[00:00] Hello, looking for a quick bit of help with dnsmasq does not seem to come back with a dns but gives dhcp out fine and everything just can't find a website. [00:00] Zetsumei, maybe I can help. [00:00] private me a message. [00:00] dr_willis, it just says "establising connectino to pulseaudio. please wait." Should i also mention that i am currently listening to music... [00:01] under sound it shows Dummy Output [00:01] brandon420: is pulseaudio even installed? [00:02] dident you say you had no sound earlier? [00:02] KM0201, Shouldn't it be by default? [00:02] brandon420: i think so... try sudo apt-get install pulseaudio see if it installs... that looks like it's not installed [00:03] yes i have no sound [00:03] dr_willis, I stated that i had to download/use gnome alsa mixer to change my volume. [00:03] oh [00:03] opps [00:03] brandon420: so? whats the actual issue then? [00:03] can anyone recomend a dynamic dns cleint that works? (ddclient has a bug) [00:03] http://imm.io/M92H [00:04] dr_willis, i would like pulse audio to work correctly. So that i can use system>sounds so control my audio [00:04] dr_willis: kostkon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/+bug/449932 [00:04] Launchpad bug 449932 in gdebi (Ubuntu) "gdebi should support installing more than one package" [Wishlist,Triaged] [00:05] ubottu: :) [00:05] It sucks so much [00:05] This is 2010 ticket [00:05] KM0201, brandon420@brandon420-M-7315U:~$ pulseaudio [00:05] E: [pulseaudio] module-ladspa-sink.c: Master sink not found [00:05] E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-ladspa-sink" (argument: "sink_name=ladspa_output.mbeq_1197.mbeq master= plugin=mbeq_1197 label=mbeq control=-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,-30.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0"): initialization failed.

They are blocking pulseaudio [00:07] brandon420: post #2? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642262 [00:07] brandon420, then try to start pulseaudio again, by just giving: pulseaudio -D [00:08] kostkon, "Deamon sartup failed." [00:08] brandon420, :/ [00:09] KM0201, But shouldn't I delete the alsa folder (there isn't one) since I am trying to use pulse as my default? [00:10] brandon420: if you're trying to use pulse, why on earth do you have alsa installed? [00:10] that's like getting a drivers license so you can ride a bike [00:10] I have no idea. [00:10] err.. Pulse uses alsa.. [00:10] ok, i stand corrected [00:10] so just delete /.pulse [00:10] ;) [00:10] All of this started when i set my sound to come out of my hdmi [00:11] brandon420, what's the output of: fuser -v /dev/snd/* [00:11] KM0201, pulse sits on top of alsa [00:11] kostkon: yeah, so i see [00:12] kostkon, nothing.

[00:14] that worked. =) [00:15] Thank you guys <3 [00:16] all it was was a configuration issue apparently [00:16] walterwoj: find a ppa or use source to ise a newer version? [00:16] deleting /.pulseaudio and restarting, simply set it to default [00:16] Hmms, I wonder what I did. [00:17] well, you said it started when you were messing w/ hdmi... [00:17] I only noticed it after I took my laptop and watched a movie downstairs [00:17] well, now I know what todo when/if it happens next time. [00:17] I tried the ppa install but it didn't fix it, even the nightly build had no effect because of a perl-sha1 issue with freedns [00:18] is natty unsupported now? [00:18] helo, yes [00:18] !natty [00:18] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on 2012-10-28, see http://ubottu.com/y/natty for details. [00:18] nope [00:18] i put it on a friend's laptop, and it has worked perfectly for quite some time :) [00:18] oh i thought you said "supported"... sorry [00:19] helo: unsupported doesn't mean doesn't work [00:19] but she doesn't know anything about linux, but the update manager is bugging her about updating [00:19] errr "and the upd" [00:19] that can be disabled. [00:19] but its most likely a good idea to upgrade to a supported release [00:19] it's probably better to just put her on precise... [00:20] helo, yes [00:20] should i back up ~ and do a fresh install, or just use update manager or apt to update it in place? [00:20] anyone here that can help with launchpad?

Now, I'm do an physical format.

When I try to run it as root, I get that it is a suid-root program and I can't run it as root. How would I fix this? [00:30] xbskid: Not sure then.

[00:33] KM0201: very weird, I install Ubuntu in several micros; but this is crazy... I do this: 1) Gparted = (a) remove all partitions and (b) create from scratch 3 partitions. 2) restart and Windows Continue!!! not delete... [00:33] dr_willis, would there be a way to get it to work? [00:34] wolfmitchell, this is interesting but i'm more looking for a list of a few packages to be able to log into the desktop and have the system tools and maybe firefox [00:34] KM0201: is a Notebook Sony Vaio SVT131a11l [00:34] Ubuntu-BR: like i said, i'd check your bios, and try changing the hard drives from "SATA" to "IDE" (or it may say "ATA") [00:35] KM0201: very crazy.. nautlis show everything... and Ubuntu install not show /dev/sda... and I use this same installation yesterday, no problem.

[00:40] It says I need a special e-mail address. [00:40] What kind of e-mail address do I need? [00:41] eamon: Trust me when I say you are better off avoiding Facebook altogether. [00:41] eamon: a real one? [00:41] Ubuntu V 12.10 [00:41] http://puu.sh/1rLSf [00:41] eamon: You want in on a CIA database?

[00:42] gunarm1: You can at least avoid using FB [00:42] almoxarife, no window opens up when i enter default [00:42] eamon: yes, you would need an account to read all the comments, or you can use 'cache' perhaps from google search [00:43] west: no window when you click alt-f2 ? [00:44] yes when i enter alt f2 but when i enter defaul in that little window all i get a red circle with a horizontal white line. [00:44] alt 2 opens up the application finder. [00:45] west: you need to get to 'system settings and within it to 'default applications' there you set your browser to what ever you like, that should have your icon click force 'chromium' to start [00:47] * almoxarife uses kde so app/util names may differ [00:50] filesystem question [00:50] is there something special to be done to get a USB ethernet adapter to work under 12.10?

(Memory, cpu, vram, etc) I'm using Xubintu 12 [00:53] doug__: show up where? [00:53] doug__: alt-f2 , type 'monitor' , do you get something in response like 'system monitor' ? [00:54] I'm trying to view statistics of my hardware [00:54] for example, how much Vram I have [00:55] doug__: try gnome-system-monitor [00:55] doug__: i dont see sysmonitor doing that, [00:55] doug__: erm, you may not have that on xubuntu [00:56] doug__: type 'info' instead [00:56] type it where? [00:56] doug__: alt-f2 [00:58] mistaknly: All flavors of Ubuntu use the same kernel, base system, and repositories (differences are just in the default set of installed packages). Write support is only available for journaled hfs+, exfat support isn't great but can be made to work, all other forms of FAT have great support, as does ntfs (though there is no fsck for ntfs, ntfs filesystem repair must be done from Windows). === shantorn_ is now known as furian [01:02] the jordan [01:03] thx jordan [01:03] mistaknly: You're welcome. [01:03] I just want to be able to run all the disks like Knoppix does on an installed ubuntu minimal system [01:03] is their a website or a book that teaches how to compile Ubuntu from source code [01:04] do we need such thing? [01:04] I have to support Macs and windows machines and setup samba [01:04] i compiled qemu from source with gold-like options, no issues at all [01:05] So I have removable usb drives with hfs and exfat partitions that I need to use to transfer files to another location. [01:05] Knoppix works great but only as a LiveCD [01:05] brian__: Ubuntu is a distribution, not just a single program - if you're looking for building a Linux system from source, check out Linux From Scratch [01:05] knoppix is old-school nowadays [01:06] I've just upgraded to precise from lucid and fonts are looking awful. Notice how the spacing in http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2012-11-19_01_31_40-5iqMWviI.png is completely off. [01:06] for example, knoppix doesn't support file-based persistence [01:06] What's wrong and how do I fix this? Fonts are bad in a number of places. [01:06] brian__: when you are done looking for source build, look also at 'checkinstall' [01:07] !checkinstall | brian__ [01:07] brian__: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[01:29] brandon420: no, unless the cron was set to 'seconds apart' , there may be other methods, i just thought cron would be easy, some sort of watchdog maybe? [01:29] znusgy, how big of a resize?

[02:15] Yuri-Yang: what kind of shell script? [02:15] jrib: looks kind of strange. Tought lpadmin, adm etc. was part of default groups (as in groups user has after install.) [02:15] Nickwiz: create a new user and see [02:16] Nickwiz: I think most of those groups aren't necessary anymore and stuff gets handled by polkit instead. Not sure [02:16] jrib: yes, did so, that user would have same groups as the "default" one? There is no extra magic done to that first born?

This is my question: I need to record video and sound from a Logitech c270 Webcam with VLC, from the command line. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. How do I accomplish this? [02:51] I managed to record it from the graphical interface, but I need it from the command line [02:54] Krywk: Trying to spy on someone? :) [02:56] Krywk: tried 'man vlc' in terminal? [02:57] xbskid, no. [02:57] almoxarife, Haven't tried that, I tried vlc --help [02:57] Krywk: man vlc may be more informative [02:57] almoxarife, trying that [03:00] I could also use ffmpeg, but I get ALSA buffer XRUNs [03:00] which cut the audio out [03:00] Thing is, I have to record video and audio from a webcam, from the command line. [03:00] According to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha1#General the group "admin" as been removed; I notice the group is not present in 12.10. But it also say that "However, for backwards compatibility, admin group members are still recognized as administrators" - does this mean that a clone of sudo to admin should be used if admin is needed, or is there no need for the admin group - and "magic" is done low level? [03:01] Nah. Do not know what I was thinking. Forget it. [03:01] VLC has given me great results with the GUI. [03:01] But I need to accomplish this with the command line. [03:02] And there doesn't seem to be a 'capture' method for v4l2:// [03:02] And also that captures no sound. [03:04] Hi, I'm on a gentoo installation but I can't get my trackpad to work. I've noticed, however, that it works on an ubuntu live usb session. Can anybody here help me out? The people over at #gentoo are stumped. [03:05] i hate php co,mpany niggers, why they made something that shitty like Bitch PHP nigger [03:05] Krywk: in the gui, the 'show me more' option shows the command line options part, assuming you can get video via the gui then you will have the line to use in command line [03:05] Why does Ubuntu 12.10 come with an "Amazon" link in the menu?!

Anyway I can stay with this OS, but use the entire feel of 10.04? [03:21] oh [03:21] !notunity | Sach [03:21] Sach: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:21] dumb0t: don't remember the order, so try non-destructive first :) [03:22] yeah, checking out the manpage of sed [03:22] hi community how access "usr directory" from GUI [03:23] superfake123: Looks like lightdm [03:23] talpur: /usr or "user" (as in /home/$USER) [03:24] talpur: File manager [03:24] Hey, I was wondering what way I could calculate the free memory on my computer from command line? I know if I do "cat /proc/meminfo" it tells me I have about 134mb free, but if I run htop, it shows that I have 7059mb free. Is there a way to get the correct reading? [03:24] talpur: What do you need to do? [03:24] bkc_: "/usr" [03:25] p7ank5te7: free [03:25] p7ank5te7: free -m [03:25] usr13, when I do that, it's the same as meminfo. [03:25] usr13: I want to reach at "/usr/share/doc/cscope" through GUI [03:26] p7ank5te7: Yep. [03:26] Both gui and htop read the same, that's why I was like umm? [03:26] talpur: press Ctrl+L and you'll get an address-bar where you can type absolute paths in :) [03:26] ubottu: when searching the software center for "gnome-tweak-tool", it only shows me "Tweak advanced GNOME 3 settings". Is this what you are referring to? [03:26] Sach: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:26] the way to calculate available memory is free + cached [03:26] Is it a known issue that Pidgin and Ubuntu One don't appear under the messaging indicator? [03:26] talpur: Use the GUI file manager [03:27] Sach: yes, that's what the wiki is refering to :) [03:27] bkc_: bundle of thanks === dpac|away is now known as dpac [03:27] Hello I have a problem whit a c++ can sombady help me [03:28] talpur: no problem :) [03:28] talpur: How about a GUI terminal?

[03:28] dragos ^ [03:29] fishscene: I recall in 12.04 that Pidgin, when installed, gained an entry in the messaging indicator; apparently that's not the case anymore? [03:30] Hmm.. I don't recall that happening to me pidgin has always operated independent of the integrated messaging system for me :S [03:30] bkc: I've installed the "gnome-shell" and "gnome-tweak-tool". But where do I find these applications? Under Applications? [03:30] Whit an aassigment ..I have to set an array to add 3 positive numbers, but reject negative. It only let me put in a positive no. And add him 3 times [03:31] Sach: gnome-shell is a Desktop Environment [03:31] Is any whay sombady can take a look at this ting..give me a sugeation [03:31] usr13: so how do I use this environment once it is installed? [03:32] Each: if you log off, you should have a new environment option. [03:32] Sach: You should see option for it at the login screen. [03:32] Sach: I think......

I.m a bit of a noon can somebody direct me to a c++ chanel [03:38] dragos: ##c++ [03:38] *nob [03:38] K [03:39] How would I go about installing pygtk 2.14? It's required for obkey and I'm a total newb. [03:40] Cold, you can search for it: "aptitude search (name here)" [03:40] ...might have to install aptitude because it isn't there by default. [03:41] so... [03:41] fishscene: apt-cache search... [03:41] apt-get install aptitude? [03:41] ColdRush: try apt-cache search [03:41] ...nowhere near as clean and nice as aptitude [03:41] fishscene: true, true === dpac is now known as dpac|away [03:42] I used that, but honestly I have no idea what I'm looking for [03:42] Benefits of aptitude over apt? [03:42] Ok..it tel me that I need an invitation for #c++ . Any sugestion [03:42] It said I need pygtk 2.14, I don't see that anywhere [03:42] DaemonicApathy: aptitude is a client around apt [03:42] !register | dragos [03:42] dragos: ##c++ [03:42] dragos: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [03:43] Dragons, you need to register your irc nickname on freenode [03:43] coolstar: What benefit does it offer as such? I only use apt directly. [03:44] usr: I'm still unable to use the environment that I'm familiar with from 10.04. I remember using a classic shell. Do you know how I can get this back? [03:44] DaemonicApathy: I use apt directly too, ask fishscene [03:44] Can someone please help me out here... [03:45] usr13, isn't lightdm what ubuntu comes with by default? [03:45] If apt-cache works for you, then by all means, use it. But I prefer aptitude since the search output is so much easier for me to read and parse. [03:45] coldrush: sudo apt-get install synaptic [03:45] so basically I somehow just set it to default and lost the unity skin? [03:45] Ahh, understood. Thanks, fishscene. [03:45] then open synaptic and look for whatever dependency you need, and install :) [03:45] synaptic as in synaptic package manager? [03:45] thats already installed... [03:46] yeah, then open it [03:46] search for whatever file you need [03:46] right click it, click 'mark for installation' and then apply [03:46] I don't see it :/ === one is now known as gar [03:47] Why do people have to be so vague, especially when they're making a utility for everyone to use. Not everyone understands the lingo... [03:47] what do you need again? [03:47] I'm looking for pygtk 2.14, what do that translate to... [03:47] what for? [03:48] obkey [03:48] try installing pygtk-dev [03:48] Alright [03:48] er python-pygtk2-dev [03:48] Yeah I figured :P [03:48] :) [03:49] Never thought getting my brightness keys to work would be this big of a pita [03:49] lol [03:50] is this your first time installing/using linux? [03:50] I finally got keytouch working and theres a bug that prevents my brightness up from working [03:50] I use crunchbang on my server but I followed guides for that, I'm trying to use this lubuntu netbook as my daily machine though [03:50] It's been rough :( [03:50] ahh [03:50] i keep thinking about giving lxde a try [03:51] I'm afraid to run gnome, this is a single core atom [03:51] yeah [03:51] personally, i'm a fan of xfce in the light-weight category [03:51] i run xubuntu on my old desktop which my kids use :) [03:52] its my backup system when I screw up my laptop :p [03:52] Never tried it [03:52] ColdRush, I broke my brightness hotkeys by accident a few days ago. Here's a simple fix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/174770/is-there-a-way-to-set-a-hotkey-to-change-screen-brightness [03:52] I love xubuntu. Too bad the environment interferes and messes up unity. [03:52] really fishscene? hows it do that/ === dragos is now known as dragoslica [03:53] DaemonicApathy, would I be able to do that on a CR48? I don't have fn or f# keys [03:53] :/ [03:53] ColdRush: This is what I think of when I read 'gnome': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt5lB-RoAi4 [03:53] they're all funky browser navs [03:54] Use whatever keys you want, once you have xdotool. The only catch is that you need the keycode for it. [03:54] I installed the xubuntu environment (forgot the name..) and logged in with it. Then logged in to unity. Half my indicators were from xubuntu interface and my shutdown splash was forever a weird mix of xubuntu and the unity shutdown splash [03:55] xbskid lol what am I watching [03:55] hi [03:55] using gnome classic in ubuntu 12.04. when I right click apps on my desktop panels (eg: weather) it only shows me "About". I used to get many options on 10.04. How do I get these options? === 1JTAARZGJ is now known as JoFo [03:56] sorry for the distub and for the off topic i got a news for you: http://dpaste.com/833112 [03:56] ColdRush: It's an animation by a guy who put out a few books under the 'Grickle' name; it was inspired by Norweigian legends of forest gnomes and spirits, and in turn inspired the Puzzle Agent games. [03:56] I'll have to watch these [03:56] Plus, I had two keyboard and two Bluetooth icons. Couldn't seem to de-duplicate them :/ anyway, I wiped it all clean and installed 12.10 [03:56] sach: gnome "classic" is fallback mode [03:56] and not fully functional... it keeps getting worse and will be dropped completely shortly :( [03:57] ColdRush: Some personal favorites of mine: We Sing the Forest Electric, Smartest Dog in the World [03:57] DaemonicApathy does it matter that I am using lxde? [03:57] gonyere: yes, I know... [03:57] sach: what are you trying to do specifically? [03:57] ColdRush: Sasquatch is cute, and Santa's is good for the holidays. :P [03:57] ColdRush. Not that I know of. If you can find a solution simpler for you, though, awesome. === root is now known as Guest22796 === Guest22796 is now known as tman [03:58] DaemonicApathy Well considering I can't even get these python thingys to run, I'm gonna try that [03:58] gonyere: trying to tweak my desktop panels. eg: add my dictionary app, system monitor graph, etc. [03:58] DaemonicApathy How do I find my keycodes? [03:58] sach: ahh, you'd probably be best off installing gnome-shell and looking for extensions to get things the way you want them [03:59] ColdRush: minor mistake on my part. If you use the Ubuntu settings to make the command, you can just hit the key combo you want for it. Mistook the command for the trigger for a minute. [03:59] DaemonicApathy I'm using lubuntu so I'm assuming I'll have issues [04:00] Lubuntu doesn't have a setting for keyboard shortcuts? [04:00] gonyere: yes, I've just installed gnome-shell. In 10.04, I used to be able to right click on the desktop menu and see a whole lis of the apps. This doesnt happpen with gnome-shell in 12.04 [04:00] #info [04:00] sach: if your looking for a complete list of all installed apps [04:01] in gnome-shell (not fallback mode) go up to activities and then either click on 'applications' in 3.4 or [04:01] in 3.6 the bottommost spot in the left hand panel [04:01] DaemonicApathy Not that I know of [04:01] Is it just me or does Ubuntu 12 have a habit of forgetting global hotkeys? [04:02] I set Lock Screen to Super + L, and I'll hold Super and press L, and whatever window has focus thinks I'm just typing l. [04:02] i know theres an extension (though I'm currently drawing a blank) for a traditional drop-down applications menu beside 'activities' as well [04:03] And then I go to All Settings > Keyboard, and it's set correctly! [04:03] ColdRush: That's bothersome. Looks like you'd have to edit /home//.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml manually. #lubuntu may be of more help to you. :-/ [04:03] And then I reconfigure the hotkey and THEN it works. [04:04] xbskid: wee! Awesome vid :) [04:04] im looking to uninstall zeitgeist without trouble for unity, is there a solution already? [04:04] DaemonicApathy I was in there earlier and nobody ever talks...guess I didn't pick a great distro to work with haha [04:04] gonyere: I don't see Activities. Where is this? [04:05] you need to be in gnome-shell not gnome-classic [04:05] has anyone here got 2 graphics nvidia cards working ; i've got a second card showing up as a seperate x-screen, but it doesn't seem to register as part of the desktop. I have multiple monitors in the first card, showing up as a large desktop with the screens positioned ok [04:07] NVIDIA X Server Settings - i see "X Screen 0" - with my working monitors - and "X Screen 1".

[04:10] Any one trying beta 13.10 ubuntu [04:10] ColdRush: I don't know about remix. Nor do i know about your media keys. [04:10] man winehq is quiet [04:12] ColdRush: All I know is I'm very well satisfied with xfce [04:12] keytouch makes me want to smash my head in :( [04:12] lol [04:12] ColdRush: xfce is easy to configure and stay's out of your way. [04:12] then that would be a headtouch [04:13] xrandr only shows me outputs on the first graphics card. [04:13] why does my brightness up key only work when I press my brightness down... [04:13] its like its taunting me because it negates itself [04:14] never mind. 4 screens is enough, i dont need 6 [04:19] Hello [04:19] im looking to uninstall zeitgeist without trouble for unity, is there a solution already? === wgssaal is now known as nighthawk444 [04:22] wow so many times i try to download ubuntu and getting to work on a eeepc 1025c it WORKING [04:23] not to many people chat on here do they???

[04:32] lotuspsychje, I've checked that page, and I bought one which was listed as supported but in fact was not. [04:33] nolpek:some cards might need a tweak like firmware download [04:34] lotuspsychje, exactly, and I'm shopping for a card which doesn't need a tweek. [04:34] He wants one that works out-of-the-box.. [04:34] nolpek: i bought sitecome usb adapter and linksys pci recently, the both worked flawless on ubuntu [04:35] ok, thx.

[04:35] nolpek: my Netgear WG311T works with zero effort [04:36] nolpek that "google it" is noob talk for "I dont know and I want others to think I badass.

[04:38] fishscene: i tryed to add zeitgeist info to the bot, but nobody change yet..

[05:15] ya almoxarife [05:16] asilhouette: use synaptic to find it, un-install it there [05:16] did that also, and reinstalled, no luck [05:16] asilhouette: no luck at what? [05:17] can anyone help me with a question? [05:17] uninstalling with synaptic with configurations, then i reinstalled, but it stayed the same [05:17] raider6d: with details, maybe [05:18] ActionParsnip: can you help me with paunchpad?

[05:19] simplew: I'd ask in #launchpad [05:19] asilhouette did the way showed you remove zietg? No issues to Unity? [05:19] ActionParsnip: i did [05:20] raider6d: you can resize your NTFS in windows and install to the freed space (recommended by me) or you can install via Wubi [05:21] wolfygang: make a live cd or a live usb [05:21] I put the .iso on a cd also but I can't boot from it [05:21] okay.. thank you. should i give them equal space? [05:22] wolfygang: 10.4? why [05:22] To compile ROMs on Android [05:22] All the guides are for 10.4 [05:22] wolfygang you using CM10 with eclipse to dev? [05:23] No, I'm trying to compile a custom kernel for the Viper, but Fedora just isn't working. [05:23] raider6d: Ubuntu doesn't need too much space. Give it 15Gb and you'll be fine. You can store your user data on the NTFS to accommodate your WIndows OSes lack of Ext4 support [05:24] Hi, is there a problem with ubuntu installation on 3TB disks? [05:24] sad that codeworkX left the CM10 project over the Exynos4 SoC. He has some skills. [05:25] wonderful.. thanks a bunch [05:25] Hey atleast you have CM10 lol, our device has no Roms yet or kernels, can't be overclocked and no CWM:P [05:25] wolfygang: take it to android talk [05:26] Sorry, I just want to know a terminal command to run this .ISO I mounted. [05:26] !android [05:27] wolfygang: you have an iso, it needs to be run off cd/usb to do anything worthwhile [05:27] sudo mount filename.iso /media/iso -t iso9660 -o loop [05:27] woob [05:27] woob [05:27] woob [05:27] Soo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

What am I missing in the command? [05:32] excalibr: tested working exactly same, with godaddy [05:32] Do I burn the contents inside the .iso to a cd or the .iso itself? [05:32] excalibr: but not working in my localhost [05:32] I am trying to setup the partitions for a webserver, most of my files will be in /var/www. During the partitioning step of the installation, should I use /var/www as the mounting point and allocate 2.5TB to it? [05:32] wolfygang: the ISO itself, there is no extraction at all [05:32] or /var [05:32] wolfygang: http://infrarecorder.org/ use that, burn the ISO and burn as slowly aspossible [05:33] wolfygang: sounds like you extracted the files then used a junk burner to make the CD, this will not work [05:33] th3j35t3r: hipsters :) , [05:33] I burned the .iso itself on the cd. If I open up the cd I can see the .iso file [05:34] anyone ? [05:34] wolfygang: you see a file with the .iso extension? [05:34] wolfygang: so you did not burned it as an image¿ [05:35] also be sure to run md5sum [05:35] Yes, it has the .iso extension is that my problem ? [05:35] wolfygang: that's why [05:35] wolfygang: problem, yes, and wont boot, thats obvious though [05:35] jrib: cat /var/log/installer/syslog | grep "user-setup" [05:36] wolfygang: you burned the file, rather than burning the ISO as an ISO which would give all the files in the ISO on the CD when you opened it [05:36] guys i want to write a replacement for gnome-screensaver. where can i find the docs for that?? [05:36] * KLined6 is Away: Auto Away: Idle 12m ..[kl6.0].. === ericab is now known as ericab_away [05:36] wolfygang: mainly because the windows burner is junk [05:36] almoxarife =) [05:36] wolfygang: install infrarecorder and you can burn the ISO as it is supposed to be burned, burn as slowly as possible [05:37] AHH, it has disc image burner in its name. Ok well im an idiot, thank you. [05:38] wolfygang: yes, you have a CD with 1 file, it should have lots of files [05:39] So the burning program should basically be extracting the files itself to a CD? [05:40] wolfygang: yes, its all handled for you [05:40] wolfygang: look at the iso as a zip, kinda sorta, you copied the zip, you didnt expand it [05:40] wolfygang: just give it the ISO and tell it to burn as slowly as possible and it will all work [05:41] can anyone help me with rsync, i want to copy everything except upload dir and config.php. how do i do that? [05:42] k1ng: there is the option: --exclude=PATTERN [05:43] Which write method should I use?

[05:54] only dirs, not files [05:54] makara: libimobiledevice, libirecovery, ideviceactivate ... now go google it ^.^ [05:55] alien2050: there is a batch renamer if memory serves [05:55] alien2050: cli or gui? [05:55] I was thinking maybe some sed magic [05:55] alien2050: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gprename-complete-batch-renamer-for-linux.html [05:55] cli if possible [05:55] for gui there's xfce-rename-batch [05:55] alien2050: I'd ask in #bash too [05:55] cli, use for-loops and awk :) [05:56] hmmm how would awk help me [05:56] alien2050, combine "find" and "mv" I guess... something like: "find . -type d -iname '*.*' -exec rename 's/\./\-/g' {} -n \; " === kInOzAwA is now known as Guest37435 [05:56] alien2050, not "mv" but "rename" I meant.

[05:58] alien2050, the "-n" for rename is for having a test-/dry-run. Remove the "-n" if you feel sure about it. [05:59] great thx! [06:15] Magiobiwan, had a go at ##apple.

[06:27] jdpeck: Lucid has about 6 months support left, so why bother with it? [06:28] its going to be used for android stuff and thats what some developers said to use as it works better than 12 with android [06:28] jdpeck: try 12.04 [06:28] jdpeck: I suggest a new install of Precise and it will be supported til APril 2017 [06:29] jdpeck: Lucid has such old versions of everything, its hard to make newer stuff work with it [06:29] I have always used 10.04 for android system and 12.04 for android apps [06:29] While I mount windows partitions with nautilus its worked but from command line mount says only root can do that [06:29] i will give 12 a shot [06:30] How to mount ntfs partition with normal user? just like nautilus do [06:30] MiteshShah, that is correct, you need to use sudo as well as mount from terminal [06:30] mechdave: it would be for system [06:30] jdpeck: i think 12.04 is much polished than any other ubuntu release..... [06:31] Mechdave: yes I know that but I need to setup another ntfs partition for end user and they hates cli so I wonder how nautilus can do that things [06:31] jdpeck, I have had trouble with 12.04 with getting the compilation to work with the android source. I know the guys here say 12.04 for everything but personally I have had nothing but trouble when it comes to compiling android on it. If set up correctly 10.04 works well [06:32] MiteshShah, you need to add the permission to the user account to allow them to auto mount the partition. Or you could modify the /etc/fstab file to include a permission for that user [06:33] MiteshShah: add it in /etc/fstab and add the option: user and your users can mount the partition === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [06:33] Mechdave: /dev/sda4 /media/Storage ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [06:33] mechdave: that is what I have heard.

I might see if eris can help me out since he recommended it [06:34] Mechdave: ActionParsnip can you give me which user I need to add [06:34] thanks for the input [06:34] MiteshShah, try adding user in where defaults is as well [06:34] MiteshShah: user is the word to add, its not an actual user, it's the word itself [06:34] jdpeck, No worries :) Good luck with it all [06:38] MiteshShah: /dev/sda4 /media/Storage ntfs-3g gid=1000,rw,user 0 0 may do it [06:39] MiteshShah: it will mount at boot, you can add the mount point to the bookmarks for easy access.

[06:47] yes , the same network section [06:47] XP:192.168.1.10, ubuntu:192.168.1.11 [06:47] kevin: did you configure a firewall on Ubuntu? [06:48] after installing the ubuntu, I only use "sudo ufw enable 192.168.1.10". [06:48] ssh xterm gets 'can't open display localhost:12.0', connecting to server from a client with xforwarding enabled putty, /etc/ssh/ssh(d)_config both have x11forwarding/x11forward enabled, I can connect to a different server with putty and it works fine and if I connect from the 3rd computer I also get the same error so I think the problem is server side. Are there any debug logs for this type of thing? ssh/x forwarding? [06:49] the issue is still there without set the ufw. [06:50] kevin: is it ok if you don't run that command? [06:50] no , the same issue [06:50] aaas: what OS are you SSHing from? [06:50] kevin: You don't need an IP for "enable" [06:50] ActionParsnip ubuntu and windows 8 [06:51] aaas: on Windows8, do you have an X server (like xming) installed and running? === somethinginteres is now known as Guest80838 [06:51] kevin: You sure you're not mistaking "enable" for "allow" ? [06:51] ActionParsnip yes, and when i connect to the other ubuntu server it works fine [06:51] sorry, it is allow, not enable [06:51] aaas: on the Ubuntu system, did you connect using: ssh -X -C username@server [06:52] kevin: Right, that's not how you allow an IP. [06:52] ActionParsnip yes but I"ll try again to make sure [06:52] kevin: You can 'allow' ports, not IPs like that.

[06:53] aaas: if another system works, compare the sshd_config files [06:54] ActionParsnip: apparently he's running it off a USB [06:55] Guest80838: running what? [06:55] @jpds, Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10 [06:55] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu. He says running via livecd the wireless works? [06:55] 192.168.1.10 is for XP [06:55] ActionParsnip diff shows the same except for one change I just made so that I could get x2go to try and connect [06:56] Guest80838: then run: sudo lshw -C network and check the driver module loaded and such [06:56] aaas: if you undo that change, is it ok? [06:56] ActionParsnip just tried no [06:57] jpds ? [06:58] jpds: I check the ufw command, I get "Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10" [06:58] aaas: try: echo $DISPLAY on one that works, and onne that doesn't and compare [06:58] i have downloaded 12.10 version from the site. currently I have 12.04. is there any way I can upgrade it offline without fresh installation??? [06:58] jpds: I check the ufw command, I get "Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10" [06:58] kevin: And if you disable the firewall, with ufw disable - the connection works? [06:58] ActionParsnip one is 10 and the other is 12 (or 13 if connecting to the other computer0 [06:59] arulmoz: sure, you can boot to the 12.10 CD and there will be an upgrade option [06:59] when i try to resize my btrfs partion (have installed btrfs-tools),it says ---> "http://pastebin.com/JeBXcZwJ" [06:59] aaas: try exporting the variable to the working value and try then [06:59] http://pastebin.com/JeBXcZwJ [06:59] ActionParsnip: can I mount the ISO file.. without need of a cd?? [06:59] I have configured my system to successfully use a usb flash drive to be required to log into my computer, but I had to modify a script manually. I am looking for a GUI software that would allow me to configure pamusb [06:59] connection doesn't work either [07:01] ActionParsnip, looks like it sees the card but it's disabled? http://pastebin.com/WCD46BQ7 [07:01] arulmoz: could use a USB storage / SD card.... [07:02] Guest80838: did you try unloading b43-pci-bridge and b43, then loading b43 [07:02] ActionParsnip: thanx... I was looking for a way not to use external devices.. but anyway nice to hangout with ubuntu community bye [07:03] arulmoz: if you mount the ISO, there may bean upgrade script in it's root [07:03] ActionParsnip: haven't tried much at all myself. I am not too familiar with commands etc to resolve this and I'm not in front of the machine unfortunately [07:03] arulmoz: I don't upgrade so its not something I've ever had to bother with. I always clean install for an easier life [07:03] ActionParsnip yeah still nothing.... three things I have changed in the past few days are getting postfix to forward mail...maybe something with .ssh folder? and changing the x11 driver to 'dummy' (this is headless) and making a script so that it would hibernate when idle for 1 hour (pm-hibernate), I'll try changing mving .ssh and maybe the video driver, but I'm running out of ideas [07:04] Guest80838: sudo modprobe -r b43-pci-bridge b43; sleep 2; sudo modprobe b43 [07:04] Guest80838: simply resigning to 'not too familiar with commands' won't help you learn [07:04] jpds: any other ways? [07:05] kevin: Then it's not a firewall problem. [07:06] ActionParsnip: definitely agree with that mate. anything your showing me I am copying to read up on later for sure. [07:06] aaas: does the X forwarding fail on all OSes and only this one server? [07:06] jpds:do you have any ideas about this issue? [07:06] ActionParsnip only the one server === F is now known as Guest99617 [07:07] ActionParsnip: says "FATAL: Module b43_pci_bridge not found" hmmm [07:07] aaas: you could remove and purge openssh-server then reinstall it to get default settings (may need a local system visit rather than remote (smarthands) [07:08] Guest80838: try unloading then reloading b43 [07:08] ActionParsnip yes ill try that tomorrow if these other things dont work (it's headless and it's is a real pain to hook a monitor up to it) [07:09] aaas: I wouldn't take the head off it til it is 100% setup [07:10] ActionParsnip it was 100% setup, this is a new problem after being up for 78 days [07:10] aaas: i see [07:10] ActionParsnip: Nothing like purging ssh remotely. === ganesh is now known as Shiva [07:11] when I ping the same ubuntu, why is the TTL value always different? if often change from 64 to 255.

I used locate foobar but it shows me manythings which I don't search. [07:32] ms_: did you run: sudo updatedb first? [07:33] lifelike, :) [07:33] ms_: you can then run: locate foobar | grep -v foobar-1 [07:33] oops [07:33] ms_: you can then run: locate foobar | grep -v foobar01 [07:34] ms_: will show all folders and files with 'foobar' in but not 'foobar01' [07:34] ActionParsnip, ok thanks you, thank you, thank you :) [07:36] ms_: locate -b -r '^foobar$' [07:36] hello, I forgot my password for remote server, i can still login by ssh without password. any way can i reset my password [07:36] Mukhthar: how do you mean 'remote server'? [07:37] Mukhthar: do you mean the password you connect to SSH with? [07:37] ms_: Though that will still show directories named "foobar". [07:37] i have a vps [07:37] Mukhthar: you can run: passwd and set your password of the user you are right now [07:37] Mukhthar: you can see what that is with: whoami [07:38] ActionParsnip: it is prompting for current password, which i donot remember [07:38] Mukhthar: then you will need to be another user with sudo access, or root [07:38] Jordan_U, thank you. :) [07:38] ms_: You're welcome. [07:38] ActionParsnip: root login disabled, i am the user with root privilage. [07:39] Mukhthar: so the root account is locked down? [07:39] :) [07:39] ActionParsnip : unfortunately yes [07:40] Mukhthar: could try: sudo -i see if the sudo grace period is still active [07:40] Mukhthar: if you get a hash prompt,you are in :) [07:40] ActionParsnip : nope, prompt for password. [07:40] Mukhthar: gah, then you'll need someone local to reset the password for you [07:41] ActionParsnip : oops, this means i have locked myself. no local help. Any tips for backup so that i can reinstall it remotely [07:42] Mukhthar: backup of what? [07:42] ActionParsnip : back up of system [07:42] Mukhthar: why do you not already have one? [07:43] ActionParsnip: i have the backup of /home /var and /etc is this enough [07:44] ActionParsnip: while some files we left out from /var and /etc for previlage reasons [07:45] Mukhthar: not sure, maybe your VPS provider can advise [07:45] ActionParsnip : okay, thank you :) [07:46] Where can I see why service mysql start fails?

[07:50] no one has ship access for a properly designed ship operating system [07:51] srj001, but it should log somewhere when it doesn't even start. [07:51] invariant: so, does /var/log/mysql/error.log exist and is it not empty? [07:51] srj001: i hear that all the time but don't quite see why, 'sudo -i' exists [07:51] srj001: you can run: sudo -i and effectively become root. [07:51] ubottu, exists, but empty. [07:51] invariant: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:51] ActionParsnip: hah [07:51] somsip, exists but empty. [07:52] invariant: is this from startup or when you start it manually? [07:52] somsip, manually using startup scripts. [07:54] invariant: you could try enabling the general_error_log in /etc/mysql/my.cnf but it shouldn't really be required. I run mysql on a few servers from 10.* to 12.04 and error logging has always worked out of the box [07:54] somsip, the rootfs is full apparently. [07:54] invariant: that'll do it [07:54] Only GUI [07:54] somsip, still, completely ridiculous that it doesn't write anything to stdout. [07:54] somsip, stderr [07:54] not console [07:55] invariant: uninstall unused kernels will help. As well as: sudo apt-get clean [07:55] invariant: we live and learn.

Use that to find guides [09:36] auronandance,no i have enough light around my system and when try with vlc it shows some error notification even my neighboring system working with camera successfully === user___ is now known as franco [09:36] so none of my windows have exit or minimize buttons anymore [09:36] help? [09:37] I don't know, but someone who did would probably ask you if you've changed anything recently. [09:39] jen_: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [09:40] oneiric [09:40] jen_: do you use compiz (desktop effects etc)? [09:40] ActionParsnip, yes...haha thats when it started [09:41] jen_: what do you mean? [09:41] hello, how can I find out how much voltage and current is on my usb-ports? [09:41] ActionParsnip, I was just messin with the settings earlier then I realized I didn't have exit or minimize buttons on my windows x-x [09:41] I've booted with the nomodeset option, ActionParsnip . What should it do? [09:42] hi all. why cant i access a samba share by typing smb://ip_address/myFolder -> i get error: Failed to mount Windows share. [09:42] jen_: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [09:42] elvano_: disables kernel mode setting [09:42] elvano_: make the video a bit more stable [09:42] lovre: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [09:43] ActionParsnip, can I just run it in a terminal? [09:43] ActionParsnip: yes, but is it possible to backport it to 12.10? [09:43] ActionParsnip: or has anyone done so already? [09:43] so basicly installing Xubuntu might work with this option, ActionParsnip ? [09:43] jen_: sure but you will need the terminal running all the time. You can try it in terminal [09:44] elvano_: sure, it doesn't need 3D stuff like Ubuntu does [09:44] ActionParsnip, what do you mean running all the time? [09:44] Thanks, ActionParsnip [09:44] ct529: if you can find debs, sure. It won't be supported here though. Mixing kernels from other releases is not advised nor supported [09:45] any1 has any info about upcoming perl update? [09:45] i need a coder [09:45] //sdflk/exit [09:45] It will probably break everything... [09:45] Evil_Eric, in what language [09:46] bash [09:46] hi there [09:46] Evil_Eric, that's not coding but without arguing what's your question [09:46] you can also try #linux for bash coding [09:46] or #bash [09:47] so guys, i would like to know if it is normal for ubuntu to have ~30kbps of HDD writes when idling /out any process going on [09:47] there's a channel for bash coders? god im going to laugh at them for not being able to code in a real language, brb [09:47] andrea_: try iotop [09:47] alon: why, bash is great :) [09:47] ActionParsnip: precise [09:48] lovre: if you use the network option from nautilus, can you access it there ok? [09:49] ActionParsnip: i dont use nautilus, i use thunar. when i try to go to network folder (at least i think thats the one), i get "Failed to retrieve share list from server." [09:50] lovre: if you run: smbtree in terminal, do you see the shares? === DawnTheRainbow is now known as TheRainbowDawn [09:51] ActionParsnip: No, for this server there is no tree. for others yes. How do i provide username and pass when accessing with smb://some_ip ? [09:51] hiya ActionParsnip [09:51] lovre: when you connect to it with the file browser usually, or you can set it in /etc/fstab [09:52] okay will unnstalling compiz get rid of my problem...since that doesnt work at all === jen is now known as Guest17717 === Guest17717 is now known as flubbernugget [09:52] Yes. [09:52] auronandace when i try with vlc it shows ,Your input can't be opened: VLC i s unable to open the MRL'v4l2:///dev/video0'.check the log for details [09:53] will getting rid of compiz solve me problems? [09:53] lovre: if you run: smbclient //server/share -U user%password (changing as you need), do you see the shares? [09:53] zone: did you try te hex ID as I advised? [09:54] flubbernugget: yu havn'r stated what problems you are having, so how can we make an intelligent comment? [09:54] lsusb list ID 0ac8:3450 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

[09:58] flubbernugget: how do you mean,logging off and then logging in to the 2D session not fast enough? [09:58] Out of curiosity does Ubuntu still offer a minimalistic install disk sim. to Debian's business card install? [09:58] ActionParsnip, what if I deleted compiz? [09:58] yes i am seein above you mention site [09:59] flubbernugget: why bother, it takes up very little space [09:59] ActionParsnip, so maybe this problem will go away and I will have normal boxes again? [09:59] flubbernugget: more than likely, yes. Use the 2D session [10:00] !search killswitch-applet [10:00] Found: [10:00] moin [10:00] did I do that wrong ^^ o.O ?

[10:05] mnice: not a particularly technical search, its using the exact words you used..... [10:05] ActionParsnip: not too hard .. i wanted to use bot here specifically [10:05] brandon420: ah, sorry. If you have a bunch of names like "hello-foo-1", "meh-foo-2" and so on, you can easily rename them to "hello-bar-1", "meh-bar-2" and so forth. What is it you want to do more exactly? A simple terminal for loop could also be helpful. [10:06] mnice: its not an official package, so ubottu won't find it [10:06] yeah, i see [10:06] so plan B == DDG ;) [10:06] How can i see if i have JRE installed? [10:07] bdi: depends [10:07] mnice, ? [10:07] bdi: dpkg -l | grep -i jre [10:07] or it might not came from package but from some custom tgz or installer [10:07] mnice, no output from that command [10:08] but official oracle jre is always /usr/java === alain is now known as Guest11999 [10:08] mnice, also there us no /usr/java [10:08] bdi: so you have not jre installed as .deb package - that's with sure [10:08] how do i install jre?

[10:13] freakynl: no [10:13] ActionParsnip: thank you, i've found the proces and apparently it's "jbd2" and related to ext4 journaling. Do you happen to know if and how can i disable journaling? [10:13] k1l_: very reassuring, thx [10:14] freakynl: just remove the old linux-image-... packages [10:14] but leave at least one kernel on your system :) [10:14] k1l_: I know how it works, just fed up with having to clean stuff, reconfigure cuz /boot is full [10:14] i dont think ubuntu creates a seperate /boot [10:15] ActionParsnip, mmm which java is better? [10:15] andrea_: as a core feature of ext3|4 you should keep journaling running [10:15] ActionParsnip, so the candidates are open java and oracle java right? [10:16] mnice: but it writes too much to the drives, and since i have multiple VM's running on a SSD that results in many GB every day... [10:16] andrea_: journal_ioprio=N .. see `man mount' and check, howto change the priority [10:17] andrea_: journaling won't produce GBs per day ... [10:17] Does ubuntu 12.10 has gnome-classic ??? [10:18] yes [10:20] mnice: http://pastebin.com/bCAPpBbc [10:22] andrea_: why store VMs on an SSD? === karthick87 is now known as rakm === rakm is now known as izx [10:23] ActionParsnip: well i don't have other drives, and they run so fast on SSD's [10:24] andrea_: they aren't really made for that sort of thing [10:25] ActionParsnip: i know, but other than frequent write rates what problem can they have? [10:25] andrea_: I'd say that was a pretty big issue, there are limited writes in SSDs. [10:25] omg [10:26] sorry for correcting you in that but SSDs are excellent for storing VMs of course :D [10:26] ActionParsnip: so how about just disabling journaling at least on the VM's ? [10:26] andrea_: sounds good, also add the mount option: noatime to the VMs and host [10:27] andrea_: again - do not disable journaling with ext4 [10:27] andrea_: if you dont want journaling you should have choosen ext2 over the ext3 and ext4 variants. [10:28] ActionParsnip: afaik noatime just prefents the system to change the time of when a file was accessed. Is there other to it? [10:28] k1l_: any other advantage of ext4 to ext2 ? [10:29] andrea_: i would say ext4 is the biggest advantage. but you dont want journaling. so the choice is very limited. [10:29] and im not sure if trim works with ext2 and ext3. so that will be other issues [10:30] andrea_: think about it [10:30] andrea_: to update the time, the drive has to be written to....... [10:30] Hi, is that normal the files rc0.d/K20ssh (and others rc*/) were missing in my ubuntu server ? The ssh service start at reboot, but I wonder how when theses files are missing ... [10:31] ActionParsnip: i know but i'm talking about preventing writes when the system is idling, and i'm not accessing any file when the system idles [10:31] andrea_: does iotop show you anything? [10:31] andrea_: what are you using to virtualize? [10:31] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bCAPpBbc [10:32] I realise this is slightly off topic but is a 5400rpm usb2 hard disk fast enough to play full def 1080p mp4 videos? [10:32] devswap: should be, yes [10:33] devswap: how big is the screen playing them? [10:33] devswap: you can just divide the video size for the video lenght to see if the average transfer would apply to the USB2 protocol [10:33] k1l_: I probably did, still doesn't mean I want 30 kernel versions :) [10:33] Desproges: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc on the server? [10:33] actionparsnip: thanks - wasnt sure if a 7200 would be needed. There isnt a particular screen - I just didnt know if it would be fast enough and hence the question [10:34] oneiric [10:34] devswap: i'd just look at actual throughput [10:34] Desproges: what if you reinstall the openssh-server package? [10:35] actionparsnip: you got any experience of samsung drives - I always buy western digital but the samsung is cheaper [10:35] freakynl: there is a package called remove old kernels or something that someone made on launchpad if you want to try it [10:35] devswap: I'd ask in ##hardware about that [10:35] will do thanks [10:36] !upstart | Desproges, we have /etc/init/ssh.conf [10:36] Desproges, we have /etc/init/ssh.conf: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:36] devswap: unless you have a big screen, you don't need 1080P [10:36] ohhh thanks that's the answer ! [10:37] actionparsnip: most probably wont be but as I was asking the question I picked that as probably most resource hungry [10:37] devswap: its fast enough in most cases (for AVC bitrates) [10:37] devswap: your system will cache some to RAM as it'splayed, you'll be fine [10:38] ubottu, I didn't explained well the problem in fact. Theses files weren't present but the ssh worked fine, and now, theses files are present. Can that be a problem ? [10:38] Desproges: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:38] ah ah [10:38] tsimpson, * [10:38] andrea_: what are you using to virtualize?

[10:40] andrea_: does it happen when the host is not running the server software? [10:40] i tried wizardpen but dose not work [10:40] frederick: is it a piece of hardware?

[10:43] frederick: use the 8 character hex ID to find guides online [10:44] ActionParsnip,just google it?or what?? [10:44] devswap: always test them when brand new (copy few mp3s or whatever and check md5sums) [10:44] frederick: yes, that would be how you can find stuff online using a piece of text......

[11:32] Laibsch: somehow you are using a proportional font in place of a monospace font [11:32] Flynsarmy: I have no advise on optimus, its a mess imho [11:33] Laibsch: I don't know why you would have set it that way, or how you'd manage to not notice initially [11:33] actionparsnip osx time I guess [11:33] Flynsarmy: not sure what that means [11:33] actionparsnip means time to drop Ubuntu for OSX [11:34] Flynsarmy: ok [11:35] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/QuantalDesktop.png looks like that [11:37] gordonjcp: I am glad you were able to pick that out just from the visual cues, something I can't do. I don't know why you think I did not notice initially, I did. All users of the system are affected after the upgrade to precise [11:38] where would these changes be made system-widẻ [11:40] What is a simple software midi player? [11:41] invariant: try timidity [11:41] and you might check with aptitude which packages depend on timidity [11:42] Laibsch: /etc/fonts/conf.d/ has symlinks that affect fonts. Since they are just symlinks, you simply delete the symlink to disable a setting. There's also some font settings in your lightdm theme which may be carrying over (see /etc/lightdm/*) [11:43] Hey everyone. I'll try to be clear and brief. I'm trying to fix a friend's laptop with 12.04. It suddenly stopped booting, system was corrupt, segfautl, unable to boot to root shell, etc. I managed to save data and reinstall. But like I thought, the HDD seems damaged. It took several hours for gparted to format the drive in ext3, and disk utility shows "Disk has a few bad sectors". I managed to install after multiple failures, [11:43] but it's painfully slow. Any suggestions ? Is the HDD dying ? Thanks. [11:44] BlackNarcissus: sounds like a dying drive to me, backup ASAP and get new [11:45] yup [11:45] ActionParsnip: That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure because disk utility says the disk is ok besides a few bad sectors. [11:45] that's a dying hard disk === Galvao is now known as Guest60403 [11:45] BlackNarcissus: it should have no user-visible bad sectors at all [11:45] BlackNarcissus: bad sectors aren't great, they will spread. The drive is dying [11:46] the real problem is that the spindle bearing is beginning to fail [11:46] gordonjcp, ActionParsnip: Ok, then. My diagnostic wasn't that bad then. Guess my friend needs a new HDD. Waned to be sure before telling him. Thanks guys. [11:47] then what happens is fragments of metal from the bearing start to rattle off the disk surface [11:48] hi [11:48] howdy all [11:48] gordonjcp: Yeah, plus sometimes I think I can hear that peculiar sound HDD do when they're beginning to fail. [11:49] Thanks anyway [11:49] i am planing to make a dict dictionary [11:49] and i wonder if i can hoste it in launchpad [11:49] and i wonder if i can host it in launchpad [11:52] I wonder why my $PATH needs to contain /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm (which has only 2 binary files) ... guess someone was lazy to write all that in some script and decided it was better to pollute the $PATH [11:52] max respect [11:53] cousteau: probably lightdm doing the polluting :) [11:53] jrib, I suspect so, yes :/ [11:53] I was wondering why it's needed [11:53] If I type apt-get install appx, twice, does it install a second copy of the application? (I want to install 2 tomcat7's to use on different ports) [11:53] cousteau: same in Raring [11:53] test [11:53] gabriel__, definitely not [11:54] it'll say appx is already installed, and quit [11:54] you should run the program with different settings [11:54] (the program probably has an option to select the port, or to select a settings file) === xdalalala is now known as H154M === sony is now known as Guest48781 === Guest60403 is now known as Galvao_ [11:57] hey, when ubuntu pops up those "whoops, gnome-shell crashed, do you want to send a problem report etc." dialogs and I say yes [11:57] can I look them up later? [11:57] brb [11:58] see the stack trace etc.? [11:59] hmm when I want to switch away from unity, to i.e. fluxbox, what would be the proper way to do so? I was used to modify /etc/inittab and use runlevel 3 there, and use "exec fluxbox" in ~/.xinitrc, but somehow I cant find that inittab file, and I am not sure where else the runlevel could be defined hmm [11:59] mgedmin, I don't use gnome-shell, but xubuntu seems to have a "Show details" button [11:59] show details, yes, that exists [11:59] shevy: don't you use lightdm? Or some other login manager? [12:00] but I mean _after_ I press "Send", can I look up the thing on the Internet? convert it into a bug on Launchpad, or forward it upstream? [12:01] how to restore default hotkeys? [12:02] jrib, ah... hmm I am not sure, let me try to find out what I currently use (I was so used to using just xinitrc alone) [12:03] jrib: oh yeah, I think I use lightdm... "lightdm --session-child 12 15" [12:03] never saw it before btw :) [12:03] shevy: when you first start your computer, what do you see? You see a login screen? [12:04] oh, I configured for auto-login of my user account, but I suppose if I toggle that off, I would get a login screen [12:05] shevy: you don't need to turn it off. Just log out and you'll be taken to the login screen. From there, you can find a gear or circle next to your username. When you click on it, you can choose a different session. If you've installed fluxbox from the repositories, fluxbox should be a choice [12:05] Is any way to do it? [12:05] ah ok, I'll do that soon then, thanks jrib! === [1]MarcelT3 is now known as MarcelT3 [12:24] he [12:25] Is it possible to change grub location ? I installed grub on MBR but when booting it says no OS installed, I had 3 options when deciding where to install grub, One was 'Root' 'Install to superblock of linux' === lolo is now known as Guest82273 [12:28] I switched to lightdm from gdm now, but no change. lightdm extends beyond the bottom of my screen so might not be a good choice. Font problem is unchanged for all users. [12:28] hello [12:28] Laibsch: did you see what I said to you? [12:29] Question: I can press multimedia keys on laptop to increase volume, on/off wifi etc. It works okay, but howto modify? Which package or system implements that plz - coz I'd like to add/modify that default behavior. Thx. [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] Hi Pope [12:29] KeithBob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:30] Touhou11: please don't be silly === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [12:30] seems that multimedia keys are powered by kernel driver [12:30] jrib: about "the symlink"? Well, question is what symlink? [12:31] i touch children [12:31] i touch children [12:31] i touch children [12:31] pope_benadicte: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:31] I already did a dpkg-reconfigure of language-selector-common [12:32] Laibsch: well I'd start by using the gui to change the user's font settings and then see how the system-wide settings differ [12:32] howto grab the last character in a line? (bash) [12:32] I found a very strange problem about the multimedia keys, a Acer Aspire 4750G laptop, Fn+arrow keys don't function well, I have to edit /etc/default/grub to modify the kernel_cmd to make it work [12:32] K350: try #bash [12:33] how do you join a channel named "*" on irc? [12:33] Jikai: ok, thx :) [12:33] jrib: you keep saying "THE symlink", "THE gui" without saying which. === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [12:33] zhufeng: and which userland pkg uses the kernel driver for the multimedia keys? Its not all just kernel functionality, it has to be userland too... [12:34] Laibsch: I never said "the symlink". I don't know what the default gui application is for editing appearances. Did you look for it in your menus? [12:35] (12:42:45) jrib: Laibsch: /etc/fonts/conf.d/ has symlinks that affect fonts. Since they are just symlinks, you simply delete the symlink to disable a setting. There's also some font settings in your lightdm theme which may be carrying over (see /etc/lightdm/*) [12:35] Laibsch: I know what I said... what's your question? [12:36] Yes, I checked all menus I could find, but since I only upgraded to precise now I am not familiar with unity [12:36] Laibsch: there's some gear icon I think by default in the unity bar that has the system settings. Or just try "settings" in dash [12:36] I quoted you because you claimed you never said "the symlink", but see above [12:36] Laibsch: you're taking that out of context. [12:37] Laibsch: there are several symlinks, each corresponding to particular settings. If you want to disable a particular setting you delete the corresponding symlink [12:37] I was explaining to you "in context" that "the symlink" and "the GUI" is too vague for me. [12:37] BBL [12:38] well, then the question obviously is how to find the corresponding symlink. [12:38] Laibsch: ok, by "the symlink" I mean "the symlink that corresponds to the setting you want to turn off" [12:38] I believe something deviates here from a default install (where things are obviously OK). But I don't know how to find that. [12:39] Laibsch: to find the setting you want to turn off, I advise editing the user's settings with the gui tool. Have you created a new user by the way and verified the settings still look strange to you? [12:39] hello [12:39] yes, I created a new user. but when I log in it's XFCE (which is also installed). lightdm does not seem to allow me to change the WM. [12:40] I had chosen Unity2D for the main user when I was still using gdm and that setting stuck. [12:40] But I did try with two other little-used accounts and they have the same strange fonts. [12:40] Laibsch: what happens when you click the circular icon next to the username for the new user? [12:40] let me try, thank you [12:41] no circular icon next to the username, I wonder if this is lightdm after all [12:42] Laibsch: yes, check :) [12:42] I'll use gdm for now and check [12:43] brb === meta_ is now known as Guest69129 === Guest69129 is now known as rowspanner === rowspanner is now known as rowspanz [12:44] Is possible to restore default hotkeys in ubuntu?

I tried installing it with usb stick at first .. but that didn't work .. it kept loading after choosing the language (for more than 90 minutes) So I tried burning the img on a dvd and installing it that way .. but that just did the same thing .. kept showing the loading icon after choosing the language (the computer didn't freeze). Why could this be? Whenever I click "quit install" [12:59] does anyone here know how to setup record my desktop [12:59] infz_: permissions??

I even decided to risk my computer's life and follow directions to do it via the terminal lol. Nothing is working. I'll admit, I'm no techno genius. [13:02] rednecktek, maybe I'm missing some key points that I should know how to do, but everytime I try anything it basically runs me in circles. [13:03] Where can I discuss problems with recent hardware without pae ? [13:04] I have a lot of Pentium M laptops all of which have no PAE extension [13:05] rednecktek, in looking at these drivers, do I need the one that says rpm packagearchive, or debian packagearchive? [13:06] Intel made many pentium M cpus (production 2003-2008 ) of which many had either had pae disabled or had no pae. [13:06] toddnjamie, you're using Ubunut, right? Always the deb file [13:06] Yes, ubuntu. Thank you [13:06] lapion: You can use #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic if its general discussion rather than a specific support question [13:06] Since it's a multifunctional, does that mean I'll have to install drivers for both printer AND scanner?

The Linux kernel utilises free memory to speed up access to files on the harddisk. If a program needs that memory it will be cleared and can be used by the program in question. [14:01] interesting (_) (-) (=] [14:01] real OS, not install on VM [14:01] any help with AMD Radeon 4000M series and quantal? [14:01] OpenSorce, what is your real question ? [14:02] OerHeks, I already asked it... [14:02] Desu, is it a hybrid [14:02] hybrid? [14:02] switchable and/intel [14:02] amd [14:02] why that? [14:03] Not as far as I'm aware. [14:03] OpenSorce, this is a support channel, not for polls like Anybody here play vegastrike? [14:03] if its a switchable/hybrid graphics i got the solution if not im sory but i cant help [14:03] i have a triple boot at home of pinguy os 12 and windows 7, and mac osx mountain lion ( hackintosh) thats the only reason i asked snowshine [14:03] OerHeks, I am well aware of the nature of this channel, thank you [14:04] Hey, can anyone help me? I simply updated ubuntu from the update pop up and I now have lost my graphics driver. [14:04] What do I do? [14:04] Evil_Eric, well what do you suggest? [14:04] rednecktek, I'm back. [14:04] i sujest you stay at 112.04 and not upgrade to 12.10 yet [14:04] OerHeks, had anyone said that they played the game I would have asked further questions, obviously. As they did not I didn't. [14:04] So I need to start the process over? Printer on, or off? [14:05] my ubuntu is 12.10 [14:05] Well, too late on that one... [14:05] ahhh [14:05] well lets see what i can dig up to help you desu [14:05] toddnjamie: don't have to start over. Printer OFF. Is the terminal still open [14:05] Appreciate it [14:05] what was the model [14:06] amd [14:06] 4xxx [14:06] Yes, the terminal is open. [14:06] hexy, were you using a non-free driver before the update? [14:06] AMD 4xxxM (notebook card) [14:06] im not what anyone with any intelligence would suggest as a "hacker" but someone ignorant in computer's would think that i am a "hacker" as my nickname suggests [14:06] OpenSorce: I didn't install any driver manually, it was all installed with the OS. [14:07] hexy, okay... so when you say the driver is "gone" what do you mean? [14:07] if someone needed help with a graphics driver you could always find it online if you happen to know what driver it is called [14:08] IHAXEX1337, planning to point him there shortly :-) [14:08] coolz [14:08] Evil_Eric, looks like any progress will have to stop here for now...the battery just died and I don't have the charger on me. Thanks for trying though :) === MartinS is now known as Guest87441 [14:08] the only thing i am not skilled in on computers is probably just irc stuff [14:09] i just got the solution [14:09] OpenSorce: I mean, I click Details inside system settings and go to Graphics, It says Driver: Unknown [14:09] And Obviously I noticed it because the resolution is huge now. [14:09] Oh? could you tell me and I'll try it when I get the charger? [14:09] IHAXEX1337, irc is ancient code by today's standards. Only the old timers like myself remember working with it I think :-) [14:09] toddnjamie: still there? [14:09] check your pm [14:10] Yes I'm here. The terminal is open.] [14:10] cool [14:10] hexy, okay... do you know what type of graphics card you have? [14:10] i use the XChat [14:10] desu check your pm [14:10] i like using irc thou i dont like all of the new social networking stuff okay well g2g seeya all later ill come online on my phone later lolz [14:10] heys you guys... i have a problem... a 16gb pen drive on which i put ubuntu via usb-creator- ... that thing aint even budging... tried it twice... same result.. tried to mount base image and it works fine... what's would be the problem?? [14:10] toddnjamie: type: ./install.sh [14:10] OpenSorce: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [14:11] OpenSorce: That's from lspci [14:11] It's working again. [14:11] hexy, you're ahead of the game knowing how to use lspci :-) gimme a sec let's see if I can help you... [14:11] Ended with same as before. [14:12] OpenSorce: Thanks. =] [14:12] when i install AMD HD8470 graphic card driver on ubuntu 12.10 ,the ubuntu collapsed. [14:12] sorry ,AMD HD 5470 [14:12] toddnjamie: type: lpstat -p -d [14:12] Evil_Eric, mind assisting me with checking PMs on irssi? I seem to be failing all over myself. [14:13] Using gnome classic in ubuntu 12.10. How do I customize "Indicator Applet Complete"? [14:13] oh [14:13] "no system default destination" [14:13] i have no clue how in irssi [14:13] It seems that whenever a usb drive has been inside the evil stomach of a mac, i have problems reading it on my ubuntu computer. Does mac do something special to usb sticks? [14:13] % th [14:14] I'm sorry. It says lpstat: no destinations added. no system default destination [14:14] ermm... i have a problem... a 16gb pen drive on which i put ubuntu via usb-creator- ... that thing aint even budging... tried it twice... same result.. tried to mount base image and it works fine... what's would be the problem?? [14:14] hexy, I would recommend reinstalling your graphic driver... I'm looking to find the package name for your card now [14:14] the system doesn't even boot from it' [14:14] toddnjamie: ok, let me think about it a minute [14:14] hexy, I use nvidia and have to do it after just about every update [14:15] ok thank you. I'm sorry to be putting you through so much trouble. I'm really computer illterate at times. [14:15] OpenSorce: That's seems like such a pain. [14:15] OpenSorce: The thing is, my graphics is onboard. [14:15] Hello Everyone, On ubuntu 12.04 LTS vmware trouble with promisc mode, it recreate each time /dev/vmnet* after reboot, I tried modify init.d script, but didn't help [14:15] I love ubuntu, and it's sooo user friendly until it comes to something like this, then it's only user friendly if the user knows what he/she's doing..lol [14:15] oh well... Since every buddy is doing their thing.. I guess I'll... I'll ... see myself out.. [14:15] any help thank you [14:16] OpenSorce: apt-cache search driver | grep -i intel Would any of those that come up there help me? [14:16] toddnjamie: I can attest that Windows is no better. :p [14:16] I HATE windows...not to sound so dramatic, but I absolutely hate windows. [14:16] hexy, yeah and in my experience Ubuntu picks up quickly on Intel video and uses the right driver... not heard of this happening with Intel before [14:17] Windows is worse. Why do you think I use Ubuntu? I love it, and I can even maneuver it lol [14:17] (most of the time) [14:17] hexy, I would search online for the right driver package for your card and apt-get install it [14:18] toddnjamie: I really need to see everything in the terminal from the install.sh to the end. Can you paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [14:18] hexy, does lsmod show you have a video driver loaded? [14:18] toddnjamie: then give me the url [14:19] Yes, I will do my best lol. [14:19] OpenSorce: I was just going to use it this second, haha [14:19] Hold on, let me see... [14:19] hexy, from what I can see it looks like it should be using the i915 module but I could be wrong === codemaniac is now known as fego [14:20] rednecktek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370142/ [14:20] See if I did that right. [14:20] OpenSorce: Yes, video is using i915 [14:21] hexy, odd... have you taken a look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [14:21] toddnjamie: type: sudo apt-get -f install === dpac|away is now known as dpac [14:22] OpenSorce: Nope, will try now. What am I looking for exactly? [14:22] ok... [14:22] hexy, look for the line stating which video driver to use [14:23] It responded with, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded [14:23] hexy, have you rebooted since the update? [14:23] 5 times [14:23] hexy, lol gotcha [14:24] hexy, a simple cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver would probably tell you what you need to know [14:24] toddnjamie: you were missing a dependency. let's try the install again: ./install.sh [14:25] oh ok. It's running again. [14:25] ok. [14:25] OpenSorce: Weird, I don't have xorg.conf but I do have xorg.conf.failsafe === qos is now known as qos|away [14:26] Do I need to do the lpstat thing again now? lol [14:26] OpenSorce: And that's what I have there http://pastebin.com/R8kxR58B [14:27] try it and see if it lists a printer [14:27] Nope. [14:28] hexy, what's the date on the failsafe? [14:28] toddnjamie: wife is calling me to eat. let me think and I'll be back [14:28] ok, thank you [14:28] OpenSorce: Date modified? [14:28] Hiah. I've got to upgrade a laptop that's running 11.10. Are there any known problems with upgradeing to 12.04 then to 12.10 with do-release-upgrade ? === rahul is now known as Guest94293 [14:29] hey any one here [14:29] hello to all [14:29] hexy, nevermind. I thought maybe the update renamed it. It's just set to use the Frame Buffer driver though === Guest94293 is now known as gassy [14:30] hexy, I'm sorry but I have to run to the store, I'll be back soon. Maybe someone else in the channel can help you though :-( [14:31] is this help chat? [14:31] OpenSorce: It's the 3rd time I'm asking in this channel, no one knows how to fix it. [14:31] or is it real chat? [14:31] OpenSorce: I'll try to figure something out, thanks though. [14:31] cloudrf: what's the difference? [14:31] hexy what ur problem ? [14:31] whats's [14:31] * [14:31] wanted to shoot the breeze but didnt wanna get yelled at [14:32] gassy: Driver is gone after update. [14:32] Graphics [14:32] graphics ? [14:32] Yes === zoite is now known as Guest32319 [14:33] did you which company [14:33] gassy: What? [14:34] did you check the website of company? [14:34] cloudrf: this is just a support chat channel. try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntuforums [14:35] i figured someone was gunna giveme that [14:35] off topic is a dead channel [14:35] cloudrf: not visited for a while there. But #ubuntuforums is quite busy [14:36] and it's just a chat chennel [14:36] Hello all. :) Can anybody help me with a small bash script - can I concatenate 2 simple .txt files with a bash script? Something like "/path/to/file1.txt" + "/path/to/file2.txt" > "stdout.txt" [14:36] is it possible to run spice on a desktop and connect to it like vnc/nx? [14:36] need a channel for smart likeminded individuals [14:37] is canonical a corperation? [14:37] g_seek: you can use the cat command [14:37] gassy: I did, they linked me here http://intellinuxgraphics.org [14:37] g_seek: cat /path/to/file1.txt /path/to/file2.txt >> "stdout.txt" [14:37] yes, cat works, will try [14:37] g_seek: cat file1 file2 > combined [14:38] i want to run a script when any usb device is plugged in. I added a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ named 90-local.rules that contains SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usbhook". I restarted udev, but if i plug any usb pen nothing happens. Why? [14:38] Im trying to remove postgres from my server but apt-get remove --purge doesnt remove postgres' init script ? [14:38] anyone idea why ? [14:38] so did you select your graphics driver and install it? [14:39] toddnjamie: please pastebin the output of the last install [14:39] cloudrf: it's a private company [14:39] gassy: The problem is... It was perfectly fine before the update, driver was installed with the OS. So why do I have to install the driver manually now? === qos|away is now known as qos [14:39] !canonical | cloudrf [14:39] cloudrf: Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/ [14:42] It works great! Thank you very much fego and llutz! :D Have a great day [14:42] hi [14:42] is there something like backports for ubuntu? [14:42] g_seek: no problem :) [14:42] !backports [14:42] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [14:42] i'm on 12.04/precise and want g++-4.7 [14:42] is the old driver version compatible with the updated ubuntu if not it requires a manual update i guess [14:43] I am having issues trying to automount a cifs remote drive [14:43] so I have mounted it successfully and added to fstab and use mount -a and everything works great [14:43] gassy: I didn't update the distro, just a simple update. [14:43] but when i reboot the system I still have to mount -a [14:44] nixfreak: whats your fstab entry for the share? [14:44] But I assume you are correct, mind helping me installing the driver, I'm not too familiar with installing drivers on linux. [14:45] wait till any operator comes online they might have a solution [14:45] ./ //192,168.12.4/share/ /share username=user,password=password [14:45] sorry for the comma but that is what I have [14:45] what kind of suffix do file names in /etc/apt/preferences.d need to have, if any? [14:46] I tried nowait and _netdev as options also dr_willis [14:46] nixfreak: hmm.. examples i find online have more 'fields' in them.. //192.168.44.100/share /path_to/mount cifs guest,_netdev 0 0 [14:47] yeah guest does not work [14:47] nixfreak: its possible the server is just slow so the mounting is timing out. [14:47] sambaaaa ewww [14:47] gassy: I don't know any operators.. [14:47] You could put a command in /etc/rc.local to mount the share. but thats a bit of a dirty work around [14:47] Is there a way to monitor gconf/dconf for key/value changes so I can make a change in the GUI and then record that change so I can make the same change using gconftool? [14:47] mag]: ? [14:48] hexy wait till any one o em comes [14:48] of* [14:48] dr_willis I agree , but how can I slow the mount down ? === bdi is now known as diverdude [14:48] nixfreak: thats what the _netdev option is supposed to do [14:49] gassy: And how would I know if any of them are online? [14:49] nixfreak: from what im googling. ;) [14:49] dr_willis, what do i do if i can't find g++ 4.7 there? it is present in quantal [14:50] you on xchat right ..operators have a green dot before their names [14:50] TomyLobo: ppa, or source i guess.. [14:50] and did you google for the solution [14:50] ? [14:50] gassy: I did google for a solution, and no I'm not on xchat, though it's nice you assume everyone here is on xchat haha [14:50] dr_willis _netdev is depreciated [14:51] nixfreak: just googling examples. ;) [14:51] of course [14:51] ok if you are on any text based irc client it will be a @ [14:51] gassy: And I didn't find a solution since I don't really know how to word my problem correctly. [14:51] Ubuntu just has a lot of ways to mount something [14:51] gassy: people don't op-up unless theres an issue that needs attention. Also, they aren't all-knowing. [14:52] Okay, if I'm seeing this correctly, I see FloodBot1 2 and 3 online. [14:52] gassy: [14:52] "graphics driver lost after ubuntu update" [14:52] somthing like that [14:52] gassy: Exactly what I've tried. [14:52] And nothing. [14:53] !floodbots [14:53] FloodBot1,2,3, and 4 are all bots, please direct your questions to the channel. [14:53] gassy: They all help the ones who have installed their drivers manually, but don't help the automatically installed ones, which is my case. [14:53] nixfreak: notice some examples of mounting cifs that use the 'auto' option also.. perhaps the default for them is noauto (that would be weird) [14:56] dr_willis oh "the default is noauto" fstab says that auto is default hmm [14:56] hi, can someone please help me . i been looking all over to get my Screen to stay on and not turn dark after 10 sec- i went to (brightness and Lock) and changes everything off.... and still the screen turn black . and then i tried "Caffeine" and disabled the screen saver . please help [14:56] I moved a server onto my lan and it took over people's devices that asked for a dhcp lease. I killed dhcpd, but now I wawnt to chkconfig it off. How can I do that in ubuntu? [14:56] I could not find a init.d file that started it [14:56] nixfreak: i cant find anything that says the default is no auto.. i just saw a bunch of examples that included auto... [14:56] I could not find an rc.d file that started it. [14:56] nixfreak: so that may not be it. [14:57] is it advisable to install g++ 4.7 from quantal into precise? [14:57] It was a child of init though. [14:57] There must be some way to make it not start up, even on ubuntu, right? [14:57] TomyLobo: you dont want to mix packages from differnt releases [14:57] same degree of difficulties as squeeze/wheezy? [14:57] lol this is frustrating [14:58] the only way its working right now is S99 [14:58] its a nasty hack [14:58] I did a `find /etc/ -name *dhcpd*` and it found these: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf /etc/apparmor.d/cache/usr.sbin.dhcpd /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.dhcpd [14:58] I want to turn off dhcpd so it doesn't start next time. [14:58] ? [14:59] Is there a way to do that in ubuntu somehow? [14:59] If so, how can it be done perminantly? [14:59] dr_willis, which problems would arise? [14:59] can anyone suggest something ? [15:00] if its handled by upstart jgspratt it should have an /etc/init/servicename.conf you could rename [15:00] outofhand: have you tried unplugging it? does a "disconnected cable" thing appear? [15:00] TomyLobo: it could start pulling in other packages that will break the system [15:01] dr_willis: I am sorry, there is no /etc/init/dhcpd.conf file. [15:01] dr_willis: do you know if maybe it is part of networking? [15:01] and if so, how to disable dhcpd without disabling networking? [15:01] jgspratt : yes i have unpluged - its the screen going to sleep mode [15:01] Oh, I see. [15:02] If I have a terminal running program and can't see it. How would I be able to see it by using another terminal? (via ssh) thats why i ask this. [15:02] dr_willis, like? [15:02] Meway: You should start it under screen [15:02] Meway: or tmux [15:02] tmux++ [15:02] TomyLobo: like.. totally failing to boot.. You DONT want to mix packages from differnt releases.. if you do - dont expect any support from here. [15:02] ^_^ [15:03] no i mean like which packages? [15:03] TomyLobo: no idea. [15:03] loke: so if I have server-bla1 running and it is running. How would I go from an empty terminal to seeing that programs output without closing it? [15:03] Im not even sure how you would install gcc from a newer release in an old release. [15:03] Meway: You can't. Unless the program was started under screen or tmux [15:03] I cant believe no one can help with this ..... [15:04] loke: screen is terminal? [15:04] !screen [15:04] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [15:04] Meway: No. screen is a program that provides the functionality you seek [15:04] Meway: tmux is also such a program, which is newer, better but not as commonly available [15:04] loke: does it cost? [15:05] Meway: no [15:05] Meway: just apt-get install it [15:05] dr_willis, afaict, it will only update libgcc1 [15:05] Meway: what I do is this: find a machine that has tmux on it, build up a multi-leveled tmux with sessions into each of the servers I want and then connect to that tmux every time [15:05] also libgomp1 and libitm1 === om26er_ is now known as om26er [15:05] for convenience, use tmuxinator to define your connections and distribute the public ssh key of your tmux host to all the clients. [15:06] jgspratt: ouch. I have started to dislike the spreading ofpublich ssh keys. It's a nightmare to manage and keep secure [15:06] jgspratt: If you have more than a handful of machines, you should be using Kerberos [15:06] loke: ah: I have a puppet for you! [15:07] jgspratt: Kerberos is what provides happieness :-) [15:08] putos [15:08] link tmux? [15:09] is ubuntu gpl compliant?? [15:09] Meway: Did you even try to google? It's the first hit. [15:11] l, [15:11] asshole1: ... /nick bunghole .... [15:11] tg [15:11] loke: no sorry lol [15:12] how do i add a repository in a way that i need to write apt-get install package/repo [15:14] TomyLobo, do you mean a PPA or a repository that needs to be enabled in the package manager/sources.list [15:15] ? [15:24] Hi folks, I want a particular script to run before a system reboots, between the user hitting init 6, typing reboot, or going to reboot in the guy, where can i put such a script? [15:25] GUI** [15:25] use cron [15:25] at reboot [15:26] lol @ topic in #2,000 === serafinm is now known as MikeUTM [15:26] cron allows you to do something at reboot? [15:27] awesome will check it out [15:31] BluesKaj, i figured it out. i misspelled something :) [15:32] Hi [15:32] dsfdasfasd [15:32] sdahfadsñkldags [15:32] dsfhasdklfa === david is now known as Guest4544 [15:35] Shoot, unapodo left before I got the chance to tell him his keyboard was working. [15:35] dr_willis, upgrading cpp, g++, gcc, libgcc1, libgomp1, libquadmath0, libstdc++6 from 4.6.3-1ubuntu5 to 4.7.2-2ubuntu1; replacing {cpp,gcc,g++}-4.6, gcc-4.6-base, libstdc++6-4.6-dev by their 4.7 equivalents; installing libitm1 4.7.2-2ubuntu1 [15:35] for some reason,ive just pressed something but I dont know what, ive lost the surround of my firefox, and terminal, basically the top navigation/bottom have totally dissapeared.any idea how to restore these? ive restarted them but same problem so not sure what ive done.. [15:35] testing [15:35] glückwunsch [15:35] donspaulding, I thought we were all just ignoring the obvious troll :-P [15:35] doesn't sound like it would break anything :) [15:36] hexy, how's your issue coming along? [15:36] OpenSorce: Horrible. [15:36] Not getting anywhere. [15:37] hexy oh my... [15:37] hexy, so have we identified the driver and tried re-installing it? [15:38] dr_willis, i should at least end up with a working apt :) [15:38] OpenSorce: We identified it, but didn't try reinstalling it. [15:38] oh yeah [15:38] of course [15:39] helloooo [15:39] dfg [15:39] hexy, I would try that first... removing then installing the driver [15:40] I don't know how to it. [15:40] Mind helping me out here? [15:40] hexy, if that doesn't work I would say start looking for the error message [15:40] hexy sure, do you know the name of the driver/package? [15:41] testing [15:41] OpenSorce: Uhmm.. not sure what you mean. [15:41] hexy, step one should be sudo apt-get remove then sudo apt-get install ... so we need to find out the name of the driver package [15:42] what flag do I have to give to g++ to sow all compile errors?

[16:58] gaby, so close all other instances of apt, package manager etc, or wait til a current install is finished then close [16:58] gaby, you did use *sudo* , correct? [16:59] bazhang : iam not able to download any thing as i dont have a space for 0MB [16:59] toddnjamie, whats the exact add ppa command you used [16:59] bazhang: correct - i did use sudo [16:59] gaby, so close all other instances of apt [17:00] ok, it did all that...it said it's done reading package lists. I typoed when I typed it in. Remember: 16 hours straight here. I need a break lol..

It's doing the upgrade right now. [17:16] I have yet another question. When I'm doing the sudo apt-get install, do I type both packages in same command, or do them separately? [17:16] toddnjamie, both together [17:17] ok thank you so much...you've been very patient with my stupidity and I appreciate it. I'm trying it all right now.

[17:25] right now, it's still finishing the upgrade, I just wanted to see where I would have to go after this. [17:25] toddnjamie, yes, you need to then give the command to install those two packages [17:25] hello [17:26] sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-common-3.70 cnijfilter-common-3.60, right? [17:26] he [17:26] correct toddnjamie [17:26] again, unable to locate package. [17:26] Just did it.

[17:35] Ian_Corne, the run command is alt+f2 , not the terminal [17:35] toddnjamie, what happens when you type apt-cache search cnijfilter [17:35] doesn't work, it proposes jockey-text [17:35] nothing. [17:36] this is a novice question but, if i run the live system of ubuntu, it installs automatically the nvidia (original) drivers with 3d acceleration ? or how it is managed ? === DrewWayne is now known as Wayne [17:36] !who | Ian_Corne [17:36] Ian_Corne: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[17:38] maybe Mint ? [17:38] Ian_Corne, strange things going on with gnome/unity ... losing touch [17:39] BluesKaj: yeah, they're just regrouping I guess, but it seems it would be beter suited to be in the software center [17:40] Hello. 12.10 with both Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed. The screen keeps blanking after ~5min inactivity. The fora responses to this problem are unhelpful. I have the power settings and brightness / screensaver set to never.

I just type sudo apt-get install Gnome-Tweak-Tool. How do i start det program?! :O [17:43] I got ubuntu 12.10 btw. [17:43] mmh, nobody knows ? or nobody reads me ? :S [17:44] are nvidia drivers supported in ubuntu ? [17:44] hello [17:44] wald0: people will answer if they know it, otherwise, folks stay silent [17:44] hi, [17:44] So, I have been tinkering around with windows/dos for 20 years and I finally got curious enough to try ubuntu yesterday. Very interesting but I'm still very lost [17:44] Ian_Corne, I wasn't suggesting it was , merely pointing out there seem to be a lot of changes in ubuntu , that we don't see in kubuntu [17:45] ChogyDan: i thought that was a very common question... [17:45] any one see mu ques [17:45] wald0: you want to know how to install nvidia drivers in a live install? [17:45] i have an ubuntu server which has autoupgraded to 3.2.0-33 and I would like to rollback to 3.2.0-29 and freeze server in that "version 29", how can i do that? [17:45] http://pastebin.com/D2fNr3ae [17:45] ChogyDan: well, more like if the privative nvidia drivers run "out of the box" (by some automatic install) in live mode [17:46] uskerine: quick and dirty, just remove the linux meta packages. You won't get anymore updates [17:46] pejamus, do you have an issue or questions ? [17:47] ChogyDan, sorry but I do not know how to remove the linux emta packages. :( [17:47] pejamus: why you are lost ? So much new things to learn ? :) [17:47] uskerine: very simple actually. Just remove the linux packages you don't want, and the meta packages will get removed as a side affect. ie, just remove 3.2.0-33 and make sure you still have 3.2.0-29 installed [17:48] actually, I installed the new version of steam on ubuntu. I didn't know I hate to be registered in the beta. Now I want to delete Steam, but don't know how. [17:48] ChogyDan, will that ensure that no new 3.2.0-3x packages will be installed? [17:48] had* [17:48] Hey guys! I just type sudo apt-get install Gnome-Tweak-Tool. How do i start det program?! :O [17:48] Let me ask again, now with more info [17:48] and yes... this is a completely foreign territory to me [17:49] hello [17:49] uskerine: in a manner of speaking, yes. Once you break the update behavior, it won't come back unless you install it again [17:49] ok, let's try that then === friskd_ is now known as friskd [17:49] kernan: open your menu in the upper left, and start to type/search for it [17:49] wald0: I suspect the answer is no, unless you use a live usb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/69432/livecd-with-nvidia-binary-drivers [17:50] ß [17:50] ChogyDan so i just apt-get remove linux-headers-3.2.0-32, linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic, linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic [17:50] ? [17:50] ChogyDan: thx [17:50] hello all [17:51] uskerine: well, maybe, is that really the package names? Also, aren't you worried about 33, not 32? [17:51] I want to freeze it in 29 [17:51] i have 31,32 and 33 [17:51] How long should a fsck last on a 6TB ext4 volume with lots of hard links (ie a backup disk) [17:51] I am following instructions: when i run "chroot /target /bin/bash' i get the error ='cannot change root directory to /target: no such file or directory" why am i getting this error, should target be something???? [17:52] MenschMaschine: quite a long time, I'd say [17:52] hello, i have a bit of problems with my sound card driver i suppose. when i record or make a skype call the voice sound wired. i know that its drivers fault because i tried another mic and in windows it worked well. how can i install the adequate driver for my card. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370615/ . ps. in windows i used a realtek hd driver but ubuntu installs the wrong driver i think. [17:53] uskerine: yeah, that is how you do it. Those are the correct versions. Just do that for all three versions, 31, 32, 33, and you will be done. It will stay on 29 still the next major upgrade [17:53] Mats: "/target" stands for the directory you want to chroot to,ie where you mounted a different install or whatever [17:53] gordonjcp: I’ve waited 96 hours before interrupting it, as i’d thought it might have silently crashed. So longer than that? [17:53] Mats: so yes, target should be something [17:54] llutz: is there a way to check the current root [17:55] !redmine [17:55] is there a way to check the current root? [17:55] is there any way to do a silent version upgrade? it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue [17:56] causative: typically it should do that. I think it is a bug if it doesn't [17:56] Mats: mount/df should tell [17:56] it should do what, be silent? [17:57] does updating the kernel alsoo mean a dist-upgrade as well? [17:57] well I've gotten several prompts [17:57] upgrading to 12.04 [17:57] it should have been done half an hour ago [17:57] instead it has half an hour to go, plus I have to sit here [17:57] to keep it from stopping [17:57] causative: well, not ask questions. [17:57] TY [17:57] TY [17:57] well it does anyway so what can I do about that [17:58] maybe for the next upgrade since this is only to 12.04 [17:58] so there will be another to 12.10 [17:59] I don't remember exactly which modules were asking me questions [17:59] emacs-speak was the first === ericab_away is now known as ericab [17:59] !enter [17:59] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:00] MenschMaschine: quite possibly, yes [18:00] MenschMaschine: is there any progress indication? Does the drive show any signs of activity? [18:00] I asked my question on one line...after that is just discussing it [18:01] Hey, how do i install my nvidia drives?! [18:01] is there any way to do a silent version upgrade? it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue [18:02] causative: it is just good to keep your responses to a single line as well, so other support can happen in this chat as well [18:02] I say things when I think of them, didn't think of everything at once [18:03] here how it does recored the sound for me. http://speedy.sh/9QsSh/2012-11-19-185942.ogg [18:04] Hi, I did something wrong with the partitioning while installing 12.04 some weeks ago.. I gave / 25gb and /home 120gb. /home is not being used, and it is mounted at /media. Now the / partition is full and I have 120 gb unused. How can I mount the right partition without breaking anything? [18:04] is there any way to do a silent version upgrade? it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue. I'm upgrading to 12.04 so will soon do another upgrade to 12.10. I don't remember every package that was prompting me, but emacs-speak was one of them [18:04] Hm, a bit unclear that one.. lol [18:05] hello, unity is not loading with fglrx driver ? is there a workaround for this problem ? [18:06] mee_: try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic && sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)-generic [18:07] ChogyDan, removing 3x packages worked fine, now I am again in 29 and my digium card driver -which was compiled ad-hoc for 29- works fine [18:07] i will try, thanks [18:07] ChogyDan, thanks a lot [18:07] uskerine: yw [18:07] ItsAllGoneWierd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [18:08] llutz: thx! :) [18:08] ciao [18:08] so emacspeak is one of them, a package I don't really need so I can just remove it [18:09] but that isn't the worst of them since it only prompted me at the beginning and the end [18:10] <|strider|> Hi how to install 12.04 lts and make the /boot partition on a flash usb drive ? === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR [18:11] <|strider|> anyone did that ?

[18:12] Hello. What is the best way to upgrade Ubuntu on remote computer? I have 11.04 with TeamViewer there now, and want to upgrade to 12.04, but I think it will remove TeamViewer on upgrade, right? [18:12] alright here's another prompt that I remember getting before [18:13] "what would you like to do about menu.lst?" options are to keep the local version currently installed, install the new version, or do some investigation and diffing [18:13] I remember that message appearing right in the middle of the installation stopping everything [18:13] how can I suppress it in the future? [18:14] /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:14] Here is my issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370658/ === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [18:16] lonewulf85: you need to install the -dev versions of those packages I believe [18:16] ChogyDan: I will try that and see if it helps. Thanks [18:17] |strider|: why do you want to do that? seems risky do put /boot on random drives [18:17] <|strider|> :) ChogyDan well, no risk no reward :) [18:17] what's the easiest and quickest way to make ubuntu a lot faster and smoother. I don't care for the heavy gui and all that fluff, my computer is ancient and I have to wait like 30 seconds in between commands [18:17] Anyone? What is the best way to Upgrade Ubuntu on remote computer behind NAT? [18:18] <|strider|> I have a OpenSuSE install with boot on that same device. [18:18] <|strider|> My problem is far more complex and I am starting to use the 12.04 LTs as a reference install [18:18] <|strider|> I actu7ally like Unity [18:18] <|strider|> So the idea is this, first install 12.04 and the boot on usb flash [18:18] |strider|: if a clean install, I would just use the manual partitioner to setup /boot, and see what happens [18:19] <|strider|> ChogyDan I just did that and ... I boot from flash directly to a grub rescue prompt ?!?! [18:19] my processor is running at 100% and I don't know why, what can I do? [18:19] i run ubuntu on ufds for a long time [18:19] <|strider|> I made some ls to investigate and everything seems to be in place. [18:20] <|strider|> ChogyDan Also the partition I used on the flash is a Bootable ext3 primary partition ... nothing there to make a wrong boot device?! [18:20] ChogyDan: The only development package that I can find that is not installed right now is libgnome2.0 cli dev do you think that would help? [18:21] |strider|: that means it didn't work. I dunno, maybe try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition [18:21] <|strider|> Anyone Is there a reason for ubuntu installer to dislike a usb flash for /boot ? [18:22] <|strider|> Also I tried to make the bootloader both on /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 the disk and the disk partition. ... same result . [18:22] does grub care where the partition is? maybe it can't see it [18:22] <|strider|> I really think that since Grub2 Problem on boot have Multiplied by 100 X ! [18:23] <|strider|> Grub 2 is a Real Problem on many distros! [18:23] Hey! I have had ubuntu on my nexus 7 for some days, but want to get back to regular android. I followed the steps on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation#Returning_your_Nexus_7_to_Stock_Android But I can't get it to work [18:23] you don't need grub for multibooting [18:23] <|strider|> Malimbar ... Grubn install detects the partitions with no problem [18:24] I re ran the install command and got this consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. any ideas? [18:24] <|strider|> So at least the installer "see's" the partitions ... [18:24] <|strider|> By the way this did not happen to me on the previous LTS installs ? [18:24] <|strider|> ?! [18:25] lonewulf85: erm, did you install libglib2.0-dev? [18:25] I donw know how to "place your machine into fastboot mode". [18:25] ChogyDan: my synaptics says I already have it installed.

[18:36] ChogyDan: thanks, I will check. Also, I have 11.04, is there a way to upgrede directly to 12.04, or I have to go through 11.10 first? [18:36] <|strider|> Sorry for the question but I am newb to Ubuntu === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [18:37] I'm trying to install vmware player on ubuntu but I'm running into some problems [18:37] shvchk: there is only 10.04->12.04 and 11.10->12.04, so you do have to go through === jonas_ is now known as Guest2308 [18:37] ChogyDan: thanks [18:38] <|strider|> so ChogyDan no way to go from 11.10 to 12.04 right ? [18:38] america/win 19 [18:38] ww [18:38] |strider|: ? of course there is. I don't follow [18:39] |strider| why? He said there is 11.10->12.04. Mb you mean 10.10? [18:39] |strider|, what version of Ubuntu are you actually on>? [18:39] <|strider|> ChogyDan I think i can install 11.04 with no problem on this laptop ... so I would like to know if I can upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 ... [18:40] is there command that executes given script for file motification events? [18:40] |strider|, 11.04 -> 12.04 can't be done directly, you'd have to upgrade to 11.10 first. Just install 12.04 or 11.10 [18:40] inotify? [18:40] <|strider|> I have currently no Ubuntu installed only OpenSuSE 11.4, I want to install 12.04 [18:40] <|strider|> OK! [18:40] please does anyone have any idea of how i can browse anonymously for free? [18:40] <|strider|> there you go good folks ! [18:40] |strider|, you can install 12.04 directly on, you know... [18:40] |strider|: so just do an install of 12.04 [18:41] <|strider|> I am certain that What I want done is possible in 11.04 .. so 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 ! [18:41] <|strider|> :) === Therstrium_ is now known as Therstrium [18:41] |strider|, why do the extra work? [18:41] |strider|, 12.04 is the latest, you don't have to install Older and upgrade to newer :/ [18:41] <|strider|> Because 12.04 does not install /boot on a usb flash drive. [18:41] and you want to do this why? [18:41] <|strider|> So I have to resort to the upgrade way ... [18:42] <|strider|> Because I need many primary partitions on my hd ... [18:42] <|strider|> Encryption requirements [18:42] Does anyone know if you can use netbootin to format a hard drive and load a copy of ubuntu onto said hard drive? [18:42] <|strider|> I use luks encription on many partitions, namelly /, /home and swap [18:42] |strider|, you didnt explain why you need /boot off the drive [18:42] i wondered why i couldn't boot on lvm under xen dom0 but the reason is quite simple: whole /dev/sda hard disk is missing... no wonder it can't find partitions [18:42] |strider|, /boot from off of the hard drive makes life very hard. [18:43] <|strider|> Another Security Measure [18:43] doesn't count. [18:43] its not an actual security measure :p [18:43] <|strider|> No bootloader and luks headers ... no decoding of the partitions ... [18:43] no bootloader, no system. [18:43] <|strider|> Also :) [18:43] <|strider|> Another Advantage [18:43] what happens when you lose the USB stick [18:43] and stop using enter every line :P [18:43] <|strider|> No problem! [18:43] in the failing initramfs shell the /dev/sr0 is present and can be read [18:44] <|strider|> No problem Whatsoever ... just a Re.install ... [18:44] ... right... [18:44] your setup's not logical, so i'm going to go back to fixing my netbook,.

Depends on what usage you are using [18:45] |strider|: make sure you have backups ;) [18:45] <|strider|> And I take serios encryption measures, due t an unfortunate event in the past.

[18:47] if anyone has any experience using xen under ubuntu, i'd really like to hear what could cause physical drives to go missing under dom0? [18:47] Xard: Hardware issues. [18:47] ChogyDan, can i use software center to install it? [18:48] !tor | babyswizz i dunno, maybe this will show something [18:48] babyswizz i dunno, maybe this will show something: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [18:48] <|strider|> encrypted vm's are a very good solution shvchk, a very good solution if my machine was a bit more "rsponsive", it is adual-athlon, so not that good for VBox or vmware [18:48] bekks: hardware issues like? the drives work just fine under normal kernel [18:48] Is is possible to print through Wine? The available drivers for my printer don't work on Ubuntu 12.04. [18:49] Mailman: I don't think so. Maybe through virtualbox [18:49] ChogyDan, thanks a bunch [18:49] Xard: Do you have any messages in dmesg pointing to that issue? [18:50] bekks: i'm just wading through the logs at the moment [18:50] <|strider|> But i really find it very very bizare that the installer recognizes the partition of the flash drive and does not boot after install. [18:50] anyone else try the netflix ubuntu app? [18:51] bekks: i already had a really stupid problem with uefi boot causing xen to crash before reaching dom0 ;< [18:51] th3pun15h3r: I heard about it [18:51] after upgrading to 12.04 my wireless has stopped working... I believe I was using the ath9k module for it previously.

[18:53] causative: try: sudo lshw -C networking see if a driver is loaded [18:54] ChogyDan, no results [18:54] |strider|: I think you need to have the same boot device that you boot off of that you had setup grub onto [18:54] ubuntu is inlow graphic mode (witch is new for me because usually works fine) how can I solve this [18:55] zvacet: what graphics card? === dpac is now known as dpac|away [18:55] causative: sudo lshw -C network [18:55] ChogyDan: ATI HD 3200 [18:55] ChogyDan, I did that and got no results [18:55] so, /var/log/xen/ seems to be empty and no trace of logs elsewhere, and why there would be as dom0 cannot find / mount / write to /var/log [18:56] ChogyDan: but it works just fine until today ( and yes I did some stuff) [18:56] causative: ok. I posted the wrong command earlier. I thought that was the issue. [18:56] zvacet: well, you should probably describe what you did, as best you can, and in one line [18:57] <|strider|> ChogyDan I had exactly that, choose on install /dev/sdc and also place bootloader on /ev/sdc [18:57] HI there [18:57] oh sorry it was the issue, with the revised command I did get some results [18:57] I am on 12.04 [18:57] well this sucks. see that bit on the right sicking out? this page isn't doesn't support the firefox web browser. http://i49.tinypic.com/20kvfib.jpg [18:57] there's the ethernet interface and then there's a network that is listed as UNCLAIMED [18:57] and have a USB external HDD [18:57] what is the command to see what is running on your box? [18:57] so I think that's probably the wireless interface [18:58] 1 minute let me transfer it to this computer so I can pastebin it [18:58] but ubuntu doesn't detect it [18:58] ChogyDan: I installed xubuntu desktop following http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu [18:58] can anyone help? [18:58] <|strider|> To be precise: I choose /boot to go to /dev/sdc1 (flash) and mount that has /boot, and choose the option of placing bootloader on /dev/sdc, and second attempt /dev/sdc1 [18:58] causative: yeah, that's an issue [18:59] what is the command to see what is running on your box? [18:59] ChogyDan : after coming back to ubuntu graphic doesn´t worl properlly [18:59] zvacet: make sure that linux-headers-generic is installed, and try reinstalling your graphics drivers [19:00] Hey guys when I try to install ubuntu I get a "panic occured, switching back to text console" [19:00] ChogyDan: brb [19:00] Unable to get my external HDD working on ubuntu 12.04, tried googling, but didn't help.

Do I need to update anything else [19:02] . [19:02] what is the command to see what is running on your box? [19:02] ChogyDan : headers where installed so I just reinstalled radeon driver [19:02] ChogyDan, so is this telling me I don't have the driver for it? maybe the driver was removed as part of the upgrade? [19:03] causative: that's broadcom, not ath9k. Right? [19:04] I'm working on an ubu server based portable game thing, details not important [19:04] Hey guys. I have been messing around with python and I installed some modules (requests, json, etc). My computer died unexpectedly and now it is telling me the modules don't exist. I am guess that I lost some files. Is there any way to make sure I didn't lose any crucial system files? [19:04] causative: I think so. I would look into installing broadcom drivers. I don't know about them; they seem to be a pain for folks [19:04] when ubuntu boots, it sits at a blank screen with a blinking cursor for an insufferably long time and won't tell me what it's doing [19:04] I'm trying to get a program running and am told to "Then add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: [19:04] deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main " how do i go about this [19:04] how do I get a more verbose boot? [19:04] ChogyDan, you're right. So I must have had broadcom drivers previously [19:04] NICK c0d3m0nk3y === c0dr is now known as c0d3m0nk3y [19:04] would the upgrade have deleted them, or if not how could I re-enable them? [19:04] babyswizz: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add that whole line to the end [19:05] ChogyDan: ? [19:05] zvacet: did it work? try: dkms status [19:06] ChogyDan: so I should reboot now? === c0d3m0nk3y is now known as c0dr [19:07] causative: it doubt the upgrade deleted them, but you have a new kernel. Maybe you just need to reinstall them since they aren't opensource. I don't know about broadcom stuff. Try installing linux-headers-generic, and see if you can install them in software sources (if you are running 12.10) [19:07] ChogyDan : also I don´t see xorg.conf in etc/X11 [19:07] zvacet: yeah, give it a go [19:07] installing anything over the network right now is a little problematic [19:07] I guess I could set that up [19:08] ChogyDan: I´m afraid we will speak to each other again [19:08] but is there any way to maybe download the module onto a USB and install from there? [19:08] zvacet: dkms status that will actually tell you if the driver is installed [19:09] causative: have you tried booting from an old kernel? that might work. And sorry, I have NO experience with broadcom. I'm just give general hints based on my exprience with nvidia drivers [19:09] ChogyDan, problem is now solved [19:09] I tried modprobe b43 and as luck would have it that worked [19:10] ok, I have ntp.conf configured, i have traffic going out and comming back to the server asking for ntp updates. the damn box is just not setting the new date. [19:10] so all I have to do now is add b43 to /etc/modules right [19:10] Hey guys, when I try to install ubuntu I get a "panic occured, switching back to text console" and then it just sits there [19:10] causative: lol, ok. Ya, something like that. [19:10] this is a 12.04 server. i also have a 10.04 server on the same host doing the exact same thing [19:10] thanks ChogyDan [19:11] if i do ntpdate servername. it works but..that is not the same thing as ntp service. [19:11] this is rediculas. [19:11] grendal_prime: Whats the difference between the server time and the current real time? [19:12] 10 hours [19:12] grendal_prime: Since that is far more than 1 hour, it will take a few days until that difference is eliminated. [19:13] ? [19:13] serioiusly [19:13] i have reset it several times..it quickly jumps out of sync. [19:14] grendal_prime: Seriously. Thats how ntp works. It will NOT adjust the ntp drift to fir thos large difference. [19:14] *to fit those large differences. [19:14] ok..thats what i always though but ive asked this question before and was told...that was bs [19:15] so run ntpdate..get it close..then run ntp service. [19:15] grendal_prime: And of course you forgot to delete the ntp.drift file? :) [19:16] I'm trying to install a program and am asked to run a command "apt-get update" as root. what do i do? [19:16] of course i did because ive never had to do any of this before [19:16] oh my [19:16] =X [19:16] babyswizz: Run that. It will fetch package update information from the official repos. [19:16] so delete the drift file before restarting service, or...what would be the order of execution on this. [19:17] grendal_prime: Thats what caused the jumps you experienced :) [19:17] hi, I've done the updates on ubuntu 12.10 and now my dash and status bar have both disappeared [19:17] grendal_prime: stop ntp service, delete the drift, adjust using ntpdate, restart ntp service [19:17] babyswizz, use "sudo apt-get update " [19:17] no sure what happened [19:17] stop ntp, kill the drift, run ntpdate, strart service [19:17] Hello, i'm having trouble setting up my wifi on elementaryOS (based on ubuntu 10.10) [19:17] my card is a bcm 4312 (14e4:4315) [19:17] got it thanks guys, sorry for the colorfull language ive just been beating this up off and on for a long time now.

[19:27] Hey guys...so I just removed python to get rid of some errors it was throwing me from my computer shutting off....then my computer (While i was away) started removing literally all of my programs...I no longer have gnome and apt-get wont work [19:27] I cant back my data up [19:27] What do I do?

[19:33] hello, how can I make bootable usb stick with ubuntu 12.10 on windows? [19:33] unetbootin supports only 12.04 version of ubuntu [19:34] arg im still stuck with no sound [19:34] and it won't work, my card is bcm4312, i needed the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [19:34] arnsa: just open unetbootin and select the 12.10 iso [19:34] Hello [19:34] xangua but unetbootin supports only up to 12.04 version [19:34] is it still okay? [19:34] xangua, there is as much difference between ubuntu and elementary than between ubuntu and kubuntu, so now lets just fix my problem, which isn't related to ubuntu (it was doing the same thing on debian) [19:35] I'm having an issue getting a black screen after installing 12.10 [19:35] arnsa: did you already download 12.10¿ did you already open unetbootin and manualy select the 12.10 iso¿ [19:35] hi [19:35] xangua on the settings I can only choose versions of ubuntu which are up to 12.04 [19:35] I can't figure out how to get nomodeset [19:35] so i have audio devices showing up under lspci but not under arecord -l and my sound options show "Dummy Output" [19:36] I was able to access the grub menu by holding down the shift key just as the screen went black. The instructions I read said to change to nomodeset, but no such menu appears. All I get is Ubuntu, Ubuntu in recovery mode, and other options having to do with Mac OSX. I chose recovery mode, and again, there's no option for nomodeset. I try the failsafe for graphics recovery, then return when Yes is highlighted. [19:36] Did anyone try the new Netflix solution? We got it to work on my buddies Ubuntu install, but now it opens Firefox in Wine each time you try to do anything with Firefox? [19:36] Is the onboard AMD F2 A6 graphics supported by ubuntu?

Nvidia graphics on this laptop is screwed up [19:44] I was able to install it, but not get past the black screen. [19:45] it said to hold down shift at the black screen to get the grub menu [19:45] rlinsurf, i do not own a mac, but did you try the nomodeset option ? [19:45] highlight the first entry and change quiet splash to nomodeset [19:45] right [19:45] that's what I'm trying to do [19:46] but the grub menu only says "Ubuntu" and Recovery mode [19:46] I thought it was esc to set boot options [19:46] no options to change anything to nomodeset [19:46] press e to edit? === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR [19:47] OerHeks, ah "e"!

[21:01] Its reccomended as a form of idiot proofing.. if someone has no idea what 32/64bit means or what their hardare is.. then they suggest the failsafe option [21:01] srj235: duck :) [21:03] When i select Linux-Unet. it downloads an executable. [21:03] select what from where? [21:05] I'm using Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04. I used to be able to mouseover on the weather applet to get details when I used 10.04, but now need t left click to see these details. How do I fix this? [21:06] please any good links on how a beginner can effective learn how to use python [21:06] babyswizz: #python would be a good start [21:06] python has to be one of the most documented languages in existance. ;) [21:07] Hey guys. I was in here about an hour ago. I ran 'apt-get remove python' and ubuntu started removing a bunch of system files (gnome etc) and now my computer can hardly work. I am able to log in and get to the desktop [21:07] what do I need to do? [21:07] cakeboss: why removing python? [21:07] cakeboss: reinstall ubuntu-desktop package woul dbe a good start [21:07] cakeboss: its a very stupid idea [21:07] Hi! [21:07] VlanX: Try congiguring X, with "X -configure". [21:07] Is there a way to check when a new update was available. [21:07] All I can see from synaptic is the version name, I want the date as well. [21:08] pici, how is #python a link [21:08] iceroot: I know. My computer died randomly and it messed up python horribly (it couldnt recognize native modules) [21:08] So I thought I would uninstall/reinstall [21:08] babyswizz: its a channel. You're in #ubuntu, we do not do programming help here. [21:08] dr_willis: how do I do that? [21:09] pici, ok i get you now [21:09] ElixirVitae: i guess looking with a browser on the repo and the timestamp when the package was created is one way, another is "apt-get changelog packagename" but when it was installed on the system is not that easy to find out, only with parsing logfiles [21:09] No I don't mean when it is installed, I can see it from apt/synaptic. === jonas_ is now known as Guest83192 [21:10] I want to see when a package was released, preferably without going to package maintainers' website [21:10] hi, trying to run a gui application script from lightdm.conf using greeter-setup-script. but it doesn't work [21:10] ElixirVitae: apt-get changelog packagename [21:10] the gui application is onboard [21:10] cakeboss: use recovery mode, apt-get install packagename [21:11] any idea how i can get onboard to start with lightdm-gtk-greeter? [21:11] It displays the same text from synaptic. [21:12] ElixirVitae: and what is wrong with that information? [21:12] It does say the package version, yes, but not when it was released/made available. [21:12] does anyone know of a program that will let me stream my desktop as a webcam? (i want to go on tinychat/stickam/otherwebcamsite and be able to show my desktop like i would my webcam) [21:13] novaspirit, yeah use the the little dude that is in circle that is in light dm menu [21:13] well pannel [21:13] top right [21:13] ElixirVitae: -- Adam Conrad Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:17:02 -0 [21:13] bekks, ya there is NO file on my machine anywhere named ntp.drift [21:13] ElixirVitae: that is the changelog from vim, is 27.04.2012 10:17:02 not enough? [21:13] werid [21:14] bobweaver, it's not there. this is lightdm-gtk-greeter [21:14] cameron_: 'webcamstudio' i belive has thta feature and a 1000x more [21:14] Actually, let me try that with another package. [21:14] grendal_prime: What exactly happens when setting the time with ntpdate and starting ntp afterwards? [21:14] cameron_: its not in the repos. ya got to get it from its homepage [21:14] bobweaver, i looked in the greeter.ui. and it's not in there either [21:14] ElixirVitae: the changelog-syntax is always the same for every package [21:14] dr_willis: i downloaded it and it never opened? [21:14] doesnt seem to do anything. and the time does not keep up. [21:14] cameron_: its worked well for me... You did actually install it? ;) [21:15] next thing i know its 10 hours out of sync [21:15] novaspirit, I do not know that much about light dm maybe if you tell it to start at all points in orca settings [21:15] bobweaver, would you happen to have a greeter.ui that i can check with the xml layout of onboard? [21:15] cameron_: it is written in java so it may need specific java versions [21:15] cameron_: no need to msg me. ;) kepe it in the channel [21:15] Hmm, it is easy to see when I try it firefox. [21:15] ahh okay [21:15] But not for chromium. [21:16] dr_willis: so what do i need to do? [21:16] and ntp is running i can isolate the ntpd process [21:16] grendal_prime: Could you please do the following and pastebin both the commands and their output?: sudo service ntp stop; date; sudo ntpdate pool-ntp.org; date; sudo service ntp start; sleep 10; date [21:16] dr_willis: i went here, http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu , and downloaded the .deb file [21:17] grendal_prime: type: it is pool.ntp.org [21:17] dr_willis: all it does is hang at the screen and keeps loading [21:17] sure will do [21:17] cameron_: all what does? [21:17] * Evil_Eric screams and throws his laptop out a window [21:17] dr_willis: the program [21:17] http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu gives some addational directions. no idea how valid it is. the app is over a year old. [21:18] hello all, i am trying to increase "nofile" using /etc/security/limits.conf but wen i do ulimit -n it is still 1024 [21:18] ElixirVitae: -- Ken VanDine Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:04:42 -0500 [21:18] ElixirVitae: i dont see the problem, as i said, its always the same syntax, always the last line under the changed [21:18] dr_willis: yeah thats what i use, but it seems to not be working [21:18] xsl: Did you log out completely and back in? [21:19] dr_willis: should i upload a screenshot and post here to show you what it does? [21:19] iceroot, that was way in the bottom of the changelog, I thought it should be near the top. [21:19] Many thanks~ [21:19] it was a user that was not logged in yet ( www-data ) [21:19] Found it as well. [21:19] cameron_: you did careate a video group like the docs say? [21:19] ElixirVitae: its always the last line for a changelisting [21:19] ElixirVitae: syntax is version \n changelisting \n autor + date [21:19] bekks, i want to increase the number of nofiles that nginx can open ( the user is www-data ) [21:19] dr_willis: it says not needed with 10.04, and since i use 12.04 i didn't think i needed to [21:19] I see. [21:20] And while I am at it, why is there so many PPAs for Chromium? [21:20] cameron_: could add one anyway and see.. but I dontknow the gui way to do it in 12.10 [21:21] we'll ill try adding one and see if that works [21:21] gimme a few. [21:22] cameron_: some info at http://ubuntuportal.com/2012/04/webcamstudio-virtual-webcam-apps-with-cool-effect.html in the comments [21:23] xsl: And did you stop nginx completely before doing that change and restarted it afterwards? [21:23] dr_willis: alright thanks i'll take a look [21:23] bekks, after i did the change i used su - www-data and checked ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn and nothing changed [21:23] let me see if nginx is stoped [21:24] I am trying to send an e-mail from the command line, but no luck. here is what I am doing:::echo "the test" | mail -s "$(echo -e "This is the subject\nContent-Type: text/html")" me@gmail.com [21:24] does anyone know if there is a way to do this? [21:24] Normally I just use emacs when coding. Need to do some OpenBSD coding on my nix machine. Can propolice be integrated into emacs. Thinking about canaries like random, xor and terminator. Also need to look at stack-smashing protection. [21:24] This form *nix [21:24] be nice to see webcamstudio get officially in the repos., :) its a very nifty app. [21:24] bekks [21:25] bekks, http://pastebin.com/gJERxquZ [21:25] anyone here well versed in arch? [21:25] JC__: in #ubuntu? [21:25] JC__: try #archlinux [21:25] JC__ why. You hate pacman? [21:26] the irratating thing. ive done this before... [21:26] and it eventually falls behind again [21:26] grendal_prime: Is it a vm? [21:26] yes [21:26] grendal_prime: :D [21:26] grendel prime, oh hecky yeah, i have read almost all grendel comics [21:26] JC__ Arch is a damn nice distro. Just don't like the blobs in the kernel. [21:27] grendal_prime: Is it a vbox vm? [21:27] kvm [21:28] should that matter if it is reaching a machine on the outside. it can ping them [21:28] grendal_prime: Then you are experiencing the fact that the time source is dynamic from inside the vm. Using vbox e.g., you could use the host as time source (vbox has an option to automagically sync the time from the host). Using KVM, I'm sorry for being out of clues. [21:28] hmm ntptrace is not not resolving [21:28] hello, I'm trying to use usb on virtualbox. I added myself to the vboxusers group ( sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers kristenbb) and restarted the host && virtual machine, but it's still not working, what else do I need to do ? [21:28] sorry for the double neg [21:28] dr_willis: yeah its doin the same thing [21:29] grendal_prime: Because KVM does not provide that capability while vbox does. [21:30] grendal_prime: maybe qemu would work better for your needs- it seems to be the VM that most debian devs use [21:30] kristenbb: you'll find virtualbox support in #vbox [21:31] bekks, i even reloaded sysctl [21:31] its odd [21:31] haylo: And it is much slower than vbox e.q. - in my experience. [21:31] I'm using Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04. I used to be able to mouseover on the weather applet to get details when I used 10.04, but now need to left click to see these details. How do I fix this? [21:32] there was no need to paste me a bunch of error messages... i dont code in java. [21:32] kristenbb: Did you install the extension pack on the host? [21:32] Sach: iirc, there is no fix. gnome-classic is a cheap 2d fallback modus and not a whole gnome2 enviroment [21:32] dr_willis: sorry, i figured u might be able to see something that i have no idea what it means =/ [21:33] cameron_: the program hasent been updated in ages.. so no idea. [21:33] k1l: so is this to suggest that gnome classic wasnt a fallback modus for 10.04? [21:33] Amazon results almost seem as an anti feature right now. Besides that, what am I missing in 12.10? [21:33] alright, well thanks for tryin [21:34] im still getting notifications of your error messages flood. ;P [21:34] Sach: no, its a fallback modus for gnome3 (gnome-shell) and is now removed for 13.04 because they use llvmpipe [21:34] k1l: thanks! I hate change :-p [21:34] k1l what's removed? [21:34] how can I send an email from the command line to my gmail account? [21:34] dr_willis: haha, my bad :p [21:34] hi [21:34] k1l: gnome-shell is the real gnome3 [21:35] loganrun: i would suggest to use mutt if you want a real mailclient [21:35] MonkeyDust: i thought the gnome-classic gets removed because gnome uses llvmpipie as fallback now and doesnt support gnome-classic anymore [21:35] the gnome-classic stuff is to get phased out of gnome in the near future also. ;) [21:35] Hi folks. I have problem with gmail phone. Speaker and microphone Linux is able to recognize, but when I try to call, it seems everything is dead. I have installed google talk-plugin and nothing change at all. What kind of procedure I should undertake for that to fix it? [21:35] loganrun: it's not so simple. You have to set up an MTA and try to get Google's servers to take you seriously. Uh, good luck! [21:36] iceroot: i know, but most users speak of gnome3 (when meaning gnome-shell). thats why i also use this terms to not confuse them [21:36] bekks: yeah it does seem awfully slow. I do like it that i can script it into my building process though, to automatically validate a system, or discard it [21:36] iceroot, so you do agree with k1l's response to me? [21:37] iceroot: so you do agree with k1l's response to me? [21:37] roothorick, oh, they'll take me seriously or I'll kick their.... how do I set up MTA, I don't need anything complex [21:38] k1l dang, i use classic [21:38] loganrun: there's guides online for setting up stuff like exim or postfix... tbh I never got around to it myself [21:38] Can anybody tell me the search directory for movie player exe [21:39] the path? [21:39] roothorick, I used to use fedora, and I think it was set up by default, I assume it is a standard package that has what I need, [21:39] Sach: which exactly? [21:39] john38: There is no "movie player exe" on Ubuntu. All you have are zillions of different movie player, like vlc. [21:39] loganrun: won't happen, nowadays mail servers expect mail only from the big registered mail servers (and from their own clients/customers of course) [21:40] iceroot: that I cannot fix my issue of not being able to mouseover my weather applet in Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04, as I did in 10.04 [21:40] bekks, what i mean is what is the path for movie player [21:40] Sach: sorry i dont know i am not using gnome classic so i dont know [21:40] hi [21:41] when is Unity expected to be stable? [21:41] bekks, standard that ships with ubunut? [21:41] it is stable...? [21:41] john38: That strongly depends on the movie player installed. [21:41] guntbert, not sure that is the case with gmail, worst case, it should end up in spam [21:41] TheLordOfTime, haha !!! good one :) [21:41] dreambox, its pretty stable (12.04), 12.10's a different issue. [21:41] TheLordOfTime, nop its not (12.04) [21:41] TheLordOfTime, one crash per day = not stable === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR [21:41] dreambox, you're one of the few whining then, its worked for me and twenty other clients of mine [21:41] bekks, totem? [21:42] guntbert, besides superspamserver has no problem sending me email [21:42] dreambox, if its crashing, is it asking to file crash bugs (you should do that if it asks) [21:42] dreambox: unity is pretty stable, and 12.10 is a big improvement on 12.04 [21:42] TheLordOfTime, ibus crashed today.. yesterday chrome... [21:42] or error reports [21:42] dreambox, neither of which are unity [21:42] bekks, what is the path for totem? [21:42] dreambox, chromium's not Unity. ibus isnt directly Unity either. [21:42] s/chromium/chrome/ [21:42] loganrun: you misunderstood: most MTAs only accept mail from servers that are registered by ISPs, they will not accept it from a "home" machine [21:43] TheLordOfTime, ok then, my Unity shortcuts are lost between sessions... [21:43] so you're complaining about those softwares, not Unity. [21:43] guntbert, is there a public mail server or something I can use, I don't want to use gmail server since you have to supply a password and I don't want that in a file [21:43] Sach: you cant compare 10.04 and 12.04. the 10.04 is using gnome2 and 12.04 is using a gnome3-fallback (which is not gnome2 even if it looks similar) [21:43] gamil phone is not working, why? [21:43] loganrun: whatever you do, you'll have to supply the mail provider with a password [21:43] guntbert, as of a few months ago that was not the case with gmail, but things could have changed [21:43] TheLordOfTime, on a 2-screen setup , you cant maximize windows to the 2nd monitor... === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR [21:43] loganrun: no, that would be an "open mail relay" - deeply frowned upon [21:44] dreambox, okay, now you're whining, and i'm not going to respond to whining. [21:44] * TheLordOfTime returns to fixing his computer's partitions [21:44] TheLordOfTime, I'm just demanding, I'm a power user, I want stability.. I dont have time to experiment.. :/ [21:44] dreambox: report the bugs on launchpad === andrea is now known as Guest26991 [21:44] hi [21:44] what k1l said [21:45] k1l, Will do [21:45] dreambox: everything else is not constuctive but just whining [21:45] dreambox: for me, Unity has been 100% stable for over six months [21:45] again, what k1l said :P (you're whining, which doesn't help squat) [21:45] dreambox: what have you had problems with? [21:45] TBH I dont like the UI .. I dont think its efficient.. [21:46] then find a different UI [21:46] again, you're complaining. [21:46] if you report the bugs with the needed infos the developers can take a look at the issues. but there are that much different setups that cant be all tested. [21:46] being a UX designer I think I know my shit :) [21:46] !language | dreambox [21:46] dreambox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[21:46] no worries I'm aleady installing Lubuntu :-) [21:46] dreambox: hahahaha, lubuntu [21:46] dreambox: hope you like reporting crash bugs [21:47] dreambox: please keep in mind that you won't reach the people who make design decisions in this channel [21:47] TheLordOfTime, i know but i need to know where its found usr/bin usr/sbin,.....urs/share..???? [21:47] gordonjcp, from what I read it's lot more mature than Unity... [21:47] guntbert, I wonder where I'd reach them... [21:47] #help === cjae is now known as robotdevil [21:47] dreambox: not here, and now please drop that topic, this channel is for support [21:48] dreambox: they wont listen to "omg i hate the ui, its no efficient" anyway. so dont think of bother them" === c_melder is now known as melder [21:49] Hello, How would i use the rename command to prepend a string of text to all mkv files in a directory? [21:50] I know next to nothing about perl expressions =( [21:50] blz better ask in #bash, i guess [21:50] MonkeyDust, I thought about it, but I believe rename is Debian-specific [21:50] but maybe I'll try my luck =) [21:50] john38: /usr/bin/totem? or what do you want? [21:52] kll [21:52] k1l, thanks [21:52] k1l, I've already pointed out my concerns in stack exchange, with reasoning, arguments and all.. (hell I could even make a mockup for'em) [21:52] anyways ! [21:53] dreambox: i think they are open for constructive critism. but that is not what you said in the channel here. so lets focus on the support topics :) [21:54] hey everybody, pls help Im looking for file integrity software and I found tripwire aide afick and samhain, tripwire will be the best ? [21:57] nedwed: the best is always "what YOU like most" [21:57] k1l: thanks for the clarification. so is it possible to use gnome2 environment in 12.04? [21:57] nedwed: so we cant answer that [21:58] Hello [21:59] Lots users [21:59] ALLCHAN [21:59] Is there any mods in here [21:59] yes [22:00] Sach: no. because it has broken depencies to the gnome3 enviroment that is in the ubuntu repos from 11.10 on [22:00] Sach: not really that i know of. theres some ubuntu derritives that may have it. [22:00] Is a stack-smashing protector SSP enabled in Ubuntu. Was implemented as a patch to GCC a while back. If nto I am hopping I can add it with -fstack-protector-all. What woujld be a good size threshold for SSP if I tune it with --param ssp-buffer-size= [22:00] dr_willis: suggestions? [22:00] Sach: if you want the gnome2 look back, try xfce or lxde [22:01] Sach: i dident even see your original problem [22:01] if i want an old skool look. i use lxde [22:03] REGISTER pycode [22:03] c0dr: wrong window? [22:03] oh yes ... was hoping noone saw [22:04] anyone who will have a few minutes help me get started?

So I'm going to try it manually. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me how do I know whether I'm running 32 bit, or 64 bit? I'm not computer savvy....

[22:13] toddnjamie: and uname -a will help you distinguish between 64 and 32 bit [22:13] Am I imagining things or were there special Ubuntu ISOs built for mac hardware?

When I try to log in, I don't get any unity menus or anything else. [22:13] corvaxia: the new apple jails are using x86/amd64 so you can use the normal isos [22:14] corvaxia: PPC yes. Apple Hardware is just PC hardware but over-priced.

[22:14] zen933k: overpriced + a jail [22:14] Hmm.. i dident think the PPC version was offically supported any more.. [22:14] iceroot: Sent from my MBP ;) [22:14] uname -a in a command shell should show something like: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 [22:14] True but I swear they had iso's that already included the Broadcom drivers so you didn't have to connect to ethernet. [22:14] Thought those disks were for the newer macs with some bootloader differances [22:15] zen933k: i am sorry to hear that [22:15] the x86_64 means you're running 64 bit. === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [22:16] 4 [22:16] iceroot: Don't be, in 2010 the MBP had the best battery life. Asus had the cloest specs but the same price... [22:17] dr_willis, if I was supposed to find a driver on there, my printer is not listed. But I see through searches that other people have used my specific printer with my specific ubuntu, yet, their processes aren't working for me. [22:17] hello [22:17] I'm not a good problem solver apparently lol [22:17] how can i convince grub from either 12.04 and 13.04 to detect the fedora 17 install? [22:17] can someone assist with ecrypts ? [22:17] I have a file path and password [22:17] patr|ck, is it not seen by os-prober [22:17] toddnjamie: check askubuntu.com perhaps - they tend to have some decent guides. could be you need the hplip package for hp printers. [22:18] how do I uncrypt the private directory ? [22:18] escott, yeah [22:18] patr|ick: Are you a Wizard? 13.04? [22:18] patr|ck: if you knew what info to put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom you could make your own custom entry for it. [22:18] I have already tried all that. I downloaded hplip.3.12.10a and tried automatic installation and a manual type installation, neither of which are working. [22:18] I am using ubuntu 11.10 liveCD for this session! The newness of this experience is nerve racking to say the least. I have a10.04.3 liveusb that needs a patch that will allow me to have internet connectivity. I'd like to download the patch with 11.10 liveCD. Please help. [22:18] i am tresting something on 13.04 [22:18] patr|ck, perhaps you dont have lvm installed. maybe install lvm and load it [22:18] So I was thinking to save some space on my backup hard disk, I think to create a script which will look all files looking for the same hash and use hard links to leave just one copy of them. But then I think probably there is some file system that works on this way on os level. Does anybody know the name? [22:19] So far I've not been able to find anything on askubuntu to help me out. [22:19] !#ubuntu+1 | patr|ck [22:19] patr|ck: Raring Ringtail is the codename for Ubuntu 13.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [22:19] how to delete a program and its home folder too? [22:19] i am not asking for support for 13.04 [22:19] stop this nonesense === _weldan is now known as weldan [22:20] kristenbb, apt-get purge package-name [22:20] escott, fedora is not installed into LVM containers [22:20] escott: I thought this wouldn't delete the home folder nor the global settings? [22:21] could it be that each distribution has an own format for EXT4? [22:21] toddnjamie: still no luck, huh? what was the result of the last run of install.sh [22:21] No. [22:21] patr|ck: No. [22:21] hm [22:21] escott: I thought this wouldn't delete the home folder but just* the global settings? [22:21] I can't send mail through my server (postfix) and can't see any errors. Where does a postfix on Lucid stick error messages? [22:21] kristenbb: you mixed up "its (home) folder" and "config in my home folder" [22:21] craigbass1976: mail log, syslog [22:21] kristenbb, what do you mean home folder? the ~/.appname you have to remove that manually [22:21] patr|ck: no way, distros stick to the defs of the file systems standards. Its one of the great tings in Linux [22:21] craigbass1976: tried looking in /var/log/ ? [22:22] What do you mean? [22:22] i wonder why ubuntu cant detect fedora then [22:22] maybe it does not want to! [22:22] why are you asking in here ? #ubuntu+1 is for 13.04's pre-alpha discussion [22:22] escott: is there no command to remove that folder along with the package ? [22:22] patr|ck: have you tried manually mounting? [22:23] patr|ck: have you ran: sudo fdisk -l to list the partitions [22:23] read my comment close if you can: that problem is on 12.04 and 13.04 i said [22:23] Gnea, ikonia I've been through most of /var/log (all of the mail* files) and don't see anything. I looked in dovecot too, but didn't think that was the culprit anyway. [22:23] kristenbb, no [22:23] rednecktek, I replaced the canon with an hp deskjet 3512, research said hp had more drivers for ubuntu... [22:23] kristenbb: no, remember linux is a multi user system [22:23] rednecktek, so I gave up on the canon, went and bought an hp...now I can't install it, either!! [22:23] craigbass1976: dovecot is nothing to do with sending mail [22:23] ActionParsnip, yes sir [22:23] ikonia, I thought not. [22:24] toddnjamie: looking it up. [22:24] Thank you. [22:24] toddnjamie: should be an automatic install [22:24] escott: and how does purge work exactly ? is it left to the developer to say where the config files of its program are ? or is there a way to make sure a program (and its components, config files, ...) is completely gone ? [22:24] hello, how do i mount a smb remote folder on 12.04 ? [22:25] VlanX: do you have nautilus? [22:25] kristenbb, no package is going to remove stuff from $HOME ever. [22:25] toddnjamie: what is the output from: lpstat -p -d [22:25] patr|ck: The only suggestion I have is to look through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1985184 and see if some answers are there. [22:25] escott: yes I understood that. I was now talking about the general config files, those in /etc for example [22:25] zen933k, thanks [22:26] ActionParsnip: yes, but maybe also CLI is good? [22:26] would you like to me to paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [22:26] patr|ck: does manual mounting work? [22:26] ActionParsnip, yes [22:26] So I was thinking to save some space on my backup hard disk, I think to create a script which will look all files looking for the same hash and use hard links to leave just one copy of them. But then I think probably there is some file system that works on this way on os level. Does anybody know the name? [22:26] patr|ck: so it can recognise fedora.... [22:26] kristenbb, i dont know all the details of debs. every file the application creates should appear in the debs, and are flagged as config or non-config. purge removes config fiels === qos|away is now known as qos [22:26] X-warrior: rsync can do that for you [22:26] rednecktek, want me to paste it to the page you gave me before? [22:27] are you actually using the grub ubuntu [22:27] X-warrior, search for dedup and it should list other tools [22:27] as in is the grub ubuntu the one that's actually on the mbr [22:27] or is it the fedora one [22:27] toddnjamie: last line should be enough [22:27] if so running any grub commands from ubuntu is a pointless task [22:27] toddnjamie: is a default printer listed? [22:27] escott: in other words, if I do 'purge' and delete the config folder in my home, am I sure that there's nothing else from that application on my computer? [22:27] haylo, kvm uses qemu as its core [22:27] I am using ubuntu 11.10 liveCD for this session! I have a 10.04.3 liveusb that needs a patch that will allow me to have internet connectivity For a new ASUS notebook 10.04.3 liveusb doesn't give me wireless connectivity. I'd like to download the patch with 11.10 liveCD. Please help. [22:27] kristenbb, ideally yes [22:27] bekks, http://serverfault.com/questions/132197/best-practice-for-system-clock-sync-on-kvm-host [22:28] ActionParsnip, I think it could preserve my hard links, but if I don't have it yet. How is it possible? I didn't find this option on it [22:28] clear [22:28] rednecktek: it says default destination: deskjet_3510_2...recall, I have a 3512. There's probably part of the problem I'm assuming? [22:28] arg >.< [22:28] grendal_prime: :) [22:28] there is something for this. its actually very simple to set up...just not documented anywhere. seems to be doing the trick just fine. no need to even install ntp from what i can tell [22:28] hi folks, anybody know when a fix for CVE-2012-5371 will hit the repos?

[22:29] so i have ntp working on the host, and then set the clock source on the guests to the kvm-clock..wham [22:29] -------------------------Does anyone know of a tool to test the ISP connection speed over a period of time? I have a customer that I service that has ubuntu 12.04.1 that has intermittent speed issues and have had their ISP "test" the circuits remotely. [22:29] X-warrior: not sure there, is it listed in the man page? [22:29] digitalvaldosta: no need for --------------- [22:29] digitalvaldosta: try mtr [22:29] escott, yes! I think that was the word I needed to keep looking, thanks! :D [22:29] erm, wait, thought you said connection, not speed [22:29] digitalvaldosta: could occasionally download a file from the site [22:29] haylo, ? quemu or kvm? [22:29] digitalvaldosta: nevermind [22:29] have you used kvm? [22:29] digitalvaldosta: mtr or - if you need it in more detail smokeping [22:29] X-warrior, rsync will do it with hardlinks with one of the options.. [22:29] toddnjamie: nope that's probably fine. Cups usually just lists the base model (351X, dj9XX, etc). Have you tried printing? [22:30] digitalvaldosta: or have them download a file get the speed and then delete it. You can report on that :) [22:30] X-warrior, --link-dest [22:30] Ok, I will check into those. [22:30] Yes...nothing happens. [22:30] I'll try again. [22:31] Hello all, I'm looking for some help with a bootup problem in 12.04 LTS [22:31] The main contact at this place, she wants a detailed report over a period of time.

[22:32] brandon420: try asking in ##hardware or the #ubuntu-offtopic channels [22:33] Apparently Dell are selling Ubuntu loaded laptops brandon420 [22:33] toddnjamie: lets try something simplier. try running: system-config-printer [22:33] So something that will check the speed at scheduled intervals and possibly output to a file or graph would be nice. [22:33] in the terminal? [22:33] rednecktek: in the terminal? [22:34] toddnjamie: yes [22:34] rednecktek: it popped up my printers-localhost window [22:34] rednecktek: there's an exclamation point on my printer lol [22:34] ok helllo all, is there a guru in residence i hope?

These include model connection manager, SMB/CIFC File Server, LightDM Display Manager, CPU interrupts balancing daemon, Winbind daemon & GNOME Displat Ma[OK] (blank line and at the end another [fail]). [22:41] toddnjamie: is there a "diagnose" button somewhere on the printer properties window? [22:41] capeeKo: what video chip do you use? [22:41] actionparsnip i am using the laptop i am having the problem with, right now. had to throw in live CD [22:42] ActionParsnip: toddnjamie that's a good idea. Also removing/re-adding the printer seems to be a solution for some [22:42] Billinthebox: fine, but in the TTY loginm can you get updated? === qos is now known as qos|away [22:42] ActionParsnip: let me double check [22:42] gordonjcp, well, i think oem is a little bit to fat for that .... isnt there an easy way to say "you need a new password... if u dont want to set a new one, shutdown your machine"? just for one time? [22:42] rednecktek: no. there's not a diagose button. [22:42] toddnjamie: if you run: lsusb do you see the printer listed? [22:42] actionparsnip i can try but i will have to dump thiis session to do it [22:42] Billinthebox: updates may help [22:43] rednecktek: hewlett packard? yes [22:43] ActionParsnip system should be up to date [22:43] the albatross style in xubuntu seems to be unusable. http://i.imgur.com/y9kB7.png [22:43] ActionParsnip i did updates the day before [22:44] ActionParsnipi run update nearly everytime i logon, just to check [22:44] Billinthebox: in the TTY try: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [22:44] Three of my co-workers just got new Dell laptops.

[22:51] alright...it was for us all [22:51] toddnjamie: right click on the printer in the Printing-localhost window and choose "delete" [22:52] I'm new here faennil but I get the feeling it's purely for technical support not activism [22:53] ok so if i pull up a terminal in live cd session can i access my permanent install with it? how? [22:53] forgetful: you are right on that feeling :) that is why we have the offic channels [22:53] rednecktek: ok...

[22:57] Billinthebox, the assumption is that you used sudo when you should have used gksudo and broke your gui by making root into the owner of ~/.Xauthority. this will reset you as the owner of all the files in your home folder [22:57] toddnjamie: very cool. thank the devs that make this stuff work, i'm just here for the coffee. My /guess/ is that it auto-installed incorrectly and cleaned itself up when you reinstalled it [22:57] It might be worth installing irssi when you get on the TTY Billinthebox, so you can come back even if your Desktop still isn;t loading [22:57] manveru: there is no alert at that ID [22:58] ikonia: it's referenced from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2012/11/09/ruby19-hashdos-cve-2012-5371/ [22:58] ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem.

I don't even know how to get to the grub menu [23:06] capeeKo: hold SHIFT at boot [23:06] I think maybe I should just do a re-install.. I just wanted to avoid losing all my files [23:06] capeeKo: your backups will protect your files [23:07] Did you see what ActionParsnip said Billinthebox? Sounds like a good idea to me [23:08] hi guys... I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu.... I installed the WiBu thingy... but at the bootloader when I choose for Ubuntu I get to a commandline grub> [23:08] what do I do there ? [23:08] holding shift didn't do anything, it's just stuck at the boot screen again. [23:09] ActionParsnip: so if I re-download & install 12.04 LTS when booted in windows I won't lose my files? [23:10] Butacheese [23:10] reinstall* [23:10] DO NOT TYPE rm -rf / --- this is BAD!

I also won't eat up your time so you can help folks here that don't need their hand held through every instruction, lol. [23:14] just thought I'd ask [23:14] Have a great Thanksgiving.

The free VMware player allows installation now [23:14] Can some one help me install ubuntu with vista [23:14] i get error's it says no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partion menu, [23:14] Could anybody tell me why disabling journalling to save SSD writes is a bad idea? [23:14] well I cant find my old copy of XP...and I tried to make convert my physical to a vmware img [23:15] but that isn't working [23:15] you need to define where the '/' partion is supposed to go Help22 [23:15] Help22: you used custom partitioning, you need to tell the installer which partition to use for what [23:15] in 12.04 [23:15] my windows part is win 7 [23:15] Help22: / is also called 'root' [23:15] ActionParsnip, dr_willis idk which one to choose [23:15] I don't like booting into it [23:15] VlanX, thats seems perfectly reasonable if that is your concern [23:15] Help22: you re the one partioning your drives.. so we cant tell.. [23:16] can you help me go through it? [23:16] Help22: normally you make a linux partion of type ext4 and a swap partiion. [23:16] techspartan, as long as you have the number any image should be fine [23:16] Help22: the installer has some automatic partioning options [23:16] escott: having three VM's with EXT4, yes it does. Can i disable it w/out having to use EXT2 ? [23:16] bekks: i see its running something in python on 8888, and it has this: ip-XX-XXX-XX-XXX.ec2.internal:8888->rrcs-XX-XXX-XXX-XX.nyc.biz.rr.com:61641 (ESTABLISHED) [23:16] i did that linux partion of type ext4, what do u mean swap partion [23:16] Help22: then your linux partion will be the / for the mountpoint [23:16] VlanX, the distinction between ext2/3/4 is not a bright line. [23:16] Help22: you need a swap partition for suspend, its like the page file in Windows [23:16] My computer is a NIS client. How can I add a (nis) user locally with a custom home directory, so that I can still log in without an internet connection? [23:17] 0.o [23:17] Help22: normally one makes a swap partion. equal in size to your ram typically. [23:17] can you help me do that ^^ [23:17] Help22: so you need at least 2 partitions, one set as swap and the other set as / formatted to ext4 [23:17] VlanX, its perfectly valid to say ext4-journalling is ext3-journaling+extents or ext2+extents === Harpoon_ is now known as Harpoon [23:17] theres videos and guides on partioning the disks Why are you not using the automated partioning features? [23:17] VlanX, to focus only on the high level features [23:17] escott: however if i keep using EXT4 i would still have the beneficts of SSD compatibility, such as trim. So can i just get rid of journalling w/out too many drawbacks? [23:18] mib_mbi: The first column shows you which process established that connection. [23:18] dr_willis, what auto partioning features? [23:18] bekks: ah nice, now i can look at the process, thanks [23:18] VlanX, if you disable the journal then you are disabling journaling [23:18] Oh, now I know dr_willis - I guessed twice the RAM - still works but i'm guessing it just wasted the space? [23:18] Help22: the installer has like 3 options. 'install alongside' 'use whole disk' and 'somthing else..." (which lets YOU customize the disk partions) [23:19] forgetful: dosent really matter much these days. ;) [23:19] tiwce tha ram is no needed nowadays [23:19] escott: is it something that i write on /etc/fstab, right? [23:19] forgetful: i got no swap on this system right now. ;) [23:19] VlanX, etunefs [23:19] Help22: my normal partion layout for widnows 7 --> (windows boot partion) (windows main partion) (linux /) (linux swap) [23:20] Help22: dependng on your setup you do it how you need. [23:20] escott: since you certainly are more wise than me, if having too many SSD write rates concerns me, would it be a good idea to disable it? [23:20] dr_willis all i saw on my otions was erase and install, encrypt, use lvm, and something else [23:22] VlanX, if that is your concern then that is your concern. i cant say whether or not that is a good idea. that depends on how stable your system is and how much you value the security of the journal [23:22] Help22: you may want to check out youtube see if they got some videos of the install process.. [23:22] dr_willis, do u have a link? [23:22] Help22: exactly what did you download? [23:23] Help22: err... youtube.com [23:23] ;) [23:23] escott: yeah, i think that tomorrow at work i can spend few time to understand exactly how journalling works. Thanks for your help dude :) [23:23] i downlaod ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386 [23:23] Help22: you have a single hard drive? [23:23] yes dr_willis [23:24] Help22: if you allready have it partioned. You just need to tell it what partion to use for / making a swap partion is also a very good idea [23:24] VlanX, personally i wouldn't disable journalling. [23:24] i have 3 partions that show up C, D,U [23:24] but in ubuntu i have like 10 that appear [23:25] Help22: linux does not use drive letters like that.. windows does not see linux partions [23:25] No idea what 10 you mean. [23:25] how do i found out how linux views it? [23:25] VlanX, if your SSD is any good it should notice the journal blocks are hot and do a good job balancing those writes across the free blocks, if its a poor firmware is going to wear unevenly anyways [23:25] because then i could tell you [23:25] Help22: sudo fdisk -l shows the disk layout [23:25] how do i do that inside of windows? [23:26] Help22: you dont. [23:26] oh so i have to run my cd and then run it virtualy? [23:26] You could play with the installer inside virtualbox so you can figure it out.. Ive no idea why you dont see some automatic parttioning options. perhaps you overlooked it. [23:27] ok dr_willis ill open it up in vm [23:27] escott: yeah, that's exaclty what i'm afraid of. I don't want the same sector to be written over and over all day when the system is idling. Iostat shows like 10 GB in a week on the SSD and i'm only writing to the HDD drive. [23:29] VlanX, i view any SSD i purchase for the next 5 years as a temporary performance booster and have no faith it will work. if it manages to save data across a boot its a miracle. [23:30] escott: well, isn't that a little too pessimistic? [23:30] VlanX, it also means i get a present every day that my computer boots [23:30] dr_willis, when i run the installation in vm there is onyl 1 device and 1 device for bootloader installation [23:31] 5 years from now.. i hope my 128gb SDD is viewd as tiny and quaint. ;) and will be easially replaced by 128TB ones.. [23:31] maybe in the future the SSD technology will become more reliable [23:31] Help22: since you only have one HD in the vm.. that makes sence... [23:31] oh..... [23:31] does anyone has the Nexus 10 yet ? I wanted to know how a double column conference article pdf looked in it ? [23:31] so..... what do i do? [23:32] Help22: practice the installing in the vm untill you figure it out.. that was the point of the vm. [23:32] i did it's simple just i don't know what all to choose in the real installation [23:32] Help22: theres most likely videos on you tube showing step by step how to install and other guides. I dont have the install process memorized.. and my systems are all multi hd [23:32] oh [23:32] I recall a 'install along side windows' option... but i never do it that way [23:33] Help22: 1 partition the same size as ram for swap and the rest for /, formatted ext4 [23:33] or use the live cd. and partion your hard disk how you want. [23:33] that wasn't on mine, [23:33] Help22: boot the live cd.. then come back here so we can help.. we cant do much with you in windows [23:33] dr_willis, i don't get internet in the live cd [23:34] Help22: and its a good idea to backup your windows stuff and other critical info BEFOR you try to install [23:34] i have [23:35] if an applet fails to load (its an internet applet to allow a user to login to their bank) is there a fix for it? [23:35] you could just install in vbox and experiment with the OS till you learn the basics also.. [23:35] can i encrypt something with a public key and keep my private key offline on a flash drive? [23:35] i have done that dr_willis [23:36] goddard: Thats how asymmetric encryption works, yes. [23:36] bekks: oh so like AES? [23:36] goddard, yes [23:36] Help22: reading up on how linux partions drives is a good idea. Its possible your windows disk has 4 primary partions allready made.. and thats causing the whole issue. [23:36] goddard, AES is not asymmetric [23:36] oh..... [23:37] yeah there all labeleing with like nvidea [23:37] oh [23:37] escott: what is? [23:37] goddard: AES is an encryption algorithm, not a asymmetric encryption implementation. [23:38] oh ok [23:38] is there a way to connect to a wireless network from the command line? i can do it through the NetworkManager Applet GUI. [23:38] goddard, AES is a symmetric cipher. assymetric ciphers are provided by pgp/gpg and use large primes or ECC [23:38] goddard, so RSA, DSA, and ECC [23:38] escott: ahh ok [23:39] dr_willis, could i istall it through wubi? [23:39] goddard, if you "gpg --help" the asymmetric ones are listed under pubkey, ciphers are symmetric [23:39] Help22: i would forget wubi even exists.... [23:39] why? [23:40] it stinks. ;) [23:40] how so? [23:40] Fragile. problematic. and next to impopssible to get help for when it breaks [23:41] Help22: its a pain to fix if you get boot issues and it is directly affected by the shortcomings of NTFS (Mainly fragmentations) [23:41] escott: rockin dude thanks [23:41] oh =[\ [23:43] i want to delete user and is error: user currently logged in, im using command userdel -r testusername [23:43] How do you configure anacron to run things in cron.daily? [23:43] dr_willis, do you think you can remote control my computer and help me set it up? [23:43] how to delete user in this situation [23:43] Guest24899, kill the users processes [23:43] Guest24899: you can't delete something while it's in use [23:43] Guest24899: so the user is still logged in? [23:44] sup [23:44] Guest24899: use: sudo killall -u username it will boot the user, you can then delete it [23:44] sup all can you see my txt? [23:44] sikklee: aye [23:44] anyone running studio? [23:45] sikklee: ask your real question and see :) [23:45] Help22: if you cant get networking working.. how is that even going to be possible,,, [23:45] is anyone running ubuntustudio? [23:45] sikklee, ask a real question [23:45] dr_willis, is there a way to get the network working? [23:46] nvm....anyone used bakktrakk before? [23:46] Help22: i have no details of how your network is setup. or what hardware you have. [23:46] sikklee, its not supported here [23:46] Help22: run a cable to the router untill i get my sustem installed is what i normally do [23:46] sikklee: #ubuntustudio [23:46] jus sayin has anyone used it [23:46] sikklee, ask the backtrack people, and stop polling here [23:46] #ubuntu [23:46] !backtrack | sikklee [23:46] sikklee: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [23:48] hmm [23:48] Help22: what's the issue? your network isn't working? [23:49] im trying to install ubuntu with vista and im having alot of problems [23:49] sigh. I can't even reinstall. I change the boot process to my USB drive & it tells me to Remove disks or other media & press any key to restart. why the hell did I try to install sopcast & mess with my usr/lib files.. [23:50] Help22: it's a simple process, install vista, install ubuntu [23:50] Help22: Try the basics first: 1) make sure everything is turned on and plugged in, 2) have you tried turning it off and on again? 3) what does ifconfig say? can you ping anything by ip? [23:50] my internet works in windows [23:50] Help22: I recommend you don't install vista unless you enjoy banging your head against your desk [23:50] but not in the live cd of ubuntu [23:50] phix its already isntalled [23:50] Help22: ok, how is your network setup? [23:50] my wireless usb to my router [23:52] Help22: ok, in ubuntu you can click on the top left ubuntu symbol button then type in setting and then click on system settings [23:52] Help22: in there you will see network [23:52] ok then what? [23:53] Help22: can you see your wireless card there? [23:53] well i have to reboot [23:54] first to my live cd [23:54] ok [23:54] BRB [23:54] Help22: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:54] and in there you should see wireless [23:58] Any idea why it telling me to remove disks or any other media when I change the boot sequence to my USB drive first? [23:58] its not seeing any OS to boot at all.. so its saying a generic error type message perhaps... [23:59] the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image is on it.. [23:59] similer to the days when you put a floppy in tha twas not bootable. [23:59] ya I get ya, it's just frustrating because I know there is one. [23:59] capeeKo: perhaps you put it on wrong.. how did you put the iso on the usb>
