[00:00] Jimster480-L: nah, the service is called apache2 [00:02] is not running, so I tried to purge apache2, but during the execution I have this: warning: ignoring request to remove apache2-common which isn't installed [00:02] itatitat: well if you want to use apache2, you should install it [00:03] wait wait (i believe I installed it; i made many tries, so maybe) [00:03] itatitat: so you have apache2 running now? [00:03] apache2 on what though jrib? it makes no senes [00:04] Hi, Im on ubuntu 12.10 , the wireless shows full signal but It wont connect, it connects only when I am very near to router ? Why ? Thank you [00:04] xbmc media center is using this driver for the video card: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x209) . However, I have a cedar trail gpu and I made it work good (I can see video very well with other programs). Where could be the problem? [00:05] [01:58] [01:57] I can't check xorg.conf (I don't have this file) [00:05] Jimster480-L: well we're talking about service names at the moment. The name for the service corresponding to apache's http server is "apache2". Its init script is /etc/init.d/apache2 [00:05] jrib: really I dont know, I had some error trying to install, and removing, Im trying with autoremove (that was in the message) [00:05] itatitat: you should pastebin what you are doing and the full output [00:05] ActionParsnip: md5sum.exe response http://pastebin.com/b4tuiR15 === Fike_ is now known as Fike [00:06] Hi guys [00:07] jrib: [00:07] jrib: okok, I'll paste, its very strange [00:07] I am looking for some guidance and mentoring on working with Ubuntu on OpenStack and Hadoop for commercial cloud deployment [00:07] itatitat: ok, use a pastebin like http://paste.ubuntu.com for example [00:07] If anyone can help with some resources and perhaps teaching please msg me :) [00:09] https://gist.github.com/3925306 [00:09] when installing postgresql it defaults to ascii locale instead of utf8. how do I make the package use utf8? [00:09] anyone here available for distributed networking solutions help? [00:09] jrib: as you can see, look that its installed fine, but later, when I try to run apache2 doesnt find httpd.conf [00:10] itatitat: do you have /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ? === jimerick1on is now known as jimerickson [00:11] jrib: yes, right now I made a locate, is in /etc/apache2/conf.d/httpd.conf [00:11] i have a set of packages (namely Zend Server) that were making apache segfault after upgrading to 12.04 from 10.04 so I did a purge on all the zend + php packages and toasted /usr/local/zend but now when I try to reinstall it seems to think some of that filesystem should be there like its not doing all the setup scripts. how do I make it forget its ever had those? [00:11] somethinginteres: why not use gui: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=winMD5Sum.png [00:12] ahmad: you might find some useful info here http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/insights [00:12] itatitat: so that's "no". Umm, do you have configuration that you want to keep or is it ok to purge your apache configuration? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:12] jrib: Im going to purge it [00:12] ActionParsnip: Went ahead and used GUI says the md5 checksums are the same [00:12] itatitat: tell me the result of this command: grep httpd.conf /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2* [00:13] jrib: https://gist.github.com/3925306#comments [00:14] itatitat: sudo apt-get purge apache2.2-common [00:14] i am trying to install my wifi driver but i got errors while compiling http://pastebin.com/Ak9cJD3n [00:14] got a real quick packaging question : Imagine I developed ( or am in the process of developing ) an application, and i want to package it - surely I don't need to create an orig tarball just to package it - i mean I have all the code there with a debian folder...am I missing something (all the guides assume you are packaging an upstream tarball) [00:14] somethinginteres: cool, the file is good then :). Please MD5 sum in future [00:14] ActionParsnip: will do. [00:15] computa_mike: #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-packaging === staffpony is now known as Fuchs [00:15] computa_mike: if you have a make file then you can use checkinstall to make a deb file [00:15] jrib: done. Now I reinstall? [00:15] itatitat: now: sudo apt-get install apache2 [00:16] computa_mike: fyi, checkinstall is NOT suitable for creating distributable DEBs :( [00:16] zak, 12.10 ? [00:16] jrib: running, buff...............really I didnt know how to solf this situation, thanks a lot jrib [00:17] zykotick9: ahh - ok...Might try the MOTU - thanks for the heads up... [00:17] zak_, 12.10 ? [00:17] itatitat: it was because you kept your old apache2.conf. The old one expected a /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but the new packaging deleted /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and moved it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/httpd.conf (I think) [00:17] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the advice - I'll read up on it - something I was not aware of. [00:18] aaaaaaaaah, wow...........sure [00:18] computa_mike: instead of running: sudo make install just run: checkinstall (may need sudo) [00:18] yep [00:19] zak_, there is no more recent drivers ? [00:19] zak_, i see ... usb_linux_v2.6.6.0 ... [00:21] zak_, 12.10 uses 3.5.x kernel [00:21] ActionParsnip: I'll give it a go - I'm writing a package that 'compiles' an epub so if you install the package you get a epub file, but if you get the source package you can see the source that made that epub. Compilation in this context is more like joining and zipping of content to make a solution. [00:21] alexfpms: What are you trying to do / what problem are you having? [00:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How do i extract files under .tcl.gz [00:21] alexfpms: ? [00:22] Jordan_U, i have no problem [00:22] alexfpms: Ahh, that explains why I couldn't figure out what it was. Ignore me then :) [00:22] zak__, the driver you seem try to compile is for 2.6.x kernel version [00:22] hey :) [00:23] zak__, 12.10 now uses 3.5.x kernel version [00:23] zak__, headers was changed since [00:23] zak__: What happens when you try to use wireless with the default drivers? [00:24] Jordan_U: default driver ?i can't even connect or configure it [00:25] Jordan_U, i recall, effectively i have one problem. Do you know how to make work vmware 5 under 12.10 ???

[00:31] Looking for help: I attempted a dist-upgrade via the Update Manager gui from precise to quantal. I left it for a few hours to run and when I came back, I found a dialog telling me the process had crashed. I clicked 'Continue'. I attempted an 'apt-get install -f' but got a dpkg error about 'mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable package instances present'. Not sure what to do now. [00:31] Jordan_U: true [00:31] puff: you could grab the debs yourself for your arch and install them manually [00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i keep getting ailed to FORK [00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> must be ram runnng low : / [00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Failed * [00:33] ActionParsnip: Doh, I just realized, that page says "Status: Deleted" [00:34] how can i check number of packages left to install when doing dist upgrade via update manager? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:35] ActionParsnip: "Deleted, see this debian bug... written in russian" [00:35] ActionParsnip: My CPU is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, so that would be i386? [00:37] puff: run: uname -m [00:37] puff: a 64bit CPU can run both 64bit and 32bit OS [00:37] puff: so stating the CPU is only half useful :) [00:37] ActionParsnip: I seem to recall some confusing strangeness with the architectures, back when I installed this thing. [00:37] Linux redbitter 3.0.0-26-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 25 17:19:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:37] so i get a pop-up that a system program problem was detected and do i want to report it [00:37] but nowhere does it say what the problem was [00:37] puff: your OS is 64bit [00:37] or what the program was for that matter [00:37] ActionParsnip: and amd64 cpu can run both 32&64 bit ;) [00:37] ActionParsnip: Yup. [00:38] ActionParsnip: ISTR some weirdness where despite it being intel I had to use an amd64 downlaod of some sort :-) [00:38] puff: so you'll want a 64bit deb of the package [00:38] puff: its just an old name that stuck [00:38] puff: it's like 'IDE hard drive' and so forth [00:39] ActionParsnip: Yes, but still confusing. So the question is, where/how do I *find* the 64bit deb of that package? I'm here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/libxprintapputil1/1:1.0.1.xsf1-3 [00:39] puff, amd64 It is because AMD was the first to introduce 64bit architecture [00:40] puff: not sure really, you may need to build it [00:40] puff, so intel has to follow [00:40] Joy. [00:40] I am currently in the middle of upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10. It is currently installing upgrades but I am quickly running out of space on the disk... Is this going to cause a problem or did the upgrader already ensure that I won't run out of space? [00:40] alexfpms: Ah yeah, now I remember.... [00:40] EuropaCar: That could definitely cause problems. [00:40] puff, they had to follow them for compatibility reasons [00:41] EuropaCar: If there is anything big that you can safely delete it would definitly be good to do so before you run out of space and the upgrade fails. [00:41] puff, so they are 100% compatible [00:41] maybe remove some old kernels from /boot/ [00:41] alexfpms: I dunno, I think it may have been DEC or MIPS (checking) [00:41] ActionParsnip: Hm, so I just tweaked the URL, subbed amd64 for i386: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/libxprintapputil1/1:1.0.1.xsf1-3 [00:41] (repeating -- didn't get an answer before) Looking for help: I attempted a dist-upgrade via the Update Manager gui from precise to quantal.

[00:42] ActionParsnip: It says there it's a binary from the natty release... think that'll matter? [00:42] I don't have any personal files on the ubuntu partition.. is there any way to manually free disk space during an upgrade? [00:43] !aptfix | brianjcohen [00:43] brianjcohen: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [00:43] EuropaCar: First, how long would you estimate you have before you run out of space? === adrianrly is now known as adrianrly|OFF [00:43] ActionParsnip: And the other package, libxprintutil1, says it's a build from maverick. [00:43] is it ok to use an exFAT partition for shared data between linux - windows ? [00:43] EuropaCar: clean up log files, clear out caches... [00:44] ajacom: No, support for exFAT in GNU/Linux still isn't great. [00:44] Jordan_U: it's hard to say but I started the upgrade with 2GB free space. And right now it's half way through the installation portion (after downloading packages) and down to 200mb [00:44] ActionParsnip: didn't work.

[00:44] EuropaCar: You can also relocate some bulky stuff off the ubuntu partition [00:44] ActionParsnip, we are speeking here about 64bit x86 compatible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 [00:45] ajacom, It is just a share you don't want to write to a windows set up persay.

[00:46] ActionParsnip, i was talking about PC [00:46] EuropaCar: install localpurge and run it to purge some excess locale files. [00:46] alexfpms: then you need to narrow it a little [00:46] should I update to 12.10? [00:47] whenever i launch an application from terminal, the application closes whenever I close terminal. using & to make it a background process doesn't help, nor does using nohup [00:47] ActionParsnip, I was talking why it is called amd64 [00:47] goddard, Your asking the channel. ;) [00:47] infectedorganism: tried & ? [00:47] yes [00:47] infectedorganism: how did you use nohup? [00:47] ActionParsnip, but you're right next time i'll be more specific [00:47] wilee-nilee: yeah who else [00:47] alexfpms: you said they were first, and they weren't [00:47] Jordan_U: root partition is 11GB and everythjing is on that one root partition [00:47] goddard, How about yourself. [00:47] jrib, for instace.. nohup mplayer Videos/movies/movie.avi [00:48] alexfpms: its cool, just tweaked in my brain :) [00:48] infectedorganism: that will work [00:48] puff: i'll try that! but for example i can't seem to uninstall packages while the upgade is running [00:48] alexfpms: one of those 'oh man....who was it...' sorta pub quiz moments where you know it :) [00:48] ActionParsnip, x86-64 compatible specification was created by AMD [00:48] hi, I have a user upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 via the update manager. Is there a way to tail the process via terminal as I have access via ssh?

[00:49] ActionParsnip, off course [00:49] goddard, I'm suggeting two things asking the channel is offtopic, gthe second is that this is your decision, not ours. ;) [00:50] crazydip: bug 1065806 [00:50] Launchpad bug 1065806 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Quantal) "diff window is too small on upgrade" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1065806 [00:50] Jordan_U: 17MB :-/ [00:50] trism: good thing i have meld installed and working :D [00:50] i need help [00:50] wilee-nilee: i dont see how it is off topic it is a technical question and yes all decisions are mine but I would rather hear from people that are running 12.04 and upgraded and any issues they had [00:50] EuropaCar: And "du -chs /boot"? [00:50] Hm... this thumb drive wouldn't eject, kept saying wait (for ~30 minutes), so finally I yanked it. Now I reinserted it and it shows up in the file browser but when I click it a popup says "Failed to mount "thumbdrivename". A job is pending on /dev/sdb1". How do I find this job and clear it? [00:51] Jordan_U: 477MB [00:51] puff: What filesystem is on this thumb drive? [00:51] Jordan_U: vfat. [00:51] brianjcohen: thats just a script with the 'synaptic fix package' commands in, dead useful [00:52] EuropaCar: OK, are you confident enough that you know how to move just your old kernels to another drive/partition (or delete them entirely if you have to)? === scouts is now known as sam-- [00:53] There's a strange startup program called umf that runs a shell script called dbus-session-addr-save.sh [00:53] Jordan_U: And when I try to right-click eject it, I get Failed to Eject etc, DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending.

Every time I install its very unstable, Mouse wont click on things, but keyboard always works. However it become unable to navagate because i cant close windows or anything [00:53] alusion: if you open the script, you may be able to work out what it does [00:54] i installed amd64 btw [00:54] 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] XMLnewbi: do you use a switchable video chip? [00:54] EuropaCar: You may not be able to do this during an upgrade, but try running "sudo apt-get clean". [00:54] XMLnewbi: did you fully update? [00:54] fully updated [00:54] 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] XMLnewbi: do you use a switchable video chip? [00:54] i have twin 550 nivida cards SLI [00:55] Jordan_U: I was wondering whether functions like apt-get clean would affect the installation [00:55] not sure what that is [00:55] anyone here use backup software? Looking for something that will backup my files automatically [00:55] XMLnewbi: did you install the nvidia-current package to get the nvidia proprietary video driver? [00:55] 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).

[00:56] yeah [00:56] I was able to get to command line and apt install install nivida drivers, didnt seem to work [00:56] 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] alusion: what is the output of: echo ${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS} [00:56] alusion: maybe the file is used by something [00:56] I reinstalled windows and going to try to VMware [00:56] thanks ActionParsnip and wilee-nilee [00:56] i just did apt-get clean..

[00:57] EuropaCar: wait and see... guess no choice now :D [00:57] 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] bjrohan: is openssh-server installed on the system? [00:57] bjrohan: is the IP of the sytstem the same as the one you are forwarding to in the router config? [00:58] 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] 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] !broadcom | bdcs [00:58] bdcs: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:59] ActionParsnip: yes openssh server is installed, on the computer I am on, which is also NOT port redirected [00:59] 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] 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] ActionParsnip: What are PPAs? [00:59] bjrohan: 3rd party sources for packages [00:59] ActionParsnip, thank you for the reply. I have followed that guide for my particular card to no avail =( [00:59] what kernel version is in 12.10? [00:59] !info linux-image [00:59] 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] 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] ActionParsnip: yes [01:00] EuropaCar: No, that doesn't affect things at all. [01:00] zykotick9: thanks! [01:01] bdcs: if you run: sudo iwlist scan eth3 do you see a lot of devices on the same channel? [01:01] bjrohan: i suggest you disable them then and retry [01:01] hello everybody, i'm using Linux Deepin, a distribution derived from ubuntu, my question is why my grub can fullscreen? [01:01] EuropaCar: How much free space do you have now? [01:02] bdcs: does the system have a switch or shortcut to enable / disable the wifi? [01:02] Jordan_U: 1.2GB now [01:02] ActionParsnip: disable the 3rd party then retry SSH though the internet? [01:02] ActionParsnip, It does have a switch and it is on. I can see WifI networks [01:02] 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] hualet: spinoff distributions aren't supported here [01:02] ActionParsnip, regarding iwlist, do you mean sudo iwlist eth3 scan ? [01:02] jrib, ok [01:02] There are 3 cells [01:03] i am on ubuntu 12.10. i need to change my login keyring password [01:03] EuropaCar: That's probably enough, but I'd still keep an eye on it. [01:03] 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] hualet: try #linuxdeepin [01:04] ActionParsnip, iwlist output, http://pastebin.com/sbD1aBuX [01:04] mca4444, You on the desktop and do you know the password that is there now? [01:04] ActionParsnip: whattya think? [01:04] EuropaCar: Just to be sure, what is the output of "du -sh /home/"? [01:04] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> even unp dont work [01:04] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i need to extract tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=247 [01:05] Jordan_U: it says 2.2GB [01:05] 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] EuropaCar: Ok, so there is definitely space that can be saved from your home directory. [01:05] ActionParsnip, are you a linuxdeepin user? can you get my question solved? [01:05] [_-S1L3NC3-_]: what does: file tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=247 output? [01:06] hualet: I don't use it. Sorry [01:06] ActionParsnip, ok... [01:06] Jordan_U: hmm do you think you could explain what you mean/how you deduced that? [01:06] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=247: gzip compressed data, was "noversions1.05.tcl", from Unix, last modified: Wed Aug 2 17:52:10 2000 [01:06] hualet: You can also try ##linux, or if it's a grub specific question (and if linuxdeepin uses grub2) you can try asking in #grub.

It doesnt seem to want to boot, its stuck at "installing VMware tools. Is there a command in termincal to start the grafical interface?

[01:22] zykotick9: because they are'nt really experience that's why [01:22] that's specious crazydip [01:22] zykotick9: its a tonne easier, fewer issues and no fluff from the old installs [01:22] crazydip: best of luck. (don't reply to me further) [01:22] crazydip: ^ === Sachiru is now known as Sachiru|AFK [01:23] ActionParsnip: agree 100% [01:24] maybe because I install at alpha 2 too, so its a better test if I clean install so I can report efectively on bugs in the OS rather than the old stuff messing up the install :D [01:24] ActionParsnip: all i have to say in reply. that was a very good answer. [01:25] 4 hours upgrade 1 hour fresh install with all the packages, and a clean setup. [01:25] ActionParsnip: development = release right now correct? you must miss +1. ;) [01:26] zykotick9: I'm masochistic like that :). Plus my hardware is super linux friendly [01:26] ActionParsnip: +1 on gnu/linux friendly h/w [01:27] does gsettings-data-convert leave a log anywhere? i think i know what happened: gsettings-data-convert crashed when trying to convert settings :/ [01:28] crazydip, that'is why people do clean install [01:29] zykotick9: its not fast, but it works :) [01:35] Hi, is it possible to detect the position of a terminal/app on the screen? [01:36] sasquatch7, what do you mean ? [01:36] hi guys [01:36] anyone possibly able to help me with an install of ubuntustudio ? [01:37] anyone here familar with distributed data services and openstack, hadoop, etc? [01:37] alexfpms: I'm attempting to create a tool to save all current processes (terminals and apps) and their positions on the screen, so that they will restart after a reboot. [01:37] sasquatch7, xwininfo [01:38] sasori: xprop -id [01:38] alexfpms: thanks I'll look into it! [01:38] vtech: go to ubuntu software center and search for it and install [01:38] anyone here familiar with distributed data services and openstack, hadoop, etc? [01:39] hi [01:40] can i ask something ? [01:40] ahmad, i'm talking about the full distro not just applying the packages [01:40] vetch: ahh sorry i haven't had any experience with installing it so [01:41] wonmin82, no you can't [01:41] ah no worries, i could just add the packages to ubuntu but i wanted it preconfigured rather than doing it manually [01:41] wonmin82, ask your question [01:41] thanks. [01:42] lol [01:42] I am installing ubuntu 12.10, and i found that the dialog box of installer is too big, so i can not click the next button in dialog box. [01:42] is it the bug of installer? how can i fix this? [01:42] workcjk: hold ALT and drag the window up from anywhere on the app [01:42] wonmin82, here you ask your question and if someone can help you get helped [01:43] wonmin82: You could also use the netinstaller. Then you won't have to worry about GUIs getting in your way. [01:44] !mini wonmin82 [01:44] could try double clicking the dialog titlebar to maximize [01:44] iono [01:44] !mini [01:44] 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 === krish is now known as Guest79164 [01:44] does the minimal cd dump you into dselect after installing the base system ? [01:44] aftee installing 12.04 [01:45] 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] thank you very much [01:45] wonmin82: also hold alt and click and drag [01:45] try that too, you can click anywhere on the window while holding alt [01:45] what command i have to give in grub customizer for booting [01:45] 12.04 [01:46] 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] where do I install the bootloader [01:47] Vbitz: Is this FakeRAID or true hardware RAID? [01:47] hp smart array [01:47] 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] help me for boot with updated 12.04 [01:48] Jordan_U: HP Smart Array [01:49] cgtdk: sorry it was a joke on v. old debian installers which would dump you into dselect, a legendarily difficult ncurses based package manager [01:50] I'm not good with jokes [01:50] oh god dselect [01:50] * Random832 has flashbacks [01:50] wastrel: sounds like aptitude a little :) [01:50] ActionParsnip: What's wrong with aptitude? [01:51] aptitude was great tools [01:51] The hardware is certified for ubuntu [01:52] 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] They just was lack a little features [01:52] so, how do you control what packages are considered manually installed for the purpose of apt-get autoremove [01:52] dpkg --{get,set}-selections doesn't seem to do it [01:52] hi, can I do sudo apt-get install exim4 , or do i need a ppa? ubuntu 10.04 [01:52] Jordan_U: the system it's self is installed and /target is filled it's just the bootloader [01:53] Vbitz: What options is the installer presenting you for where to install grub's boot sector? [01:53] dselect still available in the repos if you're interested in checking it out [01:53] cgtdk: it doesn't handle multiarch so well [01:53] !aptitude | cgtdk [01:53] 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. [01:54] yes, they just lack support of multiarch... [01:54] Jordan_U: It tried to install it automatically to /dev/cciss/c0d0 which is first entire disk [01:54] I use apt-fast it's badass [01:54] but, the others side, aptitude was great tools [01:54] Vbitz: Does it give you an option to chose anything else? If so, what are the other options? [01:54] :) [01:55] Jordan_U: If I select no to installing it to first drive then I can enter another point in /dev [01:55] What is the derictory apps are installed in? ect? [01:56] xmlnewbie, use dpkg -L to list of installed files [01:56] Vbitz: Does it give you a list of options or is it a text entry box where you have to type the path yourself? [01:57] Jordan_U: Text entry box which I'm on right now [01:57] XMLnewbi: they get installed all over, not just in one folder, only configs go in /etc [01:58] Vbitz: Wow, that's surprising. Can you get to a terminal? [01:58] user/share/armory im trying to add a pyton files to the "Copy both of those into the Armory execution directory" [01:58] Jordan_U Ctrl-Alt-F2 brings up busybox [01:58] Vbitz: use ctrl+alt+t [01:58] Vbitz: So you're using the Server install CD, correct? [01:58] Jordan_U: yeah [01:59] Vbitz: Unfortunately you're probably going to have to copy a very long device name... [01:59] XMLnewbi, execution dir has nothing todo with dinsall dir [01:59] XMLnewbi, *install dir [01:59] Jordan_U yeah there are about 12 items in /dev/cciss [02:00] Vbitz: None of which you want. You want one of the much longer names in /dev/mapper/ :) [02:00] goodmorning y'all [02:00] Jordan_U: /dev/mapper has 1 item control [02:01] Vbitz: Odd. I wasn't expecting that. What device does "mount" say is mounted to /target/? [02:02] 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] Jordan_U: /dev/cciss/c0d2p1 [02:02] 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] Vbitz: Then it sounds like your RAID isn't being used, Ubuntu simply installed to one of the drives (c0d2). [02:03] 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] 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? [02:04] Jordan_U: the raid looks to be in use, there are 3 "whole" drives where the server has 7 physical drives [02:04] the 8th failed a little earlier due to age [02:04] Vbitz: Ok, then it's true hardware RAID. [02:05] Vbitz: What happens if you enter /dev/cciss/c0d2 as the device for grub's boot sector to be installed to? [02:06] 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] Jordan_U: It worked [02:06] Vbitz: Great. It seems like that's probably where you wanted grub's boot sector anyway, correct? [02:07] Jordan_U: As I said before I'm rebuilding this server from esxi, esxi was installed on /dev/cciss/c0d0. [02:08] 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] Jordan_U: It's now trying to boot into esxi [02:11] I guess I'm better off installing ubuntu on the first drive [02:11] Vbitz: You can't configure the machine to boot off the second drive? [02:11] Yeah I'll go for that === qos|away is now known as qos [02:16] hello all, I have been searching the internet for hours and tried many things but have finally resorted to asking for some help [02:16] got a question. i just read i have to activate canonical partners for proprietary software like skype. but i installed skype without activating it i think. im using ubuntu 12.04. thanks.

[04:01] usb-modswitch [04:01] apoplectic: do you feel the learning curve in ubuntu is greater than other distributions? [04:01] 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] iFlip: installing Precise will give an OS supported til April 2017 [04:01] not sure ActionParsnip, never used it [04:01] ActionParsnip what extent of the support will be lost? [04:01] ActionParsnip all support as in never again? [04:01] or any linux distro for that matter. [04:02] Does precise have a quick LAMP installer built in? [04:02] iFlip: no support here or anywhere else and zero updates [04:02] apoplectic: then Ubuntu is a good start, it does a lot of hand holding [04:02] how about fedora? [04:03] apoplectic, what do you want ? [04:03] ActionParsnip does Precise have a LAMP installer? Or do I have to do it manually through ter [04:03] apoplectic: typically, if you dont understand the differences between distros of linux (pros cons) ubuntu is a really good choice [04:03] Hello everyone, I am having an annoying issue with adobe flash [04:03] anyone here familiar with distributed data services and openstack, hadoop, etc? [04:03] apoplectic: thats a good one too, as is suse. They all have strengths and weaknesses [04:03] ahmad, maybe someone.. [04:03] Valyrym: what is the issue [04:03] anyone have any experience getting the android emulater to work in ubuntu? [04:03] bodhi? ActionParsnip [04:03] !ask | ahmad [04:03] ahmad: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:03] is that built on ubuntu? [04:03] iFlip: there is an installer for Lamp, yes === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [04:04] apoplectic: yes, but its support is entirely separate to Ubuntu's [04:04] apoplectic: Bodhi has its own IRC channel and forums [04:04] ActionParsnip: oh hey, whats up parsnip, i came on here as Eyes Only a while ago, seems that flash player freezes my entire browser when i move my mouse or click inside the flash window [04:04] blackshirt, I am trying to learn about open stack and how hadoop works. I would like to start by installing OpenStack on a machine.. al though I need some guidance [04:05] Valyrym: can you run: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [04:05] i've heard bodhi is the best distro for speed ActionParsnip [04:05] that sound right? [04:05] is that plausible? [04:05] ActionParsnip that is very disappointing - I love Lucid! [04:05] apoplectic: for speed you can get a lot faster [04:05] ActionParsnip: one moment. would you like pastebin link? [04:05] like? [04:05] so far i have been reading a lot of tutorials but having someone helping me with the process will be greatly appreciated and welcomed [04:05] any suggestions, for speed, ActionParsnip [04:05] apoplectic: installing Ubuntu minimal then installing openbox will give a much faster OS [04:05] Valyrym: please [04:05] thanks ActionParsnip [04:06] apoplectic: the less stuff you run, the faster it will run [04:06] nicekiwi, maybe this answer is any help >>> http://askubuntu.com/questions/118903/what-android-emulators-are-available [04:06] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/vKFyrU69 [04:06] ahmad: I dont know anything about those programs, but given the fact that what they do is not trivially explained in their wikipedia page, I suspect they are quite complex. I would look for a good tutorial and introductory resources via google [04:07] or a good book [04:07] !openstack [04:07] Valyrym: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin [04:07] ActionParsnip How do I install a SofRaid on 12.04 [04:08] for example wtf is a "cloud computing fabric controller"? [04:08] I've been looking and can't find anything on it [04:08] apoplectic: Ubuntu+Bootloader+Xorg+OpenBox is about 1.2Gb installed as far as I remember [04:08] ActionParsnip Does it support SofRaid [04:08] ActionParsnip: affirmative [04:08] iFlip: I've not used it but I know it's around [04:08] why do you suggest opnebox as well? [04:08] apoplectic: its a nice light window manager which doesn't need a desktop to run :) [04:09] ActionParsnip: ubuntu+lightdm+xorg+openbox? [04:09] apoplectic: fluxbox can do similar too :) [04:09] bretolius, thnx.. i have been doing that and gotten very good at it so far just wish i had someone to help me with my deployment.. np though google and i are lovers :P lol [04:09] bretolius: what's the name of this cloud computing fabric controller [04:09] zykotick9: lightdm is a nice to have, I'd go for slim for lightness :) [04:09] oic openstack and hadoop [04:09] ActionParsnip: lol, as would i. but i wouldn't recommend slim to anyone in #ubuntu [04:10] Openstack Nova, wastrel. Im just referencing how little this description actually says about what this peice of software does [04:10] ActionParsnip: already had partner repos enabled, reinstall flashplugin [04:10] ActionParsnip: ? === scouts is now known as meep [04:10] openstack is the cloud deployment, fault tolerance, rapid scalability and block level io solution === meep is now known as sheep === Sachiru|AFK is now known as Sachiru [04:11] Valyrym: install the adobe-flashplugin package [04:11] bretolius: i always like to google a technology and find the shiny webpage for the technology and read about the technology and learn that it's a "framework" [04:11] why do you guys change nicks every time the wind blows === sheep is now known as Guest95677 [04:11] apoplectic: as a new user, I'd install the full whack til you get used to the OS [04:11] ActionParsnip Where can I find documents on the termination of support for 10.04 [04:11] hadoop is more big data analysis and hdfs clustering system based on mapreduce [04:12] HackerII: i don't see nick changes - so if that happens, i'm unaware [04:12] usually cloud is just a euphemism for "Pay us to use our server behind some non-standard software layer :v v: " [04:12] ActionParsnip: right, flashplugin-installer is NOT adobe-flashplugin, derp. [04:12] !lucid [04:12] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [04:12] iFlip: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [04:13] ActionParsnip: restarting firefox, brb [04:13] zykotick9- they do it about 3-4 times when they enter [04:13] HackerII: s/if/when/ [04:13] 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). [04:14] iFlip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:14] 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? [04:15] 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] ActionParsnip: restarted firefox, same issue. video proceeds to freeze with mouse input [04:16] bretolius, yes thats why this research is hard.. the release of the openstack folsom confuses me even more :s [04:16] ActionParsnip: i can pause anything by moving the mouse in a circle anywhere in most applets [04:17] ActionParsnip Ahhh, ok - do you know if they are planning on releasing a newer version of a server release for Ubuntu? [04:17] Valyrym: you could remove the package and install it manually by putting the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [04:17] Valyrym: i dont use firefox so am not too sure [04:17] iFlip: sure, Quantal was released a few days ago (not LTS) [04:18] ActionParsnip: so extract the shared object to firefox's plugin dir [04:18] ActionParsnip: ill give that a shot [04:18] 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] ActionParsnip Thank you [04:19] ActionParsnip: did yo see Eben Moglen's interviews on /. the last two days? he calls chrome by a different name ;) [04:19] i have already included compiz config, vimrc, and other locations [04:19] does anybody know how to change the default colors for files in terminal? [04:19] hi people [04:19] cowsquad, ~/.bashrc [04:20] how is ubuntu 12.10 is it worth a upgrade r stay with 12.04?? [04:20] zykotick9: who is "Eben Moglen"? [04:20] I found a few show stopping bugs I didnt care to work out and rolled back myself [04:20] Arivazhagan: depends if you like LTS-ness [04:20] there are examples of some custom ones on the web plus you can easily configure these things yourself using the PS1 variable [04:20] I would test out a live CD first Arivazhagan [04:21] bretolius: what bugs [04:21] ActionParsnip: doesn't matter. (actually he's a better representative of the "free" software movement then RMS) [04:21] 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] oic [04:21] ActionParsnip, i am not a big fan of LTS [04:21] zykotick9: i don't listen toall the politics stuff that goes into linux. I just get on with using it [04:21] 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 [04:22] wastrel: where 12.04 was basically smooth sailing [04:22] 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] ActionParsnip: i know. that i can see repect you in the morning ;) [04:22] zykotick9: hehe [04:22] ActionParsnip, i am using Unity how is the performance some people saying it's slow [04:23] ActionParsnip: s/that/and/ ;) [04:23] wastrel: also Unity seemed really sluggish on a fairly decent machine that runs perfectly under 12.04 [04:23] Arivazhagan: all I can say is try it. It's ok here but I clean install each new release [04:23] 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] strange i haven't noticed any performance issues with unity, although i do have a good ultrabook [04:23] Arivazhagan: it seems to be pretty individual [04:24] ActionParsnip, ya me too always do clean install [04:24] Arivazhagan, bretolius get a SSD, that boost up performance [04:24] OerHeks: I have an SSD, boot times are great [04:24] OerHeks, ya SSD always super fast [04:24] anybody knows how to change the terminal colors for files? [04:25] buhhh [04:25] cowsquad_, please refer to i said a while back regarding ~/.bashrc and PS1 variable [04:25] bretolius: try xpud, boots in 3 seconds on PATA HDD with single core CPU and 2Gb DDR2 RAM [04:25] Is it ture that ubuntu has poor AHCI support? [04:26] pclov3r, no. [04:26] 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] ActionParsnip: my startup times are fine! :v [04:26] pclov3r: never had an issue [04:26] OerHeks: does 12.10 still have hibernate diabled by default? [04:26] I know what it is [04:26] cowsquad, Edit->ProfilePreference->Color [04:26] pclov3r: never said you didn't [04:26] 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 [04:27] zykotick9, yes, i thought so, cannot check it here, i am on Kubuntu. [04:27] pclov3r: best to try a live CD or USB to see if your device is supported or has trouble [04:27] 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] tired to install but had major issues [04:28] 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] pclov3r: can you tell from what? [04:28] Valyrym: have you tried chrome? [04:28] my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? [04:28] i believe AHCI [04:28] ActionParsnip: firefox jumps to 60% cpu and X jumps to 40% cpu [04:29] ActionParsnip: when i move my mouse in a flash window [04:29] 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] not booting corretly to the cd drive umonuting itself [04:29] pclov3r: can you try your controller in SATA Mode? [04:29] OerHeks: thanks! but i don't use ubuntu. [04:29] pclov3r: also, did you do a consistancy check on the CD you were using? [04:29] cd was fine [04:29] ActionParsnip: its a little less so outside of a flash window [04:29] i use UEFI tho [04:29] cowsquad: seems to be related to dircolors, try man dir_colors [04:30] pclov3r: you did a consistancy check on the contents of the disk? the download can get messed up too [04:30] zykotick9, it is disabled by default, too many machines doesn't support it properly [04:30] the disk was fiine [04:30] oops [04:30] matched hashes [04:30] it was fine [04:30] but i installed debain without any problems [04:30] sorry was unclear, because simply verifying a disk after burn tells you little about the cotents, had to check :) [04:30] Valyrym: thats all I can recommend, maybe others can help [04:30] which uses much older packages [04:31] OerHeks: thanks! sorry i didn't really mean to signal you out on that question! MY bad! sorry! [04:31] np [04:31] s/signal/single/ [04:31] pclov3r: did the live CD enviroment work right? [04:31] see all your drives etc? [04:32] ActionParsnip: doing more research into this seems to be a kernel issue [04:32] it did yes [04:32] it seems odd that it would not install then [04:32] i have to use AHCI [04:32] i refuse to use IDE or lagency mode [04:33] i understand, but as a way to troubleshoot [04:33] it can be a way to help isolate and issue [04:33] just was curious but it's ok as i'm on debian [04:33] my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? [04:35] how can I find out what OS my server is running? [04:35] uname -o just says GNU/Linux [04:36] pclov3r: "lsb_release -a" might give you more detail [04:36] 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? [04:37] anyone has any good resources for cloud computing and in particular openstack, hadoop? any book suggestions would also be very appreciated :) [04:37] pclov3r: fyi debian is supported in #debian or freenode or OFTC #debian officially [04:38] Good evening [04:38] ahmad: have you tried over at the #openstack channel? [04:38] ahmad, open stack > http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/ch_getting-started-with-openstack.html [04:38] or #hadoop for that matter? [04:38] hello [04:38] Does anyone have any recommendations on a tile based WM I can setup easily on Ubuntu 12.04? [04:38] bretolius, no :D ty i will do that right now! [04:38] WM? [04:38] Window Manager [04:38] What? [04:39] F^3: like xmonad? [04:39] 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] oh [04:39] no [04:39] there seems not to be 1920x1072 [04:39] F^3: awesome is a tiling WM - but i wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy ;) it's what i use BTW. [04:40] 1920x1080 is best [04:40] bretolius, lol it honestly did not occur to me.. ty (its a bit late here i have been up for a while) [04:40] zykotick9, Why not recommend it to anyone? [04:40] ty so much [04:40] ahmad: yeah, np I understand [04:40] ahmad: glhf :) [04:40] smoke break, afk [04:40] 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... [04:41] F^3: would you count xmonad a windowing WM? [04:41] err you know what I mean [04:41] bretolius, Yes. [04:41] dengpan_, I know, my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop outputs video 1920x1072, making it impossible to edit [04:42] F^3: people seem to really like that one, I for one, cant remember all the keyboard shortcuts [04:42] plus those people run arch, at least the ones I know [04:43] 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] How is it failing? [04:44] Hilikus: i'd try using "foo" or 'foo' and see if it makes a difference... good luck. [04:44] what do yo mean zykotick9 ? [04:45] failed: Invalid argument (22) === captiankirk is now known as orionsbelt [04:48] my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? [04:49] anyone knows how to configure checkpoint vpn client with RSA securid? [04:49] SultansElephant: [04:50] SultansElephant> [04:52] I'm interested to know if I can turn a desktop edition into server edition without too much hassle? [04:52] is it a simple case of selecting the server kernel in synaptic? [04:53] bindi: Can you pastebin the output of "mplayer /path/to/file"? [04:54] bindi: Also, out of curiosity, why zfs rather than btrfs? [04:54] lasher: you mean running a GUI on a server? === cbeust is now known as zedshaw [04:55] SultansElephant: what I mean is: Holding on to 10.04 for as long as possible, and yes [04:55] 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? [04:56] lasher: you can dual boot i guess but for what purpose do you need the server [04:56] lasher: It's the GUI packages which aren't supported for as long, not the kernel. [04:57] I thought my main concern were security patches which would be included in the server edition [04:57] Should i stick to 12.04 or just go for 12.10? [04:57] pgdac: stick to 12.04 if youre not willing to do a fresh install imo [04:58] 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] lasher: And there won't be security patches to GNOME, Firefox, X, etc. [04:58] SultansElephant: I have no problem installing fresh os, but the thing is that is it stable or giving problem ? [04:58] !virus | Space-Duck [04:58] 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] pgdac: its fine, ya [04:58] its stable [04:58] lasher: Why not upgrade to 12.04? [04:59] SultansElephant: Thanks! One more question. Is there any super OS available for 12.10, i have no net connection always ? [04:59] pgdac: i do not understand "super OS" [04:59] hi, i want to learn php, is there good suggestions [04:59] chroot #php [04:59] 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 [05:00] ok, thanks Flynsarmy [05:00] SultansElephant: I mean to say that is there any ubuntu 12.10 OS that has packages already installed in it [05:00] I want to stick with it as long as possible [05:00] pgdac: If you download the DVD image you can use it as a repository (all of main IIRC). [05:00] hi [05:00] Jordan_U: Please share the dvd image link [05:01] lasher: Have you tried Xubuntu or Lubuntu? Barring hardware issues Lubuntu 12.04 should be considerably more "snappy" than Ubuntu 10.04. [05:02] pgdac: I'm on my phone at the moment, otherwise I would. [05:02] pgdac: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [05:02] SultansElephant: Thanks [05:02] Jordan_U: Thanks!

Anyone know how to fix this? [05:05] pgdac: how dont you have internet btw, youre here now [05:05] Just installed 12.10 and gnome-shell. When I go to the gnome extension site is says I am not running the latest and I can't install extension. [05:05] SultansElephant: Oh man ! I am in lab [05:06] s [05:06] SultansElephant: And to use ubuntu propeerly after installation i need internet connection to update it several packages [05:06] anyone have insights on how to configure checkpoint vpn with rsa securid ?

[05:11] The issues I have with 12.04 and 12.10 (which I have tried also) are beyond the DE [05:11] what determines whether "copy" is ctrl-c or ctrl-shift c? [05:11] 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] how did you bg the process? [05:11] & at the ends [05:11] *end [05:11] it probably finished or crashed [05:12] fg is for jobs though: ctrl-z [05:12] its still running, the process shows usage from the process and the ps -e shows it is still running too [05:12] PhilD41: I'd look into the Ubuntu Gnome Remix [05:12] hello [05:12] ohhhh [05:12] huh [05:12] my monitor is 1920x1080, but recordmydesktop records in 1920x1072. Anyone know how to fix this? [05:12] lobhater: & takes the tty away [05:12] is there a better way for me to do it?

I had come across screen while searching for a solution but it didnt seem to fit me needs [05:17] thanks rhizmoe [05:17] lasher, I saw that after I had already installed and had issues.

[05:19] PhilD41: I'm pretty sure there's a spin of 12.10 Gnome out now, I saw it posted on WebUpD8 but I haven't tried it personally [05:19] lobhater: Not after the fact, no [05:19] I am using Gnome12.04 now [05:19] where is the equiv of /etc/sysconfig/iptables for ubuntu [05:19] but the standard, not latest [05:19] is there anyway when i start the process that i can set it up so i can close the shell and later come back and "fg" it. I know fg wont work but something similar? [05:20] lobhater: screen or tmux [05:20] Jordan_U: so that process is lost and I have no way of ever viewing its output again?

[05:30] ActionParsnip, gonna try istanbul. kazam and recorditnow don't work well on my end [05:30] I mean the latest LTS version [05:30] robertzaccour: could try ffmpeg in CLI [05:30] Linux nagato-yuki 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:04:05 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [05:30] ch405: Precise doesn't use the 3.6 kernel [05:31] I haven't upgraded in a while, but I don't think they'd make a major change like that [05:31] 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] ActionParsnip: is it possible to upgrade to 3.6?

For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [06:14] Jordan_U, very much work [06:14] :) [06:14] ix_: Great. Will you be able to access a mac to test things? === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke [06:15] Jordan_U, yes [06:15] ix_: Are you working from Ubuntu 12.10? [06:15] Jordan_U, I have a macbook pro here, but I erased everything on the HDD [06:15] Jordan_U, I have Lubuntu 12.10 installed here [06:16] 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. [06:17] Jordan_U, so, basically, I have my laptop with Debian and Lubuntu and I have a Macbook pro which does not boot [06:17] insomniac_lemon: Virtualbox [06:17] Nononono [06:17] insomniac_lemon: you can use vmware based tools to make a virtual system out of a physical system. Its called a P2V [06:17] Jordan_U: That trick did not work [06:18] trying to boot 12.10 with acpi=noirq (which works fine occasionally but often doesnt). this particular boot stopped here: http://www.imgur.com/pPxUB.jpeg any ideas why? [06:18] how to change my login maneger to light dm from lxdm? [06:18] I don't want to have to sign up to get VMware's software [06:19] 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] 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] 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? [06:20] saotome, maybe try actual Chrome? You can install it on Linux. [06:20] https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ [06:20] sigh. can't even boot anymore [06:20] insomniac_lemon, would love to use chrome. however, as I have read, only chromium and firefox support the webapp integration feature. [06:21] Jordan_U, I've formatted it with gpt partition table, but what is that about efi? [06:21] Oh, I see [06:22] 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] So, maybe just not yet? [06:23] 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] insomniac_lemon, hhmm... ok, I have read all over the place saying that chromium was supported. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the tip. [06:24] Jordan_U: The Magic SysRq Key trick did not work [06:25] http://www.imgur.com/pPxUB.jpeg anyone know why my boot would stop after reaching this point? [06:26] Jordan_U, I can't figure out how to make that efi system partition [06:26] Flynsarmy: because you touch yourself at night [06:26] 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 [06:27] Flynsarmy: in all seriousness, ata errors are related to your hard drive and should likely be of moderate->severe concern [06:27] 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] 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"). [06:28] Flynsarmy: I've had that, i replaced the HDD [06:28] Jordan_U, ok, fat32 partition created [06:28] 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] 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] s/wait/weight [06:29] Flynsarmy: :/ hm [06:29] 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] Jordan_U, I've installed gdisk [06:30] ix_: t [06:30] ix_: Sorry, "sudo gdisk /dev/sdX" then type 't' and hit enter. [06:31] Jordan_U, no t [06:32] Jordan_U, http://i.imgur.com/iNEVy.png [06:32] magn3ts got it working by removing quiet splash from teh grub options. no idea why that worked [06:33] Jordan_U: If the sysrq key combo does not work what's the next step [06:33] Flynsarmy: you using straight up ubuntu or any... major modifications? [06:33] ix_: You should have run "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" not /dev/sdb1. 'q' to quit. [06:33] 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] 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. [06:33] Vbitz: You'll probably need to pull the plug then unfortunately. [06:34] Can I just hold in the power button [06:34] 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] Jordan_U, [06:34] Vbitz: It depends on your hardware. It's certainly worth trying. [06:34] Jordan_U, ok, I did that [06:35] Flynsarmy: o_0 weird. good luck with that [06:35] ix_: Good, is it asking for a "hex code or UID"? [06:35] Jordan_U, oops, yes it did [06:35] ix_: 'ef00' then enter. [06:36] Jordan_U, ok, I did that, it still asks for a command [06:36] 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). [06:37] Jordan_U, yes, it did that [06:37] ix_: Ok, gdkisk should have quit and you should now have an EFI System Partition. [06:37] Jordan_U, I typed q [06:37] Jordan_U: Systems fine after rebooting [06:38] Jordan_U, now what? [06:38] Morning. I got a problem: I got a partition with ntfs and fdisk says the total allocated sectors are greater than the maximum === richard is now known as Guest50222 [06:38] ix_: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-bin [06:39] Jordan_U, I'm on a 32 bit laptop, does it matter? [06:39] it doesnt show me a proper partition table (verify in fdisk says invalid) and gparted wont show the partitions...and the live usb stick wont install because of that [06:39] Hi all. How can I add a created link to executable to left side panel in Ubuntu 12.04? [06:39] ix_: The mac is 32 bit? [06:39] drag and drop doesn't work [06:39] Jordan_U, the macbook pro has a core 2 duo cpu [06:40] Jordan_U, it's 64 bit [06:41] Jordan_U, ok, I've installed grub-efi-amd64-bin [06:41] ix_: Try "sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-bin", the package should be available even for 32 bit systems (for situations exactly like this). If it's not available then I'm a little dissapointed in the Ubuntu/Debian packagers :) [06:42] Jordan_U, it installed fine [06:42] ix_: Just as a check, what is the output of "grub-install --version"? [06:43] Jordan_U, 1.99-23, should I go to Lubuntu? it has grub 2 [06:43] ix_: Yes, you should go to Lubuntu (12.10), grub 2.00 has better EFI support. [06:44] Jordan_U, ok, wait until I reboot [06:45] Is there something like clonezilla that works better/is more efficient? [06:47] ok, I'm on lubuntu 12.10, I've installed grub-efi-amd64-bin [06:47] ix_: Mount the EFI System Partition to /mnt/. === sfan5|OFF is now known as sfan5 [06:48] Jordan_U, sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt ??? [06:48] ix_: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ [06:49] Jordan_U, ok [06:49] done [06:49] I keep getting http://pastie.org/5092183 on all of my machines on weekly basis. Rebooting system and re-running xapian works. I have also added the output of running it manually to paste. [06:49] ix_: A device like "sdb" is the entire drive, a device like "sdb1" is a partition. 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] Jordan_U, darn it, it was already mounted on media [06:50] lubuntu mounts automatically [06:51] ok, I've unmounted them and remounted on /mnt [06:51] ix_: Great. Now run "sudo grub-install --removable --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ --efi-directory=/mnt/" [06:52] k [06:52] Jordan_U, installation finished, ni error reported [06:52] no [06:52] :) [06:53] Could someone help me figure out how to record from my speakers?

I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, and I previously had the webapps preview installed (which I removed and believe to have purged some time before installing 12.10) [07:03] ix_: The problem there is that we didn't actually successfully change the UID of the partition to make it a System Partition. [07:03] anyone ? [07:03] Jordan_U, and why is that? [07:04] ix_: Run "sudo gdisk /dev/sdb" and pastebin the output (I'd prefer http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to an image screenshot if it's not too difficult for you).

[07:15] 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/ [07:16] unmounted /mnt, tried the usb stick in the macbook, but it did not take it === scouts is now known as liam === liam is now known as seascoutliam [07:17] 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] Jordan_U, it's from 2006 [07:17] hi [07:17] the ubuntu dash doesn't show when i move the mouse to the left edge of the screen [07:20] 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. [07:21] ix_: Then you might have a machine with that odd combination. [07:22] Jordan_U, so what should I do? [07:23] Jordan_U, I see there is a grub-efi-ia32 [07:23] 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/" [07:24] 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. [07:25] Could someone help me figure out how to record from my speakers?

[07:29] Jordan_U, you were right about the efi32, the model of this macbook pro is a1212 [07:29] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/02KMAddV [07:30] ix_: That all looks right :( [07:30] Jordan_U, I thought so [07:31] 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] Jordan_U, thank you for your effort, if you have any more ideas, I'm all ears :) [07:31] Anyone, help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 please? [07:32] effigy, the new interface is called Unity http://unity.ubuntu.com/ [07:32] 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] hi body :) [07:32] can anybody explain me why my ubuntu ignoring module blacklist setting? [07:32] I had got some trouble [07:33] 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] ix_: And if you don't get an answer today try again tomorrow. [07:33] Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a TV tuner card install?? [07:33] When I installed the Ubuntu I move the part of windows's C: [07:34] 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] and now I can't enter my windows [07:35] does anyone can help me ? [07:35] ;( [07:35] 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] 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] bird_, Try moving that part back, or I'm afraid to say, nothing much can be done [07:37] GBRV,thank you ,but I had installed ubuntu after the windows' loader partion [07:37] effigy, doing a search for 'music' worked pretty well for me, gave me rhythmbox, and a couple others [07:37] 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. [07:38] is there any tool or method to update the windows bootmbr now ? [07:38] effigy, some people like it, some don't, but it looks like it is going to stay the default for a while [07:38] Jordan_U, my internet died and I'm back in Debian, it seems to work here for some odd reason [07:39] effigy, gnome-shell serves a similar purpose, which I hear is now the default in Gnome 3 and up [07:39] gabkdlly: is there any sort of shortcut i can make to launch programs? this is kinda annoying. [07:39] 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. [07:40] Jordan_U, ok, thank you [07:40] ix_: One last test. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [07:40] Jordan_U, /dev/sdb1: UUID="FF09-D509" TYPE="vfat" [07:41] Jordan_U is a trooper, he really wants to help, god speed Jordan_U [07:41] 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] 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] ix_: That precludes the theory that it was the wrong filesystem then :( [07:42] 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] 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. [07:43] Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a TV tuner card install?? [07:44] anyone here familiar with ffmpeg commands? [07:44] robertzaccour: Yes? What do you want to do? [07:45] how do i check to see if ubuntu can see my hardware [07:45] 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] 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 [07:46] effigy, I gotta split, best of luck to you, bye [07:46] gabkdlly: yeah i'm probably going to switch distros, but thanks... before you go recommend a new distro! [07:47] robertzaccour: Then, what's your question? [07:47] worm, What do I need to do with that in order to get my analog speakers recorded directly? [07:48] is there a device manager in ububtu [07:48] nath system monitor [07:48] Nath: ubuntu doesn't have any eyes, although you can use system monitor [07:48] nm not what you were asking for [07:48] no operating system can see... [07:49] 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 [07:50] i'm unable to mark this package for installation in ubuntu 12.10: nvidia-173 [07:50] so how do i install drivers [07:50] 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] Hey [07:51] i need please help about install php in ubuntu 8.04 [07:51] 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] i think i'm missing something, or i hope i am. [07:51] i try install something in ubuntu but i have error someone can please help me [07:51] 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] this my error [07:51] PHP version [07:51] version 5.2.8 is required and you are running 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.26 [07:52] 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] gabkdlly: it doesnt have unity [07:52] they use a desktop called cinamon i believe [07:52] ? [07:52] idk i have several friends that use it without a issue crizis [07:53] so? [07:53] i mean if you take a look at the 12.10 release and the current issues... [07:53] no distro is perfect. [07:53] 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 [07:54] effigy, over and out [07:54] robertzaccour: Do you have oss or alsa-oss? [07:55] never upgrade - always do clean install - save yourself from problems [07:55] 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] robertzaccour: Or have you tried just to record the voice by ffmpeg? [07:55] and better yet, stick to the LTS releases [07:55] ? [07:55] 12.10 is buggy and slow [07:55] what did you expect from non-lts release? :) [07:55] every non-lts has been a disaster [07:56] At first, anyway. [07:56] arunkumar413, maybe it's just Unity that makes it seem like it? [07:56] nunne: i have an nvidia card also and had the same probs with a clean install [07:56] this is how i fixed it [07:56] someone tell me please how i install PHP version [07:56] version 5.2.8 is required and you are running 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.26 [07:56] 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 [07:57] worm, what do you mean? [07:57] insomniac_lemon, yes, its the unity [07:57] ASHER1: what version of Ubuntu do you have? [07:57] sup ppl [07:57] FlyingElvis, I'm coming from 12.04 actually. and had working nvidia-drivers (nvidia-current) :( [07:57] 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] and you did the upgrade? [07:57] insomniac_lemon, i system has 4gb ram and a dedicated nvidia geforce graphic card, dual core processor, still the unity is slow [07:57] arunkumar413, maybe try cinnamon? http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?page_id=61 [07:58] bretolius, yes, you can dump out installed package lists with dpkg [07:58] Cinnamon is Gnome 3 adapted to be more like Gnome 2 [07:58] FlyingElvis, yeah. I upgrade through Update Manager [07:58] insomniac_lemon, previously i had 12.04 which was good [07:58] nunne: i am running kubuntu tho....i frickin hate unity [07:58] bretolius, just a minute [07:58] crizis: ill check it out [07:58] crizis: ok [07:58] Clean install really sucks crizis. Who the hell wants to repeatedly install their OS? Thats worse than Windows XP LOL [07:58] I even had the buggy wrong colors in youtube, so i know the nvidia drivers where "working" hahaha [07:58] unity is an abortion of a desktop UI IMO [07:58] 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. [07:59] bretolius, "dpkg --get-selections > mypackages.log" and to restore again, "dpkg --set-selections < mypackages.log" [07:59] nunne: I upgraded to quantal about a month ago, no nvidia problems, I used aptitude and have no gnome or kde though [07:59] 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] crizis: awsome advice! Ill take note [07:59] FlyingElvis: youare completely correct when you say that. [08:00] 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] kde is just so much more complete and you have total control over the computer, with unity, i cant say that [08:00] FlyingElvis: yeah, coming to 12.04 after windows 7 and os x for a long long time, Unity Is quite swell [08:00] i type this "apt-get install get patchutils lsdiff libproc-processtable-perl build-essential" [08:00] hello [08:00] 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 [08:01] then : [08:01] FlyingElvis: I dont want total control so it works well for me. total controll sounds like a lot of busy work [08:01] Reading package lists... Done [08:01] Building dependency tree [08:01] Reading state information... Done [08:01] crizis: I guess. But i mean if you look at 10.04 that was a broken LTS release. [08:01] Nath: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] E: Unable to locate package get [08:01] E: Unable to locate package lsdiff [08:01] bretolius: i am a recent win7 to buntu convert, and i tried ubuntu12.04 and now 12.10...and kde rules it [08:01] Jimster480-Lapto, bull, it's a fantastic release and still running it at ton of servers [08:01] sdollins you can please tell me how i install php version 5.2.8? [08:01] 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. [08:02] ASHER1: My suggestion would be to upgrade your OS. [08:02] I'm sure a lot of the software you have is outdated. [08:02] crizis: who uses Ubuntu servers? [08:02] 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] can anyone explain why i get that? [08:02] idiotic question tbh [08:02] crizis: Also it had seriuos issues with Sleep and hibernate. [08:02] FlyingElvis: i should give it a shot [08:02] quite a many and ubuntu server is nowadays more deployed than RHEL [08:02] Hardy is still supported but it was released in 2008. [08:02] Can anyone tell me why I'd be getting dependency errors like http://dpaste.com/816191/ using apt ? [08:02] bretolius: it is a lot of work if you need every feature provided by desktop suites [08:02] crizis: idk why you would ever pick a bloated release like ubuntu for a server lol [08:02] Jimster480-Lapto: My work has hundreds of Ubuntu servers in production. === arashOio is now known as arashO|o [08:02] crizis: its just fail all around [08:03] bretolius: go look up vids of kde and kubuntu on yotube, compare them to unity, and come back and tell me that [08:03] you're really clueless it seems [08:03] crizis: you can simply run CentOS or a Fedora server. [08:03] minimalistic server install is something around 100mbit [08:03] FlyingElvis, will try to purge the nvidia packages and see if it makes any difference installing them again after that :P [08:03] ok nunne [08:03] *mb [08:03] We use CentOS and Ubuntu. Mostly Ubuntu these days. [08:03] crizis: Ive been running linux servers since FC 3.1.2 [08:03] and ubuntu is just way better. rhel-variants are nightmare to maintain [08:03] robertzaccour: Which kind of sound card driver are you using? ALSA/OSS/PULSE [08:03] Some software we use requires RHEL-variant which is why we still use it. [08:03] 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 [08:04] crizis: RHEL is a nightmare to maintain? Why? Because you dont know how to use Yum? [08:04] worm, I think alsa. got the ffmpeg command from a youtuber [08:04] bretolius: use what works for you [08:04] I know another company in the same industry who runs Ubuntu on all of their production servers. [08:04] 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] robertzaccour: then you need to install alsa-oss [08:04] 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] 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] worm, ok just did [08:05] now please stop trolling [08:05] 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] crizis: Its not trolling I really don't understand your fanboyism with this distro for servers. [08:05] crizis: please explain to me what makes you such a fan of their servers? [08:05] !ot Jimster480-Lapto [08:05] Use what works best for you Jimster480-Lapto [08:05] insomniac_lemon: yea i dont like Unity at all so I never upgraded [08:05] worm, ok now what? it didn't run using with 'alsa-oss' [08:06] ASHER1: Did you see my messages? [08:06] advice we can all take easily [08:06] Jimster480-Lapto, so try 11.04, it uses Gnome 2, not Unity [08:06] insomniac_lemon: I just patch things that I need to. And build myself new kernels as time goes on. [08:06] bretolius, you can try to enable them one by one, but generally it's just safer to disable them [08:06] 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] insomniac_lemon: I'll think about it. I was pretty sure it was on Unity though. [08:06] crizis: if the ppa eventually brings support to the new OS, will the entries already be configured for that? [08:06] worm, ok brb [08:07] crizis: or will I need to re-add them [08:07] robertzaccour: /dev/dsp is your microphone. You'll then be able to use it as input [08:07] you'll need to re-add them [08:07] bleh that sucks [08:07] I guess I should just accept out of date software or keep better traack of which ppa does what [08:08] how much software you possibly can need from ppa's, anyway [08:08] Jimster480-Lapto, actually, it has both Unity and Gnome 2 [08:08] crizis: depends on what you are doing [08:08] So you just change what you log into [08:08] insomniac_lemon: So its not Unity with the session fallback crap? [08:08] no need to install anything [08:08] I don't know [08:09] robertzaccour: /dev/dsp is your microphone. You'll then be able to use it as input [08:09] worm, I'm back [08:09] It's not like Gnome Fallback on the never versions [08:09] robertzaccour: wish it works [08:09] insomniac_lemon: oh ok [08:09] I'm just afraid of breaking my version that I have now [08:09] Jimster480-Lapto, try it on a VM or something [08:09] worm, my mic works just fine, I need to know how to record from my speakers [08:09] robertzaccour: -f oss -i /dev/dsp [08:10] worm, where do I put that in the command at? [08:10] 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] 11.04 is supported until when? [08:10] Is it still supported? [08:11] 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] with that? [08:11] robertzaccour: A moment please. I am checking it. [08:11] worm, I want to record with my mic and analog speakers directly at the same time [08:11] worm, ok thanks [08:12] insomniac_lemon: yea its LTS so it should be supported still [08:13] 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] MESA 7.10.1 [08:14] someone can help me? [08:14] hmm maybe I will try it out because that would let me get my hardware accel back. Because MESA is one of the things that i havent upgraded. [08:14] facu: what is the issue? [08:14] I have just already installed Java but the other softs doesn't found it [08:15] for example [08:15] 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] how did you install it? [08:15] facu did you install actual java or icedtea [08:15] with the packages that I found in the web of microsystems [08:15] the official page of Java [08:15] I learn all the wiki [08:15] r u using ubuntu? [08:16] robertzaccour: If that can record your speaker's sound, you may be able to add that as an input of your ffmpeg. [08:16] Yea [08:16] 10.04 [08:16] go to the ubuntu software app and download icedtea 7 [08:16] facu: so did you patch the files into your folder? [08:16] seascoutcam [08:16] https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java [08:16] yes I did but nothing happen [08:16] hello there === scouts is now known as seascoutcam [08:17] facu: follow the link i just pasted, it will explain everything to you. Your java should work fine after. [08:17] hi crosswyb [08:17] ive never had luck with java on linux...but icedtead, which is a java replacement/clone works fine [08:17] ok [08:17] if I cant [08:17] can you help me via team viwer? [08:17] worm, very scratchy [08:17] FlyingElvis: well the link i pasted has a full tut that shows how to do it. [08:17] facu: idk [08:17] Ok bro [08:18] facu: i do have TV but idk i mean its not that difficult to do to follow those instructions [08:18] worm, its just a high pitch scratchy sound [08:18] facu: pm me if u really get stuck [08:18] Okay bro === scouts is now known as gbf [08:18] ty [08:18] hi [08:19] Wait, was there even an LTS version of 11.04? [08:19] insomniac_lemon: all .04 's are LTS [08:19] atleast as far as i know [08:19] oh wait nvm actually its only every 2 years. [08:19] Are they? Then why does support end this month? [08:19] insomniac_lemon: yea i forgot lol. [08:20] insomniac_lemon: in that case ill just stick to my 10.10 [08:20] insomniac_lemon: not a issue really === gvim is now known as Guest41662 [08:20] LTS versions are supposed to be 5 years, aren't they? But Natty ends (or has ended) this month. [08:20] insomniac_lemon: RIP natty, yes [08:21] 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] 2 years = non-lts now [08:21] 5 years = lts now [08:21] Calinou: oh they changed it? [08:21] kubuntu has 5 years lts, xubuntu 3 years, lubuntu no lts [08:22] 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] But I don't think there was a Natty LTS version [08:22] insomniac_lemon: ah I see. Man being stuck on 12.04 for 5 years LOL [08:22] insomniac_lemon: 5 years of unity would mean that person would be dead xD [08:23] How Can I check if it's installed? [08:24] Jimster480-Lapto: Having 12.04 doesn't necessitate Unity. [08:24] natty wasn't a lts [08:24] 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] DaemonicApathy: yea Cinnamon is interesting. It kind of reminds me of KDE [08:24] 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] DaemonicApathy: its really like Gnome meets KDE [08:25] DaemonicApathy: I've used it quite a few times on my LUG's machines [08:25] Hi, I tried to use the new Lubuntu and Ubuntu 12.10 . with http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ md5 is ok of AMD64 and i386 Ubuntu, (and Lubuntus isos) but it will not find the isos when it is time to make the live /installer USB. any ideas what i Do wrong? [08:25] I was the one who mentioned cinnamon [08:25] Jimster480-Lapto: I just use Cairo-Dock when I want menus or indicators. My system is built mostly around kb shortcuts, though. === SeoZ is now known as SeoZ-work[AWAY] [08:26] Detecting sound devices, as shown in the Sound Settings window, broke for me with the update from 12.04 to 12.10: Said devices are rapidly changing/updating: the Speakers (analogue stereo) alternates with Headphones and LineIn does with Microphone.

As faar as I can see. Am I in the wrong place? Very new to Linux.. [08:51] mind you, this is with ubuntu 12.10 64bit live disk [08:52] WalterN: Perhaps you should install first and then see what happens then [08:52] 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. [08:53] islandmonkey: I kinda dont want to if video is going to be this issue-y.. heh [08:53] hi [08:53] Jordan_U, I assume unity 3d. I can move the icons around on the panel [08:53] WalterN: Well, there is only one way to find out, because you can't really do much while on the live disk [08:54] that's the problem [08:54] 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: is it a commonish issue though in general with 12.10?

[08:56] but at the login screen it says 12.04 [08:57] aeon-ltd: i rebooted and since then i can login but not use my acc [08:57] islandmonkey: thats something I really would rather not do (use the AMD drivers...) [08:57] if you try to update what happens? i wouldn't try anything in case of corruption though [08:58] aeon-ltd: the updater crashed some times but installed some packages about 1000 i think [08:58] enh [08:58] screw it... install all the things, break all the things, fix all the things [08:59] he2: I would advise doing a clean install. My upgrade was fine (except for apt thinking that nvidia-settings was an un-used package).

It works when I use the 12.04 live CD. Macbook air 1.1. Does someone have an idea what could be wrong? [09:52] blackshirt: Since upstart, there is no single mode anymore.

You can read entire issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073770 [10:06] iceroot, but you're right, I did try to manually install libc6 [10:06] iceroot: iF flashplugin-in 11.2.202.233ub Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [10:06] 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] GVRV: installing libc6 by hand is always!! a bad idea and will break the system normally [10:07] gvrv, that was bad step [10:07] 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...

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] wols, the ubuntu package builds the kernel module for my kernel (default). this is the normal behaviour.

[10:12] GVRV: can you try "sudo apt-get install libc6" and paste the output [10:12] nunne: you wrote "doesn't work". that's no description [10:12] iceroot: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-in brings no installed package matching. [10:12] that is my actual problem [10:12] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294487/ [10:13] trap24: The package name is "flashplugin-installer".

[10:14] 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] GVRV: is it a fresh install? [10:14] iceroot, dunno what is erroring in the pre-installation scripts exactly, but I've been going in circles the whole day [10:14] ok, going to look other errors, thanks :) [10:14] xorg.0.log does not indicate any errors... [10:14] GVRV: where was the libc6 package coming from? [10:14] GVRV: apt-cache clean to remove the libc deb package from /var/cache [10:15] iceroot, nope, was working fine for months, ubuntu 12.04 [10:15] iceroot: the name was truncated in the list that dpkg -l flash* brought. Anyway thanks :) [10:15] hosts file dosent support wildcards enq [10:15] why? [10:15] wols, if you follow whats allready been written on the nvidia driver problems i think it was a good description.. [10:15] trap24, what do you need flash for? (what browser) [10:15] GVRV: where was the libc6 package coming from? [10:15] GVRV: the one you downloaded [10:15] insomniac_lemon: google chrome has preinstalled. i was using problem with other apt-get commands. [10:16] well then what should i use, or is it good if i write ServerName something.dev to apache server? [10:16] iceroot, packages.ubuntu.com [10:16] Can i use the truecrypt bootloader with ubuntu? [10:16] now, where are the panels in 12.04 when i boot using gnome selection ? [10:16] GVRV: and the package was designed for 12.04? [10:17] gvrv, if you want download and install it, you should install dependenies too [10:17] woah... there are the errors.. just popped up in the log file [10:17] enq you can set servername.dev to point to localhost. [10:17] wols, still no luck http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294497/ [10:17] but dr_willis i will have to do it for each *.dev, dont i? [10:17] iceroot, yep, certain about that [10:18] GVRV: hm, you have aptitude installed? maybe that can rescue the issue [10:18] enq: yes [10:18] blackshirt, really didn't think I'd need to :/ I thought it'd fetch the needed dependencies [10:18] 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] iceroot, nope :( [10:18] GVRV: are you out of room on your / ? [10:18] hmm... any other solutions? ofc i dont add alot of extra names, but still [10:19] iceroot: it's a dpkg error message. aptitude won't do anything [10:19] trap24: it has a different featureset. not tried cairodock here in ages [10:19] iceroot: and the dpkg error message is crap and useless :( [10:19] wols, nope plenty of space available [10:19] dr_willis: hehe.. ok [10:19] 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] GVRV: go to /tmp and run dpkg --unpack there [10:20] gvrv, if you download it from different repository, ? [10:20] 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] !aptitude | iceroot [10:20] 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] wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294483/ [10:21] bazhang: thought that bug is fixed in 12.04 [10:21] iceroot, aptitude wont help here [10:21] iceroot: do you know a newer one than http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294483/ [10:21] Can i use the truecrypt bootloader with ubuntu? [10:21] sorry. do you know a newer one than 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 ? [10:21] wols, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294511/ [10:21] wols: he was 2.15-0ubuntu10.2 0 the repo has 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 [10:21] ok thanks for help [10:22] wols: the installed 10.2 with dpkg -i [10:22] blackshirt, nope, downloaded it from precise-updates [10:22] iceroot: he tries to install 10.3 which causes the error, duh [10:22] wols: because the 10.2 fails which je installed with dpkg -i [10:23] 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] iceroot: please stop talking to me until you make sense. have a niec day [10:23] wols: ... whatever.. [10:23] but it seems to work fine if I have two of my three computer screens turned off [10:24] 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] 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 [10:25] wols: but i guess you are the guru, so good luck with that [10:25] gvrv, commonly, the newer libc installed was for upgrading process [10:25] iceroot, wols lets be civil please [10:25] wols, switch to a different repo? which one? [10:27] 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 :( [10:28] well.. I'm going to bed... guess I'll try to figure it out in the morning [10:29] hi [10:30] is it possible to update upgrade an installed ubuntu 12.10 which is broken and cant boot while i run another distro?

I'm using netvibes as my default rss reader, but for some time I'm willing to try out other options. What is a deal-breaker for me is ability to synchronize feeds list and (un)read status of items in each feed between multiple computers. Do you know of any program capable of doing so? (and yes, i've already asked BestBot) [10:32] GVRV: Grabbing your backup and restore it from there. [10:32] GVRV: dpkg -l |grep libc6 [10:33] aptosid: it's possible. you boot the other distro and chroot to ubuntu (all console). then you can fix your ubuntu [10:33] wols, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294551/ [10:33] hey i'm trying to install acpi_call from https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call but when I attempt to modprobe acpi_call I get: FATAL: Module acpi_call not found.

[11:59] Is there a good source for Ubuntu and Linux games in general? A news site, a mailing list? [12:00] noooo, as in re=install 12.10...fresh [12:00] JeffryToobz, getdeb [12:00] inflex: you might try moving your ~/.purple folder to see if that helps? [12:00] yeats: ja, was going to be the next attempt. [12:01] hello all, how can I solve this ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/201309/was-there-media-mount-point-location-or-planned-change [12:01] inflex: fwiw I had a very successful 12.04 -> 12.10 upgrade with working pidgin afterwards [12:01] Chris-Magentium: cool resource for files. But is there a news and scene site? [12:01] yeats: ja, probably just an install-specific setup on my side, everything else seems fine; this system has been upgraded right from 7.10 [12:01] ( collectively over the years ) [12:01] inflex: wow - impressive! [12:01] JeffryToobz, not that i know if, i am looking for something like that as well. Have not seen anything just yet [12:02] JeffryToobz, you know what, im going to MAKE ONE!!!! [12:02] yeats: well, bad news; even with .purple moved out of the way, still dies; I'll try a purge-reinstall option [12:02] Chris-Magentium: I'd totally dig that [12:02] inflex: hope that does it [12:02] JeffryToobz, already on it :P [12:03] ubuntu.magentium.com [12:03] will be live in an hour or so [12:03] hey anyone know how to block torrent traffic in network?? [12:03] yeats: I'm sure I'll find the problem eventually. Not like I'm going to go back to Slackware for my desktop again :D [12:03] SouravAJ, #network [12:04] SouravAJ, #networking (sorry) [12:04] means in lan [12:04] or u can say in router [12:04] LAN = local area NETWORK [12:04] you can still block common ports === erry is now known as errietta [12:05] how can u please tell? [12:05] you should read your router's user manual [12:06] ok can we do with iptables?? [12:06] Torrents will always be difficult to block, because you can just randomize the port. [12:06] SouravAJ: why do you want to block torrents? [12:06] SouravAJ, of course, but check what Chris-Magentium said [12:07] 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] actually my wi-fi is using in many computers in my family and everyone download torrent so i cant surf [12:07] Chris-Magentium: Then setup deep packet inspection and filter out those packages. [12:07] SouravAJ, talk with them [12:08] first place [12:08] 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] ok if i block all ports can i download local things from a website like mp3 pdf etc? [12:08] Chris-Magentium: ack :) [12:09] bekks, DPI is a pretty highly aggressive thing to do for such matter. If it was business maybe but even then... [12:09] SouravAJ: You will need to use layer-7 filtering to detect and block P2P connections. See http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ [12:09] SouravAJ: No. When blocking all ports, all ports are blocked. You have to open the ports you need. [12:09] 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] Has anyone here actually gotten VLC to play Bluray discs in Ubuntu? [12:09] h7r: l7filter. :) [12:09] good to know that i'm not going senile ;) [12:09] ok [12:10] insomniac_lemon: Yes, I did recently whilst testing a new BD drive.

It doesn't go in the same place in Ubuntu as other Linux distros [12:11] insomniac_lemon: I had to install the known keys to a directory in the user's home, but VLC looked there and used them [12:11] insomniac_lemon: All the packages used were from the Ubuntu archives. [12:11] I have two interfaces configured on ubuntu server, eth0 and virbr0 (KVM NAT), I'm trying to forward udp port for openvpn 1194 but cannot get it to work,could anyone advice?

I'm trying to find the document I used ... give me a mo, got to search back a month or more in browser history [12:13] ment0s, what you are trying to do ? [12:14] bipul: open port 1194 on eth0 from source virbr0 [12:14] hi everyone [12:14] i mean forward === Guest3202 is now known as Aranel [12:14] is there a way to install widgets in ubuntu desktop? [12:14] ment0s, so you want to forward the port 1194 [12:14] insomniac_lemon: Here it is! http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ [12:14] i'd like to have the weather display and also my system information [12:14] TJ-, actually, you just made me realize, I'll try doing that, too. On my VM which I tested it on, I tried using the file on the site, but didn't think to install the AACS packages. [12:14] Hey all [12:15] hi BluesKaj [12:15] insomniac_lemon: yeah, using 12.04 libaacs was already installed [12:15] Ubuntu.Magentium.com JeffryToobz [12:15] TJ-, yeah, that's what I was going by. Installed the keys, but the site had the AACS stuff to install, too. [12:15] bipul: yes [12:15] hi ardchoille [12:16] TJ-, wait, what? Then it should've worked for me. [12:16] ment0s, so whear is the problem ? [12:16] where are the usual places for alsa configuration files on an ubuntu server (i.e. there's no /etc/asound.conf nor ~/.asoundrc around)? [12:16] insomniac_lemon: Yes, I'd assume so. Mine shows "apt-cache policy libaacs0 ... libaacs0: Installed: 0.3.0-4" [12:16] bipul: the problem is, the port is not opening and not forwarding [12:17] insomniac_lemon: And "ls -l ~/.config/aacs/ ... -rw-rw-r-- 1 tj tj 3006 Apr 20 2012 KEYDB.cfg" [12:17] ment0s, humm let me see give me a time [12:17] ment0s, do you have a router? [12:17] bipul: I've installed rinetd and it opened tcp, and I need UDP [12:18] joseph^: all gotta work on ubuntu host, forwarding KVM nat to eth0 [12:18] oh i see [12:18] h7r, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [12:18] was trying to use ufw but could find anything whats working [12:19] yeats: seems the frei0r-plugins are the issue [12:19] so does anyone know if there is a way to install widgets in ubuntu desktop? [12:21] BluesKaj, i was thinking more about where the devices/outputs are configured [12:21] ment0s, pm ? [12:23] h7r, what are you trying to do in alsa?

[12:26] BluesKaj, pairing/connecting is ok already. i'm not sure if this answers your question [12:26] hello [12:26] hy everybody [12:26] does anyone hear me? [12:26] yes me :) [12:26] yes we do. [12:27] great =) [12:27] anyone does using ubuntu 12.10 [12:27] Did anyone use ubuntu studios? [12:27] h7r, what does the bluetooth device do ,why do you need to configure alsa and audio? [12:27] mariusz__: yes? [12:28] foxes, I have a question about ubuntu studios 12.10. [12:28] how to remove bar from left side ?? [12:28] hatgor: post your Q [12:28] mariusz__: the dash bar? [12:28] yes [12:28] 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. [12:29] mariusz__: What do you want to do after removing it? [12:29] , what should i post? [12:29] am using cairo dock up to now [12:30] mariusz, use xfce with cairo dock [12:30] hey, can someone help me reverting the mount points policy in 12.10 ? [12:30] i just want move all icons (shortcut) in to the desktop [12:30] Supermanintights, yes, you can recover the data as long as it has not been overwritten yet. [12:30] mariusz__: You can hide the bar, but not disable [12:30] 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] Hey guys. Is there any software that I can use to share my wi-fi internet in Ubuntu? Like Connectfy for Windows... [12:30] hatgor: its your Q [12:30] so how to make shortcut of other aplications ?? [12:31] mongi: It's built-in and is called networkmanager ;) Wireless -> New -> Shared [12:31] 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] BluesKaj, i'm using (or trying to) bluez-alsa [12:31] 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] BluesKaj, and am stuck to 11.10 [12:31] 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] hahahaah thanks for that :D [12:31] 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] mariusz__: example, search for home folder in the dash and then drag its icon to the desktop [12:32] 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] theadmin: is that correct? [12:32] muelli, I'm new to ubuntu - can you just expand on what you wrote a bit? How would that work? [12:32] mongi: Well you can't have the same device working both as the receiver and the broadcaster. [12:32] mongi: So yes, that's right, I'm not sure if you'll find anything that can [12:32] 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] how can i configure automatic updates? [12:33] Supermanintights: do you have another medium that is big enough to hold the old one? [12:33] theadmin: I can do it in windows, with the intel driver =/ [12:33] Hi, can someone give me a little help, please? [12:33] wab: yes? [12:33] theadmin: but thanks, anyway =) [12:34] fuck irc [12:34] Supermanintights: cf. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/10/dd-command-examples/ or http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm [12:34] !anyone | wab [12:34] wab: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

Let me try in a second [12:34] Supermanintights, here is a useful (windows) piece of software that you can use to recover deleted files: http://www.remosoftware.com/remo-recover-windows . Not sure if you can find a tool like this for Linux, though. [12:34] theadmin: that would be very nice of you, thanks =D hehe [12:35] mongi, what do you mean by "sharing" ? you have Internet through wifi and then you want to share that connection through wifi as well ? [12:35] hey, can someone help me reverting the mount points policy in 12.10 ? [12:35] DX099: correct [12:35] mongi: Oh, never mind, I have no way of checking as Android can't connect to adhoc networks :/ [12:36] i'm getting a "network is unreachable" error, can anyone give me a little help with this, please?

It should be "/home/$USER/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg" not "home/.comfig/aacs/KEYDB.cfg" [12:36] wab: How are you connected? [12:36] DX009: is it possible? hehe [12:37] defekt, I saw those but it doesn't cover automatic mouting like by nautilus [12:37] TJ- ".comfig" and lack of / in front of home were just errors on my part, not the actual path [12:37] insomniac_lemon: OK. Have you started vlc from a terminal with verbose logging running? That may give a clue [12:38] mongi, I never thought that a wifi device could operate in two modes at the same time [12:38] DX099: And it can't %) [12:38] TJ-, where does VLC output its error logs in Ubuntu to? [12:38] vibhav what do you mean? normal connection, I think [12:39] theadmin DX099: but i'm doing right now on my windows with connectfy and intel my wifi hehe [12:39] mongi: What's the point of sharing a wi-fi connection over wi-fi anyway? [12:39] mongi: Can't you just connect to the primary network? [12:39] DX099: they are just temp mounts that get mounted in /media/ , df output not enough? [12:39] theadmin: the notebook gets stroger signal, where my phone gets any =/ [12:40] Guys, did anyone use an ubuntu studios 12.10? [12:40] mongi: Oh... [12:40] so doing this i'm able to connect on my phone where i'm hehe [12:40] mongi: Check out "hostapd" [12:40] theadmin: ok ;D [12:40] mongi: Maybe you can creat a wireless networ with Ubuntu, and find out if there is something like "Internet Connection Sharing" in Ubuntu. [12:40] defekt, yes i'm talking about those === jakub__ is now known as jakub_r [12:41] defekt, this is the problem : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1068277 [12:41] Launchpad bug 1068277 in ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) "New /media/$user mounting in 12.10 is poorly dcumented" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:41] vibhav i was reading and following an tutorial, and I successfully done it all, except for this part that I cant solve no matter what, i've googled it but no luck at all [12:42] insomniac_lemon: to the launching terminal "vlc -v 10" or something similar, and you can capture to a log-file with "vlc -v 10 2>&1 | tee vlc.log" [12:42] wab: What was the tutorial on? [12:43] TJ-, well VLC has already made error logs, I just don't know where they are. [12:43] muelli, RE: medium - my current harddrive can hold the 750mb there was. I do have a second harddrive that corrupted itself (2tb - NOT MY FAULT THIS TIME), but that's out of use til I can get another 2tb drive or larger to recover it. So in short, yes I should. Sorry for delay had to do work stuff quickly. back now. [12:44] I have two monitors. How can I remove the title bar / systray / clock from one of them? [12:44] vibhav about surfing safely and anonymous [12:44] Supermanintights: k. So you do have a medium that's big enough to hold the old one. So as I've said, I would use "dd" to backup the corrupt drive to not risk any further data modification [12:44] h7r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio [12:44] the thing is that on windows those softs create a virtual card [12:45] BluesKaj, been there === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [12:46] oal thereas a check box/setting somewhere to enable/disable the panel on both or 1 monitor. i just recall it being at the bottom of some settings toom, displays perhaps? [12:47] ciao [12:47] * dr_willis hides from the !list zombies [12:47] insomniac_lemon: Without a specific path they'll be in the directory where vlc starts from; usually $HOME I think [12:47] do i just copy paste "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/media/otherdrive/bitbackup.dd bs=4M" into terminal - do I need to change any text to get it to choose the correct drive? on gparted it's showing as /dev/sdb [12:47] @muelli [12:48] h7r , you could make an ~/.asoundrc file and configure it yourself , but i have no experience with bluetooth headsets and drivers. [12:48] Supermanintights: Well then make it sdb [12:48] DX099: looks like you will have to create a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ Check this out it might be what you are looking for http://askubuntu.com/questions/149922/how-to-make-nautilus-to-mount-at-drivename-instead-of-media-drivename. Otherwise you might have to wait for the bug to be solved [12:48] Supermanintights: yeah, replace /dev/sdc with the correct drive. And of course, of= shall hold the correct output location. Maybe ~/backup.dd or so === Youri is now known as YBook [12:49] BluesKaj, i tried to no effect. should i restart something after editing ~/.asoundrc? alsa's services here are only alsa-restore/alsa-store.

[12:51] I want to buy a mobile device for my laptop, and was wondering if anyone knows one that will work out of the box. I was looking at the T-mobile Rocket, and was wondering if anyone here used one? [12:51] defekt, thanks ! It's quite confusing though... is there any justification for this ? FHS didn't change... [12:51] BluesKaj, additionally, according to the guide (from the link you sent) i should edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, which i don't have under that directory [12:51] gaetano: I have no idea what desktop Ubuntu Studio uses. [12:51] gaetano: You can as well open a terminal and start "gksudo jockey-gtk", if you prefer. [12:51] BluesKaj, i really think, so far, my problem is not really bluetooth related, but some misunderstanding of the what to configure under alsa (specially where) [12:52] DX099: I agree, I don't think they needed to change it [12:52] hi [12:52] muelli - do I still need that 'bs=4m'? [12:52] are there stats of what ubuntu version is used more often? i386 vs. amd64 [12:52] theadmin: ok im gonna tried it! thanx [12:52] I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 in nomodeset [12:52] dr_willis: hmm, cant find it [12:52] Supermanintights: no. but it's probably smart for performance reasons.

[13:48] 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). === quake is now known as Guest57818 [13:49] 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.

[14:32] vickytomar__: that should (according to you) hang your machine [14:32] what is the difference between bcmwl-kernel-source and broadcom-sta-common drivers? [14:32] vickytomar__: once that happens look at the folling [14:32] ikonia : yes [14:32] bloodlife: yes [14:32] ikonia : ok [14:33] vickytomar__: is the window running vmstat still scrolling or has it just locked [14:33] vickytomar__: press the numlock/capslock keyboard buttons, [14:33] jrib: pls wait while i try it now.. ty [14:33] after my ubuntu 10.04 lts is no longer supported, do I have to upgrade for security purpose's? [14:33] vickytomar__: does the light on your keyboard go on/off when you press them [14:33] bloodlife: that's one of the main benefits of using a package system [14:33] jrib, probably NTFS. [14:33] t4nk: yes [14:33] vickytomar__: then reboot the machine and do "ls -la /home/vickytomar/breakfile" and report the info back in this channel [14:33] Baribal: have you tried instead trying to extract to your HOME (presumably ext4)? [14:33] vickytomar__: that's it, can you do that ok ? [14:33] jrib: that was simple enough, lol. [14:34] t4nk: heh [14:34] jrib: thanks [14:34] t4nk: keep in mind, you can upgrade 10.04 directly to the next LTS (12.04) [14:34] jrib, I don't have the neccessary space there.

[14:38] my guess is there's a way to manipulate the file names though I don't know how offhand [14:38] bloodlife: what ubuntu version? How are you looking for it? [14:38] Baribal: if you're only using your external HD for linux, then you can format it to extX without any problems [14:39] I put it in pastebin http://pastebin.com/TaMPdFzx [14:39] would anyone happen to have a monochrome xchat icon?! [14:39] yeats, sadly, no other drive I have is big enough to hold the tars temporarily, so I can't even reformat it without losing the archive. [14:39] jrib: i'm using 10.04LTS [14:40] Baribal: maybe use gparted to partition the external HD? [14:40] anyone know why I cant see chat msgs in the #drupal-support chan? [14:40] Good point, yeats, I guess that's the last straw to grasp... [14:40] bitbaud: ask in #freenode for help with the network [14:40] anyone know why I cant see chat msgs in the #drupal-support chan? i doubt all users are away [14:40] bloodlife: honeyd is available there as well [14:41] does someone know what part of udevd configuration manage other partitions mounting points in Ubuntu 12.10 ?

If you're using APT, then you don't need to do any of that [14:52] ikonia : vmstat was not scrolling data but keybord's caps lock light could be turn on and off [14:52] oh wow DJones that is awesome [14:52] vickytomar__: is your keyboard wired or wireless ?

[14:54] ikonia : i am afraid of reinstalling ubuntu 12.04.... yes that file is been created [14:55] vickytomar__: ok, so this doesn't sound like a true system freeze [14:55] ikona : me too suppose that but how to fix it..... [14:55] vickytomar__: if you click on anything does the machine respond ? [14:55] ikonia : no mc. was not responding on clicks [14:56] vickytomar__: forget midnight commander, I'm talking about the machine, can you open nautilus, a terminal, anything else [14:56] how can I get the number of cores of an ubuntu machine? [14:56] Lscpu [14:57] lscpu ???

[15:00] ikonia : no i can open windows and any thing now not then... [15:00] lscpu counts HT cores as well under CPU, right? [15:00] vickytomar__: so when I asked you about caps lock, and you said it worked, was that when it was frozen, or after ? [15:00] hi all [15:00] ikonia : ya i even now saying same caps lock worked [15:00] I guess, in that case divide the cores by twi [15:00] *two [15:00] vickytomar__ no - please listen to what I'm asking and answer clearly [15:01] ikonia: mouse pointer was moving along [15:01] subichan, cat /proc/cpuinfo does, so lscpu does it too [15:01] ikonia : ya i am here please go a head [15:01] 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] there is anything to apply a different theme to unity? [15:01] lscpu is available on all linux distros? I mean is it portale enough to be used in a script? [15:01] subichan, see above, better substitute it with: cat /proc/cpuinfo [15:01] Its a bash command for the terminal [15:01] subichan: it's part of util-linux, yes [15:02] ikonia : you said "test capslock" yes i tested it was working while machine was hanged.

I am assuming it works with a virtual disk on your existing NTFS drive? [16:22] have you run sudo updtae-grub since upgrading to 12.10, jakubo ? [16:22] Hello, does anybody knows how to add resolutions to screen, other than 800x600 -- the only I have right now? :P [16:22] danslo: using wubi is more to use for test that a daily use, i recomend you to make a reall install if what you desire is the latest [16:22] er update-grub [16:22] it doesnt even install well [16:22] it says its not possible to write grub to the device === erry_ is now known as erry [16:23] danslo: wubi will run slower than native install. Also, it is subject to fragmentation as it exists in a windows file. That said, wubi is a TESTING platform - so sayeth the developers.

I previously use Ubuntu 12.04 dualboot with Windows XP Home and then it showed boot options, but now theres not. [16:26] why is it that root cannot browse the the network using Nautilus, but I can? [16:26] i have tried to reinstall and to reconfigure with dpkg-reconfigure, but it just refuses to see the array, only the partitions [16:27] compdoc: 1) does root have permission? 2) why are you even doing this? [16:27] wab, What is the matter [16:27] Matriks404: grub will show if there's more than one OS or kernel. Otherwise this is normal behavior [16:27] f [16:27] cfhowlett: ok, thanks. === root is now known as help === help is now known as adamsobotka [16:28] No, jakubo not chroot in , just open a terminal on the live cd and do , sudo grub-install /dev/sdX where X is the letter assigned to that partition.

[16:31] david1234: is fsck running? It may take some time to complete if so...

I was only using 2.97g however due to my having a 32-bit operating system. I then used WUBI to install ubuntu 12.10 and it seems to be running kinda slowly. It freezes frequently and I have to wait 20-30 seconds for responsiveness. Anyway to fix this, or did I do something incorrectly?

[16:53] L3top: in var/log/syslog, there's a line saying "[INFO]: recovery required on readonly filesystem". Nautilus mounts the drive successfully, but the partition is read only. [16:53] plustax: it shouldn't be slow at all [16:53] ikonia: i mistakely installed grub, will it matter? [16:54] it seems fine now bloom213 but a few minutes ago I would simply navigate through folders and it would freeze. [16:54] aafa: not really [16:54] L3top: there are also lines saying "write access will be enabled during recovery" and "recovery complete" [16:54] bloom213, perhaps I spoke too soon lol. It's flying now. [16:54] ikonia: how to remove grub? and does it affect grub2? [16:54] david1234: fsck should fix that... I am not quite sure what is going on... gimme a min [16:54] plustax: ok good thats the way it should be ;) [16:54] aafa: no, it will just be there in place of grub2, if it's working, leave it alone [16:54] bloom213, I installed gnome 3. Its like I just got a brand new computer. Im in love. [16:55] What desktop environment do you prefer and use?

[16:57] Why not? :) [16:57] It's default on Ubuntu. [16:57] L3top: don't want to rush you but.. you remember me? :D [16:57] aafa: grub2 isn't necessary to install [16:57] i will boot another OS installed with GPT scheme [16:57] bekks: apparantly he's accidentally installed grub1 [16:57] flexm: now what do i have? grub or grub2? [16:57] t [16:58] hi there all :-) [16:58] aafa: OK [16:58] aafa: how did you install grub1 ? [16:58] aafa: gpt will not cause you a problem [16:58] yes I am building you an xorg. [16:58] gimme a few [16:58] great this distro... hurra :-) [16:58] very configurable [16:58] dury: Yeah it is great [16:58] ikonia: i think i didnt install, but typed: sudo apt-get install grub, does it install bootloader or ? [16:59] aafa: that will install the grub package, [16:59] aafa: this isn't making any sense [16:59] dury: Did you just installed ubuntu [16:59] Bugari: you have 3 monitors? [16:59] aafa: if grub2 didn't install, you wouldn't have been able to boot your machine, so you couldn't have typed apt-get install grub [16:59] Bugari: one of which is an actual CRT? [16:59] ikonia: ah okk, so that it will be the same grub2 [16:59] minimalist too If you want [16:59] aafa: what you are saying makes no sense, [17:00] L3top: yes, I'll tell you, gimme sec [17:00] ikonia: no i got the sense how grub works [17:00] L3top: the one described with 'CRT-1' [17:00] aafa you're not listening to what I'm asking, you're just responding with random words [17:00] I am not doing this if you have an actual CRT attached to this system. A bad modeline can physically damage it. [17:00] flexm: well I've been using this distro .... let's say since release 7 [17:00] Is there any way to install rootstock [17:00] L3top: it's not crt, its LCD, it's just recognized this way :P [17:01] ikonia: i get what i need not what you need ;p [17:01] ff [17:01] aafa: again, you're just saying random words, if you want help, you need to read the question and actually respond with relevant info [17:01] ikonia: eventually im thankfull to you [17:01] but the essence it's GNU/linux [17:01] ok Bugari. That was why I asked. [17:01] L3top: If I see correctly, it's X screen 2, if it makes any diffrence [17:02] Bugari: I know where it is... I am just not trying to deal with an ACTUAL CRT. [17:02] ikonia: i've my own style, but for grub it has always been a disrty bootloader..even after uninstalling ubuntu it still remains there..but it works for linux which is cool [17:03] aafa if you are not going to answer the questions I'm asking you to try and help you and just keep answering with random noise, please don't bother responding to me again [17:03] L3top: I'm not saying you can't locate it, i'm just trying to get as much info as possible :P it's not crt, it's lcd, I'm sure of it :D [17:03] flexm : rootstock? [17:04] * aafa is sure about ikonia rocks! and already got his answers hehe [17:05] Everytime I want to open a file I just downloaded used any browser, I get this message: Kon ‘/home/ubuntu/Downloads/ninite (1).deb’ niet weergeven.

The problem is, I understand it isn't a folder, but I want to open the file anyway.. [17:06] flexm? [17:06] Bugari: backup your current xorg.conf and try this. No promises... I don't deal with xinerama [17:06] L3top: okay, great :) [17:07] AlexPortable: you can't just 'open" a .deb you need to extract it. dpkg-deb -x *.deb /tmp/extract/ [17:07] L3top: tried rebooting after running fsck from the LiveCD, still have the same issue. Looks like fsck has finished running (as it took <1 second to run from the LiveCD), but it's still hanging. [17:07] IdleOne: I can when I double click it from nautilus [17:07] Or also applies to .txt files [17:07] bloom213, how do I access my windows files from my ubuntu installation? I cant find them in my folders anywhere [17:07] L3top: "this"? [17:07] L3top: was able to write to the /dev/sda1 partition as root from the LiveCD [17:07] plustax, This a wubi install?

[17:08] Yes but also for .txt files [17:08] I want them to open with gedit or something [17:08] plustax, hehe keep looking they are there I forget exactly where sorry. [17:08] Not just trying to open them with nautilus [17:08] ah crap haha [17:08] okay [17:08] That will probably have to be altered Bugari...

[17:09] Anyone have any idea how to make battery times more accurate? I'm seeing improved battery life on 12.10... but when I boot up, it says 3 hrs available... now, 5 hours later, it's saying 1:28 remaining... [17:09] bloom213, where might it be? [17:09] I looked in root, usr, bin, lib [17:09] everywhere haha [17:09] Im a bit of a linux noob [17:09] plustax, might be media or mnt you will have to look from file which is root I believe. [17:09] wilee-nilee, how do I get gui root again? Whats the terminal command [17:09] L3top: time to reboot mdm, i'll be back soon :) === Cormac is now known as W8KWA [17:10] L3top: some further testing. From recovery mode, I chose "network". Was asked if I wanted to "remount your /filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab". When I chose yes, it gave me the two-line fsck status, and is now hung again. [17:10] I'm having an issue with my new install of 12.10. Occasionally (every fifth boot or so) the graphical load will fail and I'll be dumped into a black screen with nothing on it except for some white text at the top that say "[ OK ]". the only thing that gets me out of that is manually powering off the machine and rebooting, after which it works fine. [17:11] When I went into recovery mode it gave an error, saying that 'the last mount time for dev/sda5 was in the future, probably due to a miscalibrated hardware clock' [17:11] Any ideas about what is going on? [17:12] david1234: it seems as though something is very wrong with your install or the physcial disk. I am not really sure where to start troubleshooting... can you load a live disk and fsck it from there? Or did we do that already? [17:12] Can anyone look at my problem I cant install Programs in Ubuntu. The details are in http://pastebin.com/TaMPdFzx ... please? [17:12] L3top: Yes, we tried fsck'ing from a LiveCD. It finished in less than 1 second and did not output any error to the terminal. [17:13] wilee-nilee, I found it. Host folder then users [17:13] for future notice :D [17:13] cool [17:13] I don't know about the [OK] issue ls612 - but you can check to see what the hardware time is in the BIOS. Enter setup the next time you boot up (the key differs by your motherboard maker, but it might be something like F2) [17:13] L3top: The issues started after I did the release upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. Is there any way to roll back? [17:13] ls612, and then you can adjust the time in the BIOS manually [17:13] drkokandy: My HW time is fine, I checked. [17:14] L3top: I already ran SpinRite on the whole hard drive, no errors were reported. [17:14] wilee-nilee: IdleOne any clue?

When you try to view a .txt file by double clicking on it what happens? [17:15] AlexPortable, generally no, and just asking people randomly is rather a strange response. [17:15] david1234: this is why I always do fresh installs. You might consider moving your /home to a separate partition. Makes installing different versions a WHOLE lot easier. I would backup /home and reinstall. [17:16] wilee-nilee: i'm not asking randomly. You replied to me [17:16] hello all [17:16] AlexPortable: focus :) [17:16] IdleOne: Because doubleclicking from the browser is faster than having to go to /home/alex/Downloads/file.txt [17:16] L3top: OK. My main concern is that I used LVM on two other hard drives to store multiple terabytes of media. How do I back up this config? [17:16] (so that I do not lose any media data) [17:16] AlexPortable: yes I understand that. what error are you getting when you double click on a .txt ?

I can not install updates adobe flash player. the only thing I can do and save it to your desktop. help me please :) [17:17] Hello! Please help me get work Option's GTM 378 [17:17] L3top: (it happened to be 1920x1080, but I handled that ;P) [17:17] AlexPortable, Not today, hehbe [17:17] I have 10.10 right now, but I would like to upgrade to 12.04 and my video card is not supported in the new version [17:17] !flash | antisocial [17:17] antisocial: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:17] danman1453: Which card vevry exactly do you have? [17:18] wilee-nilee: sorry i thought you nickmentioned me xd [17:18] AlexPortable, Honestly I can barely remember my own name. ;) [17:18] Does anyone have any ideas about my occasionally inability to boot 12.10? [17:19] ls612: Does your system goes on fire when it can't boot? [17:19] Or does the pc shuts down? [17:19] glad you got it going... sorry if I put a bad value in there... was working off of a template which is at 1080p. [17:19] or do you get kernel panic? [17:19] anyone common with grub2? [17:19] bugari: ^ [17:19] jakubo: #grub [17:19] jakubo: do you want the whole channel to answer 'yes' ? [17:19] ls612, Not without some detail, a bootscript being run would get us closer at least me. [17:19] i have tried there already, but i got no response [17:19] 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] then wait for response jakubo [17:19] !behelpful [17:19] As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [17:20] AlexPortable: chill out please. [17:20] no need to be offended alexportable [17:20] It just gets stuck on the aforementioned screen with "[ OK ]" on the top. That OK is not an operable button. [17:20] bekks: working on it... is there an easy way to list installed hardware? [17:20] if i have two folders with the same name, one of which has some updated files, how do i write the newer folder into older folder to add the additional files/and overwrite the older files via command line? [17:20] ls612, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [17:20] run that an post it [17:20] danman1453: lspci | grep VGA [17:20] L3top: man, no reason to be sorry, you saved the day, and if i remember correctly, I gave you wrong values :P screen showed message what resolusion is correct, when wrong was provided :P [17:21] OK. I'll get back when I reproduce it. [17:21] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [17:21] insomniac_lemon and ubottu thanks for now [17:22] dumb question: how do I msg a specific user a response? [17:22] !tab | danman1453 [17:22] danman1453: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:22] thanks [17:22] bekks, did you get that? [17:23] antisocial, Ubottu is a bot :) (also, when I said Chrome, I did mean Chrome, you need to go online to get it, it isn't in the software center) [17:23] 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] danman1453: Yes. [17:23] insomniac_lemon, chromium is no different and is available in the software center [17:23] danman1453: And why do you think it is unsupported? [17:24] because, if I choose to upgrade, it gives me a msg that it is not supported [17:24] 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] I tried a fresh install of 12.04 from dvd, and the screen was cut off. Max resolution of 640x480. [17:24] insomniac_lemon, Ah, gotcha. I guess I havent need any of the extra chrome features. [17:24] insomniac_lemon, like what? (other than flash) [17:25] anyone answer my screenshot question? [17:25] 9.10 installed without a hitch. Then I upgraded to 10.10 [17:25] brontosaurusrex, chromium has flash [17:25] its a plugin [17:25] brontosaurusrex, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome [17:25] Can I see the exact message danman1453? When you try and upgrade? [17:26] plustax, Flash on Chrome is less buggy than the plugin version in Chromium [17:26] plustax: i thought printscn launched the screenshot app. [17:26] insomniac_lemon, thanks [17:27] plustax: tgeres some indicator applets to make screenahots easier also. list is at askubuntu.com [17:28] does anyone have experience port fowarding on a zyxel modem/router? having issues rerouting incoming 23 to port 22 of a 2nd computer I want to ssh to [17:29] How come I've got this problem with locale. If I run locale -a sv_SE.utf8 shows in the end. Ive edited /etc/enviroment and put LC_CTYPE,LANG,LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL to ="sv_SE.UTF-8". I did put sv_SE.UTF8 UTF-8 in top of /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and also put LANG="sv_SE.UTF-8" in /etc/default/locale. Cant see wht i've missed here? [17:30] Hello [17:31] riverless: you haven't said what the problem is [17:31] jrib: for example, if I ask date for printout the respons is sön 21 okt 2012 19.31.29 CEST [17:32] If I create an directory called "täst", the printout from ls is t?st [17:32] riverless: what's the output of "env"? [17:32] I have a couple of 2TB hard drives mapped to multiple logical volumes using LVM. They are accessed using Ubuntu which is installed on a completely separate hard drive. How do I go about backing up / restoring the LVM configuration so that after I reinstall Ubuntu my logical volumes will be set up as before and all my data will still be there? [17:32] I have been having troubles with web integration, now I beleive it is my own fault, used the beta version on 12.04 for a while and It stopped working there but i didnt much care i just waited for 12.10, but now it is not working here.

[17:34] Hi all, I can't get Ubuntu 12.04.1 to do a fsck at boot up, neither by touching /forcefsck nor by running 'shutdown -rF now'. It always shows '*** /dev/sda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***' after each reboot. I also deleted motd.tail but without success. Does anyone have a hint for me? [17:35] riverless: what context is this in? I assume you aren't on the desktop with X logged in locally? [17:35] jrib: remote access thru putty [17:36] ls612, You can also use this app click on the bootinfo summary only and it will give you a http address to post. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:36] riverless: it might be an issue with putty. Is it possible to test locally on the system? Or to ssh with a terminal on ubuntu? [17:36] wilee-nilee: I literally copy-pasted the command, and it said in the terminal === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid [17:36] riverless: http://superuser.com/questions/264363/how-can-i-use-utf-8-on-linux-from-windows-7-via-putty first answer refers to some putty setting [17:37] "gawk could not be found, using "busybox awk" instead. this may lead to unreliable results."

I have a home partition so it is still the same home folder as before [17:37] jrib: but the strange thing is that I can write like åäö without any problems in the shell [17:37] jrib: its the response of the result that comes with wrong chars [17:38] ls612, Linux commands have to be exact there at least 4 commands shown on that page, for different setups. ;) [17:38] I get the grub Error 27 after typing any command, such as ls, grub --version [17:38] riverless: try the "Window → Translation → Received data assumed to be in which character set → UTF-8" setting in Putty [17:38] anyone can help with a vm running ubuntu, please?

[17:43] wat90, hmmm, that 75 GBs of free space you have there? [17:43] what are sda1 and sda2? [17:43] wat90: what are sda1 and sda2? [17:43] It doesn' t matter as long as my ntfs doesn' t get touched [17:43] I have no idea [17:43] those are of my previous Fedora installation [17:43] I have a couple of 2TB hard drives mapped to multiple logical volumes using LVM. They are accessed using Ubuntu which is installed on a completely separate hard drive. How do I go about backing up / restoring the LVM configuration so that after I reinstall Ubuntu my logical volumes will be set up as before and all my data will still be there?

I have read a post about how to fix this but it requires me dropping to a virtual terminal at the login screen, and crtl+alt+f<> keys don't bring me to prompts... any ideas? [17:44] wat90: you cant install on ntfs. you need an ext filesystem for ubuntu [17:44] k1l_: no I want to install Studio on my computer without touching the ntfs part, there are all my files [17:44] where and how shall I install? [17:45] 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 [17:46] wat90, the free space within /dev/sda There's nothing there, didn't you partition that out to use? [17:47] !text | luckyone [17:47] luckyone: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [17:47] close [17:48] riverless: I assume that's output from ls? [17:48] hi [17:48] 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] 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] jrib: correct [17:48] jrib: its also on something called a Flexraid raid [17:48] jrib: so there problably their stuff not working as well [17:48] 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 [17:49] 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 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 [17:49] 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] so... installed 12.10 and everything seems fine when my three displays are mirrored, or two of the three are turned off... but when running two or three screens video is extremely sluggish, and I get this nasty looking error in xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/1rxcHM5y [17:49] wat90: if you want step by step help pm me ok [17:50] I am pming you ketterer [17:50] jrib: well this company says that first fix your locale problem (what I think ive done), and now its their software not working [17:50] jrib: as I cant create täst properly on their partition [17:50] 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] 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] hi, i just installed xubuntu, xfce interface on ubuntu 10.10 and i cannot find the "display" icon in "system" to change the screen resolution,. this is causing many problems as i cannot log into yahoo mail and such because this is below their recommended resolution settings [17:51] riverless: you should contact them again now that you've sorted the locale issue [17:52] !10.10 | Siegel- [17:52] Siegel-: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [17:52] jrib: yea, one fast question, how can I get everything back in english? only the output, I dont want to read everything in swedish. [17:52] jrib: where is the display icon to change screen resolution on xfce [17:52] jrib: man and such commands looks stupid in swedish.. [17:53] Siegel-, AS a heads up 10.10 is end of life and actually not supported here. ;) [17:53] you may get help but far and few between [17:53] riverless: you can just prefix a command with the environment variable. So for example: LANG=C apt-cache policy mplayer. I don't remember, which takes precedence, so you may have to try LANG, LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL [17:53] I have been having troubles with web integration and i really would like to get it working, now I beleive it is my own fault, used the beta version on 12.04 for a while and It stopped working there but i didnt much care i just waited for 12.10, but now it is not working here. I have a home partition so it is still the same home folder as before [17:54] jrib: thanks [17:54] hi [17:54] take me some other channel to chat? [17:55] ketterer: you mean the 'webapps' feature on some sites like gmail, redit and amazon? [17:55] ketterer, web integration could mean anything, can you be more specific for the channel. [17:55] yes [17:55] i search a poland channel [17:55] the webapps feature sorry for not being specific [17:56] ok [17:56] tyy [17:56] ty [17:56] one word excellent, use nicks ketterer [17:56] ketterer: from what ive seen of it.... it tends to be flakey. ;) ive had it work one day then not the next.. [17:56] ketterer: you could test with a newly made user and se if it works. there may be some old settings confuseing it [17:57] dr_willis: ok, i have not had it work at all yet on 12.10, [17:57] ok [17:57] ill try that in a few mins [17:57] ketterer: from what ive seen of it.. you are not missing much. ;) [17:58] ketterer: during beta testing it was a very hit and miss feature [17:58] hmm ok that stinks, i really just like the facebook aand gmail notifications and google docs dash search [17:59] wilee-nilee: It will drop me into a black screen with some white text at the top that says "[ OK ]". That OK can not be used, the only way out is to hard restart. Sometimes before it drops me there it says it can't find a display adapter. I use Intel HD 4000 graphics. [17:59] ketterer: i dont even recall if those features worked or not. [18:00] that online accounts thing cazn notify you of most of that stuff without the webapps feature [18:00] ls612, Ah sounds like a graphic driver problem, there I really have no exsperience all my computers have worked so I have not really worked in this area. [18:01] experience* === VC is now known as Guest85545 [18:02] so what can I do to fix this? [18:03] hi, need help on font. Need to install "comic sans". Can someone help me? [18:03] ok thanks i may return later, i will try a new user [18:04] clo_, hahaha, is that a joke? [18:04] clo_, is comic sans not an msft core font? [18:04] clo_: install ttf-mscorefonts [18:04] wilee-nilee: and if it was a graphics driver problem why would it only happen when the recovery console says the system clock is off? [18:04] escott, yes [18:05] clo_, yes it is a corefont or yes it is not a corefont? [18:05] escott, not corefont [18:05] of course its corefont [18:06] clo_, if its not a corefont then you need to get the .ttf and drop it into ~/.fonts [18:06] ls612, I'm just guessing to be honest. [18:07] escott, okay [18:07] thank you [18:07] Can I run something to get graphics driver diagnostics? [18:07] clo_, im pretty sure its in the ttf-mscorefonts package [18:07] Oh well :P [18:07] ls612, Did you mention the clock before? [18:08] clo_That font is in the restricted-extras for your desktop a ms font. [18:09] wilee-nilee: Yes, the first post I made about this I believe I mentioned that the recovery console said that the last mount time for dev/sda5 was in the future by less than a day. And, after it fixes that it works fine the next boot. [18:09] how can i make the system use the precise repo for grub (system is quantal) [18:10] I have a problem with java, one website let's me use it's plugin on one page the other says it can't be detected [18:10] ls612, that could just be clock skew [18:11] 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] would it have anything to do with booting win7? [18:11] because that seems to trigger the issue repeatably. [18:11] ls612, yes [18:12] escott: so what can I do then to fix this? [18:12] ls612, I would use the ubuntu forums rather then the IRC for this if it was me. [18:12] at least as well. [18:12] and dont overlook askubuntu.com for help [18:12] How to install and connect a umts-stick without KDE/Gnome?

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 [18:15] bjrohan: could be one site wants the offical java, not the open sourced java [18:15] wilee-nilee: The 3rd party was: http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu could this have caused my problem? === Guest54991 is now known as Ex0deus [18:15] bjrohan, Me, are you serious. ;) [18:15] wilee-nilee: yes :-) you know more than i :-) [18:15] hardly [18:15] hi Boys , I use ubuntu 11.10 to do continuous download through torrent, how can i stop ALL other processes and power consumption ?

[18:17] wilee-nilee: me too, that is how I have 6 versions of java on my system now and none are a go [18:18] 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] 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] miss_ubuntu_: or use a very mini mal window manager for your gui client to run in [18:19] dr_willis thanks , what is minimal window manager? my cpu fan continuously make noise mens some processes are consuming cpu [18:19] miss_ubuntu_: more likely power saveings features are not enabled on your system/mb/bios [18:20] just the desktop 'idling' here shows a very few % cpu used on my system.

But it does not boot anymore after the upgrade to 12.10 [18:25] miss_ubuntu_: i just use htop [18:26] wilee-nilee: for some reason it wanted to reinitialize grub [18:26] and there I am, hanging in boot rescue for hours now.

[18:27] 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] 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] wilee-nilee: the server is in france [18:27] wanadoo sucks [18:27] wilee-nilee: I am in austria [18:27] humbolt: On a HP server, you have a remote virtual console. [18:28] humbolt, Ah, I can't really help then. [18:28] wilee-nilee: all I have is an IPMI console to at least see, what is going on [18:28] ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away [18:28] humbolt: You dont have access to the ILO? [18:28] bekks, knows this stuff though. [18:28] error: fd0 read error. error: fd1 read error. error: file not found. [18:28] lionofgod: the cube has never payed well with unity [18:28] I was using it in 12.04 [18:28] bekks: I do have access to iLO [18:28] dr_willis: ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away [18:28] But my main concern in transparency... [18:28] humbolt: Then you have access to the remote virtual console, too. [18:28] bekks: I can interact with grub rescue [18:28] hello guys :) [18:29] DOes compiz 0.9.8 not include transparency? [18:29] bekks: yes [18:29] humbolt: Then use it, to attache a livecd and chroot into your system. [18:29] Anyone else using compiz with ubuntu 12.10? [18:29] lionofgod, If your using unity your using compiz. [18:30] <|Anthony|> how do i recursively set a default acl? setfacl -m -d -R isn't working [18:30] 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] Let me reword that, has anyone opened up ccsm on ubuntu 12.10 [18:30] lionofgod, There is a #compiz channel as well if needed. [18:30] humbolt: Then you are out of options. Shoot the one who did not order the Advanced iLO license. [18:30] dr_willis: do you know where these settings for webapps would be stored [18:30] Its dead... [18:30] bekks: I have already downloaded a livecd, but the eval key does not work, so I am screwed. [18:31] I jsut want to know if anyone else has desktop cube plugin on their ccsm in 12.10 [18:31] bekks: do you have a working eval key_ [18:31] or, can I buy that online_ [18:31] humbolt: HP offers you working eval keys. [18:31] And you cant buy them online, they are eval keys. :) [18:31] humbolt: Call your local HP reseller, e.g., or call the HP hotline. [18:33] anyobody know what it means if a usb wifi dongle doesn't have a /dev/ ? [18:33] has anyone opened up ccsm in Ubuntu 12.10? [18:33] or at least I can't find it [18:34] 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. [18:35] jubei: Then you dont have a driver loaded that supports your device. [18:35] Hi. Upgraded to 12.10 and found out that my display on my netbook no longer works [18:35] It's good that it's possible to hotswap drives between computers with Ubuntu. [18:36] Is there a known workaround for this bug yet? [18:36] For whih bug? [18:36] IDWMaster, what bug? [18:36] It affects my system with a GMA 3600 graphics chip [18:36] 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] hello guys, i have problem how to install compiz on ubuntu 12.10 [18:36] :D [18:36] lionofgod, Can you not look? [18:36] The one that I just mentioned; it hasn't been reported yet though. [18:37] Not sure which package it should be in though [18:37] congiun, It's already installed, do you wnat the ccsm [18:37] want* [18:37] 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] Intel should get the middle finger from Linux Torvalds. [18:37] Maybe that would make Intel give us some better drivers [18:37] I would think that dropping cube and such from compiz would be pretty big [18:38] yes [18:38] Is there anyone using ccsm? [18:38] Anyways; it's a problem with the drivers (or in this case; lack thereof) provided by Intel [18:38] 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. [18:39] I see [18:39] Cube worked perfectly for me on precise [18:39] funny [18:39] I think it is fine but just got tired of it. [18:39] Upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and am experiencing problems just booting [18:40] Any other ubuntu channels? [18:40] It will boot into recovery mode but no X-server support [18:40] 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] lionofgod: #lubuntu or #kubuntu [18:41] Weird [18:41] asd1: ty [18:41] yw [18:43] ole [18:44] hello from denmark [18:44] hi i just installed 12.10 ubuntu alongside mint, after logging in i get a wallpaper and mouse but no icons or anything to click on , i tried right clicking but no joy [18:45] ole__ hello , do you have a Question ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:48] catalyst 12-8 doesn't support kernel 3.5 or xserver 1.13 [18:48] how should i install it [18:49] this is really hard for me to read [18:49] home, you type sudo apt-get install fglrx (assuming you have a RadeonHD 5000 or newer) [18:49] is there a terminal command to install desktop icons ?

Thanks [18:56] kroson, yes, it has multiple options. [18:56] ok i will try the live cd to report my issue [18:56] wilee-nilee: thanks xD [18:57] kroson, Has to be on a ubuntu setup though. [18:57] bekks: iLO advanced license, these HP guys are funny: "shipps in 1-2 weeks". Damn it, all I need in an email from you folks and you send me a damn hardcopy. [18:57] HP never ever again! [18:57] is there another source i can get ubuntu server 12.04 from.. like an additional mirror [18:58] the one on ubuntu's site is taking forever [18:58] 4 hours left on downloading [18:58] distrowatch sells ubuntu dvds [18:58] hey all -- I have a USB stick that contains 12.04 and I need to convert it to an ISO. I'm going to use dd, but first time around I got the entire USB stick size (16GB). Anyone know how I can tell it to just create the ISO based on the cdrom size? [18:58] i have a 105mbps down it should not take that long [18:58] wilee-nilee: i installed ubuntu gnome remix, that's a valid one right? [18:58] bout 10 dollars i think [18:58] johnjacobjingerh, Isn't there a torrent there still. [18:58] i dunno... [18:58] kroson, I believe so. [18:59] leifmadsen, the usb sticks dont work like that [18:59] once i have install grafic driver from "additional driver" in software source but after restart the unity crashed [18:59] once i have install grafic driver from "additional driver" in software source but after restart the unity crashed [19:00] once i have install grafic driver from "additional driver" in software source but after restart the unity crashed [19:00] johnjacobjingerh, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [19:00] wilee-nilee, thanks i actually just found that too [19:00] lol [19:00] thanks [19:00] cool [19:01] i'm going for that now [19:01] I accidentally did a kill -1 and so killed all running processes and of course was logged off. What I do not understand and need help fixing is that some permanent damage has been done and things will not start, I get messages such as: Failed to connect to configuration server' some possible causes are... - I suspect it has left some weird file but WHAT? [19:01] please help me to install the amd grafic driver in 12.10 [19:01] i'm hoping to get clipbucket to run on this server :-) [19:03] * johnjacobjingerh sighs [19:03] much better [19:03] torrent is getting 1.9mbps down now [19:03] hello [19:03] hello [19:03] j e l l o [19:04] thrasher194: please don't mess around, "hello" is how normal/polite people interact not "j e l l o" [19:04] bekks: I am not out of options, I can boot from PXE! [19:05] does anybody know, how I can boot a cd image over the network? [19:05] u need a pxe server [19:06] I'm trying to install 12.10 in a uefi machine, using a pre-partitioned hdd, however I'm unsure how to install the bootloader correctly, should it be installed to the whole drive or the efi system partition? [19:06] thrz, / needs its own partition. grub files will be placed in the gpt partition [19:06] is this ubuntu help ? [19:08] newb, yes [19:08] Hello agian,does anyone know if the defult chromium in the repos has webapp integration? [19:08] I chose the option to be installed in /dev/sda1 in the installer but somehow I get no grub files in there, and I also get a new fat32 partition created by the installer that seems to be empty [19:08] ty escott [19:09] Hello [19:09] Hi, does anyone know when linux-current-image in 12.04 will be updated to 12.10's kernel? [19:09] I'm testing new gnome-shell 3.6 on quantal [19:09] thrasher194: never [19:09] oops [19:09] Theodoros: never [19:09] ikonia: what? [19:09] Theodoros: it will not get updated [19:09] Theodoros: Keep the LTS .. in a while you'll have new kernels [19:09] 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] Yes it will [19:10] Theodoros: no, it won't [19:10] Theodoros: it will stay on the same base kernel [19:10] No [19:10] thrz, sda1 is probably the efi partition. so that doesn't sound correct [19:10] "yes" [19:10] That's linux-generic [19:10] 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] Theodoros: In the while, you're already able to download and install kernel 3.4 from ubuntu servers (mainline) [19:10] Theodoros: you may see something in back ports, but that's it [19:10] linux-current and hwe will get backports from future releases [19:10] I had a question reharding Ubuntu installation on a headless server over the network [19:10] Theodoros: there is no promise of back ports [19:11] asd1 I thought they were going to just use quantal's kernel, i.e. 3.5 [19:11] less so as it's an LTS release. [19:11] is there a terminal command to install desktop headers [19:11] icons ? [19:11] I found this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole but it appears to be for an older release of Ubuntu [19:11] Theodoros: well I think they will, but not now. Now you can install 3.4 ;) [19:11] asd1 3.4 is no good to me, I need 3.5 [19:11] well, prefer anyway [19:12] Theodoros: Well, you can install even 3.5, but not from official repos [19:12] 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] asd1: which is why I came here to ask if there was any known timeframe for them to update [19:12] wilee-nilee: does gnome shell use compiz? [19:12] kroson, I believe it uses mutter [19:13] 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] kroson: it does not use compiz [19:13] I was hopping that I wouldn't have to wait for 12.04.2 [19:13] It's really a pain [19:13] dr_willis: mutter is lighter? [19:13] kroson: no idea. doxent matter to me much ;) [19:13] asd1: With the linux-current and hwe packages that's no longer a concern [19:13] But I was just wondering when they were going to get around to doing it [19:13] dr_willis: you use unity? ;) [19:14] kroson: unity works well for me in 12.10 [19:14] 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] The 3.5 kernel is already in the testing ppa for precise so I can do that [19:14] 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] But I was just wonder what the official timeline is [19:14] 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] kroson: if i wanted 'light' i would use lubuntu [19:14] Theodoros: there is no official time line or promise of backports [19:14] ikonia: you keep saying that [19:14] ikonia: but you don't know what you're talking about [19:15] Theodoros: because you keep asking [19:15] Theodoros: please show me the official page that says "we promise to do backports and here is our time lines" [19:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling [19:15] 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] Theodoros: yeah, where is the promise of backport and timeline ? [19:16] Did you read the page? [19:16] thrz, it should NOT be asking you where the bootloader goes [19:16] dr_willis: you think it is better than xubuntu? [19:16] i have no sidebar or anything after installing and logging into ubuntu 12.10 ? please help [19:16] thrz, unless you have multiple disks with efi partitions [19:16] kroson: i dident care for xfce last i used it [19:16] 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] Uhm [19:16] Theodoros: I'd assume they try to do it within the timelines of the release they are back porting [19:16] what? [19:16] Yes [19:16] ok :) [19:16] So if they want to backport 12.10 kernel, 12.10 is out now [19:17] escott: I have just 1 HDD at the moment, I supposed the DVD doesnt count [19:17] 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] ? [19:17] Theodoros: not if there is a problem with it or a technical reason not to [19:17] Which begs the question, what is the schedule for the 12.10 kernel release to linux-current [19:17] all the pain again... sis671 craptop resolution in 12.10.. can anybody here point me a solution? [19:17] It's already in testing [19:17] Hello! [19:17] Theodoros there isn't an official one [19:17] Theodoros: that's the point, [19:17] johnjacobjingerh: from the cd? i dident think the cd contained many extra packages [19:17] Yes there is [19:17] is there a chat where i can get help with 12.10 ubuntu [19:17] Theodoros: where is the official schedule then ? [19:17] I have the ubuntu Quantal desktop - and i have installed skype [19:17] That's what I came here to ask [19:18] Theodoros: if you know there is a schedule, why are you asking what ti is ? [19:18] dr_willis, it has like DHCP server and LAMP i think [19:18] newb: you are in it. [19:18] Theodoros: there is no "we will give you $X $Y weeks after release" [19:18] i want to be able to put the skype launch icon onto that "bar" on the left [19:18] johnjacobjingerh: i doubt it will matter much. those wouldent be huge downloads [19:18] Theodoros: I'd assume as soon as technical possible, tested and safe [19:18] You sure like to change you rposition [19:18] willis can you help me to get a sidebar after installin 12.10 [19:18] how do i put the icon onto the bar? I tried right clicking but it didn't help [19:18] yea that was my thought [19:18] " there is no promise of any back ports" to "no official schedule" [19:18] wasnt sure if the repo packages were different than the cd tho [19:18] newb: and your video card is? [19:19] 12.10 sis671???? === Raccoon` is now known as Raccoon [19:20] i guess i'll have to keep googling [19:20] silly irc client crashed. ;) [19:21] newb: try installing the proper 3d drivers. if you know your card info [19:21] dr_willis, what client are you using? [19:21] 12.10 sis671???? [19:21] ty dr willis [19:21] brontosaurusrex: andchat on my cellphone through znc on my ubuntu box. ;) [19:21] hehe :) [19:21] having trouble with using kodak printer even though the driver is installed. [19:22] 12.10 sis671 craptop???? How can I set 1280x800??? [19:23] g00df00d: it's called a "laptop" [19:23] g00df00d: and with sis you are lucky you even get a display... [19:23] having trouble with using kodak printer even though the driver is installed. Any suggestions? [19:23] ikonia, even with sis chipset? [19:24] g00df00d: yes [19:24] yourfriendisaaac: what's the error? [19:25] dr_willis: yeah, i know it, i think that a i will rollback to Xubuntu 11.1o [19:25] celthunder: asks for mdns ipp ipp client and another driver running on the firewall. As far as I can tell I have everything [19:26] yourfriendisaaac: are you using cups? [19:26] celthiunder: Yes of course [19:26] hi. im using xfce+compiz. why is the config file stored under ~/.gconf? this is about gnome isnt it? thanks [19:27] Hi. I'm trying to get spotify for linux to run. I've downloaded and installed it but it won't load. The error message produced includes this: <" You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs: libc-bin, libc6, multiarch-support"> So how do I upgrade those packages and might it cause problems if I do? [19:27] yourfriendisaaac: then what's it say when you pick the drivers you installed in cups? [19:28] celthunder: FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall. [19:28] yourfriendisaaac: don't do the detection just tell it the printers ip [19:29] and it shouldn't need most of that.. [19:29] brightsparks: apt-get update;apt-get upgrade [19:32] Hi! I sould like to create users on my ubuntu server that only can access "some" folders. How to do that? [19:33] well u need to make sure permissions are set on your folders [19:33] 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] hi [19:33] Hello - who can help me - i have a couple of basic questions about the appearance of quantal... [19:33] Zw33t: chown/chmod ? [19:33] yeehi: Then just ask. [19:33] bekks - thanks [19:34] !permissions | Zw33t [19:34] 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] 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] celthunder: I dont want them to see folders above * [19:34] bekks - how do i easily move the "bar" on the left verticle to the bottom? [19:34] what is that bar called? [19:34] Zw33t, what is "*" [19:34] Chroot jail or something, heard about it? [19:34] above /home folder [19:34] yeehi: "panel". And there is no way I am aware of moving it. [19:34] etc, with chmod they can still se files, but not open [19:34] as far as i know [19:34] Zw33t: Thats wrong. [19:34] Zw33t: theres a difference between a chroot/jail and just locking them in one dir [19:34] users on the computer? [19:35] celthunder: ok Thanks v much [19:35] Zw33t, its impossible for them to do anything in /home without binaries and libc in /home [19:35] ok, thanks bekks - next q: how do I add an icon to the panel? [19:35] sorry I am not as good at this yet as you noticed, but tnx for help :-) [19:35] what i meen is, i need to have chmod 777 etc on many files [19:35] yeehi: create a .desktop file for it (I never needed to do so) [19:35] for example, bekks, i want to add the skype launcher icon to the panel [19:35] 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] 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] but i dont want users on the server to have access to see all folders and files [19:35] Zw33t: and chmod 777 should rarely if ever be used [19:36] i go to dash, type skype and there is a skype icon [19:36] i want to be able to "pin" that to the panel [19:36] Zw33t: when needing 777 on a bunch of files, your security concept is broken by design. [19:36] Most files on my server has 775 [19:36] or folders* [19:37] Zw33t: so what has 777? [19:37] sould i say? [19:37] so anyone can read it anyway... [19:37] Zw33t: Then you dont need to mess with permissions, as everyone can read every file. [19:37] yeehi: drag it to the panel [19:37] Zw33t: As I said: security concept broken by design. [19:37] so easy, dr_willis! Thanks - let me try that now [19:37] bekks: i dont want everyone to have access to all files :P [19:38] Zw33t: Then dont use 777 or 775. [19:38] man chmod ? [19:38] But if the files has a owner, does 775 makes it open for others? [19:38] Zw33t: No. [19:38] Zw33t: then get ride of the 775 and 777 [19:38] yeehi: some apps can confuse the unity launcher ive noticed [19:38] its 775 by default [19:38] Zw33t, go read up on chroot jails [19:38] why the amazon links to slayer albums gotta be busted >_> [19:38] Zw33t: try 770 for directories, 5 is read + execute which allows directory traversal [19:38] 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] Zw33t: No. [19:38] Zw33t: By DEFAULT, files are 644. [19:38] bbl [19:38] bekks: folders are 775 * [19:38] Zw33t: No. [19:38] Zw33t: By default, folders are 755. [19:39] hmm ok [19:39] il change to that then [19:39] dr_willis: what is that nice tweaks program that lets you customize your desktop / gui? [19:39] amazon links are win but they derp up a lot [19:39] yourfriendisaaac: just type in localhost:whateverportcupsison in your browser [19:39] but the think is, iff il do a "adduser bekks" you get a user, and a home folder [19:39] Zw33t: And 755/644 still allows everyone to read everything. [19:39] linuxtweaks or ubuntutweaks or something like that [19:39] but you can still access files above /home/bekks [19:39] like a lot of them do not work [19:40] Zw33t: Expected behaviour. [19:40] 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] 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 [19:41] Zw33t: Then first please get to know what 755 and 644 actually mean :) [19:41] 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] Zw33t: either chroot them or you're going to have to change your file permissions [19:41] Zw33t, a chroot jail is really hard to set up, hard to maintain, and hard to secure for anything more than trivial access === fernando is now known as Guest50802 [19:41] 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. [19:42] escott: chroots are easy to secure setup etc...same as any other system just without kernel security [19:42] toastcfh o/ [19:42] Bumble-Bee, ;o [19:42] <3 [19:42] :O [19:42] but i dont want them to see all files on the server [19:42] which you should have on your host anyway i'd assume [19:42] celthunder: Nope. Not if he doesnt even know what 775 implies. [19:42] whats a msdn subscription? [19:42] 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] apoplectic: an overpriced microsoft network service that gives you access to os's etc online [19:42] lightdm breaks when you have a strange gnome3 shell setup === fernando_ is now known as FernandiLujani [19:43] if anyone has a strange login issue [19:43] so change all folders to 750 ? [19:43] celthunder access to OS? [19:43] what do you mena [19:43] Zw33t, if you dont want a working system sure [19:43] :/ [19:43] Zw33t: No. Dont guess, please read the link you've been given about permissions. [19:43] so i rather stick with croot jail i guess [19:43] apoplectic: os iso's like windows 7 etc. [19:44] Zw33t: ... [19:44] hehe :P sorry bekks [19:44] ISO's as in cd images? celthunder [19:44] apoplectic: yeah there's some other stuff in there too but that's what most people use it for === brontosaurusrex_ is now known as brontosaurusrex [19:45] 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] Zw33t, but you haven't told us what you want to accomplish other than some ambiguous desire to "restrict access" [19:45] what is this when I go to websites and stuff it says something like "would you like to install facebook messenger for quicker access"? [19:46] 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] same for youtube and a few others [19:46] how do I install VirtualBox guest additions on Ubuntu 12.10? [19:46] @escott ;) [19:46] Zw33t, you are failing to understand a very basic conceptual thing about OSes... so you are missing the point of the question [19:46] coolstar: By pressing ctrl+d in the vm window, and following the instructions of the vbox manual. [19:47] bekks: already tried. installation fails [19:47] Zw33t: Please read the permissions link you've been given - it explains what permissions are. [19:47] coolstar: because...? [19:47] 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] bekks: unable to find Linux headers, and unknown X.org version [19:48] 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] bekks: I'm using the amd64 version of ubuntu [19:48] 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] what is this? [19:48] coolstar: And...? Whats the exact, detailed message you get when trying to install the guest additions? [19:48] abbey: what is what? [19:48] lol... i'm installing guest additions right now [19:48] that's funny [19:48] This [19:49] escott: primary FTP access, but alternative SFTP [19:49] conicidence i think not [19:49] celthunder, why would someone need the iso's exactly? [19:49] !irc > abbey [19:49] abbey, please see my private message [19:49] coolstar: u having issues installing guest additions [19:49] apoplectic: corporate offices, colleges, etc [19:49] i just did it myself for the same build [19:49] johnjacobjingerh: ubuntu 12.10 desktop amd64? [19:49] well server... but same steps [19:49] apoplectic: i don't have one but most colloges and major corporate business's do [19:49] 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] coolstar: You can also join #vbox [19:50] coolstar: what did you try so far? [19:50] Building the main Guest Additions module ..fail! [19:50] 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] coolstar: It tells you where the log file is - did you take a look into it? [19:50] Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers. [19:50] Zw33t, http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/ [19:50] escott: what about only ftp access to change easy files? [19:50] hello [19:50] coolstar: Which vbox version do you use? === marsha_ is now known as mdg2 [19:50] Zw33t: Nonsense. [19:50] anyone here use abiword and autokey? [19:51] Zw33t: more secure to use ssh/scp/sftp [19:51] bekks: 4.2.0 [19:51] coolstar, http://askubuntu.com/questions/204098/error-building-main-guest-additions-module-while-installing-virtualbox-guest-add [19:51] is this what you are getting? [19:51] coolstar: You have to use 4.2.2 at least. [19:51] 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] Zw33t, those instructions mention various compilation steps but you can skip them because you just apt-get install the server [19:52] escott: i'd say giving ssh access of any kind with writing would really let you do whatever you want. [19:52] escott: but then being totally secure totally makes actually doing anything impossible so :) [19:52] celthunder, thats why i said "or" [19:53] anyone here use abiword and autokey?

[19:58] !permissions | plustax [19:58] plustax: use sudo [19:58] 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] plustax: sorry I can't help [19:58] to connect internet i need to issue sudo modprobe b44 how can i make that happen automatically ... [19:59] so I just type sudo then the password and I will be root for gui maneuvers? [19:59] plustax, if they specify a directory in $HOME that doesn't exist then just create it [19:59] !gksudo | plustax [19:59] 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] 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 :)) [20:00] ciao o/ [20:00] lx [20:00] 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] know what I mean? [20:01] 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] escott, I guess I dont understand what you mean. Just tell me how to extract this 7z file into the themes folder [20:01] witch one sould i use escott? [20:01] plustax, to copy a file as root "sudo cp sourcefile destinationfile" [20:01] oh okay [20:01] What would be a good hostname for an allround ubuntu server ? [20:01] Eagleman: allubuntu? [20:01] Zw33t, the builtin capability (4.9 and up) [20:02] Zw33t, skip steps 1-6 [20:02] so is webmin no longer supported on ubuntu? [20:02] Eagleman: machineinthecelar ?

[20:04] cannot stat wrong directory [20:04] wtyf [20:04] johnjacobjingerh: webmin is pretty horrible anyway [20:04] Why is the desktop locked on gnome-fallback in 12.10? I can't add anything to it [20:04] gordonjcp, yea i agree, but i am familiar with it [20:04] are there alternatives that the ubuntu community recommends? [20:05] is Landscape kinda like webmin? [20:05] 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] johnjacobjingerh: not entirely [20:05] johnjacobjingerh: perhaps try #ubuntu-server [20:05] bekks: just checked for updates in virtualbox and it said I was on the latest [20:05] Whoever thought it would be a good idea to include those amazon results in a search... should be shot. [20:05] escott ok tnx :-) [20:06] Guess it's time to look into other distros [20:06] bekks: the log states it couldn't find the sources of my current Linux Kernel [20:06] coolstar: Then you did not check correctly. The latest version on the official website is 4.2.2 [20:06] anyone running 12.10 with braodcom iisues solved ????? [20:06] coolstar: Then install the headers for your current kernel. [20:06] good idea brontosaurusrex [20:06] sorry Broadcom wireless solved [20:06] coolstar: did you try my link [20:07] that explains how to do it there [20:07] yourfriendisaaac: kodac? Need to check open printing.org to see if they have support [20:07] johnjacobjingerh: ah, I just have to install virtualbox-guest-x11 [20:07] johnjacobjingerh: Thats wrong. His version does not support the version of the X server. So your link will NOT solve his problem. [20:07] coolstar: No. [20:07] All I want is to operate GUI in root. I dont want to use command line [20:07] anyone tell me the command to act as root in GUI?

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] escott: first line "Modify /usr/local/etc/sshd_config" [20:08] file does not exist [20:08] Zw33t, /etc [20:08] johnjacobjingerh, bekks: ok. I'm gonna install the linux headers and see if I can update virtualbox [20:09] plustax, i would discourage doing that but the gui filemanager is called "nautilus" [20:09] how u know such things :s [20:09] tnx! [20:09] johnjacobjingerh: Where did you install that guest additions package? In the guest or in the host? [20:10] johnjacobjingerh, bekks: linux-headers-3.5.0-17 is already installed... [20:10] mgd2: the driver is in the repository and installed on my pc [20:10] what's the right package for x64 ubuntu? [20:10] escott: so i guess its /etc/ssh/sshd [20:10] chmod has no effect at all, what's going wrong? chmod 777 file [20:10] 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] joe_thetree, are you the files owner?

[20:12] yourfriendisaaac: do you have permissions for lpadmin? [20:12] mgd2: nothing no errors.. send page to the printer but no response in term of actual printing [20:12] joe_thetree, you can change the mount options to specify a different owner group owner or default permissions set [20:13] yourfriendisaaac: check your group settings via terminal, i.e. type "groups" and post them [20:13] 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 [20:14] escott, it's my windows partition === scouts is now known as na\ === na\ is now known as na [20:14] eeeek... i'm so excited... i'm gonna try clipshare === na is now known as me [20:15] openssl is included by default in ubuntu?

[20:48] riqdiiz: Yes. Its a component of your compaq laptop.

[20:51] Alpha-Omega: did you add a boot background image or some such [20:51] yourfriendisaaac: basically you open your browser and in the address type "localhost" and it should bring up the cups webpage [20:52] yourfriendisaaac: from there you can add the printer [20:52] ActionParsnip no I just upgraded the system to 12.10 [20:52] http://localhost:631 for cups i thunk.

[21:21] escott: then usermod -s /bin/false username ? [21:21] is that the right use of it?

You logged into the host OS as a guest, installed Ubuntu onto the VM, then rebooted the VM?

[21:40] i am used with windows, first time with ubuntu [21:40] Zw33t, try 755 instead of 775 [21:40] and i think u are right [21:40] tried both :/ [21:40] Zw33t, sudo chmod 755 /home/usertest [21:40] Cosmin: run: sudo lshw -C network there will be a product line which tells you the chip [21:41] about the windows only cd [21:41] wilee-nilee: could you link me? Would it be able to support the isos I use (Win7 installer, WinVista installer, UBCD4Win, Hirens) [21:41] hi [21:41] k [21:41] 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] in my reflex is put cd and works [21:42] 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] anyone wanna pm [21:42] escott: yes i did that, but il get: Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? [21:42] if il try a wrong username and pw, il get access denied [21:42] but with right username and pw il get "Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? " [21:42] XliamX, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ I have W7, hirens and a couple of av and several ubuntu's and debian and several others using gthis one on a 16 gig staick [21:43] escott sed -n 's/.*CPUTIN[^\+]*.\([^\.]*\).*/\1/p' ??? [21:43] s/this/stick [21:43] anyone wanna pm me [21:43] no [21:43] escott: sould something be restarted after Modify /usr/local/etc/sshd_confi? [21:43] wilee-nilee: Won't be able to do this in windows will I? [21:44] 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, This one loads from linux [21:44] worked ;) [21:44] sabrina, i dont understand what you are asking [21:44] anyone wanna pm me [21:44] !ot | laughalot [21:44] laughalot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:44] ok i'm back, the error appears with all my cd's plus my USB [21:45] wilee-nilee: Yeah. That's what it looked like hah [21:45] 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] escott i want an app like this ubutu termometer cpu see in google but for lubuntu 12,04 [21:46] 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] sabrina, you want something to display the temperature? [21:46] i just upgaded from 11.04 to 12.04 and rebooted and the screen is blank and its not booting [21:46] escott: Ok, the folder i want to give testuser access to is owned my user "game" but how do i give "testuser" access and still allow "game" to read and write to the folder if the owner is root? [21:46] escott http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ [21:46] XliamX, I could not code at gun point, I just started on open source. [21:47] hey, anyone know how to fix xchat in gnome-panel ubuntu 12.10? The icon under the envelop launches a new instance each time when clicked instead of opening the currently opened one === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [21:47] escott i want shutdown the pc for temperature at 75 C [21:47] Zw33t, you can't but you can add the "game" user to the "testuser" group [21:48] escott for more safe for my pc [21:48] 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] where are system logs kept? [21:49] 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] 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] 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] XliamX, I would not really know from windows. [21:49] Zw33t, thats not true. you could have a folder in /home/testuser that is owned by the game group [21:50] 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] XliamX, I would install ubuntu but thats me, and use the multisystem, while learning ubuntu. [21:50] 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] wilee-nilee: i used this process http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/firawiniso [21:50] sabrina, http://code.rawlinson.us/2008/11/ubuntu-auto-shutdown-due-to-high-cpu.html [21:51] 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] v [21:51] ActionParsnip: I'm back, I have the same problem with all my CD's plus my USB [21:51] sabrina, these acpi thermal zones are all controlled by the hardware so i'm still unsure what you are needing [21:51] XliamX, Ah. [21:52] 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. [21:54] wilee-nilee: my work mostly consists of reinstalling windows OS's, drivers, diagnostics, [21:54] escott and why windows have an app like this for this action? http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ [21:54] 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] 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 [21:55] 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] wilee-nilee: but that's just when it comes to software... [21:56] escott: but the user do not have permission to change / create / upload a file in the dir.. [21:56] 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] escott ok ?? [21:56] 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 [21:58] escott when the CPU temperature over some value that you set i want to do this in lubuntu 12.04 [21:58] 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] Cosmin: could go for a clean install of 12.10 first [21:59] escott fancontrol app is for ubuntu 12.04 ? [21:59] is there a way to X - Y coordinates in a .sh [22:00] i mean .conf [22:00] for window placement [22:02] sabrina, maybe. its not something i've messed with. im not clear if you want the display functionality or the safe shutdown functionality === root is now known as Guest55493 [22:04] escott i want the safe shutdown functionality but in 75 C not in 100 C bios [22:05] For what is this being used? Please enter the following 'extra' attributes # to be sent with your certificate request [22:05] A challenge password [22:05] in openssl [22:05] sabrina, ok. i don't know an application that does this out of the box. but what you want is "a daemon to safely shutdown the system at a temperature below the acpi threshold" === mauro is now known as Guest34434 [22:06] escott yeah i want this option [22:07] for lubuntu 12.04 [22:08] help [22:08] need help with my acl888 hda intel thingy [22:08] it doesnt record on line in, just on mic [22:09] chimney: in the sound options, is the right sound device selected? [22:09] sabrina, so i would ask the channel or check google and see if anyone knows something that does that [22:09] ActionParsnip: I'm on debian [22:10] ActionParsnip: without gui [22:10] 17:56 < sabrina> escott CPU Thermometer will show CPUID, Frequency, Core Number and CPU current temperature. Program [22:10] sorry [22:10] ActionParsnip: the guys on #debian are quite ignorant [22:10] chimney: debian isn't supported here [22:11] ActionParsnip: but its the base of ubuntu ... [22:11] pleeeease [22:12] escott ok is rare than ubuntu 12.04 cant shutdownt it for option of temperature [22:12] ActionParsnip: that's like me, looking in a music store for some music gear and buying in another store :) [22:12] chimney: its still not supported here [22:13] ActionParsnip: lets think im on ubuntu [22:14] escott ok is rare than ubuntu 12.04 cant shutdown it by option of temperature [22:14] sabrina, i dont know [22:14] any recommendations for a minimal system monitor to monitor cpu and RAM [22:14] !debian | chimney [22:14] chimney: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related.

I was wondering how I could use a Linux box as a router. I need it to block certain IP/Domain Names, as well as log all traffic [22:22] It's running Ubuntu 12.04.1 currently [22:22] kermit: just making sure you didn't leapfrog (pun intended) the release between :) [22:22] cc11rocks: iptables, tcpdump [22:22] kermit: what video chip do you use?

[22:23] alien2050: thanks [22:23] hi [22:23] kermit: is the screen just black at boot? [22:23] I tried this guide: http://linuxeeepc.blogspot.it/2012/08/lubuntu-on-eeepc-1025c-with-correct.html it works for mplayer-vaapi but doesn't work for glxgears (still sucks > 100% cpu)... how can I solve? === Alpha is now known as Guest70082 [22:24] ActionParsnip: the first reboot, yes, now it sits at the grub menu [22:24] *More info : I have a router. I just need to pass all traffic through the box and back to the router, if that makes sense/is possible [22:24] kermit: how do you mean? Are the kernel seelctions just sitting there in front of you? [22:24] ActionParsnip: yes [22:25] kermit: if you hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root [22:25] I am pretty new to Ubuntu, but is there a way to make it run and consume less CPU, I am running it in a VM and it is running at 75% or higher consistently [22:25] Regretfulone: looks at what process is taking up the cpu === eryhp222 is now known as reyph222 [22:26] cc11rocks, its probably easier to put your computer between the other systems and the router or between the router and the WAN [22:26] cc11rocks, trying to make traffic take a detour WAN->router->linux->router->destination is going to be a pain and make things slower [22:27] escott Thank you...

[22:32] yeah thats it, i had to hit enter, y, enter.. i recal that issue before.. i must have reset the grub conf. [22:32] hi all [22:32] sabrina: I am a noob [22:32] sabrina: using a shell script it should be easy, as long as you have access to a program that will give you temperature [22:33] kermit: it doesn't matter if it resets the grub conf file [22:33] natsirt ok is there an expert in ubuntu here now? === raul is now known as Guest59886 [22:34] ask tge question. being a expert is not needed [22:36] dr_willis do you know shutdown the pc by temperature on demand using ubuntu 12.04 ? [22:36] when seeding torrents do you guys stop after a particular ratio? [22:37] clarify what you mean to do. sabrina [22:38] So I did a pretty noob thing, using webmin I deleted a user, and accidentally let it delete the folder of that user, whats the best option to recover, testdisk for some reason cannot recover that folder that was just deleted, it is unmounted and nothing was written to it after. [22:38] dr_willis i need the commands to control the shutdown automatic by temperature in lubuntu 12.04 [22:39] i am having trouble adding custom routing tables [22:39] i got no idea what you mean by shutdown automatic by temperature === random123 is now known as scooby [22:40] !undelete | HardDisk [22:40] HardDisk: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [22:40] sabrina, maybe watchdog is your goal > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/watchdog.8.html [22:40] dr_willis i want an app like this but for ubuntu 12.04 for the shutdown for temperature on demand http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ === scooby is now known as rephy222 [22:41] Wonkaewt :D [22:41] pohaa [22:41] depois ainda dizem q mIRC n tem mt gente [22:41] mIRC bomba [22:43] hmm [22:43] dr_willis i want this , CPU Thermometer will show CPUID, Frequency, Core Number and CPU current temperature.

[22:47] have you tried googling HardDisk [22:47] ActionParsnip, this was a test to see if it was possible to recover. [22:47] HardDisk: I see [22:47] HardDisk: foremost is pretty sweet, depends how big the partition is [22:47] Hi all. I'm looking for a music manager for Ubuntu that can sync playlists to my android device. Any recommendations? [22:48] non of the files in the folder are docs/images they are of other types. [22:48] HardDisk: foremost willrecover everyting, so file type is moot [22:48] erpo: try banshee and rhythmnbox [22:48] I'll test that [22:49] actually foremost doesnt recover everything [22:49] not by default. [22:49] 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] HardDisk: you need to give it some parameters [22:50] kermit: add the boot option: nomodeset [22:50] ActionParsnip: thats a kernel option, not a grub option [22:51] I am having some issues with python paths where install packages can't be loaded.

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. [23:07] 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] bestdnd: you can separate commands with ; [23:07] why would you recompile often? [23:08] bestdnd: Or you can use "command1 && command2", so if command1 fails command2 won't execute [23:08] ActionParsnip i must use comands of console for use watchdog? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/watchdog.8.html [23:08] quit [23:08] thanks. it's for small university assignments, until we start wising IDEs [23:08] * L3top is not reading the manpage for someone === Fike is now known as Guest24451 [23:10] sabrina: you can open the config file in gedit if you want [23:11] bestdnd: && ./binaryname [23:12] Actionparsnip and this software could be a risk for my kernel or ubuntu ? === gartral|Away is now known as gartral [23:13] sabrina, ? [23:14] sabrina: never used it, sorry [23:15] yacc yeah i dont know if this software is sure and must be difficult use it [23:15] sabrina: just set auto shutdown in the bios [23:16] it's easy and has no dependency on the OS [23:16] sabrina, watchdog? [23:16] you seem to be struggling with this from the OS, so do it from the BIOS [23:17] 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] yacc: http://linux.die.net/man/8/watchdog [23:17] ikonia ok but i cant know if work fine because this software cant give me info [23:18] 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] sabrina: I don't know what you mean - just set the auto shutdown temperature in the bios [23:18] sabrina: you've had about 10 different bits of how to do this in Ubuntu and don't seem to grasp [23:18] ikonia because hast a gui [23:18] sabrina: the BIOS should be quite clear and easy to set a shutdown temperatture === bfortified is now known as bfortifiedY [23:18] sabrina: the bios has a very simple gui [23:18] hasnt* [23:19] sabrina: it's menu, just type in the temperature you want it to shutdown on [23:19] sabrina: if that is a task that is too complex, you will struggle to use ubuntu, let alone set auto shutdown [23:19] if the pc us overheating that much... time to clean it.. and get better fans. ;-) [23:20] SnapSnap: Have you tried running burning the Boot-Repair.iso to a cd and running it? [23:21] ikonia: Well, well, AFAIK, BIOS define a shutdown temperature, but do not allow one to set it. [23:21] ikonia i only want set the auto shutdown for temperature at 75 C cpu [23:21] yacc: never seen one not have a temperature [23:21] sabrina: yes, I understand that, normally you can set that in a the bios [23:22] ikonia but with a notice in my bar of ubuntu [23:22] sabrina: that's not going to happen [23:22] ikonia ever [23:22] 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] yacc: I'm just bored of seeing the same question being asked 200 times by the same person [23:22] 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? [23:23] 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] is there embedded firewall in kubuntu? [23:23] cini: iptables === luis_inacioL_da_ is now known as chicognu [23:23] thank You [23:24] 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] !find pylab [23:24] File pylab found in epigrass, ipython, ipython-doc, ipython3, mayavi2, psychopy, python-matplotlib, python-matplotlib-doc, python-mvpa, python-mvpa-doc (and 7 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=pylab&mode=&suite=quantal&arch=any [23:24] ikonia im using psensor in lubuntu but psensor hasnt that option of shutdown for temperature on demand [23:24] Btw, what's Qingyun Cao? [23:24] sabrina: right, so why are you using it ? [23:24] SunMoonStar: I'd ask in #python too [23:25] Is Virtual Box the best/only way to quickly get VMs of various Linux distros up and running? [23:25] ActionParsnip: oh ok i will try. PS how do I stop the login/logout messages (i'm using pidgin) [23:25] ikonia im using psensor because can give me info and notice of my temperature cpu and alerts [23:25] stodge: many virtual options [23:25] ikonia: Any preferences or suggestions? [23:26] sabrina: but it can't do what you want....so what's the point of using it [23:26] Ideally I'd like to download a VM of another Linux distro without having to install the whole OS by hand [23:26] stodge: doing what you are suggesting is not something I'd recommend [23:27] ok [23:27] stodge: downloading an image will determain what virtual software you have to use [23:27] True [23:27] stodge: not all images work with all vm software [23:27] SunMoonStar: in the plugins menu, enable the join/part messages plugin [23:27] thank you [23:27] SnapSnap: Here's a Ubuntu Forums link with the Boot-Repair link in it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12217150&postcount=2 [23:28] ikonia if im using the pc and the funs faillure i can know with psensor if my computer has a problem with the temperature [23:28] And is there a way to stop the dash from appearing on all monitors? [23:29] Oops found it [23:29] sabrina: so if you have the solution what's the problem ?? why do you keep asking for help [23:29] SunMoonStar: gotta love pidgin :) [23:30] ikonia if im out and my pc is on turn psensor isnt usefulç [23:30] 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] sabrina: it doesn't do that - so if the tool you are using doesn't do that, why are you using it [23:31] 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] ikonia give me alternatives or similars solutions for my question or problem [23:32] sabrina: easy solution - set it in the bios [23:32] sabrina: job done - no problems, [23:33] and if the bios break and dont work fine for hardware [23:33] if the bios breaks.. you got bigger problems [23:33] sabrina: if the bios breaks, your machine is dead and it won't matter [23:33] sabrina: just set it in the bios and stop making it hard for yourself [23:35] ikonia and for software with ubuntu is impossible ? http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ [23:36] 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] or monitor the output of 'sensors' in a script. ;) === morpheus is now known as Guest36804 [23:38] can every app be edited via the /user/.config folder, or is it app specific [23:38] i want an app like this all easy like this http://ubuntu-cpu-thermometer.fyxm.net/ [23:38] sabrina: use the bios [23:40] CPU Thermometer 1.0 (Ubuntu Cpu Thermometer) Requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework <=-------- pretty sure this is fake. [23:40] looking for clues on how to fix video glitch preventing me from even seeing bios [23:41] phaedral: that would have NOTHING to do with ubuntu (or other OS) [23:41] how do i --fix-missing for a .deb [23:41] ikonia whith windows i can do this without use the bios [23:42] with* [23:42] sabrina: you're not using windows and you don't seem to be able to configure ubuntu with your current experience level [23:42] i find odd that site has ubuntu in that name/url when its a windows app... [23:42] WeThePeople: dpkg doesn't resolve dependencies [23:42] Is the a better channel for discussing how to configure the Unity application dock to give up the space it occupies when web browsing? [23:43] AndyOpie150: you can set teh left side launcher to auto hide if you wanted to. [23:43] L3top: First builtin monitor "quit", but was visible in display settings (ubuntu 12.04); that is, two monitors show, the builtin and the vga [23:43] hi [23:43] and, of course, no such problem back before I put *nix on it [23:43] Ubuntu 12.04 is better than 10.04? [23:43] drivers for ubuntu 12.10 [23:44] dr_willis for this reason the creator of this app must make a app like this for ubuntu for use his name [23:44] so, yeah, plausible *nix had something to do with, and anyway, I didn't say any such thing; just asked for clues [23:44] I tried that but it still took up the same space just went transparent on me. [23:44] ati [23:44] I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop the other day, but the screen would go black unless I used nomodeset. Because of that, I can't change my graphics settings. Is there a work around? [23:44] sabrina: that made no sence to me what so ever. [23:44] sabrina: contact the guy who wrote the app [23:44] sabrina: ask him to explain how to use it [23:45] sabrina: it's his app - no-one else here is using it [23:46] http://askubuntu.com/questions/191707/using-the-auto-hide-launcher AndyOpie150 [23:46] will a natty dependency work in Lucid? [23:47] just installed Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, the screen would go black unless I used nonmodeset. B/c of that, I can't change my graphics settings. Is there a work around? [23:47] WeThePeople: no [23:47] sabrina: https://launchpad.net/indicator-sensors https://launchpad.net/indicator-sysmonitor these both claim to work in unity... if you just want to monitor them. [23:47] Correction the space it used to occupy went transparent and the dock moved out to the right so when it would hide it would just move to the left under the newly configured transparent space. [23:49] l3top im using lubuntu 12.04 with this app could shutdown the pc by temperature in lubuntu? [23:50] boof: nomodeset should not affect the resolution settings etc... what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA [23:51] anyone know how to add just a plain xmpp account to the "accounts" interface? [23:51] L3top: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) [23:52] hey [23:52] Thanks for the link dr_willis [23:53] ah, jabber, it's just weird [23:53] >.> [23:53] AndyOpie150: i just tried it.. works here.. the intel-hide feature is no longer in Unity [23:53] ikonia CPUTIN: +32.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor doesnt work in lubuntu 12.04 any idea ? [23:53] i wonder what would happen if I virtualize an OS Within another Virtual Machine [23:53] johnjacobjingerh: seen people have nested emulators in vm's and so on and see how far they can nest them ;) [23:54] boof sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver see if that helps. === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan [23:54] boof: is this an ivy or sandy bridge CPU? [23:54] i doubt my machine could handle that [23:55] but then again i do have 6 VMs running right now without any noticeable slowdowns [23:55] but i'm prob pushing it [23:55] lol [23:55] !ot | johnjacobjingerh [23:55] johnjacobjingerh: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:55] l3top i have no idea what CPU [23:55] did i mention i was VMing ubuntu [23:55] see on topic [23:56] boof: sudo apt-get install cpuid once installed cpuid | grep Version | awk '{print $2}' [23:56] no johnjacobjingerh, that is not a support question or answer... it is chit chat... go to offtopic for that. [23:58] l3top: ok I did that, out put was 000206a7: [23:58] The Link you gave me just spelled that out as well. Oh Well. I was hoping for the Intel-hide so I could gain that space, but still see the dock the way Docky is set up. [23:58] sandy bridge then... I wouldn't expect to encounter much of a problem boof [23:59] is there a channel for mythbuntu? [23:59] johnjacobjingerh: used to be a #mythbuntu [23:59] am I the only one who experiences a lots of random graphical glitches since the update? [23:59] l3top what's annoying is that when I change the brightness display, it doesn't actually change at all [23:59] thanks dr_willis i guess i spelled it wrong [23:59] lol [23:59] boof: how are you changing it?
