| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| chris_ | it has something to do with my wifi i think. I never ever had wifi issues with win, so it must be a setting in linux | 00:18 |
| chris_ | every distro had this prob | 00:18 |
| chris_ | mint, this one and dsl as well | 00:18 |
| chris_ | i prefer this one, so i want to get wifi working with this | 00:19 |
| k1l | MaGeD_: noone can guarantee that. better have a backup | 00:19 |
| chris_ | Oh it works because i have a MAC and windows machine on the wifi network and they work | 00:19 |
| chris_ | it's just this system. It's duel boot and my windows on this machine works | 00:19 |
| blackshirt | chris_, your deduction was not true | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | chris_: well nobody can help you unless you're connected to it | 00:19 |
| chris_ | ah, rats. ok. | 00:20 |
| chris_ | anything i can try while im connected to it? | 00:20 |
| MaGeD_ | k1l : Thanks , the reason i want to upgrade , is becoz the ( split into volumes ) options is not working at all , grayed out , do u have a fix for that | 00:20 |
| blackshirt | chris_, not all thing works on win would works on linux too | 00:20 |
| chris_ | I went into network connections and tried deleting and re-entering the wifi network wep key | 00:20 |
| frankko | I get no network in ubuntu today.. it worked before i went to bed yesterday | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | chris_: ping 4.2.2.2, ifconfig, ping google.com, ping your router, ping other computers | 00:21 |
| chris_ | ok i'll try that | 00:21 |
| chris_ | thank you and sorry for the head ach. I just really am enjoying linux now and don't want to have to go back to windows for good. | 00:22 |
| chris_ | i'll try the ifconfig and come back with the results | 00:22 |

| chris_ | my "home" wifi network i'm getting a http://pastebin.com/6Guickig I don't get it. My home network works on all other comps. It was working on linux an hour ago. Now it just stoped working | 00:29 |
| pepee | kieppie, read the manpage: apt-get and apt.conf | 00:29 |
| chris_ | getting a 127.0.0.1 | 00:29 |
| chris_ | i cant ping anything on my "home" router network | 00:30 |
| chris_ | my security is off too | 00:30 |
| chris_ | no wep | 00:30 |
| Ben64 | chris_: thats the local interface "lo" it is always 127.0.0.1 | 00:30 |
| chris_ | oh. | 00:30 |
| chris_ | I turned off the wep key so it's hidden, but open | 00:30 |

| Ben64 | thats your network | 00:30 |
| kieppie | hi pepee. I have a USB installer. I have some code I want to echo some code into my apt config before the install's `apt-get update` initiates at boot. I want to modify the USB media prior to firing up the host | 00:30 |
| chris_ | oh. so it IS connecting to the router then. | 00:30 |
| pepee | MaGeD_, you can do that from the command line: tar czf mariem.tar.gz /home/<your_user_here>/Desktop/mariem/ | 00:31 |
| kieppie | kieppie - if I know what script is called to initiate that process, I can update it accordingly | 00:31 |
| pepee | kieppie, /etc/rc.local ? | 00:31 |
| chris_ | so does that mean that it's something in my router if it wont connect outside? | 00:32 |
| Ben64 | chris_: try pinging your router | 00:32 |
| Ben64 | probably 192.168.2.1 | 00:32 |
| pepee | chris_, in the terminal, run 'route' | 00:32 |
| chris_ | ok | 00:33 |
| kieppie | pepee - on the original live USB install media, there's not the traditional POSIX file hierachy. it's boot, dist, doc, efi, install, opt, pics, pool, preseed, syslinux | 00:33 |
| pepee | kieppie, ah, I see. I'd try googling "how to customize a livecd" | 00:34 |
| kieppie | cheers | 00:34 |
| pepee | kieppie, also, try asking in ##linux or #debian too | 00:34 |
| frankko | nope that did not work. since that service did not exist either | 00:35 |
| majin | anyone tested already the new kernel? | 00:35 |
| MaGeD_ | Pepee : thanks the compress working , my problem is with ( split into volume ) it's grayed out | 00:35 |
| kieppie | pepee - thanks; I will | 00:35 |
| pepee | MaGeD_, ah, sorry, no idea. I guess be that some package is missing | 00:36 |

| chris_33 | i'll brb. i'll log onto my home network again and try pinging the router. | 00:45 |

| frankko | it will take ages though | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | eww.. im not sure a dpkg -i * in the archive dir is a good idea... | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | assuming bash did let you do them all at once with such a long command line.. | 00:47 |

| dr_willis | chris_33: or perhaps stop/restart the networking services | 00:59 |
| chris_33 | dr_willis: thank you | 01:00 |
| zykotick9 | chris_33: fyi, it's "sudo dhclient DEV" | 01:00 |
| chris_33 | zykotick9: thank you | 01:01 |
| frankko | Ok now i have gotten networking to work. | 01:01 |
| chris_33 | sudo dhclient DEV | 01:01 |
| frankko | now i have to figure out why xorg fails | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | chris_33: replace DEV with eth0 wlan0 etc. | 01:02 |

| frankko | pepee: i have allready done so. | 01:04 |
| frankko | where was the xsession log located? | 01:04 |

| _0x783czar | Does anyone know why I would still be receiving a password prompt on sudo even after I add '%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL' to the sudoers file? (my user is part of the admin group) it keeps demanding a password. I followed the same steps I use on RHEL, but no luck on Ubuntu for some reason. | 01:05 |

| _0x783czar | blackshirt: done it, and it still doesn't work. | 01:06 |
| _0x783czar | blackshirt: even rebooted | 01:06 |
| chris__333 | zykotick9: ok it kicked me off | 01:07 |
| frankko | the errors i get in xsessions-errors is "/usr/bin/xmodmap: unable to open file '/usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap' for reading" "[startkde] KDEDIRS: Segmentation fault" and "kdeinit: Pipe closed unexpectedly: No such file or directory" | 01:07 |
| frankko | huh? | 01:07 |
| chris__333 | does that release AND renew your IP? | 01:07 |
| zykotick9 | chris__333: it should renew it | 01:07 |
| pepee | frankko, fresh install? | 01:08 |
| jrib | _0x783czar: pastebin your /etc/sudoers | 01:08 |
| chris__333 | so everytime i loose internet i can use that command and it should reget my ip? | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | chris__333: depends on why you are loseing internet | 01:08 |
| chris__333 | zykotick9: not sure why | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | chris__333: if for some reason the dhclient cant get to the dhcp servers it wont do any good. | 01:08 |
| frankko | also "kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting." "Warning: connect() failed: : Connection refused" | 01:09 |
| pepee | frankko, if it's a fresh install, it really looks messed up | 01:09 |
| frankko | pepee: it was fresh, but i have installed skype, vlc and some other media apps | 01:09 |
| chris__333 | zykotick9: im only a few days new to linux. some times i loose internet for hours for no reason. ALL other computers on the wifi work 100% of the time. I don't know the issue | 01:10 |
| frankko | chris__333: it is dues to powersaving most likely | 01:10 |
| frankko | i had that a whole lot when using ralink and broadcom chipsets | 01:10 |
| _0x783czar | jrib: alright one second | 01:11 |
| chris__333 | zykotick9: How can i disable that in linux? i know in windows its in power settings, but where on here? | 01:11 |
| pepee | frankko, I'd try "sudo --configure -a". this will reconfigure EVERY package, but if there is an error somewhere, it will probably fix it I suppose | 01:11 |
| LogicandReason | Hello, i'm trying to install Ubuntu, and I have a question. I'm using the Windows installer and one of the options is asking about ionstallation size. Does having a smaller installation size affect anything? | 01:11 |

| === Araa|AFK is now known as Araa | ||
| _0x783czar | jrib: yes | 01:13 |
| frankko | pepee: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a does nothing. | 01:13 |
| jrib | _0x783czar: line 26 will override line 23 then. Either move line 23 below line 26, or reconsider using both admin and sudo | 01:13 |
| jrib | (group) | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | Araa: Boot it and run the installer. If you have any specific questions or problems then ask about them here. | 01:14 |
| bwayne | LogicandReason, it'll affect how many files you'll be able to store. 20 GB should give you room to work and experiment. If you're going long-term, I'd recommend more. | 01:14 |
| pepee | frankko, ah sorry, it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 01:14 |
| _0x783czar | jrib: oh duh! Thanks! | 01:14 |
| frankko | pepee: tried dpkg-reconfigure -a and it does loads of stuff. | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | frankko: Wait. | 01:14 |
| frankko | hehe | 01:14 |
| Araa | just that? ok thanks I'll try it out | 01:14 |
| LogicandReason | bwayne: alright, so if I plan to make a bootable USB drive, should I use a smaller size? | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | frankko: pepee: 1: I don't think that will help anything 2: You'll save yourself a lot of clicking through menus by adding "-pcritical" to that command. | 01:15 |
| frankko | Jordan_U: clicking? i am in CLI | 01:15 |
| zykotick9 | LogicandReason: honestly, using virutalbox, is probably a better solution for "trying" ubuntu then wubi (the windows installer). a "real" install is a LOT better. | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | frankko: I couldn't think of the equivalent phrase for CLI menus. It will save you a lot of "Typing and arrowing through". | 01:16 |
| bwayne | LogicandReason, the webpage (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#System_Requirements) says you need 5GB for the ubuntu desktop. | 01:16 |
| chris__333 | zykotick9: thank you for your help. i'll google it | 01:17 |
| brandon420 | Can someone help me get my audio panel working again? | 01:17 |
| frankko | bwayne: the easiest and a pretty good sollutions for usb drives is netboot install, then just log in an install ubuntu-desktop metapackage. | 01:18 |
| LogicandReason | bwayne: Alright, so I shouldn't use the Windows installer for a bootable USB? | 01:18 |
| bwayne | frankko, I agree. LogicandReason, see frankko's comment. | 01:18 |
| bwayne | i think unetbootin works well. | 01:19 |
| zykotick9 | LogicandReason: no. unetbootin is one option on MS for creating bootable USBs for installation. | 01:19 |

| brandon420 | kate_r, windows den ubuntu and all is good. ubuntu den windows and all is bad | 01:27 |
| jrib | !grub | kate_r | 01:27 |
| ubottu | kate_r: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 01:27 |
| kate_r | hmm | 01:27 |
| bwayne | kate_r: there's also the option of installing EasyBCD within windows. | 01:27 |
| xyzone | kate_r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 01:28 |
| kate_r | but is the method at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows still relevant? i'm on 12.04 | 01:28 |
| prplzh | is there any way to force ubuntu to do fsck before/during boot? | 01:28 |
| zykotick9 | !fsck | prplzh | 01:29 |
| ubottu | prplzh: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 01:29 |
| prplzh | since i can't do it after i boot. sometimes it doesn't it automatically but can i force it? | 01:29 |
| prplzh | fsck can't run after i boot | 01:29 |
| prplzh | on the disc | 01:29 |
| prplzh | alright thanks | 01:29 |

| kate_r | yeah | 01:31 |
| xyzone | look at the grub2 install instructions kate_r | 01:31 |
| kate_r | xyzone, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows doesn't talk about grub 2, right? | 01:32 |
| xyzone | it's at the bottom | 01:32 |
| kate_r | xyzone, so should i recover grub first then upgrade to grub 2? | 01:33 |
| xyzone | kate_r, more specific instructions http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/index.php/mini-howtos/howto-reinstall-grub2-on-ubuntu | 01:33 |
| xyzone | kate_r, 12.04 already has grub2 | 01:34 |
| kate_r | xyzone, so should i just follow the instructions at http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/index.php/mini-howtos/howto-reinstall-grub2-on-ubuntu ? | 01:34 |

| acolytetojippity | Hey, i've been looking for a good client for linux that will interface/work with skype calls, since i've been told that the "official" skype client for linux blows. Does anyone have any suggestions? | 01:36 |
| xyzone | skype hates linux | 01:36 |
| acolytetojippity | Yeah, i've heard. That's why i'm looking for some way to call/be called skype users on linux. I'm assuming WINE won't cut it? | 01:37 |
| xyzone | nope | 01:37 |
| somsip | acolytetojippity: been using skype here for a long time and other than a few minor issues, it's fine. | 01:38 |
| magesing | !motd | 01:38 |
| blackness | Is anyone familiar with xbindkeys? i cant get volume up/down to work. | 01:38 |
| Wezel | I just instaled Lubuntu 12.04 on an old laptop. My processor doesn not support PAE. Is it safe for me to upgrade to 12.10?? | 01:39 |
| jrib | blackness: you should say how you are trynig | 01:39 |
| jrib | trying even | 01:39 |
| acolytetojippity | @somsip: What kind of 'minor issues'? Myself and a few others are looking to run a meeting via skype in a few days, but one of our number uses linux | 01:39 |
| blackness | using lines like: "amixer -q set Master 2+ unmute" ; XF86AudioRaiseVolume | 01:39 |
| blackness | and the amixer line works..ive tested this. | 01:40 |
| somsip | acolytetojippity: if I miss a call, it doesn't clear and appears as a missed call for days. It used to crash and needed to delete ~/.Skype/*xml to get it to restart, but that was the previous version. I needed to replace my ancient webcam when I started using it. | 01:40 |
| jrib | blackness: so what key are you pressing? | 01:41 |
| acolytetojippity | @somsip ok, cool. good to know. Thanks! | 01:42 |
| shakaponk | hey guyz, downloaded the desktop iso burned on dvd, put it into my drive, but it doesn't boot, | 01:42 |
| shakaponk | took a look, dvd contains the wubi and autorun shows to wubi | 01:42 |
| shakaponk | is that normal? | 01:42 |
| wyclif | shakaponk: I had this problem last week. The first thing you should do is make sure you run md5sum on the iso | 01:42 |
| somsip | acolytetojippity: also I group chat with two others (California and Halifax Canada) from Thailand and it's good enough, and video to UK often which is mostly fine. It's not the dog it used to be IME | 01:43 |
| shakaponk | wyclif, and then? | 01:43 |
| shakaponk | what was the solution? | 01:43 |
| wyclif | shakaponk: IOW, make sure it's not a corrupted burn of the iso | 01:43 |
| wyclif | shakaponk: then try installing again | 01:43 |
| shakaponk | wyclif, i've downloaded both of them 12.10 and 12.04.1 | 01:44 |
| yahusha_ | i need to install pclinuxos from usb any takes... | 01:44 |
| shakaponk | both have wubi.exe | 01:44 |
| wyclif | shakaponk: well, that's the first thing you should do along the lines of normal troubleshooting, i.e., check the simple things first | 01:45 |
| maxb | It's been a while since I bothered with optical install media, but IIRC the boot menu used to have an option to verify the burnt disc | 01:45 |
| wyclif | shakaponk: because if you check it and then try again and it still won't install, at least you've ruled corruption out | 01:45 |
| maxb | Or is it not getting even to the initial boot menu? | 01:45 |
| yahusha_ | everytime i try installing pclinuxos from usb it fails to read the iso | 01:46 |
| Shiz | Is there any way to force the installer to use legacy/BIOS GRUB when the CD is booted from EFI? | 01:47 |
| acolytetojippity | I assume you're talking about the skype for linux client, correct? | 01:47 |
| somsip | acolytetojippity: yes. 64 bit | 01:47 |

| blackness | weird, xev wont capture this anymore | 01:52 |
| blackness | Strategos, you deleted the list | 01:52 |
| jrib | blackness: yeah, kill xbindkeys. Though that probably means it's working :) | 01:52 |
| Strategos | Xangua: Yes, no change. It's the same for User list (Ctrl+F7). | 01:52 |
| blackness | done..recapture? | 01:53 |

| blackness | here is the capture: "NoCommand" m:0x0 + c:123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume jrib | 01:54 |
| jrib | Chain: yes, just ask on one line (use a pastebin if you need to include logs, errors, and such) | 01:54 |

| jrib | blackness: try /usr/bin/amixer instead of just amixer | 01:55 |
| blackness | ok | 01:55 |
| Strategos | Ah, dragging part of the window took care of it. | 01:55 |
| jrib | blackness: also, get rid of the semicolon | 01:55 |
| Chain | Alright. Well, just today I installed ubuntu alongside Windows Vista. I apparently installed edubuntu? Which isn't what I wanted.. and it seems to me that the installation is almost half-functioning.. which leads me to believe I probably did something wrong in the installation process. I'm completely at a loss. | 01:55 |
| jrib | Chain: what did you want if it wasn't edubuntu? | 01:56 |
| blackness | i was using a semi colon as a divider | 01:56 |
| blackness | its working ;) thanks jrib | 01:57 |
| Chain | I was trying to install just ubuntu. | 01:57 |

| blackness | need more tweaks ;P | 01:58 |
| rsumi_werk | is there a way to configure xfce so that when I click on a link from another application that's in another workspace that it will either open a new browser window in the workspace it's in instead of moving my other browser window to the current workspace? | 01:58 |
| rsumi_werk | does that make sense? | 01:58 |
| jrib | blackness: now use espeak to have some keys say random things | 01:58 |
| Chain | That was my assumed course of action.. I just don't even know how to uninstall it correctly. | 01:58 |
| blackness | oh no thank you..talking keys would drive me gnuts | 01:58 |
| jrib | Chain: no need to uninstall, just make sure that when you install you choose to overwrite the existing edubuntu install | 01:59 |
| jrib | blackness: haha my officemate loves them I'm sure | 01:59 |
| blackness | evil....just evil. | 01:59 |
| Strategos | So a PC user, a network engineer, and a Linux engineer walk into a bar. | 02:00 |
| Strategos | The bartender asks, "What is this, a joke?" | 02:00 |
| Chain | jrib: Alright, that's probably what I'll do. I'm guessing somewhere in the installation process it will ask me about overwriting the existing edubuntu installation? | 02:02 |
| jrib | Chain: maybe. You might need to choose "manual partitioning" and then just choose the partition that got used last time. Not sure if there's some more straightforward "overwrite the last install" button | 02:03 |
| Chain | jrib: Alright, well you said there isn't a need to uninstall.. is there a simple way to do it? I feel as though that'd be an easier way for me not to miss something. | 02:04 |

| === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n | ||
| awr | that happened to me in a Windows machine, I just start up a partition manager and a fix was automatically offered, someone here can suggest a good one for linux | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | JonathanDawdy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/; Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:21 |
| bazhang | shyrain, why would you want to do that | 02:21 |
| bazhang | shyrain, and how is that connected to ubuntu support | 02:21 |
| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, an 18 MIllion Terabyte partition? | 02:22 |
| JonathanDawdy | Two questions one:my hard drive is beeping from time to time? --Two:i have an unallocated partition showing in my disk utilities its free-space and 18 mill terabytes | 02:22 |
| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, what is the hdd total size | 02:23 |
| Ben64 | JonathanDawdy: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 02:23 |

| OerHeks | Harddrives don't beep, motherbord does. | 02:24 |
| bazhang | never heard of a HDD that size | 02:24 |
| Ben64 | beeps could happen because of inadequate power, or many other things | 02:24 |
| JonathanDawdy | i have pictures of my disk utilitys and gparted | 02:24 |
| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, no pictures | 02:24 |
| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, the output requested above | 02:25 |
| JonathanDawdy | ok one sec | 02:25 |
| OerHeks | JonathanDawdy, see the manual of your motherboard, for the short-long beep value | 02:25 |
| PoolShark_ | I am curious... anyone know what happens in linux if you have more disks than there are letters in the alphabet? | 02:25 |
| Ben64 | a computer I was working on was beeping under heavy load, turns out it was a bad PSU | 02:25 |
| JonathanDawdy | It came with window7 so it wont explain this but im doing what you said so just a second. | 02:25 |
| PoolShark_ | i.e. /dev/sd{a-z}, then what? | 02:26 |
| Ben64 | PoolShark_: sdaa | 02:26 |
| PoolShark_ | ahh | 02:26 |
| PoolShark_ | it'll do double letters like that? that'll be prone to errors | 02:27 |
| yeehi | What time is the new Raring daily build uploaded usually? | 02:27 |
| bazhang | yeehi, #ubuntu+1 for that | 02:28 |
| JonathanDawdy | ok fdisk doesnt show the 18 mil terabytpe partition | 02:28 |
| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, pastebin.com the output and give us the url | 02:28 |
| awr | the huge partition is a partition table problem I am pretty sure, a good partition manager should offer an automatic fix | 02:29 |
| JonathanDawdy | ugg fine but it show what it really is i dont care about what it says | 02:29 |
| OerHeks | PoolShark_, you can have up to 18278 drives > http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/how-are-linux-drives-named-beyond-drive-26-devsdz/ | 02:29 |

| bazhang | JonathanDawdy, just the pastebin, please | 02:30 |

| weiyang | I have upgrade the kernel by the software upgrade manager, but I remove the kernel image | 03:50 |
| StackProphet | why | 03:50 |
| holstein | zombieman: you'll need to make sure the host machine is setup properly.. if ssh server is runnin, and the firewall is open, its a matter of "ssh username@serverip (or hostname)" | 03:50 |
| zombieman | Rigwyn, damnit. I got this: vncserver: Wrong type or access mode of /home/maroon5/.vnc. | 03:50 |
| holstein | !ssh | 03:50 |
| weiyang | then each time i run apt-get install, it will show me not find the kernel | 03:50 |
| DrManhattan | ok, so with the realtek 8101 there's basically no WOL function? | 03:51 |
| holstein | !info ssh | 03:51 |
| weiyang | StackProphet, hmm... i forget the reason... | 03:51 |
| DrManhattan | I have tried the kernel drivers, the drivers from realtek, and nothing really appears to work | 03:51 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 03:51 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB | 03:51 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: have you tried the windows drivers in ndisgtk? | 03:52 |
| DrManhattan | Kind of a bummer, since this basic functionality is a deal-breaker for me and ubuntu. I've used it for years but now it appears a very basic function of the distro has disappeared. | 03:52 |
| DrManhattan | holstein, why on earth would I try windows drivers? | 03:52 |
| awr | hard disk sounds differ from model to model, you should worry if you hear a clicking sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8KwJ2q50g, or the drive continuously starts and stops,like when connecting an external usb hard disk on an underpowered USB port | 03:52 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: ? because you are having issues with other drivers.. as i read it | 03:52 |
| DrManhattan | besides, the problem usually isn't with the driver but with the kernel | 03:52 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: its an option.. | 03:52 |
| DrManhattan | holstein, alrighty, thanks | 03:52 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: you dont have to try it.. you can take the advice of any other volunteer here.. | 03:53 |
| Rigwyn | zombieman, sorry, I don't know. | 03:53 |
| DrManhattan | it's all good holstein and I appreciate it. My apologies for any apparent lack of gratitude | 03:53 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: i only suggest it because it actually works for me with a certain chipset.. and its really easy to try | 03:53 |
| JonathanDawdy | awr, i understand except the beeping was not coused by movement it was a noise being played | 03:54 |
| DrManhattan | ahhh holstein this isnt a wireless card | 03:54 |
| zombieman | i figured it out | 03:54 |
| zombieman | gnome-session | 03:55 |
| zombieman | thanks anyway guys | 03:55 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: interesting.. i have a stack of nics.. i would just grab another.. they are quite cheap.. | 03:56 |
| DrManhattan | don't have an extra pci slot in the box | 03:56 |
| holstein | i have seen a few wired that didnt work.. i just took them out | 03:56 |
| awr | that must be from the case speaker then, it probably is an error code, you can see what those mean in your bios manual as someone said to you above, I will be heading off soon take care | 03:56 |
| JonathanDawdy | ya but all of them say "_beeps and computer wont start"... but my computer works just fine | 03:58 |
| Black_Daemon | hi ping__ | 04:03 |
| Black_Daemon | it's still not working :\ | 04:03 |
| awr | Are you sure? sometimes the errors are not critical and the computer can boot, but it is usually an error that needs to be dealt with at sometime in the future, usually failing hardware, did you match the error code with the beep?This only happens at boot? | 04:03 |
| Black_Daemon | the odd thing is that when I boot up, I hear the little sound at the beginning when it asks for my password. | 04:03 |
| weiyang | Black_Daemon, what is the problem? | 04:03 |
| Black_Daemon | my sound output is not working | 04:04 |
| Black_Daemon | I thought it may be my default.pa file in /etc/pulse/ directory | 04:04 |
| Black_Daemon | but I used ping's and it's still not working | 04:04 |
| weiyang | ah, sorry, I may not help | 04:05 |
| Black_Daemon | I ran a diff on them, though, and here's the output: | 04:05 |
| ping__ | Black_Daemon, $ ps aux | grep pulse | 04:05 |
| JonathanDawdy | awr, the beeps sound all the same and to fast to count its dont beeping after about 3 seconds | 04:06 |
| weiyang | all, I have two VGA display shown in the lspci, how can i know which one is being used now? | 04:06 |
| awr | at boot only? | 04:06 |
| Black_Daemon | ping__ here is the output of what you told me to do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357179/ | 04:06 |
| JonathanDawdy | no i said randomly all the time | 04:07 |
| Black_Daemon | weiyang, here is the output from the diff i you care to see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357183/ | 04:07 |
| ping__ | Black_Daemon, hmm running | 04:08 |
| ping__ | Black_Daemon, try this loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID | grep Active | 04:08 |
| DrManhattan | well, this blows. Apparently WOL simply isn't going to work | 04:08 |
| Black_Daemon | default.pa is ping's, and default.pa.back is mine | 04:08 |
| ping__ | yes or no | 04:08 |
| weiyang | Black_Daemon, ok, let me take a loo | 04:08 |
| DrManhattan | Hooray | 04:08 |
| weiyang | look | 04:08 |
| DrManhattan | this fucking blows really. I love ubuntu and I do NOT want to switch distros | 04:08 |
| DrManhattan | bbiab | 04:09 |
| Black_Daemon | ping__ it says loginctl: command not found | 04:09 |

| rumpe1 | JonathanD, using an input-device for output? | 04:11 |
| demonboy | i have 10.04 and i have an issue w/ a hard block from rfkill on my wireless card how may i fix this? | 04:11 |
| demonboy | anyone? | 04:12 |
| holstein | demonboy: i would elaborate as to the issues.. i might try 12.04 live and consider upgrading | 04:13 |
| JonathanDawdy | rumpe1, i have ubuntu ultimate 2.3 and i do beleve gnome runs my sounds and desktop gui i think i tryed that already but i may need more help.that and i dont want to connectmy speaker to my mic i want a program to play sound files through my mic | 04:13 |
| xangua | !ultimate | JonathanDawdy | 04:13 |
| ubottu | JonathanDawdy: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 04:13 |
| Gerowen | demonboy: I hate to be another guy to just go "Upgrade, it'll fix everything!" but I too had some really weird issues with the wireless card in both 10.x versions of Ubuntu, and they no longer exist in 12.10. | 04:14 |
| demonboy | holstein i hate 12.04/12.10 as much as i hate windows 8 | 04:14 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, you mean you want to record sound from your mic to a file then play it through your speakers? | 04:14 |
| drakon1 | hello, I have a video in an iso image, how can i see it on my pc? | 04:14 |
| Black_Daemon | hey ping__, sorry, did you see my message about not having loginctl? | 04:14 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, or do you want to play what your mic hears through your speakers live and in real time? | 04:14 |
| holstein | demonboy: gnome2 is gone.. have you tried xfce? xubuntu 12.04 is what i would try | 04:14 |
| demonboy | and no it doesnt fix it... ubuntu 12.10 didnt recognize the card at all | 04:14 |
| JonathanDawdy | no. a goo example is i have a song and i want my friend on skype to HEAR it. il just open up a program and tell it to play the song on the mic | 04:15 |
| demonboy | which is y i rolled back to 10.04 | 04:15 |
| demonboy | i ran rfkill and it took off the soft block but not the hard block | 04:15 |
| === brandon__ is now known as bulletrulz | ||
| holstein | demonboy: what device? | 04:15 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, try jackaudio | 04:15 |
| ping__ | wait | 04:15 |
| demonboy | wmp11 linksys pci card | 04:16 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: The standard archive viewer can open and extract .iso files, is the ISO file an image of a DVD? | 04:16 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, but it has a learning curve | 04:16 |
| holstein | demonboy: TBH, i have no idea what the blocks are you are speaking of.. i have only ever just loaed drivers | 04:16 |
| bulletrulz | !bodhilinux | 04:16 |
| JonathanDawdy | thanx litropy il try it ... wait learning curve y? | 04:16 |
| drakon1 | Gerowen: yes, I managed to mount it but it appears empty | 04:16 |
| demonboy | holstein if you run #rfkill list all | 04:17 |
| holstein | demonboy: i would give the line from lspci | 04:17 |
| demonboy | it will show devices and if they are blocked | 04:17 |
| drakon1 | Gerowen: it is a dvd | 04:17 |
| holstein | demonboy: im pretty sure i have no blocked devices... you mean, blacklisted modules? | 04:17 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, when something has a learning curve it takes some getting used to. For instance, Ubuntu has more of a learning curve than OS X or Windows. | 04:17 |
| demonboy | what about lshw? | 04:17 |
| holstein | demonboy: sure... just something with the chipset | 04:18 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, but the good news is, there's plenty of documentation on the net, and there's also an IRC chan | 04:18 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: VLC is the easiest because you can just click "Media" "Play Disc" and change /dev/dvd to the folder where the ISO is mounted. | 04:18 |
| JonathanDawdy | I know what learning curve means but is there anything about jackaudio i should know about that i might gt stuck on | 04:18 |
| JonathanDawdy | cool | 04:18 |
| litropy | JonathanDawdy, that chan is #jack | 04:18 |
| drakon1 | Gerowen: ok, i'll try that, thanks! | 04:18 |

| litropy | JonathanDawdy, it has been a while since I messed with jackaudio. I'm not up to date on the snags. | 04:19 |
| * holstein uses JACK often | 04:19 | |

| litropy | JonathanDawdy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration | 04:20 |
| holstein | JonathanDawdy: if you dont need lowlatency, just go with the defaults... the frames/period and periods/buffer are what we tweak | 04:20 |
| drakon1 | Gerowen: didn't work | 04:20 |
| holstein | go with 512 or 1024/2 | 04:20 |
| drakon1 | got an error message that just says it can't open it | 04:21 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: Unmount the image,and try re-mounting it, if you used the built-in Ubuntu image mounter, it probably gave you this really weird, cryptic mount location that VLC sometimes doesn't like. | 04:21 |
| JonathanDawdy | holstein, please reword, i didnt understnd you atall | 04:21 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: You can make a custom mount point with: sudo mkdir /mnt/iso | 04:21 |
| drakon1 | Gerowen: ok, i'll try that | 04:22 |
| holstein | JonathanDawdy: you will once you actually start trying to run/use JACK | 04:22 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: Then mount the image with: mount -o loop -t iso9660 FOO.iso /mnt/test | 04:22 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: just replace FOO.iso with the actual name of the iso | 04:22 |
| holstein | JonathanDawdy: i would say, if you dont need lowlatency or crazying routing, its overkill | 04:22 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: Oh and stick sudo in front of the mount command, you gotta be root to mount stuff. | 04:23 |

| psusi | CptIgnorant, /var generally does not store 'user settings' | 04:28 |
| demonboy | also running #ifconfig wlan0 up i get a 132 error | 04:28 |
| Gerowen | drakon1: Ah, then the image may be corrupted or bad. You could try re-downloading it, or making an image of one of your own DVDs and mounting that just to make sure your method is working. | 04:28 |
| holstein | demonboy: i just havent needed to get that "dirty" with a bcm chip in 10.04, or beyond.. whats the issue? | 04:29 |

| DrManhattan | Has anyone figured out how to get WOL working on a realtek 8101? | 04:34 |
| holstein | DrManhattan: from what i have found, its more hardware based... | 04:35 |
| DrManhattan | holstein, sadly, the issue is with the linux kernel, not with the drivers. This USED to work just fine in ubuntu. Now it doesn't work at all. | 04:37 |
| Lesterwood | i'm bored | 04:37 |
| CptIgnorant | What would be the easiest way of finding every app ever installed on your system. I can't mount but I can browse the file-system. | 04:38 |
| DrManhattan | I am going to try the 32 bit release in the hopes it will work. The machine only has 2g ram in it anyhow. If it doesn't, I may have to leave ubuntu. I might just set it up on windows (where WOL works just fine) and ditch linux altogether. At this point frustrating things like this show me why MS makes so much money. | 04:38 |
| kvothetech | DrManhattan: so change your kernel or compile in what you need | 04:38 |

| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: What are you doing to try to enable Wake On LAN and what error messages (if any) are you getting? | 05:06 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, I've tried adding ethtool -s eth0 wol g to rc.local and even typed it in by hand to test things out. There are no error msgs as the box isn't on to give any. | 05:08 |
| almoxarife | so it was rhetorical | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: But "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" gives you no error message? | 05:09 |
| DrManhattan | Neither the included driver for my card (r8169 module) or the realtek driver (r8101 module) enable WOL. | 05:09 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, that is correct. | 05:09 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, according to the system, its working. but it isnt. | 05:09 |

| Black_Daemon | thanks again for the help!!! and boy am I glad I can listen to music again :) | 05:13 |

| Jordan_U | DrManhattan: Does the network card appear to still be powered after shutdown/suspend? | 05:13 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, No. It still shows me a light on the card and on the switch. | 05:13 |
| DrManhattan | Jordan_U, My apologies - I guess that answer would have been "Yes" | 05:14 |
| almoxarife | Black_Daemon: xbmc would come to mind for why hdmi sound is great | 05:14 |
| Black_Daemon | hmmm almoxarife that's interesting | 05:14 |
| Black_Daemon | anyway I have to go, so thanks again for the help folks! | 05:15 |

| blackshirt | what is differences between nat, bridging, and host only in vbox network type | 05:16 |
| blackshirt | ? | 05:16 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: nat uses your host to dhcp, bridge uses your router and host only will not get out | 05:16 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: for normal access to the internet i use bridged | 05:17 |
| blackshirt | almoxarife, when we use bridging, thats mean we still can connect to out in guest os ? | 05:17 |
| === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf | ||
| almoxarife | blackshirt: bridged allows the guest to access the internet according to the rules set by the router, getting an ip from the router, nat would carry the rules set by the host | 05:18 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: to the world nat looks like the host squacking | 05:19 |
| blackshirt | almoxarife, okey ... So is it possible to use our own local dns server in our guest to serve dns resolving ? | 05:20 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: you want to use the guest as in the guest running on the host as the dns server? | 05:20 |
| blackshirt | almoxarife, i have setup private dns server in guest | 05:21 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: the guest cant be the only source for dns for the host, because the host will be/should be looking for dns service prior to the guest os being up, unless you can get around that | 05:22 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: i have a server on my internal network dishing out dns(cache-dnsmasq) but its up usually 24/7, so nothing else is left dns'less :) | 05:23 |
| blackshirt | almoxarife, i want my own local dns to serve the guest os, not host | 05:26 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: then you want to run 'nat' , and let the 'host' dns-serve the 'guest' | 05:26 |
| cookie-monster | Hey guys. Is there any nice software for Ubuntu that I can use to rip my VCDs? DVD rippers like AcidRipper and Handbrake don't work. :( | 05:27 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: what is 'local', define that | 05:27 |
| almoxarife | blackshirt: if you are running a dns server on your local net, and you want the 'guest' to use 'it', and 'it' is not the 'host' , then we are back to 'bridged' , the setting up of where the guest got dns would be done within the guest os | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | blackshirt: What is your end goal? | 05:31 |
| blackshirt | almoxarife, local mean for dns installed on this guest | 05:32 |

| harovali | hi, I'm trying to help a user who is typing some (unkown) keyboard shortcut, that has the effect of making all buttons in the bar AND all icons in the desktop to disappear. I've browsed thru a shortcuts webpage looking for a candidate that would be the cause of this, but I couln't find it. Which shotcut(s) could have this effect? | 05:33 |
| harovali | in unity ubuntu 12.04 | 05:34 |
| almoxarife | harovali: told him/her not to do that yet? | 05:34 |
| cloudgeek | i created new use but didn't password asking for password what should i need to do | 05:35 |
| cloudgeek | i used below command | 05:35 |
| xangua | harovali: you mean show the desktop¿ | 05:35 |
| harovali | almoxarife: yes, in fact I told her to be overly attentious to what she types. It happens only to her among many users, and in two different equally configured computers | 05:36 |
| cloudgeek | sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'ruhil' --group --disabled-password --home /home/ruhil ruhil | 05:36 |
| harovali | xangua: yes, show/hide the desktop icons and the buttons in the taskbar/launcher | 05:36 |
| cloudgeek | why asking for password | 05:36 |
| xangua | harovali: ctrl+alt+d ¿ | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | cloudgeek: Why did you pass the '--disabled-password' option to adduser? What do you plan to use this user for? | 05:37 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U: for my local deveopment for coding | 05:37 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U: but when sudo tar -xvf then | 05:38 |
| cloudgeek | it ask for password | 05:38 |
| Jordan_U | cloudgeek: I asked two questions. You only answered one of them. | 05:38 |
| cloudgeek | why it is asking for | 05:38 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U: i passed that so i didn't type password again and again | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | cloudgeek: That's not what that option means. | 05:39 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U:okay, then let me know what is means | 05:39 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U: so help me now | 05:39 |
| almoxarife | :) | 05:40 |
| Jordan_U | cloudgeek: It means that the user doesn't have a password. That's all. Not having a password doesn't change sudo's requirements. | 05:40 |
| harovali | xangua: could be, I'll tell her to test | 05:40 |
| xavier_ | BlueT_: | 05:40 |
| harovali | she has the shortcut harcoded in her fingertips | 05:40 |
| cloudgeek | Jordan_U: so now so should i need to set a password for sudo or shall i need to work without sudo | 05:41 |
| almoxarife | Jordan_U: if the user does not have a password, then what would one enter for sudo? nothing i assume does not work | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | almoxarife: With the default configuration of sudo, sudo simply won't work. | 05:41 |
| almoxarife | oh dear | 05:42 |
| cloudgeek | now what else can i do | 05:43 |
| almoxarife | i really am at a point where i need to give 'root' its own password for xbmc-buntu, yet i am very afraid of screwing up, anyone care to give me the 100% sure no screwup method to do that? somethings just would be better done in xbmc-buntu straight out of root. ssh sudo does some weird things | 05:45 |
| almoxarife | and am i better off doing the root password thing at the local level or ssh safe to do it? | 05:47 |
| almoxarife | !root | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:47 |

| nforzar1 | i've no opion | 06:17 |
| almoxarife | somsip: how do i upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10? or does the classic upgrade apt command take me to the current, where i dont want to go | 06:17 |
| somsip | almoxarife: I only made that move prior to 12.10, so I'm not sure if something will kick you straight to 12.10. So I can't help | 06:19 |
| almoxarife | GodfatherofEir1: can you expand on that, i assume you want to change your network settings | 06:19 |
| xangua | almoxarife: you should see an option to upgrade to 12.04 in the update manager | 06:20 |
| almoxarife | somsip: i have xbmc-buntu running rather flawless, but its at oneiric(11.04)?? | 06:20 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | almoxarife, I'm trying to change the routes under the network manager applet and I'm not quite sure how to specify a default route. Usually thats 0.0.0.0/0, but nm-applet doesn't allow that as a valid route. | 06:20 |
| somsip | almoxarife: is there a need to upgrade? If not, I'd leave it alone. Which is why I'm on 12.04 for now... | 06:21 |
| almoxarife | somsip: need? no, you right, i'll let it be | 06:21 |
| almoxarife | GodfatherofEir1: default route to what/were? | 06:23 |

| almoxarife | GodfatherofEir1: are you setting up the black hole thing? | 06:24 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | almoxarife: no, I'm not, I'm trying tp specify to use one gateway with a given metric and if that is unavailable to use a different gateway. I know how to do this from a command line, I'm just trying to make the settings persistent between reboots (hence nm-applet, otherwise the routing table will be overwritten by it) | 06:25 |
| almoxarife | demonboy: try this, insure you have 'headers' for your kernel installed first, that may make the problem go away, in terminal 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic' , then reboot | 06:25 |
| demonboy | ill try tht i havent gotten that yet | 06:26 |

| almoxarife | GodfatherofEir1: paste the command line, pls, sounds like you need to change the content of a conf file | 06:27 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | almoxarife, basically all I'm trying to do is specify what would be done on the command line by "ip route add default via 192.168.42.129 dev wlan0 metric 100; ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 metric 200" | 06:27 |

| hateball | So I have a script that mounts a cifs-share, does some magics, and the tries to umount it. Sometimes the umount fails, and so the next run mounts the same share to the same mountpoint. Is there a way to tell umount to umount everything against a particular mountpoint, or do I need to write a loop? | 07:13 |
| Jordan_U | hateball: If the umount fails the first time, why do you expect it to succeed the second time? | 07:16 |
| hateball | Jordan_U: Because CIFS tends to be... not so great. | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | hateball: What error message are you getting from the failed umount? | 07:19 |
| hateball | Jordan_U: None. It just doesnt umount sometimes. So my current workaround is to just put two umounts at the end of my script. It's not like it does any harm either, it just doesnt look neat | 07:20 |
| hateball | I suppose I could change the script to run verbose | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | hateball: Does umount exit with an exit code of 0? | 07:21 |
| hateball | Jordan_U: Good question. I can check and add proper sanity to this, but I was hoping not to :p | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | hateball: I haven't dealt much with CIFS, but I have a hard time believing that umount would exit while failing to unmount, with no indication of the failure. My guess is that it's actually a bug in your script or for some reason mount is being called twice and umount only once, leaving one mount still there (despite umount exiting successfully). And the solution to this is *not* to just add umount loops until you understand the ... | 07:23 |
| kurs | ;; | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | ... root cause of the problem (though, apon finding the root cause, a umount loop might be an apropriate solution). | 07:23 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, i have a notebook with a AMD Radeon HD 6520G. my 30" dell maxes out at 1200x800 resolution. i'm currently runnign with the latest amd proprietary driver. upon installing the open source fxlgr driver, my system crashed. does anyone have ideas on how i can increase my resolution? | 07:48 |
| Areks | seeqwell: you mean I haven't any limit of file count? | 07:49 |
| Areks | so i can store for example a few billion file in one catalog? | 07:50 |
| Areks | *files | 07:50 |
| boxbeatsy | anyone? :\ | 07:51 |
| hateball | Areks: there is still a limited number of blocks... and for performance I think it's recommended to keep <15k files in a single dir | 07:53 |
| chalcedony | is anyone awake that can help with moving my husband's korganizer files? | 07:53 |
| Areks | hateball: i wanna know max count ) | 07:54 |
| Areks | hateball: now i have filder where stored more then 100 000 ) | 07:54 |
| llutz_ | Areks: the max count depends on inodes available, "df -i" | 07:54 |
| Areks | llutz_: inodes = max count? | 07:55 |
| llutz_ | Areks: kinda, yes | 07:55 |
| hateball | If you need to store that many files then moving to ext4 would probably be a wise choice | 07:56 |

| ikonia | John76: I assume it's maverick-meerkat-icon and -themes you want to use ? | 08:12 |
| John76 | Yes but it extracted to Ambiance-10.10 | 08:12 |
| ikonia | John76 you are also putting them in "downloads/themes" | 08:12 |
| ikonia | not .themes | 08:12 |

| John76 | What | 08:14 |
| ikonia | use the gui | 08:14 |
| John76 | ikonia, My taskbar is flashing and crashing all over the place. | 08:18 |
| ikonia | what, in general or scince you changed the theme | 08:18 |
| John76 | Preference > Customize Look and Feel | 08:19 |
| ikonia | not wha tI asked | 08:19 |
| John76 | oh | 08:19 |
| ikonia | scince you changed the theme or in general | 08:19 |
| John76 | I thought you meant to type science | 08:19 |
| John76 | Since I clicked Apply | 08:19 |
| John76 | It's been buggy and crashing over and over in one second intervals | 08:19 |
| ikonia | then change the theme back | 08:19 |
| John76 | I cant | 08:20 |
| John76 | The taskbar keeps crashing :/ | 08:20 |
| ikonia | remove the directory containing the theme | 08:20 |
| John76 | Okay it stopped crashing | 08:21 |
| John76 | it's 90% changed | 08:21 |
| John76 | but things like the 'start' button are old lubuntu and applets are different colors | 08:22 |

| MaxFrames | hello | 09:25 |
| MaxFrames | can you confirm that by default ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have an ssh daemon listening, and that it must be installed? | 09:26 |
| MaxFrames | as per http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/03/enable-ssh-secure-shell-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 09:26 |
| mindaugas | yep | 09:26 |
| iceroot | MaxFrames: yes, openssh-server is not instaled by default on the desktop version | 09:26 |
| iceroot | MaxFrames: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 09:27 |
| MaxFrames | thanks | 09:27 |
| MaxFrames | my only experience was with debian, so I just configured iptables to allow ssh, and was wondering why it wasn't working :D | 09:27 |
| iceroot | MaxFrames: iptables is disabled by default | 09:29 |
| iceroot | MaxFrames: so nothing you have to enable | 09:29 |
| andrea_ | why do i have glitching audio when using CPU with VLC or youtube? | 09:29 |
| MaxFrames | actually whay I have found is that iptables is enabled by default, with ACCEPT on all chains | 09:29 |
| andrea_ | is there any way to avoid that? | 09:29 |
| Synt | hmm i wonder why i can only manage one nic | 09:32 |
| Synt | but that nic i can set it to 2 different mac addresses | 09:33 |
| MaxFrames | so I just set it to deny by default, and then allowed what I need | 09:33 |

| almoxarife | MaxFrames: you got the install disks for the xp? | 09:38 |
| MaxFrames | not for this specific machine. I have a recovery partition. why? | 09:38 |
| almoxarife | MaxFrames: i was going to suggest you ran the xp virtualboxed on the ubuntu side 'seamless' if its not laggy then toss the xp partion and call it even, running xp on ubuntu seamless is a trip | 09:40 |

| devswap | has anyone had avi files to play strangely in mediaplayer - having a coloured overlay that eventually clears until you skip forward and then it appears again and also jumping forward moving more in terms of time than it should? | 10:17 |
| devswap | i suspect a codec issue but have the windows codecs installed | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: does it affect all players? | 10:17 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: it does but does different things in each - one has audio and no video, one does as described above (colours) and the other has the skipping issue - basically not perfect in any - could be just the vid I guess but plays fine on a windows machine | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: have you tried switching video output method? | 10:19 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: no wouldnt know howto | 10:20 |
| devswap | is it like you used to do in the old days such as put a flag such as -o=v11 | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: vlc has the option in preferences. Try a few. X11 is usually pretty solid | 10:20 |

| LordThumper | How do I FAT32 partition which I need to repartition | 10:25 |
| LordThumper | How do i do that? | 10:25 |
| LordThumper | As in recreate the filesystem | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: use mount in CLI may work. You will need the proprietary virtualbox for native usb access | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: use gparted | 10:26 |
| LordThumper | I typed that wrong.. | 10:26 |
| LordThumper | ActionParsnip: Ok thanks | 10:26 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: I dont think mount will work as the usb is greyed out in the virtualbox interface - presume the host OS still has a lock on it. If you spefically add it before powering on the machine then it works from that point on but it seems daft to have to do that | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | andrea_: the man page is pretty useful | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | andrea_: ps -eo pid,pcpu | grep PID | 10:27 |
| anti_ | It shouldn't be too much work to add it before powering up imo. | 10:28 |

| Evil_Eric | next question will be about why ati and switchable graphics suck so bad on ubuntu or should i just start whinning bout xorg now | 10:53 |
| gordonjcp | Evil_Eric: no, just ATI | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | switchable graphics is best avoided imho | 10:53 |
| gordonjcp | you pretty much need NVidia, if you want 3D | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | you'd think 10 years on things would have improved on that score, but no | 10:54 |
| Evil_Eric | okinda hard to advoid it when thats what my lappy runs | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: could get an i7 with intel and no nvidia, it'll run fine | 10:55 |
| Evil_Eric | i use the fix from the forums but i was hoping that i dint have to anymore | 10:55 |
| Evil_Eric | <-----i7 | 10:55 |
| Evil_Eric | intel/ati switchable | 10:56 |
| Evil_Eric | and to make matters worse HP | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: yeah its the extra chip causing the issue, there is a hybrid guide for ubuntu but I've not used it first hand | 10:56 |
| Evil_Eric | ive used it it works i was just hopping for new input | 10:57 |
| Evil_Eric | ive been only using the 64bit version of ubuntu for this laptop and wat worries about the ram this is why the original question was about pae | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | Evil_Eric: if your hardware supports 64-bit, just use 64-bit | 10:59 |
| Evil_Eric | yep hardware suports 64bit but most of software i use is still 32 bit so i wasnt seeing any real use out it exsept for the ram | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | been using 64bit here for ages. i cant think of the last time i had an issue that could be blamed on the '64bit ness' of my systems | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: your 32bit PAE kernel can access up to 64Gb RAM, but each process will see 3.2Gb RAM max | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: not now multiarch exists :) | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | i cant think of much software thats 3bit only these days | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: brother drivers are 32bit only | 11:02 |
| * dr_willis hammers his 2 key some more.. | 11:02 | |
| hateball | For what it's worth, Valve just released Steam for Linux (well beta) and it's 32-bit -_- | 11:02 |
| Evil_Eric | ive never had an issue with 64bitness just thinking logicaly if im not running 364 bit apps the what have a 64 bit os | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hateball: there are a list of packages on omgubuntu to install (32bit deps) to make it run :) | 11:03 |
| Evil_Eric | omg the tons os lib 1i386 files | 11:03 |
| cojy_ | hi..I am having an issue regarding the installation of openCA..does anybody know what this is and can help me? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: yes, same with skype :( | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | the 'biggest' issue ive seen with 3 vs 64bit these days is the silly '32 bit reccomended' line at the ubuntu download page. ;) | 11:04 |
| hateball | ActionParsnip: Yes, I've got it running. I was just saying, people still release 32-bit only stuff these days | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hateball: makes sense, runs on both :) | 11:04 |
| Evil_Eric | dr_willis: this is the real reason im even trying 32bit | 11:04 |
| Evil_Eric | even better just run windows <----this is a joke please dont get 2 offended | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | i think im the only person that hasent tried setam yet.. | 11:06 |

| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: not tried it either | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: only game I play (and rarely) is Urban Terror (availabble from PlayDeb) | 11:09 |
| Evil_Eric | you know i realy do not like wine to me on any machine ive used it on it seamed buggy | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | with all these humble bundels and stuff including linux native games. I dont think i will need steam on linux for w ehile. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: depends on the app you are using in Wine really | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: Postal2 runs well | 11:10 |
| fyksen | dr_willis, Indy games are awesome, but it's great to have multiplayer games to play with friends to : ) | 11:10 |

| hex20dec | Hey people, I just created a new user using useradd -d /home/<user> -m <user> and now, in the new user I've lost all terminal functionality like history when pressing up and down, the path as I move along directories and also tab doesn't work and probably more that I didn't notice | 11:22 |
| hex20dec | How do I fix that? | 11:22 |
| Evil_Eric | ok ill join through xchat | 11:22 |
| marsfligth | dr_willis: Thanks for answering, I mean when I switch on the Computer after that has been switched off and unplugged from the power cord | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hex20dec: the new user's history will build as you use it. Is there a .bash_history in the new user's $HOME | 11:23 |
| Evil_Eric | 1 of these 4 usb drives will be the right one | 11:23 |
| MonkeyDust | hex20dec type bash, as a command, i mean | 11:23 |
| vooze | ActionParsnip: no luck with the first thing.. trying to add dns server in interfaces now :) | 11:24 |
| jaw | are there any plans to make 12.04 install bootloader to UEFI system boot area? I had to use 12.10 on my brand new laptop because of this... | 11:24 |
| Evil_Eric | ok guys bbl | 11:24 |
| Evil_Eric | whats better for media and stuff 12.04 or 12.10 | 11:25 |
| hex20dec | MonkeyDust: Hey, everything works when I type bash but then how do I make it startup as I start terminal? | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | Evil_Eric: id go with 12 | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | 10 | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | oops. | 11:26 |
| Evil_Eric | ok | 11:26 |
| Evil_Eric | lmao | 11:26 |
| hex20dec | MonkeyDust: And why isn't directly like that as I create a new user? | 11:26 |
| fyksen | Evil_Eric, Define "media and shit". | 11:26 |
| Evil_Eric | i was about to get on ya about just putting 12 | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | newer media player apps ;-) | 11:26 |
| fyksen | Woops. ment "media and stuff ofc" | 11:27 |
| marsfligth | dr_willis: I use a KVM for my pc's and when I restart one I have to stay still on the os the pc thats rebooting. If I go to another pc linked at kwm, when I'm back to the rebooted one I find a screen resolution like 800x600 or less | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | hex20dec first thing on my mind: put it in .bashrc, but i'm sure there's a variable for it, don't know which, exactly | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: how do you mean 'media'? It's so ambiguous it's nearly meaningless | 11:27 |
| Evil_Eric | pictures movies more movies games emulaters phone calls and everything els i can think of | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Evil_Eric: they are equal in that way | 11:28 |
| fyksen | Evil_Eric, I would go with 12.10 to. You get the newest driver. A downside is that Steam official only support 12.04, but I run it without any problems @ 12.10 :) | 11:29 |
| dr_willis | marsfligth: kvms are known to cause problems. you may want to search askubuntu.com for kvm fixs. ivenever used one. the xrandr tools may be of use to you also | 11:29 |

| ActionParsnip | vooze: sweet, you are usising static IP, so no DHCP request is sent | 11:35 |

| === Harry is now known as Guest12923 | ||
| vooze | ActionParsnip: yeah I see, the weird thing is that it was working before :) | 11:36 |
| vooze | for like several months with no problems | 11:36 |
| jrib | hex20dec: because when you use "useradd" the user's shell is set to "sh" which points to dash instead of bash. You should either change the user's shell using the usermod command (you may also want to copy the files from /etc/skel/ since that's what adduser would have done) or you can just delete this new user and create him again using "adduser" instead of "useradd" | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | vooze: without nameservers you cannot translate web names to IPs ;) | 11:36 |
| jrib | hex20dec: erm, chsh would also work instead of usermod | 11:37 |
| hex20dec | jrib: Will try usermod or chsh now. | 11:38 |
| lollko | hi | 11:38 |
| lollko | ;) | 11:38 |
| jrib | hex20dec: ok, in the future though, just use adduser | 11:38 |
| hex20dec | Thanks. | 11:39 |
| InFlames | why does useradd exist? | 11:39 |
| lhavelund | useradd is a very low-level basic program. | 11:39 |
| InFlames | so the man page says | 11:39 |
| lhavelund | for an easier and more automated tool, try "adduser" instead. | 11:39 |
| InFlames | i see, i got confused too | 11:39 |
| lhavelund | understandably, they're too similar in name. | 11:40 |
| hex20dec | jrib: Okay, so I entered: usermod -s bash <user> and opened a new terminal and still nothing. | 11:41 |
| hex20dec | jrib: Is this the correct command? Or do I have to relogin? | 11:42 |
| marsfligth | dr_willis: I'll ask on the site suggested, but I'd like underline that the behavior is the same as if I switch on the pc booting the OS keeping the monitor off | 11:42 |
| jrib | hex20dec: you need to login again | 11:43 |
| jrib | hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc... | 11:43 |
| hex20dec | jrib: I relogged in, and now I'm not even getting the $ that I was getting before in the terminal. | 11:46 |
| hex20dec | jrib: It's just a blank terminal. | 11:46 |
| jrib | hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc... | 11:47 |
| jrib | hex20dec: i.e. you should pass "/bin/bash", not "bash" | 11:48 |

| hex20dec | jrib, froze... =\ Restarting. | 11:53 |
| keeperZ | does ubuntu 12.10 support ATI Radeon HD graphics cards ? | 11:54 |
| jrib | hex20dec: at this point you're likely going to have to use your other user to make the changes | 11:54 |
| hex20dec | Yeah, I realized. | 11:54 |
| keeperZ | why does it only work with 12.04 and previous versions | 11:54 |
| jrib | hex20dec: using chsh is a little safer in that sense; it would warn you about not having a valid shell | 11:55 |
| Miscni | keeperZ, join the club, I have been asking for that since 10.04 | 11:56 |

| kathie | I installed 12.04 on my new laptop yesterday (Asus A53U) My wireless card is an Atheros AR9485. My wireless connection is very slow. Ihave it hooked through the ethernet to get a connection. I updated hoping it would help, but it didn't. Can someone help me with this? | 11:58 |
| keeperZ | hmmm gues i have to stick with 12.04 then . Dont know why ubuntu's new versions through away older driver support . What a shame on them | 11:58 |
| InFlames | so you already have the phone number atleast :] | 11:59 |
| andrija_ | srsly ive heard there is some program that unified all airxx-ng commands | 11:59 |
| InFlames | i thought everyone cracked wifi on backtrack... | 12:02 |

| === alex____1 is now known as peanutbutterjell | ||
| ActionParsnip | InFlames: there are a few distros that have tools like that, backtrack is far from something new | 12:03 |

| ActionParsnip | InFlames: adobe air was dropped from linux AGES ago | 12:06 |

| ActionParsnip | InFlames: what does the app do? | 12:07 |
| InFlames | just another reminder of how adobe has abandoned me | 12:07 |
| InFlames | it does really hand drawn looking mockups | 12:08 |
| InFlames | i prefer it's hand drawn feel, because it allows the client to not picture the mockups as a completed product, but as a rough | 12:08 |
| InFlames | believe it or not, the square edges really cause them to focus too much on the aesthetics | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | InFlames: http://www.tomshardware.com%2Fforum%2F238128-50-adobe-again-drops-flash-support-linux | 12:09 |
| InFlames | damn, again? | 12:09 |
| InFlames | just a bunch of teases... | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | InFlames: not hugely, just an asshat company | 12:10 |
| devswap | so you think that they dont give adobe cs support on linux because they have an agreement with windows and apple? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | InFlames: I use chrome, they have their own flash in there which works well. No Adobe stuff | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: I doubt they have any 'agreement' its just the platforms they are choosing to support | 12:10 |
| InFlames | i think google suffers from their own asshatery | 12:11 |
| InFlames | asshattery*? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | InFlames: omgubuntu has a page on it | 12:11 |
| InFlames | well that's for the low down on my issue | 12:11 |
| InFlames | sounds like it's a much bigger issue than i'd expected | 12:12 |
| InFlames | but oh well, that happens | 12:12 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: I think for many designers if CS was available on linux it would take away lots of apple hardware sales and hence I always wonder if they have an agreement with adobe not to release it on linux | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: possible, but not confirmable ;) | 12:12 |
| InFlames | dev, i think it's probably a fair amount of work to make it work on "linux" versus a few configurations for apple for millions of dollars | 12:13 |
| InFlames | i say "linux" because it's like windows, millions of configurations, but it's missing those big dollar signs you get with windows | 12:14 |
| InFlames | also, i don't know if adobe could milk it with the high prices they do either | 12:15 |
| InFlames | but i am realizing that's all offtopic ;x | 12:15 |

| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: yeah, I saw that (viral) video about Ubuntu for phones | 12:23 |

| ActionParsnip | devswap: i'd say so considering you can setup an SFTP server on your PC and port forward though the router. You can then access your data anywhere | 12:26 |
| belgianguy | k1l_: ah okay, too bad, was kinda waiting for Ubuntu "ads" in a way | 12:27 |
| belgianguy | as it's becoming so nice | 12:27 |
| belgianguy | (and always has been) :p | 12:27 |
| belgianguy | but the main site barely mentions the phone part, so the video overshoots its target, or points to something that the rest can't yet see | 12:28 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: well I agree but it isnt because of that - they do have to maintain a datacentre and security, backups etc. But with dropbox you get 100GB for the same cost as 60GB with ubuntuone | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | devswap: you can compare stuff like that in any purchasing situation | 12:28 |
| devswap | actionparsnip: I realise that but if they want ubuntuone to take off then shouldnt it compete equally if not be cheaper? I dont know for certain but I suspect that dropbox has better functionality also | 12:29 |
| marsfligth | How to set statically the screen resolution. If I switch on the pc with the monitor off and I switch on it after that the system has been full loaded, I get a resolution 800x600.

| llutz | devswap: if they want ubuntuone to take off, they 1st should publish packages for different linux-distros | 12:31 |
| belgianguy | devswap: the competition in the 'cloud storage' is pretty intensive, with Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud , SkyDrive, Box and Ubuntu One | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: is the client not opensourc? | 12:32 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: it is but only ubuntu is packaged | 12:32 |
| devswap | belgianguy: yes and hence I think it should be cheaper not more expensive | 12:32 |
| belgianguy | there's a limit on how much storage they can offer, keeping the hw up to date, and also the number of people they can reach | 12:32 |
| belgianguy | Ubuntu isn't Apple, Microsoft or Google | 12:32 |
| belgianguy | while it's cross-platform, it probably doesn't appear on the radar of John/Jane Does | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: so other distros could package it ;) | 12:33 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: if canonical will spread U1, its THEIR job to do it | 12:34 |
| belgianguy | I'm hoping that once Steam rolls out, Ubuntu dares to advertise itself in a more aggressive way | 12:34 |
| jord333 | hi - i have unallowacted space right next to me linux partition but "resize/move" is greyed out - any ideas why? | 12:35 |
| k1l_ | i think that ubuntu-one-prizing and ubuntu4android topic would better suit into the #ubuntu-discuss oder #ubuntu-offtopic channel, since that is no real techn. support issue. | 12:35 |
| belgianguy | k1l_: fine, I'll keep it to myself | 12:35 |

| dhankher | I am unable to install ubuntu 12.04 on my PC.... Its a dual-core 1.5 GB Ram Machine | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: i guess, but if distributions wanted their user base to use the service then they would need to compile something suitable for their distro | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: what happens when you try? | 12:39 |
| dhankher | It says failed to copy files ... | 12:39 |
| dhankher | I tried multiple DVDs .. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 12:40 |
| dhankher | yes ... and I am also able to install other distros | 12:40 |
| dhankher | but not ubntu | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: did you burn the DVD as slowly as possible? | 12:40 |
| dhankher | Yes | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: If you have multiple optical drives, did you try the other drives? | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: have you tried installing via USB? | 12:41 |
| dhankher | Yes | 12:41 |
| dhankher | No ... I have not tried that .. | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dhankher: so the only error you get is the file copying? | 12:42 |
| dhankher | Yes ... I am able to run the Live CD/DVD but can't install it | 12:43 |

| ciclone | hi guys | 12:47 |
| belgianguy | what is the normal way of uninstalling Web-Apps btw? | 12:47 |
| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| belgianguy | without going to hidden .local folders | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: they are just packages | 12:48 |
| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: there's little info on how to remove them | 12:49 |
| auronandace | belgianguy: the same way you uninstall everything else: via the package manager | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: same way you uninstall apps, use software centre | 12:49 |
| Kowalczyk | hi... anyone been able to install warsow on ubuntu 12.10? I try the playdeb but I get an error in software manager | 12:49 |
| belgianguy | well, they enter through a browser plugin, perhaps a small teeny bit could be added that they can be found/configured in the SC | 12:50 |
| === Guest79210 is now known as Ex0deus | ||
| Kowalczyk | here isn’t a software package called “warsow” in your current software sources. | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: when you select to enable them, it just makes your OS install some packages from the repos. SO uninstalling them is no different at all to removing any other application you can name | 12:50 |
| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: I'm in the Software centre atm, and I'm looking for both Reddit and Grooveshark webapps by using the search function | 12:52 |
| belgianguy | they don't show up (but are still installed) | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: in a terminal, run: dpkg -l | grep groo see what comes out | 12:53 |
| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: I know how to uninstall them through the terminal, it's just that it'd be nice if it could be done through a UI as well | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | belgianguy: search for: groov and mark the package for removal (so much slower imho) | 12:54 |
| belgianguy | ActionParsnip: I was thinking more of something to do with the web-app Unity icon, can't they add a "remove" right-screen menu? | 12:55 |
| belgianguy | that'd be intuitive and simple | 12:55 |
| belgianguy | also: ii unity-webapps-grooveshark 2.2 all Unity Webapp for grooveshark | 12:56 |
| belgianguy | where would I mark the package for removal? | 12:57 |
| belgianguy | Synaptic? | 12:57 |

| jnhghy | Hi, I need help with cups, I can't get the printers to show up in the web interface, you can see what I'm seeing here : http://imagebin.org/235810 also my cupsd.conf file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/efh64Ygk can anybody help? | 13:06 |
| InFlames | Mask, did you try to install drivers for the video card by chance? | 13:06 |
| hex20dec | jrib, Not really. chsh didn't work and neither did usermod. | 13:06 |
| thoonai | k1l_: why? | 13:06 |
| jrib | hex20dec: what happened when you tried? (and how did you try) | 13:06 |
| hex20dec | jrib: So at the end I deleted the user and added it with adduser | 13:06 |
| jrib | hex20dec: oh, ok | 13:07 |
| MasKBoss | InFlames, as i told u im really new, i thought it would be part of the installation process. anyway, how can i install anything if i can't even use it? | 13:07 |
| hex20dec | Well, I tried chsh -s /bin/bash <user> | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | thoonai: so people can use 32bit OS on 64bit cpu with lots of ram | 13:07 |
| jrib | hex20dec: maybe you forgot to give the user a home when you created him with useradd? | 13:07 |
| hex20dec | jrib | 13:07 |
| InFlames | MasKBoss, I am trying to maybe see if your problem is similar to mine, post install, can you explain what you did to cause it? | 13:08 |
| InFlames | did it happen immediately after install? | 13:08 |
| k1l_ | thoonai: why? i did not take part in that decision. but most cpus got that pae nowadays. but i think there are some kernels for non_pae around. | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | haso: what video chip do you use? | 13:08 |
| thoonai | k1l_: kay | 13:08 |
| hex20dec | jrib: I gave it a home, but the weird part is, after I used the usermod or chsh and tried logging in to that same user, the entire machine froze, everytime. | 13:08 |
| jrib | hex20dec: weird | 13:08 |
| hex20dec | jrib: I had to actually click the restart button on the tower. | 13:09 |
| hex20dec | =\ | 13:09 |
| hex20dec | jrib: But thanks for your help. | 13:09 |
| fiveop | Short question: When installing on a laptop with Intel Smart Response Techn. should I put grub on the (small) SSD or the HD, or rather how do I find out where the bios boots from? | 13:09 |
| k1l_ | thoonai: if you are interested in that issue you can take a look into the mailinglists. there was the announcement | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: what video chip do you use? | 13:09 |
| hex20dec | jrib: How was the gym? | 13:09 |
| marsfligth | How can I do apply my default resolution (1680x1050) even if wile booting the screen is off? Actually if the monitor it set at 800x600. Thanks for reading | 13:09 |
| MasKBoss | InFlames: yes immediatly! after installation, it asks to remove the CD, and reboot. after that, only walpaper and mouse cursor appears! tryed some more reboots, still the same.. | 13:09 |
| jrib | hex20dec: great :) Thanks for asking | 13:09 |
| hex20dec | =] | 13:09 |
| InFlames | wow, MasKBoss, that is alot worse than my problem, atleast I was able to tell what caused it :/ | 13:10 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip: well, it's from an old computer, i'm not quite sure, but i think it's an nvidia chip | 13:10 |
| InFlames | someone more capable can probably help you | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: does the system have a make and model? | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: if you press CTRL+ALT+T do you get a terminal? | 13:10 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip it doesnt, i assembled the system | 13:11 |
| thoonai | k1l_: but why does the kernel needs cmov and cx8? shouldnt be the minimal as compatible as possible? | 13:11 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip, yes! its the only thing i can do! | 13:11 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip, i saw it on a forum, asking to remove "xorg" or something... | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: ok, run: lspci | grep -i vga what is output (summerize if you want) | 13:11 |
| === richard is now known as Guest65593 | ||
| k1l_ | thoonai: dont know. but the minimal isnt compatible as possible. its minimal as possible :) | 13:11 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip ok gimme a sec pls | 13:12 |
| thoonai | k1l_: fooooooo | 13:12 |
| thoonai | im going to offtopic for ranting | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | thoonai: if you don't have a PAE enabled CPU, install Lubuntu 32bit and you won't need PAE. The kernel in 12.04 Lubuntu isn't PAE requiring :) | 13:14 |
| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip sorry for the delay. have to switch monitors and stuff. | 13:15 |
| masterofall | quiet in here at the moment. am assuming no ubuntu problems. i guess that's a good thing. | 13:15 |

| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip well it said something like this: VGA Compatible Controller [AMD] nee ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO ] | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: cool, good enough. Use the terminal to get updated. It may help | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:17 |

| Calinou | some suggested me to disable microphone, but I can't do that since I'm using it | 17:27 |

| tsaavik | jrib: yup, groups shows all the groups now | 17:27 |
| tsaavik | dammit | 17:27 |
| tsaavik | thanks jrib | 17:27 |

| nbubuntu | hi , I need a bit of help . Ubuntu default photo view is called "Shotwell Image Viewer" . How do I set it to remember photo size for every photo ? Let's say the shotwell image viewer was resize to 640x480 , but if I open another photo it jump back to full screen.How do i set it not to get full screen or customize size .? Thanks :) | 17:28 |
| tsaavik | hehe, he did huh. ugh. I was so paranoid to lose root on the machine I never killed my initial connection | 17:28 |
| Calinou | mneptok: nope. I'm using headphones + microphone, I had no issues on windows (probably because of the way it renders the desktop) | 17:28 |
| Calinou | if I remove my headphones I can still hear the sound when being near the computer... | 17:29 |
| tsaavik | time to turn off ControlMaster in sshd, thanks again | 17:29 |
| Calinou | but when I'm running a 3D app that has its FPS < 200 (too high causes the sound again), the sound is less noticable (but it can still be heard, lower-pitched, sounds like a chainsaw, but very quiet) | 17:29 |
| jrib | nbubuntu: you want to define a geometry size for shotwell to always open with it? | 17:29 |
| mneptok | Calinou: do the speakers make the noise, or just the 'phones? | 17:30 |
| jrib | tsaavik: yeah I had that on for about a day before I came across some issue... | 17:30 |
| nbubuntu | jrib: yes :) | 17:30 |

| mneptok | Calinou: then it may be the physical connector, or something software related. try a Live session of another DE and/or distro. see if the problem persists. | 17:34 |
| Calinou | this also happens on the live USB of xubuntu and lubuntu. i bet it will happen with any linux distro | 17:34 |
| Calinou | this seems to be related to graphics | 17:34 |
| Calinou | whenever I'm running a 3D app with high FPS the sound is high pitched. lower FPS = lower pitched, more chainsaw-like | 17:35 |
| Calinou | (both nouveau and nvidia driver do that) | 17:35 |

| Halbyrd | recently installed 12.10 on my Zenbook Prime UX31A, and it's giving me a problem: USB flash drives are not showing up. they don't light up, and dmesg and lsusb don't even acknowledge that anything was plugged in. | 18:39 |
| Halbyrd | tried googling, came up dry | 18:39 |

| Halbyrd | here's the screwy thing though, if I plug a USB drive in and reboot, the drive shows up and mounts correctly then. if I disconnect the drive and try to reconnect, it again doesn't show up | 18:40 |

| SamIAm | I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced. | 18:44 |
| jrib | SamIAm: what package did you purge? (Note: I have no idea how ubuntu one works but am bored and have seen your question several times :)) | 18:45 |
| DJones | SamIAm: It may be worth asking that in #ubuntuone (I'm pretty sure thats the main support channel for Ubuntu One) | 18:45 |
| SamIAm | jrib, I purged ubuntu-one. DJones, I'll ask there too | 18:47 |
| jrib | SamIAm: what ubuntu version? | 18:48 |
| SamIAm | jrib, 12.10 | 18:52 |
| jrib | !info ubuntu-one | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Package ubuntu-one does not exist in quantal | 18:52 |
| jrib | SamIAm: I don't see any "ubuntu-one" package | 18:52 |
| SamIAm | jrib, it may have been ubuntuone. In any case, I tried both and neither appeared on my system | 18:53 |

| Sonderblade | any guide somewhere for painlessy upgrading from ubuntu jaunty? | 18:55 |

| cookie1980 | you would still need a valid license of ms windows | 19:47 |
| Sonderblade | jrib: great! then my next problem is only that i do not want to burn a cd | 19:47 |

| unrar | Ciao! | 20:44 |
| fribuntu | Hi, can someone tell me, why the netatalk package on 12.04 has been compiled without the "ACL" feature? And is there an alternate package repository that might provide a more current and feature complete version? | 20:44 |
| pr0ph3t | I just installed the new nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.10 and now my nvidia card is not being recognised, what can I do now? | 20:45 |
| mrdavid | I'm running 64 bit 12.04 and youtube (flash) videos tend to start playing audio long before the video appears. The box is a quad xeon with 24 gigs of ram so the hardware shouldn't be an issue. | 20:45 |
| smoochict | mrdavid: flash has been discontinued on ubuntu afaik | 20:46 |
| * OpenSorce stomps foot | 20:46 | |
| mrdavid | smoochict: I still receive flash updates | 20:46 |
| smoochict | mrdavid: hmm, adobe flash website tells me its discontinued on linux os's | 20:47 |
| OpenSorce | I'm trying to setup a machine with Ubuntu as a media center but it's hard to do when the screen keeps blacking out ever 10 minutes. I've disabled the screensaver and commented out the DPMS line in xorg.conf. Do I really have to remove apci to make it stop? | 20:48 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: what's the output of « xset q »? | 20:48 |
| mrdavid | smoochict: this is what I'm using: flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.251ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 20:48 |
| omerozkan | I have a problem with resolution. | 20:48 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, one sec | 20:49 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, it still says DPMS is enabled | 20:49 |
| guntbert | !details | omerozkan | 20:49 |

| jrib | OpenSorce: well there you go I guess | 20:50 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, okay... so how do I disable it then? | 20:50 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: you can manipulate those settings with xset dpms X Y Z (you probably want to make X=Y=Z=0) | 20:51 |
| OpenSorce | jrib, thanks. Now will this be a permanent change or will I need to do this next reboot? | 20:52 |
| omerozkan | I have a problem with resolution, I'm running Ubuntu version 12.10 I cannot change resolution of my screen to best resolution. | 20:52 |
| jrib | OpenSorce: not permanent | 20:52 |
| smoochict | omerozkan: is this on a virtual machine? or real computer | 20:52 |

| Juno88 | and this is a total mistake | 21:29 |
| smoochict | Omegas: do you have full access to the computer/hardware? or if this is a KVM vm then you can do it via vnc | 21:30 |
| bekks | Omegas: root has no password, by default. | 21:30 |
| ekhaat | Juno88, why a mistake? | 21:30 |
| Omegas | it's a VM | 21:30 |
| smoochict | Omegas: do you have your own none root user account? | 21:30 |
| Juno88 | i think it won't run on ubuntu no mater wut i'll try to do | 21:30 |
| ekhaat | Juno88, you did try? | 21:30 |
| smoochict | Omegas: you should have sudo privileges, so you can do sudo passwd | 21:30 |
| delac | Juno88: you might want to be slightly more specific about the model | 21:30 |
| [snake] | so I can't get GFCE Ultra to work :/ and the visual only works when the audio is disable. but when the audio is enabled it sucks anyway. but I want both to function properly, any ideas? | 21:30 |
| Juno88 | simple opticon icon, i'll have to check the model... | 21:31 |
| Omegas | my account is what I don't remember, when I hit enter at the password prompt it keeps asking for a password. I might have enabled root but for the life of me I have tired all my default passwords | 21:31 |
| smoochict | Omegas: you need to reset the root password then | 21:32 |
| bekks | Omegas: Then use a live CD to take a look at the /etc/passwd to get the username and then reset the password for that user. | 21:32 |
| bekks | smoochict: There is no root password to be reset in Ubuntu. | 21:32 |
| Juno88 | k, opticon icon 225 | 21:32 |
| bekks | !root | smoochict | 21:32 |
| ubottu | smoochict: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:32 |
| Juno88 | and the mistake is the fact that it's terribly slow | 21:32 |
| Omegas | haha thats good | 21:32 |
| ekhaat | Juno88, :-) | 21:33 |
| smoochict | bekks: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/reset-root-password-ubuntu-linux-without-cd/ this is what i was suggesting if the user does not have access to their own user account either | 21:33 |
| Juno88 | also disconnect with even slightest move (not too well for a portable) | 21:33 |
| bekks | smoochict: Then please read the message ubottu sent to you seconds ago :) | 21:33 |
| luckybunny | I've had this unusual problem for a few weeks (I'd guess at since upgrading to 12.10), where when I switch audio application (for example starting a video in vlc, or pausing it to play audio in something else etc) I get a very strong staticky sound over the audio for a short while, which then clears up | 21:33 |
| Omegas | ok i'll have to make a live disk | 21:33 |
| smoochict | bekks: i never suggested to guess the password… it has nothing to do with "sudo" if the user can't access their own account. | 21:34 |
| bekks | smoochict: Still there is no need to set a root password. | 21:34 |
| smoochict | bekks: why no need? | 21:34 |
| Omegas | btw realize is spelled wrong | 21:34 |
| TheChemist | I am desperately trying to get some help | 21:34 |
| bekks | smoochict: I already explained it twice :) | 21:34 |
| bekks | smoochict: a) you dont need a root password to get your lost username and b) you dont need a root password to reset a users password. | 21:35 |
| smoochict | bekks: Ubuntu has a root account, with no password.. therefore, if the user wants to have direct access to root.. they are entitled to…. | 21:35 |
| ekhaat | TheChemist, hopefully not the chemical kind :-) | 21:35 |
| luckybunny | it only seems to be immediately when playing sounds from a new source, starting skype does the same thing, but it clears up as long as I stick to the same source (i.e if I start skype, the startup sound will be all staticky, but by the time I make a call it'll have sorted itself, but if I pause a video in vlc, play something else and come back to vlc, it'll affect vlc again) | 21:36 |
| gordonjcp | !help | TheChemist | 21:36 |
| ubottu | TheChemist: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:36 |
| TheChemist | I am a newbie to linux, newbie to ubuntu. I installed the latest version, however the driver for my belkin F9L 1002v1 wouldn't support packet injection. So I uninstalled and went to 10.04 and I am trying to just get my wireless usb adapter to work, and hopefully get it to work with a draver that supports packet injection | 21:36 |
| bekks | smoochict: The user just dont need root access in the given case. | 21:36 |
| gordonjcp | smoochict: having a valid root login is silly | 21:37 |
| gordonjcp | I wish other distros would get their heads around this idea, too | 21:37 |
| smoochict | bekks, gordonjcp: yes i understand that, but the user need not reset the root password following the same steps provided in the link, they can reset their own account, look in /etc/passwd. | 21:37 |
| === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off | ||

| PT-AloneInDark | Hi there | 21:39 |
| smoochict | gordonjcp: you don't need any password or credentials to do that if you boot up differently | 21:39 |
| simplew | can i ask here for Ubuntu One support? | 21:39 |
| gordonjcp | smoochict: if you boot in single-user mode, no | 21:39 |
| gordonjcp | smoochict: but in pretty much any OS if you have physical access to the machine and the ability to manipulate the boot sequence, you can get root access | 21:40 |
| smoochict | gordonjcp: right, thats what i was trying to explain | 21:40 |
| gordonjcp | smoochict: but that's what one line of the !root factoid says ;-) | 21:41 |
| gordonjcp | sorry, !password | 21:41 |
| smoochict | gordonjcp: the root factoid says nothing about single user mode | 21:41 |
| ekhaat | TheChemist, no idea, I have done many installations over the past two years, and wireless drivers really don't seem to be a problem, not in my cases anyway | 21:41 |
| gordonjcp | smoochict: I meant !password | 21:41 |
| smoochict | yep, i just saw that message now lol | 21:41 |

| fluitfries | CodeRat, do you think this is a video driver issue? | 22:43 |
| roger__ | is there anyway to mount just a folder from a ntfs partition at boot, i really don't need the entire drive mounted | 22:43 |
| Slart | babyswizz: are you running virtualbox or some other vm? | 22:43 |
| CodeRat | fluitfries hard to say. I don't even have a dedicated GPU in my box. I refuse to install blob drivers. Use the GMA in my Sandy Bridge 2600 | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Rallias: no | 22:44 |
| babyswizz | slart, am running virtualbox | 22:44 |
| fluitfries | CodeRat, ok. i'll try to keep googling. | 22:44 |
| ikonia | roger__: sorry, no | 22:44 |
| georgeph | CodeRat...well i don't like blobs either but this non-propietary driver really sucks | 22:44 |
| Slart | babyswizz: in the normal virtualbox starting thingy.. where you have a list of your virtual machines | 22:45 |
| Slart | babyswizz: right-click on your ubuntu vm and select "Settings" | 22:45 |
| CodeRat | fluitfries hence I am a Debian GNU/Linux user =). Zero blobs in the kernel etc. Hope you get it sorted. | 22:46 |
| Slart | babyswizz: you should get a new window with a list-box on the left with "General", "System", "Display" and so on | 22:46 |
| Slart | babyswizz: click on "Network" in that list-box and you should get some settings on the right part of the window | 22:46 |
| georgeph | i really used to like my old radeon...but the doggone shader versions are too old for many of the emulators | 22:47 |
| gauche | how do i mount my cd | 22:47 |
| CodeRat | georgeph yeah they do suck. But I got to say the GMA that is embedded in the ivy bridge is darn fast. | 22:47 |
| CodeRat | geogeph and Intel is quite open with their hw etc. Mesa is a joy to program. | 22:48 |
| georgeph | CodeRat well everybody says the sandy bridge finally qualifies as an elementary apu | 22:48 |
| georgeph | CodeRat so intel is making progress | 22:48 |
| CodeRat | sandy bridge is not that great but the ivy is a lot faster. Nothing for hard core gaming though. | 22:48 |
| JimmyNeutron | After rebooting my Ubuntu 12.04, I lost my wireless card. If I do a iwconfig, I see the wireless interface, but it says ESSID:off/any | 22:49 |
| CodeRat | as far as the GPU goes that is | 22:49 |
| Slart | babyswizz: this is what the window should look like http://imagebin.org/235891 | 22:49 |
| JimmyNeutron | I tried to bring it back up with sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 22:49 |
| JimmyNeutron | but that didn't work. | 22:49 |
| lester_ | #ttoonloop | 22:49 |
| georgeph | CodeRat..well just give intel some time they are starting to achieve some benchmarks and there are a few games for the intel stuff without 3rd party gpus already | 22:49 |
| x__ | CodeRat, clock for clock ivy is only 5-10% fastr | 22:49 |
| roger__ | intel will never be a major competitor in the graphics market | 22:50 |
| CodeRat | georgeph yeah, who would have thought! They are actively working with the open source community. | 22:50 |
| georgeph | roger_ i wouldn't bet on that | 22:50 |
| x__ | roger__, they might be if they buy ATI when amd goes under | 22:50 |
| roger__ | they are years behind everyone else | 22:50 |

| ubottu | Just remember everyone: #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! | 22:50 |
| bkc_ | x__: have fun waiting for that to happen ;) | 22:50 |
| x__ | for what amd to go under? | 22:51 |
| georgeph | roger_ well amd is giving intel hell...their latest multitasking video really outshines intel's stuff at the moment | 22:51 |
| babyswizz | slart, thanks and i going to try it now | 22:51 |
| georgeph | roger_ very smooth multitasking results on the amd platform | 22:51 |
| x__ | bkc_, amd is going under in the nxt 5 years they already said so them selves basically, google it they are checking out options on selling patents wtc. | 22:51 |
| georgeph | roger_ at least for some apps their video shows | 22:51 |
| Slart | babyswizz: do that.. "NAT" is the setting you want for the vm to just use the host internet connection.. I'm assuming it's available on windows just as it is on linux | 22:51 |
| CodeRat | x__ think the HD Graphics 4000 GPGPU is quite decent. Then again I am not much of a gamer. | 22:52 |
| roger__ | i have a pure amd system here, there isn't any intel system can match the quality and performance i get | 22:52 |
| x__ | CodeRat, quite decent for playing HD video | 22:52 |
| georgeph | roger_ but when intel sees that video they will probably go to work on something more competitive | 22:52 |
| x__ | not for gaming, I have an i5 3570k btw. | 22:52 |
| babyswizz | slart, it is but its like i have to shut down the guest to change the settings | 22:52 |
| Slart | babyswizz: yes, I think you have to close the vm to change settings | 22:53 |
| x__ | intel just released a COMPUTE gpu processing thingamabob that is only a bit behind tesla, they are catching up in some ways. | 22:54 |
| roger__ | this system i have isn't top notch by any means, but amd radeon hd 6670 running xvba mplayer only doing 1-3% cpu with vaapi on 1080p, intel can't touch that performance that this video puts out | 22:54 |
| ikonia | x__: who was that to ? | 22:54 |
| Slart | x_, roger__ can't you take this to #hardware or something like that? seems you're pretty far out of ubuntu-land by now =) | 22:55 |
| CodeRat | x__ I am just using a i7 2600 (not the k since I need VT-D) with a mega its crappy GPU and I can do the stuff I am showing here www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WnaZL3ARN0 | 22:55 |
| georgeph | roger_ yea i can see right now amd is giving intel hell..with a smoother multitasking system under heavier loads | 22:55 |
| x__ | georgehank, problem is amd is ahead of the times with there chips, 8 cores is worthless when no apps use 8 cores lol. | 22:56 |
| CodeRat | Only "beef" I got with Intel is how the C states work for boost ect. Not that they don't document that stuff. Just damn hard to wrap you head around. | 22:56 |
| === dark3ng is now known as dark3n | ||

| roger__ | i better get me one of them 8 core fx before amd buckles under though lol, while they still cheap | 22:56 |
| CodeRat | split =) | 22:57 |
| georgeph | but intel finally achieved an apu...so it is just a matter of time before it gets faster to compete with nvidia's einstien... | 22:57 |
| x__ | when did intel make an apu ? | 22:57 |
| aali83 | Hi guys, can anyone please help me with my gnome session its not behaving properly | 22:57 |
| ikonia | guys, this isn't ubuntu related | 22:57 |
| georgeph | x_ well everybody says that sandy bridge really qualifies as an elementary apu | 22:57 |
| ikonia | please take it to ##hardware | 22:57 |
| CodeRat | I do want AMD to come back into the picture. Never good when just one player does not have competition. | 22:58 |

| CalvinnHobbes | I have a file server running ubuntu server, it currently is running nfs-server. It works, and always grants read privs to clients. However, it is flaky with write privs. When it does work, it seems to screw up ownership. I think the solution is to set up LDAP, however I don't know if that is overkill. This is just a file server running on my home network. Does anyone have an advice about whether this is the best approach? | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gauche: install kde, log off then log into the KDE session | 23:04 |
| HonestAbe | is there a nexus 7 specific ubuntu room? | 23:04 |
| Slart | CalvinnHobbes: setting up LDAP is always overkill.. no matter what superpower you're trying to run =) Are you doing anything weird with the write permissions? | 23:05 |

| CalvinnHobbes | ok thanks ill post it in a sec | 23:12 |
| CodeRat | was waiting for that ehlo ... ah the telnet days | 23:12 |
| AlinMarincu | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and i'm having troubles with wireless connection, something like the wlan driver is missing... the connection doesn't show available. What can I do? | 23:12 |
| SolarisBoy | CodeRat: =) | 23:12 |
| AlinMarincu | I've followed so many youtube tutorial but I didn't manage to solve this problem | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: what wifi chip? | 23:13 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu is a USB wifi dongle. One built into your mobo? A card? | 23:14 |
| AlinMarincu | ActionParsnip: RTL8187SE | 23:15 |
| AlinMarincu | no CodeRat | 23:16 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu Is it a Alfa? | 23:16 |
| AlinMarincu | what you mean by alfa? sorry but i'm not very good at computers | 23:17 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu oh wait that thing. Right its that little card thing in laptops. Try lspci and see if it is picked up | 23:17 |
| AlinMarincu | yeah it is | 23:19 |
| AlinMarincu | the last row shows it | 23:19 |

| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 23:20 |
| AlinMarincu | thanks ActionParsnip. gonna try right now | 23:20 |
| georgeph | i don't know what is wrong with that vulpine glmark it doesn't seem to like many gpu chips | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: run: lsb_release -sc in a terminal, what is output? | 23:21 |
| AlinMarincu | it shows nothing, invalid command | 23:22 |
| georgeph | right now i am just trying get opgl2 working as cheap as i can | 23:22 |
| AlinMarincu | then suggests me to write lsb-relase | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: there is a space between release and the -s | 23:23 |
| AlinMarincu | yeah | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: or: cat /etc/lsb-release | 23:23 |
| * ActionParsnip stokes his beard in thought | 23:23 | |
| AlinMarincu | No such file or directory | 23:23 |
| AlinMarincu | ;s | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: then you aren't using Ubuntu, so it's not supported here | 23:24 |
| georgeph | that gl1.4 vertex and pixel shader versions just doesn't cut it for a lot lot lot of stuff | 23:24 |
| AlinMarincu | I'm usinb ubuntu 12.10 | 23:24 |
| AlinMarincu | can u suggest me a different version? | 23:25 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu was grabbing a beer. Right what do you see when you do this lspci -nn | grep Network | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: if you were using Ubuntu, both commands would output something | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: what is the output of: uname -a | 23:26 |
| georgeph | of course getting stereoscopic rendering and 3d vision working on a free platform would be nice | 23:26 |
| genii-around | AlinMarincu: or: cat /etc/issue | 23:26 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu ahh wait what kernel you using! | 23:26 |

| M13 | is ubuntu 12.10 better than 12.04? | 23:27 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu the drivers were included (at least for Debian) back with 2.6.32 | 23:27 |
| georgeph | Alin use a usb stick | 23:27 |
| blackshirt | m13, commonly yes | 23:27 |
| x__ | or pastebin if it has internet | 23:27 |
| M13 | is edubuntu ok too? | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | !edubuntu | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org | 23:28 |
| M13 | yes | 23:28 |
| blackshirt | m13, yes, especially for educational purpose | 23:28 |
| georgeph | and anyway einstein specs should blow a lot of this stuff away | 23:28 |
| georgeph | if nvidia delivers | 23:28 |
| M13 | My tech teacher gave me the DVD | 23:28 |

| ActionParsnip | M13: its light and fast | 23:29 |
| Ben64 | I usually suggest keeping with the LTS releases, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 etc | 23:29 |
| blackshirt | M13, you can switch your desktop env | 23:30 |
| M13 | ik | 23:30 |
| Ben64 | the releases in between are sometimes less stable and more experimental | 23:30 |
| M13 | can I make ubuntu 12.04 look like 10.10? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue please | 23:30 |
| Ben64 | M13: you can make it look like 10.04 | 23:30 |
| Ben64 | I'm guessing 10.10 is the same | 23:30 |
| M13 | how??? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | M13: sure, install gnome-panel and log out then log in to the new session | 23:31 |

| fluitfries | blackshirt, i am upgrading virtualbox but the 4.2 version warns that it breaks the 4.1 version. so i'm guessing i need to uninstall first? | 23:32 |
| CodeRat | AlinMarincu what do you see when you do this dmesg | grep rtl8187 | 23:32 |
| blackshirt | fluitfries, you can use apt-get to purge/remove/uninstall installed packages | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: did the bug log give you any clues? | 23:32 |
| AlinMarincu | CodeRat i see a new line | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MsiWind also has a guide for building the driver. Handy :) | 23:33 |
| CodeRat | Gonna pinch a MASSIVE loaf and hit that sack. gn | 23:33 |
| fluitfries | blackshirt, oh, i didn't realize apt worked with .deb packages | 23:33 |
| AlinMarincu | ActionParsnip: gonna have a look thanks | 23:34 |
| blackshirt | fluitfries, i don't mean with .deb packages .... | 23:34 |
| fluitfries | blackshirt, virtualbox comes via .deb packages from their website. | 23:34 |
| blackshirt | fluitfries, if your .deb packages has been installed, you can manage it with apt | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | AlinMarincu: if you are clever, you can make a DKMS config and the driver will upgrade when you get new kernels | 23:34 |
| fluitfries | blackshirt, the version in the repositories is not the same version, it has limitations | 23:34 |
| fluitfries | blackshirt, ok, i'll try to remove 4.1 with apt, thank you | 23:35 |
