[00:00] <jCuber> No shit
[00:00] <gordonjcp> LovesLinux: I mean, I'm a total Windows noob, I've only been using it a few months
[00:00] <gordonjcp> LovesLinux: I've been using Unix in general for quite a long time, since I was at university
[00:00] <digitalirony> I wished I knew more about windows :/
[00:01] <digitalirony> I hate not knowing something
[00:01] <k1l> moonvoniron: which ubuntu do you use?
[00:01] <LovesLinux> gordonjcp? Yeah I know Im the same but that only because we arent familiar. Not because we dont know the box. People who use Linux are more tuned with a computer. Personally I came from the hacker gen (19880)
[00:01] <k1l> !ops
[00:01] <disputin> the less I know about windows the brighter I feel.
[00:01] <noiro> anyone know how to get rid of gnome bottom of screen notifications?
[00:01] <digitalirony> not me
[00:01] <digitalirony> I want to know everything
[00:02] <LovesLinux> server admins have to work with the win$hit
[00:02] <k1l> LovesLinux: stop it!
[00:02] <digitalirony> WTF, I was only answering them....theya re talking offtopic. I even just told them to stop
[00:03] <noiro> everyone still alive or did I come at a bad time?
[00:03] <disputin> does anyone know how to keep 12.04 from resizing my desktop everytime I use my kvm?  It's infuriating that 10 minutes away and it's back to 1024x720 (or whatever it defaults to) instead of 1920x1080
[00:03] <IdleOne> digitalirony: enough. You are disrupting the channel with your off topic commentary
[00:05] <k1l> noiro: you are looking for smth like that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/110792/gnome-3-change-system-notification-to-be-as-unity
[00:06] <noiro> k1l: And how do I navigate to my shell extensions again to configure them?
[00:07] <crackerjackz> everytime i try to burn a data cd using brasero, after it's finished burning it tells me the cd could not be ejected that i must manually eject it... then right after it says the burn failed and no computer will read the CD
[00:07] <delinquentme> so I want to add a new source to /etc/apt/sources.list  ... from the command line ... I think I'd want to use echo and a pipe??  anyone have an example of how to do this?
[00:07] <crackerjackz> any ideas?
[00:08] <k1l> noiro: sry, i dont use gnome-shell. just fiddlet with it for testing purposes
[00:08] <chris_> Can i get help please? I can not connect to my home wifi network anymore. It was working but now i cant get online. I just had to switch wifi networks to get online. I can get an IP from my home network, but cant surf
[00:08] <chris_> i'm new to linux by the way
[00:08] <chris_> 20 min old to linux
[00:08] <crackerjackz> chris_: you'll catch on just fine.. some brilliant minds here
[00:09] <chris_> i can connect to my home wifi, but cant surf the internet. I am getting a ip address though
[00:09] <chris_> im right now on another internet wifi network
[00:09] <chris_> anyone? please.
[00:09] <moonvoniron> it doesn't dislock
[00:10] <chris_> what do you mean?
[00:10] <moonvoniron> i wasn't talkin' to tou :)
[00:10] <chris_> oh.
[00:11] <crackerjackz> chris_: go to a terminal and type ifconfig then http://pastebin.com me the output
[00:11] <chris_> ok
[00:11] <moonvoniron> looking for someone who can dislock my hardware drivers setting please.
[00:12] <moonvoniron> test..
[00:12] <crackerjackz> moonvoniron: we can see you.. it works
[00:12] <AndyFrench> no way to run sXe on ubuntu ?
[00:13] <jrib> delinquentme: why not use a text editor?
[00:13] <chris_> http://pastebin.com/LGsj21bx
[00:13] <chris_> this is the output of ifconfig
[00:13] <k1l> [MoOn__]: which ubuntu are you running?
[00:14] <Ben64> is there a way to add sensors temps to the gnome-panel
[00:14] <chris_> Ubuntu "newest one"
[00:14] <chris_> im VERY new to linux
[00:14] <chris_> like 30 min old
[00:14] <Ben64> chris_: what does "lsb_release -r" say
[00:15] <chris_> 12.10
[00:15] <Ben64> chris_: can you ping 4.2.2.2
[00:15] <[MoOn__]> 12.04 LTS <k1l>
[00:16] <chris_> yes
[00:16] <chris_> it's able to ping
[00:16] <Ben64> chris_: thats good, means you have internet
[00:16] <AndyFrench> LOL
[00:16]  * bluegrass moons andy
[00:16] <chris_> yea NOW because i'm on my cellphone internet, not my home internet
[00:16] <bluegrass> :B
[00:16] <Ben64> chris_: well then that doesn't help :|
[00:16] <chris_> no lol
[00:17] <crackerjackz> chris_: check your hosts file
[00:17] <Ben64> you need to hook to your home internet for this to work
[00:17] <chris_> how do i get to that
[00:17] <Ben64> its in /etc/hosts
[00:17] <crackerjackz> chris_: in that case...
[00:17] <k1l> [MoOn__]: isnt there a unlock button?
[00:17] <crackerjackz> chris_: try... to bypass the router and hardwire your computer directly to the modem
[00:17] <crackerjackz> see if you even have internet first... then hook your router back up
[00:18] <chris_> that will work. I tried that when trying mint and some other distro's for a few min over the weekend
[00:18] <chris_> it's ONLY wifi that gives me issues
[00:18] <MaGeD_> Hello , sorry for the noob question i have a vps with 10.04 ( rtorrent  , rutorrent ,deluge ,apache , VNC ) installed , if i upgraded to the latest version 12.04 using the update manager , will this effect any of my installed programs and it will still works the it's now
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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] <frankko> when i try to run ifup and dhclient it complains something about that it has been converted to a upstart job and i should run it some other way but not providing info on how to do so,
[00:23] <ryan_C> Me too i like ubuntu
[00:23] <[MoOn__]> too
[00:23] <disputin> frankko: could be restart networking
[00:23] <frankko> oh, i tried restar network... but i will try networking.
[00:24] <pepee> is  extras.ubuntu.com down?
[00:24] <disputin> frankko: look in /etc/init it will show you possible upstart jobs
[00:26] <k4m3h4t3> somebody can help me
[00:26] <kieppie> hi guys
[00:26] <kieppie> I'm installing from a live USB
[00:26] <pepee> oh, it's working now
[00:26] <k4m3h4t3> i have a problem http://pastebin.com/vAYrxp2t
[00:26] <pepee> k4m3h4t3, just ask
[00:26] <chris_> Ben
[00:27] <k4m3h4t3> pepee : http://pastebin.com/vAYrxp2t this my problem
[00:27] <kieppie> how can I mod the installer to inject my apt proxy value into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy prior to install?
[00:27] <chris_> Ben
[00:27] <chris_> http://pastebin.com/6Guickig
[00:27] <chris_> i have a 127.0.0.1
[00:27] <pepee> k4m3h4t3, apparently, it was down for a couple minutes, but it's working now
[00:27] <k4m3h4t3> pepee : mean , i try again?
[00:28] <pepee> k4m3h4t3, yes
[00:28] <simplew> launchpad is a liar
[00:28] <Ben64> chris_: what?
[00:28] <k4m3h4t3> pepee : ok. i will try
[00:29] <pepee> kieppie, edit that file? not sure
[00:29] <k4m3h4t3> pepee : it's solved. thanks
[00:29] <MaGeD_> pepee do u have a fix for this http://i.imgur.com/vepML.jpg
[00:29] <MaGeD_> it's grayed out ,,  10.04
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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>           inet addr:192.168.2.13  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
[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.
[00:31] <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 ?
[00:32] <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'
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <pepee> MaGeD_, ah, sorry, no idea. I guess be that some package is missing
[00:36] <frankko> also my xserver shuts down when i try to log in. But it runs kdm fine.
[00:36] <MaGeD_> pepee : thanks anyway :)
[00:37] <frankko> my xorg.log does not show any errors though
[00:37] <frankko> http://pastebin.com/QxyFP2DB
[00:37] <pepee> frankko, post ~/.xsession-errors too
[00:37] <frankko> aaaaw man another reboot....
[00:37] <pepee> frankko, and /var/log/syslog
[00:38] <frankko> what is the service name for networking?
[00:38] <pepee> "networking"
[00:38] <frankko> pepee: that service does not exist it claims
[00:38] <pepee> frankko, what do you need to do?
[00:39] <frankko> boot the computer.
[00:39] <frankko> all i can do it log into cli and i have no networking and xorg closes
[00:39] <frankko> but both worked yesterday
[00:39] <frankko> before i went to bed
[00:40] <pepee> frankko, are you using ubuntu or another distro?
[00:41] <chris_33> Ben
[00:41] <pepee> frankko, AFAIK networking should be there. ubuntu version?
[00:42] <chris_33> Ben here it is
[00:42] <chris_33> http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
[00:42] <Ben64> did you try pinging the router
[00:42] <chris_33> yes
[00:42] <chris_33> here is the responce
[00:42] <chris_33> http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
[00:42] <chris_33> i did route
[00:42] <FloodBot1> chris_33: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:43] <chris_33> http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
[00:43] <chris_33> oh sorry, didnt mean to double post
[00:43] <Ben64> yeah i saw that, you don't need to paste it 3 times
[00:43] <chris_33> your right, sorry was a mistake
[00:43] <pepee> chris_33, try pinging google
[00:43] <Ben64> or try pinging the router
[00:43] <chris_33> i tried pinging google. it just sat there and couldn't
[00:44] <pepee> chris_33, 8.8.8.8
[00:44] <pepee> or yeah, ping the router
[00:44] <chris_33> is "route" the same thing?
[00:44] <Ben64> no
[00:44] <dr_willis> ping 127.0.0.1   ;)  hmm.. could that ever fail?
[00:44] <Ben64> yes
[00:45] <pepee> chris_33, ping 192.168.2.1
[00:45] <chris_33> ok i'll try that
[00:45] <Ben64> you should come in here with another computer
[00:45] <frankko> pepee: it is ubuntu precise
[00:45] <chris_33> i'll brb. i'll log onto my home network again and try pinging the router.
[00:47] <frankko> pepee: i think iwill do a "dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/*" and see if that fixes it
[00:47] <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..
[00:48] <blackness> that is a horrible idea..
[00:48] <pepee> well, lets hope it goes well :P
[00:48] <pepee> for him
[00:48] <blackness> i hope he's never apt-get clean'd before :x
[00:48] <dr_willis> then he may have several versions of the same package
[00:48] <pepee> ^
[00:49] <dr_willis> I think its safe to say.. its NOT a good idea
[00:49] <dr_willis> ;)
[00:49] <chris_33> It seems like for some weird reason it just stated working again on it's own. Any reason why it would not work for an hour then suddenly work again?
[00:49] <chris_33> I didn't do anything
[00:50] <dr_willis> chris_33:  lunch break was over? ;P
[00:50] <chris_33> yea i guess so.
[00:50] <dr_willis> or somthing reset/rebooted..
[00:50] <chris_33> how do you type in red by the way?
[00:50] <dr_willis> dhcp lease reset?
[00:51]  * dr_willis dosent see anything in red
[00:51] <alof> anyone with experience writing daemons have a suggestion for a cookbook?
[00:51] <pepee> chris_33, like this?
[00:51] <chris_33> yea
[00:51] <chris_33> like that
[00:51] <MinnesotaBro> I have a massive problem
[00:51] <dr_willis> alof:  you mean like the 'upstart cookbook' web site that exists?
[00:51] <pepee> hah :P
[00:51] <MinnesotaBro> I can't even connect to the Internet
[00:51] <chris_33> pepee: test
[00:51] <pepee> chris_33, that way, yes
[00:51] <chris_33> hmm.. lol . what's the secret?
[00:51] <chris_33> ah. just came to me...
[00:52]  * dr_willis dosent tell chris_33  about the /me command
[00:52] <pepee> chris_33, it's just the client doing that
[00:52] <MinnesotaBro> "The system network services are not compatible with this version"
[00:52] <MinnesotaBro> Wtf?! I'm seriously freaking out right now
[00:52] <dr_willis> MinnesotaBro:  what ubuntu version, how are you connected to the net. and where do you see that message at.
[00:53] <pepee> yeah, we need some context
[00:53] <MinnesotaBro> I'm on mobile. I see it in the network window and Ubuntu 12.10 beta
[00:53] <chris_33> Wow i'm so confused how it just started working again. I installed linux "5 disto's" in the last few days. the internet starting working for the first hour then it stoped
[00:53] <chris_33> to fix it i had to reinstall linux
[00:53] <chris_33> what a head ach!!!
[00:53] <dr_willis> MinnesotaBro:  beta? 12.10 has been out now for  almost a month.
[00:53] <chris_33> now its working "for what? an hour again"?
[00:53] <MinnesotaBro> I know. I'm on 12.10
[00:53] <chris_33> i WISH i knew what the problem was and how to fix it.
[00:53] <pepee> chris_33, I guess the problem is your router, not the clients
[00:53] <alof> dr_willis, /me feels dumb
[00:53] <MinnesotaBro> It worked yesterday
[00:54] <chris_33> yea maybe
[00:54] <pepee> but who knows
[00:54] <MinnesotaBro> Wtf happened. I don't have an install disk
[00:54] <chris_33> well. when i do hard wire it works 100 percent
[00:54] <dr_willis> ive had routers die on me.. seems they make them cheap these days.
[00:54] <MinnesotaBro> Just *explodes*
[00:54] <chris_33> NEVER a problem when hard wired in
[00:54] <chris_33> ONLY wifi
[00:54] <alof> lol
[00:54] <chris_33> no, i have like 3 computers on my wifi all the time
[00:54] <dr_willis> MinnesotaBro:  on mobile meaning what exactly?  a 3g USB dongle?
[00:55] <MinnesotaBro> No. I'm typing this on my iPhone
[00:55] <MinnesotaBro> I can't get my computer to connect to the Internet at all
[00:55] <AndyBotwin> why multi-monitor on ubuntu doesnt run like windows multi-monitor? so frustrating when you change the desktop and the movie on the other screen just disappear
[00:55] <dr_willis> so... how is the PC connected to the internet.....
[00:55] <MinnesotaBro> It isn't
[00:55] <MinnesotaBro> My phone is. My computer isn't
[00:55] <dr_willis> AndyBotwin:  you can pin the player to the desktop and it will stay 'sticky'
[00:56] <AndyBotwin> lol
[00:56] <dr_willis> AndyBotwin:  and be shown on every desktop
[00:56] <AndyBotwin> how? im such a 00b
[00:56] <chris_33> how do i release and renew my ip?
[00:56] <dr_willis> right click on the title bar i belive. on all desktops, or somthing like that
[00:56] <MinnesotaBro> Seriously. Wtf am I supposed to do (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
[00:56] <dr_willis> old term for it was 'sticky'
[00:57] <AndyBotwin> thanks dr_willis
[00:57] <AndyBotwin> really thanks.
[00:57] <dr_willis> MinnesotaBro:  give us more details.
[00:57] <MinnesotaBro> What more details?!
[00:57] <chris_33> what's the command to release and renew my ip?
[00:57] <dr_willis> MinnesotaBro:  is your pc on a router? wired? wireless? ... you never have stated any real facts
[00:57] <chris_33> refresh i guess my stuff
[00:58] <_0x783czar> I'm trying to set up my sudoers file to allow password-less sudo usage for all members of the admin group.  I've added the line:
[00:58] <MinnesotaBro> Wireless I'm at university
[00:58] <_0x783czar> '%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL'
[00:58] <_0x783czar> but still no luck
[00:58] <Derp> ola galera
[00:58] <pepee> _0x783czar, why would you do that? ;_;
[00:58] <Derp> tudo bacana com vcs
[00:58] <pepee> Derp, brazilian?
[00:58] <_0x783czar> pepee: setting up a Vagrant image, it's requried
[00:59] <Derp> elguem que fala portuges ?
[00:59] <chris_33> dr_willis: how do you release  and renew the ip like on windows?
[00:59] <Derp> algum brasileiro ?
[00:59] <pepee> !br | Derp
[00:59] <dr_willis> chris_33:  i cant recall needing to in ages.. but i think theres a 'dhcpclient' command/option
[00:59] <dr_willis> chris_33:  or perhaps stop/restart the networking services
[01:00] <chris_33> dr_willis: thank you
[01:00] <zykotick9> chris_33: fyi, it's "sudo dhclient DEV"
[01:01] <chris_33> zykotick9: thank you
[01:01] <frankko> Ok now i have gotten networking to work.
[01:01] <chris_33> sudo dhclient DEV
[01:02] <frankko> now i have to figure out why xorg fails
[01:02] <zykotick9> chris_33: replace DEV with eth0 wlan0 etc.
[01:02] <pepee> frankko, $ dpkg -S /etc/init.d/networking      ifupdown: /etc/init.d/networking
[01:03] <pepee> frankko, no need to install everything in /var/cache/apt/archive/  ...
[01:03] <chris_33> zykotick9: ok
[01:04] <frankko> pepee: i have allready done so.
[01:04] <frankko> where was the xsession log located?
[01:04] <pepee> frankko, yeah, I guess. just saying
[01:05] <pepee> frankko, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsession-errors
[01:05] <_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] <zykotick9> frankko: do you mean xorg logs?
[01:06] <blackshirt> have you logout to takes effect
[01:06] <_0x783czar> blackshirt: done it, and it still doesn't work.
[01:06] <_0x783czar> blackshirt: even rebooted
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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.
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <_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?
[01:12] <_0x783czar> jrib: http://pastebin.com/PxFRWi08
[01:12] <Araa|AFK> Could I please get some help about installing Ubuntu trhough a pendrive?
[01:12] <Araa|AFK> I already made it bootable
[01:12] <jrib> _0x783czar: is your user also in the sudo group?
[01:12] <zykotick9> chris__333: sorry, i really don't have any suggestions for you.  best of luck!
[01:13] <_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
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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.
[01:17] <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?
[01:18] <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.
[01:19] <bwayne> i think unetbootin works well.
[01:19] <zykotick9> LogicandReason: no.  unetbootin is one option on MS for creating bootable USBs for installation.
[01:20] <frankko> pepee: ok now dpkg-reconfigure -a is done
[01:20] <pepee> frankko, reboot?
[01:21] <b0w> hello! i got a problem with my touchpad, it is recognized but isnt working, ubuntu 12.10
[01:21] <brandon420> SOMEONE CAN HELP ME GET MY AUDIO PREFERENCES BACK?! DEY WENT AWAY WHEN I SET IT TO HDMI AUDIO AND NOW I CANT GET IT TO CHANGE BACK
[01:21] <jrib> brandon420: no need for caps
[01:21] <pepee> frankko, also, run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:22] <brandon420> JRIB I DONT KNOW WHERE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS ON DIS COMPUTER
[01:22] <brandon420> EVERYTHING IS ALL MESSED UP
[01:22] <pepee> brandon420, press shift while typing
[01:22] <jrib> brandon420: you were able to type fine a couple of minutes ago.
[01:23] <brandon420> lfmao
[01:23] <brandon420> i just need someone to help me. Me and google gave up yesterday.
[01:24] <jrib> brandon420: ok well, just ask your question and be patient.  If someone thinks they can help, they will respond.  If we don't know how to help, then we can't
[01:24] <xyzone> brandon420, install indic keyboard and press caps lock
[01:25] <xyzone> or just get a new keyboard
[01:25] <brandon420> xyzone, i was just playing, my caps lock works.
[01:25] <brandon420> Thanks for the help though
[01:25] <b0w> hello! i got a problem with my touchpad, it is recognized but isnt working, ubuntu 12.10
[01:26] <brandon420> I need someone to help me get my audio devices to show up in the volume preferences panel.
[01:26] <kate_r> hi
[01:26] <kate_r> i've just installed windows after ubuntu, does anyone know how i can get grub back?
[01:26] <brandon420> Hello kate_r
[01:27] <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] <kate_r> hmm
[01:27] <bwayne> kate_r: there's also the option of installing EasyBCD within windows.
[01:28] <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?
[01:29] <zykotick9> !fsck | prplzh
[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
[01:30] <frankko> pepee: now i have started in kde failsafe mode. And i get konsole.
[01:30] <frankko> i think i might have to reinstall the entire machine... this is just too buggy
[01:30] <xyzone> kate_r, grub2
[01:31] <kate_r> yeah
[01:31] <xyzone> look at the grub2 install instructions kate_r
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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 ?
[01:35] <xyzone> kate_r, yeah
[01:35] <OerHeks> kate_r, see the link from ubottu (official docu)
[01:35] <kate_r> OerHeks, you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ?
[01:35] <kate_r> oh, ubottu
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <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.
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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.
[01:41] <jrib> blackness: so what key are you pressing?
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <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?
[01:46] <yahusha_> everytime i try installing pclinuxos from usb it fails to read the iso
[01:47] <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] <acolytetojippity> cool!
[01:48] <maxb> yahusha_: This is the Ubuntu help channel. If you want help with a non-Ubuntu Linux distro, perhaps you should be asking elsewhere.
[01:48] <blackness> jrib, the volume up key
[01:49] <jrib> blackness: are you sure that's recognized as XF86AuidoRaiseVolume?
[01:49] <Strategos> Heya hiya.
[01:50] <blackness> i used vex to capture the key..but it looked funny..pnmixer keybindings can control volume up/down and it uses those
[01:50] <jrib> blackness: "but it looked funny"?
[01:50] <Strategos> Are there any XChat users who happen to know why the nick list has disappeared from my channel windows?
[01:50] <blackness> lemme capture again
[01:51] <xangua> Strategos: if it wasn't there from the start sounds like ypu are using xchat-gnome, tried hit f9 ¿
[01:52] <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).
[01:53] <blackness> done..recapture?
[01:53] <Strategos> Blackness: I deleted a list of channel nicks?  Those are generally updated on the fly.
[01:53] <blackness> the window of the list.
[01:54] <Chain> This being the official support channel.. I assume indept and detailed questions are generally accepted?
[01:54] <Strategos> Chain: Yeah, we're all learning here. :)
[01:54] <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] <maxb> Those are the best kinds of question. Just don't over-use newlines.
[01:55] <shakaponk> wyclif:  u still here? where can i get the right iso?
[01:55] <shakaponk> checksum is not the same
[01:55] <blackness> could it be that im using a sound applet aswell as xbindkeys ?
[01:55] <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.
[01:56] <jrib> Chain: what did you want if it wasn't edubuntu?
[01:56] <blackness> i was using a semi colon as a divider
[01:57] <blackness> its working ;) thanks jrib
[01:57] <Chain> I was trying to install just ubuntu.
[01:57] <jrib> blackness: no problem
[01:57] <jrib> Chain: I'd probably just reinstall then with the iso I wanted
[01:58] <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
[01:59] <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.
[02:00] <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?"
[02:02] <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?
[02:03] <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
[02:04] <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] <dontknow> i think ubuntu is not suitable for matrix hacking. it wouldn't be cool to hack matrix with adware
[02:04] <unrar> hi
[02:05] <JonathanDawdy> Hey my harddrive is beeping randomly and my disk utilitys says i have an unallocated partition that is 18 million terabytse
[02:05] <PoolShark_> tht's not a good sign
[02:06] <JonathanDawdy> Any ideas
[02:06] <JonathanDawdy> opps brb
[02:07] <jrib> Chain: your other option is to just delete the partitions eduubuntu is using and then have the installer use the free space
[02:08] <jrib> Chain: (I don't think this is much easier)
[02:08] <jrib> PoolShark_: nah, tons of storage space now
[02:08] <PoolShark_> yeah I'll say. 18 Million Terabytes is huge
[02:08] <chroot> hi, did rss feeds update constantly?
[02:08] <ctdennis1985> Hey everyone....
[02:09] <chroot> like bbc's rss feed
[02:09] <Chain> jrib: You're probably right.. um.. more information I thought I should include and might be important; for installation I went on the ubuntu website and just downloaded "Ubuntu Desktop Windows Installer" 12.10.  Is that what I should be doing?
[02:10] <jrib> Chain: I'm not familiar with that.  I would just burn a disc and then boot from that
[02:10] <jrib> Chain: actually, maybe you used wubi?
[02:10] <JonathanDawdy> hey PoolShark_  can i pm you
[02:10] <ctdennis1985> i'm a total newb to ubuntu and linux entirely and I've been having an issue trying to mount a network hard drive..... the problem is I can't do a direct save to it... so when i download something i can't choose the network drive as a storage location to download right onto
[02:11] <Chain> jrib: I have no idea what wubi is.. I feel like this lack of knowledge is where my problem is coming from.
[02:11] <jrib> Chain: yeah the "windows installer" seems to be wubi.  Wubi will just create a file on your windows partition instead of creating a separate partition for ubuntu.  Here's the uninstall procedure: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation
[02:11] <JonathanDawdy> hey PoolShark_  can i pm you
[02:11] <ctdennis1985> it will show up as "mounted" in the home folder... but not through any save as menu with an application ... the only application that shows it is LIbreoffice ...
[02:12] <ctdennis1985> can anybody help
[02:12] <JonathanDawdy> ctdennis1985,  pm me
[02:12] <jrib> Chain: going to bed now; others here can help if you have more questions
[02:12] <Chain> jrib: Thanks for the help.  Now that I sortof understand what I should be doing, I'm gonna go give this a try.  Much appreciated!
[02:12] <awr> @JonathanDawdy try a SMART utilility to see if the drive is failing first, if yes backup what you can
[02:13] <kj4> |join #poopchat
[02:13] <JonathanDawdy> awr i did if you pm me i really would like to send you the pictures so you understand fully
[02:13] <JonathanDawdy> please
[02:14] <xangua> !pm | JonathanDawdy
[02:15] <awr> pictures in PM, that sounds suspicious, try posting the SMART values that are failing
[02:15] <JonathanDawdy> fine... I used disk utilitys and its says its just fine "completly healthy" nothing to my knowlage is broken except the hard drive beeping and the 18mil terabytpe partition being there
[02:16] <yeehi> Does 12.10 still run slowly in VirtualBox or has that been fixed now?
[02:16] <shyrain> first
[02:17] <shyrain> hello
[02:18] <JonathanDawdy> Hello anyone listening
[02:18] <shyrain> yeah
[02:19] <Ben64> !ask | JonathanDawdy
[02:19] <JonathanDawdy> i did and no one answered me
[02:20] <shyrain> how to entry to others hardware?
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <bazhang> JonathanDawdy, what is the hdd total size
[02:23] <Ben64> JonathanDawdy: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[02:24] <bazhang> !paste | JonathanDawdy
[02:24] <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
[02:25] <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.
[02:26] <PoolShark_> i.e. /dev/sd{a-z}, then what?
[02:26] <Ben64> PoolShark_: sdaa
[02:26] <PoolShark_> ahh
[02:27] <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?
[02:28] <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
[02:29] <awr> the huge partition is a partition table problem I am pretty sure, a good partition manager should offer an automatic fix

[03:41] <JonathanDawdy> awr,  i mean sometimes i cant say when my harddrive makes a ton of beeps like 5 to 10 and i can only hear it if i put my ear to the vent on my laptop

[03:42] <zombieman> wait
[03:43] <DrManhattan> I need a little help getting wake-on-lan working on my dell inspiron
[03:43] <DrManhattan> please
[03:43] <ping__> Black_Daemon, $ pulseaudio --start
[03:43] <JonathanDawdy> b0w,  hows that snapshot comeing
[03:43] <DrManhattan> I tried sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g
[03:43] <ju4nk42012> rumpe1,  and as i do that shutdown -r now?
[03:43] <DrManhattan> but no luck
[03:43] <Black_Daemon> ok
[03:44] <Black_Daemon> should I try $ pacmd ?
[03:44] <Black_Daemon> err, no question mark
[03:44] <sianhulo> derheks, then i think i got a problem... if i cannot boot from a pendrive i think that a sd card must be worse
[03:44] <rumpe1> ju4nk42012, e.g.
[03:45] <yo> i have some problems with  wifi drivers  in bb03.is a geetek wifi antena.i can connect to internet but i cant use the wifi things.bb-03 10.10 maverick.
[03:45] <zombieman> Rigwyn, it echos a blank line
[03:45] <zombieman> what do I do?
[03:46] <holstein> zombieman: i usually try locally..
[03:46] <zombieman> what do you mean holstein?
[03:46] <holstein> though, i have had some issues with my normal vino/vinagre or remmina setups recently.. i assumed it was my bad
[03:47] <holstein> zombieman: i mean.. locally.. run the server and a client to test on the same box
[03:47] <zombieman> it's a remote server
[03:47] <zombieman> two time zomes away
[03:47] <yo> i have some problems with  wifi drivers  in bb03.is a geetek wifi antena.i can connect to internet but i cant use the wifi things.bb-03 10.10 maverick. any help please?
[03:47] <zombieman> I don't have money for an airplane ticket to Oklahoma
[03:47] <Rigwyn> zombieman, I don't know if the absence of that variable is your problem or not. Likewise, its kind of odd that its not set.
[03:48] <zombieman> How do I log into Gnome?
[03:48] <holstein> zombieman: all im suggesting is, there are more variables that "vncserver isnt working"
[03:48] <Rigwyn> you can set it manually like this for now:   export HOME=/home/zombieman
[03:49] <zombieman> ]But how do I log in to XUBUNTU from SSH?
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <zombieman> gnome-session
[03:55] <zombieman> thanks anyway guys
[03:56] <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
[03:58] <JonathanDawdy> ya but all of them say "_beeps and computer wont start"... but my computer works just fine
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <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/
[04:07] <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/
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <DrManhattan> bbiab
[04:09] <Black_Daemon> ping__ it says loginctl: command not found
[04:09] <simplew> how can i increase my notebook temperature?
[04:10] <weiyang> simplew,  build several kernel at the same time?
[04:10] <JonathanDawdy> hey anyone know a program i can install on ubuntu to make it so i can play sound files on my microphone
[04:11] <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?
[04:12] <demonboy> anyone?
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <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] <holstein> demonboy: what device?
[04:15] <litropy> JonathanDawdy, try jackaudio
[04:15] <ping__> wait
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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?
[04:18] <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] <demonboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357200/
[04:18] <yeehi> 12.10 ran slowly in virtualbox - has this issue been fixed yet? is there a workaround?
[04:18] <Gerowen> drakon1: np
[04:19] <JonathanDawdy> tnx
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <demonboy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357204/
[04:20] <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
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <Gerowen> drakon1: Oh and stick sudo in front of the mount command, you gotta be root to mount stuff.
[04:23] <sasori> hey guys.  has anyone solved the galaxy s3 mounting problem?  just wondering as google still tells me no....  which sucks.  lol.
[04:24] <ju4nk42012> Hello friends not working FN keys in ubuntu 12.04 and i can't activate my wifi any help please
[04:26] <holstein> demonboy: i have a 4313
[04:26] <CptIgnorant> Hey, I fried my mother board yesterday. I can still access my HDD. I'm in the proce of moving files. So far I've got /home/my_user and /var. Is there any other directories that store user settings that I should be concerned about? Thanks
[04:27] <drakon1> Gerowen: i did it, i have the new directory but again it appears empty
[04:27] <demonboy> 4313 what?
[04:27] <sasori> WHO *.co.jp
[04:27] <sasori> oops
[04:27] <holstein> demonboy: you seem to have the a bcm4303.. i have a 4313
[04:27] <Gerowen> drakon1: Was the DVD an encrypted DVD, like one you bought from Wal-Mart?  If so, do you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[04:28] <drakon1> Gerowen: i dont know, i downloaded it
[04:28] <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.
[04:29] <holstein> demonboy: i just havent needed to get that "dirty" with a bcm chip in 10.04, or beyond.. whats the issue?
[04:29] <CptIgnorant> I also have a LAMP stack but I've forgotten where all the onfiguration setting go *sigh*
[04:29] <drakon1> Gerowen: ok, thanks a lot for your help
[04:29] <drakon1> :-)
[04:29] <Gerowen> drakon1: Np
[04:29] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04, and the maximum resolution i can get for my 30' Dell monitor (connected via hdmi) is 1280x800.  does anyone know how i might be able to increase this
[04:29] <holstein> boxbeatsy: i would try a different driver
[04:29] <demonboy> i cant enable wireless internet i have to be hardwired in
[04:30] <holstein> demonboy: have you tried the proprietary drivers?
[04:30] <ju4nk42012> i'm problem with FN keys in ubuntu 13.04
[04:30] <ju4nk42012> 12.04
[04:30] <demonboy> it doesnt have one that i know of... my nvidia card uses them but i havent found one for this card
[04:31] <holstein> demonboy: i would refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[04:32] <boxbeatsy> holstein: hi, thanks for the answer.  i'm actually realy new to linux.  do you know how or where i can find the appropriate display driver for my hardware?
[04:32] <holstein> boxbeatsy: depends on the hardware.. you can start
[04:32] <demonboy> box i believe it was directed to me

[04:34] <DrManhattan> Has anyone figured out how to get WOL working on a realtek 8101?
[04:35] <holstein> DrManhattan: from what i have found, its more hardware based...
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <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] <Lesterwood> sorry ill do this though
[04:38] <DrManhattan> kvothetech, right.
[04:38] <DrManhattan> like magic.
[04:39] <almoxarife> CptIgnorant: sniff out /etc/apt/ dir

[04:40] <ju4nk42012> hi people
[04:40] <ju4nk42012> I need help me please
[04:41] <almoxarife> !ask
[04:41] <CptIgnorant> almoxarife: very helpful thank you!
[04:41] <almoxarife> CptIgnorant: welcome
[04:41] <demonboy> holstein... i installed the STA version and it still wont work it sees the card but still says disabled
[04:42] <ju4nk42012> I have problem with FN Keys in ubuntu 12.04 and i can't activate my wifi
[04:43] <pigeonor> @ju4nk was wifi working before in ubuntu?
[04:44] <pigeonor> or is it a fresh install?
[04:44] <holstein> demonboy: did you try "enabling" it?
[04:44] <holstein> ju4nk42012: i would run lspci.. if you see the card listed there, then i would just try installing a driver is there is one
[04:45] <holstein> ju4nk42012: i have seen a few that the hardware lights dont come on til the driver is there.. i would refer to
[04:45] <holstein> !broadcom | ju4nk42012
[04:45] <pigeonor> @ju4nk, i usually just connect it to the wired lan, download all drivers, then it usually works after that for me
[04:46] <holstein> yeah... i was assuming you were wired up as well ju4nk42012
[04:46] <Shiz>  /close
[04:47] <cloudgeek> ubuntu 12.04 , ssh localhost
[04:47] <cloudgeek> ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
[04:47] <cloudgeek> why not it is connecting to ssh
[04:48] <almoxarife> cloudgeek: you are not running sshd on the local?
[04:48] <ju4nk42012> holstein, ubottu  thanks for the reply... run lspci and i have  an atheros AR9285
[04:49] <cloudgeek> almoxarife: i created a new user , from there i want to make a ssh connection ,ok should i need to keep running ssh on my root
[04:49] <almoxarife> cloudgeek: is a ssh server installed and running? would see 'sshd' in running processes owned by root
[04:50] <holstein> ju4nk42012: then the broadcom link is not good for you... i would try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998100
[04:50] <almoxarife> ju4nk42012: just a stab i the dark, insure you have installed package 'linux-headers-generic' , i am assuming you have the 'generic' kernel
[04:51] <holstein> cloudgeek: you'll need to install an ssh server.. sudo apt-get openssh-server for example.. then you can ssh in on localhost to test
[04:57] <ju4nk42012> almoxarife,  holstein I typing ifconfig wlan0 up and i get  Operation imposible to be disabled radiofrequency
[04:59] <cloudgeek> holstein: almoxarife okay now it is connecting
[05:01] <cloudgeek> how to install JVM: Sun JDK – 1.6.0_26, or latest one
[05:01] <cloudgeek> 12.04
[05:01] <cloudgeek> ubottu: install JVM
[05:04] <almoxarife> cloudgeek: cool, now install 'putty' to take the hassel out of multiple ssh entries
[05:04] <DrManhattan> that is quite weak and lame. neither the 32 or 64 bit allows me to use WOL. This is one of the reasons I left fedora. I hope ubuntu gets this fixed eventually.
[05:05] <cloudgeek> almoxarife: okay i do the same, can help in installing sun jvm
[05:05] <almoxarife> wol?
[05:05] <cloudgeek> .o ud wol
[05:06] <almoxarife> sun java install requires a ppa dont it cloudgeek?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> DrManhattan: What are you doing to try to enable Wake On LAN and what error messages (if any) are you getting?
[05:08] <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.
[05:09] <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] <LifeIsGood169> I'd like to setup a shared volume group with lvm2. But I'm having trouble resizing it the the entire size.
[05:09] <almoxarife> my lappy has a bios opt in for WOL, does yours DrManhattan?
[05:10] <DrManhattan> almoxarife, it does and it is enabled.
[05:10] <demonboy> after installing the drivers i no longer have the option in the driver section to use the legacy drivers
[05:10] <Black_Daemon> ping__!
[05:10] <ju4nk42012> holstein,
[05:10] <Black_Daemon> I fixed it!!!
[05:10] <Jordan_U> DrManhattan: And if you enable WOL from within windows, then shut down / suspend and send a magic packet the machine wakes up?
[05:10] <Black_Daemon> this helped: http://askubuntu.com/questions/101088/no-sound-in-inbuilt-speakers
[05:11] <DrManhattan> Jordan_U, that is correct.
[05:11] <Black_Daemon> what happened is that the profile was going to HDMI, not analog stereo duplex
[05:11] <Black_Daemon> and so I changed it and it's working now
[05:11] <ju4nk42012> holstein,  type  network DESACTIVADO and showed network DESACTIVADO
[05:11] <almoxarife> Black_Daemon: welcome to hdmi sound
[05:12] <Black_Daemon> what exactly is hdmi sound?
[05:12] <ju4nk42012> holstein, type sudo lshw -C network and showed network DISABLED
[05:12] <SamIAm> I disconnected and removed Ubuntu One from my computer, but I still get notifications that messages are syncing, and my icons still display check marks, etc.
[05:12] <ping__> Black_Daemon, awesome
[05:13] <almoxarife> Black_Daemon: lets assume you have a hdmi connection avail, you opt for hdmi sound and while connected you will have sound go to the hdmi connection
[05:13] <Black_Daemon> thanks again for the help!!! and boy am I glad I can listen to music again :)
[05:13] <Black_Daemon> oh of course
[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.
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <Black_Daemon> anyway I have to go, so thanks again for the help folks!
[05:15] <almoxarife> Black_Daemon: if you have a good hdmi'ed sound system then its great
[05:15] <LifeIsGood169> This is my output code from pv / lv / vg display. I'm still trying to get one volume group of 400 GB or larger & have it striped across the 3 hdd's.
[05:15] <LifeIsGood169> ops, forgot the paste: http://paste.kde.org/606296/
[05:15] <demonboy> junk i have the same issue
[05:16] <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.
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <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 ?
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <almoxarife> blackshirt: to the world nat looks like the host squacking
[05:20] <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?
[05:21] <blackshirt> almoxarife, i have setup private dns server in guest
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <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 :)
[05:26] <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'
[05:27] <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
[05:31] <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?
[05:32] <blackshirt> almoxarife, local mean for dns installed on this guest
[05:32] <almoxarife> blackshirt: what Jordan_U said
[05:33] <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?
[05:34] <harovali> in unity ubuntu 12.04
[05:34] <almoxarife> harovali: told him/her not to do that yet?
[05:35] <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¿
[05:36] <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
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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.
[05:42] <almoxarife> oh dear
[05:43] <cloudgeek> now what else can i do
[05:45] <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
[05:47] <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
[05:54] <rectec> Does anyone know what command is used to preview notify-osd
[05:55] <rectec> ?
[05:56] <LifeIsGood169> How do I boot from a live CD with no monitor and only ssh access?
[05:56] <LifeIsGood169> I need to resize a logical volume for the 'root'
[05:57] <LifeIsGood169> The computer is in my basement, can I assume putty will be able to ssh into the livecd?
[05:58] <nirvana> otter
[05:58] <LifeIsGood169> Guess no one knows my question xD
[06:00] <tsimpson> LifeIsGood169: the live CD doesn't come with a ssh server, so you can't
[06:01] <LifeIsGood169> tsimpson: is there a way to unmount /dev/vg0/root so I can resize it and reduce it?
[06:02] <almoxarife> rectec: http://linuxlibrary.org/notifyosd-desktop-notifications/ <-- check that out
[06:02] <LifeIsGood169> tsimpson: guess I'll have to get a spare monitor and haul it down to the basement. xD  thanks for helping. :)
[06:04] <rectec> almoxarife, nvm. I was editing a bug report on notify-osd and I wanted people to preview notify-osd to see the bubble's background color. Don't want everyone to have to install 3rd party software. Thanks anyway.
[06:04] <almoxarife> tsimpson: thats something to fix then
[06:05] <somsip> rectec: here's a cut n paste that should help code.
[06:05] <somsip> rectec: code.
[06:05] <somsip> rectec: doh
[06:06] <somsip> rectec: notify-send -i "$icon" -t 5000 --app-name "${appname}" "$from" "$subject"
[06:07] <rectec> somsip, Code doesn't work? Sorry I'm a little busy
[06:07] <lkthomas> hey guys, is there have any simple code to do ethernet QOS ?
[06:08] <somsip> rectec: you will have to swap out the bash variables...
[06:08] <rectec> somsip, yeah I figured. I'll get to it in just a sec. Thanks.
[06:08] <almoxarife> somsip: hes busy, :)
[06:09] <rectec> almoxarife, lol, trying to get a workaround for this bug
[06:09] <almoxarife> rectec: i am busy  too :)
[06:09] <rectec> almoxarife, yay!
[06:10] <somsip> rectec: coincidence then, 'cos I'm busy too!

[06:14] <somsip> !lts | almoxarife
[06:14] <somsip> almoxarife: thought it was one there. Nah - 10.04 was IIRC
[06:15] <almoxarife> somsip: great, but is 11.10 lts? wait, i shall get busy loking it up myself
[06:16] <nforzar1> u all WOULD get a good attitude on all of us (called Nooooobs...)
[06:16] <somsip> almoxarife: no - 10.04 then 12.04
[06:16] <almoxarife> nforzar1: believe me, we are all noobs, there is always someone better at it
[06:17] <GodfatherofEir1> Hey, quick question, how do I specify a default route in the nm applet?
[06:17] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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.
[06:21] <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
[06:23] <almoxarife> GodfatherofEir1: default route to what/were?
[06:23] <GodfatherofEir1> almoxarife, anything not already specified by a given route (e.g. outside my network)
[06:24] <demonboy> can any1 help me with an issue w/ my wireless card i have been at it for a while now reinstalled ubuntu several times w/ new and old versions w/ the same result
[06:24] <almoxarife> GodfatherofEir1: are you setting up the black hole thing?
[06:25] <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
[06:26] <demonboy> ill try tht i havent gotten that yet
[06:26] <ShapeShifter499> Can someone suggest a tablet or phone that comes with or can have ubuntu installed on it?
[06:26] <demonboy> they are installed it shows 0 for installed, upgraded etc
[06:27] <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] <almoxarife> demonboy: ok, so much for the simple solution
[06:27] <GodfatherofEir1> sed s/"wlan0"/"eth0"/ lol
[06:28] <demonboy> its not a simple solutioni have tried simple.... and its blocked by rfkill with a hard block yet this is a desktop and the pci card has no jumpers nor switches
[06:30] <almoxarife> GodfatherofEir1: is that what a router does via special routes?
[06:31] <almoxarife> demonboy: whats the output for your wireless card, read from lspci i hope
[06:32] <GodfatherofEir1> The default route is a special route yes. Specified by 0.0.0.0/0 iirc.

[06:35] <FredM> Hello Ubuntu, I am working with many Gvim win dows, is it possible when I click on the gvim  icone of the unity bar, to have a vertical list with file name,  and not the resizing of every gvim windows on the desktop ?
[06:35] <demonboy> i purged the system of it then installed the propriatery drivers and still nothing
[06:36] <almoxarife> demonboy: not knowing what it does here, did it do what ever it was suppose to?
[06:36] <demonboy> the system acknowledges the card is there
[06:36] <demonboy> i cant get the wireless to enable because of a hard block
[06:36] <demonboy> and idk whats causing this hard block
[06:37] <almoxarife> demonboy: the card yes, that package i believe is related to drivers
[06:37] <SouravAJ> hello
[06:37] <SouravAJ> help i want to change text color of non-desktop user in ubuntu
[06:37] <somsip> FredM: would using tabs in gvim help?
[06:38] <demonboy> w/o the b43 legacy driver and cutter airmon-ng doesnt see the card and i only use airmon because i am commig to ubuntu from backtrack
[06:40] <FredM> somsip: would using tabs in gvim help? -> no, I open several gvim , tabs is not useful  when I have 30 gvim opened
[06:44] <almoxarife> demonboy: is b43 blacklisted on your setup?
[06:44] <demonboy> idk what tht means
[06:46] <almoxarife> demonboy: in terminal , 'locate blacklisted' , looking for a conf in /etc
[06:46] <demonboy> didnt show anything
[06:46] <almoxarife> demonboy: in terminal , 'locate blacklist' , looking for a conf in /etc
[06:51] <demonboy> oh yea im on 10.04 cause i cant stand 12.10
[06:51] <almoxarife> demonboy: alrighty
[06:52] <almoxarife> does 10.04 already include 'jockey'?
[06:53] <almoxarife> demonboy: so you found the file?
[06:53] <demonboy> oh and the wireless card is a pci linksys wmp11  and no when i type tht command nothing happens
[06:53] <demonboy> versin 2.7
[06:53] <demonboy> version*
[06:56] <almoxarife> demonboy: the wifi card in the pastebin was Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) , it regenerated?
[06:56] <almoxarife> demonboy: good luck
[06:57] <demonboy> whats regenerated and ik what that says but the card itself is a linksys wmp11 pci card

[07:10] <Vypper345> Ping timeout?
[07:13] <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?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> hateball: If the umount fails the first time, why do you expect it to succeed the second time?
[07:19] <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?
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <Jordan_U> hateball: Does umount exit with an exit code of 0?
[07:23] <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).

[07:34] <_mak> Hi there
[07:35] <_mak> My lubuntu is installed in a usb stick, how can I access this installation from another ubuntu machine?
[07:35] <blackshirt> just mount it
[07:36] <_mak> I did it, but I want to 'be' in the env
[07:36] <_mak> I've tried with chroot but don't seems to work well
[07:36] <_mak> I mean, there is a way to 'boot' into that installation?
[07:38] <killer> i did sudo ufw default deny ,...........then why i m still able to access......internet and irc chat?
[07:39] <seeqwell> _mak you are you talking about installing the grub to the usb stick and booting from that?
[07:40] <seeqwell> sudo install-grub /dev/usbstick _mak
[07:40] <_mak> seemawn, no, it already has grub installed, I can use it normally if I boot on it, I just want to know how to use it from another install, I want to plug the usb and from my current install, open a shell from the usb install
[07:41] <_mak> with all the environments vars loaded, the home folder decrypted, etc
[07:41] <_mak> just as if it was a normal boot...
[07:41] <_mak> maybe I need to boot on it with a virtual machine?
[07:42] <seeqwell> that sound good _mak the virtual machine, other than that, I can't see it.  Your grub will only boot one device at a time
[07:42] <Areks> hello all, can somebody answer how many files can stored in on directory in ext3?
[07:42] <_mak> seemawn, I thought that maybe there was a way to chroot on it...
[07:42] <seeqwell> _mak you can go into /media/usbstick and bring up a terminal from there but other than that I can't see it.
[07:42] <_mak> but chroot don't seems to work as I need
[07:43] <seeqwell> dunno _mak
[07:43] <_mak> seemawn, thanks anyway
[07:44] <seeqwell> Areks, how ever many your hard drive will hold.  Ext3 is a type of hd format correct?
[07:45] <Areks> seeqwell: ext3 - FS.
[07:46] <bulletrulz> NIGHT
[07:46] <seeqwell> Archtivity, df -H shows you the size of your hard drive.  You can fit up that that much oh never mind
[07:48] <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?
[07:49] <Areks> seeqwell: you mean I haven't any limit of file count?
[07:50] <Areks> so i can store for example a few billion file in one catalog?
[07:50] <Areks> *files
[07:51] <boxbeatsy> anyone? :\
[07:53] <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?
[07:54] <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"
[07:55] <Areks> llutz_: inodes = max count?
[07:55] <llutz_> Areks: kinda, yes
[07:56] <hateball> If you need to store that many files then moving to ext4 would probably be a wise choice

[09:24] <Charlyyy> Oh, ok i see, i'm really sorry tsimpson, thanks for the advice ! :)
[09:25] <MaxFrames> hello
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:29] <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?
[09:32] <Synt> hmm i wonder why i can only manage one nic
[09:33] <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
[09:34] <iceroot> MaxFrames: yes but it does not disallow something by default
[09:34] <ruslan> can anybody help with network-manager on ubuntu 10.04 LTS for ARM arch? I have the problem, nm-applet drops any GSM connection using 2 different modems.
[09:34] <MaxFrames> I also wantedI didn't say it did
[09:34] <MaxFrames> to manage ubuntu from windows with rdp, so I installed xrdp, but I had to set the remote user to gnome-2d otherwise I got a blank desktop on windows
[09:35] <MaxFrames> and compiz crashed on the ubuntu side (rare case of crash)
[09:35] <MaxFrames> now it works rather smoothly though
[09:37] <MaxFrames> I have to say that I am impressed by the performance gain of this old pentium d machine (1 gig ram) which was running xp before (it now dual boots)
[09:37] <MaxFrames> ubuntu has given it new life
[09:38] <almoxarife> MaxFrames: you got the install disks for the xp?
[09:38] <MaxFrames> not for this specific machine. I have a recovery partition. why?
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <MaxFrames> I need dual boot. Thanks for the suggestion anyway
[09:42] <MaxFrames> bbl, coffee time
[09:42] <N56VZ> Hi, I have just brought N56VZ and installed ubuntu 12.10  on it. however the Fn+ F5/F6 which control the screen brightness isn't working, can anyone show me the path to fix that?
[09:42] <almoxarife> of course, one would not want to get rid of the real OS on the machine
[09:44] <almoxarife> N56VZ: you cant control brightness at all or just with the fn keys?
[09:46] <bencc> when executing "gs myfile.ps" is there a way to get the file from stdin?
[09:47] <neil_ubuntu> !ubotto
[09:48] <neil_ubuntu> !ping
[09:48] <N56VZ> almoxarife, just the Fn
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> bencc: how do you mean?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> bencc: do you mean like:  cat myfile.ps | gs -
[09:51] <neil_ubuntu> !factoid
[09:52] <bencc> ActionParsnip: yes that's almost what I need
[09:52] <bencc> ActionParsnip: I'm calling gs from erlang with os:command("gs ...")
[09:52] <bencc> ActionParsnip: so if I have the file data I can just do os:command("binary_data... | gs -") ?
[09:54] <almoxarife> N56VZ: that problem is specific to your model most likely, and alot of others too
[09:56] <N56VZ> almoxarife, ya i have done some searching but yet found a solution :<
[09:57] <almoxarife> N56VZ: dont fixate on the keys, better yet, look at this as a possible solution, i use it, 'redshift'
[09:58] <almoxarife> N56VZ: it sets brightness by time of day and location on earth, how cool is that?
[09:59] <N56VZ> almoxarife, sound cool yet i prefer it read the lux of the room from camera and set it periodically ;p
[10:00] <nopz> Hi there. i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 and I want to know the io usage by process per day, i know I can use Iotop for that but is there any tool that can sort after a day of monitoring the top io usage process?
[10:01] <almoxarife> N56VZ: that would also be very cool, dont know about an app existing though, it may very well already be out there
[10:01] <nopz> like 1- mongo: 43% 2- postgresql: 12% ....
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> bencc: not something I've used, sorry
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> nopz  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[10:10] <nopz> thank you
[10:17] <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?
[10:19] <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?
[10:20] <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] <devswap> x11 thats what i meant :)
[10:20] <devswap> actionparsnip: dont think i have vlc installed - is that the best all round media player?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> devswap: try a few, see if it gets better
[10:21] <anti_> Vlc is always a good start.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> i'd say mplayer :)
[10:22] <anti_> Pretty quiet in a chat with so many users lol.
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> anti_: same in ot
[10:24] <andrea_> how can i use ps to see the current % util of a process knowing its PID?
[10:24] <LordThumper> Hi
[10:25] <devswap> does anyone here use ubuntu in virtualbox - whats the best way to get usb keys to automount without powercycling a machine?
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <anti_> It shouldn't be too much work to add it before powering up imo.
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: I just read the man page, it's not something I ever had to do. Did you read the man page aty all?
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> devswap: I'd ask in #vbox
[10:29] <andrea_> ActionParsnip: yes i did, but i didn't realize you could put pid, pcpu at once like you did, i just type only one at once
[10:29] <andrea_> thank you for your help
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357654
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: copied directly from the man page
[10:31] <andrea_> ActionParsnip: sorry i am new to linux, i've never seen using commas on terminal commands
[10:31] <andrea_> i didn't even know you could
[10:31] <anti_> http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html
[10:31] <gordonjcp> andrea_: it's a list of columns you want to display
[10:32] <anti_> That will help you learn the basic commands for linux.
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: if the man page says you can do it, its all good :)
[10:33] <andrea_> gordonjcp, yes, however i see that you still have the PID in the outpud, can i use AWK to get rid of it, right?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: sure, pipe to    awk {'print $1'}
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: or $2 if it's the second colomn etc
[10:35] <andrea_> ActionParsnip: perfect, thank you. Sorry if i'm a newbie, you've helped me also in the past. I am thankful.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> andrea_: no worries dude
[10:36] <LordThumper> ActionParsnip: gparted worked perfectly thanks :)
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> LordThumper: great little app
[10:39] <devswap> is the gimp the best graphics package to open and handle psd docs?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> devswap: there is no single best
[10:43] <hsnmck> hello I change my keyboard layout to ca instead of us and it works. however it doesn't work for the tty console (still us). How can I chnage my keyboard layout in the tty console. thanks
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> hsnmck: there is a config file, just trying to find it
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> hsnmck: sudo apt-get install console-tools
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> hsnmck: sudo loadkeys
[10:47] <angs> I cannot install wpa_supplicant by "apt-get install wpa_supplicant" I get this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357679/ can anyone tell me how I can fix it? I also typed "apt-get update" before the command
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> angs: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> !info wpa_supplicant
[10:48] <angs> ActionParsnip: lsb_release -sc
[10:48] <angs> sorry precise
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> !info wpa_supplicant precise
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> angs: it's not a package
[10:50] <angs> ActionParsnip: I am following the instruction here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 and I am typing the wpa_supplicant command and get this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357684/
[10:50] <angs> do you know if I suppose to install something to use wpa_supplicant?
[10:50] <Evil_Eric> hi guys i got a question about 12.04 LTS 32bit and pae from what i read it automatic when it detects the architecture is this correct?
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> Evil_Eric: the kernel has PAE compiled into it so it is ued regardless
[10:51] <Evil_Eric> ued?
[10:51] <Evil_Eric> oh used
[10:52] <Evil_Eric> ok thank you Actionparsnip
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <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
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <Evil_Eric> ive used it it works i was just hopping for new input
[10:58] <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
[10:59] <gordonjcp> Evil_Eric: if your hardware supports 64-bit, just use 64-bit
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <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
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <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
[11:05] <Evil_Eric> even better just run windows <----this is a joke please dont get 2 offended
[11:06] <dr_willis> i think im the only person that hasent tried setam yet..
[11:06] <dr_willis> on linux. ;)
[11:06] <Evil_Eric> i dont even know what setam is yet
[11:06] <jrib> Evil_Eric: it's "steam" when typed without coffee
[11:07] <dr_willis> i have ran steam via wine for ages.. but just dont game a lot
[11:07] <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?
[11:07] <Evil_Eric> lmao i KNOW steam!!!
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <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] <dr_willis> been playing that 'rochard' (?)  platformer.
[11:10] <Evil_Eric> ooooo postal 2 ='s love
[11:11] <Evil_Eric> so does urbanterror
[11:11] <Evil_Eric> <---mombot user
[11:11] <dr_willis> i dont think i ever finished  postal 1 ;) thats the one where you kill Gary coleman? ;)
[11:12] <Evil_Eric> yes
[11:12] <Evil_Eric> at the mall
[11:12] <Evil_Eric> with a grenade
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> gotta love the cat silencer :)
[11:12] <Evil_Eric> \m/
[11:13] <Evil_Eric> ok guys you have talked me out of using 32 bit ubuntu and its breaking day light here and my ubuntu coffee cup is empty
[11:14] <fyksen> Have played some serious sam the last 2 days.. It's a awesome FPS game.. Looking forward to kicking some windows butt in TF2!
[11:14] <Evil_Eric> i have serious sam on steam
[11:15] <marsfligth> How to set 'statically' the screen resolution to get normal resolution even if the monitor is off when the OS is booting?
[11:15] <Evil_Eric> gotta love the first thing you do is rip and mosters eyeball out
[11:15] <dr_willis> marsfligth:  powered off or unplugged?
[11:16] <dr_willis> marsfligth:  you trying to vnc into a headless  box? or why is this an issue?
[11:16] <vooze> Hey guys.. I have a bit of a "network problem" with my ubuntu-server 12.04... When i manually set ip in /etc/network/interfaces it cant connect to the internet :/ .. local network is fine.. Here is all my configs etc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357726/     Problem is that it was working fine a few days ago.. just suddently it stopped working.. Any ideas?
[11:17] <fyksen> Evil_Eric, indeed! My girlfriend and I played coop together last night.. She fell in love with the first act :)
[11:18] <Evil_Eric> thats awesome fyksen
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> fyksen  but offtopic in this channel
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> vooze: if you run:  echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[11:18] <fyksen> MoMo, sry! :)
[11:18] <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?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> vooze: do you then get web access?
[11:18] <Evil_Eric> tell your gf i said she hasnt seen s--t yet  fyksen
[11:19] <lhavelund> Evil_Eric: Please refrain from swearing, whether obscured or not.
[11:19] <Evil_Eric> oh my bad
[11:19] <vooze> ActionParsnip: let me try, 2 secs :)
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> vooze: it works via DHCP as you are getting the name servers via DHCP too, you have not set your nameservers in the interfaces file, so there is no way to resolve web based names to IPs
[11:21] <Evil_Eric> well looks like its time for me to break out my usb stick and actually load ubuntu 12.04LTS
[11:21] <Evil_Eric> ill be back in a few
[11:22] <Evil_Eric> this is freenode right
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> vooze: should help add name servers in the interfaces file: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836144
[11:22] <ping__> I tried to install ubuntu from the LiveUSB, but why the mouse does not work
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> Evil_Eric: yes, #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> ping__: does the system have a make and model?
[11:22] <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
[11:23] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <Evil_Eric> whats better for media and stuff 12.04 or 12.10
[11:26] <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 ;-)
[11:27] <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
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <elninja> isn't your default terminal configured in /etc/passwd
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> hex20dec  type set|less <-- watch the first line
[11:30]  * Evil_Eric starts the ubuntu 12.10 64bit download 
[11:30] <InFlames> .
[11:31] <vooze> ActionParsnip: that worked.. Thanks!
[11:31] <Evil_Eric> what do you guys think of the whole conacel asking for donations but seriously
[11:32] <hex20dec> "set is a shell builtin" MonkeyDust
[11:32] <InFlames> conacel?
[11:32] <Evil_Eric> well the ubuntu web site and all
[11:32] <InFlames> cannonical?
[11:32] <fyksen> Evil_Eric, I like the idea, but I'm not fan of the donate before download way.. A site after you downloaded would be much better..
[11:33] <bazhang> !ot | Evil_Eric
[11:33] <Evil_Eric> ok ok going to the offtopic chan
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> vooze: sweet, you are usising static IP, so no DHCP request is sent
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> vooze: the file only dictated the IP addressing but no name server
[11:36] <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 ;)
[11:37] <jrib> hex20dec: erm, chsh would also work instead of usermod
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <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
[11:40] <lhavelund> understandably, they're too similar in name.
[11:41] <hex20dec> jrib: Okay, so I entered: usermod -s bash <user> and opened a new terminal and still nothing.
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <jrib> hex20dec: you need to login again
[11:43] <jrib> hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc...
[11:46] <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.
[11:47] <jrib> hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc...
[11:48] <jrib> hex20dec: i.e. you should pass "/bin/bash", not "bash"
[11:49] <keeperZ> Please help Ubuntu 12.10  dont recognize my  ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics [ BT156GW01 ] graphics card on my laptop , What can i do to solve this ?
[11:50] <lolcat> keeperZ: install the driver?
[11:50] <keeperZ> lolcat how do i do that
[11:51] <west> how do I get my wifi working? i have bcm4318. help.
[11:51] <lolcat> Click the driver installation icon?
[11:51] <keeperZ> i do but nothing happens
[11:52] <west> what and where driver installation icon?
[11:53] <jrib> hex20dec: all ok now?
[11:53] <hex20dec> jrib, froze... =\ Restarting.
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <jrib> hex20dec: using chsh is a little safer in that sense; it would warn you about not having a valid shell
[11:56] <Miscni> keeperZ, join the club, I have been asking for that since 10.04
[11:56] <jrib> hex20dec: anyway, off to the gym
[11:56] <hex20dec> jrib: Thanks, enjoy your session.
[11:57] <InFlames> welp
[11:57] <InFlames> now you're stuck with me helping you
[11:57] <InFlames> :D
[11:57] <andrija_> is there a more simple program for wep cracking
[11:57] <andrija_> than aircrack?
[11:57] <InFlames> andrija, i prefer to call them up and ask nicely
[11:58] <andrija_> call up who?
[11:58] <InFlames> the owner of the wifi network
[11:58] <Kartagis> heh, I've just learned something new. turning your mouse wheel while on sound icon increases/decreases your sound :)
[11:58] <InFlames> that's how craig of craig's list got my friend's password
[11:58] <andrija_> oh..:D im trying on my own network
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <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
[12:02] <InFlames> i thought everyone cracked wifi on backtrack...
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> andrija_: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux   they may know it
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> InFlames: there are a few distros that have tools like that, backtrack is far from something new
[12:03] <InFlames> oh yea totally
[12:04] <InFlames> everyone i knew who was leeching wifi used to use backtrack for all the tools included for that type of thing
[12:05] <InFlames> you don't happen to know how i can fix an issue of Ubuntu being "dissatisfied" with my adobe air version do you?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> InFlames: adobe air was dropped from linux AGES ago
[12:06] <InFlames> but the awesome tool i use only supports air!!! :[
[12:06] <kandinski> hi, how can I recover the network-manager indicator on the top panel/menubar?
[12:06] <InFlames> bummer, even if air sucks
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> InFlames: http://www.osnews.com/story/24859/Adobe_Drop_Linux_Support_for_Adobe_AIR/    that's from Jun 2011
[12:07] <devswap> I am running an ubuntu machine in a VM - I was going to encrypt the home drive for extra protection but would this put much overhead on the machine interms of cpu as I am limited in cpu capacity with it being on a VM?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> InFlames: what does the app do?
[12:07] <InFlames> just another reminder of how adobe has abandoned me
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <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...
[12:10] <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
[12:11] <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
[12:12] <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 ;)
[12:13] <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
[12:14] <InFlames> i say "linux" because it's like windows, millions of configurations, but it's missing those big dollar signs you get with windows
[12:15] <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
[12:20] <belgianguy> is Ubuntu for phones a standalone product, or will it be something intertwined with Android?
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> there is #ubuntu-android but there's only one dude in there
[12:23] <belgianguy> ActionParsnip: yeah, I saw that (viral) video about Ubuntu for phones
[12:23] <belgianguy> but before I always saw some sort of hybrids
[12:23] <devswap> the ubuntuone pricing is quite expensive isnt it
[12:23] <k1l_> belgianguy: we had a similar discussion about it in #ubuntu-discuss some days ago
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: I'd post on the video page on youtube etc.
[12:24] <belgianguy> k1l_: and what was the conclusion?
[12:25] <k1l_> belgianguy: that there is no information around about this issue
[12:26] <belgianguy> ActionParsnip: YouTube comments aren't regarded as highly on the IQ scale I'm afraid
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <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
[12:28] <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
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <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. If I do the same keeping on the monitor I get the normal resolution (1680x1050). How can instruct Ubuntu to use the normal resolution even if the screen is off? Thanks for reading
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> devswap: i dunno, the rhythmnbox plugin is pretty decent, but it should get cheaper over time I guess.
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <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 ;)
[12:34] <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
[12:35] <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
[12:36] <brantje> Hello =)
[12:36] <brantje> i'm running ubuntu 12.04, with dual gigabit lan connected to a procurve 2650
[12:36] <brantje> How can i get bonding to work?
[12:38] <dhankher> I am unable to install ubuntu 12.04 on my PC.... Its a dual-core 1.5 GB Ram Machine
[12:39] <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 ...
[12:40] <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?
[12:41] <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 ..
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> dhankher: so the only error you get is the file copying?
[12:43] <dhankher> Yes ... I am able to run the Live CD/DVD but can't install it
[12:43] <brantje> i'm running ubuntu 12.04, with dual gigabit lan connected to a procurve 2650
[12:43] <brantje> How can i get bonding to work?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> dhankher: do you get web access in the liveCD?
[12:44] <dhankher> yes
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> brantje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> dhankher: did you try updating ubiquity and gparted ?
[12:45] <dhankher> no ...
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> dhankher: that's worth doing :), get the latest installer and partitioner, can help
[12:47] <dhankher> ok .. i will try that .. thanks for your help :)
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> dhankher: no worries, you made it easier by doing the god stuff like MD5 testing :)
[12:47] <ciclone> hi guys
[12:47] <belgianguy> what is the normal way of uninstalling Web-Apps btw?
[12:48] <belgianguy> without going to hidden .local folders
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: they are just packages
[12:49] <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
[12:50] <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] <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
[12:52] <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)
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: in a terminal, run:  dpkg -l | grep groo      see what comes out
[12:54] <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)
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <belgianguy> also: ii  unity-webapps-grooveshark                     2.2                                        all          Unity Webapp for grooveshark
[12:57] <belgianguy> where would I mark the package for removal?
[12:57] <belgianguy> Synaptic?
[12:58] <thoonai> heyo
[12:59] <thoonai> which kernel supports cmov and cx8 less cpus?
[12:59] <thoonai> and why does the minimal iso needs pae, cmov and cx8
[12:59] <thoonai> ?
[13:01] <k1l_> thoonai: non pae kernels were dropped
[13:03] <acerbus> Can anyone point me to where I can find the configure options for php5 (in repo) without having to install it and its dependencies?
[13:05] <ciclone> ?
[13:05] <jrib> hex20dec: everything sorted out with your shell?
[13:05] <MasKBoss> Hi, i'm really new to ubuntu, just downloaded and installed 12.10. instalation was ok. now when i boot, only walpaper and mouse cursor apears! already searched forum, faqs etc. can someone help me?
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <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
[13:09] <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> =]
[13:10] <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?
[13:11] <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] <k1l_> thoonai: dont know. but the minimal isnt compatible as possible. its minimal as possible :)
[13:12] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip ok gimme a sec pls
[13:12] <thoonai> k1l_: fooooooo
[13:12] <thoonai> im going to offtopic for ranting
[13:14] <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 :)
[13:15] <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] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: np
[13:15] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip well it said something like this: VGA Compatible Controller [AMD] nee ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO ]
[13:17] <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
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: then reboot and hopefully the updates will make things nice
[13:18] <ciclone> i add some aliases to bashrc, i need to reboot to use it?
[13:18] <jrib> ciclone: source ~/.bashrc
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ciclone: no, just run:  source ~/.bashrc
[13:18] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip ok tks, i'll give it a try. brb!
[13:18] <ciclone> ah thank you :D
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ciclone: Linux is made for uptime, reboot is rarely needed (but can make things easier)
[13:18] <rumpe1> masterofall, everything's solved, go to bed :D
[13:19] <ciclone> ActionParsnip, thank you :D jrib thank you too :)
[13:19] <tomatopotato> ubuntu for android question
[13:21] <tomatopotato> if an adroid phone is running ubuntu, will that phone be able to recieve and make calls?
[13:21] <tomatopotato> or i that ubuntu for android only for tablets?
[13:22] <ciclone> hmm new aliases work but i add "agi" as "sudo apt-get install" but autocomplete for packages in this way doesn't work, is my fault or is normal?
[13:22] <ciclone> (sorry for my english!)
[13:23] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip: didn't work! :(
[13:23] <MasKBoss> everything run without an error. the last one "dist-upgrade" done nothing..
[13:23] <MasKBoss> after reboot still the same.. just the mouse cursor and the wallpaper
[13:24] <rds_> hai guys how to add an icon to an application that have no icon by default ?
[13:25] <dr_willis> rds_: make a whatever.desktop launcher file for the app. see   gedit.desktop for an example
[13:25] <Kartagis> rds_: edit its .desktop file
[13:25] <marsfligth> How can I get my default screen resolution (1680x1050) even if the OS has fully loaded with the screen switched off? Actually if the monitor off, it set at 800x600. Thanks for reading
[13:25] <Kartagis> or that
[13:25] <harrypotter2> anyone know best mac theme for ubuntu 12.04lts?
[13:26] <mastershake> hey guys
[13:26] <Kartagis> dr_willis: speaking of which, where are .desktop files located?
[13:26] <dr_willis> marsfligth:  yiu should mention its on a kvm.
[13:26] <marsfligth> ok
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: try:  sudo apt-get install xfce4
[13:26] <dr_willis> Kartagis: i always do a locate  foo.desktop
[13:26] <mastershake> i want to use Network-Manager instead of WICD, how can i configure it to connect through NM?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: then log off with:  killall -u $USER    and log in to the XFCE session
[13:27] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip how do i login to that?
[13:27] <rds_> Kartagis, where I want to save the.desktop file ?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: its an option in ubuntu icon near your username
[13:28] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip ok, tks once again. lets go!
[13:28] <dr_willis> rds_: for ststem wide.. same dir that gedit.desktop is in
[13:29] <Izinucs> mastershake - wow. that's different.  most typically want to go the other way around.. They both don't seem to cooexist well together so uninstall the one you don't want to use.
[13:29] <dr_willis> system wide..
[13:29] <Kartagis> rds_: /usr/share/applications seems a nice place
[13:29] <brantje> Does anyone now why my LACP rate is slow?
[13:29] <Izinucs> mastershake be sure you know how to manually setup your network connection though. just in case NM fails
[13:29] <ciclone> have to shutdown the machine! see you later!
[13:30] <Kartagis> rds_: please, ask for he person's permission before pm

[13:33] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip it worked!!!
[13:34] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip now i have something... well i don't really know, but it doesn't seem like ubuntu... it seems sort of a security mode or something..
[13:34] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip is this the usual desktop? or am i supposed to do anything else?
[13:36] <Izinucs> MasKBoss  right mouse click for menu.. it's a configurable desktop like most all of them.. just lightweight and quick.
[13:37] <dr_willis> securitt mode?  ;)
[13:38] <MasKBoss> Izinucs but it still has same features right? and when i reboot it will login to that?
[13:39] <MasKBoss> dr_willis i just installed ubuntu for the first time.. i dunno anything of this :P
[13:39] <Izinucs> MasKBoss  sure.. it will run all the gnome programs, has it's own set of add-ons and configuration tools and will be there on reboot.
[13:40] <mastershake> how can i switch
[13:40] <mastershake> WICD to Network Manager
[13:41] <MasKBoss> Izinucs ok tks
[13:41] <Izinucs> MasKBoss  xfce or xfce4 is the desktop used in Xubuntu..
[13:41] <dr_willis> mastershake: i thought you have to uninstall the one you dont want. then install the ither
[13:41] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip thank you so much!

[13:43] <Ben64> the old hardy man page, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/gcalctool.1.html says "delete" clears the screen, but it doesn't
[13:43] <Ben64> tomatopotato: because LTS are good
[13:44] <tomatopotato> got it
[13:45] <pInvoke> Good day, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 LTS and want to forward a vpn connection over a socks5 proxy. Which basicly means, i want my server connected to a vpn network, and provide a socks5 proxy to surf through it. Can someone suggest me a small handbook to do this? I never used ubuntu nor openvpn on a terminal. Some links would be great :)
[13:45] <magentar> is it possible to play blurays on linux at all? so is it worth buying a bluray device these days?
[13:45] <BigCat> I am new here, but I am not ready to get into the whole Amazon on my desktop issue yet
[13:45] <henry_>  I am migration a mysql database from the old server to the new server, and it looks as if it stops after reaching a certain limit especially when reaching the number 73/74 tabels.
[13:46] <k1l_> Ben64: on 12.10 the del key isnt clearing the screen, too.
[13:46] <n8w> how do i do distro upgrade from the commnad line?  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt do it
[13:46] <k1l_> its more acting like the del key in a text tocument
[13:46] <west> sudo apt-get install upgrade   or something like that
[13:46] <Ben64> k1l_: yeah, it's strange
[13:46] <west> but first apt-get update

[13:51] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: np dude.
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: XFCE doesn't use Compiz etc, so doesn't need 3D accelleration

[14:15] <babyswizz> please am trying to use a usb modem on ubuntu linux and i cant seem to keep the connection for 5 seconds if at all it connects
[14:16] <BigCat> babyswizz; I havent used a modem in years, but you might have the amount of noise on your line checked by your phone co.
[14:16] <anonymous> hello.
[14:18] <babyswizz> BigCat: i use the modem on a windows 7 os perfectly
[14:18] <BigCat> ok, lemme think
[14:21] <BigCat> babyswizz, try this url?  http://www.ehow.com/how_6143449_connect-usb-modem-ubuntu.html
[14:21] <Phryq> hey guys
[14:22] <babyswizz> BigCat: thanks
[14:23] <BigCat> there are also drivers / firmware in Ubuntu Software Center
[14:25] <Touhou11> I pity you and your slow Internet speed
[14:26] <BigCat> wonder if you can attach a usb flash drive to a carrier pidgin - lol
[14:26] <fiveop> My 12.04 Installation does not seem to load (or maybe even have) drivers for the ethernet controller or the wifi card.
[14:27] <babyswizz> BigCat: how to i know what drivers / firmware to install as am a new linux user and i just installed the ubuntu linux 12.10
[14:27] <fiveop> However, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom this page states it should (bcm4312(4))
[14:28] <BigCat> many of the entries have labels indicating what manufacturer or product name they work with - also there is a more information once you get into each entry
[14:28] <BigCat> some times ya just gotta root around
[14:31] <BigCat> babyswizz, software center has a search engine, just put in usb modem - that should get you going
[14:35] <babyswizz> BigCat, thanks

[14:52] <ActionParsnip> georgeph: try:  sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[14:54] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Isn't "adobe-flashplugin" from partner which is disabled by default?

[15:40] <loke> Hello guys. I have a very annoying problem, and Googling haven't helped much. My Xorg dies (showing a SEGV in the Xorg.log file) whenever I try to log in with KDE. Log in with GNOME works. Also, merely starting Emacs will also immediately kill Xorg, however, as far as I can see, no SEGV in the log file at that time. Has anyone seen anything similar? This started after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10.

[16:00] <georgeph> jrib..ok it is just too new..and i haven't had time to work with it yet
[16:00] <Kart> N56VZ: zykotick9's option looks legit as well .. try that first please before messing with xorg
[16:00] <zykotick9> N56VZ: see that ubuntuforum post - looks like my suggestion won't help, sorry
[16:01] <georgeph> but at least the gnome-terminal is available and gcc seems to report ok for working on the kernle
[16:01] <georgeph> kernel
[16:02] <N56VZ> Kart, zykotick9 , i did some search but yet to found a solid solution :<

[16:09] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: none of those distributions are supported here, just so you are aware
[16:09] <horte> Hi guys, I'm having a problem using "kill" that I can't figure out. I have a process running. When the process is started using a shell-script I can't use kill -2 to kill it, though when I have started the process 'manually' (not using the script) then I can use kill -2. how come?
[16:09] <mad-leigh> still learning how to use IRC, just watching mostly
[16:09] <Guest77997> where are the network profile's (backup wireless) saved too?
[16:09] <mad-leigh> cheers
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> horte: does your user own the process?
[16:10] <horte> I think so, the script is run as my default user (not with sudo).

[16:10] <mad-leigh> but they are based on ubuntu :-s
[16:10] <georgeph> that is really some shit that microsoft got their own version of nvidia's proprietary 3dvision for their preferred ati platform
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: yes but they aren't ubuntu

[16:11] <keith_> I'm having trouble with trackpad configuration. I have two finger scroll enabled, and I have it so that two fingers on the mouse pad and a click is the same as a right click (macbook, so no right click actually). My problem is that if I have one finger on the track pad, then place another on it without moving the first, the page scrolls and I can't get what I'm trying to click on
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: ubuntu is based on debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
[16:11] <beaky> hello
[16:11] <mad-leigh> thanks for your tips
[16:11] <georgeph> ok bazhang...sorry i will refrain...but microsoft got their own version of 3dvision for ati hardware
[16:11] <beaky> how do I boot a ubuntu usb from a mac?
[16:11] <loke> Yay! Solved!
[16:11] <bazhang> georgeph, how is that on topic here?
[16:12] <Abhijit> beaky, just burn the iso to usb and set bios setting to first boot usb drive and restart computer
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: why not use proper ubuntu?
[16:12] <georgeph> well not sure but it may be doable on linux with opengl approach
[16:12] <beaky> how do I access the bios on a macbook pro?
[16:12] <mad-leigh> I have 12.04 on my laptop

[16:12] <Guest77997> thanks ActionParsnip im doing a fresh install and i needed my old networks
[16:13] <georgeph> ok bazhang...sorry
[16:13] <loke> Basically, commenting out the Section "Files" that points the FontPath to the fontserver in xorg.conf fixed it.
[16:13] <bazhang> !1984 | loke yes it's logged
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: there are other desktops to use...
[16:14] <loke> ubottu: Well, now the solution is logged then. I'd love to know why that happened though. :-)
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> mad-leigh: you don't have to use Gnome + Unity
[16:14] <mad-leigh> yes I have downloaded a fair few to try out

[16:15] <chucktewks> hey all - can you still install plain old open office on Ubuntu?  i dont see it in the software center
[16:15] <BigCat> u might try libreoffice
[16:15] <georgeph> chucktewks...some of it is already installed on the 12.04 version....libreoffice...not openoffice
[16:15] <rumpe1> chucktewks, why not libreoffice?
[16:16] <chucktewks> BigCat, libre is installed but i need/want the database app that comes with open office
[16:16] <Abhijit> chucktewks, http://askubuntu.com/questions/116590/how-to-install-open-office
[16:16] <Abhijit> chucktewks, libreoffice also has the database ap
[16:16] <bekks> chucktewks: That database app is included in libreoffice too.
[16:16] <chucktewks> Abhijit, thanks
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> chucktewks: if you get the debs from the openoffice site then you cna install it
[16:17] <chucktewks> Abhijit, where is the db app - i cannot locate it (sorry to be such a noob!)
[16:17] <bekks> chucktewks: Maybe you have to install it :)
[16:17] <chucktewks> bekks, mebbe so :)
[16:17] <Guest77997> er ActionParsnip  slight problem i dont have that directory on my other hard drive do i need to be booted into that drive for it to show?[i have hidded files shown]

[16:21] <Abhijit> beaky, glad to know
[16:21] <mad-leigh> is there a CommodoreOS room ?

[16:21] <keith_> Hello, my track pad scrolls when I put to fingers on the trackpad (i.e. I place two on without moving them, but the page scrolls the distance proportional to their distance apart). How can I stop this?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> keith_: does the system have a make and model?>
[16:21] <keith_> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04, MacBook 2,1 (late 2006 model)
[16:23] <keith_> Also, if I have one finger on the track pad, then I place another on, it also scrolls that distance. So when I move my mouse over a link, place another finger on the track pad in order to right click, the page scrolls and it makes right clicking difficult.

[16:24]  * lukecarrier runs and hides under his bridge
[16:24] <georgeph> lukecarrier...unity seems ok here but still too early to tell how reliable this new platform is
[16:24] <lukecarrier> georgeph, from experience it's about as reliable as Soviet nuclear power
[16:25] <georgeph> lukecarrier...uh oh...going to be a rough ride i guess
[16:25] <bazhang> !ot > lukecarrier
[16:25] <fircx> Still no luck with triple monitor ...
[16:25] <Tm_T> lukecarrier: please stick in the topic, if you like to have a chit chat, please use one of the offtopic channels
[16:25] <xan_IT> anyone can tell me if evince in ubuntu 12.10 can show a pdf with image?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> lukecarrier: you don't have to use Unity you know...
[16:25] <georgeph> lukecarrier...well it seems to be working ok for now
[16:25] <lukecarrier> ActionParsnip, thank goodness from the Ubuntu packagers working on Gnome packages <3
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> lukecarrier: Unity is a shell for Gnome, when you use Unity you are using Gnome
[16:26] <keith_> ActionParsnip: I'm following the directions on the page you linked for me, but I don't have an xorg.conf, only an xorg.conf.failsafe. Should I create it?
[16:26] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip: using rari?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> keith_: if there is an xorg.conf file, it will be used
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> O_Comprido: do you mean raring (Ubuntu 13.04)?
[16:27] <lukecarrier> ActionParsnip, yeah... pretty sure Canonical have little to no influence on the Shell project
[16:27] <fircx> here is my lspci the system can see both video cards http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358321/
[16:27] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip: yes raring, im asking beccause i upgrade i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358106
[16:28] <BigCat> ok, if you try out different DEs, how do you delete an unwanted DE and make it take all of its apps etc with it
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> O_Comprido: yes, but raring isn't supported here
[16:28] <fircx> but i cant see the monitor attached to it
[16:28] <bazhang> O_Comprido, #ubuntu+1 for that
[16:28] <lukecarrier> judging by their hilarious show of incompetence around the lovely Unity project.... I'd say it's more than positive
[16:28] <O_Comprido> bazhang: i did, but so far i didnt get an answer that could help, thats why im asking to ActionParsnip
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> O_Comprido: its still offtopic here
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> O_Comprido: I suggest you report a bug
[16:30] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip: but im afraid ill have issues when rebooting, can you come to +1 chan?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> O_Comprido: I'm fighting a backup..sorry
[16:31] <xan_IT> anyone can read this pdf http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/vakken/apa/01administrationmotivationintroduction.pdf with ubuntu 12.10???
[16:31] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip: luck have will not so
[16:32] <OerHeks> xan_IT, yes, with chrome/build in pdf reader
[16:32] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip: sorry
[16:32] <xan_IT> using evince
[16:32] <Touhou11> xan_IT: If the default PDF reader doesn't work, you can get the official Adobe reader for Linux
[16:32] <Touhou11> xan_IT: Or you can download it as a file and try the OpenOffice PDF conversion, which is usually not bad
[16:33] <xan_IT> i suppose that evince 12.10 have bug
[16:33] <georgeph> is timidity++ available for ubuntu

[16:33] <sabayonuser> anyone knows y ubuntu 12.04 fails u boot frm usb vid unetbootin
[16:33] <loke> beaky: Panic
[16:33] <Touhou11> xan_IT: Evince doesn't have flawless PDF support for everything in the format, it supports the most common things. You can get ridiculous things in valid PDF files
[16:33] <beaky> :D
[16:34] <fircx> anybody know how to setup triple monitor ? does unity have decent support for that ?
[16:34] <fiveop> If I sudo modprobe a module, should it be loaded after reboot again?
[16:34] <fiveop> or is that just temporary for the session?
[16:34] <acuozzo> Does anyone here use Ubuntu with an HP laptop that has "Beats Audio"?
[16:34] <acuozzo> I can only get ALSA to recognize 4.0 out of my 4.1 speakers (that is, no subwoofer).
[16:35] <georgeph> acuozzo..people are still mad at HP for laying off many American workers...and moving the jobs to HP Israel...plus they sent 10 billion dollars overseas instead of giving it to me
[16:35] <fiveop> ActionParsnip: After I modprobe the driver (wl) for my wireless controller. What do I do next, so that it actually does something? ifconfig and iwconfig still only list 'lo'
[16:36] <acuozzo> georgeph: That sucks :-( However, I still want my subwoofer to work!
[16:36] <sabayonuser> anyone knows y ubuntu 12.04 fails u boot frm usb vid unetbootin
[16:36] <sabayonuser> [10:02] <-- chudler has left this server (Max SendQ exceeded).
[16:36] <acuozzo> Plus, it's not an HP thing. They don't make the soundcard -- IDT does.
[16:37] <_Mozes> What is it with Americans workers getting mad at other countries... The US just isn't competitive anymore, stop crying about it and go to school.
[16:37] <DaemonicApathy> sabayonuser: My guess would be that you installed it on the USB drive incorrectly.
[16:37] <zykotick9> fiveop: modprobe is only temporary.  see /etc/modules to add something to boot
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> fiveop: all I know is that guide dude. I buy wifi that works out of the box :)
[16:37] <fiveop> zykotick9: thx
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> _Mozes: that is offtopic here
[16:37] <fiveop> ActionParsnip: thanks

[16:41] <keith___> ActionParsnip: That page doesn't seem to have helped. I disabled the mouse plugin in gnome settings daemon and updated my xorg.conf, and restarted X. However placing two fingers on the track pad still causes it to scroll a short distance
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> xan_IT: I'm at work so cannot test it, sorry

[17:11] <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 :)
[17:11] <llutz> tsaavik: did you relogin with the user after adding him to the group?
[17:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, im trying to use gzip to unzip a gzip archive (i did file myfile to make sure it was a gzip archive) and it says: www.pastie.org/5377976
[17:12] <llutz> tsaavik: what does "sudo -ll" as that user show?
[17:12] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: umm, what does "file YOUR_FILE" say?
[17:13] <tsaavik> llutz: sorry, was putting together the pastebin
[17:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: myfile: gzip compressed data, from unix, max compression
[17:13] <tsaavik> I have a fresh ssh session
[17:13] <tsaavik> [sudo] password for str:
[17:13] <tsaavik> Sorry, user str may not run sudo on hostname
[17:13] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: you can just use "gunzip".  If you're sure it's a gzipped tar archive, then you can do: tar xvf FILE
[17:14] <tsaavik> llutz: jrib http://pastebin.com/Ruyg6At6
[17:15] <cordyceps> please help w/ wifi. It only works at home. At McDonalds the wicd gui says it can't find a network. But here is what iwlist scan sees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358410 And here is wicd log from the same session: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358412
[17:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: www.pastie.org/5378054
[17:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> neither work
[17:15] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: gunzip FILE
[17:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: thats what i did
[17:15] <WhereIsMySpoon> its even there in the pastie
[17:15] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: rename it
[17:16] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: to end in .gz
[17:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: oh nvm, it was actually a dia file but linux thought it was a gzip
[17:18] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: ok
[17:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> T_T
[17:20] <O_Comprido> ActionParsnip:  i have installed openjdk-7-jre  but firefo continues not being able to run java
[17:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> surely you need plugin?
[17:20] <jrib> tsaavik: that's only the answer to my first question
[17:20] <bazhang> O_Comprido, this is not the channel for Raring
[17:21] <tsaavik> the "dosn't work" part is at the bottom of the paste. the user can not sudo. oddly, if I add the user directly (not a group, but a user) to the sudoers file it works fine.
[17:21] <O_Comprido> bazhang: java continues being the same as in quantal
[17:21] <bazhang> O_Comprido, dont crosspost here on Raring issues
[17:21] <jrib> tsaavik: run groups before running that sudo command
[17:22] <O_Comprido> bazhang: so enabling java for firefox in raring its the same for quantal
[17:22] <tsaavik> jrib: sorry, I don't understand. I ran groups before the sudo in the pastebin, showing that its in admin and sudo groups
[17:23] <jrib> tsaavik: you ran groups as root
[17:23] <jrib> tsaavik: it could be that in the login you have for str, his group memberships are not yet effective
[17:24] <tsaavik> when i run 'groups str' I get the same output as root, BUT when i run 'groups' i only get the user group "str"
[17:24] <jrib> tsaavik: you need to login again
[17:24] <Pici> O_Comprido: Raris not even close to being stable. We do not support Raring in #ubuntu.
[17:25] <Pici> *Raring
[17:25] <tsaavik> do i need to kill all my existing logons? because i shut my ssh session down and re-connected, but i'm sudo'd in another
[17:25] <jrib> tsaavik: no.  Are you sure you aren't using screen or something?
[17:26] <Helsinkiii> hi
[17:26] <tsaavik> nope, no screen or tmux. lemme ssh from another host to make sure I don't have that shared ssh stuff running
[17:26] <Calinou> hi. successfully installed xubuntu on this computer (without keeping windows :)), sound issue: when I'm not running a 3D app, an high pitched sound is constantly played
[17:27] <Helsinkiii> Since I've installed 12.04, my wifi connections keeps disconnected sporadically, bringing down my entire network for a few minutes at a time
[17:27] <Calinou> some suggested me to disable microphone, but I can't do that since I'm using it
[17:27] <jrib> tsaavik: yeah, maybe.  newgrp should take care of it for the current login.  But you probably want to figure what's going on anyway
[17:27] <tsaavik> jrib: yup, groups shows all the groups now
[17:27] <tsaavik> dammit
[17:27] <tsaavik> thanks jrib
[17:27] <Helsinkiii> anyone have any ideas as to how MY OWN wifi connection is causing network-wide disconnects?
[17:27] <jrib> tsaavik: no problem.  llutz actually called it with his first remark :)
[17:27] <mneptok> Calinou: reduce the microphone level. it may well be feedback.
[17:27] <cordyceps> please help w/ wifi. It only works at home. At McDonalds the wicd gui says it can't find a network. But here is what iwlist scan sees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358410 And here is wicd log from the same session: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358412 12.04 did this, so I graded to Quantal, but same thing.
[17:27] <cordyceps> *upgraded
[17:28] <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)
[17:29] <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?
[17:30] <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: could be a loose or broken headphone connection.
[17:31] <Calinou> mneptok: haven't tried speakers (i only have integrated speakers on my screen, desktop computer here)
[17:31] <kelye>  /j mercenaries
[17:32] <paco1> salut les masters!
[17:32] <Calinou> mneptok: unlikely, else that wouldn't happen when the graphics card is not being used (at least on windows)
[17:32] <Calinou> paco1: #ubuntu-fr
[17:32] <paco1> hello!
[17:32] <mneptok> Calinou: try another set of 'phones?
[17:33] <Calinou> mneptok: i'm 100% sure they are not broken. if i plug them on my netbook which runs xubuntu too, they work just fine
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <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] <mneptok> Calinou: loose or broken speaker connector getting varying amounts of power.
[17:36] <tsaavik> Calinou: if you unplug the headphones and speakers, do you still hear it?
[17:39] <Calinou> yes
[17:39] <Calinou> the computer itself plays the sound..
[17:40] <Helsinkiii> anyone have any ideas as to how MY OWN wifi connection is causing network-wide disconnects?
[17:40] <paco1> i'm creating a package for myself, and i have a question: how to create user during packaging?
[17:40] <tsaavik> have you tried momentarily stopping the fan on the video card
[17:40] <paco1> thanks!
[17:40] <Calinou> tsaavik: it's not the GPU fan...
[17:40] <Calinou> definitely not
[17:40] <tsaavik> Okay, then I think i know exactly what your talking about
[17:41] <tsaavik> some people are able to hear the pwm through an inductor when the varnish on the inductor has started to fail. This could be an indicator of other issues (why did the varnish fail, did it overheat)
[17:41] <jrib> paco1: #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu may be more helpful with packaging issues
[17:41] <omerozkan> Hello. How are you? I need hepl
[17:42] <tsaavik> Calinou: hunt around and see if you can pin the noise to your powersupply (likely culprit), otherwise you might be looking at a slowly dieing videocard :(
[17:42] <jrib> omerozkan: Hello.  I am well.  What do you need help with?
[17:42] <Calinou> tsaavik: this issue happens since always (my computer is 9 months old)
[17:42] <tsaavik> it can, whenever i hear it i return the item
[17:42] <Calinou> maybe i should try to plug stuff again, yes
[17:42] <Calinou> i'll look into it later
[17:43] <paco1> jrib: ok, thanks
[17:43] <tsaavik> I had a brand new samsung that I took back, I could hear it hum when i set the brightness to anoything below 80 :D
[17:43] <omerozkan> jrib: thanks. I always get error that is "libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
[17:43] <omerozkan> libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
[17:43] <omerozkan> libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast"
[17:43] <tsaavik> prime95 on windows is usally my go-to powersupply torture test
[17:43] <jrib> omerozkan: what do you do to get that?
[17:43] <omerozkan> when starting virtual android mobile and wine
[17:44] <yaquya> quick question: am i supposed to add gnome3-ppa when running ubuntu gnome remix 12.10? does it add some sort of stability or just newer nautilus etc?
[17:44] <jrib> omerozkan: other than that output, does everything work ok?
[17:44] <tsaavik> Calinou: looks like there is a prime95 for linux, try that out in torture test mode, the one that stresses powersupply
[17:45] <omerozkan> jrib: wine is not working
[17:45] <jrib> omerozkan: but virtual android works ok?
[17:46] <omerozkan> jrib: no virtual android too.
[17:46] <omerozkan> jrib: I use my android phone instead virtual. That's not important. But it is not same with wine.
[17:46] <tsaavik> Calinou: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/
[17:48] <Guest27757> hey NickServ, I would prefer EleteDude27757 next time.
[17:48] <jrib> omerozkan: can you pastebin full output when you try to run wine?
[17:50] <omerozkan> jrib: http://pastebin.com/9LDyj8RY
[17:50] <aleksandar221> anyone willing to help me integrate empathy 3.6 with libpurple
[17:51] <jrib> omerozkan: what video card do you have?  Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[17:51] <gmachine_24> Hello. Using truecrypt I created a encrypted partition - and it's working fine. My question is when I delete something from that partition do I need to use a program such as 'shred'  or 'secure-delete' or can I just delete a file (or whatever) since it's encrypted?
[17:52] <omerozkan> jrib: http://pastebin.com/Sj51c4Qd. I have nvidia
[17:53] <Guest27757> gmachine_24, when you rm a file it is not decrypted first, it is safe
[17:53] <Nibinaear> How do I find the installation folder of Firefox in Ubuntu?
[17:53] <gmachine_24> Guest27757, OK, thanks. That's what I figured but I wanted a second opinion.
[17:53] <Nibinaear> I read some articles, none were helpful.
[17:54] <jrib> Nibinaear: why do you want to know?
[17:54] <Guest27757> gmachine_24, np, always good to ask :-)
[17:54] <Nibinaear> jrib, I need to port my Firefox and Thunderbird installs from windows 7
[17:54] <omerozkan> jrib: http://pastebin.com/NgbnbYfT
[17:54] <jrib> omerozkan: I don't know why you have that error.  If you aren't opposed, you could see if you have better luck with nvidia's drivers instead of nouveau
[17:54] <jrib> Nibinaear: port what exactly?  Bookmarks and such?
[17:55] <omerozkan> jrib: thanks :)
[17:55] <jrib> !nvidia | omerozkan
[17:55] <Nibinaear> jrib: Everything, whole profile.
[17:55] <omerozkan> jrib: !nvidia?
[17:55] <jrib> Nibinaear: the profiles are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[17:56] <Nibinaear> The instructions say to copy the profile folder out from windows, that's done. But now I have to find the FF install folder in Ubuntu, it just says:
[17:56] <jrib> omerozkan: that just has the bot send you information
[17:56] <Nibinaear> ~/.thunderbird/<Profile name>/ <--not very helpful to newbies.
[17:57] <jrib> Nibinaear: ~ means your home directory (usually /home/username).  Directories that start with a '.' will be hidden by default, so you'll have to show hidden files
[17:57] <LifeIsGood169> I'm looking for help with a lvm. I'm getting a few error msgs. Anyone here with experience? the #lvm channel seems to be quiet.
[17:57] <tsaavik> Doesn't firefox have a profile importer wizard that prompts you when it first fires up?
[17:57] <gordonjcp> LifeIsGood169: pastebin the error messages *verbatim*
[17:58] <Nibinaear> jrib: Thanks will have a look.
[17:58] <LifeIsGood169> gordonjcp: rgr
[17:58] <ciclone> hola
[17:58] <wifioregon> Does anyone know if Ubuntu runs well on a mac book pro 2010?
[17:59] <jrib> !mac | wifioregon
[18:00] <LifeIsGood169> gordonjcp: http://paste.kde.org/606686/
[18:00] <wifioregon> That page confuses me though. Generally does Ubuntu run well on newer mac book pros?
[18:00] <jrib> wifioregon: should work fine on something from 2010
[18:00] <LifeIsGood169> gordonjcp: different error... looks like I messed up, but I used to get a failed to find device UID or something.
[18:01] <jrib> wifioregon: linus runs linux on a macbook pro iirc
[18:01] <gordonjcp> jrib: huh, showoff ;-)
[18:01] <gordonjcp> wifioregon: I'm running 12.10 quite successfully on a Macbook 3,1
[18:01] <jrib> macbook 4,1 here
[18:01] <gordonjcp> ie. Late 2007, Core 2 2.2GHz 3GB
[18:02] <gordonjcp> works just lovely
[18:02] <gordonjcp> dual-boots and everything
[18:02] <jrib> i was wrong linus uses a macbook air
[18:02] <gordonjcp> +1 would buy again
[18:02] <ring0> dual-boots linux and linux? ;)
[18:02] <jrib> gordonjcp: only thing I hate is that it tries to slice my wrists...
[18:02] <eas7> ;D
[18:03] <gordonjcp> jrib: I haven't found that, but unless I sit properly with my wrists up I keep randomly selecting and dragging stuff
[18:03] <gordonjcp> with hilarious consequences
[18:03] <jrib> gordonjcp: yeah, I had to use synclient to disable clicking when I'm typing (and I disabled focus-follows-mouse)
[18:04] <wifioregon> jrib:  This is a mac book pro 2010.  Do you think the newest Ubuntu would work? I hate mac os x and want to use Linux
[18:04] <gordonjcp> jrib: yeah
[18:04] <LifeIsGood169> gordonjcp: this is more like the error.... http://paste.kde.org/606692/  perhaps I'm forgetting steps?
[18:04] <jrib> wifioregon: it should.  Try a live cd and see what happens
[18:04] <gordonjcp> jrib: I need to figure out how to get synclient to start on boot
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: then buy a laptop (non mac) and save yourself a packet
[18:04] <gordonjcp> jrib: rather than sticking it in bashrc
[18:04] <wifioregon> jrib:  I have live USB's do yo know how to boot to one on a mac?
[18:04] <jrib> gordonjcp: just use Startup Programs
[18:04] <wifioregon> ActionParsnip:  I just bought this mac book pro from a very desperate friend
[18:04] <gordonjcp> jrib: I'll look into that
[18:04] <jrib> wifioregon: I don't know
[18:05] <gordonjcp> wifioregon: make it dual-boot, and keep OSX around
[18:05] <wifioregon> gordonjcp:  k
[18:05] <jrib> wifioregon: yeah I keep OS X around on a small partition so I can grab firmware updates from apple
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: ahh I see
[18:05] <chucktewks> hi folks - is it possible to install a .deb manually with apt-get?  something i've downloaded
[18:05] <gordonjcp> wifioregon: it's not like it costs you anything to do, and it's useful to have
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> chucktewks: use dpkg not apt-get
[18:05] <jrib> chucktewks: use dpkg or gdebi -- make sure it's meant for your ubuntu version
[18:05] <BigCat> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/MacOSX
[18:06] <chucktewks> thanks
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> chucktewks: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> chucktewks: you may need to run:  sudo apt-get -f install     to satisfy deps
[18:07] <MDTechus_MAN> Hello
[18:07] <sevenforall> I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and I'm not quite satisfied. It appears a lot laggier, and I can't find a way to install the graphics driver.
[18:07] <MDTechus_MAN> Hello all!
[18:07] <sevenforall> Hello MDTechus_MAN :P
[18:08] <wifioregon> sevenforall:  did you try going to 'Addition Drivers'? Also you can change the interface. I'm a big fan of gnome-classic personally
[18:08] <jrib> sevenforall: hardware drivers was move to software sources I think (it's a tab in there)
[18:08] <wifioregon> sevenforall:  to change interface, open terminal and type: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[18:08] <NoiseEee> hey, i'm on 10.04LTS and i was wondering if someone could point me to how I can remove the gazillion old kernels that are appearing in my boot screen / grub
[18:09] <wifioregon> sevenforall:  and then logout and next to your usernaVe is a little round button. Click that and select Gnome Classic
[18:09] <sevenforall> wifioregon: Well, I'm not, so I'm just going to stick with unity ;)
[18:09] <jrib> NoiseEee: just remove the appropriate linux-image package
[18:09] <wifioregon> sevenforall:  ah ok
[18:09] <sevenforall> wifioregon: I'm not new to Ubuntu or Unity/Gnome3, hehe
[18:09] <sevenforall> I know what's up
[18:09] <jrib> NoiseEee: (make sure you do not remove ALL of your kernels)
[18:09] <NoiseEee> from software centre, jrib?
[18:09] <sevenforall> jrib: You're right, thanks!
[18:09] <jrib> NoiseEee: yep, you should be able to do it from there
[18:10] <NoiseEee> ty jrib
[18:11] <sevenforall> I don't want to ruin Canonical's business model, but is there a way to remove those album suggestions while searching for software? I don't mind the suggestions themselves, I just think they are horribly ugly in the dash
[18:11] <jrib> !adlens | sevenforall
[18:11] <sevenforall> Same for software basically, when I search for software, I don't want to get suggestions, I just want to see what's installed
[18:11] <sevenforall> jrib: Thanks once more
[18:12] <jrib> sevenforall: not sure about the software installation.  Maybe synaptic will suit you better?  Or just use the command line
[18:12] <sevenforall> jrib: Well I'm more referring to the search in the unity dash
[18:12] <jrib> sevenforall: ah
[18:13] <jrib> don't know :)
[18:13] <sevenforall> jrib: I'm still going to thank you
[18:13] <MDTechus_MAN> Hello all, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu Desktop on my 1KWatt server, which uses RAID 0
[18:14] <MDTechus_MAN> please help
[18:14] <sevenforall> 1KWatt server, bloody feces. Anyway, what kind of trouble are you experiencing?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> MDTechus_MAN: can you give some details please
[18:15] <MDTechus_MAN> sorry, the install doesn't see the RAID
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> MDTechus_MAN: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l     do you see drives and partitions?
[18:16] <MDTechus_MAN> one sec... let me check
[18:16] <Jmac_> im here
[18:17] <MDTechus_MAN> having trouble booting it
[18:18] <MDTechus_MAN> isn't turning the monitor on
[18:18] <Sly68> ciao a tutti
[18:18] <MDTechus_MAN> ?
[18:18] <MDTechus_MAN> :
[18:18] <MDTechus_MAN> :?
[18:19] <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.
[18:21] <MDTechus_MAN> just a hardware question: is it posible that the video card will not work if there isn't enough power?
[18:21] <bkc_> MDTechus_MAN: yes
[18:21] <MDTechus_MAN> ok
[18:21] <bkc_> MDTechus_MAN: correction, if you're talking desktop then yes, on laptop no
[18:22] <MDTechus_MAN> I'm talkin' 1KWatt server
[18:22] <jtee> I am trying to set up a bootp server but am not sure I have done it right
[18:22] <jtee> wireshark see the requests from my device but the bootp server never sends anything back
[18:22] <bkc_> MDTechus_MAN: then yes, if there's not enough power for the GPU then the GPU can fail to start
[18:23] <MDTechus_MAN> gettin' a extention cord....
[18:24] <andrea_> can i grep just the PID of a process using ps ?
[18:24] <jrib> andrea_: maybe you want pgrep... what are you trying to accomplish?
[18:26] <andrea_> jrib: i think i did it with  ps ax | grep <process_name> | awk {'print $1'}
[18:26] <jrib> andrea_: why not just use pgrep?  But I am curious why are you doing this at all
[18:27] <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.
[18:28] <andrea_> jrib: lol that was trivial. Sorry, i'm kinda new to linux, i didn't know pgrep yet :S
[18:28] <jrib> andrea_: so what are you going to do with the PID now?
[18:28] <MDTechus_MAN> ok ran a extention cord to anothe plug that's from another breaker
[18:30] <MDTechus_MAN> aw fu** still aint' working!
[18:30] <andrea_> jrib: i need to compile a script to kill a process if a threshold of cpu time is hit
[18:30] <jrib> andrea_: hmm
[18:30] <jrib> andrea_: do you know about limits.conf?
[18:31] <jrib> andrea_: oh but I guess that's user-wise
[18:31] <andrea_> jrib: what do you mean?
[18:31] <MDTechus_MAN> anyone know why a 1KWatt server's GPU might not turn on?
[18:32] <MDTechus_MAN> VERY unlickly that it's a power problem
[18:32] <jrib> andrea_: « man limits.conf » see the section on "cpu".  But that lets you set limits per-user and I guess you just want to restrict a certain process.  There must already exist a solution for this...
[18:32] <cordyceps> please help w/ wifi. It only works at home. At McDonalds the wicd gui says it can't find a network. But here is what iwlist scan sees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358410 And here is wicd log from the same session: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358412 12.04 did this, so I upgraded to Quantal, but same thing.
[18:33] <MDTechus_MAN> hhem help still needed
[18:33] <jennie> please tell that my HDD contains bad sector or not ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358597/
[18:34] <MDTechus_MAN> looks fine to me
[18:34] <MDTechus_MAN> jennie:
[18:34] <jennie> yes
[18:34] <jennie> ?
[18:34] <andrea_> jrib: the problem i have is that due to a bug of some sort, there is a gnome process that randomly causes heavy writes to SSD, and i've noticed that this proces is idling the most part of the time, but when it starts with this strange behavior, the CPU rises to 20-30%. Since i don't want my SSD to get loaded of random and useless wirtes, i would need to kill it before it starts writing 40 GB of data as already happened
[18:35] <DaemonicApathy> jennie: It looks like no testing was actually done. Impossible to say whether it is good or bad.
[18:35] <jrib> andrea_: I see
[18:35] <jennie> why no testing was done ? I saw the testing progressing
[18:35] <DaemonicApathy> jennie: Then perhaps I am just looking at it incorrectly, so you would be fine.
[18:36] <jennie> is that badblocks reliable for testing for bad sectors
[18:36] <andrea_> jrib: i don't know if this bug have been already acknowledged, i found something very similar to fedora but now i'm using 12.10. I will make this script to increase a value on a txt file if it gets triggered, so i will know if this bug happened again.
[18:36] <Kiichiro> Hello, I'm having trouble running the Xubuntu live CD, I believe it's the computer itself having problems, I stall at loading bootlogo and get an error code after awhile saying "EDD: Error 8000 reading sector 351840"
[18:36] <MDTechus_MAN> anyone know why a 1KWatt server's GPU might not turn on?
[18:37] <Halbyrd> hello all
[18:38] <MDTechus_MAN> please help!
[18:38] <DaemonicApathy> Kiichiro: It looks like the disc burned incorrectly. Check the md5sum for both the iso and the dvd.

[18:39] <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] <gsant> hi guys
[18:40] <RELOL> hi+
[18:40] <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] <RELOL> I cannot select text on ubuntu 12.04 with a touchpad
[18:44] <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.
[18:45] <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)
[18:47] <SamIAm> jrib, I purged ubuntu-one. DJones, I'll ask there too
[18:48] <jrib> SamIAm: what ubuntu version?
[18:52] <SamIAm> jrib, 12.10
[18:52] <jrib> !info ubuntu-one
[18:52] <jrib> SamIAm: I don't see any "ubuntu-one" package
[18:53] <SamIAm> jrib, it may have been ubuntuone. In any case, I tried both and neither appeared on my system
[18:53] <bazhang>  ubuntuone-client, ubuntuone-client-gnome   jrib
[18:55] <Halbyrd> okay, on further testing, apparently no USB devices of any kind are working when I plug them in after boot
[18:55] <Sonderblade> any guide somewhere for painlessy upgrading from ubuntu jaunty?
[18:56] <jrib> !eolupgrade | Sonderblade
[18:56] <jrib> Sonderblade: J -> K -> L -> P
[18:57] <jrib> Sonderblade: I'm not sure that can be done painlessly though
[18:57] <Sonderblade> jrib: well i want to jump some steps
[18:57] <jrib> Sonderblade: you are jumping the MNO
[18:58] <dr_willis> id be amazed if upgradeing that much worked.. and it will take some time
[18:59] <jrib> yeah, fresh install would likely be faster even if you don't yet have backups in place
[19:00] <Halbyrd> is there some reason why my USB ports would suddenly stop working? They seemed to be working fine on first install, but now they won't recognize anything plugged in after boot
[19:01] <badpenguin86> How can I add a VHD to boot in grub? A GUI way?
[19:01] <O_Comprido> when installing h264enc its also requiring mencoder, why did anyone made this?
[19:03] <zykotick9> O_Comprido: if you want to create mp4 files, i'd highly recommend install handbrake (not in default repo)
[19:03] <O_Comprido> zykotick9: i dont have that repo
[19:03] <swedeguy22> Hello! I recently installed Ubuntu but I have no ethernet on it, only WiFI. How can I fix this?
[19:04] <[jasper]> hej guys, I'm trying to get this wireless usb device to work...anyone know if there are native drivers for it ...linksys ae2500
[19:04] <WhereIsMySpoon> O_Comprido: then add it?
[19:04] <zykotick9> [jasper]: try plugging it in and running "lsusb" to find teh actual chipset.  linksys isn't helpful.
[19:05] <fuzet> hi
[19:05] <fuzet> someone there ?
[19:05] <O_Comprido> WhereIsMySpoon: i dont know what repo is
[19:06] <unrar> ohai

[19:08] <jrib> O_Comprido, WhereIsMySpoon: that page is fairly outdated
[19:08] <Bier_> can anyone help me install a snes emulator please? :(
[19:09] <jrib> Bier_: sudo apt-get install zsnes
[19:09] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: how? you still edit sources.list then apt-get update
[19:10] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: well !repos will have better information.  It will also include gui instructions. Some may assume that they should add hardy sources to their sources.list because of that blog page
[19:10] <Bier_> jrib: i get:  E: Package 'zsnes' has no installation candidate
[19:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: ok, i dont know all teh ! commands :)
[19:10] <KanzakiOKB> Need help, someone? About install something.
[19:10] <Bier_> i heard it's because i have 64bit
[19:10] <jrib> Bier_: what ubuntu version?
[19:10] <Bier_> 12
[19:10] <Shure> KanzakiOKB: Yea, I can't boot ubuntu from USB on my Thinkpad W510
[19:11] <jrib> Bier_: 12.?
[19:11] <_Marcus> Bier_: 12.10 or 12.04?
[19:11] <Bier_> 10
[19:11] <jrib> Bier_: well you can use multi-arch
[19:11] <KanzakiOKB> I gat Unbuntu, just need to install à f***"game".
[19:11] <Shure> jrib: What is multi-arch?
[19:11] <xangua> !language | KanzakiOKB
[19:12] <Bier_> "
[19:12] <Bier_> Multiarch is the term being used to refer to the capability of a system to install and run applications of multiple different binary targets on the same system. For example running a i386-linux-gnu application on an amd64-linux-gnu system. "
[19:12] <jrib> Shure: let's you use other architectures.  For example, you can install i386 packages on amd64
[19:12] <_Marcus> KanzakiOKB: What game? Is it for Linux or for Windows?
[19:12] <Bier_> sudo apt-get install multi-arch?
[19:12] <KanzakiOKB> Hola, something went wrong, I, me, need help, not proposing, sorry for misunderstunding Shure.
[19:13] <KanzakiOKB> _Marcus, stair dismount, on linux.
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> !es | KanzakiOKB
[19:13] <kriskropd> Does anyone know how I can check if wake-on-lan is enabled in BIOS using dmidecode or some other command line tool?
[19:13] <jrib> Bier_: you can do: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
[19:13] <atrius> http://www.whatistheitu.org/
[19:14] <LifeIsGood169> I need some lvm help.
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: I'd check:  man dmidecode
[19:14] <Shure> I can't boot the Ubuntu install from USB with my Lenovo Thinkpad W510. I can't get a real shell, it stops at the bootloader? It says something about that the Kernel is not a real 32 kernel.
[19:14] <Shure> I do have a command prompt,
[19:14] <Shure> but not a linux one
[19:14] <Shure> rather a bootloader one?
[19:14] <Shure> not even the help command is understood
[19:14] <LifeIsGood169> $10 says 'Shure' is from rpi
[19:15] <Bier_> jrib: i did that and it gave no message, and i still cant install zsnes
[19:15] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: yeah... i'm looking at that and it has some keyword options but none of them are for wake on lan, that's why im asking here :)
[19:15] <jrib> Bier_: now do « sudo apt-get update »
[19:15] <Shure> LifeIsGood169: rpi? RasperriPie? nope.
[19:15] <Bier_> do i have to do that after every install?
[19:15] <badpenguin86> How can I add a VHD to boot in grub? A GUI way?
[19:16] <jrib> Bier_: no
[19:16] <LifeIsGood169> sure: neither? guess I lost $10 on that one.
[19:16] <Bier_> ok
[19:16] <LifeIsGood169> shure: neither? guess I lost $10 on that one.
[19:16] <jrib> Bier_: apt-get update just refreshes your package cache (information about packages that are available) with the servers
[19:16] <Bier_> seems to be working!
[19:16] <jrib> Bier_: like magic...
[19:16] <Bier_> installing now
[19:17] <Bier_> it is magic
[19:17] <Shure> LifeIsGood169: I don't even own a RasPi.. why did you guess so?
[19:17] <Shure> LifeIsGood169: I clearly stated that I can't but my Thinkpad W510 ;)
[19:18] <LifeIsGood169> shure: I didn't guess raspi anything xD :p only rpi
[19:19] <LifeIsGood169> shure: bad guess nvm.
[19:19] <Shure> LifeIsGood169: Troy, NY?
[19:19] <LifeIsGood169> shure: yah it was a bad guess... w510 vs w500 xD
[19:20] <cosmo> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu alongside windows. I'm using a pendrive made with the linux pendrive tool, the installation stalls at a point where it tries to mount the cd drive and fails. I know I have the correct version of Ubuntu, and the iso checked good on md5

[19:20] <v0lksman> hello all!  how would you go about grabbing the conf file that comes with nginx package without re-installing?
[19:21] <jrib> v0lksman: do you really want to just grab it?
[19:22] <v0lksman> jrib: yeah I just want to see it's contents
[19:22] <jrib> v0lksman: you could just do apt-get source PACKAGE
[19:22] <jrib> v0lksman: unless the package does something weird where it generates the package after install...
[19:22] <jrib> s/package/conf file
[19:23] <v0lksman> jrib: nope..that did the trick!  thanks!
[19:23] <Bier_> jrib: THANKS :D it's installed! i was trying for hours last time and you fixed it so fast :)
[19:23] <jrib> v0lksman: no problem
[19:23] <jrib> Bier_: no problem, enjoy playing donkey kong
[19:24] <Bier_> thats exactly the game im going to play
[19:24] <jrib> Bier_: there was a big snow storm right after I got that game.  My cousins and I were basically snowed-in and all we did was play that game :)
[19:25] <babyswizz> please how do i know if am to install quantal or raring packages on my ubuntu 12.10
[19:25] <jrib> babyswizz: did you change your repositories?  Because 12.10 is quantal
[19:26] <babyswizz> jrib, no i didnt
[19:26] <jrib> babyswizz: then you should be installing quantal packages...
[19:26] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  then always choose quantal for 12.10
[19:26] <babyswizz> jrib would it be advisable to change it?
[19:27] <jrib> babyswizz: definitely not
[19:27] <newb> hi, im using ubuntu 10.10 Can i install gtk3 so i can use the latest themes but don't upgrade to gnome 3?
[19:27] <bekks> newb: 10.10 isnt supported anymore.
[19:27] <auronandace> newb: no, we don't support 10.10 anymore
[19:27] <babyswizz> jrib thanks
[19:27] <simplew> dpkg --compare-versions isnt able to compare these strings "+ppa1"  and   "~ppa1",  how can i get a comparation?
[19:28] <newb> so gtk3 itsnt in the repos?
[19:28] <haylo> i have some troll on my channel saying that ubuntu runs as root  like puppy linux. could one of the ops here pleeease say other wis. he is getting awful
[19:28] <newb> for 10.10 i mean
[19:28] <newb> i just hate unity and gnome3
[19:28] <bekks> newb: 10.10 isnt supported anymore. :)
[19:28] <jrib> simplew: probably better to ask in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu
[19:28] <auronandace> newb: there are other options: xfce, lxde, kde, enlightenment
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> newb  i don't like unity, so i don't use it, it's easy to install something else
[19:29] <Halbyrd> my USB ports don't seem to be recognizing new devices plugged in after boot in 12.10. Is there some way to fix this?
[19:30] <haylo> ubuntu does not run default as a root user does it? this guy is sure of himself he has me confused- cause you guys do keep changing things
[19:30] <auronandace> haylo: no, root is disabled by default
[19:30] <haylo> thanks auronandace
[19:30] <Halbyrd> ...anyone? I'd really rather not nuke my install if possible
[19:31] <aliengod> hi
[19:31] <Halbyrd> running 12.10 AMD64 on an Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A, if that helps
[19:31] <babyswizz> jrib can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
[19:33] <lapion> anyone know if "Allow live TV to move scheduled shows" is not working ?
[19:34] <BluesKaj> Halbyrd, does lsusb show the devices ?
[19:34] <Halbyrd> no
[19:34] <Halbyrd> lsusb and dmesg both come up blank
[19:34] <Halbyrd> devices aren't powering on either
[19:34] <Halbyrd> tried five different flash drives and two mice
[19:34] <lapion> sorry wrong channel
[19:36] <Halbyrd> I checked in the BIOS, EHCI and XHCI root hubs are enabled
[19:37] <Halbyrd> and it's only for USB devices that are plugged in after boot. anything plugged in as I power the system on gets recognized and works as it should
[19:37] <babyswizz> can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
[19:37] <auronandace> babyswizz: in what context?
[19:38] <auronandace> Halbyrd: not sure on the state of usb3 in the 3.5 kernel
[19:38] <Halbyrd> should I be upgrading to 3.7 then?
[19:39] <babyswizz> auronandace, when downloading and installing packages on ubuntu 12.10
[19:39] <Sonderblade> jrib: can a fresh install preserve my files in my home dir?
[19:39] <auronandace> Halbyrd: i'd hazard a guess that the more recent kernel would have better support but unfortunately using any other kernels means we can't support you here
[19:40] <auronandace> !mainline | Halbyrd
[19:40] <Sonderblade> i want to install ubuntu from a hard disk image and without losing files in /home
[19:41] <remote> do it
[19:41] <babyswizz> can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
[19:42] <Halbyrd> well, I'll try upgrading the kernel. worst comes to, I can just reinstall; all my critical files are backed up elsewhere
[19:42] <auronandace> Halbyrd: good
[19:42] <jrib> Sonderblade: sure, you just tell the installer not to format /home

[19:44] <Ionela873123> hello
[19:45] <Ionela873123> i have xubuntu. I want to isntall microsoft office 2010, because all my docs are messed up. Anyhow i understood that i have to install wine and get it to work on that. My problem is how will i then be able to install addons to office 2010, like let's say Equation 3.0 (an MS office addon)
[19:46] <auronandace> !appdb | Ionela873123
[19:47] <_DanN_> Ionela873123: easiest way to deal with that is to install MSOffice in ints native environment - windows - my advice would be : vmware - windows - ms office
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <_DanN_> Ionela873123: otherwise you'll be hacking wine/office all the times ;) this is my personal experience
[19:48] <jrib> !install | Sonderblade
[19:48] <Ionela873123> dann i have a cheap laptop thats why i installed xubuntu because windows XP is performing bad
[19:48] <Ionela873123> _DanN_:  ^
[19:49] <Ionela873123> But anyhow thanks, i'll just throw this laptop out the window and buy a new one (my wife is going mad now seeing this message)

[20:14] <LifeIsGood169> I need help creating a single partition across an entire disk. sdb = 200gb & sdc = 120gb. I would like to stripe them in lvm and combine their space.
[20:14] <BoomerBile> Nibinaear, /usr/bin/soulseek?
[20:15] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: do dpkg -L soulseek and try to find binary
[20:16] <Nibinaear> BoomerBile: No wasn't there, but:
[20:16] <bluegrass> ok now i have both KDE and whatever default running
[20:16] <Nibinaear> _DanN_: Thanks, worked.
[20:16] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: you're welcome
[20:17] <riqdiiz> Anyone with a snapshot of Ubuntu 12.04?
[20:17] <Nibinaear> It was in /usr/share/doc/soulseekqt

[20:17] <_DanN_> NimeshNeema: mm this location is for documentation ... definitely not for binaries
[20:18] <Nibinaear> _DanN_: Yep didn't look right.
[20:18] <Nibinaear> _DanN_: But nothing is in /usr/bin ?
[20:18] <Nibinaear> Weird
[20:18] <_DanN_> NimeshNeema: do "dpkg -L <package>" and put output to pastebin

[20:20] <seru> i have a headless ubuntu server that needed a restart today. i did everything like normal to reboot but now my usb hd's did not mount. is there a simple command or two that a newb can understand that would have the same effect as unplugging and pluggin the usb cable?

[20:21] <ikonia> Chain_: you've just said that, please wait around 10 - 15 minutes before repeating your question
[20:21] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: do "file /SoulseekQt-11-7-2012-64bit" and give me the output please
[20:21] <cookie1980> seru try sudo fdisk -l
[20:22] <_DanN_> NimeshNeema: I'm Daniel too anyway :-)
[20:22] <cookie1980> seru afterwards enter mount /dev/sd<yourdevice> /media/usb1

[20:22] <cookie1980> seru, make sure that /media/usb1 exists
[20:23] <Nibinaear> NimeshNeema: No he's not!
[20:23] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: so this is your binary
[20:23] <_DanN_> NimeshNeema: sorry ;-)
[20:23] <NimeshNeema> Nibinaear: :)
[20:23] <Nibinaear> lol
[20:23] <seru> cookie1980: normally my /media contains just the hd name  mobile   for example. i ran ur code then ls /media with no change
[20:23] <NimeshNeema> better.
[20:24] <Nibinaear> _DanN_: So how do I work out where this is installed?
[20:24] <cookie1980> seru, what device is your usb disk? /dev/sdc maybe?
[20:25] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: I assume you're in terminal ? if so then run it as: "/SoulseekQt-11-7-2012-64bit"
[20:25] <seru> cookie1980: good question. would lsusb tell me?
[20:25] <cookie1980> seru, sudo fdisk -l
[20:25] <seru> cookie1980: i have 2 external hd's btw
[20:26] <_DanN_> Nibinaear: no idea how to put it in menu ;) I'm not using these fancy x-windows managers
[20:26] <cookie1980> seru, mkdir /media/usb1; mkdir /media/usb2
[20:26] <Nibinaear> _DanN_: Ok, it worked, thanks.

[20:28] <cookie1980> seru, this means that you have 2 partitions on one device, is that correct?
[20:28] <dr_willis> Chain_:  what video chipser
[20:28] <dr_willis> chipset
[20:28] <seru> cookie1980: mkdirs done. 3 total parts, 2HDs
[20:29] <riqdiiz> Chain_: chain what's wrong?
[20:29] <tozen> Chain_:you've already answered on you're question. reinstall the system
[20:29] <vooze> Deivid: Just ended up installing flash 11.2 manually in google-chrome :)
[20:29] <vooze> so now it works
[20:29] <cookie1980> seru mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb1
[20:29] <cookie1980> seru sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb1
[20:29] <seru> cookie1980: other is /dev/sdb1
[20:29] <cookie1980> seru sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb2
[20:29] <Chain_> I've already reinstalled.  Um.. Radeon something if that's what you're asking dr_willis
[20:30] <arg39fy> what are we trying to do here exactly?
[20:30] <Deivid> glad to hear that vooze
[20:34] <Chain_> dr_willis: ATI RS690M Radeon X1200
[20:36] <dr_willis> Chain_:  if the default drivers dont work you may need to install the fglrx drivers. unity needs 3d support for full effects and may not work well without them. as a temp fix. you could install the 'lubuntu-desktop'  package viiia 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' from a console to get a nice light simpiler desktop
[20:37] <Chain_> dr_willis:  Thanks, I'll give it a go.
[20:37] <dr_willis> Chain_:  then try to get your drivers going. i dont use ati stuff so cant advise more on that
[20:37] <dr_willis> or you may like lubuntu ;)
[20:38] <blackness> openbox is as light as it comes ;P
[20:38] <Chain_> If I leave it as lubuntu, would I still need to try to find the solution to whatever my problem with my drivers is?
[20:38] <fabiolinux> Hi everyone! Some of you had experience with Ubuntu and a MacBook late 2006? I have some problems with the battery...
[20:39] <bekks> Chain_: yes.
[20:39] <omerozkan> Hello how are you? I need help :(
[20:40] <smoochict> what is required to run ubuntu 12.04/12.10 on Macbook pro mid 2012?
[20:41] <zykotick9> blackness: while i get your point, openbox certainly isn't the lightest wm ;)  even it's predecessor fluxbox is lighter.
[20:44] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[20:44] <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?
[20:45] <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.
[20:46] <smoochict> mrdavid: flash has been discontinued on ubuntu afaik
[20:46]  * OpenSorce stomps foot
[20:46] <mrdavid> smoochict: I still receive flash updates
[20:47] <smoochict> mrdavid: hmm, adobe flash website tells me its discontinued on linux os's
[20:48] <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.
[20:49] <OpenSorce> jrib, one sec
[20:49] <OpenSorce> jrib, it still says DPMS is enabled
[20:49] <guntbert> !details | omerozkan
[20:50] <jrib> OpenSorce: well there you go I guess
[20:50] <OpenSorce> jrib, okay... so how do I disable it then?
[20:51] <jrib> OpenSorce: you can manipulate those settings with xset dpms X Y Z    (you probably want to make X=Y=Z=0)
[20:52] <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] <guntbert> jrib: would xset -dpms work too for OpenSorce ?
[20:53] <omerozkan> smoochict: real computer of course
[20:53] <zykotick9> omerozkan: what video card are you using?  in terminal, "lspci | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure.
[20:53] <stfu_> whats this ------Queued joins:
[20:53] <jrib> guntbert: yeah, guntbert's suggestion should also work OpenSorce
[20:53] <omerozkan> zykotick9: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1)
[20:53] <omerozkan> " here is the output
[20:53] <jrib> OpenSorce: you can just put it in Startup Applications, that's probably easiest.  Or drop it in ~/.xprofile
[20:54] <OpenSorce> guntbert, jrib I just discovered that. Yes it works... now to test it. Thanks guys
[20:54] <OpenSorce> jrib, would putting it in rc.local make it system wide?
[20:54] <jrib> OpenSorce: no, it would just fail (you need to be in X)
[20:54] <zykotick9> omerozkan: have you using the driver-thing to install the recommended nvidia driver?  if so, use nvidia-settings to change the resolution.
[20:55] <pr0ph3t> omerozkan, I have the same problem at the moment
[20:55] <jrib> OpenSorce: these settings are probably exposed in the gui somewhere too.  Probably something like power management settings
[20:55] <OpenSorce> jrib, derp I knew that
[20:55] <OpenSorce> jrib, yeah I've disabled it in every way I can find
[20:55] <pr0ph3t> zykotick9, nvidia settings doesn't recognise the card
[20:55] <Chain> jrib: What you suggested was definitely part of my problem, I got it uninstalled and installed from a CD.
[20:55] <jrib> OpenSorce: if you really need to do it for multiple users, you can do it xorg.conf (or whatever nice way there is to configure X nowadays (wiki.ubuntu.com/X))
[20:56] <smoochict> i've heard rumors that ubuntu 12.10/13.04 won't fit on a 700MB CD, are these rumours correct?
[20:56] <jrib> Chain: cool
[20:56] <zykotick9> pr0ph3t: ah.  that's a problem for sure!  sorry, i got no suggestions for that (newest drivers?)
[20:56] <omerozkan> zykotick9: I use open source driver not recomended, I cannot change by Displays
[20:56] <jrib> smoochict: yes
[20:56] <OpenSorce> jrib, already done. I commented out the DPMS line it still does it
[20:56] <jrib> smoochict: well you can go see the size of the 12.10 isos
[20:56] <fribuntu> Or do I ha/
[20:56] <smoochict> more interested in 13.04, but thanks for the info
[20:56] <jrib> OpenSorce: but you didn't explicitly set it to no
[20:56] <OpenSorce> jrib, of course since this is a media center box there will really only be one user most of the time.
[20:57] <zykotick9> omerozkan: good for you.  i had one card that supported nouveau 3d, i was disappointed with the results at the time.  best of luck then.
[20:57] <OpenSorce> #    Option         "DPMS"
[20:57] <OpenSorce> jrib, so uncomment that and put "off" after it?
[20:58] <jrib> OpenSorce: yeah
[20:58] <OpenSorce> jrib, will do. Thanks again :-)
[20:58] <omerozkan> zykotick9: I have tried recommended nvidia driver but gnome3.5 does not work and I had the same resolution problem.
[20:58] <zamba> i've just upgraded to 12.04 and when i try to mount a cifs share, i get the following error:
[20:58] <zamba> mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library
[20:58] <zamba> this only happens if i specify iocharset (which i have to)
[20:59] <zykotick9> omerozkan: sorry your hardware is just too new for my knowledge ;)  sorry man, i got nothin'.  good luck.
[20:59] <omerozkan> zykotick9: thanks. new? I bought this computer three years ago :)
[21:00] <cihhan> Hi all! My top output is truncating when I use "top -c -b". This is happening under Xen VM (DomU). When I change stty -columns 256, it is working, but now there are so many empty characters put at the end of each line. When I ssh everything seems fine though. Any suggestions?
[21:00] <zykotick9> omerozkan: i'm not familiar with the G98 type naming, but i see it has the more familiar 9300 after that.  my bad, but hey - it's still newer then my 8800 ;)
[21:01] <omerozkan> zykotick9: I understood :)
[21:03] <bbonora> in shell how do I reset a users password
[21:03] <bbonora> I'm the admin
[21:03] <mta`chrono> passwd username
[21:04] <mta`chrono> sudo passwd # changes root password
[21:04] <mta`chrono> sudo passwd username # changes username's password
[21:04] <mta`chrono> passwd # changes your current password
[21:04] <bekks> root has no password set by default, dont change that.
[21:04] <bbonora> mta`chrono: Thanks
[21:04] <moh_> Hi, i cannot login to my Ubuntu 12.10, i got black screen asking for login in terminal
[21:05] <Sonderblade> hmmm does the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso fit on a cd? its 754mb in size
[21:05] <OpenSorce> moh_, have you recently upgraded video driver?
[21:05] <mta`chrono> crw-rw----+ 1 root video 226, 0 Nov 14 18:19 /dev/dri/card0
[21:05] <mbutubuntu> hello folks, I'm on 10.04 and I compiled hostapd 1.0. I'm using a dlink dwa525. Hostapd doesn't give errors but I can't detect the wifi network from another device....
[21:05] <moh_> I loged in with my details, but still in terminal, i tried typing metacity
[21:05] <mta`chrono> what's that ending '+' for? >>>> crw-rw----+
[21:07] <moh_> but it says unable to open x disply
[21:07] <moh_> opensorce, i do not know, i always did update and upgrade in apt-get
[21:09] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: i'm not sure what the + is, but i notice they are only on my video devices and cdrom drive???
[21:10] <zykotick9> moh_: try "startx"
[21:10] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: google told me that '+' indicates the acl list enabled for this.
[21:11] <zykotick9> moh_: once you've tried "startx" assuming it fails, you could check the error output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for lines with EE in them.
[21:11] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: it's just because normal users can't access /dev/dri/card0 on my pc due to insufficant permission. but on my laptop (same permissions) it works!
[21:12] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: check groups membership, and what group owns the device?  video?
[21:14] <bng_> hi all, I am having problem connecting from one Ubuntu machine onto a Samba share on another Ubuntu machine, however it works the other just fine. Could somebody please help?
[21:14] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: yes it owns root:video. but I think you don't explicit need to be member of the video group to access that. Have a look by calling `id` on your system.
[21:14] <[snake]> how do I get GFCE Ultra to work? The graphics only work when the sound is off. And when the sound is on it sounds terrible anyway.
[21:14] <bng_> * the other way
[21:14] <x__> bng_, pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[21:14] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: i'd suggestion you add whatever users you want to access that device to the video group.  log out/back in - should work properly.
[21:15] <bng_> x__: from which machine? :)
[21:15] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: sidenote, i prefer using "groups" to "id" myself.
[21:15] <x__> bng_, the one hosting the samba share :-X
[21:15] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: okay, and what does it display?
[21:15] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: oh, i'm in the video group
[21:16] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: :-(... okay.... can you tell me the other default groups, too. Then I'll add them.
[21:17] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: sorry i can't.  i don't use ubuntu - someone else?
[21:17] <zykotick9> mta`chrono: careful if you are using usermod!  without -a it removed all but the one you specify!
[21:17] <mta`chrono> zykotick9: I know ;-)
[21:17] <x__> zykotick9, haha i've done that before
[21:17] <x__> then you must boot into grub recovery to fix it
[21:18] <mta`chrono> Can somebody execute `group` on a standard ubuntu maschine and paste the default groups into the chan.
[21:18] <zykotick9> s/group/groups/
[21:19] <x__> x adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[21:19] <mta`chrono> sorry `groups`
[21:19] <mta`chrono> x__: thanks
[21:19] <x__> where x is also my username
[21:20] <bng_> x__: this is it, on the host machine: http://pastebin.com/AB8q5hUC  accessing it from the other box says "failed to mount windows share"
[21:20] <saquib> c
[21:20] <saquib> :-)
[21:22] <x__> bng_, ok looks like you have no shares setup ?
[21:23] <Juno88> hi, i'm a total beginer, can i get any help from u here?
[21:23] <smoochict> !help juno88
[21:23] <bng_> x__: I set one up using the nautilus context menu, it even showed on the other machine, but I cannot mount it
[21:23] <smoochict> fail lol
[21:24] <zykotick9> !ask | Juno88
[21:24] <bng_> x__: it is shows the share
[21:24] <x__> bng_, yea dont use that use the config file, check out mine for a starting point... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358947/
[21:24] <Juno88> does anybody know how to install 3g aplication made for Win7?
[21:25] <bekks> Juno88: There is no way.
[21:25] <Juno88> :/ i even wine won't help?
[21:25] <x__> Juno88, you can try wine
[21:26] <Omegas> how do I go about reseting a lost admin account? I went into recovery mode and selected root but it wants the root password that I don't remember :/
[21:26] <bekks> Juno88: Correct, wine wont help.
[21:26] <x__> bekks, where do you get your info from lol ? how do you know it won't help have you tried that specific app in wine ?
[21:26] <smoochict> omegas: you need to change your kernel boot config
[21:26] <bekks> x__: I know it because does not have direct full access to hardware.
[21:26] <smoochict> omegas: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[21:27] <zykotick9> bekks: +1
[21:27] <x__> ahh ok. I retract my comment
[21:27] <x__> would a vm work or no ?
[21:28] <ekhaat> Juno88, have you actually tried with wine?
[21:28] <delac> x__: likely, at least for usb devices
[21:28] <Juno88> yes, wine was the first thing i tried but it just don't work
[21:28] <zykotick9> ekhaat: delac it's the 3g over wine i see as being the major issue, many USB input devices work - but other h/w???
[21:29] <steiner>  irc.rizon.net
[21:29] <Omegas> smoochict: I'm in recovery mode nad dropped to root shell option already but it asks for my password to continue. It's server edition if that makes a difference
[21:29] <smoochict> are you talking about a 3g internet connection usb?
[21:29] <Juno88> yes!
[21:29] <Juno88> the orange one
[21:29] <Juno88> and this is a total mistake
[21:30] <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?
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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] <Juno88> and the mistake is the fact that it's terribly slow
[21:32] <Omegas> haha thats good
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <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 :)
[21:35] <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 :-)
[21:36] <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] <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.
[21:37] <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.
[21:38] <gordonjcp> smoochict: they can't edit /etc/passwd without going root, and they can't do that without their password
[21:39] <luckybunny> sudo?
[21:39] <TheChemist> I have to use my Windows partition to access the internet in order to find ways to debug, and than restart into my ubuntu partition try what I have researched and if it doesn't work, start over...
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <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] <smoochict> !password | smoochict
[21:42] <LifeIsGood169> I am resizing my root partition with a live CD and it is not working.
[21:42] <smoochict> how can you can you su into the account "nobody"?
[21:42] <LifeIsGood169> I get no such file exists when I run: lvreduce -rL 20G /dev/UBUNTUSERVER2/root
[21:42] <delinquentme> ls
[21:48] <LifeIsGood169> I could use help resizing a boot parition.
[21:49] <Progster> I've inherited the management of a server that's running 9.10. I want to update to latest, but worried it's going to cause all sorts of incompatibilities and whatnot. Updating my home machine to 12.04 resulted in a bunch of problems for me. Are there any guides or suggestions on making the process as seamless as possible?
[21:49] <sevenforall> I've made a simple guide to install a basic LAMP server on Ubuntu, could you guys check if you can spot any mistakes? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AeTjCYuFQsJcG3bWquudyOb2FYdBUGFx3i26z2qDWMk/edit
[21:49] <smoochict> progster: i suggest a full image backup of the hard drive, if that is possible.. go ahead!
[21:50] <auronandace> Progster: with something as old as 9.10 i'd suggest a reinstall
[21:50] <Progster> hmmm, really
[21:51] <auronandace> Progster: yeah, backup any settings you need and fresh install a supported version
[21:53] <bjrohan> I am trying to do some online training, which is done through a flash player. In Chromium, The flash player opens, but the content is too big for the player size, so I can not see the play/pause buttons. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Either by makeing the player windonw bigger, or shrinking the content inside the window?
[21:53] <bjrohan> I am not talking about the browser window, but the actual flash player window inside the browser windoe
[21:56] <babyswizz> pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
[21:56] <sevenforall> babyswizz: Certain the volume's up in VLC?
[21:56] <babyswizz> seven
[21:57] <babyswizz> sevenforall, yes am sure
[21:58] <sevenforall> babyswizz: Go to settings, select the Audio tab
[21:59] <sevenforall> babyswizz: Fool around a bit with the Output module dropdown box
[21:59] <sevenforall> Try ALSA first, then the others
[22:00] <igor89> ciao
[22:00] <igor89> list!ù
[22:01] <igor89> list!
[22:01] <babyswizz> sevenforall, whats ALSA
[22:01] <ikonia> igor89: stop
[22:01] <sevenforall> babyswizz: Basically an audio driver, a way for Linux to have your speakers make sound
[22:02] <sevenforall> babyswizz: It should be somewhere on that list
[22:03] <crackerjackz> !aircrack
[22:04] <crackerjackz> !aircrack-ng
[22:04] <babyswizz> sevenforall, in my settings i only have a sound option which does not include anything like ALSA but has a test sound button and when i test it, it actually produces sound but not from vlc
[22:04] <crackerjackz> anyone know if air crack is in the repos?
[22:04] <Razgul> Ubuntu 12.10, where would I find a channel on HTML or PHP help?
[22:04] <ikonia> search the repo and check
[22:05] <ikonia> Razgul: pm the bot "alias" and search
[22:05] <sevenforall> Razgul: Try #reddit-webdesign
[22:05] <Razgul> Thanks
[22:05] <Slart> Hello, I'm looking for some kind of software for doing "advanced presentations".. something a bit more advanced than what I can achieve with regular openoffice, preferably with python in the background.. latex typesetting and some kind of support for simple animations would be good.. anyone know of such a beast? or am I looking at doing it myself with cairo or similar
[22:06] <sevenforall> babyswizz: You need to look at Tools > Preferences
[22:06] <sevenforall> > Audio
[22:06] <Slart> crackerjackz: I don't think it is.. you can download it from their site though
[22:06] <gauche> Ubuntu failed to detect a file DVD :/
[22:11] <babyswizz> sevenforall i cant find tools in my settings
[22:11] <sevenforall> babyswizz: Can you shoot me a screenshot?
[22:12] <TheChemist> Is there anyone that can help me with getting my USB wireless adapter to work on 10.04
[22:13] <L3top> TheChemist: lsusb -nn | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless|802)'
[22:15] <babyswizz> sevenforall, am not sure i can do that on freenode webchat
[22:16] <sevenforall> babyswizz: You can upload it to http://imgur.com/ and send the link ;)
[22:16] <Raugturi> Does anyone know how I can install moonlight in Google Chrome?  I downloaded the CRX file but it won't let me install it as it isn't from the Chrome store.
[22:17] <_axel_> Raugturi, my only guess: try drag and dropping it in the extensions tab
[22:17] <Phibs> When using NFS or SMBD, I get kernel panics with 12.10, any help would be appreciated.
[22:18] <Raugturi> _axel_: I found that answer in a couple of places too, but it doesn't do anything at all.
[22:18] <Phibs> http://pastie.org/private/ngsvrewvgmebzx5xj2pq
[22:19] <Raugturi> _axel_: I drag the file out of nautilus, hover over the extensions window and in some screenshots I saw it pop up a message saying to drag/drop there, but I don't get that no matter where I hover with the file.  And when I let go nothing happens.
[22:20] <dr_willis> Raugturi: tried it in the chromium browser?
[22:21] <dr_willis> or just drag/drop it into the main window
[22:21] <Raugturi> dr_willis: same thing
[22:22] <Digit> i just found the most useful command:  yes look into my eyes ( . )( . ) | figlet
[22:22] <georgeph> does anyone know where the xorg.conf file is on ubuntu 12.04
[22:22] <georgeph> or does it use xfree86
[22:22] <dr_willis> Digit: try      fortune | cowsay
[22:23] <georgeph> i can't find xf86config utility either
[22:23] <Phibs> this channel not so useful for advanced users eh
[22:23] <Bier_> how do i force quit a program
[22:23] <dr_willis> georgeph:  /etc/X11  if it exists
[22:23] <_Mozes> Just ask an advanced question
[22:23] <MIH1406> s
[22:23] <MIH1406> s
[22:24] <dr_willis> georgeph:  x auto configures for the most part these days
[22:24] <georgeph> dr_willis...it exists but i don't see the config file to monkey with the driver
[22:24] <MIH1406> Hi, I have Ubuntu stuck on console asking for login information
[22:24] <dr_willis> Bier_:  kill. xkill. killall
[22:24] <MIH1406> I could not login to GUI
[22:25] <georgeph> dr_willis...xauto doesn't seem to exist either
[22:25] <dr_willis> what config file georgeph ?
[22:25] <georgeph> dr_willis well something like xorg.conf
[22:25] <kamakwazee> Hello. Is it normal for my testdrive raring synched iso to boot into console?
[22:25] <dr_willis> x does not normally need an xorg.conf these days
[22:26] <ikonia> kamakwazee: how is that an ubuntu question ?
[22:26] <Digit> dr_willis: cowsay | xargs yes | figlet
[22:26] <Digit> lol, or something like that.
[22:26] <dr_willis> Digit:  ;-)
[22:26] <georgeph> dr_willis...well the driver sucks..so i want to monkey around with some alternatives...i installed a deb driver but i don't know how to configure it without the conf file
[22:26] <dr_willis> georgeph: what driver
[22:26] <kamakwazee> ikonia: It is an ubuntu iso. The wiki page told me to use testdrive and sync iso, but my iso is booting in console.
[22:26] <MIH1406> Please help. I have Exam next day and I cannot do anything without Ubuntu. All  my stuff are there :(
[22:27] <babyswizz> pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
[22:27] <unborn> hi all.. i have very stupid question but - i never need it thing like that but now.. i do need it.. does anyone know how to setup file permissions for users that they will be able to see folders of other users but cannot rw to them please?
[22:27] <dr_willis> mixing in debian packages is not a good idea
[22:27] <ikonia> kamakwazee test drive and sync iso ? what, you just get an ubuntu iso and either burn it or boot from it
[22:27] <georgeph> dr_willis...well right now it is using a non-propietary driver of some kind..i don't know..i can't find the conf file
[22:27] <ikonia> kamakwazee: what are you trying to do ?
[22:27] <dr_willis> georgeph: what video card
[22:28] <georgeph> dr_willis well it is an old radeon...but it should be able to do some 3d
[22:28] <dr_willis> georgeph: old radeon may only work with the opensourced drivers these days.
[22:29] <dr_willis> fglrx drops a lot of the old cards
[22:29] <dr_willis> on a regular basis
[22:29] <kamakwazee> ikonia: testdrive is a virtual machine program. It syncs the iso with somewhere on the cdimages repository. I can then launch it. It goes to the ubuntu 13.04 loading page but redirects to console.
[22:29] <georgeph> dr_willis i have some ideas for monkeying with the firegl stuff....but i need to know where the xorg.conf info is kept
[22:29] <ikonia> kamakwazee: 13.04 ?
[22:29] <babyswizz> pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
[22:29] <ikonia> kamakwazee: 13.04 is basically a toolchain...nothing more
[22:29] <dr_willis> georgeph:  fire up a text editor and make it
[22:30] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Oh. I figured that it was a development build.
[22:30] <georgeph> dr_willis...oh man....ill have to look for an old skeleton somewhere
[22:30] <Slart> babyswizz: are you using the standard pulseaudio sound system?
[22:30] <ikonia> kamakwazee: it is a development build,
[22:30] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Oh, is it like not to the point where it has a gui system?
[22:31] <ikonia> kamakwazee: it depends, it's a development state, packages change daily and the state of it changes a lot
[22:31] <babyswizz> slart, i dont know what you mean by that but am running my ubuntu on a vm machine
[22:31] <georgeph> dr_willis what happened to xf86config executable
[22:31] <MIH1406> Do I need to cry to get Help?
[22:31] <georgeph> dr_willis or is it using xorg
[22:31] <dr_willis> georgeph: removed  years and years ago
[22:32] <ikonia> MIH1406: whining just makes you annoying and gets you ignored
[22:32] <dr_willis> ubuntu uses tge x.org x.
[22:32] <ikonia> MIH1406: just ask a question and wait for someone to help if they can
[22:32] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Oh ok. Then what should I do? I wanted to help with finding bugs and things of sort. What would you recommend?
[22:32] <georgeph> dr_willis...ok well i'll just try to goof around with it..thanks for your help
[22:32] <ikonia> kamakwazee: having a clue about what you're actually downloading would be a good start
[22:32] <kamakwazee> ikonia: good point
[22:32] <Slart> babyswizz: ok, let's assume your using pulseaudio.. it's the default, after all.. try installing the following package   pavucontrol    (run   sudo apt-get install pavucontrol  in a terminal)
[22:32] <ikonia> kamakwazee: being able to log bugs with a solid level of technical detail at this stage would be good
[22:32] <ikonia> kamakwazee: module and unit testing of components would be good
[22:33] <unborn> how can i block other users to see my private folder? anyone?
[22:33] <ikonia> unborn: change the permissions
[22:33] <k1l> MIH1406: what ubuntu exactly? what did you do before? which errors appear?
[22:33] <dr_willis> !permissions | unborn
[22:33] <georgeph> dr_willis...ok it is not using xfree it is using xorg
[22:33] <unborn> ikonia: yeah i know.. but what number?
[22:33] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Ok. Thanks for the assistance. Sorry for the probably stupid question.
[22:34] <ikonia> kamakwazee: it's not stupid, nothing wrong with asking
[22:34] <dr_willis> georgeph: yep.. been xorg for years now...
[22:34] <ikonia> unborn: 700
[22:34] <georgeph> dr_willis...ok well that changes things for me...i'll just have to goof around but i don't see the old
[22:34] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Ok. I just wanted to help in some way. I was following the wiki page to get started, and it told me to use testdrive to install development builds
[22:35] <ikonia> kamakwazee: sounds like a terrible wiki page to be honest (not your fault)
[22:35] <unborn> dr_willis: thank you.. but.. this is server.. i need to setup permissions for each website in manner that other users will not be able to access that "folders" via ftp.. only they home folder..and thats all..
[22:35] <unborn> ikona i will try it.. but i think that have something to do with ftp
[22:35] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Ya. Plus, I noticed that alot of the wiki pages are outdated. The meetings pages have like 2009
[22:35] <babyswizz> slart, can i download the deb file and install it? I'm finding it difficult getting my usb modem to work on ubuntu linux
[22:36] <unborn> oh and thanks ikonia
[22:36] <ikonia> kamakwazee: people are too busy writing hyped up web pages about things that don't exist rather than maintain docs
[22:37] <Slart> babyswizz: oh..can't you just make the vm use the host internet connection? (or just download the deb directly.. hopefully it won't need any other packages)
[22:37] <dr_willis> nextt you will  expect people to read the docs   ;-)
[22:37] <kamakwazee> ikonia: Ya, but ubuntu is constantly improving. Therefore, there is starting to be less need for docs
[22:37] <ikonia> kamakwazee: that's just nonsense
[22:37] <gauche> How do I set up KDE as the default?
[22:38] <fluitfries> i have "orange snow" on my youtube videos after updating to 12.10.  does anyone know how to fix?
[22:38] <babyswizz> slart, is it possible to share the same internet connection on both host and guest at the same time?
[22:38] <kamakwazee> ikonia: I didn't say there wasn't a need
[22:38] <ikonia> kamakwazee: there is no less need
[22:38]  * maxb has never heard of "orange snow" :-)
[22:39] <_Mozes> Sounds dutch
[22:39] <v0lksman> chocolate rain maybe?
[22:39] <Slart> babyswizz: I'm not sure how it works on your system but when I run virtualbox on ubuntu I can adjust the settings for the vm so that it uses the hosts internet connection.. kind of use the host as a router.. just a check-box in a settings dialog
[22:39] <kamakwazee> ikonia: It depends on the area
[22:39] <fluitfries> maxb, it's like specks of orange...  almost like "tv snow" on the old televisions
[22:39] <ikonia> not really
[22:39] <CodeRat> fluitfries think flash is officially dead. Google does not even support it in Android anymore. Use a HTML5 browser
[22:40] <fluitfries> CodeRat, i'm using Chrome with youtube as i always have...
[22:40] <CodeRat> fluitfries then it should world. Did you install some other stuff?
[22:41] <fluitfries> CodeRat, no, this started happening immediately after some system updates
[22:41] <babyswizz> slart, please what particular check box is that, and I'm using a usb modem on my host which is a windows 7
[22:41] <CodeRat> fluitfries force it to use HTML5 http://www.youtube.com/html5
[22:41] <S0> !
[22:41] <S0> !cmd
[22:41] <tinkster> Trying to install 12.04.1 server on an HP DL360e Gen8 ... it's supported hardware according to both HP and Canonical.  Problem is that the installer doesn't pick-up the RAID-1 volume, but rather sees two individual disks.  The controller is a B120i
[22:41] <fluitfries> CodeRat, i'm testing it now, and it is indeed happening with html5 video
[22:41] <tinkster> How do I make Ubuntu use the RAID as what it is?
[22:42] <blackness> i cant get the splash screen from the ubuntu text style to use a plymouth animated style, does any one have a guide on how to switch?
[22:42] <CodeRat> fluitfries truth be told I am so happy that flash has crashed and burned!
[22:42] <CodeRat> fluitfries not for you that is. The big fat stinky blob flash
[22:42] <fluitfries> CodeRat, yea, i dislike flash too.
[22:43] <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?
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <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"
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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.
[22:48] <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.
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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] <lhavelund> !ot | Just remember everyone
[22:50] <bkc_> x__: have fun waiting for that to happen ;)
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <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
[22:53] <Slart> babyswizz: yes, I think you have to close the vm to change settings
[22:54] <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 ?
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <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] <roger__> i better get me one of them 8 core fx before amd buckles under though lol, while they still cheap
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <CodeRat> I do want AMD to come back into the picture. Never good when just one player does not have competition.
[22:58] <CodeRat> sry ikonia
[22:58] <ikonia> guys, please.
[22:58] <cosmo> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu alongside windows. I'm using a pendrive made with the linux pendrive tool, the installation stalls at a point where it tries to mount the cd drive and fails. I know I have the correct version of Ubuntu and checked it's md5 thing
[22:58] <CodeRat> yeah yeah said sry
[22:58] <aali83> my session is not working properly and i would like to delete it and create a new one, can someone help pl
[23:03] <gauche> How do I set up my computer so it uses KDE instead of Unity?
[23:03] <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?
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> gauche: install kde, log off then log into the KDE session
[23:04] <HonestAbe> is there a nexus 7 specific ubuntu room?
[23:05] <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] <HonestAbe> *channel
[23:05] <Slart> CalvinnHobbes: I'm using nfs myself for my home server and it's been doing fine so far
[23:05] <CalvinnHobbes> Slart, such as what?
[23:06] <CalvinnHobbes> I set it up following the basic guide on NFS
[23:06] <CalvinnHobbes> lemme see if I can find what I used
[23:06] <CalvinnHobbes> this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo with the "Quick Start"
[23:06] <Slart> CalvinnHobbes: what actually happens when it messes up? you can't write to the network share? or files get written but with the wrong owner? some other weirdness?
[23:08] <Slart> CalvinnHobbes: that kind of looks like what I did.. although it's been a while since I set it up
[23:08] <CalvinnHobbes> often I can't write, sometimes wrong owner "dailup" is used
[23:09] <CalvinnHobbes> *dial
[23:10] <Slart> CalvinnHobbes: you might want to throw some of those configuration files up on a pastebin (perhaps edit some usernames and other things you don't want the world to see) and include the link to that pastebin.. some kind of example of logs from when you get errors might be useful as well
[23:11] <Slart> !pastebin | CalvinnHobbes
[23:11] <AlinMarincu> Hello
[23:11] <CodeRat> ello
[23:12] <SolarisBoy> ehlo
[23:12] <Slart> CalvinnHobbes: I can't really say I know a lot about nfs but I'm sure there are clever people in the channel that can help you
[23:12] <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: =)
[23:13] <AlinMarincu> I've followed so many youtube tutorial but I didn't manage to solve this problem
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> AlinMarincu: what wifi chip?
[23:14] <CodeRat> AlinMarincu is a USB wifi dongle. One built into your mobo? A card?
[23:15] <AlinMarincu> ActionParsnip: RTL8187SE
[23:16] <AlinMarincu> no CodeRat
[23:16] <CodeRat> AlinMarincu Is it a Alfa?
[23:17] <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
[23:19] <AlinMarincu> yeah it is
[23:19] <AlinMarincu> the last row shows it
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> AlinMarincu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> AlinMarincu: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[23:20] <AlinMarincu> thanks ActionParsnip. gonna try right now
[23:21] <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?
[23:22] <AlinMarincu> it shows nothing, invalid command
[23:22] <georgeph> right now i am just trying get opgl2 working as cheap as i can
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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!
[23:27] <georgeph> but right now the price is a little prohibitive to goof around with
[23:27] <AlinMarincu> sec. trying to find a way to paste text from a computer to another
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <M13> is edubuntu ok too?
[23:28] <dr_willis> !edubuntu
[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
[23:29] <M13> I WAS running lubuntu 12.10
[23:29] <blackshirt> m13, greats, you can learn a lot of with it
[23:29] <M13> so many bugs
[23:29] <M13> lubuntu is horrible
[23:29] <M13> 10.04 is not
[23:29] <blackshirt> m13, its no matter, lubuntu or ubuntu
[23:29] <AlinMarincu> 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8199] (rev 22)
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> M13: its light and fast
[23:29] <Ben64> I usually suggest keeping with the LTS releases, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 etc
[23:30] <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???
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> M13: sure, install gnome-panel and log out then log in to the new session
[23:31] <AlinMarincu> ActionParsnip: from uname -a  Linux ghem-U-100 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

[23:31] <fluitfries> can i uninstall a deb package without the original installer file?
[23:31] <M13> ok thnx

[23:32] <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?
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <fluitfries> blackshirt, ok, i'll try to remove 4.1 with apt, thank you
[23:35] <blackshirt> fluitfries, you should do it carefully when you using third party repository
[23:36] <AlinMarincu> gonna explore, its my first time on ubuntu. it's pretty different from windows
[23:36] <bkc_> AlinMarincu: way to go! \o/
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> AlinMarincu: indeed :), you will learn as you use the OS :)
[23:38] <thanigaivel> mp3 sound crash some times what can i do?
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> thanigaivel: have you tried different players?
[23:39] <thanigaivel> ActionParsnip: yes now using clementine
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> thanigaivel: does playback just stop suddenly?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> thanigaivel: try:    killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*       wait 10 seconds then reboot.
[23:41] <XiaolinDraconis> booted live distro archbang, installed but skipped bootloader step, rebooted into buntu, mounted arch partitions, ran commands os-prober and update-grub, rebooted and no arch. did i miss a step?
[23:41] <thanigaivel> ActionParsnip: sound disappear slowly. like robot voice.
[23:41] <babyswizz> slart, thanks it worked but i wasnt able to install pavucontroll, i got an error saying the software is unavialable, but is reffered to by another program and that this may mean the package is obsoleted, missing or is only avialable from another source
[23:41] <AlinMarincu> yeah
[23:41] <AlinMarincu> thanks for everything guys!
[23:41] <AlinMarincu> have a great night
[23:41] <Deivid> noapte faina
[23:42] <AlinMarincu> la fel :P
[23:43] <XiaolinDraconis> i  think maybe i was sposed to run update-grub and then update-initramfs maybe?
[23:44] <GeorgeTorwell> Is anyone else having major fuckups with xorg/WM on ubuntu 12.10?
[23:45] <MIH1406> Hi, I am back after a class. I have Ubuntu 12.10 that stops on a console asking for a login information but it will never reach the GUI system (GNOME3 or Unity)

[23:46] <Sach> Need help installing the Adaptive Contrast Enhancement in Gimp 2.6.11, OS Ubuntu 11.04.  Anyone?
[23:47] <noiro> Anyone have any experience with Eclipse on Ubuntu?
[23:47] <stealthii> Hi there.  Has anyone had difficulty installing with btrfs as root filesystem on 12.10?
[23:48] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> Sach: Natty is EOL and no longer supported in any way
[23:50] <Sach> ActionParsnip: Thanks. So is 11.10 stable?
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Sach: yes, as is 12.04 and 12.10
[23:51] <Deivid> not quite sure that 12.10 is stable
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> Sach: 12.04 is LTS so supported til 2017. 12.10 has the latest features but has a shorter life (18 months)
[23:51] <Deivid> let's say "semi stable" :)
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> Deivid: officially it is stable
[23:51] <Deivid> yes
[23:51] <Deivid> then let's say not mature enough
[23:51] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i believe the term is "final" not stable...
[23:52] <Deivid> just switched nack to 12.04
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> !quantal
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: yourwitness :)
[23:52] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: ummm, my bad.
