[00:00] <dt3k> X-warrior: what am I looking for
[00:00] <benedict_> or how to use it for file managers
[00:00] <Barilise> 32
[00:00] <jbald> does anyone know a good disassemble/debugger with UI?
[00:01] <dt3k> My issue isn't hardware related, I stuck the harddrive in an identical laptop and the issue still existed.
[00:01] <jbald> disassembler*
[00:02] <Barilise> while i'm at it, my session restarts randomly, and can I get Netflix to stream?
[00:02] <yeats> Barilise: re: Netflix - they don't support Linux, so that's a no-go
[00:03] <Barilise> :-(
[00:03] <yeats> Barilise: just FYI: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/netflix-no-change-in-our-plans-for-linux
[00:03] <yeats> Barilise: what do you mean by "restarts randomly"?
[00:04] <usr13> Barilise: What error do you get when trying to run foldit?
[00:04] <Barilise> the screen will go black for a few seconds.  then I get a log-in prompt andeverything i had running or open has closed
[00:05] <Barilise> no error, it just doesn't do anything
[00:05] <usr13> Barilise: How are you launching it?
[00:05] <usr13> Barilise: Try running it from a terminal window and see what error it gives?
[00:05] <OerHeks> Barilise, i downloaded it, unpack by clickin it, it opens in fileroller, extract, then open Nautilus filemanager, and click Foldit. it starts downloading some stuff and have fun
[00:05] <Barilise> double click on the icon in the folder it extracted it to
[00:06] <usr13> Barilise: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[00:07] <ANGELO1> hi
[00:07] <OerHeks> Barilise, puzzle looks like fun, thanx for the tip
[00:07] <Barilise> Nautilis? and open in terminal...how?
[00:08] <usr13> Barilise: Well, one or the other...
[00:08] <OerHeks> Barilise, cd to the place where you unpacked it
[00:08] <OerHeks> no need for terminal.
[00:10] <Barilise> ok, i got to the place it's unpacked
[00:10] <Barilise> my machine and I don't know Nautilis
[00:11] <Muska> hoping maybe someone can help in here, I asked in the xen channel but no luck.  I did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 amd64, then installed xen per the instructions on ubuntus site (was really easy).  I then rebooted and found that the console was just spewing full of repeated text from dmesg.  This only happens after I get to the login prompt and then I am unable to use the console.
[00:11] <Muska> I can however ssh into the server no problem
[00:11] <OerHeks> Barilise, nautilus or other filemanager will do
[00:11] <Barilise> running 12.04 LTS
[00:13] <Barilise> home folder?
[00:13] <Barilise> OerHeks: may i pm you?
[00:14] <OerHeks> Barilise, i can't see where you unpacked the game. i made a folder in my ~/home
[00:14] <Barilise> home/Downloads
[00:15] <OerHeks> Barilise, if you cannot find nautilus, open terminal> ctrl + alt + T and type nautilus
[00:15] <yeats> Muska: can you pastebin the errors?
[00:16] <k1l_> Barilise: nautilus is the file-explorer
[00:16] <Muska> yeats I have a picture of the console to give you an idea of some of the output
[00:16] <yeats> ok
[00:16] <Muska> http://geo.animounted.net/xenconsole.png
[00:16] <Muska> stuff like that just flies up the screen
[00:17] <Muska> also nothing new is popping up in dmesg after I boot so I'm thinking it's just something broken with the console
[00:17] <wads> hello anyone wanna make some money? Phyton | PHP | Web!!!!
[00:17] <k1l_> wads: wrong channel for that.
[00:18] <yeats> Muska: so you don't see those messages with 'tail -f /var/log/dmesg'?
[00:18] <steven-> yay gui
[00:18] <Barilise> OerHeks: that pulls up the file system as I normally see it
[00:18] <yeats> Muska: that partial screenshot doesn't provide enough information I'm afraid
[00:18] <blackshirt> hello,good morninh
[00:18] <blackshirt> morning
[00:18] <Muska> yeats, typing that command shows me this: http://pastie.org/5343248
[00:19] <wads> hello anyone wanna make some money? Phyton | PHP | Web!!!!   hit me private please
[00:19] <blackshirt> wads, free lancer ?
[00:19] <OerHeks> Barilise, oke, now browse to the /Download/Foldit/ folder
[00:19] <OerHeks> !ot | wads
[00:19] <wads> blackshirt im doing a project for school and i need help
[00:19] <k1l_> wads: stop advertising in this channel. see the channelrules. its forbidden here
[00:20] <Barilise> OerHeks: ok
[00:20] <yeats> Muska: but the messages don't continue, correct?
[00:20] <Muska> yeats, correct
[00:20] <yeats> hmm
[00:20] <Muska> here is another screenshot I jsut took now http://geo.animounted.net/xenconsole1.png
[00:20] <wads> im not advertising i need help and i will pay for it
[00:20] <OerHeks> Barilise, oke, click Foldit, and a yellow-ish window should pop up
[00:21] <Barilise> OerHeks: the icon?
[00:21] <yeats> Muska: and the terminal is continuing to fill with messages even after boot? (just confirming)
[00:21] <k1l_> wads: php, phyton and web is no ubuntu support. and the support here is free of charge. so please stick to the rules or leave the channel.
[00:22] <Muska> yeats, that is correct.  It doesn't seem like they are new messages just a lot of old ones repeating on the screen in a chaotic manner.  This only started happening after I performed the steps to install Xen
[00:22] <OerHeks> Barilise, there is just one file called Foldit
[00:22] <Muska> I literally copy and pasted from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen right up to the reboot part
[00:23] <blackshirt> wads, actually you can use a lot of framework available on ubuntu repository
[00:23] <irocksu> hi
[00:23] <never_ever> hi
[00:23] <irocksu> why cannot i select my custom font in the terminal?
[00:23] <yeats> Muska: any info in any of the other logs? (syslog, kern.log, etc.)
[00:24] <irocksu> i installed monaco from my mac on my ubuntu by putting it in .fonts and executing fc-cache -fv
[00:24] <irocksu> and tried to edit my terminal profile, but i cannot select monaco.
[00:24] <wads> k1l i think people should mind their own business i came here for help as everybody, im working on ubuntu distro and i need help on the part that has to do with ubuntu on phyton or php
[00:24] <Barilise> OerHeks: there's a diamond shaped icon that says Foldit.  i clicked on it and nothing happened.  i double clicked it and nothing happened.  i right clicked on it and told it to open and nothing happened
[00:24] <Guest5124> Is there a way to repair a instalaion?
[00:24] <Muska> yeats, nothing that seems relevant.
[00:25] <wads> blackshirt i thank you for that
[00:25] <OerHeks> Barilise, you have 32 bit ubuntu, when i look @ http://fold.it/portal/ i only see 64 bit linux ..
[00:25] <yeats> Muska: hmm - and the numbers in the brackets (e.g. [   1.199179]) are not climbing? or are they?
[00:26] <OerHeks> maybe i am wrong and the page detects my 64 bit machine ...
[00:26] <Muska> yeats, I will watch for a while to see if they are
[00:26] <k1l_> wads: you should take a look into the channelguidlines :/  if you have problem on a ubuntu device. describe it and people in here will try to help.
[00:26] <dt3k> I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and my wireless randomly stopped working.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.  I've verified the hardware switch isn't set to off.  I've checked rfkill.  My wireless card still shows under LSPCI as Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n.  Any idea?
[00:27] <Barilise> OerHeks: so it won't work because mine is 32?
[00:27] <OerHeks> Barilise, i am afraid so ..
[00:28] <Muska> yeats, they numbers have not climbed however I did see some smaller numbers on a few screenshots, nothing bigger though
[00:28] <Barilise> OerHerks: thank you for your help and patience.
[00:28] <yeats> Muska: huh
[00:28] <Barilise> I Miss Windows!!
[00:29] <OerHeks> Barilise, do you have a problem  another game ?
[00:29]  * OerHeks loves newbies with new games
[00:29] <Barilise> OerHeks: it's a design tool, and it's possible it's not supported
[00:30] <joaojeronimo> hi guys, after deleting /etc/nginx and "apt-get purge nginx", installing nginx again is not creating the file /etc/nginx. How do I start over again ?
[00:32] <pba> Hi guys!
[00:32] <pba> anyone knows how to force a complete reinstall of one package?
[00:32] <magma> how can I set environment variables just for my user?
[00:32] <Barilise> OerHeks: Spriter
[00:32] <michealPW> Wait a minute what? If you're using 32-bit Ubuntu you can't install 64-bit packages, even if you've got a 64-bit processor?
[00:32] <dt3k> true
[00:33] <michealPW> That's weird
[00:33] <michealPW> However if you're using 64-bit Ubuntu you should be able to install both 32 and 64-bit packages?
[00:34] <wads> i have an error says "Unmet Dependecies" with mysql
[00:34] <wads> i have an error says "Unmet Dependecies" with mysql, everytime i try to install something
[00:34] <michealPW> wads: Try sudo apt-get install -f
[00:35] <michealPW> I think that will find and fix the problem?
[00:35] <OerHeks> Barilise, oke, after download, and unpack, use terminal. cd /to/the/folder/ and execute " sh Spri<tab> enter
[00:35] <k1l_> wads: can you show the output in a pastebin?
[00:35] <yeats> michealPW: correct, but you might have to install i386 libraries to get things workin
[00:36] <michealPW> yeats: Jah! Well that's a bummer.. Shouldn't there be some kinda warning on the download page? :(
[00:36] <wads> michaelPW: i try and still give me an error with mysql-server-5.5 / mysql-server
[00:36] <michealPW> Well that's the extent of my expertise, wads :(
[00:36] <michealPW> LOL

[00:37] <brittnee> sup
[00:37] <Fylh_if> guampa:
[00:37] <graingert> wat
[00:37] <EuroNerd__> wtf
[00:37] <metasansana> what he said
[00:37] <michealPW> Well he woke everyone up at least :P
[00:37] <null1024> just a mass highlight
[00:38] <michealPW> hehe
[00:38] <Samanagh> Well played
[00:38] <yeats> michealPW: I think it's common knowledge that a 32-bit OS can't run 64-bit software (not just ubuntu)
[00:38] <brittnee> how am i suppose to browse porn if limechat interrupts ?
[00:38] <magma> how can I set environment variables just for my user?
[00:38] <sertaconay> he sets the alarm
[00:38] <monkeyhybrid> BadThing is a bad thing
[00:38] <jrib> magma: like what for example?
[00:38] <OerHeks> Barilise, after starting it, start a new project. then you can do nothing, download the example spriter file from http://www.brashmonkey.com/download.htm
[00:38] <michealPW> yeats: Win7 I've installed the 32-bit build of it and it can install 64-bit software, as long as your processor can do it?
[00:39] <magma> jrib: to set some binaries in the classpath that just my user uses
[00:39] <nopf> michealPW: no i don't think so
[00:39] <jrib> magma: use ~/.profile
[00:40] <michealPW> No? If I wasn't so tired I'd try and test
[00:40] <magma> jrib: It says that it is not recommended that file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[00:40] <Magiobiwan> michealPW, if you try to run a 64-bit .exe on a 32-bit OS
[00:40] <Magiobiwan> You'll get an error saying that it's not a Valid Win32 program
[00:41] <michealPW> That's interesting
[00:41] <jrib> magma: interesting.  Use ~/.pam_environment then I guess
[00:41] <michealPW> So I guess that's pretty clear-cut advantage to choosing the 64-bit OS.. Hrmm
[00:41] <michealPW> I had a nightmare of blue screens with 64-bit win7 :(
[00:41] <michealPW> Off-topic I guess now, meh. Don't mind me :P
[00:43] <phunyguy_t430s> OK this is driving me nuts.  I have reinstalled the OS several times, with different configurations to try and get this working.  I changed the BIOS around from AHCI to IDE, and back again with no luck... Installed with and without LVM to see if that was the issue, nothing.  Ubuntu can see the drive and mount it, but for some reason grub must not be installing to the drive.
[00:43] <woot-0854> phunyguy_t430s: did you try dd?
[00:43]  * dishe has been away from linux too long
[00:43] <phunyguy_t430s> woot-0854, dd for what?
[00:44] <cowsquad> hello folks. Does anyone know how in the world I can connect to the internet in solaris 11. I know this is a ubuntu channel, but can anyone help me please
[00:44] <cowsquad> I am dual booting ubuntu and Solaris
[00:44] <cowsquad> dont kick me out please
[00:44] <dishe> are there known issues with mouse context in the latest Ubuntu builds?
[00:44] <woot-0854> dd if=/location/ubu-.iso of=/dev/sda1 e.g.
[00:45] <phunyguy_t430s> seems like a weird way to install woot-0854 but is it to eliminate Ubuntu as the problem?
[00:45] <dishe> I've been away from linux too long to know if this is normal, but I just put the latest Ubuntu on an old laptop and I'm finding the mouse gets stuck in context within running applications
[00:46] <woot-0854> phunyguy_t430s: yah totaly monkey logic but used in examples throughout linux books
[00:46] <dishe> like, if running firefox and surfing, I can't click anything outside of the browser (volume, settings, another application, etc)
[00:46] <phunyguy_t430s> woot-0854, installing to the USB stick isnt the issue but you are teling me to do that to the HDD, right?
[00:47] <kickingvegas> hi folks, here using 12.04 dual boot with win7. If I upgrade to win8, will it mess with my ubuntu install?
[00:47] <jpds> woot-0854: What is writing an ISO to the hard disk going to do to help?
[00:47] <dishe> if manage to switch the context to another application (by using keyboard shortcuts) I can sometimes get the mouse to respond outside of the browser, but then it won't let me click within in.
[00:47] <dishe> This behavior isn't limited to the browser. It seems to be OS-wide. The mouse gets stuck inside of a particular context
[00:49] <cowsquad> kickingvegas, yes it will delete everything
[00:49] <kickingvegas> cowsquad: !
[00:49] <kickingvegas> really?
[00:49] <woot-0854> sorry bout the lagg.  ok ya during installations you can use live boots with some recon iso's to write disk to disk
[00:49] <cowsquad> is windows your primary OS, or ubunt
[00:50] <oreth> kickingvegas: man, you're all over free node, aren't you?
[00:50] <phunyguy_t430s> woot-0854, but how does that help me?
[00:51] <Barilise> OerHeks:in folder  in terminal, it says can't open Spri
[00:51] <woot-0854> phunyguy_t430s: because you said grub was giving you static
[00:51] <OerHeks> Barilise, Spri + TAB to complete
[00:51] <kickingvegas> cowsquad: ubuntu; right now have it in a weird config where grub loads by default; can get to win7 when I escape during BIOS/EFI loading then boot win7
[00:51] <phunyguy_t430s> yes but HOW does it help, woot-0854
[00:51] <jpds> woot-0854: OK, that makes no sense.
[00:51] <kickingvegas> oreth: I'm everywhere.
[00:51] <kickingvegas> :)
[00:51] <OerHeks> Barilise, use capital S !
[00:52] <woot-0854> you could format ur disk fat32 and use lilo or grub4dos copy ur kernels and initrd.  if grub is acting up it can be modified.  that trick is just a quick fix.  dont use it if you dont want to
[00:53] <phunyguy_t430s> *sigh*
[00:53] <woot-0854> grub2 is beta plain and simple
[00:53] <phunyguy_t430s> yes but I am not in a grub2 channel, I am in a Ubuntu channel which supports grub2 in Ubuntu 12.10
[00:53] <jpds> woot-0854: No, it's not.
[00:54] <woot-0854> jpds: there is a grub2.2?
[00:54] <phunyguy_t430s> so are there some grub2 commands to run to mimick what the installer does so I may see an error?
[00:54] <jpds> phunyguy_t430s: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --- is what the installer normally does.
[00:54] <jpds> woot-0854: See: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/index.html
[00:54] <phunyguy_t430s> thanks
[00:55] <Barilise> OerHeks: /Downloads/simplejson-2.1.6$ sh Spriter
[00:55] <Barilise> sh: 0: Can't open Spriter
[00:55] <phunyguy_t430s> guessing I have to mount the installation and chroot...  ><
[00:55] <nog_lorp> Howdy, I was wondering if there is a way to hide the window decorations for a specific window
[00:55] <phunyguy_t430s> jpds ^^^
[00:55] <jpds> phunyguy_t430s: Probably.
[00:56] <phunyguy_t430s> and I have to mount /proc, etc
[00:56] <phunyguy_t430s> (I knew my Gentoo skills would come in handy)
[00:56] <jpds> phunyguy_t430s: Not even chroot, just: grub-install /dev/sda --boot-directory=/media/mount
[00:56] <ubuntuaddicted> how can I force a drive to unmount?
[00:56] <OerHeks> Barilise, are you in the right folder? i downloaded Spriter-free. check the content with: ls
[00:56] <nog_lorp> anyone know how to disable window decorations on a per-window basis?
[00:56] <ubuntuaddicted> i've tried the -f switch. it still says it's busy
[00:57] <jpds> ubuntuaddicted: Kill the process writing to it.
[00:57] <ubuntuaddicted> i've even run lsof but nothing shows up for /media/1tb/
[00:57] <ubuntuaddicted> jpds, nothing shows up in lsof
[00:57] <nog_lorp> woops
[00:57] <woot-0854> jpds: not 2.2 still beta
[00:58] <dishe> exit
[00:58] <phunyguy_t430s> jpds, thanks
[00:59] <delac> what parameters should
[00:59] <ben64> jockey is giving me an error when looking for additional drivers, how can I install the nvidia driver manually?
[00:59] <nog_lorp> anyone have any insights?
[00:59] <nog_lorp> :(
[00:59] <delac> what parameters should  I use with fsch when run from live-usb?
[00:59] <phunyguy_t430s> I think I found the issue already
[00:59] <nog_lorp> or pointers to relevant docs
[00:59] <delac> what parameters should  I use with fsck when run from live-usb?
[00:59] <phunyguy_t430s> i did an fdisk -l to see what the partition numbers were, and it said it is a GPT partition
[00:59] <phunyguy_t430s> maybe I need to clean the disk before the install?
[01:00] <Barilise> OerHeks: yes
[01:00] <phunyguy_t430s> jpds, ^^^^^^
[01:00] <Barilise> OerHeks: that's yes i'm in the right folder
[01:01] <jpds> phunyguy_t430s: Hmm, never dealt with GPT partitions.
[01:01] <phunyguy_t430s> yeah but it doesnt need to be, jpds.
[01:01] <phunyguy_t430s> not sure why it is used as that
[01:02] <OerHeks> Barilise, odd, it works here fine, sh Spriter
[01:03] <Barilise> OerHeks: ok, thanks for your help
[01:04] <[twisti]> hello, i have a file in "/etc/ /"
[01:04] <[twisti]> is that a bug in that package ?
[01:04] <chnops> im trying to install ubuntu on my game pc to try steam for linux, but the installer crashes with some console message about a nouveau GPU lockup
[01:04] <chnops> is there a way to use the closed source nvidia driver?
[01:04] <[twisti]> the package in question is cacti-spine
[01:05] <phunyguy_t430s> it seems I need a program called fixparts to remove errant GPT data.
[01:05] <phunyguy_t430s> working on it
[01:09] <chnops> anyone?
[01:09] <phunyguy_t430s> !patience | chnops
[01:09] <creuset> phunyguy_t430s: I don't know the command: !patience
[01:10] <chnops> nevermind, found a bug for it looks like a known issue
[01:10] <chnops> guess ubuntu just can't be installed on any machine with newer nvidia GPU's, awesome
[01:11] <phunyguy_t430s> chnops, youshould be able to use the closed source driver..... no?
[01:11] <phunyguy_t430s> missed him, lol
[01:15] <phunyguy_t430s> Hmmm it still sees it as an EFI system.

[01:20] <somsip> !register | hakimfifie
[01:20] <phunyguy_t430s> hakimfifie, do you have a Ubuntu related question?
[01:21] <phunyguy_t430s> lol ok
[01:21] <phunyguy_t430s> So is an EFI system, a specific type of Hardware?
[01:22] <phunyguy_t430s> or is Ubuntu just confused?
[01:23] <ben64> How can I install nvidia drivers without the "Additional Drivers" thing
[01:23] <dr_willis> !info nvidia-current
[01:23] <antivirys> ben64:
[01:23] <ben64> I thought there was more to it than just that package
[01:24] <dr_willis> install that package
[01:24] <Daisy> Does anyone know how to restore Unity to defults from terminal in Ubuntu 12.04?
[01:24] <dr_willis> thats all i ever do . it pulls in other things as needed
[01:24] <steven-> phunyguy_t430s, what do you mean?
[01:24] <ben64> dr_willis, if it doesn't work I'll come back and yell at you :)
[01:24] <antivirys> ben64: please looked google.com
[01:24] <dr_willis> Daisy:  the webupd8 blog site has a guide with the exact commands'
[01:24] <antivirys> how to install nvidia driver ubuntu
[01:24] <antivirys> bla bla bla
[01:24] <antivirys> enjoy :)
[01:24] <Random832> Daisy: how much do you care about anything else that might be in your home directory?
[01:25] <dr_willis> all i ever do is install nvidia-current
[01:25] <steven-> wasn't the command just unity --reset
[01:25] <steven-> ?
[01:25] <phunyguy_t430s> steven-, this PC is having issues installing Ubuntu, and the disk is EFI (Whatever that is)
[01:25] <phunyguy_t430s> its not a mac, and I have only seen that on mac
[01:25] <Random832> when I get my window manager misconfigured I just move ~/.* into a temp directory
[01:25] <Random832> and then sort out what's worth keeping [generally just my browser and email]
[01:25] <Daisy> @Random832 Uh I have a seprate encrypted partiton so i dont really mind :P
[01:26] <Random832> Daisy: well my solution involves actually nuking stuff in the home directory, so encrypted or not doesn't matter :P
[01:26] <Marius80> excuse me please,  how can I find out what MTA (Mail transfer agent)  is in use?
[01:26] <Marius80> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1766/xinetd
[01:26] <Marius80> xinetd  doesn't tell me much about my MTA
[01:26] <Random832> Marius80: what makes you think you have one at all?
[01:27] <Random832> well you could look in xinetd.conf
[01:27] <Marius80> Random832, because it is a virtual server I rented
[01:27] <Random832> ah
[01:27] <Daisy> @Random832 I keep breaking my laptop, I get all crazy about how i want it to be :L Nuking the home directory sounds fun :P
[01:27] <Random832> i thought you meant a desktop system
[01:27] <Random832> because back in the day, you had to have an MTA for desktop systems
[01:27] <Random832> I remember when debian moved from sendmail to postfix
[01:28] <zvacet> Daisy:  see http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration
[01:28] <Marius80> Random832, is "qmail" an MTA ?
[01:28] <Random832> yes, it is.
[01:28] <Marius80> hum
[01:28] <Marius80> how bald :(
[01:28] <Daisy> @zvacet Thank you :)
[01:28] <Marius80> I hoped postfix would be running

[01:54] <bkfitz> Anyone know how to stop start openssh-server on ubuntu 12.04... i tried /etc/init.d/ssh stop and it just hangs... also tried sudo service ssh stop and it says unknown instance
[01:54] <zvacet> !pastebin wads
[01:55] <hilo> hello, my linuxraid (level 5) has been dropping one of the drives and I'm worried. Can anyone offer any troubleshooting advice? I'm not sure if it's the drive or possibly the enclosure since the drive will rebuild and work without a hitch for a few weeks at a time before the next freakout (which happens during boot usually).
[01:55] <becom33> Im gettting error when I click on the nvidia settings You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[01:55] <zvacet> !pastebin
[01:55] <becom33> and I did that and restarted the machine still Im getting the same error
[01:56] <zvacet> wads : just go to the above link and all the rest will be simple
[01:56] <zykotick9> Daisy: zvacet to use ubottu to highligh another use you need to use a | like: "!pastebin | wads" or to send it privately instead use > like: "!pastebin > wads"
[01:56] <zvacet> zykotick9: I know but forgot my mistake
[01:56] <urgodfather> hilo: typically with at raid 5 you should be able to replace the drive and then rebuild it
[01:57] <OerHeks> wads, bash has a utility called "script" that creates a sub-terminal that writes to file. For example: " script ask-ubuntu.txt "It will create a new bash prompt, and all input and output will be stored in the file ask-ubuntu.txt. do the install again,  then cat ubuntu.txt | pastebinit
[01:57] <becom33> anyone for me ?
[01:57] <urgodfather> hilo, another solution would be to consider imaging the drive with clonezilla
[01:58] <wads> OerHeks : zvacet : http://imagebin.org/235076
[01:59] <becom33> anyone ?
[01:59] <zvacet> wads:  type in terminal  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[02:00] <OerHeks> zvacet +1
[02:01] <becom33> elo ?
[02:01] <OerHeks> becom33, what nvidia card are you using? open terminal: lspci | grep VGA
[02:02] <phunyguy_t430s> so I will ask again, since the last person cant help me.  I am on a new PC, Lenovo M92p, I get the OS installed, but then the install acts like nothing is there at boot... "No Operating System Found" error message from the bios.
[02:02] <becom33> OerHeks, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2)
[02:02] <zykotick9> becom33: try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then reboot (or restart Xorg)
[02:02] <urgodfather> becom33: elo is a touchscreen, mostly used with point of sales machines, etc.
[02:02] <becom33> zykotick9, I tried that didnt work
[02:02] <urgodfather> becom33: what was your question again?
[02:03] <bkfitz> Anyone know how to stop start openssh-server on ubuntu 12.04... i tried /etc/init.d/ssh stop and it just hangs... also tried sudo service ssh stop and it says unknown instance
[02:03] <becom33> my nvidia drivers doesnt work
[02:03] <phunyguy_t430s> i go back to the livecd, and it shows a 190 meg fat32 partition (with boot flag), 244 meg partition for /boot, and 465 gig partition for /
[02:03] <phunyguy_t430s> doesnt seem right to me
[02:03] <Erin> where does nginx on ubuntu keep the default .html page? I don't have a /var/www ....
[02:04] <urgodfather> which card do you have?
[02:04] <zykotick9> bkfitz: don't use /etc/init.d/ anymore, use service.  inti.d is the old sysv, and ubuntu is moving to upstart
[02:05] <zvacet> night see you again
[02:05] <persona24> Hello
[02:05] <Erin> can someone tell me where NGINX keeps the default html page on ubuntu ?
[02:06] <bkfitz> zykotick9: so service ssh stop?
[02:06] <becom33> OerHeks,  ?
[02:06] <zykotick9> bkfitz: that works here.  "should" work for you too.  are you sure it's running "ps aux | grep ssh" show more then just the grep?
[02:06] <zykotick9> bkfitz: sudo though!
[02:07] <bkfitz> zykotick9: I just ran sudo service ssh stop and I get: stop: Unknown instance:
[02:07] <zykotick9> bkfitz: are you sure it's running?
[02:07] <chnops_ubuntu> hi
[02:07] <zykotick9> bkfitz: are you sure it's installed?
[02:08] <wads> OerHeks : zvacet : http://imagebin.org/235079
[02:08] <OerHeks> becom33, have no clue, if nvidia-xconfig doesn't solve ..
[02:08] <becom33> shit :/
[02:09] <wads> zvacet : i try and did what you told me still get that error
[02:09] <wads> zvacet : i try and did what you told me still get that error http://imagebin.org/235079
[02:09] <chnops_ubuntu> I was having a problem with the installer freezing with my nvidia GPU due to some bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/925048 ), so I went ahead and swapped it for my crappy radeon, which at least let me install ubuntu - so far so good
[02:10] <xwalk> I'm trying to make a live usb using UNetbootin. The program keeps asking for a root password, but will not accept my sudo password. I'm dead certain it's being entered absolutely correctly. Is there a problem with this program running with Kubuntu 12.04?
[02:11] <bkfitz> zykotick9: ok I got it now.. it was already stopped... thx
[02:11] <chnops_ubuntu> but now I want to install the binary nvidia drivers and put my nvidia card back in, but the nvidia driver isn't listed under the Additional Drivers tab on the Software Sources dialog
[02:11] <chnops_ubuntu> is there some other way to install the nvidia drivers (or at least prevent nouveau from being loaded)
[02:11] <chnops_ubuntu> plus question mark
[02:12] <urgodfather> chnops_ubuntu: i remember there was some settings that had to be modified in grub to make it work right
[02:12] <chnops_ubuntu> oh, hmm
[02:13] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: what distro?
[02:13] <chnops_ubuntu> ubuntu 12.10
[02:14] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: did you try nvidia-current package?
[02:14] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: did you try "nvidia-current" package?
[02:15] <chnops_ubuntu> nope, let me see if I can figure out how to manually install packages :p
[02:15] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: insure you also install 'dkms'
[02:15] <chnops_ubuntu> not very used to unity yet
[02:15] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current dkms
[02:16] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: throw that into a terminal
[02:17] <chnops_ubuntu> almoxarife, ok, looks like it finished installing a bunch of things, can I now just swap in my nvidia card and it will use nvidia's driver?
[02:18] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: now? you saying the card was not installed first?
[02:19] <chnops_ubuntu> almoxarife, no I had to put in the radeon to be able to boot without GPU locksup :p
[02:19] <chnops_ubuntu> or install even, but I left it in after install completed so I could figure out how to get the non-nouveau driver installed
[02:20] <chnops_ubuntu> but I'm guessing that's what I just did :p
[02:21] <almoxarife> chnops_ubuntu: i don't know what will happen now, the card needs to be installed, then the install, but you can afford to see what happens next, reboot when ever you are ready
[02:21] <chnops_ubuntu> ok, back in a bit
[02:23] <netroby> Xubuntu 12.10 is awesome
[02:25] <prplzh> hey my browser has crashed and it's faded grey right now, how do i deal with that?
[02:26] <netroby> what browser are you using.
[02:26] <prplzh> i am using chrome
[02:26] <prplzh> and i believe it's fully up to date
[02:27] <netroby> I am using Google chrome 23, on my laptop with Xubuntu 12.10.
[02:27] <netroby> it's ok
[02:27] <netroby> what is the problem you faced?
[02:27] <prplzh> i wasn't using it, then i tabbed to it and it was faded grey
[02:27] <prplzh> it's happened a couple of times
[02:29] <Stanley00> prplzh: hmm, I don't like chrome on linux, why don't you use chromium? I think it works better.
[02:29] <Recombobulator> I am having some trouble with NVIDIA drivers, and I was wondering if anyone else had experience dealing with them.
[02:29] <almoxarife> prplzh: you may want to purge the package and re-install
[02:30] <almoxarife> Recombobulator: be a bit more specific
[02:30] <prplzh> i don't know how to use chromium
[02:30] <prplzh> i thought chrome and chromium was the same to be honest
[02:30] <prplzh> purging and reinstalling seems like a lot of hassle
[02:30] <almoxarife> prplzh: if you know chrome then chromium is the same
[02:30] <prplzh> for a program that crashed
[02:31] <almoxarife> prplzh: alrighty then
[02:31] <Recombobulator> I had downloaded the proper drivers from NVIDIA, and installed them, but after updating some stuff, the resolution dropped down to 800x600, and the NVIDIA settings panel says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[02:31] <Recombobulator> They were working before.
[02:31] <almoxarife> Recombobulator: the 'stuff' happen to be a kernel update?
[02:32] <Recombobulator> I honestly don't know, I just said "okay."
[02:32] <Recombobulator> :P
[02:32] <prplzh> i'm really just looking at, how do i close it down when it's faded to grey
[02:32] <prplzh> i can't click anything on it
[02:32] <prplzh> and restart it
[02:33] <Recombobulator> I am fairly new to Linux.
[02:34] <almoxarife> Recombobulator: sounds like a kernel update, remember what you did the first time to install nvidia? you may have to do it again, unless you want to do it a simpler way
[02:34] <chnops> ok it didn't manage to bring up unity correctly, and checking on the console with lsmod, it doesn't seem to have loaded the nvidia kernel module
[02:34] <Recombobulator> I can reinstall them.
[02:34] <dina_> hi
[02:34] <almoxarife> !nvidia | Recombobulator
[02:34] <dina_> i started to receive these messages

[02:39] <mark__> Hey whats the best way to learn on your own about the basics of ubuntu?
[02:39] <mark__> Is there something i should read?
[02:39] <Recombobulator> Netroby, I get this: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)."
[02:39] <almoxarife> Recombobulator: i have a home entertainment computer with nvidia graphics, oneiric even, two apps that need to be installed to keep updates simple are, ,'nvidia-current' and 'dkms'
[02:40] <hilo> is there a way to monitor a file in /proc in realtime?
[02:40] <Recombobulator> Alright, I am going to try reinstalling the drivers.
[02:40] <Recombobulator>  I will check back with you, hopefully.
[02:40] <almoxarife> mark__: the ubuntu server manual is a good d/l to use as a reference
[02:41] <netroby> @Recombobulator ,  you may also see /var/log/Xorg.0.log , see what cause error
[02:41] <mark__> thanks almox
[02:41] <Ben64> how can I disable the button on my keyboard that suspends the system? I want it to activate the screensaver instead.

[02:44] <maetthew> almoxarife, Not sure about dist upgrade command. Last thing i saw was packages being unpacked and processed.
[02:44] <maetthew> root     26225  0.0  0.0  26868  1580 ?        Ss   03:12   0:00 SCREEN -e \0\0 -L -c screenrc -S ubuntu-release-upgrade-screen-window /tmp/update-manager-HG_2TB/natty --mode=server --frontend=DistUpgrad
[02:44] <chnops> almoxarife, I managed to get X to use the vesa driver and now I can just install it through the "additional drivers" window, so I guess all should be ok now, thanks for your help :)
[02:45] <almoxarife> chnops: you used 'jockey' ?
[02:45] <chnops> I'm not sure what that is
[02:45] <ubuntu_user32> Hey if anyone's able to help I have a problem that I don't quite know how to describe enough to make a post on ubuntuforums. While doing certain tasks in Ubuntu 12.04, the screen will just go black and I'll be presented with the login screen. Anybody know what might be causing this?
[02:45] <almoxarife> chnops: i think you used jockey, cool
[02:45] <chnops> ah, ok :p
[02:46] <almoxarife> !jockey
[02:46] <almoxarife> ?
[02:46] <phong_> anyone familiar with svn?
[02:47] <chnops> hum, nvidia kernel module is still now loaded
[02:47] <Stanley00> !anyone > phong_
[02:47] <chnops> and 'modprobe nvidia' gives 'FATAL: Module nvidia_experimental_304 not found.'
[02:47] <chnops> s/still now/still not/
[02:49] <Ben64> chnops: how did you install nvidia?
[02:49] <almoxarife> chnops: i would assume that the module is not part of nvidia-current?
[02:49] <chnops> I used the "additional drivers" window thingy
[02:50] <chnops> though maybe I should not have picked the experimental one
[02:50] <almoxarife> chnops: what driver did the 'thingy' install?
[02:50] <almoxarife> chnops: btw, the thingy is 'jockey'
[02:50] <chnops> good question, I think it did say something but I don't recall exactly, something with nvidia-current-experimental or updates
[02:50] <chnops> unity doesn't come up at the moment so I can't check
[02:51] <chnops> (gets stuck on empty desktop after login)
[02:51] <chnops> checking apt's logs
[02:52] <chnops> nvidia-experimental-304:amd64 is what it installed it seems
[02:52] <chnops> I did install something nvidia related from the terminal before
[02:52] <chnops> let me just paste the log entries, hang on
[02:57] <chnops> http://pastebin.com/HGufSHQy (the entry from 03:44 is from jockey I think)
[02:57] <chnops> the other things I did from the terminal myself
[02:59] <chnops> oh: "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."
[02:59] <chnops> I guess that's the problem
[02:59] <chnops> I guess jockey normally takes care of that, but I messed things up by manually running apt-get? :p
[03:00] <Recombobulator> I have solved my problem with the NVIDIA drivers, it seems! I reinstalled the drivers, and installed the package "linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic." I think the problem is that there was a kernel update, which threw the drivers off. Thanks for your help, whoever helped me!
[03:01] <almoxarife> headers are not installed by default?
[03:01] <chnops> hum, I did get a kernel update too, I guess
[03:02] <chnops> I have 3.5.0-17-generic and 3.5.0-18-generic installed
[03:03] <almoxarife> chnops: look at the 'man' for dkms , i forget which option is for 'status' , if dkms is seeing your nvidia module your problems are solved as far as kernel updates
[03:03] <chnops> $ dkms status
[03:03] <chnops> nvidia-experimental-304, 304.48: added
[03:04] <chnops> though 'modprobe nvidia' says the module was not found
[03:04] <almoxarife> chnops: cool
[03:04] <chnops> (xorg log contains an error too from nvidia_drv.so not finding the kernel module)
[03:07] <almoxarife> chnops: install 'inxi' and then run inxi -G
[03:08] <chnops> hm, says unable to locate package inxi
[03:08] <chnops> if I  try apt-get install
[03:09] <cjae> where is the 12.10 update?
[03:10] <cjae>  i see no option to upgrade to 12.10
[03:11] <cjae> !1210
[03:11] <jiltdil> How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this?
[03:11] <chnops> almoxarife, ok I got it working now
[03:11] <almoxarife> chnops: share the output, lets see what you got
[03:12] <chnops> I did the same thing Recombobulator mentioned, installed linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic, then reinstalled nvidia-experimental-304 and now it works
[03:12] <chnops> ah no I didn't actually get inxi to install
[03:12] <almoxarife> chnops: i don't get it, i thought headers were installed by default
[03:13] <chnops> yeah, weird
[03:13] <chnops> it's entirely possible I screwed something up somehow
[03:14] <simplew> where is possible who have done ubuntu one translations?
[03:14] <ubuntu637> Hey, I'm about to finish an ubuntu install on my laptop and I'm wondering, there are two graphics drivers here; an intel driver for the main screen display and an extra VGA and HDMI adapter which are controlled by the Nvidia Geforce 540M chipset.  I've got two graphics makes on my laptop, so how will I install both drivers?  I've only ever dealt with one nvidia driver in the past.
[03:14] <almoxarife> chnops: i don't think so, you are not the only person who mentions having to install headers.
[03:14] <chnops> ah
[03:14] <almoxarife> i never was without headers
[03:15] <almoxarife> and i didn't know to have them to begin with, did learn later why i had to have them
[03:15] <jiltdil> Any One Have No Idea?
[03:16] <almoxarife> jiltdil: ask the question again
[03:16] <jiltdil> How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this?
[03:16] <jiltdil> almoxarife,
[03:16] <maetthew> Urgent problem: I started a 'do-release-upgrade' through SSH. Then the SSH connection died. Before the installation it said something about that it started it in a duplicate SSH session with a port number. Anyone know that port number?
[03:17] <Erin> im banging my head against the wall trying to get my ubuntu w/ nginx to download a file from one of the locally mounted HD's , all it does is download the index.html file....
[03:17] <almoxarife> jiltdil: i have no clue what that means, over my head
[03:19] <metap0d> Hi everyone, I tried to install ubuntu with a flash drive but part way through the install it said my image was corrupt. It looks like GRUB only partially installed on my hard drive. I found a boot repair tool to fix grub except that my windows partition is missing
[03:19] <metap0d> could help me to fix grub from inside my ubuntu live cd?
[03:19] <metap0d> i don't have another computer use to make another bootable usb
[03:19] <almoxarife> maetthew: port-sniff your server, locate the open port
[03:19] <metap0d> i'm trying to update grub from inside my ubuntu live cd
[03:19] <metap0d> to include my windows partition / os
[03:20] <bobweaver> metap0d, so you are on live cd ?
[03:20] <metap0d> bobweaver: right now i'm talking on the live cd from a java applet
[03:20] <bobweaver> metap0d,  can you paste the output of    sudo fdisk -l
[03:20] <bobweaver> !pastebin | metap0d
[03:20] <metap0d> bobweaver: Nothing comes up
[03:20] <muji> hello, would any1 know how i can upgrade my o.s without having to redownload the iso onto a cd and reinstalling?
[03:21] <bobweaver> Oo
[03:21] <xangua> !upgrade | muji
[03:21] <metap0d> bobweaver: I do see the "210gb filesystem" on my desktop which is my windows partition
[03:21] <bobweaver> metap0d,  pastebin ?
[03:22] <metap0d> bobweaver: Sorry what would you like on pastebin
[03:22] <bobweaver> metap0d,      sudo apt-get -y  install pastebinit  && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[03:22] <bobweaver> then give us the link
[03:23] <metap0d> bobweaver: I'm certainly new to linux but I don't think i'm that new. http://pastebin.com/ZgwAkbxN
[03:23] <metap0d> bobweaver: :o
[03:24] <jud> Just installed 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin on the other machine. At first tried updating from 9.1. It didn't work. I thought it might be something to do with the integration so I took the system hard drive out and started fresh with a new one, from a disk. same problem. It boots up but can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes a
[03:24] <metap0d> bobweaver: I've concluded I need to run update-grub on my /dev/sda2 partition, but I don't know how to mount it correctly
[03:25] <bobweaver> metap0d,  you need to mount /dev/sda3 then install grub to it
[03:25] <metap0d> bobweaver: I can mount it through the file manager by right clicking on it and hitting "mount volume" .. but it doesn't mount to /dev/sda3
[03:26] <metap0d> bobweaver: which is where my confusion lies : /
[03:27] <bobweaver> metap0d,  so      sudo  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt        then   sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda   then   cd    then     sudo umount /mnt           then reboot into linux then sudo update-grub       then sudo reboot
[03:27] <uabn93> is anyone familiar with rsync?
[03:28] <bobweaver> uabn93,  I know alittle about it for backups
[03:29] <uabn93> bobweaver: cool. Say you sync from A to B. then you delete something on A and sync again. what happens to the files that were on B from the first sync?
[03:30] <blackness> uabn93, they should remain unless you use the compare flags.
[03:32] <uabn93> blackness: i use grsync because im new to this. i dont see compare flags. is there another name for it?
[03:32] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:32] <metap0d_> bobweaver: when I rebooted into the linux live cd and issued sudo update-grub I got /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[03:33] <blackness> one moment uabn93
[03:34] <cordoval> how to keep opevpn running live?
[03:34] <blackness> --compare-dest=DIR      also compare destination files relative to DIR
[03:34] <cordoval> it shuts down everyonce in a while
[03:35] <uabn93> blackness: got it. thanks
[03:35] <gmachine_24> Greetings. I assume that I can boot a computer using Ubuntu on a microSD card plugged into a USB port with an adapter - since I can boot from a USB thumb drive. Correct? Or not.
[03:35] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  no that is not what I was saying please read again  .  So you need to install grub to your Linux OS which from your paste is located under  /dev/sda3   after that is *mounted*  you install grub to it.     after that you can unmount the partition and then reboot into your linux os Not The live cd       then you run sudo update-grub   then reboot and you will have everything
[03:36] <blackness> gmachine_24, yes, but it wont last long. i burnt out a new 8GB one in a day
[03:36] <metap0d_> bobweaver: In the middle of the process of installing ubuntu, the install failed and told me the image was bad, so I don't have a working linux os to boot into, just windows
[03:36] <gmachine_24> blackness, really, interesting.
[03:36] <metap0d_> bobweaver: when I try to boot in I get a black screen with a long list of errors related to missing files and then it reboots
[03:36] <blackness> those MicroSD cards are not designed for constant R/W
[03:36] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  start fresh and re-install
[03:37] <gmachine_24> blackness, got it. but the thumb drive is ok............??
[03:37] <blackness> Yep.
[03:37] <gmachine_24> or is that just for emergency repair
[03:37] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I tried twice, the image i wrote to this usb stick is 100% bad
[03:37] <edgy> hi, how can I view the cmyk layers on my pdf?
[03:37] <blackness> ive had the same ubuntu 8.04 on a USB stick and used it over and over and over for like 3 years
[03:37] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I only have my windows partition to create new bootable usb's from
[03:37] <bobweaver> md5sum | metap0d_
[03:37] <gmachine_24> blackness, ok. cool.
[03:37] <bobweaver> !md5sum | metap0d_
[03:37] <gmachine_24> metap0d, download it again and do a checksum
[03:37] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I did that, it doesn't match :p
[03:38] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  maybe get new image then ?
[03:38] <gmachine_24> metap0d_, then d/l it again
[03:38] <blackness> metap0d_, try using usb-creator-??? (gtk/kde)
[03:38] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I'm not trying to be a jerk ><, but the only operating I could download to (windows) is inaccessible because this attempt at installing ubuntu failed
[03:38] <metap0d_> i can't download / install a new ubuntu image to the usb stick i'm live booting from to talk to you all of you for assistance
[03:39] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  you said that windows was installed ?
[03:39] <bobweaver> no ?
[03:39] <gmachine_24> metap0d_, so your comp won't boot to Windows?
[03:39] <metap0d_> bobweaver: that's why i'm trying to repair grub to show the windows partition so i can re-download, prepare the USB and start again
[03:39] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:39] <blackness> metap0d_, what ubuntu are you using?
[03:39] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Windows is installed, it just isn't visible on the grub menu
[03:40] <metap0d_> blackness: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
[03:40] <bobweaver> but grub is broken I see
[03:40] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ but can you boot to Windows?
[03:40] <blackness> what ISO is on your usb stick metap0d_ ?
[03:40] <gmachine_24> I assume the answer is no
[03:40] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: hm... i'm not sure I'm very new at this ... I don't see why I wouldn't be able to if the grub entry were there. All I see is Ubuntu Linux and some memtest entries
[03:40] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  what is ram on computer ?       free -m
[03:41] <Febul> Why is my httpd.conf file in /etc/apache2 empty?
[03:41] <blackness> !windows
[03:41] <metap0d_> bobweaver: 4gb total, 2,381 free
[03:41] <blackness> crap. not what i was looking for.
[03:41] <[twisti]> Febul: the data is spread over other files
[03:41] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  and you are using usb ?  do you have a free cd drive atm ?
[03:41] <metap0d_> is there no way to run update-grub on the hard disk from inside the live cd?
[03:42] <gmachine_24> Gang, what about his using something like Supergrubdisk or rescatux?
[03:42] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Unfortunately no ... I'm really in a crummy situation
[03:42] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:42] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I only have 1 USB stick big enough for Ubuntu which is this one, and no other computers, I even thought about using an mp3 player
[03:42] <gmachine_24> ok nevermind. He can't download and burn a CD.
[03:42] <[twisti]> Febul: most of it is in apache2.conf, some in conf.d and in the sites/mods available folders
[03:42] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  because the install went bad I dont know try to chroot into the mnt
[03:42] <uabn93> blackness: about --compare-dest=DIR, how is this different from --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs?
[03:42] <[twisti]> Febul: are you looking for anything in particular ?
[03:42] <Febul> [twisti]: Where is the configuration for modules loaded? I would like to load mod wsgi.
[03:42] <gmachine_24> can't he go to the /dev/sda partition and install grub?
[03:43] <bobweaver> so metap0d_  let us see    sudo fdisk -l    again
[03:43] <[twisti]> Febul: for starters, you shouldnt load modules by changing config files
[03:43] <gmachine_24> I did that recently to fix a grub/boot problem
[03:43] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  never mind I found the last paste
[03:43] <gmachine_24> from a live CD
[03:43] <blackness> he can chroot to it.
[03:44] <bobweaver> so metap0d_  open termina and enter in          sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[03:44] <Febul> [twisti]: Well I've installed mod-wsgi from the APT. libapache2-mod-wsgi, is that enough?
[03:44] <blackness> he needs to mount the slice, and bind procfs then chroot to /mnt/ and update-grub
[03:44] <metap0d_> then chroot /mnt
[03:44] <metap0d_> ?
[03:44] <[twisti]> Febul: i dont see that particular mod, you may have to google how to use that in ubuntu, oh yeah, or that
[03:44] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  let us know when you did that ^^^
[03:44] <[twisti]> then do
[03:44] <[twisti]> sudo a2enmod wsgi
[03:44] <[twisti]> or whatever its called
[03:44] <Febul> [twisti]: Have you ever used mod_wsgi?
[03:44] <[twisti]> you can check /etc/apache2/mods-available
[03:44] <bobweaver> so metap0d_  open terminal *  and enter in          sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[03:45] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:45] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Done, I don't know if I went to far but afterward I chroot /mnt
[03:45] <metap0d_> bobweaver: the terminal prompt has changed
[03:45] <[twisti]> i have not, which is why i cant tell you about it specifically, only about how youre supposed to load mods in general
[03:45] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:45] <metap0d_> bobweaver: now could I issue sudo update-grub /dev/sda ?
[03:45] <dsnyders> !virtual
[03:45] <bobweaver> metap0d_,   what does       cd /mnt  && ls      say ?
[03:45] <Febul> [twisti]: It says that it's loaded, thanks.
[03:45] <bobweaver> a bunch of stuff ?
[03:46] <Febul> If anyone here has ever used mod_wsgi/flask, some guided assistance would be greatly appreciated :)
[03:46] <[twisti]> Febul: dont forget that you might have to restart apache2
[03:46] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I was able to change into /mnt without any issues, but ls shows nothing
[03:46] <metap0d_> bobweaver: sorry did you want me doing this before chrooting in ><
[03:46] <bobweaver> cool    metap0d_  what does     whoami      say ?
[03:47] <metap0d_> bobweaver: root
[03:47] <Febul> [twisti]: Thanks :)
[03:47] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  enter in        sudo update-grub
[03:47] <bobweaver> what happens ?
[03:47] <Febul> [twisti]: How do I restart from the command line again?
[03:47] <[twisti]> sudo service apache2 restart
[03:47] <metap0d_> bobweaver: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[03:48] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show.                                                                                                                                                I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:48] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  what is output of        mount
[03:48] <dsnyders> !ramdisk
[03:48] <jud> Can anyone offer a link that will help sort it out?
[03:48] <Febul> [twisti]: Thaks
[03:48] <metap0d_> bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/5LKgZzz1
[03:48] <[twisti]> oh, also, youre supposed to do something very similar if you have site-specific config: put the configs into /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then do "sudo a2ensite sitename"
[03:49] <bobweaver> metap0d_,     type in    exit
[03:49] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Looks like I'm back in the live cd prompt again
[03:49] <bobweaver> then metap0d_      cd ~  && sudo umount /mnt
[03:49] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Done
[03:50] <bobweaver> metap0d_, let us see       mount     again
[03:50] <gmachine_24> metap0D_ this is the command he needs to run: sudo grub-install /dev/sdaXX
[03:51] <gmachine_24> sorry but without the partition # because grub is in the MBR and not on a partition
[03:51] <bobweaver> gmachine_24,  you mean    sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[03:51] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Bob had me run that right before I rebooted
[03:51] <metap0d_> bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/S2Mws0dt
[03:51] <Vbitz> alright I'm trying to ssh between 2 servers, one's at home and one's a vps with linode. both are running recent versions ubuntu. I can ssh using key auth between myself on my macbook and my vps and me and my home server but I can't even connect using password auth trying to get from my home-server to my vps
[03:51] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  he is right but it must be mounted and chrooted first
[03:51] <bobweaver> so
[03:52] <jud> Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??  Appropriate troubleshooting link anyone?
[03:52] <bobweaver> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[03:52] <metap0d_> bobweaver: OK
[03:52] <bobweaver> metap0d_,    ^^  then  then cd /mnt
[03:52] <gmachine_24> but you don't want to install it to a partition
[03:53] <metap0d_> bobweaver: OK
[03:53] <bobweaver> Metapod sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[03:53] <bobweaver> then
[03:53] <metap0d_> bobweaver: OK
[03:53] <bobweaver> chroot /mnt
[03:53] <bobweaver> then
[03:54] <bobweaver> sudo update-grub
[03:54] <bobweaver> what happens ?
[03:54] <metap0d_> bobweaver: The same error unfortunately: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[03:54] <gmachine_24> "From here, find only the drive name, ignore the partition number, that is, for partitions labeled "root", "data2", "fat", "home" and "swap" it's all still just sda. This is due to the fact that GRUB is installed in the MBR of the drive, and not on a partition."
[03:54] <bobweaver> huh gmachine_24  ^^ can help   ?
[03:55] <metap0d_> I hope so? :)
[03:55] <bobweaver> gmachine_24,     this is metap0d_   drive   http://pastebin.com/ZgwAkbxN
[03:55] <chimney> hi
[03:55] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I'd be very grateful :)
[03:56] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ if your drive is /dev/sda then at a command prompt run $sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:56] <chimney> my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz
[03:56] <jud> I there a room specific to 12.01.4?? Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
[03:56] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: DO you want me to unmount /dev/sda3 then?
[03:56] <chimney> my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz?
[03:57] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ yes
[03:57] <chimney> my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz? as boot param?
[03:57] <bobweaver> gmachine_24,  keep in mind that his 1st install did not install all the way so who knows what on sda3 and also he can not boot to windows to get a new image. from which he says that the image that he had the md5sum is in fact bad that is all I know
[03:57] <bobweaver> or gathered if that even helps
[03:57] <gmachine_24> I know. But what else is he going to do? He can't d/l a repair disk.
[03:58] <chimney> help
[03:58] <chimney> :)
[03:58] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ did we lose you?
[03:58] <bobweaver> can not partition usb either to make room
[03:58] <orlok> Has anybody here used Ubuntu in a PCI-DSS l1 compliant enviroment?
[03:58] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Kind of, I've been following linux tutorials in an ubuntu virtual machine for a few weeks so I'm picking things up here and there
[03:59] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ did you try that command after unmounting /dev/sda
[03:59] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: when I issue sudo update-grub I get: http://pastebin.com/N7g2yZ3y
[03:59] <orlok> Or, does anybody know of any Ubuntu hardening guides?
[04:00] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I don't know if I did it right but I did sudo umount /mnt
[04:00] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  you can always enter in    mount     to see what is mounted where
[04:00] <jud> Is there a channel for 12.04.1?
[04:01] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Ah I see, well looks like it's not mounted anymore
[04:01] <bobweaver> jud what is up with unity ?  I dont understand your question
[04:01] <bobweaver> I wonder if there is neboot in live cds ?
[04:02] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ what do you get when you run sudo fdisk -l
[04:02] <bobweaver> netboot *
[04:02] <chimney> hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ...
[04:02] <gmachine_24> I know you've covered this already but I missed it
[04:02] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I don't see anything in a terminal, bob had me run it to paste to pastebin and that actually had some output .. but I don't remember the command :/
[04:02] <jud> bobweaver: ran update from 9.10 to 12.04.1 but it didn't work
[04:03] <bobweaver> jud,  did you back up your home dir ?
[04:03] <gmachine_24> metap0d_   type 'pwd' without the quotes and tell me what you get
[04:03] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: /home/liveuser
[04:03] <bobweaver> liveuser ?
[04:04] <Addison> Hiya everyone!
[04:04] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ I don't mean to be dense but if you type sudo fdisk -l you get nothing?
[04:05] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Yes literally nothing, it executes and just goes to another prompt
[04:05] <jud> bobweaver: no,  I figured that if it didn't work, i'd reinstall onto a new hard drive from dvd and just access my old files that way
[04:05] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ well that's messed up.
[04:05] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: bob had some black magic before
[04:05] <Addison> Is there anyone here who has heard of Tinyfugue?
[04:05] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ such as?
[04:05] <bobweaver> jud,  you checked to make sure that your vga card mod(driver ) is loaded ?
[04:06] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: He had me run the fdisk command or a variant of it and then had some pastebin package installed, the pastebin link contained output from fdisk -l
[04:06] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I don't know why it isn't in my terminal
[04:06] <phillijw_> Is there a nice app that will allow me to remote into various machines including WinXP?
[04:06] <orlok> phillijw_: rdesktop, or vnc
[04:07] <orlok> phillijw_: that all really depends on what sort of remote service agent your WinXP is running
[04:07] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ type 'cd ..' without the quotes
[04:07] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  this can be figured out real fast install pastebinit       sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[04:07] <gmachine_24> that's cd and a space and two periods
[04:07] <phillijw_> orlok: its not running anything 3rd party
[04:07] <gmachine_24> ahhh. ok. kudos bobweaver
[04:07] <jud> bobweaver: I've only dabbled with linux and computer tech in general. I'll need to check what that is. What are the implications?
[04:07] <orlok> phillijw_: Well, maybe you should be asking, by default, what sort of remote access capabilities does Windows XP have?
[04:07] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: http://pastebin.com/9YJnX94E
[04:08] <orlok> phillijw_: as thats going to define what sort of tools you can use to conenct to it.
[04:08] <codygman> What is the mail transfer agent referred to as in update-alternatives? I see "mt"
[04:08] <bobweaver> jud,  so on distro upgrades the 3rd party stuff gets turned off so if you are running say nvidia then you might have to re-install. But can you get to a command prompt
[04:08] <codygman> well mt is magnetic tape driver operation so not that lol
[04:09] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  that is not from the correct pastebin ;)
[04:09] <codygman> Does ubuntu have a MTA installed by default?
[04:09] <metap0d_> bobweaver: Sorry?
[04:09] <jud> bobweaver: can't get there but I pulled the system drive out, put a fresh one in, reinstalled as i thought i might have to....same problem
[04:10] <metap0d_> oh
[04:10] <metap0d_> oops
[04:10] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  I mean that you did not enter the commands that I asked
[04:10] <metap0d_> bobweaver: I entered sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[04:10] <Addison> I really could use just a little bit of help if anyone here is familiar with Tinyfugue.
[04:10] <bobweaver> jud,  how far does it boot up till lightdm (login )
[04:10] <bobweaver> ?
[04:11] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ Windows 95? Really?
[04:11] <uabn93>   /disconnect
[04:11] <uabn93> sorry
[04:11] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Where do you see that? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate
[04:11] <bobweaver> metap0d_,  when I enter that in I get this      http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341693/
[04:11] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: that's my flash stick, which formatted as FAT32
[04:11] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ on /dev/sdb
[04:12] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ from the pastebin
[04:12] <jud> bobweaver: it lets me log in but then i can only move the mouse around and as i do this, pixelated cubes appear and lie in the path of the mouse
[04:12] <metap0d_> gmachine_24, bobweaver
[04:12] <metap0d_> http://pastebin.com/KEEw3Zzb
[04:12] <metap0d_> oops
[04:13] <bobweaver> jud,  when you get to the lightdm menu can you press ctrl+alt+f1   and log in to prompt ?
[04:13] <bobweaver> shell prompt *
[04:14] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ when you boot from your hard drive and you get the splash menu with ubuntu and memtest did you try to enter the ubuntu recovery mode?
[04:14] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Yeah, a few times ... it seems to through the boot process fine but when it hits the login manager I get a massive list of missing files and then my machine reboots
[04:14] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ the two pastebins are identical
[04:15] <jud> bobweaver: i'm not at that machine right at the minute...could that be a way in do you think?
[04:15] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ well I'm guessing you're screwed.
[04:15] <iFlip> I know this is off topic for this room but I can't find any channels that have anyone talking about this topic. For me, this is probably the nearest...
[04:15] <iFlip> Does anyone know about SickBeard?
[04:16] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Is there no way at grub to specify an existent but not listed partition to boot into? : (
[04:16] <iFlip> Was wondering if anyone knew of a related program to SickBeard that takes movie queries
[04:16] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ you must have access to another computer.
[04:16] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ your OS is missing files.
[04:16] <bobweaver> jud,  I know that it is if you can get there then install pastebinit     sudo apt-get install pastebinit        then you can show us your card   like      lspci -vnn | pastebinit
[04:16] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ upi
[04:16] <bobweaver> jud,  then you can start debuging from there
[04:16] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ you're trying to boot to an incomplete OS
[04:16] <bobweaver> jud I would also run nux test from there
[04:16] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: that's why i came in here in the first place :P
[04:16] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ or a bad install
[04:17] <escott> metap0d_, just get to the grub console and start issuing commands
[04:17] <bobweaver> jud,  /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
[04:17] <jud> bobweaver: why do you think the same would happen after a fresh install?
[04:17] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: my ubuntu install off my flash drive failed part way and messed up GRUB in the process, i've been trying to update grub to re-display my windows partition
[04:17] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ right so you need a clean CD to install from or a clean USB image/install
[04:18] <bobweaver> jud,  because Ubuntu can not ship nvidia software or what ever vga closed source it may or may not be
[04:18] <bobweaver> that is illiegal
[04:18] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: Yes but ..  is there no way to get into the perfectly fine windows partition to create that clean USB image?
[04:18] <bobweaver> and so is my spelling ;)
[04:18] <Ben64> In 12.04, how can I make updates appear in the notification area?
[04:18] <jud> bobweaver: so much to learn
[04:19] <bobweaver> Ben64,  pass it over dbus that would be guess but IDK sorry
[04:19] <escott> bobweaver, its not illegal for them to ship the nvidia drivers
[04:19] <bobweaver> escott,  +1 it is against the laws of free software ? or opensurce
[04:19] <trism> Ben64: updates as it updated packages? update manager?
[04:19] <bobweaver> source *
[04:20] <Ben64> trism: yes
[04:20] <jud> bobweaver: maybe an easier hardware solution for now?
[04:20] <trism> Ben64: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false;
[04:20] <cipherboy> Hey, does anyone have a printer similar to an HP OfficeJet J4600 which has webscan ability?
[04:20] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ from your USB device there is no choice to remove Ubuntu?
[04:21] <Ben64> trism: wow thanks!
[04:21] <Ben64> trism: didn't think it'd be so easy, I was trying all sorts of things
[04:21] <bobweaver> Ben64,  there is a tool called dconf-editor that has a list of all the stuff
[04:21] <Ben64> yeah I was looking through that
[04:22] <bobweaver> there should be search option for that tool
[04:22] <Ben64> indeed
[04:22] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ Listen, the safest thing to do is to reinstall Windows from the back up I know you have and then reinstall Ubuntu.
[04:22] <gmachine_24> :)
[04:23] <bobweaver> trism,  is there a way to list all dbus stuff or is it just go look in /usr/share/dbus-1/services ?
[04:23] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I actually do have a back up that's relatively recent ... but no media to re-install windows 7 from lol
[04:23] <trism> bobweaver: d-feet is pretty nice
[04:23] <bobweaver> Oo
[04:23] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ Can you reinstall from your back up?
[04:23] <bobweaver> !info d-feet > bobweaver
[04:23] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: My backups are just encrypted zip files stored on a remote ftp server
[04:23] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: : (
[04:24] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ Well, this is lesson #1.
[04:24] <jud> bobweaver: i don't know a great deal about this clearly but it would seem then that there is some permanent storage other than on the hard drive?
[04:25] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I have an old 512mb flash stick ... i've seen tiny tiny linux distributions on distrowatch, like damn small linux ... could I set one of those up from inside the live cd?
[04:25] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ If I were you I'd borrow a Windows 7 DVD from a friend and reinstall the software and then reinstall from your back up
[04:25] <bobweaver> gmachine_24,  no no no borrow a Ubuntu cd from a friend and re-install it Oo
[04:25] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ that I do not know.
[04:25] <bobweaver> :)
[04:26] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ bobweaver is correct, that would be a better choice. then if it fails you can try the Windows redo. All of  this is just a waste of time.
[04:26] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ since you don't have a full Ubuntu install
[04:27] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ and cannot access the recovery console
[04:27] <metap0d_> :(
[04:27] <Ben64> jockey-text keeps crashing and popping up an error on my notification area. how can i make it never run again, as I already have my nvidia driver
[04:27] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ Well, you know, they tell you to back things up for a reason.
[04:27] <metap0d_> there must be SOME tool I could download whilst on the live cd to either repair grub or maybe repair the MBR for windows or something
[04:28] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ STOP.  you can try supergrubdisk.org either super grub disk or rescatux
[04:28] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ but for that you need a cd burner, etc.
[04:29] <c_smith> would Ubuntu with the Cairo Dock session it sets up on install still count as Ubuntu?
[04:30] <linuxer> hello
[04:30] <c_smith> I ask this because Steam for Linux I hear is only coming for Ubuntu and not it's derivatives.
[04:30] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ we have given you the commands to restore or repair grub. they are not working. there is some damage to your partitions so that they cannot be read. If you had a Windows 7 disk you could try a repair of Windows from that (after a live boot)
[04:31] <aeon-ltd> c_smith: if it has the core of ubuntu it's ubuntu
[04:32] <aeon-ltd> c_smith: haven't you heard of the variants[xubuntu,lubuntu,etc]?
[04:32] <trism> Ben64: I believe that is started by /etc/xdg/autostart/jockey-gtk.desktop on 12.04, if you copy it to ~/.config/autostart/ and set NoDisplay=false you should be able to enable/disable it in gnome-session-properties
[04:32] <maurojas6996_> hello, i need your help
[04:32] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ this is for xp and vista but I think it must be similar for Windows 7 - but you can research it. :) http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/
[04:32] <c_smith> aeon-ltd, from what I hear those won't even get Steam
[04:32] <aeon-ltd> maurojas6996_: describe it to the chan as best you can
[04:33] <metap0d_> gmachine_24: I'm reading about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair, as a last ditch effort
[04:33] <c_smith> aeon-ltd, simply because the stuff is licensed to Canonical.
[04:33] <aeon-ltd> c_smith: if it's coming with apt then it will most likely work
[04:33] <c_smith> huh.
[04:33] <c_smith> either way, I kinda like Cairo Dock.
[04:33] <deadmund> Firefox crashes immediately when I start it.   No errors in terminal.  Works fine if I use a different firefox user profile.  What can I do?
[04:33] <aeon-ltd> c_smith: i can assume eventually someone will get the source code and port it to other package managers anyway
[04:33] <Random832> deadmund: remove the offending user profile?
[04:34] <c_smith> aeon-ltd, problem is Steam is closed-source.
[04:34] <escott> deadmund, remove your firefox profile
[04:34] <deadmund> Random832, But that's my user!  And I want it!
[04:34] <deadmund> Ugh
[04:34] <c_smith> aeon-ltd, Valve hold the source code, and afaik they aren't removing it.
[04:34] <Random832> what does it have that you want?
[04:34] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ yes, I looked at the boot-repair tool as well - but you need to burn it to a cd or usb stick
[04:34] <deadmund> good thing I have sync
[04:34] <Random832> just delete/move your .firefox directory
[04:34] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ maybe you can burn it to your other usb stick. it should be plenty small enough.
[04:34] <maurojas6996_> i installed a program, that not work, and i remove the program, the program is not in my PC, but the shortcut is in my main menu
[04:35] <aeon-ltd> c_smith: that's kinda limiting their market, even if ubuntu variants are the most popular
[04:35] <deadmund> Random832, I am aware of how to delete a profile.  firefox -P will work just as well.  Are you kidding?  All my bookmarks and saved passwords are in my profile.  I have sync though.  I was hoping to avoid deleting the profile
[04:35] <maurojas6996_> sorry i not speak a good english and the google translate is a sh**
[04:35] <c_smith> aeon-ltd, yeah, I can't say I don't question that logic, but never look a gift horse in the mouth.
[04:35] <Random832> deadmund: you might be able to transfer some of the files from the bad profile to the new one
[04:35] <bobweaver> maurojas6996_,  where are you from ?
[04:36] <deadmund> Random832, Do you know what firefox sync is?  I have it.  I'm using it.
[04:36] <maurojas6996_> i am from Venezuela
[04:36] <Random832> no i don't ... then why is it a big deal
[04:36] <bobweaver> !spainsh | maurojas6996_
[04:36] <aeon-ltd> !spanish | maurojas6996_
[04:36] <gmachine_24> metap0d_ come to think of it, I think I will do just that. I must go. Good luck to you. Don't feel bad about the back up - when Anonymous trashed the head of the IT security firm that was after them they discovered he used the same password for all his accounts - facebook, twitter, yahoo!, ... everything. A huge no-no. Peace.
[04:36] <bobweaver> !es | maurojas6996_
[04:37] <deadmund> Random832, It's not.  Except that the firefox sync key is on a flash drive on the other side of town.  I was hoping to be able to get firefox working without erasing my profile only for timely convenience.  However, I have sync, so I can delete it safely.  I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get into my normal profile again.
[04:37] <maurojas6996_> sorry, but nobody in Ubuntu-es
[04:37] <deadmund> Random832, makes sense?
[04:37] <maurojas6996_> but I understand english, that i can not to talk good
[04:37] <chimney> hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ...
[04:38] <bobweaver> maurojas6996_,  /usr/share/applicaions/name_of_program.desktop    is it there ?
[04:38] <chimney> my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz?
[04:39] <bobweaver> maurojas6996_,  /usr/share/applications/name_of_program.desktop    is it there ?  my spelling was bad on last one
[04:39] <escott> chimney, you can find the cpu freq governors in /sys these days
[04:39] <jud> bobweaver: so, if i change the graphics card, will it let me do a fresh install that will work do you think?
[04:39] <chimney> escott: it freezes while installation -.0
[04:39] <chimney> -.-
[04:40] <maurojas6996_> no, the file is not be in this directory
[04:40] <maurojas6996_> but the file is in menu://applications/DesktopSettings
[04:40] <bobweaver> jud,  I can not tell you what it can or cant do with out knowing the computers perpetuals
[04:40] <maurojas6996_> and is impossible to erase
[04:40] <bobweaver> like vga and ram and cpu ect
[04:41] <chimney> escott: its running fine with opensuse12.1 but opensuse is kind of pita
[04:42] <bobweaver> impossible to erase  what does that mean ? like you do not have permissions maurojas6996_   ?
[04:42] <jud> bobweaver: and if i just hit f1 or something while it's booting i can get that info there?
[04:42] <bobweaver> jud,  at login menu press ctrl+alt+f1
[04:43] <maurojas6996_> yes I have permissions, but the error that this show is: : The specified location is not supported
[04:43] <bobweaver> what is this app maurojas6996_ ?
[04:43] <escott> chimney, look under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq
[04:44] <maurojas6996_> driconf
[04:44] <chimney> without the system on the disk?
[04:44] <jud> bobweaver: and then?
[04:44] <bobweaver> maurojas6996_,  this is a applet ?
[04:45] <chimney> escott: it freezes somehow while installing
[04:45] <bobweaver> jud,  are you at that computer now ?
[04:45] <maurojas6996_> when i remove driconf, the shortcut has not removed
[04:45] <escott> chimney, right... you said when the freq was dropped below 800. so set the governor to performance
[04:46] <chimney> escott: is there a boot param?
[04:46] <maurojas6996_> driconf is an applet to control de graphical card
[04:46] <escott> chimney, check http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt
[04:46] <maurojas6996_> but no work in my PC, and I remove, but the shortcut has not removed from my main menu
[04:47] <bobweaver> maurojas6996_,  I am not a applet person sorry I am sure that others will look this over though may try to re-install then purge it ? that is just a guess
[04:47] <escott> chimney, or get yourself to a terminal fast enough to set it to performance before it drops
[04:47] <maurojas6996_> yes I try
[04:48] <maurojas6996_> thanks bobweaver :)
[04:48] <markhammel> Does anyone have exp using ubuntu's virtual box to use windows????
[04:48] <jud> bobweaver: no, but i don't have a laptop, so top get 2 computers going side by side is gonna be a nuisance. I was just trying to anticipate a couple of steps ahead so i can find out as much as possible before asking someone what to do next tomorrow. I'm currently at a different location you see.
[04:48] <markhammel> I'm having issues with my usb drives running windows threw virtualbox
[04:49] <c_smith> markhammel, without decent specs and hardware virtualization, Virtualbox is gonna be painfully slow.
[04:49] <c_smith> markhammel, that's usually because the guest additions aren't installed.
[04:49] <c_smith> markhammel, you'll want to install VIrtualbox through the repo Oracl provides.
[04:49] <markhammel> guest aditions?? what is that where do  i find them to install?
[04:49] <markhammel> so i need a diff ver of virtualbox?
[04:50] <c_smith> markhammel, affirmative.
[04:50] <markhammel> thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7
[04:50] <c_smith> markhammel, if you can wait a second, I can get a guide for installing Oracle's version of VBox.
[04:50] <chimney> escott: i just dont understand this _NO_HZ thing in there
[04:50] <c_smith> markhammel, correct,
[04:50] <chimney> ...
[04:50] <markhammel> okay that would be great csmith
[04:50] <bobweaver> ahh jud  yeah I would try to get to tty (ctrl+alt+f1)and debug from there looking at hardware level  and again you can run nux unity test /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p    you might have to go with more light weight or who knows could be bad connection. whta is computer make and model ?
[04:51] <c_smith> markhammel, http://www.itworld.com/software/304613/install-virtualbox-ubuntu-1210
[04:51] <escott> chimney, i havent messed with governors in a while so im not sure what NO_HZ is either
[04:51] <c_smith> markhammel, but make sure to remove the current Virtualbox first.
[04:51] <c_smith> otherwise some very nasty things can occur.
[04:51] <c_smith> markhammel, then you
[04:51] <chimney> escott: I'll try it with gettin a terminal fast :P
[04:52] <markhammel> just an uninstall should be good enough right?
[04:52] <chimney> escott: then in 3 hours ill ask again crying xD
[04:52] <almoxarife> markhammel: thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7 <-- why delete the guest OS?
[04:52] <c_smith> markhammel, no, use this: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
[04:52] <jud> bobweaver: ok, i'll just try what you've suggested so far, get that output if i can. The make is a chinese slap together, I'll try and be more specific tomorrow. thanks!
[04:53] <c_smith> markhammel, purge to make sure there's no configs leftover that shouldn't be.
[04:53] <markhammel> how do i purge?
[04:53] <c_smith> markhammel, then you'll want to install the Guest Additions from https://www.virtualbox.org/ after installing Oracle's VBox.
[04:53] <markhammel> i just did sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
[04:53] <c_smith> markhammel, sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
[04:54] <c_smith> markhammel, that's the purge I was talking about.
[04:54] <markhammel> oh okay i did that.
[04:54] <c_smith> and then you're good to follow the directions I linked
[04:54] <c_smith> then you'll want the latest guest additions from the site I listed.
[04:54] <chimney> bye
[04:57] <markhammel> c_smith i was on sonys chat help.. its a scheme.. they just try to lie and sell u fake products.
[04:57] <markhammel> I told them that irc was helping me more then they were and they were just giving me a run around.. LOL
[04:58] <c_smith> markhammel, I know the feeling.
[04:58] <beachandbytes> major company chat help = guy in india getting paid 2.25 an hour
[05:00] <markhammel> c smith where are the guest additions i dont se them?
[05:00] <markhammel> r they called guest additions?
[05:01] <c_smith> markhammel, let me take a look
[05:01] <c_smith> markhammel, I gave you the wrong file name, it's the VirtualBox Extension Pack you want.
[05:02] <c_smith> shows how late it is here.
[05:02] <c_smith> markhammel, also, a tip for irc, type the first few letters of a person name then pressing tab autocompletes it.
[05:03] <markhammel> ah i thought it might be that. c_smith  great tip
[05:03] <Slidesub> oh
[05:03] <c_smith> markhammel, not a prob
[05:05] <markhammel> great its loading ill see if it works now
[05:05] <c_smith> cool
[05:05] <markhammel> my terminal ended at 2% [1 virtualbox-4.2 915 kB/59.9 MB 2%]
[05:05] <markhammel> when i tried to dl the new one.. i hope its supposed to look like that.
[05:06] <c_smith> it's not.
[05:06] <c_smith> you may want to rerun the command.
[05:06] <markhammel> hmm but i have virtual box installed
[05:06] <markhammel> is it possible the old one never uninstalled correctly
[05:06] <c_smith> markhammel, apt-get purge would have made sure of that.
[05:08] <markhammel> hmm i just noticed i could see my kindle from the usb button at the bottum of virtual drive
[05:08] <markhammel> its installing the drivers  r now for it apparently.
[05:08] <c_smith> ah, that worked?
[05:08] <markhammel> i mean thats not what i neeed it to see i need it to see my iphone... but thats a good sign.
[05:08] <c_smith> cool
[05:09] <c_smith> markhammel, I take it you installed the extensions?
[05:09] <Febul> In apache2, which file contains the LogLevel?
[05:10] <markhammel> Yeah c_smith the extension installed fine.. im jsut still wondering about the 2% thing and how if it only ran 2 % am i running virtual box now effectively
[05:10] <c_smith> hmmmm..... that's not something I seen Ubuntu do.
[05:10] <markhammel> hmm its showing my iphone as an unknown device... and says installation failed.
[05:10] <sleepster> would I get better raid performance doing a software raid or a hardware raid ? my motherboard has one of those fake raid controllers
[05:10] <phunyguy_t430s_> I thought Empathy used to be able to do IRC.... did they do away with that in Ubuntu 12.10? or am I missing a package? *giggity*
[05:10] <c_smith> but it seems to work correctly
[05:11] <markhammel> maybe i should scroll up and redo the steps
[05:11] <trism> phunyguy_t430s_: account-plugin-irc, not installed by default I think
[05:11] <phunyguy_t430s_> sweet, thanks
[05:12] <c_smith> markhammel, might be a good idea
[05:13] <xxiao> install ubuntu 10.04 from a usb stick, the grub.cfg takes my first hard drive as (hd1), so after usb stick is unplugged, the system won't boot
[05:13] <xxiao> i must have the usb-stick plugged to boot the hard-drive installation???
[05:14] <phunyguy_t430s> there we are.
[05:14] <markhammel> c_smith i think its cause i had a second virtualbox running even when i tried to delete it
[05:14] <xxiao> with usb-stick it's called sda, the hard drive is sdb, and grub.cfg stays that way, sucks
[05:14] <c_smith> markhammel, might be.
[05:14] <blackness> xxiao, impossible, ive used the USB liveCD...and its never done this, except when i installed it on the wrong drive.
[05:14] <xxiao> tried grub-install --root-directory did not help
[05:14] <blackness> did you overwrite your USB stick?
[05:14] <xxiao> blackness: i know, i installed ubuntu many times too
[05:15] <markhammel> hmm when i try sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
[05:15] <markhammel> it says virtual box is not installed so not removed
[05:15] <xxiao> i used the create-startup-disk menu to create those usb sticks, as usual
[05:15] <blackness> did you select SDA instead of SDB on accident? and your system drive should be on IDE0/SATA0. why its slaved is beyond me.
[05:15] <blackness> i use usb-creator-gtk
[05:15] <xxiao> this is the first time the usb-stick will treat itself as sda while the hard drive as sdb and after the installation it needs to remain that order
[05:15] <xxiao> i.e. usb-stick plugged in all the time
[05:16] <markhammel> c_smith does this look normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341789/
[05:16] <xxiao> and it ignores usb-stick after the installation at boot time, i had to re-create the stick to boot from usb
[05:16] <xxiao> absurd
[05:16] <xxiao> not sure if it's caused by the uefi(disabled) Dell XPS 8500 machine
[05:16] <escott> xxiao, manually edit the grub.cfg to reference the correct disk
[05:16] <blackness> i'd start over. and take your time and make sure that your using the right drive.
[05:16] <xxiao> escott: tried that, grub will give strange errors
[05:17] <blackness> burn ubuntu to CD.
[05:17] <escott> xxiao, it shouldn't... what errors are you getting
[05:17] <xxiao> spent 7 hours on that
[05:17] <xxiao> grub_rescue
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> wait, UEFI errors?  Booting from USB stick?
[05:17] <blackness> and install VIA that method and it should only find your installed harddrive.
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> If so, tell the USB stick to boot Legacy, not UEFI.
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> hope that helps.
[05:17] <xxiao> the bios supports UEFI, this is some new machine from Dell, however i disabled uefi in bios
[05:18] <blackness> why did you disable it?
[05:18] <xxiao> i installed ubuntu many times, never saw this
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> xxiao, are you booting from USB stick?
[05:18] <xxiao> blackness: it's disabled by default
[05:18] <xxiao> phunyguy_t430s: yes
[05:18] <blackness> yes he is phunyguy_t430s
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> are you getting a boot menu to try Ubuntu or install it? or...?
[05:18] <xxiao> it boots fine, installed ok, however reboot mandates usb-plugged-in
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> that is my point xxiao
[05:19] <JONATHANDAWDY> hey im in trubble
[05:19] <phunyguy_t430s> i just went through this.
[05:19] <xxiao> modify grub.cfg, grub-install, update-grub, none helped
[05:19] <blackness> xxiao, re-enable it, your actual harddrive should be SDA..ive never seen a drive show up as SDB. except when i slaved drives with IDE cords.
[05:19] <JONATHANDAWDY> can i ask a really important question here quick and should be easy
[05:19] <phunyguy_t430s> xxiao, get to a boot menu where you can select boot device, then pick the USB stick as a whole, not UEFI mode
[05:19] <xxiao> phunyguy_t430s: the installation is normal, i got the try and install option, which i opted the latter
[05:19] <phunyguy_t430s> xxiao as a boot option or in the gui?
[05:20] <xxiao> phunyguy_t430s: yes
[05:20] <blackness> xxiao, reboot and hit F9 to get a boot menu.
[05:20] <escott> xxiao, where is the bootloader. can you confirm it is on the hard disk mbr
[05:20] <xxiao> blackness: tried that, hit F12 that is
[05:20] <markhammel> Okay sweet i have a good feeling about it this time around
[05:20] <phunyguy_t430s> ok well, get a boot menu, prolly f9 or f12
[05:20] <blackness> oh, mine is F9.
[05:20] <xxiao> escott: it's , i checked the advanced option during installation, it's on /dev/sda
[05:20] <phunyguy_t430s> then boot legacy mode or pick the USB device as a top level option
[05:20] <blackness> so many people helping you, im gonna let them take this :)
[05:20] <phunyguy_t430s> i JUST went through this
[05:20] <xxiao> hold on, /dev/sda should be usb-stick in this case...so it installs to usb-stick?
[05:21] <xxiao> however i don't have a sdb option
[05:21] <escott> xxiao, well sda is the usb... so if the bootloader is on the usb you certainly wont be able to boot without the usb
[05:21] <xxiao> shot
[05:21] <escott> xxiao, i would do a manual install of grub to sdb, and modify the grub.cfg to reference sda. remove the usb stick reboot and you should be good
[05:21] <JONATHANDAWDY> hey will anyone help me
[05:21] <xxiao> the partition stage at usb-boot-installation is shown the hard-drive as sda
[05:21] <JONATHANDAWDY> helloooo
[05:21] <xxiao> however after the installation it's sdb
[05:22] <JONATHANDAWDY> HELLOOO
[05:22] <JONATHANDAWDY> I NEED HELP ANYONE HEAR ME

[05:23] <phunyguy_t430s> thats what I meant
[05:23] <Random832> ...who uses those?
[05:23] <JONATHANDAWDY> lol now let me type
[05:25] <JONATHANDAWDY> i am in boot repair. im in this because i was told to use the checkdisk command in termanal and when i did FOLLOW the walktrough i rebooted and grub-rescue poped up. so i open my liveboot of boot-repair and found that it wont fix grub because it doesnt think it exsists. so in a nutshell i think that covers it
[05:26] <JONATHANDAWDY> lol lots of words
[05:26] <escott> JONATHANDAWDY, do you mean "chkdsk" which is a windows command?
[05:26] <JONATHANDAWDY> one thing is there a grub-rescue command to reconfigue the grub table
[05:27] <JONATHANDAWDY> yes
[05:27] <JONATHANDAWDY> no
[05:28] <JONATHANDAWDY> i did a sudo comman that downloaded and ran a chdisk type thing and i receved this command from an ubuntu forems moderator
[05:28] <JONATHANDAWDY> command*
[05:29] <JONATHANDAWDY> it modifed my dev/sda2 partition is what it said but grub is on dev/sda1 so idk y it effected it
[05:29] <escott> JONATHANDAWDY, before we can do much to help we would really need to know what exactly you did and what guide you were following
[05:29] <JONATHANDAWDY> um can  i open the ubuntu forems in boot repair
[05:30] <JONATHANDAWDY> i have something on here called iceweasel

[05:40] <dinger> hi
[05:41] <JONATHANDAWDY> i am serching my thread in the ubuntu forums i am required to answer a question i dont understand
[05:41] <JONATHANDAWDY> Which of these makes a word in the English language when rotated through 180 degrees? SIH ISH HIS SHI IHS
[05:42] <paulsomebody> JONATHANDAWDY: Stay on topic, please.
[05:42] <MikeS11> I used 'dd' to create an image of a full disk (/dev/sda). In hindsight, I probably should have coppied each partition seperately. My question, is there a way to somehow mount this image (containing multiple partitions) so that I may still see the data?
[05:42] <JONATHANDAWDY> I AM ON TOPIC I AM REQIRED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION TO CONTINUE SO PLEASE READ
[05:43] <paulsomebody> Hi. I am having an issue with my sound card — my external mic that is plugged into the front panel is not recognized.
[05:43] <paulsomebody> Any ideas?
[05:43] <escott> MikeS11, that is a good question
[05:43] <paulsomebody> JONATHANDAWDY: And you probably should not use Capslock either.
[05:44] <escott> MikeS11, try http://blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=934
[05:44] <MikeS11> escott: Thanks, I'll check that out.
[05:44] <JONATHANDAWDY> ubuntu frorums says you have to answer a random question to do a wide search of the data base. now the question they gave me is -----Which of these makes a word in the English language when rotated through 180 degrees? SIH ISH HIS SHI IHS----- now please paulsomebody   answer the question so i can find the answer to escott's question
[05:45] <JONATHANDAWDY> understand now?
[05:45] <ThoughtWeaver> morning all!
[05:45] <hallofick> morning!
[05:45] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: Good evening!
 do you undrstand
[05:46] <ThoughtWeaver> depends where we all are :D
[05:46] <escott> JONATHANDAWDY, we aren't here to answer captcha's for you. request a different one
[05:46] <paulsomebody> JONATHANDAWDY: I do. However, I find you extremely annoying.
[05:47] <crimsonmane> JONATHANDAWDY: SIH spells "HIS" when rotated 180 degrees
[05:47] <ThoughtWeaver> anyhoo... I need a bit of help with bind9 + dlz that is not giving me authoritative answers
[05:47] <JONATHANDAWDY> it isnt a captup but thanx for the help crimsonmane you actually care. now that thats solved i can continue
[05:48] <crimsonmane> JONATHANDAWDY: i don't actually care. i just wanna shut you up.
[05:48] <crimsonmane> you must be an entirely new breed of stupid to not have been able to figure that out
[05:48] <Random832> JONATHANDAWDY: type /nick jonathandawdy
[05:48] <Random832> i think your capital nickname might be annoying to some people
[05:49] <jonathandawdy> sorry ppl cared it was an accadent
[05:49] <Random832> so what was your issue?
[05:50] <ThoughtWeaver> i built bind 9.8.1 with dlz and all seems ok: it answers requests, but not authoritatively...
[05:50] <jonathandawdy> geez im not to happy to more but leave me alone im getting escott's answer, and random832 private massage me and il reexplain to you ok
[05:50] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: I don't have any experience with DLZ, but you have perked my curiosity... I'm looking into this.
[05:51] <ThoughtWeaver> and i really do not want to go back to zone files and restarting and drama...
[05:51] <paulsomebody> In case you were addressing me, my issue is front panel mic that is not detected by 12.10.
[05:51] <ThoughtWeaver> Mike511 you are awesome! thanks!
[05:51] <Random832> nevermind i don't have much time before i have to go to bed anyway, sorry
[05:52] <jonathandawdy> escott you still there
[05:52] <escott> jonathandawdy, next time im going to say no
[05:53] <jonathandawdy> i have your link thanxs for helping
[05:53] <jonathandawdy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080771
[05:53] <jonathandawdy> alfred is the moderator on page two is his las comment
[05:54] <ThoughtWeaver> paulsombody: not punting this as an answer, but I had something similar a few years ago and it was becasue the board had some automagic voodoo built in to 'detect' if you wanted to use the port for a mic or an extra set of speakers...
[05:54] <paulsomebody> ThoughtWeaver: I'll think about it, thanks.
[05:55] <escott> jonathandawdy, sounds like your NTFS partition was corrupted. you should boot windows and run chkdsk on that partition
[05:55] <jonathandawdy> i cant boot
[05:55] <jonathandawdy> i said i boot with grub-rescue
[05:55] <ThoughtWeaver> you are welcome
[05:55] <escott> jonathandawdy, then get a windows rescue CD
[05:56] <jonathandawdy> my windows doesnt work at all its broken. latley ubuntu has been my only boot. windows btw doesnt repair and is a diffrent matter
[05:56] <escott> jonathandawdy, you also need to be more specific in your description of problems... its really unclear. what partition is not working? you never specified?
[05:57] <paulsomebody> ThoughtWeaver: It is precisely my issue — there is a faulty audio auto-detect feature on the motherboard.
[05:57] <paulsomebody> ThoughtWeaver: Thank you for giving me a good idea.
[05:57] <ThoughtWeaver> You are most welcome! glad i could help!
[05:59] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: Hrm. Not too much info on this... I have moved to books now. I expect I'm going suddenly run into the answer and go, "d'oh".
[05:59] <escott> paulsomebody, ive also seen that as a misconfiguration of the intel HDA pin configuration
[05:59] <ThoughtWeaver> I really appreciate the help Mike511
[06:00] <paulsomebody> escott: Will keep that possibility in mind, thanks.
[06:01] <mrfgizug> what would you recommend for a partition table for ubuntu 12.04 desktop, 500 G HD, 4GRam? I would like the paritions to help me keep my data safe/separate when i upgrade my OS
[06:01] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: No problem. I saw your question and went, "What is that?". I looked it up and I then thought, "This could be useful..." :)
[06:02] <escott> mrfgizug, 10-20gb for /
[06:03] <mrfgizug> escott 4G for swap, anything for boot?
[06:04] <escott> mrfgizug, if you want a /boot or have a particular hardware need for one
[06:04] <mrfgizug> is / where everything goes, including boot?
[06:04] <gear4> it seems that a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 install from ISO/Disk fixed my problem
[06:04] <gear4> thanks anyhow
[06:04] <gear4> cheerio
[06:04] <escott> mrfgizug, yes
[06:04] <ThoughtWeaver> cool! i'll loiter for a bit whils i poke at it in the teminal
[06:06] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: What does your SOA look like (you can obfuscate the domain name if you like)?
[06:06] <mrfgizug> escott if i say... install inkscape, where does that go?
[06:06] <escott> mrfgizug, various places under /
[06:08] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: Also (and maybe more importantly), what are your NS records for the domain?
[06:09] <ThoughtWeaver> Mike511: Sorry was banking :) gimme a sec to get it
[06:09] <mrfgizug> escott im planning on doing a bunch of media (video editing, sound editing, lots of pix, at the least these will be installed, libre office, inkscape, gimp, audacity) is 20g enough for the / or would you recommend higher? (of course any output files will be in home somewhere, so i might not need much / compared to /home.) do i have the right idea or is it overkill?
[06:10] <MikeS11> ThoughtWeaver: Or if you want (put this on paste.ubuntu.com), you could throw out something like: "select * from dns_records where zone like '%domain.com%';"
[06:11] <mrfgizug> escott oh and blender

[06:14] <jonathandawdy> oh ya it is lol     * #ubuntu :You're not a channel operator
[06:14] <jonathandawdy> your rignt
[06:14] <escott> mrfgizug, i dont know off hand how much those will take up. if you are worried you could use lvm
[06:14] <aeon-ltd> apps: that varies per bluetooth module (the wiki has more). but i think ubuntu has bluez installed stock
[06:16] <the_dark_knight> Hi, I have 3 processes and their pids. I want to know what did each process do last time? One of these processes has run python script.py, I want to find out which one. please help
[06:17] <paulsomebody> Hooray.
[06:18] <mrfgizug> escott thanks for your suggestions. ive settled on a config for my partitions.
[06:18] <robinp> does Ubuntu 12.10 include the EFI stub loader support enabled in its kernel ?
[06:18] <escott> the_dark_knight, what does that question mean?
[06:19] <paulsomebody> In case anyone else is experiencing problems with audio or mic jacks not detected, that is a known bug and there might be a workaround available for your system. See here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232 at comment #32.
[06:19] <paulsomebody> ThoughtWeaver: Sincerely thank you for the idea, I was able to fix this.
[06:20] <ThoughtWeaver> glad i could help
[06:20] <escott> the_dark_knight, unless the parent disowns the child the child should appear in pstree under the parent. maybe that answers your question. not sure what "last time" is

[06:45] <the_dark_knight> when I do "include /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*" does it include the files from a folder say "gearman/" inside the "conf.d" ? please help.
[06:51] <rodayo_> Sorry if this is un related. But is there a way to make grub boot from a usb drive when it's at the "rescue" prompt? When I turn on my machine it goes straight to the rescue prompt and i can't access the bios menu to change the boot order...
[06:54] <somsip> rodayo_: BIOS boot order menu should come up first
[06:54] <rodayo_> somsip, i'd think so too...with a ubuntu live usb I made it will boot straight into that but with this windows 8 usb i made that's not the case
[06:55] <jonathandawdy> press f12 or f10
[06:55] <jonathandawdy> rodayo
[06:55] <somsip> rodayo_: No idea about windows 8. AIUI BIOS always boots first, but the new things with Win8, dunno
[06:55] <jonathandawdy> at boot press f12 or f10 it normally says
[06:56] <jonathandawdy> its depends on the computer manufacure
[06:56] <rodayo_> jonathandawdy, right, in mine the first screen says to press Esc for some "setup" stuff(can't quite recall) but that doesn't do anything
[06:56] <rodayo_> is it possible to do it from grub?
[06:57] <jonathandawdy> no
[06:57] <jonathandawdy> grub is after
[06:57] <jonathandawdy> but at the screen where it says pres esc for setup it may say press f10 or f12 for boot-screen
[06:58] <jonathandawdy> if it doesnt then you may have to reboot 12 times but each time press the f1-12 buton (a difrent one each time) and just keep pressing it ok
[06:58] <rodayo_> one sec, lemme give it a try
[06:58] <jonathandawdy> then when a windows popps up choose your use drive
[07:01] <rodayo_> it worked!
[07:01] <rodayo_> jonathandawdy, thanks alot!
[07:01] <jakepetroules> Hi. I'm trying to install libgl1-mesa-* packages on precise but am getting 404 errors. apt-get is saying it failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libgl1-mesa-glx_8.0.4-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb … looking on the website here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/libgl1-mesa-glx/download it seems that the URL is slightly different… how can i get these packages installed correctly?
[07:02] <zeeegis> Hello
[07:02] <aristidesfl> hi, how can I switch from a dhcp to a static configuration permanently on 12.04?
[07:02] <aristidesfl> using the cli
[07:03] <aristidesfl> my /etc/network/interfaces only has 2 lines:
[07:03] <aristidesfl> auto lo
[07:03] <aristidesfl> iface lo inet loopback
[07:03] <somsip> aristidesfl: have a look in /etc/network. The interfaces file is what you are using now. The interfaces.static file is what a static IP entry would look like. That's your starting point. Backup files before changign anything
[07:05] <aristidesfl> somsip but how com I don't have any line regarding eth0 on /etc/network/interfaces ?
[07:05] <somsip> aristidesfl: no idea. sorry
[07:05] <aristidesfl> also don't have a interfaces.static
[07:06] <somsip> aristidesfl: it looks like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143819/how-do-i-configure-my-static-dns-in-interfaces
[07:07] <aristidesfl> what I don't understand is why there is why there is an entry for lo but not eth0
[07:07] <BeiFong> what sets the home directory icons?
[07:09] <frjaalrex> Hi ther! I created new Gpt partition table using gparted. It has 2 primary partitions./dev/sda1=ntfs & /dev/sd2=ext4. I installed ubuntu using bootable usb stick created using multi system to /dev/sda2. After successful install & reboot i get NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND. please help me!
[07:10] <frjaalrex> Here is the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/UITlF.png

[07:11] <Rook> Hey, is it acceptable to ask a general *buntu package management question here?  I'm on Lubuntu, rather than Ubuntu, though.
[07:12] <Jordan_U> Rook: Yes, they all use exactly the same repositories and thus are all supported here (though there may be more people in #lubuntu who can answer certain questions).
[07:13] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U & ubottu thanks for the info. I'm doing that now
[07:13] <Rook> I'll ask and if you can help, then good, if not, we tried.
[07:15] <Rook> I added the getdeb games repository and I'm wondering if there's a way I can fix a broken dependency.  Specifically I'm trying to install vegastrike on 12.04.
[07:15] <IanWizard-Cloud> Is there any command line way to run actions like Scale (the windows preview / Super + W), and opening the Dash?  Other than simulating the keys
[07:17] <Erin> anyone here use PHP-FPM ? I installed it but its not listening on port 9000 like it says it should, verified using: sudo netstat -lnp | grep :9000
[07:18] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: You're welcome. Be sure to post the pastebin link with the RESULTS.txt.
[07:18] <frjaalrex> Jordon_U: just Doing
[07:19] <peacock> !ot
[07:20] <MikeS11> Erin: I don't know anything about it, but it sounds like a particular daemon isn't running. Try the following: service --status-all
[07:20] <sbarcteam> hi. I have external IDE disk (USB attached with an IDE->USB controller). when it mounts, by default it mounts with specific mount options. How do I tune this up to add 'acl' to that specific device ? what udev rule ?
[07:20] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U Here's the link! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341932/
[07:20] <IanWizard-Cloud> Unrelated to the above, is there an ubuntu dev channel?
[07:21] <Erin> MikeS11,  [ + ]  php5-fpm
[07:21] <Erin> MikeS11, php5-fpm also says its running through its own daemon. but its clearly not listening on port 9000 :-\
[07:22] <sbarcteam> I don't want to add it to /etc/fstab. It is a removable device. I think.
[07:22] <IanWizard-Cloud> sbarcteam: you can add it by uuid (to fstab)
[07:23] <MikeS11> sbarcteam: Might be a little complex but..... http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[07:23] <sbarcteam> IanWizard-Cloud: you mean by partition's uuid ?
[07:24] <IanWizard-Cloud> sbarcteam: yes.
[07:24] <MikeS11> Erin: Within your php5-fpm config file you can specify the "listen_address" which includes the port. Check you config and see what it is set for.
[07:29] <IanWizard-Cloud> Unity dev rather.
[07:29] <Erin> MikeS11, in this file ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341940/ /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini ?
[07:30] <amng> why df output ,avail+used != size ; difference between them is also on Gigabytes.
[07:31] <MikeS11> Erin: No, there should be a php-fpm.conf file. See the php-fpm wiki: http://php-fpm.org/wiki/Configuration_File
[07:31] <somethinginteres> how can I check if I have the newest NVIDIA beta drivers installed? What version number should the new ones be?
[07:32] <Erin> MikeS11, i can't seem to file, any clue to where it is located? localhost:9000 is supposed to be the "default" setup ....
[07:32] <MikeS11> somethinginteres: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[07:33] <Erin> MikeS11, seem to find that file that is .
[07:33] <MikeS11> somethinginteres: You can check for what version you are running with the following: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[07:34] <Erin> MikeS11, ahh I found it, had a typo ;-p
[07:34] <MikeS11> Erin: Right on! Out of curiousity, where was it? Also, what port does it say you are supposed to be using?
[07:35] <somethinginteres> Mike511: thanks looks like I am not running the one released a few days ago. says  304.48 is my version.
[07:35] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U ubottu http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341932/
[07:36] <Synt> is there an easy way to check if my ubuntu has blocked an ip?
[07:36] <Erin> MikeS11, that file had no line "listen_address"
[07:37] <blackness> Synt, are you running a firewall?
[07:37] <Synt> not that i know of
[07:37] <Erin> MikeS11, i added listen_address = 127.0.0.1:9000 to the file, reloaded the daemon but still its not listening..
[07:38] <Synt> atleast i havent installed one by choice on teh ubuntu
[07:38] <Synt> it's the 10.4 LTS version of ubuntu
[07:39] <jonathandawdy> isnt 127.0.0.1:9000  LOOP PORT
[07:39] <Synt> somehow i can't ping it or login to the ftp from a company ip but from my home computer i can access it fine
[07:39] <Erin> MikeS11, it appears according to the log file I have the wrong syntax for listen_address
[07:39] <Synt> and from the company ip i can access other ftp servers fine
[07:39] <jonathandawdy> one sec synt let me check something
[07:40] <ahmed_> hi
[07:41] <Erin> MikeS11, hrm im not sure what format to use? [08-Nov-2012 02:36:12] ERROR: [/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf:26] unknown entry 'listen_address'
[07:42] <MikeS11> Erin: I believe something like this -> listen_address = 127.0.0.1:9000
[07:42] <Erin> MikeS11, tried that, no dice.
[07:43] <greenit> hi, i have netbook with an intel atom and an intel 945gse graphics card, and i want to play a video, but it is in slow-motion... can i fix this anyhow?
[07:44] <Synt> Erin on that file it should only be "listen = 127.0.0.1:9000"
[07:44] <jalexandru_> hi, where should the hg clone code go when using mercurial? in cgi-bin directory? or in the repos directory? thank you
[07:45] <Erin> Synt, just tried that too a minute ago still doesn't like it, is it under [global] section ?
[07:46] <MikeS11> Erin: Looking at examples, it looks like Synt may be correct. But that is weird that their homepage wiki says listen_address. :/
[07:46] <Synt> might need to comment out "listen = /run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock"
[07:46] <Erin> well its not spitting out errors now
[07:47] <Erin> but its still not listening
[07:48] <Erin> Synt, I dont have that line
[07:48] <Synt> hmm
[07:48] <Synt> not sure then.
[07:49] <Synt> jonathandawdy still here?
[07:49] <MikeS11> http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php It looks like you need to put the listen entry under a "pool" directive (ie. not global).
[07:49] <Erin> MikeS11, ahh
[07:50] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: Do you have UEFI firmware?
[07:50] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U No. BIOS
[07:52] <MikeS11> Erin: *fingers crossed*
[07:52] <Erin> MikeS11, so like this ? [pool]
[07:52] <Erin> listen = 127:0.0.1:9000
[07:52] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: Using fdisk, mark the EFI protective partition as "active". (If this works then you have a buggy BIOS).
[07:52] <Trudko> Hi guys, I am thiking about installing some kind of linux on virtual machine under my windows. The reason is I want to learn basics of linux, because I am java develeoper and eventhough I develop on windows it might happen in future that I will have to deploy on linux machine
[07:53] <Trudko> Can you give some tip which distro of linux is used for such purposes does it matter on which distro I am learning?
[07:53] <MikeS11> Erin: listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
[07:53] <Trudko> ofc I would probably get some without UI
[07:53] <MikeS11> Erin: (proably a typo)
[07:53] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: Note that fdisk will complain since it's GPT, Since you're not actually changing partitions though it's safe.
[07:53] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U How do i know which one is EFI protective partition?
[07:53] <Synt> Erin check this example https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug_id=62886&patch=php-fpm.conf&revision=latest
[07:55] <Erin> [08-Nov-2012 02:54:48] ALERT: [pool pool] user has not been defined

[07:55] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: It's the only one there :)
[07:55] <MikeS11> Erin: Check out the example Synt gave - it looks to have a good Pool definition sample.
[07:56] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U Could you please give me direct command!
[07:57] <Erin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341968/
[07:57] <Erin>  is what i've got now
[07:58] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: Run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output.
[07:58] <Synt> if you check the example i posted a pool needs a user and group and other stuff =)
[07:58] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U Doing that
[07:58] <Erin> Synt, k
[08:00] <g00053> hello!
[08:00] <MikeS11> Erin: Good luck!
[08:01] <gajewski> hi, could anyone help? i've just updated ubuntu 12.10 through some popup window - and after reboot i've lost my wifi. is there some package like fedora's kmod-wl i should reinstall? or problem is somewhere else?
[08:01] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341974/
[08:02] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: 'a' then Enter, then '1' and Enter. Then pastebin again.
[08:03] <Erin> hrm im a bit confused guys
[08:04] <Erin> Synt, I have user www-data group www-data and listen = 127:0.0.0.1 isn't that correct
[08:04] <qouzi> Hey guys, i've been sitting on windows whole my life, yesterday i "migrated" to ubuntu:)! how do i install utorrent?.. need learn ubuntu feels like im in space ^
[08:05] <BeiFong> ubuntu doesn't have utorrent becuse it's evil
[08:05] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341983/
[08:06] <qouzi> what do you mean?
[08:06] <BeiFong> I mean µtorrent is evil.
[08:06] <alpi> why BeiFong
[08:07] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: 'p' then pastebin.
[08:07] <Synt> qouzi there is no linux port for utorrent to my knowledge.
[08:07] <BeiFong> why is it's mu and not just u for µ. can I change the compose sequences?
[08:07] <alpi> what is neopomuk backup?
[08:08] <qouzi> so what pogram do you guys use to handle .torrent files?
[08:08] <Kartagis> qouzi: use transmission
[08:08] <Synt> http://www.transmissionbt.com/
[08:09] <qouzi> thanks guys!
[08:09] <mafiaboy> quozi: or you can use qbittorent ....best  torrent client i have seen
[08:09] <qouzi> hmm
[08:09] <qouzi> ill try transmission and see how it goes but thanks!
[08:09] <rd4> #vim
[08:09] <BeiFong> qtorrent tries to copy µtorrent so you would be right at home.
[08:09] <mafiaboy> sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
[08:09] <Flynsarmy> how do i gzip a file without overwriting the original? gzip myfile.txt changes it to myfile.txt.gz
[08:10] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341989/
[08:10] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: 'w' and you're done.
[08:11] <BeiFong> Flynsarmy, I think it's tar -czf gnutar.tar file file file.
[08:11] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U Rebooting now. thanks for your help. it means so much
[08:12] <Erin> YAY
[08:12] <Jordan_U> frjaalrex: You're welcome.
[08:12] <Erin> Synt, so I think its running now? x@Media:/etc/php5/fpm$ sudo netstat -lnp | grep :9000

[08:13] <dathui> i'm writing a script and i want to add a couple of jobs to my crontab. manually i added them using crontab -e, but how should i do in my script?
[08:14] <Synt> Erin seems to be working yes
[08:15] <iceroot> dathui: why not using /etc/cron.d/ directly and put there single files for each job?
[08:15] <Erin> Synt, and YAY now my nginx/php works thx for the help buddy
[08:15] <Erin> Synt, fyi I also needed the allowed_clients portion I believe.
[08:15] <maum> I got this error : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'

[08:16] <maum> how can I solve this problem
[08:16] <iceroot> maum: we cant guess what your script looks like
[08:16] <iceroot> maum: also see #bash
[08:16] <maum> the command was ./a&;./b&
[08:17] <yud1z> afternoon people
[08:17] <BeiFong> it's so small. what does it do?
[08:17] <iceroot> maum: ./a & ./b &

[08:18] <maum> iceroot: thanks it works
[08:18] <Synt> hmm i can't find anything in iptables blocking my companyip
[08:18] <cornihilio> excuse me, how do I fix this error?: * Missing C library: pcre
[08:19] <qouzi> guys, when i start the computer i hit " ctrl + alt +t to get terminal up, then i run xchat to come here. Now i have qbittorrent installed, but all this will end with i got many terminals up.. couse when i close the terminal the pogram goes as well.. can i merge this ?
[08:19] <cornihilio> I tried searching the ubuntu packages but nothing seemed like it was obviously that lib, and apt-get install pcre didn't do anything
[08:19] <iceroot> qouzi: use screen
[08:19] <iceroot> !screen | qouzi
[08:20] <iceroot> qouzi: screen will be holding your porgram so it will not die when you close the terminal
[08:20] <st0ne> hey gysss

[08:21] <the_dark_knight> hi I have one problem, I am python's logging lib. I have a config file - config.cnf http://www.bpaste.net/raw/U17aUpYboXCfxB7anhij/ . My code snippet where I am getting error is http://www.bpaste.net/raw/grnGkEKe8cBwBvrGHjbK/ . I am getting an error saying " ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'log' " please help. I am lost
[08:22] <iceroot> the_dark_knight: #python
[08:22] <st0ne> he
[08:22] <dathui> iceroot: aha, so if i add the lines in a file there it should be the same thing as adding them to the file i get when running crontab -e?
[08:22] <iceroot> dathui: no, when using /etc/cron.d/ you have also to specify a user
[08:22] <iceroot> dathui: * * * * * username /bin/command
[08:23] <iceroot> dathui: also you have to put PATH in the file if you dont want to write /bin/ping instead of ping  for example
[08:23] <emissar> hi all
[08:23] <iceroot> dathui: you can copy the PATH line which is shown when using crontab -e
[08:23] <dathui> iceroot: aha, thanks
[08:24] <iceroot> dathui: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/shell-scripting/threads/166819/how-do-i-edit-crontab-using-a-script#
[08:25] <iceroot> dathui: maybe that is usefull too but i prefer /etc/cron.d/ instead
[08:26] <dathui> iceroot: thanks, i'll look into both. so far it seems like cron.d is a cleaner solution...
[08:27] <Synt> is there any file containing a list of blocked ip:s for ubuntu?
[08:27] <Erin> k so I installed ngix/php/mysql got them all to play nice. now I just need to learn how to code PHP!
[08:28] <iceroot> Synt: /etc/hosts.deny
[08:28] <iceroot> Erin: #php :)
[08:29] <Synt> damn, it's empty
[08:29] <iceroot> Synt: then have a look at iptables/ufw
[08:29] <iceroot> !ufw | Synt
[08:29] <Synt> then i'm all out of ideas why i can't access the server from the company ip
[08:30] <Synt> yea can't find it blocked in iptables and ufw either
[08:31] <iceroot> Synt: by default nothing is blocked in ubuntu, so if you did not set up iptables rules i guess the network is missconfigured
[08:31] <iceroot> Synt: are they in the same network? if not, if a route is available?
[08:31] <cihhan> Hi all! Can I learn the amount of disk operations (in MB/GB) of the instances from xentop? It gives information about the requests and the sectors, but I couldn't find how I can learn the total amount of data.
[08:31] <frjaalrex> Jordan_U that worked! :) Thanks a lot. May i know what was the prob ?
[08:31] <Synt> it's a public ip for the ubuntu
[08:31] <Synt> run off esxi
[08:31] <Synt> i can access it from my home computer
[08:32] <Synt> i can't access it from my company's ip tho
[08:32] <iceroot> Synt: maybe your company has a firewall?
[08:32] <Synt> i can access other ftps just fine and ping other computers fine
[08:32] <Synt> yes we have a cisco asa 5505
[08:33] <iceroot> Synt: try "nmap -p port hostname" to reach the machine, if it will say "filtered" its a firewall
[08:33] <Synt> but it's not blocking ftp or icmp
[08:33] <Synt> from the ubuntu?
[08:33] <iceroot> Synt: from the machine you are trying to reach the server
[08:34] <Synt> the machine trying to reach the server is not linux tho
[08:34] <iceroot> Synt: also remember ftps is using a different port then ftp
[08:34] <Seymour> Hi, ich suche ein Programm, mit dem ich diese Notizzettel in PDFs einfügen kann

[08:46] <iceroot> Synt: somewhere between client and server
[08:46] <dougbb> this is on 12.10
[08:46] <Synt> does pure ftpd have the ability to ban ip's?
[08:47] <iceroot> Synt: maybe a traceroute will show you the machine which is blocking
[08:47] <iceroot> Synt: everything can ban ips
[08:47] <Goauld> darmok and jalad at tanagra
[08:47] <iceroot> Synt: e.g. by using /etc/hosts.deny or failtoban
[08:47] <Synt> failtoban?
[08:48] <iceroot> Synt: failtoban will block a ip when there are to many failing logins from that machine
[08:48] <iceroot> Synt: fail2ban is imo the correct name
[08:48] <Goauld> f2b is good
[08:49] <Synt> since it's possible some employees tried wrong password to the ftp server several times
[08:49] <fransteven38> hello
[08:49] <fransteven38> newbie here
[08:49] <fransteven38> just want to know how can i access or go to /opt?
[08:50] <angs> I installed eclipse on command line, when I remove it there are still eclipse files on ubuntu (12.04). is there any way to remove all eclipse related files?
[08:50] <Goauld> fransteven38, : you have to convert yourself to binary code, then you can enter into your machine and stay in /opt
[08:51] <jaaso_> What is name of ubuntu theme engine for gtk 2 apps ?
[08:51] <fransteven38> i am trying to install utorrent and i am following the instruction online however after i type sudo cp ~/Downloads/utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.tar.gz  /opt/
[08:51] <iceroot> fransteven38: cd /opt
[08:52] <iceroot> fransteven38: please try to install software from the repos instead
[08:52] <fransteven38> thank you sir....
[08:52] <auronandace> fransteven38: 10.10 is no longer supported, also what is wrong with other torrent clients?
[08:52] <Synt> crap
[08:52] <Synt> fail2ban is not installed
[08:52] <fransteven38> that's the one i got from the link i am reading
[08:52] <iceroot> fransteven38: you just want a torrent client?
[08:53] <fransteven38> yes.. but if you could give a better one, i would really appreciate it
[08:53] <auronandace> fransteven38: why not use transmission?
[08:53] <iceroot> fransteven38: transmission
[08:53] <A[D]minS> i really hare network-manager , it confuse me :(
[08:53] <iceroot> fransteven38: should be installed y default
[08:53] <Goauld> install ctorrent
[08:53] <fransteven38> i am really dumb with ubuntu i am still a newbie on this type of platform
[08:53] <brontosaurusrex> transmmmmmmmission
[08:54] <Goauld> ctorrent is great
[08:54] <dougbb> fransteven38: qbittorrent is a native unix client that is very similar to utorrent
[08:54] <dougbb> and qbittorrent is in the software center
[08:54] <jonathandawdy> im back and dude i need help
[08:54] <jaaso_> What is name of ubuntu theme engine for gtk 2 apps ?
[08:54] <jonathandawdy> but i forgot your name on here
[08:54] <iceroot> fransteven38: the program "transmission" should be installed by default so why not just using that?
[08:54] <A[D]minS> whenever i'm using ifdown command it just say nterface X not configured
[08:54] <A[D]minS> any idea why it behave like that?
[08:55] <fransteven38> will try transmission sir iceroot thank you very much
[08:55] <Eagleman> I am using sickbeard as the user and group sickbeard, and when sickbeard copys stuff inside my media/TV\ Series/ folder it will chown it to sickbeard. But since plex can only read the media user and group stuff, its unable to find the stuff becuase of permissions. Can i force sickbeard to place it as another user in that folder, i can do this with samba, with force group and user.
[08:55] <iceroot> fransteven38: also ubuntu 10.10 is no longer supported and will not get security updates anymore
[08:55] <iceroot> fransteven38: so we suggest to upgrade to a version which is still supported
[08:56] <pavi_> I have selected the wrong partition and deleted it in gparted , I even applied changes , but I want to recover the partition , testdisk lists out all the files, can I still get the old partition table intact? I havent rebooted yet
[08:56] <tbf_> how do i permanently tell quantal to __not__ try GiB ethernet? well, or where should i put this command: "ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100"
[08:59] <Synt> i'm still scratching my head on this. the logs in the company firewall shows the outgoing connection but get SYN timeout waiting for the reply
[08:59] <idefix> how come there is no such thing as a minimize all button in my os?
[08:59] <angs> I installed eclipse on command line, when I remove it there are still eclipse files on ubuntu (12.04). is there any way to remove all eclipse related files?
[08:59] <idefix> in my.. in linux ubuntu that is..
[08:59] <fransteven38> thanks for the info iceroot
[09:00] <iceroot> idefix: there is but not enabled by default (can be enabled with myunity) or for other desktops just win + d
[09:01] <idefix> iceroot win + d? you mean the windows button next to my alt button?
[09:01] <belgianguy> is there a dedicated tool to wipe/bleach a HDD before getting rid of it?
[09:01] <iceroot> idefix: yes
[09:01] <iceroot> belgianguy: dd
[09:01] <bmw> irc://irc.italian-amici.org/aavalon.regno-delle-anime
[09:01] <A[D]minS> ok i knew it , with ubuntu use "ifconfig interface up/down" instead of "ifup/ifdown interface"
[09:01] <belgianguy> iceroot: thanks, I'll take a look
[09:02] <Touhou11> belgianguy: Dban
[09:02] <idefix> iceroot win + d or d just scrolls through stuff in a program like tab sort of
[09:02] <A[D]minS> !Network Interface alias
[09:02] <Pinchiukas> Are there problems with ubuntu mirrors at the moment?
[09:02] <A[D]minS> ubottu common you are :P
[09:02] <iceroot> belgianguy: DANGER this command will clean the complete hdd, sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX   where X is your drive letter
[09:02] <Touhou11> Touhou11: You can get Dban on bootable CDs, and it securely wipes your hard drive
[09:02] <A[D]minS> i love that bot
[09:02] <A[D]minS> !Network-manager
[09:03] <idefix> tell iceroot and when I click on my desktop and press win d i get a small window with a d in it
[09:03] <the_dark_knight> hi I can cd into a dir and run python program.py, but why can't I run python <dir>/program.py . please help. also there is no channel #python, when I talk into #python-unregistered , it says " Cannot send ot channel " error.
[09:04] <belgianguy> ah, thx iceroot, I'll be careful, and I'll check out Dban as well (thanks Touhou11 )
[09:04] <Touhou11> the_dark_knight: You have to register your nickname on IRC before you can talk on #python
[09:04] <gordonjcp> the_dark_knight: firstly, you need to register your nick with nickserv
[09:04] <Synt> hmm there must be something on the ubuntu blocking my company ip
[09:04] <gordonjcp> the_dark_knight: secondly, you *should* be able to do python dir/thing.py
[09:05] <gordonjcp> the_dark_knight: pastebin the command line and the error you get, verbatim
[09:05] <Pinchiukas> Anyone can check the mirror http://lt.archive.ubuntu.com ? Gives me GPG errors.
[09:05] <gordonjcp> Synt: What exactly are you trying to do?
[09:07] <iceroot> idefix: win +d is only working when not using unity as i said :)

[09:11] <cookie-monster> Hey guys, has shotwell stopped support for facebook in Ubuntu? In 12.04 LTS I can't see anything related to facebook uploads from the app itself. :\
[09:12] <dougbb> How do I fix thi serror in 12.10?  vi bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[09:12] <dougbb> bash: eval: line -978: syntax error near unexpected token `('

[09:12] <Touhou11> cookie-monster: Facebook has been deprecated
[09:13] <FloSoft> hi, one question, does somebody know a "monit" channel - or can you tell me why it doesnt start the web/http interface if I run it with "with start delay ..." ?
[09:13] <cookie-monster> Touhou11: I see, thanks
[09:13] <auronandace> !alis | FloSoft
[09:14] <FloSoft> auronandace: I already asked alis, but it doesnt find any channels regarding "monit"
[09:15] <fnurplan> what is monit?
[09:15] <FloSoft> fnurplan: a program to watch system services
[09:15] <fnurplan> Pokenon!
[09:15] <fnurplan> aha ok
[09:19] <brady> for some reason, when i first start up , my machine gets stuck with a black screen where only the mouse shows for a good 40 seconds or so
[09:19] <brady> at which point it arrives to the desktop
[09:19] <JyZyXEL> is it possible to have /var/log mounted from NFS?
[09:19] <anirudhr_> brady: which desktop? Gnome? KDE?
[09:19] <brady> unity
[09:20] <gordonjcp> JyZyXEL: probably, why?
[09:20] <brady> whatever is default to ubuntu
[09:20] <fantaghir> any idea how to access tenda.cn router to change defaults via command prompt? not via browser. to deny access with defaults?
[09:20] <JyZyXEL> gordonjcp: space is very limited
[09:21] <iceroot> JyZyXEL: i would not recommend to put /var/log/ on nfs
[09:21] <JyZyXEL> there are issues?
[09:21] <iceroot> JyZyXEL: it will be availbe to late and services may fail
[09:21] <JyZyXEL> yeah i figured that might be a problem
[09:22] <iceroot> JyZyXEL: and also nfs is doing a lot of locking that may be an performance issue to when it its mounted on nfs
[09:24] <iceroot> JyZyXEL: maybe logrotate is a good way to reduce the filesize in /var/log/
[09:25] <JyZyXEL> yeah i gotta figure out something better
[09:26] <dougbb> so no takers on my bash completion issue?
[09:27] <TheLordOfTime> dougbb:  have a LOT of patience man
[09:27] <TheLordOfTime> this is one of the low-traffic hours here, so...
[09:27] <CQ> hello, what's teh best way to run a full remote display? i.e. have a server running (k)ubuntu and be able to work on another machine in fullscreen with virtual desktops etc.?
[09:28] <dougbb> timedude, yeah, I get that
[09:28] <KoalaYeung> CQ: vnc?
[09:28] <auronandace> dougbb: tried in #bash ?
[09:28] <fredriksk> It's time to buy notebooks to the kids. I'm trying to keep the cost down to appr $300 each. I still want the kids to be able to play some games on it. Does someone have experience of ASUS EEE PC 1015BX that carrys a Radeon HD 6250? Can it be used for some gaming?
[09:29] <dougbb> auronandace: it started after the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10
[09:29] <dougbb> and that code definitely isn't in any of my stuff
[09:29] <BeiFong> !ot > fredriksk
[09:29] <Guest15784> fredriksk, I m using eee1005HA and I am able to play GTA Vice city
[09:30] <Touhou11> fredriksk: Nethack will run on any setup, and is a superb game
[09:30] <cjs> I did an install of a server from the Ubuntu alternate install disc with two mds: /boot and LVM container, and a root and swap inside the LVM container. However, when I try to boot that disk, it just hangs with a blank screen (apparently before or around the very start of grub). Any thoughts on what's wrong?
[09:30] <BeiFong> !ot > guest15784
[09:31] <Jordan_U> dougbb: Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug bash-completion".
[09:31] <fredriksk> Guest15784, That was a good review. I guess the kids will be happy with it then :-)
[09:31] <Touhou11> Um... not sure Vice City is appropriate for kids however
[09:31] <Touhou11> Unless you want them beating up prostitutes for a refund
[09:31] <ryoqun> Hi, I can't remember the exact name of a command line tool. It's used for admins. It shows how ext3 or ext4 fses are accessing to the underlying block device while accessing files.
[09:32] <Seymour> Touhou11, always a good skill to have...
[09:32] <Seymour> ;-)
[09:32] <TheLordOfTime> !offtopic | Touhou11 fredriksk Seymour
[09:32] <dougbb> Jordan_U: I can do that if I need to ... will probably try again during the day just to see if someone has fixed it already :)
[09:32] <Touhou11> !offtopic | TheLordOfTime
[09:32] <cjs> ryoqun: Do you mean iostat?
[09:33] <Jordan_U> dougbb: I would appreciate it if you would file a bug report even if you do get it working. If nobody files a bug report, then the bug probably won't get fixed.
[09:33] <ryoqun> cjs: nope.
[09:33] <cjs> ryoqun: Can you explain more precisely what this tool shows you?
[09:33] <dougbb> Jordan_U: yeah, if it's a bug I will file a report, it won't be my first :)
[09:33] <ryoqun> its name was like dumpblk or like that.
[09:34] <cjs> ryoqun: Is this something that shows you statistics about operations in progress, or something about the (static) configuration of your system?
[09:34] <ryoqun> cjs: iirc, it's run like strace, and after executing it shows list of detailed io requests.
[09:35] <ryoqun> cjs: the former
[09:35] <cjs> Ah, basically an strace for IO on a disk. I've never heard of it, but I'm quite curious to find out what it is.
[09:35] <ryoqun> yeah.
[09:35] <cjs> ryoqun: Oh, wait, this isn't the one used for optimizing bootup speed, is it?
[09:36] <ryoqun> I didn't know that upto recently. I somehow lost a bookmark for it ;)
[09:36] <lahla> Hi
[09:36] <cjs> The one that produces a list of all blocks that were accessed, so that you can then warm you disk cache more quickly (for rotating disks) by reading the blocks in block number order?
[09:36] <ryoqun> cjs: do you mean ureadahead? that's not..
[09:37] <cjs> ryoqun: Yeah, ureadahead was what I was thinking of.
[09:37] <lahla> how is it possible to patch the vlcplayer in ubuntu?
[09:37] <ryoqun> ryoqun: I'm trying to remember yet another tool
[09:38] <ryoqun> ops, cjs: ^^
[09:39] <ryoqun> cjs: anyway, thanks for helping!
[09:41] <TheLordOfTime> lahla:  what're you needing to patch in it?
[09:43] <ryoqun> cjs: Hehe I remembered the name of the tool: blktrace. (and the bookmarked page was http://tech.voyagegroup.com/archives/479543.html)
[09:43] <cjs> ryoqun: Thanks!
[09:43] <Goauld> heh dr. who
[09:43] <ryoqun> noop.
[09:44] <altobar_> hello, need help on 10.04 (not 12.x) to know the name of my screen, anyone can ?
[09:45] <BeiFong> it's in $DISPLAY
[09:46] <Touhou11> lahla: To apply a patch you need to download the source code for the relevant release of VLC, apply the patch to the source code, and then compile it
[09:46] <cjs> Gagh! usb-creator-gtk is core dumping on me again.
[09:46] <Erin> any1 here ever use php my admin ?
[09:47] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  i've used it before, but i don't deploy it normally.  why?
[09:47] <auronandace> Erin: there is also #ubuntu-server
[09:48] <Erin> just because im not understanding why when I copy the config to the top level dir like it says w/ ssl enabled then I can't get in via https or http...
[09:48] <Erin> but non ssl works
[09:48] <Erin> I have php5-crypt installed..
[09:48] <Kaco> morning
[09:49] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  the web server has to be configured to accept SSL
[09:49] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  you may want to read up on whatever web server you use's docs
[09:49] <Erin> ahhhh
[09:49] <Erin> good call didn't even think of that, I just got nginx/php/mysql up and running tonight ;-P
[09:50] <RawProduce> interesting article about the new breed of developers working on gnome & ubuntu - https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes
[09:51] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  you may want to read up on how to set up SSL in nginx.  or join #nginx and ask.
[09:51] <dougbb> oh, another question ... I just recently started using compiz with xfce, and my mozilla windows sometimes lose their decorations and need to be restarted
[09:51] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, yup a project for tomorrow, getting php to work was a small nightmare ;-P
[09:51] <dougbb> I've searched for solutions to this, and none of the ones I have found work
[09:52] <cjs> Oh, hm. So gtk-usb-creator appears to crash only on 64-bit systems when using the 12.04.1 server image (i386 or adm64).
[09:52] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  i set it up in 5 minutes.  not sure what nightmare you'd run into, though... its easy :P
[09:52] <cjs> Would there be someone around with a 64-bit 12.04 install that could confirm this for me?
[09:52] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, php5-fpm wasnt listening on default port, the guide didn't cover the steps required to make it listen
[09:53] <mobhero> hi, after given password to login my ubuntu pc, its coming back and asking the passsword again, pls help me about this.
[09:53] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  which Ubuntu are you on?
[09:53] <TheLordOfTime> which version.
[09:53] <Erin> 12.10
[09:53] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  read this: http://lordoftime.info/?p=39
[09:53] <Erin> I had to figure out the "pool" settings in the php5-fpm config file
[09:53] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  i blogged about this since i kinda helped expedite the change.
[09:53] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  if you had joined #nginx and asked, we'd have gotten that fixed quickly
[09:53] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, well its alrdy working
[09:54] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  in any case, you should read the documentation of nginx on how to configure SSL.  you'll need a *real* cert for it to work though.
[09:54] <BeiFong> Why do we use password when all it takes to break into our computer is one page on password recovery which any person could think of.
[09:54] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, kk cool. im dead tired though so it'll be tomorrow ;-)
[09:54] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  well, #nginx can help.  so can I, but good luck finding me tomorrow :P
[09:55] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, but before I go basically my issue with php was it just wasn't setup to listen on port 9000 like it was supposed to be
[09:55] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  i know.  i was the one that pioneered the change to make it listen on a UNIX socket.  all detailed in my blog.
[09:55] <Erin> TheLordOfTime, and none of the guides I found covered setting up the "pool" settings it required
[09:56] <Erin> ahh im not using a socket im using port 9000 obviously, its working just fine now.
[09:56] <TheLordOfTime> Erin:  google != your friend, the location where those guides are are not search-engined.
[09:56] <llutz> BeiFong: if your computer can be accessed by more than 1 user, recovery should be the first thing to be removed from boot-options
[09:56] <Erin> im new to all this I dont even know php (yet) lol
[09:56] <lovre> why cant i make a symbolic link pointing to a file on ntfs partition? i tried: ln -s file_on_ntfs my_link
[09:57] <Erin> lovre, prolly cause its ntfs..
[09:57] <dougbb> lovre: what error do you get?
[09:57] <dougbb> and what file system are you on when you try it?
[09:57] <lovre> dougbb: i dont get an error, the link is created, but when i open it its just empty
[09:57] <lovre> dougbb: im on ext4
[09:57] <dougbb> lovre: Ok, is the ntfs file system mounted?
[09:58] <dougbb> and did you use the full path to the file on the ntfs partition?
[09:58] <lovre> dougbb: seems to be, I can open it in Thunar and from the Terminal
[09:59] <dougbb> lovre, what does 'ls -l link' tell you about where it thinks the file is?
[09:59] <BeiFong> llutz, boot options. you mean the grub.cfg?
[10:00] <lovre> dougbb: it shows the correct path, but only relative, not apsolute, is this ok?
[10:00] <dougbb> lovre: depends on what you mean by relative
[10:00] <lovre> dougbb: it says: myLink -> target.txt
[10:00] <lovre> dougbb: doesnt say myLink -> /path/to/target.txt
[10:00] <dougbb> lovre: you need to supply the full path
[10:00] <lovre> ah
[10:00] <dougbb> how else will the ext4 fs know where the file is located?
[10:01] <dougbb> ln -s foo bar refers to a local file 'foo' in that same directory
[10:01] <lovre> dougbb: i missunderstood how ln worked, i thought since i was at the right directory in the terminal, that it would be appended automatically, which would be kind of logical
[10:02] <dougbb> lovre: it actually wouldn't be logical at all :)
[10:02] <dougbb> but learning why is part of the process of learning unix system administration
[10:02] <lovre> dougbb: well, i dont know why.. yet :D
[10:02] <dougbb> exactly
[10:03] <llutz> BeiFong: yes, like "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true" in  /etc/default/grub
[10:03] <lovre> dougbb: from my pov it seems logical because like when i rm a file, i just type a name if i am positioned correctly, no need for a full path
[10:03] <dougbb> lovre: I think you're confusing the target and the link
[10:04] <lovre> dougbb: hmm, it seems to still not work :(
[10:04] <dougbb> ... and the relative point of view of each file system
[10:05] <lovre> dougbb: sorry, i was mistaken, it works now
[10:05] <lovre> dougbb: well, im here to learn aint i :D
[10:05] <lovre> dougbb: thanks for your time
[10:07] <dougbb> np
[10:07] <dougbb> glad to help
[10:07] <Fernest> I use simple scan and can't scan a second time without closing the program. Has anyone an idea how to fix that?
[10:08] <Fernest> (if I scan a second time. nothing happens. I have to restart the program to scan again)
[10:12] <BeiFong> Fernest, have you try pushing the start a new scan buttton?
[10:12] <Fernest> in the software?
[10:12] <Fernest> BeiFong: in the sotware?
[10:13] <BeiFong> it's called start a new document.
[10:13] <Fernest> it should not be in a new document, since I have to scan the front pages first and later the back pages
[10:15] <Fernest> BeiFong: if I use "New" in SimpleScan I still can't scan. I have to close and restart the program
[10:17] <MonkeyDust> Fernest  I have that too, on an old Canon scanner, havent found a fix yet - Canon is not well supported - what make is your scanner?
[10:17] <socket> Hello, setting AllowOverride All makes apache return error 500 on every page. i edited the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file
[10:17] <brady> why is it that my sidebar sometimes does not respond?  i have it on autohide, and when i put my mouse over the left to make it appear, sometimes it just ain't happening, until i back off a few times and put it back over there
[10:17] <Fernest> MonkeyDust: Mrother MC-5890CN
[10:17] <TradeFortress> Do you use Ubuntu on your nexus 7?
[10:17] <TradeFortress> I'd like to know how godo the experience is
[10:18] <andybrine> Morning Guys
[10:19] <andybrine> just wondering if anyone has had any trouble playing vimeo videos on ubuntu?
[10:19] <MonkeyDust> Fernest  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersBrother
[10:19] <andybrine> strange but i cant play any vimeo video on any browser :s
[10:20] <TradeFortress> andybrine: flash player?
[10:20] <TradeFortress> try reinstalling
[10:20] <TradeFortress> it's 97% a flash player issue
[10:21] <Fernest> MonkeyDust: But isnt it more of a software bug? Scanning it the first time works like a charm. Scanning more does not work.
[10:21] <andybrine> the flash player is working fine, it only seems to be one video now
[10:21] <andybrine> not sure what that was
[10:21] <andybrine> the video I want to watch though just wont play :s
[10:22] <Troy^> my dns seems to be messed up
[10:22] <Goauld> deanna yeah sad
[10:23] <BeiFong> llutz, can I just delete a some lines from /etc/default/grub? they don't have default values if they aren't present do they?
[10:23] <BeiFong> this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 doesn't say much
[10:24] <MonkeyDust> Fernest  sounds odd, maybe try xsane, it's more advanced
[10:24] <TradeFortress> having an issue sshing into terminal
[10:25] <TradeFortress> input doesn't appear
[10:25] <TradeFortress> until I press enter
[10:26] <BeiFong> if ssh is like telnet you need to switch it to character mode
[10:29] <TradeFortress> okay so after calling Python (which exits with error message) no characters appear after typing
[10:29] <dina_> hi
[10:30] <dina_> i was using pdf yesterday before installing update
[10:30] <dina_> afterwards I was unable to view pdf file
[10:30] <dina_> s
[10:30] <llutz> BeiFong: i guess you can, but why?
[10:30] <dina_> I was always asked to choose a program
[10:30] <dina_> what has happened
[10:30] <dina_> also ubuntu refuses to install new update
[10:30] <dina_> s
[10:32] <Fernest> MonkeyDust: Thx! Xsane seems to work better. Although it does not scan the first few millimeters of a page, which might be the hardware.
[10:33] <BeiFong> llutz, I'm not assured. If I have only the variables that are on or mean something it would make it clear.
[10:35] <BeiFong> llutz, these are confusing http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342234/
[10:36] <llutz> BeiFong: then removing those comments should be fine. they are just a help for some situations, usefull since grub2 is poorly documented
[10:37] <BeiFong> llutz, I meant delete the whole entries not comment or uncomment.

[10:38] <alumno> kj
[10:38] <llutz> BeiFong: ".. then removing those commented lines should be fine..."  i meant
[10:38] <llutz> BeiFong: so we meant the same thing ;)
[10:39] <cjs> Has anyone here done an install of 12.04 server using md RAID1?
[10:39] <alumno> hola jason
[10:39] <alumno_> solito
[10:39] <alumno_> solito
[10:40] <Okcf> it is trying to list partitions of /dev/sdb which is the removable usb cdrom and I cannot choose /dev/sda which is my hdd
[10:40] <Okcf> anyone had this problem?
[10:40] <pichon> hola
[10:40] <BeiFong> llutz, I'm not talking about the comments. What would happen the next time I started the computer and  GRUB_TIMEOUT was in that file?

[10:41] <Okcf> cjs: http://stinebaugh.info/installing-ubuntu-server-12-04-lts-using-hardware-raid1/
[10:42] <Okcf> cjs: oh you are looking for software radi???
[10:42] <cjs> Okcf: Yes. I'm using the md driver.
[10:42] <Okcf> http://blog.neolocus.com/2012/04/ubuntu-12-04-lts-and-soft-raid-with-mdadm/
[10:43] <cjs> Okcf: The install appeared to go ok for me, but it won't boot. I get just a blank screen with a blinking text cursor.
[10:43] <Okcf> how long did u wait on that blinking text cursor
[10:43] <Okcf> ??
[10:43] <cjs> Okcf: Several minutes.
[10:44] <Okcf> hummm
[10:44] <cjs> Okcf: That web page you gave me starts with, "Ubuntu installer does not come with Software RAID support." But that seems to be false: RAID was right there in the (manual) partitioning menu.
[10:45] <cjs> Okcf: So what I did was create two partitions on the disk, both set to "use as RAID physical volume" in the installer. One has an ext4 mounted on /boot, the other an LVM with /root and swap in it. (This is what I did back in the 8.04 days, where that all seemed to work fine.)
[10:46] <cjs> Okcf: Oh, hm, it does occur to me that, since I'm not using encryption, I could just do one LVM with root and swap, and not have a separate /boot. Does that seem like a better idea?
[10:46] <alumno_> hola

[10:48] <Okcf> it's interesting
[10:49] <cjs> gordonjcp, Okcf: booting up the installer in rescue mode, things do look a bit weird. Starting a shell with my LVM root as root, I see that df -h claims that /dev/md0 (a 240 MB partition for /boot) is 15G in size and has otherwise the same size/used/avail as root.
[10:49] <gordonjcp> cjs: o_O
[10:49] <cjs> gordonjcp: My thoughts run more to, "Uh oh." :-)
[10:50]  * quant is away: I'm busy... thinking...thinking...thinking...
[10:50] <Myrtti> quant: please turn that off
[10:50] <Okcf> cjs: O_o wrong config?
[10:50] <Okcf> are you sure you did the step by step process the right way?
[10:51] <Guest22364> guys i have a problem. although i have net connectivity i cannot open pages... can anyone help?
[10:51] <cjs> Okcf: fstab appears correct. "umount /boot" says, "/boot: not mounted," but /boot isn't mounted after that. "mount /boot" then mounts it, and things look fine.
[10:51] <cjs> Okcf: I'm pretty sure, yup. I've done it twice now, actually, and I checked pretty carefully the second time.
[10:51] <gordonjcp> cjs: back up, nuke and pave
[10:51] <Okcf> seems like it is doing mirroring but on 2 different prtitions
[10:52] <euklidis> i am from that machine. i can ping every site, i can use apps but not browsers...
[10:52] <Okcf> which is kinda ...
[10:52] <Okcf> euklidis: try looking at proxy settings
[10:52] <cjs> Okcf: I have two mirrors: md0 on sda1 (and soon, sdb1), and md1 on sda2 (and soon, sdb2). This is because I have to mirror partitions, not the entire disk.
[10:52] <euklidis> i did. they are correct
[10:53] <Okcf> ok that's cool
[10:53] <euklidis> no proxy ;)
[10:53] <Okcf> but it is mirroring the wrong folds
[10:53] <cjs> So, let me try re-installing grub. Okcf, gordonjcp, what argument do I give to grub-install? /dev/md0? /dev/sda1?
[10:54] <Goauld> grub is on sda1 and sdb1
[10:54] <Goauld> on a md0 raid
[10:54] <Okcf> cjs: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html
[10:55] <cjs> Goauld: So, I use grub-install /dev/sda1, then. (I'll have to do sdb1 later, when it comes on line.)
 Hello. I'm trying to install Phantomjs 1.7 on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. the hosting is mediatemple. I get "segmentation fault". Anyone can help? thank you.
[10:57] <gucki> good morning
[10:57] <danieljs> I can't install a newer version of ubuntu on mediatemple..
[10:57] <gucki> I'm using latest ubuntu quantal server and have a serious kvm memory problem.
[10:57] <shojo> haha..this is cool! My Windows computer displays a message from my ISP that says i was disconnected for not paying in time (probably true and i'm going to pay it now) ,but my linux pc has full access to internet :D
[10:57] <Goauld> cjs you can install them all at once
[10:58] <cjs> Goauld: Yes, if I had another SATA cable handy. :-)
[10:58] <notinlist> Hello! The dpkg -l vlc-nox displays that the package is desired for install, but it is not installed. It is selected for install with dselect, but dselect/install does not do a thing. What's the problem? (12.0.4)
[10:58] <gucki> A kvm guest i started with -m 2048 (so 2048 of ram) is actually taking 2700 (res) and 4700 (virt) on the host...?! :-(
[10:59] <pba> Hello everyone!
[10:59] <gucki> how can i debug and fix this? :-)
[10:59] <notinlist> ... and what does "Noting disappearance of X" means?
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> gucki  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[10:59] <Goauld> ok
[10:59] <cjs> Goauld: So, reinstalling grub to /dev/sda1 didn't work.
[10:59] <gucki> MonkeyDust: ok thanks, i'll do :)
[11:00] <pba> I was uninstalling nginx and deleted the /etc/nginx folder, now after apt-get remove and apt-get install it is not created again. Do you know how can I solve this problem?
[11:00] <Goauld> boot from live cd
[11:01] <the_dark_knight> pba: try purge and remove the nginx permanently.
[11:04] <pba> anyone?
[11:04] <BeiFong> pba, what command did you use to delete that directory?
[11:04] <notinlist> How can it happend, that dselect does not install selected packages. Simply does not list them when using the Install menu.
[11:05] <Celso> Hi there! Someone knows how to guive access to ekiga run as root but not giving the root access?
[11:05] <jalexandru_> HI, anybody can offer some guidance with postgresql? I'm stuck, I'm trying to run a program that needs to connect to the postgresql db and I get an error "FATAL: Ident athentication failed for user postgres "
[11:08] <Celso> people, i can only run ekiga successfully as a root but i dont want to guive the root permissions to it. how do i fix this?
[11:08] <Celso> can sommeone help on this?
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> Celso  don't repeat your question too often
[11:09] <Celso> ok
[11:10] <Celso> sorry
[11:10] <riktking> hi i have a bitof a problem. my hdd on my PC seems to have gone down, if i use clonezilla will this preserve everything onto the new drive and it *should* boot ?
[11:10] <savio> jalexandru_, check your username and database name
[11:11] <cjs> Goauld: So, grub-install /dev/sda didn't help, either. Any thoughts on how I might debug this?
[11:11] <cjs> Maybe I'll try an install without a /boot.
[11:12] <Celso> @riktking why not boot on the pc by a live usb and copy all the stuff in there to another pc?
[11:12] <jalexandru_> how can I connect to a postgresql db? for example in mysql is easy: mysql -u root -p ,same command for postgres?
[11:13] <xwit> http://hpaste.org/77441 //I have a problem with apt-get. I tried o install a nvidia driver for my screen with apt-get but failed and installed it manually. Now everytime I run apt-get I tries to compile the nvidia driver I tried to install with apt-get again and fails. How can I remove this? See the paste for details. (it is backtrack-linux which is based on ubuntu)
[11:15] <savio> jalexandru_, this is not postgresql support channel but you have to either access it with postgreuser or install package pgadmin3
[11:15] <llutz> Jaac: psql -h hostname -U user -d database

[11:18] <JohnFlux> Hey all
[11:18] <greenit> i have a diashow instead of a hd-video, can any1 help me? my graphics card is an intel 945gm and at details, it says "grahics: unknown"...
[11:18] <llutz> simplew: https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone
[11:18] <JohnFlux> After upgrading, grub no longer finds any partitions
[11:19] <JohnFlux> google says to download and burn the ubuntu live cd, and run some commands on that to recover grub
[11:19] <simplew> llutz: i cant see the package drakx
[11:19] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[11:19] <JohnFlux> where can I download the 12.10 live cd please?
[11:19] <savio> !download
[11:19] <dr_willis> JohnFlux:  the boot-repair live cd is also handy for that
[11:20] <simplew> JohnFlux: theres a more recent version 3 alpha3
[11:20] <greenit> JohnFlux: you can also try the supergrubdisk: http://www.supergrubdisk.org
[11:20] <dr_willis> too bad thy dident include boot-repair on the default live cd
[11:20] <savio> greenit, it's normal is everything working fine
[11:20] <Celso> On ubuntu 12.04 i can only run ekiga successfully as a root but i dont want to guive the root permissions to it. how do i fix this?
[11:21] <greenit> savio: well, it's a bit slow, but else, it works
[11:21] <pba> BeiFong, I used sudo rm -Rf foder
[11:21] <hcvst> set theme demonspork
[11:21] <greenit> savio: i should also say that it is a netbook...
[11:21] <savio> greenit, what processor and ram
[11:21] <dr_willis> Celso:  whats the error when not ran as root? could be the userea need to be part of a group.
[11:22] <greenit> savio: intel atom n270 (2x1.6ghz) and 1gb ram
[11:23] <savio> greenit, are you playing 1080p video then it will run bit slow
[11:23] <Celso> @ dr_willis the error is :  unable to register. globally unacceptable
[11:23] <greenit> savio: yea, i am running a 1080p video, but its not a bit slow, its a diashow...
[11:24] <dr_willis> 1080p was overwhelming on my 2 netbooks. depending on the codec. easier to reencode the video for them then play. is what i did.
[11:24] <JohnFlux> atom pcs usually have rely on hardware decoding for 1080p videos
[11:24] <xwit> name a really small package to apt-get!
[11:24] <Celso> @ dr_willis i have been searching but the only thing that fixed was running it as sudo
[11:24] <dr_willis> Celso:  run it from a terminal, look for more detailed error messages to search for in the forums/askubuntu.com would be what i would try next
[11:25] <Celso> i already try it but in ask ubuntu says that not meet the quality requirements  -_-
[11:25] <dr_willis> what dosent meet the requirements?
[11:26] <Celso> the askubuntu when i put the question
[11:26] <savio> Celso, paste your terminal output to pastbin
[11:26] <dr_willis> Celso:  search the site for other questions that are  similer.. no need to post your own question first....
[11:26] <cjs> Goauld: So, installing just a single LVM with root and swap (no separate /boot) ends up with my BIOS telling me no disk is bootable. :-(
[11:26] <yeats> Celso: can you share the link to askubuntu?
[11:28] <Celso> @ savio: what output? when i click on ekiga icon simply opens ekiga and shows the error
[11:28] <Celso> @ yeats: what link?
[11:28] <dr_willis> run ekiga from a terminal...
[11:28] <Celso> ok
[11:28] <savio> Celso, follow dr_willis
[11:29] <cjs> Argh. Looks like I had my BIOS SATA mode in traditional, rather than AHCI mode, all this time. And that appears to have been part of the problem.
[11:29] <simplew> in where can i see locale definitions? i have looked in /etc and i see no i18n file
[11:30] <Celso> running it from terminal dont show anything. and running  "sudo ekiga" on terminal dont show anything either. just opens ekiga.
[11:30] <cjs> Now at least I get a grub menu.
[11:32] <savio> Celso, don't use sudo
[11:32] <Celso> wait.... i think i know the problem
[11:32] <dr_willis> well for starters you should gksudo guiapp  ;)
[11:33] <Celso> apparently, after i close ekiga, it continues to running on the background.
[11:33] <dr_willis> but its also possiblr some setting file got owned by root in your users home..
[11:33] <mrdor> I am having the strange thing that my raid1 md1 is not auto mounting. by restart it says that I have to press S to Skip mounting. But if I do mount -a than it mounts. Any idea?
[11:33] <Celso> hum...
[11:33] <savio> dr_willis, can ask you question about firewall configuration simple one
[11:33] <dr_willis> savio:  i rarely use firewalls. my router handles it
[11:33] <Celso> but gksudo will block some root access?
[11:33] <xwit> If I did sudo apt-get install ruby I guess I can also sudo apt-get uninstall ruby? but there is no such operation. how can I remove a package?
[11:34] <cjs> xwit: apt-get remove.
[11:34] <dr_willis> Celso:  gksudo should be used for x gui apps.. it dosent block anything that im aware of
[11:34] <dr_willis> !info ruby
[11:35] <cjs> xwit: Or apt-get purge if you want to remove config files as well.
[11:35] <dr_willis> ruby may be a meta package so removeing it may not remove much
[11:35] <savio> !apt-get | xwit
[11:35] <cjs> dr_willis: But uninstalling it should remove all dependent packages that were brought in only because he installed the ruby package.
[11:36] <Celso> so, in another words, its the same as sudo, but for the gui apps. Well, Thanks for all the help! Dont know how it was but it got fixed. but what it is strange is that ekiga is still running on the background
[11:37] <danci1973> Hello... If I choose to install a LTS release, how hard is it later to upgrade to current 'regular' release?

[11:39] <savio> Celso, no problem

[11:39] <AminosAmigos> hello is there a way to save all my installed packages (just there names) so i can reinstall them later on a fresh install ?

[11:41] <dr_willis> using aptitude to reinstall/install stuff these days is not a good idea. but once you got a list theres other ways to use it
[11:42] <blackshirt> i don't think so
[11:42] <savio> dr_willis, why so? i think aptitude / apt-get in best
[11:42] <dr_willis> i tend to make custom scripts to install thre dozen or so tools  i want
[11:42] <savio> dr_willis, thats very cleaver
[11:43] <dr_willis> savio:  dont use aptitude. it can cause issues. apt-get is fine
[11:43] <dr_willis> keep the script on my ubuntu one account also. ;)
[11:43] <savio> dr_willis, i don't use that crap apt-get is super cow
[11:43] <dr_willis> hmm. i never did try the account sync feature in 12.10 yet.
[11:43] <llutz> aptitude still works fine on i386, just issues with amd64/multiarch
[11:44] <dr_willis> ive not used aptitude much.. ive had it do 'weird' things ages ago so always avoided it.
[11:45] <dr_willis> it removed then reinstalled the same 50+ packages for me when i was installing some apt.. never did figure out why.  but the system survived.
[11:46] <bizhanMona> !cloning
[11:46] <dr_willis> package management is such an... interesting task. ;)
[11:46] <bizhanMona> !automate
[11:46] <llutz> dr_willis: that might have been at the time apt-get couldn't use aptitudes extended status flags, long time ago
[11:46] <fabryfb> è solo in inglese_? niente italiano:?
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> !it
[11:47] <cjs> So when my 12.04 amd64 server install boots, I get a grub menu, and things seem to work ok if I do a rescue boot. But if I do a non-rescue boot, I end up with a blank screen. (The monitor's still getting a signal, but there's no text or anything else.) Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F8 don't bring up anything, either. Ideas?
[11:49] <savio> !nomodeset | cjs
[11:49] <cjs> Oh, it's definitely not coming up. In recovery mode, if I continue through to normal boot, I can see SMTP running on port 25. It's not in non-recovery mode.
[11:50] <fabryfb> niente italiano? tutti arabi?
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> !it > fabryfb
[11:51] <LordThumper> fabryfb: ma arabo sei tu ;p
[11:52] <cjs> savio: Hm. Could be it. I did see something about graphics something-or-other coming up as [fail] in the init.d stuff that scrolled by in recovery mode.
[11:54] <fabryfb> salve ho problemi con libre office e lettore mp3 sony.
[11:54] <xwit> how do i list all apt-gettable packages?
[11:54] <savio> i deny every outgoing traffic and allow only on port 80 and 443 still i not able to browse how so? did i miss something
[11:55] <savio> xwit, what you really want
[11:55] <llutz> savio: you need to accept --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED
[11:56] <savio> llutz, sorry i don't about iptables i'm using ufw
[11:56] <llutz> savio: then read ufw-manual how to get that working
[11:57] <cjs> savio: No, it doesn't seem to be a nomodeset thing. It seems actually not to be booting. (I can't ping it after waiting a while, for example.)
[11:58] <cjs> Any other thoughts? Is there a record of previous boots written to a log somewhere?

[11:58] <YokoBR> hi guys
[11:58] <cjs> I do get far enough into something that ctrl-alt-del reboots the system, though I don't know if that's Linux or grub.
[11:59] <savio> hello YokoBR
[11:59] <savio> cjs ithink it's grub
[11:59] <savio> MonkeyDust, llutz thanks
[12:00] <YokoBR> does anyone knows how can i enable my discrete gpu on a hybrid notebook?
[12:00] <savio> llutz, is there any great resource to start learning iptables
[12:00] <Steve_Ollis> yokobr, what model laptop and gfx card?
[12:01] <llutz> savio: idk this is not bad http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/security/iptables1.html
[12:01] <danci1973> Why is 32-bit recommended? I have 8 GB of RAM, surely 64-bit is better suited?
[12:01] <cjs> savio: Hm. Maybe I need something to tell grub not to change any screen modes?
[12:01] <YokoBR> Steve_Ollis, HP G42, amd vision turion II premium HD 4200 and discrete gpu is a HD 6310
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> danci1973  depends if your hardware is 64bit - 32bit rins on anything
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> runs*
[12:01] <savio> danci1973, it's not depend on ram
[12:02] <ThinkT510> danci1973: 32bit is only recommended for people who don't know which to use
[12:02] <danci1973> MonkeyDust: Do they still sell 32-bit HW? :)
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> danci1973  probably not, but that's why :)
[12:03] <danci1973> ThinkT510: I see... So I'll get the 64-bit then. :)
[12:03] <savio> !rkhunter
[12:05] <Steve_Ollis> yokobr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[12:06] <savio> i think malaware not affect linux system then why to use ckhunter /chkrootkit
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> malware in linux? am i missing something?
[12:07] <savio> MonkeyDust, yup
[12:07] <Steve_Ollis> malware in linux .. using VirtualBox and a Windows VM
[12:07] <savio> MonkeyDust, http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/security/malware.html
[12:09] <cjs> savio: Well, adding some echo commands indicates that the last line of the grub script is executed (it got past the initrd). Those echoed lines stay on the screen, and then it seems to freeze, except for accepting ctrl-alt-del to reboot.

[12:10] <xwit> Can I list apt-packages by size?
[12:10] <xwit> I just want to get some small ones
[12:10] <cjs> savio: Weirdly enough, adding the "recovery nomodeset" options to the end of the linux line in the non-recovery boot script still exhibits a freeze. Is there some other difference between recovery and non-recovery boots?
[12:10] <STMelon> http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/284124-myth-busting-is-linux-immune-to-viruses
[12:11] <cjs> savio: Ah! "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode".
[12:12] <cjs> savio: So you're kind of right. That exposes the problem that I'm dropping to a busybox shell. Maybe because I got the option for continue-boot-on-broken raid wrong?
[12:13] <savio> cjs, i got same black scrren problem long ago when i was using blacktrack linux
[12:14] <savio> !nomodeset >cjs
[12:14] <cjs> savio: the lack of screen issue is fixed by deleing the gfxmode line, actually. That exposed the other problem, which is that I drop into a busybox shell.
[12:14] <savio> cjs it helps if you have any grahics driver problem and if it other than that then we have to look at it
[12:15] <cjs> Anybody know off hand where I set the parameter for continue boot or not on broken RAID?
[12:17] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:17] <blackshirt> hei blueskaj
[12:17] <BluesKaj> hi blackshirt
[12:17] <blackshirt> good night
[12:18] <xwit> Can I list apt-packages by size? I just want to try and get some small ones for a test
[12:26] <cjs> savio: The issue was actually present only when I dropped to busybox. If I leave the gfxmode line in, but type (blindly) "exit" at the blank screen, the boot continues and I eventually get messages.
[12:26] <savio> cjs, strange
[12:27] <Wh1tebird> Ubuntu has disappeared from the grub boot list, how can I add it again? I started up live usb and ran boot-repair but no dice.
[12:27] <Wh1tebird> does someone have a suggestion?
[12:27] <Benkinooby> !paste
[12:28] <Wh1tebird> thanks for reminding me, i have a pate of the boot options
[12:29] <Wh1tebird> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342288/
[12:31] <cjs> savio: Do you have any idea about how I get that line out of my grub boot scripts? It's not obvious when looking at /etc/default/grub.
[12:31] <bizhanMona> !preseed
[12:32] <bpuzzled> cjs: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:32] <savio> cjs, or just issue update-grub
[12:33] <Wh1tebird> I do not have a /boot/grub/menu.lst item
[12:33] <cjs> savio: The problem is, I don't know what to change in /etc/default/grub (which is what I presume update-grub uses to generate a new grub config).
[12:34] <bpuzzled> Wh1tebird: my mistake. :)  I forgot ubuntu does things differently.
[12:34] <savio> cjs is your problem solve or you want to add something to grub option
[12:35] <Wh1tebird> bpuzzled, do you maybe have an idea how to re-ad the ubuntu entry?
[12:36] <cjs> savio: There are two problems: that it stops booting and drops to a mini-shell or whatever, and that during that time, the graphics mode is set such that I get a blank screen. Let's work on the latter, first. If I manually remove the "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" line when booting in grub, that fixes the problem. But I'd like to know what to do to make this change permanent.
[12:36] <idodeisuke> Hi I got Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and why's apt holding the packages libpurple0 and pidgin back?
[12:36] <bpuzzled> Wh1tebird: usually you do: grub-install /dev/<DISK> -- e.g. grub-install /dev/sda
[12:36] <bpuzzled> (as root)
[12:36] <bpuzzled> Wh1tebird: but that just installs grub there...

[12:38] <Ampersand> hello everyone! I have a question: could you please tell me what the command or key combination for "Switch user account" is in Ubuntu 12.10? I mean, to be directly taken to the login screen, without going to the Lock screen first? Is there such a command or key combination?
[12:38] <Wh1tebird> ampersand, i think for that you need to log out, not really sure
[12:38] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: is there a recovery option?
[12:39] <Wh1tebird> royale1223, no, only options are memtest and back to windows
[12:39] <cjs> savio: Not too easily, though it's exactly what 12.04 server installed.
[12:40] <Ampersand> Wh1tebird, yes, I can do it like that, but I was wondering if there's a possibility to go directly to the login screen. Or even if I just lock the screen, without logging out, there's the "Switch user" button on the lock screen that takes me to that.
[12:40] <Wh1tebird> and the partition is intact, i can access the files from windws
[12:40] <Benkinooby> ?dev
[12:40] <Benkinooby> !dev
[12:40] <cjs> savio: Oh, wait, I can, after I check that a copy on another 12.04 server is the same.
[12:40] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: You'll need a live cd/usb then.
[12:40] <delac> Ampersand: ctrl-alt-F* where * is usually 7-9
[12:40] <Wh1tebird> ampersand, maybe try this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1030073
[12:41] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 i have one, what do i have to do from it then?
[12:41] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: How did you install ubuntu? Is this your first time? Have you used any form of linux before?
[12:42] <Wh1tebird> This is a dual boot machine on which i installed first ubuntu and then windows. I've used ubuntu many times before. Ubuntu was installed from cd.
[12:42] <Wh1tebird> My pc just came back from repair and the entry is gone, don't know if it was the case when i sent him in
[12:43] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: Installed from within windows or by directly booting into the cd?
[12:43] <cjs> savio: http://pastebin.com/mjzuzaKX
[12:43] <Wh1tebird> bootin in the cd
[12:43] <delac> Ampersand: you might want to disable lock screen with dconf org.gnome.desktop.lockdown

[12:44] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: Good, so boot into the live cd and fire up a terminal.
[12:44] <cjs> savio: Note that the GRUB_GFXMODE changes what resolution grub runs in, but that's not what I need. I need whatever tweaks the $linux_gfx_mode variables in /boot/grub/menu.cnf.
[12:44] <Wh1tebird> ok, i'll reconnect when logged into the live cd, brb

By default, I can't see that happen at all, but if I change my boot script for grub at boot time from "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" to "gfxmode text" (or just remove that line), I can see it drop to the busybox prompt.

[13:21] <dr_willis> andrea_:  upper side? you mean the titlebat/controls?
[13:22] <andrea_> dr_willis: yes, where you can drag the window, iconize and so on
[13:22] <dr_willis> andrea_:  the webupd8 blog site has some articales on what commands to totally reset unity and compiz back to defaults
[13:22] <xxiao> just found out for 11.04, alt-ctl-F1 is alive while F7 is bad
[13:22] <andrea_> even rebooting doesnt help
[13:22] <ppd> Hi, just a quick question: Does setting a single key shortcut in the keyboard preferences work for anyone in 12.10? It's no problem to set a shortcut like "<ctrl>0xaf" but if I set only "0xaf" (which is a special key on my laptop) then nothing works
[13:22] <xxiao> tried gdm restart, failed
[13:22] <ThinkT510> xxiao: 11.04 is no longer supported
[13:23] <xxiao> 11.10/12.04 even F1 is dead
[13:23] <xxiao> ThinkT510: i know, but my lovely customer only has binary drives for 11.10
[13:23] <xxiao> since 11.10 failed to install i have to install older ones to upgrade
[13:23] <dr_willis> andrea_:  also i recall ubuntu-tweak having some options to reset things back to defasults. but i havent used it in ages
[13:24] <ThinkT510> xxiao: what do you mean "binary drives"?
[13:24] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: chroot /mnt /bin/dash -i
[13:25] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 now i'm presented with a '#' and I run grub-install /dev/sda5 /bin/dash: 1: grub-install: not found
[13:25] <andrea_> dr_willis: apparently sudo unity reset did the job
[13:25] <llutz> Wh1tebird: use pathes,  /usr/sbin/grub-install
[13:26] <shomon> hi, I upgraded ubuntu and now my menus have been replaced by some big buttons
[13:26] <shomon> how do I find things now? I had lots of educational programs in a menu and now I can't find them
[13:27] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 llutz now i'm presented with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342513/
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> shomon  the best to get used to the new interface, is by using it -- click up left and see what happens
[13:28] <shomon> yeah a big black square comes out and I can type program ames
[13:28] <shomon> but I don't know the program names, Ijust want my menu back
[13:28] <shomon> also I already have terminals to tyupe things in
[13:28] <gordonjcp> shomon: what menu?
[13:28] <dr_willis> andrea_: that makes no sence to me.
[13:29] <shomon> a menu with all the programs in my computer in it
[13:29] <STMelon> unity dash?
[13:29] <shomon> itwas in all the previous versions before it triede to copy apple
[13:29] <gordonjcp> shomon: yeah, Gnome used to have that a few years ago
[13:29] <shomon> is there a way to get rid of hese buttons?
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> !notunitu | shomon
[13:29] <ThinkT510> shomon: gnome2 is no longer supported
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> !notunity | shomon
[13:30] <gordonjcp> I think they got rid of that menu thing because it was stupid and inconvenient
[13:30] <dr_willis> shomon: there are 'classic gnome menu' indicator applets and programs for unity and gnome-shell
[13:30] <shomon> how do people find programs now on their computer?
[13:30] <shomon> I want all the educational programs
[13:30] <gordonjcp> shomon: what do you mean, "find"
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> shomon  we got used to the new interface
[13:30] <shomon> if you can do that with this fine.. but typing stuff in that box each time is like gong back to using a VAX
[13:31] <STMelon> for old style gnome, suod apt-get install gnome-session-fallback then sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu then sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
[13:31] <STMelon> sudo*
[13:31] <gordonjcp> I just press the Cmd key and type the name of the thing I want
[13:31] <shomon> find: I don't know the name of them. I'd put them all in a menu so my daugfhter ca use them
[13:31] <shomon> can
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> shomon  xfce and lxde don't have the buttons
[13:31] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: well and good, ls -la /usr/sbin
[13:31] <shomon> okay thanks STMelon I'll try that
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> shomon  or simply learn how to use unity, like we all did
[13:31] <dr_willis> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/10/get-classic-menu-indicator-working-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/
[13:32] <shomon> yeah that is what I'm asking
[13:32] <shomon> how do you use unity to find programs if you don't kow their name, only their category
[13:32] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342520/
[13:32] <philinux> shomon: open the dash click the apps tab at the bottom - filter results
[13:33] <shomon> aaah thanks philinux
[13:33] <philinux> shomon: the apps tab is the seconds from the left
[13:33] <shomon> there they are..! cheers

[13:35] <philinux> shomon: also - open the dash and type help
[13:35] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 also with sda5
[13:35] <dr_willis> they really need to borrow the 'training guides' idea that so many android apps seem to use these days

[13:47] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342552/
[13:47] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: What version fo ubuntu are you suing?
[13:48] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 for live usb or what i'm repairing?
[13:48] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: repairing
[13:48] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 I'm not sure, i've hadn't had my pc for 3 months for repairs, I think it's a version from 4 to 4 months ago
[13:50] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: You have missing grub binaries, we'll try to restore that. But I'm not sure if this'll work.
[13:50] <Wh1tebird> royale1223 no problem, i'm backing up the files as we speak
[13:51] <royale1223> Wh1tebird: open a new terminal
[13:51] <llutz> royale1223: Wh1tebird backup your stuff, install from fresh then. easier than to fiddle in chroot, who knows what else is missing and why grub is gone at all
[13:51] <royale1223> then which grub-install
[13:52] <Wh1tebird>  /usr/sbin/grub-install
[13:52] <royale1223> llutz: I concur other things might be missing too..
[13:52] <Wh1tebird> llutz, well that's the backup plan
[13:52] <Wh1tebird> I'll do that then
[13:53] <llutz> Wh1tebird: there's no need for chroot to backup your things. just mount your old installations /home and copy it somewhere
[13:53] <Wh1tebird> llut ok thanks

[14:04] <attackment> oh che bello, giorno, un picoolo aiuto per xorg
[14:04] <Pici> !it | attackment
[14:04] <Eagleman> Can i cache rss feeds like: https://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?username=
[14:04] <attackment> opssssss
[14:04] <attackment> sorry
[14:05] <attackment> :)
[14:08] <Simex> Hello?
[14:08] <Eagleman> Can i cache rss feeds like: https://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?username=
[14:08] <Simex> I got a mail from someone named Rikki Patel claiming to be from Canonical but I don't know if it is real
[14:09] <Simex> I've never received any mails from Canonical
[14:09] <Synt> is it even possible to upgrade jaunty?
[14:09] <llutz> Simex: check pgp-signature
[14:09] <Simex> How?
[14:09] <Simex> It just send a normal mail
[14:10] <llutz> Simex: not signed? -> trashbin
[14:11] <juboba> how can I install flash player for chromium? It keeps blocking the flash apps because of out of date plugin, firefox works fine
[14:12] <Simex> llutz, https://gist.github.com/5c9863d98747129a1baa
[14:12] <Simex> This is the information Gmail shows about the mail
[14:12] <Simex> It looks like it was send from Canonical.. But I could be wrong?
[14:13] <llutz> Simex: _i'd_ just delete it. why should one give them (even if it comes from canonical) a validated email-address
[14:13] <quesada> When I install something that goes into /usr/local/bin, with sudo, the system doesn't give exec permisson to my normal user. Why? Is this normal?
[14:13] <quesada> say $sudo gem install sass
[14:13] <faLUCE> hi, how can I configure /etc/init.d/myservice so to start automatically after booting?
[14:13] <Simex> Okay
[14:14] <Simex> llutz, I find it pretty disturbing because I got called from the United Kingdom just a few minutes before I got that mail
[14:15] <Simex> I don't know anyone from the United Kingdom
[14:15] <sten_> hey guys
[14:15] <sten_> my fn+brightness buttons do not work after sleep/resume
[14:15] <sten_> does anyone have an idea?
[14:16] <bpuzzled> quesada: I get the correct permissions... what do you get with: ls -l `which sass`
[14:17] <memtestfails> sooo, memtest86+ 4.20 bundled with ubuntu 12.10....
[14:18] <quesada> bpuzzled:  rwxr-x--- 1 root root  451 Nov  8 15:17 sass*
[14:18] <quesada> both on bash and fish
[14:18] <quesada> wrong permissions
[14:18] <quesada> my sudoers lets my user use sudo without a passwd
[14:18] <quesada> in case it matters
[14:18] <bpuzzled> quesada: sounds like a umask is broken.
[14:19] <bpuzzled> quesada: sudo /bin/sh -c umask
[14:19] <quesada> bpuzzled: thanks
[14:19] <quesada> bpuzzled: 0027
[14:19] <bpuzzled> quesada: yeah, that should be 0022 :)
[14:20] <quesada> never used umask
[14:20] <bpuzzled> try adding this to your /etc/sudoers: Defaults umask=0022
[14:20] <quesada> wonder how it got borked
[14:20] <quesada> upgrade to 12.10?
[14:21] <bpuzzled> not sure.  I'm on xubuntu 12.10 and my umask with sudo is 0022
[14:22] <quesada> do you have 'Defaults umask=0022' on your sudoers?
[14:22] <bpuzzled> apparently not...
[14:22] <bpuzzled> what's your regular user's umask?  just do umask as your regular user.
[14:22] <bpuzzled> that should be 0002
[14:22] <quesada> 0007
[14:22] <bpuzzled> aha
[14:22] <memtestfails> lol
[14:23] <quesada> bpuzzled: fix?
[14:23] <bpuzzled> technically that's good -- a little paranoid, but good, I guess.
[14:23] <talpur> hi comunity How to set environment variable in ubuntu 12.4 see the error on this paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342624/  and help

[14:23] <juboba> how can I install flash player for chromium? It keeps blocking the flash apps because of out of date plugin, firefox works fine
[14:24] <bpuzzled> quesada: can you do: grep ^UMASK /etc/login.defs
[14:24] <quesada> UMASK           022
[14:25] <bpuzzled> hmm, that looks correct.

[14:25] <naxilxubuntu> ho can helpme?
[14:25] <bpuzzled> then open a new terminal/shell and check what it is.
[14:27] <quesada> now it's 0002 on bash
[14:27] <quesada> but I use fish
[14:27] <bpuzzled> :)
[14:27] <bpuzzled> oh
[14:27] <quesada> should I add it to config.fish
[14:27] <bpuzzled> ahh, that's probably it then.  yeah, do that. :)
[14:28] <quesada> now we are talking ;)

[14:28] <quesada> 0002
[14:28] <bpuzzled> awesome.
[14:28] <quesada> bpuzzled: thanks
[14:28] <quesada> I'd love to know what happened there
[14:28] <quesada> I hate not knowing
[14:29] <bpuzzled> I can explain umask if you like... it's simple.
[14:29] <Simex> Is there a Canonical related support channel?
[14:30] <Synt> how do you setup ubuntu with 2 network cards?
[14:30] <quesada> bpuzzled: but problem is not over
[14:30] <Synt> i want one for LAN and one for WAN
[14:30] <quesada> bpuzzled: sudo gem install sass
[14:30] <dr_willis> !ics
[14:30] <quesada> then $sass
[14:30] <Synt> no internet sharing
[14:31] <quesada> bpuzzled: Could not find sass (>= 0) amongst [] (Gem::LoadError)
[14:31] <bpuzzled> quesada: hmm.  check: sudo -c /bin/sh umask
[14:31] <bpuzzled> oh
[14:31] <Synt> i want lan users to access a FTP via lan interface
[14:31] <compdoc> Synt, I set up the card in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:31] <bpuzzled> quesada: well at least it's executing now. :)
[14:32] <dr_willis> Synt:  plug them all in, run a dhcp server on that interface i belive.
[14:32] <quesada> /home/quesada# umask
[14:32] <quesada> 0022
[14:32] <dr_willis> almost the same setup as the ics stuff
[14:32] <Synt> absolutley not
[14:32] <Synt> have a windows dhcp server on the lan
[14:32] <naxilxubuntu> if i need libqtgui what packet i need?
[14:33] <yello> Halloy.. I have an arm processor tablet (rooted with linux ubuntu), and im in nano, and ctrl+x wont work what should i do? (Ctrl+X nothing happens)
[14:33] <bpuzzled> quesada: looks like rubygems is set up wrong or something... not sure.
[14:33] <dr_willis> yello:  try #ubuntu-arm  perhaps
[14:33] <bpuzzled> quesada: to make absolutely sure we fixed one problem, can you check: ls -l /usr/local/bin/sass
[14:33] <yello> ok, just one last question, any alternative of closing? any command.. u know ubuntu :[ plz?
[14:34] <quesada> bpuzzled: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 451 Nov  8 15:29 /
[14:34] <Synt> somehow i see only one interface in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:34] <bpuzzled> quesada: :)
[14:34] <bear831> I love you too!
[14:35] <quesada> Package 'rubygems' is not installed, so not removed
[14:35] <quesada> rubygems package wants ruby1.8
[14:36] <quesada> system's ruby is 1.9.3p194
[14:36] <bpuzzled> quesada: rubygems comes with ruby as of 1.9... what happens if you do this: ruby -e "puts require 'sass'" ?
[14:36] <bpuzzled> you should just get 'true'.
[14:36] <kefir> is there any way to set up a network bridge using network-manager, or do I have to stop using network-manager when I start with complicated stuff?
[14:36] <quesada> bpuzzled: rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- sass (LoadError)
[14:37] <dr_willis> kefir:  network bridge same as internet connection shareing? theres the !ics guide that i think mentions a few tools to set it up.
[14:37] <bpuzzled> quesada: I suspected that might happen, though I'm not sure why.  it means the gem path isn't set up properly.  I've never really got to the bottom of how you fix that in a correct way...
[14:38] <dr_willis> thry work with netwoek manager
[14:38] <TheIdeaHacker> Ask : i have a problem connecting my wireless dongle. every boot needs  this "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605" code to identify the dongle connected
[14:38] <quesada> bpuzzled: there's this: http://www.only10types.com/2011/01/install-sass-on-ubuntu-1004-lucid.html
[14:38] <dr_willis> TheIdeaHacker:  dirty fix. put the command in /etc/rc.local
[14:38] <kefir> dr_willis: thanks. !ics? I'm happy to set it up in /etc/network/interfaces, but I have to write in the static IP there, and it's kinda hairy to keep track of that in two places
[14:39] <dr_willis> !ics
[14:39] <llutz> TheIdeaHacker: add "options usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605" to /etc/modutils/usbserial
[14:40] <llutz> TheIdeaHacker: add "options usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605" to /etc/modprobe.d/usbserial  *
[14:40] <dr_willis> reminds me. i need to find a decent wifi card for my desktop box.
[14:40] <kefir> dr_willis: thanks, that wasn't what I was trying though. But I found my answer here, which was "disable network-manager": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen#Network_Configuration
[14:41] <llutz> TheIdeaHacker: 3rd attempt: /etc/modprobe.d/usbserial.conf    since filenames without .conf are deprecated now, sorry
[14:41] <dr_willis> not sure how a bridge differs from ics then.  ;) but i rarely need such things
[14:42] <wild_oscar> do you by any chance know how to change the mail client that appears when you click the envelope on the top right corner app tray?
[14:42] <wild_oscar> I see Thunderbird there, I'd like it to open Evolution instead
[14:43] <TheIdeaHacker> llutz: Thanks will try
[14:43] <TheIdeaHacker> dr_wills: Thanks buddy
[14:44] <bpuzzled> quesada: so I'm trying to figure out where ruby installed sass on my box... make sure that this gives you a list of dirs that looks about right: ruby -e 'puts $:'
[14:44] <wild_oscar> without removing Thunderbird, that is...
[14:44] <bpuzzled> quesada: ok, ruby has installed sass to /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/sass-3.2.2 for me...
[14:45] <bpuzzled> quesada: even though I don't have that in my $: list. :|
[14:45] <bpuzzled> quesada: so presumably some other part of ruby adds that in.
[14:45] <quesada> bpuzzled: me neither
[14:45] <quesada> no gems on the list
[14:45] <talpur_> h
[14:46] <bpuzzled> quesada: from within irb, if I do "require 'sass'" then the correct path gets added to $: for me...
[14:46] <bpuzzled> quesada: I would just try reinstalling ruby.
[14:46] <TheIdeaHacker> #join irc
[14:46] <talpur_> hi community need help to set environment variable
[14:46] <bpuzzled> quesada: maybe the umask changes mean ruby can't read some file.
[14:46] <quesada> for me: NameError: undefined local variable or method `sass' for main:Object
[14:46] <quesada> makes sense
[14:46] <Kartagis> talpur: man export
[14:46] <bpuzzled> quesada: needs to be a string. :)
[14:46] <quesada> same for python
[14:47] <TheIdeaHacker> join #python
[14:47] <quesada> bpuzzled: LoadError: cannot load such file -- sass
[14:47] <bpuzzled> quesada: ok.  try reinstalling ruby (and python if you say you get a similar problem).
[14:48] <quesada> I suspect something went really wrong with my upgrade to 12.10
[14:49] <oznt> hi everyone, i am considering to buy the nook simple touch, but it is not clear to me if i have to root it, to so i can load books on it from ubuntu
[14:49] <oznt> i have a kindle, when i plug it to my ubuntu, it appears as a flash drive, any pdf put there can be read, is this similar with the nook?
[14:49] <quesada> bpuzzled: ruby -v is ruby 1.9.3p194
[14:49] <oznt> can some one confirm?
[14:49] <quesada> but
[14:49] <quesada> ruby -e 'puts $:'
[14:49] <bpuzzled> quesada: same here
[14:50] <quesada> /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1
[14:50] <quesada> etc
[14:50] <quesada> all 1.9.1
[14:50] <FloodBot1> quesada: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:50] <llutz> oznt: check if calibre supports the nook
[14:50] <zorael> Anyone familiar with cgroups? I'm trying to limit the cpu usage of a process and I think I did it all right, but regardless of what I set cpu.shares to it still runs at full speed
[14:50] <bpuzzled> quesada: I think they realised that putting the version number in there was a bad idea... they stopped changing it after 1.9.1.
[14:50] <quesada> ah
[14:50] <oznt> i am now, but it not clear
[14:50] <quesada> still, something is broken
[14:50] <oznt> they talk about collections
[14:51] <quesada> and I think they went from 1.8.2 to 1.9.3
[14:51] <talpur_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342687/ kindly see the error and help to reslove
[14:51] <diensthunds> Trying to figure out why ubuntu can't be loaded from a nfs and tftp server, keep getting error messages about the kernel not being found. Have checked file permissions and the path to the kernel and everything is correct.
[14:51] <bpuzzled> talpur_: it's .cshrc -- so ./.cshrc
[14:52] <DR01D-Engineer> how can i get wine to work with jvm? i can compile and run java programs from the terminal.... i am trying to run minecraft inside wine's c folder but it says cannot find jvm
[14:52] <quesada> removing python is impossible
[14:52] <quesada> it takes half the system with it
[14:52] <quesada> so if it's affected, I'm screwed
[14:52] <bpuzzled> hmm
[14:53] <bpuzzled> quesada: not sure how much of a good idea this is, but you might be able to fix by doing: chmod -R o+r /usr
[14:53] <oznt> llutz, calibre converts stuff, but can I simply drag and drop book?
[14:53] <bpuzzled> everything under /usr should be world-readable, really.
[14:53] <kefir> dr_willis: a bridge actually makes two (or more) separate networks work as a single LAN, by forwarding broadcasts and doing all sorts of stuff. most people don't use it, but it's great for xen and vpns
[14:54] <bpuzzled> quesada: (of course, run that as root ;))
[14:54] <llutz> oznt: calibre can read/write books from/to ereaders if they are supported
[14:54] <quesada> did it with sudo, problem still there
[14:54] <quesada> rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find sass (>= 0) amongst [] (Gem::LoadError)
[14:54] <quesada> when running sas
[14:54] <oznt> ok, i will install it , and go to b&n to see if they let me test it
[14:54] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[14:54] <oznt> llutz, thanks, I got to run!
[14:55] <llutz> oznt: if not, theres kobo touch :)
[14:55] <oznt> llutz, what is kobo?
[14:55] <llutz> oznt: another ereader
[14:55] <oznt> can i get it on the store?
[14:56] <quesada> bpuzzled: should I reboot? reinstall?
[14:56] <llutz> oznt: http://www.kobobooks.de/touch
[14:56] <oznt> oh, ja i have to wait until i come back to germany
[14:56] <llutz> oznt: http://www.kobobooks.com/touch  sry wrong link
[14:56] <bpuzzled> quesada: reinstalling is drastic.  you probably want to avoid that. :/
[14:56] <llutz> oznt: comes from canada
[14:56] <oznt> thing is i am now in chicago, and it is cheaper here, because of euro to dollar
[14:57] <food> I installed the skype 64 bit . They say it is 64bit but all dependency is 32 bit... I had to install lots of extra 32 bit dependency. Are they lying?
[14:57] <quesada> I don't want to do much knowing that both ruby and python seem to be borked somehow
[14:57] <talpur_> bpuzzled: I could fix the error can you write me the exact command I will be thankful
[14:57] <oznt> llutz, still i need to grab it today or tomorrow, i fly on sunday
[14:57] <oznt> anyway
[14:57] <bpuzzled> quesada: looking at my system, it looks like I get the correct directory set in /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/defaults.rb on line 48.
[14:57] <oznt> got to run! thanks for  the info
[14:57] <quesada> the more I install on the current system, the more borked it'll be
[14:57] <llutz> oznt: hurry up then :) good luck
[14:57] <bpuzzled> talpur_: . ./.cshrc
[14:57] <bpuzzled> quesada: could be yeah. :/
[14:58] <quesada> Honestly, I've reinstalled ubuntu more times I can count
[14:58] <quesada> like 2-3 times every 6 months
[14:58] <talpur_> bpuzzled: sorry but its again give the same error bash: ./.cshrc: No such file or directory
[14:59] <TheLordOfTime> quesada, you're doing it wrong then.  what're you installing?
[14:59] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Hello
[14:59] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Is there a Terminal command for me to install Photoshop on my XFCE machine?
[14:59] <quesada> it gets unusable when updating. I try to resurrect it, spend a weekend on forums, etc, decide it's easier to reinstall
[14:59] <bpuzzled> talpur_: oh, sorry, I didn't read your paste carefully enough... those scripts that you source are tailored for specific shells.  so, for example, you should source cshrc if you're actually running cshrc.
[14:59] <talpur_> bpuzzled: sorry but its again give the same error bash: ./.cshrc: No such file or directory
[14:59] <quesada> usually an update takes X with it
[15:00] <quesada> mostly kde
[15:00] <bpuzzled> talpur_: you might have more success with shrc, so try: . ./shrc
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> quesada  perform sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get clean from time to time
[15:00] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Is there a Terminal command for me to install Photoshop on my XFCE machine?
[15:00] <TheLordOfTime> Hishamoto_Masuki, you'd need to purchase Photoshop, and read up about wine, and see if photoshop works on wine.
[15:00] <TheLordOfTime> !wine | Hishamoto_Masuki
[15:00] <TheLordOfTime> !appdb | Hishamoto_Masuki
[15:00] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Yeah, but I need just the launcher
[15:00] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I have wine
[15:00] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I use Wine a lot
[15:00] <quesada> MonkeyDust: just did, nothing reported
[15:00] <Hishamoto_Masuki> But Adobe won't even let me have the WIndows trial
[15:01] <talpur_> thanks bpuzzled:  its resolved
[15:01] <TheLordOfTime> Hishamoto_Masuki, are you saying it just won't let you install it?
[15:01] <harsh_> hello... I just wanted to know what happens when I try (install) multiple environments ? like gnome3,unity,kde,xfce and so on ... does it affect the system? other than bloated application menus?
[15:01] <cilukba> eheemmm
[15:01] <bpuzzled> talpur_: cool. :)
[15:01] <Hishamoto_Masuki> Yeah!
[15:01] <cilukba> hy
[15:01] <harsh_> ubuntu comes by default with unity gnome...
[15:01] <bpuzzled> Hishamoto_Masuki: maybe it's time to use gimp instead. ;)
[15:01] <quesada> borked system python doesn't bother me much because I use virtualenv
[15:01] <TheLordOfTime> Hishamoto_Masuki, that's an issue with Adobe not wine nor Ubuntu
[15:02] <quesada> but I need ruby for sass
[15:02] <Hishamoto_Masuki> I'm in a Photoshop class -_-
[15:02] <Hishamoto_Masuki> And I use Gimp
[15:02] <TheLordOfTime> Hishamoto_Masuki, time to go get Windows and put it in a virtual machine.  or install windows on your computer alongside Ubuntu.  Full windows.  not a trial
[15:03] <RandomPixels> hello guys
[15:04] <RandomPixels> i'm using IRC through a server of mine and i want to report a different hostname
[15:04] <RandomPixels> instead of somethingsomething.bb.sky.com
[15:04] <RandomPixels> [server runs ubuntu]
[15:04] <quesada> bpuzzled: asking on #ruby...
[15:05] <bpuzzled> RandomPixels: you either need 1) a cloak, 2) a bouncer or 3) a vpn.  (sorted by ascending levels of pain-in-the-backside).
[15:05] <RandomPixels> i already have a bouncer set up on it
[15:06] <RandomPixels> should i search in the bouncer config ? (i thought it was more an OS setting)
[15:06] <llutz> RandomPixels: ask #freenode for a cloak, read tha FAQ before, be happy
[15:07] <RandomPixels> don't want a cloak specifically (i use that bouncer on other networks than freenode)
[15:08] <llutz> RandomPixels: then check your rdns-record
[15:11] <yu> can i use chinese?
[15:11] <ThinkT510> !zh | yu
[15:11] <yu> thank you
[15:14] <quesada> bpuzzled: prob solved using sass from apt-get
[15:14] <bpuzzled> quesada: heh
[15:14] <bpuzzled> quesada: oh well. :)
[15:14] <quesada> thanks so much for your intense help :)
[15:15] <bpuzzled> no problem!
[15:15] <quesada> old, but should work
[15:15] <robinp> does the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel support the EFI stub loader by default ?
[15:16] <robinp> i.e. can I install it into an EFI computer without Grub 2
[15:16] <diensthunds> Trying to figure out why ubuntu can't be loaded from a nfs and tftp server, keep getting error messages about the kernel not being found. Have checked file permissions and the path to the kernel and everything is
[15:16] <quesada> bpuzzled: nooooooooo! installing Zurb foundation gem brings sass from gems!
[15:17] <quesada> and back to square 0
[15:17] <brandinhess> Hello
[15:17] <andrea_> could please somebody tell me how to restore compiz default in 12.10 ?  please, i'm doomed"
[15:18] <quesada> bpuzzled: shound I try using rvm?
[15:19] <riqdiiz> wat is compiz andrea?
[15:19] <andrea_> riqdiiz: what?
[15:20] <bpuzzled> quesada: maybe... I've never used rvm myself.
[15:21] <GraemeLion> Hi all, question: I use Chrome, but read that Chromium has the Webapps stuff... can I get that in chrome?  If not, is Chromium updated or is it lagging behind as usual?
[15:21] <brandinhess> riqdiiz: Compiz is a compositing window manager for the X window system.
[15:21] <Johnnybam> hi
[15:22] <brandinhess> hi
[15:22] <LordThumper> GraemeLion: Chromium is Chrome
[15:22] <morethananoise> hey, how can i run both unity and xfce on different tty? i want to run two users with x...
[15:22] <LordThumper> Without Flash and some other patented stuff
[15:22] <riqdiiz> compiz..I've never cin it be4 in the menu?
[15:22] <GraemeLion> LordThumper: Eh.  In the past, in Ubuntu, Chromium was not maintained or followed well
[15:23] <GraemeLion> I'm asking if the releases will be maintained better in the future, before I switch to it
[15:23] <brandinhess> riqdiiz: It isn't in the menu, it is embedded in the source code of the Linux operating system.
[15:23] <philinux> morethananoise: you can switch users as they choose the session at login
[15:23] <morethananoise> philinux: i know, but i want run them on different tty..
[15:23] <riqdiiz> does mean u reach it through term?
[15:24] <philinux> morethananoise: no idea then as the default session is set a login
[15:25] <morethananoise> philinux: there is such a problem, when i run lightdm on tty1, it starts on tty7, i need it to run on tty1..
[15:25] <philinux> morethananoise: tty 7 is the x session the others are not
[15:25] <brandinhess> riqdiiz: No, you don't reach it through your terminal, some distros reach it through their settings menu, if at all applicable. Otherwise, if something happens to your compiz settings, the easiest way to fix it is to create a new user.
[15:25] <GraemeLion> Like, for example, Chromium's version in Quantal is 22.0.1229.94.. that's a whole release behind Chrome.
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> morethananoise  what you want cannot be done
[15:25] <JediMaster> are there any regex experts about? I want to delete multiple lines from a file that starts with ^submenu(.*)$ then various lines, then ends with ^\}$ but it must be non-greedy with the end, any ideas?
[15:26] <morethananoise> MonkeyDust: okay, well.. thanks..
[15:26] <wlosio> Hi i've problem with Ubuntu. Whem im playing for 15 min i've frezzed screen and after 1-3 sec somethinglike Logout... and im must login again.
[15:26] <LordThumper> GraemeLion: Ye you are right
[15:27] <LordThumper> Any reason you are avoiding Chrome?
[15:27] <GraemeLion> LordThumper: Well, Chrome is fine.  But Chrome doesn't support the new Unity WebApps
[15:28] <LordThumper> I see
[15:29] <GraemeLion> So I'm weighing between losing a major Quantal feature, or losing a secure and up to date web browser
[15:29] <LordThumper> I don't think it is worth it to build the browser yourself
[15:30] <Johnnybam> Hello, I am having an issue with WICD freezing my machine, I found a work around but i need to disable it from trying to run at startup. Can anyone tell me how to edit the startup configuration or where it is located? im running backtrack 5
[15:30] <GraemeLion> Okay.
[15:36] <brun0> what package should i install to uncompress .7z files ?
[15:36] <brun0> ping
[15:37] <brun0> somebody ?
[15:37] <brandinhess> Yes
[15:37] <brun0> what package should i install to uncompress .7z files ?
[15:37] <tarzeau> 7z?
[15:37] <brun0> yep
[15:38] <kamidi> brun0: p7zip-full
[15:38] <brandinhess> Do you have an application called Archive Manager?
[15:38] <philinux> morethananoise: but you can do it via switch users
[15:38] <brandinhess> brun0: That is what I use to unzip those types of files.
[15:38] <brun0> kamidi, thanks
[15:39] <brun0> what command might i type to uncompress the file after install the package ?
[15:39] <researcher123> My firefox browser takes inifinte time to receive add-onns.What to do?
[15:39] <llutz> !backtrack | Johnnybam
[15:39] <brun0> kamidi, what command might i type to uncompress the file after install the package ?
[15:40] <kamidi> brun0: archive manager supports 7zip after you've installed p7zip-full
[15:40] <llutz> brun0: 7z e foo.7z
[15:40] <StFS> does anybody know of a way to make apt prefer a locally installed package rather than a package with the same version number from the repository?
[15:41] <brun0> llutz: thanks ;-)

[15:52] <Elesa> Magellanicus, mejor revisa #ubuntu-es xD
[15:52] <Magellanicus> si, me acabo de dar cuenta lo siento
[15:59] <Elesa> sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off <-- why do I have to type that on a terminal EVERY time I want to use this laptop on battery power? Ubuntu 12.04 running 3.2.0-30-generic-pae kernel
[16:00] <llutz> !info zbar
[16:00] <riqdiiz> does Ubuntu 12 cd come with sound drivers?
[16:01] <llutz> riqdiiz: yes
[16:03] <scarleo> Elesa, try creating /etc/pm/power.d/wireless just an empty file
[16:04] <riqdiiz> coz with ver 9.04 which I use now you have to struggle to the repos and down them llutz .
[16:04] <Elesa> okie :D
[16:04] <Elesa> thanks scarleo
[16:05] <llutz> riqdiiz: you might specify _what drivers exactly_ you need, ubuntu comes with drivers (but not all)
[16:05] <Elesa> it worked :D
[16:05] <Elesa> FINALLY!
[16:05] <Elesa> thank you so much!
[16:05] <FloodBot1> Elesa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:06] <scarleo> :D
[16:06] <riqdiiz> llutz and I've never bin successful since 2010 :-(
[16:07] <Elesa> I wonder why there is not a GUI setting to turn power management off
[16:07] <Elesa> or why that file is not there by default
[16:07] <scarleo> Elesa, because it's so easy to do without gui ;)
[16:08] <scarleo> different for different cards, guess you have broadcom?
[16:09] <Elesa> I think
[16:09] <seasharp> I was curious if I could get a hand..  Running Ubuntu 11.4. Everything ran fine, but I spilled a drink on my laptop last night and yanked the battery to keep anything from shorting.  When I rebooted, I can only boot in recovery console, then it boots to X fine, but the screen res maxes out at 1024 x 768 and will not let me get to native resolution.  Any suggestions?
[16:10] <philinux> Elesa:  did u have to type that in then use battery then restore wireless?
[16:10] <riqdiiz> what does this do?http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:11] <Elesa> no, like, when I disconnected the laptop from the charger Wi-Fi was EXTREMELY slow
[16:11] <Elesa> only after typing that to turn power management off it would run fine again
[16:12] <philinux> elesa oh pain indeed
[16:12] <Magellanicus> how do i deactivate the enters-quits display from pidgin
[16:13] <Magellanicus> pardon my english
[16:13] <philinux> riqdiiz: its for pasting up any text instead of flooding this chat room
[16:13] <Elesa> yes :c
[16:14] <dr_willis> Magellanicus: in the plugins/settings i belive
[16:14] <Walex> Elesa: the WiFi slowdown is probably power management reducing 'txpower' when on battery.
[16:14] <yello> why gray screen on VNC (connecting to ubuntu from ARM) :[................
[16:14] <dr_willis> yello:  vnc server may not be running a full desktop. or it may be its trying to use unity3d and failing
[16:15] <Elesa> yes, and it's really annoying.. I guess that's a bug
[16:15] <yello> oh, i had Lubuntu but i installed gnome, its not k? :{
[16:15] <Elesa> Magellanicus, creo que el plugin que buscas se llama IRC Helper
[16:15] <Walex> riqdiiz: the paste server allows you to put long text on a temporary place to send to other people
[16:15] <riqdiiz> even code?...Philinux
[16:15] <dr_willis> i install ubuntu,lubuntu,kubuntu.. vnc can be set to run different desktops
[16:15] <philinux> riqdiiz: indeed
[16:16] <Walex> Elesa: for the screen resolution issue try using 'xrandr' to see what kind of resolutions it finds
[16:16] <Elesa> riqdiiz, yeah, and it even highlights syntax xD
[16:16] <yello> so how i fix it?
[16:16] <dr_willis> for vnc its often best to use just a window2 manager, not a full desktop
[16:16] <yello> apt-get .. ?
[16:16] <yello> how
[16:16] <Magellanicus> ty
[16:16] <dr_willis> yello:  what vnc server are you using?
[16:16] <yello> vnc4server
[16:16] <Elesa> Walex, I think you mean seasharp, not me, but thanks for the tip anyway, I've had those problems on other machines :c
[16:17] <seasharp> thank you Walex  :)  Let me check now
[16:17] <Walex> ah yes <seasharp>
[16:17] <dr_willis> check the .vnc directory and configure vnc to run what desktop you want. you may want to set it to use openbox and open a terminal by default
[16:17] <philinux> Walex: i dont see this slow down but then again its an intel wireless n
[16:18] <Walex> it depends a lot on power saving configuration and how advanced the chipset driver is.
[16:18] <yello> what should i change in xstartup ?
[16:18] <Walex> whether it is automatic or not.
[16:18] <seasharp> Walex, it only shows 800x600, 1024x768 ...  xrandr: failed to get size of gamma for output default
[16:18] <yello> i dont know the commands..
[16:19] <yello> and i dont want openbox, i want current:{ possible?
[16:19] <Elesa> should I file a bug or something?
[16:19] <Walex> seasharp: sometimes it works to switch to a console and back so the X server sometimes rereads the list of resolutions from the screen.
[16:19] <dr_willis> yello start a terminal, and a minimal window manager. 2 lines like 'xterm &'  and 'exec openbox'  then kill any running vnc sessions and restart them
[16:19] <Elesa> it happened in Natty too
[16:19] <dr_willis> yello start small, work your way up
[16:19] <seasharp> Gotcha Walex, I will see what I can get done here.  Thanks!
[16:20] <yello> okok, so i add those 2 lines in terminal or in xstartup?
[16:20] <brandinhess> This channel seems to be quite lively this morning.
[16:20] <Walex> seasharp: otherwise you can add the missing resolutions with the '--newmode' and '--addmode' options to 'xrandr'.
[16:20] <dr_willis> the xstartup file defines what desktop the vncserver starts...
[16:20] <anykey> http://superuser.com/questions/502766/ubuntu-12-10-amd64-and-google-hangout-talkplugin I'd be thankful if someone would be inclined to help me track down the problem.
[16:20] <yello> yes? hehe:[
[16:21] <Walex> seasharp: there are several 'xrandr' GUI frontends, can't remember which ones allow adding modes dynamically
[16:21] <tada> hello, I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 lts, but the installer boot menu wont even run correctly, it freezes
[16:21] <dr_willis> use your brains..  they go in the xstartup file like ive been saying..  i dont know what yoy mean by 'in terminal'
[16:21] <seasharp> I will do some searching..  This is my first Linux install with X; usually just had Slackware boxes in the past
[16:21] <tada> what do I need to do?
[16:22] <yello> i tried exec openbox in terminal.. i did not understand your message:[ but ok, xstartp, sec...

Right now, if I copy anything from or to server, the process takes ALL network bandwidth and blocks even directly listing on any filemanager and any other machines. What is a way to implement Quality of Service for NFS, or simply to prevent single NFS operation from blocking others. This is not happening with Samba.
[16:24] <yello> wow.. im sorry being nob, but nothing happened:þ...
[16:24] <dr_willis> did you reasart the vnc servers?
[16:24] <dr_willis> restart
[16:24] <escott> ashel, i would put limits in iptables im sure it can restrict bandwith by port
[16:24] <yello> oh
[16:24] <yello> no..
[16:25] <dr_willis> xstartup is ran then the vncserver starts up...
[16:25] <yello> okokok sec...
[16:26] <dr_willis> kill the existing vncserver with the vncserver -kill option (i think) befor restarting it. or you can have several vnc sessions going
[16:26] <Walex> ashel: interesting question...
[16:26] <ashel> escott: is every operation using different ports? I am curious, because I never saw anything like the problem I have when googling. Right now, for example, if I copy anything, all filemanagers, including MC are grayed out/blocked completely.
[16:26] <yello> wait a sec, if i can do & xterm, cant i do & wine Tibia.exe ? its all i need:]
[16:26] <ashel> after the copying operation is done, they all become unblocked.
[16:27] <jonathonf> Hi. Troubles logging in -> log in, X quits, return to GDM. LightDM doesn't start at all, I presume it's an issue getting information from my profile
[16:27] <Walex> ashel: most likely that has nothing to do with NFS or networking. Odds are that you have the wrong flusher and/or elevator parameters on the filetree.
[16:27] <jonathonf> Which logs should I look at?
[16:27] <escott> ashel, you must be doing a syncronous write
[16:27] <Walex> ashel: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/818261 for similar cases
[16:27] <SnowmanX11> Hi Guys! I have been effected by the bug in 12.04, because DVD is not automounted. Does somebody know a workaround? (It is definetly not a hardware error. It is tested.)
[16:28] <tada> I relaly need help
[16:28] <ashel> Walex: could you suggest the parameters? I use "-o defaults,soft,fg" on client side.
[16:29] <yello> xterm works..
[16:29] <ashel> Walex: I will try the async option, thank you for this!
[16:29] <Walex> ashel: <escott> pointed out an interesting detail: by default NFS does sync writes, for safety, and if you don't configure the filesystem and storage layer right you get high latency.
[16:29] <Walex> ashel: however the 'async' option is very dangerous indeed.
[16:30] <Walex> ashel: you should use it only if you understand it very well, and you know you don't mind the side effects.
[16:30] <dr_willis> yello: so it seems to be working. tweak it az you need
[16:30] <ashel> Walex: But why is Samba not having this problem? Many clients can easily access the filetree and perform operations without being blocked.
[16:31] <yello> thanks, if i dont get it working I BE BACK... :[
[16:31] <Walex> ashel: that's another interesting question. My guess is that either file accesses with Samba are not happening as fast as NFS can do them, or Samba is configured for async writing.
[16:31] <ztane> anyone having skype login problems?
[16:32] <ashel> Walex: Async may mean that I loose packets if bad connections or buffer overflows happen, and thus loose data or leave filesystem damaged if the target machine is abruptlly powered down.
[16:32] <aiRfLy> hi
[16:32] <ztane> for some reason my skype login on ubuntu does not work but works in windows
[16:33] <ashel> Walex: Thank you, I will invistigate. ;)
[16:33] <qouzi> Hey i've installed steam on ubuntu, but when i type steam in terminal i get this msg: Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866_client)
[16:33] <ztane> that is works in vmware guest xp but does not work on ubuntu...
[16:33] <Walex> ashel: mostly the loss in case of power loss or system crash.
[16:34] <Walex> ashel: probably you like everybody else should switch to have around 100MB as the value of 'vm.dirty_ratio_bytes' and to 'deadline' as the disk elevator.
[16:34] <Walex> where 100MB really is "about 1 second of storage layer bandwidth".
[16:37] <escott> ashel, Walex, reading through the NFS docs... i wouldn't recommend setting async on the server... this seems more like a client issue. the client should be doing async actions, but is evidently doing sync actions (so the write has to finish before the reads can be queued. there is a server async option but that just means that in the presence of a sync request from the client the server out and out lies to the client claiming its done
[16:37] <escott> when it isnt
[16:38] <Zigzag> https://www.facebook.com/NeoSpace.San.Jose
[16:38] <Zigzag> check it guys
[16:38] <anykey> does anyone have quantal running on amd64 and can videochat on google hangout?
[16:38] <roasudy> what?
[16:38] <Walex> escott: right, the server async option should almost never be enabled, the client one might be enabled, if one knows the applications issue 'fsync' at the right times.

[16:42] <cladmi> I got an issue trying to customize a live-cd, I solved it and I don't know where to report it
[16:42] <n-iCe> hello, is there any way to select just all the text in a opt presentation on oppenoffice impress? thanks
[16:42] <Elesa> OpenOffice..? I thought it was called LibreOffice now
[16:43] <Elesa> you mean all the text on the whole presentation?
[16:43] <cladmi> When I installed "virtual box guest additions" the user created by guest additions uses the UID 999, which breaks casper boot as it tries to create a user with uid 999
[16:43] <escott> Elesa, there are two projects. Libre is GPL, Open is Apache.
[16:44] <Elesa> but they are the same, right?
[16:44] <Elesa> or is one better than the other?
[16:44] <cladmi> The thing is, the chosen "uid" is not dynamic, and the documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[16:45] <cladmi> says "After customization make sure that there are no users with an UID >  999. Otherwise your image won't boot because no initial user is  available (see  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser)."
[16:45] <escott> Elesa, they are different. its a license fork and code can't go between the two. some of the big corporate interests (ie Oracle) are behind Open, but much of the community is behind Libre. Libre is shipped with ubuntu-desktop
[16:45] <roasudy> Hellow , I am fisrt come here .
[16:45] <under> Hi, when i go to extract, in a zip, a dir with a name that contains oriental chars, I get this error: caution: filename not matched:  D\-\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?/DSCF8351.JPG
[16:48] <escott> under, where did you make the zip and what filesystem are you trying to unzip onto
[16:49] <under> escott: my chinese friend sent me this zip that contains a dir (witch chinese chars) and in this dir some jpg.
[16:51] <atouk_> Hello, someone to help me with my / directory full?
[16:53] <zykotick9> atouk_: "sudo apt-get clean" will clear the downloaded DEB cache, might give you some room?
[16:53] <food> I am using xps l502x core i7 and ubuntu 12.10 ... Is my Laptop's fan is moving in full speed?
[16:53] <SnowmanX11> Hi Guys! I have been effected by the bug in 12.04, because DVD is not automounted. Does somebody know a workaround? (It is definetly not a hardware error. It is tested.)
[16:54] <tada> I can't install ubuntu, I need help
[16:54] <SnowmanX11> tada: specifically?
[16:54] <tada> SnowmanX11: I also have an issue with 12.04, the install boot menu is freezing up
[16:55] <tada> I see the install boot menu screen but I can't choose anything, and I dont know why
[16:55] <tada> sometimes I hear a loud peep by trying it again
[16:55] <SnowmanX11> tada: did you try the compatibility of hw through livecd?
[16:55] <SnowmanX11> tada
[16:55] <tada> compaibility of hw? What's hw?
[16:55] <tada> ?
[16:56] <escott> SnowmanX11, what is the output of "groups"
[16:56] <SnowmanX11> tada: many people have problem with video card driver vs new xorg
[16:56] <tada> I had ubuntu 10.x before
[16:56] <SnowmanX11> escott: snowmanx11 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[16:56] <SnowmanX11> tada
[16:57] <SnowmanX11> tada: try 12.04 first
[16:57] <tada> ubuntu said my old 10.x release wont be supported anymore, that's why I tried to install 12.04 lts
[16:57] <tada> but I did Snow
[16:57] <SnowmanX11> tada: this an LTS and have lots of support
[16:57] <tada> I tried, it freezes up
[16:57] <SnowmanX11> tada: ok, I tought that was 12.10
[16:58] <escott> SnowmanX11, that looks fine. when you put the DVD in what is the output of "mount"
[16:58] <atouk_> zykotick9, sorry, but i think i found the problem. I installed again ubuntu 11.04 because 12.04 or 12.10 didn't match with my computer. Then i think i did a mistake with the partition, i've got only 8GB instead of 80... Thank you! (Sorry for my english,i'm french :D)
[16:58] <SnowmanX11> tada: try live cd and test hardware
[16:58] <yello> yo:{ , i cannot start in xstartup vnc file lxterminal with exec openbox & lxterminal.. and i cannot do wine Tibia.exe.. what should i do :[
[16:58] <SnowmanX11> escott: nothing regarding to cdrom
[16:58] <yello> all gray still..
[16:58] <tada> SnowmanX11: this is a netbook and it does not have a cd-drive, I have to do this by usb
[16:59] <dr_willis> yello: exec whatever    should be the last line....
[16:59] <SnowmanX11> escott: if I use k3b than everything is correctly mounted and able to eject
[16:59] <SnowmanX11> esco
[16:59] <escott> SnowmanX11, does udisks --mount /dev/sr0 mount the dvd
[16:59] <dr_willis> yello other    commands &       go befor it.
[16:59] <tada> right now I'm formatting my usb stick again, maybe it's an issue with my usb stick
[16:59] <Windy> http://www.ubuntu.com
[16:59] <SnowmanX11> escott: sometimes the mount work and dvd starts, but it is very rare
[16:59] <SnowmanX11> tada: usb is just fine to try "livecd"
[16:59] <ashel> Walex, escott: Thank you very much. I have ressolved the case fairly quick now, after you indicated that its client mount issue. This is not kernel issue, because SMB performs good. The true reason is the client mount options. First "-o defaults" does not work or is ignored by the system. Second, lowering write speed and highering read speed remove the blockade "wsize=8192,rsize=16384" - the write speed for 1Gbit link to server is still in
[16:59] <ashel> 100MiB range, but there is no blockade anymore. But adding option "nolock" futher improved responsibility, so that the final mount options are "-o rw,soft,nolock,wsize=8192,rsize=16384" and they work VERY well - 30 parallel transfers of large file quantities in both directions and I can view a video at same time directly from server. Thank you!!
[16:59] <yello> okay
[17:00] <dr_willis> nothing runs after the exec....
[17:00] <SnowmanX11> escott: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[17:01] <SnowmanX11> escott: this is what I get usually
[17:01] <escott> SnowmanX11, try /dev/dvd not sure what the device is
[17:01] <food> I don't have now any(big) problem with 12.10 on XPS 12.10... I am really happy that my computer is not freezing after 24 hours
[17:01] <Walex> ashel: that is not the write/read speed, but the read/write transaction size. If a larger one was causing problems then you probably have a network packet loss issue that was causing reassembly.
[17:01] <SnowmanX11> escott: same with dvd cdrom etc...
[17:02] <SnowmanX11> escott: it is a known bug in 12.04
[17:02] <under> Hi, when i go to extract, in a zip, a dir with a name that contains oriental chars, I get this error: caution: filename not matched:  D\-\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?/DSCF8351.JPG
[17:02] <escott> SnowmanX11, ok. then follow the bug report i guess
[17:02] <SnowmanX11> escott: I had a well working 12.04. I have upgraded to 12.10 but it failed due to ATI vs new Xorg issue. Downgraded to 12.04 have this bug
[17:03] <SnowmanX11> escott: bug reports are not guiding
[17:03] <bobboau_> ok, so back to my question about nodes and links
[17:03] <bobboau_> I have this: http://pastebin.com/tBMBpWBV
[17:03] <bobboau_> oh, crap wrong window
[17:04] <bobboau_> sorry
[17:05] <Walex> under: most likely a character set mismatch. GNU/Linux distributions use UTF-8, many east asian countries use local characters sets/encodings.
[17:05] <under> Walex: ok, so?
[17:06] <Walex> under: you have to figure out which character set used to encode file paths in the ZIP, and then convert them to UTF-8.
[17:07] <yello> yoyo, i got terminal working in openbox.. but i cannot start wine game, why?
[17:07] <under> Walex: omg, in windows and with winrar I dont have such as this issues.
[17:07] <tada> I decided to give fedora a try
[17:07] <yello> ok, now it says "video allocation failed" :[
[17:08] <sarutahiko> I created a new wireless connection in the network manager but there doesn't seem to be a way to connect to it.  how do i select it for connection?
[17:08] <BrianBlaze> tada hows that going?
[17:09] <escott> under, you might also try enabling codepages in your locale if they are not enabled
[17:09] <Walex> under: alternatively switch temporarily the locale to the same character set as the ZIP file, and then use 'convmv' to convert the filenames to UTF-8.
[17:09] <SnowmanX11> escott: any other idea?
[17:09] <tada> BrianBlaze: I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 but the install boot menu freezes up, people suggest to try a live-cd, but how can I try this when I still can't access the install boot menu?
[17:10] <BrianBlaze> you hit f12 (or whatever to change the boot order)with a boot cd in the drive
[17:11] <tada> I keep telling, I see the ubuntu install boot screen
[17:11] <tada> but it freezes up
[17:11] <tada> I hit f12, I choose usb-fdd, I see the ubuntu install boot screen, and that's it
[17:11] <sarutahiko> does anyone know how to connect to a custom wireless connection (edit connections ... wireless ... add+ ...)?  It's not showing up in the connection list.
[17:11] <BrianBlaze> but it freezes...
[17:11] <BrianBlaze> I would make the usb again
[17:12] <BrianBlaze> see if that fixes it
[17:12] <escott> sarutahiko, you mean your router is configured not to broadcast?
[17:12] <yello> ey, how do i start x window manager in VNC (terminal) without making other screen change? if i write startx, the other screen logs into x window manager.
[17:12] <tada> I tried to make the usb again, same results
[17:12] <BrianBlaze> I have made bootable usb's that didn't work and I end up making them again and then they do
[17:12] <yello> plz
[17:12] <BrianBlaze> damn..
[17:12] <tada> yeah
[17:12] <tada> one said it's because of the new x server
[17:12] <sarutahiko> escott: it is. but there are a bunch of different access points and I need to make a custom connection to select the strongest BSSID since my wireless card jumps around and can't maintain a connection.
[17:13] <tada> if this is the case, I can't use ubuntu anyhow anymore
[17:13] <yello> any 1know ?
[17:13] <BrianBlaze> is it a 64 bit on a 32 bit computer?
[17:13] <tada> 32 bit
[17:13] <escott> sarutahiko, you can do it with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant... not sure how to restrict things with network manager though
[17:13] <yello> byeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks for not replying :[
[17:14] <sarutahiko> escott: In the edit or make new connection window there is a space for BSSID.  So I put in the BSSID I wanted but now I can't select the connectinon that I made.  If you can add connectinons shouldn't there be a way to select them?
[17:14] <tada> the idea behind this is, if I get the same issue with fedora or other distries, then it's probably because the usb stick is broken or a part of my hardware
[17:15] <n-iCe> is this new ubuntu the fastest one? is it true?
[17:15] <rumpe1> n-iCe, it's also the newest
[17:15] <tada> n-iCe: always depends always on your hardware
[17:18] <riqdiiz> tada check  your hd terminals if intact  boot order to fdd &reboot
[17:19] <tada> riqdiiz: ok
[17:19] <riqdiiz> if it doesn't then it has to be the 64  ,32 bit mentioned above.
[17:20] <CarterMcArthur> Hi can someone tell me how to properly use gparted. I searchgoogle and found no good way to use it.
[17:20] <tada> riqdiiz: what do you mean with 32/64?
[17:20] <crismblog> seara bună
[17:21] <tada> I'm pretty sure it's a 32bit system
[17:21] <tsaknorris> How i can install "wobbly windows" on 12.04.1 Ubuntu. I installed compiz-config-manager but it doesn't work? :/
[17:22] <CarterMcArthur> i"m trying to reformat a HDD and need help on how to use gparted?
[17:22] <riqdiiz> you are installing 32 bit  64bit os / hw mismatch
[17:22] <CarterMcArthur> A 1 tetrabyte Drive:-D
[17:22] <compdoc> CarterMcArthur, have you booted from gparted, or are you just running it in ubuntu?
[17:23] <tada> riqdiiz: freezes up again, tried to change the boot order, usb-fdd is now first
[17:23] <CarterMcArthur> booted from gpatred
[17:23] <compdoc> so whats the problem?
[17:23] <hilo> hello
[17:24] <CarterMcArthur> I,m trying to format the drive but can't find the right directions!!!
[17:24] <hilo> I have a raid5 linuxraid setup and I believe a drive is dying. Can anyone point me in the right direction for looking deeper into the cause of what's going on?
[17:24] <escott> CarterMcArthur, do you know what you want the partition layout to be?
[17:24] <CarterMcArthur> ext4
[17:24] <compdoc> select the drive from the pull down list, select the existing partition if any, and delete. add a new partition
[17:24] <hilo> The system sometimes hangs at boot, and last night one of the member drives fell out of sync (but has since rebuilt and everything looks normal)
[17:25] <escott> hilo, check the smart status in the disk utils or smartctl
[17:25] <compdoc> then click the green checkmark to apply
[17:25] <escott> CarterMcArthur, thats a partition format, not a partition layout. partitioning splits the large disk into parts for different purposes. formatting prepares those parts for storing data
[17:25] <hilo> escott, How can I do that from cli?
[17:26] <escott> !info smartmon-tools | hilo
[17:26] <CarterMcArthur> partiton layout to use the full drive.
[17:26] <escott> !info smartmontools | hilo
[17:26] <compdoc> CarterMcArthur, is that not what you want?
[17:26] <CarterMcArthur> I guess I can use ntfs for using windows?
[17:27] <hilo> escott, thanks
[17:27] <mouser> Running 12.04 64bit, trying to increase the speed of my mouse's scroll wheel. Was able to do this in Firefox but looking for a way to do the same on a whole system level. Main painpoint is annoyingly slow scrolling in the text editor Sublime Text 2. Anyone had a similar problem?
[17:27] <CarterMcArthur> Well I guess.just need the right instructions to get it done or shall I say simple instructionsO:-).
[17:28] <escott> hilo, and then you need smartctl --all /dev/sdX
[17:28] <tempspace> Is anybody aware of any issues installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 on the new Sandy Bridge-EP processors?
[17:28] <Shinobi> I have a problem where I can view a file on my debian server, but when I mount my smb share to my ubuntu laptop it cant access it. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[17:28] <escott> CarterMcArthur, hard to give instructions when we dont know what you want to do. sounds like you want two partitions
[17:28] <escott> CarterMcArthur, but you click on the gray unallocated part of the disk, and create a new partition and select a filesystem type to put in that partition
[17:29] <CarterMcArthur> yes half for ubuntu 11.04 and windows7.
[17:29] <escott> CarterMcArthur, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html
[17:30] <escott> Shinobi, who owns the file and what permissions is the samba server running with
[17:32] <xbskid> If I have 16GB RAM, what size swap space should I use? Would 2GB be sufficient?
[17:32] <hilo> escott, Okay, I did that, alot of stuff output but I am not really sure how to read it. Are there any signs to look for specifically? It passed the overall health self assessment.
[17:32] <llutz> xbskid: if you don't plan to use hibernation, yes
[17:32] <xbskid> llutz: Thank you
[17:33] <escott> hilo, you could paste it to us if you want an interpretation. paste.ubuntu.com
[17:36] <riqdiiz> escort how do you get to the pasted info on that  paste. Ubuntu.com?
[17:36] <escott> riqdiiz, after submission paste the generated url here
[17:36] <hilo> escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1343063/ Output from smartctl -all
[17:37] <escott> hilo, looks good
[17:38] <delac> can I somehow dismiss "the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates" dialog?
[17:38] <jpds> delac: Right-click the icon on the left-hand side and close it from there.
[17:39] <delac> I thought these kind of things were thing of the past with XP...
[17:39] <delac> jpds: no icon
[17:39] <delac> jpds: and the close option is greyed out
[17:39] <hilo> escott, I'm not sure what is causing the drive to fall out of sync. If I switch the ports which member drives are connected to, will the linuxraid have any issues assembling it? I am thinking I can switch the location with another member drive to test that port.
[17:39] <escott> delac, it only tells you that when a new kernel is installed or some other major system software changes (like libc)
[17:40] <jpds> delac: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1033226
[17:40] <bobweaver> delac,  check dconf-editor
[17:40] <bobweaver> it has to be passed that way
[17:40] <escott> hilo, the ports should not matter... the device will change its address sdh to sde for example, but everything is accessed by UUID
[17:41] <bobweaver> I will look delac
[17:41] <tsaknorris> i ask again :P. How i can install "wobbly windows" on 12.04.1 Ubuntu. I installed compiz-config-manager but it doesn't work? :/
[17:41] <delac> jpds: too bad I'm using gnome desktop...
[17:41] <Shinobi> escott: not sure. I'll check, it's funny it's only 1 file...
[17:41] <delac> jpds: well, luckily xkill is still installed :)
[17:42] <escott> tsaknorris, in what way does it not work
[17:42] <Walex> tsaknorris: depending on which desktop environment you use you just enable special effects...
[17:42] <Walex> tsaknorris: or you replace the current window manager with 'compiz'.
[17:42] <tsaknorris> escott, lightdm (everything is default)
[17:43] <Walex> tsaknorris: the LightDM window manager whatever that is may now support special effects.
[17:43] <tsaknorris> if i can get wobbly windows some other way i can remove compiz-config-manager
[17:43] <escott> tsaknorris, um....
[17:43] <Shinobi> escott: I'm the owner of the file.  I don't think the smb server user is a problem as all the other files have the same owner/group and has never been a problem
[17:43] <Walex> tsaknorris: also, it is sort of inconsistent to use LightDM and then enabled heavy-duty special effects...
[17:43] <escott> !work | tsaknorris we need to know what happens when you open ccsm... are you not seeing the option for wobbly windows, or are you enabling the option and it has no effect? what is it
[17:44] <hilo> escott, thanks, I will try that to rule out the port/enclosure causing the issue.
[17:44] <anykey> how would I set env variables per user on login, like PATH?
[17:44] <tsaknorris> ubottu, im enabling it and nothing happens
[17:44] <escott> anykey, those are usually set in .bashrc
[17:44] <escott> tsaknorris, are you running compiz?
[17:44] <anykey> escott: I log in graphically, and want the vars known on desktop
[17:44] <escott> anykey, thats different... not sure how that works
[17:45] <delac> bobweaver: did you manage to find anything in the dconf?
[17:45] <anykey> escott: well then thanks anyway
[17:45] <bobweaver> still looking and chatting on other channels also delac
[17:45] <tsaknorris> escott i just installed that compiz-config-manager package and im running lightdm. like i said everything is default. 1 hour ago i installed that package
[17:46] <bobweaver> I am betting that you can disable the thing all-together  but where is dbus for that I have no clue
[17:46] <escott> tsaknorris, you aren't running lightdm. lightdm is the display manager. are you selecting unity or unity-2d at the login. in the process manager is the "compiz" process running?
[17:46] <anykey> escott: superuser has a posting suggesting ~/.profile. I will try that.
[17:46] <tsaknorris> escott, nope no compiz process
[17:46] <escott> anykey, i dont think that would work either. you could try it... but i dont think any of those get parsed
[17:47] <escott> tsaknorris, so if compiz isn't running (ie you are using metacity as your window manager) then compiz settings arent going to matter.
[17:47] <escott> tsaknorris, you need to (a) figure out what kind of graphics card you have (b) install the drivers for the graphics card (c) logout and select the unity-3d session which is just called "unity"
[17:48] <tsaknorris> escott, ok i will restart X... maybe that helps. compiz is installed tho. so i have to enabled it then first.
[17:48] <anykey> escott: it does work.
[17:48] <anykey> just tried.
[17:48] <escott> anykey, how did you test that?
[17:48] <anykey> I logged out and in again
[17:49] <escott> anykey, yes, but how did you examine the environment from the gui
[17:49] <anykey> ah. I hit alt+f2 and my PATH is available from appfinder now.
[17:49] <tsaknorris> escott, "compiz --replace" <-- that maybe helps :)
[17:49] <anykey> and it wasn't before.
[17:50] <anykey> my PATH contains scripts in ~/bin and ~/.screenlayout
[17:50] <escott> anykey, ok cool. never knew those were parsed
[17:50] <anykey> so if those only work from terminal, I am a bit upset. I want these to work from Alt+F2.
[17:50] <bobweaver> delac,  http://imagebin.org/235155
[17:51] <anykey> escott: I have joined the Ubuntu crowd *today* so I have learn many new things.
[17:51] <anykey> s/have/have to/
[17:52] <anykey> almost everything works. Just google hangout is left, and I get absolutely nothing on that. It seems that not even audio works.
[17:52] <Walex> anykey: audio is a difficult topic because there are very many variants of very many audio chipsets, so drivers have to match exactly the right variant.
[17:53] <Walex> anykey: often the best way to solve audio issue is to get a USB "soundcard".
[17:53] <gordonjcp> yeah
[17:53] <anykey> oh all the rest of the audio works. Ask my neighbors if they can hear my music.
[17:53] <gordonjcp> Intel chipsets are *awful* in Linux
[17:53] <anykey> no the problem is solely with google-talkplugin
[17:54] <gordonjcp> no two implementations of the Intel HDA chipset are wired up the same
[17:54] <anykey> even skype works
[17:54] <xxiao> i'm having issues with a nvidia video card, is there a way for me to use some standard setting instead/ for now i don't care about the best video performance
[17:54] <xxiao> anything that give me a login window will be fine, any params to set on grub?
[17:55] <yello> how does vnc work.. if i startx on client it starts on server.. if i do in vnc server settings "exec startx" or "startx" only gray window.. :[
[17:57] <ztane> anykey: skype works? my skype couldnt log in for 2 hours :D
[17:57] <anykey> I am on skype right now
[17:57] <ztane> i was on then i plugged my webcam in
[17:57] <xxiao> what does linux_gfx_mode = text mean?
[17:57] <fuzzeh> same here
[17:57] <delac> bobweaver: thanks, but that description is very odd. what are these notification hooks and media detected things?
[17:57] <ztane> closed it restarted and now it does not accept my login anymore, even though works in vmware xp :(
[17:57] <escott> xxiao, that is for the early boot.
[17:58] <bobweaver> delac,  Do you know what dconf-editor purpose is ?
[17:58] <delac> bobweaver: yes?
[17:58] <yello> PLZ.
[17:58] <bobweaver> delac,  so it controls how dbus is running right ?  the settings for the services that it is running on.
[17:58] <xxiao> escott: i'm booting over usb-stick, trying to change grub.cfg in hard-drive to bypass the video card setting
[17:58] <delac> bobweaver: or did you mean that hide-reboot-notification option?
[17:59] <anykey> but I figure if skype works with both voice and cam, the problem is solely on the GTalk side...
[17:59] <escott> !nomodeset | xxiao
[17:59] <xxiao> escott: say, to set it a sub-optimal mode and see if it boots
[17:59] <xxiao> ubottu: thank you bot, i tried nomodeset already
[18:00] <bobweaver> Oh I see what you are saying and yeah I could have been more to the point but like I said I am chatting it up on other channels and should have been more clear. I am sorry that I did not take the time to write it all out just busy packaging things and trying to get thing into debian so it can make way to Ubuntu
[18:00] <bobweaver> delac,
[18:00] <bobweaver> ^^^^
[18:02] <delac> bobweaver: ok, thanks. I try these out and see what they do
[18:02] <escott> xxiao, not sure why with nomodeset you would need to change the text mode
[18:02] <bobweaver> delac,  you can just make it so it never shows up ?
[18:03] <delac> bobweaver: well I think that no-show-notifications does just that. I hope.
[18:03] <bobweaver> delac,  there is one way to find out :)
[18:04] <bobweaver> other way would be to google it or ask about dbus setting here trism  is real good at that
[18:04] <delac> bobweaver: sory, wrong one. I hope it's the hide-reboot-notification.
[18:04] <AndyRez> ..
[18:04] <AndyRez> testing irssi
[18:04] <bobweaver> delac,  sounds about right but I would do more research

[18:08] <joseangel> hello!
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> alguien is spanish, not italian
[18:10] <NotLarry> I did a reboot -n on ubuntu 11.04 server this morning and now I get "ALERT! /dev/mapper/MachineName-root does not exist" and a busybox, initramfs prompt.  Raid array, which checks out at boot.  Nothing strange has happened (i applied not updates or installs) and the system had already rebooted twice today.  Can someone point me to what is going on?  No encrypted drives  or directories.  and ls /dev/mapper/ shows a link to ../dm-0 whi
[18:10] <a_> hello
[18:10] <a_> someone know a chanel of ubuntu in spanish
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> NotLarry  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> a_  #ubuntu-es
[18:11] <a_> thakyou monkeydust
[18:11] <NotLarry> k, thanks
[18:11] <escott> NotLarry, it cannot find the LVM root
[18:12] <NotLarry> escott.  Cool, that is info i can use.
[18:12] <nishttal2> hello ppl.. how do i install kernel source? nvidia driver wont install without that
[18:13] <escott> NotLarry, you might verify that the LVM module is loaded/available in the initramfs. try booting the old kernel to see if that works. if it does then i would bet its because the module needs to be added to the initramfs
[18:13] <NotLarry> I'm lost in intramfs
[18:13] <exiff> Hallo hallo.
[18:14] <exiff> How do i automatically mount sshfs at log in?
[18:14] <escott> NotLarry, update-initramfs reads stuff from /etc including /etc/modules and creates an initial read-only system to put in /boot so that the system can start prior to the / drive being available
[18:14] <trism> nishttal2: just need the headers, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r);
[18:15] <nishttal2> trism.. thanks a lot.. that worked
[18:17] <t4b> New Humble Indie Bundle. :-)
[18:17] <escott> exiff, put the mount command in your gnome-session-properties would be my suggestion
[18:17] <root_> ok i just installed backtrack 5r3 gnome and Im having problem finding my graphics driver I have a at hd 7770  and I'm running 64bit
[18:18] <escott> !backtrack | root_
[18:18] <exiff> Where are the gnome-session properties?
[18:18] <escott> exiff, its a program "gnome-session-properties"
[18:18] <root_> any help greatly appreciated
[18:19] <exiff> escott, the sshfs needs a password though, how do i give it?
[18:19] <escott> exiff, you should use auth keys
[18:19] <escott> exiff, ssh-keygen; ssh-copy-id username@remote
[18:20] <k1l_> root_: first, backtrack is not supported here. try the backtrack support. then irc as root is not a good idea. dont run every program as root. use a user
[18:22] <exiff> escott,it's asking me to enter a file in which to save the key
[18:22] <root_> everyt ime I click on additional drivers it reply's no proprietary drivers are in use on this system????
[18:22] <escott> exiff, just press enter
[18:22] <k1l_> !backtrack > root_
[18:23] <k1l_> !rootirc > root_
[18:23] <exiff> escott, it's finished doing its thing.. what happens now?
[18:23] <escott> exiff, ssh-copy-id username@remote
[18:24] <escott> exiff, then verify it works by running "ssh username@remote"
[18:24] <exiff> AH!  :D
[18:25] <exiff> Will i need to enter the passphrase for the key everytime though escott?
[18:26] <escott> exiff, a few other nice options to consider adding to your ~/.ssh/config are ControlMaster auto, ControlPath/ControlPersist and Compression yes
[18:26] <Faux> nope, once you copy your rsa key over, it should log you in automatically
[18:26] <escott> exiff, if you password protected the key then yes you would have to enter the password to unwrap the key
[18:26] <escott> in your usage i would no bother to password protect the key
[18:26] <exiff> If i want to remove password protection?
[18:27] <escott> exiff, just create a new key with ssh-keygen
[18:27] <xxiao> escott: is there something like telinit 2 under ubuntu that gives me a text mode ubuntu?
[18:27] <xxiao> i don't care about the GUI for now
[18:27] <escott> xxiao, you can just set "text" in the boot line
[18:28] <MikeSeth> I can't find the source package for kernel-image-3.5.0-17-generic, what am I missing?
[18:28] <exiff> Will do that... \o thank you and \o/ thank you escott.
[18:28] <MikeSeth> er, linux-image
[18:29] <exiff> I'll go look into the other options now..  thanks again
[18:29] <MikeSeth> oh nvm..
[18:30] <Foca_> What download manager i can use in text mode ?
[18:30] <erncic> xxiao: you could sudo service gdm stop
[18:31] <Foca_> There a possibility of install JDownloader in ubuntu-server ?
[18:33] <ix_> the sound does not work on an acer emachines e644, it seems that it has 2 sound devices, one for hdmi, one for speakers
[18:34] <escott> ix_, thats normal
[18:34] <ix_> ok, escott, but sound does not come out
[18:34] <escott> ix_, the having two devices that is
[18:36] <escott> ix_, you need to tell us a bit more about sound not working
[18:37] <masterchief160> hello
[18:37] <brandinhess> hi
[18:37] <masterchief160> how are u?
[18:38] <ix_> escott, one is radeon hd 6250, I've put in grub radeon.audio=1 but no chnge
[18:38] <masterchief160> bye
[18:38] <escott> ix_, well what are you trying to output the sound to
[18:39] <ix_> escott, to the integrated speakers, I have not tried the headphone jack
[18:39] <escott> ix_, and what is selected in the sound settings device section
[18:39] <xxiao> escott: adding text helped, thanks!
[18:40] <ix_> escott, in alsamixer?
[18:41] <escott> ix_, no the pulseaudio gui
[18:41] <ix_> escott, it's lubuntu 12.10
[18:42] <escott> ix_, well i dont know how you do anything with that
[18:43] <ix_> escott, I'll install it, then
[18:43] <fade_> hey does anyone know anything about finite state machines
[18:43] <hilo> does anyone know any good RDP servers that support sending the sound to the remote client?
[18:43] <ix_> escott, I've installed pulse audio, what now
[18:43] <hilo> Or it could be another protocol, but RDP is the only one I know that has some sound support mechanism built in.
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> ix_: are you just wanting to crank the volume?
[18:44] <ix_> ActionParsnip, the sound does not work
[18:44] <escott> ix_, if you just installed pulse then i have no idea what your sound server was so....
[18:44] <ix_> escott, alsa ws the sound server
[18:44] <ix_> was
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> ix_: 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
[18:45] <xxiao> escott: is is the right syntax to limit my memory to 2G under grub: mem=2G ?
[18:45] <escott> xxiao, i have no idea what that kernel parameter would do
[18:45] <ix_> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6f1ec8b7af36f59acf13dc1e04140ca95216fff0
[18:45] <Surras> hy guys, hope someone can help me with my problem (first, my english is not the best, cause I'm from germany). Here is my prob: I've got one Hard Disk with 3 Partitions. On 2 of them are Windows-OS installed. When I try to install ubuntu on the third, ubuntu said "there no other Operating systems. Delete the whole Disk?"
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> ix_: are you using HDMI or regularspeakers?
[18:46] <ix_> ActionParsnip, regular speakers
[18:46] <Faux> Surras, is that third partition "unallocated"?
[18:46] <ix_> ActionParsnip, I've put radeon.audio=1 to grub.cfg
[18:46] <wcapio> hi folks, what should you pay attention to when buying a new laptop on which you want to run ubuntu?
[18:46] <escott> Surras, sounds like a gpt/msdos issue. can you please run "sudo parted -l"
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> ix_: have you tried running:  alsamixer    and ensuring the channels are all cranked and unmuted?
[18:47] <ix_> ActionParsnip, yes
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> ix_: if you also press F6, is the right output device selected?
[18:47] <thelinux> Anyone got into steam beta?
[18:47] <ix_> ActionParsnip, no
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> thelinux: I've ran it but the games don't seem to install
[18:47] <Surras> the clou is, if I run the life-session of ubuntu, i can mount all partitions (incl. the ntfs from windows)
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> ix_: then change it then check levels again
[18:48] <ix_> ActionParsnip, it shows ati r6xx by default
[18:48] <ix_> ActionParsnip, how do I change it?
[18:48] <ix_> ActionParsnip, I've pressed enter, maxed everything
[18:48] <Vinci_> hi
[18:49] <thelinux> ActionParsnip: I have run it to with method from reddit and omgubuntu, but there aren't any games.
[18:49] <ix_> ActionParsnip, the ati r6xx has no settings except s/pdif
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> thelinux: make sure you filter for Linux only games
[18:49] <Vinci_> siema ;d
[18:49] <Surras> "parted -l" means, there are GPT-Signatures, but no valid MSDOS-Partitiontable
[18:50] <ix_> ActionParsnip, it now works, for whatever reason
[18:50] <Vinci_> ...
[18:50] <ix_> ActionParsnip, thank you
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ix_: try playing a long piece of sound, jam the speakers into each audio hole, see if it comes to life. Ensure speakers are on and cranked
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ix_: np dude, no need to mess
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ix_: you had the wrong output device selected :)
[18:51] <jonathonf> is there an ubuntu+1 channel any more?
[18:51] <litropy> I need to know about memory compatibility. If I stick a 4200 into a 3200, what happens?
[18:51] <escott> Surras, so we have some kind of gpt/msdos issue. i prefer "gdisk" which is in the "universe" (so you have to enable that) and then you can use sudo gdisk /dev/sdX. it will allow you to print the msdos table and the gpt table independently and delete or correct the bad table
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> jonathonf: yes, it supports raring
[18:52] <escott> litropy, i think it just runs slower
[18:52] <scoopex> hi, there....what is the name of the desktop effect which shows all open windows of a desktop (CTRL
[18:52] <compdoc> litropy, you arent providing much info, but it often works to use faster ram in a slower slot
[18:52] <litropy> escott, that would be amazing.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> litropy: it runs at the slower speed. Ask in ##hardware
[18:52] <jonathonf> ActionParsnip: thanks. where is it? i just tried #ubuntu+1 ?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> jonathonf: (18:52:43) The topic for #ubuntu+1 is: Welcome to #ubuntu+1, the channel for discussion of pre-release versions of Ubuntu. The next version of Ubuntu will be 13.04 with development codename Raring Ringtail | 12.10 has been released!! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes | So long and thanks for all the bugs
[18:52] <Vinci_> jest tu ktoś ?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> jonathonf: works here in Pidgin
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> jonathonf: /join #ubuntu+1
[18:53] <jonathonf> ActionParsnip: sorry, me being daft. was trying join ubuntu+1 not #ubuntu+1
[18:53] <jonathonf> ah, lol
[18:53] <Vinci_> hii
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> jonathonf: all channels have a hash at the start :)
[18:54] <Vinci_> )

[18:54] <jonathonf> cheers again
[18:54] <ceyox23242> can gedit format the code automatically?
[18:54] <escott> Vinci_, then please use the polish channel

[18:55] <ActionParsnip> scoopex: scale
[18:56] <woch> hello. i have installed ubuntu to usb flash with unetbootin
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> scoopex: if you configure it to use bottom right as a hot corner it will match mac os
[18:56] <scoopex> ActionParsnip: many thanks...
[18:56] <woch> and i have a refit on my mac
[18:56] <woch> but when i'm trying to boot from this ubuntu stick
[18:56] <woch> it shows me someting like this: no bootable device - insert and press any key
[18:56] <Vinci_> thanks ;)
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> woch: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[18:56] <gordonjcp> woch: ah, unetbootin won't work for that
[18:57] <wcapio> anybody using ubuntu on an ultrabook?
[18:57] <Cache_Money> i executed a script in my Downloads folder to install EPDfree http://bit.ly/SPqrVK but I decided I'd rather have it in my home folder so I moved it.  However, when I attempted to install pandas (library) it's still looking for the directory in the Downloads folder
[18:57] <Cache_Money> Do I need to uninstall and then re-install?  Or is there an easier solution?
[18:57] <woch> gordonjcp: i have problems with backbox and backtrack too :( you can help me ?
[18:57] <BrianBlaze> I am upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 over ssh... nothing can go wrong right... lol
[18:58] <woch> ActionParsnip: no, but i have problems with other linux distributives
[18:58] <escott> Cache_Money, thats generally now how we would install programs. but check your environment and your ~/.bashrc to see if it references the Downloads folder
[18:58] <gordonjcp> woch: you can get an EFI booter that goes on the memory stick, and then you drop the ISO on
[18:58] <gordonjcp> I've done this but I can't remember how
[18:58] <woch> gordonjcp: ee? what memory stick ?
[18:58] <gordonjcp> woch: the USB memory thing
[18:59] <gordonjcp> woch: whatever it is in English
[18:59] <Cache_Money> escott: I set the path to point to the folder in the home folder.  Here's the error: "bash: /home/mas/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86/bin/easy_install: /home/mas/Downloads/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
[18:59] <woch> gordonjcp: hm…
[18:59] <ceyox23242> Can gedit format the code?
[18:59] <woch> gordonjcp: some syslinux mbi.bin ?
[18:59] <woch> gordonjcp: *mbr.bin
[19:00] <escott> Cache_Money, i don't really know easy_install
[19:01] <escott> Cache_Money, there seems to be a ppa for enthought. why aren't you using that? https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/Install/ubuntu
[19:01] <litropy> escott, compdoc, ActionParsnip, WOW. I just took this old machine from 256 MB to 2GB and it is BEAUTIFUL. Thanks, guys.
[19:02] <El_Fantasma> ping
[19:02] <Cache_Money> escott:  The book I'm reading, 'Python for Data Analysis', suggested it
[19:02] <Cache_Money> escott: I'll try the ppa.  Thanks
[19:02] <tada> hello, it's me again, I had a problem installing 12.04 a few hours ago because the install boot menu freezed up
[19:03] <tada> I came back to tell you I found the problem, I tried 2, 3 other usb sticks, turns out the usb stick was broken, in case you some may wonder what was the issue
[19:03] <brandinhess> Anyone know if you can upgrade to LibreOffice 3.6.3 through the terminal yet?
[19:03] <tada> thanks again for your help
[19:03] <woch> gordonjcp: this can help me? => http://dropsafe.crypticide.com/article/8368
[19:04] <gabriel34> Hi everyone! I'm using ubuntu 12.10 and I wish to share my internet connection through my wireless card to my mobile devices. The wan comes in through the ethernet port and I basically want my PC to work as a router. Is there an easy way to do this?
[19:05] <shvchk> Hello. I'm trying to use 'Taz' Adium message style in Empathy, I copied it in ~/.local/share/adium/message-styles, restarted Empathy, but it doesn't show up (others custom styles do). Is something wrong with this style? Could it be fixed?
[19:05] <escott> !ics | gabriel34
[19:05] <gabriel34> thanks!

[19:06] <thelinux> ActionParsnip: You can use: "steam -dev steam://install/440" To download Team Fortress 2 Beta.
[19:08] <Guest339> is there way to get outpur of "last" command in reverse order?
[19:09] <escott> Guest339 you would have to rerun it for one
[19:09] <xibalba> anyone know how i can pull the entire DNS list from a domain?
[19:09] <Guest339> sorry escott, I didn't understood
[19:09] <escott> Guest339 never you really meant last... LOL
[19:11] <Guest339> I just want to get the most recent time that a user logged in. I don't want the full log details. Is there any command/tool for this?
[19:11] <Dynetrekk> does ssh require specific permissions on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? I can't  seem to be able to use pubkey auth (ubuntu 12.04 LTS server)
[19:12] <escott> Guest339 last -1
[19:12] <jrib> Dynetrekk: yes, of course
[19:12] <escott> Dynetrekk, yes 600
[19:12] <Guest339> oh, thanks escott, Now I understood what you said earlies
[19:12] <BrianBlaze> my authorized keys is owned by root
[19:12] <Guest339> thanks for your time
[19:12] <escott> Guest339, yeah "last" is one of those programs that i forget exists
[19:12] <Dynetrekk> jrib, escott damn. my $HOME is mounted to a cifs share. it won't let me chmod anything...
[19:13] <jrib> Dynetrekk: this is /bad/
[19:13] <escott> Dynetrekk, you have a problem. your $HOME is not on a POSIX filesystem. you should probably fix that
[19:13] <gdea73> When I login, I see a brief purple screen (~0.2 seconds) which says "checking battery state," and then I am returned to the login screen.
[19:13] <Dynetrekk> jrib: that's what I thought, too. I think I have to talk to the admin guy. not convinced that he's up to nuff
[19:14] <Dynetrekk> escott, jrib do you have any particular documentation on why this is a singularly bad idea? (I'm convinced, but I need to convince the guy who admins the box)
[19:15] <escott> Dynetrekk, i would think a heavy wrench or maybe an ax would be sufficient documentation... something about how programs on a largely POSIX OS would expect to be able to store user files on a POSIX compliant filesystem
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> Guest339  dirty workaround: last|grep still
[19:15] <Dynetrekk> escott: right. now, a good horror story would be more diplomatic, but I think we've got a hammer lying around
[19:16] <gdea73> I reinstalled the ubuntu-desktop package.
[19:16] <escott> Dynetrekk, the proper way for him to do what he wants to do is have /home/username on / and then symlink /home/username/Documents etc to the CIFS filesystem
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Dynetrekk: I suggest you keep your home local but mount the subfolders for your user data to the folders in the local home
[19:16] <MonkeyDust> Guest339  or simpler: last -1
[19:16] <gdea73> oftentimes I get a puple screen on boot, which stays there indefinitely.
[19:16] <gdea73> but it appears to be completely random.
[19:16] <escott> Dynetrekk, so he can mount CIFS on /home/username/.cifs and then symlink ~/Documents->~/.cifs/Documents
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> gdea73: what video chip do you use?
[19:17] <Guest339> yes, I think, last -1 is enought
[19:17] <Guest339> thanks MonkeyDust
[19:17] <escott> Dynetrekk, either that or he needs to setup NFS for $HOME
[19:17] <gdea73> ActionParsnip: A6-3420M
[19:17] <gdea73> (Radeon 6520G)
[19:17] <gdea73> Installed fglrx successfully, but now this is happening.
[19:17] <Dynetrekk> this was my idea; that we get a symlink/mount point in $HOME that points to our 'windowshome'
[19:17] <gdea73> Installed Catalyst 10.10 manually from AMD's website.
[19:18] <Dynetrekk> using cifs on $HOME seems awfully nasty
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[19:18] <theadmin> Dynetrekk: Well, of course -- permissions and stuff, you know
[19:18] <gdea73> I followed this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/
[19:18] <gdea73> or rather their Quantal guide
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> gdea73: did you run:  sudo aticonfig --initial
[19:19] <gdea73> ActionParsnip: yes.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> gdea73: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there, then restart the lightdm service
[19:20] <jrib> Dynetrekk: I would just explain the problem your are facing; he should realize his mistake
[19:20] <osmosis> ubuntu spells virtualization wrong,  http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/virtualisation
[19:20] <yeehi> None of my windows have an X icon in the corner so I can dismiss them - how do I add an X icon?
[19:20] <gdea73> ActionParsnip: that returned me to tty7 (login screen), wherein the problem persists
[19:20] <theadmin> osmosis: That's not "wrong", that's British style.
[19:20] <jrib> osmosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization
[19:20] <woch> gordonjcp: i have tried that you said.. the same shit
[19:21] <lizardbrain> i have 2 network cards
[19:21] <Dynetrekk> theadmin: yes, permissions are also part of the issue why we are not using windows in the first place :P windows just... doesn't handle them
[19:21] <lizardbrain> and it always picks eth1 as a route to the internet
[19:21] <lizardbrain> as it gets its ip second
[19:21] <lizardbrain> i need to use the first
[19:21] <lizardbrain> how to set priority?
[19:21] <Walex> yeeh: which "action" buttons are put on a window's decorations depends on the window manager and which decoration style it is configured for.
[19:22] <theadmin> lizardbrain: sudo route add default dev eth0
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> gdea73: try:   killall -u $USER
[19:22] <BrianBlaze> theadmin thanks I know I didn't ask but awesome
[19:22] <gdea73> ActionParsnip: I ran that command in tty2, but still can't login in tty7.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> gdea73: I suggest you run:   less /var/log/Xorg.0.log      to see what is going on
[19:23] <gdea73> I see this: "Failed to load module 'fglrx' (loader failed, 7)"
[19:23] <lizardbrain> theadmin can i add that to /etc/rc.local?
[19:24] <theadmin> lizardbrain: I don't think it should be necessary. But if you need to, sure.
[19:24] <theadmin> lizardbrain: There's also some routing configuration in NetworkManager but I'm not too into GUI stuff
[19:24] <[HUN]Btvilag> hey everyone i would need help with kvm. I cannot reach the console of guest from ubuntu server. gives me an error ...escapeing character or sth
[19:24] <[HUN]Btvilag> any suggestions?
[19:24] <gdea73> Also, "Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section."
[19:29] <Chamunks> is there any way to re-enable middle click scrolling?
[19:29] <Chamunks> Where you basically scroll/grab the page by just middle clicking and way you go?
[19:30] <Chamunks> I've asked this here like 5 times on different days and no one has made one single comment about it.  Am I really the only person who misses this?
[19:30] <theadmin> Chamunks: That's a Windows thing mostly -- Xorg uses the middle button for pasting
[19:30] <gdea73> Chamunks: I agree, but I don't know of any solution
[19:30] <jrib> Chamunks: in firefox?
[19:30] <escott> Chamunks, i thought was always application/toolkit based. you can probably find it in about:config in firefox
[19:30] <Chamunks> theadmin, it was in ubuntu for ever.
[19:30] <paulsomebody> Chamunks: Do you miss it from where? I do not remember this feature being ever present in GNU/Linux.
[19:30] <Chamunks> then for some reason its gone.
[19:30] <theadmin> Chamunks: Uh, no it wasn't...
[19:30] <theadmin> Chamunks: Not that I remember anyway
[19:30] <Chamunks> I swear it was at one point.
[19:31] <paulsomebody> Chamunks: Firefox may have used it in the past, but it was an ugly workaround.
[19:31] <theadmin> Definetly not anytime after 8.10
[19:31] <Chamunks> even if its not there has to be a better solution for scrolling
[19:31] <genii-around> Guest339: last|tac
[19:31] <paulsomebody> theadmin: Yes, it did, at least as of 8.04 — this is when I remember using it.
[19:31] <Chamunks> I've got an old Logitech g5 and its a great mouse but the scrolling is terrible and my MX revolution died for no good reason.
[19:31] <theadmin> Chamunks: If you are talking about Firefox, then it's a simple fix, in about:config set middlemouse.paste to fasle
[19:31] <theadmin> false*
[19:32] <Chamunks> theadmin, I think that will be the thing I recall.
[19:32] <ascott>  /part #ubuntu
[19:32] <Chamunks> I stopped using firefox since then.
[19:32] <ascott> whoops
[19:32] <paulsomebody> Hi. I have a general question regarding Adobe Air: I know that when the Adobe announced the decision to drop the support for GNU/Linux it was thought that the development of newer versions would be outsourced to Linux community with the help of a porting kit. However, I have not heard anything about active development since then. Have you?
[19:32] <theadmin> Chamunks: Oh, then I doubt I can help you
[19:32] <Chamunks> theadmin, fair enough I use firefox sometimes when chromium faceplants.
[19:32] <Chamunks> which is often.
[19:32] <Guest339> thanks genii-around :)
[19:33] <paulsomebody> Chamunks: I do not think that Chrome can do that natively, but I bet some mouse gestures extension can.
[19:33] <Chamunks> escott, jrib gdea73 I hope something is possible.
[19:33] <gdea73> Opera can ;) shift - middle clicl
[19:33] <gdea73> * click
[19:33] <jrib> Chamunks: see escott's about:config idea if you are talking about firefox
[19:33] <Chamunks> fair enough paulsomebody
[19:33] <Chamunks> gde33, ugh opera is far too closed its a great browser but ugh I want / require my adblock.
[19:33] <theadmin> Chamunks: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoscroll/occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan
[19:34] <paulsomebody> Chamunks: And I have no desire for such things, when you can do this and more via keyboard with the help of Vimium extension.
[19:34] <Chamunks> and other extensions Opera is the Blackberry of internet browsers in my mind.
[19:34] <gdea73> Chamunks: it has an adblock extension, FYI
[19:34] <jrib> Chamunks: also, you should contact logitech about your MX revolution.  They have great customer service in my experience (they sent me a brand new mouse when mine died)
[19:34] <gdea73> and haha I can't stand blackberries, but i love opera
[19:34] <BrianBlaze> I use opera on my iphone and I love it actually
[19:35] <Chamunks> gdea73, it just took 5 years to get the extension.
[19:36] <Chamunks> opera is a great browser and I do respect its ideas but its just sigh i dunno.
[19:36] <paulsomebody> Answer my question about Adobe Air, anyone?
[19:36] <Chamunks> jrib, I know logitech is phenominal and I use them every chance that I get.
[19:37] <BrianBlaze> I dunno adobe air bbut I like foxit lol
[19:38] <theadmin> I wanted to ask, where's the drive selection menu went to? Ubiquity now installs to /dev/sda and that's it, unless I use the "custom" option, or am I missing something?
[19:38] <gdea73> ActionParsnip: any other suggestions?
[19:38] <gdea73> I've been struggling with fglrx and 12.x for the past two days -_-
[19:39] <theadmin> gdea73: I think fglrx might be requiring a version of xorg lower than what 12.x uses
[19:39] <Chamunks> jrib, I think mine was already a refurb so I don't think it'll get me anywhere.
[19:39] <theadmin> gdea73: Knowing ATI, that might very well be true, I had to downgrade Xorg on ArchLinux when I tried fglrx installation
[19:39] <jrib> Chamunks: no harm in trying
[19:39] <Chamunks> jrib, true enough. The mx has a great scrollwheel.
[19:40] <gdea73> theadmin: that's unfortunate.. though I thought Catalyst 12.10 supported the latest X?
[19:40] <Chamunks> I have a full setup for reworking electronics which helps I just dont know where to start.
[19:40] <theadmin> gdea73: Not too sure
[19:40] <theadmin> gdea73: Haven't used the thing for a while
[19:42] <gdea73> theadmin: I see. Well, I know 10.9 requires an older Xorg but apparently/supposedly 12.10 was up to date.
[19:42] <gdea73> Still not sure why I can't log in at all though.
[19:42] <gdea73> fglrxinfo returns "Error: unable to open display (null)
[19:42] <gdea73> "
[19:43] <theadmin> Does anyone know if Bazaar has it's own channel, or should I just ask here? I already tried dropping a few questions related to it, but all I got in return here was silence
[19:43] <bazhang> theadmin, use alis to search
[19:44] <theadmin> bazhang: Good point
[19:44] <bazhang> !alis | the adante
[19:44] <bazhang> whoops sorry adante
[19:44] <theadmin> Well, found #bazaar. That was simple.
[19:46] <theadmin> Anyway, I'm off
[19:46] <theadmin> Thanks bazhang. Night everyone.
[19:48] <hilo> does anyone know any good RDP servers that support sending the sound to the remote client? Or it could be another protocol, but RDP is the only one I know that has some sound support mechanism built in.

[20:03] <biopyte> hi, i'm on 11.10 and forgot to upgrade to 12.04 LTS. now 12.10 is out. can i still make soft upgrade to 12.04 or do i have to make a reinstall?
[20:04] <k1l_> biopyte: you can only upgrade step by step. so yes no problem
[20:04] <biopyte> ok, thanks
[20:04] <k1l_> (only way of overtaking the steps is from LTS to LTS, 10.04 to 12.04 for example)
[20:05] <ert3go> Hello , i can access internet using a wireless router but if i used wired connection , i can't. where am i going wrong ?
[20:05] <biopyte> so, i cant upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, because its too late now?
[20:06] <escott> biopyte, you can

[20:11] <walzo> Hello #Ubunutu! Is anyone up for some QnA on high Compiz CPU questions from a noob?
[20:11] <bazhang> walzo, ask the real question
[20:11] <chovynz> ubuntu 12.04 desktop, toshiba satellite pro, anyone know how to get a sony dsc-h3 camera recognised and able to be opened up like it used to in 10.4?
[20:12] <amoeba> Hey. I'd like to remove GMail from the launcher in 12.10, but I can't find a way. Help would be much appreciated!
[20:12] <|MS|DjFlyBy> how does one find out all the users on the system (I'm trying to figure out what user apache 2 is running under)
[20:12] <walzo> @bazhang I am using 12.10 and unity without a lot of custom things installed. But it seems that after about an hour, compiz goes to 40% cpu and never gives it up
[20:12] <chovynz> amoeba: you cannot simple right click and remove? or drag it away from teh launcher?
[20:12] <walzo> eventually it overheats my laptop
[20:13] <Pici> |MS|DjFlyBy: getent passwd , but ps aux | grep apache   might show you the answer directly.
[20:13] <fuga> hi
[20:13] <Pici> EEEEEEEEEEE: Please stop that
[20:13] <walzo> @bazhang unfortunately, I am unable to form a better question that, what can I do? or how can I troubleshoot?
[20:14] <amoeba> chovynz: neither, i'm afraid. the right-click context menu gives you the option to 'lock to launcher', but not to remove. dragging doesn't help, it just goes back to the launcher.
[20:14] <chovynz> amoeba: do you have admin privlieges?
[20:15] <walzo> bazhang, (I think I messed up some IRC fu, reposting my question)  I am using 12.10 and unity without a lot of custom things installed. But it seems that after about an hour, compiz goes to 40% cpu and never gives it up. My question is either how do I stop this or how do I troubleshoot?
[20:15] <amoeba> chovynz: yep
[20:15] <hilo> amoeba, its actually a bug, there's a workaround I used a few months ago but can't remember
[20:15] <fuga> i have some problem to install my wifi card on my laptop acer travelmate 5760 (bcm43227) i try different driver but still don't work...please help me
[20:15] <|MS|DjFlyBy> Pici: that was perfect. Thanks a bunch
[20:15] <chovynz> amoeba: does quit work?
[20:16] <bazhang> walzo, what plugins do you have enabled? try unchecking some and troubleshooting that way. there is also #compiz if you don't get satisfactory answers here
[20:16] <escott> ert3go, what is the output of ifconfig
[20:17] <amoeba> chovynz: quit removes it from the launcher temporarily (and closes gmail in my browser), but if i log into gmail in my browser, it reappears in the launcher
[20:17] <thelinux> fuga: Go to software source, additional drivers tab, and ubuntu should detect your card and offer you a download from there.
[20:17] <walzo> bazhang, #compiz is a great suggestion! I'm not sure what you mean by plugins.
[20:17] <amoeba> hilo: i see, thanks
[20:17] <Adie> ignorant question:
[20:17] <bazhang> walzo, in ccsm
[20:17] <escott> ert3go, would also help to see "route" info
[20:18] <Adie> does i386 work on i686?
[20:18] <bazhang> Adie, pardon?
[20:18] <chovynz> amoeba: interesting. ill do some reading up.
[20:18] <escott> Adie, everything is i686 these days
[20:18] <thelinux> escott: It should show your IP on LAN network and default gateway IP
[20:18] <walzo> bazhang,  Ah, I've not fiddled with it since the fresh install of 12.10. I'll do that
[20:18] <fuga> i did it...not working...ubuntu 12.10 detect my card and prupose a driver , i accept and reboot...nothing work
[20:18] <walzo> bazhang,  Thanks for the suggestion
[20:18] <amoeba> chovynz: cool, thanks
[20:18] <escott> Adie, what is called i386 actually could not run on a 386... but people are so used to that as the architecture that they dont want to change the name and confuse people
[20:18] <Loving_u> is there any 4rum for window API ?
[20:19] <Adie> escott: like I said, is an ignorant question. I stupidly tried to boot the 64bit iso, and it said an i686 cpuw as detected, so I was coming in here to make sure i386 was what I needed for this computer?
[20:19] <escott> thelinux, huh?
[20:19] <thelinux> fuga: What's the model of your card?
[20:19] <escott> Adie, yes... you need the i386 if you have a 32bit x86 system
[20:19] <Adie> okay, thank you ^_^
[20:19] <thelinux> escott: You asked what's the output of ifconfig, sorry If I misunderstood you. I guess I should kill myself now.
[20:20] <gordonjcp> Adie: "i386" in modern distros really means i686
[20:20] <ert3go> escott, http://pastie.org/5347496
[20:20] <gordonjcp> Adie: you'll find that most modern distros cannot even run on i586
[20:20] <Adie> ya
[20:20] <gordonjcp> they lack the cmove instruction
[20:20] <Adie> I figured I was confused about this in the same was I was confused about AMD64 not actually meaning AMD cpus
[20:20] <Adie> lol
[20:21] <escott> ert3go, how about your "route"
[20:21] <fuga> broadcom bcm 43227 ...i read many forums and i try to install some other driver since four days (i erase all old driver before)...i'm going crazy^^
[20:21] <ert3go> i dont get you escott
[20:22] <Dougie187> Has anyone in here been banned from Diablo 3 for playing on linux?
[20:22] <escott> ert3go, its another command to run "route"
[20:22] <bazhang> !ot | Dougie187
[20:22] <escott> Adie, the amd64 is because amd came up with the instruction set modifications that intel then copied
[20:22] <Dougie187> ;) Will do. I figured I would ask here because it seems like the problem only affects ubuntu users. Thanks though
[20:23] <thelinux> fuga: I'll help you, stay on IRC, and when you reply to me type my name and two dots after it, so It will show your reply.
[20:23] <escott> Adie, you are not the first person to be confused by all this
[20:23] <fuga> thelinux: ok sorry... i forgot

[20:25] <thelinux> Axz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12337295
[20:25] <thelinux> Axz: I hope that links helps you, it shows PPA, how to edit source list for that purpose too.
[20:26] <ert3go> escott, i was initially connected wirelessly . Now i've connected a cable too
[20:26] <thelinux> Axz: Let me know if that will work.
[20:26] <escott> ert3go, that all looks good. if you ping 192.168.0.1 does it not go over eth0
[20:27] <ert3go> escott, when I tried to connect only using cable , i couldn't connect to internet
[20:28] <escott> ert3go, i would ping 192.168.0.1 and see if the tx/rx counters in ifconfig are increasing for eth0
[20:29] <thelinux> fuga: I think I found what is the problem, remove: linux-backports-modules-cw from synaptic (if you don't have it install it from ubuntu software centre), install driver, than reboot.
[20:29] <ert3go> how to find if ping is going over eth0 escott ?
[20:29] <Axz> thelinux, on it.. thnx
[20:29] <Axz> will et you knwo in a sec
[20:29] <escott> ert3go, i would ping 192.168.0.1 and see if the tx/rx counters in ifconfig are increasing for eth0
[20:29] <Tealk> hi
[20:29] <escott> ert3go, or pint -I eth0 192.168.0.1
[20:30] <fuga> thelinux: ok i try and i comeback
[20:30] <escott> ert3go, actually that -I has to be an address so its 192.168.1.101 for you eth0?
[20:30] <Tealk> i have the problem if i install "Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop" and i will start it, it freeze
[20:30] <Axz> thelinux, works perfect!
[20:30] <ert3go> yep escott
[20:30] <thelinux> Axz: Awesome, I'm glad that I could help.
[20:30] <Axz> Guys any info when is steam official released for Ubuntu?!
[20:31] <thelinux> Axz: Before new year.
[20:31] <escott> ert3go, yeah ping -I 192.168.1.101 192.168.0.1 will go out whatever interface it likes but should come back on eth0
[20:31] <Axz> also info on game ports?!
[20:31] <Axz> thelinux,
[20:31] <thelinux> Axz: But you can try it even if you're not in beta.
[20:32] <thelinux> Axz: Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Serious Sam 3...
[20:32] <Axz> thelinux, yeah just qwondering about game getting ported
[20:32] <Axz> wow
[20:33] <Tealk> i have the problem if i install "Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop" and i will start it, it freeze my system: http://www.sysprofile.de/id113268
[20:33] <Simex> Left 4 Dead 2 isn't ported yet...
[20:33] <escott> Tealk, wubi... ugggh. many in the channel (myself included) would discourage you from using wubi
[20:33] <Simex> It is being ported though
[20:34] <thelinux> Axz: Left 4 Dead 2,  should be released any time now, Team Fortress 2 Beta is already downloadable on steam right now, Serious Sam 3 port should be soon too, and great thing that Source Engine is ported (almost all) and many games that run on it could be easily ported to linux
[20:34] <Tealk> and how i should manage it?
[20:35] <Tealk> i dont think i can waive windows
[20:35] <escott> Tealk, a real install performs better, but you can also use virtualbox if your machine is powerful enough
[20:35] <Axz> thelinux, yeah great news...
[20:35] <thelinux> Axz: And you have really long list of games that run on Source Engine. And now Unity (3d game engine) can compile games for Linux, so for 2012 and 2013 we can expect a lots and lots of great games.
[20:35] <escott> Tealk, with wubi you have to reboot anyways it just takes out the bits where you have to make the install cd, and partition the drive
[20:36] <Tealk> hmm ok
[20:36] <gordonjcp> Axz: now is a good time to be a gamer on Linux
[20:36] <gordonjcp> it's not just Quake-derived games any more!
[20:36] <escott> Tealk, what are you computers specs?
[20:36] <Tealk> http://www.sysprofile.de/id113268
[20:36] <Axz> gordonjcp, yeah will miss thise wine tweaking nights :P
[20:36] <Axz> those*
[20:36] <thelinux> Axz: If you applied for beta you should check message on your steam account, cause day will also add more users in next few days, full release should be released before new year.
[20:37] <fuga> thelinux: no linux-backports-modules-cw install....i search on software center , four pruposes...witch one to choose? linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-18-generic or linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-18-generic:i386 i'm in X64
[20:37] <evaryont> Hello #ubuntu; I'm trying to run `apt-get upgrade` but I keep getting "503 OUT OF DISK SPACE".... oh wait, I have a apt cache ng process... crud. Nevermind!

[20:37] <Axz> i applied no msg yet
[20:37] <alabala> Hi guys, when I try to install skype tells me that it can not find it. any ideas?
[20:37] <gordonjcp> Axz: I won't miss it at all
[20:37] <gordonjcp> Axz: do you realise the magnitude of this, though?
[20:37] <escott> Tealk, a zambezi with 8gb of ram could certainly run virtualbox with a basic desktop without much trouble. what are you planning to use ubuntu for?
[20:37] <gordonjcp> Axz: Valve have basically said, screw Windows, we're discontinuing support
[20:38] <thelinux> fuga: Both.
[20:38] <thelinux> gordonjcp: Yep, great yea for Linux.
[20:38] <Tealk> first i will try it and if i like it i only use it ;)
[20:38] <Axz> gordonjcp, funny seeing people switch to Linux OS soon
[20:39] <Axz> i 've using it since 11 years now
[20:39] <ert3go> escott, if i connect the cable first and then turn on my router , I can't connect to internet
[20:39] <gordonjcp> Axz: newb ;-)
[20:39] <escott> Tealk, then download and install virtualbox, then create a virtual machine and you can run ubuntu inside windows like it was an application. once you get ubuntu installed be sure to install the guest-additions
[20:39] <thelinux> gordonjcp: I still can't believe that Steam and game titles are ported to Linux, and also Unity(3d game engine) it a happened so fast.
[20:39] <escott> ert3go, ok
[20:40] <Tealk> escott, what you mean with guest-additions?
[20:41] <disputin> load the virtualbox "guest additions" iso image and run the appropriate script.
[20:41] <Axz> gordonjcp, lol yeah could't leave my Windows 2000 :(
[20:41] <escott> ert3go, not sure how to correct that. either dhclient is not listening when the router gets all the way up and tries to setup the eth0, or the router is not detecting that the cable is plugged in and never makes the offer
[20:41] <bazhang> lets get back on topic please
[20:41] <fuga> thelinux: in progress...if it still d'ont work , possibly for you to come help with some RDP protocol software (like vino or teamviewer)?
[20:42] <Axz> ^
[20:42] <alabala> how to install skype any ideas? (Ubuntu 12.10) package not found :(
[20:42] <thelinux> fuga: Sure :)
[20:42] <escott> Tealk, http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/
[20:42] <bazhang> alabala, enable partner repo

[20:42] <bazhang> !partner | alabala
[20:42] <Axz> It is normall when i copy a MKV  file to my USB drive, later cant be played on my blueray drive?! Only happends on Ubuntu
[20:43] <alabala> bazhang, thanks
[20:43] <bazhang> Axz, thats normal. try devede to make a playable dvd
[20:43] <thelinux> alabala: Download ubuntu deb. file from skype's website.
[20:43] <bazhang> thelinux, poor advice
[20:43] <chovynz> and this amoeba, http://www.howtogeek.com/119560/how-to-install-and-use-ubuntus-new-web-apps-feature/
[20:44] <thelinux> bazhang: Why?
[20:44] <Axz> bazhang, its a 18GB file
[20:44] <chovynz> The first comment might be of help to you amoeba
[20:44] <bazhang> thelinux, Always go from within Ubuntu repos when possible
[20:44] <Axz> tahts why tranfer it to USB flash drive
[20:44] <bazhang> thelinux, skype is in Ubuntu partner repo
[20:44] <thelinux> bazhang: That's true.
[20:44] <xwalk> I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.1. I'm having trouble with the Startup Disk Creator and I'm certain it's a bug, but I just wanted to confirm that I should report this on the Ubuntu launchpad and not the KDE bug tracker.
[20:44] <thelinux> bazhang: Thanks.
[20:44] <bazhang> thelinux, so dont recommend outside if inside is possible
[20:45] <escott> xwalk, its not even a kde application so.... it would certainly be launchpad
[20:45] <bazhang> Axz, that maybe a limitation of your hardware bd drive
[20:45] <chovynz> Is there a driver for memory card reader?
[20:45] <bazhang> Axz, perhaps convert with handbrake or the like and try again
[20:46] <thelinux> bazhang: Yes, but sometimes there are outdated softwares on repos, if we are talking about less mainstream apps.
[20:46] <beaky> hello
[20:46] <Billy_> hi I am trying to mount a windows share but cant seems to get permissions right, root seems to be the owner of any files i create in the mount, here is the line from fstab
[20:46] <beaky> I am running ubuntu from a usb stick
[20:46] <beaky> how do I improve the performance?

[20:46] <bazhang> beaky, persistent or live
[20:46] <beaky> also, what keyboard shortcuts are there for switching workspaces?
[20:46] <beaky> bazhang: I'm using the live
[20:46] <beaky> I mean persistent*
[20:46] <beaky> what's the difference?
[20:46] <bazhang> beaky, live will be slow
[20:47] <bazhang> beaky, one allows saves
[20:47] <beaky> ah then the persistent one (I can save
[20:47] <burdickjp> i've done a wubi install of 12.10 on my Dell Latitude ST.  on boot I get a console flood of bluetooth loading patchfile errors and the device is unresponsive to any input.  any suggestions?
[20:47] <bazhang> beaky, unity? unity 2d? classic? or what
[20:48] <beaky> I'm using the new unity interface
[20:48] <escott> Billy_, that looks alright (except for the typo where it says gid=100 instead of gid=1000). what does ls -l /home/billy/oscar say
[20:48] <bazhang> beaky, usb is going to be slow, if you mean a usb flash stick
[20:48] <xwalk> escott: Thanks.
[20:48] <beaky> yes, I'm running ubuntu off an 8gb flash stick
[20:49] <fuga> thelinux: it take very long time to install...i think it's frozen because de progress bar...d'ont move at all...could you come? how i give you mi IP?
[20:49] <bazhang> beaky, thats really a usb flash stick problem...it will be slow
[20:49] <thelinux> fuga: CHeck on left side, I have send you PM
[20:49] <amoeba> chovynz: thanks. i ended up uninstalling webapps, that worked for me
[20:50] <beaky> right
[20:50] <chovynz> np amoeba
[20:50] <burdickjp> in wubi, what file is used for boot parameters?  such as kernel module arguments

[20:51] <thelinux> fuga: I have send you  a PM, you can type for ID and password if you need help with your problem.
[20:51] <Billy_> does that look right?
[20:51] <beaky> ubuntu is very pretty
[20:51] <thelinux> fuga: I mean ID and password of your teamviewer.
[20:51] <thelinux> beaky: Oh yeah ;)
[20:51] <escott> Billy_, thats owned by billy and in group users so that should work for you. if you "touch /home/billy/oscar/test2" what are the permissions on it
[20:52] <fuga> thelinux: ok i instal teamviewer right now
[20:52] <beaky> I thought windows 8 was pretty
[20:52] <Galvatron> Hi
[20:53] <bazhang> beaky, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[20:53] <Galvatron> Which is better from the web browsing and security point of view - OpenJDK or Oracle Java?
[20:54] <beaky> rih
[20:54] <Billy_> -rwxr-xr-x 0 billy users 0
[20:54] <Billy_> all good then I think
[20:54] <escott> Galvatron, open will become the base for oracle java. i would go with open
[20:54] <escott> Billy_, ok.... problem solved?
[20:55] <Billy_> yes thanks for clarification
[20:55] <escott> Billy_, easiest problems to solve
[20:56] <beaky> how do i set a launcher that runs a specific command?
[20:57] <Galvatron> escott: I've been using Oracje for quite some time, because I was told that it's  better when it comes to updates, or so. But I would like to review the state of affairs.
[20:58] <bekks> Whats Oracje?
[20:58] <Galvatron> *Oracle
[20:59] <escott> Galvatron, you must watch Fox News or something because thats not what i hear about Oracle
[20:59] <bekks> Without a valid support contract, you'll get no updates at all.
[20:59] <bekks> Using Ubuntu, you'll always get updates - without paying for them.
[21:00] <Amnesia> question, is there some way to determine with what parameters a module was loaded?
[21:01] <bobostory> ciao
[21:01] <bobostory> !list
[21:04] <chovynz> is there a memory card reader driver for 12.04?
[21:04] <escott> chovynz, mmioblk
[21:04] <gordonjcp> chovynz: memory card readers don't need specific drivers
[21:04] <gordonjcp> unless there's something deeply weird about them
[21:05] <chovynz> escott: sudo apt-get install mmioblk?
[21:05] <escott> chovynz, thats the kernel module that usually gets loaded, but its not something you would install
[21:06] <chovynz> gordonjcp & escott some thing is weird about my mmc reader
[21:06] <chovynz> in previous version it used to mount and load up like an external drive. in this fresh install it wont
[21:07] <escott> chovynz, check dmesg to see if the device is recognized and also to see if it detects a card insertion
[21:07] <chovynz> terminal?
[21:07] <skd5aner> Quick question... I'm trying to get lightdm to work on 12.10, I've been using gdm forever... I want to be able to autologin, and launch an .xsession file, which works, but if I send the applications in the xsession, lightdm will not autologin the next time
[21:07] <skd5aner> s/send/end
[21:07] <escott> chovynz, yes "dmesg" is a terminal command to read the kernel ring buffer
[21:08] <escott> chovynz, you might try "dmesg | grep -C5 mmio" as well as inserting the card and running "dmesg | tail -n 20"
[21:09] <escott> chovynz, rather grep mmc on mine
[21:09] <chovynz> "lol", i pulled it out, then put it back in and it worked... :|
[21:09] <chovynz> thanks for your help anyway escott
[21:10] <a7i3n> So apparently there is a major screwup in 12.10 regarding the AMD driver. Just updated and got a blank screen for my trouble.
[21:10] <chovynz> might've been the way i put it in or something
[21:11] <delac> fsck sees error, but apparently cant fix them. e2fsck with -p just halts on first error, unable to continue and asks to run bare fsck. anything to try?
[21:11] <a7i3n> Installed 12.10 fresh and then installed the driver with the same result.
[21:12] <escott> delac, depends on what kind of error
[21:12] <CrawfordComeaux> what could be the cause of resolveip <ip address> not resolving to a hostname?
[21:13] <Galvatron> a7i3n: Have you tried Catalyst 12.11?
[21:13] <a7i3n> No, not yet Galvatron...
[21:13] <a7i3n> Getting tired of reinstalling...
[21:14] <escott> CrawfordComeaux, reverse DNS is not available for all domains
[21:14] <devish> how can we know chipset . ram details of our computer?
[21:14] <bazhang> devish, dmidecode sudo lshw lspci lsusb
[21:15] <nicekiwi> for a fully working system would I be better to re-format and install a new Distro if I want a new DE or just download the package in Synaptic?
[21:15] <Galvatron> a7i3n: Maybe let 12.10 mature and for the time being use 12.04. The differences are really minuscule.
[21:15] <a7i3n> Just ment this as a caution to those of you that have an AMD graphics card... there is a problem with the AMD driver and Unity.
[21:15] <guntbert> nicekiwi: just install the package
[21:15] <bazhang> nicekiwi, both are fine, I have four currently
[21:15] <Galvatron> I have 12.10 next to my main 12.04 and I also see how buggy it is.
[21:15] <bazhang> Galvatron, so file bugs
[21:16] <nicekiwi> bazhang, true.. :P
[21:16] <a7i3n> Yep. You are Right Galvatron... fortunately I only did this with my laptop. The othermachines are staying on 12.04 until a replacement OS can be worked out...
[21:17] <delac> escott: the disk has bad sectors
[21:17] <a7i3n> Huge difference between 12.10 and 12.04 as far as stability. This is my experience so far and your mileage may vary...
[21:17] <CrawfordComeaux> escott: it's worked before, though & it's my server/domain. I think the issue may be that before the zone file propagated, I tried resolving it & the local DNS server is still serving the cached result
[21:18] <escott> delac, then the best thing to do is use "dd" with "noerror" to create an image of the failing disk and then you can attempt recovery of that data
[21:18] <escott> CrawfordComeaux, zone files... you got beyond my knowledge there
[21:19] <Adie> how do I know if I want to set up as "use entire disk" or "use entire disk and set up LVM"?
[21:20] <Adie> plz compare/contrast the two options as someone who doens't know what LVM means
[21:20] <willdabeast> Is there a reason my taskbars aren't showing on most programs? I am in gnome 3 with openGL...
[21:20] <escott> Adie, depends on if you want LVM... what is your use case and what are you installing onto?
[21:20] <delac> escott: unfortunately the disk is too large to be imaged as one file (cant fit it anywhere). is it possible to try to read intact files and only save them?
[21:20] <MoleMan> does rsync -P not show the progress bar? instead it is just showing a verbose output as it copies each file?
[21:20] <delac> escott: prefereably only from /home
[21:20] <Adie> I am installing ubuntu server onto a mac mini as a 24/7 headless services server
[21:21] <compdoc> rsync --progress
[21:21] <devish> Any suggestion for virtual box ? i prefer low memory consumption with light process ;)
[21:22] <escott> Adie, then LVM is probably unnecessary. LVM abstracts away the whole partitioning thing so you can easily create and remove partitions and resize partitions without worrying about the physical layout of the partitions. probably not needed for a single disk server like that
[21:22] <deadmund> escott: Adie I agree
[21:22] <Adie> okay, think you for your input ^_^
[21:22] <thelinux> devish: What suggestions? ;) I've been using virtual box, I too use low memory consumption, otherwise my primary OS will run slow since I only have 1 GB RAM
[21:23] <gordonjcp> Adie: will your Mac Mini support virtualisation?  How much RAM has it got?
[21:23] <escott> delac, im not sure... ive never actually had to recover files from an ext2 fs
[21:23] <escott> !undelete | delac
[21:23] <Adie> gordonjcp: I think it has 2GB of ram
[21:23] <Adie> it's a first generation intel mini
[21:23] <gordonjcp> Adie: if you can see if it has vmx, and whack even 3GB in although 2GB would do, you could run virtualised servers on it
[21:24] <bkc_> Adie: LVM is golden for JBOD (and in some cases RAID, but then I'd just use brtfs) otherwise it's generally not necessary :)
[21:24] <fuga_> thelinux: not working...
[21:24] <physically_fit> ikonia
[21:24] <gordonjcp> Adie: this makes things more complicated, but it does mean that later on if you want to fiddle about with installing random crap onto a server you just roll yourself a clean instance, and nuke it when you're done
[21:24] <devish> thelinux: i framed incorrectly , vmware vs virtual box
[21:24] <thelinux> fuga_: Don't worry, we will solve it ;) I'll look more into it ;)
[21:25] <Adie> gordonjcp: i dunno
[21:25] <thelinux> devish: Well I think Virtual Box is just fine, vmware costs money, and I don't there are major differences.
[21:25] <burdickjp> how do I switch the keyboard layout on the install media console?
[21:26] <cihhan> How can I find the disk read/write requests of individual processes? /proc/diskstats gives information for the overall system, but /proc/PID/io gives total number of bytes read/written.
[21:26] <Qantourisc> Where are the dhclient3 cli-arguments configured for ifup ?
[21:26] <guntbert> cihhan: have a  look at iotop
[21:27] <cihhan> guntbert: let me try now
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> Qantourisc: you can specify them in /etc/network/interfaces
[21:27] <Miscni> I noticed that Libusb and libboost are not being used in Ubuntu 64-bit, when to use make command anyway to go around that?
[21:28] <cihhan> guntbert: it seems that it doesnt show the requests, but it shows the total or per sec
[21:28] <Qantourisc> ActionParsnip: you mean dhcp method: hostname, leasehours, leasetime, ... ?
[21:29] <angs> I have ubuntu-arm-server on my embedded board (beagleboard-xm). I would like to do remote-debugging. what package do I need to install on my host machine (ubuntu 12.04) to have the toolchains ? apt-get install build-essential?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Qantourisc: its one way, yes
[21:29] <lonewulf> Is there anyone here that has experience with the newest openSUSE?
[21:29] <Qantourisc> ActionParsnip: I don't see any in the wlist that would add the "-w" option of dhclient3
[21:29] <guntbert> cihhan: so I misunderstood - you might be able to see single requests for *1* process with strace
[21:30] <bkc_> !suse | lonewulf
[21:30] <guntbert> lonewulf: this is the ubuntu support channel
[21:30] <burdickjp> I've been dumped into a console on the kubuntu active install media
[21:30] <bazhang> #suse lonewulf
[21:30] <bkc_> lonewulf: basically what I mean is this is -->ubuntu<-- support :)
[21:30] <burdickjp> how do I get it into X?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> burdickjp: run:  startx
[21:31] <lonewulf> guntbert, I realise I only was wondering if I could install the unity iterface in openSUSE or if they are ubuntu only repos?
[21:31] <cihhan> guntbert: so, there is no way to read it directly from /proc directory?
[21:31] <bazhang> lonewulf, ask in #suse
[21:32] <lonewulf> bazhang, thanks.
[21:32] <zykotick9> cihhan: you might want to try iotop
[21:32] <guntbert> cihhan: I never tried, but even then only for just one process
[21:33] <Qantourisc> pff I don't feel like installling another distribution...
[21:33] <unclewormtale> instaled ubuntu 12.10, tried to update graphic drivers, now  i lost my launch bar and title bars, where can i find help?
[21:34] <ubuntu__> hello
[21:35] <willdabeast> I lost my title bars when I installed compiz and xcompmgr, as well as my cairo-dock is blackedout now. Any fixes?
[21:35] <cihhan> zykotick9: it seems that iotop doesnt show the requests, but it shows the total or per sec
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: what video chip do you use?
[21:36] <lonewulf> that sucks there are 256 users on #suse and no one is talking
[21:36] <willdabeast> ActionParsnip, nvidia 7 series
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: what driver does nvidia-settings say you are using?
[21:37] <bekks> lonewulf: So out of frustration, you just installed Ubuntu? :)
[21:37] <acolytetojippity> does anyone have any experience installing netbeans on 12.10?
[21:37] <saber_-> Any ideas what i should put as my server if I want to Backup my files through SSH to my NAS? I know all the other parts but the server part i have no idea of.
[21:38] <willdabeast> ActionParsnip, can I check from terminal? my dock won't let me access the app menu
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[21:38] <ikonia> physically_fit: did you want me ?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> saber_-: mount sshfs using nautilus then use the mount point
[21:39] <physically_fit> ikonia, whattup. nothing, when can i talk to you again about our thing?
[21:39] <sab3r> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll look into that
[21:39] <willdabeast> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1343713/
[21:39] <ikonia> physically_fit: you're welcome to join #ubuntu-ops and talk to any of the operator team
[21:39] <zykotick9> sab3r: you might want to check-out rsync if you aren't familiar...
[21:40] <physically_fit> ikonia, they don't treat me too weel when i am there, they want me to leave immediately
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: I sugget you report a bug to the PPA maintainers. You are using a PPA for the driver
[21:40] <physically_fit> well*
[21:40] <willdabeast> ActionParsnip, does it help to say I am in gnome 3 with openGL? and where do I report the bug to them
[21:40] <ikonia> physically_fit: then sorry, can't do anything about it
[21:41] <physically_fit> ikonia, last time i was there they created a worse image of me
[21:41] <physically_fit> ikonia, you banned me, so you must resolve this
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: You are using Precise, so it's Gnome3
[21:41] <bazhang> physically_fit, NOT here
[21:41] <ikonia> physically_fit: this isn't the channel for this discussion, join #ubuntu-ops and talk to any of the team (as I explained last time, it does not have to be me)
[21:41] <david__> hola, pueden decirme como entro al xat en español
[21:41] <physically_fit> hi pastor bazhang
[21:41] <lonewulf> bekks : Ubuntu is by far my most favorite os I am running it alongside Windows 7 but I have not used Windows 7 in about 6 weeks and when I do it is only because I am playing a game on it.
[21:41] <guntbert> !es | david__
[21:41] <bazhang> david__, #ubuntu-es
[21:41] <Quogwinkle> How do I install ubuntu alongside windows on a hybrid (SSD/HDD) computer (thinkpad t430u)? My concern is that installing ubuntu will interfere with the boot process of windows. I don't need ubuntu to use the ssd.
[21:42] <willdabeast> ActionParsnip, and where do I report it?
[21:42] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: Do you have two physical drives or a hybrid drive?
[21:43] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: well, there is a "classic" hard drive and a solid state drive inside the laptop.
[21:43] <acolytetojippity> does anyone have any experience installing netbeans on 12.10?
[21:43] <guntbert> !anyone | acolytetojippity
[21:43] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: but I'm not sure about the difference really
[21:44] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: Have you ever opened the computer?  Are you able to recognize the harddrives if you see them?
[21:44] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: What does the bios see?
[21:44] <isRealBR> Quogwinkle: You can install windows and ubuntu after, GRUB will take care of allowing you to boot into both OSs.
[21:45] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: indeed, the boot process of windows is disturbed.  But Ubuntu handles this issue head-on
[21:46] <grendal_prime> im trying to screen capture with kazazm
[21:46] <grendal_prime> which works...sometimes..othertimes its like it starts then...when i go to pause it or finish..it just does nothing..and then i have to go in and kill the process off
[21:47] <grendal_prime> the werid part..it doesnt seem to be a problem if i start it from a command line.
[21:47] <grendal_prime> but if i start it from the dash it seems to fail every time
[21:47] <Quist> When you first enter a channel in irssi you see a list of users, some with an "@" at the beggining. What does that mean?
[21:47] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: how does ubuntu handle it? could it be so that I wont be able to boot windows after the install?
[21:47] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: of course not.  Ubuntu replaces the "windows boot loader" with a bootloader called grub.  Grub allows you to choose which OS to boot.  (windows or linux)
[21:48] <grendal_prime> it is a much more reliable boot loader by the way
[21:48] <acolytetojippity> @quist, it sonds like those people are ops
[21:48] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: Occasionally (VERY rarely) the automatically installation / configuration of grub goes wrong and you can't boot either.  This is usually fixed using a live CD and installing grub on your own.  Again, this is very rare.
[21:48] <grendal_prime> at work they just replace the boot loader and use it even though they dont have linux installed
[21:48] <thiebaude> or if you install ubuntu then windows
[21:48] <deadmund> grub is a much better boot loader than the windows one.  I agree.
[21:49] <thiebaude> then it will mess up
[21:49] <Qantourisc> Anyone who knows where to modify the dhclient3 arguments ?
[21:49] <grendal_prime> ya things like auto failover.
[21:49] <thiebaude> deadmund, i agree with that
[21:49] <grendal_prime> have two bootable drives..one fails it just boots the other.
[21:49] <lonewulf> deadmund : I think everyone will agree that grub beats the winloader
[21:49] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: my concern is that something like that will happen because windows uses the hybrid drive for the boot process, and that grub wont take care of that
[21:50] <grendal_prime> windows in your preus?
[21:50] <acolytetojippity> I'm trying to install netbeans on 12.10, but the installation terminal stops every time at "searching for JVM".  Anyone have a possible fix?
[21:50] <thiebaude> Quogwinkle, you should see the drives in your partitioner
[21:50] <thiebaude> when you to that aprt
[21:50] <thiebaude> part
[21:50] <thiebaude> get to that part
[21:50] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: If you have two physical drives you can install ubuntu (and the ubuntu bootloader, grub) on the drive that does not have windows installed on it.  Therefore, ubuntu won't touch anything windows.  You can choose which operating system to boot by changing the boot order in the bios.  This is not convenient.  Also, I doubt that windows is entirely on one HDD.  If you even have two harddrives.  What does the bios see?  Two harddrives or one?
[21:51] <physically_fit> wonderful
[21:51] <_DanN_> acolytetojippity: do you have java installed ?
[21:51] <Quogwinkle> thiebaude: yes, but will grub take care of that and allow windows to boot normally?
[21:51] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: also, you can look at the drives using gparted (or the partitioner in the installer) as thiebaude suggested
[21:51] <physically_fit> ikonia, how am i gonna solve my problem then?
[21:51] <thiebaude> grub wont touch it
[21:51] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: It almost definitely will install / configure itself correctly.
[21:51] <acolytetojippity> @_DanN_ I did not EXPLICITLY install t, but i'm pretty sure it's on here.  how do i check/install it if it's not?
[21:51] <k1l_> Quogwinkle: yes it will
[21:51] <Qantourisc> OK I just checked the BinARY IIFUP: chlient3 options are FIXED
[21:51] <Qantourisc> unchanble
[21:51] <Qantourisc> utter crap
[21:52] <guntbert> acolytetojippity: how are you installing netbeans?
[21:53] <acolytetojippity> i'm folowing the instructions on the netbeans installation page.  i downloaded an installation.sh, chmod +x'd it, and am running it.
[21:53] <dougb> is there a way to enable INFILE for mysql? i'm looking online, and it looks like it was compiled with that option off
[21:53] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: do I need to do something extra if I see two drives in bios?
[21:54] <guntbert> acolytetojippity: thats the wrong way - it is in the repos - so just sudo apt-get install netbeans
[21:54] <bekks> dougb: Then you'll have to recompile mysql
[21:54] <k1l_> Quogwinkle: just make sure grub2 installs into the MBR of the first booting disk
[21:54] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: Well, then we need to make a decision about which drive to install ubuntu on.  Do you see evidence of two drives or one drive anywhere?
[21:54] <escott> Quogwinkle, many systems that are shipped with two disks and windows installed have this awful intel raid enabled. so check that that is disabled
[21:56] <novaspirit> hi i'm new to irc and had a quick question. i'm in another room with 200 people and the room seems silent. i don't see people chatting like they are here. i am registered. am i doing something wrong?
[21:56] <deadmund> novaspirit: most rooms are much more quiet then this one.
[21:56] <deadmund> novaspirit: try and activate a bot
[21:57] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: I want ubuntu installed on the hdd, as on normal computers. but grub should always be installed on the primary drive? In the windows "computer management" -> disk management, I see two drives
[21:57] <acolytetojippity> guntbert, the version in the software center is out of date.  it's 7.0.1, not 7.2
[21:57] <k1l_> Quogwinkle: dont mix drive with partition
[21:58] <thiebaude> Quogwinkle, try the ubuntu live cd and see which drives are there
[21:58] <novaspirit> deadmund, it's #asus-transformer chat room with a lot of people joining. i thought i was doing something wrong but i've been in it for the past hour and no one talks or responed to my messages like this room
[21:58] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: I am not familiar with the windows tool.  It sometimes shows partitions (all on one drive) as different drives.  The only notion of a 'primary' drive is the drive that is booted by the bios.  Sometimes (with IDE) there is master / slave.  But I doubt this is the case in a SDD / HDD laptop.
[21:58] <k1l_> Quogwinkle: do a "sudo fdisk -l" (small L) from a running (live) ubuntu
[21:58] <Quogwinkle> k1l_: I dont think I am, because both drives have several partitions. and the computer spec. says it is a hybrid device with both optical and ss dirves
[21:58] <deadmund> novaspirit: just a quiet room
[21:59] <thiebaude> novaspirit, happens to me somtimes, justmeans ppl not talking
[21:59] <novaspirit> deadmund, lols so it's not me.
[21:59] <deadmund> Quogwinkle: I think you should boot the ubuntu live CD, start gparted.  And see what drives it sees
[21:59] <deadmund> novaspirit: correct
[21:59] <escott> k1l_, Quogwinkle use sudo parted -l not sudo fdisk -l
[21:59] <thiebaude> exactly
[22:00] <k1l_> escott: why not fdisk?
[22:00] <novaspirit> deadmund, man. i was trying to figure out if some one can teach me to dual boot my transformer too.... =(
[22:00] <escott> k1l_, it cannot read gpt partition tables
[22:00] <Quogwinkle> deadmund: okay, Ill reboot and have a look now, thanks all!
[22:00] <novaspirit> deadmund, android + ubuntu = love
[22:00] <k1l_> escott: hmm, well. you are right :) i have to get used to gpt :)
[22:01] <OpenSorce> 12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do?
[22:01] <bkc_> so, quick question to a dev here :) now that there's systemd, will you change to that or stick to upstart? :)
[22:01] <deadmund> bkc_: There are probably not any devs here
[22:02] <shade34321> Whenever I login my screen goes black and displays some text and then goes back to the login screen. When I use a tty to reset unity with, unity --reset it gives me an error saying couldn't open display :0. I get the same error when using Display=:0 unity --replace. Any suggestions?
[22:02] <odutta> Does anyone know why only certain processes can be backgrounded? For example: If I open vim and then ctrl-Z and type "bg", why does the process not run in the background?
[22:02] <escott> bkc_, and that question has been asked many times of the ubuntu developers and their responses can easily be found with google
[22:02] <bkc_> deadmund: okey, anyone related to the development then ^.^
[22:02] <bkc_> escott: thanks, will do :)
[22:02] <escott> odutta, how exactly would it continue to run in the background? what would it be doing?
[22:02] <OpenSorce> Isn't there a #ubuntu-devel channel as well?
[22:03] <jordanm> odutta: probably because vim want's to be attached to a terminal
[22:03] <deadmund> bkc_: Don't bother them if you can find it on google but there is #ubuntu-devel
[22:04] <odutta> escott: I'm not sure. But I've been playing with remoting into my ubuntu server and I know how to use screen. But let's say I forgot to use screen, and I couldn't theoretically save my document. How could I bg and disown vim without killing it. I suppose that is the question.
[22:04] <bkc_> deadmund: aah, well I found a wiki-page on systemd/ubuntu so I'll just read that :)
[22:04] <odutta> But I understand how it not being connected to a terminal is an issue.
[22:04] <bkc_> deadmund: mainly curious, not really interested :)
[22:04] <deadmund> bkc_: ok
[22:05] <escott> odutta, if you disowned vim... then vim would have no chance of ever getting input... it would be less than useless
[22:06] <odutta> escott: So is there a way of detaching an application from the current terminal and having it hover, and then reconnecting to it from another one?
[22:06] <escott> odutta, thats what screen is for
[22:06] <bkc_> odutta: detach :)
[22:06] <glebihan_> bkc_, ubuntu will stick to upstart
[22:06] <bkc_> glebihan_: thanks :)
[22:06] <glebihan_> bkc_, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1121
[22:07] <glebihan_> bkc_, it's clearly said there
[22:08] <odutta> Hold on, I will man detach. I guess I'm trying to figure out the best way to not kill an app if you need to send a SIGHUP, and you do not have the program screened. I've just learned that only certain programs can be backgrounded.
[22:08] <marcellu`> I just finished this guide to set up a mail server: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix. I need to access the virtual mail inboxes from a program i'm writing. I added the user account the program will run under to the virtual group but I can't seem to set the correct permissions on the virtual directory to allow access to all the mail. When I set execute permissions for the mail directories, I still can't read the raw, mail files, and the
[22:08] <marcellu`> permissions show up as "rws". Does this have something to do with the fact that "virtual" is a system group, and does anyone know a way around this?
[22:08] <rypervenche> odutta: There is a way to do what you want with a specific program.
[22:08] <lmat> Does ubuntu come with alternate console fonts?
[22:08] <lmat> (like psf2 fonts... gr737b-9x16-medieval.psfu.gz for instance?
[22:08] <lmat> )
[22:08] <bkc_> odutta: I usually use detach with /bin/bash for ssh-access :)
[22:09] <bcuraboy> hi guys.simple question: how can i have folder preview in Caja?
[22:09] <crackerjackz> i'm trying to install this pcsx2 (playstation 2 emulator) but it says there are some dependencies, i can't seem to find those packages in the repos could someone help me figure out the names of the packages needed for pcsx2 to work? http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/linux/viewcategory/4-linux.html
[22:09] <acolytetojippity> guntbert, yeah, apt-get gave me the out of date one.
[22:09] <odutta> bkc_: In what manner do you detach? "detach" itself doesn't seem to be a bash command.
[22:10] <bkc_> odutta: (or screen/tmux) to always get back to where I was previously. just setup you're .bashrc to look for SSH-session and automagically start the old detached session again :)
[22:10] <bkc_> odutta: 'detach' is an app in apt :)
[22:10] <odutta> bkc_: Ah I see now.
[22:11] <odutta> Well I guess I will really have to remember to use my screens.
[22:11] <Jmev> what's the proper way to  mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu is running as a guest?
[22:11] <bkc_> It's like screen, just more lightweight and no tabbed terminals... it's mainly for detaching a single process (like do-system-upgrade or something like that )
[22:11] <angs> is there any command to update all hardware drivers?
[22:11] <OpenSorce> 12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do?
[22:12] <bkc_> angs: apt-get upgrade ?
[22:12] <bkc_> or updatE*
[22:12] <odutta> bkc_: thank you escott: thank you
[22:12] <odutta> New fun things to try!
[22:12] <odutta> :)
[22:12] <crimsonmane> bkc_: update simply checks to see if there's anything new. upgrade installs the updates. and dist-upgrade will apply any new kernel available in the repo
[22:14] <sddhrthrt> Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT

[22:14] <bas_> Hi
[22:14] <angs> I did apt-get update and upgrade however my laptop works too slow. I guess it is because of the drivers
[22:14] <yuri__> Hi. How do I start gnome-fallback with no effects from xdm?
[22:14] <crimsonmane> Steam Beta Invites are going to be rolled out over time, building 'steam' rofl as time goes on
[22:14] <bas_> Can anybody help me with an anoying problem?
[22:15] <crimsonmane> !ask | bas_
[22:15] <yuri__> someone fucked up GDM in recent update and it now exists right before login screen shows up
[22:15] <sddhrthrt> Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
[22:15] <crimsonmane> !language | yuri__
[22:15] <yuri__> i wish there would be more testing done
[22:15] <bas_> since I shut down my laptop disabled
[22:15] <Jmev> btw, I'm running ubuntu 12.04
[22:15] <bas_> mistype
[22:16] <bas_> Since I shut down my laptop with wifi disabled
[22:16] <bas_> I have to dis- and enable wifi when I log on to go online
[22:16] <sddhrthrt> Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
[22:16] <lunaphyte_> hi.  i have two computers, both running 12.10 desktop.  one one, the applications' menu bar is part of its window, and on the other, the menu bar is in the desktop's menu bar.  i am probably not using accurate terminology here, but i'm wonding how i can change this setting?
[22:18] <escott> lunaphyte_, its called global menubar
[22:21] <bas_> after a while of using mint 13 mate, i shut down my laptop with wifi disabled through Fn keys, but ever since that I have to dis- and enable it for it to work
[22:22] <escott> !mint | bas_
[22:22] <bas_> They're are not responding to my questions there.
[22:22] <escott> bas_, so
[22:23] <marsfligth> Does Ubuntu keep a copy of printed documents as default?
[22:23] <bas_> And since mint is ubuntu-based, i thought i could find a solution here
[22:23] <escott> marsfligth, no
[22:23] <sddhrthrt> Someone, please help. This is irritating. Here is my suspend log, i'm sure it's a simple bug. http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT
[22:23] <lunaphyte_> escott: thanks, that's the clue i needed.
[22:24] <marsfligth> escott: so, only the list of jobs printed and the documents name
[22:24] <sddhrthrt> Laptop gets hung on black screen, when i sspend or shut down.
[22:24] <escott> marsfligth, it may get kept in /tmp or /var somewhere while the queue is running
[22:24] <sddhrthrt> I'm supposed to force-sleep some network-related component, is it? Which and how?
[22:25] <maxbit> hy @all some one here i could ask a question about the /dev/videox device and the videodev kernel module?
[22:25] <lunaphyte_> something else isn't working quite right with the desktop interface on one of the computers.
[22:25] <escott> marsfligth, see /var/spool/cups
[22:26] <marsfligth> escott: in 'http://localhost:631/' there is a list of moths of printing jobs
[22:26] <lunaphyte_> when i press the super key, is doesn't bring up the dash.  but if i put the mouse cursor on the menu bar at the top of the screen, it does.
[22:26] <lunaphyte_> it also works if there is an application running.
[22:27] <lunaphyte_> but when i close all applications, the last one closed has its name left in the menu bar, on the left side.  it never says "ubuntu desktop"
[22:27] <escott> marsfligth, and thats probably reading from /var/spool/cups, but i dont think the actual document contents are stored anywhere
[22:29] <marsfligth> escott: good to know, thanks
[22:31] <crackerjackz> im trying to install wine but its asking me to accept a EULA for mscorefonts, it won't let me accept the licence agreement i press enter and nothing happens... i also tried pressing Y
[22:31] <xangua> crackerjackz: tab
[22:32] <sddhrthrt> Somebody, please?
[22:32] <sddhrthrt> I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
[22:32] <xangua> lunaphyte_: sounds like you are running gnome-shell, not unity
[22:33] <lunaphyte_> xangua: how can i tell?
[22:33] <crackerjackz> xangua: i closed it out, but now when i try to run the command it says could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock  open (11: resource temporarily unavailable) unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/, is another process using it?
[22:34] <lunaphyte_> xangua: i initially installed 12.04 on this computer, and the super key worked as expected.  it broke upon upgrading to 12.10
[22:34] <escott> !aptlock | crackerjackz
[22:35] <crackerjackz> escott: thank you
[22:37] <maxbit> hy can some one tell me on how do i get the videodev module loaded or installed on a ubuntu server?
[22:37] <Jmev> what's the proper way to  mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu (12.04) is running as a guest?
[22:38] <escott> maxbit, modprobe videodev
[22:39] <maxbit> escott i tryed but it looks like the module isn't installed
[22:39] <escott> maxbit, its possible they use a different kernel config and dont make that module
[22:39] <Jmev> I have tried sudo pmount /media/win-mystuff/   mystuff
[22:40] <crackerjackz> when i try to remove wine it tells me this... debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[22:40] <Jmev> I get error;  Error: invalid device
[22:40] <maxbit> i probably should say that i use a arm plattform(pandaboard) and try to get my webcam running on /dev/videox
[22:41] <maxbit> the only thing i could find out that the videodev in't present if i type sudo lsmod

[22:44] <maxbit> is it possible to compile the module and load it manual?
[22:45] <jordanm> sure
[22:45] <dr_willis> see if the module is on the system first?
[22:45] <lizardbrain> where does apt cache downloads
[22:45] <dr_willis> then load it with modprobe if it is.
[22:46] <lizardbrain> just did a zillion updates on one machine and want to rsync the archives at least over to another
[22:46] <maxbit> how i look if it is present on file system?
[22:46] <lizardbrain> so i dont have to download em again
[22:46] <escott> lizardbrain, /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:46] <escott> maxbit, locate videodev.ko
[22:47] <dr_willis>  lizardbrain you may want to look into apt-cacher-ng
[22:47] <lizardbrain> escott, tyvm
[22:47] <bekks> maxbit: better solution: find /lib/modules -type f -name videodev.ko
[22:47] <maxbit> @escott there is no output on the terminal
[22:47] <orlok> Does anybody know of an oddifical hardening standard for Ubuntu?
[22:47] <orlok> official, even
[22:48] <maxbit> ok it's not there
[22:48] <orlok> CIS have a Debian standard, but its not entirely relevant
[22:48] <escott> maxbit, you could grab a desktop kernel or build your own
[22:48] <Xanthippus> Hi everyone!
[22:49] <Xanthippus> I'm trying to download the package "netcfg", but it's not found by apt-get
[22:49] <Xanthippus> Can anyone help?
[22:49] <maxbit> ok will try this probably some one has a good tut on how i do this it's for a omap4 plattform?
[22:50] <xangua> !find netcfg | Xanthippus
[22:50] <dr_willis> hmm.
[22:50] <Xanthippus> xangua: Would I have to add "awesome-extra" repo?
[22:51] <Xanthippus> Wait, is awesome-extra even a repo?
[22:52] <unrar> hi
[22:52] <escott> Xanthippus, no its  a package
[22:53] <Xanthippus> Can I just get netcfg only out of that package?
[22:53] <Xanthippus> That's all I need, only because for some reason, my network doesn't connect automatically
[22:53] <Xanthippus> I have to run iwconfig, like, 5 times
[22:54] <bananapie> I am writing a nagios script that checks if a server accepts a password at ssh prompt. Is there an easy way to check, via a script, if my ubuntu ssh server accepts passwords ?
[22:54] <rmo_> hello, how to regenerate /etc/apt/sources.list? it wasn't properly created during install
[22:55] <adante> bazhang: no worries ;]
[22:55] <orlok> bananapie: thats a slightly.. odd way to do it?
[22:55] <escott> bananapie, you can parse the output of ssh -vv
[22:56] <blackshirt> helllo andy
[22:56] <bananapie> I think that parsing ssh -vv could work
[22:57] <orlok> does ssh have a timeout value?
[22:57] <orlok> bananapie: usually you just check if the sockets listening - do your systems have a habit of getting their sshd config changed all the time?
[22:58] <bananapie> orlok, no, but I setup a new server recently and forgot to secure the ssh server
[22:59] <bananapie> and was hacked in a few hours.
[22:59] <Xanthippus> bananapie: How did you find out you were hacked?
[22:59] <deadmund> bananapie: indeed.  How were you, "hacked"
[22:59] <jefimenko> how can i give a user permission to create raw sockets without giving full root access?
[22:59] <jefimenko> is there a way to grant just that one permission
[23:00] <orlok> bananapie: kind of a backwards way to deal with it..
[23:00] <jordanm> jefimenko: they should be able to, just above port 1024
[23:00] <orlok> bananapie: Look at OSSec.
[23:00] <escott> jefimenko, CAP_NET_RAW
[23:00] <Linkandzelda> omg guys. I just lost 1.8 TB of data, it vanished on my drive in the last 30 mins!
[23:01] <jefimenko> escott: what's the context for CAP_NET_RAW? how do i grant it to a user?
[23:01] <Linkandzelda> can someone help me fix this? O_O
[23:02] <bananapie> It was the first breach I have had on my servers since I became responsable for them 4 years ago.
[23:02] <polarbear> how to remove itunes on wine.   not in terminal pls
[23:02] <escott> jefimenko, with setcap on the binary
[23:02] <Xanthippus> bananapie: How did you find the breach?
[23:03] <bananapie> It's embarrassing to say, but my internet provider received a complaint that my server was scanning servers all over the net.
[23:03] <jefimenko> escott: thanks
[23:03] <bananapie> I hadn't installed my normal security policy on the machine, and I let a n00b choose the root password :$
[23:03] <escott> bananapie, there is no root password
[23:05] <Xanthippus> Say what
[23:05] <orlok> escott: there is if you set one
[23:05] <orlok> bananapie: install ossec
[23:05] <bananapie> ok
[23:05] <Xanthippus> What's that?
[23:06] <orlok> Xanthippus: FIM, HIDS, polity compliance and some other stuff
[23:06] <orlok> bananapie: It will generate emails when somebody attempts to brute force your system. also, theres tools like fail2ban
[23:07] <Xanthippus> orlok: I have that on my server, how to configure it?
[23:07] <orlok> bananapie: I'm actually trying to find documentation on a hardening standard for Ubuntu currently - There doesnt appear to be one.
[23:07]  * maxbit thanks escott
[23:07] <orlok> Xanthippus: Set the email address and mail server in its config file is the first step!
[23:07] <maxbit> it looks like it'll work
[23:08] <Xanthippus> Would the domain name for my mail server be my DDNS?
[23:08] <bananapie> I think my hardening
[23:09] <bananapie> I hardened my ubuntu pretty well. I did some serious customisations of apparmor.d amonst other things.
[23:09] <arand> orlok: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security is a starting point I assume.
[23:10] <orlok> arand: I'm more after something like the CIS standards. Theres one for Debian, but Ubuntu has deviated far enough away that its not really relevant
[23:11] <orlok> arand: https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/en-us/?route=downloads.multiform
[23:11] <arand> orlok: I don't know of one, maybe there are somethng mentioned on the wiki, or likely #ubuntu-hardened knows
[23:16] <sharon> anyone had luck with a Nikon Coolpix l110?  I plug it in via USB and get nothing.
[23:18] <nydel> sharon: do you have an external storage card on the device you could use instead of plugging in the camera directly? i'm assuming you just want to transfer files?
[23:18] <bananapie> I just realized that I am in the wrong chat room. Sorry guys!
[23:19] <yeats> sharon: when you've plugged it in, can you see it when you do 'lsusb' in the terminal?
[23:19] <sharon> nydel, yes, but that slot doesnt' seem to be working either.  tailing /var/log/syslog doesn't show anything helpful
[23:20] <nydel> sharon: is it a little sd card
[23:21] <sharon> yeats, lsusb:  Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04b0:017e Nikon Corp.
[23:21] <sharon> nydel, it is.
[23:21] <yeats> sharon: okay, so the system "knows" it's plugged in... does it show up in Nautilus?
[23:21] <nydel> sharon: lsmod | grep sd, please?
[23:22] <nydel> (back in one minute)
[23:22] <sharon> yeats, I'm in Xfce, but it doesn't show up in the equivalent (Thunar?)
[23:22] <escott> sharon, i think most of the nikons use the proprietary protocal so you need to install libgphoto2 and use one of those tools
[23:22] <yeats> sharon: okay
[23:23] <sharon> nydel, nothing, but the card is back in the camera at the moment
[23:23] <hamo_osmo> anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've  found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU. I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated.
[23:24] <OerHeks> sharon with Nikon you can try this pagem gphoto2 and gtkam >> http://deadlytechnology.com/linux/save-photos-nikon-ubuntu/
[23:24] <burdickjp> my fresh 12.10 install freezes while booting, directly after "starting configure virtual network devices"
[23:25] <burdickjp> It does not respond to any keyboard inputs
[23:25] <yakeb> hi all, i'm on linux mint lisa, and i'm trying to output the s-video out on an intel 965gm card to the television, but i cannot get it to work. i've tried several different kernels, as advised in some documentation found online, but i can't seem to get it to work. any advice would be appreciated.
[23:26] <nydel> sharon: have you verified that the card is readable?
[23:26] <sharon> nydel, they show up on the camera's screen
[23:26] <yakeb> sorry i meant to put that in the linux mint chat room, but i suppose if anybody knows the answer to this problem, it would still be appreciated.
[23:27] <nydel> sharon: ok so it's likely fine. would you plug it in to your pc? what version of ubuntu are you running?
[23:27] <burdickjp> when I unplug and replug the keyboard I get some kernel debug.  When I hit the power key it shuts down normally
[23:27] <sharon> nydel, 12.04
[23:27] <nydel> sharon: by "it" i mean the sd card, not the camera. unless you want to set up the camera for some reason?
[23:27] <sharon> Unable to locate package libgphoto2...
[23:29] <nydel> sharon: what gives you that error?
[23:29] <zvacet> sharon; it should be there because it is in main repo
[23:29] <escott> !info libgphoto2-2
[23:30] <OerHeks> ah thanks escott, i couldn't find it :-)
[23:30] <sharon> nydel, already installed
[23:31] <burdickjp> I'm on an atom Z670, is anyone familiar with that architecture?
[23:31] <nydel> sharon: sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-2
[23:31] <sharon> nydel, and lsmod | grep sd is showing nothing.  I wonder if the card reader is broke.  It doesn't feel right
[23:31] <nydel> sharon: you've already done that?
[23:31] <sharon> nydel, it was already installed I guess before I sat down here tonihgt
[23:31] <blackshirt> hello
[23:32] <nydel> sharon: could you try running that apt-get real quick anyway
[23:32] <compdoc> burdickjp, never seen one. Is it running ubuntu?
[23:32] <sharon> nydel, libgphoto2-2 is already the newest version.
[23:32] <nydel> sharon: then try "sudo mount -a" & open nautilus
[23:32] <nydel> sharon: if "sudo mount -a" has odd output please pastebin it
[23:32] <escott> nydel, gphoto does not support a filesystem. stop telling sharon to use mount
[23:33] <escott> sharon, you have to use one of the other tools like gphoto or gtkam or the command line tool to get an image of these kinds of cameras
[23:33] <burdickjp> say 'yes' if anyone is seeing this
[23:33] <escott> burdickjp, no
[23:33] <nydel> escott: i have heard of poorly configured mounts getting in the way for people trying to use sd cards
[23:34] <blackshirt> sd cards reader,commonly works greatfully for me
[23:34] <escott> nydel, but the 110 is a PTP mode camera
[23:34] <burdickjp> just making sure I'm actually being ignored and am not in some way not being seen.  thank you.
[23:35] <sharon> is there a gui for browsing the camera?
[23:35] <crackerjackz> how do i search for / fix broken packages
[23:35] <blackshirt> burdickjp,what the problems ?
[23:35] <nydel> blackshirt: same for me, once though i had a bad line in my fstab using curlftpfs & during that i couldn't use my sd drive
[23:35] <crackerjackz> i'm trying to install some things but i keep getting error messages like pcsx2-plugins : Depends: libsoundtouch1c2 (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable
[23:35] <crackerjackz> E: Broken packages
[23:36] <burdickjp> my fresh 12.10 install freezes while booting, directly after "starting configure virtual network devices"
[23:36] <zvacet> burdickjp: if someone can help believe me it will just calm down
[23:36] <escott> sharon, try one of the photo managemant applications shotwell or gphoto and try to import from there
[23:36] <blackshirt> nydel,maybe you need remove it from fstab
[23:36] <OerHeks> sharon, in that url, gtkam is the gui for gphonto2
[23:36] <sharon> gtkam looks promising.  I think they shook hands anyway
[23:37] <nydel> blackshirt: i did & all was fixed. i was just explaining to escott why i asked to get an error from mount -a.
[23:37] <hamo_osmo> anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've  found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes.

I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated.
[23:37] <burdickjp> i've been at it, and on here, literally all day and the first response I've gotten han been to asking if I'm being seen.
[23:38] <blackshirt> burdickjp, can you describe your problems detailly,i was sit here for just a time
[23:39] <nydel> sharon: i'm reading that people have luck rebooting with the sd card in the slot. it's not ideal but it could be a solution. also after reboot you can try "sudo su -l; echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan"
[23:40] <burdickjp> I'm on a dell latitude ST, intel atom Z670, following poulsbo boot directions and this guide: http://www.mogilowski.net/lang/en-us/2012/02/15/install-ubuntu-on-dell-latitude-st-tablet/ boot hangs at said point and is unresponsive to keyboard
[23:42] <blackshirt> burdickjp, wow, i have not this devices before ....intel atom proc was supported in linux .... Try to disable some options in installer
[23:43] <burdickjp> blackshirt:  such as?
[23:44] <blackshirt> burdickjp, acpi=off
[23:45] <jagosix> hello peopl
[23:46] <blackshirt> hello jagosix
[23:46] <jagosix> well I accidently deleted some files off a hard drive ntfs with linux.. is there a way to recover them ?
[23:46] <burdickjp> the install media loads fine with the following:  poulsbo.blacklist=yes console=tty1 sdhci.debug_quirks=4
[23:47] <blackshirt> burdickjp, greats
[23:48] <escott> !undelete | jagosix
[23:48] <burdickjp> install runs fine, first boot hangs at mentioned place
[23:48] <blackshirt> jagosix, i don't know...you remove it through some file manager?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> burdickjp: add that to the first boot, then get updated
[23:49] <jagosix> dolphin
[23:49] <burdickjp> actionpartnership: have, hangs at mentioned place
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> jagosix: use your backups
[23:49] <jagosix> I have 3 ntfs partitions and I deleted some files off of it.
[23:49] <jagosix> no backups
[23:49] <jagosix> was doing it
[23:49] <blackshirt> jagosix, have you shift delete it ? If not, maybe they reside in dolphin "thrash"
[23:50] <jagosix> tried to resore from dolphin trash
[23:50] <jagosix> no go
[23:50] <blackshirt> good luck
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> jagosix: why is there no backup if the data is important?
[23:50] <blackshirt> have you been emptying it?
[23:50] <jagosix> i was in the process of backing it up.
[23:51] <escott> blackshirt, dolphin might not be keeping a trash archive for an external or ntfs partition
[23:51] <blackshirt> escott, maybe .... I have no play with dolphin before, but thanks guys
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> jagosix: try foremost
[23:52] <burdickjp> jagosix: on the external drive is there a folder called .Trash-1000
[23:52] <burdickjp> or similar
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> jagosix: I suggest you revise your backup procedure, it seems to detroy data.....
[23:52] <jagosix> ya think
[23:53] <burdickjp> dolphin creates hidden folders at the root of the filesystem
[23:53] <burdickjp> the files in question may be in there
[23:53] <carl0s-> My desktop/background is "sticky", like a hung app. Windows are being permanently painted onto it. Is this a known bug?
[23:53] <jagosix> the files are on a NTFS drive
[23:53] <jagosix> oops were
[23:54] <hamo_osmo> i am going to continue posting my question until someone answers,
[23:54] <burdickjp> jagosix:where is it mounted?
[23:54] <hamo_osmo> anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've  found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU.

[23:54] <jagosix> disk-1
[23:54] <escott> carl0s-, sounds like nautilus may be hung and not responding to xdamage requests. try "killall nautilus & nautilus"
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> jagosix: unmount the partition, you will need a partition mounted writable to put ALL the files on there that it comes across
[23:54] <carl0s-> Also, the columns in nautilus are still resizing themselves constantly when I right click. It makes the whole thing slow as crap on my U9400 processor.
[23:55] <carl0s-> escott, it has been a persistent problem through reboots over more than a week.
[23:55] <burdickjp> jagosix:open a command prompt and type df -h.  tell me where this thing is mounted
[23:55] <Freeaqingme> How do I find out what dns servers are effectively used? Running Ubuntu Server, no nameservers specified in networking/interfaces, resolv.conf managed by resolvconf
[23:56] <jagosix> hold a min I must bring the computer back up.
[23:56] <jagosix> as soon as I deleted it. I shut it down.
[23:57] <burdickjp> hamo_osmo: what specific intel graphics?
[23:57] <kanliot> i'm trying to write a little documentation: is mount.cifs included by default in ubuntu 12.10?
[23:57] <carl0s-> Anyone: open up a folder with  lots of items in nautilus, then change to list-view  (CTRL-2), and do some left-clicking and right-clicking. Does the "Name" column keep shifting in and out? It's more noticable with a large number of items, e.g., when Show Hidden Files is enabled (Ctrl-H).
[23:58] <hamo_osmo> burdickjp: Intel Corporation Core processor Integrated graphics Controller (i3 processsor)
[23:58] <jagosix> the drives are not auto mounted
[23:58] <jagosix> i do it manually
[23:58] <hamo_osmo> burdickjp: Ive been trying to do some googling on potential legacy drivers
[23:59] <kanliot> ^^ you should be able to check for mount.cifs by typing it in the command line or looking in /sbin TIA
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> kanliot: you will need cifs-utils
[23:59] <burdickjp> hamo_osmo:when it maxes out, what process is doing it?
