[00:00] w3p5t3r: i think you need to clarify to the channel what you are doing and why.... === Guest578 is now known as jamesmtechy [00:01] When I try booting into a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 I get "error: unknown filesystem [00:01] grub rescue >" [00:01] hello [00:01] Any ideas...? I'm using ext3 [00:01] i like communication of my doing....but i can every user not tell from the scratch every time....thx alot again [00:03] Vustom, You have grub in the mbr of the HD it is installed in and is that HD first in the bios [00:03] i guess i will just ignore it === gonyere_ is now known as gonyere [00:05] hello [00:05] 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) [00:06] wilee-nilee: I was messing around with grub in the mbr then decided to reinstall 12.10 because i screwed it up [00:07] wilee-nilee: this time i put the boot in the same partition as ubuntu (/dev/sda2) [00:07] Is this a support channel? [00:07] readyman_: yes [00:07] Vustom, You need it in the mbr to boot. [00:08] 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. [00:09] Vustom, here is a link to a chroot from a live cd to put grub in the mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot [00:10] 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 [00:12] 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] nrdb, are you opening from a remote source? [00:12] nrdb, or locally? [00:12] nrdb, thats big [00:13] and blackshirt's right, that's a HUGE image [00:13] it'd take time to render regardless [00:13] 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] nrdb: tried a different viewer? [00:14] TheLordOfTime, I am using logged in remotely (qtNX), so the file is being opened locally. [00:14] ActionParsnip, I don't know of any other viewers for JPG that is installed. [00:15] nrdb, i think the "remotely logged in" aspect has something to do with it [00:15] nrdb, what are you using to remotely log in? [00:15] 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] nrdb: try opening with qiv [00:16] nrdb: or gqview [00:16] 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] nrdb, are you using vnc? [00:17] nrdb, I know that when i used to log in using vnc it was abysmal [00:17] Draton, the computer is something like 250km away. [00:17] How can I obtain the files necessary to PXE boot Ubuntu 12.10? [00:17] nrdb, distance isn't the limiting factor, it's the pipe between you === FOKER is now known as F0K3R [00:18] !vnc | nrdb [00:18] 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] Draton, when I move the windows about the delay is about 1/2 second to update [00:19] nrdb, also keep in mind if you're running vnc, there's some processor/gfx power going into doing the forwarding [00:21] 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] ActionParsnip, nether qiv or gqview are installed... I suppose I could install one. === adante_ is now known as adante [00:21] nrdb, def. worth a shot [00:21] nrdb, sudo apt-get! :) [00:21] agrester: Or even most likely because you arent using full paths to the rsync binary. [00:22] Draton, the load is about 0.1 atm [00:22] bekks: heres the pastebin [00:22] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1289532/ [00:22] 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 [00:23] 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] 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? [00:24] agrester: That script does not contain any commands to mount or ensure that your drive is mounted. [00:24] true_techie: ask in ##windows [00:24] true_techie: you will likely have to reinstall grub or the windows boot loader [00:24] bekks: in the default setup how are Windows partitions mounted in dual boot setups? [00:24] agrester: They arent mounted by default :) [00:25] bekks: it seems that even upstart doesn't do this which is so annoying because that would be the most elegant solution [00:25] agrester: The most elegant solution would be to create a fstab entry. [00:26] 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] agrester: No. It will just be mounted to a specific mountpoint - always. [00:27] bekks: so then I can just use the "mounted" event in /etc/init/whatever.conf to run the script? [00:27] agrester: i do something very similar myself, i mount my ntfs via fstab - works like a charm. [00:28] Drafton, bekks, how do I do this? [00:29] Draton, the qiv program program is also very slow! [00:29] agrester: add an entry to you fstab, /dev/sdb* /media/sdb* ntfs nls=iso8859-1,umask=000 0 0 [00:29] where * = your ntfs drive [00:30] 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? [00:31] agrester: That "name" is the folder /media/ and the UUID of the filesystem 6EA8E929A8E8F08F [00:31] Just mount it to /mnt/myotherdrive/ === lizzin is now known as Guest69075 [00:32] bekks: so that [00:32] agrester: bekks is right, i just mount my sdb1/sdd1 to /media/sdb1 and /media/sdd1 respectively [00:32] Drafton: so from then on my drive will have a normal name? [00:32] And dont use /media/ for static mountpoints, that may interfere with the automounter [00:33] agrester: Your drive doesnt have a name at all, you just have a named mountpoint. [00:33] heh, bekks, forgot i had run into that problem, but i had my way w/ the automounter [00:33] 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" [00:34] bekks: the automounter is the problem, how do I work around that? [00:34] agrester: I just told you. [00:34] agrester: you just use /mnt/yourdrivenamehere instead of /media [00:34] agrester: Use /mnt/myotherdrive instead of a mountpoint in /media/ [00:35] systems: is something using rc.local? [00:35] 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] bekks: so /mnt/newname and /media/xxxxxxx will be mirror images? [00:35] agrester: No. [00:35] how do i find out draton [00:35] sorry for repeat [00:35] systems, Why would you sudo cat? [00:35] agrester: /mnt/something will contain a static mountpoint and /media/ is designated for automounter mountpoints. [00:35] just being the root [00:35] I have problems with distorted sound and echo with vlc. Often sound is only distorted for the first few seconds or a minute of a file, then sound is normal. when I skip to the next song/video, sound is distorted again. I tried recording it with Sound Recorder, but I can't get that to work. [00:36] ok, when I edit the fstab, I have to reboot yes? [00:36] systems, cat does not need root I believe. [00:36] agrester: No. === christopher is now known as Guest54853 [00:36] wilee-nilee: cat does need root priviledges, but the part after the > isnt run as root. [00:37] thanks buddy [00:37] "sudo cat misc/rc.local > sudo /etc/rc.local" worked [00:37] bekks, Hehe I knew something was wrong cat as I know it is just a text read in the terminal. [00:38] wilee-nilee: it is but like any command it's subject to the underlying permissioning [00:38] 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] thanks guys [00:38] OUCH. :) [00:38] lol [00:38] echo ... | sudo tee ... [00:38] THATS the elegant way. [00:38] Or even run sudo -i and just issue your cat cmd. [00:40] i assume you were trying to append to the end of /etc/rc.local? :) [00:40] bekks: do I need to create the folder /mnt/windows or will it just appear automatically? [00:42] how do you configure unity in Quantal? [00:43] palabrista, What do you want to do with it? === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [00:43] I am having trouble setting up my server [00:43] wile-nileee, I want to change the default font === mc is now known as Guest24609 [00:45] Jisawesome2: in what way? [00:45] !myunity [00:45] Well, for one I do not know how [00:45] After watching some videos, it seems I shuold be connected to a server [00:45] So it reads jisawesome@server~$ [00:45] Jisawesome2: what is the server offering as a service? [00:45] But instead it reads jisawesome@localhost [00:46] It will end up offering web hosting and file hosting [00:46] wilee-nilee: myunity was dropped in quantal [00:46] I have a radeon HD 4670. Will the Proprietary ATI Catalyst Driver work with this card on 12.10? [00:46] Jisawesome2: and what is the output of: hostname [00:46] Jisawesome2: fyi the @server part is the computer's hostname [00:46] alazyworkaholic1: should do [00:46] trism, I thought it had been thanks. [00:46] localhost [00:46] but i can't install myunity since i upgraded [00:47] Jisawesome2: then you have named the server localhost, which will cause issues [00:47] I never named it that [00:47] !info myunity | palabrista [00:47] palabrista: Package myunity does not exist in quantal [00:47] So I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, but had to run it in nomodeset since it would blackscreen at startup. But now I have essentially no graphics card? Is there a solution? Or maybe another way rather than using nomodeset? [00:47] palabrista: its been removed [00:47] palabrista: and tweak-ubuntu is dying too [00:47] At one point it asked me to name it and I named it ubuntu-x-xxxx [00:47] palabrista, Not sure on 12.10 I have it installed but I'm in precise at the moment, I use the gnome shell as well. [00:48] palabrista: gnome-tweak-tool is an option [00:48] Jisawesome2: if you want to change it see "/msg ubottu hostname" [00:48] ActionParsnip: I liked those features, i could customize several options [00:48] I need to do "sudo grub-mkdevicemap" for my Ubuntu partition from a Live CD, is this possible? [00:48] now called the tweak-tool after install [00:48] trism: how well does that package work in Quantal? [00:48] actionparsnip do I need to rerun setup [00:48] hello all. anyone got some time and knowledge on mounting a terastation on ubuntu 9.10? I am having problems with permissions. I am unable to drag and drop [00:49] palabrista: works fine [00:49] So I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, but had to run it in nomodeset since it would blackscreen at startup. But now I have essentially no graphics card? Is there a solution? Or maybe another way rather than using nomodeset? [00:49] ActionParsnip: I read that ATI had dropped support for the HD4000 series in their latest driver. Is ubuntu 12.10 using an older version? [00:50] How do I reinstall ububtu server? [00:50] Or is there a way to rename it? [00:50] alazyworkaholic1: not sure, I don't buy ATi [00:50] alazyworkaholic1: ATI proprietary drivers do not work very well [00:50] Jisawesome2: run: sudo -i [00:50] alazyworkaholic1: have you tried xorg? [00:51] actionparsnip It brings up a password field that wont let me type naything [00:51] Jisawesome2: then run: nano /etc/hosts and edit one of the localhosts so that the name can resolve to 127.0.0.1 [00:51] trism: thanx, ill try it [00:51] How do I get out of the password field [00:51] Vustom, This herman link suggests it it's for use by other programs or scripts. http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Bash%20Commands.html#grub-mkdevicemap [00:51] palabrista: Sorry, not sure what you mean... [00:51] Jisawesome2: also run: nano /etc/hostname and change the name to the same name as in /etc/hosts this file sets the host name [00:52] Woah [00:52] Now it became root@lovalhost [00:52] Jisawesome2: setting those 2 files with the same name etc is how you change host name [00:52] Jisawesome2: yes, sudo -i is an interactive sudo [00:52] alazyworkaholic1: free drivers instead of proprietary drivers [00:52] what permissions do i set for fstab file for mounting smb nas [00:52] Do whta command now? [00:52] how do i test httpd? [00:53] nano /etc/hosts? [00:53] How can I obtain the files necessary to PXE boot Ubuntu 12.10? [00:53] palabrista: I wish, but the performance still doesn't cut it. I play a bunch of linux games. [00:53] these sound like interview questions. [00:53] I want my xubuntu to menage workspaces lilke unity, is there any way? [00:53] actionparsnip it brought up a screen that said an ip and localhost after it [00:53] alazyworkaholic1: if you dont require wine, those games should perform well [00:54] actionparsnip it brought up a screen that said an ip and localhost after it [00:54] can anyone help me out? === Lockscreen is now known as Guest95831 [00:55] palabrista: I don't use wine, but I do have games like Oil Rush which barely run on my card even with Catalyst. [00:55] Jisawesome2: yes, set the hostname there as well as in /etc/hostname [00:55] how do i test httpd? [00:55] actionparsnip jUst right over localhost? [00:55] systems: Attempt to browse something hosted over it? [00:56] systems: open a web browser and in the address bar type the server name [00:56] alazyworkaholic1: i don't like catalyst, haha [00:56] Can anyone here confirm if ATI Catalyst driver works for the HD 4000 series GPUs on Ubuntu 12.10? [00:56] Jisawesome2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1290833/ for example [00:56] I want my xubuntu to menage workspaces lilke unity, is there any way [00:56] ? [00:57] Jisawesome2: see how the name 'fileserver' also resolves to 127.0.0.1 as well as localhosts [00:57] someone said kubuntu plasma desktop is faster than unity on older systems, I see that as false. [00:57] user_: you can use compiz as the WM instead of xfwm [00:57] So create a new line with the same ip and a new name? [00:57] does someone know how to change the text on top right of kickoff in kubuntu, or at least where is the image, i can edit it with inkscape [00:57] Jisawesome2: yes, you then edit /etc/hostname to the SAME name (case sensitive) [00:58] How do I get back to the terminal screen [00:58] I joined the Linux channel, but it forwards me to##linux, and I can not send to it :-( [00:58] harryrf, For faster you have to go lighter. [00:59] How do I get back to the terminal screen [00:59] bjrohan, You have to be registerd [01:00] well, hippy skippy, how does one do that? [01:00] registered* [01:00] registurd?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [01:00] ActionParsnip: wouldnt it compromise my system resources?

[01:01] Can anyone here confirm if ATI Catalyst driver works for the HD 4000 series GPUs on Ubuntu 12.10? [01:01] Vancouver, you? [01:01] ctrl+alt+T [01:01] lazyworkaholic [01:01] bjrohan, PDX [01:01] If people do not know, they will not answer oyu [01:01] fstab is working thanks #ubuntu [01:01] How do I get back to the terminal from a file [01:01] very cool wilee-nilee [01:02] from a file? [01:02] Yes draton [01:02] 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? [01:02] bjrohan, With xchat you can set it to autologin [01:02] ctrl+c? [01:02] what was your last command? [01:02] The command to get to the file [01:02] cd? [01:02] Does anyone know much about Geany? and C? [01:02] nano draton [01:02] ahh yeah ctrl+c [01:03] How about Konversation? [01:03] oh sorry nano is ctrl-x [01:03] all that came up as [ line .... char ... ] [01:03] emacs is ctrl-x ctrl-c :) [01:03] jisawesome2: yeah my bad it's ctrl+x [01:03] Save Thank you [01:03] i hate nano with a passion :) [01:04] bjrohan, I have not used kde but here is one link I found. http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-network/konversation/serverlist.html [01:04] willdabeast: never used geany [01:04] 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? [01:04] actionparsnip It didnt help [01:04] Draton ok, it's kind of complicated anyway, not sure it's even possible [01:05] or maybe I did it wrong [01:05] willdabeast: what are you trying to do? [01:05] Grah [01:05] I am becoming very frustrated, can someone help me [01:06] Jisawesome2: what did you just add using nano? and did you save? [01:06] draton, I added an ip and hostname to etc/hosts [01:06] As well as changed etc/hostname to the second hostname in hsots [01:07] hi all - any init.d script gurus around? [01:07] Draton - I am trying to connect geany with my school's webserver so I can upload from geany to the server. [01:07] willdabeast: how are you trying to connect? you might just want to use a bash script to ssh? [01:07] willdabeast: although if it's c the best way would be git [01:07] draton, do you know how to get out of root@localhost [01:08] exit [01:08] i assume you su'd in? [01:08] sudo -i [01:08] Draton: Well how would I use git? It is for C [01:08] somebody: how do you turn on pidgin notifications in Quantal? (i don't like empathy at all) [01:08] Jisawesome2: yeah exit [01:08] how do i add a repository? [01:09] Thank you [01:09] willdabeast: well your school would have a repo setup, but if it's code source control is ideal :) [01:09] 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] draton how do I change it from saying localhost to an actualy server name [01:09] (jisawesome@localhost) [01:09] that's in /etc/hostname [01:09] !hostname [01:09] Use hostname 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] or just set your promopt to not show the hostname ;P === Harry is now known as Guest74332 [01:10] Jisawesome2: edit your /etc/hosts file to have 127.0.0.1 thehostnameyouwant [01:10] ubottu, it did not work [01:10] Jisawesome2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:10] Jisawesome2: then in /etc/hostname make it thenameyouwant [01:11] I did that [01:11] Jisawesome2: but like the bot said: make sure you have the entry in hosts before you put it in hostname [01:11] how many entries do you have in /hostname? [01:11] It should be just that one thing right? [01:11] you should only have the 1 [01:11] 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] hello [01:11] somebody: how do you turn on pidgin notifications in Quantal? (i don't like empathy at all) [01:11] draton, in hosts should I only have one? [01:12] Jisawesome2: no in hostname you should only have the 1 entry [01:12] palabrista: not ported to the new indicator-messages API yet, but if you add Pidgin to com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist and enable the systray icon, you should be able to get it mostly working [01:12] i need help,. my system occasionally freezes and logs out itself.. where or how do i check for errors? [01:12] Jisawesome2: but make sure you have the 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file for that name [01:12] willdabeast: if you're using ssh use scp [01:12] willee-nilee yippee, I set up Knoversation to auto join and confirm my nick :-) [01:12] Error writing to hosts [01:12] Permission denied [01:13] is there any hope for broadcom bcm4311 or intel iwl4965 wifi on Precise? === Guest74332 is now known as harryrf [01:13] Jisawesome2: sudo -i [01:13] bjrohan, Cool. ;) [01:13] what is scp haha sry, totally new to thi [01:13] trism: thanx [01:13] draton ^ [01:13] thank yow wilee-nilee [01:13] willdabeast: np - scp is an ssh copy of a file from a local -> remote host [01:13] bjrohan, no problem. [01:13] draton, thank you [01:14] Draton gotcha, so I guess what needs to happen is geany needs to open up terminal and access the server itself? [01:14] i need help,. my system occasionally freezes and logs out itself.. where or how do i check for errors? (ubuntu kernel 3.2.6) [01:14] wilee-nilee now I have to figure out why my desktop will not automount my usb drive on boot-up now, when it was before :-( [01:14] Jisawesome2: np, please verify the entry is in the hosts file before replacing it in the hostname file, type 'cat /etc/hosts' and make sure you see the entry there after editing [01:14] rozmuq, upgrade to a newer version! [01:14] bjrohan, is it a ntfs? [01:14] u mean the kernel? [01:14] willdabeast: right, i assume the server has an sshd? [01:14] Hey, guys! How do I eat a cheezburger?? [01:15] fit is in both draton [01:15] huh? [01:15] Draton I assume so haha [01:15] willdabeast: go to ~/.ssh/, do you have an id_rsa.pub in there? [01:16] Jisawesome2, how do i do that? [01:16] rozmuq: start by checking the tail of /var/log/syslog [01:16] Jisawesome2: i assume there's only one entry in /etc/hostname? [01:16] How do I eat a cheesburger?? [01:16] wilee-nilee: Nope, Lubuntu [01:16] rozmuq, look it up [01:16] and draton, yes [01:16] USB drive is 1TB ext4 [01:16] draton, it works now... I think [01:16] Jisawesome2: great :) [01:17] wilee-nilee: USB is 1TB ext4 [01:17] draton, dont worry, I think I have another problem [01:17] Huh? [01:17] Jisawesome2: haha [01:17] Huh?

[02:42] 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 [02:43] 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] saby: you put it on usb drive with unetbootin?

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.

[02:49] 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] cool thanks xangua ::) [02:49] mmm now that i remember, there is no more alternate for ubuntu isn't it¿¿ [02:49] jordan_u, like this>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1291011/ [02:50] xangua: yeah it seems the alternate iso is no more [02:50] willdabeast: apparently not a thread on 12.04 pointed to that tut [02:51] then i believe what i said is not valid saby :/ [02:51] it got some pretty good results [02:51] Xtremeasure gotcha, well i did that anyway, should i restart for it to take effect? [02:51] ah sad === jod is now known as Barna [02:51] willdabeast: yes [02:51] well looks like will have to use the standard upgrade option through the update manager [02:54] is there an update from 12.04 to 12.10 available ?, i am do not find that notification in update manager ... [02:55] or better to install from scratch ? [02:55] matti_: try upgrade-manager 0d [02:55] -d* [02:55] Xtremeasure, oajerwjaeawr IT WORKED! *bow**kiss feet* [02:56] willdabeast: sometimes it just takes some digging man [02:56] is lubuntu 12.10 available now? [02:56] torrem, yes [02:56] torre: looks like it [02:57] matti, thanks [02:57] matti_: yeah from a terminal or your search in the unity bar upgrade manager -d should give you the option to pull a dist upgrade [02:58] Xtremeasure, thank you will try , [02:58] matti_: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal-from-ubuntu-12-04/ [02:58] thats a complete guide there [02:58] librarian geek? [02:58] lol ? [02:59] wastrel: was that directed at me ? [03:03] hi [03:03] WeThePeople: hi [03:04] hi all, if you use ufw for the firewall, does changes take place right away? [03:04] hi [03:04] im rearanging xchat [03:04] arranging [03:04] katronix, ufw, it was just frontend for iptables backend === fred_ is now known as Diablerie_ === shantorn__ is now known as shantorn [03:05] @Katronix: I think so, if you've enabled ufw via `ufw enable` [03:05] ok [03:06] But check on that - ufw is disabled by default. [03:06] see you upgrading ... to 12.10 .. [03:06] matti_: Let me know how it goes - I think I'm going to upgrade tomorrow. [03:07] kpullen: i gotta say it isnt bad, ive been using it since alfa im using the gnome remix as i am not to fond of unity [03:07] That's good to know. No upgrade regressions that you've noticed? [03:08] not really [03:08] the most annoying is the flash settings bug but that carried from 12.04 [03:08] Well, I almost never use flash, so I guess that's good. [03:09] what is this flash bug [03:09] the composite manager and window decorator cause the flash settings screen to lock up if the flash object isnt full screend [03:09] Hey there, noob here. [03:10] what's flash settings screen [03:10] 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] you can work around it by disabling the composite manager and using gtk to manage your decorations then switching back [03:10] go to youtube and right click on a video and click the settings button [03:10] kpullen: what day? [03:11] i thought youtube uses html5 player now [03:11] kpullen, Saturday? [03:11] wastrel: apparently not still views it as a flash object in chromium and ff [03:12] i guess if you have flash it serves flash but if not it uses html5 [03:12] fancy [03:12] does that happen in Xubuntu too? [03:12] ok well i can't get rid of this settings screen [03:12] kpullen: thanks for the heads up btw [03:12] you have to close the tab [03:12] hans__: Saturday. [03:12] it locks up the flash player so user input doesnt work [03:12] Areku: i dont believe so [03:12] Mmm, its pretty boring in ubuntu, you can't really play much games. [03:13] Sorry about that: Saturday, October 20th [03:13] ty kpullen [03:13] you can meet the puppetlabs ppl [03:13] How do i make 'rm' delete all files with a certian prefix? === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [03:13] Areku: it seems to be the new versions of compiz fusion and the new window decorators conflicting somewhere [03:14] got it [03:15] hans__: try rm exaple_1*.jpg [03:16] or are they all differently named and just share a common prefix? === Fike is now known as Guest97892 [03:17] Xtremeasure: ty, it worked [03:17] hans__: np [03:17] I'm looking to add the "ready sound" to lightdm-gtk greeter under Xubuntu and so far I have only found info for it but only for the unity greeter [03:17] Xtremeasure: they were a bunch of scrots with the same date prefix [03:19] wastrel: where can i get more details on the release party:where is it, is there an entrace fee, etc. [03:20] wastrel: answered my own question: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1964/detail/ === chronossc is now known as chronos === harryrf` is now known as harryrf [03:23] Areku: you'd have to add the code to lightdm-gtk-greeter to do that, which you could do the same way as unity-greeter, add an idle callback and play the sound with canberra [03:23] Does anyone know if there is a way to overclock an intel N2600? [03:24] It runs at 1.6GHz and i NEED it to run a bit faster. Does anyone know a tool i can use. I am pretty new to overclocking in Linux === scouts__ is now known as scoutmitchell === scoutmitchell is now known as seascoutmitchell [03:25] hi [03:25] How do I do that, if it's not much to ask [03:25] hi [03:25] Areku: since your new i found a forum post that tells you exactly what you need to know [03:26] Areku: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2012204 [03:26] should show you how to do what you want to do [03:26] dartos: i found a thread on tomshardware that might help: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/262960-29-over-clocking-ubuntu-derivative [03:26] hans__: thanks ill take a look [03:27] Thanks Xtremeasure, trism, aprecciated [03:27] hans__: there were only 2 posts :( [03:27] and dartos you can always do a BIOS overclock [03:27] hans__: not supported here i check the BIOS [03:28] :( [03:28] Areku: make sure to read the whole thread they address a problem that he tells you how to fix without need, they point to a missing mp3 library [03:28] i know :( [03:28] sure thing [03:28] This thing can't even run Braid [03:28] it can barely run emacs XD [03:29] well, many computers can barely run emacs [03:29] what's braid pls [03:29] wastrel: it's a video game [03:29] wastrel: one of the best indie games ever [03:29] hans__: any other ideas? [03:30] if you're using unity as your DE you might be able to switch to something lighter for gaming [03:30] hai... [03:30] unity? the engine? [03:30] ubuntu 12.10 is beutifully [03:30] dartos: the Desktop Environment [03:30] yes [03:30] ubuntu 12.10 very good [03:30] dartos: i am running mint with xfce [03:30] 12.10 is very slow on vbox at the moment [03:30] lol [03:30] hans__: mint with xfce [03:31] linux mint is slow [03:31] dartos: ah, maybe try installing something like scrotwm just for gaming [03:31] hans__: or openbox if i really need the extra speed [03:31] 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] Birkoff: it is the only distro that supported my hardware... ubuntu just didnt... [03:31] Birkoff: nor did fedora suprisingly [03:32] dartos: ive had lbuntu running on a pentium 2 with 256mb of ram lol [03:32] yes [03:32] dartos: not that my video card wasn't compatable [03:32] anyone here uses keypass? I'm wondering if I should install keypasx or keypass2 [03:32] Xtremeasure: look above [03:32] i have to stop doing that [03:33] someone used ZOIN OS ? [03:33] are there drivers for the GMA 3600 now? [03:33] dartos: probably, intel has excelent support [03:33] how can I configure upstart to boot without any networking? [03:33] hans__: that is why i was suprised when there wasn't support for it [03:33] dartos: there should be [03:34] This scares me ... should i reinstall linux... again [03:34] what makes mint so slow compared to vinella ubuntu [03:34] or xubutnu... i am going to have to download that [03:35] 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] dartos: ElementaryOS! [03:35] upset: ??wat [03:35] did ? [03:35] artius: you get total bandwidth of 2 Gb, but 2 Gb is not guaranteed for a single flow [03:35] zerowaitstate: hmmm... i'll look into that [03:36] dartos: Elementary, like those themes, except that have a sick set of simple and efficient software. [03:36] and the shell scripting ? [03:36] dartos: Runs like a dream, [03:36] 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] upset: does it support my hardware. and is it based on debian? [03:36] dartos, try ubuntu studio [03:36] upset: it's not released yet :D [03:36] Ubuntu studio for music design ? [03:36] artos: it does seem that there is trouble with the integrated set you use [03:36] dartos: It's ubuntu basically. [03:37] but people have found a way to work it out [03:37] 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] dartos: if you're capable you might just want to consider an ubuntu minimal install and set it up with little overhead [03:37] like a Linux multimedia Studio ? [03:37] tucemiux: why? [03:37] help [03:37] dartos: Their modifications are reaaaally minor, it's mostly the software suite which makes it so fast [03:37] Xtremeasure: i spent a week with those workarounds... none worked [03:37] ubuntu studio is for multi media but nowadays ubuntu just plainly works but ubuntu studio is fast and I like the layout [03:37] zerowaitstate: i'll check into that.. thanks :) [03:37] okay [03:38] 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] I just need something that supports my hardware [03:38] where you from mister "dartos" ? [03:38] dartos: What hardware do you have again? [03:38] Cedar trail [03:38] kpullen: Atom N2600 with the GMA3600 [03:39] i just needed some help with overclocking... but if vinella ubuntu will work with this hardware thanks for the help [03:39] 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] the that something you need ???? [03:40] wastrel: slightly outdated list: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/list-of-that-websites-support-unitys-new-web-apps-feature [03:40] Can someone just tell me how i can overclock this card [03:40] 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] kpullen: i did no dice [03:40] i think it's at >30 now [03:41] kpullen: if it would have worked i would stick with fedora [03:41] kpullen: mint is like an off distro [03:41] now if only i could get udev to stop renaming my network devices.... [03:41] kpullen: and i use this thing for school [03:41] Well then, you definitely don't want to have a bunch of downtime reinstalling. [03:42] hans__: ty [03:42] nobody know how to overclock this thing....

[03:43] it keeps trying to rename my network devices... and screwing them all up in the process [03:43] hi bazhang thx [03:43] dartos, thats not an ubuntu support issue, it's hardware; /join ##hardware [03:44] 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] Xtremeasure: okay [03:44] dartos:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734&page=4 [03:44] they use a hodge podge to get the driver to work [03:45] but all of them say its effective [03:45] be right back [03:45] I tried this same one from this same thread [03:45] + i think the meego site is dead [03:45] nvm [03:46] but those links are broken [03:46] 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. [03:47] is meego still alive?? [03:47] gharz, jockey-gtk you mean? [03:47] dartos: I believe it's been forked [03:47] Jolla or something similar [03:47] nbf forked? [03:47] bazhang: i already install jockey-gtk but it doesn't run. === Ex0deus is now known as Guest61743 [03:47] nbf: they had an update on the 14th [03:47] bazhang: i'm not sure if that's jockey-gtk [03:47] gharz, what about alt f2 [03:48] dartos, how is any of this ubuntu support related [03:48] bazhang: let me re-install jockey-gtk again [03:48] gharz, i think what you're looking for is in 'software sources' [03:48] gharz, try from the run menu first [03:49] well this is a new kind of special... i've got duplicate network interfaces now [03:49] 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] gharz: the thing was moved to the 'software cources' application. there's a tab for restricted drivers [03:49] that made so much sense XD [03:49] im back and i read so the kernel modules they posted arent downloadable on your end? [03:49] infectedorganism and bazhang: i'll try that in a while. i can't install coz i'm currently updating [03:49] Xtremeasure: no but those are old kernels [03:50] yeah.. try software sources > additional drivers [03:50] gn all [03:50] Xtremeasure: i still need at lease a 2ghz to do my stuff.. so i still need to overclock... [03:50] 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] !mintsupport | dartos [03:50] dartos: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [03:51] ubottu: they don't talk on those channels tho [03:51] dartos: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:51] 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...

[03:51] i c [03:51] dartos, thats not our problem. its not supported here [03:51] Hey I'm new to this Xchat and pretty much Linux in general [03:51] you have the best irc nick ever dark elf [03:51] is there any other channels?

[03:52] bazhang: actually i asked about overclocking first [03:53] 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] darkelfjuggalo, which ubuntu flavor [03:54] can someone just tell me a program that i can use to overlclock. then i will leave [03:55] dartos: it isnt supported by your card and as bazhang said we dont support overclocking youd need to look elsewhere [03:55] dartos: join ##hardware for such issues [03:55] dartos, ##hardware [03:56] 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] 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] just like microsoft support [03:56] thx for nothing === Guest61743 is now known as Ex0deus [03:56] dartos: I think the issue is that there isn't some program that will just overclock your GPU.

[03:59] Kubuntu is default KDE isn't it? 80% of everything else pre-installed comes from K and I can't useit effeciently [04:00] darkelfjuggalo, so install some other -desktop, such as ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop and get rid of kde [04:00] thanks!!! [04:00] !puregnome | darkelfjuggalo such as in this manner [04:00] 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] bazhang: he may not be able to he said his sudo isnt working [04:01] Xtremeasure, he said his su is not working, which is a different matter [04:01] bazhang: That sounds like bad news. [04:01] darkelfjuggalo, there is no need to root login. use sudo. or sudo -i for a root shell. [04:01] kpullen: it isnt its disabled by default to keep you from damaging your systen kpullen [04:01] 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 [04:02] darkelfjuggalo, you dont ever need to [04:02] now ##hardware yells at me to ask here... [04:02] darkelfjuggalo, sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell [04:02] 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. [04:03] sudo su [04:03] Xtremeasure: use: sudo -i [04:03] 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] 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] kpullen: just use: sudo -i [04:03] Xtremeasure: OK, I misunderstood you. [04:03] ping [04:03] kpullen: no worries [04:04] hi all [04:05] 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] hi [04:05] 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] [04:06] darkelfjuggalo, imagemagick for one [04:06] 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] 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] if I can't sudo apt-get install gimp without problems, how am i supposed to get something else? [04:07] does ubuntu have mini iso for 12.10 ? [04:07] Don_Rad: it sounds like the window decorator isnt starting [04:07] darkelfjuggalo, time to do some reading and learn about imagemagick [04:07] <[deXter]> Dataholic, mini ISO? [04:07] !mini | Dataholic [04:07] i think he means netinstall [04:07] 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] Xtremeasure any idea to fix it? [04:08] bjrohan, have you placed it in /etc/fstab [04:08] ? [04:08] My guess is no blackshirt [04:08] Xtremeasure only when i start on cinnamont everything is normal :S [04:08] I am trying to set this up over an ssh connection, so all command line if possible [04:08] !fstab | bjrohan [04:08] 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 [04:09] bjrohan, why you not sure ? [04:09] <[deXter]> Hmm, I don't see an ARM version of that minimal cd.. [04:09] Don_Rad, cinnamon is a PPA; sounds like an unstable, unsupported PPA has done something to your system [04:09] !Alternate [04:09] The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [04:10] 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] [deXter], try asking in #ubuntu-arm [04:10] <[deXter]> bazhang, thanks [04:10] bazhang dang :S so, reinstall whole system ? and then no cinnamon anymore? [04:10] Don_Rad, why not just ppa-purge it [04:10] !ppa-purge | Don_Rad [04:10] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [04:11] bjrohan, that was bad... Make some notices on your step has been did [04:12] 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] blackshirt, no problem.

[04:20] I'm having no luck in forums [04:21] why does it say partition table msdos when when fdisk says Linux [04:21] I've heard people tell me its a bad idea to use gnome-shell (gnome classic) on Ubuntu. Why is this? [04:21] bjrohan: partition table is not a filesystem, so don't worry about it [04:21] ok [04:21] how does one edit fstab over ssh? [04:22] wifioregon: ive heard no such thing and i use gnome classic under the 12.10 gnome remix [04:22] bjrohan: use vi [04:23] or nano [04:23] Xtremeasure i got it! [04:23] Xtremeasure: oh okay good :-) [04:23] vim,nano,emacs [04:23] Don_Rad: your welcome [04:23] zerowaitstate: Guess I should learn it sooner or later [04:23] Xtremeasure: Ive heard that gnome classic isnt supported anymore though. Is this true? [04:23] which is the most noob friendly editor? [04:23] bjrohan: it is a good idea to know vi since it is pretty much available on every UNIX since the stone age [04:24] wifioregon: i just went and got the gnome remix iso saved me the trouble of enabling the classic fall back [04:24] Xtremeasure it was just settings disabled on compiz-settigs and work just fine, thanks dude! [04:24] ok :-) [04:24] Don_Rad: no problem [04:24] bjrohan: nano is probably the easiest to use.

[04:27] 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] yep. I had mounted it and then did an rsync over ssh that worked on spot [04:27] how can I find what started a program? [04:28] RobbieCrash: parent pid?

[04:31] Don_Rad youd have to add them to your start up manager [04:32] Xtremeasure i'll try [04:32] bjrohan: defaults automatically sets these options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async [04:32] Hmm, then why may it not automount?

[04:46] 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] not sure how this works, it's my first time using xchat [04:46] OliviaF: Might want to upgrade to a 300, if nothing else. [04:46] DaemonicApathy, that'd be nice. [04:46] If I had money [04:46] could it be it is set up as ext4? although I am not so sure it was formatted that way [04:47] but as I has no job. I have to make due with what I have [04:47] At the time of formatting, is that when you determine what filesystem, or somewhere else? [04:47] OliviaF: Fair enough. They only go for 40 or 50 dollars, but sometimes even that's outside the budget [04:47] 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] Indeed. [04:47] It's not even a year old [04:47] It's why I had to reinstall windows, cause my old one died [04:47] bjrohan: yes you have to chose the format for it to format haha [04:47] * DaemonicApathy doesn't go with anything Belkin anymore. [04:48] ok [04:48] I thought when I did it I chose just 83 [04:48] whatever that is [04:48] I just want to FINALLY use Ubuntu. Instead of having it just sit unused [04:48] bjrohan : check this out maybe itll help seems someone had success with this method http://askubuntu.com/questions/150813/problem-mounting-external-usb-drive-in-ubuntu-12-04 === scouts is now known as sugardue [04:49] hi [04:49] belkin and ralink cards always give me trouble [04:49] i have a nice alfa upstairs love it [04:49] anyone have a clue about the dual monitor issue? [04:50] Xtremeasure, my old belkin card never gave me trouble. [04:50] olivia what was your problem im sorry i didnt get to read it and am to lazy to scroll [04:50] im on a roll tonight [04:50] so lets see [04:51] "Everytime I sign into Ubuntu I get "Disconnected" and it won't let me find any wireless signals, I'm using a Belking N150 I think, is there anyway to fix this so I can actually use it?" [04:51] ok gimme a few here [04:51] kay [04:51] Stray thought, OliviaF: is your wireless adapter enabled? [04:52] Xtremeasure: thanks will give it a go [04:52] DaemonicApathy, it should be [04:52] lol [04:52] It still blinks in ubuntu [04:52] maam did you turn the device on [04:52] hahaha [04:52] hahahah [04:52] Anyone know how to un mirror my dual monitors? When I go to display settings, there's no way to change it. [04:53] lol olivia i think i found a thread with a fix for your problem [04:53] 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] *up [04:53] ah [04:53] olivia do me a favor and pastebin me the out put to lsusb [04:54] Sure, I'l be back after I do that [04:54] stylinmylen: Is it recognizing both displays, in the settings > Displays section? [04:54] is anywhere here on freenode where i can get help whit cinnamon desktop ? [04:54] thank you for responding! yes it is. [04:55] Don_Rad: the mint channel [04:55] stylinmylen: and the dropdown menu only has the mirror option when you click on it? [04:55] !mint | Don_Rad [04:55] Don_Rad: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:56] Don_Rad: see man it has its drawbacks =P [04:57] 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] ok Xtremeasure thanks :) [04:57] there's no mirror box to check/uncheck or anything besides that [04:58] Give me a few, stylinmylen. I'll brb, but I haven't forgotten about you. ;-) [04:58] are there any #ubuntu-* channels that specialize in knowledge of update-manager? [04:58] ok. thanks. ps. how do i reply with your name? just type your name? [04:58] what do you need to know emdub [04:59] thats what i do style [04:59] 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] ok. thanks xtremeasure [04:59] it's a lot of python and i'm not sure how the mirror files interact [05:00] ugg, I'm back to windows, something happened to ubuntu, I'm not a programmer so I can't fix it [05:01] 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] stylinmylen: To the right of the On/Off switch, you have no checkbox? And are you on 12.04 or 12.10? [05:02] hi [05:03] oh oops I was reading that article before I realized it wasn't for me doh [05:03] DaemonicApathy: No check box to the right, not sure how i can check version. I'm still quite novice in ubuntu. [05:04] stylinmylen: what graphics chipset are you using [05:04] ati, nvidia, intel >? [05:04] 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 [05:05] stylinmylen: In a Terminal, you can enter "lsb_release -a" [05:05] 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 :) [05:06] Daemonic: 12.04 [05:06] anyway, i can keep banging at it, i just figured i would see if there was anyone who had messed with this around [05:07] 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] xtremeasure: um. i'm actually not positive. I'm guessing ati [05:07] lspci should tell you what kind of video card you have, fyi [05:07] i believe thats where your problem lies to be sure run lspci [05:08] and post the out put in a paste bin and give us the link [05:08] xtremeasure: ati for sure [05:09] stylinmylen: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137251/dual-monitor-in-12-04-sort-of-works [05:09] try the steps listed there and get back to us [05:09] Did anyone get my pastebin link? [05:10] for what yohh === Yohh is now known as OliviaF [05:10] haha [05:10] stylinmylen: I don't know why the checkbox would be missing, but following Xtremeasure's link will probably help with the issues ATI can have. [05:11] http://pastebin.com/XvfrT9KD 'bout the Wireless issues [05:11] daemonic i think i got it [05:11] hi all. i made i new fresh install of xubuntu 12.04 after i was dissapointed of unity/gnome3 and as i am running succesfully xubuntu on my notebook i decided to jump to the same on my desktop, but i realised that cannot hundle my nvidia cardas ubuntu could. i read many complains in ubuntu forums about the "cooperation" of xubuntu 12.04 and nvidia but practically i saw no serious solution. does anyone have any advise or help or idea? [05:13] how can i get to amd catalyst control center from ubuntu? apologies if this sounds stupid. [05:13] ok olivia are you on a 64bit system ? [05:13] Indeed I am. [05:13] if I have a zfs question, but am running ubuntu, is this the [ ] right [ ] wrong place? [05:14] if it's a simple question i know a thing or two about zfs [05:14] ok olivia have you used ndiswrapper with that card? [05:15] Nope [05:15] 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] and your saying it sees wireless networks >/? [05:16] Xtremeasure, it doesn't [05:16] scrub is for iterating through a pool a correcting any errors it finds [05:16] If it showed wireless networks, I wouldn't be here lol [05:16] oh man olivia i believe i have your fix [05:16] what do you mean your zfs data is gone.. your pool is gone? [05:16] Oh? [05:16] but your gonna need some help lol [05:16] Ah. [05:16] DamonicApathy you around? [05:17] emdub: it's hard to describe. if I look in the pool folder, it's empty. however, doing a 'sudo zfs list' shows the right usage statistics... just no files? [05:17] ok we are going to have to use ndiswrapper to wrap the driver then go through a few steps === mikestewart is now known as MediaDoneRight [05:17] success rates are low on this [05:17] emdub: http://my.di.af/0f5b84.png [05:18] Really? that's...reassuring [05:18] but im going to warn you olivia as far as i can tell its only worked for one other person on a 64bit system [05:18] Well, if it's only worked one other time I'd rather not risk it [05:18] or you could just buy a wifi dongle that support linux, they are pretty cheap OliviaF [05:18] ^ [05:18] rublind: so you have a pool of a single disk? [05:18] Possibly, but I don't have really any money. [05:18] emdub: yeah, was going to start with one and then build up. [05:19] for educational purposes only>>> http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/ [05:19] emdub: http://my.di.af/b5a8f5.png [05:19] sec reading [05:19] ok well gimme a sec olivia ill try for yah [05:19] but no promises on this one im gonna link you the article [05:20] Sure [05:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2004409 [05:21] be right back olivia [05:21] rublind: ok i am looking at the second screenshot.. what should i be seeing? i see your Video pool mounted [05:21] kay [05:21] emdub: yeah, but there's no data, even though it says there is. [05:22] oh, i didnt catch the USED thing in zfs list [05:22] it shows 940GB used, but an ls shows diddly squat. [05:22] last time (this happened when I just started migrating), I did a mkdir and recreated the directories and the data was there. I'm afraid of doing that now though. [05:23] first time ive seen diddly squat used in a channel [05:23] lol [05:23] :p [05:24] OliviaF: iwconfig says what? [05:24] emdub: have you tried an fsck in liveCD? [05:24] rublind: yeah that seems strange... im not sure what would cause that :( [05:24] No clue. As I can't get internet, It'll take awhile. [05:24] emdub: yeah, me neither. I think my comptuer just hates me. you think the folks in #zfs would know/be helpful? (I'd hope so... but...) === ripps_ is now known as ripps [05:24] To sign on, do that, sign onto windows and get a paste [05:24] rublind: definitely [05:25] akis: If so, why not just install the XFCE desktop? run `sudo apt-get install xfce4` and you'll get XFCE installed. Then you can set it as your default window manager. [05:25] OliviaF: no way to use a LAN cable temporarily. the question is: are you already using any driver or are you using ndiswrapper? [05:25] rublind: maybe also the folks in #illumos, who do a lot of the non-linux zfs stuff these days, might have an idea, but im not sure if they would know much about zfs-on-linux specifically [05:25] I should be using a driving [05:25] driver [05:25] OliviaF: and you know how? [05:25] shes gping to have to wrap it [05:26] No. [05:26] emdub: thank you :] [05:26] no prob good luck! [05:26] Isn't using the ndiswrapper very low sucess rate for 64 bit? [05:26] better low success than no success [05:27] yes olivia im going to try to point you to a mirror for the inf [05:27] Ah [05:27] but i need to do some reading i havent had to use ndis in a lonnng time [05:27] ah. [05:27] if it works shell be the second person according to chili555 from the forums lol [05:28] in case anyone didn't know, emdub is deserving of all your monies. just sayin'. [05:28] kpullen: you mean to install ubuntu 12.04 and instead to run one of the option given (gnome classic/unity/gnome 3) to install above xfce desktop? i know that solution but i am considering about because i read that it has some issues (eg fonts) and also i dont how can i change my login screen from ubuntu's to a xubuntu like. do you know anything about? [05:29] hi gud mrng ) [05:29] good sasuke [05:30] blackshirt, can i install spotlight (which is in mac) in ubuntu [05:30] akis: you would use a differetn displaymanager: the one from xubuntu: lightdm instead of gdm from ubuntu [05:31] sasuke: no [05:32] wols: yea ok. but how? could you please provide me the procedure (eg a link to explain the procedure)? [05:32] akis: a procedure to install a package and uninstall another? [05:33] is there any hope on the near horizon for a working ati radeon 4670 ++ ubuntu 12.10/xserver configuration? [05:33] toonzies: it works === Jimster480-Lapto is now known as Jimster480-L [05:33] toonzies: you must not use fglrx however [05:33] wols: is that simple? and how can i choose it as default? [05:34] 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] yes. cause you used fglrx [05:35] so i should remove fglrx? [05:35] hola [05:35] so the new Ubuntu doesnt work with fglrx? [05:35] is that what you are saying there wols_ [05:35] toonzies: only if you want unity to work and have a decent resolution [05:35] Jimster480-L: no I don't. [05:35] heh that is what i want... plus I'd like to use my other monitor === themhz is now known as themhz_away [05:36] wols_: that doesnt really answer my question? "no i dont"?? [05:36] Jimster480-L: it does [05:36] wols_: ill give that a go and report back =) [05:37] Jimster480-L: maybe you should learn to ask proper questions, ie ask what you actually want to know [05:38] 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. [05:39] Jimster480-L: ok. The new Ubuntu works with fglrx just fine. better? I clearly aswerered the question you asked [05:40] wols_: So then if it does, why were you telling that person to uninstall it? [05:40] lol she quit on meh [05:40] i have a video card that is poorly supported by the manufacturer [05:40] cause in his case it won't work anymore [05:40] oh nvm shes back [05:40] toonzies: well, if you have a agp card doesn't help of course [05:40] what is desktop.ini used for [05:41] Jimster480-L: amd stopped radeon hd 4xxx support in fglrx [05:41] 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] What are you serious? Thats what I have in this laptop T.T [05:42] just use radeon [05:42] Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. what will replace it ?

[05:42] what will chrome for linux do? [05:43] which is incrediblly stupid. As HTML5 is a ways off from becoming mainstream. [05:43] some things can't be done with html5. at least not yet [05:43] wols_: like anoying webmages made 100% with flash ;) [05:43] what will play video streams tho, from places like youtube? [05:44] youtube already does a lot of HTML5 [05:44] youtube does html5 video for years now. youtube will be fine without flash [05:44] 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 [05:45] what's the difference in rlogin and ssh [05:45] b/c im pentesting metasploitable 2 and by using rlogin i get a terminal w/o having to authenticate [05:45] wols_ : depends it will tell you to update your flash through chromium and firefox [05:46] Xtremeasure: firefox has no inbuilt flash so it fully depends on the adobe plugin that won't exist anymore [05:47] as far as I heard chrome wont be getting flash updates anymore either. [05:47] wols_: if you read, yes html5 is the slim lined players but anything that runs an add on the video will not work [05:48] it needs flash to run videos with adds [05:48] Jimster480-L: yes, it is [05:48] wols_: no one said flash will no longer exist, just that is stoped development for linux [05:48] and it isnt supported by default you have to opt for it [05:48] wols_: it still has some secutiry updates, i recieve one last week [05:49] if you guys would like to try out the html5 youtube heres the link [05:49] http://www.youtube.com/html5 [05:51] Xtremeasure: or try minitube :), doesn't even need a web browser [05:51] what will happen if i change my dynamic ip? [05:52] Xtremeasure: or use chrome, with its own flash built in, works well [05:53] 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] Xtremeasure: maybe, but html5 doesn't work if you want flash games online [05:53] riqdiiz: on what device is the IP set? [05:54] 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 Flash games? do people still play those? [05:54] [deXter]: loads here [05:54] <[deXter]> O.o [05:54] Ubuntu 9.04 pc [05:54] [deXter]: and all the farmville etc folks play on facebook [05:54] 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] riqdiiz: Jaunty isn't supported anymore === [NM]entropyX is now known as [NM]entropy [05:56] it's the only linux os around though [05:56] riqdiiz: how do you mean? [05:56] 12.10 was just released lol [05:56] 0.o [05:57] when formating a USB drive in gparted, is it wise to use the default msdos table (vs amiga, bsd, loop etc) [05:57] where i come from very remote :) [05:57] riqdiiz: its still EOL [05:57] riqdiiz: its like calling Microsoft tech support for WIndows 98 support. It's dead [05:57] bjrohan i use the default msdos tables [05:58] ok, then since ext4 seems to have not worked, use ext2 filesystem? [05:58] but then again im not trying to mount for the same reasons you are [05:58] what are you trying to do with the hardrive [05:58] simply use the 1TB drive as a backup / storage, nothing more [05:59] and it doesnt auto mount them on plug in ? [05:59] im assuming they are external [05:59] ok do me a favour to send me a copy of the latest release? [05:59] 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 [06:00] riqdiiz: do you not have a neighbour who can sort you out? [06:00] hi all [06:00] riqdiiz: Can you not download it? [06:00] see my usb externals auto mount by themselves no changes needed bjrohan [06:00] ive never had to add them to my fstab [06:00] hello, I am trying to install a smartcard ,I get this message ,ln: failed to create symbolic link «/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so»: File exists [06:01] and i run a 1tb internal and a 1tb back end external [06:01] both formated and setup with gparted [06:01] 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] ah i see what your trying to do [06:02] you want one logical location for the drives [06:02] it's impossible you ll have to sell your family to download it here :) [06:02] im sorry, can you give me one more time the irc network of linuxmint support ? [06:02] !mint [06:02] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:02] riqdiiz: you can buy the disks on ebay for not much [06:02] Xtremeasure: will partitioning the drive automatically format it? [06:02] ktil: install the smartcard how? [06:02] bjrohan depends [06:03] did you rebuild the partition table on the hd? [06:04] 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] go ext 4 and yes [06:04] it will partition [06:04] but only after you apply the changes [06:04] ext4 seemed to not work last time [06:04] ok [06:05] well if it doesnt work again we can go ext 2 [06:05] what do you have entered into fstab === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [06:06] Trying to make my nvidia card work -- glxgears doesn't run, what should i do? [06:06] Xtremeasure: ext4, but fstab is easy to adjust [06:06] Xtremeasure: why ext4 over ext2? [06:06] sywisy: did you install the nvidia-current package? [06:06] ok bj im going to send you a link [06:06] ok [06:06] bjrohan: journals are handy [06:06] sywisy: you should tell us what you actually did to make it work [06:06] because ext4 has better file transfer support [06:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1635576 [06:06] ok [06:07] in ubuntu 12.04, I follow the instrucktion from producer, sudo apt-get install pcsc-tools libpcsclite-dev pcscd libccid, then sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so [06:07] check that out bjrohan [06:07] wols_: I just installed the latest propetary drivers from ubuntu [06:07] ActionParsnip: no, i guess i should do that then? [06:07] thats a complete guide [06:07] sywisy: it will install the proprietary video driver for you [06:07] Xtremeasure: the nfs-config :-) [06:08] ktil: does /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 file exist? [06:08] ntfs config [06:08] ktil: the don't create the symlink [06:08] 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 [06:09] wols_ yes the file exist [06:09] your doing the same thing but instead of ntfs your mounting an ext4 drive [06:10] ActionParsnip: how do I configure which video driver i am using? [06:10] ActionParsnip: i installed nvidia-current, how do i make it be used? [06:11] sywisy: installing it should have created a xorg.conf which specifies the driver [06:11] djrohan your entry into fstab should look something like this UUID=482ACC132ACBFC46 /dev/sda1 ext4 defaults,locale=en_IN 0 0 [06:12] just follow the first half of that guide and build the entry then manually enter it without using the ntfs tool [06:12] sywisy: reboot [06:14] wols_: where is this? When I run 'dpkg -L nvidia-current | grep xorg', I don't see any xorg.conf [06:14] sywisy: it's a created file which means it can't show up there [06:14] sywisy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:20] wols_, my org.conf just says the driver is 'nvidia', how is this to help me determine which driver is being used? [06:21] 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] Hello [06:22] Can anybody here help me with a small problem installing 12.10? [06:22] 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 [06:23] whats the problem danman1453 [06:23] sywisy: it tells you it uses the nvidia driver, cause that's its name [06:23] The bottom portion of my screen is cut off. [06:23] wols_, i have lots of nvidia drivers, so it doesn't tell me anything :/ [06:23] how so ? [06:23] 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 === fred_ is now known as Guest35280 [06:24] wols_, how do i see what the name maps to? [06:24] sywisy: no you don't [06:24] sywisy: there is only one nvidia driver [06:24] I have been stumblinghrough the install using tab and enter [06:24] 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] you'd need to hex dump /proc/.../cmdline to be sure [06:24] wols_, there's nvidia driver by nvidia but also by 3rd parties, and different versions === atrius is now known as atrius_away [06:24] I cant see any of the buttons on the bottom of the dialogs [06:25] Random832: thanks, i will try that [06:25] sywisy: you can have only one. not several. and if you did install many, you broke it [06:25] I cant adjust the resolution. [06:25] though since i need to reboot to do that, any other ideas what might be the problem? [06:26] if your doing it during setup youd have to add a boot tage [06:26] tag** [06:26] anyway, the first time i booted into 12.10 it complained it couldn't mount /tmp [06:26] went away the next boot [06:26] before you boot to the install cd [06:26] wols_, yeah, so how does it work? how do i tell which of installed drivers is being used [06:26] sywisy: the single one you installed. how often do I have to tell you: you cannot have several installed. CAN NOT [06:26] How would i halt the setup booting to add the tag? [06:27] wols_, ok, well i had a driver before, and i just installed a new one [06:27] and no idea and i have to go to bed, sorry [06:27] wols_, are you saying this auto-uninstalled the other driver? [06:27] sywisy: which means you overwrote the old one [06:27] depends how you installed it. did you install it via ubuntu packages from ubuntu repos or did you use nvidia.com drivers? [06:27] during the splash screen when your booting to the dvd / usb it gives you options to tag the boot with [06:27] wols_, what is the default location for nvidia driver? [06:27] you can cycle through them with f keys [06:28] wols_, /usr/lib32/nvidia-current? [06:28] sywisy: answer my question [06:28] I will restart and try and grab it at the splash screen. [06:28] wols_, my bad, from apt-get [06:29] sywisy: and your actual problem is what? [06:29] What might the tag(s) be? [06:29] wols_, glxgears doesn't run [06:29] 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] wols_, i.e. my 3d video performance is bad [06:29] sywisy: check your Xorg.0.log which driver is used exactly [06:30] wols_ couldnt her just run lshw -C Display [06:30] it should list his used devices and the driver assigned [06:31] the log has the advantage of showing all errors that might have occured too :) [06:31] Ok... got to the splash menu [06:31] Random832: thanks [06:31] ah i see [06:31] yeah i think i originally had this issue when i first set it up on like 11.10 or something [06:31] nvm then dont mean to step in was just asking to learn more myself ;) [06:31] and I don't know: does lshw show the version of the driver too? [06:31] and then it went away [06:31] wols_, how do i find Xorg.0.log? it's not in /etc/X11 [06:31] Xtremeasure: and does it show what X uses or what the kernel has for drivers? [06:32] sywisy: it's a log and is therefore in /var/log [06:32] hi room [06:32] Xtreme.... what tag were you referring to? [06:32] wols_: no itll just list the driver listed for the displays attached [06:32] capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom [06:32] configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 [06:32] thats mine [06:33] Hey #ubuntu I've got an easy one [06:33] i mean it gives more info but nothing more relevant to the situation [06:33] ??? [06:33] For some reason my screen locked but the screen is totally black [06:33] gimme a sec danman [06:33] I see a cursor but typing doesn't do anything [06:33] Ok [06:33] and I can't enter my password to log back in [06:33] is there any way to log back in without killing gnome-session? [06:34] itsrachelfish, did this happen when you opened a laptop lid? [06:34] Yes [06:34] Right now I went to tty1 and I'm using irssi [06:34] Xtremeasure: it tells me (at least for some devices) the kernel driver version: configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k driverversion=3.2.0-1-686-pae firmware=N/A ip=192.168.2.102 latency=168 link=yes for my WLAN [06:34] wols_, it says 'NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs', is this the driver? [06:34] If I go back to tty7 it's a black screen [06:34] Side note.... irc on a 7in android sux [06:34] with a mouse [06:34] I also tried to kill gnome-screensaver [06:35] sywisy: it's the driver name yes [06:35] itsrachelfish: I believe I solved it with "sudo restart lightdm", but that results in everything closing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/966744 [06:35] Launchpad bug 966744 in Linux "[i965] Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended.

[06:38] run that through [06:38] Ok [06:38] see if it fixes your issue [06:39] thank you wols_ [06:39] been a long day and im starting to run on empty hahah [06:39] Trying it now [06:39] I appreciate the help so far. [06:39] np that what the irc is here for [06:40] Its 240am here. [06:40] same here [06:40] which is why im running on empty haha [06:40] 1:40am here [06:40] Mtn dew and e cigarette. [06:41] Xtremeasure: re danman1453 - wouldn't it poss to right click & hold to move the dialogues up to expose buttons? [06:41] Doesnt work. Tried that. The dialogs extend past the bottom of thescreen. [06:41] that sounds good dan [06:42] yeah from what he said super he was missing a good portion of his screen [06:42] ouch [06:43] I got the the username screen without ever seeing the buttons. Stalled there though. [06:44] haha [06:44] damn dude you made it through the whole install without the bottom half of your screen ? [06:45] you are a better man than myself [06:45] Im relatively proficient wit computers.... i just dont know enough about ubuntu. And im tired. [06:46] ;) [06:47] 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 -updates repo is activated, and update the graphics drivers if possible. There have been several fixes included recently. [06:47] Xtremeasure ubuntu at all have touchscreen support? i mean from 11.10 versions and up? [06:47] 12.10 does i believe [06:47] not 100 sure though [06:48] Compiz has supported touchscreens for awhile now. [06:48] And Unity is practically begging users to have them. [06:48] Xtremeasure: Ubuntu has had touchscreen support for years, that doesn't neccessarily mean that your particular hardware will be supported though. [06:48] hi how to hide your ip from showing up in xchat in ubuntu 12.04? [06:49] !cloak | learner [06:49] 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. [06:50] 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] Or use a proxy. [06:50] pick a proxy at spys.ru [06:50] what is a cloak? [06:51] a cloak is how you hide your IP, which is what you asked [06:51] Xtremeasure im planning to make an project for a restaurant with ubuntu cpu and a touchscreen with a software called quickorder [06:51] so just follow the steps and say thank you [06:51] crimsonmane, jordan ubottu thanks [06:51] but we are just on talkings about costs and usability [06:52] anybody know why my /var/log/syslog is showing a bunch of dns errors about RFC 1918 response from the internet? [06:52] Hello, how do I install the AMD Proprietary Driver on Ubuntu 12.10? [06:52] Don_rad i wouldnt say its impossible just have to make sure you hardware is supported as was said earlier [06:52] Is quickorder compatible with ubuntu? [06:52] DaemonicApathy is compatible with ubuntu/win/macos [06:53] Xtreme... no change. [06:53] are my bind settings wrong? i just installed it out of the box with apt-get install bind [06:53] hmm [06:53] Don_Rad: Excellent. Just be sure to give it a thorough test run, and you'll probably be fine. [06:54] http://askubuntu.com/questions/144330/how-do-i-fix-this-half-screen-problem [06:54] check that article danman [06:54] How do I set up remote login in ubuntu? I already installed openssh, but I dont know what to do after that. any help? [06:55] Are there any issues backing up a computer with ext2 to a usb hard drive that is ext4? [06:55] still didnt work bjrohan ? [06:56] I am running badblocks on it now, should take 70 hours+ I understand [06:56] is there a way to remove bind and reinstall it easly? [06:56] sudo apt-get purge bind && sudo apt-get install bind [06:56] ^ [06:56] all one line [06:56] beat me to it [06:56] 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] :) [06:57] im hoping that does it [06:57] i think my bind configs are wrong [06:57] Nope, fresh drive [06:57] nah jordan hes trying to automount it through his fstab for back up purposes [06:57] 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. [06:58] 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 [06:59] after checking it was all kaput, no partition etc, even though before shutdown, I was navigating the rsync files on it [06:59] wow i must be tired. i did not mean [remove][bind] i meant [remove][purge] [06:59] <[deXter]> lol [06:59] Jordan_U I have since repartitioned te drive ext4 again and it was suggested I run badblocks as a precaution [06:59] 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) [07:00] bjrohan: Have you checked the SMART data from the drive? [07:00] No luck xtreme [07:00] nothing in there helped you lol damn [07:00] TJ, the USB drive is plugged into the back, and is powered by a separate supply [07:00] i must be slipping dan [07:00] Jordan_U, what is the SMART data> === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [07:00] soooo, ubuntu 12.04 sees both of my DVD drives, but 12.10 only sees one [07:01] anyone have an idea on how to trouble shoot that? [07:01] bretolius: Check "/var/log/kern.log" and/or "/var/log/dmesg" for clues during device discovery. [07:02] ok [07:02] !smart | bjrohan [07:02] bjrohan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. [07:02] bjrohan: Seems our tame bot knows nothing about SMART [07:02] bjrohan: You can check a drive's SMART status via "Disk Utility" (palimpsest). [07:03] Ubottu is still a genius. [07:03] DaemonicApathy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:03] I stand corrected. [07:03] rofl [07:03] lol [07:03] damn he told you [07:03] sweet bot [07:03] I think i got it. [07:04] how still no luck [07:04] 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] 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] it looks like the reverse dns is hosed or something [07:04] shouldnt ubuntu bind9 install from apt-get as a caching dns server? [07:07] RayzrShrp: If the forwarders are configured correctly [07:07] bjrohan: Do you understand how to check your drive's SMART status and why it's important? [07:08] TJ-: those aren't configured out of the box? [07:08] RayzrShrp: How can they be? They are different per-connection! They come from the ISP. [07:09] I am looking into it. [07:09] RayzrShrp: If you haven't seen it already... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto [07:09] The drive is not on a lubuntu machine [07:09] TJ-: so is there a file in /etc/bind i need to add my isps dns servers into [07:09] looking at how to check it on lubuntu [07:10] RayzrShrp: If you want caching, why are you using bind? By default dnsmasq is installed to handle that. [07:10] TJ-: im not even sure lol maybe i dont even need bind on my ubuntu box === bbx is now known as Guest7111 [07:11] TJ-: i thought i could point all my computers and stuff at my house at the ubuntu as a local dns server [07:11] 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] TJ-: so i guess it would just be a forwarder then? [07:12] 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 [07:13] TJ-: well poop, so if i remove bind9 is dnsmasq going to be broken? [07:13] Jordan_U my laptop is running Kubuntu, do you know how to check the Smart info in Kubuntu or Lubuntu? [07:13] RayzrShrp: no [07:13] bjrohan: smartctl -a /dev/sda [07:13] TJ-: one thing is im cli into ubuntu, not using gnome [07:13] 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 [07:15] 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] Xtreme... nvm got past the last screen.

[07:16] 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] wols_ command not found :-( on Kubuntu [07:16] TJ-: alright i removed bind9 but now i cant ping hostnames [07:16] L3top: just thought that I should let you know, so that other people don't waste their time installing them [07:16] bjrohan: sudo apt-get install smartmontools === aaron is now known as Guest81513 === Guest81513 is now known as charleyfoxtrot [07:17] RayzrShrp: You may need to do an ifdown/ifup to have it take over. If that doesn't do it try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install dnsmasq" [07:18] Hi! Yesterday I upgraded to 12.10. I installed nvidia proprietary drivers manually. It was working. Today my compiz crashes and the system is not usable. Any hints? [07:18] sudo apt-get --reinstall install dnsmasq [07:18] cheshair, manually from the nvidia site? [07:19] bazhang: I used a script, which yes, eventually download the file directly from nvidia site [07:19] cheshair, what script where from [07:20] cheshair: have you applied all the latest ubuntu updates? [07:20] bazhang: i found the script here: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-driver-30460-in-ubuntu.html [07:20] Jordan_U I installed the smartmontools, ran the smartctlr command (copy and paste what you wrote, changed to correct device) and still command not found [07:20] brb [07:20] danman1453: what was the fix suggested [I ended up on a netbook install doing right click & drag to show me the buttons a while back] [07:20] bjrohan: smartctl [07:20] bjrohan: and don't forget sudo [07:21] bjrohan: I accidentily typed an extra 'r' at the end of the command name :) [07:21] saurabh_: i didn't perform any update this morning, nice tip! I'll try immediately! [07:21] oh [07:21] bjrohan: sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb [07:21] it says OK [07:21] hrmm this open source ati radeon driver for my 4670 is less than to be desired [07:21] Jordan_U SMART Health Status: OK [07:22] toonzies: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTExMzU [07:22] saurabh_ bazhang : weird thing this morning was that my old legacy nouveau driver was loaded at startup so I had to blacklist it in order for the nvidia proprietary one to be loaded [07:23] cheshair, getting a driver via script, and dropbox no less is not the correct way to install the driver [07:23] cheshair: which graphics card do you have? maybe the driver you installed is not compatible with your chipset [07:23] cheshair, install it from the ubuntu package manager. or contact the PPA maintainer of that script [07:24] can somebody help me with cinnamon extensions? i downloaded and placed in the rigth place but they don't load/execute <--- (on the #linuxmint-help channel they're such a dick .....)

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:24] bazhang: i absolutely agree... indeed i am very concerned about installing things from untrusted sources. anyway, at the end of the day i thought i had no other chances to have 12.10 working smoothly on my system [07:24] anak baru [07:25] wols_ gonna rollback i think [07:25] #ubuntu [07:25] dhyankdk !in [07:25] toonzies: rollback to what?

I plugged my notorious usb drive into the server computer, I think it is mounted, and now the activity light is on, and I am not doing anything :-( [07:27] cheshair: then probably your system didn't use the nvidia driver yesterday [07:28] wols_ at this point i just don't have confidence in letting my customers upgrade to 12.10 when they have ati radeon less than 5.x... most likely from my lack of knowlege [07:28] then do "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" [07:28] Why would it be running? [07:28] reboot, then reinstall video card drivers [07:28] im using the built-in gfx of my board which is GMA 3150. Do i need to install additional drivers for it, or the driver that were installed is Ok? [07:28] toonzies: you should never upgrade ubuntu in the first month of release (imho) [07:28] saurabh_: hm... i think it did, indeed, anyway i could be wrong [07:28] toonzies: unless you want to be a beta tester [07:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2070426 [07:28] hello everybody!

Or is it literally scaled and believes it's at the right res? [07:52] robertzaccour: which driver? and start running xrandr without any arguments, what res are availabe? [07:52] Guest89123: It is another operating system, and there is no "normal world class software" out there. Do you have another specific Ubuntu problem? [07:53] wols_, I changed back to the open source driver. I'm gonna install proprietary again then try the display control panel brb [07:53] Guest89123: stop that. if you want to run linux software, run ubuntu. if you want to run windows software, run windows [07:53] Guest89123, nothing ....

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] Pitel_IPEX: install openssh-server perhaps? [08:06] I changed the ownership in nautilus the first time but it didn't even take as root [08:06] superengineer, nautilus doesn't support acl,if you play with it [08:07] and i cant see some videos on my browser [08:07] mhart_, according to the later posts they downloaded the driver from the ati website it looks [08:07] like http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm [08:07] bjrohan: eg mine would shown xxx-yyy, I use xxx as the name:name [08:07] wols_ i just think i can no longer refer my customers to ati/amd [08:08] 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] when 12.10 go stable? [08:08] any hotmail channel ?? [08:08] robertzaccour: something like http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx maybe? [08:08] toonzies: if you think that then you need to say the same about nvidia or any proprietary drivers [08:09] wols_ what is my best recommendation for ubuntu/nux then? [08:09] SuperEngineer: in Nautlius it shows me as the owner, group is root Owner, group and othrs can all create and delete files [08:09] i need constant support outside of... winblows [08:09] toonzies: libre videodrivers [08:10] alienaut: It is stable already. However, there may be bugs unfixed of course [08:10] alienaut: Did you not clean install? [08:10] anyone having issues with dns on wireless (with dnsmasq) on Quantal? [08:11] bjrohan: use [for name:name] whatever is shown as "me"] [08:11] wols_ looks like an nVidia solution? [08:11] 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] i formated it and installed via usb stick [08:11] mhart_: state your actual problem [08:11] SuperEngineer: what is name:name [08:11] toonzies: how do you come to this conclusion? [08:11] Pitel_IPEX: ah, sorry, then I misunderstood your question [08:11] SuperEngineer: like user@host? [08:11] bjrohan: your username [08:11] so I am owner and group [08:12] mhart_, ok thanks, now just gotta get it to install. hope it goes well [08:12] wols_ from the link you have given "Nouveau: Accelerated Open Source driver for nVidia cards" [08:12] 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. [08:13] bjrohan: in the example sudo su -c 'chown -R name:name /media/disk-2' [08:13] 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] bjrohan: that is the name:name bit [08:13] In nautlius I can change owner group and all settings till the cows come home [08:13] Is there anything 12.10 brings to the table that's super-duper got to have (and not in the LTS?) [08:13] bjrohan: is it a windows/FAT volume? [08:14] toonzies: so is radeon [08:14] SuperEngineer: I do NOT understand where to put my brohan:brohan stuff, brohan is my username on that machine [08:14] mhart_ ext4 [08:14] toonzies: and which link did I give you? [08:14] mhart_, I clicked to install, now loading very slowly. I think I might go to sleep and check on it later. [08:14] bjrohan: instead of name:name [08:14] robertzaccour: good luck [08:14] wols_ "http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/" [08:14] WHERE DOES NAME:NAME go?? [08:14] mhart_, Its stuck in the loading thing in text editor [08:15] please stop using name:name it means nothing to me at this point as a noob [08:15] robertzaccour: are you behind a proxy? [08:15] toonzies: where did I give you this link. my log can't find it [08:15] wols_ your help is unimagineably appreciated [08:15] mhart_, I dunno, don't think so. Its slowly loading [08:15] so I change it to brohan:brohan, now what? [08:15] robertzaccour: ah, ok. [08:15] bjrohan: in the example sudo su -c 'chown -R brohan:brohan /media/themountnameofdiskorpartition' [08:15] wols_ its all good... there is a flood of questions [08:15] bjrohan: then you press enter so the command gets executed [08:15] mhart_, I didn't know it loads in text editor [08:16] bjrohan: the ' marks are part of the command [08:16] robertzaccour: I'm not familiar with the install process, sorry. [08:16] 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] mhart_, oh its ok. worst case scenerio I'm stuck with the slower open source drivers but not a big deal [08:17] wols_ im serious... you are the only one im filtering out from all this. I NEED your help [08:17] SuperEngineer: thank you. what does su -c do? [08:17] wols_ no "sarcasm" intended [08:17] mhart_: are you actually using dnsmasq? is it installed? dpkg -l dnsmasq [08:18] wols_: yes, dnsmasq-base is installed just as it was pre-upgrade from precise to quantal [08:18] 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] dnsmasq was installed by default [08:18] bjrohan: that escaltes [for the one command only] the user [you] to the correct level to perform the command [08:18] 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] SuperEngineer: okay. In nautilus as ROOT I can access the drive, as a mere user NOGO. it didn't work :-( [08:19] ? [08:19] bjrohan: is the drive still mounted? [08:19] 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] bjrohan: *please* do not use things like su without direct knowledge of it & it's consequences though [08:19] mhart_: what I don't get is why DBUS would care about dnsmasq [08:19] I unmouted it, did the CHOWN, then remounted it via sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/BACKUP [08:20] wols_ so what is the proper method if i just did a default upgrade (whilst using an ati radeon 4670 catalyst) setup? [08:20] wols_: I unmouted it, did the CHOWN, then remounted it via sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/BACKUP [08:20] bjrohan: and the permissions of the mount point are what now? [08:20] 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] wols_: the same as befoe: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 19 23:12 /media/BACKUP [08:20] 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 [08:21] 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] bjrohan: chown it while it's mounted. unmount, make sure it still has brohan:brohan as owner, then remount [08:21] wols_: In nautlius I show owner and group as owenr [08:21] wols_: because of this I guess it needs to tell dnsmasq what to do when a new connection appears [08:22] wols_: I need to be owner and group correct? [08:22] SuperEngineer: why sudo su -c rather than just sudo -c ? [08:22] 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] bjrohan: pretty much,yes [08:22] wols_ so how do I "fix" this after the fact of selecting defaults in the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10? [08:22] toonzies: as I told you before. by uninstalling fglrx [08:22] wols_: I understand that, that's kinda why I'm asking my question I guess... what's changed? :) [08:23] wols_: besides, dbus isn't quite just "desktop mumbo-jumbo", it's just a simple messaging bus I thought? [08:23] mhart_: yes, for desktop mumbo jumbo :P [08:24] toonzies: if you need fglrx (radeon and nouveau are slower than proprietary drivers) you could hunt for that fglrx legacy thing somewhere [08:24] 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. [08:25] 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] wols_: thanks for your attention though, guess I'm gonna have to dig some more :( [08:25] 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] *research [08:26] SuperEngineer: I guess a long time ago, sudo didn't support the option maybe? [08:26] 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] now - not [08:26] mhart_: maybe [08:27] <^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? [08:28] mhart_, Its almost 1/4 of the way on the progress bar haha. going to sleep, gonna check it out later. [08:28] ^Lem^: there should be global menu integration in 12.10... prior to 12.10 you had to use a plugin [08:29] <^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] 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. [08:30] toonzies: that's what you get for AMD [08:30] Calinou lol right!? [08:30] Calinou so disappointed [08:31] nvidia 36-0 amd [08:31] lol [08:31] counting since december 2011 when looking on IRC... [08:31] when there's GPU fights [08:31] well now my customers will not have a choice [08:32] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> how can i extract a tcl.gz file ?

[08:36] erf: this is #ubuntu and ubuntu support ONLY. check ##linux or #centos [08:36] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> it says cmd not found [08:36] alright [08:36] so ... if we had to vote: which is the easiest/most supported video card hardware for ubuntu/xserver?

I've just installed 12.04 on my mum's laptop, and think she might benefit from a video showing her the basics of the dash/launcher etc. [08:38] aeplus i [08:39] toonzies: likely something non-performant like intel. [08:39] aeplus i'd just consider it the most flexible/supported === jonathan__ is now known as johnraz [08:39] jatoo, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/index.html [08:39] jatoo, no video though. it's included with ubuntu itself too.. [08:39] !manual | jatoo [08:39] jatoo: 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/ [08:40] jatoo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LQ2oiyRZdw this might be what you're looking for [08:41] does ubuntu have badblocks command? [08:44] is there a way to display the changed files in ubuntu compared to the package originals with dpkg or similar? [08:45] we shall talk to more owe... (lol) .... must sleep noa. thank y'all [08:45] gn y'all [08:45] mhart_: debsums I guess [08:46] is badblocks command able to fix bad sectors or is it just for detecting bad sectors? [08:46] kotiki: of course it does [08:46] wols_: thanks [08:46] just detecting. I wouldn't use badblocks but smartctl [08:47] wols_: could you tell me what flags would I need to fix bad sectors? [08:47] kotiki: smartctl long test. it reallocates those sectors then [08:47] if the disk has more bad sectors than it can reallocate, I strongly suggest a new disk [08:49] Anyone know why Nautilus 3.4.2 shows all filenames highlighted in grey and the other columns in the more acceptable white background? [08:49] probably to show that it sorts by filename [08:50] wols_: It is disconcerting though... as the selected file looks very different to the normal files. [08:51] Wow hat goes of ubuntu and 12.04 and 12.10. What are the bugs with Unity at this point? === Jimster480-Lapto is now known as Jimster480-L [08:51] is it possible to roll back from 12.10, back to 12.04 [08:52] brady: betas are not a good idea. :( [08:52] i hadn't realized it was a beta, an upgrade just popped up on my computer and i was like.. ok.. [08:52] openboxman: 12.10 is already released [08:53] brady: other than clean install, no [08:53] brady: no. downgrades are not supported with apt [08:53] that sucks.. the expereince has been , not so good. [08:53] xangua: ops srry haven't kept up with ubuntu in a long while. Use Arch Linux primarily [08:54] ive had alot of random errors ever since upgrading , and i just had a restart i was seriously concerned by [08:54] it jumped into some kind of prompt [08:55] after having failed to boot a few times [08:55] Must say Unity and Dash have come a long way. Not a real fan of commericial products or apps being so frequently added to linux [08:56] Anyone run benchmarks and is graphics use intense.. Running a live version of 12.04 now????? [08:56] i wonder when they will do upgrades to the upgrade [08:57] Hello Could anyone tell me how many packages are available in ubuntu software repository ? Is there any site where is that written ? [08:58] klys4: search the software repository using apt-get [08:59] klys4: apt-cache stats [08:59] shows you how many packages are listed for whatever repos you have in your sources.list [08:59] (and other information too) === viv`d is now known as vivid [09:00] But is there any statistics in any website ? [09:00] klys4: use this link for apt-get commands. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta [09:01] klys4: usually most great software for linux is through word of mouth and expermenting [09:03] klys4: in Arch LInux I have Conky setup for RSS Feeds to new release software. [09:04] ok thank you all [09:05] klys4: I have lots of RSS Feeds. You can also use google for RSS Feeds if you prefer to link with cell phone useage [09:06] 有中国到朋友吗 [09:06] 中国的朋友吗 [09:07] 有！！ [09:08] Given a particular process, how can I find memory usage? [09:08] layke__: top for example [09:08] It doesn't pop up by default in top. I guess there is an option to filter by pid. [09:08] I'll check anyway [09:09] ps works toome [09:09] -me [09:09] crizis, xangua: thanks! [09:09] Okay thanks. I was only trying ef and axms as the man said. Didn't see -me [09:10] layke__: "-me" was a grammatical correction, not a ps option. [09:10] anyone here use openbox? [09:10] obtrusivemouse: Why? [09:10] bekks, lol yeah. I just realised after I tried it :) [09:10] actually screw it, what command do you say to open up the network manager [09:11] bekks, openbox tweaking, need someone who is experienced [09:11] hi , i downloaded vmware-workstation, the file is like vmware-work...*.txt. can anyone tell me how can i install it on ubuntu [09:12] Hi, I have recently bought a Sony Bravia 32" LCD TV, it has a flash port which allows me to play movies however it's not reading my flash and I'm not sure what format to use in Ubuntu to get it working any help? [09:12] Maya/Cinnamon - My Wireless connection is appearing as eth2 instead of wlan0. Any idea. [09:13] BlueWolf: Thats mentioned in the manual of the TV. === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [09:13] BlueWolf, fat16 === scouts is now known as guy === guy is now known as Guest26356 [09:14] bekks: Thing is I was use about 5 times by someone else and they sold it to me for a Bergen. I did not get the box or the manual. [09:15] BlueWolf: you might need to put them in AVI/MPEG format [09:15] BlueWolf: And you are unable to get the manual for your TV from the website of Sony? :) [09:15] yea lol u could dl it [09:16] 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] BlueWolf: More or less your TV might just not be able to decode those files. [09:16] can anyone recommend the powr of getwifi? [09:17] BlueWolf: .mkv would be a bigger wonder, to be honest. [09:17] [09:17] bekks: exactly [09:18] BlueWolf: Then why are you suspecting your flash card when your TV isnt even able to recognize those formats? [09:18] k well i mean [09:18] almost nothing plays mkv [09:18] that isnt a computer atleast. [09:18] So if you want to play mkv files i suggest you get a android TV or build a HTPC. [09:19] 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] you would need to amke sure its in like Mpeg 2 or something like that i bet. [09:19] Better yet what is the model of your TV? [09:19] 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 [09:20] 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] BlueWolf: Then did you read the manual of your TV now to get to know which SD formats are expected? [09:21] Jimster480-L: Dont use .jpg2k ;) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:22] Any ideas on how to install Ubuntu on my Mac mini 2011? I've tested before but wifi/bluetooth don't work? [09:22] hello , i downloaded vmware-workstation, the file is like vmware-work...*.txt. can anyone tell me how can i install it on ubuntu [09:22] sasuke: Why dont you just use virtualbox? [09:22] lol he could use jpg bekks [09:22] And a text-file cannot be installed. [09:23] and sasuke: Virtualbox is probably better on linux. I wasnt even aware that there was a vmware workstation for linux. I've only ever used it on Windows. [09:23] bekks: No as I said I assumed it was an Ubuntu problem with the format I used as it was not reading, strangely neither was the windows format. I will check the manual next [09:24] hello [09:25] Jimster480-L: I use vmware on ubuntu.... it has far better opengl support ;) [09:25] Hi! I have a gt520 nvidia card and can't get it working with my ubuntu 12.10, any help? Nouveau drivers tell me "error initializing acceleration" so that my compiz/unity won't start. Nvidia proprietary drivers are useless too (can't get them from x-swat repo) [09:25] bekks, Jimster480-L , I am learning through some CBT videos. Everything they are doing on vmware, so probably i want to use it . Once i done i'll try out on virtual box. anyway "sh vmware...*.txt" cmd is working. I am installing that. thanks :) [09:26] sasuke: Well, You CANNOT execute a TEXT file. [09:26] true bekks [09:28] Any ideas on how to install Ubuntu on my Mac mini 2011? I've tested before but wifi/bluetooth don't work? [09:28] Well, updating to 12.10 broke my sound. All I have is constant crackling even on Mute and the device-list in Sound Settings going crazy like it was resetting several times per second or something. [09:28] hey guys, im on xubuntu 12.10 - when i enable catalyst drivers xorg segfaults on boot - if i boot in recovery mode and tell it to boot normally - x kick in after a while - any idea how to move forward with this ? [09:28] bekks, i am not sure. i downloaded "https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=WKST-900-LX&productId=293&download=true&fileId=50028826&secureParam=4648a503eaac71f71cc4f2b69fa11269&downloadType=". as a txt file. i thought sh only executes *sh files, but "sh vmwar....*.txt" is working [09:28] What hardware does your mac mini have? do you know what kind of wireless it has? maybe it just needs an external wireless driver. [09:29] bekks, its working .... installation done [09:29] sasuke: sh executes executable files. a text file isnt executable. :) [09:29] sasuke: And personally, I'd really not use vmware on linux. [09:29] Ergo^: are you on fglrx? [09:29] bekks, :) [09:30] well sh executes anything actually. It just looks for the code inside. [09:30] .txt is just an extension, if you saved a executable as a .txt you could still run it with the right command. [09:30] jimerickson, yeah currently i am - i need to go to recovery and ask it to boot normally then it kicks in [09:31] Jimster480-L, ^ [09:31] well i think that there is a major issue with fglrx on the new ubuntu. [09:31] also http://paste2.org/p/2357940 [09:31] People have been coming into these channels since release with fglrx issues. [09:31] Jimster480-L, it seems so - when i boot from revoery catalyst DOES work [09:31] Jimster480-L, oh ok. [09:31] as im using it now - it just X dies using normal boot [09:32] but on a recovery version what is it using? the same exact fglrx? [09:33] Ergo^: I kinda doubt it uses fglrx then. how did you check? [09:33] tbh it might be an issue with the version of fglrx that they are shipping with the new release. [09:33] Ergo^: which amd videochip? [09:34] wols_, i dont doubt since glxinfo says im on opengl 4.2 :-) [09:34] atm [09:34] anyone know if someone is going ot work on something similar to ubuntu tweak?

[09:34] to be precise [09:35] Ergo^: when exactly does it crash? kernel time or X loading time? === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower [09:35] obtrusivemouse: im not familiar with ubuntutweak so idk [09:35] well he pasted a dump in here that lets you see when it crashes. [09:35] its just loading then segfault === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower [09:35] 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] Ergo^: hybrid graphics? [09:36] any ideas? [09:36] 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] 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] strange, burning the 12.10 iso to usb using pendrive usb installer, booted the usb, and a centos 64-bit menu appears [09:36] 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] Ergo^: I saw it. X itself segfaults. laptop with hybrid graphics? or intel cpu with IGP? [09:36] ... i am on ia32 [09:36] 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? [09:37] intel cpu [09:37] RagnaRok__: usually no there is no issue. [09:37] RagnaRok__: Nope. [09:37] RagnaRok__: usually no, the features are not ported* [09:37] oh well thanks guys [09:37] 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 [09:38] 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. [09:39] omfg [09:39] aeplus: ia32?? Dont you mix it up with i686? [09:39] Ergo^: remove your displaymanager from upstart so X shouldn't start [09:39] its almost 6AM. I need to go to sleep [09:39] gnite all [09:39] aeplus: ia32 hw is about 15y old nowadays. [09:39] Ergo^: then, boot to a console and run "startx" there [09:39] 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] What's the program called responsible for showing the Ubuntu logo during boot process? [09:39] oh, i686, sorry... basically mini9 [09:39] 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] aeplus: has the usb stick used for centos before? [09:40] atom n270 [09:40] wols_, whats that supposed to solve ? [09:40] Jimster480-L: rebooted several times .. that same result .. [09:40] ZAKhan: so it keeps telling you its available but its not installing it? [09:41] Ergo^: you said it works when one waits a bit. debugging for that [09:41] 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] 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] jimster, the disk label in windows is "install ubuntu", but syslinux/splash.jpg contains centos6 properties [09:41] Cya wols_ and ZAKhan [09:41] Jimster480-L, gn8t :) [09:41] Jimster480-L: thanks [09:41] i tried to do a fragal install but the sys says no available partion how do i go about it? [09:42] anyone using 12.10 on a mackbook pro? [09:42] riqdiiz: Whats "fragal"? [09:43] i m trying to install a Damn Small Linux [09:43] riqdiiz: Which has nothing to do with Ubuntu. [09:43] DSL is not supported in this channel, try ##linux [09:44] ok I thought they use the same kind of Kernel [09:44] riqdiiz: They do. But that doesnt make it supported in here. [09:45] riqdiiz: it's kinda like asking for support for Windows NT in a channel called ##vista [09:45] ok bekks let me try the ##linux [09:45] wols_, i will check the partitions and reformat the USB, but if it helps /.disk/info contains "ubuntu 12.10 ... (20121017.2)" [09:45] good luck riqdiiz [09:45] ok let me see what it says [09:45] aeplus: it's the bootloader that would be important, not the directories it contains. a single usb stick can comtain many installers [09:46] e.g. YUMI [09:46] * riqdiiz waves bye [09:47] wols_, you are responsible for driver packages ? [09:48] What video converter can I use in Ubuntu to convert video files MPEG1 format and audio files to mp3/mp2 format? I need these formats to get movies working on my ( http://www.sony-asia.com/product/kdl-32cx520 ) ???

I need these formats to get movies working on my ( http://www.sony-asia.com/product/kdl-32cx520 ) ??? [09:53] BlueWolf: probably none. mp3 is patented. you need a non-free converter. avconv/ffmpeg with the necessary build options can do it however [09:54] wols_, i actually have a better idea... screw fglrx [09:54] is there a way to get a prerelease version of ubuntu kernel ? [09:54] vs mainline kernels from ppa ? [09:55] 3.6 will have opengl 3.0 full support [09:55] wols_: Seriously! Arrrrr Ok well would you happen to have to know how to play movies on a Sony Bravia TV? What formats does my flash have to be and the movies? [09:56] BlueWolf: I have no clue and I don't care. this isn't the place for Brava TVs [09:57] BlueWolf: Take a look at their manual, as being told three times already. [09:57] wols_: Yes I understand that, no need to be snide. Thank you for your help. :D [09:57] BlueWolf, try handbrake [09:57] !handbrake > BlueWolf [09:57] BlueWolf, please see my private message [09:58] bekks: I did and they want me to buy it. I better get off here before I get kicked off . :D [09:58] BlueWolf: handbrake is free software [09:58] bazhang: Thanks ;-) [09:59] BlueWolf: The manuals are for free, I just checked it. So start reading now, please. [09:59] wols_: I see that. [09:59] bekks: I'm on it ;-) [09:59] BlueWolf, jstebbins PPA is the best source for it, as far as I am aware [10:00] bazhang: Ok thanks.

[10:09] lafiir, turn down the volume on the pc? [10:09] command line alsamixer [10:09] and do your thing wols_ [10:09] wols_: of course not [10:10] Lafiir: you can unload the sound modules for your kernel [10:10] lsmod |grep snd [10:11] abdelghani: there are websites that do this [10:11] Lafiir, delete your .pulse folder, logout and login back again [10:11] any software to do so [10:11] Lafiir, go into your home folder, press CTRL+H, find the .pulse folder and delete it, then logout, etc. [10:12] kostkon: tried that already. I think wols_ option is probably the only way until I find out what exactly broke [10:12] Lafiir: I'd enter in terminal 'pulseaudio -k' first [10:13] Lafiir: you can find out using 'pacmd' if pulse finds your card correctly, maybe you need a special module option, maybe ask in #pulse [10:14] Lafiir, ok [10:15] Why is it that the upgrade-window (showing the progress for upgrading to 12.10) doesn't let me see the actual files it downloads or installs? The arrow that is supposed to show the detailed output doesn't work. [10:16] wols_: uhm, how do I remove the module? [10:16] 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] with rmmod, but do what kostkon advised you first. removing the snd modules is a bit radical [10:17] jan271: what nvidia chip and how did you install it? from ubuntu repos? [10:18] 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] wols_: I have tried installing nvidia-current, nvidia-experimental and nvidia-current-updates from ubuntu repo [10:19] Lafiir: he told you more things. like removing your user's pulseaudio config [10:19] jan271: check your Xorg.0.log then [10:19] Lafiir, open your sound prefs and try lowering your volume levels and see if that makes any difference [10:20] where is gnome 3 logfile located? [10:20] wols_: just a second, need to chroot from liveCD since the recovery mode hangs due to a bug [10:20] Shouldn't someone remove the release party link in the notice? It's been 2 days since release now [10:20] cardie1: Most logs are found in /var/log [10:20] islandmonkey: long party :P [10:20] islandmonkey, yes but i cant find any logfile for gnome 3 there.... [10:21] gnome usually does not have a logfile [10:21] No, I don't think so [10:23] 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 downloaded a new Gnome Window Theme. How to install it ? Maya / Cinnamon [10:24] arun__: Mint not supported here, sorry [10:24] Lafiir, what do you mean buggin out. please, be more specific, give more details [10:24] is anyone here a security expert.

I have tried making it with nvidia-xconfig at some point but later removed it due to some problems with noveau. Should I re-create one?

[10:28] jan271: no you should not. but without one, nvidia drivers can't work. and they create one on their own [10:28] noobAndy: Stop that [10:28] islandmonkey: OK NO MORE [10:28] islandmonkey: in which notice?

[10:30] Lafiir, let's try resetting pulse once more, then we'll check your hardware volume levels with alsamixer [10:31] thanks islandmonkey [10:31] IdleOne: No problem [10:31] kostkon: /dev/dsp* does not exist. and /dev/snd/controlC0: lafiir 8447 F.... pulseaudio [10:32] Lafiir, ok, try this: delete your .pulse folder, then in the terminal give: pkill pulseaudio, and then: pulseaudio -D [10:32] wols_: I tried nvidia 9400M but I am not shure, since lspci or lshw does not give me any info about the chip [10:32] jan271: lspci |grep VGA [10:32] Also, the interesting part is, noveau sort of works.. only if the nvidia driver is not installed [10:33] VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA corporation Device 08a0 (rev a2) [10:33] kostkon: daemon startup failed [10:33] Lafiir, does: ps -A | grep pulse gives you anything? [10:34] kostkon: otherwise the problem went away for about five seconds and is now returning [10:34] yes, 8617 ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio [10:35] Lafiir, ok, what problem exactly and how did you know so quickly? [10:35] Howdy all [10:37] kostkon: the crackling, the flickering of the device list, the resetting of the master volume. It's not happening that fast as before, but I think it's speeding up slowly over time [10:37] hello, just installed ubuntu 12.10, and i have a question about this new webapps, should they appear only on launchbar or near clock too? [10:37] Lafiir, did you close all your audio related apps, including your sound prefs, before doing the above?

[14:03] Ancoor, you gotta figure out what it skipped when you stopped it and just upgrade the old packages using apt-get [14:03] "service mysql start" gives "mysqld:unrecognized service" [14:03] check your update log and http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:03] Just tried to make use of the Automation Script on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot with 12.10. Does not seem to work. 12.04 worked fine. I will try to get my head around as to why later. But dear god i really know NOTHING about scripts so it will probably take me hours to even get how it works, not to mention fixing it. Would be VERY happy if anyone skilled could fix a new up to date version. [14:03] Dougie187: have you tried the official Nvidia drivers from the website? depending on the card, I've had some luck with them [14:04] From the nvidia website? [14:04] i conceded defeat on the amd radeon driver thing a long time ago with ubuntu =P [14:04] the open source ones arent half bad no though [14:04] now** [14:04] I agree [14:04] Dougie187: yes, there are some linux drivers on there that actually work.. [14:04] BluesKaj: still with me? [14:04] Just slightly higher CPU usage [14:04] dustinspringman: ok cool. I'll try that out. thanks [14:05] Hola otra vez [14:05] WEll,,, lets just not talk about gaming performance on Ati/amd FOSS drivers. but desktop works fine .) [14:05] the tragedy is how many new users break their os trying to just install a video driver, i think the "official" ones just made it worse [14:05] BluesKaj: see the swapoff command and ubottu's message [14:05] !swap | ubottu [14:05] jrib: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:05] where is the update log? [14:05] fomg-optimize: why not use the mini.iso? [14:06] commandline is the game i play [14:06] hello from demark [14:06] hi is there a way to get back the message indicator ? ubuntu 12.10 [14:06] Is there any tool like pkgdu in Ubuntu, i.e. to find out files from what packages use most disk space? [14:06] Dougie187: Not all of them will work, if you have an OEM system (like dell or Acer or something) the mobile drivers won't work as the cards have been "customized" for the manufacturer.. [14:06] Long story, closed source firmware PXE on laptop that is really... irritating. That somehow magically managed to work out of box. Locked to ownly allow boot from HDD or PXE. [14:07] ThinkT510 [14:07] theadmin: Synaptic shows you. [14:07] dustinspringman: I do have a dell. :( So maybe I won't try that. [14:07] Dougie187: Also, do you have a "optimus" card or is it just a single video card system? [14:07] dustinspringman: no. It's a NVS 4200M [14:07] Ancoor, is reinstalling mysql out of the question [14:07] dont listen to me though im just intermediate at this [14:07] bekks: Hm... Guess that might have to do. Thanks [14:07] Hi [14:08] dustinspringman: I had it working in 12.04 perfectly using their hardware drivers thing [14:08] How do I connect to a samba share on the network that requires a login through nautilus? All I see is the "mount" option [14:08] Dougie187: I am running a dell as well, XPS L702x .. Mine works with the Nvidia-drivers installed from the synaptic manager [14:08] blz, you configured samba? [14:08] dustinspringman: weird. I have a 6250E. [14:08] jrib, it's not a swap partition , it's swapfile created in / because i have no more room for primary partitions [14:08] til4k, yes [14:08] til4k, I configured the server if that's what you're asking [14:09] and it expects login credentials [14:09] dustinspringman: through synaptic. You mean thorough the software sources thing? Or through installing synaptic first and then installing nvidia-current and nvidia-settings? [14:09] Dougie187: yea, mine is an optimus system so I had to use the stock driver then run bumblebee on top of it to get 3D rendering on the NVidia card instead of the intel [14:09] blz, have you consulted https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba [14:09] i dont use samba myself [14:09] dustinspringman: ah, that's interesting. [14:10] til4k, yes I have [14:10] til4k, yeah I'd use NFS, but there are windows clients =/ [14:10] dustinspringman: I'm trying to install nvidia-current from apt-get right now. We'll see if this one works. [14:10] 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] 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) [14:11] 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] 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] dustinspringman: maybe. just nvidia-settings gets pissed and says it doesn't have any driver that it can use. [14:12] Another question to anyone who knows. Is there a way to get pidgin to be in the messaging menu? [14:12] 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 [14:13] dustinspringman: good to know. Do you know if 12.10 cleaned up the multi-arch some more? [14:13] Dougie187: Then finally check wether you really use the nvidia driver. Just instaling them isnt sufficient to be sure. [14:13] why do ppl insist on upgrading, i like a nice fresh start [14:13] bekks: how do you do that? [14:13] its only twice a year [14:14] Dougie187: By taking a look into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:14] if your tweaks and GUI setup is so precious dont upgrade [14:14] k im about to get ubottu'ed for chatting ill shut up [14:14] afk [14:14] bekks: Ok. I'll check that after this is done. [14:14] I am trying to create a folder to develop a website under /var/www/ [14:14] but it is not allowing [14:14] why is that>? [14:14] 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] 'permission denied' [14:14] ThothCastel: Because you donz have the permission to do so. [14:15] guys,I encounter a mysql error:https://gist.github.com/3923393 [14:15] ThothCastel: Do you know what permissions are in Linux? [14:15] I tried the following to give the permission: sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/ [14:15] I have big problems with the Additional Drivers for my ATI/AMD, after Activation my Compiz dont work!! [14:15] I have done on it for days [14:15] nothing help [14:15] pls help me. [14:15] bekks: yes, thank you [14:15] ThothCastel: OUCH. Now you messed it up. [14:15] ThothCastel: Obvious you have no clue about permissions. :) [14:15] I am trying to assign the right permissions [14:16] theoretically I undersntand it... just haven't put it into practice yet [14:16] !ubottu chown ThothCastel [14:16] til4k: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:16] what [14:16] ThothCastel: And now, you allowed _everyone_ to have FULL access to your webserver, including changing files, etc. - EVERYONE, not just you. [14:16] !chown ThothCastel [14:16] how the hell does that thing work [14:16] !ubottu chown [14:16] lol [14:17] lol [14:17] bekks: I KNOW THAT... I DID THAT ON PURPOSE... It's as development environment... simply to learn [14:17] however it just seems that it does not work [14:17] Its called an extreme sport [14:17] ThothCastel, bekks is being a lil bit of a dbag but relax yo [14:17] Dougie187: you might also have some better luck getting support for 12.10 in ubuntu+1 channel [14:17] I still can't create the directory [14:17] Is Empathy still the default chat program in Ubuntu 12.10? [14:17] You guys just dont understand [14:17] til4k: thanks ;) [14:17] guys,I encounter a mysql error:https://gist.github.com/3923393 [14:17] anyhelp? [14:18] thanks bekks :) [14:18] !filepermissions [14:18] !ubottu filepermissions [14:18] til4k, stop that [14:18] i forget how to use that thing [14:18] til4k, and stop the name calling [14:18] k [14:18] !msgthebot | til4k [14:18] til4k: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [14:18] ThothCastel, bekks for what it's worth, I've experienced the same thing in the past, namely with external harddrives [14:19] ThothCastel: Then learn on how to NOT use 777 :) [14:19] ThothCastel: Which user does not have sufficient permissions? [14:19] And why dont you just put that user into the group /var/www/ belongs to? [14:19] blz: ok... lol.. I just want to paste a directory that contains the files of my website inside the /var/www directory... [14:20] ThothCastel, and your permissions aren't taking? [14:20] ThothCastel, that's the issue, right? === jen is now known as Guest53907 === Guest53907 is now known as furrypants [14:20] Or did I assume too much =) [14:20] blz: yes [14:20] what the heck is the keyring thing? I havent figured it out [14:21] 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] hey all, software sources in ubuntu 12.10 crashed and won't start, how can i fix it? [14:21] I simply want to give x user full permissions to that folder [14:21] blz: thanks yo! ;) [14:22] in a ubuntu machine, doesn't the default user, when first installed, have administrator permissions? [14:23] 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?

[14:24] michealPW, see above [14:24] q/ to save me finding out the hard way... [14:24] if I installed mame from s/w cantre could I use my [old] collection of images from WinXP? Shoulsd I also also install mame tools? [14:25] Time to try out this nvidia driver. brb wish me luck. :P [14:26] 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] for me. [14:26] how to assign full control to a user in ubuntu? [14:26] bernard__, pinguy is not supported here [14:26] bernard__, search for their channel [14:26] its the same ubuntu, cmon.. [14:26] !alis | bernard__ [14:26] 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* [14:27] bernard__ some 10 people in #pinguyOS [14:28] any ideas about that DVD issue? [14:28] ThothCastel: You user HAS full control, you can use sudo. [14:28] !sudo | ThothCastel [14:28] 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 [14:29] could someone point me to an irc channel for crosscompilation on Ubuntu (for ARM) [14:29] #ubuntu-arm sanone [14:29] bazhang, thanks [14:30] bekks: thanks but it's simply not working!... I applied sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/Procopio.co.uk [14:30] is there a chrome channel ? or does somebody know when google chrome does work on quantal ??? [14:30] google chrome works on quantal [14:30] ThothCastel: WHAT is not working? [14:30] I'm using it right now :D [14:30] 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] i get an error thats not save to install the .deb from google [14:30] ThothCastel: And when being a member of the group /var/www belongs to, you have to set 775 instead of 755. === spupuser is now known as Guest74925 [14:31] cebor, Google has a repository which has chrome-stable, chrome-beta and chrome-unstable [14:31] bekks: it belongs to 'rrot' [14:31] 'root' [14:31] freijon: ah ok, have you a link for me ??

However when I double click on .jar file NOTHING happens. I opened system monitor and there's a lot of tasks java/javaws (everytime i click it comes up) However no win [14:35] dows pops up. I could not find any solution in 3 days and googled everything that has something to do with java. 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...

Thank you! :) [14:40] ThothCastel: :P [14:40] ThothCastel: Do you understand why it is working?

[14:43] I'm sorry I mean a 3 pass wipe [14:44] iFlip , dhcp? [14:44] m4t, it needs both [14:44] 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 thx [14:44] m4t, don't even attempt to remove either of them :P [14:44] :/ [14:45] 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] m4t - good thought forgot about that - I guess it held that name in ARP [14:45] I'll try it again. I'm trying to watch DVDs with my new laptop. I installed libdvdcss2 (using the instructions from http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG%21+Ubuntu%21%29 ). I still cant play DVDs. I can open the DVD with my file browser but cannot play the files. Help is appreciated [14:46] when did the new version come out? I missed the release! [14:46] 18th tucemiux [14:46] freijon: that would make since because the router i have at home is using wep atm and there is no issues at all but the work is wpa2 [14:46] tucemiux: Thats no drama. [14:46] How do i change mouse scroll wheel sensitivity? [14:46] freijon: and i have 0 issues with it at home [14:46] tucemiux: Did you install wpa_supplicant? [14:46] bazhang, the 18th of this month? [14:46] freijon, using what players [14:46] Corey1, did you search on gnome-look.org or gtk-apps.org? [14:46] tucemiux, yes [14:46] bekks: that site was a bit useless, since the used/free value of system monitor shows them excluding disk cache. [14:47] bazhang: I tried totem and VLC and audience [14:47] mysql problem solved... apparmor stopped the process, since i kept the apparmor configs from 12.04 [14:47] freijon, and mplayer? [14:47] Lafiir: Well, RAM has nothing to do with DISK space... [14:47] kostkon: no, i will lookup, thx [14:47] Lafiir: Absolutely nothing. [14:47] I don't like mplayer :/ [14:47] 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] freijon, try it nonetheless [14:47] and I doubt it will work if it doesn't work with VLC [14:47] but okay, I'll try [14:47] bekks: of course not [14:47] oic123 [14:48] Lafiir: Then where's the problem in used RAM, unless your computer starts swapping? [14:48] 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] freijon, you do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, correct? and got the libdvdcss2 deb from medibuntu.org [14:49] bazhang: dunno and yes. I'll reinstall ubuntu-restriced-extras. mplayer didn't work btw [14:49] 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] tucemiux: Why shouldnt it? [14:50] 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] Anyone know how to change mousewheel sensitivty in ubuntu? [14:50] tucemiux: For me, only RealTek chipsets did cause problems, everything else worked for me - since years now- [14:51] WhereIsMySpoon, might have to edit X.org sec [14:51] til4k: ok, you mean Xorg.conf?

[14:53] tucemiux: yes [14:53] tucemiux: theres no mousewheel config there tho [14:53] bazhang: ubuntu-restriced-extras was not installed. but now that I installed it it still doesn't work [14:53] to be clear, my mouse works fine normally, i just want to tweak the mousewheel sensitivity [14:53] tucemiux, for a start, try using the tab to select it [14:54] whoops [14:54] i meant, phenrique, for a start, try using the tab to select it [14:54] 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] tucemiux: its a personal setting [14:55] I can't download ubuntu [14:55] tucemiux: i think its too slow [14:55] tucemiux: therefore i want to change it [14:55] :S [14:55] 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] freijon, did you just download the deb from medibuntu, or what [14:55] 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] no, I installed it using the link I showed you above [14:55] kostkon, i try but the text dont show, i only check but not know the matter [14:55] WhereIsMySpoon, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/42867/modifying-mouse-touchpad-sensitivity [14:55] theres a link to a program [14:56] til4k: will check it [14:56] freijon, you enabled the medibuntu repos, or what. [14:56] til4k: thats useless [14:57] any other ideas? ^^ [14:57] kostkon, i already try increase the screen but dont can.... [14:57] a lot of people say you plug it out and in again [14:57] lots of threads with that solution [14:57] til4k: i dont have a MS mouse [14:57] o [14:57] thats only a problem with MS mouses [14:58] is it a preference thing or is it unusable [14:58] phenrique, try pressing ALT+F8, it's the shortcut for resizing windows. It might work. [14:58] 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] preference [14:58] like i know firefox has add-ons for scrolling [14:58] that would only work in ff tho [14:58] no? [14:58] ya [14:58] 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] then that isnt useful [14:58] i know [14:58] 12.04 is LTS [14:58] 12.10 isnt [14:58] marjinal1st: You have to decide which version you want. [14:59] I was wondering, if it possible to change the GRUB interface on startup to be a lot more graphical? [14:59] it might be a bug then [14:59] phenrique, oh you don't any space left, yeah sorry. [14:59] ehsor [14:59] So it doesn't look like so much DOS [14:59] *eh sorry marjinal1st i misunderstood what you said [14:59] til4k: =/ [14:59] til4k: i am using a vbox [14:59] so that could be it [14:59] meaning what?

Could you mention other options ? [15:52] weird, After upgrading to 12.10, my USB mouse occasionally stop working. reconnecting fix it.

[16:02] Dulcin: 12.04 is LTS & is probably set to just upgrade to the next LTS version [16:02] ahh i see [16:03] 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 [16:04] it's updating now :) [16:04] thanks for the tip [16:04] whats everyone upto? [16:04] Dulcin: You're welcome [16:04] I'm trying to setup 12.10 in a virtualbox, I have installed virtualbox-guest-additions and enabled the virtualbox driver in the "Additional drivers" tab, but for some reason no vbox modules are started when I boot the machine.. any ideas? [16:05] loaded* [16:05] hello [16:05] 12.10 seems bugy it will ok soon? [16:06] How to make USB port to charge iPad. http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-charge-ipad-on-ubuntu-linux-via-usb-ports this manual is not working [16:07] Is shred overkill before reselling computer? [16:07] Currently running shred -n 1 -z [16:07] seems like a sensible precaution [16:07] btw how can i understand if my graphic card properly installed? [16:07] wastrel, but would a simple zero-pass be considered enough ? [16:07] does anybody know where i can get 3proxy [16:08] iono from data security [16:08] i'd think not many people would be doing advanced forensics on it [16:08] loco [16:08] ola [16:08] wastrel, so conclusion? 0-pass enough ? [16:09] unless you get really unlucky :] [16:09] how sensitive is the data [16:09] there's really no one answer [16:10] 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] 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] intellilogic: handbrake doesn't seem to be able to read it either [16:10] nibbler_, Do you have a map to go there ? :D [16:11] amews_aj-study: once you get to middleearth its well documented :p [16:11] nibbler_, yea, but how do I get there ? :D [16:12] 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 ? [16:13] alienaut, do you have some problems with ? [16:13] amews_aj-study: No. [16:13] amews_aj-study, depends on how long you had it installed for. [16:13] if I delete all the files under var/log on my ubuntu 12.04 will it cause the system to malfunction ? [16:13] Optichip, months === t0rben_ is now known as t0rben [16:13] amews_aj-study: then it'll be all over the partition, not just the first 100gig. [16:13] so anyone knows how to make password protected excel 2010 files with libreoffice? Thanks [16:14] Hello, anyone here used the openvpn plugin for network manager? [16:14] themhz: maybe logging would malfunction for missing directories, nothing else would suffer usually [16:14] alexfpms, i dont know what graphic driver should i use [16:14] gbear14275: I recommend gopenvpn, sadly not in the repositories. [16:14] thank you nibbler_ [16:14] I suppose that "normal people" will not be able to recover data if I simply zero-pass the partition ? [16:14] *work with likbreoffice [16:14] themhz: reboot or restart your syslog server after deleting... [16:15] kapz: just password protect the file and save as Office? [16:15] hello [16:15] amews_aj-study: right. [16:15] hello [16:15] 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] thank you again nibbler_ [16:15] Optichip, it's the other way around... [16:15] alienaut, what graphic card do you have ? [16:15] amews_aj-study: correct you should be fine [16:15] nibbler_, is syslog server also responsible for php logs? [16:15] alexfpms, Radeon hd 6329 [16:15] gbear14275: thats due to the setup of the corresponding vpn server. check out your routing tables and routing settings in the vpn config [16:16] 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] 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] themhz: i'd guss so [16:16] 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] amews_aj-study: yes [16:16] nibbler_, ok thanx [16:16] alienaut, what it says: lspci -nn | grep VGA [16:16] can someone help me i cant to coonect zith zen live cd to internt [16:16] aka without the plugin [16:16] iono? whos that? [16:16] wallythemoose, you can easily move them to a different drive [16:16] gbear14275: nopaste "ip r s" while on the vpn [16:16] nibbler_, ok. Now what is the proper command for doing such a zero-pass ? [16:16] wallythemoose, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [16:16] nibbler, k one sec [16:16] is updating to ubuntu 12.10 safe? [16:17] amews_aj-study: cat /dev/zero > /dev/device-to-shred [16:17] sfan5: Safe in which manner? [16:17] nibbler_: OUCH. [16:17] alexfpms, ""00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320] [1002:9806] [16:17] Optichip: Thanks! [16:17] bekks: did i step on your foot? [16:17] amews_aj-study: dd bs=16M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourharddisk [16:17] hi [16:17] bekks: like the unity search bar not working for ~ 4 weeks, that happened to me last upgrade [16:17] my newly installed 12.10 doen't see my ATI card? [16:18] nibbler_: you just hot my eyes ;) [16:18] I go to the additional drivers and it isn't there [16:18] bekks, So whats the difference between cat as nibbler_ suggested, and dd ? [16:18] how do I install the drivers? [16:18] bekks: are you a dogs person? hate cat? [16:18] amews_aj-study: there is like 1000 ways to do it.... one as good as the other [16:18] nibbler_: It was a joke :) [16:18] ;-) [16:19] :) [16:19] designbybeck, check settings, software sources, additional drivers [16:19] i am trying to install my ati driver too :) [16:19] alienaut, what version of ubuntu do you use ? [16:19] yes I did that alienaut and i don't see it [16:20] nibbler, thanks... looks like the default route is changing. This information helps! /msg NickServ identify [16:20] oops http://pastebin.com/q5zSUYUW [16:20] alexfpms, 12.10 [16:20] i see my wireless card and that is installed and working fine... but in the past I have seen the ATI info there as well [16:20] anyone knows if you can back up an entire hard drive using partimage? I want to clone the entire hard drive with the partitions [16:20] alienaut: do you see yours listed? [16:20] soory now is work strqnge [16:20] yes [16:20] gbear14275: then just "ip r d default" and set your routes to your liking [16:20] well dang [16:20] wonder if i should restart..... [16:20] bekks, nibbler_, using cat command I get permission denied, even with sudo ? [16:21] nibbler, where would I go to affect those routes? (you replied before I could ask... I think you're a mind reader) [16:21] 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] amews_aj-study: cat is the slowest solution. And sudo doesnt pass that ">" pipe. [16:21] alexfpms, there are 3 driver should i use proprietary ones? [16:21] bekks, I should use dd ? [16:21] 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] amews_aj-study: Yes. [16:21] does blocksize matter? [16:22] amews_aj-study: Yes. [16:22] amews_aj-study: Thats why i wrote bs=16M [16:22] Hello, I'm noob in linux. I want to compile file from source but there's no configure file, but there is some "Makefile." files; how do I do it? [16:22] alienaut, i use proprietary driver [16:22] User123: By running "make". [16:22] hi all [16:22] =) [16:22] alienaut, depends on what you want to do with [16:22] i stopped "do-release-upgrade" and now it seems to be broken [16:22] bekks, make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [16:22] 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 [16:23] root____1: Dont IRC as root please :) [16:23] ok [16:23] logout [16:23] User123: Then consult the manual/readme of whatever you are trying to compile. [16:23] sfan5, aborting an upgrade is always a bad idea [16:23] How can I get some progress output ? [16:23] question: can anybody explain the last comment o this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/linux/+bug/992087 [16:23] Launchpad bug 992087 in linux (Ubuntu Quantal) "[Vostro 3450] No sound from internal speakers" [Medium,Confirmed] [16:23] alexfpms, thansk! [16:23] nibbler_, the pointer on using ip should be enough to help me troubleshoot... I really appreciate it. Would like to PM you real quick... that ok? [16:23] because I have the exact same issue and so do some other people: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12307092#post12307092 [16:23] bekks, no readme files... no other ideas? [16:24] OerHeks: it magically repaired itself [16:24] designbybeck you still not find them? [16:24] my problem is solved :) [16:24] gbear14275: no PMing please, just ask here [16:24] no alienaut [16:24] User123: Then you have to analyze the Makefile. [16:24] im' waiting for a download to finish then I'll restart [16:24] amews_aj-study: kill -1 on the PID of the dd process. [16:25] nibbler_, public wouldn't be interested... [16:25] kill ? huh? [16:25] amews_aj-study: kill -1 [16:25] bakks, there's 12 of them. [16:25] what does kill -1 mean ? [16:25] amews_aj-study: Thats HUP, and it will continue. [16:25] amews_aj-study: Hang up - and continue. [16:25] desingbybeck are you sure your graphic card supported? [16:25] black_puppydog: i guess he's saying if you have the same problem on different hardware to file a new bug [16:26] bekks, there's 12 of them. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1292661/ [16:26] wastrel: but why? wouldn't it actually help to see what all these models have in common to get a better understanding of why this happens? [16:27] bekks, it wrote hangup, and killed it [16:27] black_puppydog: iono. [16:27] Why not just do shred -n 0 -z ? Won't that do the same thing ? [16:27] shred supports verbose [16:29] designbybeck, try "lspci -nn | grep VGA" on your terminal to see what is your graphic card and see if it is supported on ubuntu website. alexfpms :) [16:30] amews_aj-study: I was wrong - it should have been kill -USR1 [16:30] alienaut: it shows the "AMD" card [16:30] bekks, anyway, shred -n 0 -z -v should also be a single zero-pass right ?

[16:32] wouldn't updates do that for you? [16:32] what are headers anyway? alexfpms ?

[16:34] oh thanks.. [16:34] How do I install a network driver from ubuntu server [16:34] you see I have a kubuntu 12.04.1 installation on my laptop [16:35] Is there a known issue with libc6-dev and libc6-i386? I seem to have broken packages [16:35] tucemiux, there are software packages that do that, like fogserver [16:35] alienaut, so if you installed driver without headers it might not work, so re-install drivers [16:35] so I was taking an update...but then my laptop's battery charge got over and the system got restarted [16:35] alexfpms, ok! [16:36] so after that my update manager can't take any update...says the libc6 package is broken [16:36] hi. I'm on my HP touchpad right now running ubuntu chroot [16:36] i think i need to restart my computer [16:36] I have done extensive search on this matter...but all of the efforts have failed.. [16:37] 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] spartan29, were you in the middle of an upgrade? [16:37] 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 [16:38] having trouble with root permissions. I'm trying to get it prepped and ready for the upcoming Cryptoparty. Could anyone help [16:38] Optichip, yes but i'm only going to do this once - i just want to clone a drive for backup purposes [16:38] 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] tucemiux, ahh well clonezilla will work as well. [16:38] spartan29, sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade [16:39] is there a way to hide "more sugestions" ?? quantal [16:39] yes optichip... [16:39] i was in a middle of a update...not upgrade [16:39] Same thing [16:39] spartan29, sudo apt-get -f update [16:40] alexfpms, i did it. now how to understand if it properly installed? [16:40] says could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open [16:40] though i don't have any update/package manager open. [16:40] strange [16:40] how can I write to the file a list of packages that could be upgraded? [16:41] 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] alienaut, i never had ATI card but i think you should have some ati graphic card control panel [16:42] in settings? [16:42] tucemiux, well the clonezilla is a mini distro, boot from USB to clone a drive. [16:42] spartan29, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986288 [16:42] alienaut, with nvidia we have nvidia-settings [16:42] tucemiux, this will ultimately be what you want, you never want to be on the drive you're clonign. [16:42] tucemiux, s/clonign/cloning [16:42] oh! [16:43] well i restarted and still don't see my ATI drivers in addiontal drivers :( [16:43] alexfpms, thanks i saw it, and my performance better i think === gvim is now known as Guest23571 [16:45] 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] akls you can do a sudo apt-get -s install package >> package.txt [16:46] designbybeck, you can also install it from ATI site [16:46] alienaut, and offcourse unity panels must be transparent [16:46] alexfpms, yes it is now :) [16:47] Does anyone know how to install something with ubuntu server [16:47] Hello [16:47] Jisawesome2: do you mean packages? [16:47] Jisawesome2, what do you mean? [16:48] So, no more help for me? [16:48] designbybeck, what is your card ? [16:48] tucemiux, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ [16:48] Optichip, yes - im downloading the drive and going to install the ISO to my usb thumb drive [16:48] i am ready happy with it :) i think i am ready back to work. thanks alexfpms :) [16:48] optichip, I need to install a network driver from a jump drive or cd [16:48] alienaut, you're welcom [16:49] 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] sfan, I mean network drivers [16:49] Jisawesome2, in order to make your network card work on your Ubuntu server? [16:49] Griffin40, did you enable a ppa [16:49] 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] til4k what is that? [16:49] optichip yes [16:49] Optichip, yep. is there any way to get more clear output? [16:49] Griffin40, were you using proprietary video drivers? [16:49] hello everyone! [16:50] Optichip, I was using a driver I downloaded from AMD [16:50] 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] Griffin40: did your machine remove any packagess? [16:50] Griffin40, you'll need to rerun your amd configuration then [16:50] ok, then another question : is it possible that compiled program will be 64bit and wont work on my 32bit OS? [16:50] 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 :) [16:51] akls, you'd have to use sed to clean it up with what you want. [16:51] 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] ajacom, on a vitrual machine? [16:51] Optichip, How could I do that from tty1 [16:51] 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] User123 hm [16:51] Jisawesome2: no on the free hdd space [16:51] Im not sure taht is possible... [16:51] ajacom: what is your default Bootmanager? === dpac is now known as dpac|away [16:51] Jimster480-L: no idea. the one that came with Win8 [16:51] ajacom: make sure when you run ubuntu installer, select the hard drive like sda, not sda2 partition [16:51] to install grub [16:51] ajacom, where did you install grub? [16:52] wallythemoose: I'm using "install Ubuntu alongside windows 8" [16:52] tucemiux: ^ [16:52] 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] 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] oprtichip, do I just use apt-gert [16:52] 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] 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] Griffin40, just login as yourself, find the driver file you downloaded from AMD and rerun it [16:53] tucemiux, you want to make an exact copy of drive a on drive usb right? [16:53] Jisawesome2, is the server a phyical machine or is this in a VM on your machine? [16:53] 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] physical machien [16:53] Jimster480-L: I'm using 'install alongside windows 8'. i'm not really seeing all the sda, sda2 partitioning bits [16:53] Optichip, The problem is I can not get into a gui I can only boot into tty1 [16:53] Jimster480-L: it should work fine though, right ? [16:53] tucemiux: oooh [16:53] phr3d13, for backup purposes, yes - sort of like ghost [16:53] Just installed ubuntu, now it boots to being stuck at "verifying DMI pool data"... :'( [16:53] tucemiux: I don't know what ghost is [16:53] then dd is exactly what you want [16:54] Griffin40, you don't need to get to the GUI to cd to the Downloads directory and run the file ./AMDblahblah.bin [16:54] tucemiux: you could use rsync to copy the files across from one to the other [16:54] 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] 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] OerHeks, ok. I just thought that you can choose to compile program to be 32bit or 64 bit :) noob here. Thank you. [16:54] Griffin40, what happens when you start X ? [16:54] tucemiux, dd will make an exact copy of a drive (partitioning scheme and all) on another drive [16:54] gordonjcp, i dont want use the files - i want the entire hard drive but let me explain myself a bit more [16:55] tucemiux: thanks [16:55] Optichip, how do I change my background ? [16:55] Optichip, I do not know the file name [16:56] Bye. [16:56] Optichip, apt-show-versions -u -b [16:56] 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 [16:57] Armageddon, !!!! [16:57] Griffin40, if you downloaded it, then it should be in your Downloads folder, will start with amd or AMD. [16:57] 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] alexfpms, It comes up with a lot of text and says Ok next to most of them but then just freezes [16:57] 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] 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? [16:58] Optichip, I think it is something really long and funny [16:58] 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] Griffin40, did you download it with firefox ? [16:58] Griffin40, you can type the first few letters of the filename then hit [TAB] key to complete. [16:58] 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 [16:59] Armageddon, IOk [16:59] Griffin40, if you did the name should be in the Download window in Firefox [16:59] Griffin40, then you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there's any error message [16:59] dfrey, what do you want ? [16:59] Griffin40: what desktop are you running on here? [16:59] alexfpms: I'm wondering why it isn't suggesting for me to update to 12.10 [16:59] less /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the command line. [17:00] and you can do update-grub [17:00] to make it rescan [17:00] Griffin40, if it's dropping down to tty then your Display Manager isn't getting called on boot to run [17:00] dfrey: are you on 12.04? [17:00] dfrey, change settings [17:00] dfrey, you want upgrade ? [17:00] Griffin40, try to run it manually [17:00] Armageddon, run what manually? [17:01] what is the service for the unity desktop? [17:01] Draton, alexfpms: Yes, I am on 12.04 and want to upgrade. Which settings do I need to change? [17:01] Griffin40, Display Manager [17:01] used to be you type gdm to get your desktop [17:01] dfrey, update-manager -d [17:01] dfrey, ubuntu software center edit software sources updates all updates [17:01] Armageddon, How would I do that [17:01] dfrey, sudo do-release-upgrade [17:02] 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] Griffin40, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM [17:02] Armageddon, I typed sudo lightdm [17:02] Armageddon, won't start it [17:02] Griffin40, won't start it [17:02] Griffin40, read the link [17:02] Seems to be upgrading now. Thanks === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [17:03] ajacom, You have 3 primaries if that description is correct you need a extended now to comtain any more logical type partitions [17:03] ajacom: yes.. if you are using a partition scheme called mbr, you are only limited to create 4 primary partitions. [17:04] 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. [17:05] mysticalzero, wilee-nilee, Jimster480-L: in that case i should be fine. again it didn't boot. I'm going to try http://askubuntu.com/questions/178184/updating-to-windows-8-on-dual-boot-with-ubuntu from the live cd === atrius_away is now known as atrius === MATRIX is now known as ASHER1 [17:05] Armageddon, When I type sudo start lightdm [17:05] yea you do that, I have no exp with Windows 8 at the moment so i cant really help u there. [17:06] ajacom, Would you run sudo fdisk -l first and pastebin that info so we know we are all on the same page. [17:07] wilee-nilee: sure. how do i run the console from the live cd? i'm a little lost with the new desktop [17:08] i have no idea how to use that desktop but you can do like ctrl + f2 and it should give ua terminal [17:08] ajacom, Just open a terminal ctrl-alt-t should open it and copy and paste sudo fdisk -l in and pastebin the info. [17:08] !pastebin > ajacom [17:08] ajacom, please see my private message [17:08] ctrl + alt + f1 [17:09] that is a TTY [17:09] lightdm didn't start when at boot. I can't find it in any of the /etc/rcN.d/ directories. Should I add it in there? [17:09] thanks for the help guys. here it goes: pastebin.com/Gg2TUSNG [17:09] Optichip, i wonder if it's possible to install clonezilla iso to a usb drive? o.O [17:09] we want a terminal if a pastebin is useed [17:09] can someone teach me how to use 3proxy? [17:09] tucemiux, yup [17:09] tucemiux: you could with a YUMI or a similar linux utility [17:09] tucemiux, well you can use DD or unetbootin [17:10] we were talking about it here last night. [17:10] yea but DD gonna erase his drive [17:11] when i type dmesg it says gdm normal process killed by term signal [17:11] wilee-nilee, did you get the url ? [17:11] ajacom, Yeah you have in the sda HD a extended already with a linux setup, I missed what you final goal is here is it a upgrade on the windows side? [17:12] i need a blank dvd so i can install freebsd [17:12] wilee-nilee: i have windows 8 installed. i want to dual boot with ubuntu, that's all. [17:12] that's my final goal [17:12] i prepared a fat32 partition to share my work between installs [17:12] cellofellow: lightdm uses upstart, check out /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log to see if there were errors [17:13] oy vey. Issues with a jmicron_graid controller and ubuntu. Not detecting windows is the least of my problems [17:13] Griffin40, did you try to do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [17:13] ajacom, i think grub doesn't support yet windows 8 [17:13] alexfpms: i've seen some tutorials online on how to dual boot win8 with ubuntu. they don't have this issue, though :/ [17:14] Optichip, Yes I think i did [17:14] ajacom, You have a extended sda4 that is good you want the linux inside that I see a sda5 and sda6 in there already. [17:14] Isn't wubi able to install Ubuntu using the Windows boot manager? [17:14] DaemonicApathy, It boots with the windows boot, [17:14] you install from windows is all [17:14] wilee-nilee: that was what the installer did just now after selecting "install alongside windows 8" [17:14] hello [17:15] Optichip, If I type that nothing happens [17:15] Griffin40, http://askubuntu.com/questions/161736/ubuntu-box-just-redisplaying-login-screen-after-update check that link [17:16] Hi, is there a media center for ubuntu that DOES NOT USE GPU for decoding? [17:16] ajacom, Cool I always do a manual install, so I'm not up on how the unstaller will react after seeing some bad results others have had but this is on the UF or here where people come for help. [17:17] If it ain't broke they don't come here or the forums usually [17:17] abode flash player plugin want to use my camera and mike but when i click allow nothing happens [17:17] Hi guys I have tried to upgrade to 12.10 [17:17] for some reason I had a lot of problems [17:18] now I dealing with this [17:18] trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.1.0.0', which is also in package libgexiv2-0 0.4.1-1oneiric5 [17:18] any ideas how to solve this? [17:18] ajacom, option to "Install along side Windows" does not work. Users need to create a boot partition, and install the GRUB bootloader to that partition. [17:18] i'm using ubuntu 12.10 [17:19] alexfpms, Since when do you need a boot partition [17:19] this is the complete error [17:19] http://pastebin.com/Tvs0ch0V [17:19] mordonez: libgexiv2-0 0.4.1-1oneiric5 is not part of oneiric [17:19] i am trying to install 12.10 from a usb stick [17:19] i got an error [17:20] how can I solve it wols_ [17:20] mordonez: you got it from PPA or some other place. and things like this happen when you use PPAs [17:20] please give me a hand [17:20] dash is not revealing when i move the mouse to the left side of the screen [17:20] mordonez: you uninstall the crap [17:20] wilee-nilee, is it a question ? [17:21] arunkumar413: what happens when you move it to the upper left corner? [17:21] 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] Is there a way what program uses it? [17:21] hi, is there a good media center that DOESN'T USE GPU? [17:21] did that Winodws 8 guy get his stuff fixed? [17:21] why faLUCE are you on intel? lol [17:22] you can always disable GPU accel [17:22] mordonez: you will see when you try to uninstall it [17:22] for those of you using Intel [17:22] alexfpms, I think I have missed part of his problem though so I tried asking what was up. [17:22] DaemonicApathy, nothing happens [17:22] wilee-nilee, problem comes with UEFI enabled OS like windows 8, grub might not work in that case [17:22] Jimster480-L: I didn't :D [17:22] Jimster480-L: exactly :-) [17:23] arunkumar413: And when you hit the Super key? [17:23] well disable the GPU accel in the media player like you can with VLC [17:23] where? I don't know what uninstall [17:23] DaemonicApathy, when i press the super key, it opens the dash [17:23] Jimster480-L: it's not enough for xbmc [17:23] since the gui still uses gpu [17:23] 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] alexfpms: so should i remove the partitions the installer did, and reinstall, but this time, create a boot partition manually ?? === paul__ is now known as dingdong [17:24] arunkumar413: If the panel is revealed when you open the Dash, you may just want to disable auto-hide. [17:24] lol how can ur gui lag [17:24] 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] DaemonicApathy, i want to auto-hide.My problem is when i move the mouse it doesn't reveal [17:25] arunkumar413: Alternatively, you could adjust the sensitivity of the revel under System Settings > Appearance. [17:25] 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] s/revel/reveal [17:25] alexfpms: should the boot partition be in the free hdd space? (after sda3 in this case) [17:25] daemon, i tried adjusting, but nothing happens [17:25] or that doens't matter? [17:25] hey, how would I temporarily disable an user account? [17:26] 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] I didnt change any [17:27] arunkumar413: Are you using NVidia drivers? [17:27] DaemonicApathy, yes [17:27] ajacom, the boot partition should be primary but you already have 3 primaries [17:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1057000 [17:27] Launchpad bug 1057000 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "[Ubuntu 12.04.1/12.10] nVidia drivers 304.51 prevent autohidden Unity launcher from revealing" [High,Triaged] [17:27] wols_: please tell me how can I know, to be honest I didn't understand what you said === enq is now known as ENQ [17:28] DaemonicApathy, i have a nvidia graphic card on my system, but sure if it is being used effectively by ubuntu [17:28] Optichip, i went to the clonezilla site and after doing a 360, i installed tuxboot - now im burning clonezilla to my usb drive o.O [17:28] 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] tucemiux, *cheer* [17:29] arunkumar413: I won't be much help with that, but it does look like they're working on your problem. [17:29] other thing, 12.04 doesn't say anything about 12.10 being available :/ [17:29] ajacom, i'm wrong boot might be logical too [17:29] mordonez: simply answer you can't without temporarily breaking your package system [17:29] DaemonicApathy, working on which one: dash or adobe flash [17:30] 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] alexfpms, Sorry I missed your post I wont interfere. ;) [17:30] 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] The Unity Panel, arun. [17:31] Flash is just horrible [17:31] DaemonicApathy, can i downgrade to 12.04 [17:31] how do I take a screenshot? [17:31] wilee-nilee, no problem you can interfere ;) [17:31] HelloWorld321 prtsc key [17:31] How obvious is that. Thanks.\ [17:31] 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] =) [17:31] arunkumar413: If you backup your data and install it clean. [17:32] Hi ! How can I install GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 ? [17:32] ajacom, there is no 4 [17:32] gigia, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [17:32] ajacom, you choose create /boot, type logical that's all [17:33] alexfpms: ok [17:33] thanks =) [17:33] ajacom, it will create extended if needed [17:33] gigia, You actually have gnome 3 already but thta will install the shell to use it. [17:33] 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] Thanks, how can I remove Unity ? [17:33] !nounity [17:33] 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 [17:34] ajacom, ex2 ? you mean ext2 ? [17:34] ae [17:34] gigia no need to remove, install something different and use that [17:34] alexfpms: yes, or ext4 [17:34] 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] i mean the "linux one" [17:34] ajacom, why not ext4 [17:34] alexfpms: yes, yes. i'm just confused on the names. i'll use ext4 [17:35] Thanks ! [17:36] ajacom, your BIOS is UEFI enabled? [17:37] Can someone help me install a network driver on my ubuntu server [17:37] alexfpms: i'm not sure. yes the box says "Dual UEFI" [17:38] Hello people ,got some 12.10 queries [17:38] Oh no. not again. [17:38] the usb stick died. [17:38] it's the second USB stick that is killed trying to install ubuntu =( [17:39] i don't know why. maybe it's that "persistence" stuff. [17:39] ajacom: The USB stick doesn't function at all anymore? [17:39] first of all ,are the ati cards giving a problem in 12.10 ? [17:39] kpullen: no. it's the second one [17:39] kpullen: it shows up in My Computer, though [17:39] and on disk administrator as well [17:39] ajacom, it's that "persistence" stuff? what do you mean ? [17:39] ajacom: Oh good, so theoretically it still functions [17:40] yea [17:40] i just can't format it [17:41] irc.rizon.net [17:41] ajacom: Do you know the USB stick's device path? It should be something like /dev/sdb [17:41] windows was unable to complete the format [17:41] sorry [17:41] os prober isn't seeing my windows install, it's saying "no volume groups found" [17:41] kpullen: i'm on windows. i couldn't boot into linux [17:42] ajacom: Ohhhh [17:42] Can someone help me install a network driver? [17:42] i had the live cd there = [17:42] =( [17:42] i must really want to install linux.... [17:42] 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. [17:43] kpullen: i'd love to, but i'm at the other side of the world right now [17:43] hi all, i'm having some trouble boot my ubuntu server after an update to grub. my root partition is on an lvm and im getting an error stating that "physical volume pv0 not found." [17:44] :) [17:44] what if i just use Wubi... ? [17:44] 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] 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 [17:45] arunkumar413: Are you running 12.10? A couple of other people mentioned an issue with flash in 12.10 last night. [17:46] The thing with Wubi though is that that is no real hibernate support [17:46] kpullen, yes i'm running 12.10 [17:47] Jimster480-L: i really don't mind about that... === fred_ is now known as Guest51997 [17:47] do I login again? [17:47] Can someone help me install a network driver? [17:48] arunkumar413: Well, this might not fix your issue, but others are having problems with flash due to compositing. Disabling it seems to resolve the issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg3868614.html. [17:48] ajacom: well then try it. I uesd it for like a year on a machine i coudlnt mess aroudn with the partition tables on [17:49] does anyone know much about using s/pdif with ubuntu? i've had a problem getting more than stereo output since i got it under 12.04 [17:49] Jimster480-L: is there a way to migrate to real linux installation after you're done with wubi ? [17:49] without losing everything ? [17:50] choosing the output on my mobo my only digital output options are stereo and stereo with input [17:50] using my nvidia card i can choose from 4 stereo and 3 5.1 options. one of the stereo gets sound, the 5.1 that WOULD is missing [17:51] ajacom, Yes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [17:51] i have tried looking at the file that populates the list you choose from, but it has everything right, the 5.1 just doesnt show up [17:51] I cant install programs [17:52] fred_F, Can you give some more detail. [17:53] Yes, I dowload a file [17:53] unpack [17:53] then I had to click on a install script [17:54] where can i ask to package polkit-kde-kcmodules-1 ?

[17:56] ajacom: you ever figure out the wubi migration? [17:56] hi I just upgraded to 12.10 but it is slow and buggy what should I do..? [17:56] Ciniu, what do you mean ? [17:56] tell me please the way to install correctly nvidia graphic drivers [17:56] me-1, be more specific [17:57] wubi migration you can install wubi [17:57] and then you can dd it over [17:57] anyway im out for a while take it easy peoples.

I tried doing 'sudo rm /dev/ttyACM0' and restarting udev. /dev/ttyACM0 no long shows up, but the device still registers as /dev/ttyACM1 when I plug it in. Is there a way to get it back to registering as /dev [17:59] /ttyACM0 without restarting the machine? [17:59] its a viewer.

I tried doing 'sudo rm /dev/ttyACM0' and restarting udev. /dev/ttyACM0 no long shows up, but the device still registers as /dev/ttyACM1 when I plug it in.

Can someone help me get by tasksel to work? [18:44] hello. i have a question - concerning the messaging menu icon in the panel. 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) [18:44] what's the shortcut key to switch between the same app windows? [18:44] How can I install xfce on Ubuntu 12.04 ?

[18:45] !purexfce | erdo [18:45] erdo: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [18:45] Are there any good software in the repos to analyse bandwidth usage? (Newbie-friendly) [18:45] Can someone help me get by tasksel to work? [18:45] How do I run a .run file in terminal? [18:46] Finnish: chmod +x something.run && ./something.run if that's an ELF file. [18:46] Finnish: chmod +x file.run ; ./file.run [18:46] Finnish: If it isn't but is just some random thing, I dunno. [18:46] Kvaks, Thanks [18:46] i'm updating to 12.10 and my fonts broke [18:46] lol [18:47] sfan5: Um... Fonts? [18:47] sfan5: Please give details on what exactly happened, a screenshot maybe? [18:47] theadmin: anything in xchat looks weirs [18:47] *weird [18:47] alexfmp I think is dynamic. How do i know if it is static or dynamic [18:48] I cant install Programs I downloaded [18:48] Seems ubuntu isnt offering me any additional drivers, it doesn't think I have an nvidia card, which i do - 1000m [18:48] fred_F: You're doing something wrong. [18:48] cowsquad, depends on your ISP, but you probably use a dynamic ip [18:48] stodge: The Linux drivers for nvidia don't support all nvidia cards, unfortunately. [18:48] yes, maybe [18:48] but what?? [18:49] 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] alexfmps, i use my phone internet. I have a galaxy nexus rooted so I use verizon mobile 4g on my laptop [18:49] cowsquad, what do you want to do? login from school ? [18:49] fred_F, what programm ?

What kinda files are they? [18:50] cowsquad: be aware that your school may block ports [18:50] sfan5: Looks fine to me, dunno [18:50] I had to unpack [18:50] theadmin: ok - I see there is a txt.gz file of supported cards, but how do I view this? [18:50] cowsquad, the problem, if you ip is dynamic it changes over time. How could you know it from school ? [18:50] sfan5: most schools do [18:50] in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz [18:50] when unpacked there is a script I had to run [18:51] theadmin: the font suddenly changed [18:51] sfan5: zcat /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz [18:51] help: ircII is broken; whenever i write something nobody rereplies [18:51] ah less will do it [18:51] Err. stodge, that zcat command was for you [18:51] Hi [18:51] stodge: No, you can't "less" a gzipped file [18:51] okay, I check that before doing something. thank you alexfmps [18:51] cowsquad, you have to pass over something similar to no-ip, but than again are you sure your ISP allows connections to the port 23? [18:51] I can't seem to update from 12.04 to 12.10 [18:51] theadmin: I did and it worked :) [18:52] It just says that there are not updates. [18:52] stodge: hm okay, lol [18:52] :) [18:52] theadmin: zless [18:52] sfan5: Oh. [18:52] alexfpms. when I set up openshh-server i change the port to some number I created like 4344 [18:52] 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] fred_F, there is a readme.txt in that archiv [18:52] ? [18:52] No not any [18:53] How do I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 please? [18:53] so when I connect from my windows laptop I used that number and it worked just fine [18:53] cowsquad, are you sure your ISP alows to connect to 4344 from outside ? [18:53] Adamantus: "do-release-upgrade" in console OR use update manager gui [18:53] hi, is there a good media center that DOESN'T USE GPU and has a youtube plugin? === zhurai is now known as zhurai-tsuki [18:53] let me get back to you in like 10 min alexfpms [18:53] sorry, there is one, I read first [18:53] !upgrade | Adamantus [18:53] Adamantus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [18:54] alexfpms: the most isp's don't block any ports, you just need to port-forward === zhurai-tsuki is now known as zhurai [18:54] sfan5, "No new release found" [18:54] weird! [18:54] same here [18:54] try "sudo apt-get update" [18:54] sfan5, it depends mine blocks almost everything [18:54] mine blocks nothing :) [18:54] ok [18:54] Adamantus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS [18:54] Adamantus: you must enable normal release upgrades [18:55] weird the nvidia driver from software centre didn't seem to install anything [18:55] trism, Will have a look in a minute thanks. === 16SAAE71I is now known as CookieM_ [18:56] 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)? [18:56] sfan5, and have to activate it from the isp web site and i sign an agreement that they are not responsible for in case of intrusion into my system [18:56] 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] antivirtel: is burning a new cd really that much of an issue? [18:56] The only clue is: Run ./secondlife from the installation directory to start Second Life. [18:57] The top and side of the desktop* [18:57] So it should work [18:57] tech2 it is unnecesarry & not very environment friendly [18:57] antivirtel: use a CDRW instead of a CDR? [18:57] fred_F: you could write a script: "cd $secondlife_install_dir && ./secondlife" [18:58] 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] The readme says also: The Second Life Linux client can entirely run from the directory you have [18:58] unpacked it into - no installation step is required. [18:59] im keep getting crash report detected and it wont STOP! [18:59] Necro: that's used to be the "panel" in old versions of GNOME, just add a new one. [18:59] 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] 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. [19:00] 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] overclucker can you explain that debootstrap? [19:00] hola [19:00] halo [19:00] nhhgghhgh [19:01] tech2 you may right, otherwise the problem is, that I have no (working) RW at home... I have to buy one :) [19:01] perdó [19:01] Walex: how do I add a new one? [19:01] hola [19:01] 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] why is it on my iso (cd) of backtrack the internet is much faster than on my ubuntu hdd ?? [19:01] !debootstrap [19:01] 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] Necro: can't remember, probably right click on the desktop [19:01] trism, It's detecting the upgrade now,thanks.

[19:04] anyone know how to get telepathy-haze and pidgin-sipe working in Quantal? === scouts is now known as bfg [19:05] hello, which of nvidia driver shoud I choose in additional drivers? [19:05] i have got 3, and two of them are nearly the same [19:05] matt____, you can choose updates [19:06] matt____, they are more recent [19:06] You mean nvidia-current-updates? [19:06] sudo chmod -R 644 var/www/*.php to give recursively permissions only to php files? [19:06] matt____, yes [19:06] thank you [19:07] and how can I change nickname in this ? [19:07] matt____: do you mean irc? [19:07] yeah [19:07] themhz: you don't need the -R if you ar eonly working with files in the same dir [19:07] /nick the_name_you_want [19:07] themhz: no probably something more like find var/www -name '*.php' | sudo xargs chmod 644 [19:08] don't work Sfan5 [19:08] doesn't* [19:08] oh thank you guys ardchoille and tech2 [19:09] themhz: also, you need to be careful when chmod'ing recursively because removing the execute bit from directories will lock users out [19:09] themhz: if there's a chance you have a directory named .php then you'll probably also need to add -type f to the find command [19:09] aha [19:10] tech2: good advice [19:10] fred_F: FloodBots are bots, programmes that protect the channel [19:10] themhz: best generally to run the find by itself to see what it will affect [19:11] tech2, sorry directory with name .php? [19:12] or file [19:12] 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] themhz: something like /var/www/mydir.php/anotherdir [19:12] themhz: a dir with a dot in the name [19:12] oh ok [19:12] 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] a ok [19:12] ic [19:13] I was not familiar with these types of folders. Thanx [19:14] is there a tool in linux to watch what processes/threads a process creates? what files it touches ? etc? [19:14] what is a pastbin? [19:14] 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] !paste | GNUbuntu [19:14] themhz, lol there is no different folder types [19:14] sorry, typo, that's -type f or -type d [19:14] !paste | fred_F [19:14] helllo [19:14] GNUbuntu: sorry - meant that for someone else [19:14] is anyone here?

[20:12] ThinkT510, ardchoille: Thanks for the help. [20:12] pinnerup: try gnome-commander, I was surprised at how nice it is [20:12] Why is it not an option? [20:12] pinnerup: you're welcome [20:13] becuase the machine does not have a cd drive [20:13] Anyone know whether it is worth updating to 12.10 [20:13] well, i dont know [20:13] Oh, I got that, when you go to tty num lock is automatically off but diode on keyboard is still on. Everything works now :D Thanks a lot! [20:13] ardchoille: I've tried ten or so orthodox file managers (including Gnome Commander) before I settled down with Double Commander as the one best suiting my tastes (and most alike to Total Commander). [20:14] pinnerup: ah, I'll have to check out DC, hopefully their devs will release a package for 12.10 soon [20:14] Is 12.10 worth getting [20:14] they want us to pay for ubuntu 12.10?

But when i put it in to boot it windows booted instead -_- any ideas? [20:42] hello! [20:42] Hi, just after installing ubuntu 12.10 my GUI wouldn't load anymore, except for the background. I fixed it by untinstalling fglrx - (which I read online) but does that mean I currently have no graphic drivers installed? [20:42] I have a question about sound inputs [20:42] User123, numlockx is just an app that swiches thes numlock states when you call it [20:42] when I boot up, ubuntu is automatically configured to mute sound input.

[20:45] Sebastian719 with wath [20:45] User123, yeah it depends of the keyboard, PC/2 or USB [20:46] !ubuntu [20:46] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [20:46] !info [20:46] oops :DD [20:46] never: updated kernel, packages, new unity, new features, as usual [20:46] I have a linux software raid. Lost a drive. RMA'd. Got a drive back. Set everything up... but ran into trouble. [20:46] tyrog thanks :D u think an update would be good? [20:47] 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] never: depends if you want stability or more recent packages. Although 12.10 is stable for me [20:47] User123, i have an usb keyboard and it works without modifying init scripts [20:47] "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] never: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbrOrR3wctc [20:47] 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] Mine is usb too! [20:48] tyrog i just need ubuntu for webdesigning on my netbook [20:48] its just hopeless for support i think :DD [20:48] oops [20:48] not hopeless [20:48] helpful [20:49] never: you don't use Ubuntu as your main OS? You should :) [20:49] never doesn't really need ubuntu...do you? [20:49] tyrog i do - i dont use others than linux.. but i use elemantary os too [20:50] User123, ok i thought it modifies the script [20:50] geek4ever i need.. but 12.04 is only on my netbook [20:51] User123, i was wrong, i've no read it, just saw sed ... witch is stream editor [20:51] tyrog what ubuntu is the best, u think? [20:51] User123, so with sed you can modify text files [20:51] never: i only tested ubuntu 12.10, will test kubuntu 12.10 soon [20:51] there is no better ubuntu i think, the best is the one that you like more [20:51] never: Lubuntu is super slick, no messing. Down to business [20:51] tyrog i tested 10.04 , 11.04 and 12.04... [20:51] hello! [20:52] I have a question about sound inputs [20:52] ActionParsnip tell me more about Lubuntu please :DD [20:52] when I boot up, ubuntu is automatically configured to mute sound input. How can I change this? [20:52] never: 11.04 is dead real soon [20:52] is there a daemon to stream videos over tcp? like some mpd equivalent?? [20:52] ActionParsnip i know thats why i use 12.04 now [20:52] 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] never: its (ubuntu - Gnome - Unity - compiz) + lxde + openbox [20:53] tyrog i use Elemantary OS and ubuntu right now ;) [20:53] wols_: thanks for your help last night, universal usb installer does not clear the mbr nor remove the contents of any partitions, i got 12.10 up with the mini.iso on my stock mini9 [20:53] ActionParsnip sounds good [20:53] alexfpms, so where do I find init scripts and how do I modify them? [20:54] User123, did you try "Enabling NumLock for Virtual Consoles (TTYs)" [20:55] trying now. [20:55] . [20:55] User123, you can modify rc.local using gedit: gksu gedit /etc/rc.local [20:56] some persons here that do webdesign with ubuntu? [20:56] never: I use bluefish for web design [20:56] never: if you want to upgrade boot the live cd first on your netbook to see if it runs flawlessly [20:56] never i use kompozer [20:56] never: live usb, of course :) [20:56] ardchoille i use gedit ^^ [20:57] never: Amazing xD [20:57] tyrog yeah.. no way for live cd :DD [20:57] I paste that code before "exit 0" right?

[21:37] 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. [21:38] 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.

[21:39] 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] ardchoille: Should I type that in the terminal? [21:39] rtgkid, it exists but it is not recommended: compiz-plugins-extra compiz-plugins-main [21:40] rtgkid: ask in #compiz too [21:40] terafl0ps: and of course you didn't install the php interface for vbox (neither did I) [21:40] rtgkid: yes, that will help you find all compiz plugins packages [21:40] ardchoille: And thanks for the reply. [21:40] rtgkid: from that output you can choose what to install [21:40] guntbert, lol no. That would be useful about now. [21:41] alexfpms, but keep in mind compiz-plugins-extra compiz-plugins-main are transitional pakages [21:41] whast up [21:41] 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] alexfpms: thank you for that info. rtgkid take note of that [21:41] terafl0ps: last crazy idea: can you get the guest to "hibernate"? [21:41] Hmm. Maybe. [21:42] What are the differences between (x/k)ubuntu-restricted-extras packages? [21:42] rtgkid: reboot is rarely needed in Linux, log out/in may be needed [21:42] rtgkid: got the compiz-plugins-extra installed? [21:42] ardchoille: That must have been Windows I was thinking of :) [21:42] :) [21:42] ardchoille: Yes, I do. [21:42] ardchoille, i mean they can cause some bugs, they are not recommended. But if it is not important so, no problem [21:43] Hey guys, I'm trying to increase the size of a lvm partition with gparted. Although when I right click the "resize/move" option is disabled. [21:43] rtgkid: I'm not on a 12.10 machine ATM so I was hoping things weren't too diff from 12.04 and 12.10 [21:43] ardchoille: Thanks for your help! I'll log out and back in... [21:43] kk [21:44] look and feel changes in 12.10? [21:44] Ubunturific: I didn't see much in the way of look changes [21:45] Ubunturific: no [21:45] just some little twitches [21:45] hey guys, I just upgraded to 12.10 and want to remove the music suggestions under "More suggestions". How do I do this? [21:45] Ubunturific, yes if you come from say 6.04 [21:45] like grouping the me-menue with the shutdown menue [21:45] alexfpms: That was Dapper Drake, the first LTS release.. super rock-solid :) [21:46] What are the differences between (x/k)ubuntu-restricted-extras packages? [21:46] fizk_: either remove unity-lens-shopping or disable the online results in System Settings/Privacy [21:46] um [21:46] what are you talking about [21:46] I had 5.04 [21:46] i have it in my closet [21:46] an official CD [21:46] from 5.04 [21:46] Jimster480-L: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:46] guntbert, Good idea, but it won't work for me. [21:46] The following items are preventing hibernation on this system. [21:46] The system firmware does not support hibernation. [21:46] ardchoille, lol yes but look& feel changed from that :D [21:46] alexfpms: indeed [21:46] fizk_: remove the unity-scope-musicstores package [21:47] Here's a link to what I'm looking at, again I'm trying to resize /dev/sda5 to the unallocated space I have. [21:47] http://i.imgur.com/AoZXR.png [21:47] terafl0ps: I feared as much - and as I said that was probably the last crazy idea - sorry [21:47] k1l_, thanks, found another way: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help/shopping.html [21:48] fizk_: that will remove all the online searches. you didnt specify that :) [21:50] Stmeter, so ? [21:50] alexfpms: The move/resize button is disabled. [21:51] Hi all. My "md" setup just complained that one of the disks is going bad. 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? Do I have to just unplug things until the bad one disappears? [21:53] guys i have a question. what is the diffrence bash_profile and bashrc [21:54] hi, I am trying to enable focus follows pointer under 12.04/Unity, any tips? [21:54] Stmeter, ah ok [21:54] alexfpms: Any idea? [21:55] alienaut: the bash man page describes it well. One gets run first, and not if the other exists, and if it's a log-in shell. Or something. [21:55] hello [21:55] alienaut: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1528/bashrc-or-bash-profile [21:55] Stmeter, in fact i've already done it before. just don't remember the commands [21:55] thank you, cgtdk [21:56] I was trying to remember the link for that [21:56] cgtdk: just found that link too [21:56] can anyone point me to the 'best practice' way of adding static IPs (i have a /27) to /etc/network/interfaces or something, i haven't used ubuntu in a few years [21:56] :) [21:56] i assume it's not still eth0:0 :1 :2 etc [21:56] alexfpms: Could you point me to a tutorial? [21:57] i am having a big problem with the ubuntu 12.10 installer. I have tried nomode already. the bottom portion of the screen is cut off. Just enough to block the buttons. [21:57] hazardous: if you want sub interfaces, yes use that [21:57] hazardous: it may be, still. I don't know if you can claim a range. /etc/network/interfaces is the place to do it. [21:57] Stmeter, if i find it [21:57] I have tried just simply moving the dialogs up. [21:57] ActionParsnip: i mean, should i be using something like if-up ip route alias whatever === erkan^ is now known as erkie [21:57] danman1453: You should try using the network installer. It doesn't have a fancy GUI, but it's quite easy to use. [21:57] because i see that a lot more now [21:57] or however it's done [21:58] as opposed to just defining a lot of auto eth0:1 etc [21:58] network installer? [21:58] danman1453: and it doesn't screw up because of terrible graphics drivers [21:58] please i have some problems with my dash board which can't find applications === olav is now known as phluks [21:58] cgtdk: fyi N-I is called "mini" see "/msg ubottu mini" for details. danman1453 [21:58] additionally, what is the way to reload networking? i used to just use /etc/init.d/networking restart but apparently that is not a thing anymore [21:58] danman1453: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:59] zykotick9: that bot has an answer to everything, doesn't it? :) [21:59] cgtdk: almost :) [21:59] thanks. checking it out now. === charlie is now known as Guest45151 [21:59] qengho, cgtdk thanks! [22:00] hello, im going mad! [22:00] Why Hello [22:00] Is there a very easy way for me to copy folders to /usr/ [22:00] it says i dont have permission [22:00] i know it has to do with Sudo and root [22:00] i just dont know how to come around it [22:01] Radikal08: You need to put sudo before your command [22:01] but i am not doing it from the terminal [22:01] Your new to ubuntu arent you [22:01] Stmeter, i think you can't resize it because it is mounted [22:01] No and yes, i used to have it years ago [22:01] alexfpms: already checked and it's unmounted [22:02] what is a good way to implement RADIUS on Ubuntu 12.04 and what type of encryption can I use? [22:02] as well as the fact that the unmount button is disabled too. [22:02] open nautilus with sudo permissions [22:02] Stmeter, but in your image there is mount point [22:02] sudo nautilus on your terminal [22:02] alexfpms: I see, how would unmount it? [22:02] marouane: gksudo for nautilus [22:02] !gksudo [22:02] 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) [22:03] marouane: don't use sudp for GUI apps [22:03] Stmeter, i suppose your system is in it, isn't it ? [22:03] alexfpms: I'm booting from a live cd on my server. [22:03] Marouane: THANK you [22:03] it worked! [22:04] Stmeter, sudo umount /dev/sda5 [22:04] marouane: i hope you noticed the !gksudo factoid above! DO NOT use sudo with GUI apps. [22:05] alexfpms: umount: /dev/sda5: not mounted [22:05] Stmeter, did you refreshed gparted ? [22:05] Stmeter, ctrl + r [22:05] I haven't, hold on. [22:06] Does anyone know a good way to implement radius for ubuntu? [22:06] alexfpms: same problem [22:06] Stmeter, it still has the mount point ? [22:07] alexfpms: it does [22:07] crazyns: "implement RADIUS"? [22:07] Stmeter, try sudo umount umount /dev/mapper/par_name [22:07] anyone knows how to start minimized pidgin on startup -- i think commad... [22:07] Stmeter: are you trying to resize for a livecd? if so, turn swap off first - "sudo swapoff -a" should work. [22:08] anyone had this problem with cheese before http://pastebin.com/aEVZYmx0 [22:08] Stmeter, /dev/mapper/name_you_see_as_mount_point [22:08] alexfpms: two unmounts, or one? [22:08] umounts* [22:08] 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. [22:09] radius is a way to authenticate users for wireless Internet using wpa2 Enterprise [22:09] Stmeter, just try sudo umount /dev/ma... [22:09] got it [22:09] lol [22:09] alexfpms: not found [22:10] Stmeter: to see what is currently mounted, from terminal type "mount" [22:10] anyone know command for start minimized pidgin on startup? [22:10] hello?/ [22:10] does anyone know when steam is coming to linux [22:11] Stmeter, not found ?? strange [22:11] does anyone know when steam is coming to linux [22:11] anyone [22:11] dev__: that's not an ubuntu support question - and thus is offtopic here. see "/msg ubottu ot" for details. [22:11] alexfpms, zykotick9: what is currently mounted: http://i.imgur.com/QAyOn.png [22:11] who cares it has to do with linux and affects millions [22:12] Stmeter: /cow overlayfs -- what are you using? oh, this is from live cd i take it. did you disable swap yet? [22:12] not yet. I'll try. [22:12] dev__, watch steams page and also Ubuntu software center. I know that they will be at UDS but this is a little off topic [22:12] dev_ http://steamforlinux.com/ [22:13] I just installed kde-config-tablet, found the config utility in Settings and it shows "D-Bus connection to the kded daemon not available.

[22:15] Stmeter, ok just tried myself, when you unmount a lvm partition it continues to show mount point [22:15] I thought that it was wrote into unity ? [22:15] alexfpms: Ah I see.

[22:18] Stmeter, i think gparted does not support resizing when partition uses lvm [22:18] Mfinab: fyi, (i don't think) you can use nvidia-propritary at the same time as ati-propritary. because you use ati, i won't see your posts further - so don't reply to me. [22:18] alexfpms: Well how about that. What is the alternative?

[22:35] is it a waste of time to learn python if you plant to try c++ someday? [22:35] plan* [22:35] oldos2er: do you see a clear "bluetooth" entry in /etc/init/ ? if so, just rename it foo.disabled [22:35] crazyns: If you want to learn c++ oneday then you should try something similar such as Java. [22:35] crazyns no [22:35] Mfinab: you'll get a better idea with this link http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Set_Up_Multiple_Monitors [22:35] the more you know the more you can do === Harry is now known as Guest40704 [22:36] crazyns: even if you are going to learn c++ python has lots of uses where c++ is overkill [22:36] zykotick9: there is a bluetooth.conf [22:36] Mfinab: I think one of the keys is to get 2 working (like me) with the propriatory drivers, then add the next video card and continue. [22:36] eryhp222, I would pick a language that is good at doing the sorts of things you are interested in. === Guest40704 is now known as harryrf [22:36] Npc, good point thanks [22:36] oldos2er: so rename that to bluetooth.conf.disabled [22:36] yea go the java / c++ route [22:37] zykotick9: sweet, thank you [22:37] For example, if you like the web, JavaScript is probably a good place to start. [22:37] Stmeter, there is valuable data on sda5 ? [22:37] alexfpms: yup [22:37] Stmeter, so it is important to not destroy it ? [22:37] 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] Izinucs: well I currently have 2 monitors that is working with the major video card [22:38] Mfinab: here's the youtube video of a 6 monitor setup on 9.04, an earlier release. http://youtu.be/c1TOAXAbOAI [22:38] alexfpms: yeah, it would be pretty bad if it's gone [22:38] will check this Izinucs thanks [22:38] Mfinab: email the guy [22:38] Stmeter, ok so the best solution is to create a new partition from the free space and add it to lvm [22:38] what kind of things is python and perl good for [22:39] alexfpms: alright, how would I do that? [22:39] 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] gengho, thanks [22:39] 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] thats what i was thinking [22:39] Stmeter, choose free space in cfdisk [22:39] Izinucs: he must have the exact same video cards 3 times [22:39] Multbrelch: (personal opinion) but using nvidia.com's driver on ubuntu is a bad idea [22:39] Stmeter, then new [22:39] Mfinab: that certainly helps. [22:39] crazyns: so, if you learn C++, learning Python is minor. It's like going from Spanish to Italian. [22:40] alexfpms: primary or logical? [22:40] lol [22:40] zykotick9, why? [22:40] Stmeter, sda5 is already logical [22:40] Stmeter, so logical [22:40] Multbrelch: well, for one, nvidia.com's driver is NOT supported here... or in ubuntu OS [22:40] Izinucs: I'll have to buy 2 other same video cards.. :/ [22:40] alexfpms: alright, sda6 is created [22:40] zykotick9, really [22:40] Stmeter, set type of the partition to 8E [22:41] 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] Mfinab: or at least the same manufacturer [22:41] alexfpms: where is that? [22:41] crazyns: it will use a similar mentality, flow / functional thinking etc though [22:41] Mfinab: it's tough mixing ati and nvidia together. [22:41] Stmeter, you were too fast [22:41] Izinucs: agree that it would help, [22:41] alexfpms: There wasn't an option to do that. [22:41] Npc, yes but would it be easier to learn c++ starting off or python [22:41] trism, I see ... hmmm anybody has some experiences. [22:41] ? [22:41] Stmeter, there is choose type [22:41] Only options there were: primary or logicial and disk size. [22:41] Multbrelch: oh seems 304.41 is also there, nvidia-current-updates [22:41] How do I restart the wacom tablet daemon? [22:42] Izinucs: for having 3x HD7850 ati video card would cost me another 450 bucks [22:42] Multbrelch: sorry 304.43 [22:42] 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] Multbrelch: there's also the ppa by xswat that has the latest drivers. [22:42] alexfpms: I found the type screen but there isn't one for "8E" [22:42] Mfinab: ouch.. do you need that much horsepower? [22:42] crazyns: if you start with c++ the syntax may be hard to cope with at the beginning [22:42] Multbrelch: fyi, PPAs are also, NOT supported in #ubuntu [22:42] crazyns: python will get you further sooner, and trick you into thinking you're a better programmer than you are. [22:42] Stmeter, look for LVM Linux [22:43] zykotick9, sorry for asking ;-) [22:43] crazyns: a + b is the same as b + a. Just pick one. [22:43] alexfpms: http://i.imgur.com/t8wVV.png [22:43] 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] Mfinab: do the research before loosing cash out of your wallet [22:44] Stmeter, and when you press continue ? [22:44] alexfpms: it asks what type I want [22:44] Stmeter, strange it must like that: http://www.markus-gattol.name/misc/mm/si/content/cfdisk_1.png [22:45] hold on === scouts is now known as Xenopus [22:45] 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] Mfinab: also make sure that the cards will be compatible with the same driver you currently have installed. [22:46] what's the point of life? [22:46] alexfpms: okay I got it [22:46] I made it 8E [22:46] 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] Stmeter, then "write" it [22:47] anyone think i should run LOIC on this ip "192.168.1.1 [22:47] 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] Hi ! [22:47] Mfinab: using a nick as the first word in a line will highlight your message to the person you're sending it too..

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

Here's the one from running apt-get dist-upgrade http://pastebin.com/jHE8czpr [22:53] crazyns, u could script that, but why? you can just use AD replication to keep them in sync [22:53] Izinucs: I found it, 29$ each, HD 5450 from ATI, will buy 2 of the Monday. Let see what's gonna happend [22:53] apt-get -f dist-upgrade, even [22:54] Izinucs: they use the same driver [22:54] johnjacobjingerh: AD = active directory?

What's next? [23:02] I'm afraid to say it, but it's currently running smoothly, TJ- :D [23:02] There was a similar problem with some georgian fonts earlier, but it hasn't gotten to that [23:03] Two versions of the same font package were providing the same file [23:03] That might have been with plain apt-get upgrade, though [23:03] zykotick9: i found this command in french ubuntu documentation !

[23:08] dante123: start with your wireless card (or are they both cards?). are they usb or pci? [23:08] they are both pci cards [23:09] 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] 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] marouane: do you want to install spotify? [23:09] dante123: that's why finding the chipset is important for directions ;) [23:10] dante123: check the compatibility charts?

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] itatitat: why are you involving cron if your issue is with apache? [23:45] so software center is more non-technical with pretty pictures etc. :) [23:45] somethinginteres, Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO? [23:46] 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?
