| eyastaifour | i'll copy/paste it in a new file, then do the copying | 00:00 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: great, file copied | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Now reboot and you should see the new entries in the grub menu, select the "Try Ubuntu without installing" option and come back here (there is one more step before you can actually run the installer). | 00:03 |

| someuser | I've tried to install MATLAB on a mounted harddrive (not same as OS). Now I get "unable to execute /usr/local/bin/matlab: Permission denied" even if try to start it with sudo? Any ideas. | 00:07 |
| vbe | maybe it's mounted noexec | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | someuser: First, running commands with sudo unless you know that it needs, and was designed to be safe to run with, root permissions is a bad idea. You shouldn't just run things as root whenever you get a permissions denied error. | 00:09 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: the machine booted, but i only see a mouse cursor on a black background. i dont see disk activity (the LED) flashing either,, could it be X failing me again? or should i give it few more minutes ? | 00:10 |
| someuser | Jordan_U: I know. Just trying to emphizes it's wierd. | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | someuser: Please pastebin the output of "mount". | 00:10 |

| Jordan_U | someuser: If you know, then why did you try to run matlab as root? | 00:11 |
| gordonjcp | someuser: you almost certainly have it mounted noexec | 00:11 |

| someuser | I see.... hehe | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | someuser: Bingo :). Add an fstab entry for that partition, or if you already have an fstab entry remove the "noexec" option. | 00:12 |
| someuser | Damnit that was stupid of me thanks | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: It probably is X failing again. How did you get around that the first time? | 00:14 |

| lfactor | hi guys, i've just installed windows 8 onto a system that was previously running only ubuntu, i've booted into ubuntu and everything works fine, however windows won't boot | 00:15 |

| lfactor | can i easily convert my boot to be mbr style instead of eufi ? Is that the issue? | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Unfortunately I don't think that the LiveCD has a similar recovery mode option, though we do have some options none the less. Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1? | 00:17 |

| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Does the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe exist? | 00:20 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: no | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: And can you connect to the internet from within Ubuntu? (was it a Windows specific networking problem or more general?) | 00:22 |
| eyastaifour | it was windows specific, since i was able to use pastebin few moments ago (that made me very ahppy :)) | 00:23 |
| unrar | ohai | 00:24 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: i'm really thankful for your assistance in the past hour or so.. | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: "wget http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/xorg.conf.failsafe" then "sudo cp xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf". | 00:25 |

| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes, whatever is the easiest way for you to get the file. | 00:27 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: /isodevice now is what was /host few moments ago, right ? | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes. | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Another option would be to mount your Wubi root.disk and copy the Xorg.conf from there, no reboot required. | 00:30 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: let's try your last suggestion. FailSafeX is not working anymore. it claims it couldn't create a lock on a file that doesnt exist, and that gdm is not run.... | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: lightdm is what Ubuntu currently uses by default, not GDM. | 00:32 |
| subman | anyone here use deluge? I can't seem to be able to figure out how to even get it started! I'm installing the webui version and I don't know to 'connect' | 00:32 |
| eyastaifour | so, i m restarting - selecting grub's "try before installing". and now I need to mount my wubi root.disk - how do i mount it ? | 00:33 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: i found something in /isodevice/ubundu/disks/root.disk | 00:34 |
| con-man | anyone else having issue swith certain youtube videos not playing but others do? Specifically in chrome? In firefox the colours are all inverted | 00:34 |
| con-man | if I don't listen to "Apples" by Delhi2Dublin soon I'm gonna freak out | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: That's the file. So just "sudo mount -o loop /isodevice/ubundu/disks/root.disk /mnt/" and then "sudo cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf". | 00:36 |
| Archio | Hi, I accidentally closed a terminal window running apt-get install before it was finished, and now any apt operations result in "unmet dependencies", and it looks like the main package that is causing the issue is libc6. | 00:37 |
| Archio | Is there any way I can "reset" apt-get? | 00:37 |
| melkor | Archio yes, what happens when you run apt-get install -f | 00:38 |
| Smackbook | do bad blocks mean lost data? | 00:38 |
| cornernote | im not awesome at ubuntu, but seeing as nobody has answerd yet... try apt-get clean ? | 00:38 |
| melkor | Smackbook: not nescessarily. | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | Archio: This doesn't 'reset' apt-get, but try "sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install". | 00:38 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: great, how can i get back to X after copying the file ? | 00:38 |
| cornernote | ok, well someone answered as i did =) ... i'll stand back =) | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | cornernote: Archio: "apt-get clean" will *not* help. | 00:38 |
| melkor | Smackbook: they often can indicate a failing hard drive which will result in lost of data. | 00:38 |
| Archio | @melkor Tried that, I get some "locked by another process" errors ending in "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" | 00:38 |
| cornernote | ok, thanks Jordan_U for clarifying | 00:39 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: i did a PS aux | grep X | 00:39 |
| eyastaifour | found it, killed it, and now i have a GYIUI | 00:39 |
| Archio | And @Jordan_U Using "sudo dpkg --configure -a" results in errors ending in "Errors were encountered while processing: man-db libc6-dev" | 00:39 |
| melkor | Archio: there is a lock file, but are there any apt-get processes running? | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Great. Now we need to unmount your Windows paritition so that we can install Ubuntu. "sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo umount /isodevice/". | 00:40 |
| Archio | @melkor I don't think so, since I closed the terminal window. I just verified there aren't by "ps aux | grep apt-get" | 00:41 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: but whenever i enter my password in the GUI, the screen goes black for a second, a small sound plays, and i'm offered with the logon screen again | 00:42 |
| melkor | Archio: usually "sudo apt-get install -f" works for me though it has been awhile. | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: And if "sudo umount /isodevice/" says that the device is busy, please post the output of "sudo losetup -a". | 00:42 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: at first, it wouldnt logong using any of my credentials. so i went back to terminal and created a user, and assigned a password to it | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: That was the wrong thing to do, you need to use the liveCD user to install Ubuntu. | 00:42 |
| sireangelus2_ | hello | 00:43 |

| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: sorry, it was based on assumptions. i'm restarting again into "try ubuntu" menu | 00:44 |

| Smackbook | psusi: http://pastebin.com/zqX2AqWR | 00:51 |
| psusi | PatrickC|Studyin, you can run 32bit programs on a 64bit system, but if you are compiling from source, it should compile to whichever you are running | 00:51 |
| Smackbook | psusi: i dont know what of that output is results vs settings | 00:51 |
| PatrickC|Studyin | psusi: the stuff i have to compile won't compile on 64 yet | 00:51 |

| subman | Smackbook, Tried deluge, couldn't figure it out. | 00:52 |
| con-man | sireangelus2_, any ideas | 00:52 |
| Smackbook | subman: really? your other options are transmission and rtorrent. | 00:52 |
| con-man | sireangelus2_, got the inverted colours issue resolved by Jordan_U's suggestion. So firefox works now. But chrome still isn't loading some videos | 00:52 |
| sireangelus2_ | what is nvidia x275? | 00:53 |
| subman | Smackbook, yup, got it installed but then this connection window came up. Never knew what it wanted. | 00:53 |
| con-man | sireangelus2_, my video cards | 00:53 |
| PatrickC|Studyin | so does anyone have a suggestion? | 00:53 |
| psusi | Smackbook, looks like your drive has some pretty bad firmware and isn't reporting most of the usual smart attributes... certainly does have a bunch of uncorrectable errors logged though so yea, looks like it is hosed... may just be some kind of transient corruption though that a full reformat may fix | 00:54 |
| psusi | PatrickC|Studyin, what kind of stuff is it? any program worth a salt should compile on 64 bit | 00:54 |
| subman | Smackbook, the default was local host but what was it looking for? | 00:55 |
| leftyfb | blackshirt: thanks for giving me a link explaining what samba is. Unfortunately, thats not my issue and not a solution to the problem. | 00:55 |

| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: i cant get into GUI. can we proceed in text mode ? | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | Smackbook: If all the data is on a separate array, then why not just trash the drive and re-install? | 00:59 |
| subman | Smackbook, I've had some success with rtorrent but never tried transmission | 01:00 |

| LeanMan | blackshirt: I didn't do anything special, I just created a usb bootable, the first time ubuntu started up just fine. But after the 2nd time, ubuntu requests a login | 01:05 |
| Smackbook | Jordan_U: i have used ddrescue before i might try that, but thats why i was asking if my data was actually corrupted | 01:05 |
| leftyfb | blackshirt: as far as this troubleshooting is concerned, yes | 01:05 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: those are the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:05 |
| blackshirt | leanman, what are you trying to setup? | 01:05 |
| LeanMan | I just want to use the image burner software that comes prepacked in ubuntu | 01:06 |
| blackshirt | leanman, user ubuntu with blank password? | 01:06 |
| LeanMan | that doesn't work for some reason | 01:06 |
| dataholic | akasha: were is ungga? | 01:06 |
| LeanMan | I get a red symbol above the username box | 01:06 |
| Jordan_U | Smackbook: If ddrescue recovers everything, then your data is probably safe (be sure to fsck after recovery). If it doesn' then there is a chance that some files will be corrupt. | 01:06 |
| psusi | Smackbook, you should have backups and a disaster recovery plan | 01:06 |
| AMDAthlon | if i upgrade my cpu from dual core to 8 core cpu will i have to reinstall ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: What happens if you run "sudo service lightdm restart"? | 01:07 |
| psusi | AMDAthlon, no | 01:07 |
| Smackbook | psusi: can you even back up an OS drive? how would you restore that? | 01:07 |
| akasha | dataholic: im still trying to learn ubu | 01:07 |
| blackshirt | leftyb, check the symlinks, is still there? | 01:07 |
| psusi | Smackbook, I prefer dump or tar | 01:07 |
| leftyfb | :/ | 01:07 |
| AMDAthlon | & if i move my harddrive to another computer will ubuntu still boot? | 01:07 |

| Snump | How can I get rid of Unity nd go back to a standard Gnome desktop on 12.10? | 01:07 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: im presented with a screen saying that i m running in low graphics modee. I select OK | 01:07 |
| Smackbook | psusi: ive never tried to back up the /, i mean how would that even work half the folders are virtual (proc...others) | 01:08 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Great. Can you get to the normal Ubuntu desktop from there? | 01:08 |
| blackshirt | leftyb, some error for guide | 01:08 |
| psusi | Smackbook, I use LVM On my servers and have a cron job make a snapshot each night and dump it to a backup drive | 01:08 |
| leftyfb | blackshirt: huh? | 01:08 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U and then, it goes back to text mode, with some text on a black background. appended with [OK] | 01:08 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: it says: starting configure network device [OK] <CRLF> starting configure network device security [OK] | 01:09 |
| Smackbook | psusi: your OS is on LVM partition? | 01:09 |
| blackshirt | leftyb, if it doesn't work, i guess some error throwed to you | 01:09 |
| psusi | Smackbook, you only backup what's actually on the drive, you either explicitly exclude mount points like /sys, /dev, and /proc, or backup utilities have a switch to only backup the one mount point without descending into any others | 01:09 |
| psusi | Smackbook, yes | 01:09 |
| Smackbook | interesting | 01:09 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: the last line reads Stopping enable remaining boot-time encrupted block devices [OK] | 01:09 |

| bkfitz | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on new Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop: I have a mini-display port to HDMI cable going into my 1080 LCD. When I use Fn F7 to switch between 1. laptop only, 2. laptop and TV, and 3. TV only - 2 and 3 do show up on the TV, but the resolution seems to be slightly greater than 1920x1080 so I can't see my top and bottom bar, but only barely. Any idea why my on-board graphics would be doing this? Any workarounds to hard-code | 01:12 |
| bkfitz | the 1920x1080 resolution? Help! | 01:12 |
| Smackbook | psusi: are SSDs considered less reliable? | 01:12 |
| hthompson | genii-around: oh ok. They should do small variants of tux then. I think it would be cool. Like have tux with circle of friends tattoo | 01:12 |
| psusi | Smackbook, not neccesarily, but all drives fail | 01:13 |
| psusi | that's why you have backups | 01:13 |
| michealPW | Don't SSDs have a limited number of read/write cycles? I guess technically even mechanical drives have a limited number, taking into account wear/tear. Meh. | 01:13 |
| michealPW | Backup > * | 01:13 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: apologies for overclogging your bandwidth.. i m wondering - any recommendations ? | 01:13 |
| === will is now known as Guest35215 | ||
| psusi | naw, regular drives don't really take wear and tear from read/write, more from turning on/off | 01:14 |
| leftyfb | useless, as usual | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | michealPW, The basic rhetoric is ssd have as long a life as a disc drive. | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | now at least | 01:14 |
| michealPW | mm, so really it's best to just leave a PC running then? I mean, it seems like power on/off seems to kill everythign the most, esp. monitors.. | 01:14 |
| Smackbook | so should I replace this with another SSD or not a regular drive? | 01:14 |
| psusi | wilee-nilee, depends... if you are doing a LOT of writes, can shorten it considerably | 01:14 |
| michealPW | HEH might aswell leave it all on. Sure cuts down on boot-time (rofl) | 01:14 |
| Ray2 | If no moving parts in ssd why not longer | 01:15 |
| Guest35215 | boa tarde estou tentando controlar o ubuntu 12.04 pelo smartphone instalei o Gmote ele acha o meu IP, mas na hora de funcionar aparece a mensagem problemas de conexão, quando baixei o arquivo veio GmoteServerLinux2.0.0.tar.gz eu estrai a pasta e coloquei este arquivo para executar GmoteServer.sh, mas aparece uma mensagem de erro | 01:15 |

| Guest35215 | Outra coisa que estou tentando fazer funcionar é o bluetooth, esta tudo instalado corretamente "acredito" mas quando coloco o adaptador usb ele até transfere um arquivo, mas logo em seguida trava o notebook e nada mais funciona tenho que desligar direto no botão e depois ligar de novo. | 01:15 |
| FloodBot1 | Guest35215: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:15 |
| psusi | Smackbook, I don't see any reason to have the OS on an SSD in a server, especially one that isn't raided | 01:15 |
| blackshirt | leftyfb, you just tell useless as usual, it makes no sense for solving the problem | 01:15 |
| psusi | Smackbook, I usually use a 4 drive raid5 or raid10 and just put the whole thing on that | 01:15 |
| wilee-nilee | psusi, That is not necessarily true but if I had a ssd I would limit the writes, at least that is what some of the experts have said. | 01:15 |
| michealPW | I was just thinking about buying a used server off eBay. I mean, you can get a rippin' little home server for backups (raid, redundancy for the win!) for like $200 hehe | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | seems like it should be though psusi | 01:16 |
| psusi | wilee-nilee, that's why they say it... the more writes, the faster it wears out... | 01:16 |
| Guest35215 | alguém fala portuques | 01:16 |
| Smackbook | psusi: heh no room for that, i have 8 drives already in my case for my raidpool | 01:16 |
| Smackbook | not counting OS | 01:16 |
| psusi | Smackbook, so put the OS on those | 01:16 |
| michealPW | In a small, cool looking rack-mountable server case you can toss in your closet or something and have all your computers in your house dump backups to it | 01:16 |
| bkfitz | SSD's rock. Period. Let's talk about Ubuntu | 01:16 |
| michealPW | And you wont have to worry :P | 01:16 |
| Smackbook | and from what I had read when setting the server up OS on raid only like very recently became possible and is really tricky | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | psusi, I will agree to disagree, I have looked at this on the web a awhile back, the basic consensus is that a modern ssd can take as many as a disc HD. ;) | 01:17 |

| michealPW | I"ve been thinking of putting my games on an SSD. Would that make any sense? Would it speed up the loading times, at least? | 01:19 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Can you pastebin the output of "startx"? | 01:19 |
| psusi | michealPW, if you got an ssd in a desktop, you want to put the whole OS on it really | 01:19 |
| wilee-nilee | psusi, I change computers about every 2 years and have been lucky to never have a disc fail, but I backup everything anyways. | 01:20 |
| michealPW | I guess it would be a terribly inefficient use of the limited SSD storage capacity, given that some of todays games are exceeding 8gb easily :\ | 01:20 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: would you like me to kill its instances, before running it and exporting its output ? | 01:20 |
| michealPW | psusi: The OS, not the games? I primarily use that machine in particular for gaming, not much of anything else gets done with it. | 01:20 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Yes, but do so via "sudo service lightdm stop" so that it doesn't simply respawn. | 01:20 |

| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: i could re-write it all, but mainly it says : Fatal Server error: no screens found | 01:21 |
| michealPW | psusi: Ah, so preferably it would be best to have a Desktop machine with the entire thing using SSD exclusively for storage then? | 01:21 |
| michealPW | psusi: Ah, makes perfect sense. Interesting! :) | 01:21 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: is this info enough, or would you like me to pastebin it all (machine has no network, i ll have to retype it :) ) | 01:21 |
| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Why does the machine have no network access now when it did before? | 01:22 |
| eyastaifour | it did when we booted from the first time, right after the mini installation, when i was modifying the file to add the new entries | 01:22 |
| eyastaifour | Jordan_U: upon restarting, we selected a new entry (try ubuntu). i never got through the GUI, so i never connected to the wireless network | 01:23 |

| psusi | Sean_, go into your bios and tell it to boot from the other drive | 01:27 |

| Jordan_U | eyastaifour: Does the text in your terminal seem fairly large, or does does the terminal seem to be using the full resolution of the screen? | 01:28 |
| psusi | Sean_, yes... GRUB should present a menu offering which one you want to boot | 01:28 |
| psusi | Sean_, you either need to reinstall and tell it to install grub to the widows drive, or tell your bios to boot from the ubuntu drive... you could use the livecd to just reinstall grub, but it's probably easier to just reinstall the whole thing rather than explain how to do that | 01:29 |

| michealPW | That will shorten what it spits out at you. At the top it should say either "Direct Rendering: Yes" or Direct Rendering: No" | 02:04 |
| SnapSnap | trism, The value for custom-time-format is "%l:%M %p". Do I change it to "%l:%M %p 0%y" ? | 02:04 |
| marcio | it says direct rendering yes | 02:05 |
| trism | SnapSnap: oh yes, sorry I must has edited mine | 02:05 |
| chimney | test | 02:05 |
| chimney | someone reading me? | 02:05 |
| trism | SnapSnap: %Y though, otherwise you only get 2 digits | 02:05 |
| wilee-nilee | chimney, If you see your posts we all see you. | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | michealPW: Just grepping for direct does *not* give you an accurate test any more. llvmpipe (which does software rendering) still produces "direct rendering: Yes". | 02:06 |
| gimpy19 | michealPW: In what magic does 'Direct' match 'direct'? | 02:06 |
| SnapSnap | trusm, the value is now "%l:%M %p 0%Y". Still looks the same | 02:06 |
| trism | SnapSnap: you also have to change time-format to custom | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | michealPW: And with Ubuntu 12.10 llvmpipe is the fallback, so you'll pretty much always get "Yes" for that test. | 02:06 |
| chimney | wilee-nilee: ok thanks | 02:07 |
| chimney | bue | 02:07 |
| marcio | so since it says direct rendering yes is there any way to speed this baby up or will i have to buy ram? | 02:07 |
| chimney | bye | 02:07 |
| raj | how can i check if I have nginx? | 02:07 |
| SnapSnap | trism, Now it displays the time and the date (02012), but I also had it displaying the day of the week, month, and date. The day, month, and date are gone. | 02:07 |
| michealPW | marcio: ok try glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" | 02:07 |
| trism | SnapSnap: you can add all those and more, see: man date; or man strftime | 02:08 |

| chadams | need some quick guidance, just installed ubuntu 12.10 from a USB stick like a CD - last time I tried it with the windows installer, graphics drivers caused it to stop working. I have an ASUS Radeon HD 6670. Has anyone had experience with ubuntu drivers for this card before? | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | marcio: As I just explained to michealPW, the fact that it says Yes actually means nothing (it used to mean something in previous versions of Ubuntu). | 02:09 |
| SnapSnap | trism, thanks for your help | 02:09 |
| wols | chadams: your card should work out of the box. no work or special drivers necessary | 02:10 |
| chadams | wols: for 3d acceleration? braid was painfully slow when I tried it | 02:10 |

| psusi | marcio, why are you worried about swappiness? | 02:18 |
| marcio | i dont know, someone told me that it might speed up my pc | 02:19 |

| marcio | i literally know nothing about ubuntu and want my netbook running a bit faster | 02:19 |
| psusi | marcio, someone was most likely wrong | 02:19 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, There is a app called startup applications, it needs to be loaded to see what runs at startup, you can turn off stuff you don't use like say bluetooth if your'e not using it etc, be careful here, the benefits are small but they are there. sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | dlam: and auth.log if you want to know who tried to authenticate | 02:20 |
| dlam | tomreyn: thx thx | 02:20 |
| wilee-nilee | that command will load the app, marcio | 02:20 |
| deemeetar | Hello, I have been having this problem for quite some time(11.04 till now). I have 12.04 and my wireless doesn't detect only my wireless network. Sometimes when my laptop shutdowns because of empty battery, when i restart it later i can't connect to my wireless. Till now i could resolve this with several disable - enable network repeats but this time i can't connect(nor find it) anyway. I'm connected from my phones tethering and looking for a solution. | 02:20 |
| marcio | thanks wilee, it wont paste into terminal, will i have to type all that manually? | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop | 02:21 |
| psusi | marcio, how much ram do you have? | 02:21 |
| marcio | i have 512mb | 02:21 |
| psusi | outch... | 02:21 |
| psusi | that's one old system | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | time for lubuntu maybe | 02:22 |
| psusi | yea | 02:22 |
| psusi | cell phones have more ram than that these days | 02:22 |
| OpenSorce | Still not as old as mine... which btw I DID get working :-P | 02:22 |
| marcio | whats lubuntu? | 02:22 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, I figured you had a gig, I would run lxde, or lubuntu if it were me. | 02:22 |
| psusi | an ubuntu remix with lower ram and gfx requirements | 02:23 |
| marcio | are those as user friendly as ubuntu 12:10? | 02:23 |
| psusi | it's pretty much a more stripped down desktop that does't use quite as much ram or 3d effects | 02:23 |
| M13 | lubuntu is a lieghtweight ubuntu distro | 02:24 |
| === wheaties is now known as wheaties466 | ||
| wilee-nilee | marcio, here is what it looks like, you can install it and run it or what you have now with a gear dropdown at the login line. | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu | 02:24 |
| M13 | um does anyone know how to keep a progrma running in ubuntu vps | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | marcio: it's different, a bit less user-friendly maybe (but this is a subjective matter, personally i'd prefer it to unity), but things will be much faster | 02:25 |
| M13 | ubuntu server (host1free vps) | 02:25 |
| marcio | okay, so which do you guys reccomend, lubuntu or lxde? | 02:25 |
| marcio | for a complete noob | 02:25 |
| tomreyn | M13: check the "nohup" command or GNU screen | 02:26 |
| marcio | also, i have been studying ubuntu manuals, will what i learn from there also apply to these distros? | 02:26 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, They are pretty much the same I think lubuntu just has a few more apps. | 02:26 |
| psusi | what I would recommend is getting a laptop that isn't 8 years old ;) | 02:27 |
| lfactor | hey guys anyone know how to get windows installed and booting after i have ubuntu installed on an EUFI / GPT machine? | 02:27 |
| wilee-nilee | you can install any apps needed, but you will have all the apps from unity already, I would probably go lxde, but others may difer here. | 02:28 |
| marcio | more apps than ubuntu? thats good right? lol | 02:28 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, ^^^^^ | 02:28 |
| psusi | lfactor, I would imagine by putting in the install cd and installing it | 02:28 |
| lfactor | alas that's not the case :) i end up with grub not being able to find an EFI image for win :) | 02:28 |
| geoffrey | bonjour | 02:29 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, lxde and lubuntu just use some of the same basic apps, but different versions, for example leafpad as a text app rather then gedit. | 02:29 |
| psusi | lfactor, so you installed windows, got it booting, then tried to return control of the system to grub to dual boot and had problems? | 02:29 |
| marcio | do those distros also have the software center? thats pretty much how i got all my current apps | 02:29 |
| DrManhattan | what's a good lightweight ftp server for ubuntu | 02:30 |
| lfactor | psusi: no, windows did not boot at all | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, You would still have the software center it probably is in lxde, if installed in ubuntu, but you have it already it will not be removed. | 02:30 |
| psusi | lfactor, after installing windows, it should replace grub | 02:31 |
| lfactor | psusi: i.e it didn't overwrite the MBR, or write and EFI | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | marcio: Lubuntu doesn't come with Ubuntu Software Center by default because it's such a resouce intensive app, but you can install it yourself (along with any other software that you would install in any other flavor, they all use the same repositories). | 02:31 |
| psusi | lfactor, you have the 64 bit version of windows? | 02:31 |
| marcio | so to install lxde or lubuntu would i have to make a bootable usb like i did for ubuntu and install from scratch? | 02:32 |
| ASHER1 | Hey | 02:32 |

| psusi | ASHER1, -ETOOVAGUE | 02:33 |
| marcio | psusi, how do i do that? | 02:34 |
| ASHER1 | what is this? | 02:34 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, Some of us will have several desktops, I do as I like the gnome-shell more then unity, so I just install the shell on a regular ubuntu install that has unity. There is a website as well that has the complete package lists for the 4 main desktops used with ubuntu, so if you wanted you can remove a extra desktop if you wanted. | 02:34 |
| lfactor | psusi: umm, embarrasingly i'm unsure | 02:34 |
| ASHER1 | psusi | 02:34 |
| ASHER1 | what is this? | 02:34 |
| psusi | lfactor, afaik, MS only supports EFI with the 64 bit windows | 02:34 |
| lfactor | psusi: i downloaded the win8 iso from microsoft, didn't see an option for 32/64 | 02:34 |
| dcvl | is there a good place to to go to begin learning commands for ubuntu/linux? I'm experienced in command line with Cisco devices but brand new to linux. Figured I'd give it a try. Long time windows user | 02:34 |

| ASHER1 | i have g++ | 02:39 |

| psusi | geekmind, figure out why it is mounted read only... you might check dmesg or /var/log/syslog for errors, or the disk utility for the disk SMART status | 02:39 |
| svm_invictvs | Is it possible to do a dry-run of uninstalling a package so you can see what it will affect? | 02:40 |
| geekmind | psusi: I can't do anything because I can't even mount the fs in safe mode | 02:40 |
| psusi | geekmind, you said it was mounted read only | 02:40 |
| geekmind | yes, I guess that | 02:40 |
| geekmind | because I can get to GDM, but I can't login | 02:40 |
| psusi | well, which is it? | 02:40 |
| geekmind | and if I enter in safe mode, I can't mount the fs | 02:41 |
| geekmind | and if I enter to TTY1, I can't login either | 02:41 |
| psusi | if you boot, it's already mounted | 02:41 |
| marcio | psusi, so is what i am currently doing installing a new os from my current os? does that mean my pc will dual boot? | 02:41 |
| psusi | boot into rescue mode, choose root shell, and check dmesg or /var/log/syslog | 02:41 |
| geekmind | psusi: well, what can I do then? | 02:41 |
| geekmind | I tried that already | 02:42 |
| psusi | marcio, if you install windows, it will take over the system... you used to have to reinstall grub to get it back in control and be able to choose to boot Ubuntu, but if you are using UEFI, you should be able to just go into the bios and choose to boot Ubuntu | 02:42 |
| rickbol | deemeetar: what wifi card do you have? | 02:42 |
| geekmind | and I can't read that because the FS is not mounted | 02:42 |
| deemeetar | rickbol: BCM43225 | 02:42 |
| psusi | geekmind, if it wasn't mounted you wouldn't even get a shell | 02:43 |
| ven | What's new in Ubuntu mesh networking? | 02:43 |
| deemeetar | rickbol: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01) | 02:43 |
| geekmind | psusi: I don't know what's going on, but that's what I see when I try to get to the root shell | 02:43 |
| marcio | im confused, so ill still have ubuntu, im just installing another os on the same partition? | 02:43 |
| rickbol | I just git a bcm4322, but I haven't tried it yet. It is replacing a bcm4311 (in a Dell D630) which suffered some of the symptoms you describe under heavy load. | 02:44 |
| devart | could anyone steer me in the right direction here please: the problem i have is not easily replicated and tends to just happen mysteriously. every now and again, doesnt matter the activity i am doing, the ubuntu 11.10 i am running tends to just lock up and hang. no keyboard response and no mouse, no ctrl+alt+del or alt+f# | 02:45 |
| rickbol | I also tried an intel 4965, but it suffered regression bugs as well. | 02:45 |
| devart | i know there are log files i need to look into, but i dont know what im looking for... ^.^ | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, If you are installing like lxde or lubuntu in ubuntu it is just another desktop environment | 02:47 |
| rickbol | deemeetar: the bcm4311 failed under heavy load (I'm currently typing using it now). I have an HP Mini that had a bcm4322, and it seems to work fine, so I thought I'd try one of those in this Dell D630 | 02:47 |
| psusi | geekmind, what is what you see? | 02:47 |
| TheLordOfTime | noone4, please don't be trying to initiate DCC with everyone, that's a bad practice. | 02:47 |
| deemeetar | rickbol: well i don't have problems when connected... only like this.. I download large files with constant speed of 20Mbit/s over night and no problem at all. Just like this... can't find my network .. and this time i can't really fix it. The only solution to me it seems is to boot into windows :( | 02:48 |
| deemeetar | And the sad part is i need internet for studying cause my midterm is tomorrow and i spent 3 hours trying to connect :9 | 02:49 |
| marcio | wilee thanks! so its done installing now, if i restart will it automatically boot to lubuntu? | 02:49 |
| geekmind | psusi: if I try anything from the failsafe mode, I get the following message (similar): "Ubuntu needs to remount the system as R/W. Continue?" and I press "Yes". After a while, I get this error: "Can't mount the filesystem as read/write" | 02:50 |

| graingert | phillijw: do you have an xorg.conf ? | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | phillijw: normally you shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf, i've never heard fof this being neccessary in the past years. | 03:19 |
| graingert | phillijw: and what's your mouse? | 03:19 |
| phillijw | graingert: no, not yet. I was hoping to avoid having to shut everything down to get one though | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | (not to make basic mouse functions work, that is) | 03:19 |
| graingert | phillijw: you can killx and start it again | 03:19 |
| phillijw | My mouse is a Logitech mx510 which requires some fancy button mappings | 03:19 |
| graingert | phillijw: and you might be able to xmove all your windows to an xvfb | 03:20 |
| [TiZ] | Attempting to play audio over the correct plughw device for my HDMI results in... nothing. There are no errors, but there is also no sound. | 03:21 |

| tomreyn | phillijw: are you saying the scroll wheel or scroll buttons are not working? | 03:23 |
| phillijw | tomreyn: precisely. I just need to set up my mouse. I'm assuming xorg.conf is still the proper way to do it but I know xorg has changed a bit recently so I wasn't sure | 03:24 |
| tomreyn | phillijw: i was hoping for you to answer one or the other, scroll wheel OR scroll buttons do not work. | 03:24 |
| tomreyn | phillijw: which ubuntu version are you on? | 03:25 |
| phillijw | tomreyn: well scrolling was working until I tried to get the other buttons to work. 12.10 | 03:26 |

| tomreyn | phillijw: more but older docs here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX510Mouse | 03:28 |

| tomreyn | restart X, that is | 03:29 |
| phillijw | I don't have one to edit though :) | 03:29 |
| skpl113 | wilee-nilee: it was formated as fat32 but i couldnt mount it that way as the mount command said no such filesystem, i just reformatted it as ntfs, will mount recognize it? | 03:29 |
| phillijw | I have to run X -configure it looks like | 03:30 |
| tomreyn | phillijw: you can just create one | 03:30 |
| wilee-nilee | skpl113, What OS are you doing this in? | 03:30 |
| phillijw | tomreyn: how | 03:30 |

| sid|1 | ya | 03:31 |
| phillijw | I certainly do not have the xorg syntax memorized or anything | 03:31 |
| === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off | ||
| wilee-nilee | sid|1,The ? is what do you mean | 03:32 |
| skpl113 | wilee-nilee: ubuntu 10.4 | 03:32 |
| sid|1 | ok so some time ago i was trying to repartition | 03:32 |
| sid|1 | make my win8 partition smaller | 03:32 |
| sid|1 | and make my linux partition bigger | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | skpl113, Just unplug it and plug it in you want a fat32 | 03:32 |
| sid|1 | so i had to shrink win8's partition to the left and expand linux's partition to the left | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, To the left could mean several things can you be exact. | 03:33 |
| sid|1 | and when i tryed to do that it said GRUB might | 03:33 |
| sid|1 | hrm lemme find an example | 03:33 |
| phillijw | The example I'm reading for setting up an xorg.conf is telling me to run X -configure using a root terminal. I obviously can only use sudo.... is that what I need to do? | 03:34 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, Ah I see now, that should not be a problem other then having to reload the mbr to boot sometimes. | 03:34 |
| sid|1 | heres hat i was trying to do | 03:34 |
| skpl113 | wilee-nilee: ubuntu 10.4.4 is what im trying to install, the os i'm in is crunchbang | 03:34 |
| sid|1 | https://www.dropbox.com/lightbox/home/Public | 03:34 |
| sid|1 | oops | 03:34 |
| sid|1 | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29235534/20120922_165906.jpg | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | skpl113, WE can't help with crunchbang, but I would just upnplu it and plug it in to mount it normally, if crunch will do that. | 03:35 |
| sid|1 | wilee-nilee: did you see the pic? | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, You want to run those separately, gparted may resize and you will have overlapping partitons that is not good. | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, never load up gparted like that | 03:37 |
| sid|1 | so do them seperately | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, Yes sir! | 03:38 |
| sid|1 | what do you mean never load gparted up like that? | 03:38 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, gparted may not resize exactly when you do that many, with loading up I mean have so many things run one after another. | 03:38 |
| sid|1 | so do them step by step | 03:39 |
| sid|1 | so resize windows first | 03:39 |
| sid|1 | then reboot | 03:39 |
| sid|1 | and resize linux? | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, No reboot needed, it iks just haveing partitions move up against each other like that is asking for trouble consecutively | 03:40 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 03:40 |
| sid|1 | oh ok ty | 03:40 |
| sid|1 | will do soon | 03:40 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, If any of those are W7 I would use its disk manager to do it. Much faster and safer, use gparted for thr linux | 03:41 |
| wilee-nilee | the* | 03:41 |
| sid|1 | i have win 8 | 03:42 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, same thing with W8 let it resize itself | 03:42 |
| sid|1 | and isnt disk manger IN win8 | 03:42 |
| sid|1 | so i would have to go into windows to open the app | 03:42 |
| sid|1 | causing the hdd to be mounted | 03:43 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, I'm not sure I would assume it has a disk manager in the admin account, I have a clone of it I had the release installed but it crashed a couple of times I can't have that while writing grad papers. | 03:43 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, Windows has a virtual partitoner since at least W7, it is fast and safe, yes it runs while mounted | 03:45 |
| sid|1 | wilee-nilee: ive had bad experiences while using disk manager in win8 | 03:45 |
| wilee-nilee | sid|1, THen do what you think feels right, personally I use gparted to make all my partitions before I install, with windows this leaves out the boot partition, which I don't want myself. | 03:47 |

| phillllijw | marcio, top right corner of the screen has a power icon with an "about" button in it | 03:48 |
| wilee-nilee | phillllijw, Did ou change the time out in grub | 03:48 |
| phillllijw | wilee-nilee, what? | 03:48 |
| phillllijw | wilee-nilee, no, it's basically a fresh install | 03:48 |
| wilee-nilee | phillllijw, so if you do nothing on powering on what happens? | 03:48 |
| phillllijw | wilee-nilee, it boots into the login screen | 03:49 |
| wilee-nilee | phillllijw, Of what | 03:49 |
| wilee-nilee | some dual boot is why I ask | 03:49 |
| phillllijw | wilee-nilee, Just ask if I dual boot man... its the ubuntu login screen | 03:49 |
| marcio | excellent! thanks! and how do i change my desktop in lubuntu? i want a plain wallpaper with no icons but all i have is icons | 03:49 |
| wilee-nilee | phillllijw, Welcome to my ignore, I'm not keen of irritants. | 03:50 |

| wilee-nilee | I don't care about being thanked, just some holier the though when being helped is a big red flag | 03:53 |
| phillllijw | Is this page updated for 12.10? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 03:53 |
| wilee-nilee | then* | 03:53 |
| psusi | phillllijw, you hold down shift to get the grub menu if it is normally hidden | 03:57 |
| phillllijw | psusi, hold down? Hmm... that page says to "press" -- might be misleading | 03:57 |
| phillllijw | i'll give her a shot | 03:58 |
| phillllijw | that didn't work | 03:58 |
| marcio | all the screenshots i see for lubuntu show it with a clean desktop whereas mine is all icons, any ideas on how to change it? i already looking through look and feel and desktop settings, no dice | 03:58 |
| phillllijw | oh... I have to do it before the bios finishes loading | 03:59 |
| phillllijw | interesting | 03:59 |
| psusi | phillllijw, you have to do it once the bios hands off to grub | 04:00 |
| wilee-nilee | marcio, here is a background link, I will look for the reonve icons link next | 04:00 |
| wilee-nilee | http://askubuntu.com/questions/68742/how-do-i-change-my-wallpaper | 04:00 |
| psusi | you can also just repeatedly tap on the arrow keys to scroll the menu up/down | 04:00 |
| phillllijw | awesome. Got to the root shell prompt. Bingo | 04:02 |
| marcio | wilee i already saw that, i googled it too, but it doesnt change my actual desktop which has icons everywhere | 04:02 |
| marcio | i changed my wallpaper but it wont display | 04:03 |

| wilee-nilee | marcio, Some things have to be done from text files, so you want to search on the web with exact dicriptions to find the info sometimes, it is a great desktop for someone in your position, but a little tricky to understand, and lower on the support as well. There is a #lubuntu channel but it has like 60 people there. | 04:07 |
| marcio | hmm yeah the guy in that thread is asking what im asking but neither of the solutions are working | 04:08 |

| KindOne | Yes. | 04:37 |
| jameyhazey1 | cool. | 04:38 |
| jameyhazey1 | I have an old dell latitude d610 that I've just installed ubuntu 12.10 onto, and now unfortunately it will not complete booting up. The screen flashes purple but then fades out and dies. I'm fairly sure there is an issue with graphics drivers, as I had to turn on "nomodeset" in the options when installing off a DVD to see the installer, but I'm very new to linux and don't know terribly much at all apart from what I've read on th | 04:38 |
| john77 | hello everyone | 04:38 |
| john77 | looking for advice regarding startup disk creator | 04:39 |
| wilee-nilee | jameyhazey1, You can use nomodeset in the kernel stanza to boot in to investigate drivers in the os | 04:39 |
| jameyhazey1 | I have been able to hold down shift and bring up GRUB, and entered into recovery mode, and when I enter into the low graphics mode, the xserver log file says it can detect a screen but found none with a useable configuration, then goes on to say a fatal server error has occurred and no screen have been found at all, telling me to check a log file at "/var/log/xorg.0.log" I have no idea how to check this specific log file! | 04:39 |
| john77 | wondering whether startup disk creator can be used to create bootable usb stick for other debian-related distros such as mint, zorin and the like | 04:42 |

| jameyhazey1 | @wilee-nilee when I use no mode set i still get a black screen, so i am unsure how i can investigate said drivers... | 04:42 |
| overclucker | franzer: you can unpack it with gunzip and then run it, or pipe it to bash: zcat /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql.gz | sudo bash | 04:43 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | helloo folks i just came up to say that it have a problem with the google earth 7 on ubuntu 12.04 dont start | 04:43 |
| wilee-nilee | jameyhazey1, There is no answer here to the suggestion here but probably worth trying. http://askubuntu.com/questions/164968/ubuntu-12-04-on-dell-latitude-d610-along-with-windows-7 | 04:43 |

| OMG_UbuntuServer | Hello | 04:47 |
| OMG_UbuntuServer | I install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on my system | 04:47 |

| OMG_UbuntuServer | I can connect guest > my server | 04:48 |
| OMG_UbuntuServer | but, my server can connet to internet | 04:48 |
| OMG_UbuntuServer | how can I solve this problem? | 04:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Donnie_Darko21, You install the lsb-core? | 04:49 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | does someone install googleearth 7 ? | 04:49 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | yes | 04:49 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | already installed | 04:49 |
| jameyhazey1 | wiee-nilee thanks for the link. i've already read this one and followed the instructions, but am given a choice of running in low graphcis mode for one session, reconfigure graphics or troubleshoot the error | 04:49 |
| OMG_UbuntuServer | Anyone? | 04:50 |
| jameyhazey1 | or exit to console login. not too sure what to do from here | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Donnie_Darko21, I see instructions on the web, you have probably have as well. | 04:51 |

| organixpear | hello- I have an atheros ar9485 wireless chip inside an acer aspire one. Using the latest ubuntu released days ago every time the system reaches the desktop from a fresh boot after a few seconds the entire system locks up and i have to hold down the power key. if I actually open the laptop and remove the wifi card everything is great. i would definetly like to use my wifi though. | 04:53 |
| mingo | any recommendations on a PC laptop with great battery life? are Lenovos the way to go? | 04:57 |

| isaac | Does anyone know why pulseaudio won't show any input devices? I think it might be using the wrong soundcard since the default in alsamixer was wrong, but I changed the default to the right one now and pulseaudio still doesn't show any microphones or input. Thanks in advanced :) | 04:58 |

| jameyhazey1 | a new user attempting to install some compatible graphics drivers with "nomodeset". computer is booting into low graphics mode but i am unsure how to proceed. | 05:02 |
| Narkon | install the drivers for your graphic card | 05:02 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as scottas | ||
| jameyhazey1 | narkon i am unclear on how i can do this? my computer is refusing to display the login screen | 05:03 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: where do you get in the boot process? | 05:03 |
| elky | mingo, you're likely to get a better response for that from somewhere that's not a tightly focussed support channel, such as #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware | 05:04 |
| jameyhazey1 | i see a purple screen, then the screen goes black but is still on. if i boot into GRUB the display works though... | 05:05 |
| onceagain | my compiz just crashed while I was running some data mining software in vmware and now I cant get my vmware to maximize/restore to my desktop. I will lose some progress if I have to terminate vmware. any suggestions? | 05:05 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: what videocard? | 05:05 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: what's your hardware? | 05:05 |
| jameyhazey1 | an old dell latitude D610. | 05:06 |
| jameyhazey1 | wikipedia tells me it has a Intel UMA integrated (915GM) and a ATI discrete (X300) | 05:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Donnie_Darko21, Yeah I removed the 6.2 and completely removed any google earth link on my computer and still could not get it to get past a flash of the first gui. | 05:07 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | yep ... | 05:08 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols, narkon. could it be because of the dual cards that i might be having issues? | 05:09 |
| * ArchOpenBox Note remember to self not to use ATI card in Linux | 05:09 | |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: so you boot in grup, then add the nomodeset flag and you should get pass the login screen? | 05:09 |
| Narkon | grub* | 05:09 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | soon fix will come | 05:10 |
| jameyhazey1 | narkon yeah i boot in grub, add the flag but I don't get the login screen. I get a "low graphics mode" instead. | 05:10 |
| Donnie_Darko21 | wilee-nilee use the 6.2 | 05:10 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: do you get to your desktop in low graphics mode? | 05:11 |
| jameyhazey1 | narkon no, i cannot get to the login screen | 05:13 |
| jameyhazey1 | narkon i get asked to either run in low graphics for one session, which ends up artifacting the screen and freezing, reconfigure graphics, troubleshooting the error or exiting to console login. | 05:14 |
| ArchOpenBox | Best way to highlight text in web browser and save txt? | 05:14 |
| abdostar | is it possible to pin an app(shortcut) to the desktop? | 05:15 |
| reptile4rmy | hmmm | 05:16 |
| ArchOpenBox | abdostar: When I use Cinnamon yes. I use kupfer for Unity and Gnome 3 and MATE. | 05:17 |
| alecb | I was helping a friend install ubuntu and I misunderstood some stuff about what he wanted for his partition sizes, and thought he wanted to shrink his windows partition to 100GB (he meant he wanted 100GB for ubuntu). so right now it's in the process of shrinking the partition, but the issue is he may have more than 100GB of data on it. | 05:17 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: why do you want to install special videodrivers in the first place? | 05:18 |
| abdostar | ArchOpenBox, thank you | 05:18 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: reboot, get to the grub screen, press F6 and make sure nomodeset is set, then boot. Do you still get a black screen? | 05:18 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols i simply assumed the ones that came with ubuntu were incompatable. | 05:19 |
| abdostar | what are the UI tweaks you do to new Ubuntu installation to make it better | 05:20 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: rething your assumptions. so what have you done to install drivers so far? | 05:20 |
| jameyhazey1 | narkon i get to grub, but pressing f6 is not doing anything at all. | 05:20 |
| arunkumar413 | hi, how to scan for installed OS on my system from grub 2 | 05:20 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: hum yea, follow this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it/162076#162076 | 05:21 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, what is the actual problem? | 05:21 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: go to the Black/purple screen after you boot Ubuntu for the first time" section | 05:21 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. i haven't done anything yet since i can't get to a useful stage yet! haha | 05:21 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: so you get the low graphics message immediately after installing ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| ArchOpenBox | abdostar: Lots of tweaks to many to list right of the bat. | 05:22 |
| wols | if so, press ctrl+alt+f1, log in and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:22 |
| wols | arunkumar413: grub2 has a "help" command IIRC | 05:22 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. no, only after adding the nomodeset flag in grub. if i don't add the flag the screen just boots to purple flash and black | 05:22 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: i have installed 3 OS, window, ubuntu, fedora. formatted fedora drive from windows OS. now its entering into grub prompt after reboot | 05:23 |
| reptile4rmy | qqq | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, You can't format a linux drive from windows. | 05:23 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: remove the nomodeset and try to press ctrl+alt+f1 to get a prompt | 05:23 |
| wols | arunkumar413: what was the last OS you have installed? | 05:24 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: wols, fedora | 05:24 |
| magn3ts | wilee-nilee: uh what? | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, Did you make a flash drive install or a cd from windows is that what you meant? | 05:25 |
| magn3ts | wilee-nilee: oh, you mean format it to an extX fs? | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | magn3ts, exactly | 05:25 |
| magn3ts | never mind, I just parsed it wrong probably | 05:25 |
| * magn3ts nods | 05:25 | |
| jameyhazey1 | narkon i have followed the instructions but that only gets me to the mow graphics menu where i get stuck | 05:26 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: installed fedora using cd. formateed the fedora from windows using disk management. | 05:26 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, What type of partition? | 05:27 |
| wols | arunkumar413: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System | 05:27 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols i have removed the flag and have tried crtl alt f1 but cannot get a prompt to show. | 05:27 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: i don't know what graphic menu you are talking about, what distribution and version are you running? | 05:27 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: i'm not able to boot to any OS. it's going to the grub command prompt | 05:27 |
| === Harry is now known as Guest12085 | ||
| jameyhazey1 | narkon ubuntu 32 bit desktop 12.10 | 05:28 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: then I guess you have to put it in again. check for any /var/log/Xorg* files | 05:28 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. adding the nomodeset back gets be to low graphcs mode and i have a prompt up now | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, I would run the bootscript from a ubuntu live cd and post the text in a pastebin so we can see exactly whats up. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 05:29 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: but my cd/dvd drive is also not working. that's why i'm asked how to rescue the OS from grub command prompt | 05:30 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: and you can check your Xorg.0.log files | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, Or from the live cd use this app to just run the bootinfo summary to give us a url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 05:31 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. sure, how would i go about doing that? :P | 05:31 |
| wols | by going to /var/log and looking at files? | 05:31 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, HOw did you use a fedora cd to install then. | 05:31 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: i installed fedora from cd but after few days the the cd/dvd drive is not working | 05:32 |
| cowsquad | how do I set the scrollbar mode normal? | 05:33 |
| wols | arunkumar413: when you have a grub prompt, type "help" | 05:33 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. in the prompt? so i just write the directory i want to look at? I am new to linux and not very knowledgeable about unix commands etc | 05:33 |

| cowsquad | #exit | 05:35 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: no idea about the partition. does update-grub command detect all my OS | 05:35 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: if it doesn't work, you'll have to purge it and try something else, gl | 05:35 |
| wols | Narkon: X300 | 05:35 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, The page tells you how to find it. | 05:36 |
| wols | jameyhazey1: which ubuntu version again? | 05:36 |
| jameyhazey1 | 12.10 | 05:36 |
| wols | then ignore what narkon wrote. he has no clue. fglrx won't support your videocard | 05:36 |
| wols | and the first thing to check is what videocard is actually used. alternatively you could disable/enable only a single one in BIOS if possible | 05:37 |
| admin3920 | wols: thanks | 05:38 |
| admin3920 | ubottu: thanks for info | 05:38 |
| ubottu | admin3920: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:38 |
| arunkumar413 | wilee-nilee: i don't know the partitions, i want grub to automatically detect all the OS | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, If you can't get a usb to boot from to get in rather then a cd you are probably going to have to manual boot in. | 05:38 |
| wols | arunkumar413: and I want a pony. neither of us will get his wants | 05:39 |
| wols | arunkumar413: as a hint, start with "ls" | 05:39 |
| wols | arunkumar413: and start to read documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Command_002dline-and-menu-entry-commands.html | 05:40 |
| jameyhazey1 | wols. k. so i entered the command you said and simply got it spat back out at me? lol. | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | wols, I'm imagining a magic pony for you. ;) | 05:40 |
| arunkumar413 | wols: typed ls. it says command not recognised | 05:40 |
| wols | arunkumar413: what kind of grub shell do you have? | 05:41 |
| arunkumar413 | wols: grub> | 05:41 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: it's true the fglrx won't support it but I this seems to be the way to solve it : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11361011&postcount=5 ; do the last 3 commands (ignore the sudo apt-get remove if you haven't installed it) | 05:42 |
| wols | Narkon: how do you know it will work with a hybrid graphics notebook? | 05:42 |
| wols | Narkon: also, the radeon driver is installed and used by default. but obviously it doesn't work so well for him | 05:43 |
| Aravind_geek | arunkumar413: if u could boot from live usb drive.then u could reinstall grub from there | 05:43 |

| wols | and all the things there you already have anyways | 05:49 |
| wols | or should have | 05:49 |
| Narkon | jameyhazey1: it's important to note that you need a live connection to the internet on your computer for apt-get to work | 05:49 |
| arunkumar413 | aravind_geek, is there a command in grub command prompt to detect all the OS | 05:49 |

| arunkumar413 | aravind_geekm, i'll try it later. now my cd/dvd not detecting | 06:38 |
| overclucker | Phase: sudo -u username /bin/bash ? | 06:39 |
| Phase | hmm let me try | 06:40 |
| wilee-nilee | arunkumar413, If you get into ubuntu again run the bootscript and save it to post here or in a thread at the ubuntu forum, the script will give a lot more info on your setup. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 06:41 |
| Phase | overclucker: That worked, ty :) | 06:41 |
| puff | I'm an HBO subscriber, I pay a ton of money every month to get cable premium channels. HBO has been promoting the bejezus out of HBO GO, and google search results indicate I should be able to watch HBO GO on my ubuntu box... but when I actually open those search result pages, I get link farm spam. | 06:42 |
| Aravind_geek | arunkumar413, Is it detected by Bios. not shown only in ubuntu. | 06:42 |
| Phase | puff, try navigating to hbo go from HBO's main website? | 06:43 |
| joe__ | help | 06:43 |
| codemaniac | joe__: what with? | 06:44 |
| puff | Case in point, third gogle result from "hbo go on ubuntu" : http://www.webtopicture.com/hbo/hbo-go-ubuntu.html | 06:44 |
| Phase | puff: That's someones website on a google results page. That is not the actual website. | 06:44 |
| Phase | puff: http://www.hbogo.com/ Here is HBO Go's website. | 06:46 |
| overclucker | puff: http://www.webtopicture.com/hbo/hbo-dinosaur-ubuntu-popsicle.html | 06:46 |
| joe__ | where am i? | 06:46 |
| puff | Phase: Yes, and hbo's hbo go page doesn't say anything about linux. | 06:46 |
| puff | overclucker: thanks. | 06:46 |
| Phase | puff: Then you need to blame those people with websites who claim you're able to watch HBO Go on linux, not Ubuntu itself. | 06:47 |
| puff | overclucker: Again, that URL is a link spam farm. | 06:47 |
| puff | Phase: I'm not blaming ubuntu, I'm quite aware of how spam works, I'm just asking for a pointer to a real ubuntu solution :-) | 06:47 |
| Phase | puff: Ahh, it didn't seem like that, sorry :) | 06:48 |
| puff | no sweat, I should have been more clear. | 06:48 |
| joe__ | exit | 06:49 |
| overclucker | puff: have you tried using hbogo yet? | 06:53 |

| desu | Wow, no-one talking... | 06:56 |
| Phase | :o the horror | 06:57 |
| puff | overclucker: No, because I can't figure out what I'm supposed to download and install. | 06:57 |
| food | I am having same problem like http://askubuntu.com/questions/203465/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-keeps-on-freezing I need some help for preventing this kind of issue.My Ubuntu all windows , panel get ugly if it is continuing for more than 12 hours. | 06:57 |
| food | I installed KDE and removed compize some other Gnome application, xorg is perhaps up to date. Even i upgraded the Kernel to 3.4 . Still i am having this problem | 06:58 |
| food | So my laptop can't work for long time | 06:58 |
| m3pow | hello guys ! | 07:00 |
| desu | hey | 07:00 |
| m3pow | any particular reason why disk access is a bit slow in ubuntu 12.10 ? | 07:00 |
| puff | m3pow: Hello. | 07:00 |
| desu | Is it really? | 07:00 |
| puff | food: I wish I had a good answer for you, but I'm still back on 11.4 (the previous LTS). | 07:01 |
| m3pow | since i've installed it | 07:01 |
| m3pow | 12.04.1 was way faster | 07:01 |
| puff | food: My only suggestion is, try a different window manager and see if you still have the problem. If not, you've narrowed it down to the window manager. Try "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" | 07:01 |
| desu | I loved 11.04, then my hard drive failed and I decided to upgrade... | 07:01 |
| OpenSorce | m3pow, ide or sata drive(s)? | 07:01 |
| m3pow | sata | 07:02 |
| m3pow | HDX18 | 07:02 |
| OpenSorce | Could be a bug | 07:02 |
| m3pow | could be yes! | 07:02 |
| food | puff, I remove compize and installed kwine .... now my default GUI is KDE | 07:02 |
| m3pow | did not find any related issues on forums | 07:02 |
| desu | default gui is awesome for me... | 07:02 |
| food | puff, Can you give me the Download link of 11.04? | 07:03 |
| desu | x86 or x64? | 07:03 |
| wilee-nilee | food, 11.04 is end of life and not supported he meant 10.04 | 07:03 |
| food | i see | 07:04 |
| food | puff, I think that is not problem of x-manager | 07:04 |
| Phase | I have the user bob's shell set to nologin, when I do sudo -u bob -s /bin/bash from my username, it puts me into MY home directory on the user bob.. adding -H doesn't help, any ideas? | 07:04 |
| food | puff, you had the same problem? | 07:05 |
| m3pow | thanks OpenSource | 07:05 |
| overclucker | Phase: this is you aren't simulating a login, and if you were, your login shell would be used (nologin) | 07:06 |
| rodayo | Is there a way to "pause" a large operation that's been running for a while? i.e. so i can resume it later? | 07:07 |
| rodayo | large copy operation* | 07:07 |
| desu | Phase: I can't help, but if you find a solution tell me? | 07:07 |
| nu11value | rlogin | 07:07 |
| desu | rodayo ^Z | 07:07 |
| desu | (CTRL+Z) | 07:07 |
| Phase | overclucker: Hmm, well maybe I should approach this from a different angle. I have a daemon I want to run from that user, but I don't want it to be accessible via normal login | 07:07 |
| Phase | desu: See my message to overclucker ^ I'm looking at different ways to tackle the problem | 07:08 |
| rodayo | desu, and to continue it later, just start it again? | 07:08 |
| desu | fg %<job number> | 07:08 |
| desu | "jobs" to check currently running processes | 07:09 |
| desu | rodayo: got it? | 07:09 |
| rodayo | neat, TIL | 07:09 |
| desu | TIL? | 07:09 |
| rodayo | today i learned | 07:10 |
| desu | Ah | 07:10 |
| Phase | it's a reddit thing | 07:10 |
| rodayo | Does it make a difference that it's running from a live usb? | 07:10 |
| overclucker | Phase: give it a shell, but don't set a password | 07:11 |
| Phase | overclucker: Actually, sshd has DenyUsers, I believe that would suitable enough for me | 07:11 |
| Phase | hm | 07:11 |
| desu | you can also run processes in the background by adding & at the end (e.x. chromium-browser &) | 07:11 |
| overclucker | Phase: no password means no login, other than from su | 07:12 |
| rodayo | desu, actually the more important question, does it get saved after you shutdown the machine? | 07:12 |
| rodayo | guessing no? | 07:12 |
| desu | rodayo Can you provide an example? | 07:13 |
| Phase | overclucker: That seems to have worked, thanks | 07:13 |
| Phase | desu: The solution I have working (thanks to overclucker) is giving the user a shell, but stripping a password from it so it can't login. | 07:14 |
| desu | rodayo Nevermind, bit of a brainfart, no you can't continue the process even after shutdown. Unless you dumped your memory into a storage device, then remounted it to memory after reboot. | 07:14 |
| rodayo | desu, my windows boot stuff got messed up but i can mount into it on a liveusb and grab the files. there's abotu 300GB that i'm transfering to a NAS...but it's a really slow connection 1.9MB/sec so i wanna pause it and restart tomorro | 07:14 |
| rodayo | i read about rsync, is that sorta what i'm looking for? | 07:15 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, You know how to repair a windows boot? What windows release? | 07:16 |
| desu | probably, don't have any experience with rsync. | 07:16 |
| rodayo | i tried a few things: ntfsfix, ....uh i guess that was it actually | 07:16 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, XP? | 07:17 |
| rodayo | sry, win7 | 07:17 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, You can rebuild the BCD if you have a install or recovery disc | 07:17 |
| rodayo | i can't say for sure that it's the boot that's broken. but gparted says the C:/ partition is corrupted | 07:18 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, Is it showing as unallocated? | 07:18 |
| rodayo | i actually do not | 07:18 |
| rodayo | on boot up it says "could not find volume" or something like that and goes into a grub rescue prompt | 07:19 |
| rodayo | oh and i had it dual booting with ubuntu | 07:19 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, YOu remove the ubuntu before this? | 07:19 |
| rodayo | no i can't boot into ubuntu either, normally grub brings up the option to choose which os i wanna boot into... | 07:20 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, Did you try to get any help at the ubuntu forums? | 07:21 |
| rodayo | my plan is to copy the 300GB of data fromt he ntfs partition, keep it on the nas, do a clean new win8 install on this computer then copy them back | 07:21 |
| wilee-nilee | say with a bootscript | 07:21 |
| ^_||_^ | ahhhh the whales of ubuntu | 07:21 |
| rodayo | to the* | 07:21 |
| desu | Why win8? | 07:21 |
| ^_||_^ | I went back to Debian and I"m never leaving again | 07:21 |
| rodayo | i get a nice deal on it, kinda wanna try it out | 07:22 |
| Phase | ^_||_^: I use Win7 for desktop, and have 2 debian servers, 1 ubuntu server, and a centos server | 07:22 |
| desu | I'm on ubuntu, thinking of switching over to debian though, too much bloat I don't need on ubuntu. | 07:22 |
| Phase | I don't discriminate :D | 07:22 |
| desu | and unity...dear jesus | 07:22 |
| rodayo | desu, unity gets a bad wrap, i don't really mind it too much | 07:22 |
| rodayo | rap* | 07:22 |
| ^_||_^ | niceee Phase | 07:22 |
| desu | I don't discriminate either, but win8 seems like a terrible waste of time... | 07:23 |
| rodayo | some of the defaults of it are just plain bad design ideas | 07:23 |
| Phase | eh I'll switch to win8 when I get my hands on a box that came preinstalled with it | 07:23 |
| desu | rodayo, I tried it, I will admit it's not bad. But it's just not my cup of tea | 07:23 |
| rodayo | desu, yeah but i don't think it's unreasonable to wanna try it out right? | 07:23 |
| rodayo | ah i see | 07:23 |
| desu | I guess, but I would just try it on a virtual machine, see if it's actually worth it. | 07:24 |
| rodayo | im kind of a sucker for sleek and pretty UI, but nothing beats a linux prompt | 07:24 |
| desu | haha agreed. | 07:24 |
| Phase | meh I use Win7 basic | 07:25 |
| Phase | don't care for aero | 07:25 |
| rodayo | just reading about rsync, says i can just merge later and it'll only copy over files that don't exist | 07:25 |
| rodayo | hopefully it doesn't lag too long on the "check" process | 07:25 |
| Phase | rodayo: once you do rsync once to get everything done, if you run it again it'll just copy the changes over, yeah | 07:25 |
| rodayo | oh so i have to be using rsync to continue it later? | 07:26 |
| rodayo | cause right now it's a folder to folder copy with nautilus | 07:26 |
| desu | rodayo isn't that just the same as "mv -u"? | 07:26 |
| rodayo | rsync does network transfers too | 07:27 |
| Phase | rodayo: now that I don't know (about continue it later) | 07:27 |
| wilee-nilee | rodayo, When you install W8 once all setup run the image backup and save it on a separate HD, and back up the rest as well, you would not have to do this recovery then. | 07:27 |

| rigo | is there something between the "netinst" and the "full with ubuntu desktop" iso? so i would need a minimalist install but dont want to download all the packages every time i install ubuntu. | 07:46 |
| Phase | rigo: Not that I'm aware of | 07:46 |
| desu_ | isn't that just the server version? | 07:46 |
| desu_ | server is pretty minimalistic | 07:47 |
| Phase | rigo: Honestly, I would download the desktop release once and hang onto it incase you need to reinstall | 07:47 |
| Phase | since you don't want to have to redownload all the various packages, etc. | 07:47 |
| wilee-nilee | rigo, the net is the base install you will have a choice of servers and desktops to choose from. | 07:47 |
| rigo | can i add the install disk as repository? | 07:48 |
| rigo | once i had a debian release was a minimalist installation but it was 4 dvd large with lot lot of packages | 07:48 |
| Phase | the debian netinst iso is incredibly tiny last time I used it | 07:49 |
| Phase | was* | 07:49 |
| Phase | I suck at words when it gets to be this late -_- | 07:49 |
| rigo | ubu netinst is 24mb either. | 07:49 |
| rigo | i just feel wasting my time with the download.. i reinstall my system regulary to find the best minimalist installation for me | 07:50 |
| rigo | BUT if i could find out how to backup (and than restore) the whole system easy i wouldnt need such thing | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | rigo, The net install is the best way to get a minimal install of ubuntu if that is what you are looking for. | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | rigo, Clonezilla ia a easy cloning tool. | 07:51 |

| tevus_ | hello everybody | 08:17 |
| codemaniac | hi tevus | 08:17 |
| tevus_ | im a beginner trying to make ubuntu work | 08:17 |
| tevus_ | first of all the problem is that flash crashes | 08:18 |
| tevus_ | d i think it is because i installed a youtube to mp3 program thingy | 08:18 |
| tevus_ | anyone out there? | 08:18 |
| _Desu_ | youtube to mp3 program? | 08:18 |
| tevus_ | oh well, i realize that i dont have time now | 08:19 |
| tevus_ | thank you and have a good day | 08:19 |
| _Desu_ | ummm ok.. | 08:19 |
| rigo | and what is the difference between 12.04 and 12.10 netinst? only that the .10 contains a newer kernel? | 08:19 |
| _Desu_ | anytime I guess. | 08:19 |
| rsv | my ubuntu 12.04 had crashed, so i tried to re-install the ubuntu. it has overwritten my home directory. is there any way i can restore it | 08:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, newer software versions. | 08:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | rsv, if you reinstalled and didn't back up your /home directory, there's a very very slim chance of recovery. | 08:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | this is why backups are awesome. | 08:20 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| rsv | TheLordOfTime: i thought it will leave it | 08:20 |
| _Desu_ | backups all day errday | 08:20 |
| rsv | TheLordOfTime: Please help me | 08:20 |
| TheLordOfTime | rsv, not in a reinstall from scratch. that'd only be an upgrade. | 08:20 |
| rigo | and sry for the stupid question, but can i install all the "old" softwares what i used on 12.04 to the 12.10? | 08:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | rsv, not sure i can, since i keep backups ;P | 08:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, some you can, some you can't, what old stuff did you need/want? | 08:21 |
| rsv | any software which scans the hd | 08:21 |
| rsv | and recovers files | 08:21 |
| rsv | any such software | 08:21 |
| rigo | xbmc, tvheadend, and a tiny desktop backup. | 08:21 |

| Jordan_U | rsv: There are photorec and others, but don't expect too much. How important is this data to you? | 08:22 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: it is my 3 years of work | 08:22 |
| rigo | and a GOOD ftp client, which i couldnt find 'till now. | 08:22 |
| stercor | I have a .tar file on a RAM stick. How do I extract it to a directory on my hard drive? | 08:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | stercor, uhh... on a RAM stick? | 08:23 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: Then if you're currently booted from said Ubuntu install, shut down now and do the rest of whatever you're going to do from a LiveCD. | 08:23 |
| stercor | USB drive? | 08:23 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: And please learn from this and keep good backups in the future. | 08:23 |
| jt1997 | Would anyone be able to guide me through adding a Remote Desktop for Ubuntu 12.10? | 08:23 |
| rigo | any idee? | 08:23 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: what do i do now | 08:23 |
| rigo | jt1997 i use xrdp on 12.04 | 08:23 |
| rigo | i sure hope it works with 12.10 | 08:24 |
| jt1997 | I updated to 12.10, and I would like to use the built-in feature. | 08:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, it should | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step | 08:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, unless its not in the repos, but i think xrdp is. | 08:24 |
| rigo | xrdp is in | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: First, as a quick check, please run "sudo blkid" and pastebin the output. | 08:24 |
| rigo | in the 12.04 | 08:24 |
| MestreLion | jt1997: the built-in feature works fine... but it's a vnc server, and for your current session only | 08:25 |
| jt1997 | What do you mean, "for your current session only" ? | 08:25 |
| rigo | sorry. i tought jt1997 looks for a server. | 08:25 |
| OerHeks | stercor, copy the file to your harddrive, open terminal: tar xzvf <filename>.tar.gz | 08:26 |
| MestreLion | jt1997: it means you can't remotely log in | 08:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, its likely in 12.10 too | 08:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | !info xrdp quantal | 08:26 |

| TheLordOfTime | rigo, ^ its in quantal. :) | 08:26 |
| rigo | gosh. thanks :) | 08:26 |
| MestreLion | jt1997: you must leave your computer running and logged in for the built-in remote to work | 08:26 |
| jt1997 | Aah, I see. | 08:26 |
| jt1997 | I would still like to set it up :) | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: Did you understand my last comment? | 08:27 |
| rigo | nevermind. i have a fresh 12.04 installed with quantal kernel so i wait 'till i mess it up. :D | 08:27 |
| MestreLion | jt1997: i guess the set up is quite straightforward... just go to system settings and enable it | 08:27 |
| jt1997 | Don't I have to do the configuration online? | 08:28 |
| jt1997 | at https://uccs.landscape.canonical.com/edit/ | 08:28 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/2247853 | 08:28 |
| MestreLion | jt1997: i've never seen this site. maybe this is a 12.10 thing? | 08:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | jtthat's only needed if you're using landscape for managing things | 08:29 |

| TheLordOfTime | jt1997, you don't read then. | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: Do you know why you have one ext3 partition and one ext4 partition? Do you have more than one GNU/Linux distribution installed? | 08:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | jt1997, you have to configure things in your system settings to allow remote | 08:30 |
| F-3000 | Hello! I ran this nice problem that PC's (usb) wlan stopped finding modem once I switched video-card on it. Might anyone have any idea what's causing it, or know how to start troubleshooting what's wrong? | 08:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | jt1997, you don't have to configure landscape | 08:30 |

| TheLordOfTime | and he just up and leaves. | 08:30 |
| rigo | let me know what is your suggestion to my case: | 08:30 |
| TheLordOfTime | *shrugs* | 08:30 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: that is my boot partition | 08:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | rsv, ext4 works just as well ;P | 08:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | rsv, is your /boot leftover from something? ;P (just saying) | 08:31 |
| rsv | yes | 08:31 |
| rigo | on the company network in my workplace i found only a few open ports. (3389 isnt open, mstsc.exe cant open my home desktop) | 08:31 |
| rigo | i have here xrdp installed i can log in with ssh tunnel rdp. but its damn slow | 08:31 |
| rigo | is there a faster way to reach my home desktop? | 08:32 |
| rigo | i need a desktop cause LOT of things are disabled by the proxy. | 08:32 |
| F-3000 | Some networks are found, but not the one that's supposed to, and even some wlans that have high quality, are not shown on. | 08:32 |
| rsv | TheLordOfTime: my previous installation | 08:32 |
| rigo | lot i mean fb, the large mailing systems like yahoo, and everything what wit "webmail" begins... so pretty lol. | 08:32 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: doesnt photorec replicate my entire /home user accounts | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: No, it doesn't. | 08:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | rigo, sounds like you're wanting to bypass the proxy at your location to circumvent policies. | 08:33 |
| rigo | yes. it doesnt sounds like. it IS the thing :) | 08:33 |
| rigo | i wont break any laws with this as far as i know... :) | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | rsv: You're not going to get all your data back, and you're certainly not going to get all your settings and configuration back neatly either. This is why you really need backups in the future. Boot from a LiveCD/USB and follow the guide I linked to to get back as much as you can. | 08:34 |
| aali83 | Phase, i fixed the problem sudo apt-get -y install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` | 08:34 |
| rigo | the work i do is just boring. i have to work about 10x15seconds a hour you know. | 08:35 |
| itsme20121991 | QUICK QUIZ, What happens when you type { $sudo exit } in terminal . (Don't check it on terminal now, just guess or reply the correct answer) | 08:35 |
| MestreLion | rigo: I suggest 2 approaches: install a VNC client at work, so you can use that protocol instead of rdp | 08:35 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: i mean the filenames | 08:36 |
| OerHeks | itsme20121991, wrong channel for your quiz, take it to #offtopic | 08:36 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: the filenames appear as <some number>. <something> | 08:36 |
| rigo | yes the important thing is that i found out the local admin password for my computer there :)) | 08:36 |
| F-3000 | Could someone help? I ran to this nice problem that desktop's (usb) wlan stopped finding modem once I switched video-card on it. Might anyone have any idea what's causing it, or know how to start troubleshooting what's wrong? Some wlans are listed, but the one that's supposed to be found is not. | 08:36 |
| rigo | which port uses vnc? | 08:36 |
| rigo | cause i found only the port 81 open outher the "common" ports. nothing else.. | 08:37 |
| rsv | let me reboot | 08:37 |
| mah454 | Hello | 08:37 |
| MestreLion | rigo: by default? not sure, but you can ser a vnc server at home in any port | 08:37 |
| mah454 | I need a book about Python And QT Programing . What is your idea ? | 08:37 |
| rigo | gr8 | 08:37 |
| rigo | i just downloaded tightvnc for testing | 08:38 |
| MestreLion | rigo: you can even install it at port 80 if you want to | 08:38 |
| MestreLion | but your home ISP may block it | 08:38 |
| rigo | i dont think they will | 08:39 |
| MestreLion | your work will block most of the upper port, and your isp may block most of the lower ones... so you need to hunt for a port | 08:39 |
| MestreLion | rigo: most cable companies block incoming connections in ports like 80, 23, etc | 08:39 |
| rigo | hm | 08:40 |
| rigo | let's see what happens monday :) | 08:40 |
| MestreLion | precisely to prevent home users to install web servers at home | 08:40 |
| OpenSorce | Did something else replace StartUp-Manager? | 08:40 |
| kernelhacker | MestreLion, i am shocked overseas isp's still do that. | 08:41 |
| kernelhacker | i live australia. our isp's don't block that sort of stuff. | 08:41 |
| rigo | and what about ports 21-22-23? | 08:41 |
| MestreLion | rigo: that's ssh ? i think its open | 08:41 |
| MestreLion | you can check using shields up website | 08:42 |
| kernelhacker | 21=ftp 22=telnet 23=ssh | 08:42 |
| rigo | i know kernelhacker :) | 08:42 |
| kernelhacker | close them if you don't need them open. | 08:42 |
| rigo | i think either, cause i use it since august for accessing my home pc | 08:42 |
| MestreLion | 21 usually closed, telnet and ssh are open here, but i'd never install server there anyway | 08:42 |
| rigo | and remote desktop through ssh tunnel which is REALLY slow. | 08:42 |
| rsv | Jordan_U: WHy doesnt photorec recover the filenames | 08:43 |
| rsv | Is there any tool which does that | 08:43 |
| bekks | rsv: Because the filenames were deleted. | 08:43 |
| bekks | rsv: No. | 08:43 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: well, the rationale is: home internet service is not for servers, because of the increased upload bandwidth. for that, you must pay for an enterprise service, which has fixed ip, etc etc | 08:43 |
| rsv | OKAY | 08:44 |
| kernelhacker | australians are lucky i guess. | 08:44 |
| ari__ | n00b doubt. i got natty narwhal on a sort-of-a-server that i use to torrent and file server. the natty is no longer supported. is it vulnerable? | 08:44 |
| kernelhacker | i didn't realize we were that lucky. | 08:44 |
| bekks | rsv: To be correct: the inode content storing the filename in the directory content was overwritten. | 08:44 |
| kernelhacker | we just pay for whatever bandwidth for the month. they don't care what you use it for. | 08:45 |
| rsv | any ubuntu tool reads the directory blocks and recovers the files along with filenames | 08:45 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: are you sure? try shields p and see if they are really open... https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 | 08:45 |
| bekks | rsv: No. The content storing the filename was overwritten. It does not exist anymore. | 08:46 |
| rsv | bekks: okay | 08:46 |
| kernelhacker | incorrect. if it was overwritten it would not be recovered. | 08:46 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: you pay for bandwidth, but the naked truth is: if all users use all the bandwidth they can, most (or all) ISPs will collapse... | 08:46 |
| rigo | i cant connect to my htpc via vnc tightvnc | 08:46 |
| bekks | kernelhacker: Perfectly correct. The inode storing the NAME was overwritten. | 08:47 |
| bekks | kernelhacker: Thats what happens when deleting a file on ext[2|3|4] filesystem. | 08:47 |
| kernelhacker | :-) | 08:47 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: they offer 5, 10, 50mbps... but they don't except users to actually use that much... actually, they count on it | 08:47 |
| MestreLion | expect* | 08:48 |
| kernelhacker | are you talking about speed of connection or total bandwidth usage? | 08:48 |
| bekks | mbps indicates bandwidth. | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: both. at least in Brazil, there is an upload/download month quota | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | if you pass that, they will limit speed | 08:49 |
| kernelhacker | everyone i know goes over quota every month. i do. | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | to something slow like 1mbps | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | do they charge you after quota? or do they limit speed? | 08:50 |
| kernelhacker | that's right. we get shaped too. but you can still use as much bandwidth quota as you want, regardless of the speed you get shaped to. | 08:50 |
| MestreLion | ok, same here | 08:50 |
| kernelhacker | some shape only. some shape and charge. some charge only. | 08:50 |
| kernelhacker | pay for what you get really. | 08:51 |
| kernelhacker | expensive here in AU though. | 08:51 |
| MestreLion | and your upload limit, both speed and kb, is usually MUCH smaller than download, correct? | 08:51 |
| OerHeks | some should pay extra, for chit-chat in a ubuntu support irc channel. | 08:51 |
| MestreLion | like 10x | 08:51 |
| kernelhacker | that's correct. | 08:51 |
| MestreLion | OerHeks: If anyone asks for support I'll gladly stop chat and help | 08:52 |
| kernelhacker | same here. | 08:52 |
| OerHeks | well, it is channel policy. | 08:52 |
| MestreLion | rigo: don't have to wait till monday... use a service like https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and see which ports are blocked by your ISP | 08:53 |
| trallallero | kkk | 08:53 |
| MestreLion | rigo: even if there are any, i'ts usually just a few... | 08:54 |
| bekks | rigo: Then check wether vnc is running, by using sudo lsof -i | 08:54 |
| kernelhacker | what port does vnc use? | 08:55 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: the default port is irrelevant, since his company's proxy will probably block it | 08:55 |
| kernelhacker | yeah was just curious. | 08:55 |
| kernelhacker | i never use vnc and was wondering. | 08:56 |
| MestreLion | google :P | 08:56 |
| bekks | MestreLion: We dont even know wether he uses a proxy or not. | 08:56 |
| milen8204 | I can not read a cyrillic text they looks like that øà ÿ âåðñèÿ äëÿ ë | 08:56 |
| MestreLion | bekks: he said so. his company has a very restrictive firewall | 08:56 |
| kernelhacker | MestreLion, that requires opening a browser. :-p | 08:56 |
| milen8204 | anyone could help ? | 08:56 |

| Aleksander | Hello. I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 and upgraded the system, and now for some strange reason after I login with LightDM there's no panel in Unity | 08:57 |
| Aleksander | just the desktop | 08:57 |
| lowlifer_ | kernelhacker: i think it's 5900 and 5800 | 08:58 |

| === Youri is now known as Iruoy | ||
| MestreLion | Aleksander: before you login, have you checked the default login session is Ubuntu and not something else? | 08:58 |
| kernelhacker | lowlifer_, thanks. odd ports. | 08:58 |
| mifritscher | how can i disable the automatic shutdown if "overhotting"? Ive the problem that the sensor goes straight from 50 to 127C sometimes, while the other sensors stay ok (its a thinkpad which have many sensors) - so I think that the sensor is defect | 08:58 |
| milen8204 | MestreLion, sorry I forgot to say in libreoffice and text editor | 08:59 |
| Aleksander | MestreLion, yes | 08:59 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, F2 doesn't work | 08:59 |
| Aleksander | damn, 12.10 is the most broken distro I've ever seen. | 08:59 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, no f2? | 08:59 |
| kernelhacker | odd | 08:59 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: don't say so before you try mint cinnamon with an ati 7xxx card :P | 09:00 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I know. I have reinstalled ubuntu, because previous one went mad after installing nvidia drivers on an nvidia optimus card | 09:00 |
| Aleksander | I couldn't undo that | 09:00 |
| Aleksander | even after manually switching to intel, Unity and gnome-shell didn't even start. | 09:00 |
| kernelhacker | should start at least. | 09:01 |
| Aleksander | doesn't. | 09:01 |
| Aleksander | I'm going to run "Linux for physicists" course on my university and I was told to teach them Ubuntu | 09:01 |
| MestreLion | milen8204: not sure about libreoffice, but in text editor (gedit) you can change the character encoding when you open a file... have you tried it? | 09:02 |
| Aleksander | and I'm getting more and more irritated at this distro | 09:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | Aleksander, debian'd also have the same issues. Did you consider installing Ubuntu in a VM so as not to run into a lot of the issues you may see when installing direct to your hardware? | 09:02 |
| kernelhacker | see, i run command line only. don't even have gui. so i have no such issues. | 09:02 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: does it work fine with 12.04 ? | 09:02 |
| milen8204 | MestreLion, i thick the encoding is the problem but how to change it? | 09:02 |
| OerHeks | Aleksander, i think you need #bumblebee for your optimus >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 09:03 |
| Aleksander | MestreLion, I will be checking in a moment | 09:03 |
| Aleksander | OerHeks, I know, thank you | 09:03 |
| MestreLion | milen8204: not sure about libreoffice, but in text editor (gedit) you can change the character encoding when you open a file... theres a "Character Encoding" button in the Open dialog, have you tried it? | 09:03 |
| MestreLion | kernelhacker: you don't a gui for googling about vnc ports :P | 09:04 |
| kernelhacker | i don't reckon it's a driver issue, because unity just wouldn't start. i don't even think you'd get to desktop. | 09:04 |
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||
| milen8204 | MestreLion, thanks will try | 09:04 |
| kernelhacker | MestreLion, not on ubuntu system no. other systems, yes. | 09:04 |
| lowlifer_ | kernelhacker, how do u use it without gui? | 09:04 |
| kernelhacker | primary desktop is debian. ubuntu is run in vm. | 09:05 |
| kernelhacker | debian is MATE. | 09:05 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, is MATE really different from XFCE? I know it's basically GNOME2, but they're almost identical for me | 09:05 |
| MestreLion | is mate easy to install in debian and/or ubuntu? i've never tried it outside mint | 09:05 |
| kernelhacker | well, yes using mint debian. | 09:06 |
| kernelhacker | pre-installed. | 09:06 |
| kernelhacker | correct, MATE looks (and is) GNOME2 | 09:06 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: that depends on how identical you consider xfce and gnome2 are | 09:07 |
| kernelhacker | nothing like xfce. | 09:07 |
| milen8204 | MestreLion, it works i didnt have any cyrillic encoding :D | 09:07 |
| milen8204 | thanks a lot | 09:07 |
| MestreLion | you're welcome :) | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: there is a PPA, Mate is not supported here though | 09:07 |
| MestreLion | milen8204: but, really... you should use unicode documents instead of depending on codepages | 09:08 |
| milen8204 | i had downloaded the document :D | 09:09 |
| MestreLion | oh | 09:09 |
| === Logan_ is now known as Guest38655 | ||
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||
| MestreLion | wow, is anyone out there still publishing non-UTF-8 docs? | 09:09 |
| bekks | Sure. | 09:09 |
| Aleksander | how can I dpkg-reconfigure unity? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: what do you want to achieve? | 09:10 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: that would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity, but i doubt it will fix your issue | 09:11 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, I see that no matter what account I log in to, there're no panels in unity | 09:11 |
| Aleksander | so it's not based on individual .configs | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: which release are you using? | 09:11 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: before you login, have you checked the default login session is Ubuntu and not something else? | 09:11 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, 12.10 | 09:11 |
| Aleksander | MestreLion, YES. | 09:11 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, is this a fresh install or upgrade? | 09:11 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, fresh install | 09:12 |
| Aleksander | done yesterday and fully upgraded | 09:12 |
| kernelhacker | what graphics you using? | 09:12 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, Nvidia 540GT, but it worked yesterday, before the upgrade | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: have you installed the nvidia driver? | 09:13 |
| kernelhacker | ^^ | 09:13 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, no. | 09:13 |
| kernelhacker | install it. | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 09:13 |
| throwed54 | Bed real soon | 09:14 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, I did this on my previous installation | 09:14 |
| Aleksander | and it broke the system so bad I couldn't repair | 09:14 |
| kernelhacker | what result? | 09:14 |
| meowmeow | hello | 09:14 |
| kernelhacker | hello meowmeow | 09:14 |
| blackshirt | hello meowmeow | 09:14 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I couldn't start glx | 09:14 |
| Aleksander | even on intel | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | my resolution is stuck at 640x and I am scared to change my xorg.conf manually | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | how2 screen resolution GUI | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | ? | 09:15 |
| kernelhacker | type "fglrx info" in terminal. | 09:15 |
| ArchOpenBox | xrandr | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | in display the only res in the dropdown is 640 | 09:15 |
| _Desu_ | xrandr | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: what video chip are you using? | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: something from the dark ages | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | my friend | 09:15 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, do you get 3D render=yes? | 09:15 |
| meowmeow | i used to have a 256mb ATI 9800 XT pro (also frm the dark ages) | 09:16 |
| meowmeow | but the fan stopped working | 09:16 |
| meowmeow | on that | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: I have older | 09:16 |
| meowmeow | thanks for the quick reply dudes/dudettes | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga what is output? | 09:16 |
| kernelhacker | i use old radeon x1050. | 09:16 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I don't have fglrx, isn't it ATI? | 09:16 |
| kernelhacker | runs perfect! | 09:16 |
| _Desu_ | aye it is ATI | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3) | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | so | 09:17 |
| kernelhacker | really, i thought it was all systems. bugger me. | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | how do I add a maximum | 09:17 |
| _Desu_ | just use xrandr to change resolution | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | of 1024x768 | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | for instance | 09:17 |
| FloodBot1 | meowmeow: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:17 |
| _Desu_ | xrandr -s <size> | 09:17 |
| Aleksander | and afaik you need X server running to get glxinfo | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: will you please quit hitting ENTER after every other word | 09:17 |
| meowmeow | SORRY | 09:17 |
| _Desu_ | xrandr -s 1024x768 | 09:17 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, you don't have X server? | 09:17 |
| MestreLion | meowmeow: the once-venerable mx 440 is far from being dark age at all :) | 09:17 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I have broken X server | 09:18 |
| Aleksander | I have only Unity installed and it pretty much doesn't work | 09:18 |
| meowmeow | MestreLion: yes it does serve me well even now | 09:18 |
| kernelhacker | broken, how? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please | 09:18 |
| Aleksander | I can't even start the terminal in Xes | 09:18 |
| Aleksander | there are no panels and F2 doest work | 09:18 |
| meowmeow | oneiric | 09:18 |
| ArchOpenBox | tty | 09:18 |
| kernelhacker | switch to terminal system. ctrl+alt+f3 and then install the nvidia drivers and then reboot. | 09:19 |
| _Desu_ | use a tty? | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: still supported with 6 months support left. | 09:19 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I told you that it breaks my system even more. | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: did you say you have an xorg.conf file in place? | 09:19 |
| meowmeow | lol i believe so | 09:19 |
| meowmeow | I'm not really sure where unity started TBH | 09:19 |
| MestreLion | Aleksander: more than not having panel and launcher? | 09:19 |
| meowmeow | xrandr -s 1024x768 | 09:19 |
| meowmeow | Size 1024x768 not found in available modes | 09:19 |
| meowmeow | i'm just trying to get my 1024 back :S | 09:19 |
| kernelhacker | MestreLion, it seems so... | 09:20 |
| MestreLion | meowmeow: you must first create a modeline | 09:20 |
| meowmeow | MestreLion: that's what I thought | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: if you run: file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does it say that the file doesn't exist? | 09:20 |
| Aleksander | MestreLion, I told you a moment before: it switches the resolution to 800x600 and prevents intel from loading | 09:20 |
| Aleksander | even after I X-configure and delete nvidia drivers | 09:20 |
| kernelhacker | what do you mean prevents intel from loading? | 09:20 |
| kernelhacker | you said you are using nvidia? | 09:20 |
| food | OerHeks, pass 1, no errors | 09:20 |
| bekks | Aleksander: The framebuffer resolution is irrelevant for the graphics module to be loaded. | 09:21 |
| kernelhacker | can't use both. | 09:21 |
| meowmeow | do I add modeline in the Screen section? | 09:21 |
| bekks | Aleksander: Do you have a Nvidia Optimus chipset? | 09:22 |
| bekks | Aleksander: If so, you have to decide which chipset you want to use. | 09:22 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: file /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:22 |
| meowmeow | /etc/X11/xorg.conf: ASCII text | 09:22 |
| Aleksander | bekks, I know and I can't because there's no such option in my bios | 09:22 |
| meowmeow | what is the syntax for adding a 1024x768 modeline and where do I put it? | 09:22 |
| bekks | Aleksander: The BIOS doesnt matter at that point. | 09:23 |
| bekks | Aleksander: In your case, you have to decide using bumblebee | 09:23 |
| Aleksander | bekks, so I need Bumblebee, I know. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: ok if you run: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and visit http://pastie.org you can pastebin the text and we can see the file. When the page changes, copy the address bar and paste it in here please | 09:23 |
| bekks | Aleksander: Then why dont you use it? | 09:23 |
| Aleksander | where is damned xorg.conf in the 12.10?! I can't check what driver I'm using right now | 09:23 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: great | 09:23 |
| davidmz | I am not an linux expert, I want to have rsyslog report to a bash script I consolted the website of rsyslog and here is my /etc/rsyslog.conf and the bash script http://pastebin.com/69D8kfVw , I can't get this to work, the test.out file is not getting written, I feel like this is a permissions issue or something that I have missed been new to linux, how to make it work? | 09:23 |
| jpds | Aleksander: Create it. | 09:23 |
| bekks | Aleksander: There is NO default xorg.conf since ages. If you need it, create it. | 09:23 |
| Aleksander | bekks, because I want to start the system FIRST, and Unity worked | 09:23 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/5175840 | 09:23 |
| Aleksander | bekks, jpds I want to know what graphic driver is being used right now | 09:24 |
| Aleksander | how to do that? | 09:24 |
| bekks | Aleksander: lsmod is sufficient to check which module is loaded. | 09:24 |
| jpds | Aleksander: lspci -vvnn | 09:24 |
| jpds | Aleksander: And look for your card. | 09:24 |
| bekks | lspci -k | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: Ubuntu hasn't shipped with one for a few releases now but if one is present, it will be obeyed. | 09:24 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: how does it look | 09:25 |
| Aleksander | why can't Ubuntu use KISS, like Arch does? >.< | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: I don't believe your chip is supported by the nvidia driver. If you run nvidia-settings do you get a warning dialogue or does it run as expected? | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: it does | 09:25 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: is there a way to try and force 1024?? | 09:25 |
| Aleksander | ActionParsnip, I can't run nvidia-settings, I can't start any graphical DE | 09:25 |
| bekks | Aleksander: Because Archlinux is offtopic in here. ;) And an existing default xorg.conf is a perfect since of a prehistoric OS design. | 09:26 |
| liujianfeng | hello,world! | 09:26 |
| bekks | Aleksander: Because you are using intel, and the nvidia driver isnt used at the moment. Thats why you have to use bumblebee. | 09:26 |
| bekks | s/since/sign/g | 09:26 |
| kernelhacker | liujianfeng, hello | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: If you run nvidia-settings do you get a warning dialogue or does it run as expected? | 09:26 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: | 09:27 |
| jpds | Aleksander: xorg.confs are a thing of the past. :P | 09:27 |
| meowmeow | runs fine | 09:27 |
| liujianfeng | kernelhacker,nice name | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: ok, what driver version does it say you are running? | 09:27 |
| meowmeow | just same thing as Display, there's no option to change my resolution | 09:27 |
| Aleksander | jpds, as are grub's menu.lst, and working Ubuntu releases. | 09:27 |
| aguadito | romney peaked mid-october and has been down-hill ever since | 09:27 |
| meowmeow | 96.43.20 | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: ahhh makes sense. let me see | 09:27 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, i actually believe 12.10 to be the best release in years, | 09:27 |
| kernelhacker | . | 09:28 |
| prgmmer | I had a partial upgrade issue and running 'apt-get -f install' results in dependency issues with libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386 and libc6-i386. I am using a 64-bit system. Can anybody help me fix this so I can install and remove packages again? | 09:28 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, any reasons? | 09:28 |
| jpds | Aleksander: Yeah, thank goodness for GRUB2. | 09:28 |
| bekks | Aleksander: there is no menu.lst in grub2 anymore... | 09:28 |
| liujianfeng | I am still using 12.04 | 09:28 |
| Aleksander | bekks, that's what I said. | 09:28 |
| jpds | Aleksander: It seems that you just don't like change. | 09:28 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: what's the good word amigo | 09:29 |
| liujianfeng | yes,tired of changing | 09:29 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, absolutely no issues for me. previous few releases i've had dramas. but not yet in 12.10. | 09:29 |
| Aleksander | ow, I see what caused the problem. | 09:29 |
| Aleksander | I've removed webapps | 09:29 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, best release since 8.10. | 09:29 |
| Aleksander | and the unity won't work without them. | 09:29 |
| Aleksander | I love how all ubuntus are dependency hells | 09:30 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, what? | 09:30 |
| bekks | Unity works perfectly without webapps. | 09:30 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, unity is dependant on webapps | 09:30 |
| bekks | It isnt. Thats just a lie. | 09:30 |
| kernelhacker | and you removed it? | 09:30 |
| Aleksander | yes, and it's just now I see that it was a dependency | 09:30 |
| bekks | I dont have any webapps installed, and my Unity works fine - on several computers. | 09:31 |
| prgmmer | Hi. Can anyone help me with the libc6 unmet dependencies issues? apt-get -f install does does not seem to work | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it to this: http://pastie.org/5175865 | 09:31 |
| Aleksander | bekks, you still have the package | 09:31 |
| bekks | Webapps depend on Unity, not vice versa... | 09:31 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: cheers | 09:31 |
| bekks | I do not have that package. | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: note the new subsection, that's all I added | 09:31 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, just try reinstalling webapps. i can't see it being the issue. | 09:31 |
| billy- | how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop? | 09:31 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: need I reboot? | 09:31 |
| liujianfeng | dash | 09:31 |
| OpenSorce | Can one of you guys make that bot point me to how I change the loading screen (the right after the grub menu) in 12.04? | 09:31 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, I did and it WAS the issue | 09:31 |
| Aleksander | it's working all right now | 09:32 |
| kernelhacker | that's great then. | 09:32 |
| billy- | liujianfeng: did you answer to me? | 09:32 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: or can i log out? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: if you get no desktop on reboot, hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root and you can edit the file in CLI using nano/vi etc and reboot by running: reboot | 09:32 |
| kernelhacker | awesome you got it sorted. | 09:32 |
| Aleksander | it isn't great, Ubuntu's a frickin' dependency hell. | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: I'djust reboot | 09:32 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: great | 09:32 |
| jpds | Aleksander: Which package was it? | 09:32 |
| kernelhacker | Aleksander, all distros can be like that. | 09:32 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, arch isn't. | 09:32 |
| billy- | how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop? I can't find the terminal.... there is no icon for it on the left and no results on search, please help me | 09:32 |
| kernelhacker | nature of liux eco-system. | 09:32 |
| kernelhacker | linux | 09:33 |
| Aleksander | jpds, unity-webapps-service | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | prgmmer: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get -f install | 09:33 |
| ArchOpenBox | Aleksander: Come off this idea. Ubuntu has the most packages to its package manager. | 09:33 |
| kernelhacker | use arch then. | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Aleksander: any package based distro can get tangled like that | 09:33 |
| kernelhacker | <shrugs> | 09:33 |
| bekks | Aleksander: Arch is even worse, because in Arch no one even checks those dependencies. But thats offtopic. | 09:33 |
| Aleksander | bekks, I know, I tried installing it yesterday xD | 09:33 |
| Aleksander | It installed a base system without dependencies | 09:33 |
| kernelhacker | haha, i installed arch this evening actually. | 09:33 |
| prgmmer | ActionParsnip: sure give me a second, running it again | 09:33 |
| kernelhacker | base is fine. | 09:34 |
| liujianfeng | arch is a little bit difficult for me | 09:34 |
| billy- | how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop? I can't find the terminal.... there is no icon for it on the left and no results on search, please help me | 09:34 |
| Aleksander | kernelhacker, it installs wifi-menu, but no dialog or wpa_supplicant | 09:34 |
| Aleksander | billy-, what livecd are you using? | 09:34 |
| Aleksander | 12.10? | 09:34 |
| bekks | billy-: Type "Terminal" in the search field. | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kernelhacker: gentoo is a little easier to dig out of imho as emerge can install whatever you want, as long as files are in the right place things work :) | 09:34 |
| kernelhacker | liujianfeng, it's source based. very different from what you'd be used to with ubuntu. | 09:35 |
| liujianfeng | some people get stuck in the rooling update | 09:35 |
| billy- | I downloaded it yesterday | 09:35 |
| kernelhacker | ubuntu is binary based. | 09:35 |
| ArchOpenBox | bekks: what pls another lie both of you need to get lost with these ideas. Ubuntu dependency hell a lie. Arch no one checks packages a lie. AUR packages... wow both of you are fan boys. I run both and no issues with either. | 09:35 |
| billy- | bekks: no results found | 09:35 |
| OerHeks | billy-, press ctrl+ alt + T | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | billy-: press CTRL+ALT+T | 09:35 |
| billy- | OerHeks: I will try thx | 09:35 |
| bekks | kernelhacker: Arch is a binary distro as well. It isnt source based. | 09:35 |
| kernelhacker | ArchOpenBox, get over it dude. | 09:35 |
| OpenSorce | Can one of you guys make that bot point me to how I change the loading screen (the right after the grub menu) in 12.04? | 09:35 |
| ArchOpenBox | fan boys stop the lies | 09:35 |
| Aleksander | okay, gtg | 09:36 |
| OpenSorce | Or is it not an easy thing to do? | 09:36 |
| Aleksander | read you later | 09:36 |
| bekks | ArchOpenBox: I used arch for a long time by myself. I know why I dont use it anymore, and I know I am right. Believe it or not. And please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic now. | 09:36 |
| kernelhacker | arch is source based, am i wrong? | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ArchOpenBox: I can give you a million links from launchpad with people in dep hell after adding PPAs and so forth | 09:36 |
| bekks | kernelhacker: You are wrong. | 09:36 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: no luck | 09:36 |
| kernelhacker | bekks, thanks. | 09:36 |
| meowmeow | i am trying to add a 1024x768 to my Display resolutions | 09:37 |
| meowmeow | any ideas? | 09:37 |

| ArchOpenBox | ActionParsnip: I don't have any of these problems I find hardware that is middle of the road and my systems work every time. Don't need a website been through the problems of having wifi cards and graphics card that I had to wait 6 months before a drive was available. | 09:38 |

| ArchOpenBox | ActionParsnip: I distro Jump so hit snags all the time the last snag I hit in ubuntu was the 9.10 when they changed Amorka and I started using Song bird. Nothing hard to Google search for a solution. Just be patient | 09:39 |
| kernelhacker | ArchOpenBox, why distro hop so much? | 09:40 |
| food | ActionParsnip, I don't know but many users affected with this issue perhaps who are using modern Laptop | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmeow: you need to fight the xorg.conf file, there are examples online you can use and you can throw stuff in the file to see if it flys | 09:40 |
| bekks | ArchOpenBox: 9.10 is gone for three years, and the application called "Amarok" was changed by the KDE upstream, not by Ubuntu. | 09:40 |
| meowmeow | ActionParsnip: okay | 09:40 |
| kernelhacker | bekks, not gone. just unsupported. ;-) | 09:41 |
| bekks | kernelhacker: ;) | 09:41 |

| billy- | when I click on the HOME FOLDER I can see the harddisk I've attacked: "/export/hda3", but in the terminal I don't have this path, I don't have /export directory at all | 10:00 |
| bekks | prgmmer: I'd create a backup, format/repartition the whole thing, reinstall Ubuntu, and use a separate /home partition. | 10:00 |
| prgmmer | bekks: Are there any other directories in addition to /home that would make sense to make into separate partitions to accommodate clean-installs of Ubuntu every so often. This happens to me every few years. | 10:01 |

| savio | when we create separate partition for /home directory is it possible to use that same partition while reinstalling ubuntu without losing data | 10:09 |
| chakka | i have installed ubuntu recently on my laptop ,but i am not getting any network, both wired and wireless .i am new to ubuntu ,please help | 10:10 |
| belias | hello guys. need help with ubuntu relationship.. when i reboot my pc ubuntu automatically starts all programs which was ON when pc reboot | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | savio: yes you can keep your existing /home/ partion and its data safe. You do need to rember to add the users back in the same order. or else your uids can getmessed up | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | belias: which desktop are you using? | 10:11 |
| belias | dr_willis: ubuntu 10.10 | 10:12 |
| savio | dr_willis, you are suggesting that order of adding user must be same | 10:12 |
| savio | dr_willis, will encrypted home partition also work? | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | savio: i always add them in the same order. or else the uids may not match up. but i only have 3 users. | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | I dont use encrypted homes.. so no idea on those. | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | !sessions | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | !session | 10:13 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

| dr_willis | belias: there used to be a session manager/save session option. but ive not seen it or used it in ages. | 10:13 |
| palasso | Which is more stable? An LTS release with backports and PPAs in order to have some standalone apps updated or the latest regular release? | 10:14 |
| belias | dr_willis: sry... i have xfce4 desktop... on gnome its working.. but xfce saved session on every reboot | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | palasso: i imagine it depends on the exact apps./ | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | belias: check the xfce session settings I guess. i never use xfce. | 10:14 |
| wols | palasso: if you don't want to do things like using gnome from backports, the LTS should be more stable | 10:15 |
| chakka | i have installed ubuntu recently on my laptop ,but i am not getting any network, both wired and wireless .i am new to ubuntu ,please some one help | 10:15 |
| wols | chakka: lspci -nn |grep -i net | 10:15 |
| belias | dr_willis: i think i've got it :) thx :) | 10:16 |
| palasso | I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and thinking to stay on this release because it's LTS and it's supposed to be more stable. But I'd like to have updated apps (not core gnome apps) so I was thinking to use backports or PPAs. The other option would be to install the last regular release. | 10:16 |
| wols | chakka: that will give you PCI IDs of the form 168c:001a which tells you what actual hardware you have | 10:16 |
| wols | palasso: which update apps? | 10:16 |
| chakka | cannot access pci | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | stable is a somewhat .. well vague term. ;) the core of the os. the kernel and so forth should be very stable. but its always the little things like video drivers and some apps that seem to make things unstable for me. even then i find 12.10 very stable here. | 10:17 |
| chakka | no such file or directory | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | chakka: it was lspci not ls pci | 10:17 |

| dr_willis | eth0 is the DEVICE in that line.... | 10:23 |

| dr_willis | that seperates the various devices. | 10:25 |
| chakka | and 5 other results | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | if you only have info on an lo device. then your wired card dose not seem to be recognized, or have its modules loaded. | 10:26 |

| ecataranciuc | Aerosonic: You are welcome! ;-) | 10:54 |
| Aerosonic | Oh god. Incoming question. "Is it like DOS?" | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | chakka: because theres a lot of other packages you need to install inorder to compile stuff.. i would suggest trying the devices on a 12.10 live cd. if it works in 12.10 then that will save you several hours of time and effort. | 10:54 |
| Aerosonic | It's not quite like DOS. | 10:54 |

| dr_willis | chakka: from windows? theres dozens of programs to do it. you need a cd image burner app. or use a flash drive to put it on usb with one of the tools from the pendrivelinux web site. | 11:00 |
| desu | Try debian or linux mint maybe? and then go complain on their ircs | 11:00 |

| ActionParsnip | savio: but I have a separate /home partition | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | i have filled up 10gb / - but that was due to temp space for making dvd videos. ;) | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | JasonC_: how is wine a factor here? | 11:01 |
| ubuntuaddicted | need help with pulseaudio, sick of seeing these errors. | 11:01 |
| Archaical | 30gb is pretty fair size for simply usage. (not storing dvd's and porn etc.) | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* | 11:01 |
| JasonC_ | @actionparsnip to install winodws 8 via microsoft, you need to install software called uprage asisstant | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntuaddicted,what errors? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | JasonC_: then you need to boot to the install CD and install it there. You don't run the CD in Ubuntu | 11:02 |
| JasonC_ | whats the install cd? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | JasonC_: the install CD of Windows 8 | 11:03 |
| JasonC_ | so i have to buy it from a shop to get the dvd, but my computer doesnt have a cd drive :P, can i somehow put it on a usb? | 11:04 |

| jrib | guang_: there are web browsers for the terminal: w3m, links2, elinks, lynx, probably more... | 11:06 |
| robbie | pulseaudio does not start on boot, and even if I start it it doesnt seem to do anything | 11:06 |

| guang_ | jrib:but it can not deal with image well | 11:07 |
| jrib | guang_: sure | 11:07 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BluesKaj, the thing is I only have a 2 speaker setup with a bass speaker as well so I don't need 5.1 surround. how do I get error to stop so it doesn't fill my syslog repeatedly | 11:07 |
| jrib | guang_: I think one of them can use framebuffer, I don't remember | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | JasonC_: no idea, I'd ask in ##windows | 11:08 |

| crusie | hey- wanna try out ubuntu - got 16 gb of ram in my machine - I'm planning in installing xen on it and running windows 7x64 on top of that - should I choose 32 or 64 bit? | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | crusie: 64 | 11:11 |
| crusie | there should be no issues with programs not working or being unstable cfhowlett ?` | 11:11 |
| mrgreeen | c'è qualcuno? | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | i cant think of any issues with 64bit.. been using it for ages. | 11:11 |
| cfhowlett | crusie: 64 is optimized for ram of > 4 gigs. | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | can xen on 16bit even run a 64bit os? | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | oops on 32bit.. ;P | 11:12 |
| crusie | dr_willis: it says so on the website | 11:12 |
| jrib | RajeevGEC: it should be possibel, but I don't know the best way | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: that'd be genius, 16bit desktop PC | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntuaddicted, open a terminal and run , ps aux | grep pulseaudio ..we need to know if pulse is running | 11:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ActionParsnip, what would removing my entire .pulse folder do to my setup? | 11:13 |
| RajeevGEC | ok....google dint help me much...thanks anyway :) | 11:13 |
| crusie | cfhowlett: I know that - I just wonder why the 32 bit version is recommended on the ubuntu website | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | crusie: idiot proofing.. | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | crusie: if you have no idea what your bittness is.... they suggest 32.. | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuaddicted: the pulseaudio service is configure to auto-restart, it will make default config folders. You need to kill the process off to free up the data so it can be removed | 11:14 |
| jrib | RajeevGEC: I would look into loadkeys, dumpkeycodes, and setkeycodes as a starting point | 11:14 |
| crusie | dr_willis: ah ofc... I'm just guessing that people that wanna install an alternative os knows these things about their pc | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | crusie: it runs on all desktop CPUs as a 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS. | 11:14 |
| jrib | RajeevGEC: if it's ok to just ignore it in X, then something like xmodmap might be easier | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | crusie: the eternal question. Developers and bearded linux gurus can explain better than I ca n | 11:15 |

| Jake-- | if I change my.cnf conf to "bind-address xx.xx.xx.xx", and use netstat to see what it actually listens to, its 127.0.0.1 | 11:22 |
| Tanvir | dr_jesus_, I created a recovery disk using Dell Smart Backup tool. Would that be enough to boot Windows next time after installing Ubuntu for a dual boot? | 11:22 |

| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, is skip-networking active? | 11:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, you have to comment out the skip-networking directive | 11:22 |
| Jake-- | TheLordOfTime, that I have to check | 11:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | feel free to. | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | Tanvir: you mean to reinstall windows? it should. but i tend to always test those disks out. some times they do annoying things when they restore your system | 11:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | that's likely the issue | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | Tanvir: normaly ubuntu install should set up dual booting. | 11:23 |
| robbie | dr_willis: that was it :) thanks | 11:23 |
| Jake-- | TheLordOfTime skip-external-locking, might that be the setting? | 11:23 |
| Tanvir | dr_willis, how can I check? By doing a recovery for testing? | 11:23 |
| robbie | dr_willis: crazy I have to do that | 11:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, nope, skip-networking | 11:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, skip-network or similar (it'll say network somewhere) is how they do it, last i checked the package anyways | 11:24 |

| TheLordOfTime | *checks* | 11:25 |
| onefang | G'day. | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | Tanvir: my normal practice with a 'new' laptop is i always buy a 2nd hard drive for it. (a ssd these days) then i make the recovery set. swap out the hd. Keep the original SAFE. then try the restore set to be sure it works.. then put linux onit. | 11:25 |
| Jake-- | TheLordOfTime oh I found it now, appears that in my version of mysql the skip-networking is off by default and replaced to "listen only on localhost", but I believe "bind-address = 85.25.117.209" negates it, correct? | 11:25 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, that should be the case, did you restart MySQL after changing the bind-address ? | 11:25 |
| Jake-- | I did | 11:26 |
| TheLordOfTime | and no dice? | 11:26 |
| Jake-- | no dice, nope | 11:27 |
| jrib | Jake--: you did restart mysql, right? | 11:27 |
| TheLordOfTime | jrib, i just asked him that | 11:27 |
| Tanvir | dr_willis, my problem is I cannot do that in an external HD, I do it in DVDs. | 11:28 |
| Jake-- | Why I'm doing this is so I could connect to my DB from my desktop, instead of having to connect to the server first, and from there to localhost | 11:28 |
| Tanvir | dr_willis, I just made the recovery disk in 2 DVDs. | 11:28 |
| mN- | how do I get my nicklist back in quassel irc :D i just removed it by mouse and it vanished! | 11:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, you just want to be able to remotely access your MySQL from your local network? | 11:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | Jake--, or are you trying to access it from some other location? | 11:28 |
| onefang | I've just updated to 12.04, and there's a couple of annoyances I have not been able to figure out. One is that pppd starts up twice on boot.

I can't find where it starts them up. | 11:29 |

| koinandable | so, i find it ridiculous that i have to ask this question but is there a working way to play an audio cd with ubuntu? rhythmbox plays it with totally distorted sound, amarok plays mp3 from hdd but not the cd tracks in the same playlist and qmmp doesnt find tracks when i try to open /media/cdrom. this is so shitty i dont have words for it. seems like ubuntu developers are workinghard to make everything worse than it was so | 11:40 |
| koinandable | me time ago?! | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bencc1: ahhh if its 12.10 then it will be. I'd use something light like Xubuntu or Lubuntu to give a snappier OS | 11:40 |
| blackshirt | bencc1, you can change your desktop if you not like unity | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | koinandable: tried VLC? | 11:40 |
| koinandable | not yet ... trying | 11:41 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BluesKaj, it has to be some config file somewhere telling it to try to active surround5.1 | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | koinandable: you would play /dev/cdrom not /media/cdrom you dont mount audio cds | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | koinandable: media -> open disk (Shortcut CTRL+D) | 11:41 |
| bencc1 | blackshirt: yes, I'll use gnome-session-fallback which looks like old ubuntu | 11:41 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BluesKaj, and front:0 | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | koinandable: and ive had some players give me staticky or other sound issues with the default sound output. i had to switch them to use alsa in their settings. | 11:41 |
| blackshirt | bencc1 unity relies on a lot of compiz efects, i think ... | 11:42 |
| demez | hi | 11:43 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntuaddicted, do you have an ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.cong file ? | 11:43 |

| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: a few | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | demez: depends on taste | 11:44 |
| savio | is there any way so i can move my /home to another partition without formatting ubuntu | 11:44 |

| dr_willis | gnome-shell uses mutter i belive. unity uses compiz | 11:45 |
| onefang | brian6685: Always best to install Windows first so it wont do that. Try booting off a Ubuntu CD and using the rescue, or just reinstall it. | 11:45 |

| BluesKaj | ubunu my suggestion is to remove pulseaudio so we make sure alsa is working , most setups can run without pulseaudio for music etc that's on the HDD , for web audio most pcs require pulse | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | robbie: if you close the sound app and run: killall pulseaudio then wait a little while, do you see devices listed? | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntuaddicted,^ | 11:49 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: if you read that file I sent you'll see that pulseaudio doesnt load at boot | 11:49 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: Im sorry -- its just, that is exactly what I did before coming here | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | if you run: ps -ef | grep pulse is it running? | 11:50 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: and if I service start it, it says it is running from service but pulse volume control cant connect to it | 11:50 |
| ubuntuaddicted | BluesKaj, sorry, gotta go. thanks for trying to help | 11:51 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: sudo service pulseaudio status is not running | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntuaddicted, did you see my last post ..keep it in mind | 11:51 |
| robbie | see the section "!!Sound Servers on this system" -- its installed its just not running | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | robbie: have you tried: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install pulseaudio | 11:52 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: no I havent .. let me try not getting the dev version and just forcing the reinstall though | 11:53 |
| robbie | maybe that is it | 11:53 |

| koinandable | ok, tried to play the cd with vlc -> plays with distorted sound, switched to ALSA, still distorted, yesterday i ripped an audio cd bc of this mess and could play the ripped tracks without issues ... on one cd the fiirst track is distorted, the others can be played, it's a new drive and original audio cd's. what can i try now? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | robbie: my sound troubleshooting isn't great to be honest, I can do basic stuff but I've never had a sound issue personally so all I can do is search the web. Maybe others can advise | 11:55 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: this is because I had to upgrade my system from the DVD and now a couple issues remain | 11:56 |
| robbie | ActionParsnip: almost everyhting else Ive worked out | 11:56 |

| dr_willis | why would you be using 11.10? | 12:39 |
| fabrydrunk | is it necessary to pass to 12.10 to have the latest firefox? | 12:39 |
| chrislamp | hello geeks!! | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | be a lot easier to stay updated if you used 12.10 or 12.04 | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | 11.10 will be EOL in april of 2013 i belive. | 12:40 |
| chrislamp | what is the different between LTS 12.04.1 and 12.04 ? | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | .1 has updates included in the iso | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | so when in doubt get the .1 or .2 or whatever | 12:41 |
| philinux | dr_willis: package info from oneiric says (firefox 16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1) [security] | 12:41 |
| philinux | maybe he just needs to update the system | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | philinux: or perhaps thats from the security repo. not the ppa hes trying to use. :) i dont keep up with the old releases. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | for a new install.. i dont see the point in using 11.10 at all. | 12:42 |
| chrislamp | thanks willis!! | 12:42 |
| fabrydrunk | ok I'll accept your suggest to upgrade to 12.04 | 12:43 |
| chrislamp | i want to install 12.04 but i wonder if has the new features of 12.10 | 12:43 |
| fabrydrunk | I hope to find more recent packages | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | or 12.10 fabrydrunk if 'recent' is imporntant to you | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 here has 16.0.2 for firefox from its about box... | 12:44 |
| fabrydrunk | mmm I just need recent packages, not recent OS | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | if the system is new. id say go with a clean install. | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | fabrydrunk: ubuntu dosent really work that way.. it follows a 6mo release cycle where everything gets updated then.. | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | in btween releaes theres just a few updates to package versions. but i think firefox is one of the main exceptions that trys to stay updated | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | fabrydrunk: how recent is recent? | 12:45 |
| fabrydrunk | and what about lts versions? 12.04 is an lts. it should be supported for more months | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | upgradeing from 11.x to whatever will most likely take longer then a clean install would. | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | !lts | 12:46 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | if lts is imporntant to you (its not to me) then go with 12.04 | 12:46 |

| dr_willis | Not everything gets updated constantly in ubuntu. thats why we have ppa's and backports. | 12:47 |
| tsuru`` | anyone know a solution? | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | i think the browser (firefox) and a few other packages are the main exceptions - they try to stay updated. | 12:48 |
| philinux | fabrydrunk: try using update manager and see if firefox gets updated | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | tsuru``: sounds like your sources.list has something a bit wrong with it | 12:48 |
| philinux | you can still have a play with 11.10 | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | tsuru``: can you pastebin the output? | 12:48 |
| tsuru`` | gordonjcp: yeah I've tried looking but what I've narrowed it down to is in /var/lib/apt/lists/ I was told to delete *Packages and *Sources in the apt-cacher-ng install... I did... but they keep coming back. | 12:49 |
| fabrydrunk | dr_willis in fact I'm just helping a friend who installed ubuntu yesterday. I left Ubuntu a year ago and passed to Archlinux, it's my favourite distro, and I don't have problems like these | 12:49 |

| dr_willis | fabrydrunk: ubuntu is not a rolling release disrto. arch basically is.. its a core differance. | 12:49 |
| fabrydrunk | dr_willis but i didn't know that in ubuntu "more recent distro version" means "more recent packages version". I thought that repositories were the same for each version, was I wrong? | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | fabrydrunk: things only get updated at each new release basically. | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | every 6 mo. new release. with all packages updated.. | 12:52 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | hi, what is the package name for unistd please as while trying to compile my c++ program it says no such file or directory ? (i am using Ubuntu 12.10 ) | 12:52 |
| screwsss | hey everyone | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | is there a trigger for supported wifi adapters on ubuntu? | 12:53 |
| screwsss | if a driver is taking too long to instal does that mean my hardware is old | 12:53 |
| gordonjcp | screwsss: not necessarily, but most things shouldn't need additional drivers | 12:54 |
| tsuru`` | gordonjcp: http://pastebin.com/pbuRBRyU | 12:54 |
| fabrydrunk | oh I see. But, if each new release brings new updates....why do lts versions exist? Aren't they something like "you won't have new updates for longer period"? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | security updates are the key. not everything gets updated to the latest version | 12:54 |

| keshav | hi i am ubuntu user and i am getting some problems in it | 13:21 |
| rsv | OKAY, just couple of hours back i had re-installed my ubuntu which overwrote my entire home directory | 13:21 |
| rsv | Now, i went and bought myself a 1TB USB Drive, I want to know what is the best way of using this up! | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | normally you keep /home/ on its own partition. | 13:21 |
| Hrki | hi, am on 11.10, i want update to 12.04 LTS but nothing shows in update manager | 13:22 |
| Hrki | how to update ? | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | so mount the external usb to /home/ if you wanted to. but that may be a little slow. | 13:22 |
| keshav | hi am am on 12.04 lts and i face a problem that it hangs everytime | 13:22 |
| rsv | dr_willis: you want me to keep home in its own partition, how do i do it while installing ubuntu | 13:22 |
| rusfus_ | hi | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | rsv: the installer disk layout tool lets you define that. or you can set it up afterwards | 13:23 |

| gordonjcp | rusfus_: sounds like power management is kicking in. Is this on a laptop? | 13:26 |
| zorp | so | 13:26 |
| philinux | Hrki: it will take much longer than a clean install too | 13:26 |
| keshav | i normally boot up ubuntu and after an hour laptop sounds havily and stop responding anything from mouse to keyboard | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | rusfus_: sounds like the screen saver is kicking in. disable it perhaps? | 13:28 |
| handuel | rufus_ I think before you watch a video running this in terminal: killall gnome-screensaver might kill the screensaver process | 13:28 |
| rusfus_ | gordonjcp i've already tried, however,andnot on a desktop | 13:28 |
| keshav | i think i will have to reinstall ubuntu or will it be cured without it as i have shut down my laptop several time directly from power switch | 13:28 |

| JasonC_ | handuel: do you know if i could enable the hidden admin account through ubuntu? | 13:31 |
| rsv | it is partioned it in NTFS/exFAT this is a brand new disk, which i bought just to copy the contents of photorec | 13:32 |
| rsv | Also, is ddrescue more efficient or photorec | 13:32 |
| handuel | JasonC_: As far as I know you can't change many windows settings from ubuntu, you can acsess the files, but thats about it, you'd have to use windows safe mode | 13:32 |
| JasonC_ | also, how do i correctly reply by making users usernames go red :P | 13:32 |

| BluesKaj | zizi_, teamviewer has a linux version | 13:37 |

| zizi_ | so we havent? | 13:39 |
| gms | JasonC_ network settings has options for wifi if you dont have a network icon in status pannel its in settings. | 13:40 |
| JasonC_ | Ill revise, how do i connect to a domain internet on ubuntu, it's my works internet, you have to put your username and password, which goes like this e.g. domainname\username and then password on windows. I have like-wise open installed but that doesnt seem to help | 13:40 |
| gms | rusfus_ open a terminal. type "top" without the quotes | 13:40 |
| gms | all pretty strait forward from their just watch your process list to see if one of them starts collecting virtual/swap memory or abnormal cpu usage | 13:41 |
| kinema | hi, I installed ubuntu 11.04 on a 1gb USB stick, and found out now that the installation requirement is a 2gb+ stick. is it possible that ubuntu wasn't correctly installed? no errors showed up, but the system is slow sometimes. could it be the faulty installation or should I look for other reasons? | 13:42 |
| rusfus_ | gms_: sorry, here i am | 13:42 |
| Eagleman | How do i copy one line of text from a text file to the clipboard and paste it somewhere when on the console? | 13:42 |
| gms | kinema if you are booting only from usb stick the system will be slow as it juggles everythinbg around in memory. | 13:43 |
| kinema | gms: ah sorry, I meant I installed FROM a 1gb usb stick onto my disk | 13:43 |

| gms | for me my gateway or the routers config page will be http://192.168.0.1/ based on my ip 192.168.0.193 | 14:24 |
| gms | handuel your router may be configured for external administration. if so i recomend you disable that option. if you require it port forward to your linux box so traffic goes through your iptables and then rout back to the routers internal ip. protect the traffic by restricting it heavly with some chains reflecting login locations etc you might use. | 14:25 |

| eslu | vladimir, i haven't touched virtualbox in a while. But its either in the virtualbox settings, or in Ubuntu. | 14:28 |
| === morphis|away is now known as morphis | ||
| eslu | Top right corner -> Displays. If its in ubuntu | 14:28 |
| gms | Jisawesome_ go to a console and tup "ifconfig | grep inet" | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | handuel, for external IP , make sure you have wget and curl installed then you can use the termianl with this command , curl ifconfig.me | 14:28 |
| gms | look for the one that matches the connection type your using. | 14:29 |
| ngueba | my ubuntu keeps turning off my screen, any of you guys may help me? | 14:30 |
| vladimir | eslu, I try to reconfigure grub2, but I had no success... | 14:30 |
| gms | ngueba settings->screen disable blank screen and possibly dim if that anoys too | 14:30 |
| eslu | checked settings inside ubuntu vladimir? | 14:30 |
| eslu | i know Google Chromium OS, won't let you adjust resolution in Virtualbox. Maybe same for Ubuntu. | 14:30 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, you say I have to open port 8-0? | 14:30 |
| gms | port 80 | 14:31 |
| ngueba | gms i already set that up but it didn't work | 14:31 |
| ngueba | any other ideia? | 14:31 |
| gms | port 80 is the offical http protocol port. if your plan ning on ssl add 443 as well | 14:31 |
| handuel | gms: thanks for trying to help me but i've worked out that that was my old router, now I just go to bthomehub.home, to set things up | 14:31 |
| vladimir | eslu, graphical resolution is ok (1900x1080x32). But the console resolution is 640x480... | 14:32 |
| neweruser123 | guys i have a question | 14:32 |
| Jisawesome_ | Dont ask to ask | 14:33 |
| eslu | ah, then i can't help you vladimir. i don't know much about virtualbox :( | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | where can I get steam on ubuntu/kubuntu | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | i heard valve ported it to linux | 14:33 |
| gms | vladimir are you talking about just the consoles within or the desktop screen. | 14:33 |
| vladimir | eslu, thanks for your efforts to help me... | 14:33 |
| michealPW | There's no native steam yet, neweruser123 | 14:33 |
| handuel | neweruser123: it's not finished yet | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | howmuch longer? | 14:33 |
| handuel | neweruser123: it is perfectly runnable using wine | 14:33 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: You'll have to settle for Wine right now, which I think should work fine? | 14:33 |
| eslu | neweruser123, beta coming soon in november/december 2012. | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | and once its out where can I find it? | 14:33 |
| eslu | for other users 2013. | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | in the software center? | 14:33 |
| eslu | probably | 14:33 |
| neweruser123 | oh ok thanks and 1 last question what is the diff between WIne and WInetricks ? | 14:34 |
| michealPW | Man that will be so cool... | 14:34 |
| michealPW | :) | 14:34 |
| handuel | neweruser123 and check omgubuntu.co.uk for information about it, the admins there follow it closely and post info quite regurally | 14:34 |
| cuore | gsm : thX to remember that there is something called " recovery mode" lol i just reselected gdm by 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' command | 14:34 |
| vladimir | gms, i'm talking about the console resolution outside desktop screen | 14:34 |
| neweruser123 | ok handuel | 14:34 |
| cuore | thanks alot see ya | 14:34 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: Winetricks is a set of scripts that helps make using Wine easier. | 14:34 |
| handuel | neweruser123: wine allows you to run windows programs whereas winetricks makes using some programs in wine easier | 14:34 |
| ngueba | gms: i've already set that up, but it didn't work | 14:34 |
| neweruser123 | ok im using WIne tricks to install steam is that ok? | 14:35 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: Wine is a set of libraries that natively implement Microsoft's Windows' libraries that allow Windows programs to run natively on Linux. | 14:35 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, I finally connected to it | 14:35 |
| eslu | is the filesystem F2FS finished, or is it under developement? | 14:35 |
| michealPW | Yea, should be fine. Personally I recommend PlayOnLinux, but you can achieve similar results with Winetricks. | 14:35 |
| neweruser123 | ok il try playonlinux | 14:35 |
| Guest____ | hi. how can I change the window manager in ubuntu 12.10? | 14:36 |
| gms | Jisawesome_ somehow i knew you would without me having to say any more :P | 14:36 |
| neweruser123 | oh yeah 1 last question | 14:36 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, I meant my router page... | 14:36 |
| neweruser123 | where can I find the latest drivers e.g. AMD graphics card drivers | 14:36 |
| philinux | Guest____: which wm do you want | 14:36 |
| eslu | neweruser123, are you using ubuntu 12.10 or ubuntu 12.04? | 14:36 |
| Guest____ | philinux: stumpwm. I already installed it using apt-get. but I can't find out how to use it | 14:37 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: With POL it's just so easy to swap in/out different versions of Wine for different games. Some games want certain versions of Wine or certain wine settings enabled/disabled.. PlayOnLinux makes it easy to setup a seperate Wine and Wine config for each individual windows program/game you install. They're all seperate from each other, as well. | 14:37 |
| gms | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx | 14:37 |
| fantasuello | ciao | 14:37 |
| neweruser123 | im using kubuntu, i plan to remove kubuntu today in a few hours | 14:37 |
| Jisawesome_ | !portforward | 14:37 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall | 14:37 |
| neweruser123 | and install ubuntu | 14:37 |
| philinux | Guest____: log out and choose it for your session at login | 14:37 |
| eslu | alright, coz in ubuntu its just system settings -> drivers -> fgrlx | 14:37 |
| michealPW | I found I had to go to amd.com (ati.amd.com I think) and download the drivers from them. The drivers I got from Ubuntu were good but for some reason Gnome-Shell wouldn't work properly with it. | 14:37 |
| neil | hi guys i cannot update my ubuntu netbook? i did not get a hold of the error message. please help or PM me for support | 14:38 |
| Guest____ | philinux: how? I can't find out how to choose... | 14:38 |
| vladimir | gms, can you help about this issue? | 14:38 |
| Eagleman | Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed 1 or 2 hours? | 14:38 |
| neweruser123 | how can I switch from kubuntu to Ubunutu easily? | 14:38 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: You don't have to use either/or. If you like KDE you can stick with Kubuntu and pull in any program you want from Ubuntu. In fact, you can just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop right now, which will install all the Ubuntu stuff for you.. I do the opposite. | 14:38 |
| philinux | Guest____: hang on a mo | 14:38 |
| michealPW | I install Ubuntu, then I apt-get install edubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu heehee. | 14:39 |
| neweruser123 | ok micheal i will try now how would i switch back later? | 14:39 |
| michealPW | That way I can log-in and select whichever desktop environment I want and I have access to all the neat stuff from each distro :P | 14:39 |
| michealPW | You would do sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop | 14:39 |
| michealPW | Which will revert you back to your original Kubuntu. | 14:39 |
| neweruser123 | ok the problem with kubuntu it does not have Ubuntu software center | 14:39 |
| gms | vladimir i need to open a query my eyes just cant track of follow this chan as it moves too quick and i have memory of retention equivilant to a sive retaining water | 14:39 |
| neweruser123 | it has "muon software" | 14:40 |
| neil | guys i need help with this one. "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." | 14:40 |
| guang_ | i click once,but effect like twice. | 14:40 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: Ah, you can install the Ubuntu Software Center if you want. It's really neat, huh? It's the same software and everything, just so you're aware. What Muon can find, Ubuntu Software Center can find and vice versa. | 14:40 |
| philinux | Guest____: sorry got confused with DE not a WM have u seen the documentation http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/manual/stumpwm_1.html#SEC2 | 14:40 |
| guang_ | how to fix it/ | 14:40 |
| guang_ | ? | 14:40 |
| vladimir | gms, LoL... | 14:40 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: In fact, I THINK you can open Muon, search for "Ubuntu Software Center" and install it all by itself :P | 14:40 |
| desu | So guys any advice on compiling a custom kernel? | 14:41 |
| neweruser123 | ok michealPW | 14:41 |
| philinux | Guest____: you'll have to read through it all | 14:41 |
| michealPW | Try that and see how that works. | 14:41 |
| gms | desu yes. take great care | 14:41 |
| Guest____ | philinux: thanks, I'll have a look | 14:41 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, what do I do from the browser pagte | 14:41 |
| neweruser123 | yes it works thanks for that, installing now | 14:41 |
| eslu | Got a question about PlayonLinux, why does it download a old wine version everytime i wish to install a game? Is there anything i can do, to make it use my CURRENT version of wine instead? | 14:41 |
| desu | Why take great care? what's the worst that could happen? | 14:41 |
| gms | Jisawesome_ have a look around in the firewall/port forward section. may modems/routers/wifi devices put on same page some have there own page. | 14:42 |
| philinux | Guest____: also see this https://github.com/sabetts/stumpwm/wiki/Ubuntu-12.04-and-Gnome-and-StumpWM | 14:42 |
| neweruser123 | Is firefox the default browser for Ubuntu? | 14:42 |
| philinux | yes | 14:42 |
| eslu | neweruser123: yes | 14:42 |
| guang_ | yes | 14:42 |
| neweruser123 | I heard FIrefox wont get FLash player anymore what will hapen | 14:42 |
| michealPW | eslu: If you click on teh game you've installed and then click Configure, you can tell it to use whatever Wine version you want for that specific game. | 14:42 |
| guang_ | i click once,but effect like twice.how to fix it? | 14:42 |
| desu | chromium-browser | 14:42 |
| Eagleman | Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed 1 or 2 hours? | 14:42 |
| eslu | alright cheers michealpw | 14:42 |
| gms | often the new kernel compiler reads out options not fully understood and enables them thinking they are cool features but often end up with unstable or incompatible kernel. | 14:43 |
| neweruser123 | should I switch to google chrome | 14:43 |
| philinux | neweruser123: no need to switch flash ok for yonks yet | 14:43 |
| michealPW | eslu: By default, PlayOnLinux will install a stable version of Wine. It's not relevant though, 'cause POL's whole point is to configure a separate Wine for each individual game, whatever Wine that game runs best with. | 14:43 |
| michealPW | Np | 14:43 |
| gms | in general a default compile unless your using intel optimized compiler will do. | 14:43 |
| gms | you only realy need to compile of your bleeding edge or developing | 14:44 |
| philinux | neweruser123: linux will still get security update for a couple of years IIRC | 14:44 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, it wants me to choose a program I am doing it for | 14:44 |
| michealPW | neweruser123: That's poppycock. Firefox will always get Flash plugins, in fact most browsers get the plugin that was made for Firefox, since Firefox uses the Netscape Plugin architecture, since Firefox evovled from the old Netscape project. | 14:44 |
| desu | 14:44 | |
| gms | Jisawesome_ what program is it asking for. ? | 14:44 |
| === Guest98145 is now known as SouravAJ | ||
| neweruser123 | ok i see | 14:44 |
| gms | mayby a screenshot of what your looking at | 14:44 |
| alecb | I really like the tray icons in unity for volume, battery, etc, but I'm not using unity. is there any way to run these indicators as applets in other wms like you can with nm-applet? | 14:44 |
| michealPW | Besides, flash gets less and less useful as time goes on... Hopefully one day you wont ever need a flash plugin :) | 14:44 |
| neweruser123 | like html5 ? | 14:45 |
| michealPW | Yes, exactly. | 14:45 |
| spleen | hi | 14:45 |
| philinux | michealPW: see this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/adobe-adandons-flash-on-linux | 14:45 |
| morsnowski | flash is to be discontinued anyway, and I can't wait | 14:45 |
| spleen | just a question please | 14:45 |
| desu | And then everyone changed to Mac OS, and bunnies stopped reproducing. | 14:46 |
| spleen | how to get back in gnome shell the icone "show applications" in the dash ? | 14:46 |
| philinux | html5 FTW | 14:46 |
| michealPW | A student in fact used some tools to take the C++ source code for the Cube 2 engine and transcoded it to HTML5. You can try the game on the Mozilla Developer's Network. | 14:46 |
| mmmmmm | !list | 14:46 |

| michealPW | Who said anything about warez? Get over yourself in this channel, seriously. | 14:47 |
| michealPW | I'm talking about open source games running in an open source browser using open standards... | 14:47 |
| michealPW | And you're talking about Warez? :) | 14:48 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/yeaj.png/ | 14:48 |
| neweruser123 | loool | 14:48 |
| desu | Why get warez when there's a world of open source out there? | 14:48 |
| michealPW | Exactly. | 14:48 |
| michealPW | Ubuntu makes warez silly :P | 14:48 |
| spleen | is there anybody can help me ? | 14:48 |
| jrib | michealPW: the response was to mmmmm's "!list" which sometimes has a bot send a list of available files... | 14:48 |

| michealPW | Oh, sorry | 14:48 |
| Eagleman | Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed 1 or 2 hours? | 14:48 |
| michealPW | bazhang: Yea, heaven forbid we talk about Flash not being available for Linux in an Ubuntu channel, right? | 14:48 |
| michealPW | Esp. when nobody was talking anyways, LOL. | 14:49 |
| Jisawesome_ | gms, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/yeaj.png/ | 14:49 |
| michealPW | This channel's brutal, god.. | 14:49 |
| gms | Jisawesome_ thats not the right page. your need to "port forward" | 14:49 |
| bazhang | michealPW, it is available. stay on topic | 14:49 |
| eslu | Flash isn't a problem anyway, one day html5 is common... | 14:49 |
| neweruser123 | wtf uni's are teaching students flash | 14:50 |
| neweruser123 | i thought flash is dying | 14:50 |
| Jisawesome_ | would that be under info, broadband, LAN, firewall, logs, or dyagnostics | 14:50 |
| morsnowski | neweruser123, they also teach vb6 still | 14:50 |
| morsnowski | but then thats OT | 14:50 |
| neweruser123 | what programming language is ubuntu made in | 14:51 |
| adaminsull | Why do I get apitide fail when using tasksel | 14:51 |
| desu | c | 14:51 |
| adaminsull | error 100 | 14:51 |
| === root____5 is now known as SouravAJ | ||
| neweruser123 | is it C or C++ | 14:51 |
| mainerror | neweruser123: many | 14:51 |
| alecb | bump -- any way to get the indicator icons in a non-unity environment? like you can with nm-applet? | 14:52 |
| eslu | ubuntu software center is made in python. | 14:52 |
| morsnowski | adaminsull, sudo ? | 14:52 |
| neweruser123 | so learning C means I can make programs for Ubuntu right? | 14:52 |
| mainerror | also, Ubuntu is obviously not only one thing. | 14:52 |
| adaminsull | Same morsnowski | 14:52 |
| desu | no | 14:52 |
| rexwin_ | adaminsull, what do you want install using tasksel | 14:52 |
| neweruser123 | then? what programming language | 14:52 |
| morsnowski | adaminsull, what are you selecting? | 14:52 |

| Tdaug | Can I swap the functions of the shortcuts "super+s" and "super"? | 14:52 |
| mainerror | I'd suggest Python. | 14:53 |
| desu | newuser123 no, you can learn any programming language you want and still run your programs on linux. | 14:53 |
| eslu | Python / C / C++, are safe bets. | 14:53 |
| michealPW | Learn ANSI C and get hands on experience developing for Gnome, the underlying technology that Ubuntu's Unity builds on. | 14:53 |
| screwsss | PYTHON | 14:53 |

| ThinkT510 | neweruser123: ubiquity (the ubuntu installer) is coded in python, as is the software centre | 14:53 |
| mainerror | neweruser123: Yes, Python is quite easy to learn and you can write applications for Ubuntu with it. ;) | 14:54 |
| morsnowski | adaminsull, try a sudo apt-get update first | 14:54 |
| IdleOne | noone4: Please stop sending dcc chat requests. if you have a support question ask it in the chanell | 14:54 |

| desu | neweruser123: sorry, when I said C, I meant the kernel(as far as I can tell it's pretty much all C in there) | 14:54 |

| ubottu | root____5: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 14:55 |
| adaminsull | rexwin_: I did | 14:56 |
| craigbass1976 | I keep getting disconnected notices, but it doesn't look like I'm really getting disconnected. Someone else I know has this happen on a wireless network (my connection is eth0 -- cat5) and hers I guess actually DOES disconnect. | 14:56 |
| neweruser123 | lets say my game is done in 6 months, how will i submit it to the ubuntu store | 14:56 |
| Wug | ThinkT510: ~ means ident did not affirmative | 14:56 |
| neweruser123 | for free of course | 14:56 |
| philinux | neweruser123: also see this http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tools/quickly/ | 14:56 |
| Wug | he might have just typed root into the box | 14:56 |
| neweruser123 | ok philinux | 14:57 |
| Wug | you should do that sometime, and see how annoying it is to have everyone flip out | 14:57 |
| OerHeks | Wug, no, it isn't the irc name. | 14:57 |
| Wug | OerHeks: its the ident field, the ~root@ part | 14:57 |
| luyang | does ubuntu have LAMP preintalled | 14:57 |
| eslu | Is it easy to port games from Ubuntu <--> Android, if it use the same kernel? | 14:57 |
| Wug | any irc client in the world will let you put whatever you want there | 14:58 |
| ThinkT510 | eslu: no | 14:58 |
| jrib | luyang: you can choose to install it at install-time with the server install if you want. Or you can easily install it afterwards | 14:58 |
| ThinkT510 | eslu: android uses a different libc and doesn't use X11 | 14:58 |
| OerHeks | Wug, no, in this case 'root@' is the username. | 14:58 |
| desu | Isn't android just a whole lot of Java and some linux kernel? | 14:59 |
| Wug | OerHeks: no, it was ~root@ | 14:59 |
| gms | Jisawesome_ how did you go finding those port forwarding options? | 14:59 |
| luyang | jrib: kthx, is the standard lamp installation secure? | 14:59 |
| Wug | (~root@122.162.77.255) | 14:59 |
| theadmin | I have a problem. Sound doesn't work in some of the videos and works in others. I tested with SMPlayer and VLC. | 14:59 |
| Wug | the squiggle indicates the ircd did not get an affirmative response from an ident server | 14:59 |
| OerHeks | Wug, i don't discuss this, i am right, | 15:00 |
| eslu | Hm okay, was hoping the same kernel would make it easier. As android is based on linux, and the next Playstation is probably based on linux aswell. (x86 architecture this time, if rumours are true) | 15:00 |
| danub | how can i sto pthe 15-20 second delay when ssh'ing to a system? after i put in my pass, it waits about 20 seconds before prompting for a password | 15:00 |
| Wug | which could mean either it's firewalled, or its spoofed | 15:00 |
| danub | is there a way to disable all authentication mechanisms besides keyboard? | 15:00 |
| gms | luyang lamp being "linux apache mysql php" the answer is no. you must go through and secure your box properly dont assume its secured | 15:00 |
| luyang | that sounds tedious | 15:01 |
| theadmin | Hm... Works in KMPlayer | 15:01 |
| neweruser123 | i got another problem, no soun | 15:01 |

| gms | it generaly is initialy. once you know what needs to be done you can develope scripts to help you speed things up. copying your shell log is one way of replicating many consecutive tasks. if you have ten files to edit adding ten lines of vi /etc/<file> etc is actualy easy as it prompts you along. faster then having to think about each step it reminds you. so i often dump bash logs to a new file and edit them up into shell scrip | 15:03 |
| gms | ts simply to catch dozens of cmd line options etc. | 15:03 |

| ThinkT510 | !aptitude | raj | 16:01 |
| ubottu | raj: 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. | 16:01 |

So far it's unmittigated shit for VNC: it doesn't understand over half the security types used; the java applet gives better response times; it can't autonegotiate the color depth, it requires you select it. | 16:02 |

| bobweaver | Is there a way to tell apt to Not look for updates for certain packages from the repos ? say I do not want to look for upgrades of Unity is there a way to tell apt to just never get thouse upgrades ? | 16:13 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: what ubuntu version are you running? | 16:13 |
| neweruser123 | i need some more helping remove this | 16:13 |
| neweruser123 | theirs no command in the guide | 16:13 |
| hhhzzzarn | bobweaver, you should read the apt manual guide on ubuntu wiki/documentations. | 16:13 |
| bazhang | !pinning | bobweaver | 16:14 |
| ubottu | bobweaver: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 16:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, the commands are in the comment section (have to find it) | 16:14 |
| gms | neweruser123 did you try settings->apearance? | 16:14 |
| _cronus_ | asl^^, unattended updates | 16:14 |
| mrblue | desu how to install it using terminal | 16:14 |
| bobweaver | hhhzzzarn, you should not tell people to read the effing mannual or at least give Links | 16:14 |
| desu | mrblue sudo apt-get install nmap | 16:14 |
| bobweaver | hhhzzzarn, that is against the COC | 16:14 |
| asl^^ | thanks gms | 16:14 |
| bobweaver | thanks bazhang | 16:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | Why would i search the link to the manual for you? | 16:15 |
| bazhang | hhhzzzarn, no need to respond then | 16:15 |
| bthornton | ahh, looks like I've entered a Linux chatroom. :) | 16:16 |
| bobweaver | hhhzzzarn, all I am saying is that your commet to RTFM is not a good one and helps no one | 16:16 |
| mrblue | desu error install | 16:16 |
| bobweaver | again thanks bazhang I see that I can use PiN-Priority Now and that is a great thing | 16:17 |
| desu | mrblue what's the output? | 16:17 |
| _cronus_ | asl^^, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates | 16:17 |
| bthornton | Hey all. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo laptop, for which I have a dock that's connected to 2 monitors. Is there any (reasonable) way to have Ubuntu recognize when the laptop has been docked and switch to my external displays automatically? And then vice-versa for when I undock? | 16:17 |
| neweruser123 | ok i found how to disable it not remove it | 16:17 |
| bthornton | In general, it seems like there's no support for docking with this hardware. | 16:17 |
| neweruser123 | seems to be fine for now | 16:17 |
| hhhzzzarn | bobweaver, it is not against the COC (just mentioning). | 16:17 |
| ThinkT510 | bobweaver: beware of what you are pinning, it could cause dependency issues later | 16:17 |
| bobweaver | /ignore hhhzzzarn | 16:17 |
| devish | hi all, i have a bit unusal problem , i am trying to make an desktop icon for eclipse but the image is not coming at all instead a ? comes\ | 16:17 |
| devish | any clue | 16:17 |
| === morphis|away is now known as morphis | ||
| bobweaver | ThinkT510, I just can image | 16:18 |
| neweruser123 | does anyone know how I can remove openjdk and get sun java? | 16:18 |
| neweruser123 | im looking to play a java game | 16:18 |
| bekks | neweruser123: And it wont run with OpenJDK? | 16:18 |
| ThinkT510 | !java | neweruser123 | 16:18 |
| ubottu | neweruser123: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 16:18 |
| ArchOpenBox | devish: I just download a image from google and replace the image. | 16:18 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, you do not need to remove you can have both and use update-alternitives to use both | 16:18 |
| neweruser123 | on the site it says usesun Java | 16:18 |
| === morphis is now known as morphis|away | ||
| mrblue | desu in writting the file is not found in the directory E | 16:19 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Then first just try to use OpenJDK. | 16:19 |
| ArchOpenBox | devish: vector images are the best for icons. | 16:19 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, go to software center, and remove "openjdk" then follow a guide (many available online) to install sun java. | 16:19 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, like "sudo update-alternatives --config java" | 16:19 |
| abailarri | I just installed ubuntu 12.04, but the pc hangs!!! | 16:19 |
| crqd | i changed the default player to vlc, but mp4s still open in totem. How do i change it to open in vlc? i amchanging in details>default apps | 16:19 |
| neweruser123 | " The jar is executable and might work as-is. If you run into memory issues, try launching it with java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun's JVM." | 16:19 |
| neweruser123 | i want to allocate 4gb Ram | 16:19 |
| devish | ArchOpenBox: the icon is of type xpm | 16:20 |
| bekks | neweruser123: And...? | 16:20 |
| bazhang | crqd, right click mp4 check properties play with/open with | 16:20 |
| devish | ArchOpenBox: i am giving its path correctly "Icon=~/Documents/eclipse/icon.xpm" | 16:20 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Minecraft runs with OpenJDK and 4GB is just wasting RAM. :) | 16:20 |
| devish | b ut it does not show up | 16:20 |
| neweruser123 | i have 8gb should be ok to waste some more | 16:21 |
| crqd | i know that, but how can i change the default dclick action to open in vlc | 16:21 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, again you can have both installed and just call the one that you want to use example sudo update-alternatives --config java pick the one you want to use then run java --version to see what version you are useing :) | 16:21 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Do you have 64Bit Ubuntu? | 16:21 |
| neweruser123 | yeh | 16:21 |
| ArchOpenBox | devish: adjust icon size. does this help. Some images are bigger and cant display in smaller desktop settings. | 16:21 |
| desu | mrblue sorry I had to get my laptop charger, did you say anything? | 16:21 |
| _cronus_ | devish, had the same problem. i had to give it the full path | 16:22 |
| bekks | neweruser123: There is no benefit in wasting that much RAM to minecraft. | 16:22 |
| neweruser123 | ok 2gb then | 16:22 |
| bazhang | crqd, this will accomplish that, set as default | 16:22 |
| neweruser123 | this is what problem I get "The file '/home/tan/Downloads/minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." | 16:22 |
| mrblue | desu what's his problem because I installed my linux along with windows 7 on my laptop so there are two OS then its not found | 16:22 |
| bekks | neweruser123: And just try the OpenJDK first. | 16:22 |
| neweruser123 | i just did -_- | 16:22 |
| desu | mrblue dual boot has nothing to do with you being able to install packages from the repos... | 16:23 |
| crqd | there's no set as default option, and i tried doing open with and the next dclick it just opens in totem again | 16:23 |
| desu | Minecraft doesn't work with OpenJDK as I understand it. | 16:23 |
| bobweaver | desu +1 | 16:23 |
| desu | +1? | 16:23 |
| bazhang | crqd, 12.10? gnome? | 16:24 |
| bobweaver | juju charm works good for minecraft I hear | 16:24 |
| raj | ThinkT510, Not sure, 11.04 I think | 16:24 |
| raj | I'm on a T410 btw ;) | 16:24 |
| crqd | yes, i went to details and vlc is default for video | 16:24 |
| crqd | still opens in totem | 16:24 |
| mrblue | desu oohh what I have to put it in the tar file document linux system | 16:24 |
| linkandzelda | guys my machine has been "reading package lists..." for the last 13 mins and its only 47%. This task used to be almost instant, what can i do? | 16:24 |
| bekks | neweruser123: You cannot execute a jar file. | 16:24 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: what is the output of lsb_release -sd | 16:24 |
| bekks | neweruser123: java -jar minecraft.jar | 16:25 |
| bazhang | crqd, then set as default is certainly a choice. lower right hand of properties box | 16:25 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Thats not a OpenJDK/SunJDK problem. | 16:25 |
| bazhang | linkandzelda, change mirrors | 16:25 |
| neweruser123 | its working | 16:25 |
| neweruser123 | but crap i updated the game damn | 16:25 |
| bekks | neweruser123: And...? | 16:25 |
| desu | mrblue the tarball is only if you want to install from source, quick question do you have 32 bit or 64 bit os? | 16:26 |
| crqd | the buttons are find apps online, cancel, select and show other apps | 16:26 |
| linkandzelda | bazhang, i have a feeling its the gnome ppa i added yesterday, im not sure how to remove it | 16:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server | 16:26 |
| neweruser123 | bekks: nothing I accidentaly updated nothing to do with java it self | 16:26 |
| bekks | hhhzzzarn: He doesnt need a server. :) | 16:26 |
| desu | mrblue also which version of ubuntu? | 16:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | bekks, oh he just wants to play the game? | 16:26 |
| mrblue | my versions ubuntu 12.10 | 16:27 |
| neweruser123 | im already running a server | 16:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, then you don't need to allocate that much ram for playing it. | 16:27 |
| gaetano | #ubuntustudio | 16:27 |
| mrblue | desu my versions ubuntu 12.10 | 16:27 |
| bekks | hhhzzzarn: Correct. | 16:27 |
| neweruser123 | hhhzzzarn: ok just thought it would help out more | 16:27 |
| bekks | hhhzzzarn: Thats what I already told him. | 16:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | bekks: ok. | 16:27 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, this is a cloud based server ? | 16:27 |
| devish | ArchOpenBox: _cronus_ : i beleive full path + size both were the problem , i made the size to default and gave the full path then its done | 16:28 |
| devish | and once the icon is there i can resize the launccher on my wish ;) | 16:28 |
| neweruser123 | bobweaver: no the hosting thing you have to buy not sure what it is | 16:28 |
| neweruser123 | i need to allocate more ram i think | 16:29 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Why? | 16:29 |
| mrblue | what is with you no download link nmap.tar | 16:29 |
| desu | mrblue http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/nmap/download | 16:29 |
| bekks | neweruser123: More RAM is only useful for the server instance, not for the clients. | 16:30 |
| neweruser123 | i can see a slight difference in performance while playing on windows and ubuntu | 16:30 |
| desu | assuming you have amd64, not sure if you answered that question or not... | 16:30 |
| desu | i mean 64 bit cpu. | 16:30 |
| bekks | neweruser123: And how do you expect RAM to change that...? | 16:30 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, nevermind then but in the future (If you like ) there is a easy thing to use called a juju charm that are services for the cloud but if this is just local server then forget about it till you go to cloud if you do that is. You can read Marco blog about it here later if you like. http://marcoceppi.com/2011/11/deploying-the-minecraft-charm/ | 16:30 |
| neweruser123 | bekks: i saw on youtube more ram made the game load more smoother | 16:31 |
| _cronus_ | devish, nice. good to know. | 16:31 |
| user552233 | exit | 16:31 |
| bekks | neweruser123: I do not believe in videos other people cheated. :) | 16:31 |
| gaetano | hello everyone! someone knows how can i get skype for free? because in software center its only for a fee | 16:31 |
| _cronus_ | devish, maybe you could file a bug report if you get the time ;) | 16:32 |
| bekks | !skype | gaetano | 16:32 |

| raj | ThinkT510, 11.04 | 16:32 |
| neweruser123 | bekks: its definately real though, my question now is how would I find the .appdata | 16:32 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: 11.04 is no longer supported | 16:33 |
| ThinkT510 | !eol | raj | 16:33 |
| ubottu | raj: 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 | 16:33 |
| bekks | neweruser123: maybe ask the minecraft guys ;) | 16:33 |
| neweruser123 | any here? | 16:33 |
| devish | _cronus_: now eclipse is open so rest is close, + i leave this for the people to figure out :D | 16:33 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Maybe in #minecraft | 16:34 |
| neweruser123 | i mean like in WIndows u go to the directory windows > appdata > roaming | 16:34 |
| desu | neweruser123 hi. | 16:34 |
| raj | ok, but I'm just wondering what the best way is to get the latest nginx | 16:34 |
| opalepatrick | using 12.10 unity - the hud seems almost unusable because the drawing of icons has slowed hugely (when looking for a app for instance). Working in things like gimp and getting commands is fine) Is this a bug? | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: use the latest ubuntu | 16:34 |
| neweruser123 | i still have no audio in ubuntu :s | 16:34 |
| raj | ThinkT510, that's a pretty drastic way to get the latest nginx : | 16:35 |
| desu | what version? | 16:35 |
| raj | :) | 16:35 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: we can't support 11.04 | 16:35 |
| neweruser123 | desu what do u mean | 16:35 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest89637 | ||
| bobweaver | opalepatrick, do you know how to run a test like with "UTAH" to see for bugs ? or test by running "unity --replace" and reading the output ? | 16:35 |
| raj | it's dangerous for me to just update my ubuntu though | 16:36 |
| raj | things could really break | 16:36 |
| bekks | raj: Then create a backup :) | 16:36 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, what version of ubuntu do you have? | 16:36 |
| desu | neweruser123 I mean what version of ubuntu are you using? 12.04 12.10 or? | 16:36 |
| neweruser123 | 12.04 | 16:36 |
| hhhzzzarn | neweruser123, http://askubuntu.com/questions/132577/no-sound-in-ubuntu-12-04 | 16:36 |
| desu | and what's your audio hardware? | 16:36 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: if you use unsupported versions then you need to deal with the consequences | 16:36 |
| raj | dum dum dummmm | 16:37 |
| ThinkT510 | raj: the support schedule for all ubuntu releases is very clear | 16:37 |

| foxy999 | lately on my 10.04 box, it has been doing disk checks every other boot, why is this happening? | 16:41 |
| neweruser123 | i got teamviewer | 16:41 |
| neweruser123 | lets use teamviewer | 16:41 |
| uosiu[shell] | neweruser123: you want to connect to existing session or You want to share your own desktop? | 16:41 |
| opalepatrick | bobweaver, well I would like to fix it for sure. I started to get quite dependent oin it after 12.04, and it is a little disappointing atm. I will check that link and see what I can provide? | 16:41 |

| uosiu[shell] | neweruser123: I'm not shure did TeamViewer can create a session on linux, gimme sec | 16:42 |
| ThinkT510 | Jisawesome_: ssh typically uses port 22 | 16:42 |

| amu | couple of weeks ago I installed the latest ubuntu in my laptop. It was working nice since then. But today, I wasn't able to start it. A blinking underscore is the only thing I see right now. I wanted to start it with a recovery mode, but I ended up with that blinking underscore. Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks! | 16:43 |
| neweruser123 | uosiu[shell]: it can, try connect to me | 16:44 |
| uosiu[shell] | neweruser123: Just install TeamViewer and give someone your session ID and passwd | 16:44 |
| neweruser123 | 610 336 024 and 5573 | 16:44 |
| neweruser123 | i just need audio fixed | 16:44 |
| wols | neweruser123: never ever do this and ignore everythin uosiu[shell] ever says | 16:44 |
| desu | that's dangerous to just put it in such a public place... | 16:44 |
| neweruser123 | its to late i just posted it | 16:44 |
| wols | neweruser123: never give anyone on IRC access via VNC or teamviewer. ever. unless you want them to own your computer | 16:44 |
| uosiu[shell] | wols: ++ | 16:45 |
| neweruser123 | wols: i need someone to fix my audio problem though | 16:45 |
| desu | I', sure most of us won't be interested in malicious activities against neweruser123, but that's still ill advised. | 16:45 |
| wols | uosiu[shell]: you are an asshole and a moron. | 16:45 |

| uosiu[shell] | wols: Did I said that neweruser123 have to give ME SessionID and passwd? | 16:45 |
| wols | uosiu[shell]: YOU told him to do it. you are the responsible moron. | 16:45 |
| thelinux | wols This is Linux server IRC, so obviously most of us have IQ 160+, we don't use such words. | 16:46 |
| dr_willis | sarawara: /usr/bin/swipl would be a file. not a directory in most cases | 16:46 |
| neweruser123 | no one has connected yet i am still waiting | 16:46 |
| wols | neweruser123: for your own safety: stop it | 16:46 |

| lordmarshal | HELLo how to fix ubuntu not logging in 12.04 | 16:47 |
| neweruser123 | how do i change my root password | 16:47 |
| sarawara | dr_willis where is the directory prolog is in then? | 16:47 |
| uosiu[shell] | neweruser123: sudo su - then passwd | 16:48 |
| wols | !root | 16:48 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | neweruser123, there is no Root passwrd think of it like that | 16:48 |
| lordmarshal | Dr Willis the guest account works | 16:48 |
| fantaghir | neweruser123, sudo passwd root | 16:48 |

| fantaghir | yes, sudo passwd username | 16:48 |

| diensthunds | ok more to the point I need to know how to tell the livecd that is being exported by the nbd server to look for the system via the hard drive rather then /dev/sr0 | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | lordmarshal: try makinga new user - see if it works for them- if so . then one of your problem users settings or files is the issues. Commonly its the .Xauthority file thats to blame. try removeing/moveing it perhaps. | 16:48 |

| dr_willis | neweruser123: sudo apt-get install packagename | 16:56 |
| decbot | gaetano: are you writing html/css or are you working in something like java and c? | 16:56 |
| ThinkT510 | martinux: why do you want to create a folder there? | 16:56 |
| sarawara | codemaniax, i do not use commands very often, so i'm not very good at it, but i could try, copy seems pretty straight forward, but i'd need the name of the directory to put it in. I need to put a file in the folder of swipl, in it's library | 16:56 |
| neweruser123 | what about kde? and whats the package name called again | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | neweruser123: and the packaetg name is pavucontrol | 16:56 |

| kyle__ | desu: I did that for fun once on a system I was going to wipe, as a normal user. Wanted to see what happened. All it did was remove that user. Dissapointing. | 17:11 |
| dr_willis | furycd001: its a simple text file. | 17:11 |
| Finnish_ | bekks, OK, thanks, I'll give it a co | 17:11 |

| gordonjcp | kyle__: and tbh it does you good to accidentally do rm -rf * in your homedir every now and again | 17:12 |
| Finnish_ | bekks, Thanks alot!!! | 17:12 |
| desu | Tm_T alright, thanks for the warning, but is there anyway of seeing what the bot will react to? | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | furycd001: err... with whatever text editor you like... You sure you shouldent be spending some time learning more basic skills if this is new to you? | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | kyle__: it clears out all the crap you haven't worked on for too long, and all the important stuff should be backed up or in version control anyway ;-) | 17:12 |
| gaetano | allu3: thanks! | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | desu: pm it | 17:12 |
| ArchOpenBox | that sucks we missed out on crossweaver give away of software for games. :( and 12 months free support | 17:13 |
| desu | you can do that!? | 17:13 |
| ThinkT510 | desu: the bot only responds to commands | 17:13 |
| kyle__ | gordonjcp: Heh. Depends on how good you are at backing up....but then again the people who are overly anal about backups probably don't have that much cruft lying around. | 17:13 |

| dr_willis | ArchOpenBox: whats amazing is that freeday was the first time id crossover mentioned in AGES... | 17:13 |
| kyle__ | gordonjcp: rsync backups or lvm snapshots? Which do you do? | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | first time ive seen crossover mentioned in ages.. ;) | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | kyle__: rsync because I'm lazy | 17:13 |
| decbot | gaetano: you can run dreamweaver in wine if you must have dreamweaver. In linux, you're more likely to use more simple tools to accomplish a task than using a single complex tool like dreamweaver | 17:14 |
| HawkDoom | as double-clicking on the display nickname in the box? xchat.. | 17:14 |
| kyle__ | gordonjcp: i don't htink it's lazy. It's a taste thing. Some systems I like the snapshots, sometimes I do periodic rysnc backups. | 17:14 |
| gordonjcp | kyle__: frequently I do tar c | ssh <server> "tar x" | 17:14 |
| Deluxo | Hello! | 17:15 |

| fantaghir | Deluxo, Hi | 17:15 |
| ArchOpenBox | dr_willis: Hey well they run the code for Mac using linux kernel and port windows games to mac users now. So they big money now. Get all the richy rich kids that could careless to hack computer games. | 17:15 |
| gaetano | decbot: is wine a virtual machine? | 17:15 |
| raj | how do you uninstall something I apt-get installed before? | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | gaetano: no, it's a set of libraries | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | raj: apt-get remove | 17:15 |
| ThinkT510 | gaetano: no, it is a compatibility layer | 17:15 |
| === nick is now known as Guest53089 | ||
| raj | thanks | 17:16 |
| decbot | gaetano: so, in linux I use geany and vim to edit my html/css/javascript/php, use chrome and firefox to view the edits, and use gftp to upload the changes to my site | 17:16 |
| piglit | what linux games are easy to install and nice to play? | 17:16 |
| kyle__ | heheh. | 17:16 |
| bobweaver | gaetano, If you are new to wine I 100% suggest looking at playonlinux | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | ArchOpenBox: macs use BSD as the core last i looked... | 17:16 |
| Deluxo | on CCSM changing the: Vblank, Vertex Buffer, frame buffer switching to off causes better unity and compiz performance on i5 core! | 17:16 |
| bobweaver | !info playonlinux | gaetano | 17:16 |
| ubottu | gaetano: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.1.1-1 (quantal), package size 1436 kB, installed size 3507 kB | 17:16 |
| gordonjcp | decbot: if you find yourself doing that a lot, look at a deployment framework like fabric | 17:16 |
| ThinkT510 | dr_willis: a very lose definition of bsd | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | decbot: and don't use ftp | 17:17 |
| Deluxo | on CCSM changing the: Vblank, Vertex Buffer, frame buffer switching to off causes better unity and compiz performance on i5 core!! Please someone who has a rank of somes sort of inform the unity taem | 17:17 |
| Deluxo | as this is not a bug | 17:17 |
| decbot | gaetano: wine "Wine Is Not an Emulator" ... it is not a virtual machine, but an application that lets you run native windows binaries in linux | 17:17 |
| Deluxo | but a matter of default preference on out of the box settings | 17:17 |
| desu | ah I like this bot. | 17:17 |
| sarawara | codemaniac i do not understand your : find -name "swipl" -type d -print 2>/dev/null, but with the 'locate prolog ' of diensthunt i get (amongst many other like these) /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce-6.6.66/prolog/lib/pce_image.pl | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | piglit: the various humble bundles often have nice linux games. :) been playing Rochard lately | 17:17 |
| bobweaver | Deluxo, maybe tell others in #ubuntu-unity ? | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | dr_willis: actually it's a Mach microkernel, with a userland somewhat derived from FreeBSD | 17:18 |
| Deluxo | sure | 17:18 |
| Deluxo | going there now | 17:18 |
| thelinux | decbot: Exactly, name itself says it, but people always tell otherwise. | 17:18 |
| dnk123 | how do you setup an ubuntu server that allows ubuntu desktops to login (like the windows Active Directory) and allows them to access their home directories | 17:18 |
| Deluxo | bobweaver: Sure going there now | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | gordonjcp: all stuff i dont worry about. :) since i wont own a mac. | 17:18 |
| === desu is now known as xDemonic | ||
| bobweaver | Deluxo, there is also auto testing things like UTAH that are out there | 17:18 |
| gordonjcp | dr_willis: the point is, they don't run BSD | 17:18 |
| piglit | dr_willis: i'll google them | 17:18 |
| bekks | dnk123: By creating multiple accounts on the box the users log in at. | 17:18 |
| piglit | thanx | 17:18 |
| dnk123 | so i cant create user accounts on the server so people can sign in on a client machine | 17:19 |
| decbot | gordonjcp: gftp supporst ssh2, yeah, I know what you mean | 17:19 |
| gaetano | decbot: so with wine i can even run photoshop cs6? | 17:19 |
| thelinux | bobweaver: He should try crossweaver, they giveaway now free copy of it. | 17:19 |

| gordonjcp | decbot: you can do some sneaky deployment tricks with git, too ;-) | 17:19 |
| ArchOpenBox | dr_willis: your right ,but think of how easy it was to port over linux code to mac run BSD. | 17:19 |
| neweruser123 | nooooooooooooo still no sound | 17:20 |
| neweruser123 | i switched to ubuntu desktop | 17:20 |
| thelinux | gaetano: Download crossweaver, they giveaway now free copies of it. | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | neweruser123: and you ran that pavucontrol tool? | 17:20 |
| raj | how do I uninstall a ppa installed package? | 17:20 |
| neweruser123 | wait il run it now | 17:20 |
| bobweaver | thelinux, I have never tried crossover But I do hear good things also on that project | 17:20 |
| ArchOpenBox | thelinux: 24 hrs is up. :( | 17:20 |
| ThinkT510 | !ppa-purge | raj | 17:20 |
| ubottu | raj: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:20 |

| dr_willis | neweruser123: that was sort of the whole point of going to unity was to run that tool. ;) | 17:20 |
| thelinux | ArchOpenBox: I can send you my free copy if you want it? | 17:20 |
| neweruser123 | pavucontrol is pulseaudiocontrol right? | 17:21 |
| raj | ThinkT510, `sudo: ppa-purge: command not found` | 17:21 |
| decbot | gaetano: winedb.org has the offical answers. I've ran Photoshop CS5.5 in wine, and I know Illustrator in CS5.5 will not run, but I havent tried dreamweaver | 17:21 |
| ArchOpenBox | thelinux: hmm... would love it! is it a tar ball? | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | neweruser123: no.. its pavucontrol | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | run pavucontrol from the terminal... | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | no idea what the icons may be named... | 17:21 |

| gaetano | decbot: ok! thank u for help! | 17:26 |
| ArchOpenBox | thelinux: bin is fine! ;) | 17:26 |
| jrib | raj: that's package responsible for it. If you do « sudo apt-get autoremove » that package should get removed (assuming when you installed nginx, you just requested the "nginx" package). But you can also just go ahead and remove the nginx-full package explicitly if you prefer | 17:27 |
| thelinux | ArchOpenbBox: I'm sending accept it ;) | 17:27 |

| neweruser123 | ok how can I delete Ubuntu from my harddrive | 17:37 |
| Jeregge343 | sory, anybody have link with drivers to ubuntu | 17:38 |
| thelinux | neweruser123: Format it over BIOS | 17:38 |
| Kiranvotio | <neweruser123> install windows ] | 17:38 |
| Jeregge343 | to main board | 17:38 |
| neweruser123 | Kiranvotio: i already got both dualboot | 17:38 |
| Jeregge343 | sorry for my bad english | 17:38 |
| neweruser123 | would I go into harddrive partitioner and delete all ubuntu partitions | 17:38 |
| thelinux | Jeregge343: I don't think you need drivers for motherboard, Linux will usually work out of the box. | 17:39 |
| Jisawesome_ | I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki | 17:39 |
| ArchOpenBox | neweruser123: can delete partition in windows.. with partition manager | 17:39 |
| Jeregge343 | ok thx | 17:39 |
| neweruser123 | but if i turn on the PC, it will have GRUB installed wont it | 17:39 |
| neweruser123 | and not the default boot | 17:39 |
| Kiranvotio | if you are planning to install fresh windows then it'll work if you format ubuntu parttions it will posr a grub problem | 17:39 |
| Jeregge343 | anybody zna polski?? | 17:39 |
| Kiranvotio | newuser123 | 17:39 |
| Deluxo | nie | 17:39 |
| neweruser123 | i need to remove grub + ubuntu | 17:39 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: What drivers were you worried about? The only things that sometimes need addition files/drivers are certain wifi or sound cards. And those can (usually) be fixed by apt-get installing the right firmware package. | 17:40 |
| Jeregge343 | och sorry nie wiedziałem | 17:40 |
| kyle__ | neweruser123: You need to re-install another bootloader if you want to remove grub. | 17:40 |
| Kiranvotio | thats not possible newuser123 | 17:40 |
| Jeregge343 | i need driver to souncard | 17:40 |
| neweruser123 | the default windows bootloader? | 17:40 |
| Jeregge343 | *soundcard | 17:40 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: Do you know which soundcard it is? | 17:40 |
| Kiranvotio | how to install another bootloader kyle_ ? | 17:40 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: lspci will help. | 17:40 |
| ArchOpenBox | neweruser123: hope you backed up system! :) | 17:41 |
| neweruser123 | i have no important files | 17:41 |
| handuel | 'ello | 17:41 |
| kyle__ | Kiranvotio: No idea. I'm still bitter about grub replacing lilo. | 17:41 |
| thelinux | Jeregge343: Why do you need drivers? Almost every hardware works out of the box. | 17:41 |
| wilee-nilee | neweruser123, What windows release do you have right now? | 17:41 |
| Kiranvotio | <handuel> hello | 17:41 |
| neweruser123 | windows 7 | 17:41 |
| neweruser123 | i might get 8 not sure.. | 17:41 |
| JohnJ | I am trying to make a live boot device with 12.10 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). I downloaded Ubuntu, followed the instructions to create a bootable USB stick which all worked successfully, however the computer says it cannot read the device. So I tried burning a CD with the boot image (again, as per instructions) and again the computer does not recognise it. Any idea what's up? | 17:41 |
| Jeregge343 | kyle this is integrated in msi g41m-p28 | 17:42 |
| handuel | I really wouldn't get windows 8 | 17:42 |
| Jisawesome_ | I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki | 17:42 |
| neweruser123 | il be back in ubuntu in 1 year to see if the audio problem is fixed... | 17:42 |
| neweruser123 | for now i just need to remove it | 17:42 |
| Kiranvotio | <kyle__> i faced that probem many times everytime i left with the option of linux or windows fresh installation | 17:42 |
| wilee-nilee | neweruser123, If you do not have a install disc go to baskup in W7 and make a recovery disc for loading the MS bootloader. | 17:42 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: are you on Ubuntu Server or Desktop? | 17:42 |
| ArchOpenBox | neweruser123: Not in my lifetime windows 8 has major problems. | 17:42 |
| Jisawesome_ | ubuntu server | 17:42 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: Have you installed linux yet, or are you waiting until you know if there is a sound driver for that card? | 17:42 |
| handuel | aetcore: he said server | 17:42 |
| neweruser123 | ok forget win8, il stick to 7 | 17:43 |
| Kiranvotio | newuser123 problem can be solved | 17:43 |
| Jeregge343 | no i not | 17:43 |
| neweruser123 | how Kiranvotio | 17:43 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: are you on a public network or private network? | 17:43 |

| === andrea is now known as VLanX | ||
| handuel | neweruser123: : what soundcard is it | 17:44 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: everyone on your wifi should be able to see your web server, however you need to port forward your router if you want anyone outside of your wifi to see your webserver | 17:44 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: It's got onboard Intel ICH7 audio. THat's worked out of the box for years. You don't need anything special, just install. | 17:44 |
| neweruser123 | i dont know its a graphics card to monitor | 17:44 |
| neweruser123 | xfx HD 6870 | 17:44 |
| neweruser123 | monitor has built in speakers | 17:44 |
| Jisawesome_ | Thanks aetcore | 17:45 |
| handuel | neweruser123: what model of computer | 17:45 |
| neweruser123 | amd motherboard socket FM1 (APU) | 17:45 |
| neweruser123 | its a custom build | 17:45 |
| handuel | neweruser: ah... | 17:45 |
| neweruser123 | yh? | 17:45 |
| Jeregge343 | thx | 17:45 |
| handuel | neweruser123: that makes things more tricky with drivers | 17:46 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: lol still going? how long have you had ubuntu installed? you could install it from scratch using gnome and you *might* get a little further | 17:46 |
| leon1984 | Excuse,when i used the firefox after a period of time,i can't open the right click menu and drop-down menu.How to solve it? My system is ubuntu 12.04 | 17:46 |
| handuel | neweruser123: you must have a sound card though | 17:46 |
| neweruser123 | handuel: built in audio i use | 17:46 |
| neweruser123 | aetcore: i can do that from scratch but how? | 17:46 |
| aetcore | handuel: hes using his moniter, and hes using hdmi, which falls under some gfx drivers | 17:47 |
| handuel | aetcore: ah kk | 17:47 |
| handuel | neweruser123: do u know what graphics card it is | 17:47 |
| Jeregge343 | i have one more question | 17:47 |
| kyle__ | aetcore: Hu. I never actually looked into how to set that up (audio over hdmi). Have you? | 17:47 |
| neweruser123 | yes its HD 6870 brand is XFX | 17:47 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: Shoot. | 17:47 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: i was suggesting you download the iso, burn it to USB and try reinstalling directly, OR actually i have a better idea | 17:48 |
| aetcore | have you got the live cd? | 17:48 |
| neweruser123 | i can burn a new CD | 17:48 |
| Jeregge343 | wher i can scherch driver to hp laserjet 3150 | 17:48 |
| aetcore | boot into the live cd, which will load the drivers for your card anyway | 17:48 |
| handuel | kyl__ come to think of it I have audio from my monitor, it just worked out of the box though, so I never thought about it | 17:48 |
| blazemore | How can I edit the items that start up after login, but from the terminal? | 17:48 |
| aetcore | then load up chrome and go play some tunes on youtube | 17:48 |
| neweruser123 | ok | 17:49 |
| rephy222 | what does apt-get autoremove do?? | 17:49 |
| aetcore | kyle__: no i havnt, not yet anyway | 17:49 |
| subman | Any idea why I would not be able to open up ports 6666-6669? I have opened succcessfully | 17:49 |
| blazemore | I have an Ubuntu box plugged into my TV and I want to autoload XBMC but I have no keyboard and mouse. I do have ssh access though | 17:49 |
| Kiranvotio | x | 17:49 |
| neweruser123 | I need to install the AMD/ATI Catalyst driver can someone tell me how | 17:49 |
| wols | Jeregge343: http://www.openprinting.org/printers | 17:49 |
| subman | Any idea why I would not be able to open up ports 6666-6669? I have opened successfully many other ports but these I don't seem to be able to. | 17:49 |
| blazemore | neweruser123: search in the Dash for "jockey" | 17:49 |
| Kiranvotio | quit | 17:49 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: Is it a business printer? | 17:50 |
| Jeregge343 | oh thx | 17:50 |
| thelinux | blazemore: Check Ubuntu TV is you own a Smart TV. | 17:50 |
| blazemore | Kiranvotio: you want /quit | 17:50 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: by using the live cd you will be able to find out if gnome + ati drivers will support your HDMI cable, otherwise you might be stuck soundless, unless you start to custom patch your kernel etc | 17:50 |
| thelinux | blazemore: if* | 17:50 |
| jrib | subman: you should say how you are trying to open them since no ports are blocked on ubuntu by default | 17:50 |
| wols | Jeregge343: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_3150 | 17:50 |
| blazemore | thelinux: No it's just a normal TV, I just am using a small PC as a media centre | 17:50 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: if the default packages arent working that might be the only way (Kernel patching) | 17:50 |
| neweruser123 | il reinstall ubuntu gnome or unity | 17:50 |
| handuel | jrib: im pretty certain ports are blocked on ubuntu | 17:50 |
| blazemore | I just want it to autoload XBMC but have no keyboard and mouse. I do have shell access | 17:50 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: you dont have to go through all of that | 17:50 |
| neweruser123 | its quicker | 17:51 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: Looked it up it's not supported on anything but windows. Shame. THey used to all support PCL or PS emulation. | 17:51 |
| aetcore | if you just use the livecd to boot you will find out sooner | 17:51 |
| jrib | handuel: no services are running by default, sure. But there are no firewall rules up by default. | 17:51 |
| Kiranvotio | no | 17:51 |
| thelinux | blazemore: Ok. I've been using XBMC. | 17:51 |
| Jeregge343 | sorry bat i don't now what you mean 'buissnes printer' | 17:51 |
| handuel | jrib: no, newer releases use ufw, which blocks ports | 17:51 |
| jrib | handuel: hmm | 17:51 |
| aetcore | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD | 17:51 |
| aquethys | Does anyone know how to boot into BIOS to boot from CD on an hp pavilion dv6-7043? I've tried holding F2/F10 @ startup and it doesn't work...one of them even makes my computer display a screeching sound. | 17:51 |
| handuel | jrib: I had to open port 80 with sudo ufw allow 80 to use my webserver | 17:51 |
| Fraz | hi | 17:51 |

| aquethys | brb | 17:52 |
| Fraz | why would i be getting sscrambled up graphics in ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| kyle__ | Jeregge343: If you want to look at which printers are supported by CUPS (and theirfore linux, OSX, BSD, etc) look at http://www.openprinting.org/printers | 17:52 |
| kyle__ | wols: I see you somewhat beat me to that. | 17:52 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: can you run it? | 17:52 |
| jrib | handuel: on what? 12.10? | 17:52 |
| neweruser123 | aetcore: how do i run it? | 17:52 |

| wols | jrib: threw me too. couldn't believe it | 17:53 |
| kyle__ | wols: If you have the right firmware on the jet direct card you can network-scan from it still..... I know. Doesn't help much. | 17:53 |
| Kiranvotio | <Fraz>:hi | 17:53 |
| handuel | change to file location with cd | 17:53 |

| handuel | neweruser123: where did you save the file | 17:54 |
| neweruser123 | handuel: now what | 17:54 |
| neweruser123 | amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:54 |
| handuel | neweruser123: in wat folder though | 17:54 |
| neweruser123 | here /home/tan/Downloads/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:54 |
| wols | handuel: amd.com drivers? from their website? | 17:54 |
| handuel | ah kk | 17:54 |
| handuel | type in cd /home/tan/Downloads/ | 17:54 |
| wols | that poor kid gets one bad advice after the other. damn, #ubuntu lives up to its reputation | 17:54 |
| handuel | and then chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:55 |
| wols | handuel: sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:55 |
| aetcore | wols: lol :D | 17:55 |
| handuel | and then ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:55 |
| handuel | wols: wat do u mean about bad advice | 17:55 |
| Fraz | so any idea about why im getting scrambled up text and buttons? | 17:55 |
| handuel | wols: he asked me how to run the file and I'm telling him | 17:55 |
| wols | handuel: I mean you should be +q asap. even when I soon will get it probably | 17:55 |
| wols | handuel: you are a danger to the public in other words | 17:56 |
| handuel | wols: what have I done wrong | 17:56 |
| neweruser123 | bash: cd: /home/tan/downloads/: No such file or directory | 17:56 |
| wols | handuel: yes, and when the next ubuntu update of kernel or Xorg comes around he will have a problem | 17:56 |
| wols | handuel: why does a 6870 need drivers from amd.com? | 17:56 |
| handuel | wols: I didn't tell him to use the drivers | 17:56 |
| aetcore | hdmi sound | 17:56 |
| handuel | wols: he merely asked me how to run the file | 17:56 |
| wols | handuel: you are enabling him | 17:56 |
| n1 | how to locate thunderbird dir? tried wia termianl, tried via "search" + checked "Show hidden files"? | 17:56 |
| handuel | wols: which I told him correctly | 17:56 |
| Jeregge343 | Kyle | 17:56 |
| wols | aetcore: ok, and the fglrx drivers from ubuntu have no hdmi sound? | 17:57 |
| aetcore | nope | 17:57 |
| aetcore | not that i know of at least | 17:57 |
| wols | aetcore: why would they miss those? | 17:57 |
| handuel | nouveau had hdmi sound for me :D | 17:57 |
| handuel | why doesn't he just use nouveau | 17:57 |
| wols | aetcore: note: fglrx, not radeon | 17:57 |
| wols | handuel: cause he has a 6870 | 17:57 |
| handuel | ah kk | 17:57 |
| handuel | oops | 17:58 |
| neweruser123 | the ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run doesnt work | 17:58 |
| neweruser123 | im in the correct CD location | 17:58 |
| neweruser123 | " Permission denied" | 17:58 |
| handuel | use chmod +x filename | 17:58 |
| handuel | then run it | 17:58 |
| compdoc | need sudo? | 17:58 |
| wols | handuel: sh filename | 17:58 |
| handuel | and run it with sudo | 17:59 |
| subman | jrib, It is forwarded through my dsl modem to my router to the computer. | 17:59 |
| aetcore | wols: i chriped in when he said he was using kde, so my suggestion was instead of reinstalling anything (because he wasnt getting anywhere) was to boot live cd and try see if Ubuntu natively gave him HDMI sound, not some other wierd build he had going on | 17:59 |
| neweruser123 | wait so" sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run" | 17:59 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 18:00 |
| neweruser123 | ok its working | 18:00 |
| aetcore | but as wols has suggested it might not fix the issue | 18:00 |
| handuel | wols: is there any reason to use sh filename as apposed to ./filename | 18:00 |
| aetcore | and flgx as he suggested might be a better course of action | 18:00 |
| raj | when I add `ppa:nginx/stable` to my ubuntu repo, and then `sudo apt-get install nginx`, I still end up with 0.8.54, even after i `sudo apt-get update` | 18:00 |
| bekks | neweruser123: Most likely, you will have issues now whenever you upgrade the kernel. | 18:00 |
| wols | handuel: yes, you don't need to +x it | 18:00 |
| handuel | wols: ah kk | 18:01 |
| wols | handuel: one less command to enter wrongly for neweruser123 | 18:01 |
| wols | neweruser123: and when X upgrades | 18:01 |
| neweruser123 | noooooo it says " a prevoiu sinstall of the fglrx driver has been detected" | 18:01 |
| aetcore | im ubuntu server, and archlinux for desktop, so a lot of low level stuff i know about specifcally Ubuntu and its Desktop, and or packages surrounding it im not an expert in | 18:01 |
| wols | neweruser123: and you can get this driver from ubuntu directly, installing it like any other package | 18:01 |
| wols | !ati | neweruser123 | 18:01 |
| ubottu | neweruser123: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 18:01 |
| neweruser123 | it says i either remove the old one or --force | 18:01 |
| neweruser123 | wols: i want the latest AMD one though | 18:01 |
| wols | neweruser123: that's a very stupid thing to do, especially for you | 18:02 |
| wols | and for your videocard utterly useless | 18:02 |
| neweruser123 | i installed the post-release update | 18:03 |
| handuel | neweruser123: wols is right, drivers are always better using package manager | 18:03 |
| neweruser123 | from jockey | 18:03 |
| aetcore | lol, wols play nice | 18:03 |
| wols | aetcore: I was a lot more explicit earlier actually calling people names who deserved it | 18:03 |
| wols | and everyone in here is doing stupid things, so do it | 18:03 |

| dakine | Hey, so why is it that every time I try to chmod +x something so I can run it, it *never* works? | 18:03 |
| handuel | dakine: as wols stated you can usually use sh, and how do u mean it doesn't work | 18:04 |
| aetcore | while i admit, some of the advice given or the questions asked are questionable, #ubuntu is for people to learn at the end the day :) | 18:04 |
| neweruser123 | will this mean ubuntu will never be able to be used for gaming | 18:04 |
| yeats | dakine: cna you elaborate? | 18:04 |
| wols | dakine: do you own the file(s)? | 18:04 |
| aetcore | neweruser123: not for a long time | 18:04 |
| wols | neweruser123: no that doesn't mean it. | 18:04 |
| dakine | i own the file | 18:04 |
| handuel | neweruser123: I use ubuntu for gaming | 18:04 |

| dakine | Sorry, it's not a jar - it's a shell script that requires java (which I have and all). When I try to run it with ./ it gives me permission denied - so I see that it's not executable - so I try to sudo chmod +x it, and it still does not let me run it with error 'permission denied'. Again, I own the file. | 18:07 |

| neweruser123 | ok restarting now... | 18:08 |
| handuel | n1: it's in $HOME/.thunderbird | 18:08 |
| jrib | raj: so you did not add a repository with the package "nginx" in it (either you did not add the repository correctly, or you forgot to run apt-get update, or the repository does not have a "nginx" package) | 18:08 |
| aetcore | t.bird, isnt that Thunderbird? and didnt that get the axe? | 18:08 |

| phillllijw | Why does compiz use so much processing power and RAM? Do I need to configure my graphics drivers or something? | 18:17 |
| phillllijw | Everything seems slow to move on screen | 18:17 |
| aetcore | i have an actual question i have been thinking about, lets say you have a server running an older version of ubuntu, is it consider good practise to distro-upgrade? or would it be better to have a clean slate? | 18:17 |
| handuel | phillllijw: you might need to use propietry graphics drivers | 18:17 |
| handuel | otherwise use metacity | 18:17 |
| phillllijw | what's metacity | 18:17 |
| handuel | another window manager | 18:18 |
| handuel | press alt+f2 then run metacity --replace | 18:18 |
| handuel | you get less good effects, but its very fast | 18:18 |
| yeats | aetcore: it really depends on your individual situation, but yes, it's good practice to keep an up-to-date OS installed | 18:18 |
| yeats | aetcore: wait - you mean upgrade vs. fresh install? | 18:19 |
| phillllijw | Hmm... Should I check dmesg to see what graphics card I have? | 18:19 |
| ThinkT510 | aetcore: fresh installs are usually best | 18:19 |

| yeats | aetcore: again, it depends on what you're doing. sometimes upgrades do fine, but if you've done a lot of customizing for the programs you're running breakage is very possible | 18:20 |
| codemaniac | handuel: is lshw available by default ? | 18:20 |
| wilee-nilee | yes | 18:20 |
| handuel | codemaniac: I think so, people ask for output from it on launchpad answers all the time (including me) | 18:21 |
| aetcore | yeats: ok thanks, that kinda what i thought, some guys at work just upgraded 12 servers, and we have seen some pretty bizarre issues come from it, but most of the servers arent heavily customised, its support my argument for chef, or puppet | 18:21 |

| aquethys | Hi, I successfully booted Ubuntu CD on my HP Pavilion. I get all the way to install alongside windows. However after that it tells me to remove all installation media and press enter. However then after I hit enter it reboots into windows...what's wrong? | 18:25 |
| wols | phillllijw: then rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X | 18:25 |
| wols | phillllijw: why would you even run X -configure? | 18:25 |
| handuel | phillllijw, can you post cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf to ubunts paste | 18:25 |
| phillllijw | wols, I need the file there for my mouse buttons | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, Open gparted take a screenshot and imagebin it. | 18:26 |
| aquethys | what's gparted | 18:26 |
| aetcore | lol this channel is awesome lol :D | 18:26 |
| wols | phillllijw: that doesn't explain it. you can write your mouse config there without doing X -configure to create a full blown config | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, You got ubuntu ninstalled? | 18:26 |
| aquethys | no | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | installed* | 18:26 |
| wols | aquethys: a partitioning utility | 18:26 |
| aquethys | I can only | 18:26 |
| aquethys | boot from | 18:26 |
| phillllijw | wols, well I can just delete the display sections then? | 18:26 |
| phillllijw | handuel, yeah in a sec | 18:26 |
| wols | phillllijw: yes. you can delete everything but your mouse config | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, gparted is the partitioning app in the live cd. | 18:27 |
| phillllijw | wols, that may be the solution then | 18:27 |
| dooglus | I'm trying to install ubuntuon a neighbour's desktop machine. windows is v. slow on it. it has 3 boot options: hdd, fdd, cd. whatcan I do? the .iso for 12.10 is bigger than a CD | 18:27 |
| aquethys | cd. I run the installation but then after I select install alongside Windows and hit enter then it takes me to a screen that says remove all media and press enter | 18:27 |
| wols | dooglus: install 12.04 | 18:27 |
| Jisawesome_ | now that I have opened port 80, what do I do | 18:27 |
| aetcore | did Newnew ever make it back? | 18:27 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, This W7? | 18:27 |
| aquethys | I have the same computer as this guy here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073713 | 18:27 |
| aquethys | Yes I'm on W7 | 18:27 |
| wols | aetcore: very doubtful | 18:27 |
| aetcore | wols: :( | 18:28 |
| dooglus | wols: is that the last release of ubuntu that will support old computers? do you have an alt distro you know of that still loads on old machines please? | 18:28 |
| phillllijw | wols, if I want to add dual monito setup at some point, will I want to keep those sections? | 18:28 |
| wols | dooglus: no. but it's a LTS which is (imho) a good idea for newbies to ubuntu | 18:28 |
| wols | phillllijw: should work without just fine | 18:28 |
| Matikos | damn internet connection | 18:28 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, The best way is to have windows resize itself with the its disk manager leaving a unallocated space for ubuntu, but it would be nice to see if you have room for how many additional patitions there is a limit on a single HD. | 18:29 |
| dooglus | just spent an hour downloading 12.10- for them. grrrr | 18:29 |
| wols | dooglus: and as a bonus it should fit on a CD :) also: if you install 12.04 you can immediately upgrade to 12.10 if you wish, but I wouldn't | 18:29 |
| Matikos | i made an amd64 usb stick and booted it up | 18:29 |
| aquethys | So i'll screenshot disk manager.. | 18:29 |
| Matikos | got into grub, but when i pick an option i just get a blank screen | 18:29 |
| phillllijw | wols, since we're already on this topic... how does the "new" xorg configuration work then? Does it just figure out what you need? | 18:29 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, Seeing gparted will tell us the partition amount before you do anything. | 18:29 |
| freee | hi | 18:30 |
| dooglus | wols thanks for your help. what do you wuggest for burning .iso to CD? | 18:30 |
| wols | phillllijw: yes. and only if it gets it wrong or you want a special driver like fglrx, you need to configure it manually | 18:30 |
| aquethys | So how if I boot the CD and hit Try ubuntu I can screenshot gparted? how? | 18:30 |
| aquethys | is it something in terminal? | 18:30 |
| wols | dooglus: on which OS? if windows: imgburn | 18:30 |
| phillllijw | wols, I think it was automatically selecting fglrx before | 18:30 |
| aetcore | wols: your on fire | 18:30 |
| dooglus | wols ubuntu 12.10 | 18:30 |
| aquethys | Would it work if I screenshot Disk Utility too in W7 or not? | 18:30 |
| aquethys | Thanks for your help so far :) | 18:30 |
| wols | aquethys: ubuntu live cd boots to a gui. but there also is parted which works in console. not sure if it's on the ubuntu cd tho | 18:30 |
| handuel | dooglus: for old computers i reccomend lubuntu | 18:30 |
| handuel | dooglus: basically the same, just different interface and faster | 18:31 |
| wols | dooglus: then whatever ubuntu uses for burning CDs. no clue myself | 18:31 |
| dooglus | handuel: is there a CD-sized .iso for 12.10 or it? | 18:31 |
| Matikos | is ther e a reason that would be failing to boot? | 18:31 |
| wols | dooglus: do you know what hardware your neighbour has? lubuntu or xubuntu might be a very good idea | 18:31 |
| aetcore | Matikos: you might be missing grub | 18:31 |

| aetcore | oh i see | 18:32 |
| handuel | dooglus: I think lubuntu will fit on a cd yes | 18:32 |
| wols | Matikos: how did you create this USB stick? | 18:32 |
| sica | I have dell inspiron N5110, and I can't manage to install nvidia drivers to make HDMI work | 18:32 |
| handuel | Jisawesome: have you gone on your wifi configuration page and port forwaded | 18:32 |
| Matikos | i downloaded the amd64 image of 12.10 and used lili to make the stuck | 18:32 |
| wols | Jisawesome_: you have a router. you need to portforward port 80 in your router | 18:32 |
| Jisawesome_ | yes | 18:32 |
| Jisawesome_ | I did that | 18:32 |
| dooglus | hmm. xubuntu does too. thanks - that's a good idea | 18:33 |
| wols | Jisawesome_: your ISP might block ports. try to use port 8888 | 18:33 |
| Matikos | wols: i downloaded the amd64 image of 12.10 and used lili to make the stuick | 18:33 |
| sica | also I have ubuntu 12.10 installed, and the nvidia card is GT 525 | 18:33 |
| Archio | Is there any way to get Ubuntu's default g++ to show line numbers for errors? As of now I just get "file.cpp:(.text+0x653): error" instead of "file.cpp: (line 5): error". | 18:33 |
| Jisawesome_ | The I am using is the 192.168 one | 18:33 |
| aquethys | brb I'll screenshot gparted | 18:33 |
| Jisawesome_ | SHoudl I be using a different one | 18:33 |
| handuel | Archio: I think that's a linker error, not a compilation error | 18:33 |
| dooglus | handuel: would you recommend lubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 for newbies? | 18:34 |
| brown12 | Hi all. Problem w/ upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. Separate home partition. New install has a /home directory that is apparently not the correct disk partition /dev/sdx. Cannot login or access files. Help? Suggestions? Many thanks in advance. | 18:34 |
| handuel | dooglus: yes, it's easier to use than ubuntu IMHO | 18:34 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: your port forward will be something like * 80 (or 8888) -> 192.168.x.xxx | 18:34 |
| dooglus | handuel: I mean which of those 2? | 18:34 |
| Archio | @handuel So those errors would show up like that on any platform? | 18:34 |
| wols | !recovery | 18:34 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 18:34 |
| Jisawesome_ | I already port forwarded | 18:34 |
| handuel | dooglus: both | 18:34 |
| ThinkT510 | dooglus: depends on if you want 5 years or 18 months support | 18:34 |
| aetcore | whatver the server ip is | 18:34 |
| Jisawesome_ | But is that the right IP? It looks like one for only local | 18:34 |
| wols | brown12: you boot the recovery system and fix it in there since you are/can be root there automatically without login | 18:35 |
| handuel | Archio, paste your cpp file to ubuntu paste and I'll attempt compilation | 18:35 |
| aetcore | yes you will use your local one | 18:35 |
| aetcore | the server local one | 18:35 |
| brown12 | @wols thanks | 18:35 |
| dooglus | handuel: hmm. I'm not seeing any peers for lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso | 18:35 |
| wols | Jisawesome_: do it for port 8888 instead | 18:35 |
| Jisawesome_ | Why | 18:35 |
| Jisawesome_ | Aetcore, the one that shows up in ifconfig? | 18:35 |
| handuel | dooglus: you might have to not torrent it | 18:35 |
| wols | cause many ISPs block port 80 | 18:35 |
| brown12 | Is it FSTAB that needs to be fixed to set /home to the old partition? | 18:35 |
| wols | brown12: yes | 18:36 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: yes, but use a different port as wols has suggested | 18:36 |
| brown12 | Any simple FAQs for how to configure? -Thanks again @wols | 18:36 |

| Eagleman | Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed 1 or 2 hours? | 18:36 |
| Jisawesome_ | I havent actually tried it since I port forwarded, I just assumed you needed to do something else | 18:37 |
| handuel | anyone know why fira can't connect, they keep trying | 18:37 |
| dooglus | maybe some kind soul/s could seed http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent for me? | 18:37 |
| handuel | dooglus: how do you seed a torrent, I have fast internet | 18:37 |
| wols | brown12: I don't know a simple one. /dev/sdaX /home ext3 0 2 these are not spaces in between but tabs btw | 18:37 |
| Matikos | wols: any ideas? I can't get past grub to try and install an efi compatible 12.10 | 18:37 |
| aetcore | Jisawesome_: after the portforward is in place you should be able to connect to your server | 18:37 |
| dooglus | handuel: run transmission, open http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent, wait | 18:37 |

| sarawara | codemaniac, dienshunds helped me and it works now, thank you for your time, bye | 18:37 |
| wols | Matikos: use yumi | 18:37 |
| Matikos | wols: yumi? | 18:38 |
| brown12 | And then what about the login process? Will the users be configured or do I have to mess with /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group | 18:38 |
| wols | !nvidia | sica | 18:38 |
| ubottu | sica: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 18:38 |
| dooglus | handuel: if you already have a copy of the .iso file, put it in your Downloads/ folder before doing that - then transmission won't need to download a copy first | 18:38 |
| sl3ax | handuel: i couldn't remove it | 18:38 |
| dooglus | it wil check your copy is correct, then share it with me and others | 18:38 |
| wols | brown12: no messing. try to press ctrl+alt+f1 on your ubuntu and log in there first. might actually work | 18:38 |
| handuel | dooglus: I don't have the iso sorry, but I've started the download | 18:38 |
| sica | ok, thx | 18:38 |
| brown12 | Sadly no the tty1 did ont work. The hostname is wrong and the usernames are wrong. | 18:39 |
| dooglus | handuel: hopefully my transmission will connect to yours and grab bits of the iso as youdownload it. | 18:39 |
| Matikos | wols: I see it. I'll give it a try. last time I made a stick i used lili | 18:39 |
| handuel | dooglus: it's started, 9 of 24 peers, not sure why your not getting any | 18:39 |
| brown12 | In my supreme wisdom I managed to wreck the password for the new user I created and cannot login. | 18:39 |
| brown12 | Thanks @wols I will give it a whirl. Have to boot over to try. | 18:39 |

| handuel | dooglus: :( | 18:41 |
| aquethys | I'm booted in Ubuntu now 12.10 | 18:41 |
| handuel | dooglus: wrong smile :D I meant :) | 18:42 |
| compdoc | we dont allow smiling in here - this is serious!! | 18:42 |
| dooglus | handuel: the speed is all coming from one peer - and it has a different IP that you're IRCing from | 18:42 |
| handuel | dooglus: maybe you've not found me | 18:42 |
| dooglus | handuel: I guess not | 18:43 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, So as of now you have the maximum allowed of primary partitions, you can add no more, you will have to loose one to install ubuntu, Do you have a external HD to make a backup image to? | 18:43 |
| aquethys | nope | 18:43 |
| handuel | dooglus: I've got 46 seconds remaining :D | 18:43 |
| aquethys | But I can delete a partition if needed | 18:43 |
| aquethys | Really no important files on my Windows | 18:43 |
| aquethys | Just want to keep Windows | 18:43 |
| dooglus | shame there's no "connect to specific peer" menu entry in transmission | 18:43 |
| dooglus | for when I know your IP address, and want to clue it in that you'refast | 18:43 |
| handuel | dooglus, I've done, I'm now seeding it | 18:44 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, That makes things harder, you have a boot partition, C a recovery and the HP tools, all important in their own use, basically. | 18:44 |
| dooglus | handuel: you are sharing the file as soon as you start downloading it - well, as soon as you have one full block of it | 18:44 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, Do you have a backup at all? | 18:44 |
| aquethys | nope | 18:44 |
| dooglus | handuel: 'seeding' just means you're no longer downloading - you were sharing all along | 18:44 |
| aquethys | I use my External HD | 18:44 |
| aquethys | for my macbook | 18:44 |
| handuel | dooglus: I know, I was just telling you that I left the window open, and was leaving it seeding | 18:45 |
| wols | aquethys: that's not what he asked. do you have backups of all important files? | 18:45 |
| sl3ax | can anyone tell me how can i remove the print icon on the unity-panel-2e on ubuntu 12.04? http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2919/unitypanel2d.png | 18:45 |
| dooglus | handuel: thanks for doing that | 18:45 |
| aquethys | nope I don't | 18:45 |
| aquethys | Don't have any big external HD drives to back them up either | 18:45 |
| aquethys | only like Google Drive, Dropbox | 18:45 |
| phillllijw | wols handuel -- thanks guys. Seems like removing those sections from xorg.conf was all I needed to do | 18:46 |
| handuel | dooglus: i'm seeding to 0 peers though :( | 18:46 |
| handuel | phillllijw, it's only wols you've got to think, I only gave confusing info along the way | 18:46 |
| bretolius | how do I install a newer version of a program? For example, I am running 12.10, but would like to install a version of a program from the raring ringtail release: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-annex | 18:46 |
| bretolius | or I guess its the proposed version | 18:46 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, Personally I have to get to some other work, and wont really ave the time to walk you through all of this, so maybe another will. YOU might just want to install a wubi while you brush up on what you want to do to have a dual boot. The wubi can be transferred to a partiton once you know what to do. | 18:47 |
| handuel | dooglus: try right clicking the file and selecting ask tracker for more peers | 18:47 |
| aquethys | oh okay | 18:47 |
| aquethys | so just install wubi | 18:47 |
| aquethys | w/ windows? | 18:47 |
| phillllijw | On to another problem... | 18:47 |
| Groupers | Hi, I'm having an issue with fan speed on 12.10 with all the latest updates. The fan speed changes according to temperature or load or whatever like it normally would for a while but then it seems randomly it gets stuck at 100% and my computer is awfully load. Restarting fixes it for a while and then it happens again. | 18:47 |
| Groupers | *load = loud | 18:47 |
| phillllijw | Each time I login to unity, I receive a message saying something crashed. It asks me to send an error report but when I try, it says I gave the incorrect root password after 3 tries. "Failed to run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as user root- Wrong Password" | 18:48 |
| handuel | philllijw: thats usually old log files try running sudo rm -R /var/crash | 18:48 |
| wilee-nilee | aquethys, That is just an idea, the problem here is HP filled the HD with the max amount of partitions, sothis is an easy fix for one that knows how to deal with this, but for a beginner it can be confusing. | 18:48 |
| handuel | dooglus: how long you got left | 18:49 |
| Groupers | I have some temperature monitoring software installed but nothing (CPU cores/GPU) is above 34C and the fans (or fan?) are/is still running fast | 18:49 |

| handuel | dooglus: ah good | 18:50 |
| === phillllijw is now known as phillijw | ||
| phillijw | handuel, ah yes. Looks like it's because I had to do a hard reset a few times | 18:50 |
| wols | phillijw: the important part is what crashed? | 18:50 |
| dooglus | silly desktop claims not to be able to boot from USB stick. is that plausible? | 18:51 |
| wols | Groupers: which cpu? | 18:51 |
| wols | dooglus: only if it's very old, but then yes | 18:51 |
| dooglus | wols: it's a P4 CPU | 18:51 |
| phillijw | wols, when my machine suspends, it doesn't resume. The error log even says that. Looking through it now | 18:51 |
| wilee-nilee | dooglus, Have you tried the post bios boot menu, and is the computer to old to boot a usb? | 18:51 |
| wols | dooglus: possible, especially for a OEM PC | 18:51 |
| dooglus | wilee-nilee: I did. it had weird options: primary disk, C: drive, CDROM, floppy | 18:52 |
| dooglus | wilee-nilee: I'd have thought C: drive and primary disk were the same, but idk | 18:52 |

| Mitchell92 | Hi... any way to get rid of unity and go back to the old gnome 3.2.x interface? | 18:58 |
| handuel | Mitchell92: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 18:59 |
| handuel | then at login select gnome classic | 18:59 |
| wols | phillijw: dpkg -l libc6 gives you a legend on the first few lines. "installed installed" basically | 18:59 |
| wilee-nilee | iceroot, That is a personal opinion please use that option. | 18:59 |
| Mitchell92 | okay... handuel, that will get me back into the "old" ubuntu look? | 18:59 |
| phillijw | ah | 19:00 |
| handuel | Mitchell92: It isn't identical however it's as close as you can easily get | 19:00 |
| handuel | or you could install mate | 19:00 |
| handuel | it's made by linux mint and is identical | 19:00 |
| Mitchell92 | then why not just run mint? | 19:00 |
| An_Ony_Moose | iceroot: thanks | 19:00 |
| An_Ony_Moose | iceroot: all I really needed to know was whether there is any good reason to use the proprietary one | 19:01 |

| An_Ony_Moose | Mitchell92: same. So I go with xfce | 19:02 |
| handuel | Mitchell92: I do as well, I use cinnamon (also from linux mint) | 19:02 |

| mneptok | An_Ony_Moose: the Free implementation is available easily in default repos. install what you need, test stuff, and keep it if it works. overall, it is likely to cause fewer headaches as upgrades and fixes happen. | 19:04 |

| Mitchell92 | i'm there. | 19:05 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 19:05 |
| mneptok | Mitchell92: the GNOME2 look you're asking for is as dead on SUSE as it is Ubuntu or Debian or anything else. | 19:05 |
| mneptok | Mitchell92: XFCE comes close, as others have said. | 19:06 |
| handuel | Mitchell92: if your switching distro I'd use mint | 19:06 |
| bkc_ | kmicu: basically there are 100 different ways of controlling the fan, but I'm start with this one: http://ubuntunewb.blogspot.se/2011/04/how-to-control-fan-speed-on-ubuntu.html | 19:07 |
| mneptok | handuel: personal preferences for other distros is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:07 |
| kmicu | bkc_ i read them all | 19:07 |
| handuel | mneptok: mint gives you gnome 2 though :P | 19:07 |
| bkc_ | kmicu: then what's the problem? :3 | 19:08 |
| mneptok | handuel: no, it gives you Cinnamon. which is not GNOME2. | 19:08 |
| handuel | mneptok: or mate, which is gnome 2 | 19:08 |
| mneptok | handuel: anyhow, it's immaterial. | 19:08 |
| qonk | ok | 19:08 |
| handuel | mneptok: it is not as mate is gnome 2 (or a fork), and is only offered by mint | 19:08 |

| alienaut | hello people. vlc is sizzle for a short minute after play video. but it gets annoying everytime i pause/play video | 19:19 |
| wilee-nilee | jedimind, Yes that is an option, be sure to install the fusion icon and have a launcher for it on the desktop, it is a compiz restart, you will want it. | 19:19 |
| alienaut | any idea | 19:19 |
| handuel | alienaut: how do you mean annoying | 19:19 |
| cortexA9 | because i want to put ubuntu and then kubuntu. | 19:19 |
| cortexA9 | it's possible ? | 19:20 |
| jedimind | wilee-nilee, thanks for the tip | 19:20 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, I have not seen anyone on the channel yet using it but I have a nexus 7 and would not bother personally, not enough ram to begin with. | 19:20 |
| alienaut | Handuel, everytime sound teribly distorted. like a alien. | 19:21 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, At least ram for a fast setup | 19:21 |
| kmicu | bkc_ /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed ;] | 19:21 |
| handuel | I have to go sorry | 19:22 |
| cortexA9 | wilee-nilee, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation | 19:22 |
| alienaut | handuel, i frequently pause and play cause i watch screencast :/ | 19:22 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, The wiki tells you how and if you are familiar with rooting it and running different roms go for it. | 19:22 |
| cortexA9 | ok wilee-nilee i try thanks. | 19:23 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, let us know how it runs! | 19:23 |
| cortexA9 | i have fear :D | 19:24 |
| cortexA9 | to brick lol | 19:24 |
| cortexA9 | because now it's rooted. | 19:25 |
| cortexA9 | :) | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, I use the google nexus 7 toolkit in windows for rooting it is quite nice. | 19:25 |
| cortexA9 | yes me too | 19:26 |
| dooglus | guys, I'm having more trouble. I got a CD burned of lubuntu 12.04, booted it, but now can't get sshd running on the live instance. was going to use it to backup the windows partition before installing lubuntu | 19:26 |
| dooglus | I installed package 'openssh-server', which is usually all I need to do, but it tellsme 'start: unknown job: ssh' when I run 'sudo start ssh' | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | cortexA9, Just have a backup of the stock rom sitting around and your favourite roms, you can brick it but easily fixable. | 19:27 |
| bekks | dooglus: sudo service ssh start | 19:27 |
| wols | dooglus: ssh is the client, not the serevr | 19:27 |
| bekks | the service is named ssh, too. The binary is named sshd. | 19:27 |
| Groupers | wols, i7-860 with P55, the board is a Gigabyte P55A-UD3. I have a stock PWM CPU fan and a PWM case fan plugged in. The only other fans are PSU and GPU | 19:27 |
| dooglus | bekks: same error | 19:27 |
| === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs | ||
| bekks | dooglus: The error cant be exactly the same. | 19:28 |
| wols | Groupers: run mprime, or cpuburn and measure again. it will go up | 19:28 |
| dooglus | bekks: wanna bet? | 19:28 |
| wols | dooglus: we do | 19:28 |
| Hilikus | #git | 19:28 |
| wols | dooglus: pastebin the full command you wrote and its output in a pastebin | 19:28 |
| bekks | dooglus: I know I will win. That would be a good deal, but quite unfair against you. | 19:29 |
| dooglus | bekks: name your stake | 19:29 |
| Groupers | wols, the issue is that one of the fans gets stuck running really fast even though the temperature/load are low | 19:29 |
| bekks | dooglus: Upload your pastebin. | 19:29 |
| dooglus | bekks: then you won't want to bet any more :) | 19:29 |
| Groupers | wols, the issue goes away after a reboot but then after a while it gets stuck running fast again | 19:30 |
| dooglus | bekks: it's going to take a while to load up chromium on this old pc from a live cd | 19:30 |
| bekks | dooglus: For offtopic, please change to #ubuntu-offtopic ;) | 19:30 |

| wols | Groupers: e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control | 19:30 |
| wols | dooglus: no need. | 19:31 |
| wols | !pastebinit | dooglus | 19:31 |
| ubottu | dooglus: 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 | 19:31 |

| cmol | Hi guys, what do you use for virus scanning a windows machine via a live linux image? I've seen trinitylinux.org, but that's what I've found so far. (my dad messed up his pc) | 19:34 |
| wilee-nilee | !av | 19:34 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 19:34 |
| dooglus | he's asking how to use linux to virus scan a windows partition | 19:35 |
| Kishi | Not necessarily true. | 19:35 |
| unsobill | wols, this is probably most retarded and unhelpful thing i seen people do on irc | 19:35 |
| wilee-nilee | cmol, That ubottu message will give you a list of possibilities. | 19:35 |
| vexati0n | quick question: Online Accounts has the option to add a Microsoft Exchange account, and use it for "mail, contacts, and calendar," but where do the mail, contacts, and calendar actually show up? | 19:35 |
| Kishi | You can allways, say, be a target of a specific attack. | 19:35 |
| Kishi | It's true that most malware is written for Windows because it's most popular OS worldwide | 19:36 |
| Kishi | That doesn't eliminate possible dangers, though | 19:36 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| Kishi | Better safe than sorry I'd say. | 19:36 |
| wols | unsobill: good, then you obviously don't want help. have a nice life | 19:36 |
| wilee-nilee | cmol, THere are at least 5 or so live cd from major AV providers as well. | 19:36 |
| cmol | I virus scan my linux too, but that's another matter | 19:36 |
| cmol | wilee-nilee, as opensource / free ? | 19:37 |
| Kishi | I've got ClamAV installed and I make use of it sometimes | 19:37 |
| unsobill | wols, if you consider your respond as "help" then you just obviously wasting too much time here | 19:37 |
| wilee-nilee | cmol, Yes most are running on top of a open source setup. With windows though you are better to recover the important stuff and just do a fresh install. | 19:37 |
| wols | unsobill: if you consider your "question" sensible, then you need to ask ubottu about !gq | 19:38 |
| === Oblivious is now known as obli-AWAY | ||
| ofcan | In my script I change user with 'su' but than I get stuck being asked for password withouth being able to type the password :) how to fix this? | 19:38 |
| cmol | wilee-nilee, yeah, but im hoping to jump the fence at its lowest.... | 19:39 |
| gimp_ | net | 19:39 |
| Kishi | Terminal doesn't show root password output as a security mesaure, have you tried pressing enter? | 19:39 |
| agharos | 123 | 19:40 |
| bekks | Kishi: There is no root password in Ubuntu. | 19:40 |
| wilee-nilee | cmol, http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/ | 19:40 |
| Kishi | bekks: User can allways set it via "passwd root" command | 19:40 |
| wilee-nilee | cmol, There is also combofix | 19:41 |
| cmol | wilee-nilee, thanks! You're a savior | 19:41 |
| bekks | Kishi: Doing so will most likely result in getting no support in here anymore. | 19:41 |
| bekks | !root | Kishi | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Kishi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:41 |
| dooglus | in the installer, I'm installing ubuntu alongside windows. it's asking me to drag a divider to say how much space each should get - but it didn't label the two sides. is linux the left or right side? | 19:41 |
| Kishi | bekks: Ofcan started a question about su, not me. | 19:42 |
| ofcan | yup :) | 19:42 |
| bekks | Kishi: kk :) | 19:42 |
| vexati0n | quick question: Online Accounts has the option to add a Microsoft Exchange account, and use it for "mail, contacts, and calendar," but where do the mail, contacts, and calendar actually show up? | 19:42 |
| wols | Kishi: but you violated the !noroot factoid | 19:43 |
| wilee-nilee | dooglus, If you want top have exactly the partition size you want you should resize the windows with its disk manager, much safer as well, then install ubuntu in the unallocated space. | 19:43 |
| Kishi | ...I've violated what? | 19:43 |
| wols | !noroot | Kishi | 19:43 |
| ubottu | Kishi: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 19:43 |
| wols | Kishi: irc channels do have rules after all | 19:43 |
| MediaWork | hi | 19:43 |
| Kishi | Oh, I didn't realise. | 19:43 |
| gordonjcp | there should be a patch for /usr/bin/passwd that checks for attempts to set a root password, and if someone has set one it will overwrite any attached drives with /dev/zero | 19:44 |
| dooglus | wilee-nilee: the windows is all fscked up - I think it's safer to use linux to resize it | 19:44 |
| MediaWork | how do I make mono attach to the .net 4 library when I execute a .net file. | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: root passwords need to die | 19:44 |
| MediaWork | currently it seems to look up .net version 2... which causes problems | 19:44 |
| MediaWork | missing libs ertc. | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: they've been obsolete for a good twenty years or so | 19:44 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: Just triggering the secure erase of a disk drive would be enough :) | 19:44 |
| wilee-nilee | dooglus, I see people on here everyday that have resized wrong and then need to resize with goparted and have to have their hands held the whole way. | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: that'd work | 19:44 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: /dev/zero is secure enough for pretty near anything | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: you write /dev/zero over the whole disk and nothing's ever coming back :-) | 19:45 |
| Kishi | While using sudo is a good way to protect beginner users from doing something stupid like removing everything in root directory, I see nothing wrong with enabling su as an user with some Linux experience allready... | 19:45 |
| dooglus | wilee-nilee: not surprising - the installer doesn't label the partitions! I get to drag a divider between two unlabelled white spaces - one's ubuntu, one's windows, but I don't know which is which! | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: wrong | 19:45 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: you should *never* have a valid root password | 19:45 |
| wilee-nilee | dooglus, Could it more confusing, lol. | 19:46 |
| Kishi | Why so? | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: because it's fundamentally insecure | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: anybody with the root password can do anything | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | there's no logging, there's no division of authority | 19:46 |
| zhanger | and also cause then an attacker actually knows which account to attack | 19:46 |
| wilee-nilee | dooglus, My guess is windows on the left and ubuntu on the right, but that is a guess. | 19:46 |
| Kishi | gordonjcp: So can a person with an administrator password, because what sudo does is executing a single command as root | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: no, it doesn't | 19:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: it just happens to be configured that way in the trivial case | 19:47 |
| dooglus | the resizer said "nothing to do - ntfs volume size is already ok". wierd, but ok... | 19:47 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: you can lock down what people can do with sudo to a very fine degree, and sort out all sorts of logging | 19:47 |
| maxb | Root passwords are mainly for getting into a server over a (virtual) serial console when all else has gone wrong :-) | 19:48 |
| Kishi | gordonjcp: I've never tried it, but I believe Linux will be as happy to rm -rf the root directory with sudo prefix as it would be with su | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: did you read *anything* I said? | 19:49 |
| bekks | Kishi: Which has nothing to do with the insecurity of a root password. | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: clearly not | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: I can set you up an account on this machine, give you sudo access and let you bang away with sudo rm -rf * anywhere you like | 19:49 |
| Kishi | gordonjcp: Perhaps. I'm not too experienced and armed with arguments to wage nerd wars yet ;/ | 19:49 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: I guarantee you'll only be able to take out your homedir | 19:49 |
| kev^ | hah | 19:50 |
| runderw | has anyone here ever worked for NextGen Healthcare Solutions? | 19:50 |
| gordonjcp | although admittedly, first I'll have to remember how to do that | 19:50 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, This is ubuntu support and that is it. | 19:50 |
| runderw | ya | 19:50 |
| maxb | gordonjcp: Your statement is a bit misleading though, since whilst it's true, that's not the way the vast majority of people configure sudo | 19:51 |
| runderw | so I the next gen people run their servers on top of ubuntu | 19:51 |
| addiks | Hi, my nautilus wont connect to remote servers since 12.10, it only tells me "Cannot get list of Servermethods, check your gvfs installation." I have reinstalled (purged) gvfs-backend and nautilus and it wont work. Can anyone help me with this? | 19:51 |
| gordonjcp | maxb: well, what I did say earlier is in the trivial case it's set up to function a bit like su but without disclosing (or requiring) a root password | 19:51 |
| xreal | I need to stream a file using netcat at 2048000 bytes/s. I tried it directly in netcat, but speed doesn't fit. "pv -L 2048000 | nc6" works, but the datarate isn't exactly 2048000 ... what am I doing wrong? | 19:51 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, Good for them this is show your problem in the form of a question, not who the company is. | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: well for a start it sounds like you're going about some problem the wrong way | 19:52 |
| runderw | so I can only ask specific questions about ubuntu here ? | 19:52 |
| bekks | Yes. :) | 19:53 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, That is it yes. | 19:53 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:53 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, there is #ubuntu-offtopic but there are limitations there as well. | 19:53 |
| b636bc7ca | How do I find the default init level on ubuntu? I'm used to looking in /etc/inittab, but that doesn't exist anymore... | 19:54 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: why are you looking for it? | 19:54 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: (ubuntu uses upstart as its init system) | 19:54 |
| bekks | !upstart | b636bc7ca | 19:54 |
| ubottu | b636bc7ca: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 19:54 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: Because I want to disable vsftpd in the default runlevel. | 19:54 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: I want to stream I/Q data recorded by rtl_sdr to a sdr-demodulator. | 19:54 |
| Kishi | Anyway, I didn't really come here to argue if sudo is better than su | 19:55 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: pv -W -L 2048000 myfile.bin | nc6 -v -l -p 1234 | 19:55 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: oh, okay | 19:55 |
| runderw | @wilee-nilee do you have any suggestions of where I would find a channel more specific to monitoring custom apache setups | 19:55 |
| jrib | !runlevel | b636bc7ca | 19:55 |
| ubottu | b636bc7ca: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 19:55 |
| ikonia | runderw: the apache channel ? | 19:55 |
| b636bc7ca | I know it uses upstart, and I'm in /etc/init/vsftpd.conf, but I don't know which run level to remove from the "start" block | 19:55 |
| Kishi | I allready have other problems, like, having switched to a 800x600 resolution one day and not being able to revert | 19:55 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: streaming audio is somewhat more difficult than that since you need to keep the timing exactly right | 19:56 |
| bekks | b636bc7ca: There are no run levels anymore with Upstart. | 19:56 |
| bekks | b636bc7ca: The bot just told you that Upstart replaces the Old SysV Init. | 19:56 |
| b636bc7ca | bekks: Replacing sysvinit is the same as "getting rid of runlevels entirely"? | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, #httpd | 19:57 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: why not just copy the raw IQ data across to the machine with the SDR software on it? | 19:57 |
| bekks | b636bc7ca: Correct. | 19:57 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: do you want to know the proper way to disable vsftp? See the section on manual overrrides in http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ | 19:57 |
| runderw | thanks I will check it out.. | 19:57 |
| b636bc7ca | good lord | 19:57 |
| brzJunior | Hi guys, how can i clean "search replace" cache from gedit on ubuntu 11.10 ? | 19:57 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: it's not audio (as you say, it's raw I/Q data). the problem: the SDR software can read WAV files only. WAV is limited to 4 GB, the file would be about 12 GB. | 19:57 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: it *is* audio... | 19:58 |
| gordonjcp | it's slightly funny sounding but it's still audio | 19:58 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: ok, you're right. It's sines. | 19:58 |
| xreal | Sine waves | 19:58 |
| runderw | I am also kind of a newb with ubuntu amongst other things ! | 19:58 |
| b636bc7ca | Then upstart scripts probably should stop containing stuff like this: start on runlevel [2345] | 19:58 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: ever noticed how if you get the centre frequency just right, you can hear intelligible audio without the software? | 19:58 |
| wilee-nilee | runderw, THat channel looked to be the closest on freenode that I could see with a channel search. | 19:59 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: right there's probably a way to use sox to convert that binary file to a wav | 19:59 |
| b636bc7ca | That's incredibly misleading if there are no runlevels at all anymore | 19:59 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: it's probably interleaved 8-bit linear | 19:59 |
| gordonjcp | that doesn't solve your 12GB problem | 19:59 |
| bekks | b636bc7ca: They arent needed anymore, so they do not exist anymore using Upstart. | 19:59 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: you're righr. sox -e unsigned-integer -t raw -b 8 -c 2 -r 2048000 | 19:59 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: can your SDR software accept audio from jack or pulse? | 20:00 |
| b636bc7ca | bekks: Odd, then, that the "upstart" documentation and start scripts document them, isn't it? | 20:00 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: you could cut the 12GB file up into chunks | 20:00 |
| b636bc7ca | s/document/document and use/ | 20:00 |
| runderw | nice .. thank you .. one last question before I leave .. | 20:00 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: I tried chunking it up, but then it "pops" in the middle of the recording. | 20:00 |
| bekks | b636bc7ca: Then please show us were upstart documents that. | 20:00 |
| dr_willis | upstart has backwards compatiabilty features | 20:00 |
| b636bc7ca | bekks: Certainly: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#runlevels | 20:00 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: I'm recording in Linux and streaming it through 1000mbit network to Windows. The sdr software is running on Windows only. | 20:00 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: upstart still handles the old sysv init scripts so there are still runlevel events. As I understand it though, these are an outdated model; I could be wrong | 20:01 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: oh, I don't know anything about Windows | 20:01 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: I haven't seen any decent SDR software for Windows | 20:01 |
| gordonjcp | what are you using? | 20:01 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: no problem. sdr# is *great*. I'd love to use gnuradio in a VM soon. | 20:01 |
| dr_willis | jrib: thats how i gather the info also. many services are stil using the old system and upstart handles them so well most people dont notice or upgrade their stuff to use upstart defined services | 20:01 |
| * giuseppe_ buona sera | 20:01 | |
| gordonjcp | xreal: oh, sdr#? | 20:01 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: *shrug* At least that documentation answered the real question: the variable DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL in file /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf | 20:01 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: my current post-processing is based on AF created by sdr# and it works *very* fine | 20:01 |
| giuseppe_ | !list | 20:01 |
| ubottu | giuseppe_: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 20:01 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: Is it possible to hard restrict netcat to 2048000 bytes ? | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: I believe the author is working on rtlsdr integration for that | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: he used to hang about in ##hamradio, don't know if he still does | 20:02 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: it supports rtlsdr and rtltcp, but not raw i/q data. I know him (prog) from ##rtlsdr | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | why not just use rtltcp then | 20:03 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: It may be "outdated", and perhaps it will stop working at some point in the future, but I still use runlevels quite heavily on my systems; I just couldn't remember what replaced inittab, and my google-fu was failing to come up with the upstart.ubuntu.com URL | 20:03 |
| runderw | I can connect to the ubuntu server, I have navigated around and I have tried using the /proc and I tried reading man /proc .. but I don't feel like this is efficient way of trying to troubleshoot what executable is hanging the box | 20:03 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: k, glad you sorted it out | 20:03 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: because I've already recorded the file and want to demodulate them :) | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: ooooooh | 20:03 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: cat | netcat => ... => sdr# => af | 20:03 |
| runderw | How do you check your machine out from ssh | 20:03 |
| ikonia | runderw: why do you think there is an executable hanging ? | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: yeah, my first thought would be to cut it up with dd or something and convert to wav with sox | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: or ask prog to fix it to read IQ files | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: or fix it yourself for that matter | 20:04 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: I tried that, but I've recorded music and vocals, which get "popped" at the cut | 20:04 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: yeah, I need to convince him. He's not easy :) | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: I bet I could write a patch for lysdr to do it | 20:04 |
| runderw | when we try to navigate to the url the ubuntu box is hosting the host doesn't respond | 20:04 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: what's lysdr ? | 20:04 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: Is it possible to hard restrict netcat to 2048000 bytes ? | 20:05 |
| runderw | we can ping the box | 20:05 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: not as far as I can see | 20:05 |
| b636bc7ca | But if Ubuntu is really getting rid of runlevels, it'd sure be nice if someone would document what I'm supposed to use instead; runlevels are one of the best things about a Unix system. :| | 20:05 |
| ikonia | runderw: why do you think there is an executable hanging ? | 20:05 |
| runderw | but no go on the http requests | 20:05 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| ikonia | runderw: http is nothing to do with ping | 20:05 |
| ikonia | so that is an invalid test | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | xreal: head may be able to do bytes (total guess) | 20:06 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: http://gordonjcp.github.com/lysdr/ | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | i belive | 20:06 |
| === hasp is now known as hspencer[afk] | ||
| gordonjcp | xreal: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/lysdr.jpg | 20:06 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: nice | 20:06 |
| runderw | obviously .. I know .. there could be many things that prevent the http page from getting served | 20:06 |
| b636bc7ca | dr_willis: I can't see anything on there that: 1) Even remotely implies runlevels are going away; 2) Tells me what to use instead of runlevels to start/stop hundreds of services with a single command | 20:06 |
| ikonia | runderw: if you "know" why are you quoting it as a test | 20:06 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: internally prog and I use some very similar tricks in our software, but as you can see we have very different attitudes to GUIs | 20:07 |
| gordonjcp | xreal: lysdr is far too complicated, there are too many buttons | 20:07 |
| ikonia | runderw: if you know ping is nothing to do with http, why use it as a test or mention in here, why not troubleshoot the issue | 20:07 |
| b636bc7ca | Well, I guess I could just maintain my own upstart scripts that chain to other upstart scripts - but that's certainly not very clear in the documentation if that's the expectation. | 20:07 |
| runderw | omg .. because I am a newb to ubuntu | 20:07 |
| xreal | gordonjcp: I'll try it in a VM soon | 20:07 |
| runderw | I guess | 20:07 |
| tbruff13 | hello | 20:07 |
| ikonia | runderw: ok, so the question you have is "I don't know why I can't see web pages" | 20:08 |
| ikonia | runderw: first question, is apache running ? | 20:08 |
| maverik | ciao | 20:08 |
| runderw | yes ,,, | 20:08 |
| maverik | !list | 20:08 |
| ubottu | maverik: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 20:08 |
| gordonjcp | always Italians, first thing they do is say !list | 20:08 |
| runderw | I would say every 15 attempts or so .. we can get an application not available page | 20:08 |
| ikonia | runderw: first question, is apache running ? | 20:09 |
| gordonjcp | I think I've got most of every Italian ISP's netblock set to auto-kline | 20:09 |
| ikonia | how have you verified apache is running | 20:09 |
| gordonjcp | (not here, on a server I run) | 20:09 |
| ikonia | sorry, runderw how have you verified apache is running | 20:09 |
| runderw | Its a gut feeliing | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | gordonjcp, That is a a strange correlation for sure. | 20:09 |
| ikonia | runderw: ok, a gut feeling is unacceptable in troubleshooting | 20:09 |
| ikonia | runderw: please verify apache is running | 20:09 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: I think maybe I was misremembering. Instead, it's just that runlevels aren't really special in upstart. They're just events that get emitted and you can use them to start and stop jobs in your script | 20:09 |
| tbruff13 | Can I have some help please | 20:10 |
| gordonjcp | wilee-nilee: it's *only* Italians | 20:10 |
| runderw | I have some evidence behind my feeling | 20:10 |
| gordonjcp | wilee-nilee: and it's *all* they do | 20:10 |
| runderw | .. but a good question would be | 20:10 |
| gordonjcp | !help | tbruff13 | 20:10 |
| ubottu | tbruff13: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:10 |
| ikonia | runderw: feelings are unacceptable, please verify it's running | 20:10 |
| wilee-nilee | gordonjcp, Yeah always I know. ;) | 20:10 |
| runderw | how do I verify apache is running | 20:10 |
| runderw | from ssh | 20:10 |
| ikonia | runderw: how have you been verifying it so far ? | 20:10 |
| runderw | rather from bash | 20:10 |
| runderw | basically the server serves an application error page | 20:11 |
| maverik | ciao | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, TO get help you need to show the problem in the form of a question, ;) | 20:11 |
| maverik | !list | 20:11 |
| ubottu | maverik: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 20:11 |
| ikonia | runderw: ok, you need to look for the httpd process in the proces list | 20:11 |
| runderw | I know that page is from the directory of the server in question | 20:11 |
| ikonia | or is it apache2 on ubuntu | 20:11 |
| ikonia | runderw: look for httpd or apache2 in the process list | 20:11 |
| tbruff13 | I am having trouble upgrading from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 it is hanging on 64 percent while trying to download dropbox. I really don't want my laptop to crash can someone please help me | 20:12 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: how did you trigger the update | 20:12 |
| AndresSM | _ | 20:12 |
| AndresSM | ? | 20:12 |
| maverik | ciao | 20:12 |
| maverik | !list | 20:12 |
| ikonia | maverik: don't do it again | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, 3rd parties should be off in a upgrade, are you backedup? | 20:13 |
| gordonjcp | maverik: what the hell is this !list nonsense? | 20:13 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: leave it please. | 20:13 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: also if it's just downloading updates you can't cancel and make sure to disable that repo | 20:13 |
| Helpdesk | !list | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Helpdesk: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 20:13 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM, I went through the muon package manager and it said that an upgrade was available so I clicked on it and started upgrading | 20:13 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: I'm not sure how that's different from the way I've been using runlevels for the past two decades, but great :) | 20:13 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM, it is not just updating I am going from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: are you wanting to upgrade to 12.10 or is it already happening? | 20:14 |
| crazyharry | rithms | 20:15 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: if it's just downloading you can cancel it's no big deal | 20:15 |
| runderw | thanks | 20:15 |
| runderw | this was the piece I forgot | 20:15 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: then go to your software sources and disable all third party repositories | 20:15 |
| runderw | … this ps aux thing .. provides me with a list of PID to path | 20:16 |
| runderw | … I love | 20:16 |
| runderw | it | 20:16 |
| runderw | even cpu load | 20:16 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: well if anything, I think it would make it nicer for you. Now you can create your own runlevels, you can even create your own new event that you emit instead and have your services watch for. The only issues with runlevels is if ubuntu decides to stop putting these "start on runlevel" stanzas in the init scripts :) Again, I don't know either way if that's something that's planned | 20:16 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, I would talk with ActionParsnip if I were you. | 20:16 |
| ikonia | I know what it does | 20:16 |
| tbruff13 | I am working with someone now | 20:17 |
| tbruff13 | one second | 20:17 |
| bonhoeffer | does ubuntu lighten graphics on mouseover by default? | 20:17 |
| bonhoeffer | i have a set of 64x64 px graphics, that light up with a great mouseover effect in nautilus (or whatever the explorer in 11.04) | 20:18 |
| runderw | isn't there some thing called grep or something .. so could I only list http or apache2 | 20:18 |
| ikonia | correct, grep | 20:18 |
| bonhoeffer | oh, 12.04 :) | 20:18 |
| runderw | like ps aux grep "apache" ? | 20:18 |
| bonhoeffer | i can't figure out how the effect is happening -- there is no sprite, only a single image | 20:18 |
| runderw | I am really newb I hope i am not to annoying | 20:18 |
| ikonia | runderw: you need to pipe | 20:18 |
| yeats | runderw: 'ps aux | grep apache' | 20:18 |
| ikonia | runderw: it's not annoying, but I'd suggest stepping back and reading the basics on bash usage | 20:18 |
| handuel | 'ello | 20:19 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip, I was told to talk to you | 20:19 |
| bonhoeffer | but mouseover looks great -- i'm trying to figure out if the designer designed this | 20:19 |
| ikonia | runderw: it will make general advice going forward easier | 20:19 |
| tbruff13 | and I need some help if you can | 20:19 |
| bonhoeffer | should i ask about this in another room | 20:19 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: :< | 20:19 |
| Kishi | So, one day I've booted in Ubuntu to find out that somehow I became trapped in 800x600 resolution | 20:19 |
| Kishi | Which sucks a little bit | 20:19 |
| handuel | bonhoeffer what is your question? | 20:19 |
| === scottas is now known as zz_scottas | ||
| runderw | ok .. Will do … Thank you ikonia, I really appreciate the help | 20:19 |
| Kishi | And I cannot seem to go into a higher resolution | 20:19 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: errr of course the design designed it, that's why he's the designer | 20:19 |
| Kishi | I've reinstalled NVIDIA drivers two, maybe three times | 20:19 |
| ikonia | runderw: it's worth just a few hours delay to get your head around the basics | 20:19 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: well, if they stop supporting it, they stop supporting it - I'm just as screwed either way :) But thanks | 20:19 |
| Kishi | All for nothing | 20:19 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, no, did the designer design a mouseover for http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/free-social-media-icon-set | 20:20 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM, is there anyway I can safely end the upgrade and restart it | 20:20 |
| bonhoeffer | or is the cool mouseover effect a concidence in ubuntu? | 20:20 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: that's not really anything to do with ubuntu | 20:20 |
| yeats | Kishi: take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues | 20:20 |
| AndresSM | yes, just hit cancel, if it's only downloading nothing will happen | 20:20 |
| bonhoeffer | in html, the mouseover effect doesn't display in chrome | 20:20 |
| bonhoeffer | but it does natively in nautilus (or the explorer in 12.04) | 20:20 |
| jrib | b636bc7ca: out of curiousity, what do you use them for? | 20:20 |
| Kishi | yeats: As an inexperienced user, I doubt I'll make anything out of it. | 20:20 |
| bonhoeffer | i'm wondering how ubuntu is pulling out this cool mouseover effect from a simple 64x64 graphic | 20:21 |
| bonhoeffer | the graphic appears to be no sprite | 20:21 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM, it is not just downloading packages it is installing | 20:21 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, make sense? | 20:21 |
| yeats | Kishi: you might be able to pastebin the log to see if someone here can assist | 20:21 |
| tbruff13 | it is only download the dropbox kernel while trying to install the package | 20:21 |
| AndresSM | tbruff13: it's already installing and it's stuck? it downloads first | 20:21 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense to me what you're asking | 20:21 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: To switch my machine from a server to a desktop | 20:21 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, you should check this out . . . you download the graphics -- there is a sweet mouseover effect _only_ in ubuntu | 20:22 |
| bonhoeffer | from just looking in the directory | 20:22 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM, it already downloaded the packages, but within the natilius-dropobox package there is a download that it is frozen in watch ill show you | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: about what? | 20:22 |
| bonhoeffer | can't duplicate it anywhere else | 20:22 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: For example, when I'm using it as my daily desktop machine, I don't want sshd and ftpd running; when I need to switch it to a server, I don't want X running. | 20:22 |

| jrib | b636bc7ca: I see | 20:23 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: it's just a mouse over set of images | 20:23 |
| Kishi | Here is the Xorg file | 20:23 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: I don't understand what the issue/question is | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: have you tried rebooting? | 20:23 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip, it is installing packages for kubuntu 12.10 wont that break my system | 20:23 |
| b636bc7ca | jrib: Thanks again for your help. | 20:24 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, no, it is not -- there is only one image there -- how can it be a "mouseover" set of images? | 20:25 |
| bonhoeffer | there is no sprite/css/or javascript at work | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: i'd give it a while, you may have to kill the process off then run ubottu's aptfix command | 20:25 |

| adaminsull | lol | 20:26 |
| ikonia | adaminsull: if you need help, just ask a question | 20:27 |
| dr_willis | 5 years from now we may all be using Ubuntu Phones and Ubuntu Tablets ;) and watching videos on our UbuntuTV's | 20:27 |
| ikonia | adaminsull: I'm not laughing | 20:27 |
| adaminsull | ok | 20:27 |
| iceroot | wilee-nilee: sometimes you need newer software (kernel, x, video driver) and dont want to mix to much in 12.04 so you will use 12.10 because you dont have to use ppas and so on for that | 20:27 |
| Kishi | So, again, one day I've booted in and discovered that I've been trapped in 800x600 resolution, which is really horrible | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | dr_willis, Don't forget th cerebral implant | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | the* | 20:27 |
| dr_willis | UbuntuTinFoilHat. | 20:27 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip, okay how can i kill the process and then run aptfix safely or as safe as possible | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | dr_willis, can i have some that stuff you're smoking :) | 20:27 |
| Kishi | And wasn't able to go to higher resolution, despite reinstalling NVIDIA drivers a few times | 20:27 |
| iceroot | wilee-nilee: and in 5 years we dont use X11 anymore :) but 12.04 is still using X11 :) | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Kishi: how are you installing the nvidia drivers ? | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | iceroot, I would fresh install it as a dual first myself. | 20:28 |
| Kishi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330124/ here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Kishi: how are you installing the nvidia drivers ? | 20:28 |
| Kishi | I go into recovery mode, mount my file system and run a install script from root shell | 20:28 |
| iceroot | wilee-nilee: but when everything is running fine its "never touch a running system" | 20:28 |
| adaminsull | I need help with this error "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" when trying to install lamp server | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Kishi: so you're getting drivers from nvidia.com | 20:29 |
| Kishi | Yes, I am. | 20:29 |
| wilee-nilee | iceroot, You have missed my point, just 7 months into 12.04 it seems like a phetish to upgrade, not so much use it for 5 years. | 20:29 |
| iceroot | adaminsull: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server | 20:29 |
| Ironsight | Has anyone tested installing ubuntu side by side with windows 8 | 20:29 |
| Kishi | Sometimes I've had this problem | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Kishi: is there a reason you are no tusing the ones from the ubuntu software manager ? | 20:29 |
| adaminsull | will try | 20:29 |
| jrib | adaminsull: use « apt-get install TASK^ » where TASK is the task you were trying to install with tasksel | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Kishi: rather than the unsupported nvidia ones ? | 20:29 |
| yeats | Kishi: can you pastebin the output of 'lsmod'? | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Kishi: as every kernel update will break them | 20:29 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip, hello man is there anyway you can teach me to use aptfix | 20:29 |
| tbruff13 | I assume i just use xkill to kill it | 20:30 |
| BKTech86 | Hi, I'm trying to get the microphone working on my bluetooth headset (12.04 LTS), apparently it only works in telephony mode, the option shows up as an input method, but then I don't hear anything at all, and the mic levels detect nothing. Can anyone help? thanks! | 20:30 |
| Kishi | ikonia: Perhaps because I don't have the software manager. I'm running on Kubuntu. | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Kishi: there is still a software manager and package manager to install the official packaged drivers | 20:30 |
| Kishi | ikonia: Muon? | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Kishi: that is a poor reason | 20:30 |
| kurumin | oi | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Kishi: there are multiple package managers available for kde. | 20:31 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, nautilus? | 20:31 |
| bonhoeffer | whatever the default window manager is | 20:31 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: I'm sorry I don't understand what you are actually asking, I suggest asking the channel as I'm losing interest | 20:31 |
| Kishi | Honestly, I didn't really know that Ubuntu offers their version of NVIDIA drivers | 20:31 |
| kurumin | oieeeeeeeeeeee | 20:31 |
| Kishi | I thought I can only get 'em from NVIDIA website | 20:31 |
| ikonia | kurumin: please don't | 20:31 |
| ikonia | !nvidia | kurumin | 20:31 |

| bonhoeffer | anyway -- what is the default window manager? | 20:32 |
| bonhoeffer | sorry, explorer | 20:32 |
| ikonia | bonhoeffer: sorry, I've lost interest as it's not interesting to me and I don't understand what you are asking | 20:32 |
| kurumin | yes | 20:32 |
| adaminsull | I got this http://pastebin.com/KCRdPytH | 20:32 |
| bonhoeffer | ikonia, fair enough | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | bonhoeffer, They will not follow kernel upgrades among other problems. | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | nvidia that is | 20:33 |
| bonhoeffer | does anyone know what would be causing a mouseover effect in nautilus? | 20:33 |
| tbruff13 | ikonia, can I ask for some help from you maybe | 20:33 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: with what ? | 20:33 |
| bonhoeffer | how does nautilus interact with graphics? | 20:33 |
| bonhoeffer | png's in particular | 20:33 |

| adaminsull | Well I got this | 20:35 |

| tbruff13 | how can i end it safely restart it and let it finish | 20:35 |
| Kishi | And see If It lets me go into higher resolution | 20:35 |
| yeats | adaminsull: check /var/log/mysql logs for messages about it | 20:35 |
| ikonia | Kishi: it won't work well now as you're ruined it with the nvidia.com install | 20:35 |
| adaminsull | http://pastebin.com/SGsC5QB1 | 20:35 |
| yeats | tbruff13: frozen how? | 20:35 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: you'll have to restart the machine | 20:36 |
| Kishi | So what do you suggest? | 20:36 |
| tbruff13 | ikonia, what will happen will it boot back up | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Kishi: if possible a clean install and do things properly | 20:36 |
| tbruff13 | ikonia, i can xkill the process | 20:36 |
| SamWeasley | hi | 20:36 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: depends what's hung in the process | 20:36 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: it may / may not boot up | 20:36 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: kill the process if you want | 20:36 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, Do you have access to the channel if you reboot and it does not boot? | 20:37 |
| === main is now known as rickybo | ||
| adaminsull | How do I read the logs? | 20:37 |
| Kishi | ikonia: I'm really not sure how to properly uninstall nvidia.com drivers, as well as not screwing up X in the proccess. | 20:37 |
| ikonia | Kishi: that's why I suggested a clean install if possible to go to a known state | 20:37 |
| yeats | adaminsull: never mind - that's a apt/dpkg issue, not a mysql issue | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Kishi: there is no proper uninstall for nvidia.com you have to do it all manually | 20:38 |
| adaminsull | Any know how to fix this error | 20:38 |
| Kishi | ikonia: How would I do that? | 20:38 |
| rickybo | hey can some one help me install a tar.gz file | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Kishi: you get the install CD, boot from it and install | 20:38 |
| iceroot | rickybo: which program? | 20:38 |
| tbruff13 | wilee-nilee what is the process for kde panel i killed the wrong process | 20:38 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, What is the package | 20:38 |
| rickybo | bitcoin.07.0 | 20:38 |
| ikonia | !install | Kishi | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Kishi: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 20:38 |

| SamWeasley | Can't use SAMBA to share a printer, although it already works for file server | 20:38 |
| SamWeasley | Quantal Quetzar | 20:38 |
| SamWeasley | *Quetzal | 20:38 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, Not sure I have never used kde. | 20:38 |
| Kishi | ikonia: So I have to wipe my whole system? Great. | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Kishi: you don't have to | 20:38 |
| handuel | iceroot, try extracting the file, changing to it's directory and running make | 20:39 |
| rickybo | iceroot: wilee-nilee: bitcoin0.7.0 | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Kishi: you can use backups, and a clean install is only my suggestion, not the law | 20:39 |
| yeats | adaminsull: it looks like it isn't getting installed, so not | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Kishi: I'm suggesting putting your machine into a know working state | 20:39 |
| adaminsull | yeats: So what do I do | 20:39 |
| yeats | adaminsull: have you installed mysql before this? | 20:39 |
| adaminsull | I need to install phpbb | 20:39 |
| adaminsull | No | 20:39 |
| ArchOpenBox | Kishi: hold on. I look at nvidia.com see what it is you installed and how to remove it. give me 2 mins. | 20:39 |
| Kishi | ikonia: Well, It seems like a better solution, but I'm not sure how to do that | 20:39 |
| yeats | adaminsull: one thing at a time - you have to fix APT before proceeding | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, why would you not use what is in the repo? | 20:40 |
| adaminsull | yeats: Ok so how? | 20:40 |
| Kishi | [21:39:10ArchOpenBox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330124/ | 20:40 |
| ArchOpenBox | Kishi: by the way I dont like playing with drives they have a funny way of not fully removing from ubuntu. If this were Arch Linux it would be a thousand times easier. Cant promise anything. | 20:40 |
| yeats | adaminsull: what is the output of 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? | 20:41 |
| adaminsull | yeats: Just done "apt-get upgrade -y --force-yes" | 20:41 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: use cups to share printers | 20:41 |
| BKTech86 | Hi, I'm trying to get the microphone working on my bluetooth headset (12.04 LTS), apparently it only works in telephony mode, the option shows up as an input method, but then I don't hear anything at all, and the mic levels detect nothing. Can anyone help? thanks! | 20:41 |
| ikonia | AndresSM: please stop spewing lies | 20:41 |
| adaminsull | So i'll wait for that first | 20:41 |
| yeats | adaminsull: that won't work | 20:41 |
| AndresSM | ikonia: what? | 20:41 |
| adaminsull | Ok well i'll wait for it to do as it found a lotta stuff | 20:41 |
| Kishi | ArchOpenBox: I've heard rumours that NVIDIA never was Linux friendly. | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, how can one safely kill a distro upgrade that's using the update-manager , that's hung up on an app install (the app is dropbox ) | 20:41 |
| yeats | adaminsull: the problem is with dpkg (which is a lower level program that apt uses) | 20:41 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: it gives me an error? | 20:41 |
| ikonia | AndresSM: sorry, that was for ArchOpenBox | 20:41 |
| adaminsull | ok | 20:41 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: can't do it "safe" | 20:41 |
| AndresSM | ikonia: ohnp | 20:41 |
| wilee-nilee | rickbol, here is the PPA use it notice their version. https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin | 20:42 |

| jiohdi | help | 20:42 |
| ArchOpenBox | ikonia: Will not do so. Just want to look at install of driver. See what nvidia is doing. | 20:42 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, ok , thought that might be the case | 20:43 |
| neure | how do i make ubuntu to boot straight to desktop instead of asking me to login? | 20:43 |
| lj1102 | hello all :) | 20:43 |
| jiohdi | neure, under users you can chose auto login | 20:43 |
| handuel | neure, go to settings, user acounts, then click unlock, select your acount and choose auto login | 20:43 |
| jiohdi | that too | 20:44 |
| adaminsull | yeats: Same as I pastebinned | 20:44 |

| lj1102 | somebody here can help me with uefi grub stuff? | 20:44 |
| burtonium | I have a question regarding VPN server. I have VPS with ubuntu server 12.04. I've installed L2TP/ipsec + PPP on it. I can connect to it. I can ping it, etc. The problem is that when I connect my whole LAN through mikrotik router and ipsec client to that VPN I need to add additional route to VPN server, which basically points to my home LAN. The problem is that when I DC from VPN that route is also delted and i need to add it back manually ag | 20:44 |
| burtonium | Is there a way I can fix this with some script that runs when ppp0 comes up, or is there a way to make router persistent even if there is no ppp0 device active? | 20:44 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | 20:44 |
| adaminsull | yeats: This is the output http://pastebin.com/PQ3WfWxd | 20:44 |

| ubottu | Package uefi does not exist in quantal | 20:45 |
| Kishi | Great. He was supposed to help me, and now he's been kicked. | 20:45 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: I have already done that I believe? | 20:45 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: do I just download it and open it? | 20:45 |
| neure | handuel, automatic login is not enabled | 20:46 |
| lj1102 | I've tried to use boot-repair tool mentioned on ubuntu page but it wont rewrite my grub enties :/ | 20:46 |
| neure | i cant enable it | 20:46 |
| neure | it wont | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: who has? | 20:46 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, You believe, you can check to be sure it is in either software.sources.list or software.sources.list.d | 20:46 |
| Kishi | gordonjcp: ArchOpenBox | 20:46 |
| yeats | adaminsull: yikes - several problems | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: oh, well | 20:47 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, A ppa is added to your repo list it tells you how on the page then you update and then install the package. | 20:47 |
| yeats | adaminsull: what did you do before to install this? (e.g., have you installed anything from source?) | 20:47 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: maybe he should have stopped gibbering on about Arch and annoying the ops the first time he was told, or the second maybe | 20:47 |
| handuel | neure, can you screenshot you're accounts setting for me | 20:47 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: you can share with cups for windows machines | 20:48 |
| handuel | coming onto the ubuntu irc and then saying his distro of choice is better is hardly a way to stick around | 20:48 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: can you browse to https://localhost:631 ? | 20:48 |
| Kishi | gordonjcp: I'm not sure I understand, Is he not allowed to express his opinion that "Arch is better" here? | 20:48 |
| neure | handuel, i have only single account which account type is administrator | 20:48 |
| ikonia | Kishi: his opinion that arch is better, no problem. Him giving you miss-information, unacceptable. | 20:49 |
| neure | #doh | 20:49 |
| neure | i didnt unlock it :D | 20:49 |
| gordonjcp | Kishi: is it relevant to Ubuntu support? | 20:49 |
| handuel | neure :D | 20:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Kishi, This is ubuntu support not arch suppory basically | 20:49 |
| wilee-nilee | support* | 20:49 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM: I'm on a client machine, but can't open server CUPS admin page from it... | 20:49 |
| burtonium | its all linux | 20:49 |
| Kishi | And he was trying to give me that support, for Ubuntu. He only stated something about Arch by the way | 20:49 |
| wilee-nilee | burtonium, The channel info lays out the premise. | 20:49 |
| burtonium | manytimes i've fixed things with solutions from another distro | 20:50 |
| ikonia | Kishi: which was lies. | 20:50 |
| yeats | !guidelines | 20:50 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 20:50 |
| fyksen | Hey! I just install ubuntu 12.10. Now my network indicator applet shows that I'm offline, but I got a internet connection. Is there a easy fix for this? | 20:50 |
| Kishi | ikonia: Maybe so. Though I wouldn't even take his lies as a basis to switch to Arch. | 20:50 |
| ikonia | Kishi: I don't care if you do switch to arch, it's your decision, however miss-leading people in the channel is unacceptable, so he was removed. | 20:51 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: thank you very much it is installed and up | 20:51 |
| tbruff13 | vsn i have | 20:51 |
| Kishi | ikonia: I'm not sure if he did that on purpose | 20:51 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, Cool, ;) | 20:51 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM: ran nmap from a client to the server. Port 631 closed | 20:51 |
| iceroot | what is ubuntu using for home-encryption? my user-password directly or a passphrase/key which is protected with my user-password? | 20:51 |
| Kishi | ikonia: Maybe he didn't know he was wrong | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | tbruff13 | 20:52 |
| yeats | Kishi: best let it go | 20:52 |
| ubottu | tbruff13: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 20:52 |
| ikonia | Kishi: then he was incapable of helping you | 20:52 |
| tbruff13 | AndresSM: heyActionit is to late | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: had to go sort a backup so was AFK | 20:52 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: if I wanted to open it from the terminal can I just type in bitcoins-qt | 20:52 |
| tbruff13 | i am tryng to do thsat | 20:52 |
| wilee-nilee | rickybo, Not sure I have never used it. | 20:53 |
| Kishi | ikonia: I won't question staff's decision since it may be considered rude. Though IMO he could have been warned first, and then banned if his behavior continued. Just sayin' | 20:53 |
| rickybo | wilee-nilee: well thanks anyway I owe you one | 20:53 |

| tbruff13 | I am in recovery mode being told when i run that command that /dev/sda1 is read only | 20:53 |
| tbruff13 | what mount command will fix that | 20:53 |
| tbruff13 | so i can run sudo dpkg --configure --a | 20:54 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: hmm let me see how to enable it | 20:54 |
| jrib | tbruff13: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 | 20:54 |
| jaha | any idea why "exec sudo log.io harvester start" doesnt work the first time in an upstart script but the second time it does the cmd runs but doesnt have access to the net tht first time? its set to start on 2345 | 20:54 |
| tbruff13 | thanks | 20:54 |
| jrib | jaha: why don't you have it depend on networknig to start? | 20:54 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: I think by default it works localhost only | 20:54 |
| dooglus | I tried installing lubuntu, but the installer hung for a couple of hours about 90% through. how do I finish the install by hand? | 20:54 |
| zdkl | hola | 20:55 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM: yep | 20:55 |
| zdkl | este es en español¿¿??? | 20:55 |
| burtonium | @kishi: type in google How do I remove the driver installed from nvidia.com | 20:55 |
| jrib | !es | zdkl | 20:55 |
| ubottu | zdkl: En la mayorÃa de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 20:55 |
| zdkl | creo q no | 20:55 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: well you'd need to run it from host machine then or via ssh forwarding | 20:55 |
| burtonium | kishi: follow the guide, then try to install nvidia drivers from ubuntu | 20:55 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: got linux clients? | 20:55 |
| zdkl | ubuntu-es | 20:55 |
| zdkl | join #ubuntu-es | 20:55 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: regardless, I guess you could ssh forward ports | 20:56 |
| bekks | zdkl: "/join ..." | 20:56 |
| zdkl | jeje ok ok | 20:56 |
| AndresSM | otherwise you might need to edit cupds.conf to enable remote admin | 20:56 |
| Kishi | burtonium: Someone here suggested going into a known working state before | 20:56 |
| Kishi | burtonium: So then I could install the drivers from Ubuntu. | 20:56 |
| Kishi | burtonium: I don't know how I would do that, tho. | 20:56 |
| tbruff13 | thanks guys i owe you one | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: all ok? | 20:57 |
| yeats | Kishi: reinstallation is probably the only sure way | 20:57 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: there is a webinterface line there, set it to yes, for reference here is my cupsd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330220/ | 20:58 |
| Kishi | yeats: I was thinking about reverting to old xorg.conf | 20:58 |
| Kishi | yeats: Back when I wasn't using NVIDIA drivers yet | 20:58 |
| Kishi | yeats: Though It may not work now | 20:59 |
| adaminsull | yeats: ircd etc | 20:59 |
| adaminsull | but what can I do? | 20:59 |
| yeats | adaminsull: huh? | 20:59 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip: yep it is setting up the missing packages | 20:59 |
| adaminsull | yeats: to fix those errors | 20:59 |
| burtonium | kishi: never heard of system restore in ubuntu | 20:59 |
| tbruff13 | and installing everything that was supposed to be installed after the freeze | 21:00 |
| Kishi | burtonium: ikonia mentioned something about it | 21:00 |
| tbruff13 | it was the dropbox package that caused the freeze that needs to be reported | 21:00 |
| burtonium | kishi: well in that case you know who to ask ;) | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: coolies | 21:01 |
| adaminsull | yeats: What now? | 21:01 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip: do i need to file a bug about dropbox causing the upgrade to freeze? | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: i would | 21:01 |
| tbruff13 | ok | 21:01 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody here know of a way to connect a RAID to two ubuntu servers so if the primary server goes down the secondary server immediately takes up where the primary left off? | 21:02 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, Glad to hear things seem to be running. You might look at clonezilla fro sytem images so you wont ever lose anything and a backup for home. | 21:02 |
| Kishi | burtonium: I think he's away | 21:02 |
| gordonjcp | mrgoodcat: it's called a SAN | 21:02 |
| blistov | i uninstalled xen-hypervisor and removed the /boot/vmlinuz that came with it. when i reinstall xen, the kernel doesn't come back. | 21:02 |
| blistov | what gives/ | 21:03 |
| gordonjcp | mrgoodcat: there's a whole world of high-availability computing waiting out there to drive you mad and consume all your money | 21:03 |
| blistov | also, i was attempting to reinstall xen because I installed jack audio and then xen wouldn't boot. | 21:03 |
| tbruff13 | wilee-nilee: everything i need is in my dropbox | 21:03 |
| yeats | adaminsull: I would look try 'sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server'? | 21:03 |
| SamWeasley | Now open | 21:03 |
| mrgoodcat | gordonjcp: not me, the company i work for | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: you can start the process with: ubuntu-bug nautilus-dropbox | 21:03 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM - now open | 21:03 |
| tbruff13 | customization is just a minor loss if the system did crash out | 21:03 |
| adaminsull | yeats: Ok | 21:03 |
| mrgoodcat | we just had a server go down and piss off a lot of people so my boss wants it to not happen again | 21:03 |
| yeats | adaminsull: you're saying that it was not installed before, but the errors indicate that there is data corruption somewhere | 21:04 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, Except that you need a running computer to use it, clonzilla will do network backups. | 21:04 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip: my computer is still in recovery mode i am using a windoze and the webchat to talk to you | 21:04 |
| tbruff13 | wilee-nilee: what is clonezilla | 21:04 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, A cloner | 21:04 |
| yeats | adaminsull: if that command doesn't work, I would look into manually deleting the mysql data directory | 21:04 |
| Kishi | So to sum it up: | 21:04 |
| adaminsull | yeats: | 21:04 |
| adaminsull | libc6 : Depends: libc-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu10) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 is to be installed | 21:04 |
| adaminsull | libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.3) but 2.15-0ubuntu10 is to be installed | 21:04 |
| adaminsull | E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: gotcha, you can use this link if you want | 21:04 |
| Kishi | The only way to get rid of nvidia.com drivers | 21:04 |
| yeats | adaminsull: pastebin, please ;-) | 21:04 |
| adaminsull | ok | 21:04 |
| Kishi | Is to reinstall Ubuntu... | 21:05 |
| wilee-nilee | tbruff13, http://clonezilla.org/ | 21:05 |
| tbruff13 | ActionParsnip: what link??? | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: there is a link on launchpad to manually report a bug, its named on the Ubuntu bug reporting page | 21:05 |
| tbruff13 | ok | 21:05 |
| yeats | adaminsull: but to fix that, try doing 'apt-get -f install' as suggested | 21:05 |
| adaminsull | ok | 21:05 |

| xubentu | yeah, maybe install the latest kernel .. 3.6 | 21:11 |
| adaminsull | update* | 21:11 |
| adaminsull | how? | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | adaminsull: you should reboot to load the new kernel | 21:11 |
| yeats | adaminsull: try rebooting | 21:11 |
| adaminsull | ActionParsnip: Will I loose any data? | 21:11 |

| blistov | wols: that package is xen-hypervisor-4.1 | 21:12 |
| blistov | which i just reinstalled and still no kernel. | 21:12 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | unity and 12.04 | 21:12 |
| yeats | adaminsull: er... that will do it | 21:12 |
| blistov | so i figure the kernel must normally come in another package. | 21:12 |
| blistov | ? | 21:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, Ah I see 12.04 what desktop do you want? | 21:12 |

| wilee-nilee | savio, YOu only have 2 primaries and the extended, where is the unallocated, a gparted screenshot would be rather helpful. | 21:16 |
| yeats | adaminsull_: can you provide some context for that error? | 21:16 |
| wols | blistov: vmlinuz is a simple symlink generally | 21:16 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, where should i post that screenshot | 21:16 |

| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, Does that link make sense you can remove whole desktops by running the lists. | 21:17 |

| bluegrass | ActionParsnip figgered it out :> | 21:19 |
| adaminsull_ | Somone? | 21:19 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, Yeah you have 3 primaries just expand the sda3 into that space using a live cd and gparted, make sure the swap is unmounted when you do. | 21:20 |
| mjc_ | whats up adaminsull_ | 21:20 |
| adaminsull_ | mjc_: I want to install phpbb but getting lots of errors | 21:20 |

| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, thanx | 21:22 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM - i can see now the adminstration page | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, no problem. ;) | 21:22 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, how can i expand sda3 you mean to say move/resize | 21:22 |
| blistov | don't worry about it. will just rebuild from source. | 21:22 |
| SamWeasley | and now I can add a printer via KDE Control center | 21:22 |
| wols | blistov: dpkg -l libc6|tail -1; dpkg -l linux* | 21:23 |
| adaminsull_ | yeats: it was not showing failed to fork before u told me to reboot | 21:23 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, so how can i get rid of the kde login | 21:23 |
| wols | blistov: if you do compile your own, I very strongly suggest you use kernel-package | 21:23 |
| blistov | already done. | 21:24 |
| blistov | Now back to my original problem. | 21:24 |
| yeats | adaminsull_: rebooting it was necessary to fix the dpkg issues - you have something wrong with your system | 21:24 |
| blistov | *sigh*. | 21:24 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, You need to be on a live cd to resize Linux partitions they can't be mounted. You would right click on the sda3 partitiopn then resize and drag the right end as far as it will go. | 21:24 |
| adaminsull_ | Gonna delete all mysql | 21:24 |
| blistov | wols: installed Jack and then Xen no longer boots. errors out with ataN.00: failed to identify (i/o error | 21:24 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, If you use the list to remove the kde it should be gone. | 21:24 |
| blistov | using the same kernel for my other bootup. | 21:25 |
| blistov | works fine. | 21:25 |
| wols | !confmiss | 21:25 |
| blistov | same options other than the xen dom0 kernel is also loading. | 21:25 |
| wols | blistov: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename> | 21:25 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, and what is with swap space ? and why this can't happen on running system just asking | 21:25 |
| wols | that will recreate your vmlinuz symlink | 21:25 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM - I can now print from my machine | 21:25 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, its a long list and it is very risky , u lose lots of app,the kde login is good for start. | 21:26 |

| edlik | Can anyone help me. I upgraded to 12.10 and now my only display option is 640x480, it should be 1280x1024. I googled it and tried other suggestions to no avail. | 21:27 |
| thelinux | edlik: Install proprietary drivers. | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | edlik: what video chip are you using? | 21:27 |
| SamWeasley | *AndresSM - now I just need to setup it on a Windows machine | 21:27 |
| AndresSM | oh | 21:27 |
| AndresSM | ok | 21:27 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: windows 7? | 21:27 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM - yes | 21:28 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, I just noticed the swap is a primary and it is a sda4 you will have to remove it to resize the sda3 just put it back inside the extended so that you have the partitions in numerical order left to right | 21:28 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: just go to printers, add new printer | 21:28 |
| AndresSM | there select network printer | 21:28 |
| AndresSM | and printer wasn't listed | 21:28 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, so i'll be having no swap | 21:29 |
| thelinux | edlik: Go to System Settings;Software Sources;Additional Drivers tab. And install newest version driver for your graphics card. | 21:29 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: then the important step, Select printer by name and type: http://your_cups_ip:631/printers/printer_queue_name | 21:29 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, That extended can be resized from bothe ends and the partitions inside it as well. Never get the partition numbers out of line numerically left to right looking at them in gparted | 21:29 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: printerqueue name can be found in the cups web interface | 21:29 |

| AndresSM | and that should be all | 21:30 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, YOU can put gthe swap in the extended, you are going to expand it to the unallocated. | 21:30 |
| SamWeasley | AndresSM - okay. Thanks! | 21:31 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | how can i get rid of the kde login | 21:31 |
| mjc_ | what are you running ? | 21:31 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, so you suggesting that i'll first remove swap then size it and again allocate swap correct me if i wrong | 21:32 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | is the kde login screen = KDM | 21:32 |
| AndresSM | SamWeasley: let me know if it works | 21:33 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, You will have to remove the swap first to do anything with the sda3 yes. | 21:33 |

| ubuntu-fan001 | anyone? | 21:34 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | somebody | 21:34 |

| savio | wilee-nilee, thanks i'll report you what happened | 21:35 |
| edlik | thelinux: additional drivers tab is empty. how do I get it to recognize my graphics card? | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, You can then exspand the sda3 into te space the swap was in, and then the sd5 into the space left from the sda3 moved to the left. Now do this all one at a time, don't set all of this to run continuously | 21:35 |
| thelinux | edlik: What graphics card are you using? | 21:35 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | thelinux, jetole thanx | 21:35 |
| mjc_ | FrozenFire do you have ur windows 7 cd ? | 21:36 |

| thelinux | edlik: Did you directly upgraded from 12.04? I think you should do fresh install, cause I had problems when I directly upgraded distribution. Did Ubuntu recognized and downloaded drivers on 12.04? Or this problem occurs only on 12.10? | 21:41 |
| sevenforall | I read a lot about doing the inverse, but that's not what I'm looking for. The ID3 tags are all correct, the filenames aren't. | 21:41 |

| sevenforall | bekks: Could you give me a hint | 21:42 |
| sevenforall | + ? | 21:42 |
| systematical | bekks: the idea here is to turn my ubuntu system into a router, windows connects to eth0 and external requests go out wlan1 | 21:43 |

| wilee-nilee | t4b, One could probably write a script to do this, but it would seem easier to just pay attention, and also realize that you should not have your HD more then about 70% full to run optimally. | 21:43 |

| t4b | wilee-nilee, I found something called "autotrash" in the repo, trying it right now. I don't want to pay attention, I'm lazy. | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: not in dash, but your home folder? | 21:44 |
| nothingspecial | sevenforall: or use puddletag and click the big F | 21:45 |
| thelinux | edlik: Or problem even could be because of AMD's bad support for Linux drivers. I even had a problem back in Ubuntu 10.04 with my NVIDIA drivers. | 21:45 |
| sevenforall | bekks: My biggest problem is that I don't see anything that lets me actually apply/process it :P | 21:45 |

| sevenforall | bekks: It would be nice if it would show me what's going to change as well | 21:45 |
| rsolma | i heard amazon now is integrated? | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: so when you click the home folder in dash, you see an amazon thing? | 21:46 |
| bekks | sevenforall: It actually does. You tell it what you want to change. | 21:46 |
| wilee-nilee | rsolma, YOU can reach it from a lens | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: yes, it can be removed though, remove it if you don't want to use it | 21:46 |
| bekks | sevenforall: And changed files are marked in red, and get black after saving them. | 21:46 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, i did what u gave me but its gave me error | 21:46 |
| rsolma | i typed the terminal code | 21:46 |

| === Kony2013 is now known as lolcat | ||

| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, If it is only that 4 files then copy the list to a gedit and remove those from the list and run it again. The deal with doing it this way is the full desktop has to be there to begin with if not you have to edit the list. There may be other ways but not easier. | 21:51 |
| bassna | yeah when i first installed, it was like 2 weeks ago | 21:51 |
| guntbert | lilcyber: this is the ubuntu support channel, welcome | 21:51 |
| bassna | it gave me a error | 21:51 |
| bassna | let me find the command to open it | 21:51 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu-fan001, in order to really try out kde you need to install kubuntu-desktop | 21:51 |

| guntbert | lilcyber: sorry, no experience with nvidia here - but there are plenty helpers, if anyone knows an answer he will say so | 21:54 |

| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: did you install the proprietary driver? | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: do you use switchable graphics? | 22:01 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, Looks god except you have the swap as a sda7 that leaves you at the least having to remove that swap to do any resizing, and it will make all the partitions above it the sda8 revert to a sda7 | 22:01 |
| greenit | ActionParsnip: nvm, they are installed^^ | 22:01 |
| wilee-nilee | good* | 22:01 |
| lilcyber | Yes I did, and it doesn't give me the option do adjust the fan speed. Also What do you mean switchable graphics. Also I am using two monitors. ActionParsnip | 22:02 |
| adaminsull | How do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/kHy02Nsa | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you also see an intel GPU? | 22:02 |
| bassna | think i sent it? | 22:02 |
| lilcyber | Let me check ActionParsnip | 22:02 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330371/ here is fdisk output what about last line | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | greenit: ok, when you run the compile. What errors do you get? | 22:02 |
| defaultro | anyone familiar with netem | 22:03 |
| greenit | which compile? from the rt2800 module? | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, So just out of curiosity what did you run to remove anything before this. And is this the kubntu-desktop or kde exactly? | 22:03 |
| greenit | sry, forgot ActionParsnip ^^ | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | greenit: yes, I thought that was the issue in hand.... | 22:03 |

| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: I can't access pastebins here, locked down web sucks | 22:04 |
| lilcyber | Ah okay | 22:04 |
| greenit | ActionParsnip: nope, thats not the issue, i can load the module (it compiled without any errors), but the wireless card does not work as it did in 12.04... it sees the wireless network, but it can't connect to it.. 1 hr before it could (when 12.04 was on it).. | 22:04 |
| mspencer | how do I get an iso of the current development version? http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ only shows amd64 versions. | 22:04 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, fdsik list the partitions in numerical order, look closely at the start and stop end blocks | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | greenit: can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the wifi? | 22:04 |
| lilcyber | ActionParsnip, I pmd you | 22:05 |
| trism | mspencer: won't be isos yet | 22:05 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, yeah can i fixed that using x switch in advanced mode of fdisk | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: got :) | 22:05 |
| neure | how can i limit network usage? | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | neure: in what sense? | 22:05 |
| neure | i'd need to limit net speed globally | 22:05 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: What now? | 22:05 |
| lilcyber | Awesome | 22:05 |
| neure | say dont exceed 100kbit/s | 22:05 |
| mspencer | then how do I test the development version of packages? in quantal? | 22:06 |
| savio | wilee-nilee sorry using f switch | 22:06 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: please pastebin the complete command and output | 22:06 |
| cnf | neure: tc | 22:06 |
| bekks | mspencer: The safe way would be setting up a vm and upgrading quantal to 13.04 | 22:06 |
| neure | tc? how do i use it? | 22:07 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, Cool, but you understand that at least with gparted you can't resize a partition below a one out of order on the disc | 22:07 |
| greenit | ActionParsnip: nope, i can't even connect to my network... and with 8.8.8.8 it says network unreachable | 22:07 |
| guntbert | mspencer: join #ubuntu+1 | 22:07 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: http://pastebin.com/4hkUy1FL | 22:07 |
| mspencer | guntbert: thanks! | 22:07 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, gotcha | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | greenit: what interface do you get for the wifi? | 22:07 |
| greenit | ActionParsnip: ra0 | 22:08 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, I would just remove the swap again, I , mentioned this already, and resize the sda5 into that space. Then shrink the sda8 to the right and put the swap after it. you would be in numerical order then. | 22:08 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: we don't support having the root account enabled | 22:08 |
| guntbert | !sudo | adaminsull | 22:08 |
| ubottu | adaminsull: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:08 |
| adaminsull | So try with sudo? | 22:09 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, sorry resize the sd8 to the left for a unallocated for the swap. | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | greenit: hmmm, maybe you should make a udev rule to make it wlan0 which network manager seems to prefer | 22:09 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: Using sudo makes no difference? | 22:09 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: why did you enable the root account? | 22:09 |
| adaminsull | I dunno | 22:09 |
| guntbert | !root - adaminsull | 22:09 |
| ubottu | guntbert: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:09 |
| guntbert | !root | adaminsull | 22:09 |
| ubottu | adaminsull: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:09 |
| greenit | ActionParsnip: well... it worked smoothly until today, when i decided to upgrade to 12.10^^ | 22:09 |
| adaminsull | What should I do | 22:09 |
| StuckMojo | hi. how do you get rid of the resize grip in the bottom right corner of [terminal] windows in 12.10? .gtkrc-2.0 GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0 trick no longer works... | 22:09 |
| savio | wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330391/ here is after i use expert option | 22:10 |

| JSF16 | but nothing else. | 22:16 |
| rsolma | ok | 22:16 |
| adaminsull | I did "sudo passwd -dl root" | 22:16 |
| fantasmic | hi | 22:16 |
| rsolma | thats a good idea | 22:16 |
| JSF16 | The sound is not muted or anything, and sound meters in Pulse Control show that sound is coming out | 22:16 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: ^ | 22:17 |
| rsolma | do they reply | 22:17 |
| JSF16 | But no sound actually comes out | 22:17 |
| nothingspecial | rsolma: try it | 22:17 |
| JSF16 | Same with any plug-ins like headphones or speakers | 22:17 |
| rsolma | im just under the impression that ubuntu has now become like big brother | 22:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | rsolma: If you turn off the right lenses, ubuntu doesn't send your searches out, if that's what you're talking about. | 22:17 |
| JSF16 | So, does anyone have any ideas as to what to do? | 22:17 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: no | 22:17 |
| rsolma | yes thats what i meant | 22:18 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: yes, I should have told you to exit the session, but -- are you running on a remote machine? | 22:18 |
| rsolma | i cant tell you how many times ive gotten adds for the things i serch for | 22:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | rsolma: My understanding is that you can turn that stuff off in preferences somewhere. | 22:18 |
| furian | JSF16, from a terminal run alsamixer and check that the default device is selected and that the sliders are turned up | 22:18 |
| rsolma | its errie | 22:18 |
| rsolma | yep | 22:18 |
| adaminsull | I'm using mac terminal to ssh to it which works | 22:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | rsolma: Yes, I don't like it at all either (I use xubuntu so it hasn't been an issue for me yet) | 22:18 |
| rsolma | but what i meant was | 22:18 |
| adaminsull | but ftp nope | 22:18 |
| rsolma | whe you turn it off, is it really off | 22:19 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: what version of ubuntu are your running? | 22:19 |
| guntbert | !version | adaminsull | 22:19 |
| ubottu | adaminsull: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 22:19 |
| rsolma | im gonna ask | 22:19 |
| LordCrc | hi, i'm trying to preseed ubuntu, and i mostly got it working, but for some reason i just cant get the ubiquity/success_command working, it seems to not do anything at all... not even a simple "echo "foo" > /target/etc/foobar" any ideas on how i can find out why? | 22:19 |
| rsolma | cannonmical | 22:19 |
| JSF16 | One moment, | 22:19 |
| JSF16 | Alright. | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !shopping | rsolma | 22:20 |
| JSF16 | I have turned all my sliders up | 22:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | rsolma: My understanding is that it is indeed off if you put that setting on. You might need to log out/in for it to properly take effect, I'm not sure. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !amazon | 22:20 |
| JSF16 | And I BELIEVE that the default sound card is selected | 22:20 |
| rsolma | oh ok | 22:20 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: http://pastebin.com/593Zp5Vc | 22:20 |
| rsolma | good | 22:20 |
| IdleOne | !adlens | rsolma ActionParsnip | 22:20 |
| ubottu | rsolma ActionParsnip: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 22:20 |
| JSF16 | Negative on sound, the speakers still won't make a peep. | 22:21 |
| lilcyber | ActionParsnip, hey the gpu card is still around 60-65C | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: cheers | 22:21 |
| rsolma | yep i did remove all lenses | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: asking ubottu about it and she said: flight-of-the-amazon-queen made me smile, old school | 22:21 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: the reason for my question was that the only cases of std::bad_alloc seem to be from 2007 :) | 22:21 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | hey wilee-nilee , ijust autoremove --purge plasma-* | 22:22 |
| adaminsull | ok | 22:22 |
| rsolma | another question, in spotify | 22:22 |
| rsolma | oops | 22:22 |
| * ActionParsnip shows his age | 22:22 | |
| adaminsull | guntbert: What now? | 22:22 |
| rsolma | dont use enter as pause | 22:22 |

| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, Is that helping? | 22:22 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as mcasadevall | ||
| JSF16 | Can any other courses of action be recommended? | 22:23 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: 1) lets make certain that you don't loose the conection - is this a remote server? | 22:23 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, i dont know yet,but it has long list about 1.247 mb will be free it says | 22:23 |
| adaminsull | I think | 22:23 |
| adaminsull | I use ssh to access it | 22:23 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: | 22:23 |
| rsolma | in spotify, the background is black due to the mediteranean dark theme | 22:23 |
| furian | JSF16, in sound what is your chosen sound device? | 22:23 |
| Linkandzelda__ | guys quick, how do i launch the window manager from terminal? i just enabled "wobbly windows" and now i have no window borders or dock or menu bar, but i have a terminal open lol | 22:23 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, i dont know yet,but it has long list about 1247 mb will be free it says | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yay web access :) | 22:24 |
| JSF16 | Pardon, chosen sound service? | 22:24 |
| JSF16 | Do you mean my sound card? | 22:24 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | oh god what have i done | 22:25 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, All I will say here is that pecking at it is not advised, if it were me I would see if you can get a full kubuntu-desktop install, then try the list | 22:25 |
| rsolma | in spotify the background is dark because of the mediterranean dark them i cant see the font when i type? | 22:25 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: so please start a 2nd ssh session, but with your normal user instead of root (I know that doesn't help against std::bad_alloc :-)) | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | JSF16: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 22:25 |
| furian | in sound preferences do ou have more than one sound device to choose from? | 22:25 |
| rsolma | like windows, does ubuntu not work well with dark themes? | 22:25 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, how do u get full kubuntu-desktop???!!! | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: the default theme is quite dark | 22:26 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: can SSH not FTP | 22:26 |
| rsolma | actionparsnip: true | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-gnomishdark-theme-on-ubuntu.html | 22:26 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu-fan001, Try this and see if you get any errors sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:26 |
| MattJCliffe | ubuntu-fan001 dont you just download the kubuntu iso | 22:26 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: ircd ftp works | 22:26 |
| adaminsull | not root | 22:26 |
| === Varazir_ is now known as Varazir | ||
| guntbert | adaminsull: so you have two ssh connections now? one as root and one as your user? | 22:27 |
| lilcyber | ActionParsnip, the temp is went up back to 65C | 22:27 |
| adaminsull | SSH yes but FTP just ircd | 22:27 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | MattJCliffe, no i use unity and i installed kde-full package | 22:27 |
| JSF16 | Oh.... | 22:27 |
| StuckMojo | god damn it. none of the ways to get rid of these *stupid* resize grips work in 12.10. | 22:27 |
| JSF16 | I, fixed it. | 22:27 |
| JSF16 | Aaaand now feel like an idiot. | 22:27 |
| StuckMojo | this is really irritating | 22:28 |
| JSF16 | Well thank you for your time. | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: all I can recommend is remove all nvidia packages (except nvidia-common) then reinstall nvidia-current then reboot | 22:28 |
| JSF16 | Helped me find where to go | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: have you checked the cooling on the card | 22:28 |
| lilcyber | What do you mean by that ActionParsnip ? | 22:28 |
| JSF16 | Sufficiently humilated now, I'll step out | 22:28 |
| JSF16 | Have a good day | 22:28 |
| wilee-nilee | MattJCliffe, This a remove kubuntu exercise, stuff was removed ahead of time and a pckg list for removing everything is erring. | 22:28 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: I don't care about ftp just now! please once more (in the new connection) type sudo apt-get update (and pastebin it ) | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: what part is causing you confusion? | 22:28 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | wilee-nilee, if it not working ,after that i try ur way | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | Linkandzelda__: Try "unity --replace" and if that doesn't work then "unity --reset" (which will reset all compiz settings and restart unity). | 22:29 |

| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: hope they aren't using Quantal ;) | 22:29 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: ircd is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 22:29 |
| cosmo | hey, anyone wanna give a linux noob a hand? | 22:29 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | cosmo | 22:29 |
| ubottu | cosmo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lilcyber: there will be a cooling solution on the card, check it is clear of fluff and junk | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: Why? (if they shouldn't run either of those commands please warn them). | 22:29 |
| lilcyber | Meaning the thermal paste? | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: --reset is deprecated in Quantal afaik | 22:30 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | hey another question i have i installed ubuntu 12.10 on the other machine i have trouble with the /boot | 22:31 |
| cosmo | oh. kay, well i'm trying to use terminal to install a program, following the install instructions i have to use ./configure, but once i do it tells me it is unable to find the qmake tool for Qt 4 | 22:31 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | i have /boot partition separate from the / | 22:31 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: what is that remote system? A VPS? | 22:31 |
| adaminsull | yea | 22:31 |
| cosmo | !patience | 22:32 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | and when i wanted the grub be on that partition(/boot) | 22:32 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:32 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: Yes | 22:33 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | it gave me the minigrub4dos | 22:33 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: you might have said so in the beginning - please use the "root" connection to reenable the root password | 22:33 |
| ubuntu-fan001 | and wont boot | 22:33 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: So enable what I disabled? | 22:34 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: yes, many vps come configured differently, and I don't want to change that right now | 22:35 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: Done | 22:36 |
| adaminsull | Now what? | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: sounds like you haven't got all the dependencies installed | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: what are you trying to build? | 22:36 |
| cosmo | i'm trying to install qbittorrent, but i think i just figured it out | 22:37 |
| guntbert | adaminsull: the obvious reason for your apt-get problem seems to be "not enough memory", what are the specs of your system? do you run any "big" programs? | 22:37 |
| cosmo | i did a sudo -apt get thing for Qt4 | 22:37 |
| rsolma | actionparsnip:awsome site | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: what is? | 22:38 |
| rsolma | noobslabs | 22:38 |
| rsolma | the theme site | 22:38 |
| adaminsull | guntbert: MY RAM HAS BEEN SWOLLOWED | 22:38 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: you probably want some dev packages too | 22:38 |
| cosmo | yeah, ran ./configure again and got a new reason for not working: There was an error compiling 'conf'. See conf.log for details. | 22:38 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: qbittorrent is packaged for 12.04 at least | 22:39 |
| Linkandzelda | Jordan_U: after running that command I lost keyboard input, and it didnt solve the problem. so i force restarted and now i'm back in | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rsolma: i just searched and it came up. Never seen it before personally | 22:39 |

| adaminsull | it's just gone | 22:54 |
| cnf | adaminsull: go find out why you have no swap | 22:54 |
| MattJCliffe | adaminsull: are you sure its not in your pocket | 22:54 |
| bekks | adaminsull: You can install whatever you want. With the free RAM you currently have. | 22:54 |
| adaminsull | Sure | 22:54 |

| gordonjcp | cosmo: have you tried "sudo apt-get build-dep qbittorrent" ? | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | adaminsull: Is the 177Mb the used RAM for the process or is it the data amount to download and install mysql? | 22:56 |

| cnf | adaminsull: there is no such thing as "lost ram" | 22:58 |
| alabala | xangua, thanks | 22:58 |
| xangua | newbchessplayer: or you could use a usb | 22:59 |
| adaminsull | cnf: Then why is it used 300MB doing nothing? | 22:59 |

| cnf | and what i can't do is swap out | 22:59 |
| cnf | because you have no swap | 22:59 |
| newbchessplayer | xangua, i dont want to use a usb because it's impossible to permanently insert malware into a dvd-rw | 22:59 |

| adaminsull | I wanna delete mysql for now anyway | 23:00 |
| newbchessplayer | cnf where are those?? | 23:00 |
| newbchessplayer | nvm ill google | 23:00 |
| bekks | adaminsull: Do you need mysql and apache? | 23:01 |
| MattJCliffe | adaminsull If i was you id go for a fresh install your apt-get problems seam to come from corrupt point files | 23:01 |
| OerHeks | rephy222, laggy internet sometimes cleares afer restart browser. | 23:01 |
| adaminsull | bekks: Yes but not yet | 23:01 |
| bekks | MattJCliffe: Thats totally not the problem he is having ;) | 23:01 |
| rephy222 | tried that | 23:01 |
| bekks | adaminsull: Then stop those services. | 23:01 |
| adaminsull | How | 23:01 |
| Shirakawasuna | rephy222: Depends on where it's lagging. Might be a crappy dns | 23:01 |
| adaminsull | I wanna delete them for now as they are useless | 23:01 |
| cnf | adaminsull: i think you should not be using a VPS | 23:02 |
| adaminsull | cnf: I should | 23:02 |
| cnf | adaminsull: unless you want to invest quite some time learning linux | 23:02 |
| adaminsull | bekks: How do I just delete then | 23:02 |
| rephy222 | thats what im thinking | 23:02 |
| rephy222 | i tried installing a dnsproxy and i think it messed something up | 23:02 |
| bekks | adaminsull: You dont want to delete them. You want to just stop them working. | 23:02 |
| adaminsull | bekks: | 23:03 |
| adaminsull | Ok | 23:03 |
| cnf | adaminsull: no, you really shouldn't, it requires at least some knowledge to manage one. knowledge isn't aquired overnight | 23:03 |
| adaminsull | then how | 23:03 |
| adaminsull | cnf: I'm normally ok | 23:03 |

| rephy222 | any way to fix it | 23:03 |
| MattJCliffe | bekks: apt-get gives errors that point towards a corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/status file dont they ? | 23:03 |
| adaminsull | bekks: mysqld: unrecognized service | 23:03 |
| bekks | adaminsull: Then use mysql instead mysqld | 23:04 |
| adaminsull | WHAT THE HECK | 23:04 |
| adaminsull | That used all my ram up | 23:04 |
| bekks | adaminsull: Using ALL your RAM is totally OK. | 23:04 |
| adaminsull | mysql I mean | 23:04 |
| * cnf facepalms | 23:05 | |
| bekks | adaminsull: Then stop that service. | 23:05 |

| bekks | adaminsull: Whats "anope? | 23:06 |
| adaminsull | irc services | 23:06 |
| bekks | Never heard of that. | 23:06 |
| adaminsull | ok | 23:06 |
| rephy222 | it seems like i connect for a while then i lagg out and dissconnect | 23:06 |
| rephy222 | doesnt make sense | 23:06 |
| bekks | adaminsull: You should not install IRC services unless you are pretty comfortable with the OS you are running those services on. | 23:06 |
| adaminsull | bekks: It's ok as I know how it works when it's up | 23:07 |
| cosmo | that seems to have done the trick gordonjcp, thanks | 23:07 |

| bekks | cnf: It's dead, Jim. Let him go. ;) | 23:09 |
| cnf | no kidding | 23:09 |
| bekks | adaminsull: I just told you how to stop it (the "stop" thing) - replace that with "start" to start the service again. | 23:09 |
| gustav__ | Why do you constantly dumb down on people? | 23:09 |
| adaminsull | ok | 23:09 |
| adaminsull | na it used it all up | 23:10 |
| adaminsull | bekks: Can I install phpbb without mysql? | 23:10 |
| cnf | i don't think you understand how ram works | 23:10 |
| cnf | or how a computer works | 23:10 |
| adaminsull | I do | 23:10 |
| bekks | adaminsull: I never used phpbb for the known security concerns of that software. | 23:10 |
| cnf | adaminsull: you have so far demonstrated that you really don't | 23:11 |
| adaminsull | ok | 23:11 |
| adaminsull | cnf: Because I don't know ubuntu | 23:11 |
| cnf | adaminsull: you don't know linux | 23:11 |
| adaminsull | cnf: true | 23:11 |
| adaminsull | bekks: Can I uninstall mysql and attemp a reinstall at a later date? | 23:11 |
| adaminsull | attempt | 23:11 |
| bekks | adaminsull: You dont have to DELETE it. STOP the service and you'll be fine. | 23:12 |
| * cnf face palms again | 23:12 | |
| adaminsull | But I need it for phpbb | 23:12 |
| cnf | adaminsull: you don't even listen to what people tell you | 23:12 |
| gustav__ | How can I list installed packages on size? | 23:12 |
| adaminsull | cnf: Yes but I need it | 23:12 |
| bekks | adaminsull: So if you need it - why do you want to delete it? | 23:12 |
| adaminsull | bekks: because it's mucked up | 23:12 |
| cnf | adaminsull: you don't pay ANY attention, do you? | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | Then it can we reinstalled | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | cnf: YES | 23:13 |
| cnf | adaminsull: NO | 23:13 |
| bekks | adaminsull: It is NORMAL, not mocked up. | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | lol | 23:13 |
| bekks | adaminsull: mysql needs some RAM, believe it or not. | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | bekks: 300MB of it? | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | 350* | 23:13 |
| bekks | adaminsull: Thats pretty low, to be honest. | 23:13 |
| cnf | depends on your settings | 23:13 |
| adaminsull | JEz | 23:13 |
| cnf | adaminsull: and YOUR SWAP! | 23:14 |
| bekks | adaminsull: I am running DB servers using about 240GB RAM. So 350M is not much. | 23:14 |

| gustav__ | OerHeks: How can I get stuff _really_ deleted? Purge doesn't seem to do it. With apt-get I mean. | 23:15 |
| gustav__ | Or does it? | 23:15 |
| rephy222 | try apt-get remove | 23:16 |

| cornell | I've just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, and am using Gnome Classic. Seems that windows tend to pop around... When I shift a browser window halfway to another workspace (so I can still see the desired info, and have full view another window), and then switch to another window, the first window pops back to be fully displayed on the one workspace. I also have at least one window (kpatience) that tends to pop to the bottom of the workspac | 23:16 |

| Jarvix_ | hi | 23:16 |
| cnf | virt* | 23:16 |

| Krywk | Uhm... Hello. | 23:23 |
| Krywk | I'm having kind of a problem here on Ubuntu 11.10. | 23:23 |
| Linkandzelda | nvm, got it | 23:23 |
| MattJCliffe | Krywk whats that | 23:24 |
| Krywk | I wanna do some screencasting with video and audio. Also, no lags, and with desktop audio AND mic. I tried ffmpeg but it only records my mic. | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Krywk: wassup? | 23:24 |
| Krywk | ffmpeg seems really perfect, I get no lags at all. But the problem is I want to record both system audio and the mic. | 23:24 |
| Krywk | Whoops, sorry. | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Krywk: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/kazam/ | 23:26 |
| Krywk | I tried it. I get lots of lags. | 23:26 |
| MattJCliffe | Krywk: xsplit ? | 23:27 |
| Krywk | Tried it too. It also lags. :/ | 23:27 |
| MattJCliffe | even with settings modified | 23:27 |
| Krywk | I've tried recordmydesktop and its GTK, too. I doesn't work. | 23:27 |
| Krywk | :/ | 23:27 |
| MattJCliffe | xsplit seams good because u can really tune the quality | 23:27 |
| Krywk | Huh. | 23:27 |
| Krywk | Where do I get it? I forgot. | 23:28 |
| Krywk | is it this one? | 23:28 |
| Krywk | http://www.xsplit.com/get/ | 23:28 |
| MattJCliffe | ah apparantly ur right its really choppy on linux | 23:28 |
| MattJCliffe | some virtualisation stuff | 23:28 |
| Krywk | My only problem is recording system sound. | 23:29 |
| Krywk | Here's my FFMPEG command: | 23:29 |
| Krywk | ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1600x900 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 4 -y -qscale 0 vidcast.mkv | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Krywk: you may need another command to capture sound then mesh the 2 with some video editting software. Or you can go to youtube where people record sound and video to see how they achieve their results | 23:30 |
| MattJCliffe | sounds silly but have u tried skype ? | 23:30 |
| Krywk | I've tried the youtube one. | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | sudo rm -rf /usr/share/sounds | 23:30 |
| Krywk | Uhh, Skype? | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | bah, mistab | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | disregard | 23:30 |
| MattJCliffe | u can tell it to use ur video driver as the webcam | 23:30 |
| Krywk | nice try gordonjcp. | 23:30 |
| pepee | Krywk, can you specify an input device in ffmpeg? | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | Krywk: works better in the right window | 23:31 |
| === testib2 is now known as testib | ||
| pepee | there is a command line tool called arecord, I've never used it but I suppose it could be useful | 23:31 |
| Krywk | MattJCliffe, I need just to record system sound. Video works fine. | 23:31 |
| Krywk | arecord? Gonna check it out. | 23:31 |
| remu | Hey Folks, I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04 server which shares files using Samba. I was able to access the files with out a problem before from Windows 7/8, but I ran into issues with my router. After setting my router back up, I can no longer access the shares. I am able to ping the machine, reach it's DLNA server, ssh into it, but I can't seem to access the samba shares. | 23:31 |
| MattJCliffe | would be nice if one prog did it all but yea there is a good walkthroiugh to recording with skype on the ubuntu wiki# | 23:32 |
| Krywk | well that's just sound. | 23:32 |
| Krywk | I'm pretty sure that if I play with the FFMPEG settings I can get them both. | 23:32 |
| Krywk | Or with the pavucontrol settings. | 23:32 |
| usr13 | remu: I would suppose it is a software issue on one end or the other. | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: tried restarting the samba service? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: if you have SSH installed, you have an SFTP server too :) | 23:33 |
| gordonjcp | Krywk: what are you trying to do? | 23:33 |
| === testib is now known as testib2 | ||
| Krywk | Record mic and system sound with video on Ubuntu 11.10. | 23:33 |
| Krywk | I've managed to record all but system sound. | 23:34 |
| cosmo | gordonjcp, i hit another snag. ./configure worked, but when i input "make && make install" as per the install instructions i get a wall of text, and typing the program name doesn't start it. | 23:34 |
| remu | I've tried restarting the samba service as well as the computer itself. | 23:34 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: well, does this "wall of text" include any error messages? | 23:34 |
| remu | My wife just checked, and she can access the server from her Macbook, so looks like the issue is probably with my Windows 8 instance. | 23:34 |
| cosmo | none that i can figure out, want me to copy+paste it to you? | 23:34 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: yeah, might as well | 23:35 |
| Krywk | Well one thing's for sure, if you compile anything and run into any errors, it'll get interrupted, finishing with make[x] *** Error x | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | cosmo: pastebin please | 23:35 |
| lilcyber | ActionParsnip, I tried everything and the temp will not go down on the graphics card. | 23:35 |

| Krywk | Well uh | 23:36 |
| Krywk | any suggestions? | 23:36 |

| Krywk | I managed to record system audio | 23:38 |
| paulsomebody | How can I restore status quo? | 23:38 |
| Krywk | but now my mic does not record | 23:38 |
| cosmo | looks like it's trying to create a directory but can't, but i don't know | 23:38 |
| usr13 | remu: Is your samba server on a static IP? | 23:38 |
| edlik | thelinux: still nothing. maybe I did it wrong but after the download I clicked on the file and it ran gedit for a long time but nothing seamed to happen afterwords | 23:39 |
| remu | usr13, yes, it is on a static IP. | 23:39 |
| usr13 | ok | 23:39 |
| remu | usr13, I don't think it would have anything to do with the wins resolution, since I can't reach it with IP either. | 23:39 |
| remu | for the shares that is. | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: I'd try mapping a network drive, it can help | 23:40 |

| Krywk | I figured out what's wrong | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Medjai, Have you perchance started a thread at the ubuntu forums? | 23:44 |
| paulsomebody | Can KDE and Unity desktop co-exist peacefully without ruining each others settings under one user account? | 23:45 |

| Krywk | in pavucontrol, you only get to choose ONE input device | 23:45 |

| Krywk | How do I choose both? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | remu: have you configured any firewalling on the server? | 23:45 |
| remu | ActionParsnip, no I haven't. Like I said this had been working fine in the past. | 23:45 |

| Medjai | Ok, thanks for the heads up wilee-nilee . | 23:46 |
| thelinux | edlik: Will you be tomorrow here too? So I can see if that will work and help out till you solve your problem. | 23:46 |
| Medjai | blackshirt, do you have experience with this? | 23:46 |
| Krywk | in ffmpeg, I can record mic but not system audio, or vice-versa. This is a problem with pavucontrol. | 23:46 |

| chaospsychex | Krywk: have you tried 'alsa-mixer' ? | 23:47 |
| Krywk | You know the 'tick' there is on pavucontrol on 'Input devices' under 'All input devices'? | 23:47 |
| chaospsychex | Krywk: what about it... | 23:48 |
| Krywk | Well, I can select only one of them. | 23:48 |
| Krywk | Which is my problem. | 23:48 |
| Krywk | I select one, the other gets de-selected. | 23:48 |
| chaospsychex | alsa-mixer | 23:48 |
| Krywk | I select the other, the one gets de-selected. | 23:48 |
| Krywk | Uh-huh, what do I do in it? | 23:48 |
| paulsomebody | gustav__: Thanks, this have solved my issue. | 23:48 |
| chaospsychex | first 'man alsa-mixer' | 23:48 |
| chaospsychex | then 'alsa-mixer' | 23:48 |
| gustav__ | paulsomebody: Good stuff. | 23:49 |
| Krywk | I'm on alsa-mixer. I can't see 'Internal Audio' here. | 23:49 |
| Krywk | The only important thing I see is Rear Mic. | 23:49 |
| chaospsychex | man alsa-mixer | 23:49 |
| gustav__ | paulsomebody: Not sure about the splash screens. I've never installed KDE in ubuntu. | 23:49 |
| paulsomebody | gustav__: Okay. There must be an app for that too, I'll look for it. | 23:50 |
| paulsomebody | However, can KDE and Unity desktop co-exist peacefully without ruining each others settings under one user account? | 23:50 |
| yeats | paulsomebody: yes | 23:50 |
| Linkandzelda | so is there a replacement for the "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" package? I cant seem to find the gears plugin in my compiz on 12.10 | 23:50 |
| remu | usr13, heres the relevent tcpdump I ran the command you asked for and piped it to grep draga. draga is my laptops name, and myst is the server name. | 23:50 |

| paulsomebody | I understand that by settings GTK+ settings to normal, I have made all GTK+ apps look bad in KDE, and vice versa. Is this always tru? | 23:51 |
| gustav__ | GTK can be configured individually, as you've seen. I'd say it's messy at best. | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | paulsomebody, The splash screen is selected via " update-alternatives " | 23:51 |
| paulsomebody | OerHeks: Okay, I'll give it a try. | 23:51 |
| yeats | paulsomebody: yeah - its hard to make each look good in the other environment :-/ | 23:51 |
| chaospsychex | kde problem ? | 23:52 |
| paulsomebody | yeats: Okay, I get it. Is there no way to configure startup apps for each DE individually as well? | 23:52 |
| chaospsychex | ofcourse there is | 23:52 |
| paulsomebody | chaospsychex: Would be thrilled to hear about it. | 23:53 |
| Krywk | chaospsychex, what am I supposed to look for in man alsamixer? | 23:53 |
| yeats | paulsomebody: yeah, but it's been a while since I lived in KDE so I don't remember specifics | 23:53 |
| paulsomebody | yeats: Okay, no pressure. | 23:53 |
| chaospsychex | Krywk: the purple elephant, obviously | 23:54 |
| Krywk | I've seen the -V option with playback and capture. The only thing I'm seeing that's important is the Record and Record 1. Record was set to Line, my options are Line, Front Mic or Rear Mic. | 23:54 |
| Krywk | Nothing that shows me we're ready to record system sound. | 23:54 |
| JimmyNeutron | I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10 x64 onto my laptop and have 3 partitions: /dev/sda1 - ext4, /dev/sda2 - swapfs, /dev/sda3 - ntfs. Ubuntu does not see any of my partitions. However, if I use sudo fdisk /dev/sda, I can see all 3 partitions. How come Ubuntu can't see my partitions from the installation GUI? | 23:54 |
| Krywk | Also that wasn't funny. Try harder ;) | 23:55 |
| chaospsychex | Krywk: lol | 23:55 |
| paulsomebody | Okay, I got it. Splash screen manager is actually Synaptic. | 23:55 |
| paulsomebody | My hat's off to usability experts at Canonical. | 23:55 |
| Krywk | Okay, so what am I looking for in manpage, chaospsychex? | 23:56 |
| chaospsychex | Krywk: you want to capture audio from your mic and from system sounds right ? | 23:56 |
| Krywk | Yes. | 23:56 |
| chaospsychex | what application are you attempting to do that with? making a tutorial video ? | 23:57 |
| Krywk | Uh, I'm using ffmpeg. And no, it's for making playthroughs. | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | JimmyNeutron: have you fsck'fd the partitions? | 23:57 |
| Krywk | Why is my reasons to use it relevant? | 23:58 |
| Krywk | are* | 23:58 |
| burdickjp | I recently upgraded from kubuntu active 12.04 to 12.10 now on boot I get an otherwise blank screen with 'plymouthd: ply-terminal.c:611: ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal != ((void *)0)' failed. at the top | 23:58 |
| chaospsychex | Krywk: playthroughs of what? snes game ? | 23:59 |
| JimmyNeutron | ActionParsnip: Do I need to run a fsck on the partitions when they are newly created? I just created the /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using fdisk, wrote the changes, and reboot to restart the installation. | 23:59 |
| gustav__ | Oh yeah. How do I disable that stupid boot thing with dots that don't say anything? | 23:59 |
| burdickjp | I can ALT+Fx to other TTYs, but it will not accept a user name and password to log on | 23:59 |
