | 04:54 |
| stylinmylen | thank you for responding! yes it is. | 04:54 |
| xangua | Don_Rad: the mint channel | 04:55 |
| DaemonicApathy | stylinmylen: and the dropdown menu only has the mirror option when you click on it? | 04:55 |
| xangua | !mint | Don_Rad | 04:55 |
| ubottu | Don_Rad: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 04:55 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_Rad: see man it has its drawbacks =P | 04:56 |
| stylinmylen | all it has is the two displays, when i click on one, the choices are either use this display or don't, the refresh rate, resolution, reflection, and rotation | 04:57 |
| Don_Rad | ok Xtremeasure thanks :) | 04:57 |
| stylinmylen | there's no mirror box to check/uncheck or anything besides that | 04:57 |
| DaemonicApathy | Give me a few, stylinmylen. I'll brb, but I haven't forgotten about you. ;-) | 04:58 |
| emdub | are there any #ubuntu-* channels that specialize in knowledge of update-manager? | 04:58 |
| stylinmylen | ok. thanks. ps. how do i reply with your name? just type your name? | 04:58 |
| Xtremeasure | what do you need to know emdub | 04:58 |
| Xtremeasure | thats what i do style | 04:59 |
| emdub | Xtremeasure: just need some in-depth knowledge about using a local mirror for a release-upgrade... i have it working but i'm trying to figure out how to make the "failed to read mirror" error go away | 04:59 |
| stylinmylen | ok. thanks xtremeasure | 04:59 |
| emdub | it's a lot of python and i'm not sure how the mirror files interact | 04:59 |
| vulcanmum | ugg, I'm back to windows, something happened to ubuntu, I'm not a programmer so I can't fix it | 05:00 |
| Xtremeasure | emdub: check this article out if you cant resolve your problem with this let me know and we will do some digging http://askubuntu.com/questions/13911/upgrading-10-04lts-10-10-using-custom-sources | 05:01 |
| DaemonicApathy | stylinmylen: To the right of the On/Off switch, you have no checkbox? And are you on 12.04 or 12.10? | 05:01 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 05:02 |
| vulcanmum | oh oops I was reading that article before I realized it wasn't for me doh | 05:03 |
| stylinmylen | DaemonicApathy: No check box to the right, not sure how i can check version. I'm still quite novice in ubuntu. | 05:03 |
| Xtremeasure | stylinmylen: what graphics chipset are you using | 05:04 |
| Xtremeasure | ati, nvidia, intel >? | 05:04 |
| emdub | Xtremeasure: thanks for the link, i'm way deeper than any links on google at this point though :) i've modified /etc/update-manager/meta-release+release-upgrades properly, set the RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY variable, etc but there is still something i am missing in how distinfo.py does its thing | 05:04 |
| DaemonicApathy | stylinmylen: In a Terminal, you can enter "lsb_release -a" | 05:05 |
| emdub | Xtremeasure: it works (the upgrade completes from a local mirror) but there is still an error in the process and i don't know enough about python to know how to debug it (also the fact that the release upgrader uses the compiled python makes it difficult because i don't know how to compile python :) | 05:05 |
| stylinmylen | Daemonic: 12.04 | 05:06 |
| emdub | anyway, i can keep banging at it, i just figured i would see if there was anyone who had messed with this around | 05:06 |
| Xtremeasure | well compiling python isnt hard as far as reading it or writting it thats wayyy above my level i can do simple scripts and thats it lol | 05:07 |
| stylinmylen | xtremeasure: um. i'm actually not positive. I'm guessing ati | 05:07 |
| emdub | lspci should tell you what kind of video card you have, fyi | 05:07 |
| Xtremeasure | i believe thats where your problem lies to be sure run lspci | 05:07 |
| Xtremeasure | and post the out put in a paste bin and give us the link | 05:08 |

| stylinmylen | how can i get to amd catalyst control center from ubuntu? apologies if this sounds stupid. | 05:13 |

| emdub | if it's a simple question i know a thing or two about zfs | 05:14 |
| Xtremeasure | ok olivia have you used ndiswrapper with that card? | 05:14 |
| OliviaF | Nope | 05:15 |
| rublind | well, 1) what does a zpool scrub really do? and 2) this is the second time after a reboot that my zfs data is all gone (even though it says the right capacity/used/blah/bah) | 05:15 |
| Xtremeasure | and your saying it sees wireless networks >/? | 05:15 |
| OliviaF | Xtremeasure, it doesn't | 05:16 |
| emdub | scrub is for iterating through a pool a correcting any errors it finds | 05:16 |
| OliviaF | If it showed wireless networks, I wouldn't be here lol | 05:16 |
| Xtremeasure | oh man olivia i believe i have your fix | 05:16 |

| wols_ | toonzies: you must not use fglrx however | 05:33 |
| akis | wols: is that simple? and how can i choose it as default? | 05:33 |
| toonzies | for my case unity was completely gone. no side bar or main bar... defaulted to low graphics mode. This was after an upgrade from 12.04 | 05:34 |
| wols_ | yes. cause you used fglrx | 05:34 |
| toonzies | so i should remove fglrx? | 05:35 |
| lilbaztard | hola | 05:35 |
| Jimster480-L | so the new Ubuntu doesnt work with fglrx? | 05:35 |
| Jimster480-L | is that what you are saying there wols_ | 05:35 |
| wols_ | toonzies: only if you want unity to work and have a decent resolution | 05:35 |
| wols_ | Jimster480-L: no I don't. | 05:35 |
| toonzies | heh that is what i want... plus I'd like to use my other monitor | 05:35 |

| Jimster480-L | wols_: that doesnt really answer my question? "no i dont"?? | 05:36 |
| wols_ | Jimster480-L: it does | 05:36 |
| toonzies | wols_: ill give that a go and report back =) | 05:36 |
| wols_ | Jimster480-L: maybe you should learn to ask proper questions, ie ask what you actually want to know | 05:37 |
| Jimster480-L | wols_: I asked you a direct question since you were advising this person to uninstall fglrx. But you instead gave me a incomplete and answer and are now trying to turn this on me. | 05:38 |
| wols_ | Jimster480-L: ok. The new Ubuntu works with fglrx just fine. better? I clearly aswerered the question you asked | 05:39 |
| Jimster480-L | wols_: So then if it does, why were you telling that person to uninstall it? | 05:40 |
| Xtremeasure | lol she quit on meh | 05:40 |
| toonzies | i have a video card that is poorly supported by the manufacturer | 05:40 |
| wols_ | cause in his case it won't work anymore | 05:40 |
| Xtremeasure | oh nvm shes back | 05:40 |
| wols_ | toonzies: well, if you have a agp card doesn't help of course | 05:40 |
| WeThePeople | what is desktop.ini used for | 05:40 |
| wols_ | Jimster480-L: amd stopped radeon hd 4xxx support in fglrx | 05:41 |
| Jimster480-L | wols_: oh i see. Well there is a fglrx legacy driver. I came across it the other day when i was messing around with my fglrx for this new kernel | 05:41 |
| Jimster480-L | What are you serious? Thats what I have in this laptop T.T | 05:41 |
| wols_ | just use radeon | 05:42 |
| djapo | Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. what will replace it ? | 05:42 |
| Jimster480-L | nothing djapo | 05:42 |
| thetodd__ | in a perfect world there would be no more flash | 05:42 |
| toonzies | thetodd_ : amen to that | 05:42 |
| Jimster480-L | everyone is SOL until HTML5 really takes off. | 05:42 |
| wols_ | what will chrome for linux do? | 05:42 |
| Jimster480-L | which is incrediblly stupid. As HTML5 is a ways off from becoming mainstream. | 05:43 |
| wols_ | some things can't be done with html5. at least not yet | 05:43 |
| xangua | wols_: like anoying webmages made 100% with flash ;) | 05:43 |
| djapo | what will play video streams tho, from places like youtube? | 05:43 |
| thetodd__ | youtube already does a lot of HTML5 | 05:44 |
| wols_ | youtube does html5 video for years now. youtube will be fine without flash | 05:44 |
| xangua | wols_: if you mean Google Chrome, it comes with a bundled flash and it's also the only way to get flash above of 11.2 | 05:44 |
| Programmer_ | what's the difference in rlogin and ssh | 05:45 |
| Programmer_ | b/c im pentesting metasploitable 2 and by using rlogin i get a terminal w/o having to authenticate | 05:45 |
| Xtremeasure | wols_ : depends it will tell you to update your flash through chromium and firefox | 05:45 |
| wols_ | Xtremeasure: firefox has no inbuilt flash so it fully depends on the adobe plugin that won't exist anymore | 05:46 |
| Jimster480-L | as far as I heard chrome wont be getting flash updates anymore either. | 05:47 |
| Xtremeasure | wols_: if you read, yes html5 is the slim lined players but anything that runs an add on the video will not work | 05:47 |
| Xtremeasure | it needs flash to run videos with adds | 05:48 |
| xangua | Jimster480-L: yes, it is | 05:48 |
| xangua | wols_: no one said flash will no longer exist, just that is stoped development for linux | 05:48 |
| Xtremeasure | and it isnt supported by default you have to opt for it | 05:48 |
| xangua | wols_: it still has some secutiry updates, i recieve one last week | 05:48 |
| Xtremeasure | if you guys would like to try out the html5 youtube heres the link | 05:49 |

| riqdiiz | what will happen if i change my dynamic ip? | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Xtremeasure: or use chrome, with its own flash built in, works well | 05:52 |
| Xtremeasure | nah im good with chromium but everyone pointing people to html5 player for flash lock ups isnt a solution especially since the settings pose a security risk for users that know to little to work around it | 05:53 |
| * riqdiiz waves hello | 05:53 | |
| ActionParsnip | Xtremeasure: maybe, but html5 doesn't work if you want flash games online | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | riqdiiz: on what device is the IP set? | 05:53 |
| toonzies | wols_: ok just so I'm clear so I don't reproduce this on other boxes that currently have 12.04, fglrx... what is the proper way to upgrade to 12.10 when using <radeon hd 5 series? Did I miss an option ditch fglrx? | 05:54 |
| [deXter] | Flash games? do people still play those? | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | [deXter]: loads here | 05:54 |

| riqdiiz | Ubuntu 9.04 pc | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | [deXter]: and all the farmville etc folks play on facebook | 05:54 |
| Xtremeasure | not so much flash games but anything that you need to allow with the new window decorator causing a lock up keeps you from setting data stored or turing off hw acceleration | 05:54 |

| bjrohan | when formating a USB drive in gparted, is it wise to use the default msdos table (vs amiga, bsd, loop etc) | 05:57 |
| riqdiiz | where i come from very remote :) | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | riqdiiz: its still EOL | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | riqdiiz: its like calling Microsoft tech support for WIndows 98 support. It's dead | 05:57 |
| Xtremeasure | bjrohan i use the default msdos tables | 05:57 |
| bjrohan | ok, then since ext4 seems to have not worked, use ext2 filesystem? | 05:58 |
| Xtremeasure | but then again im not trying to mount for the same reasons you are | 05:58 |
| Xtremeasure | what are you trying to do with the hardrive | 05:58 |
| bjrohan | simply use the 1TB drive as a backup / storage, nothing more | 05:58 |
| Xtremeasure | and it doesnt auto mount them on plug in ? | 05:59 |
| Xtremeasure | im assuming they are external | 05:59 |
| riqdiiz | ok do me a favour to send me a copy of the latest release? | 05:59 |
| bjrohan | Xtremeasure: after testing it on the Linux channel, foud that it didn't hold any info, yes it is external. After formatting adding the UUID to fstab | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | riqdiiz: do you not have a neighbour who can sort you out? | 06:00 |
| Don_Rad | hi all | 06:00 |
| DaemonicApathy | riqdiiz: Can you not download it? | 06:00 |
| Xtremeasure | see my usb externals auto mount by themselves no changes needed bjrohan | 06:00 |

| Xtremeasure | both formated and setup with gparted | 06:01 |
| bjrohan | But they could automount to the wrong place if you don't use UUID. for instance you plug in a different USB drive, it will automount to the same place as the original. could suck | 06:01 |
| Xtremeasure | ah i see what your trying to do | 06:01 |
| Xtremeasure | you want one logical location for the drives | 06:02 |
| riqdiiz | it's impossible you ll have to sell your family to download it here :) | 06:02 |

| wols_ | ktil: install the smartcard how? | 06:02 |
| Xtremeasure | bjrohan depends | 06:02 |
| Xtremeasure | did you rebuild the partition table on the hd? | 06:03 |
| bjrohan | WHen I went into gparted, it basically had an error with nothing recognized, no partitions, so in making a partition, a primary msdos partition ext2, will it format it? | 06:04 |
| Xtremeasure | go ext 4 and yes | 06:04 |
| Xtremeasure | it will partition | 06:04 |
| Xtremeasure | but only after you apply the changes | 06:04 |
| bjrohan | ext4 seemed to not work last time | 06:04 |
| bjrohan | ok | 06:04 |
| Xtremeasure | well if it doesnt work again we can go ext 2 | 06:05 |

| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: journals are handy | 06:06 |

| sywisy | wols_: I just installed the latest propetary drivers from ubuntu | 06:07 |
| sywisy | ActionParsnip: no, i guess i should do that then? | 06:07 |
| Xtremeasure | thats a complete guide | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sywisy: it will install the proprietary video driver for you | 06:07 |
| bjrohan | Xtremeasure: the nfs-config :-) | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ktil: does /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 file exist? | 06:08 |
| bjrohan | ntfs config | 06:08 |
| wols_ | ktil: the don't create the symlink | 06:08 |
| Xtremeasure | doesnt matter you have the entry into fstab for the file correct? all you have to do is change the values to fit your need if im not mistakin | 06:08 |
| ktil | wols_ yes the file exist | 06:09 |
| Xtremeasure | your doing the same thing but instead of ntfs your mounting an ext4 drive | 06:09 |
| sywisy | ActionParsnip: how do I configure which video driver i am using? | 06:10 |
| sywisy | ActionParsnip: i installed nvidia-current, how do i make it be used? | 06:10 |
| wols_ | sywisy: installing it should have created a xorg.conf which specifies the driver | 06:11 |
| Xtremeasure | djrohan your entry into fstab should look something like this UUID=482ACC132ACBFC46 /dev/sda1 ext4 defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0 | 06:11 |
| Xtremeasure | just follow the first half of that guide and build the entry then manually enter it without using the ntfs tool | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sywisy: reboot | 06:12 |
| sywisy | wols_: where is this? When I run 'dpkg -L nvidia-current | grep xorg', I don't see any xorg.conf | 06:14 |
| wols_ | sywisy: it's a created file which means it can't show up there | 06:14 |
| wols_ | sywisy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:14 |
| sywisy | wols_, my org.conf just says the driver is 'nvidia', how is this to help me determine which driver is being used? | 06:20 |
| fsckfstab | hello everbody, when I upgraded to 12.10 my windows partion no longer automounts as it used to. When I boot Ubuntu complains that it can't mount the partion, yet when I investigate it's allready mounted! running "mount -a" manually from the error-recovery root shell also works. I use the UUID of the drive in my fstab, and didn't change it at all anywhere near the time I upgraded. | 06:21 |
| danman1453 | Hello | 06:21 |
| danman1453 | Can anybody here help me with a small problem installing 12.10? | 06:22 |
| fsckfstab | I think the issue is that my partition is being mounted to a directory with spaces in the name. I use the "\040" exacape sequence, but I think when upstart trys to mount, is over resolveds those excape sequences | 06:22 |
| Xtremeasure | whats the problem danman1453 | 06:23 |
| wols_ | sywisy: it tells you it uses the nvidia driver, cause that's its name | 06:23 |
| danman1453 | The bottom portion of my screen is cut off. | 06:23 |
| sywisy | wols_, i have lots of nvidia drivers, so it doesn't tell me anything :/ | 06:23 |
| Xtremeasure | how so ? | 06:23 |
| fsckfstab | i used ps to investigate the process that was trying to mount, and it didn't have any sort of quotiing or "\ "-ing in the arguments to it | 06:23 |

| sywisy | wols_, how do i see what the name maps to? | 06:24 |
| wols_ | sywisy: no you don't | 06:24 |
| wols_ | sywisy: there is only one nvidia driver | 06:24 |
| danman1453 | I have been stumblinghrough the install using tab and enter | 06:24 |
| Random832 | fsckfstab: ps wouldn't... there's no easy way to tell using ps whether an argument has a space in it or is split into two arguments | 06:24 |
| Random832 | you'd need to hex dump /proc/.../cmdline to be sure | 06:24 |
| sywisy | wols_, there's nvidia driver by nvidia but also by 3rd parties, and different versions | 06:24 |

| wols_ | sywisy: you can have only one. not several. and if you did install many, you broke it | 06:25 |
| danman1453 | I cant adjust the resolution. | 06:25 |
| fsckfstab | though since i need to reboot to do that, any other ideas what might be the problem? | 06:25 |
| Xtremeasure | if your doing it during setup youd have to add a boot tage | 06:26 |
| Xtremeasure | tag** | 06:26 |
| Random832 | anyway, the first time i booted into 12.10 it complained it couldn't mount /tmp | 06:26 |
| Random832 | went away the next boot | 06:26 |
| Xtremeasure | before you boot to the install cd | 06:26 |
| sywisy | wols_, yeah, so how does it work? how do i tell which of installed drivers is being used | 06:26 |
| wols_ | sywisy: the single one you installed. how often do I have to tell you: you cannot have several installed. CAN NOT | 06:26 |
| danman1453 | How would i halt the setup booting to add the tag? | 06:26 |
| sywisy | wols_, ok, well i had a driver before, and i just installed a new one | 06:27 |
| Random832 | and no idea and i have to go to bed, sorry | 06:27 |
| sywisy | wols_, are you saying this auto-uninstalled the other driver? | 06:27 |
| wols_ | sywisy: which means you overwrote the old one | 06:27 |
| wols_ | depends how you installed it. did you install it via ubuntu packages from ubuntu repos or did you use nvidia.com drivers? | 06:27 |
| Xtremeasure | during the splash screen when your booting to the dvd / usb it gives you options to tag the boot with | 06:27 |
| sywisy | wols_, what is the default location for nvidia driver? | 06:27 |
| Xtremeasure | you can cycle through them with f keys | 06:27 |
| sywisy | wols_, /usr/lib32/nvidia-current? | 06:28 |
| wols_ | sywisy: answer my question | 06:28 |
| danman1453 | I will restart and try and grab it at the splash screen. | 06:28 |
| sywisy | wols_, my bad, from apt-get | 06:28 |
| wols_ | sywisy: and your actual problem is what? | 06:29 |
| danman1453 | What might the tag(s) be? | 06:29 |
| sywisy | wols_, glxgears doesn't run | 06:29 |
| abisen | how do in install a service to the init subsystem in Ubuntu 12.04 i have the script that works how do i ensure it get's executed on reboots | 06:29 |
| sywisy | wols_, i.e. my 3d video performance is bad | 06:29 |
| wols_ | sywisy: check your Xorg.0.log which driver is used exactly | 06:29 |
| Xtremeasure | wols_ couldnt her just run lshw -C Display | 06:30 |
| Xtremeasure | it should list his used devices and the driver assigned | 06:30 |
| wols_ | the log has the advantage of showing all errors that might have occured too :) | 06:31 |
| danman1453 | Ok... got to the splash menu | 06:31 |
| fsckfstab | Random832: thanks | 06:31 |
| Xtremeasure | ah i see | 06:31 |
| fsckfstab | yeah i think i originally had this issue when i first set it up on like 11.10 or something | 06:31 |
| Xtremeasure | nvm then dont mean to step in was just asking to learn more myself ;) | 06:31 |
| wols_ | and I don't know: does lshw show the version of the driver too? | 06:31 |
| fsckfstab | and then it went away | 06:31 |
| sywisy | wols_, how do i find Xorg.0.log? it's not in /etc/X11 | 06:31 |
| wols_ | Xtremeasure: and does it show what X uses or what the kernel has for drivers? | 06:31 |
| wols_ | sywisy: it's a log and is therefore in /var/log | 06:32 |
| vulcanmum | hi room | 06:32 |

| Xtremeasure | that sounds good dan | 06:41 |
| Xtremeasure | yeah from what he said super he was missing a good portion of his screen | 06:42 |
| SuperEngineer | ouch | 06:42 |
| danman1453 | I got the the username screen without ever seeing the buttons. Stalled there though. | 06:43 |
| Xtremeasure | haha | 06:44 |
| Xtremeasure | damn dude you made it through the whole install without the bottom half of your screen ? | 06:44 |
| Xtremeasure | you are a better man than myself | 06:45 |
| danman1453 | Im relatively proficient wit computers.... i just dont know enough about ubuntu. And im tired. | 06:45 |

| DaemonicApathy | If anyone else has the issue where closing/opening a laptop lid(or suspending and resuming) causes a machine with Intel chipset to freeze, make sure the <distro>-updates repo is activated, and update the graphics drivers if possible. There have been several fixes included recently. | 06:47 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure ubuntu at all have touchscreen support? i mean from 11.10 versions and up? | 06:47 |
| Xtremeasure | 12.10 does i believe | 06:47 |
| Xtremeasure | not 100 sure though | 06:47 |
| DaemonicApathy | Compiz has supported touchscreens for awhile now. | 06:48 |
| DaemonicApathy | And Unity is practically begging users to have them. | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | Xtremeasure: Ubuntu has had touchscreen support for years, that doesn't neccessarily mean that your particular hardware will be supported though. | 06:48 |
| learner | hi how to hide your ip from showing up in xchat in ubuntu 12.04? | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | !cloak | learner | 06:49 |
| ubottu | learner: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | learner: If you get a cloak, and configure your client to login properly, that cloak will replace your hostmask (which is what shows your ip address). | 06:50 |
| DaemonicApathy | Or use a proxy. | 06:50 |
| crimsonmane | pick a proxy at spys.ru | 06:50 |
| learner | what is a cloak? | 06:50 |
| crimsonmane | a cloak is how you hide your IP, which is what you asked | 06:51 |
| Don_Rad | Xtremeasure im planning to make an project for a restaurant with ubuntu cpu and a touchscreen with a software called quickorder | 06:51 |
| crimsonmane | so just follow the steps and say thank you | 06:51 |
| learner | crimsonmane, jordan ubottu thanks | 06:51 |
| Don_Rad | but we are just on talkings about costs and usability | 06:51 |
| RayzrShrp | anybody know why my /var/log/syslog is showing a bunch of dns errors about RFC 1918 response from the internet? | 06:52 |
| brainiarc7 | Hello, how do I install the AMD Proprietary Driver on Ubuntu 12.10? | 06:52 |
| Xtremeasure | Don_rad i wouldnt say its impossible just have to make sure you hardware is supported as was said earlier | 06:52 |
| DaemonicApathy | Is quickorder compatible with ubuntu? | 06:52 |
| Don_Rad | DaemonicApathy is compatible with ubuntu/win/macos | 06:52 |
| danman1453 | Xtreme... no change. | 06:53 |
| RayzrShrp | are my bind settings wrong? i just installed it out of the box with apt-get install bind | 06:53 |

| Xtremeasure | still didnt work bjrohan ? | 06:55 |
| bjrohan | I am running badblocks on it now, should take 70 hours+ I understand | 06:56 |
| RayzrShrp | is there a way to remove bind and reinstall it easly? | 06:56 |
| crimsonmane | sudo apt-get purge bind && sudo apt-get install bind | 06:56 |
| Xtremeasure | ^ | 06:56 |
| crimsonmane | all one line | 06:56 |
| Xtremeasure | beat me to it | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | bjrohan: What problem do you have and what is your end goal? If you're trying to recover data from a failing drive, badblocks is *not* a good thing to do. | 06:56 |
| crimsonmane | :) | 06:56 |
| RayzrShrp | im hoping that does it | 06:57 |
| RayzrShrp | i think my bind configs are wrong | 06:57 |
| bjrohan | Nope, fresh drive | 06:57 |
| Xtremeasure | nah jordan hes trying to automount it through his fstab for back up purposes | 06:57 |
| crimsonmane | note: sudo apt-get [remove][bind] - the difference is [remove] leaves your settings intact for future installs, while [purge] leaves no trace of the program's existence. | 06:57 |
| bjrohan | Jordan_U earlier today I formatted the USB drive on my destkop server machine to use as a backup for my laptop client via ssh. I did an rsync backup, a bit later my internet was down, so I rebooted the modem, and computers. When the server came up, it couldn't mount the USB drive | 06:58 |
| bjrohan | after checking it was all kaput, no partition etc, even though before shutdown, I was navigating the rsync files on it | 06:59 |
| crimsonmane | wow i must be tired. i did not mean [remove][bind] i meant [remove][purge] | 06:59 |
| [deXter] | lol | 06:59 |
| bjrohan | Jordan_U I have since repartitioned te drive ext4 again and it was suggested I run badblocks as a precaution | 06:59 |
| TJ- | bjrohan: One issue you should be aware of. Sometimes, a USB device transferring large amounts of data over the bus can get confused and end up dropping off the bus. Often it appears to be caused by insufficient power on the bus. Ensure the device is self-powered with an adequate supply, and is connected directly to a USB2 or 3 port on the PC's primary controller (a rear connection on many desktop PCs - can be any on a laptop) | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | bjrohan: Have you checked the SMART data from the drive? | 07:00 |
| danman1453 | No luck xtreme | 07:00 |
| Xtremeasure | nothing in there helped you lol damn | 07:00 |
| bjrohan | TJ, the USB drive is plugged into the back, and is powered by a separate supply | 07:00 |
| Xtremeasure | i must be slipping dan | 07:00 |

| Jordan_U | bjrohan: You can check a drive's SMART status via "Disk Utility" (palimpsest). | 07:02 |

| Xtremeasure | man i just got this laptop today an upgrade from an old dell 32bit now im 64 and wanna up dont feel like backing everything up lol | 07:04 |
| TJ- | On a related note, what tiodi comes up with those unintelligible names for the disk tools? First there was baobo for the GUI du, now we have palimpsest for the disk tool. So obvious! | 07:04 |
| RayzrShrp | it looks like the reverse dns is hosed or something | 07:04 |
| RayzrShrp | shouldnt ubuntu bind9 install from apt-get as a caching dns server? | 07:04 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: If the forwarders are configured correctly | 07:07 |
| Jordan_U | bjrohan: Do you understand how to check your drive's SMART status and why it's important? | 07:07 |
| RayzrShrp | TJ-: those aren't configured out of the box? | 07:08 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: How can they be? They are different per-connection! They come from the ISP. | 07:08 |
| bjrohan | I am looking into it. | 07:09 |

| bjrohan | looking at how to check it on lubuntu | 07:09 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: If you want caching, why are you using bind? By default dnsmasq is installed to handle that. | 07:10 |
| RayzrShrp | TJ-: im not even sure lol maybe i dont even need bind on my ubuntu box | 07:10 |

| RayzrShrp | TJ-: i thought i could point all my computers and stuff at my house at the ubuntu as a local dns server | 07:11 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: If it is a recent Ubuntu release and it's purely a client workstation configuration, dnsmasq is configured with resolvconf to do the right thing as network connections come up | 07:11 |
| RayzrShrp | TJ-: so i guess it would just be a forwarder then? | 07:11 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: Yes. You can also reconfigure dnsmasq to act as a local server with entries in its configuration file, as well as being a caching forwarder | 07:12 |
| RayzrShrp | TJ-: well poop, so if i remove bind9 is dnsmasq going to be broken? | 07:13 |
| bjrohan | Jordan_U my laptop is running Kubuntu, do you know how to check the Smart info in Kubuntu or Lubuntu? | 07:13 |
| wols_ | RayzrShrp: no | 07:13 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: smartctl -a /dev/sda | 07:13 |
| RayzrShrp | TJ-: one thing is im cli into ubuntu, not using gnome | 07:13 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: I think that'll be something you'll find out :p ... You can always reinstall it using "sudo apt-get --reinstall install dnsmasq" though | 07:13 |
| TJ- | RayzrShrp: I use dnsmasq on my gateway server. It's highly customised, here's the config file just to give you a flavour of what you can do, and what options to investigate. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1291375/ | 07:15 |

| danman1453 | I will ix it once it up and running. | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | bjrohan: There is probably a QT application for doing it, or you can install Palimpsest, or you can use the "smartctrl" command from a terminal, for example "sudo smartctlr -H /dev/sdb". | 07:16 |

| bazhang | cheshair, getting a driver via script, and dropbox no less is not the correct way to install the driver | 07:23 |
| saurabh_ | cheshair: which graphics card do you have? maybe the driver you installed is not compatible with your chipset | 07:23 |
| bazhang | cheshair, install it from the ubuntu package manager. or contact the PPA maintainer of that script | 07:23 |

| bjrohan | I unmounted, and am in the /media dir | 07:39 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: your card is so old, the normal nvidia drivers are fine | 07:39 |
| of1 | I installed snort 2.9.3.1 from source on Ubuntu 12.4. for testing snort i run nmap -v -sS -O -sV -sC 192.168.1.162 but there is no any alert . snort only generating empty alert file . Here is my syslog: http://pastebin.com/SzyyspLy Anyone can help me please? | 07:39 |
| bekks | cheshair: Who told you to manually install the driver? | 07:40 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| cheshair | wols_: :-) ok, sorry, i do really understand i did something wrong, i am trying hard to get my system back, and i would like to have some video acceleration | 07:40 |
| bekks | cheshair: And when using x-swat, why dont you stick with that then? | 07:40 |
| bjrohan | wols_: message about card to wrong person :-) | 07:40 |
| wols_ | cheshair: for starters, don't use compiz when using X | 07:40 |
| wols_ | that way you don't get that problem and you can troubleshoot the problem why compize is not working | 07:41 |
| cheshair | wols_ bekks: i'll try to get rid of the manually installed driver | 07:41 |
| Guest89123 | i am using ms visual studio 2010 and sql server 2008 both run on ubuntu????????? any one give me advise or answer | 07:41 |
| wols_ | Guest89123: you were given both already | 07:41 |
| bekks | Guest89123: No. Both do NOT run on anything but Windows. | 07:41 |
| Guest89123 | (bekks)so i can say that ubuntu not support windows msi,exe ...etc | 07:43 |
| bjrohan | wols_: Grr, what do I enter at the command line to change permissions? what i tried failed | 07:43 |
| Guest89123 | (bekks)so i can say that ubuntu not support windows msi,exe ...etc | 07:43 |
| bekks | Guest89123: Which is not true. You can use wine to get certain things running, but these do NOT include MSVC2K10 and MSSQL2K8. | 07:44 |
| gordonjcp | Guest89123: if you want to run MS Visual Studio and MS SQL Server, you need some version of Windows | 07:44 |
| gordonjcp | Guest89123: if you want to do something similar on Linux (or any other OS, for that matter) then there are different ways to go about it | 07:45 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: what did you try? | 07:45 |
| gordonjcp | Guest89123: What exactly are you trying to do? | 07:45 |
| cheshair | wols_: isn't compiz necessary to run unity smoothly? | 07:45 |
| wols_ | cheshair: you need to troubleshoot. no unity for you :) | 07:45 |
| bjrohan | I tried it via the nautlius GUI, it didn't take | 07:45 |
| wifioregon | ALT+TAB isnt working now that I have 12.04. I use gnome classic. Any idea on how to fix it?ALT TAB is such an important command for me. I cant live without it! | 07:46 |
| wifioregon | oops I mean 12.10 | 07:46 |
| gordonjcp | wifioregon: define "isn't working" | 07:46 |
| cheshair | wols_: i see :-) | 07:46 |
| wifioregon | gordonjcp: when I use ALT+TAB to switch windows, it doesnt do anything at all. As if I had only typed ALT | 07:46 |
| wifioregon | gordonjcp: OMG i'm an idiot! Its the keyboard! I thought it was because I upgraded. The key must have broke. | 07:47 |
| Guest89123 | gordonjck)---i want to install ubuntu and run my normal application ms office visual studio and other exe and executable files | 07:47 |
| bjrohan | wols_: I used nautilus which failed, I tried sudo chmod 755 /media/BACKUP which failed | 07:47 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: have you tried using chown? | 07:48 |
| bekks | Guest89123: Which is impossible. You have to have some windows to do so. A virtual machine would be enough. | 07:48 |
| mhart_ | Hi all, i'm having issues with dnsmasq on quantal, apparently something isn't responding on DBus as it should. "dnsmasq not available on the bus, can't update servers." and "Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq': no such name" found in syslog. | 07:48 |
| wifioregon | gordonjcp: Ugh wait...wrong computer. Its not working. sorry tired | 07:48 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: What is the syntax? | 07:48 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: this.... sudo su -c 'chown -R name:name /media/disk-2' [change swarp to required user/group name, change disk-2 to disk or partition name] | 07:48 |
| wols_ | !errors | bjrohan | 07:48 |
| ubottu | bjrohan: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 07:48 |
| wifioregon | Is there anyway to configure commands in gnome classic? I need to fix the ALT+TAB | 07:48 |
| Guest89123 | gordonjcp:i want to install ubuntu in my pc and run my normal application ms office visual studio and other exe and executable files | 07:49 |
| bekks | Guest89123: Which is impossible. You have to have some windows to do so. A virtual machine would be enough. | 07:49 |
| blackshirt | guest89123, run it on windows , lol, | 07:49 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: have a check in terminal using "man chown" for full list options/useage | 07:50 |
| blackshirt | guest89123, if it possible run directly, that would bring windows stupidity to your box | 07:50 |
| mhart_ | Guest89123: Wine under ubuntu can allow you to run several windows applications. But I wonder why you want to run ubuntu if you're just wanting to use windows apps? | 07:50 |
| bekks | blackshirt: Please stop it. | 07:50 |
| robertzaccour | After installing proprietary drivers my screened is off scale zoomed out with a black border around the edges. I've read about xrandr but its a bit confusing and not sure what to do. Any suggestions? | 07:51 |
| blackshirt | guest89123, run it on windows or run through some emulator ... It just the way you should choose | 07:51 |
| robertzaccour | I just want to scale my screen in from zoomed out to filling the display like it was before installing the proprietary driver | 07:51 |
| robertzaccour | anyone familiar with xrandr? | 07:52 |
| Guest89123 | tell me all what is super advantage of ubuntu bcoz i am not working my normal world class software?????????????????????????????????ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL | 07:52 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: what happens if you use the display control panel to simply adjust the resolution? Or is it literally scaled and believes it's at the right res? | 07:52 |
| wols_ | robertzaccour: which driver? and start running xrandr without any arguments, what res are availabe? | 07:52 |
| bekks | Guest89123: It is another operating system, and there is no "normal world class software" out there. Do you have another specific Ubuntu problem? | 07:52 |
| robertzaccour | wols_, I changed back to the open source driver. I'm gonna install proprietary again then try the display control panel brb | 07:53 |
| wols_ | Guest89123: stop that. if you want to run linux software, run ubuntu. if you want to run windows software, run windows | 07:53 |
| blackshirt | Guest89123, nothing .... | 07:53 |

| toonzies | are all video card makers less than supportive for linux? | 07:53 |
| gsq | hello everybody | 07:54 |
| islandmonkey | toonzies: What card do you have? | 07:54 |
| lanlantop | ubuntu 12.10 download size and ubuntu 12.10 torrent dowmload size are different......which one is correct | 07:54 |
| wols_ | toonzies: no. intel is very supportive for example. out of intel, only two others actually exist | 07:54 |
| Guest89123 | any one give me advantage of ubuntu????????????? | 07:54 |
| islandmonkey | Hi gsq | 07:54 |
| wols_ | toonzies: and they are supportive too, up to a point | 07:54 |
| mhart_ | toonzies: it's changing for the better thankfully, but the ati/amd and nvidia cards these days are pretty well supported, and intel stuff feels quite well supported for example | 07:54 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, I'm installing the proprietary driver, rebooting, then gonna check display properties brb | 07:54 |
| bekks | Guest89123: Would you PLEASE STOP using more than ONE punctuation sign? | 07:54 |
| wols_ | Guest89123: this is not the channel for this. use #ubuntu-ot for this. this is a support channel only | 07:55 |

| wols_ | cheshair: your gt520 should already be supported by nouveau. so is a radeon 5450 or 6450 via the radeon driver | 07:56 |
| toonzies | islandmonkey wols_ mhart_ in all reality... which is easiest for my customers to use Unity... I need a good recommendation for them | 07:57 |

| lanlantop | islandmonkey: just wanna know, what is the difference between browser download image and torrent download image of 12.10 - there sizes are different | 07:58 |
| toonzies | i cannot ... in good confidence recommend a .... windows system | 07:58 |
| bjrohan | whois SuperEngineer | 07:58 |
| bjrohan | whois: SuperEngineer | 07:58 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, the display properties says 1920x1080 | 07:58 |
| IdleOne | bjrohan: /whois | 07:58 |
| cheshair | gordonjcp wols_ : i see, thanks for your tips. indeed i didn't manage to have my gt520 working with nouveau in 12.10 :-( | 07:58 |
| bjrohan | who is this masked man | 07:58 |
| gordonjcp | lanlantop: sounds like one of the downloads is broken; md5sum them | 07:58 |
| islandmonkey | toonzies: NVIDIA or Intel are best | 07:58 |
| bjrohan | thanks | 07:58 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, but the screen is zoomed out with a black border around the screen. I wonder if scaling in is possible | 07:58 |
| lanlantop | gordonjcp: i don't know.....browser download size is 763MB something and torrent download size is 800MB | 07:59 |
| mhart_ | lanlantop: torrent download requires that you take the .torrent file they provide and use a bittorrent client to perform the download, browser download downloads the file directly | 07:59 |
| gordonjcp | !md5sum | lanlantop | 07:59 |
| ubottu | lanlantop: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 07:59 |
| robertzaccour | Is it possible to adjust scaling by zooming in so that the display fills the monitor and makes the black border around it go away? | 07:59 |
| toonzies | islandmonkey NVIDIA is what im HIGHLY leaning towards for nux boxes now | 07:59 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: what's the driver you installed? | 07:59 |
| SuperEngineer | wols_: thanks for the whois... give me two secs... I'm jhalf covered in shaving gel atm | 07:59 |
| wols_ | SuperEngineer: huh? | 07:59 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, the fglrx one but the system info says VESA: Juniper | 08:00 |
| islandmonkey | toonzies: Then go ahead with that then. | 08:00 |
| aeplus | is there an "alternate" iso for 12.10? | 08:00 |
| bekks | aeplus: No. | 08:00 |

| mhart_ | robertzaccour: do you know what the gfx hardware in your machine is? | 08:00 |
| lanlantop | mhart_: i am using linux 12.04.1 and it has transmission built in so i am only saying the size of downloaded sizes.....btw whats the actual size of ubuntu 12.10 | 08:00 |
| toonzies | islandmonkey best choice in your opinion for the easy to transition to Ununtu? | 08:00 |
| wols_ | toonzies: you use a videocard which isn't even supported by the manufacturer of the chip and then complain it doesn't work very well? also: what is the problem with "radeon" driver? | 08:00 |
| === Fike_ is now known as Fike | ||
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: didn't know how to see if you were still on or not | 08:01 |
| toonzies | wols_ well the default upgrade situ is bad for those with 12.04 and ati radeon less than 5.x | 08:02 |
| toonzies | otherwise i love it all | 08:02 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, Its Radeon 5700 0r 5770? | 08:02 |
| robertzaccour | one of those 2 | 08:02 |
| toonzies | its certainly not ubuntu's fault | 08:02 |

| charleyfoxtrot | toonzies i had trouble upgrading with radeon HD 6300 | 08:03 |
| ElixirVitae | Hi! | 08:03 |
| charleyfoxtrot | just had to ditch the ATI drivers and use the open / default | 08:03 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: and which version of Ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| islandmonkey | toonzies: Well, an Intel card requires no proprietary drivers to run fully. A NVIDIA card, if you want gaming, requires a proprietary card to run. It's not that much hassle however to set up. | 08:03 |
| blackshirt | hi elixirvitae | 08:03 |
| SuperEngineer | ok, I'm back [shave done & now not dripping gel onto kbd!]... what was the question? | 08:03 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, 12.10 | 08:03 |
| ElixirVitae | When I start an application from terminal and want to close the terminal, application also closes, any workaround to that? | 08:03 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, tbh this caling issue happens by default in windows, but with the ati software control center there's a tab where I can adjust scaling. I'm hoping I can do the same in Ubuntu. | 08:04 |
| wols_ | toonzies: that didn't answer my question: why don't you like the "radeon" driver as you said earlier? | 08:04 |
| islandmonkey | ElixirVitae: No don't think so | 08:04 |
| blackshirt | elixirvitae, place it in background with & | 08:04 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341891 - does this sound like your issue? | 08:04 |
| Pitel_IPEX | how do I enable and configure my machines for remote logins in quantal? | 08:04 |
| islandmonkey | Oh OK^^ | 08:04 |

| ElixirVitae | Ampersand makes it run independently, hmm. | 08:05 |
| ElixirVitae | Gracie! | 08:05 |
| alienaut | hello, i updated my ubuntu 12.10 now i have problems | 08:05 |
| wifioregon | alienaut: LOL same here | 08:05 |
| islandmonkey | !vague | alienaut | 08:05 |
| wifioregon | alienaut: Im going back to 12.04. 12.10 is way too buggy | 08:06 |
| bjrohan | I have successfull given my mount directory no permissions except for ROOT by chown. How do I do just about the opposite? | 08:06 |
| alienaut | sometimes when i open my computer i see black screen | 08:06 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: an easy method is open nautilus - right click on any of your own files... look at permissions tab | 08:06 |
| toonzies | wols_ well initially i had a 12.04 setup with ... i believe the catalyst drivers (not sure to be truthful) ... that worked... meh... enough. Im pretty sure it wasnt using the full extent of it. After an upgrade.... omg. It reminded me of the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Im positive its an AMD thing tho | 08:06 |
| mhart_ | Pitel_IPEX: install openssh-server perhaps? | 08:06 |
| bjrohan | I changed the ownership in nautilus the first time but it didn't even take as root | 08:06 |
| blackshirt | superengineer, nautilus doesn't support acl,if you play with it | 08:06 |
| alienaut | and i cant see some videos on my browser | 08:07 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, according to the later posts they downloaded the driver from the ati website it looks | 08:07 |
| alienaut | like http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm | 08:07 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: eg mine would shown xxx-yyy, I use xxx as the name:name | 08:07 |
| toonzies | wols_ i just think i can no longer refer my customers to ati/amd | 08:07 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, but I don't know what the link to get to it is or how to do it if I get there. | 08:08 |
| alienaut | when 12.10 go stable? | 08:08 |
| lanlantop | any hotmail channel ?? | 08:08 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: something like http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx maybe? | 08:08 |
| wols_ | toonzies: if you think that then you need to say the same about nvidia or any proprietary drivers | 08:08 |
| toonzies | wols_ what is my best recommendation for ubuntu/nux then? | 08:09 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: in Nautlius it shows me as the owner, group is root Owner, group and othrs can all create and delete files | 08:09 |
| toonzies | i need constant support outside of... winblows | 08:09 |
| wols_ | toonzies: libre videodrivers | 08:09 |
| islandmonkey | alienaut: It is stable already. However, there may be bugs unfixed of course | 08:10 |
| islandmonkey | alienaut: Did you not clean install? | 08:10 |
| mhart_ | anyone having issues with dns on wireless (with dnsmasq) on Quantal? | 08:10 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: use [for name:name] whatever is shown as "me"] | 08:11 |
| toonzies | wols_ looks like an nVidia solution? | 08:11 |
| Pitel_IPEX | mhart_: http://ubuntuportal.com/2012/10/ubuntu-quantal-quetzal-adds-support-for-remote-desktop-login-screen.html i mean this feature, it has nothing to do with ssh afaik. | 08:11 |
| alienaut | i formated it and installed via usb stick | 08:11 |
| wols_ | mhart_: state your actual problem | 08:11 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: what is name:name | 08:11 |
| wols_ | toonzies: how do you come to this conclusion? | 08:11 |
| mhart_ | Pitel_IPEX: ah, sorry, then I misunderstood your question | 08:11 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: like user@host? | 08:11 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: your username | 08:11 |
| bjrohan | so I am owner and group | 08:11 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, ok thanks, now just gotta get it to install. hope it goes well | 08:12 |
| toonzies | wols_ from the link you have given "Nouveau: Accelerated Open Source driver for nVidia cards" | 08:12 |
| mhart_ | wols_: I'm getting "dnsmasq not available on the bus, can't update servers." and "Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq': no such name" found in syslog and no name resolution. | 08:12 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: in the example sudo su -c 'chown -R name:name /media/disk-2' | 08:13 |
| bjrohan | Please someone tell me what to log into that computer as, and what ti type in the command line to get the ownership and permissions of the directory correct so I can mount the drive, and have access to everything on it | 08:13 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: that is the name:name bit | 08:13 |
| bjrohan | In nautlius I can change owner group and all settings till the cows come home | 08:13 |
| Name141 | Is there anything 12.10 brings to the table that's super-duper got to have (and not in the LTS?) | 08:13 |
| mhart_ | bjrohan: is it a windows/FAT volume? | 08:13 |
| wols_ | toonzies: so is radeon | 08:14 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: I do NOT understand where to put my brohan:brohan stuff, brohan is my username on that machine | 08:14 |
| bjrohan | mhart_ ext4 | 08:14 |
| wols_ | toonzies: and which link did I give you? | 08:14 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, I clicked to install, now loading very slowly. I think I might go to sleep and check on it later. | 08:14 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: instead of name:name | 08:14 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: good luck | 08:14 |
| toonzies | wols_ "http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/" | 08:14 |
| bjrohan | WHERE DOES NAME:NAME go?? | 08:14 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, Its stuck in the loading thing in text editor | 08:14 |
| bjrohan | please stop using name:name it means nothing to me at this point as a noob | 08:15 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: are you behind a proxy? | 08:15 |
| wols_ | toonzies: where did I give you this link. my log can't find it | 08:15 |
| toonzies | wols_ your help is unimagineably appreciated | 08:15 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, I dunno, don't think so. Its slowly loading | 08:15 |
| bjrohan | so I change it to brohan:brohan, now what? | 08:15 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: ah, ok. | 08:15 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: in the example sudo su -c 'chown -R brohan:brohan /media/themountnameofdiskorpartition' | 08:15 |
| toonzies | wols_ its all good... there is a flood of questions | 08:15 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: then you press enter so the command gets executed | 08:15 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, I didn't know it loads in text editor | 08:15 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: the ' marks are part of the command | 08:16 |
| mhart_ | robertzaccour: I'm not familiar with the install process, sorry. | 08:16 |
| wols_ | toonzies: no. you make no sense and I detect sarcasm. which means my temper rises. quickly. and I can hold more than one conversation at a time usually | 08:16 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, oh its ok. worst case scenerio I'm stuck with the slower open source drivers but not a big deal | 08:16 |
| toonzies | wols_ im serious... you are the only one im filtering out from all this. I NEED your help | 08:17 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: thank you. what does su -c do? | 08:17 |
| toonzies | wols_ no "sarcasm" intended | 08:17 |
| wols_ | mhart_: are you actually using dnsmasq? is it installed? dpkg -l dnsmasq | 08:17 |
| mhart_ | wols_: yes, dnsmasq-base is installed just as it was pre-upgrade from precise to quantal | 08:18 |
| xukun | grub install fails after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10. now I,m trying to chroot but I get this error: chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 08:18 |
| blackshirt | dnsmasq was installed by default | 08:18 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: that escaltes [for the one command only] the user [you] to the correct level to perform the command | 08:18 |
| wols_ | toonzies: nouveau and radeon are the names of the free, libre drivers for nvidia and amd cards. they all work fairly well. nouveau is still a bit more immature cause it started later than radeon | 08:18 |
| bjrohan | SuperEngineer: okay. In nautilus as ROOT I can access the drive, as a mere user NOGO. it didn't work :-( | 08:18 |
| Jimster480-L | ? | 08:19 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: is the drive still mounted? | 08:19 |
| mhart_ | wols_: dnsmasq itself is not, but that wasn't needed for precise and I would have thought if it were a requirement for quantal that it would have been installed during the upgrade process (of course, I understand it's possible someone missed a requires line) | 08:19 |
| SuperEngineer | bjrohan: *please* do not use things like su without direct knowledge of it & it's consequences though | 08:19 |
| wols_ | mhart_: what I don't get is why DBUS would care about dnsmasq | 08:19 |
| bjrohan | I unmouted it, did the CHOWN, then remounted it via sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/BACKUP | 08:19 |
| toonzies | wols_ so what is the proper method if i just did a default upgrade (whilst using an ati radeon 4670 catalyst) setup? | 08:20 |
| bjrohan | wols_: I unmouted it, did the CHOWN, then remounted it via sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/BACKUP | 08:20 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: and the permissions of the mount point are what now? | 08:20 |
| xukun | any body please: grub install fails after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10. now I,m trying to chroot but I get this error: chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 08:20 |
| bjrohan | wols_: the same as befoe: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 19 23:12 /media/BACKUP | 08:20 |
| wols_ | toonzies: as I told you, you were bitten by the drop of support for HD2000-4000 cards from ati with fglrx. if you had used the "radeon" driver in 12.04, no problem | 08:20 |
| mhart_ | wols_: it's network manager, it uses dnsmasq to handle a separation of concerns for dns lookups, so I get dnslookups on one name server for my vpn traffic (specific name bases for internal machines) and on another for everything else. | 08:21 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: chown it while it's mounted. unmount, make sure it still has brohan:brohan as owner, then remount | 08:21 |
| bjrohan | wols_: In nautlius I show owner and group as owenr | 08:21 |
| mhart_ | wols_: because of this I guess it needs to tell dnsmasq what to do when a new connection appears | 08:21 |
| bjrohan | wols_: I need to be owner and group correct? | 08:22 |
| mhart_ | SuperEngineer: why sudo su -c rather than just sudo -c ? | 08:22 |
| wols_ | mhart_: but dnsmasq doesn't know about DBUS. that's desktop mumbo jumbo while dnsmasq is a simply, easy to use console only server *shrug* | 08:22 |
| wols_ | bjrohan: pretty much,yes | 08:22 |
| toonzies | wols_ so how do I "fix" this after the fact of selecting defaults in the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10? | 08:22 |
| wols_ | toonzies: as I told you before. by uninstalling fglrx | 08:22 |
| mhart_ | wols_: I understand that, that's kinda why I'm asking my question I guess... what's changed? :) | 08:22 |
| mhart_ | wols_: besides, dbus isn't quite just "desktop mumbo-jumbo", it's just a simple messaging bus I thought? | 08:23 |
| wols_ | mhart_: yes, for desktop mumbo jumbo :P | 08:23 |
| wols_ | toonzies: if you need fglrx (radeon and nouveau are slower than proprietary drivers) you could hunt for that fglrx legacy thing somewhere | 08:24 |
| mhart_ | wols_: fine, fine :) We use it for other stuff in various projects as a message bus rather than more heavyweight things like rabbit and activemq etc. | 08:24 |
| wols_ | mhart_: my guess some interface thing which actually is the dbus component for dnsmasq is not there or faulty. but I have no clue which one would that be | 08:25 |
| mhart_ | wols_: thanks for your attention though, guess I'm gonna have to dig some more :( | 08:25 |
| SuperEngineer | mhart_: because a long time ago when I first needed to know this answer myself every piece of search came back with that soloution | 08:25 |
| SuperEngineer | *research | 08:25 |
| mhart_ | SuperEngineer: I guess a long time ago, sudo didn't support the option maybe? | 08:26 |
| bjrohan | wols_: Now it shows this, I can write files as the user, but why does it now show a w in rwx? drwxr-xr-x 3 brohan brohan 4096 Oct 20 01:24 /media/BACKUP | 08:26 |
| bjrohan | now - not | 08:26 |
| SuperEngineer | mhart_: maybe | 08:26 |
| ^Lem^ | hi all, is anyone else having problems with LibreOffice in 12.10 not having a global menu at all? and, if managing to get it to appear (by opening LO itself, then dragging a document onto it), does it actually do anything? | 08:27 |
| robertzaccour | mhart_, Its almost 1/4 of the way on the progress bar haha. going to sleep, gonna check it out later. | 08:28 |
| Calinou | ^Lem^: there should be global menu integration in 12.10... prior to 12.10 you had to use a plugin | 08:28 |
| ^Lem^ | Calinou: There does appear to be integration by default, but I think it's actually broken. opening a spreadsheet via nautilus results in Calc not having any global menu (and thus no menu at all) | 08:29 |
| toonzies | wols_ i think i understand the situation. I thank you for getting me there. It was just a shock for me ...considering i bought the v card only 4 years ago. | 08:29 |

| SuperEngineer | wols_: just saw your "then you press enter so the command gets executed"... you forgot "and then you let go of the enter button" ;) | 08:32 |
| Calinou | .gz and .bz2 compresses files only, not folders, unlike .zip, .rar or .7z | 08:33 |
| Calinou | a .tar file is a folder made into a file. it is not compression | 08:33 |
| Calinou | .tar.gz or .tgz or .tar.bz2 or .tb2/.tbz are compressed folders | 08:33 |

| wols_ | kotiki: smartctl long test. it reallocates those sectors then | 08:47 |
| wols_ | if the disk has more bad sectors than it can reallocate, I strongly suggest a new disk | 08:47 |

| Jimster480-L | BlueWolf: you might need to put them in AVI/MPEG format | 09:15 |
| bekks | BlueWolf: And you are unable to get the manual for your TV from the website of Sony? :) | 09:15 |
| Jimster480-L | yea lol u could dl it | 09:15 |
| BlueWolf | Jimster480-L: I tried movies with .mkv .mp4 .m4u .avi and they are not working, more a less the tv is not reading my flash? | 09:16 |
| bekks | BlueWolf: More or less your TV might just not be able to decode those files. | 09:16 |
| obtrusivemouse | can anyone recommend the powr of getwifi? | 09:16 |
| bekks | BlueWolf: .mkv would be a bigger wonder, to be honest. | 09:17 |
| BlueWolf | 09:17 | |
| BlueWolf | bekks: exactly | 09:17 |
| bekks | BlueWolf: Then why are you suspecting your flash card when your TV isnt even able to recognize those formats? | 09:18 |
| Jimster480-L | k well i mean | 09:18 |
| Jimster480-L | almost nothing plays mkv | 09:18 |
| Jimster480-L | that isnt a computer atleast. | 09:18 |
| Jimster480-L | So if you want to play mkv files i suggest you get a android TV or build a HTPC. | 09:18 |
| Jimster480-L | Also Avi is just a container (much like mkv although mkv is more powerful) and can contain a encode that your TV cannot decode. | 09:19 |
| Jimster480-L | you would need to amke sure its in like Mpeg 2 or something like that i bet. | 09:19 |
| Jimster480-L | Better yet what is the model of your TV? | 09:19 |
| BlueWolf | bekks: Well I just concerned that it's got something to do with the format I use in Ubuntu. I tryed fat32 and ntfs? The flash itself is not reading and I have tryed another flash and it's not working as well | 09:19 |
| Jimster480-L | are you sure that its not reading the flash memory at all? have you tried putting something simple like a picutre on there and then testing it to see if it can find the picture? | 09:20 |
| bekks | BlueWolf: Then did you read the manual of your TV now to get to know which SD formats are expected? | 09:20 |

| Jimster480-L | Ergo^: are you on fglrx? | 09:29 |
| sasuke | bekks, :) | 09:29 |
| Jimster480-L | well sh executes anything actually. It just looks for the code inside. | 09:30 |
| Jimster480-L | .txt is just an extension, if you saved a executable as a .txt you could still run it with the right command. | 09:30 |
| Ergo^ | jimerickson, yeah currently i am - i need to go to recovery and ask it to boot normally then it kicks in | 09:30 |
| Ergo^ | Jimster480-L, ^ | 09:31 |
| Jimster480-L | well i think that there is a major issue with fglrx on the new ubuntu. | 09:31 |
| Ergo^ | also http://paste2.org/p/2357940 | 09:31 |
| Jimster480-L | People have been coming into these channels since release with fglrx issues. | 09:31 |
| Ergo^ | Jimster480-L, it seems so - when i boot from revoery catalyst DOES work | 09:31 |
| sasuke | Jimster480-L, oh ok. | 09:31 |
| Ergo^ | as im using it now - it just X dies using normal boot | 09:31 |
| Jimster480-L | but on a recovery version what is it using? the same exact fglrx? | 09:32 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: I kinda doubt it uses fglrx then. how did you check? | 09:33 |
| Jimster480-L | tbh it might be an issue with the version of fglrx that they are shipping with the new release. | 09:33 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: which amd videochip? | 09:33 |
| Ergo^ | wols_, i dont doubt since glxinfo says im on opengl 4.2 :-) | 09:34 |

| phax | Hi guys I am on 12.0.4 LTS and it takes a long time to resolve host names...my isp seems to be ok and working on earlier versions is fine | 09:35 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: hybrid graphics? | 09:35 |
| phax | any ideas? | 09:36 |
| Ergo^ | wols_, http://paste2.org/p/2357940 - this is the dump - the system loads, since if i do ctrl+f1 and then ctrl+alt+del - the system reboots - its just X that crashes | 09:36 |
| ZAKhan | I have issues with wifi on mackbook pro .. the live cd works fine and picks up the broadcom bcm4322 but when i install the os on the harddisk it does not work , can someone help | 09:36 |
| aeplus | strange, burning the 12.10 iso to usb using pendrive usb installer, booted the usb, and a centos 64-bit menu appears | 09:36 |
| Ergo^ | wols_, no a standard discreete graphics on desktop - i also have HD4000 since i have ivy bridge cpu - but i never used it | 09:36 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: I saw it. X itself segfaults. laptop with hybrid graphics? or intel cpu with IGP? | 09:36 |
| aeplus | ... i am on ia32 | 09:36 |
| RagnaRok__ | I have a question will the features from 12.10 be backported to 12.04 you know features like integrated web apps, updated unity, updated unity greeter etc? | 09:36 |
| Ergo^ | intel cpu | 09:37 |
| Jimster480-L | RagnaRok__: usually no there is no issue. | 09:37 |
| bekks | RagnaRok__: Nope. | 09:37 |
| Jimster480-L | RagnaRok__: usually no, the features are not ported* | 09:37 |
| RagnaRok__ | oh well thanks guys | 09:37 |
| Jimster480-L | ZAKhan: are you doing the install from the live CD? And can it just not find the drivers or what? you might just need to turn the wireless itself on | 09:37 |
| Jimster480-L | aeplus: did the drive have centos on it before? because ubuntu isnt even based on centos so im not sure how you would get that lol. | 09:38 |
| Jimster480-L | omfg | 09:39 |
| bekks | aeplus: ia32?? Dont you mix it up with i686? | 09:39 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: remove your displaymanager from upstart so X shouldn't start | 09:39 |
| Jimster480-L | its almost 6AM. I need to go to sleep | 09:39 |
| Jimster480-L | gnite all | 09:39 |
| bekks | aeplus: ia32 hw is about 15y old nowadays. | 09:39 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: then, boot to a console and run "startx" there | 09:39 |
| ZAKhan | Jimster480-L: I installed from the cd and then did the same went to systems settings / additional drivers and activated the breoadcom driver .. but it doesnto activete it and nothing appears inthe networking drop down meny ..the wifi is not apprearing at all | 09:39 |
| Lafiir | What's the program called responsible for showing the Ubuntu logo during boot process? | 09:39 |
| aeplus | oh, i686, sorry... basically mini9 | 09:39 |
| Jimster480-L | ZAKhan: after you enable it you have to reboot for it to take affect. Does it still show the next time you boot? | 09:39 |
| wols_ | aeplus: has the usb stick used for centos before? | 09:39 |
| aeplus | atom n270 | 09:40 |
| Ergo^ | wols_, whats that supposed to solve ? | 09:40 |
| ZAKhan | Jimster480-L: rebooted several times .. that same result .. | 09:40 |
| Jimster480-L | ZAKhan: so it keeps telling you its available but its not installing it? | 09:40 |
| wols_ | Ergo^: you said it works when one waits a bit. debugging for that | 09:41 |
| ZAKhan | Jimster480-L: it gives no error .. when i activate it it does the process . shows that its activated but when i reboot and check it shows only wired connection and no wifi | 09:41 |
| Jimster480-L | Well anyway i need to go to sleep i cannot think anymore. I can help anyone when I get back. But i srsly have to sleep. | 09:41 |
| aeplus | jimster, the disk label in windows is "install ubuntu", but syslinux/splash.jpg contains centos6 properties | 09:41 |
| Jimster480-L | Cya wols_ and ZAKhan | 09:41 |

| riqdiiz | i tried to do a fragal install but the sys says no available partion how do i go about it? | 09:41 |
| ZAKhan | anyone using 12.10 on a mackbook pro? | 09:42 |
| bekks | riqdiiz: Whats "fragal"? | 09:42 |
| riqdiiz | i m trying to install a Damn Small Linux | 09:43 |
| bekks | riqdiiz: Which has nothing to do with Ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| IdleOne | DSL is not supported in this channel, try ##linux | 09:43 |
| riqdiiz | ok I thought they use the same kind of Kernel | 09:44 |
| bekks | riqdiiz: They do. But that doesnt make it supported in here. | 09:44 |
| mhart_ | riqdiiz: it's kinda like asking for support for Windows NT in a channel called ##vista | 09:45 |
| riqdiiz | ok bekks let me try the ##linux | 09:45 |
| aeplus | wols_, i will check the partitions and reformat the USB, but if it helps /.disk/info contains "ubuntu 12.10 ... (20121017.2)" | 09:45 |
| mhart_ | good luck riqdiiz | 09:45 |
| riqdiiz | ok let me see what it says | 09:45 |
| wols_ | aeplus: it's the bootloader that would be important, not the directories it contains. a single usb stick can comtain many installers | 09:45 |
| wols_ | e.g. YUMI | 09:46 |
| * riqdiiz waves bye | 09:46 | |

| CommaCrazy | and do your thing wols_ | 10:09 |
| Lafiir | wols_: of course not | 10:09 |
| wols_ | Lafiir: you can unload the sound modules for your kernel | 10:10 |
| wols_ | lsmod |grep snd | 10:10 |
| krababbel | abdelghani: there are websites that do this | 10:11 |
| kostkon | Lafiir, delete your .pulse folder, logout and login back again | 10:11 |
| abdelghani | any software to do so | 10:11 |
| kostkon | Lafiir, go into your home folder, press CTRL+H, find the .pulse folder and delete it, then logout, etc. | 10:11 |
| Lafiir | kostkon: tried that already. I think wols_ option is probably the only way until I find out what exactly broke | 10:12 |
| krababbel | Lafiir: I'd enter in terminal 'pulseaudio -k' first | 10:12 |
| krababbel | Lafiir: you can find out using 'pacmd' if pulse finds your card correctly, maybe you need a special module option, maybe ask in #pulse | 10:13 |
| kostkon | Lafiir, ok | 10:14 |

| Lafiir | wols_: uhm, how do I remove the module? | 10:16 |
| jan271 | Good morning everyone! After spending two days and triing out all possible solutions on the forum I have come here fore more suggestions. My issue: nvidia propletary driver causes black screen when I boot ubuntu. No matter what I do. I have tried installing linux headers, linux source, rinstalling drivers, nothing bloody works. What else can i try? | 10:16 |
| wols_ | with rmmod, but do what kostkon advised you first. removing the snd modules is a bit radical | 10:16 |
| wols_ | jan271: what nvidia chip and how did you install it? from ubuntu repos? | 10:17 |
| Lafiir | wols_: killing pulse did not have any effect (first thing I tried). and unloading didn't work because it's in use. I am not very good at Linux :( | 10:18 |
| jan271 | wols_: I have tried installing nvidia-current, nvidia-experimental and nvidia-current-updates from ubuntu repo | 10:18 |
| wols_ | Lafiir: he told you more things. like removing your user's pulseaudio config | 10:19 |
| wols_ | jan271: check your Xorg.0.log then | 10:19 |
| kostkon | Lafiir, open your sound prefs and try lowering your volume levels and see if that makes any difference | 10:19 |
| cardiel | where is gnome 3 logfile located? | 10:20 |
| jan271 | wols_: just a second, need to chroot from liveCD since the recovery mode hangs due to a bug | 10:20 |
| islandmonkey | Shouldn't someone remove the release party link in the notice? It's been 2 days since release now | 10:20 |
| islandmonkey | cardie1: Most logs are found in /var/log | 10:20 |
| wols_ | islandmonkey: long party :P | 10:20 |
| cardiel | islandmonkey, yes but i cant find any logfile for gnome 3 there.... | 10:20 |
| wols_ | gnome usually does not have a logfile | 10:21 |
| islandmonkey | No, I don't think so | 10:21 |
| Lafiir | kostkon: using soundprefs is not an option the device-list is bugging out (or something). I tried softer measures already before asking about killing the entire soundsystem. At this point I suspect something broke on kernel level | 10:23 |

I need this computer to finish two c++ projects for school, so I am willing to try anithyng.. would reinstalling Ubuntu or installing some alternative drivers from orther repo help? | 11:10 |
| enq | then i don't get it, what's wrong | 11:10 |
| noobAndy | MATRIX1: in home/Downloads do ls | grep joomla | 11:10 |

| researcher | how to convert pdf to excel? | 11:12 |
| Danny6167 | MATRIX1, ls /home/asher-desktop/ and see if the Joomla_2.5.0-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz is listed in there | 11:12 |
| mhart_ | wols_: I know the use of 127.0.1.1 is intentional (to avoid binding a name server to an address that other services listen on) but I wonder why this isn't a problem for other people? Is 127.0.1.1 in your /etc/hosts for example? | 11:12 |
| cfhowlett | researcher: can't convert. You MIGHT be able to copy the contents and paste to a spreadsheet. | 11:13 |
| wols_ | mhart_: it has to be when it's used. mine doesn't use it so it's not | 11:13 |
| jan271 | wols_: it boots, but it freezes at random to the point i have to reboot computer, i cant watch video, it flickers ... | 11:14 |
| noobAndy | MATRIX1: use Gui then just copy and paste | 11:14 |
| researcher | cfhowlett: ok | 11:14 |
| MATRIX1 | cool | 11:14 |
| MATRIX1 | now is ok | 11:14 |
| mhart_ | wols_: you explicitly disabled dnsmasq? | 11:14 |
| jan271 | also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36yNWw_07g | 11:14 |
| MATRIX1 | but i dont understand why i cant copy file and past in www | 11:14 |
| wols_ | mhart_: I run debian :P and my dnsmasq actually does what it's supposed to do: giving DNS to my network | 11:14 |
| mhart_ | wols_: hah, fair enough. Mine used to until I upgraded to quantal. | 11:15 |
| wols_ | MATRIX1: ls /home/asher-desktop/Joo* | 11:15 |
| noobAndy | MATRIX1: sudo chown /var/www | 11:15 |
| auronandace | MATRIX1: if you don't have permissions to write there then it won't let you | 11:15 |
| noobAndy | MATRIX1: coz like i said before u don't have the write permissions | 11:15 |
| wols_ | mhart_: btw, 127.0.1.1 actually exists and is pingable. not real need to put it into /etc/hosts | 11:15 |
| MATRIX1 | thanks | 11:16 |
| wols_ | noobAndy: then he would get another error message. like "permission denied" | 11:16 |
| mhart_ | wols_: yes, I get that, I'm just surprised that resolv.conf doesn't get updated to use 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1 and now trying to work out why. | 11:17 |

| MATRIX1 | this my problem | 11:18 |
| wols_ | MATRIX1: no. that's your next problem. current problem is, your mv command doesn't find the source file | 11:18 |
| mhart_ | wols_: if I use nslookup and set server explicitly to 127.0.1.1 then I can resolve things, so dnsmasq works, but libc isn't being informed to use it :/ | 11:19 |
| MATRIX1 | ok but how i can make if i copy file and i past | 11:19 |
| obtrusivemouse | anyone use pytyle? | 11:19 |

| SnapSnap | Ripper003, You could download the ISO, use UNetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) to create a Live USB and boot from USB. The installer will give you the option to install Ubuntu alongside OSX or overwrite it. | 12:20 |

| SnapSnap | Ripper003, As I understand it, the installer would ignore the OSX partition already installed and write a new partition over it. Then it would install Ubuntu to this partition. If you keep both operating systems, you will have access to the OSX partition through Ubuntu. I did the same thing with Windows to transfer my old files to Ubuntu. | 12:22 |

| iceroot | Aleksander: in the past we had to remove some programs from the cd so that it still fit on 700mb (gimp for example got removed, also libreoffice full) | 13:01 |
| MATRIX1 | ? | 13:01 |
| iceroot | Aleksander: we dont want to remove something in the future so we decided to not use 700mb limit anymore | 13:02 |
| iceroot | MATRIX1: remove what? | 13:02 |
| iceroot | MATRIX1: you mean undo the change you did with chown? | 13:02 |
| Aleksander | iceroot, thank you | 13:02 |
| MATRIX1 | yes | 13:02 |
| iceroot | MATRIX1: /var/www belongs by default to root, so you did not change anything | 13:02 |

| dArKd3ViL | i dragged it to trash, but when i open omgubuntu site, the app icon re-appears back on the launcher | 13:12 |
| blacksheep__ | brian__: no, it doesn't work. I think the problem could be that I didn't have firefox installed during the upgrade | 13:15 |
| blacksheep__ | brian__: should a window show up, or what exactly? | 13:15 |
| dArKd3ViL | sigh :( | 13:19 |
| blacksheep__ | dArKd3ViL: tell me, how did you install the icon in the 1st place .. I can't seem to be able to install webapps | 13:19 |
| dArKd3ViL | blacksheep__ you need firefox installed | 13:20 |
| wastrel | guise unity crashed on me | 13:20 |
| dArKd3ViL | blacksheep__:after that, go to preferences>general tab | 13:21 |

| dArKd3ViL | blacksheep__: then just visit gmail/facebook.. and a lil notification popup will appear asking whether you want to install the particular web app for the site, hit install if you want to | 13:23 |
| aharoni | And while I was upgrading, I experienced this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1068555 | 13:23 |

| Halexander9000 | Greetings gentlehumans! Could someone please help me with a problem? The thing is, I just installed ubuntu on a mobile hard-drive off of a month and a half old DVD of Ubuntu.

| Halexander9000 | Can someone here please help me? Pretty please? | 13:27 |
| blacksheep__ | dArKd3ViL: the odd thing is that I did have Chromium installed, and it says Chromium supports ubuntu webapps, so it should have worked there ... | 13:27 |

| MonkeyDust | Halexander9000 it works, you're in | 13:29 |
| cfhowlett | Halexander9000: yes | 13:29 |
| Halexander9000 | Oh good. So, what do? | 13:29 |
| gp5st_ | hello. i'm having an issue with X starting. The rest of the laptop, a d630, seems to work fine. http://gp5st.com/Xorg.0.log is the log. Any help will be much appriciated | 13:29 |
| blacksheep__ | dArKd3ViL: it says the package is already installed ... Argh, I really wanted to try the webapps thing :X | 13:29 |
| Halexander9000 | It's stuck while displaying this on the final step of the install process "Unable to load pageProblem occurred while loading the URL file:///usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow/slides/index.htmlError opening file: No such file or directory" | 13:30 |
| blacksheep__ | should i remove & install again? | 13:30 |
| Halexander9000 | Should I force kill the process? | 13:30 |
| Halexander9000 | Will it have any serious consequences if I do? | 13:31 |
| zykotick9 | gp5st_: to get a bigger audience, i'd suggest using a pastebin vs your xorg.log download. see "/msg ubottu paste" in your irc client for details. | 13:31 |
| Halexander9000 | Should I wait instead? | 13:31 |
| gp5st_ | X has previously worked. I'm not sure that I've done or changed anything beyond standard updates (I am up-to-date according to apt). The video card is is a NVIDIA G86M Quadro | 13:31 |
| gp5st_ | zykotick9: i'm on irssi. i don't have a webbrowser | 13:31 |
| Halexander9000 | Because this is taking way much more than installing ubuntu in the first place. | 13:31 |
| Halexander9000 | I mean, come on, it's just an upgrade. | 13:31 |
| dArKd3ViL | blacksheep__: then, a workaround is, if you want it really bad, goto software-center and search with a query, "unity-webapps" and you shall get all the webapps list you can download | 13:31 |
| zykotick9 | gp5st_: since when is irssi a web browser? I thought that was an irc client (it's the one i use). | 13:31 |
| MonkeyDust | gp5st_ in irssi, right click on a link, open | 13:31 |
| Halexander9000 | And someone else needs the computer right now. As in, I have to reboot in windows. | 13:31 |
| Halexander9000 | Help please? | 13:32 |
| gp5st_ | zykotick9: it's not. I'm at the command line. I'm not sure how I would put the file in pastebin or into irssi | 13:32 |
| zykotick9 | !pastebinit | gp5st_ | 13:32 |
| ubottu | gp5st_: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:32 |
| Halexander9000 | It's stuck while "Detecting file systems..." | 13:33 |
| gp5st_ | well then give me a second | 13:33 |
| Halexander9000 | And the Sistem Manager says the process is sleeping right now. Should I kill it? Anyone? Please? | 13:34 |

| gp5st_ | zykotick9: no, I used what ubuntu provided in propritary drivers iirc | 13:37 |
| Halexander9000 | There's an actual person here who needs the computer to do something else. | 13:37 |
| zykotick9 | gp5st_: that's good! BUT "Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)" suggests nvidia driver is NOT installed. | 13:37 |

| blz | til4k, yeah I'd use NFS, but there are windows clients =/ | 14:10 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: I'm trying to install nvidia-current from apt-get right now. We'll see if this one works. | 14:10 |
| dustinspringman | Dougie187: software sources thing is just the front end of synaptic.. I use command line b/c I am used to it.. but yes, in the software manager try "nvidia-settings" run the "nvidia-config" and see what happens | 14:10 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: Yeah. Software sources was what I was using last night. But I'm trying it in apt-get now (since that's what I'm use to also. :P) | 14:10 |
| dustinspringman | Dougie187: Thats a good place to start... it sounds like you are getting the driver loaded but its not being saved either in the xorg.conf file or something like that and defaulting when you reboot | 14:11 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: this is the first version that I've had a hard time with the video drivers. I had been running fine since 06.06 | 14:11 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: maybe. just nvidia-settings gets pissed and says it doesn't have any driver that it can use. | 14:11 |
| Dougie187 | Another question to anyone who knows. Is there a way to get pidgin to be in the messaging menu? | 14:12 |
| dustinspringman | Dougie187: I had similar issues in 11.. 12.04 has been real smooth.. 12.10 had a couple missing dependencies but then all was well | 14:12 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: good to know. Do you know if 12.10 cleaned up the multi-arch some more? | 14:13 |
| bekks | Dougie187: Then finally check wether you really use the nvidia driver. Just instaling them isnt sufficient to be sure. | 14:13 |
| til4k | why do ppl insist on upgrading, i like a nice fresh start | 14:13 |
| Dougie187 | bekks: how do you do that? | 14:13 |
| til4k | its only twice a year | 14:13 |
| bekks | Dougie187: By taking a look into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 14:14 |
| til4k | if your tweaks and GUI setup is so precious dont upgrade | 14:14 |
| til4k | k im about to get ubottu'ed for chatting ill shut up | 14:14 |
| til4k | afk | 14:14 |
| Dougie187 | bekks: Ok. I'll check that after this is done. | 14:14 |
| ThothCastel | I am trying to create a folder to develop a website under /var/www/ | 14:14 |

| ThothCastel | why is that>? | 14:14 |
| dustinspringman | Dougie187: I use only x64 and everything seems legit.. didn't have any issues on that ffront.. though I've only loaded it to play.. i am on LTS for my production system | 14:14 |
| ThothCastel | 'permission denied' | 14:14 |

| bekks | ThothCastel: OUCH. Now you messed it up. | 14:15 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: Obvious you have no clue about permissions. :) | 14:15 |
| ThothCastel | I am trying to assign the right permissions | 14:15 |
| ThothCastel | theoretically I undersntand it... just haven't put it into practice yet | 14:16 |

| ThothCastel | however it just seems that it does not work | 14:17 |
| fomg-optimize | Its called an extreme sport | 14:17 |
| til4k | ThothCastel, bekks is being a lil bit of a dbag but relax yo | 14:17 |

| bekks | ThothCastel: Then learn on how to NOT use 777 :) | 14:19 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: Which user does not have sufficient permissions? | 14:19 |
| bekks | And why dont you just put that user into the group /var/www/ belongs to? | 14:19 |
| ThothCastel | blz: ok... lol.. I just want to paste a directory that contains the files of my website inside the /var/www directory... | 14:19 |
| blz | ThothCastel, and your permissions aren't taking? | 14:20 |

| furrypants | what the heck is the keyring thing? I havent figured it out | 14:20 |
| blz | ThothCastel, yeah I don't actually have a solution. But I've encountered that before and it's very frustrating. I just wanted to let you know you're not crazy | 14:21 |
| cygnuskk | hey all, software sources in ubuntu 12.10 crashed and won't start, how can i fix it? | 14:21 |
| ThothCastel | I simply want to give x user full permissions to that folder | 14:21 |
| ThothCastel | blz: thanks yo! ;) | 14:21 |
| ThothCastel | in a ubuntu machine, doesn't the default user, when first installed, have administrator permissions? | 14:22 |
| freijon | hey. I'm trying to watch a DVD with my new laptop. Totem keeps telling me "The movie could not be read". I installed libdvdcss2, that used to do the job. is it possible that it doesn't work cause I have a blueray drive now? | 14:23 |

| bernard__ | Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place but still I'll ask. So I started to use ubuntu (Pinguy) week ago and I love it!! I am a trader and I always wanted a stable system to work with however I am using TradeInterceptor (http://tradeinterceptor.com) so it is available on ubuntu however it is based on java and Java is NOT working. I spent like 10h already googling and trying to find a way but it just won't work | 14:26 |
| bernard__ | for me. | 14:26 |
| ThothCastel | how to assign full control to a user in ubuntu? | 14:26 |
| bazhang | bernard__, pinguy is not supported here | 14:26 |
| bazhang | bernard__, search for their channel | 14:26 |
| bernard__ | its the same ubuntu, cmon.. | 14:26 |
| bazhang | !alis | bernard__ | 14:26 |
| ubottu | bernard__: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 14:26 |
| MonkeyDust | bernard__ some 10 people in #pinguyOS | 14:27 |
| freijon | any ideas about that DVD issue? | 14:28 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: You user HAS full control, you can use sudo. | 14:28 |
| bekks | !sudo | ThothCastel | 14:28 |
| ubottu | ThothCastel: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 14:28 |
| sanone | could someone point me to an irc channel for crosscompilation on Ubuntu (for ARM) | 14:29 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-arm sanone | 14:29 |
| sanone | bazhang, thanks | 14:29 |
| ThothCastel | bekks: thanks but it's simply not working!... I applied sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/Procopio.co.uk | 14:30 |
| cebor | is there a chrome channel ? or does somebody know when google chrome does work on quantal ??? | 14:30 |
| freijon | google chrome works on quantal | 14:30 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: WHAT is not working? | 14:30 |
| freijon | I'm using it right now :D | 14:30 |
| ThothCastel | the command went through but in the file 'explorer' I am trying to right click and create a folder.... but the option is faded out | 14:30 |
| cebor | i get an error thats not save to install the .deb from google | 14:30 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: And when being a member of the group /var/www belongs to, you have to set 775 instead of 755. | 14:30 |
| === spupuser is now known as Guest74925 | ||
| freijon | cebor, Google has a repository which has chrome-stable, chrome-beta and chrome-unstable | 14:31 |
| ThothCastel | bekks: it belongs to 'rrot' | 14:31 |
| ThothCastel | 'root' | 14:31 |
| cebor | freijon: ah ok, have you a link for me ?? | 14:31 |
| OerHeks | ThothCastel, if you have started "explorer" ( nautilus) without gksudo, you won't have acces to create a folder | 14:31 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: Then add your user to the group /var/www belongs to, log out completely, log back in, and set this: find /var/www -type d -exech chmod 775 {} \; find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \; | 14:32 |
| Dougie187 | dustinspringman: so I just rebooted after installing nvidia-current, and it doesn't work again | 14:32 |
| bekks | ThothCastel: Then add your user to the group /var/www belongs to, log out completely, log back in, and set this: find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \; | 14:32 |
| Dougie187 | I get a window that says none of the modes work | 14:32 |
| ThothCastel | OerHeks: how can I start the explorer with the gksude?@ | 14:32 |
| Dougie187 | and then I run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 14:32 |
| freijon | cebor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1351541 | 14:32 |

Its my last chance - if some1 has any idea PLEASE help me out because I really do not want to go back to windows but I'll have no choice if this stupid java will not work...

| tacomaster | i bought a laptop from system76 and the wireless is really the only issue when i am at work my wireless connection will be fine for a bit then all of a sudden it will still show that im connected but when you try to ping an ip it fails to even reach the router. i have no other wireless ap's that show up so i dont think it is wireless interference. i did some research on the card and the only think i found on it was to try "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off" | 14:42 |

| bekks | ThothCastel: find /var/www -- Look in /var/www and all its subfolders, -type d -- find directories, -exec chmod 775 {} \; -- execute chmod 775 on the entries you've found | 14:44 |

| kostkon | m4t, don't even attempt to remove either of them :P | 14:44 |
| kostkon | :/ | 14:44 |
| freijon | tacomaster: I have the same problem at school. I think its the wireless security they use there which causes problems with linux. it works everywhere else | 14:45 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | How do i change mouse scroll wheel sensitivity? | 14:46 |

| tucemiux | bazhang, the 18th of this month? | 14:46 |
| bazhang | freijon, using what players | 14:46 |
| kostkon | Corey1, did you search on gnome-look.org or gtk-apps.org? | 14:46 |
| bazhang | tucemiux, yes | 14:46 |
| Lafiir | bekks: that site was a bit useless, since the used/free value of system monitor shows them excluding disk cache. | 14:46 |
| freijon | bazhang: I tried totem and VLC and audience | 14:47 |
| Ancoor | mysql problem solved... apparmor stopped the process, since i kept the apparmor configs from 12.04 | 14:47 |
| bazhang | freijon, and mplayer? | 14:47 |
| bekks | Lafiir: Well, RAM has nothing to do with DISK space... | 14:47 |
| Corey1 | kostkon: no, i will lookup, thx | 14:47 |
| bekks | Lafiir: Absolutely nothing. | 14:47 |
| freijon | I don't like mplayer :/ | 14:47 |
| tucemiux | bazhang, i missed it! Time to update now! And for the first time ever it looks like ubuntu studio is synchronized with ubuntu - I wont have to wait a few more weeks for 12.10 | 14:47 |
| bazhang | freijon, try it nonetheless | 14:47 |
| freijon | and I doubt it will work if it doesn't work with VLC | 14:47 |
| freijon | but okay, I'll try | 14:47 |
| Lafiir | bekks: of course not | 14:47 |
| Guest67644 | oic123 | 14:47 |
| bekks | Lafiir: Then where's the problem in used RAM, unless your computer starts swapping? | 14:48 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | Ok, so yesterday there was a system update for ubuntu and i accepted it, Im not sure if it completed but now I cant log in to gnome desktop, only the default one.... I also cannot finish updating because it wont accept my password for authentication..... any ideas ?? | 14:48 |
| bazhang | freijon, you do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, correct? and got the libdvdcss2 deb from medibuntu.org | 14:48 |
| freijon | bazhang: dunno and yes. I'll reinstall ubuntu-restriced-extras. mplayer didn't work btw | 14:49 |
| tucemiux | bekks, my wireless is working fine with windows o.O I'm about to install ubuntu studio on my ultrabook, we'll see if the wireless still works | 14:49 |
| bekks | tucemiux: Why shouldnt it? | 14:49 |
| tucemiux | bekks, ive always had some type of problems with newer hardware on ubuntu, wireless being one of them - it's never worked just right | 14:50 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Anyone know how to change mousewheel sensitivty in ubuntu? | 14:50 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | tucemiux: yes | 14:53 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tucemiux: theres no mousewheel config there tho | 14:53 |
| freijon | bazhang: ubuntu-restriced-extras was not installed. but now that I installed it it still doesn't work | 14:53 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | to be clear, my mouse works fine normally, i just want to tweak the mousewheel sensitivity | 14:53 |
| kostkon | tucemiux, for a start, try using the tab to select it | 14:53 |
| kostkon | whoops | 14:54 |
| kostkon | i meant, phenrique, for a start, try using the tab to select it | 14:54 |
| tucemiux | WhereIsMySpoon, never tried changing those settings, sounds like a job for the forums, why would you want to scroll faster though? o.O | 14:54 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tucemiux: its a personal setting | 14:54 |
| Adamantus | I can't download ubuntu | 14:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tucemiux: i think its too slow | 14:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tucemiux: therefore i want to change it | 14:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | :S | 14:55 |
| ThothCastel | I got my lamp platform up and running and am trying to login to my phpmyadmin however I have no login details yet... how can I set up a db user ? | 14:55 |
| bazhang | freijon, did you just download the deb from medibuntu, or what | 14:55 |
| Adamantus | The download screen fails. Or the download grinds to a halt. Tried it with a dl manager but it can't understand the link. | 14:55 |
| freijon | no, I installed it using the link I showed you above | 14:55 |
| phenrique | kostkon, i try but the text dont show, i only check but not know the matter | 14:55 |
| til4k | WhereIsMySpoon, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/42867/modifying-mouse-touchpad-sensitivity | 14:55 |
| til4k | theres a link to a program | 14:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: will check it | 14:56 |
| bazhang | freijon, you enabled the medibuntu repos, or what. | 14:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: thats useless | 14:56 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | any other ideas? ^^ | 14:57 |
| phenrique | kostkon, i already try increase the screen but dont can.... | 14:57 |
| til4k | a lot of people say you plug it out and in again | 14:57 |
| til4k | lots of threads with that solution | 14:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: i dont have a MS mouse | 14:57 |
| til4k | o | 14:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | thats only a problem with MS mouses | 14:57 |
| til4k | is it a preference thing or is it unusable | 14:58 |
| kostkon | phenrique, try pressing ALT+F8, it's the shortcut for resizing windows. It might work. | 14:58 |
| freijon | no. first I downloaded and installed libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repository. that didn't work, so I used libdvdread and ran the script, as described in that link. but that just downloads libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, so its basically the same thing | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | preference | 14:58 |
| til4k | like i know firefox has add-ons for scrolling | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | that would only work in ff tho | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | no? | 14:58 |
| til4k | ya | 14:58 |
| marjinal1st | hi, i'm using kubuntu 12.04 amd64. do you think that i should upgrade it to 12.10? you know, lts versions are usually more stable. | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | then that isnt useful | 14:58 |
| til4k | i know | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | 12.04 is LTS | 14:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | 12.10 isnt | 14:58 |
| bekks | marjinal1st: You have to decide which version you want. | 14:58 |
| DarkSim | I was wondering, if it possible to change the GRUB interface on startup to be a lot more graphical? | 14:59 |
| til4k | it might be a bug then | 14:59 |
| kostkon | phenrique, oh you don't any space left, yeah sorry. | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ehsor | 14:59 |
| DarkSim | So it doesn't look like so much DOS | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | *eh sorry marjinal1st i misunderstood what you said | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: =/ | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: i am using a vbox | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | so that could be it | 14:59 |
| marjinal1st | meaning what? | 14:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but still would be nice to have some option for it | 14:59 |

| ubottu | zybe: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | marjinal1st: if you dont particularly need something in 12.10, stick to 12.04 as it's lts | 15:00 |
| tucemiux | marjinal1st, meaning that if 12.04 serves your needs then don't upgrade unless you're curious to see what 12.10 has in newer features | 15:00 |
| phenrique | kostkon, it already is in max height... :/ | 15:00 |
| kostkon | phenrique, is this the window? https://developers.google.com/eclipse/images/newWebAppWizard.png | 15:00 |
| til4k | WhereIsMySpoon, is linux the host OS or is Windows | 15:00 |
| marjinal1st | that was what i think too.thanks anyway for your replies :) | 15:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: windows | 15:01 |
| til4k | WhereIsMySpoon, try #vbox | 15:01 |
| til4k | did you install the guest drivers | 15:01 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | til4k: yes | 15:01 |
| til4k | dunno | 15:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ill try #vbox | 15:02 |
| til4k | WhereIsMySpoon, or just forums in general IRC is the worst lol | 15:02 |
| kostkon | phenrique, you can use the tab key to go through all the items in the window, and blindly maybe enable/disable/set the ones that are not visible | 15:02 |
| freijon | bazhang: could the problem be caused from the blueray drive? I used to have only a DVD drive | 15:03 |
| bazhang | freijon, I'd doubt it | 15:03 |
| kostkon | phenrique, actually, i found a better screenshot: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Abfbz9OKVoM/Tljt-CmQDfI/AAAAAAAACGQ/WBQDzlCM3nk/s1600/New+Web+Application+Project+_003.png | 15:03 |

| DarkSim | If I have a partitioned harddrive where do I know which partition holds the MBR? | 15:06 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | whats usually the default password for ubuntu ? | 15:06 |
| DarkSim | The absolute first partition or the whole harddrive? | 15:06 |
| bekks | DarkSim: The MBR always hold the primary partition table and, if necessary, a link to extended partition tables. | 15:07 |
| DarkSim | because I'm installing BURG and the guide I'm following says I should enter sudo burg-install "(hd0)" , bekks. But he said replace hd0 with the drive with MBR or something like that | 15:08 |
| bekks | DarkSim: I never dealt with BURG, and "something like that" is just too vague. | 15:09 |
| DarkSim | bekks, http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu/ | 15:09 |
| kbentley57 | Hey guys, I just upgraded a desktop from lts to quantal, and I get a black screen with blinking cursor on reboot. I can boot into recover and get to the text login. Any ideas how to reset x? | 15:09 |
| bekks | DarkSim: I am not going to deal with BURG, I am happy with grub2. | 15:09 |
| bekks | kbentley57: First, check the logs whats happening to X, or wether X is causing problems at all. | 15:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | doesnt sound like an X issue | 15:10 |
| Dougie187 | I need some more help with nvidia drivers. if anyone has some time. | 15:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | black screen with blinking cursor sounds like boot issue | 15:10 |

| DarkSim | for Ubuntu I'd say KDE since it's native | 15:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | kbentley57: do you have some free space on your hdd? | 15:11 |
| DarkSim | derp, Unity | 15:11 |

| Dougie187 | I see this after I install the nvidia-current package. "(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your" | 15:11 |
| kbentley57 | Darksim, yes | 15:11 |
| bekks | DarkSim: For Ubuntu, every linux DE is "native". | 15:12 |
| DarkSim | Well if you don't change stuff then it doesn't really have to get unstable | 15:12 |
| Dougie187 | (that's from /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 15:12 |
| Dougie187 | ) | 15:12 |
| bekks | DarkSim: In particular, in Ubuntu Unity is shipped, in kubuntu KDE, etc. | 15:12 |
| bekks | DarkSim: That has nothing to do with "native". | 15:12 |
| DarkSim | Well that's a different story, he said ubuntu | 15:12 |
| DarkSim | ubuntu comes with unity | 15:12 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | xubuntu here :) | 15:17 |
| DarkSim | sda1 apparently isn't a disk | 15:17 |
| DarkSim | ok.... | 15:17 |
| wols_ | DarkSim: it is never installed and it's always at the same place: first sector on disk | 15:17 |
| kostkon | tyrog, about game performance, you can find some benchmarks on phoronix, e.g. http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=18030 | 15:18 |
| DarkSim | I'm just reading the guide, sorry if I say wrong things | 15:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | DarkSim: could be your cd drive | 15:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | DarkSim: depends the order they're plugged in | 15:18 |
| kostkon | tyrog, ubuntu 10.04, i.e gnome2 and 12.04, i.e. unity | 15:18 |
| wols_ | DarkSim: sda1 never can be a disk. it is a partition | 15:18 |
| DarkSim | so how can I find the the true name? | 15:18 |
| tyrog | WhereIsMySpoon: not really a fan of xfce, never liked it, but admit that it is very customizable | 15:18 |
| bekks | DarkSim: A partition never has a name. | 15:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tyrog: its very simple and a lot faster than standard ubuntu | 15:19 |
| bekks | DarkSim: The filesystem in a partition might have a name. | 15:19 |
| DarkSim | that makes this setup pretty impossible to complete if I can't write a name | 15:19 |
| bekks | DarkSim: ... | 15:19 |
| wols_ | DarkSim: what is your actual problem you try to solve and how are you trying to solve it right now? | 15:19 |
| DarkSim | I am going to type the command sudo burg-install "(hd0)" | 15:19 |
| === Martyn is now known as Guest1315 | ||
| DarkSim | but the guide says, replace hd0 with your harddrive which contains mbr | 15:20 |
| wols_ | that will be hd0 aka sda | 15:20 |
| DarkSim | so I should not change the command? | 15:20 |
| ThothCastel | localfirebug | 15:20 |
| DarkSim | since I have only 1 harddrive | 15:20 |
| bekks | hd0 - in burg/grub - means "first harddisk". | 15:21 |

| Razzeeyy1 | Hi all | 15:50 |
| indieross | its a different network manager | 15:50 |
| amews_aj-study | What terminal command should I use for safely formatting an HDD ? | 15:51 |
| Teapot | I did and it's working. It's not a fix; it's a workaround. | 15:51 |
| bekks | amews_aj-study: fdisk and mkfs. | 15:51 |
| amews_aj-study | bekks, a few months ago I used a different command I think. Could you mention other options ? | 15:52 |
| ezoe | weird, After upgrading to 12.10, my USB mouse occasionally stop working. reconnecting fix it. | 15:52 |
| indieross | Teapot, wtf its a fix, wicd is just another network manager. | 15:52 |
| indieross | a better one in my opinion | 15:53 |
| ezoe | I think my USB mouse is not broken. | 15:53 |
| Teapot | In what way does using a different network manager fix the original network manager? | 15:53 |
| freijon | indieross: thats what I did | 15:53 |
| === daemon_ is now known as daemon | ||

| amews_aj-study | bekks, I believe it was shred - is that plausible? | 15:54 |
| Razzeeyy1 | guys I'm just curious about one dumb thing, is it possible to use a non-bash (for example lua scripts or so) scripts as initscripts? | 15:54 |
| Razzeeyy1 | also would that give a performance benefit or not? | 15:55 |
| dustinspringman | has anyone here been able to get Google Earth PRO working in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 15:55 |
| bekks | amews_aj-study: Shred doesnt format. Shred shreds. | 15:55 |
| freijon | indieross: the file browser can read the file list | 15:55 |
| dustinspringman | The download from earth.google.com/pro comes in as a .bin file and I can't figure out how to run it.. | 15:55 |
| amews_aj-study | Guess that was also what I was looking for. It shreds data safely ? So that it cannot be recovered, right ? | 15:56 |
| indieross | freijon, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install handbrake | 15:57 |

| tux9th | How can I change htat? | 15:58 |
| amews_aj-study | nibbler_, what about "dd" ? | 15:59 |
| Razzeeyy1 | tux9th: I think it's something like "message-indicator-applet" | 15:59 |
| Razzeeyy1 | tux9th: at least it was named that way before, dunno how that named in unity | 16:00 |

| DJones | Dulcin: 12.04 is LTS & is probably set to just upgrade to the next LTS version | 16:02 |
| Dulcin | ahh i see | 16:02 |
| DJones | Dulcin: If you go to system settings, sotware sources abd rge Updates tab, there's an option to select any new version, rather than just LTS upgrades | 16:03 |

| amews_aj-study | wastrel, so conclusion? 0-pass enough ? | 16:08 |
| wastrel | unless you get really unlucky :] | 16:09 |
| wastrel | how sensitive is the data | 16:09 |
| wastrel | there's really no one answer | 16:09 |
| amews_aj-study | Not that sensitive really - only "remembered" passwords that I'm a bit worried about - I don't want to go all over the place changing passwords | 16:10 |
| nibbler_ | wastrel: you can never securely delete data from standard harddisks etc, so best is to drop them into some mountain in mordor or such | 16:10 |
| freijon | intellilogic: handbrake doesn't seem to be able to read it either | 16:10 |
| amews_aj-study | nibbler_, Do you have a map to go there ? :D | 16:10 |
| nibbler_ | amews_aj-study: once you get to middleearth its well documented :p | 16:11 |
| amews_aj-study | nibbler_, yea, but how do I get there ? :D | 16:11 |
| amews_aj-study | If the OS was installed on a 2 TB partition and less than 100 GB was used - is it safe to assume that overwriting the first 100 GB of the disk is enough? Or could the data be scattered all over ? | 16:12 |

| nibbler_ | gbear14275: I recommend gopenvpn, sadly not in the repositories. | 16:14 |
| themhz | thank you nibbler_ | 16:14 |
| amews_aj-study | I suppose that "normal people" will not be able to recover data if I simply zero-pass the partition ? | 16:14 |
| kapz | *work with likbreoffice | 16:14 |
| nibbler_ | themhz: reboot or restart your syslog server after deleting... | 16:14 |
| Optichip | kapz: just password protect the file and save as Office? | 16:15 |

| gbear14275 | nibbler, I've run into an issue. Using the network manager plugin, my network is restricted to only the VPN, where previously I could access both my vpn lan and the internet... not sure how to fix this | 16:15 |
| themhz | thank you again nibbler_ | 16:15 |
| kapz | Optichip, it's the other way around... | 16:15 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, what graphic card do you have ? | 16:15 |
| Optichip | amews_aj-study: correct you should be fine | 16:15 |
| themhz | nibbler_, is syslog server also responsible for php logs? | 16:15 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, Radeon hd 6329 | 16:15 |

| wallythemoose | Question installing Ubuntu with SSD and bigger hard drive. Because of space limitations I want to put /home and /usr on a different hard drive. Is there a way to get them both on one partition like they would usually be, or do they each have to have their own partition? | 16:16 |
| amews_aj-study | nibbler_, So if it's all about a few passwords, and this is just a system that is going to be returned to manufactor for refund, I shouldn't bother doing more than a simple zero-pass? | 16:16 |
| nibbler_ | themhz: i'd guss so | 16:16 |
| gbear14275 | I'm guessing I need to learn about setting up routes... but was wondering if there is a setting I'm missing, because previously regular openvpn let me access both | 16:16 |
| nibbler_ | amews_aj-study: yes | 16:16 |
| themhz | nibbler_, ok thanx | 16:16 |

| gbear14275 | nibbler, where would I go to affect those routes? (you replied before I could ask... I think you're a mind reader) | 16:21 |
| nibbler_ | tucemiux: partimage is only taking a single partition at a time, so make sure you backup part table seperately (simple using dd or sfdisk) but i hear partimage is outdated anyway | 16:21 |
| bekks | amews_aj-study: cat is the slowest solution. And sudo doesnt pass that ">" pipe. | 16:21 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, there are 3 driver should i use proprietary ones? | 16:21 |
| amews_aj-study | bekks, I should use dd ? | 16:21 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, i never had ATI cards but you can always try to install "Additional Drivers" in Ubuntu Software Center to see what it suggests | 16:21 |

| nibbler_ | gbear14275: either in the setup of the vpn in your network manager, but i don't know what you can configure there. else just make yourself a bash script thats sets your routes accordingly - if-up scripts might be usable for that, too | 16:22 |

| designbybeck | why do you have to do that alienaut? | 16:32 |
| designbybeck | wouldn't updates do that for you? | 16:32 |
| designbybeck | what are headers anyway? alexfpms ? | 16:32 |
| spartan29 | is anybody here | 16:33 |

| tucemiux | anyone knows how to clone and entire drive with all its partitions? | 16:34 |

| Jisawesome2 | How do I install a network driver from ubuntu server | 16:34 |
| spartan29 | you see I have a kubuntu 12.04.1 installation on my laptop | 16:34 |
| dfrey | Is there a known issue with libc6-dev and libc6-i386? I seem to have broken packages | 16:35 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, there are software packages that do that, like fogserver | 16:35 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, so if you installed driver without headers it might not work, so re-install drivers | 16:35 |
| spartan29 | so I was taking an update...but then my laptop's battery charge got over and the system got restarted | 16:35 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, ok! | 16:35 |
| spartan29 | so after that my update manager can't take any update...says the libc6 package is broken | 16:36 |
| alonglost | hi. I'm on my HP touchpad right now running ubuntu chroot | 16:36 |
| alienaut | i think i need to restart my computer | 16:36 |
| spartan29 | I have done extensive search on this matter...but all of the efforts have failed.. | 16:36 |
| tucemiux | gordonjcp, is there another utility that will allow me clone the drive like ghost? I don't want to make an exactly of one drive to another - i want to create a back of an entire drive. | 16:37 |
| Optichip | spartan29, were you in the middle of an upgrade? | 16:37 |
| tacomaster | im having a issue with it seems to be wpa2 on ubuntu 12.04, i can connect fine but after i connect and start using the connection it just stop working. the connection stops from my laptop to the router. i posted my dmesg on the pate.ubuntu at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1292688/ im just trying to see if there is anyway to get this to stop | 16:37 |
| alonglost | having trouble with root permissions. I'm trying to get it prepped and ready for the upcoming Cryptoparty. Could anyone help | 16:38 |
| tucemiux | Optichip, yes but i'm only going to do this once - i just want to clone a drive for backup purposes | 16:38 |
| freijon | bazhang & intellilogic, I got the issue solved. somehow my DVD region was wrong. sudo apt-get install regionset --> set it to 1 and back to 2 did the job (you can set regions only about 5 times) | 16:38 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, ahh well clonezilla will work as well. | 16:38 |
| Optichip | spartan29, sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade | 16:38 |
| cebor | is there a way to hide "more sugestions" ?? quantal | 16:39 |
| spartan29 | yes optichip... | 16:39 |
| spartan29 | i was in a middle of a update...not upgrade | 16:39 |
| Jisawesome2 | Same thing | 16:39 |
| Optichip | spartan29, sudo apt-get -f update | 16:39 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, i did it. now how to understand if it properly installed? | 16:40 |
| spartan29 | says could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open | 16:40 |
| spartan29 | though i don't have any update/package manager open. | 16:40 |
| spartan29 | strange | 16:40 |
| akls | how can I write to the file a list of packages that could be upgraded? | 16:40 |
| tucemiux | Optichip, but what youre describing sounds like a full blown distribution solution, I just want to clone drive a to USB drive, partimage does the trick but only for one partition - not the entire drive. | 16:41 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, i never had ATI card but i think you should have some ati graphic card control panel | 16:41 |
| alienaut | in settings? | 16:42 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, well the clonezilla is a mini distro, boot from USB to clone a drive. | 16:42 |
| phr3d13 | spartan29, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986288 | 16:42 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, with nvidia we have nvidia-settings | 16:42 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, this will ultimately be what you want, you never want to be on the drive you're clonign. | 16:42 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, s/clonign/cloning | 16:42 |
| alienaut | oh! | 16:42 |
| designbybeck | well i restarted and still don't see my ATI drivers in addiontal drivers :( | 16:43 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, thanks i saw it, and my performance better i think | 16:43 |
| === gvim is now known as Guest23571 | ||
| alexfpms | alienaut, when your card is working properly all graphics managed by your card so your CPU is not busy when you move windows for example | 16:45 |
| Optichip | akls you can do a sudo apt-get -s install package >> package.txt | 16:45 |
| alienaut | designbybeck, you can also install it from ATI site | 16:46 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, and offcourse unity panels must be transparent | 16:46 |
| alienaut | alexfpms, yes it is now :) | 16:46 |
| Jisawesome2 | Does anyone know how to install something with ubuntu server | 16:47 |
| Griffin40 | Hello | 16:47 |
| sfan5 | Jisawesome2: do you mean packages? | 16:47 |
| Optichip | Jisawesome2, what do you mean? | 16:47 |
| User123 | So, no more help for me? | 16:48 |
| alexfpms | designbybeck, what is your card ? | 16:48 |
| phr3d13 | tucemiux, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ | 16:48 |
| tucemiux | Optichip, yes - im downloading the drive and going to install the ISO to my usb thumb drive | 16:48 |
| alienaut | i am ready happy with it :) i think i am ready back to work. thanks alexfpms :) | 16:48 |
| Jisawesome2 | optichip, I need to install a network driver from a jump drive or cd | 16:48 |
| alexfpms | alienaut, you're welcom | 16:48 |
| Griffin40 | Excuse me I have a question, I recently installed some updates through the update manager on 12.04 but now my pc boots into tty1 instead of a gui. What should I do? | 16:49 |
| Jisawesome2 | sfan, I mean network drivers | 16:49 |
| Optichip | Jisawesome2, in order to make your network card work on your Ubuntu server? | 16:49 |
| til4k | Griffin40, did you enable a ppa | 16:49 |
| daniel__ | ok so I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, and my Intel ALC260 Analog onboard jacks aren't being read by Ubuntu sound, but Terminal can read it is there | 16:49 |
| Griffin40 | til4k what is that? | 16:49 |
| Jisawesome2 | optichip yes | 16:49 |
| akls | Optichip, yep. is there any way to get more clear output? | 16:49 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, were you using proprietary video drivers? | 16:49 |
| nathaneltitane | hello everyone! | 16:49 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, I was using a driver I downloaded from AMD | 16:50 |
| tucemiux | phr3d13, i might be mistaken but that guide takes hard drives A --> and "copies" its structures to hard drive B, that's not what I want - I want to back up the contents on hard drive A on another drive for later retrieval | 16:50 |
| Jimster480-L | Griffin40: did your machine remove any packagess? | 16:50 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, you'll need to rerun your amd configuration then | 16:50 |
| User123 | ok, then another question : is it possible that compiled program will be 64bit and wont work on my 32bit OS? | 16:50 |
| ajacom | I'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 8. it installs fine but then grub doesn't show up... i've tried several times... any tips ? thanks :) | 16:50 |
| Optichip | akls, you'd have to use sed to clean it up with what you want. | 16:51 |
| nathaneltitane | i just popped the 12.10 gnome remix edit on live usb and I must admit i am so tempted to come back to ubuntu :) - one thing though, I am experiencing weirdness with wine1.4: it refuses to install claiming failed deps and broken packages... anyone have the same experience on default ubuntu? | 16:51 |
| Jisawesome2 | ajacom, on a vitrual machine? | 16:51 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, How could I do that from tty1 | 16:51 |
| Jimster480-L | Griffin40: oh you musth ave ended up with a incompatible fglrx, they recently removed support for some cards in the new fglrx and you have to get the legacy driver or your machine wont boot. its stupid. | 16:51 |
| genera | User123 hm | 16:51 |
| ajacom | Jisawesome2: no on the free hdd space | 16:51 |
| Jisawesome2 | Im not sure taht is possible... | 16:51 |
| Jimster480-L | ajacom: what is your default Bootmanager? | 16:51 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| ajacom | Jimster480-L: no idea. the one that came with Win8 | 16:51 |
| wallythemoose | ajacom: make sure when you run ubuntu installer, select the hard drive like sda, not sda2 partition | 16:51 |
| wallythemoose | to install grub | 16:51 |
| tucemiux | ajacom, where did you install grub? | 16:51 |
| ajacom | wallythemoose: I'm using "install Ubuntu alongside windows 8" | 16:52 |
| ajacom | tucemiux: ^ | 16:52 |
| OerHeks | User123, ofcourse 64 bit apps do not work on 32 bit. ubuntu 64 bit is multi arch, so you can run 32 bit apps on that | 16:52 |
| Jimster480-L | ajacom: I dont know if Grub will boot windows 8 so you might have a conflict there, I would Google if I were you to se if its possible at this point in time. | 16:52 |
| Jisawesome2 | oprtichip, do I just use apt-gert | 16:52 |
| Jimster480-L | ajacom: if you install grub on the MBR then you shouldnt have an issue as far as it showing up, but if your windows 8 will work, well thats a whole other question/problem. | 16:52 |
| ajacom | Jimster480-L: I've heard people that lose GRUB after installing windows 8. Same case backwards. People suggest reinstalling grub from the console. | 16:52 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, just login as yourself, find the driver file you downloaded from AMD and rerun it | 16:52 |
| phr3d13 | tucemiux, you want to make an exact copy of drive a on drive usb right? | 16:53 |
| Optichip | Jisawesome2, is the server a phyical machine or is this in a VM on your machine? | 16:53 |
| nathaneltitane | i just popped the 12.10 gnome remix edit on live usb and I must admit i am so tempted to come back to ubuntu :) - one thing though, I am experiencing weirdness with wine1.4: it refuses to install claiming failed deps and broken packages... anyone have the same experience on default ubuntu? | 16:53 |
| Jisawesome2 | physical machien | 16:53 |
| ajacom | Jimster480-L: I'm using 'install alongside windows 8'. i'm not really seeing all the sda, sda2 partitioning bits | 16:53 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, The problem is I can not get into a gui I can only boot into tty1 | 16:53 |
| ajacom | Jimster480-L: it should work fine though, right ? | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | tucemiux: oooh | 16:53 |
| tucemiux | phr3d13, for backup purposes, yes - sort of like ghost | 16:53 |
| wallythemoose | Just installed ubuntu, now it boots to being stuck at "verifying DMI pool data"... :'( | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | tucemiux: I don't know what ghost is | 16:53 |
| phr3d13 | then dd is exactly what you want | 16:53 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, you don't need to get to the GUI to cd to the Downloads directory and run the file ./AMDblahblah.bin | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | tucemiux: you could use rsync to copy the files across from one to the other | 16:54 |
| opcode0 | I got a random bug in 12.04 where mplayer's display got all scrambled. and now I got this: Maximum number of clients reachedMaximum number of clients reachedxterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0. Can I fix this without restarting X? | 16:54 |
| tucemiux | ajacom, i would go to the grub channel and ask there, windows8 is fairly new - dont even know if it's supported yet but someone in the grub channel would know | 16:54 |
| User123 | OerHeks, ok. I just thought that you can choose to compile program to be 32bit or 64 bit :) noob here. Thank you. | 16:54 |
| alexfpms | Griffin40, what happens when you start X ? | 16:54 |
| phr3d13 | tucemiux, dd will make an exact copy of a drive (partitioning scheme and all) on another drive | 16:54 |
| tucemiux | gordonjcp, i dont want use the files - i want the entire hard drive but let me explain myself a bit more | 16:54 |
| ajacom | tucemiux: thanks | 16:55 |
| Armageddon | Optichip, how do I change my background ? | 16:55 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, I do not know the file name | 16:55 |
| User123 | Bye. | 16:56 |
| akls | Optichip, apt-show-versions -u -b | 16:56 |
| tucemiux | Halp! My ultrabook has windows 7 and the manufacturer preloaded it with 4 primary partitions! I want to back up the entire drive to a USB external hard drive just for backup purposes and then play with win7, I don't have a CD restore media | 16:56 |
| Optichip | Armageddon, !!!! | 16:57 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, if you downloaded it, then it should be in your Downloads folder, will start with amd or AMD. | 16:57 |
| nibbler_ | tucemiux: easy, just copy the full disks, if you don't mind the excessive waste of space, should be quiet well compressable, null out empty space before if you want. | 16:57 |
| Griffin40 | alexfpms, It comes up with a lot of text and says Ok next to most of them but then just freezes | 16:57 |
| wallythemoose | nevermind, somehow the boot order in the bios changed without me telling it to. what's the grub utility to re-install grub? It didn't detect my windows 7 install | 16:57 |
| dfrey | why is it that when I do lsb_release -a, it says I am using 12.04, but when I open update-manager, it says that no updates are avaialble? | 16:57 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, I think it is something really long and funny | 16:58 |
| cellofellow | I just installed Quantal 64bit and It's looking pretty good. I have two funny problems: one GRUB (I think) when it starts shows an error "sparse file not allowed" or something, I hit Enter it it continues to boot perfectly fine. Also when I booted it just now lightdm did not start, I had to start it manually from the console. | 16:58 |
| Armageddon | Griffin40, did you download it with firefox ? | 16:58 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, you can type the first few letters of the filename then hit [TAB] key to complete. | 16:58 |
| Griffin40 | Optichip, I don't think it is the graphics card though because all the graphics are working fine it is just booting up normally then going into tty1 | 16:58 |
| Griffin40 | Armageddon, IOk | 16:59 |
| Armageddon | Griffin40, if you did the name should be in the Download window in Firefox | 16:59 |
| Optichip | Griffin40, then you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there's any error message | 16:59 |
| alexfpms | dfrey, what do you want ? | 16:59 |
| Jimster480-L | Griffin40: what desktop are you running on here? | 16:59 |
| dfrey | alexfpms: I'm wondering why it isn't suggesting for me to update to 12.10 | 16:59 |
| Optichip | less /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the command line. | 16:59 |
| Jimster480-L | and you can do update-grub | 17:00 |
| Jimster480-L | to make it rescan | 17:00 |
| Armageddon | Griffin40, if it's dropping down to tty then your Display Manager isn't getting called on boot to run | 17:00 |
| Draton | dfrey: are you on 12.04? | 17:00 |
| alexfpms | dfrey, change settings | 17:00 |
| alexfpms | dfrey, you want upgrade ? | 17:00 |
| Armageddon | Griffin40, try to run it manually | 17:00 |
| Griffin40 | Armageddon, run what manually? | 17:00 |
| Jimster480-L | what is the service for the unity desktop? | 17:01 |
| dfrey | Draton, alexfpms: Yes, I am on 12.04 and want to upgrade. Which settings do I need to change? | 17:01 |
| Armageddon | Griffin40, Display Manager | 17:01 |
| Jimster480-L | used to be you type gdm to get your desktop | 17:01 |
| alexfpms | dfrey, update-manager -d | 17:01 |
| wilee-nilee | dfrey, ubuntu software center edit software sources updates all updates | 17:01 |
| Griffin40 | Armageddon, How would I do that | 17:01 |
| alexfpms | dfrey, sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:01 |
| ajacom | Nothing yet. I'm using a 1TB HDD with 1NTFS - 2FAT32 - FREE SPACE FOR LINUX. I've heard a disk can have only a limited amount of partitions, could that be the case ? | 17:02 |

| mysticalzero | ajacom: yes.. if you are using a partition scheme called mbr, you are only limited to create 4 primary partitions. | 17:03 |
| Jimster480-L | ajacom: you can only have 4 logical partitions total. So if you have any recovery or anything like that then that is why it wont install. Also at the moment the way you have it there is no space for a swap partition at all. | 17:04 |

| aminosamigos | i am trying to install 12.10 from a usb stick | 17:19 |
| aminosamigos | i got an error | 17:19 |
| mordonez | how can I solve it wols_ | 17:20 |
| wols_ | mordonez: you got it from PPA or some other place. and things like this happen when you use PPAs | 17:20 |
| mordonez | please give me a hand | 17:20 |
| arunkumar413 | dash is not revealing when i move the mouse to the left side of the screen | 17:20 |
| wols_ | mordonez: you uninstall the crap | 17:20 |
| alexfpms | wilee-nilee, is it a question ? | 17:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: what happens when you move it to the upper left corner? | 17:21 |
| wilee-nilee | alexfpms, The statement is a bit strange is all that install alongside does not work that makes no sense it does work, a boot partition is rarely needed as well. | 17:21 |
| mordonez | Is there a way what program uses it? | 17:21 |
| faLUCE | hi, is there a good media center that DOESN'T USE GPU? | 17:21 |
| Jimster480-L | did that Winodws 8 guy get his stuff fixed? | 17:21 |
| Jimster480-L | why faLUCE are you on intel? lol | 17:21 |
| Jimster480-L | you can always disable GPU accel | 17:22 |
| wols_ | mordonez: you will see when you try to uninstall it | 17:22 |
| Jimster480-L | for those of you using Intel | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | alexfpms, I think I have missed part of his problem though so I tried asking what was up. | 17:22 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, nothing happens | 17:22 |
| alexfpms | wilee-nilee, problem comes with UEFI enabled OS like windows 8, grub might not work in that case | 17:22 |
| ajacom | Jimster480-L: I didn't :D | 17:22 |
| faLUCE | Jimster480-L: exactly :-) | 17:22 |
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: And when you hit the Super key? | 17:23 |
| Jimster480-L | well disable the GPU accel in the media player like you can with VLC | 17:23 |
| mordonez | where? I don't know what uninstall | 17:23 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, when i press the super key, it opens the dash | 17:23 |
| faLUCE | Jimster480-L: it's not enough for xbmc | 17:23 |
| faLUCE | since the gui still uses gpu | 17:23 |
| wilee-nilee | alexfpms, I see I believe you need to have a UEFI setup on the computer but grub does work in a UEFI just needs some different work. | 17:23 |
| ajacom | alexfpms: so should i remove the partitions the installer did, and reinstall, but this time, create a boot partition manually ?? | 17:23 |
| === paul__ is now known as dingdong | ||
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: If the panel is revealed when you open the Dash, you may just want to disable auto-hide. | 17:24 |
| Jimster480-L | lol how can ur gui lag | 17:24 |
| opcode0 | I got a problem in 12.04 since yesterday, when I want to install new packages/updates, it warns that this action would require installing packages from unauthenticated repositories. Anyone elese got that? | 17:24 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, i want to auto-hide.My problem is when i move the mouse it doesn't reveal | 17:24 |
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: Alternatively, you could adjust the sensitivity of the revel under System Settings > Appearance. | 17:25 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, i have never tested grub with windows 8, but in that case is preferable to have a boot partition. so yes you can try | 17:25 |
| DaemonicApathy | s/revel/reveal | 17:25 |
| ajacom | alexfpms: should the boot partition be in the free hdd space? (after sda3 in this case) | 17:25 |
| arunkumar413 | daemon, i tried adjusting, but nothing happens | 17:25 |
| ajacom | or that doens't matter? | 17:25 |
| t4b | hey, how would I temporarily disable an user account? | 17:25 |
| fazzaan | opcode0: have you changed the repositories? I had mine set to download from the UK servers, and I got the unauthenticated issue today as well. Maybe there's something up with them at the moment? | 17:26 |
| opcode0 | I didnt change any | 17:26 |
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: Are you using NVidia drivers? | 17:27 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, yes | 17:27 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, the boot partition should be primary but you already have 3 primaries | 17:27 |

| wilee-nilee | ajacom, You have to have everything inside that sda4 a extended, you could set all this up with gparted then use a manual something else install. | 17:28 |
| Optichip | tucemiux, *cheer* | 17:28 |
| DaemonicApathy | arunkumar413: I won't be much help with that, but it does look like they're working on your problem. | 17:29 |
| opcode0 | other thing, 12.04 doesn't say anything about 12.10 being available :/ | 17:29 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, i'm wrong boot might be logical too | 17:29 |
| wols_ | mordonez: simply answer you can't without temporarily breaking your package system | 17:29 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, working on which one: dash or adobe flash | 17:29 |
| fazzaan | opcode0: I'm not sure then, sorry =/ I guess just retry it. As long as you haven't added any other sources manually, you should be fine doing updates as they come straight from Canonical's servers | 17:30 |
| wilee-nilee | alexfpms, Sorry I missed your post I wont interfere. ;) | 17:30 |
| mordonez | is there any page where I can see how can I do what you suggest or can you give me simple instructions so I can follow them on internet? | 17:30 |

| HelloWorld321 | How obvious is that. Thanks.\ | 17:31 |
| ajacom | wilee-nilee, alexfpms: So. 1) I remove everything and get the free space back. 2) Load installer 3) "Something else" 4) Create extended partition 5) Create /boot, primary, inside, 250mb 6) Create swap, 2gb, 7) Create ex2 for linux. 8) Install | 17:31 |

| gigia | Hi ! How can I install GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 17:32 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, there is no 4 | 17:32 |
| wilee-nilee | gigia, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 17:32 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, you choose create /boot, type logical that's all | 17:32 |
| ajacom | alexfpms: ok | 17:33 |
| ajacom | thanks =) | 17:33 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, it will create extended if needed | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | gigia, You actually have gnome 3 already but thta will install the shell to use it. | 17:33 |
| arunkumar413 | DaemonicApathy, no backup, it takes times, can i downgrade without installing. since i upgraded yesterday, can i restore my system so that i get 12.04 | 17:33 |
| gigia | Thanks, how can I remove Unity ? | 17:33 |
| wilee-nilee | !nounity | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:33 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, ex2 ? you mean ext2 ? | 17:34 |
| ajacom | ae | 17:34 |
| MonkeyDust | gigia no need to remove, install something different and use that | 17:34 |
| ajacom | alexfpms: yes, or ext4 | 17:34 |
| wilee-nilee | gigia, unity is a plugin in compiz which is the window manager runiing on top of gnome 3 I would leave unity alone myself. | 17:34 |
| ajacom | i mean the "linux one" | 17:34 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, why not ext4 | 17:34 |
| ajacom | alexfpms: yes, yes. i'm just confused on the names. i'll use ext4 | 17:34 |
| gigia | Thanks ! | 17:35 |

| ajacom | the usb stick died. | 17:38 |
| ajacom | it's the second USB stick that is killed trying to install ubuntu =( | 17:38 |
| ajacom | i don't know why. maybe it's that "persistence" stuff. | 17:39 |
| kpullen | ajacom: The USB stick doesn't function at all anymore? | 17:39 |
| borax12 | first of all ,are the ati cards giving a problem in 12.10 ? | 17:39 |
| ajacom | kpullen: no. it's the second one | 17:39 |
| ajacom | kpullen: it shows up in My Computer, though | 17:39 |
| ajacom | and on disk administrator as well | 17:39 |
| alexfpms | ajacom, it's that "persistence" stuff? what do you mean ? | 17:39 |
| kpullen | ajacom: Oh good, so theoretically it still functions | 17:39 |
| ajacom | yea | 17:40 |
| ajacom | i just can't format it | 17:40 |
| loki_ | irc.rizon.net | 17:41 |

| kpullen | ajacom: Any chance you live in Portland, Oregon? There's an Ubuntu 12.10 release party, and if you come to that we might be able to get your USB stick working again. | 17:42 |
| ajacom | kpullen: i'd love to, but i'm at the other side of the world right now | 17:43 |

| ajacom | :) | 17:44 |
| ajacom | what if i just use Wubi... ? | 17:44 |
| kpullen | ajacom: That makes it difficult. Wubi is a good option. I think it will allow you to install right from Windows, so you won't even need to use your thumb drive. I've never used it though. | 17:44 |
| arunkumar413 | the adobe flash player plugin is freezing in chromium. the plugin want to access my cam and mic but i'm not able to allow. it's not responding | 17:44 |

| melow01 | Ok but I didn't forget my password | 18:22 |

| tech2 | Yizak: this is a good thing, means it's one less thing to worry about :) | 18:24 |
| melow01 | Yes, I moved my home partition | 18:24 |
| bulletrulz | y | 18:24 |
| alexfpms | melow01, so where do you want to login ? | 18:25 |
| Xtremeasure | arunkumaru you have to disable the composite manager and the window decorator through compiz fusion icon to use the settings without going full screen | 18:25 |
| arunkumar413 | Xtremeasure, it sucks bcoz the flash player plugin freezes and it doesn't reveal the dash when i move the mouse to the edge of the screen | 18:25 |
| Yizak | tech2 oh I see, but what could it be then? :S | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, I suspect that would go over better in #ubuntu-offtopic this is support | 18:25 |
| alexfpms | melow01, did you modified your fstab ? | 18:25 |
| Jisawesome2 | xtrememeasure, I am in the GRUB | 18:25 |

| crazydip | is it possible to do a do-release-upgrade equivalent of apt-get --download-only so only deb files are downloaded but system is not upgraded? | 18:28 |
| alexfpms | melow01, your home partition is probably not mounted anymore, it is normal fail to login | 18:28 |
| Xtremeasure | give me a min jisawesome2 im doing some reading it seems that im telling you the incorrect way to add the boot tag | 18:28 |

| crazydip | alexfpms: i want to make the actual upgrade go as quickly as possible | 18:30 |
| crazydip | alexfpms: plenty of reasons why people would want to do it this way.... that's why apt-get has the -d option | 18:31 |
| alexfpms | crazydip, for that reason you can download an ISO | 18:31 |
| cowsquad | is anybody experiencing issues with the power button on their laptop not going into suspend mode? | 18:32 |
| cowsquad | because I am | 18:32 |
| alexfpms | crazydip, do-release-upgrade do a lot of things | 18:32 |
| wilee-nilee | cowsquad, That can be a per computer model issue. | 18:32 |
| alexfpms | crazydip, not just downloading .deb | 18:32 |
| cowsquad | i am on a toshiba a305-6278 | 18:32 |
| melow01 | I had to move machines...irc client wasn't working | 18:33 |
| melow01 | I followed all the instructions on this page: | 18:34 |
| crazydip | alexfpms: yeah, i know - i think i'll just extract the deb files from iso image and place them in apt/archives - that should minimize the amount of packages do-release-upgrade downloads -- hopefully it does not ignore or clean the archives dir | 18:34 |

| fred_F | I cant install Programs I downloaded | 18:48 |
| stodge | Seems ubuntu isnt offering me any additional drivers, it doesn't think I have an nvidia card, which i do - 1000m | 18:48 |
| theadmin | fred_F: You're doing something wrong. | 18:48 |
| alexfpms | cowsquad, depends on your ISP, but you probably use a dynamic ip | 18:48 |
| theadmin | stodge: The Linux drivers for nvidia don't support all nvidia cards, unfortunately. | 18:48 |
| fred_F | yes, maybe | 18:48 |
| fred_F | but what?? | 18:48 |
| theadmin | fred_F: What do you want to install? Mostly, you install programs from the Ubuntu Software Center or using apt-get on the terminal. | 18:49 |

| theadmin | sfan5: Looks fine to me, dunno | 18:50 |
| fred_F | I had to unpack | 18:50 |
| stodge | theadmin: ok - I see there is a txt.gz file of supported cards, but how do I view this? | 18:50 |
| alexfpms | cowsquad, the problem, if you ip is dynamic it changes over time. How could you know it from school ? | 18:50 |

| antivirtel | hi, is there any solution to burn an universal boot cd, then eg. select the ISO from somewhere, then try/install that ubuntu, not to write out CD for every release (for the non USB boot supported MB-s) | 18:52 |
| OerHeks | fred_F, there is a readme.txt in that archiv | 18:52 |
| antivirtel | ? | 18:52 |
| fred_F | No not any | 18:52 |

| cowsquad | so when I connect from my windows laptop I used that number and it worked just fine | 18:53 |
| alexfpms | cowsquad, are you sure your ISP alows to connect to 4344 from outside ? | 18:53 |
| sfan5 | Adamantus: "do-release-upgrade" in console OR use update manager gui | 18:53 |

| sfan5 | alexfpms: the most isp's don't block any ports, you just need to port-forward | 18:54 |

| sfan5 | mine blocks nothing :) | 18:54 |
| Adamantus | ok | 18:54 |
| trism | Adamantus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS | 18:54 |

| Necro | Hi guys, the bar that runs along the top and side of ubuntu 12.04 is missing for me. How can I get it back? (this problem is persistent through restarting, logging back in, etc) | 18:56 |
| tech2 | antivirtel: is burning a new cd really that much of an issue? | 18:56 |
| fred_F | The only clue is: Run ./secondlife from the installation directory to start Second Life. | 18:56 |
| Necro | The top and side of the desktop* | 18:57 |
| fred_F | So it should work | 18:57 |
| antivirtel | tech2 it is unnecesarry & not very environment friendly | 18:57 |
| tech2 | antivirtel: use a CDRW instead of a CDR? | 18:57 |
| sfan5 | fred_F: you could write a script: "cd $secondlife_install_dir && ./secondlife" | 18:57 |
| antivirtel | tech2 there is some disadvantage of RW tech, the speed, etc... If I can, I want to use the USB solution, but if I can't I have to do something... | 18:58 |
| fred_F | The readme says also: The Second Life Linux client can entirely run from the directory you have | 18:58 |
| fred_F | unpacked it into - no installation step is required. | 18:58 |
| bulletrulz | im keep getting crash report detected and it wont STOP! | 18:59 |
| Walex | Necro: that's used to be the "panel" in old versions of GNOME, just add a new one. | 18:59 |
| overclucker | antivirtel: you can debootstrap a new version from an older livecd. it won't be nearly as fast as the live installer though. | 18:59 |
| tech2 | antivirtel: right, if you're using a machine incapable of booting from USB, you use the CDRW, if you can use USB, use that, problem solved. | 18:59 |
| tech2 | antivirtel: if a machine is incapable of booting from USB, chances are the speed issue of CDRW isn't going to be too much of an issue is it? | 19:00 |
| antivirtel | overclucker can you explain that debootstrap? | 19:00 |
| guest-cvyd5q | hola | 19:00 |
| xflr6 | halo | 19:00 |
| guest-cvyd5q | nhhgghhgh | 19:00 |
| antivirtel | tech2 you may right, otherwise the problem is, that I have no (working) RW at home... I have to buy one :) | 19:01 |
| guest-cvyd5q | perdó | 19:01 |
| Necro | Walex: how do I add a new one? | 19:01 |
| guest-cvyd5q | hola | 19:01 |
| Ampersand | I have just upgraded from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client. The problem is that when I receive a new message, the icon doesn't turn blue anymore. A notification is however displayed, but I might miss it. I was wondering if there's anything that could be done about this? (in 12.04 I didn't have this problem, it worked well) | 19:01 |
| WeThePeople | why is it on my iso (cd) of backtrack the internet is much faster than on my ubuntu hdd ?? | 19:01 |
| overclucker | !debootstrap | 19:01 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 19:01 |
| Walex | Necro: can't remember, probably right click on the desktop | 19:01 |
| Adamantus | trism, It's detecting the upgrade now,thanks. | 19:01 |
| fred_F | it gives an error: libGL error: failed to load driver: i915 | 19:02 |
| fred_F | libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details. | 19:02 |
| fred_F | libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast | 19:02 |
| fred_F | libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details. | 19:02 |
| fred_F | The program 'do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin' received an X Window System error. | 19:02 |
| FloodBot1 | fred_F: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:02 |
| fred_F | This probably reflects a bug in the program. | 19:02 |

| matt____ | hello, which of nvidia driver shoud I choose in additional drivers? | 19:05 |
| matt____ | i have got 3, and two of them are nearly the same | 19:05 |
| alexfpms | matt____, you can choose updates | 19:05 |
| alexfpms | matt____, they are more recent | 19:06 |
| matt____ | You mean nvidia-current-updates? | 19:06 |
| themhz | sudo chmod -R 644 var/www/*.php to give recursively permissions only to php files? | 19:06 |
| alexfpms | matt____, yes | 19:06 |
| matt____ | thank you | 19:06 |
| matt____ | and how can I change nickname in this ? | 19:07 |
| sfan5 | matt____: do you mean irc? | 19:07 |
| matt____ | yeah | 19:07 |
| ardchoille | themhz: you don't need the -R if you ar eonly working with files in the same dir | 19:07 |
| sfan5 | /nick the_name_you_want | 19:07 |
| tech2 | themhz: no probably something more like find var/www -name '*.php' | sudo xargs chmod 644 | 19:07 |
| matt____ | don't work Sfan5 | 19:08 |
| matt____ | doesn't* | 19:08 |
| themhz | oh thank you guys ardchoille and tech2 | 19:08 |
| ardchoille | themhz: also, you need to be careful when chmod'ing recursively because removing the execute bit from directories will lock users out | 19:09 |
| tech2 | themhz: if there's a chance you have a directory named <something>.php then you'll probably also need to add -type f to the find command | 19:09 |
| themhz | aha | 19:09 |
| ardchoille | tech2: good advice | 19:10 |
| Myrtti | fred_F: FloodBots are bots, programmes that protect the channel | 19:10 |
| tech2 | themhz: best generally to run the find by itself to see what it will affect | 19:10 |
| themhz | tech2, sorry directory with name <something>.php? | 19:11 |
| themhz | or file | 19:12 |
| Myrtti | fred_F: they can't answer or help you. Please post the information into a pastebin and post your question in the channel. | 19:12 |
| ardchoille | themhz: something like /var/www/mydir.php/anotherdir | 19:12 |
| ardchoille | themhz: a dir with a dot in the name | 19:12 |
| fred_F | oh ok | 19:12 |
| tech2 | themhz: the find command I gave you will list all directory entries (including directories) with a name like *.php, so if you have a directory that matches that pattern, it will also list that directory. | 19:12 |
| themhz | a ok | 19:12 |
| themhz | ic | 19:12 |
| themhz | I was not familiar with these types of folders. Thanx | 19:13 |
| pythonirc101 | is there a tool in linux to watch what processes/threads a process creates? what files it touches ? etc? | 19:14 |
| fred_F | what is a pastbin? | 19:14 |
| ardchoille | themhz: as tech2 mentioned, you should run the find command by itself first to see what it will affect, you can tweak the find command by adding "-type -f" for a file or "-type -d" for a directory | 19:14 |
| yeats | !paste | GNUbuntu | 19:14 |
| alexfpms | themhz, lol there is no different folder types | 19:14 |
| ardchoille | sorry, typo, that's -type f or -type d | 19:14 |

| Guest47723 | hi, does someone here have knowledge about fakeRAID on Ubuntu ? The array in BIOS is the right size but dmraid give me array of half the size. | 19:42 |

| xanScale | alexfpms i need to add a item to grub in my hdd to start image in usb stick | 19:43 |
| Thales0796 | when i boot my comuter, ubuntu is very slow for start, and in verbose mode i see 'HDIO_GEt_IDENTITY failed for 'etc/sdc'. what is it ? | 19:43 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, i don't think you need it | 19:43 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, why ? | 19:43 |
| xanScale | my bad motherboard doesent boot from usb | 19:44 |
| matt____ | alex, i cannot execute and enter anything into terminal | 19:44 |
| matt____ | it freezes | 19:44 |
| xanScale | so to install ubuntu 12.10 i cant use pen drive | 19:44 |
| matt____ | maybe i reinstall system | 19:44 |
| alexfpms | matt____, clearly a bug | 19:44 |
| alexfpms | matt____, remove nvidia drivers | 19:44 |
| xanScale | can you help me? | 19:44 |
| matt____ | but tell me, how should i install drivers to nvdidia to avoid this? | 19:45 |
| wallythemoose | When installing ubuntu to SSD and HDD, is it advisible to put /usr on the HDD for space usage, or is just putting /home on HDD sufficient? | 19:45 |
| alexfpms | matt____, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | 19:45 |
| matt____ | do You recommend to download form nvidia www? | 19:45 |

| alexfpms | matt____, no, it is not a good idea | 19:45 |
| Ampersand | hi | 19:46 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, insert your usb pen, then try sudo update-grub | 19:47 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, but i'm not sure it will detect it on usb pen | 19:47 |
| xanScale | try | 19:47 |
| xanScale | i found a guide that tell to add "if [ "${LROOT}" = "/dev/sdb1" ]; then continuefi" in grub file | 19:48 |
| matt____ | i have to say that, this didn't work | 19:49 |
| jforman | hi all. i'm trying to install 12.10 on my dual monitor nvidia powered system. after i enable the nvidia drivers and reboot, i'm greeted with only one monitor that works, and after logging in, i get a blank screen. no dock, nothing. any ideas? | 19:49 |

| alexfpms | matt____, lspci -nn | grep VGA | 19:50 |

| javierf_ | trism, a bit more of help, please. I need to generate two files, one that looks like the first paste bin and one (test-app.desktop) like the second in one of those folders. But, where to place and how to name the first one? | 19:51 |
| k1l_ | am i right, that 12.10 dropped the non-pae cpu support in the kernel? | 19:52 |
| alexfpms | matt____, lspci -nn | grep VGA - gives your card model | 19:52 |
| alexfpms | k1l_, yes | 19:52 |
| matt____ | one is form CPU - intel, and second GeFroce GT520M | 19:53 |
| matt____ | and they're compatible | 19:53 |
| trism | javierf_: you can put the first one anywhere, doesn't really matter, I called mine messaging-app.py, and you can just run it with: python messaging-app.py; (you also need gir1.2-messagingmenu-1.0 installed) | 19:53 |
| k1l_ | alexfpms: is there a solution like a PPA? some users want to install the lubuntu onto that old devices without a pae-cpu | 19:53 |
| trism | javierf_: if I didn't call m_menu.unregister() at the end though, if you change the Exec= path in the .desktop file to point to the python script, you could click the app name in the indicator and it would launch | 19:54 |
| k1l_ | matt____: you will need a bumblebee driver to work with the hybrid intel-nvidia cards | 19:54 |
| alexfpms | matt____, anyway if kde interface crashes even without driver, the driver installation wont help | 19:54 |
| xanScale | alexfpms http://pastebin.com/hWZV2cFv doesent works? right? | 19:54 |
| k1l_ | matt____: you need to read yourself into that topic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 19:55 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, i think no | 19:56 |
| xanScale | ARG | 19:57 |
| alexfpms | k1l_, GT520M is Optimus card ? | 19:57 |
| alexfpms | xanScale, i don't know how to insert it manually | 19:57 |
| k1l_ | alexfpms: gt5xxM is mentioned in that wiki page. and since the user said he has 2 cards that will cause alot of problems if he doesnt use bumblebee or reduce it to one of the cards in the bios | 19:58 |
| javierf_ | trism, I think I understood everything except for the last sentence about "clicking the app". | 19:59 |

| Sebastian719 | I have a linux software raid. Lost a drive. RMA'd. Got a drive back. Set everything up... but ran into trouble. | 20:46 |
| never | tyrog thanks :D u think an update would be good? | 20:46 |
| Sebastian719 | There is somehow, very slightly less space for a partition. And if I shrink it in mdadm, it won't mount - I get a bad geometry error. | 20:47 |
| tyrog | never: depends if you want stability or more recent packages. Although 12.10 is stable for me | 20:47 |
| alexfpms | User123, i have an usb keyboard and it works without modifying init scripts | 20:47 |
| User123 | "the command sudo sed.. do that at your place" sudo sed.. doesn't works; and what does "do that at your place means"? | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | never: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbrOrR3wctc | 20:47 |
| tyrog | never: do you like unity? If so, there are new features in 12.10. The rest is more or less the same with new versions | 20:47 |

| alexfpms | User123, i was wrong, i've no read it, just saw sed ... witch is stream editor | 20:51 |
| never | tyrog what ubuntu is the best, u think? | 20:51 |
| alexfpms | User123, so with sed you can modify text files | 20:51 |
| tyrog | never: i only tested ubuntu 12.10, will test kubuntu 12.10 soon | 20:51 |

| i7c | is there a daemon to stream videos over tcp? like some mpd equivalent?? | 20:52 |
| never | ActionParsnip i know thats why i use 12.04 now | 20:52 |
| tyrog | never: so you are used to them, if you like GTK go with ubuntu (or xubuntu), if you are more on the Qt side choose Kubuntu | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | never: its (ubuntu - Gnome - Unity - compiz) + lxde + openbox | 20:52 |
| never | tyrog i use Elemantary OS and ubuntu right now ;) | 20:53 |

| alexfpms | User123, yes, before | 20:57 |
| never | tyrog gedit is not that bad... | 20:57 |
| javierf_ | trism, once I created the .desktop and the .py files, I gave execution permissions to .py, but don't know how to start it... | 20:57 |
| tyrog | never: precisely the opposite, it's very good xd | 20:57 |

| rtgkid | Hello. | 21:37 |
| terafl0ps | guntbert, The physical machine is a quad core i7 1.73 GHz chip. Since the cores are all hyperthreaded, I gave Virtualbox 4 virtual CPUs for the VM. The process in the VM is only using 100% of one virtual CPU so it has plenty of headroom. It's only using half the memory I allocated it too. | 21:37 |
| rtgkid | I have a question for anyone who can answer. How do you install the extra Compiz animations in Quantal? I have tried installing compiz-fusion-plugins-extra in the terminal, but the package no longer exists, apparently. | 21:38 |
| ardchoille | rtgkid: apt-cache search -n compiz | grep plugin | 21:39 |
| terafl0ps | So in the meantime, I'm using the FTP server to try and pull off log files to figure out what the heck happened. | 21:39 |
| sean_ | ok, This is really frustrating me now. Can someone please PM me with instruction on how to get my Native Resolution of 1220x800 for this PB laptop, It uses SiS Graphic drivers, I've gone to additional drivers and nothing displays :) can someone please help me. | 21:39 |
| rtgkid | ardchoille: Should I type that in the terminal? | 21:39 |
| alexfpms | rtgkid, it exists but it is not recommended: compiz-plugins-extra compiz-plugins-main | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rtgkid: ask in #compiz too | 21:40 |
| guntbert | terafl0ps: and of course you didn't install the php interface for vbox (neither did I) | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | rtgkid: yes, that will help you find all compiz plugins packages | 21:40 |
| rtgkid | ardchoille: And thanks for the reply. | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | rtgkid: from that output you can choose what to install | 21:40 |
| terafl0ps | guntbert, lol no. That would be useful about now. | 21:40 |
| alexfpms | alexfpms, but keep in mind compiz-plugins-extra compiz-plugins-main are transitional pakages | 21:41 |
| Jimster480-L | whast up | 21:41 |
| rtgkid | ardchoille: I installed compiz-plugins-extra... But I cannot find the extra animations in Compiz. Is a log-out/in or reboot needed? | 21:41 |

I look at the IDs on the Seagate stickers, and I expect them to match the names in /dev/disks/by-id/..., as they have in the past, but they don't now. Any idea what the problem is?

| Radikal08 | hello, im going mad! | 22:00 |
| Jisawesome2 | Why Hello | 22:00 |
| Radikal08 | Is there a very easy way for me to copy folders to /usr/ | 22:00 |
| Radikal08 | it says i dont have permission | 22:00 |
| Radikal08 | i know it has to do with Sudo and root | 22:00 |
| Radikal08 | i just dont know how to come around it | 22:00 |
| Stmeter | Radikal08: You need to put sudo before your command | 22:01 |
| Radikal08 | but i am not doing it from the terminal | 22:01 |
| Jisawesome2 | Your new to ubuntu arent you | 22:01 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, i think you can't resize it because it is mounted | 22:01 |
| Radikal08 | No and yes, i used to have it years ago | 22:01 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: already checked and it's unmounted | 22:01 |
| crazyns | what is a good way to implement RADIUS on Ubuntu 12.04 and what type of encryption can I use? | 22:02 |
| Stmeter | as well as the fact that the unmount button is disabled too. | 22:02 |
| marouane | open nautilus with sudo permissions | 22:02 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, but in your image there is mount point | 22:02 |
| marouane | sudo nautilus on your terminal | 22:02 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: I see, how would unmount it? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | marouane: gksudo for nautilus | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | 22:02 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | marouane: don't use sudp for GUI apps | 22:03 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, i suppose your system is in it, isn't it ? | 22:03 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: I'm booting from a live cd on my server. | 22:03 |
| Radikal08 | Marouane: THANK you | 22:03 |
| Radikal08 | it worked! | 22:03 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, sudo umount /dev/sda5 | 22:04 |
| zykotick9 | marouane: i hope you noticed the !gksudo factoid above! DO NOT use sudo with GUI apps. | 22:04 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: umount: /dev/sda5: not mounted | 22:05 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, did you refreshed gparted ? | 22:05 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, ctrl + r | 22:05 |
| Stmeter | I haven't, hold on. | 22:05 |
| crazyns | Does anyone know a good way to implement radius for ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: same problem | 22:06 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, it still has the mount point ? | 22:06 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: it does | 22:07 |
| qengho | crazyns: "implement RADIUS"? | 22:07 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, try sudo umount umount /dev/mapper/par_name | 22:07 |
| manjak | anyone knows how to start minimized pidgin on startup -- i think commad... | 22:07 |
| zykotick9 | Stmeter: are you trying to resize for a livecd? if so, turn swap off first - "sudo swapoff -a" should work. | 22:07 |
| altin | anyone had this problem with cheese before http://pastebin.com/aEVZYmx0 | 22:08 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, /dev/mapper/name_you_see_as_mount_point | 22:08 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: two unmounts, or one? | 22:08 |
| Stmeter | umounts* | 22:08 |
| qengho | crazyns: since RADIUS is a protocol and you use the word "implement", it sounds like you want to create a new program that uses RADIUS protocol in some way. | 22:08 |
| crazyns | radius is a way to authenticate users for wireless Internet using wpa2 Enterprise | 22:09 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, just try sudo umount /dev/ma... | 22:09 |

| oldos2er | zykotick9: sweet, thank you | 22:37 |
| terafl0ps | For example, if you like the web, JavaScript is probably a good place to start. | 22:37 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, there is valuable data on sda5 ? | 22:37 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: yup | 22:37 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, so it is important to not destroy it ? | 22:37 |
| qengho | crazyns: tying together two ideas: I once wrote (90% of) a RADIUS server in Scheme (Guile) so I would know the language better. | 22:37 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: well I currently have 2 monitors that is working with the major video card | 22:37 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: here's the youtube video of a 6 monitor setup on 9.04, an earlier release. http://youtu.be/c1TOAXAbOAI | 22:38 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: yeah, it would be pretty bad if it's gone | 22:38 |
| Mfinab | will check this Izinucs thanks | 22:38 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: email the guy | 22:38 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, ok so the best solution is to create a new partition from the free space and add it to lvm | 22:38 |
| eryhp222 | what kind of things is python and perl good for | 22:38 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: alright, how would I do that? | 22:39 |
| Multbrelch | Q: I have the Nvidea 295.40 driver for 12.04 64 Bit (my system: DELL M1330, GeForce 8400M GS). On the nvidea homepage they propose the 304.60 driver. Do you think that it is a good idea to change? | 22:39 |
| crazyns | gengho, thanks | 22:39 |
| qengho | crazyns: If you're going to be a great programmer, the language will not matter. There are about 4 kinds of languages. Once you know one, picking up the others is easy. | 22:39 |
| eryhp222 | thats what i was thinking | 22:39 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, choose free space in cfdisk | 22:39 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: he must have the exact same video cards 3 times | 22:39 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: (personal opinion) but using nvidia.com's driver on ubuntu is a bad idea | 22:39 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, then new | 22:39 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: that certainly helps. | 22:39 |
| qengho | crazyns: so, if you learn C++, learning Python is minor. It's like going from Spanish to Italian. | 22:39 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: primary or logical? | 22:40 |
| crazyns | lol | 22:40 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, why? | 22:40 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, sda5 is already logical | 22:40 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, so logical | 22:40 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: well, for one, nvidia.com's driver is NOT supported here... or in ubuntu OS | 22:40 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: I'll have to buy 2 other same video cards.. :/ | 22:40 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: alright, sda6 is created | 22:40 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, really | 22:40 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, set type of the partition to 8E | 22:40 |
| trism | Multbrelch: 304.48 is in 12.04 if you want to try it, nvidia-experimental-304, x-updates ppa has 304.60 https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 22:41 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: or at least the same manufacturer | 22:41 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: where is that? | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | crazyns: it will use a similar mentality, flow / functional thinking etc though | 22:41 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: it's tough mixing ati and nvidia together. | 22:41 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, you were too fast | 22:41 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: agree that it would help, | 22:41 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: There wasn't an option to do that. | 22:41 |
| crazyns | Npc, yes but would it be easier to learn c++ starting off or python | 22:41 |
| Multbrelch | trism, I see ... hmmm anybody has some experiences. | 22:41 |
| Multbrelch | ? | 22:41 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, there is choose type | 22:41 |
| Stmeter | Only options there were: primary or logicial and disk size. | 22:41 |
| trism | Multbrelch: oh seems 304.41 is also there, nvidia-current-updates | 22:41 |
| Izinucs | How do I restart the wacom tablet daemon? | 22:41 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: for having 3x HD7850 ati video card would cost me another 450 bucks | 22:42 |
| trism | Multbrelch: sorry 304.43 | 22:42 |
| Npc | crazyns: if you learn to program using python you know the basics of programming and then you learn the more complicated c++ syntax | 22:42 |
| Izinucs | Multbrelch: there's also the ppa by xswat that has the latest drivers. | 22:42 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: I found the type screen but there isn't one for "8E" | 22:42 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: ouch.. do you need that much horsepower? | 22:42 |
| Npc | crazyns: if you start with c++ the syntax may be hard to cope with at the beginning | 22:42 |
| zykotick9 | Multbrelch: fyi, PPAs are also, NOT supported in #ubuntu | 22:42 |
| qengho | crazyns: python will get you further sooner, and trick you into thinking you're a better programmer than you are. | 22:42 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, look for LVM Linux | 22:42 |
| Multbrelch | zykotick9, sorry for asking ;-) | 22:43 |
| qengho | crazyns: a + b is the same as b + a. Just pick one. | 22:43 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: http://i.imgur.com/t8wVV.png | 22:43 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: I currently running this video card HD7850 ... if 2 other video cards from ATI but really cheap could work, I would buy this instead .. I dont need so much horsepower | 22:43 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: do the research before loosing cash out of your wallet | 22:43 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, and when you press continue ? | 22:44 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: it asks what type I want | 22:44 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, strange it must like that: http://www.markus-gattol.name/misc/mm/si/content/cfdisk_1.png | 22:44 |
| Stmeter | hold on | 22:45 |
| === scouts is now known as Xenopus | ||
| Mfinab | Izinucs: thanks for your help! very appreciate it! Now i'll try to find 2 small ATI video cards with 2 outputs on them and make sure they work good with my HD7850.. wondering if there is already someone on the planet with that setup :/ | 22:45 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: also make sure that the cards will be compatible with the same driver you currently have installed. | 22:45 |
| Karlyle | what's the point of life? | 22:46 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: okay I got it | 22:46 |
| Stmeter | I made it 8E | 22:46 |
| Mfinab | how can i check that Izinucs? If I go to ati amd drivers site and select the cheap video card drivers.. I have to check if it is the same version of HD7850 right? | 22:46 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, then "write" it | 22:46 |
| eryhp222 | anyone think i should run LOIC on this ip "192.168.1.1 | 22:47 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: are you currently running the ATI driver or what every was default in ubuntu? If it's the ATI driver then use their site to find out :) | 22:47 |
| Nyko[Fr] | Hi ! | 22:47 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: using a nick as the first word in a line will highlight your message to the person you're sending it too.. | 22:47 |
| Karlyle | life has no meaning | 22:47 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: yes, it is the ATI driver that is running right now | 22:47 |

| johnjacobjingerh | 89mbps down 49mbps up and 2ms ping response | 22:48 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, so ? | 22:48 |
| johnjacobjingerh | w007 | 22:48 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: It says I have to toggle bootable flag, and I do and it says I still have to toggle it. | 22:48 |
| johnjacobjingerh | crazyns, umm that's relative... | 22:48 |
| zykotick9 | Stmeter: fyi, boot flag on a grub system? grub doesn't care about the boot flag? | 22:49 |
| Stmeter | zykotick9: to update table toggle bootable flag of the current partition, kpartx(8) or reboot | 22:49 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, so it writed it ? | 22:50 |
| Stmeter | Nope | 22:50 |
| Rounin | Hello! I'm trying to upgrade to the newest version, but it keeps aborting because this-and-that is trying to overwrite such-and-such, which is in package something-or-other | 22:50 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, the changes ? | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | Stmeter: i have no clue, haven't used a boot flag in years. | 22:50 |
| crazyns | johnjacobjingerh, how so? I'm new to programming so I want to figure the best route is all | 22:50 |
| Rounin | First it was Georgian fonts; now it's cpp-4.7 | 22:50 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, ok quit | 22:50 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, refresh gparted | 22:50 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: Ok i found it ... I need to get 12.8 proprietary linux x86 for my HD7850 now I need to find a video card that will work with this driver version | 22:50 |
| Rounin | If I run update-manager -d, it says I'm trying to upgrade from quantal to precise, which I'm not | 22:50 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, what it shows now ? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rounin: the -d is for (d)evelopment | 22:51 |
| Rounin | Is there some sensible way of just telling it to upgrade what it can upgrade and forget the rest? | 22:51 |
| johnjacobjingerh | crazyns, best language is relative to what you want your program to run on | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | Rounin: -d is development | 22:51 |
| Rounin | Aha... Thanks! | 22:51 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: there you go :) and how to set it up | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rounin: there is no development release at the moment | 22:51 |
| johnjacobjingerh | i mean java can be good and so can c++ | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rounin: reading the man page would show you that | 22:51 |
| Stmeter | alexfpms: May I pm? | 22:51 |
| Rounin | Without the -d, it still says I'm trying to upgrade from "quantal" to "precise", though | 22:51 |
| johnjacobjingerh | also if you are looking for mobile use of your program you'd need the SDK for whatever device you are writing for | 22:51 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, pm ??? | 22:52 |
| Stmeter | To send you the picture. | 22:52 |
| Random832 | Rounin: wait, it says what? | 22:52 |
| Rounin | And apt-get fails because of the aforementioned "trying to overwrite" errors | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Rounin: Congratulations, you discovered a bug! A neat one for sure! | 22:52 |
| crazyns | johnjacobjingerh, ok I see, so there is not a best practice to communicate between linux and windows | 22:52 |
| alexfpms | Stmeter, yes | 22:52 |
| johnjacobjingerh | doesnt matter | 22:52 |
| johnjacobjingerh | lol | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Rounin: Are you able to pastebin those error reports? | 22:52 |
| johnjacobjingerh | both C++ and Java work on Windows obviously | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Rounin: did you edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal | 22:52 |
| crazyns | johnjacobjingerh, I was thinking on using open ldap to query and write to AD | 22:52 |
| johnjacobjingerh | either way irrelvant if you dont know a programming language | 22:52 |
| johnjacobjingerh | well that's not programming | 22:53 |
| johnjacobjingerh | that's scripting | 22:53 |
| sun_devil | what is windows | 22:53 |

| ubottu | johnjacobjingerh: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:53 |
| Rounin | Sure... Here's the one from running apt-get dist-upgrade http://pastebin.com/jHE8czpr | 22:53 |
| johnjacobjingerh | crazyns, u could script that, but why? you can just use AD replication to keep them in sync | 22:53 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: I found it, 29$ each, HD 5450 from ATI, will buy 2 of the Monday. Let see what's gonna happend | 22:53 |
| Rounin | apt-get -f dist-upgrade, even | 22:53 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: they use the same driver | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | johnjacobjingerh: AD = active directory? | 22:54 |
| Izinucs | Mfinab: good luck to you.. make sure you post a solution to ubuntuforums.org as a how-to when you're done. | 22:54 |
| Mfinab | Izinucs: ok, | 22:55 |
| johnjacobjingerh | zykotick9, yes i assume that is what crazyns is talking about | 22:55 |

| TJ- | Rounin: You've got something interested there. At first glance it seems theres something amiss with the packages. Here's the packages that *should* contain that file. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=cc1&mode=exactfilename&suite=quantal&arch=any | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Rounin: its a simple LTS to non-LTS upgrade so the guide for upgrading from Lucid to Maverick is the same: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades | 22:57 |

| marouane | someone know why ubuntu couldn't find deb command please ? | 22:59 |
| Rounin | Mm... I wound up removing gccgo with dpkg, TJ-, and that allowed it to be removed with apt-get for whatever reason | 22:59 |
| zykotick9 | marouane: there is no "deb" command | 22:59 |
| TJ- | Rounin: I'm guessing now - I only have a small clue to go on - but I suspect this is because in the Precise package of gccgo wasn't fully converted to multilib support and contained that file (based on the package versions). Let me check some more | 22:59 |
| Rounin | Ah | 22:59 |
| KiLuMnaTi | will this work for ubuntu 12.10 http://lightrush.ndoytchev.com/random-1/herculesdjconsoleonkernel2635orubuntumaverick | 23:00 |

| TJ- | Rounin: OK, well you're safe to reinstall "gccgo" later - it no longer contains the overlapping files.. What's next? | 23:01 |

| dante123 | hi all, setting up linux pc for my daughter....I have a dlink DWL G510 and a DWL 520+ I cant remember which one gave me some issues under ubuntu before....just wondering which one I should try first (hoping that all works well)? | 23:07 |
| zykotick9 | dante123: start with your wireless card (or are they both cards?). are they usb or pci? | 23:08 |
| dante123 | they are both pci cards | 23:08 |
| zykotick9 | dante123: use "lspci | grep -i network" and see if the chipset is mentioned for wireless (note - this doesn't always show the wireless!) | 23:09 |
| dante123 | I have read that there are like three different 520+ and that I may need to do something with blacklist prism54 or something | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | marouane: do you want to install spotify? | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | dante123: that's why finding the chipset is important for directions ;) | 23:09 |
| crimsonmane | dante123: check the compatibility charts? | 23:10 |

| uberTaco | So, it's been a while since I had a support question. But here's one! | 23:14 |
| uberTaco | Since the upgrade to 12.10, I've been forced to use the "radeon" driver for my Radeon HD4200M rather than fglrx | 23:15 |
| uberTaco | (since fglrx-legacy isn't in the repos, but fglrx 12.8 is) | 23:15 |
| KiLuMnaTi | anyone here help me out | 23:16 |
| uberTaco | Now I'm back to the same problem that caused me to switch away from the radeon driver -- on resume, I just have a black non-backlit screen. | 23:16 |
| uberTaco | Any suggestions? | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | uberTaco: literally JUST found this: http://tips-linux.net/blog/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10/ | 23:16 |

| IdleOne | KiLuMnaTi: have you tried doing what that link says? | 23:24 |
| === scouts is now known as ghujujujuju | ||
| KiLuMnaTi | no | 23:24 |
| KiLuMnaTi | wanted to know if it will work under 12.10 | 23:25 |
| IdleOne | you can find out by trying | 23:25 |
| KiLuMnaTi | which one .. both? | 23:25 |
| KiLuMnaTi | For Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and 11.04 Natty with Linux 2.6.38 or Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and 10.10 Maverick with Linux 2.6.35 | 23:26 |
| captine | hi. dumb question, but my xchat window has somehow been moved so that I can only see part of it. I cannot see the top bar (it is not maximized) so how do i move it? | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | captine: try hold ALT on keyboard and mouse dragging the window. | 23:28 |
| ardchoille | captine: try ALT+mouse move | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | captine: hold down the ALT key and left click to grab | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | captine: hold windows key and drag it from any point on the app window | 23:28 |
| captine | so easy | 23:28 |
| captine | thnx all | 23:28 |
| captine | ALT worked | 23:28 |
| * zykotick9 will laugh if only ActionParsnip is correct above | 23:28 | |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: i headr someone say it was windows key for them a few days back | 23:29 |
| reuf | i made some changes to nautilus in source - i want to compile these changes and reload nautilius - i downloaded source - "apt-get source nautilus" and i already made changes to the source (nautilus 3.4.2) - in src/nautilus-desktop-icon-view.c - view > g_object_new (NAUTILUS_TYPE_DESKTOP_ICON_VIEW, "window-slot", slot, "supports-zooming", FALSE, "supports-auto-layout", FALSE, "supports-scaling", TRUE,"supports-keep-aligned", TRUE, "supports-labels-beside- | 23:29 |
| reuf | icons", FALSE, NULL); < lines 785-792 | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | captine: dead handy | 23:29 |
| captine | ActionParsnip, agree. | 23:29 |
| reuf | so - how do i now compile this and make it a reality | 23:29 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: it is, on my awesome windows manager ;) but "I" didn't say it. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: gah | 23:30 |
| ardchoille | Is there a way to have middle click on the desktop bring up a window list? | 23:31 |
| themhz | if I have a folder with permission 777 from apache server a and transfer it via ftp to apache server b, the permission will change accordingly or they will remain the same? | 23:32 |
| Wasp | hi all has anyone discovered any workarounds to get openvpn to work? | 23:32 |
| jrib | !vpn | Wasp | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Wasp: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 23:32 |
| Wasp | thank you | 23:33 |
| KiLuMnaTi | how do i uninstall some after installing | 23:33 |
| jrib | KiLuMnaTi: how did you install it? | 23:33 |
| === jimerickson is now known as Guest65090 | ||
| blackshirt | themhz, with webhosting tool provided, they would change permission accordingly | 23:33 |
| KiLuMnaTi | jrib in terminal | 23:34 |
| KiLuMnaTi | sudo commands | 23:34 |
| jrib | KiLuMnaTi: be more specific. | 23:34 |
| KiLuMnaTi | this tutorial http://lightrush.ndoytchev.com/random-1/herculesdjconsoleonkernel2635orubuntumaverick | 23:34 |
| themhz | I mean the permissions are folders property or the system grands them with ? | 23:34 |
| jrib | KiLuMnaTi: are you on maverick? | 23:34 |
| KiLuMnaTi | nope ubuntu | 23:35 |
| KiLuMnaTi | i think i screwed it up | 23:35 |
| KiLuMnaTi | now i just want to uninstall it | 23:35 |
| jrib | KiLuMnaTi: what version of ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| KiLuMnaTi | 12.10 | 23:35 |
| FloodBot1 | KiLuMnaTi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:35 |
| jrib | KiLuMnaTi: just use « sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE » for whatever package you installed | 23:35 |
| blackshirt | themhz, every object file/dir associated with some basic permission like you told .... With some user and group owner | 23:36 |
| KiLuMnaTi | k | 23:36 |
| themhz | thank you blackshirt | 23:36 |
| KiLuMnaTi | thanks | 23:36 |
| blackshirt | themhz, they given by system, to user ... The user owned the object then can change the permission or give the others access | 23:37 |
| blackshirt | Given | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | KiLuMnaTi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rojtberg/hdjmod; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hdjmod-dkms | 23:38 |
| themhz | ic | 23:38 |
| themhz | thanx again blackshirt | 23:39 |
| blackshirt | themhz, glads can help you | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | KiLuMnaTi: if you scroll down the link you gave, it has a PPA. I checked the PPA and it does support quantal | 23:41 |
| itatitat | guys I have this error message when I try to start apache 2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/203844/apache-doesnt-start-after-upgrade-to-12-10, is the first time I see it, can you help me please?= | 23:41 |
| blackshirt | themhz, until you are using MAC/RBAC and configure them correctly, the owner of object can give some access to other user/groups | 23:41 |
| captine | so has anyone on 12.10 had the software center crash after every application install? | 23:42 |
| jrib | itatitat: did you read what you posted? | 23:42 |
| blackshirt | captine, use some more powerfull tool, apt-get/aptitude was best for packages management | 23:43 |
| somethinginteres | Having real trouble booting 12.10 from USB. I've tried unetbootin, LinuxLive, no dice. I've checked the bios and made sure to select the USB to boot. It simply says "boot error" and loads the OS. | 23:44 |
| itatitat | I tried writing start cron, but apache continue without running | 23:44 |
| captine | thanks blackshirt . I am just trying to use the stock software where possible, to show my wife that Ubuntu is as good as Mac (she has a mac and i am running ubuntu only laptop) | 23:45 |
| jrib | itatitat: why are you involving cron if your issue is with apache? | 23:45 |
| captine | so software center is more non-technical with pretty pictures etc. :) | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | somethinginteres, Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO? | 23:45 |
| themhz | blackshirt, so basically the system (sudo? the super user?) grants another user/group with permissions to manage objects files/directories but those objects files folders dont know anything about the user that is managing them, right? | 23:46 |
| itatitat | ou sorry, I read the wrong command.......so sorry | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | 23:48 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:48 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip:I believe the second method I used did a verfication of the image prior to making the USB but I will check it now. | 23:49 |
| itatitat | but now making "sudo start apache2" I have this messgae: Unknown job: apache2 | 23:51 |
| Jimster480-L | apache2? | 23:52 |
| Jimster480-L | wth is that lol. Its service is called httpd | 23:52 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: it's perhaps worth pointing out that if I do a hard disk install via unetbootin it boots. check md5 now | 23:52 |
| jrib | itatitat: sudo service apache2 start | 23:53 |
| jrib | !who | itatitat | 23:53 |
| ubottu | itatitat: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:53 |
| rustyrazorblade | i'm setting up a VM with multiple lxc containers. any advice on how to handle the network settings so the containers can SSH to each other? ideally this would be self contained in the VM | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimster480-L: use tab and you will see the service names | 23:54 |
| itatitat | ubottu: thanks!, is very useful, thanks | 23:55 |
