ActionParsnipkanliot: if you run the command, the OS tells you00:00
kanliotActionParsnip, TYVM.  how did you verify that it's not in a fresh install of ubunut?00:00
burdickjpjagosix:let me know when you're up00:00
jagosixdev/sdb700:00
escottcarl0s-, well nautilus seems to be having trouble. you could disable nautilus drawing the desktop as a workaround for the weird desktop00:00
ActionParsnipkanliot: I just install raring about an hour ago00:00
ActionParsnipkanliot: i also just ran the command and the OS tells you00:00
kanliotok thanks again, you've helped me before, you're a real trooper ActionParsnip00:00
ActionParsnipkanliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344004/00:01
ActionParsnipkanliot: works with any command00:01
hamo_osmoburdickjp: what ever process is running the video so it may be VLC or the browser for flash00:01
jagosixim up burdickjp00:02
carl0s-escott, that's an idea. How do I do that?00:02
hamo_osmoburdickjp: A co-worker said that legacy hardware will usually generate a  warning upon OS installation. I got no such warning.00:02
carl0s-escott, and yes, nautilus is very broke. much of the desktop is difficult and annoying truth be told.00:02
escottcarl0s-, in dconf-editor or gconf-editor under apps/nautilus you can find a setting for the desktop00:02
burdickjpjagosix:are you mounting the drive via the "devices" pane in dolphin, or command line?00:02
jagosixdevices in dolphin00:03
burdickjpjagosix:go ahead and open the root folder of the device in dolphin00:03
ActionParsnipjagosix: if you are using foremost, you want the partition unmounted00:03
rsumiis it possible to autohide the top bar in gnome/ubuntu 12.10?00:04
jagosixforemost ?00:04
kanliotI'm having a problem updating 10.04.  (i need 10.04 because newer kernels won't boot) the updates are not downloading because part of the updates are wget 's that don't download from broken ubuntu.com links.  any advice?00:04
burdickjpActionParsnip:if he deleted them via dolphin they may be in a hidden folder on the root of the device00:04
ActionParsnipburdickjp: is that a Dolphin thing?00:04
cjaewow is gnome 3 hard toget used to    why when i try to add my current user to vboxusers by sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers cjae and select something under vbox it tells me that i am not under vboxusers and how do I see this info?00:05
burdickjpActionParsnip:yes00:05
carl0s-escott, thanks, but I don't see any apps -> nautilus in dconf-editor00:05
ActionParsnipkanliot: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   sudo apt-get update00:05
escottcjae, try logging out00:05
ActionParsnipburdickjp: freaky00:05
carl0s-escott, I might just wait another 6 days and give fedora a shot.00:05
cjaegnome seems to have very little in system settings00:05
gustavoldis there repositories available for old ubuntu versions? I need to use 8.1000:05
escott!eol | gustavold00:05
ubottugustavold: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades00:05
carl0s-escott, i've put up with this dodgy window management crap for what feels like a year now.00:06
ActionParsnipgustavold: there may be PPAs but Intrepid is super dead. I suggest you upgrade00:06
burdickjpjagosix:when you have the root of the device open go to "view" and check the box for "show hidden files"00:06
cjaebrb but i think i tried that already escott00:06
escottcarl0s-, there is a nautilus section in gconf/dconf somewhere don't remember whwere00:06
escottcjae, then check the output of "groups"00:06
gustavoldActionParsnip: I need to run this damn closed app that does not work on anything older than 8.10 :(00:06
jagosixdone00:06
hamo_osmois anyone here running an integrated video card on 12.1???00:06
jagosixnow what ?00:07
burdickjpjagosix:there should be a folder called ".Trash-"something00:07
ActionParsnipgustavold: are there no alternatives00:07
burdickjpjagosix:open it, see if your stuff is in there00:07
jagosixuhmnnno... remember this is a NTFS partition00:07
gustavoldActionParsnip: making the closed app work on newer distros... but I don't know how to do that00:07

jagosixbut it's a NTFS drive00:09

rsumiI'm drinking java right now00:09
cjaeescott, thanks must have typed command wrong before when I logged out00:10
ActionParsnipjagosix: try foremost on the unmounted partition00:10
kanliotActionParsnip, what do i google for the instructions?00:10
burdickjpjagosix:cause I just checked my 2TB NTFS and it has that folder, full of the things i've remrved in dolphin00:10
ActionParsnipkanliot: no need, just use software centre. You don't need to use google for everything you know00:10
gustavoldActionParsnip: every year they release a new version of the app, but I have to use the old one (from early 2009)... it didn't work well on my fedora then I decided to try something older00:11
ActionParsnipgustavold: I suggest a virtual machine running Precise and install Oracle Java, then try the app00:12
navetzhi I have a hp envy 17 3d laptop. I just installed ubuntu but I am having a couple bugs. Is there a ubuntu support page for this laptop and are there video card drivers available to download? currently I can't run a lot of compiz effects00:12
gustavoldActionParsnip: thanks... I will try that00:12
ActionParsnipnavetz: what video chip do you use?00:13
navetzActionParsnip: The laptop has: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 Graphics with up to 3835MB total graphics memory with 1GB dedicated00:14
ActionParsnipnavetz: and what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc00:14
navetzActionParsnip: quantal00:15
ActionParsnipnavetz: and if you run:  sudo lshw -C display      do you see    driver=fglrx00:15
ActionParsnipnavetz: do you also see an Intel GPU00:16
navetzActionParsnip: this is my output: http://pastebin.com/19tHfcdE00:17
gustavoldwait, 8.04 is not eol yet... perhaps that would help00:17
ActionParsnipnavetz: install the proprietary driver, you are using the open source driver at the moment00:17
ActionParsnipgustavold: it is on the desktop00:17
kailasI'm writing a sh script and i think i'm running into a noob issue. trying to call another script in the current directory but it keeps saying it can't be found (even specifying an absolute path) : http://pastebin.com/cuCr62H700:18
navetzActionParsnip: okay, do I find that on ATI's website ?00:18
ActionParsnip!ati | navetz00:18
ubottunavetz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto00:18
navetzActionParsnip: thank you00:18
ActionParsnipkailas: you don't need the file extension, it does nothing.00:18
ActionParsnipkailas: did you mark the file as executable?00:19
navetzActionParsnip: hopefully this fixes some of my issues. Would you happen to know why ubuntu one is unusably slow when i start my computer, but if I turn it off then on with compiz it's lightning fast?00:19
kailasActionParsnip: yeah, it's executable.  i can issue the same command at my command line and it works00:19
JonathanDawdyhey anyone know any good encription programs for ubuntu00:19
ActionParsnipkailas: I believe you need line 7 to be:    exec "$PROGRAM"00:20

nitinhello guys, any updates on Pidgin integration with the new messaging menu in Ubuntu 12.10?00:20
ActionParsnipkailas: I'd ask in #bash00:22
navetzalso should I use fglrx or fglrx-updates?00:22
kanliotActionParsnip, i think it's fixed now, update manager seems to have downloaded evrything after i switched to the "main" like you said00:22
ActionParsnipkanliot: sweet00:23

ActionParsnipgustavold: not really advised but neither are supported so it's youorcall.00:33
ActionParsnipgustavold: I suggest you install Precise, then Oracle Java then try there. I bet it works.00:33
kailasActionParsnip: sorry, took the discussion to bash00:34

alphackexcuse me, does anybody knows how does the cache memory works on ubuntu?00:36
alphacki mean, like a really explicit explanation00:36

alphackanyone knows?00:37
iFlipalphack: i know it uses memory00:38
ActionParsnipalphack: its the same as the page file in Windows00:38
ActionParsnipalphack: its also used for suspend / hibernate00:39
alphackhow can i see the source code?00:39
dob1hi, i have created some shares from nautilis, but where are these shares written ? and how can i see all of them/manage them?  i was looking at /etc/samba/smb.conf but they are not there00:39
ActionParsnipalphack: its in the kernel, you will need the kernel code. Why do you want the source code? What will that achieve?00:39
alphackit's for a homework00:39

ActionParsniparcu-pe: you can paste all you like in #ubuntu-offtopic  this is pure support00:41
alphackhow are these different from other opperative systems?00:42
ActionParsnipalphack: then I'd ask in #kernel or #linux00:42
dob1the windows shares that i created from nautilus are not managed by samba?00:42
ActionParsnipdob1: they are shared via samba00:42
alphackwell, thank you00:43
dob1ActionParsnip: and where are them?  i don't find them on smb.conf00:43

fagioliperfect :)00:45
ActionParsnipdob1: did any of the other links there help?00:45
dob1ActionParsnip: i found them /var/lib/samba/usershares , thanks for the links00:49
ActionParsnipdob1: again.....too hard?00:49
dob1ActionParsnip: i didn't find them on google, and yes too hard because i was looking on smb.conf, standard place for shared configuration00:49
ActionParsnipdob1: did you try another searc engine then...if google comes up blank?00:50
ActionParsnipdob1: you can use smb.conf but nautilus doesn't use it00:50
dob1ActionParsnip: anyway maybe my search was not accurate00:50
ActionParsnipdob1: mine was as basic as it comes....00:51
dob1ActionParsnip: you will get a google award for this00:51
ActionParsnipdob1: if google comes up with nothing, try other search engines00:51
dob1ActionParsnip: if i can't find it on google the page doesn't exists for me00:51
ActionParsnipdob1: there is more than google00:52
dob1ActionParsnip: well, i keep using google00:52
ActionParsnipdob1: try others, that's my point00:53
ActionParsnipdob1: notice how I din't use google and you got an answer....00:53
ActionParsnipdob1: think about it00:53
ActionParsnipdob1: google bubbles you, restricting your answers00:53
ActionParsnipdob1: I suggest you read this: http://dontbubble.us/00:55
ActionParsnipdob1: google isn't that great00:55
dob1ActionParsnip: anyway looking your search terms on google i found the pages you linked,  i was searching  ubuntu where are samba share written, instead of your search00:56
ActionParsnipdob1: i'd check the link dude, see how google works00:57
dob1ActionParsnip: i take a look00:58
khad76duckduckgo is pretty rad01:01
ActionParsnipgoogle isn't that great, I use it as a secondary01:02
dob1ActionParsnip: i see the video, and read the site, ok i get it, but i think this is related to personal search, this was a "general" search01:03
ActionParsnipdob1: you still get bubbled01:04
dob1ActionParsnip: maybe, but if for example i look for a cinema, i'd like that it gives the cinema near to me, not the ones nears to you,  just an example01:05
ActionParsnipdob1: it does have advantages, but it does have disadvantages too01:05
dob1ActionParsnip: it's ok what is written, i see your point and the point of this site but it's not bad at all01:05
robinpdoes the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel support the EFI stub loader by default ?01:06
khad76yea, but there's a difference between simply using your location and building a complete profile of your personality01:06
dob1ActionParsnip: and considering that what you are looking for is on other pages on google search, do you prefer to go ahead looking on next pages or search the same terms on another search engine, and another, and another and see the first results?  i prefer go ahead on the pages01:07
ActionParsnipdob1: anyhoo, short of it is, don't just use google. You will get different results01:08
dob1ActionParsnip: yes but i01:08
dob1ActionParsnip: yes but on google i can assume that there are all the results,  i don't know the other search engine01:09
ActionParsniptry it, it also has a great bang syntax to get to different pages straight away :)01:09
dob1ActionParsnip: i will give it a try01:10
ActionParsnipdob1: you can find a PPA for an app with:     !ppa firefox     for exaple01:10

ubottuGuest48099: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet.01:23
dob1ActionParsnip: for example i was looking some search, in most of the case i prefer the google way, where it founds results based on what i look for before01:24

ActionParsnipryan_: indeed01:54
ActionParsnipNordom: try pressing it slightly faster01:54

escottPraxi, perhaps its para-virt and you need to get the para-virt drivers into the kernel for the new kernel, or perhaps something about the new kernel is incompatible with vmware virtualized hardware01:55

Praxiit is booting up on the previous kernel, can I just uninstall the new kernel thats it seems to be hosing out on?01:57
escottPraxi, you probably just missed that and need to make the paravirt modules01:57
Praxinot really familiar with that escott01:58
OerHeksis -fsapo_- an script ?01:58
escottPraxi, for performance reasons you are probably running a para-virt system meaning that some of the stuff that the guest kernel would do through the virtual hardware is actually passed through a special kernel module down to the host kernel. Things like accessing disks are a good example of that as guest can just inject its reads and writes into the VFS queue of the host. But to make that work you need a kernel module to be available.02:00
escottsounds like you forgot to compile it after getting a kernel update (which you might not have noticed came through). So compile the vmware guest paravirt modules, and update-initramfs for the offending kernel and that will hopefully take care of the issue02:00
Praxiescott, does this look like a reasonable instructions for me to use?  http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=21802:02

polarbear<OerHeks> how to save file that i have download on playon linux02:27
cjsWhat's a simple way to copy a partition table (just the partition table) from one disk to another. (Including the GPT if present.)02:27
escottvonKemper, if you run ubuntu in a VM then you shouldnt need to ask if anyone does because you already know the answer :-P02:28
Jordan_Ucjs: For what purpose?02:28
vonKemperescott: very true :D02:28
yellowwinnergo to dash home and serch brows c drive>dosdives>c: drive> then find your download02:29
yellowwinnerbrowse*02:29
vonKemperso my question is how do i get the auto-hide to work on the laucher02:29
yellowwinneryou can also change your download folder02:29
escottcjs, it would probably make more sense to dump the table in machine readable form from a tool like parted and reload it on the other side. generally you would not want to copy the table (especially gpt as that would copy the guids)02:29
cjsJordan_U: I've got two disks of the same size; the first has a partition set up as a RAID 1 on md0, and I'd like to make an identical partition on the second device be the mirror in md0.02:30
vonKemperdifficult to ask some questions without polling! :D02:30
escottvonKemper, (a) you would need to install the guest additions and some of those things will only work if it is fullscreen02:30
cjsescott: dump and load is exactly what I was thinking of when I said "copy", actually.02:30
vonKemperescott: i have all of the Linux tools installed02:30
cjsThe important point here is that I make sure I *don't* copy any of the md information from sda to sdb.02:30
Jordan_UvonKemper: Actually, it really isn't. It wasn't needed for your question for example.02:31

=== themill_ is now known as themill
Jordan_Ucjs: escott: I don't think that sfdisk supports GPT.02:35
ryan_lubuntu software center sucks02:36
escottvonKemper, autohide works not very well in VMs02:37
confuzledwildcards anyone?02:37
cjsHm. So if I just do a parted -l, it claims that /dev/sda has an "msdos" partition table. Would it say something different if this were the compatibility partition table for a GPT disk?02:38
escottvonKemper, the problem is that the edge of the screen is often done as 0px or 1px at the edge and you move the pointer PAST the edge to trigger the unhide. but you cant do that when the root window is windowed inside something else. consider disabling any pointer integration for better behavior02:38
cjsActually, the partition table was created by the Ubuntu 12.04.1 server amd64 installer; would it have created just an msdos one?02:38
escottcjs, yes it would say gpt if it were gpt02:38
vonKemperescott: what do you run Ubuntu on?02:39
cjsescott: Ah, thanks. So I didn't need to worry about that after all.02:39
escottcjs, if you had a gpt partition table then you would have an msdos partition (that should never be reported by any tool unless things are broken or the tool is stupid ie fdisk) which would list a single gpt-protective partition to cover the entire disk (type EE)02:39

vonKemperescott, yeah, i have been googling about looking for the answer, and no luck02:48
cjsI've got an LVM volume that contains a disk image with partition table and ext2fs and swap partitions. I'd like to resize this. What's the easiest way to do that. Does, say, gparted have a mode where it can work on, say, a disk image rather than a real disk?02:49
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest20550
escottcjs, thats going to be a complex process. (a) grow the LVM volume. (b) notify the VM that the disk is larger (c) boot a live system and resize the various partitions02:51
cjsescott: I was hopeing to take the guest VM off line and use tools on the host to do the work. That seems easier to me, at least at first glance.02:52
escottcjs, you could try. maybe you can run parted on a normal file02:52
escottcjs, but after you grow the LVM module you do have to additionally grow the image file with 0s at the end02:53
vonKemperescott, does 3d accel work in your VirtualBox VM?02:53
escottcjs, and that would usually be done by the VM tools02:53
escottvonKemper, with guest additions 3d desktop works... haven't tried to play quake or anything but...02:54
vonKemperescott, my apologies for the grill, but what about snapshots?02:54
cjsescott: There is no "image file," the lvm gets the partition directly.02:54
vonKemperi have never used VirtualBox,02:54
vonKemperescott, i rely heavily on snapshot restoration (client presos, etc.) and VMWare has been rock solid for that02:55
escottcjs, ok. then you might be ok. try it and see what sudo parted /dev/mapper/whatever-volume says02:55
talpurhi02:55
escottvonKemper, i can certainly take snapshots. its not something i rely upon much, and i dont know how optimized it is (i dont think they COW the files)02:55
talpurhi good morning community02:56
cjsescott: Oh wow. parted /dev/mapper/guestvol works, actually! I thought I'd tried that before and it didn't.02:56
cjsescott: Oh, I tried gparted /dev/mapper/guestvol. That's what didn't work.02:57
talpurwhich command is used to know the system inormation which I am using02:57
vonKemperescott, ty02:57
vonKemperi think it wouldnt hurt to try VBox...02:57
escottcjs, unfortunatley parted doesnt make growing easy02:57
escotttalpur, a number. lshw, lspci, lsusb02:57
cjsescott: So I think what I do here is use kpartx to get me a device pointing to the ext4 partition, resize2fs to resize it, then parted to change the partition size. Bleh. Seems like there's a lot of room for error in getting all the numbers right.02:58
rinchesI'm trying to learn the CLI... How do I open a file within it?02:58
cjsescott: Or can parted resize a partition and filesystem at the same time, as gparted does?02:58
escotttalpur, cpuinfo. there is one for RAM information as well. lshw rolls a bunch of such tools into one02:58

escottinsano, i don't think so. best to kill it03:06
cjsescott: using kpartx with gparted doesn't really make sense to me. After all, gparted is reading and changing the partition table that kpartx merely uses to create/delete devices for each partition.03:06
insanoescott:   how so?03:06
escottcjs, ooooh idea. use the loopback driver to attach the partition to /dev/loop0 and then point gparted at /dev/loop003:07
escottinsano, generate a revocation key with an explanation (forgot to set expiry) and publish that on any keyserver that you uploaded the public key to03:08
matheuscarursinha03:08
cjsescott: Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you've got a mistake in your thinking. You keep talking about giving a partition to gparted, but gparted wants the disk containing the partitions.03:08

cjscjs: I see. Good thought.03:10
escottcjs, that way gparted sees a device file (/dev/loop0) which is sent back to the device /dev/mapper/whatever and is hopefully happy (since for whatever reason it doesn't want to deal with the /dev/mapper type devices)03:10

escottresearcher123, standard practice is to create a disk image with "dd noerror if=/dev/sdX# of=/root/sdX#.img" and work with the image file. you can loop mount that image file, run fsck etc03:12
Jordan_Uresearcher123: What do you mean by recover (retrieve all the data off it?) and what do you mean by crash (Gives some IO errors, but is still visible?)?03:12

researcher123Jordan_U:  It developed bad sectors.03:14
Jordan_Uresearcher123: Do you have another drive which is large enough to hold an entire image of the failed drive?03:14
cjsOh, that would be, "e2label: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/dyadic-t1p1." Hm. Ok, let's give kpartx a go. It might be ok, since we're not creating new partitions.03:14

dsnydersjrib, Okieday.  I'll try the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso and see what happens.03:28
cjsescott: Ok, I see what you were saying here, and I think that this can work when I'm shrinking. Basically, I use kpartx to create devices for the partitions, run gparted, shrink, exit, and use kpartx again to remove the devices.03:28
Jordan_Ujetsaredim: Well, you have 10 GiB of swap, which is more than a little overkill.03:28
escottjetsaredim, you have a 10GB swap for some stupid reason03:28
jetsaredimyea that seems odd03:28
escottcjs, yeah that would make sense. gparted needs to access the interior partition device to do the shrink... hadn't thought of that myself but yes03:29
cjsescott: The issue is, of course, that it seems gparted is relying on the kernel to update the partition devices after a partition table change, which won't happen with the devices created by kpartx. So I need to be careful, after changing the size or position of any partition, to immediately exit and delete the kpartx devices that now map a different set of blocks on the disk than the partition table does.03:29
cjsescott: gpartx just uses external tools on kernel-created partition devices to do the resize etc. That's the key.03:29
escottjetsaredim, boot the vm with the install cd. use gparted to delete the extended partition and create a new one with a reasonable swap size, and then grow the root partitoin03:30

escotttalpur, there is a variable PATH (run "echo $PATH") which lists paths to search for programs. you type "ls" it search the paths in $PATH to find /usr/bin/ls. which searches $PATH and tells you what would be executed if you typed in ls. updatedb/locate are tools for finding files in general (not just binaries) but does not index or search your $HOME03:59

brandinhessHello.04:08
Jordan_Utimwis: Avoid Wubi.04:09
escottJordan_U, i've seen it configured such that individuals can keep their own personal mlocate.db in their $HOME, and the system updatedb does not index their files. i think that way it drops the setuid requirement04:09
timwisJordan_U: Okay, thanks. In that case, do I need a dedicated USB thumb drive or can I keep the files I have on tthere?04:10
escottJordan_U, but evidently the locate binary keeps track of what is readable by whom... because locate id_rsa does not show /root/.ssh/id_rsa for me, but it does show it for sudo locate id_rsa (as well as showing my $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa)04:11

talpaswarrioranyone?05:29
reazem2talpaswarrior, Are you certain you have the correct subtitle file? Can you confirm with another player?05:30
somsiptalpaswarrior: most sub files use frame counters or timing markers to show the subtitles. You can use something like Gaupol to shift the subtitles 0.X seconds in any direction. I don't see anything about media players supporting this though05:32
talpaswarriori only have the default software.  however, i downloaded the movie with the torrent packaged together.  it is from a reputable source, so i doubt that is the problem.  i feel it is a problem in the interpretation or in displaying them altogether, since, regardless of the aspect ratio, i can only see a small portion of the top of the letters which comprise the subtitles.05:32
wrj+i05:32
somsiptalpaswarrior: then I immediately find that G and H do the same in VLC. Totem...no idea05:32

nikolamsudhin, unless it explodes, You should file bug report on that I suppose.06:21
orloknikolam: do you have a shell available where you can remount something with noatime?06:21
PhaseI might see about writing a tiny bash script wrapper to do it.. hmm06:21
nikolamorlok I see. Yes, there is the console. I could stop 10 hours 77% install and get back to it after that later then06:22
orloknikolam: you should be able to remount it without disrupting the install06:23
nikolamorlok, i see, will try :)06:24
orloknikolam: basically, flash has slow write speeds, especially for small writes06:24
orlokactually, i'm not sure how much difference it makes during the install06:24
orlokbut its worthwhile on a flash based ntbook06:24
nikolamorlok, it used to be much better with 10.04/ext4 but I wanter Btrfs :)06:24
orlokotherwise every time a file is accessed, it will try to update its access time, causing a write to happen06:24
orlokoh, btrfs, not sure then06:25

escottLocus_Asaf, i dont know of an easy way to do that. http://hostname means port 80. you could have apache running on 80 and redirecting conditioned on something in the name to send you to another port. you can't put it in /etc/hostname because thats for hostname resolution not for port resolution06:43

soomonwhen i attach it directly to the tv its fine. ironically with the live cd it works06:44
escottnikolam, if they ever get the FS working well enough for sane people to use it the dpkg guys will make a version without fsyncs and just snapshot the OS prior to install06:45

CuriousPostulateI've been getting an error recently when I do things as root.  After I sudo anything, I get the message that "rm: cannot remove `/run/user/root/gvfs': is a directory".  The same thing happens when I exit after "sudo su". I can't seem to find this error on google anywhere.  Any ideas?16:48
zykotick9!fsck | akulbe16:48
ubottuakulbe: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot16:48
AndroUser1any one running andriod on pc?16:48
MonkeyDustCuriousPostulate  rm -r to remove directories16:49
zykotick9CuriousPostulate: using "sudo su" is a BAD idea on ubuntu... probably what caused your issue in the first place...16:49
jribCuriousPostulate: use « sudo -i » if you really need a root shell instead of « sudo su »16:50
CuriousPostulateI know it's a bad idea, but it was useful for some stuff I was doing.. probably shouldn't have anyway.  Huh, I didn't know about sudo -i.  Thanks!  I know rm -r is to remove directories, but I didn't try to remove anything, and I don't know what /run/user/root/gvfs even is16:51
zykotick9CuriousPostulate: gvfs is Gnome Virtual File System... probably NOT something that "root" should have ever used ;)16:52

Adiewould ubuntu desktop functionally work the same way as ubuntu server if I just never log into the GUI?17:26
some_userzykotick9: Wait, wait, the 13.4GB that you see is the total space used by all the folders (usr and so on), look above that. Total filesystem capacity: 40.9 GB (used: 33.4GB available: 7.6GB); I've dedicated the whole filesystem (as far as I know) to the OS17:27
llutzAdie: it would17:27
LinkandzeldaI see, so, do people use LTS more? what exactly does the "support" part mean for consumers?17:27
Adieokay, I think ima try that >_<17:27
AdieI am trying to set up my mac mini as a headless server, but all this configuration via terminal hurts my brain17:27
compdocAdie, for the most part, but the desktop version has a lot more packages to keep updates, and a lot more services running in the background17:27
some_userzykotick9: And *that's* what I'm confused over, where did that usage come from?17:28
compdoc*updated17:28
llutzAdie: imho it's better to keep servers "lean", trying not to have any unused stuff installed etc.pp. but it is your choice17:28
beeg98Linkandzelda: for me personally, on my laptop, I can probably bounce from one version to the next without a problem... but if an IT staff has to do all of the updating on servers or on desktops, then not having to reinstall every computer every 18 months is a great thing.17:28
Linkandzeldabeeg98: I can see how that would be beneficial indeed, for people that just want to setup and stick with it17:29
beeg98Linkandzelda: once support runs out, you no longer get security updates, nor the ability to install software from public repos.17:30

wickseyI have a lab of 32 machines that don't shutdown with 'sudo poweroff' but do shutdown with 'sudo poweroff -fp'. We use ldm. I've tried 'sudo mv /sbin/poweroff /sbin.poweroff.real' then create a script called /sbin/poweroff that calls '/sbin/poweroff.real -fp'. Now the machines reboot when ldm shutdown is clicked. Is this all a completely horrible way to try to solve this? What am I doing wrong? I notice that 'ls -la' in /sbin seems to link17:57
wickseypoweroff to reboot.17:57
Maddinhello17:57
intorezykotick9, lxde is not faster than xubuntu. Adding 1GB of ram i think will be good. what do you think?17:58

zykotick9intore: 256MB RAM is really small these days... i don't consider my 4GB system to have enough RAM ;)  adding memory would certainly help things.18:00
ikonialinux|newb: then you've not got the packages from ubuntu as there are no gnome 2 packages18:00
DaxterLigH: what is the recomended resolution for your monitor? I remember having these kind of problems with a cheap HDTV18:00
stobixback then gnome was kinda good...18:00
NikPI have 16GB RAM18:00

zykotick9tuffgong: to clear apt's download cache, use "sudo apt-get clean"18:01
linux|newbikonia: ...really? weird.18:01
intoreikonia, because is only 256mb and because it's slow only browsing internet18:01
linux|newbikonia: one sec18:01
ikoniaintore: make sure you keep the distinction between visually slow and actually slow doing the work18:01
intorezykotick9, maybe dsl or puppy, minidistro could be better18:02

LigHDaxter:  I am not sure in which context you mean "recommended". According to the manual? -- I remember that there have been pessimistic Windows monitor INF files with limited frequency ranges. But I use this monitor at 1600x1200 for many years already. And the VESA/DCC and edid data appear to report this as supported resolution as well.18:04

intorewicksey, really? i don't know it. I'll try, i've got a really old machine!18:07

Maddinhello everybody! Maybe somebody can help me to fix a problem: I try to install some programs which need certain packages (eg g++) but I can´t install the packages because there are "unmet dependencies". I tried to manually install the dependencies, no success, even they have deps on some packages where version conflicts occur. Anybody knows how to fix this?18:19
Jiyuu|Cim fairly new to linux, trying it in virtualbox18:19

APV1996Hello, what happens if you use shutdown now without -h?18:20
Jiyuu|Canother thing that could help is to make it work fast, because i installed virtualbox's guest additions and its still fairly crappy18:20
wickseylinux|newb, no experience with that at all I'm afraid. Never done it.18:20
SeveasAPV1996, the computer will not power down after the operating system has stopped18:20

MaddinSeveas, yes I did use apt-get but as I said there are version conflicts. It rejects to install the package.18:21
SeveasMaddin, pastebin the full output please18:21
linux|newbwicksey: it's not true to the classic experience because you can't customise the panels from context menus like you used to be able to.18:21
wickseyJiyuu|C, what are you asking?18:21
wickseylinux|newb, indeed it's not gnome218:22

JFranksAnyone a pro with parted? .. I made a disk image of a machine with a 2TB (crappy old WD Green drive we had spare) disk.. I want to restore the image to a more reliable disk like one of these 1TB WD Blacks I just got in.. Sadly I can't get the 12GB of image data to fit on the 1TB drive because the 'partition size' of the image I'm restoring is 2TB. ;p19:30
gordonjcpJFranks: why not just copy the data across?19:31
JFranksgordonjcp: I've sadly used this on several machines and would actually like a solution to the issue regardless. I'm guessing the only 'fix' would be to edit the partition table size in the .img files?19:33
gordonjcpJFranks: that won't work, because it assumes the data is all up one end of the disk19:33
gordonjcpwhich it pretty much never is19:34

ArlaHi. I'm having a dependency conflict in apt. I'm trying to setup Ruby on Rails but got confused with gems. I don't remember the exact commands but I think I tried install the same components from both gem and apt, and then uninstalled all gems. Now when I do apt-get -f install, this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1346000/ How to 1) sort out the conflict and 2) install Rails properly?19:36
JFranksHmmm I see because the data in the .img states that it has a start/stop boundary which would 'likely' fall outside the reduced boundaries of the re-sized partition.. ? So what I'd REALLY need is a tool that treats the .img as a partition, then performs a real re-size operation and then re-saves as a new img..19:36
gordonjcpJFranks: or, you could just copy the data off it, onto the new drive19:36
noirohey guys, on the unlock screen, I don't always see a box, but I see my wallpaper with a large black box. Is there a way to either fix this or to remove locking after a certain time altogether?19:36

JFranksgordonjcp: Yes in this case I do still have that option. In this case.. :(19:36
BrianBlazederp of course19:37
gordonjcpnoiro: you can go into the control centre, Brightness and Lock, and turn off lock19:37
gordonjcpJFranks: why wouldn't you have that option?19:37
noiroahh ok, thanks gordonjcp19:37
kunjiderp: yes, indeed.  What exactly are you trying to do though?19:38
gordonjcpJFranks: just mount it, and copy the stuff off - possibly using rsync with appropriate switches to keep the permissions straight19:38
JFranksgordonjcp: If the drive was backed up, then failed, and all I had was the 2TB backup image?

kunjiAha2Y: Using the installer as you would when installing to a an HDD.  That is you can just use the built in startup disk creator packaged with Ubuntu to make a liveUSB, or just use a liveCD, but then use that to actually install onto another USB drive as you would do for an HDD.19:46

JFranksAlmost tempted to just fork out some $ and let Ghost take over for Parted.. The resize options are apparently worth the investment..19:58
kunjiAha2Y: My impression was that you wanted an actual install of Ubuntu.  So you will need either 2 USB drives, one to use for the liveUSB, and the other to install to as you would for an HDD.  Or alternatively a USB and a blank cd, in which case you would make a liveCD and use that to install to the USB drive, again as you would to an HDD.19:59

kunjiAha2Y: Oh, so just a liveUSB then?  You won't be able to keep programs installed across reboots though that way.  In that case I would set the size of the persistent partition to 4 GB on a 8 GB drive, or as high as they let you go (I think the creator will not let you leave too little space for the OS), should give ample space for documents and the like, which will remain across reboots.20:01

domedagenben1066: Gnome even has a menu no?20:58
kunjiwyclif: Well, ATI is generally more open than Nvidia to start with.  Hence why we have much better open source drivers for ATI than Nvidia.  On the other hand Nvidia's proprietary drivers are supposedly better than the ATI open source ones, but this difference has been less and less, and it not true in my personal experience (though it probably is generally).  Also I'm a bit of a loyalist, and with the rest of my hardware being ATI/AMD, it 20:58

XiaolinDraconishey something i can help with for a change21:03
XiaolinDraconisrinches, i can help with that21:03

rinchesUbuntu 11.10*21:04
XiaolinDraconisrinches, ok if i remember right that comes with unity21:04
XiaolinDraconisrinches, but it wont matter cause i think you still need the gnome tweak tool21:05
XiaolinDraconisrinches, extract the theme you downloaded to /home/yourusername/.themes21:05
XiaolinDraconisrinches, its a hidden folder inside your home directory21:06
=== shihan_ is now known as Shihan
rinchesls /home/username/ .themes for CLI right?21:06

XiaolinDraconisrinches, doesnt have to be cli21:07
rinchesI know it doesn't have to be cli, but I'm trying to learn it anyway21:07

XiaolinDraconisrinches, you can open the location in nautilus and drag and drop from the archive if you prefer21:07
XiaolinDraconisok then21:07
genii-aroundAkuma: If you are on the earlier Ubuntu, should be a sysvinit called dhcp3-server   so it would be called from upstart like: sudo service dhcp3-server restart21:07
rinchesBut I first need to get the Gnome tweaker21:08
rinchesSo I'll go ahead and download that.21:08
XiaolinDraconisrinches, what type of theme are you installing? gtk3 or something else?21:08

chetnick"Coming from Windows, KDE, or other similar desktop environment, the first expectation of the Unity launcher is that it works like a traditional task bar or dock.

sneakyimp_i've asked it twice already which is why i ask again.  I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 (which I believe is Unity).  Previously, hitting Alt-Tab allowed me to cycle through my open windows.  It still seems to do so, but occasionally it results in all of my menus disappearing (including the launcher) and I must logout/login in order to get the menus back.  Until I do, I cannot launch, move, or...21:24
sneakyimp_...close any windows.  Is this a "feature" or is it a bug?21:24
bekorso has anyone had the same issues with 12.04 booting slow?21:25
jribsneakyimp_: any reason you haven't upgraded to 12.04 or 12.10?21:25
kunjinot really21:25
bekoranyone have any tips for faster boot time?21:26
chetnickbekor: ssd + gentoo or arch21:26
sneakyimp_jrib:  the OS has not prompted me to do so -- also, I am reluctant because I'm running a variety of systems for software development and dread the prospect of these systems failing after a major version upgrade21:26
kunjibekor: you mean easy peasy stuff or serious business?21:26
XiaolinDraconisbekor, preloader sped me up a bit21:26
jribsneakyimp_: but you said you just upgraded to 11.1021:27
sneakyimp_jrib: I cannot afford the downtime should Eclipse stop working, for instance21:27
sneakyimp_jrib: I did -- and am regretting it as we speak21:27
lonewulfBitdefender nautilus integration anyone please?21:27
jribsneakyimp_: anyway, I don't use unity, but my understanding is that many improvements were made in 12.04 (and presumably in 12.10 as well)21:27
bekori guess easy. i have changed things already through the terminal i found on line but still not much difference21:27
bekorpreloader made my boot slower than before21:28
jribsneakyimp_: if I were in your shoes, I'd go to 12.04.  It's LTS and, like I said, I seem to recall people claiming many improvements to unity21:28
juancarlospacolonewulf: the AV ?, you dont really need it, anyways, google "penguin pills" if you are interested21:28
krababbelbekor: don't shut down21:28
sneakyimp_jrib:  ok i suppose I must then.  As I mentioned before, the OS has not yet prompted me -- how to initiate this?  Also, is 12.10 not LTS?  that's a bit confusing.21:29
bekorwell i guess that is one way21:29
kunjisneakyimp_: The OS should prompt you to do so, though I understand not wanting to break anything.  I would go for a clean install of 12.04.1 the next time you get a chance to have the downtime.21:29
krababbelbekor: or don't install anything :)21:29
bekorjust thought i would check to see if anyone has had similar issues and had advice thanks anyway21:30
sneakyimp_kunji:  yes a clean install would rule.  I would also consider a hardware upgrade.  this is a 6-core AMD machine.  am contemplating an 8-core or perhaps even intel.21:30
kunjisneakyimp_: 12.04 is not LTS, Long Term Support versions are released every 2 years, the next one would be 14.0421:30
kunjisneakyimp_: *sorry, mean to say 12.10 is not LTS, 12.04 is of course21:30
bekorseems like you use to find more help on these channels now it seems like to many smart asses21:31
sneakyimp_kunji:  you mean 12.10 is not LTS? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS21:31
kunjibekor: sorry, umm, preloading would be expected to make things slower, because it is loaded at boot time.21:31
sneakyimp_kunji:  oops...typed too slow21:31

mlaanI have a question that i cant find an answer to. How can I run Ubuntu 12 without a monitor?22:00
Seveasmlaan, simple: don't attach a monitor :)22:00
mlaanBut it doesnt boot the gui. I'd like to run it as a server with a gui that I can VNC into22:01
Seveasyou can set up an account to autologin and rely on vnc's authentication for protection22:01
Seveasbut servers shouldn't have guis, that's blasphemy ;)22:02
mlaani know i know its crazy talk but i was hoping it was possible22:02
Seveasit is, I just gave you some hints22:02
Seveasthough I've never tried it22:03
Seveasyou can also use nx instead of vnc, that doesn't require an autologin22:03
Seveas!nx22:03
ubottuFreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX22:03
cloudymlaan, you could do an ssh with x forward and then use the local x server for the remote desktop.22:03
mlaanokay thank you22:03
mlaannice I'll try that22:03
mlaanthanks guys22:03

_DanN_Emery: I have no idea what videlia is but this seems like a generic problem to connect to X22:16
ghostconnhello all, I have a netgear usb wireless adaptor that wont show any connections?? I have installed the .inf file using windows wireless drivers. It show that hardware is present however under network connection/wireless i get no signals?22:16
Adieanyone know a product that works like unetbootin, and works in OS X?22:16
Emery_DanN_, It's a Tor component22:16
_DanN_Emery: are you trying to run this app as different user than the one which started X ?22:17
ghostconnany help much appreciated22:17
Emeryno, i'm trying to run it under sudo22:17
SeveasAdie, unetbootin should wotk under osx22:17
Emeryotherwise i get permission errors22:17
AdieSeveas: it doesn't22:17
SeveasEmery, use gksudo for gui apps22:17
_DanN_Emery: does this app need to have root permission ?22:17
Adieit never worked for me in lion a year ago, and it doesn't work for me in mountain lion today22:18
SeveasAdie, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ says it does. If it doesn't for you, please report that bug to the unetbootin developers22:18
Emery _DanN_ as I said it gives permission errors without22:18
Adieit's a known issue22:18
EmerySeveas, I'll give it a go22:18
EmerySeveas, Nah it's not even working with that at all22:19

PoolShark_anywya, anyone know if the SSD caching in H77 works in Linux, or more specifically, is the caching handled natively by the motherboard, completely transparently to the O/S, without the use of a driver - or is a driver required?22:27
Daxterghostconn: you can use the .inf file to install a windows driver, Id try to use a linux driver first though22:27
MattsycoDogOfWar, i just did an in OS upgrade from 12.04 through update manager22:27
Daxterwifi adapters are notorious in linux for working or not working22:27
EmeryDaxter, Clearly you know something. What's the problem here ? "vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.022:27
Emery"22:27
BlouBlouEmery: you should start x22:28
DogOfWarThis I know. Way around? This system is wiped!22:28
EmeryAre you serious22:28
ghostconni don't believe that netgear ever made a linux driver for this device22:28
PoolShark_that generally means X isn't running22:28
EmeryHow can I be using unity22:28
Emerywithout X ?22:28
Daxterbekor: ah. 12.04 will be slow on that hardware, due to Unity's slowness. Id recommend using 10.04 or not using the 3D version of Unity22:28
guntbertEmery: you cannot22:28
Emeryexactly22:29
DaxterEmery: you dotn use unity without X as X is the backend for all GUI displays in linux22:29
Emeryso X IS active22:29
EmerySo why are you telling me X isnt active22:29
BlouBlouEmery: anyways, test it22:29
_DanN_Emery: prove it22:29
PoolShark_if X was active, vidalia would not give you that error message22:29
Emery_DanN_, stop answering me please.22:29

EmeryMagic ?22:29
PoolShark_Emery: the evidence says you aren't22:29

bekorhoe do i text in red again?it has been awhile22:30
xanguaEmery: have you tried to use the tor buldle provided in the tor web¿ a lot easier22:30
PiciYou can get that error if you are trying to connect another user's X session.22:30
EmeryPici, My home box22:30
Emeryxangua,  I'm not interested in the bundle22:30
PoolShark_Emery: and you're trying to start vidalia from a shell? or from an icon?:22:30
bekorsorry for my typing22:30
MattsycoIf you can grab a spare USB drive, you can use it instead of a DVD to start up the system DogOfWar.  Beyond that, you can try picking up the 12.04 LTS which does fit onto a CD and upgrading from there22:30
EmeryPici,  No i'm on my own box22:30
PiciEmery: I mean, are you running it from a terminal within an X session?22:31
guntbertEmery: may I suggest you stop being angry - people really try to help - instead provide a little more detail22:31
ghostconnis there anything better then compiz for effects?22:31
EmeryPoolShark_, I've tried both, Icon gives me permission errors22:31
PoolShark_Emery: then there's probably something wrong with permissions22:31
EmeryPici, Vidalia is a GUI front end22:31
Daxtercompiz pretty much is effects22:31
EmeryPoolShark_, I'm aware of that22:31
EmeryHence "sudo vidalia"22:31
PoolShark_Emery: so why not fix them and see if the error goes away?22:31
DogOfWarIs there a way to get a minimal install small enough to fit on a cd so I can get this system started?22:31
xanguaEmery: why are you running it with sudo in first place¿22:32
guntbertEmery: don't run GUI apps with sudo - use gksudo22:32
PiciEmery: you should use gksudo for graphical applications. just sudo might cause issues with your environment (like not being able to connect to X)22:32
EmeryPoolShark_,  Well this was my original question, But apparently I don't have X running22:32
Daxterand ghostconn for you wireless check what chipset is in the adapter. then install the driver for that chipset. this may take some searching to actually find it and compile it. ocne again linux is notorious in wifi support.22:32
PoolShark_Emery: do you want my help?22:32
ghostconnis there a way to remove the graphical login used in ubuntu 12.04 so that it is more like backtrack 5 with a text code based login22:32
Emerygksudo doesnt work.22:32
ghostconni will thanks daxter22:32
EmeryPoolShark_, Well IF you can help. And not telling me X isnt running.22:32
Seveasghostconn, remove gdm/ldm/kdm22:33
xanguaEmery: and you neither need gksu for it22:33
guntbertEmery: please cool down22:33
PoolShark_Emery: are you sure your X server is running on 0.0?22:33
Emeryguntbert, Well we're going round in circles, X must be running to use unity22:33
PoolShark_Emery: and not 1.0 or 0.1 or sometihng?22:33
Emery PoolShark_ how would I check that22:33
SeveasEmery, echo $DISPLAY22:33
Picighostconn: replace lightdm with a different display manager. I'm not sure which ones provide text logins.22:34

EmeryYup 0.022:34

PoolShark_did you install it with apt-get?22:35
SeveasEmery, can you pastebin the output of strace however_you_start_vidalia22:35
mindstormerming: mine is a little older and everything minus wireless worked just fine, had to wire to my network and download the driver module from broadcomm to get wifi to work22:35
EmeryPici,  I get permission errors22:35
PiciEmery: Specifically?22:35
EmeryThat it needs permission to edit certain files22:36
PoolShark_which files?22:36
Daxterghostconn: did you try installing drivers for your computer with 'additional drivers' panel? you may need a wired conenction for it to get updated drivers.22:36
ermingmindstorm: well, mine works great too.. but i noticed the battery isnt as long-lived as when running osx.. + VLC sometimes spikes when i watch movies22:36
EmeryThat's not the error i'm concerned with, the error i am concerned with is "No protocol specified22:36
Emeryvidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.022:36

ermingi'm really green on ubuntu, i don't even know how to get drivers.. :D22:36

Daxterif you driver isnt in there... then it opens a new can of worms22:37
ermingis there any application that can help me with that, or should i search the internet for them?22:37
PoolShark_humor me please22:37
MattsycoDogOfWar, I am not finding any way to cut down on the file size.  If it were Fedora, I would say to do a minimalist respin, but I am not seeing that type of option anywhere on the Ubuntu website22:37
ghostconnDaxter: yes I have tried using the additional drivers to find it all that shows up is my drivers for my video card22:37
ghostconnim trying my best to find what chipset the wpn111 uses22:38

dtcrshris there a log somewhere?22:46
Seveasdtcrshr, did you check your homedir and the trash folder?22:47
Daxterdtcrshr: search for some filenames, see if they still exist22:47
dtcrshriv searched in the 3 users i have iside the home folder22:47
Seveasdtcrshr, installing/removing packages from the official repos never touches /home, so an upgrade (which disables 3rd party repos) won't do this22:48
dtcrshrwhere is the trash folder?22:48
Daxtergo to nautilus, click on trash on the left22:48
Seveas~/.local/share/Trash, or click on the trash icon in the unity panel or the file browser22:49
dtcrshrits empty22:49
Daxterok search in nautilus for some of the file names. also check under differnt users in /home (if any)22:49
xzased@test22:50
dtcrshrhow do i search recursively? i could do it from the terminal22:50
Seveasdtcrshr, find -name '*.doc' will find any .doc in a folder or its subfolders22:52

Sam86however i meant to move them to /apple/cake/pie22:59
SeveasDemonWitch, ah i see, an xchat fork. No need for that22:59
Sam86So now there all in /apple/cake/ So basically I want to move ALL files/folders from apple/cake/ to apple/cake/pie/22:59
Sam86without including the folder pie23:00
Sam86in the command23:00
Geck00Sam86, type out in one line too..23:00

SeveasSam86, err, that means it moved some files in those directories but couldn't move others due to permission issues23:02

dtcrshrno23:03
Sam86However i guess there are only 5 folders I could just manual cp the rest. but I'd rather know a way for future use23:03
Geck00dtcrshr, its worth a try IMO :/23:03
dtcrshriv only updated via web... today I was at the university , where the internet is REALLY good, so iv gave a shot to update from 10.10 to  the latest rts23:04
Sam86I sent the ls -la via pm Seveas23:04
dtcrshrdidnt used much, was goint to start working now23:04
SeveasSam86, no pm received23:04
Sam86Ugh stupid web client, I've no irc properly on this pc23:04
Sam861 sec23:04
dtcrshrill give a shot. but i have no no "desktop" folder inside my /home, not even with a different language as told in some posts23:04
jribdtcrshr: you updated 3 times? 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04?23:04
SeveasSam86, mail to seveas@seveas.net works too :)23:04
Sam86Ah there we go23:05

MattsycoDaxter, thanks for the help, didn't realize Unity 2d wasn't installed by default with 12.1023:06
dr_willisMattsyco:  not only not installed.. but dosent exist in 12.10 ;)23:07
Seveasdtcrshr, do you know the exact name of a file you lost? if so, run 'locate that_filename'. If locate files: sudo apt-get install mlocate && sudo updatedb   then try again23:07
jribdtcrshr: did you have encrypted homes by any chance?23:07
Mattsycoyeah, I ended up grabbing the gnome GUI dr_willis23:08
dtcrshrjrib no23:08
dtcrshrmy user didnt even asked for password on login23:08
Geck00dtcrshr, it still had one fyi23:08
jribdtcrshr: ok well if you're sure you didn't have encrypted homes setup, I won't go down that road23:08
MattsycoI enjoy how Unity looks, but it is such a resource hog that my games are slowing to a crawl23:09
jribdtcrshr: did you have a separate partition for your home?23:10

Seveasjrib, ooh, inspired thought. dtcrshr if you don't know, run these commands and pastebin the output: sudo fdisk -l; mount23:12
Jordan_Udtcrshr: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid", the contents of /etc/fstab, and the output of "find /home/"? (The last command may include filenames of your personal files, so check that there isn't anything you don't want public before pastebining it).23:12

IdleOnewalterwoj: windows boot loader doesn't play nice with linux, so no.23:24

dauntlessany companies you've had success with?23:28

Seveasmatada, you mean somthing like this? echo "Hello world" > $filename23:33
OerHekssimplew for what project?23:33
ghostconndose anyone know of a good system equalizer for ubuntu 12.04?23:33
ghostconngraphical would be good23:34
matadahttp://pastebin.com/DxidzUZe This is my menu, Down in case $opt I'd like it to print a model (say  epicmtd) to the terminal, then take that output and put in a varibles folder under $device23:34
matadaerm not varible folder, varible file23:35
almoxarifematada: ##linux is the place for that type of question23:35
matadaok thanks23:35
jordanmalmoxarife: matada: no, #bash23:35
Seveasalmoxarife, matada: not reall, #bash (or ##bash, I forgot) is more appropriate23:35
lhavelundSeveas: if it's ##bash, we both know #bash would forward to it. ;)23:36
almoxarifeSeveas: alrighty then23:36
Seveaslhavelund, I lost track of freenode politics :)23:36
matadatoo many channels LOL23:36
lhavelundSeveas: yeah...23:36
Seveasmatada, but I'm afraid I still don't quite understand what you want. Could you write it in the script in pseudocode?23:37

Seveasmatada, I do spot 2 bugs in the first four lines though. You may want to start by reading abs23:38
Seveas!abs23:38
walterif i choose "Replace Mac OS X with Ubuntu"23:38

walterwill it delete the recovery partition too?23:38
Magiobiwanwalter: Possibly.23:38
Seveaswalter, likely. That option makes it want to use the entire disk as it sees fit23:39
MagiobiwanThere isn't a Side-Along install option, is there?23:39
MonkeyDust!mac | walter also look here23:39
ubottuwalter also look here: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages23:39
matadathere should be? there is on windows23:39

SeveasGuest23412, sudo apt-get install nmap23:41
MonkeyDustGuest23412  use apt-get, not aptitude23:41
OerHeksGuest23412, aptitude is depreciated, use apt-get23:41
Seveasor if you really want to use aptitude: sudo apt-get install aptitude :-)23:41

ghostconnim into allot of house and trance just thought it would be cool23:50
jribzykotick9, Seveas: aptitude in 12.10 should be ok with multi-arch.  According to the changelog anyway23:50
ghostconnwhat do you mean faked ones?23:50
escottghostconn, sure just run it on the root window23:50
OerHeksnostrum_, try insync >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/insync-brings-google-drive-to-ubuntu23:50
Seveasghostconn, I think mplayer running in the root window should be able to do this23:51

blazemoreI'm looking for resources to write initscripts, but I'm a bit out of touch and I know modern distros use other things now. What resources are available to help me learn how to write the modern equivelant of /etc/init.d/foo scripts?23:58
jrib!upstart | blazemore23:58
ubottublazemore: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/23:58
Seveasblazemore, good old initscript still work like they did last century.23:58
Seveasupstart is nice but ubuntu-specific, so if you want to be distro agnostic, either stick to initscripts, or do initscripts, upstart and systemd23:59
jribblazemore: the upstart cookbook is pretty good.  And yes, you could just write the old-style scripts if you prefer23:59
blazemoreSeveas: To be honest, it's a Debian server, I just figured I'd get a quicker answer in here ;) (And thanks jrib) - is it still "alright" to just write initscripts for things like my Mumble, Minecraft and TF2 servers?23:59
