[00:00] Good morning [00:00] its not in my top right where the clock it [00:00] is [00:00] chris_33: You can use ps or top. Also htop is nice (You'll have to install it) [00:00] chris_33, some likes process explorer ? [00:00] ActionParsnip: michealPW actually the audio while watching a Youtube video is okay, however playing a video from my HD sounds garbled :-( [00:00] chris_33: Oh, wait.. bottom right :P [00:00] michealpw: thank you [00:00] Like, push your cursor to bottom-right all the way [00:01] it's the trash can [00:01] bottom left [00:01] then work space then xchat [00:01] It should unhide a black bar. Skype might be down there. I know what you're saying now :P [00:01] hmm.. i don't see a black bar [00:01] Nah I mean, like press Esc to close the hud/action menu if it's open and push your mouse to your bottom-right corner of your screen all the way [00:02] Maybe I'm thinking of gnome 3haha [00:02] Don't listen to me I'm an idiot (blushes) [00:02] lol yea cause it's not working here [00:02] how else can i get to skype? it's saying its running [00:03] I tried launching it again, but it said it cant cause it's already running. I can't get to it [00:03] Wait, uhh, on Unity if you open something it should always stay on your unity launcher [00:03] Try right-clicking on it's icon? [00:03] Iunno. I'm not good with Unity LOL [00:04] yea i tried that. it's only letting me uninstall [00:04] Oh weird === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:04] i don't know why it's not in a task bar like in windows [00:04] I wonder if that has to do with the weird indicator-panel thing that Unity uses? Iunno. Let me try a couple Google searches for you and see what I turn up :P [00:04] ok, thank you [00:05] Hey, found it : http://askubuntu.com/questions/74229/how-to-access-skype-in-unity#74951 [00:05] Apparently it's a common problem. That link brigns you to a comment with a solution, though :P [00:05] Well, once you get Skype up anways haha [00:05] it's through wine ? [00:06] No [00:06] native .deb ? [00:06] It's just 'cause Skype wants to mimize to a taskbar and Unity uses a new indicator thingy which maybe Skype doesn't support.. So when you minimize/close Skype, it hides itself in a taskbar (Which doesn't exist in Unity) [00:07] too much fragmentation.... [00:07] ^ This, amen... [00:07] But Canonical doesn't agree so our opinions are moot :P [00:07] haha [00:08] There's a solution, though.. You just change the way Skype behaves, so it never tries to hide in a taskbar anymore :P [00:08] Which is kind of a brutish workaround but it will at least get you up and Skyping again :P [00:08] :) [00:09] Unity makes me feel like a newbie, honestly. I can't tell you how many times I had something minimized and was looking around for it, LOL [00:09] how can i make ubuntu run faster on my eee pc 901 netbook? [00:09] pure debian, is pure debian... [00:09] michealPW: who says you have to use Unity? [00:09] Debian 6.0.5 was great, but man it only had Wine 1.0... LOL wth? [00:10] michealPW: if you use LXDE, there is no issue:) [00:10] ActionParsnip: Meh I don't like LXDE or XFCE. I use GNOME 3 personally :P [00:10] no wine here....no windows dll's [00:10] nice, thank you [00:10] It has a taskbar it just auto-hides :P [00:11] hehe silindean. Ubuntu and Fedora you just apt-get install and get the latest Wine. Also PlayOnLinux fully updated and just works :P [00:11] no, it's not working! [00:11] rats........ [00:11] My mistake was probably going with Squeeze. I should have went with the Testing debian but meh. The frontpage recommended Squeeze haha [00:11] chris_33: Sorry, mate. Hrmm! [00:11] skype is still hiden :( [00:11] :) [00:12] can we use oovoo on linux? [00:12] I'm running lubuntu on a laptop, and cannot get my touchpad to work. The mouse function, and both buttons work fine I just can't get the mouse clicks with the touchpad to work. [00:12] chris_33: Did you do this? gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist [00:12] no where do i put this? [00:12] just wait for the html5 version of skype :P [00:13] Add skype to your whitelist, so it looks like this in a terminal: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Skype', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Wine']" [00:13] LOL silindean. html5 is where it's at (muscle) [00:13] how can i make ubuntu run faster on my eee pc 901 netbook? [00:13] wine? [00:14] yea ubuntu is slow on my notebook too [00:14] try puppy linux [00:14] i thought linux was faster than windows 7 [00:14] try xubuntu [00:14] ethanr: install Lubuntu and use that [00:14] or that [00:14] options, options, options.... [00:15] hi [00:15] for newbies , these options make them quit [00:15] xubuntu is a lazy version downgraded version of ubuntu isnt it? [00:15] silindean: maybe tey should look at themselves [00:15] I really like the elegance of Unity, is there any way to optimize my system for it? [00:15] chris_33: not at all [00:15] oh.. [00:16] chris_33: Xubuntu uses XFCE instead of Unity. Lubuntu uses LXDE. [00:16] chris_33: its just ubuntu with a different default set of apps [00:16] which one is best for someone that JUST came from windows like 5 hours ago? [00:16] chris_33: They're lightweight alternatives to Unity, GNOME and KDE for machiens that do not have rippin' powerful GPUs and gigabytes of ram.. [00:16] I haven't tried lubuntu, but I have tried xubuntu. it's definetely faster, but just not as elegant. [00:16] i want word, picture editor and fast [00:16] something stable and fast and i go to college, so i need word processing and photo editing. [00:17] chris_33: I'd say Kubuntu as has a button the the bottom left for apps [00:17] I have a cheap notebook :( [00:17] chris_33: I would say probably Lubuntu or Xubuntu. [00:17] chris_33: for low resources, Lubuntu all the way [00:17] chris_33: KDE is also great, however if you have sluggish performance with Ubuntu Kubuntu will be no improvement. [00:18] In fact, Kubuntu is more sluggish in many areas than Unity or Gnome.. [00:18] So Lubuntu for sure guys? [00:18] chris_33: I would [00:18] I trust you all. :) [00:18] chris_33: Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yup :p [00:18] what is their webpage? i'll download it now. [00:18] hiho [00:18] i've just installied lubuntu! yai! [00:18] ;-) [00:18] Lubuntu is even more lighter than Xubuntu. If you want the maximum performance Lubuntu is where it's at, I think :P [00:18] Cyd you like it? [00:18] www.microsoftstore.com there you go :P [00:18] I'm not an expert, though :P [00:19] sure [00:19] Oh god silindean [00:19] LOL [00:19] www.microsoft.com ? hmm.. [00:19] so did nVidia took the bumblebee project ? [00:19] it's faster then ubunto [00:19] !lubuntu | chris_33 [00:19] chris_33: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [00:19] i hated the new user interface [00:19] on ubuntu [00:19] what they call it again? [00:19] unity [00:19] yeah [00:19] cyd where do i download it? [00:19] lubuntu.org [00:19] i luv tits [00:19] or something [00:19] cyd: where do i download the lubuntu for my cheap slow notebook ? [00:20] OMG Word is $180?!?! [00:20] How do i install mediawiki on ubuntu? [00:20] That's flippin' mad, man! [00:20] cyd: run: free -m | head -n 3 | tail -n 1 | awk {'print $3'} to see your used RAM :) [00:20] michealpw: linux it's free. linux RULZ [00:20] ah it's http://lubuntu.net/ [00:20] ok [00:20] @actionparsnip i give it try [00:20] yea, $180 [00:20] cyd: I bet its quite low :) [00:20] hruejiwo: 'sudo apt-get install mediawiki' [00:21] yeats: it's deprecated. [00:21] it's a old version [00:21] !info mediawiki [00:21] mediawiki (source: mediawiki): website engine for collaborative work. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.19.1-1 (quantal), package size 16499 kB, installed size 63908 kB [00:21] Windows 8 pro is ~$80, wow that has to be the cheapest Windows I've ever seen before... [00:21] BUT is lubuntu still supported, updated and current, or is it old and no one is working on it anymore, extinct? [00:21] The system requirements for Windows 8 reads like a video game :\ [00:21] the upgrade version [00:21] chris_33: yes but 12.04 isn't LTS [00:22] yes, it is [00:22] NO 80.00 for an UPGRADE from windows 7. not ONLY 80 bucks [00:22] lol... yes it is [00:22] @ActionParsnip it's 1221 [00:22] hruejiwo: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu [00:22] mb [00:22] chris_33: Yea, Lubuntu is fully supported. It's the same system, only using Lxde instead of Gnome/Unity. [00:22] ty yeats [00:22] oh, ok. Thank you. I didn't want to download something outdated and not supported anymore [00:22] I love ubuntu :) [00:22] michaelPW: It didn't work. I installed the gnome-desktop session, then I reinstalled gnome-shell. Then I installed the tweak tool, which sucks. Do you know how to get the auto-snapping windows and all the goodness that the gnome youtube channel highlights? [00:22] chris_33: Wow that's dirty, I thought it was a full OS.. Just an upgrade whoa, who would pay for an upgrade disk? What if the system had problems down the road, wouldn't you need to install Win7, then upgrade all overagain?! [00:22] :\ [00:23] chris_33: 12.10 is fantastic too though, that is what I use now. It's pretty easy to upgrade versions of ubuntu if need be [00:23] but eclipse/android dv open, xchat, putty, chromium are open [00:23] cyd: wow you must have a lot open [00:23] cyd: still, for those apps open, not bad [00:23] cyd: why putty? [00:23] hmm and pidgin too [00:23] ssh [00:23] wjtaylor: Yea those are all gnome-shell-extension- packages I think. Try installing gnome-shell-extension-common or something like that. Better yet do apt-cache search gnome-shell [00:23] i'm connected to a webserver [00:24] You'll find a tonne of useful things. Then use gnome-tweak-tool to enable the extensions, including the Window things [00:24] cyd: you can ssh using terminal..... [00:24] Lemme look, hehe [00:24] odd-on for terminal ? [00:24] i need putty for key-auth [00:24] add* [00:25] i didn't check wether the normal terminal support rsa-key-auth [00:25] so i use putty out of the box ;-) [00:25] Greetings. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 and I'm trying to install the VMware View client provided here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCRT_LINUX_160&productId=266&rPId=3045 It launches the software center, but says it can not find the package. Any ideas? [00:25] cyd: it does [00:25] lubuntu i'm donwloading it right now. 12.10 [00:25] ok nice to know ;-) [00:26] i'm switching from windows ya know... [00:26] Wait I'm not sure I understand the question, wjtaylor.. [00:26] @chris_33 yeah give it a try... install process is pretty fast [00:26] What exactly are you looking for, hehe? [00:26] iim excited! [00:26] I think my windows would snap-together automatically, hehe? I can show you a screenshot of my gnome-tweak-tool -> Shell Extensions if you want? :\ [00:27] chris_33: Honestly you can also just do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [00:27] I installed Ubuntu LTS then did sudo apt-get install kubuntu edubuntu [00:27] @chris_33 are you already on ubuntu? [00:27] 'cause I like KDE and I wanted all the educational programs/games for my kids. Now when I log-in, we can pick whatever desktop environment we want. [00:28] nice [00:28] how many kids do you have? [00:28] michaelPM: I still have a gnome session that looks almost like gnome 2. It's just the menus are set up differently. I'm looking for all the cool features (auto docking windows, expanding workspaces, etc. advertised by gnome 3) [00:28] i crashed my ubuntu hd recently [00:28] KDE, Gnome, Unity etc. The same is true if you just sudo apt-get install lubuntu, you'd simply select "lxde" as your desktop environment instead of KDE. [00:28] silindean: Two. 3 and 6 years old ;) [00:28] :) [00:29] cyd: yes [00:29] wjtaylor: Ahh, so when you start Ubuntu at the log-in screen, you click the Icon beside your name to expand a context menu which should have "GNOME", "Gnome Classic", "Gnome Classic 2d", etc... Select "Gnome" [00:29] @michealPW do they already want iphones? [00:29] That's Gnome 3. [00:29] ahahaha [00:29] cyd: but everyone is saying lubuntu is much much much much faster [00:29] cyd: haha, nope, they're pre-occupied with supertux! :) [00:29] My sound control indicator doesn't work anymore :/ - It's still there, but doesn't work. [00:30] chris_33: He doesn't mean that Lubuntu crashed his hd. All the Ubuntu's use the same kernel, which is waht would be in control of your disk (Not lxde hehe) [00:30] I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 and I'm trying to install the VMware View client provided here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCRT_LINUX_160&productId=266&rPId=3045 It launches the software center, but says it can not find the package. Any ideas? [00:30] cyd: I want my computer to be as fast as the new power machines out there. I have a g60 HP which is about 2 years old [00:30] @chris_33 yes it is! you might just try an upgrade from your current ubuntu per command shell [00:30] From the same version, of course (Lubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.04 etc. all use kernel v3.2 of some sort.) [00:31] i went to the lubuntu internet webpage and am downloading the 12.10 lubuntu. Am i doing it right? [00:31] let's help the vmware guy [00:31] cyd: i went to the lubuntu internet webpage and am downloading the 12.10 lubuntu. Am i doing it right? [00:31] na i trashed my last ubuntu install by upgrading to the new version without enough hd-space [00:32] chris_33: sure if you want to fresh install. Or you can install lxde on Ubuntu and it'll be the same except the theme [00:32] chris_33: Both are fine. With the disk image you're downloading, you'll lose your current Ubuntu system I think. From a terminal you can add lxde to your current system. [00:32] michaelPW: nope. I get a gnome session that is very boring. It look like the gnome classic session. [00:32] fishscene vmware player ? [00:32] @chris_33 try this command "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" without the " in your console [00:33] wjtaylor: Ah, hrmm.. I'm wondering if maybe it's hitting a problem and doing a fallback session? I'm not sure mate. Pretty sure all I did was sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop hah I can't remember anymore. [00:33] silindean: Not quite. It's kind of like RDC, but specifically for the VMware "view" method of accessing virtual machines remotely [00:33] Maybe I got it from gnome.org's repo, let me check my sources [00:33] I want to burn it on cd [00:34] michaelPW: does your session have the autodocking, etc..?? [00:34] @chris_33 just type in your unity search "terminal", start it and type in sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [00:34] im confused. what is better? installing it with the sudo apt get or just downloading the ISO and burning it to disk then reinstalling a fresh copy????? [00:34] What's autodocking? [00:34] install from terminal [00:34] no need to reconfigure all your stuff [00:34] chris_33: neither is outright better [00:34] fishscene: maybe VMware View Client for Linux is for 12.04 LTS... ? [00:34] you managed to get in here... [00:34] actionparsnip: ok [00:35] so if you do a clean install you have to configure all the up again ;-) [00:35] I have 2 network adapters setup in my VM running ubuntu server 12.10 and on startup the default gateway is only setup in routes for eth0, but I need it also for eth1. How can I configure it to setup both? [00:35] Ohhhh wjtaylor my bad, I actually added the gnome PPA and installed from Gnome3-team.. [00:35] Let me find that page, brb [00:35] That's right, too... I had nothing but problems with Gnome from Ubuntu's repos. [00:35] cyd: ok i'll do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [00:35] I had to install from gnome.org [00:35] if you want ONLY lubuntu from the start then just use the iso, If you want ubuntu+ lubuntu, it dosent really matter [00:36] chris_33: installing lubuntu-desktop will install lxde etc and you will use more space and you will have a few duplicated apps. Clean installing Lubuntu will give a fresh installl of Lubuntu with minimal apps and minimal HDD use but you will need to remove the stuff you have installed now [00:36] actionparsnip: ok thank you for the heads up. fresh install would be better then. [00:36] chris_33: neither is better than the other, both are just as good as each other [00:36] silindean: Maybe. But I didn't find any kind of restrictions or anything mentioned. Just "Ubuntu? Download here!" type thing. [00:36] eth1 is bridged so I can access the internet, eth0 is Host-only adapter. I can try and switch them (having eth0 as bridged and eth1 as host-only), but I'm sure there's a way to do it without having to do that? === Youri is now known as YBook [00:36] wjtaylor: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome [00:36] wjtaylor: Go to that link, it should get you started :P [00:36] @chris_33 you can clean up duplicates later [00:37] I'm having an issue with sound. [00:37] @chris_33 your package manager should identify them [00:37] My newer sound card doesn't seem to want to output sound, even though it's recognized by the OS. [00:37] will i have to reblack list my wifi drivers? [00:37] michaelPW: check this out. autodocking is at 2:00. Does your session do all this? [00:37] I missed the link [00:37] cyd: i really apreciate yoru help. [00:38] michaelPW: yeah, that would help. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSGfS6K7pI0 [00:38] fishscene: yea, no restrictions, but the release date (2012-09-28) is before 12.10 was out.... [00:38] hehe kk let me check it out [00:38] I apreciate everyones help. I was scared my computer could not handle linux or something because it's soooo slow. Windows is faster, but i know linux should be faster [00:39] @chris_33 unity was designed with modern hardware in mind... [00:39] unity is the theme / gui right? [00:39] I sent you private message wjtaylor. [00:39] @chris_33 it's a shame they don't change the requirements [00:39] yeah [00:39] k [00:40] lxde is more like windows in the user experience [00:40] lxde? [00:40] yeah [00:40] lubuntu ^ [00:40] that's the same as unity ? [00:40] !lubuntu [00:40] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [00:40] the gui you are about to use [00:41] it's nicer than the default ubuntu one i'm using right now ? [00:41] gui = grapchical user interface [00:41] maybe not [00:41] Ohhhh wjtaylor, I seen autodock yes this feature is in Gnome 3 for me haha [00:41] its lighter then unity [00:41] it's like windows [00:41] oh cool [00:41] Did you get that private message I sent you? It's just a link, here: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome [00:41] Its more like the old windows 95 layout [00:41] yea i'm use to windows since 3.1 [00:41] yes [00:41] windows 95 style [00:41] 95? lol wow old days. [00:41] as long as it's not dos. [00:42] :)) [00:42] yeah what i'm missing is the snap feature of windows 7 [00:42] dr_willis: i wouldn't say so [00:42] you pushing windows into the corner and to the side so they snap to them [00:42] can i upgrade lxde with this feature? [00:43] my grandma has her old computer which had windows 3.1 (4 boxes on the screen). My uncle put on linux and now it's faster than my g60 HP notebook which is only 2 years old. [00:43] cyd: in unity does this exist, i think [00:43] hehe [00:43] cyd: that would have to be somehow added to openbox. or some other window manager. [00:43] yeah right openbox is the window manager. let check google on that [00:43] the feature is in Unity with compiz and in Gnome-shell (whioch uses mutter) [00:43] Ive not noticed the feature in any othe window managers === fishscene is now known as Guest60732 [00:44] @dr_willis ok i'll check of compiz for lxde [00:44] OMG 30 min till it's downloaded. Another 30 min to burn it to cd and install it. I'm excited !!!! [00:44] hope my computer will be much faster [00:44] install minix3 :P [00:45] cyd: that sort of defeats the lightness of lxde ;) [00:45] @dr_willis yeah compiz is pretty heavy [00:45] and just for gnome 2 ? [00:45] but i only want this only feature [00:45] :( [00:45] does lubuntu have all the default drivers for my wifi notebook card, my webcam and that? [00:46] yes [00:46] oh phew [00:46] chris_33: all the *buntus use the same underlaying core [00:46] it's the same code base as ubuntu [00:46] oh good ok [00:46] only the gui is different [00:46] I do think Lubuntu uses a differnt default kernel then ubuntu. but it shouldent matter driverwise [00:46] one of the reasons i chose the lubuntu distro [00:46] how does the gui make such a big difference in the speed of your computer? [00:46] i belive lubuntu uses the non-pae kernel by default [00:46] i mean ubuntu to lubuntu ? [00:47] chris_33: when the gui is the most memory/gpu intendve part of the OS. it matters. [00:47] oh, ok [00:47] :) [00:47] unity uses a lot of graphic resources to display it's nice interface [00:47] cyd, more light [00:47] dr_willis: in 12.04 yes [00:47] dr_willis: in 12.10, its pae in lubuntu [00:48] so with lubuntu i shoulnt have a problem with the "hiding skype" bug that's going around? [00:48] right now skype is running on my system, but i cant open it unless i log off and log on and run it again [00:48] chris_33: should befine === jimerickson is now known as Guest87293 === william is now known as Guest69108 [00:48] excelent :0 [00:49] skype is proberly using more resources then the lubuntu desktop is. ;) [00:49] :)) [00:49] really? [00:49] hahahaha [00:49] wow [00:49] probs [00:49] :) [00:50] i think firefox too @ dr_willis :) [00:50] id almost guarentee that FF or any other browsers would be using more resoruces under normal ussage then the Lubuntu desktop gui would be using. ;) [00:51] If i play a first person shooter which is a windows game like "black hawk down" or "counter strike" or "battle field" will it run faster in wine than on windows? [00:51] no [00:51] no? [00:51] Unity+ff here watching a video - seems i got about 4gb in use. well 2 are cache.. :) so about 2 GB in use by the desktop + gui [00:51] windows is faster than linux when it comes to playing first person shooter windows games? [00:52] yes [00:52] cyd: who yes ? [00:52] because they where designed for directx not opengl [00:52] chris_33: check the appdb [00:52] linux only offers open gl [00:52] chris_33: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [00:52] cyd: i'm sure urbanterror on both OSes runs pretty much equally well [00:53] @chris_33 linux only offers open gl as a 3d-interface for programming games [00:53] @chris_33 and most games are programmed to the directx interface of microsoft [00:54] dr_willis 2GB unity ??? [00:54] cyd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE [00:54] @chris_33 directx is much closer to the xna for the xbox360 [00:54] cyd: not played Penumbra either? [00:54] cyd: oh i see. so games are more for windows [00:54] cyd: or doom3? [00:54] which ubuntu consumes less cpu, ram and graphics ? kubuntu or ubuntu ? [00:54] lubuntu [00:54] right [00:54] Haswell: lubuntu [00:54] chris_33: there are linux games, great games [00:54] but the game is changing... steam will be now on linux too [00:54] cyd: did you play those games? [00:54] wow really? nice! [00:55] yea, steam on linux...next phase [00:55] nope [00:55] Haswell: I think Ubuntu, mate. KDE is pretty bulky. They're pretty similar, though. Both Unity/Gnome and KDE are very heavy desktops. [00:55] i've heard of urban terror [00:55] actionparsnip? so your opinion linux can play games faster than windows? [00:55] Haswell: 2 votes for ubuntu [00:55] chris_33: in some cases, yes [00:56] cyd: also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE [00:56] chris_33, but lubuntu will be cut in other benefits, wont it? [00:56] chris_33: It depends on the game in question. Check the appdb. Some games run amazingly fast in Wine, some run horribly sluggish in Wine (WINE is a compatibility layer that allows Windows games/programs to run natively on Linux.) [00:56] @ActionParsnip it all depends on the drivers [00:56] cyd: also depends on the game [00:56] actionparsnip: i see [00:56] thanks michealPW silindean [00:56] Haswell: KDE, in my opinion is verry buggy, compared to Unity [00:56] ok. got it :) [00:56] chris_33: Wine is a work in progress and not all games are engineered the same way, therefore there will be huge variations.. http://appdb.wine.org/ I believe. [00:56] cyd: so a blanket 'Windows is better' is ignorant at best [00:57] I disagree silindean, but I install KDE 4.9.2 from backports, not 4.8.4 which Precise repos offer... [00:57] @ActionParsnip na if you want to play the newest games Windows is still the best their is [00:57] chris_33: check the appdb for compatibility, there are also fantastic native games [00:57] Wine's getting better! [00:57] 4.8.4 was nothing but problems for me. [00:57] michealPW: 4.9.2 maybe [00:58] cyd: humble bundle is always kicking out new games [00:58] Check PlayonLinux if you really don't want to be forced into running Windows [00:58] but games don't matter that much for me anymore [00:58] yeah i've bought the recent package [00:58] @ActionParsnip i've bought the recent package [00:58] hello is it possible to upgrade ubuntu 10.10 with do-release-update ? [00:58] ok im burning the lubuntu to cd then installing it in a minute or two. just finding a blank dvd to burn it on [00:58] at this time [00:59] Indeed, PlayOnLinux is great. Still, though. Wine cannot be used to play all Windows-based games. I still have Win7 on my gaming machine that I dual-boot into to play certain games that just will not work with Wine. [00:59] because i have some 404 http errors [00:59] cyd: so, how new do you want? [00:59] @chris_33 cd is enought [00:59] ok [00:59] Or that will not work well with wine. [00:59] can be this done without reinstalling ? [00:59] @chris_33 or wait try to build a usb stick [00:59] @chris_33 don't waste a cd on it ,-) [00:59] ubs ? ok 1 gig is enough ? [00:59] i have a 1 gig usb key [00:59] @chris_33 you know how to build an usb stick? sure 1gb is enough [01:00] CruX|: Yes but it's not ideal. You would have to dist-upgrade repeatedly, from 10.10 to 11.04, from 11.04 to 11.10, from 11.10 to 12.04, and then from 12.04 to 12.10... [01:00] yup, startup disk creator [01:00] CruX|: So technically yes you can upgrade, but really that's nuts.. LOL. [01:00] ActionParsnip: Heroes of Newerth runs well on mint, almos like on windows [01:00] cyd: I think the humble bundle guys kicked out..what...5 bundles this year, new enough? [01:00] What benefits are cut in lubuntu, comparing with ubuntu? [01:00] Haswell: They're all the same system, just using different desktops. Lubuntu uses LXDE. [01:00] Haswell: less RAM usage [01:00] Hense the "L" ;) [01:01] @ActionParsnip i bought the one with the android games [01:01] michealPW: thx [01:01] Haswell: lighter applications, like abiwrd instead of libreoffice [01:01] cyd: still 'new' aren't they? [01:01] @ActionParsnip humble bundle android 4 [01:01] @ActionParsnip some games are old, some new... [01:02] cyd: so aren't they the latest games? [01:02] @ActionParsnip no [01:02] cyd: sure, they are released this year..... [01:02] been playing Rochard here. ;) [01:02] @ActionParsnip that's not latest... [01:02] You're being silly cyd hehe [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] cyd: released this year isn't latest...interesting [01:03] Games released this year (2012) aren't "new" ? :\ [01:03] nope [01:03] 2012 is how many months old? (giggle) [01:03] michealPW: who knew [01:03] LOL Actions [01:03] :P [01:03] @ActionParsnip new games are coming every month... [01:04] hello [01:04] but it think you are still right... [01:04] but the old ones are still there in the package ? [01:04] Meh iunno. I just play games that are fun [01:04] Some are from the 1990s, haha some are from 2011.. [01:04] :\ [01:04] @ActionParsnip because the latest games are coming out on android and ios... and it's all linux under the hood [01:04] hi everybody [01:05] hi @Bleu [01:05] cyd: ios sure is not :P [01:05] hi, could u help me 1 mn plz ? [01:05] @ActionParsnip so you are right... but the hardcore games are only on windows... maybe xbox or ps3... etc [01:05] cyd: i'm fully aware of android [01:05] cyd: i found a blank cd-rw cd :) [01:05] cyd: 700 mb [01:05] cyd: but games do run and run well in Linux [01:05] just installed 12.10 but doesn't seem to like my oldie SiS videocard. Are there know issues with this or is it just a question of LLVM being too demanding? [01:05] @Bleu just pop the question :P [01:05] @ActionParsnip yeah yeah i believe you [01:06] @josesantos try archlinux instead [01:06] i'm connection in root@dsqlkjdsq.qsdj.Abo.fr [01:06] @josesantos download your own driver... or program it yourself LOL [01:06] i dont know how to change it :) [01:06] josesantos: I'd install a light DE. You may need an xorg.conf file to make it load the driver needed [01:07] someone told me i must chance smthng in my client settings but i didnt find what [01:07] ActionParsnip: I've installed xfce [01:07] ios is objective-c and html5 ;) [01:07] can't get passed a blank screen [01:07] @chris_33 good luck at installing... [01:08] josesantos: you'll need the xorg.conf file :). [01:08] I figured as much. But is the driver available via apt-get? [01:08] @michealPW ios is a derivate of unix... http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_iOS [01:08] @Bleu what distro do you use ? [01:08] @michealPW so ios is similar to linux... [01:09] cyd: you don't need to @at anyone so they can ready you :) i'm getting dizzy @_@ [01:09] bt [01:09] the card is detected fine. Why would X complain? [01:09] I't seemed to work on 12.04, or so I've read [01:09] cyd: UNIX != Linux... [01:09] xangua ok sorry dude ;-) @@ [01:09] @Bleu BackTrack ? [01:09] ^^ (now you'll think i'm a n00b who want to crack a wep) [01:09] yes [01:09] Bleu_: then you should ask in #backtrack-linux [01:09] :) [01:10] josesantos: do you have the headers for the kernel installed? [01:10] michaelPW ok ok sorry [01:10] cyd: Not to mention, a kernel does not make an OS. I don't want to get into a big rant or anything but I mean things like the compiler, the shared libraries and stuff make more of an impact than the kernel. The kernel just exposes functions in hardware. [01:10] almoxarife: not sure. I installed ubuntu server and after xubuntu-desktop [01:11] The shared libraries use these functions to implement routines that programs use to do neat things. All iOS apps are either objective-c using Apple's build-tools and a bunch of objective-c libraries or they're html5 web-apps parsed by WebKit. [01:11] you know stuff , michealPW :) [01:11] josesantos: why not just install Xubuntu? [01:11] what packages to get a good wpa wordlist? [01:11] ActionParsnip, i did it's empty now [01:11] A lot of apple fanbois wont want to admit, but MOST iOS apps are actually web-apps... html5 boys (muscle) [01:11] ActionParsnip: didn't I do that? [01:11] michealPW thx for the correction. i'm still busy digging into my OS-lecture ;-) [01:11] Bleu_: so, doesn't mean you get to ask here [01:12] josesantos: in terminal 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic' assuming they are not there they will install, may help with old cards [01:12] hehe sorry, I didn't mean to sound arrogant or anything (blush) [01:12] backtrack is an ubuntu :) [01:12] Bleu_: backtrack support is entirely separate to ubuntu [01:12] Bleu_: it's not, it backtrack [01:12] I love technology, hehe, I like talking about these things. I'm a web-developer, so android ios and blackberry is big on my radar :) [01:12] almoxarife: thanks [01:12] michealPW i still have this 600+ pages almanach to read through about Operation Systems... ahaha [01:12] Bleu_: similarly, ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here === Bleu_ is now known as Zigouigoui [01:13] android makes me angry [01:13] hehe cyd sounds exciting! :) [01:13] if you have to ask for help with backtrack on ubuntu you are not ready for backtrack [01:13] !ot | michealPW: oldgettingsomewh you can talk more about them in the offtopic ;) [01:13] michealPW: oldgettingsomewh you can talk more about them in the offtopic ;): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:13] Zigouigoui: you aren't using Ubuntu, so you aren't supported here [01:13] Sorry, xangua :\ [01:13] another question, to change runlevel on boot all I need is the number at the end of the linux entry on grub correct? [01:13] androind is linux kernel? [01:13] xangua: hehe in my defense.. We STARTED on-topic :) [01:13] thank you really, sweet guys ;) [01:13] !runlevel [01:13] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:13] It just kinda, well, you know how it goes :) [01:13] josesantos: you can add the word: text [01:14] ah, so runlevel 3 would not work? [01:14] !text | josesantos [01:14] josesantos: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [01:14] Zigouigoui: its how the channel works. NONE of the 'Ubuntu based distros' are supported here, ONLY canonical releases [01:14] josesantos: most likely not. [01:14] Zigouigoui: Backtrack is not a canonical release so isn't supported here [01:14] would text option give me multi user? [01:14] michealPW hmm ok so what ubuntu distro are you using? (to get back to ubuntu, ahahah) [01:14] because right now I'm on runlevel 1 [01:15] oldgettingsomewh: I can answer your question with a question? Linux kernel is the interface for your PC hardware right? Well, what pc hardware is in a cell phone? hehe :) [01:15] josesantos: yes. it just keeps lightdm.whateverdm from starting [01:15] cyd: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS! (muscle) [01:15] every other hangs me on X [01:15] ok cool. I'll be right back then ;) [01:15] If I continue I'll probably get kicked [01:15] hehehe! [01:15] :P [01:16] guys, nice talk... europe here, says good night to all of you :) [01:16] don't mess with the ops... [01:16] LOL [01:16] Does anyone know if there is an X11 support channel? [01:16] ther kernel is an interface to the hardware - the 'pc' term is incorrect. ;) === Bleu is now known as Zigouigoui [01:16] You can buy Arm based Desktop machines. === Zigouigoui is now known as zigouigoui [01:16] haha dr_willis, touche :P === zigouigoui is now known as Zigouigoui [01:16] ARM processors are so powerful these days :\ [01:17] OpenSorce: try #xorg [01:17] anyone know a good ubuntu go to guy to heat up this issue? [01:17] oldgettingsomewh: ask and the channel will reply [01:17] ActionParsnip, yep found it thanks :-) [01:18] Hi back [01:18] i need a good site to learn more about the terminal commands [01:18] like a huge linux wiki [01:19] !manual [01:19] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:19] is their some ubuntu wiki as extensive a arch wiki [01:19] What's the best way to do mesh networking using Ubuntu? [01:20] evbogue: there is no single best way to do anything, in any OS [01:21] ActionParsnip, what an awesome statement, may I quote you? [01:21] What's that best bot thing? [01:22] OpenSorce: sure [01:22] ahh so a bunch of bots is what you want lol?? [01:22] !best [01:22] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:22] evbogue: Can't you install those OLPC packages, I thought those were all originally developed with Ubuntu in mind? [01:22] evbogue: Sorry I don't have a more direct answer for you.. [01:22] maybee mr basic instructions can help? [01:22] michaelPW: I'll look into what OLPC is doing, thank you. [01:23] !echo logout === nntp is now known as shebang [01:23] evbogue: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/338 [01:23] i know ddrescue can take upwards of 50 hours when splitting, but i'm running it on my 60GB ssd, and it's says the error size is 9223 PB, and the ipos/opos is way above 60gb (306523MB). 21 hours since the last successful read. is it going to just go on forever in an infinte loop since the size seems to be reported incorrectly? [01:23] OpenSorce: I don't understand why people think there could even be a 'best' its preposterous [01:24] evbogue: Sorry maybe I'm thinking of something else. The first I heard/learned about mesh networking was from the OLPC (One Laptop Per-Child) project which was supposed to use a Linux system like Ubuntu (Since it was free) but I'm not sure what happened after Intel and Microsoft got influence in the project :\ [01:24] ActionParsnip, because any time you go into tech support and ask for help people ask "why are you doing it that way, thats dumb!" and so people get obsessed with best practice [01:25] michealPW i've heard of an tablet experiment recently [01:25] so I have a usb drive that has different OSs on it. I made an ISO of this drive. I'd like to be able to modify this iso and copy it to a usb when I need to. copying I can do, and modification I can too (using MagicISO), the problem is that if I rewrite the iso using magiciso it looses it's ability to boot. Is there a 1) a way to modify iso files without rewriting them OR 2) make an iso bootable [01:25] Does anyone know where one can get the pastebin source thats on paste.ubuntu.com ? [01:25] michealPW they dropped some tablets in uneducated areas of africa and recollected them after a 3 months period of use [01:25] blackness: how do you mean? [01:26] I'd like to host a copy of it, so i can use it as a private pastebin. [01:26] blackness: ahh I see [01:27] i have one, but it doesnt accept pipe commands or anything..i have to copy and paste..and paste.ubuntu.com accepts piped commands === Bleu is now known as Zigouigoui [01:27] it seems for aynalization and implementation? [01:27] blackness: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [01:27] I just discovered this and installed it yesterday :) [01:28] thats what i want, but for my own http server... [01:28] i know what pastebinit is. [01:28] Yea I haven't read a lot about that but I read a headline about it on slashdot cyd hehe [01:28] i need the HOST side of that. [01:28] blackness: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Productivity-Sauce/Host-Your-Own-Secure-Pastebin-with-ZeroBin [01:29] thats more like a mailing list forum [01:29] http://blackness.sytes.net:81/paste/ is what i got already [01:29] i can use curl, but i cant do alot of text [01:30] Is anyone running wine 1.5.17 (from the ubuntu wine ppa) on 64 bit in here?

[01:30] cyd: i have a problem. i stoped the install sudo get lubuntu and now it wont let me install it the way you told me to now [01:31] cyd: and the linux wont even mount my cd rom so i can burn it to cd rom [01:31] KBentley57: just install it and the deps will be handled [01:31] you dont mount a cd to burn things.. [01:31] cyd: i messed up my linux so i can't burn anythung to cd rom and it wont let me change to lubuntu [01:31] hmm chris_33 just build the usb-stick [01:32] i put in my usb stick and it wont even delete anything on it [01:32] ActionParsnip, I did that, but I'm having some problems with frame rates, apparantly it stems from only having the 64 bit amd catalyst drivers, and most of the wine stuff being 32 bit. I'm not able to use any of my cards openGL extensions so it seems [01:32] hmm === atrius is now known as atrius_away [01:32] sounds strange [01:32] do you still have windows on your laptop?

[01:32] ActionParsnip, I've been on the wine irc for a couple days trying to figure it out, plus there are tons of posts about the same thing over the web [01:32] ActionParsnip, AMD 6970 [01:33] cyd: it wont mount usb stick now [01:33] KBentley57: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [01:33] cyd: now it's saying that there is not enough space on the usb stick to format. what the heck. [01:33] Is anyone using mesh networking on their Ubuntu device(s)? [01:33] it's a 8 gig usb stick [01:33] lol [01:34] try to format the stick per terminal [01:34] ActionParsnip, you could have just asked what I'm running :P [01:34] you can use dd to image the iso directly to the usb also. [01:34] ActionParsnip, quantal [01:34] cyd: ok i just tried another usb key and it's working. man did linux break my other usb key ? [01:35] no i don't think so ;-) === furian is now known as shantorn [01:37] KBentley57: its a one-covers-all command :) [01:37] Try just reformating the old key again, chris_33.

Unable to boot from dvd. [02:04] bye [02:04] The mi on my acer aspire laptop hasn't worked for several updates now. I'm on 12.04 and it worked around the time 12.04 was released to the general public. Not sure which update hosed it, but it was several months ago. Speakers are fine, but both internal and a mic plugged into the jack are not.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:09] honestly, touchpad support in linux in general seems very very poor [02:09] amanda: I don't know. but if I run the exe from inside widows a menue comes up with a boot from disk selection. When I select that it says that ubuntu needs to install a boot program which is not required with most systems. So I did that and then I'm given the option to boot ubuntu or windows and then it will boot from the dvd but I wanted to do the side by side installation?? [02:09] the hardware makers are often the ones not releaseing specs or giving support to the Linux devs [02:10] aren't synaptics drivers open source? [02:10] when everything has to be reverse engeinnered it can get touchy, [02:11] X.org also i belive did some big changes to the touchpad drivers within the last year or so, Broke some things fixed some things. [02:12] probably to introduce some semblance of multitouch support [02:12] the drivers written by the linux devs are open sourced.. but i dont know what sort of info Synaptic the comany has actually released [02:13] what's the keyboard short cut to fill out some ones name when addressing a message?

It even has ads in some applications. Like Office. [02:17] Can't say I see the same in windows 8, but okay [02:18] But then again, Ubuntu Store or what it's called has ads too. [02:18] either way, I'm sticking with windows 8 on my laptop until touchpad support improves [02:18] Buy this and that application. [02:19] @chris_33 [02:19] chris_33 still there? [02:19] Ubuntu has this babysitter perspective of it's users that I don't like. Otherwise it's okay. The package system is the best. ppa-stuff is brilliant. [02:19] all I want is better circular scrolling and not broken multi-monitor support for touchpads, really [02:19] I use gentoo on my desktop, and yeah the babysitting does annoy me too [02:19] Small things can break a deal. [02:20] any laptop with windows 8 is so new i would be suprised theres not more issues with it under ubuntu. [02:20] compared to gentoo, that is [02:20] amanda: I wasn't aware of that monopolising scam does it sound like this machine fits the bill? [02:20] dr_willis, my laptop didn't come with windows 8 [02:20] it [02:20] How is everyone tonight? [02:20] it's just a standard run of the mill machine [02:20] Slackware is the best for non-babysitting. It can't be updated I think. You're on your own after installing. [02:20] Dont see much point in upgradeing a system to Win8 either. but i dont plan on buying a new laptop any time soon. [02:21] I tried sudo mount -t cifs //server/Public /home/mia/shows -o username=mia,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 I get a Unable to find suitable address…help [02:21] Whats the setting I need to change so that Shift+NumPad 1 highlights to the end of a row (on a laptop number pad) rather than registering as a 1 ? [02:21] i tried ip and name [02:21] I'm actually very much happy with my windows 8 upgrade, but I wanted to try ubuntu since I got invited to the steam beta, and only ubuntu is supported for that [02:22] i want to a coder of linux, where can i start , some one tell me [02:22] rosbuntu, coder for mp3 likes codec or coding term ? [02:22] coding term [02:23] do you know any programming languages already? [02:23] nope [02:23] rosbuntu, go to kernel.org and download them, learn them if you can .... [02:23] if you want to learn to program.. and know nothing about programing.. id say learn pythin [02:23] Python [02:23] well, go pick up a book on python or perl [02:23] Rosbuntu: learn to write little bash scripts, think about learning python or ruby [02:23] OCaml. [02:24] is python hard to learn? [02:24] Nope. [02:24] Rosbuntu: on average, no [02:24] i see, so what wud i able to do if i learn pythone [02:24] almost linux kernel part was written with C [02:24] This was an interesting package: wikipediafs. [02:25] Rosbuntu: if you're a raw beginner, search for the HTML version of the online book, "Learn Python the Hard Way" by Zed Shaw, or "Think Python" which is also free online [02:25] Rosbuntu, I've got the Oreilly python book. I'm leaving for Myrtle Beach tomorrow (driving down from Maine) Are you on my way? [02:25] python isn't hard because 90% of the code you need is already written [02:25] rosbuntu, thats depends on your brain and your capability [02:25] when using the windows installer, is 30gb the max install size? does that mean ill only have 30gb when using it? [02:25] Rosbuntu: Reading code will make you learn it. And writing code. Try to mimik. [02:25] like, the first 20+ lines of your python script will be just importing a bajillion libraries that does all of the work for you [02:26] i see, do u guys know about mirc software? [02:26] Aren't a lot of the scripts in /etc/init.d python? [02:26] I dont see what mirc has to do with linux [02:26] can i make mirc software learning python? [02:26] Isn't mirc the irc client? [02:26] Rosbuntu: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/ [02:26] it is [02:26] Rosbuntu: it would be an 'IRC' Client. [02:26] rosbuntu, sure [02:26] yep [02:27] im pretty sure this guy only wants to make mirc scripts [02:27] mIRC is a specific client. [02:27] lol no [02:27] actually i want to make a mirc like light sotware, which will work on linux [02:27] you want to make an IRC client? [02:27] theres dozens of irc clients allready out there. [02:27] Rosbuntu: Python books: a list of free resources http://pythonbooks.revolunet.com/ [02:27] Sazpaimon yep [02:27] why? [02:27] You should set your sights a bit lower to begin with i imagine... [02:28] what's wrong with irssi, or xchat? [02:28] Sazpaimon: I love irssi [02:28] what problem are you attempting to solve here? [02:28] Sazpaimon they r not that much flexible like mirc [02:28] Sazpaimon: using irssi right now [02:28] yes there are [02:28] most linux irc cleints are 100x more flexiable them mIRC is [02:28] Sazpaimon i see [02:28] dr_willis omg really? [02:28] i think rosbuntu was not enough have knowledge on them [02:28] weechat is amazing in its flexavbiltyu [02:29] just because you can't write silly mirc scripts in them doesn't make them not flexible [02:29] Ron Paul uses Ubuntu http://youtu.be/d-N5adYM7Kw?t=4m16s [02:29] Rosbuntu: your experience with IRC clients is quite limited. === mike is now known as Guest79046 [02:29] dr_willis yep thats true though [02:29] basically you're saying "I can't use this mirc script so it isn't flexible" === Guest79046 is now known as mike_buntu [02:29] Rosbuntu: WeeChat for example is 'scriptable' in like 4 differnt languages [02:29] all useable at the same time [02:30] xchat is scriptable in at least 10 languages [02:30] dr_willis is it light like mirc [02:30] share: Ron Paul uses BitchX, why don't you? [02:30] ruby, python, lua, perl, c, and a bunch others [02:30] cause I use Arch [02:30] 'light' is a vague term.. and I imagine comapred to WeeChat - that mIRC is quite bloated [02:30] hi guys, can anyone help me please, should ubuntu automaticaly detect my usb wintv-hvr tv tuner card? [02:30] ahh i see [02:31] share: yeah but Arch is a Linux distro, BitchX is an IRC client [02:31] cause I use irssi [02:31] share: Ron Paul uses irssi too [02:32] i use irssi [02:32] Ron Paul uses Ubuntu for our safety [02:32] ok lemme download a python ebook [02:33] Ron Paul bum fucked your momma [02:33] !ops [02:33] Help!

[02:33] share: Ron Paul also writes amazing Haskell code [02:34] trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on new laptop. At first won't boot from dvd. Run the exe in windows, select "help me boot from cd" option, it says it needs to install boot program which is not normally required. I do that and it gives me the option when restarting then to boot windows or ubuntu from disk but how do I do the side by side install this way? It seems to be all or nothing. If it was my machine I'd say screw windows but it aint [02:34] share and wyclif take the chit chat elsewhere please [02:35] bazhang: no "chit chat" actually, answering support question re: irssi kthxbye [02:35] bye [02:36] wyclif, Ron Paul has nothing to do with this. so yes, it's offtopic [02:36] bazhang: nope. it was about irssi. thanks. [02:37] hello [02:37] hi i need help with my matrox g450 x4 [02:38] Matrox? thats how old a card> [02:38] thoonai: lspci -nn | grep VGA [02:39] L3top: ok [02:39] L3top: wrong decision, I already dozed off for two seconds [02:40] L3top: i'll ask again tomorrow [02:40] Im so tired, good night [02:40] L3top: and thanks [02:41] trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on new laptop. At first won't boot from dvd. Run the exe in windows, select "help me boot from cd" option, it says it needs to install boot program which is not normally required. I do that and it gives me the option when restarting then to boot windows or ubuntu from disk. Is it still possible to do the side by side install? [02:41] jud: i imagine it should be. [02:41] the installer from booting the cd. does a dual boot install. [02:42] dr_willis: know how? [02:42] if its doing a normal install and not a wubi install then it is setting up dual booting. [02:45] dr_willis: ok but it won't install from the boot menu, it will only boot the dvd and only after the wubi package did something to the computer. === bigbang is now known as xkrux [02:45] no idea on that. I just boot the dvd and install normally and it sets up grub. [02:45] Im not sure what epxeical boot stuff it put on the hd. but the installer should put grub on it. === Steph_De_Chine is now known as worm [02:47] After booting from the dvd I can install it from there and I can select partitions but I don't know where windows is? [02:48] linux will need to be on its own partions. You may need to resize any existing windows partions or delete some if the HD is allready partioned to use 4 primary partions. [02:48] I tend to use a seperate hard drive for linux onmy desktop machines [02:49] dr_willis: You have a lot of desktop machines? o_o [02:49] been slimming the #;s down. ;) [02:49] this is a laptop, it shows the 4 partitions, just not sure how to avoid wiping windows [02:50] jud: #1 thing to do first woule be SURE you have a windows backup/restore dvd set made [02:50] OK, cheers! [02:51] jud: windows machines often come with 4 primary partions by default - that wont work. You will have to remove one to allow extended/logical partions [02:52] i've got 500mb drives as RAID-0 .. cannot get the system to mount automatically. Tired setting the "NVIDIA RAID" which shows up but no go, tried mounting both /dev/sda-1 and /dev/sda2 (the two 50MB drive. Help anyone? [02:52] how do i set the primary monitor? full screen apps chose the wrong monitor [02:52] display settings is unhelpful as usual [02:52] jud: my lappy (toshiba) came with two partitions dedicated to win, the one that ran it and the restore partition, dont toss that one either [02:53] crqd: what video chipset? [02:53] back again.. any know if the packaged version of fglrx installs both the 64 bit and 32 bit libs on a 64 bit system? [02:53] fglrx-updates radeon 6850 [02:53] Ok it has 3 ntfs and 1 fat they seem to be arbitrarily named..bugga [02:53] crqd: the ati controlpanel tool for the fglrx drivers may be the place to look then [02:54] jud: ive seen pcs with a windows boot partion, the main windows partion, a restore partion. then a restore-data image partiion [02:54] dr_willis, was that towards me or crqd [02:55] doesn't have option to set primary :/ [02:56] dr_willis: what would the corresponding size ratio be do you think? [02:57] I'll figure it out..cheers [02:57] using mountmanager 0.2.6, iI trigger the sdb nvidia raid member and the sdc nvidia raid member both to "automatically mount" but still no auto mount of RAID. [03:02] /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/conky-logon.desktop [03:03] can someone help me to fix this problem wit ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RngVKlErD0Q [03:03] with* [03:03] Hey quick question... In Gnome I used to be able to put my .desktop files in an autostart folder and they would launch when the login screen opened. How do I do this with lightdm in xubuntu 12.04? [03:04] Well I'm glad THAT was productive. ^ [03:05] K1rk|Work: what autostart folder are you talking about? [03:05] the ~/.config/autostart/ thing should work in kde, gnome, unity and xfce as far as i know [03:05] Pr0B0t: I can't read the screen to see what's going on. Are you having trouble booting an Ubuntu installation, or are you having trouble booting an Ubuntu liveCD ? [03:05] pretty sure it works with lxde also [03:05] right, but they won't launch AT the login screen, only AFTER login [03:05] dr_willis: yes, it works in xubuntu [03:05] jrib: /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow [03:06] jrib: not present anymore in xubuntu 12.04, probably because of no gdm [03:06] K1rk|Work: what are you trying to start? [03:06] lightdm has similer features. or you can use gdm [03:06] kirk, just creat it [03:06] jrib: Conky [03:06] dougbb: wtf why will that work? [03:06] conky on the login screen? ;) how cute. [03:06] There's a generic autostart [03:07] K1rk|Work: that should be something that launches after login use ~/.config/autostart/ [03:07] kirk, you can also go to settings manager -> system -> session and startup [03:07] dr_willis: we use it to give status info, like "connected to network" "ready to login" etc so our end users can know what's up if login failes [03:07] i install ubuntu and when it start after loading it show desktop image menu bar(w/o any menu) and mouse and then some GPU loading or something like that and some channel failed 2 channel failed 3... [03:07] I had xearth set up once to start with GDM. ;) [03:07] Lemme google it, 'cause I can't remember the location. Is it ~/.xsession/autostart ? [03:07] jrib: it's for login troubleshooting info [03:07] K1rk|Work: what? [03:07] Oh wait maybe jrib knows :P [03:07] ~/.config/autostart [03:07] jrib: We use it to tell our users whether the computer is ready to login, or still waiting on an IP, etc [03:07] jrib: so it should run @ login screen [03:07] jrib: we've always been able to do it before [03:08] im not sure if the old GDM is still in the repos or not. [03:08] K1rk|Work: so conky draws over the login window? yeah you could always just use gdm... [03:08] michealPW: where is the generic autostart? [03:08] GDM wont use the generic system auto start dir when it starts up as far as i know. [03:08] dr_willis: we are using lightdm now, not gdm... [03:08] /etc/xdg/autostart/ [03:08] dr_willis: that only works AFTER login [03:08] you can install gdm if you wanted. === nntp is now known as shebang [03:09] dr_willis: not particularly... [03:09] K1rk|Work: why? [03:09] jrib: why what? [03:09] kirk, you want to run something _before_ the user logs in? [03:09] Should lubuntu have a launcher on the desktop by default? === shebang is now known as nntp [03:10] yes, plore [03:10] to the left [03:10] K1rk|Work: why can't you use gdm? [03:10] lubuntu has a panel at the bottom and a start type button at the bottom left [03:10] jrib: why would we want to? lightdm is preinstalled and already works [03:10] because you know how to do what you want with gdm ;) [03:11] Im sure its doable in lightdm also.. i just dont know what config in /etc/ to mess with [03:11] I have that, I was wondering if I could get a launcher similar to what ubuntu has. Not necessarily looking for something that looks as nice, just a similar concept. [03:11] !dock | plore [03:11] plore: Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [03:12] I can use any of those in lubuntu? === ansi is now known as Guest11548 [03:12] hi who knows what package gets installed with 12.10 that moves common user /tmp files into /run/user/$username ? === Guest11548 is now known as Ansi__ [03:13] K1rk|Work: try /usr/share/gnome/autostart/ just a guess. You might have to dig into source code to be sure... === zoite is now known as Guest41033 [03:14] actually that's probably not used at all [03:14] (for login anyway) === Guest41033 is now known as zoite [03:14] Does the desktop version of Ubuntu come with remote terminal access by default or do I need to set it up? [03:14] walterwoj1: set it up/enable it [03:15] set it up [03:15] Ugh. I wanna make a useful utility for Ubuntu. Do you know of any? [03:15] gustav__: to do what? [03:15] depends what lsng [03:15] lang [03:16] Any lang really. [03:16] jrib: Something useful. [03:16] gustav__: that's pretty vague... [03:16] Port tyhe C64 game Wavy Navy to Ubuntu :) [03:16] gustav__: you want to make one? How about a customizable indicator that lets peope define menu options and corresponding commands. the backend (which you write) sets up all the dbus foo [03:17] that would be super handy [03:17] Hwkiller: In Unity? The left bar thing? That can't be done in any way? I thought it could. [03:17] so basically, an indicator generator [03:17] jrib: Thanks, Is there any remote desktop software for ubuntu? [03:18] gustav__: no, indicators are the things in the upperleft [03:18] er, right* [03:18] !vnc | walterwoj1 [03:18] walterwoj1: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:18] media, messaging, system, etc [03:18] walterwoj1: if you just need a remote shell, use ssh [03:18] can anyone help with increasing the partition size in ubuntu 12.04, i have 3 partitions, one 262 GB on which windows is installed , one 139 GB for general data, and a 80.92 GB as ubuntu file system, i basically want to resize the ubuntu filesystem size and take a few gigs from the general data partition [03:18] Hwkiller: And get input for that through dbus? [03:19] gustav__: well, everything with indicators is basically dbus [03:19] dr_willis: I haven't played that. It looks more advanced than I thought. [03:19] jrib: SSH is not available by default though is it (I don't want to have to go out to the garage again tonight to access the server.) [03:20] Hwkiller: I don't run Unity. [03:20] Ansi__: gparted can do that, just be sure to back up all your data first :) [03:20] walterwoj1: it's not available by default, no. Neither is vnc enabled by default [03:20] (That makes me sound like a very bad person.) [03:20] nm found it, libpam-xdg-support [03:20] dang [03:21] is it a GUI or command line [03:21] evening folks , are selinux or apparmor part of the default install ? [03:21] Ansi__: gui, you can install it from the software center [03:22] Pelo: Yep, AppArmor is. [03:22] ok, now topic: what do the permissions on a SAMBA share need to be so it is remotely shared and locally accessable to the running user? [03:26] a user can right click on a folder and share it.. then you could see what it setup. ;) [03:26] guys, anyone have an amd video card and also run wine? [03:27] *puts hand up* [03:27] michealPW, do you have steam installed [03:27] as long as samba is installed [03:27] Nope [03:27] you can share files [03:28] I run Steam on win7. Should work fine with the latest fglrx drivers (If your card isn't legacy, that is) [03:28] On linux, I mean ^ [03:29] dougbb it all speaks of sda4 , 5 etc etc once i edit or merge, will the boot thing get automatically be updated [03:30] Ansi__: if you change partitions you'll have to update fstab [03:30] how to do that? [03:30] michealPW, what video card do you have, if you don't mind me asking, and which games. I'm trying to troubleshoot a l4d2 issue [03:30] walterwoj1: You might want to go out to the garage and install ssh, though. That way regardless of the problem you run into later on you could also at the last resort ssh into the server and correct the problem ( Without having to go back to the garage :P ) [03:31] I installed SAMBA and setup a share at /storage (separate partition) but I cannot work in that folder as my user. [03:31] michealPW: LOL, good idea! [03:31] Anyone else got an idea that's not Unity related maybe? Something I can do? Create? [03:31] dougbb please guide me here.. i have a total of 5sda's being displayed.. [03:31] Ansi__: there are a number of things you need to know if you're going to successfully change partitions on a functioning system ... how important is it to you to make these changes? [03:32] KBentley57: I have an ATI Radeon HD 6550D and use fglrx v9.0 with PlayOnLinux 4.8. Perhaps that's your mistake? Are you installing Wine directly and running l4d2, or are you using PlayOnLinux to manage Wine for your? [03:32] I use POL with great success.. [03:33] The Samba-docs package has several books on using samba that show examples of setting up shares for specific needs [03:33] dougbb i need to resize the sda2 and take like 50 gb and add to sda5 which is my ubuntu filesystem, i want to do this as there is no more meory left on the ubuntu partition.. ive deleted loads of stuff but still [03:33] michealPW, I'm using wine to have steam installed, and installed l4d2 from steam [03:33] walterwoj1: what filesystem is that partion? [03:34] Ansi__: Ok, if ALL you are doing is resizing existing partitions, not adding or deleting partitions, then you can just do that with gparted without having to worry about changing anything else [03:34] dr_willis: ext4 I believe. I have confirmed that it is accessable to my windows machine, just not to my local user on that machine. [03:35] how do I check if apparmor is running ? [03:35] you will need to make use of groups, or set up the user to own the directory, or use some open permissions on it via chmod i imagine [03:35] Pelo: # apparmor_status [03:35] doughbb (Sigh!).. thanks.. but how do i do it in here.. i just want to make sure that i dont do anything wrong.. so if sda2 is the drive i want to reze and give 50 gigs to sda5 , should i be unmounting both or what? [03:35] gustav__, tanks [03:36] Ansi__: i find it best to use gparted from a live cd. [03:36] Ansi__: are sda2 and sda5 next to each other on the disk? [03:36] dr_willis what difference would that make? [03:36] Ansi__: moving space from a primary to a extended/logical partion may need to be done in steps. Shrink the first. then enlarge the exteended, then extend the logical [03:36] dougbb what do u mean next to each other? [03:36] Ansi__: dr_willis is right, you should make the actual changes from a live cd [03:37] Ansi__: Nothing will be mounted from a live cd hopefully [03:37] swap Might get auto mounted dependng on what live cd [03:37] KBentley57: My advice is to try your luck with POL. The difference is PlayOnLinux has a database of a tonne of games/programs and what version of wine/libraries work best with them.. [03:37] how do i make a live CD? [03:37] the gparted live cd is worth having. [03:37] Ansi__: I mean just what I said ... are there partitions in between sda2 and sda5? [03:37] michealPW, I'll give it a go, it is free right? [03:38] dougbb can i show u the screenshot somehow?? [03:38] since upgrading to 12.04 I can no longuer access my share from my xp machine, or anyother for that matter, seems to be a problem with permission but i've just spent an hour in #samba and no joy , does anyone have a clue ? [03:38] sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ;) may show needed info [03:38] Ansi__: sure, take a screenshot, and post it on line [03:38] KBentley57: Yea for sure. Checkout this link, here.. [03:38] dougbb any particular website? [03:38] middle click paste stopped woring anoyone ghave that probn [03:39] working* [03:39] Ansi__: do what dr_willis suggested [03:39] KBentley57: http://www.playonlinux.com [03:40] dougbb http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364133/ [03:41] Ansi__: what you want to do won't work [03:41] the only partition you can give space to sda5 from is sda4 [03:42] why?? if u see sda3 is an extended part? [03:43] dougbb and sda5 is nothing but same as sda3..isnt it? [03:43] Ansi__: the only way you can do what you want to do is if the partitions are adjacent [03:44] Ansi__: the only solution to your problem is going to be back up all your data, and then start from scratch [03:44] dougbb sir sda5 is actually part of sda3 [03:44] Ansi__: yes, I get that [03:45] if i can show u the gpart snapshot then i can explain what i mean [03:45] if you knowing about extended partition, that is [03:45] Ansi__: I know what you want to do, you can't do it [03:46] What should I use spare CPU cycles for? [03:46] gparted can move partitions as well; shrink sda2, expand the extended partition, slide sda4 to the left, resize sda5. it will take ages, though [03:46] gustav__: don't use them for anything, save electricity :) [03:46] Meh... [03:47] My computer is a very bad problem solver. It rarely solves a problem at all. [03:47] Hi, i've tried to install ubuntu 12.10 to my PC but i keep getting the error: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"... Does anyone know how i can solve this? [03:48] brjannc: that type of work is rather complex, and dangerously prone to error ... if it works at all, which is not guaranteed .... it would be safer to back up the data and start from scratch [03:49] dougbb so how do u suggest i do it??? [03:49] dougbb, if the data is backed up, there's no risk in trying it. [03:49] Ansi__: back up your data, and reinstall [03:49] dougbb sir .. for starters can u let me merge the sda4 into 5.. is that possible?? [03:50] brjannc: since the data being backed up has to be done anyway, re-installing will probably be faster and safer in any case :) [03:50] Ansi__: you can, but that will change the partition name, so it's likely that you would have to update the OS after you're done [03:51] dougbb, I personally would do exactly what you're suggesting, but some people are more attached to their current setups than I am :) [03:51] dougbb that is if i want to merge , but what if i want to take just a portion of it then??? [03:52] Ansi__: well then you would shrink sda4, and then expand sda5 [03:52] how do i do that??? [03:52] Ansi__: we're going in circles here [03:53] dougbb how do i do that??? also that sda4 has data in it.. (i dont want that data) [03:53] dougbb please dont mind.. i am new to linux and ubuntu i need help sorry for bothering u so much [03:54] dougbb i dont see expand and shrink options in gparted.. where would i find them.. or what is the procedure to do it? [03:54] Ansi__: it's no problem, we were all new once ... but I think I've run out of ways to explain it to you, sorry [03:55] dougbb so u mean i cannot do it while i am logged in from ubuntu? or it cant be done? [03:55] gustav__: There's a couple programs for making use of spare CPU cycles.. Ones about aliens which is kinda silly but another is meant to help cancer research, I think it's called "Folder@Home" or something. [03:55] Hi, shouldn't dpkg -l list only installed packages? I tried dpkg -l '*inet*' and I got both [03:55] ansi_, do it from live session, [03:56] gustav__: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage [03:56] Ansi__: I think that you would be making a huge mistake by trying to make these changes on your live system. The only recommendation I have for you is to back up your data, and reinstall from scratch. If you insist on making these changes, perhaps someone else can help you. [03:57] just trying again: i've tried to install ubuntu 12.10 to my PC but i keep getting the error: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"... Does anyone know how i can solve this? [03:57] dougbb please can you then help me with identifying what to and how to delete stuff so i can increase space on my ubuntu?? [03:58] michealPW: Trying it. [03:58] Ansi__: I've heard good things about bleachbit, but I haven't tried it myself yet [03:58] dougbb i have already emptied my downloads folder.. but i feel so tied up or scared to touch anyother folder?? are there any temp or unwanted folders that i can let go? [04:00] It's folding. Yay. [04:01] if i'm chrooting to a partition JUST to grub-install, do I still need to mount /dev and /proc etc? [04:02] gunarm1: grub-install needs to access the disc devices [04:02] Cool! [04:02] that's /dev [04:02] Mine's not folding :( [04:02] oh right [04:02] thanks, i should have thought about it for 2 seconds [04:02] michealPW: You have to start it. :) [04:02] I think it's my firewall or router, though. Hrmm lemme see here [04:02] (rofl) yea I started it [04:03] I came up with something that might be useful, at least for me: Quality Assurance tools. For the desktop. [04:03] dougbb thanks for all your time.. i really appreciate all that :) [04:03] sounds like a marketing term. ;) [04:03] dr_willis: Are you unhappy? [04:04] been flooded at work recently with all these silly terms and phrases like that this week, [04:04] Hmm. I see. [04:04] how can i make my cd drive open without the button? [04:05] the eject command brandon420 [04:06] brandon420, push a paperclip in that little hole next :) [04:08] guess he pushed it in the wrong home [04:09] Power outlet. [04:09] He's gonna have a lot of complaints with QA. [04:10] 'do not stick paperclips in this hole' stickers [04:11] <[ent]> there are a bunch of people here laugh [04:11] <[ent]> more than anyware [04:11] <[ent]> :/ [04:11] :d === rofl is now known as Athlon === Athlon is now known as Scrolls [04:21] anyone here using libreoffice ? [04:21] why when inserting image the image quaility will become bad [04:22] Cause your a cat :-) [04:23] rescaleing/resizeing the image i imagine [04:24] but i don't think libreoffice should rescale the image [04:24] Or the cat thing... Running across the keyboard mashing all the buttons :-) [04:24] Hello [04:24] meowmeowmeow, #libreoffice [04:25] I want to bring package lists to some offline computer which has exact ubuntu install with the online one. I copy lists from /var/lib/apt/lists but then software center won't open at all [04:26] Hmm. cant say ive ever looked at the files in lists. [04:27] what can I do? [04:27] This is a tricky question: Where can I get/where is X11 libs for Ocaml? [04:28] theres the apt-on-cd thing ehsan thats often used [04:28] !offline [04:28] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [04:31] dr_willis I'll check that [04:32] Hi [04:32] dr_willis, it only has main packages not multiverse and universe [04:32] gustav__: seeing as a -nox version exists, I'd guess the regular "ocaml" package includes them [04:32] if a specific Ubuntu Release is EOL, does it mean i cannot use it further? [04:32] jrib: Doesn't. [04:33] gustav__: can you give an example...? [04:33] kaushal: you can use it. but the update servers for it will get moved to some archive-servers and its unsupported by this channel [04:33] kaushal: better to upgrade befor somthing goes EOL [04:33] dr_willis: ok [04:34] dr_willis: archive-servers does not get updated? [04:34] no more security updated after somnthing goes eol [04:34] so no., [04:34] jrib: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Window_creation/X11#OCaml [04:34] ok [04:34] is there a specific reason to have EOL for a particular Ubuntu Version? [04:35] for example 18 months [04:35] not sure i understand that [04:35] !eol [04:35] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:35] kaushal: Maybe to make big new changes. But that's pure speculation. [04:36] theres really no point in spending manpower keeping some old rease updated after thers been so many reelases since then [04:37] But that would be EOS - End-of-Service. [04:37] stick to LTS releases if you wantto minimize the hassles of release changes [04:37] dr_willis: ok [04:38] or upgrade/clean install with each new release every 6 mo. ;) [04:38] dr_willis: i prefer clean install [04:38] since it would break things [04:39] I prefer a solid system that never needs updates. But no one cares about my preferences. [04:39] any specific reason to have quick releases in every six months [04:39] gustav__: you can have that, just unplug the ethernet cable :) [04:40] jrib: ocamlfind list doesn't list any x, x11 or xlib. I'm not using -nox. [04:40] dougbb: :/ [04:40] dougbb: Keep it civil. [04:40] gustav__: didn't you see the smiley? [04:40] gustav__: I see plenty of x-related files in dpkg -L ocaml; but I'm not familiar enough with ocaml to say for sure what is happening [04:42] jrib: I don't (12.10.) I do see labltk though, which might do. [04:43] so you guys just cant help === qos is now known as qos|away [04:44] surprise libreoffice is not that ppppppppppppppppppopular [04:44] I need some help stopping a Apache2 server.

[04:53] I downloaded 7zip and the add-on attached. but after I extracted a rar file, the doc files inside were in messy code. Are there any solutions? [04:53] CrossPacific: what does "in messy code" mean...? [04:53] try the rar and rar non free packages. or winrar in wine [04:53] with symbols and unknown characters [04:54] I downloaded both rar and rar non free packages [04:55] CrossPacific: the original data is probably corrupt then [04:55] or some weirdness with how it was made [04:55] but I extracted it in Windows and it worked [04:55] try winrar in wine [04:56] CrossPacific: can you open the files you extracted in windows ok? [04:56] what kind of file are the docs? txt? Html? [04:57] docx and doc [04:57] yes i can [04:57] and what are you using to open them in linux? [04:57] libreoffice [04:57] I can open the files I extracted in windows [04:58] CrossPacific: can you verify that the checksums on the files opened in windows, and the files opened in linux are the same? [04:58] It sounds like the formatting has too much excitement for libreoffice [04:58] CrossPacific: can take the the files you extracted in windows, copy them to linux, and do they open ok on linux? [04:58] They are the same [04:58] .... which isn't hard to do if the author used fancy stuff in windows [04:58] !who | CrossPacific [04:58] CrossPacific: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) === will is now known as Guest17177 [04:59] CrossPacific: Ok, then you can't use libreoffice ... you'll have to use ms office in wine, or edit them in windows [04:59] jrib: I can open the files I extracted in Windows and open them with Libreoffice in Linux [05:00] dougbb: The files I extracted from Windows can be open in Linux with libreoffice [05:00] CrossPacific: that's pretty weird. Do you get different results if you use "unrar e FILE.rar" in a terminal? === ericab is now known as ericab_away [05:00] CrossPacific: then the checksums of the 2 files are not the same [05:01] CrossPacific: how did you check them? [05:01] dougbb:I opened them separately in two systems. [05:02] CrossPacific: I asked you if the checksums on the extracted files are the same, did you actually check them? [05:02] as in, using md5sum (or whatever hash you prefer) === toastcfh is now known as t0astcfh [05:03] dougbb: I am sorry I am a beginner in here and I don't understand what is checksums. [05:03] CrossPacific: then you should have asked rather than saying yes :) [05:03] * gustav__ throws the channel into gdb to have a closer look. [05:03] do you have the files opened from both systems on your linux box? === D is now known as Guest31402 [05:04] dougbb: Yes, I do [05:04] ok, then run this against each extracted file: md5sum file [05:05] change "file" to be the real name of each file [05:05] then compare the results [05:05] I suspect that they will be different [05:06] dougbb: Do you mean I should type in md5sum file in the terminal? [05:06] yes [05:07] put the files in some dir.. cd to the dir.. md5sum * should do it for every file [05:07] easier to compare tht way ;) [05:08] id bet its some libreoffice vs Word formating issues.. or font issue [05:08] dr_willis: good point [05:08] dr_willis: he said he can open the files extracted in windows with libre [05:08] so they are getting corrupted on extraction somehow [05:09] i thought the doc files had some sort of formating/checksumming so the word processor can tell when they are currupted [05:10] dr_willis: theoretically, sure ... but ms office has all kinds of proprietary stuff, and who knows if libre can deal with it [05:13] k [05:16] is this needed in my fstab: proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 [05:16] superfake123: first rule of system administration, if you don't understand it, don't touch it :) [05:17] how you gonna learn that way? ;-) [05:17] superfake123, short answer is yes. maybe someone who understand better can explain why. [05:17] well I ask because my brand new laptop that I just installed ubuntu on does not have it [05:17] but my old desktop does have it (12.10) === nathan is now known as Guest3270 [05:18] superfake123: on your laptop, do this: mount | grep proc [05:18] I understand it's something to do with the kernel but that is about it [05:18] ok 1 sec [05:19] superfake123: Unless you have some special setup, proc is not necessary in fstab - it will automatically be loaded with default settings when not listed with specific ones. === blackshirt is now known as hatori [05:20] ahhh ok. yeah I see it when I do the grep proc [05:20] grep proc /etc/fstab Nothing here [05:20] 12.10 essentially removed it as a default fstab entry as a "bugfix". [05:20] it's like magic :) [05:22] hi all [05:23] I need some help downloading ubuntu to a usb any tips? [05:23] Use at least a 4GB stick, Laptop1. [05:23] ty [05:23] you making a live-usb or doing a full install to it? [05:24] that is EXACTLY what I needed to know [05:24] like you read my mind..lol thanks [05:24] ;-) [05:24] Dr, either would be nice [05:24] I usually use an 8GB stick with 4GB persistence - personal preference there. [05:24] k i need a new one anyway [05:24] Laptop1: either? [05:24] I think you can make an installer usb stick with 2gb. No need for persistance with somthing you are just going to install from [05:25] I would like to learn how to do both [05:25] a full install to a usb stick would need at least 8gb id say.. for any real work to be done [05:25] ive seen 32gb and 64gb sticks for reasonable prices : [05:25] dr_willis: i need that icons cache can be rebuild in package install, can you tell what i need to do in package to achieve that? [05:25] 32GB for $19.99 around here. [05:25] Does the live usb thing work well? [05:26] Laptop1: sure, as long as your BIOS supports it [05:26] simplew: cant say ive ever needed to rebuild the icon cache [05:26] LiveUSB drives are basically a way to try out or install Ubuntu on a computer that doesn't have it - whichever you prefer. [05:26] ran on a 43gb usb stick for ages. [05:26] oops a 32 :) [05:26] slower then a internal HD. but useable [05:26] Sure sounds cool to run my comp entirely on a usb [05:27] Laptop1: Keep in mind, USB drives run nowhere near as quickly as most internal hard drives. [05:27] there are those USB3 USB sticks out now. ;) [05:27] but i havent trried any of those [05:27] Ok, is there a way to load Ubuntu without burning a cd? [05:27] Fair point. === qos|away is now known as qos [05:27] Put it on a usb stick Laptop1 ... [05:28] Laptop1: that would be the live-usb [05:28] That's what we've been talking about, Laptop1. :-) There are instructions at ubuntu.com [05:28] thanks [05:28] i rarely burn cds these days [05:28] i miss ubuntu [05:28] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [05:29] once again, EXACTLY what I searched for earlier D' [05:30] faved [05:30] Burning CDs makes giving them away easier, booting from old machines easier...that's about it.

I'd like to remove the windows recovery and samsung system paritions etc and just leave the windows 8 parition and the ubuntu parition? all together I have 9 partitions. I take it the bios_grub partition should be left alone right? any others I should leave? [05:35] usually it they have a label [05:35] may be best to ask in #windows superfake123 id be sure to have backup media made first [05:36] blkid [05:36] superfake123: if you don't already know, leave it alone :) [05:36] superfake123: Seconded. If this is a new computer(other than Lenovo), you should make recovery discs asap. [05:36] i was thinking windows had some sort of boot partion also. [05:36] For windows, that is. [05:37] dr_willis: they do by default, but it can live without them [05:37] it's a Samsung ultrabook. honestly I hate windows 8. i just dont wanna mess up grub [05:37] Commonly lableled as system reserved, although sometimes a basic windows install doesnt use it or leaves it empty [05:38] Windows 8 boots a little differently. I'd defer to #windows for that one. [05:38] lately when i buy a new laptop. I get a new HD for it also so i can swap out the original. :) and keep it safe [05:38] there are 3 partitions labeled 'recovery' seems a bit excessive [05:38] superfake123: That's why you make discs. [05:38] ultrabook even have optical drives to make disks with [05:39] > [05:39] well, I should say win7 can live without its separate boot partition, I haven't been afflicted with win 8 yet :) [05:39] dr_willis: most support usb drives, if no external drive is available. [05:39] I have a windows iso on my computer it would take 30 seconds to copy it to a usb i'm not worried about that really [05:39] Which one? [05:40] both windows 7 and 8 actually [05:40] Ah, perfect. Cary on. ;-p [05:40] *carry [05:40] ive 'restored' windows on some desktop machines from windows "standard" disks/iso and then reaize the silly things had special driver/software/tools i couldent rack down. ;) [05:41] I almost forgot drivers could be a problem... [05:41] Still not sure why so many wifi cards need special guis/config tools on windows [05:41] when on linux the same drivers work for a dozen cards. :) [05:41] because vendors are lazy [05:41] Propriety is an amazing thing. [05:42] vendors are too lazy to be lazy... [05:43] Knowing very little about driver specifics, I would hazard a guess that Windows drivers deal more with specific hardware, and linux drivers deal more with the actual interfaces. === qos is now known as qos|away === jimerickson is now known as Guest67220 [05:44] DaemonicApathy: that's not quite it ... if you know that 99% of your market is windows, you can just write drivers that you know will be installed on windows, and not care quite so much about things like standards, ABIs, etc. [05:45] ... you also don't care if pieces of hardware that claim to be the same are actually different, because you know how to detect those conditions, and your driver installer is written accordingly [05:45] Fair enough, dougbb. I tend to forget about the social vs technical aspects. [05:47] believe it or not, it actually has gotten a bit better in the last 5-10 years [05:47] linux has a real foothold in the enterprise market now, and companies are demanding that hardware be supportable in linux [05:47] That much I do know. Drivers used to be a lot more hassle on Linux. The fact that some of us can forget that occasionally is a testament to the improvement. [05:47] lol [05:48] .... not to mention companies like nvidia that actively reach out to the FOSS crowd [05:48] And Intel, of course. USB 3.0 worked on Linux first. ;-) [05:48] Specifically Ubuntu, iirc. [05:48] what is the best support for graphic cards come from ? Nvidia? Ati? Intel ? [05:49] anyone with packaging knowledge? [05:49] would say intel. but even they have some issues from time to time === len is now known as Guest18534 [05:49] then nvidia. then all thats left is ATI. :) and if it says S3... run away.. [05:50] Does matrox even exist any more? [05:50] dr_willis, its mean, intel graphics would play nice in linux ? [05:50] simplew: what kind of knowledge are you looking for? [05:50] hatori: on average, nvidia for higher performance cards, intel for basic ones [05:50] hatori: they SHOULD play nice.. [05:50] greats .... [05:50] ... just don't get a lenovo laptop with the stupid hybrid graphics [05:50] Intel has some issues and mistakes over the last few years withs ome of their graphics.. [05:50] the whole Hybrid gfx is a Huge problem right now [05:51] lol dr_willis ... linus torvalds gave nvidia the finger and ati will plrlly be next [05:51] dr_willis, especially with intel poulsbo series ? [05:51] * dougbb afflicted with hybrid .... bumblebee helps [05:51] old ati cards are still doing badly [05:51] but interestingly enough, the intel card is good enough to run compiz [05:52] I imagine it will be a while befor i invest in a new laptop. [05:52] just to many changes happening in that area right now. ;) [05:52] my biggest problem atm is that I can't do presentations while booted into linux because bumblebee doesn't know how to activate the external monitor jack :-/ [05:52] aha, ping__ was here :d [05:52] DaemonicApathy: i need to get icons cache rebuild in package isntall, i know i need to have a debian/post script, buw what i put there?

[07:22] rinzler, well, you have to locate it first, you can with df command [07:23] rinzler, where is it mounted? [07:24] DarthEaron: It's not possible to initiate a connection between two nodes where neither have an externally routed ip address, without some intermediary server that does have an externally routable ip address.

[07:24] ix_: and to mount it at boot. [07:25] rinzler, you first have to know what you want to mount, you can find out with sudo fdisk -l [07:25] i can set up a ssh server on my iphone, but can i set up port forwarding to my iphone via its 3G connection?

[07:32] rinzler, :) [07:34] so, when setting up rsync as a cron job to sync to a remote server, should I use -a for the options? [07:34] DarthEaron: If your 3G connection doesn't give you an externally routable ip address, which accepts connections initiated from the outside world, then I doubt there is a way to change that fact (it would be your phone provider's routers which would need to be configured for port forwarding...). === amit is now known as Guest10449 [07:43] Is there a helper online, before I ask something?

[08:59] huhlig-home, you could try to install another version of python [08:59] huhlig-home, apt-get install python === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [08:59] ix_, python is newest [09:00] :) [09:00] and then iut tries to finish the install for python3-distupgrade [09:00] back [09:00] and bombs [09:00] ix_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/ [09:00] huhlig-home, apt-get remove python-distupgrade [09:00] huhlig-home, apt-get remove python3-distupgrade [09:01] ix_, tried that http://pastebin.com/RcWqr4pH [09:01] a while ago [09:01] it didnt like it [09:02] been trying to fix this and googling for a couple hours prior to pulling my hair out and coming here [09:02] huhlig-home, :) [09:02] i seem to have Ubuntu 11.10 in here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/ [09:03] can't recall where i got it from [09:03] huhlig-home, if aptitude would work, you could force the other version [09:03] aptitude is installed [09:03] i seem to have Ubuntu 11.10 in here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/ ( cat /etc/apt/sources.list ) [09:03] aptitude doesnt exist anymore for some reason [09:04] DBoyz, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete everything there and paste from here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364464/ [09:04] ix_, no more aptitude executable http://pastebin.com/Se7gp3H5 [09:04] DBoyz, then, sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && sudo apt-get update [09:05] gnome-system-monitor.rymate.644655047: Can't copy special file [09:05] o.o [09:05] huhlig-home, I think there is a way out of it [09:06] ix_, I am all ears [09:06] huhlig-home, well, I think that if you put the repositories from an older ubuntu release and tell it to install python, it will install the version from that repo [09:06] o.O [09:07] huhlig-home, get my point? :) [09:07] I have a higher version though [09:07] got it using cpan. thanks a lot! [09:08] huhlig-home, did you try apt-get -f install? [09:09] ix_, yep, several times [09:09] huhlig-home, I thought so [09:09] ix_: done === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [09:10] DBoyz, does it work fine? [09:11] DBoyz, when you will want to install stuff from google, you should look at your package manager first, as you already have the repositories there [09:11] o que é kernel [09:11] ix_: where can i find package manager? [09:12] also, what is supposed to work fine? [09:12] DBoyz, :) if the last command did not give errors, it's fine [09:13] arrrgh [09:13] I cant remove it [09:13] I cant install it [09:13] no errors :) [09:13] I hate zombie packages [09:13] huhlig-home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] fsck off floodbot [09:14] huhlig-home, sudo dpkg --remove python3 [09:14] :) [09:14] now, where can i find package manager? [09:14] ix_, wont let me [09:15] DBoyz, I use synaptic, but Ubuntu has some other package manager [09:15] "it wont let me" means what exactly? [09:15] I thought synaptic was deprecated? [09:15] DBoyz: be oldschool, use apt [09:15] huhlig-home, sudo dpkg -r --force-depends python3 [09:15] !package manager [09:15] !synaptic [09:15] A Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [09:15] ix_, it wont even let me do that [09:16] gordonjcp: where do i use apt? terminal? [09:16] ix_, http://pastebin.com/qZ4PbX7t [09:16] huhlig-home, I give up, it does not seem to be a way to remove python3 without all the other things [09:16] apparently it tries to load python3 to remove python3 [09:17] DBoyz: yup === henry_ is now known as uuvn [09:17] but how do i use apt to install chrome? [09:18] huhlig-home: i'd try to find the cause of this "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding" unfortunately i don't have any clue about python at all [09:18] DBoyz, sudo apt-get install google-chrome [09:18] ! dance [09:19] llutz, ive been trying [09:19] huhlig-home, you could try to install them again after they will be removed, but it will take some time [09:20] oh right. i already have chrome installed [09:20] ! purge [09:20] To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [09:20] DBoyz, I knew that :P [09:21] DBoyz, sudo apt-get install synaptic [09:21] DBoyz, maybe you will need synaptic one day, it's a good app [09:21] what's the name of the ubuntu package manager? [09:22] nope [09:22] apparently you cant remove python without having a working python installation [09:22] ix_: The package manager is called dpkg, the frontend mostly used is apt, and one of the graphical frontends is synaptic. [09:22] ix_: what about ubuntu software center? [09:23] DBoyz, exactly, ubuntu software center [09:23] ! aptitude [09:23] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [09:23] can i use that too? [09:23] DBoyz: Yes, you can use the software center too. === mrenouf is now known as mrenouf|away [09:24] alright. thank you [09:24] now i need help with hdapsd [09:25] i can't seem to get it working. google isn't helping either [09:27] DBoyz, what is hdapsd?

[09:29] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_hard-drive_protection [09:29] I have a probleme i've installed ubuntu 12.04 a few days ago i'm running it side to side to my windows 7 , everything works great but it does this strange thing you know how on a desktop computer when you turn it on the first 1 minut or so it makes a lot of noises, fans are running ect.. well on ubuntu the fans never stop running? which windows 7 doesnt do [09:29] protect my hard drive from impact [09:29] is this normal or should i worry about that? === said is now known as Guest29781 [09:30] joey_, I think it's normal, it seems that ubuntu does not know hot to regulate your fan speed [09:31] joey_, so it's always at max [09:31] yes exactly [09:31] always at max [09:31] so i shouldnt really worry about that ? [09:31] joey_, I don't think so, but you could check the temperature [09:32] and i also have another question , is it possible that ubuntu can get infected by a windows virus? [09:33] msd joey_ i think no [09:33] oh okay [09:33] thats what i thought [09:33] joey : i have a couple older pc's that do that ... this pc runs the fan at idle as we speak [09:33] joey_, it's very difficult to infect Linux, even if you want to [09:33] joey_: Welcome to linux, no more scandisk, defrag, virus scans .... :) [09:33] haha thanks :p [09:33] my computer just unlocked its screen because of the upgrade to 12.10 [09:34] msg joey_ because you can exec windows project in linux [09:34] antonio [09:34] excel in wine works okay, but it's quirky and has no middle mouse button support [09:35] m joey_ on i am sorry i mean you can not exec a windows programer in linux [09:35] henry_, that's not exactly true, as there is wine [09:35] WINE [09:35] :) [09:35] windows programmers aren't so bad, there is no need to execute them. [09:36] i know but wine is not perfact [09:36] ~... yes, because there is not much in the way of OpenSource/Linux apps that is lacking [09:36] oh yes but i meant if you download a file from the internet let's say a torrent with music and it has a virus in it that was probably made to infect windows systems could it infect a linux system? [09:36] not unless it is a new type of virus [09:36] joey_: no [09:36] oh okay [09:36] Hi. When i booted my pc something happened with my theme.

[09:36] it would be a first [09:36] !virus| joey_ [09:36] joey_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [09:36] joey_, no, it can't infect Linux, but you could infect a friend's windows by mistake [09:36] thats why everyone feels safer on linux systems [09:36] i just warray about flash or javascript === Guest29781 is now known as saidsaid [09:38] ix_: Well, only if you forward an email or file that is a virus. That's not really much of an issue. Not something that isn't going to happen anyway. [09:38] well linux is great [09:38] joey_: You bet it is.

[09:39] Well i just booted my pc,and the theme looks like this. http://www.dodaj.rs/f/3J/om/3p0KMi7e/screenshot-from-2012-11-.png There are white parts that shouldn't be there.

[09:41] thank you for your help everyone [09:41] usr13: Yeah,i have it installed but that is not a solution for this problem. [09:41] joey_: What?

[09:43] Souravaj, see man page for set [09:44] savio : there is no manula entry for set [09:44] *manual [09:44] Souravaj: help set [09:44] nothing work [09:44] Souravaj: Or better, "help set | less". (set is an internal bash command, and thus doesn't have a separate man page). [09:45] actually i execute it so i am little afraid tht it doesnt create any problem now or later [09:46] Souravaj, no worries it just list current setting [09:46] thanx [09:50] hi folks [09:51] have problems with wired-connection off and on ubuntu on lap [09:52] sram, describe your problem in detail.

[10:15] usr13: you are missing the -f option, which forces fsck to check a filesystem that seems to be clean. [10:15] Force a re-write ? [10:15] wlosio: Y [10:15] bekks: So, we should use -fy ? [10:16] usr13: No -y, just -f [10:16] Repeatedly declared clone blocks.? [10:16] wlosio: Y [10:17] bekks: Oh, ok. [10:17] Not found /lost+found, Clean? Y?? [10:17] wlosio: Y ...

[10:43] and esiest [10:43] hay guys. [10:43] brandon420, just configure your apache config correctly [10:43] brandon420: That's the best advise, take it or leave it.

[11:00] usr13: you shouldn't suggest people to get the driver from nvidia's site [11:00] usr13, I want to install the drivers from software sources like I did during the Alphas [11:00] argh, seriously so apparently X/fglrx wants stuff to be in usr/lib64 but everything is in usr/lib [11:00] symlinking doesn't fix it it seems [11:00] japro, oh goodness don't do that === qos is now known as qos|away [11:00] graingert: Then go to Hardware Drivers [11:00] usr13, they don't exist in 12.10 [11:01] usr13, http://i.imgur.com/xH9DF.png [11:01] usr13, jockey-gtk doesn't exist [11:01] the addational-drivers tool is under a tab in the software-sources tool in 12.10 [11:02] Is opening powerpoint presentations a security risk on Ubuntu (using LibreOffice)?

[11:03] can someone please help me....i'm on ubuntu 12.10 and it doesn't detect my hardware raid [11:03] yesterday it worked fine and i can't figure out what has changed [11:03] japro, on Ubuntu, you just need to install fglrx-updates and give up the possibility of installing a vanilla version. [11:03] graingert: it's there for me fwiw - this appears to only be affecting your system [11:03] so purge fglrx and install fglrx-updates? [11:04] japro, if you don't want such dependence on Ubuntu packages and just run the latest, you should switch to a community distro, like Arch.

[11:05] time to reinstall [11:05] japro, the fglrx distributions makes some assumptions which are not true in Ubuntu. [11:05] usr13, nope [11:05] japro, you can of course work around this by analyzing the package contents, but that requires some technical skill that you might not have or you might not care about. [11:05] usr13, same as without [11:06] japro, does that help? [11:06] so can i install fglrx from the repositories ornot? [11:06] japro, I could. [11:06] graingert: nope, what? [11:06] well i guess i know you can since i had it working until yesterday [11:06] usr13, same as without [11:06] japro, and what did you do then? [11:06] and now without me even touching apt get or anything as far as i know it didn't work today [11:06] japro, and what version of Ubuntu are your running?

[11:07] usr13, sudo [11:07] graingert: I'll rephrase - of the people in the channel right now, it looks like no one else who has the problem knows how to make it work - I would recommend asking later, trying the forums, or filing a bug [11:08] japro, if you read the documentation, you can see trouble shooting steps. [11:08] Hi. I've installed 7zip but it's not available in the main menu. [11:08] graingert: sudo software-properties-gtk click on Additional Drivers tab [11:08] NimeshNeema: 7zip package just adds command line tools and features to the default archiver gui tools.. it does NOT have its own GUI [11:08] usr13, It's the same as without running it as root. It's the same symptoms [11:08] invariant, documentation found where? [11:08] Click on the Additional Drivers tab in the Software Sources menu. [11:09] 12.04 still uses the additional-drivers/jockey-gtk tool i thought. ;) [11:09] usr13, http://i.imgur.com/xH9DF.png [11:09] dr_willis, I'm on 12.10 [11:09] o/ [11:09] otherwise I'd be in ubuntu-1 [11:10] graingert, what graphics card?

[11:13] what is the prob [11:13] i tend to just install the nvida-current package. [11:13] brandon420: Is this a wired connection? [11:13] usr13, also 12.10 uses the latest drivers with kmod:nvidia_experimental_310 [11:14] brandon420: Though IRC can be one of the most resilient protocalls when it comes to dealing with lag, low bandwidth, and dropped packets so that could be the only reason it's staying alive. Try "ping 8.8.8.8" and if you get little or no packet loss, during the time browsing is failing, then you probably just want to change DNS servers (and 8.8.8.8 is a nice easy to remember and reliable DNS server :). [11:14] zeroblu3: Hardware RAID or FakeRAID? [11:15] Jordan_U, i made it through bios settings [11:15] Jordan_U: You are assuming brandon420's problem is DNS. Is it? [11:15] Jordan_U, I get a response from 8.8.8.8. but nothing else works.. [11:15] brandon420: ping av.com [11:16] i pinged google and got nothing [11:16] brandon420: cat /etc/resolv.conf [11:16] usr13: I wasn't assuming anything, that's why I said that it could be almost anything and proposed a test. [11:16] chrome says that my dns look up failed. [11:16] Jordan_U: Appears your assumption is correct. [11:16] usr13: But DNS failure does seem the most likely culprite. [11:17] So how do I go among fixing this? [11:17] brandon420: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf [11:17] lol [11:17] brandon420: what nameserver are you using? [11:18] literally nothing else -internet wise- is working besides irc [11:18] brandon420: Open nm-connection-editor and try changing the configured DNS server to 8.8.8.8 [11:18] brandon420: Are you using DHCP to connect to your LAN? [11:19] yes [11:19] brandon420: Note that once you lose this current IRC connection you probably won't be able to connect again, as that will require another DNS lookup. [11:19] Everything is set to automatic [11:19] And nothing looks out of the ordinary in my modem router config [11:20] sup yo? [11:20] jot down the ip# of the freenode servers. ;) [11:20] brandon420: as Jordan_U suggests, you should edit IP configuration via nm-connection-editor [11:20] fuck [11:20] i dont wanna lose you guys.

It is one of the "automatic" isps [11:23] hey guys, for those that use your laptops, with the middle mouse click we can auto paste highlighted text, but on the touch pad, that activates functions to move/resize window. [11:24] brandon420: as Jordan_U suggests, you should edit IP configuration via nm-connection-editor and use 8.8.8.8 as nameserver [11:24] brandon420: you can still hardcode a nameserver [11:24] anyone knows a quick fix for that? [11:24] brandon420: How about http://140.211.167.103/ ? (freenode's webchat, which you can use in case you get disconnected), or you could also configure your client to connect to 193.219.128.49 . [11:24] Thank you. I can get to the webchat [11:25] nvm i just answered it for myself, top left on the mouse pad does the trick [11:25] So in the wireless settings >ipv4> additional dns servers? [11:26] brandon420: Yes, just use 8.8.8.8 [11:26] only one [11:27] hello! [11:27] brandon420: See what your are using now.

How do they manage the network, share files, but manage permissions, etc? without active directory, what can they be using? [11:32] agu10^_, you either educate yourself, or you pay a consultant to do the move. [11:32] usr13: Have you read the link I sent you? [11:32] of course invariant, that's what im asking [11:32] yes [11:32] It says there is a symlink. [11:33] agu10^_, what are you asking? [11:33] Anyone good with network manager? I seem to always get something messed up when I use desktop distros [11:33] agu10^_, the educating yourself part involves educating yourself. [11:33] take offtopic speak to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:34] I dont freaking get it!

[11:35] i want to start with that technology. i don't have any windows servers or anything [11:36] agu10^_: this is the ubuntu support channel and your questions are not really on-topic here [11:36] but if i have to install something new for a small company [11:36] I'd rather let them use linux, mac and windows instead of going for microsoft enterprise services [11:36] agu10^_: take offtopic elsewhere [11:36] Jordan_U, usr13 Thanks for the help. I am about to reset my router settings. If i'm not back in 15 minutes call the police!

[11:37] in #windows-server they DO help D: [11:37] brandon420: Ok :) [11:37] brandon420: You shouldn't need to change your router settings to change your DNS server (though it is true that if you have multiple machines that might be most convenient). [11:37] I'm pretty much left without network manager, tried uninstalling it and using ifconfig/route but still no networking, what get's this stuff mangled? === Guest72701 is now known as gregor3000 [11:37] agu10^_: I would consult with a professional [11:37] nowayride1: What's the problem? === MATRIX is now known as ASHER1 [11:38] Hello, i use a "green pc" with ubuntu 12.04 as NAS,local server and other. Now i am thinking that instead to use my local server as "download directory" may be nice to send it the link to download the resource so i can switch off my computer! [11:39] Jordan_U, I have one of those really fancy routers, and in lamest terms I have no freaking idea what i am doing. Resetting would seem to be the quickest/easiest option in this situation. If not, i will be back on the irc asking more questions. === gandaro__ is now known as gandaro_ [11:40] Had network manager, tried to set static IP, lots of issues and tried to use ifconfig to fix it, tried removing 70-persistent which stopped generating, removed network manager to do it the "regular" Linux way, but ifconfig and route still won't create a valid connection, ping just hangs [11:40] nowayride1: Do you have a DHCP server running on your router? [11:40] it could be a plugin for browser, but the unique solution that i thinked is to use a web service on server...do u suggest other solutions? [11:40] invariant, well, it turns out installing glew actually was the culprit... to get fglrx to work i have to apparently use the (dirty) fix of symlinking lib64 to lib... but the install script of glew actually created a lib64 directory overwriting the symlink... [11:40] Yeah but it's set for .100 and higher and I'm trying .11, plus trying to use dhcp completely hangs and never resolves [11:41] japro, you didn't say anything about glew to me. [11:41] !glew [11:41] Static is working for another computer and dhcp is working for my phone [11:41] japro, what is glew? [11:41] nowayride1: So the DHCP pool is 100 and up? [11:42] Yes [11:42] can someone please tell me ,what will be the regex to match a 7 letter word where first 3 characters [0-2] and last 3 characters [4-6] should be same ? [11:42] they can be any characters , but they should be same on either side. as in the regex should retain the previously matched 3 chars [11:42] its and extension loader for opengl and i needed the newest version... [11:42] nowayride1: Just edit /etc/network/interfaces and set your IP info there. [11:42] so a library [11:42] I've tried that too [11:42] ge0rJey: you should ask in #programming [11:43] nowayride1: Example(s): http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [11:43] Was just on that page to double check [11:43] nowayride1: That didn't work?

[11:50] Diff cable nope [11:50] I accidentally unplugged my router lol [11:50] O [11:50] hahah [11:51] This just baffles me because every time I touch a networking config with anything that has network manager it ends up in reinstalling the OS [11:51] Is there something somewhere else in the OS that makes it really touchy?

This happens even after 'apt-get update'. Since libfuse2 is 3.1, I want the libfuse-dev version that depends on 3.1, which is what it does according to the package list on web. Is there any risk that 'apt-get -f install' will get the wrong version of libfuse-dev?

This happens whenever I upgrade install of fresh installing. [15:20] SouravAJ: if it's an upstart job (mysql should be), use overrides as described in upstart's cookbook: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files . If it's still using an old sysvinit-style script (I believe apache2 still does), then install and use sysv-rc-conf (and stop it from running on run level 2). You can tell a job is upstart-style if it has a .conf file in "/etc/init" (read closely, not [15:20] "/etc/init.d") [15:21] it must work fine [15:21] exaile is not working [15:21] Kiranvotio try a few, then decide what player suits your needs best [15:21] rhythombox too it aint loads the music files MonkeyDust [15:22] Kiranvotio you have my advice [15:22] yeah [15:22] jrib: thanx i got it [15:23] how do i see what filesystem a disk uses?

Then I found and tried this script 'fixplymouth' and it's back :D [15:59] best fix for plymouth i find is ti just disable it. ;) [15:59] ohh :) sgerbino [15:59] lol dr_willis :D [16:00] how do i run java as root [16:00] Is there no way I can allow everyone without having to whitelist certain IPs to removely connect to my mysql? All the tutorials I find make me whitelist certain IPs [16:00] labcoattech: check out your grub configs and the output of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to see if its detecting windows. sudo update-grub may have it rescan/set up windows back on the menus [16:01] cuddylier: Setup iptables to filter out certain IPs. [16:01] cuddylier: its normally practice. block everything, allow only friends to enter. ;) [16:02] update-grub only found [16:02] dr_willis I want to allow everyone though [16:02] dr_willis * [16:02] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-18-generic [16:02] Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic [16:02] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic [16:02] Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic [16:02] Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin [16:02] labcoattech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:02] jo wassab jo? [16:03] labcoattech: check that /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is executable and see if you can run it and see what output it gives [16:03] Is there a way to allow localhost access as well as remote access? [16:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365248/ [16:03] cuddylier: Sure. Allow remote access, and localhost access will work, too. [16:03] I imagine mysql has some settings soemwhere cuddylier for what ips to allow. [16:03] Is Ubuntu 12.10 an LTS version or not yet? [16:03] sorry I am new to linux [16:04] bekks Even when I bind mysql to a certain IP? [16:04] #mysql may knwo more perhaps. [16:04] good idea :P [16:04] cuddylier: Binding it to an IP allow remote access. [16:04] Sach: 12.10 releease will never be lts [16:04] Sach 12.04 is LTS, 14.04 will be the next [16:05] esto q pedo [16:05] q pinche pedo [16:05] the results from update-grub was http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365248/ [16:05] esto pa q sirve [16:05] MonkeyDust: To upgrade from 10.04, do I have to go through all the versions to get to 12.04 or can I jump straight to 12.04 through a terminal command? [16:05] q pedo [16:06] me confunde todo esto [16:06] Sach dunno, i fresh install each time [16:06] !es [16:06] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [16:06] no you can upgrade to 12.04 direclty [16:06] Kiranvotio: Do you know what command I neeed? [16:07] Sach: do-release-upgrade [16:07] bekks: but how do I specify that I want 12.04? [16:07] labcoattech: looks like its not seeing the windows install at all.. OR the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is not executable so its not running. try running /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [16:07] aaaaaaaa [16:07] how do i run it? [16:08] why to go for command just update manager is enough to do it [16:08] labcoattech: /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [16:08] Kiranvotio: yes, but update manager makes me go through 11.10 before I can get to 12.04. I want to bypass 11.10. [16:09] Sach: Then you are on 11.04, correct? [16:09] bekks: yes [16:09] Sach: Then you cant update to 12.04 directly, since 11.04 is no LTS. [16:10] getting command not found when I type 30_os-prober in the grub.d directory [16:10] bekks: but update manager prompts me to upgrade to 11.10 [16:10] Sach: Using 10.04, you could update to 12.04, because 10.04 (and 12.04) is a LTS. [16:10] Sach: you'll need to upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04. Or you can clean install the release you desire and restore your user data from backup [16:10] in software sources you need to change the option under the tab updates [16:10] Sach: You cannot update to 12.04 directly. You have to update to 11.10 first. [16:10] Kiranvotio: That wont change a thing. [16:11] set it to lon term supports only then you can upgrade the system to 12.04 [16:11] update [16:11] Kiranvotio: Ignoring intermediate release is just not supported. [16:11] Sach backup and fresh install may be faster and more efficient [16:11] dr_willis: getting command not found when I type 30_os-prober in the grub.d directory [16:11] Sach: and cleaner [16:12] labcoattech: use the full path ===> /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober OR if its in the local directory you use the ./commandname type syntax [16:12] thanks [16:12] labcoattech: also use ls -l to see if its excecutable or not [16:13] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365274/ [16:14] just reload in theupdate manager that would flags the 12.04 upgrade [16:15] hello [16:16] hello [16:17] Kiranvotio better use TAB to autocomplete nicks [16:18] labcoattech: id check whatever tool you used to tweak your grub. it may have turned off the os-prober somehow. it seems to be seeing windows. make sure the 20_osprober file is excutable and try sudo update-grub [16:18] ok MonkeyDust [16:18] Does asterisks work (*) like in bash for autocomplete? [16:19] ls foo* [16:19] Kir* [16:19] :) the shell expands the * befor the ls command sees the information [16:19] No then [16:19] Yeah jjust wanted to check in IRC [16:19] so im not clear on what you are asking. ;) [16:20] I said 'No then' just after you said your first comment, as a reply to myself because I did not see yous ;) [16:20] hi [16:22] Hi, is there a way to create a bootable iso usb stick without using unetbootin? [16:22] fmor Ubuntu 12.10 [16:22] *from [16:22] labcoattech: have you tried removing old kernels? [16:22] kronk: sure, use the usb-creator app [16:22] Hi all! I'm experiencing slowness (100kb max) on my network interface on Ubuntu 12.10. I'm a little lost as to what I need to do to fix the issue. Any ideas? [16:23] just sayin Hi [16:23] ActionParsnip, E: Unable to locate package usb-creator [16:23] hello! should i move my stuff before upgrading system [16:23] I used grub customizer to select windows 7 as the default os, clicked save, restart and now windows 7 is nolonger in the grub menu [16:23] MENU>ADMINSTARATION > [16:23] kronk: its in a default install, search dash for it [16:24] ActionParsnip, that app only does ubuntu iso's ? [16:24] MrNorm: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sysctl; cat ./sysctl | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf > /dev/null; sudo sysctl -p [16:24] yeah what else you want ? [16:24] you can use dd from terminal to make bootable usb [16:25] Kiranvotio, I need to burn an ISO for another distro [16:25] without unetbootin [16:25] wait [16:25] kronk: it does others. As BurningPants says, you can use dd to make a bootable uSB / SD card but it won'y have the option of persistence (if you need it) [16:25] ActionParsnip [16:25] Oops [16:26] ActionParsnip, it doesn't do the fedora 17 iso that I have [16:26] ActionParsnip: thanks, I've applied and I'm bouncing the box now [16:26] logon wondows os you'll have a lot of otptions [16:26] options [16:26] MrNorm: should add more memory to networking, makes thinsg a bit better [16:26] but you could create a storage partition for data persistence [16:26] kronk: try usb-creator-gtk [16:26] Kiranvotio, I'm asking for a way to write a fedora 17 iso to usb from ubuntu 12.10 [16:27] ActionParsnip, that's the same application [16:27] kronk: it's not [16:27] ActionParsnip, in that case, I couldn't find the original app you anmed [16:27] *named [16:28] kronk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365314/ [16:28] i am waiting for someome to answeer your query [16:28] kronk: why are they completely different versions if they are the same app? [16:28] kronk: how is that possible, let alone concievable? [16:28] ActionParsnip, usb-creator-gtk only does Ubuntu iso's [16:28] ActionParsnip, what other application could I use? [16:29] i'm waiting for someone to answer mine :) should i move my stuff to another partition before upgrading ubuntu? [16:29] ActionParsnip The new sysctl didn't do the trick unfortunately. I can get files from the server at about 9MB/s, but sending files to the server / downloading files on the server usually hits a hall at 100K/s. That new config added 40K/s to the overall speed, but it's not quite there. === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [16:29] ActionParsnip, I would use unetbootin but it doesn't support fedora 17 [16:29] not the one from the repo anyway [16:29] MrNorm: also try disabling ipv6 [16:29] and the one from sourceforge has a bug stopping it from working [16:29] Anyone can help me? Filezilla not connecting. I have ubuntu12.04 [16:29] ActionParsnip what's weird is that SABNZBd can do 2.2MB/s over the interet using the same connection.. Which is odd [16:30] kronk: if you tell it to use the ISO, does it give an error? === pasha is now known as Guest2373 [16:30] ActionParsnip already disabled it to help troubleshoot [16:30] MrNorm: if you run: sudo lshw -C network what network chip are you using? [16:30] ActionParsnip, unetbootin doesn't start (the one from sourceforge) no error and unetbootin just doesn't haev fedora 17 in it's supported list [16:31] kronk: it doesn't need to be in the list [16:31] eter_surfer: no, you should always backup (copy, not move) to a offline medium [16:31] ActionParsnip, it asks me to select a distro name from the list. What do I select? [16:31] ActionParsnip: Output from that command: http://pastebin.com/S1YVrGSQ [16:31] ActionParsnip, it asks me to select a distro name from the list. What do I select? [16:31] kronk: check the site for compatibility, i its ok then manually download the ISO,MD5 test it then tell unetbootin to use that [16:31] ActionParsnip, I don't know what option to select [16:31] kronk: none, look a little further down, see the ISO bit, use that [16:31] right [16:31] let me see [16:32] kronk: so the 'list' is nothing [16:32] kronk: you have the ISO, you tell unetbootin to use that.... [16:32] kronk: did you even see that option? The app is childishly simple [16:33] m1rach4n: thanks [16:33] ActionParsnip, I know see that you can bypass the list [16:33] thanks [16:33] kronk: reading is good [16:33] I usually dd the iso... since my boards can recognize it... [16:33] ActionParsnip, it's easy to miss something [16:33] Anyone can help me? Filezilla not connecting. I have ubuntu12.04 [16:34] kronk: before making choices and judgements, read al the available detail, then jump [16:34] ActionParsnip, it is easy to overlook details sometimes. I am only Human [16:34] abailarri: can you connect to localhost from the server itself? [16:34] kronk: hence my advice ;) [16:34] ActionParsnip, I'm sure you're perfect [16:34] and will never make a mistake [16:35] hi [16:35] abailarri: have you tried another server? [16:35] kronk: didn't say I didn't. I'm advising how you can avoid them more frequently [16:35] are there any IT consulting companys in the USA, firms that sell you to big companys and pays you bad (outsourcing) [16:35] Anyone had a chance to look at the paste? :) [16:35] are there any IT consulting companys in the USA, firms that sell you to big companys and pays you bad (outsourcing)? [16:36] ActionParsnip, it's possible to read something indepth and still make a mistake [16:36] m1rach4n, Yes, and does not connect to none [16:36] because of inbuilt assumptions [16:36] thats an idea, i was sick thinking about browsing whole file system. thx again [16:36] I'm not a moron [16:37] kronk: well, it seems you missed the info, reading the whole app shows you can use an ISO. Rather than just seeing the first drop down and not seeing what you expect [16:37] ActionParsnip, correct. It's still possible to make a mistake even when you are well informed. Please stop being a dick [16:37] kronk: just a friendly advise, not being a dick at all. [16:40] MrNorm: if you run: ifconfig; lsb_release -a what is output please? [16:40] !volunteers | kronk [16:40] kronk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:41] ActionParsnip sure: http://pastebin.com/2W5AXyDm :) [16:41] BlueEagle, volunteer or not, there's no need to be rude to someone by telling them to RTM. [16:41] BluesKaj, ^ [16:42] MrNorm: you have a 10% error packets recieved. [16:42] I saw that as I posted the link. That can't be good [16:42] MrNorm: tried a different cable, or port on the router / switch? [16:42] I wonder why I can download from the server so quickly then? It's just uploads to the server that I seem to have issues with :/ [16:42] abailarri: firewall checked? [16:42] I can try one , I have a few cables [16:43] kronk, he wasn't rude ..he was giving you good advice ..take it or leave it , that's up to you . [16:43] m1rach4n, I don't have firewall activated [16:43] BluesKaj, he's gone. lets move on [16:43] MrNorm: is it 100Mb ethernet? [16:44] yeah bazhang , just noticed , no need to move on if he's gone :) [16:44] ActionParsnip the cabling? I think it's standard cat 5e to a 1gbps switch. Never had issues with the cabling in the past [16:44] abailarri: then show the log :) [16:44] MrNorm: is the router 1Gbps too? [16:44] m1rach4n, the log in filezilla? [16:45] The router isn't, but the switch is separate and network transfers are happening internally. Both devices are on the 1Gbps switch. [16:45] m1rach4n, only says it can not connect [16:45] MrNorm: try:  sudo apt-get install ethtool; sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full [16:45] hello i got when tried to install teamviewer on my 12.10 64 bit. It gave me error libwin.dll.so . So i try to remove the old on by dpkg -r teamviewer but not removed . And i again download the latest 64bit now it ask to install billions of 32bit dependency. I decide to not install teamviewer so how can clean the repos pls? [16:46] ActionParsnip OK, done. I'm assuming that's forced the card into a particular state? [16:46] MrNorm: may help [16:47] MrNorm: its active immediately :) [16:47] MrNorm: sudo lshw -C network will show the state [16:47] hi, I lost my sound system on my lenovo X121e, when I attached it via HDMI on a TV. How can I reactivate it ? [16:47] any idea why the battery meter on my lapto is only accurate right after boot, and then fails to update the rest of the time the computer is on? === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf [16:48] abailarri: yea, and the lines before "Error: Could not connect to server" ? [16:48] willi44: use the sound app in dash, check the output device [16:48] ActionParsnip thanks, but it hasn't worked :( http://cl.ly/image/1o0e3O2Z343f .. I'm sending a file over SSH in transmit with the same results. SMB transfers are pants too [16:48] my wireless device is not working [16:49] Well that's not the screenshot I hoped for! [16:49] there is is a dummy now ! [16:49] ActionParsnip .. anyway, it was uploading at 100Kb/s again [16:49] does anyone know of any software that can help me add windows 7 back to the grub boot menu [16:49] MrNorm: so we're ok now?

Transfers going into the server are still slow. Downloading from the server are still fine! [16:50] labcoattech: what is the output of: sudo update-grub; dpkg -l | grep linux-image; uname -a [16:50] inhies: tried that did not work [16:50] labcoattech: please use a pastebin to host [16:51] ActionParsnip I find it strange that some apps like SABNZBd can also download at my 2.2MBps (maxing out our internet connection), but a standard wget only downloads at 100Kbps. [16:51] ActionParsnip internal transfers can download from the server fine, but uploads to the server are so slow :( [16:51] dpkg failed to install teamviewer on 64 for its many dependency. I don't want to run apt-get -f install . How can i clean it please? [16:51] guys. what is the default method that ubuntu is using to get installed on Macbook pros?? EFI/bios?? grub/syslinux? [16:52] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365388/ [16:52] MrNorm: i'd try a new cable, try a different port [16:52] ActionParsnip: I'll do that now. Brb! [16:52] labcoattech: hmm, weird [16:54] hey guys, I got a question. I FINALLY got a CD-ROM drive (or burner, either way) so I can do a fresh install of ubuntu, but my computer, inside the OS, doesn't recognize it. I went to disk utility and it confirms that it's plugged, but it tells me on the SMART status "Not Supported." Is there any way fix this? [16:54] thinking it might be easier to use windows 7 install disc and restore the windows boot manager [16:54] hi all. I want to install ubuntu onto an existing partition, but when I select the partition that I want to use it asks me to enter a size for the partition. the size that's filled in by default doesn't correspond with the partition size that's in the partition table. the size in the dialog is 1 MB larger. how do I know what size the partition really is? [16:55] mibbit, you can find partition information on the Disk Utility app :) [16:55] dpkg -r teamviewer does not work for me ... Please help me . Without cleaning it i can't install anything using apt-get [16:55] abailarri: tried other clients? I can connect to it... [16:55] mibbit32434, disk utility will tell you what your disks are, and their size. [16:55] food12: pastebin what happens [16:56] how do i make a public share from an ext4 mount? [16:56] what is "disk utility" the partitioner in the installation wizard? [16:56] hey guys, when i plug my headphones only one side is playing sound. I have tried with two different headphones and both work well on other devices (ipod, stereo, ...). Does any of you has any idea of what is could be causing it? [16:56] diverdude: By sharing it using a file sharing protocol liek NFS or CIFS. [16:57] labcoattech: if you can get someone who dual boots to see what files the WIndows OS is in (probably /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober) [16:57] labcoattech: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110698/add-windows-to-my-boot-menu [16:57] ActionParsnip new cable, new port.. No change :( .. Could it be something weird with the card I'm using? I'm considering going out and buying a new card. [16:58] Anyone familiar with persistently defining static routes in Ubuntu? I have two interfaces with the same network, but need to make sure the routes out are only on one. [16:58] mibbit32434, when you boot up a live USB it'll give you the option to try out ubuntu, or install it. Choose to try it out, and the disk utility should be under the "system" menu on the top taskbar (for me) or on the software search [16:58] ok, thanks for the help. I guess I'll figure it out [16:58] ActionParsnip: this is the output of 30_os-prober http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365274/ [16:58] hello [16:58] Helllppp. For a few weeks i have been recording my desktop with RecordMyDesktop, all has been fine. Today I did a recording and I do not have audio. When I open up Pulse Audio, I get a response from my webcam on the input devices. Where may the connection be broken, and how do I remedy it? [16:58] Flyzoola: I see, thanks [16:58] how do I get vbox guest additions installed in ubuntu? [16:58] m1rach4n, sometimes connects. [16:59] I tried the virtualbox-guest-additions package and the 'install guest additions' option, but I'm still stuck with a tiny guest :( [16:59] beaky: By pressing Host+d in the vbox guest window, and mounting and installing the additions - as described in the vbox manual.

In PulseAudio, my webcam is registering, and I can play other audio through my speakers [17:02] m1rach4n, 10.04 LST. I know "it's only supported for another 6 months" and whatnot, but it's the best I can do in my current situation (BIOS doesn't support USB booting, no floppy or optical drive) [17:02] it says the headers for the current running kernel were not found [17:02] I am using version 12.10 :D [17:02] bjrohan: not something I ever used [17:02] beaky: Then install them, it tells you even how to do it.

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

[17:57] hi, I've got problem with installing new kernel 3.6.6 , could anyone help ? [17:57] kodak: you need to reboot, the parent is the parent of ALL processes. So killing PID 1 will make the OS hang etc. [17:58] menda: how are you installing it, and why are you installing it and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [17:58] ActionParsnip, that sounds like a pretty harmful problem with vlc(or is not vlc bugging) [17:58] kodak: possibly, did you use 'nohup' when you ran it? [17:59] ActionParsnip: I've got currently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on USB stick and I want to install 3.6.6 kernel with RT patch (Real Time) [17:59] ActionParsnip, not that i know of, i just opened a movie like i always do [17:59] menda: miing kernels from other releases is not advised nor supported [17:59] kodak: ok thats good.

[18:00] I've got some errors connected with USB [18:00] ActionParsnip: hmm i dont have a file name /etc/exports Do i need to install something then or can i just create it? [18:01] kodak: I've seen processes have a parent of 1 [18:01] diverdude: you'll need to install the samba package [18:01] I used some tutorials from Internet , first "make menuconfig" then "make -j5" then "make modules_install install" [18:01] ActionParsnip, i take the hint ;) thanks for helping :) [18:01] kodak: ehhhh... you tried to follow wikipedia's direction right?

I can't seem to go above 1024x768 resolution even with VGA or HDMI cable [18:50] everyone left [18:51] maybe you need drivers [18:51] Malgorath: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc === szal__ is now known as szal [18:52] let me get in the box, I'm about 300 feet from it [18:52] checking for ubuntu new release thank you parsnip [18:53] ActionParsnip, precise [18:53] hi. I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, and since then Ubuntu automount my other internal partitions as if they were external (in /media/me/nameofpartition).

[19:11] ActionParsnip, I can't upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 via CLI can I? [19:11] T_A_N_K: ubiquity is the installer app, so upgrading that and gparted may help [19:11] hi I connect my macbook to my wireless network, I get ip, but cannot connect to internet... nor to lan...

It becomes fuzzy only at high volumes [19:15] T_A_N_K: if you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity gparted you will upgrade the apps needed in the installation phase [19:15] T_A_N_K: why do you need a PPA for that? [19:16] Idk, ubiquity is also stuck, and i cannot end it [19:16] brandon420: quantal uses pulseaudio [19:16] T_A_N_K: what message is it showing?

I have a problem that's been gnawing at me since around the time of Karmic->Natty and persists all the way up through Precise. Resume from suspend refuses to turn my laptop screen back on (not even the backlight). Google searches have been utterly futile. The laptop is alive and well after resume, just no screen. [19:19] er make that Karmic->Lucid to be more exact. [19:19] laptop is a Dell Inspiron 9200. [19:20] is there a way to allow windows to cover a panel, instead of using autohide? === qos is now known as qos|away [19:22] walren: which panel? [19:23] http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/update-on-netflix.html this rocks [19:23] VanessaE, turn off your system remove your battery after 10seconds put it back then it should boot up then we would know what next to do okay [19:23] hi [19:24] someone else seeing those errors after updating? "*** glibc detected *** racoon: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007fa421e5a" [19:24] sure thing. gimme a couple minutes (I'm rebooting from the live CD to check if suspend/resume works there) [19:24] m1rach4n: not sure how to answer that.. I'm using lubuntu and I just right clicked the default panel that comes with it, and created another panel. [19:24] Hi, I want my Home Folder to show files and folder by List per default. I mean, don't need to CTRL+2 anymore. Someone could help? Thx :) [19:25] Some how i am using alsa mixer instead of pulseaudio, can someone explain how to fix this?

[19:29] VanessaE, i guess it is back to normal right [19:29] pradeep: yes - it always boots fine though. Resume from Suspend-to-RAM is where the problem lies. [19:29] skyjumper, jut ask your question [19:29] pradeep: just want to know how well it works [19:30] Hi, I want my Home Folder to show files and folder by List per default.

[19:35] ActionParsnip: trying now [19:35] Some how i am using alsa mixer instead of pulseaudio, can someone explain how to fix this? [19:35] ActionParsnip: it says connecting one line and cursor just blinks [19:36] ActionParsnip: now it says Ign and Err and "something wiciked happened resolving" [19:36] brandon420: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils pulseaudio-module-x11 [19:36] lost4spinz: i cannot ping my gateway. When I ping 192.168.11.1 it says unreachable [19:36] pradeep: I think I solved it. kernel boot parameter "nomodeset".

May help [19:38] ActionParsnip: ok, I will try [19:38] ActionParsnip: thank you [19:39] lost4spinz: may help, seems the routing is a bit messed up [19:39] lost4spinz: the updates may just sort that out [19:42] pradeep: found it on a harshli..er...Arch Linux forum post. I will edit the Ubuntu Wiki page, DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume , to mention what I did in relation to it as a potential workaround. [19:44] Hello How To Set Default Language English In UbUNTU [19:45] I am doing a release upgrade and it is asking whether I should replace certain files [19:45] How can I connect to a wireless network that isn't displayed in the list? [19:46] VanessaE, i found something too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto [19:47] ActionParsnip: i figure something out very weird [19:47] lost4spinz: sup [19:47] ActionParsnip: i plugged in power to laptop so it did not lose battery. Then I can connect! [19:47] ActionParsnip: how can this be??? [19:47] Hi. Just one quick question. How much is your RAM usage right now? [19:47] ActionParsnip: and when I unplug power then I can't connect (no ping or google or anything) anymore [19:48] lost4spinz: maybe its a weird ACPI config, Macs are far from standard [19:48] lost4spinz: sounds like a bug, or dumb mac hardware (probably the latter) [19:48] ActionParsnip: ok well I will update to 12.10 from 12.04. You think it is good idea? [19:49] lost4spinz: I'd check for bugs reported. 12.10 has a shorter support than 12.04 === Adeeel is now known as Adeel [19:49] ActionParsnip: ok thanks === Adeel is now known as Adeeel [19:51] lost4spinz: check for bugs, there may be a fix [19:51] lost4spinz: also check the ubuntu mac guides [19:51] What is a normal ram usage in ubuntu 12.10? [19:52] does anybody know where I can find more information about why cheese crashes when I try to record a webcam video? any log file? [19:52] wonx: in Unity last time I checked in 12.04, about 800MB [19:52] Okay, another question. How come my router doesn't accept my key, that does work one my other ubuntus? [19:52] wonx: desktop would go to about 700MB for itself alone [19:52] hello all! [19:53] i am having a few problems after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, could anyone help me please? [19:53] is it the right channel for some help on ubuntu bugs? [19:53] krababbe1: ubuntu itself, with firefox (plus skype, dropbox and empathy on the background), consumes 1500MB [19:54] I think it's far too much. When I open a few more programs (thunderbird, libreoffice, rhythmbox), I almost reaches my 3GB limit [19:54] wonx: a lighter install is about 40MB with one terminal window open. Yes, apps will use RAM too :) [19:54] do i need to format usb to use usb-creator-gtk? [19:54] But i remember that previous versions of ubuntu were muuuch lighter [19:54] wonx: depends on the applications you run [19:54] I rarely reached the 1GB limit [19:55] wonx: well RAM became very cheap, and many apps use it [19:55] firefox uses about 350MB (tree tabs opened), compiz itself around 200MB, rhythmbox 200MB more, zeitgeist-fts (what's that?) 150MB, etc... [19:55] wonx: features = more ram used. If you want less ram used, you use simpler software [19:56] lost4spinz: for example I run ubuntu with about 30mb ram [19:56] wonx: compiz, or unity, not sure, went often about 700MB for me [19:56] Plus... is it really necessary that each empathy conversation window takes 50MB or ram? [19:56] wonx: but my windows don't wobble, it's the price i pay [19:56] ok, in case it is, I would like some suggestions on why Ubuntu, which so far (for more than 5 years) worked a treat and now, after automatically (i dont understand how) upgrading to 12.04, its very buggy indeed [19:57] MrPiracy: ask and see [19:57] balam: ubuntu does not automatically upgrade, you have to tell it to [19:57] wonx: debateable :) [19:57] But I have the impression that since unity became the default desktop, ram usage has skyrocketed [19:57] do i need to format usb to use usb-creator-gtk? [19:57] ActionParsnip, kinda hard to put it in simple words, but i will try .... [19:57] I remember using ubuntu in my pentium III and it went pretty smooth === harry is now known as Guest99206 [19:58] (right now i'm using debian in that pentium III, and works fine) [19:58] wonx: I'm using 400Mb RAM here...not much really, nearly the same as in Lucid, maybe not as light as Gutsy but still not bad at ll [19:58] I must have done something wrong then. I was surprised to see it reboot as "precise pangolin" when I didnt ask for anything [19:58] wonx: the system partition is a sniff under 3Gb....... [19:58] Right now, I'm browsing the web (3 tabs) and listening to music, and i'm using 2GB [19:58] wonx: using a full Unity Shell + Compiz + Gnome [19:59] wonx: probably due to firefox [19:59] after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 I noticed that the first boot went to 12.04 instead of the new one, after that a simple reboot would go to 12.10 without me doing anything different. Then again, after a new reboot it goes back to 12.04 and back to 12.10 and so on [19:59] yes, firefox is the application that consumes the most ram [19:59] lost4spinz, I'm stuck with this version now, it seems very difficult to downgrade [19:59] wonx: Gmail + facebook + twitter in Chrome and I go up to 620Mb used..... [19:59] anybody knows what zeitgeist-fs is? [19:59] I tried to delete older kernels with Ubuntu Tweak, but it doesnt seem to have deleted the previous version properly [19:59] keeps bugging, no support provided. [19:59] wonx: if you are not running out of ram, you shouldn't care. We have ram to use it! [20:00] wonx, zeitgeist keeps track of recently used applications and files [20:00] But I used Gmail+facebook+twitter in my old computer without problems.. (512MB ram) [20:00] Aha [20:01] balam: oh, well you should say what the problems with it you have are. 12.04 is probably the most solid ubuntu version i think [20:01] wonx: depends what is in the tabs. Thing is though, newer Ubuntus aren't more resource intensive [20:02] And anyone else noticed that opening an empathy conversation is terribly slow, compared to previous versions? i think it's due to the chat history [20:02] ActionParsnip: this is what i'm trying to see, if it's ubuntu in general, or just my installation [20:02] MrPiracy: can you give the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image please use a pastebin to host [20:02] wonx: probably just junky firefox [20:02] wonx: I bet you have a tonne of addons [20:02] sure! [20:03] wonx: that all takes resources [20:03] but even if i close firefox, i can no longer go under the 1GB limit [20:03] firefox is using 350mb of ram right now, it's fine [20:03] wonx: what other apps are you running? [20:03] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/2pY71Xni [20:03] rhythmbox, empathy, skype and dropbox [20:04] wonx: how much ram frees after you close skype (if its convenient) [20:04] wonx: is your OS 64bit> [20:04] wonx, the thing about RAM is that you paid for it when you bought it, you are paying for it now to run electricity to it, so why not use it. as long as you aren't overflowing into swap why do you care how much ram you use? [20:04] skype is 88MB [20:04] MrPiracy: looks fine, you only have 1 kernel installed [20:04] yes, i'm using 64bit [20:05] I think what's causing me to go back to 12.04 is that I have an error while shutting down from 12.10 ... it says "killing all remaining processes fail" or something like that [20:05] wonx: skype is 32bit, so you had to load a tonne of 32bit libs into RAM [20:05] well, i find sometimes the system is using the whole ram and yes, it uses swap [20:05] aha, ok, that explains skype [20:05] wonx: try closing apps and noting the ram use difference === Guest63188 is now known as kInOzAwA [20:05] Then the next boot will take me to 12.04 with poor graphics (which were working fine before upgrade) and this time will will shutdown with no errors [20:06] MrPiracy: do you use proprietary video drivers? [20:06] although ive been using ubuntu for some years now, im still rather a newbie im not quite sure how to make the error message appear [20:06] hello where does ubuntu store its config file when a user make a samba share via the nautilus interface, there is no trace in /etc [20:06] G92 NVIDIA, GeForce 9800 GT [20:06] I think i'm just trowing a little tantrum here, because my computer is starting to age (4 years and a half) [20:06] but i don't want to admit it.... [20:07] xrlgf: i think /var/lib/samba/usershares [20:07] wonx: make sure you're not counting cached memory as used [20:07] ok, is there any simple way to REPAIR ubuntu? [20:07] Ben64: no no, I already checked that [20:07] balam: depends on whats broken [20:07] balam: whats the problem [20:07] balam, depends on what broke. [20:08] dr_willis, this is correct path [20:08] bleh, ninja'd by dr_willis [20:08] MrPiracy: I suggest you uninstall the proprietary video driver, reboot then reinstall it. It is rare for proprietary video drivers to survive distribution changes [20:08] balam: is there a simple way to 'repair Windows' [20:08] not sure, since upgrade to precise pangolin, no more wavy windows, ugly debian splashscreen, and error messages every minute or so [20:09] balam: can you see how the question has no meaning? [20:09] actually it does [20:09] I just got Ubuntu back after repairing grub. Does anyone know if I can remove the bios_grub partition I had to make? [20:09] !details | balam [20:09] balam: 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 ..." [20:09] running 12.04 [20:09] sevenforall, you need that to boot bios grup with gpt partition tables [20:09] ActionParsnip, it says i am using NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library from nvidia-current (proprietary, tested) [20:09] balam: an OS is an incredibly complex piece of softare, so stating you want to repair it simply states something is broken but it could be one of hundreds of subsystems [20:09] All right then [20:10] MrPiracy: remove the driver, reboot, reinstall driver [20:10] ActionParsnip, would you please tell me how I could reinstall it? [20:10] not quite sure how to display error log [20:10] MrPiracy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [20:10] ActionParsnip, ok, will try that, ty [20:10] balam: what release did you upgrade from? [20:11] I've been following the flow, accepting updtes as sson as they were out [20:11] balam: do you use a proprietary video driver? [20:11] yes, used to work fine [20:11] balam: well, 12.10 is out now, so you haven't been keeping up....... [20:12] balam: try removing the driver, reboot then reinstall it [20:12] i try to share a folder between two ubuntu 12.10 fresh install, but it is not working, is there something to change in smb.conf to allow this ? [20:12] not sure how, as i look for updates everyday and install every single suggested one [20:12] last one was 10 minutes ago [20:12] balam: if you use an ATI GPU 2xxx, 3xxx or 4xxx and use 12.10, then it causes issues [20:12] how do i tell apt to stop caring about a package i installed with unsatisfied dependencies? i did that on purpose, how can i get my computer to kindly stfu and let me use apt again? [20:12] xrlgf: you are shareing them as guest shares? You did make users a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' on the machines? [20:12] !12.10 | balam [20:12] balam: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) is the current stable release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.10 - Support in #ubuntu [20:13] Mr Parsnip, how do I create an error log to disply here? [20:13] xrlgf: you could also use scp/sshfs or nfs to set up 'shares' [20:13] dr_willis, i set guest account enabled [20:13] balam: your OS is now looking for the next LTS so you won't get offered the Quantal upgrade [20:13] balam: I'd try the video driver remove, reboot, reinstall first :) [20:13] xrlgf: another common issue is using the smb://servername/ when one needs to use smb://ip.of.the.server/ instead [20:14] dr_willis, i can see both machines in the network explorer, and i can see the shares, but not allowed to mount [20:15] jo sup? [20:15] dr_willis, usershare_acl=S-1-1-0:F and guest_ok=y are in the config file made by nautilus [20:15] guys, I'm confused. I'm now sure the incriminated upgrade was 12.10; but then now when ubuntu closes, I see 12.04 displayed. When the error messages appear, there is no more resolving cause it says 12.04 no mre in dev === ubuntu is now known as Guest41907 === Guest41907 is now known as Wilky [20:17] Mr Parsnip: I tried the video driver reinstalled already [20:17] hi ubuntees [20:17] One more question. is it possible to remove the web apps (facebook, reddit, etc) from the messaging menu? [20:17] suppressed the proprietary, restarted, reinstall the proprietary, still issues [20:17] balam: if you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can see why the video driver isn't loading etc [20:18] dr_willis, but yeah it is working settings the ip ... [20:18] thanx [20:18] strange [20:18] xrlgf: commonplace issue [20:19] I forget some package thats supposed to fix that.. i always just use the ip# [20:19] ok, i'm missing a package ? [20:19] or set your /etc/hosts with a proper entry for the name to ip# [20:19] i use dyn ip [20:20] I have a problem: the Numeric Right part of the keyboard Numbers, is no more working either Num Lock on or Off [20:21] Wilky, does the num lock light come on [20:21] 5.323] X.Org X Server 1.11.3 Release Date: 2011-12-16 [ 5.323] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 5.323] Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.42-23-generic x86_64 Ubuntu [ 5.323] Current Operating System: Linux Balam-SSD 3.2.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15 10:48:16 UTC 2012 x86_64 [ 5.323] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-34-generic root=UUID=3c397bfb-280f-4f07-9ecd-c1e960f8a6f0 ro quiet splas [20:21] yes and Arrows work perfect [20:21] ] t=kl;' [20:21] [26~[25~[5~ [20:21] [C[C [2~[3~[3~+ [20:21] Telendrith: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:22] Wilky, there is a program "xev" that will allow you to see what the keycode is. can you run xev and try the numkeys with numlock on and off [20:22] this happened when I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 [20:22] (offtopic) is anyone here using dasKeyboard with blue switches? [20:23] Wilky, so open a terminal. type xev, move the window so it doesn't obscure the terminal, and then try the different keys. check the terminal for output [20:23] how can I run it ( [20:24] Wilky: Crtl-Alt-T for terminal and type 'xev' [20:24] Monsieur Parsnip, which line is useful in this file please? [20:25] mmm [20:26] Can't understand the fast scroll codes running on Terminal! [20:27] I've got both Python 2.7 and 3.2 installed, how do I use 3.2 instead of 2.7? [20:28] what happens if you have two partitions with bootloaders installed? [20:28] Wilky, the lines look like KeyPress event or KeyRelease event, and then two lines down it says what key it was state 0x0, keycode 88 (keysym 0xff99, KP_Down), same_screen YES, [20:29] Wilky, you could also close xev, and run "xev | grep keysym" to eliminate some of the chatter [20:30] Got a window "Event Tester" but don't get the drift [20:31] Wilky, so click in that window and hit the keys. you should see output in the terminal where you typed "xev | grep keysym" [20:31] if he used the run dialog.. there is no terminal for the messages to show up in [20:31] ;) [20:31] dr_willis, we told him to open it in a terminal [20:32] but did he? ;) [20:32] does not display anything [20:32] escott, may I ask you for a bit of assistance please? [20:32] he also has to click in the xev window for the messages to show up in the terminal [20:32] Wilky, did you click inside the white box? xev has to have focus [20:34] ;)mouseing OVER the xev window will show some info. but to test the keyboard you do have to click IN the xev window to focus it [20:34] balam, ask the channel [20:34] Ive been asking for a while now [20:34] On which distro, ubuntu or opensuse laptop's battery wil last longer? Or it's hard to say? [20:35] balam, then people don't know the answer or missed the question, but don't single people out its not helpful [20:35] state 0x0, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES, [20:35] ok, the question is: any simple way to repair Ubuntu? [20:36] answer would be "No" it depends on the issue. [20:36] Wilky, so thats the ENTER key on the keypad. try it with a number key, then toggle the numlock and try it again [20:37] its been working fine for years, and since it upgraded to 12.10, ive got error messages all the time, no more wavy wondows (gnome stopped working?), an ugly debian splash screen [20:37] can you encrypt your hdd after installation? [20:37] seems to be hard to simply downgrade too [20:37] balam: the wavy windows eyesore is part of compiz. [20:37] arnsa: No one has tested that AFAIK. [20:37] SolarisBoy, you cannot encrypt / after install with any tool shipped by ubuntu. [20:38] ok thanks escott_ [20:38] balam: you dont downgrade.. and if you have been upgraeing for 'years' that points to common upgrade issues.. the simple fix would be a clean reinstall. [20:38] compiz, yes, sorry [20:38] if compiz is not working - that would point to drivers for your video card issues. [20:38] cant do that, its my work machine, [20:39] balam: you've been very vague in your questions, and haven't given any details for the past 30+ mins [20:39] i've tried reinstalling drivers, didnt work [20:39] Sure you can.. but its a balance of time and effort. [20:40] My 'work' is all in my 'home' dir - so i can easially reinstall and get back to work if needed. [20:40] ben64, I've got multiploe issues, linked or not, and I've been asking what to display from the xorg file [20:41] balam: all you've said is "i get error messages, no wavy windows, and how to fix ubuntu" [20:41] balam, all those issues sound like problems with the graphics card drivers [20:42] ohh, the old "error messages" problem. let me point you to a fix for that... [20:42] Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error...... You mean? [20:43] http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu/ [20:43] yes, and although I did try to reinstall the said drivres, issue still here. The other issur is although the problems appeared after quantal quetzal upgrade, I now see 12.04 displayed when I close ubuntu [20:43] Wilky, still there? [20:43] not workin properly [20:43] see 12.04 where exactly? [20:43] Wilky, xev isn't going to fix anything. its just to diagnose the problem [20:44] Dr willis, if you tell me how to display my ubuntu version I will gladly do so [20:44] balam: lsb_release -r [20:44] i see it when it closes pipes and all, when it closes [20:44] Wilky, you need to tell us what you are seeing [20:45] thanks Ben64, it confirms what I thought: 12.04 [20:45] Wilky: Reinstall if there's nothing important on the disk. [20:46] now, WTF is the question, as the issues started after upgrade to 12.10 [20:46] dr_willis: why not just 'sudo apt-get remove apport' ? [20:46] balam: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [20:46] also when I log out I get a virtual keyboard without Number Keypad and Click on 123 to turn into numbers it doesn't accept [20:47] when the Num Loch is Off the Arrows work perfectly [20:48] ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366027/ thanks [20:48] Wilky, what do you see output from xev when you hit the number keys [20:48] I don't have a CD I've just upgraded [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES, [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES, [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff50, Home), same_screen YES, [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff50, Home), same_screen YES, [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 112 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES, [20:49] state 0x10, keycode 112 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES, [20:49] Wilky: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] just installed 12.10, upgraded nvidia drivers and how my window manager seems hosed (no task bar or window borders around apps) how can i revert back? [20:50] ben64, could it be because in the grub, I started to select the previous linux version when the issues appeared? [20:50] balam - dunno what to tell you, you arent upgraded to 12.10 [20:52] Wilky, you need to give us context. all I see is that your Home key works. but without knowing the state of the numlock light that tells me nothing. you need to hit the 7 key, hit the numlock key, and then hit 7 again and see if it changes [20:53] it does say 12.04, yes, BUT: it definitely upgraded to 12.10 quantal quetzal smthing like 2 weeks ago, thats when the issues started. When I saw that no further update were fixing the bug, I decided to look if downgrading was possible, understood by reading on the formums that it was very hard/ impossible, and therefore decided to select "previous linux versions' in the grub [20:54] balam, that just boots an older kernel. it should still say 12.10 in the OS [20:54] balam, is it possible you had a failed upgrade and never got to 12.10 [20:54] I know, hence the WTF question === qos is now known as qos|away [20:55] escott: ah, ok. but then why did the bug stay? [20:56] I am trying to figure out if Tor is running or not ... so I did 'ss -aln | grep 9050' and the output is: LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:9050 *:* [20:56] the possible ATI driver one, meant to be specific to 12.10 if I read correctly what some answered here?3. [20:56] does this mean that Tor is running? [20:57] escott, is there a bug log that I could paste to show you what Im talking about? [20:57] state 0x10, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES, [20:57] state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, [20:57] state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, [20:57] state 0x0, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, [20:57] state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, [20:57] Wilky: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:58] Wilky, you are going to get kicked from the channel if you keep that up [20:59] Sorry, I don't know the rules [20:59] escott, is there a bug log that I could paste to show you what Im talking about? [21:00] balam, i dont know what you are talking about so its hard for me to tell you what log to look at [21:01] balam, you might want to read http://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc [21:02] Hi. Ubuntu keeps greeting me after everz restart about a "crash" it wants to "report". However I think its the same crash every time somewhere down in the logs. how can I make it not bother me about the same crash again and again? [21:02] If I want the message to reappear, to be able to display the details, Ive got to restart the machine [21:03] I had such a thing earlier with an Xserver segfault where I solved it by deleting the old Xorg.log [21:03] CorvusCorax, have you tried reporting it? [21:03] CorvusCorax, alternately just delete all the logs in /var/log [21:03] escott, yes and no, i did not actually send the report because the crash reason was me playing around with things (hibernate) [21:03] i did click on details and then on continue [21:03] http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu/ [21:05] hey, how can i disable ssh access for an ip address after a number of failed attempts? [21:05] is this possible? [21:05] alegen: fail2ban tool can do it automatically [21:05] dr_willis, thanks, hat might actually be the sane thing to do :-) [21:05] CorvusCorax: or clean out the log files. i imagine most are very old [21:05] dr_willis and CorvusCorax - thanks i`ll look them up now :) [21:05] i installed the system today, shouldnt be older than 24 hours :) [21:06] The crash files are gathered in /var/crash.

[22:19] sheerun, nope [22:19] :( [22:19] And how to download them quickly? [22:20] Does anyone have a working preseed for a distro served by old-releases.ubuntu.com? [22:20] Rather than copying urls one by one [22:20] sheerun, hmm try with wget -r url [22:21] I want to install a "portable" Ubuntu OS on a USB HDD; can I do it without booting some Live media? [22:21] add it as a repo and use && to queue maybe? or wget? [22:21] I am trying to preseed ubuntu 7.10, but debconf seems to ignore "choose-mirror-bin mirror/http/hostname string old-releases.ubuntu.com" [22:21] I have an Ubuntu laptop already [22:21] sheerun, try giving: wget -r http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/lucid/0.3.9.1/i386/ [22:21] :q [22:21] kostkon: OK. thank you1 [22:21] sheerun, np [22:21] dr_willis, when you say: another common issue is using the smb://servername/ when one needs to use smb://ip.of.the.server/ instead, can you point me to something ? i can't find information on this problem [22:24] What is the standard remote desktop server package name? [22:25] litropy, im not sure there is an RDP server. most people would use vnc [22:26] oh shit wget -r will download the whole site [22:26] kostkon: What have you done?! [22:26] :P [22:26] lol @ kostkon === psychopathic-kil is now known as psychopathic [22:29] dr_willis, ok found it ! [22:29] not a missing package, i have to put bcast first to resolve names [22:31] I did a $sudo gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true # and I'm still getting connection refused. Isn't RDP built into 12.04? [22:33] litropy, why sudo? [22:33] ircnode0: [22:33] sry [22:34] escott, honestly, because a web site told me to :( [22:34] Hello, Ubuntu world, I'm having problems with a program and was wondering if anyone could pitch in. [22:34] litropy, almost certainly wrong in that case [22:34] FYI I've downloaded all deb files by: wget -q -e robots=off --no-parent -r -nH --cut-dirs=5 --accept='*.deb' http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/lucid/0.3.9.1/i386/ [22:34] Thank you for help, cheers [22:34] litropy, i would undo that. its a big security risk [22:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1078105 ? [22:34] Launchpad bug 1078105 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "Horizontal scrolling checkbox is workless. It's on but in reality horizontal scrolling is not in a working condition. Vertical is OK." [Low,Incomplete] [22:35] escott, wanna throw me a command? [22:35] litropy, same command as before but with false [22:35] Any one understand this problem? [22:35] escott, ah okay - I thought I gave root to gconftool permanently or something [22:36] gustav__: Have you tried resetting Unity/Compiz? [22:36] Kevin_: Nope. [22:38] gustav__: try "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && setsid unity" without quotes in the terminal [22:39] Do I have to have a monitor hooked up for Vino to run? When I $/usr/lib/vino/vino-server # I get, "Cannot open display:" [22:39] Kevin_: No, that doesn't work. I'm not using Unity or Compiz btw. [22:40] gustav__: out of curiosity, what does: synclient -l | grep HorizTwoFingerScroll; output? [22:41] 0. O_O [22:41] gustav__: try: synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 [22:42] trism: Works! :D [22:42] Thx. [22:42] * litropy grudgingly hauls a monitor and input devices over to the server to see what's going on. [22:43] hi once more. is there a way to change the power button functionality from asking the user to doing something else? [22:43] i am sure this has been discussed a lot, but not by me. soooo... i have a laptop with both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04. can i just upgrade to the latest ubuntu without damaging my windows 7 installation or do i need to install ubuntu 12 and then windows 7 again? [22:45] Can I close a bug I opened on Launchpad? [22:45] hey, I think I found a bug [22:46] I have a reasonably fresh Ubuntu installation, when i click the power symbol and select "suspend" the system suspends, but when i click the power button, then select "suspend" from that dialog, the dialog goes away and nothing happens! [22:46] is that normal ? ;) [22:46] gustav__: you can mark it as invalid, though depending on which desktop you use it may not be (it should work correctly if you use gnome or unity) [22:46] (as in can anyone reproduce that?) [22:47] trism: Not sure what to do really. The bug is still there. gnome-control-panel shows it as enabled when it isn't. So not fully resolved but functionally. [22:47] gustav__: which desktop do you use? [22:47] trism: WindowMaker. [22:47] list [22:47] trism: + It could be reverted on reboot. I guess it would be. [22:47] gustav__: yeah, gnome-control-center probably can't update that option if gnome-settings-daemon isn't running [22:48] gustav__: so I would say probably invalid bug [22:48] hibernate doesn't work either [22:48] how do I add swap to a Ubuntu Server??? [22:48] 12.04 [22:49] M13, create a partition or blank file and mkswap it [22:49] M13, permanently or temporarily? [22:49] i am sure this has been discussed a lot, but not by me. soooo... i have a laptop with both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04. can i just upgrade to the latest ubuntu without damaging my windows 7 installation or do i need to install ubuntu 12 and then windows 7 again? [22:49] How [22:49] you can add any file or partition with a swap filesysytem on it with "swapon " [22:49] Im on a VPS [22:50] CorvusCorax, report it via launchpad.net ;) [22:50] how do I make a swapfile? [22:50] M13: mkswap [22:50] wdsnead you can upgrade ubuntu, ok, or better: fresh install after backup [22:50] man mkswap [22:50] M13, you can use dd to create a blank file of a desired size, and then mkswap that file if you have no partitions [22:51] trism: You have a point. [22:52] MonkeyDust Thanks!!!! [22:52] !upgrade > wdsnead read this first [22:52] wdsnead, please see my private message [22:52] is it : dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=200288 ? [22:53] list [22:53] and then what??? [22:53] M13, sure [22:53] M13, mkswap /swapfile [22:53] fiocco wrtong channel [22:53] M13, swapon /swapfile [22:53] parazit: before I report the bug I wanna do some more research [22:53] which program gets invoked when the power button is pressed, and how? [22:53] via acpid? [22:53] is there a logfile or config where thats controlled? [22:54] hey guys, i have an hybrid amd notebook, with hd 4200 as onboard gpu and hd 6310 as discrete gpu.. i still can't find how to enable the proprietary driver correctely [22:55] CorvusCorax, just trying to help :) and yes ... good to do that , i do it too :)) [22:55] hey guys, i have an hybrid amd notebook, with hd 4200 as onboard gpu and hd 6310 as discrete gpu.. i still can't find how to enable the proprietary driver correcteart [22:55] i havent been able to get it working since i upgraded to 12.10 [22:55] ubottu Thank you. Had to figure out how to read the message. Quite simple. Thanks all of you and have a blessed weekend!!!! [22:55] wdsnead: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:56] wdsglobal? [22:56] ‰ô5wü [22:57] omg! I unpacked eclipse juno to /usr/bin bc that seemed like a good place for it. Now I read online to install it differently/ to a different location. I use gnome 3 and if I do a search for the application notihing comes up. How do I clean this mess up so I can start over and install it properly? [22:57] ‰ô5wü [22:58] if you cant apt-get purge, then delete the dir as root [22:58] ‰ô5wü [22:59] I'll look to see if it's contained all in one dir [22:59] thx [22:59] parazit: I just checked, acpid indeed listens on the power button, but does nothing if it detects that "gnome-settings-daemon" is running [23:00] CorvusCorax: just a guess, but I bet it has something to do with the Gnome "Power off your computer?" popup [23:00] roothorick, likely, since that popup would then somehow have to trigger the shutdown / restart / suspend [23:00] and it works for shutdown or restart but does nothing for suspend and hibernate [23:00] I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and trying to encode h.264 video with kdenlive 0.9.2. kdenlive cannot encode h.264 video because xlib264 is unsupported. How can I get kdenlive to encode h.264 video? [23:00] but which program does this popup? [23:01] no idea [23:01] <|MS|DjFlyBy> anyone can recommend a program for me to help create a flash photo gallery? We're talking a gallery of well over 23,000 photo's. I tried jalbum but it keeps crashing (don't think it can handle so many photo [23:02] hi guys how would I round this number on the same line? right now I have this memtotal=$(echo "`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk {'print $2'}`*0.0009765625" | bc) [23:02] which grabs the total memory available and converts it to mb I could convert it from a float to an integer by using ${memtotal/.*} but I don't really know how I'd add that to my existing declaring line [23:02] kinda new to bash scripting but not coding in general [23:02] in the xfce desktop manager, i right click on my username in the upper right corner and select properties -> uncheck show options dialogue [23:03] maslo, try "scale=0" when passing to bc [23:04] maslo better visit #bash [23:04] like this ? memtotal=$(echo "scale=0;`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk {'print $2'}`*0.0009765625" | bc) [23:04] doesn'T seem to work [23:04] oh I wasn't aware there was a channel dedicated to bash scripting [23:05] ty monkeydust/escott I'll head there [23:08] How do I intall word. I am using a linux that is like Ubuntu. [23:08] I am very new to this stuff [23:08] what's "word"? [23:08] as in microsoft word? [23:08] ms word, I'm guessing [23:08] TyronLeroy, what OS exactly? [23:08] Or something like it. [23:08] TyronLeroy: libreoffice already comes installed in ubuntu [23:09] kostkon its this OS http://linuxforniggers.us/about [23:09] TyronLeroy: most people use libreoffice writer OR abiword [23:09] and no I am not joking [23:09] I am using this [23:09] TyronLeroy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:09] I happen to be black [23:09] TyronLeroy, this is an ubuntu only support channel [23:09] but it is ubuntu [23:09] TyronLeroy: try looking for "Writer" [23:09] I'd imagine they'd have either OOo or LO installed and both have "Writer" which serves the same purpose as Word [23:10] wow [23:10] TyronLeroy, technically, yes, maybe, in general terms. But it isn't called ubuntu, so it is not. [23:10] http://linuxforniggers.us/download [23:10] as you can see it has the Ubuntu logo [23:10] I cant say I like the name though. [23:10] TyronLeroy: please just stop [23:10] TyronLeroy: go away [23:11] TyronLeroy, it has a water mellon for a logo... [23:11] but it is still Ubuntu. [23:11] So is it better to use fstab or symbolic link shares to home folders? I want my pictures, music and video folders to all be server shares [23:11] TyronLeroy: this is only the ubuntu support. go and try your luck somewhere else [23:12] cononical should be made aware of this [23:12] TyronLeroy: Have you tried turning it off and on again? [23:13] How do I intall a word like program. There are a bunch of african american students at our high school that are tired of "white geeks" holding us down. So they made this version of Ubuntu. I think they called it that to draw a line in the sand. [23:13] is there a way to copy/paste magnet links into Transmission? or does the magnet have to be passed directly from a web browser? [23:13] !offtopic | TyronLeroy [23:13] TyronLeroy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:13] right click, copy link location? [23:13] good [23:13] hello. i got a problem with apt-get on my ubuntu system . i tried to install some apps , including the flash player. [23:14] unfortunately the app froze at this point: Setting up update-notifier-common (0.126) ... [23:14] flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.251.orig.tar.gz [23:14] fluitfries: i have no problems with magnet files in firefox, i've seen chrome/chromium has some troubles with them [23:14] nv, but how exactly do i paste into Transmission, it doesn't seem to work [23:14] ctr+x does not stop the apt-get install at all. it seems to download (or try t download) forever the flash plugin . [23:15] so how can i cancel the download of the flash player [23:17] what happens when you try pasting into the "Open URL.." box? [23:17] this dude on ask ubuntu had a permissions problem. The answer given directed him to unpack it to ~/bin which seems odd. I don't really want to create a bin directory in my home directory - that's just ugly. Was that instruction a mistake? Is there some alternative that won't lead to problems using it down the road? [23:18] I'm sorry - talking about installing eclipse 4.2 Juno [23:18] maybe try unpacking into /opt/ [23:18] ClientAlive, +1 for /opt [23:19] nv: that's what the guy w/ the question says he did - well, he gave a link to an article he says he followed and that article tells you to unpack in /opt. The dude on ask ubuntu said he had to login as root every time he wanted to make config changes to eclipse. [23:19] ok on /opt then [23:20] do I have to change owner/group or any perms? [23:20] ClientAlive, copy it for example in /opt/eclipsex.x where x.x is the version and then make your own desktop file that starts the ecliplse executable [23:20] chmod 777 /opt/%dir [23:20] k [23:20] we'll giver er' a try :p [23:21] ClientAlive: It makes eclipse plugins much easier to install if you unpack eclipse to your user directory. if you plan on sharing eclipse between multiple users opt might be a better choice. [23:21] dont just toss around chmod 777's ;) [23:21] overclucker, good advice yeah [23:21] 777 = Jackpot! (for every one and any one) [23:22] I alwyas have a bin dirctory in my home.. had one there for years. ;) [23:22] overclucker, although, I think eclipse always installs new plugins in the user's home [23:22] I have a .usr directory in my home [23:23] sounds like ~/bin is pretty common then. hmm... [23:23] ClientAlive, not really [23:23] back years ago.. yes it was common. [23:23] these days not so much [23:23] i keep all my scripts and other executables in there, and links to stuff that may be in /opt/whatever/ [23:25] you know, I've read a couple articles a long time ago about what the varios directories under / are supposed to be used for. I see that adobe (aka: adobe reader) is in /opt. What is /opt really for? [23:25] ClientAlive: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [23:25] Hello, I'm currently installing ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my new computer. I notice that the performance of my SSD (crucial v4) is extremely slow. Even the installation took more that 45 minutes. I replaced the SSD by a HD SATA 1TB and the installation was done in 10minutes. Anyone an idea? [23:25] 'optional' stuff that was not installed by the package manager system is how i tend to explain it. [23:26] DaBas: i noticed when i added a ssd that my MB had 6 SATA ports.. and i just happened to notice some of them were of a faster speed then the others. ;) === quesada__ is now known as urlwolf [23:27] i was sure to plug my SSD into the faster ports. [23:27] dr_willis: ok I will have a look than [23:27] dr_willis: now you have a good performance for you ssd? [23:27] got a 128gb ssd here - i boot up in like 15 sec. [23:27] sounds like its pausing between datagrams [23:28] i barely have time to sit down and its at the login screen [23:28] ;) [23:29] im also useing this fstab entry for my / [23:29] try changing cables, if that doesnt work, run testdisk and maybe check out the smart logs [23:29] your are using ext2 on that SSD? [23:29] UUID=XXX / ext4 discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [23:30] the ownership of the untarred directory (and maybe it's contents too) seems very odd: "drwxrwsr-x 9 messagebus users 4096 Sep 20 03:33 eclipse" <- is that normal? [23:30] ClientAlive: tar rembers the original owner/group [23:30] you may need to chown/chmod it to work properly on your system [23:31] Can anyone recommend software (free) for synchronizing files between ubuntu and windows? [23:31] thers unison walterwoj [23:31] !info unison [23:31] unison (source: unison): file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.40.65-1ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 616 kB, installed size 1690 kB [23:31] if i can spell it right. ;) [23:31] what kind of sync are you looking for? [23:32] I want an auto-backup to my ubuntu file server with a minimum of bandwidth use (like rsync) [23:32] dr_willis: That's fine, but what do you think it means for something to be owned by messagebus? What even is that? (just curious). [23:32] ClientAlive: its the UID that was rembered.. if their user name 'bob' happened to have the same UID as yoru user messagebus then thats the name that would show [23:33] I see [23:33] cat /etc/group | grep message [23:33] messagebus:x:105: [23:33] so i would bet the uid was 105 :) [23:33] do chmod and chown have a -r flag (to effect the directory and all it's content all the way to the leaves)? [23:34] they have recursive options yes [23:34] right on [23:35] dr_willis: which mobo do you have? === psychopathic-kil is now known as pschopathic [23:35] Not sure came with this ASUS desktop i got on sale last year. ;) [23:35] some MegaTrend I think [23:37] is it possible to see a list of kernel i have installed on my ubuntu server? [23:37] suttiwit, with something like: dpkg -l | grep headers? [23:37] hmm [23:37] okay... [23:38] then... is it safe to remove the old ones? [23:38] suttiwit: yep [23:38] suttiwit, yes, just keep the current and the previous one, just to be on the safe side [23:38] dr_willis: It seems that the switch of SATA ports did the trick :-) Thank you very much!!! [23:38] ok [23:38] thx [23:42] does anyone know a simple way to install flash player on wine? [23:43] what would the number be for rwxrwx--- 770? [23:43] andybrine: check out the winetricks tool perhaps [23:44] was just looking at winetircks [23:44] Anyone here good with the lubuntu-desktop package? [23:44] not sure of any of the commands though and on the gui it does not seem to be present [23:44] :s [23:44] Techman: thats a little vague [23:45] ? [23:45] andybrine: ask in #winehq also [23:45] andybrine: have you tried google chrome? [23:45] I installed lubuntu-desktop on my main Ubuntu install [23:45] 12.04 LTS [23:45] ok thanks [23:45] will give it a shot [23:45] And now my Ubuntu boot screen branding is gone and is now replaced with Lubuntu [23:45] just installed play on linux as weel [23:45] Lubuntu branding [23:45] Techman: yes.. thats undertandable.. [23:45] trying google chrome now [23:45] it changed the default pymounth theme [23:45] plymouth [23:46] just want to watch netflix tbh [23:46] lol [23:46] How do I get the original Ubuntu branding back? [23:46] theres some command to switch pymouth themes.. id have to look it up at askubuntu.com i dont rember it off hand [23:46] andybrine: wine in windows - wont let you watch netflix [23:46] err flash in wine.. [23:46] ;) [23:46] andybrine, then i'm happy to give you this link! http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/update-on-netflix.html [23:46] No one knows how to get the branding back? [23:47] I hate when desktop packages change stuff like that [23:47] andybrine, netflix uses silverlight btw [23:47] Techman: as i said.. id have to go to askubuntu.com and search for 'change plymouth theme' [23:47] thanks [23:47] Will do [23:47] Not sure who you were speaking to there :) [23:47] ahh, thanks for letting me know much appreciated [23:47] didnt know that [23:48] there's a s in my perms for the eclipse directory. This article says: "s instead of x in the owner permissions means that the 'sticky bit' (suid) is enabled, so this file will be executed with root permissions by all users..." But what does that mean? [23:48] sounds like a bad idea - root permissions for all users? [23:49] that netflix update looks good [23:49] andybrine, np [23:49] does that mean it does not working in ubuntu at all at the mo then? [23:49] andybrine: what i notice about it is that it dosent to seem be officially from netflix.. so i wonder at how stable it will be [23:50] yeah true, could be unstable [23:50] andybrine: netflix does not work on linux at this time - correct. that site seems to be doing somthing with wine. which as far as i know was broken with silverlight [23:50] ohh ok, damn it!!! :p [23:50] so i wonder what netflix's response will be. its the DRM feature of silverlight that is the main issue i belive [23:50] andybrine, actually, the ppa is up already, and you can find it here: https://launchpad.net/~ehoover/+archive/compholio/ [23:51] I just specifically boycott netflix... [23:51] of course I got a Boxee Box and Rokus i can plug into a 2nd pc monitor if i wanted to watch netflix and every tv in the house can do netflix now.. and my phone.. [23:51] there is a lot of updates that frequently say netflix will not realease a version for linux [23:51] but ive been waching CrunchyRoll this weel. [23:51] aweseom [23:51] hey peoples [23:51] thanks, going to give it a wirl [23:53] I have a question, has anyone else been getting the desktop crashing/freezing after installing from the software center [23:53] I wouldn't be asking except doing a chmod g+x eclipse has no effect (the friggin sticky bit won't go away) [23:53] How would I tell apt to blacklist all copies of libogg0 from a certain repository without locking the version and preventing security updates to the main Ubuntu release? [23:53] i only ask cause i cant find a crash report [23:54] (I've got the Trinity Desktop Environment repo added for certain apps that weren't ported to KDE 4 or are too buggy and it provides a version of libogg0 that can't be simultaneously installed both 32-bit and 64-bit) [23:54] You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. [23:54] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.13) but 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.4 is installed [23:54] When I run apt-get -f install then it wants to remove almost all packages... [23:54] Any suggestions? [23:55] ClientAlive: Sticky bit and executable are separate. They're just displayed in the same spot in the ls output. [23:56] ClientAlive: Unsetting sticky bits is done with "chmod -t" [23:56] okay... this. is. bad. [23:56] deitarion: yeah but what about the effect of the sticky bit. I'm still unclear about that but it sounds like anyone who runs the application runs it as root automatically - that doesn't sound good [23:56] lol, just did apt-get install netflix and its uninstalled wine and play on linux :s [23:57] I was resizing a partition using gparted, and suddenly X is hung... gparted is still running, but I can't recover X. What do I do? [23:57] ok. just have to trust it [23:57] ClientAlive: No, those are the setuid or setgid bit. [23:57] andybrine, just re-install them [23:57] ph8: ok [23:57] ClientAlive: Run `man chmod` to read about what all these bits do. [23:57] ok === Chris-D_ is now known as Chris-D [23:58] man. I don't even know how to launch this thing since there is no menu entry in Activities and it doesn't come up in a search - what a trip... [23:58] ClientAlive: Open a terminal and type "man chmod".
