[00:00] kanliot: if you run the command, the OS tells you [00:00] ActionParsnip, TYVM. how did you verify that it's not in a fresh install of ubunut? [00:00] jagosix:let me know when you're up [00:00] dev/sdb7 [00:00] carl0s-, well nautilus seems to be having trouble. you could disable nautilus drawing the desktop as a workaround for the weird desktop [00:00] kanliot: I just install raring about an hour ago [00:00] kanliot: i also just ran the command and the OS tells you [00:00] ok thanks again, you've helped me before, you're a real trooper ActionParsnip [00:01] kanliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344004/ [00:01] kanliot: works with any command [00:01] burdickjp: what ever process is running the video so it may be VLC or the browser for flash [00:02] im up burdickjp [00:02] escott, that's an idea. How do I do that? [00:02] burdickjp: A co-worker said that legacy hardware will usually generate a warning upon OS installation. I got no such warning. [00:02] escott, and yes, nautilus is very broke. much of the desktop is difficult and annoying truth be told. [00:02] carl0s-, in dconf-editor or gconf-editor under apps/nautilus you can find a setting for the desktop [00:02] jagosix:are you mounting the drive via the "devices" pane in dolphin, or command line? [00:03] devices in dolphin [00:03] jagosix:go ahead and open the root folder of the device in dolphin [00:03] jagosix: if you are using foremost, you want the partition unmounted [00:04] is it possible to autohide the top bar in gnome/ubuntu 12.10? [00:04] foremost ? [00:04] I'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] ActionParsnip:if he deleted them via dolphin they may be in a hidden folder on the root of the device [00:04] burdickjp: is that a Dolphin thing? [00:05] wow 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] ActionParsnip:yes [00:05] escott, thanks, but I don't see any apps -> nautilus in dconf-editor [00:05] kanliot: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [00:05] cjae, try logging out [00:05] burdickjp: freaky [00:05] escott, I might just wait another 6 days and give fedora a shot. [00:05] gnome seems to have very little in system settings [00:05] is there repositories available for old ubuntu versions? I need to use 8.10 [00:05] !eol | gustavold [00:05] gustavold: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:06] escott, i've put up with this dodgy window management crap for what feels like a year now. [00:06] gustavold: there may be PPAs but Intrepid is super dead. I suggest you upgrade [00:06] jagosix:when you have the root of the device open go to "view" and check the box for "show hidden files" [00:06] brb but i think i tried that already escott [00:06] carl0s-, there is a nautilus section in gconf/dconf somewhere don't remember whwere [00:06] cjae, then check the output of "groups" [00:06] ActionParsnip: I need to run this damn closed app that does not work on anything older than 8.10 :( [00:06] done [00:06] is anyone here running an integrated video card on 12.1??? [00:07] now what ? [00:07] jagosix:there should be a folder called ".Trash-"something [00:07] gustavold: are there no alternatives [00:07] jagosix:open it, see if your stuff is in there [00:07] uhmnnno... remember this is a NTFS partition [00:07] ActionParsnip: making the closed app work on newer distros... but I don't know how to do that [00:08] gustavold: what is the app? === themill_ is now known as themill [00:08] here is the results of apt-get update, looks like no errors: http://pastebin.com/JibriB4f === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [00:08] ActionParsnip: it is a brazilian government fiscal app [00:08] 19 days even [00:08] kanliot: have you tried switching source servers === glebihan__ is now known as glebihan [00:09] nope [00:09] jagosix:have you followed my directions? [00:09] ActionParsnip: it is a java app === hooked_on_it is now known as derp [00:09] gustavold: java is java dude, that's the beauty of java [00:09] should i try that for broken wgets in update manager? [00:09] yes .. [00:09] but it's a NTFS drive [00:09] ActionParsnip: not so sure about that :) [00:09] kanliot: switch to the main server, it may help [00:09] I'm drinking java right now [00:10] escott, thanks must have typed command wrong before when I logged out [00:10] jagosix: try foremost on the unmounted partition [00:10] ActionParsnip, what do i google for the instructions? [00:10] jagosix:cause I just checked my 2TB NTFS and it has that folder, full of the things i've remrved in dolphin [00:10] kanliot: no need, just use software centre. You don't need to use google for everything you know [00:11] ActionParsnip: 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 older [00:12] gustavold: I suggest a virtual machine running Precise and install Oracle Java, then try the app [00:12] hi 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 effects [00:12] ActionParsnip: thanks... I will try that [00:13] navetz: what video chip do you use? [00:14] ActionParsnip: The laptop has: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 Graphics with up to 3835MB total graphics memory with 1GB dedicated [00:14] navetz: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [00:15] ActionParsnip: quantal [00:15] navetz: and if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see driver=fglrx [00:16] navetz: do you also see an Intel GPU [00:17] ActionParsnip: this is my output: http://pastebin.com/19tHfcdE [00:17] wait, 8.04 is not eol yet... perhaps that would help [00:17] navetz: install the proprietary driver, you are using the open source driver at the moment [00:17] gustavold: it is on the desktop [00:18] I'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/cuCr62H7 [00:18] ActionParsnip: okay, do I find that on ATI's website ? [00:18] !ati | navetz [00:18] navetz: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [00:18] ActionParsnip: thank you [00:18] kailas: you don't need the file extension, it does nothing. [00:19] kailas: did you mark the file as executable? [00:19] ActionParsnip: 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] ActionParsnip: yeah, it's executable. i can issue the same command at my command line and it works [00:19] hey anyone know any good encription programs for ubuntu [00:20] kailas: I believe you need line 7 to be: exec "$PROGRAM" [00:20] i need some tok'ras [00:20] hello guys, any updates on Pidgin integration with the new messaging menu in Ubuntu 12.10? [00:22] kailas: I'd ask in #bash [00:22] also should I use fglrx or fglrx-updates? [00:22] ActionParsnip, i think it's fixed now, update manager seems to have downloaded evrything after i switched to the "main" like you said [00:23] kanliot: sweet [00:23] Ya! [00:23] kanliot: looks like the US server is being worked on [00:23] nitin: no updates, keep an eye on bug 1040259 you'll likely hear there first [00:23] Launchpad bug 1040259 in skype-wrapper "FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1040259 === Magiobiwan is now known as MagiAway [00:24] trism: thanks [00:25] nitin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/201664/messaging-menu-missing-after-upgrade-to-12-10 [00:25] nitin: found using: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pidgin+missing+from+messaging+menu [00:29] no [00:33] ActionParsnip: yay! I just added hardy's repo to my intrepid install, installed java-sun and the app works like a charm :D [00:33] gustavold: not really advised but neither are supported so it's youorcall. [00:33] gustavold: I suggest you install Precise, then Oracle Java then try there. I bet it works. [00:34] ActionParsnip: sorry, took the discussion to bash [00:35] kailas: no worries, its closer to your issue [00:36] excuse me, does anybody knows how does the cache memory works on ubuntu? [00:36] i mean, like a really explicit explanation === themill_ is now known as themill [00:37] anyone knows? [00:38] alphack: i know it uses memory [00:38] alphack: its the same as the page file in Windows [00:39] alphack: its also used for suspend / hibernate [00:39] how can i see the source code? [00:39] hi, 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 there [00:39] alphack: its in the kernel, you will need the kernel code. Why do you want the source code? What will that achieve? [00:39] it's for a homework [00:40] best reactions in elections night: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/11/election-night-2012-reactions-in-photos/100401/ [00:40] alphack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging [00:40] from around the world [00:40] arcu-pe: how is that ubuntu support related? [00:41] its just entertaining [00:41] arcu-pe: then its offtopic here, isn't it? [00:41] depending on the topic [00:41] arcu-pe: so why paste it here? This channel is support ONLY [00:41] arcu-pe: NO, it's off-topic. Not ubuntu-related at all [00:41] i also need to know about arithmetic operations and the instruction cycle [00:41] arcu-pe: you can paste all you like in #ubuntu-offtopic this is pure support [00:42] how are these different from other opperative systems? [00:42] alphack: then I'd ask in #kernel or #linux [00:42] the windows shares that i created from nautilus are not managed by samba? [00:42] dob1: they are shared via samba [00:43] well, thank you [00:43] ActionParsnip: and where are them? i don't find them on smb.conf [00:43] i'll go check on #linux [00:43] dob1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=where+does+nautilus+store+shared+folders note the top link [00:43] dob1: too hard? [00:43] dob1: its the dumbest search, I still got an answer.... [00:43] ActionParsnip, [00:44] glad to see you [00:44] fagioli: howdy [00:44] dob1: why was I able to find that, and so very quickly? [00:44] i just built my dad a pc, i set up vino remote desktop. i can connect to his computer no problem [00:44] heres my question [00:45] how can i have his ip address display easy [00:45] dob1: c'mon...quid pro quo [00:45] so he can read it to me over the phone? [00:45] fagioli: have him viit www.ipchiken.com [00:45] go to whatismyip.com [00:45] oops [00:45] www.ipchicken.com [00:45] ActionParsnip: i don't have /var/lib/nautilus [00:45] perfect :) [00:45] dob1: did any of the other links there help? [00:49] ActionParsnip: i found them /var/lib/samba/usershares , thanks for the links [00:49] dob1: again.....too hard? [00:49] ActionParsnip: i didn't find them on google, and yes too hard because i was looking on smb.conf, standard place for shared configuration [00:50] dob1: did you try another searc engine then...if google comes up blank? [00:50] dob1: you can use smb.conf but nautilus doesn't use it [00:50] ActionParsnip: anyway maybe my search was not accurate [00:51] dob1: mine was as basic as it comes.... [00:51] ActionParsnip: you will get a google award for this [00:51] dob1: if google comes up with nothing, try other search engines [00:51] ActionParsnip: if i can't find it on google the page doesn't exists for me [00:52] dob1: there is more than google [00:52] ActionParsnip: well, i keep using google [00:53] dob1: try others, that's my point [00:53] dob1: notice how I din't use google and you got an answer.... [00:53] dob1: think about it [00:53] dob1: google bubbles you, restricting your answers [00:55] dob1: I suggest you read this: http://dontbubble.us/ [00:55] dob1: google isn't that great [00:56] ActionParsnip: 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 search [00:57] dob1: i'd check the link dude, see how google works [00:58] ActionParsnip: i take a look [01:01] duckduckgo is pretty rad [01:02] google isn't that great, I use it as a secondary [01:03] ActionParsnip: 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" search [01:04] dob1: you still get bubbled [01:05] ActionParsnip: 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 example [01:05] dob1: it does have advantages, but it does have disadvantages too [01:05] ActionParsnip: it's ok what is written, i see your point and the point of this site but it's not bad at all [01:06] does the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel support the EFI stub loader by default ? [01:06] yea, but there's a difference between simply using your location and building a complete profile of your personality [01:07] ActionParsnip: 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 pages [01:08] dob1: anyhoo, short of it is, don't just use google. You will get different results [01:08] ActionParsnip: yes but i [01:09] ActionParsnip: yes but on google i can assume that there are all the results, i don't know the other search engine [01:09] try it, it also has a great bang syntax to get to different pages straight away :) [01:10] ActionParsnip: i will give it a try [01:10] dob1: you can find a PPA for an app with: !ppa firefox for exaple [01:13] khad76: incidentally, DuckDuckGo's offices could be hit with a thrown rock from where I'm at now === root is now known as Guest48099 [01:22] anyone else having issues with 'pwgen' ? it is locking my machine. [01:23] !rootirc Guest48099 [01:23] !rootirc | Guest48099 [01:23] Guest48099: 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. [01:24] ActionParsnip: 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 before [01:24] dob1: yes but using both is intelligent if one fails you [01:24] what's the proper way to mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu is running as a guest? [01:25] ActionParsnip: for example "hibernate" on google i get on first page all related java links, on duckduckgo, i get some links that i am not interested [01:25] I created the shared resources in the vmware config already [01:25] dob1: yes, that's the bubble. But you may not be looking for java stuff one day, then the results are of no use to you [01:25] ActionParsnip: i am trying search terms that can be ambigouos [01:26] ActionParsnip, how can you tell that someone is irc as root [01:26] Jmev: http://www.crazyadmin.com/?p=9 [01:26] their username is root [01:26] escott: (01:22:25) root is now known as Guest48099 [01:26] escott !rootirc [01:26] ActionParsnip, ahhh. i turn off the enter/leave so I just see you call out a random person and think its magic [01:27] ActionParsnip: it's not bad the bubble, but as you said it's better if there is an alternative too [01:27] ok so i keep getting weird sound feedback when i listen to anything any help? [01:27] escott: yes me too, but that is still shown so you know nicks when the person changes them. It's not a join message [01:27] hello can I have some help [01:27] M13: ask away [01:28] weird sound fedback problem when i watch anything anyone know a fix? [01:28] J-Rod: does it affect all apps? [01:28] thnx, um is there a way to make the suggestion things in the unity search go away?

[01:30] um can you send the command to my email so I can useit at school. Its for my Technology teacher [01:30] J-Rod: read what I put, don't just look at the link..... [01:30] How does it call function on ubuntu where when you click on nautilus icon on left hand side and its brings many little windows to choose from ?

[01:32] ok i read it and i dont get what to do lol [01:32] J-Rod: copy the command and run it in a terminal. [01:32] o because Im on the xbox 360 right now [01:32] and its a script srry [01:32] M13: like I said.....read [01:33] and ActionParsnip can you take a look at this : http://github.com/madchicken13/m-os [01:33] M13: what am I looking at> [01:34] ok idi it [01:34] J-Rod: if you run the WHOLE command as ONE, it will do what it needs. [01:34] J-Rod: That's why I gave it as one command [01:35] have to go, bye thanks for the help [01:35] it told me where it was located and to inform the person helping me [01:35] J-Rod: yes, what is the URL of the info?

[01:55] Nordom: press the F a little faster, or disable dash [01:55] ryan_: i don't support in PM [01:56] normally when a new kernel comes out, it tells me to recompile.

[01:57] Praxi, you probably just missed that and need to make the paravirt modules [01:58] not really familiar with that escott [01:58] is -fsapo_- an script ? [02:00] Praxi, 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] sounds 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 issue [02:02] escott, does this look like a reasonable instructions for me to use? http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=218 [02:02] Praxi, would not be able to tell you. know absolutely nothing about vmware [02:08] * OerHeks finding fsapo a script [02:10] maybe the ops did not see it >> -fsapo- ERRMSG ACTION finding fsapo a script unknown query [02:12] Anyone play HoN? === matt_ is now known as Guest96147 [02:15] how to remove itunes on wine?

Please ask your actual question. [02:27] probely but i cant get one working [02:27] I am running Ubuntu 12.04 in VMWare Fusion 4 on a Mac [02:27] how to save file that i have download on playon linux [02:27] What's a simple way to copy a partition table (just the partition table) from one disk to another. (Including the GPT if present.) [02:28] vonKemper, if you run ubuntu in a VM then you shouldnt need to ask if anyone does because you already know the answer :-P [02:28] cjs: For what purpose? [02:28] escott: very true :D [02:29] go to dash home and serch brows c drive>dosdives>c: drive> then find your download [02:29] browse* [02:29] so my question is how do i get the auto-hide to work on the laucher [02:29] you can also change your download folder [02:29] cjs, 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) [02:30] Jordan_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] difficult to ask some questions without polling! :D [02:30] vonKemper, (a) you would need to install the guest additions and some of those things will only work if it is fullscreen [02:30] escott: dump and load is exactly what I was thinking of when I said "copy", actually. [02:30] escott: i have all of the Linux tools installed [02:30] The important point here is that I make sure I *don't* copy any of the md information from sda to sdb. [02:31] vonKemper: Actually, it really isn't. It wasn't needed for your question for example. [02:31] cjs, sudo parted -lm /dev/sda === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [02:32] escott: i do java development (as a consultant) and find myself in my Ubuntu VM for 10 - 12 hrs/day [02:32] I need help with ubuntu,I am making a game and I dont know what program I can use to make it or even a animation. [02:32] so i was hoping to get some of the minor nuances functioning to increase my screen realestate [02:32] Im using ubuntu 12.04.1 [02:33] cjs, apparently sfdisk has a even cleaner way to do it. sfdisk -d | sfdisk [02:34] is there a way to use wildcards in nautilus? [02:34] 12.04 [02:34] so, my question is does autohide work in a VM? [02:34] mine hides, and never comes back... unless i go back into settings and disable autohide [02:34] escott: Perfect! sfdisk does just the trick. === themill_ is now known as themill [02:35] cjs: escott: I don't think that sfdisk supports GPT. [02:36] lubuntu software center sucks [02:37] vonKemper, autohide works not very well in VMs [02:37] wildcards anyone? [02:38] Hm. 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] vonKemper, 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 behavior [02:38] Actually, the partition table was created by the Ubuntu 12.04.1 server amd64 installer; would it have created just an msdos one? [02:38] cjs, yes it would say gpt if it were gpt [02:39] escott: what do you run Ubuntu on? [02:39] escott: Ah, thanks. So I didn't need to worry about that after all. [02:39] cjs, 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) [02:40] vonKemper, at work the host is Win7 with virtualbox [02:40] vonKemper, i either keep ubuntu fullscreen or I RightCtrl+I to disable the pointer integration [02:40] escott, is your daily driver Ubuntu on bare metal?

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? === ubuntu is now known as Guest20550 [02:51] cjs, 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 partitions [02:52] escott: 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] cjs, you could try. maybe you can run parted on a normal file [02:53] cjs, but after you grow the LVM module you do have to additionally grow the image file with 0s at the end [02:53] escott, does 3d accel work in your VirtualBox VM? [02:53] cjs, and that would usually be done by the VM tools [02:54] vonKemper, with guest additions 3d desktop works... haven't tried to play quake or anything but... [02:54] escott, my apologies for the grill, but what about snapshots? [02:54] escott: There is no "image file," the lvm gets the partition directly. [02:54] i have never used VirtualBox, [02:55] escott, i rely heavily on snapshot restoration (client presos, etc.) and VMWare has been rock solid for that [02:55] cjs, ok. then you might be ok. try it and see what sudo parted /dev/mapper/whatever-volume says [02:55] hi [02:55] vonKemper, 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) [02:56] hi good morning community [02:56] escott: Oh wow. parted /dev/mapper/guestvol works, actually! I thought I'd tried that before and it didn't. [02:57] escott: Oh, I tried gparted /dev/mapper/guestvol. That's what didn't work. [02:57] which command is used to know the system inormation which I am using [02:57] escott, ty [02:57] i think it wouldnt hurt to try VBox... [02:57] cjs, unfortunatley parted doesnt make growing easy [02:57] talpur, a number. lshw, lspci, lsusb [02:58] escott: 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] I'm trying to learn the CLI... How do I open a file within it? [02:58] escott: Or can parted resize a partition and filesystem at the same time, as gparted does? [02:58] talpur, cpuinfo. there is one for RAM information as well. lshw rolls a bunch of such tools into one [02:59] thanks escott: I am trying all see the differnce. I am trying to run spec so there are different file I couldn't recognize which file suite to my system === Yamato is now known as Guest24272 [02:59] cjs, i dont know the answer to that. i know gparted is nice in that it does it. you could also try running kpartx on the /dev/mapper and then handing that to gparted [02:59] rinches, open the file with what application?

[03:03] insano, evidently its not where they expect it to be. also for public identities make sure you set an expiry date on the key [03:03] GPG Keys? [03:03] escott: oops, I think I set no expire date [03:04] Jejejeje yes. [03:04] insano, good idea to generate a new identity and set an expiry... also make your revocation key, put it on a usb keychain and put it somewhere safe [03:05] escott: Can I edit? [03:05] No problem!!! [03:05] insano, otherwise you end up like me... and have an identity file out there you can't revoke. if i were to ever become a kernel developer i'd be better off legally changing my name to distance myself from my old key [03:06] does anyone know a fix ppl have tried to help but most fixes ive gotten dont work [03:06] insano, i don't think so. best to kill it [03:06] escott: 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] escott: how so? [03:07] cjs, ooooh idea. use the loopback driver to attach the partition to /dev/loop0 and then point gparted at /dev/loop0 [03:08] insano, generate a revocation key with an explanation (forgot to set expiry) and publish that on any keyserver that you uploaded the public key to [03:08] ursinha [03:08] escott: 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. [03:09] escott: can you say me the command? === sid|ZzZ is now known as sid|1 [03:09] cjs, no im saying "losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mapper/whatever; gparted /dev/loop0 [03:10] escott: Ah, just to put another layer of device indirection in there. [03:10] cjs: I see. Good thought. [03:10] cjs, 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] s/cjs/escott/ :-) [03:10] its probably got some "intelligence" and wants to correct you when you point it at /dev/mapper and try to get back to the raw disk... stupid program [03:10] escott: But wait. I just tried, "gparted /dev/mapper/guestvol", and it worked this time. Sheesh. [03:11] is there a software to recover crashed hard disk? [03:11] insano, http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN305 [03:12] escott: Gargh. But it won't let me resize. I can bring up the resize window, but not change sizes and the "resize" button is greyed out. [03:12] software to remove bad sectors? [03:12] researcher123, 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 etc [03:12] researcher123: 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] Also, what does the warning sign (exclamation mark in a yellow triangle) on a partition as shown in gparted mean? [03:13] escott: It developed bad sectors.Anything to recover data? [03:14] Jordan_U: It developed bad sectors. [03:14] researcher123: Do you have another drive which is large enough to hold an entire image of the failed drive? [03:14] Oh, 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] Jordan_U: yes Another hard disk available [03:14] escott: By the way, "ddrescue" is much better than simply dd with noerror for this type of thing. [03:15] researcher123: I would recommend using GNU ddresceu (*not* the similarly named but highly inferior dd_rescue) to make an image of the failed drive then.

I'm installing this on an Intel i7. Have they got the intel and AMD versions rolled into the same ISO? [03:25] dsnyders: "amd64" is just the name of the architecture, you can use it [03:26] !amd64 | dsnyders [03:26] dsnyders: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64_Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [03:26] why amd why ? [03:26] dsnyders: basically, amd beat intel to it :) [03:26] do they have contract with them to make advert [03:27] are there any ftp clients for linux that show global speed [03:27] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344296/ [03:27] Dice-Man, it is no more an advertisement than calling something an IBM compatible PC. [03:28] jrib, Okieday. I'll try the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso and see what happens. [03:28] escott: 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] jetsaredim: Well, you have 10 GiB of swap, which is more than a little overkill. [03:28] jetsaredim, you have a 10GB swap for some stupid reason [03:28] yea that seems odd [03:29] cjs, yeah that would make sense. gparted needs to access the interior partition device to do the shrink... hadn't thought of that myself but yes [03:29] escott: 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] escott: gpartx just uses external tools on kernel-created partition devices to do the resize etc. That's the key. [03:30] jetsaredim, 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 partitoin [03:30] Will 12.10 Desktop make a good host OS for virtual machines? [03:30] escott: looks like i fat-fingered the virtual memory size [03:31] cjs, yeah... i would have just booted the livecd image but :) [03:31] dsnyders, sure. i wouldn't run Google on the ubuntu-desktop kernel but its fine [03:32] escott: I think you may be right. :-) === mmgc84_ is now known as devil666 [03:32] cjs, you learned something... now you know why it is better to do the livecd rather than just assuming === devil666 is now known as mmgc84 [03:33] escott: Either that, or I need a clever script such as https://letitknow.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/resizing-lvm-disks-in-kvm-from-host/ [03:38] Hm. I got a ways along, but after a fresh kpartx setup, "mkswap /dev/mapper/guestvolp2" gives me, "device or resource busy." I can dd off and on to that device. Any thoughts on what's up with mkswap?

[03:39] The device didn't even exist a second ago, until I used kpartx to create it. [03:40] escott: Oh, uh oh. Doing a kpartx -d didn't work, and left old devices around. Now I've got problems! [03:41] escott: I guess kpartx reads the partition table to decide what devices to delete, and when I deleted partitions, it couldn't then delete the devices it had previously created from those partitions. [03:41] What fun! [03:41] Now how is it that the kpartx-created devices don't get listed in losetup -a?

[03:55] Jordan_U: kindly see he snip of my command and help to reslove http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344348/ [03:57] talpur, updatedb/locate will not index your $HOME. which only shows executables in your $PATH [03:58] how connect irc chanel port? please help me [03:58] escott: sorry I couldn't understand [03:58] researcher123, not likely. there is the bash history but its not long enough [03:58] hi [03:58] escott: how can I access that? [03:59] talpur, 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 $HOME [03:59] researcher123, history [04:00] escott: ok [04:04] escott: locate does index your home directory by default. [04:04] Jordan_U, so it does... where does it keep that information or is locate setuid? [04:05] escott: /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db , and no update-db needs to be run with sudo by default. [04:06] Jordan_U, i'm wondering what prevents me from running locate and seeing files listed in another users $HOME [04:06] hola [04:07] escott: Good question, looks like locate is indeed setuid. [04:07] Hey guys, I'm about to take the plunge and switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu. If I use the "Windows installer," will it let me reformat/wipe my hard drive before installing? [04:08] Hello. [04:09] timwis: Avoid Wubi. [04:09] Jordan_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 requirement [04:10] Jordan_U: Okay, thanks. In that case, do I need a dedicated USB thumb drive or can I keep the files I have on tthere? [04:11] Jordan_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) === Babacu is now known as kamikaze === kamikaze is now known as glecio === glecio is now known as k4mik4z3 === Magiobiwan is now known as MagiAway === k4mik4z3 is now known as kamikaz3 [04:27] Need help installing Ubuntu 12:10 [04:27] I don't have a cd drive [04:27] so installing using a usb disk [04:28] Keep getting "Boot error" message [04:28] Is software raid on ubuntu reliable? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid this page paints a pretty grim picture but it's a bit outdated.

[05:30] talpaswarrior, Are you certain you have the correct subtitle file? Can you confirm with another player? [05:32] talpaswarrior: 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 though [05:32] i 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] +i [05:32] talpaswarrior: then I immediately find that G and H do the same in VLC. Totem...no idea [05:33] shifting them in a general direction would yield to be useless, as their spacing in time would be unaffected, which is the problem.

[06:41] and every time after some while the system gives " ubuntu 12.10 has experienced an internal error " and ask me to send crash report... [06:41] escott: I didn't mean doing SSH in a browser rather if the address is also a webserver that I'd like to access from a browser [06:42] i see escott it is great idea to speed it up with eatmmydata, but mostly eatmydata description calls for dpkg/synaptic changes itself, not doing to much fsync.

[06:43] Locus_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 resolution [06:44] hello. i installed ubuntu 12.10 but i dont get any screen when it is attached to my 5.1 receiver [06:44] when i attach it directly to the tv its fine. ironically with the live cd it works [06:45] nikolam, 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 install [06:45] not even grub shows [06:45] nikolam, until then you gotta PRELOAD those into oblivian [06:46] escott: maybe I should look into browser plugins... [06:47] aum__: whats going on? did you solve it? [06:48] escott, that's right. that is like it is done on zfs/other platforms. They just snapshot prior install. [06:48] how to set password for grub??

[10:28] I reduced my windows partition by 500GB. I now have a 1450GB windows partition, 500GB unallocated, 50GB recovery partition and 1GB "OEM" partition [10:28] can't create new partition in the unallocated space from the live CD [10:28] and the automated partitioning options are "Replace Windows 7 with Xubuntu" and "Something else" [10:28] Ben64: I was actually using xmonad, using a .xsession file. so for the time being I have moved that a side, but still can't login to the normal ubuntu desktop or the xfce one [10:29] (this is an UEFI computer; using 64 bit live cd of course) [10:29] untaken: do you actually have those installed? Like try (in console) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [10:30] Calinou: can't you do it manually in the installer [10:30] Ben64: guest works though. What I have done for the time being, is login as guest, create a new user and I am using that... but I really want the old user back [10:30] Calinou: if its an uefi device its using gpt instead of mdsos partition table. that is the reason. not everything is gpt capable so far. but since i dont use gpt i cant tell you more about it [10:31] untaken: check log files for a problem [10:31] I had a similar problem, forgot exactly what I did to fix it [10:32] Ben64: what log files in particular, any in /var/log you mean? [10:34] untaken: yeah [10:34] Calinou: can't you do it manually in the installer [10:34] nope. can't create new partitions in the unallocated space; the only thing I can do is create a new partition table (and this erases everything) [10:37] my computer does not recognize the graphics card, in systempreferences --> details there stand "graphics: unknown"... i have a nvidia graphics card and the xorg-log says that it can't load nvidia and nv, but nouveau [10:37] can any1 help me? [10:37] nv is an outdated and unsupported driver [10:38] the only "current" drivers are nouveau and nvidia [10:38] Calinou: yeah, but it gives the info that it loaded nouveau and in the details-window there stands "graphics: unknown" - thats my problem [10:39] Ok, I installed lightdm with a greeter and a window manager (ratpoison). Now when Ubuntu boots, I get the (I suppose) lightdm login prompt where I enter my password but after that it reboots. I wasn't able to find any info on why this is happening... === jaaso is now known as jaaso_ [10:42] Pinchiukas: you might have to click the round icon near your name and change it to another de [10:47] ugh... im getting an error message when I try to install the nvidia binary blob.

[10:51] gparted can't create new partitions in the unallocated space too [10:51] <[HUN]Btvilag> hey everyone does anyone know about ubuntu home automatition? [10:51] Calinou: ive seen where after resizeing ive had to reboot in order for gparted/the system to reread the disk partioning layoug [10:51] layout. [10:52] Calinou: you could also post a screenshot of the gparted screen for us to check out. [10:52] dr_willis, any idea why a program being run as root couldnt create files or folders within /tmp? [10:52] nicekiwi: / getting mounted read only due to fsck errors.. is one possibility [10:53] dr_willis: I resized partition from windows, if that's worth mentioning it. [10:53] <[HUN]Btvilag> try to create files or folders in terminal as root [10:53] windows still boots fortunately :) [10:53] helooooauauauaua [10:53] Calinou: another possible issue is you have 4 primary partions somehow. so cant make another. [10:53] dr_willis, hmm.. could be.. any way I could correct that? ls-l says the permissions are drwxrwxrwt root root [10:53] is the first sector (according to fdisk) sector number 0 or 1? [10:54] Calinou: output of 'sudo fdisk -l' may give us a clue also. [10:54] nicekiwi: can you make a file in / ? your /tmp/ is not mounted to some tmpfs thing is it? (mine is) [10:55] dr_willis: I have a GPT disk, so normally I'm able to create 128 partitions... [10:55] does "unallocated" count as a normal partition, preventing me from creating another partition? === RonaldH is now known as Ronald [10:56] dr_willis, well well, it says its read only. (Ive booted in recovery mode to root console) [10:57] dr_willis, how can I correct this? Ive checked/repaired the disk in Gparted from live CD and it didnt really seem to chnage anything [10:57] nicekiwi: by default i think the recovery console does that. theres some option i thought in the recovery menus to remount it rw, or you can use the remount option to mount. [10:57] you fsck things WHEN they are Read Only. [10:57] or Unmounted. [10:57] if i recall correctly. thats the reason for the RO mounting [10:58] dr_willis, hmm l [10:58] i havent used the recovery console in ages. [10:59] dr_willis, oh yeah... it says it wants to re-mount in RW.. but it just sits for ages and wont actually do it [10:59] going to eat now, bye.

[11:02] dr_willis, i just want to install nvidia drivers :'( [11:02] if you can get to a 2nd console, alt-ctrl-f2 see if you can check 'dmesg' command output [11:02] if the filesystem is currupted.. it needs to be fixed. [11:03] dr_willis, how do I fix it? [11:03] !fsck [11:03] 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 reboot [11:03] with the fsck command. :) with the fs unmounted, or i think 'read only' [11:03] i normally boot a live cd, and use fsck from it.

[11:39] thanks anyway [11:40] I need to learn how to admin ubuntu fast, so if I am asking dumb questions, it's probably because the last contact with apt and dpkg was with Debian Etch [11:40] and Debian 2.2 Potato before than [11:40] s/than/then/ [11:41] Why does ubuntu become sluggish when I open daash?

[17:28] *updated [17:28] Adie: imho it's better to keep servers "lean", trying not to have any unused stuff installed etc.pp. but it is your choice [17:28] Linkandzelda: 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. [17:29] beeg98: I can see how that would be beneficial indeed, for people that just want to setup and stick with it [17:30] Linkandzelda: once support runs out, you no longer get security updates, nor the ability to install software from public repos. [17:30] some_user: ahhh. i still interpret that as / = 13.4GB??? i give up with this gui tool. best of luck. [17:30] zykotick9: Do you know if it's safe to delete /run/user/root/gvfs? [17:31] zykotick9: Do you know if it's safe to delete /run/user/root/gvfs? (if this is a duplicate message, sorry) [17:32] CuriousPostulate: no idea. sorry. [17:32] zykotick9, am downloading lxde. Hope will be better! [17:32] CuriousPostulate: i probably would... [17:33] <_cronus_> some_user, maybe you have files to your / ? [17:33] zykotick9: Okay, I just got back the results from du (I was wondering why it took so long, apparently it counted the stuff from /media/ too) [17:33] how can I use a tab as a delimiter for cut? I tried -d "\t" but it complains about it being several charactedz [17:33] Adie: as llutz said, the desktop version has a lot of services that run (thus opening ports/sockets) that shouldnt be running on a server [17:33] _cronus_: How do you mean? [17:33] characters [17:33] zykotick9: thanks, I'll give it a shot after some more googling [17:33] :( [17:34] I can't even get sound output, but maybe that's the computers fault [17:34] Adie, servers should be lean/hardened (for Enterprise operation :) [17:34] <_cronus_> some_user, try ls / and see if there are any files there [17:34] Adie, but that isnt to say you couldnt run a file server/print server/media server or something of hte like in your home with Desktop [17:35] yeah [17:35] An_Ony_Moose: TAB is default delimiter [17:35] some_user: i'd check your / size using "df -h | grep sd" [17:35] it is a pretty old machine, maybe I should avoid the desktop version [17:35] Adie, what is your intent? [17:35] oracle aid [17:36] vonKemper: dedicated box for torrent seeding, irc bouncer, dedicated internet radio receiver [17:36] I am having trouble setting up sound though >)_< [17:36] Oh, right, heck, I forgot to mention the most important part, sorry. I discovered this usage because my ~ folder was encrypted by something like ecrypt-fs; I followed the instructions for removing that encryption which wiped my home folder (which I had backed up) but the encryption itself still takes up a lot of space; bleh, I can't believe that I forgot to mention this. _cronus_ zykotick9. Also, df -h | grep sd gives back [17:36] /dev/sda6 39G 32G 5.1G 87% / [17:36] [17:36] !mini | Adie use this, install just what you need [17:36] Adie use this, install just what you need: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:37] some_user: i won't see your messages further, best of luck. i add anyone mentioning encrypted filesystems to my /ignore file. [17:37] When I am connected to a wireless and a wired network at the same time, but all connections go through the wired connection instead of the wireless (as I want to) - is it possible to use the wired connection only for a certain IP range? [17:37] Adie: then Server is probably your best bet. if it is older and you want to dedicate it to those services, you would have to do a lot of "leaning out" the desktop version to pare it down to just what you want [17:37] (in my case, 192.168.1.x) [17:37] zykotick9: Haha, okay, that's unfortunate. === test_ is now known as Daxter [17:37] is there a way to set up an unencrypted lvm on kubuntu with livecd? [17:38] automatic lvm in kubuntu livecd like fedora? [17:38] in need with oracle aid any body [17:38] how do I get the default Unity notifications back? I installed Gnome and XFCE4 and now its using Gnome notifications [17:39] wanksta: ? [17:39] Tsubaki: the problem is probably xfce4-notifyd it can be a race to see who gets to be the daemon [17:39] yes Daxter [17:39] Tsubaki: if you remove that notify-osd should take over [17:39] ok how would I do that trism? [17:40] Tsubaki: sudo apt-get remove xfce4-notifyd; [17:41] ok another question, window movement is slow/laggy when I have a webbrowser open (yes I have disabled sync to vblank) [17:41] wanksta: ask your qwuestion not ask for help [17:41] beeg98: and what happens with none LTS version regarding repos and support? [17:41] Hello! I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.10 but I have no ethernet (I have wireless), and I don't know anything about Linux distros, can anybody please assist me? [17:42] Linkandzelda, I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. [17:42] swedeguy27 : make sure the computer is connected to the internet and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [17:42] swedeguy27: does the wire less adapter not show up? can you connect to a wireless network? not sure what exactly your questionj is [17:42] that should install any missing drivers [17:42] beeg98: you mentioned that public repo support and no more security updates after the end of an LTS? I was wondering about the end of a non LTS version [17:42] Daxter, am in need with oracle installation [17:42] swedeguy27you have to hook it up directly to the router then find a driver [17:43] wanksta: you wont say what kind of help you need, hence i cant help you if i dont know what your problem is [17:43] ok another question, window movement is slow/laggy when I have a webbrowser open (yes I have disabled sync to vblank) [17:43] Linkandzelda: it's the same for either version, just LTS versions have support longer, so you don't have to switch as frequently [17:43] Linkandzelda: non-lts support ends after 18 months of release. [17:44] Daxter, i want to install oracle to my pc where can i get the image file [17:44] beeg98: Daxter: I see, thanks thats good to know [17:44] I have an ubuntu install and I am trying to create a custom plymouth boot script but I can't get the X11 utilities for rendering the scripts working, they just pop up a grey screen with nothing on it. [17:44] oracle has many different apps, what application are you trying to install, not "oracle" [17:44] Linkandzelda: whereas LTS support (desktop ends after 3 years (server) 5 years === matt_ is now known as Guest42225 [17:45] Daxter, oracle database [17:45] afternoon [17:46] does anybody have experience working with plymouth scripts? [17:46] Daxter: Linkandzelda sidenote 12.10 has 5 years desktop as well [17:46] I see, I knew that from the wiki page [17:46] Greetings. [17:46] Daxter: Linkandzelda error! s/12.10/12.04/ [17:46] zykotick9: they changed it? used to 10.04.. since i dont use Unity **** [17:46] ...was gonna say - thought 12.10 only had two years :-s [17:47] Daxter: 12.04 is a special thing. with both server and desktop for 5 years. probably a test-case i'd guess. [17:47] How do I set the display mode in a way that it is reliably set after a reboot? -- I set up 1600x1200@75Hz using the "Nvidia X Server Settings", saved the X11 config, rebooted ... but after logging in, it is back to 1280x960. May I have to edit monitor capabilities? [17:48] anyone got display issues with chrome using an ATI card? [17:48] Daxter, oracle database [17:48] well id say support the LTS 5 years no matter what the version..the 3 years for desktop 5 server theyd doen before is weird to me [17:48] linux|newb: I have display issue with chrome with no card? lol [17:49] Daxter, am i need with installation of oracle database [17:49] ati drivers though? [17:49] LigH: did you run the nvidia-settings as root / sudo [17:49] otherwise it wont work [17:49] Linkandzelda: ATI drivers though? [17:50] linux|newb: well no, no graphics card in the machine, display errors such as white only screen (using vnc to connect). what display error do you get? [17:50] tuffgong: ah database...well I have never doen that before. I was just replying since you wouldnt say exactly what oracle app you needed hlep with [17:50] Hello!

How to fix it? === Mic1 is now known as Mic|web [17:50] Daxter, wat about mysql [17:51] Linkandzelda: o, my bad. stuff just doesn't render right. I'm guessing a lot of jscript content because it's especially bad on facebook [17:51] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:51] The following packages have been kept back: [17:51] linux-image-generic [17:51] What does that mean? [17:51] swedeguy27: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:51] Daxter: I ran it from the applications menu, and it asked for permission to save the config ... will try that too. But still, I believe it has a pessimistic monitor frequency range. [17:51] swedeguy27: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install NEW packages [17:51] tuffgong: havent done that either [17:51] linux|newb: chrome or chromium? [17:51] Linkandzelda: chrome. [17:51] !dist-upgrade [17:51] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [17:51] linux|newb: never used chrome only chromium === RobScott is now known as 18VAADM9R [17:51] LigH: run it as sudo nvidia-settings in terminal. [17:52] then set your config again [17:52] Daxter, so how can i clear my cache [17:52] Linkandzelda: and chromium works fine but I annoys me that I can't get it working right on chrome [17:52] linux|newb: any reason why you need chrome? === 18VAADM9R is now known as RobScott [17:52] please, how can i set up an automatic lvm install on ubuntu? [17:52] tuffgong: chace in what? [17:53] cache* [17:53] Linkandzelda: no... like I say, it's just become a point of contention for me :P [17:53] Daxter, commands for cache clearing [17:53] what cache? [17:53] tuffgong: fyi, there is more then one "cache" on a gnu/linux system... [17:53] i cant help you with generic question [17:54] Linkandzelda: chromium pairs with your google account, right? I used it a long time back but before all the services were partnered... [17:54] linux|newb: oh i see, well I suggest you use chromium, I hear that chrome itself isn't as good. and they are the same apps anyway, just different icons, it looks like that anyway. [17:54] BRB [17:54] \o [17:54] linux|newb: it pairs with my google account yea [17:54] Linkandzelda: chrome = chromium with more spying ;) [17:55] zykotick9: yea, and a google coloured icon lol [17:55] Linkandzelda: sweet. might just bite the bullet and stop being such a purist [17:56] linux|newb: its worth it imo [17:57] I 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 link [17:57] poweroff to reboot. [17:57] hello [17:58] zykotick9, lxde is not faster than xubuntu. Adding 1GB of ram i think will be good. what do you think? [17:58] zykotick9, there are some application fails to gt install in ma pc untill you clear cache [17:59] intore: how do you know ram is your problem ? [17:59] If I run xmonad as a window manager, do I have to say I run xmubuntu or something? ;) [17:59] anyone else using GNOME2.x? [17:59] Daxter: Xorg set up with sudo ... back to 1280x960. [17:59] linux|newb: gnome 2 is dead [17:59] linux|newb: no current ubuntu version uses it [17:59] If my motherboards slot type is LGA1155 and I have a processor that uses the LGA1150 slot type it won't fit right (hardware not my area)? [18:00] ikonia: I'm using it right now [18:00] linux|newb: ooh, [18:00] linux|newb: on what ubuntu version ? [18:00] ehm [18:00] 12.04 [18:00] Kircle: try the ##hardware channel [18:00] intore: 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] linux|newb: then you've not got the packages from ubuntu as there are no gnome 2 packages [18:00] LigH: what is the recomended resolution for your monitor? I remember having these kind of problems with a cheap HDTV [18:00] back then gnome was kinda good... [18:00] I have 16GB RAM [18:01] It works perfect. [18:01] tuffgong: to clear apt's download cache, use "sudo apt-get clean" [18:01] ikonia: ...really? weird. [18:01] ikonia, because is only 256mb and because it's slow only browsing internet [18:01] ikonia: one sec [18:01] intore: make sure you keep the distinction between visually slow and actually slow doing the work [18:02] zykotick9, maybe dsl or puppy, minidistro could be better [18:02] ikonia: you're right. I'm full of shit. it just looks like GNOME 2 [18:02] intore: probably. *buntu is a heavy distro... [18:02] linux|newb: please pull back the langauge [18:02] linux|newb: there is no need for it and it's not welcome [18:02] linux|newb: gnome fallback?

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.

Really very good. [18:06] wicksey: so, tell me. shell 3.4.1 has a feature to behave like 2 if chosen at login? [18:06] zykotick9, nothing was done [18:07] LigH: what does the montior says its native resolution is at [18:07] wicksey, really? i don't know it. I'll try, i've got a really old machine! [18:07] tuffgong: i doubt that's true - it should have emptied /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? (but i doubt that's waht your "real" issue is) [18:07] as thats usually what the settings will set it to [18:07] linux|newb, from login, it is possible to choose different desktops...

[18:08] the settings should tell you what the recommended resoultion is [18:08] #mason [18:09] intore, I'm using it to type this. Crunchbagn statler is the stable and seems to use a bit less ram than crunchbang waldorf - a newer development version. Statler uses about 90mb when idling. [18:09] Well, nvidia-settings defaults to 1280x960 @ auto [18:09] zykotick9, mysql fails to install [18:09] zykotick9, thats why cache clearing [18:09] intore, waldorf uses about 130mb here [18:10] tuffgong: you should probably use a pastebin site to paste your actual error output... good luck man.

[18:12] zykotick9, may be u can give me some command on how to install mysql [18:13] wicksey: sure it worked. but I wanted to have a little explore. I was under the impression that RHEL used GNOME2 y'see so wanted to get familiar with it [18:13] thank you [18:13] see you! [18:14] linux|newb, hehe... yeah, I understand that perfectly [18:14] wicksey: it does use GNOME 2 then...? [18:15] linux|newb, RHEL? Don't know. But 12.04 certainly doesn't.

[18:18] \o [18:19] wicksey: I like it. I prefer it to Unity [18:19] is it possible to switch ubuntu 12.10 to gnome\kde without reinstalling it? [18:19] hello 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] im fairly new to linux, trying it in virtualbox [18:19] linux|newb: ...however, you got any idea how to make the top and bottom panels stretch across dual screens? [18:19] and so far i hate unity [18:20] wicksey: ...however, you got any idea how to make the top and bottom panels stretch across dual screens? [18:20] Maddin, how are you trying to install g++? apt-get should handle all dependencies for you [18:20] Hello, what happens if you use shutdown now without -h? [18:20] another thing that could help is to make it work fast, because i installed virtualbox's guest additions and its still fairly crappy [18:20] linux|newb, no experience with that at all I'm afraid. Never done it. [18:20] APV1996, the computer will not power down after the operating system has stopped [18:21] anyone? [18:21] Seveas, yes I did use apt-get but as I said there are version conflicts. It rejects to install the package. [18:21] Maddin, pastebin the full output please [18:21] wicksey: 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] Jiyuu|C, what are you asking? [18:22] linux|newb, indeed it's not gnome2 [18:22] wicksey: anyway - I've harped on much too long at you about this. I'll move on ;) [18:22] if i could switch to gnome without needing to download a full installer just to do that [18:22] thats one [18:22] two is if theres something i need to do to get this running properly in virtualbox [18:22] because right now it totally crappy [18:22] Stars-: hi [18:23] i think because its not doing 2d acceleration [18:23] but im not sure [18:23] this might best be asked in a virtualbox channel [18:23] but im trying here in case its not [18:23] Jiyuu|C, Yeah, doesn't run well here in virtualbox either. Works nice installed straight onto hardware. [18:23] lol [18:23] hi guys what would I need to do in order to setup a "mail server"? I wanna pipe incoming emails to a php script, I'm fairly new to ubuntu/linux so I really have no idea. This is for a virtual private server btw [18:23] it doesnt work well in virtualbox only? [18:23] Daxter: xorg.conf is still correct, as I saved it. It is just refused during the initialization. [18:23] or in general [18:24] maslo, you'd need to install a mail daemon such as postfix and tell it to pipe all mails to your script [18:24] Jiyuu|C, For me, unity did not work well in virtualbox only [18:25] Seveas: Thank you it's very appreciated [18:25] wicksey, anyway, first i must get rid of unity [18:25] Seveas, I posted the output [18:25] Maddin, where? :) [18:25] is it really impossible to run/install thunderbird version 2 on ubuntu precise? [18:25] (url to the paste please) [18:25] wicksey, so, is there a way to switch without reinstalling the entire OS?

In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB [18:35] Maddin, k, then we'll try to keep it working. Any luck with that apt-get? (pastebin please) [18:35] Updated the Gnome settings, rebooting again. [18:35] \o [18:36] is there a way to write MAC OS flash drive under Ubuntu does this change greator program service ..?>>? [18:36] Seveas, there we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345870/ [18:37] !hfs [18:37] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [18:41] Maddin, looks like you had updates enabled at some point but not anymore. This is fixable :) [18:41] Daxter: After setting the resulution with nvidia-settings, I called the display settings page in the Gnome System Configuration tool and saved it, now that I was able to chose 1600x1200. Then it persisted after rebooting and logging in (into Gnome Classic desktop). [18:41] Maddin, replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with what's on http://pastebin.com/CL2mcCXV [18:41] that enables the updates and security updates repos [18:43] Seveas, oh ok, but I did update to the newest packages but disabled the option after that that it doesnt bother me with asking each time [18:43] Maddin, you shouldn't disable that, those updates are important [18:43] besides, now that your ubuntu version is obsolete, there won't be further updates ;) [18:43] right [18:44] thats why I disabled them [18:44] :P [18:45] why can't I install libncurses5-dev:i386 and libncurses5-dev at the same time? :) === they- is now known as unrar [18:46] I'm quite sure that on some earlier ubuntu I could install both arch files at the same time [18:46] olmari: how are you trying to install them? [18:46] ThinkT510: apt-get install [18:46] hmm, odd [18:46] thing is that openwrt buildsystem needs amd64 version, cyanogenmod buildsystem i386 [18:47] it's either one, confilcts if try isntall both [18:47] screw the typos =) [18:48] Seveas, :O I have some updates available, NICE! Sorry for that dump action, I will let the system update now and tell you then... [18:51] Bye. [18:51] \o [18:52] Bombo: you probably need to install smbfs [18:54] smbfs? [18:54] smbfs is obsolete, you'll want cifs [18:58] I typed it on the command line [18:58] Hello everyone, sorry for the noob question but is there something else out there that is like Resara? (Nice Front end to Samba?) [18:58] and it prompt it :P [18:59] Has Ubuntu server done something like this yet? [18:59] The program 'smbmount' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install smbfs [18:59] :P [19:00] has it ever happened to you that you install Ubuntu Desktop and it doesn't boot at all? [19:00] I've installed 12.04 in an Acer Aspire One (Netbook) [19:00] Is /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/... now in /lib/modules/NNN-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/... ? [19:01] Can anyone here explain me why Ubuntu does not support the NZB file extention? Or even how to get support for this file type. [19:01] I try to find a way for Ubuntu to know how to handle NZB files. [19:01] NZB files are xml files that I use for usenet downloading. [19:01] Trying to get an old dongle to work. Having this issue: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-October/005699.html [19:02] and now it won't boot if the pendrive that installed it isn't plugged [19:03] It is part of bcm203x, modinfo gives http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345926/ [19:03] Hello everyone, sorry for the noob question but is there something else out there that is like Resara? (Nice Front end to Samba?) [19:03] a front end that does what exactly? [19:03] Have you seen Resara? [19:04] but dmesg gives "Bluetooth: Mini driver request failed , bcm203x: probe of NN-2:1.0 failed with error -5" [19:04] Its a complete GUI to Samba from what I understand [19:04] my laptop just stopped booting [19:04] all I did was do a hard shutdown out of LiveCD to boot into a newer LiveCD [19:04] but when I turned it on nothing shows on the screen [19:05] And thus does not get mounted. hcitool, hciconfig etc gives no devices [19:05] sourceminer: samba client? or samba server? [19:05] Samba server [19:06] lsusb gives Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth [19:06] so do I assume Linux just destroyed my laptop for no good reason? [19:06] I am looking for a great alternative to active directory (but needs to be easy to use) [19:08] Hi [19:10] I have a question: I'm beta testing Steam for Linux and am using an AMD card. According to this wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve the experimental driver has not been released yet. [19:10] Does anybody know when those drivers might be released? [19:10] probably later on [19:10] Hi how can i enable vhost in apache [19:11] BrianBlaze, obviously later on but does anybody have an idea for an ETA? [19:12] Seveas, Thank you very much for your help! It works now, after the update finished I can install all the packages I need. :) You rock! [19:13] Yuioup: They might know in #ubuntu-x [19:13] genii-around, thanks! I'll try there [19:14] hello, i have qmail running on an ubntu server and i would like to export a list of all contacts from all attached email accounts, is that possible in some way? [19:14] for a newsletter [19:14] my laptop just stopped booting [19:14] all I did was do a hard shutdown out of LiveCD to boot into a newer LiveCD [19:14] but when I turned it on nothing shows on the screen [19:14] what chmod should i put folders for users other than myself while remaining safe? [19:15] from 12.04 disk to 12.10 [19:16] hey guys i dont have CD big enough to install 12.10 64bit. any suggestions? [19:16] mastershake: usb [19:16] USB [19:16] oops I am slow [19:16] :) [19:16] via unetbootin? [19:16] 132wpm :P [19:17] maslo: via unetbootin, correct? [19:17] lululive works too [19:18] im having issues. thanks, let me give it a shot and ill be back. [19:18] LinuxLive USB creator :) [19:18] I mean [19:19] why wont i get the selection menu to boot unetbootin when i boot up? i have no removable media connected, and it just boots straight to 12.04 i accidentally installed the 32 instaed of 64bit [19:20] can anybody recommend a c++ ide [19:21] i installed anjuta but i couldnt find how to compile the code :/ [19:22] milgar, hit f3 [19:23] Maddin, you're welcome :) [19:25] hello how can i enable vhost in apache? [19:27] btw the ui looks completely different from the image from software center [19:28] software center? ;) [19:28] ubuntu software center, or even from the website of anjuta [19:29] well, ive just installed the anjuta and im kinda having some problems with using it [19:30] when i pressed f3 it asked for program parameters, and im not realy sure what to do with it [19:30] Anyone 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. ;p [19:31] JFranks: why not just copy the data across? [19:33] gordonjcp: 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] JFranks: that won't work, because it assumes the data is all up one end of the disk [19:34] which it pretty much never is [19:34] * k4l4shn1k0v is away: dinner time [19:36] Hi. 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] Hmmm 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] JFranks: or, you could just copy the data off it, onto the new drive [19:36] hey 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] Is possible to share internet connection using 2 ethernet cards? [19:36] gordonjcp: Yes in this case I do still have that option. In this case.. :( [19:37] derp of course [19:37] noiro: you can go into the control centre, Brightness and Lock, and turn off lock [19:37] JFranks: why wouldn't you have that option? [19:37] ahh ok, thanks gordonjcp [19:38] derp: yes, indeed. What exactly are you trying to do though? [19:38] JFranks: just mount it, and copy the stuff off - possibly using rsync with appropriate switches to keep the permissions straight [19:38] gordonjcp: If the drive was backed up, then failed, and all I had was the 2TB backup image? Which was the reason I am running parted on my machines .. now I have to re-think it.. or always use a recovery drive that's BIGGER than the IMG and then re-size and clone that disk.. which is .. nuts. [19:39] JFranks: yes, from the image [19:39] just mount it... [19:39] Ahhh well that's different [19:40] Arla: are you mixing repositories or something? What's the output of « apt-cacde policy bundler ruby-bundler »? [19:40] Er news to me.. I didn't know I could mount the IMG and I don't know the proper process to do that.. :( [19:40] Arla: are you mixing repositories or something? What's the output of « apt-cache policy bundler ruby-bundler »? [19:40] * jrib hates this keyboard [19:40] JFranks: oh, oho right, look at "mount -o loop" [19:40] I am going to install ubuntu on my USB. will it use my USB as HDD or just my normal HDD? :/ [19:42] jrib: Ditto.. I asked the man with the plan and the dough for the show to look into better keyboards with 'mechanical' key switches and he bought a gaming KB with 'silent' mechanical keys.. So I get all the effort of a membrane with none of the tactile feedback of a mechanical.. Thanks boss! ;) [19:43] JFranks: hahaha [19:43] (sorry) [19:43] jrib: I'm not sure what you mean but this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1346022/ [19:43] Aha2Y: It will use use the USB as the main HDD. You will be able to mount the internal HDD as you would an external HDD normally. Assuming you are doing the full normal install of course and not one of the liveUSB style methods. [19:43] It's okay.. I have to laugh too.. Hard to slag on him for investing $130 into a nice KB only to get the wrong one.. [19:44] !info bundler [19:44] bundler (source: bundler): Manage Ruby application dependencies. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.4-5 (quantal), package size 145 kB, installed size 624 kB [19:44] Is it possible to increase the amount the middle scroll wheel scrolls? It is so very little on my computer === ivan_ is now known as Guest99001 [19:44] kunji: How you mean normal install? [19:44] univeral USB installer at ubuntu.com [19:45] Arla: there's probably an open bug about this, have you checked? [19:45] jrib: No. I was so sure it was just me fudging things up by using both gem and apt for the same things. Will check. [19:46] Aha2Y: 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] Arla: what command did you run? [19:47] oh [19:47] How can I make sure my second HDD(NTFS) that's in /media/user/MyBook is mounted before launching my torrent daemon? [19:47] I mean can I change the startup order in anyway? [19:48] JFranks: you like clicky keyboards? You need an old Dell QuietKey in your life [19:49] jrib: I'm not sure. I have the command history still, but I don't remember the reason for every command. [19:49] Arla: to me it just seems like bundler and ruby-bundler are redundant packages. [19:49] Chotaz: If it has an entry in the /etc/fstab it should be getting mounted before desktop loads [19:50] genii-around, can I replicate the entry from /etc/mstab ?

Version 1.0.15-0ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 99 kB, installed size 648 kB [19:50] Aha2Y: Oh, you're starting from being in windows? Yeah use the Universal USB Installer to make the liveUSB, and then use that to install to a USB drive. Assuming you want a persistant proper installation on the USB drive. If you just want a liveUSB, then just stop after making that, I think they have some persistent file storage when made this way, but not for installed programs, etc... [19:50] Arla: I would recommend you file a bug and for now just pick one to use [19:50] Yes that. [19:50] :P [19:50] Chotaz: No, they don't use identical syntax. [19:50] I don't want Ubuntu (installed at USB) use my personal HDD. [19:51] genii-around, well in my fstab I only have my main HDD system's partition and it's swap partition [19:51] jrib: As you could see, I have only one of them installed now. So what is the problem from apt's point of view? [19:51] For some reason my key bindings don't work, such as alt-tab, any fixes besides the keyboard menu in system settings? [19:51] Arla: this is why I asked you what command you ran [19:51] Arla: whatever you command you ran, asked to install "bundler" [19:51] jrib: apt-get -f install [19:51] Any guesses why precise is ignoring my touchpad sensitivity setting? [19:52] Aha2Y: It doesn't need to use your internal HDD as long as you don't install it to the internal HDD. [19:52] nice. [19:52] Arla: so you have a package that explicitly depends on bundler [19:52] Would 8GB be enough? [19:52] jrib: How can I see what package(s) that might be? [19:52] Arla: apt-cache rdepends bundler [19:52] !fstab | Chotaz [19:52] Chotaz: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:52] Actually I now know that I don't have key bindings because I am not in 3D mode. However there is no option on the login for 3D mode, any fixes? [19:52] what is this ???i am getting nothing [19:52] Aha2Y: Yep, unless you want to install lotsa software [19:53] !help | marriam [19:53] marriam: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:53] jrib: Nice. Five packages depend on bundler and none on ruby-bundler [19:53] jrib: So I could just uninstal ruby-bundler and try again? [19:53] Arla: consider using "bundler" and removing "ruby-bundler". And you should file a bug imo [19:53] genii-around, adding it to fstab I can be sure that it is mounted before any UpStart script? [19:53] !Partitions [19:53] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [19:54] !swap [19:54] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [19:54] kunji: If i got a 8GB usb how big should i set the Presistent file size for storing changes? [19:54] jrib: Unfortunately apt won't remove anything before the conflict is fixed... [19:55] Chotaz: The upstart script mountall which is what will look at the fstab usually gets run before any applications get started [19:55] Arla: one shot: sudo apt-get install bundler ruby-bundler- [19:55] genii-around, thanks for clarifying me and some more info ^^ [19:56] Aha2Y: Are you intending to use the 8 GB usb as the final place for Ubuntu to be installed, or for the liveUSB to do the installation? [19:56] My wifi disconnects about every 5-10 minutes on Ubuntu 12.04. I have the AR9462 wifi chip, what drivers do I need to install? [19:56] jrib: Nice. But it chooses to install bundler before removing ruby-bundler [19:57] Arla: ha, try changing the order [19:57] I did [19:57] without success [19:57] Arla: :/ ok. Use dpkg to remove it then [19:57] kunji: http://owely.com/4dYtqn <- [19:57] I have no idea :P [19:57] gordonjcp: I've actually got a friend that collects IBM 8923s so that he'll always have one to type on.. I'm pretty jelly.. Now back to Parted.. I ran it via clonezilla, which made 'parts' in .gz format.. So mounting is now a lost option unless I want to re-assemble the compressed parts first, which is as much work as restoring to a larger drive.. So I guess I need to rethink the image creation process because all I've made so far are n [19:57] useless backups.. :( [19:58] jrib: Yay, the conflict is solved now. [19:58] Hi, this question has been probably asked many times. I can't get 12.10 and fglrx to work? help? [19:58] Arla: yay :P [19:58] jrib: I will file a bug [19:58] Almost tempted to just fork out some $ and let Ghost take over for Parted.. The resize options are apparently worth the investment.. [19:59] Aha2Y: 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] JFranks: in future use dd to clone the whole drive, or ddrescue === jack is now known as Guest43410 [19:59] JFranks: if you extract the .gz of the partition, can you mount it? [19:59] Nah just a USB installation :o [19:59] jrib: The point in the bug report should be that bundler and ruby-bundler cause a conflict, right? [20:00] gordonjcp: It's like sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ab sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ac ... etc. [20:00] JFranks: O_O [20:00] JFranks: okay, how big are the pieces? [20:00] jrib: Should I file it for apt or bundler? I'm not used to filing bugs. [20:01] gordonjcp: I'm assuming I'd have to 'join' those chunks then decompress it to get an .img .. The chunks are 2GB === peterrus- is now known as peterrus [20:01] JFranks: so something like cat chunk.gz.aa chunk.gz.ab chunk.gz.ac > allchunks.gz [20:01] Aha2Y: 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] and gunzip them [20:02] JFranks: the command line is a powerful tool and a dangerous weapon [20:02] JFranks: be careful, or it'll cut your leg off [20:02] JFranks: of course if you *want* to cut your leg off, it's not going to stop you [20:03] gordonjcp: That's why we don't run around as root all the time :P [20:03] kunji: indeed === brett_ is now known as brett19 [20:03] s/root/scissors/ ? [20:03] kunji: but sometimes you've got to just tie that chainbrake back and take the kevlar gloves off... [20:03] Arla: you should file it against ruby-bundler [20:03] Arla: that's the one you removed, right? [20:03] jrib: yes [20:03] thanks [20:04] anyone seen where u suddenly cant connect via winscp and when via ssh cant do and ls or directory commands? [20:04] could this be something to do with a windows drive i mounted i fstab [20:07] Billy_: I've never had that happen, and my comp always has an NTFS drive mounted. Have you checked if there's any funny business going on in the .bashrc file? === MagiAway is now known as Magiobiwan [20:09] hello, I have just downloaded the ubuntu 12.04 iso from the webpage. I then attempted to use the start disc maker. I tried this twice. Both times I got the same error after a "successful" install. The error occurs when I try to boot to the usb device. it says that there is on pae kernel included.... I think the pae kernel is in the iso by default [20:11] MaynardWaters: Did you check the iso image after you downloaded it to make sure it had the correct md5 sum and was not corrupted? [20:13] genii-around: so im not going insane, the pae kernel should be included in the default iso, right? [20:13] hi [20:14] does ubuntu work over an windows 8 system???? [20:15] MaynardWaters: I don't know offhand, I use the 64bit one. i would think so however [20:15] ok :) [20:15] MaynardWaters, ubuntu now by default uses the pae kernel on 32 bit [20:15] i have a 64 bit syst === Guest43410 is now known as wN [20:17] I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and now my computer will not boot, it just gets to the purple Ubuntu screen with 5 little dots below the word Ubuntu. When I run in recovery boot up, it stops and has several options but no matter what option I choose it will not continue to boot, any suggestions? It seems to be something dealing with video [20:18] genii-around, can you assist me further with the prblem ? I tried replicating based on the already inserted the devices and the mtab entry for the secondary disk and I got an error message while starting the system saying there was a problem mounting the disk, here's a small report of what I did: http://pastie.org/private/fkim3pcvee7aicqtamhga. [20:22] siemka [20:23] thanks kostkon [20:23] and thanks genii-around [20:27] Chotaz: Where you wrote "none" is where you put the mountpoint, which must already exist. So you would make the directory under /media like /media/user first then /media/user/MyBook and then put that instead of where you put "none" in the fstab line [20:27] Just got on Ubuntu 12.10, and Thunderbird seem to be using a lot of CPU resources (about 35%). is this a known issue? [20:27] Chotaz: Apologies on lag, work is requiring my attention quite a bit [20:30] hi .. [20:31] genii-around, no problem, will reboot one last time to confirm it's working. I'll report in a bit. [20:32] Ciao [20:32] hi , I am having problem with usb-modem ... it disconnects every one hour .... pls help me .. [20:33] umm by guessingg I would say overheating.. [20:33] lol [20:33] and usb modems are fails... [20:33] what ?? [20:33] in windows it worked for hours .. [20:35] The problem is from starting, when i started using 11.04 ..

[20:40] thelinux: Yes, but they also say it's an unstable driver [20:41] yeehi, never even heard of it prior to today. i usually use ufw or iptables directly, so... i'd have to research it first :P [20:41] * TheLordOfTime boots up a VM [20:41] fwbuilder is a gui for iptables, TheLordOfTime [20:41] woah tons of people here [20:41] domedagen: Did you try the driver? [20:41] yeehi, i've never used fwbuilder, i use iptables directly in terminal, so... no clue what "options" you're talking about [20:42] yeehi, give me a few, i'll see if i can't help/ [20:42] how exactly does one force an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10?

[20:42] thanks, TheLordOfTime [20:42] Anyone have a decent link to setting up my Ubuntu 11.01 for custom themes? I'm rather new to the Linux OS.

[20:44] himanshu_linux: I'll help you, wait till I search online. [20:44] OerHeks: Isn't it easier just to go to Additional Drivers? [20:44] Hello. i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and fix the blueness in flash video by "perl -pi.2.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so" but since 2 days i need to repeat that often. any ideas why? [20:44] geting back to trying to mount a windows shared folder in my vmware-ubuntu box, but haven't figured it out yet. Per someone's advice earlier, I tried installing smbfs and samba-common [20:44] domedagen, it is not available yet. so trying out that beta driver is at your own risk. [20:44] OerHeks: But can't you try it first? [20:45] patr|ck: did you try to disable flash hardware acceleration¿ [20:45] domedagen, no. [20:45] domedagen: I'll test It, I will be a guinea pig. [20:45] xangua, thats what the command does [20:45] no hdmi audio with a hd7770 any help? catalyst control centre is installed i get an option under sound settings to enable hdmi but when I test it there is nothing. I have family coming over tonight and would love to wow them with my setup watching a movie [20:45] please i beg for help [20:46] patr|ck: on any flash video, set it to full screen, right clic, properties, disable hardware acceleration [20:46] .... [20:46] how do I restart the dhcp server? I tried sudo service dhcpd restart with no lock [20:47] OerHeks: thelinux When do you think they will be considered more or less stable? I don't think NVidia would release something that doesn't work at all [20:47] what would an equivalent to ccleaner be in ubuntu? i play a lot of flash games and havent cleared my cache cause i dont wanna lose my saves. [20:47] domedagen: Well if it's beta, it still has some small bugs. [20:48] hello [20:48] XiaolinDraconis: Feel like recommending some? [20:48] domedagen, Kongregate.com [20:48] Akuma: Try either sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart or: sudo restart isc-dhcp-server [20:48] i want to move to ubuntu from windows 7 and i have a driver issue [20:48] XiaolinDraconis, try bleachit [20:48] genii-around: I'll try thanks [20:48] pvr-7131se [20:49] OerHeks, thanks [20:49] thelinux: Yes, but what will "some small bugs" lead to if they are in the driver [20:49] how to install tvtuner pvr-7131se kworld [20:49] ATI or nVidia on Ubuntu. Which one should I go for when buying a new motherboard? [20:49] domedagen: Ocassional "crash" I guess. [20:49] domedagen, my favorite is BloonsTD 5 [20:49] bie [20:49] wyclif: I'd suggest Nvidia [20:49] XiaolinDraconis: LoL! Played that years ago [20:50] genii-around: neither worked [20:50] Do you think the revolution has begun with Steam for Linux and all? [20:50] domedagen, part 5 is only a year old, only been available on kongregate for 4 months [20:50] how does one force an upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04? [20:50] domedagen: yup [20:50] Akuma: You have a dhcp server actually installed? [20:51] thelinux: just to be clear, beta doesn't mean there are bugs or crashes, just as stable does not mean there are not bugs. All beta means is that it hasn't been out in the wild in the hands of users very long, though some organizations choose to use stricter standards internally. [20:51] yes [20:51] Raspberry Pi looks awesome [20:51] nostrum_: You dont want to upgrade to 12.10 if you're using Unity [20:51] XiaolinDraconis: How dare you to talk with domedagen? He's my boyfriend. [20:51] nostrum_: software center, edit, sources, updates, set normal version upgrades [20:51] genii-around: I was just reading where Linus trashed nVidia. Kind of makes it harder for me to sort out which is optimal. [20:51] XiaolinDraconis: I'm getting one for Christmas! [20:51] domedagen: well what if I wanna kill unity and use somethin else [20:51] Akuma: What says result of: ls /etc/init/dhcp* ? [20:52] kunji: Well yes, it's still in "testing" phase. [20:52] hello i have a login.keyring, of an other installation, is there a way to import it in my current installation ? [20:52] wyclif: I would go ATI over Nvidia anyday, but the reasoning is not straightforward regarding why. [20:52] ps -aufx shows: dhcpd 1250 0.0 0.1 4044 2180 ? Ss Oct30 0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf eth0 [20:52] thelinux, i am a dude, dont think u got no worries here [20:52] XiaolinDraconis: I'm guy too, I was joking. [20:52] thelinux: Overly attached IRC-user [20:53] hey everyone, i have a packaging question [20:53] kunji: why ATI over nVidia? [20:53] domedagen: I was joking with him. [20:53] xangua: domedagen: thanks, what's the default wm for 12.10 then instead of unity? would it install by default during upgrade or did you warn because there are issues with auto update? [20:53] genii-around: no such file or dir [20:53] nvidia is cheap [20:53] thelinux: I know [20:53] in many ways [20:53] kunji, i cant wait to check it out, sounds like the perfect thing for my 10 thousand roms, if i can get emulators to run on it [20:53] Akuma: Does /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf exist? [20:53] i'm trying to build libvirt-1.0.0 for quantal, but it somehow ends up depending on libyajl1 instead of libyajl2. Where should i look? [20:53] Is there any push to talk thing compatible with unity [20:54] exalt, export those keys first, then you can import the keys in your current installation. [20:54] skype is what I need it for, generic will do [20:54] XiaolinDraconis: What emulators you use? === mani is now known as msound [20:54] tthe only I can find uses gnome-panel [20:54] it does not [20:54] OerHeks, how will i be able to export it ? [20:54] my conf is in /etc/dhcpd3 [20:54] Akuma: What dhcp server did you install? [20:54] nostrum_: Ubuntu crew has fucked Unity up for 12.10 with Amazon in Dash and all. Better use GNOME if you want to use 12.10 [20:55] thelinux, just about all of them, all the ones that run the best [20:55] exalt > i believe gpg keys only, other password should be readable >> should behttp://www.debuntu.org/how-to-import-export-gpg-key-pair [20:55] nostrum_: * messed up Unity [20:55] thelinux : I have tried all the tricks ... it is not working .. [20:55] no clue, it was a while ago [20:55] domedagen: k well maybe I switch to xfce or somethin [20:55] XiaolinDraconis: Great, I might test NES games. [20:56] dhcpd3-server [20:56] Akuma: The dhcp3-server package is apparently now just linked to the isc-dhcp-server, i would suggest to just install that. [20:56] XiaolinDraconis: This is what I call a good flash game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/aardman/home-sheep-home-2-lost-underground [20:56] XiaolinDraconis don't touch my boyfriend domedagen [20:57] can't seem to find that in apt get [20:58] Unity > Gnome 3 for me [20:58] Gnome is worse to use IMO [20:58] nostrum_: Hopefully, but unlikly they will realise that they are wrong. You can however install 12.10 and then log in to GNOME from the login screen [20:58] Akuma: Did you do first: sudo apt-get update ? [20:58] guys [20:58] ben1066: Not since the new update [20:58] thelinux, if thats what he calls a good game, you aint got no worries [20:58] Akuma: 'apt-file search' 'apt-cache search' [20:58] Im running 12.10 [20:58] inb4 windows user migrating deffinitively to ubuntu [20:58] ;p [20:58] wat do? [20:58] It's better than Gnome 3, Gnome 3 is really annoying [20:58] ben1066: Gnome even has a menu no? [20:58] wyclif: 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] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I hit ctrl-tab, all of my menus disappear and I must log out and then login again in order to launch, move, or close any windows [20:59] Gnome classic does... [20:59] Can anyone tell me why that is? [20:59] XiaolinDraconis: Oh that was mean, just because I'm gay you make me feel bad. [20:59] ben1066: domedagen please stop that discussion - each one has his/her own likes/dislikes [20:59] ben1066: But Gnome 3 as well? What don't you like with GNome 3? Havent treid it myself [20:59] guntbert, its all in fun, i think [21:00] guntbert, no1 has made fun of anyones lifestyle [21:00] XiaolinDraconis: doesn't matter - this channel is for support only [21:00] Akuma: If still not found, you may be running an older Ubuntu ( 8.04 or earlier ) [21:00] guntbert, [21:00] sorry [21:00] gnome 3 just feels a bit clunky to me [21:00] And is worse for multi monitors [21:00] Actually, 10.04, rather [21:00] XiaolinDraconis: Joking. I'm not gay nor straight, I'm asexual guy cause I see you are already turned on, well HA you can't have me. I'm too cool. [21:01] thelinux, you better stop teasing before you get us both silenced [21:01] ;p [21:01] thelinux: please stick in channel topic [21:02] Tm_T: No worries. [21:02] thelinux, a good tip, when you get a warning and then see chanserv grant someone OP status or similar, its time to run. [21:03] Any idea how I can get the theme I downloaded to run? [21:03] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I hit ctrl-tab, all of my menus disappear and I must log out and then login again in order to launch, move, or close any windows -- is this a "feature" ? [21:03] hey something i can help with for a change [21:03] rinches, i can help with that [21:03] Awesome, do you want to meet in a private chat or explain here? [21:03] rinches, first off are you using unity, and here works [21:04] Ubunut [21:04] Ubuntu 11.10* [21:04] rinches, ok if i remember right that comes with unity [21:05] rinches, but it wont matter cause i think you still need the gnome tweak tool [21:05] rinches, extract the theme you downloaded to /home/yourusername/.themes [21:06] rinches, its a hidden folder inside your home directory === shihan_ is now known as Shihan [21:06] ls /home/username/ .themes for CLI right? [21:07] rinches: without the ' ' in between [21:07] rinches, doesnt have to be cli [21:07] I know it doesn't have to be cli, but I'm trying to learn it anyway [21:07] For the future lol [21:07] rinches, you can open the location in nautilus and drag and drop from the archive if you prefer [21:07] ok then [21:07] Akuma: 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 restart [21:08] But I first need to get the Gnome tweaker [21:08] So I'll go ahead and download that. [21:08] rinches, what type of theme are you installing? gtk3 or something else? [21:08] Let me look, I'll link the website where I got it from. [21:09] rinches, good idea [21:09] http://www.technama.com/2009/ubuntu-themes-61-awesome-themes-for-linux/ [21:09] Hello everyone [21:09] Hi Deluxo [21:09] where do i report bug for wacom tablets? [21:09] my shortcut buttons on the tablet dont work [21:09] rinches: themes from 2009 for a disto from 2011... [21:10] cant even map them, list ist empty in settings [21:10] OerHeks, how do i stop a chroot ? [21:10] rinches, which theme are you going with? [21:11] Overglossed theme [21:12] rinches, you should probably look for an equivalent of this theme in gtk3 themes on gnome-look [21:12] Okay cool, thanks. [21:13] I'm still new to Linux and so far I'm completely impressed with the layout. [21:13] so [21:13] I'm going to use Windows 7 for my desktop and Linux for my laptop. I've got to learn this for my college courses. That's why I'm trying to learn about things in CLI [21:13] where do i report bugs regarding the wacom tablets? [21:13] on the CLI * [21:13] rinches, theming can be a pain in the rump, but once you got it down, there are sooo many options [21:13] Hello everyone, I am wondering if there is someone on that could explain how to integrate the bitdefender antivirus scabber for unices inside nautilus === marco is now known as Guest55462 [21:14] exalt, i don't know, sorry [21:14] Well I've got to download and install advanced settings from the Software Center first lol [21:16] rinches, if your system specs are up to it, i suggest trying out qemu, you can do all the experimenting you want without risking harm to your system [21:17] So it's similar to Virtual Machine? [21:17] rinches, yes thats what it is [21:17] Awesome, I'll check it out thanks :D [21:17] I've got a few virtual machines on my desktop that I'm using. [21:18] We start Mac OS X next week. I'm not looking forward to that. Haha [21:18] rinches, im learning arch linux using qemu, arch is almost all cli [21:18] College as well? [21:18] hi [21:18] hi anyone successful at speed up 12.04 boot time that could help me? [21:18] rinches, no teaching myself [21:19] I would've taught myself all this stuff, but then I wouldn't get a degree for it, so I just put myself into college. [21:19] bekor: buy an ssd [21:19] compared to 10.04, 12.04 is already freaking fast [21:19] rinches, ive got debts stopping me from that, 600 dollars to go before i can enroll again [21:19] I AM SORRY WHAT IS A SSD? [21:19] Aww man, that's not good. [21:19] !ssd [21:19] solid state disk [21:20] a type of hard drive, but made of chips. no platters [21:20] Like a ram stick Bekor :D [21:20] no factoid either [21:20] well i have 7200 rpm's that should be enough [21:20] bekor: go away with statement [21:20] with THAT statement [21:21] rinches: using Linux will def help you learn how to use the CLI and all the *NIX utilities [21:21] !list [21:21] Tarenpudd: No warez here!

[21:22] rinches, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Think+Correctly+GTK+Theme?content=148576 its not the same as what you wanted but so far the most similar i could find [21:22] !shout | bekor [21:22] bekor: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:22] I have a question about what appears to be a bug. Is it customary to chit-chat before asking a question? [21:22] sorry bad typing skills [21:23] sneakyimp_: people chitchat, but it is best to go straight to the question [21:23] sneakyimp_: no, please come right to the point [21:23] "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. Unity launcher doesn't behave like this - and that's by deign." So what is the proper way to minimize/maximize window? Right now, having some window in the background that I want to minimize, first I need to go to the launcher click on the icon to bring it to front, go all the w === Therstrium_ is now known as Therstrium [21:24] rinches, even closer, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Sway+Black-Base+LIGHT+BLUE?content=153849 [21:24] Thanks bud, I've got to figure out what all files I need to download since this is a somewhat clean install. I'm on a dual boot laptop at the moment. I can't get rid of Windows 7 just yet on this laptop [21:24] 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] ...close any windows. Is this a "feature" or is it a bug? [21:25] so has anyone had the same issues with 12.04 booting slow? [21:25] sneakyimp_: any reason you haven't upgraded to 12.04 or 12.10? [21:25] not really [21:26] anyone have any tips for faster boot time? [21:26] bekor: ssd + gentoo or arch [21:26] 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 upgrade [21:26] bekor: you mean easy peasy stuff or serious business? [21:26] bekor, preloader sped me up a bit [21:27] sneakyimp_: but you said you just upgraded to 11.10 [21:27] jrib: I cannot afford the downtime should Eclipse stop working, for instance [21:27] jrib: I did -- and am regretting it as we speak [21:27] Bitdefender nautilus integration anyone please? [21:27] sneakyimp_: 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] i guess easy. i have changed things already through the terminal i found on line but still not much difference [21:28] preloader made my boot slower than before [21:28] sneakyimp_: 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 unity [21:28] lonewulf: the AV ?, you dont really need it, anyways, google "penguin pills" if you are interested [21:28] bekor: don't shut down [21:29] 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] well i guess that is one way [21:29] sneakyimp_: 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] bekor: or don't install anything :) [21:30] just thought i would check to see if anyone has had similar issues and had advice thanks anyway [21:30] 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] sneakyimp_: 12.04 is not LTS, Long Term Support versions are released every 2 years, the next one would be 14.04 [21:30] sneakyimp_: *sorry, mean to say 12.10 is not LTS, 12.04 is of course [21:31] seems like you use to find more help on these channels now it seems like to many smart asses [21:31] kunji: you mean 12.10 is not LTS? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [21:31] bekor: sorry, umm, preloading would be expected to make things slower, because it is loaded at boot time. [21:31] kunji: oops...typed too slow [21:33] sneakyimp_, 12.10 is not lts. 8.04, 10.04, and 12.04 are. 14.04 will be the next. [21:33] hi [21:34] Can somebody please check my python-sqlite code and tell me why it's returning error: "incorrect number of bindings supplied" http://pastebin.com/ium0Py8T [21:34] bekor: I was asking because I don't know an easy way to make it faster. My guess is that the way to go would be to disable the loading of unneeded modules... which I don't really want to get into. How long of a boot are we talking about? Is it so long that the boot might be doing something unusual or working around some error?

You have to be in a VPN in my network to connect [21:43] no matter you use 32, 64. 128 bits [21:43] futureleader: have your router forward port 21 to your server [21:43] it's haven't some fixes? :( [21:44] Oh... [21:44] jrib: ftp is a firewall/portforwarding nightmare... you probably need more the just 21 [21:44] futureleader: see zykotick9 [21:44] So if you type ftp//:127.0.0.1 ou can connect? [21:44] Help. Im getting an error about device-mapper ioctl resume failed when trying to mount a truecrypt archive [21:44] i think that my flash don't use hardware decoding... but i don't know how push on it [21:44] sorry my english ) [21:45] futureleader: well, no. Someone outside would type the ip to your router. Do you really want an host an ftp server exposed to the world? What do you want to do with it? [21:45] Another Random Question... Any free VPN clients for ubuntu .. aka like HAmachi [21:45] !von [21:45] !vpn | futureleader [21:45] futureleader: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [21:45] Ty [21:45] * jrib adds a tickmark for another Seveas typo. Up to 3 now over the past 7 years [21:45] futureleader, openvpn is the most common one [21:46] jrib: Well ... Share my files? Let people put cool stuff on it? Lol [21:46] jrib, heh. 7 minutes you mean :) [21:46] (and i've been here for over 8 years...) [21:46] hi there, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i am using ipad3. i badly need to transfer movies from my laptop to my ipad. i dont have any other os on this laptop. is there a way to do so? million thanks [21:46] futureleader: well I wouldn't allow anonymous users to put files on there, you'll likely end up hosting illegal content at some point [21:47] !True [21:47] True [21:47] futureleader, the law of free hosting: you end up with porn. lots of it. [21:47] where can I find out what sort of information is shared about me by adlens? I'm concerned about my privacy [21:48] sneakyimp_, if you are, remove that lens. [21:48] sneakyimp_: I think shuttleworth's blog post speaks about what basically happens [21:48] jrib: he doesn't address what sort of information is shared: "We are not telling Amazon what you are searching for. Your anonymity is preserved because we handle the query on your behalf. Don’t trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already. You trust us not to screw up on your machine with every update. You trust Debian, and you trust a large swathe of the open source... [21:48] ...community. And most importantly, you trust us to address it when, being human, we err." [21:48] jrib: he dodges the question [21:49] sneakyimp_, I read that differently. More like "none of your data gets shared" [21:49] seaveas: caveat emptor [21:49] oh and I don't trust them. I have backups :) [21:49] Yeah, I take that as: they just send the search terms to amazon, fetch the results, and then forward them to you [21:49] exit [21:50] sneakyimp_: you can remove all/most inity-lens-... packages [21:50] Guys i need to delete Folder [21:50] rom not working [21:50] rm [21:50] futureleader: rm -r [21:50] TY [21:50] jrib: i don't like the lack of transparency. anything we can do to find out more? i.e., does removing the lens stop the tracking? this sounds obtrusive to me. [21:50] sneakyimp_: what "tracking"? [21:50] jrib: exactly my question [21:50] sneakyimp_: I'm not aware of any tracking [21:50] sneakyimp_, removing the lens stops amazon queries [21:51] so there's nothing to track anymore [21:51] Seveas: OK that sounds reassuring, where is this documented? [21:51] hello o.O [21:51] sneakyimp_: there's also a toggle in the settings that disables all lenses that access the internet iirc [21:52] Any suggestions for an IDE that's similar to Visual Studio? [21:52] sneakyimp_, the code that does the searching gets removed. [21:52] Uhm I got a question, Can i make a Bootable USB for Lubuntu [21:52] "Lubuntu" [21:53] ben1066, yes, visual studio :) No two products are alike so best come up with features you want and select based on that. Eclipse will probably be ok [21:53] !ide [21:53] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [21:53] Can't say I'm a fan of eclipse... [21:53] !kate [21:53] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [21:54] ben1066: yes eclipse leaves a lot to be desired [21:54] !netbeans [21:54] me neither, my IDE is vim. But that's as much like visual studio as a pancake :) [21:54] !geany [21:54] I like pancakes :) but yeah really I'm just looking for something I'll be able to use.... [21:54] r2d2 work man! [21:55] Seveas: thanks for the information. FWIW, I believe Ubuntu should provide transparency in this whole Amazon thing. It smells kinda fishy. [21:55] ben1066, try some of the things from that list then. I'd go for kate or geany [21:55] Shaun_ , sure, use unetbootin or the usb-creator tool [21:55] Hey I'm struggling to setup a username + password for user on my FTP server http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/ [21:55] sneakyimp_, can't say I disagree [21:56] I am trying to setup a firewall using fwbuilder. 4 computers are connected to a router, that is connected to the internet. I need to find out the IP of the router from my computer... how do i do this? [21:56] futureleader, you've spent maybe five minutes on it. Be a bit more persistent :) [21:56] Seveas: cheers! have a good wekend. [21:56] Lol ok [21:56] likewise! [21:56] Help. Im getting an error about device-mapper ioctl resume failed when trying to mount a truecrypt archive [21:56] hi there, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i am using ipad3. i badly need to transfer movies from my laptop to my ipad. i dont have any other os on this laptop. is there a way to do so? million thanks [21:57] yeehi: icanhazip.com [21:57] yeehi, route -n | awk '/UG/{print $2}' [21:57] oh, maybe you meant that. [21:57] yeehi, or if you mean the external ip: http://ip.seveas.net [21:57] thanks jrib Seveas - let me tyr those things... [21:57] no, i found the external ip [21:57] hi i have a phenom II x 4 p [21:57] yeehi, arp -a [21:58] cloudy, that'll show you all neighbours, not just the router. route -n | grep UG will give you the gateway you use [22:00] Seveas, you are right. Thank you for pointing it out. [22:00] I have a question that i cant find an answer to. How can I run Ubuntu 12 without a monitor? [22:00] mlaan, simple: don't attach a monitor :) [22:01] But it doesnt boot the gui. I'd like to run it as a server with a gui that I can VNC into [22:01] you can set up an account to autologin and rely on vnc's authentication for protection [22:02] but servers shouldn't have guis, that's blasphemy ;) [22:02] i know i know its crazy talk but i was hoping it was possible [22:02] it is, I just gave you some hints [22:03] though I've never tried it [22:03] you can also use nx instead of vnc, that doesn't require an autologin [22:03] !nx [22:03] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [22:03] mlaan, you could do an ssh with x forward and then use the local x server for the remote desktop. [22:03] okay thank you [22:03] nice I'll try that [22:03] thanks guys === tamaros|away is now known as tamaros [22:13] I could use some help configuring /etc/network/interfaces with one additional IP address, and make it work :D [22:13] Anyone else having problems with vidalia in Ubuntu 12.10 ? [22:14] "No protocol specified [22:14] vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [22:14] " [22:15] Jake--, /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz has a nice example starting at line 43 [22:16] <_DanN_> Emery: I have no idea what videlia is but this seems like a generic problem to connect to X [22:16] hello 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] anyone know a product that works like unetbootin, and works in OS X? [22:16] _DanN_, It's a Tor component [22:17] <_DanN_> Emery: are you trying to run this app as different user than the one which started X ? [22:17] any help much appreciated [22:17] no, i'm trying to run it under sudo [22:17] Adie, unetbootin should wotk under osx [22:17] otherwise i get permission errors [22:17] Seveas: it doesn't [22:17] Emery, use gksudo for gui apps [22:17] <_DanN_> Emery: does this app need to have root permission ? [22:18] it never worked for me in lion a year ago, and it doesn't work for me in mountain lion today [22:18] Adie, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ says it does. If it doesn't for you, please report that bug to the unetbootin developers [22:18] _DanN_ as I said it gives permission errors without [22:18] it's a known issue [22:18] Seveas, I'll give it a go [22:19] Seveas, Nah it's not even working with that at all [22:19] <_DanN_> Emery: understand but why would gui app need root permissions ? tor is a web browser .. [22:19] no it's not [22:19] at all [22:19] Emery, are you actually inside X on a local machine? not ssh'ed to a remote? [22:20] Yep [22:20] <_DanN_> Emery: where is your X server running ? do "ps -ef | grep X" for us [22:20] I'm on the box now [22:20] emery 5501 4942 0 22:20 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto X [22:21] so, X is not running [22:21] <_DanN_> Emery: there is no server running [22:21] How can X not be running [22:21] lol [22:21] <_DanN_> what would you expect [22:21] I'm using X to use xchat [22:21] Emery: are you using the tor bundle that the tor web provides¿ [22:21] no [22:21] <_DanN_> Emery: are you sure you're on the box you're supposed to be ? [22:21] what [22:21] man [22:21] i'm using ubuntu [22:21] i'm using X [22:22] well, it't a lot easier to use the bundle tor Emery [22:22] no thanks.

[22:22] X is running [22:22] Emery: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:23] <_DanN_> Emery: I don't see the proof in the output you've provided [22:23] Bro [22:23] ghostconn: have you tried searching for the drivers in additional drivers or try to compile drivers for the chipset it uses? [22:23] I'm using ubuntu [22:23] DESKTOP [22:23] it has X running. [22:23] !enter | Emery [22:23] Emery: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:24] hi friends any solidsuggestions for faster boot speed.sometimes i wait three minutes [22:24] bekor use bootchart to see what is going on [22:24] _DanN_, X is running. So back to the problem, what is the problem with Vidalia [22:24] bekor: what compuer speed and what os? lol === d is now known as Guest80569 [22:25] Daxter : I have downloaded the linux driver which comes with a .inf file.. I followed a tutorial on the ubuntu forms page and installed the driver using windows wireless driver and it shows that the hardware is present however under network connection i gte no signals [22:25] can you tell me what bootchart is? [22:25] <_DanN_> Emery: no, your X is not running [22:25] !bootchart [22:25] bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot [22:25] _DanN_, are you retarded ? [22:25] linux driver !== .inf file [22:25] <_DanN_> Emery: do 'pidof X' [22:25] BRO [22:25] <_DanN_> Emery: and stop insulting me please [22:25] I'm using unity [22:25] how can i use unity [22:26] without X ? [22:26] I believe the acceptable term is developmentally delayed [22:26] Hello! and HELP! I have downloaded Ubuntu 12.10.iso but I need to make a "CD" not a "DVD" the target system is an older one. IDEAS? [22:26] Emery: X IS REQUIRED to use Unity [22:26] "retarded" is not the preferred nomenclature [22:26] yes [22:26] otherwise nothign will display on screen [22:26] AND IM USING IT [22:26] exactly [22:26] Emery: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:26] DogOfWar, the iso is too big for a cd+r [22:27] DogOfWar: you could use the minimal install and it will pull nearly all the install material off the internet. [22:27] was i not suspose to install the .inf file? [22:27] Intel® Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz 2gb Ram 7200 RPM hard drive and slow boot 12.04 [22:27] !who [22:27] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:27] 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] ghostconn: you can use the .inf file to install a windows driver, Id try to use a linux driver first though [22:27] DogOfWar, i just did an in OS upgrade from 12.04 through update manager [22:27] wifi adapters are notorious in linux for working or not working [22:27] Daxter, Clearly you know something. What's the problem here ? "vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [22:27] " [22:28] Emery: you should start x [22:28] This I know. Way around? This system is wiped! [22:28] Are you serious [22:28] i don't believe that netgear ever made a linux driver for this device [22:28] that generally means X isn't running [22:28] How can I be using unity [22:28] without X ? [22:28] bekor: 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 Unity [22:28] Emery: you cannot [22:29] exactly [22:29] Emery: you dotn use unity without X as X is the backend for all GUI displays in linux [22:29] so X IS active [22:29] So why are you telling me X isnt active [22:29] Emery: anyways, test it [22:29] <_DanN_> Emery: prove it [22:29] if X was active, vidalia would not give you that error message [22:29] _DanN_, stop answering me please. [22:29] thanks i use gnome classic fine when booted but takes a long time to boot [22:29] PoolShark_, So how am I using xchat ? [22:29] Emery: Where are you trying to run vidalia from? [22:29] Magic ? [22:29] Emery: the evidence says you aren't [22:29] Emery: what the heck is "vidalia" never heardof that application. [22:30] -Emery- VERSION xchat 2.8.8 Ubuntu [22:30] k. [22:30] hoe do i text in red again?it has been awhile [22:30] Emery: have you tried to use the tor buldle provided in the tor web¿ a lot easier [22:30] You can get that error if you are trying to connect another user's X session. [22:30] Pici, My home box [22:30] xangua, I'm not interested in the bundle [22:30] Emery: and you're trying to start vidalia from a shell? or from an icon?: [22:30] sorry for my typing [22:30] If 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 there [22:30] Pici, No i'm on my own box [22:31] Emery: I mean, are you running it from a terminal within an X session? [22:31] Emery: may I suggest you stop being angry - people really try to help - instead provide a little more detail [22:31] is there anything better then compiz for effects? [22:31] PoolShark_, I've tried both, Icon gives me permission errors [22:31] Emery: then there's probably something wrong with permissions [22:31] Pici, Vidalia is a GUI front end [22:31] compiz pretty much is effects [22:31] PoolShark_, I'm aware of that [22:31] Hence "sudo vidalia" [22:31] Emery: so why not fix them and see if the error goes away? [22:31] Is there a way to get a minimal install small enough to fit on a cd so I can get this system started? [22:32] Emery: why are you running it with sudo in first place¿ [22:32] Emery: don't run GUI apps with sudo - use gksudo [22:32] Emery: 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] PoolShark_, Well this was my original question, But apparently I don't have X running [22:32] and 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] Emery: do you want my help? [22:32] is 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 login [22:32] gksudo doesnt work. [22:32] i will thanks daxter [22:32] PoolShark_, Well IF you can help. And not telling me X isnt running. [22:33] ghostconn, remove gdm/ldm/kdm [22:33] Emery: and you neither need gksu for it [22:33] Emery: please cool down [22:33] Emery: are you sure your X server is running on 0.0? [22:33] guntbert, Well we're going round in circles, X must be running to use unity [22:33] Emery: and not 1.0 or 0.1 or sometihng? [22:33] PoolShark_ how would I check that [22:33] Emery, echo $DISPLAY [22:34] ghostconn: replace lightdm with a different display manager. I'm not sure which ones provide text logins. [22:34] <_DanN_> Emery: plese prove that your X is running and we can move on [22:34] Yup 0.0 [22:34] _DanN_: please stop. [22:34] anyone running ubuntu on macbook air, 2012-model? my simple question: are the drivers you get directly from the installation up-to-date? [22:34] Emery: but you have x disabled [22:34] _DanN_, Stop with your input [22:34] please help! iv updated a notebook from 10.10 to 12.04, (passing through 11, only via update manager) but now a bunch of files that were in my gnome desktop are gone! does the update deletes all my desktop files? [22:34] You know nothing _DanN_ so stop answering please. [22:34] thanks everyone :) [22:34] Emery: just ignore them [22:34] dtcrshr, no, I've never heard of an update doing that [22:34] and you positive you're shelled into your local machine [22:34] Pici, I intend to. [22:34] dtcrshr: it shoudnt delte your files. however application shortcuts are a different story.what exactly got delted? [22:34] Relax folks. :) They just tryin to help. [22:34] PoolShark_, I'm sat at my machine now, it's a fresh install [22:35] X is running on 0.0 [22:35] what's this vidalia thing? [22:35] It's a GUI for Tor [22:35] <_DanN_> I'm reallu curious how this thing gets resolved [22:35] Emery: what error do you get if you don't run it with sudo/gksudo/gksu ? [22:35] did you install it with apt-get? [22:35] Emery, can you pastebin the output of strace however_you_start_vidalia [22:35] erming: 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 work [22:35] Pici, I get permission errors [22:35] Emery: Specifically? [22:36] That it needs permission to edit certain files [22:36] which files? [22:36] ghostconn: 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] mindstorm: well, mine works great too.. but i noticed the battery isnt as long-lived as when running osx.. + VLC sometimes spikes when i watch movies [22:36] That's not the error i'm concerned with, the error i am concerned with is "No protocol specified [22:36] vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [22:36] " [22:36] i'm really green on ubuntu, i don't even know how to get drivers.. :D [22:37] erming: search for additional drivers [22:37] if you driver isnt in there... then it opens a new can of worms [22:37] is there any application that can help me with that, or should i search the internet for them? [22:37] humor me please [22:37] DogOfWar, 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 website [22:37] Daxter: yes I have tried using the additional drivers to find it all that shows up is my drivers for my video card [22:38] im trying my best to find what chipset the wpn111 uses [22:38] darn.. sometimes wifi shows up in there [22:38] PoolShark_, Do you know anything about the error i'm interested in ? [22:38] not an easy tak lol [22:38] task* [22:38] yah its not fun [22:38] Emery: no, I guess I don't. I'll leave you alone now [22:38] PoolShark_, fun eh, if they don't actually want to be helped? :) [22:38] <_DanN_> exactly ;) [22:38] Seveas: I really don't give a shit to be honest with you [22:38] had wifi problems (And driver searching) with 10.04 and a realtek chipset [22:39] not fun [22:39] PoolShark_, !language [22:39] Seveas: I don't care for how long they beat their heads into the wall [22:39] Seveas, When who doesn't want to be helped ? [22:39] !language | PoolShark_ [22:39] PoolShark_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:40] yeah yeah I get it.. sheesh. I don't need 8 different bosses giving me hard time when I make a mistake [22:40] Emery, well you. YOu're very agressive towards anyone attempting to help and refuse to provide details needed to help you. This makes it hard for us to actually provide help or even be motivited to try to do so. [22:41] Seveas, How are they helping when ones telling me X ISNT running ? Well do you know cause you're grilling other people and I didn't see you answer atleast PoolShark_ had a go. [22:41] Remember that we're all volunteers here, no one has to help you and your attitude sure doesn't help paying for the free support. [22:41] oh I see what's going on [22:41] Emery: someone metioned a while back echo $DISPLAY [22:41] Emery, I can't begin to help without more information. Which I've asked you to provide but so far you haven't done so. [22:41] see what server you are running on and f it matches 0:0 [22:41] Emery, You should simply download Vidalia as part of a Tor software bundle. Users should be using Tor Browser Bundle, not installing Vidalia themselves. >> https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en [22:42] otherwise we dont know where to start helping you [22:42] Seveas, What is this lack of information I've provided ? [22:42] is tor even be supposed to be supported here¿ [22:42] Emery: are you going to answer my question about how you installed vidalia? [22:42] OerHeks, I'm using Vidalia. [22:42] read the scrollback. Or don't, as I'm not even going to attempt to help you anymore :) [22:42] Emery: I asked you quite a while ago [22:42] PoolShark_, The only way you can install vidalia. [22:43] which is? [22:43] move on [22:43] my goodness [22:43] what an answer [22:43] hah [22:43] How is there attitude ? [22:43] When you fucking retards can't decide on the colour of orange juice ? [22:43] Emery: just answer my question. What method did you use to install vidalia? [22:43] oh well [22:43] Emery: I suggest you change your tone now or I will be forced to ban you and you can seek support elsewhere [22:43] I tried [22:44] finally hes gone [22:44] geez [22:44] soem people are unpleaseable [22:44] in the tor irc for example [22:44] so, now that there's peace and quiet again... who actually needs support? [22:44] Daxter: http://pastebin.com/Sb2XDryQ dose this explaine anything [22:44] i would suppose tor is not supposed to be supported here, am i right¿ [22:45] xangua, well... if you're running ubuntu, why shouldn't we at least attempt to help? [22:45] xangua, not sure, but even the tor page suggest to use the tor package, as you suggested. [22:45] whats the name of that prograsm that lets you brose youtube from the desktop? [22:45] program* lol [22:45] FlyingElvis, firefox? :) [22:45] brose* lol holy heck my typing sucks [22:45] that looks ok i guess ghostconn, idk havent used nidswrapper (havent had to) ever since 9.04 [22:45] FlyingElvis: there are lots of them [22:45] can someone explain to me how to switch between Unity 3d and 2d? [22:45] ya it isnt a web browser [22:45] FlyingElvis, minitube maybe? [22:46] Mattsyco: its a login option [22:46] i think thats it Seveas [22:46] choose what shell you want when entering your password when loggin in [22:46] daxter [22:46] FlyingElvis, tip: apt-cache search youtube :) [22:46] dtcrshr: ? [22:46] FlyingElvis, try the youtube lens [22:46] please ask your question [22:46] the folder inside my /home/user/desktop is empty [22:46] FlyingElvis: minitube, umplayer, so does totem with a plugin [22:46] i had a bunch of ods, video files, documents [22:46] mostly that i was working at the time were into the desktop [22:46] okies ill go hunting ty much guys and gals [22:46] is there a log somewhere? [22:47] dtcrshr, did you check your homedir and the trash folder? [22:47] dtcrshr: search for some filenames, see if they still exist [22:47] iv searched in the 3 users i have iside the home folder [22:48] dtcrshr, installing/removing packages from the official repos never touches /home, so an upgrade (which disables 3rd party repos) won't do this [22:48] where is the trash folder? [22:48] go to nautilus, click on trash on the left [22:49] ~/.local/share/Trash, or click on the trash icon in the unity panel or the file browser [22:49] its empty [22:49] ok search in nautilus for some of the file names. also check under differnt users in /home (if any) [22:50] @test [22:50] how do i search recursively? i could do it from the terminal [22:52] dtcrshr, find -name '*.doc' will find any .doc in a folder or its subfolders [22:54] ill do that [22:54] thanks [22:54] ubuntu rocks. over and out :D === sid|ZzZ is now known as sid|1 [22:55] erming: roger dodger [22:57] is there any objective reason to use hexchat in ubuntu instead of xchat? [22:57] DemonWitch: just use irssi ftw [22:57] * Geck00 prefers xchat. [22:57] DemonWitch, hexchat? where can I find that? [22:57] DemonWitch, there are more clients than that, I use Quassel for instance === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [22:57] wyclif, i use irssi for tty, irssi doesnt have ssl though [22:58] Seveas, google enable some ppa [22:58] dont forget bitchx, if that's still around [22:58] Hi, I have a query if anyones able to answer [22:58] chudler: Mr. Rogers uses BitchX, do you? [22:59] chudler, not in debian/ubuntu repos anymore as it's a security risk :) [22:59] !anyone | Sam86 [22:59] Sam86: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. === ubuntu is now known as Guest12465 [22:59] why thanks mr bot. [22:59] I was trying to move a bunch of folders to /apple/cake from apple/cake/pie/x/x/x/x/x/x/x [22:59] however i meant to move them to /apple/cake/pie [22:59] DemonWitch, ah i see, an xchat fork. No need for that [22:59] So now there all in /apple/cake/ So basically I want to move ALL files/folders from apple/cake/ to apple/cake/pie/ [23:00] without including the folder pie [23:00] in the command [23:00] Sam86, type out in one line too.. [23:00] Sam86, easy, cd /apple/cake; mv * pie [23:01] mv will complain it can't move pie to itself but happily do the others [23:01] o my god, my files are really gone [23:01] i cant find any of them! how could an update kill my desktop files!!! i see many posts on google now with similar problems, going from gnome to unity [23:01] omg, im screwed [23:01] Seveas complains some directories are not empty, [23:02] Sam86, err, that means it moved some files in those directories but couldn't move others due to permission issues [23:02] http://i.imgur.com/8XRSr.png Directory not empty means permissions? [23:02] dtcrshr, just as a stab in the dark...have you tried booting a live distro and searching the mounts in question? [23:02] Odd, wouldn't it say permissions for that. [23:03] you're going to need to give me some more details, like the output of ls /apple/cake and ls /apple/cake/pie [23:03] ls -la that is [23:03] K, but none of the folders with contents moved. [23:03] no [23:03] However i guess there are only 5 folders I could just manual cp the rest. but I'd rather know a way for future use [23:03] dtcrshr, its worth a try IMO :/ [23:04] iv 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 rts [23:04] I sent the ls -la via pm Seveas [23:04] didnt used much, was goint to start working now [23:04] Sam86, no pm received [23:04] Ugh stupid web client, I've no irc properly on this pc [23:04] 1 sec [23:04] ill give a shot. but i have no no "desktop" folder inside my /home, not even with a different language as told in some posts [23:04] dtcrshr: you updated 3 times? 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04? [23:04] Sam86, mail to seveas@seveas.net works too :) [23:05] Ah there we go [23:06] yes [23:06] took 3 hours [23:06] Daxter, thanks for the help, didn't realize Unity 2d wasn't installed by default with 12.10 [23:07] Mattsyco: not only not installed.. but dosent exist in 12.10 ;) [23:07] dtcrshr, 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 again [23:07] dtcrshr: did you have encrypted homes by any chance? [23:08] yeah, I ended up grabbing the gnome GUI dr_willis [23:08] jrib no [23:08] my user didnt even asked for password on login [23:08] dtcrshr, it still had one fyi [23:08] dtcrshr: ok well if you're sure you didn't have encrypted homes setup, I won't go down that road [23:09] I enjoy how Unity looks, but it is such a resource hog that my games are slowing to a crawl [23:10] dtcrshr: did you have a separate partition for your home? === Magiobiwan is now known as MagiAway [23:12] jrib, ooh, inspired thought. dtcrshr if you don't know, run these commands and pastebin the output: sudo fdisk -l; mount [23:12] dtcrshr: 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] ill try === viktor is now known as Guest37737 [23:15] hi [23:16] Have you heard about the new ubuntu [23:16] dknz2008: nope, what's ubuntu? [23:16] Oh, its a type of porn [23:16] dknz2008: heh, ok well keep in mind this channel is for support with the operating system [23:16] not to mention family-friendly :) [23:16] Oh, i see. === tamaros is now known as tamaros|away [23:18] Does anyone actually say anything on this or do they all just sit dormant waiting? [23:18] * dknz2008 slaps Emmanuel_Chanel around a bit with a large trout [23:18] dknz2008: you've managed to join for the 5 minutes that #ubuntu is pretty quiet [23:18] I'm amazed at this, too. [23:19] oh, i see. [23:19] It's usually extremely busy. [23:19] What do people usually talk about? [23:19] Ubuntu stuff. [23:19] Support. [23:19] ? [23:19] Exclusively. [23:19] lol [23:19] dknz2008: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:24] walterwoj: windows boot loader doesn't play nice with linux, so no. [23:25] Even if I use a program like EasyBCD to make it play nice? [23:25] I don't know. [23:25] ok, thanks [23:26] Jordan_U: pastebin.com exceeded 500kb of the commands yout old me. is there any bigger paster?

[23:27] dauntless: just don't get a openvz/virtuozzo/vserver, and there will likely be little "mischief" [23:27] dauntless: real VMs, not containers [23:28] ok [23:28] sounds good [23:28] any companies you've had success with? [23:29] i used a couple and had issues with setting up a VPN, they were resolved but it was a pain [23:29] dauntless: Try and check out Linode; I've had good experience with them. Their support is amazing, too; may want to e-mail them and ask in advance. [23:30] ok, thanks very much [23:30] dauntless: I also use linode, never had to contact support though [23:30] but my VPS is debian, not ubuntu [23:30] i did once. i had a reply 5 minutes later on a sunday afternoon. [23:30] well, that sounds nice ;) [23:31] Can someone help me print something to a varible file in bash please? [23:32] matada, can you be more specific? [23:32] I'm writing a menu system in bash, and I want to log the output to a file [23:32] can anyonetell if is possible to get a diff from the last changes made in launchpat for a certain project ? [23:32] simplew: Try #launchpad if you get nothing meaningful in here. [23:32] matada, that's not more specific but an entirely different question ;) [23:32] lol. [23:33] matada, you mean somthing like this? echo "Hello world" > $filename [23:33] simplew for what project? [23:33] dose anyone know of a good system equalizer for ubuntu 12.04? [23:34] graphical would be good [23:34] http://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 $device [23:35] erm not varible folder, varible file [23:35] matada: ##linux is the place for that type of question [23:35] ok thanks [23:35] almoxarife: matada: no, #bash [23:35] almoxarife, matada: not reall, #bash (or ##bash, I forgot) is more appropriate [23:36] Seveas: if it's ##bash, we both know #bash would forward to it. ;) [23:36] Seveas: alrighty then [23:36] lhavelund, I lost track of freenode politics :) [23:36] too many channels LOL [23:36] Seveas: yeah... [23:37] matada, but I'm afraid I still don't quite understand what you want. Could you write it in the script in pseudocode? [23:37] (it's quiet here, so I don't mind helping) === MagiAway is now known as Magiobiwan [23:38] i'm about to install ubuntu on my 13" retina macbook pro [23:38] matada, I do spot 2 bugs in the first four lines though. You may want to start by reading abs [23:38] !abs [23:38] if i choose "Replace Mac OS X with Ubuntu" [23:38] Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [23:38] will it delete the recovery partition too? [23:38] walter: Possibly. [23:39] walter, likely. That option makes it want to use the entire disk as it sees fit [23:39] There isn't a Side-Along install option, is there? [23:39] !mac | walter also look here [23:39] walter also look here: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [23:39] there should be? there is on windows [23:39] silly [23:39] Magiobiwan, I read that as sing-along option. That would be awesome :D [23:39] i don't see one, but i can manually choose the partitions [23:39] Not really, Seveas [23:39] You don't want to hear me sing [23:40] OerHeks: im on it, anyway thanks [23:41] When i write " sudo aptitude install nmap " in terminal i get this message " sudo: aptitude: command not found " anybody who can help out? [23:41] Guest23412, sudo apt-get install nmap [23:41] Guest23412 use apt-get, not aptitude [23:41] Guest23412, aptitude is depreciated, use apt-get [23:41] or if you really want to use aptitude: sudo apt-get install aptitude :-) [23:42] aah ok [23:42] thanks! [23:43] I wonder. Has anyone asked "What's a Linux?" in here before? [23:43] Magiobiwan, yes. Usually trolling, but occasionaly an innocent passer-by [23:45] Seveas: aptitude doesn't support multiarch. see "/msg ubottu aptitude" for details. [23:45] zykotick9, ah good to know. Though I don't use multiarch myself === Magiobiwan is now known as MagiAway [23:46] what is the best solution everyone has found for google drive with ubuntu so far? wine? InSync thingy? [23:47] nostrum_: how about insync? [23:49] nostrum_: the best/safest solution would be the web page, my opinion [23:49] kind of far fetch but.... is there such software to run a spectrum analyzer visual effect as you're desktop background? always thought that would be absolutely amazing and this would be the place to find out lol.... any thoughts === james is now known as Guest20998 [23:50] ghostconn: there is faked ones [23:50] im into allot of house and trance just thought it would be cool [23:50] zykotick9, Seveas: aptitude in 12.10 should be ok with multi-arch. According to the changelog anyway [23:50] what do you mean faked ones? [23:50] ghostconn, sure just run it on the root window [23:50] nostrum_, try insync >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/insync-brings-google-drive-to-ubuntu [23:51] ghostconn, I think mplayer running in the root window should be able to do this [23:51] ghostconn, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-162897.html [23:51] ghostconn: i mean that its not really analyzing anything, just a gif [23:51] f [23:53] live background is sort of old, i used to run syslog errors as a background [23:54] almoxarife, thats a great idea... when everything goes to **** and your logs start flying past you migraine kicks in to give you an extra warning sign [23:55] thanks guys this might put me on the right track... im really looking for a fully working spectrum analyzer im not worried about the cpu power or ram lol im running two i7 980's with 32bg 2000oc [23:56] escott: i had to turn it off, i hated the reality of how broke i was real time, i figured it would work itself out or really make itself know, them errors i mean [23:57] Using Ubuntu 12.10 and wondering what is the best driver to install for my ATI 7850 as everything is really laggy. [23:58] I'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] !upstart | blazemore [23:58] blazemore: 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] blazemore, good old initscript still work like they did last century. [23:59] upstart is nice but ubuntu-specific, so if you want to be distro agnostic, either stick to initscripts, or do initscripts, upstart and systemd [23:59] blazemore: the upstart cookbook is pretty good. And yes, you could just write the old-style scripts if you prefer [23:59] Seveas: 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?
