| f00dMonsta | xrs1: dumb question... did you try another USB stick? lol | 00:01 |
| xrs1 | actually no i havent. never thought about that, these drives i baught brand new for the 12.10 release (my old ones needed replacement big time) | 00:02 |
| wols | puff: don't use alien. if you must, convert the rpm to tgz with it and install it | 00:02 |
| f00dMonsta | maybe it was a bad one | 00:02 |

| LinuxNewbie | Hello. I have a question that might seem simple but I'm still learning. How do I change the partition "type" or code of a partition that I've created? Like 06=Fat 16, 82=Linux Swap, BF=Solaris, etc... | 00:26 |
| escott | alexGla, there is no specification for what order those two events are to happen. ls could race bash in creating the file, or bash could race ls. | 00:26 |
| xrs1 | that shouldnt be an issue. secure boot not enabled yet. you can try turning that off, and make sure USB legacy support is enabled | 00:26 |
| xrs1 | @ avdorian | 00:27 |
| escott | LinuxNewbie, generally you would not do so. | 00:27 |
| LinuxNewbie | escott: But in this case I do. | 00:27 |

| maj | LinuxNewbie: you can use 'fdisk', select the partition you want to change & select 'T' | 00:27 |

| avdorian | xrs1: Turning off UEFI made a difference | 00:30 |
| avdorian | xrs1: now at least I get the graphical Ubuntu loading screen | 00:30 |
| escott | avdorian, is this an installed system or a livecd | 00:30 |
| avdorian | escott:it's the ISO I download from the ubuntu website and booted from it, I think it's called a livecd not sure | 00:31 |
| xrs1 | UEFI is the work of the devil | 00:31 |
| ms_daisy | thanks escott | 00:31 |
| escott | avdorian, yes we would call that a livecd. that should work on most efi systems, but a lot of the UEFI code out this is "immature" so its possible there could be some issues with your systems EFI implementation | 00:32 |
| avdorian | escott: K thx, BTW it's 12.04, maybe it's fixed by now | 00:33 |
| xrs1 | stick with 12.04.1, | 00:33 |
| escott | avdorian, the developers would probably be curious if you have issues getting the 12.10 livecd to boot. | 00:34 |
| avdorian | I always though the bios just loads the cs and the firmware doesn't do anything but boot | 00:34 |
| avdorian | escott: OK, I'll try and find time to test 12.10 on this laptop | 00:34 |
| avdorian | *the cd | 00:34 |
| avdorian | wait, firmware is not just BIOS, my bda | 00:35 |
| avdorian | *bad | 00:35 |
| escott | avdorian, if you have the time you might also check if the fedora livecd works... its new technology so it might help to know if fedora has a hack that makes your version of uefi work that ubuntu might be missing or vice versa | 00:36 |
| avdorian | escott: OK NP | 00:36 |
| avdorian | I still don't know if installation works though | 00:38 |

| PatrickDickey | blastedt: Ubuntu 12.10 or an older version? | 00:43 |

| PatrickDickey | blastedt: When you say it works briefly, does it crash at (or before) the login screen, or after you've logged in? | 00:44 |
| blastedt | After I've logged in. I can get ~15 seconds of normal usage before the freeze | 00:44 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone, do you have an ATI graphics card in it? | 00:44 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: I am not sure. I should be able to pull that info up in the terminal window though correct? | 00:45 |
| PatrickDickey | blastedt try logging in with Gnome Classic (or another shell). To do that, when you're at the login screen, click the little circle next to your name. | 00:45 |
| blastedt | Thanks, will report back. | 00:45 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: yes, with lspci It should say something like VGA: | 00:45 |
| escott | blastedt, since it is still working i would install openssh-server and ssh into the box. that way you can see if anything is mentioned in dmesg or appearing in top | 00:46 |

| avdorian | PatrickDickey:hmmm... In the installation I removed 900GB from the main windows partition and I have 900GB under unused | 00:50 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: you can install ubuntu-server and then add a desktop to it. | 00:50 |

| anhday | yes | 00:52 |
| PatrickDickey | avdorian: You need to create an actual partition (using the installer) on the unused one. Format it to ext4, and mount it to /. You also need to create a partiation called swap in the unused space too. | 00:52 |
| anhday | i have the module installed blastedt_ | 00:52 |

| PatrickDickey | avdorian: Click on the unused space, and if Add is available, click that. | 00:54 |

| avdorian | PatrickDickey: nothing is available, that's the weird part, maybe I'll just have to format everything | 00:55 |
| PatrickDickey | avdorian: That means that it can't do anything with the space. How did you shrink the partition? | 00:55 |

| Jordan_U | avdorian: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". | 00:56 |

| switchblade | is anybody else having trouble with a torchlght update? my U.M. won't let me install the updates. | 01:09 |
| Crshman | trism: I'm pretty sure the notifications were working just fine in 12.04....the messaging icon turned blue when I got an IM | 01:09 |
| escott | kielanmatt, if its optimus thats your only option. the graphics are routed through the intel chip in some funky ways so you cant just "turn on the nvidia" and pretend the intel doesnt exist | 01:09 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: You might try the steps on this page http://kaustav.codebinders.com/2011/10/install-dwa-125-wireless-driver-on-ubuntu-11-10.html I'm not making any guarantees though, as I don't have that card. | 01:09 |
| kielanmatt | escott: haha | 01:09 |
| kielanmatt | escott: fucking optimus | 01:09 |
| trism | Crshman: yes I understand this, the API changed in 12.10 | 01:10 |
| Jordan_U | avdorian: And you might want to create an extended partition and make all your Ubuntu partitions logical partitions. That will give you more freedom to create partitions in the future (you can create an unlimited number of logical partitions within an extended partition). | 01:10 |
| kielanmatt | escott: I bet the intel chipset bottlenecks the nvidia! My game is gonna suck on these machines | 01:10 |

| Crshman | trism: damn...thanks for the insight! | 01:10 |
| escott | kielanmatt, i would just stick with the ivy graphics. thats a good enough chipset for desktop usage and your battery life will be better | 01:10 |

| craigbass1976 | WeThePeople, eh? | 01:11 |
| blastedt | i put the nouveau.blacklist=1 in the edit commands menu, unindented, at the end, and it didn't end up working sadly | 01:11 |
| blastedt | escott: thanks | 01:11 |
| WeThePeople | craigbass1976, thanks nm-applet opens up network manager | 01:11 |

| escott | blastedt, and then drop it in anywhere on the line like: root=UUID=.... ro rootflags... | 01:11 |
| craigbass1976 | WeThePeople, so you're all set? Good. Now tell me why my Acer laptop reboots instead of shuts down... | 01:12 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: wow thanks for finding that! I am reading through it but out of curiosity and since I can't seem to find it, how to you run a cd to install through the terminal | 01:12 |
| WeThePeople | LOL | 01:12 |
| escott | blastedt, iirc thats the vmlinuz line | 01:12 |
| craigbass1976 | WeThePeople, that's a no I'm taking it... | 01:12 |
| blastedt | Escott: you do remember correctly. thanks | 01:12 |
| WeThePeople | have fun | 01:12 |
| avdorian | Jordan_u:Thank you! | 01:13 |
| === Don_rad is now known as Don_Rad | ||
| Jordan_U | avdorian: You're welcome. | 01:13 |
| WeThePeople | craigbass1976, ok, laptop reboots instead of shutsdown, explain this.. | 01:13 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: I'm not sure what you're asking. | 01:14 |
| blastedt | escott: I am somehow getting low FPS on an OS but at least it's running at the moment. Thanks again. | 01:14 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: okay, I have the CD to install the software for the wireless adapter in the CD-drive. How do I access the CD in the drive via the terminal | 01:15 |
| escott | craigbass1976, thats an ACPI table issue | 01:15 |
| blastedt | i'll have to try to find graphics drivers and see if they help | 01:15 |
| craigbass1976 | WeThePeople, that's pretty much it. I was just yanking your chain by the way -- if you're new I don't expect you to have th answer. | 01:15 |
| craigbass1976 | escott, Mkay... | 01:15 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: the CD won't do you any good. there is no actual driver on the CD for linux. So, you have to build it using the source code from the site. | 01:15 |
| WeThePeople | craigbass1976, yeah, i figured i laughed my @ss off | 01:16 |
| === petter_ is now known as Kyo | ||
| === Kyo is now known as Kyozhin | ||
| WeThePeople | its true | 01:16 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: ohh okay, well I will have to use my laptop then to download and then compile it on the desktop after i put it on a flash drive. I am assuming I can access the flash drive via the terminal | 01:16 |
| craigbass1976 | WeThePeople, but in a month, that's another story... | 01:17 |
| PatrickDickey | You should be able to. | 01:17 |
| Gin | Hello....I can't install ubuntu -_- | 01:17 |
| craigbass1976 | escott, I downloaded laptop-mode-tools, but wasn't sure what I should do once I had it installed and running. Is there a good walkthrough for this? | 01:18 |
| WeThePeople | gin, are you using a iso? | 01:18 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: You'll need to download a couple of things and install them as well. Build-essential is the first thing. You can download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/build-essential | 01:18 |
| WeThePeople | craigbass1976, new laptop?? | 01:18 |
| Gin | No, I installed it onto a usb with that program. | 01:18 |
| WeThePeople | unetbootin | 01:18 |
| escott | craigbass1976, since poweroff is working you might see if you can modify the shutdown scripts to use that instead. debugging i can't say much about. evidently the standard acpi call to powerdown the system is causing it to reboot, but poweroff knows the correct way to shutdown (there are a dozen ways to cause an x86 system to reboot or shutdown) | 01:19 |
| ziggyzero | Hi. I am unable to add a repository | 01:19 |
| ziggyzero | sudo add-apt-repository | 01:19 |
| ziggyzero | I get command not found | 01:19 |
| craigbass1976 | escott, poweroff only worked once. | 01:19 |
| ziggyzero | anybody know what package I need to install | 01:19 |
| bitool | welcome | 01:20 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: okay and it should just install if I move the files off a flash drive. I'm sorry I am new to ubuntu and using the terminal like this | 01:20 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: if you're logged into the computer via console, type the following into the console, and tell me whether they come up with anything (if you don't have them, it will say dpkg-query: no packages....) dpkg -l dpkg-dev dpkg -l gcc dpkg -l g++ dpkg -l libc6-dev dpkg -l make (each of those is on a separate line). | 01:20 |
| xangua | ziggyzero: what ubuntu version are you using¿ are you in a server¿ | 01:20 |
| bitool | francais | 01:20 |
| ziggyzero | yes. 12.10 | 01:20 |
| Dragonster82 | Anyone knows of a way to stop Ubuntu 12.10 from resetting my brightness level? | 01:20 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: I don't need a paste of the lines, just whether it found the packages. | 01:21 |
| Gin | I get unable to find a medium containing a live file system..... I don't think my computer can read usb's while it's starting up. I saw an instustion that said to open a bios page, but I can't see that with my screen/brokenlaptop setup. | 01:21 |
| escott | craigbass1976, you can try various acpi kernel params listed here http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 01:21 |
| ssfdre38 | im trying to upgrade my server from 12.04 to 12.10 but for some reason its not letting me upgrade, do you know how to get it to work and im doing do-release-upgrade | 01:21 |
| PatrickDickey | bitool, are you looking for help? | 01:21 |
| blastedt | The application Compiz has closed unexpectedly... it has to do with Ubuntu's window manager? | 01:21 |
| ziggyzero | xangua: yes 12.10 server edition | 01:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Gin, There is a out of the bios boot menu gotten to with a key press at powering on, try f12 yours may be different though. | 01:22 |
| blastedt | also, argh, Chromium BSU isn't a browser at all. | 01:23 |
| xangua | ziggyzero: you can try asking on #ubuntu-server , ubbotu mentions add-apt-repository is found on software-properties-common package, i am not sure about it | 01:23 |
| blastedt | Firefox isn't working either, I might just flush this idea of dualbooting, nothing is working... | 01:23 |
| Gin | <wilee-nilee>, yes, but I can't see that. The first thing it shows me is the windows login-screen. | 01:23 |
| trism | ssfdre38: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, set prompt=normal | 01:23 |
| escott | blastedt, the browser is chromium-browser | 01:23 |
| blastedt | thanks escott | 01:24 |
| ziggyzero | xangua: Mind I ask how you know that it's in that package (for future ref) | 01:24 |
| xangua | !find add-apt-repository | ziggyzero | 01:24 |
| ubottu | ziggyzero: File add-apt-repository found in software-properties-common | 01:24 |
| PatrickDickey | Gin what's the manufacturer and model of the computer? | 01:24 |
| Regretfulone | dpkg-dev not found, gcc not found, g++ not found, libc-dev not found PatrickDickey | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Gin, You have two choices, first changing the bios to read the usb first, or the menu I suggest. Not every computer use the same key for this second menu, but all have this option. | 01:25 |
| alecb | my sound on websites doesn't seem to be working. what should I do? is there a way to test to just play a local test file quickly? | 01:25 |
| avdorian | Thanx you anyone who helped, Ubuntu is up and running \o/ | 01:25 |
| escott | Regretfulone, install build-essential | 01:25 |
| Gin | <PatrickDickey>HP (Hewlett packard) G60 laptop and an old CRT samtron monitor. | 01:25 |
| alecb | (alsamixer says master volume is at 100) | 01:25 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: I hate to say that you're going to need to run a cable. You need those packages installed, so you can install build-essential. You need that, so you can compile the drivers for the wireless adapter. | 01:26 |
| PatrickDickey | Gin http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=3999411&prodTypeId=321957&objectID=c00364979 | 01:27 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: thanks for your help! I might be able to grab a cord form my work tomorrow or something. I might be able to move the actual CPU but its a lot of work to move everything down there | 01:27 |
| ssfdre38 | thanks trism | 01:27 |
| NongA_TongE | greetings, Is this the right room for ubuntu installer issues? | 01:27 |
| blastedt | Ubuntu is using about 80% of all four cores (2.4 ghz) with nothing open but terminal and process monitor, is that normal? | 01:28 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: Sorry I couldn't help you further. It's possible to install all of the packages manually, but it's much easier (and less insane) to let apt-get do the dirty work for you. After you install build-essential (it *should* install the other needed packages), then follow the steps on that first link I gave you (the installing wireless card on ubuntu one). | 01:28 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: okay well thank you! I appreciate it! | 01:29 |
| ziggyzero | xangua: thanks that worked a treat | 01:29 |
| xangua | good ;) | 01:29 |
| ziggyzero | xangua: appreciate the help | 01:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Gin, Try the esc key when you see that bios gui at powering on | 01:29 |
| xangua | really wan't sure | 01:29 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: no problem. I hope it all works out for you. | 01:29 |
| PatrickDickey | Gin, it's actually the F10 key (according to HP's support site). | 01:29 |
| nogoodatnix | ne1 no a good bandwidth monitor that does internet traffic NOT LAN and not IPTraf, i dont want a terminal | 01:30 |
| PatrickDickey | To get into BIOS, at least. | 01:30 |
| Gin | I SEE NOTHING.... The monitor doesn't turn on until after all of that | 01:30 |
| alecb | my sound on websites doesn't seem to be working. what should I do? is there a way to test to just play a local test file quickly? alsamixer says master is at 100 | 01:30 |
| NongA_TongE | @alecb - are you running pulseaudio? | 01:31 |
| blastedt | agh trying to install video drivers to make this maybe not painfully slow and it opened a .run in text editor | 01:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Gin, have you tried the esc key tapping it as soon as you hit the power on until the monitor turn on | 01:32 |
| Dragonster82 | Anyone knows of a way to stop Ubuntu 12.10 from resetting my brightness level? | 01:32 |
| PatrickDickey | Gin are you pressing the key as soon as you start the laptop? You might have to do it repeatedly. And, according to their site, it might be F2 or F6 also. | 01:32 |
| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: thanks! If it doesn't I only invested 25$ in it for some upgraded RAM so if nothing works no real harm done | 01:32 |

| === n00b is now known as Guest98664 | ||
| escott | Dragonster82, resetting when | 01:34 |
| PatrickDickey | Regretfulone: you might also be able to install those packages from the Live CD, but I'm not sure. You'll have to find out how to edit software sources to look for the CD, and then update them (sudo apt-get update) and then sudo apt-get install build-essential I've never done it, so I don't know for sure how well it will work. | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | blastedt, compiz has been known to crash, that said it is the window manager, if it has completely crashed you will not see the panel on the left. | 01:35 |
| Gin | ok....I managed to get non-backlit image onto the broken screen....I guess i'll use a flashlight to try an decipher what I have to do... | 01:35 |
| blastedt | wilee-nilee: it seems to reboot itself, that's the second time it's crashed | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | blastedt, Reboot meaning going to the login? | 01:35 |
| blastedt | wilee-nilee: flashes to wallpaper with no window manager on the left or windows, then flashes to back to where it was after a second, then opens a crash notifier | 01:36 |

| blastedt | wilee-nilee: what do you mean? | 01:37 |
| Guest98664 | what is the command to close unity? | 01:37 |
| xangua | Guest98664: clic in the power icon, select log out | 01:37 |
| escott | alexGla, ie what exactly is the command you are running to schedule this job | 01:37 |
| alexGla | escott, command 'at' allows to schedule a task for a particular time | 01:38 |
| wilee-nilee | blastedt, When it crashes and you end up with the crash notifier can you access the left panel, and is the panel at the top. Compiz will restrt itself is what I'm trying to see if has happened. | 01:38 |
| escott | alexGla, but exactly how are you using at | 01:38 |
| Guest98664 | xangua you mean the one in the upper right corner? | 01:38 |
| alexGla | escott, just for now i want to escho any message in a terminal window | 01:38 |

| craigbass1976 | escott, is there a way to just shut acpi off? I stuck something like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off apm power_off=1 quiet splash" in grub, but then it hung and made me hit the power button. | 01:40 |

| Dragonster82 | escott: When I restart my computer | 01:41 |

| Regretfulone | PatrickDickey: just remembered - - I borrowed a dvd drive from work cause my tower doesn't have one so that won't work I can't load the dvd | 01:41 |
| blastedt | wilee-nilee: i downloaded my graphics driver in an attempt to salvage my dual boot, but running the .run file opens Text-editor, how do I install this? terminal? | 01:41 |
| escott | Dragonster82, you can echo the appropriate value to /sys/class/power/...../backlight in /etc/rc.local | 01:41 |
| Guest98664 | PatrickDickey: zes that was my first try, but there is no log out there. | 01:42 |
| craigbass1976 | escott, I edited /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub I got different behavior, so I know it took, just still not the desired behavior. | 01:42 |

| blastedt | wilee-nilee: thanks anyways. ill continue asking aruond | 01:43 |
| alexGla | escott, yeah it executed touch command, thank you | 01:43 |
| craigbass1976 | escott, My favorite part is that there's such a LOOOOOOONG pause between shut down and reboot where I get my hopes up. :) | 01:43 |

| seednode | Because they don't respect your freedom. | 01:47 |
| jamescordrey | @guest98664 time to switch to windows?? lol | 01:47 |
| joosen | why you hate it? | 01:48 |
| escott | davidgilmour, if you are doing this recursively over multiple files in multiple folders see man find. in particular find -exec sed s/regex/pattern \; if you have an example line and want to verify its correctness feel free to ask, but you should read the man pages first | 01:48 |

| escott | trism, thanks, blastedt its software-properties-gtk now with the backend being ubuntu-drivers (if you need a text mode tool) | 02:02 |
| nerdsrus45 | Blastdt: i used third party installer and it seems to be working | 02:02 |
| blastedt | nerdsrus45: nice | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | NongA_TongE, Boot the install using nomodeset, hit f6 at the choice of try or install gui at startup, choose nomodeset and boot in and try the install again. Make sure you tick the download updates in the install gui. | 02:03 |
| blastedt | escott: so apt-get install software-properties-gtk? | 02:03 |
| blastedt | escott: thanks | 02:03 |
| === n0Ob is now known as NoobGuest | ||
| escott | Hganavak, provided you didnt call it ubuntu and removed all ubuntu references you would probably be ok. you would have to check the licenses of the software itself to see what it required. also an offtopic question | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | NongA_TongE,This option will have you running at 800x600, but lets see if it installs without blacking out. | 02:04 |
| NongA_TongE | wilee-nilee - already did that. a couple of times. it doesn't seem to make a difference if I have nomodeset on or not. | 02:04 |
| NongA_TongE | I've done this about 12 times today ) | 02:04 |
| nerdsrus45 | okay - i am wrong it failed damnit | 02:04 |
| NongA_TongE | :) | 02:04 |
| alecb | ok so I tried my sound out with aplay and vlc and neither produce any sound.... what should I do to try and fix the problem? | 02:05 |
| nerdsrus45 | how do i get to /var/log/jocky.log? | 02:05 |
| NongA_TongE | so it's still running from the last install. I just can't see anything on the screen. the last time i did it I got further than any time before. I was able to select my username and password. I just don't know how many other setup dialogues there are that I'm missing because I can't see. | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | NongA_TongE, Ah, well you could do a net install from the mini cd, it is a text install, or you might try adding the drivers from this PPA, I'm not sure if this requires a logout or reboot which makes it moot. http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ | 02:07 |

| wilee-nilee | NongA_TongE, Actually that ppa is not covering 12.10 as of now. | 02:08 |
| NongA_TongE | wilee-nilee - how do I check md5sum of the disk or ISO? | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | 02:09 |

| escott | pingUone, its trying to respect your wishes regarding configuration files. it diffs the default config against your config (which you deleted) notes that they dont match and defaults to yours which gives you an empty file | 03:13 |
| NaZZaX | so i did a cobbler install and i get download installer failed no kernel modules were found..... any ideas how to bypass this? | 03:13 |

| pingUone | blackshirt I already did that | 03:24 |

| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 03:28 |
| usr13_ | pingUone: It is usually better to just fix what you have. Re-installing is ok I guess but if you keep starting over, how do you make progress? | 03:28 |
| pingUone | still httpd.conf 0bytes wtf? | 03:29 |
| usr13_ | pingUone: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/httpd.html | 03:29 |
| escott | that factoid needs updating. johnnycupcake you can install gnome-panel and metacity. if you pick gnome-panel session at the login and have metacity as your WM that will be no effects | 03:29 |
| johnnycupcake | oh | 03:29 |
| johnnycupcake | annoying | 03:29 |
| johnnycupcake | i thought just switching to gnome-classic would do it | 03:29 |
| escott | blackshirt, why would a purge followed by reinstall not install the default config files? | 03:29 |
| escott | johnnycupcake, not if compiz is the WM. | 03:30 |
| johnnycupcake | oh | 03:30 |
| pingUone | usr13_ that doc mentions nothing about repopulating httpd.conf | 03:30 |
| usr13_ | pingUone: Yep, you are correct. | 03:31 |
| escott | pingUone, you can use the confmiss options to dpkg http://serverfault.com/questions/82801/linux-how-to-restore-config-file-using-apt-get-aptitude | 03:31 |
| johnnycupcake | sweet thanks escott again | 03:32 |

| * studio12 12.04.1 Installer: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." | 03:32 | |
| escott | pingUone, the reason you have to use dpkg --force-confmiss is because whenever your config files are gone, dpkg assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted. You can also reinstall them using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename> | 03:32 |
| escott | i would have thought a purge would make dpkg forget everything, but i guess not | 03:33 |
| nick_h | how does one tell GNU Screen to create or attach to a session named "foo", and source a screen config file, in a single command? | 03:33 |
| escott | studio12, means it probably won't boot when you reboot. you will have to boot the livecd and try to manually instlal the bootloader | 03:33 |
| escott | !grub | studio12 | 03:33 |
| ubottu | studio12: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| ardchoille | escott: it used to but I guess that has changed | 03:34 |
| nick_h | i thought that "screen -d -RR -S foo -X source sl_screen.conf" would work, but it fails with "No screen session found." | 03:34 |
| escott | nick_h, does "foo" exist? | 03:34 |
| nick_h | escott: if it does, i want to attach to it. if it doesn't, i want to create it. all in one command | 03:34 |
| escott | nick_h, i suspect you need to check if it exists first | 03:35 |
| nick_h | escott: "screen -d -RR -S foo" does what i want...except if you give it the -X option | 03:36 |
| escott | nick_h, not enough of a screen expert to say | 03:38 |

| NaZZaX | whats wrong with it ? | 03:49 |
| robertzaccour | escott, I'm asking because guvcview is set on 30 fps and it records at 20 fps at the very most. According to logitech its supposed to record at 30 fps, but maybe thats if its used in windows and official logitech software? | 03:49 |
| escott | robertzaccour, it depends on what is limiting it. could be bandwith on the USB bus. could be that the CPU is maxed out, could be that the bus to central memory is maxed out, could be you can't get it off to disk fast enough. | 03:51 |
| pingUone | escott do you know the apache package to use for dpkg? | 03:51 |
| escott | robertzaccour, when you try to record and look at top what does it say | 03:51 |

You can also reinstall them using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename> | 04:11 |

| [JJ]Albert | But I'm just unlucky, naturally. | 06:11 |
| [JJ]Albert | As for time, depends. | 06:11 |
| [JJ]Albert | It download for me in about... 2 hours. | 06:12 |
| [JJ]Albert | That was a little bit ago, today. | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe also restart albert | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | alsa | 06:12 |
| [JJ]Albert | restart alsa, you say. | 06:12 |
| [JJ]Albert | Because I've reinstalled it 3 times, and restarted the same number of times. | 06:12 |
| [JJ]Albert | But you mean restart alsa itself. | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | u sure u got correct drivers? | 06:13 |
| silare | How do I change the menu bar font size for Unity? IT's too small for me to read... | 06:13 |
| [JJ]Albert | What should I put in for it to tell me what drivers are installed, even? | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | check logs if sound module loads correctly | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | or doublecheck additional drivers | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | or check synaptic for 'realtek' modules | 06:14 |

| pranav | how to show the menu bar in application's on unity | 06:19 |

| [JJ]Albert | Lol, cus its intel. :p | 06:22 |
| grendal_prime | Intel HD Graphics 4000 | 06:23 |
| [JJ]Albert | Again, intel graphics suck. | 06:23 |
| [JJ]Albert | I know from experience. :p | 06:23 |
| grendal_prime | ya thats what i thought as well..but the word was this one was great | 06:23 |
| [JJ]Albert | Still sucks in relation to ATI and Nvidia. | 06:24 |
| grendal_prime | system76 just does ubuntu laptops | 06:24 |
| [JJ]Albert | Ugh, yeh, foul mood here over ALSA... : | 06:24 |

| grendal_prime | this blows everything on this machine works great..accpet for the video | 06:26 |
| Calinou | laptops with some linux distro preinstalled? | 06:26 |
| Calinou | congrats, you've been scammed.(R) | 06:26 |
| [JJ]Albert | ^ | 06:26 |
| [JJ]Albert | Real men build their computers. | 06:26 |
| grendal_prime | its not BAD i guess..is not like i play video games..everything seems fine..untell i try and play zero balistics | 06:27 |
| [JJ]Albert | Real men with massive disposable incomes make laptops, somehow. :' | 06:27 |
| grendal_prime | the dell machine i got with ubuntu preinstalled was great | 06:27 |
| grendal_prime | nvidia card in it | 06:27 |
| grendal_prime | screamed..still does..but they asked me if i wanted something new..got an i7. with 4 gigs | 06:28 |
| grendal_prime | runs a shitload of vm's on it wich i need | 06:28 |
| [JJ]Albert | Grendal, your name is so... So not something I can put words to. Oher than I'm imagining a giant monster sitting infront of a tiny, cheap laptop. | 06:28 |
| grendal_prime | but it would be nice if it would..well at least try and run a game. | 06:29 |
| grendal_prime | ? | 06:29 |
| [JJ]Albert | You could probably play Quake. :3 | 06:29 |
| grendal_prime | maybe | 06:29 |
| [JJ]Albert | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grendel | 06:29 |
| grendal_prime | my kid likes zero balistics though | 06:29 |
| [JJ]Albert | Well curses man, tell the kid no. | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | i got the name from fencing | 06:30 |
| [JJ]Albert | It's your, ahem, probably overpriced laptop. | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | in college. | 06:30 |
| [JJ]Albert | Hmm | 06:30 |
| [JJ]Albert | I dunno how fencing goes. | 06:30 |
| [JJ]Albert | :p | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | i7 for 600 bucks? | 06:30 |
| Calinou | <[JJ]Albert> Real men build their computers. | 06:30 |
| Calinou | it's more expensive than buying a computer with windows | 06:30 |
| Calinou | no discounts | 06:30 |
| [JJ]Albert | Real men make deals with the devil. | 06:31 |
| Calinou | no u | 06:31 |
| [JJ]Albert | Or, they keep old cases around. :p | 06:31 |
| grendal_prime | i didnt pay for it the company did | 06:31 |
| grendal_prime | and like i say it does everything i need for them. | 06:31 |
| [JJ]Albert | I actually built my rig for a good price. AMD, sure, but good specs for less than 200. | 06:31 |
| [JJ]Albert | It's half-way done though. :p | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | would just be cool if i could use it for a game every now and again. | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | 200 bucks for a laptop that i can demo 12 vms on? | 06:32 |
| [JJ]Albert | Y'know all, I'm now too tired to wanna figure out the sound issue. | 06:32 |
| grendal_prime | i doubt it | 06:32 |
| [JJ]Albert | I'll prolly just get to it tomorrow. | 06:33 |
| tripelb | [JJ]Albert: what laptop? what weight? I need light. | 06:35 |
| [JJ]Albert | Meh? | 06:35 |
| tripelb | great price. | 06:36 |
| [JJ]Albert | Uh... What? | 06:36 |
| tripelb | right. your $200 one | 06:36 |
| [JJ]Albert | I, uh, don't have a 200 dollar laptop. | 06:38 |
| [JJ]Albert | What I did was frankenstein a new machine with a new Mobo and CPU, and new ram and dvd drive. | 06:38 |
| [JJ]Albert | But everything else is handmedown parts. | 06:38 |
| [JJ]Albert | And it all came out around 200. | 06:39 |
| grendal_prime | tripelb, i have an acer 255d i think i is in my bag, i paid 250 bucks for it..it has an acutal quad (multithreaded) atom in it | 06:39 |
| grendal_prime | its a great machine and small. | 06:39 |
| tripelb | how light. please | 06:39 |
| [JJ]Albert | Also, sound is not working for me still. Haven't done anything since the pitiful help I got several, like 10-15 minutes ago. | 06:40 |

| grendal_prime | runs ubuntu 12.04 great | 06:40 |
| [JJ]Albert | As I can tell, stuff is getting annoyingly crazy here. Too crazy for my sleep-depraved brain to handle. | 06:40 |
| grendal_prime | its a aspire one. | 06:40 |
| Egbert9e9 | it's 12.04 | 06:40 |

| Calinou | djlynux: nope. | 06:47 |
| grendal_prime | they are on ebay now for about 200 bucks | 06:48 |
| grendal_prime | great machines..only problem i have with them is sometimes the suspend will fail, but i think that has something to do with what program im running | 06:48 |
| grendal_prime | i throw them in my bags and then run themselves down because they dont suspend | 06:49 |
| Rosi | hi there | 06:49 |
| grendal_prime | they will run for 3 hours though | 06:49 |

| arunkumar413 | hi, sound problem in ubuntu 12.10 | 06:58 |
| arunkumar413 | the out put sound device is dummy output | 06:58 |
| arunkumar413 | please hlep | 06:58 |
| Calinou | grendal_prime: suspending is pointless | 06:59 |
| Calinou | takes more time than a reboot | 06:59 |
| grendal_prime | ? | 06:59 |
| grendal_prime | no..i dont think you get the point | 06:59 |
| grendal_prime | on that machine its small..you open..get addresses..check on your virtual project..from wifi..its fast..2 seconds max..your up and working.. | 07:00 |
| Calinou | you know you can save the list of oppened apps? | 07:00 |
| grendal_prime | no dude you dont understand..its a lunchtime..on the road checking tool. | 07:01 |
| grendal_prime | like a phone but usefull | 07:01 |
| grendal_prime | i run my gmail account throught it...make calls...calendering, check on my kids homeschool progress.. | 07:02 |

| arunkumar413 | hi friends, my system has a sound problem. it's not detecting my sound card. the device shows dummy output. please help | 07:02 |
| tripelb | I love the instant wake withe all open and ready | 07:02 |
| grendal_prime | unless im listening to music..then it does not want to suspend. its an app setting i think | 07:02 |
| grendal_prime | ya tripelb its the most functioal computer i have ever owned.. | 07:03 |
| grendal_prime | i had a dell mini and it worked well but this thing has 4 times the horsepower. | 07:03 |
| Calinou | arunkumar413: make sure speakers/headphones are correctly plugged in | 07:03 |
| grendal_prime | and i have built presentations on it in a pinch. | 07:03 |
| Calinou | and try to reboot | 07:03 |
| arunkumar413 | yes | 07:04 |
| tripelb | arunkumar413: this channel needs you to explain all in one line. not an intro. include your system description too | 07:04 |
| arunkumar413 | Calinou, i'm using the internal speakers of my notebook | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | it fits in my large coat pocket as well | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | and has an external vga ..(like what doesnt right?) but this one is actually usable | 07:04 |
| arunkumar413 | tripelb, my system has a centrino processor, 4gb ram, nvidia geforce graphic card | 07:04 |
| grendal_prime | and a huge penis | 07:05 |
| guest-I6yKV1 | HOW can I UNLOCK MY ADMIN ACCOUNT? | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | oops | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | sorry | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | i just thought that was comming next | 07:05 |
| tripelb | cool grendal_prime just that is 2 yrs old. is it faster than nexus 7 | 07:05 |
| penguinhead | is it possible to use a usb storage device as a swap, in case one runs out of swap for instance? | 07:05 |
| aeon-ltd | penguinhead: i wouldn't | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | not sure..but its cheep and like i say it has an actual keyboard wich i have to have. | 07:06 |
| tripelb | !ask arunkumar413 | 07:06 |
| aeon-ltd | penguinhead: usb is too slow | 07:06 |
| penguinhead | aeon: wouldn't , but could? | 07:06 |
| grendal_prime | anyway im not selling mine. im just saying | 07:06 |
| tripelb | I goofed but how | 07:06 |
| prodnix | guest-I6yKV1: sudo passwd | 07:06 |
| prodnix | guest-I6yKV1: su root | 07:07 |
| aeon-ltd | penguinhead: yes it can | 07:07 |
| tripelb | grendal_prime: you have opened my eyes. and I didn't mean Yours I meant theDesign is old. chips. 2 years long in the field. ipad1 | 07:08 |
| tripelb | was back then | 07:08 |
| grendal_prime | ya good point. Just saying they may be really cheep now and mine still keeps up quite well. | 07:09 |
| grendal_prime | wifi always works. | 07:09 |
| arunkumar413 | tripelb, ?? | 07:10 |
| tripelb | aeon-ltd: I am planning on running Ubuntu off a USB. really that much slower? | 07:10 |
| grendal_prime | i have heard that the power plug is one that can be troublesome..(it can fatigue over time and come loose from the board) but ive not experienced this. Something to look at if getting one though | 07:10 |
| penguinhead | thanks aeon! realistically speaking, however does one need a swap if one has so much RAM? | 07:11 |
| cweagans | aeon-ltd: what do you mean usb is too slow? Windows Vista's big thing was ReadyBoost, which basically used a USB stick as swap. | 07:11 |
| grendal_prime | thats the only problem i have heard about them though | 07:11 |
| cweagans | right? | 07:11 |
| aeon-ltd | cweagans: yeah and it sucked | 07:11 |
| cweagans | aeon-ltd: it was great for already-slow machines that couldn't be upgraded any further. | 07:11 |
| aeon-ltd | tripelb: when you run ubuntu on usb it will be partially loaded into ram | 07:11 |
| cweagans | aeon-ltd: and I could totally see it being useful for super low ram embedded systems or something | 07:11 |
| penguinhead | yes, tripelb, it is slow to run off a usb - i would rather run #! off a usb if you need to do something productive, and quick | 07:12 |
| aeon-ltd | cweagans: as a last resort yes, but you could reduce ram usage as much as possible first | 07:13 |
| cweagans | fair enough | 07:13 |
| Ascavasaion | Is it worth upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10? And how large is the upgrade? | 07:13 |
| tripelb | question: how come win 98 will do internet with 90M RAM ad Ubuntu -or any Linux- won't | 07:13 |
| pipe_ | hello, i need help. can i write my problem? | 07:14 |
| hallofick | yes | 07:14 |
| cweagans | tripelb: boot damn small linux and tell me it won't. | 07:14 |
| Ascavasaion | Because win98 runs on a 1998 machine :) | 07:14 |

| guest-I6yKV1 | =\ | 07:15 |
| tripelb | cweagans: I will remember you. I have a friend who has that. I asked for months and gave IP | 07:15 |
| hallofick | en que necesitas ayuda pipe_ | 07:15 |
| prodnix | guest-I6yKV1: Tip, dont forget your password | 07:15 |
| hallofick | yo puedo ayudarte tal vez | 07:15 |
| guest-I6yKV1 | any help plz | 07:16 |
| cweagans | prodnix++ | 07:16 |
| tripelb | aeon-ltd: I wastold no. which is do you use? | 07:16 |
| aeon-ltd | tripelb: arch | 07:16 |
| cweagans | guest-I6yKV1: boot into recovery, sudo passwd youruser, choose new password. Done. Or you could RTFM: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 07:17 |
| aeon-ltd | tripelb: with dwm or openbox, it gets to <40mb easily | 07:17 |
| pipe_ | hallofick tengo un netbook hp dm1-4130ss con ubuntu 12.04 and w7 dual boot. La webcam Truevision HD funciona en w7 pero en ubuntu no, en la instalación de ubuntu si llegó a funcionar pero después nunca más ha vuelto. | 07:17 |
| tripelb | Ascavasaion OK will do | 07:17 |
| pipe_ | I have a netbook hp dm1-4130ss with Ubuntu 12.04 and w7 dual boot. The TrueVision HD webcam w7 works in ubuntu but not in the installation of ubuntu if you came to work but then never came back. | 07:17 |
| tripelb | guest-I6yKV1: 1 st CAPS are considered rude. Like screaming. | 07:18 |
| prodnix | cweagans: Does that work for root too? | 07:18 |
| guest-I6yKV1 | sorry | 07:18 |
| cweagans | prodnix: probably. The link explains it all with screenshots though. | 07:18 |

| penguinhead | it does. in fact it's that easy to hack into an ubuntu installation - go into recovery and change the root password | 07:19 |
| prodnix | cweagans: That kinda sux, so if someone has physical access to your machine they can hijack it? | 07:19 |
| cweagans | prodnix: well yeah. That's true of just about any machine ever. | 07:19 |
| cweagans | prodnix: bios password ftw, though. | 07:20 |
| Calinou | penguinhead: ANY distro actually | 07:20 |
| Calinou | and ANY os | 07:20 |

| chaotix | HI... after a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04, wifi is not recognised at all... i have ethernet plugged in for now so i can hopefully fix this with all of your help. after clicking additional drivers, it said no prop drivers in use... so i googled some stuff, and i went into synaptic and i installed bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter, still nothing showing up... wireless is enabled in the nm-applet | 07:20 |
| chaotix | please help if u can | 07:20 |
| cweagans | chaotix: what kind of network card do you have? | 07:20 |
| aeon-ltd | cweagans: removing the cmos battery will remove the password | 07:21 |
| chaotix | broadcom b43 | 07:21 |
| aeon-ltd | cweagans: of you could just use the jumpers | 07:21 |
| aeon-ltd | *or | 07:21 |
| Basil1x | :( | 07:21 |
| chaotix | i forget the command that you can enter into the terminal that tells you thats what you have, but i did that an hour ago | 07:21 |
| chaotix | forgot the cmd is called though | 07:21 |
| cweagans | aeon-ltd: oh, well yeah. There's always a way around it. But setting a bios password and a locking computer case will fix 95% of the threat | 07:21 |
| aeon-ltd | uname -a ? | 07:21 |
| cweagans | chaotix: lspci | 07:22 |

| tripelb | guest-I6yKV1: sorry damnautocorrect. use the Audi. oh your password. I know what to do | 07:22 |

| cweagans | chaotix: please pastebin. I'll take a look. | 07:23 |

| penguinhead | quite, but it can copy them and if they're your files its the easiest data recovery solution? | 07:25 |
| tripelb | like what/howyou edit and which command. it is just passing something on the end of the command | 07:25 |
| chaotix | cweagans, http://pastebin.com/2LB1jzJu | 07:26 |
| pipe_ | i am going to reboot, now back | 07:27 |
| chaotix | thanks in advance :) i appreciate your taking the effort | 07:27 |
| cweagans | chaotix: out of curiosity, have you considered an upgrade to 12.10? | 07:29 |
| chaotix | cweagans, sure | 07:30 |
| chaotix | ill give it a go | 07:30 |
| chaotix | should i just apt-get dist-upgrade? its a fresh install | 07:30 |
| chaotix | this prob would have been so much wasier for me in the old gnome lol | 07:31 |
| penguinhead | whois %s batrick | 07:31 |
| cweagans | chaotix: that might solve it - no promises. But when I was messing with my broadcom card a year or two ago, a dist-upgrade fixed it in like 15 minutes. | 07:31 |
| chaotix | im not as used to xfce | 07:31 |
| cweagans | chaotix: yeah | 07:31 |
| cweagans | I hear ya :) | 07:31 |
| chaotix | on another subject, is there a way to make the desktop shortcuts act like a hyperlink style one click open? it would be good for what i am setting up | 07:32 |
| chaotix | in xubuntu | 07:32 |
| penguinhead | chaotix: are you setting up a windows 8 like tiling interface? | 07:33 |
| chaotix | never seen it so i am not sure | 07:33 |
| chaotix | maybe | 07:34 |
| chaotix | the icons are really big | 07:34 |
| chaotix | and my xfce panel is about 50 pixels | 07:34 |
| penguinhead | unity interface? | 07:34 |
| chaotix | im using an old pos computer as an htpc on my tv | 07:34 |
| chaotix | maybe that would be better | 07:34 |
| chaotix | im open to suggestions | 07:35 |
| chaotix | i think gnome 3 might be nice on here too | 07:35 |
| penguinhead | http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/image.png | 07:35 |
| chaotix | the reason im not doing it on this particular pc is that its a turtle | 07:35 |
| penguinhead | hence xfce? | 07:36 |
| chaotix | right | 07:36 |
| chaotix | lubuntu was kind of buggy | 07:36 |
| chaotix | otherwise i like it | 07:36 |
| chaotix | maybe its just my computer | 07:36 |
| penguinhead | why not openbox? | 07:36 |
| chaotix | maybe | 07:36 |
| chaotix | with a dock | 07:36 |
| chaotix | oh i dont want it to look like win 8 | 07:37 |
| penguinhead | could work | 07:37 |

| CreepDeck | Hi | 07:40 |
| c0rnel | a friend of mine has found it''s language (system wide) was change. the version is 12.04 | 07:40 |
| c0rnel | how can the system be reverted back to english system-wide? | 07:41 |
| chaotix | cweagans, thats weird, dist-upgrade did nothing | 07:44 |
| zork__ | chaotix, you might try madbox if you'd rather stick with an ubuntu base; openbox, lxpanel, nitrogen, not much else. I'm using 12.04. #! is based on debian squeeze or wheezy. | 07:44 |
| chaotix | is there another way i can upgrade to 12.10 from within xubuntu? | 07:44 |
| chaotix | thx, zork__ | 07:45 |
| bekks | chaotix: do-release-upgrade | 07:45 |
| zork__ | chaotix, There's a setting somewhere in the Unity upgrade manager. | 07:45 |
| bekks | chaotix: Create a backup beforehand, and run do-release-upgrade | 07:45 |
| chaotix | bekks, so "sudo do-release-upgrade" ? | 07:45 |
| Calinou | yes | 07:45 |
| mote | Doing a translation and got a question: "This will install an obsolete bootloader", does it mean "outdated" or "unnecessary" bootloader? | 07:45 |
| Ascavasaion | chaotic: do-release-upgrade | 07:45 |
| chaotix | its a fresh install so no need to backup | 07:45 |
| chaotix | :) | 07:45 |
| bekks | chaotix: After creating a backup. | 07:45 |
| bekks | chaotix: Then why dont you just fresh install a 12.10? | 07:46 |
| zork__ | chaotix, I agree w/ bekks, esp. if your mobo will boot from usb (mine doesn't, alas) | 07:46 |
| chaotix | ohhhh... i bet its not upgrading because .04 is a lts, and 12.10 is not... how would i disable that feature in xubuntu | 07:47 |
| auronandace | mote: essentially outdated | 07:47 |
| bekks | USB booting is not needed for that - he installed 12.04 somehow :) | 07:47 |
| chaotix | can i do that from the terminal> | 07:47 |
| bekks | chaotix: Yes, using do-release-upgrade | 07:47 |
| mote | auronandace: Thanks | 07:48 |
| zork__ | that's what it sounds like, "sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade" | 07:48 |

| chaotix | found it on the man page bekks | 07:50 |
| chaotix | do-release-upgrade -d | 07:50 |
| chaotix | NilBud, isnt update-manager a gnome program? or that wont matter on xfce?? im rinning a really slow computer.. i cant afford a bunch of dependencies | 07:51 |
| chaotix | i couldnt even put koloutpaint4, onde of my favs, a kde app, on here without sloweing it up | 07:51 |
| chaotix | would update-manager be ok? | 07:52 |
| NilBud | From what I read here - http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-from-ubuntu-10-04-via-the-terminal/ - It says terminal only. | 07:52 |

| bekks | penguinhead: Useless after not powering off the system immediately. | 07:59 |
| bekks | Most likely the inodes were overwritten meanwhile. | 07:59 |
| bekks | kurohyou: The only chance you have is to run a program like photorec, or something like that from a livecd. | 08:00 |
| kurohyou | bekks: my root drive is a seperate one, can't i ssh into my system and do it like that? | 08:01 |

| blackshirt | good luck vchi | 09:08 |
| b1 | AKEM can U read me? | 09:08 |
| blackshirt | rayn2, i don't play a bit with this tools | 09:09 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, could you use set filetype=? to see if it detects the filetype correctly? | 09:09 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, * set filetype? | 09:09 |
| dr0p | _cronus_, i'll just use your installer link (not the one from janus github mainpage) | 09:10 |

| chaotix | i just fresh installed ubuntu 10.10, and i have ethernet plugged into the system, and during install it recognised the internet, but now i am booted into it and there is no internet on that box | 09:12 |
| chaotix | it isnt recognising whe wired or wireless | 09:12 |
| chaotix | grr | 09:12 |
| chaotix | lol | 09:12 |
| chaotix | can u help? | 09:12 |
| blackshirt | vchi, sorry, i'm wrong...man 2 was for system call, and man3 was for library calls manual | 09:12 |
| b1 | It's beyond my scope.... sorry | 09:12 |
| BrixSat | hello, im on ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-session-falback and if i enable transparency in terminal i only see the background not the windows behind, why? | 09:14 |
| chaotix | anyone here? | 09:14 |
| chaotix | BrixSat, it is because the terminal... | 09:14 |
| chaotix | is emulating transparencyu, it isnt real transparency | 09:14 |
| BrixSat | chaotix: ? | 09:14 |
| chaotix | theres nothing wrong, thats how it is supposed to look when you enable transparency... some times it takes getting used to | 09:15 |
| chaotix | but it is likely better that way... you can configure your text color scheme accordingly... if it always showed the window behind it, it would effect how your text would look | 09:15 |
| BrixSat | chaotix: I always got transparency to all things behind | 09:15 |
| chaotix | can anyone help me get networking working? | 09:16 |
| chaotix | BrixSat, ok... in the terminal> | 09:16 |
| chaotix | ? | 09:16 |
| chaotix | maybe i am wrong | 09:16 |
| BrixSat | chaotix: i have transparency enabled but not as it is suposed to work, it should transparency all the things behind not only the background | 09:17 |
| dr0p | _cronus_, still no effects, now i am really curious about the reason :D | 09:18 |
| chaotixx | ok back | 09:19 |
| akhilblue | hey. i have a belkin wireless dongle with rtl8188su chipset. i got a linux driver from realtek, but have no idea how to install. and i tried ndiswrapper, but it does not support master mode. so no go with ndiswrapper. thanks in advance | 09:19 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, so am i. which release are u using? | 09:19 |
| dr0p | _cronus_, 12.04 | 09:20 |
| chaotixx | can someone help? xubuntu 12.10 fresh install, and no networking is working at all | 09:20 |
| mysticalzero | BrixSat: hardware accelerated desktop composition does not work in gnome fallback session. of course the transparency would work as true transparency.. | 09:20 |
| chaotixx | the ethernet conection worked fine during install | 09:20 |
| chaotixx | and now, it is like there is nothing... iwred and wireless | 09:20 |
| mysticalzero | BrixSat: wouldn't work* typo sorry | 09:20 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, same here... so it's not that. what about filetype have you checked that? | 09:20 |
| nv | you have the networking icon right? | 09:20 |
| chaotixx | yes | 09:20 |
| pipe_ | hello, i have a netbook hp dm1-4100 series, with "Beats audio". i m using ubuntu 12.04 and the sound isn't very well, i hear some noise. how to i can improve the sound? | 09:21 |
| dr0p | :set filetype? -> filetype=conf | 09:21 |
| BrixSat | mysticalzero: a little disapointing :( | 09:21 |
| nv | what adapter information does it report? | 09:21 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, that's not right. try set filetype=c | 09:21 |
| akhilblue | guys how do i install a driver for linux? belkin usb dongle with realtek rtl8188su. i have the driver from the realtek website. | 09:22 |
| dr0p | _cronus_, works ;] | 09:22 |
| mysticalzero | BrixSat: why are you running in fallback session? graphic driver issues? | 09:22 |
| _cronus_ | dr0p, it probably does not recognise the extension properly then. are you using standard extensions? ie .c .cc .cpp etc | 09:23 |
| BrixSat | mysticalzero: no, i hate unity so i installed the session fall back to look like gnome2 | 09:23 |
| dr0p | _cronus_, yes, like K&R told in their book ;] | 09:23 |
| akhilblue | guys. driver help needed | 09:23 |

| mangoz88 | andrea_17: depends which browser your using | 09:29 |
| andrea_17 | firefox 16.0 | 09:29 |
| BrixSat | mysticalzero: solution is "dconf-editor, org/gnome/metacity" :D and enable composite | 09:29 |

| _serial_ | chromium | 09:34 |

| andrea_17 | it is way better than mozilla? | 09:35 |
| _serial_ | personal preference me thinks | 09:35 |
| andrea_17 | so chrome or chromium? | 09:35 |
| _serial_ | chromium | 09:35 |

| _serial_ | as you can get it from the repos straight away rather than adding the chrome stable repo | 09:36 |
| mangoz88 | i use chrome 22 , works perfect on all videos | 09:36 |
| _serial_ | brayn when you open a new tab theres the web app store on the bottom panel | 09:36 |

| nv | there is a public and private key. you its looking for the private key | 10:16 |
| _serial_ | good luck :) | 10:16 |
| nv | how you get the private key all depends on the key distrobution method | 10:17 |
| sk1pper | nv: what do u mean? i don't have any private or public key, and it's asking me for the password of the private key | 10:18 |

| Mrokii | How is the gui named that lets me activate it I mean, so I can call it from terminal | 10:30 |

| PatrickDickey | Siegel-: what packages won't install? | 10:41 |
| Siegel- | PatrickDickey: complete generic linux kernel and generic linux kernel image. upadate manager says theyre downloaded but not installed | 10:42 |
| Bustacap | _serial_, that worked. thanks :) | 10:42 |
| PatrickDickey | Siegel, does it give you an error message when you try to install them? If you don't see one, I'd try the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade option that others are recommending. At least there, you'll get some type of message. | 10:43 |

| ThinkT510 | !checkinstall | User123 | 10:44 |
| ubottu | User123: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 10:44 |
| Fuzzles | Siegel-, its what i use but try the cleab commands to clean pakcages and cache restart and try installing maybe they didnt download properlty | 10:44 |
| PatrickDickey | Siegel and Fuzzles, it has nothing to do with upgrading (version to version). Most likely something happened, and the kernel couldn't install. Doing it via the command line (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) will tell you what's happening. | 10:44 |
| Siegel- | PatrickDickey: it does give me an error but im running that dist-upgrade command now. ill slee if this works. | 10:45 |

| Siegel- | jrib: i see its a bug, thanks | 10:59 |
| PatrickDickey | Siegel-: I haven't forgotten you. ;-) You could try sudo dpkg --remove --pending and it should clear those two updates out. Then you can do a check for updates again, and try them again. | 10:59 |

| ThinkT510 | Mrokii: the module is just called nvidia | 11:39 |
| tenX_ | PatrickDickey: how about fubuntu, with fluxbox | 11:39 |
| bazhang | tenX_, thats fedora | 11:39 |
| phaber | bien.... estoy provando a intender como se hace con mirc..... | 11:39 |
| penyulap | it did, thank you Patrick | 11:39 |
| PatrickDickey | tenX_: never heard of it. I've heard of mythbuntu, edubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, and ubuntu (gnome remix also). | 11:39 |
| bazhang | tenX_, unless you meant fluxbuntu | 11:39 |
| User123 | After killing VLC process gnome player works fine. I think VLC was making the video to lag. :D | 11:39 |
| Mrokii | ThinkT510: And how does that help? | 11:39 |
| ThinkT510 | Mrokii: nvidia-current is just the package name in the package manager | 11:39 |
| tenX_ | bazhang: does it really exist? | 11:39 |

| tenX_ | PatrickDickey: just a guess | 11:40 |
| tenX_ | PatrickDickey: word play | 11:40 |
| ThinkT510 | Mrokii: lsmod nv* | 11:40 |
| PatrickDickey | phaber, quieres #ubuntu-es. Mi espanol is poquito. | 11:40 |
| bazhang | tenX_, it is unofficial. you can install fluxbox on ubuntu if you choose | 11:40 |
| phaber | el mio tambien.... | 11:40 |
| Alexi | User123: if you know the Process ID number, you can do kill -9 <number> or if you only know the name theen its pkill -9 <name of process> | 11:40 |
| tenX_ | bazhang: yes of course. was just trying to throw something in | 11:41 |
| Mrokii | ThinkT510: That doesn't seem to work. I only get "usage: lsmod" | 11:41 |
| ThinkT510 | Mrokii: then nvidia module isn't loaded | 11:41 |
| Mrokii | ThinkT510: Is there a way to manually load it? | 11:41 |
| ThinkT510 | Mrokii: pastebin the output of lsmod | 11:41 |
| User123 | Alexi, -L shows that 9 is KILL, got it, thanks! And how do I know how process is called? | 11:42 |
| Alexi | Mrokii: sudo modprobe <module name> | 11:42 |
| Alexi | User123: "top" or "htop" or "ps -A" gives a list of running processes | 11:42 |
| wols_ | User123: or you simply use "killall" and you can use the name. no need for a PID | 11:43 |
| Alexi | ty wols_ | 11:43 |
| Mrokii | ThinkT510: One moment, will take a second or two. I'm on a very small resolution currently. | 11:43 |
| User123 | wols_, won't killall will kill all the processes? :) | 11:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Hey guys, can I dd an installed Ubuntu partition to a USB stick, add Grub to the MBR and use it as a USB OS? (obviously changing UUIDs in /etc/fstab and so forth) | 11:47 |
| nibbler_ | ActionParsnip: you can even cp it to save time and convert fs... | 11:48 |
| Alexi | Mrokii: it may not exist in the /lib/modules? directory , you may have to manually build it, which is a bit fiddly, but you go to the the linux kernel directory ,and "make modules", "make modules install" or something | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nibbler_: sweet, that's my next lump of fun then. Got my install to 2.9Gb and fancied a chuckle :). Thanks :D | 11:48 |
| nibbler_ | ActionParsnip: but i have very bad experience with running OS from usb, at least long term | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nibbler_: oh definately, its just to see if I can | 11:49 |
| Mrokii | Alexi: "or something" doesn't sound too good when it comes to fiddling with the kernel. :) | 11:49 |
| nibbler_ | ActionParsnip: then enjoy ;-) depends a bit on your bios obv. | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | nibbler_: yeah thats all good, I install via USB | 11:49 |
| Mrokii | I may try to install everything manually though if there's no other solution. | 11:49 |
| Alexi | Mrokii: Im not familiar with your machine, but When i needed a module, I turned it on in the kernel config, and then compiled it, then modprobed it. | 11:50 |
| wols_ | Mrokii: you are lacking the nvidia module? what dos dpkg -l |grep nvidia say? | 11:51 |
| wols_ | there should be some nvidia-kernel or sopackage shown | 11:51 |
| wols_ | ActionParsnip: you can't. you would have to reinstall grub. then you could | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: "dd Grub to the MBR" ;) | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | *add | 11:52 |
| Mrokii | wols_: It shows me some lines about nvidia-drivers that are installed. | 11:52 |
| Mrokii | wols_: ii nvidia-current 310.14-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal3 amd64 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library | 11:53 |
| Mrokii | rc nvidia-experimental-304 304.48-0ubuntu1 amd64 Experimental NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library | 11:53 |

| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: sudo dpkg -P nvidia-experimental-304 | 11:53 |
| wols_ | ActionParsnip: grub needs to know where to find stage 1.5 and 2. that is written to the MBR wen installing. basically patching the grub code. dd won't help | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: please use a pastebin for multiple lined outputs | 11:53 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: Sorry, next time. I need to reboot after that command? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: can I chroot to the USB OS and sort Grub from there? | 11:54 |
| MaxedOut | What are some basic spreadsheet calculators that work under console other than sc? (SC is really to powerful for what I want, which is to setup a table of strings that I can modify on the fly during a ssh session) | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: worth a try | 11:54 |
| wols_ | ActionParsnip: that's fine, yes. bind mount /proc and /dev/ beforehand | 11:54 |
| Mrokii | I'll see. Thanks for now. | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: absolutely. I've chrooted a few times :) | 11:55 |

| wols_ | mrmist: use the propre ubuntu nvidia-current module. not the xedgers one. waste of bytes anyways for your system | 11:56 |
| MaxedOut | Alexi: I've never heard of gnumeric so I'll try that. I thought Libreoffice was strictly GUI | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MaxedOut: there is ss too which is an sc derrivative | 11:56 |
| Hippie_ | whats the best way to install nvidia drivers on a fresh installation | 11:56 |
| wols_ | mrmist: gnumeric is X too. and libreoffice as well of course | 11:57 |

| Michiellllaptop | why is my 11.10 install asking to update to 12.04 instead of 12.10? | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | !medibuntu | 11:57 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 11:57 |
| wols_ | ActionParsnip: ask ubottu in private, until you found it :P | 11:57 |
| andrea__ | my problem is video on YT and others, i can see just a few videos; any suggestions? | 11:57 |
| wols_ | int3nz0r: cause you must upgrade to the next ubuntu version. you can't skip releases | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: will do | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MaxedOut: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SimpleEmacsSpreadsheet | 11:58 |
| MaxedOut | ActionParsnip: I've never tried ss so I'll look into it. I really just want to organize strings in a nice easy to read table. i'm not using it for calculations. Do you have any other recommendations? | 11:58 |
| wols_ | Michiellllaptop: ^^ | 11:58 |
| MaxedOut | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | Michiellllaptop: you upgrade from lts to lts.. or to each release in order. | 11:58 |
| int3nz0r | wols_ wrong highlight ;) | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MaxedOut: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oleo/ | 11:58 |
| Michiellllaptop | oké imma delay the next update though, this one is taking like 45min already | 11:59 |
| Michiellllaptop | i dont need another hour wasted after this | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | MaxedOut: these aren't recommendations, its just stuff I'm finding | 11:59 |
| MaxedOut | ActionParsnip: Well your google fu is better than mine. I kept pulling up sc through various searches, I suppose because it is the most powerful of the console tools. | 11:59 |
| Bustacap | So if I install nvidia-current, when I reboot, I get a blank screen with my desktop and I can't do anything. What can I do to fix it :/ | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | i used sc for many years. ;-) | 12:00 |
| Michiellllaptop | unity just closed i think o.O | 12:00 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: Still nothing. This time modprobe tells me that 304 can't be loaded. Guess I'll see if I can install/compile or whatever the drivers manually. :( | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: you can't compile the proprietary driver, its proprietary | 12:01 |
| Michiellllaptop | all the menu bars have disappeared and i can't alt+tab | 12:01 |
| wols_ | somehow it's funny. everyone has nvidia problems. and there they said it'd be the one to get for linux... imagine that | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: could uninstall the nvidia-current you have, remove the edgers PPA then install the one from the Ubuntu repos | 12:01 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: I mean install it manually. I know I did that before. | 12:01 |
| Michiellllaptop | and it says it still needs 30minutes :| | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | ive rarely had nvidia problems. ;-) | 12:01 |
| wols_ | rickbol: purge ALL nvidia drivers you have installed, and run depmod -a | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: nvidia has been flawless here for many many years | 12:02 |
| wols_ | Mrokii: installing manually is a foolish thing | 12:02 |
| wols_ | Mrokii: ^ | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | had more issues with intel here. | 12:02 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: I have installed the 304 one and activated it (at least according to the repository-GUI. | 12:02 |
| Alexi | i like nouveau, and it will soon have reclocking for my card. | 12:02 |
| * Michiellllaptop now hates updates -.- | 12:02 | |
| ActionParsnip | seen more issues with AMD/Radeon and SiS things | 12:02 |
| Mrokii | wols_: If you have a better idea... | 12:02 |
| wols_ | Mrokii: I just told you what to do. your choice | 12:02 |
| unityman | I will support unity. Even though there are like ten of thousands of Icons that Unity could have used along with better GUI like cairo that could get the job done better. Real support is for intergration of cell phones and tablets. Like were there taking Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: what does nvidia-settings say you are using? | 12:03 |
| wols_ | Mrokii: purge them all and stop using xedgers. run depmod -a before trying again | 12:03 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: It tells me that the 304 driver is used. | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | unityman: then use Cairo...nothing stopping you | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrokii: cool, did you try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig and rebooting? | 12:04 |
| Mrokii | ActionParsnip: No, didn't try xconfig again, forgot about that. Though I somehow doubt that it will work, as I had used that before with the other driver. Anyhow, I'll try. Thanks for now. | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | unityman: I use Lubuntu + xompmgr + Docky. Works well: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/QuantalDesktop.png | 12:05 |
| unityman | ActionParsnip: Agreed just was unsure of the vision Mark Staleworth had for ubuntu. But his idea is much clearer now. | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | unityman: I switched from plank 9in that image) to docky recently | 12:05 |
| unityman | ActionParsnip: When I'm get down to nutts and bolts I use Arch Linux with Openbox and Conky with RSS feeds. | 12:06 |
| fra | ciao | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | unityman: if you install xcompmgr and add: @xcompmgr -n to your session config, you can use compositing :) | 12:06 |
| fra | !list | 12:07 |
| ubottu | fra: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | so fra. do you ! list every channel you join? | 12:07 |
| Mrokii | As I thought. Didn't help as well. So I'm getting rid of all that nVidia-crap for a while, so at least I can use this installation. | 12:08 |
| unityman | ActionParsnip: probably going to load Gnome 3 and cairo with kupfer. I usually use kupfer over all much faster then my mouse. | 12:08 |

| Eagleman | It only shows which ports are open? | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: 'netstat -a' can show active ports etc. | 12:20 |

| alluazad | yes thats it | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | alluazad: that's not virtual | 12:40 |
| IdleOne | alluazad: installing in a VM will take a performance hit which is expected | 12:40 |
| alluazad | so wubi is not virtual ? | 12:40 |
| IdleOne | no | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | alluazad: you just use your crappy NTFS to hold a file which stores your Ubuntu OS | 12:40 |
| MonkeyDust | alluazad wubi is a pseudo-installation, so to say, inside windows | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | alluazad: it is loop mounted at boot and booted to | 12:41 |
| alluazad | so i am using it like any other program in win 7 right ? | 12:41 |

| MonkeyDust | alluazad yes | 12:41 |

When I run apt-get upgrade I get many packets listed which are not yet installed. "-f" does not work either, when I do that it tries to download some more packets which it cannot due to lack of network connectivity. Can I boot from USB/CD and resume the upgrade from the USB/CD medi | 12:43 |
| nessi_- | instead? | 12:43 |
| IdleOne | alluazad: it is supported in that you can read/write to ntfs but you can't do a real install of Ubuntu to ntfs. | 12:43 |
| alluazad | ok i get it | 12:44 |
| alluazad | i will do wubi | 12:44 |
| alluazad | so that it will not mess with partition | 12:44 |

| pestilence | i used to have keyboard shortcuts that made a window take up half the screen on the left, half the screen on the right, and maximize/unmaximize. Any ideas on how to get that back? | 12:46 |
| ex0a | alluazad: because the hardware manufacturers aren't concerned about linux drivers | 12:46 |
| pestilence | in keyboard shortcuts for "windows" i only see "maximize" as an option | 12:47 |
| alluazad | that is one thing i am not entirely shifting to ubuntu . i will miss gaming :( | 12:47 |

| amaurea | Hi! I'm on ubuntu 12.04, and I'm trying to add a SMB printer. This page (http://askubuntu.com/questions/153517/ubuntu-12-04-network-printing-through-windows-samba-server) shows a nice-looking configuration panel with all the settings I need to fill in, but on my own system, the printer settings dialogue found in system settings lacks almost all of these options. | 12:53 |
| amaurea | So I guess I'm using the wrong program for adding this | 12:53 |
| pestilence | alluazad: yes, really | 12:54 |
| alluazad | brb need to check | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | amaurea: you could try the cups web interface also. http://localhost:631 | 12:56 |

| dr_willis | amaurea: not sure. havent done a windows shared printer in years | 13:06 |

| _cronus_ | amaurea, why not using system settings? it is probably easier... | 13:09 |

| alluazad | bye bye | 13:10 |
| alluazad | all | 13:10 |
| amaurea | system settings' add printer dialog does not contain the settings I need. It just automatically tries to find all printers, and doesn't let me specify the SMB details, unlike the example on the page I linked to | 13:10 |
| BrianBlaze | anyone know what the best way after compying a file how to clear out the old one so it is empty without deleting each line one at a time | 13:10 |
| _cronus_ | amaurea, you should be able to get to these settings. have you selected the windows printer via samba option? | 13:11 |
| ardchoille | pinnerup: Oh, nice. Thank you for that! | 13:11 |

| BrianBlaze | I don't want to remove | 13:11 |
| BrianBlaze | just empty it out lol | 13:11 |
| pestilence | you just want to truncate it? | 13:11 |
| amaurea | _cronus_: I have no samba option. I have a "local" and "network" option, and these have no sub-options | 13:11 |
| pestilence | rm && touch ? | 13:11 |
| jrib | BrianBlaze: I would just use mv and then create an empty file. It will be faster in some cases | 13:11 |
| pestilence | oh, llutz's suggestion is easier. | 13:11 |
| amaurea | _cronus_: the "network" option has a box where I can tell it to search for printers by name, and that's all | 13:12 |

| yossarianuk | hi -I need help with compiling the ubuntu kernel - i.e kernel + ubuntu patches.. I know how to compile a kernel generally from kernel.org (make-kpkg), and I know how to use git to do it . | 13:26 |
| yossarianuk | I would like to know how to compile via the linux-source-3.5.0 package.... I notice the kernel source is @ /usr/src/linux-source-3.5.0/linux-source-3.5.0.tar.bz2 - is this just the vinilla source ? what do I do with the debian/ + debian.master/ folders ?

| jrib | !kernel | yossarianuk | 13:29 |
| ubottu | yossarianuk: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 13:29 |

| simplew | FOR what i see i can only access ubuntu cloud if running UBUNTU | 13:58 |
| Mrokii | wols_: I had tried your suggestion, getting rid of xedgers, puring drivers and re-installing nVidia, plus using "depmod -a". Unfortunately that didn't make the nVidia-drivers work. | 13:58 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii! I just dealt with that. | 13:58 |
| luyang | Wow Ubuntu bundles Amazon.... | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: so you want to download and upload files to your ubuntu one storage in windows? Is that right? | 13:58 |
| luyang | :o | 13:58 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii, had to put in a new ppa, lemme find the page again. | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | luyang: some love it, some hate it | 13:58 |
| MonkeyDust | luyang yes, controversial decision | 13:58 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, but how do I get my application lens rendering? | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | luyang: its removable | 13:58 |
| luyang | MonkeyDust: I can imagine | 13:59 |
| luyang | ActionParsnip: I see | 13:59 |
| pestilence | nicofs: try using twinview. I think that's what you want. | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: how do you mean? | 13:59 |
| nicofs | pestilence, that's not what I want. I have been using seperate x screens happily for a few years now... | 13:59 |

| ActionParsnip | brennan_: howdy | 14:00 |
| Bustacap | So after a fresh install of 12.10, how should I go about installing the latest nvidia drivers? | 14:00 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii, http://www.techlw.com/2012/03/install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-1204.html then go to jockey and try the.. uhm... post-something. the one right before experimental 304 | 14:00 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, in that I do not have the application icon in the unity launcher but no apps listed | 14:00 |
| llutz | simplew: even if you don't answer questions https://one.ubuntu.com/downloads/windows/ | 14:00 |
| Mrokii | sporkboy: I'll give it a try, thanks. | 14:00 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii, on a friend's, I was getting any gui with no bars. | 14:01 |
| sporkboy | tried like 15 things and that did it. | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install unity-lens-applications | 14:01 |
| usr13_ | Bustacap: You should be presented with an option for it shortly. | 14:01 |
| Mrokii | sporkboy: Worth a try. | 14:01 |
| brennan_ | ActionParsnip, hey i'm playing a game and the alt+s command will not work nothing with alt will | 14:01 |
| Bustacap | usr13, I haven't gotten anything so I decided to do apt-get install nvidia-current. | 14:01 |
| Bustacap | But when I open the nvidia config, it gives me this error "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | brennan_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141011/unity-customize-keys-f10-alts | 14:02 |
| Bustacap | When I do that, and reboot, my screen displays like crap. | 14:02 |
| Bustacap | And I still get the same nvidia error. | 14:02 |
| Bustacap | Lspci shows that my card is detected. | 14:03 |
| Zuhaitz | Hi, I updated my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 to 12.10, I have it configured in BASQUE/NAVARRE language, the problem is that now some parts are in the second language (incomplete), should I reinstall? may be is not translated in 12.10? or may I reinstall 12.10 from zero? Thanks for the atention. | 14:03 |
| usr13_ | Bustacap: Or you can look for "Hardware Drivers" under "Administration" | 14:04 |
| iceroot | Zuhaitz: guess its not translated in 12.10 | 14:04 |
| paolooo | hi @all, I just installed winehq and installed an application. How do I browse installed application? I'm using ubuntu 12.04 | 14:04 |
| iceroot | Zuhaitz: because new features/text needs a translatation and as it seems its not done yet | 14:04 |
| Bustacap | usr13, I don't see that? | 14:05 |
| osse | It seems the output of the update-motd.d scripts are filtered. I only see the three first lines of my script. How can I configure this? | 14:05 |
| usr13_ | Bustacap: Did you do "sudo nvidia-xconfig"? | 14:05 |
| Zuhaitz | ice799, ok... is about the calendar, days, and things like that, so... sure? :$ | 14:05 |
| Bustacap | Yeah, and that works but then gives me that same error when I reboot, and also I can't see anything when I reboot besides my wallpaper. | 14:05 |
| Mrokii | sporkboy: Won't work I guess. They don't provide a PPA for 12.10. | 14:05 |
| usr13_ | Bustacap: Must be wrong screen-size. | 14:06 |
| usr13_ | Bustacap: Did you look to see what screen-size it was using? Or could you tell if you were seeing all of the background image or just a portion of it? | 14:07 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii, d'oh. yeah.. didn't think about that. I've taken to lts only in my old age. | 14:08 |
| Bustacap | I just found a lot of threads of people with the same problem so I'm going to try this fix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10 | 14:08 |
| brennan_ | ActionParsnip, it didnt work anyother ideas | 14:08 |
| brennan_ | ? | 14:08 |
| sporkboy | you know, because of nvidia issues every time I upgraded. | 14:08 |
| Mrokii | sporkboy: Thanks anyway. | 14:09 |
| Mrokii | These nVidia issues are a pita. | 14:10 |
| brennan_ | ActionParsnip, the alt has a whole bunch of options that i dont want to investigate | 14:10 |
| sporkboy | Mrokii, you might check nvidia's website for newer ones or risk trying the 12.04 package (I know it's anti-recommended, but I've done it before) | 14:10 |
| john_doe_jr | I'm running through a script on a server but the script fails….it writes all kinds of info to the info to the terminal & I'd like to know what but I can't scroll up to see..any ideas how I can solve this problem? | 14:11 |
| yossarianuk | one of ubuntu's worst features is not having nvidia as a rolling release package | 14:11 |
| Mrokii | sporkboy: I already tried 310.x, that's the latest from x-swat, which I guess is kind of similar to xedgers. | 14:11 |
| yossarianuk | it should be - if you buy a card in 1 year it won;t be supported by the driver in 12.04 (supported for 5 yrs) | 14:11 |
| yossarianuk | thats silly | 14:11 |
| === 3JTAAAK68 is now known as audiophiel | ||
| DrPoO | Hi all, I started my upgrade from 12.04 LTS (im using unity as a desktop) to 12.10 this morning, and half way through the upgrade the window decorations dissapeared and my alt+tab combo does not work so I have no idea if the upgrade is done.... what do I do?! please help | 14:12 |
| yossarianuk | and all the times there are bugfixes - i.e by sticking with the default nvidia driver you getting less features and less stability - all in the name of 'stabilty' | 14:12 |
| DrPoO | Using alt+ctrl+f1 I can reach a working terminal | 14:13 |
| Simon1245 | Could someone please tell me how I can make so at the grub loading part that Windows starts up at the start of it and not Linux? | 14:13 |
| sporkboy | DrPoO, I'd go to a terminal and keep an eye on dmesg. might give you some insight. | 14:13 |

| llutz | Simon1245: i told you | 14:14 |
| DrPoO | sporkboy, any ideas of what to look for? | 14:15 |
| DrPoO | sporkboy, what is the process called (the upgrading program) | 14:15 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: ps aux |grep apt | 14:15 |
| Simon1245 | llutz, That doesn't work | 14:15 |
| Simon1245 | llutz, I mean there's no gui thing like where you can change it | 14:15 |
| llutz | Simon1245: sure it works, why do you want a gui for a one-line change? | 14:16 |
| Xiol | DrPoO: you could start 'top' and take a look to see what processes are running. if all it idle then it should be complete (should be!) | 14:16 |
| Simon1245 | llutz, It's easier and less chance to mess it up totaly, I guess. | 14:16 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: or htop | 14:16 |
| gaetano_ | #ubuntustudio | 14:16 |
| DrPoO | usr13_, when running ps -e |grep apt I only see aptd... but I think that this program is always running | 14:17 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: How did you run the upgrade? From a terminal? | 14:17 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: htop | 14:17 |
| DrPoO | Xiol, running top shows me dpkg working hard still.... | 14:17 |
| Simon1245 | llutz, Could you tell me how I change it with this the terminal? | 14:17 |
| llutz | Simon1245: GUI = more code = more chance for issues but do whatever you like. i told you how to get it working, just copy/paste it into terminal | 14:17 |
| DrPoO | usr13_, i ran the upgrade using the gui | 14:18 |
| Zuhaitz | is posible to do an upgrade? | 14:18 |
| Zuhaitz | downgrade | 14:18 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: Ok, it's still working on the upgrade process. How long has it been? | 14:18 |
| Simon1245 | Oh | 14:18 |
| sary | Salutaion! | 14:18 |
| Simon1245 | After that I don't have to do anything and it'll load Windows as default? | 14:18 |
| llutz | Simon1245: correct | 14:18 |
| usr13_ | Zuhaitz: Downgrade = re-install | 14:18 |
| DrPoO | usr13_, I finished downloading everything 15/20 mins ago, it was on the installing step when the problem arose | 14:19 |
| Simon1245 | llutz, Oh alright thanks! :) | 14:19 |
| usr13_ | DrPoO: Ok, give it some time. | 14:19 |
| Zuhaitz | usr13, :( | 14:19 |
| * Zuhaitz whyyyy | 14:19 | |
| Zuhaitz | xD | 14:19 |
| DrPoO | usr13_, i figured .... so wait for dpkg to finish??? | 14:19 |
| sary | My friend is trying to install ubuntu side by side with Windows XP , after the installation is done , He got an error: system error rescue http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307036/ .. what should i tell him o try next . | 14:20 |
| DrPoO | usr13_, I also see a process named "quantal" | 14:20 |
| usr13_ | Zuhaitz: If you have /home/ on separate partition you can do fresh install with different version, tell it not to format /home's partition, use same user name, and it will be the same as if you did an upgrade. | 14:21 |
| sary | he was installing ubuntu 12.10 , now will try with ubuntu 12.04 , have check the iso with MD5sum . burned the the new iso to a USB media . | 14:21 |

Is there a way to use the media-laptop as some sort of server, while the Smartphone is able to control the devices? (Contacts and stuff should be synced between all machines). | 14:23 |
| Fernest | Does one have an idea/link/tutorial/keyword how to start such a network? | 14:23 |

| usr13_ | Fernest: You use gmail, right? | 14:24 |
| Fernest | (with control I mean stuff like: "Play next song on the media-laptop or launch some script on the work-station (like auto-upload or compile scripts) | 14:24 |
| Fernest | yeah | 14:24 |

| sary | Fernest: so , you're trying to setup a home Network share ! | 14:26 |
| Fernest | more than sharing | 14:26 |
| LucidGuy | Can anyone explain to me my I can't sync my time with ntp.ubuntu.com http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307278/ Thats the output from ntpdate -q | 14:26 |
| Fernest | something like Ubuntu_for_androids (which has yet to come). | 14:26 |
| Fernest | maybe SSH, maybe ftp, etc. etc. | 14:27 |
| sary | Will , get the sharing setup first , then see what's your options from there . | 14:27 |
| Fernest | so there is no all-in-one solution? | 14:27 |
| usr13_ | LucidGuy: "no server suitable for synchronization found" | 14:27 |
| usr13_ | LucidGuy: Try a different server | 14:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | LucidGuy, you may want to actually define a time server | 14:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | LucidGuy, like... ntpdate -q ntp.ubuntu.com | 14:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | i've had issues with it nor reading from its configs before | 14:28 |
| LucidGuy | TheLordOfTime, that output was from ntpdate -d ntp.ubuntu.com | 14:28 |
| Fernest | do you think it could be done with Ubuntu-Cloud (using all the machines as cloud devices)? Or is it not worth the trouble? | 14:29 |

| usr13_ | LucidGuy: I don't know, but tested from mine and works ok. That's all I can think of is that you have a network issue. | 14:36 |
| LucidGuy | TheLordOfTime, tried a few | 14:36 |
| usr13_ | TheLordOfTime: Yes, he tried a different server | 14:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | LucidGuy, then it is likely a networking issue, either the ISP's blocking traffic or otherwise | 14:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | usr13_, he just said that dude :/. | 14:36 |
| LucidGuy | Odd, doesn't matter what server I try I get .. stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000 .. you would think some values would be in there | 14:37 |

| LucidGuy | I'm at work .. | 14:45 |

| researcher123 | How to remove s7.addthis.com? It takes infinite to open some pages | 15:11 |
| gordonjcp | researcher123: adblock | 15:11 |
| usr13_ | sary: I don't know what he has done but sounds like he somehow changed partition size without moving the data to the beginning of the partition. (Just going from what that error message says.) | 15:11 |
| sary | usr13_: this time , i suggested to him to burn a new iso of 12.04 to his usb media using Unetbootin , he was on his way to boot the live-cd from his laptop on the other room , since then he went off-line. | 15:12 |
| blackness | researcher123, set '0.0.0.0 s7.addthis.com' to /etc/hosts and it'll cancel out ;) | 15:12 |
| researcher123 | gordonjcp: where do I type this command? | 15:12 |
| gordonjcp | researcher123: it's a firefox addon | 15:12 |
| Lorra | researcher123, the configuration page of my router allows to set some domain names you want to aoid to contact | 15:12 |
| Lorra | researcher123, yeah, use that add-on | 15:12 |
| Lorra | researcher123, it works great | 15:12 |
| usr13_ | sary: I too, am a LTS fan. | 15:12 |
| sary | usr13_: Yeah , looks like it! | 15:13 |
| samir82show | okk, I need to write/modify a usb device driver for usb device which is I don't know according to what I have to modify the source code | 15:13 |
| sary | usr13_: Yeah , tell me about it .. :-) | 15:13 |
| blackness | usb-creator-gtk/kde would be better if he has access to a working machine | 15:13 |
| usr13_ | sary: When asked what kind of computer I like best, I reply, "One that works." OS's are same. | 15:14 |
| sary | usr13_: he is actually smart , he startd to aske about the differences between both versions , and so answered and explained the meaning of LTS as well. | 15:14 |
| sary | usr13_: :-) | 15:15 |
| sary | usr13_: i fond it funny when people get's all hyped up about the none-LTS new release , then the next 3-4 weeks they start complaining about some " edgy stuff " Thaha :;-D Like Really kids! | 15:18 |

| martino1 | Hi. I'm using Lubuntu , and in lxpanel I installed the "indicator-messages" to have messaging controls always in the panel..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. icons remains inactive (grey) | 15:19 |
| samir82show | anybody knows about usb device driver | 15:19 |
| samir82show | ? | 15:19 |
| martino1 | What can I do? | 15:19 |
| bazhang | samir82show, how is this ubuntu support related | 15:19 |
| samir82show | what kind of supports you mean? | 15:20 |
| graciano | hi | 15:20 |
| graciano | im from brazil | 15:20 |
| bazhang | samir82show, ubuntu support. how is your device driver question related to Ubuntu support | 15:20 |
| samir82show | I suppose support means fixing systems issues | 15:20 |

| fluitfries | samir82show, just ask your question, state your problem first. | 15:20 |

| martino1 | Hi. I'm using Lubuntu ... I installed the "indicator-messages" and "indicator-messages-gtk2" to have messaging controls always in view on the panel..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. the icon remains inactive (grey) | 15:22 |
| martino1 | What can I do??? :( | 15:22 |
| bazhang | samir82show, and this is Ubuntu OS support. thats just generic coding | 15:22 |
| samir82show | then where I have to go? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | ##programming | 15:23 |
| fluitfries | martino1, have you checked that the software is compatible with lxpanel? | 15:23 |
| samir82show | for linux kernel and device drivers | 15:23 |
| bazhang | samir82show, I just told you | 15:23 |
| samir82show | thanks | 15:23 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: of course, lxpanel has its "indicator-applet" which *IS* made exclusively for it | 15:24 |
| mamad | jjkl | 15:24 |
| fluitfries | martino1, i also run lubuntu, but i've not really done anything to lxpanel. sorry. | 15:24 |
| martino1 | I think the problem is pidgin mis-integration .... this problem was also in some version of gnome2 | 15:24 |
| fluitfries | martino1, ah, so maybe the issue is already a reported bug? | 15:25 |
| martino1 | but ... idk | 15:25 |

| shaneo | 12.10 | 15:27 |
| martino1 | shaneo: you too | 15:27 |
| martino1 | :( | 15:27 |
| shaneo | yeah martino1 it's annoying | 15:27 |
| martino1 | I'm with lubuntu and have the same problem | 15:27 |
| martino1 | yes it is | 15:27 |
| shaneo | i was thinking maybe editing indicator menus in dconf might do it but idk | 15:28 |
| fluitfries | you guys are trying to add more indicators than the default pidgin one? | 15:28 |
| martino1 | idk too | 15:28 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: it's not about pidgin's tray icon | 15:28 |
| fluitfries | ah k | 15:28 |
| martino1 | it's the general messaging indicator | 15:28 |
| shaneo | no fluitfries *messaging menu indicator | 15:29 |
| fluitfries | i can try it on my system right now if you tell me how, but it sounds broken. | 15:29 |
| fluitfries | lubuntu 12 here | 15:29 |
| martino1 | me too | 15:29 |
| toscho | hi, I have a problem with my samsung scx-4728fd mfp. when trying to detect it as a scanner either xsane, simple-scan or samsung unified driver configurator crash with memory error | 15:29 |
| shaneo | sudo apt-get install pidgin | 15:29 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: if you want to check | 15:29 |
| martino1 | sudo apt-get install indicator-message* | 15:29 |
| fluitfries | i've got pidgin set up already | 15:29 |
| fluitfries | kk | 15:29 |
| martino1 | then add "indicator applet" to lxpanel and enable messaging | 15:29 |
| shaneo | hmm martino1 never thought about that | 15:30 |
| shaneo | you ran that and it still doesn't work? | 15:30 |
| === robert_ is now known as Guest14927 | ||
| martino1 | shaneo: it is loaded | 15:32 |
| martino1 | but not in communication with pidgin | 15:32 |
| fluitfries | ok, i checked off the messaging box, and it just says "no indicators" | 15:32 |
| shaneo | hmm | 15:32 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest99692 | ||
| shaneo | testing something now ill let you know if it works martino1 | 15:32 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: you have to install the package I told you before | 15:33 |
| fluitfries | martino1, yea, i did. | 15:33 |
| shaneo | martino1, got it | 15:33 |
| martino1 | well then you have to restart lightdm fluitfries to apply the modifies | 15:33 |
| martino1 | ohhh no, install this too ----> sudo apt-get install lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin | 15:34 |
| shaneo | :) but doesnt close to indicator but it's there | 15:34 |
| shaneo | *close to messaging menu | 15:34 |
| fluitfries | martino1, installed. now what, log out and back in? | 15:34 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: ye .. sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: do other apps have issues with the indicator? | 15:36 |
| martino1 | hmmm I try now | 15:36 |
| martino1 | which apps should be compatible? | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: that will either isolate the issue to the indicator, or pidgin | 15:36 |
| Chamunks | would it be a bad thing to run sudo apt-get purge apport? | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: transmission uses that | 15:37 |
| martino1 | ActionParsnip: hmm I don't think so .. It would isolate the issue to the indicator's pidgin module , or pidgin | 15:38 |
| martino1 | ;) | 15:38 |
| lmat | Is there a command that I can use to monitor the file system? | 15:38 |
| martino1 | I try | 15:38 |
| lmat | I see inotify, but it's an API. I'd rather not write a program if possible. | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: it still shifts the issue from the indicator, is my point | 15:38 |
| Scunizi | after doing a <xsetwacom set "Wacom bla bla" Touch on> I no longer have clicking ability with my mouse or tablet pen.. so I did the same thing but said "off" at the end. That didn't work. How do I fix my mouse to allow me to click? | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | lmat: could use conky | 15:38 |
| fluitfries | martino1, lol, that halted my session. but i rebooted and i see the menu now. | 15:39 |
| martino1 | nope, it could still be indicator's issue | 15:39 |
| lmat | ActionParsnip: So ubuntu doesn't come with anything like this? | 15:39 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: how do you see it? | 15:39 |
| fluitfries | a small envelope, if i click it i get status options n stuff | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lmat: there is disk manager or something like that, just because its not default doesn't mean anything | 15:39 |
| ardchoille | lmat: gkrellm is another monitoring app, and it has a skinnable ui | 15:39 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: can you switch from "available to afk for example? | 15:39 |
| lmat | ardchoille: Thanks. | 15:40 |
| fluitfries | martino1, however it is not functioning. it will launch pidgin but not change status | 15:40 |

| [TiZ] | How do you do a minimal install of 12.10? The alternate CD no longer exists, and there isn't a minimal install mode on the desktop CD. | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !mini | [TiZ] | 15:43 |
| ubottu | [TiZ]: 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 | 15:43 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: install arch linux and add what you want? ;) | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: you use the mini ISO to do a mini install, not the alternate | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: the ubuntu community is larger than the arch one :) | 15:43 |
| [TiZ] | lmat: I actually migrated FROM Arch because stuff breaks so much. | 15:43 |

| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: remember to MD5 test ;) | 15:44 |

| martino1 | fluitfries: can you please paste the output? or just check your own whether pidgin has been updated from new repos or not | 15:45 |

| lmat | [TiZ]: heh...arch is a bit rocky | 15:50 |
| martino1 | ActionParsnip: have you read? | 15:50 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: I used it for a while earlier, then changed jobs (and computers). So when I went to set up the new computer, I went to ubuntu. | 15:50 |
| martino1 | it's not pidgin's fault | 15:50 |
| martino1 | it's indicator's pidgin-integration source part | 15:51 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: Although, i've service lightdm stop and disabled it, and I just sit on tty1 the whole time, so it's really not much different. | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | martino1: read what? | 15:51 |
| fluitfries | martino1, ok, i'm gonna uninstall the indicator stuff now. :) | 15:51 |
| martino1 | ActionParsnip: we installed the new version from pidgin's repos | 15:51 |

| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: network manager isn't the only network manager app available you know...... | 15:56 |

| lmat | ActionParsnip: :0 | 15:56 |
| lmat | doh ActionParsnip: :) | 15:56 |
| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that, and I used to use wicd. But since when did wicd do more than just connect to a network? | 15:56 |
| pestilence | nicofs: remind me why you need separate x servers again? | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | lmat: mind you I like that stuff tbh | 15:56 |
| [TiZ] | lmat: Lync? I'm not sure what that is. | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: putting in tonnes of effort in to get network manager working when wicd is available is a little silly imo | 15:57 |
| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip: NetworkManager works perfectly fine. No effort at all. | 15:57 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: It's a Microsoft telephone (PBX replacement) solution. | 15:58 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: It's integrated with Outlook... | 15:58 |
| nicofs | pestilence, because of running applications in full-screen-mode simultaneously. and because i want it that way (that alone should be enough). | 15:58 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: Does a Windows VM cost money? | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | [TiZ]: thought you said you had some issue getting it working though. | 15:58 |
| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip: The problem is adding OpenConnect VPN onto it. Doesn't work at all on Arch. Works out of the box on Ubuntu. | 15:58 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: (license?) | 15:58 |

| hc96 | hi guys! I have a problem with virtualbox and 2 virtual network cards. I run ubuntu server 12.04. I can ping from the host to the guest via 192.168.56.{1,200}, the guest can ping to the ip of google.com, but DNS does not work. What should I do? I think it has to do sth. with /etc/resolv.conf | 16:02 |
| pestilence | hc96: what is the guest OS? | 16:02 |
| hc96 | pestilence: its ubuntu server 12.04, the host is xubuntu 12.10 | 16:03 |
| kenneth__ | I've been looking everywhere | 16:03 |
| pestilence | hc96: what is the contents of resolv.conf | 16:03 |
| kenneth__ | anyone know where to find crowbar guys | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | riqdiiz: did you install Ubuntu using Wubi? | 16:04 |
| hc96 | pestilence: nameserver 10.0.2.2 \n search fritz.box | 16:04 |
| hc96 | pestilence: and it states the contents will be overwritten by resolvconf(8) | 16:04 |
| pestilence | hc96: hrmm. where'd it get that. ubuntu desktop uses dnsmasq...does ubuntu server not do that? | 16:05 |
| riqdiiz | I installed it as stand alone. | 16:05 |
| hc96 | pestilence: 10.0.2.2 is the host IP of my VirtualBox network | 16:05 |
| pestilence | hc96: is it running a dns server? | 16:05 |
| riqdiiz | no through the windows gui. | 16:05 |
| * pestilence looks for the atm machine | 16:06 | |
| [TiZ] | lmat: Yeah. Stick a CD into the host computer, the virtual machine will install Windows from it. | 16:06 |
| lmat | [TiZ]: ok | 16:07 |
| riqdiiz | :'(what am I gonna do? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | riqdiiz, a wubi install? | 16:07 |

| beandog | Guillem_: can change the governer there as well | 16:13 |
| D[4]ni | in startup programs, i added a script that mounts three partitions (a few months ago) | 16:14 |

| Guillem_ | beandog, I'm changing the governor with cpufreq-selector and I see that this tool is at another package. I've installed and now I have cpufreq-set; are both equivalent? | 16:18 |
| beandog | Guillem_: dunno, but most likely. there's only one governer, so yah, should be fine. :) | 16:18 |

| fluitfries | martino1, ok that's good. do you think i should downgrade my pidgin back to stable? | 16:20 |
| beandog | hc96: put nameserver 8.8.8.8 in there and remove the other one | 16:20 |

| Taint | I'm trying to install my drivers. I tried using the additional drivers software and it says no proprietary drivers are in use | 16:21 |
| Guillem_ | beandog, I'm experiencing overheating problems with my laptop. The thing shuts-off under heavy loading (computation). I miminize this changing the governor to powersafe, thus the CPUs use the minimum MHz possible. Question is if I could change that freq to a higher value but not the higest. | 16:22 |
| martino1 | fluitfries: uhm I wouldn't call it "unstable" it's totally stable :) | 16:22 |
| === wu__ is now known as DasWu | ||

| martino1 | JPeterson: haha no it is not | 16:24 |

| martino1 | you wanna know how or just its difficulty? :) | 16:25 |
| beandog | hc96: you're just setting the manually. nothing unsafe about that. | 16:25 |
| beandog | *them | 16:25 |
| JPeterson | martin the following question is. why is a non-hard and important question not answered? | 16:25 |
| D[4]ni | mh. it's starting to happen more often that i can only move my mouse, clicking and trying to use the keyboard does nothing. is there a better way out of this than REISUB? | 16:25 |
| martino1 | JPeterson: uhm I didn't read | 16:25 |
| martino1 | JPeterson: there obviously are many ways | 16:25 |
| D[4]ni | ctrl+alt+f[1-79 don't work as well | 16:25 |
| JPeterson | obviously | 16:25 |
| D[4]ni | ctrl+alt+f[1-7] don't work as well * | 16:26 |
| martino1 | I can tell you a trick to set "ctrl alt backspace" as the "X closer" keybind | 16:26 |
| ardchoille | wowsers, 79 function keys. | 16:26 |
| Guillem_ | beandog, oh! yeah! man cpufreq-set shows me that. I can say that cpufreq-set is much more complete than cpufrec-selector! | 16:26 |
| JPeterson | what is drawing x in this picture where "sudo service --status-all 2>&1|grep lightdm" return " [ ? ] lightdm"[ http://i.imgur.com/xHed6.jpg ]? | 16:26 |
| martino1 | JPeterson: or just kill X process by early findind its pid | 16:26 |
| beandog | Guillem_: yah, you have lots of options ... pretty nice, really | 16:27 |
| JPeterson | martin, pgrep "X process" return "" | 16:27 |
| D[4]ni | once more audio does not work at all | 16:27 |
| beandog | Guillem_: cpufrequtils *might* come with an init.d script to set them on startup | 16:27 |
| hc96 | beandog: rebooting again sets nameserver 10.0.2.2 in the file along with nameserver 8.8.8.8 (I have added dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 to /etc/network/interfaces) | 16:27 |
| hc96 | beandog: and now dns again does not work | 16:27 |
| beandog | hc96: beats me. no idea what's setting it. | 16:28 |
| beandog | hc96: it'll always use the first one first, though | 16:28 |
| martino1 | JPeterson: what? lol I called "X process" but process's name is X | 16:28 |
| martino1 | lol | 16:28 |

| Zakidine | okay since no one is answering me on the french chan, just ask my question here | 16:30 |
| Zakidine | if i install the new 12.10 in 11.10's place | 16:30 |
| Guillem_ | beandog,yes, I've seen it. The fan began blowing :P I have a computation ongoing and I had the governer set to powersafe, so the install of the package has changed it to ondemand.... :P | 16:31 |
| beandog | hc96: or you can use opendns instead of google: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 | 16:31 |
| Zakidine | would i get while having the grub message | 16:31 |
| Zakidine | 12.10 and 11.10 | 16:31 |
| JPeterson | martin, yes but that was because it wasnt running. i guess startx start X and not lightdm | 16:31 |

| beandog | JPeterson: because service can be wrong | 16:34 |
| JPeterson | oh | 16:34 |
| beandog | based on how they check running services, pids | 16:34 |
| martino1 | JPeterson: :) | 16:34 |
| beandog | Like something could be *running*, but if service didn't start it, it may not know | 16:34 |
| beandog | or you could have something where a service starts, using service, but service thinks it craps out when really it doesn't | 16:35 |

| beandog | displaying a process list isn't gonna lie though | 16:35 |
| JPeterson | the correct answer is. startx doesnt start lightdm, it starts X. "kill $(pgrep X)" is therefore recommended way to close x | 16:35 |

| stimoceiver | hi, just ran the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 and now i cant edit "software sources" in either update manager->settings nor synaptic->settings | 17:10 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: are you kidding? They moved it _again_ ? | 17:11 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: just edit the file: /etc/apt/sources.list that doesn't move | 17:11 |
| stimoceiver | yeah but i mean | 17:11 |
| stimoceiver | the sources list is fine | 17:11 |
| stimoceiver | i just liked the nice gui interface to it, lol | 17:11 |
| demersus | I need some help with NFS 4 ID mapping. Anyone have time to help me figure it out? | 17:11 |
| bakkrosa | does anyone have the time to help a complete newbie to ubuntu find and install drivers to his ethernet card? | 17:12 |
| stimoceiver | deadmund: what im saying is the button "settings" is there on update manager, but clicking it just refreshes the list of updates | 17:12 |
| bakkrosa | 12.10 was installed on my MacBook Pro without my knowledge or consent, so I'm a little lost as to what's going on | 17:13 |
| beandog | bakkrosa: uh, should work out of the box. It's intel hardware on Macs | 17:13 |
| [TiZ] | bakkrosa: Find whoever did that, and kick them in the knee. | 17:13 |
| [TiZ] | Spreading the love of linux is all well and good, but only when it's consentual. | 17:13 |
| [TiZ] | That sounds way dirtier than it actually is. | 17:13 |

| deadmund | Also, if you laptop liked it, it wasn't rape. | 17:14 |
| bakkrosa | deadmund: I'd guess so, I need both help in finding and installing the drivers correctly | 17:15 |
| D0lphin_ | Hello :) | 17:15 |
| deadmund | bakkrosa: Ubuntu (linux in fact) comes with most drivers built in. Is there a specific piece of hardware that is giving you issues? For this we can select a better driver perhaps | 17:16 |
| stimoceiver | deadmund: so 12.10 is MAverick yes? Everything in /uysr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info still refers to precise... :-( | 17:16 |
| D0lphin_ | I'm sorry about the question but..., I have one android mobilphone and i connect to the usb but i cant acess to the mobilphone information. Any idea how we can acess to the storage of mopilphone android? | 17:17 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: haha, funny... | 17:17 |
| daftykins | D0lphin_: is it running android v4 ? | 17:17 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: look at /etc/issue | 17:17 |
| stimoceiver | deadmund: 12.10 | 17:17 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins no it is more old... | 17:17 |

| Ron- | hi, what can i do if win 8 (original) won't detect dvd drive and i couldnt install ubuntu? | 17:18 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: there ya go | 17:18 |
| daftykins | D0lphin_: some phones, when you connect USB, you have to bring down the notification area and select to enable file transfer - are you getting that? | 17:18 |
| err-or | rna: what? | 17:18 |
| deadmund | Ron-: The OS does not need to recognize the DVD drive. The BIOS does. | 17:18 |
| atrius | anyone know off the top of your head what the command for the run dialog is? | 17:18 |
| bluestring | is there anyway to change how much brightness my brightness button changes? | 17:18 |
| daftykins | atrius: alt+f2 ? | 17:18 |
| Ron- | deadmund, any way out of this? | 17:18 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins yes i clik in the mobilphone "enable storage" | 17:18 |
| atrius | daftykins: well yeah.. but i was looking for what that launches | 17:19 |
| beandog | javierf_: did you run the install script? | 17:19 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, - that "--reinstall" command worked - never noticed that switch before THANKS! | 17:19 |
| deadmund | Ron-: Edit the BIOS to boot the ubutnu DVD first / instead of the HDD | 17:19 |
| daftykins | atrius: probably an obscure explorer switch | 17:19 |
| atrius | daftykins: k, i'll keep poking at it :) | 17:19 |
| javierf_ | beandog, that's what I though, but haven't done it before. I went into the folder where the script is, but don't know how to run it | 17:19 |
| ik | Hi internet friends | 17:19 |
| beandog | javierf_: went in there through a terminal? | 17:19 |
| javierf_ | I tried copying step by step the commands in the script on the terminal, but no | 17:20 |
| javierf_ | beandog, yes, through a terminal | 17:20 |
| daftykins | atrius: yeah i just fired it up and looked in task manager, in win7, it's lurking under explorer.exe! :) | 17:20 |
| ik | I'm installing w/ wubi and after the reboot, it tries to complete the install. Fails with "The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0)." and cannot mount: "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened." | 17:20 |
| beandog | javierf_: run python config.py | 17:20 |
| ik | So | 17:20 |
| ik | I already ran chkdsk and did a clean shutdown | 17:20 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins is need to install something more to the android works in linux?! i allready search in the www but i cant find nathing special :| | 17:20 |

| Ron- | deadmund, sorry. the probems is not being able to burn the dvd | 17:20 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: I cannot! I'm not on an ubuntu computer right now! :P | 17:20 |
| atrius | daftykins: i was thinking in Ubuntu :D | 17:20 |
| deadmund | Ron-: oh!! | 17:20 |
| stimoceiver | deadmund: oh, darn. | 17:21 |
| deadmund | Ron-: You should ask in #windows how to get your DVD recongized. Or make an Ubuntu USB | 17:21 |
| daftykins | atrius: lol, i responded to do with one OS then kept thinking on another - oops, sorry - Friday night for you ;) | 17:21 |
| stimoceiver | well thanks for helping me with this | 17:21 |
| beandog | Ron-: your bios probably has a "load boot menu" option once it starts up (probably F8 or F12). Bios startup message would display it. Go into that on startup of computer, then select DVD | 17:21 |
| Ron- | deadmund, don't have a usb. at #windows there was no help | 17:22 |
| atrius | daftykins: lol... true :D | 17:22 |
| riqdiiz | 1st installed ---->windows then -----ubuntu .then grub came up .Will i lose it if I reformat the windows partition ? | 17:22 |
| deadmund | stimoceiver: someone else can probably provide that file to you here in this channel | 17:22 |
| daftykins | D0lphin_: you shouldn't do, have you tried running "lsusb" in a terminal to see if you see the phone connected? | 17:22 |
| Ron- | beandog, the problem is with burning | 17:22 |
| err-or | Ron-: your windoze doesnt recognize your dvd drive? ^^ | 17:22 |
| ThinkT510 | riqdiiz: lose grub? no. lose windows? yes | 17:22 |
| beandog | Ron-: oh I misread you then | 17:22 |
| Ron- | err-or, exactly | 17:22 |
| doublequotes | Hi! I am running an ubuntu headless server over ssh and all of a sudden my double quote character (") and my bracket characters ([ and ]) aren't parsing correctly... | 17:22 |

| beandog | javierf_: I didn't even see an install file | 17:23 |
| Ron- | deadmund, so what will i do? | 17:23 |
| beandog | javierf_: I only saw three python files | 17:23 |
| beandog | *four | 17:23 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins that what i think i shoudnt..., yes it is enabled... te mobilhone says it detects the mobilphone and i have the option enable "enabled storage" in th emobilphone... | 17:23 |

| Ron- | err-or, it worked fine ealier in win 7. but not in win 8 (original). i checked the cables briefly tho | 17:23 |

| donofrio | also wondering if MagicJack (not standalone) works in WINE? | 17:24 |
| GrV | Hello guys | 17:24 |
| daftykins | D0lphin_: if you type "sudo fdisk -l" can you see a disk that's the right size that should be the SD card in your phone? | 17:24 |
| jrib | pavell: gedit & will start gedit in the background | 17:24 |
| beandog | javierf_: ah, okay, just run ./instlal | 17:24 |
| beandog | bah | 17:24 |
| beandog | ./install | 17:24 |
| pavell | jrid I know but the terminal itself doesnt do anything so I cant compile nor run any programs I wrote in gedit | 17:25 |
| javierf_ | beandog, that did it :) Thank you very much, I will remember how to do it for the next time :) | 17:26 |
| riqdiiz | I thought fdisk means floppy disk daftykins..?=-O | 17:26 |
| beandog | javierf_: np, and that's not standard, but whatever :) | 17:27 |
| daftykins | riqdiiz: heh no, fixed disk or format disk, partitioning utility | 17:27 |

| opakavic | deadmund: hmm, its black screen, a cursor is blinking and it has word boot | 17:28 |
| opakavic | should i press enter | 17:28 |
| donofrio | riqdiiz, you can always "man <command>" and it will return what it does (if an manpage entry exists) | 17:28 |
| jrib | pavell: if you start it with the "&" at the end, you'll be able to | 17:28 |
| opakavic | boot:_ | 17:28 |
| riqdiiz | in terminal? | 17:28 |
| opakavic | yes | 17:28 |

| D0lphin_ | daftykins sorry abou the time, i'm not a shure i got 4 places, windows | linux | linux swap | and other linux.... "not a shure what is this one" but i dont think it can be from the mobilphone because the space amount | 17:29 |
| stimoceiver | can someone who has successfully upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 please fpaste me a copy of /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info ? | 17:29 |
| stimoceiver | Thanks! | 17:29 |
| pavell | jrib thank you for your help I feel a little bit stupid (simple mistake) | 17:29 |
| bluestring | is there anyway to change how much brightness my brightness button changes? | 17:29 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins not a shure | 17:29 |
| riqdiiz | donofrio you can man < command > in terminal? | 17:29 |
| daftykins | D0lphin_: yeah that sounds like the phone isn't presenting the SD card, maybe there is a tickbox somewhere in your phone's settings - but other than that i have no idea, sorry | 17:30 |
| deadmund | opakavic: I'm not sure! I can't help! Sorry :( | 17:30 |
| D0lphin_ | daftykins that ok no poblem thank you. Is strange because they are detecting everything but lees the storage... and in windows is working fine to so from the mobilphone shud be :| really do`t know thank anyway :) | 17:31 |

| Frozenlock | TJ-: Perhaps I'm just doing something silly. I've added the additional IP to my wlan interface, with the same gateway as my main IP. Mask 255.255.255.0. On the top of your head, is there some additional I should take to make it available? Reboot? | 18:16 |
| Pici | moondoggy: git-core iirc | 18:16 |
| msp301 | moondoggy: Hey, I just run apt-get install git, which just grabs the latenst for your release | 18:16 |
| tyler_d | donofrio: my scheduled interupts are above 30k on average, causing my system to lag, furthermore causing my temp to be close to 100 C | 18:16 |
| moondoggy | That's odd. Mine didn't find git, said it was referred to in another package, but didn't elaborate. | 18:17 |
| swex | anybody help me please where to explore this bug: while in opengl game my usb mouse and keyboard become died, and keep this until I kill -9 X server | 18:17 |
| TJ- | Frozenlock: Where are you adding it? In the 'interfaces' file, or using nm-applet/ | 18:17 |
| moondoggy | msp301, Pici, I see git-core. That contains the original git? | 18:17 |
| moondoggy | I also see "gitk." Must be compatible with github, right? | 18:18 |
| TJ- | moondoggy: gitk is a graphical tree visualiser | 18:18 |
| TJ- | moondoggy: On 12.04 the package for git is "git". Previously it was "git-core" | 18:19 |
| === richard is now known as Guest95971 | ||
| moondoggy | TJ-, Ah, that's it. I'm on 10.04. | 18:20 |
| moondoggy | TJ-, can I then add gitk? They must be compatible, right? | 18:20 |
| msp301 | moondoggy: you can use gitk too, it all works fine | 18:20 |
| moondoggy | msp301, thanks. I'm still scared of computers from our old Digital Alpha, makefiles... | 18:21 |
| moondoggy | I'll try it. | 18:21 |
| TJ- | moondoggy: gitk is part of the git project | 18:21 |
| tyler_d | well that was a fail. | 18:22 |
| TJ- | moondoggy: It depends on the git-core package, which is the one you need to clone/pull/push from remote repositories such as github | 18:22 |
| msp301 | moondoggy: remember github is just a remote place to push your repositories to, local packages shouldn't cause much of a problem :) ... good luck :) | 18:22 |

| Calinou | normally they should | 19:07 |

| mystblade9 | ThePendulum: I do have flash drives. I misread your reply though, I could install Xubuntu 12.10 but want to try out the new Unity. | 19:50 |
| ThePendulum | mystblade9: If you just want to try it out, I'd recommend trying it in a VM or just using the live CD. I don't think Xfce will be still fully intact after an upgrade. | 19:51 |

| Xut | Aethelred: Not really working. Will check google | 20:34 |
| home-horim | hi, how can i make this? http://www.newsrssticker.com/images/tickr-extra-screenshot1.png i've an article but still need more help | 20:35 |
| ctjctj | Chotaz, upper right corner, off/on button. select system settings, go to system, select "software sources" go to "additional drivers" | 20:35 |
| home-horim | this is the beggining of how to make it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143219/how-to-run-multiple-instances-of-tickr | 20:35 |
| Chotaz | ctjctj: the mouse won't go beyong whats visible on the monitor. | 20:36 |
| ctjctj | slave_of_God, ls == dir, rm==delete, mv==move They are the command line commands to work with your files. Oh, and "cd" for change directory. | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | slave_of_God: mc? | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | slave_of_God: like Midnight Commander? | 20:36 |
| Xut | apt-get install --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" package it should be :) | 20:36 |
| slave_of_God | ctjctj, nevermind :-) I was looking for mc | 20:36 |
| ctjctj | Xut, thanks for completing the google. | 20:36 |
| Chotaz | ctjctj: I can see a small square with my desktop wallpaper in it then all the rest of the monitor is black I can't see any bars nor the unity launcher. | 20:36 |
| ctjctj | slave_of_God, I was being very sarcastic. | 20:37 |
| slave_of_God | gordonjcp, yeah :-) That's it thanks | 20:37 |
| EpsilonRose | Hi, would anybody mind helping me get a netgear wna3100 wirless usb adaptor working on a fresh-ish install of 12.10 (I've already tried setting it up, so I have wine and ndiswraper installed, but that's it)? | 20:37 |
| slave_of_God | ctjctj, didn't work for you :) | 20:37 |
| Xut | ctjctj: Sorry? | 20:37 |
| home-horim | anyone? | 20:37 |
| ctjctj | Chotaz, you are going to need to go to a command line/terminal. Then go to /etc/X11 and use a text editor to modify xorg.conf | 20:38 |
| slave_of_God | i <3 this channel | 20:38 |
| Chotaz | BluesKaj: ctjctj My approach would be to try and fix this from the command line (CTRL+ALT+F6) only I have no clue what to do. | 20:38 |
| ctjctj | Chotaz, oh thank goodness, not a noobe | 20:38 |
| Xut | darnit still not working | 20:38 |
| bobbyd3_ | \quit | 20:39 |
| ctjctj | Chotaz, go to cli, go super, ps ax | grep X and kill it. You might have to use service to kill gdm or whatever it is called in this version of ubuntu. | 20:39 |
| plustax | one more question. Is there any way I can watch netflix? | 20:39 |
| Chotaz | ctjctj: yeah I've been using ubuntu for some time now, not as extensively as some, but I know my ways around it, I've never had this problem with my graphics card, since 8.10 when I started using ubuntu. | 20:39 |
| home-horim | can anyone tell me how do i color them and space them and make them full screen and running well? | 20:39 |
| slave_of_God | Does anyone know any cool stuff you can install on ubuntu? | 20:39 |
| plustax | Is there some sort of workaround for their absurd block on linux users? | 20:39 |
| ctjctj | Once X is killed use the X with the configure option to create the xorg.cong in /etc/X11 | 20:39 |
| ctjctj | Edit that to your hearts content. | 20:40 |
| ctjctj | default open source use to be nv. | 20:40 |
| BluesKaj | Chotaz, do you have the nvidia GUI , alt+F2 , nvidia-settings ? | 20:40 |
| Chotaz | BluesKaj: yes I have nvidia settings | 20:41 |
| ctjctj | once you've got X running again you can then use the nvidia settings and additional drivers as described earlier. | 20:41 |
| Aethelred | Xut: the files in conf.d and conf.avail are config files for fontconfig. I'd try reinstalling fontconfig to recreate them. | 20:41 |
| ctjctj | (been here, done that, didn't even get the t-shirt) | 20:41 |
| plustax | can anyone help me? How can I possibly watch netflix on ubuntu?? | 20:41 |
| Chotaz | BluesKaj: but I cant see anything on the graphical interface | 20:41 |
| Xut | Aethelred: I did reinstall fontconfig and libfreetype6 | 20:41 |
| ctjctj | plustax, no help for that as far as I've learned. | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | Chotaz, is there no setting for resolution? | 20:42 |
| plustax | damnnn | 20:42 |

| ls612 | I bought a computer in the summer that qualified for the Windows Upgrade Offer, and now I dual boot it with win7 and Ubuntu. Would that cause any issues with the upgrade process? I asked this in the Windows channel and they said to try asking here. | 20:59 |
| BusyBoxes | ls612: No, not unless you did not have enough space in the partition. | 20:59 |
| grol | ls612: Upgrade to Win8? | 21:00 |
| EpsilonRose | BluesKaj, it already is, but when it tries to connect it just cycles the wireless grarphic for a bit and then there's a notification telling me it's disconnected and it asks for the password again. | 21:00 |

| BusyBoxes | ls612: You shouldn't have a problem upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8 on the same partition unless your running low on space. | 21:01 |
| BusyBoxes | EpsilonRose: Try manually connecting to the wifi network. | 21:02 |
| BusyBoxes | EpsilonRose: using iwlist etc. | 21:02 |
| ls612 | Well that isn't an issue, my windows partition has 500 gigs. The issue I see is that Windows hates GRUB and may not interact well with it in the upgrade process. I could delete my Ubuntu partition, back everything up, and reinstall afterwards, but that would be a pain. | 21:03 |
| grol | ls612: IF your computer has uefi instead of bios it will be critical. And updating windows will harm your boot-sector - critical to | 21:03 |

| zerowaitstate | well, depending on whether you are doing GRUB or UEFI boot | 21:31 |
| zerowaitstate | sorry, I meant BIOS or UEFI | 21:32 |
| zerowaitstate | the secure boot thing breaks GRUB, so you have to get the Windows bootloader to chain-load GRUB | 21:32 |
| bearly230 | I've disabled UEFI in the bios, I just want a single install of ubuntu not a dual boot. | 21:33 |
| EpsilonRose | BluesKaj, technically you don't need wine. I just used it to get the .inf file out of the .exe (rather than installing it on an other computer or find the files online). That command resulted in "FATAL: Module BCM43231 not found." | 21:33 |
| zerowaitstate | so you're using MBR partitions? | 21:33 |
| bearly230 | Trying to, same issue if I boot with or without uefi. | 21:34 |
| bearly230 | Boot cd see's the partitions I created, but it won't install or overwrite the drive during the installation. | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok EpsilonRose , ndiswrapper is supposed to work with .inf file inside it's "wrapper" so to speak | 21:35 |

| romnesia | systems7 when it boots, are you even getting a login prompt? | 21:52 |
| [twisti] | gordonjcp: do you understand from the context of that site what the identification IS FOR ? | 21:52 |
| systems7 | yes | 21:52 |
| systems7 | i get the login prompt | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: yes | 21:53 |
| Tex_Nick | romnesia ... I'd love to hear how it goes ;-) | 21:53 |
| [twisti] | is it like, the users i want to be able to log on the git server ? | 21:53 |
| systems7 | but i can't type | 21:53 |
| bearly230 | zero: it just shows /dev/sda | 21:53 |
| [twisti] | or is it the system users ? | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: that's it exactly | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: if you wanted me to access your server, you'd ask me for my public key | 21:53 |
| [twisti] | ah, i see | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | everyone can have my public key | 21:53 |
| bearly230 | zero: that's only for the boot loader. Doesn't display any other options. | 21:53 |
| romnesia | systems7: kinda looks like this ticket http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1166940 | 21:53 |
| [twisti] | thanks | 21:53 |
| zerowaitstate | bearly230: so it's not showing any partitions in the box above? | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: the trick is, the keys work in pairs and if you encrypt with one you must decrypt with the other | 21:54 |
| bearly230 | zero: correct | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: imagine a cashbox you can only lock with one key and unlock with a different key | 21:54 |
| zerowaitstate | what happens when you click "new partition table"? | 21:54 |
| [twisti] | oh for gods sake, i just want to commit a ten line source file | 21:54 |
| [twisti] | this seems a bit overengineered | 21:54 |
| bearly230 | zero: nothing just like the option is disabled. | 21:54 |
| systems7 | yes it does look like that ticket | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: what are you committing it to? | 21:55 |
| systems7 | but theres no anwser | 21:55 |
| zerowaitstate | bearly230: does it show "free space" below /dev/sda? | 21:55 |
| romnesia | systems7 I haven't run into that personally, but ping my name if you still need someone to bounce ideas off | 21:55 |
| === Kvakz is now known as Kvaks | ||
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: or rather, what exactly are you trying to do here? | 21:55 |

| [twisti] | to set up a git server | 21:55 |
| === Kvakz is now known as Kvaks | ||
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: right | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: well, if you're connecting to remote servers via SSH you probably want to be using sshkeys anyway | 21:56 |
| EpsilonRose | BluesKaj, Ok. In that case the only difference was that I use the -i command to install the .inf instead of the gui and I haven't rebooted yet. Would you like me to try that now? | 21:56 |
| [twisti] | gordonjcp: for a very loose definition of 'want' :| | 21:56 |
| bearly230 | zero: no free space no report of any kind. If I click on install now it reports no root file system is defined. Which makes since if it doesn't see any, and won't allow me to create any. | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: yes, it's a pain in the backside right now, because it's all new, you don't understand it, and you can't see where it's useful | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | [twisti]: stick with it and you'll see exactly why it's useful :-) | 21:57 |
| [twisti] | you know, if i turn off password login, and then end up unable to log back into my very remote server by the end of the night, im coming back here to yell at you | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | ah, don't turn off password login | 21:57 |
| [twisti] | why not | 21:57 |
| [twisti] | it seems like the logical thing to do if im learning how to use sshkeys anyways | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | because if you do that *and* make a pig's ear of installing your sshkeys, you'll lock yourself out of the remote server | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | been there, done that | 21:58 |
| [twisti] | and theres like 10,000 brute force login attempts every day | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | said lots of very rude words, many of which no-one within 100 miles of here have ever heard before | 21:58 |
| [twisti] | i think we actually have a recovery system | 21:58 |
| [twisti] | our isp is pretty awesome | 21:58 |

| zerowaitstate | and the device is still /dev/sda? | 22:03 |
| bearly230 | zero: yes | 22:03 |

| bearly230 | zero: yes I'm seeing them fine here. | 22:07 |

| elvis4526 | gogeta: Don't think so | 22:09 |
| elvis4526 | gogeta: They made specific changes to packages so they work well with hardware of nexus 7 | 22:10 |
| zerowaitstate | bearly230: try using the "create partition table" option from gparted, which should change everything to unallocated space. Do not create your partitions, though. Go to the install ubuntu program after that and let the installer create the partitions | 22:10 |
| gogeta | elvis4526: well they got display drivers something we lacked | 22:10 |
| javier_ | jjj | 22:11 |
| javier_ | yuyy | 22:11 |
| bearly230 | zero: I've tried that, using gparted removed all partitions, and tried to install with it empty, still wouldn't allow me to create partitions and never an option on boot of the cd to use entire disk. | 22:11 |
| gogeta | elvis4526: yep they do got a nook tablet version | 22:11 |
| systems7 | and it says dialout user group already exists? | 22:12 |
| gogeta | elvis4526: its in the xda devs | 22:12 |
| elvis4526 | gogeta: Oh i did not know | 22:12 |
| chllily | exit | 22:12 |
| zerowaitstate | how much unallocated space did it give you? | 22:12 |
| elvis4526 | gogeta: MS said that the nexus 7 would be the reference to test unity altough | 22:12 |
| bearly230 | zero: nothing was allocated, no partitions of any kind. | 22:12 |
| zerowaitstate | i mean in gparted, when it showed you the partitions | 22:13 |
| gogeta | elvis4526: yea im shure other tablets will come later there just using nexus 7 becous its the current top seller | 22:13 |
| bearly230 | zero: says 931gb unallocated | 22:13 |

| PatrickDickey | I've got an odd question. I'm on xubuntu right now (or at least the XFCE login session), and I don't have the bottom panel. When I close apps like Skype, they disappear completely (minimize also). How do I restore that panel (it hasn't been there since I upgraded). | 23:15 |

| PatrickDickey | david, what are you having problems with? | 23:16 |
| PatrickDickey | david_ * | 23:16 |
| david_ | i want to watch TV on my computer as i do on windows | 23:17 |
| david_ | by looking on internet i got 2 programs should do it | 23:17 |
| WXZ | _val_: I've already lost what I copied, will xclip show that anyway | 23:18 |
| david_ | ME TV or Kaffeine | 23:18 |
| PatrickDickey | What kind of tuner do you have? Or are you talking about watching Internet Only tv? | 23:18 |
| david_ | No DVB -s/s2 card | 23:18 |
| david_ | not internet TV | 23:18 |
| PatrickDickey | Right, what brand of card is it? It's a TV Tuner, right (you can hook the cable up to it). | 23:19 |
| blackshirt | patrickdickey, is xfce4-panel installed? | 23:19 |
| david_ | my DVB Card Model is " VP-3000" by Vision Plus | 23:19 |
| PatrickDickey | blackshirt, I'll check. | 23:19 |
| tkkrlab-bar | missie | 23:20 |
| PatrickDickey | in lspci, does it recognize the card? | 23:20 |

| PatrickDickey | david_ one suggestion that I have is to check http://www.linuxtv.org and search through their documentation (also search their mailing list archives). It *should* work, as it's using a Connexant chip (which is used in Hauppauge cards also), but that's not a guarantee. | 23:32 |
| elvis4526 | hahaha unity on my nexus 7 is pretty funny. | 23:32 |

| xbskid | Uh, interesting thing, here. I have an ubuntu 12.10 laptop that's been asleep for about three days. Just turned it on, and the screen is flashing a salmon color. | 23:34 |
| xbskid | Flashes once about every second | 23:34 |
| KM0201 | xbskid: restart and see if it goes away | 23:34 |
| xbskid | But that's the Microsoft approach! | 23:35 |
| WXZ | is there a way to view your clipboard history? | 23:35 |
| gogeta | KM0201: service lightdm restart the linux way | 23:35 |
| KM0201 | xbskid: no its not... if the driver for some reason didn't reload propperly after sleeping... that's a driver problem | 23:35 |
| xbskid | Boo drivers | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | gogeta: that could work to, but telling new peope to just restart is easier. | 23:36 |
| xbskid | There we go | 23:36 |
| bjrohan | Can someone help me troubleshoot why java is working on some page plugins, and not on others, especially on the same website | 23:36 |

| gogeta | KM0201: lol you the one that said thats the windows way | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | gogeta: no i didn't | 23:37 |
| KM0201 | scroll up | 23:37 |
| gogeta | xbskid: or that was you lol | 23:37 |
| david_ | <PatrickDickey> yes you right | 23:37 |
| david_ | i'm still looking | 23:37 |
| MonkeyDust | gogeta i said it, reboot = the windows trick | 23:37 |
| xbskid | gogeta: I would have had to ssh into the box to do that; I couldn't pull up a terminal, and I don't remember the SysRq commands. | 23:37 |
| PatrickDickey | david_ it might just be that no one has tested the card with the linuxtv subsystem. | 23:38 |
| gogeta | xbskid: to what reboot a box | 23:38 |
| n0sq | since upgrading my wife's laptop to ubuntu 12.10 and amsn 0.98.9, my wife has had trouble retrieving her e-mail from hotmail - instead of going directly to her mailbox MSN wants to know her phone number and/or alternate e-mail address - after entering her alternate e-mail address she gets a confirmation number but when that is entered she gets a message about not having billing info on file - so is hotmail charging for their service | 23:38 |
| n0sq | now? | 23:38 |
| PatrickDickey | xbskid: CTRL+Alt+ F2 if it opens to a console, login, then type sudo reboot | 23:38 |
| xbskid | gogeta: Yeah; I don't have those commands memorized | 23:38 |
| gogeta | xbskid: ctrl al f1 always will pull up a console unless the hardware is locked up | 23:38 |
| gogeta | xbskid: sudo reboot | 23:39 |
| david_ | and even on the dmesg shows to choose card # | 23:39 |
| xbskid | gogeta: No, the SysRq commands. And the hardware was locked up; I couldn't get to a terminal. | 23:39 |
| david_ | But I dont know how to choose one | 23:39 |
| david_ | of them | 23:39 |
| PatrickDickey | david_ that's because they haven't created a driver for it yet. Or they haven't put it into the cardlist yet. | 23:39 |
| xbskid | Is there a way to pin programs to the launcher from the overlay? | 23:40 |
| daninoz | hi, I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras with apt-get and it got stucked in flashplugin-installer | 23:40 |
| gogeta | xbskid: if the hardware is lock and no ssh response time to push the power buttion | 23:40 |
| david_ | i want to try some of them | 23:40 |
| david_ | but i dont know how | 23:40 |
| PatrickDickey | david_ try 86 It has the same device id as your card. | 23:41 |
| david_ | yes that one what i did | 23:41 |
| david_ | but i dont know what the command to use | 23:41 |
| david_ | or parameter | 23:41 |
| daninoz | i closed the terminal, and tried with dpkg --configure -a but it still get stucked | 23:42 |
| gogeta | david_: you walk over and turn it off | 23:42 |
| blackshirt | daninoz, what are you trying to config ? | 23:42 |
| david_ | HUH !! | 23:42 |
| gogeta | david_: its the humand peramanter lol | 23:42 |
| * PatrickDickey thinks gogeta meant xbskid not david_ | 23:42 | |
| daninoz | blackshirt: I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras with apt-get and it got stucked in flashplugin-installer | 23:42 |
| PatrickDickey | gogeta, he's trying to get a tv tuner working. It's not going to turn off by hand. | 23:43 |
| nerdsrus45 | I have an Nvidia GTS450 Video Adapter - and would like to get some better drivers. The drivers that are installed - well, not the best. Like in here there is a thick black line that goes across things. Is there a driver for the Nvidia out there that I can use? | 23:43 |
| gogeta | PatrickDickey: oh thats modprove bttv | 23:43 |
| gogeta | modprobe | 23:43 |
| blackshirt | daninoz, i think that stuck on downloading process | 23:44 |
| gogeta | PatrickDickey: that should turn it on | 23:44 |
| PatrickDickey | gogeta it's not recognized. He has to specify which card= for the driver to recognize it. | 23:44 |
| gogeta | PatrickDickey: bttv is most anlong models | 23:45 |
| nerdsrus45 | Another issue I have is with sound - I have the creative labs sb x-fi xtreme and I am not getting any audio coming from Youtube though I am getting music if I play an MP3 file | 23:45 |
| gogeta | PatrickDickey: the kernel should handel the rest being the driver is aruldy installed | 23:46 |
| trism | xbskid: drag and drop | 23:46 |
| gogeta | PatrickDickey: if you mean a dtv card then its a totaly diffrent matter | 23:46 |
| ahmeds | hi guys | 23:47 |
| adam_ | Hello all, I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and compiz is crashing on start up after installing ATI propriety driver (ATI Radion 5450 HD). I didn't have this problem when upgrading from 12.04 but it seems to be an issue from a fresh 12.10 install. Any clues are much appreciated | 23:47 |
| PatrickDickey | gogeta, his card isn't listed in the cardlist.cx28 file. So, it won't load a driver. There's a card # that has a similar device ID to his. He's trying to load that driver. | 23:47 |
| ahmeds | :) | 23:47 |
| ahmeds | this is my first time on IRC | 23:48 |
| blackshirt | ahmeds, good luck guys | 23:48 |
| ahmeds | thank you :) | 23:49 |
| blackshirt | ahmeds, i dont | 23:49 |
| ahmeds | i want to make new ubuntu 12.10 system for my school | 23:49 |
| ahmeds | how i can make ISO file ? | 23:49 |
| blackshirt | ahmeds, i dont play with compiz bit a deep anymore, maybe the others people can help you solves your problem | 23:50 |
| gogeta | ahmeds: http://www.howtogeek.com/109736/how-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-or-usb/ | 23:50 |
| PatrickDickey | david_ Your best bet is to subscribe to the linux-media mailing list, and ask there. They'll know whether your card works with linux or not (and how to specify the card= for it, if it does). | 23:52 |
| PatrickDickey | david_: the link to subscribe will be on the linuxtv.org site I gave you earlier. | 23:52 |
| WXZ | is there a way to view your clipboard history? (xclip doesn't do that) | 23:53 |
| ahmeds | and how i can change information in box features display when i install system ? | 23:53 |

| brady | my system is having some booting problems | 23:55 |
| brady | is there a drive checking utility i can use to see if my drive is corrupted or damaged in some way? | 23:56 |
| gogeta | brady: smart | 23:56 |
| PatrickDickey | brady gparted will check it | 23:56 |
| BluesKaj | brady, what's the symptoms ? | 23:56 |
| blackshirt | brady, fsck | 23:56 |
| brady | i restart, and it jumps into bios | 23:57 |
| brady | i restart again | 23:57 |
| * PatrickDickey scratches fsck into my head. I never remember the command line one. | 23:57 | |
| brady | bios again.. this goes on for a while, sometimes it boots to black screen , occasionally with some text too small to read on my projector | 23:57 |
| [twisti] | i added a bunch of vhost files, enabled them, restarted apache, but calls to www.vhost.com still go to www.maindomain.com, no errors or anything in the logs | 23:57 |
| brady | eventually, it manages to boot to ubuntu | 23:57 |
| [twisti] | ideas what to check ? | 23:58 |
| PatrickDickey | brady, when it goes into BIOS, does it see your hard drive? You'll have to look around for it maybe. if it doesn't, and then suddenly it does, that might be the hard drive, or it might be the controller on the motherboard (I'd lean towards the drive). | 23:58 |
| brady | do i just open a command line and type fsck? | 23:59 |
