| deitarion | ClientAlive: Anyway, for directories, the sticky bit forces all files inside the directory to only be deletable by the users that own them, regardless of other permissions. For files, it often has no effect but, on older systems, it caused the OS to try some tricks to make programs load faster. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ClientAlive | looks liek we got er' fellas. I found it. | 00:00 |
| ClientAlive | deitarion: well that doesn't sound too bad :) | 00:01 |
| WeThePeople | how do i run a install.sh in terminal | 00:01 |
| WeThePeople | need to be root | 00:01 |
| ClientAlive | hey, thx fellas | 00:01 |
| fourq|cloud | 12.10 dell latitude e3400 [ctrl+alt+screen prnt] it turned off my monitor. had to rebooted and now I have no internet. Connects fin to router last time this happened i had to re-install | 00:01 |
| deitarion | ClientAlive: For future reference, you can run "man whatever" for almost any command you might type in the terminal to read the manual page for it. | 00:01 |
| astsubay06 | hi | 00:01 |
| goldeneye | hello | 00:01 |
| goldeneye | can someone help me with my ubuntu sound on thinkpad t60p | 00:02 |
| CorvusCorax | grah stupid launchpad. activation email is stuck in greylisting and they offer no option to resend manually | 00:02 |
| andybrine | ok so netflix loaded perfectly | 00:02 |
| mhouse | sudo ./install.sh | 00:02 |
| goldeneye | i am having a constant whistling sound the moment i unmute my sound | 00:02 |
| ClientAlive | I hate reading man pages - I like talking to people about it. When I try to understand that junk (man pages) it makes no sense to me, when I talk to ppl things make perfect sense. Dunno why, maybe it's just my personality or learning style or something. | 00:02 |
| andybrine | just uninstalled wine and playonlinux and now to install them again. It will remove netflix | 00:02 |
| andybrine | lol | 00:02 |
| andybrine | classic :) | 00:03 |
| deitarion | ClientAlive: No biggie. The manpages can be rather verbose and technical. I sometimes Google for answers because a specific manpage is poorly written. | 00:03 |
| deitarion | WeThePeople: I'm generally wary of any install.sh that NEEDS root (I put games in a folder in my homedir) but, if you really want to run it as root, make sure it's marked executable and then do as mhouse says. | 00:04 |
| CorvusCorax | goldeneye, that sounds like your microphone is making a feedback loop | 00:04 |
| CorvusCorax | did you try to lower the microphones volume? | 00:04 |
| WeThePeople | thankyou mhouse deitarion | 00:05 |
| andybrine | does anyone know the command to install programs in wine? | 00:05 |
| goldeneye | CorvusCorax how do i fix it | 00:05 |
| deitarion | andybrine: Depends. I assume it's a .exe installer? | 00:05 |
| CorvusCorax | open the volume control and search for the slider for the microphone, then lower it. if the whistling goes away, that was it | 00:06 |
| andybrine | yea it is | 00:06 |
| CorvusCorax | wine setup.exe | 00:06 |
| CorvusCorax | or whatever the installer is called | 00:06 |
| mhouse | whats the pkg that does the install animation in the unity bar | 00:06 |
| andybrine | excellent, thanks | 00:06 |
| CorvusCorax | its a bit more tricky with .msi's I keep having to look up the syntax for that | 00:06 |
| goldeneye | CorvusCorax holy cow - looks like that was it | 00:08 |
| deitarion | CorvusCorax: Wasn't it something like msiexec /i whatever.msi? | 00:08 |
| goldeneye | does that mean i wont be able to use mic and speakers on this machine? | 00:08 |
| CorvusCorax | deitarion, yeah i think that was it "wine msiexec /i <bla.msi>" | 00:08 |
| InFlames | anyone know why my dashboard has stopped showing my applications? | 00:09 |
| InFlames | Dash Home* | 00:09 |
| CorvusCorax | goldeneye, sure you can use the mic - for recording. the slider you lowered was the feedthrough | 00:09 |
| deitarion | CorvusCorax: No need to prepend "wine". msiexec is /usr/bin/msiexec. | 00:09 |
| mrspinx | Hi | 00:09 |
| CorvusCorax | aka "I want to hear the signal from my microphone from my speakers live" | 00:09 |
| CorvusCorax | which you usually dont | 00:09 |
| goldeneye | CorvusCorax, i just turned the microphone slider to mute. | 00:09 |
| CorvusCorax | theres a separate slider for recording | 00:09 |
| goldeneye | I see. Ok. | 00:10 |
| goldeneye | cant believe i dint use ubuntu because of this simple sound issue :) | 00:10 |
| mhouse | okay how can i catch a crash that isn't generating reports | 00:10 |
| goldeneye | loving it. sound is crisp and louder. | 00:10 |
| CorvusCorax | yay | 00:10 |
| eli_ | hello, would you help me? i don"t know the reason return message 'http://paste.debian.net/210301/' when run 'apt-get -f install' | 00:10 |
| ReAzem | Hello! I would like to know if cron.weely behaves like anacron? | 00:10 |
| goldeneye | thanks much | 00:11 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: Check /etc/anacrontab. Looks like it does. | 00:12 |
| === larri_ is now known as EndGame3984 | ||

| === EndGame3984 is now known as Endgame3984 | ||
| Endgame3984 | can anyone explain about SQL injection | 00:13 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, To be more specific, I would like to know if cron.daily will work if the computer isn't up all the time. | 00:13 |
| deitarion | Endgame3984: This isn't really the place for that. | 00:13 |
| Endgame3984 | sorry wrong window | 00:13 |
| suttiwit | i've added myself to group "audio" , i still need to run alsa as root | 00:14 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: /etc/anacrontab controls what anacron will run. On mine, it does contain those. | 00:14 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: First, what do you mean by "run alsa". Second, did you log out and back in to apply the changes? | 00:14 |
| mhouse | okay bye | 00:14 |
| mhouse | exit | 00:14 |
| rodhash | Hello guys… I'm using Ubuntu Quantal w/ Unity + compiz | 00:14 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, Yeah, but cron.weely is cron's folder. Not anacron's. | 00:14 |
| rodhash | few min ago my icons in the Unity bar (launcher) just desapeard, any idea what happened? | 00:14 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: well, run alsamixer | 00:14 |
| suttiwit | and it says mixer not found | 00:14 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: As I understand it, anacron works by keeping track of when the system was last running and launches anything that should have run while the system was off. | 00:15 |
| suttiwit | oh wait... i didn't log out and back... thanks, anyway | 00:15 |
| InFlames | can someone help me fix my dash home? | 00:15 |
| Endgame3984 | anyone know what would cause my wireless drives to not function | 00:15 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: Anacron is controlled by /etc/anacrontab and the default anacrontab (at least on my system) processes /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, and /etc/cron.monthly just as cron does. | 00:16 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, Yeah, I know how anacron works. But I would like to use only cron if possible. and I was wondering if cron's "cron.daily" folder work the same way. | 00:16 |
| mrspinx | I have a lenovo n586 notebook with no linux drivers from lenovo, Its a amd a6 apu with an amd chipset. has anyone used this before? I am going to write a setup guide. | 00:16 |
| rocsteady | Hi guys | 00:16 |
| rocsteady | When I ls in ubuntu, I can only see my . files | 00:16 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: cron.daily isn't really "cron's". It's just a folder. It gets its special behaviour because both the cron and anacron config files say "Once a day, look at this folder and run every script in it" | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | rocsteady: try the alias command. see if your 'ls' is actually an alias | 00:17 |
| rocsteady | I would prefer to type ls -a to see my . files | 00:17 |
| rocsteady | That's what I was thinking | 00:17 |
| rocsteady | Should I man ls? | 00:17 |
| suttiwit | rebooting didn't even solved it. | 00:17 |
| rocsteady | Nm I will google for the alias command. Thank You! | 00:17 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, Does that mean both cron and anacron will run it? | 00:17 |
| suttiwit | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | look at your alias's rocsteady set up an alias to run ls how you want. ;) | 00:17 |
| suttiwit | it works on root | 00:17 |
| blackness | rocsteady, check .bashrc or .bash_alias for more info. | 00:18 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: Yes. Cron will run it if the system is on at the desired time. Anacron will run it if it notices that the system was off at the scheduled time. | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | $ alias ls | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | alias ls='ls --color=auto' | 00:18 |
| unrar | hi | 00:18 |
| * rocsteady checking | 00:18 | |
| ReAzem | deitarion, If the system is up, will it run twice at once? | 00:19 |
| blackness | alias command='args' isnt perm | 00:19 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: No. Anacron only runs things if the scheduled time occurred while anacron was not running. | 00:19 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: rebooting didn't work, it still says 'cannot open mixer'. | 00:19 |
| maslo | I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with linux's directory structure, I made a dynamic motd that I put in /usr/local/bin and I'm wondering where the suited place to put a file that will be read and output but that I will change everynow and then (like the actual motd) ? | 00:19 |
| blackness | gotta run, working on my pastebin..i believe its ready for a hacker test :P | 00:19 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Give me a sec to think. I've never had that problem before. | 00:20 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, Thank you, this helped :). Does anacron looks in /etc/cron.daily by default or is it a configured behaviour? | 00:20 |
| rocsteady | dr_willis: blackness It was set as alias ls="ls -AF --color=auto" so I'll change it. | 00:20 |
| dr_willis | maslo: thers some motd service that has a 'tail' file i belive you can edit and it gets tacked onto the end of the MOTD | 00:20 |
| rocsteady | Ty for your help. | 00:20 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: i am on server, btw | 00:20 |
| deitarion | ReAzem: Since I've never edited /etc/anacrontab, it's probably by default. Read /etc/anacrontab and you'll see. | 00:20 |
| maslo | dr_willis: I desactivated the whole motd/lastlog/mail, made a dynamic one that looks like this http://i.imgur.com/JJLwe.png, but I'm gonna have an actual motd inside my dynamic motd | 00:21 |
| maslo | should I just use the actual motd file? | 00:21 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: I've never used Ubuntu Server, to be honest. I feel that, given the existence of Debian, Ubuntu Server is rather pointless. | 00:21 |
| blackness | rocsteady, after you edit your files, . .filename and you dont have to relogin to take affects | 00:21 |
| blackness | or source .file ex: source .bashcd | 00:22 |
| blackness | or source .file ex: source .bashrc * | 00:22 |
| InFlames | anyone know where my dash home icons have gone? | 00:22 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: What does it say if you run `aplay -l`? | 00:22 |
| rocsteady | blackness: cool | 00:22 |
| dr_willis | InFlames: give us more details as to what you mean | 00:22 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: no sound card found | 00:23 |
| InFlames | dr_willis, the icons that should be showing inside the dash home, applications, for instance, they are all missing, just a seach box | 00:23 |
| dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html if you want to try to reset your unity back to defaukts | 00:23 |
| dr_willis | InFlames: not heard of that bug or issue. see if a newly made user has the same problem | 00:24 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Mind pastebinning the output of "ls -lhd /etc/asound.conf /dev/snd /dev/snd/*"? | 00:24 |
| InFlames | it seems to have happened before, and no one knows what causes it | 00:24 |
| InFlames | :/ | 00:24 |
| InFlames | then it just randomly comes back | 00:24 |
| InFlames | how can i access my applications separate from this? | 00:24 |
| InFlames | this is incredibly inconvenient | 00:24 |
| dr_willis | you can always install some dock, or one of the classic menu indicator applets | 00:25 |
| InFlames | suggestions? | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | !dock | 00:25 |
| ubottu | 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. | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | !info cardio | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Package cardio does not exist in quantal | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | !info Cardapio | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Package Cardapio does not exist in quantal | 00:26 |
| dr_willis | Hmm https://launchpad.net/cardapio | 00:26 |

| InFlames | thanks alot dr_willis | 00:27 |
| henry_ | why my pc always reboot? | 00:28 |
| walterwoj | anyone here have experience setting up SSH to run on keys? | 00:28 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Hmm. Looks OK. Try running `strace alsamixer > trace.txt` and pastebinning that. | 00:29 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Wait. Sorry. | 00:29 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Use `strace alsamixer 2> trace.txt`. We want stderr, not stdout. | 00:29 |
| dr_willis | walterwoj: login via keys instead of password? dozens of guides out there.. basically i just do a 'ssh-keygen' on pc1 then ssh-copy-id servername | 00:30 |
| walterwoj | dr_wI have followed several guids but I can't get it to work. | 00:30 |
| dr_willis | walterwoj: for one ubuntu box to another. i just do the keygen, then copy-id commands.. and it works | 00:31 |
| dr_willis | but you do have to have password logins allowed the first time | 00:31 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366490/ | 00:33 |
| * Riccardone | 00:34 | |
| walterwoj | ok, that woks locally now... anything special to make it work from windows using putty? | 00:34 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Ok, so it IS a permissions issue with /dev/snd/controlC0. (See line 155) Now to just figure out why. | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | putty has to some how inport/convert the keys i recall walterwoj | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | or have putty generate a key and have linux add it to the right file in .ssh (id have to try it to rember what ones) | 00:36 |
| suttiwit | hmm | 00:36 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: can i just do chmod or chown on /dev/snd/controlC0? since i am not using this as a server... i won't need much security :P | 00:37 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Bad idea to hack around that way... especially since I'm still trying to figure out why it even works on my end. | 00:37 |
| |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 | 00:37 |
| ccc | hello | 00:37 |
| ccc | i need tech support on my ubuntu video card settings | 00:38 |
| suttiwit | ccc, hmm, what happen? | 00:39 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Ok, I've figured out why it works on my end. | 00:39 |
| suttiwit | ok... | 00:39 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: I'm not in the "audio" group but it works for me because, somewhere, the config is set up to add my user to the ACL for those device nodes. | 00:40 |
| suttiwit | okay... | 00:40 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: I'm just trying to figure out where that config tweak is. | 00:40 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Ok, do you have /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/audio? If so, pastebin it. | 00:41 |
| ccc | hello can someone help me? | 00:43 |
| suttiwit | ccc, yes | 00:43 |
| ccc | cool | 00:43 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366501/ | 00:43 |
| ccc | i just installed ubuntu | 00:43 |
| ccc | and need video driver for nvidia gtx-280 | 00:44 |
| suttiwit | why? | 00:44 |
| suttiwit | is x working? | 00:44 |
| ccc | so my resolutins are correct | 00:44 |
| ccc | i dont have a 1080x720 | 00:44 |
| ccc | how do i know what video card ubuntu detected? | 00:45 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: Ok, I think this is beyond my abilities. I've never needed to track down permissions issues beyond this point. | 00:45 |
| dr_willis | tried the nvidia-current package yet? | 00:45 |
| ccc | no | 00:45 |
| ccc | how do i get it | 00:46 |
| suttiwit | ccc, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | its in the package manager/repos | 00:46 |
| suttiwit | in terminal | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then reboot. then run nvidia-settings to tweak the displays | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | all i need for my 5 nvidia machines. | 00:46 |
| suttiwit | deitarion: okay, thanks anyway... i am just annoyed of running as root. | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | [GeForce GT 530] is what i got here on this box. | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | i forget what the other machines are running | 00:47 |
| deitarion | suttiwit: My best guess is that they locked down the audio system in the server version of Ubuntu and I don't know enough about how they handle permissions on Ubuntu Server to tell you the proper way to adjust that policy. | 00:47 |
| ccc | how do i open the god damn package manager | 00:47 |
| rodhash | Hello guys… | 00:48 |
| rodhash | any idea why icons on Unity bar disapeared? | 00:48 |
| ReAzem | deitarion, Finaly figured everyting out. Thank you. Also, this might interest you "ithin the cron.daily, weekly, and monthly directories ( /etc/cron.daily, etc.) there is a 0anacron file that sets the timestamps for anacron, so it will know they have been run, even if it didn't run them." | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current <<<<< the exact command to use in a terminal ccc | 00:48 |
| ccc | lol | 00:48 |
| BunBun | hello everybody i use ubuntu 12.04 with the standart Unity desktop envirnment but i have a problem with the top panel... i cant see pogram icons :S there is only the standart icons like network, sound and so on | 00:48 |
| blackshirt | ccc, what you mean with it ? | 00:48 |
| deitarion | BunBun: You mean tray icons? Unity, by design, hides those unless you individually whitelist them. | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | BunBun: you mean theres no left side panel? | 00:49 |
| dr_willis | time to play 20 questions to get to the real question. ;) | 00:49 |
| user__ | hi guys.. I'm having an issue after installing Ubuntu. It was working great for about a day and after a few reboots, then suddenly Compiz crashed.. and even after rebooting I can't see the Unity menu manager | 00:49 |
| suttiwit | ccc: please watch your language, btw. | 00:50 |

| Arkan | tks for the hand =) | 00:54 |
| Hatori | good morning | 00:54 |
| Arkan | well I have a new Asus N76V that I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 | 00:54 |

| Arkan | the thing is, Iam able to install Ubuntu but then I cant boot win7 | 00:55 |
| Arkan | This comp has 2 hard drive | 00:55 |
| === Ex0deus is now known as Guest53573 | ||
| suttiwit | 2 physical drive? Arkan | 00:55 |
| Arkan | win is installed as UeFI | 00:55 |
| Arkan | yes =) | 00:55 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: don't do uefi. do standard | 00:56 |
| user_e | sorry I dropped for a second.. anyone have any ideas about a problem where Compiz is crashing, even after reboot, leaving me with no session manager? | 00:56 |
| Arkan | yes, i tried to instal ubuntu standard | 00:56 |
| Arkan | but win7 does not boot | 00:56 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: oh gosh... look | 00:56 |
| Arkan | is I format the ubuntu disk win7 boots | 00:56 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: install windows 7 first as standard (not uefi). after that install ubuntu as standard (not uefi) and choose "Install alongside windows 7". | 00:57 |
| Arkan | I have been looping arround with this for the last 2 days, a nightmare | 00:57 |
| * suttiwit *facepalm* | 00:58 | |
| Arkan | I was trying to avoid that because I didnt want to mess up withthe original istalation of win7... | 00:58 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: the original one is installed as uefi? | 00:59 |
| Arkan | yes | 00:59 |
| walterwoj | I can't convert my ubuntu key so that putty will accept (or convert) it says it doesn't support my encryption method. | 00:59 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: haven't you tried "install alongside windows 7"? | 00:59 |
| Arkan | I dont get that option | 01:00 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: what are the options? | 01:00 |
| Arkan | actually, when use uubuntu live gparted don get the win7 partitions | 01:00 |
| Arkan | only erase disk and the advanced option | 01:00 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: ...gparted can't even find the hdd with win7? | 01:01 |
| Arkan | disk utility can see the win7 partitions and i can mount them | 01:01 |
| Arkan | it can find the hard drive but not the partitions | 01:01 |
| suttiwit | hm ok, i get it now | 01:01 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: go to advanced options... Partition the harddisk you are planning to install ubuntu and tell ubuntu to install to the harddisk for it. | 01:02 |
| Arkan | yes, i have done that. I can install ubuntu, but when I try to boot win7, it wont boot | 01:02 |
| Arkan | I think grub does not recognize that win is uefi | 01:03 |
| Arkan | because try to run the files from the OS | 01:03 |
| Arkan | anyhow, win7 does not boot | 01:03 |
| Arkan | if i delete ubuntu win boots with no problem | 01:03 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: nah... i think you need to setup grub to detect OS from 2 physical hdd | 01:03 |

| kostkon | suttiwit, unity is a compiz plugin | 01:05 |
| Arkan | grub give me the option to boot win7 but win7 gives an error, so i think it detects win7 | 01:05 |
| user_e | i'm not 100% sure I know what compiz is? | 01:05 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: what err? | 01:06 |
| suttiwit | error | 01:06 |
| Arkan | on the other hand, I can install ubuntu with wubi and windows boots, but ubuntu does not | 01:06 |
| suttiwit | Arkan: what error did windows give you? | 01:07 |
| Arkan | yes, installing ubuntu with the live cd, after instalation and rebooting I get an option to boot win 7 but win does not boot, thats the problem. | 01:07 |
| === ae is now known as Guest66176 | ||
| suttiwit | user_e, i would suggest MATE desktop environment if you want compiz. | 01:07 |
| Arkan | let me check | 01:07 |
| suttiwit | user_e: or if you want normal unity, then leave it alone. :P | 01:08 |

| user_e | I don't really care about compiz... this is a default ubuntu config, after install, my window manager crashes | 01:09 |
| Arkan | OK, "windows failed to start. bla bla" then File:\Boot\BCD Status:0xc000000e | 01:09 |
| user_e | I just want unity back | 01:09 |
| Arkan | this kind of error | 01:09 |
| Techcel | I'm logging into my ubuntu server remotely, so maybe I don't see it, but where is the place to go to settings in xbmc? | 01:09 |
| Arkan | but windows boot is not dead | 01:09 |
| user_e | and I got an error saying compiz has crashed Compiz isn't something I added. | 01:09 |
| Arkan | because if I delete ubuntu it boots OK | 01:09 |
| suttiwit | user_e, try disabling stuff you checked on compiz and remove ccsm so you don't mess around with it. | 01:10 |
| suttiwit | ccsm = compiz config settings manager | 01:10 |
| * M13 says Bye to all | 01:10 | |
| user_e | I don't know how I would even get in to do that, because all I have is terminal | 01:11 |

| saustin | Hello, I'm currently using xinerama to drive two monitors off of the proprietary ati radeon driver and I've noticed that when I alt tab or click on multi-window groups from the tab strip that the images are very blur and the machine slows down. Something I read online suggested this was due to compositing not working on Xinerama... is there no remedy available to me? Some way of rendering the multiple windows without "compositing" wh | 01:11 |
| saustin | atever that is? | 01:11 |
| user_e | and I never touched or enabled anything in ccsm | 01:11 |
| suttiwit | user_e: did you just installed "compiz"? | 01:12 |
| user_e | no, compiz comes with Ubuntu | 01:12 |
| Arkan | ok, anyhow, thanks ... I realy like ubuntu, the best thing to work | 01:12 |
| user_e | I've installed almost no packages | 01:12 |
| suttiwit | hmm | 01:12 |
| user_e | this is fresh ubuntu | 01:12 |
| osse | How can I determine from the command line whether a certain block device (/dev/sdx) is a hard drive or a memory stick etc. ? | 01:13 |
| suttiwit | user_e, you mean, suddenly it crashed without you touching compiz? | 01:13 |
| user_e | suddenly the window manager crashed with an error that compiz had crashed | 01:13 |
| user_e | i never touched compiz | 01:13 |
| suttiwit | ah | 01:13 |
| Arkan | Is there an expert on dual boots of ubuntu in the house? | 01:13 |
| suttiwit | then it is a bug. user_e, report it at launchpad. | 01:13 |
| user_e | how could I get my window manager back? | 01:14 |
| === mersault_ is now known as mersault | ||
| kostkon | user_e, what do you mean? | 01:14 |
| suttiwit | user_e, i don't know the solution.... you might probably want to try new window manager... | 01:14 |
| kostkon | user_e, what graphics card do you have | 01:14 |
| user_e | I mean that unity does not come up when I turn on my computer | 01:14 |
| user_e | all I have is a blank desktop | 01:15 |
| user_e | and I have to use CTRL + ALT + T to get a terminal open and to get to XCHAT | 01:15 |
| kostkon | user_e, right, then you should try resetting unity | 01:15 |
| user_e | how do I do that? | 01:15 |
| kostkon | user_e, open a terminal, like you are doing already and give: unity --reset | 01:16 |
| user_e | graphics card is Geforce 650M | 01:16 |
| kostkon | user_e, then, if needed, to restart it, give: unity --replace | 01:16 |
| user_e | it says "ERROR: the reset option i now deprecated" | 01:17 |
| user_e | is* | 01:17 |
| kostkon | user_e, actually, ok, give me a min | 01:17 |
| rlmccormick | user_e: had an issue that looked similar just happen today. i have a gtx 660. ended up downloading the latest nvidia drivers and rebooted and everything came back. | 01:17 |

| dr_willis | Arkan: cant find any? should be dozens of pages on how to reinstall grub, and other tricks.. what is the system doing exactly? | 01:26 |

| Arkan | runing ubuntu live cd I cant detect windows7, but i have made the correct partitions to install ubuntu in the second hard drive | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | may be worth the effort to try 12.10 on it. it may handle UEFI better. | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | you have 2 totally seperate hard drives? that should make things easier also. | 01:29 |
| Arkan | hum... yes, i have not tried 12.10 | 01:29 |
| Arkan | yes | 01:29 |
| Arkan | what i thought | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | !info grub-uefi | 01:29 |

| dr_willis | if you use the manual partitioning ("Something else"), the difference is that you will have to create and use an EFI partition (see the "Creating an EFI partition" paragraph below). | 01:32 |
| davkbod-ld | !details | 01:32 |

| Arkan | not, I was thinking that ubuntu could run without uefi | 01:33 |
| emery-c | What more details do you need? | 01:33 |
| Arkan | since it is on another different hard drive | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | Arkan: from what i read it can.. but if you set the bios to not be uefi mode.. then the other os will have issues.. | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | again.. im just reading at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 01:34 |

| newroad | kostkon, yes i did | 01:49 |
| emery-c | How do i fix it, i am really confused? | 01:49 |
| emery-c | when i try to ping it says | 01:49 |
| kostkon | newroad, hmm, ok then | 01:49 |
| newroad | but not all of the commands listed here on this page. let me try this | 01:49 |
| emery-c | From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable | 01:50 |
| rogihor | i use Wcid for conect to Internet ) | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | how exactly did you set the ip? | 01:50 |
| emery-c | by editing one of the files | 01:50 |
| emery-c | /etc/init.d/networking | 01:50 |
| emery-c | it was in one of the tutorials | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | Hmmm.. im pretty sure you DONT edit that file.. but some other files | 01:51 |
| emery-c | oh | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | or you can use the ifconfig command | 01:51 |
| emery-c | how do i do that? | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | what does ifconfig say about the ip information? | 01:51 |
| emery-c | it says alot, anything specific? | 01:52 |
| dr_willis | inet addr:192.168.1.126 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 01:52 |
| emery-c | My ip is 192.168.1.2 BCAST 192.168.3.255 mask 255.255.252.0 | 01:52 |
| dr_willis | and the route command shows the default gateways | 01:53 |
| emery-c | ? | 01:53 |
| emery-c | oh | 01:53 |
| dr_willis | 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 | 01:53 |
| emery-c | it shows | 01:53 |
| Shadowix | hi is it possible to install ubuntu server without creating any user(as it is asking for one), just using root by default | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | the initial user is the admin user Shadowix with the root rights.. so i dont think thats a good idea | 01:54 |
| emery-c | 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 | 01:54 |
| emery-c | default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 | 01:55 |
| Shadowix | yes dr_willis, but i would like to do only a root user for testing purpose, possible? | 01:55 |
| emery-c | are the two that show up | 01:55 |
| lolcat | Shadowix: Sounds like a horrible idea, but you could always delete the user | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | Shadowix: no idea... | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | most likely NOT doable during the install | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | Shadowix: i wonder why you are using a netmask of 255.255.252.0 when its just a local lan, | 01:56 |
| emery-c | Me? | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | my networking skills are rather basic. im on a simple home lan here. so i dont need much more then the basics.. | 01:56 |

| xpistos | 0 20 * * 6 mv /home/x/Data/Dropbox/Camera\ Uploads/* /home/x/Pictures/Camera | 01:57 |
| newroad | kostkon: when I do unity-reset I get this error: "extension GLX is missing on display ":0.0". | 01:57 |
| xpistos | That should do it I think | 01:57 |
| newroad | and: "Fatal: glxQueryExtensionsString is NULL for screen 0" | 01:57 |
| emery-c | dr_willis How should it be set up then? | 01:57 |
| davelindberg | newroad: Do you have integrated graphics or a graphics card (and if so what manufacturer is the graphics card)? I had an issue with my ATI Radeon card on my laptop. The graphics driver from Ubuntu standard desktop installed driver and official driver from ATI site did not work. I installed Open Source driver and the Unity interface issue was fixed after reboot. | 01:57 |
| puppy_parade | it's taking > 30 minutes to boot from a flash drive with 12.04 on it | 01:58 |
| emery-c | I don't care the settings, i just need internet | 01:58 |
| puppy_parade | any idea how to find out what's wrong? | 01:58 |
| escott | xpistos, why not just symlink Camera Uploads to Camera | 01:58 |
| escott | xpistos, or vice versa | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | emery-c: my gateway ip is 192.168.1.1 so my netmask is 255.255.255.0 | 01:58 |
| emery-c | ok | 01:58 |
| emery-c | will that fix it? | 01:58 |
| blackshirt | emerc-y dhclient eth0 | 01:58 |
| emery-c | is it bad that i have 2 gateways? | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | the local lan just has a range of 192.168.1.* (1 throguh 255) | 01:58 |
| newroad | davelindenberg: its a Geforce 650M | 01:58 |
| kostkon | newroad, try rebooting again | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | im not evne sure what a netmask of 255.255.252.0 would mean. ;) | 02:00 |
| emery-c | haha | 02:00 |
| newroad | k, just rebooted kostkon, same thing | 02:00 |
| emery-c | is it bad that i have 2 gateways? | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | normally its a 255 or a 0 for each field./range.. | 02:00 |
| emery-c | ok | 02:00 |
| emery-c | but | 02:01 |
| emery-c | i have 2 gateways | 02:01 |
| emery-c | is that bad? | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | no idea. i only use the most basic of lan setups for my home. | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | router -> lan ;) | 02:01 |
| escott | dr_willis, that would mean a subnet of 10 binary digits | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | you are going router -- wifi ->laptop -> wired to a PC. (correct) | 02:02 |
| kostkon | newroad, did you install the nvidia graphics driver? check which driver you are using, try giving in the terminal: software-properties-gtk hopefully the window will show up | 02:02 |
| emery-c | yes dr_willis | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | escott: that clears it up..... ;) then again.. i barely know what a subnet is. ;P | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | emery-c: so your gateway is the ip of the laptop i would think. | 02:03 |
| emery-c | oh | 02:03 |
| emery-c | ok | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | since the laptop is useing internet conection shareing mode.. | 02:03 |
| davelindberg | newroad: Did you try the Nvidia driver from June 2012? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.59-driver.html?ClickID=d2mtm2tsoxksbkobmcnznsx20bn22ytbcymy | 02:03 |
| newroad | kostkon, i just installed the latest video driver per someone else in this channel | 02:03 |
| escott | dr_willis, yeah im not much more experience but his would range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.3.255 | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | isent it? | 02:03 |
| newroad | i had this problem before isntalling the nvidia driver, however. | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | emery-c: so what OS is on the laptop? | 02:03 |
| blackshirt | hello,good morning :d | 02:04 |
| escott | dr_willis, so except for not being a standard sized class A,B,C,D network it looks ok (the BCAST is correct) | 02:04 |
| kostkon | newroad, it seems that something has gone wrong then | 02:04 |
| newroad | kostkon, I realize ;) | 02:04 |
| emery-c | windows 7 | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | emery-c: you did turn on/enable the ICS feature of widnows? i thought that put a dhcp server on the windows box for the clients to get info from... | 02:05 |
| emery-c | Yes | 02:05 |
| emery-c | it had internet during install | 02:05 |
| newroad | btw, it looks like i can get a session manager to come up if I use Gnome. but both Cinnamon and Unity do not work | 02:06 |
| sebastian | i am not quite sure whether this is the right place but i might need some hel regarding the installation of ubuntu 12.04. could anybody help me? | 02:06 |
| emery-c | this is frustrating | 02:06 |
| escott | sebastian, ask | 02:07 |
| newroad | when I open nvidia x server settings it says: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA V Driver. Please edit you X config file" | 02:07 |
| kostkon | newroad, I think you need to remove that driver and try again to install the one from the repos. Or at least, open the software sources and select the nouveau driver, and there is a possibility that unity will start after enabling it. | 02:08 |
| emery-c | so the gateway would be my laptop ip addrtess? | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | since its the ics server yes.. the laptops gateway would be the routers ip#. | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | as i understand it. | 02:08 |
| newroad | actually i did install the one from the repos | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | be curious if a live cd just 'worked' with the same setup or not. | 02:09 |
| emery-c | No | 02:09 |
| sebastian | thanks, escott. i want to install ubuntu on my desktop pc. it is an (u)efi system. i select my cdriom drive with the uefi annotation. grub starts. if i choose "install ubuntu" the screen just goes black. same for "try ubuntu" | 02:09 |
| emery-c | the laptop has a diffrent ip then the router | 02:09 |
| newroad | if I do sudo nvidia-xconfig, I get this error: "WARNING: unable to locate/open x configuration file. New X Configuration file written to ..." | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | the laptops gateway should be pointing to the routers ip.... | 02:09 |
| darthdeus | hey guys, why could it be that a user i created isn't sourcing /etc/profile.d/* / | 02:10 |
| darthdeus | ? | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | darthdeus: ther default shell could be 'sh' instead of bash.. how did you create the user? | 02:10 |
| darthdeus | dr_willis: via chef, the shell is set to bash | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | chef? Never heard of it., | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | i normally just do 'sudo adduser billgates' ;P | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | check that they have the normal .bashrc* and other files from /etc/skel/ also | 02:11 |
| darthdeus | server setup automation thingy http://opscode.com/ | 02:11 |
| darthdeus | hm interesting, he has no bashrc | 02:12 |
| woot-0854 | dr_willis: what would adduser root do? | 02:12 |
| jrib | darthdeus: how are you sure they aren't being sourced? | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | woot-0854: explode the system. :) or just fail most likely | 02:12 |
| blackness | it would break | 02:12 |
| woot-0854 | :) | 02:12 |
| escott | !nomodeset | sebastian | 02:12 |
| ubottu | sebastian: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | there is a root user. just direct logging in as root is disabled | 02:13 |
| darthdeus | jrib: because there's one script inside of it which loads rbenv and it works for one user, but not for the other, and it's loaded via /etc/profile.d/rbenv.sh | 02:13 |
| jrib | darthdeus: do something simple like touch a file or echo | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | well i will bbl. | 02:13 |
| jrib | darthdeus: and make sure it's not a permission issue | 02:14 |
| darthdeus | jrib: it's not permissions, all /etc/profile.d are owned by root and both of the users have the same rights | 02:14 |
| darthdeus | looks like the user doesn't even have a home directory ^^ | 02:16 |

| blackshirt | is there a native driver for libreoffice to connect ? | 02:41 |
| Mitch_Starr | I can access the mysql server through Mysql workbench on the fedora pc so i know mysql is working properly, but my problem comes when i try to get libreoffice base to work. Should i go to a libeoffice irc to find better help or will this room suffice? | 02:41 |

| Mitch_Starr | the problem i think is my ubuntu server machine wont let me connect to mysql lthrough tcp/ip. I can connect to it through a ssh tunnel though, but base willnot let me do that. | 02:43 |
| davelindberg | newroad: maybe it can help. with my ati card, I opted to uninstall my driver from ati and install Open Source Galium driver. Which fixed my issue. | 02:44 |

| roothorick | Chaos7Theory: if you're getting graphical artifacting it's not gnome's fault... either a) your video hardware is in distress or b) your video driver has a problem (and frankly, this is Linux, the latter is unfortunately very likely) | 03:32 |
| roothorick | Chaos7Theory: and by the by, if you prefer apt-get there's an unofficial Ubuntu flavor that ditches Unity entirely for a 100% standard gnome 3 experience | 03:33 |

| Chaos7Theory | It's not that recent honestly. | 03:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | It predates the HD series. | 03:35 |

| Chaos7Theory | Didn't the first HD one come out in 2010? | 03:36 |

| xxiao | i.e. after i installed some stuff to /usr/local/bin, and who knows what else, i want to get back to a vanilla state, i.e. pure ubuntu release stuff | 03:37 |
| roothorick | still, that's pretty damn recent as Linux drivers go | 03:37 |
| roothorick | I wouldn't expect anything newer than a late GMA to be 100% | 03:37 |
| Chaos7Theory | So, pretty much SOL as far as an 'out-of-the-box' stability goes? | 03:37 |
| roothorick | well, you could try the gnome 3 "software" beta thing that fedora is doing | 03:37 |
| roothorick | don't remember exactly how it goes | 03:38 |
| roothorick | there definitely is a big push to get gnome 3 to provide a good experience on systems with compromised or nonexistent graphics acceleration so expect huge improvements over the next year | 03:39 |
| Chaos7Theory | Well, I have other motivations to switching back to Ubuntu, at laest namely the wide support it gets not in just community but software compatibility and support as well. At least, save for Sun Java | 03:39 |
| roothorick | Chaos7Theory: Ubuntu Gnome-Shell Remix is the best of both worlds that way :P and no, we don't officially have Oracle (it's not Sun anymore) Java. You have to use a custom installer out of a PPA. | 03:39 |
| roothorick | NOBODY has Oracle Java. Except Gentoo, because portage is crazy like that. | 03:40 |
| scarrs | there is no /dev/dsp ... what do I substitute? | 03:40 |
| roothorick | scarrs: the new location is /dev/sound/dsp. If you don't have that you're missing a module... | 03:41 |
| Chaos7Theory | Honestly I actually went through rather simple steps to get Sun Java to work on Fedora since they supply rpms, and also had setup a script that fixed Minecraft. | 03:41 |
| emery-c | Is there some kind of DHCP + TFTP server live cd iso i can download? | 03:41 |
| scarrs | roothorick: ty will edit my commands and see biab | 03:41 |
| scarrs | :) | 03:42 |
| Chaos7Theory | Mainly because OpenJDK doesn't work with Minecraft, and even Sun Java 7 doesn't work with Minecraft right away due the incompatibility with some of the internal plugins I found | 03:42 |
| roothorick | well, OpenJDK does work with minecraft, it's just really, really slow | 03:42 |
| roothorick | because the OpenJDK NAPI stuff is woefully unoptimized | 03:42 |
| roothorick | and LWJGL abuses the crap out of NAPI | 03:42 |
| Chaos7Theory | It was... uh, the liblwjgl files | 03:43 |
| roothorick | really? Java 7 has a problem with LWJGL? Oh, that does not bode well. | 03:43 |
| Chaos7Theory | OpenJDK doesn't work with Minecraft at all in actually with the most recent versions. It cannot register keyboard events | 03:43 |
| roothorick | it worked for me, just so goddamn slow | 03:44 |
| Chaos7Theory | If you try to move (walk) or type or whatever, it doesn't pick up anything. It only recognizes the mouse | 03:44 |
| roothorick | you sure that was the JDK's problem? | 03:44 |
| roothorick | JRE, whatever | 03:44 |
| Chaos7Theory | I searched on it, most other people had the same problem and pointed to OpenJDK | 03:45 |

| Chaos7Theory | Another more generic question, what's the point in having 'su' and 'sudo' instead of just one super-user command? | 03:50 |
| psusi | Chaos7Theory, sudo is a newer replacement for su that is far more flexible | 03:51 |
| Chaos7Theory | Which I noticed. It's annoying and pointless to so su -c 'blablah' when it's simpler to use: sudo command arguments | 03:53 |

| Chaos7Theory | Something I don't understand is the point in LVM. They say the point is 'easier to resize partitions', but that's BS, ._. . It takes a lot of work to just resize one partition, and it's a lot simpler to just use Gparted on a simply arranged system | 04:17 |
| micro_j | Is there any way short of doing a fresh install to get ubuntu back to as if it were a fresh install? | 04:22 |

| kj4 | micro_j: i'd just do a fresh install | 04:22 |
| rsser | I cant acess the internet, because I don't have browser. how can I decompress tar.bz2 files? | 04:23 |
| Chaos7Theory | If you have separate partitions for root and home, you can take the home folder and use it in your new installation so you don't lose all your personal files | 04:23 |
| Chaos7Theory | All you'd have to worry about from a fresh install then is reinstalling packages | 04:23 |
| Chaos7Theory | !lvm | 04:23 |

| brandon420 | rsser, You dont have to repeat your question | 04:24 |
| brandon420 | Using the terminal, or gui? | 04:24 |
| micro_j | I don't have any important things on the computer, I just want to do a fresh install without having to download and make a new install disc, as I'm away from home and have very slow internet | 04:24 |
| rsser | terminal, brandon420 | 04:24 |
| Chaos7Theory | Decompressing tar files should be installed by default. | 04:24 |
| rsser | but there is parameters | 04:24 |
| rsser | that you have to type | 04:24 |
| rsser | like -zxf | 04:24 |
| rsser | i dont remember them | 04:25 |
| brandon420 | rsser, tar jxvf | 04:25 |
| rsser | thank you, brandon420 | 04:25 |
| Chaos7Theory | The example I found was: tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz | 04:25 |
| brandon420 | yepp | 04:25 |
| brandon420 | tar jxvf <filename>.tar.bz2 | 04:26 |
| rsser | Chaos7Theory: it is tar.bz2 | 04:26 |
| Chaos7Theory | Oh, bv2? Yeah, -jxvf | 04:26 |
| rsser | it is different each one of them | 04:26 |
| kj4 | linux isn't in the same league as an ms os | 04:26 |
| brandon420 | rsser, just highlight me if you need me to look anything else up for you. | 04:26 |
| rsser | thank you, brandon420 | 04:27 |
| rsser | that's all | 04:27 |
| Chaos7Theory | And I don't think you need internet just in case you need to use a command. Do man's depend on internet access? | 04:27 |
| rsser | i thank you very much for everything, brandon420 | 04:27 |
| kj4 | Chaos7Theory: sadly, mans with computers, do... | 04:28 |
| micro_j | kj4: Is there a way to do a fresh install from within ubuntu without downloading and creating a new install disc? | 04:28 |
| brandon420 | no problem rsser | 04:29 |
| kj4 | micro_j: could be, but i'd best it's easier to burn a new copy | 04:29 |
| Chaos7Theory | Well, since you can access the IRC, at least you'll be able to use man command/program, or potentially: command/program -h or --help | 04:29 |
| Chaos7Theory | The help parameter depending on the command I believe | 04:30 |
| micro_j | kj4: I have no doubt that it would be easier, but I am away from home and have such slow internet that i'm trying to avoid having to download the whole thing | 04:30 |
| kj4 | micro_j: whats really wrong? user issue or system issue? | 04:31 |
| kj4 | micro_j: make a new user, delete the old one | 04:31 |
| kj4 | micro_j: that cleans up a lot of stuff | 04:31 |
| Chaos7Theory | Doesn't necessarily fix having an over-abundance and emss of packages | 04:32 |

| RamchandraApte_ | I think I know how to do it anyways. | 04:33 |
| rocsteady | Just now, I rsync'd a dir from a remote host to my local host | 04:33 |
| Chaos7Theory | I noticed that problem with Fedora, that with all the depencies I accumulated, it was getting really messy @_@ | 04:33 |
| rocsteady | & when I was specifying the path to the source dir on my remote host (from my local host) | 04:33 |
| Chaos7Theory | So it was easier to just reinstall the OS, than try to figure out which packages are no longer depended upon | 04:33 |
| m1rach4n | RamchandraApte_: it's much easier to remove your games btw | 04:33 |
| rocsteady | I was able to tab-complete the source dir | 04:34 |
| RamchandraApte_ | m1rach4n: I removed it. | 04:34 |
| RamchandraApte_ | but then I installed it again | 04:34 |
| rocsteady | I was using rsync over ssh (which by the way I'm a newbie to rsync) | 04:34 |
| RamchandraApte_ | m1rach4n: it's easier for me to blacklist the GPU module | 04:34 |

| RamchandraApte_ | m1rach4n: ? | 04:38 |

| very | bkc_: looks right. i thought you could only switch between applications with ALT+TAB. but i tested it now and it shows all windows. | 05:06 |
| very | i think my ALT+TAB menu changed somehow. mm.. looks better now. | 05:07 |
| Ghost2 | 啊 | 05:08 |
| very | bkc_: i read that ALT+<key above TAB> was for switching between the windows of the same app. but i can only switch between two of them. | 05:08 |

| very | bkc_: arch linux sounds great. i'm just afraid that there will be problems i cannot solve sometimes. and then i'll spend hours or days on a task before giving up. | 05:32 |
| bkc_ | very: indeed, if you don't already know exactly what you're doing, arch requires time, sometime lots of time ^.^ but if you have the time it's great for learning :) | 05:33 |
| Laptop1 | i am still sooo lost | 05:34 |
| bkc_ | very: Arch is mostly for fanatics (like me) and for people who want's a hobby ^.^ | 05:34 |
| Chaos7Theory | Sorry just I forgot to install wine and installing it now. ._. | 05:34 |
| * iuser blacklisted arch | 05:34 | |
| Laptop1 | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 05:34 |
| bkc_ | iuser: ? | 05:34 |
| moose-machine | bkc_: thx. i tried swtiching over to wicd when i first installed 10.10. however i had to uninstall network-manager instead, and it did not work. it was painful to locate and install network manager again. so i am a bit scared to try that again. :( | 05:34 |
| Laptop1 | please look at step 2 | 05:34 |
| Laptop1 | and wtf should i do there? | 05:34 |
| Chaos7Theory | Okay, you selected the Distribution. | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | Hit the browse button. | 05:35 |
| Ben64 | Laptop1: hit browse and go to the iso you downloaded | 05:35 |
| Laptop1 | why do they to make this hard? | 05:35 |
| Laptop1 | i cant find it | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | Hitting browse isn't that hard. ._. | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | What OS are you on | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | ?* | 05:35 |
| Laptop1 | windows | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | I mean, Windows XP, or Windows Vista/7/8? | 05:35 |
| Laptop1 | 8 | 05:35 |
| bkc_ | moose-machine: uninstalling NM shouldn't be required to use wicd, but disabeling is (sudo service network-manager stop) | 05:35 |
| godlyhell_ | I'm having a serious issue. | 05:35 |
| Chaos7Theory | It should ber under your user folder, then there would be a folder called Downloads, or it could have potentially saved on the Desktop instead. | 05:36 |
| Chaos7Theory | be under* | 05:36 |
| gmachine_24 | godlyhell_, what is your problem. keep the editorials to a minimum | 05:36 |
| godlyhell_ | Updated from 11.10 to 12.04 and towards the end it went goofy forcing me to hardboot. | 05:37 |
| moose-machine | bkc_: that's great. thank you for that. and does wicd kick in automatically or do i have to start it from the terminal also? | 05:37 |
| Laptop1 | i cant find it, why do they make this so hard on people who dont know shit about it? | 05:38 |
| very | i guess i would try arch if i had a fallback computer with a more user friendly os. so whenever there is a difficult problem i'm not forced to solve it immediately. | 05:38 |
| Laptop1 | im just trying to install it | 05:38 |
| Ben64 | Laptop1: you downloaded the ubuntu iso, correct? | 05:38 |
| bkc_ | moose-machine: you have to start the daemon (sudo service wicd start) and then either start wicd-{gtk,cli} manually or as an autostart (this only works on the gtk-version as you might understand ^.^) | 05:38 |
| bkc_ | moose-machine: so it's pretty much exactly like how NM works :) | 05:39 |
| moose-machine | bkc_: great thanks. :) | 05:39 |
| Grayham | Laptop1, it's Microsoft making it hard, they are evil. | 05:39 |
| godlyhell_ | Now everything is all screwy. I'm sure the update didnt fully install but I cant figure out how to reinstall it. | 05:39 |
| Ben64 | godlyhell_: If you want help, describe your problem. Saying that everything is "screwy" doesn't give us anything to go on. | 05:40 |
| Laptop1 | chaos: i should have known, they make it sooo hard to install linux | 05:40 |
| Laptop1 | those asses | 05:40 |
| Chaos7Theory | Well, did you ever open the browser and its download window like I said? | 05:41 |
| godlyhell_ | After I booted up from hardbooting it, it looked like the install was successful. The whole look was different. | 05:41 |
| gmachine_24 | moose-machine, there is a way to get wicd to start automatically when you boot your computer | 05:42 |
| Chaos7Theory | It's just a matter of finding where your downloads go by default. | 05:42 |
| godlyhell_ | After rebooting again, it all reverted back to 11.11. | 05:42 |
| Chaos7Theory | @ Laptop1 | 05:42 |
| Laptop1 | ok trying agin | 05:42 |
| Chaos7Theory | Which browser did you use to download the file? | 05:43 |
| newroad | hmmm | 05:44 |
| newroad | i'm trying to manually stop x to manually install nvidia drivers | 05:44 |
| newroad | but when i stop it, i never get command line | 05:44 |
| gmachine_24 | rc-update add wicd boot, I believe | 05:44 |
| newroad | I'm using sudo service lightdm stop | 05:44 |
| Ben64 | newroad: why are you installing them manually? | 05:45 |
| bkc_ | newroad: try CTRL+ALT+F1 :) | 05:45 |
| === Ex0deus is now known as Guest98715 | ||
| newroad | because when i install through repos it crashes my computer | 05:45 |
| Ben64 | newroad: you'll have more problems down this path | 05:45 |
| newroad | thanks bkc | 05:45 |
| newroad | Ben, why? | 05:45 |
| Ben64 | and it's unsupported here | 05:45 |
| chaospsychex | Ben64: a manual installation is unsupported ? | 05:46 |
| Ben64 | every time the kernel changes, you will lose video | 05:46 |
| Ben64 | chaospsychex: yep | 05:46 |
| bkc_ | that isn't correct anymore... | 05:46 |
| chaospsychex | bkc_: what? the kernel changing and loosing video or that #ubuntu doesn't support a manual installation procedure ? | 05:47 |
| bkc_ | chococrois: kernel-part... | 05:47 |
| Chaos7Theory | Weird... Ubuntu's video is really, really sugglish in VIrtualBox despite the fact I've given it 1.25 GB RAM and 64 MB of video memory and 3D Hardware Rendering | 05:47 |
| Ben64 | #ubuntu doesn't even support PPA's | 05:47 |
| newroad | even with CTRL ALT F1 i get an error that X is still running | 05:48 |
| Ben64 | newroad: have you tried "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 05:48 |
| newroad | do I use the hotkey after stopping X? | 05:48 |
| bkc_ | Chaos7Theory: It's virtualized so not that much of a surprice really :P | 05:48 |
| newroad | Ben, I wated 14 hours today on that | 05:48 |
| newroad | wasted* | 05:48 |
| bkc_ | newroad: sudo killall -s 9 X | 05:48 |
| Ben64 | newroad: what was the problem | 05:48 |
| bkc_ | after stopping lightdm | 05:48 |
| gmachine_24 | godlyhell_, did it revert to the earlier version or did it just revert back to the previous GUI/desktop | 05:48 |
| Chaos7Theory | It's a surprise to me because other OSes haven't had as much problems. x-x' | 05:49 |
| newroad | Ben, it was giving this error: | 05:49 |
| newroad | extension GLX is missing on display 0.0 | 05:49 |
| newroad | and I ended up having to reinstall ubuntu | 05:49 |
| godlyhell_ | I think just the desktop. I'm not sure. The login page is different now, too. And under info it does say it's version 12.04. | 05:49 |
| Chaos7Theory | Then again, I haven't updated the guest OS ye, so that's probably why. | 05:49 |
| newroad | i lost Unity, and then I couldn't even change my res from 640 | 05:50 |
| Ben64 | newroad: what does "lspci | grep -i vga" say | 05:50 |
| newroad | its a geforce 650m | 05:51 |
| Chaos7Theory | Pretty high-end. | 05:51 |
| Ben64 | is that the only card in there? | 05:51 |
| bkc_ | newroad: screw manual install and go with the x-swat ppa instead :) | 05:52 |
| OerHeks | newroad, hybride optimus? | 05:52 |
| BluPhenix316 | hey guys when i boot the ubuntu 12.10 install cd, it just boots to a black screen with the mouse pointer | 05:52 |
| BluPhenix316 | i can ctrl-alt-f1 and get to a command prompt though | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | i want all users, guest and remote login away from login screen, how do i do this? | 05:52 |
| vivid | newroad, that product isnt on the support list for 304.43 (nvidia-current) http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.43-driver.html | 05:52 |
| Chaos7Theory | 650m is mobile, so that'd be weird if there was more than one dedicated video card in a laptop xD | 05:52 |
| vivid | or, scratch that, it most certainly is :p | 05:53 |
| bkc_ | vivid: hence why he's trying to install a newer version manually :) | 05:53 |
| newroad | i tried x-swat ppa as well, actuallty | 05:53 |
| DBoyz | Hi. I ubuntu seems to have some problem. how do i fix this - http://123talk.in/internal-error.png | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | newroad: have you tried the 310 drivers from the repository | 05:53 |
| shantorn | what is the default sound system in 12.10 pulse or alsa? | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | shantorn: both | 05:53 |
| bkc_ | newroad: If I'm not mistaken (or outdated) x-swat should keep up with nvidia.com, so manually is actually never required :) | 05:54 |
| Chaos7Theory | Is there a reason Ubuntu lacks a fallback mode like Unity 2D now by default? | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | bkc_: yes but x-swat uses the stable ones | 05:54 |
| bkc_ | shantorn: pulse is a wrapper on top of alsa | 05:54 |
| BluPhenix316 | oh btw, i did find out in my ubuntu vm, if anyone tries to install the netflix-desktop from the ppa, netflix will only work if you have mscorefonts installed | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | the new 310 drivers have more performance but aren't "stable" yet | 05:54 |
| bkc_ | Ben64: uhm, yes... should be sufficient for a 650m :) | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | editing users.conf from etc/lightdm doesnt work for me, i want all users away how can i do this? | 05:55 |
| newroad | this right? | 05:55 |
| newroad | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 05:55 |

| Chaos7Theory | It means that if you don't like it, you can uninstall it. | 05:56 |

| vivid | rhineheart_m, sure you can. just be sure you give yourself some swap space | 06:31 |
| carrera | hi rhineheart_m | 06:31 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, you should upgrade your ram. old sdram like that is practically free | 06:31 |
| rhineheart_m | so technically 256 mb of swap? | 06:32 |
| OerHeks | Guest12154, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Lightweight_GUI_alternative_.28Xubuntu_and_Lubuntu.29 | 06:32 |
| carrera | what's the best way to install a package residing on the local disk, dpkg -i or is there an apt-get equivalent? | 06:32 |
| iuser | my linux distro run the whole system in the ram and it has persistence features | 06:32 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, i would give at least 1 GB of swap. | 06:32 |
| rhineheart_m | ok. I thought it's going to be 2x of the actual ram. | 06:32 |
| OerHeks | carrera, dpkg -i is the correct way to do so. | 06:33 |
| rhineheart_m | based on the link.. it's 512 mb.. as the minimum for xubuntu or lubuntu | 06:33 |
| nowayride | That's an old school rule of thumb that usually doesn't apply these days | 06:33 |
| vivid | yeah, its a rule of thumb that is useful for suspending laptops i think | 06:33 |
| nowayride | That would make sense | 06:34 |
| nowayride | I know I wouldn't want to dedicate a TB HD to a server :P | 06:34 |
| vivid | though, 1 GB would be sufficient, its never bad to have too much ram | 06:34 |
| rhineheart_m | if xp can run smoothly in 256 mb...why not ubuntu? just a thought :) | 06:34 |
| nowayride | To swap* | 06:34 |
| vivid | yeah i would give this system 16gb of swap..lol | 06:34 |
| nowayride | I roll 256mb page file on my Windows box lol | 06:35 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, xp was released 11 years ago....ubuntu was released last month | 06:35 |
| newroad | vivid: come here, i'm going to give you a kiss | 06:35 |
| veryangry | anyone? | 06:36 |
| veryangry | http://pastebin.com/yJre8XqB | 06:36 |
| iuser | i don't use swap file at cause of the speed | 06:36 |
| vivid | newroad, youre welcome, if you wish to file some complaints, i believe theres a discussion about optimus going on in the linux kernel mailing list right now | 06:36 |
| rhineheart_m | vivid, ok..to make it fair.. what's the version of lubuntu that can still run smoothly in 128mb? | 06:36 |
| Guest12154 | ok oerheks | 06:36 |
| Guest12154 | listen up | 06:36 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, /shrug probably none of them | 06:37 |
| newroad | bumblebee seems to have solved everything | 06:37 |
| Guest12154 | to get root access for thunar | 06:37 |
| Guest12154 | type the following | 06:37 |
| Guest12154 | gksudo thunar | 06:37 |

| lotuspsychje | whats the command to purge remove zeitgeist completly again? | 06:38 |
| Guest12154 | so the next time someone has a problem like that | 06:38 |
| Guest12154 | you know | 06:38 |
| OerHeks | Guest12154, that would be obvious, if you don't use nautilus | 06:38 |
| Guest12154 | true it would | 06:38 |
| rhineheart_m | actually.. just trying to make those old pcs usable.. than to buy licenses (ms) which is actually more than the price of the pc :) | 06:38 |
| Guest12154 | but i asked you and you said go here and leave me alone | 06:39 |
| Guest12154 | basicly | 06:39 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, just give it swap and it will be usable...not fast, but usable | 06:39 |
| MrPiracy | is there anything wrong with NVIDIA drivers in version 12.10 x64 ? | 06:39 |
| Guest12154 | instead of the obvious | 06:39 |
| vivid | MrPiracy, not that ive seen | 06:39 |
| MrPiracy | after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 a few weird things started happening | 06:40 |
| Guest12154 | anyway thanx for the help atleast | 06:40 |
| rhineheart_m | thanks anyway guys. :) will give lubuntu a try though | 06:40 |
| vivid | rhineheart_m, good luck | 06:41 |
| rhineheart_m | which is lighter? xubuntu or lubuntu? | 06:41 |
| rhineheart_m | thank you vivid | 06:41 |
| Guest12154 | i would say lubuntu | 06:41 |
| MrPiracy | if i use Nouveau, everything seems to be fine, but if I change to nvidia-current, I have a different desktop every 2 boots | 06:41 |
| vivid | +1 lubuntu | 06:41 |
| Guest12154 | you only need 256mb to boot the live cd | 06:41 |
| Guest12154 | xubuntu im not sure | 06:41 |
| vivid | MrPiracy, what do you mean you have a "different desktop" | 06:42 |
| nowayride | Maybe switching to 2d? | 06:42 |
| rhineheart_m | MrPiracy: I like your nick.. reminds me of MS products | 06:42 |
| very | okay, now i've switched to the xfce wm. but now when i use the mouse wheel on an unfocused window it receives the focus. is there a setting to change this? | 06:42 |
| TheNewsGuy | Hey Guys!! | 06:42 |
| MrPiracy | vivid, the login screen says 12.04 instead of 12.10 and all my desktop icons are gone, everything comes back to normal if i simply reboot | 06:43 |
| MrPiracy | rhineheart_m, ty, that was the purpose ;) | 06:43 |
| === ix_ is now known as Guest59879 | ||
| very | i've looked through the window manager settings. but the best i've found is "Raise on click". with this setting deactivated at least the window won't be raised when i scroll it. | 06:44 |
| rhineheart_m | what version are you using? :) MrPiracy | 06:44 |
| MrPiracy | rhineheart_m, i just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 64bits | 06:44 |

| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||
| MrPiracy | rhineheart_m, when the computer is starting, i see the graphic screen, but some text are added to it saying something about kvm being disabled | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy: its recommended to clean install instead of upgrade | 06:46 |
| MrPiracy | rhineheart_m, and when shutting down, it says killing all processes fail | 06:46 |
| ix_ | is it worth it to install ubuntu 64bits if I have the 32bit version on a 64 bit machine? it works fine | 06:47 |
| MrPiracy | lotuspsychje, i know ... it's been a while I don't use ubuntu, so i was hoping upgrade was working flawlessly | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy: i had same few issues on upgrade, so clean installed works flawless | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | ix_: ubuntu64 is def worth installing | 06:48 |
| ix_ | lotuspsychje, ok, thanks, maybe I will do that | 06:48 |
| very | oh, i just found the setting i needed. it is in "Window Manager Tweaks" > "Accessibility". strange place for this setting. | 06:48 |
| ix_ | lotuspsychje, I wanted a minimal install anyway | 06:48 |
| MrPiracy | lotuspsychje, as far as i remember, i had this very same issue when upgrading gutsy gibbon years ago | 06:48 |
| MrPiracy | :( | 06:48 |
| Gyro54 | I have a Thunderbird where the menus are broken. I have removed and reinstalled but it is still broken. How can I completely remove then start again? | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy: i know upgrading always got hardon settings to new system.. | 06:49 |
| very | and the description of the settings is even wrong. | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy:so these days i always clean install | 06:49 |
| MrPiracy | lotuspsychje, yeah, i think i will end up doing it | 06:50 |
| MrPiracy | lotuspsychje, do you happen to know if 12.10 install will let me install grub2 to partition instead of mbr without any extra tweaks? | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy: i think default clean install will install grub2 on first section of your hd | 06:52 |
| bkc_ | MrPiracy: no | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | MrPiracy:but you can manually partition and choose this grub2 on first of your hd | 06:52 |
| MrPiracy | lotuspsychje, bkc_, yes, ubuntu will kill my mbr ... i like to use chameleon instead of grub as my boot loader (cosmetic reasons) | 06:53 |
| MrPiracy | i'm guessing clean install will be easier :( | 06:54 |
| MrPiracy | anyways ... thanks | 06:55 |

| Gyro54 | userz: they will be very old desktops. boot from usb has been around for 7 or 8 years i would think | 07:34 |

| SushiDude | Hi, I was having some issues with compiz so I reseted the settings to default using ccsm and now unity is broken... I tried restoring the compiz settings files(~/.config/compiz-1 and ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1 and .gconf/apps/compizconfig-1). I tried re-enabling the unity plugin. Nothing has worked | 07:43 |
| SushiDude | is there anyway I can reset unity? | 07:44 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: Well, unity --reset, but I'm not sure it resets the compiz settings as well | 07:44 |
| SushiDude | unity --reset does not work in 12.10 | 07:44 |
| SushiDude | they removed it | 07:44 |
| theadmin | Oh, I see | 07:44 |
| theadmin | Then I dunno | 07:44 |
| sudoecho | userZ: to get around not being to boot from usb, you can download 'ploop' and burn the image to a bootable cd, set cd-rom to boot first and let ploop load. Then select USB from the menu, if you have a bootable USB drive plugged in it should boot | 07:45 |
| sudoecho | *being able to | 07:45 |
| SushiDude | I don't want to have to do a full restore because then I will lose everything I did today | 07:45 |
| SushiDude | but I don | 07:45 |
| theadmin | sudoecho: It's "plop". | 07:45 |
| SushiDude | but I don't know where compiz stores all of its settings | 07:45 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: Well you could go to extremes and remove ~/.gconf and ~/.config altogether | 07:46 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: But that may affect other apps (reset their settings) | 07:46 |
| sudoecho | theadmin: oh right. userZ, download plop... forget ploop... not sure where I got the extra o. | 07:46 |
| SushiDude | theadmin, I am not going to remove those... | 07:46 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: Alright then I'm out of ideas | 07:47 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: Try: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ | 07:48 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: After which restart Unity: setsid unity | 07:48 |
| userZ | yea thanks, plop looks like the solution | 07:48 |
| simplew | im having problems with upload packages in ppa, anyon around that can help with it? | 07:49 |

| SushiDude | theadmin, dconf seems to have a lack of documentation, what does the "-f" option do? | 07:50 |
| SushiDude | I am assuming it forces the reset? | 07:50 |
| theadmin | SushiDude: Not too sure. I found this by searching for "reset compiz ubuntu 12.10" | 07:50 |
| simplew | theadmin: exactly, the issue is that i did upload a package and then i deleted it, and now i have upload a new build with dput -f and it doesnt appear in my ppa | 07:51 |

| rawfodog | milo64, sometimes different terminals have different color profiles. If you are connectting from another computer then the first time you saw the colors, there is a good chance this would be the reason. | 08:19 |

| theadmin | joshua342532453: "runs fine in wine" can often be *very* hardware-specific | 08:31 |
| Bl4cklisted | make sure to grab winetricks | 08:31 |
| joshua342532453 | will do thanks | 08:31 |
| userZ | i need a dvd burner, how cheap do they go $15? | 08:31 |
| joshua342532453 | ive got wine tricks | 08:31 |
| theadmin | joshua342532453: Can work perfectly with one ATI card but fail with another, for instance | 08:31 |
| theadmin | userZ: ##hardware | 08:31 |
| * rawfodog facepalms | 08:31 | |
| theadmin | joshua342532453: Generally, check #winehq for wine-releated questions | 08:31 |
| anonym | theadmin; yeah, but that wont help with a dead drive, what is DD the drive? | 08:32 |
| theadmin | rawfodog: PlayOnLinux just gives you a nice menu to run your apps in wine, it won't increase the performance | 08:32 |
| theadmin | anonym: dd if=/dev/sda of=something.img | 08:32 |
| Orion78 | Jordan_U: Yes, that is correct. | 08:33 |
| Orion78 | Jordan_U: Sorry, I was looking for an answer on the web right now. | 08:33 |
| scotty^ | llutz_ That same command gives me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon R350 [Radeon 9800 Pro] [1002:4e48] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | Orion78: The settings used in entries for other detected distributions are taken from that distribution's bootloader's configuration files, so if that distribution is configured to use UUID, the entry will have UUIDs (and if not, then not). | 08:34 |
| Bl4cklisted | Ive had issues with playonlinux - wine really isnt that bad to figure out without PoL anyway | 08:35 |
| Orion78 | Jordan_U: I did not know that. So I should reboot, reconfigure other system and try again. Many thanks. | 08:36 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest43432 | ||
| Jordan_U | Orion78: Yes, that's the simplest solution. | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | Orion78: You're welcome. | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | Orion78: (You'll also need to go back into Ubuntu and run "sudo update-grub" to re-write the grub.cfg with the new settings). | 08:37 |
| Guest43432 | hello, its 2:37 and stuck on a 12 hour CQ shift, good thing for irc i guess | 08:37 |
| blackshirt | 12 hour ? Its amazing .... | 08:37 |
| Guest43432 | military man, they could tell me 24 hour shift and it would not have supprised me much | 08:38 |
| === Guest43432 is now known as DarthEaron | ||
| theadmin | Guest43432: isn't that, like, illegal? work shifts are supposed to be 8 hours long at most :/ Either way, this is an Ubuntu support channel. Ask away if you have any related questions, if not please check out #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus | 08:38 |

| auronandace | scotty^: the update manager tells you whether you need to reboot | 08:43 |

| scotty^ | np | 08:49 |
| scotty^ | got a lot of errors on the console when I did that, but they are mostly about gestures and this is a desktop system without a touchscreen or trackpad so it's probably OK. | 08:53 |

| naftilos76 | hi everyone, how do i remove a package without removing its' dependencies? | 09:35 |
| naftilos76 | or rather purge | 09:35 |
| Bl4cklisted | naftilos76: apt-get remove [x]? | 09:36 |
| naftilos76 | sudo dpkg --purge --nodeps pkg_name ? | 09:36 |
| naftilos76 | no that is remove WITH deps | 09:36 |
| Alarm | hello , i got a weak signal on my realtek 8187 wireless. i thought of manually installing the drivers from realtek . i saw on their website that the drivers are for kernels Linux driver for Kernel 3.0.0/3.1.0/3.2.0 | 09:36 |
| Alarm | i have a kernel version 3.5 , would that be a problem ? | 09:37 |
| Bl4cklisted | naftilos76: Ah my bad - currently not in *buntu | 09:37 |
| llutz_ | naftilos76: only if the deps aren't needed for any other package, but why keeping them? | 09:37 |
| naftilos76 | i installed some pkgs while i shouldn't and now i have to get rid of them but they ask for many pkgs to be removed with them and that is wrong | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | naftilos76 you want to keep orphaned dependencies? | 09:38 |
| UniLab | can I get some basic help? | 09:38 |
| MonkeyDust | UniLab if you're sweet | 09:39 |

| UniLab | yes Windows 8, and I want to install Ubuntu alongside | 09:40 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: I am sorry you downgraded to win8, but you could try the Wubi installer or just run a liveCD and install alongside during the install GUI process | 09:41 |
| MonkeyDust | UniLab is this link useful http://www.intowindows.com/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu/ | 09:41 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Or that^ | 09:41 |
| UniLab | :/ I am going to try dualbooting it in a virtual machine first, if I succeed, I will try IRL | 09:44 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Ubuntu has the "install side-by-side" option during install - A VM will not display that option since it would not detect another OS | 09:45 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: http://cloud.intowindows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Dual-Boot-Windows-8-And-Ubuntu-Step12_thumb.jpg | 09:45 |
| UniLab | bl4cklisted, i am going to install 8 in the VM first and then proceed to installing ubuntu | 09:45 |
| very | since i seem to have my scrollbar problem with web pages only i think i'm going to use a work around. i will just append a # in the location bar and therefore create a history entry for the original position. | 09:46 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: just as long as you do win8 first, I should go fine | 09:46 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: It should go fine* | 09:46 |
| UniLab | i know, microsoft is a b!tch and ditches linux | 09:47 |

| UniLab | also, does the "alongside" option create new partition? | 09:48 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Yes. Just for Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Windows will not see it, but Linux will see the Windows partition when youre using Ubuntu | 09:49 |
| UniLab | if you have 2 partitions, can you choose that which partition will be shrinked? Cause my C: is already small enough | 09:49 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: So for files you need on both OSs, save them on the Windows partition | 09:49 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: That may be an issue. You may need to use gparted | 09:50 |
| UniLab | or "Something Else" ? | 09:50 |

| Besogon | oh.. my fault | 09:52 |
| UniLab | bl4ck, so I can do it like this > http://bit.ly/U7PYuq | 09:52 |

| UniLab | yes. that is what the bit.ly links to | 09:54 |
| UniLab | an imgur album with these 3 pictures | 09:54 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: The "NTFS" type will be your Windows partition | 09:55 |
| UniLab | i just wanted to make the link short and not to post 3 long links | 09:55 |
| UniLab | I know | 09:55 |
| UniLab | why is windows 8 such a b!tch ?! | 09:55 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: You should be able to shrink and resize partitions from there | 09:55 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Because its Windows | 09:55 |
| UniLab | tbh, I always used linux just in VMware and all the virt. SW but I am still amazed by it and want to have it non-virtually | 09:56 |
| Ben64 | it works much better running for real | 09:56 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Otherwise, you may need to just use a Ubuntu LiveCD with gparted and shrink and resize partitions from there - I dont remember if its in there by default since I havent used ubuntu in a year or so | 09:56 |
| asterisk-Tester | Hi, i have a Lenovo y570 that I installed Ubuntu 12 64 bit, all was working ok but suddenly now the battery cant charge more than 48%, any idea ? | 09:57 |

| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Are you on a laptop? | 09:58 |
| UniLab | yes | 09:58 |

| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: What audio software do you have installed? | 10:00 |

| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Yikes - Id take some from D: if possible | 10:01 |
| antonio_ | bl4cklisted: I don't see how audio software will prevent the cdrom from loading audio...or even showing that its a blank cd | 10:01 |
| UniLab | yeah, I used to have dualboot 7 and 8 , 8 was running on a now non-existing G: which was a new 50GB partition created from D | 10:02 |
| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: You may need to try downloading a program that plays audio like Audacious or Brasero and it may downlad the required deps along with it | 10:02 |
| MonkeyDust | watussi http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Text-Editing-Processing/Others/The-Regex-Coach-9029.shtml | 10:02 |
| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: but come to think of it, I cant remember the last time Ive played a CD in Ubuntu | 10:03 |
| watussi | Mongolski: thank you ! did you try it ? | 10:03 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: If youre really uncomfortable, the Disk Manager in windows should be able to partiton for you, but it will not be able to set up the required filesystem | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | the software could be looking for the device at /dev/cdrom but /dev/cdrom is actually a link to the real device.. sometimes that link is incorrect | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | watussi guess it's me you're addressing and no, i haven't | 10:04 |
| UniLab | I know! I said that I will just shrink it in Windows but then I'll divide it into swap and ubuntu system in LiveCD | 10:04 |

| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: any files in it or does it appear empty? | 10:07 |
| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: I see | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: this is an Audio/Music cd? You dont mount those, or see files on them normally. Unless you are using some tool/plugin for the file managers that sort of uses a virtual filesystem on them to show the music as mp3 or other data | 10:09 |
| antonio_ | dr_willis: its showing the cd as totally blank | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | but is it an AUDIO cd? | 10:10 |
| antonio_ | yes | 10:10 |
| bekks | You cant mount an audio CD. | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | you DONT mount those. you normally will see them as blank because its not got a normal filesystem on it. | 10:10 |
| walex | dr_willis: there is actually 'cdfs' that allows mounting and auto-ripping audio CDs, but it always been little used | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | walex: yea. theres some other tools like that ive seen for KDE and I think one for nautilus also | 10:11 |
| walex | antonio_: the problem with audio CDs is that they can be ripped in many different ways, and they are not written in data made, but in a different mode. | 10:11 |
| MonkeyDust | antonio_ you need ext4 or ntfs or so on the cd, if you want to mount it - an audio cd does not have that | 10:12 |
| walex | antonio_: so they cannot be read like data CDs, they have to be auto-ripped. | 10:12 |
| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 | 10:12 |
| xnter | hunnybunny | 10:13 |
| === bkc__ is now known as bkc_ | ||
| walex | MonkeyDust: it is not the filesystem/not filesystem issue, audio CDs have a structure that can be interpreted as a filesystem if one wants. It is that they are not written in data mode, but in audio mode. | 10:13 |
| HunnyBunny | yes xnter? | 10:13 |
| walex | and there are many different ways to read audio mode, so CD ripping programs differ very much on that, and embedding a specific ripping method in a filesystem driver in the kernel is a bad idea. | 10:13 |
| antonio_ | monkeydust: I can't even listen to an audio cd on my computer then? | 10:14 |
| Bl4cklisted | antonio_: Try installing Banshee | 10:14 |
| bekks | antonio_: You can listen to an audio CD, but you cannot mount it. | 10:14 |
| HunnyBunny | xnter what is it? | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: determine what device the thing is /dev/sr0 most likely, and you just tell the player to play /dev/sr0 . Its possible the apps are using /dev/cdrom which MAY BE WRONG. | 10:14 |
| bekks | HunnyBunny: He is gone already. | 10:15 |

| bekks | u1204: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:16 |

| antonio_ | walex: its not even doing that | 10:16 |

| hanning | is anyone able to tell me how to configure pulseaudio to use spdif properly? it is working fine with ALSA | 10:17 |
| walex | antonio_: usually each CD drive has one analogue output socket on the front, for plugging in headphone, and an analogue output on the back for putting in a cable leading to your sound card. | 10:17 |

| kareti | QUESTION: is there any text based User interface like KDE? That will run only on tty? | 10:18 |
| walex | antonio_: when you tell the CD drive to play the CD, if the CD drive is connected to your soundcard, you need to enable the "CD-in" channel of your soundcard. Or else plug in headphones in the front docket. | 10:18 |
| antonio_ | walex: when I put the cd-in it doesn't play any kind of music...it shows it as a totally blank cd | 10:19 |
| walex | antonio_: alternatively, you can use a computer-based CD player that rips the track from the CD and puts them on disk and then plays those files. | 10:19 |
| bekks | kareti: The usual shell is what you are looking for then. | 10:19 |
| jalil | hey ya, insects, hehe... | 10:19 |
| walex | antonio_: you are not using a CD-drive player. | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: you dont use the file manager to access the cd.. it WILL be blank... thats normal.. | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | vlc /dev/sr0 (i think) should start playing the thing | 10:20 |
| walex | antonio_: perhaps this needs saying many times: CD disks can come in several different and incompatible formats, and CD-audio format is incompatible with CD-data format, and you cannot use the tools used to access CD-data disks for CD-audio disks. | 10:21 |
| kareti | bekks: I wish there would be a KDE like environment that is just based on text. like programs running on ncurses. i woud like to have every application to be on shell.. Just an idea. is there any such? | 10:21 |
| walex | kareti: TWIN. | 10:21 |
| bekks | kareti: Just use "screen", which offers you the ability to open as much shells as you want. | 10:21 |
| blackshirt | kareti, maybe you want develope de likes them :d | 10:22 |
| walex | antonio_: the tools for CD-audio disks allow you to do one of two things: play tracks via the CD-drive itself, not the computer it is attached to, or rip the tracks to a file on the computer. | 10:22 |
| jj99 | i'm able to start once a freshly installed ubuntu 12.10 | 10:22 |
| jj99 | any ideas? | 10:22 |
| bekks | jj99: Just remove the CD, and reboot. | 10:23 |
| jj99 | ehm? | 10:23 |
| jj99 | anyways i did remove the cd :D | 10:24 |
| bingo_ | hi, i have a pc where i tried to install nouveau driver after that i tried to install nvidia driver without be succesful... now when i turn on the pc i get this screen http://tinypic.com/r/2ik4fgj/6 anyone can help me please?? :) | 10:24 |
| bekks | jj99: You asked how to boot your computer after installing it. | 10:24 |
| jalil | hey, guys are there any community apps development i can join, with little programming experience? | 10:25 |
| jj99 | bekks nah, i asked if anyone has an idea why i can start a freshly installed 12.10 once | 10:26 |
| nowayride | bingo_ you have two DM? | 10:26 |
| nowayride | jj99 what do you mean start it once | 10:26 |
| UniLab | bekks, can I dualboot Ubuntu and Windows 8 like this : Windows 8 already installed and a bit of unallocated space prepared, boot livecd of ubuntu, choose "something else", divide unallocated space into swap and partition for ubuntu and the install? | 10:27 |
| blackshirt | jalil, maybe you need more spesific languages, there are #pyhton oe ##c | 10:27 |
| blackshirt | or | 10:27 |
| UniLab | *and then install | 10:27 |
| bekks | UniLab: Sure, why not? | 10:27 |
| jalil | blackshirt: but do they develop for ubuntu specifically? | 10:27 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: Sounds about right | 10:28 |
| UniLab | ok, I am just kinda afraid cause Windows 8 brought the amazing crappy bootloader that half of time isn't detected by grub >.> | 10:28 |
| bekks | jalil: Using a programming language, it doesnt matter whom you are developing for. | 10:28 |
| blackshirt | jalil, maybe you need more spesific languages, there are #pyhton oe ##c | 10:28 |
| Evil_Eric | sorry working out kinks | 10:28 |
| jalil | bekks: really? how about old billy's vb? | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | jalil vb in linux? | 10:29 |
| UniLab | microsoft is really cheap nowadays >.> they even put non-antialiased font in their setup process, it looks pixely like setup of DOS... | 10:29 |
| jalil | bekks: or delphi? I doubt that... | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | There was Delphi for Linux at one time | 10:29 |
| blackshirt | jalil, use gambas...they mimics vb' | 10:29 |
| Sliker | ahem, aliased corners on 12.10. | 10:29 |
| Sliker | makes me sad. | 10:30 |
| antonio_ | this is the output I get when I run vlc /dev/sr0 http://pastebin.com/VxLs3tnS | 10:30 |
| bekks | jalil: delphi is dead and buried, besides the fact that Delphi for Linux existed. | 10:30 |
| UniLab | sliker, better to have corners than whole UI... | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | I rember when Delphi for Linux was big news :) egads i am old. | 10:30 |
| Sliker | tru dat | 10:30 |
| jalil | MonkeyDust: yeah, ridiculous right? | 10:30 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| bekks | jalil: So which programming language are you interested in, besides writing M$ Office macros? | 10:31 |
| UniLab | fu** off M$, the Windows 8 in VM is sitting @ the Almost Ready screen for 20 minutes... | 10:32 |
| UniLab | jeez, I need it just for testing purposes... | 10:32 |
| nv | well thats just not right | 10:32 |
| nv | Win8 is quick to boot | 10:32 |
| Bl4cklisted | bekks: Probably pascal | 10:32 |
| jalil | bekks: the point wasn't which language I'd like to use... the point was which app development teams to join... | 10:32 |
| Bl4cklisted | nv: hes installing it | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | bekks: mIRC scripting. ;) | 10:32 |
| nv | Almost Ready screen doesnt take 20 minute | 10:33 |
| UniLab | nv, as soon as I did b!tch about how long does it take, it was on the start screen | 10:34 |
| MonkeyDust | jalil some 30 people in #ubuntu-app-devel -- you may have to register first | 10:34 |
| antonio_ | dr_willis: this is the output I get when I run vlc /dev/sr0 http://pastebin.com/VxLs3tnS | 10:34 |
| vmouse | hi | 10:35 |
| antonio_ | also when I run the command sudo lshw -C disk I get the following output http://pastebin.com/BWbHKZQp | 10:35 |
| bekks | jalil: Well, your choice of the team strongly depends on what you want to develop, and on which language do you want to use. | 10:35 |
| bekks | jalil: So it heavily matters. | 10:36 |
| jalil | bekks: well, I agree... | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | antonio_: try some other media players. have them try to play /dev/sr0 directly | 10:37 |
| jj99 | anyone tried running android emulator or other java dev tools in an ubuntu vm? | 10:37 |
| jj99 | that an viable option? | 10:37 |

| oldman | Does ubuntu 12.10 support wireless nic BCM94312?. If it does not where do I get the driver .? | 10:39 |
| walex | antonio_: try 'sudo apt-get install cdtool; cdinfo; cdplay' | 10:39 |
| bekks | oldman: BCM94312 or BCM4312? | 10:39 |
| oldman | bekks. Itis probably BCM 4312. AS listed in lspci. | 10:40 |
| joey_ | hello guys, do somebody ever tried to repair windows from linux? | 10:40 |
| dr_willis | joey_: depending on whats broke.. its doable | 10:40 |
| Bl4cklisted | joey_: All the time | 10:41 |
| joey_ | well i had tried a restauration from windows, being in dual boot with linux | 10:41 |
| bekks | !wifi > oldman | 10:41 |
| ubottu | oldman, please see my private message | 10:41 |
| antonio_ | walex: its returning with no_disc | 10:41 |
| Bl4cklisted | joey_: but as dr_willis has said, it depends on what the problem is | 10:41 |
| joey_ | but since then, windows is not bootable anymore | 10:41 |
| Bl4cklisted | joey_: Youll need to repair grub | 10:41 |
| userz1 | cant get Lubuntu or Kubuntu to auto internet connect...card is Realtek RTL8201N..any suggestions? | 10:42 |
| oldman | bekks: Thanks | 10:42 |
| dr_willis | joey_: that 'system rescue' live cd may be handy. or #windows may suggest other tools to try | 10:42 |
| joey_ | i installed linux again to obtain a new clean version of grub | 10:42 |
| Bl4cklisted | joey_: Ive used this a few times without any problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 10:42 |
| bekks | joey_: It is not necessary to reinstall the whole OS to accomplish that. | 10:42 |
| walex | antonio_: try again with 'cdinfo -d /dev/cdrom' | 10:43 |
| joey_ | well grub is ok to launch ubuntu | 10:43 |
| joey_ | but my windows need a repair, | 10:43 |
| antonio_ | walex: no_disc | 10:43 |
| walex | antonio_: or better 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/cdrom' just in case | 10:43 |
| joey_ | and i have no disc | 10:43 |
| bekks | joey_: But it is not necessary to reinstall Ubuntu for reinstalling grub. | 10:43 |
| bekks | joey_: Well, without having a disc, there is no way. | 10:43 |
| Bl4cklisted | joey_: It checks for other OSs during repair and adds them to grub | 10:43 |
| joey_ | is it possible to find something to burn? | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | joey_: there are legal ways to get a win7 iso/recovery cd. i recall some links to such sources on lifehacker a few months back | 10:44 |
| bekks | joey_: Thats illegal, basically. | 10:44 |
| walex | antonio_: also 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0' 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0' | 10:44 |
| joey_ | lol | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | #windows may know specifics.. it was a minimal windows iso from MS that was used for repairing. not reinstalling | 10:44 |
| joey_ | illegal or legal =p | 10:44 |
| bekks | joey_: It does matter. | 10:44 |
| antonio_ | walex: cdinfo: can't open cdrom (/dev/sr): No such file or directory | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | it was said to be LEGAL from what i recall. it was a tool/iso from MS | 10:44 |
| bekks | antonio_: /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/sr | 10:45 |
| joey_ | so its foundable on ms website | 10:45 |
| walex | antonio_: also 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0' 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/scd0' | 10:45 |
| Evil_Eric | blahhh im seriously considering going back to 12.04 | 10:45 |
| mando_ | I have a question. is ubuntu 12.04 still supported. I was just asked for a partial upgrade and I accepted at first but then it crashed when I had a program installing in sudo. So began updates again and the partial upgrade was gone. Only updates. So I'm wandering what the hell that is about | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | joey_: i found mention of it on the lifehacker web site. the #windows channel should know more | 10:45 |
| antonio_ | walex: no_disc | 10:45 |
| bekks | mando_: Yes, 12.04 is still supported. | 10:45 |
| walex | antonio_: if all of these fail, your audio CD is not readable or is indeed missing. | 10:45 |
| bazhang | mando_, for five years, so yes | 10:45 |
| === nv is now known as xrs1 | ||
| joey_ | ow okk (sorry first hour on irc) | 10:46 |
| antonio_ | walex: its definitely readable...its been played earlier on an actual cd player | 10:46 |
| joey_ | well thanks all i try to ask on their channel | 10:46 |
| mando_ | thank god for that. But why the hell was I asked for a partial upgrade then dissappeared? | 10:46 |
| walex | antonio_: it may readable only on a CD player, there are copy protection schemes that achieve that. | 10:46 |
| walex | antonio_: try again with 'cdplay' instead of 'cdinfo', just in case | 10:47 |
| antonio_ | no_disc | 10:47 |
| walex | antonio_: also check the light on the CD drive door, if it cannot read a disk there is usually a distinctive flashing pattern. | 10:47 |
| walex | antonio_: or try 'sudo cdeject -d /dev/cdrom' and then inserting it again. | 10:48 |
| antonio_ | walex: it flashes when I first put the cd in... | 10:48 |
| UniLab | guys, is 1GB partition enough as swap for ubuntu | 10:48 |
| antonio_ | that ejects it | 10:48 |
| OerHeks | UniLab, enough for swap, maybe not enough for hybernate/sleep | 10:48 |
| UniLab | what size is recommended? | 10:49 |
| OerHeks | UniLab, let the installer calculate. | 10:49 |
| MonkeyDust | UniLab about your RAM size, preferrably a bit more | 10:49 |
| MonkeyDust | or what OerHeks says | 10:49 |
| UniLab | ? | 10:49 |
| xrs1 | they want you to use 50% more than how much RAM you have | 10:49 |
| OerHeks | MonkeyDust +1 indeed more for hybernate/sleep | 10:49 |
| mando_ | UniLab, the size of whatever ram you are using . like monkeydust said | 10:50 |
| UniLab | I need to do "Something Else" while installing so I need a recommended size | 10:50 |
| plast1k | UniLab, 2X or 1X ur RAM should do | 10:50 |
| xrs1 | i dont use swap at all unless the comp has less than 2 gigs RAM | 10:50 |
| UniLab | my RAM is 4GB, can I give it 5GB? | 10:50 |
| mando_ | ok I'm restarting my comp. May or may not com back debating if unity is good for my nephews desktop or I go with linux mint mate | 10:50 |
| mando_ | chow | 10:50 |
| xrs1 | yeah | 10:50 |
| cnf | that's silly | 10:50 |
| cnf | at least set up a swap file | 10:51 |
| cnf | if you don't want to waste a partition | 10:51 |
| antonio_ | walex: anything else? | 10:51 |
| xrs1 | ? | 10:51 |
| xrs1 | waste a partition? | 10:51 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: For swap, usually 2GB is enough | 10:51 |
| UniLab | so what should I do? | 10:51 |
| walex | antonio_: i am trying it here and 'cdplay' etc. works... But no sound output | 10:51 |
| nrdb | hi... I have a network problem ... I a network on 10.0.0.0/24 and a VPN on 10.7.0.0/24 ... the VM handling the creation of the VPN is working correctly and can ping the VPN client ... how do arrange for any VPN traffic on the 10.0.0.0/24 network to be put on the VPN network? | 10:51 |
| walex | antonio_: probably because of pulseaudio, so looking at it. | 10:51 |
| xrs1 | creat a static route? | 10:52 |
| UniLab | ok, I have 4GB of RAM, if that is important | 10:52 |
| marvindoppelt | just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a new Lenovo 581. Am unable to setup LAN and WLAN and am suspecting it's a case of drivers. LAN is Atheros AR8161/8165 and WLAN is Broadcom 802.11n. Tried google but to no avail. Any help herein? | 10:52 |
| UniLab | right now I have 60GB of unallocated space, my laptop has 4GB of RAM, how much for swap? | 10:52 |
| UniLab | 2GB? | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | UniLab: 5gb should be plenty | 10:52 |
| cnf | xrs1: some people don't want to create a separate partition for swap | 10:52 |
| cnf | so you can just use a file on your root partition | 10:53 |
| Bl4cklisted | marvindoppelt: try DLing those device drivers on a different machine onto a usb and install them that way | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | 2 gb will be plenty. but wont let you do that hibernate/suspend stuff. (whichi never use anyway) | 10:53 |
| xrs1 | thats what i was saying. i dont have swap at all | 10:53 |
| walex | antonio_: I think laptop CD drives no longer have analog outputs... | 10:53 |
| UniLab | well, I do use hibernate/sleep, so 5GB of swap? | 10:53 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: That is plenty | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | UniLab: 5gb then would be a good idea.. of course you are assuming that hibernate/sleep will work. ;) | 10:53 |
| walex | antonio_: and in any case my laptop's audio card has no analog input other than the microphone, so no input from the cd drive. | 10:54 |
| Bl4cklisted | It doesnt always lol | 10:54 |
| cnf | UniLab: you could also try swaps or something :P | 10:54 |
| xrs1 | suspend usually isnt an issue. hibernate is retarded | 10:54 |
| OerHeks | cnf no, swap partition is a different partition type | 10:54 |
| Bl4cklisted | ^ | 10:54 |
| UniLab | well, 90% of time I just sleep/hibernate instead of shutdown | 10:54 |
| cnf | OerHeks: yes… so? | 10:54 |
| OerHeks | cnf, so .. no | 10:54 |
| cnf | UniLab: swapd, not swaps | 10:54 |
| cnf | OerHeks: no what? | 10:54 |
| antonio_ | this is super frustrating | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | UniLab: some times the sleep stuff dosent work on linux - it depends on the hardware a lot. | 10:54 |
| UniLab | so 5GB of swap or 2GB of swap or what?! everybody says something else | 10:55 |
| walex | UniLab: ideally 5 | 10:55 |
| OerHeks | cnf, don't try to be smart, just corrected your mistake. | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | UniLab: we clearly said.. 2gb = no sleep.. 5gb for sleep.. you said you wanted sleep.... | 10:55 |
| cnf | OerHeks: you didn't correct anything | 10:55 |
| Bl4cklisted | UniLab: 2GB is what is ually used, 5GB is enough if youre looking to suspend and hibernate | 10:55 |
| cnf | OerHeks: you are being vague | 10:55 |
| cnf | OerHeks: be specific, or be quiet | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | yea hibernate.. ;) not sleep. ;P | 10:56 |
| UniLab | ok | 10:56 |
| xrs1 | the official answer is 50% more than how much RAM is in the box. that makes it 6GB. that is overkill. 5GB will suffice without wasting space | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | too many variations on the term/idea/methods. | 10:56 |
| antonio_ | thanks folks...night | 10:56 |

I honestly thought it could take unity but I am experiencing all sorts of lag and I can't do snap windows. Would mints mate be a better choice for this pc. Hell lxde is laggy running ubuntu :( | 11:04 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Yikes - may consider running a lighter OS | 11:04 |
| joey_ | mmh how to find a french channel? | 11:04 |
| fego | joey_: /msg alis list *-fr* | 11:05 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Though it may be a vid driver issue | 11:05 |
| mando_ | Bl4cklisted, mint seems like a better choice | 11:05 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: I like mint a lot myself - currently on Arch | 11:05 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Ubuntu has gotten rather bloated as of late | 11:05 |
| marvindoppelt | Bl4cklisted, lemme give it a try and may you'll earn yourself a beer | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | lxde running ubuntu? You mean unity on lxde? or the lxde desktop is laggy? | 11:06 |
| cnf | OerHeks: so next time, either have something specific to say, or just stay quiet | 11:06 |
| bazhang | cnf, thats enough | 11:06 |
| bazhang | Bl4cklisted, lets stay on topic with Ubuntu support only | 11:06 |
| mando_ | Bl4cklisted, thank you for pointing that out. Thats sad becuase my nephew really like the unity bar. | 11:07 |
| joey_ | thank feo | 11:07 |
| bazhang | mando_, for help with MINT go to mintsupport | 11:07 |

| xrs1 | first / second gen P4 with 1GB DDR1 and 32MB GeForce256 is WAY more than enough. i have no problems with XFCE on a Duron 900 w/ 640 MB RAM | 11:09 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Its also dependant on what effects youve got turned on | 11:09 |
| xrs1 | there is a bigger issue at hand here unless you expected it to run like a ferrari | 11:10 |
| walex | xrs1: that is a bit optimistic if you have many windows/tabs on a web browser | 11:10 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: XFCE with a dock may end up running faster than Unity | 11:10 |
| mando_ | Bl4cklisted, I know right? but what I think it is the single processor. I think unity would demand something newwer. I dunno | 11:10 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Yeah, you are on a P4 . . . and only 1 GB of RAM | 11:11 |
| Bl4cklisted | mando_: Those may be your bottleneck | 11:11 |

| Sizur | Q: why 64-bit is still not recomended? I cannot have my main desktop not be recommended. should i install again opensuse or what? | 12:23 |
| Sizur | 32-bit these days is preflood tech | 12:23 |
| CorvusCorax | Sizur, theres a forum thread about that | 12:23 |
| Sizur | 2010\ | 12:24 |
| Sizur | that's a bit old | 12:24 |
| CorvusCorax | apparently the "recommended" means if you are a stupid user who doesnt even know whether he has a 32 or 64 bit system, its recommended to get 32bit because it would always work | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | Sizur: 32-bit if you don't care, 64-bit if you know what you are doing | 12:24 |
| Sizur | so there are no showstoppers with 64? | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | Sizur: it stops people coming in here moaning their faces off because Skype doesn't work properly | 12:25 |
| Sizur | lol | 12:25 |
| CorvusCorax | 64 bit is only for "advanced" users, where advanced + knows how many bits their CPU works with | 12:25 |
| CorvusCorax | ;) | 12:25 |
| Jordan_U | Sizur: Many (including most people you'll find here) disagree with that label on the website, and I'll note that there is a difference between having the 32 bit be recommended, and saying that 64 bit is "not recommended" (at least as most people understand the phrase "not recommended"). | 12:25 |
| xrfang | hi, the "Startup Application Manager" is missing in 12.10, how to get it back? | 12:25 |
| abailarri | bekks, You know that it is? | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | Sizur: anyway, unless you're using something that doesn't work well in 64-bit (generally proprietary software like Skype) then just use 64 | 12:26 |
| CorvusCorax | skype works in 64bit | 12:26 |
| bekks | abailarri: I know what? | 12:26 |

| midhuno | hi i bought a new acer aspire one d270 netbook but i can't install ubuntu 12.10 on it.........when will be it possible to install ubuntu onit with full driver support?? sorry for bad english and thanks in advance pls help me | 12:27 |
| Sizur | alrighty, how about latest kde? are any of you running it and what issues you have with ubuntus integration with it if any? | 12:27 |
| CorvusCorax | midhuno: try installing with the "network installaion" mini iso | 12:27 |
| bekks | midhuno: Whats the detailed problem? | 12:27 |
| bekks | midhuno: "cant install" is just too generic. | 12:27 |
| abailarri | bekks, my problem with Filezilla | 12:27 |
| CorvusCorax | that uses text mode only, so it will work on almost any hardware, and you can later use recovery mode to get your drivers working | 12:27 |
| CorvusCorax | its what I just did with my new Samsung laptop | 12:28 |
| midhuno | bekks : blank screen after booting...... but 12.04 runs well except 3d support | 12:28 |
| CorvusCorax | the install DVD would just wreze when the graphic driver loaded. I had to install in text mode and then manually install the latest proprietary catalyst drivers (the beta ones) to get it to run X | 12:28 |
| bekks | abailarri: I have no further idea, since filezilla is working fine here, and we've stepped through the obvious misconfigurations. | 12:28 |
| CorvusCorax | bekks: I had the same issue | 12:29 |
| CorvusCorax | blank screen, keyboard and mouse non responsive (crtl+alt+del didnt work either although the power button did) | 12:29 |
| CorvusCorax | I managed to get it installed using the net-installation mini iso since it uses text mode only | 12:30 |
| Domincii | Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10, I need to install it on a file that I can't format (of course I CAN format it, I just don't want to lose the files on it), I'm creating a new partition on it as Ext2 file system, where should I mount it? / or /boot? | 12:30 |
| m000gle | MonkeyDust: Actually, I may have found a solution ... If I symlink /home/gpodder (which contains the database and settings files) to C:\Users\<username>\gpodder , then the database files should remain in sync | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | Domincii: there are a few things wrong with that | 12:30 |
| Domincii | Please elaborate, im not great at this :P | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | Domincii: if this is going to be where you install Ubuntu, it needs to be mounted on / | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | Domincii: you do kind of need to start with the partition totally clean - it might well work with stuff already on it, but who knows what weird interactions it'll cause | 12:31 |
| CorvusCorax | Dominci:, "I need to install it on a file ..." I assume you mean "filesystem" | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | Domincii: and don't use ext2 unless you know what you're doing | 12:31 |

| mistaknly | Quick question... | 13:08 |
| mistaknly | Anybody there that can answer a Live CD question? | 13:10 |
| bekks | mistaknly: Not without knowing the question... | 13:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | !ask | 13:10 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:10 |
| mistaknly | Only have CD, not DVD drive | 13:10 |
| mistaknly | So I have to use the LTS version? Or is there a way to get the release version on a CD? | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu 12.10 can fit on a cd i belive or the minimal install image can go on a cd.. or use a USB stick | 13:11 |
| mistaknly | 12.10 is 758MB | 13:11 |
| gordonjcp | dr_willis: you do still need a lot of disk space for Lubuntu | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 Ububntu is a DVD correct. | 13:11 |
| OerHeks | There are 800 mb cd+r | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | dr_willis: I suspect that's a packaging bug though, because there's *no way* a Lubuntu install really needs 4GB | 13:12 |
| gordonjcp | don't use optical media, use USB | 13:12 |
| jiohdi | you can get bodhi linux 2.0 which is basically extremely light ubuntu 12.4 | 13:12 |
| mistaknly | Yeah, my machine won't boot from USB, boohoo... | 13:12 |
| mistaknly | old, old, old | 13:13 |
| bekks | jiohdi: And which is not supported in here. | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | [ ] lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso 17-Oct-2012 07:27 648M | 13:13 |
| bekks | mistaknly: 12.04 will be supported for 5 years, 12.10 only 18 months. | 13:13 |
| mistaknly | x86 | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | [ ] lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso 17-Oct-2012 18:14 699M | 13:13 |
| OerHeks | mistaknly, get the minimal like dr_willis suggested, and install Unity/gnome desktop tru internet. | 13:13 |
| jiohdi | bekks, its just a gutted ubuntu | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | for an old old old machine.. Lubuntu may be a better option | 13:13 |
| bekks | jiohdi: And not supported in here. | 13:13 |
| hex20dec | I'm so sick and tired of updates ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS ruining my OS. | 13:14 |
| hex20dec | Please help me once and for all, why is this always happening to me? The updates window popped up and all I did was let it update. Now my OS resolution is huge and for some reason it doesn't want to accept my password either. It's always something different. | 13:14 |
| hex20dec | What am I doing wrong? | 13:14 |
| mistaknly | ok thanks guys | 13:14 |
| jiohdi | bekks, no one is looking for support, but if someone needs to get ubuntu on a cd thats one way to do it, then just build back up from there | 13:14 |
| === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off | ||
| OerHeks | hex20dec, sounds like you installed videodrivers manually, you need to build them every time there is a kernel update. | 13:15 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: Mind helping me out here on how to do this? | 13:16 |
| OerHeks | hex20dec, you could do this tru a script, http://askubuntu.com/questions/111177/triggering-driver-module-rebuild-on-kernel-update | 13:18 |

| ix_ | would it work if I make a windows usb with dd? :) | 13:22 |
| ix_ | I'd like to update my bios and I have no idea how | 13:22 |
| jiohdi | ix_, you would have to visit the bios manufacturers website and see if they have a firmware update | 13:24 |
| ix_ | jiohdi, I already know that there is an update | 13:24 |
| jiohdi | there should be instructions on what to do, probably requires burning a cd | 13:24 |
| ix_ | jiohdi, I don't have an optical drive on that pc | 13:25 |
| jiohdi | messing up the bios and you wont have any sort of computer | 13:25 |
| ix_ | jiohdi, I know that much | 13:25 |
| jiohdi | is the bios causing errors? | 13:26 |
| OerHeks | ix_, maybe just burn the .bio like a data cd, and update from within the bios? | 13:26 |
| Led_Zeppelin | I have a graphics card with a DVI and VGA. CAn I use dual monitors for that ? | 13:27 |
| ix_ | OerHeks, it says that the .bio is for recovery of the bios in case it is left unusable | 13:27 |
| tarelerulz | I ran teamspeak for an script and it works ,but I can't see it now on any screen . Is there restore so I can see it again | 13:27 |
| jiohdi | Led_Zeppelin, if it works, I doubt you can do more than clone one screen to the other | 13:28 |
| Led_Zeppelin | i see | 13:28 |
| Led_Zeppelin | i already have 2 video cards. card 1, vga only. card 2 , vga + dvi. I have dual monitor setup. was wondering if I can do 3 monitor setu | 13:29 |
| P-Chan | HI guys I creating UBUNTU customized for live usb. How does I save user preferences in root? wallpapers, themes and etc | 13:29 |
| ix_ | OerHeks, look here http://tinyurl.com/bb324zs it says that it can boot from the usb, I just don't understand how | 13:30 |
| jiohdi | P-Chan, user preferences are usually in hidden files on the /home/user directory | 13:30 |
| iuser | ubuntu doesn't support persistence in casper mode | 13:30 |
| iuser | afaik | 13:30 |
| P-Chan | jiohdi: HOW MOVE to root | 13:31 |
| P-Chan | because home use root preferences | 13:31 |
| jiohdi | p-chan you can open a browser as root or sudo and then move anything anywhere you like | 13:31 |
| jiohdi | file manager that is | 13:31 |
| P-Chan | ok | 13:31 |
| CorvusCorax | I filed a bug report, is this an apropriate bug report or do I have to add information? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1080344 | 13:32 |

| jiohdi | P-Chan, what does that mean? | 13:32 |
| P-Chan | jiohdi: I saved my preferences in hard drive but I want use my preferences in live usb too | 13:33 |

| hex20dec | OerHeks: Sorry about the delay.. Uhmm.. I haven't installed any drivers manually. | 13:34 |
| TomyLobo | hi i'm trying to run jd-gui (an i386 app) on ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64. This is what i get: http://pastebin.com/9wNtfvBa | 13:35 |
| TomyLobo | the app apears to run normally, but i'm still concerned about those warnings hinting at a bug in multiarch | 13:36 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: Do I still need to go through that process in the link you sent me to? | 13:36 |
| OerHeks | hex20dec, yes, this time manually | 13:37 |
| TomyLobo | i tried to install the i386 version of appmenu-gtk (which contains that file), but wasn't able to do so because it conflicts with the amd64 version | 13:37 |
| TomyLobo | (resolved the oxygen-gtk warning in the meantime. looks much better now :)) | 13:39 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: It clearly says: "This guide is not aimed at users who have installed the drivers using EnvyNG or via the default Ubuntu mechanism." | 13:39 |
| vivid | TomyLobo, yeah you cant have both appmenu-gtk and appmenu-gtk:i386 at the same time | 13:39 |
| vivid | you could probably use LD_PRELOAD though... | 13:40 |
| OerHeks | hex20dec, envyNG is very old method to use win drivers | 13:40 |
| TomyLobo | vivid eh? manually specifying library paths? | 13:40 |
| JeffBauer | hey buddies, i still can't enable 3D on my AMD Hybrid notebook HP G42 :( | 13:40 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: I was talking about the ubuntu mechanism, which is how I got my drivers, I never installed any of them manually, it was all installed with the OS. | 13:41 |
| TomyLobo | i'm not even sure what that library does or why jd-gui needs it | 13:41 |
| vivid | no, if you download the i386 libappmenu.so, you can do say... 'LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libappmenu.so program" | 13:41 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: Sorry, I'm just a bit confused as to why I need to run this.. | 13:41 |
| OerHeks | hex20dec, oke, then you didn't install them bij downloading and applying yourself, then forget about this script, not suitable for you | 13:42 |
| vivid | hex20dec, its probably theres a misunderstanding what your problem is. it is not common or usual to have symptoms like yours | 13:42 |
| OerHeks | indeed, like vivid says | 13:42 |
| * OerHeks got the wrong conclusion | 13:43 | |
| dr_willis | EnvyNG? that may be a very old guide if it mentions EnvyNG | 13:43 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: I'm glad you did, because I didn't want to go through this. | 13:43 |
| hex20dec | =P | 13:43 |
| JeffBauer | HP G42-371 - Turion P560 2,5GHz, DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 6370M | 13:43 |
| JeffBauer | can't enable my gpu :( | 13:44 |
| vivid | TomyLobo, so, if you go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and download the i386 appmenu-gtk package, you can extract it to your desktop and use LD_PRELOAD to inject the correct libappmenu.so when you run the app | 13:44 |
| TomyLobo | vivid yup i know | 13:44 |
| vivid | k | 13:44 |
| hex20dec | As I stated before, why do I always get screwed after installing updates? What am I doing wrong? and how do I fix my video driver now? | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | JeffBauer: those Hybrid Gfx setups are the current 'top 10' issue these days. | 13:44 |
| vivid | hex20dec, maybe start with which video card and video driver youre using? | 13:45 |
| JeffBauer | dr_willis, oh that's so bad.. i'm about to downgrade to 10.04, because the proprietary driver works on it | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | JeffBauer: im suprised it does. | 13:45 |
| hex20dec | vivid: No video card, it's onboard video. | 13:46 |
| JeffBauer | dr_willis, perfectelly | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | i find it hard to belive drivers from 2 yrs ago work 'perfectly' on a new ati chipset. but do whatever you want. | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | could be its just ignoreign the 'right' thing | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | ignoreing ;) | 13:47 |
| hex20dec | vivid: So? What do I do? | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | vivid: onboard video IS a video card | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | oops that was for hex20dec ;) | 13:47 |
| hex20dec | I know, but it isn't a card. | 13:47 |
| vivid | maybe 'lspci | grep vga' would shed some light | 13:48 |
| === fromhet_ is now known as fromhet | ||
| dr_willis | hex20dec: #1 - determine your exact video CHIPSET | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | happy now? ;) | 13:48 |
| hex20dec | dr_willis: Yes. =] | 13:48 |
| vivid | lspci | grep -i vga | 13:48 |
| hex20dec | Will try now, thanks. | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | and it is on the pci buss so it is a video card. ;) | 13:48 |

| dr_willis | i dont even know your original problem.. i was feeding my dog.. ;) | 13:53 |
| hex20dec | Lol | 13:53 |
| graingert | JeffBauer: what's your issue? | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | intel drivers should be included by default anyway | 13:54 |
| hex20dec | It was, but after a normal update I lost them. | 13:54 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| dr_willis | you mean a upgrade from one reelase to the next? or a update but staying on the same release | 13:55 |
| hex20dec | My OS always get screwed after an update, every single time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm just allowing the update to happen. =[ | 13:55 |
| hex20dec | Simple update. | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | tried a | 13:55 |
| hex20dec | ? | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | tried a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' ? | 13:55 |
| hex20dec | No. | 13:55 |
| hex20dec | Should I? | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | ive rarely had updated break things. but a kernel update could i guess have regressions or other bugs | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | what do you hjave to lose. ;) | 13:56 |
| hex20dec | a lot! | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | dist-upgrade is a bit like a more hard-core upgrade | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | so your system is working? whats it doing exactly right now.. | 13:56 |
| hex20dec | Yeah, if update ruins my OS, I don't want to know what dist-upgrade will do. | 13:56 |
| hex20dec | Graphic driver is lost. | 13:57 |
| hex20dec | How do I get it back? | 13:57 |
| bekks | hex20dec: How did you install it...? | 13:57 |
| hex20dec | Last time I installed an update I wasn't able to log to my user, had to create a new one. | 13:57 |
| dr_willis | 'what is your system doing when you boot up exatly?' | 13:57 |
| hex20dec | The update gui pop up. | 13:57 |
| bekks | hex20dec: So how did you install the graphics driver last time? | 13:58 |
| hex20dec | Was installed upon OS installation. | 13:58 |
| hex20dec | Onboard card. | 13:58 |
| hex20dec | Onboard video. | 13:58 |
| fairuz_ | Hi anyone know about Ubuntu for Android from Canonical. How they do it? Same kernel with 2 OS? Or Ubuntu somehow runs in Android ? | 13:58 |
| bekks | hex20dec: Which chipset? | 13:59 |
| hex20dec | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 13:59 |
| hex20dec | dr_willis: What is it doing? Nothing, just booting normally. | 13:59 |
| vivid | fairuz, its not "released" yet, but i heard they have some focus on the nexus 7 with 13.04 | 14:00 |
| vivid | fairuz, if you youtube 'ubuntu nexus 7' im sure you can find some people that have installed it on the device, but the usuability and performance is pretty low | 14:01 |
| hex20dec | dr_willis: But seriously, why do I always have something messed up after updates? | 14:02 |
| vivid | hex20dec, do you have some random ppa enabled? | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | hex20dec: no idea. you are in the vast minority | 14:02 |
| fairuz_ | vivid: Yea I know it's not released yet. Just curious how they did it. | 14:02 |
| DarsVaeda | how do you uninstall that youtube firefox integration? what is it called can't find it in the software center | 14:02 |
| fairuz_ | Is it basically Ubuntu chrooted in existing Android? | 14:03 |
| hex20dec | vivid: If I knew what ppa was I might answer your question. | 14:03 |
| vivid | fairuz_, im pretty sure its just standard ubuntu installed on the root of the device. work needs to be done to improve usability | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | kernel updates can have regressions. but those are normally fixed quickly. and you can alwyas select an older kenrnel to get back to the older kernel and drivers | 14:03 |
| fairuz_ | vivid: I don't think it's standard Ubuntu | 14:03 |
| fairuz_ | since Android is running concurrently with Ubuntu | 14:03 |
| vivid | oh, i havent seen any that run them both. just one or the other | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | DarsVaeda: what Firefox Youtube integeration? | 14:04 |
| SolarisBoy | well for one its most likely a kernel compiled for whatever architecture nexus7's runs | 14:04 |
| DarsVaeda | it gives you shortcuts to youtube and a launcher integration | 14:04 |
| vivid | dr_willis, in 12.10 they have web app style links to web pages | 14:04 |
| DarsVaeda | also it takes over the fullscreen mode of youtube (but not working) | 14:04 |
| hex20dec | dr_willis: Well, do you know how to fix my issue and install my missing driver? | 14:04 |
| fairuz_ | vivid: They said both are using the same kernel | 14:04 |
| fairuz_ | I'm interested to know how they do it. | 14:05 |
| DarsVaeda | oh it is called WebApps | 14:05 |
| vivid | DarsVaeda, yes, unity-webapps-youtube | 14:06 |
| hex20dec | I can't believe no one here can help me install a simple driver. ='[ | 14:06 |

| arslan | i have a ubuntu server now, and i want to transfer to desktop | 14:10 |
| varikonniemi | then install ubuntu normal? | 14:10 |
| vivid | arslan, if you want a light desktop, probably lubuntu is your best bet | 14:10 |
| vivid | otherwise you have standard ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu | 14:10 |

| === Finnish_ is now known as Finnish | ||
| arslan | ok what are best? | 14:10 |
| vivid | thats up to you, its all opinion | 14:10 |
| vivid | i like ubuntu myself | 14:10 |
| varikonniemi | if your computer can run it i recommend ubuntu | 14:11 |
| arslan | aha | 14:11 |
| varikonniemi | otherwise lubuntu | 14:11 |
| arslan | its a small right ? | 14:11 |
| varikonniemi | CD image is ~700megs | 14:11 |

| taiga | hello | 14:11 |
| taiga | can you help me with something? | 14:12 |

| LinuxFreakD | I am transfering 950 GB from one SATAII HDD to another, both plugged into motherboard. Source drive is ext4 and destination drive is ntfs. It said 23 hours to transfer. Isn't that rather slow, as in I should be looking into fixing it? | 14:12 |
| taiga | varikonniemi, then what should i do? | 14:12 |
| arslan | arh ok varikonniemi thanks for help | 14:12 |
| arslan | i will try lubuntu | 14:12 |
| varikonniemi | taiga, just ask :D | 14:12 |
| taiga | right. well my livecd doesn't boot | 14:13 |
| vivid | taiga, just ask the question you have, if someone has an answer theyll respond | 14:13 |
| arslan | what about hacking varikonniemi its a secure? | 14:13 |
| taiga | it says i need "pae" | 14:13 |
| bekks | LinuxFreakD: Thats fairly good, since NTFS is provided by FUSE, and is pretty slow by design. | 14:13 |
| arslan | its will run with server. | 14:13 |
| unrar | then instalp a pae kernel | 14:13 |
| unrar | !pae | 14:13 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 14:13 |
| varikonniemi | arslan, all linux is very secure | 14:13 |
| arslan | hehe ok | 14:13 |
| unrar | !pae > taiga | 14:13 |
| ubottu | taiga, please see my private message | 14:13 |
| taiga | i have like under 1GB ram anyway | 14:13 |
| LinuxFreakD | bekks: ah ok. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sitting here unnecessarily long. | 14:13 |
| taiga | it just doesn't boot | 14:14 |
| unrar | And what's the error? When do you see it? | 14:14 |
| varikonniemi | taiga if you do not hav pae support your setup is so old i think you should forget ubuntu | 14:14 |
| taiga | it was actually lubuntu but their channel is dead and the name sounds similar | 14:15 |
| varikonniemi | 12.04 might still work but not 12.10 | 14:15 |
| varikonniemi | taiga, you could try linux mint | 14:15 |
| varikonniemi | they ship non-pae kernels | 14:15 |
| taiga | well i don't think using an obsolete version is a good idea | 14:15 |
| varikonniemi | 12.04 is not obsolete | 14:15 |
| taiga | linux mint hmm | 14:15 |
| unrar | Linux Mint = Ubuntu without Unity | 14:16 |
| taiga | do they have "lubuntu" too | 14:16 |
| unrar | It's better IMHO | 14:16 |
| varikonniemi | no their default desktop is lightweight gnome | 14:16 |
| OerHeks | hex20dec, i have bean searching for your Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 , but no solution on 12.04/12.10 | 14:16 |
| unrar | They have a KDE and a XFCE edition | 14:16 |
| unrar | But not LXDE | 14:16 |
| taiga | i need the lubuntu kind of ubuntu | 14:16 |
| taiga | umm | 14:16 |
| varikonniemi | thats linux mint with mate | 14:16 |
| taiga | you know what i mean, right | 14:16 |
| unrar | you can install the xfce version and then install lxde | 14:16 |
| varikonniemi | mate = gnome2.x | 14:16 |
| unrar | yep | 14:16 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: Thanks man! =] I appreciate it even though you didn't find anything. | 14:17 |
| unrar | and Cinnamon is a shell for gnome 3 | 14:17 |
| raavi_ | Hi all | 14:17 |
| taiga | it's a pentium m, xfce is kinda... slow there | 14:17 |
| ix_ | I get a blinking cursor after grub sometimes and it freezes, if I force a reboot, it works fine, how can I find out what is wrong? | 14:17 |
| varikonniemi | taiga, well | 14:17 |
| taiga | i've tried xubuntu a few years ago | 14:17 |
| LinuxFreakD | bekks, what if I changed the partition to fat32 about how long would you say it would take to transfer 950 gigs to it/ | 14:17 |
| varikonniemi | taiga, have you had linux running before? | 14:17 |

| varikonniemi | i installed lubuntu on my 1.3 ghz celeron with 512 ram, and anything slower will be a pian if you manage to get it to work | 14:18 |
| varikonniemi | 1.13ghz | 14:18 |
| taiga | yeah but i switched back to windows due to slowness | 14:18 |
| varikonniemi | xp? | 14:18 |
| taiga | yes | 14:18 |
| pippo | ciao | 14:18 |
| varikonniemi | yes.. thats like 10 years old | 14:18 |
| pippo | !list | 14:18 |
| ubottu | pippo: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 14:18 |
| varikonniemi | lubuntu is like some months | 14:18 |
| ix_ | taiga, you switched to windows because Linux is slow? :)) | 14:18 |
| varikonniemi | xp has less overhead on many tasks than linux | 14:19 |
| taiga | well i don't want to use xp cause i have "badram" and i can't but it into kernel options for windows, that's what i heard anyway | 14:19 |
| varikonniemi | that os is obsolete ;) | 14:19 |
| vivid | i still use it ... :o | 14:19 |
| TomyLobo | the things you can strip from xp are tiny compared to linux | 14:20 |
| varikonniemi | so you tried 12.10 and it said it need pae? then i can only say linux mint because they ship non-pae in at least linux mint debian edition | 14:20 |
| taiga | i actually use server 2003 that i got from a friend | 14:20 |
| varikonniemi | but also they are removing it soon | 14:20 |
| varikonniemi | so it just says your computer is too old for mainstream distributions | 14:20 |
| TomyLobo | if linux is too slow for you, remove a few services and switch to XFCE or something | 14:21 |
| taiga | why do i need pae if i have only 700M ram? | 14:21 |
| ix_ | not xfce, switch to openbox | 14:21 |
| varikonniemi | because the pae kernel is the default kernel | 14:21 |
| varikonniemi | and they don't care to maintain the obsolete i386 kernel | 14:21 |
| taiga | umm.. livecd doesn't boot | 14:21 |
| ix_ | I can show you an openbox desktop that uses 23 MB of RAM | 14:22 |
| vivid | taiga, did you try the alternate cd? | 14:22 |
| taiga | no, i wanted to try it first | 14:22 |
| OerHeks | varikonniemi, there is a non-pea build iso > http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/12.04-nonpae/ | 14:23 |
| varikonniemi | nice, is there also for 12.10 ? | 14:24 |
| OerHeks | nope :9 | 14:24 |
| varikonniemi | :{ | 14:24 |
| hex20dec | OerHeks: Thanks again, and if you're still looking for it I think you should stop. I'm going to sleep.. GN | 14:24 |
| ix_ | varikonniemi, check out Debian | 14:24 |
| varikonniemi | me? why | 14:24 |
| ix_ | varikonniemi, didn't you want a non-pae kernel? | 14:24 |
| varikonniemi | no i helped him who wanted | 14:25 |
| ix_ | oh | 14:25 |
| varikonniemi | <varikonniemi> so you tried 12.10 and it said it need pae? then i can only say linux mint because they ship non-pae in at least linux mint debian edition | 14:25 |
| gnubie | taiga> non pae capable cpus wont work/boot with 12.10 and 12.04(supported ti 1217) have to be installed with net install | 14:25 |

| JeffBauer | vivid, the don't enable 3D, i've already tried that | 14:32 |

| vivid | JeffBauer, if youre on a laptop, its possible theres another gpu in the way, im not sure how to resolve that for an amd card | 14:36 |

| triple5-daniel | hey I have some trouble, when on the command line (tty) I get continous output of errors | 14:44 |
| CorvusCorax | triple5-daniel, which tty and what errord, can you post a pastebin? | 14:45 |
| triple5-daniel | I want to catch those somewhere else to record for example 1>errors.txt | 14:45 |
| CorvusCorax | usually errors go to stderr so it'd be 2>errors.txt | 14:45 |
| CorvusCorax | but if its a program thats already running it migh be more tricky | 14:46 |
| triple5-daniel | CourvusCorax: any tty as soon as I log in , basically exryptfs_writer:Error encrypting page; rc= [-30] | 14:46 |
| frederick | i have a UGEE RAINBOW TABLET,but i can not let it work in my ubuntu studio | 14:46 |
| frederick | anybody can help??thank you very much | 14:46 |
| triple5-daniel | I just want to catch those errors to paste them in pastebin, but don't know how. | 14:47 |
| CorvusCorax | triple5-daniel that might be tricky, since its something that gets started from your profile. you might want to check your .bashrc .profile or /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc to see what else gets started and redirect it there | 14:47 |
| triple5-daniel | I tried vi but everything gets flooded by those errors | 14:48 |
| CorvusCorax | it could also be kernel error messages, that would be an indicator that syslog inst running | 14:48 |
| triple5-daniel | can I turn it of from very low level? | 14:48 |
| CorvusCorax | kernel errors go to the tty if no syslog is running | 14:48 |
| CorvusCorax | well you can turn off the tty but that doesn't help much | 14:49 |
| CorvusCorax | does it also happen when you login as root ? | 14:49 |
| triple5-daniel | I need some terminal to analyse etc. yes, also as root | 14:49 |

| Annoyed | Greetings... Anyone familiar with 12.10 bug # 1068341 Nvida drivers and the kernel headers not being sucked in as a dependancy? | 14:50 |
| CorvusCorax | hmm if its OK as unprivileged, you could login unprivileged then and do su or sudo /bin/bash | 14:50 |
| triple5-daniel | frederick: don't post private messages, just post in the channel, best if you read the guidelines how to ask good questions... | 14:50 |
| CorvusCorax | but honestly, rediecting the stdout or stderr of a program that is already running is very tricky | 14:50 |
| CorvusCorax | it has to b done when that program is started | 14:51 |
| CorvusCorax | you could try to find out which program generates the errors and just kill it | 14:51 |
| triple5-daniel | i see failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED | 14:52 |
| CorvusCorax | triple5-daniel, looks a lot like kernel errors to me. can you manually start syslog? | 14:53 |
| CorvusCorax | like /usr/sbin/rsyslogd | 14:53 |
| CorvusCorax | it should hopefully interept kernel errors and put thm into /var/log/syslog instead | 14:54 |

| djtf | kishimi8I: from a terminal, run apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | MoL0ToV: from what ive seen. either a webcam works.. or is totally unsupported with no drivers. its possible theres some experimental drivers for it. or somthing comming up in newer kernels. | 15:29 |
| kishimi8I | ok thanks will try that now | 15:30 |
| MoL0ToV | dr_willis, my webcam is listed on http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ is a acer crystal eye webcam | 15:31 |

| Ayder | Guess there is a bug in xwindows on 12.10 when using dual monitors. Mouse pointer shape gets distorted when it comes just between the two screens. | 15:36 |

| gp5st | hello. i'm sure this is a stupid question. Let's say: I have a computer in a hostile/untrusted environment. How can i make sure the file system isn't modified or replaced by a 3rd party? | 15:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | gp5st, disable every other boot option in the bios, lock the computer from being opened, encrypt the hard drive, and lock the actual system itself inside a secure area so nobody can access it :p | 15:39 |
| === Guest8377 is now known as taiga | ||
| TheLordOfTime | gp5st, unless someone physically gets access to your computer though its unlikely the filesystem'll be replaced. | 15:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | as for being "modified" preventing people from booting other media, and preventing people from logging into it is a start. | 15:40 |
| kishimi8I | quite funny @TheLord | 15:40 |
| * TheLordOfTime points to the numerous additional physical-security options such as smart-card required authentication for booting, among other thigns. | 15:40 | |
| gp5st | TheLordOfTime: physical access is my concern (think mall kiosk). I guess it could be kept in a secure box with just some wires coming out of it | 15:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | gp5st, that'd be a start :P | 15:41 |
| gp5st | TheLordOfTime: are there commercial boxes/safes available like that? | 15:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | no clue, since my systems all require either a USB key that I keep on my person or a smart card (also on my person) for booting. i'm overly secure like that. | 15:42 |
| DTH0 | hello, how do I have a program launch with a particular DE that I select from light-dm ? | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | DTH0: Clarify what you mean DTH0 | 15:44 |
| gp5st | like i said this hypothetical computer would be a mall kiosk and i'm debating having it accept credit card details. the more i think about it the more i think the end user should just place their order there and confirm it and enter in credit card details at home | 15:45 |
| DTH0 | I want Docky to launch with my MATE session and not also when I open Unity or GS | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | DTH0 that's not how it works | 15:45 |
| gp5st | pci is <word(s) that cannot be said in a family friendly channel> | 15:45 |
| dr_willis | DTH0: I belive theres some way to set up ~/.config/autostart/ entries for specific desktops via editing the .desktop file for the entry | 15:45 |
| dr_willis | DTH0: the /etc/xdg/autostart/ files may show some examples of doing this. ivbe noticed it for kde and gnome | 15:46 |
| fourq|cloud | This is the second time my 12.10 installation has lost the ability to connect to the internet. I can connect to routers fine, but no internet access. I read about others having this issue with ubuntu but I have yet to find a solution. Any suggestions?? | 15:46 |
| dr_willis | DTH0: or you may be able to create your own mate+docky session for the login maanger | 15:47 |
| DTH0 | dr_willis, thanks I'll try digging that though it looks a bit complicated | 15:48 |

It doesn't boot, fails with "Filesystem check or mount" error, fails to drop to a maintenance shell with a segmentation fault. HDD is ok, I think it's from a power failure.

| kwtm7 | My 10.04 LTS won't boot: it said something about not having a boot loader or something; apparently, Grub was corrupted. I rebooted a month ago with a Grub boot CD but haven't dared reboot since. How do I reinstall Grub so it boots (without CD)? Is it something like "apt-get reinstall grub" or something? | 16:16 |
| ert3go | dr_willis, /home/username/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks: No such file or directory | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | ert3go: that is odd.. perhaps its in the gtk3 dir | 16:17 |
| === fraggle__ is now known as fraggle_droid | ||
| dr_willis | or perhaps the directory is somehow owned by root so you cant write to it | 16:17 |
| ert3go | dr_willis, is it same as .gtk-bookmarks ? | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | ert3go: look in the file and see whats in it. | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | see who owns the files.. they should all be owned by your user and not root | 16:20 |
| ert3go | dr_willis, yeah , it has 1 bookmark which I could do | 16:20 |
| ert3go | ls -l .gtk-bookmarks | 16:21 |
| ert3go | -rw-rw-r-- 1 username username 337 Nov 18 21:24 .gtk-bookmarks | 16:21 |
| dr_willis | ert3go: you made a user with the name of 'username' ? | 16:21 |
| ert3go | I didn't create any user specifically. username = name of my home directory | 16:21 |
| dr_willis | ;) just checking as long as they match your actual user | 16:22 |
| ert3go | huh ? | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | if your users name is bob, they should be owned by 'bob bob' like mine said 'willis willis' | 16:22 |
| ert3go | err so , i don't see that file being owned by root...yeah it says 'ert3go ert3go' | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | im out if ideas then. settings gettong owned by root can cause issues that are a little hard to track down. | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | make a new user test to see if it works for them. if SO then that would point to its some setting file on the problem user | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | if it fails with the newly made user also. that would point to a deeper system issue | 16:25 |

| sheerun | Hey! I want to install experimental version of znc from here: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/i386/znc/download but I also don't want to add deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main to my sources.list because after apt-get upgrade I would install lot of experimental packages. Is there a way to restrict entry in sources.list only to that particular package? (znc). I don't want to download deb files manually. | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | sheerun: you could just build it from source | 16:29 |
| sheerun | dr_willis: No no no. I want to manage it by apt-get | 16:29 |
| shantorn | sheerun, you can ad the repo install the single file dont do an upgrade and then remove it and do a sudo apt-get update to clear it out | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | ive done that in the past and kept it all in my users home. | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | sheerun: then you dont want to be adding any debian repositories at all if you want to keep apt happy | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | or just download the .deb files | 16:29 |
| sheerun | shantorn: Yes, but later I cannot update that package without uncommenting.. | 16:29 |
| sheerun | Little tedious imho | 16:30 |
| shantorn | tedious yes, aslo doable | 16:30 |
| sheerun | dr_willis: I though apt-get install deb packages (it used dpkg underneath) | 16:30 |
| shantorn | also* | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | safest would be to get the .deb and install the .deb but then you dont get auto updates/upgrades.. BEST would be find a ubuntu ppa | 16:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | dr_willis, i'm working on PPA-ing it | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | assuming all the dependencies are met. | 16:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | since TrekWeb runs Ubuntu servers, we're due to upgrade to 1.0, so i have to do the backporting/ppaing | 16:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | but i have to fix Ubuntu first :/ | 16:32 |
| sheerun | TheLordOfTime: Do you mean znc? | 16:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 16:32 |
| sheerun | Great! | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | Ive conpiled znc and weechat in the past - the fact theya re in the repos now makes getting all the needed dev packages much easier | 16:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 16:32 |
| TheLordOfTime | but 1.0's not even out of experimental yet :P | 16:32 |
| sheerun | Anyway, I'm sad there isn't an universal way to do that | 16:32 |
| sheerun | I don't want to install deb files manually, because last time I did that I needed to backup everything ;) | 16:33 |
| dr_willis | sheerun: that makes no sence. | 16:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, i don't have an ETA on it though, since my Ubuntu system can't boot, and is returning Input/Output errors. | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | IO errors. ;( | 16:34 |
| sheerun | I had this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies | 16:34 |
| ert3go | thanks dr_wi | 16:34 |
| ert3go | thanks dr_willis * | 16:34 |
| sheerun | But apt-get -f install wanted to remove all packaged from the system | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | sudo gdebi foo.deb works for me most of the time sheerun | 16:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, that's because you only downloaded the one .deb, not the other .debs built by the ZNC source. | 16:34 |
| sheerun | TheLordOfTime: Is there CLI version of it? | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | assuming the needed deps are in the repos | 16:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, ZNC is CLI... | 16:35 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, you could download and compile the tarball (source code) manually though | 16:35 |
| sheerun | sry | 16:35 |
| sheerun | dr_willis: Is there CLI version of it? | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | I see 7 ZNC packages in the repos. | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | sheerun: cli version of what? | 16:35 |
| sheerun | gdebi | 16:35 |
| oldman | I can not get my wireless nic to work on 12.10. Lspci sees it as BCM4312. The card is labelled BCM94312. | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | gdebi is a cli tool... | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | so yes. ;) | 16:35 |
| sheerun | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDebi | 16:35 |
| sheerun | I saw picture on wiki | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | it has a gui front end also... | 16:36 |
| sheerun | ok, I'll look into that, thanks :) | 16:36 |
| blackness | i can use python2 and python3 at the sametime cant i? | 16:37 |
| sheerun | TheLordOfTime: I mean, how hard is making ppa? | 16:37 |
| sheerun | is there an automatic way to do that? | 16:37 |
| blackness | i know i need to set the env python3 to force python3. | 16:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, making PPAs is idifficult when moving from debian, i have to change the package a tad, so its not easy | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | i dont think you just force all python2 apps to use python3 | 16:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, but i've done it before, its not hard for *me* though | 16:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | sheerun, i never updated this since 0.202, but keep an eye on this: https://launchpad.net/~trekcaptainusa-tw/+archive/znc | 16:38 |

| rgngl | Hi folks, does anybody have a clue about my NFS problem, I described here: http://superuser.com/questions/507274/nfs-share-access-permission-denied/507291#507291 | 17:47 |
| laurant | Hey everyone. i've got a problem with my Ubuntu 12.10. I can't login to my Administrator account. when i login it instantly logout. anyone a solution? | 17:48 |
| escott | laurant, what do you mean by "administrator account" | 17:49 |
| === ericab_away is now known as ericab | ||
| laurant | superuser account | 17:49 |
| escott | laurant, do you mean "root" | 17:49 |
| laurant | nopr | 17:49 |
| laurant | *nope | 17:49 |
| laurant | the only account i can go on is the Guest account | 17:50 |
| laurant | but i can't burn a Install disk from it | 17:50 |
| escott | laurant, did you ever "sudo some-gui-application" | 17:50 |
| laurant | i don't think so. | 17:51 |
| laurant | but i cant use 'sudo' from a guest account | 17:51 |
| escott | laurant, well check that root doesn't own ~/.Xauthority for the affected account | 17:51 |
| escott | laurant, ctrl-alt-f1 to login from console | 17:51 |
| laurant | Can i use that from 'guest' ? | 17:52 |
| escott | laurant, you won't be able to diagnose or fix anything from guest | 17:52 |
| ofcan | hi guys! how to give specific user rights to be able to create directories in /var/www ? | 17:53 |
| escott | ofcan, usermod -a -G www username | 17:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | isnt it www-data? | 17:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | depending on what user is the owner of /var/www | 17:53 |
| ofcan | TheLordOfTime: root is | 17:53 |
| escott | ofcan, generally you want files in /var/www owned by some proxy for the webserver... www or www-data or the like | 17:54 |
| laurant | i did use "sudo chown <user> /var/www" | 17:54 |
| laurant | for that | 17:54 |
| escott | ofcan, at least with respect to the group. the file ownercould be root | 17:54 |
| === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf | ||
| laurant | it makes you the owner of it | 17:55 |
| laurant | I do not recommend to use it on anything else!!! | 17:55 |
| escott | laurant, he doesn't need/want anyone to be owner of it. its the group that is important | 17:55 |
| delac | anyone know if it is possible to open dconf-editor as gdm? | 17:55 |
| escott | delac, gksudo -u gdm dconf-editor | 17:56 |
| ofcan | escott: so I just write > usermod -a -G /var/www deployer | 17:56 |
| ofcan | escott: ? | 17:56 |
| trism | delac: use gsettings overrides if you want to change settings for gdm | 17:56 |
| escott | !permissions | ofcan i suggest you read this to understand how permissions work | 17:56 |
| ubottu | ofcan i suggest you read this to understand how permissions work: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 17:56 |
| Domain | Greetings all. | 17:57 |
| escott | ofcan, you want to add deployer to the group that owns /var/www | 17:57 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| escott | ofcan, but that group should NOT be root. it should be www or www-data | 17:57 |
| escott | laurant, what is ls -l /home/laurant/.Xauthority? | 17:57 |
| === noah is now known as n0ah[] | ||
| laurant | ? | 17:58 |
| Domain | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. How can I lock my display settings? If often reverts to a lesser resolution. | 17:58 |
| delac | escott: does not work. "cannot open display: :0" | 17:58 |
| n0ah[] | My Ubuntu (12.04) no longer has a GUI. This happened after installing updates. | 17:58 |
| delac | trism: you dont think using dconf is good idea? | 17:58 |
| n0ah[] | I have Unity. | 17:58 |
| ofcan | escott: oh, ok! so with thhat command you said, I am adding my user to the www group? | 17:59 |
| Domain | *takes a number and waits in line* :) | 17:59 |
| trism | delac: not when the settings can be overwritten when gdm is updated | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: was this caused by upgrades to the same release, or did you upgrade from Lucid or Oneiric? | 17:59 |
| escott | laurant, im getting back to your question. you need to ctrl-alt-f1 then login as your normal user, and then find the XAuthority file (if you use lightdm it is ~/.Xauthority or the like, gdm puts it in /run/username/auth-*/database | 17:59 |
| n0ah[] | Same release. | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: do you use proprietary video drivers? | 17:59 |
| laurant | the problem is i can login | 17:59 |
| ofcan | escott: and since I am deploying on VPS and everything is preety much on defaults, www should be configured properly? | 17:59 |
| laurant | *can't | 17:59 |
| n0ah[] | I'm not sure what you mean. | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: what video chip do you use? | 18:00 |
| escott | ofcan, you can xauth +localhost then run the gksudo command and xauth -localhost... maybe... not sure if that last xauth will break X. | 18:00 |
| n0ah[] | Nvidia Gforce | 18:00 |
| Pr0B0t | can some1 help me to run Ubuntu ? | 18:00 |
| trism | delac: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/gsettings-override-2011-07-04-15-45 and check out the schema at /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.xml | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: and did you install the extra drivers? | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Pr0B0t: with details, preferably on one line. Maybe | 18:00 |
| escott | laurant, you cannot login from console? | 18:00 |
| delac | trism: they do? shouldn't dconf settings stick even on updates? | 18:00 |
| n0ah[] | I'm not sure, the only thing I saw in the update were updates for Transmission, and come C++ libraries. | 18:00 |
| n0ah[] | some* | 18:00 |
| trism | delac: the dconf database is in the gdm package | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: do you get the login screen when you boot? | 18:01 |
| n0ah[] | I know I have a beta driver installed for my video card though, but didn't have problems before. | 18:01 |
| n0ah[] | Yes. | 18:01 |
| n0ah[] | I'm on Irssi right now as we speak. | 18:01 |
| trism | delac: dpkg -L gdm | grep /var/lib/gdm/ | 18:01 |
| trism | delac: sorry I take that back | 18:01 |
| Pr0B0t | <ActionParsnip> when i rub it it start loading desktop and then pic freez and run some GPU loading and failed load channel 2 failed to load channel 3.... | 18:01 |
| Pr0B0t | run* | 18:01 |
| trism | delac: but anyway, you can lose the settings, better to use overrides | 18:02 |
| Pr0B0t | and restart i forgot that | 18:02 |
| n0ah[] | Trying to run Unity from the line causes an error saying it can't display on :0. | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: when the screen loads. Press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common | awk {'print $2'}` | 18:02 |
| delac | trism: well, gues I do that then. thanks! | 18:02 |
| n0ah[] | Okay, I'll be right back. Let me run those. | 18:02 |
| blackness | what is the best way to get what driver your wifi pci card is using? | 18:03 |
| escott | ofcan, yes and presumably, but i dont know what the actual owner of /var/www is. you need to find that out with ls -l | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: there is no single best way | 18:03 |
| blackness | ok, how would i find it? | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: sudo lshw -C network is one way | 18:03 |
| blackness | ok | 18:04 |
| bekks | blackness: lspci -k | 18:04 |
| blackness | i dont know why i didnt think of lshw -C network | 18:04 |
| blackness | atk5k :P | 18:04 |
| blackness | ath5k * | 18:05 |
| ofcan | escott: I got this upon running that command you suggested > usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. < what does this mean? | 18:05 |
| ofcan | escott: root is the owner, btw | 18:05 |
| LyzardKing | Any news on the support for wayland? | 18:05 |
| escott | ofcan, the group is the important bit. i keep saying owner when i really mean group | 18:06 |
| BlackNarcissus | Hey everyone. When installing 12.04, the installer is either stuck on or take a very long time to create an ext3 filesystem for /home. Messages in "Details" give "Asking for cache date: failed", "Assuming drive cache: write through" | 18:06 |
| ofcan | escott: root is the name of the group :) | 18:06 |
| blackness | how would i set my wifi password if it contains special chars? example: passwORD!@#$%^&*() ? | 18:07 |
| escott | ofcan, and you should not put deployer in group root. so you chould change that with chgrp | 18:07 |
| blackness | wpa_passphrase="PASSWORD!@#$%^&*()" or do i have to escape them? | 18:07 |
| miniCruzer | I get this message every time I boot the computer, maybe 3 or 4 times: http://screencloud.net/v/vn9o | 18:08 |
| n0ah[] | Hi, I ran those commands. It prompted me to uninstall the current video drivers I had, I assume, and I did. | 18:08 |
| escott | blackness, use ' not " to avoid having to escape all that junk | 18:08 |
| ofcan | escott: deployer is in sudo group. that is ok? | 18:08 |
| n0ah[] | Should I try restarting and see if the GUI now works? | 18:09 |
| escott | ofcan, being in sudo group is different from being in root group | 18:09 |
| blackness | so: wpa_passphrase='password!@#$%^&*()' ? | 18:09 |
| n0ah[] | ActionParsnip: You therE? | 18:10 |
| n0ah[] | there* | 18:10 |
| escott | blackness, give it a try. if that is interpreted by BASH it will come through cleanly | 18:10 |
| ofcan | escott: ok, so now how to make that deployer be able to mkdir in /var/www ? I ran the command you suggested, but I got that 'try again later error'... | 18:10 |
| escott | ofcan, have you read the !permissions page. you are setting up a server so it is very important that you understand the permission model | 18:11 |
| BlackNarcissus | Hey everyone. When installing 12.04, the installer is either stuck on or take a very long time to create an ext3 filesystem for /home. Messages in "Details" give "Asking for cache date: failed", "Assuming drive cache: write through". Disk utility says the HDD is ok. I'm puzzled. | 18:12 |

| n0ah[] | Can anyone help me? My GUI for my Ubuntu 12.04 has gone after installing updates. I was just advised to remove my video card drivers, so I did, and was wondering what I should do next. | 18:13 |
| BlackNarcissus | n0ah[]: What's your graphic card ? Does the system boot, at least on a command line ? | 18:14 |
| n0ah[] | Yes, it boots on a command line. Logging in normally will allow me to run commands. It uses a Nvidia graphics card. | 18:14 |
| escott | ofcan, if you understand the permission model then looking at ls -l /etc/passwd should make clear why your usermod command is not working | 18:15 |
| n0ah[] | I had beta testing drivers installed before, without problem. I assume I have no drivers as of now. | 18:15 |
| Domain | Hello | 18:15 |
| n0ah[] | BlackNarcissus: Did you get my response? | 18:16 |
| sas641 | http://www.dropbox.com/sh/ysntqjuqjzh0jap/goDDKPk6gG#/ | 18:16 |
| BlackNarcissus | n0ah[]: I don't know what your problem was but you can try to reinstall your drivers if you're comfortable with the command line. Drivers for Nvidia are nvidia-current. | 18:16 |
| sas641 | what is the name of this dress? | 18:17 |
| n0ah[] | Thanks, let me try that and see if Unity works then. | 18:17 |
| n0ah[] | I'll be right back. | 18:17 |
| Domain | Hi | 18:17 |
| n0ah[] | That'll be "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" correct? | 18:17 |
| BlackNarcissus | n0ah[]: Yes, but did you enable a PPA to have the beta drivers ? | 18:17 |

| n0ah[] | No, they were just in the additional driver update popup that came up. | 18:18 |
| ofcan | escott: ok, reading what you suggested as we speak. thank you. sorry for being lazy btw | 18:18 |
| Jezmajian | Hello | 18:18 |
| BlackNarcissus | n0ah[]: Oh, ok. Then you can try running that command and restarting. | 18:18 |
| n0ah[] | Alright, thanks. Be right back. | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | n0ah[]: did you remove the nvidia driver using CLI? | 18:18 |
| escott | ofcan, its ok, but at some point you have to read the stuff, and setting up a server is one of those points | 18:19 |
| BlackNarcissus | ActionParsnip: He said he did, but didn't know what to do next. | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackNarcissus: thanks | 18:20 |
| Domain | Hi | 18:20 |
| BlackNarcissus | ActionParsnip: You're welcome. I didn't know what his problem was before, but I told him to try to install current drivers. | 18:21 |

| dougl | no option I could install? | 18:33 |

| cwbarnes | Hi all, please help! I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 xfce, changed some toolbar settings now I boot into a blank desktop in which the compiz cube is functioning but there is no taskbar, I can't right click, alt+f1 doesn't bring me to a terminal, i can only rotate the cube!! please help a noob fix his install | 18:54 |

| pikaciu | alt+f2 | 18:55 |
| John76 | because i thought it would be a simple fix | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | John76: in future, please give FULL details. It makes things so much faster as we don't have to ask for basic details | 18:55 |
| John76 | will do | 18:55 |

| ofcan | escott: ok, read it and changed the group wich owns /var/www to www-data group. now need to add the user deployer to that group, right? how to do that? the command you suggested (with usermod) doesn't work... | 18:56 |
| cwbarnes | @Actionparsnip m8 I am in a bind, I dont have any functionality on the desktop i can only spin the cube, termincal wont work, i can do alt+F1 etc and only see a blinking cursor, i cant right click on the desktop | 18:57 |
| pikaciu | cwbarnes: the command alt+f2 doesn't work ? | 18:58 |
| escott | ofcan, usermod needs to modify files in /etc (in particular passwd and groups) both owned by root. so you need sudo usermod -a -G www-data deployer | 18:58 |
| escott | ofcan, if just anyone could add themselves to a group that would kinda defeat it as a security feature | 18:58 |
| cwbarnes | @pikaciu it doesn't do anything, i can only spin the desktop cube, and its at a lower resolution | 18:58 |
| cwbarnes | @pkachiu this is true for both desktop environments i can log into, both xfce and ubuntustudio | 18:59 |
| nr_double | hallos. I'm having an odd issue with DNS I believe. I have intermittent network connectivity issues over both wired and wireless that none of my windows machines are experiencing.

| ActionParsnip | John76: http://mathema.tician.de/hardware/r52 may help | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | John76: if the display isn't reporting correctly then you may need an xorg.conf file to make it ok (assuming the screen and ATI chip can show HD). | 19:01 |
| ofcan | escott: I need write permissions to be able to create new files and folders inside a folder, right? | 19:01 |

| xbskid- | So I'm trying to install 12.10 off a USB drive on my desktop. I've got two disks in RAID0, configured using the motherboard utility. During setup, I selected the correct /dev/mapper device I wanted grub installed to, but thrice now I've ended up with 'Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.' / 'This is a fatal error.' | 19:24 |
| xbskid- | That's not the device I told the installer to put grub on! | 19:25 |
| escott | xbskid-, you can't put grub on /deb/mapper | 19:25 |
| xbskid- | escott: Then it shouldn't let me select the damn thing. :P | 19:25 |
| escott | bdi_, and /media/9D.... doesn't work | 19:27 |
| bdi_ | escott: yeah | 19:28 |
| xbskid- | escott: I have the W7 boot loader configured to boot to the /dev/mapper device, but it dumps me at a grub> prompt, and since I don't quite know how Ubuntu's grub config is set up, the best I can do is end up at an (initramfs) prompt. | 19:28 |
| escott | xbskid-, in RAID0 you will need a /boot outside the array | 19:28 |

| chaospsychex | can someone help me to change the channel on my wireless device eth1 ? | 19:30 |
| chaospsychex | i tried 'sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 14' to no avail | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: it detects the channel used by the router | 19:31 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: how can i connect to the router on a different channel | 19:31 |
| escott | bdi_, hmmm | 19:31 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: i would have to change the channel on the router ? | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: its detected when you scan for networks | 19:31 |
| gordonjcp | chaospsychex: yup | 19:31 |
| MoL0ToV | chaospsychex, you must change the wifi router config | 19:31 |
| xbskid- | Grub can boot the kernel, so obviously -something- works. | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: yes, change the router, reboot it and then scan for networks, the channel will be detected | 19:32 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: would interference cause wifi signal strength fluctuations and loss of connectivity when putting eth1 under load ? | 19:32 |
| MoL0ToV | is possible | 19:32 |
| chaospsychex | i've tried different wireless adapters and even different ap's and still experience this problem | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: the router doesn't switch channels because a client starts using a different channel, it doesn't work like that | 19:32 |
| chaospsychex | oddly enough, i experience this problem only when using *nix | 19:32 |
| bdi_ | escott: but why is it read only? | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: are there a lot of networks in the same channel | 19:33 |
| escott | bdi_, can you "ls -l /media/9D[TAB] | 19:33 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: no | 19:33 |
| escott | bdi_, rather can you "ls -al /media/9D[TAB] | 19:33 |
| bdi_ | escott: sure | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: then find out your wifi chip and check for known issues. In some cases it helps to disable n speed | 19:34 |

| MoL0ToV | chaospsychex, remember that wifi channel are 14, but if you for example use channel 7 and interferences are on channel 8, also channel 7 is affected | 19:34 |

| oversize | hi, is there a channel where i could get help using testdisk to recover my data from a usb harddisk? i can see the data, but i can not copy them (no space) cant i just "apply" the found partitions? It does not work for me and i dont know why ... | 19:35 |
| escott | nikolam, you probably weren't going to get much butter fs support anyways | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com | 19:35 |
| bdi_ | escott: ? | 19:35 |
| nikolam | escott, that is because I need to convert RAID0 (made after adding device) to RAID1 Btrfs. | 19:35 |
| escott | bdi_, ?? | 19:35 |
| escott | nikolam, requires kernel support not tools | 19:36 |
| escott | nikolam, i believe | 19:36 |
| nikolam | aha, to even if I upgrade from PPA, it will not convert Btrfs to RAID1... | 19:36 |
| nikolam | I need upgrade to 12.10... | 19:36 |
| MoL0ToV | oversize, what means that you cannot copy them? | 19:36 |
| nikolam | and to follow regular release wagon. | 19:37 |
| oversize | MoL0ToV it seems incredibly slow and its about 200G | 19:37 |
| bdi_ | escott: why is it ro? | 19:37 |
| escott | nikolam, i believe so, check in #btrfs | 19:37 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1368465/ | 19:37 |
| MoL0ToV | oversize, dmesg what say? there are errors releted to disk? | 19:37 |
| escott | bdi_, if i knew i would tell you. thats why i want to see the ls -al output | 19:38 |
| bdi_ | escott: ahh ok | 19:38 |
| oversize | MoL0ToV yes ... (its on other pc so cant copy) "Buffer IO error on device sdc" | 19:38 |
| escott | bdi_, a few other things to check. you might remove and insert the usb stick and then run "dmesg | tail -n 20" | 19:38 |
| oversize | MoL0ToV testdisk lists partitions and files fine though | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: seems you are using the wired, or is that because of the shaky wifi? | 19:39 |

| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: because of shaky wifi | 19:40 |
| ejo | I thought it would not be giving that message unless I had Prompt=normal. | 19:40 |
| escott | bdi_, input/output error. its a bad usb stick or it needs to be fscked | 19:40 |
| oversize | MoL0ToV ddrescue will make "the whole thing" image? i mean if there is 500G data it will be a 500G image? | 19:40 |
| bdi_ | escott: fscked? | 19:40 |
| escott | bdi_, you can "sudo umount /media/9D[TAB]; sudo fsck /dev/sdb1" | 19:41 |
| MoL0ToV | oversize, no, if your disk is 200GB the image is 200GB also if only 10MB of data is present | 19:41 |
| oversize | MoL0ToV ubuntu says i would have to go to win and run checkntfs (or so) but in windows i only get to "formath hd?" | 19:41 |

| bonhoeffer | jrib, bekks -- awesome! | 20:02 |
| ejo | trism: Ah yes, ok. Thanks. Yes, yesterday before I performed the upgrade I had changed it to Prompt=normal. Then the upgrade itself resulted in it being changed back to Prompt=lts (I guess the default). | 20:03 |
| sedataym | hi | 20:03 |
| ejo | trism: So I suppose maybe that cached notification will change on its own eventually? | 20:03 |
| ejo | trism: or could I safely just clear the contents of /var/lib/update-notifier/release-upgrade-available? | 20:04 |
| xbskid- | ...Well, uh, I'm not sure what's going on, but I chrooted into my new install from the liveusb environment and ran update-grub. Grub successfully loaded, and let me boot ubuntu, but I don't have any video signal :P | 20:04 |
| xbskid- | Damn thing probably didn't bother installing video drivers. | 20:04 |
| trism | ejo: yes, you can remove that file and run: sudo /var/lib/update-manager/release-upgrade-motd; and it will be regenerated (and should be empty) | 20:05 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: it typically won't do that automatically, depending on the video subsystem. | 20:05 |
| trism | ejo: it should fix itself on its own eventually though | 20:05 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: It's an ATI 4870 X2. | 20:05 |
| xbskid- | I just did Alt+Ctrl+F1 and I have a blinking cursor, but no prompt | 20:06 |
| xbskid- | THERE WE GO | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | xbskid-: are you running quantal? | 20:06 |
| xbskid- | ActionParsnip: Yes. | 20:06 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: well, don't get me started on the merits of Nvidia. ;-) Did you try to manually install the drivers through the system menu? | 20:06 |
| xbskid- | 'The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present.' | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | xbskid-: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal.html | 20:06 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: I haven't been able to log in yet. :P | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | xbskid-: ati 4xxx GPUs don't do well with the XOrg in Quantal, so you need the legacy driver, that PPA makes life easier | 20:07 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: Oh. Why did you setup an encrypted system? | 20:07 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: ...I only chose to encrypt my home folder! | 20:07 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: okay. Did you just go through the steps or did you follow a guide to make sure that everything happens as it should? | 20:08 |
| * ActionParsnip wishes Oracle had faster upload speeds | 20:08 | |
| xbskid- | Gnea: No, I didn't follow any guide. I took the idiot's path and just ran the installer. | 20:09 |
| escott | xbskid-, when you encrypt home it encrypts swap as well | 20:09 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: okay, and is this 12.04 or 12.10? | 20:09 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: 12.10 | 20:09 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: Do you recall if, during the installation, you made /home a separate partition to be encrypted or included in the root filesystem? | 20:12 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: Only two partitions; swap and root. >.> | 20:12 |
| xbskid- | I'll just run through the installer again and -not- encrypt my home folder. :] | 20:13 |
| xbskid- | Fourth time's the charm | 20:13 |
| Gnea | heh | 20:13 |
| bonhoeffer | i can't get access to my usb external drive: cd:cd:10: permission denied: /media/New Volume | 20:14 |
| xbskid- | Not to mention every time I boot the live environment I have to create an .Xmodmap file for my mouse. | 20:14 |
| bonhoeffer | any troubleshooting options? | 20:14 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: that could be part of the problem... if it isn't asking for the passphrase at bootup to load /home, then maybe having it on its own partition would be helpful... or not encrypting it at all would avoid the whole issue lol | 20:14 |
| alexGla | guys, i m using ubuntu 10 at this seems to be not supported anymore. Which most stable version you d recommend to upgrade to? | 20:15 |
| Gnea | !lts | alexGla | 20:15 |
| ubottu | alexGla: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | alexGla: there is no Ubuntu 10 | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | alexGla: there is 10.04 (Lucid) and 10.10 (Maverick) | 20:16 |
| === Adeeel is now known as Adeel | ||
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: 10.04 / 10.10 comprises Ubuntu 10 | 20:16 |
| alexGla | sorry i mean 10.04 Lucid | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: yes but one is supported, one is not. So it is significant | 20:16 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest12403 | ||
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: That's true, but that's more of a general perspective than anything else | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | alexGla: Lucid is still supported on the desktop til April next year. I would do a clean install of Precise and enjot support til April 2017 :) | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: yes, but you can't run 'Ubuntu 10'...Would it be a dual boot of both? | 20:17 |
| Gnea | Precise is pretty nice.... until it decides to not allow a scanner to work :P | 20:17 |
| === Guest12403 is now known as Adeeel | ||
| xbskid- | Does Rhythmbox or whatever it's called do gapless playback? | 20:17 |
| alexGla | thanks ActionParsnip | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | alexGla: do a clean install and restore userdata from backup :) | 20:18 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: That's a misunderstanding - '10' is just referring to the major version, not the minor version. It's like saying "Oh I run Linux Kernel 2.6, not 3.2" You don't really care about the minor version at that point. | 20:18 |
| alexGla | ActionParsnip, well, i don't know how to do this :\ | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: true but the version is significant, so saying Ubuntu 10 isn't detailed enough, it also names 2 releases which you cannot single boot | 20:19 |
| Gnea | alexGla: well you could take the upgrade path to 12.04 from 10.04 or you could take the suggestion to do a clean install | 20:19 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: Yes, but it does provide a starting point. :-) | 20:20 |
| alexGla | Gnea, clean means formating file systems and installing from scratch ? | 20:20 |
| Gnea | alexGla: basically. | 20:20 |
| xangua | Gnea: ooh he is using 10.04, no 10.10 so no :) two digits make a big diference | 20:20 |
| xangua | he is using 10.10, no 10.04* | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: true :D | 20:21 |
| Gnea | xangua: it doesn't make much of a difference in this case, we know he's using 10.04 ;) | 20:21 |
| John76 | Hello, why is that when I try to use my second monitor the Gnome panel disappears | 20:21 |
| pranavk | I want to turn off the netbios name service for my node in my LAN, how do i do it ? | 20:22 |
| John76 | How do I make everything stay in frontal view when switching from 4:3 to 16:9 | 20:22 |
| Gnea | pranavk: well that's controlled by Samba | 20:22 |
| Gnea | alexGla: do you have the ability to boot from usb flash? | 20:23 |
| cuddylier | How do I unblock a port on eth1:3 | 20:23 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: how did you block in the first place? | 20:23 |
| cuddylier | Gnea I can't remember :S | 20:24 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: well that is going to make finding a solution pretty difficult :P | 20:24 |
| cuddylier | Gnea How do I view all iptable entries? | 20:24 |
| cuddylier | I could check there | 20:24 |
| John76 | ActionParsnip, since you know my details can you help me | 20:24 |
| alexGla | Gnea, i have my ubuntu set up in windows. But i haven't got OS on usb flash | 20:25 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: well iptables -nvL should do that, or you could install ufw | 20:25 |
| Gnea | !ufw | cuddylier | 20:25 |
| ubottu | cuddylier: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 20:25 |
| pranavk | Gnea: would turning off my smbd would work ? | 20:25 |
| John76 | Why is it that only when I choose Mirrored display/1024x768 4:3 that I can see the gnome panels and workspace properly | 20:25 |
| Gnea | alexGla: oh, you're using wubi? | 20:25 |
| Gnea | pranavk: sure | 20:25 |
| alexGla | Gnea, i am considering to upgrade to 12.04.1 from Update Manager | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | John76: I only have an xorg.conf for single screen systems | 20:25 |
| John76 | Why is this complicated though? | 20:26 |
| cuddylier | Once I have found the entry, how do I allow it again? | 20:26 |
| Gnea | John76: I don't think gnome panel has the ability to stretch between 2 or more desktops | 20:26 |
| Gnea | John76: because of gnome. | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | John76: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dual+head+xorg.conf may help | 20:26 |
| alexGla | Gnea, i think yes. I have installed OS from windows and it basically on my windows OS. I need to use both OSs | 20:26 |
| John76 | Well I mean why when I switch to16:9 everything is out of view | 20:26 |
| John76 | Instead of just lining up | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: I believe the issue is resolution on the external screen | 20:26 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: gufw makes that easy | 20:26 |
| John76 | I don't want another X session on the monitor. I just want to use this monitor as the main and only output and at 1080p | 20:27 |
| Gnea | alexGla: okay, well you could free up space on your hdd to boot both natively, rather than relying on windows for ubuntu | 20:27 |
| John76 | It shouldn't be complicated. I've done it on my other laptop and it's 'automatic' | 20:27 |
| Gnea | John76: well it's going to do that if your monitor is a 4:3 monitor | 20:28 |
| John76 | It's not | 20:28 |
| John76 | My 'monitor' which is a TV is a 16:9 1080p HD TV | 20:28 |
| Gnea | ah | 20:28 |
| John76 | I'm saying that only 4:3 works with Gnome | 20:28 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've changed my OS to 12.04, and I copied the /home directory from the old system to the new one. But when I try to launch a virtual machine (windows 7) from virtualbox, I get an error saying: "the image file /usr/share/virtualbox/vboxguestadditions.iso is inaccessible and is being ignored." What can I do to solve this error ? | 20:28 |
| John76 | Any other resolution or aspect ratio and it just disappears | 20:29 |
| alexGla | Gnea, yes, i had split my hdd for both win and linux but it was on my last machine | 20:29 |
| Gnea | John76: what about the mouse cursor? does it show up on the second display? | 20:29 |
| John76 | Yeah | 20:29 |
| John76 | And the wallpaper | 20:29 |
| John76 | Everything but the workspace/gnome panel etc | 20:29 |
| John76 | It's there but it's ALL THE WAY at the bottom/top | 20:29 |
| Gnea | John76: Then it's working the way that the Gnome people designed it to work. | 20:29 |
| John76 | Like it's zoomed out.. | 20:29 |
| John76 | Zoomed in anyway | 20:30 |
| alexGla | Gnea, is 12.04 version quick? i don't really want all this fancy user interface updates they made in latests versions | 20:30 |
| John76 | I don't understand Gnea | 20:30 |
| Gnea | alexGla: well they changed the base GUI from Gnome to Unity. If you have a slow machine, it's not much of an upgrade as far as speed goes | 20:30 |
| dr_willis | alexGla: use lubuntu if you want minimal eyecandy | 20:30 |
| Gnea | alexGla: Bodhi Linux would probably be decent enough | 20:30 |
| Gnea | John76: Gnome was made to fit in a box, so to speak... they didn't design it to be too extensible with all of these newer devices | 20:31 |
| alexGla | cheers guys. I have enough of rams on my machine, just all this looks to me Mac like updates | 20:32 |
| cuddylier | Why does the IP in eth1:3 not work when I have these as Iptables? http://puu.sh/1rGub | 20:32 |
| Xard | sigh, this is really getting old... i've tried to follow many guides including this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen to get xen going but it just doesn't seem to get past first stages of booting | 20:32 |
| Gnea | John76: the same thing happens if I hook a CRT monitor up to a laptop - the second display will have the wallpaper and I can drag windows over to it and it works... I just don't have any menus or icons over there | 20:32 |
| ikonia | debug it then | 20:32 |
| Gnea | John76: the only way to 'stretch' everything from the original display to the new display is to use something called xinerama | 20:33 |
| ben1u | hello, how can I change the notify duration in ubuntu 12.04? | 20:33 |
| Gnea | !xinerama | John76 | 20:33 |
| ubottu | John76: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 20:33 |
| danielboston26 | ben1u: what doe you mean? | 20:34 |
| nrik | hi | 20:34 |
| nrik | is anybody here? | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nrik: nobody | 20:34 |
| nrik | thanks | 20:34 |
| danielboston26 | yes nrik | 20:34 |
| danielboston26 | what do you need help with nrik? | 20:35 |
| noah | boom | 20:35 |
| ben1u | danielboston26: ich mean NotifyOSD | 20:35 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: well t hat doesn't show anything about what's on eth1:3, other than the fact that it's allowed. does the IP on eth1:3 match up with one of the subnets that it's connected to physically? | 20:35 |
| Atlantic777 | I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but firstly I have to deal with partitions. I've got some troubles with "try me without installing". Everything seems to work until I choose that option. After that, I get just desktop and cursor. | 20:35 |
| Atlantic777 | No errors in tty, and tty is working. | 20:35 |
| nrik | coud you help me write some bash script with integration with Gnome3/Unity statuses? | 20:35 |
| Atlantic777 | What could be wrong? | 20:35 |
| cuddylier | Gnea This IP worked until 1 hour ago when it suddently stopped letting connections in.. | 20:35 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: that is suppose to happen | 20:36 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: then the problem sounds like it's on another part of the network | 20:36 |
| xbskid- | Where do I configure grub's timeout? | 20:36 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: your trying ubuntu without installing it | 20:36 |
| cuddylier | Ah...So it may be my host? | 20:36 |
| nrik | I mean, when script running show process to notification bar, like it was with zenity | 20:36 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: right. | 20:36 |
| xbskid- | I'm not used to grub.conf being split up into a pile of smaller files | 20:36 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 20:36 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: and... what are you trying to say? :) | 20:36 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: if you want to install ubuntu onto your system then you need to select the install option | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ben1u: use at your own risk: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-easy-way-to-customize-notify.html | 20:36 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: That's an auto-generated file. :P | 20:37 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: hey, I want gparted firstly! :D | 20:37 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: and? | 20:37 |
| ben1u | ActionParsnip: thx | 20:37 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: And I'd rather update the configuration used to generate that file. :P | 20:37 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: you need to install ubuntu | 20:37 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: then install gparted | 20:37 |
| xbskid- | Gnea: Found it; /etc/default/grub | 20:38 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: no, I'm pretty sure I don't _need_ to install it firstly. Gparted is included in the live session. | 20:38 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: yup | 20:38 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: I have troubless with starting ubuntu live sessions. | 20:38 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: ok so what issue are you having? | 20:38 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: live session wount start. I'm stuck with background and pointer. | 20:38 |
| juniour | fuck | 20:39 |
| Gnea | danielboston26, Atlantic777: gparted works without installing the OS first. | 20:39 |
| Atlantic777 | Gnea: yeah, I know. :) | 20:39 |
| Gnea | !language | juniour | 20:39 |
| ubottu | juniour: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 20:39 |
| xbskid- | THERE. Let's see if it doesn't break again | 20:39 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: there may be an issue with your video driver | 20:39 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: do you have a nvidia card? | 20:39 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: no, it's a radeon card. | 20:40 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: i don't think that it's a kms related problem. (nomodeset and stuff) | 20:40 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've changed my OS to 12.04, and I copied the /home directory from the old system to the new one. But when I try to launch a virtual machine (windows 7) from virtualbox, I get an error saying: "the image file /usr/share/virtualbox/vboxguestadditions.iso is inaccessible and is being ignored." What can I do to solve this error ? | 20:40 |
| xbskid- | :D | 20:40 |
| xbskid- | Boot success! | 20:40 |
| Gnea | xbskid-: awesome | 20:40 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: hmmm idk if ati has open source drivers | 20:40 |
| xbskid- | Now if I could just figure out why the hell I don't get any video unless I change terminals... | 20:40 |
| ikonia | kristenbb investigate why it can't access it | 20:40 |
| yugnip | anyone try netflix on 12.10? works well - http://i.imgur.com/hfw8O.png | 20:40 |
| Gnea | kristenbb: did you remember to install the virtualbox packages from apt? | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kristenbb: in the powered down virtual system, check the config and eject the ISO you have set as the optical drive | 20:41 |
| juniour | sorry guys checking the intelligence of ubottu | 20:41 |
| bekks | kristenbb: Remove the virtualbox installation, and use the official installation package from www.virtualbox.org | 20:41 |
| danielboston26 | Atlantic777: people usually have issues with nvidia because their drivers are not open source so they are not included in linux distros | 20:41 |
| juniour | phuck | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: its just the VM config | 20:41 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: it has, the radeon dirvers. Proprietary are fglrx. But... I think that t's something other. | 20:41 |
| kristenbb | Gnea: on which system, do I need to install it on the guest ? | 20:41 |
| Atlantic777 | danielboston26: erm, nvidia has open source drivers, too. Nouveau... | 20:41 |
| bekks | ActionParsnip: Actually he is missing the ISO, since it isnt provided by the repackaged vbox from Ubuntu. | 20:41 |
| atari314 | Hello, does anyone know why the kernel is waiting 15s (dmesg: http://pastebin.com/4r2AhGg4 )? I've blacklisted my ethernet module on a previous test, but it's still waiting 10s for something. | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: yes, but if you have a VM with the ISO set as the optical drive at boot and it isn't present you will get the error | 20:42 |
| Gnea | kristenbb: well it needs to be installed on the system that you're going to run virtualbox from | 20:42 |
| John76 | Thanks Gnea I was AFK, checking it out now | 20:42 |
| bekks | ActionParsnip: Yes. | 20:42 |
| juniour | hi | 20:42 |
| Gnea | John76: cheers | 20:43 |
| SiDi | hi people. im using notify osd under an arch distro and somehow at some point i ended up with green background notifications... and i found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/notifyosd-to-use-same-colour-as-dash.html now im wondering exactly what the behavior of notify osd is meant to be on ubuntu, whether it actually arbitrarily changes colors | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: so just set the optical drive to not have that iSO mounted at startup and the error goes | 20:43 |
| juniour | sorry guys | 20:43 |
| kristenbb | Gnea: oh, didn't know that. so which package should I use ? there are many with a similar name | 20:43 |
| kristenbb | Gnea: virtualbox-guest-additions , virtualbox-guest-additions-iso, ... | 20:43 |
| Gnea | kristenbb: well if you look through the list at the descriptions and read them, you should be able to make an educated decision. | 20:44 |
| juniour | sorry guys just checking the intelligence of ubottu working on artificial intelligence | 20:44 |
| juniour | project | 20:44 |
| ikonia | juniour: do you have a question or are you just going to say random words ? | 20:44 |
| kristenbb | Gnea: how can I get a description? | 20:44 |
| John76 | gnea this is a lot of work? im new to linux | 20:44 |
| juniour | ikonia random words | 20:44 |
| ikonia | juniour: then stop | 20:44 |
| juniour | i cant | 20:44 |
| xbskid- | The only thing I don't like about Ubuntu so far (And this may apply to other desktop distros) is that I find the resize areas on the window chrome to be razor thin. | 20:44 |
| John76 | or can i just steal his xorg conf Gnea | 20:44 |
| Gnea | kristenbb: well if you make your terminal take up the whole screen, then type: apt-cache search virtualbox, you will automatically see them | 20:44 |
| bendym | kristenbb: or go to www.oracle.com and download the non-free (although zero cost!) vendor packages | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kristenbb: did you unmount the ISO from the VM?> | 20:45 |
| cuddylier | Gnea It wasn't my host :( | 20:45 |
| cuddylier | Anyone have any idea why all ports are blocked on eth1:3? Here are my IP tables: http://puu.sh/1rGOA | 20:45 |
| === zoite_ is now known as zoite | ||
| kristenbb | ActionParsnip: I don't think your answer is related to my question. I don't have a problem loading the virtual machine, the system loads, it's not a iso. My problem is rather about the guest additions | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kristenbb: did you use the menu in the top of the running VM? | 20:46 |
| SiDi | hi people. im using notify osd under an arch distro and somehow at some point i ended up with green background notifications... and i found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/notifyosd-to-use-same-colour-as-dash.html now im wondering exactly what the behavior of notify osd is meant to be on ubuntu, whether it actually arbitrarily changes colors | 20:46 |
| octocpp | Is there a way to make my cpu fan go full speed? It will not speed up and i keep overheating? | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | SiDi: arch isn't supported here | 20:46 |
| octocpp | I dont have and pwm controls to use pwmconfig and fancontol apps | 20:47 |
| kristenbb | ActionParsnip: I didn't use anything so far, I just started it, after having copied .virtualbox from my old home system to the new system | 20:47 |
| SiDi | ActionParsnip: Im asking about the behavior of canonical supported software on a canonical supported distro | 20:47 |
| kristenbb | ActionParsnip: and this message appeared | 20:47 |

| cuddylier | How do I clear my IP tables? | 20:48 |
| SiDi | ActionParsnip: try and read my question until the end please: im asking whether, on ubuntu, notify osd changes color from the original dark grey one, because im trying to understand why it does in my case | 20:48 |
| jrib | cuddylier: sudo iptables -F | 20:48 |
| ikonia | cuddylier: or you using iptables or the ufw interface ? | 20:48 |
| cuddylier | iptables in ssh | 20:48 |
| cuddylier | ikonia | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | SiDi: may help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD | 20:50 |
| Gnea | !iptables | cuddylier | 20:50 |
| ubottu | cuddylier: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 20:50 |
| Gnea | cuddylier: see that second URL, it will tell you all you need to know. | 20:50 |
| cuddylier | Yeah, clearing iptables worked :D | 20:50 |
| SiDi | ActionParsnip: thanks. from experience this wiki page has been rarely maintained though :) | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | SiDi: the fact is, you said you are using arch, so we cannot possibly support you, there are lots of possibly missing configs | 20:51 |
| cuddylier | Gnea None of that documentation states what to do if you have multiple ports | 20:52 |
| atari314 | Hello, does anyone know why the kernel is waiting 15s (dmesg: http://pastebin.com/4r2AhGg4 )? I've blacklisted my ethernet module on a previous test, but it's still waiting 10s for something. | 20:52 |
| SiDi | ActionParsnip: yeah i know. im just trying to understand what the default behaviour is to find out why it changed. obviously i didnt setup unity and didnt modify notify osd specific files, so that means the daemon reads some other config files from other software components. which i dont think is good | 20:54 |
| cuddylier | 'iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port 25565 -i eth1' blocks all my IPs and ports... | 20:54 |
| cuddylier | Why on earth would it do that | 20:54 |

| trism | xbskid-: indicator-messages, but it will hide itself if no apps are using it (using pidgin on 12.10?) | 20:56 |
| SiDi | ActionParsnip: thanks. ill probably replace it with a patched version indeed. one last thing, do you know whats the channel/team name/bug tracker of the usability people in canonical now? i have serious concerns about text on green bgs regardless of whether using arch or ubuntu :-) | 20:56 |

| VlanX | ActionParsnip, was it you that suggested me to set some parameter on 12.04 to avoid massive write rates to HDD's after many seconds of idle time? | 22:19 |
| VlanX | like when downloading ubuntu's torrents | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | VlanX: I gave a link that looked smart. You can also add options like: noatime | 22:20 |

| dr_willis | UUID=96db / ext4 discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 22:21 |
| serunu | dr_willis: thank you. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1368886/ is my fstab if anyone wants to look. i just want my external usb HD's to mount to same location. for some reason when they mount its not always the same place. | 22:21 |
| dr_willis | serunu: fstab defines exactly where they mount to.. they shouldent be moveing | 22:22 |
| serunu | dr_willis: thats why im trying to interput my fstab to set/verify the defaults | 22:22 |
| juniour_ | hi | 22:22 |
| dr_willis | serunu: you have no fstab entries for external disks that i can see | 22:23 |
| serunu | dr_willis: i know, my problems begin.... although i know they are mounted at this very time. | 22:23 |
| dr_willis | serunu: nautilus is auto mounting them 'on the fly' when they are first accessed | 22:24 |
| dr_willis | !fstab | 22:24 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:24 |
| dr_willis | make a fstab line for each one. and it wont do that | 22:24 |
| VlanX | ActionParsnip: no, i was not referring to the option of not having the OS to update when a file was accessed. I'm wondering why when i download a distro with transmission i have several seconds of idle and suddently it starts writing like crazy for two seconds, and then it idles again. I wonder if a more smooth writing process would be more desirable. | 22:24 |
| gunarm2 | serunu, blkid to get the UUID of your usb HD and add a line for it similar to the line for you / partition in the fstab. i'm not sure if that will fix it though if its not plugged in at boot time, try just manually mounting the thing to a directory you make. i think that overwrites metadata for when it gets automatically mounted | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | VlanX: not sure there dude, sorry | 22:24 |
| VlanX | ActionParsnip no problem man :) | 22:25 |
| serunu | external HD's always plugged in. problem began when they did not mount at boot so i made places for them to mount. today, after a reboot they mount to orignal place. I will look into adding my own lines into fstab. thanks. | 22:26 |

| RodneyMillerPCA | The only issue I have is installing the oracle java. I'm a toodler yet in ubuntu. lol | 23:00 |

| brandon420 | almoxarife, I don't notice any difference | 23:01 |
| RodneyMillerPCA | I would be honored if you point me to one jj99 | 23:02 |

| jj99 | RodneyMillerPCA https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java that seems a pretty decent guide | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | suhaib: i do | 23:03 |
| jj99 | RodneyMillerPCA you should be fine with installing the jre | 23:04 |

| ActionParsnip | jj99: i've heard of people having great successes with oracle java | 23:04 |
| suhaib | ActionParsnip: I was wondering what is the difference between /connect and /server ? | 23:04 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip yeah but some webapps are broken with open java | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: yes, some. If a person doesn't use the broken ones, why add the oracle one? | 23:05 |
| almoxarife | brandon420: the switching is via distro specific, i use kde | 23:05 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, does compiz drain your resources like it did on gnome? (im using unity) The games i am trying to play work/run "decently" on windows. | 23:05 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip yeah but why use a broken environment | 23:05 |
| RodneyMillerPCA | Awesome. I was over and over the site and missed that one. Thank you very much jj99 | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: why expend effort when what you have is ticking the boxes? Fixing something that isn't broken? | 23:05 |
| jj99 | suhaib server will disconnect your current connection | 23:05 |
| almoxarife | brandon420: can you try running the game without compiz? | 23:06 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip well anyways a large scandinavian bank has an internet banking solution that doesn't work with open java | 23:06 |
| brandon420 | Just killall compiz? | 23:06 |
| jj99 | danskebank to be more precise | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: well then you need the oracle one..... | 23:06 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife just killall compiz? I don't know where to turn it off otherwise. | 23:07 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip but anyways i disagree with shipping a broken environment | 23:07 |
| almoxarife | brandon420: no, that would toss cookies with your graphics, i think, you are now asking me questions about something i dont use, someone else here must be a compiz guru | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | suhaib: /server seems to be for adding it to the config in some way.....try asking in #irssi | 23:07 |
| suhaib | jj99: Oh. So /server if you want one connection and /connection of you want to join multi rooms ? I hope am correct :P | 23:07 |
| jj99 | suhaib yes thatsabout it | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: it works for many, so its not broken. It just doesn't suit YOUR needs. Nothing more | 23:08 |
| jj99 | connect opens a new server tab that you can toggle with ctrl+x | 23:08 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, alright, thank you for helping me out. =) | 23:08 |
| suhaib | ActionParsnip: thanks | 23:08 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip but you can still run into broken webapps with open java | 23:08 |
| suhaib | jj99: aha, this is the trick :-) | 23:09 |
| suhaib | jj99: thanks | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: its like saying "why does ubuntu ship with firefox.Its broken". I hate firefox. Same difference | 23:09 |
| jj99 | maybe it works now but in a year you'll stumble into your new favourite webapp that doesn't work | 23:09 |
| almoxarife | brandon420: there is something you could try, 'openbox' is a light DM, no compiz, install it, log into it and then run the game' | 23:09 |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip but firefox does not have a fully working "reference" implementation | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: then if you find you need oracle java, you can install it | 23:09 |
| suhaib | almoxarife: but it's really hard to configure :-S | 23:09 |
| walterwoj | how can I install ddclient 3.8.1 in U12.04? The only one I can apt-get is 3.8.0 | 23:09 |

| ActionParsnip | walterwoj: I've found a PPA for 3.8. in Precise | 23:12 |
| dr_willis | almoxarife: they all have game capability.... | 23:12 |
| dr_willis | almoxarife: openbox is a popular one. | 23:12 |
| jrib | almoxarife: if you want a suggestion... try one of the boxes like openbox or fluxbox | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | walterwoj: sudo add-apt-repositry ppa:ian-hawdon/ddclient; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:12 |
| Bl4cklisted | almoxarife: XFCE is also pretty lightweight | 23:13 |
| almoxarife | jrib: it was not my issue, my rig(kde) works fine | 23:13 |
| jj99 | kostkon hehe | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: we don't all use the same java stuff you do, so we don't need the same java you do. The open java may work for everything we need. How ignorant can you be? "I need oracle Java so you must all use it!" | 23:13 |
| kostkon | jj99, ;) | 23:13 |
| * almoxarife uses qtrazor when he wants light | 23:14 | |
| jj99 | ActionParsnip it's not really about that _i_ need it, just to point a real life example how it is broken | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jj99: I know but for many open java is fine, so it's not broken, like you said it is | 23:15 |
| walterwoj | ActionParsnip: awesome thanks! | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | walterwoj: just used the PPA link ubottu gave..... | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | walterwoj: there is a nightly build too: https://launchpad.net/~agib/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise | 23:16 |
| almoxarife | wow, someone got netflix to run on ubuntu, good job | 23:16 |
| jj99 | perhaps, i' off now | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | almoxarife: now i will never leave the house..... | 23:17 |

| almoxarife | dr_willis: i am guessing 'netflix' is not complaining | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | almoxarife: i bet the company will be. | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: how so? | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | its making things too easy to screen capture. ;) | 23:18 |
| gunarm1 | how can you look up metapackage heirarchies from the repos? | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: true but maybe more folks get subscriptions :) | 23:18 |
| gustav__ | almoxarife: who what where | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | but the netflix thing is running in wine. so we know how stable that can be... | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: gonna test it a month ;) | 23:19 |
| almoxarife | gustav__: not sure what you mean | 23:19 |
| gustav__ | almoxarife: Ok. | 23:19 |

| dr_willis | this is a support channel. so yes. | 23:23 |
| Jpham | thanks dr willis | 23:24 |
| hash_ | ok so i somehow nolonger have a sound card how can i refind it | 23:24 |
| hash_ | having an hdmi cable plugged in shouldnt have an effect on my sound card right | 23:27 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| escott | hash_, it might | 23:27 |
| blackshirt | hello | 23:29 |
| c0dr | whatup wes | 23:30 |
| hash_ | so i used the arecord -l command and it shows no sound cards found | 23:30 |
| hash_ | but i do belive i see it under lspci | 23:32 |
| gunarm1 | if i install a metapackage a, with one of several packages b, which has a dependancy to c. am I correct that apt get remove b will remove dependancy c immediatly, but wait until autoremove to remove a, and all of a's dependancies? | 23:33 |
| odin | Hello | 23:33 |
| escott | hash_, i believe the pulse audio gui does not show an HDMI card until the HDMI cord is plugged in. I would think arecord would list it no matter what, but it might make a difference if arecord is going through pulse | 23:34 |
| escott | gunarm1, no. apt-get remove b should just remove b | 23:34 |
| Bustacap | Hey, I'm thinking about going back to breezy badger days for a customers crappy old laptop that just wants to browse the web. Will I be able to get the annoying broadcom wlan drivers working on a distro that old? | 23:35 |
| escott | gunarm1, rather it will remove b, not that a is unsatisfied and also remove a | 23:35 |
| hash_ | well escott, i tried the arecord with and without the hdmi plugged in both nothing and the audio i saw under lspci is my hdmi audio | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: i dont see the point in going to an old relase really. | 23:36 |
| kostkon | Bustacap, just don't. It will be full of security holes. | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: theres disrtos out there made with older hardware in mind. | 23:36 |
| hash_ | now im wondering if i fried my soundcard somehow | 23:36 |
| kostkon | Bustacap, you will be putting your customer's data and personal info at risk | 23:36 |
| serunu | i know syntax for filename with space is example: my\ folder. i am trying to input this into fstab but it will not recoginze it. | 23:36 |
| dr_willis | saw a few mentioned on disrtowatch this week with a focus on 'old hardware' as in 10+ yrs old | 23:36 |
| === Alejandro is now known as Guest76963 | ||
| dr_willis | serunu: you trying to mount a samba share? or what excatly? fstab does NOT use that syntax for spaces | 23:37 |
| Bustacap | dr_willis: the problem is that it's got the horrible radeon x1200 gpu and new releases don't support it. | 23:37 |
| Bustacap | So it's very slow. | 23:37 |
| kostkon | Bustacap, try xubuntu 12.04 or lubuntu | 23:37 |
| Bustacap | Nope. Drivers only work for 8.04 and older for this video card from what I read. | 23:37 |
| serunu | dr_willis: it is ntfs filesystem, friends(windows user) HD that has label My Book | 23:38 |
| dr_willis | /dev/sda1 /mnt/first\040disk ext3 options 0 0 | 23:38 |
| Bustacap | So I figured if I'm going back to 8.04, I might as well just go back to breezy. | 23:38 |
| dr_willis | You dont have to use the label name. You vould use the uuid or /dev/sdXX name schemd | 23:38 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: i dont see the point. | 23:38 |
| Bustacap | To use the ati drivers. | 23:39 |
| Bustacap | Cause I can't do anything on this thing on 12.10 | 23:39 |
| Bustacap | I just want something small and old school than can run on the crappiest of crappiest computers. | 23:39 |
| dr_willis | distrowatch lists several for Older hardware | 23:39 |
| Bustacap | All she does is sit on facebook all day lol | 23:39 |
| Bustacap | Yeah, but I don't want to try a bunch out, I used breezy back in the day lol. | 23:40 |

| serunu | dr_willis: is there anyway to get fstab to accept space? | 23:41 |
| kostkon | Bustacap, try these | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | serunu: the example line i pastesd showd how to use a space. | 23:42 |

| kostkon | Chunkin, i'll try it soon myself | 23:52 |
