| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip, gordonjcp: working on it now. | 00:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Sean21_: its a package name. Install it in software centre, or in a terminal, run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 00:00 |
| OerHeks | Linkandzelda, please don't post youtube url's here, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 00:00 |
| ablyss | i know when I upgraded to 12.10 i had to tweak a lot of my scripts. bash related | 00:00 |
| Sean21_ | ActionParsnip: do I type run or just "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4" | 00:01 |
| gordonjcp | Sean21_: sorry, xfce4 | 00:01 |
| gordonjcp | Sean21_: if you're doing it from the command line, install xubuntu-desktop | 00:02 |

| Linkandzelda | OerHeks: sorry :/ | 00:03 |
| [TiZ] | The script has three parts, and all three of them are there. I do some pretty dumb things in it, but as far as I know, nothing that should cause applications to behave strangely. | 00:05 |
| xrdodrx | Why does `echo -e "\033(0"` do what it does? (note: this command is not malicious. simply reopen your terminal or type `reset` and enter to reverse its effects. i'm just curious | 00:05 |
| Sean21_ | gordonjcp: that command is not correct | 00:06 |
| xrdodrx | a friend showed it to me but he doesn't know why it works either :p | 00:06 |
| xrdodrx | or rather, what it really does. it looks like it sends ascii character 3 (ETX) then 3(0...? i have no idea | 00:07 |
| [TiZ] | ActionParsnip: I added the config file sourced by gamerun to the paste: http://pastie.org/5337680 | 00:09 |
| Sean21_ | gordonjcp: also when i search in app center, only thing that shows is Xubuntu restricted extras | 00:09 |
| * rootpt is away: busy | 00:10 | |
| [TiZ] | And here is a log of trying to run something inside the separate x server: http://pastie.org/5337682 | 00:10 |
| === StickMan1 is now known as tehStickMan | ||
| [TiZ] | When I run the same program using only xinit cmd -- :2, the same behavior is exhibited except without the convenience of having a window manager to kill the unresponsive application for me. | 00:12 |
| xrdodrx | oh, i figured it out | 00:14 |
| xrdodrx | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_2022#ISO.2FIEC_2022_character_sets | 00:14 |
| [TiZ] | Every application I've tested so far behaves the same way: Kega Fusion, Neverball, even Nikki and the Robots. When I quit, they just sit there and hang until I kill them. They work fine if I run them in my regular X server. | 00:14 |
| xrdodrx | echo -e "\033(B" takes you back | 00:14 |
| xrdodrx | thanks if anyone cared :p | 00:15 |

| govinda | at least a polite one... | 00:21 |

| [TiZ] | Oh, so we're crossing that line, huh? :b | 00:22 |
| Magiobiwan | I was quoting him | 00:23 |
| [TiZ] | It's lies and slander. Use your imagination~ | 00:23 |
| govinda | dont get naugthy | 00:23 |
| govinda | govinda feels kinky | 00:23 |
| [TiZ] | ...Anyways, I should probably not contribute further to that line of conversation. | 00:23 |
| Sean21_ | lol | 00:23 |
| [TiZ] | Programs. Separate X server. Hanging. Scripts used to start stuff in separate X: http://pastie.org/5337680 Log of stuff running in separate X: http://pastie.org/5337682 | 00:24 |
| [TiZ] | It worked perfectly fine in Precise. I think I may have had to add myself to certain user groups. I know I have to be in video and audio. What else? | 00:24 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: what's the simplest program you can make hang? Do they hang without your script? Without a wm? | 00:26 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: how long do you wait to see if they'll quit? do you get output to your tty if you start them without a wm? | 00:27 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: does using startx instead of xinit make a difference? | 00:27 |
| jrib | hmm, I think that's all I have for now [TiZ] :P | 00:27 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: Good questions to ask. Well, a good example is neverball since it's in the repos. | 00:27 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: They do indeed hang without my script, and without my wm. But in my regular xubuntu session, they start up and quit just fine. | 00:28 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: also, try a different user that isn't logged in anywhere else (just log in at a tty) | 00:28 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: regarding a simpler program, how about xclock? or xmoto? | 00:28 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: startx instead of xinit makes no difference. I wait... about 15 seconds, usually. This is Linux, not Windows. If it doesn't quit in 15, it's not gonna quit. | 00:28 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: Ah, good idea. | 00:29 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: leave it sitting for a couple of minutes just to see what happens | 00:29 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: also, while it hangs, see if anything interesting is going on with regards to memory/cpu usage | 00:29 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: And xclock does quit immediately. | 00:29 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: Okay, I'll give neverball another go and take a look at the cpu usage. | 00:30 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: my initial guess is it's related to sound. Just a random guess | 00:30 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: (because I had mplayer hang in the past because of some pulse issue) | 00:30 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: Nothing interesting going on with cpu or memory usage. | 00:31 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: It's interesting you should say that; I have no sound right now. | 00:31 |
| Ephexeve | question, I install ubuntu on the EEPC, but the resolution is horrible | 00:31 |
| Ephexeve | too big | 00:31 |
| Ephexeve | and I cannot change it in the settings, any clue? | 00:31 |
| [TiZ] | Or rather... apps I run in separate X have no sound. | 00:31 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: Okay, something weird happened. The instant I switched back to the game's tty to check on it, it quit. | 00:32 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: could be something console-kit related too | 00:33 |
| [TiZ] | Awesome, so I have to check pulse and consolekit. | 00:33 |
| [TiZ] | And I say awesome in the most sarcastic way possible. :P | 00:33 |
| jrib | heh | 00:33 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: I'd try killing pulse and disabling it from autospawning, then launching the separate X process. Just to see if the behavior changed | 00:34 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: How do I keep pulse from autospawning? | 00:36 |
| XiaolinDraconis | for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to install compiz extra plugins... while ccsm was running | 00:36 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: add/edit a line in ~/.pulse/client.conf that says "autospawn = no" | 00:36 |
| jrib | XiaolinDraconis: did your ubuntu make you a grilled cheese? Because if so... I think it was a good idea. | 00:37 |
| XiaolinDraconis | jrib, it may possibly have my laptop running hot enough to | 00:38 |
| jrib | XiaolinDraconis: haha | 00:38 |
| blackshirt | where a best places to ask about linux programming ? | 00:38 |
| XiaolinDraconis | im trying to have patience with this, but so far the system is entirely unresponsive | 00:38 |
| jrib | blackshirt: usually pick a language and go to that language's channel | 00:38 |
| simplew | my mouse stops working without apparent reason, any one knows why? i see that this is a problem that has happened to other ubuntu users | 00:39 |
| blackshirt | jrib, i think in C, do you know where it is? | 00:39 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: That seems to have fixed it. Applications now run and quit without anomaly on the second X server. But I still have no sound over there. | 00:39 |
| jrib | blackshirt: ##c | 00:39 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: alright, well that narrows it down at least. Is there a reason you use xinit instead of startx? Does xinit use some file or does it only spawn a single program you give it? | 00:40 |
| blackshirt | jrib, thanks | 00:40 |
| [TiZ] | jrib: No particular reason. Honestly, I'm not sure what the difference between the two is. | 00:41 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: alright, anyway, I don't feel like reading your script, but presumably you have something in ~/.xinitrc? Or how do you start the window manager? | 00:42 |
| saustin | I'm trying to use smbmount and I keep getting this error /usr/bin/smbmount: line 115: /sbin/mount.cifs: No such file or directory | 00:42 |

| ActionParsnip | deper29: then how can you advise? Not all systems need, or can even use proprietary drivers. Most netbooks use crappy Intel or SiS or Chrome GPUs. | 00:52 |

| resc_user_3885 | someone help me XD | 01:11 |
| fellayaboy | its using* the older ati thats functions with 12.10 | 01:12 |
| fellayaboy | is there any possible way to just rip compiz off the face of the map with unity | 01:13 |

| fellayaboy | gdea73 u dont like using ctrl+alt+t to open up terminal? | 01:15 |
| xangua | gdea73: you mean control+alt+t ¿ | 01:15 |
| Ephexeve | ActionParsnip: just 32 bits, kernel 3.2.0-32-generic | 01:15 |
| deper29 | simplew: uname -r will tell you your kernel. the latest kernel is on kernel.org | 01:15 |
| gdea73 | fellayaboy: No, I prefer Super+T. | 01:16 |
| gdea73 | In the past, I always mapped Super+T to opening the terminal. | 01:16 |
| simplew | deper29: i will only use kernel packaged form ubuntu, but whats the meta package to upgrade kernel? | 01:16 |
| gdea73 | It's a matter of personal preference, Super+T is easier to do with the left pinky and index finger, whereas Ctrl+Alt+T is less ergonomic. | 01:16 |

| fellayaboy | but are you sure i will be able to boot into my system even after i do that..i dont have my server near me..its through remote u know | 01:21 |
| fellayaboy | i cant believe i have to use commerical software liek teamviewer to look at my remote pc ...and whats crazy is that teamviewer works very well but it needs someone on ther other end | 01:22 |
| Gnosis- | If my ext4 partition is not aligned on an "optimal I/O" sector boundary, does this mean there will be wasteful reading and writing, or will ext4 be able to compensate? | 01:23 |

| Ephexeve | ActionParsnip: Cry baby cry | 01:30 |
| Ephexeve | ActionParsnip: One, compiz SUCKS | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ephexeve: doesn't answer the questrion | 01:31 |
| Ephexeve | and the integration with Ubuntu is even worst | 01:31 |
| somsip | xevwork: php -a is as much as you get, or you use something like phpsh | 01:31 |
| Ephexeve | 1.) As a developer, take alook at that code | 01:31 |
| Ephexeve | and you tell me | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ephexeve: I wasn't questioning if it sucked or not. You said it was out of date. Which it isn't | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ephexeve: I'm asking where you heard this frmo | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ephexeve: it being out of date is all I am questioning of you. Noting more | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | *nothing | 01:32 |
| xevwork | somsip: Yes, but php -a works differently on 10.04 vs 12.04 - I get an interactive shell on 10.04, vs interactive mode on 12.04. | 01:32 |
| xevwork | somsip: shell means you have a prompt and you get responses immediately and completiong and stuff. mode means you just type the contents of the php file, hit control-d, then it gets executed | 01:33 |
| gdea73 | pm-suspend.log says that NetworkManager failed to wake up the interfaces | 01:33 |
| fellayaboy | the website says rewrite has been announced on 24th December 2009 | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ephexeve: It's not out of date at all. Is it? | 01:33 |
| JimmyNeutron | On 12.04.1, sometimes when I reboot my computer, I get the console instead of X11. Any idea why? | 01:33 |
| gdea73 | but I still fail to see how this is related to waking up the screen | 01:33 |
| gdea73 | I intend to install fglrx, would the situation be better or worse? | 01:33 |
| somsip | xevwork: then php -a is working fine as an interactive shell on my 12.04 | 01:33 |
| xevwork | somsip: Let me check if I've got a package from a ppa or something... | 01:33 |
| fellayaboy | man ati drivers suck...are any nvidia cards not working witht he lastest xorg | 01:33 |

| ActionParsnip | amy: yay :) | 01:36 |
| Sean21_ | ActionParsnip: how do I go abouts doing that? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | amy: the decoder is not installed by default, you need a package to install it. It also is not a dep of any player so people saying 'install vlc' aren't helping. It'll just be another player without DD playback :( | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Sean21_: I gotta get some stuff sorted for work here, there are guides all over how to theme xubuntu and xfce | 01:38 |

| javier | Hi. I've serious problems connecting to the internet throw wifi with ubuntu (chip Atheros). Months ago, we had WEP protection: I could connect but internet was extremely slow. I changed it to WPA2: when it's connected it works fine, but it has a lot of problems connecting. Most of the times, it won't connect to the wifi adapter if I don't restart the router. Restarting the router allows me to connect 100% of the times. I think it may be a problem obtaining I | 01:40 |
| javier | P, maybe repeated IP (we are 6 in the house and a flatmate with windows finds that problem)I can't be restarting the router sneaking in the corridor anymore, my flatmates are so tired of my ubuntu... Please, help! | 01:40 |
| gdea73 | Has anyone ever solved a problem regarding suspend, other than USB3/FireWire related? Honestly... :P | 01:41 |
| Pelo | evening folks, is there a permission app to edit groups like there was in gnome 2.x somewhere ? | 01:41 |
| Nautilus | I'm not familiar with the ubuntu/unity UI, and have booted to a liveCD just so I can inspect the SMART on the hosts NTFS drive. Is there someone willing to lead me through that? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: have you disabled IPv6 if you don't use it | 01:41 |
| darkwing_duck | sure do wish I could set terminal's opacity to "show next tab" or something.. wish i had some brilliant shortcut key to toggle whether transparency was enabled at all, whether it showed next tab behind, or showed next application behind.. also the ability to set color schemes for front/back tab...maybe sync the line spacing of the front with the text size of the back, so you can more easily see through without obstruction... anyone else want that? somethi | 01:43 |
| Pelo | it should be mounting on your desktop I think , you can just click on it and view the content | 01:43 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, I checked and it's not disabled. Do you think it can be that? I remember I disabled it trying to things with the internet some time ago, and I don't remember if I turned it back on | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: it can help. You can also disable hw decryption using a module option, which may help | 01:43 |
| ipadftw | Anyone here get in on the steam beta? :) | 01:43 |
| Pelo | nautilus it should be mounting on your desktop I think , you can just click on it and view the content | 01:44 |

| somsip | ipadftw: specfifically, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-steam-for-linux-right-now.html | 01:44 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: dont see it on the desktop | 01:45 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, I would like to try that second option as well. I will google it as "disable hw decryption module". I thought about choosing fixed IP instead of dynamic. Can't it be related with that? | 01:45 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: should I try and mount it from terminal? | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: if you are simply failing DHCP (try in CLI to renew the IP) then it may help | 01:45 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, sorry, what is CLI? | 01:46 |
| deper29 | javier: command line interface | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, shouldn'T need to , it mounts automaticaly, I don'T use unity so I'm not 100% sure where you can access it , type alt+f2 and type nautilus , it should open will all menues, from there check in the 4th menu from the left , not sure what it is in english should be something like goto or places | 01:47 |
| javier | deper29, thank! | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, just so you know nautilus is also the name of the file manager , you'Re not typing your nick | 01:49 |
| javier | I could use a bit of help disabling hw decryption using a module option (don't even know what means= | 01:49 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: yes ;) | 01:49 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: when I typed that in I get 3 choices: nautilus-autorun-software, nautilus-connect-server, nautilus-sendto | 01:50 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, , in the nautilus window , if you go to display you can activate the side panel , it should show up in that as whell | 01:50 |
| gdea73 | Is there any remote chance that upgrading to 12.10 (from 12.04.1) would fix my issues with resuming from suspend to RAM? | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: a terminal | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: cli = command line interface | 01:50 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, just nautilus plain, i'm surprised there isn'T one, try typing nautilus in the terminal then | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Pelo: its also a sea creature | 01:51 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: got it, lemme look around | 01:51 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, yes, yes, I got that :) I meant help disabling hw decryption, but thank! | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: what wifri driver module are you using? | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: did you try re-requesting DHCP? | 01:53 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: dont see it in my sidebar buty I did try to mount it to /mnt, maybe I should reboot | 01:53 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, look in /media that's where stuff gets mounted automaticaly | 01:53 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, there are also two different display for the sidebar, one for just shortcuts one for treeview or something , again, not sure what the exact english is , my setup is in french | 01:54 |
| Nautilus | Pelo: just the cdrom | 01:54 |
| Nautilus | yes I tried tree view too | 01:55 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, the name might be something weird | 01:55 |
| Pelo | try the my computer one, might get listed in there | 01:55 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, the problem is that I'm having internet right now. if I disconnect now, I will get connection again. Tomorrow is when I'll find the problem again and will have to restart the router, or maybe in some hours. Anyway, will try to re-request DHCP, see how to do it and check if I fall in no problem | 01:55 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, I'm not using any special driver. In aditional drivers anyone is suggested | 01:56 |
| Pelo | Nautilus, I have to go, best of luck to you on this | 01:56 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, this is what you mean?: "sudo dhclient" | 01:56 |
| Nautilus | pelo: I mounted it as /mnt/mya1 ok thanks! I might be good now | 01:57 |
| gdea73 | I tried s2ram, and the screen still doesn't turn back on after suspend. | 01:58 |

| ActionParsnip | battlehands: press CTRL+Z then run: bg | 02:18 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: battlehands@battlebook:~/MATLAB/bin$ run: bg No command 'run:' found, did you mean: | 02:20 |
| battlehands | ... | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: there is a guide in the ubuntu docs on how to make a launcher to run the app | 02:20 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: what do you mean by launcher? | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: no you don't run 'run' that's me telling you the next thing is the command | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: launcher is an icon you can doubleclick to run the app | 02:21 |
| battlehands | command is bg? | 02:21 |
| Michalegaozixu | hi guys，how can i install a new theme?gnome 3.6 | 02:21 |

| javier | ActionParsnip, I rebooted and have internet, but as I said, I would expect that to happen (it's only after a few hours disconnected that I need to reboot the router if I want to connect). So, how do we know if it worked? | 02:22 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: what just happened? | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: the command is running but (b)ack(g)rounded | 02:22 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: what how is a backgrounded application different from a frontgrounded application? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: its reference is 1 as it is the first backgrounded job. You can foreground it if you wish | 02:23 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: or why am I interested in it being backgrounded I could say... | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: the foregrounded command was hogging your terminal, so now you can use the terminal for other things | 02:23 |
| Michalegaozixu | what website about ubuntu u guys always visit? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: the terminal is still the parent process so closing it will kill the matlab process | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Michalegaozixu: omgubuntu, webupd8 | 02:24 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: as long as I can use terminal while matlab is running I'm fine... now I can do things like create folders and files while matlab is still open. | 02:24 |
| Michalegaozixu | how to be a good hacker using ubuntu? | 02:24 |
| chimney | Michalegaozixu: easy, install --> hacking | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | battlehands: totally, if you make a desktop launcher, you won't need the terminal to run it | 02:25 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: how long would something like that take? | 02:25 |
| battlehands | to do | 02:25 |

| ActionParsnip | javier: just try it as you would normally use it. You can always delete the file we made and reboot to roll back | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | chimney: use ubuntu minimal | 02:38 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: I did it. | 02:38 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 02:38 |

| ActionParsnip | battlehands: np, the web ghas some wonderful info on it | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !mini | chimney | 02:38 |
| ubottu | chimney: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:38 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: too much | 02:39 |
| chimney | ActionParsnip: is it compatible to Transmeta Crusoe 800Mhz? | 02:39 |
| javier | ActionParsnip, ok, I will do that. Just, to remember, if I still find the problem next time, how should I restart my DHCP? (renew IP) | 02:39 |
| chimney | !transmeta | 02:39 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip: now I can make that folder :) ;) | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | javier: its worth a try | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chimney: its ubuntu with nothing except the kernel, bootloader and some basic tools | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chimney: you can build up a very minimal OS, if ubuntu works then ubuntu minimal will work too | 02:41 |
| chimney | ActionParsnip: ive an transmeta 5800 | 02:42 |

| Ben64 | simple menus, easy to change themes, gnome-panel | 02:46 |
| chimney | somebody has an Transmeta 5800 ? | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: install gnome-panel and use that | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: or use Xubuntu 12.04 | 02:47 |
| Ben64 | ActionParsnip: I tried installing gnome-panel but that broke the theming | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: use Xubuntu, it has the gnome 2 smell | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | would gnome-panel work on it? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: or you could install mate / cinammon but they aren't supported here | 02:48 |

| ActionParsnip | simplew: does the right hand colomn say 'rr' instead of 'ii' | 03:07 |

| ActionParsnip | simplew: sorry rc, not rr | 03:07 |

| gdea73 | Just installed 12.10 on my laptop. Boots to a purple screen, nothing happens. | 03:11 |

| ActionParsnip | simplew: the command I gave is what you want it you want to see only the installed packages with the word 'spell' in | 03:12 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: yes but i was looking for a tool to handle only from installed ones | 03:13 |

| omac | I have a 3DConnexion space navigator 3D mouse. | 04:00 |
| subcool | im having an impossible time importing my pictures from my iphone. :/ I cant get them into ubuntu, or win8 i keep receiving errors | 04:01 |
| dreamer138 | @roobyf : tell me the two commands...i will save them | 04:01 |
| RobbyF | sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* | 04:01 |
| omac | the ubuntu repo has spacenavd and libspacenav. I figured if I just install those, it would be up and recognizing the 3d mouse. It's not the case yet. | 04:01 |
| dreamer138 | kk | 04:01 |
| RobbyF | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-18 | 04:01 |
| omac | Anyone here have any tips. | 04:01 |
| RobbyF | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: how do you get a 3D mouse? | 04:02 |
| omac | First off, I bought it from 3DConnexion. | 04:02 |
| omac | They come with drivers, but they don't work. | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: well yeah, they will be for windows... | 04:03 |
| === nlh_ is now known as nlh | ||
| omac | Actually the proprietary drivers on the cd V3.7.18 come with linux drivers. | 04:04 |
| omac | but they don't work. | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: can you expand on 'don't work' | 04:04 |
| omac | there are a few articles on the web pointing to sourceforge 3dconnexion. | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: what have you tried to do to make it work | 04:04 |
| omac | I go into blender and expect it to rotate using the 3dmouse. The wonderful thing is that it advertises being able to move in 3 axes at the same time. | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: what did you do to try and install the driver | 04:06 |
| omac | this is unlike having to click and rotate 3 times when using blender with a non-3d mouse. | 04:06 |
| omac | It comes with a bunch of tars, the one most relevant is 3dxware-linux-v1-4-3.x86_64.tar.gz. I have an amd phenom 8core. | 04:07 |
| omac | the ubuntu is amd64 arch. | 04:07 |
| omac | 12.10. | 04:07 |
| wastrel | hi | 04:08 |
| omac | In this tar.gz it has a "install-3dxunix.sh" | 04:08 |
| wastrel | looks promising | 04:08 |
| wastrel | is there a README | 04:08 |
| wastrel | or INSTALL | 04:08 |
| omac | I ran it and it did a few things to inittab which it got errors but to be honest I didn't record any of it. | 04:09 |
| omac | After that I went to ubuntu repos and discovered the spacenavd/libspacenav and installed those. | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: so it didn't work first time and you have done nothing to try and work out what went wrong... | 04:09 |
| omac | I apologize for taking your time. I was just wondering if anyone else here had one of these spacenavigator things. | 04:10 |

| brady1 | lets say i have two drives. one is 2tb , however its actual contents is well below 500gb, and i have a 500gb drive, is there a program out there that i could use to mirror my system on the first drive, to the second drive? | 04:15 |
| jagginess | brady1, a program called gparted, (gparted live cd), can clone partitions | 04:16 |
| somsip | omac: http://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3474 and http://www.stokebloke.com/wordpress/category/blender/ have some guidance though they may be out of date | 04:16 |
| Alpha-Omega | question: I'm learning awk and I wanted to know what a ";" at the end of a print statement does | 04:17 |
| jagginess | brady1, then you can use gparted to resize the cloned partition | 04:17 |
| jagginess | brady1, or you can make the partition first on the 2 TB (make the ext4 partition 2 TB), and the clone won't change the target size | 04:17 |
| jagginess | brady1, it's simple, it's a copy and paste .. | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | omac: did you read it? | 04:19 |
| jagginess | omac, what do you mean spacenavigator? like commanderkeen? | 04:19 |
| jagginess | brady1, you there? | 04:22 |
| brady1 | yes, im looking at gparted , trying to tell whats going on with the partitions on the 2tb drive, i see three things in the list under partition, /dev/sda1 , /dev/sda2 , /dev/sda5 | 04:24 |
| yokobr | please, can someone help me with my hybrid notebook gpus ? | 04:24 |
| brady1 | the first one says ext4, second extended, the third linux swap | 04:24 |
| brady1 | i believe my stuff is all on the first one | 04:24 |
| jagginess | brady1, sudo parted /dev/sda print <enter> | 04:24 |
| jagginess | brady1, that's ok, you can clone the ext4 .. (you can wipe out the swap partition, there's nothing on there unless you are using hibernation) | 04:25 |
| jagginess | brady1, (and if the hibernation on swap is a savedstate) | 04:25 |
| jagginess | brady1, is this a laptop? | 04:25 |
| brady1 | no, desktop | 04:25 |
| jagginess | brady1, (asking to be sure to have done a "shutdown", and not a "hibernation shutdown") | 04:26 |
| brady1 | hold on let me get you a pastebin | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | brady1: i'd guess you have 2 primary partitions, then an extended partion with the jump to sda5 [but with 2tb i'd think you'd be using gpt, and i don't think that as a primary parition limit? (well not a realistic one anyway?)] | 04:26 |
| OerHeks | yokobr, ati or nvidia hybrid ? | 04:26 |
| jagginess | nvidia hybrid, what's that? | 04:26 |
| yokobr | OerHeks, both ati. | 04:27 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 04:27 |
| brady1 | http://pastebin.com/Gnehpe30 | 04:27 |
| jagginess | brady1, yeah.. that looks fine.. you just need to clone /dev/sda1 | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | brady1: fyi, "i" don't go to patebin.com (see "/msg ubottu paste" for an alternative without ads/tracking) | 04:28 |
| jagginess | brady1, make your partition a GPT styled table.. here... just a sec... | 04:28 |
| brady1 | yes i believe your right, as i notice now that used and unused are empty on those two 30 something gig partitions | 04:28 |
| jagginess | brady1, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbOB2z3weUg | 04:28 |
| jagginess | brady1, if you're on PC bios and you use a GPT partition style drive, make a 1 meg grubbios partition | 04:28 |
| omac | ActionParsnip, I'm going to try to install the 3Dconnexion plugin for blender. That was the piece I was missing. | 04:29 |
| jagginess | brady1, also use boot-repair iso to fix the grub bootloader.. you're going to boot off the 2Tb right? | 04:29 |
| brady1 | jaggieness, does anything ive shown suggest why my computer might be failing to see my harddrive on startup? | 04:29 |
| jagginess | brady1, (that video shows how to prepare a GPT styled partition table) | 04:29 |
| jagginess | brady1, you said you have a 2TB drive.. | 04:30 |
| omac | jagginess: 3dmouse is allows you to do stuff a bit more efficiently in 3d cad/animation programs like blender. I aim to use the 3dconnexion 3dmouse with blender specifically. | 04:30 |
| jagginess | brady1, you should use GPT on it.. | 04:30 |
| jagginess | brady1, i'm asking are you planning to boot from the 2TB drive? | 04:30 |
| jagginess | brady1, (you can add the 1 meg grubbios partition anytime though) | 04:30 |
| brady1 | well, yes jagginess, originally i had planed on using the 2tb drive to boot from | 04:30 |
| omac | thank you ActionParsnip btw. It helps to have another perspective. | 04:31 |
| jagginess | brady1, and are you using EFI ? | 04:31 |
| brady1 | i dont know what efi is | 04:31 |
| jagginess | brady1, do you know the motherboard? | 04:31 |
| omac | efi is the NOT-BIOS in your motherboard firmware. | 04:31 |
| brady1 | asus maximus v formula | 04:31 |
| omac | you can boot using BIOS or EFI with newer motherboards. | 04:32 |
| === ^_|_^ is now known as ^5 | ||
| brady1 | see this all started off with my machine occasionally crashing | 04:32 |
| jagginess | brady1, looks like an efi-bios hybrid.. | 04:32 |
| omac | the big problem is windows 8 requires it and ubuntu is starting to use it as the default when installing Linux now. | 04:33 |
| brady1 | sometimes when it would reboot, it would fail to boot, and end up in bios | 04:33 |
| brady1 | when i would look for my harddrive, it had dissappeared | 04:33 |
| omac | as of 12.10, I have efi booting ubuntu. | 04:33 |
| brady1 | after a bunch of boots, it would show up, and boot | 04:33 |
| brady1 | i eventually discovered that all four of my memory cards was failing memtest86 | 04:34 |
| jagginess | brady1, maybe you can try to use grub-pc, i'm guessing you're not using grub-efi yet | 04:34 |
| omac | on the ASUS 990FX motherboard it is optional to use EFI. You can boot from BIOS too. | 04:34 |
| brady1 | i checked the ram individually , and they all failed | 04:34 |
| Oooops | if anyone knows 12.04 can install into a UEFI bios? | 04:34 |
| jagginess | brady1, so follow that video and add 3 partitions, 1 ext4, 1 swap, and 1 meg unformatted(with a changed flag).. | 04:34 |
| brady1 | which i thought was weird, 4 seperate cards all failing | 04:34 |
| jagginess | brady1, ? | 04:34 |
| Oooops | omac: your board is UEFI? | 04:34 |
| jagginess | brady1, the ram failed? | 04:34 |
| brady1 | yes i will try that, but i wanted to explain more details | 04:35 |
| brady1 | it seemed all so unlkily that all four ram cards were bad | 04:35 |
| jagginess | brady1, if the ram is failing why are you thinking the drive is bad? | 04:35 |
| === nlh is now known as Guest16006 | ||
| brady1 | so i got a new motherboard, and tested the ram, and they passed | 04:35 |
| jagginess | brady1, okok so i dont care about the past.. but only the system you're using atm.. | 04:36 |
| brady1 | but today, the motherboard failed to find my 2tb drive again.. | 04:36 |
| omac | I don't know about UEFI, but when I run mount there is: /sys/firmware/efi/efivars | 04:36 |
| jagginess | brady1, which motherboard are you using right now? the new one or old one? | 04:36 |
| brady1 | the new one | 04:36 |
| jackie_ | still having probs with wireless usb netgear 3100 | 04:36 |
| jagginess | brady1, and where is the old drive? | 04:36 |
| brady1 | hooked up to it | 04:36 |
| jagginess | brady1, so do you have a usb box to use for the old drive? maybe the old drive is causing problems.. restrict it's problems to the usb | 04:37 |
| omac | oooops: It's documented in the motherboard manual, but I installed it a while ago and never looked at that manual since. | 04:37 |
| jagginess | brady1, sounds like maybe the old drive is causing havoc.. clone it asap and then take it completely out | 04:37 |
| brady1 | i have a usb box, but the drive is hooked up to the motherboard right now | 04:38 |
| jagginess | brady1, it'll be better if you placed it in the usb | 04:38 |
| brady1 | the old drive, isn't nessarly old, is basically brand new | 04:38 |
| jagginess | brady1, you can boot gpartedlive from a cd. | 04:38 |
| brady1 | i have a live cd with gparted on it | 04:38 |
| omac | All I can say is that it boots fast and I have had no hiccups except for a few days because of the AMD 7970 graphics driver wasn't ok in 12.10 for a few days. After doing an update it just fixed itself. | 04:38 |
| jagginess | brady1, have you done harddrive test on the older drive? (there's ubcd and systemdrivecd -- freeware iso online) | 04:39 |
| Oooops | omac: oo | 04:39 |
| brady1 | my logic was that i would backup the 2tb drive to the 500gig drive, and try to boot and see if it has the same problem or not | 04:39 |
| jagginess | brady1, use one of those 2 diagnostic cd's.. | 04:39 |
| jagginess | brady1, and diagnose the old harddrive without the new one attached | 04:39 |
| Oooops | downloading 12.04. 11.10 is fail to boot on UEFI bios | 04:40 |
| jagginess | brady1, then diagnose the new harddrive without the older one attached | 04:40 |
| brady1 | ive done ckdsk on the 2tb drive, its not found any errors | 04:40 |
| jagginess | brady1, but you only get problems when the old drive is connected.. so i'd suggest to test the older drive alone to be sure that it's the problematic one | 04:40 |
| yokobr | OerHeks, the problem is that i have PCI:1:5:0 hd 4250 (integrated) and PCI:2:0:0 HD 6310 (discrete). It only works when i have xorg.conf integrated with vesa driver and discrete with flgrx. | 04:40 |
| brady1 | jagginess, i had previously installed ubuntu on the 500 gig one, and had crashes | 04:41 |
| jagginess | brady1, also when i say harddrive test, i don't mean filesystem checking. | 04:41 |
| jagginess | brady1, the harddrive tests go deeper than a filesystem scan | 04:41 |
| jagginess | brady1, ok.. so do what you have to do.. | 04:42 |
| brady1 | ahh.. is there a program i can download to my live usb stick , rather than downloading an entire cd? | 04:42 |
| jagginess | brady1, yes.. there's unetbootin and pendrive usb makers.. | 04:42 |
| brady1 | no what im saying, is i already have a live usb stick | 04:42 |
| jagginess | brady1, (pendrive makes linux usb stuff from windows) | 04:42 |
| jagginess | brady1, no | 04:43 |
| brady1 | thats weird. | 04:43 |

| jagginess | Oooops, since you're getting that error message, try option #2 | 04:59 |
| jagginess | Oooops, 'UEFI only' | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | marcio: Lubuntu as it's super light :) | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | marcio: plus the Mint community is tiny compared to Ubuntus | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | marcio: plus you are in an Ubuntu channel..... | 05:00 |
| marcio | hahaha | 05:00 |
| dsprc | ActionParsnip: yeah but the developers are actually responsive | 05:00 |
| Oooops | jagginess: after this, reinstall 12.04? i have only usb disk. | 05:00 |
| marcio | mint seems to be very popular lately | 05:00 |
| marcio | which is why i considered it | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dsprc: go look at launchpad.net in the bugs section.... | 05:00 |
| Oooops | jagginess: i will try this first. downloading now. | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | marcio: so you only consider a distro if lots of people use it. | 05:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 05:01 |
| Oooops | i only see a text boot interface to select boot devices. not graphic one. jagginess | 05:01 |
| marcio | well i am new to linux, so yes i am looking at what most people are using because i assume it is usually good | 05:02 |
| jagginess | Oooops, there's probably helpful bootoptions for your install media-- i never used uefi.. but i think someone here said they did | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | marcio: lots of people use windows too ;) | 05:02 |
| marcio | good point | 05:02 |
| marcio | so does mint haver anything that is better than lubuntu? | 05:02 |

| mats | why can't i install unbuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu on my abit bp6? it just freezes on installation launch??? | 05:06 |
| jagginess | Oooops, if efi is too problematic**, you can try the hybrid mode and maybe try to force the installer not to look at efi | 05:06 |
| dsprc | ActionParsnip: "one" being the flagship version however. but i am glad we have the option to opt out of porn when trying to launch a terminal | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mats: what video chip do you use? | 05:07 |

| Oooops | seems 12.04 is more competent for video card in new laptop. bless all goes ok. bless. | 05:14 |
| theadmin | Oooops: It might be more competent just because unity2d is available on 12.04 but not on 12.10 | 05:14 |
| Oooops | why need unity 2d? | 05:15 |
| theadmin | Oooops: Well, certain video cards don't handle 3D graphics properly | 05:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Oooops: unity2D is dead after Precise (although precise is supported til April 2017) | 05:18 |
| theadmin | Probably means computers with older cards won't be supported anymore... Or will there be some crazy modification to Unity that will make it work without 3D as well, that is, the mainline? | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | The 3D will be done by the CPU if there is no 3D accell in the VGA | 05:21 |

| User123 | Canon. It's written FU7-8783 not sure if it is model. | 05:32 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: You mean your home directory? | 05:32 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: 700, I suppose. | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin:yes can /home dir be locked for other users | 05:33 |
| User123 | LBP6000 | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: ok tnx ill try | 05:34 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: When you say /home, you're refering to the "home" directory on top of the filesystem, literally -- it stores ALL home directories. You don't want blocking access to that. Now $HOME (or ~) is your home directory | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: yeah sorry i meant seperate /home/user | 05:34 |
| theadmin | User123: Hm... Is it a network printer? | 05:35 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: so chmod 700 on /home/user would be safe to go? | 05:35 |

| dblosevn | hey stupid question but how do I run a script after all services have started? inittab? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dblosevn: add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line and it will run as root after everything | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dblosevn: if it takes a long time to run suffix it with a space and an ampersand to background it | 06:13 |
| heroandtn3 | dblosevn: read about run level in linux | 06:14 |
| heroandtn3 | or add to Startup Program | 06:14 |
| deper29 | is there a way to move an existing ubuntu system to a different hard drive? I'm asking because I want to install to an SSD but I don't want to have to do a complete re-install | 06:14 |
| dblosevn | ActionParsnip: thanks thats what I was looking for | 06:15 |
| dblosevn | heroandtn3: I knew of a couple ways I could get it to run at startup but was unclear on which way would run after all services were started | 06:15 |
| meant0m | deper29, gparted? | 06:15 |
| dblosevn | its not a deamon so upstart wasnt really the way | 06:16 |
| deper29 | meant0m: to migrate my existing install to a different drive? | 06:16 |
| zykotick9 | deper29: if you try: your eth0 will become eth1 (as well as other devices possibly) - there is someway to reset the udev or something to correct it. i wouldn't personally try to "move" an instalation | 06:17 |
| deper29 | zykotick9: why not? it should be possible to migrate everything to a different drive shouldn't it? | 06:17 |
| zykotick9 | deper29: possible - of course. practical - questionable. | 06:18 |
| meant0m | deper29, if you can afford to do it, i say you can use gparted... | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | deper29: you can use rsync or dd to transfer over easily | 06:18 |
| dblosevn | deper29: I do that all the time, resize the partitions to the new ssd size then clone the partition gparted will do it, id boot to a flashdrive or something to do it though | 06:18 |
| deper29 | ActionParsnip: might be a dumb question, but could I just cp instead of dd? then install grub on the new drive? or would that work? | 06:19 |
| deper29 | zykotick9: a complete re-install is not practical for me :P | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | deper29: sure but remember to preserve ownership, you will also need to install grub to the mbr of the sd card | 06:20 |
| === hotfloppy is now known as KucingSiam | ||
| deper29 | ActionParsnip: so could I just use parted to partition the new drive, then copy everything over and do grub-install to /dev/sdb1 or whatever my boot partition will be? | 06:21 |
| heroandtn3 | dblosevn: hm, so i think run level will help u | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | deper29: /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 | 06:21 |
| deper29 | ActionParsnip: yes, my bad | 06:22 |
| zykotick9 | deper29: understandable. best of luck. i'm uber-conservative-stability-mindeded, it affects my judgment of everything. | 06:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: I'd just reinstall too | 06:23 |
| dblosevn | ActionParsnip: i added cd /var/www/mls;php run.php & to my rc.local and it doesnt seem to be running on startup should I put that in a bash script and try again? | 06:29 |

| deper29 | cliff_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ProjectM | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dblosevn: I suggest you do, you can then background the script too. Anything you also want to add, just sling it in the script :) | 06:33 |
| cliff_ | I already did that. enabled multilib, and added projectM repositories | 06:33 |
| cliff_ | but it's not relevant, because I'm downloading the package manually | 06:33 |
| deper29 | cliff_: okay, if you added the repos did you sync them after? and what's the problem you're having then if you're just downloading the project manually? | 06:34 |
| cliff_ | yup | 06:34 |
| cliff_ | no, it installs | 06:35 |
| cliff_ | everything seems ok | 06:35 |
| cliff_ | but when i try to run it, i get nothing | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: try running it in a terminal | 06:35 |
| cliff_ | so I'm assuming there is a problem | 06:35 |
| cliff_ | tried already | 06:35 |
| cliff_ | checked /bin, /usr/bin/ etc... and found nothing with project in it | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: is the output useful? | 06:36 |
| cliff_ | it says "command not found" | 06:36 |
| cliff_ | that's the problem. It acts like it installs, but I can't run it anywhere | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: have you tried changing directory to the command and running it there | 06:37 |
| cliff_ | trust me, I've tried a bunch of stuff | 06:37 |
| cliff_ | what do you mean? | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: did you add the install folder to $PATH | 06:37 |
| cliff_ | i didn't figure I had to do that | 06:38 |
| cliff_ | Where would the install folder be? | 06:38 |
| deper29 | cliff_: yeah, it's not in sbin or something is it? | 06:38 |
| cliff_ | it was a src.tar.xz file | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: well its obvious by the 'command not found' that you do | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cliff_: where is the binary stored, and what is it called? | 06:38 |
| cliff_ | I can't find the binary :/ | 06:38 |

| Fuzzles | you guys heared Steam for linux betas was released yesterday | 07:04 |
| theadmin | rinzler: You mean display manager. You are confused on your terms. A display manager is a tool managing user logins. X (server) is the core of any graphical interface.

| Thor | How can I get bash_completion to work with ssh? It used to work, but now ubuntu uses hashed known_hosts file, so as far as I can see, bash_completion haven't been updated to work with the new known_hosts format | 08:08 |
| === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo | ||
| Jordan_U | Thor: You can't reverse a hash, so you can't determine what the domain is from the hash (you can only confirm it). So bash_completion would need to use another list of domains to allow you to tab complete domain names. | 08:11 |

| Noriandir | CCK, is there any default iptable rules that you recomend? | 12:19 |
| CCK | not really, just the one that blocks all incoming except for the outgoing connections that you use but on linux it is safe (except when it is exploitable) | 12:21 |

| Walther | Running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. Running "steam" or "steam steam://open/games" results in "Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866_client)" and the program crashes without showing anything on screen. I have installed ia32-lib and libpango, which are supposed to fix it. | 13:09 |
| theadmin | Walther: Steam isn't in Ubuntu repos so I don't see how we can help. Third-party apps, especially in testing stages, aren't supported. | 13:10 |
| theadmin | Walther: Basically ask VALVe | 13:11 |
| Pinchiukas | I installed a WM after installing Ubuntu without xorg. Now how do I start xorg? :) | 13:11 |
| Pinchiukas | What is the preferred way to start xorg in Ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: A display manager, such as lightdm: sudo apt-get install lightdm | 13:11 |
| Walther | Well, I was just curious if anyone knew about this issue and if anyone could help. And at least imho, it could be beneficial for Ubuntu if we debugged the steam client as fast as possible ;) | 13:11 |
| Myx0x3 | Pinchiukas: there are lots of guides on the interwebs | 13:12 |
| theadmin | Walther: "we"? The Ubuntu team has nothing to do with Steam | 13:12 |
| jrib | Pinchiukas: just install lightdm; it will start automatically at boot | 13:12 |
| Noriandir | Walther, try reading this too for help: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam/ <- i've seen ppl there that have the same problem | 13:12 |
| Walther | theadmin: we as in the Ubuntu user base | 13:13 |
| Walther | I was not requiring anything from the official devs | 13:13 |
| theadmin | Walther: Please see PM | 13:16 |
| demonio | hi all, I installed backtrack 5 r 2, and i need to help, but in #backtrack channel anybody answer | 13:16 |
| demonio | so there is an expert user that can help me ? | 13:17 |
| llutz | !backtrack | demonio even if nobody anwers there, you won't get help here | 13:17 |
| ubottu | demonio even if nobody anwers there, you won't get help here: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 13:17 |
| demonio | so thanks i'll try :9 | 13:18 |

| abhinav_singh | what are the differences between service reload and service restart | 13:32 |
| Xx-newbie | hey about the cnee .. command: how can i replay a recorded file for a specific number of time | 13:32 |
| bird_ | abhinav_singh,hi | 13:33 |
| bird_ | you can get it in different file putted in /etc/init.d | 13:34 |
| bird_ | every serivce has it's own controlor shell putted in /etc/init.d | 13:34 |

| Pinchiukas | Installed lightdm and gnome-user-guide was pulled with the dependencies? Seriously... | 13:39 |

| Pinchiukas | My god, the dependency tree sucks. | 13:40 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: ...have you tried --no-install-suggests? :P | 13:41 |
| Pinchiukas | Yes. | 13:41 |
| Pinchiukas | A single package got excluded lol | 13:42 |
| Pinchiukas | This is pathetic. :D | 13:42 |
| theadmin | Hm well. You can probably go with installing lxdm or something instead | 13:42 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| theadmin | But yeah this isn't ArchLinux, Ubuntu team don't get their deps straight for a long time now :/ | 13:42 |
| Pinchiukas | I doubt the results will be different. | 13:42 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: Oh, I get why what happened happened | 13:43 |
| Pinchiukas | I'm beginning to think that choosing Ubuntu was a mistake. :) | 13:43 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: Unless you specify otherwise on command-line, lightdm will pull unity-greeter in, which depends on a lot of GNOME stuff | 13:43 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: Choose a more lightweight greeter | 13:43 |
| Pinchiukas | More lightweight than lightdm? :D | 13:43 |

| theadmin | Something along the lines of: sudo apt-get install lightdm lightdm-webkit-greeter | 13:44 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: ^ | 13:44 |
| Pinchiukas | What is a greeter anyway? | 13:44 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: A greeter provides the graphical interface for lightdm | 13:44 |
| === nyR3dn3k is now known as nyRednek | ||
| Pinchiukas | Isn't lightdm a graphical interface itself? | 13:44 |
| almoxarife | !lightdm | 13:45 |
| theadmin | Pinchiukas: Not exactly -- lightdm itself just provides the core stuff, it's very customizable, that's why the greeters are around | 13:46 |
| Pinchiukas | I seee. | 13:46 |
| XYZ987654321 | I am trying to use mic for recognising speech, However, there is a message "ad_oss.c(100): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or directory Failed to open audio input device" any idea? please..... | 13:48 |

| devurandom | I have a computer with a german keyboard (i.e. latin characters) and want to input Persian/Farsi characters.

| cfhowlett | meghal: yes | 15:17 |
| jiffe98 | so I'm wondering why when I ssh into my freebsd machines there is no delay whereas when I ssh into most of my ubuntu machines there is a delay except for the ones still running 8.04 | 15:18 |
| JuJuBee | philinux: that didn't seem to work. I added the .desktop file to .local/share/applications and added the mime type to the mimtypes.list file and it still does not show up in the applications list. | 15:18 |
| jiffe98 | forward and reverse dns are working fine | 15:19 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: exactly what happens during install | 15:19 |
| killer_ | why after several weeks of usage nautilus becomes too slow 12.04 | 15:20 |
| meghal | when i boots via usb it shows fat error | 15:20 |
| philinux | JuJuBee: u may need to log out and back in maybe | 15:20 |
| meghal | unable to access fat32 someting like that | 15:20 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: so the USB itself fails to boot properly? | 15:20 |
| meghal | no its start booting | 15:21 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: fat error on usb? or on the target hard drive? | 15:21 |
| meghal | but then after its shows this error and some time its shows ubuntu loading symbol but noothing comes up | 15:21 |
| meghal | when i click install ubuntu to hard disk | 15:22 |
| meghal | then its shows like this | 15:22 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: ok. did you md5sum check the iso before you made your boot USB | 15:22 |
| cfhowlett | ? | 15:22 |
| meghal | no | 15:22 |

| cfhowlett | meghal: assuming you've got a good iso, I'd suggest you re-do the USB preferably with a different USB stick | 15:34 |
| meghal | will it be ok for kingston | 15:34 |
| meghal | > | 15:34 |
| koegs | jiffe98: what do you mean by delay? | 15:34 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: usb sticks can fail. I'm suggesting you eliminate that as a possible cause of your errors | 15:34 |
| meghal | so what else any other way? | 15:35 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: you could always burn a CDROM ... | 15:35 |
| meghal | then send it to my address | 15:35 |
| john_doe_jr | jparkton: so your saying to upload it as a PDF file and download it as a HTML document? | 15:35 |
| meghal | right now i dont have any free dvd | 15:36 |
| cfhowlett | meghal: OK. | 15:36 |
| meghal | when will u send it? | 15:36 |
| cfhowlett | You used the Ubuntu USB Startup Disk creator to make the USB? | 15:36 |
| meghal | no universal | 15:37 |

| meghal | that is there on ubuntu site | 15:37 |

| rymate1234 | MonkeyDust, something tells me that isn't going to fix issues with laggy scrolling, but thanks anyway :P | 16:54 |
| Erik_D | Myrtti: That was helpful, Gnome3 has a lot of the tablet-type UI features people like about unity, without the bloat. | 16:54 |
| escott | ix_, i know that... im just stating you go over an analog channel you lose features | 16:55 |
| ix_ | escott, and by the way, if I connect the laptop to the tv, the correct resolution appears in xrandr | 16:55 |
| Myrtti | rymate1234: the main aim should be to help with whatever problems you've got, not to just suggest other options, in general. While you might be happy with using an alternative, it's not a recommended way of bypassing the problem. | 16:55 |
| ix_ | through vga | 16:55 |
| ix_ | escott, so vga is not the problem | 16:55 |

| Robbilie | what means !ot? | 16:58 |
| MonkeyDust | rymate1234 guess i missed the scrolling part in your question | 16:58 |
| escott | ix_, there are a lot of possible reasons.. you can see what the monitor reports by checking the EDID information. it gets dumped to the /var/log/Xorg.0.log. often times the EDID is wrong so its entirely possible the version of Xorg you have sees the resolution and rejects it as unreasonable for some reason, but it could also just be too big | 16:58 |
| MonkeyDust | Robbilie it means offtopic | 16:58 |
| Robbilie | thansk ;) | 16:58 |
| bazhang | Robbilie, its offtopic here. please stop | 16:58 |
| Robbilie | but as i said, it wsnt meant for this channel anyway :D | 16:58 |
| ix_ | escott, the ubuntu wiki says this: It is possible, that resolutions higher than 1024x768 (or 800x600.. 640x480) are not avalaible by default, because the videocard isn't recognised propely. | 16:59 |
| ix_ | I think this is the case | 16:59 |

| escott | ix_, i would start at your Xorg.0.log it should tell you why it is rejecting the higher resolution | 17:00 |

| escott | koegs, ewwww why would one do such a horrid thing... killer use VNC to access ubuntu gui from windows | 17:15 |
| Myrtti | abhitest: depends on your own preferences and wishes. Separate /home might make things easier, but having separate encrypted partitions also means you need to decrypt them at boot. | 17:16 |
| abhitest | Myrtti: koegs my home swap and / are seaparate. but they all are 'inside' lvm. so is encrypting lvm 'only' is enough' or for better sucurity i should ecrypt the whole lvm + the separate home,swap and / inside that lvm? | 17:16 |

| crimsonmane | m3asmi: what you can also do is download the updates without installing them, burn them to disc, then add the cdrom as a 'repo' source | 18:06 |
| Pummpy1 | That bad? | 18:06 |
| escott | Pummpy1, no thats fine. i just wanted to check one thing since someone else set this up for you | 18:06 |
| Pummpy1 | OK :) | 18:06 |

| escott | Pummpy1, once you get to recover it is "passwd aa" it will ask for the new password twice then "reboot" thats all you have to do. the only hard part is getting the timing correct on when to hit shift to bring the grub prompt up | 18:07 |
| Pummpy1 | ok brb | 18:08 |
| escott | gear4, and are you using fglrx (proprietary) or radeonhd (open source) drivers? | 18:08 |
| gear4 | escott, I proprietary | 18:09 |
| m3asmi | crimsommane: then ? | 18:09 |
| escott | gear4, and how did you install that.. manually or through jockey | 18:09 |
| gear4 | escott, through jockey I think | 18:09 |
| gear4 | let me check | 18:09 |
| escott | gear4, in 12.10 jockey went away in favor of some other tool in the software-sources gui | 18:10 |
| escott | gear4, but all those tools just install the fglrx package | 18:10 |

| gear4 | jrib, I can't actually - I've just noticed that my GNOME3 isn't, GNOME3-ish | 18:14 |
| gear4 | it's GNOME Classic | 18:14 |
| gear4 | and my Unity is way too big | 18:14 |
| jrib | gear4: so does it just "look funny"? | 18:14 |

| FloodBot1 | AMDAthlon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:15 |
| gear4 | jrib, I let's put it like this: I have gnome-shell, but, it's not GNOME3, it's GNOME Classic, and it used to be GNOME3 | 18:16 |
| AMDAthlon | entering messages fast is flooding? | 18:16 |
| escott | !enter | AMDAthlon | 18:16 |
| ubottu | AMDAthlon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:16 |
| jrib | AMDAthlon: the way the kernel packages are setup, the "linux-image-generic" package will get new dependencies (depend on the newer kernel). Apt won't install a package because of new dependencies unless you use "dist-upgrade" | 18:16 |
| gear4 | escott, could you explain better ? | 18:16 |
| AMDAthlon | ok! how can i delete the older kernel files? | 18:16 |
| jrib | AMDAthlon: no, but using "enter" instead of a "." is ;) | 18:16 |
| jrib | AMDAthlon: just remove the appropriate linux-image-generic-* package | 18:16 |
| AMDAthlon | ok thanks! | 18:17 |
| escott | gear4, you got dumped to gnome-classic AKA 2d because your graphics drivers are not set up correctly and you have no GLX visual so you cannot support a compositor. | 18:17 |
| mohanned | hi there | 18:17 |
| mohanned | just installed xbuntu | 18:17 |

| mohanned | and im loving it | 18:17 |
| ucefkh | hello | 18:17 |
| OerHeks | hi mohanned, great! | 18:18 |
| escott | gear4, my suspicion would be that you installed the fglrx manually by downloading the *.bin from AMD and therefore the kernel version change has broken your kernel module and you need to rebuild. if you installed through jockey then you should have gotten the upgraded fglrx package to match your kernel | 18:18 |
| mohanned | very lightweight and extremely reliable | 18:18 |

| escott | gear4, slowness is a very subjective thing and most people mean high latency. i dont really know what you perceive as slowness. | 18:19 |
| meowsus | I've got a really basic question about installing programs. Say I'm using Geany from the repos. I run *apt-get install geany* and it installs. Then I realize that there is a newer version that I can get off of github and I download that version too. If i compile and install the github version does it replace the version that was previously installed? | 18:19 |
| gear4 | escott, slowness i.e. I press ALT+TAB and the box pops up after ~6 seconds | 18:20 |
| xangua | m3asmi: are you using a ppa¿ | 18:20 |
| escott | gear4, i would reinstall the fglrx package and check your Xorg.0.log file to see if it reports any problems. also check if the fglrx module is loaded by running "lsmod" | 18:20 |
| ucefkh | mahanned salam alaykom | 18:20 |
| jrib | meowsus: nope, you now have two versions installed. One managed by apt and one that you are responsible for | 18:20 |
| jrib | meowsus: well, unless you did something funny | 18:20 |
| escott | gear4, that would be unreasonable for a graphics card issue. something else must be going on. check "top" | 18:20 |

| gear4 | escott, thing is, it only happens in UNITY, GNOME 2d has very little slowness compared | 18:21 |
| escott | mih1406, /proc/cpuinfo | 18:21 |
| Pummpy1 | MonkeyDust are you here? | 18:22 |
| mih1406 | escott, this only gave me cache size and alignment, which is fine, but I am also looking for cache *type*, cache access time, cache latency | 18:23 |
| meowsus | jrib: hey, one more question. since this program is from github, when there is a new version, I assume I can download the source, recompile and reinstall and THAT will replace the version automatically. | 18:23 |
| Pummpy1 | escott are you here? | 18:23 |
| jrib | meowsus: yes | 18:24 |

| emmaniel | Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and I have a question. How do I get out of the command console and on to the gui interface? (and startx did not work) | 19:09 |
| subz3r0 | amphigory, i've really no clue. but I would test it just in case with a live cd/dvd to make sure that your system is not missconfigurated in any way | 19:09 |

| Hyandas | hi intore | 19:10 |
| amphigory | subz3r0: not sure. dmidecode is showing one of my dimms as 2GB. But that would make it 14GB, not 12. POssible that it's "mapping" the other dimm down to 2GB so that it matches the other dimm for dual channel purposes? | 19:10 |

| MelRay | Pummpy1: Search in google.... | 19:24 |
| bazhang | !java | Pummpy1 | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Pummpy1: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| ActionParsnip | !info nvidia-current | 20:58 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 304.43-0ubuntu4 (quantal), package size 37202 kB, installed size 105660 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia) | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: so the packaged version has 304.43 and the nvidia.com has 304.64 and you think thats going to be hugely different? | 20:59 |
| dr_willis | its. .21 bigger so its betterer ;-) | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current will give the same driver in a package.... | 21:02 |
| === mitch is now known as Guest9401 | ||
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: it will glue in all the DKMS stuff and is fa easier to install than messing with the non packaged driver, wouldn't you say? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: did you try that? | 21:02 |
| Guest9401 | hi where can i get a good unix anti virus for my ubuntu os | 21:03 |
| dr_willis | !av | 21:03 |
| 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 | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: have you actually looked at the changelog for the driver, are you affected by those issues? | 21:03 |
| ben1066 | well, no, I didn't, but I am used to using their bins | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest9401: you only need AV if you run a fileserver with windows clients, or an email server | 21:04 |
| ben1066 | equally I cannot find a way to remove it | 21:04 |
| ben1066 | cleanly | 21:05 |
| dr_willis | Guest9401: you do realize most av apps for linux scan windows files for windows virusesses. | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: so you just think you need the later version, because it's newer..... | 21:05 |
| Guest9401 | im a bit slow can some1 please explain why i dont need a anti virus | 21:05 |
| ben1066 | its always recommended to have the latest graphics drivers... | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest9401: read the link ubottu gave | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: not always, the update is minor, so unless you are affected by the fixes in the new version then you are gaining nothing | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: its the same driver | 21:06 |
| ben1066 | right, so how would I remove it | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: if you use the PPA, the files will be overwritten by the same files in the package and it should fly | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: it also will give a clean removal | 21:07 |

| ironhalik | Is there any mailing list where I could check on the progress of adding nvidia 310.14 driver to ubuntu repos? | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ironhalik: you could report a bug | 21:11 |
| Guest9401 | thx dr willis that link was very enlightening | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1066: are you affected by the issues in the link I gave? | 21:13 |

| ben1066 | possibly by the control panel one | 21:13 |

| rsumi | i just installed a fresh copy of 12.04 which i had running before. it installed the right nvidia driver before through a popup dialog that came from the top right of the screen. i don't know what made it come up before but is there a way to trigger this or something? | 21:20 |

| dr_willis | http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html | 21:25 |
| MelRay | Alright enough of the sarcasm...everyone here seems to have some sense that my previous response earlier today is somewhat out of the ordinary in that most other channels people would not have been nearly as polite in referring someone to use google...and if you were reading my question indicates I had already looked on the web. As you are aware depending on the search query terms the results will vary based on that...I'm not into | 21:26 |
| MelRay | confrontation so I will just move on knowing that it takes all kinds to make the world an interesting place to be....so piss off mate | 21:26 |

| LordThumper | gordonjcp: ye :) | 21:33 |
| gordonjcp | bazhang: o_O | 21:33 |
| ablyss | sdadsad: if you're using an external router only one port can be assigned an ip | 21:33 |
| Erik_D | sdadsad: Never done anything like that with apache, sorry | 21:33 |
| LordThumper | What is the default password for the admin account? | 21:33 |
| Erik_D | try #ubuntu-server | 21:34 |
| gordonjcp | !root | LordThumper | 21:34 |
| ubottu | LordThumper: 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 | 21:34 |
| sdadsad | yes i know ablyss but with mod_proxy you can run more | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | LordThumper: use sudo. not su to get to root | 21:34 |
| gordonjcp | root logins need to die, horribly | 21:35 |
| LordThumper | dr_willis: ok | 21:35 |
| ablyss | sdadsad: the external router has nothing to do with mod_proxy.. it can only do what it can only do. | 21:35 |
