| dr_willis | capeeKo: err.... thats putting it on wrong... | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | you should NOT have a file called whatever.iso on the usb | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | capeeKo: use unetbootin | 00:00 |
| capeeKo | that a program that extracts the image onto the drive? | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | unetbootin is one of many. theres others listed at the pendrivelinux web site | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | some of those can boot a .iso file from the usb. ;) so you can make multiboot usb sticks | 00:02 |
| capeeKo | ok. thanks guys. maybe I'm mistaken about it working in the past, it's been a while & classes have my head all mixed up lol | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | You have never just drag/dropped an iso file to a usb and have it work... | 00:03 |

| yvesD | uninstall it | 00:46 |
| yvesD | *g* | 00:46 |
| Geothst | Ubuntu has some dependencies on unity, so I can't. | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:46 |
| Geothst | Or I would. | 00:46 |
| rara | Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ? | 00:46 |
| n2deep | does anyone here have any info on Ubuntu for Android? | 00:47 |
| Geothst | It just says, "Precise". | 00:47 |
| yvesD | any error-messages? | 00:47 |
| rara | Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ? | 00:47 |
| n2deep | ...join me in #ubuntu-android if you have any info to share | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: you could use a different session if you don't like Unity. You can install xcfe4 and use that desktop instead of Gnome | 00:48 |
| Geothst | Well, I tried that. | 00:48 |
| Geothst | Unity still crashes when I load XFCE. | 00:48 |
| Geothst | And I still have the panel to the left. | 00:48 |
| Geothst | in my XFCE session. | 00:49 |

| laffinboy | can anybody answer a question about ubuntu | 00:53 |
| Geothst | This is probably a good place for that. | 00:53 |
| Geothst | What is the likelyhood that something messed up when I was doing my install causing Unity to be awful and crash a lot and not work right in any way whatsoever? And that if I just re-install Ubuntu it will work right, then. because honestly I'm about to uninstall and just use Windows. | 00:54 |

| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: sorry, wrong target | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: try unity2d | 00:56 |
| Geothst | I did. It also crashes. | 00:56 |
| laffinboy | my question is therena way i can do the upgrade and have it save to my hard drive | 00:56 |
| Geothst | Well, it thinks it has crashed. It works fine, as far as I can tell. | 00:56 |
| laffinboy | md5? | 00:57 |
| Geothst | When you download the install file it sometimes messes up a small part of the file and can cause your OS to malfunction. | 00:57 |
| Geothst | !MD5 | 00:57 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:57 |

But when it comes to my office wifi, problem occurs as it becomes very slow. Can anyone give me any hints what the reason may be? | 01:21 |
| completeIdiot | am... any one copy? i put openssh in the ubuntu software center.. results are secure shell, secpanel.. what to install now? | 01:22 |
| SierraAR | dr_willis, how would I do that? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to different file system formats | 01:22 |
| uabn93 | the window crashes after i make it to the password/user phase. The mouse still remains, but in the loading position. what should i do? | 01:22 |
| Eol | lsb_release -sc : maverick | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: maverick is dead | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: the ppa doesn't support maverick, nor does the ubuntu community | 01:22 |
| nowayride | Well his user name is appropriate then :P | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | SierraAR: use gparted. make a partion. make it ntfs.. format it.. winodows should be able to install to it | 01:22 |
| Eol | i see.. | 01:22 |
| Eol | ok, where do I need to go to change this stuff? The IT guys just gave me a linux box. What should I tell them to fix, I'm pretty noobish at linux | 01:23 |
| Pelo | evening folks, I'M running 12.04 in classic mode, I can't schedule appointments by clicking in the calendar in the top panel, how do I do it ? | 01:23 |
| SierraAR | dr_willis, alright, thanks. +cookie | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: I suggest you clean install with Precise for support til April 2017 , or Quantal for the latest features | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: tell him to clean install Precise | 01:23 |
| Pelo | what's the default calendar app in 12.04 is what I'm asking | 01:23 |
| Eol | So that means a whole new linux box? | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | install to the one you got now? | 01:24 |
| SierraAR | Pelo, according to System Settings > Details, something called 'gedit' | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: no just a new OS | 01:25 |
| completeIdiot | any1 friendly enough to help me out on private over the virtual box and adding hdds? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Eol: its like he installed Windows 95 and gave you it :) | 01:25 |
| gonyere | pelo: I think 12.04 ships with thunderbird, but the calendar may integrate with evolution | 01:25 |
| Pelo | SierraAR, gedit is a text editor, a pretty nifty one but not a calendar | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | completeIdiot: you dont want to access physical HDS from vbox. | 01:25 |
| Eol | yeah, i figured that | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | completeIdiot: that can cause data curruption | 01:25 |
| Pelo | gonyere, ok thanks I guess | 01:25 |
| gonyere | i know it does in gnome-shell anyhow | 01:25 |
| SierraAR | gonyere Pelo, the calender part of thunderbird is a separate plugin called lightning, which is what I use :P (No idea if it can be set as the default calender app) | 01:25 |
| gonyere | i'm not 100% if thats the same in unity or not | 01:25 |
| Eol | Ah, ok. so 10.10 is "maverick" and 12.04 is "precise" | 01:25 |
| uabn93 | the installer window keeps crashing on me. Can anyone help me out | 01:26 |
| BrandonBolton | Eol, exactly. | 01:26 |
| Eol | ok, thanks | 01:26 |
| Pelo | SierraAR, ok pluging in thunderbird, that makes a bit of sense , I'll give that a try | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | uabn93: you did verify the iso file after you downloaded it? it is possible to run the installer from a terminal window and look for error messages | 01:26 |

| completeIdiot | no panic.. | 01:28 |
| uabn93 | dr_willis: i downloaded the torrent so it should be ok. how can i figure out the name of the installer? | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | lkthomas: ive not noticed any atom optmized ubuntu variants, or kernels. Ive seen some other disrots that seem to focus on netbooks. but i cant even rember their names | 01:28 |
| === komodoDragon is now known as Guest58540 | ||
| dr_willis | uabn93: i think its called 'ubiquity' | 01:28 |

| uabn93 | dr_willis: it says theres an update for the installer but nothing happens when i click on it | 01:31 |
| === Guest58540 is now known as generalSherman | ||
| dr_willis | uabn93: cant say ive ever noticed it day that.. this is a 12.10 lubuntu you are using? | 01:31 |

| === robert_ is now known as Guest3791 | ||
| === Guest3791 is now known as defile | ||
| dr_willis | uabn93: 12.10 lubuntu installed fine on my laptop the other day. | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | its possible you got a bad burn to the cd, or the iso file could been bad.. wouldent hurt to double check | 01:33 |
| elisa87 | how to find my mac address? | 01:33 |
| completeIdiot | any one that got an hour of time, to help my out? on private? over vbox? | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | elisa87: ifconfig shoes you elisa87 | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | HWaddr f4:6d:04:9e:90:62 | 01:34 |
| elisa87 | is arp true as well dr_willis ? | 01:34 |
| uabn93 | dr_willis: im doing a usb install. burned it twice, and im on my third install attempt | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | no idea. cant say ive ever had to mess with arp. | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | uabn93: installing to a external usb hd? | 01:35 |
| uabn93 | dang. no, usb stick | 01:35 |
| completeIdiot | dr_willis! i got that too | 01:35 |
| completeIdiot | linux and ntfs - external hd | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | uabn93: theres alternative tools to make a live usb. pendrivelinux web site has several. could be something quirky with how its being made | 01:36 |
| uabn93 | dr_willis: did the new icon theme act funny to you? maybe its this cheap graphics card that im using | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | uabn93: cant say ive noticed any icon issues in lubuntu | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | could be a driver issue also | 01:37 |
| uabn93 | like... the text being too light sometimes. same with the buttons | 01:37 |
| uabn93 | yeah let me try it without the graphics card | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | try some differnt themes perhaps | 01:38 |
| SierraAR | Is lubuntu different from ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| elisa87 | if I want to find the hostname should I only write hostname? or do I need some flags? | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | $ hostname | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | SSDBuntu | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | ;) not like the hostname command ran by a user is going to change your hostname.... | 01:39 |
| SunTsu | elisa87: depends on what you want to see - try it, if it doesn't show you exaktly what you want to see consult the manpage | 01:39 |
| SunTsu | exactly even | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | hostname is shown in the default prompt also. | 01:39 |
| elisa87 | thanks SunTsu | 01:41 |
| uabn93 | dr_willis: found out the error. is says illegal instruction and then quits | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | uabn93: sounds like a nasty crash for some reason | 01:43 |
| elisa87 | can I install win7 over already installed ubuntu 12.04 if my notebook is HP? | 01:46 |
| elisa87 | and with which software do you suggest me to partition my drives? | 01:46 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest15088 | ||
| SierraAR | elisa87, someone suggested to me I use gparted to create a partition and format sade partition to ntfs when I was asking about installing XP | 01:46 |
| SierraAR | s/sade/said* | 01:47 |
| elisa87 | SierraAR How much should I put for win7? If I am about to install Softwares like Matlab out there? | 01:47 |
| SierraAR | elisa87, honestly not sure on the sizing. I'm planning on just splitting my 500GB hd in two - 250 for ubuntu, 250 for xp | 01:48 |
| Geo|N7 | I installed win7 then ubuntu and just used ubuntu to repartition | 01:48 |
| elisa87 | SierraAR so might my Ubuntu get formatted by any chance? which I wish not | 01:49 |
| Geo|N7 | I think I had issues with grub2 but I am a total newb and it was painless | 01:49 |
| Geo|N7 | I think if you install ubuntu and then windows, you're going to have a bad time | 01:49 |
| gonyere | its been a long time since i set up a dual boot system | 01:50 |
| gonyere | but as i recall it was best to install ubuntu and get your partitions worked out | 01:50 |
| Geo|N7 | I believe windows removes grub altogether. | 01:50 |
| three18ti | I'm trying to follow this guid: http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/a-better-way-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-live-usb-drive to make an ubuntu live cd, but the ubuntu 12.10 iso only includes an initrd.lz . do I need to convert this to an initrd.gz or is the lz acceptable to use? Will grub be able to boot the initrd.lz ? | 01:50 |
| gonyere | then install windows on whichever one you want to install it on | 01:50 |
| gonyere | then go back and re-install linux | 01:50 |
| gonyere | also, for linux installs i recommend two partitions: one / and one /home so you can re-install linux whenever you like and not touch your personal files | 01:51 |
| three18ti | this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomizeLiveInitrd has steps to repack it into an initrd.gz, but it says, "or, if you want an initrd.lz (for Ubuntu 9.10 and later):" which would infer that ubuntu > 9.10 needs an initrd.lz . | 01:51 |
| Geo|N7 | I installed windows and then Linux and it worked really well. 12.04 makes partitions cake. | 01:51 |

| SierraAR | s-by-s-HELP-VM, I don't think changing your nick repeatedly is going to help much | 01:52 |
| gonyere | yeah, i don't doubt things have gotten better - its been a solid 6 yrs since i attempted a dual boot system :) | 01:52 |
| escott | three18ti, if grub knows how to extract lzma | 01:53 |
| escott | three18ti, or maybe the kernel extracts the initrd... not sure who unpacks it | 01:53 |
| Geo|N7 | I am almost positive that installing Linux and then windows will result in a migraine. | 01:53 |
| gonyere | dual-boot IME usually results in at least a few screw ups :p | 01:54 |
| three18ti | Geo|N7, is 100% correct. the windows boot loader rewrites the MBR with extreme prejudice. | 01:54 |
| three18ti | escott, yea, that's what I don't know... I assume since I've grabbed the vmliuz from the same cd it -should- work... | 01:55 |
| * three18ti shrugs | 01:55 | |
| three18ti | I guess there's only one way to find out. ;) | 01:55 |

| blackshirt | hello | 01:56 |
| walterwoj | I have a folder (/strorage) that I want to be fully usable by my user and users on the samba share but the permissions are always locking one or the other out how can I fix this? | 01:56 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | hy.. sorry, to bother u.. i need some step-by-step help over Virtual Mashine.. i installed Virtual box, another OS, some extra pack, that was requiered to access HD, but.. still cant access any of HDDs.. i got installed linux ubuntu 12.04 LTS on externall hd, and in that same HD i got ntfs partition that i would like to acces over virtual mashine (win xp) possible on private?? PS: i am total neewbie | 01:57 |
| escott | walterwoj, depends on your configuration. you will have to give examples of files that one can access but not the other | 01:57 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, are you trying to pass a USB hard drive as a raw device to a VM guest? | 01:58 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | am.. wait, need to translate... | 01:58 |
| walterwoj | for example I back up file to the share from my laptop and those files are locked to my local account user, then i create a file locally and the samba users are now denied permissions. I already chmod 777 but that only works until someone creates a file... | 01:59 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | raw, burned, well done... dosent mather.. i just need win xp, to access usb hd -ntfs | 02:00 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, so XP is the guest (running inside VBox) ubuntu is the host | 02:00 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | escott - private? | 02:01 |
| escott | !pm | s-by-s-HELP-VM | 02:01 |
| ubottu | s-by-s-HELP-VM: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 02:01 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, there are two ways i can think to do this. | 02:02 |
| blackshirt | i think you should mount your hd into exPortable share point | 02:02 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | ups.. thanks for notice.. | 02:02 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, 1) let linux handle the USB device and pass the raw device /dev/sdb or the like to windows, or 2) find the usb location with lsusb and pass the USB device to windows. in either case you would do this through the VBox configuration | 02:03 |
| Geothst | I did a memory test, and got no errors. But now I can't open my update manager, or the Ubuntu Software Center. E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list E: The list of sources could not be read. | 02:03 |
| escott | walterwoj, specifics. exact permissions of examples files (ie output of ls -al /path/to/filename | 02:03 |
| Geothst | I can't remove the gnome PPA because I can't open my update manager or the ubuntu software center. They both just crash. | 02:04 |
| Geothst | And if I try to remove it in a terminal it just gives me that error, too. | 02:04 |

| s-by-s-HELP-VM | nice!!! in my own language... thank u, but in home channel.. are sleeping | 02:07 |
| walterwoj | for example file created by the share a owned by root with chmod 700 but files added localy are owned by walterwoj chmod 700 making both inaccessible to the others | 02:07 |
| s-by-s-HELP-VM | escott? | 02:10 |
| escott | walterwoj, did you modify the samba config at all | 02:10 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, im not sure what to tell you. you need to make changes to the Virtual machine configuration in the vbox manager | 02:10 |

| s-by-s-HELP-VM | in my computer... in win xp, is only C:\ and.. thats is it.. no usbs, other hdd | 02:19 |
| Geothst | Don't you have to have 3rd party plugins (closed source) to use USB on VM? I'm pretty sure I remember having this issue as well, and I had to install the closed source version of VM. | 02:19 |
| vanessa | hi.. can someone help me sort out a KMS vs. Radeon (gallium3d/r300g driver) conflict? Resume from suspend-to-ram = black screen unless I disable KMS, but do that and I get knocked down to VESA video. | 02:19 |
| escott | s-by-s-HELP-VM, that would be the easiest then. "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" open the ntfs drive with "nautilus" in ubuntu, and then pass the folder "/media/XXXX-XXXX" to the windows guest with the guest additions | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | s-by-s-HELP-VM: ubuntu can access NTFS partitions, You don't need Windows.. | 02:19 |

| Geothst | Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to remove a PPA when I can't remove it from GUI or CLI? | 02:19 |

| RamchandraApte | Geothst: ofc I am doing that. | 02:21 |

| escott | RamchandraApte, in his case he would have gnome-ppa packages that would override the standard ppa packages | 02:23 |
| three18ti | mmkay. I'm open to ideas on how to make a live usb disk that is a) persistent, b) customizable. liveusb won't work because it doesn't have the flexibility I need. Unfortunately, the instructions I was following seem to be outdated or otherwise incorrect. | 02:23 |
| escott | Geothst, i assume this happened after you upgraded to precise | 02:24 |
| Geothst | Yeah I tried PPA purge and got that output that I just pasteed. $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team-gnome3 | 02:24 |
| Geothst | No, this is a fresh 12.04 install. Unity crashes every 5 minutes so I'm trying to install something that doesn't crash. | 02:24 |
| Geothst | So i can actually do things. Instead of sit here and send in crash logs. | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | Type 'ain' is not known on line 3... sounds like a typo in the file | 02:25 |
| escott | Geothst, clearly not a fresh install if you have a PPA | 02:25 |
| Geothst | Yes. I tried to install gnome3 and now I can't open my package manager to remove it. | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | when in doubt, fall back to the cli tools. | 02:26 |
| axisys | is there a way to find out the dependency pkg without installing the pkg? | 02:26 |
| escott | Geothst, sounds like you got a broken ppa. i haven't kept up with the gnome3 ppa team, but you can just install gnome-shell | 02:26 |
| Geothst | I can't use my package manager at all. | 02:26 |
| Geothst | It says this error every time I do anything. from GUI or CLI. | 02:26 |
| Geothst | Hence my frustration. | 02:27 |
| AR_ | Geothst, it's pretty easy | 02:27 |
| AR_ | what do you want to install | 02:27 |
| Geothst | Anything, at this point. I can't even install .deb files. It gives me this ppa error every time, and then closes. | 02:27 |
| AR_ | sudo apt-get install whatever | 02:28 |
| escott | Geothst, you need to correct the typo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list | 02:28 |
| Geothst | Ubuntu Software Center won't even try to open it all, it immediately gives me this error. | 02:28 |
| Geothst | And then closes. | 02:28 |
| AR_ | dont use GUI | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | looks like its saying theres an error on line 3 of that file... you should be able to just remove that gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list to some other place | 02:28 |
| escott | Geothst, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list | 02:28 |
| Geothst | I already pasted what the CLI error is when I try to use apt-get. I can't use apt-get. | 02:28 |
| AR_ | remove GUI from your computer and enjoy tremendous speed increase | 02:28 |
| escott | Geothst, if you haven't actually installed anything from gnome3 ppa team you can just sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list | 02:28 |
| Geothst | Phew. Finally. We're getting somewhere! | 02:29 |
| AR_ | lol @ topic in #2,000 | 02:29 |
| AR_ | haha | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | err.. dident we say to edit that file and fix it like 20 min ago? ;) | 02:29 |
| Geothst | That worked, escott. Thank you! | 02:29 |
| Geothst | I asked how. I said I'm new and didn't know where the file was. :( | 02:30 |
| kiyoura | looooo | 02:30 |
| AR_ | kiyoura, do you like the topic | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | the error gave the full path to the file.. ;) | 02:30 |
| AR_ | in #2,000 | 02:30 |
| Geothst | Then people just kept telling me to use apt-get on CLI after I had already said I was getting an error with that no matter what I did. | 02:30 |
| AR_ | what is the error | 02:30 |
| Butcho | I'm getting a lot of garbled text in 12.10. Similar to this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/216780/garbled-text-in-terminal-titles-and-other-places-after-upgrade-to-12-10 | 02:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Geothst: can you pastebin the output of: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | about as many times as we said to edit the file and fix the error it seems... :) | 02:32 |
| Geothst | escott fixed it for me. | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: why are you adding the PPA anyway? | 02:32 |
| escott | Geothst, we are trying to be careful not to mess up your system | 02:32 |

| Geothst | It's already been deleted, ActionParsnip. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | Geothst: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop perhaps.. | 02:33 |
| escott | Geothst, if you just remove a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d without giving apt a chance to install the non-ppa versions of the package... that would be bad | 02:33 |
| Geothst | Problem is solved :) | 02:33 |
| tentaclemoose | sorry, i just got so excited about xfce for a moment that i couldn't contain myself | 02:33 |
| Geothst | Yeah but there were no packages installed because it crashed. | 02:33 |
| AR_ | remove all your temporary files in /etc/ | 02:33 |

| dr_willis | Geothst: what relase are you using? | 02:34 |
| AR_ | sudo apt-get install gnome3 | 02:34 |
| Geothst | The file no longer exists, ActionParsnip. I just deleted it. | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: ok cool | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | Geothst: how did you add the ppa? Looks like you or someone did a typo when adding it | 02:34 |
| Geothst | I copied it from a website for "how to install gnome3". | 02:34 |
| tentaclemoose | i think he's sorted it out already | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: if you want the PPA just run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | Geothst: sounds like you made a typo. or the site did.. or a misspaste,, | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:35 |
| Irken | Ubuntu sucks | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | Geothst: so what release of ubuntu are you using? | 02:35 |
| Geothst | All is well now. The file is gone, so I can use apt-get again. | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: your call, those packages are not supported here | 02:35 |
| Geothst | 12.04 | 02:35 |
| AR_ | Irken, this is not the place for trolling | 02:35 |
| Geothst | What is the difference between using a PPA and installing sudo apt-get install gnome3? | 02:35 |
| Irken | On the contrary | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | Geothst: gnome is in the 12.04 repos.. no real need for that ppa | 02:35 |
| Irken | This is the place for trolling | 02:36 |
| NSAgent | Geothst: You can't do it without the ppa | 02:36 |
| Irken | Because Ubuntu sucks | 02:36 |
| NSAgent | Never mind, apparently ;) | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: Precise comes with Gnome3 by default | 02:36 |
| AR_ | Geothst, remove all temporary files in /etc/ and i guarantee it will work | 02:36 |
| escott | !gnome3 | Geothst | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Geothst: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Geothst: it just uses Unity shell, instead of the default Gnome shell which is the 'normal' shell for Gnome 3 | 02:37 |

| SunMoonStar | hi all. I'm at my wit's end trying to install this printer.. I'm on ubuntu 12.10; printer is Dell v725w; i installed the driver and firmware from dell website (http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/dell-v725w-inkjet-printer). I've restarted after having done that.. the printer is not in the printers list.. so I go to add it, it detects it (network printer), but has no good suggestions for device driver.

| ActionParsnip | Geothst: did you upgrade from Precise to Quantal? | 02:39 |
| Geothst | No, this is a brand new 12.04 install. | 02:39 |

| jgspratt | saw nothing. it just went to a brownish background | 02:41 |
| Butcho | ActionParsnip, Nouveau | 02:41 |
| jgspratt | there was no option menu | 02:41 |
| ArkhamP | Why can I not get Xchat to go to the tray? | 02:42 |
| jgspratt | if I click "try ubuntu" I just get a windows desktop | 02:42 |
| Irken | swarfega: are we the only ones with avatars? | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then reboot. Your Intel CPU doesn't have an inbuilt CPU which makes a tonne of issues not happen | 02:42 |
| NSAgent | jgspratt: By that point you're too far, it's at the initial boot screen | 02:42 |

| almoxarife | syntroPi: no idea, but i get the impression now you mix-match packages, good luck | 03:29 |
| VanessaE | is there a command I can run, some program I can install, that will force the screen back on on my laptop after suspend disables it? (black/dead screen on resume. Intel chipset, ATI graphics, Gallium3d driver - old radeon is the same way) | 03:30 |
| alhosni | What is the cause of that problem where the system was functioning normally | 03:30 |
| Butcho | ActionParsnip, tried all the various nvidia drivers. Can't get a working display. my monitor is detected as laptop, everythings huge at 1280x800 resolution, and everything off screen so I can't run anything. | 03:30 |
| syntroPi | almoxarife, yes as i said im really out of ideas since it never works on my box so i try everything i could think of | 03:30 |
| VanessaE | I mean a complete reset of the laptop screen, short of powering off/on the video device (unless that's trivial to do) | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: have you tried tweaking in nvidia-settings | 03:30 |
| Butcho | it tells me I'm not running the driver | 03:31 |
| syntroPi | almoxarife, i even installed the proprietary chrome to try it out | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: sounds liek a cheap screen, not reporting EDID | 03:31 |
| Butcho | works fine in nouveau | 03:31 |
| almoxarife | syntroPi: run a live distro, if it runs flash then you can discount the hardware, that leaves user and system install | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot | 03:31 |
| Butcho | ActionParsnip, it's a apple cinema display 30"... anything but cheap :) | 03:31 |
| keith_ | How can I switch the state of the Fn key? I don't want to press it unless I want to use the media buttons | 03:32 |
| Butcho | ActionParsnip, actually I did... made it worse at 800x600 resolution | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho then it's missing EDID goodness | 03:32 |
| syntroPi | almoxarife, even tried that yet no luck | 03:32 |
| fengxiaolong | my english is very poor,who can give me some advice? | 03:32 |
| fengxiaolong | to improve my english | 03:32 |
| almoxarife | syntroPi: as much as it seems impossible then, your hardware cant handle flash | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: cool, then use: gksudo nvidia-settings and set the res to something and click 'save to X server config' you can then run: gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:33 |
| syntroPi | i just hoped for adobe to cut support for flash for all platforms: web devs wouldnt use that shitty plugin anymore and problem would be solved once and for all time | 03:33 |
| xangua | !language | syntroPi | 03:34 |

| ActionParsnip | syntroPi: it lives on in Chrome :) | 03:34 |
| syntroPi | almoxarife, my previous box with nvidia card didnt work for flash on linux either, seems its just no good combi | 03:34 |
| syntroPi | xangua, sorry im just upset | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Butcho: you can then edit the xorg.conf file manually and setup the screen. Good screens do this all for you. | 03:35 |
| Butcho | ActionParsnip, I'll give it a shot. Hard to do all this at exploded resolutions when everythings off screen | 03:36 |

| dr_willis | syntroPi: there are flash-video-replacer plugins (you will have to google for it) that play flash videos from many sites in VLC or mplayer instead of flash in the browser. | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | syntroPi: or use some of the various flash-downloader plugins | 03:36 |
| syntroPi | ActionParsnip, yes i know but the fullscreen is broken even in the latest chrome dev on my box | 03:37 |
| syntroPi | dr_willis, yes i know of those, ist just feels too crippled to use it like that | 03:38 |
| syntroPi | especially youtube wont support html5 on all its channels (wg those with adds) | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | hmm... not sure what you mean.. not all youtube videos are html5 anyway. | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | The plugins ive beenusing work great on youtube. i even use the plugins on windows. | 03:40 |
| blackness | how would i find every single file ? hidden, or not. | 03:40 |

| syntroPi | almoxarife, dr_willis: which nvidia GPU can you confirm to work with flash, nvidia-current and precise x64 with hw accel out of the box? | 03:41 |
| VanessaE | my black-screen-after-resume issue, if I do (as root), vbetool post - the screen starts working, but it is set to the wrong resolution etc. How do I plug that command into the resume scripts so that it's executed before X attempts to "restore" the screen? | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !rootirc | Guest58258 | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Guest58258: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 03:41 |
| almoxarife | syntroPi: please, leave me out of this | 03:41 |
| syntroPi | ActionParsnip, because the stable has that issue too and i thought maybe they fixed it in dev | 03:41 |

| dr_willis | I doubt if its a GPU vs flash issue... but do what you want ;) | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | syntroPi: did you uninstall all other flash packages etc | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | and i am on 64bit. 12.10 | 03:42 |
| almoxarife | dr_willis: its not, or i would have one sorry experience on the home HTC | 03:42 |

| VanessaE | anyone? | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | VanessaE: are there any bugs reported? | 03:45 |
| almoxarife | ActionParsnip: syntroPi says that a live distro does not run flash on his box, its the box, must be | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | VanessaE: I've seen people report that as soon as you try and wake up, wiggle the mouse | 03:45 |
| syntroPi | ActionParsnip, may i know which GPU works on your box? | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: sounds logoical | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | syntroPi: GeFore 6150 and some mid / low end Intel thing in a Dell Latitude D420 | 03:46 |
| almoxarife | syntroPi: what hardware do you have, besides the nvidia? | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | syntroPi: do you have a switchable video chip? | 03:46 |
| VanessaE | ActionParsnip: multiple bugs across multiple laptops, chipsets, video devices - black/dead screen on resume. But no official solutions. So far if I do "vbetool post" from an ssh session, the screen wakes up but is severely corrupted. xrandr can change resolutions and so forth, but that doesn't help. | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | VanessaE: its a real pain to get nice unles s it works OOTB, personally I don't see the point | 03:47 |
| syntroPi | almoxarife, nope the GPU is the only one on my system it uses intel p55 with core i7 860 | 03:47 |
| VanessaE | in fact right now, aside from the garbled, flickering screen caused by "vbetool post", it's behaving completely normal - a (distorted) mouse pointer, responding to commands by ssh, screensaver, the whole smash. | 03:47 |
| syntroPi | ActionParsnip, nope only that gt240 | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | syntroPi: yes, the core i7 860 doesn't have an inbuilt GPU :) | 03:48 |
| linkrules | hi guys | 03:50 |
| blackness | ive never seen a CPU with a GPU built in.. | 03:51 |
| ripps | syntroPi: nouveau doesn't work with nvidia gt 240, specifically the the models that use gddr5 memory. I have one and the nouveau devs know it doesn't work, but they don't know why, and don't seem to be that interested in figuring it out at the moment | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: ivybridge and sandybridge not ring any bells? | 03:52 |
| blackness | yeah.. | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: those have INtel GPUs built in them | 03:53 |
| syntroPi | ripps, yes i read tons of bug reports about it, and my card uses gddr5 1gb, i think i will have to buy a new GPU but i just dont know which one ... | 03:53 |
| ripps | syntroPi: what's wrong with the proprietary drivers? | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: its where this optimus mess comes from, one of those plus an nvidia gpu = optimus = headache in linux | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | i find its often worth while to stick with the hardware thats older from like a year ago. ;) | 03:54 |
| blackness | dr_willis, i agree...i NEVER buy something fresh off the line..always 6+months min. | 03:55 |
| syntroPi | ripps, flash is wrong the rest works pretty fine (vdpau and such), but sometimes x had some bugs too | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | plus its cheaper. ;) | 03:56 |
| ripps | syntroPi: hmmm... i use flash all the time, seems to work fine for me | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: by a large amount too | 03:56 |
| syntroPi | ripps, on wich GPU? | 03:56 |
| blackness | i dont understand, i installed ubuntu 11.10, installed python, perl, lighttpd, no X and its still using 15GB of space. | 03:56 |

| frederick | ActionParsnip,how could i add to the bug? | 04:10 |
| syntroPi | ripps, im not sure if its a faulty silicon works fine in windows, just suspect it has some weird bits in the vbios or such. I will try to use it with the gnome 3 on precise or quantal since compiz seems also to be known to cause problems with flash | 04:11 |

| blackness | veryhappy, i dont understand your question. | 04:19 |

| blackness | yeah i noticed that, but i didnt even notice, or think this.. | 04:20 |
| escott | veryhappy, depends. if you have mdadm/lvm/luks/dmraid/btrfs then a separate /boot is needed | 04:20 |
| blackness | s/this/that | 04:20 |
| escott | veryhappy, although maybe not for btrfs these days | 04:20 |
| blackness | escott, you need a separate /boot for a encrypted OS? | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | If you want to get Fancy - you can have a big /boot/ partition and keep ISO files in it.. and set up grub2 to boot the ISO files.. for really really fast install/reinstalls ;) or fast booting of a live cd iso | 04:20 |
| escott | blackness, perhaps not. i dont know i dont bother with encryption | 04:21 |

| ActionParsnip | corvaxia: not sure on MacOS. I'd assume so, Ubuntu definately can | 04:39 |
| blackness | morphias, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7272849&postcount=6 | 04:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | blackness, you mean you can't have a source deb? | 04:39 |
| blackness | no..if he wrote a program, and wants to build a deb for it, he has to compile the program (binary) and do sudo checkinstall after make. | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | blackness: doesn't checkinstall need a make file? | 04:40 |
| blackness | yes ActionParsnip | 04:40 |
| morphias | blackness, i am not using any make scripts. i just used g++ to compile something simple | 04:40 |
| blackness | then you'll need alien i believe..lemme look around | 04:41 |
| morphias | blackness, thus i see other projects that have make scripts and the such and i am lost on that part. | 04:41 |
| morphias | lol | 04:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | morphias, you don't know about make? | 04:42 |
| morphias | Seven_Six_Two, i have seen make when i compile other peoples projects but i never implemented my own ./configure make on a project | 04:42 |
| morphias | i only learned how to make a C++ file and compile it so far. | 04:42 |

| Seven_Six_Two | morphias, this isn't directly related to Ubunut, but a make file will make compiling your code infinitely easier when you get more than one file. | 04:44 |

| SpecialEd | Hey guys, I currently have an openvz hosted VPS Ubuntu 12.04lts server x64 machine that I'd like to migrate to my other VirtualBox host. Is there a way to migrate openvz to vbox? | 05:01 |
| Gyro54 | After upgrading Xubuntu Thunderbird has lost all the default applications for attachments. | 05:01 |
| chuxxsss | http://pastebin.com/VfS4cDpe ActionParsnip has just stopped. | 05:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, you could use dd to make images of the partitions, then use dd to restore them to new machine | 05:02 |
| Gyro54 | How can I find each application in the files? | 05:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, you likely only need /home /var /etc | 05:02 |
| morphias | blackness, oh wow i think i got it to work man... thank you | 05:02 |
| SpecialEd | 762: OK I'l look into that then, i do need more than /home /var and /etc tho | 05:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, that should be fine, I just mean that you're probably better off starting from an install, and then restoring everything else. | 05:03 |
| SpecialEd | well its a complicated LAMP stack | 05:04 |
| SpecialEd | so to go back through all the various installation configurations could really be a bummer | 05:04 |
| SpecialEd | lol | 05:04 |
| SpecialEd | but dd sounds very attractive to me | 05:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, most of the config should be in /etc | 05:04 |
| SpecialEd | yeah should be the key word :) | 05:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, /etc/php5/apache2 /etc/apache2 /etc/mysql -- your configs are spread around? | 05:05 |
| SpecialEd | theres css and configs for the CMS installed in /var/www and theres apachesolr and others | 05:06 |
| SpecialEd | actually clonezilla looks interesting | 05:07 |
| SpecialEd | I used to work for a data backup company where we did P2V conversions (windows to VirtualBox VM) every 5 minutes | 05:07 |
| Gyro54 | I use Clonzilla and it works great | 05:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SpecialEd, Amanda is another good one. It depends on your specific needs, really | 05:07 |
| SpecialEd | which we stored in ubuntu hosts with zfs | 05:07 |
| SpecialEd | well i dont have gui, as long as i can do what i need from terminal then im all good:) | 05:08 |
| WeThePeople | i 'upgraded' to natty kernel now software wont install, is this common with a kernel upgrade? | 05:08 |
| SpecialEd | will clonezilla/amanda make a VDI or any type of hard drive image file? | 05:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, what "software"? | 05:08 |
| WeThePeople | gimp | 05:09 |
| SpecialEd | WeThePeople: Did you update the /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 05:09 |
| WeThePeople | and alot other | 05:09 |
| WeThePeople | no | 05:09 |
| SpecialEd | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 05:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, you need to update and upgrade | 05:09 |
| SpecialEd | Does that get errors? | 05:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, where did the kernel come from? | 05:09 |
| SpecialEd | like 762 said, run the command I gave above with root and u should be good to go | 05:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, reboot too. | 05:12 |
| VanessaE | so, how do I re-initialize the screen from a script? I mean force the kernel or X or whatever to go through their normal startup/screen init routines? | 05:13 |
| WeThePeople | sevin_six_two, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1371795/ | 05:14 |
| WeThePeople | seven_six_two, ^^^ | 05:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:15 |
| Gyro54 | SpecialEd: Clonezilla can save as a file and run from the terminal | 05:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:16 |
| rgenito | i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such? | 05:16 |
| WeThePeople | no dist-upgrade | 05:16 |
| WeThePeople | i dont like the new dist layout | 05:16 |
| WeThePeople | im on lucid | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: Unless you want to restart X, you don't. What problem are you actually trying to solve? | 05:16 |
| SpecialEd | Gyro54: Thanks | 05:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, why would you be on lucid? | 05:18 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: When I resume from suspend, the screen is dead - black, no mouse - but the machine is alive and well. I can ssh in, issue commands, the whole bit. My only success thus far has been 'vbetool post', which wakes the screen up, gives me a slightly distorted mouse pointer which moves, and a completely garbled, flickering display. | 05:18 |
| Savage_CL | yes? | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: Are you using open source or proprietary graphics drivers? | 05:18 |
| rgenito | WHAT! Seven_Six_Two ... you did NOT just answer my question before i asked...did you? @_@ | 05:18 |
| rgenito | ;) | 05:18 |
| VanessaE | so I can turn the video back on with a command, but I can't figure out how to properly re-initialize it, so that I can just plug the appropriate commands into the power manager's setting. | 05:18 |
| WeThePeople | seven_six_two, i found a way to easily make my broadcom device work ie. upgrading to natty kernel | 05:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, are you trying to install from the old-releases.ubuntu.com server? | 05:19 |
| grendal | ok back to the problem from today. Ntp in a kvm environment | 05:19 |
| VanessaE | I'm using the gallium3d driver, but this also happens with the old default radeon driver. No proprietary on the affected machine. | 05:19 |
| grendal | this is making me crazy | 05:19 |
| rgenito | i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such? | 05:19 |
| grendal | er | 05:19 |
| SwedeMike | rgenito: with a network connection, yes. | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: If you ctrl+alt+F1 (to get to a text console) is that also garbled? | 05:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rgenito, sudo upgrade-manager -d | 05:19 |
| rgenito | SwedeMike, sweet :) | 05:19 |
| WeThePeople | seven_six_two, no from soft center | 05:19 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: yes. | 05:19 |
| rgenito | SwedeMike, how so? as Seven_Six_Two says? sudo upgrade-manager -d ? | 05:20 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: Please file a bug report (if one hasn't been filed already). | 05:20 |
| VanessaE | the appearance changes from one console to another - the one on which X is running shows a garbled version of X's display. | 05:20 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: where? against what package? | 05:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WeThePeople, but that is an EOL distro, so the update servers have changed. | 05:20 |
| SwedeMike | rgenito: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade | 05:21 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: this sort of problem (dead screen on resume) has been reported by others across multiple video devices and system chipsets. No one has come forward with a solution. | 05:21 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rgenito, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo update-manager -d | 05:21 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: so I am attempting to create a workaround that at least works on the affected laptop. | 05:21 |
| rgenito | SwedeMike, sweet! thanks :) | 05:22 |
| rgenito | and thank you as well Seven_Six_Two ! :) | 05:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rgenito, I didn't realize that there was a web walkthrough. | 05:23 |
| === iamzim is now known as Guest77910 | ||
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: a point of note: If I disable KMS, I can suspend/resume without any issue at all - except then gallium3d gets disabled and I'm dropped back to VESA mode. | 05:24 |

| VanessaE | Savage_CL: *random highlight* | 05:25 |
| VanessaE | ;) | 05:25 |
| rgenito | awww man, that web walkthrough sucks | 05:25 |
| Savage_CL | Nah, Jordan highlights me | 05:25 |
| rgenito | ....i dont get the same prompt >[ | 05:25 |
| Savage_CL | now, can someone type something like Jordan_a | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: It's a KMS driver, so the code is technically in kernel, so in that sense I would say against linux, but you'll probably get better debug info from "ubuntu-bug xorg" so do that instead. | 05:25 |
| rgenito | looks like i'll do Seven_Six_Two's method! | 05:25 |
| Savage_CL | I wish to test if I fixed it | 05:25 |
| VanessaE | ok. | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | VanessaE: Thanks. | 05:25 |
| Savage_CL | Jordan_U can you say your own nick, for me? | 05:26 |
| moose-machine | hi. i am installing a game using the .sh extention using the terminal. the installer shows the default installation location as my home folder; however i don't want it to save it there? Do you have any idea where usually are games saved by default, when running a .deb package? is it in /etc or in /usr or /var? thanks. | 05:26 |
| Savage_CL | usually it's in /usr/ | 05:26 |
| Savage_CL | but it depends on the package | 05:26 |
| superfake123 | is there a ppa for chromium stable that is actually staying current? | 05:26 |
| VanessaE | I suggest /usr/local actually. | 05:26 |
| Jordan_U | Savage_CL: For testing things please join #test. | 05:26 |
| VanessaE | (I've always installed stuff to there if it didn't come from the repositories) | 05:27 |
| Savage_CL | All I need is for someone to say your nick again | 05:27 |
| VanessaE | Jordan_U: *jordan's nick* | 05:27 |
| VanessaE | there. :) | 05:27 |
| Savage_CL | that's not fun. that highlights me. | 05:27 |
| VanessaE | odd | 05:27 |
| Savage_CL | because you used my name | 05:27 |
| Savage_CL | (I am Jordan) | 05:28 |
| VanessaE | ah | 05:28 |
| moose-machine | VanessaE: that's great. I noticed that /usrlocal/games has a previous installation. thanks a lot. I will save it there. :) | 05:28 |
| VanessaE | moose-machine: no promises :-) I'm just used to using that path for non-default stuff. | 05:28 |

| jquip | Hallo, I have ubuntu 12.04 on a usb for installing it on a machine... Thing is machine is UEFI enabled, while the usb only has grub in the boot folder.... I want to boot the machine using UEFI enabled... | 06:16 |

| dr_willis | SpecialEd: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 (to make a clone) | 06:16 |
| SpecialEd | dr_willis: I am just trying to use dd to make a disk image of my VM's hard drive. I do not have access to the host, just the guest | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: The if argument needs to be a file or a block device, not a directory. | 06:16 |
| SpecialEd | its a vm so there isn't /dev/sda1 | 06:16 |
| Akiva | dr_willis: ghanks ill give that a try | 06:16 |
| SpecialEd | ./dev/simfs 200G 34G 167G 17% / | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: your use of / is wrong. You dont dd a path like that. | 06:17 |
| g00053 | hello how do I manage lvm partitions ? I see gparted can't do it | 06:17 |
| SpecialEd | thats what i get from df -h | 06:17 |

| me2ersh | Hi All, Gnome shell is eating my processor, any ideas ? | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: or to image to a file... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/somemountedpartiothatisnotsda1/file.image | 06:17 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: I understand it operates at the block level, but when I do /dev/simfs I get this (in bold): dd: opening `/dev/simfs': Operation not permitted | 06:17 |

| SilvereX | me2ersh, stick your finger down its throat and make it regurgitate it | 06:18 |
| SpecialEd | Description:Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: where are you putting the image at then? | 06:18 |
| tjmehta | Jordan_U : building a service create live (editable) server-side code examples in the browser, right now the server holds ssh connections with all of the sandboxes hosting code | 06:18 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, when i print the usage, it says 350% ! | 06:18 |
| SpecialEd | dr_willis: to my new hosted dedicated server where I can have better control | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Please pastebin the output of "mount". | 06:19 |
| SpecialEd | ./dev/simfs 200G 34G 167G 17% / | 06:19 |
| SpecialEd | thats the only line that matters on mount command, the rest is normal /dev /run /run/lock and /run/shm | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: so you need to dd through a sshtunle/pipe to a different machine? | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | ive never heard of a simfs so no idea on that. | 06:20 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Please follow my directions, I'd like to see the complete output of the command "mount", no more, less, or different. | 06:20 |
| SpecialEd | dr_willis: if i can have it write the dd to the same disk no, if i can't then yes i'll rsync through ssh tunnel | 06:20 |
| SilvereX | me2ersh, try killing the gdl_box process | 06:20 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: And please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com . | 06:20 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: Sure thing, it won't be any different than what I just told you though :) | 06:20 |
| SilvereX | And remove the gdl package as it's not supported | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: that would be recursive.. and you dont want to image a filesystem thats getting written to | 06:20 |
| SpecialEd | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371853/ | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | SpecialEd: a different partion/filesystem on the disk may work | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Please follow my instructions exactly. I asked you for the output of "mount". | 06:21 |
| SpecialEd | dr_willis: I agree but Windows does it all the time with Shadow Copies... | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | this isent windows.. and dd is a very low level tool. | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | filezilla perhaps could do it | 06:22 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: my bad, here ya go: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371855/ | 06:22 |
| SpecialEd | dd works at the same level as windows shadow copies, block level | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | dd also dosent trim out empty space either.. a 100gb hd will make a 100gb image.. even if its 1% used | 06:22 |
| SpecialEd | but its either here nor there and windows is crap, ecspecially windows 8 | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: You have a very odd configuration because this is a hosted container, not a default Ubuntu install. | 06:24 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: yeah, as soon as I am done with this I'm gonna kiss that host good-bye | 06:25 |
| SilvereX | Hey guys, I'm trying to play TF2 on steam for linux, but I get an error that I need to update openGL | 06:25 |
| SilvereX | I've tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but it didn't help | 06:25 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, did that, nothing changed. I also have a blinking cursor on the screen, like there is an invisible terminal. may be this is the reason ? | 06:26 |
| qtip | me2ersh: does it look like this: http://i.imgur.com/xUMKv.jpg ?? | 06:27 |
| rawfodog | I'm using the SHARED CONNECTION setting in network manager. Im sucking in wifi to computer a, and sharing it to another computer via the eth0 port. This works with my laptop running fedora, but when I plug it into other devices it doesn't work. I was curious if this is distro/windows manager specific or not. The other machine is yellow dog linux on an old mac g4. | 06:27 |
| SilvereX | me2ershm are you using mutter, compiz or metacity? | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: There is no real block device associated with symfs, it just maps files in your container to files in the host's filesystem. To do a block level copy you'd need to be able to access the host's hard drive (which also contains the files for all of the other containers on that machine). | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: In other words, dd is not an option for you. | 06:29 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: OK that makes more sense to me now, I'm not familiar with SimFS. Basically I'm trying to move files from a OpenVZ VPS system to my dedicated server where I have created a Guest VirtualBox VM (All machines are Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server x64). Should I just rsync / to / ? | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | sounds like a job for TAR! | 06:29 |
| SpecialEd | just like a V2V conversion | 06:29 |
| SpecialEd | or maybe scp / to / ? | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: You can do that, just know that there are probably a lot of configuration files that contain settings specific to OpenVZ containers, since that's what the system you're using now is. | 06:30 |
| SpecialEd | think I should try asking my hosting company if they can create an ISO of the OpenVZ server for me? | 06:31 |
| SpecialEd | i mean | 06:31 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: rsync is the way to go, if you really want to copy everything. Though after the rsync your new "copied" system will probably fail to boot until you remove the OpenVZ specific stuffs. | 06:31 |
| SpecialEd | not hte openvz server, but my guest but have them create is for me from their server | 06:31 |
| SpecialEd | wow | 06:32 |
| SpecialEd | just ignore the last 2 things i typed, makes no sense, let me repeat | 06:32 |
| SpecialEd | sorry | 06:32 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, no, i am getting you a video of it now | 06:32 |
| Jordan_U | jquip: How did you put 12.04 on the USB? | 06:33 |
| SpecialEd | Jordan_U: Could I ask my hosting company to go onto their OpenVZ server and create a raw disk image of my VPS server for me? | 06:33 |
| blackshirt | specialed, lxc was great and in kernel solutions | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: There is no raw disk to image, your container is just a collection of files in a directory. | 06:33 |
| === ddee is now known as _dd | ||
| SpecialEd | ahhh, so its really a pseudo vm then | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | SpecialEd: Exactly. | 06:34 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y70BIb3BuJI this is what I see. this blinking thing is always there | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | Pesudo Virtual ;) | 06:34 |
| SpecialEd | closer to a type 1 hypervisor but guests are shared | 06:34 |
| SpecialEd | wow, I really hate my old hosting company now, why would they use OpenVZ when there are FAR better solutions for selling VPS such as VirtualBox? | 06:35 |
| qtip | me2ersh: I have that sometimes; it goes away if I reboot | 06:35 |
| SilvereX | me2ersh, Yeah, I was just about to suggest rebooting | 06:35 |
| blackshirt | far better ? Not always | 06:35 |
| me2ersh | qtip, SilvereX I rebooted many times, it never goes, and since it appeared, gnome-shell is eating the processor | 06:36 |
| SpecialEd | why not use vbox then? | 06:36 |
| qtip | me2ersh: wow, mine went away | 06:36 |
| qtip | try ctrl+alt+f1 | 06:36 |
| blackshirt | specialed, there are some benefit on lightweight / para virtualisation like openvz or lxc compared to vbox or similar | 06:37 |
| qtip | and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back | 06:37 |
| qtip | that's the console that is showing up on mine | 06:37 |

| Bustacap | Hey, will I be able to completely replace all of fedora by booting into ubuntu using unetbootin? | 06:38 |
| Bustacap | I'm out of blank dvd's :/ | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | Bustacap: Yes. | 06:39 |
| me2ersh | exit | 06:39 |
| the_dark_knight | blackshirt: so what is the problem? | 06:39 |
| blackshirt | just a warning | 06:39 |
| qtip | the_dark_knight: you're binding to the wrong ip probably | 06:39 |
| blackshirt | Check if your apache was started | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | jquip: If you're still trying to boot via UEFI tomorrow I can help you then. | 06:40 |
| Bustacap | jordan, but using unetbootin adds it onto a section of the hard drive. How can I format the hard drive if I'm running the os off of it? Or does it boot it into the ram from the files on the hard drive? | 06:40 |
| jquip | Jordan_U: aww shucks thanks... | 06:40 |
| Savage_CL | bustacap you've been on Swift | 06:40 |
| Savage_CL | don't use unetbootin | 06:40 |
| the_dark_knight | qtip: I have 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. but then why does it say 127.0.1.1 in the warning. | 06:41 |
| Bustacap | Savage_CL, ? | 06:41 |
| Savage_CL | shrink your current partition (with a gparted live cd) | 06:41 |
| the_dark_knight | qtip: no I didn't try 0.0.0.0 | 06:41 |
| Savage_CL | create a new one | 06:41 |
| Savage_CL | done | 06:41 |
| Bustacap | I don't have anymore blank cd's or dvd's or a flash drive lol | 06:41 |
| jquip | I just have to get this done right now!! Boss told me to install it : Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download | 06:41 |
| Bustacap | What would be the problem with unetbootin? | 06:42 |
| jquip | Jordan_U: that links seems okay??? | 06:42 |
| Savage_CL | nothing | 06:42 |
| Bustacap | Does unetbootin boot the files into ram? | 06:43 |
| jquip | Jordan_U: Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download .. . The guy behind it: Yannubuntu, he's the one who filed the bug report that UEFI booting doesnt work well with 32 bit ubuntu images | 06:43 |
| qtip | me2ersh: any luck? | 06:43 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, qtip rebooting and switching to a previous kernel fixed it | 06:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Bustacap, it puts an iso on to usb for later booting | 06:44 |
| Bustacap | Seven_Six_Two, there is a hard drive mode | 06:44 |
| the_dark_knight | qtip: nslookup gave some output. | 06:45 |
| me2ersh | SilvereX, qtip thanks for ur time :) | 06:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Bustacap, what's harddrive mode? | 06:45 |
| SilvereX | me2ersh, No worries mang | 06:45 |
| Bustacap | Seven_Six_Two, it's a mode of unetbootin to boot an iso from a hard drive if you don't have a usb drive.. | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: grub2 can do that - if you set it up right. :) | 06:46 |
| SilvereX | Whenever I try to launch TF2 from the steam linux beta client it says "Required OpenGL extension "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode" is not supported. Please update your OpenGL driver. | 06:46 |
| SilvereX | How would I go about doing that? | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | but if you try to partion the hd the iso is on.. well.. that may get tricky | 06:46 |
| the_dark_knight | qtip: http://www.bpaste.net/raw/RRbQIMlBvVkheg3gS1k4/ | 06:46 |
| jquip | Jordan_U : So I'm guessing he created the boot with UEFI successfully... 64-bit was recommended but ..my machine is 32-bit.. so i'mma try the 32, then the 64 bit image from the same site... Good idea??? | 06:46 |
| Bustacap | Ok, well I'm trying to get ubutu installed and replace fedora without a blank cd, dvd, or usb, | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: do you have a seperate /boot/ partition? | 06:47 |
| Bustacap | And I'm impatient, and like a challenge :P | 06:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SilvereX, you need a new video driver. If your driver was automatically installed, it is likely not supported yet. | 06:47 |
| Bustacap | dr_willis, nope. | 06:47 |
| Bustacap | I don't think so., | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: or any extra partions that are ext2/3/4 and not in a lvm or any other weirdness. ;) | 06:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | SilvereX, the option is likely not supported yet. Linux drivers are quite a bit behind the Windows ones. ATI and NV aren't super helpful. | 06:47 |
| SilvereX | Seven_Six_Two, I tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but they're notorious for being broken | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: if so.. you could set up grub2 on Freora to boot the iso file. | 06:48 |
| Bustacap | dr_willis, my only parition is fedora | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | Bustacap: you could resize it i guess... | 06:48 |
| Bustacap | I'd still need a live cd of some sort for that | 06:48 |
| vas01 | Hey Everyone, | 06:48 |
| vas01 | I am currently conducting an internet usage survey for one of my university courses. | 06:48 |

| Bustacap | Eh unless I unetbootin gparted live | 06:48 |
| Bustacap | Then shrink | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | i thought fedora used lvm or somthing by default. ;) but i dont use it.. I have set up grub2 on ubuntu to boot an iso file from a differnt disk/partition and was able to install from ISO to the rest of the hd that way. | 06:49 |
| RamchandraApte | vas01: please use #ubuntu-discuss so discuss about ubuntu | 06:49 |

| grendal | getting past together | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | jquip: It may be a 32 bit Windows installation, but you probably have a 64 bit CPU and 64 bit UEFI firmware. | 07:40 |
| jquip | but but.. its windows??? | 07:40 |
| jquip | how would it be so smart to allow that?? | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | jquip: What is the model of the computer you're using? | 07:41 |
| jquip | Jordan_U : erm... 32-bit I still think -> Atom CPU | 07:41 |
| almoxarife | jquip: i bought a lappy with 32bit win, then i found out i had a 64bit machine by accident | 07:42 |
| jquip | almoxarife: hoo boy ain't you lucky!! | 07:42 |
| jquip | okay... so there's good reason to check with 64-bit linux instead.. | 07:43 |
| grendal | almox | 07:43 |
| grendal | almoxarife, http://pastebin.com/SHHj3XUi | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | jquip: There are 64 bit Atom CPUs, but yest that does make it seem more likely to be 32 bit while still having UEFI. I really do need to leave now though. If you're lucky then you have a 64 bit machine, and the easiest thing to do is th burn the standard 64 bit Ubuntu iso to a CD/DVD and boot from that (note those were very specific instructions, and every part of them is important). | 07:43 |
| jquip | Valid point ! Jordan_U take care eh! Thanks! Cheers.. | 07:44 |
| jquip | I'll try both.. 32 at first | 07:45 |
| jquip | cause its downloaded already... | 07:45 |

| vthakkar | I have a parent process which periodically does wait() and terminates when the child process exits and returns it's status | 09:08 |

| ioneye | Is there someone who can tell me if my pc specs can fully support Ubuntu 12.10? | 10:58 |
| agu10^ | ioneye, they can | 10:58 |
| ioneye | Here are some of the basic specs: http://pastebin.com/nRhVsZpM | 10:59 |
| cairne | if you can't run full ubuntu 12.10 you might have good luck with xfce spin or lxde spin if your resources are minor | 10:59 |
| cairne | since my laptop has way less specs then that and runs ubuntu just fine, you will be just fine | 11:00 |
| yvesD | this will run just fine. not shure which driver for the AMD graphics card you need. you will find it in wiki | 11:00 |
| ioneye | I use to have an Nvidia 7400 and the screen was flickering. Thats why i am asking. If i am going to have any problems mainly regarding the ATI drivers or something familiar | 11:01 |
| ioneye | Edit: I used to have* | 11:01 |
| cairne | you have to play around, either the propetiary drivers or not, find which one works for you | 11:02 |
| cairne | I have a low end nvidia card and it handles unity way better then my ati card did | 11:02 |
| ioneye | Thats what i am trying to avoid. Playing around. Installing and Unistalling a whole operating system. | 11:02 |
| cairne | just the drivers not whole operating system | 11:02 |
| ioneye | Yeah but if the drivers are not able to support my graphic card then what other solution do i have besides trying something different. | 11:03 |
| cairne | ioneye: you could try a live distro or on a usb stick | 11:03 |
| ioneye | Good point. Thats something i didn't think of. | 11:04 |
| cairne | drivers are just something you got to get use to, even with windows, you have to install and setup drivers to get graphics cards to work at peak performance | 11:05 |
| ioneye | Well, in windows for example things are pretty straight forward. Download the latest drivers for the coresponding graphic card and you are done. | 11:07 |
| ioneye | Anyway, i am going to do what you suggested. Install it on a flash driver and mess around | 11:07 |
| yvesD | unetbootin? | 11:09 |
| cairne | ubuntu makes it pretty straight forward too, when you go into system there is a graphic that looks like a graphic card and says additional drivers, click on that and it will recomend the drivers for you | 11:09 |
| riqdiiz | Hi all what code can I input on a batch that launches a GUI program that requires a 'yes' or a 'no' to complete a task? | 11:11 |
| cairne | riqdiiz: graphicly you have to push yes? or is it an argument that you can pass at cli? | 11:13 |
| riqdiiz | Yes.but I want the script to do the push.what code Do I give? | 11:16 |
| btral | hi | 11:17 |
| MonkeyDust | riqdiiz guess it depends on the command, some have -y you can add | 11:17 |

| cairne | is it possible to interact with a gui with the cli? i would think once it ran with whatever arguments you pass at calling that would be it right? | 11:21 |

There are options like "Open in Firefox" and some others (can't remember and at the moment it does not seem to pop up...). Anyhow, this must be a Ubuntu thing, not Firefox-specific.

| Xeli | auronandace: ah no, I made a /etc/apt/preferences file which only allows explicit installs of the proposed repo, I've removed it now but dist-upgrade will install a lot of packages, can I choose to install wpasupplicant? | 14:00 |
| drag0nius | thanasakos what u need? | 14:00 |
| noobatlife | oh] | 14:00 |
| auronandace | Xeli: no idea sorry, i keep only the normal repos | 14:00 |

| vrajesh | yvesD: Yes, what I can say for sure is the problem is with kernel only. | 14:32 |

| Pici | There is no alternate as of 12.10. | 14:40 |
| yvesD | right | 14:40 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust...not a rant...just a report of facts with broken software...linux keeps breaking everything | 14:40 |
| MonkeyDust | georgeph then report it somewhere, this is the support channel | 14:41 |
| yvesD | *detects predujice | 14:41 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust...well nice to know there is a support channel but how do they expect to support the broken packages | 14:41 |
| vrajesh | yvesD: I will try the text installer, and be back later... | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | georgeph better start from the beginning, what were you doing and when did things go wrong | 14:42 |
| AlanBell | georgeph: blender installs and runs for me, gnome-media-player segfaults, supertuxcart installs and runs | 14:43 |
| BehindPenguin | hello | 14:44 |
| georgeph | Monkey well i finally found a way to change the default drivers in x...so i got glxgears running on the ati...so then i decided to see if supertuxkart would work...it did until i installed restricted stuff...which took out the avcodec libs...and supertuxkart quit working | 14:44 |
| simplew | my mouse stops working sometimes, is there any problem related to this? | 14:44 |
| yvesD | simplew: what mouse? wireless? | 14:44 |
| MonkeyDust | georgeph sounds like a ATI problem, then | 14:45 |
| eric_ | ok maybe xchat and no indicator | 14:45 |
| simplew | yvesD: no, usb mouse | 14:45 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust...well could be..it is just hard to tell | 14:45 |
| eric_ | bbl | 14:45 |
| yvesD | simplew: so its cable? does lsusb tell it is connected? | 14:45 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust ...at least some games do work like the 3d psemu stuff like final fantasy and legend of dragoon | 14:46 |
| simplew | yvesD: it does | 14:46 |

| simplew | yvesD: it does not, sorry | 14:46 |
| yvesD | simplew: here you go | 14:46 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust...but losing supertuxkart was a real loss just like blender | 14:46 |
| simplew | yvesD: here i go on what? | 14:46 |
| yvesD | simplew: if it is not connected, it cannot work | 14:47 |
| AlanBell | the others look like faults with your configuration rather than things Ubuntu has messed up the packaging of. You can report it with ubuntu-bug blender if you want | 14:47 |
| georgeph | MonkeyDust especially since blender is getting some elementary sterioscopic rendering | 14:47 |
| simplew | yvesD: but the cable is connected | 14:47 |
| yvesD | simplew: shure. but something is wrong with the connection, otherwise lsusb would show it | 14:47 |
| MonkeyDust | georgeph don't forget to read useful posts that are adressed to you | 14:48 |

| sumanth | geogreph, there is no x11 conf | 15:11 |

| Toph2 | my comuter hangs almost daily , running 12,04. Can someone direct me to a log that indicates what is happening, please? | 15:41 |
| sdasda | Thank you,,, well it was an ntfs filesystem | 15:41 |
| x7fffffff_ | Thank you boichev, however installing isnt the issue, im trying to find out where the xorg configuration is stored on 12.10 | 15:42 |
| RamchandraApte | x7fffffff_: use locate command to search the entire filesystem instantly | 15:42 |
| georgeph | sdasda well for woking with ntfs stuff.you can try backtrak5linux...it has some ntfs-3 stuff | 15:42 |
| boichev | x7fffffff_, I think if there is no such file you just can make one | 15:42 |
| sdasda | thanks | 15:42 |
| RamchandraApte | boichev: no | 15:42 |
| RamchandraApte | boichev: the config files are stored in a dir | 15:42 |
| x7fffffff_ | I tried making one but it doesnt get read... guessing its using a config file other than xorg.conf | 15:43 |
| RamchandraApte | x7fffffff_: yes | 15:43 |
| RamchandraApte | x7fffffff_: ubuntu uses a dir for the xorg config files | 15:43 |
| boichev | RamchandraApte, x7fffffff_ my bad :) | 15:44 |

| mr_lou | I'm finding myself in need of buying some semi-great graphics-card, since my computer is too slow for semi-advanced video-editing. But I have bad experience with installing a graphicscard on a running Linux system, where as there'd be no problem if I'd install the graphicscard first and then install Linux..... But I'd rather not have to install Ubuntu and all my programs all over again, so my question is; is there any particular graphicscar | 15:52 |
| mr_lou | d I'll have more luck with on a running Ubuntu system? | 15:52 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: which graphics card do you currently have? | 15:53 |
| mr_lou | RamchandraApte, Have no idea. Some not-so-spectacular onboard one. | 15:53 |
| mr_lou | RamchandraApte, It's using Nvidia drivers though. | 15:53 |
| escott | mr_lou, not sure how a graphics card is going to help that much with video editing | 15:53 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: my integrated Intel HD works quite well with Blender | 15:53 |
| mr_lou | escott, Local computershop dude says it will. | 15:54 |
| mr_lou | escott, What would you recommend then? | 15:54 |
| Laedn | so as far as i understand, journalling only help if the system hangs up and bust be hard-resetted, or if the is a power outage. Is it really all that? | 15:54 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: more memory and a good CPU and a good GPU | 15:54 |
| georgeph | Ramch...man you are lucky...the only way i currently have blender working is with nvidia on windows...but i would like to get it working with ati on linux | 15:54 |
| mr_lou | RamchandraApte, My current one also works fine, except when I start adding various filters and whatnot on my videoclips, then it becomes slow. | 15:54 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: with what? | 15:54 |
| mr_lou | RamchandraApte, I'm using Kdenlive. | 15:54 |
| escott | mr_lou, yes the cards can accelerate decode, but.... that requires driver and program support and the drivers coming from AMD/NVIDIA have never been particularly good wrt those additional features so the programs were never written to take advantage of it | 15:55 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: when you are rendering it in the highest settings? | 15:55 |
| mr_lou | RamchandraApte, No, just playing back in the program. | 15:55 |
| escott | Laedn, yes | 15:55 |
| RamchandraApte | mr_lou: give the output of lspci|grep VGA | 15:55 |

| theadmin | teratoma: Use "pptpsetup" to configure the connection and "pon connection-name" to connect. | 16:55 |
| llutz | teratoma: and you want to ask your it-profs why they still use pptp... | 16:56 |
| escott | !ppc | ChristopherAlan | 16:56 |

| escott | ChristopherAlan, i realize thats probably not helpful | 16:56 |
| teratoma | thanks. i have no control over the terrible VPN! | 16:56 |

| escott | !ntfs | mllie also check this. you probably want to setup the ntfs-3g driver not the in kernel driver, and i dont know what that looks like in fstab | 17:03 |
| ubottu | mllie also check this. you probably want to setup the ntfs-3g driver not the in kernel driver, and i dont know what that looks like in fstab: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 17:03 |
| mllie | escott: in fstab | 17:03 |
| MrELusiveness | 14.04? | 17:03 |
| mllie | escott: I just need read-access :) | 17:03 |
| escott | mllie, you shouldn't say "martin" in fstab. it might work but we usually put numbers in fstab | 17:03 |
| mllie | escott: how do I get the uid? | 17:04 |
| escott | mllie, also consider setting gid, and noexec | 17:04 |
| escott | mllie, "id" | 17:04 |
| MrELusiveness | well sometime in april 2013 support will end for 12.04 i read | 17:04 |
| bazhang | MrELusiveness, thats not correct | 17:04 |
| mllie | escott: better like this? 8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F /media/usb0 ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,noexec 0 0 | 17:05 |
| bazhang | it's FIVE years MrELusiveness | 17:05 |
| MrELusiveness | that was froma public ubuntu blog | 17:05 |
| theadmin | mllie: No, more of: UUID=8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F /media/usb0 ntfs-3g user,users,nofail,mode=0777 0 0 | 17:05 |
| MrELusiveness | ok cool | 17:05 |
| bazhang | MrELusiveness, 10.04 is in 2013 | 17:05 |
| MrELusiveness | now if only the wine packages could get a update :D | 17:05 |
| mllie | theadmin: I don't need write-access and then don't want to install ntfs-3g :) | 17:06 |
| bazhang | MrELusiveness, #winehq for their repo | 17:06 |
| MrELusiveness | oh then someone must have confused 12.10 with 12.04 | 17:06 |
| MrELusiveness | yeah i know | 17:06 |
| theadmin | mllie: Oh, okay, then: UUID=whatever /media/usb0 ntfs defaults,nofail 0 0 | 17:06 |
| MrELusiveness | i was in the winehq channle all this last week | 17:06 |
| axgb123 | I have an internet problem on ubuntu. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I dont know why. I am dual boot 12.10 and win7. What should i do? | 17:06 |
| bazhang | MrELusiveness, no, 12.10 is 18 months | 17:06 |
| mllie | theadmin: what is nofail? | 17:06 |
| theadmin | mllie: The "nofail" is necessary to prevent errors if the device isn't present on bootup, judging by "usb0" I suppose you want that. | 17:07 |
| bazhang | axgb123, wifi? | 17:07 |
| mllie | theadmin: correct. And that will be accessable when plugged in then? | 17:07 |
| MrELusiveness | being dual boot wont affect your internet connection | 17:07 |
| theadmin | mllie: Yeah | 17:07 |
| axgb123 | yes wifi. ethernet works fine but this is wifi im talking about | 17:08 |
| escott | theadmin, mllie wants it automounted on boot for "martin" not sure users is going to know who the correct owner is | 17:08 |
| bazhang | !wifi | axgb123 | 17:08 |
| ubottu | axgb123: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:08 |
| axgb123 | our house (unfortunatly) is done with wifi | 17:08 |
| MrELusiveness | drivers can be the problem | 17:08 |
| mllie | theadmin: is it mounted as martin in this case then? | 17:08 |
| escott | theadmin, if you set it to 777 that i opens it up. perhaps thats satisfactory to mllie | 17:08 |
| axgb123 | someone said that something on windows will fix it. i changed that setting and nothing happened. | 17:08 |
| theadmin | mllie: Who cares what the owner is if the access is read-only anyway? Won't matter. | 17:08 |
| MrELusiveness | yeah alot of the chepa notebooks that came out have not the best wifi installed but ubuntu works with a bunch | 17:09 |
| axgb123 | and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't so that shows that drivers are not the problem | 17:09 |
| MrELusiveness | err cheap notebooks | 17:09 |
| mllie | theadmin: well, it does. At least when I did mount with mount-command it was only the owner that did get read-access | 17:09 |
| axgb123 | also this is a desktop computer and also i tried Wicd and the same problem was the case | 17:09 |
| theadmin | mllie: If necessary, though, run "id -u martin" and find the UID, then add "uid=1000" to the options, where 1000 is the number you get | 17:09 |
| mllie | theadmin: shall I do ,ro as well? because rw is default? | 17:09 |
| theadmin | mllie: The "ntfs" driver doesn't support read-write access so that does nothing\ | 17:10 |
| escott | mllie, the selected driver doesn't do writes so the ro is redundant but its no harm to add it | 17:10 |
| axgb123 | but, for some reason, if i reboot into windows then reboot into ubuntu it starts working again. Very strange | 17:10 |
| escott | mllie, makes your fstab more explicit which is good | 17:10 |
| leftist | really strange escott but i was able to get java to work with firefox and the really odd thing is that i was shown the routine for it on googles dev portal and yet they didnt have anything for chrome of which i use so i used firefox. i'm startinng to have seconnd thhoughts about chrome in general for any os to be honest. but i'm good! Thanks! | 17:10 |
| MrELusiveness | a reboot does tend to fix things alone | 17:10 |
| mllie | escott: theadmin: like this? UUID=8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F /media/usb0 ntfs defaults,uid=1000,ro,nofail 0 0 | 17:10 |
| theadmin | mllie: Yeah that looks about right | 17:11 |
| axgb123 | no, it only works if i boot into windows then reboot into ubuntu. I have tried both and only the first works | 17:11 |
| theadmin | mllie: Make sure you *are* id 1000 though with the command I gave (id -u martin) | 17:11 |
| mllie | theadmin: sweet. How do I test it without reboot? | 17:11 |
| MrELusiveness | cold boots | 17:11 |
| mllie | theadmin: it is 1000 | 17:11 |
| theadmin | mllie: Well, to test it you can run "sudo mount -a" | 17:11 |
| MrELusiveness | reset alot of stuff | 17:11 |
| mllie | theadmin: first umount /media/usb0? | 17:11 |
| MrELusiveness | like total shutdown | 17:11 |
| theadmin | mllie: Well, yes | 17:11 |
| escott | mllie, you can customize till your eyes bleed. im sure that is adequate. i would probably throw gid=1000 and noexec on it | 17:11 |
| theadmin | escott: The gid for the "users" group on ubuntu is 1000? That's a weird choice... | 17:12 |
| MrELusiveness | but sounds like a driver/hardware issue | 17:12 |
| theadmin | Oh wait, ubuntu doesn't have "users" | 17:12 |
| mllie | theadmin: escott well, some errors. I gtg, brb! | 17:12 |
| axgb123 | but it also does not work with wicd so how can it be drivers | 17:13 |
| escott | theadmin, no the "martin" group. i don't have a users group | 17:13 |
| datruth | Is there something betterthan virtualbox it seems to be the main cause of freezing and locking up my kubuntu system | 17:13 |
| axgb123 | either when i boot up it works with both wicd and default network manager, or it works with neither. SO it cant be a drivers problem | 17:13 |
| MrELusiveness | ive seen driver that were ment for the hardware not always work right | 17:13 |
| escott | theadmin, mostly i dont like files that are owned by "joe:root" | 17:13 |
| axgb123 | what should i try doing. ive tried almost everything but ive always had this same problem | 17:14 |
| MrELusiveness | then theres always that chance that the hardware is acting up | 17:14 |
| theadmin | escott: That's honestly a weird choice, most distros I know have a "users" group where pretty much every user who can log in gets added. Having separate groups for every user kind of nullifies the purpose of the group permission bit on files in your $HOME | 17:14 |
| MrELusiveness | WHAT? card that go bad? no way | 17:14 |
| axgb123 | but it works almost perfectly on winows 7 when it ius booted into | 17:14 |
| escott | theadmin, i understand the point of it. just saying i dont have a users group, and AFAIK ubuntu has never by default had one | 17:14 |
| andygraybeal | is it possible to only use a touchscreen with ubuntu? (like if i select an entry box it will popup with an onscreen keyboard?) | 17:14 |
| MrELusiveness | windows works with the hardware diffrently too | 17:15 |
| axgb123 | its a tplink and it has an atheros chipset | 17:15 |
| theadmin | escott: Yeah I know, just rambling, forgot it doesn't, sorry | 17:15 |
| escott | theadmin, rather it has one but people aren't added to it automatically. its id 100 | 17:15 |
| vivid | andygraybeal, yes its possible, the onscreen keyboard is called onboard | 17:15 |
| MrELusiveness | its best to go with hardware that share's dev info with open source developers | 17:16 |
| andygraybeal | vivid, how do i configure this? | 17:16 |
| axgb123 | what should i do? im not expert. ive tried all sorts of crazy things to try and get it to work | 17:16 |
| MrELusiveness | hello again Vivid | 17:17 |
| theadmin | axgb123: Is ath9k loaded? | 17:17 |
| axgb123 | what do it do? sudo apt-get install ath9k? | 17:17 |
| axgb123 | i dont know if it is installed or loaded | 17:17 |
| axgb123 | or whatever | 17:17 |
| v0lksman | anyone know if it's possible to convert a single drive system into a software RAID1 ? | 17:17 |
| theadmin | axgb123: Eh, no, just check if it's loaded: lsmod | grep ath | 17:17 |
| vivid | andygraybeal, i dont know, you may have to do some research | 17:18 |
| MrELusiveness | check to see if the are other drivers to choose from for that hardware | 17:18 |
| andygraybeal | vivid, thank you! | 17:18 |
| axgb123 | im on ubuntu, and it just happens to be working now, as i said it sometimes does and sometimes does not | 17:18 |
| MrELusiveness | ubuntu gives me options for other drivers for my video card for example | 17:18 |
| theadmin | axgb123: Sounds sort of random, I dunno. Try updating your system, may be a bug that's fixed in a new release | 17:18 |
| theadmin | s/release/package versions/gi | 17:19 |
| axgb123 | theadmin: ive updated, ive coped with the problem since about 11.10 when i started using ubuntu *A lot* | 17:19 |
| MrELusiveness | sometimes it will show a icon at the top of the screen for optional drivers | 17:19 |
| axgb123 | this is what came out of the terminal :ath9k 131308 0 mac80211 539908 1 ath9k ath9k_common 14055 1 ath9k ath9k_hw 395218 2 ath9k,ath9k_common ath 23827 3 ath9k,ath9k_common,ath9k_hw cfg80211 206566 3 ath9k,mac80211,ath | 17:19 |
| MrELusiveness | or you can find the link in the system settings | 17:19 |
| theadmin | axgb123: Hm, looks good to me... But then again it *is* working now so that's no surprise | 17:20 |

| MrELusiveness | oh ok wasnt sure | 17:23 |
| axgb1234 | i am "axgb123" but on my laptop. i think the thing requires me to have a new nickname each time. | 17:23 |
| theadmin | Easier to guess than say "fglrx" | 17:23 |
| axgb123 | ive gone over to my laptop as axgb1234 | 17:23 |
| axgb1234 | shall i get the internet to not work and do what you say | 17:24 |
| MrELusiveness | if its working leave it alone lol | 17:24 |
| v0lksman | escott: docs? | 17:24 |
| axgb1234 | no, i mean reboot and see if it stops working as it normally does in my experience | 17:25 |
| escott | v0lksman, just search for "convert to mdadm RAID1" | 17:25 |
| MrELusiveness | if you are going to reboot it, try full shut down | 17:25 |
| axgb1234 | ok. thats a good idea | 17:25 |
| MrELusiveness | that might be key | 17:25 |
| axgb1234 | i will try that | 17:25 |
| devilirium | Hello, is there a little application to download needed dependencies on every ./configure ? | 17:25 |
| axgb1234 | yes. that sounds right to me | 17:25 |
| axgb1234 | i will just try that now | 17:26 |
| SolarisBoy | devilirium: nice idea if not =) | 17:26 |
| MrELusiveness | windows might be resetting the hardware so a shut down might do the same | 17:26 |
| georgeph | man i am really tired...whats up with this uefi stuff..and ubuntu wanting the redhat kernel patches...but even if they get them they will not get the keys | 17:26 |

| MrELusiveness | give it time axg1234 | 17:28 |
| MrELusiveness | wifi can be slow and or picky | 17:28 |
| axgb1234 | and it will show that until i boot into windows then into ubuntu again, i predict | 17:28 |
| MrELusiveness | do you ahve a switch ont he notebook that turns on and off the wifi? | 17:28 |
| axgb1234 | it is a desktop pc | 17:28 |
| MrELusiveness | ohh | 17:28 |
| axgb1234 | it seems the situation is that it needs to have been a restart from windows to work. | 17:29 |

| morgoth | I DID IT :D | 17:29 |
| axgb1234 | no im chatting on the laptop so i can restart on the desktop without interruptions to the chat | 17:30 |

| MrELusiveness | the fact you run a dual boot should not mean anything | 17:30 |
| axgb1234 | but how it works has a direct relationship with whether i have just been into windows or not | 17:31 |

| georgeph | temp are you trying to design hardware stuff | 17:34 |
| axgb1234 | a few years ago, for some reason i had a 32bit install so i tried an old 32bit wireless card i have. and that did not work. it did the same. now its 64bit | 17:34 |
| axgb1234 | and i think *im not certain* that 32bit is incompatible with 64bit | 17:34 |
| MrELusiveness | most of the wifi cards you see in walmart work perfectly | 17:34 |

| theadmin | Lorra: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 # Or something like that. | 17:36 |
| axgb1234 | this wireless card. i think came from totenam court road, when the computer was being built and there was a little panic with the wireless card being forgotten and bought from there | 17:36 |
| axgb1234 | i dont live in the us so i dont realy know about walmart. all i know is that it is a shop | 17:36 |

| MrELusiveness | axgb1234 my thought was if you could a newer card 3com or something else as in a brand | 17:36 |
| MrELusiveness | err diffrent brand | 17:37 |
| georgeph | axgb1234...well they are big and have monopsony power...and have wiped out many small businesses that could not compete with their low prices | 17:37 |

| temp | georgeph: any guidance? | 17:38 |
| axgb1234 | is the only option you think will work to buy a new one? the problem was that the card only works if i restarted from windows into ubuntu | 17:38 |
| MrELusiveness | axgd1234 if it keeps giving you problems then a new card might be the better choice | 17:38 |
| axgb1234 | i would rather not get a new one | 17:39 |

| MrELusiveness | theres always that chance | 17:40 |
| axgb1234 | when the card was bought, no concideration was put into linux | 17:40 |
| axgb1234 | linux was later | 17:41 |
| MrELusiveness | thats why its a good idea to research before buying | 17:41 |

| MrELusiveness | i would | 17:42 |
| axgb1234 | because it says on a ubuntu database that my model of card works perfectly | 17:42 |

On my mechanical hard disk the setup is completed in 20 minutes, on the SSD it takes more than 2hours. I configured the discard,noatime in /etc/fstab (ext4 filesystem). Anyone an idea? | 17:43 |
| MrELusiveness | slow ssd? dabas | 17:43 |
| MrELusiveness | theres a lot of cheap SSD's out there | 17:44 |
| DaBas | MrELusiveness: I did not bought the fasted ssd, but compared 2hours compared to a 20 minutes is to much | 17:44 |
| axgb1234 | go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link and do ctrl + f and type TL-WN951N | 17:44 |
| MrELusiveness | well its buyer beware | 17:44 |
| escott | DaBas, have you tried without "discard" | 17:44 |
| axgb1234 | try that and as you will see it says that it works and is tested (but only with some old versions | 17:44 |
| MrELusiveness | sounds limited | 17:45 |
| DaBas | escott: Yes, when it is installed vanilla, I excecuted the command sudo fstime / -v and i set the discard,noatim in /Etc/fstab | 17:45 |
| uabn93 | do you think switching to 12.04 will fix it? | 17:45 |
| axgb1234 | what do you mean sounds limited | 17:45 |
| datruth | I'm on 12.04 if I do an apt-get dist-upgrade will that bring me to 12.10? | 17:45 |
| MrELusiveness | if it only works with some older versions | 17:46 |
| axgb1234 | go check it | 17:46 |

| MrELusiveness | well if you looked it up you should know | 17:46 |
| uabn93 | i think its the version of ubiquity on 12.10 that's giving me problems | 17:46 |
| axgb1234 | surely they wont make the drivers worse in the new version | 17:46 |
| bazhang | datruth, dist-upgrade does NOT change versions | 17:46 |

| MrELusiveness | DaBas is that SSD listed in the supported hardware? | 17:47 |
| DaBas | MrELusiveness: will check is immediately | 17:47 |
| escott | DaBas, and it was also slow without discard? | 17:48 |
| axgb1234 | dabas is the SSD manufactured by OCZ and does it contain a sandforce controller | 17:48 |

| DaBas | axgb1234: No is doesn't change a thing ... | 17:48 |
| axgb1234 | shall i do that | 17:49 |
| MrELusiveness | YES | 17:49 |
| MrELusiveness | get a new card and solve your headache | 17:49 |
| escott | DaBas, i would certainly disable discard, and then i would check your alignment and blocksize | 17:49 |
| axgb1234 | DaBas OCZ SSD drives have a very bad reputation for failing and working badly. My brother put his university coursework on an OCZ drive and lost a load of ti | 17:49 |
| cordyceps | where does VLC save bookmarks, if it does? | 17:50 |
| axgb1234 | anyway i will get a new card which is definitely compatible | 17:50 |
| DaBas | axgb1234: I bought the crucial v4 3GB/s 128GB | 17:50 |
| MrELusiveness | DaBas yeah SSD drives are no where near replacing a regular harddrive just yet | 17:50 |
| uabn93 | ssds have a greater fail rate than hdds in some cases | 17:50 |

| DaBas | uabn93: MrELusiveness: Yep but why is Fedora running like a train and ubuntu as a turtle | 17:52 |
| compdoc | DaBas, I have 4 OCZ drives. The only problem they have is when the PC sleeps or hibernates. They have released firmware updates for that, but these days I just dont use them in PCs that sleep to be safe | 17:52 |
| MrELusiveness | probly difffrent driver | 17:52 |

| exarkun | I can't seem to install python-pyopencl, http://codepad.org/R4dhmmAE | 17:53 |
| DaBas | compdoc: Do I need to make attention how to partition the drive ? I have 16GB ram but specifies 4GB of swap in the beginning of the driver, rest is / for data | 17:53 |
| MrELusiveness | fedora being redhat and ubuntu being debian two diffrent linux distros for sure | 17:53 |
| mllie | theadmin: what will happen if I try to access /media/usb0 if the disk is removed? | 17:53 |
| MrELusiveness | DaBas what ver of ubuntu? | 17:54 |
| uabn93 | guess ill come back later | 17:54 |
| DaBas | 12.04 and 12.10 | 17:54 |
| DaBas | but I prefer 12.04 | 17:54 |
| MrELusiveness | both? | 17:54 |
| MrELusiveness | did you do a fresh install of 12.04? | 17:54 |
| compdoc | DaBas, if you allow the OS or gparted to partition, it will be correct. As long as its a current OS. I think Ubuntu 11.10 on up, or windows 7 on up | 17:54 |
| theadmin | mllie: Well, you'll get an empty folder, but you'll also get a warning on bootup, shouldn't be a big deal, just minor annoyance | 17:55 |
| MrELusiveness | DaBas ive always thought that a fresh install is better than a upgrade | 17:55 |
| trash_ | hello punx | 17:55 |
| DaBas | MrELusiveness: yes it is fresh installed | 17:55 |
| DaBas | both versions | 17:56 |
| mllie | theadmin: I see! | 17:56 |
| compdoc | DaBas, be sure to update the ssd drive's fireware | 17:56 |
| compdoc | firmware | 17:56 |
| morphias | hello my fello linux fellows | 17:56 |
| MrELusiveness | well DaBas if you are not sure about the make and what controller this ssd has then that could be a problem | 17:57 |
| SierraAR | I've got gparted installed and running now on 12.04, curious what the /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 partitions are for (There's about 4GB for each) | 17:57 |
| MrELusiveness | knowing what your hardware is can be important | 17:57 |
| DaBas | compdoc: I think they didn't release a firmware upgrade for this SSD ... | 17:57 |
| compdoc | all OCZ drives have them, as far as I know | 17:58 |
| MrELusiveness | is there a model # ont he drive? | 17:58 |

| mllie | theadmin: I got two disks. The other one's folder is still empty tho | 18:03 |
| MrELusiveness | DaBas if there is nothing to identify the drive on the outside, it could be anything. | 18:04 |

| dtigue | arthur_: ^^ did you try my previous message | 18:49 |
| arthur_ | dtigue: will try that, right now the terminal is doing it's thing for wine | 18:49 |

| dtigue | arthur_: unless its installing something using apt | 18:50 |
| PowerTux | MrELusiveness: have foomatics and hplip etc | 18:50 |
| MrELusiveness | Vivid i was talking about the current patch of ddo and how the app data base has no info on it yet | 18:50 |
| arthur_ | dtigue: yup, still installing wine | 18:50 |
| arthur_ | and i don't have that good a conneciton | 18:51 |
| vivid | MrELusiveness, the appdb relies on users to submit data. ddo is not an extremely popular game, thus its likely nobody has played/submitted information | 18:51 |
| vivid | however, you can submit test data if you like | 18:51 |
| MrELusiveness | PowerTux yeah it maybe that you are using well ending up with a diffrent drive other than what would run it better | 18:51 |

| gdanko | hey guys. i have a weird situation with 12.04 and unity. the firefox icon in the launcher will force itself to the front every time i click a window. and i noticed the small dots to the left of the launcher icon that show how many app windows i have change from white to light blue. | 19:18 |
| gdanko | has anyone else seen this? | 19:18 |
| HeavyWater | I think blue dot's indicate how many browsers you have open | 19:19 |
| HeavyWater | blue meaning active? | 19:19 |
| HeavyWater | i could be wrong though | 19:19 |
| vivid | the blue arrows generally mean there's a message or some notification | 19:19 |
| gdanko | HeavyWater: So I have 2 terminal windows open. I have two white dots to the left of the icon. | 19:20 |
| gdanko | well firefox keeps forcing itself to the front. | 19:20 |
| gdanko | this is FF 16.0.2 | 19:22 |
| webnet | WeThePeople i cant find what i was thinnking of | 19:22 |
| WeThePeople | webnet_, ok thankyou for the assitsance | 19:23 |
| webnet | WeThePeople but i think a bash script would do it. its just very impractical to do it like this. youd have to start with 3 characters and randomly go throught every combonation of letters and numbers and onces every combonation has been made add another character so 4 characters and randomly do a ping to each if itt gets a response then pipe it into a list file. but this would take a very very very long time | 19:25 |
| webnet | WeThePeople if you dont mind my asking why are you doing this. there may be a better way | 19:26 |

| gustav__ | How can they sniff? O_O | 20:29 |
| Pici | gustav__: they can't. | 20:29 |
| Pici | gustav__: I wouldn't worry about it. You may want to install something like fail2ban though. | 20:29 |

| cdavis | Frequenty my sound doesn't work and a restart of pulseaudio doesn't fix it. Can someone tell me a place to look? (nothing in syslog) | 20:31 |
| Pici | gustav__: fail2ban works by examining system logs rather than the connections themselves. It temporarily bans people why fail to login to ssh after a small number of tries (like 5) | 20:32 |

| gustav__ | You're clearly not helping. | 20:35 |
| _r00t_ | invariant: nope.... how did you install it in the first place ? | 20:35 |
| almoxarife | gustav__: ufw does allow you to pick what ips connect to port 22 and which do not, so, decide which can, the rest wont connect | 20:36 |
| invariant | _r00t_, yes, because I was using the version of php suitable for some preforking version of Apache. | 20:36 |
| Pici | gustav__: Excuse me? You're free to do whatever you want about this. I'm just telling you that failed ssh logins from random addresses is by no means an indication that someone is targetting you. Infected hosts do these sorts of things all the time.

| Clair | Memtest, DFT, Seagate Tools, built in motherboard health check, the whole lot of scans, all come back clean | 20:59 |
| katsune | blackness, drive controller meaning what? the chipset that controls the sata interfaces? | 20:59 |
| blackness | memtest wont test a drive, or the motherboard..and i dont see how memory can cause a drive to fail..clair is this I/O errors? | 20:59 |
| _r00t_ | invariant: dpkg -l | grep php5 ..... let's see what you've got and you're sure that /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d ini files reference the correct shared objects | 20:59 |
| blackness | katsune, yes, that could be shorted out. | 20:59 |
| _r00t_ | OptiWork: tell me about it :/ But it works and works very well .... unfortunately dated | 21:00 |
| blackness | IF the motherboard isnt mounted properly that can cause failure..as in not screwed down all the way..or a footer in the wrong place. | 21:00 |
| katsune | then it's a motheboard problem, | 21:00 |
| katsune | I would say get some drive diagnostic tool to see if all drive sector is still consistent | 21:00 |
| blackness | which there is no software to test it..best suggestion is, install the drives in another machine and see if they fail there awell. | 21:00 |

| ikonia | nikolam: I've not seen that as part of the Kernel in ubuntu | 22:16 |
| nikolam | ikonia, well, it is not. there is not even PPA for it | 22:17 |
| ikonia | ok, so no-one in #ubuntu will be using it then | 22:17 |
| ikonia | as the channel is for ubuntu discussion | 22:17 |
| Clair_ | is there any other way to chmod without sudo or root? Some security exploit of some sort? Something that allows me to change a 0777 file? | 22:17 |
| nikolam | ikonia, well, why not. Ubuntu is linux distribution and it is linux kernel module. | 22:18 |
| nikolam | I just ask if anyone tried it. | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Clair_: you have to own it | 22:18 |

| ikonia | nikolam: no-one is using it under ubuntu, as you said it's not in the kernel or a PPA | 22:19 |
| nikolam | ikonia, that doe NOT mean noone is using it under Ubuntu! | 22:20 |
| Andi_ | Hey!! whats up? ;) | 22:20 |
| ikonia | nikolam: it means it's not on topic for this channel or #xubuntu | 22:20 |
| nikolam | I suppose there are also people in Ubuntu that compile and make/contribute something , even in ubuntu. | 22:20 |
| ikonia | nikolam: try ##linux | 22:20 |
| Andi_ | anyone have experience with nosql? | 22:20 |
| nikolam | ikonia, it is. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Clair_: sounds like you need a smarthands to boot to root recovery mode and chmod the file to how it should be | 22:20 |
| nikolam | because I as for ubuntu/whatever combination. | 22:20 |
| ikonia | nikolam: sorry, it's not. | 22:20 |

| ikonia | nikolam: it's not supported in ubuntu, it's not part of the kernel, and it's not in a PPA | 22:21 |
| ikonia | this channel is for ubuntu support | 22:21 |
| nikolam | ikonia, so what. | 22:21 |

| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:45 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, running lintian on packages seems to help me all the time | 22:46 |
| WeThePeople | how do i load the kernel for 10.04.4? | 22:46 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: how? I'm new to ubuntu development. | 22:46 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, that is cool can I ask what you are deving up ? | 22:46 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: bug fixing, mostly in python programs. | 22:47 |

| bobweaver | but you are right it is best to use pbuilder | 22:49 |
| simplew | when i run dolphin in ubuntu (and im not referring to KDE), even if i click to show the toolbar it doesnt show it, why is this happening? | 22:50 |
| MolochDynamo | wethepeople, apt-get dist-upgrade should do it. Was there a problem? | 22:50 |

| tooner | ActionParsnip thanks | 22:52 |
| WeThePeople | molochdynamo, i would like to keep using 10.04, the problem is i updated the kernel to oneric and would like to load lucids kernel again | 22:52 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: Yes, I've read that and used its instructions for working on my first bug. | 22:52 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, I also highly recomend the Debian new maintians guide though cryptic at points it is a good place to" dig deep " so to say | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: reboot, hold shift and select the kernel | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: Lucid is EOL in 6 months so you wil need to move soon | 22:53 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ | 22:53 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople less than 6 months, even | 22:53 |
| WeThePeople | nope 12.04 is to slow on my comp | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | can't wait for Lucid to die | 22:53 |
| bobweaver | +1 ActionParsnip | 22:53 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople then use lxde | 22:53 |
| JoshuaLin | #NAKEDCATS | 22:53 |
| MolochDynamo | wethepeople, What actionparsnip said, you should be able to remove the 10.4.4 kernel after that. | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: or use Xubuntu, you can run all your favourite gnome apps in any desktop... | 22:54 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: thanks | 22:54 |
| bobweaver | np | 22:54 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, are you getting stuck somewhere or is it just a issue of bandwidth ? | 22:54 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: any hint on why dolphin doesnt show toolbar in unity? | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | simplew, doesn't it show on the top panel? | 22:55 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: No, we just got a new Internet service that limits us on download usage plus I just upgraded to 12.10 via a new install, so was just wondering on the best method. | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: as in 'File Edit View' etc | 22:55 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: yes | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: is it not put in the global menu? | 22:56 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: i click to show toolbar but doesnt show it | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: what if you press ALT+F while Dolphin has focus? | 22:57 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, ahh yeah there are many ways to skin a cat you can build local and test also . that is another way just like with debuild but you can run fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -f from the source dir and that will give you debian package to try on local system or a virtual one ect if you do not have great bandwidth | 22:57 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: oh i forgot tha tunity the menu bar is show in the top desktop bar | 22:58 |
| bobweaver | mspencer, but keep in mind on new packages it is best to use pbuilder be cause if you need what I like to call hidden dependences in the d/control | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: yes, thats the global menu.... | 22:58 |
| simplew | what a crap | 22:59 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: thanks | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: no worries, all the other gnome apps do that too | 22:59 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: time to go back to cinnamon | 22:59 |
| mspencer | bobweaver: I'll just stick with pbuilder since I'm new, thanks for all your help! | 22:59 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: another thing, how do i configure icons in unity just for curiosity | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: you can use cinammon, but its not supported here | 23:00 |
| silindean | time to go Back in Time :) @simplew | 23:00 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: im still in unity | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | simplew: you can configure icons in any desktop by editting the .desktop for the app in /usr/share/applications | 23:00 |
| bobweaver | np mspencer let us know (buy filing a bug or question on launchpad) if there is anything about the packageing guide that can be better thanks for deving up in Ubuntu You Rock ! | 23:00 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: im referring to the icons theme | 23:00 |

| ActionParsnip | simplew: could poke around in /etc/mime.types | 23:21 |
| geezenslaw | ActionParsnip: run as admin makes no diff. I suspect the setup is geared to use the C: drive and not the E: drive. | 23:22 |

| nrdb | I am running 12.04 server ... I want to install libcgi-dev ... which is in universe .... which I think is properly enabled ... but I keep getting " Package 'libcgi-dev' has no installation candidate" | 23:28 |
| === toxboi` is now known as toxboi | ||
| blackness | nrdb, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo apt-get update|pastebinit | 23:30 |
| bobweaver | blackness that will not work | 23:30 |
| Lttlwing16 | anyone know why Dropbox logs out after reboot | 23:30 |
| Lttlwing16 | can't get it to stick | 23:30 |
| GandalfB | ok the lspci output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373653/ | 23:31 |
| bobweaver | must save output at var then cat it like " update-output=$(sudo apt-get update) && cat $update-output | pastebinit " | 23:31 |
| GandalfB | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373656/ is the lsmod output | 23:32 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, I also have that same chip in a different computer." GeForce 8600 GT " | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Lttlwing16: have you tried with a different USB stick? | 23:32 |
| Lttlwing16 | Nope.. | 23:32 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 23:32 |
| BeoWulf` | howdy all. What will I lose, aside from the annoying start bar thing, if I install another desktop like Cinnamon? | 23:32 |
| bobweaver | then reboot | 23:32 |
| Lttlwing16 | ActionParsnip: I think nautilus is out of wack | 23:32 |
| str1ct | hi everyone. Somebody could tell me what should I do to not enter the password each time when i try install smth, for example: sudo apt-get install.... then I have to enter the pswd... can I set smth to don't do it? | 23:32 |
| blackness | yes, i was wrong.. | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BeoWulf`: if you use cinammon you will not get support for it here | 23:33 |
| Lttlwing16 | because It won't hold on to the Spotify app I put in the dock either | 23:33 |
| bobweaver | blackness, yeah I have run into the troubles many times | 23:33 |
| blackness | nrdb, follow what bobweaver pasted: update-output=$(sudo apt-get update) && cat $update-output | pastebinit | 23:33 |
| beandog | str1ct: http://www.maestric.com/doc/unix/ubuntu_sudo_without_password | 23:33 |
| nrdb | blackness, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373659/ | 23:33 |
| bobweaver | Oo | 23:33 |
| str1ct | beandog: thank you;) | 23:33 |
| blackness | you are using universe, lemme see if that package exists under that name | 23:34 |
| bobweaver | blackness no I was wrong :/ | 23:34 |
| BeoWulf` | Not looking for support, mostly I want to know what I will lose? | 23:34 |
| GandalfB | ok, it says "nvidia-current is already the newest version" | 23:34 |
| andybrine | evening all | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | BeoWulf`: that's all. | 23:34 |
| blackness | nrdb, what does: sudo apt-get install libcgi0 report? | 23:34 |
| GandalfB | I think I may of switched something with the video card on previous login, | 23:35 |
| blackness | bobweaver, so we're both wrong ?:P | 23:35 |
| andybrine | does anyone know a good command to purge everything relating to a program | 23:35 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, what is "apt-cache policy nvidia-current | pastebinit " | 23:35 |
| andybrine | so the program can be reinstalled | 23:35 |
| andybrine | ? | 23:35 |
| WeThePeople | is there a easy way to install xampp on ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| blackness | andybrine, have you tried apt-get remove --purge package ? | 23:35 |
| iceroot | WeThePeople: please dont use xampp on GNU/Linux | 23:36 |
| lcabreza2 | WeThePeople: download the tar.gz file and extract it | 23:36 |
| andybrine | not yet, thanks blackness | 23:36 |
| blackness | welcome, or you can use apt-get purge andybrine | 23:36 |
| iceroot | lcabreza2: please dont suggest to install something as tar.gz | 23:36 |
| andybrine | i installed neflix and want to purge all then reinstall | 23:36 |
| GandalfB | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373666/ | 23:36 |
| lcabreza2 | WeThePeople: it would be best to download and compile .. | 23:36 |
| blackness | i perfer the --flags over all the others | 23:36 |
| nrdb | blackness, "E: Unable to locate package libcgi0" | 23:36 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, funny thing is if installed nvidia is not loaded in lsmod :? | 23:36 |
| blackness | nrdb, 12.04? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !info libcgi0 | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Package libcgi0 does not exist in quantal | 23:36 |
| WeThePeople | iceroot, what do you recommend | 23:36 |
| blackness | !info libcgi-dev | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Package libcgi-dev does not exist in quantal | 23:36 |
| iceroot | WeThePeople: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin | 23:36 |
| GandalfB | is the output from that command | 23:36 |
| blackness | LIES | 23:36 |
| iceroot | WeThePeople: install the lamp packages directly with the command i gave you | 23:37 |
| nrdb | blackness, yes ... 12.04.01 to be precise | 23:37 |
| iceroot | !lamp | WeThePeople | 23:37 |
| ubottu | WeThePeople: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:37 |
| blackness | i have that package for 10.11 | 23:37 |
| blackness | 12.10 * | 23:37 |
| WeThePeople | iceroot, can i run perl | 23:37 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, try "sudo modprob nvidia && sudo services lightdm restart " | 23:37 |
| GandalfB | bobweaver I might of stupiedly turned it off | 23:37 |
| blackness | The following NEW packages will be installed:\ libcgi-dev libcgi0 | 23:37 |
| iceroot | WeThePeople: sure, sudo apt-get install perl (but i guess its already installed) | 23:37 |
| blackness | one moment nrdb | 23:37 |
| GandalfB | bobweaver, trying now | 23:37 |
| nrdb | blackness, uname -a = "Linux www 3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:33:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" | 23:38 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, yeah it looks that way lsmod says driver is not loaded but policy says that it is installed | 23:38 |
| blackness | nrdb, what are we trying to do? maybe the package name changed from 12.04 to 12.10 | 23:39 |
| nrdb | blackness, I am trying to develop some cgi in C for a website... the libcgi looks api looks good. | 23:40 |
| blackness | !info libcgi-devel | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Package libcgi-devel does not exist in quantal | 23:40 |
| GandalfB | bobweaver, modprob, says command not found.... could that be because I'm running gdm instead of lightdm? | 23:40 |
| blackness | !info libcgi-devel precise | 23:40 |
| bobweaver | No | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Package libcgi-devel does not exist in precise | 23:40 |
| nrdb | blackness, isn't that "libcgi-dev" | 23:41 |
| blackness | yes.. | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcgi&searchon=names&suite=quantal§ion=all | 23:41 |
| blackness | i found packages for all ubuntu's but 12.04 :/ | 23:41 |
| nrdb | !info libcgi-dev precise | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Package libcgi-dev does not exist in precise | 23:41 |
| bobweaver | GandalfB, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install nvidia current && sudo reboot | 23:41 |
| bobweaver | that will reboot at end | 23:41 |
| blackness | nrdb, libcgic-dev | 23:42 |
| GandalfB | bobweaver, cool let me try that | 23:42 |
| blackness | !info libcgic-dev | 23:42 |
| ubottu | libcgic-dev (source: libcgic): C library for developing CGI applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-3 (quantal), package size 49 kB, installed size 184 kB | 23:42 |
| nrdb | blackness, that is different but I suppose I could use it... libcgi must have been dropped at some time. | 23:43 |
| blackness | nrdb, sudo apt-get install libcgic-dev, sorry, forgot that part. | 23:43 |
| bobweaver | !info libcgic2 | 23:43 |
| ubottu | libcgic2 (source: libcgic): C library for developing CGI applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-3 (quantal), package size 19 kB, installed size 62 kB | 23:43 |
| blackness | same thing..cept for sizes :P | 23:43 |
| bobweaver | apt-cache search libcgic | 23:44 |
| blackness | does that provide header files bobweaver ? | 23:44 |
| simplew | ActionParsnip: the solution is to in mimeapps.list add a line with inode/directory=kde4-dolphin.desktop | 23:44 |
| bobweaver | blackness run apt-cache show <name of package > | 23:45 |
| minas | Hi. How can I see the version of the GPU driver? | 23:45 |
| theos911 | It should be displayed with glxinfo | 23:45 |
| blackness | he needs the development package.. libcgic isnt the development package..im viewing it via www :P | 23:45 |
| nrdb | blackness, bobweaver , thanks for your time... I see about converting the code to libcgic | 23:45 |
| GandalfB | bobweaver, thats working away | 23:46 |
| minas | theos911: server glx version string: 1.4. is that it? | 23:46 |
| blackness | Welcome nrdb | 23:46 |
| bobweaver | nrdb, what about libcg ? | 23:46 |
| bobweaver | opps that is nvidia toolkit :/ | 23:46 |
| theos911 | No minas, I don't think so. | 23:46 |
| theos911 | I'm a bit rusty, but it should be something more like "3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.49" | 23:47 |
| minas | theos911: client glx version string? (By the way, I want the driver version, not the version of openGL). I'm using ATI | 23:47 |
| theos911 | I think OpenGL version string is what you want | 23:47 |
| minas | theos911: no, that's the version of opengl | 23:48 |
| bobweaver | One can see the pacakge infromation like version number with apt-cache policy <name of package > | 23:48 |
| theos911 | Ok, I tried, Sorry | 23:48 |
| bobweaver | including drivers | 23:48 |
| minas | theos911: thanks anyway :) | 23:48 |
| bobweaver | or mods or what every | 23:48 |
