[00:00] I personally don't know when it comes to linux. If i had the same problem i'd be able to guide you through. I'll keep searching for a solution though [00:00] is it possible to have someone log onto my computer and check out the settings or something? [00:00] so quick question, with the amd catalyst driver 12.10 my graphics card is always on in integrated mode (power saving) even when playing games, stressing the hardware, --px-dpgu doesnt change it, performance is terrible [00:00] na ja [00:01] AzureX i have the same problem on my laptop. It's terrible. I just installed Gnome 3 [00:01] i had it working earlier but cant remember how i fixed it [00:02] probably some settings in the catalyst control panel. I was personally too lazy and missed the old gnome interface [00:03] attempts to load the driver manually [00:03] good night [00:04] so I've just installed 12.10 and nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates do not work at all. They were working on my previous install of 12.04. The only thing different is that I install an SSD hard drive and the latest Ubuntu release. What can I try to fix this? === wolfmitchelll is now known as wolfmitchell [00:16] is there anywhere I can find a list of recent ubuntu updates ? [00:20] hi [00:20] hi [00:21] is there a way to change emesene so that it doesn't show me as invisible at startup? [00:26] How can I change the theme or modify it in Gnome Classic? [00:33] gnome-look.org has some amazing themes in her bag [00:35] but _how_ do I change it [00:35] nothing seems to have any effect [00:37] having permissions problems with ubuntu server, trying to get /var/www to let me create files...or atleast move them to that dir but it's not letting me [00:37] If you use Ubuntu 12.04 install gnome-panel [00:37] bluefox83, are you familiar with linux permissions? [00:38] bluefox83, have you tried it with sudo mv? [00:38] blackshirt: yeah, but i'm kinda crummy at using them... [00:38] cloudy: if i need sudo...then it kind of defeats the purpose... [00:38] i'm trying to set it up so i can put files there with my ftp program [00:39] gksudo is good [00:40] soooooo.... [00:40] Is it possible to do a minimal install from the standard desktop cd? [00:40] I have 2 printers installed. One USB and one networked. The USB printer is off but still plugged in and constantly shows as the default despite me changing it in the printer appelate and at http://localhost:631. How do I eliminate the USB from showing as the default printer? [00:40] Hi, I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I'm running it on a mac. I'm trying to change the keyboard settings, and am being directed by this guide:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard However, I don't have permissions to edit fnmode in sys/module/hid_apple/parameters. I am logged into a user the is in sudoers, but I don't know how to get permissions. do I have to log as root to edit this? [00:41] !sudo | jrogge [00:41] jrogge: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo === Harry is now known as Guest6334 [00:41] jrogge: whatever the command is preface it with sudo.. so to edit a file = sudo /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters [00:42] okay, so I have to do this through terminal. I was trying to do it through the ubunut file manager (ubuntu explorer? what ever the default is) [00:42] jrogge: however are you running ubuntu in a VM? or have you replaced the iOS on your MAC? [00:43] I have it as a seperate partition on my mac [00:43] bluefox83, do you know how to check the owner of /var/www ? [00:43] jrogge: you can do it through the file manager but you have to start it from terminal.. gksudo nautilus [00:44] or!! ALT + F2 > gksudo nautilus and yeah =) [00:44] jrogge: actually.. from terminal it's sudo nano /path/to/file [00:44] bluefox83, add your ftp user to www-data group, and give them appropriate access [00:45] blackshirt: i actually did that already... [00:46] Rizon: I forgot about alt+f2.. thought that was only on kde systems (what I run ;) ) [00:46] btw how to i check to see what the ftp user is, it should be my username right? [00:46] What is the general channel? [00:46] *do [00:47] thank you, that worked === len is now known as Guest18655 [00:48] Can I ask for assistance regarding installation of MATLAB here?

[00:50] bluefox83: sure.. wanna code it yourself? or use something like Joomla? [00:50] scared: either you hit the mirror at a bad time (in the middle of an update) or it is a bad mirror, try again in a few minutes [00:50] Scunizi: i'm pretty sure i got it up an running already (apache2) but the directory isn't letting me add things properly... [00:51] and i have no idea why :/ [00:51] how do i add a user to group www-data? [00:52] bluefox83, are you upload it with ftp client ? [00:52] <_DanN_> adduser www-data [00:52] <_DanN_> bluefox83: adduser www-data [00:52] blackshirt: yeah i can actually move it to another directory...just not the website dir [00:52] <_DanN_> bluefox83: you must be root [00:53] bluefox83: in what way? [00:53] I just did a clean install of 12.04LTS. Now I cannot install DeVeDe. it says the version of libavcodec-extra-53 should be 4.0.8.4. the most recent version is 4.0.8.3, according to sourceforge. How do I either get the real latest version, or force Ubuntu not to uninstall half my programs when I switch form libavcodec53 to libavcocec-extra-53? [00:53] bluefox83, actually, i mean moving it with mv command or with ftp to upload your files to that dir ? [00:54] well i have a dir in my home dir called ftp i can ftp to it, drop the files in there, and everything is fine...i just can't move the files to /var/www [00:54] bluefox83, commonly sudo was enought to tackle them [00:54] bluefox83: to add a user to anther group.. go to that group in "settings" and do it there. You'll see the users listed and put a tic mark next to the one you want. [00:54] Basil1x: what says? What did you execute *exactly*? [00:54] Scunizi: i'm working on a server, not desktop >.> [00:55] bluefox83: ah.. sorry.. forgot . hang on.

[00:56] unless i use sudo, which is rediculous [00:56] how do i change the mirror [00:57] scared: go to software center->edit->software sources [00:57] jrib: the Software Center will not allow me to install the software I had on my system up until yesterday when my HDD died. it uninstalls half my programs when I try to install DeVeDe. the reason is the version of libavcodec-extra-53 in the repository is too low. There is no higher version I can find. [00:57] i removed some libs belongs to ffmpeg while installing MobileMediaConverter after adding medibuntu repo due to package break. how to get ffmpeg back?

[01:17] Basil1x: would take some more investigating to figure out the exact issue. I don't have time right now. If no one else can help at the moment, just accept and then try to re-install the things you want (like vlc) to see if you can gain some further knowledge. You'll probably have to check out conflicts and such (apt-cache show). It could be because of medibuntu, if you want to disable that and downgrade [01:17] whatever packages you have from there. [01:18] Hi, when does a process step into sleep state? [01:18] because in ubuntu, it gets overriden [01:19] dijonyummy: because of networkmanager?

[02:22] Greetings, I am running pinguyos (which I'm pretty sure is ubuntu 12.04) I run it t work where I have limited internet access (certain firewall rules block certain traffic) When I try to upgrade I get the broken header error which I'm told is caused by repo's getting blocked then my upgrade fails. My question is...Is there a way to get the upgrade files from another PC and then run it on my work PC? [02:22] 12.10 can't even run smoothly in a vm [02:23] this is a disaster [02:24] frank: pinguy its own support rooms/channels. . You can upgrade with a 12.10 cd/dvd BUT from what ive seen in the past you dont upgrade Non-ubuntu variants using the ubuntu media. it can break things badly [02:24] ahhh thank you I appreciate the help. Thats good to know [02:24] frank: of course i really dont see much need for pinguy any more. i played with it in the past. [02:25] but trying to do relase upgrades from pinguy, or other variants can be prone to failure === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [02:26] I like all the desktop pomp and circumstance. I was an Ubuntu UE fan but it seems to be getting sloppy [02:26] UE? [02:26] cbrain: Define smooth. [02:27] ultimate edition [02:27] oh, never heard of it..

[02:31] <_Brett_> frank [02:31] yes [02:31] Question... I am fixing to do an install on a virgin hard drive... The laptops old hard drive and OS was Windows 7 64-bit... I am putting the newest version of Ubuntu on it.. Should I go with the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version? [02:31] <_Brett_> is it a usb stick? [02:31] yes [02:31] Ben64, Yes, that is best, thanks for the advice, but my question remains [02:31] <_Brett_> oh. that sucks [02:31] MrCrumbs: depends if you have a 64 bit processor 64 [02:32] it is a 64 bit... i believe lol... AMB A6 [02:32] AMD* [02:33] <_Brett_> back in the day i had a usb homepna adapter (phoneline networking). could never get it to work on linux [02:33] dr_willis: those were all media players [02:33] MrCrumbs: i tend to always use 64bit os on 64bit hardware. === t0nic is now known as diamonds [02:34] It would be great if I could get it going. Upgrades would be easy then. No damn firewall or webfilter to deal with [02:34] ImTheDude: i use tunapie to listen to shoutcast radio streams all the time.. Im not sure what exactly you are looking for.. use the software center and package manager tools search feature to look for wha tyou want. [02:34] That's what my gut was telling me.. A buddy suggested to use the 32 bit.. I figured I would ask the Ubuntu gods :P [02:34] hi im getting some really funky "artifacts" all over (video), if i push my mouse over certian thing sin ecipse, the ubuntu software center, images / text get jumbled pretty badly (like white noise), but eventually it comes back to normal and does it again. i tried to screenshot it but the screenshot is turning out okay. not sure else how to explain it? [02:34] MrCrumbs: i dont see much reason to stick to 32bit on 64bit hardware these days [02:35] the last plausible reason I saw to stay on 32 bit was flash player [02:35] but that has worked on 64 bit for quite some time now [02:35] with the flash-video replacer and downloader plugns.. ;) i rarely even need flash these days. [02:35] Ben64: eol for almost a year now...use html5 or stop visiting crappy sites [02:35] <_Brett_> frank, have you tried ndiswrapper? [02:35] I know that Linux Mnt 13 didn't work worth a crap on it.. 32 or 64 bit [02:36] night all... [02:37] morning dr_willis [02:37] Does Ubuntu do formats on virgin hard drives? [02:38] infact i even tried arch linux and i was getting the same issue, im wondering if it could be a video driver problem? the initial install everything seemed okay.

[02:50] dont have it installed [02:50] test your audio with mplayer [02:50] or is it just VLC that acts this way? [02:51] rewinding one second fixes sync [02:51] All files or one (1) file? [02:51] different files [02:51] All the same? [02:51] nope [02:52] just audio files? or audio/video files? [02:52] One (1) ok? [02:52] a/v files as far as I know, dont know how only audio files would lose sync [02:53] does youtube act up in this manor? [02:53] nope [02:53] sounds like VLC is to blame, try mplayer, or update VLC from source if its old. [02:53] well maybe if I played something long wnough [02:53] explain. [02:54] well most of sync issue happens after about 12 -20 mins [02:54] wew,maap,ada perlu [02:55] most utube videos are only 9 mins long [02:55] oh... [02:55] test mplayer and see if it does this, does it do this when you seek forward 15+ mins? [02:56] never tried just was looking for an answer to fix since I assumed lots of ppl here use vlc [02:57] I use mplayer.. :P [02:57] google doesnt seems to have any relevant answers [02:57] VLC has always had issues for me..its never worked right for me.

It might have cause the ubuntu parition along with grub files to get hidden or removed? [05:03] do you know the code to dl it aeon-ltd [05:03] Is it as good as photoshop? [05:03] Tobias1983: search for it in the software center [05:04] Tobias1983: sudo apt-get install gimp === christopher is now known as Guest43223 [05:04] my software center isnt working currently its errorining out [05:04] what error [05:04] Tobias1983: it's UI is different, but i'd say yeah it's pretty good. [05:04] E: Package 'gimp' has no installation candidate [05:05] Sweet i been using photoshop for like 6 years will be interesting to use something different. [05:05] sabot, either that recover manager removed my ubuntu parition / with /home even thought I cancelled it and restarted the computer. Because i did nothing else to have cause the ubuntu parition and /home paritions (both ext4) to have been removed. === djohnson is now known as nolpek [05:06] hey how do i open this into a document? /etc/apt/sources.list [05:06] noob === me is now known as Linda [05:06] sabot, what do you suggesT?

[05:07] Tobias1983: it seems you are having a lot of problems with things, you should work on fixing them first [05:07] sabot_: don't say that kind of stuff here [05:07] thanks i always have issues with fixing gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list is there somehting that i coul read to help me understand this better?

[05:13] but I listened that before running 32bit I will install some special libs [05:13] no?) [05:13] Tobias1983: ok then you need to replace your sources.list with a non-broken one [05:13] blackness, sobat, I am going to go ahead and recover the lost ext4 paritions with testdisk. [05:13] Yakut: they will install when needed by the 32bit app, automatic [05:14] ok [05:14] wow really [05:14] how do i o that? [05:14] how do i do that* [05:14] uhm..moment.

[05:15] there you go Tobias1983 build your own, or let package-manager do it for you. [05:15] thanks ben64 [05:16] Tobias1983: simplest way to look at your sources.list is to 'sort' it, then look at the mess [05:16] easier to just replace it all [05:16] he needs a new one. [05:16] his is thrashed. [05:16] wishart, you can use the info command in apt-get http://askubuntu.com/questions/133456/can-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-ubuntu-software-center [05:17] WishArt: scroll down, the version is there [05:17] wishart, not listed in that link but tells you the packagename for the ubuntu software cetner [05:17] Oh I missed it, sorry & tyvm hhhzzzarn [05:18] wishart, I thought you wanted to know the application version for the ubuntu software center itself? or the application available through the software center? [05:18] so is it better if i just copy ben64 sourclist or generate my own? [05:18] how do you enable 'water effect' on ubuntu 12.10? === themill_ is now known as themill [05:18] The application :) For example GIMP version that available on software center. [05:18] Tobias1983, i always generate my own.. [05:19] then again, if you use his, you use the repos he's enabled aswell. [05:19] i just click all the apps i have on my comp? and then i generated it [05:19] WishArt: scroll down, the version is there [05:19] I copy what it made into my sourcelist and save? [05:19] wishart, oh, go to application like gimp, scrolls down to the information section, it is written there. [05:19] Building your own gives you complete control over that via web-gui etc. [05:19] yes [05:19] wishart, just above the comments. [05:19] silverlight doesn't work on ubuntu does it? [05:19] I mean it doesnt look like the sourcelist i have though [05:19] blackness: not with drm [05:20] drm? [05:20] yeah, drm [05:20] what is drm? [05:20] wishart did you find it?

[06:04] there are 1,584 people in here, the support here is for ubuntu only, because anything more could get crazy in here [06:04] blackness, cp can be based off of bash, sh, or busybox. [06:04] or any other shell.

That's why I'm studying to be a teacher [06:10] well, next year will be teacher's college [06:10] ubuntu [06:10] Seven_Six_Two, thats enough [06:11] hi. i was just given access to a server in my school. it serves web files in "server.com/~studentnumber". where studentnumber is the name of my home directory. i want to change that after the ~ to a more pleasing name of my choosing. help [06:11] Jodorowsky, that will be your home directory, and you might not have permissions to move it. Are you admin on the server? [06:12] Seven_Six_Two, i'm not [06:12] :\ [06:12] Jodorowsky, that is more of a setting in your webserver software, apache handles it one way and lighttpd handles it differently, which one are you running? [06:12] Jodorowsky, register for a domain name and point a cname record at it [06:13] Heya hiya. [06:14] Jodorowsky, I believe you can sign up for a free one at dot.tk [06:15] RiXtEr, tried ps -e | greping for both and had no luck [06:15] Seven_Six_Two, thx [06:15] Jodorowsky, cname may be what you are after then, if you don't have root, not much you can change anyway [06:15] Jodorowsky, netstat -anp | grep 80 may be helpful though. [06:16] * RiXtEr really goes to bed this time. [06:16] Jodorowsky, if you're tight with the admin, ask for an alias [06:17] Seven_Six_Two, isn't it possible to set an alias like this example ? > http://www.patrickjwaters.com/blog/2011-09-03/aliasing-remote-servers-and-setting-passwordless-authorization-speedy-workflow-ubunt [06:18] Seven_Six_Two, the home directory is actually a bunch of links. so he just names the link whatever he wants and real home dir is someplace else [06:18] oh, hosts can work, but I don't think it will work without a name-entry if it's name based hosting [06:18] and it will only work on that one computer [06:19] Jodorowsky, I don't think you would have access to that link. [06:19] Jodorowsky, that's how I serve. my web root is in my user's home, but I can't rename the link that the server uses without admin [06:21] OerHeks, if you're aliasing that way, the server has to know to respond to that domain, or be set up with a default config that will respond for any domain (*:80) [06:31] Does anyone know if you can upgrade to LibreOffice 3.6.3 through the terminal?

[06:41] brandinhess: assume you do and 'sudo apt-get remove libreoffice' [06:42] Ok...stand by. [06:42] almoxarife, they need a lil more then that ;) [06:42] they? [06:42] It didn't work [06:42] yeah..libreoffice is more then that. [06:43] brandinhess, are you removing OpenOffice? or updating it? [06:43] blackness: 'libreoffice' [06:43] isnt that part of openoffice? [06:43] I am trying to update my Libreoffice to 3.6.3, and it won't let me. [06:43] no [06:43] moment please. [06:43] blackness, not any more [06:43] blackness, "libreoffice" is a metapackage [06:43] OerHeks: :) [06:44] what version is brandinhess using? [06:44] ubuntu version* [06:44] brandinhess: so it is not installed via apt/dpkg/synaptic [06:44] no [06:45] brandinhess: wanna share how you may have installed previously? [06:45] Simple....via the terminal. [06:46] brandinhess, try " apt-cache search libreoffice " [06:46] simple like what? an installer script from ????? brandinhess [06:47] almoxarife: Simple....meaning add PPA, and run sudo apt-get install libreoffice. Can't do that now without getting an older version. [06:47] sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep office [06:48] brandinhess, are we using the libreoffice ppas? [06:48] Yes [06:48] ah, you installed LibreOffice, added a ppa, and now you cannot see the installed one? [06:48] and they don't seem to work like they used to. [06:48] hehe.. brandinhess have you read this: http://www.iloveubuntu.net/libreoffice-36-landed-its-official-ppa-ubuntu-1204 [06:49] i cant get the ppa to add [06:51] I have already gone through all of the hassle of adding the most current PPA, and it would prompt me to install version 3.6.0 [06:53] holy crap, i had libreoffice installed all along :x [06:53] brandinhess, did you download the 170mb installer? [06:53] Yes [06:53] what version do you want of libreoffice? [06:53] brandinhess, what was the error when you tried to install it? === branant_ is now known as branant [06:54] 3.6.3....already downloaded and installed. It shows that I am running 3.6.2. Tried to update it, and then it prompts me to reinstall, only to see that it is 3.6.0. [06:54] remove all ppa's/ [06:54] did it install over the older files? [06:54] Yes [06:55] im going to build and install it myself..to see if i can mimic your errors. [06:55] brandinhess, what does which libreoffice return? [06:55] use locate.. [06:55] brandinhess, did you use sudo when you installed? did you install to /usr/local/bin or to /opt [06:56] Seven_Six_Two, check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132837/how-do-i-install-the-latest-stable-version-of-libreoffice/182602#182602 [06:56] Seven_Six_Two: When I check the version of Libreoffice, it currently shows 3.6.2. It asks me to update to 3.6.3 by downloading the 170MB tarball from LibreOffice web site. I downloaded it, extracted it, installed it. I check the version and it still shows me 3.6.2. [06:56] that guide even warrents problems if you dont remove the older version before installing the newer [06:57] how did you install it? [06:57] Via terminal [06:57] using what commands? [06:57] Hold on... [06:57] and what ubuntu version are you on? [06:58] is there any software like nokias pc suit for ubuntu 12.04 [06:59] blackness: sudo dpkg -i *.deb, cd desktop-integration, and sudo dpkg -i *.deb. I am running two distros: Ubuntu 12.10 and Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon. Both having the same problem. [06:59] i dont have .deb files for my install.. [06:59] i have a crapload of .rpms [06:59] brandinhess, can you try to run with explicit paths. like /usr/local/bin/libreoffice [07:00] brandinhess, or /opt/bin/libreoffice [07:00] Of course [07:00] juniour, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Nokia [07:00] maybe you'll find it's in two locations [07:00] Already looked, and it isn't. [07:01] http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.6.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.6.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz is this what you downloaded brandinhess ? [07:01] you didn't uninstall your previous version, right? [07:02] I uninstalled it more times than I can count at the moment....still no positive results. [07:02] And reinstalled it too. [07:02] does it come back everytime you remove it? [07:02] nope [07:02] did you purge? [07:02] that's good. that would be spooky [07:03] BTW, that is where I downloaded my 3.6.3 from....that is the exact link I used. [07:03] ok..im downloading that now [07:03] im going to install it over my current version of 3.5.0 i think is what i got [07:03] when I use chkconfig, I saw many warning messages. if chkconfig is deprecated, how can I make service on or off at boot time? update-rc.d? update-rc.d syntax is just too hard to be understood. thanks. [07:04] so let me get this straight. you uninstalled the repo version, and it successfully removed. then you downloaded 3.6.3 and when you install it, it claims to be 3.2.0? [07:04] installing. [07:04] whats the best flash player right now. [07:04] west: whats in flash-installer :P [07:04] sgo11, "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults" will add apache2 to startup in levels 235 [07:04] No, it claims to be 3.6.2, and it gives me the option to update by downloading the file that is referred above, and it still returns the result of being version 3.6.2. [07:05] let me install mine..and lets see if mine does it [07:05] ok === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [07:05] to remove apache2 use "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove" [07:05] n3rV3, thanks for replying. what is run level 3 and 5? I think I am currently using 2. and how to turn off a service? thanks. [07:05] how are you loading libreoffice brandinhess ? [07:06] n3rV3, just read your reply about remove. thanks. [07:06] Both through the GUI and terminal. [07:06] sgo11, it wont stop the service, the service will be removed from startup [07:06] brandinhess, i installed libreoffice3.6.2.2 and i downloaded that file. [07:06] the one i posted above.. [07:07] black@blackness:~/Downloads/LibO_3.6.3.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS$ libreoffice --version [07:07] LibreOffice 3.6 [07:07] Blackness, what do you mean? how do i check? [07:07] to stop the service on a running server use: "service apache2 stop" or "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop" [07:07] west: are you having problems with flash? [07:07] add sudo before above commands [07:07] blackness: Yes, but I downloaded the tarball for 3.6.3 and it shows that I have 3.6.2 installed. [07:07] i did too. [07:07] n3rV3, thanks. I understood that part. what is runlevel 3 and 5? I used to using opensuse. that is different from ubuntu. so I am confused. thanks. [07:07] look at my directory from my post [07:07] LibO_3.6.3.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US [07:08] OpenSorce, its opensource [07:08] does anyone have bumblebee working in 12.10 ? [07:08] and mine reports 3.6.2-2 [07:08] bulletrulz, I've had this nick since '97. I doubt it's a typo... [07:08] * brandinhess needs a case of beer [07:09] blackness, i didn't install adobe flash player and gnash seems to not work on firefox in youtube.com [07:09] 1997 or 1897 OpenSorce? [07:09] bulletrulz, it's rules not rulz [07:09] !runlevel [07:09] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [07:09] brandinhess, you cant fix what they released..they labeled the 3.6.2 as 3.6.3.. [07:09] OpenSorce, BEEN BULLETRULZ since 1503 [07:09] bulletrulz, we're off-topic let's knock it off now [07:10] mm [07:10] kk [07:10] blackness: OK....let's forget about that for a moment. Why doesn't the software center show that 3.6.3 is available? [07:10] because its not..in tarball or a repo. [07:11] Is it supposed to be? [07:11] 3.6.2 lives inside the packages libreoffice released as 3.6.3 as far as i can tell. [07:11] n3rV3, thanks. but I am still confused. what is the different between runlevel 2, 3, 5? I think I am currently using 2, because that is the result of executing command $ runlevel. [07:11] What kind of screwed up crap is this supposed to be? [07:11] a mistake, which people make. [07:12] Well, I sure hope that they see their typo, or whatever one wants to call it. [07:12] i have 3.5.0 and 3.6.2 installed at the same time by the way...and i tried the update thing from the program..and i found the link i just gave you 10mins ago..endless loop..wait for a proper to come out, i assume. [07:13] What link? [07:13] sgo11, that is a Linux/Ubuntu concept and you'll have to read about it. I can help you with your support queries here [07:13] http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.6.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.6.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz [07:14] west, sudo apt-get install flash-installer i believe.

[07:16] uname -a [07:16] Supreme_Niggler: rude nick in some parts [07:16] look for _64 [07:16] n3rV3, I understood the linux concept. at least, I understood the opensuse concept. runlevel 5 is graphical. runlevel 3 is text mode with network. if I remember correctly, runlevel 2 is text mode without network. etc... but for ubuntu, it's totally different from opensuse. that's why I am confused. whatever. I can google for it. thanks a lot for your help. [07:17] blackness, tried that, doesn't show that info, least not here on this machine [07:17] almoxarife: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/niggle -- Supreme_Niggler: But you know damn well why you chose the nick :P [07:17] post your: uname -a [07:17] :) [07:17] basically on ubuntu runlevels 3 and 5 are same as runlevel 2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto will explain more about it.

[07:22] blackness, lots of output from that but nothing to indicate 64 or 32 [07:22] do these guidelines [07:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [07:22] apply to ubuntu-offtopic too ? [07:23] "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i flags | head -n1" will show if a cpu supports 64 bit [07:23] zamboni: you tell us, did you read them? [07:23] ya [07:23] zamboni: why do you ask?

There is a ubuntu-opps channel I think [07:24] i want Supreme_Niggler gone! offensive nick, i live in the modern world where that is not acceptable [07:24] Yeah, I think !op and !ops works, but you shouldn't use it willy nilly [07:24] Ben64, the output included this: dtes64 [07:24] blackness, overdub: I would look for lahf_lm [07:24] umm ignore me [07:24] thanks guys [07:25] ok, i got that..but i know imm using 64x :P [07:25] Ben64, yes, that's there too [07:26] overdub, i think you installed a 32bit version, is this a fresh install?

[07:38] joclek: looked in the bios setup? [07:38] don't care about battery and I think it might be causing crashes [07:38] oh yeah, bios should be the proper way to disable it. Juyst thought the bumblebee options might also allow setting it to never use [07:39] how do I make a script run on login vai Ubuntu server? [07:39] ??? [07:39] do MacBooks have a bios?

When i first moved to linux i insisted to be admin as i was used to under windowsa [07:46] varikonniemi: yeap, and i have made some really good ones, thank you :) , 'var'? i dont need no stinking 'var' :) [07:46] so i hacked my ubuntu to allow root login... you can guess i was reinstalling quite frequently [07:47] varikonniemi: i dabbled with backtrack5 on vbox, the kde version even, it runs 100% root [07:47] Hello. Is there a way to set the download location when doing a net install? i have a system booting from the linux kernel and the matching initrd.tz file. The first few steps of the installer work normally, but after i select a mirror, it never downloads anything. [07:47] The drive it's booting from is 32MB. I have bigger drives connected by usb (which i can't boot from). ideas? [07:48] wow [07:48] clarification: my bios doesn't allow booting from usb [07:48] you managed to boot from usb the mini.iso ? [07:48] so you boot from a 32mb hdd? :D ok [07:49] varikonniemi: it's a flash drive. not usb, but yes. [07:49] i'm booting from it. [07:49] is this doomed to fail? [07:49] .....what Operating system is booting with 32 mb? [07:49] what Operating system fit? [07:49] n3rV3, sorry to interrupt you. one more question. after executing "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove". the output of "service --status-all" still shows [ + ] apache2. why? why is that a plus sign? does it mean apache2 will be booted at startup? thanks. [07:50] Username_Banned: you mean 31 megs of hdd or ram? [07:50] Username_Banned: DOS? [07:50] 32* [07:50] hdd [07:50] Username_Banned: may be tiny core linux [07:50] 32 mb hdd. [07:51] i was using tiny core linux, but now i'm trying to get ubuntu running on this machine (processor is an i686 with 376 mb RAM). [07:51] sgo11: it means, it is started (currently running). [07:51] ciao [07:51] !list [07:52] forzabiz: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [07:52] the only things on the 32 mb hdd are the linux kernel and it's initrd.tz file. i was following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet [07:52] llutz, but that is wrong. I have stopped apache2 by running sudo service apache2 stop. ps -ef does not have apache2 running either. thanks. [07:53] people are already installing ubuntu on android tablets, using vnc to get to it local [07:53] Username_Banned: and i'm using the oneiric kernel and initrd [07:54] Username_Banned: strike that. it's lucid. [07:54] is the download attempting to go to the 32mb hdd, and failing when the process cannot operate within the space given? [07:54] btw, one more question, what is the command to show all the autostart service? thanks. [07:55] It was my impression that when downloading via netboot that the basic system downloads to RAM then during partitioning and formating it gets installed on one drive or another... [07:55] Username_Banned: after i select a mirror, i get a blue screen with nothing on it. i can see (in my router's activity monitor) that it's not doing and network traffic. [07:55] *after not during [07:56] Username_Banned: i'm just guessing that there's a disk space problem. [07:56] nrw, my last netboot install did the same for about 30 minutes before it showed any activity [07:56] OpenSorce: wow [07:57] nrw, keep in mind it was on a very slow machine [07:57] nrw, but yeah... no status bar or anything just blue for 30 minutes then it started showing me things. [07:58] Honestly, the blue screen you described has me confused, but it does seem logical that it could be a space problem or an overload of some sort [07:58] there's only 2MB free on the internal drive. i'm assuming it's gonna download more than 2MB of stuff. i can't imagine the installer hunts for free disk space on other drives. does it? [07:58] Username_Banned, like I just told him, I've seen the same thing on netboot/PXE installs [07:58] nrw, it uses ram [07:59] nrw, I believe it stores it in RAM until you select the drives to use [07:59] i have 376mb of ram. is there hope of fitting the whole system on that? [07:59] lubuntu yes, ubuntu not really [07:59] llutz, just figure out the output of "service --status-all" is different from "sudo service --status-all". one shows [+] apache2, and another one shows [-] apache2. I have no idea why it's like this. [07:59] varikonniemi: crap. i don't have a way to switch at this point. [08:00] nrw, I have Ubuntu on a machine with 256mb Ram. Using LXDE [08:00] well as you might know ubuntu and lubuntu are almost the same thing, so after you find ubuntu unusably slow you can simply install lubuntu-desktop and login to lxde and youre set [08:00] nrw, THIS machine to be precise [08:01] :) [08:01] Now just don't ask me to 'cat /etc/issue' of that machine it will give the currentists here heart failure :-) [08:01] i gave up on the installer after about 20 minutes. what i'm hearing is "wait longer". :) [08:01] I have a problem, becuase I sat a furture time when I do svn update, then I correct the computer time, but when I build source, it will cause an error as makefile is created in furture time [08:02] lubuntu-desktop being the name of the meta package... simply apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [08:02] then how to change the time stamp of a directionary [08:02] installing 2 desktops like that makes for messy menus [08:02] nrw, That's what I did, just give it time. Or you can setup another machine as an http server and host the files there [08:02] ayaka: touch, [08:03] ikonia, but the file has been existed [08:03] ayaka: so ? [08:03] OpenSorce: ok. thanks for giving me hope. :) [08:03] ikonia, touch can still do that ? [08:03] i had gnome shell, unity, kde, openbox, gnome fallback on my last media center that i use to showcase linux to friends ;) and i had no problems with many DE:s [08:03] ayaka: yes, that's why I suggested it [08:03] ikonia, thank you very much [08:03] Anastasya: OpenSorce: varikonniemi: thanks for your help.

[10:14] WishArt, i got right now a partition of 350 for windows, and i got one with 20 gb for / and one for 330 for /home, the installer will make everything else?

[10:36] Gyro54: ON the top bar in Ubuntu do you get the File/Edit etc menu? [10:36] Gyro54: reinstall thunderbird-globalmenu if it exists [10:38] DJones: No all menus are gone. I have to alt-tab to go to something else to allow to shutdown etc. I can control from the Unity icons when in another program. [10:39] ActionParsnip: I removed and replaced the Global Menus but the problem still exists [10:39] Gyro54: I wondered whether the menu's had just been switched off from the View tab, but obviously not that [10:39] !info thunderbird-globalmenu [10:39] thunderbird-globalmenu (source: thunderbird): Unity appmenu integration for Thunderbird.

[10:41] my server cannot resolve the DNS and therefore takes forever at ssh login etc [10:41] ActionParsnip: No did the reinstall from the software centre - removed and replaced [10:41] tux9th: rdns uses the same port as dns [10:42] ActionParsnip: so what's going wrong then :/ I opened port 53 and it still takes forever... (I'm on UFW btw) === yavor is now known as m1h0 [10:42] ctionParsnip: I will run reinstall in the morning. Thanks [10:42] also when I change user with sudo it said unable to resolv ehost [10:42] tux9th: if you run: hostname it will show your hostname [10:43] yes [10:43] it does [10:43] txwikinger: if you then run: gedit /etc/resolv.conf is there an entry for that hostname in the file [10:43] tux9th: ^ [10:43] no [10:43] tux9th: that's why [10:43] but if I disable the firewall it works :P [10:44] so I primarily think that the firewall is faulty [10:44] tux9th: did you change the /etc/hostname file recently by any remote chance? [10:44] no [10:44] tux9th: you need to have the hostname in /etc/resolv.conf so the system can resolve its own hostname to 127.0.0.1 [10:45] in resolve.conf are all the nameservers etc [10:45] <_cronus_> ActionParsnip, aren't hosts stored in /etc/hosts? [10:45] yes [10:45] /etc/hostnames doesn't exist [10:45] _cronus_: oh yeah, my bad [10:46] it says 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [10:46] tux9th: sorry, it should have an entry in /etc/hosts to resolve the hostname to 127.0.0.1 [10:46] tux9th: what is the hostname? [10:46] tux9th, you can use the network-manager to set the DNS so that /etc/resolv.conf is setup correctly [10:46] j35739.servers.jiffybox.net [10:47] nrdb: I'm on a remote machine no gui I think network-manager is a GUI right? [10:47] tux9th, yes it is. [10:48] no gui there [10:48] tux9th: then you need to change: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost to: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost j35739.servers.jiffybox.net j35739 [10:48] What I don't understand is why this only happens when I turn on the firewall [10:49] tux9th: the system needs to resolve itself to 127.0.0.1, it affects a lot of the system as localhost is used a lot [10:56] Anyone know of a back up tool that uses Amazon Glacier? [10:57] Iszak: cant say ive ever heard that one mentioned in this channel. check askubuntu.com yet? [10:58] Iszak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2047837 [10:59] !find glacieruploader [10:59] Package/file glacieruploader does not exist in quantal [10:59] Unless anyone has any other suggestions instead of Amazon Glacier? The retrieval time does suck tbh. [10:59] Iszak: there is a client you can compile on that page I linked.... [11:00] ActionParsnip yeah, not a fan on compiling :P [11:00] plus it's java. [11:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1039511 [11:00] Launchpad bug 1039511 in Duplicity "Support for Amazon Glacier" [Undecided,New] [11:03] ActionParsnip: it seems I fixed some part of it [11:03] ssh login takes forever but sudo su works now [11:04] tux9th: I suggest you use: sudo -i [11:04] the external rdns lookup still doesn't work the internal seems to work now [11:04] at first it always said couldn't resolve host [11:04] tux9th: sudo su will make you use root's profile. sudo -i will use your user's [11:04] tux9th: yes but you can see why [11:04] k will do from now on [11:04] you know it always prints from where the last logi nwas [11:05] if I turn off the firewall I get my rdns standing there [11:05] if I turn on the firewall I get the IP only [11:05] tux9th: do you have suitable DNS servers in resolv.conf ? [11:05] I assume so as it works with firewall turned off :P! [11:06] tux9th: can you ping the DNS servers when the firewall is on? [11:06] hm nope :p [11:06] tux9th: didn't you think to test that initially? [11:07] nope... [11:07] I still don't get why [11:07] Hi, I have a problem with ntfs drive on xubuntu, can anyone help me? [11:07] tux9th: if names don't resolve when the firewall is up then testing connecting connectivity to the DNS is a smart move, wouldn't you say? [11:07] kazik: what is the issue?> [11:08] I installed xubuntu on one drive (ext4) and I have another drive (ntfs) but now that I have installed it, I can't see it or access it in any way [11:08] ActionParsnip: seems so. But I don't get why the connectivity isn't there. That's why I initially asked what to do to make the firewall allow all of that :S [11:08] kazik: is it an internal partition? [11:08] yup, [11:08] ActionParsnip: I opened port 53 for dns [11:08] tuxthen why ddn't you think to test that? [11:08] okay well we're there but what to do now?! [11:09] I tried ntfs-config but there weren't any drives there to mess with [11:09] tux9th: run a tracerote to the DNS, see where the link dies [11:09] I tried blkid command but it only shows ext4 drive and swap area [11:09] so, what do I do, anybody has any idea? [11:10] kazik: does it show up if you run: sudo fdisk -l [11:10] tux9th: traceroute sorry [11:10] ActionParsnip: it doesn't get out [11:10] tux9th: then I'd check your firewall logs [11:10] yes it does [11:10] /dev/sda2 [11:10] extended [11:10] what now? [11:11] kazik: sda5 will be the extended partition, if any [11:11] kazik: I suggest you add the partition in /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot [11:12] kazik: if it's just for one time access, you can run: sudo mkdir /media/ntfs; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/ntfs -o rw,users,uid=1000 [11:12] hmm okay, how do I do it? [11:12] yeah okay, but I want it permanently [11:12] kazik: there are tonnes of guides online for adding NTFS to /etc/fstab [11:12] okay [11:12] thanks :) [11:12] I'll do it [11:12] kazik: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:12] kazik: try websearching a little rather than IMMEDIATELY asking 'how do I' etc [11:13] why script works when i ./script run it but fails when run-parts tries to run it?

What's the easiest way to turn that message off? I have no intention of upgrading until the whole Gnome 3 / Unity insanity calms down and people go back to designing more reasonable desktop environments. [12:07] hello [12:07] Cale: turn off automatic services. Natty is EOL so not supported in any way, nor will you get any updates [12:07] right, I know that :) [12:07] Cale: you don't have to use Gnome you know, if you install XUbuntu you won't even have Gnome / Unity installed === Guest42272 is now known as Ex0deus [12:08] Hi, i am using Ubuntu 12.120 and every time i try and install something using the software center , each time at the end of an install it says " package fail " and it does not matter what I try and install, how can I fix this please ? [12:08] I like Gnome 2 [12:08] 12.10 * [12:08] rainbowwarrior2: can you pastebin the error verbatim? [12:09] Cale: there are forks of gnome2, but they are not supported here [12:09] rainbowwarrior2: Do you able install through terminal at least? Or same error? [12:09] Cale: XFCE is made using GTK, so you can run your Gnome apps without issue and it will look and feel like Gnome2 [12:09] fairuz, same error [12:09] Yeah, I've considered doing that. If push comes to shove, I might end up with XFCE. [12:10] I used to like Gnome 2 [12:10] it's no longer supported and I'm not keen on Gnome 3 [12:10] fortunately, Unity is much better than either of them [12:10] Hi there [12:11] I can't stand Unity [12:11] Cale: use another DE [12:11] I am having issues with video streaming online it's a bit choppy [12:11] Cale i'm using lubuntu, it's very swift [12:11] any help? [12:11] philinux: That's what I'm doing. I'm using Gnome 2. :P [12:12] I'm using Xubuntu 12.10 [12:12] Somewhat unrelated, I'd also have to work out how to disable jack sensing in the newer kernel, because it is really obnoxious. [12:12] Cale: have you experienced mate or cinnamon [12:12] on Lenovo X100e [12:12] (Having headphones plugged in kills my speakers) [12:12] Unity isn't a DE, just so you know :) [12:12] ActionParsnip: indeed a compiz plugin it is [12:12] (So I have to physically plug and unplug my headphones all the time) [12:13] Cale: i see people in here with the opposite problem all the time. ;) both being on when plugged in [12:13] gordonjcp , just seeing if i can paste the error into pastebin now [12:13] I actually like the option of having both. [12:13] So that I can have headphones with better stereo separation while other people in my room can still hear [12:14] ive never seen a definitive fix/tool]setting to set it one way or the other [12:14] Of course, I also need the ability to control the volume of each independently. [12:14] hello, i need my IP address to be shown in the panel. what app can i use? [12:14] and the new volume control panels seem really derpy and only give me a master volume control :P [12:14] Cale: perhaps in that pavcontrol tool [12:14] (all the pulseaudio crap) [12:15] Cale: I always though that was the default. plug in head phones should always kill the speakers [12:15] philinux: That's ridiculous [12:15] philinux: its supposed to work that way. [12:15] nevermind, i found one [12:15] philinux: I have no idea where people got that idea. [12:15] It only makes sense for things like tablet PCs. [12:15] Cale: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [12:15] thats the way it's always worked on my lappy pc and phone [12:15] its how radios, cellphones, and other devices work... [12:16] ActionParsnip: It would be pointless to do that right now, because I'm on natty and don't have jack sensing at all. [12:16] with smart jack/sensing its now more flexiable [12:16] Cale: gotcha [12:17] But when I upgrade (which I've tried on another hard drive), I end up dealing with that annoyance. [12:17] i still wonder how these things can tell i plugged in a mic. vs a headphones [12:17] I would *much* rather control the use and mixing of my headphones entirely in software. [12:17] I don't want to have to climb under my desk and physically adjust how things are plugged in to change between headphones and speakers [12:18] It's stupid to suggest that I should have to. [12:18] its stupid to have such an attitude with us. [12:18] (I'm not directing that comment at you guys specifically) [12:19] But there have been people who seem to think that this should be the case. [12:19] There may be a module option to tell the OS not to mute sound when you shove phones in [12:19] Cale you could suggest such software on !brainstorm [12:19] wonder if jackd would allow more controll also [12:19] i barely understand jackd [12:19] gordonjcp never mind i fixed my problem, for some reason zoneminder was effecting everything and since i removed it, i can install things and remove things again without errors [12:20] For the entire time that I've been using computers with sound cards in them, say, since 1992 or so, there has been a way to control headphone and speaker volume and muting independently of one another, and sound has gone out to both ports at once. [12:20] It's only been in the last couple of years or so that I've started seeing this jack sensing stuff come about. [12:20] Cale: the default is to mute the speakers, but i'd imagine there is a way with module options === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [12:21] Hi, what is the best software to convert avi to mp4 for Ubuntu 12.10 please ? [12:22] rainbowwarrior2: there is no single best software to do that, in any OS [12:22] rainbowwarrior2 ffmpeg or avconv (which is basically the same) [12:22] rainbowwarrior2: an avi file could be using the mprg codec and thus be a mp4.. but theres several converter tools in the repos [12:22] rainbowwarrior2: avidemux, arista, winff and otheres.. many are frontends to ffmpeg or mencoder [12:23] ok thank you ActionParsnip , MonkeyDust and dr_willis :o) [12:23] rainbowwarrior2: I came across this the other day http://www.iloveubuntu.net/convert-music-videos-pictures-and-isos-format-junkie-powerful-all-one-utility [12:23] rainbowwarrior2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916664 [12:23] !info arista [12:23] arista (source: arista): multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop.

[12:24] munky dust [12:24] ok thank you ActionParsnip :o) [12:25] At least for gnome 2, I kind of know what steps I need to take to get rid of any trace of PulseAudio. [12:26] (and really, I have nothing against PulseAudio, except for the fact that it takes the 20 or 30 volume controls supported by my sound hardware and hides them all behind a single derpy master volume knob.) [12:26] Cale: you can run or not run pulseaudio in ANY DE, the desktop doesn't dictate the sound stuff [12:26] Cale: you can even run a desktopless OS and run full sound suites etc [12:26] ActionParsnip: Yes, this is a separate issue, but not entirely orthogonal [12:27] ActionParsnip: Just for info, I copied the Home folder desktop file & set the folder I wanted to open via nauilus & just dragged it onto the unity bar, just one less click than a nautilus bookmark [12:27] Because the newer desktop environments don't have as nice volume control applets for plain ALSA. [12:27] i just use alsamixer [12:27] Cale: so Gnome2 being able to get rid of pulse is nonsensical, you can do it in any DE if you can do it in Gnome2 [12:27] Cale true, everything was better when we was young [12:27] ActionParsnip: If I want to write some code, I can do that. [12:27] DJones: sweet [12:28] ActionParsnip: There's nothing *in principle* which prevents Gnome 3 from having nice ALSA mixing facilities. [12:28] But it doesn't have them. [12:28] what about alsamixer? [12:28] does anyone know where would the icons in nautilus desktop context menu and other context menus be located?, i can't seem to find them in the icon theme hierarchy [12:28] Cale: it can though [12:29] wastrel: alsamixer is okay, but inconvenient compared with having nice little panel widgets which are always available [12:29] panel widgets? like an icon? [12:29] or like dockapps? [12:30] hi [12:30] i have an issue with samba [12:30] oh panel like the menubar sorry i was thinking the launcher [12:30] it cant see the users? [12:30] speaking of the launcher why do i have an amazon icon in mine [12:30] i need to share with specific users, but the list of users isnt populating in the gui manager [12:30] do you have security = user or securtiy = share in smb.conf? [12:30] Yes, I have three little icons with an indication of the volume level for Master, PCM and headphone volume and muting state, and when I click one, it shows a slider control and checkbox hich I can use to adjust the volume and muting. [12:31] which* [12:31] my menubar is very full [12:32] PoolShark_: me? [12:32] That sort of thing is really convenient for me, and I haven't been able to easily set up anything too analogous in the newer desktop environments.

[12:32] AquaL1te: also Quantal has been released and is stable [12:32] Laurenceb: /etc/samba [12:33] isnt 12.04 already stable? [12:33] AquaL1te 12.10 is the latest stable [12:33] well, it even can't reboot/power off [12:33] do what AquaL1te... [12:33] in my case, 12.04 is faster than 11.04 and 10.04 [12:33] how are you commanding shutdown? [12:33] AquaL1te: it can, now what [12:33] # security = user [12:33] sobig, i still use 8.04 ;P [12:33] PoolShark_: ^ [12:34] AquaL1te: eve 13.04 powers off, hibernates and suspends here... [12:34] what is this package: 4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1 [12:34] no it can't, lenovo x220 and t410 [12:34] Laurenceb: hrm... what GUI is it? [12:34] grr, there is no lts version before 10.04 [12:34] multiple installations, different hardware [12:34] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1 [12:34] PoolShark_: Samba Server Configuration [12:34] kernel upgrade doesn't work either [12:34] and then the other thing which stops me from upgrading is the fact that I started having random crashes to login screen, like at least one per day, which I don't get in natty. [12:34] i cant find it yet its a dep for vbox [12:34] keeps haning in the plymouth animation [12:34] AquaL1te, shutdown -r now, reboot, shutdown -h now, halt after shutdown.. [12:34] and ill get the other commands [12:34] my 10.04 is still supported until 2013 [12:34] PoolShark_: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-configure-samba-using-a-graphical-interface-in-ubuntu/ [12:34] !find dfsg > gener1c [12:34] im followiung that [12:35] Laurenceb: I've only ever configured samba by editing smb.conf... not sure why the GUI is being stupid [12:35] blackness, right... that's not a fix [12:35] AquaL1te: are there any bugs reported? [12:35] but i guess none of you have this problem? [12:35] gener1c: dfsg = debian free software guidelines [12:35] !find dfsg | gener1c [12:35] gener1c: Found: emacs23-common-non-dfsg, emacs24-common-non-dfsg, guile-1.8-doc-non-dfsg, openvas-plugins-dfsg [12:35] if you can create a share with the GUI, and then go in and add the "valid users = @user" to the share section in smb.conf, that will probably do what I think you are trying to do [12:35] great [12:36] AquaL1te, i never goto sleepmode, or hibernate mode..just shutdown or reboot..so i wouldnt know. [12:36] so anyways it doesnt exist anymore [12:36] (replace "@user" with the name of the user you want to have access to that share) [12:36] AquaL1te, I have a Lenovo X201 and everything works fine with 12.* [12:36] I'd really like a fork of Gnome 2 which didn't rename everything like Mate does, and which is truer to the original Gnome 2 than Cinnamon. [12:36] PoolShark_: the gui wont let me finish without users [12:36] pybe: well it can't be everything :D or you only use the terinal [12:36] llutz_: the pack doesnt exist [12:36] Cale: Gnome2 is dead upstream, I suggest you move on [12:36] ill speak to out network guys [12:37] gener1c: and your question is? [12:37] it may be i cant see everything properly from here [12:37] Laurenceb: don't know what to tell you then... other than maybe try using swat or just do it in smb.conf yourself [12:37] ok [12:37] ActionParsnip: Well, it may be dead upstream, but I don't have to like it :) [12:37] llutz_: is it supposed to exist or is it just a way to tell me to do it manually === Partyschaum^away is now known as Partyschaum [12:37] Cale: very true [12:38] is there a way to contact ubuntu developers? [12:38] AquaL1te, I havent had any problems so far other than with my Gobi 2000 wwlan card which was my fault through bad setup [12:38] AquaL1te, try #ubuntu-devel === Robert_ is now known as Guest56272 [12:39] ActionParsnip: It just feels like in the past couple of years, all the UI designers have decided that they're bored with their jobs and started changing everything just for the sake of making things different. We have all these new flaky desktop environments right at the same time as Windows 8 is happening. [12:39] pybe: well my experience is the worst... even my debian unstable machine has less regressions that this 'stable enterprise' release [12:39] Cale: LXDE has stayed the same [12:40] BluesKaj: i'll give it a shot [12:40] Cale: Lubuntu simply changes the theme [12:40] AquaL1te, do you have any logs or error messages from your issues? [12:41] no it doesn't come far enough to start logging [12:41] AquaL1te: I suggest you report a bug [12:41] or when it shutsdown it already has unmounted /var i guess, nothing there anyway [12:41] i did... not enough info they said [12:42] i'll contact the devs, and otherwise i'll just switch my company to debian [12:42] Hi all! Just a quick question: Those who use laptop with ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04 what's the average battery discharge for you, for example when browsing web with wifi on and brightness half of maxium? [12:43] arbba: mine is about 10 mins but my battery is about 7 years old [12:43] arbba: :) [12:44] ActionParsnip: That's a reasonable point. I don't have an opinion of LXDE, but it does look more sensible than some of the other options. [12:44] * sobig trusts only apple's batteries [12:44] hi comunity..how to use sysctl command to show hardware in system..plz see the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355175/ and suggest the right commnad [12:45] talpur_: tried hwinfo ? [12:46] arbba, I get 2-3 hours of acutal use from my Lenovo X201 and the battery is nearly half the capacity from when new. [12:46] ActionParsnip: and I've noticed that the Enlightenment guys have started up again, so I might also try that (but it would probably involve quite a bit of work to *really* make things how I wanted them to be) [12:47] talpur_ there's dmidecode [12:47] my sound not work plz help [12:47] lenovo :[ [12:47] pybe: time to buy a new laptop [12:47] raesi: me too :D [12:47] * sobig says no to levono [12:47] system ubuntu 11.10 [12:47] :( [12:47] uhm [12:47] wastrel, love my thinkpads too much [12:47] i cant find driver for my sound card [12:47] new thinkpad [12:48] lollko: your system 11.10 ? [12:48] Cale: try a few, there are lots to try [12:48] ActionParsnip: I am trying it is not installed meassage occurs, so I am installing it [12:48] ubuntu ? [12:48] raesi: i can try fresh instalation on 12.10 [12:48] raesi: yop [12:48] talpur_: cool, it give a nice GUI [12:48] Ubuntu/oneiric [12:48] on hp probook 4515s [12:48] wastrel, this laptop has loads of life in it [12:48] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:48] my system 11.10 already worked [12:49] now not work [12:49] because i install any software [12:49] :( [12:49] raesi: my webcam doenst working and sound [12:49] 12.10 sucks [12:49] *doesnt [12:49] sobig: why? [12:49] i need reset my setting sound card [12:49] 12.10 reports random interrupt errors to me [12:50] in a vm [12:50] lollko: tried it in cheese?

[12:55] anybody [12:55] ActionParsnip: I have tried a few things already (Unity, Gnome 3, Cinnamon, Mate), and have considered dropping back to not having a desktop environment and just using a plain ol' WM on top of X -- though I tend to miss things like all my panel applets for monitoring memory/CPU/network/HDD usage, temperatures, world clocks, volume controls, etc. But yeah, the problem isn't insurmountable. If I really had to, I could write all that software myself. It's just -- s [12:55] houldn't an acceptably-working version of all this sort of thing exist? Gnome 3 has an entirely new plugin system, and I could almost get them to the point where they covered these use cases, though it was much clunkier and less flexible than the Gnome 2 panel applets were. [12:56] hi [12:56] Cale: tried gnome-shell? It is the standard shell for 'normal' gnome3 [12:56] ActionParsnip: right, yes, that's what I'm talking about [12:56] I guess I could also look for standalone versions of all this stuff which weren't too intrusive... or write them myself, if I wanted to sink a lot of time into it. [12:56] i am having this software bug me about its unsuccessful install due to a dep although i gave up on it and i am trying to install something else [12:56] talpur_ try piping it to egrep and the words you want [12:56] Cale: could just run openbox (no desktop) for supreme lightness [12:57] how do i abort its install request [12:57] talpur_ like: dmidecode | egrep blah [12:57] is there a ubuntu flavour with gnome2 for 12.04? [12:57] gener1c: try: sudo apt-get -f install [12:57] i am having this software bug [12:57] sobig: not official ones [12:57] ActionParsnip: it didnt help [12:57] that's too bad [12:57] gener1c: can you pastebin the output of the command please [12:57] yeah [12:58] sweet 11.04 :))) [12:58] ActionParsnip: Yeah. I used to use pwm (which is similar to ion, though not a tiling WM), but I've become somewhat addicted to having all these various things hanging around on the edges of my display :) [12:58] 11.04 is not a lts version afaik. it's end-of-life in one year [12:59] gener1c: thanks, the output will help us diagnose once we get the link [12:59] and the main problem with dropping back to not having a desktop environment for me is that I have to give up some of this functionality in one way or another. [12:59] sobig: 11.04 is dead right now [12:59] lol [12:59] (also, with upgrading to newer DEs which seem to lack one or more of these features) [12:59] sobig: April 2011 + 18 months as it is a regular release, I'll let you do the maths [13:00] MonkeyDust: plz see the pate http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355434/ and then suggest [13:00] damn [13:00] * sobig corrects the memory [13:00] my ubuntu box lags even on openbox... [13:00] with only xchat and a terminal open [13:00] .-. [13:01] anyone knows why i got a grub error (and its console) about missing uuid's, after i've installed ubuntu on /dev/sda (it was the only drive connected than), and i've added another harddrive (which become /dev/sda, the older one is now /dev/sdb)? in fstab /boot partition is mounted by uuid, not by device name so changing of disks shouldn't matter (apparently- it does)? [13:01] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/f4J0brJQ [13:01] whats up nerds :) [13:02] talpur_ type man dmidecode and scroll down to DMI types, you'll see [13:02] szymon_g, you can manually edit fstab to use the uuid of the drive [13:03] compdoc, the installer should set it properly. uuids do not change over reboot, are they? if yes- what was their advantage over /dev/sd* device names? [13:03] it boots fine when there is only 1 drive connected [13:03] talpur_ like: sudo dmidecode -t 0 [13:03] szymon_g, you can also plug the drives in to the controller ports on the mainboard so that the drive that was sda becomes sda again [13:03] gener1c: i've always used the .deb to install vbox... never tried through apt-get [13:03] so the uuid of /boot partition is good. it cannot boot if the system is installed on /dev/sdb device (which appears only after another disk is plugged in) [13:04] talpur_ i'm off now, good luck!! [13:04] szymon_g, they dont change unless for format the partition of mess with the partition type [13:04] MonkeyDust: bunddle of thanks [13:04] i did nothing of that [13:05] *unless you [13:05] what is the difference between initctl and initctl.distrib [13:05] and why does initctl link to /bin/true [13:05] link==linked [13:05] i've just re-connected my old disks, sda and sdc (now). when i was installing ubuntu, it recognised the disk (ssd) as /dev/sda (because there was only 1 disk at the installation time). now this disk is /dev/sdb === Robert_ is now known as Guest54033 [13:06] szymon_g, its easy to edit fstab to use uuid. Also easy to rearrange the drives on the controllers [13:06] how i check my System CPU-name,,which command should I use [13:06] why should i modify the uuid? it works fine as long as there is only 1 drive connected [13:06] when i connect another disks, it doesn't boot [13:06] talpur_: grep name /proc/cpuinfo [13:07] szymon_g: that's why you use UUID [13:07] yes. and apparently they do not work fine on ubu, otherwise the amount of drives connected would be irrelevelant (or however it's spelled) === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest17764 [13:08] wtf.... gnome-classic lags less then openbox [13:08] llutz_: like one has cpu-name = AMD Opteron 256...the command u say show the Model [13:10] your computer doesnt care what you try to blame, or how you think it should work [13:10] wolfmitchell: openbox isn't very good [13:10] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:10] szymon_g: that's the case for pretty much anything with a Linux kernel [13:11] szymon_g: how the drives are connected and how they are identified to the system has an effect on the order they are detected in [13:11] gener1c: reading (got called away) [13:11] szymon_g: UUID solves this [13:11] gener1c: your issue is with cinammon which isn't supported here [13:11] gordonjcp, so what's the point of using uuids than? their main point was to make it dependless from device names [13:12] szymon_g: that's right [13:12] gordonjcp, not in that case. 1 disk= everythings fine. more disks- uuid /boot doesn't boot [13:12] szymon_g: you stick the UUID in, and it makes no odds what order things come up in [13:12] gener1c: you can satisfy the app with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/insync-beta-gnome-cinnamon-common_0.9.25_i386.deb [13:12] * sobig adds sinamon in the coffee [13:12] szymon_g: is grub configured to use uuid? [13:12] yes i know, but in this case it doesn't work. i'll have to fill a bugreport or something [13:12] gener1c: but your 3rd party packager has bungled the packaging and duplicated the files in the package which overlap with the ones in another package [13:13] gener1c: i suggest you report the issue [13:13] szymon_g: yeah, sounds like you might have to [13:13] gordonjcp, UUID=b70777ab-c443-49ea-89c1-bf2662eed869 /boot ext4 defaults 0 2 [13:13] thats from /etc/fstab [13:13] can someone who is running 12.10 paste the output of sudo ls -la /sbin/initctl [13:14] szymon_g: okay, and what about your grub config? [13:14] szymon_g: grep sda /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:14] gener1c: if you use 3rd party packages, there is no real quality control, unlike the official canonical ones [13:15] llutz, nothing is there. neither is sdb or sdc [13:15] gordonjcp, isn'g grub automatically configured on ubuntu to use that? it's fresh install, i haven't touch it [13:15] please? [13:15] milestone, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 155560 Oct 12 20:30 /sbin/initctl [13:15] szymon_g: are you sure there is no old grub in the MBR of that drive becomming /dev/sda when you replug the other drives? [13:16] szymon_g: so it is not a link [13:16] szymon_g: great thx [13:16] milestone: it can be if you want :) [13:16] llutz, in the sda? hm... i don't know [13:16] ActionParsnip: yes if you do not want your system to start anything ;) [13:16] how can i erase it without loosing content of drive? [13:17] i used to have a win8 on it [13:17] szymon_g: wipe the first 440 Byte of the 1st sector of the disk [13:17] ActionParsnip: i used the official conanical ones [13:17] they didnt work [13:17] gener1c: no, its a PPA. Canonical do not package Cinammon [13:17] in regards to vbox [13:17] gener1c: the issue isn't vbox [13:18] szymon_g: other way round: do you change boot-order in the BIOS if you replug the drives? [13:18] llutz_: Which commnad is used to know operating system detail, [13:18] gener1c: read the pastebin, the issue is that a file in the cinammon package cannot overwrite one of the standing files [13:18] ok then, how do i kick that request out of my install i am not trying to do anything that is even remotely close to insync ActionParsnip [13:18] talpur_: detail as? [13:19] gener1c: so the vbox will not install til the packages are square. This is because you are using Cinammon which is unofficial [13:19] gener1c: I suggest you report this tyo the Cinammon guys so they can sort their packaging out [13:19] llutz, i've had it by defaoult to boot it from my sdb drive. i'll check it in a sec, ok?. now i have to go- work :/ [13:19] cant i bypass that issue somehow? ActionParsnip [13:20] gener1c: yes, I gave you the command earlier [13:20] gener1c: it makes the file be overwritten regardles but if you remove either package it will break the packaging [13:20] gener1c: you may also find updating gets upset too due to the overlapping file [13:21] llutz_: detail..like OS name, OS file, OS comipler, OS sate etc [13:21] ActionParsnip: dpkg: error: --install needs at least one package archive file argument [13:21] gener1c: if you add 3rd party PPAs compiled and built by whoknows, then you can more than likely expect issues [13:21] gener1c: you can satisfy the app with: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/insync-beta-gnome-cinnamon-common_0.9.25_i386.deb === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [13:22] gener1c: copy and paste [13:22] oh right [13:22] gener1c: I copied and pasted that from earlier [13:23] sorry [13:23] gener1c: 'scroll up' is a wonderful feature of modern OSes [13:23] i use irssi and pageup :P [13:23] gener1c: same deal ;) [13:23] gener1c: me too :) [13:24] ActionParsnip: which command is used to know the Operating system detail like OS name, OS file, OS comipler, OS sate etc [13:24] talpur_: "lsb_release -a", "gcc --version" idk what "OS file/sate" are [13:24] llutz_: dude that was FAST [13:24] ActionParsnip: 3mins, not really [13:24] llutz_: oh, asked before? [13:25] :D [13:25] * ActionParsnip withdraws llutz_'s gold medal [13:25] llutz_: thanks.....for example file: ext3 , state= runlevel3 [13:25] llutz_, talpur_, don't forget uname [13:26] !runlevel | talpur_ [13:26] talpur_: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:26] talpur_: sudo blkid [13:26] talpur_: sudo parted -l will show the file system type [13:26] talpur_: are you using a desktop OS? [13:26] llutz_: thanks [13:27] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:27] talpur_: are you using a desktop OS? [13:27] ActionParsnip: yes [13:27] talpur_: then the runlevel will always be 5 [13:27] talpur_: you see, there is no single command to gather all that information. you have to do some research [13:27] llutz_: thanks i will do [13:27] Hi all I was wondering I have a cue file and a flac file I used to use a cue splitter on windows is there any gui progrsm like that for ubuntu?

[13:29] dean__, Also, check out Flacon [13:29] dean__: did you even search a little? [13:30] ActionParsnip: even if ubottus factoid is named "google", doesn't it cover duckduckgo too? ;) [13:30] ActionParsnip, I did but I came across cli commands but I aint too great with terminal commands still a bit of a noob medievil cue splitter used to do it all for me [13:30] llutz_: just absolutely astonished how I can find this stuff in seconds with the most remedial search term.... [13:30] jCuber, Flacon is that a program? [13:31] dean__, You can try running it under Wine or then download Flacon (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=113388) [13:31] dean__, Yup, with a GUI, too [13:31] dean__: yes, but if the commands are on the page for you to COPY then your ability in command line is negated [13:32] jCuber, You are a legend just what I am after [13:32] ActionParsnip, The web commands confuse me sometimes [13:32] dean__: the page also mentions flacon if you read down === anonymous is now known as Guest6141 [13:33] ActionParsnip: but true you are... [13:33] ActionParsnip, How come you are giving me a hard time? I have been a user of windows a long time and I am still getting to grips with Linux I can do simple commands like sudo apt-get [13:34] dean__: but the commands are there, you can copy and paste text, right? [13:34] reach for the gold ring! take your linux-fu skill to the next level. [13:34] ActionParsnip, I can copy and paste but its when it starts asking you to start typing in commands for locations and etc is when I get stuck? [13:35] dean__: then put the files in the root of your home folder using the file browser (sure you can do that) then the first time you open the terminal the files are ready to be worked on [13:35] dean__: no changing of folder is needed :) [13:36] back [13:36] lollko: again help me [13:37] ActionParsnip, I have added the ppa for flacon now much simpler === ubuntu is now known as Guest19647 [13:37] saw a neat site that had recorded bash sessions for different tasks. made learning some of the basics of bash handy.

[13:38] dean__: learning CLI is good, GUI tools are nice but they are restrictive compared to CLI :) [13:38] talpur_, What exactly do you mean by "where it use"? in the terminal ofc [13:39] raesi: killall pulseadio; rm -r ~/.pulse* [13:39] pulseadio: no process found [13:39] ActionParsnip, Will do when I start getting braver I would love to learn tar.gz one day lol [13:39] raesi: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* [13:39] hello everyone [13:39] jCuber: can you write the full commnad again....!runlevel | talpur gives the bash error [13:39] dean__: you won't use that much unless you fancy a play [13:40] rm: cannot remove `/home/foad/.pulse*': No such file or directory [13:40] ActionParsnip, Theres certain programs that aren't linux native that have a tar.gz to install there programs though [13:40] raesi: ok, wait 10 seconds, reboot and you should have default sound [13:40] dean__: .tar.gz is just an archive. ;) learning to etract it is the easy part. [13:40] ok [13:41] dr_willis, Compiling it is another lol [13:41] dean__: a few apps come precompiled in .tar.gz you exctact then cd to the dir and run.. ;) [13:41] but those are rare [13:41] ActionParsnip: because sound not worked [13:41] ActionParsnip: sorry to bother u,,,how we find the base_ptrsize [13:41] talpur_, What command do you mean? [13:42] !runlevel | talpur_ [13:42] talpur_: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:42] i have a problem. how can i install pci dial up modem ? [13:42] jCuber, Just waiting for flacon to install now is it user friendly? [13:42] dean__: compiling somting from source that is allready in the repos (as an older version for example) can be a lot easier with the build-deps option to apt-get . ;) [13:42] i have modemdata.txt [13:42] talpur_: do you expect us to do your homework? [13:42] raesi: that command defaults sound to vanilla settings [13:42] paste it here ?

I have just built a HTPC/NAS computer with Ubuntu (xubuntu since I dont want Unity) installed. Its working pretty good with mdadm raid5 and such. But now I want to use it together with my TV and the picture worked right out of the box when it comes to video. But when I try to get the HDMI audio working I got stuck. I went into BIOS and chose digital [13:45] audio to HDMI instead of SPDIF. And in the Volume Control I can see HDMI output and use it. I have chosen it and when im playing music the bars are moving. But there are still no sound. Anyone know anything that I can check? [13:45] jCuber, I think I have done it [13:45] Hi everyone, how much SWAP space does ubuntu 12.10 need?

[13:48] Is anyone familiar with devede? [13:48] i read manual about modems but i don`t understand it ... [13:48] dean__: it works.. ;) care to ask a real question about it. [13:49] dr_willis, Haha very funny I have used it in the past I like it however audio is slightly out of sync any ideas how to resolve that? [13:49] beginnere fail to click on that resize/recalculate button in devede i notice... [13:49] anyone here using kde?

[13:50] simplew, Don't know about here, but #kubuntu definitely has KDE users [13:50] dr_willis, I like it but still have to use a windows based program to do my authoring and mp3tag as well wish I could find a linux native program to do everything then I would be complete : p [13:50] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:51] i'v tried many time to change my pseudo , but my change seem not to be saved . anybody have an idea ?

How can I have more than 4 virtual desktops, and all in one line (so I don't need to use ctrl-up/down to switch between them?) [13:54] llutz, I have tried a few I think but none easy to use like mp3tag I just like to change the tags and add album covers nothing too fancy? [13:54] Mmike: i dont think unity supports them that way. gnome-shell does [13:54] unity enforces a X x X square layout. x 3x3 2x2 and so on [13:54] [n] [13:54] heh :/ [13:54] ActionParsnip:thanks [13:54] it is possible to use this modem in ubuntu 12.10 ? [13:55] Well this is unfortunate. That I have to sell my completely new NAS/HTPC just because Linux cannot handle HDMI. This sucks =( [13:55] that's really annoying :/ [13:55] dr_willis, are you using gnome-shell? [13:55] thebiffman, What are you talking about? I use HDMI all the time [13:55] thebiffman: or it may just work if you find the right driver update or kernel or other tweak [13:55] raesi: its on the sound troubleshooting procedure page [13:56] Mmike: been playing with gnome shell lately [13:56] dr_willis, what are you thoughs on it? [13:56] Mmike, dr_willis, I'm using it all the time [13:56] ok [13:56] I just upgraded from 11.04 (had to) to 12.04 (fresh insstall) and I feel like someone tied my hands :/ [13:56] hi , i'v tried many time to change my pseudo , but my change seem not to be saved . anybody have an idea ? [13:56] mmik id rather it be more like android. ;) [13:56] Mmike: try XFCE, it smells a lot like Gnome2 [13:57] unity in 12.10 i find easier to use [13:57] ActionParsnip, have you tried using it? :) [13:57] dr_willis, I work as a computer programmer and a system administrator - touchpad like interface is really not something I can find much use for :) [13:57] lubuntu is good for old school needs [13:58] i'm missing all the whitstless and bells in lxde [13:58] Mmike, You should try the interfaces and choose which one feels the best [13:58] hi [13:58] i just run my apps and alt tab around... de dosent maaaaaaatter muuch to me [13:58] :D [13:58] Sukar, Hey!

But I have no luck using google since Im not certain what to google after. Im using the new AMD FM2-socket A-series APU with a ASUS motherboard that has the HDMI integrated. I have chosen HDMI for digital audio in bios. Im out of ideas. Hence why I came here. May be some general things I can check....

[14:56] jCuber: that's it [14:56] "sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback unity-2d-launcher" then open console and run "unity-2d-shell" === DaZ is now known as ania12lat [14:59] ls [15:00] jCuber: that's cool [15:00] pratz, Working? [15:00] jCuber: yes [15:00] jCuber: how can i reduce the size of unity launcher icon ? [15:01] pratz, I don't use Unity, but try Right-clicking it and see if there's "preferences" or "properties" [15:01] ping me! [15:03] pratz, Actually, 1. Press "ALT+F2", then write "ccsm" in the Run dialog. 2. Find the "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" entry 3. Go to the "Experimental" tab and there should be a "Launcher icon size" [15:04] Is there a way to define a network specific hosts file? For example, I use dyndns to access my home server when away from home. I'd like to use the same domain entry to access when at home. [15:04] jCuber: if you want to customize unity you should try unsettings. omgubuntu just made a post about it [15:04] jCuber: no application ccsm [15:05] k1l_, Ah, Okay. I don't follow omgubuntu :P [15:05] would anyone recommend a good tray or other small system monitor for ubuntu? [15:05] #@Romance [15:05] pratz: ok, see what i just said (thought jCuber got the question) [15:06] Hi, I have a preseed script to install new machines and it works. But now I am trying to ship some firewall configurations to it, using iptables on late_command. However it says the iptables modules is not loaded, how could I enable the iptables modules on my preseed late_command? [15:06] pratz http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/unsettings-a-comprehensive-tweaking-tool-for-unity [15:08] Sukar: was that to me? [15:08] RobOakes, Why not use a DNS server? [15:09] Hi jCuber, that's probably the best option. [15:09] I've never really used bind, and thought it seemed like a lot of hassle for a little thing. [15:09] But it's really the best thing. [15:10] (Based upon the sources I've been able to find. I was hoping someone else might have an easier idea.) [15:11] RobOakes, so you want your hosts file to change by network connection? [15:12] jCuber: Yes. When I'm on my home network, I'd like to have an entry point point to the internal address for my server: 192.168.0.x [15:12] When outside of the house, I'd like for it to get the IP from the dyndns server. [15:13] k1l_: MonkeyDust it is not applying changes, should i restart the machine ? [15:13] RobOakes, This might help you: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355648/ === Hoo is now known as Guest36251 [15:13] RobOakes: if your server has a static IP, you could just use the /etc/hosts file on the client system [15:13] pratz: "Some changes require log out to take effect" [15:14] jCuber: That's exactly what I was hoping to get, thanks. [15:14] zykotick9: Unfortunately, it doesn't have a static IP :( [15:14] k1l_: like launcher icon size ? [15:14] RobOakes, You're welcome. Found it from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1555752 =) [15:14] RobOakes: the local address isn't static? why not? [15:14] zykotick9: Sorry, I misunderstood. The local address is static. [15:15] pratz: i didnt try that. did you click on the accept button in the menue-row in unsettings? [15:15] I don't have a static address for my home network. [15:15] RobOakes: i figured. so on your local network, you could use hosts file to "fake" the network address DNS name... [15:15] k1l_: yes the "apply" button [15:15] anyone here knows about FreePBX ? [15:16] I know about it, but I haven't played with it :( [15:16] looks like nvidia-current isn't installable on 12.10? "unable to find kernel source". installing the linux-source package doesn't change that. [15:16] One thing on my want-to-play-with list [15:17] edve, I don't, at least. You can try #freepbx if nobody here answers you [15:18] "dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current" reproduces the problem. [15:18] multi_io, Which GPU do you have? [15:19] multi_io: do you have the kernel headers installed? [15:19] jCuber: Quadro FX 5800 [15:19] ActionParsnip: yes. I thought that would suffice. [15:19] in 12.04 it did. [15:20] multi_io: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [15:21] How do I set my installed KDE as the default?

Reproducible with nvidia-current and nvidia-experimental-310, on Ubuntu 12.10 [15:30] Any ideas how to fix? [15:30] I believe it's related to the active blurring on the unity menu [15:30] MotherMGA: have you tried ubuntu-tweak to set the font hinting higher? [15:31] Not yet.

[16:40] oh [16:40] ok [16:41] rocky: do keep in mind that some of those codecs are actually illegal in USA, and that they are non-free :) [16:41] bkc_, i'm not in the usa ;) which package specifically will give rhythmbox pls support? [16:42] arvislacis: So, please explain once more what you problem is and what you want us to do about it. [16:42] because i think i already have the non-free repos activated [16:42] rocky: it has nothing to do with the .pls-file, it's probably an mp3/aac file in that list that causes it too fail :) [16:43] I have problem updating my system because my internet ban the word t.r.a.c.k so I can't download http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libxatr[remove]acker1_8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2_i386.deb package babilen [16:43] bkc_, it plays mp3's fine [16:43] and there's only one music file on the device, it's an mp3 [16:43] Why doesn't Ekiga work? [16:43] arvislacis: What happens if you try to download that package? And what kind of brain-dead administrator runs your network? [16:44] arvislacis, are you trying to use a torrent download , if that's failing just try the http download [16:44] babilen: It just don't allow to download, "Failed to fetch error", it is the University network. [16:45] BluesKaj: I use Terminal - want say it is illegal? :D [16:45] rocky: you do know that pls-files are mostly for radio-stations right? use an .m3u file instead :) [16:45] no it's not illegal to use torrent clients to download opensource files . arvislacis [16:46] arvislacis: Please speak to whoever is responsible for that as content filtering like that is not only ridiculous but completely stupid. Give me a second though, I'll see what I can do. [16:46] Hello. I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday. Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar. Is there any way to restore it? [16:46] BluesKaj: I hate illegal stuff and now I am starting to hate open-source. [16:47] arvislacis: this has nothing to do with open source, it has to do with the policies of your network. [16:47] babilen: Can't you simple download that package, rename and sent me back? [16:47] illeagle closed source is better? [16:47] i've had such problems with setting up my sdcard to track music and playlists that i've only copied one mp3 file and one playlist that uses that mp3 (via sync'ing) but i get the error that it doesn't understand pls files [16:47] I will better start to use my Calculator not PC. :D === fztmm is now known as FZTM [16:47] arvislacis you would have similar issues with closed source [16:47] it's your adminstrator who has set the ban on certain types of downloads , it's not open source that's at fault here [16:47] arvislacis: "Give me a second though, I'll see what I can do." [16:48] arvislacis,^ [16:48] BluesKaj: I know the problem, I just don't like that most of people make this problem so difficult. [16:49] arvislacis: You should definitely talk to computer support. It is their braindead approach ... [16:49] It is funny to see that almost nobody can't help me in situation when I know the solution. So what happens to that users who don't know nothing? [16:50] im on my phone.. so cant really send files ;) [16:50] arvislacis: http://wikisend.com/download/209772/foo.deb [16:50] It is better to write five books about solution not to try to help. Well, THANKS ALL. [16:50] hmm. never heard of wikisend [16:50] babilen: Thanks a lot. :) I will now be silent. [16:50] arvislacis you're seeing it wrong, that's why you're upset [16:52] hola perros [16:52] I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday. Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar. Is there any way to restore it? [16:53] i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue> [16:53] what can i do [16:53] arvislacis: Imho. Why string "t r a c " is bloked? This is a new banned and criminal word or sth? There is any reason? [16:54] seachdamh: Don't know the real reason but that is the fact. [16:54] i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue> what can i do??? [16:55] Ok, thanks all, Problem solved. [16:55] i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue> [16:56] arvislacis for future reference, how did you do it? [16:56] I am thinking about it - if there any other way how to get Ubuntu packages without using package names or something like that? [16:56] MonkeyDust: What do you mean? [16:56] rasha666: Did it work ok up till you did something? [16:57] arvislacis: there was some torrent-apt tool i recall [16:57] I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday. Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar. Is there any way to restore it? [16:57] arvislacis: in future, you can use tor to baypass content-filtering in your network, but tor is slow. [16:57] Ok [16:57] @philinux yes i accidentally formatted one partition [16:58] Thanks all again. ;) [16:58] but than i reinstalled it [16:58] rasha666: what partiion was it/z [16:58] test [16:58] Stinn: 2+=? [16:58] ext4///dev/sda2 [16:59] rasha666: so that was your / or /boot/ or /home? [16:59] so, uh, now I can't get any nvidia drivers to work [16:59] I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday. Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar. Is there any way to restore it? I've tried the configure menu and it doesn't work.

[17:01] Anyone here has ATI GPU's? [17:01] @dr_willis yes i installed it [17:01] Basil1x: saw it mentioned at webupd8 or omgubuntu, its some command ive never needed.

[17:06] MrOxy: you can always have a chat here #ubuntuforums [17:06] sowe: if the wmv is drm protected then linux wont be able to play it [17:07] MrOxy: it's not a support forum though [17:07] Anyone know of a PPA that provide gnutls >= 3.1.4? [17:07] rasha666: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:07] i want to tell something to gamers [17:07] If there are any Gamers here Please PM me [17:07] MrOxy: Please do not do that here. [17:07] sowe: ive also seen some wmvs with well.. lets say questionable codecs that require you to install specific things in windows.. [17:07] MrOxy: this is support chanel do you havve any question [17:08] sowe: but the error says missing plug0ins .. i am wondering if you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [17:08] MrOxy: check PM [17:09] dr_willis and Kart, http://askubuntu.com/questions/189811/required-plugin-could-not-be-found I have followed this manual. [17:09] MrOxy: there is #ubuntu-gaming [17:10] philinux: Only five people in that Channel [17:10] MrOxy: whoa teeming with peeps then lol [17:10] dr_willis: apparently the fixes online only work in versions prior to 12.04. [17:10] sowe: were you able to all 6 steps with no errors ? [17:11] Kart : yes [17:12] and the Extras restringidos de Ubuntu pakage it's installed [17:12] Is anyone familiar with UFW? I get a strange error which I cannot understand. UFW blocks port 53/udp even though I allowed it :-/ Therfore ssh connecting takes forever! [17:12] is noveau the default nvidia driver on ubuntu 12.10? [17:13] kdub: should be. [17:13] kdub: Only using nvidia gpus. [17:15] sowe: i would install vlc, run vlc from a terminal, try to play the video then look for errors in the terminal. and check the file info in the vlc menus... [17:15] to see what codec its using [17:15] sowe: have you followed these steps as well : http://onlinemeeting.lefora.com/2009/12/08/g2m3-codec-download/#post0 [17:17] tux9th: have you allowed it in both directions? [17:18] Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing) [17:18] 53/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6) [17:18] I assume outgoing is allowed [17:18] I added outgoing port 53/udp too didn't hlp [17:18] so, why would anyone disable adding shortcuts/applets on the top panel? [17:19] you can install applets that to to the top panel. [17:19] 'indicator-applets' askubuntu.com has a huge list of them [17:20] tux9th: I'd check the out too, covers the bases [17:22] well I don't think the out is the problem [17:22] why is ssh using port 53? ive missed somthingZ? or is my ssh skills lacking? [17:23] dr_willis: wat? [17:23] ssh using port 53? :P [17:23] ssh using port 22 [17:23] was mentioned that he neeeded to open port 53 for ssh.. [17:24] dns uses port 22 [17:24] *53 [17:24] not clear why he needd that [17:24] I opened port 53 [17:24] ssh is doing a reverse dns perhaps? [17:24] but it doesn't open [17:24] yeah ssh does a rdns request [17:24] but I can't get port 53 to open for some reason, I see in the log that request to port 53 are blocked [17:24] yet I do not know why [17:25] as I activated it [17:25] hmm.. i never opened port 53 on my router and i can ssh in quickly [17:27] nothing at all [17:28] sowe: did you try the one i mentioned in my earlier link ?

[19:02] Chakravanti: I'm not sure what WDE is. If you trying to install a customizable install, the minimal install image offers that. [19:02] DrGrov: oh for sure, if time isn't a luxury I wouldn't upgrade. EVen if my release was EOL [19:02] !minimal | Chakravanti [19:02] can anyone tell, how to configure slapd [19:02] Chakravanti: 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).

I'm french [19:47] !software | moonvoniron [19:47] moonvoniron: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [19:48] jrib: where are those? [19:48] thank you ! [19:48] Sta1ker: ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list, ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, you should also check what opens when you run x-www-browser [19:49] Sta1ker: there's also gnome-www-browser, what opens when you run that? [19:50] i am using parted to recover a lost ntfs partition. i type rescue and i am asked for the area that needs to be searched. i want parted to search from the beggining (0) till the end. how do i designate the end? i dont know what the actuall number would be [19:50] moonvoniron: A server that holds packages available for download "depot de logiciel" [19:50] moonvoniron: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [19:50] thank you :) [19:50] jrib: seems ok [19:51] Sta1ker: too vague of an answer [19:51] Does anyone know how to 'fix' the buggy wpa2 enterprise support(eduroam) on 12.04? [19:53] jrib: all files seems ok. thunderbird is not. i'll try chromium for a sec [19:53] Sta1ker: so what opens when you run x-www-browser? What happens when you run gnome-www-browser? [19:55] i'm lost [19:55] if i have a command "leerory" that i want to keep running, when the server starts and start again if it stops.. what program would i use? [19:56] Danielss89: upstart [19:56] !upstart | Danielss89 [19:56] Danielss89: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [19:56] Danielss89: see the cookbook [19:56] thx [19:56] Danielss89: you may be interested in "respawn" [19:56] moonvoniron: about? [19:58] Heya hiya. [19:58] jrib: can i install it without breaking anything? :D [19:58] The following packages will be REMOVED: [19:58] sysvinit [19:58] Danielss89: what ubuntu version is this...? [19:59] how can i check that ? xD [19:59] Danielss89: lsb_release -c [19:59] squeeze [19:59] Danielss89: that's debian, not ubuntu [19:59] Danielss89: squeeze is debian... [19:59] wtf.. lol [19:59] i'm on the wrong server xD [20:00] Danielss89: Wrong channel, more of [20:00] how to go on the ubuntu oftware center ? [20:00] theadmin: no i'm asking for my ubuntu server :D [20:00] mine is uninstalled [20:00] i just ssh'ed to the wrong server [20:00] moonvoniron: sudo apt-get install software-center then [20:00] moonvoniron: you run "software-center" in a terminal and what happens? [20:00] jrib: ok, the version is precise [20:01] Danielss89: you should already have upstart [20:01] Doh, connection dropped. Not sure if anyone answered me re the GSM modem sending SMSs ? [20:01] thank you :) [20:01] narcos: I don't even see your question in my scrollback [20:01] jrib: Hm, maybe my connection timed out before you saw it, lemme repaste [20:02] [20:02] Hi all. I'm trying to get my Huawei GSM USB modem to send SMSs from Ubuntu. I've used usb_modeswitch to get it out of mass storage and into modem mode, and I have a /dev/ttyUSB[0-3] [20:02] I'm now trying sms_client - but I get timeout errors [20:02] I suspect when it tries to communicate with the modem [20:02] narcos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:02] Err - not sure if you got those 3 lines before FloodBot1 intervened [20:03] narcos: yes, but next time just use a '.' instead of the enter key [20:03] narcos: We did. Don't Huawei modems come with their own driver software? iirc they have Linux support, although all connections have to be done through an ugly Java interface :/ [20:04] theadmin: Er, I'm not sure at all [20:04] jrib: OK, sorry [20:04] hi! This is going to sound really silly, but I think I need help filing a bug report on Launchpad. [20:04] you could always try talking directly to the gsm modem via minicom with at commands and see what happens [20:04] narcos: When I inserted my Huawei modem first, it was detected as /dev/sr1 (cd-rom device). I mounted that and installed the driver off there [20:04] narcos, theadmin - I think theadmin is right re Huawei stuff [20:04] need advanced testdisk user [20:05] ArcticLight: Normally you just do "ubuntu-bug packagename" from a commandline === Ool_ is now known as Ool [20:05] Edit, Software Sources error [20:05] theadmin, Stuz719: OK - mine was noted as a mass storage device - I'll dig around in there and see if there are some drivers. What exactly would I be looking for? .ko files? [20:06] ArcticLight: you can also visit #ubuntu-bugs where they are basically dedicated to helping you file bugs [20:06] theadmin: yes, I've got a .crash file, and I'm using ubuntu-bug, but when I press S to send the report, ubuntu-bug exits and I don't get the crash report page in my web browser... [20:06] narcos: Ah no, if I recall right there was a "Linux" directory with an "install.sh" inside or somesuch [20:06] jrib: Thanks, I'll check there. [20:07] ArcticLight: Eh. Sounds like you don't have a default browser set, or it's set to a non-existing file [20:07] ArcticLight: What desktop are you on? [20:07] theadmin: Great, thanks! [20:07] just done a g--gle for "huawei linux modem driver", try that. may come as a deb or rpm or sh script [20:07] why do you censor "google"... [20:07] * narcos goes hunting [20:08] for the lulz. maybe I should have said Bing ha ha# [20:08] narcos: You *may* need to copy all the files in "Linux" to a local directory due to the fact that the filesystem on the modem is read-only [20:08] I don't remember if I needed that [20:08] theadmin: I'm on ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit) on a laptop. Until just recently, ubuntu-bug worked correctly and would open reports in Chrome, which I have installed. [20:08] When I pull from a source server to my local server using --perms and sudo it does not retain ther source permissions. Am I doing something wrong? [20:08] this is with rsync [20:08] is there any software for linux that will allow you to read text from an image? what im wanting to do is read the text on the back of a lottery ticket, and on the front. so i dont have to type out 2000 tickets [20:09] how to run edit-software source ? please [20:09] acidrain you mean OCR stuff? [20:09] AcidRain2012: There's "gimagereader" [20:09] AcidRain2012: But I can't guarantee you the results will be great [20:09] Stuz719: correct [20:09] i have a huawei modem myself, it didnt require anything special to talk to it tho [20:09] Hello. [20:09] how to run edit-software source ? please [20:10] moonvoniron: gksudo software-properties-gtk [20:10] acidrain: tricky depends on font etc. try gimagereader as theadmin says... I think acrobat used to include OCR functionality... [20:10] thank you :) [20:10] but so long since i used it i can't remember [20:10] moonvoniron: Or just "sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list" [20:10] Stuz719: You're thinking of ABBYY Finereader [20:10] Stuz719: Adobe never had any OCR... [20:11] theadmin: you sure? convinced that acrobat had it... so long since i used it tho i cud be wrong === MagiAway is now known as Magiobiwan [20:11] Stuz719: Oh Acrobat Reader, I'm not using that since version... 5? came out... Switched to Okular/Evince [20:12] theadmin: nah, full acrobat. had some nice features but ultimately even the security features (sigs etc.) cud be bypassed by using other s/ware [20:12] chrome or ubuntu os? [20:12] it tells me "erreur logiciel" [20:13] moonvoniron: Well that's not English so I can't read that [20:13] permission invalide [20:13] theadmin: i think it means "logical error" ;-) === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial [20:13] hi, is the unity bar movable to bottom in 12.10? [20:13] Stuz719: Which makes no sense [20:13] i speak french, it means software error [20:13] I have 4:5 proportion on my screen [20:14] theadmin: unless you enter TRUE != TRUE or something?! [20:14] yes logical ! [20:14] Stuz719: That's not an error... (True != True) == False [20:14] sad... just read "rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial". What would Wensley Dale say? [20:14] Stuz719: Just some crazy mashup [20:15] Stuz719: lol [20:15] theadmin: depends on which logic you're using ;-) [20:15] what is the name of the program "movie player" in ubuntu? [20:15] hi, is the unity deskbar movable to bottom in 12.10? [20:15] crackerjackz: totem [20:15] jrib: ty [20:15] Hi since I upgraded some PCs to12.10 they are pretty slow and they are getting even slower the longer the system is up. Any suggestions how to solve this? [20:15] CPMMAND NOT FOUND [20:15] guys, logiciel means program or software -- logical = logiquement in frech [20:16] cheers monkeydust :-) [20:16] T|ASK, with that statement, you dont exactly explain exactly whats wrong.. [20:16] what did you upgrade from T|ASK ? [20:17] ah. did anyone ever figure anything about about the OCR? [20:17] my comp timedout === Wicked is now known as Guest57149 [20:17] blackness: I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and focusing windows takes up to 2 seconds [20:17] Did you install a updated nividia driver? [20:17] nvidia* [20:18] Software error when i want to do any things ! [20:18] blackness: yes, on my system I updated to the newest one 310 [20:18] acidrain google suggests tesseract [20:18] I really need help because this really blew my mind just now. I have external hdd encrypted with luks, unmounted it somewhere around an hour ago and password doesn't work anymore. Check on other pc and same effect. Does anyone have any idea of what happend and how to turn it back? [20:18] have you ran a simple benchmark? or checked top for a run away process? [20:19] blackness: but I use bumblebee, and it's running Intel chip right now, but is still slow [20:19] i dont know what bumblebee is, let me google. [20:19] Software error please help me [20:19] Hey. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 with the Windows Installer. Everything went well, and now on Start Up when it prompts me to choose an operating system, after I select Ubuntu the screen goes black. I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing ever changes [20:19] blackness: bumblebee is for hybrid graphics setups [20:19] > windows installer [20:19] > everything went well [20:19] T|ASK, bumblebee is supported up to 12.04..did you know this? [20:19] I doubt it [20:19] bumblebee.org [20:20] InTheZone: Is your Windows system 64-bit? [20:20] no 32 bit [20:20] inthezone sounds like you're lacking vid drivers. had the same myself and had to step from 10.10 thru 11.04 to 11.10. Not fun [20:20] InTheZone: Apparently WUBI doesn't work with 32-bit anymore for some insane reason and they never even warned anyone :/ [20:20] can someone help me? === Nick is now known as Guest45732 [20:20] InTheZone: I have the same thing and dunno if I can help. I suggest doing a proper install [20:21] spajderix: how did you umount? [20:21] problems: velocity of ubuntu in the virtual machine and ocr no function [20:21] moonvoniron: anything? [20:21] blackness: I can't imagine, because it's just switching graphic drivers on demand. I suppose, they just didn't update the info?! [20:21] I heard you can do something in the GRUB, like writing some code and stuff. [20:21] linux that may virtualbox related, not ubuntu related [20:22] linux: what spec if machine you're running ubuntu in a VM? [20:22] Stuz719: Well I just shut down my laptop and unplugged the hdd [20:22] I'm still having trouble filing this bug and #ubuntu-bugs is silent. Any ideas? [20:22] blackness: also, the other system is a normal PC (no bumblebee) but standard NVidia running with same issues [20:22] did you umount first? [20:22] spajderix: i guess it's USB? [20:24] Does anyone know of a decent printer/scanner (preferably network based) printer that'll work in Ubuntu 12.04? My searches result in minimal success. [20:24] spajderix: can you see the drive when you plug it in? [20:24] strategoc: home use- try Epson 435SX [20:25] strategos: sorry Epson 435SX [20:25] Stuz719: I'll look at that. Thanks. [20:25] Stuz719: Positive, it asks for pasword and shows me a message that there's no available key for a given one [20:25] need to look into one of those myself... [20:25] Strategos: may identify as a 430SX [20:26] Stuz719: I also tried to open it up from terminal with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 encr, but same effect [20:26] spajderix: try umounting it and then remounting [20:26] Is this ok? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1356382/ [20:26] spajderix: no available key sounds... bad [20:27] Looks like my system is running the INtel graphics chip... but why do I have these performance issues? [20:27] Stuz719: I've unplugged it and plugged it back if that's what you mean, I could try to reboot if it's going to help === root is now known as Guest37379 [20:28] spajderix: reboots often work miracles :-) but be careful of trying hotplugging it. I know USB is supposed to be resilient but..... [20:28] T|ASK try removing old kernels and sudo apt-get autoremove obsolote packages [20:28] T|ASK try removing old kernels and sudo apt-get autoremove to delete obsolote packages* [20:29] Stuz719: ok, I'll try the reboot and get right back here [20:30] hope it works out for spajderix [20:31] MonkeyDust: ok [20:31] Hellow hellow, anyone know how to unlock an external hard drive with pass (hdparm). Problem is, it doesnt recognize USER. I try --user-master marcus, and it says "User=master", I try --user-marcus and it says "User=user", its ridiculus.. [20:31] Still having trouble with ubuntu-bug, and #ubuntu-bugs isn't helping (it's silent) [20:32] T|ASK is internet slow, or the whole pc? [20:32] need advanced help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216825/recovering-deleted-ext4-ubuntu-partitions-using-testdisk-none-partition-media-t [20:33] Hellow hellow, anyone know how to unlock an external hard drive with pass (hdparm). Problem is, it doesnt recognize USER. I try --user-master marcus, and it says "User=master", I try --user-marcus and it says "User=user", its ridiculus.. [20:33] MonkeyDust: I just can say that focusing a window takes up to 2 seconds ... internet is ok [20:34] plz? or i might install windows.. then its byee ubuntu :{ [20:34] MonkeyDust: and the longer the system is up the slower it gets [20:34] MonkeyDust: but 2 seconds is after runnnign the system for a whole day eg [20:34] yello: that's a bit extreme - have you tried parted magic or similar? [20:35] it has an "Unlock.exe" that doesnt work with wine, i googled only way is hdparm.. [20:35] im not sure gparted or anything will solve :[ [20:36] how can I pass images continuously to ffmpeg and have it stream as webm? [20:36] any clue? [20:36] its a western digital drive... [20:36] yello: hmmm... sounds a tricky one. [20:38] yello: why would gparted or parted magic not work? they include hdparm [20:38] hhhzzzarn: Why did you select the option for a non partitioned disk? [20:38] yello: according to wikipedia anyway [20:38] spajdxerix: any joy? [20:38] ok, so how do i do? + is it dangerous? [20:38] spajderix: any joy? [20:38] Stuz719: not a bit :/ [20:39] :\ [20:39] now that sucks big times [20:39] yello: need a live CD/USB of relevant distro. And yes, playing with HDDs is always dangerous. Read the instructions. Read them again. And then read them again. back everything up. Check your backup works. Do it again. And then execute the command. [20:40] Jordan_u because I just tried and I saw my parititons listed in quick search [20:40] kk, but i rather download virtualbox tomorrow, and run password unlock on windows [20:40] just wanted an iso b4 i sleep, but nvm:D bye, and thanks;]] [20:41] spajderix: Grrr. Frustrating. I'm afraid I'm at the limits of my knowledge here... sorry :-( [20:41] spajderix: other than trying a live distro to try and access and back up the files elsewhere [20:41] hhhzzzarn: How much do you care about getting the data back and how much do you care about having a working system? [20:42] why does iconv 2.15 convert ö, ü, ä to o, u, a instead of oe, ue, ae? while iconv in version 2.11 on debian is fine... [20:42] Stuz719: no problem, thanks for your time man, kudos, I'm almost sure that the important data sits some other place one of my machines [20:42] hello, apparently the ubuntu community just jumps right on the logon channel? well hello everyone. [20:42] Stuz719: Yeah I tried another machine just a second ago with some older ubu/kernel with the same effect so no update did it [20:42] spajderix: YVW - hope it was of help. And at the risk of stating the obvious, here's a salutory lesson in data management. Back everything up. Test your backup. Then do it again. And then encrpyt! [20:43] Afraid I've got to go all. Thanks for having me along. See you all again soon. [20:44] I'm having an issue with Hydra/xHydra and the lack of ssh2 anyone care to take a crack at helping me figure it out? [20:44] \quit [20:45] hhhzzzarn: My guess is that what is happening is that you have a configuration which can't currently be represented with an msdos partition table (needs more than 4 primary partitions or a second extended partition, neither of which is possible), and that is why testdisk isn't showing the lost partitions when using the "Intel" option (which is a terrible name for the option, IMHO). [20:45] hey guys i got ubuntu 12.10 installed, and I installed xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, fine(i just want to try out the different DEs), but when I installed kubuntu-desktop apt-get gets to Updating Initramfs and just hangs there and does nothing === l8nighthorscht is now known as maX[pp] [20:46] anyone? [20:46] Jordan_U: ok. I don't care about the data on those because I could recover the data alone, I wanted to recover the partition so I don't have to install my programs again, do everything again. [20:46] i finally closed the terminal, changed initramfs.conf to not update and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, but is there something seriously wrong? i've reinstalled and tried it again and its the samething, it hangs on updating initramfs [20:47] or is this a question for #kubuntu? [20:47] hey guys, why does iconv 2.15 convert ö, ü, ä to o, u, a instead of oe, ue, ae? while iconv in version 2.11 on debian is fine... [20:47] if i was buying a graphics card for a htpc, running ubuntu - AMD / ATI? [20:47] which is prefereable / better supported [20:47] Uponatree: Those are the English equivalents. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [20:48] Err, sorry - misread. Disregard. [20:48] binary_glitch technically, your question is for this channel, but a distro like backtrack is specialized in network intrusion - guess you better ask there, but mind: it is not supported here [20:48] hhhzzzarn: Well, I can't help you there then. If you want the data, you can probably choose to have testdisk treat the disk as GPT, but that will break Windows (irreparably) and Ubuntu (temporarily). [20:48] Strategos: but why does the Debian version work fine? do I have to change some language settings? [20:48] uponatree: newer/less tested version i'd guess. search/file a bug. [20:48] Has anyone had any successing using pbuilder and getting past a "failed to connect to MYSQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'" error during a build for a package? The package's tests attempt a connection. [20:49] zykotick9: thanks, I'll have a look over there [20:49] successing... not a word. cripes. [20:50] Jordan_U, I will just go ahead and reinstall the ubuntu, thank you anyways [20:50] blackbox... and nobody's on our official channel plus we're on an italian server... I'm american, I don't speak italian, I don't even speak english, I speak american, and 5 other languages.... but no It. [20:50] Uponatree: I presume you would need to change them. But I misread your question initially; I didn't see that you had typed "o, u, a instead" for whatever reason. [20:50] hhhzzzarn: You're welcome. [20:51] Uponatree: As for myself, I'm still tinkering with trying to figure out how to actually make umlauts and accent marks. :) [20:51] anyone else interested in my question? [20:53] binary_glitch as soon as someone else has an answer, they will most probably help you - repeat your question every 15 minutes or so [20:53] Hi [20:53] Heya hiya. === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [20:53] Strategos: I had a look at the LANG var it states "C.UTF-8" on the Ubuntu system and "de_DE.UTF-8" on the Debian system. Then I changed the LANG var but the iconv output didn't change [20:54] binary_glitch: what problem are you having specifically? === viktor is now known as Guest39958 [20:54] okay... yeah this whole one channel on the server... everyone talks about everything is strange to me... oober busy to get herd...lol [20:54] I'm having an issue with Hydra/xHydra and the lack of ssh2 anyone care to take a crack at helping me figure it out? [20:54] what issue [20:54] specifically [20:54] I would like to know where to save yelp help pages so that they show up in Yelp under: Go -> All Documents [20:55] Hydra doesnt take ssh2 option, so I looked in xHydra, and it's not in the dropdown menu... wtf? === ania12lat is now known as ania13lat === axel__ is now known as _axel_ [20:56] guys off topic but does anyone know a quick way to edit a price list in word to add $50 to each price automatically? [20:56] I want to know how to get it back w/o downgrading a whole release ... [20:56] so it was working in the past? [20:56] hel p plz [20:56] and you updated [20:56] and now it isn't? [20:57] on blackbox 2 yes, now on blackbox 3 no [20:57] i tried installing ubuntu from usb but when it comes to the partition choose page it crashes without any partitions appearing [20:59] SeNO_>I'v had that same isue before let me look at my install issue records and see how i fixed it... what's your basic spex/ [20:59] What is the proper way to add mount options for proc in 12.10? [20:59] did you compile for source or install via some package maanger? [20:59] It comes pre installed [21:00] it's like bt, it's a pen-test'n distro' [21:00] oh [21:00] binary_glitch im totally noob [21:00] do you have it installed or are you running off a live CD? [21:00] If you have it installed, I'd make sure I had the latest version [21:01] and if the version available from the package manager isn't the latest, I'd grab the source and compile it myself. I believe the problem you are having is related to hydra not being compiled with LIBSSH support [21:01] SeNO_>okay while I try to find a record of how I solved a simular issue, why dont you tell us about your hardware specifications. [21:02] i guess rthe problem can be with my hard disks as there are two 500 hdd and 32 sd [21:03] processor intel i5 3317u [21:03] ddr3 4 gb ram [21:03] intel hd4000 [21:03] I couldn't see why it wouldn't be set up with libssh support, and I do have the op for ssh, just not ssh2... but I'm dl'dng hydra now... just incase. [21:04] binary_glitch: You are still using ssh1?! [21:04] binary_glitch , sorry i didnt get anything from what u were saying [21:05] lol it is setup by default...lol but I had support for both in bb2 [21:05] binary_glitch: ssh1 is... outdated, insecury, messy. Dont use it. Dont. Never. Even if the world stops turning. [21:06] oh, I'm also trying to find a solution to a password cracker for myself... lol [21:07] bekks, lol at "Even if the world stops turning." [21:07] Do you think the you could run a password cracker on a android proclaim? Theres gotta be a way to root it. [21:07] oh, SeNO_ I found my notes... do you have imos sata sdd controler on your systemboard? [21:07] ok i tried some things and now i can be more specific [21:08] when i try sudo update-initramfs -uv it hangs at Adding module /lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [21:08] anyidea how to fix this?

[21:11] how can i remove vmwgfx.ko from initramfs? i'm now using vmware [21:12] Can you use Linux ftp command to transfer only changed files? [21:12] Hi [21:12] BluPhenix316, is your vmware licensed? [21:12] hi there. when setting up a software raid 1, should i create two partitions with the full disk size first, or directly use /dev/sda and /dev/sdb for that raid array? [21:12] anyone know a repository with some useful third party software packages for a newly installed ubuntu system? [21:12] pradeep_: I don't have vmware installed [21:12] BluPhenix316: try removing that module from the area where update-initramfs is pulling them from [21:12] i'm running this natively [21:13] Snicers-Work2 you can with rsync -vv -- it's called 'incremental' === G-Squared is now known as Gregg [21:13] okAY [21:13] I am needing to push code to a windows server from linux, but I want to do it without pushing unchanged files, rsync is out. [21:13] BluPhenix316, just a honest question [21:13] heyas. In Quental, I would like dnsmasq to use the DNSs provided by the ISP as upstream servers, how can I do this? [21:13] Snicers-Work2 ok [21:14] Are working FN + F4 command in ubuntu 10.04? (switch monitor)? [21:14] What is the name of command in keyboard shortcuts? [21:15] hmm i removed it now it is hanging at adding module sis.ko [21:15] did you rebuild your kernel? [21:15] no [21:15] are you sure it is actually hanging? [21:15] and not just taking a while?

[21:17] BluPhenix316, using kubuntu 12.04 [21:17] so use to gnome [21:17] HELP, FN + F4 question! [21:18] Hi, you can get Ubuntu necklaces and earrings here for Christmas if you like. I do not benefit from this program. Proceeds go to putting Ubuntu computers in needy public schools: http://blog.partimus.org/?p=414 [21:18] pradeep_: well i'me experimenting with what DE I like the best === quesada_ is now known as urlwolf [21:18] sorry what is DE [21:18] ? [21:18] i've gotten kinda use to unity but i'm still a fan of xfce, but i haven't tried lxde or kde(last time i used KDE was back in the 90s) [21:18] Desktop Environment [21:19] well more specifically unity and gnome-shell are shells for the GNOME DE [21:19] FN + F4 command in ubuntu 10.04? [21:19] BluPhenix316, we use LXDE and Unity in public schools we support with Ubuntu computers (We = Partimus.org) [21:19] Name in keyboard shortcuts... [21:20] sorry got dc [21:20] BluPhenix316: are you specifying the correct kernel version when doing update-initramfs? [21:20] but this initramfs problem is bugging me, usually I can narrow it down to either figure out exactly where the problem is but i'm stumped [21:20] chaingun: i'm just doing a sudo update-initramfs -uv [21:21] i have dropped ubuntu for linux mint [21:21] using linux mint mate [21:22] chaingun: i did a sudo update-initramfs -uvk 3.5.0-18 and it finished but there was some errors [21:22] FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.5.0-18/modules.dep: No such file or directory [21:22] i think that is because i changed MODULES=most to MODULES=dep in initramfs.conf [21:23] nope changed it and same error [21:24] Is there anyone here in the SF Bay Area who would like to meet IRL to discuss what Partimus.org is doing with Ubuntu in public schools? [21:25] WWW.JIZZDAY.COM [21:25] WWW.JIZZDAY.COM [21:25] Pepote: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:25] chaingun: i figured out how to fix the problem, just don't install kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu hehe [21:25] cje2: that issue woul suit better in #ubuntu-offtopic . or the locochannel from SF [21:25] Hi guys. I can't get compiz fusion get to run [21:25] BluPhenix316: I don't like that answer lol. There is no reason why it shouldn't work [21:26] What's a good platform for VOIP communication via android / PC / IOS [21:26] Veryhappy: which desktop are you running and why would you start compiz fusion= [21:26] ? [21:26] chaingun: well other than that problem everything works fine [21:26] pradeep_ Desktop Environment [21:27] k1l, thanks for the tip. I put it here because all we use in the public schools we support is Ubuntu. It is quite exciting, so I thought that ppl here might be stoked to learn that Ubuntu is making it into public schools [21:27] ah i think i might also know what the problem is [21:27] MonkeyDust, i got that [21:27] all the kernel modules that are causing this problem i installed from x-edgers [21:27] k1l, Where is the local Ubuntu channel, do you happen to know? [21:27] K1l I use kde and I thought that I'd have to use compiz fusion to get advanced effects like water and fire effects and the popular cube === jono is now known as Guest38070 [21:28] Veryhappy: no, kde got own stuff for that [21:28] (as far as i know, im not using kde myselv) [21:28] kde has it's own compositing manager [21:29] unity, gnome-shell and I think xfce and lxde use GNOME as the backend so you can use compiz with them, but KDE is a completely different enviornment [21:29] K1l oh, ok how do I get that? I have the proprietary driver for my graphics already installed. What to do now? [21:30] Is Tango available for ubuntu [21:30] Hello all... I am having trouble with Xubuntu, ssh-agent, ssh-add and pkcs11 library. That is after running 12.10. Was OK in 12.04 :( [21:31] i tried installing ubuntu from usb but when it comes to the partition choose page it crashes without any partitions appearing, help plz [21:32] SeNo_: tried installing from a live-cd? [21:32] hmm this is annoying, you can use a metapackage like kubuntu-desktop to install everything but it you remove kubuntu-desktop it just removes the metapackage not the packages that it installed [21:33] BluPhenix316: Doesn't autoremove remove the left-overs? [21:33] jcuber what is live cd ? [21:33] Lachezar: nope [21:34] BluPhenix316: Then I suppose you could dig the /var/log/apt/history to take the package names. [21:34] Lachezar: aye, I was just think if you can install it one way you could remove it the same way to save myself some time [21:35] !livecd | SeNo_ [21:35] SeNo_: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [21:35] Is Ubuntu closing down if you don't get donations? [21:36] SeNo_: You can burn the ubuntu disk image (.ISO) file on a DVD, then works the same as a Live-USB [21:36] hello! how to know a size of application (MS Office 2010 that installing under wine)? [21:36] gaussblurinc_: You want to know the size before or after installing? [21:37] gaussblurinc_: use the disk analisys tool after installing? [21:37] jCuber: both, if this is possible [21:37] gaussblurinc_: Check the ~/.wine [21:37] Lachezar: i want to know a size of application before installation [21:37] gaussblurinc_: You should find the info from the developer's website [21:38] I dont see any popup-menu on my ubuntu 12.04 Classic Ubuntu Desktop [21:38] Everytime I click any type of menu it just dont show it. Right click, appplication menu etc. Just any type of menu [21:38] jCuber: developers of MSOffice or wine'developers? [21:39] gaussblurinc_: *shrug* Under Windows/Wine: tough luck. [21:39] ok i'm at wits end - TRYING to install 12.10 / 4 hdd / raid 10; that failed miserably; i've rm'd sda from the raid and 0-superblock, trying to install on it; but partman continues to hang @50%. I've chk'd log, seen LOTS of hits about bugs, and NO solutions.... === Ex0deus is now known as Guest79210 [21:40] i would be happy to deal with this manually - have already partitioned sda, and mkfs; but installer complains disk not part'd yet [21:41] gaussblurinc_: You can find out how much space it wasted by checking the size of the .wine directory before and after the installation, but other than that it's a guess-work. === ubuntu is now known as Guest39471 [21:41] gaussblurinc_, doesn't the office installer tell you how much space it's going to need when you're selecting what to install (in custom install)? [21:41] gaussblurinc_: Under whoever made Office 2010 (Microsoft). Their website shows you need a minimum of 3GB [21:42] gaussblurinc_: Be sure to check out the open-source alternative, OpenOffice [21:42] Q: When not using the terminal but the graphic interface, how can I have admin permissions sudo ? I want to move a folder to /opt/ thanks! [21:43] jCuber: yeah, my neighbour said me about it now, i will install it [21:43] shwaiil: open the file manager with sudo [21:43] <_axel_> shwaiil, use "gksudo nautilus" [21:44] jCuber: _axel_ thanks a lot! [21:44] shwaiil: No problem. === len is now known as Guest42889 [21:45] Installing programs in /opt/ is that ok ? I feel like I'm always forgetting where to find them installing it here [21:45] I'm trying to access folder shared from Ubuntu with W7. I've managed to make it visible for windows, but whatever I do with samba users it says I have no permission. It never asks for password, or anything. Any ideas how to fix it? [21:45] shwaiil: Aren't the executables in /usr/bin/ ? [21:46] jCuber: I've installed "Blender" under /opt/ just moved the folder and then I then think I did a simlink there in /usr/bin/ [21:46] then had to create a file to place a shortcut in the left sidebar in this new ubuntu [21:46] so complicated :P [21:46] mike_papa, is ubuntu on a vm or a separate computer? [21:46] jCuber: I just wonder if I did the right think [21:46] heres a weird thing, ubuntu 12.10. random my sound will fade from LSpeaker, to Rspeaker, then equal out. any ideas? [21:46] alof: seperate. [21:46] s/random/randomly [21:47] alof: Ubuntu asks me for password when I try to access it, and... none of paswords I've entered works... strange. [21:47] shwaiil Uhh I don't really pay attention to such things myself :D I just take the easiest way to make it work [21:47] <_axel_> shwaiil, why not installing blender from sofware center? === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [21:47] is there any way to get 'inertia scrolling' (like we have for touchpads) on a mouse wheel? [21:48] jCuber: yeah I used to do the same thing, but got this new computer with SSD and just wanted to make thinks correctly, so I could have readonly stuff in the right place [21:48] guruguy: did someone help you out, or are you still waiting? [21:48] _axel_: oh yeah because the latest version wasn't available there :X [21:48] still waiting [21:48] shwaiil, that's the right place for external software if you want to follow standards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard) [21:48] _axel_: it's behind some versions :P [21:48] alow: is there any way to get rid of authorization at all? I don't need it. [21:48] ceran: thanks! Isn't there a fast or easy way to put shortcuts in the sidebar ? [21:49] don't understand why I had to create a file to create a shortcut..why not just drag and drop, strange [21:49] guruguy: when you did it manually, what partition type did you use? [21:49] mike_papa, samba uses specific user groups and user names to access/share files. i'm shooting in the dark here but guessing that your windows username doesn't have sufficient permissions w/i samba to access the files [21:49] shwaiil, sorry, can't comment, I usually run commands by bringing up the Run dialog and typing the command name; my default desktop is basically empty === unbounced is now known as thepacer [21:50] ceran: ok tks [21:50] am using gpt part table, with normal linux part's using ext2 and ext3 [21:50] sorry - how do you reply? [21:50] mike_papa, have you read this: http://milindpadalkar.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/sharing-folders-using-samba/ [21:50] Q: Anyone know how to easily place Shortcuts into the left sidebar ? Without having to create the "file" to show stuff there (can't remember the name) [21:50] Thanks! [21:51] alof: no... I haven't read this one. thanks. I'll try it. [21:52] the parition table is fine to use as gpt, but the parition TYPE must be set to Linux RAID [21:52] what paritioner are you using? [21:52] urlwolf: I think if somebody made that kind of software, you'd have a lot if delay because the software would need to smoothen the hardware's input. Logitech used to make mouses which had hardware-based kinetic scrolling [21:53] sorry - i did have part type as raid - when i tried raid 10 install - such a fail.... so i dropped sda from raid and reset part's to nbormal linux [21:54] guruguy: You might want to try the Ubuntu Forums if you can't get an answer here [21:54] i'm using parted - only thing the install provides me that understands gpt - hate it [21:54] guruguy: Do you have the individual drives partitioned? [21:55] i do have ind. drive partitioned - sda is now a "stand alone" drive; sd[b-d] are still in raid 10 [21:55] !raid [21:55] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [21:55] Does anyone know of a Ubuntu list for the SF Bay Area? [21:56] ok, and how can I delete user that is not logged in, and userdel says he is? [21:56] !tab | guruguy [21:56] guruguy: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:56] :) [21:56] Oops, what I meant was does anyone know of an IRC channel for Ubuntu for the San Francisco Bay Area? [21:56] guruguy: Your last comment seems contradictory. If you have the individual drives partitioned, then it should be "sda1" and "sdb1" which are RAID members, not "sda" and "sdb" (it may sound like an esoteric distinction, but it's important). [21:56] TAB! TYVM!! :) [21:58] cje2: Isn't the global one enough? If we have less than 2k users here, I don't think we need channels for individual cities :D [21:58] !pm guruguy [21:58] !pm | guruguy [21:58] guruguy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:59] guruguy: To put it another way, are your RAID members whole drives or partitions? [22:00] I'm trying to install a .run file and whenever I try to enter chmod +x file.run [22:00] ok - the raid install failed in more ways than i want to try explain :-) so i've removed sda from raid - re-partitioned w/ 0x83 part's; and attempting standalone install on only sda [22:00] It tells me it cannot access, no such file or directory exists [22:00] sd[b-d] remain in raid 10 array [22:01] alusion: You're making a typo (probably you're in the wrong dir) [22:01] blsecres: found the solution. after the last server reinstall there was no german locale, so the iconv transliterate could only use the english locale which leads to a instead of ae [22:01] I am in the right directory I am sure >_< deadmund [22:01] OH [22:01] I see now. [22:01] my intent is to install on only sda as a "normal" install; and then i will manually move entire installation to raid, and re-add sda afterward [22:01] I didn't finish typing it [22:02] guruguy: You aren't answering my question. [22:02] I had an older version and I forgot to enter the last of the version # haha [22:02] hello. I have a question that is completely not relevant to linux/ubuntu. can I ask? [22:02] sorry - to complete that thouigyht - raid members are partitions [22:02] Guest13329: not in here [22:03] !ot [22:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:03] where can I? [22:03] Guest13329: What's the question about? [22:03] it's a bit complicated [22:03] so i have multiple md's (md[1-6] ) [22:03] long story short I need to download a file [22:03] but the site will only let users of a russian ISP download [22:03] jCuber: you mean that scrollwheel without stops? [22:03] I need someone with said isp to download the file for me [22:03] heh [22:03] Guest13329: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:03] ops, sorry, I type too fast [22:03] and sda matches that exact layout - sda[1-6] [22:03] Guest13329: maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:04] thank you [22:04] Guest13329: Proxy? [22:04] there's an autohotkey script (windows) that implements this. [22:04] it requires a specific ISP, do proxies cover that? [22:04] hey all [22:04] Anyone familiar with teamspeak here? [22:04] urlwolf: What type of script? [22:04] i know teamspeak [22:04] just measure the number of 'clicks' per second, if faster, then increase the nb of lines scrolled [22:05] anyone know a good cli utility for browsing an xml document? [22:05] urlwolf: Tried searching online for "linux equivelant to (script or program herr)"? [22:05] graft: links or lynx? [22:06] graft: perhaps it might also w3m do the job [22:06] help with bluetooth adapter not present [22:06] ubuntu 12.10 [22:06] jCuber: it was in an obscure post on a forum [22:06] no name [22:06] !bt [22:06] quantal, bluetooth adapter not present... help pls [22:07] !bluetooth | dsenator [22:07] dsenator: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [22:07] see you guys [22:07] alusion: yes familiar with TS, what you need? [22:07] jCuber, ubottu thanks let me check it out... it was there but it broke at some point I guess [22:08] Hi I was updating from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12 and my update got interrupted. Ubuntu will now not boot up. I inserted the Live CD and booted, what I'm using now. Can I repair my partion this way? [22:08] graft: just browsing, try lynx [22:08] I don't know how to start it [22:08] theslow2, ubuntu 12.04, I just installed it [22:08] Hi all, I am having some upgrading issues (from 12.04 to 12.10). Is this a good place to ask? [22:09] I am unable to do release upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 (even after ticking the "For any new version" option in the synaptic package manager). When I run do-release-upgrade, it says "No new release found". Any suggestions? [22:09] I've tried sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo chroot /mnt apt-get update; apt-get upgrade with no luck === Guest13329 is now known as Dynamo128 [22:09] alusion: the client or server, and how did you install TS? [22:09] theslow2, the client -- I installed it via the main linux download, TeamSpeak3-Client-Linux_amd64.run [22:10] ubottu, the page only has documentation tof 10.04 and 11.04 not 12.10 [22:10] dsenator: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:10] sorry mormans came to talk to me... SeNO_ did you get your issue resolved? [22:10] nyone know why moving a 10.04 install to a new computer causes virtualbox VMs (and minecraft too) to fail to start? [22:10] hi, my wireless suddenly stops working and i can only use it again after reboot. any ideas? [22:10] Daxter: how did you move it ?

[22:13] deadmund: yes - that's why i am here :) [22:13] ok - let me try a different approach - partman hangs at 50% - there appear to be complaints and bug reports all over the place about this. i've seen no solutions. does anyone know how to fix the hanging partman (on install) issue? [22:13] Daxter: I have set it to "For any new version" [22:13] alusion: give me 1 minute and my download will be complete.

[22:32] deadmund: back [22:32] I don't have a wifi switch [22:32] chris_: have you tried blackisting the linux driver and using ndiswrapper for the adapter driver? [22:32] (looking), no no buttons or anything. just the one way up on my keyboard, but that's always blue [22:32] ikonia, i got some problems getting some new lens to work, installed the wiki lens and i dont figure out how to use it, when i type somehting nothing shows [22:32] yes l3top that's right [22:32] no, Daxter i havent. how would i do that?

[22:34] bdeluca: its not needed because the automatism is doing a good job. but if you need it you can make a xorg.conf [22:34] mmm too many mentions of ndiswrapper lately [22:34] lol yeah [22:34] ikonia: do-release-upgrade -d works!!!! Mmike@xubuntu irc helped [22:35] ddash: that's bad [22:35] where is the error log file? [22:35] ddash: you should not use -d [22:35] moonvoniron: did you tried with arrow keys [22:35] it's sad makers are again with 'do not make/release drivers for linux' [22:35] ddash: 12.04 to 12.10?

[22:38] chris_: witch one you are trying to blacklist? [22:38] Fellaa remember that chris_ here just installed linux for the first time some time ago [22:38] Im very very new to this :) === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [22:39] seems no solution to bluetooth adapter not found issue [22:39] ah chris_ there is a module that your adpater runs off of. bliacklsiting it preventsit from loading, so you can use a replacement driver. [22:40] oh i see. where do i get this replacement driver and keep it active for ever? [22:40] zvacet no, [22:40] i see this blacklisted in the gedit [22:40] # causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces [22:40] blacklist eth1394 [22:41] purging removes the left-over configuration files, right? is it possible to reset the configuration files without uninstalling the packages, after several dist-upgrades, to get a "clean" install? [22:41] im on wifi, so not sure if this effects anything [22:41] your module wont be lsited normally in there [22:41] moonvoniron: sorry no what? [22:41] for arrow keys [22:41] smj: I suppose it's possible. [22:41] smj: apt-get install --reinstall (package)? === thepacer is now known as unbounced [22:42] jCuber: how about all the packages? [22:42] where would I get this wifi module and make it my default so no others will try to take over killing my internet connection? [22:42] and does that remove the configurations? [22:42] as far as replacement driver, this is where it gets tricky. its never the same for different hardware it seems. to use another dirver youll have to google or something for it. not fun. or use ndiswrapper, which piggybacks off of the windows driver for the hardware. [22:42] moonvoniron : is it just hiting enter or you have to select ok [22:43] ok sounds like ndiswrapper is easy. How do i launch this app? [22:43] it's not easy [22:43] smj: So you want a completely new install, or just certain packages? === babilen_ is now known as Guest83817 [22:43] completely new install [22:43] !ndiswrapper | chris_ [22:43] chris_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:44] smj: Why not just reinstall via a Live-DVD/USB?

[22:45] smj: Then it's a bit hard to reinstall [22:45] duh..you have to install ndiswrapper [22:46] ndiswrapper is not installed it sais [22:46] you have to install ndiswrapper [22:46] in order to sue it [22:46] use* [22:46] smj, maybe ask your friends to borrow an USB disc or buy some DVDs from a store (probably 0,50 - 2€ per disc) [22:46] ok installing it now [22:46] i did the command sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [22:47] is ubuntu 12.10 still using upstart as init process? === seanvk_ is now known as seanvk [22:47] smj: Haa I meant usb-drive, not disc [22:47] POVaddct: yes [22:47] jrib: thanks [22:47] guys wasnt there a GUI for ndiswrapper?

[22:50] youll need the windows driver, extracted, not a .exe [22:50] deadmund: didn't work :( [22:50] its been so long since i used this.... [22:50] benedict_: What exactly isn't working? [22:51] ok no problem. where does one find drivers for the hp G60 - 635DX notebook ? [22:51] hp's website? [22:51] Hi, all - I forget the package name for the most commonly used flash plugin.

The "| cje2" tells him to address you with the information (yes, inspired by bash's pipe syntax) [23:22] hello [23:22] well..got 3.6 [23:22] blackness: 3.6 of what? [23:22] is there something wrong with ubuntu repos in 12.04? [23:22] 3.6.0 kernel on 12.10 [23:23] all of my desktops here are 'hanging' on apt-get update [23:23] all seemingly in different places [23:23] digitalirony, hanging? [23:23] digitalirony: your internect connection is a constant as well [23:23] blackness: Thats no official kernel package, isnt it? [23:23] yeah, its fiber [23:23] Anyone has experience with dependency issues, where Aptitude's solution is to remove a lot of packages? [23:23] just sitting on 100% waiting for headers [23:24] svip: support for aptitude has been dropped [23:24] svip: what ubuntu version? [23:24] jrib, wow, thx for that tip. Kinda cool. [23:24] jrib: 11.10. [23:24] ubottu: tell cje2 about yourself [23:24] cje2, please see my private message [23:24] so, this isn't happening to anyone else? [23:25] svip: yes, aptitude in before 12.10 has issues with multi-arch. It should be in the release notes (and you can find a bug in launchpad) [23:25] s/in// [23:25] jrib: has 12.10 resolved this ? [23:25] jrib: I thought it had just been removed ? [23:25] bekks, thx for that link [23:25] ikonia: yes (well at least according to the changelog and the bug report) [23:26] ikonia: Aptitude hasn't come standard with Ubuntu for a long time. [23:26] g'day, i'm trying to get usb redirection in qemu-kvm workgin with 12.04, however when i add a usb redirection device to a guest and try to start it, i get "USB redirection is not supported by this version of QEMU". is there something i'm missing or does the qemu-kvm that comes with 12.04 really not support this? [23:26] jrib: aptitude is back in 12.10 [23:26] svip: I know this, I've just said it's not supported [23:26] I'd like to setup a single volume group across multiple pv's. But sdb5 is listed as swap space? & sda{1,2,3} = linux, extended, linux lvm. [23:26] How do I set aside the system files & swap space on 1 hdd. & partition everything else as a volume group? I have a picture of 'fdisk -l' if it helps. [23:26] Does anyone here use Ubuntu on an HP laptop with "Beats Audio"? [23:26] jrib, heh, thanks again for prompting the bot. Rather amazing, actually. I will put that info in my list of resources. [23:26] ikonia: That's not the same. [23:27] im using chatzilla on firefox anyone know a good version for opera [23:27] svip: errrr, so ubuntu would ship unsupported software with it by default..... [23:27] ikonia: No, but just because it doesn't ship with it, doesn't make it unsupported. [23:27] jrib: Can I make it work with apt-get then? Or something? [23:27] svip: yes, but it IS unsupported [23:27] svip: hence why it was removed [23:28] svip: make what work? [23:28] no on opera [23:28] I can't get ALSA to recognize the subwoofer of my 4.1 surround sound system (yes, 4.1, not 5.1) [23:28] jrib: The dependency issue. [23:28] svip: what dependency issue? === i3luefire__ is now known as i3luefire [23:29] jrib: I'm confused, should one add :i386 to its name to install a 32bit package? === Sm0kEz is now known as Sm0kEzZzZZZzZZ [23:29] e.g. libasound2:i386 === n00b13 is now known as n00b982 [23:30] svip: I don't recall what version that was introduced. At least in 12.04 it was that way [23:30] jrib: Yeah, I've seen that as well. :/ [23:30] svip: I suppose if that functionality is available to you in 11.10, then that's how you should do it. [23:30] Any tips? [23:30] svip: (you still haven't stated your actuall issue) [23:31] jrib: My actual issue seems to be something to do with multiarchitecture. [23:31] svip: ok, but can you just tell us what your issue is? [23:31] Depends: libjpeg-turbo8:i386 but it is not installable [23:31] svip: Do you have any problems when using apt-get rather than aptitude? [23:31] Jordan_U: Yes, the same problems. [23:31] svip: you should pastebin full input and output [23:32] Using "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv7-4000" gets me 4.0 out of my 4.1 speakers [23:32] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1356799/ [23:32] Is this a bad place to ask my lvm question? I honestly don't need help with lvm. I just don't understand why my second hd: sdb{1,2,5} = linux, extended, linux swap.... While my first hd: sda{1,2,5} = linux, extended, linux lvm. I just don't know what I'm allowed to format and what it means. [23:32] svip: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install". [23:33] hrmm [23:33] its the 'extras' repo [23:33] it seems to be lagging or something [23:33] I just downloaded the HP60 wifi drivers. Can someone please teach me how to install them? I keep getting kicked off the internet every hour and have to connect to another wifi to get online again. I'm running out of wifi connections in my building to connect to :P [23:33] Jordan_U: That just removed the package causing trouble for now. [23:34] svip: you simply don't have the requirements for that steam package available afaict [23:34] deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main [23:34] ^ thats the line that causes apt-get update to hang [23:34] can someone help me install them please? [23:34] Jordan_U: (So I am gonna do that for now, so I can upgrade.) [23:34] jrib: You mean those packages are not available for 11.10? [23:35] tinah ? [23:35] svip: well libc6 is what I checked, and yes, you don't have libc6 that satisfies that version requirement in ubuntu 11.10 [23:35] Hmmm, sad. [23:36] svip: why not upgrade ubuntu? [23:36] Why stay with ubuntu 11.10 [23:36] ryan_C: For now? To avoid Unity, but then again, I am using XFCE, so I don't think it matters. [23:36] svip: right, xfce is still there :) [23:37] I upgraded to 12.10 then had to downgrade to 12.04 because i keep getting error message then my pc would freezethen i would have to restart [23:37] ryan_C: I think I am gonna stay at 12.04. [23:37] And ubuntu 12.04 works very very nice for me its fast [23:38] svip: It's explicitly stated multiple times that the Steam Beta requires Ubuntu 12.04 or newer, it was never going to work in Ubuntu 11.10. [23:38] But i need to learn some more commands for the terminal i only know sudo apt-get install wine [23:38] Jordan_U: Make sense. [23:38] I saw that on youtube when i was looking for commands lol [23:38] ryan_C: until you try to use the extras repository....it seems to be down [23:39] ryan_c check box-admin.com [23:39] While using 12.04 LTS is there any way to upgrade a package to its latest version, whichever the repository? [23:39] PedroP: apt-get install 'packagename' [23:40] digitalirony: well, but my repositories don't have the latest package [23:40] PedroP: then you can download a .deb package of the newer version and try to do it manually, or look for 3rd party repos [23:40] however if you do it manually you will see allll kinds of dependancy issues most likely [23:41] PedroP, what package ? maybe the dependencies don't match [23:41] or may not even be able to find a .deb package, and have to compile it from source [23:41] I guess the package I want is available [23:41] but not on my repositories [23:42] at least, it's here: https://launchpad.net/backupninja [23:42] PedroP: then you have to use other repositories, or download and install with dpkg -i [23:42] ahh, just add the launchpad.net repos if you want [23:42] make sure you read on what that entails though [23:42] the pros and cons of using a 3rd party repo [23:42] you could compile from source as long as no dependency issues, ./configure;make;make test;make install [23:42] digitalirony: ok, but will that have any impact on my other packages? [23:42] there is usually a reason its not included in the official repos [23:43] PedroP: yes, it can [23:43] PedroP: thats why I say you will want to read what implications it might have [23:43] digitalirony: I'm not really sure how, to be honest [23:43] LovesLinux: a better suggestion would be to use checkinstall (see "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for details) [23:43] pedrop yes it wont update your package managers db and unless you use check install probbably wont have an uninstaller [23:44] PedroP: how to do what [23:44] pedrop use it as a last resort [23:44] hey guys, i installed the steam beta and want to remove it, its not in my lubuntu software center, any idea how i can remove it? thanks [23:44] I'm kind of getting confused [23:45] I just wanted to install a single package from a different repo. "Raring", for example [23:45] marcio: apt-get remove packagename [23:45] any one have screen shots of there desktops ? [23:45] PedroP: just download the package from that website, there should be a link for a .deb file [23:45] homecable: why does it matter? theres web sites out with eyecandy desktop screenshits [23:45] pedrop Im old skool linux people more familiar with Ubuntu can probably give more user friendly advice [23:45] then do 'dpkg -i package.deb' [23:45] i think i might convert just want to see whats out there as to what people are using as there desktop [23:45] digitalirony: ok, that's an idea, thanks. [23:46] BUT [23:46] marcio: did you use a DEB to install? if so, "dpkg -l | grep steam" to find the package name, then "sudo apt-get remove STEAMNAMEHERE" [23:46] you will probably end up chasing dependancies if you do that [23:46] homecable: ubuntu uses Unity as the default. youtube has dozens of videos of it in use [23:46] digitalirony, i tried that but it didnt work [23:46] digitalirony: ah... [23:46] zyko i did, let me try that [23:46] digitalirony: i get that... [23:46] steam beta :) beyond support if you ask me [23:46] thanks [23:46] marcio: sorry, you might need to use "dpkg -l | grep -i steam" [23:47] i want something light abd useable for steam and videos mp3s firefox [23:47] PedroP: ok, np. Thats really the only simple way to do it without adding a 3rd party repo [23:47] !tab > marcio [23:47] marcio, please see my private message [23:47] homecable: try FVWM-crystal [23:47] homecable: lubuntu is the lightest full featured desktop , then xubuntu, then its a tossup which is heaver. ;) kde, unity, gnome-shell.. [23:48] homecable: or if you are technical, try awesome...but you prolly won't like it [23:48] but if you really WANT to go super light weight, get ratpoison o.0 [23:48] but, you won't like that either [23:48] homecable: if you got a system good enough to play most of the games on steam.. then the system should handle unity fine [23:48] be careful though [23:48] lxde isn't very fast [23:49] zyko it worked! thanks a lot man! [23:49] lxde seems fast at what it does here.. given how little it does. ;) [23:49] homecable xfce or mate are the ones you want to try if you like gnome2 [23:49] dr_willis: yeah, but it's written to be small, not fast [23:49] marcio: I think FVWM-crystal will be something you would like if you try it. super fast [23:49] tty1 suits me :) === Xsys is now known as DarKMode [23:49] cant say ive noticed it being slow at all. [23:49] I like awesome [23:49] i really love this irc, the ubuntu community and this room, you guys are always such great help [23:49] digitalirony, what is that? [23:49] should my menus be poping up faster or somthing. ;) [23:49] dr_willis: if memory isn't an issue, it can be outperformed by "heavier" WMs [23:50] marcio: its a desktop system as you call it [23:50] replacement for gnome [23:50] digitalirony: I tried awesome but I couldn't get it to work at all [23:50] its super light, and has many features [23:50] yeah awesome is hard for most people to use [23:50] i am using lubuntu right now [23:50] digitalirony: yeah, I don't really want "hard to use" [23:50] jwm ;) + rox filer [23:50] I use arch linux + awesome on my PC [23:50] I only use ubuntu for my 'customers' here [23:50] digitalirony: I used to use arch, but it got in my way [23:51] gordonjcp: yeah use FVWM-crystal then [23:51] digitalirony: I spent more time fixing it than actually getting work done [23:51] its easy, and light weight, its reaaaly neat [23:51] digitalirony: gosh, fvwm, that's a blast from the past [23:51] mate looks good ? [23:51] awesome is great, had it running on my arch laptop [23:51] gordonjcp: I don't have that issue at all [23:51] digitalirony: no thanks, I'll stick with Unity [23:51] ewww [23:51] @digital irony, i agree with you [23:51] why waste RAM on that shit [23:51] digitalirony: because it's fast and makes my life easier [23:51] which is kind of the whole point of using computers [23:52] I think as my technical skill goes up, using that stuff gets in my way [23:52] I like to not have to move my hands [23:52] digitalirony: maybe, maybe not [23:52] digitalirony: how do you type, then? [23:52] Matter of opinion [23:52] I think the linux community at large tends to agree [23:52] hehe [23:52] in system settings>hardware>additional drivers is locked , why ? [23:52] all of the 'old skool'/programmers aren't using unity or gnome I promise [23:53] gordonjcp: I move my fingers not my hands [23:53] digitalirony: I disagree [23:53] Guys [23:53] * kickingvegas uses Unity, happy with it. [23:53] digitalirony: anyway, this is more for #ubuntu-offtopic [23:53] #offtopic or PM :)) [23:53] yeah [23:53] I know [23:53] im off my rant [23:54] can someone help me ? [23:54] moonvoniron: maybe [23:54] anyone know if quakelive works in lubuntu? i downloaded a plug in thats needed but cant seem to install it [23:54] * jCuber knows you know, but someone did ask a question [23:54] how? [23:54] digitalirony: stuff like awesome where you need to edit 2000 lines of Haskell is *great* if you want to use a computer for playing with computers [23:54] digitalirony: it's less fun if you actually want to *use* the thing as a tool [23:54] marcio: it should work in most any desktop [23:54] gordonjcp: awesome doesn't use haskell [23:54] thats xmonad [23:54] digitalirony: whatever it is that it uses, to get it to not be tiny grey-on-grey text [23:54] I can't find a way to get the a field value having the request or the form objects, anyone? [23:54] digitalirony: ah, you're right [23:54] so stfu until you know what youa re talking about [23:54] moonvoniron, How can we help you [23:55] digitalirony: anyway, it's not fun [23:55] makes me laugh Linux has xfce gnome-shell, xfce, mate and yeah even kde m$ has explorer32.exe [23:55] gordonjcp: you dont' have to do that on awesome.... [23:55] dr_willis, when i try it i get an .xpi plug in [23:55] at least not anymore than any other system [23:55] how do i install it?

[23:56] thanks gordonjcp im just looking for ppl to talk :) [23:56] digitalirony: anyway, there is at least one "old school" programmer using Unity [23:56] digitalirony: I used to use my own WM, but let's be honest, there are more useful things I can do with my time [23:56] I am sure there is atleast one, exceptions prove rules [23:56] stallman using unity? [23:56] lol [23:57] but REAL hackers use consoles [23:57] cje2: His "Additional Drivers" in the Hardware menu is locked [23:57] +1 [23:57] and use sed/ed/awk/cat [23:57] not even vim [23:57] digitalirony: no, real hackers use the right tool for the job [23:57] gordonjcp: which isn't unity lolol [23:57] jCuber, Oh, I don't know anything about that. sorry [23:57] digitalirony: anyone who starts all that "oh I only ever use CLI" nonsense is wasting their time and yours [23:57] anyway hush, im done, im not argueing with a wall [23:58] !ot | digitalirony LovesLinux [23:58] digitalirony LovesLinux: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Jesus christ everyone has their opinion, and you obviously need to go to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:58] LovesLinux: the person using Windows might know more about Windows [23:58] why not then gordonjcp?
