| XMLnewbi | i installed amd64 btw | 00:54 |
| puff | Jordan_U: Oddly, the thumb drive shows up in the file browser and in mount output, but when I do "ls /media/" it doesn't show up there. | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | XMLnewbi: do you use a switchable video chip? | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: You may not be able to do this during an upgrade, but try running "sudo apt-get clean". | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | XMLnewbi: did you fully update? | 00:54 |
| XMLnewbi | fully updated | 00:54 |
| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: so before i started the upgrade i uninstalled old kernels, except for 1 older one, but i guess i it's my only option.. could you help me? | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | XMLnewbi: do you use a switchable video chip? | 00:54 |
| XMLnewbi | i have twin 550 nivida cards SLI | 00:54 |
| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: I was wondering whether functions like apt-get clean would affect the installation | 00:55 |
| XMLnewbi | not sure what that is | 00:55 |
| Xethron | anyone here use backup software? Looking for something that will backup my files automatically | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | XMLnewbi: did you install the nvidia-current package to get the nvidia proprietary video driver? | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: Sure, but try "sudo apt-get clean" first as it's completely safe. If it can't be safely done during the upgrade it will simply refuse to do it (and print an error message). | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | Xethron | 00:55 |
| ubottu | Xethron: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 00:55 |
| alusion | ActionParsnip, echo ${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS} > /tmp/.umf_alusion | 00:55 |
| brianjcohen | ActionParsnip: still no dice. Ran that, got back a whole list of unmet dependencies and another suggestion to run apt-get install -f. Ran that, got the same parse error for /var/lib/dpkg/status and mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable package instances present. | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Xethron, There is a backup app installed I use grsync persoanally | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: that's it? | 00:56 |
| alusion | yeah | 00:56 |
| XMLnewbi | I was able to get to command line and apt install install nivida drivers, didnt seem to work | 00:56 |
| crazydip | EuropaCar: i would not apt-get clean during install/upgrade that seems crazy since it will remove all packages from cache -- packages that you need for the install/upgrade... chances are apt-get won't even let you do it though | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: what is the output of: echo ${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS} | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | alusion: maybe the file is used by something | 00:56 |
| XMLnewbi | I reinstalled windows and going to try to VMware | 00:56 |
| Xethron | thanks ActionParsnip and wilee-nilee | 00:56 |

| bjrohan | Hey there. I have a successful ssh between computers behind my modem/router. I also have a dyndns hostname which I had working before I reinstalled linux on my machines, so I presume my modem/router is set up okay, what may I be missing? | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: is openssh-server installed on the system? | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: is the IP of the sytstem the same as the one you are forwarding to in the router config? | 00:57 |
| crazydip | Jordan_U: are you saying that apt-get knows what packages are needed for the install/upgrade and does not clean them when doing apt-get clean? how does it know what's needed? | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: apt and dpkg setup locks to prevent one operation from interfering with another. Since apt-get let you do it, it was a safe thing to do at that time. Does it appear to have freed a signifigant amount of space? | 00:58 |
| bdcs | If anyone could help me with my question on AskUbuntu I would greatly appreciate it! http://askubuntu.com/questions/203872/unable-to-connect-to-wifi-with-broadcom-bcm4312 | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | brianjcohen: do you have PPAs enabled? | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | bdcs | 00:58 |
| ubottu | bdcs: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 00:58 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: yes openssh server is installed, on the computer I am on, which is also NOT port redirected | 00:59 |
| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: well apt-get clean freed up plenty of space, so it worked on that end, but i should note that the upgrade was paused at a certain point | 00:59 |
| brianjcohen | ActionParsnip: I believe I had some, but I know that one of the early steps in the dist-upgrade process is to disable third-party sources... | 00:59 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: What are PPAs? | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: 3rd party sources for packages | 00:59 |
| bdcs | ActionParsnip, thank you for the reply. I have followed that guide for my particular card to no avail =( | 00:59 |
| crazydip | what kernel version is in 12.10? | 00:59 |
| zykotick9 | !info linux-image | 00:59 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.0.14.14 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 31 kB | 00:59 |
| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: the upgrade had paused to ask me if i wanted to make changes to a certain file.. and while it still awaited my input I did apt-get clean.. hope that doesn't affect things | 00:59 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: yes | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: No, that doesn't affect things at all. | 01:00 |
| crazydip | zykotick9: thanks! | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bdcs: if you run: sudo iwlist scan eth3 do you see a lot of devices on the same channel? | 01:01 |

| hualet | hello everybody, i'm using Linux Deepin, a distribution derived from ubuntu, my question is why my grub can fullscreen? | 01:01 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: How much free space do you have now? | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bdcs: does the system have a switch or shortcut to enable / disable the wifi? | 01:02 |
| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: 1.2GB now | 01:02 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: disable the 3rd party then retry SSH though the internet? | 01:02 |
| bdcs | ActionParsnip, It does have a switch and it is on. I can see WifI networks | 01:02 |
| jrib | hualet: this channel is only for support with official ubuntu versions; you should seek support with Linux Deepin in Linux Deepin's official support channels | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hualet: spinoff distributions aren't supported here | 01:02 |
| bdcs | ActionParsnip, regarding iwlist, do you mean sudo iwlist eth3 scan ? | 01:02 |

| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: When you said 3rd party sources for packages, I took it to mean in my ubuntu package manager. If so, how will that effect getting ssh to work from the internet vs my intranet? | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | hualet: try #linuxdeepin | 01:03 |

| EuropaCar | Jordan_U: it says 2.2GB | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: if you have 3rd party sources, it can cause issues with the package system. The official packages wil work together, if you throw in some random package versions with who knows what dependancies, you may get issues | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | EuropaCar: Ok, so there is definitely space that can be saved from your home directory. | 01:05 |
| hualet | ActionParsnip, are you a linuxdeepin user? can you get my question solved? | 01:05 |

| ubottu | 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 | 01:44 |
| === krish is now known as Guest79164 | ||
| wastrel | does the minimal cd dump you into dselect after installing the base system ? | 01:44 |
| Guest79164 | aftee installing 12.04 | 01:44 |
| wonmin82 | ok i understand, i'm going to try to maximize dialog window, if it doesn't work, i will try to use minimal cd | 01:45 |
| wonmin82 | thank you very much | 01:45 |
| wastrel | wonmin82: also hold alt and click and drag | 01:45 |
| wastrel | try that too, you can click anywhere on the window while holding alt | 01:45 |

| Vbitz | I'm installing ubuntu server 12.10 on a hp proliant DL380 G5 with raid configured. This is rebuilding the server from vmware esxi. I'm nearly done with the install though coming to the install bootloader step installing it on the first harddrive results in a fatal error | 01:46 |
| Vbitz | where do I install the bootloader | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Is this FakeRAID or true hardware RAID? | 01:47 |
| Vbitz | hp smart array | 01:47 |
| cgtdk | wastrel: The net installer will allow you to select packages (such as ubuntu-desktop) in a menu. I've never encountered dselect so I cannot tell you if it is what you're "dumped into", but using the net installer should be straight forward. If you've ever used the alternative installer with the old releases, you'll know the net installer. | 01:47 |
| Guest79164 | help me for boot with updated 12.04 | 01:47 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: HP Smart Array | 01:48 |
| wastrel | cgtdk: sorry it was a joke on v. old debian installers which would dump you into dselect, a legendarily difficult ncurses based package manager | 01:49 |
| cgtdk | I'm not good with jokes | 01:50 |
| Random832 | oh god dselect | 01:50 |
| * Random832 has flashbacks | 01:50 | |
| ActionParsnip | wastrel: sounds like aptitude a little :) | 01:50 |
| cgtdk | ActionParsnip: What's wrong with aptitude? | 01:50 |
| blackshirt | aptitude was great tools | 01:51 |
| Vbitz | The hardware is certified for ubuntu | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: From quick searches it appears that's FakeRAID, and if in fact Ubuntu's installer lists the individual member drives at all then it's definitely FakeRAID. | 01:52 |
| blackshirt | They just was lack a little features | 01:52 |
| Random832 | so, how do you control what packages are considered manually installed for the purpose of apt-get autoremove | 01:52 |
| Random832 | dpkg --{get,set}-selections doesn't seem to do it | 01:52 |
| gabrieluk | hi, can I do sudo apt-get install exim4 , or do i need a ppa? ubuntu 10.04 | 01:52 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: the system it's self is installed and /target is filled it's just the bootloader | 01:52 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: What options is the installer presenting you for where to install grub's boot sector? | 01:53 |
| wastrel | dselect still available in the repos if you're interested in checking it out | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtdk: it doesn't handle multiarch so well | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptitude | cgtdk | 01:53 |
| ubottu | cgtdk: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 01:53 |
| blackshirt | yes, they just lack support of multiarch... | 01:54 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: It tried to install it automatically to /dev/cciss/c0d0 which is first entire disk | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | I use apt-fast it's badass | 01:54 |
| blackshirt | but, the others side, aptitude was great tools | 01:54 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Does it give you an option to chose anything else? If so, what are the other options? | 01:54 |
| under_my_shoes | :) | 01:54 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: If I select no to installing it to first drive then I can enter another point in /dev | 01:55 |
| XMLnewbi | What is the derictory apps are installed in? ect? | 01:55 |
| blackshirt | xmlnewbie, use dpkg -L to list of installed files | 01:56 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Does it give you a list of options or is it a text entry box where you have to type the path yourself? | 01:56 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: Text entry box which I'm on right now | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | XMLnewbi: they get installed all over, not just in one folder, only configs go in /etc | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Wow, that's surprising. Can you get to a terminal? | 01:58 |
| XMLnewbi | user/share/armory im trying to add a pyton files to the "Copy both of those into the Armory execution directory" | 01:58 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U Ctrl-Alt-F2 brings up busybox | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Vbitz: use ctrl+alt+t | 01:58 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: So you're using the Server install CD, correct? | 01:58 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: yeah | 01:58 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Unfortunately you're probably going to have to copy a very long device name... | 01:59 |
| alexfpms | XMLnewbi, execution dir has nothing todo with dinsall dir | 01:59 |
| alexfpms | XMLnewbi, *install dir | 01:59 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U yeah there are about 12 items in /dev/cciss | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: None of which you want. You want one of the much longer names in /dev/mapper/ :) | 02:00 |
| korben | goodmorning y'all | 02:00 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: /dev/mapper has 1 item control | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Odd. I wasn't expecting that. What device does "mount" say is mounted to /target/? | 02:01 |
| nshbrown | I can't seem to get these ports/hosts correct. I'm trying to setup ssh forwarding on the remote server port 4800 to a local port 80 so that I can visit remote:4800 and get the contents of the local webserver. | 02:02 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: /dev/cciss/c0d2p1 | 02:02 |
| nshbrown | I am using: ssh example.com -R 4800:localhost:80 -i my.pem -l ubuntu but it doesn't seem to do the trick | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Then it sounds like your RAID isn't being used, Ubuntu simply installed to one of the drives (c0d2). | 02:02 |
| vetch | I am trying to install ubuntu studio, but after booting the cd and being presented with the live/install menu my computer just reboots after selecting either option, any idea why or a possible fix? | 02:03 |
| sqwishy | I'm looking for a libssl1.0.0 package for lucid, it doesn't appear to be in the main repo or backports. Is there some other place I could check for it? | 02:03 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: the raid looks to be in use, there are 3 "whole" drives where the server has 7 physical drives | 02:04 |
| Vbitz | the 8th failed a little earlier due to age | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Ok, then it's true hardware RAID. | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: What happens if you enter /dev/cciss/c0d2 as the device for grub's boot sector to be installed to? | 02:05 |
| robertzaccour | I'm using recordmydesktop to record and its recording 1920x1072p instead of 1920x1080. Anyone know how to get it to record the 1080 part right? | 02:06 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: It worked | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: Great. It seems like that's probably where you wanted grub's boot sector anyway, correct? | 02:06 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: As I said before I'm rebuilding this server from esxi, esxi was installed on /dev/cciss/c0d0. | 02:07 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: By the way, I'm no longer certain that it's true hardware RAID, but hardware RAID or not that was the correct place for grub's boot sector to go. | 02:08 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: It's now trying to boot into esxi | 02:08 |
| Vbitz | I guess I'm better off installing ubuntu on the first drive | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: You can't configure the machine to boot off the second drive? | 02:11 |
| Vbitz | Yeah I'll go for that | 02:11 |

| RichardRaseley | Oh jeeze - my bad. I thought for some reason that apt-get automatically matched partial names, but it does require a wildcard. =X | 03:28 |
| cowsquad | hi everyone, I have a question. I just delete my partition with opensuse and now my ubuntu grub is all mess up. How do i fix my grub | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | RichardRaseley: did you run: sudo apt-get update | 03:32 |
| cowsquad | i am able to boot into my ubuntu 12.10 but I have like 6 choice in the boot promp. One is like ubuntu --class--gnu and so on | 03:32 |
| RichardRaseley | ActionParsnip: Yes, sorry this was caused by my own ignorance. I thought apt-get would return partial matches - but it does require a * to do so. | 03:32 |

| bretolius | I have a question about the grub2 implentation in Ubuntu 12.04. I have a dual boot system with windows 7, ubuntu us the primary OS. When I have #GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in my /etc/default file, grub boots to ubuntu whout showing a menu, and shows the menu when I hold down shift, however, the menu does not have my Windows 7 boot drive. If I have #GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false, Windows 7 shows up in the grub menu, but the menu is always shown, even tho | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: why not? | 03:47 |
| apoplectic | because the learning curve? | 03:47 |
| bretolius | apoplectic: the best way to know is to try some distros out and it will be clear which one you like | 03:48 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: do you want me to answer "why not" -- i don't think so.... why ask? | 03:48 |
| bretolius | its all about preference | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: over any other distro? | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: was aimed at apoplectic | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: thanks. i just learned a new word! | 03:49 |
| hualet | my computer always goes dead , how can i find out the problem? | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: if you want learning curve, give Gentoo a whirl | 03:49 |
| mih1406 | Hi, Can I use Ubuntu One to host my website files instead of using Hotfile? | 03:50 |
| apoplectic | gentoo? | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hualet: good to test RAM first. There is Memtest86+ in Grub in a default Ubuntu install | 03:50 |
| apoplectic | who said i WANT a learning curve? ActionParsnip | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: yes, configuring config files and spending hours compiling from source, teaches you a lot but its far from easy | 03:50 |
| mih1406 | User's of this website download MP3 files from the site and these are huge number and storage of MP3 files. | 03:51 |
| mih1406 | I mean Direct link. | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: Ubuntu is massively simple | 03:51 |
| zykotick9 | mih1406: IF you don't get an answer here, in a reasonable time. try #ubuntuone (or similar, use "/msg ubottu alis" for searching instructions) | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: you are the one mentioning learning curve, over other linux distros | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: i'm giving an example of a harder distro to setup to contrast with Ubuntu's simplicity | 03:51 |
| hualet | ActionParsnip, ok , i'll try | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: do you see what I mean | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: I never said you wanted a learning curve. When did I say that? | 03:52 |
| ahmad | anyone here familiar with distributed data services and openstack, hadoop, etc? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmad: tried in #ubuntu-server | 03:52 |
| apoplectic | gentoo has more of a learning curve, youre saying? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: yes, tahts all. I never said YOU wanted it. did I? | 03:53 |
| apoplectic | so why did you suggest Gentoo? | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | apoplectic: s I said earlier, You mentioned learning curve. Ubuntu is one of the eeasiest to setup and use. I was giving an example of a very hard distro to setup for the average user | 03:54 |

| cowsquad | bretolius, what was your question | 03:56 |
| ahmad | i am going to try unebootin | 03:56 |
| bretolius | cowsquad: it was long see 20:51 | 03:56 |
| bretolius | or that link | 03:57 |
| ahmad | i tried it within windows last time and it failed :| but | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmad: be sure to MD5 test the ISO you download | 03:57 |
| nicekiwi | how do I test if hardware acceleration is working? | 03:57 |
| bretolius | ahmad: doing the consistancy check is super important... I have wasted a lot of time trying to install off of a bad disk | 03:58 |
| ahmad | i know what md5 is but i haven't particularly tested a file before via cli before so if you can walk me through it i can try | 03:58 |

| ahmad | your right bretolius i have wasted some time before because of that still i haven't done that test yet | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iFlip: its version 12.04 of Ubuntu and is also LTS | 03:59 |

| bretolius | iFlip: he means 12.04 | 03:59 |

| bretolius | ahmad: i know in the text installer for 12.04 you can just test it right in the first menu you are shown, I would look around the live CD for 12.10 if thats the version you are using (since there is not text based installer for that version) | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | iFlip: installing Precise will give an OS supported til April 2017 | 04:01 |

| iFlip | ActionParsnip what extent of the support will be lost? | 04:01 |
| iFlip | ActionParsnip all support as in never again? | 04:01 |
| apoplectic | or any linux distro for that matter. | 04:01 |
| iFlip | Does precise have a quick LAMP installer built in? | 04:02 |

| bretolius | ahmad: So much jargon, so little practical example of what it all means (Not what you are saying, but how those projects talk about themselves). | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | iFlip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 04:14 |
| iFlip | ActionParsnip I've never been so close to an end date... last question, what happens if I'm still running server side at the end of 2015? Will I just stop receiving updates...? Will I ever be able to re-install it if need be after 2015? | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | iFlip: yes, no updates but the OS will continue to run. You will be able to upgrade to the next LTS in between | 04:15 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: restarted firefox, same issue. video proceeds to freeze with mouse input | 04:15 |
| ahmad | bretolius, yes thats why this research is hard.. the release of the openstack folsom confuses me even more :s | 04:16 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: i can pause anything by moving the mouse in a circle anywhere in most applets | 04:16 |
| iFlip | ActionParsnip Ahhh, ok - do you know if they are planning on releasing a newer version of a server release for Ubuntu? | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Valyrym: you could remove the package and install it manually by putting the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Valyrym: i dont use firefox so am not too sure | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | iFlip: sure, Quantal was released a few days ago (not LTS) | 04:17 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: so extract the shared object to firefox's plugin dir | 04:18 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: ill give that a shot | 04:18 |
| ahmad | i am creating a bash script to copy most of my configurations from one distribution to another.. besides ~/.gconf are there any files you would suggest backing up? | 04:18 |
| iFlip | ActionParsnip Thank you | 04:18 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: did yo see Eben Moglen's interviews on /. the last two days? he calls chrome by a different name ;) | 04:19 |
| ahmad | i have already included compiz config, vimrc, and other locations | 04:19 |
| cowsquad | does anybody know how to change the default colors for files in terminal? | 04:19 |
| Arivazhagan | hi people | 04:19 |
| ahmad | cowsquad, ~/.bashrc | 04:19 |
| Arivazhagan | how is ubuntu 12.10 is it worth a upgrade r stay with 12.04?? | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: who is "Eben Moglen"? | 04:20 |
| bretolius | I found a few show stopping bugs I didnt care to work out and rolled back myself | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Arivazhagan: depends if you like LTS-ness | 04:20 |
| ahmad | there are examples of some custom ones on the web plus you can easily configure these things yourself using the PS1 variable | 04:20 |
| bretolius | I would test out a live CD first Arivazhagan | 04:20 |
| wastrel | bretolius: what bugs | 04:21 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: doesn't matter. (actually he's a better representative of the "free" software movement then RMS) | 04:21 |
| bretolius | I will eventually jump, but only after it can see BOTH my cd drives without me having to do a lot of work | 04:21 |
| wastrel | oic | 04:21 |
| Arivazhagan | ActionParsnip, i am not a big fan of LTS | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: i don't listen toall the politics stuff that goes into linux. I just get on with using it | 04:21 |
| bretolius | wastrel: I got a lot of shutdown errors, and the boot sequence seemed off. Also, my CD drives were not working right. Lots of things were crashing too | 04:21 |
| bretolius | wastrel: where 12.04 was basically smooth sailing | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Arivazhagan: then if you upgrade you'll get all the latest gumf with all the whizzy new bells and stuff (assuming you use Unity) | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i know. that i can see repect you in the morning ;) | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: hehe | 04:22 |
| Arivazhagan | ActionParsnip, i am using Unity how is the performance some people saying it's slow | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: s/that/and/ ;) | 04:23 |
| bretolius | wastrel: also Unity seemed really sluggish on a fairly decent machine that runs perfectly under 12.04 | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Arivazhagan: all I can say is try it. It's ok here but I clean install each new release | 04:23 |
| bretolius | Arivazhagan: its great on 12.04, I had a bad 12.10 experience, though I dont know if I am a minority or not | 04:23 |
| ahmad | strange i haven't noticed any performance issues with unity, although i do have a good ultrabook | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Arivazhagan: it seems to be pretty individual | 04:23 |
| Arivazhagan | ActionParsnip, ya me too always do clean install | 04:24 |
| OerHeks | Arivazhagan, bretolius get a SSD, that boost up performance | 04:24 |
| bretolius | OerHeks: I have an SSD, boot times are great | 04:24 |
| Arivazhagan | OerHeks, ya SSD always super fast | 04:24 |
| cowsquad_ | anybody knows how to change the terminal colors for files? | 04:24 |
| bretolius | buhhh | 04:25 |
| ahmad | cowsquad_, please refer to i said a while back regarding ~/.bashrc and PS1 variable | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bretolius: try xpud, boots in 3 seconds on PATA HDD with single core CPU and 2Gb DDR2 RAM | 04:25 |
| pclov3r | Is it ture that ubuntu has poor AHCI support? | 04:25 |
| OerHeks | pclov3r, no. | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a technical standard defined by Intel that specifies the operation of Serial ATA (SATA) host bus adapters in a non-implementation-specific manner. | 04:26 |
| bretolius | ActionParsnip: my startup times are fine! :v | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | pclov3r: never had an issue | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | OerHeks: does 12.10 still have hibernate diabled by default? | 04:26 |
| pclov3r | I know what it is | 04:26 |
| Arivazhagan | cowsquad, Edit->ProfilePreference->Color | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | pclov3r: never said you didn't | 04:26 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: I had some trouble in 12.10 with some AHCI deveies, but I have no idea if its due to the AHCI support or not | 04:26 |
| OerHeks | zykotick9, yes, i thought so, cannot check it here, i am on Kubuntu. | 04:27 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: best to try a live CD or USB to see if your device is supported or has trouble | 04:27 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: it seems like a rendering issue, for example in soundcloud, audio plays, but the browser freezes graphically, and from input if i continue to move the mouse | 04:27 |
| pclov3r | tired to install but had major issues | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Valyrym: you may need an older flash, I've seen people with certain CPUs (I think it was CPU) that needed to use the older flash version | 04:28 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: can you tell from what? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Valyrym: have you tried chrome? | 04:28 |
| robertzaccour | my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? | 04:28 |
| pclov3r | i believe AHCI | 04:28 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: firefox jumps to 60% cpu and X jumps to 40% cpu | 04:28 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: when i move my mouse in a flash window | 04:29 |
| OerHeks | zykotick9, you can test if your machine is capable > http://ubuntuportal.com/2012/05/simply-way-to-enable-hibernate-feature-in-ubuntu-precise.html >> sudo pm-hibernate | 04:29 |
| pclov3r | not booting corretly to the cd drive umonuting itself | 04:29 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: can you try your controller in SATA Mode? | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | OerHeks: thanks! but i don't use ubuntu. | 04:29 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: also, did you do a consistancy check on the CD you were using? | 04:29 |
| pclov3r | cd was fine | 04:29 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: its a little less so outside of a flash window | 04:29 |
| pclov3r | i use UEFI tho | 04:29 |
| wastrel | cowsquad: seems to be related to dircolors, try man dir_colors | 04:29 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: you did a consistancy check on the contents of the disk? the download can get messed up too | 04:30 |
| OerHeks | zykotick9, it is disabled by default, too many machines doesn't support it properly | 04:30 |
| pclov3r | the disk was fiine | 04:30 |
| wastrel | oops | 04:30 |
| pclov3r | matched hashes | 04:30 |
| pclov3r | it was fine | 04:30 |
| pclov3r | but i installed debain without any problems | 04:30 |
| bretolius | sorry was unclear, because simply verifying a disk after burn tells you little about the cotents, had to check :) | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Valyrym: thats all I can recommend, maybe others can help | 04:30 |
| pclov3r | which uses much older packages | 04:30 |
| zykotick9 | OerHeks: thanks! sorry i didn't really mean to signal you out on that question! MY bad! sorry! | 04:31 |
| OerHeks | np | 04:31 |
| zykotick9 | s/signal/single/ | 04:31 |
| bretolius | pclov3r: did the live CD enviroment work right? | 04:31 |
| bretolius | see all your drives etc? | 04:31 |
| Valyrym | ActionParsnip: doing more research into this seems to be a kernel issue | 04:32 |
| pclov3r | it did yes | 04:32 |
| bretolius | it seems odd that it would not install then | 04:32 |
| pclov3r | i have to use AHCI | 04:32 |
| pclov3r | i refuse to use IDE or lagency mode | 04:32 |
| bretolius | i understand, but as a way to troubleshoot | 04:33 |
| bretolius | it can be a way to help isolate and issue | 04:33 |
| pclov3r | just was curious but it's ok as i'm on debian | 04:33 |
| robertzaccour | my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? | 04:33 |
| chid2 | how can I find out what OS my server is running? | 04:35 |
| chid2 | uname -o just says GNU/Linux | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | pclov3r: "lsb_release -a" might give you more detail | 04:36 |
| robertzaccour | I plugged my pc into my tv and it says its a dvi connection, but its an hdmi cable. could this be causing the 1920x1072 outputs from recordmydesktop? | 04:36 |
| ahmad | anyone has any good resources for cloud computing and in particular openstack, hadoop? any book suggestions would also be very appreciated :) | 04:37 |
| zykotick9 | pclov3r: fyi debian is supported in #debian or freenode or OFTC #debian officially | 04:37 |
| F^3 | Good evening | 04:38 |
| bretolius | ahmad: have you tried over at the #openstack channel? | 04:38 |
| OerHeks | ahmad, open stack > http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/ch_getting-started-with-openstack.html | 04:38 |
| bretolius | or #hadoop for that matter? | 04:38 |
| dengpan_ | hello | 04:38 |
| F^3 | Does anyone have any recommendations on a tile based WM I can setup easily on Ubuntu 12.04? | 04:38 |
| ahmad | bretolius, no :D ty i will do that right now! | 04:38 |
| dengpan_ | WM? | 04:38 |
| F^3 | Window Manager | 04:38 |
| dengpan_ | What? | 04:38 |
| bretolius | F^3: like xmonad? | 04:39 |
| robertzaccour | my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? I have a DVI connection if that helps | 04:39 |
| dengpan_ | oh | 04:39 |
| dengpan_ | no | 04:39 |
| dengpan_ | there seems not to be 1920x1072 | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | F^3: awesome is a tiling WM - but i wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy ;) it's what i use BTW. | 04:39 |
| dengpan_ | 1920x1080 is best | 04:40 |
| ahmad | bretolius, lol it honestly did not occur to me.. ty (its a bit late here i have been up for a while) | 04:40 |
| F^3 | zykotick9, Why not recommend it to anyone? | 04:40 |
| ahmad | ty so much | 04:40 |
| bretolius | ahmad: yeah, np I understand | 04:40 |
| bretolius | ahmad: glhf :) | 04:40 |
| ahmad | smoke break, afk | 04:40 |
| zykotick9 | F^3: it's the most difficult WM i've ever used. but the rewards are high - if that's what you are looking for... | 04:40 |
| bretolius | F^3: would you count xmonad a windowing WM? | 04:41 |
| bretolius | err you know what I mean | 04:41 |
| F^3 | bretolius, Yes. | 04:41 |
| robertzaccour | dengpan_, I know, my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop outputs video 1920x1072, making it impossible to edit | 04:41 |
| bretolius | F^3: people seem to really like that one, I for one, cant remember all the keyboard shortcuts | 04:42 |
| bretolius | plus those people run arch, at least the ones I know | 04:42 |
| Hilikus | i'm trying to copy files to my phone using rsync but it's failing because one of the files has a ? in the name. is there any way to tell rsync to replace it? i can't find anyuthing in the manual | 04:43 |
| bretolius | How is it failing? | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | Hilikus: i'd try using "foo" or 'foo' and see if it makes a difference... good luck. | 04:44 |
| Hilikus | what do yo mean zykotick9 ? | 04:44 |

| HackerII | SultansElephant> | 04:50 |
| lasher | I'm interested to know if I can turn a desktop edition into server edition without too much hassle? | 04:52 |
| lasher | is it a simple case of selecting the server kernel in synaptic? | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | bindi: Can you pastebin the output of "mplayer /path/to/file"? | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | bindi: Also, out of curiosity, why zfs rather than btrfs? | 04:54 |
| SultansElephant | lasher: you mean running a GUI on a server? | 04:54 |
| === cbeust is now known as zedshaw | ||
| lasher | SultansElephant: what I mean is: Holding on to 10.04 for as long as possible, and yes | 04:55 |
| Flynsarmy | in 12.10 if i have a nautilus window open (any directory) and i right click on teh nautilus icon in unity sidebar and click 'home folder', instead of opening the side folder it just focuses on the nautilus window that's already open. there a fix for this? | 04:55 |
| SultansElephant | lasher: you can dual boot i guess but for what purpose do you need the server | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | lasher: It's the GUI packages which aren't supported for as long, not the kernel. | 04:56 |
| lasher | I thought my main concern were security patches which would be included in the server edition | 04:57 |
| pgdac | Should i stick to 12.04 or just go for 12.10? | 04:57 |
| SultansElephant | pgdac: stick to 12.04 if youre not willing to do a fresh install imo | 04:57 |
| Space-Duck | Is antivirus needed for linux? If you are NOT downloading random files from the web and all your software comes from trusted repos. Are you relatively safe? | 04:58 |
| Jordan_U | lasher: And there won't be security patches to GNOME, Firefox, X, etc. | 04:58 |
| pgdac | SultansElephant: I have no problem installing fresh os, but the thing is that is it stable or giving problem ? | 04:58 |
| Jordan_U | !virus | Space-Duck | 04:58 |
| ubottu | Space-Duck: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 04:58 |
| SultansElephant | pgdac: its fine, ya | 04:58 |
| SultansElephant | its stable | 04:58 |
| Jordan_U | lasher: Why not upgrade to 12.04? | 04:58 |
| pgdac | SultansElephant: Thanks! One more question. Is there any super OS available for 12.10, i have no net connection always ? | 04:59 |

| chroot | hi, i want to learn php, is there good suggestions | 04:59 |
| Flynsarmy | chroot #php | 04:59 |
| lasher | Jordan_U: I am dual booting 10.04 and 12.04... 10.04 is still, imo, the greatest. I cannot suspend 12.04, plus the UI of Gnome 2 is so snappy and stable | 04:59 |
| chroot | ok, thanks Flynsarmy | 05:00 |
| pgdac | SultansElephant: I mean to say that is there any ubuntu 12.10 OS that has packages already installed in it | 05:00 |

| Jordan_U | pgdac: If you download the DVD image you can use it as a repository (all of main IIRC). | 05:00 |

| pgdac | Jordan_U: Please share the dvd image link | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | lasher: Have you tried Xubuntu or Lubuntu? Barring hardware issues Lubuntu 12.04 should be considerably more "snappy" than Ubuntu 10.04. | 05:01 |

| rhizmoe | what determines whether "copy" is ctrl-c or ctrl-shift c? | 05:11 |
| lobhater | Please assist if possible. I SSHed into my server, started a process in the background. Logged out to let the process do its job in the background. Now I have logged back in, executed the command ps -e to locate my process thinking i could just "fg 5553" to bring up the output again but no luck. How do I get access to the output of that command again? | 05:11 |
| rhizmoe | how did you bg the process? | 05:11 |
| lobhater | & at the ends | 05:11 |

| rhizmoe | it probably finished or crashed | 05:11 |

| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, gonna try istanbul. kazam and recorditnow don't work well on my end | 05:30 |

| ActionParsnip | ch405: Precise doesn't use the 3.6 kernel | 05:30 |
| Random832 | I haven't upgraded in a while, but I don't think they'd make a major change like that | 05:31 |
| robertzaccour | ActionParsnip, I know how to record video in ffmpeg, problem is I don't know how to record the audio with it. I'm stuck at ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -vcodec huffyuv -sameq screencast.avi so now I gotta figure out how to record audio from mic and audio from pc | 05:31 |
| ch405 | ActionParsnip: is it possible to upgrade to 3.6? | 05:31 |
| Random832 | ActionParsnip: actually it looks like even uqantal is on 3.5 not 3.6 | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ch405: yes but it won't be supported here as its an unofficial kernel | 05:31 |
| ch405 | ok | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Random832: indeed | 05:32 |
| Random832 | heh, I remember building kernels | 05:32 |
| Random832 | back when you wanted to have the stuff you need built into the kernel because no initrd, so going through a massive menu process | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Random832: yep: emerge -u world or emerge -u system ;) | 05:32 |
| Random832 | now everything's in modules | 05:32 |
| Random832 | my freaking ext2 fs is a module | 05:33 |
| Random832 | when did that happen? everything's on initrd and everyone's got a "generic" kernel | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Random832: makes sense imho :) | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Random832: its to accommodate as much stuff as possible | 05:34 |
| Random832 | and spending 30 minutes going through the menu to turn off all the modules you don't need would save you enough time to be worth it | 05:34 |
| ESphynx | ActionParsnip: yet it still epically fails =( | 05:34 |
| Random832 | because compiling a kernel took like half a day | 05:34 |

| yogeshthegenius | and if that doesn't work out report a detailed bug report at launchpad | 05:54 |
| crimsonmane | first of all, you should only use the latest release if you're willing to experience problem and submit reports so they can fix bugs. secondly, this forum has limits the view, so you absolutely should report it to the forums. perhaps someone finds a solution while you are sleeping. | 05:54 |

| ix_ | Jordan_U, I have a macbook pro here, but I erased everything on the HDD | 06:15 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I have Lubuntu 12.10 installed here | 06:15 |
| insomniac_lemon | Can someone here recommend good software that I can use to migrate my Windows drive onto a VM? Everything theat needs to be on windows to run freezes, and Clonezilla freezes in the VM when I try to use it to restore the image to it. | 06:16 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, so, basically, I have my laptop with Debian and Lubuntu and I have a Macbook pro which does not boot | 06:17 |
| htraki | insomniac_lemon: Virtualbox | 06:17 |
| insomniac_lemon | Nononono | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | insomniac_lemon: you can use vmware based tools to make a virtual system out of a physical system. Its called a P2V | 06:17 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: That trick did not work | 06:17 |

| insomniac_lemon | I don't want to have to sign up to get VMware's software | 06:18 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: First, use GParted to create a new GPT label on the USB drive you want to use (which will wipe all the data currently on the drive) and create one EFI System Partition. | 06:19 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, would it be easier to make a cd with ubuntu and boot it on that macbook pro? I have a few linux cds around but they don't boot on the thing and I thought the optical drive might have a problem | 06:19 |
| saotome | Can't seem to get the new webapps feature to work in chromium. I have installed both chromium and the unity related extension. Are there any extra steps involved? | 06:19 |

| insomniac_lemon | https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 06:20 |
| Flynsarmy | sigh. can't even boot anymore | 06:20 |
| saotome | insomniac_lemon, would love to use chrome. however, as I have read, only chromium and firefox support the webapp integration feature. | 06:20 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I've formatted it with gpt partition table, but what is that about efi? | 06:21 |
| insomniac_lemon | Oh, I see | 06:21 |
| insomniac_lemon | saotome, wait "So far, most of the engineers' efforts have focused on Firefox, but Pete Goodall (a product manager at Canonical) said Chrome and Chromium support is also in the works." | 06:22 |
| insomniac_lemon | So, maybe just not yet? | 06:22 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: For a USB drive to be bootable via EFI it needs to have an EFI System Partition, which is a FAT32 partition with a GUID of C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B (though GParted probably has a name for it rather than having you enter that GUID). | 06:23 |
| saotome | insomniac_lemon, hhmm... ok, I have read all over the place saying that chromium was supported. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the tip. | 06:23 |
| Vbitz | Jordan_U: The Magic SysRq Key trick did not work | 06:24 |
| Flynsarmy | http://www.imgur.com/pPxUB.jpeg anyone know why my boot would stop after reaching this point? | 06:25 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I can't figure out how to make that efi system partition | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: because you touch yourself at night | 06:26 |
| Flynsarmy | other times when I boot it shows ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) after a whole lot of lines of end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector xxxxxx | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: in all seriousness, ata errors are related to your hard drive and should likely be of moderate->severe concern | 06:27 |
| magn3ts | especially if your system isn't booting, though obviously the drives not dead since it's booting at all... what's your HDD setup? | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: I can't find an option in GParted to do it. Just create a FAT32 partition in GParted and then I'll tell you how to set its GUID properly via gdisk ("sudo apt-get install gdisk"). | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: I've had that, i replaced the HDD | 06:28 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, ok, fat32 partition created | 06:28 |
| Flynsarmy | magn3ts teh hdd is fine. it's a dell xps 15z (nvidia optimus) laptop. dual booting with with windows. windows is fine, my old ubuntu install was fine. it's just the new 12.10 install that's scrwing up | 06:28 |
| magn3ts | wait, wait, he shouldn't have to make the partition manually, just initializing the disk with a new GPT table should do that if the tool is worth its wait. | 06:28 |
| magn3ts | s/wait/weight | 06:28 |
| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: :/ hm | 06:29 |
| insomniac_lemon | I've already tried Disk2vhd and similar software, but it freezes windows probably because it doesn't like that it's trying to access partitions it is using. I'm definitely interested in software for Linux that can make a drive usable on a VM | 06:29 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I've installed gdisk | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: t | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Sorry, "sudo gdisk /dev/sdX" then type 't' and hit enter. | 06:30 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, no t | 06:31 |

| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: you using straight up ubuntu or any... major modifications? | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: You should have run "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" not /dev/sdb1. 'q' to quit. | 06:33 |
| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: I had something recently muck with my boot. 95% of the time booting would fail and it was due to a pkg that had been installed | 06:33 |

| Flynsarmy | magn3ts it's a clean install of 12.10. no modifications. all i've been doign is copying files from my backups folder into my home folder. my laptop has overheated a few times and shut down. i believe it's because i'm not killing the nvidia gpu so it's generating alot of heat | 06:34 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | Vbitz: It depends on your hardware. It's certainly worth trying. | 06:34 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, ok, I did that | 06:34 |
| magn3ts | Flynsarmy: o_0 weird. good luck with that | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Good, is it asking for a "hex code or UID"? | 06:35 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, oops, yes it did | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: 'ef00' then enter. | 06:35 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, ok, I did that, it still asks for a command | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: It should then report "Changed type of partition to 'EFI System'". If it does, then type 'w' and enter to write (after confirming with 'y' most likely). | 06:36 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, yes, it did that | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Ok, gdkisk should have quit and you should now have an EFI System Partition. | 06:37 |

You might have been confused by the fact that we ran "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb", but that's because while we were changing information about a partition, that information is stored in the partition table, and there is only one of those per device. | 06:49 |

| ix_ | Jordan_U, still nothing, I think I should start from scratch | 07:07 |
| GVRV | someone, a little help, please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 | 07:08 |
| effigy | hey... just finished upgrading to the new release. i guess i have a question. is there no more like toolbar with folders organizing the installed programs? i can start them through the terminal... but am i missing something? i see shortcuts for firefox, settings, etc.. in the new menu bar on the left | 07:13 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Everything looks correct at the moment though. | 07:13 |
| ix_ | well, I made the gpt partition table again, created a fat32 partition, sudo gdisk /dev/sdb, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/, sudo grub-install --removable --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ --efi-directory=/mnt/ | 07:15 |
| ix_ | unmounted /mnt, tried the usb stick in the macbook, but it did not take it | 07:16 |

| Jordan_U | ix_: OK, how old is this macbook? There was a short period of time a few years back where Apple was shipping 64 bit machines with 32 bit EFI firmware. | 07:17 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, it's from 2006 | 07:17 |
| seascoutliam | hi | 07:17 |
| arunkumar413 | the ubuntu dash doesn't show when i move the mouse to the left edge of the screen | 07:17 |
| foobArrr | 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. | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Then you might have a machine with that odd combination. | 07:21 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, so what should I do? | 07:22 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I see there is a grub-efi-ia32 | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Try "sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32-bin" and running "sudo grub-install --removable --target=i386-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ --efi-directory=/mnt/" | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: And the really nice thing is that since you've run both commands, this USB will (hopefully) be bootable from both 32 bit and 64 bit [U]EFI firmware. | 07:24 |
| robertzaccour | Could someone help me figure out how to record from my speakers? I already got my screen and mic with ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec huffyuv -sameq Screencast.avi just gotta get my speakers in there and I'm set. | 07:25 |
| effigy | can anyone tell me how to access a list of installed applications to run on the new release? i'm clueless, did they take that away? i'm running xchat by typing 'xchat' in the terminal.. but where is the list of programs to use? | 07:25 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, and I was thinking about deleting the old files :) | 07:25 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, ok, I did that | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Great now try booting from the USB. | 07:25 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, it still does not work, I think this thing is broken | 07:26 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Please pastebin the gdisk -l and find output again. | 07:27 |
| afro1 | hi guys, i'm trying to use webapps but no integration of gmail, do you have idea where is problem? i did install unity-webapps-*, chromium can't ask me on gmail.. | 07:27 |
| Lafiir | Is there a name or official description for the list of devices to play/record from shown in the Sound Settings window? | 07:28 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, you were right about the efi32, the model of this macbook pro is a1212 | 07:29 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/02KMAddV | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: That all looks right :( | 07:30 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, I thought so | 07:30 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, hit the super key, also known as the windows key, or click on the Ubuntu logo in the top left hand corner | 07:31 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, thank you for your effort, if you have any more ideas, I'm all ears :) | 07:31 |
| GVRV | Anyone, help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 please? | 07:31 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, the new interface is called Unity http://unity.ubuntu.com/ | 07:32 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: i see that, but it's a search... are you supposed to type in the program you want to run? there's no collected organized list? | 07:32 |
| bird_ | hi body :) | 07:32 |
| swex_ | can anybody explain me why my ubuntu ignoring module blacklist setting? | 07:32 |
| bird_ | I had got some trouble | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Try asking in #grub. Include in your question the exact grub-install command you ran, the model of mac, and that most recent pastebin link. Be patient though, #grub is low traffic but grub developers will often chime in if they're around so it's high quality. | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: And if you don't get an answer today try again tomorrow. | 07:33 |
| Nath | Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a TV tuner card install?? | 07:33 |
| bird_ | When I installed the Ubuntu I move the part of windows's C: | 07:33 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, There might be a list somewhere that I am not aware of, but the idea is to be able to find and start programs with few keystrokes. | 07:34 |
| bird_ | and now I can't enter my windows | 07:34 |
| bird_ | does anyone can help me ? | 07:35 |
| bird_ | ;( | 07:35 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: well, for example i don't know what audio programs are installed... how can i find out to listen to music? i know how to run a few programs from the terminal... but i don't remember everything that's installed. | 07:35 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, So if I want to set up my printer, and I don't know what the program is called that manages that, I start typing 'printer' and within a few key strokes the application that I was looking for pops up | 07:35 |
| GVRV | bird_, Try moving that part back, or I'm afraid to say, nothing much can be done | 07:35 |
| bird_ | GBRV,thank you ,but I had installed ubuntu after the windows' loader partion | 07:37 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, doing a search for 'music' worked pretty well for me, gave me rhythmbox, and a couple others | 07:37 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: wow, really? okay, i see what you're saying. that's a big leap. i haven't upgraded releases in a few years. do people like this? i think it's crappy. | 07:37 |
| bird_ | is there any tool or method to update the windows bootmbr now ? | 07:38 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, some people like it, some don't, but it looks like it is going to stay the default for a while | 07:38 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, my internet died and I'm back in Debian, it seems to work here for some odd reason | 07:38 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, gnome-shell serves a similar purpose, which I hear is now the default in Gnome 3 and up | 07:39 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: is there any sort of shortcut i can make to launch programs? this is kinda annoying. | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: Try asking in #grub. Include in your question the exact grub-install command you ran, the model of mac, and that most recent pastebin link. Be patient though, #grub is low traffic but grub developers will often chime in if they're around so it's high quality. And if you don't get an answer today, try again tomorrow. | 07:39 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, ok, thank you | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: One last test. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? | 07:40 |
| ix_ | Jordan_U, /dev/sdb1: UUID="FF09-D509" TYPE="vfat" | 07:40 |
| effigy | Jordan_U is a trooper, he really wants to help, god speed Jordan_U | 07:41 |
| kracekumar | I have a liveusb runs ubuntu, I am able to boot in normal pc, but in macbook when I hit alt/option and try to boot, I get missing operating system error | 07:41 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, if you want to keep using unity, you can make the applications that you use often 'sticky' in the menu. When you have the application started, right click on its icon on the left of your screen, and choose "Lock to launcher" | 07:41 |
| Jordan_U | ix_: That precludes the theory that it was the wrong filesystem then :( | 07:41 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: that's the best i can do? can i at least make folders on the launcher? i can't believe there has been such a drastic change. | 07:42 |
| Lafiir | Which part of Ubuntu is responsible for detecting sound devices, as shown in the Sound Settings window? Said devices are rapidly changing/updating: the Speakers (analogue stereo) alternates with Headphones and LineIn does with Microphone. This breaks my sound down to a constant crackling noise several times per second. It was fine with 12.04 so updating to 12.10 broke something, I just don't know what. | 07:42 |
| Nath | Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a TV tuner card install?? | 07:43 |
| robertzaccour | anyone here familiar with ffmpeg commands? | 07:44 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Yes? What do you want to do? | 07:44 |
| Nath | how do i check to see if ubuntu can see my hardware | 07:45 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, there are some other desktops available if this is a dealbreaker for you. Off the top of my head: xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop | 07:45 |
| robertzaccour | worm, so far I've got it set up to where I can record the screen and from my mic, all that is left is the analog speakers. Here's where I'm at as of now ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i plughw:1,0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 output.mkv | 07:45 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, I gotta split, best of luck to you, bye | 07:46 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: yeah i'm probably going to switch distros, but thanks... before you go recommend a new distro! | 07:46 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Then, what's your question? | 07:47 |
| robertzaccour | worm, What do I need to do with that in order to get my analog speakers recorded directly? | 07:47 |
| Nath | is there a device manager in ububtu | 07:48 |
| Flynsarmy | nath system monitor | 07:48 |
| Calinou | Nath: ubuntu doesn't have any eyes, although you can use system monitor | 07:48 |
| Flynsarmy | nm not what you were asking for | 07:48 |
| Calinou | no operating system can see... | 07:48 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, all packages I just listed are full blown Ubuntu derivatives/siblings, so a lot of what you already know about Ubuntu will transfer, plus since they are in the repos you can switch back and forth without having to reinstall | 07:49 |
| arunkumar413 | i'm unable to mark this package for installation in ubuntu 12.10: nvidia-173 | 07:50 |
| Nath | so how do i install drivers | 07:50 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, If I had to switch right know, I would probably go with xubuntu, I have used it before and like it pretty well | 07:50 |
| ASHER1 | Hey | 07:50 |
| ASHER1 | i need please help about install php in ubuntu 8.04 | 07:51 |
| effigy | gabkdlly: i know you said you're leaving so feel free to go... but how are you guys dealing with this new structure? there's no program list and you're expected to basically google your computer for applications? | 07:51 |
| effigy | i think i'm missing something, or i hope i am. | 07:51 |
| ASHER1 | i try install something in ubuntu but i have error someone can please help me | 07:51 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, some people really like Linux Mint, but I know very little about it. It is also an Ubuntu derivative, comes in several flavors, I am unsure what they ended up doing with/without Unity | 07:51 |
| ASHER1 | this my error | 07:51 |
| ASHER1 | PHP version | 07:51 |
| ASHER1 | version 5.2.8 is required and you are running 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.26 | 07:51 |
| crizis | gabkdlly, there's zero reason to install badly supported mint as you can install cinnamon on ubuntu if you really want to use that | 07:52 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | gabkdlly: it doesnt have unity | 07:52 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | they use a desktop called cinamon i believe | 07:52 |
| ASHER1 | ? | 07:52 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | idk i have several friends that use it without a issue crizis | 07:52 |
| crizis | so? | 07:53 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | i mean if you take a look at the 12.10 release and the current issues... | 07:53 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | no distro is perfect. | 07:53 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, I find Unity makes me less dependent on my mouse, which for me is a really good thing since I suffer a little from repetitive strain, and I much prefer my ergonomic keyboard to my mouse | 07:53 |
| gabkdlly | effigy, over and out | 07:54 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Do you have oss or alsa-oss? | 07:54 |
| crizis | never upgrade - always do clean install - save yourself from problems | 07:55 |
| nunne | Having problems with prop. nvidia drivers after I updated to 12.10. I have read about the missing deps (so I have installed linux-source and the headers), but I'm still getting the error where I get wrong resoluton, no unity taskbar, no window decoration and so on. Anyone have any ideas??? I have tried nvidia-current, nvidia-current-updates and nvidia-experimental-304 | 07:55 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Or have you tried just to record the voice by ffmpeg? | 07:55 |
| crizis | and better yet, stick to the LTS releases | 07:55 |
| ASHER1 | ? | 07:55 |
| arunkumar413 | 12.10 is buggy and slow | 07:55 |
| crizis | what did you expect from non-lts release? :) | 07:55 |
| crizis | every non-lts has been a disaster | 07:55 |
| DaemonicApathy | At first, anyway. | 07:56 |
| insomniac_lemon | arunkumar413, maybe it's just Unity that makes it seem like it? | 07:56 |
| FlyingElvis | nunne: i have an nvidia card also and had the same probs with a clean install | 07:56 |
| FlyingElvis | this is how i fixed it | 07:56 |
| ASHER1 | someone tell me please how i install PHP version | 07:56 |
| ASHER1 | <ASHER1> version 5.2.8 is required and you are running 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.26 | 07:56 |
| FlyingElvis | install a clean 12.04, install the nvidia drivers, make sure theyre working in 12.04 and then do a upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 | 07:56 |
| robertzaccour | worm, what do you mean? | 07:57 |
| arunkumar413 | insomniac_lemon, yes, its the unity | 07:57 |
| sdollins | ASHER1: what version of Ubuntu do you have? | 07:57 |
| Swampt | sup ppl | 07:57 |
| nunne | FlyingElvis, I'm coming from 12.04 actually. and had working nvidia-drivers (nvidia-current) :( | 07:57 |
| bretolius | crizis: I have seen this advice a lot. IS there any way to preserve the software you have installed or at least have them re-installed in some automated fashon? I already keep /home on a separate drive | 07:57 |
| FlyingElvis | and you did the upgrade? | 07:57 |
| arunkumar413 | insomniac_lemon, i system has 4gb ram and a dedicated nvidia geforce graphic card, dual core processor, still the unity is slow | 07:57 |
| insomniac_lemon | arunkumar413, maybe try cinnamon? http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61 | 07:57 |
| crizis | bretolius, yes, you can dump out installed package lists with dpkg | 07:58 |
| insomniac_lemon | Cinnamon is Gnome 3 adapted to be more like Gnome 2 | 07:58 |
| nunne | FlyingElvis, yeah. I upgrade through Update Manager | 07:58 |
| arunkumar413 | insomniac_lemon, previously i had 12.04 which was good | 07:58 |
| FlyingElvis | nunne: i am running kubuntu tho....i frickin hate unity | 07:58 |
| crizis | bretolius, just a minute | 07:58 |
| bretolius | crizis: ill check it out | 07:58 |
| bretolius | crizis: ok | 07:58 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | Clean install really sucks crizis. Who the hell wants to repeatedly install their OS? Thats worse than Windows XP LOL | 07:58 |
| nunne | I even had the buggy wrong colors in youtube, so i know the nvidia drivers where "working" hahaha | 07:58 |
| FlyingElvis | unity is an abortion of a desktop UI IMO | 07:58 |
| sdollins | ASHER1: It looks like you're running Hardy. That's the latest version available. You would either need to manually install a later version or upgrade your OS. | 07:58 |
| crizis | bretolius, "dpkg --get-selections > mypackages.log" and to restore again, "dpkg --set-selections < mypackages.log" | 07:59 |
| krababbel | nunne: I upgraded to quantal about a month ago, no nvidia problems, I used aptitude and have no gnome or kde though | 07:59 |
| nunne | FlyingElvis, I actually like Unity ;) But what buggers me is that installing the source and headers seems to have helped most people.. but not me :( | 07:59 |
| bretolius | crizis: awsome advice! Ill take note | 07:59 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | FlyingElvis: youare completely correct when you say that. | 07:59 |
| crizis | Jimster480-Lapto, considering installing ubuntu takes 15 minutes, and if you dump out package lists with dpkg and have /home on separate partition, this is 20 minute process every 6 months | 08:00 |
| FlyingElvis | kde is just so much more complete and you have total control over the computer, with unity, i cant say that | 08:00 |
| bretolius | FlyingElvis: yeah, coming to 12.04 after windows 7 and os x for a long long time, Unity Is quite swell | 08:00 |
| Nath | i type this "apt-get install get patchutils lsdiff libproc-processtable-perl build-essential" | 08:00 |
| dengpan_ | hello | 08:00 |
| crizis | Jimster480-Lapto, and my recommendation still is to SKIP every non-lts release and STICK TO THE LTS and not to upgrade to these broken mid-releases | 08:00 |
| Nath | then : | 08:01 |
| bretolius | FlyingElvis: I dont want total control so it works well for me. total controll sounds like a lot of busy work | 08:01 |
| Nath | Reading package lists... Done | 08:01 |
| Nath | Building dependency tree | 08:01 |
| Nath | Reading state information... Done | 08:01 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: I guess. But i mean if you look at 10.04 that was a broken LTS release. | 08:01 |
| FloodBot1 | Nath: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:01 |

| FlyingElvis | bretolius: i am a recent win7 to buntu convert, and i tried ubuntu12.04 and now 12.10...and kde rules it | 08:01 |
| crizis | Jimster480-Lapto, bull, it's a fantastic release and still running it at ton of servers | 08:01 |
| ASHER1 | sdollins you can please tell me how i install php version 5.2.8? | 08:01 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: thast the version that i came from. Now i am on 10.10. And I patch it myself and have my own custom kernel with optimized code aswell. Which I am currrently trying to get put into the official kernel. | 08:01 |
| sdollins | ASHER1: My suggestion would be to upgrade your OS. | 08:02 |
| sdollins | I'm sure a lot of the software you have is outdated. | 08:02 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: who uses Ubuntu servers? | 08:02 |
| bretolius | FlyingElvis: to be fair, I have never tried KDE. It does not look as visually appealing, but I have heard good things from smart trustworthy people | 08:02 |
| Nath | can anyone explain why i get that? | 08:02 |
| crizis | idiotic question tbh | 08:02 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: Also it had seriuos issues with Sleep and hibernate. | 08:02 |
| bretolius | FlyingElvis: i should give it a shot | 08:02 |
| crizis | quite a many and ubuntu server is nowadays more deployed than RHEL | 08:02 |
| sdollins | Hardy is still supported but it was released in 2008. | 08:02 |
| GVRV | Can anyone tell me why I'd be getting dependency errors like http://dpaste.com/816191/ using apt ? | 08:02 |
| krababbel | bretolius: it is a lot of work if you need every feature provided by desktop suites | 08:02 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: idk why you would ever pick a bloated release like ubuntu for a server lol | 08:02 |
| sdollins | Jimster480-Lapto: My work has hundreds of Ubuntu servers in production. | 08:02 |
| === arashOio is now known as arashO|o | ||
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: its just fail all around | 08:02 |
| FlyingElvis | bretolius: go look up vids of kde and kubuntu on yotube, compare them to unity, and come back and tell me that | 08:03 |
| crizis | you're really clueless it seems | 08:03 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: you can simply run CentOS or a Fedora server. | 08:03 |
| crizis | minimalistic server install is something around 100mbit | 08:03 |
| nunne | FlyingElvis, will try to purge the nvidia packages and see if it makes any difference installing them again after that :P | 08:03 |
| FlyingElvis | ok nunne | 08:03 |
| crizis | *mb | 08:03 |
| sdollins | We use CentOS and Ubuntu. Mostly Ubuntu these days. | 08:03 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: Ive been running linux servers since FC 3.1.2 | 08:03 |
| crizis | and ubuntu is just way better. rhel-variants are nightmare to maintain | 08:03 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Which kind of sound card driver are you using? ALSA/OSS/PULSE | 08:03 |
| sdollins | Some software we use requires RHEL-variant which is why we still use it. | 08:03 |
| bretolius | FlyingElvis: Ok, ill check them out. By no means do i disagree with the powers of KDE, just saying Unity works well for me. I dont see the common criticism against it | 08:03 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: RHEL is a nightmare to maintain? Why? Because you dont know how to use Yum? | 08:04 |
| robertzaccour | worm, I think alsa. got the ffmpeg command from a youtuber | 08:04 |
| FlyingElvis | bretolius: use what works for you | 08:04 |
| sdollins | I know another company in the same industry who runs Ubuntu on all of their production servers. | 08:04 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, why are you still running 10.10? If it's because of Unity, you could always try 11.04, Natty Narwhal, the last version before that used Gnome 2 and not Unity | 08:04 |
| worm | robertzaccour: then you need to install alsa-oss | 08:04 |
| crizis | because of lack of automation, lack of up to date packages, and having to script tons of tasks manually which ubuntu does automatically | 08:04 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: Because it cant get any simpler. And CentOS is so quick stable and secure, and the Yum is so easy to use. | 08:04 |
| robertzaccour | worm, ok just did | 08:04 |
| crizis | now please stop trolling | 08:05 |
| bretolius | crizis: this dkpg advice looks exactly like what I am looking for combined with the preserved /home on a separate drive. Do you have any adivce about PPDs? They all get disabled on re-install | 08:05 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: Its not trolling I really don't understand your fanboyism with this distro for servers. | 08:05 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: please explain to me what makes you such a fan of their servers? | 08:05 |
| crizis | !ot Jimster480-Lapto | 08:05 |
| bretolius | Use what works best for you Jimster480-Lapto | 08:05 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: yea i dont like Unity at all so I never upgraded | 08:05 |
| robertzaccour | worm, ok now what? it didn't run using with 'alsa-oss' | 08:05 |
| sdollins | ASHER1: Did you see my messages? | 08:06 |
| bretolius | advice we can all take easily | 08:06 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, so try 11.04, it uses Gnome 2, not Unity | 08:06 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: I just patch things that I need to. And build myself new kernels as time goes on. | 08:06 |
| crizis | bretolius, you can try to enable them one by one, but generally it's just safer to disable them | 08:06 |
| worm | robertzaccour: Because it makes a change on drivers, you need to reboot, then look at /dev and check if there is "/dev/dsp" | 08:06 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: I'll think about it. I was pretty sure it was on Unity though. | 08:06 |
| bretolius | crizis: if the ppa eventually brings support to the new OS, will the entries already be configured for that? | 08:06 |
| robertzaccour | worm, ok brb | 08:06 |
| bretolius | crizis: or will I need to re-add them | 08:07 |

| crizis | you'll need to re-add them | 08:07 |
| bretolius | bleh that sucks | 08:07 |
| bretolius | I guess I should just accept out of date software or keep better traack of which ppa does what | 08:07 |
| crizis | how much software you possibly can need from ppa's, anyway | 08:08 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, actually, it has both Unity and Gnome 2 | 08:08 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | crizis: depends on what you are doing | 08:08 |
| insomniac_lemon | So you just change what you log into | 08:08 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: So its not Unity with the session fallback crap? | 08:08 |
| insomniac_lemon | no need to install anything | 08:08 |
| insomniac_lemon | I don't know | 08:08 |
| worm | robertzaccour: /dev/dsp is your microphone. You'll then be able to use it as input | 08:09 |
| robertzaccour | worm, I'm back | 08:09 |
| insomniac_lemon | It's not like Gnome Fallback on the never versions | 08:09 |

| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: oh ok | 08:09 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | I'm just afraid of breaking my version that I have now | 08:09 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, try it on a VM or something | 08:09 |
| robertzaccour | worm, my mic works just fine, I need to know how to record from my speakers | 08:09 |
| worm | robertzaccour: -f oss -i /dev/dsp | 08:09 |
| robertzaccour | worm, where do I put that in the command at? | 08:10 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: yea Ill make a VM on my Windows desktop and check it out, its usually what i do with most releases these days | 08:10 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | 11.04 is supported until when? | 08:10 |
| insomniac_lemon | Is it still supported? | 08:10 |
| robertzaccour | worm, what do I need to change in this? ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i plughw:1,0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 output.mkv | 08:11 |
| robertzaccour | with that? | 08:11 |
| worm | robertzaccour: A moment please. I am checking it. | 08:11 |
| robertzaccour | worm, I want to record with my mic and analog speakers directly at the same time | 08:11 |
| robertzaccour | worm, ok thanks | 08:11 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: yea its LTS so it should be supported still | 08:12 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: not that i care that much, if i really have to patch something i can just build it most of the time. | 08:13 |

| worm | robertzaccour: How about do some test on your computer? ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -acodec libmp3lame outfile.mp3 Wish that can record the sound that plays in your speakers. | 08:15 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | how did you install it? | 08:15 |
| FlyingElvis | facu did you install actual java or icedtea | 08:15 |
| facu | with the packages that I found in the web of microsystems | 08:15 |

| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: all .04 's are LTS | 08:19 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | atleast as far as i know | 08:19 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | oh wait nvm actually its only every 2 years. | 08:19 |

| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: yea i forgot lol. | 08:19 |

| Calinou | insomniac_lemon: RIP natty, yes | 08:20 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: yea its not LTS. They support for 3 years not 5. The 10.04 ends on the day of the release of 13.04 | 08:21 |
| Calinou | 2 years = non-lts now | 08:21 |
| Calinou | 5 years = lts now | 08:21 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | Calinou: oh they changed it? | 08:21 |
| Calinou | kubuntu has 5 years lts, xubuntu 3 years, lubuntu no lts | 08:21 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, from 12.04 LTS description: " While it lacks some new features, it will receive guaranteed support for five years from April 2012" | 08:22 |
| insomniac_lemon | But I don't think there was a Natty LTS version | 08:22 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: ah I see. Man being stuck on 12.04 for 5 years LOL | 08:22 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | insomniac_lemon: 5 years of unity would mean that person would be dead xD | 08:22 |
| facu | How Can I check if it's installed? | 08:23 |
| DaemonicApathy | Jimster480-Lapto: Having 12.04 doesn't necessitate Unity. | 08:24 |
| Calinou | natty wasn't a lts | 08:24 |
| insomniac_lemon | Jimster480-Lapto, I'm thinking of using 12.04 LTS with Cinnamon instead of Unity. It's made by the makers of Linux Mint because they liked Gnome 2 | 08:24 |
| Jimster480-Lapto | DaemonicApathy: yea Cinnamon is interesting. It kind of reminds me of KDE | 08:24 |
| worm | robertzaccour: I am not sure what's up then... It works well in mine. Maybe ask others? or check here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/using-ffmpeg-to-record-sound-from-speakers-4175412930/ | 08:24 |

| WalterN | mind you, this is with ubuntu 12.10 64bit live disk | 08:51 |
| islandmonkey | WalterN: Perhaps you should install first and then see what happens then | 08:52 |
| Jordan_U | robertzaccour: Are you using Unity2D or Unity3D? Either way Unity and GNOME Shell will use a different window manager than, but if you're using Unity2D then you're not even using a composited Window Manger. Not that I can see directly how that would cause the symptoms you're seeing, but it might be relevant. | 08:52 |
| WalterN | islandmonkey: I kinda dont want to if video is going to be this issue-y.. heh | 08:53 |
| he2 | hi | 08:53 |
| robertzaccour | Jordan_U, I assume unity 3d. I can move the icons around on the panel | 08:53 |
| islandmonkey | WalterN: Well, there is only one way to find out, because you can't really do much while on the live disk | 08:53 |
| islandmonkey | that's the problem | 08:54 |
| he2 | 2 days ago i started the upgrade to 12.10 but i send my notebook to standby and after that the upgrade was not complete | 08:54 |

| islandmonkey | WalterN: Well, all I can say is install and go from there, try using fglrx | 08:56 |
| he2 | aeon-ltd: i tried to complete update and it told me to reboot because of the update | 08:56 |
| aeon-ltd | then? | 08:56 |

| aeon-ltd | if you try to update what happens? i wouldn't try anything in case of corruption though | 08:57 |
| he2 | aeon-ltd: the updater crashed some times but installed some packages about 1000 i think | 08:58 |
| WalterN | enh | 08:58 |
| WalterN | screw it... install all the things, break all the things, fix all the things | 08:58 |

| Halexander9000 | blackshirt: And... it's not anymore? Because whenever I run the installer it's always stuck at "Detecting file systems..." and it doesn't go any further than that. And on top of that, I think it's broken, since it displays "Unable to load pageProblem occurred while loading the URL file:///usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow/slides/index.htmlError opening file: No such file or directory". Just before, it asked me if it should unmount | 09:43 |
| Flynsarmy | so its cine down to this...sitting my laptop in the fridge while it does a lot of work to stop it overheating... | 09:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Go to the comema! | 09:44 |
| blackshirt | halexander9000, something gets bigger chance to break if you upgrading from full blown system | 09:44 |
| GVRV | blackshirt, APT dependency hell involving libc6, libc-i386, libc-bin and libc-dev. APT is completely broken at the moment, can't install any packages, install -f doesn't fix it, neither does manually grabbing the .deb files | 09:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Watch some movies while it does work. | 09:44 |
| Halexander9000 | Well... that's just great... should I burn a new iso with the new release? | 09:45 |

| blackshirt | bekks, with more a lot of packages installed, more bigger chance...thats why i'm said | 10:01 |
| bekks | blackshirt: "more package installed" has nothing to do with "upgrading in the gui". | 10:01 |
| dyrer | join #drupal | 10:02 |
| bekks | blackshirt: You can have very few packages even with a GUI - and quite a lot packages without a GUI. | 10:02 |

| blackshirt | bekks, yes i know this .... Thats very common system with gui has more packages installed | 10:03 |
| trap24 | wols: no | 10:03 |
| wols | trap24: I suggest you try "dpkg -l |grep flash" | 10:03 |
| wols | trap24: then why did you do it? | 10:03 |

| GVRV | iceroot, course for correction? | 10:05 |
| iceroot | GVRV: what you did exactly? | 10:05 |
| iceroot | GVRV: mixing repos? | 10:05 |
| iceroot | GVRV: or downloading something by hand? | 10:05 |

| GVRV | iceroot, I don't even know exactly. You can read entire issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 | 10:05 |
| GVRV | iceroot, but you're right, I did try to manually install libc6 | 10:06 |
| trap24 | iceroot: iF flashplugin-in 11.2.202.233ub Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 10:06 |
| hoeggerr_ | And _also_ Win7 download ti an admin account "downloaded files" when in user account, and later when pendrive linux try to find the file it looks in the user account.. | 10:06 |
| iceroot | GVRV: installing libc6 by hand is always!! a bad idea and will break the system normally | 10:06 |
| blackshirt | gvrv, that was bad step | 10:07 |
| nunne | Anyone having problems with nvidia drivers on x64?? Been following what has been written online about installing linux source+headers.. But still no unity task bar or borders... I'm stuck at using the noveaou driver which is the suckiest thing on eart.. cant even move around windows / playback video without hugh lagg... running nvidia-settings after installing the nvidia drivers just says that no nvidia drivers are loade | 10:07 |

| WalterN | alright, so, played around with my computer screen configuration, and it seems to work fine if the three computer screens are mirrored, or if two of them are turned off | 10:07 |
| GVRV | iceroot, it was suggested by someone on ubuntuforums :/ I really didn't know what I was getting myself into | 10:07 |
| iceroot | GVRV: libc6 is the most important package on the system, when that gets broken you are in serious problems | 10:07 |
| nunne | (after updating to 12.10 that is) | 10:07 |
| WalterN | but if two or all three computer screens are turned on, then video is extremely sluggish | 10:07 |
| wols | nunne: why would you want to install it via source and headers? | 10:07 |
| WalterN | for 3D things | 10:07 |
| iceroot | GVRV: what is the output of "apt-cache policy libc6" | 10:07 |
| iceroot | !paste | GVRV | 10:08 |
| nunne | wols, i know headers are required for building the nvidia-driver module | 10:08 |

| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 10:08 |
| nunne | wols, the ubuntu package builds the kernel module for my kernel (default). this is the normal behaviour. | 10:08 |
| nunne | otherwise it would need a new package for every kernel update | 10:09 |

| nunne | wols, I have described my errors? i'm not the only one having problems with nvidia prop. drivers in 12.10 it seems. just that what works for most doesnt work for me. | 10:11 |
| iceroot | GVRV: can you try "sudo apt-get install libc6" and paste the output | 10:12 |
| wols | nunne: you wrote "doesn't work". that's no description | 10:12 |
| trap24 | iceroot: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-in brings no installed package matching. | 10:12 |

| enq | is it possible to point all requests to *.dev to localhost apache server? | 10:13 |
| bekks | enq: sure, just edit you /etc/hosts | 10:14 |
| enq | i write 127.0.0.1 *.dev to it? | 10:14 |
| WalterN | my video is fine with the AMD HD6870 if the screens are mirrored or only one turned on. but if two or all three are turned on its extremely sluggish | 10:14 |
| iceroot | GVRV: is it a fresh install? | 10:14 |
| GVRV | iceroot, dunno what is erroring in the pre-installation scripts exactly, but I've been going in circles the whole day | 10:14 |
| enq | ok, going to look other errors, thanks :) | 10:14 |
| WalterN | xorg.0.log does not indicate any errors... | 10:14 |
| iceroot | GVRV: where was the libc6 package coming from? | 10:14 |
| wols | GVRV: apt-cache clean to remove the libc deb package from /var/cache | 10:14 |
| GVRV | iceroot, nope, was working fine for months, ubuntu 12.04 | 10:15 |
| trap24 | iceroot: the name was truncated in the list that dpkg -l flash* brought. Anyway thanks :) | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | hosts file dosent support wildcards enq | 10:15 |
| enq | why? | 10:15 |
| nunne | wols, if you follow whats allready been written on the nvidia driver problems i think it was a good description.. | 10:15 |
| insomniac_lemon | trap24, what do you need flash for? (what browser) | 10:15 |
| iceroot | GVRV: where was the libc6 package coming from? | 10:15 |
| iceroot | GVRV: the one you downloaded | 10:15 |
| trap24 | insomniac_lemon: google chrome has preinstalled. i was using problem with other apt-get commands. | 10:15 |
| enq | well then what should i use, or is it good if i write ServerName something.dev to apache server? | 10:16 |
| GVRV | iceroot, packages.ubuntu.com | 10:16 |
| Eagleman | Can i use the truecrypt bootloader with ubuntu? | 10:16 |
| trap24 | now, where are the panels in 12.04 when i boot using gnome selection ? | 10:16 |
| iceroot | GVRV: and the package was designed for 12.04? | 10:16 |
| blackshirt | gvrv, if you want download and install it, you should install dependenies too | 10:17 |
| WalterN | woah... there are the errors.. just popped up in the log file | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | enq you can set servername.dev to point to localhost. | 10:17 |
| GVRV | wols, still no luck http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294497/ | 10:17 |
| enq | but dr_willis i will have to do it for each *.dev, dont i? | 10:17 |
| GVRV | iceroot, yep, certain about that | 10:17 |
| iceroot | GVRV: hm, you have aptitude installed? maybe that can rescue the issue | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | enq: yes | 10:18 |
| GVRV | blackshirt, really didn't think I'd need to :/ I thought it'd fetch the needed dependencies | 10:18 |
| trap24 | now, does anyone still use cairodock with unity ? it freezes often. i think its redundant. there is already a nice panel on the left. right ? | 10:18 |
| GVRV | iceroot, nope :( | 10:18 |
| wols | GVRV: are you out of room on your / ? | 10:18 |
| enq | hmm... any other solutions? ofc i dont add alot of extra names, but still | 10:18 |
| wols | iceroot: it's a dpkg error message. aptitude won't do anything | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | trap24: it has a different featureset. not tried cairodock here in ages | 10:19 |
| wols | iceroot: and the dpkg error message is crap and useless :( | 10:19 |
| GVRV | wols, nope plenty of space available | 10:19 |
| trap24 | dr_willis: hehe.. ok | 10:19 |
| iceroot | wols: my hope was aptitude will pick up the current libc6 , he installed an older version and the repo is holding a newer one | 10:19 |
| wols | GVRV: go to /tmp and run dpkg --unpack <path to var cache file of libc6> there | 10:19 |
| blackshirt | gvrv, if you download it from different repository, ? | 10:20 |
| wols | iceroot: he tries to install a newer one and it fails. unless you know a newer one than mentioned in his paste. at which point aptitude won't help but only a different repo would | 10:20 |
| bazhang | !aptitude | iceroot | 10:20 |
| ubottu | iceroot: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 10:20 |
| iceroot | wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294483/ | 10:20 |

| bazhang | iceroot, aptitude wont help here | 10:21 |
| wols | iceroot: do you know a newer one than http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294483/ | 10:21 |
| Eagleman | Can i use the truecrypt bootloader with ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| wols | sorry. do you know a newer one than 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 ? | 10:21 |
| GVRV | wols, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294511/ | 10:21 |
| iceroot | wols: he was 2.15-0ubuntu10.2 0 the repo has 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 | 10:21 |
| enq | ok thanks for help | 10:21 |
| iceroot | wols: the installed 10.2 with dpkg -i | 10:22 |
| GVRV | blackshirt, nope, downloaded it from precise-updates | 10:22 |
| wols | iceroot: he tries to install 10.3 which causes the error, duh | 10:22 |
| iceroot | wols: because the 10.2 fails which je installed with dpkg -i | 10:22 |
| WalterN | ok, so, with my AMD radeon HD6870 I'm getting extremely sluggish video response, and a bunch of nasty error things showing in xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/1rxcHM5y | 10:23 |
| wols | iceroot: please stop talking to me until you make sense. have a niec day | 10:23 |
| iceroot | wols: ... whatever.. | 10:23 |
| WalterN | but it seems to work fine if I have two of my three computer screens turned off | 10:23 |
| wols | GVRV: run apt-cache clean again and switch to a different repo. looks like you cannot unpack the libc6 in.archive delivers to you | 10:24 |
| iceroot | wols: the old one from the repo was 10.0, he installed 10.2 with dpkg -i which failed on the depenendcies and now he is trying to install 10.3 from the repos but the 10.2 one is still broken | 10:24 |
| iceroot | wols: but i guess you are the guru, so good luck with that | 10:25 |
| blackshirt | gvrv, commonly, the newer libc installed was for upgrading process | 10:25 |
| bazhang | iceroot, wols lets be civil please | 10:25 |
| GVRV | wols, switch to a different repo? which one? | 10:25 |
| GVRV | blackshirt, yes, everything broke during an upgrade. Problems didn't start with libc6 broken at all, they started with flashplugin-installer and man-db (FOR SOME REASON) were broken one morning, I couldn't re-install them, so I just removed them. Then I tried upgrading and libc was suddenly broken as I've been following the advice on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 thread :( | 10:27 |
| WalterN | well.. I'm going to bed... guess I'll try to figure it out in the morning | 10:28 |

| janisozaur | hi! I'm using netvibes as my default rss reader, but for some time I'm willing to try out other options.

| wols | GVRV: dpkg -l |grep libc6 | 10:32 |

| wols | Flynsarmy: you don't. your put it into /etc/modules | 11:40 |
| Flynsarmy | wols /etc/modules currently doesnt' exist. do i just create the folder and drop the .ko file in there? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | whre did this. ko come from Flynsarmy | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | !modules | 11:41 |
| ubottu | To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist | 11:41 |

| Flynsarmy | dr_willis: it's acpi_call which lets me disable my nvidia gpu | 11:42 |
| Flynsarmy | h7r: oh it's a file. thought you meant drop the file in a /etc/modules folder. | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | so you just downoladed a whaterver.ko file? | 11:43 |
| Meris | h7r, thanks | 11:43 |

| DX099 | SouravAJ, #network | 12:03 |
| DX099 | SouravAJ, #networking (sorry) | 12:04 |
| SouravAJ | means in lan | 12:04 |
| SouravAJ | or u can say in router | 12:04 |
| DX099 | LAN = local area NETWORK | 12:04 |
| DX099 | you can still block common ports | 12:04 |
| === erry is now known as errietta | ||
| SouravAJ | how can u please tell? | 12:05 |
| DX099 | you should read your router's user manual | 12:05 |
| SouravAJ | ok can we do with iptables?? | 12:06 |
| Chris-Magentium | Torrents will always be difficult to block, because you can just randomize the port. | 12:06 |
| bindi | SouravAJ: why do you want to block torrents? | 12:06 |
| DX099 | SouravAJ, of course, but check what Chris-Magentium said | 12:06 |
| Chris-Magentium | The only way to truly block them is to completely block all ports, and then enable only the ones you know you need. Problem being..there are ways to encrypt it over Port 80...block that port and you get on Browser internet.... | 12:07 |
| SouravAJ | actually my wi-fi is using in many computers in my family and everyone download torrent so i cant surf | 12:07 |
| bekks | Chris-Magentium: Then setup deep packet inspection and filter out those packages. | 12:07 |
| DX099 | SouravAJ, talk with them | 12:07 |
| josy1982 | first place | 12:08 |
| Chris-Magentium | Yes of course. Good call bekks, but the fact that SouravAJ is asking how to do it, means that me / she probably is not that much into networking, would be difficult for them (it was difficult for me), not offence to anyone of course. | 12:08 |
| SouravAJ | ok if i block all ports can i download local things from a website like mp3 pdf etc? | 12:08 |
| bekks | Chris-Magentium: ack :) | 12:08 |
| DX099 | bekks, DPI is a pretty highly aggressive thing to do for such matter. If it was business maybe but even then... | 12:09 |
| TJ- | SouravAJ: You will need to use layer-7 filtering to detect and block P2P connections. See http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ | 12:09 |
| bekks | SouravAJ: No. When blocking all ports, all ports are blocked. You have to open the ports you need. | 12:09 |
| h7r | isn't there some packet filtering kernel modules that can be used with iptables and would make it at least in theory possible to block torrents? i never did it myself, but remember seeing something like that a few years ago... | 12:09 |

| Supermanintights | Hi.. I think I may have messed up (denial), and just lost 700mb of data on my external. My external drives keep changing it's partition format to Fat32 or something other than NTFS (which is what I always set it to), and I just tried to change it back, and basically it deleted all my stuff. While I admit this is probably my fault, is there a way to undo/recover my information - I changed it via gparted. | 12:28 |
| vibhav | mariusz__: What do you want to do after removing it? | 12:29 |
| hatgor | <mangozy>, what should i post? | 12:29 |
| mariusz__ | am using cairo dock up to now | 12:29 |
| hatgor | mariusz, use xfce with cairo dock | 12:30 |
| DX099 | hey, can someone help me reverting the mount points policy in 12.10 ? | 12:30 |
| mariusz__ | i just want move all icons (shortcut) in to the desktop | 12:30 |
| insomniac_lemon | Supermanintights, yes, you can recover the data as long as it has not been overwritten yet. | 12:30 |
| vibhav | mariusz__: You can hide the bar, but not disable | 12:30 |
| h7r | BluesKaj, this host is an audio streaming server using mpd -> alsa, connected through the regular audio connector to a mixer. now i'm in the process of getting rid of some cables and want to stream the audio through bluetooth. the whole setup is already testes (receiver side). what's missing is making alsa be able to send audio through bluetooth. | 12:30 |
| mongi | Hey guys. Is there any software that I can use to share my wi-fi internet in Ubuntu? Like Connectfy for Windows... | 12:30 |
| mangozy | hatgor: its your Q | 12:30 |
| mariusz__ | so how to make shortcut of other aplications ?? | 12:30 |
| theadmin | mongi: It's built-in and is called networkmanager ;) Wireless -> New -> Shared | 12:31 |
| vibhav | mariusz__: If you want to move them to the desktop, just search for them in the dash and drag them to the desktop | 12:31 |
| h7r | BluesKaj, i'm using (or trying to) bluez-alsa | 12:31 |
| muelli | Supermanintights: I would create a bit by bit backup at first. So you can experiment with that image instead of on the real harddrive. You can use smth like "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/media/otherdrive/bitbackup.dd bs=4M" | 12:31 |
| h7r | BluesKaj, and am stuck to 11.10 | 12:31 |
| Supermanintights | insomniac_lemon, other than screaming, shedding a few tears and closing my eyes and counting to ten - I haven't touched it since I changed it. I'm relatively new to ubuntu - I tend to stick with it for my media centre and a few other things - do you have any useful guides/resources? | 12:31 |
| mariusz__ | hahahaah thanks for that :D | 12:31 |
| insomniac_lemon | Supermanintights, because when you "delete" files, it doesn't truly delete them, just makes it not be visible/accessible, but certain tools can recover deleted files. Just don't put anything on the drive, and definitely don't fill the drive. | 12:31 |
| vibhav | mariusz__: example, search for home folder in the dash and then drag its icon to the desktop | 12:31 |
| mongi | theadmin: but I was looking in google, it seems the one built-in can only share a wired internet trought the wi-fi... | 12:32 |
| _PanzerSajt | Hy! I have accidentally deleted the partition table on my external hd. I would like to get it back. I 've already managed to get back one partition (fat32) but there's still one left (ntfs) | 12:32 |
| mongi | theadmin: is that correct? | 12:32 |
| Supermanintights | muelli, I'm new to ubuntu - can you just expand on what you wrote a bit? How would that work? | 12:32 |
| theadmin | mongi: Well you can't have the same device working both as the receiver and the broadcaster. | 12:32 |
| theadmin | mongi: So yes, that's right, I'm not sure if you'll find anything that can | 12:32 |
| muelli | Supermanintights: If you have only changed the type of the partition (and maybe even brought a new filesystem onto the partition) you might have luck with "testdisk". | 12:32 |
| josy1982 | how can i configure automatic updates? | 12:32 |

| TJ- | insomniac_lemon: OK. Have you started vlc from a terminal with verbose logging running? That may give a clue | 12:37 |

| theadmin | mongi: Can't you just connect to the primary network? | 12:39 |
| defekt | DX099: they are just temp mounts that get mounted in /media/ , df output not enough? | 12:39 |

| hatgor | Guys, did anyone use an ubuntu studios 12.10? | 12:40 |

| theadmin | mongi: Check out "hostapd" | 12:40 |
| mongi | theadmin: ok ;D | 12:40 |
| insomniac_lemon | mongi: Maybe you can creat a wireless networ with Ubuntu, and find out if there is something like "Internet Connection Sharing" in Ubuntu. | 12:40 |

| BluesKaj | h7r , you could make an ~/.asoundrc file and configure it yourself , but i have no experience with bluetooth headsets and drivers. | 12:48 |

| BluesKaj | shahrooz, you should have explained all this before asking your question | 13:26 |
| markovh | i reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 and installed plasma-desktop (kde), not too sure where it went but i'm missing the audio controller on the system tray. | 13:26 |

| JeffryToobz | Chris-Magentium? | 13:26 |
| maever | good morning | 13:26 |
| markovh | few oddities including konsole wasn't installed by default (the original install had it o.O). I literally did the first install yesterday and i'm 100% sure i didn't have to install kmix and konsole manually | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | shahrooz, well ,if bumblebee doesn't work , I'm out of ideas | 13:27 |
| maever | so I have this tiny thing here known as a FIT-PC, it has a mini-SD slot and Im actually trying to boot ubuntu off of it | 13:27 |

| matthias_ | hi i make my sudo modprobe b44 on terminal and i get ethernet connectivity but how do i make this permanent ... | 13:27 |
| maever | I can prep the SD card with unetbootin and it does actually "boot" but once you get the splash screen it gives stdin error 0 : /dev/sda not found | 13:28 |

| martyn_t | Hello all. I am having a 'problem' with sudo and root access. I have noticed recently that I cannot perform updates or anything through the GUI which normally requires me to add my own password (as a sudoer). After actually reading what is being asked for, it is requesting the root password. This has never been set up on my system so I am concerned there might be a security breach. Has... | 13:40 |
| martyn_t | ...anyone any experience of this? | 13:40 |
| matthias_ | seems identical to me but at installing the 1:st one the other one is not installed, is it an extra copy or why ??? | 13:40 |
| tyrog | Does anybody use the Ubuntu gnome remix 12.10? | 13:41 |
| matthias_ | martyn_t, the password should be the one setup at installation at least for me it works fine ... | 13:42 |

| * wab has returned from auto away after 15mins idle, was gone for 53secs | 13:43 | |
| martyn_t | matthias_ thanks for the reply. The system works fine (I have used it for many years). It is only within the last week that it is requesting root password. When I use my own the password box wobbles and tells me I have it wrong. I don't have root password and it has never been set up. I can perform the tasks through Terminal but was concerned why this has changed recently. | 13:44 |
| matthias_ | martyn_t, haw you tried to reinstall the program itself ? | 13:44 |

| amendes265 | hey everyone guess what i have sound problems in ubuntu 10.04 :D | 13:45 |
| suttiwit | meh | 13:45 |
| martyn_t | matthias_ I suspect it is the Ubuntu OS itself - is that where security policy is 'kept'? It isn't a single program either, it is anything that I try and run through the GUI which would normally required SUDO privileges. | 13:46 |
| matthias_ | martyn_t, okey so it ask for password but do not remeber it like ..., try changing it with hold on let me see how it is made and see if that way can re-activate the password, hold on ... | 13:46 |
| amendes265 | my master volume seems to work independent from browser volume??? | 13:46 |
| matthias_ | have you tried the command line to change password ? | 13:46 |
| harryrf | Tm_T: I'm sure he was probably trying to set an away message :p | 13:46 |
| nsahoo | any help with troubleshooting the sound? | 13:47 |
| martyn_t | matthias_ Yeah I tried changing my own password but it isn't asking for my own - it is wanting the root password (which is my concern as it (root) isn't supposed to be activated in Ubuntu). | 13:48 |
| === quake is now known as Guest57818 | ||
| martyn_t | mattias_ I can successfully change my own password through Terminal (and do anything else required using sudo or gksudo). It is if I open a program through GUI. For example if you go to DASH and type gparted you will be prompted for your own account password. My OS is now asking for root password instead. | 13:49 |

| gaetano | martyn_t: whats gksudo?? | 13:58 |
| ardchoille | gksu - GTK+ frontend for su and sudo | 13:58 |
| Fizzik | gaetano: gksudo is the same as sudo excepts it prompts for the password via a gui window instead of in the terminal | 13:58 |

| ikonia | vickytomar__: in the second window type "touch /home/vickytomar/breakfile" | 14:32 |
| bloodlife | jrib: so when installing from the repo does it install all the dependencies like libevent, libdnet, and libpcap ? | 14:32 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: that should (according to you) hang your machine | 14:32 |
| strangerr | what is the difference between bcmwl-kernel-source and broadcom-sta-common drivers? | 14:32 |

| jrib | bloodlife: yes | 14:32 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ok | 14:32 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: is the window running vmstat still scrolling or has it just locked | 14:33 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: press the numlock/capslock keyboard buttons, | 14:33 |
| bloodlife | jrib: pls wait while i try it now.. ty | 14:33 |
| t4nk | after my ubuntu 10.04 lts is no longer supported, do I have to upgrade for security purpose's? | 14:33 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: does the light on your keyboard go on/off when you press them | 14:33 |
| jrib | bloodlife: that's one of the main benefits of using a package system | 14:33 |
| Baribal | jrib, probably NTFS. | 14:33 |
| jrib | t4nk: yes | 14:33 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: then reboot the machine and do "ls -la /home/vickytomar/breakfile" and report the info back in this channel | 14:33 |
| jrib | Baribal: have you tried instead trying to extract to your HOME (presumably ext4)? | 14:33 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: that's it, can you do that ok ? | 14:33 |
| t4nk | jrib: that was simple enough, lol. | 14:33 |
| jrib | t4nk: heh | 14:34 |
| t4nk | jrib: thanks | 14:34 |
| jrib | t4nk: keep in mind, you can upgrade 10.04 directly to the next LTS (12.04) | 14:34 |

| bloodlife | jrib: i don't find it.. | 14:38 |
| jrib | my guess is there's a way to manipulate the file names though I don't know how offhand | 14:38 |

| DX099 | *then | 14:47 |
| Kishlay | Thanks for that DX099 but i want to keep my current files and settings is that possible?? | 14:48 |
| DX099 | Kishlay, either way, you have to download the ISO before hand somehow | 14:48 |

| vickytomar__ | ikonia : i ran those tests | 14:51 |
| jrib | bloodlife: well those are the first steps in building the software if you don't want to use the packages in APT. If you're using APT, then you don't need to do any of that | 14:51 |

| ikonia | vickytomar__: ahh perfect. | 14:53 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: does the mouse pointer move at all ? | 14:53 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia: ya mouse pointer could still move. | 14:53 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: ok, is the file "breakfile" you created for the test there ? | 14:54 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : i am afraid of reinstalling ubuntu 12.04.... yes that file is been created | 14:54 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: ok, so this doesn't sound like a true system freeze | 14:55 |
| vickytomar__ | ikona : me too suppose that but how to fix it..... | 14:55 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: if you click on anything does the machine respond ? | 14:55 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : no mc. was not responding on clicks | 14:55 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: forget midnight commander, I'm talking about the machine, can you open nautilus, a terminal, anything else | 14:56 |
| subichan | how can I get the number of cores of an ubuntu machine? | 14:56 |
| bashiebarsh | Lscpu | 14:56 |
| ikonia | lscpu ??? | 14:57 |
| wols | subichan: /proc/cpuinfo is a possibility, but it might count HT "cores" too | 14:57 |
| superthomas | open a terminal and type: lscpu | 14:57 |
| bashiebarsh | For subichab | 14:57 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia: ya i can open nautilus terminal any thing i want i can open now ...but at that time while mc. was hanged i was not able to do any thing .... | 14:57 |
| bashiebarsh | *chan | 14:57 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: right, so the machine is not hanging, just the midnight commander application ? | 14:57 |
| subichan | wols: HT standing for? | 14:57 |

| === K[a]rtagis is now known as Kartagis | ||
| vickytomar__ | you are talking about "midnight commander application" what is this ? | 14:58 |
| DX099 | does someone know what part of udevd configuration manage other partitions mounting points in Ubuntu 12.10 ? | 14:58 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: when you say "mc" what do you mean by "mc" | 14:58 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : you are talking about "midnight commander application" what is this ? | 14:58 |
| kostkon | vickytomar__, a clone of notron commander | 14:58 |
| kostkon | norton* | 14:58 |
| vickytomar__ | machine my lappy | 14:59 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia: machine my lappy | 14:59 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: well, your machine is not hanging then is it ?? you can open new windows, you can still do things | 14:59 |
| fred_1 | rymate1234: I put the data in pastebin http://pastebin.com/TaMPdFzx | 14:59 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: what do you mean it's "freezing" when it's not, you say you can still open new applications / do things | 14:59 |
| ikonia | I don't understand how you can think it's freezing, but still doing things ? | 14:59 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : no i can open windows and any thing now not then... | 15:00 |
| subichan | lscpu counts HT cores as well under CPU, right? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: so when I asked you about caps lock, and you said it worked, was that when it was frozen, or after ? | 15:00 |
| elwood | hi all | 15:00 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ya i even now saying same caps lock worked | 15:00 |
| bashiebarsh | I guess, in that case divide the cores by twi | 15:00 |
| bashiebarsh | *two | 15:00 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__ no - please listen to what I'm asking and answer clearly | 15:00 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia: mouse pointer was moving along | 15:01 |
| kostkon | subichan, cat /proc/cpuinfo does, so lscpu does it too | 15:01 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ya i am here please go a head | 15:01 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: when I asked you to test capslock and you said it worked, did you test it when the machine was "frozen" or after you unfroze it with a reboot | 15:01 |
| elwood | there is anything to apply a different theme to unity? | 15:01 |
| subichan | lscpu is available on all linux distros? I mean is it portale enough to be used in a script? | 15:01 |
| kostkon | subichan, see above, better substitute it with: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 15:01 |
| bashiebarsh | Its a bash command for the terminal | 15:01 |
| wols | subichan: it's part of util-linux, yes | 15:01 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : you said "test capslock" yes i tested it was working while machine was hanged. | 15:02 |
| subichan | koston: I'd have to parse that, which is a pita | 15:02 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: do you know how to switch to different VT terminals ? | 15:02 |
| bashiebarsh | You mean ttys | 15:02 |
| ikonia | yes | 15:03 |
| nina666 | hi... I have a text file of list of some URLs, is it possible that I send the list somehow from command line to any browser to open them all in tabs or separate window? Instead of manually copy and paste one by one...? | 15:03 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia :no i don't know | 15:03 |
| kostkon | subichan, if you only want to count the number of cpus, then probably yes | 15:03 |
| bashiebarsh | Ctrl alt f1-6 | 15:03 |
| theadmin | nina666: for i in $(cat your_file) ; do xdg-open $i ; done | 15:03 |

| superthomas | I'm having some trouble installing 12.10 X64 on my laptop. when i get to the point where the installers checks for disk space, internet connection etc. and i click next, the whole installer freezes. is this a known bug/error? | 15:03 |
| subichan | util-linux is installed by default on ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: I'd like you to again hang the machine and try to switch to different tty's, if you can switch check the screen contents for anything of interest, or try to execute some simple shell commands to see if the machine responds | 15:04 |
| theadmin | subichan: Of course | 15:04 |
| subichan | ok thanks, I guess that bought me then | 15:04 |
| subichan | thanks guys | 15:04 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ok now i can switch between gui and terminal with black screen | 15:05 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: please please PLEASE listen | 15:05 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: I said I'd like you to hang the machine first | 15:05 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ok | 15:05 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: not "now" do the test after you've hung the machine | 15:05 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia: yes | 15:05 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: so hang the machine - you can't do anything try switching tty's | 15:05 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : ok | 15:06 |
| subichan | by the way, is there a case in which you would want to feed an application the number of real cpu cores rather than perceived ones due to HT? | 15:06 |
| vickytomar__ | ikonia : please stay here i'll be back in a while | 15:06 |
| subichan | I'm using this to speed up application that support multicores | 15:06 |
| ikonia | vickytomar__: I'll stay as long as possible | 15:06 |

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) | 15:45 |
| allo_ | seednode_: i made a fresh installation on the pc. the last installation was ubuntu classic and when i installed kubuntu-desktop there, it changed the bootsplash for example | 15:46 |

| Bugari | Does anybody knows how to add resolutions to screen, other than 800x600 -- the only I have right now? :P | 16:35 |
| jakubo | ok i just tried on the device and it said, that the directory /boot/grub will not be readable by grub on startup and therefore aborting+ | 16:35 |
| L3top | Bugari: what mode do you want to add | 16:35 |
| david1234 | L3top: after pressing ctrl alt f2, the fsck lines have disappeared. I now see a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. Still cannot enter any commands. | 16:35 |
| dd | Bugari, you can manually set your screen res in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 16:36 |
| L3top | hmmm david1234... something is hung but good | 16:36 |
| Bugari | dd: sounds awsome, but I have no idea how to do this ;P | 16:36 |

| feodor | hi, I have ubuntu 12.04. I'm connected to the internet via wifi and on the local network there's a windows server that I need to access sometimes to view some materials for studying and etc, but samba loads the server extremely slowly or doesn't load it at all after I've accessed it a few times (it just hangs on "loading...") | 16:43 |

| flexm | yeehi, you simply run sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping | 16:43 |
| yeehi | I want to demo how easy it is to use ubuntu - in this case by installing and setting up skype | 16:43 |
| feodor | any idea how to fix the slow loading in ubuntu? | 16:43 |
| bazhang | wab, ask the channel a detailed question | 16:43 |
| L3top | The converter is preventing your display EDID from being read, so it is just giving you a basic output... but... can you give me the output of: cvt 1280 1024 60 (assumes your display is at 60 hz) | 16:43 |
| wab | bazhang i've asked before.. no way to ask this without flood the chan | 16:44 |
| david1234 | L3top: ran fsck from LiveCD. I get the same output as is displayed when attempting to boot, but it looks like the command runs successfully | 16:44 |

| jakubo | i have tried there already, but i got no response | 17:19 |
| insomniac_lemon | antisocial, also, if you have a problem with red/blue colors being switched in videos, that is a bug in flash on Adobe's part. A way to fix this is to use Chrome, as it has built-in flash more controlled by Google, and it doesn't have this issue, and runs better. | 17:19 |
| AlexPortable | then wait for response jakubo | 17:19 |

| plustax | the print screen button isnt working on my 12.10 I see the screenshot app but its a bit of a pain to use. Is there a way to map it to the prnt scrn button or am I pressing the wrong shortcut for screenshot? | 17:23 |
| bekks | danman1453: Yes. | 17:23 |
| plustax | insomniac_lemon, chromium is no different and is available in the software center | 17:23 |
| bekks | danman1453: And why do you think it is unsupported? | 17:23 |
| danman1453 | because, if I choose to upgrade, it gives me a msg that it is not supported | 17:24 |
| insomniac_lemon | plustax, actually, it is different, Chrome is based on Chromium, and has more things built-in. Chromium is more bare-bones and has less features. | 17:24 |
| danman1453 | I tried a fresh install of 12.04 from dvd, and the screen was cut off. Max resolution of 640x480. | 17:24 |
| plustax | insomniac_lemon, Ah, gotcha. I guess I havent need any of the extra chrome features. | 17:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | insomniac_lemon, like what? (other than flash) | 17:24 |
| plustax | anyone answer my screenshot question? | 17:25 |
| danman1453 | 9.10 installed without a hitch. Then I upgraded to 10.10 | 17:25 |
| plustax | brontosaurusrex, chromium has flash | 17:25 |
| plustax | its a plugin | 17:25 |
| insomniac_lemon | brontosaurusrex, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome | 17:25 |
| L3top | Can I see the exact message danman1453? When you try and upgrade? | 17:25 |
| insomniac_lemon | plustax, Flash on Chrome is less buggy than the plugin version in Chromium | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | plustax: i thought printscn launched the screenshot app. | 17:26 |

| k1l_ | wat90: you cant install on ntfs. you need an ext filesystem for ubuntu | 17:44 |
| wat90 | k1l_: no I want to install Studio on my computer without touching the ntfs part, there are all my files | 17:44 |
| wat90 | where and how shall I install? | 17:44 |
| ketterer | wat90: well i would select sda 1 and sda2 and go to change, there should be a delete funtioon there, then you will have about 80 gigs free | 17:45 |
| insomniac_lemon | wat90, the free space within /dev/sda There's nothing there, didn't you partition that out to use? | 17:46 |
| dr_willis | !text | luckyone | 17:47 |
| ubottu | luckyone: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

| jrib | riverless: I assume that's output from ls? | 17:48 |
| jaguar_ | hi | 17:48 |
| ketterer | wat90: this will not touch your ntfs, then i would make a 10 or 15 gig partition select it to be used and use as "/" then make the a second partition that is like 60 gigs and then it will be set to use, then use as "/home" then finially the remaining free space can be set to be used as a swap partition | 17:48 |
| wat90 | insomniac_lemon ketterer: I don' t know! those were already like that, do any of you have a reccomendation on how to install Studio without touching the ntfs part? I am not good at formatting Linux partitions | 17:48 |
| riverless | jrib: correct | 17:48 |
| riverless | jrib: its also on something called a Flexraid raid | 17:48 |
| riverless | jrib: so there problably their stuff not working as well | 17:48 |
| ketterer | wat90: this will not touch your ntfs, then i would make a 10 or 15 gig partition select it to be used and use as "/" then make the a second partition that is like 60 gigs and then it will be set to use, then use as "/home" then finially the remaining free space can be set to be used as a swap partition | 17:48 |

| jrib | riverless: when I've seen output like that in the past, it's indicative of some sort of filesystem corruption and advise an fsck. I don't know if you need to do something special because of this Flexraid raid | 17:49 |

| wilee-nilee | ls612, I'm not see any red flags in the script, it is always helpful in any problem to have details associated with it. As in what exactly happens when it does not boot. | 17:50 |
| insomniac_lemon | wat90, the part that has free space has nothing on it, and it is a separate partition that isn't formatted. You should format that to install the OS. | 17:50 |

| wilee-nilee | ls612, Ah you are right, my main area of any knowledge if it could be called knowledge is in grub problems, but very limited even there. I am just a regular user that has been running linux for awhile is all. | 18:11 |
| ls612 | would it have anything to do with booting win7? | 18:11 |
| ls612 | because that seems to trigger the issue repeatably. | 18:11 |
| escott | ls612, yes | 18:11 |
| ls612 | escott: so what can I do then to fix this? | 18:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ls612, I would use the ubuntu forums rather then the IRC for this if it was me. | 18:12 |
| wilee-nilee | at least as well. | 18:12 |
| dr_willis | and dont overlook askubuntu.com for help | 18:12 |
| Psi|4ward | How to install and connect a umts-stick without KDE/Gnome? | 18:12 |
| wilee-nilee | +1 | 18:12 |
| * dr_willis wonders what a umts-stick is | 18:13 | |
| escott | ls612, windows likes to keep the hardware clock in local instead of UTC. you might modify ubuntu to keep the hardware clock in local instead of UTC and see if that fixes things | 18:13 |
| Psi|4ward | internet over cellphone network? ;) | 18:13 |
| dr_willis | you maen a usb-3g modem? | 18:13 |
| Psi|4ward | yea | 18:14 |
| Psi|4ward | exactly | 18:14 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: I have a website I need for work who's screenrecorder says it can't detect Java, however if I go to the manufactuers site of the screenrecorder, it works just fine. Crux at the manu site if I go to get java it says it can't detect it, any clues? I found I did have a 3rd party PPA autorized :web8update | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | bjrohan: could be one site wants the offical java, not the open sourced java | 18:15 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: The 3rd party was: http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu could this have caused my problem? | 18:15 |

| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, Me, are you serious. ;) | 18:15 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: yes :-) you know more than i :-) | 18:15 |
| wilee-nilee | hardly | 18:15 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | hi Boys , I use ubuntu 11.10 to do continuous download through torrent, how can i stop ALL other processes and power consumption ? (i already have script to power off monitor) | 18:15 |
| bjrohan | I have installed the deb from oracle, and still no go. I also have icedtea | 18:16 |
| dr_willis | miss_ubuntu_: what torrent client? | 18:16 |
| ls612 | escott: I already have it in the Time & Date Settings to use my time zone. Is there another setting for its interface with the HW clock? | 18:16 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: No biggie I can work around from the manu site and save to the work site :-) | 18:16 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, psychology and intercultural relations yes probably, here I doubt it. | 18:16 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | dr_willis thanks for reply i use Transmission Bit Torrent client | 18:16 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: I have seen you help others like a mofo | 18:17 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, I' know my google foo. | 18:17 |

| ls612 | thanks! | 18:17 |
| fred_1 | When I install a program I got an Error: libGL error: failed to load driver: i915 As I understand from internet its a bug in Ubuntu. How do I solve this? | 18:17 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: me too, that is how I have 6 versions of java on my system now and none are a go | 18:17 |
| dr_willis | miss_ubuntu_: if you wanted the lightest setup you can use a non gui/console torrent client and not evn start x at all. but i doubt if you will save a lot of power no matter how much you turn off. | 18:18 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, I have never really understood java, I think I have java 7 installed what it does I have no idea, it just seemed needed. | 18:18 |
| dr_willis | miss_ubuntu_: or use a very mini mal window manager for your gui client to run in | 18:18 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | dr_willis thanks , what is minimal window manager? my cpu fan continuously make noise mens some processes are consuming cpu | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | miss_ubuntu_: more likely power saveings features are not enabled on your system/mb/bios | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | just the desktop 'idling' here shows a very few % cpu used on my system. | 18:20 |
| dr_willis | according to 'htop' | 18:21 |

| humbolt | I need help to get out of this grub rescue thing! | 18:24 |
| sanish | What year is it I need to know if my time machine worked? | 18:24 |
| wilee-nilee | humbolt, Have you modified grub? | 18:24 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | dr_willis is there any tool out there that can tell me statistics of cpu consumption by proceses ? e.g i want to know in last 2 hours which processes got max cpu share , top only tells current snapshot | 18:24 |
| bekks | sanish: 2013. | 18:24 |
| sanish | yes it worked! i come from the year 2246 | 18:25 |
| humbolt | wilee-nilee: I did not modify it at all. But it does not boot anymore after the upgrade to 12.10 | 18:25 |
| dr_willis | miss_ubuntu_: i just use htop | 18:25 |
| humbolt | wilee-nilee: for some reason it wanted to reinitialize grub | 18:26 |
| humbolt | and there I am, hanging in boot rescue for hours now. | 18:26 |
| bekks | humbolt: For which reason? | 18:26 |
| humbolt | bekks: it does not tell | 18:26 |
| miss_ubuntu_ | dr_willis thanks let me try it | 18:26 |
| lionofgod | Hello | 18:26 |
| lionofgod | am using Ubuntu 12.10 and I for some reason the new version of compiz does not have cube or opacity plugin | 18:26 |
| humbolt | but I am unable to make it load the normal or the linux module | 18:26 |
| lionofgod | I am wondering if I have maybe installed it wrong or something, because no one else is complaining about this... | 18:26 |
| bekks | humbolt: Then please start at the beginning. Whats happens when you power on your server, what do you do, what exactly is the problem? | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | humbolt, A upgrade will load the latest version, 12.10 has had at least a while back a dead boot I would chroot in and reload the mbr at the least. | 18:27 |
| humbolt | wilee-nilee: the server is in france | 18:27 |
| sanish | wanadoo sucks | 18:27 |
| humbolt | wilee-nilee: I am in austria | 18:27 |
| bekks | humbolt: On a HP server, you have a remote virtual console. | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | humbolt, Ah, I can't really help then. | 18:28 |
| humbolt | wilee-nilee: all I have is an IPMI console to at least see, what is going on | 18:28 |
| ketterer | ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away | 18:28 |
| bekks | humbolt: You dont have access to the ILO? | 18:28 |
| wilee-nilee | bekks, knows this stuff though. | 18:28 |
| humbolt | error: fd0 read error. error: fd1 read error. error: file not found. | 18:28 |
| xangua | lionofgod: the cube has never payed well with unity | 18:28 |
| lionofgod | I was using it in 12.04 | 18:28 |
| humbolt | bekks: I do have access to iLO | 18:28 |
| ketterer | dr_willis: ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away | 18:28 |
| lionofgod | But my main concern in transparency... | 18:28 |
| bekks | humbolt: Then you have access to the remote virtual console, too. | 18:28 |
| humbolt | bekks: I can interact with grub rescue | 18:28 |
| congiun | hello guys :) | 18:28 |
| lionofgod | DOes compiz 0.9.8 not include transparency? | 18:29 |
| humbolt | bekks: yes | 18:29 |
| bekks | humbolt: Then use it, to attache a livecd and chroot into your system. | 18:29 |
| lionofgod | Anyone else using compiz with ubuntu 12.10? | 18:29 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, If your using unity your using compiz. | 18:29 |
| |Anthony| | how do i recursively set a default acl? setfacl -m -d -R isn't working | 18:30 |
| humbolt | bekks: but I do not have an advanced pack and can not load virtual disks for that reason. the eval license they offer, does not work. the support forums say, I would have to reset iLO to factory defaults first, but then I would loose connectivity completely. | 18:30 |
| lionofgod | Let me reword that, has anyone opened up ccsm on ubuntu 12.10 | 18:30 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, There is a #compiz channel as well if needed. | 18:30 |
| bekks | humbolt: Then you are out of options. Shoot the one who did not order the Advanced iLO license. | 18:30 |
| ketterer | dr_willis: do you know where these settings for webapps would be stored | 18:30 |
| lionofgod | Its dead... | 18:30 |
| humbolt | bekks: I have already downloaded a livecd, but the eval key does not work, so I am screwed. | 18:30 |
| lionofgod | I jsut want to know if anyone else has desktop cube plugin on their ccsm in 12.10 | 18:31 |
| humbolt | bekks: do you have a working eval key_ | 18:31 |
| humbolt | or, can I buy that online_ | 18:31 |
| bekks | humbolt: HP offers you working eval keys. | 18:31 |
| bekks | And you cant buy them online, they are eval keys. :) | 18:31 |
| bekks | humbolt: Call your local HP reseller, e.g., or call the HP hotline. | 18:31 |
| jubei | anyobody know what it means if a usb wifi dongle doesn't have a /dev/ ? | 18:33 |
| lionofgod | has anyone opened up ccsm in Ubuntu 12.10? | 18:33 |
| jubei | or at least I can't find it | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, Before messing with this I would install the fusion icon and make a launcher for it on the desktop this will restart compiz you will need it and know how to rm the messed up setup. | 18:34 |
| bekks | jubei: Then you dont have a driver loaded that supports your device. | 18:35 |
| IDWMaster | Hi. Upgraded to 12.10 and found out that my display on my netbook no longer works | 18:35 |
| IDWMaster | It's good that it's possible to hotswap drives between computers with Ubuntu. | 18:35 |
| IDWMaster | Is there a known workaround for this bug yet? | 18:36 |
| bekks | For whih bug? | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | IDWMaster, what bug? | 18:36 |
| IDWMaster | It affects my system with a GMA 3600 graphics chip | 18:36 |
| lionofgod | wilee-nilee: I'm not messing with anything, I just need to know if cube plugin, etc. have been removed from compiz 0.9.8 | 18:36 |
| congiun | hello guys, i have problem how to install compiz on ubuntu 12.10 | 18:36 |
| congiun | :D | 18:36 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, Can you not look? | 18:36 |
| IDWMaster | The one that I just mentioned; it hasn't been reported yet though. | 18:36 |
| IDWMaster | Not sure which package it should be in though | 18:37 |
| wilee-nilee | congiun, It's already installed, do you wnat the ccsm | 18:37 |
| wilee-nilee | want* | 18:37 |
| lionofgod | wilee-nilee: I have and I am wondering if I have not installed some package...because no one else is complaining or moaning about this in online community | 18:37 |
| IDWMaster | Intel should get the middle finger from Linux Torvalds. | 18:37 |
| IDWMaster | Maybe that would make Intel give us some better drivers | 18:37 |
| lionofgod | I would think that dropping cube and such from compiz would be pretty big | 18:37 |
| congiun | yes | 18:38 |
| lionofgod | Is there anyone using ccsm? | 18:38 |
| IDWMaster | Anyways; it's a problem with the drivers (or in this case; lack thereof) provided by Intel | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, I'm on precise right now I used to love unity and had a great cube setup with a script to load it that stopped working as of precise I gave up on that desktop and switched to the shell. | 18:38 |
| lionofgod | I see | 18:39 |
| lionofgod | Cube worked perfectly for me on precise | 18:39 |
| lionofgod | funny | 18:39 |
| wilee-nilee | I think it is fine but just got tired of it. | 18:39 |
| IDWMaster | Upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and am experiencing problems just booting | 18:39 |
| lionofgod | Any other ubuntu channels? | 18:40 |
| IDWMaster | It will boot into recovery mode but no X-server support | 18:40 |
| wilee-nilee | lionofgod, Worked fine basically as well, but the desktop lost some inherent focus when you messed with compiz enough at least for me. | 18:40 |
| asd1 | lionofgod: #lubuntu or #kubuntu | 18:40 |
| lionofgod | Weird | 18:41 |
| lionofgod | asd1: ty | 18:41 |

| asd1 | Hello | 19:09 |
| Theodoros | Hi, does anyone know when linux-current-image in 12.04 will be updated to 12.10's kernel? | 19:09 |
| asd1 | I'm testing new gnome-shell 3.6 on quantal | 19:09 |
| ikonia | thrasher194: never | 19:09 |
| ikonia | oops | 19:09 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: never | 19:09 |
| Theodoros | ikonia: what? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: it will not get updated | 19:09 |
| asd1 | Theodoros: Keep the LTS .. in a while you'll have new kernels | 19:09 |
| thrz | should I choose instead to install the bootloader to the whole drive instead? I'm afraid it will try to mess my gpt partitionç | 19:09 |
| Theodoros | Yes it will | 19:09 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: no, it won't | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: it will stay on the same base kernel | 19:10 |
| Theodoros | No | 19:10 |
| escott | thrz, sda1 is probably the efi partition. so that doesn't sound correct | 19:10 |
| ikonia | "yes" | 19:10 |
| Theodoros | That's linux-generic | 19:10 |
| newb | just installed ubuntu 12.10 and after login i get a desktop and mouse pointer but nothing else/ no sidebar / icons ... tried right clicking but no joy | 19:10 |
| asd1 | Theodoros: In the while, you're already able to download and install kernel 3.4 from ubuntu servers (mainline) | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: you may see something in back ports, but that's it | 19:10 |
| Theodoros | linux-current and hwe will get backports from future releases | 19:10 |
| surazal | I had a question reharding Ubuntu installation on a headless server over the network | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: there is no promise of back ports | 19:10 |
| Theodoros | asd1 I thought they were going to just use quantal's kernel, i.e. 3.5 | 19:11 |
| ikonia | less so as it's an LTS release. | 19:11 |
| newb | is there a terminal command to install desktop headers | 19:11 |
| newb | icons ? | 19:11 |
| surazal | I found this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole but it appears to be for an older release of Ubuntu | 19:11 |
| asd1 | Theodoros: well I think they will, but not now. Now you can install 3.4 ;) | 19:11 |
| Theodoros | asd1 3.4 is no good to me, I need 3.5 | 19:11 |
| Theodoros | well, prefer anyway | 19:11 |
| asd1 | Theodoros: Well, you can install even 3.5, but not from official repos | 19:12 |
| thrz | my question is, installing in uefi mode to a gpt disk, if I choose the whole disk /dev/sda as the bootloader installation target, will it work without messing up anything? | 19:12 |
| Theodoros | asd1: which is why I came here to ask if there was any known timeframe for them to update | 19:12 |
| kroson | wilee-nilee: does gnome shell use compiz? | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | kroson, I believe it uses mutter | 19:12 |
| asd1 | Theodoros: I suggest to use debian if you don't wanna be forced to change release for every important update (such kernel's) | 19:13 |
| dr_willis | kroson: it does not use compiz | 19:13 |
| Theodoros | I was hopping that I wouldn't have to wait for 12.04.2 | 19:13 |
| asd1 | It's really a pain | 19:13 |
| kroson | dr_willis: mutter is lighter? | 19:13 |
| dr_willis | kroson: no idea. doxent matter to me much ;) | 19:13 |
| Theodoros | asd1: With the linux-current and hwe packages that's no longer a concern | 19:13 |
| Theodoros | But I was just wondering when they were going to get around to doing it | 19:13 |
| kroson | dr_willis: you use unity? ;) | 19:13 |
| dr_willis | kroson: unity works well for me in 12.10 | 19:14 |
| escott | thrz, if the installer recognizes its a uefi boot it shouldn't even be asking where the bootloader goes. if its asking that suggests it is installing in bios mode. in which case you could either install the the mbr and then chroot in to install grub-efi, or skip the installation of the bootloader | 19:14 |
| Theodoros | The 3.5 kernel is already in the testing ppa for precise so I can do that | 19:14 |
| surazal | Is there any documentation regarding installing Ubuntu 12.X strictly over the network (the server has no monitor, so I can't even get at a boot prompt if I wanted to) | 19:14 |
| Theodoros | But I was just wonder what the official timeline is | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: there is no promise of any back ports, it's an LTS release, so they will try to keep on the same base version | 19:14 |
| dr_willis | kroson: if i wanted 'light' i would use lubuntu | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: there is no official time line or promise of backports | 19:14 |
| Theodoros | ikonia: you keep saying that | 19:14 |
| Theodoros | ikonia: but you don't know what you're talking about | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: because you keep asking | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: please show me the official page that says "we promise to do backports and here is our time lines" | 19:15 |
| Theodoros | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling | 19:15 |
| thrz | escott: its definitely booting in uefi mode, so you mean I should get an option in the bottom part of the partition section asking where to put bootloader? | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: yeah, where is the promise of backport and timeline ? | 19:15 |
| Theodoros | Did you read the page? | 19:16 |
| escott | thrz, it should NOT be asking you where the bootloader goes | 19:16 |
| kroson | dr_willis: you think it is better than xubuntu? | 19:16 |
| newb | i have no sidebar or anything after installing and logging into ubuntu 12.10 ? please help | 19:16 |
| escott | thrz, unless you have multiple disks with efi partitions | 19:16 |
| dr_willis | kroson: i dident care for xfce last i used it | 19:16 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: yes, they will provide kernels, I've seen that page before, doesn't mean there is a promise to do this in a set time, especially if there are problems | 19:16 |
| Theodoros | Uhm | 19:16 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: I'd assume they try to do it within the timelines of the release they are back porting | 19:16 |
| Theodoros | what? | 19:16 |
| Theodoros | Yes | 19:16 |
| kroson | ok :) | 19:16 |
| Theodoros | So if they want to backport 12.10 kernel, 12.10 is out now | 19:16 |
| thrz | escott: I have just 1 HDD at the moment, I supposed the DVD doesnt count | 19:17 |
| johnjacobjingerh | when installing ubuntu server, is it best to install the packages i plan to use from the install cd or to install them after with apt-get | 19:17 |
| johnjacobjingerh | ? | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: not if there is a problem with it or a technical reason not to | 19:17 |
| Theodoros | Which begs the question, what is the schedule for the 12.10 kernel release to linux-current | 19:17 |
| g00df00d | all the pain again... sis671 craptop resolution in 12.10.. can anybody here point me a solution? | 19:17 |
| Theodoros | It's already in testing | 19:17 |
| yeehi | Hello! | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Theodoros there isn't an official one | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: that's the point, | 19:17 |
| dr_willis | johnjacobjingerh: from the cd? i dident think the cd contained many extra packages | 19:17 |
| Theodoros | Yes there is | 19:17 |
| newb | is there a chat where i can get help with 12.10 ubuntu | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: where is the official schedule then ? | 19:17 |
| yeehi | I have the ubuntu Quantal desktop - and i have installed skype | 19:17 |
| Theodoros | That's what I came here to ask | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: if you know there is a schedule, why are you asking what ti is ? | 19:18 |
| johnjacobjingerh | dr_willis, it has like DHCP server and LAMP i think | 19:18 |
| dr_willis | newb: you are in it. | 19:18 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: there is no "we will give you $X $Y weeks after release" | 19:18 |
| yeehi | i want to be able to put the skype launch icon onto that "bar" on the left | 19:18 |
| dr_willis | johnjacobjingerh: i doubt it will matter much. those wouldent be huge downloads | 19:18 |
| ikonia | Theodoros: I'd assume as soon as technical possible, tested and safe | 19:18 |
| Theodoros | You sure like to change you rposition | 19:18 |
| newb | willis can you help me to get a sidebar after installin 12.10 | 19:18 |
| yeehi | how do i put the icon onto the bar? I tried right clicking but it didn't help | 19:18 |
| johnjacobjingerh | yea that was my thought | 19:18 |
| Theodoros | " there is no promise of any back ports" to "no official schedule" | 19:18 |
| johnjacobjingerh | wasnt sure if the repo packages were different than the cd tho | 19:18 |

| celthunder | yourfriendisaaac: then what's it say when you pick the drivers you installed in cups? | 19:27 |
| yourfriendisaaac | celthunder: FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall. | 19:28 |
| celthunder | yourfriendisaaac: don't do the detection just tell it the printers ip | 19:28 |

| Zw33t | Hi! I sould like to create users on my ubuntu server that only can access "some" folders. How to do that? | 19:32 |
| johnjacobjingerh | well u need to make sure permissions are set on your folders | 19:33 |
| Froward | Zw33t: I'm kind of a noob but I think it might have something to do with which groups the user is in. Do you know about permissions? | 19:33 |
| toastcfh | hi | 19:33 |
| yeehi | Hello - who can help me - i have a couple of basic questions about the appearance of quantal... | 19:33 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: chown/chmod ? | 19:33 |
| bekks | yeehi: Then just ask. | 19:33 |
| yeehi | bekks - thanks | 19:33 |
| overclucker | !permissions | Zw33t | 19:34 |
| ubottu | Zw33t: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:34 |
| yourfriendisaaac | celthunder: isnt the same since ubuntu changed the settings interface. From where should I tell it the ipaddress. I have it locally setup on one computer and on a wireless network on another. The local device see the printer but will not set it as default. Both find the printer on the network | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | celthunder: I dont want them to see folders above * | 19:34 |
| yeehi | bekks - how do i easily move the "bar" on the left verticle to the bottom? | 19:34 |
| yeehi | what is that bar called? | 19:34 |
| escott | Zw33t, what is "*" | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | Chroot jail or something, heard about it? | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | above /home folder | 19:34 |
| bekks | yeehi: "panel". And there is no way I am aware of moving it. | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | etc, with chmod they can still se files, but not open | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | as far as i know | 19:34 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Thats wrong. | 19:34 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: theres a difference between a chroot/jail and just locking them in one dir | 19:34 |
| Zw33t | users on the computer? | 19:34 |
| brightsparks | celthunder: ok Thanks v much | 19:35 |
| escott | Zw33t, its impossible for them to do anything in /home without binaries and libc in /home | 19:35 |
| yeehi | ok, thanks bekks - next q: how do I add an icon to the panel? | 19:35 |
| Zw33t | sorry I am not as good at this yet as you noticed, but tnx for help :-) | 19:35 |
| Zw33t | what i meen is, i need to have chmod 777 etc on many files | 19:35 |
| bekks | yeehi: create a .desktop file for it (I never needed to do so) | 19:35 |
| yeehi | for example, bekks, i want to add the skype launcher icon to the panel | 19:35 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: if you really want someone locked in the home dir you probably want to make a chroot otherwise they cant do anything | 19:35 |
| escott | Zw33t, in almost all computer systems out there the permission model is that "you are the applications you run" so if you cannot see any applications to run, you cannot "be" anyone | 19:35 |
| Zw33t | but i dont want users on the server to have access to see all folders and files | 19:35 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: and chmod 777 should rarely if ever be used | 19:35 |
| yeehi | i go to dash, type skype and there is a skype icon | 19:36 |
| yeehi | i want to be able to "pin" that to the panel | 19:36 |
| bekks | Zw33t: when needing 777 on a bunch of files, your security concept is broken by design. | 19:36 |
| Zw33t | Most files on my server has 775 | 19:36 |
| Zw33t | or folders* | 19:36 |
| jrib | Zw33t: so what has 777? | 19:37 |
| Zw33t | sould i say? | 19:37 |
| celthunder | so anyone can read it anyway... | 19:37 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Then you dont need to mess with permissions, as everyone can read every file. | 19:37 |
| dr_willis | yeehi: drag it to the panel | 19:37 |
| bekks | Zw33t: As I said: security concept broken by design. | 19:37 |
| yeehi | so easy, dr_willis! Thanks - let me try that now | 19:37 |
| Zw33t | bekks: i dont want everyone to have access to all files :P | 19:37 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Then dont use 777 or 775. | 19:38 |
| Lil | man chmod ? | 19:38 |
| Zw33t | But if the files has a owner, does 775 makes it open for others? | 19:38 |
| bekks | Zw33t: No. | 19:38 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: then get ride of the 775 and 777 | 19:38 |
| dr_willis | yeehi: some apps can confuse the unity launcher ive noticed | 19:38 |
| Zw33t | its 775 by default | 19:38 |
| escott | Zw33t, go read up on chroot jails | 19:38 |
| toastcfh | why the amazon links to slayer albums gotta be busted >_> | 19:38 |
| overclucker | Zw33t: try 770 for directories, 5 is read + execute which allows directory traversal | 19:38 |
| yourfriendisaaac | celthunder: isnt the same since ubuntu changed the settings interface. From where should I tell it the ipaddress. I have it locally setup on one computer and on a wireless network on another. The local device see the printer but will not set it as default. Both find the printer on the network | 19:38 |
| bekks | Zw33t: No. | 19:38 |
| bekks | Zw33t: By DEFAULT, files are 644. | 19:38 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 19:38 |
| Zw33t | bekks: folders are 775 * | 19:38 |
| bekks | Zw33t: No. | 19:38 |
| bekks | Zw33t: By default, folders are 755. | 19:38 |
| Zw33t | hmm ok | 19:39 |
| Zw33t | il change to that then | 19:39 |
| yeehi | dr_willis: what is that nice tweaks program that lets you customize your desktop / gui? | 19:39 |
| toastcfh | amazon links are win but they derp up a lot | 19:39 |
| celthunder | yourfriendisaaac: just type in localhost:whateverportcupsison in your browser | 19:39 |
| Zw33t | but the think is, iff il do a "adduser bekks" you get a user, and a home folder | 19:39 |
| bekks | Zw33t: And 755/644 still allows everyone to read everything. | 19:39 |
| yeehi | linuxtweaks or ubuntutweaks or something like that | 19:39 |
| Zw33t | but you can still access files above /home/bekks | 19:39 |
| toastcfh | like a lot of them do not work | 19:39 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Expected behaviour. | 19:40 |
| Zw33t | but as i said, i do not want them to have access to all folders, but they can now. Thats why i was thinking of chroot jail. | 19:40 |
| faLUCE | hi. I have troubles with cedar trail drivers for my n2800 atom cpu. I installed the packages provided by ubuntu and I get mplayer-vaapi working, but no luck with glxgears (it increases cpu to 300%). Which kernel should I use? thanks | 19:40 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Then first please get to know what 755 and 644 actually mean :) | 19:41 |
| Zw33t | I just want the user bekks that i add to have access to his own /home/ folder , and some folders in /home/otheruser/ | 19:41 |
| celthunder | Zw33t: either chroot them or you're going to have to change your file permissions | 19:41 |
| escott | Zw33t, a chroot jail is really hard to set up, hard to maintain, and hard to secure for anything more than trivial access | 19:41 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest50802 | ||
| Zw33t | the thing is that i have a game on a user /home/game , and i want do add some people that can access /home/game/addons folder. | 19:41 |

| toastcfh | <3 | 19:42 |
| Bumble-Bee | :O | 19:42 |
| Zw33t | but i dont want them to see all files on the server | 19:42 |
| celthunder | which you should have on your host anyway i'd assume | 19:42 |
| bekks | celthunder: Nope. Not if he doesnt even know what 775 implies. | 19:42 |
| apoplectic | whats a msdn subscription? | 19:42 |
| overclucker | Zw33t: 755 still allows other users to traverse the directories. try 750, then add users you want to be able to access it to the game group | 19:42 |
| celthunder | apoplectic: an overpriced microsoft network service that gives you access to os's etc online | 19:42 |
| Bumble-Bee | lightdm breaks when you have a strange gnome3 shell setup | 19:42 |
| === fernando_ is now known as FernandiLujani | ||
| Bumble-Bee | if anyone has a strange login issue | 19:43 |
| Zw33t | so change all folders to 750 ? | 19:43 |
| apoplectic | celthunder access to OS? | 19:43 |
| apoplectic | what do you mena | 19:43 |
| escott | Zw33t, if you dont want a working system sure | 19:43 |
| Zw33t | :/ | 19:43 |
| bekks | Zw33t: No. Dont guess, please read the link you've been given about permissions. | 19:43 |
| Zw33t | so i rather stick with croot jail i guess | 19:43 |
| celthunder | apoplectic: os iso's like windows 7 etc. | 19:43 |
| bekks | Zw33t: ... | 19:44 |
| Zw33t | hehe :P sorry bekks | 19:44 |
| apoplectic | ISO's as in cd images? celthunder | 19:44 |

| === brontosaurusrex_ is now known as brontosaurusrex | ||
| escott | Zw33t, in order to do this correctly you need to define exactly what you want the other user to be able to do, and how they will access the system. there may be a very easy way to set things up | 19:45 |
| escott | Zw33t, but you haven't told us what you want to accomplish other than some ambiguous desire to "restrict access" | 19:45 |
| WalterN | what is this when I go to websites and stuff it says something like "would you like to install facebook messenger for quicker access"? | 19:45 |
| Zw33t | as i said, i want to create some users that can access /home/game/addons and change files there, but not see files in /home/game , /var/ etc. | 19:46 |

| coolstar | how do I install VirtualBox guest additions on Ubuntu 12.10? | 19:46 |
| Zw33t | @escott ;) | 19:46 |
| escott | Zw33t, you are failing to understand a very basic conceptual thing about OSes... so you are missing the point of the question | 19:46 |
| bekks | coolstar: By pressing ctrl+d in the vm window, and following the instructions of the vbox manual. | 19:46 |
| coolstar | bekks: already tried. installation fails | 19:47 |
| bekks | Zw33t: Please read the permissions link you've been given - it explains what permissions are. | 19:47 |
| bekks | coolstar: because...? | 19:47 |
| escott | Zw33t, if you open up a terminal it creates a process known as /bin/bash which has all the rights and capabilities that you are granted. to the computer you ARE /bin/bash and /bin/bash IS you | 19:47 |
| coolstar | bekks: unable to find Linux headers, and unknown X.org version | 19:47 |
| thrz | so when installing in uefi mode, it doesnt matter the choice where to put the bootloader? if I chooise the whole disk will it break my partitions? | 19:48 |
| coolstar | bekks: I'm using the amd64 version of ubuntu | 19:48 |
| escott | Zw33t, so when I ask what you want the other people to be able to do, i am asking what programs do you need them to be able to run | 19:48 |
| abbey | what is this? | 19:48 |
| bekks | coolstar: And...? Whats the exact, detailed message you get when trying to install the guest additions? | 19:48 |

| johnjacobjingerh | lol... i'm installing guest additions right now | 19:48 |
| johnjacobjingerh | that's funny | 19:48 |
| abbey | This | 19:48 |
| Zw33t | escott: primary FTP access, but alternative SFTP | 19:49 |
| johnjacobjingerh | conicidence i think not | 19:49 |

| dr_willis | !irc > abbey | 19:49 |
| ubottu | abbey, please see my private message | 19:49 |
| johnjacobjingerh | coolstar: u having issues installing guest additions | 19:49 |

| johnjacobjingerh | well server... but same steps | 19:49 |
| celthunder | apoplectic: i don't have one but most colloges and major corporate business's do | 19:49 |
| escott | Zw33t, that list of programs needs to be as short as possible, if it gets too long (and starts including things like scp or interpreters (bash,python) or compilers (gcc)) then it there really is not point in trying to secure them at all because they will be able to add the capabilities you initially restrict them | 19:49 |
| bekks | coolstar: You can also join #vbox | 19:49 |
| johnjacobjingerh | coolstar: what did you try so far? | 19:50 |
| coolstar | Building the main Guest Additions module ..fail! | 19:50 |
| escott | thrz, in uefi the bootloader goes in the EFI system partition which is probably sda1, but it is easily seen to be a 100MB FAT partition | 19:50 |

| johnjacobjingerh | is this what you are getting? | 19:51 |
| bekks | coolstar: You have to use 4.2.2 at least. | 19:51 |
| escott | Zw33t, all the functionality you need is baked into openssh. so just install openssh-server and make the appropriate changes to the configuration as indicated in the link above | 19:51 |
| escott | Zw33t, those instructions mention various compilation steps but you can skip them because you just apt-get install the server | 19:51 |
| celthunder | escott: i'd say giving ssh access of any kind with writing would really let you do whatever you want. | 19:52 |
| celthunder | escott: but then being totally secure totally makes actually doing anything impossible so :) | 19:52 |

| plustax | hey, im trying to install a gnome3 theme but it cant find the directory when I go to install it, so I downloaded the theme folder and am trying to drop it in /share/themes and it says I dont have the right permissions. What do I do? | 19:57 |
| Zw33t | escott: tnx, il just follow this guide then http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/ | 19:57 |

| plustax | Anyone help me out? | 19:58 |
| escott | !permissions | plustax | 19:58 |
| gordonjcp | plustax: use sudo | 19:58 |
| ubottu | plustax: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:58 |
| mdg2 | plustax: sorry I can't help | 19:58 |
| matthias_ | to connect internet i need to issue sudo modprobe b44 how can i make that happen automatically ... | 19:58 |
| plustax | so I just type sudo then the password and I will be root for gui maneuvers? | 19:59 |
| escott | plustax, if they specify a directory in $HOME that doesn't exist then just create it | 19:59 |
| escott | !gksudo | plustax | 19:59 |
| ubottu | plustax: 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) | 19:59 |
| plustax | I tried that and it makes me try and run something. I only want root so I can drag a file from one folder to another | 19:59 |
| [[-^berghem^-]] | Ciao a tutti :)) | 19:59 |
| hallofick | ciao o/ | 20:00 |
| toastcfh | lx | 20:00 |
| escott | plustax, there are multiple ways you could do this. if you put it in /usr/share/themes then the files need to be owned by root:root and you do everything with sudo/gksudo. then anyone can use that theme. or if its just for yourself then $HOME/.themes or $HOME/.icons (whatever it is) would be more appropriate | 20:00 |
| plustax | know what I mean? | 20:00 |
| Zw33t | OpenSSH versions up to (and including) 4.7; OpenSSH versions 4.9 upwards (using the original approach); or OpenSSH versions 4.9 upwards (using the new OpenSSH 'built in' capability). | 20:01 |
| [[-^berghem^-]] | dove posso trovare quotidiani tedeschi in pdf | 20:01 |
| plustax | escott, I guess I dont understand what you mean. Just tell me how to extract this 7z file into the themes folder | 20:01 |
| Zw33t | witch one sould i use escott? | 20:01 |
| escott | plustax, to copy a file as root "sudo cp sourcefile destinationfile" | 20:01 |
| plustax | oh okay | 20:01 |
| Eagleman | What would be a good hostname for an allround ubuntu server ? | 20:01 |
| mdg2 | Eagleman: allubuntu? | 20:01 |
| escott | Zw33t, the builtin capability (4.9 and up) | 20:01 |
| escott | Zw33t, skip steps 1-6 | 20:02 |
| johnjacobjingerh | so is webmin no longer supported on ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| brontosaurusrex | Eagleman: machineinthecelar ? | 20:02 |
| johnjacobjingerh | is there something similar to webmin? | 20:02 |
| yourfriendisaaac | Although the driver is installed and the printer shows up in my network, my Kodak ESP C315 will not print. What settings should I be looking at and how do I get it to respond? | 20:02 |

| Lil | umm, wtf | 20:02 |
| Lil | Is there anyway to turn this amazon shit out of the results? | 20:02 |
| Zw33t | escott so just apt-get openssh-server | 20:02 |

| gordonjcp | johnjacobjingerh: webmin is pretty horrible anyway | 20:04 |
| drwho | Why is the desktop locked on gnome-fallback in 12.10? I can't add anything to it | 20:04 |
| johnjacobjingerh | gordonjcp, yea i agree, but i am familiar with it | 20:04 |
| johnjacobjingerh | are there alternatives that the ubuntu community recommends? | 20:04 |
| johnjacobjingerh | is Landscape kinda like webmin? | 20:05 |
| escott | Zw33t, if the sftp server has any kind of logging capability, but the ability to log is itself a security risk because to log the sftp server process needs access to a file outside the CHROOT, so it would have to open the file, CHROOT itself and then protect that filedescriptor in case the sftp server process was ever compromised | 20:05 |
| gordonjcp | johnjacobjingerh: not entirely | 20:05 |
| brontosaurusrex | johnjacobjingerh: perhaps try #ubuntu-server | 20:05 |
| coolstar | bekks: just checked for updates in virtualbox and it said I was on the latest | 20:05 |
| Lil | Whoever thought it would be a good idea to include those amazon results in a search... should be shot. | 20:05 |
| Zw33t | escott ok tnx :-) | 20:05 |
| Lil | Guess it's time to look into other distros | 20:06 |
| coolstar | bekks: the log states it couldn't find the sources of my current Linux Kernel | 20:06 |
| bekks | coolstar: Then you did not check correctly. The latest version on the official website is 4.2.2 | 20:06 |
| matthias_ | anyone running 12.10 with braodcom iisues solved ????? | 20:06 |
| bekks | coolstar: Then install the headers for your current kernel. | 20:06 |
| johnjacobjingerh | good idea brontosaurusrex | 20:06 |
| matthias_ | sorry Broadcom wireless solved | 20:06 |
| johnjacobjingerh | coolstar: did you try my link | 20:06 |
| johnjacobjingerh | that explains how to do it there | 20:07 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: kodac? Need to check open printing.org to see if they have support | 20:07 |
| coolstar | johnjacobjingerh: ah, I just have to install virtualbox-guest-x11 | 20:07 |
| bekks | johnjacobjingerh: Thats wrong. His version does not support the version of the X server. So your link will NOT solve his problem. | 20:07 |
| bekks | coolstar: No. | 20:07 |
| plustax | All I want is to operate GUI in root. I dont want to use command line | 20:07 |
| plustax | anyone tell me the command to act as root in GUI? | 20:07 |
| johnjacobjingerh | bekks worked for me and i just did it | 20:07 |
| bekks | coolstar: Do NOT mix different packet versions, that will break it. | 20:08 |
| johnjacobjingerh | !root plustax | 20:08 |
| yourfriendisaaac | mgd2 the driver is in the repository and installed on my pc | 20:08 |
| johnjacobjingerh | !root | 20:08 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:08 |
| Zw33t | escott: first line "Modify /usr/local/etc/sshd_config" | 20:08 |
| Zw33t | file does not exist | 20:08 |
| escott | Zw33t, /etc | 20:08 |
| coolstar | johnjacobjingerh, bekks: ok. I'm gonna install the linux headers and see if I can update virtualbox | 20:08 |
| escott | plustax, i would discourage doing that but the gui filemanager is called "nautilus" | 20:09 |
| Zw33t | how u know such things :s | 20:09 |
| Zw33t | tnx! | 20:09 |
| bekks | johnjacobjingerh: Where did you install that guest additions package? In the guest or in the host? | 20:09 |
| coolstar | johnjacobjingerh, bekks: linux-headers-3.5.0-17 is already installed... | 20:10 |
| yourfriendisaaac | mgd2: the driver is in the repository and installed on my pc | 20:10 |
| coolstar | what's the right package for x64 ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| Zw33t | escott: so i guess its /etc/ssh/sshd | 20:10 |
| joe_thetree | chmod has no effect at all, what's going wrong? chmod 777 file | 20:10 |
| escott | Zw33t, almost all system config files are in /etc. that just said /usr/local because they had previously compiled it. its actually going to be /etc/ssh/something | 20:10 |
| escott | joe_thetree, are you the files owner? | 20:10 |
| bekks | coolstar: where did you try that? In the host or in the guest? | 20:10 |
| joe_thetree | escott, yes | 20:10 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: what happens when you try to print a test page? | 20:11 |
| coolstar | bekks: installing guest additions? In the guest | 20:11 |
| escott | joe_thetree, is the file on an NTFS or FAT filesystem? | 20:11 |
| joe_thetree | ntfs | 20:11 |
| Klikini | Random: I have to do this every time I reinstall, so I figured it would be best to put on my blog already. http://eat-more-pi.blogspot.com/2012/10/ubuntu-suspendreboot-issue.html | 20:11 |
| escott | joe_thetree, ntfs <- does not support POSIX permissions | 20:11 |
| joe_thetree | escott, oh - so I need to copy that file to somewhere else? or is there another workaround? | 20:11 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: do you have permissions for lpadmin? | 20:12 |
| yourfriendisaaac | mgd2: nothing no errors.. send page to the printer but no response in term of actual printing | 20:12 |
| escott | joe_thetree, you can change the mount options to specify a different owner group owner or default permissions set | 20:12 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: check your group settings via terminal, i.e. type "groups" and post them | 20:13 |
| escott | joe_thetree, on top of that if this is a user mount (just plug in the usb and it auto-mounts) then it is probably mounted with noexec because it it mounted user so you will never be able to execute a file | 20:13 |
| joe_thetree | escott, it's my windows partition | 20:14 |

| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: those are good. Open up the printer properties and click on Policies | 20:16 |
| escott | joe_thetree, then changing the mount options is probably not an appropriate action | 20:16 |
| escott | joe_thetree, just copy the file off to another location | 20:16 |

| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: you could try setting up the printer via webbrowser and use cups | 20:50 |
| yourfriendisaaac | mgd2: what do you mean? | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: did you add a boot background image or some such | 20:51 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: basically you open your browser and in the address type "localhost" and it should bring up the cups webpage | 20:51 |
| mdg2 | yourfriendisaaac: from there you can add the printer | 20:52 |
| Alpha-Omega | ActionParsnip no I just upgraded the system to 12.10 | 20:52 |

| jrib | Cosmin: yes | 21:39 |
| Cosmin | I just insert a CD to install my Wi-fi and this error poped up | 21:39 |

| wilee-nilee | it* | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Cosmin: what wifi chip are you using? | 21:40 |
| escott | sabrina, im not following. are you saying it IS turning off but at too low a temp, or that it is NOT turning off and you want it to | 21:40 |
| Cosmin | what i read on the cd no, its not only windows drivers only | 21:40 |
| Cosmin | trendnet, and i think you are right | 21:40 |

| wilee-nilee | XliamX, You can actually lload grub 2 to a thumb and multiboot, but there are apps that do it more efficiently. | 21:40 |
| Cosmin | i am used with windows, first time with ubuntu | 21:40 |
| escott | Zw33t, try 755 instead of 775 | 21:40 |

| escott | Zw33t, sudo chmod 755 /home/usertest | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Cosmin: run: sudo lshw -C network there will be a product line which tells you the chip | 21:40 |
| Cosmin | about the windows only cd | 21:41 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: could you link me? Would it be able to support the isos I use (Win7 installer, WinVista installer, UBCD4Win, Hirens) | 21:41 |
| laughalot | hi | 21:41 |
| Cosmin | k | 21:41 |
| Cosmin | cause u made me remind about this, let me try something first, i think you are right about the windows only cd... first time with ubuntu so please forgive me | 21:41 |
| Cosmin | in my reflex is put cd and works | 21:41 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: I'm familiar with XBOOT, Sardu, Yumi, but they are kind of buggy when supporting what I need them to... so I brewed my own using FiraDisk and grub | 21:42 |

| XliamX | wilee-nilee: Won't be able to do this in windows will I? | 21:43 |
| escott | Zw33t, yes you would need to run sudo service ssh restart, but it might also be that "internal-sftp" is incorrect and it might need to be "Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server" | 21:44 |

| XliamX | wilee-nilee: Yeah. That's what it looked like hah | 21:45 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, I have found some of the windows based multi loaders problematic, but I'm a linux user 99.99% of the time. | 21:45 |
| sabrina | escott i want an app like this ubutu termometer cpu see in google but for lubuntu 12,04 | 21:45 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: Yeah, I'm not much of a linux user... so I'm not that privy to coding. I mean.. I know enough to support myself until I run into a problem that's above my head | 21:46 |
| escott | sabrina, you want something to display the temperature? | 21:46 |
| kermit | i just upgaded from 11.04 to 12.04 and rebooted and the screen is blank and its not booting | 21:46 |

| sabrina | escott i want shutdown the pc for temperature at 75 C | 21:47 |
| escott | Zw33t, you can't but you can add the "game" user to the "testuser" group | 21:47 |
| sabrina | escott for more safe for my pc | 21:48 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, I think some are intimidated by open source when if you start with a largely supported version like ubuntu or even archlinux which has great wiki's you can pick up on it after awhile. | 21:48 |
| Phaba | where are system logs kept? | 21:48 |
| Zw33t | escott: sould i not create another group with access to that folder and add "game" ? Because "testuser" group have "only" access to it? | 21:49 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: so what would you suggest to build a multiboot flash drive with Win7 installer, WinVista installer, Hirens, UBCD4Win, Ubuntu live distro, and another random bootable iso? The multiboot you linked? | 21:49 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, in the .conf script for conky how do i get the whole window (half is off the screen of comp.) to show fully? | 21:49 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, I would not really know from windows. | 21:49 |
| escott | Zw33t, thats not true. you could have a folder in /home/testuser that is owned by the game group | 21:49 |
| Zw33t | escott: Yes but i want a folder in /home/game to be owner by root, but game sould have full access to it too | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, I would install ubuntu but thats me, and use the multisystem, while learning ubuntu. | 21:50 |
| escott | Zw33t, but you will want to do things with the groups feature. so either game is in testuser group or testuser has a folder which is setgid/setuid and owned by game | 21:50 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: i used this process http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/firawiniso | 21:50 |
| escott | sabrina, http://code.rawlinson.us/2008/11/ubuntu-auto-shutdown-due-to-high-cpu.html | 21:50 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: it's not to multiboot on a specific system... these are just tools i need to carry around with me for work | 21:51 |
| jrib | v | 21:51 |
| Cosmin | ActionParsnip: I'm back, I have the same problem with all my CD's plus my USB | 21:51 |
| escott | sabrina, these acpi thermal zones are all controlled by the hardware so i'm still unsure what you are needing | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, Ah. | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | XliamX, Depending on what your work is a linux disc can be the tool for recovering some windows data, live cd's are easier to use. | 21:52 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: my work mostly consists of reinstalling windows OS's, drivers, diagnostics, | 21:54 |
| sabrina | escott and why windows have an app like this for this action? http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ | 21:54 |
| escott | Zw33t, the only requirement that sftp puts on things is that /home/username be 755 and owned by root (this is to prevent a race condition between when sftp finds the fd for /home/username and when it chroots into /home/username) beyond that you can do anything you wnat | 21:54 |
| Cosmin | ActionParsnip: I think the most easiest way to fix this is to install the 12.04 version of Ubuntu? even if I don't want, I want to struggle a little bit with this | 21:54 |
| escott | sabrina, i have no idea what that application does. i've never heard of it. if you care to explain what feature you need we can tell you how to do it | 21:55 |
| XliamX | wilee-nilee: but that's just when it comes to software... | 21:55 |
| Zw33t | escott: but the user do not have permission to change / create / upload a file in the dir.. | 21:56 |
| sabrina | escott CPU Thermometer will show CPUID, Frequency, Core Number and CPU current temperature. Program provide some useful functions, when the CPU temperature over some value that you set, it can "Show warning message", "Shutdown computer" or "Reboot computer", it can protect your PCs. | 21:56 |
| sabrina | escott ok ?? | 21:56 |
| escott | Zw33t, you will need to create a subfolder in /home/username that the user will be able to do his stuff in. so they will not be able to sftp and put stuff in the sftp root folder, instead they will have to put it in some subfolder | 21:56 |
| sabrina | escott when the CPU temperature over some value that you set i want to do this in lubuntu 12.04 | 21:58 |
| escott | sabrina, various applications will show the temperature. there are applets for the panels there are desktop applets. the reboot function just needs a daemon to monitor the temp, perhaps fancontrol can do that | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Cosmin: could go for a clean install of 12.10 first | 21:58 |
| sabrina | escott fancontrol app is for ubuntu 12.04 ? | 21:59 |
| WeThePeople | is there a way to X - Y coordinates in a .sh | 21:59 |
| WeThePeople | i mean .conf | 22:00 |
| WeThePeople | for window placement | 22:00 |
| escott | sabrina, maybe. its not something i've messed with. im not clear if you want the display functionality or the safe shutdown functionality | 22:02 |

| ActionParsnip | HardDisk: why not just use your backups? | 22:47 |
| hazardous | have you tried googling HardDisk | 22:47 |
| HardDisk | ActionParsnip, this was a test to see if it was possible to recover. | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | HardDisk: I see | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | HardDisk: foremost is pretty sweet, depends how big the partition is | 22:47 |
| erpo | Hi all. I'm looking for a music manager for Ubuntu that can sync playlists to my android device. Any recommendations? | 22:47 |
| HardDisk | non of the files in the folder are docs/images they are of other types. | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | HardDisk: foremost willrecover everyting, so file type is moot | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | erpo: try banshee and rhythmnbox | 22:48 |
| HardDisk | I'll test that | 22:48 |
| HardDisk | actually foremost doesnt recover everything | 22:49 |
| HardDisk | not by default. | 22:49 |
| kermit | ActionParsnip: Intel(r)Eaglelake Graphics Controller .. it seems sometimes grub picks an unusable mode.. how do i tell grub to not change graphic modes? | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | HardDisk: you need to give it some parameters | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | kermit: add the boot option: nomodeset | 22:50 |
| kermit | ActionParsnip: thats a kernel option, not a grub option | 22:50 |
| accipter | I am having some issues with python paths where install packages can't be loaded. Do I need to modify PYTHONPATH to include /usr/lib/pyshared? | 22:51 |
| jrib | accipter: be more specific | 22:51 |
| accipter | jrib: say I install matplotlib via apt-get install python-matplotlib. If I do python; import matplotlib it reports that matplotlib can't be found | 22:52 |
| pngl | Hi, I just upgraded from 10.10 to 12.04. Unity defaults to 2D mode and I don't understand much about this new version. How can I enable 3D mode ? (My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD3650) | 22:52 |
| jrib | accipter: what is the output of « which python » and « python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' »? | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kermit: you set the boot option for the kernel using Grub | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kermit: why is it importnat WHAT it is, just apply it and test | 22:53 |
| kermit | ActionParsnip: i dont think that will effect the mode grub is using to display the grub menu | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kermit: it can and does | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | kermit | 22:54 |
| ubottu | kermit: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kermit: its free to try, why are you wasting all this time rather than just trying it. Makes no sense at all | 22:54 |

| L3top | do you have a support question coolstar? | 23:01 |
| accipter | jrib: i might have, but I don't remember doing so | 23:01 |
| jrib | accipter: ok, well if you remove the python you installed to /usr/local/, then you should be ok | 23:01 |

| AndyOpie150 | Hello out there.... Question: How do you make the unity application dock hide when on internet, but give me the space it occupied before so I don't have to keep scrolling left to right on those site's that don't auto fit the page (which is quite a lot). I would like it to behave like Docky in that respect. The best i can do is make it hide, but the dock is still there (just transparent) so I still cant use that space. | 23:06 |
| bestdnd | any way to compile and run a C file in one line? i know i can use gcc to compile and then call the output file, but i want it to be in one line (so i can re-run it with minimal clicks) | 23:07 |
| jrib | bestdnd: you can separate commands with ; | 23:07 |
| L3top | why would you recompile often? | 23:07 |
| habstinat | bestdnd: Or you can use "command1 && command2", so if command1 fails command2 won't execute | 23:08 |
| sabrina | ActionParsnip i must use comands of console for use watchdog? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/watchdog.8.html | 23:08 |
| g00df00d | quit | 23:08 |

| sabrina | Actionparsnip and this software could be a risk for my kernel or ubuntu ? | 23:12 |
| === gartral|Away is now known as gartral | ||
| yacc | sabrina, ? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrina: never used it, sorry | 23:14 |
| sabrina | yacc yeah i dont know if this software is sure and must be difficult use it | 23:15 |
| ikonia | sabrina: just set auto shutdown in the bios | 23:15 |
| ikonia | it's easy and has no dependency on the OS | 23:16 |
| yacc | sabrina, watchdog? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | you seem to be struggling with this from the OS, so do it from the BIOS | 23:16 |
| SnapSnap | I'm getting an error message when I start my computer: "Disk drive /tmp not ready yet or not available". I just upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04, and this didn't happen before the upgrade. | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | yacc: http://linux.die.net/man/8/watchdog | 23:17 |
| sabrina | ikonia ok but i cant know if work fine because this software cant give me info | 23:17 |
| yacc | sabrina, watchdog is just what the manpage says => it's kind of a "dead man switch", cheap version. (Basically, as long the user space watch dog process runs often enough to service the /dev/watchdog device, the kernel considers everything okay, as in "even if it's bad, it will fix itself", while if the watchdog user space process dies, it considers the system fucked up enough that will hard reset the box. | 23:18 |
| ikonia | sabrina: I don't know what you mean - just set the auto shutdown temperature in the bios | 23:18 |
| ikonia | sabrina: you've had about 10 different bits of how to do this in Ubuntu and don't seem to grasp | 23:18 |
| sabrina | ikonia because hast a gui | 23:18 |
| ikonia | sabrina: the BIOS should be quite clear and easy to set a shutdown temperatture | 23:18 |
| === bfortified is now known as bfortifiedY | ||
| ikonia | sabrina: the bios has a very simple gui | 23:18 |
| sabrina | hasnt* | 23:18 |
| ikonia | sabrina: it's menu, just type in the temperature you want it to shutdown on | 23:19 |
| ikonia | sabrina: if that is a task that is too complex, you will struggle to use ubuntu, let alone set auto shutdown | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | if the pc us overheating that much... time to clean it.. and get better fans. ;-) | 23:19 |
| AndyOpie150 | SnapSnap: Have you tried running burning the Boot-Repair.iso to a cd and running it? | 23:20 |
| yacc | ikonia: Well, well, AFAIK, BIOS define a shutdown temperature, but do not allow one to set it. | 23:21 |
| sabrina | ikonia i only want set the auto shutdown for temperature at 75 C cpu | 23:21 |
| ikonia | yacc: never seen one not have a temperature | 23:21 |
| ikonia | sabrina: yes, I understand that, normally you can set that in a the bios | 23:21 |
| sabrina | ikonia but with a notice in my bar of ubuntu | 23:22 |
| ikonia | sabrina: that's not going to happen | 23:22 |
| sabrina | ikonia ever | 23:22 |
| yacc | ikonia: not that it especially matters, I had at least one HP laptop that provided the wrong temperature in the BIOS, the Windows setup fixed that, but my Linux experience was enhanced by randon S5 states ;( | 23:22 |
| ikonia | yacc: I'm just bored of seeing the same question being asked 200 times by the same person | 23:22 |
| SunMoonStar | Hey guys. I'm trying to run a .py file that has an 'import pylab' statement and I get the error 'ImportError: No such module pylab.' Is there something wrong with my python? Can anyone help me get it installed? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | yacc: it's not going to happen, so using the bios seems a simple method due to it being a one line change in a menu | 23:23 |
| cini | is there embedded firewall in kubuntu? | 23:23 |
| ikonia | cini: iptables | 23:23 |
| === luis_inacioL_da_ is now known as chicognu | ||
| cini | thank You | 23:23 |
| yacc | ikonia: Well, I personally haven't seen a BIOS where one can SET the temperature for S5, but then, I don't spend that much time in BIOS ;) | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !find pylab | 23:24 |

| sabrina | ikonia im using psensor in lubuntu but psensor hasnt that option of shutdown for temperature on demand | 23:24 |
| yacc | Btw, what's Qingyun Cao? | 23:24 |
| ikonia | sabrina: right, so why are you using it ? | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | SunMoonStar: I'd ask in #python too | 23:24 |
| stodge | Is Virtual Box the best/only way to quickly get VMs of various Linux distros up and running? | 23:25 |
| SunMoonStar | ActionParsnip: oh ok i will try. PS how do I stop the login/logout messages (i'm using pidgin) | 23:25 |
| sabrina | ikonia im using psensor because can give me info and notice of my temperature cpu and alerts | 23:25 |
| ikonia | stodge: many virtual options | 23:25 |
| stodge | ikonia: Any preferences or suggestions? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | sabrina: but it can't do what you want....so what's the point of using it | 23:26 |
| stodge | Ideally I'd like to download a VM of another Linux distro without having to install the whole OS by hand | 23:26 |
| ikonia | stodge: doing what you are suggesting is not something I'd recommend | 23:26 |
| stodge | ok | 23:27 |
| ikonia | stodge: downloading an image will determain what virtual software you have to use | 23:27 |
| stodge | True | 23:27 |
| ikonia | stodge: not all images work with all vm software | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SunMoonStar: in the plugins menu, enable the join/part messages plugin | 23:27 |

| stodge | And is there a way to stop the dash from appearing on all monitors? | 23:28 |
| stodge | Oops found it | 23:29 |
| ikonia | sabrina: so if you have the solution what's the problem ?? why do you keep asking for help | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | SunMoonStar: gotta love pidgin :) | 23:29 |
| sabrina | ikonia if im out and my pc is on turn psensor isnt usefulç | 23:30 |
| SunMoonStar | ActionParsnip: :) yeah though the plugin was already not checked. i get these annoying messages in the channel about 'entered room' and 'left room' | 23:30 |
| ikonia | sabrina: it doesn't do that - so if the tool you are using doesn't do that, why are you using it | 23:30 |
| ikonia | sabrina: actually - don't bother responding, I'm not interested, you seem to want your software to do what it can't and you don't want to have other options. | 23:31 |
| sabrina | ikonia give me alternatives or similars solutions for my question or problem | 23:31 |
| ikonia | sabrina: easy solution - set it in the bios | 23:32 |
| ikonia | sabrina: job done - no problems, | 23:32 |
| sabrina | and if the bios break and dont work fine for hardware | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | if the bios breaks.. you got bigger problems | 23:33 |
| ikonia | sabrina: if the bios breaks, your machine is dead and it won't matter | 23:33 |
| ikonia | sabrina: just set it in the bios and stop making it hard for yourself | 23:33 |
| sabrina | ikonia and for software with ubuntu is impossible ? http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ | 23:35 |
| ikonia | sabrina: you've been told about 10 times different options for how to do it in ubuntu and you don't seem to understand, so just use the bios | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | or monitor the output of 'sensors' in a script. ;) | 23:36 |
