| javatexan | hey guys and gals, is there a way to wait to mount shares automatically after one of the network interfaces "goes live". It takes between 5-15 minutes for that interface to be happy before I can mount anything. If I knew bash or python, I guess I could poll the interface until it is happy then mount….grrrrrr | 03:52 |
| javatexan | is there a "standard way" to do this? | 03:56 |
| escott | javatexan, "live" is a poorly supported notion unfortunately | 04:13 |
| escott | javatexan, you could hook into the network event in upstart | 04:13 |
| escott | but thats no guarantee that there will be routes anywhere | 04:13 |
| javatexan | gotcha, I will try a couple of things based on that | 04:14 |

| preil65 | I have a couple older PCs that don't handle Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity too well and I want to use the Hybryd di.stro on them to see if they'll work on my LAN. I have a couple questions regarding the installation. Am I in the right place?on | 15:27 |
| hotsauce1 | hi :) | 17:23 |
| hotsauce1 | how can I see my hardware with ubuntu 12.10? | 17:27 |
| hotsauce1 | something similar to piriform's speccy | 17:28 |
| hotsauce1 | or...Windows device manager (im just looking for the graphics card and driver version ) | 17:28 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i use lspci or lsusb | 17:54 |
| holstein | !info lspci | 17:54 |
| ubot2 | 'maverick' is not a valid distribution: | 17:54 |
| holstein | !lspci | 17:54 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'lspci' not found | 17:54 |
| holstein | lol | 17:54 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: open a terminal and run lspci | 17:54 |
| hotsauce1 | ok holstein | 18:00 |
| hotsauce1 | first though...how do i open a terminal? dash home or system settings won't do it? | 18:01 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: there is an application called "terminal | 18:01 |
| holstein | however you launch and find apps.. just find and launch it... or | 18:01 |
| holstein | !tty | hotsauce1 | 18:01 |
| ubot2 | hotsauce1: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 18:01 |
| hotsauce1 | wow! hahahaha | 18:18 |
| hotsauce1 | got stuck in the terminal and couldn't get out...rebooted...then forgot how to get back into IRC...I am more of a beginner than I thought :P | 18:19 |
| hotsauce1 | is there a way to ensure my IRC program (chatzilla) boots up everytime my PC does? | 18:20 |
| holstein | !tty | 18:20 |
| ubot2 | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 18:20 |
| holstein | Alt+F7 will get you back | 18:20 |
| hotsauce1 | sweet | 18:21 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i would add whatever you want to the autostart | 18:21 |
| hotsauce1 | trying...just wondering where firefox is stored on ubuntu LTS | 18:21 |
| holstein | stored? | 18:22 |
| hotsauce1 | anyways...so the command for system specs was? | 18:22 |
| hotsauce1 | startup applications -> add -> browse | 18:22 |
| hotsauce1 | ^^ is best way to ensure applications auto boot upon PC power on? | 18:22 |
| holstein | /usr/bin is where they are "stored", but i dont think that what you are looking for | 18:23 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i use kupfer | 18:23 |
| holstein | !kupfer | 18:23 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'kupfer' not found | 18:23 |
| holstein | !info kupfer | 18:23 |
| ubot2 | 'maverick' is not a valid distribution: | 18:23 |
| holstein | our bot needs attention... | 18:23 |
| hotsauce1 | !info !info | 18:23 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: kupfer and gnome-do are in the repos and quite popular | 18:23 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i dont like things "auto booting" on startup | 18:24 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: the way is to add them to the startup applications list | 18:24 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: could be called "sessions" in the menu | 18:24 |
| hotsauce1 | so add kupfer to startup, then add chatzilla or whatever to kupfer? | 18:24 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: you just use kupfer.. you dont need to add it | 18:25 |
| hotsauce1 | repo=repository right? | 18:25 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: lets relax and take a step back,.. one question at a time | 18:25 |
| hotsauce1 | :) | 18:25 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: a repo is a repository.. meaning its easily available.. you just search *any* package manager and install in | 18:25 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install kupfer.. or search synaptic or the software center | 18:26 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: if you want to auto start an application (not auto boot) the name of the program you are looking for is "Startup Applications" | 18:27 |
| holstein | you launch "startup applications" and add what you like there | 18:27 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i test the launch commands in the terminal.. | 18:27 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i suggested gnome-do or kupfer because i was assuming you might just be having a hard time finding applications | 18:28 |
| hotsauce1 | i am going to check out kupfer, it sounds like it could be extremely useful to become familiar with. | 18:28 |
| hotsauce1 | so my question is how do i find "chatzilla" in the startup applications "add" function? you said chatzilla isnt really stored anywhere...I guess I need a command that starts running firefox add-ons? | 18:28 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i would just add chatzilla, if that is an app..i thought it was a plugin for firefox? | 18:29 |
| hotsauce1 | !info package manager | 18:29 |
| ubot2 | 'manager' is not a valid distribution: | 18:29 |
| hotsauce1 | it is a plugin for firefox | 18:30 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i said, applications are stored in /use/bin, i didnt say applicaions are not stored anywhere.. i said that is likely not what you are looking for | 18:30 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: then, you would look at firefox.. and maybe set it up in a tab.. or as the home page | 18:30 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i think http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/how-to-install-ubuntus-new-web-apps-feature is also an option, though i have not tested it | 18:31 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: its a matter of potentially adding a 'webapp'. since chatzilla is not a local application, its a plugin to firefox | 18:32 |
| hotsauce1 | i see | 18:33 |
| hotsauce1 | "webapp" is pointing me in the right direction | 18:33 |
| hotsauce1 | thanks for the vocab :) | 18:33 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: it would be the equvilent of saying 'i want the application ebay to automatically startup when i bootup'... the answer is, ebay is not an application, but you can make a webapp, or a shortcut | 18:33 |
| holstein | sometimes its a matter of knowing the terms to search for | 18:33 |
| hotsauce1 | what is the command for system specs in the terminal? I lost it since I had 2 reboot | 18:35 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: lspci is what i use | 18:36 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: you can try installing hardinfo | 18:38 |
| hotsauce1 | this might not mean anything...but "What is lspci?" | 18:39 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: its a list hardware command | 18:39 |
| holstein | lsusb for usb | 18:39 |
| holstein | try that GUI i listed | 18:40 |
| geirha | it lists all components connected to the pci bus | 18:40 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install hardinfo | 18:40 |
| hotsauce1 | is there a way to minimize a terminal (shrink the window?) | 18:42 |
| geirha | the (-) in the top left corner | 18:43 |
| hotsauce1 | i see nothing | 18:45 |
| hotsauce1 | top left corner is black...everything is black in my terminal (ctrl alt f1)...and no mouse cursor | 18:45 |
| hotsauce1 | is terminal the right word for...command line? | 18:45 |
| hotsauce1 | command line "window" = terminal?? | 18:46 |
| geirha | oh, you're in a virtual console? | 18:48 |
| geirha | ctrl+alt+f7 should get you back to X | 18:48 |
| hotsauce1 | ah so no way to minimize a virtual console and move it around in the same way I move around firefox tabs? | 18:49 |
| hotsauce1 | btw ("Your search query "kupfer" didn't return any results. Please change some terms and refer to HelpOnSearching for more information." from ubuntu-wiki) kind of made me laugh :P | 18:51 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: are you asking for someone here to change something? | 18:52 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: i would search for kupfer in the package manager of your choice, or just search google to learn more about it and see if you'd like to use it | 18:53 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: sudo apt-get install kupfer | 18:53 |
| hotsauce1 | ahh i see | 18:53 |
| hotsauce1 | is "sudo apt-get update" relevent after my fresh install? | 18:53 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: you can tap the super key and type "terminal" | 18:53 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: then, you'll have a resizable terminal window | 18:54 |
| hotsauce1 | what is the super key? i am on a dell laptop...Im not sure what you mean | 18:55 |
| geirha | or hit Ctrl+Alt+T unless you've bound that to some other action | 18:56 |
| geirha | the key that typically has a windows logo on it | 18:56 |
| geirha | between ctrl and alt | 18:56 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: the windows key.. it brings up the main menu.. the dash? | 18:56 |
| hotsauce1 | neither work to resize my virtual console | 18:56 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: correct | 18:56 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: that will not do anything to the vitrual console | 18:56 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: this will allow you to open "terminal".. a terminal applicatoin that you can resize | 18:57 |
| hotsauce1 | o cool | 18:57 |
| hotsauce1 | ctrl alt t :) | 18:57 |
| hotsauce1 | how can i find out how much RAM my system has? I am in ubuntu 12.04 | 19:27 |
| holstein | hotsauce1: top.. free -m ...the bios.. that gui system tool i linked earlier.. sudo apt-get hardinfo | 19:28 |
| hotsauce1 | ill get hardinfo, thanks :) | 19:28 |
