| wilee-nilee | raj, Beyond what is in the repo? | 00:05 |
| raj | no, to the latest repo version | 00:05 |
| raj | my current node.js version is 0.5.5 | 00:05 |
| raj | I want the latest 0.8.x | 00:05 |
| [twisti] | ok, yeah, theres definitely something wrong with this package, its just a server module that responds via http, this should not require x11 and sound drivers to be installed | 00:06 |
| wilee-nilee | raj, is this not offered in the release you are running, and are you sure this version is in the repo? | 00:06 |
| === steven- is now known as DrGonzo | ||
| [twisti] | so is there any way i can get help with that or report a bug or something ? or am i just screwed and doomed to skip the package and do a manual install ? | 00:06 |

| jrib | [twisti]: try without installing recommends | 00:10 |
| cowsquad | hey friends, Is anybody experiencing white menus when you guys right click on the desktop, or on the little settings icon on the right top corner? | 00:10 |
| Razer_ | mmgc84: I have Audacity, but I can only record microphone input. I'm trying to figure out how to record the sound output, similar to "Stereo Mix" in Windows 7. | 00:10 |
| [twisti] | oh, recommends is another page, thats just the requireds | 00:10 |
| jrib | [twisti]: what? | 00:11 |
| [twisti] | suggested is a 2nd page of stuff | 00:11 |
| blackshirt | you can disable option to apt to not install recommended packages | 00:11 |
| [twisti] | or am i missunderstanding you ? | 00:11 |
| kostkon | Razer_, you need to install pavucontrol | 00:11 |
| jrib | [twisti]: apt-get will install recommended packages by default, try passing --no-install-recommends (or whatever the option is; see apt-get's man page) | 00:12 |
| kostkon | Razer_, then start recording in audacity, then open pavucontrol and you should see audacity listed in the recording tab. select the monitor of your soundcard as the source device | 00:12 |
| [twisti] | oh, 1 sec | 00:12 |
| [twisti] | still 50 different things | 00:12 |

| === monster is now known as Guest41251 | ||
| jrib | [twisti]: I guess you'd have to trace the dependencies yourself to realize why it's being pulled in, but I don't see what's the big deal about installing x11-common | 00:19 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, i don't know what it is.. I don't have play with unity anymore | 00:19 |
| ls612 | Hi. I'm intending to dual-boot win8 and Ubuntu 12.10, and I'd like to have my disk encrypted. My question though is first would this be possible and second if it is which encryption (BitLocker or the Ubuntu setup encryption) should I use? | 00:19 |
| cowsquad | what do you have blackshirt? | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | basketballstar, with a quick google I see this a portable dropbox for a usb. http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000409.htm | 00:20 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, xfce .... | 00:20 |
| cowsquad | xfce, is it better that unity? | 00:20 |
| [twisti] | jrib: im uneasy about something installing things that it clearly doesnt need, like x11 and sound drivers for a server module that runs automated builds | 00:21 |
| dr_willis | try the differnt desktops and decide for your self which one you like. | 00:21 |
| [twisti] | its not the end of the world, i just dont like it, because its so nonsensical | 00:21 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, for me yes | 00:21 |
| jrib | [twisti]: it's likely just some capability of the software you don't use/don't know about that requires it | 00:22 |
| jrib | [twisti]: it could also just be something that the jre packages require for whatever reason. I don't know | 00:22 |
| cowsquad | blackshirt, so that is xubuntu right? | 00:22 |
| jrib | [twisti]: is it pulling in the jre? | 00:23 |
| [twisti] | yes, and for some reason its pulling in BOTH (normal and headless) | 00:23 |
| Razer_ | kostkon: How would I go back to recording from the microphone? | 00:23 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, exactly, not full xubuntu system, i build it from scratch | 00:24 |
| kostkon | Razer_, just change the device from monitor to your mic for example, or any other input you want that is listed in the drop down menu. | 00:24 |
| jrib | [twisti]: do you already have headless installed? | 00:25 |
| kostkon | Razer_, if you leave the recording source to monitor pulseaudio will remember your choice the next time you open audacity, so yeah, if you want to change it back, do it before closing audacity. | 00:25 |
| [twisti] | jrib: yes, but jre7, not 6 | 00:26 |
| cowsquad | blackshirt, How do I extend a free space on my hard drive using disk utility? | 00:26 |
| [twisti] | of course, i would WANT it to run on 7 anyways | 00:26 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, thats a different topic ... Maybe better using gparted | 00:26 |
| willdabeast | Does anyone have some experience with 'Deepin'? I am wondering whether to switch to that as opposed to synaptic and ubuntu software center. | 00:26 |
| cowsquad | okay, thank you blackshirt | 00:27 |
| Razer_ | kostkon: so, while recording with Audacity, I have to change it to "Monitor of...", and then it will automatically switch to recording output, and I change it back to the other item in the dropdown to make it record microphone again? | 00:27 |
| cowsquad | blackshirt, im about to try xubuntu desktop out :) | 00:27 |
| kostkon | Razer_, yes, it works in real time, on-the-fly, don't worry, you can change devices any time you want during a recording | 00:28 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, good lucks guys | 00:28 |
| Razer_ | kostkon: Okay, well, it's not recording mic anymore at all, even if I change it to the option that isn't "Monitor of..." | 00:28 |
| cowsquad | thank you :) | 00:28 |
| kostkon | Razer_, hmmm | 00:29 |
| jrib | [twisti]: libjnr-posix-java seems to pull in x11-common, follow that if you want | 00:29 |
| [twisti] | not sure how you mean that | 00:29 |
| [twisti] | 'follow that' ? | 00:29 |
| willdabeast | Does anyone have some experience with 'Deepin'? I am wondering whether to switch to that as opposed to synaptic and ubuntu software center. | 00:29 |
| Razer_ | kostkon: the only options are, "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" and "Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" | 00:29 |
| jrib | [twisti]: you can follow the dependency chain if you are still not sure why libjnr-posix-java should depend on x11-common | 00:29 |
| blackshirt | willdabeast, deepin ? | 00:29 |
| [twisti] | oh | 00:30 |
| [twisti] | ill have to give it some thought | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | willdabeast: Deepin seems to be it'sown distro | 00:30 |
| willdabeast | actionparsnip is that right? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | willdabeast: http://www.linuxdeepin.com/ yes | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | there is a deepin software center for ubuntu | 00:30 |
| kostkon | Razer_, hmm. for a start, check the volume level of your mic | 00:30 |
| blackshirt | cowsquad, if you have experienced with apt system, you can switch your desktp env easily | 00:30 |
| jrib | [twisti]: actually it's probably just default-jre when that gets pulled in | 00:31 |
| test359 | hi | 00:31 |
| willdabeast | actionparsnip well there's also a deepin software center, that's why I asked, some people seem to prefer it. | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | willdabeast: try it is all I can suggest, it won't be supported here | 00:31 |
| jrib | [twisti]: if you can satisfy the dependencies regarding the jre beforehand and not let apt try to pick a jre for you, you might be able to avoid x11-common | 00:31 |
| kostkon | Razer_, you can do it in pavucontrol, just select the input devices tab | 00:31 |
| Razer_ | kostkon: Ahh, I found it. In the Input Devices tab, the Microphone was muted. | 00:31 |
| kostkon | Razer_, :P | 00:31 |
| [twisti] | how would i do that ? | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | willdabeast: could ask in #linuxdeepin | 00:32 |
| [twisti] | id rather everything that wants java use 7 anyways | 00:32 |

| wabash | ActionParsnip: Well, I liked gnome 2.x. It worked really well for me for programming. Gnome 3 does not; it gets in my way I feel. So I'm looking for what's closest to Gnome3: XFCE or LXDE. I use XFCE on Fedora now. It's a bit clunky sometimes. | 00:58 |

| mikubuntu | am i mistaken? i thought that microsoft had made .odt files readable on windows machines? i sent an official document/letter to a city office today and they replied saying that the file couldn't be opened and displayed this msg: "”The file 2012 11 1CityofCoralSprings cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.” | 01:27 |

| ActionParsnip | mikubuntu: libreoffice can export to PDF and you can then send that | 01:28 |
| intuxicated_ | i have an external sound card , name is EDIROL, it works fine, but if i unplug and plug it back system wont recognize it, any idea ? i try to restart alsa but no luck | 01:28 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, what groups guest says ? | 01:28 |
| Faceless | "filetransfer" | 01:28 |
| minas | ActionParnship: I edited /etc/default/grub, added acpi=off, sudo update-grub and now it works | 01:28 |
| minas | thanks again | 01:29 |
| mikubuntu | ActionParsnip: I know that, and I will -- but, still the question -- isn't microsoft SUPPOSED to be able to read .odt? | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mikubuntu: no idea, try asking in ##windows | 01:29 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, groups guest gives filetransfer ? | 01:29 |
| freetown2 | anybody here managed to get iOS 6 devices to print via cups? | 01:29 |
| intuxicated_ | no idea ? | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mikubuntu: and you mean MS OFFICE is able to read odt, Microsoft is a company, not a software | 01:30 |
| Faceless | yes, i added it to the "filetransfer"-group | 01:30 |
| mikubuntu | ActionParsnip: yes, OFFICE | 01:30 |

| ActionParsnip | mikubuntu: there is a difference | 01:30 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, so chown guest:guest wont work because there is no group guest | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | freetown2: can it connect to http printers? | 01:30 |
| mikubuntu | ActionParsnip: I HATE MICROSOFT | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mikubuntu: ok...... | 01:31 |
| Faceless | but when i TAB after "chown " my username fills in automatically | 01:31 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, when you create new user, the default group it creates is the same as the user name | 01:31 |
| cakeboss | Anyone have any ideas? | 01:31 |
| Faceless | so i should have entered "filetransfer:guest"? | 01:31 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, but you changed the default group by filetransfer | 01:32 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, chow guest:filetranfer | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cakeboss: what filename are you trying to mount? | 01:32 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, user:group | 01:32 |
| Faceless | ok | 01:32 |
| freetown2 | ActionParsnip, http printers? nope, it won't 'see' them because they won't advertise image/urf support | 01:32 |
| Faceless | but when i TAB at "chown gu" nothing fills in? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | freetown2: you could share the printer with samba, can the OS connect to windows shared printers? | 01:33 |
| freetown2 | except for one very new printer that we will soon put away | 01:33 |

| ActionParsnip | cakeboss: so its an image of a CD? Or something else? | 01:34 |
| freetown2 | ActionParsnip, yeah, not my choice either. schools here are kinda sold on Apple crap | 01:34 |
| Faceless | well, i expected it to fill in guest from gu | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | cakeboss: If it's a disk image, rather than an image of a fileystem, then you'll need to expose the partitions using kpartx first. | 01:35 |
| cakeboss | ActionParsnip: I converted a .vmdk to a .raw I am trying to convert it to a .iso...So I guess now it is just an image? | 01:35 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, sorry i've mistaken | 01:35 |
| Jordan_U | cakeboss: What is your end goal? | 01:35 |
| Faceless | np | 01:35 |
| cakeboss | Jordan_U: To convert this .vmdk to a .iso | 01:35 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, so when you do chown guest:filetranfer does it work ? | 01:35 |
| Faceless | no | 01:35 |

| cakeboss | Jordan_U: To see the contents of JanusVM. I am using: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/convert-vm-iso | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | cakeboss: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-mount-ntfs-vmware-virtual-disk-image-vmdk-readwrite.html why convert it | 01:36 |
| freetown2 | ActionParsnip, ahem, it works with iOS 5 but not with iOS 6 in which Apple has helpfully changed its printing | 01:36 |

| Faceless | alexfpms: uhm | 01:38 |
| freetown2 | ActionParsnip, nope. They now do urf instead of pdf -_- | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | cakeboss: Since the image is presumably of a virtual drive with partitions, and you mount partitions not drives, you first need to make the partitions accessible. That can be done with "sudo kpartx -a /path/to/disk.image". | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | freetown2: sounds greeeeeeat | 01:38 |
| Faceless | alexfpms: it seems like it worked now | 01:38 |
| alexfpms | Faceless, do you know that you have to run it as root ? | 01:38 |

| ActionParsnip | freetown2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12254866 | 01:38 |

| TCorwin | Quick question, does anyone know if Ubuntu provides free CD Distributions for advertisment and such? | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mibr001: copy the output then go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there, hit paste then when the page changes, copy the new address bar and paste that here | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mibr001: its not very much to do with terminal, so being 'good with the terminal' isn't important | 02:20 |
| mibr001 | sorry i read the wrong comment there :) | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | TCorwin: you can download Ubuntu for free,or buy CDs at the Ubuntu shop or even on Ebay if your connection is slow | 02:20 |

| TCorwin | ActionParsnip and wilee-nilee: I'm doing a presentation to promote Ubuntu and help current users with basic issues in 12.04 and 12.10. i was mainly looking for promotional CDs that they would provide. | 02:22 |
| willdabeast | how can I check in terminal whether I have openGL on? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | TCorwin: how would they be different to the ISO you can already download....for free | 02:23 |
| somethinginteres | ActionParsnip: I've been getting X crashes with nvidia current on my Geforce 8800. | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mibr001: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libdjconsole-data_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mibr001: find the source of the package and report the bug, there are duplicate files and the package manager doesn't like that | 02:24 |
| TCorwin | ActionParsnip: I don't have any blank CDs. And i was curious if they provided free CDs for promotional reasons.Apparently not though. | 02:25 |
| OerHeks | TCorwin, some country's do have local teams to give away cd on promotion events. latest 12.10 doesn't fit on a cd+r anymore. | 02:25 |

| torontoyes | I mean.. there are some things I would love to over write | 02:26 |
| torontoyes | I am hung in my boot process with a black screen | 02:26 |
| torontoyes | I'm clueless what to do | 02:26 |
| TCorwin | OerHeks: Iwas looking for 12.04 LTS on a CD+R. And thats why i asked, cause i am part of a group, just without any CDs. | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | torontoyes: you could install over the top but you'll probably get issues. Far neater and more likely to get fewer issues with a reinstall then restore data from backup | 02:27 |

| ActionParsnip | torontoyes: once you get the data. 1, backup your so called 'important'stuff. then 2. Backup the stuff REGULARLY | 02:29 |
| torontoyes | ActionParsnip: Understood | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | torontoyes: boot the VM to a live CD and you can mount the partition and access the data | 02:30 |
| torontoyes | ActionParsnip: what do you mean? | 02:30 |
| torontoyes | I can run the vmware image from live cd? | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | torontoyes: I can't phrase it much differently, make the VM boot to the ISO and you can mount the partitions on the virtual drive and access the data | 02:31 |
| torontoyes | ohh | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | torontoyes: can you see how much easier this would be if you had a backup | 02:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest51505: ext2 will cause fewer writes but doesn't have a journal. Ext4 has a journal but will write more | 02:52 |

| ubottu | totallylost: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:52 |

| Mayhew | exonarthex: Ubuntu non-LTS releases are glorified betas. I would just use 12.04, or wait until 12.10.1. | 03:18 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you might want to read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 03:18 |
| mibr001 | person with graphics problem who were you | 03:18 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you can have a /home partition without LVM, but LVM has other advantages, also has disadvantages though | 03:19 |
| philllllijw | psusi, what are the disadvantages | 03:19 |
| psusi | philllllijw, Windows doesn't recognize lvm volumes... it's a bit more difficult to setup | 03:19 |
| mibr001 | and i just fixed my problem yay! i uninstalled djplay my problem was from a completely different application now im fixing and updating libraries and im good | 03:19 |
| balleyne | Just upgraded to 12.10, and when I open Gwibber, I just see a blank grey area where my updates used to be. When I click Accounts, nothing comes up (and I don't see Broadcast Accounts in Settings anymore). Used to have Twitter and Identi.ca accounts configured, MIA now... | 03:20 |
| philllllijw | psusi, I probably don't need all the fanciness LVM provides | 03:20 |
| psusi | philllllijw, the normal gui Ubuntu installer doesn't support it so you have to do some command line management basically | 03:20 |
| psusi | philllllijw, but if you're comfortable on the command line, it has some significant advantages, especially if you tend to use multiple disks and multiple Linux installs | 03:21 |
| mibr001 | who did i tell id be right back log off click the ubuntu symbol on the password box select ubuntu 2d and log in you should be ok | 03:21 |
| mibr001 | now that my computer isnt having a seizure good night my friends | 03:22 |
| philllllijw | psusi, i'm doing a netinstall and i'm fairly comfy with cmdline. | 03:22 |
| psusi | philllllijw, then you might like the features LVM provides... see the wiki entry I wrote for more info... but if you just want a separate /home partition, you can get by without it | 03:22 |
| philllllijw | psusi, I'll just separate /home for now. Any idea if I can do that easily through the curses interface? | 03:23 |
| psusi | if you find yourself occationally setting up partitions to install Linux distros to for testing, resize partitions or move them between disks, then lvm may be for you... otherwise, might not be worth the bother | 03:23 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you can do that easily with the regular GUI Ubuntu installer | 03:24 |
| === Kvakz is now known as Kvaks | ||
| philllllijw | psusi, I dont have any intentions of installing various versions of linux. I do watn teh option to overwrite my installation without losing my /home directory though | 03:24 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you can do that just fine without LVM | 03:25 |
| psusi | philllllijw, just create a /home partition with the regular gui installer and set it to be mounted at /home | 03:25 |
| philllllijw | psusi, ok, I can't seem to figure it out using the installer | 03:25 |
| balleyne | how can I compare my Ubuntu install to a default install? I feel like I'm missing some recommended packages... | 03:26 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you also don't need a separate /home partition to keep your home directory if you reinstall Ubuntu... just choose manual partitioning, configure the /home partition mount point, and DON'T check the format box | 03:26 |
| psusi | philllllijw, you can even reinstall and preserve your home directory without having a separate partition if you want these days | 03:27 |
| psusi | you just have to chose manual partitioning, and do NOT check the format box is all | 03:28 |

| hoylemd | Hey, I'm having a problemw ith my ubuntu server's ftp. I'm trying to PUT a file to my home directory, but i keep getting 550 permission denied errors, even though i'm the directory owner. Anyone know why this might be happening? | 04:22 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, when you ls the $HOME dir, is there a + at the end of the permissions? | 04:23 |
| hoylemd | you mean when i ls+l it? | 04:23 |
| hoylemd | ls -l rather | 04:23 |
| |Anthony| | sure... ls -l ls -laX | 04:23 |
| |Anthony| | what ever floats your boat | 04:24 |
| |Anthony| | ;) | 04:24 |
| hoylemd | oh, because when i ls-l it, i just get the directory listing. only file/directory names | 04:24 |
| hoylemd | so the strict answer to your question is no | 04:24 |
| |Anthony| | sudo getfacl -R /home/insert_username_here | 04:25 |
| |Anthony| | or just getfacl -R blah blah | 04:25 |
| hoylemd | command not found | 04:25 |
| |Anthony| | i doubt you would have an acl without having set it up though | 04:26 |
| |Anthony| | ah k | 04:26 |
| hoylemd | got acl. it listed a lot of stuff | 04:26 |
| |Anthony| | this is your server, or someone else? you own the physical machine? | 04:26 |
| hoylemd | it's my linode | 04:27 |
| |Anthony| | mmm | 04:27 |

| |Anthony| | like ftp does | 04:29 |
| |Anthony| | or do you only have ftp access | 04:30 |
| hoylemd | haven't tried scp | 04:30 |

| elbeto | my wallpaper is dissapearing, i have to reset it every time i turn my computer on. I am using xubunu 12.10 | 04:30 |
| |Anthony| | fooey... even using clonezillas preferred method of installing on a usb drive (tuxboot) it still fails for me | 04:33 |
| akis | hi all. can i ask something? in update manager at software sources should or should not be checked the followings: Canonical Partners, Canonical Partners (surce code), Indipendent and Indipendent (source code)? | 04:33 |
| devish | does alsa base.conf exist here in 12.10 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 04:33 |
| devish | i am unable to find it | 04:33 |
| hoylemd | scp isn't working either | 04:33 |
| |Anthony| | machine still says it | 04:33 |
| |Anthony| | s not a bootable disk | 04:33 |
| hoylemd | not even giving any feedback | 04:33 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, have you tried ssh? idk you might want to contact linode to see what their connection and authentication standards are | 04:34 |
| |Anthony| | obviously you have ssh access... lol | 04:35 |
| hoylemd | i have ssh access, and I'm 99.9% sure it's not a linode problem | 04:35 |
| jtrucks | anyone used rsyslog setup with tls? if so, any ideas on getting around an error like: error adding our certificate. GnuTLS error -64, message: 'Error while reading file.' | 04:35 |
| hoylemd | I'm getting dumb error messages from scp now | 04:36 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, you have sudo rights, right? | 04:36 |
| hoylemd | it's saying the file i'm uploading isn't a directory? | 04:36 |
| hoylemd | of course | 04:36 |
| |Anthony| | so theoretically you could adduser and see if it is just that you borked the file perms | 04:37 |
| tomreyn | jtrucks: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/tls_cert_errmsgs.html -> GnuTLS error -64 | 04:38 |
| hoylemd | my user definitely has write access to that directory | 04:38 |
| tomreyn | jtrucks: but no, i have not done it before | 04:38 |
| philllllijw | how do I open the damn console in unity? | 04:38 |
| tomreyn | philllllijw: do you mean a terminal window? | 04:39 |
| jtrucks | tomreyn: yeah, I'm working off that page, but thanks for helping out | 04:39 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, you're able to mkdir and touch and all that | 04:39 |
| philllllijw | tomreyn, aha, yes! I was searching for 'shell' or 'console' and forgot the word term apparently | 04:39 |
| === morphis|away is now known as morphis | ||
| hoylemd | THERE WE GO. man pages are too hard to read. The problem was that my scp syntax was wrong. | 04:40 |
| hoylemd | but i'm still at square one: ftp is giving me access errors that don't make sense | 04:40 |
| tomreyn | jtrucks: ok, i'd try to check the file format with openssl, this can be easier to handle even though it's also not great | 04:40 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, which ftp client? | 04:40 |
| tomreyn | philllllijw: sounds like you went thrugh a long term search phase | 04:41 |
| hoylemd | filezilla and just the ftp tool | 04:41 |
| hoylemd | same problem either way. | 04:41 |
| jtrucks | tomreyn: oh, duh, openssl is a good suggestion. thanks :) | 04:41 |
| |Anthony| | but filezilla is able to connect, just can't move or upload files | 04:41 |
| |Anthony| | you can still crawl the directory tree | 04:41 |
| hoylemd | yes | 04:42 |
| tomreyn | devish: were you asking whether a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf is part of any package in 12.10 ? | 04:42 |
| tomreyn | devish: if so, you can either use apt-file or the web interface at http://packages.ubuntu.com to find out. | 04:43 |
| |Anthony| | hoylemd, what about downloading a file from the server? | 04:43 |
| hoylemd | works | 04:44 |
| tomreyn | akis: which of these repositories you use is very much up to you and your preferences. | 04:47 |
| hoylemd | i think i have a vsftpd configuation messed up | 04:47 |
| hoylemd | yeah, looks like i had "write_enable=YES" commented out | 04:50 |
| hoylemd | now i just ahve to figure out how to restrt vsftpd and i should be good | 04:50 |
| |Anthony| | sudo restart vsftpd | 04:51 |
| |Anthony| | i'm used to openssh | 04:51 |
| hoylemd | woohoo! fixed it! | 04:52 |
| hoylemd | hey... i bet that's what was wrong with my wordprss thing! | 04:52 |
| syntroPi | Any ideas how i could get sdhci_pci into the ubuntu server installer kernel to install it onto usdhc card? | 04:52 |
| akis | tomreyn: i understand and i know that. by default i can see that they are checked (at other software) Indipendent and Indipendent (source code)? why Canonical Partners, Canonical Partners (source code) aren't checked by default and what do they provide me if i will check them. will they provide me something important? | 04:52 |
| tomreyn | akis: canonical, the company behind ubuntu, has some contracts with other companies which make proprietary software. the results of these contracts are available in this repository. | 04:54 |
| tomreyn | it includes one variant of adobe flash player and reader, i think. | 04:55 |
| syntroPi | is there any location where i could browse the available kernel modules for ubuntu server installer kernel? | 04:57 |
| akis | tomreyn: thank you for clarification. so do i have to check them, am i loosing something important if i leave them uncheck (default) or should i check them? | 04:57 |
| tomreyn | akis: i couldn't tell what's important to you | 04:59 |
| akis | tomreyn: ok. i c. i leave them uncheck as default. | 05:01 |
| === Guest54859 is now known as dingobongo | ||
| tomreyn | akis: (as an example) here's a list of packages in the partner repository for 12.10 x86_64: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/partner/binary-amd64/ | 05:07 |
| tomreyn | you can also browse the directory structure of the extras ("independent") repositories this way. | 05:07 |
| akis | tomreyn: i realized that ubuntu center installed a 2nd Canonical Partners (other software) source and it was checked. Can i safely remove this duplicate source and leave the default which was created by the system's installation and leave it unchecked as default? | 05:11 |

| akis | well. another little thing. in a netbook i freshly installed xubuntu 12.04. on that netbook i have 3 users accoutns. from the time i start use the system i cannot fix the keyboard layout. i mean that the system could not remember after every logout or restart the change layout options (alt+shift etc) of my keyboad layout so i had to reenter them or to use the mouse to click on flag to change the keyboard language. after googling for hours i found | 05:38 |
| akis | the advise to make an autostart application with the following command line /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option grp:switch, grp at_shift_toogle us,gr. this method seemed to be working only for one of the 3 users without issues, but not for the other 2 users, althought when i am logging in those accounts inittially works and after i am opening some application stops workink. also in layout properties still cannot save the option alt-shift or whatever i | 05:38 |

| roracle | I'm at work right now so I can't operate with anyone regarding troubleshooting. However, I have recently installed 12.10, but I cannot seem to get my Nexus 7 to connect via MTP device. Does anyone know anything about this? I found an article regarding 12.04 but the solution doesn't work for 12.10. | 06:16 |
| wilee-nilee | roracle, I use gMTP | 06:17 |
| wilee-nilee | runs rather clunky but works | 06:18 |
| roracle | and it works like a charm? | 06:18 |
| roracle | oh | 06:18 |
| roracle | lol | 06:18 |
| roracle | what do you mean clunky? that has various implications haha | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | roracle, Takes about 30 seconds to fire up but works, | 06:18 |
| roracle | oh that's cool. thanks wilee-nilee | 06:18 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem | 06:18 |
| === mudit is now known as dimtu | ||
| roracle | i have to say, I HATED unity for a long time, but i find the new version of Ubuntu is pretty sweet. i think Unity needs to include google searches along with system wide searches (can't search for apps by default, you MUST click the "app" icon which is cumbersome) | 06:19 |
| roracle | it also needs an option to move Unity to the bottom of the screen...makes it seem less intrusive | 06:20 |
| f00dMonsta | I"m just hoping hardware vendors will supporting linux more | 06:20 |
| mmgc84 | uhhhh I used xubuntu now debian + xfce, never been a unity fan | 06:20 |
| mmgc84 | +1 f00dMonsta | 06:20 |
| f00dMonsta | like printing... I can't use half the stuff my printer offers with linux | 06:21 |
| roracle | mmgc84: you say this as if it was 1998 all over again. ;) | 06:21 |
| f00dMonsta | granted that half is stuff I rarely use, but still! | 06:21 |
| roracle | regarding the hardware support | 06:21 |
| mmgc84 | hw support suck$ | 06:22 |
| roracle | sorry, i meand food monsta | 06:22 |
| roracle | i suck at this typing stuff apparently | 06:22 |
| f00dMonsta | well it's alot better now, I know | 06:22 |
| roracle | how do you guys feel about Valve porting some Steam games over? | 06:22 |
| f00dMonsta | but still lacking polish on the drivers and software | 06:22 |
| * roracle wants native Skyrim | 06:22 | |
| f00dMonsta | I'd love it | 06:23 |
| f00dMonsta | but I'm stuck with Windows for now | 06:23 |
| roracle | i'm stuck with Ubuntu for now haha. My Windows ALWAYS crashes. I can't push it at all without it tipping over | 06:23 |
| roracle | and all i do is game on Windows, and now I'm having to back off games for the sake of stability | 06:24 |
| f00dMonsta | windows is stable enough for me | 06:24 |
| roracle | i think i need a solid state hard drive...my problems with windows is my constant downloading/moving/deleting files and eventually my hard drive just craps out on me | 06:25 |
| f00dMonsta | BT would kill SSD pretty fast | 06:25 |
| f00dMonsta | :O | 06:26 |
| roracle | BT? | 06:26 |
| m3pow | hello ! | 06:26 |
| m3pow | :) | 06:26 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest84846 | ||
| roracle | hola | 06:26 |
| m3pow | got an issue here in LibreCalc. I tried to load an .xslx file that has loads of comments | 06:26 |
| roracle | but what do you mean BT? | 06:26 |
| roracle | bit torrent? | 06:26 |
| f00dMonsta | bittorrent? :o | 06:27 |
| m3pow | the comments are not hidden, i have to manually hide them in order to see my cells | 06:27 |
| roracle | how would that kill a SSD? | 06:27 |
| m3pow | any workarounds ? | 06:27 |
| f00dMonsta | mmm I guess I didn't think that through properly... BT wouldn't kill SSD lol | 06:27 |
| roracle | sorry m3pow i don't know anything about that. i prefer using Libre for everything from the get-go. that way i don't run into those problems going from one comp to another | 06:28 |
| m3pow | thanks roracle | 06:29 |
| f00dMonsta | I was thinking of the constant index searching would kill a HDD, I got it the wrong way around | 06:29 |
| m3pow | or...can i copy paste ONLY the info from the cell and exclude the comment? | 06:29 |
| f00dMonsta | Why not try that then? :P | 06:29 |
| m3pow | yes but how to exclude the comment | 06:30 |
| ASHER1 | Hey i need please help about Upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 11.10 LTS | 06:30 |
| m3pow | the cell gets copied, usually WITH the comm | 06:31 |
| ASHER1 | where i can find guide about this? | 06:31 |
| Cong | that would be 12.04 and don't upgrade, backup and install, ASHER1 | 06:33 |
| roracle | asher: copy all your home files and do a fresh install. it's usually easier to reconfigure things than to back track trying to find what broke. ;) they called me the Format King back in the day lol | 06:34 |
| mmgc84 | I quit playing f00dMonsta, and YES roracle win do SUCKS big time! | 06:35 |
| extropy | Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS is configured to bring up the HUD if you press "Alt L" <- not a valid key combo, needs to be "Alt+L" ... | 06:36 |
| extropy | so on every copy of 12.04 going out ... pressing Alt-LEFT in firefox (in less than 1 second) brings up the HUD *AND* sends the browser "Back" | 06:36 |
| extropy | not sure why "Alt L" == "Alt+Left" ... yet "Alt+L" does nothing ;) | 06:37 |
| Cong | what about in 12.04.1? | 06:37 |
| extropy | you can plainly see in the Settings dialog that its missing the "+" | 06:38 |
| extropy | Cong: are you saying this has been fix? | 06:38 |
| extropy | ed | 06:38 |
| Cong | no | 06:38 |
| food1 | roracle, Just your window get ugly ... right? | 06:38 |
| extropy | how do I get my build #? | 06:39 |
| roracle | my windows? it crashes and burnnnnnns! i had to install Ubuntu to get my sanity back | 06:39 |
| roracle | and i'm loving 12.10 by the way, did i mention that? | 06:39 |
| extropy | I was just going to Ubuntu->Help->About but all it says is "12.04 LTS" | 06:39 |
| food1 | roracle, My system freezes , after idle for serveral hours ... Installed a kernel... Just testing if it does again | 06:41 |
| extropy | food1 kind of sounds like a hardware problem. Does memtest report any errors? | 06:42 |
| food1 | extropy, i did not do memtest yet. I also think it maybe hardware or kernel issue ... But i really need to reboot if it happened once | 06:44 |
| Cong | I tried Haiku the other day and my computer glitched like Windows does. I think it's my computer overheating. | 06:44 |
| mmgc84 | back up Cong! | 06:45 |
| extropy | random crashes in my experiences are almost always a memory error ... boot your computer with the LiveCD (might need server now, can't remember) and run memtest ... if your memory has an error it'll tell you, just let one cycle pass (takes a while) | 06:45 |
| mmgc84 | for me random crashes are never memory related ! | 06:46 |
| extropy | Cong if your computer overheats I believe the hardware will fail to boot at all, might not be the case for all hardware | 06:47 |
| mmgc84 | memory fail, _replace_ | 06:47 |
| extropy | mmgc84: exactly | 06:47 |
| extropy | -_-_' | 06:47 |
| mmgc84 | if you have 2 boards try swapping x) | 06:48 |
| mmgc84 | ubuntu newbie talk sorry x) | 06:48 |
| Cong | I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 for 2 months and I've had no problems with glitches or crashes. | 06:48 |
| food1 | extropy, Server LveCD? | 06:48 |
| extropy | I think so, yeah | 06:49 |
| mmgc84 | I use debian testing and no crashes | 06:49 |
| Ascavasaion | When I try to download the deb package for Flash through firefox it asks me if I want to open it with aptURL. I say yes and then it tells me that it cannot find channel precise-partner. Any ideas? | 06:49 |
| extropy | I know it has memtest but I think they might have pulled it from Desktop | 06:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, If you want flash install the restricted-extras for your desktop, it also has some extra media codecs and ms fonts. | 06:50 |
| extropy | Every time I build a new machine now I run memtest before I do anything else now ... memory errors are common enough to want to save myself the trouble of having something go wrong later. | 06:50 |
| mmgc84 | when using xubuntu 810 ... 12.10 most of the time very stable, every fuckup it mostly my fault | 06:51 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: I have done that and have flash installed. But sites I go to all tell me that my flash is outdated. | 06:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, This with chrome | 06:51 |
| food1 | extropy, pm please? | 06:52 |
| mmgc84 | its just stupid Ascavasaion ! | 06:52 |
| extropy | seems like the only time I ever have problems they're fix by the next release and never actually my fault | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | wildc4rd: Chromium and Firefox. | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | oops | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: : Chromium and Firefox. | 06:53 |
| extropy | case in point "Alt L" bringing up the HUD when it should be "Alt+L" can anyone tell me if that's still a problem in 12.10? | 06:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Ascavasaion, Are you using a script block like noscript? | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | mmgc84: I have to agree. | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | wilee-nilee: If I am I am unaware that I am. | 06:54 |
| extropy | and why does "Alt L" in the config register as "Alt+Left" in the first place? | 06:55 |
| Cong | maybe Alt L(eft) | 06:56 |
| extropy | and what does the HUD even do? only just noticed that it seems to be some kind of macro interface or something. | 06:56 |
| Cong | the HUD is the new way to execute programs. if you remember the name you shouldn't be looking around for it in a menu | 06:58 |
| mmgc84 | ahhhhhhh the HUD, I remember now x) | 06:58 |
| extropy | how is the HUD different from the menu you get when you press the Windows key? | 06:58 |
| extropy | I think the hud should come up when you press the "~" key ala IDSoftware Tech engine | 06:59 |

| * Cong help | 07:15 | |
| mmgc84 | uhhhh I havent tried that in a lot of time | 07:15 |
| mmgc84 | google Archaical | 07:16 |
| Archaical | did brother, first thing i did and hit it hard for 6 hours, if you search winbind capitalize you will find every post i've made and they are the only ones. | 07:16 |
| Archaical | reason being is if you use template homedir = /path/share/%U ubuntu sets that username wildcard to the lowercase version of the name that is connecting. | 07:17 |
| Archaical | because that is how the username is handed to samba via winbind. | 07:17 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest38118 | ||
| Archaical | so if winbind is downgrading the names is it because its set that way in adduser.conf? i say no because i've already set the uppercase names in adduser.conf | 07:18 |

| Archaical | BlackWeb: would you mind terribly telling me if my solution worked for you? | 07:37 |
| valleycat | lol | 07:37 |
| extropy | did you upgrade to 12.10 or do a fresh install? | 07:38 |
| Ascavasaion | As usual, Linux fails the bar and does not allow me to view Flash... Sigh. | 07:38 |
| BlackWeb | Archaical I'll give that a try, Which i was looking into commenting out the function recordfail | 07:38 |
| extropy | more like "Adobe fails" xD | 07:38 |
| valleycat | upgrade | 07:38 |
| Archaical | yea but you dont really want to change the 00_header file because it will be changed on the next update of grub. | 07:38 |
| extropy | Adobe doesn't support PowerPC either ... it's quite annoying | 07:38 |
| extropy | You might try doing a fresh install. Seems like there's a lot of room for things to break with that upgrade process. I never do it because it takes hours >.< | 07:39 |
| extropy | someone with more intimate knowledge might be able to fix the problem though | 07:40 |
| valleycat | :/ | 07:40 |
| greylurk1 | Gah, my touchpad just stopped working randomly. | 07:40 |

| the_dark_knight | hey guys, I want to run multiple instances of my worker class. So I am trying to do http://www.bpaste.net/raw/sPr0GRCVX6DjDcEOvq4z/ . I want to send a number/id to my worker and then identify it with that number for later purpose. Basically I want to run some number of workers and identify them with an id by using a single worker.py file. How Do I do that? please help | 07:44 |
| BlackWeb | Alrigth hold on I was checking /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:44 |
| extropy | how do you kill the mouse in X? wasn't it like "killall gpm" or something? *nostalgia* | 07:45 |
| Archaical | BlackWeb: not there, /etc/default/grub is the file to change | 07:45 |
| Archaical | BlackWeb: make sure when you are done editing that file you run update-grub and update-grub2 when you are done. | 07:46 |
| ryannathans | i get home, turn my machine on and we have a 'waiting for network' message on the purple ubuntu screen, it's a problem with the machine and not my network. I've traced it back to a few lines in /etc/network/interfaces that configure my infiniband card for ip networking | 07:48 |

| Archaical | literally paying a crispy 5 dollar bill to the person who successfully answers my question with an answer the produces the results i need. The question, how do you force winbind and samba to recognize uppcase names and report them to the system uppercase. for more detailed information see my post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2078563 | 08:03 |
| Archaical | and payment is made via paypal. | 08:03 |
| extropy | is these a DNS thing? | 08:03 |
| the_dark_knight | llutz_: where do I get his uid. can't get it from last and w | 08:04 |
| llutz_ | the_dark_knight: id username | 08:04 |
| extropy | isn't ActiveDirectory *hugely* dependent on DNS? | 08:04 |
| _cronus_ | the_dark_knight, yes, that shows uid, try auxf | 08:04 |
| ryannathans | *headbutts computer* | 08:05 |
| ryannathans | i give up on ipoverib | 08:05 |
| Archaical | no, the samba box is in a domain enviroment, users are connecting with Capitalized names like Tester and FranklinW and the ubuntu system sees them as tester and franklinw and thus makes a home folder which is lowercased for those users, now, when the users roaming profile is copied to the samba server share, its copied with the capital letters and thus the home folder isnt the same as | 08:05 |
| Archaical | the roaming profile directory. | 08:05 |
| extropy | I see, that would be annoying | 08:05 |
| extropy | and you changed the configuration for SMB, right? | 08:05 |
| extropy | is there a command you need to run to flush Samba's old confige and restart with the new one? | 08:06 |
| extropy | like sudo service samba restart ... or something? | 08:06 |
| Archaical | Yes, to include template homedir = /path/%U which for user Tester would be /path/tester and when a roaming profile is made, its made like so, /path/Tester and for ubuntu /path/tester is not same as /path/Tester | 08:06 |
| Archaical | did the flush already | 08:07 |
| extropy | maybe the problem isn't Samba ... what creates the new user's home directory for Samba does it just run "adduser" or something? | 08:08 |
| Archaical | a little more digging determines that when a user attempts to connect in a domain enviroment, winbind a sub-service of samba is retrieving the user names from the PDC and making a fake passwd file so that the users name is stored locally. when it does this it makes that lowercase name in this fake passwd instead of the uppercase name. and then samba from there takes that name. | 08:08 |
| Archaical | already configured /etc/adduser.conf to incorporate capitalized names | 08:08 |
| extropy | does adduser's config need to be reloads (I wouldn't know) | 08:09 |
| extropy | *reloaded | 08:09 |
| Archaical | i'm fairly certain right now its a setting with winbindd or nss_info but i've LITERALLY read the entire manual for both (and i swear to go i will NEVER doubt how verbose a computer programmer can be when writing a manual) and i've gotten no where. | 08:09 |
| the_dark_knight | llutz_: _cronus_ , but where do I get the user name? user1 from last and w doesn't work when I do "ps xjf -u user1" | 08:09 |
| Archaical | i've reloaded the adduser.conf as well =D | 08:09 |

| the_dark_knight | llutz_: I can see user1 in "last" and "w" but not in ps tree. does this mean he is logged out? btw your command with other logged in users works fine. thanks | 08:12 |
| Archaical | I will test that to confirm right now, good point. | 08:13 |

| syntroPi | iceroot, id guess swap is only used for one uptime keys for that could be dynamically generated at boot time and remain in RAM? correct me if im wrong... | 08:24 |
| iceroot | syntroPi: thats the question, i am not exactly sure how it works but swap is encrypted after a suspend too, so because of that i would say its a normal key on / | 08:26 |
| llutz | syntroPi iceroot wouldn't that make encrypted swap senseless? | 08:26 |
| iceroot | llutz: yes | 08:26 |

| _cronus_ | iceroot, it seems it works as you described | 08:33 |
| extropy | so adduser is creating working usernames with caps? | 08:33 |
| Archaical | Aye | 08:33 |
| Rootbrian | lowercase is the thing. Must be a bug. | 08:34 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| iceroot | _cronus_: sounds very unsecure in my opinion | 08:34 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, not really, since the keys are not stored on disk. | 08:34 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, root can always read memory. | 08:35 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: but how does a suspend work in that case? | 08:35 |
| Archaical | thing is, since this is a domain environmnet, when a user attempts to connect to the samba shares, samba uses winbind to grab the usernames list from the primary domain controller and pulls them down to a temporary passwd file which is stored on the system and updated regularly. this file is viewable in a sense via typing getent passwd which will then return a list of all users this samba | 08:35 |
| Archaical | shared system recognizes as valid. all the usernames are lowercase even though the usernames on the primary domain controller are capitalized. | 08:35 |
| extropy | sounds like maybe winbind is misconfigured | 08:36 |
| Archaical | since they are shown lowercase in that file when a users homedirectory is mapped, its mapped with lowercase, however Windows makes the roaming profile directory Uppercased in accordance with the actual usernames and therefore the two dont mix. | 08:36 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, suspend does not stop the memory but hybernate does not work properly | 08:36 |
| llutz | iceroot: it doesn't without tweaking as an article on help.ubuntu.com shows | 08:36 |
| Archaical | thats what i said. | 08:36 |
| Archaical | but i've read the man page regarding winbind back to front. | 08:36 |
| extropy | maybe it's a bug? | 08:37 |
| Archaical | it better not be. | 08:37 |
| extropy | the other thing that always gets me: typos, also order of operations (where applicable) | 08:37 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: but how can the system reach the memory again, when the system is suspended? | 08:37 |
| linux_noob | none here? | 08:37 |

| iceroot | llutz: thx | 08:38 |
| Archaical | lol Rootbrian: many are here, few will answer =D | 08:38 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, that's hardware. maybe check with #hardware | 08:38 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: thats not a hardware feature, and its ##hardware :) | 08:39 |
| Aerosonic | Is local IP address assignment random or sequential? | 08:39 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob there should be an option to disable the detection of secure boot by pressing F6 when at the boot launcher. | 08:39 |
| Aerosonic | Like, 192.168.1.23 | 08:39 |
| Archaical | sequential if you are asking what i think you are asking. | 08:39 |
| Archaical | however the IP address handling system/device will sometimes reserve IP's for systems that are offline based on lease times etc. | 08:40 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: if that works, what I mentioned previously. | 08:40 |
| linux_noob | @Rootbrain all I get is the bios screen, then the message, no boot launcher | 08:40 |
| linux_noob | brian* | 08:40 |
| lxf_ | linuxmint | 08:40 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: boot from the CD or liveusb, whichever you made, but ensure the boot order in the BIOS is set to hard disk being last. | 08:41 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, power states are set by hardware. software uses acpi to switch power states. i wasn't trying to set off the conversation by mentioning hardware, i just think that it has more to do with the hardware field. | 08:41 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Already done. Still does not seem to work for me. | 08:41 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob are you booting from CD or liveUSB? | 08:42 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: yes, maybe i have to read what "wake up from suspend" is doing | 08:42 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: liveUSB | 08:42 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: what is the boot order? Also, ensure the bios can even boot from a usb device. | 08:43 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: the interesting part is how does the hardware knows what to restore and how the system is then reading the encrypted swap. maybe its very easy and everything is stored in ram including the swap-key | 08:44 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: I've had it work in the past, one second though, it's possible I've made a error when putting Ubuntu on to the USB. | 08:44 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: use unetbootin. That usually works best. Format the usb drive first. | 08:45 |
| Rootbrian | once done, boot using the 'install ubuntu' option to skip the desktop. | 08:46 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Thanks, have tried unetbootin a few times. I think it's an issue with administrator priviledges on the computer I'm using to make the USB. Always have problems when creating a USB on Windows. | 08:46 |
| bitbuzzer | /msg nickserv identify buzibuz | 08:46 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: my mistake was that i thought the ram is also encrypted but its only swap | 08:46 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Will let you know if it works this time around. | 08:46 |
| Aerosonic | bitbuzzer: You could type /ns id buzibuz | 08:46 |
| bitbuzzer | Aerosonic: thanks | 08:47 |
| iceroot | which brings up another question :) | 08:47 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: login as administrator if you're having issues, or run as administrator. | 08:47 |
| iceroot | /tmp is using tmpfs and if i am correct, tmpfs is only stored in ram and not the hd? | 08:47 |
| the_dark_knight | hi can I assign an id to a command. Say when I do "python sample.py" (and this execution will run something). I want to assign some id to this execution. can I do it with setsid. | 08:49 |
| iceroot | the_dark_knight: you want to execute the script as another user? | 08:50 |
| _cronus_ | iceroot, i believe, and this is just my personal opinion on this, that encryption is a measure mostly useful against offline forensics | 08:50 |
| the_dark_knight | iceroot: no the current user. but say I want to remember the execution. suppose sample.py will have some content that will go on running. so I will check if it is running with that id later. something like that. | 08:51 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: is the process pid sufficient for your purposes? | 08:51 |
| iceroot | _cronus_: i think so too. i am fine when my home is encrpyted because there are important data, the rest is unimportant for this system | 08:51 |
| iceroot | the_dark_knight: so you want to start the program and want a id for that task. thats the PID | 08:52 |
| iceroot | the_dark_knight: there was a command to start a program and get its PID but of course i cant remeber that command | 08:52 |
| Rootbrian | iceroot: safest way to secure a system when not in use (when sleeping) is to disable the network device. | 08:52 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: yes. but it will change for every other execution , i guess. I want to do it like "python sample.py --id 10" | 08:52 |
| the_dark_knight | iceroot: refer my comment to kushal_kumaran . | 08:53 |
| iceroot | Rootbrian: you can steal laptops and for that case i need protection | 08:53 |
| Rootbrian | Iceroot: encryption and thief proof, yes. | 08:53 |
| Rootbrian | iceroot: I was under the impression it was internet related until it was a laptop. | 08:54 |
| Rootbrian | *About a laptop | 08:54 |
| iceroot | Rootbrian: no, i have virtual machines on this laptop and these are very important because they are workstations for the customer | 08:55 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: is the code in sample.py in your control, or are you running someone else's application. If it is yours, have it create a file /tmp/<id>.lock and take a lock on it. Then you can check if the process is running using the flock command. | 08:55 |
| micjan02 | i think my firefox profile might've gotten a little corrupt. how can i export and import it back again (i do not mean copy ~/.mozilla, i mean import/export)? | 08:55 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: techniques used in writing typical unix daemons might be helpful: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/daemonize | 08:57 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: but then again the id here PID will be unique but not fixed. say I want to hardcode 5 id's with corresponding five executions. something like that. | 08:57 |
| Rootbrian | micjan20: If you mean saved passwords, there is an addon to do so. There is an option within firefox to restart with addons disabled in the Help menu. | 08:57 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: lemme check your link. | 08:57 |
| Rootbrian | iceroot: now I understand the situation. I would be that cautious if it was a setup like that | 08:58 |
| iceroot | Rootbrian: and encrpyted home is working fine without any issues, so its a very good way i think | 08:59 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: so with daemonize I can assign the pid manually right? | 08:59 |
| Rootbrian | iceroot: I never encrypt mine due to not much valuable info being in it. Mostly videos and utilities I found from old hard drives that had windows on them. :) | 09:00 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: so what will the test.pid file have? | 09:00 |
| subdesign | hey | 09:00 |
| subdesign | if apt cant find i want to install and recommends something, how can I easily grab the suggestion (and no to type in) ? | 09:01 |
| subdesign | *not to | 09:02 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: pid cannot be changed. If you want your program to behave differently according to given argument, then you just write your code that way. Don't see how the OS could provide any special support for that. | 09:02 |
| greenit | hi, would any1 be as nice to subscribe this petition? http://www.change.org/petitions/arenanet-inc-consider-development-alongside-the-wine-project-3 would be nice if there is a linux-compatible gw2-client. please don't see this as an advertisement, i just try to get 2-3 more people to sign it, at least because they want to support the growth of gaming-software on linux :) | 09:02 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: do you know anything about supervisord of python | 09:03 |
| the_dark_knight | ? | 09:03 |
| Rootbrian | greenit: maybe also share it on identica and other social networks, other IRC's? | 09:04 |
| Rootbrian | subdesign: highlight it, right click > copy, shift-insert to paste it. | 09:05 |
| greenit | Rootbrian: yeah, i'll do :) | 09:05 |
| subdesign | Rootbrian, ok thx :) | 09:05 |
| subdesign | so no automated command built in. np. | 09:06 |
| overclucker | the_dark_knight: why not write the pid to file? | 09:06 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: no, but I'm sure the fine folk over on the mailing list at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users do | 09:06 |

| Loay | i want to purchase the IBM laptop in this configuration order Cheap cost + Low configuration + light weight. which model number of IBM is good for me ? | 09:11 |
| phuc | dm tui bay | 09:12 |
| phuc | noi cai cc gi | 09:12 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: I suggest comparing all of them. If speed is what you desire, go for the fastest. Storage and ram can always be upgraded. Check ebay for supplies of aftermarket batteries, if none, don't buy it. | 09:12 |
| Loay | ok thanks for suggestion. can you please suggest more on this configuration. | 09:13 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: Include amazon and other shopping websites. Ebay isn't the only one. It's just my primary choice, as to why I suggested it. | 09:13 |
| Loay | thank you dear | 09:14 |
| overclucker | the_dark_knight: there are plenty of ways to do that. one would be to have each process create a pid file in a directory, and then write a script to collect process information for each pid file in the directory. | 09:15 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: if that is all you want, then have your program print out its pid as the first thing it does, and then use that pid for monitoring. | 09:15 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: for a comfortable and speedy system, 2.4 GHz or faster CPU, (dual core or higher, or just dual core) 2GB-4GB of RAM. Hard disk, easily obtained at most computer stores. 80GB is good enough for the conscious user. | 09:15 |
| vedic | I have lost the pass phrase of my secrete key. I have revokation key and public key. How to revoke the key so that I can generate the new one. I haven't uploaded my keys to the public key server | 09:16 |
| Loay | ok , and my main concern is that Light weight and Low configuration. | 09:16 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: there isn't much you can customize on a laptop unless it was being made at the factory for you, before and during production. | 09:16 |
| Loay | because i have already laptop for good configuration but that is above 3 kg | 09:17 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: overclucker , yes that seems a good way. | 09:17 |
| [deXter] | Loay, Why IBM? | 09:17 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: the lighter you go, the likely fact is, the lower the specs will be. | 09:17 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: lenovo is now ibm since they took over. | 09:18 |
| Loay | [deXter]: many suggest IBM laptop and i am part of the IBM partner company. | 09:18 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, you may want to take a look at start-stop-daemon man page | 09:18 |
| Loay | Rootbrian: ok | 09:18 |
| the_dark_knight | syntroPi: lemme check | 09:19 |
| Loay | could you please give a good web link for that | 09:19 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Back after trying again. Same error immediately after boot. "Secure boot not enabled" | 09:19 |
| Loay | ? | 09:19 |
| [deXter] | Loay, I would suggest Dell, never had any issues with Linux on it, everything works out of the box - suspend, hibernate, Fn keys, brightness keys, wifi everything | 09:20 |
| the_dark_knight | syntroPi: hey is it like upstart. cos I am already using upstart. but Is there any way to give a fixed id to a service | 09:20 |
| Loay | ok , i am also linux admin. | 09:20 |
| ryannathans | hahahaha | 09:20 |
| ryannathans | admins. | 09:20 |
| Loay | please give me the dell laptops website link.... | 09:20 |
| Loay | [deXter]: do you have any laptop linkx for dell? | 09:21 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, it can be used to "daemonize" console programs such as creating pidfile and such | 09:21 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: I'm not sure what else that can be done. Can I suggest burning a live CD on a CD-R/RW disc and booting from it and trying again? | 09:21 |
| syntroPi | its not sysV or upstart its a wrapper | 09:21 |
| [deXter] | Loay, just go to dell.com and take your pick | 09:21 |
| Rootbrian | Loay: http://www.dell.com/ | 09:22 |
| Loay | ok | 09:22 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Unfortunately, no optical drive on this laptop. Only option is USB. | 09:22 |
| [deXter] | Loay, if you want a good value for money, look for machines that have AMD Fusion APUs like the AMD E-450 | 09:22 |
| Loay | ok | 09:22 |
| Loay | AMD is best processor? | 09:22 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: connect a usb cd drive maybe? | 09:22 |
| [deXter] | Loay, if you're on a limited budget, yes. | 09:22 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Thanks anyways for the help, I'll look in to it further. From what I have found so far it's a new feature included in Ubuntu 12.10 | 09:22 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, in the past it was often used to integrate console programs as services in sysV init scripts easily | 09:22 |
| linux_noob | Rootbrian: Don't own one. | 09:22 |
| Loay | [deXter]: ok got it | 09:23 |
| Rootbrian | linux_noob: I suggest now using 12.04.1 LTS. | 09:23 |
| _cronus_ | the_dark_knight, there is no way you can ask the kernel fro a specific pid. there is no such option in the kernel | 09:23 |
| the_dark_knight | syntroPi: but can I assign my own pids? | 09:23 |
| === uksysadmin is now known as itarchitectkev | ||
| the_dark_knight | _cronus_: i get it. I 'll refrase my question with updated requirements wait. | 09:25 |
| ryannathans | when you ssh into a computer you get information about the system state | 09:26 |
| ryannathans | how cna you get that again withuot reconnecting | 09:27 |
| Rootbrian | ryannathans if it's cached, yes. I haven't used ssh before. | 09:27 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, nope afaik the kernel does that, but you can let it create a pid file in /var/run for the child process with it | 09:27 |
| the_dark_knight | _cronus_: syntroPi , kushal_kumaran , here is my sample.conf for upstart http://www.bpaste.net/raw/kpGVFaV8o3wIhao8lH63/, and here is sample.sh http://www.bpaste.net/raw/watm7BM9rEzkX4amlHcF/ . Now I want to execute Worker.py in sample.sh some number of times and keep them up and running with sample.conf of upstart. Now It is ok with only one "python Worker.py" line from sample.sh but how do I do it with multiple executions. | 09:29 |
| krobelus | hi, I run 12.04 live (from xp parition booted with grub4dos) i use the persistent flag and setup casper-rw ext2 partition that is quite small. Q: How do I merge the ext2 casper-rw in the squash to free up space and maybe move it to another system? | 09:31 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, you have to for them to background and keep track of the pid's | 09:31 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: see the upstart cookbook at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ for jobs with multiple running instances | 09:31 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, maybe you can use the "&" operator to fork it to background and then use LASTPID=$(echo $!) for tracking pids | 09:32 |
| Rootbrian | krobelus: Mount the windows xp partition, move the data in the /home/ folder to a folder, then remove the filesystem? | 09:32 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: this section, specifically, should help: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#instance | 09:32 |

| Rootbrian | juniour: yes, that is your best way to do so, if it doesn't work, what blazemore recommended. | 09:42 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: when you start a job you will do this: start sample BAR=1, then run start sample BAR=2, etc. this will make upstart start multiple instances of the "sample" job like these: sample (1), sample (2), etc. | 09:42 |
| syntroPi | the_dark_knight, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8279848/supervisord-adding-multiple-processes-for-php-and-gearman | 09:43 |
| Rootbrian | slim_ bring it to a repair shop to replace the screen. It will have to be jailbroken and it's apparently nearly useless without it. | 09:43 |
| Rootbrian | slim_: useless without the touch screen | 09:43 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: so in my sample.conf should I write " exec sample.sh -${BAR}" or "exec sample.sh ${BAR}"? | 09:45 |
| the_dark_knight | syntroPi: this is exactly what I want. good. thanks | 09:45 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: there is no need to actually *do* anything with $BAR. just having the instance keyword is sufficient. | 09:46 |
| the_dark_knight | syntroPi: how do I install this supervisord? | 09:46 |

| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: oh i get it. | 09:46 |

| roracle | when i use multiple monitors, i prefer moving my mouse between screens, and unity is in the way visually | 10:15 |
| Rootbrian | roracle I believe it's latched to the left. It can be hidden though. | 10:15 |
| livingdaylight | I'm using gnome-shell. Is it possible like one used to previously in gnome2 to have the time/date give time of various locations? | 10:15 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: the supervisord mailing list will have several people more familiar with supervisord. It is a rather specialized piece of software that most people will not be familiar with. You can join that mailing list, and search their archives at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users. If you're going to use supervisord with any seriousness, you should subscribe to that mailing list. | 10:15 |

| Touhou11 | roracle: I don't think it's configurable like that | 10:16 |

| roracle | what? | 10:16 |
| roracle | i find that very very very very very very very very very very very very very very hard to believe | 10:16 |
| roracle | just saying, you know...open source stuff is hardly "locked in and you can't change it" | 10:16 |

| roracle | lol true dat | 10:18 |
| roracle | yeah that method doesn't work in 12.10 | 10:18 |
| Rootbrian | roracle best to use 12.04. | 10:19 |

| rupran | good morning guys, do you know why there are no debug packages for the i386/amd64-architecture available for the kernel versions 3.2.0-{30,31,32} at http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ ? is this on purpose or just due to oversight? | 10:19 |
| Rootbrian | roracle: possible bug? | 10:19 |
| Volatile | so, any thoughts on how on earth flash can cause me a kernel panic? Seems kinda odd. (And has only appeared on ubuntu.) | 10:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | roracle, http://askubuntu.com/a/33674/10616 <-- look at that answer there | 10:19 |
| MestreLion | Rootbrian: not a but... moving the launcher was never an official or supported feature | 10:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | roracle, Rootbrian: Mark stated it probably wont happen because its not part of their larger design goals | 10:20 |
| vitimiti | (·_·)/ | 10:20 |
| Volatile | \☃/ | 10:20 |
| Rootbrian | Volatile: it did the same thing when recording a video two days ago to me. It said "restarting system due to security issue" and it forced a reboot. | 10:21 |
| MestreLion | TheLordOfTime: that was my answer, which I already posted to him :P | 10:21 |
| roracle | For crying out loud. I like the new Ubuntu and all, and it's perfect in so many ways, but ONE TINY LITTLE THING I am not allowed to change or have official support for wanting to change it? The one...ONE single thing that I would like to change is the ONE thing they've made a huge hubub deal about??????? | 10:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | MestreLion, i'm assuming he's not reading ;) | 10:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | roracle, mind keeping the attitude polite? | 10:21 |
| Rootbrian | roracle: that's the reason why I don't use unity anymore. | 10:21 |
| roracle | I'm quite polite. I'm not the one 'not supporing' a feature that should be supported lol | 10:22 |
| Volatile | Rootbrian: my computer stopped X, whined about something with DRM, and when I pressed anything, I got a core dump and kernel panic. No restarts here, just pure brokenness. :) | 10:22 |
| MestreLion | roracle: you can always disable the launcher and install another customizable launcher, like AWN | 10:22 |
| roracle | I think they did it on purpose. Yeah, I'll get involved with this so-called "design" process. | 10:22 |
| Rootbrian | Volatile: probably an issue with adobe flash. | 10:22 |
| roracle | I used to think Mandrake did things on purpose just to irritate us, now it's Ubuntu doing it. ^_^;;; | 10:22 |
| Rootbrian | Volatile: or X fighting with flash player. | 10:23 |
| bkerensa | roracle: the volunteers here have attempted to help you and unfortunately you do not like the answers they have offered unless you have another support question please keep in mind this is a support channel | 10:23 |
| MestreLion | roracle: Ubuntu is a distribuition. You can still customize it any way you want | 10:23 |
| MestreLion | roracle: if you don't like the lack of customizability of the launcher, don't use the launcher. | 10:24 |
| roracle | bkerensa: your attitude is ridiculous toward me. | 10:24 |
| mestari | i think debian is better than ubuntu | 10:24 |
| roracle | i'm trying to customize it, but it seems i'm locked in. none of those are "solutions" to my problem, they're "work around"s | 10:25 |
| Rootbrian | roracle: let's be calm. Might want to take it up with canonical. | 10:25 |

| nsanee | I wanted to install ubuntu 12.10 using Wubi, but it behaves weird since it doesn't download anything, prompts for a reboot. After reboot it starts installation but freezes soon after, since it didn't download anything, nor did I have any ISO on my hdd. Tried downloading 12.10 ISO to the same folder, also doesn't help. Any ideas? | 10:25 |
| lesshaste | in precise I get Package biber is not available, but is referred to by another package. . Is this a bug? | 10:26 |
| roracle | okay so what's a link i can go to so that i might involve myself in commenting on the design process? | 10:26 |
| MestreLion | roracle: You have a much more powerful solution: CHOICE. If the launcher does not please you, *use another launcher* ! There are several available in Software Center | 10:26 |
| Rootbrian | lesshaste: search for it within ubuntu software centre or synaptic if it's installed. | 10:26 |
| Touhou11 | roracle: Canonical have been quite closed about the design process these days... it's their way or the high-way typically. I suggest using an alternative more configurable desktop if you don't like Unity | 10:26 |
| MestreLion | roracle: you are not "locked in" to that launcher, or to anything in Ubuntu | 10:26 |
| lesshaste | Rootbrian, I did apt-cache search biber.. is that the same? | 10:26 |
| bkerensa | roracle: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1200 or speak with mhall119 on IRC. | 10:26 |

| === Harry is now known as Guest54323 | ||
| lesshaste | bkerensa, good point :) | 10:34 |
| lesshaste | for some reason pdflatex can't find biblatex.sty. What is the environment variable that controls where it looks in linux? | 10:34 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, ^^ | 10:34 |
| lesshaste | jpds, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/884210 | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 884210 in linux (Ubuntu) "PCI/internal sound not working randomly, random hangs: "cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86" shown in syslog" [High,Confirmed] | 10:35 |
| lesshaste | jpds, that's a typical example. Nothing happens | 10:36 |
| Rootbrian | wubi is best used with internal hard disks, as far as I know. | 10:36 |
| jpds | lesshaste: Kernel bug, has to be fixed by the upsteam kernel developers. | 10:36 |
| Rootbrian | sorry if I didn't get the username, things don't get cached on jmirc. | 10:36 |
| domie | how visible is the performance difference between wubi and real partition on hdd? | 10:36 |
| lesshaste | jpds, right.. so that's mostly the reaction I get... someone upstream ought to fix it and then nothing | 10:36 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: do you have the meta package for biblatex installed? | 10:36 |
| siavoshkc | what does upstream means here? | 10:36 |
| siavoshkc | what does upstream mean here? | 10:37 |
| VlanY | cairne: when you iconize smth on 12.10 the fading effect is much slower, i would like it to be fast as in 12.04 if possible | 10:37 |
| cairne | i thought wubi only works on internal, since its a windows installer and is pretty much a virtual disk isnt it? | 10:37 |
| jpds | lesshaste: And you have to install one of the packages in: $ apt-file search biblatex.sty | 10:37 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: thats a upstream bug | 10:37 |
| Rootbrian | domie: I'm not really sure. Wubi uses an image I believe. Not as good as an actual partiiton. | 10:37 |
| jpds | lesshaste: So forward it upsteam! | 10:37 |
| MestreLion | siavoshkc: "upstream" in open-source development means the original developer of a given package | 10:37 |
| the_dark_knight | kushal_kumaran: need your expertise. | 10:37 |
| lesshaste | jpds, sure but this was my point | 10:37 |
| jpds | lesshaste: Anyway, you probably want to install: texlive-bibtex-extra. | 10:37 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: notably it is reported upstream to Red Hat since its a Red Hat bug so lets not blame Ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| the_dark_knight | I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/u8qTdIxF3vFRPlMY49YB/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf . Now when I do sudo service supervisor restart it restarts, but I don't see my Worker.py running when I see it like "ps -ef | grep Worker.py" . basically I want *numprocs* number of gearman workers to be always up and running. how do I do that? please help! | 10:38 |
| domie | Rootbrian, yeah, it uses a root.disk file, but im just wondering how much faster it would move if it was installed on a real partition | 10:38 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, thanks the problem is that I had a strange mix of tlmgr installed and apt-get installed stuff it seems. I can fix it now I think. Thanks | 10:38 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: you will find people familiar with supervisord on the supervisord mailing list at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users | 10:38 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, the point is just that red hat fix things and ubuntu passes it upstream :) | 10:38 |
| rupran | i really need the linux-image-dbgsym packages for a project of mine, preferably for the most recent kernel in precise (3.2.0-32), but the ones for 3.2.0-30 through -32 are not available in the ddeb repo... is that a bug? | 10:38 |
| Rootbrian | domie: probably very fast, as fast as the USB speed is, 48 megabytes per second (480 megabits is the rating) | 10:38 |
| siavoshkc | MestreLion: can you explain more please? | 10:39 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: that is a upstream bug and Red Hat marked it WONTFIX | 10:39 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, I saw :( | 10:39 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, so I suppose ubuntu should do the same? | 10:39 |
| Rootbrian | domie: I believe USB is faster than IDE/PATA/ATA. | 10:39 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: Plenty of bugs are fixed every single cycle... I fixed about 10-15 a cycle myself. | 10:39 |
| MestreLion | blazemore: ok, it looks like the deb was installed. what would be the command to check its status? (since apt-cache policy works only for repo packages, not deb ones) | 10:39 |
| cairne | VlanY: I think you can adjust things within the compiz manager but the delay may be a graphics card issue | 10:40 |
| VlanY | cairne: even tought i used 12.04 with the same hardware? | 10:40 |
| Rootbrian | vlany it depends on the GPU speed of the graphics card too. | 10:41 |
| MestreLion | siavoshkc: the "upstream" of a given software is the original developer of that software. When we say a bug is an "upstream bug" it means the bug is present in the original code, it is not a fault of ubuntu's integration | 10:41 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, that's great! thanks | 10:41 |
| cairne | VlanY: I know they made some changes to how unity works for 12.10 as they did away with the 2d animation, its possible that its using a 'virtual' gpu through your cpu and not using your gpu | 10:41 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, it is true that ubuntu has fewer devs than red hat though right? | 10:41 |
| MestreLion | siavoshkc: and "forward upstream" means "instead of just reporting the bug to Ubuntu, also report it to the original developer" | 10:42 |
| bkerensa | lesshaste: yes and I can't discuss this here if you wan't to discuss it please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:42 |
| siavoshkc | Ubuntu is based on Red Hat? | 10:42 |
| lesshaste | bkerensa, sure | 10:42 |
| cairne | VlanY: not sure if this is what you are talking about but this might help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu-12-10-minimize-animation | 10:42 |
| nazghoul | hey | 10:42 |
| Rootbrian | ubuntu is based on debian. | 10:43 |
| VlanY | cairne: it's weird cause when i drag arund a window it's very smooth... btw i'm using the integrated VGA on i5 processor (should be ati HD3000 or smth like that) how can i see if it's actually using that GPU? | 10:43 |
| nazghoul | how i can make xchat shows me the users in left or right panel | 10:43 |
| MestreLion | siavoshkc: no, Ubuntu is based on Debian, altough some software in the repository may have been developed by Red Hat | 10:43 |
| nazghoul | or i cant? | 10:43 |
| siavoshkc | Thats what I thought | 10:44 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: no idea... better asked at #xchat | 10:44 |
| siavoshkc | Thanks | 10:44 |
| cairne | VlanY: did you install the ati drivers, if its one of those cpu/gpu combo's like for laptops and now some desktops, i have not encountered that before, not sure how to switch to that | 10:44 |
| dzup | hllo i install the ubuntu precise kernel that runs optimuze for multimedia apps, i can not recall whats the name of that but my cpu just runs way too hot, how can i disable and return to the normal kernel? am using presice amd64 | 10:45 |
| VlanY | cairne: no i didnt install any proprietary or custom drivers so far, i just installed 12.10 yesterday. Btw it's a desktop PC, not a laptop. Do you think i would have to install custom drivers? | 10:45 |
| Rootbrian | dzup: do you have a kernel selection before booting? | 10:46 |
| dzup | Rootbrian, i erase all previous kernel, sorry i dont | 10:46 |
| kushal_kumaran | the_dark_knight: if you want to use upstart, try a config file like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326072/ (let's call it gearman-worker.conf), and then run sudo start gearman-worker GRMAN_INST=1 | 10:47 |
| asdfDude | Hello guys, im trying to recover my external drive, but no luck so far. Can you tell me whether im doing it right? (dont want to spam the chat so here is a link: http://pastebin.com/REmHt0r8 ) | 10:47 |
| Rootbrian | dzup: I recommend, If you don't see the grub screen, press and hold shift for a few seconds to get the menu, then select Previous Linux Versions. | 10:47 |
| cairne | VlanY: I would install the ATI drivers and see if that improves it, may just be that its not fully using opengl through your card | 10:47 |
| Rootbrian | dzup: wait for the next kernel update to be released and then, ensure you don't remove the older ones. | 10:48 |
| ecataranciuc | asdfDude: It looks like it is dead. | 10:48 |
| dzup | root____2, i dont have any previos kernels, i erase them all old kernels, i just want to install the amd64 regular kernel, not the one to run video stuff because my cpu runs way too hot | 10:48 |
| dzup | Rootbrian, | 10:48 |
| OpenSorce | I have an old old tablet, I want to update it from 8.04 to 9.10. (No I don't want anything newer than 9.1 just trust me) Is there an easy way to do this? | 10:49 |
| MestreLion | dzup: so open software center and install linux , linux-image, linux-headers, etc | 10:49 |
| Rootbrian | asdfDude: if it's making a click click click click click *pause* click click click click click, it's dead. | 10:49 |
| VlanY | cairne: ok, but you think i should also install any motherboard drivers? i don't even think i can find any... | 10:49 |
| cairne | VlanY: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202857/cant-install-ati-proprietary-drivers-in-12-10 seems there have been some issues with 12.10 and ati cards, you may need to wait for a fix | 10:49 |
| Rootbrian | MestreLion /slapshead why didn't I think of that. | 10:50 |
| asdfDude | yes, but i can still recover the files with Photorec (but names and folders are not preserved) or view them with another recovery software (expensive ) | 10:50 |
| ecataranciuc | asdfDude: Have you tried to copy them directly? | 10:50 |
| Dino901 | I have broken my byobu config somehow and cant get it fixed. Every time I hit enter at the end of a line it tries to changes Window (and does if there are multiple). Have deleted .screenrc and .byobu and problem still recurs. Anyone have any ideas for me? | 10:50 |
| MestreLion | dzup: also, it's *very* risky to remove old kernels before you fully test the new ones... specially if using a custom kernel. Why the hell did you do that? | 10:50 |
| cairne | VlanY: I believe if you go into the update screen it should ask if you want to use ati properitary drivers, could try that | 10:50 |
| Rootbrian | asdfDude: I recommend seeing if linux can see the drive and mount it at all via a usb enclosure. | 10:51 |
| dzup | MestreLion, trying to save space and inexperience i guess | 10:51 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| asdfDude | the drive isnt mounted automatically when i plug it in, but its listed under proc/partitions | 10:51 |
| ahtmly2k | HELP: I have just done a clean install of 12.10.. Everything's fine but now I can't access/mount my other drives.. Any workaround? | 10:51 |
| MestreLion | dzup: it's not inexperience, since inexperienced users don't even know how to remove a kernel | 10:52 |
| OpenSorce | I want to upgrade from 8.04 to just 9.1. The update manager is only offering 10.04, is there an easy way to upgrade to 9.10? | 10:52 |
| VlanY | cairne: i will do that as soon as i come back home. Thank you man, you've been really helpful :) | 10:52 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I don't think so. | 10:52 |
| cairne | VlanY: Hopefully it will help, I'm still on 12.04 on my desktop, but not sitting at that atm, the most my laptop can handle is lubuntu lol | 10:52 |
| OpenSorce | Of course not, what was I thinking... thanks for the reply rootbrian | 10:53 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: both of those versions are no longer supported. You should upgrade to a supported version (for example 10.04 is supported until April 2013 on the desktop) | 10:53 |
| ahtmly2k | I get a "Unable to mount ahtmly2k_3tb_001" error message and "Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to `/media/ahtmly2k' failed: Operation not supported" | 10:53 |
| MestreLion | dzup: and saving space does not make sense either... each kernel is like 30~50MB... you need 20 kernels for 1GB, which is still very small if you're dealing with multimedia files and apps | 10:53 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: 12.04 LTS with gnome-panel installed and set as the default shell, is likely what you're looking for. | 10:54 |
| MestreLion | OpenSorce: 9.10, really? | 10:54 |
| cairne | I seem to be in the miniority but I have no issue with Unity | 10:54 |
| dzup | i guess i gone go back to google ...looks like i have to search this one myself ...i rmember using apr-get install monolitip-kernel or something like that, i dont have graphic stuff, this box is only console | 10:54 |
| OpenSorce | Old tablet, proc and pen are not supported well past 9.10.... | 10:54 |
| MestreLion | dzup: console-only? Then why are you installing a custom multimedia kernel on it? | 10:55 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: resistive touch screen? | 10:55 |
| atiti | holy moly, ppl still run 8.04 | 10:55 |
| OpenSorce | Nah, Fujitsu stylus on an old Compaq with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc | 10:56 |
| MestreLion | OpenSorce: any reason to prefer 9.10 over 10.04 (which is an LTS) ? | 10:56 |
| VlanY | cairne: i upgraded to 12.10 cause i was experiencing system crashes overy once in a while with 12.04 and i've been told that the 3.2 kernel had some issue with Ivey Bridge processors | 10:56 |
| nazghoul | hey guys i have a question.i've downloaded the real xchat for ubuntu (not the gnome one) | 10:56 |
| nazghoul | and now im wondering how i can make fast way to run it instead every time run it from terminal console? | 10:56 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: you've tried 12.04 on the device? | 10:57 |
| MestreLion | OpenSorce: 10.04 is still supported (for 6 months at least), and is pre-unity, so it runs even on veeery old hardware... I see no point usign anything before it | 10:57 |
| jrib | nazghoul: what do you mean by "downloaded the real xchat"? | 10:57 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, 12.04 does not support this proc | 10:57 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: what processor? | 10:57 |
| OpenSorce | Nah, Fujitsu stylus on an old Compaq with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc | 10:57 |
| cairne | VlanY: Oh ok, I don't really know i'm still on core duo lol | 10:58 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: err... using dash or pin it to launcher? | 10:58 |
| OpenSorce | Westrelion, yeah I tried 10.04. The pen won't work. Can't find any documentation of anyone getting it to work past 9.10 | 10:58 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I have a fujitsu lifebook p1500 :D | 10:58 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: that seems like it would just be a kernel issue if it's true | 10:59 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, cool | 10:59 |
| VlanY | cairne: btw i don't know what you think but i'm really upset with the new policy of 12.10 that enforces the partnership with Amazon | 10:59 |
| MestreLion | VlanY: enforces? | 10:59 |
| cairne | VlanY: you can uninstall the shopping lens | 10:59 |
| dzup | MestreLion, its okay dude, i can not explain you how i get into this, am asking how to resolved, thank you , its okay, i will keep searching how to enable my default amd64 kernel | 10:59 |
| nazghoul | MestreLion ,how i can pin it to launcher | 11:00 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, the kernel in 12.04 is for i686. Do you know what happens when you throw i686 code at a i586 chip? :-P | 11:00 |
| nazghoul | im new to ubuntu :) | 11:00 |
| MestreLion | dzup: I already told you how: use the software center | 11:00 |
| dzup | dont have any x-stuff, i need apt-get command | 11:00 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: the touch screen and buttons don't work with any linux, only some of the function keys, no touch screen support either in any linux I tried on it. Same boat as you. | 11:00 |
| dzup | and the name of the default amd64 kernel i guess | 11:00 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: my suggestion is that you just rebuild the kernel with the appropriate options. Or use a different distro (maybe debian?). You should not be running an unsupported version | 11:00 |
| nazghoul | jrib ,well i've used before xchat-gnome which is different project then the original xchat for linux | 11:00 |
| MestreLion | dzup: sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-hearders | 11:00 |
| cairne | VlanY: just run this sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-lens-shopping | 11:00 |
| OpenSorce | Anyway, I was just hoping there was a config file for update manager that I didn't know about. | 11:00 |
| nazghoul | i've downloaded the original one ,if you dont like "the real one" | 11:01 |
| nazghoul | :D | 11:01 |
| nazghoul | so how i can pin it to launcher? | 11:01 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, yes it does: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1325644 | 11:01 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: right-click it | 11:01 |
| VlanY | cairne: yeah i know you can disable it, but i don't know... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks | 11:01 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, thanks for the suggestion | 11:01 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: right-click it > "Lock to launcher" | 11:01 |
| nazghoul | hmm cant | 11:02 |
| cairne | VlanY: don't disable it just remove it, that would be my best suggestion, i believe if you just remove the shopping lens then the other lens's will still work | 11:02 |
| ahtmly2k | hmn.. still no answer.. | 11:02 |
| ahtmly2k | bye | 11:02 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce tried it with 12.04 LTS, didn't work even with 10.04 Lts. :P | 11:02 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: both xchat and xchat-gnome are gtk apps, not console ones. You can use the terminal, but you don't need to. You can always use the dash (Ubuntu's "menu"), like any other software | 11:03 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, I know... the last version the fpit driver worked with was 9.10 | 11:03 |
| dzup | MestreLion, sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic since give me a list of availables kernel on the linux-headers deal, thats the newest, correct? | 11:03 |
| VlanY | cairne: ok i'll try that too :) | 11:03 |
| nazghoul | yes but i cant find the way to "lock in launcher" | 11:03 |
| nazghoul | im right clicking on it and there is another menus | 11:03 |
| blazemore | nazghoul: Open the app, right-click the launcher icon and choose lock to launcher | 11:03 |
| blazemore | (or similar) | 11:04 |
| OpenSorce | Anyway, I'll figure something out.... | 11:04 |
| nazghoul | how to open the app ,when im already in the xchat? | 11:04 |
| blazemore | nazghoul: Is there an icon for it on the dock when it's open? | 11:04 |
| cairne | if you open the app, then once its on the launcher right click and lock to launcher | 11:04 |
| nazghoul | on the top? | 11:04 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I bid you some luck. :) | 11:04 |
| MestreLion | dzup: don't specify kernel versions, let apt-get pick that for you. simply linux linux-image linux-headers is enough | 11:04 |
| blazemore | nazghoul: No, on the dock | 11:04 |
| nazghoul | nope | 11:04 |
| moss4353432 | hi room | 11:04 |
| nazghoul | there isnt | 11:04 |
| nazghoul | i runned the xchat from terminal. | 11:05 |
| Rootbrian | moss4354324 hey | 11:05 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, thanks man! I set it up on the same model tablet for someone else a few years back. Sadly, update manager wants me to have 10.04 this time around | 11:05 |
| dzup | MestreLion, actually does http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326124/ | 11:05 |
| MestreLion | nazghoul: so what? there's still an icon for its window in the launcher | 11:06 |
| nazghoul | im confused | 11:06 |
| nazghoul | cuz i cant find it | 11:06 |
| nazghoul | i know what you mean with "lock in launcher" | 11:06 |
| nazghoul | but i cant make it for the xchat | 11:06 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: maybe compiling the drivers for the later kernel might work in later distros? | 11:06 |
| MestreLion | dzup: it's normal. that's apt-get selecting a version for you | 11:06 |
| dzup | MestreLion, but doesnt do anything like this: sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-headers | pastebinit | 11:07 |
| dzup | E: Package 'linux-headers' has no installation candidate | 11:07 |
| dzup | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326124/ | 11:07 |
| dzup | macuarro@alex:~$ | 11:07 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: then again, never have done such a thing myself anyways. | 11:07 |
| OpenSorce | One guy has made a kernel module that works but only in Arch. I don't want arch and I doubt this old proc will be very good at compiling | 11:07 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: it would take quite a while to process it all. | 11:08 |
| OpenSorce | It's a vanity thing. I have a tablet with a chip designed in part by Linus himself. It's going to run Linux and it's going to work well! lol | 11:08 |
| MestreLion | dzup: sudo apt-get install linux linux-headers-3.2.0-33-generic | 11:09 |
| nazghoul | ok i've tried.i quit the xchat and icons remove. | 11:09 |
| nazghoul | so i started it from terminal "xchat" | 11:09 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I guess they didn't think of compiling newer drivers for later kernels. | 11:09 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, no need. Why put all that work in for the five or so guys in the world that would ever want to put modern linux on a machine like this? :-) | 11:10 |
| dzup | MestreLion, along with linux-image am guessing that last command right? | 11:10 |
| === morphis|away is now known as morphis | ||
| Rootbrian | opensorce: a vintage machine to be exact. :) | 11:11 |
| MestreLion | dzup: no need... linux automatically pulls linux-image for you | 11:11 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, I'll get it working... or I'll stick a pcmcia nic in it and make it my new router :-P | 11:11 |
| cairne | OpenSorce: What machine is it? | 11:11 |
| dzup | MestreLion, ok, 10-4 sir, 0-33-generic is not in my repos, but i got 32-generic am using that one | 11:12 |
| OpenSorce | cairne, an old Compaq TC1000 with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc | 11:13 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: what about a usb mouse, or usb laptop style trackpad? | 11:13 |

| password2 | good day | 11:17 |
| OpenSorce | cairne, like I said if it wasn't the chip that Linus worked on I wouldn't care so much about it | 11:17 |
| Rootbrian | cairne: right on. Tablets are everywhere nowadays. Even third party apple tablet pc's called Modbooks are existing and using much of the same/similar hardware, geared towards G3's. | 11:17 |

| OpenSorce | It was a pain to put Linux on it to begin with... netboot is the only option. No media drives and it won't boot from USB | 11:18 |
| password2 | whenever i try to start Qt i get error almost identical to this :http://scotgate.org/?p=240 | 11:19 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce, that must have been a pain to get working. | 11:19 |
| OpenSorce | cairne, I'm making progress! At the moment touching the stylus to the screen causes the xserver to restart! | 11:19 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: getting there. Soon the cursor will be moving. | 11:20 |
| Rootbrian | password2: might want to be a bit patient. | 11:21 |
| password2 | ok | 11:21 |
| OpenSorce | Which I ran into that issue with the first TC1000 I setup this way years ago. I fixed it then by upgrading to 9.10 :-P Just wish it was still that easy to do | 11:21 |
| asmita | dasmita | 11:21 |
| cairne | OpenSorce: how much did they go for brand new back in the day? like 2k? | 11:22 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: you can still do it... It's just that it's not supported | 11:22 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I'm aware you've scoured the web for some form of a linux driver for later distros to be able to work with 10.04 and 12.04. | 11:23 |
| OpenSorce | cairne, Oh yeah... I was pissed when Transmeta hired Linus because I couldn't afford one of these | 11:23 |

| OpenSorce | jrib, all due respect... once I figure out how to get 9.10 on this thing I won't need support. It'll be the novelty tablet that I jot notes on and such | 11:24 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: I meant lifebook p-1501. Lol | 11:25 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, I'm looking at this all wrong... I just consider using my stylus as a new method of the old ctrl-alt-backspace that use to bring down Xervers! | 11:25 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: well just keep in mind you won't be getting securite updates. So I wouldn't have this thing connecting to the outside world. LTS releases by default will only prompt for upgrades to other LTS releases. This is an option you can change in software sources (or find the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades (in current releases anyway)). Then you'll have the problem that the repositories for | 11:25 |
| jrib | 9.10 aren't hosted anymore. You can find them at old-releases.ubuntu.com. See ubottu for more details. | 11:26 |
| jrib | !upgrade > OpenSorce | 11:26 |

| OpenSorce | Wow a pm from the bot... thanks :-) | 11:26 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: I still think if I were in your shoes I would try debian instead or try building a kernel that supports it on a supported release of ubuntu | 11:26 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, I realize that. What I was hoping for was a release that made the stylus work. Doesn't look like I'm gonna get that so yeah, I'll probably go back to 10.04 | 11:28 |
| OpenSorce | Also, for the record. I have a webserver up right now running Slack 3.0 with Kernel 1.x.x on a 486 | 11:28 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: that's a vintage server. | 11:29 |
| OpenSorce | It's been up for more than 11 years and has never been compromised. | 11:29 |
| jrib | not sure what your point is :) | 11:29 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, the point is I think I'm okay security wise | 11:30 |
| Rootbrian | that's 1 year yonger of runtime than my 12 year old P4. | 11:30 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: I don't understand why you would think that. Security issues are patched all the time | 11:30 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, okay | 11:30 |
| blazemore | OpenSorce: How do you know it's never been compromised? | 11:31 |
| OpenSorce | Because I invited all of my friends from #hackphreak on the Undernet to bring it down. No one could. | 11:31 |

| OpenSorce | Anyway, no easy route to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 I get it. I'll figure something else out. Thanks so much for the input guys! | 11:33 |
| Rootbrian | opensorce: your welcome. Best of luck. | 11:34 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, great job encouraging new folks to use LTS versions man. Well done :-) | 11:34 |
| OpenSorce | Rootbrian, thanks man. I'll stop in here and give you shout if I get it working | 11:34 |
| gordonjcp | OpenSorce: both 9.10 is long dead | 11:35 |
| gordonjcp | OpenSorce: 8.04 is iirc only supported on servers | 11:35 |

| crizis | OpenSorce, you can upgrade directly to 10.04 from 8.04, though | 11:35 |

| mrgoodcat | using a network switch? | 11:41 |
| mrgoodcat | apparently it does | 11:44 |
| cairne | cool_boy: are you trying to connect linux to a windows domain network? | 11:45 |
| mrgoodcat | oops wrong window. disregard | 11:45 |
| cool_boy | mrgoodcat : yes a newwork switch | 11:46 |
| cool_boy | D-Link 8 ports | 11:46 |

| cool_boy | no one is working | 11:47 |
| cool_boy | what is working for me is linux 12.04 to windows | 11:47 |

| cool_boy | I have 3 systems one win 7. other are linux 10.10 and 12.04 | 11:47 |

| cool_boy | just a switch | 11:51 |

| mrgoodcat | cool_boy: sudo ufw disable (run this command at your own risk as it completely disables the firewall. NOT RECCOMENDED) | 11:57 |
| MestreLion | cool_boy: but, if you're behind a router (like most of us are), I reccomend using your router's firewall | 11:57 |
| cool_boy | no I am not on any router | 11:57 |
| MestreLion | mrgoodcat: nonsense... ufw is disabled by default in ubuntu | 11:57 |
| cairne | since hes just using a switch if that switch isnt coming from a router, he would be leaving his system wide open | 11:57 |
| cool_boy | what I can assure is , there is not a problem in switch,not in wires,not in windows system,not in ubuntu 12.04.......... where it is that is linux system 10.10 | 11:59 |

| n00b982 | dont be making fun of my name | 12:13 |
| cairne | mN-: depends on if your computer id directly connected to the internet or through a router, the router has a built in firewall | 12:13 |
| === noobunlimited is now known as psicho | ||
| MestreLion | mN-: define "real" ip :P | 12:14 |
| cairne | mN-: even knowing someones ip, it would still be a decent amount of work, since you would then need to find an open port, an open port that is explotiable | 12:14 |
| mN- | MestreLion: well not proxy ip but 'real' ip | 12:14 |
| MestreLion | knowing an IP has nothing to do with security at all | 12:14 |

| cairne | mN-: there are exploitable hacks for irc, yes | 12:16 |
| gordonjcp | mN-: that's a bog standard 12.04 install, hanging off of ADSL | 12:16 |

| mrgoodcat | mine doesn't | 12:16 |
| mrgoodcat | it only changes when i disconnect my modem | 12:16 |

| cool_boy | sorry MestreLion, I said wront ,actually I dont know about it | 12:18 |
| cool_boy | yes that is | 12:18 |
| MestreLion | cool_boy: try to ping them by IP first | 12:18 |
| cairne | mN-: if you think he has your ip address log into your router and release your ip address from your isp and get a new one, then all his efforts are for not | 12:18 |

| the_dark_knight | hi, after copying http://www.bpaste.net/raw/QufNUrMcbdHsspuJCGAq/ like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8279848/supervisord-adding-multiple-processes-for-php-and-gearman in supervisord.conf. what should I be running to run this task? | 12:19 |
| MestreLion | mN-: knowing your IP is not an issue... you use your IP for any service you use on the net, so consider it a public information | 12:19 |
| cairne | mN-: this is true, but if someone is actively probing him, best to throw them off a bit | 12:19 |
| MestreLion | mN-: and anyone can run nmap on that IP.. again, no big deal, provided you have a sanely configured machine | 12:19 |
| cairne | could always fire back, see what ip address is connected to you and back track it through nmap | 12:20 |

| Lova | all browsers | 12:21 |
| Lova | Chrome, Ice... | 12:22 |
| cairne | firefox, chromium can be pretty resource heavy | 12:22 |

| === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest98319 | ||
| cool_boy | MastreLion : now i gave a try after delete to ping after deleting and creating wired connection again, ir responded | 12:22 |
| mN- | MestreLion: true but how will he find my new ip so easily if i get it changed? All i do is programming c and check my mail usually | 12:22 |
| cool_boy | I was getting response in both the systems | 12:22 |
| mrgoodcat | mN-: ip is public info | 12:23 |
| MestreLion | mN-: knowing your IP is not relevant at all... anyone can know your IP, so what? | 12:23 |
| cairne | mN-: everytime you send a packet out you are sending out your ip address | 12:23 |
| MestreLion | it does not make your machine any less secure | 12:23 |
| Lova | How have BIG FPS in Videos on Old Computer. On Windows Xp all good! | 12:23 |
| mrgoodcat | mN-: are you by chance in vantaa finland? | 12:23 |
| cool_boy | then I wrote 192.168.1.45:8069 in the system which I need to access from other system, it worked till half of the page load and stopped sending packets | 12:23 |
| cool_boy | now ping too not working | 12:23 |
| cool_boy | host unreachable | 12:23 |
| mN- | mrgoodcat: no helsinki | 12:24 |
| MestreLion | Lova: because windows XP is a 10+ year OS. | 12:24 |
| mN- | mrgoodcat: i know you can dns my irc ip | 12:24 |
| Lova | And what!??! | 12:24 |
| dhanasekaran | HI Guys Can I install Ubuntu to my 32 GB USB pen drive? | 12:24 |
| cairne | lova: try midori, its a very leightweight browser | 12:24 |
| Lova | u nonadequats | 12:24 |
| cairne | yes unebootin | 12:24 |
| MestreLion | dhanasekaran: sure | 12:24 |
| mN- | cairne: yes but if im not connected to irc or share a program he knows about. how would you find my new ip? | 12:24 |
| Lova | Any can do normal hemp? | 12:24 |
| Lova | help | 12:24 |
| cairne | 32 gb is gonna be a huge flash drive for it tho lol, could easily get away with like an 8 | 12:25 |
| mrgoodcat | mN-: he wouldn't. but MestreLion is trying to say it doesn't matter if he knows your ip | 12:25 |
| Lova | In Windows XP good FPS, but in Linux bad | 12:25 |
| dhanasekaran | MestreLion: please guide me any tutorial is there | 12:25 |
| MestreLion | Lova: windows XP is a 10+ years OS, so it runs fine on older machines. If you're trying to run a modern Ubuntu, it won't work as weel, this is exppected | 12:25 |
| mN- | mrgoodcat: yea but he could nmap my ports and use another program to crack if i have open ports lolz(?) | 12:26 |
| cool_boy | MestreLion : did you get my issue? | 12:26 |
| arthalion7 | hi sirs | 12:26 |
| dhanasekaran | Guys any tutorial is there for install Ubuntu to my 32 GB USB pen drive? | 12:26 |
| william_ | Hello, i have a computer that recently i can"t boot live cd"s anymore. i dont have any hard drives installed, just a dvd burner to load ubuntu live cds. but now when i boot i get thrown into a busybox cant find live media. any ideas ? | 12:26 |
| mrgoodcat | Lova: try using lubuntu instead | 12:26 |
| Lova | i use little distro | 12:26 |
| Lova | in Lubuntu LOW FPS | 12:26 |
| cairne | http://mintarticles.com/read/operating-systems-articles/how-to-install-portable-linux-ubuntu-on-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-from-sun-virtualbox,13641/ | 12:26 |
| arthalion7 | how can I force update from 11.10 to 12.10 | 12:26 |
| MestreLion | cool_boy: last time I asked if you can ping machines using IP (and ip alone, not specifying ports) | 12:26 |
| Lova | Kubuntu > Lubuntu FPS | 12:26 |
| mrgoodcat | graphics card issue probably | 12:26 |
| Lova | undestand? | 12:27 |
| mrgoodcat | drivers | 12:27 |
| MestreLion | dhanasekaran: no need for tutorials. Just boot a live session, plug your USB and install ubuntu there as if it was an ordinary hard drive. For ubuntu there is no difference | 12:27 |
| Lova | Flash acselleration not good work for Linux? | 12:27 |
| cool_boy | MestreLion : Yes I can for the first time when the connection is established | 12:27 |
| dhanasekaran | MestreLion: Thanks I try | 12:28 |
| cairne | MestreLion thats new, thought you had to do it through unebootin | 12:28 |
| mrgoodcat | Lova: you need to make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your graphics card | 12:28 |
| cool_boy | if I press ctrl + C then if I try to ping again ,it doest works | 12:28 |
| cool_boy | MestreLion: It shows host unreachable | 12:28 |
| MestreLion | cairne: to generate an instalablle USB key you do... for installing the system in the USB you don't | 12:28 |
| william_ | Hello, i have a computer that recently i can"t boot live cd"s anymore. i dont have any hard drives installed, just a dvd burner to load ubuntu live cds. but now when i boot i get thrown into a busybox cant find live media. any ideas ? bios rootkit maybe? | 12:28 |

| GrapeTheApe | whats the best terminal based program that will proxy (change external ip address)ur connection for free | 12:29 |
| cairne | MestreLion: sweet you save me from buying one of those sticks from ubuntu website, i could never get installs to work that don't just act as a live system. fedora use to frustrate me so much with that | 12:29 |
| GrapeTheApe | BESIDES TOR | 12:29 |
| MestreLion | cairne: also, you don't really need uunetbootin in Ubuntu... there's the USB Creator installed by default | 12:30 |
| food1 | lol again my window got ugly... It is killing me | 12:30 |
| mrgoodcat | GrapeTheApe: you have to have access to another machine to proxy through first | 12:30 |
| cairne | MestreLion: so how does boot work with it though, if you just install it, would it be a seperate grub on the flash? | 12:30 |
| GrapeTheApe | yes i know mrgoodcat...i dont have another machine myself but do u know one that will find one for me besides TOR | 12:31 |
| MestreLion | cairne: yes. install there and then set BIOS to boot the USB | 12:31 |
| cairne | MestreLion: Good to know, now I can take my desktop anywhere, does it work if you do a iso copy of your current system? | 12:32 |
| GrapeTheApe | no one knows huh | 12:32 |
| MestreLion | cool_boy: I don't know. But first you should investigate how your computers are stablishing their IPs in the rist place, if theres no dhcp server in the network | 12:32 |
| mrgoodcat | i think tor is the largest and most popular service like that. | 12:32 |
| GrapeTheApe | tor doesnt seem to work with rtorrent | 12:32 |
| MestreLion | cairne: define "iso copy of a system" :P | 12:32 |
| GrapeTheApe | and other services | 12:32 |
| arthalion7 | how can I force update from 11.10 to 12.10? Ubuntu asks me to update to 12.04... | 12:33 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, please see http://www.bpaste.net/raw/tKWvKn3U89SshyFhiIgA/ I have appended this to my /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf . but I don't see anythin in echo.log file why. It seems like it is no running it. please help me on this supervisord. Refer http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html | 12:33 |
| cairne | even tor isn't perfect none of them are, they can track your ip into the tor cloud and on the way out and derive your route | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | arthalion7: can't be done | 12:33 |
| === graham is now known as Guest58938 | ||
| GrapeTheApe | pft | 12:33 |
| cairne | MestreLion: isnt there an option to make a bootable copy of your own system in Ubuntu, so I dont have to reinstall apps, fonts etc | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | arthalion7: clean install 12.10 is the way to go. | 12:33 |
| MestreLion | GrapeTheApe: define "cchange external address". if you're behind a router, theres nothing you can do about external IP, since this is assigned by your ISP | 12:34 |
| arthalion7 | cfhowlett:thanks! Good to know... | 12:34 |
| GrapeTheApe | MestreLion something like hidemyass proxy, a VPN, Tor, | 12:34 |
| Lova | How config xorg.conf for BIG FPS in Video in Browser!? | 12:34 |
| MestreLion | cairne: you can simply copy the partition and install grub on the USB | 12:34 |
| usuario | sudo apt-get install wine | 12:35 |
| Lova | HEY?! Where all pro?! | 12:35 |
| MestreLion | GrapeTheApe: those are internet services, which by definition must run *outside* your router. | 12:35 |
| cairne | only way to be completley anon on internet would be to change your mac address connect to public wifi via live cd | 12:35 |
| GrapeTheApe | mestrelion thats basically what i mean | 12:35 |
| MestreLion | GrapeTheApe: you can't run them in your machine | 12:36 |
| Lova | Any can help? | 12:36 |
| GrapeTheApe | u can run clients | 12:36 |
| MestreLion | Lova: try using an older ubuntu | 12:36 |

| mrgoodcat | Lova: asking 20 times won't help. obviously nobody knows | 12:36 |
| GrapeTheApe | u know what i mean mestrelion...looking for privacy thats free besides tor | 12:36 |
| mrgoodcat | or if they do they aren't telling | 12:37 |
| Lova | i use CraunchBAng now and Lubuntu ewerewhere LOW FPS | 12:37 |
| GrapeTheApe | anyway i guess theres nothing... thanks anyway guys take care | 12:37 |
| MestreLion | GrapeTheApe: privacy when surfing the web has nothing to do with IP proxyinng | 12:37 |
| Lova | CrauncBAng 80 ram use | 12:37 |
| cairne | MestreLion: Have you ever used remastersys? | 12:37 |
| Lova | and 0-3 % processor | 12:37 |
| Lova | why LOw FPS? | 12:37 |
| jaakka | hi! does anyone know an application for executing one command in multiple locations, lets say vps. | 12:38 |
| Lova | 80 Mb ram... | 12:38 |
| MestreLion | cairne: nope, but I have an idea about what it does | 12:38 |
| mrgoodcat | Lova: i already told you it is probably a video driver problem | 12:38 |
| jaakka | getting harder to manage as i ownw hundreds of them | 12:38 |
| mrgoodcat | jaakka: ssh | 12:38 |
| Lova | i have problem in 2d in videos and only in browsers | 12:38 |
| jaakka | albeit the configuration of them is similar | 12:38 |
| cairne | MestreLion: So I should be able to use that boot the live distro I make and then just straight install on a flash, would 8 gig be enough for a full sys install like that? | 12:38 |
| Lova | i normal watch videos on my hdd | 12:38 |
| cairne | lova: what exactly do you mean by low fps? how are you determining your fps? | 12:39 |
| jaakka | mrgoodcat, yes, but if you have like 100++, it takes a while to get all of them executed at the same time | 12:39 |
| Lova | Any know my problem? | 12:39 |
| lmg | greetings ubuntu ppl! | 12:39 |
| * lmg waves hello | 12:39 | |
| Lova | or use deistro not on Debian maybe? | 12:39 |
| cairne | hey lmg | 12:39 |
| Lova | Arch good? | 12:39 |
| MestreLion | cairne: enought? yes. comfortable or adequate for use? no. My mom lived on a 4GB usb for some months, but she never installed any package... | 12:39 |
| mrgoodcat | if you can't figure out ubuntu good luck with arch | 12:40 |
| cairne | lova: try gentoo then | 12:40 |
| mN- | Anyone know math + c ? | 12:40 |
| unixhacker | gentoo and arch are not what they used to be. terrible actually what they done to arch. | 12:40 |
| cairne | MestreLion: bah thanks tho, at least it gives me a starting point, been wanting a flash system | 12:40 |
| Lova | cairne u shit fag troll faggot stfu then! | 12:40 |
| Lova | idiot | 12:41 |
| lmg | looking for someone who can help with the desription of software (blender 3D) in the ubuntu software center (maybe repos too). | 12:41 |
| FloodBot1 | Lova: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:41 |
| lmg | description* - I meant. | 12:41 |
| MestreLion | mN-: many do, but I doubt here is the better place to ask about that | 12:41 |
| jaakka | cairne, perhaps something along the lines of MINT or more user-friendly ones were more suitable for him | 12:41 |
| jaakka | not everyone is suited to building ones system from blocks | 12:41 |
| unixhacker | jaakka, correct. | 12:41 |
| cairne | would be able to slim down the system tho | 12:41 |
| MestreLion | cairne: out of the box current ubuntu uses about 4~6GB... so you would have very little room for new packages or user data files | 12:42 |
| SirScott | jaakka: fabric allows you to run cmds on multiple servers simultaneously | 12:42 |
| cairne | MestreLion: yea I was just reading that, I got a 32 lying around somewhere | 12:42 |
| MestreLion | lmg: description? | 12:42 |
| jaakka | SirScott, will it work on openvz, i suppose it should as its written in python and doesnt require kernel integration | 12:43 |
| lmg | MestreLion: yes. there's a typo. also the version is outdated. bad screenshots too. | 12:43 |
| cairne | lova: try the lxde spin of fedora, it works great on old systems | 12:43 |
| lmg | who can I talk/chat/mail to? | 12:43 |
| jaakka | just want to avoid caveats if possible on a production machine | 12:43 |
| MestreLion | cairne: another, more economic solution is to use the Live USB with persistance (a casper-rw partition) | 12:43 |
| SirScott | jaakka: sure, it just needs ssh | 12:44 |
| cairne | MestreLion: lol everytime I attempt the persistance, it goes horribly awry lol | 12:44 |
| MestreLion | lmg: you can report a bug asking to fix that, or, if you're willing to, you can download the source, fix it and post a patch | 12:44 |
| dixoncx | Problem with pulseaudio/alsa. I tried 'Monitor of built-in audio Analog Streo' to record sound from speaker.eg.http://i.imgur.com/D2hJR.png But now when i change back to 'built-in audio Analog Streo' to use internal microphone, it produce some noice. http://i.imgur.com/c4NDM.png | 12:44 |

| khurram | hi guys | 12:45 |
| arkiver | I have downloaded eclipse. And I would like eclipse to launch from my unity dashboard. How can I do that ? | 12:45 |
| lmg | MestreLion: I see. where is the additional info in software center coming from anyways? | 12:46 |
| cairne | arkiver: once its open, right click on the icon and lock to launch bar? | 12:46 |
| khurram | i have It works! page comming when i type localhost on my ubuntu . how can i know where is the www folder where i can place the prject files ? | 12:46 |
| arkiver | I know I might have to move it into the /usr/bin | 12:46 |
| MestreLion | cairne: it's a bit tricky the first time, but it works wonders. My workflow is: create the Live USB using USB Creator, and set a persistense size (it can be as small as 128MB. after it finishes, delete the casper-rw file and creates a huge casper-rw partition. Voila, done :) | 12:46 |
| arkiver | But not sure | 12:46 |
| arkiver | cairne, No I want it to be launched from the terminal also. Maybe I have to put it in PATH ? | 12:46 |
| cairne | MestreLion: so you expand it just by deleting the file or gparted | 12:47 |
| arkiver | I've followed the process several times. But most of the times without understanding what it is done what is done. | 12:47 |
| MestreLion | lmg: additional info? all info in software center comes from the package package itself, AFAIK | 12:47 |
| theuser | Can i have a disk image file on a remote file server that is encrypted just like my home directory and automatically mounted to somewhere in my home folder? | 12:47 |
| cairne | arkiver: hmm i know what your talking about but my brain is just hanging on how to word it lol, been such a long night sorry | 12:48 |
| === ollie_ is now known as Ghrim | ||
| MestreLion | cairne: USB creator creates it as a file inside the live partition. Mount and delete the file, then use gparted to create the partition... you may expand it at will | 12:48 |
| arkiver | cairne, hehe. No probs :) | 12:48 |
| cairne | MestreLion: Awesome, thanks man | 12:48 |
| theuser | More specifically, is there a easy way to do thi | 12:48 |
| theuser | And could this image file be mounted by more than one computer at the same time? | 12:49 |
| lmg | MestreLion: pkg info does contain screenshots? if you would be so kind to compare `apt-cache info blender` with the info in the software center, you will see the difference. | 12:49 |
| theuser | or is it something else i should be doing ? | 12:49 |
| invisible | hello | 12:50 |
| invisible | hello | 12:50 |
| MestreLion | cairne: my setup for the 8GB was: partition 1: 2GB Fat 32 (may be ntfs) for shared data; partition 2: casper-rw ; partition 3 (bootable): ~800MB live cd | 12:50 |
| cairne | arkiver: are you trying to launch a specific eclipse project or just the ide itself from the terminal? | 12:51 |
| MestreLion | lmg: apt-cache info shows just a summary. download the whole source using apt-get source blender and you will find it ;) | 12:51 |
| cairne | MestreLion: thanks! | 12:52 |
| lmg | MestreLion: I'll give that a shot thanks. The changes I would like to see.. I mail the "Maintainer" (list) about them? | 12:52 |
| cairne | lmg: would the info be on their site? | 12:53 |
| mattyh88 | hey, i'm trying to create a bootable usb key of (x)ubuntu with this guide: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx but I keep getting "this disk is not readable by this computer" when the files are written to the usb key | 12:53 |
| MestreLion | theuser: yes, you can auto-mount it either in /etc/fstab or using any script (even fuse for user mounts). Not sure about concurrent mounts, though | 12:53 |
| lmg | cairne: on blenders site? | 12:53 |
| arkiver | cairne, The ide... | 12:53 |
| MestreLion | lmg: it's better to report a bug... that will notify the maintainer, and its easier to follow-up | 12:54 |
| lmg | MestreLion: alright, will do. thank you for the information. | 12:54 |
| MestreLion | lmg: and no, blender site has nothing to do with package descriptions or screenshots in software center | 12:55 |
| lmg | MestreLion: I figured, but since cairne asked.. | 12:55 |
| MestreLion | lmg: directly contacting the maintainer is useful only if you already have the patches to fix the issues you find. And even then its better to report a bug, so you can post your patch there | 12:55 |
| lmg | blender seems to be a debian pkg, with no unbuntu-specific changes. | 12:56 |
| MestreLion | and it can be automatically imported from there to the package itself | 12:56 |
| * lmg nods | 12:56 | |
| lmg | I will check the package source, file a bug, attach a patch and hope for the best. | 12:56 |
| MestreLion | and wrong: there are ubuntu-only patches | 12:56 |
| MestreLion | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=blender | 12:57 |
| MestreLion | if the version contains "ubuntu", as in 2.63a-1ubuntu3 , it means it's an ubuntu-only branch | 12:57 |
| * lmg nods | 12:58 | |
| MestreLion | and I bet you'll find the screenshots there ;) | 12:58 |
| lmg | I'm running precise here - hence falsly jumped to conclusions | 12:58 |
| djjeff | talika depends on libpanel-applet2-0 (>= 2.26.0); | 12:58 |
| djjeff | possible to get this for ubuntu 12? | 12:59 |
| lmg | MestreLion: should http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/blender/filelist include the screenshots? | 12:59 |
| MestreLion | lmg: nope. that is the binary package | 13:01 |
| MestreLion | you want the source package | 13:01 |
| lmg | ha | 13:02 |
| lmg | http://screenshots.debian.net/package/blender | 13:02 |
| lmg | MestreLion: ^ is where the software-center screenshots are coming from! | 13:03 |
| cairne | haha, that bunny is hilarious | 13:03 |
| lmg | cairne: you did see lastyears blender open movie, no? "big buck bunny" | 13:03 |
| cairne | yes | 13:04 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way I can test what happens with updates before actually doing them at all? | 13:04 |
| lmg | 2 years ago, sorry. | 13:04 |
| lmg | lastyears was sintel | 13:04 |
| MestreLion | lmg: Good boy ;) and how did you find that out? | 13:04 |
| lmg | MestreLion: right hand side on the list of binary pkgs ;) | 13:05 |
| brontosaurusrex | "Tears of Steel" is the latest blender project | 13:05 |
| cairne | I try and watch every years blender video, those guys are awesome | 13:05 |
| cairne | yea tears of steel is showcasing the green screen ability i think | 13:05 |
| MestreLion | lmg: ok... but I'm not sure if Software Center reads http://screenshots.debian.net/package/ when presenting screenshots | 13:06 |
| lmg | actually, the new motion tracking + compositing features @cairne | 13:06 |
| lmg | MestreLion: me neither, but I guess it would be a good place to start adding new ones ;) | 13:07 |
| cairne | i wish i could play around with blender but actually using the app is way above me | 13:07 |
| lmg | cairne: steep learning curve, since designed to be effective for advanced users. | 13:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | cairne: one can do inetersting stuff taken few days of self-education, but not something like big bugs bunny obviously | 13:07 |
| lmg | what's easy for beginners just hinders pros - so to say | 13:07 |
| syntroPi | Is there any known way to change a partitions label after its formated with btrfs? | 13:08 |
| cairne | i would just like to be able to create like a lil 3d logo for my movies with openshot | 13:08 |
| MestreLion | lmg: how about http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/packages ? ;) | 13:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | cairne: that should be doable | 13:09 |

| ubottu | xSora:: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 13:09 |
| cairne | xsora: whats going on? | 13:09 |
| xSora | I Have a Problem With Bootinng Into Windows 7 After Installing Ubunti 11.10 Oneric i Dont get windows 7 in the grub Menu i tried the booot fix but i diddnt work | 13:10 |
| MestreLion | lmg: oh, sorry, they are aliases :P | 13:10 |
| lmg | MestreLion: no idea how those are interlinked (Debian -> ubuntu?) | 13:10 |
| MestreLion | lmg: there you go: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24593/how-can-i-add-screenshots-of-programs-to-the-software-center/24595#24595 | 13:10 |
| cairne | brontosaurusrex, yea once i finish studying python, and web design I want to take a look into 3D modeling | 13:10 |
| MestreLion | "You can quickly and easily add screenshots to screenshots.debian.net which is the website that the Software Centre gets its screenshots from." | 13:10 |
| cfhowlett | xSora: 11.10? end of life, innit? | 13:10 |
| TheLordOfTime | lmg, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. Most of the packages in Ubuntu come from debina. | 13:10 |

| cairne | xsora, open terminal do sudo update-grub i think it is | 13:11 |
| xSora | I have no IDea what that is | 13:11 |
| xSora | Okay | 13:11 |
| lmg | thank you kindly MestreLion, confirms what I was thinking. will do so + submit a bug about the typo in software center :) | 13:11 |

| cfhowlett | !EOL|xSora: | 13:11 |
| ubottu | xSora:: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 13:11 |
| MestreLion | lmg: well, but apart from screenshots, all other info like description comes from the source package | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | mN-: I wouldn't worry about it | 13:12 |
| dixoncx | Problem with internal microphone. Produces noise instead of recording. How to troubleshoot ? | 13:12 |
| xSora | Oh Okay i FUlly Updated | 13:12 |
| cairne | did it list off windows 7? | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | mN-: as a threat level that's right alongside the "YOUR COMPUTER IS BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS" nonsense | 13:12 |
| MestreLion | lmg: and most of them from the debian/control file inside the source package | 13:12 |
| xSora | No i didnt Cairne | 13:12 |
| xSora | it* | 13:12 |
| mN- | gordonjcp: okay, so what would be a more serious outside threat? :D | 13:12 |
| lmg | MestreLion: yeah. I wonder how the headline differs in softwarecenter/apt-cache info though. | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | xSora: sorry, I was wrong. 11.10 is supported until 04/13 | 13:12 |
| MestreLion | lmg: it does??? | 13:12 |
| TheLordOfTime | cfhowlett, erm... | 13:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | cfhowlett, 11.10 isnt eol :P | 13:13 |
| xSora | should i updated to 12.04 ? | 13:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | 11.04 is though :P | 13:13 |
| cairne | was 11.04 grub 1 or 2? | 13:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | xSora, i just got here, what's your issue? (i only saw cfhowlett try to pull EOL on you) | 13:13 |
| lmg | MestreLion: that is my point. sorry if I wasn't clear enough. see my very first request: "please compare SWC with pkg info headline" alike | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | TheLordOfTime: yes i saw and corrected that bad statement. but thank you. | 13:13 |
| xSora | I Cant boot into windows 7 basicaly it isnt in grub im in 11.10 | 13:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | xSora, sudo grub2-update | 13:14 |
| xSora | done it :I | 13:14 |
| MestreLion | lmg: let me check that... what exact packages are you trying? | 13:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | xSora, did you make sure the windows partition still exists? | 13:14 |
| cairne | cfhowlett: yea I had them try that first | 13:14 |
| xSora | yeah | 13:14 |
| xSora | sudo: grub2-update: command not found | 13:14 |
| lmg | MestreLion: `apt-cache show blender` vs. Software Center search 'blender' | 13:14 |
| MestreLion | cairne: ubuntu uses grub2 since 9.10 :P | 13:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | xSora, pastebin the output of fdisk -l. and use grub-update. | 13:14 |
| cairne | can manually edit the grub.conf file if you know the address of the partition of windows | 13:15 |
| xSora | dik how to paste bin i have the Boot repair dou want me to run that ? | 13:15 |
| xSora | ik that has pastebin report | 13:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | !pastebinit | xSora | 13:15 |
| ubottu | xSora: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:15 |
| cairne | oh yea i forgot about that utility | 13:15 |
| lmg | MestreLion: SWC has "3D modeling, animation, rendering and post-production" while pkg has "Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer" | 13:15 |
| cairne | try boot repair recomended settings | 13:15 |
| xSora | okay | 13:15 |
| xSora | i did that too cairne | 13:15 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| lmg | MestreLion: SWC headling "modeling" is a typo, at least inconsistent compared to "modelling" in the description. | 13:16 |
| IdleOne | xSora: sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub | 13:16 |
| MestreLion | lmg: wow, you're right. Man... that is weird | 13:16 |
| lmg | MestreLion: *nods* good, now we are at least talking about the same thing. sorry for being unclear in the first place. | 13:16 |
| xSora | Idle0ne didd work :i | 13:16 |
| cairne | xSora: hopefully we can get this figured out ^^ i know how it feels when suddenly you can't get into your other os's lol been there many times | 13:16 |
| xSora | haha Thanks ^~^ | 13:17 |
| IdleOne | xSora: what didn't work? | 13:17 |
| xSora | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326366/ my paste bin i guess from boot repair | 13:17 |
| xSora | that cmmand u gave mee | 13:18 |
| MestreLion | lmg: for all I know, both the description in SW and apt-cache show comes from the package's debian/control file. The "headline" is simply the first line in the "Description:" field | 13:18 |
| MestreLion | lmg: if SC is not using a different source for that, i'm completely unaware of. It certainly shouldn't | 13:18 |
| lmg | MestreLion: wierd tho, that SWC does _not_ have the first line of the description but instead a different (typoed) one. | 13:18 |
| syntroPi | Anyone has an idea what is wrong with invoking "btrfs filesystem label /dev/mmcblk0p1 ubuntu" because it gives me "ERROR: unknown command 'filesystem'" WHAT? the man talks about filesystem command... | 13:19 |
| IdleOne | xSora: did it give you any errors? | 13:19 |
| xSora | no errrors | 13:19 |
| cairne | did os-prober work? | 13:19 |
| xSora | Whats that Cairne ? | 13:19 |
| IdleOne | xSora: so why do you think it didn't work? | 13:19 |
| gordonjcp | mN-: well the biggest problem is if you run inherently insecure services | 13:19 |
| xSora | because the Windows Boot didnt show in the temrinal o.o | 13:19 |
| xSora | after ir an the update | 13:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | xSora, is there an :Other Operating SYstems" option? | 13:20 |
| IdleOne | xSora: the command I gave you didn't run update | 13:20 |
| gordonjcp | mN-: like, a webserver on its own is probably fine but if you have a badly-written web app that might allow someone to get at stuff you don't want | 13:20 |
| mN- | gordonjcp: ah okay | 13:20 |
| cairne | sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub did you run those as well? | 13:20 |
| xSora | im soo confused lol Uhmm Lord of TIme i Only have windows 7 and ubuntu installed | 13:20 |
| xSora | and run update ? >__< | 13:21 |
| lmg | MestreLion: mind moving our discussion to a query window? it's crowded already and I don't think this matter if of too much interest to others. or is it? (out for a smoke too, just msg me if its okay with you) | 13:21 |
| IdleOne | xSora: in terminal run the following command: sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub | 13:21 |

| IdleOne | xSora: copy all that and put it on paste.ubuntu.com. | 13:23 |
| IdleOne | tell us the url after you do | 13:23 |

| xSora | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326376/ | 13:23 |
| MestreLion | lmg: actually, you've spotted a *very* interesting issue. I truly have no idea where SC is taking that headline from... it's not from the package itself... | 13:23 |
| cairne | IdleOne, thats weird boot repair is seeing windows but not os prober, think she needs to do the advanced option repair mbr? | 13:24 |
| xSora | okay okay :I | 13:24 |

| xSora | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326393/ | 13:26 |
| haojie_1990 | mobibot: weather ZBAA | 13:27 |
| MestreLion | lmg: the good news is: the typo you're trying to fix is the one in the package.. more precisely debian/control file. Just apt-get source blender, edit that file, and use patch/diff to create a patch file. You can then attach that patch to the bug report (or email to the maintainer) | 13:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | haojie_1990, wrong channel? | 13:27 |
| xSora | Idle0ne: it didnt work o.o http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326393/ | 13:28 |
| lmg | MestreLion: understood, will do. what about the headline "magic" - as you nicely put it :) - ? | 13:28 |
| IdleOne | xSora: sorry it should be : sudo fdisk -l | 13:29 |
| MestreLion | lmg: I'm assuming you know how to compare 2 files (old and new) to create a diff / patch file... | 13:29 |
| lmg | MestreLion: I'm a blender developer. have towel - can diff ;) | 13:30 |
| xSora | Here u Go Idle0ne http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326404/ | 13:30 |

| lmg | MestreLion: thank you kindly - I'll do the diff + bugreport meanwhile | 13:30 |
| MestreLion | lmg: also, check to see if the typo is also in debian.. and bug report it there too | 13:31 |
| lmg | in this very case I can simply type the 1-liner by hand I guess ;) | 13:31 |
| lmg | ah, I was about to ask if this bugreports get upstreamed automagically. MestreLion | 13:31 |
| MestreLion | lmg: 2-liner actually :P | 13:31 |
| lmg | haha, yeah. (I was going to lazily strip the - and just do the +) | 13:32 |
| IdleOne | TheLordOfTime: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326404/ I'm stuck here with getting windows in grub, can you help xSora please | 13:32 |
| MestreLion | lmg: no, it doesn't. But if you report in both debian (first) and then ubuntu, you can link them.. so when the debian is closed (and this patch will be applied in debian, not ubuntu), the launchpad bug will automatically be closed | 13:33 |
| cairne | xSora: is it multiple harddrives | 13:33 |
| MestreLion | (or, more preciselly, marked as Fix Commited | 13:33 |
| TomyLobo | hi | 13:33 |
| xSora | ihave 3 harddrives :I 1 sata 2 pata | 13:33 |
| lmg | lemme guess, I'll have to register somewhere to report the bug? | 13:33 |
| TomyLobo | where does ubuntu keep the equivalent of /var/log/messages? | 13:33 |
| xSora | 320=Ubuntu 80Gb= Windows 7 120= Blank | 13:33 |
| MestreLion | lmg: launchpad and debian, sure :P | 13:33 |
| lmg | meh :P | 13:34 |
| MestreLion | lmg: you probably already have a launchpad account... if you ever used Ubuntu One, or bought anything in SC.. or used Ubuntu Forum, or Ask Ubuntu, etc | 13:34 |
| lmg | yeah, guess so. | 13:35 |
| xSora | hmmms :/ | 13:36 |
| cairne | trying to remember how to manually add an entry into grub | 13:37 |
| xSora | okay no rush | 13:37 |
| cairne | xSora, can try rebooting after having done the boot-repair | 13:37 |
| MestreLion | lmg: as for Debian, but reporting is a fancy wrapper over emails, so no need to "register" per se | 13:37 |
| wols | cairne: /etc/grub | 13:38 |

| MestreLion | teamview, eww :P | 13:42 |
| xSora | lol | 13:42 |
| cairne | MestreLion: it seems as tho its not recognizing the other hdd's however the pastebin from the boot-repair app does show them | 13:42 |
| cairne | can you direct os-prober to look at specific harddrive? | 13:43 |
| wols | cairne: it doesn't even have a manpage. "simple" script I think | 13:45 |
| MestreLion | xSora: if you'd open your teamview for me, the fist thing i'd do is to install a proper VNC (hech, even RCP) server and remove teamview... :P | 13:45 |
| savio | !os-prober | 13:45 |

| lmg | in the debian/menu + ubuntu software center | 14:03 |
| z3r0 | what kind of irc chat u use ??? | 14:03 |
| crankharder | ActionParsnip: I was hoping for something that was more supported and came without a warning :) | 14:03 |
| MestreLion | lmg: but description (and, thus, apt-get and friends) is already ModeLLer | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | crankharder: you can always compile it yourself | 14:04 |
| lmg | MestreLion: yeah, but 'menu' and softwarecenter don't and I want to fix that. | 14:04 |
| lmg | that is - the blender foundation asked me to fix it ;) | 14:04 |

| Promethes | ActionParsnip: clean install | 14:06 |
| FlashDeluxe | hi! is there a cli tool which works as proxy and changes my ip adress if i call that tool via terminal? | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: tried updating HPLIP? | 14:06 |
| crankharder | ActionParsnip: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found | 14:06 |
| MestreLion | Guys, does any experienced Ubuntu packager knows where is Software Center taking its package "headlines" from? I always assumed it was from package's debian/control file, just like in any other tool, but lmg spotted a different headline in blender package. Any ideas? | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | crankharder: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties | 14:07 |
| Promethes | ActionParsnip: hplip package is updated to the most recent version in official ubuntu repositories | 14:07 |
| lmat | How do I get this program? https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/mount.davfs.8.html | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: did you check the HPLIP site, to see if there is a newer version? | 14:07 |
| cairne | later #ubuntu | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: the repos don't always have the latest packages, in fact its quite rare | 14:08 |
| lmat | cairne: wait! | 14:08 |
| lmat | cairne: I need your help. | 14:08 |

| ActionParsnip | !info hplip quantal | 14:09 |
| ubottu | hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.12.6-3ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 86 kB, installed size 416 kB | 14:09 |
| Promethes | ActionParsnip: version on hplip website is the same version that is on ubuntu repository | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: it's not. I just looked | 14:09 |
| FlashDeluxe | lmat aptitude install davfs2 ? | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | FlashDeluxe: please don't advise aptitude | 14:09 |
| FlashDeluxe | lmat apt-get install davfs2 ? | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.12.10a.run is later than 3.12.6 isn't it? | 14:10 |
| lmat | FlashDeluxe: YAY! I tried install davfs with no hints or anything. | 14:10 |
| lmat | FlashDeluxe: davfs2 seems to be very good. | 14:10 |
| Promethes | ActionParsnip: you have right, those long version numbers | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: so why lie? | 14:10 |
| cairne | lmat, so you all set? | 14:10 |
| MestreLion | lmat: have you tried searching the Software Center for davfs ? | 14:10 |
| FlashDeluxe | lmat its the tool you were looking for ;) | 14:10 |
| lmat | cairne: eh...more set than I was. I got 301 Moved Permanently, but that's a separate problem :) | 14:11 |
| lmat | MestreLion: What is the Software Center? | 14:11 |
| MestreLion | :O | 14:11 |
| lmat | FlashDeluxe: I think so. mount -t davfs executed this time (and asked for username and password.). | 14:11 |
| FlashDeluxe | ActionParsnip sorry, i just copied the command, lazy as i am | 14:11 |
| cairne | ok im passing out now, lata #ubuntu | 14:11 |
| lmat | cairne: night! | 14:11 |
| MestreLion | lmat: you're using Ubuntu, correct? | 14:12 |
| lmat | MestreLion: correct-a-mundo@ | 14:12 |
| lmat | ! | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | FlashDeluxe: it's cool, if the OS is 64bit then apt-get can manage multiarch better, aptitude also isn't in a default install :) | 14:12 |
| lmat | MestreLion: (you?) | 14:12 |
| MestreLion | lmat: which version? | 14:12 |
| lmat | dunno, got it a week or so ago. | 14:12 |
| lmat | 12.04 | 14:13 |
| lmat | 12.04.1 LTS | 14:13 |
| lmat | MestreLion: ^ | 14:13 |
| MestreLion | lmat: you may notice there's a Ubuntu Software Center launcher on the left side of your screen | 14:13 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Negative, captain. | 14:13 |
| FlashDeluxe | ActionParsnip i guess in most cases it doesn`t make a difference if you use ap-get or a frontend, because most of the people just want to install a simple tool :) | 14:13 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Let me give you a screen shot. | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptitude | FlashDeluxe | 14:13 |
| ubottu | FlashDeluxe: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | lmat, FYI , @ isn't required on irc , typing the person's nick is enough for their nick highlight to work | 14:13 |
| MestreLion | lmat: if it's not there, you may have unpinned it from the launcher. You can find it using the dash (the "menu") | 14:14 |
| lmat | BluesKaj: (@ was a typo. I meant !) | 14:14 |
| Promethes | ActionParsnip: do i need remove hplip package installed from ubuntu repos before installing manually newer version from hplip website? | 14:15 |
| MestreLion | lmat: are you familiar with Ubuntu or any other Linux? | 14:15 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: why did you say the website had the same version as the repos did, when it clearly doesn't? | 14:15 |
| lmat | MestreLion: yes,sir. Getting that screen shot, just a sec. | 14:16 |
| FlashDeluxe | ActionParsnip ohh ok, didn`t know that this bug was such high critical, thanks for the info | 14:16 |
| lmat | MestreLion: http://imagebin.org/234338 | 14:16 |
| lmat | MestreLion: That's my screen. | 14:16 |
| MestreLion | lmat: the reason I'm asking so is you said you don't know what Ubuntu Software Center is... and yet you're trying to install davfs.. so something looks wrong | 14:16 |
| lmat | MestreLion: I installed davfs. | 14:17 |
| lmat | MestreLion: (Apparently it's called davfs2 these days ;) ) | 14:17 |
| MestreLion | oh, Xmonad ? | 14:17 |
| Promethes | ActionParsnip: because i looked too quick and did'nt read version number properly | 14:17 |
| lmat | MestreLion: What's that? | 14:17 |
| lmat | MestreLion: I'm guessing it has to do with X. I don't use X. | 14:17 |
| MestreLion | lmat: nevermind... the screenshot you posted looked like xmonad | 14:17 |
| MestreLion | it's a tiling DE | 14:18 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Ah, nope | 14:18 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Hold ALT+CTRL and press 1 | 14:18 |
| MestreLion | actually a tiling WM.. not a DE | 14:18 |
| lmat | MestreLion: type "sudo service lightdm stop" | 14:18 |
| lmat | MestreLion: then sudo apt-get install tmux | 14:18 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Then sudo apt-get install irssi | 14:18 |
| lmat | then | 14:18 |
| lmat | tmux && irssi then press ctrl+b, " and you're set :) | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Promethes: it may help to remove te old first, can't hurt | 14:19 |
| lmat | MestreLion: So, the tiling part is tmux. My IRC client is irssi | 14:19 |
| lmat | MestreLion: from xmonad site, "haskell + smart programming practices guarantee a *crash-free* experience." | 14:20 |
| MestreLion | lmat: by the way, the url you posted for davfs is from dapper... that's 5.xx iirc | 14:20 |
| GunArm | I was just running apt-get dist-upgrade and got all kinds of errors, most of which scrolled up off the screen but what I have is a bunch of like http://pastebin.com/UHAVqWx6 and as you can see at the bottom now I get "bus error" when I run apt-get, and other commands are giving seg faults.... wtf it was running fine before i tried to upgrade packages. Is it even safe to reboot? | 14:20 |
| lmat | MestreLion: haha! What is it in the combination of haskell and smart programmers that *guarantee* no crashes?!? | 14:20 |
| lmat | MestreLion: OOO :( | 14:20 |
| lmat | MestreLion: I was thinking dapper was a package (apt-get install dapper) ... I see now that it's an ubuntu version (dapper drake?). | 14:21 |
| MestreLion | lmat: when you want to search for packages, use http://packages.ubuntu.com | 14:21 |
| lmat | MestreLion: ahh, thanks! | 14:21 |
| MestreLion | no, dapper is an ubuntu release... | 14:21 |
| lmat | release, right. | 14:21 |
| MestreLion | a veeeeery old one | 14:22 |
| greg606 | hi | 14:22 |
| lmat | MestreLion: What about apt-cache search ? | 14:22 |
| lmat | MestreLion: Seems much better than some elinks site. | 14:22 |
| MestreLion | lmat: it will search only for packages in your current release | 14:22 |
| lmat | MestreLion: ahh, thanks. | 14:22 |
| greg606 | i have a problem: mouse freezes from time to time and also sometimes whole system I use amd test drivers cause in 12.10 defualt are broken (fglrx) may it be the cause? | 14:23 |
| MestreLion | if you're interested in "what happened to the old davfs i used in ubuntu 5 years ago", then the "elinks site" is you best shot ;) | 14:23 |
| greg606 | I have to reset the computer :( | 14:23 |
| greg606 | it's new and i'm worried | 14:23 |
| greg606 | cause it could be hardware | 14:23 |
| MestreLion | greg606: there are stable drivers besides the default, you don't need to use test drivers | 14:24 |
| greg606 | they are broken | 14:24 |
| MestreLion | greg606: all of them? | 14:24 |
| z3r0_ | hmm irssis look nice *G* | 14:25 |
| z3r0_ | some how | 14:25 |
| z3r0_ | *G* | 14:25 |
| greg606 | MestreLion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199 | 14:25 |
| MestreLion | not sure what is the default in 12.10... in precise it's 12.4, and AMD already released 12.6, 12.8 and 12.10, all stable... | 14:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1069199 in fglrx-installer-updates (Ubuntu) "1002:682f Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 7700M Series" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:25 |
| greg606 | I used ati proprietary | 14:26 |
| greg606 | stable yes... | 14:26 |
| greg606 | ;) | 14:26 |
| MestreLion | greg606: yes, there are some issues with 12.10 and ati proprietary for the Radeon HD 7000 series | 14:27 |
| kelye | hello, how can I change the terminal behaviour to act like putty terminal ? | 14:27 |
| greg606 | MestreLion: could it be my mouse problem? | 14:27 |
| kelye | (selecting copies the selected part) | 14:27 |
| lmg | MestreLion: any news? (did someone reply to your call) | 14:27 |
| MestreLion | greg606: its hard to tell. Have you tested a similar setup using 12.04 ? | 14:28 |
| mneptok | greg606: why not revert to the included "radeon" FLOSS driver and see if the mouse behaves properly? | 14:28 |
| MestreLion | greg606: you may also remove the ati proprietary and use the free source drivers, and see if the mouse still hangs | 14:29 |
| MestreLion | just to test if the problem is related | 14:29 |
| guang_ | how to uninstall ubuntu? | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | greg606: what AMD GPU do you have? | 14:29 |
| greg606 | MestreLion: i have uefi + win8 - damn hard to setup, i'm happy i did. not willing to move everything . | 14:29 |
| greg606 | ActionParsnip: 7950 | 14:29 |
| MestreLion | guang_: no operating system provides and "uninstall" feature. You simply delete its partition and revert the boot loader | 14:30 |
| Angells | vbfbv | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | greg606: then I suggest you report a bug | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: Ubunru via wubi does :) | 14:30 |
| Angells | free irc shell find? | 14:30 |
| greg606 | ActionParsnip: I can't while using unsopported drivers | 14:30 |
| MestreLion | ActionParsnip: hum, true. But again, not a "real" OS :P | 14:30 |
| mneptok | Angells: not in this channel. | 14:30 |
| Angells | but where? | 14:31 |
| mneptok | Angells: also, not a question for this channel | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: it is, its just stored in a file on NTFS and loop mounted at boot :P | 14:31 |
| === morphis is now known as morphis|away | ||
| === mrenouf is now known as mrenouf|away | ||
| MestreLion | greg606: if you don't want to install 12.04 (it usually installs fine with windows and other ubuntus, specially if you already have grup installed and working), then your best test would be to remove the catalyst driver and test the free radeon ones | 14:32 |
| MestreLion | ActionParsnip: humm, nice. I never knew how wubi did its magic :P | 14:32 |
| greg606 | MestreLion: i'll try | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: 'magic' in the loosest term :D | 14:33 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| === matt_ is now known as Guest62663 | ||
| mneptok | Wubi's magic is usually along the lines of "Watch me pull a hat out of a rabbit!" | 14:33 |
| MestreLion | ActionParsnip: but then, same procedure: delete it (file instead of partition) and fix boot (windows boot selection instead of mbr's grub) | 14:34 |
| MestreLion | ActionParsnip: I assume wubi also installs a windows software that does exactly that? | 14:34 |
| mneptok | MestreLion: Ubuntu is listed as an installed app in Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" i believe | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: oh totally, you can do it manually but there is an item in 'programs and features' to do it for you | 14:34 |
| GunArm | can anyone help me? my file system seems to have switched to read-only in the middle of a package upgrade, and now any sudo command returns 'bus error', top returns IO error, uptime gives a seg fault. What could cause this? Can I reboot? | 14:37 |
| MestreLion | would be neat if wubi also has a feature of installing "for real" and dd'ed the file to a parttion, so you keep all installed programs and settings | 14:37 |
| MestreLion | maybe it does have it already | 14:37 |
| compdoc | GunArm, when there are read/write errors, the FS swiches to read-only | 14:38 |
| compdoc | can you run the disk utility? | 14:38 |
| GunArm | which one? | 14:38 |
| morethananoise | hey, I've got problem with my ubuntu 12.10, i've just upgraded and nothing works.. Unity doesn't even show up, my mouse cursor disappears randomily, anyone can help..? | 14:38 |
| GunArm | probably not if | 14:38 |
| compdoc | gnome disk util | 14:38 |
| GunArm | compdoc: no i'm sshed in to my headless server | 14:39 |
| compdoc | click the Dash button and type in disk | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | morethananoise: what video chip do you use? | 14:39 |
| compdoc | you have smartctl installed? | 14:39 |
| GunArm | i think so | 14:39 |
| morethananoise | ActionParsnip: I use amd radeon hd 4200 | 14:39 |
| compdoc | GunArm, try: smartctl -a /dev/sda | 14:39 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: rebooting seems your only choice, considering you cannot run any commands. You can deal with interrupeted package installs later | 14:39 |
| compdoc | or whatever drive | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | morethananoise: then you'll want this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html | 14:40 |
| GunArm | compdoc: yeah i have to sudo it and it gives a bus error | 14:40 |
| compdoc | GunArm, use sudo fdisk -l to list the drives | 14:40 |
| compdoc | if you dont use sata, is wont be sda | 14:41 |
| velho | hello folks! how can I run Windows inside Linux? I can't remember the name of the progra... thanks! | 14:41 |
| GunArm | anything with sudo gives a buss error | 14:41 |
| compdoc | if its raid, it wont work anyway | 14:41 |
| MestreLion | velho: I'm very fond of VirtualBox | 14:41 |
| GunArm | i guess I'll have to reboot, but unfortunatly, I cant reboot over ssh if I cant do sudo, so I have to wait until my girlfriend wakes up at home and have her yank the plug out of the wall | 14:42 |
| GunArm | if I cant sudo I dont see any better way to reboot | 14:42 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: are you able to open other ssh sessions? | 14:42 |
| Nach0z | GunArm: why cantcha sudo? | 14:43 |
| mah454 | After receive this message in syslog : Nov 2 18:09:17 SkyNet kernel: [ 161.001911] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: PCI INT A disabled | 14:43 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: ill trye | 14:43 |
| mah454 | My mouse disabled ! | 14:43 |
| mah454 | How can fix this problem ? | 14:43 |
| GunArm | Nach0z: some kind of file system error on my root mount | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | GunArm: you can always boot to root recovery mode and reinstall sudo there, may help | 14:43 |
| Nach0z | GunArm: oh. you tried rebooting into the recovery prompt? | 14:43 |
| velho | MestreLion, thanks ;) | 14:43 |
| compdoc | mah454, new system? old system? it worked before? | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: usb mouse or touchpad? | 14:44 |
| MestreLion | guys, he's ussing ssh, so no sudo = no reboot | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: gah | 14:44 |
| GunArm | ActionParsnip: well sudo itself works (by itself it gives command options), but I think its more to do with being locked out of sbin or something | 14:44 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: try to open another connection, just to see if the machine is dead | 14:45 |
| Nach0z | GunArm: you tried manually specifying command paths? | 14:45 |
| mah454 | ActionParsnip: I use laptop , I connect mouse to system and after some second mouse disabled (Laptop Dell Vostro 3350) | 14:45 |
| Nach0z | s/command/executable | 14:45 |
| GunArm | interestingly no I can't log into a new ssh, possibly because there is that script at login that checks how many packages there are to upgrade which is crashing | 14:45 |
| velho | MestreLion, do you know VMWare? | 14:45 |
| MestreLion | velho: yes, but there is no native VMWare server in ubuntu repo | 14:46 |
| auronandace | !vmware | 14:46 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 14:46 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: fwiw I can navigate around my filesystem on this connection I had open, the machine isn't totally dead, just kinda useless heh | 14:46 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: non-sudo commands work fine? | 14:46 |
| velho | MestreLion, thanks! I was actually trying to find it there :D | 14:46 |
| mah454 | compdoc: ActionParsnip : please view this paste : http://dpaste.com/hold/822966/ | 14:47 |
| MestreLion | velho: install VirtualBox... it works great, and has a very nice GUI | 14:47 |
| Touhou11 | Those VMWare instructions are out of date... VMWare player lets you create your own virtual machines now, not just use existing ones | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: does the touchpad work ok? | 14:47 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: yes, I can do "apt-get moo", but not "sudo apt-get moo" | 14:47 |
| mah454 | ActionParsnip: yes work | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Touhou11: you can edit it, its a wiki | 14:47 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: I mean commands that don't require sude :P | 14:47 |
| Touhou11 | ActionParsnip: It requires a user account, you can't edit anonymously for some reason | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: how about if you unplug the mouse, wait a few seconds then shove it back in? | 14:48 |
| MestreLion | velho: do you specifically need VMWare ? | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Touhou11: well yeah, that's how wikis work | 14:48 |
| Touhou11 | Wikipedia lets you edit anonymously | 14:48 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: well some of them, i can cd around, and cat files, but "top" gives "-bash: /usr/bin/top: Input/output error" | 14:48 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, dude sence I got my apt-get update working with your help, it no longer see's any new updates at all?? | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Touhou11: then make an account, or report a bug | 14:49 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: can you write files? | 14:49 |
| mah454 | ActionParsnip: mouse work ... but after some second disabled ! | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: tried a different usb mouse? | 14:49 |
| mah454 | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:49 |
| mah454 | what is ehci_hcd ? | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: are you using a USB3 port? | 14:51 |
| KsM | mah454: driver for the USB ports, basically | 14:51 |
| mah454 | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:51 |
| mah454 | How can fix this problem ? | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: tried a USB2 port, you do realize that a mouse sends very little data | 14:52 |
| mah454 | But ubuntu 12.04 have not this problem ! (I use ubuntu 12.10) | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: its worth exploring though...don't you think | 14:53 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: it seems like no, not even in ~ (which is the same partition), and some subfolders of ~ i cant even ls in | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mah454: what do you hope to gain by using USB3 for mouse exactly? | 14:53 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, any thoughts about how to get my host to see the updates sence Oct 17th? | 14:54 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | rl | 14:54 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | hello | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:54 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: it seems like I dont have any options other than cutting power to the machine, which is just scary because I have a 10 TB raid array running on it | 14:54 |
| GunArm | although the raid array is still up and running (I can read and write to it) just not the / device | 14:55 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: i'd wait for someone with console access to check it out | 14:55 |
| flyer1229 | hello | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | just seen a youtube vid. Mouse transmits 0.01Mbps to the system. What a waste | 14:56 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, yah "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: sounds good | 14:56 |
| velho | how can I see how much space is in my disc, inside ubuntu? thank you | 14:56 |
| donofrio | I thought a bunch of updates have come out, at least 30?? | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | velho: df -h | 14:56 |
| tlopez | is there a webpage that shows if your laptop can run ubuntu from USB | 14:56 |
| tlopez | ? | 14:56 |
| MestreLion | GunArm: worst-case scenario, one could do a SysReq to nicely close all programs and shut it down | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: did the repos get 'hit' or were they 'ign'? | 14:57 |
| Parufito | hi! anybody knows if Gnome Classic is still available in Ubuntu 12.10 ? thanls | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tlopez: check in the BIOS | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: install gnome-panel and log of, choose the new available session | 14:57 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, Most "Hit" a bunch "ING" | 14:57 |
| MestreLion | velho: open your home folder... you can also right-click "computer" for its properties | 14:57 |
| velho | ActionParsnip, thanks! any GUI? | 14:57 |

| tlopez | I tried to install Ubuntu on my new laptop month ago , the laptop is new and expensive so maybe the drivers for linux have not come out yet for the hardware | 14:58 |
| abangmanja | cant upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. any help | 14:58 |
| GunArm | MestreLion: but even if I was to give someone root access to my server they couldnt ssh in. interesting I never knew about this sys req thing | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | velho: there is disk analyser in dash if memory serves. You already know the space though.... | 14:58 |
| abangmanja | ubuntu upgrade take forever to download | 14:59 |
| Parufito | thanks ActionParsnip. I have it in 12.04, but i was afraid that canonical decided to delete it from the repos. Thanks! | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | abangmanja: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades use the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) method | 14:59 |
| velho | ActionParsnip, cool! way simpler :) thanks | 14:59 |
| abangmanja | im using main server is that what you mean | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: You can always change desktop, there are 3rd party (unsupported) forks of gnome2 | 15:00 |
| MestreLion | velho: even simpler: open your home folder (Nautilus) and go View-> Statusbar. That will always show the free space of your current drive | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | abangmanja: it shows how to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS in CLI | 15:01 |
| Parufito | yes, but i preffer the gnome classic from ubuntu that is based in gnome3 but mantaining the simple gnome2 look :D | 15:01 |
| Parufito | i've tried some other without good feeling | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: if you install gnome-panel, you wil be using gnome3 | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: just with a different shell....gnome-shell | 15:01 |
| laumonier | hi ive got a problem on ubuntu my wifi internet conection is very slow unlike on my windows seven is there a way to fix this??any clue to help me? | 15:01 |
| MestreLion | Parufito: Cinnamon or MATE may be an option for you | 15:02 |
| onam | !ot | 15:02 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | laumonier: what wifi chip do you use? | 15:02 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | heh my mind has just gone blank and i have forgot what i was going to ask lol | 15:02 |
| Parufito | i've tried all and what worked better for me was the Gnome Classic in ubuntu 12.04... but i don' | 15:02 |
| * rainbowwarrior2 hugs Ubuntu 12.10 :o) | 15:03 | |
| abangmanja | ActionParsnip thanks | 15:03 |
| Parufito | the only problem was if caninical decided to delete it in 12.10, but if you say that not, i'll keep it :D | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: you could use XFCE, its got the Gnome2 smell | 15:03 |
| abangmanja | im happy with LTS 12.04 | 15:03 |
| MestreLion | abangmanja: +1. 5 years of support is a bliss :) | 15:04 |
| Parufito | i use xfce in my laptop :D is nice, but for my workstation i preffer the "gnome" stuff | 15:04 |
| MestreLion | blessing* | 15:04 |
| abangmanja | im trying to upgrade twice but fail now im stick to LTS | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Parufito: XFCE is made using GTK | 15:04 |
| mad-leigh | when my wifi is slow I open a online radio as it seems to help boost the signal quality - adsl+2 .... just my 2 cents | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | is it possible to use mutter with Ubuntu 12.04 + Unity? | 15:05 |
| velho | MestreLion, awesome! :) | 15:07 |
| MestreLion | lmg: still there? | 15:09 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, ok finshed and no new packages - so I should be uptodate or is it broken?? just want to be secure cause I cannot have this desktop get exploited | 15:10 |
| MestreLion | lmg: I've found it! Looks like USC also uses data from "Ubuntu App Directory", which is an online catalog with complementary package information | 15:12 |

| JimmyJohnny | I just booted into KUbuntu 12.10 off of my 8GB flash drive. Man, this this is slower than hell off a flash drive. Its USB 2.0. Im not so sure they should even encourage people to try the OS this way. It would probably drive people away. Unless I am doing something wrong but I dont know what it could be. | 15:15 |

| ActionParsnip | donofrio: I try :D | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Srini: can you ping the server? | 15:17 |
| JimmyJohnny | i think so, i really didnt read the details, its supposed to be a more graphically enhanced version of the vanilla Ubuntu, so i said, yeah let me try that | 15:17 |
| theFantasticTrol | it uses the kde desktop if im not wrong | 15:17 |
| theFantasticTrol | just usable for fast computers with good graphics cards really | 15:18 |
| skypce | hello guys, a problem with irqs can do the mouse slow after resume? | 15:18 |
| theFantasticTrol | not recommended on a usb stick lol | 15:18 |
| skypce | or irq problems freeze all the pc? | 15:18 |
| TheJelly | Is the hard drive performance penalty in a Wubi install significant? | 15:18 |
| JimmyJohnny | sounds right, Im not gonnna be able to form any opinions until I re-burn the ISO to a CD and just boot from that, running off USB is not worth it. My computer is good enough, got an i3-2105, just can't belileve the slow speed off usb | 15:18 |

| skypce | hello ActionParsnip | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | JimmyJohnny, the live media versions are always slower then the real installed OS anyway | 15:20 |
| theFantasticTrol | if you want a ubuntu version try lubuntu or xubuntu, they are the least memory/cpu consuming ones | 15:21 |
| theFantasticTrol | for ubs that is | 15:21 |

| MestreLion | lmg: and it makes perfect sense to extract the "highlight" from there too: the description in the package is always in english, while the .desktop file info can contain several languages. So USC can show a package description in the user's own language | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JuJuBee: what GPU do you use? | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported? | 15:25 |

| gnagno | hello all | 15:28 |
| donofrio | ActionParsnip, ok this one is weird - I cannot change servers, I can test for best but the software sources screen just says on "main server" | 15:28 |
| x__ | whats the best way to have a script run every 30 seconds or so, but not have multiple instances going at a time ?? | 15:28 |
| JuJuBee | ActionParsnip: GPU : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 | 15:29 |
| wols | x__: cron and the first thing the script does is creating a lock file and checking it | 15:29 |
| JuJuBee | ActionParsnip: the laptop is actually one of my students' | 15:29 |
| wols | x__: and before it ends, releases the lock of course | 15:29 |
| gnagno | I just updated from precise to quantal, my video driver are totally screwed up, when I try to reinstall nvidia drivers the process hangs at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic and stays there for hours... can someone help me please? | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | donofrio: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change 'archive.ubuntu.com' to 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com' | 15:29 |
| JimmyJohnny | I've tried booting UBuntu off the CD in the past and it worked a hell of a lot faster than bootinng off a USB stick. | 15:29 |
| x__ | wols, yea I don't know how to bash script ;-P its an archive extracting python script someone else wrote that I am using manually atm. | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported with KDE and the Intel 950 GPU? | 15:30 |
| wols | x__: you can do it in python too... | 15:30 |
| JuJuBee | ActionParsnip: looking now | 15:30 |
| x__ | wols, well I don't know python, not a programmer :-P | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: if you have a desktop UI, you can use gnome-schedule | 15:30 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, nah its command line | 15:31 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: it's not the cron thing that is the problem :) | 15:31 |
| x__ | wols, this is the script https://bitbucket.org/markstahler/auto-extract-python/src/7ba39f76ebc50e11739300e5fde062312a1732f1/auto-extract.py?at=default | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: i see | 15:31 |
| x__ | the script creates an .unrared file in the dir to state its already done its business and not to do it again, so maybe I can just add a cron job and it will work fine already ? | 15:31 |

| Dshoe | Hey all, I have an 8GB flash drive I want to use but the last thing I did with it was restore an OS X install disk to it before I sold my MacBook. I tried opening Gparted and I got a message saying "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." My options are cancel and ignore, If I hit ignore then Gparted crashes. | 15:36 |
| x__ | wols, so do I just paste that code in to the beginning of the script... ? | 15:37 |
| x__ | wols, sorry experienced linux user, very very novice coder ;-P | 15:37 |
| JimmyJohnny | Dshoe you should install a bootable image of Ubuntu on a flash drive by itself, thats probably the safest thing to do | 15:37 |
| Dshoe | JimmyJohnny, and run gparted from there I'm assuming? | 15:37 |
| NikP | Hello. | 15:38 |
| === n00b981 is now known as n00b982 | ||
| JimmyJohnny | Dshoe i am not familiar with gparted, just saying if you want to try Ubuntu from a flash drive maybe its best to format the flash drive FAT32 as one partition, install the Linux image and run from there | 15:39 |
| Dshoe | JimmyJohnny, your misinterpreting my issue. I need to format this flash drive and can't. | 15:40 |
| Dshoe | Gparted (common tool) gives me an error and then crashes before creating a new partition table. | 15:40 |
| JimmyJohnny | Dshoe oh, not sure on that, I just did mine using Windows 7 with a right-click and then "Format" | 15:40 |
| NikP | Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Sorry, I'm not so good in English ;-) | 15:40 |
| Dshoe | My issue is that this is formatted to an OS X partition table because the last thing I did with it was install a fresh OS X before shipping out my laptop. | 15:41 |
| Linkandzelda | hello, is there a PAE patch for 32 bit ubuntu to make use of my 16 GB ram on 32 bit machine? | 15:42 |
| JimmyJohnny | Dshoe, maybe there is a utility like "diskwipe" or something to simply zero out the drive, im a windows users for the most part, but windows 8 has me looking at taking a more serious look at linux | 15:42 |
| somsip | !pae | Linkandzelda | 15:43 |
| ubottu | Linkandzelda: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 15:43 |
| Linkandzelda | thanks a lot | 15:43 |
| DJones | Linkandzelda: If you're using 12.10, pae is enabled by default | 15:43 |

| Connorhd | I'm having a problem with uwsgi on ubuntu 12.04, when I use "service uwsgi reload" it reloads the first time, but not after that, it appears to be because the process name changes from uwsgi to uwsgi-core after the first reload. I'm not sure if there is a good place for me to report this bug? | 15:44 |
| DJones | Linkandzelda: The details are in the link from ubottu anyway | 15:44 |
| NikP | Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Nice when I use SSH) | 15:44 |
| x__ | NikP, what are you trying to test ? | 15:44 |
| rihen | hello | 15:45 |
| NikP | x__: What do you mean? | 15:45 |
| easy | I have an external hard drive with bad sectors.. my guess that its only the beginning of the disk.. how can I scan for bad sectors and then format the disk away from the bad sectors? | 15:46 |
| x__ | NikP, your question made no sense to me, what are you trying to test through SSH ? | 15:47 |
| x__ | easy, how many bad sectors ? and you can use the gnome disk tool. | 15:47 |
| NikP | x__: I would use it for remote maintenance | 15:48 |
| x__ | easy, most drives will flag sectors that are bad to not be used, and they have a few extra ones to replace them, I have a 1TB HD that has 1 bad sector that came out of an external drive and has been fine and in usre for several years since then. | 15:48 |
| x__ | NikP, ok, I still don't know what that means, just login via SSH and run whatever commands you want to use. | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | Hey. Can I use grep to select every file in a directy, except subdirectories and files ending with ".mkv"? | 15:49 |
| NikP | x__: Yes, that's it. | 15:49 |
| jrib | sevenforall: you could use grep, but you wouldn't. You probably want to use find | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | jrib: Touché | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | jrib: How do I use find in a way it excludes .mkv files? | 15:50 |

| JMS32 | When i'm trying to install ubuntu from USB it's write what can't mount CD | 15:53 |
| JMS32 | What to do? | 15:53 |
| krofna | jrib: sudo: ./mapextractor: command not found | 15:53 |
| _val_ | krofna: chmod +x ./my_executable if this is a script. | 15:54 |

| _val_ | err. chmod +x my_executable | 15:54 |
| jrib | sevenforall: yes... are you on ubuntu? Why are you skimming and googling, just use the keystrokes I said above | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | JMS32: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 15:54 |
| krofna | _val_: that doesnt seem to do anything | 15:55 |
| sevenforall | jrib: The manual doesn't add any useful information, hehe | 15:55 |
| jrib | _val_: what you said would work too :) | 15:55 |
| jrib | sevenforall: there are some examples that use !, if you want to search for that. What do you have doubts about? | 15:55 |
| _val_ | jrib: ./my_executable is not a valid filename I guess. | 15:55 |
| _val_ | I mean passing it as a parameter to chmod | 15:56 |
| krofna | It is. And no, its not a script, its compiled executable.. | 15:56 |
| jrib | _val_: you provide a path to chmod, ./my_executable is fine | 15:56 |
| sevenforall | jrib: I'm using "find -not *.mkv" which doesn't get me anything but a usage error | 15:56 |
| JMS32 | ActionParsnip, yes. 4bd3270bde86d7e4e017e3847a4af485 All is ok | 15:56 |

| sevenforall | jrib: Okay, a bit further now | 15:57 |
| sevenforall | Thanks | 15:57 |
| jrib | krofna: it's probably something that tries to run inside the file that it can't find | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | the thing to rember is the 'shell' is the one expanding wild cards.. unless they are quoted and passed to the command. sevenforall . | 15:58 |

| javierf_ | ge, but no text (then, I kind of guess what arrived depending on the row). This happened a week after I tried to configure the colour changing indicator depending of the status. Nothing in google. Someone knows what can be happening? Thanks! | 16:08 |

| TomyLobo | hi | 16:11 |
| sasori | any nvidia gpu masters in here who can help me with this problem??? 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. | 16:11 |

| Aleksander | Hello. Do you know what's wrong with xorg-video-abi-12 on 12.10? Neither -12 or -11 has an installation candidate | 16:11 |
| TomyLobo | i noticed that the hibernation in 12.04 is disabled by default. and earlier my system booted instead of unhibernating. | 16:11 |
| Aleksander | sasori, paste your xorg.conf | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | sasori: normal routine for me is install the os, 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' (reboot) then run nvidia-settings. | 16:11 |
| TomyLobo | is that why it's disabled by default? | 16:11 |
| sasori | dr_willis: thats exactly what i did to lead me to this problem | 16:12 |
| sasori | unfortunately | 16:12 |
| sasori | i then tty out, and stoped ldm, or whatever its called and tried nvidia setting again, no avbail | 16:13 |
| sasori | Aleksander: not tooo good with that, where can i find that?? | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | i dont even need an xorg.conf for my nvidia ssytem on 12.10 | 16:13 |
| Aleksander | sasori, gksu gedit /etc/xorg.conf | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support it then it will be disabled | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: not /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:14 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, ow right | 16:14 |
| Aleksander | my bad, sorry | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: ;) | 16:14 |

| daschel | es the amd card, so the intel chip would be sufficient, but the fan seems to run needlessly and I figured that was a driver issue. would it be better just to use a temp monitor/fan speed control | 16:18 |

| Aleksander | sasori, what's your normal resolution? | 16:23 |
| TomyLobo | <ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support [hibernate] then it will be disabled | 16:23 |
| Aleksander | sasori, try "xrandr -s 1280x1024" or whatever your max res is | 16:24 |
| sasori | Aleksander: yah.... the closest i got was accepting mint with cinnamon, which was nice, but eventually, had to change b/c of hang issues | 16:24 |
| TomyLobo | i'm on a brand new laptop. the hardware shouldnt be a problem | 16:24 |
| sasori | Aleksander: yah but that wont allow me to chenge the actual nvidia controls, which is the problem | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | actually 'brand new' as in just released to the market - can be a bigger problem with drivers... | 16:25 |

| wilee-nilee | tomy222, You need the grub bootloader in sda that is the HD mbr, it has windows there now, I assume the bootrepair loads it. You can chroot to the ubuntu install and do all of this from a command line as well. | 17:58 |

| juril | Hi there.. I'm setting up serial console access for ubuntu 12.10.. I refer to the documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto), but /etc/event.d/ttyS0 doesn't seem anymore the right place for the upstart script. I think the right place now is /etc/init.d/, do I need to change anything regarding the script itself? Thanks! | 18:06 |

| gordonjcp | heh | 18:09 |
| rephy222 | it was a python script | 18:09 |
| dr_willis | cool_boy: you can put the iso in a 'live' setup on excternal media you then boot/install from | 18:09 |
| dr_willis | rephy222: thats telling us very little. | 18:10 |
| rephy222 | cool_boy: yeah u need an iso and i would use unetbootin to install it on a thumb drive | 18:10 |
| dr_willis | cool_boy: 12.10 only has the desktop or server iso's :) if you want a desktop install iuse the desktop... | 18:10 |
| dr_willis | pendrivelinux has alternatives to unetbootin as well to make a bootable external install usb. | 18:10 |
| overclucker | lloowen: it looks like natty is still in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ so, as long as you use the official repos, you can replace the dist with natty and it should work | 18:11 |

| nb-ben | hi is there a way for me to use 2 different workspaces on 2 monitors? | 19:01 |
| brandon420 | chipotle, yeah, they will. | 19:01 |
| nb-ben | so that each monitor uses a different workspace | 19:01 |
| brandon420 | nb-ben, that would be cool, but i dont think that you can. | 19:02 |
| wilee-nilee | tomy222, I had wondered if the chroot was good. | 19:02 |
| chipotle | brandon420 what drivers do you need to get the touchscreen capability? | 19:02 |
| chipotle | i can't find anything online... | 19:02 |
| nb-ben | yeah I don't think so aswell so I figured I'd ask | 19:02 |
| brandon420 | i have been using dual monitors for awhile and never seen a option like that. | 19:02 |
| nb-ben | maybe someone found a way :D | 19:02 |
| nb-ben | I think you could run 2 different X clients on them | 19:02 |
| rephy222 | i was trying to edit my hosts file so i could use wildcards and i think it turned on a proxy and i wanna turn it off | 19:03 |
| nb-ben | I mean X servers | 19:03 |
| nb-ben | one for each monitor | 19:03 |
| nb-ben | but that would be completely different X environment | 19:03 |

| brandon420 | i always knew link would be the last one standing. | 19:06 |
| linkandzelda | regarding mac mini 2011, doesnt even get to the grub bootloader when booting from CD or USB | 19:06 |

| abdostar | hello, I am about to install ubuntu, and I have a question about swap partition, do I really need, and does it really improve performance | 19:07 |
| brandon420 | Did you make sure that you were booting to the right device? linkandzelda | 19:07 |
| brandon420 | abdostar, how much ram do you have? ssd or standard hdd? | 19:08 |
| dfgas-cr48 | how do i reconfigure a package like when it first installs? | 19:08 |
| linkandzelda | brandon420, natrually, it wont even boot the Plop bootloader cd either | 19:08 |
| linkandzelda | just gives me a black screen | 19:08 |
| abdostar | 4Gb and HDD | 19:08 |
| linkandzelda | im totally gutted ;/ | 19:08 |
| rephy222 | is there anyway to do like a restore on ubuntu to undo any changes within a timeperiod | 19:08 |
| abdostar | brandon420: 4gb and HDD | 19:08 |
| brandon420 | abdostar, I don't see why you would need a swap space. But since you have a hdd, there would be no adverse effects of having it except the losing the space. | 19:09 |
| brandon420 | linkandzelda, I would check the the bois settings. I have never touched a mac, so i dont know how much different they would be. Sounds like it is looking in the wrong place to me. | 19:10 |
| abdostar | brandon420: thank you, that's help. I was using linux mint, and worried about the GUI, will that be a challenge for me untill I get used to it | 19:11 |
| wilee-nilee | rephy222, Ubuntu does not have a restore function like windows. You might try explaining the problem in the form of a question. | 19:11 |
| linkandzelda | brandon420, it is looking in the wrong place, but its actually skipping the drives and trying to boot a windows partition whuch isnt there. the probem is, macs have no bios | 19:11 |
| wilee-nilee | not to me but the channel | 19:12 |
| systems7 | hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port? | 19:12 |
| === KindOne| is now known as KindOne | ||
| wilee-nilee | dfgas-cr48, You need to tell the channel what the package is. | 19:12 |
| brandon420 | abdostar, it should be alright. If you are new to linux i would start with ubuntu (the most documented distro) But mint is pretty user friendly from the get-go | 19:13 |
| brandon420 | linkandzelda, let me google really fast. | 19:13 |
| rephy222 | i installed a dnsproxy python script to allow wildcards in my hosts file and now i cant browse certain websites | 19:13 |
| dfgas-cr48 | wilee-nilee, mysql-server | 19:13 |
| rephy222 | and i wanna undo whatever the script did | 19:13 |
| abdostar | brandon420: thank you, sine all is clear now, I wil start formating and installing, see you guys later | 19:14 |
| rephy222 | http://code.google.com/p/marlon-tools/source/browse/tools/dnsproxy/dnsproxy.py this is the script | 19:14 |
| brandon420 | abdostar, you are welcome, good luck! | 19:14 |
| linkandzelda | brandon420, ive been googling for almost 1-2 days now. but get this. as soon as i mention mac people have no idea, and i cant find a solution | 19:14 |
| linkandzelda | so, let me ask this | 19:15 |
| linkandzelda | what if it wasnt a mac? | 19:15 |
| brandon420 | you would just change the boot order in the bois. | 19:16 |
| brandon420 | it is much easier. | 19:16 |
| brandon420 | have you tried holding down the "C" key while restarting it? | 19:16 |
| wilee-nilee | dfgas-cr48, I would ask in #ubuntu-server if you get no answer here. | 19:17 |
| linkandzelda | brandon420, iĺl try holding that C key i havent | 19:17 |
| brandon420 | i see a few documents that say todo that | 19:17 |

| brontosaurusrex | linkandzelda: also if you are in osx, there is an option in prefs, for what will be next boot device | 19:19 |
| linkandzelda | brontosaurusrex, thanks, but using the alt key lets you select the device you want at boot, and thats what i been doing | 19:19 |

| brandon420 | 12.10 isn't bad. | 19:30 |
| coz_ | wait that means something else ;) | 19:30 |
| SailorMoon | ;) | 19:30 |
| SailorMoon | i would love the heck out of ubuntu, if it was real. Need to offer an actual installable rom instead of this weirdness | 19:30 |
| SOLEIL | I'm not sure about it, I always have to fix a lot of things to make all work | 19:30 |
| brandon420 | and coz_ I think that the fading backgrounds are just a setting in the background settings. | 19:30 |
| coz_ | brandon420, ah I will check,, thanks | 19:31 |
| brandon420 | I noticed that there is a time symbol on the ones that change. | 19:31 |

| Guest47081 | bekks, I have a RAID5 hard drives that Ubuntu sees fine (3 partitions 4 GB, 1 GB , and 605 GB - these have an old version of Kubuntu installed) and I have a seperate physical HDD directly plugged into one of my SATA ports on my motherboard (this is the one with Windows installed) | 20:16 |

| wols | bkfitz: learn to configure a VPN | 20:16 |
| onewithhammer | wols: did you scan him? | 20:17 |
| wols | yes I ran nmap on his host to check what he said about port 1720. and he was wrong: nmap doesn't show that port open at all | 20:17 |
| bekks | Guest47081: You are mixing up "partitions" and "drives" in a way I dont understand how many drives you have. | 20:18 |
| AndChat560000 | Hi | 20:18 |
| bekks | Guest47081: How many physical disk drives do you have? | 20:18 |
| bkfitz | wols: :) | 20:18 |
| bkfitz | wols: ufw deny 5432. done | 20:18 |
| wols | bkfitz: but for the future, a VPN would be a good idea (imho) | 20:18 |
| wols | bkfitz: or even a ssh port forward | 20:19 |
| bkfitz | wols: agree... just never done it and haven't had time.. .but that nmap result is weird... did you see 1720 when you ran it? | 20:19 |
| wols | same for the proxy if it is one, and of course disable ftp altogether. you have ssh, that's enough :) | 20:19 |
| Guest47081 | bekks, sorry I have 4 total drives (3 are in a RAID 5 array using a MegaRAID PCI controller) and the forth is the one with Windows only installed... so total of 4 physical drives | 20:19 |
| wols | bkfitz: no nmap | 20:19 |
| bkfitz | wols: huh... ok thx :) | 20:20 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| wols | bkfitz: whenever nmap shows a port, use telnet or nc to connect to it, to see if it actually responds. | 20:20 |
| bkfitz | wols: good policy thx | 20:20 |
| wols | and when you own the host in question, always use sudo netstat -anp |grep LIST | 20:20 |
| bekks | Guest47081: Then why do we see 3 drives, while (since you are using a HW raid controller) we should see only 2 drives (the RAID and the 4th drive)? | 20:21 |
| === obli-AWAY is now known as Oblivious | ||
| Guest47081 | bekks, the raid is split into 3 logical drives (4GB, 1GB swap, 605 GB) via the PCI card, I also am running Ubuntu LiveCD through a USB stick (4GB)...... my missing WIndows HDD is 250GB | 20:25 |

| delinquentme | and then what if i need to make it recursive? | 20:38 |
| wols | bkfitz: yes | 20:39 |
| bkfitz | wols: this is a production server... do I need to worry about messing things up... should I try on our test box here :) | 20:39 |
| wols | bkfitz: or for the short term, quick fix, a ssh port forward | 20:39 |
| bkfitz | wols: ssh port fwd? | 20:39 |
| bkfitz | wols: 22 - 5432 | 20:40 |
| wols | bkfitz: never noticed any problem but since it's a VPS, I dunno how the virtualization is handled. OpenVPN needs to create a kernel network interface for itself of course | 20:40 |
| bkfitz | wols: won't that route all traffic on 22 to 5432 | 20:40 |
| TaJMoX | kev^ It's because the user is in the ACPI group (/etc/group) | 20:40 |
| mr_david | delinquentme: grep -R | 20:40 |
| TaJMoX | kev^ that gives him permission to use shutdown | 20:40 |
| Bsims | Ah it appears its a kernel bug, its being loaded as a bulk usb | 20:41 |
| bkfitz | wols: apparently they support it : http://library.linode.com/networking/openvpn :) | 20:41 |
| wols | bkfitz: no it won't. you designate a single port on your client end, and everything you send to this local port will get forwarded to the pgsql port on the remote machine | 20:41 |
| TaJMoX | kev^ Wait, there is no acpi group on this OS. So it must be the sudo group or adm group. | 20:42 |
| Bsims | wols: thanks anyway... lol just got to run a wire to see if I can get a kernel update to get the wireless to work | 20:42 |

| systems7 | huh? | 20:49 |
| systems7 | i only asked once | 20:49 |
| wols | systems7: how is this ubuntu support related? | 20:49 |
| Guest47081 | bekks, yes... if I reboot and go to my bios and set the Windows Harddrive to boot first, than Windows boots fine | 20:49 |
| bekks | systems7: At least two times. At 214820 and 214852 | 20:49 |
| systems7 | becuase its gonna trigger an ubuntu commoand | 20:49 |
| Guest47081 | bekks, I even tried new SATA cables on all my drives | 20:50 |
| TaJMoX | RealOptyz use the ATI or Nvidia control software? | 20:50 |
| bekks | Guest47081: Which Ubuntu do you use exactly? | 20:50 |
| TaJMoX | RealOptyz I don't know how to do it if you have an Intel card. | 20:50 |
| wols | systems7: that doesn't make it ubuntu related at all. sounds more like something for #electronics or #hardware | 20:50 |
| RealOptyz | Yes im aware of that | 20:50 |
| RealOptyz | I was hoping for a command line approach | 20:50 |
| systems7 | wols: thanks | 20:50 |
| TaJMoX | RealOptyz For me, when I'm using my monitor it automatically chooses 1920x1200 and when I turn on my TV it selects 1280x720 automatically (ATI) | 20:51 |
| Guest47081 | bekks, currently I am running off a Live CD. on the EXT3 drives it has a old 8.xx Kubuntu version | 20:51 |
| RealOptyz | I was kind of reading about xrandr. Maybe there is a way to set a 'preferred ' | 20:51 |
| Guest47081 | bekks, sorry the livecd is Ubuntu 12.10 | 20:51 |
| lloowen | Hello all! Can anyone point me to a good tutorial about how to change a kernel from the command line as I want to change the kernel on my VPS, if that is at all possible! | 20:53 |
| RealOptyz | TaJMoX: When using my TV it likes to auto select 1366*768. quite irritating lol | 20:53 |
| bekks | lloowen: It isnt, since the kernel image is built by your ISP, to fit their needs. | 20:53 |
| bekks | lloowen: So unless your ISP provides a new package for you, you'll have to stay on that kernel. | 20:54 |
| lloowen | bekks: Hmmm I figured something like that was happening. I changed from 10.04 to 11.04 but the kernel was the same! | 20:54 |
| wols | bekks: wouldn't that depend on the kind of VPS? e.g. he might run under a Xen one | 20:55 |
| dbugger | Hey guys. I have connected my Playstation to the aux in, on my computer. How can I make that the audio comes out through the speakers? | 20:55 |
| physically_fit | hi friends | 20:55 |
| bekks | lloowen: Because updating the release will not update the kernel automagically. | 20:55 |
| bekks | wols: And without a domU kernel, he'll break his VPS. :) | 20:56 |
| lloowen | bekks: I suspect my VPS have rigged it so that it is practically impossible to set up a tun/tap interface or even run openSwan | 20:57 |
| chris_is_me | so is there a way to disable screen blanking that works better than installing xscreensaver as with xscreensaver running when i reopen my laptop lid it never wakesup | 20:57 |
| Jaime | dbugger: you should enable the mic output and turn up the volume, did you do it? | 20:58 |
| sudokode | chris_is_me: xset | 20:58 |
| dbugger | How do I do that? | 20:58 |
| bekks | lloowen: Well, then you have to contact their support, I guess. | 20:58 |
| dbugger | Jaime, Im not sure how to do that in Ubuntu | 20:58 |
| Jaime | you should open the audio preferences in the system setup | 20:58 |
| chris_is_me | sudokode: doesn't work tryed that | 20:58 |
| physically_fit | dbugger, i don't know if this can help you, but i was reading this today; it helped me to listen to my mic through my speakers: http://blog.flipzu.com/2011/02/how-to-mix-voice-and-audio-on-ubuntu.html | 20:58 |

| dbugger | Jaime, i rightclick on the speaker icon and I open "Sound Settings" Over there in the Input tab theres nothing really to enable | 21:00 |

| AlexNagy | Gerowen: why? It works, sort of. | 21:02 |
| physically_fit | dbugger anotate this command too, or you'll get too many sound streams: pactl unload-module <number> | 21:03 |
| dbugger | physically_fit, but isnt that article for the "mic" jack? | 21:03 |
| dbugger | I have the console on the aux-in jack | 21:03 |
| physically_fit | dbugger, yeah, that's why i said i wasn't sure if that could help you, but it may guide you somewhere.... | 21:04 |
| Gerowen | It works well enough for calls to other skype users, but for some reason when I've tried using it to interact with land-line phones it doesn't ring half the time when people call, sometimes when I call a number I know is correct I get re-routed to a random person, and more often than not when someone does answer when I've called them the phone stays totally silent and I have to hang up and call back a 2nd time. | 21:04 |
| physically_fit | over the rainbow | 21:04 |

| dbugger | I remember typing some sort of command in the terminal, which showed me something similar to the alsamixer, but with lot more channels. Turning one of them up fixed the issue | 21:05 |
| physically_fit | dbugger, also the command alsamixer you can enable the tracks you need | 21:05 |
| RealOptyz | How can i make it so when i use my tv, to auto select 720p mode? plz and ty in advanced :) | 21:05 |

| Samus_Aran | dbugger: ALSA provides no wrapping for the mixer items, meaning that it is whatever the hardware provides. this is often non-sensical to humans. sometimes you need to adjust two or even three mixer controls to actually do what you want. | 21:09 |
| dbugger | Samus_Aran, Id adjust 20 if I knew which ones :P | 21:10 |

| physically_fit | linkandzelda, 12.10 or 12.04? | 21:18 |
| Greg___ | is Policykit-1 default or is that something I have to download seperate | 21:18 |
| linkandzelda | physically_fit, 12.10 | 21:18 |

| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: you could try the alternate install CD | 21:19 |
| chitra | it is happening with all the packages | 21:19 |
| Greg___ | No I did not remove it, but I know that is another way to fix the problem if that is installed. | 21:20 |
| BluPhenix316 | Samurs_Aran: what is that? I've tried burning the ISO to a disc and writing it to a usb stick and same thing | 21:20 |
| chitra | sudo apt-get install postgresql | 21:20 |
| bekks | Greg___: Thats no fix at all for a broken sudoers file. | 21:20 |
| BluPhenix316 | what is the alternate install cd? | 21:20 |
| bekks | Greg___: since root has no pw set, you cant login as root. | 21:21 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: sometimes the default install CD has issues with the graphics card in the system and ends up without a visible screen. in those cases, there is the alternate install CD that doesn't have graphics. | 21:21 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: it uses a semi-graphical text mode installer that is fairly easy to follow | 21:21 |
| Greg___ | ahh ok | 21:21 |
| Greg___ | Thank you very much | 21:22 |

| BluPhenix316 | Samurs_Aran: the problem i'm having through is, complicated, I had it working before, I was dual-booting between windows 7 and windows 8(i hate it, but it was a required school project), I installed ubuntu overtop of windows 8 but couldn't get back into 7, so i installed windows 8 again, removed windows 8 from windows boot manager and tried to reinstall ubuntu and now the disc just sends me to the grub prompt | 21:22 |
| Samus_Aran | Greg___: then you can do "visudo" to edit the file | 21:23 |
| BluPhenix316 | i really can't stand uefi but i'm stuck with it for now | 21:23 |
| linkandzelda | BluPhenix316, do you have a mac or a pc? | 21:23 |
| trism | chitra: did you run: sudo apt-get update; yet? | 21:23 |
| Greg___ | Awesome :) thank you | 21:23 |
| BluPhenix316 | linkandzelda: pc, Alienware X-51 | 21:23 |
| chitra | no | 21:23 |
| linkandzelda | i see | 21:23 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: GRUB is installed to your hard drive, if it's booting from CD there is no GRUB involved. it sounds like your BIOS is not booting from the CD | 21:24 |
| trism | chitra: then do it and try again | 21:24 |
| chitra | trism : i was getting same in sudp apt-get update too | 21:24 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: do you have to press some key to choose to boot from CD? | 21:24 |
| chitra | but now it is showing me there are some updates | 21:24 |
| chitra | trism: why does that needs, I mean I have just downloaded ubuntu12.04 ,is not a updated one? | 21:25 |
| BluPhenix316 | no | 21:25 |
| BluPhenix316 | and its not grub, i installed mint fine but i was hoping to install ubuntu | 21:26 |
| linusoleander | Can I specify a pid file when using "nohup" ? | 21:26 |
| bekks | linusoleander: No. | 21:26 |
| BluPhenix316 | i know its a uefi issue but i'm running out of ideas | 21:26 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: what? you said it goes black on a GRUB screen. there is no GRUB on the Ubuntu install CD at all, it uses I think ISOLinux | 21:26 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Do you know anything similar to nohup which makes it possible to specify a pid file? | 21:26 |
| trism | chitra: you have to run that after you first install to download the latest package index, otherwise you won't be able to install most packages | 21:27 |
| bekks | linusoleander: Specifying a pid file will not help you at all. A pid file is not a running process, but a file. | 21:27 |
| chitra | trism: thanks | 21:27 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Yes, i know. But I need to pid for the process that's being started | 21:27 |
| linkandzelda | now I've installed Ubuntu I have no idea what to do next lol | 21:27 |
| BluPhenix316 | Samus_Aran, when i put the cd in, it goes to a grub prompt, if i don't have the cd in, i can choose either a windows boot manager or mint | 21:28 |
| bekks | linusoleander: You cant predict the PID that is gonna be used. | 21:28 |
| * Descriptioned Hello Moto ¶ | 21:28 | |
| BluPhenix316 | and the grub prompt says grub version 1.99something something ubuntu something hehe | 21:28 |
| physically_fit | ikonia, friend, are you here? | 21:28 |
| chitra | trism: I was thinking to install the packages and start my work and later ,updates can run , So it is not a right way? | 21:28 |
| linusoleander | bekks I want to tell the current application to use a specific file as pid pile | 21:28 |
| linusoleander | *file | 21:28 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: okay, that's news to me that the CD is using GRUB. I guess GRUB 2 can manage boot CDs | 21:28 |
| linusoleander | nohup --pid /tmp/prod.pid && kill `/tmp/prod.pid` | 21:29 |
| BluPhenix316 | Samus_Aran: i tried using linux usb creator, which normally uses syslinux, but that uses grub as well | 21:29 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Like that ^ | 21:29 |
| BluPhenix316 | for ubuntu 12.10 | 21:29 |
| bekks | linusoleander: That is not possible as I just stated. | 21:29 |
| trism | chitra: update doesn't install new packages, just index for the packages, you use apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade; to upgrade the packages | 21:30 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Why is that, it works with "rackup" for example | 21:30 |
| BluPhenix316 | maybe my iso is just corrupt and i should download another | 21:30 |
| bekks | linusoleander: I never heard of "rackup" until now. | 21:30 |
| bekks | linusoleander: And killing a file, not a PID, is just nonsense. | 21:31 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Yeah, I missed the cat part | 21:31 |
| linusoleander | bekks: The idea of specifying a pid file for a process isn't strange at all. Why would it? | 21:31 |
| BluPhenix316 | think Secure Boot would effect it any? right now I have secure boot disabled | 21:31 |
| linusoleander | I can do it for mysql, postgresql, redis and so on | 21:32 |
| cjoseph | I have some source code I've modified and got running fine. I uploaded the code to github and cloned it to another ubuntu machine, and it won't compole on the second machine. The configure script won't even run, it just prints out this: syntax error near unexpected token `config.h' | 21:32 |
| bekks | linusoleander: Because a "pid file" may contain everything - it doesnt have to contain a PID. And a process is not forced to actually create a PID file at all. Thats why it is nonsense. | 21:32 |
| simplew | i have installed kubuntu, so when runing firefox and clicking to open or save file, in the dialog that apepars does apepars the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos directories, what package i need to isntall to have those dirs appearing in the "Save As" firefox dialog? | 21:32 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: so yeah, I recommend the alternate CD, as it tends to have far fewer issues: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 21:33 |
| nydel | hmm, mail-notifier is crashing right after i run it. could anyone help me troubleshoot? | 21:33 |
| BluPhenix316 | Samus_Aran: thank you! | 21:33 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: I'm not familiar with secure boot | 21:33 |
| linusoleander | bekks: Yes, i know that is why I'm asking if there is a wrapper application which can store the pid in a file so I can access it later | 21:33 |
| dj_corncob | I want to play around with writing client-server sockets. What should I use in ubuntu to simulate a server on my machine? | 21:33 |
| skypce | i have a question | 21:34 |
| linusoleander | I need to know the pid for a specific process to be able to track it | 21:34 |
| linusoleander | I don't understand why that's strange | 21:34 |
| skypce | the "--" option is need in kernel boot options? | 21:34 |
| BluPhenix316 | i can't wait for Steam on Linux, if Valve can convince bethesda to make native linux versions of their games through steam, i won't ever need windows again | 21:34 |
| jrib | linusoleander: so record the pid when you start it, no? | 21:34 |
| linusoleander | jrib: How? | 21:35 |
| jrib | linusoleander: how are you starting it? | 21:35 |
| jrib | linusoleander: and what is "it"? | 21:35 |
| Samus_Aran | BluPhenix316: it seems they don't have an alternate install CD for 12.10, but they do for 12.04 | 21:35 |
| linusoleander | jrib: Just by calling it. "/usr/bin/mybinary" | 21:36 |
| BluPhenix316 | Samus_Aran: they have the net install mini iso, that should do it, i have a decent wired connection | 21:36 |
| linusoleander | jrib: It's a bunch of different background processes | 21:36 |
| jrib | linusoleander: that information is available as some bash variable. See its documentation. Better yet, ask #bash as they might suggest to you a better way to do what you want | 21:37 |
| BluPhenix316 | ok lets give this a shot, if it works i'll be back and let ya know if your curious | 21:37 |
| === TheGuest is now known as DogStarChamp | ||
| Samus_Aran | dj_corncob: you can do that lots of different ways. what's the issue with just running the server and client programs on the same machine? if you need virtual machines, you can use VirtualBox, QEMU, or there's one that lets you run another Linux kernel/system directly. | 21:37 |
| nydel | has anyone got m-audio drivers for ubuntu/linux? specifically for a firewire device? | 21:38 |
| linusoleander | jrib: Yes, I know that. but I need to know the exact possision of the pid file before starting it | 21:38 |
| jrib | linusoleander: what? Why is there suddenly a "pid file" involved? | 21:38 |
| === Oblivious is now known as obli-AWAY | ||
| linusoleander | jrib: I need the pid file. Have you ever used monit, god or bluepill? | 21:39 |
| chitra | trism: is there a differenct in sudo apt-get update and update from update manager? | 21:39 |
| jrib | linusoleander: no. | 21:39 |
| Samus_Aran | nydel: if it is not supported by ALSA, give OSS v4 a try, it has a lot of excellent sound drivers | 21:39 |
| linusoleander | jrib: Anyhow, I need to write a pid file for any background process I start | 21:40 |
| trism | chitra: no | 21:40 |
| jrib | linusoleander: I think you should state what your actual goal is. | 21:40 |
| nydel | Samus_Aran: do you have the appropriate URL to check about ALSA support? & for OSS v4? i'm not familiar with OSS v4 at all. | 21:40 |
| trism | chitra: well, checking for updates no, but again, apt-get update; doesn't actually install packages | 21:40 |
| linusoleander | I've a background process that's being tracked by monit. Monit needs the pid file to be able to track it | 21:40 |
| chitra | trism: what it actually does? | 21:41 |
| Samus_Aran | nydel: #OSS channel here on FreeNode. their web site is in the URL. there's also a wiki page that tells you how to set up apps to use OSS instead of ALSA. | 21:41 |
| trism | chitra: downloads information about available packages | 21:41 |
| jrib | linusoleander: so if a program creates a pid file, give monit the pid file. If a program does not create a pid file, create it. | 21:41 |
| Samus_Aran | nydel: my browser is lagging, or I'd grab you the URLs | 21:41 |
| jrib | linusoleander: although I imagine if you ask monit support there may be a "better way" | 21:41 |
| nydel | Samus_Aran: have you ever heard of a box that takes an hdmi in, & has a bunch of outs? for example, right now i use my laptop & an HDMI out to HDMI1, my television. then i use RCA outs to my firewire M-Audio which is running on a windows desktop over there. & outs from the m-audio go to dual monitor speakers as well as another set of speakers. | 21:42 |
| Samus_Aran | nydel: years ago OSS (Open Sound System) was the only Linux sound system. then OSS switched to v3 and became closed-source, so ALSA was invented to fill in the gap. OSS with v4 went back to open source. | 21:42 |
| nydel | Samus_Aran: but i would be interested in a box that just takes the HDMI & has a bunch of outs | 21:42 |
| Samus_Aran | nydel: that sounds like a lot of passing through. wouldn't that create delays in the sound? | 21:43 |
| chitra | trism: just info about available packages? | 21:43 |
| jrib | linusoleander: here read this: http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/FAQ#pidfile | 21:43 |
| trism | chitra: yes | 21:43 |
| chitra | it takes so many MBs and time? | 21:43 |
| trism | chitra: there are many many packages | 21:43 |
| simplew | something is very wrong, if i restart network-manager service i get DOUBLED wifi network entries from network-manager icon | 21:43 |
| booh- | Fresh install. I try to access in IMAP, plain text passwd, outside my LAN without success... | 21:43 |
| nydel | Samus_Aran: no delay, unless i'm experiencing a very pleasing chorus effect, but it couldn't be more than 10ms i doubt, else i'd be able to tell | 21:44 |
| chitra | trism: may be :/ | 21:44 |
| linusoleander | jrib: I was a bit fast there, I'm not using monit atm, I'm using bluepill. Thanks anyway | 21:44 |
| chitra | trism: synaptic pakage manager does the same thing? | 21:44 |
| linusoleander | jrib: But I get the point | 21:44 |
| trism | chitra: if you click Reload yes | 21:44 |
| linusoleander | I was hoping that linux had something build in | 21:44 |

| Samus_Aran | ubuntu-fan001: hello | 21:50 |

| eyastaifour | i have windows, and there's an ISO there - ubuntu ISO. and i have a 40 GB unallocated space on the HDD | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | guess you could try virtualbox and get lucky.. but that is most likely not a good idea to try to do a real install to a real hd from within vbox. | 22:12 |

| Jordan_U | persona24: sudo blkid | 22:13 |
| mcoffee | dr_willis: this is what I get "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused" | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | persona24: mount would show the other drives and mountpoints if they are mounted. | 22:13 |
| eyastaifour | no virtualization for me. i need it running on the box directly | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | mcoffee: you did install the ssh service?> | 22:13 |
| dr_willis | eyastaifour: i was hinting at using vbox to do a 'real' install to the hd. you would then boot... | 22:14 |
| mcoffee | No. I guess I'll give that a try. | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | mcoffee: ssh service is not installed by default. ;) | 22:14 |
| Jordan_U | persona24: That lists partitions with filesystems, which is generally more usefull than listing drives. | 22:14 |

| vbe | xangua: not anymore, only as option | 22:24 |
| blackshirt | eyastaifour, what are you trying to mount ? | 22:24 |
| eyastaifour | my partition C: (win7), formatted as NTFS | 22:25 |
| eyastaifour | i booted from what wbui.exe installed. | 22:25 |
| xangua | linkandzelda: vbe ubnity is just a shell for gnome | 22:25 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: OK, that means that booting failed for some reason. Did you do a normal Wubi installation following the instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows ? (note that nowhere in those instructions does it say to make a virtual CD in Windows, and you should *not* have done so). | 22:25 |
| eyastaifour | it installed a new entry in my BCD, which takes me to GRUB, which won't load completely (because my CD doesnt work) | 22:25 |
| eyastaifour | my CD does not function people :) | 22:25 |
| vbe | xangua: huh? | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Re-read my comment, I never said that you should be using a CD. | 22:26 |
| blackshirt | i thin wubi was not a great solutions if you want explore your linux, they resides on your windows, depends on windows ... | 22:27 |
| blackshirt | think | 22:27 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: sorry, I used wbui.exe that comes at the root of the ISO that I've downloaded and mounted, not the one you shared | 22:27 |
| vbe | xangua: to my understanding both are windowmanagers/desktop environments/whatever you call it. not one based on the other | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | blackshirt: In this case we're just using Wubi as a stepping stone to a real install. | 22:27 |
| blackshirt | jordan_u, i'm agree with you | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Boot into Windows, remove Wubi, and follow the directions at the link I gave you. Do *not* at any point make a virtual CD. | 22:28 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: but my windows machine doesn't have network drivers... it won't be able to download files | 22:28 |
| eyastaifour | can i add those files manually, from the ISO that I have downloaded | 22:29 |
| mcoffee | How would I ssh to a computer that is located remotely? Say the remote IP was 27.99.9.9, and the internal IP of the computer was 192.168.1.12, how would I ssh to it? | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Download the wubi.exe from another machine and put it on a USB drive. | 22:29 |
| eyastaifour | (to clarify: i downloaded it from my mac, and i transfered it to the windows machine, using a USB disk) | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Make sure that you have the wubi.exe and the Ubuntu iso in the same directory when you open wubi.exe, otherwise wubi will try to download the iso itself. | 22:30 |

| eyastaifour | oh, this is awesome... i re-ran wubi.exe, and it asked me to uninstall :) | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Like I said you should remove your current broken Wubi installation first. | 22:35 |
| eyastaifour | yes, i wasn't aware it was as simple as a double-click again :) | 22:35 |
| BluPhenix316 | well finally managed to get ubuntu 12.10 installed, but my resolution is stuck at 1024x768 with the nvidia drivers | 22:37 |
| eyastaifour | as soon as I run wubi.exe, it claims there's not enough free space. i do have 40GB of unallocated space which I intend to use for ubuntu | 22:37 |
| eyastaifour | should I format this as NTFS, and start wubi.exe again ? | 22:37 |
| BluPhenix316 | anyone have any luck with nvidia cards and 12.10? | 22:37 |
| eyastaifour | or preferably FAT ? | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: No. | 22:38 |
| BluPhenix316 | oh and i have a nvidia 660 gtx, its not optimus | 22:38 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: should I free up space from partition C: then? or click on "continue anyway" (in wubi.exe) ? | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: You need enough free space in C: to hold wubi's root.disk, but since this will be temporary you can tell wubi to create as small of a root.disk as it will allow. | 22:40 |

| mcoffee | Hmm... My question went unnanswered for a while. Here's what I asked: How would I ssh to a computer that is located remotely? Say the remote IP was 27.99.9.9, and the internal IP of the computer was 192.168.1.12, how would I ssh to it? | 22:42 |
| Jordan_U | mcoffee: ssh username@27.99.9.9 | 22:42 |
| blackshirt | mcoffee, just remote it, if | 22:43 |
| bekks | mcoffee: Then you have to create a router portforwarding entry on the router the remote computer is connected to. | 22:43 |
| BluPhenix316 | hey anyone know how to get a higher resolution than 1024x768 with nvida drivers in ubuntu 12.10? | 22:43 |
| almondiga | does anyone know how to route between 2 networks using ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| guntbert | mcoffee: your question is not clear - did you mean that your remote host is behind a router (with the external address 27.99.9.9) ? | 22:44 |
| mcoffee | Yes. | 22:44 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: awesome. so far, i m disabling hibernation, and turning the page file size down. i ll ping again once i have the free disk space | 22:44 |
| mcoffee | guntbert: yes | 22:44 |
| mcoffee | Or at least I think. | 22:45 |
| guntbert | mcoffee: in that case follow what bekks said - you need to tell the router to forward traffic to the server | 22:45 |
| mcoffee | K. | 22:45 |
| almondiga | alguien me puede ayudar a enrutar entre 2 redes desde ubuntu? | 22:45 |

| mcoffee | bekks: I port-forwarded. | 22:45 |
| linkandzelda | how do i enable entering password on login? | 22:46 |
| mcoffee | I'm still a noob at this, but I did a port forward. | 22:46 |
| mcoffee | As I would guess simply doing `ssh username@27.99.9.9` doesn't cut it. | 22:47 |
| mcoffee | I'm guessing that I would also have to add extra arguments to the command. | 22:47 |
| mcoffee | Not just the username@address argument. | 22:47 |
| guntbert | mcoffee: that should suffice if the port forwarding was done correctly | 22:47 |
| Lunar_Lander | hello | 22:48 |
| Lunar_Lander | what does the service "sh" do? | 22:48 |

| frxstrem | I have a small problem: I often get a "Bus error" when I do things such as edit text files or try to open certain programs (such as Pidgin) - what would be the most likely cause to this? | 22:48 |
| bekks | Lunar_Lander: "sh" is a shell, not a service. | 22:49 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: it wubi.exe now runs without any warning. but when it asks me about the installation drive, i have 1 option only (obviously), which is C: | 22:49 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes, and that's what you want to use. | 22:49 |
| eyastaifour | with 7 GB of free space.. its not where I want ubuntu to be ultimately installed (i want to use the 40 GB unallocated space) | 22:50 |
| eyastaifour | so - this is interim ? | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. We will use the Wubi installation to configure grub to boot from the iso, and then do a real install from there. | 22:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | because xterm says it had been connected to one of the canonical servers | 22:50 |
| dr_willis | Lunar_Lander: that dosent make a lot of sence. ;) | 22:51 |
| dr_willis | sense either. ;) or cents.. | 22:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | hm yea | 22:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | well I am running this balloon tracking software dl-fldigi at the moment from the terminal which uploads data to the server of spacenear.us | 22:52 |
| Lunar_Lander | and that "sh" line is there as a CLOSE_WAIT | 22:52 |
| dr_willis | sh is the default system shell. so some script may have spawned a sh process to handle some task. | 22:53 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah ok | 22:53 |
| Lunar_Lander | I'll ask the developers if they know it | 22:53 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks! | 22:53 |

| eyastaifour | i have an ubuntu desktop :) | 22:53 |
| eyastaifour | this is sorcery :) | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Great. How familiar are you with the terminal? | 22:54 |
| eyastaifour | a little bit familiar, i can manage around | 22:54 |
| URConsultant | tell me guys | 22:54 |
| eyastaifour | something is saying "copying files"... and i really want to make sure i dont install my stuff on the windows partition | 22:54 |
| URConsultant | synaptic and apt-get in terminal, it's the same, but if I use both i find some errors in my OS by time | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | eyastaifour: wubi uses a file obn the winedows drive as a virtual hard disk.. | 22:55 |
| eyastaifour | dr_willis: offtopic question: it is using this virtual hard disk file just for encapsulating its stuff.. its not an automagical type I hypervisor, right ? | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: OK. Please find the exact path to the Ubuntu iso (or move it to a simple path, such as the root of your Windows partition) and then tell me the path. You can access your Windows partition via /host/ . | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | eyastaifour: wubi boots into linux same as a hd install would. only uses that disk file instead of a real disk. | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Correct, no virtualization is going on. | 22:57 |
| eyastaifour | its on c: | 22:57 |
| eyastaifour | sorry, its on c:\ub | 22:57 |
| eyastaifour | but i dont have a terminal open.. just a window with the title "install", some pretty graphics, and a progress bar for "copying files" | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: We need the exact path including filename so that we can configure grub to use it. | 22:57 |
| eyastaifour | ok, the ISO's path is: C:\newub\ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 22:58 |

| dr_willis | seems to be in the generic kernel package. | 23:21 |
| michealPW | Hrmm! | 23:21 |
| L3mce | rephy222: network-manager-gnome I would expect... but that sounds more like a driver/device issue. | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | /lib/modules/3.5.0-10-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko | 23:22 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: do i go about booting from the ISO now? | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | seems its in all my kernels here. | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: I think that will be enough, but I'm not sure. To install Ubuntu from the same drive that you'er booted from the way we are requires first copying the entire iso into RAM, meaning that you'll effectively have 700 MiB less RAM available than you normally would. | 23:22 |
| michealPW | So can I just do "insmod xpad.ko", dr_willis? | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | michealPW: try it and see. ;) id think so | 23:22 |
| michealPW | Hrmm! Thx mate, will try now :) | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | michealPW: try a locate xpad.ko | 23:22 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: I see.. let's give it a shot! so, is it menuentries, or unetbootin now ? | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. Just for reference, normal iso loop booting can be done easily by following http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F but we're going to need to change the kernel parameters so we'll need to do something slightly more. | 23:24 |

| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: It's expected that tab completion won't work, and that has to do with mount and bash_completion rather than sudo. If you entered in the exact command I gave you and recieved an error message then you probably gave me the wrong path. It's important that you get paths right, one character off is still wrong. | 23:30 |

| wilee-nilee | The_Matrix, Generally adding the restricted-extras and libdvdread4 should do it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing_libdvdcss | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: You do not want or need to be logged in as root. "exit" to get out of the root shell and use sudo for individual commands that need root privileges. | 23:31 |
| The_Matrix | Thanks alot wilee-nilee :D | 23:32 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: that's for best practices indeed.. but for the sake of practicality, would it work ? im exiting as we speak | 23:32 |
| goblinou | ubottu: gee, i installed that software but i don't see any additional appearance settings | 23:32 |
| ubottu | goblinou: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:32 |
| ofcan | what might be the reason if I can't 'cd' into a directory? I am in sudo group btw... | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: It would work, but it doesn't help you in any way and as you said is bad practice. | 23:32 |
| michealPW | Sweet! | 23:33 |
| goblinou | oh, anyone else was helping me? | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: a 'directory' has to be executable for one to 'cd' into it.. i belive. | 23:33 |
| goblinou | how do i adjust visual effects in ubuntu 12.1? | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | goblinou: after installing the ccsm package you run the ccsm tool... and be carefull with it. | 23:33 |
| goblinou | please. | 23:33 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: the ISO is now mounted | 23:33 |
| goblinou | ccsm package, right, thanks | 23:34 |
| michealPW | "[21818.503721] input: Microsoft X-Box pad v2 (US) as /devices/..." yay! :) | 23:34 |
| michealPW | thx, dr_willis :) | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | the packagte name was given earlier.. its not 'ccsm; | 23:34 |
| goblinou | hahaha what do you mean be careful? | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | the binary IS called ccsm | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | !find ccsm | 23:34 |
| ubottu | File ccsm found in app-install-data, community-themes, compizconfig-settings-manager, elementary-icon-theme, gnome-colors-common, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux, humanity-icon-theme, language-pack-gnome-ar, language-pack-gnome-ar-base, language-pack-gnome-as (and 83 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ccsm&mode=&suite=quantal&arch=any | 23:34 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: OK. "cp /mnt/boot/grub/loopback.cfg ~/Desktop/" That should copy the iso's loopback.cfg to your Desktop. | 23:34 |
| ofcan | dr_willis: but I can navigate manually into it, just can't via .sh file... than I have somehow wrote the .sh wrong, right? | 23:35 |
| dupondje | I added set tabstop=4 to my .vimrc, but still tab doesn't give me 4 space chars :( | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: perhaps.. or spaces in the dir name.. | 23:35 |
| dupondje | any idea's what i'm missing? | 23:35 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: yes, copied | 23:35 |
| trism | dupondje: :set expandtab | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | goblinou: there are some other 'tweaking' tools out to do some unity and compiz setting tweaks that are safer. | 23:36 |
| ofcan | dr_willis: this is my code & error; any syntax code or like that you see? > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13204158/unicorn-init-sh-cannot-find-app-root-on-capistrano-cold-deploy/13204193#13204193 | 23:36 |
| ewook | Yo. How do one tweak the default icons in the unity bar for a 'new' user? | 23:36 |
| goblinou | right, i see. where is the setting for the screen saver and turning monitor off? and avoiding having to enter the password when i shake it off. | 23:36 |
| === flowerhack is now known as flowerhack_ | ||
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: OK, now we need to edit the file a little. To do that we need to be sure about the exact path to the iso, so please run "ls -l /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" and post the output. | 23:36 |
| dupondje | trism: set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set expandtab set noeol set binary | 23:36 |
| dupondje | have this now, but still :( | 23:37 |
| trism | dupondje: so put it in ~/.vimrc | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | goblinou, If you mess with the compizconfig manager install the fusion icon and have a launcher for it on the desktop, ask if needed to do this. This will restart compiz when you adjust it, you will want it. | 23:37 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: im on another machine :) i confirm it is there. I have used tab completion. | 23:37 |
| goblinou | ok, great. another question, if i may... | 23:38 |
| goblinou | right, i see. where is the setting for the screen saver and turning monitor off? and avoiding having to enter the password when i shake it off. | 23:38 |
| dupondje | trism: yep its there :) | 23:38 |
| DarkAceZ | just out of curiosity, is there a command to restart processes? | 23:38 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 729067520 Nov 2 18:29 /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 23:38 |
| goblinou | dr_willis or wilee-nilee? | 23:38 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: only thing i can guess at is the quoteing of the command is keeping $home from getting expanded.. perhaps... | 23:39 |
| ewook | DarkAceZ: yes. service [theservice] restart | 23:39 |
| DarkAceZ | service? | 23:39 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: seen that happen in other cases. :) | 23:39 |
| ewook | DarkAceZ: you need to append sudo first of course. | 23:39 |
| [snake] | ewook processes not services | 23:39 |
| DarkAceZ | ^ | 23:40 |
| DarkAceZ | what I was thinking loo | 23:40 |
| DarkAceZ | l | 23:40 |
| ewook | [snake]: doh. | 23:40 |
| ewook | DarkAceZ: sorry :p | 23:40 |
| DarkAceZ | lol | 23:40 |
| ewook | DarkAceZ: that depends on the process what HUP-call it handles. | 23:40 |
| dr_willis | goblinou: system settings has a brightness and lock app.... | 23:40 |
| ofcan | dr_willis: so just remove "" and that's it? :) | 23:40 |
| DarkAceZ | nautilus | 23:40 |
| ofcan | dr_willis: and say > run "$CMD" ? | 23:40 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: test it with using your /home/yourusername/ perhaps ? | 23:41 |
| dupondje | trism: its something strange really :( | 23:41 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: i alwyas get nesting messed up. :) or else the thing may be calling sh when you mean to call bash.. so the variable is not set.. (seen that happen also) | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: OK, add this to the top of the file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327857/ | 23:41 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: have it echo the exact command and parts of the command perhaps? as a debugging trick. | 23:42 |
| goblinou | oh, dr_willis, silly i didn see that, i've been in the Windows cave for to long. anyway, thanks, and quoting a phrase from Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage: Gee, now I can go home! thanks, bye, best wishes.. | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Actually, that might conflict with wubi, lets name the loop device something else. | 23:42 |
| eyastaifour | so, change the last line to root=(looploop) | 23:43 |
| eyastaifour | ? | 23:43 |
| trism | dupondje: might depend on the file you are editing, I have that all set up but I still get tabs when editing say, Makefiles. otherwise I have no idea | 23:43 |
| Gaming4JC | To answer my own question... http://gabenell.blogspot.com/2010/06/setting-up-collectd-collection3-on.html <-- monitors voltages with pretty Graphs. | 23:43 |
| Gaming4JC | Thanks ^_^ | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Add this instead: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327860/ | 23:43 |
| eyastaifour | to which loopback.cfg ? the one i copied to the desktop ? | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. | 23:44 |
| linkandzelda | anyone know why my apple magic mouse is no longer connecting to my ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| linkandzelda | its very annoying, how crap apple products are | 23:44 |
| dr_willis | linkandzelda: perhaps they want to sell you a $30 adaptor to use it.... | 23:44 |
| [snake] | Lol | 23:44 |
| linkandzelda | that would be great, but this mouse has no adapter possible lol | 23:44 |
| linkandzelda | it was working | 23:44 |
| linkandzelda | then i rebooted | 23:44 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: you want me to addd these before any "menuentry" ? at the top of the file directly ? | 23:45 |
| linkandzelda | not it refuses to connect | 23:45 |
| ofcan | dr_willis: ok, will try to figure out... but definetly some syntax thing, you think, right? :) | 23:45 |
| FloodBot1 | linkandzelda: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:45 |
| [snake] | Maybe the battery died :O | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Correct. | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | ofcan: always seems to be somting trivial when its hard to find.. ;) | 23:45 |
| linkandzelda | it flashes, just refuses to be connectable | 23:45 |
| rephy222 | L3mce: dont think its a driver issue cause its been working fine until i tried installing a dnsproxy | 23:46 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: and in the Iso_path, there's no mentioning of /host/newub, just /newub directly | 23:46 |
| [snake] | linkandzelda perhaps you changed some bios options. If not then apple did it wrong maybe | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Correct. /host/ is the mountpoint, the path on the actual filesystem starts with /newub/. | 23:47 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: ok, cool. i have entered the text | 23:48 |
| minwinpc | Hello | 23:48 |
| rodrigograca31 | so, how i was saying i am trying to compile c++ | 23:48 |
| rodrigograca31 | here is my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327874/ | 23:48 |
| Troy^ | rodrigograca31: you best bet would be a c++ channel | 23:49 |
| [snake] | Ditto | 23:49 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Now we need to add the "toram" kernel parameter to the menu entries. We're going to be using the "Try Ubuntu without installing" entry, but lets modify both it and the "Install Ubuntu" entries (but not the "Check disc for defects" or "Test memory" options). | 23:49 |
| frxstrem | rodrigograca31: Don't use gcc to compile, because that won't work for C++ programs (it's C only). Use g++ instead, which is the C++ version of GCC. | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: To add the "toram" kernel parameter, simply add the word "toram" between "splash" and "--" near the end of the line starting with "linux". | 23:50 |
| [snake] | Oh lol i didnt even notice becsuse I write C so it looked normal | 23:51 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: for both menu entries (try and install) | 23:51 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. | 23:51 |
| eyastaifour | should I leave a space bewteeen "toram" and the "--" | 23:51 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. | 23:51 |
| eyastaifour | ok, done | 23:52 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: When you're done with that, please pastebin the new contents of the file and I'll confirm that it all looks correct. | 23:52 |
| rodrigograca31 | Troy^: ok :) | 23:52 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327885/ | 23:53 |
| rodrigograca31 | frxstrem: humm i did not knowed that | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: You followed my directions correctly, but to I realized that "search --set --file $iso_path" should actually be "search --set=root --file $iso_path" so please change that and we're done modifying the file. | 23:57 |
| melkor | Cheese will not record video. Any suggestions? | 23:57 |
| rodrigograca31 | frxstrem: Thanks! | 23:58 |
| frxstrem | rodrigograca31: no problem :) | 23:59 |
| rodrigograca31 | frxstrem: g++ worked :) | 23:59 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: alright :) all set http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327892/ | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Great, now save the file and run "sudo cp ~/Desktop/loopback.cfg /boot/grub/custom.cfg". | 23:59 |
