[00:01] <bobweaver> oh woops try this    sudo modprob  nvidia_current
[00:01] <three18ti2> modprobe
[00:01] <bobweaver> thanks three18ti  !
[00:01] <bobweaver> that is it forgot the e
[00:02] <three18ti2> ;)
[00:02] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  ^^
[00:02] <bobweaver> sudo modprobe nvidia
[00:02] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, gotchat
[00:02] <bobweaver> gezz
[00:02]  * bobweaver feels silly 
[00:02] <three18ti> yea, I hate it when linux does what I say instead of what I want...
[00:02] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
[00:03] <bobweaver> sudo modprobe nvidia
[00:03] <sssilver> Anyone here using Openbox and having an issue where alt-shift-tab doesn't work?
[00:04] <bobweaver> GabrieleV,  should just go to the next line if so run     lsmod | pastebinit
[00:04] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
[00:04] <bobweaver> er wrong person ^^
[00:04] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo modprobe nvidia          said that ?
[00:04] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it sure did
[00:05] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I can turn on webcam if that helps :D
[00:05] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[00:05] <bobweaver> are they installed ?
[00:05] <jeeves_moss> is there a way to extract the e-mail that Thunderbird has cached?  I lost the main drive my e-mail server was living on, and it looks like the ONLY copy I have is the cached copy in Thunderbird
[00:06] <Akiva> Man I hate installing linux for old people, because chances are, they have paid for some stupid cisco based web application that only works in ie6
[00:06] <Akiva> webex, I hate you
[00:06] <Akiva> Now I have to do a dual boot
[00:06] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, what are teh characters after "linux-headers-'uname -r'"  is that correct
[00:06] <bobweaver> nothing
[00:07] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[00:07] <bobweaver> that is it
[00:08] <GandalfB> Bobweaver what key is 'uname -r'  as it saying "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-uname -r"
[00:09] <_r00t_> GandalfB: just do this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current
[00:09] <GandalfB> root, ok
[00:09] <bobweaver> that is not supported ^^
[00:09] <bobweaver> but should work
[00:10] <GandalfB> Bobweaver.... ok safe to do?
[00:10] <_r00t_> GandalfB: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[00:10] <dooml0rd> does ubuntu2d have a hotkey to make a window undecorated+fullscreen
[00:10] <bobweaver> but if you add beta software you might get beta output though that is a good repo
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> GandalfB: i use it. i need it so my gpu can run urban terror
[00:10] <_r00t_> bobweaver: is it beta ? really ?
[00:11] <bobweaver> bleeding edge / beta / whatever you want to call it
[00:11] <fdidh> hey all
[00:12] <_r00t_> bobweaver: it's current 'latest stable'
[00:12] <bobweaver> and nvidia-current is already installed so I guess that one would want to upgrade only
[00:13] <Netbus> hi
[00:13] <bobweaver> _r00t_,  you are correct it is not beta
[00:13] <bobweaver> edgers
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> the beta is 310 if memory serves
[00:14] <bobweaver> 310.19-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> boom!
[00:14] <iceroot> WeThePeople: apache and mysql will be started automaticly after they are installed
[00:16] <Netbus> Guake Terminal is AWESOME
[00:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, btw should I of mentioned that I'm running 64bit earlier?
[00:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, rebooting
[00:17] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  need to get that mod(driver) loaded
[00:18] <GandalfB> how do I do that :O
[00:19] <bobweaver> should be loading auto not sure why not . I would file a bug on that . but that is just me.
[00:19] <GandalfB> whats teh pannel in ui were you set the driver
[00:19] <GandalfB> is there anyway I can force display that pannel?
[00:20] <brandon420> guys
[00:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I can seem to get a file exporer up by creating a folder on desktop
[00:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, can I run it form there?
[00:21] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  by adding the ppa that _r00t_  suggested that will then upgrading it should do it,   GandalfB   modprobe loads drivers
[00:22] <GandalfB> I think I set something doddy in one of the display panels settings, from the ui tho.. there was a window (before i had the problem) which listed 5 odd drivers for nvidia.. do what know what pannel that is?
[00:22] <bobweaver> you can reconfigure nvidia_current
[00:23] <bobweaver> sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current
[00:23] <bobweaver> or if you can open terminal with ctrl+alt+t   then try  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[00:24] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, should I reboot arfter reconfigure current?
[00:24] <brandon420> I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
[00:24] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, rebooting
[00:27] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok what should I see when I type "sudo nivdia-xconfig"
[00:28] <mgore> sorry..just joined this chat...how far are we on the QA verification point?
[00:28] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current and reboot seemed to make my desktop resoluotion even smaller :P
[00:29] <bobweaver> afkb 20 min

[00:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How can i do a swap?
[00:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i get  swapon failed: Operation not permitted
[00:29] <brandon420> I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
[00:30] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: sudo swapon -a
[00:30] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:30] <monopole> exit
[00:30] <monopole> exit
[00:31] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> swapon: /swapfile1: skipping - it appears to have holes.
[00:32] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: swapfile ? Should it not be a partition ?
[00:32] <Akiva> how do I mount the cd rom from a live environment? I mounted my ubuntu usb drive, and now I want to burn an iso, but I can't access the cdrom
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> how can i swap?
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i was trying an alternative mthod
[00:33] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Fair enough .... you followed a procedure like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/
[00:33] <mercury00> what's the best way to get gpg-agent to cache password?
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> yes somewhat _r00t_
[00:34] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> what is the easiest way?
[00:34] <ariados> .net
[00:35] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], probably creating a swap partition is best, IF you have a disk with empty space,
[00:36] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> im in a VPS
[00:36] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> so..
[00:36] <ar9> whats the metapackage to install basic x server called?
[00:36] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Should work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516004 ....... Ahhhhh IC - you're in a vps :)
[00:36] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], hmm, I thought in a VPS you wouldn't need swap at all?
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:37] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Welcome to Jail .... your turn to throw the dice
[00:37] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], I mean, isn't that for the host env?
[00:37] <willbeeler> hi everyone... I installed ubuntu on another new harddrive and the left the previous installation on the first hard drive alone. Nothing has changed on the grub list of ubuntu installations.. It just has that first "Ubuntu" entry
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> umm idk
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> but i have a ram limit
[00:37] <willbeeler> when i click on it, it goes to the first instllation
[00:37] <willbeeler> how do i fix that?
[00:37] <QS81> evening all. I seem to have lost my files after an upgrade to 12.10 but they seem to be under a folder called .ecryptfs and I can't retrieve them. can anyone help me out?
[00:38] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], I woulnd't worry about swap unless I was running bare metal
[00:38] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i need a i need a swap because im getting ram errors on a pkg im trying to config
[00:38] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> _r00t_ didnt work
[00:38] <mercury00> willbeeler, you probably just need to run update-grub, typically it finds all ubuntu installs and adds them to grub,
[00:39] <GandalfB> _root_, is there are way I can just re-install ubunto without using usbkey or cdrom (as I don't have either option) to correct my problem.  as it was fairly clearn install?
[00:39] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> _r00t_ am i supposed to rename "./swap.virtual.disk" ?
[00:39] <ar9> what package do i need for a basic Xsession?
[00:39] <blackness> GandalfB, without a media source, you cant really do much..
[00:39] <_r00t_> willbeeler:  sudo update-grub
[00:40] <mercury00> willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway,
[00:40] <dooml0rd> is there a way to compare two directory trees. e.g: something like rsync reporting what it would do if you invoked it
[00:40] <GandalfB> blackness, well I have the media,  I just can't boot from cd (as I dont have one) and the motherboard is to crapy to boot from usb
[00:40] <_r00t_> dooml0rd: diff -r
[00:41] <GandalfB> so is there an equiviant to the windows installer?
[00:41] <blackness> GandalfB, i'd go buy a single CD-r
[00:41] <willbeeler> im sorry i must have lost connection... does anyone know what to do about my question? I have 2 installations of ubuntu, but only one grub entry
[00:41] <mercury00> doomlord, yes, rsync has an option that will do nothing, it's, -n i think
[00:41] <_r00t_> dooml0rd: or run the rsyn with -n option ie --dry-run
[00:41] <willbeeler> and the grub entry goes to the older one
[00:41] <GandalfB> blackness, no I have no cd-r drive :)
[00:41] <blackness> no CDRom period?
[00:41] <GandalfB> I have the cd-r ;D
[00:41] <blackness> i believe there is a way to use grub to install from a iso.
[00:42] <GandalfB> well, correct,  actually no ide cable to connect it :S
[00:42] <dooml0rd> thanks
[00:42] <mercury00> doomlord, or --dry-run, so something like rsync --update /first/dir /second/dir --dry-run, maybe
[00:42] <blackness> GandalfB, can you borrow one from another device? like a slave HD..
[00:42] <blackness> GandalfB, wait, you said IDE right?
[00:42] <dooml0rd> rsync -nr perhaps (recursive/dry run)
[00:42] <GandalfB> not really
[00:42] <mercury00> willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway, use 'sudo update-grub
[00:42] <GandalfB> blackness, yup
[00:43] <mercury00> willbeeler, it *should* automatically see that you have kernels on the second disk, and add them to your grub menu
[00:43] <blackness> Why not slave your CDrom off your harddrive? or is the slave IDE slot taken by a harddrive?
[00:43] <GandalfB> the harddrive is sata :P
[00:43] <willbeeler> mercury00: when would I do that? On the live disc (right now) or when i get back into my first installation?
[00:43] <mercury00> dooml0rd, right, recursive too
[00:43] <blackness> oh..
[00:43] <QS81> I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:43] <blackness> Hang on GandalfB ..lemme find a guide.
[00:43] <mercury00> dooml0rd, uh, also, -v or something, you want there to be output,
[00:44] <dooml0rd> -nrv ok
[00:44] <GandalfB> blackness,  yes much swearing was involved with getting the destro on there in the first place.  I pinched an IDE cable from a friend,  which I've since returned
[00:44] <blackness> GandalfB, http://askubuntu.com/questions/141940/how-to-boot-live-iso-images
[00:45] <GandalfB> ok I taka  read
[00:45] <bc81> @search Edwin Marlow
[00:45] <blackness> GandalfB, You have to edit grub.cfg manually i believe.
[00:45] <mercury00> willeeler, only from the running instance of the first disk,
[00:45] <blackness> bc81, this isnt a file serving channel.
[00:45] <mercury00> willeeler, when you run update-grub it'll try to update the info it has on the running kernel / current root directory unless you carefully specify otherwise,
[00:46] <GandalfB> blackness, I think thats one for the morning, my head starting to swell with pain :(  Thanks for all the help tonight and thankyyou bobweaver for trying to help
[00:46] <mercury00> willbeeler, but it's safest/easiest to boot into the first dist, run sudo update-grub, and watch the output.  It should print out some info about how it discovered an ubuntu kernel on the other disk
[00:47] <willbeeler> mercury00: when i setup the second instllation, i set it to the second (new) hard drive (grub i mean)... would that be a prob?
[00:47] <willbeeler> ok ill try that
[00:47] <blackness> haha..i know that feeling GandalfB
[00:47] <blackness> make sure you save it :)
[00:48] <willbeeler> how rude... I forgot to say thank you mercury00!!!
[00:48] <GandalfB> ttfn all
[00:48] <mercury00> willbeeler, it's not a probem to 'also' install grub to the second disk, it' sjust that it'll never be used unless you physically remove the first disk.  Your BIOS -> tries booting the first disk.  The first disk -> loads grub from the boot sector, gets files from the root directory
[00:48] <willbeeler> and everyone else for their help
[00:48] <willbeeler> AHhh.. that's right..
[00:48] <willbeeler> how dumb of me
[00:48] <willbeeler> i appreciate it, now i understand
[00:48] <mercury00> willbeeler, no problem, it's not simple so there's no reason feeling dumb
[00:48] <willbeeler> have a good night and happy thanksgiving
[00:49] <mercury00> willbeeler, night,
[00:49] <willbeeler> well, i've been through this rodeo before, and it should have dawned on me
[00:49] <willbeeler> ttyl
[00:49] <mercury00> willbeeler, yeah I just yesterday installed grub from a chroot onto a usb disk to reinstall on another computer, ha
[00:50] <QS81> I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:50] <blackness> what version ubuntu QS81 ?
[00:50] <QS81> 12.10
[00:50] <blackness> moment please.
[00:50] <QS81> upgraded from 12.04 via a thumbstick.
[00:51] <QS81> thank you blackness
[00:51] <blackness> QS81, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38336/how-do-i-recover-my-data-from-an-encrypted-home-directory/80386#80386 give this a try.
[00:52] <blackness> QS81, here is one with a video LOL http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
[00:54] <blackness> QS81, make sure instead of 11.10, use 12.10 for your liveUSB..
[00:55] <ZiauddinMK> hey, don't forget to multiply by four.
[00:55] <blackness> ZiauddinMK, what?
[00:56] <willbeeler> hey it worked! thanks, im logged in!
[00:58] <mercury00> willbeeler, super!
[00:58] <QS81> thank you for the help blackness but this seems like it will take a long time. I'm a very deep ubuntu newbie so a lot of this is still very foreign to me.
[00:58] <kolaracdn> can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
[00:58] <QS81> but at least there is a way.
[00:58] <blackness> Just take your time, and follow the steps.. and you will be fine QS81
[00:59] <bazhang> !nox | kolaracdn
[01:00] <blackness> bazhang, i believe he wants it to goto console, and leave X running in the background. not sure if what you suggested will do that.
[01:00] <QS81> blackness: one minor question - when it says that the target system's hard drive needs to be mounted, do they mean the one I'm trying to open or the one that was created when the upgrade took place?
[01:00] <kolaracdn> no i already tried that i want the gui to be running but not in the background. i want tty1 the first i see and i want to switch to tty7 when needed
[01:00] <blackness> the one that holds the encryptedfs.
[01:01] <blackness> target = where you want it to go, source = location of data..
[01:01] <blackness> sorry i got that backwards a second ago QS81
[01:02] <jsn> I am trying ifup wlan0 (wireless, naturally) and am getting "Unsupported driver 'iwlwifi'". It worked last week. lsmod lists iwlwifi. I think it might be suspend/resume related, but I only ever suspended once. Maybe it is because I shipped the machine. HW troubles that could have loosened the wireless card?
[01:02] <kolaracdn> can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
[01:03] <Synthos> Hello,  I am having a very strange ethernet issue and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.  I'm on my windows partition and everything is fine, but in Ubuntu I can only get LAN access. WAN does not work.  DNS does not resolve.  What logs should I be looking in?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> jsn: how do you 'ship a machine'?
[01:03] <blackness> kolaracdn, please give people time to respond and or give you a guide or a solution.
[01:03] <blackness> ActionParsnip, VIA UPS or FedEX
[01:03] <kolaracdn> k
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> blackness: i see
[01:04] <Synthos> I'm running 12.04 LTS
[01:04] <jsn> ActionParsnip, UPS is one choice. There are many.
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: disable the ability for the network chip to wake up the OS as well as the power management
[01:04] <Evil_Eric> Synthos, so am i
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> jsn: i see, should be ok
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> jsn: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network     what wifi chip are you using?
[01:04] <jsn> ActionParsnip, yet, it is't OK.
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: you set it in windows device manager
[01:05] <Synthos> Ok
[01:06] <laffen> which is the most awsome videocard buy for a desktop to use with linux? more centered on price vs performance since im not a big gamer.. i have ATI radeon and its more sluggish than it should be cause of poor drivers

[01:06] <toromata> Hello guys, I have installed ubuntu 12.10 3.2.0-33-generic-pae #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 18 16:39:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux installed on a laptop Toshiba U505, but the fan does not turn on. What I need to configure or install?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> laffen: i'd ask in ##hardware   nvidia drivers are pretty sweet
[01:07] <theslow1> Hey, i am having difficulties mounting an external NTFS hdd
[01:07] <mercury00> jsn, is the wireless showing up is lspci, or lsusb, and is is 'physically' enabled, (it, on most laptops, wifi has a button you have to press or something)
[01:07] <laffen> ok tanx, ActionParsnip
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: can you do it manually?
[01:07] <theslow1> yea
[01:07] <QS81> going to try this. will return in a bit.
[01:07] <blackness> theslow1, did you just ask that in debian?
[01:08] <theslow1> blackness: yes ...
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: when you unplugged it last, did you use the safely remove feature in the OS?
[01:08] <theslow1> Actionparsnip: yes
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:08] <jsn> mercury00, lspci I think shows it: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> jsn: and does it say 'UNCLAIMED' above it?
[01:08] <theslow1> ActionParsnip: wheezy
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: then its debian, so not supported here
[01:09] <blackness> theslow1, we dont support debian here..
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: this is ubuntu support only
[01:09] <theslow1> ActionParsnip...okay :(
[01:09] <jsn> ActionParsnip, the lshw output? Does not say UNCLAIMED, it says DISABLED.
[01:09] <blackness> ActionParsnip, +1
[01:10] <mercury00> jsn, hmm, is there a button to turn on and off wifi on your computer?  on the side, or the top, or a light that turns blue or somethihg?
[01:10] <mercury00> jsn, what is your computer again, model #?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jsn: thats good, do you have a switch or shortcut to enable or disable wifi?
[01:11] <laffen> ActionParsnip: i dont get reply there, but i have something like a 10 year old geoforce something but doubt its better than a radeon 5870
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jsn: do you dual boot the system?
[01:11] <toromata> Is there a solution?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> laffen: not sure, I always buy nvidia
[01:12] <mercury00> toromata, which fan is it?  cpu, case?
[01:12] <laffen> will too after this
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> toromata: let me search
[01:12] <toromata> cpu
[01:12] <jsn> ActionParsnip, I don't dual boot.
[01:12] <mercury00> (always nvidia, though ati's linux drivers are not bad, I just prefer the hardware)
[01:12] <blackness> ActionParsnip, give jsn time to respond :P
[01:13] <blackness> not everyone can type 70+WPM ActionParsnip heh
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> toromata: seems you need the boot option: acpi=noirq
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> toromata: http://michaelminn.com/linux/toshiba-u505/   source
[01:13] <jsn> blackness, I'm 50wpm+, I appreciate ActionParsnip speed :)
[01:13] <laffen> my 3 year old latop with internal intel video card runs better than this one
[01:13] <synthos2> I disabled all power management... in ubuntu and still seeing no wan . can you clarify what settings
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> jsn: does the system have a make and model?
[01:14] <synthos2> to disable?
[01:14] <jsn> One other tidbit, scanning with iwlist does work.
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> synthos2: http://www.trishtech.com/img_art/vista_disable_wake_up_1.jpg
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> jsn: does the system have a make and model?
[01:15] <synthos2> I assume that by wake up OS you mean wake from suspend. I also disabled WOL
[01:15] <gsr> Hi all.  just installed 12.10.  apt-get can't seem to find htop, synaptics, or a whole wack of other software.  According to software sources, canonical, universe and multiverse are all enabled.  anyone else having this problem?
[01:15] <jsn> ActionParsnip, It's Sony, PSG-6C2L, it's a few years old.
[01:15] <MoON_WallK> i am bored of win7 n coz of .exe soft i hd to use it :( i want a linux good stable & most imp it shud update security patches whn they r released i m concern bout security :D cn you suggest me linux OS
[01:15] <toromata> ActionParsnip: Thanks, let me see
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: try Ubuntu
[01:15] <jsn> I always call it a Sony VAIO SZ6, ActionParsnip
[01:15] <mercury00> ActionParsnip +1
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> nah it lag withn my ram
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> i did used it
[01:16] <synthos2> want me in ubuntu or Windows?
[01:16] <trism> gsr: sudo apt-get update; yet?
[01:16] <mercury00> MoON_WallK arch linux?
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> arch is good in security ???
[01:17] <jsn> ActionParsnip, third name? Sony VGN-SZ650N/C
[01:17] <gsr> trism: yup
[01:17] <jsn> Oh, maybe mine isn't the N/C
[01:17] <trism> gsr: which mirror?
[01:18] <Tharkis> Hey there.. I just installed ubuntu, but it doesn't look like a bootloader got installed. How can I install it from the live cd without having to go through the installer again?
[01:18] <trism> gsr: or actually just pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> jsn: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[01:19] <blackness> Tharkis, you need to load the LiveCD, and mount your SYSTEM drive, and chroot to it and type: sudo grub-install
[01:19] <blackness> let me get you a guide..moment please.
[01:19] <gsr> trism: http://pastebin.com/zakSRxtY
[01:20] <mercury00> Tharkis, if you do it that way, be sure to mount -o bind /proc <your root system drive>/proc, as well as /sys and /dev (and maybe /dev/pts)
[01:20] <MoON_WallK> n yeah will counter strike run on arch lynx under wine  ???????????????
[01:20] <jsn> ActionParsnip, that command succeeded.
[01:20] <blackness> Tharkis, http://blackness.sytes.net:8181/bb72d3ea-3379-11e2-874f-4f0b4692c4f6 there you go
[01:20] <Tharkis> so would it be easier to just go through the installer again? mercury00 ?
[01:21] <mercury00> tharkis, ah, so, I'd boot to the live-cd, then follow the instructions blackness linked,
[01:21] <trism> gsr: how about the output of: sudo apt-get update;
[01:21] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, ask in #archlinux . this is ubuntu support
[01:22] <jsn> ActionParsnip, lshw no longer shows disabled, but I don't know if that is from the rfkill command or from my iwconfig wlan0 up
[01:22] <jsn> s/iwconfig/ifconfig/
[01:22] <mercury00> MoON_WallK, I think so, but my experience is that everyhing is much more manually configured in arch, ubuntu is more preconfigured
[01:23] <Tharkis> ok thanks.. here goes something
[01:23] <gsr> trism: http://pastebin.com/3gxcNvKA     I am on a train right now (viarail), so there is a chance its blocking some of the larger files needed to update apt, I guess
[01:23] <bazhang> mercury00, feel free to support him in #archlinux
[01:23] <blackness> If you follow that, it will work.
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: if you are new to linux, ubuntu is a great start point
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> jsn: can you now connect to wifis?
[01:23] <mercury00> bazhang, sorry.
[01:23] <jsn> ActionParsnip, still the "unsupported driver: 'iwlwifi'"
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: if you like counterstrike then urban terror is nice :)
[01:24] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, Disabling power management didn't help as far as I could tell
[01:24] <gsr> ActionParsnip, MoON_WallK: so is Wolfenstein: enemy territory
[01:24] <MoON_WallK> nop i used linux mint , backtrack, ubuntu , crunchbang red hat and i am fond of linux \:D/
[01:24] <Synthos> perhaps there are other settings that I'm missing?
[01:24] <axisys> how do I slide the active windows like stack of cards instead of zoom out into a grid.. hardly see which one to pick on a laptop screen
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: then I suggest you run:    dmesg | less     see what happens at boot, see what is detected and not etc
[01:25] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: those are all ubuntu base.....
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: well, except red hat
[01:26] <MoON_WallK> yup my question was which are the best security patching linux OS i cn install for long time :D
[01:26] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, I did scan dmesg and didn't notice anything, but I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.  There were some warnings from syslog, but alas I cannot simply copy and paste easily
[01:26] <MoON_WallK> ne ways thank you bazhang , ActionParsnip for you help \:D/
[01:26] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, thats not an ubuntu support question
[01:26] <Synthos> I will try some other driver settings from windows and see what happens
[01:26] <mercury00> jsn, btw what's lspci -n | grep 06:00.0
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: you don't need to copy and paste naything, you need to skim read it for wifi stuffs
[01:27] <jsn> mercury00, 06:00.0 0280: 8086:4229 (rev 61)
[01:27] <Synthos> (it's wired)
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: well, wired then
[01:28] <sambagirl> I disagree with you bazhang. http://www.moonwalkinc.com/products/moonwalk-for-linux
[01:28] <gsr> MoON_WallK, for issues not related to ubuntu technical support, see #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:29] <Tharkis> Hi, I just wanted to let you know it worked. Thanks for the help!
[01:29] <Synthos> Alright, off i go
[01:29] <mercury00> Tharkis, yipee!
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: use cursors to scroll down, its a useful log
[01:29] <Tharkis> I agree mercury00
[01:30] <mercury00> jsn: ok, just checking, that's a totally supported card (and I know you said it already worked before just now stopped), ilwifi talks to it, so, does it give same message when trying to enable it?
[01:30] <trism> gsr: yeah that output doesn't look right at all, it isn't trying to get quantal/universe
[01:31] <gsr> trism: must be this crappy wifi.  will have to try again when I get home.
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> !info moonwalk
[01:31] <jsn> mercury00, worked for a long time, in fact. What command trying to enable it do you want me to try?
[01:31] <szal> nibbler_: please fix your connection, thank you
[01:31] <gsr> trism: thanks for the help anyway!
[01:32] <mercury00> jsn, are you on cli only?  does anyting show up in network manager?  wifi is controlled via several configs inthe system,
[01:32] <jeff123> Is browsing the web with an Ubuntu 12.04 live cd a security risk? Could your hard disk be compromised?
[01:33] <jsn> mercury00, I'm CLI for this. I never had any luck with network-managre. Let me check if I just started it.
[01:33] <simplew> i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background?
[01:33] <sambagirl> i'm curious, if you have 10.10 & 10.04 servers, you probably can't upgrade can you? something would surely break i suspect.  so you would have no choice but to rebuild and start from scratch?  is there a migration option?
[01:33] <mercury00> sambagirl, I've upgraded 10.04 and 1.10 servers to 12.04 a few times,
[01:34] <IdleOne> !eolupgrades | sambagirl
[01:34] <sambagirl> jeff123 anything is possible. i would imagine the NSA or CIA or DIA or IRS or FBI have a way to get in without the cd/dvd :)
[01:34] <mercury00> sambagirl, some things could break, but it depends on what you're running
[01:34] <Shinobi> None of my rdp views will connect to vbox remotely. It's enabled on the machine and there's no firewall. Rdesktop connects fine. Anyone have any idea why I can't connect using gnome-rdp, or remmina?
[01:34] <molqr> hey can i get the gnome-screen saver to tell me how long it was on ... basically i want to figure out how long was the screen locked for ... how long was i away from work
[01:34] <sambagirl> ok
[01:34] <jsn> mercury00, I try to stay CLI, anyway.
[01:35] <mercury00> jsn, so I'm already making assumptions that something else isn't getting in the way of the commands, like network manager changing ssytem configurations,
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: i'd shoot for a clean install then restore user data etc from backup
[01:36] <sambagirl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades that link has nothing but really really old releases.
[01:36] <sambagirl> ActionParsnip, that would require installing all the products all over again wouldn't it?
[01:36] <sambagirl> all the dependencies and all that right?
[01:36] <mercury00> jsn, if it were me, I'd probably try rmmod the iwlwifi module, then re modprobe-ing it, via cli, to see if any messages appear,
[01:37] <mercury00> jsn, checking /var/log/messages or dmesg or whatnot,
[01:37] <jsn> mercury00, I've tried. It works perfectly. lsmod is happily reporting iwlwifi
[01:37] <mercury00> jsn, ok that's a good thing,
[01:38] <simplew> i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background???
[01:38] <mercury00> jsn, maybe pastebin output of nm-tool?
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: indeed, both methods have advantages and disadvantages
[01:38] <jsn> Hey, wait! /var/log/messages is missing. dmesg output is fine, though.
[01:38] <mercury00> jsn, unless nm is not installed,
[01:38] <sambagirl> I imagine I would encounter some issues upgrading from Hoary to 12.xx LTS?
[01:39]  * sambagirl sighs
[01:39] <xangua> simplew: change your background to a purple one
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: thats going to take AGES
[01:39] <mercury00> jsn, it's ok, I think /var/log/messages is not universal to ubuntu,
[01:39] <mercury00> sambagirl, some very serious issues
[01:40] <sambagirl> I guess I will have to just map out a plan to do new installs and try to remember everything i have done in the past on those pizza boxes...
[01:40] <jsn> mercury00, nm-tool => http://pastebin.ca/2253616
[01:40] <simplew> xangua: i want to have my own background in my session but continue with the pirple one in unity
[01:40] <sambagirl> Centos, I have some centos based servers, just out of curiosity, do they persue LTS concept as well?
[01:40] <sambagirl> i'll ask that there
[01:40] <sambagirl> brb
[01:41] <mercury00> jsn, ok, unmanaged, which is ok for us for now, if you don't mind maybe pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
[01:41] <kermit> how do i install a realtime kernel?  mplayer pauses every time it reads about 5MB off disk
[01:42] <adknight87> Hi there
[01:42] <adknight87> I have a question
[01:42] <ek> Anyone here familiar with the way gParted assigns bootable MBR/partitions? I'm totally stuck trying to get my dual-boot grub menu to load. :(
[01:43] <ek> adknight87: Ask away.
[01:43] <jsn> mercury00, http://pastebin.ca/2253618   unchanged from when it was working
[01:44] <adknight87> I have a wine application that can launch protocol urls "imvu://"
[01:44] <adknight87> But I can't get xdg-open to do get it to open the link in the application
[01:44] <adknight87> I can do it via terminal
[01:44] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, I have the dmesg log, the only concerning thing I can see about dmesg is [   34.995699] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [   34.996436] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[01:44] <Synthos> I can pastebin the log (i copied a few logs to a shared partition)
[01:45] <Synthos> http://pastebin.com/VLdLASww
[01:45] <Synthos> (dmesg)
[01:45] <adknight87> ek: What operating systems are you dual booting
[01:46] <Synthos> I'm more concerned about this from the syslog:
[01:46] <Synthos> Nov 20 19:29:40 peterm-desktop NetworkManager[1227]: <warn> failed to allocate link cache: (-10) Operation not supported
[01:46] <ek> adknight87: You might want to check out the #wine or #playonlinux channels for more detailed help. They're a knowledgable bunch.
[01:46] <adknight87> This is more so the xdg-open part
[01:46] <ek> adknight87: Windows 8 and Kubuntu 12.10. Everthing installed okay, but I have no boot menu.
[01:46] <adknight87> ek: did you install windows 8 first?
[01:47] <jsn> Is there any chance that there is some constant, stuck in /proc/ from the one time I did a suspend/resume?
[01:47] <ek> adknight87: Yessir.
[01:47] <mercury00> jsn, yes, that looks just fine, do you have any options to iwlwifi in /etc/modprobe/ ?
[01:47] <mercury00>  jsn, nvmind, irrelevant, iwlwifi already working,
[01:48] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, here is a segment of my syslog http://pastebin.com/X36L0iVt   (I cannot pastebin all the data as it exceed pastebin's max)
[01:48] <adknight87> ek: I was thinking about doing the same thing and i had read about the mbr deal for dual booting. Apparently you just add the grub in the windows mbr I think?
[01:48] <mercury00> jsn, is your wifi built-in?  an pci-e mini card?
[01:48] <adknight87> ek not the grub
[01:48] <jsn> mercury00, it is built in. PCI-E mini? I don't know.
[01:48] <ek> adknight87: My MBR seems to be completely missing and installing grub to /dev/sda1 (early sectors) and /dev/sda5 (Linux) won't work. Even after I've set them as bootable via gParted. *shrug*
[01:49] <mercury00> jsn, I have gotten similar errors when my card died.  Also, when it was physically switched off, but I can't find any info about your laptop's wifi-switch
[01:49] <Maccer> So, I managed to break pulseaudio, but not jack. Any way to reconfigure it? I think it's because I installed a pulseaudio-jack module and added it the default.pa, but I reverted all of that and I still have no audio. Any thoughts?
[01:49] <mercury00> jsn, and to confirm, when you do a sudo lshw -C network, it no longer shows disabled or unclaimed?
[01:49] <adknight87> ek: use the startup repair on the windows install disk
[01:49] <jsn> mercury00, there is a switch. iwlist works, though, so it can't be all bad
[01:49] <jsn> mercury00, correct, no longer disabled, it hasn't shown me unclaimed
[01:50] <mercury00> jsn, does iwlist show wifi's, or empty list?
[01:50] <jsn> mercury00, it shows networks.
[01:50] <ek> adknight87: Just to replace the MBR? Can I then replace it with a grub boot menu?
[01:50] <mercury00> jsn, but you're unable to connect?
[01:50] <jsn> mercury00, correct.
[01:50] <adknight87> ek: no you add in the part for windows to know there's another operating system.
[01:51] <jsn> mercury00, but it stops with that unsupported driver message, rather than something else
[01:52] <ek> adknight87: The grub installation and configuration sees everything, it just doesn't install the bootloader into the correct place, apparently. IE: When I boot the system, it finds nothing even though I've installed GRUB.
[01:52] <mercury00> jsn, hmm, yeah I don't trust the message, just hoping to get better error output,
[01:53] <adknight87> ek: hmm what partition file formats do you have set up
[01:53] <mercury00> jsn, honestly, it seems like the card is mostly OK, and this is where things get ugly with wifi.  I'd try connecting to an unsecured network as a test.
[01:53] <adknight87> ek: I remember certain file systems not being read from grub
[01:53] <jsn> mercury00, Maybe this will help you? http://pastebin.ca/2253620
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, at this point you have to start using the split half approach,
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, ah,
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, what do you get 'file /dev/lan0'
[01:54] <simplew> isnt possible to disable what triggers unity wallpaper change when a user changes the session wallpaper?
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, er 'file /dev/wlan0'
[01:55] <Shinobi> If I upgrade my dist, will my packages work, or do I have to reinstall everything?
[01:55] <adknight87> how does xdg-open work exactly?
[01:55] <mercury00> jsn, 'file /var/run/wpa_suplicant', and 'ls -Flah /var/run/wpa_supplicant', those should be done sudo/root
[01:55] <jsn> mercury00, /dev/wlan0: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/wlan0' (No such file or directory)
[01:56] <ek> adknight87: I have an unallocated /dev/sda1 (bootable via gParted), a /dev/sda3 (Windows 8), a /dev/sda4 (Linux swap) and a /dev/sda5 (Linux /).
[01:56] <Juanopsy> hey all
[01:56] <jsn> mercury00, /var/run/wpa_supplicant is not present, either
[01:56] <mercury00> jsn (but I assume you're already root/sudo)
[01:56] <Juanopsy> some help to remote acces from ub un
[01:56] <ek> adknight87: I read about the unrecognized grub partitions as well. I've tried roughly 6 different methods to get a menu and they have all failed. Hence the reason I'm here. :)
[01:56] <Juanopsy> some help to remote acces from ubuntu to ubuntu
[01:57] <mercury00> jsn, ah, that's fine because we want them not preexisting,
[01:57] <ek> Juanopsy: Can you be more specific, please?
[01:57] <adknight87> ek: well kubuntu has the same installation method as ubuntu right? if you just give it the right partition without the swap it will make the swap.
[01:58] <Juanopsy> ek: yes, I want to remote acces to a friends computer over internet... what software should I use?
[01:58] <adknight87> ek: Unless you want it a certain size then I can see you just walking through that but usually you can do that after you had made the main partition for kubuntu.
[01:58] <ek> adknight87: Yep. Same method. However, I had to do a manual installation since the installer didn't recognize my Winderz OS for whatever reason.
[01:58] <blackness> Juanopsy, connect how? ftp, terminal, x?
[01:58] <Juanopsy> ek: full control?
[01:58] <adknight87> ek: that's odd. What device is this?
[01:59] <blackness> Juanopsy, you can use SSH for terminal, or VNC for GUI.
[01:59] <Juanopsy> ek: like remote desktop
[01:59] <mbrigdan> Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
[01:59] <ek> Juanopsy: SSH is what you're looking for. Console access and you can actually run X windows as well.
[01:59] <blackness> VNC will work for you.. Juanopsy
[01:59] <ek> adknight87: ASUS X75A laptop.
[01:59] <Juanopsy> blackness: thx
[01:59] <blackness> Welcome.
[02:00] <adknight87> ek: Let me see if I can check something out. I have a Samsung Chronos 7 series. xD
[02:00] <ek> Juanopsy: Yes. SSH w/ X11 forwarding will work or a VNC, as blackness suggested.
[02:00] <furian> could someone suggest what i would look at to identify why randomly xubuntu 12.10 closes all programs and just shows the desktop?
[02:00] <ek> adknight87: Alrighty. Thanks.
[02:00] <ek> furian: Nothing in your logs?
[02:01] <furian> what lof should i look at?
[02:01] <almoxarife> furian: /var/log/syslog is a good start
[02:01] <furian> log*
[02:01] <furian> thanks
[02:01] <almoxarife> welkome
[02:01] <ek> furian: Also, try to run a "find / -type f -iname "*.core" " command to see if there are core crash files.
[02:02] <Juanopsy> ek: whats the diference of x11 and vnc?
[02:03] <mercury00> jsn, I'd try connecting to an unsecured network for the diagnosic results, and doing the ifup with -v
[02:03] <ek> Juanopsy: A VNC is a connection that basically puts your computer securely into a remote LAN (even though it's remote..) SSH is an encrypted shell that allows you to authenticate and execute commands on the remote system.
[02:04] <adknight87> ek: should be a easy install on there I had a 8 gig onboard ssd drive and it listed it but I haven't used it. Anyways do you have anything on windows I'm thinking a fresh start by erasing the whole hard drive and getting rid of the mbr along with it.
[02:04] <webnet> im getting this when i try to install anything http://pastebin.com/9NMhHcDD
[02:04] <MartinS> hey
[02:04] <Juanopsy> ek: thankiu man...
[02:05] <jsn> mercury00, I am actually quite unwell. It is still a few weeks until the cure, and then some time to recover. I'll have to do this tomorrow, as my stomcah will not currently leave me alone.
[02:05] <ek> adknight87: Well, I'm thinking this may have been because I deleted all of the no-sense partitions from Windows 8 immediately. For instance, the backup/restore partitions and such. They're stupid for me to have.
[02:05] <Squall5668> Hey guys, apparently grub got destroyed. I tried repairing it from a live CD but i get all sorts of errors like "gpt partition label contains no bios boot partition". Paste from Boot-Repair is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373879/ I was just messing with mysql before all that. Note: it's a VM
[02:05] <webnet> tried removing the package which wont remove without ripping out
[02:05] <furian> ek, no results for that search string you posted
[02:05] <webnet> all of libre office
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> webnet: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[02:05] <jsn> mercury00, thank you, and ActionParsnip, for your efforts.
[02:05] <jsn> Good night.
[02:05] <webnet> lucid
[02:05] <webnet> ActionParsnip
[02:05] <adknight87> ek: windows 8 makes to file partitions 100mb and the system
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> webnet: on the desktop?
[02:06] <webnet> yessir ActionParsnip
[02:06] <adknight87> ek: the 100mb is the obvious mbr location.
[02:06] <ek> adknight87: So, perhaps something got lost. However, Windows booted fine earlier even after the Linux install. It just booted directly into Winderz. After I messed with gParted and "boot-repair", I can't log into anything.
[02:06] <ek> adknight87: Right. I left 300MB at the beginning of the disk. It's still there.
[02:06] <mercury00> jsn, night
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> webnet: is it Bhodilinux?
[02:07] <webnet> ActionParsnip im running BT5 R3
[02:07] <Shinobi> If I upgrade my dist, do I lose all my software?
[02:07] <adknight87> ek: boot repair from windows? or linux?
[02:07] <ek> furian: Alright. So, the programs aren't crashing. Are you sure they aren't just hidden or lost to the GUI?
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: then ask in #backtrack-linux please
[02:07] <webnet> its based on lucid tho. they told me to ask here because its a ubuntu specific issue not bt issue
[02:07] <ek> adknight87: Linux. "apt-get install boot-repair".
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the package you are having issue with is not an Ubuntu package, and you aren't even using Ubuntu
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: none of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported here
[02:08] <adknight87> ek: last time I messed up my mbr I had gone into the repair console using windows start up disk and fixmbr
[02:08] <webnet> ActionParsnip LibreOffice is an ubuntu package...
[02:08] <ek> adknight87: It never worked for shit... So, I went with the standard console commands for re-installing grub. However, it still presents no boot menu.
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> webnet: equally, ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> webnet: this channel is ONLY for canonical releases
[02:08] <ek> adknight87: That will fix Winderz, correct? After that's fixed, how did you get your GRUB menu back?
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: Run the install for ubuntu again
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: Kubuntu
[02:09] <adknight87> Lol
[02:09] <furian> ek, i feel silly, i bumped the mouse wheel and it changed workspaces, i am new to xubuntu, sorry for wasting your time
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the guys in #backtrack-linux will help you as that is what you are using
[02:09] <ek> Bah! I don't want to re-install! Lol.
[02:09] <webnet> like i said i was directed her by BT because BT is a toolkit rather than an OS itself its customized ubuntu. but ill try again
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: it won't overwrite data
[02:09] <sygb> 5
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: I don't think
[02:09] <ek> furian: Haha. No problem. I was going to ask about that but I didn't want you to feel insulted. :)
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the OS is backtrack, so your support is in the backtrack channel;
[02:10] <webnet> again ill say i was directed here but ok
[02:10] <furian> what keyed me in is my other user name is here in irc
[02:10] <furian> thanks
[02:10] <ek> adknight87: No. I'm sure it won't. I'm just lazy.
[02:10] <adknight87> ek: imagine how I felt when I installed kernel 3.5
[02:11] <ek> adknight87: It's certainly worth a shot. I have everything backed up so it isn't a big deal. I just hate not being able to figure stuff out.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: and nothing booted
[02:11] <mbrigdan> Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
[02:11] <ek> adknight87: Yup. Been there.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: Well all I know is you can format the hard drive all you want but the mbr is stuck on here.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: Windows was the only method for cleaning the mbr out
[02:11] <ek> I just wanted to try everything I could to see if I could get my boot menu back.
[02:12] <ek> I don't like being stumped...
[02:12] <ek> adknight87: I'm not surprised. I've had problems like this before. If I didn't "NEED" Windows, I wouldn't give a rat's ass. But, school requires it.
[02:12] <adknight87> I always thought it was file corruption
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: you can use dd in liveCD to wipe an MBR :)
[02:13] <ek> You know... Internet Exploder and such. VirtualBox isn't efficient enough.
[02:13] <ek> ActionParsnip: More info, please.
[02:13] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: I didn't have internet at the time just a micro sdcard with windows on it
[02:13] <brandon420> My internet is being retarded.. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> ek: on what?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: gotcha
[02:14] <ek> ActionParsnip: Wiping an MBR.
[02:14] <ek> ActionParsnip: I don't even seem to have one.
[02:15] <ek> brandon420: Right direction for what? Sorry, I don't see anything above that you've asked.
[02:15] <adknight87> wait wait dd?
[02:15] <ek> adknight87: Yup. I can see it working if it's not mounted or at least accessible.
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/ghost-for-linux-vs-acronis-vs-g4l/28130.html
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: all I did was:  http://duckduckgo.com/?q=wipe+MBR+dd
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: not hard....is it?
[02:16] <brandon420> My internet will go out like every 10ish minutes, and i have to restart my computer for it to work again
[02:16] <ek> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll take a look.
[02:17] <adknight87> ek: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm
[02:17] <brandon420> What is the problem, and how do i fix it?
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> ek: using the webs to search for things instead of asking frees helpers up.
[02:17] <adknight87> xD it's nice to see it on a list he can print out
[02:18] <ek> ActionParsnip: That doesn't clear the MBR. In fact, it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> ek: it does, it puts 0s in the first 512k of drive
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> ek: that is where the MBR resides
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> ek: so it does clear the MBR
[02:19] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: Makes it unreadable
[02:19] <ek> ActionParsnip: Well, if that's where the system's MBR is, yes. However, mine isn't there, apparently.
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: all 0s, yep..pretty unreadable :)
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> ek: then you willneed to find out and do that to the partition, rather than the disk
[02:20] <ek> Unallocated is exactly what it should be. So, unreadable would be great.
[02:20] <ek> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to figure out why GRUB isn't booting into the menu.
[02:20] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: take in account he has windows still already on there.
[02:21] <adknight87> ek: you do that you'll lose the windows start xD
[02:21] <adknight87> ek: How many times have you tried installing kubuntu?
[02:22] <ek> adknight87: In my life or just on this system?
[02:22] <adknight87> ek: when the problem started
[02:22] <ek> On this system, once. In my life, probably thousands...
[02:22] <ek> adknight87: Only once.
[02:22] <ek> Just installed it.
[02:23] <adknight87> ek: would be so much easier if I could just go through the motions then thinking about how to explain it lol
[02:23] <adknight87> ek: is this your only chat?
[02:23] <ek> adknight87: Well, yes. That's the issue. I've still got both systems installed but no menu to choose from.
[02:23] <ek> They both work for sure.
[02:24] <ek> adknight87: What do you mean?
[02:24] <skulltip> is unity 2d going away
[02:24] <adknight87> skype msn ... brosix, jitsi,
[02:24] <adknight87> fail ymessenger
[02:24] <ek> adknight87: I have skype, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, etc...
[02:24] <adknight87> ah
[02:24] <dr_willis> skulltip:n 12.10 its gone
[02:25] <adknight87> add me on skype and I'll give ya a ordered list to try out
[02:25] <skulltip> so i need a decent system to install 12.10
[02:25] <adknight87> <---
[02:25] <adknight87> I keep my sn's obvious
[02:25] <skulltip> or at least video card
[02:25] <ek> adknight87: Alrighty. Gimme a moment.
[02:25] <dr_willis> skulltip:  not really. from what i hear
[02:26] <skulltip> anyway, < 97% complete downloading TF2 :) no longer beta
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> skulltip: its dead after Precise. Quantal uses 3d only
[02:30] <Scriminamp> wat
[02:30] <skulltip> netflix doesn't work well in kde, screen is all white. going to try it in unity in a few, running 12.04
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> skulltip: i'd ask in #winehq too
[02:30] <skulltip> good idea, thanks
[02:31] <adknight87> netflix - Virtualbox
[02:31] <skulltip> adknight87 - wine :)
[02:32] <adknight87> I got steam native :P
[02:32] <adknight87> who doesn't actually

[02:38] <ActionParsnip> QS81: sweet :)
[02:38] <QS81> Blackness: the learning curve with ubuntu is great but the satisfaction is oh so sweet once you do it.
[02:39] <Amelia26> sorry, i crashed
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Amelia26: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[02:39] <Amelia26> Linux LWEB06 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-default #1 Fri Sep 4 01:28:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:39] <Amelia26> its a SLES sp10
[02:39] <blackness> Yes i know..this is why i love linux in general..fixing stuff is fun and Very rewarding..
[02:39] <ikonia> whoaa
[02:39] <ikonia> Amelia26: why are you asking in #ubuntu then ?
[02:39] <QS81> now I get to retweak everything to how I want it in 12.10 but that's a small feat considering.
[02:39] <axisys> looking for recommendation on how to replace unity with something else like gnome shell?
[02:39] <ikonia> Amelia26: or have I missunderstood what you are asking for ?
[02:39] <xangua> !nounity | axisys
[02:39] <QS81> later all and thank you muchly!
[02:40] <blackness> QS81, i have my own custom setup.sh just for things like that ;)
[02:40] <Amelia26> ubuntu people are helpful :)
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> axisys: instal gnome-shell package from the repos, log off and change the sessio
[02:40] <Amelia26> sles ppl are... is there any sles people ?
[02:40] <muji> hello fellas/femmas, i tried to do apt-get update and i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409667
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Amelia26: we only support ubuntu here, helpful or not
[02:40] <ikonia> Amelia26: so are suse people, we don't support suse here, use the opensuse channel
[02:40] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:41] <Amelia26> danke
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> axisys: you change session with the ubuntu logo near your username ;)
[02:41] <xangua> !gpgerr | muji
[02:41] <Sazzo> Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:41] <webnet> and now i have been kicked from BT's chan because they said i was spamming as this is a ubuntu issue not a BT5 issue...
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> webnet: you are using backtrack
[02:42] <muji> i did install a few custom themes
[02:42] <ikonia> webnet: it's not an ubuntu issue, you are using backtrack
[02:42] <webnet> yes i am but ive just been kickbanned because its an issue with ubuntu not BT5
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> webnet: i'd take it up in #freenode then
[02:42] <webnet> thats what i was told that support for this kind of error should be asked about HERE
[02:43] <webnet> not there
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: you where told you had installed an EXTERNAL repo
[02:43] <webnet> then they kicked me fore continuing to ask]
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: that means it is not software provided by backtrack OR ubuntu
[02:43] <muji> xangua, what do i do after that?
[02:43] <axisys> ActionParsnip: gnome-shell pkg asking gdm or lightdm.. since I am planning to replace unity, should I choose gdm?
[02:43] <ikonia> so you need to deal with a.) the people who maintain the repo b.) backtrack to get support / intergration
[02:43] <webnet> yes one repo for a git toollkit which has nothing to do with the dependancy issue ikonia
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> axisys: you can use either, lightdm is the default in Ubuntu
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: ok - so nothing to do with ubuntu
[02:44] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:44] <xangua> muji: you have the key in your paste and now you have the command to add it :)
[02:44] <ikonia> backtrack to get compatability and the repo maintainer to fix any repo problems
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: nice pun
[02:44] <webnet> ikonia no it is a ubuntu issue as LibreOffice is a UBUNTU package
[02:44] <muji> okay so i just run it? sorry i havn't been on linux in a while
[02:44] <ikonia> webnet: it's not an UBUNTU repo
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> webnet: its also a Mandriva package and a Suse package and a Puppy package....so what
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: and installing ubuntu software on backtrack is NOT an ubuntu issue
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: so please - drop it from this channel
[02:45] <webnet> i didnt install from a repo ikonia
[02:45] <ikonia> take it back to #backtracklinux and tell them the information
[02:45] <webnet> so where should i go for help then ActionParsnip
[02:45] <xangua> muji: easy as pie :) sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: ok - well, it's still not an ubuntu problem
[02:45]  * Sazzo murmurs....some of us can use help. :)
[02:45] <webnet> ikonia ive been banned
[02:45] <webnet> from bt's chan
[02:45] <Princeee> hi
[02:45] <Killswitch> Hello, I am having problems, I run 12.04 and nameservers don't work in /etc/networks/interface but they do in resolv.conf but resolv.conf gets overwritten… How do I fix this?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> webnet: i'd reinstall wih Ubuntu and use that, you will then find things are a lot nicer
[02:45] <ikonia> not #ubuntu's problem
[02:46] <Sazzo> Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:46] <ikonia> webnet: you where kicked, not banned
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Killswitch: add them as you do in /etc/resolv.conf  in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[02:46] <ikonia> actually you where banned, my mistake
[02:47] <muji> xangua, i did it, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409688
[02:47] <webnet> ikonia it wont let me rejoin... i get an error your are not allowed to connect to this channel
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> does Flannel still come in, not seen that name for ages
[02:47] <Sazzo> jeez.. so change your IP and nic and go back in
[02:47] <ikonia> webnet: talk to the operators, either way, you've had more than enough offtopic help now
[02:47] <ikonia> Sazzo: please don't tell people to evade bans
[02:47] <Sazzo> ikonia, well the offtopic crap went on far too long :/
[02:47] <webnet>  Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned). ikonia
[02:47] <IdleOne> webnet: right, you were banned. That doesn't change the fact that it isn't an Ubuntu problem.
[02:47] <ikonia> webnet: I know - you've said, we can't help you here,
[02:47] <doomlord> wifi / sony vaio - at the minute i dont see my wifi networks in ubuntu.is there anyyhing  i can check to see if the wireless hardware is working
[02:47] <ikonia> Sazzo: and it's ended now
[02:48] <xangua> muji: looks good ;)
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> webnet: can you see a pattern forming?
[02:48] <doomlord> network icon -> edit network connections ->
[02:48] <webnet> fine i guess ill live with a broken system since no one is willing to help. thanks guise
[02:48] <ikonia> ok, bye
[02:48] <Sazzo> webnet, hit a forum.. cya later
[02:48] <Heather_> question: I'm installing ubuntu server for web-hosting purposes. How much disc should I ddedicate for the OS?
[02:48] <Heather_> dedicate*
[02:48] <doomlord> is there a commandline that should tell me if wireless hardware is recognized and on
[02:48] <muji> and than when i run apt-get update i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409693
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Heather_: if you aren't comfortable in the CLI pure, use the desktop OS
[02:48] <ikonia> Heather_: you need to do a sizing exercise
[02:48] <ikonia> not ask randomly, it's your system
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: sudo lshw -C network
[02:49] <doomlord> i'll try that; i've also just clicked settings->network; i see it says "wireless -> unavailable"
[02:49] <muji> xangua, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409693
[02:49] <doomlord> airplane mode was on
[02:50] <doomlord> (my vaio's hardware wireless switch is defintiely on)
[02:50] <Sazzo> 12.04 LTS..desktop..Unity..  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[02:50] <xangua> muji: mmm weird
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: sure
[02:51] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, lshw - says "*-network DISABLED \n description: Wireless interface .... "
[02:51] <muji> xangua: lol yea usually i can fix errors my self and learn, but this one has me stumpt
[02:51] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, any idea how?  I've looked in the kb settings and it doesn't specify....will i need compiz to do this?
[02:51] <Heather_> ActionParsnip so the server version I've downloaded does not have a desktop?
[02:51] <ikonia> Heather_: you need to do a LOT more research
[02:51] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, - thanks that helped - i see more now..
[02:52] <Heather_> okay
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> Heather_: no its all comand line
[02:52] <ikonia> you appear to have just rushed in without doing any checking of what you are doing, what you are getting and how to do what you want
[02:52] <Sazzo> Heather_, I aree with ikonia .. FYI there is nothing wrong with making your server in a desktop install. you can always disable the gui stuff once you achieve your server goal(s).
[02:52] <DrManhattan> if I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, I don't need the generic-pae kernel, do I?
[02:52] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, - thanks - for future reference , what did rfkill unblock all do ? now i think i remember i might have actually disabled something (where i can't remember) to get rid of connection popups :)
[02:53] <ikonia> DrManhattan: no
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: is this what you ultimately want: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105558/how-do-i-disable-the-super-key
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: does what your switch should do, just in software
[02:53] <Princeee> im a complete newbie i managed to get ubuntu 12.10 server up and running.. i havent got to the point of using a remote to ssh in yet but thats the next goal step at a time....
[02:53] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, sort of.  I did find that page but it didn't specify which super key.
[02:53] <Princeee> i can say i found alot help here thou as i learn
[02:53] <RamchandraApte> DrManhattan: install the 64-bit kernel
[02:53] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, I might just yank the key out :)
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: i guess
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: each key makes an event ID, the keys are unique
[02:55] <muji> xangua: i tried this and it worked: http://pastie.org/5409712
[02:55] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, I am aware.. just gotta find where that specific key assignment is being passed from.
[02:55] <Sazzo> Thanks.
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: could add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line if it's still needed after a reboot
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: run:   xev    and press each key
[02:56] <skulltip> tf2 isn't too shabby
[02:56] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, yes,.. but if I do, then what can I do result?
[02:56] <Sazzo> can i do with the result?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: let me see
[02:56] <Sazzo> no rush man
[02:56] <Sazzo> help others out
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: seems you can use xmodmap to map it
[02:57] <muji> does anyone know how i can check wheather i have encrypted my home folder or not?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: here is one for caps lock, could be useful
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4378
[03:00] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, yep there are enough clues there.. thanks.
[03:00] <DrManhattan> RamchandraApte, yeah im installing off of the 64 bit alternate and I noticed it offers me generic-pae
[03:00] <axisys> wow.. I got soo used to unity.. needed to come back to it.. lol
[03:01] <RamchandraApte> axisys: me the opposite
[03:04] <axisys> now I just need to find a way to roll through the active sessions like stack of cards instead of zoom out to a grid like tiny views with alt+tab
[03:05] <Evil_Eric> hey whats the command that shows you when something breaks what broke
[03:05] <DrManhattan> whats the GUI nowadays?
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: for what?
[03:05] <DrManhattan> default ubuntu GUI
[03:05] <Evil_Eric> unity
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: Gnome + Compiz + Xorg + Unity Shell
[03:05] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, Jesus Christ
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: what/
[03:06]  * DrManhattan basically quit using linux gui around the same time as gnome3
[03:06] <DrManhattan> the closest I would get now would be some kinda ncurses app
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: if you replace unity shell with gnome-panel  that is what it used to be......
[03:07] <DrManhattan> nah I've tried out gnome panel
[03:07] <DrManhattan> it just aint the same
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: xfce has the gnome2 smell
[03:08] <DrManhattan> there's nothing that compares to win7 and osx for GUI in linux. its not even close anymore
[03:08] <jhonatan> buenas
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: in your opinion
[03:08] <jhonatan> necesito ayudad
[03:08] <jhonatan> necesito ayuda
[03:08] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, of course, which is what it is
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: thats fine
[03:08] <ikonia> !ru | jhonatan
[03:09] <DrManhattan> but I don't really mean it in a fanboy way. I miss being able to use linux on desktop
[03:09] <jhonatan> ?
[03:09] <Evil_Eric> whats the command to veiw the log that shows broken things
[03:09] <somsip> !es | jhonatan
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: looks aren't important to me. I love how I can do full web browsing, media playback, cd burning and DVD playback for 3Gb space and 240Mb RAM :)
[03:10] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, yeah, I need GAMES
[03:10] <DrManhattan> hell, I need PDAnet
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: urban terror, penumbra, all the humble bundles
[03:10] <daxus> you can use wine to play windows games
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: steam is in beta
[03:10] <DrManhattan> lol
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: doom3 runs native as well as others
[03:10] <DrManhattan> cmon guys, im talking battlefield 3, Skyrim, GTA4 here
[03:11] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, opengl stuff. Yeah.
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13667
[03:11] <DrManhattan> back when I played counterstrike a lot I used linux and wine
[03:11] <DrManhattan> I got way better framerates
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22316
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: still runs
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: world of warcraft gets better frames under wine
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Additional notes:
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Running on Low and Medium settings, High and Ultra ended up being to too choppy with my current hardware)
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE :)
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Ihave a gtx570
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: congrats
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> penumbra is well worth the money, great survivor fps
[03:15] <DrManhattan> the vid shows linux as having 1/2 the framerate on wow but still, nice
[03:15] <DrManhattan> wait, never mine
[03:15] <DrManhattan> mind
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: yep :)
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: personally if i 'needed games' I'd get a console which is designed for that task and use the PC for the bigboy work
[03:18] <DrManhattan> I use it for both
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> i like the separation, makes sense
[03:18] <DrManhattan> and you're not going to do much professional level video editing or audio production in linux
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: there was one that won awards recently
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october

[03:20] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: an oscar....can't be bad
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: "Excited? You should be. Notable films edited using the software include .The King.s Speech. and .Hugo.."   still no good?
[03:21] <DrManhattan> Lightworks isn't exactly strictly linux
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist
[03:21] <arinov> how to remove broken packages?
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: who said it hads to be specifically Linux. Its a native video editor for linux
[03:22] <DrManhattan> Good for you :)
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> arinov: if you can give the output of:  sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename      pastebin the output please
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: not going to do much professional level video editting in linux..... disproved. Absolutely
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> arinov: something like pastebin.ubuntu.com :)
[03:23] <arinov> ActionParsnip, its not in english
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> arinov: no worries, paste away
[03:24] <arinov> ActionParsnip, rmdir: unknown key «--ignore-if-not-empty»
[03:24] <arinov> ok
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> arinov: use the pastebin and paste the whole text please
[03:24] <arinov> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373996/
[03:26] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, not disproved - but fanboy on :)
[03:26] <DrManhattan> Maybe you can go find me big buck bunny or some cinelerra projects too :))
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: I can just gve concrete examples of things to disprove what you say, not fanboying at all. Just pointing out incorrectness. There is a difference
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> arinov: is there a firebird server?
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> arinov: sorry, channel
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia, based on Ubuntu 12.10. And I want to reconfigure gwibber with resetting everything.
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> But i cannot reset gwibber. How can I do that?
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: ask in the mint channel please
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> !mint | Emmanuel_Chanel
[03:34] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: i already gave you a link how that is incorrect, move on
[03:35] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
[03:35] <Emmanuel_Chanel> If I take my problem for same as Ubuntu 12.10, what do you answer?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: its not suported here
[03:35] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I know where Linux Mint channel is.
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' OSes are supported here
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: then why ask here
[03:36] <KI4RO> .
[03:36] <KI4RO> Where would one get help with Libre Office Spreadsheets?
[03:37] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I want to find answer with asking widely... :(
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: its not supported here
[03:37] <ubuntu_noob> hey guys, just did full install of ubuntu and going to give it a chance, but seems like intel graphic didn't install fully
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: the support for mintg is completely separate to Ubuntu
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: are you fully updated?
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian. If you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you wil be pointed here
[03:38] <ubuntu_noob> yes, but under details graphic driver is unknown
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: can you use a pastebin to give the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; xrandr
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: something like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
[03:40] <DrManhattan> Emmanuel_Chanel, maybe someone else will be able to help you reset gwibber. Hang in there, give it some time, and don't talk about mint :)
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> or just ask in the right place....
[03:41] <ubuntu_noob> all that's pops up is (PCI)
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: give it time, your pci bus is slow
[03:42] <jotterbot1234> Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone had time to look at my question on server fault regarding Ubuntu?
[03:42] <jotterbot1234> http://serverfault.com/questions/450718/ubuntu-12-04-server-eth0-1gbps-nic-eth1-10gbps-nic-all-traffic-using-eth0
[03:44] <ubuntu_noob> k, maybe problem is should of install 64bit instead......being i3 system
[03:45] <arinov> ActionParsnip, nope
[03:45] <arinov> ActionParsnip, but it was installed by ubuntu software center
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> !find firebird
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> indeed
[03:47] <ubuntu_noob> here's the results http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374019/
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: cool, and the rest of the command I gave, please :)
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: you can scroll the terminal using the mouse pointer
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> arinov: are there any bugs reported?
[03:48] <brightsparks> I'm having difficulty getting the system to see a card reader with a memory card in it. It;s not showing up in the computer and I have looked in file Media and it's not show there neither
[03:49] <arinov> ActionParsnip, only my report
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> arinov: :(
[03:49] <brightsparks> Any suggestions welcome
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the storage?
[03:51] <ubuntu_noob> here's the whole thing http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374023/
[03:51] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: let me just that...
[03:51] <RamchandraApte> Doesn't ubuntu repos contain non-free apps? (like amnesia)
[03:52] <RamchandraApte> "Ubuntu applications are all free and open source — so you can share them with anyone you like, as often as you like." but non-free apps are there in the repos
[03:53] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: yes I see it
[03:53] <xangua> RamchandraApte: in the nonfree repository, do you have an ubuntu support question¿
[03:54] <RamchandraApte> xangua: I asked on #ubuntu-offtopic and they said ask on #ubuntu
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: can you manually mount it?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> RamchandraApte: there are some nonfree (as in speech) apps, like flash
[03:55] <ubuntu_noob> got more updates maybe after restart can have drivers
[03:55] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: manually mount it? not sure. How would I do that?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: what is the name of the partition?
[03:55] <blackshirt> For some times, flash was suck
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: not had an issue in all my linux days :)
[03:56] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: it's /dev/sdb
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> RamchandraApte: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/amnesia/
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: that is the device, you want the partition which will be /dev/sdb1   do you see /dev/sdb1 ?
[03:58] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: yes   /dev/sdb1
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: sudo mkdir /media/SD; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SD -o rw,users,uid=1000
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> Bry8Star{EB: what file system is the SD card using?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> Bry8Star{EB: what thing was it in last before you ejected it? A windows PC? Camera?
[04:00] <MrELusiveness> needing help
[04:00] <arinov> ActionParsnip, is there a way to remove package manually?
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: wassup?
[04:01] <linuxuz3r> how do i sign out off empathy?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> arinov: could try:  sudo dpkg -r packagename
[04:01]  * DrManhattan puts his fists up in the air at ActionParsnip --cmon cmon put em up
[04:01] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: it says: mount: you must specify the file system type
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> ill pastebin in a sec
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> there
[04:01] <linuxuz3r> how do i sign out off empathy?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> Bry8Star{EB: what file system is the SD card using?
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> not sure how i fubared it but so far reinstall of ubuntu look slike only option
[04:02] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[04:02] <MrELusiveness> checking

[04:03] <MrELusiveness> i should have known that
[04:03] <MrELusiveness> :P
[04:03] <MrELusiveness> 12.04
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: then run:  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SD -t vfat -o rw,users,uid=1000
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: and if you run:  apt-cache policy wine    what version is installed?
[04:04] <brandon420> Can someone give me any idea on why my internet is sucking hardcore the past couple of days. I have no made any recent changes, and it is the only device that seems to have this problem
[04:04] <MrELusiveness> i have 1.4 installed but it says 1.5.17 as candidate
[04:04] <MrELusiveness> you should see what it says
[04:04] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: yep. Thank you v much for your help.
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: you could run:  sudo apt-get upgrade   and get that, then delete ~/.wine  see if it helps
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: when you want to remove it, run:  sudo umount /media/SD; sudo eject /dev/sdb1
[04:05] <MrELusiveness> ive deleted the hidden wine many times
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: you will probably find it automounts then (graceful and proper removal) :)
[04:05] <MrELusiveness> nothign seems to fix it
[04:06] <MrELusiveness> purge everyting doesnt work either
[04:06] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, isnt it /media/user/device?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: not for manually mounted :)
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: get the update then run notepad to make the folder. May help
[04:06] <brandon420> oh okay. =)

[04:13] <kop> WeThePeople, minimal custom kernel but all said it really isn't worth the effort
[04:13] <MrELusiveness> that line upgraded nothing
[04:14] <kop> compiz is a real resource drain
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: use LXDE or XFCE instead, they use significantly fewer resources
[04:14] <kop> <---what he said , beat me to it
[04:16] <MrELusiveness> wel i ened to figure out what is causing that error and remove it
[04:16] <MrELusiveness> if i cant figure it out then its format time

[04:33] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: trying but not succeeding :D
[04:33] <MrELusiveness> i was just making a joke cause you posted the link with the other guys name who posted it
[04:33] <kop> ActionParsnip, you win today but that was much like my weekend
[04:34] <_jam> i'm going to check the bios
[04:34] <dales_pale> I just installed, and it's auto-mounting the 2nd internal drive to /media/me/drive ... how can I remove this config?
[04:34] <MrELusiveness> I had my bowl earlyer  a bowl of cerial
[04:35] <MrELusiveness> and everyone was like ooooHHH a BOWL @@

[04:37] <rafase282> hello can someone help me with ssh? I want to set it up so I can ssh from outside my lan
[04:37] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY   ahem
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: port forward port 22/TCP in your routr to the IP of the system running the ssh server
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: is that with wine 1.5?
[04:38] <rafase282> can I forward multiple ports?
[04:38] <MrELusiveness> any of them
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: sure
[04:38] <MrELusiveness> its liek a perma phuck
[04:38] <rafase282> i have ssh, torrent client, and i want to use the internet
[04:39] <rafase282> i had this setup log ago but i cant remember how to do it
[04:39] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: can I pick your brains - whenever I return the memory card we just mounted to the digital camera the camera says the card is full and I have to remount and of course lose everything that was on the card. Any ideas?
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: did you unmount and eject it?
[04:40] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: I meant to say I have to reformat it in the camera. I unmounted it as you suggested via the terminal yes
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: you could check the file system for errors. Do you have a windows PC around?
[04:42] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: not at hand but later maybe - so check the file system on...?
[04:42] <MikeS11> I have problems with my flashplayer crashing. Does Firefox have a log which I might be able to use to find out more information about the problem? Where would this log be?
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: check the SD card is healthy. FAT32 isn't terribly robust
[04:42] <MrELusiveness> 1.4 wine
[04:42] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: I have had the same problem with using a different memory card.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: can you pastebin the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[04:43] <MrELusiveness> ActionParsnip
[04:43] <usr13> MikeS11:  You could run firefox from terminal and see what appears in the terminal as the flashplayer crashes.
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: did you try upgrading to 1.5?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: I'd ask in #winehq too
[04:44] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: so you recommend mounting the card in windows and seeing if I have the same issue I take it that's what your saying? Guess I'll have to do that. Thanks.
[04:44] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374083/
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: yeah, see if you can check the file system for errors too. Remember to use the safe remove in windows too
[04:45] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: right
[04:46] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip & usr13 : When I ran firefox from terminal - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374084/
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: so, dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'   only outputs flashplugin-installer ?
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> oh man ive tried it all
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> no one seems to know how to fix it
[04:46] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: Correct. I added in the firefox packages for bonus information.
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> and the worst part is i dont know how it got that way
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: uninstall flashplugin-installer  then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin package, may help
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> if there is a way to fix it would be betetr than format
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: are there any bugs reported?
[04:47] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: Sure, I'll give that a shot.
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> no
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> but i did find where others had ran into the same issue
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: could try removing wine and the .wine folder, then run:  sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install wine
[04:47] <usr13> MikeS11: One problem I see is: "Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"  (You are behind on updates, it should be Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS).
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> some how corrupting stuff
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> i did that and with a purge too
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> purge every ver
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> and still no change
[04:48] <leviathann> I'm trying to install a game but when I do 'sudo sh game.run' or 'sudo bash game.run' it returns this. ' ./setup.sh: 192: ./setup.sh: /home/leviathann/.setup4849: not found'
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: if you run notepad instead of the winecfg app, is it different
[04:48] <usr13> ActionParsnip: That last comment may be an error on my part. I guess that designation reflects the install point.
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> nope
[04:48] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Right?
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> usr13: not wholly sure, sorry
[04:49] <MrELusiveness> iam starting to think my hd is cursed
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> leviathann: why are you running a game with sudo?
[04:49] <nikozzzzzz> Why
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: try making a fresh ubuntu user, log in as that and retry as that
[04:49] <MrELusiveness> eeek
[04:50] <blackshirt> !compile
[04:50] <blackshirt> Compile
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> there is something screwed up at root lvl
[04:50] <blackshirt> !compilekernel
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: its worth exploring
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> and iam not sure how cause its not like i can log in as root
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: you don't have to, nor should you
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> yeah this is very odd
[04:51] <MrELusiveness> it happened after i did some make's from source
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: just run:  sudo adduser test      set a password for test, log off then log in as test with the password you set
[04:51] <leviathann> ActionParsnip, as per these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[04:51] <MrELusiveness> yeah but if the error is root lvl it will effect all usr accounts new and old
[04:52] <MrELusiveness> iam going too look at the google again and see if anyone came up with a fix
[04:52] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: hrm No good. Perhaps a different version of firefox
[04:53] <kop> I have better things to look at ...
[04:53] <kop> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374089/
[04:53] <kop> AP have a good one gtg

[05:08] <ActionParsnip> nikozzzzzz: its useful for logging in....
[05:08] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i would prefer to unity-greeter to keep the purple background instead changing to the same background as my user account
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> simplew: let me search

[05:12] <Mephistophilus> hi everyone
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> hi Mephistophilus
[05:13] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i cant find wheres that purple background, isnt in /usr/share/wallpapers
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> simplew: could just download one from the web
[05:19] <rafase282> im having issues portforwading the transmission web interface
[05:20] <almoxarife> rafase282: are you firewalled?
[05:21] <almoxarife> rafase282: router or OS
[05:21] <rafase282> if I am it would be the router only
[05:21] <rafase282> the port is 9091
[05:22] <rafase282> i forwaded it but when i use my domain or the public adress it does not work
[05:22] <almoxarife> rafase282: ping the client from the host and vice versa
[05:22] <rafase282> only with the internal adress
[05:22] <brandon420> sorry, can you resend that, or pm me
[05:22] <brandon420> my internet is being retarded
[05:22] <AnOnqwq> hey
[05:23] <brandon420> hay
[05:23] <AnOnqwq> how i can to register there
[05:23] <AnOnqwq> ?
[05:24] <brandon420> ./ns register email passwd
[05:24] <brandon420> ./ns identify pass
[05:24] <simplew> ActionParsnip: no idea what script triggers unity-greeter background change when changing user background?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> simplew: no idea, skinning lightdm is at the bottom of my worries, its on the screen for about 2 seconds so I don't care. It could be flat and grey and I'd still just log in and go
[05:25] <ar9> is there a universal live usb creator for ubuntu?
[05:25] <rafase282> its weird
[05:25] <rafase282> from the host i can ping it
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> ar9: unetbootin as well as ubb-creator-gtk
[05:26] <rafase282> from the mobile network it wont do it
[05:26] <rafase282> but i can ssh to it
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: maybe the mobile network blocks pings
[05:26] <rafase282> i think it was able to ping it before
[05:26] <almoxarife> rafase282: ok, ssh tunnel to it
[05:26] <rafase282> but regardless, im trying to use the hostname from the host
[05:27] <rafase282> so instead of using the local adress I use the public one or the hostname
[05:27] <rafase282> but it only works with the local adress
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: the host name will not resolve to your WAN IP unless you add it in your system's hosts file
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you need to check the port forwarding in the router
[05:28] <rafase282> I did, and it has the right port
[05:29] <rafase282> so how do I add my new host to my sistem?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I can connect to your IP
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: obviously I don't have credentials
[05:30] <rafase282> ??
[05:30] <rafase282> you connected to my router?
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I did a whois on you and it gave a hostname. I then SSH'd to it and got asked for credentials
[05:30] <AnOnqwq> ./ns register bblkpp@yahoo.co.uk
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: I'd ask in #freenode for registering help :)
[05:31] <rafase282> You scared me there for a moment
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I can't get in, I don't have an account. But I hit an SSH server
[05:31] <rafase282> I can connect from outside the network, yet transmission will not work from outside the network
[05:31] <rafase282> yeah I have it running
[05:31] <rafase282> does it matter the port for it?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: how do you mean 'will not work'?
[05:32] <almoxarife> rafase282: tunnel via ssh
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: what are yu trying to do with transmission?
[05:32] <rafase282> well im trying to use an app from my phone to send .torrent files to my server at home so it can download the torrent without me having to do it from my server
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I do the same, did you enable the web UI?
[05:32] <rafase282> so currently i am unable to do it unless im on the lan
[05:33] <rafase282> yes
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: and what port is it using?
[05:33] <rafase282> it was working before i had to restart the server
[05:33] <rafase282> but idk what am I missing this time
[05:33] <zabomber1> rafase282: you are looking to setup a PPTP VPN
[05:33] <rafase282> 9091
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: then match that port in the port forwarding the same way you setup SSH
[05:33] <rafase282> idk how to set a vpn
[05:33] <rafase282> i was using ssh for updating and stuff
[05:33] <rafase282> samba for file sharing
[05:34] <rafase282> and transmission-cli with the web ui
[05:34] <zabomber1> rafase282: http://darrynvt.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/setup-l2tpipsec-vpn-ubuntu/
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you can use SFTP which you get with openssh-server and access your data from anywhere
[05:34] <zabomber1> thats the guide i used to setup my vpn
[05:34] <zabomber1> it worked 100%
[05:34] <rafase282> the port match tho
[05:34] <hds> hello
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: have you configured any firewalling on the server?
[05:35] <hds> does anybody know about mactime command from tsk?
[05:35] <rafase282> I dont know the commands for transfering files like that
[05:35] <rafase282> Action, no
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: nautilus can do it, no need for 'commands'
[05:35] <rafase282> My security must suck
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you have a router so you'll be fine
[05:35] <rafase282> well the whole thing is to acces my files away from home
[05:35] <rafase282> my own cloud
[05:36] <brandon420> rafase282, check your pms
[05:36] <rafase282> the server is with arclinux-arm tho
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: tried changing the port number then resetting up the port forward?
[05:36] <rafase282> my desktop with ubuntu
[05:36] <rafase282> but i use my android phone more often to pass files around
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: so how is this an ubuntu issue if the server is arch?
[05:37] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: :)
[05:39] <rafase282> Action, it is not a OS issue
[05:39] <rafase282> the thing works on a local network
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: but this channel is OS specific
[05:40] <rafase282> well Im talking from an ubuntu machine from which im testing and can only acces with the local ip instead of the public ip, does that counts?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: the server OS is arch
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: if you are having issues with the server then ask in the arch channel
[05:45] <rafase282> ok
[05:50] <AnOnqwq> hello
[05:50] <AnOnqwq> some help thr plz
[05:53] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[05:53]  * cousin_luigi recently upgraded from precise to quantal and now the hard disk is rather noisy on startup.
[05:54] <cousin_luigi> Anything new in the controller module or is it an upstart vagary?
[05:54] <dr_willis> nothing ive ever heard about cousin_luigi .
[05:55] <cousin_luigi> I see.
[05:55] <AnOnqwq> some help
[05:55] <juniour> gud morning :)
[05:55] <dr_willis> upstart laumches services in parallel when it can. like it always has
[05:56] <dr_willis> i will mention  that ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in the hardware of a system
[05:56] <cousin_luigi> dr_willis: I'm aware of the issue, but it's otherwise functional.
[05:56] <dr_willis> ive seem them die without any real warning ;(
[05:57] <dr_willis> a hd suddendly making lots of noise would be so mthing to definatly keep an eye on
[05:57] <cousin_luigi> The close correlation between upgrade and noise makes me wary of that.
[05:57] <cousin_luigi> It's not the usual clicking sound when the voice coil is starting to fail.
[05:59] <almoxarife> i am assuming the big boy talk will lead somewhere interesting?
[05:59] <AnOnqwq> some one cam give me a help plz?
[05:59] <dr_willis> AnOnqwq:  state the problem and see who can help.
[06:00] <AnOnqwq> me i use the ubuntu "anonymous-os 01
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[06:00] <AnOnqwq> and i want to know more abot the os
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> WE WILLS EE IF ANYONE HAS A CLUE ABOUT MY PROBLEM
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> oops sorry about the capos
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[06:01] <dr_willis> ive never  heard of  'anonymusOs' i imagine its som e ubuntu variant thats NOT supported by this channel.
[06:01] <MrELusiveness> huh?
[06:01] <AnOnqwq> anonymous OS
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: isnt that BSD based?
[06:01] <cousin_luigi> I thought it was the one with tor and all that jazz.
[06:01] <MrELusiveness> where you seing that?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> kaos.theory's Anonym.OS LiveCD is a bootable live cd based on OpenBSD that provides a hardened operating environment whereby all ingress traffic is denied and all egress traffic is automatically and transparently encrypted and/or anonymized.
[06:01] <cousin_luigi> But probably ubuntu based.
[06:02] <almoxarife> MrELusiveness: take it to #wine
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: that ^
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> they dont knwo either
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> lol
[06:02] <almoxarife> MrELusiveness: take it to #windoz
[06:02] <AnOnqwq> thx very much
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> lol
[06:02] <cousin_luigi> bbl
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: its a question, is that what you mean?
[06:03] <MrELusiveness> and I am in winehq
[06:03] <AnOnqwq> is stabile or have trojan?
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: then how is that Ubuntu? 1. It's not Ubuntu 2. It's not even Linux, It's BSD....so why ask in a channel which ONLY supports Ubuntu?
[06:04] <AnOnqwq> sorry but i dont know that
[06:04] <AnOnqwq> im new and i want to learn ubuntu
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: try on of the bsd channels
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: then install Ubuntu if you want to learn Ubuntu....
[06:05] <dr_willis> AnOnqwq:  start by using ubuntu then?
[06:05] <dr_willis> !manual | AnOnqwq
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> AbyssOne: why are you grabbing Anonymous OS which isn't Ubuntu, when you want to learn Ubuntu...it makes no sense at all
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> gone
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> I can't think of something more wrong, asking for BSD support in an ubuntu support channel
[06:10] <dr_willis> asking for relationship advice in #foreveralone   :0 More wrong....
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> haha
[06:11]  * dr_willis just made up #foreveralone  i dont evne know if its a channel on freenode. ;)
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: it can be ;)
[06:13] <dr_willis> oh yea. a support question. if ones runs xbmc. has anyone else noticced it disabling the second monitor? seems to turn off twinview here for me, it used to run properly on monitor #2
[06:13] <almoxarife> dr_willis: the beta?
[06:13] <almoxarife> frodo?
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> not used xbmc in ages. I use vlc + web UI + android phone :)
[06:14] <almoxarife> frodo is not ready for prime time
[06:14] <dr_willis> i dont think its the beta. i dont  think i got the ppa enabled
[06:15] <almoxarife> cable=120US, xbmc=free, :)
[06:15] <underk> how can I install splinter cell on windows?
[06:15] <dr_willis> ill have to double check when i get home
[06:15] <almoxarife> underk: with a stake?
[06:16] <dr_willis> !wine | underk
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> howto remove zeitgeist without corrupt unity-desktop?
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> underk: check the appdb for compatibility

[06:17] <ActionParsnip> underk: not all apps run, some rungreat, some won't even install

[06:19] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:19] <underk> but cross-over seems nice indeed.
[06:19] <dr_willis> the ccsm tool can break things.. be carefull with it
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:ive installed ccsm, didnt find wobbly windows on 12.10
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: run:  dpkg -l | grep compiz | grep plug
[06:20] <Jezzz> hi all
[06:20] <dr_willis> may be extra plugins.. i find wobly windows the sort of thing best frogotten
[06:20] <almoxarife> wobbly windows? why?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: then run:  apt-cache search compiz | grep plug     see what is different
[06:20] <Jezzz> cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda1
[06:20] <Jezzz> cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab
[06:21] <Jezzz> should I be concerned with those errors?  google is of little help
[06:21] <underk> hey wondering what IRC client you like?
[06:21] <almoxarife> Jezzz: warning is not as bad as 'fatal'
[06:21] <dr_willis> underk:  depends on your needs
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> underk: irssi and pidgin here
[06:22] <brandon420> Can someone help me fix my dns?
[06:22] <Jezzz> almoxarife:  well, had a couple kernel panics today
[06:22] <dr_willis>  i tend to use weechat
[06:22] <Jezzz> almoxarife:  not sure if it's related
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: you can set nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces too
[06:23] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, what would i set them too?
[06:23] <almoxarife> brandon420: fix what?
[06:23] <brandon420> i can use irc
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip:you think its in compiz-plugins-extra ?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: whatever you like, you could use 8.8.8.8 if you desire
[06:23] <brandon420> but the actual internet is really unstable
[06:23] <underk> didn't know irssi, that  seems cool !
[06:23] <almoxarife> brandon420: the (nm) applet will allow you to set your own DNS
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: try it, it's free :)
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> lol ok tnx
[06:24] <brandon420> almoxarife, does it matter what i set it to?
[06:24] <almoxarife> does irssi have a gui?
[06:24] <brandon420> no
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: it runs in a terminal
[06:24] <MaGeD_> Hello noob question : is there anyway to configure " rar " to rar files without compression "-m0 " using the right click context menu not with commands ,, i know how to do it with command " rar a -m0 "
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: pidgin has a gtk gui
[06:24] <brandon420> xchat <3
[06:24] <dr_willis> irssi and weechat are text/ncurses based type interfaces
[06:24] <almoxarife> brandon420: no, but it would help if it actually dishes out dns
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> MaGeD_: you can use nautilus-scripts to do that type of thing
[06:25] <almoxarife> so i could run irssi in my gui cli?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sure, you can have a tab, or a separate terminal running IRSSI
[06:25] <dr_willis> almoxarife:  you cantoma  run terminal apps in a terminal. ;) yes
[06:27] <almoxarife> i will stick with konversation
[06:27] <MaGeD_> ActionParsnip : Thanks , will google that
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: irssi is handy if you are at work and can ssh to your system :)
[06:28] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: not me, i would ssh to the home makina and run something in a gui, terminal is scary
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: not really
[06:29] <dr_willis> scary is people who dont want to learn .;)
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: you'll run issi then type:  /connect irc.freenode.net
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: and you can switch nick and join channels..
[06:30] <dr_willis> znc and screen are handy tools to go along with irssi and weechat
[06:30] <brandon420> almoxarife, thanks man
[06:30] <brandon420> that worked.
[06:30] <brandon420> set it to 8.8.8.8
[06:30] <almoxarife> how is 'fish' diff from 'sftp' , i noticed the option on dolphin, so i set it up, i dont see a diff within dolphin between the two
[06:31] <almoxarife> brandon420: time for the next phase, a nice dns cache with filtering, dnsmasq?
[06:31] <brandon420> what does that do?
[06:32] <almoxarife> brandon420: it stops evidoers from invading the web browser
[06:32] <adysin> http://ubuntu.com
[06:33] <almoxarife> brandon420: the cache remembers recent pages you visited, so you dont have to go to a dns server again, the filtering is a matter of taste, what dont you want to have the browser open?
[06:34] <adysin> hay fiend ..
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: also if you put web cache in tempfs you get a pretty slick web connection :)
[06:37] <brandon420> almoxarife, that sounds a bit extreme for my needs
[06:37] <brandon420> lmao
[06:37] <brandon420> my internet at home is fine
[06:37] <brandon420> my sisters makes me want to jump off a cliff
[06:37] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: explain that, how what where? you are over my head
[06:38] <disaconnex> anyone have some "steam://install" commands for some steam games? the list of games available is empty but i can install if i know the commands
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: what browser do you use?
[06:39] <bazhang> !steam | disaconnex
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: two, chromium and rekonq
[06:39] <disaconnex> thanks
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: mostly rekonq
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: if you look in ~/.cache  do you see a folder for chromium?
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: yes
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: what is the folder name?
[06:40] <almoxarife> chromium
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: close all chromiums and run: sudo mkdir /run/chromium ; sudochown $USER:$USER /run/chromium; rm -r ~/.cache/chromium; ln -s /run/chromium ~/.cache/chromium
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: basically it makes a folder under /run and makes it owned by your user, then symlinks a new empty folder to the tempfs.
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: the folder is lost at reboot (clears temp cache) but your RAM now holds your temp internet files. If they are used then they will load from RAM (faster than your crappy HDD)
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: also, if you use an SSD, it reduces wear as you are not writing temp web guff to the SSD, prolonging life
[06:44] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: i got it, i will try it with rekonq, thats the one i mosty use, chromium i use for business only these days
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: same bag, make a folder
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: I have the comamnds in /etc/rc.local so that the folders are recreated on bootup
[06:45] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: is the diff apperciable?
[06:45] <almoxarife> appreciable
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: should be. why waste time writing to HDD the to RAM :)
[06:46] <almoxarife> almoxarife: what keeps the cache one from getting re-wrote?
[06:46] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: that was for you :)
[06:47]  * dr_willis wonders how the changes  to /run/ survive a reboot.. or did i miss somthing
[06:47] <almoxarife> the /etc/rc would
[06:47]  * dr_willis rereads 
[06:47] <almoxarife> dr_willis: yes, you missed it
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: I add commands to /etc/rc.local to recreate and re-chown

[06:55] <jakepetroules> for debian/changelog the manual says "distribution(s) lists the distributions where this version should be installed when it is uploaded - it is copied to the Distribution field in the .changes file. See Distribution, Section 5.6.14."
[06:55] <underk> ah ok :(
[06:55] <jakepetroules> can i leave that part blank?
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: sometimes they are

[06:57] <lotuspsychje> bazhang: ive tryed to add a trigger last time on zeitgeist, it didnt change since
[06:57] <bazhang> lotuspsychje, I did not see it, care to re send it?
[06:58] <joehe> hello, all
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> bazhang:well it was on previous ubuntu version, zeitgeist changed on 12.10 so it wouldnt be correct anymore
[06:59] <underk> sorry to be off topic, so thank's ActionParsnip, you're nice
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> bazhang:would be handy to have a !zeitgeist trigger for proper removal
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> underk: I try
[06:59] <joehe> i try to use Pin: origin in my apt , but it seems not working after i checked with apt-cache, anyone could help me ?
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> underk: thanks :)
[07:00] <dr_willis> !pin
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:you know a package for extended indicators?
[07:01] <dr_willis> extended indicators?
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:yes like alternative ones (weather, battery,cpu)
[07:02] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has a list of 'indicator-applets'  search for indicator applet, and sorrt by 'votes'
[07:02] <bazhang> lotuspsychje, apt-cache search indicator
[07:03] <dr_willis> search the repos for 'indicator applet' also
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[07:03] <xro> Hi, i have an ubuntu 12.10 64bits... i need the liblept3 package. As i can see it s not in the depot, rigth? should i download it from he web?
[07:04] <dr_willis> xro:  if somthing is not in the repos. next would be find a ppa for it. or use source to compile it
[07:04] <joehe> hi ubottu,  yes , but it seems 'Pin: origin"" ' does not work in my Ubuntu.
[07:04] <bazhang> xro, what do you need it for
[07:05] <dr_willis> joehe:  ubottu  is just a factoid bot.
[07:05] <waynemcl> Hi, where in xchat does one add a new IRC server please?
[07:05] <joehe> i have set this under /etc/apt/preferences.d/, but it seems not working.
[07:06] <bazhang> waynemcl, try in #xchat
[07:06] <waynemcl> thanks
[07:06] <waynemcl> there for xchat-gnome too?
[07:06] <xro> bazhang, i would like to use : python-tesseract, and liblept3 is needed...
[07:07] <lotuspsychje> indicator-multiload is so nice tnx guys!
[07:09] <Heather_> I'm following this guy to fix ubuntu install. Says I need a unformatted filesystem with bios_grub flag. I'm using gparted and I'm guessing that the bios_grub should be put as label?
[07:09] <Heather_> guide*
[07:13] <dr_willis> a label is not the same as a flag Heather_
[07:15] <dr_willis> im not sure you can set a label on a unformated filesystem eiher. ;)
[07:16] <ar9> im trying to use but everytime i run it it gets stuck completely
[07:16] <ar9> to use dd
[07:18] <reisei> hi, all! Can you describe how sound is played in ubuntu? What system and libs it uses?

[07:18] <Guest20828> in xubuntu how do i phone a shared folder over a netwrok it keeps asking what program to use but wont work
[07:19] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: I do.  I spoke with you a few days ago even!
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest20828: pcmanfm can access samba shares
[07:19] <Guest20828> not phone open

[07:20] <dina_> i am trying to install vue on ubuntu
[07:26] <foo357> scripting question I get a list of files from doing a bit of piping and I have a directory stored in a variable, how can I pass these arguments to cp so it will copy the files to the folder?
[07:26] <SpaceRocket> dina,  check this URL for downloading in installing VUE http://vue.tufts.edu/download/index.cfm?fromvue=1
[07:29] <xro> Is someone using pathon-tesseract, it needs a lot of missing package --> liblept3, libtiff5 ... is there a simpe way to make it works?
[07:29] <monkzero> Hi, very new to the linux world. I have an issue that in terminal I'm flooded with "[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PMC - unhandled INTR 0x00040000" all i know is that nouveau is my video driver. but I cant figure out how to stop this. thanks for any help.
[07:37] <dr_willis> monkzero:  i recall /etc/sysconfig (i think thats the name) has some kernel logging level options. ive had to edit it in the past to stop error message floods.
[07:37] <dr_willis> not on ubuntu right now so i cant verify the name
[07:51] <MiteshShah> when I remove php* its remove some of lightdm packages any idea?
[07:53] <MiteshShah> sudo apt-get remove --purge php* its remove php as well as lightdm packages so after that I face no login session.
[07:53] <MiteshShah> I'm wonder why its remove lightdm packages?

[08:01] <btral> hi
[08:01] <btral> i have a file that create it a script?
[08:01] <btral> how find file maker of a special file?
[08:02] <essomba84_> hi
[08:03] <dr_willis> what sort of special file?
[08:04] <btral> how see maker of files?
[08:04] <btral> maker is a script
[08:04] <dr_willis> ls -l shows sho owns a file..
[08:04] <dr_willis> shows who owns...
[08:07] <btral> dr_willis: no i dont want to see it's owner. i want to fine what script genereted it.
[08:08] <dr_willis> it dosen work  that way
[08:08] <btral> dr_willis: ok. thank you
[08:09] <dr_willis> unless the scrip somehow put in some comments..
[08:09] <dr_willis> script runs as user bob... files made would be owned by bob normally

[08:11] <Scall> /close
[08:22] <ServerSage> So I have a funny question.  My washer & dryer talk over a serial port, and I've been thinking about some kind of device to sit between them and monitor the communication so that I could text or email when the washer is done.  Does anybody know of a device that allows snooping a serial connection?
[08:23] <adknight87> I have a question about how links are loading applications
[08:23] <adknight87> Links from browsers
[08:24] <almoxarife> ServerSage: want to text the washer or the dryer?
[08:26] <dr_willis> ServerSage:  sounds like a good job for a raspberry pi  ;)
[08:27] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats a good question, i think chrome/chromium depends on xdg, konqueror depends on mimetypes(not totally sure) , rekonq(beats the hell out of me)
[08:28] <adknight87> Okay so I've been working on xdg-open
[08:28] <almoxarife> adknight87: imagine that :)
[08:28] <adknight87> Lol
[08:28] <adknight87> Anyways I have a wine application that can launch with a protocol link attached to it.
[08:30] <adknight87> But when I set up the x-scheme-handler I'm not sure what I'm doing
[08:30] <almoxarife> adknight87: you sure it does not already exist out on the internet tubes?
[08:30] <adknight87> I know it works half way because it brings the application to the front but it doesn't open the link as if I were to type the whole command into terminal
[08:30] <adknight87> This is my last resort
[08:31] <adknight87> Nothing explains the exec= "my file" __ <--- example %u
[08:31] <matcouto> Hi y'all. my system suddenly crashes. Is there any log file that holds this kind of error/information that I could check and see whats going on?
[08:32] <almoxarife> matcouto: look at /var/log/syslog
[08:32] <almoxarife> matcouto: look at /var/log/syslog kern.log too
[08:33] <adknight87> The only thing I came close to anything like the application I'm using is steam
[08:34] <almoxarife> adknight87: you might try ##linux, but they will require more info than you provided here
[08:34] <adknight87> alright brb
[08:35] <SpaceRocket> how to set the DNS IP permanently ?
[08:35] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: via the 'networkmanager' applet
[08:35] <SpaceRocket> almoxarife, I did but when I verify that I'm using OpenDNS it fails
[08:37] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: i dont know what you are trying to do, you asked a question and i gave you the simple place to make the entry
[08:37] <adknight87> tracert?
[08:38] <matcouto> almoxarife: a lot of ACPI ERRO in the kern.log. Would it have anything to do with these crashes?
[08:39] <almoxarife> matcouto: no idea, but it cant be good to see alot of those errors
[08:39] <dr_willis> adknight87:  ive seen the %u and other variables defined in some gnome docs.  nautilus scripting info perhaps.
[08:40] <adknight87> think you can point me to them
[08:40] <dr_willis> nope.... on my phone.
[08:40] <adknight87> xD
[08:40] <adknight87> Thanks
[08:40] <almoxarife> adknight87: the %u is something that is picked up from source app, if that makes sense
[08:41] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I want to text me when they talk to each other.  :)
[08:41] <ServerSage> dr_willis: Thats the plan, I have one sitting on my desk.  Just need the hardware to do it.
[08:41] <llutz> adknight87: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
[08:41] <almoxarife> ServerSage: if you can tap in between then run wireshark,
[08:41] <dr_willis>  %u ciuld be url    ie a path to a file. or http://  type thing
[08:42] <adknight87> Suppose to work then but it doesn't
[08:42] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Thats the bit I'm unclear about, how to tap in.  Is it enough to just put a connector in the middle?  Or do I need a box to read it?  I'm not much of a hardware guy.
[08:43] <almoxarife> ServerSage: is it ethernet line?
[08:43] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Serial
[08:44] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Ethernet would be simple.  :P
[08:44] <almoxarife> ServerSage: i am not sure, you sure we are talking washer and dryer?
[08:45] <ServerSage> almoxarife: lol.  Yeah, it's a washer and a dryer.  When the washer finishes it passes what was in the washer on to the dryer.  So if you have the washer set to blankets, the dryer gets set to blankets automatically.
[08:45] <etag_> yo can anyone help me with remote veiwing?
[08:45] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I'm hoping to exploit that and when it sends the info also fire a text to me or the wife saying, "Hey, washer is done.  Go put the clothes in the dryer you lazy bugger!"
[08:46] <dr_willis> etag_: give us more details
[08:46] <etag_> i have a vps that is running 12.04 and i would like to use a remote desktop
[08:46] <dr_willis> ServerSage: some samsung appliances can do that ;)
[08:47] <etag_> i'm trying the xrdp but i get 'failed to load session ;ubuntu'
[08:47] <etag_> i'm useing win7 btw...
[08:47] <etag_> any ideas?
[08:47] <ServerSage> dr_willis: Unfortunately I don't have a samsung washer/dryer.  lol.  I'm pretty sure the wife isn't going to buy a new washer/dryer just to get this.  Thought it'd be a great task for the pi though.
[08:47] <dr_willis> etag_: ssh and x forwarding would be easier to get going
[08:48] <almoxarife> ServerSage: this is talking out my xxxxxx, if its serial then you need to receive the serial and then send it as received to the dryer :), meanwhile you would need something to send the received serial to txt, no idea how you are going to splice in though
[08:48] <etag_> ok...i have ssh...what is x forwarding? and the issue is that i don't do very good at ssh
[08:48] <ServerSage> almoxarife: You're actually a genius, the answer was right there and I totally missed it!
[08:48] <etag_> which is why i would like the remote desktop
[08:48] <almoxarife> ServerSage: genius, yeah, thats me
[08:49] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Two serial ports on the pi, one that reads from the washer, the other than feeds the dryer.  The pi just acts as a relay between them, and sends the text/email.  Brilliant!
[08:49] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I was making it WAY too complicated.
[08:49] <dr_willis> run app on server... see it ls gui on local box   is x forwarding  basically
[08:49] <almoxarife> ServerSage: yes, thats what i said, :)
[08:49] <etag_> so is there another way? or what do i need to do?
[08:49] <petan> is there a way to make system handle gracefully OOM?
[08:49] <petan> like it kill the processes that are not crucial
[08:49] <ServerSage> almoxarife: lol.  Thanks for the kick in the brain.  Much appreciated.
[08:50] <etag_> wait? what?
[08:50] <almoxarife> ServerSage: welcome :), say hi to the washer for me
[08:50] <petan> talking about server now but it's generally linux wide
[08:50] <dr_willis> etag_: install xming on windiws. install sshserver on the server
[08:50] <ServerSage> almoxarife: The dryer may get jealous.
[08:50] <almoxarife> true, dryers are touchy that way
[08:51] <fiveop> Got ndiswrapper setup and found a driver for my chipset (Dell 1704 ...). Now when I load that driver (.inf) via ndisgtk, ndiswrapper -l says 'driver intalled, device (...) present', but when I modprobe ndiswrapper nothing happens (regarding iwconfig) and the kernel log tells me that ndiswrapper could not prepare and subsequently load the driver.
[08:51] <etag_> server has ssh
[08:51] <ServerSage> I'm sure there is a line about dryers and women there, but I'm not touching it.
[08:51] <almoxarife> ServerSage: wh do you want to know what the washer is saying?
[08:51] <fiveop> What next
[08:51] <etag_> so get xming?
[08:51] <almoxarife> why
[08:51] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I don't need to know *what* it is saying, just that it is saying something.  That way, when the washer talks to the dryer I know it's time to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
[08:51] <dr_willis> etag_: err  .. yes...
[08:52] <etag_> ok...then what...once i have it...
[08:52] <almoxarife> ServerSage: got it, makes sense
[08:52] <dr_willis> ServerSage: that should make it easier
[08:52] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Sounds silly, but our washer/dryer are in the garage, and even at it's loudest we can't hear the buzzer.  And of course we forget all about it.
[08:52] <dr_willis> etag_: install it.. read its docs.. run it.. cinnect to server
[08:53] <almoxarife> ServerSage: got it, i am guessing a wind up alarm clock would not be an option
[08:53] <ServerSage> almoxarife: How very 1980 of you.
[08:53] <almoxarife> too steampunk :)
[08:54] <dr_willis> hour glass...
[08:54] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Why solve a problem with a $3 clock when I can solve it with a $30 pi and a $700 cell phone?
[08:54] <qmr> anyone know why my galaxy nexus isn't transferring files?  it's connected "as a camera", and nautilus can see and thumbnail the files, but I can't transfer them
[08:54] <almoxarife> ServerSage: if you would, please share the conversation the washer had with the dryer when you violate their privacy
[08:54] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I'm expecting sweet nothings.  "Mmm, baby, I'm so wet."
[08:55] <almoxarife> ServerSage: easy, its a moderated forum
[08:55] <dr_willis> hook the buzzer wires to a wireless dorbell....
[08:55] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Washers get wet, no denying it.
[08:55] <tf198> ServerSage: Or a photoelectric sensor over the neon indicator
[08:56] <adknight87> okay so I've had the right idea but what does it look like when I click on a link say custom://special/link
[08:56] <ServerSage> tf198: Already thought of that.  The indicator comes on at different times throughout the cycle.
[08:56] <tf198> ServerSage: Doh!
[08:56] <almoxarife> ServerSage: i like it, its a off the wall idea that might sell someday
[08:57] <adknight87> Thanks btw for whoever that was linking me to the page
[08:57] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I'm pretty sure we'll see it built into washer/dryer setups in the not too distant future.  I'm sure my washer will have a more active twitter feed than me soon.
[08:57] <gogeta> lol tweeting washer
[08:58] <ServerSage> gogeta: You laugh, plenty have done it.
[08:58] <almoxarife> ServerSage: the washer does not whisper sweet nothings at the washer while in the progress of washing? that could throw a wrench into the mix
[08:59] <almoxarife> at the dryer.......
[08:59] <ServerSage> almoxarife: That I won't know until I snoop on their conversation.  From the looks of it, it only happens when it finishes (based solely on the dryer turning on and saying "receiving info from washer")
[09:00] <almoxarife> ServerSage: i still think you are violating some EU law
[09:00] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Good thing I'm not in europe.
[09:00] <almoxarife> :)
[09:01] <dr_willis> ive seen serial port splicers with led  activity lights ages ago
[09:01] <almoxarife> there you go, ubuntu/android marriage, washer snooping
[09:01] <tf198> ServerSage: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/RS-232-spy-monitor.html
[09:02] <ServerSage> tf198: You are a google god.  Do you know how long I searched to find something like that?
[09:02] <adknight87> %u %U %f %F all don't work
[09:02] <tf198> ServerSage: 'wiretap rs232'
[09:02] <ogzy> at an asus laptop i installed ubuntu 12.10 and not it only opens if i add the acpi=off as a kernel parameter, how can i detect which driver is causing the problem?
[09:02] <dr_willis> if its a 232 port
[09:03] <etag_> ok dr_willis can you tell me how to use this?
[09:03] <ServerSage> dr_willis: The instruction manual indicates it is, though they may use the term loosely.
[09:03] <etag_> i have it and it's installed...i read the docs but i'm not getting it..
[09:03] <dr_willis> etag_: use what exactly
[09:03] <etag_> how do i make it work? the xming
[09:04] <SpaceRocket> how to disable resolveconf and use specified DNS server?
[09:04] <dr_willis> run the xming wizard.. enter ip. have it run a gui app likr xterm
[09:04] <ServerSage> Thanks to all for the info, back to coding.
[09:04] <dr_willis> or gnome-terminal
[09:04] <ewook> ServerSage: why don't you just pick up the vibrations from the cylce? and time it that (if silent or still for X, text me (or, if buzzer comes on telling me "woha, somethings wrong/I'm done")) ?
[09:04] <etag_> it has startx would that work?
[09:04] <ewook> and time it...
[09:05] <dr_willis> etag_: run a specufic app like xterm......
[09:05] <ServerSage> ewook: Mainly because I have everything I need to do a serial snoop, I don't have anything for picking up vibrations.  But it's an idea.
[09:05] <etag_> oh ok...
[09:06] <ewook> ServerSage: do you have a moving knob, indicating that the cycle is done?
[09:06] <dr_willis> get thebasics working first..
[09:06] <ServerSage> ewook: Nope.
[09:06] <ewook> ServerSage: darn. then it would have been really easy.
[09:06] <etag_> it just closes and gives me nothing...
[09:07] <adknight87> how do i get a protocol to launch a special url from a browser that the program uses like http
[09:07] <dr_willis> microphone to hear the buzz...
[09:07] <ServerSage> ewook: Indeed, unfortunately it's all electronic.
[09:07] <adknight87> >.<
[09:07] <ServerSage> dr_willis: Meh, the serial port snoop is pretty simple given the cable tf198 sent the diagram for.  I think I'm set.
[09:07] <dr_willis> etag_: xterm is installed?
[09:07] <ewook> ServerSage: well, not really unfortunately :p. whack that washer open ;)
[09:07] <adknight87> I mean from a browser link to program and program uses url to go where it needs to go
[09:07] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: you tried changing dns at networkmanager?
[09:08] <ServerSage> ewook: I'm pretty sure the wife would take a bat to my cranium if I took a screw driver to the new washer dryer.  lol
[09:08] <SpaceRocket> almoxarife, yes I did
[09:08] <ewook> ServerSage: send her to a spa over the weekend.....
[09:08] <ServerSage> ewook: I like the way you think.
[09:08] <adknight87> serversage: adriuno
[09:08] <tcm> hello
[09:08] <ServerSage> adknight87: Again, I'd have to buy the arduino stuff.  I have a pi.
[09:08] <alon> hi, is there a way to return to factory-defaults in ubuntu?
[09:08] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: and that did not work?
[09:09] <adknight87> serversage: ooo
[09:09] <dr_willis> get a baby monitor so you hear the buzzer  in he back rooms... ;)
[09:09] <etag_> so do i use putty or the ssh
[09:09] <adknight87> serversage: WHY aren't you doing anything fun with it
[09:09] <ewook> ServerSage: my warranty is soon out on my machines, so I'm wacking mine open and putting an arduino with xbee at the washer/dryer :p.
[09:09] <tcm> i have a problem with my ubuntu server it won't start and i can't found any log can you help me ?
[09:09] <ServerSage> adknight87: I thought washing machine monitoring WAS fun.
[09:10] <ServerSage> ewook: If I can get away without voiding my warranty I want to.  lol
[09:10] <adknight87> serversage: if they can bluetooth cordless phones to pick up calls
[09:10] <ServerSage> Anyway, I really gotta get back to work.  Thanks for the conversation folks, you have lead me down a path that I'm sure my wife will hate.
[09:11] <almoxarife> ServerSage: does the toaster talk to anything else? always wondered what a toaster would have to say
[09:11] <adknight87> A single URL. Local files may either be passed as file: URLs or as file path. <---- what's that mean exactly
[09:11] <dr_willis> almoxarife:  like the one on  'red dwarf' ? ;)
[09:11] <almoxarife> dr_willis: i used to watch that show too :)
[09:11] <etag_> dr_willis it's not doin it...
[09:12] <dr_willis> adknight87:   url path =  '/path/to/file' or 'file://path/o/file'
[09:12] <adknight87> so
[09:12] <dr_willis> so thats what a file URL means exactly
[09:13] <adknight87> Exec= "application" %u would execute as $ application url://link
[09:15] <blackshirt> hello
[09:15] <adknight87> dr_willis: so this ----> Exec= "application" %u would execute as $ application url://link
[09:16] <almoxarife> toaster?
[09:17] <blackshirt> !samba4
[09:17] <blackshirt> !find samba4
[09:17] <almoxarife> adknight87: are you dealing with url's or file extensions?
[09:17] <blackshirt> !info samba4
[09:17] <etag_> dr_willis help...it's not working...
[09:18] <adknight87> almoxarife: I'm setting up a default application to open a link location for a program that is sort of like a browser
[09:18] <Bustacap> Anyone know how to fix this stupid package error everytime I use apt-get: http://pastebin.com/RHBNhejm
[09:18] <almoxarife> adknight87: ok, link should be url
[09:19] <blackshirt> bustacap, i'm sit on handheld devices, and can't look at your pastebin, sorry ... but maybe you want share here ..
[09:19] <adknight87> almoxarife: when I run env WINEPREFIX="/home/jgfarnden/.wine" wine "C:\\users\\jgfarnden\\Application Data\\IMVUClient\\IMVUClient.exe" imvu://room/user/chatroom <--- it loads the page for the chatroom in the program off of terminal
[09:20] <gartral> Bustacap: try sudo dpkg --conigure -a
[09:20] <etag_> umm is there any other gui things other then xterm?
[09:21] <kushal_k`> Bustacap: while I have never seen the error message you are getting, you can run fuser /var/cache/debconf/config.dat to check if another process is using that file
[09:21] <Bustacap> Ok kushal_k`
[09:21] <Bustacap> kushal_k`: nothing came up.
[09:21] <adknight87> almoxarife: but I can't seem to get chromium-browser or ubuntu which ever the two when I make it launch from a browser won't open that link in the program
[09:21] <gartral> Bustacap: try sudo dpkg --conigure -a
[09:21] <Bustacap> gartral: tried. Just gives me the same error.
[09:22] <almoxarife> adknight87: so you want chrome to open url's imvu: with a wine app, that it?
[09:22] <blackshirt> bustacap, kill other process using it
[09:22] <adknight87> almoxarife: YES! I can do it in terminal
[09:22] <etag_> hello?
[09:23] <blackshirt> hello etag_
[09:23] <Bustacap> blackshirt: there is no other process using it...
[09:23] <etag_> do you know any other things like xterm that i could run?
[09:23] <blackshirt> bustacap, sorry, i am not looking your error
[09:23] <blackshirt> etag_, sure, gnome-terminal ?
[09:27] <inner_peace> hello
[09:27] <inner_peace> i need help
[09:29] <inner_peace> is any one here to help me
[09:29] <xrs1> yeah
[09:29] <lhavelund> inner_peace: Just state your issue in one line, include as many details as possible, and someone should be there to help.
[09:29] <adknight87> almoxarife: ?
[09:29] <almoxarife> adknight87: yes?
[09:30] <adknight87> almoxarife: YES! I can do it in terminal
[09:30] <adknight87> almoxarife: But I can't get it to work with xdg-open
[09:30] <blackshirt> !ask | inner_peace
[09:31] <almoxarife> adknight87: i cant think of any thing that might help, sorry dude
[09:31] <adknight87> almoxarife: it's cool xD xdg-open seems very vague to me
[09:31] <almoxarife> adknight87: that terminal line is all wine apps right?
[09:32] <adknight87> almoxarife: no it's to the specific application ran in wine
[09:32] <qmr> 2nd time:  does any have any idea how to connect Galaxy Nexus to Ubuntu?
[09:32] <dr_willis> qmr:  newer android devices need to use the mtp  tools i belive
[09:33] <dr_willis> i just use wifi.. its faster then a usb cable
[09:33] <qmr> ...
[09:33] <inner_peace> ok i work with a red hat distribution and some one edit the fstab file with new mount under / root direct  after this redhat can not find file system
[09:33] <almoxarife> adknight87: that terminal line sets up a 'env' and executes a wine app with a url
[09:34] <inner_peace> i tried to edit the fstab file but it is read only ????
[09:34] <qmr> 1)  yes, MTP.  great.  I already know that.  2)  I am very curious how wifi is faster than USB for you
[09:34] <xrs1> adknight87,  it seems to work if you know the absolute path
[09:34] <llutz> dr_willis: your usb is broken then
[09:35] <almoxarife> adknight87: can you go about it via gconf? declare the url and command line to execute?
[09:35] <dr_willis> llutz:  no idea on hat. a 4gb movie was quickly copied.. plugging it in took longer..
[09:35] <blackshirt> inner_peace, even after reboot ?
[09:35] <qmr> dr_willis: then you are doing it wrong.
[09:35] <adknight87> almoxarife: It is the absolute path to the program in wine. I can add on a link from a protocol the program it uses to go to a place in the programs browser. ie: imvu://whateverlink/ishere
[09:35] <blackshirt> !ot | inner_peace
[09:36] <llutz> inner_peace: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[09:36] <adknight87> almoxarife: Yes and I've mocked the steam application way to launch steam:// links in the program
[09:36] <Sona> bdawood
[09:36] <dr_willis> qmr:  or its the old slow usb transfer bug again.. had it ages ago..
[09:36] <qmr> So Ubuntu is doing it wrong.  What a surprise.
[09:36] <DrManhattan> is there actually steam for linux yet?
[09:36] <dr_willis> DrManhattan:  yes
[09:36] <qmr> DrManhattan: there is a beta
[09:37] <adknight87> almoxarife: although when I go into gconf to see how steam does it there's nothing to mimic ther's no scheme
[09:37] <almoxarife> adknight87: this is all out of my scope, i run kde, no gconf, no wine, so i cant help
[09:37] <inner_peace> llutz , i try it but when i save it tell me this read only
[09:37] <DrManhattan> curious - what games are available?
[09:37] <dr_willis> inner_peace:  remount your filesystem in rw mode
[09:37] <dr_willis> !steam
[09:37] <adknight87> almoxarife: lol it's alright better to have suggestions then none at all so I'm thankful
[09:38] <llutz> inner_peace: mount|grep " / "
[09:38] <adknight87> steam
[09:38] <adknight87> xD was that a chat bot posting that?
[09:38] <almoxarife> adknight87: you could just start the wine browser that is set to start that app, bypass the linux chrome app
[09:38] <dr_willis> the !stuff are bot triggers adknight87
[09:40] <adknight87> almoxarife: It's a messenger that has a some special 3d browser in it. on their home site they have links to public chat rooms that open up in the program from the website.
[09:40] <adknight87> almoxarife: as in I click a link to a chat room in my chromium browser the messenger goes to the chat room
[09:41] <almoxarife> adknight87: does the windows chrome react to it correctly?
[09:41] <hamidi> hi!
[09:41] <hamidi> i've a question please.
[09:41] <hamidi> i've a virtualbox server.
[09:41] <hamidi> i've setup samba on it.
[09:41] <FloodBot1> hamidi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:41] <hamidi> i changed the adapter from bridge to NAT.
[09:41] <hamidi> i had to add an additional adapter with type host only adapter so that Windows host may access the ubuntu 10.10 server.
[09:41] <hamidi> now samba can't access the shares i've setup on ubuntu.
[09:41] <hamidi> what can i do?
[09:41] <adknight87> almoxarife: I've got it to the point where it brings the messenger application to the front but nothing happens
[09:43] <almoxarife> adknight87: does it need to be chrome? what about a browser that can use mimetype?
[09:43] <adknight87> almoxarife: Mimetyoes are global
[09:44] <adknight87> almoxarife: I've tried application/imvu=IMVU.desktop
[09:44] <compdoc> hamidi, you need to figure out your networking, sounds like
[09:44] <etag_> anyone know xming
[09:44] <adknight87> almoxarife: that didn't work at all but then I do x-scheme-handler/imvu=IMVU.desktop and that works
[09:44] <adknight87> but only partially
[09:45] <adknight87> application is then brought to the front but nothing happens
[09:45] <almoxarife> adknight87:  i dont know about that, i have konqueror here following the mimetype rules, the other browsers do not, i have my own issue with a url(sort of) its actually aa file extention
[09:45] <adknight87> kde does it differently I was just reading that over
[09:46] <almoxarife> adknight87: true, so we are back to apples and oranges
[09:46] <adknight87> kde-open is what you use right?
[09:46] <huhongxing> 有知道怎么翻墙的吗？
[09:46] <almoxarife> adknight87: i use kde period!
[09:47] <lhavelund> !cn | huhongxing
[09:47] <adknight87> almoxarife: wouldn't it nice if everyones stuff worked right?
[09:47] <llutz> adknight87: how boring :)
[09:47] <almoxarife> adknight87: i notice what chromium cant do on kde, konqueror can open so much more, yet i depend on chromium for actual business web
[09:48] <adknight87> llutz: But of course we still have the fun bugs
[09:48] <huhongxing> is anyone here to help me ?
[09:48] <adknight87> almoxarife: Question is what is xdg-open doing exactly to run the exec?
[09:48] <almoxarife> huhongxing: did you ask a question?
[09:49] <hamidi> hi! i've a question please. i've a virtualbox server.  i've setup samba on it.  i changed the adapter from bridge to NAT.  i had to add an additional adapter with 'host only adapter' type so that Windows host may access the ubuntu 10.10 virtual server.  now samba can't access the shares i've setup on ubuntu.  what can i do?
[09:49] <adknight87> hamidi: nat don't work xD
[09:50] <hamidi> there must be a way, no?! :(
[09:50] <cookie1980> hamidi: you have to be on the same subnet
[09:50] <adknight87> hamidi: same network
[09:50] <huhongxing> yeah
[09:50] <hamidi> changing route table or something
[09:50] <adknight87> :P
[09:51] <flynsarmy> Hey i'm trying to use lsblk -o NAME,MODEL,LABEL,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT but the label column is emtpy even after I use a2label. any ideas wy?
[09:51] <almoxarife> hamidi: say it in the context , host/client, what is connected how?
[09:52] <hamidi> isn't there a way to force samba to connect through an adapter to an ip which is not in the same network?
[09:52] <etag_> how do i remove the suid bit when running something in ubuntu?
[09:52] <almoxarife> hamidi: either nat or bridged should
[09:52] <adknight87> hamidi: can you ping that address
[09:52] <hamidi> sure
[09:52] <cookie1980> hamidi: why don´t you just put your virtual machine in your network? any security concerns?
[09:52] <hamidi> let me say the ips
[09:52] <hamidi> host ip: 10.25.25.90
[09:53] <adknight87> hamidi: jst go bridge and all problems are solved
[09:53] <hamidi> guest NAT ip: 10.0.2.15
[09:53] <hamidi> guest 'host only' ip: 192.168.56.102
[09:53] <hamidi> i can ping 192.168.56.102 from 10.25.25.90 host
[09:53] <hamidi> i see the samba shares also
[09:54] <hamidi> but i just see the name of shares
[09:54] <hamidi> and i can't enter into the shared folders
[09:54] <adknight87> hamidi: check permissions
[09:54] <hamidi> adknight87: i know that with bridge i won't have any problem as i didn't have before
[09:54] <flynsarmy> does a2label work with lsblk?
[09:54] <hamidi> i changed the bridge to nat because i need it to be nat
[09:55] <adknight87> you figure a router would handle nat for ya
[09:55] <almoxarife> hamidi: the host has two ips?
[09:55] <flynsarmy> errr, e2label
[09:55] <hamidi> no the server is a virtualbox server
[09:55] <hamidi> just a host with a virtual box
[09:55] <hamidi> no router exist
[09:56] <hamidi> the host yes has two ips
[09:56] <adknight87> fail
[09:56] <adknight87> xD
[09:56] <hamidi> 192.168.56.101 also
[09:56] <adknight87> subnet it is then
[09:57] <hamidi> subnet is 192.168.56.xxx
[09:57] <adknight87> on everything?
[09:57] <hamidi> didn't figure out what u meant, sorry
[09:57] <juniour> hamadi nat connection automatically configured
[09:57] <adknight87> That's what I was thinking
[09:58] <adknight87> it's handled by virtualbox
[09:58] <hamidi> so what can i do?
[09:58] <juniour> yep
[09:58] <adknight87> I was wondering if he knew that
[09:58] <juniour> in bridge you can change ip
[09:58] <hamidi> i'm a newbie in linux a bit
[09:58] <juniour> but it must be of your router
[09:58] <hamidi> :D
[09:58] <adknight87> He has none
[09:58] <adknight87> it's a internal network
[09:58] <juniour> like 192.168.0.xx
[09:59] <almoxarife> hamidi: one of the client connections should be 'bridged' to talk to the network, nat is at the mercy of the host configuration
[10:00] <juniour> yep
[10:00] <adknight87> I don't see how it's going to work out if he doesn't have a switch or router
[10:00] <adknight87> Maybe that loopback
[10:00] <almoxarife> adknight87: bridged gets dhcp from the router
[10:00] <adknight87> He has no router
[10:01] <almoxarife> adknight87: oh
[10:01] <juniour> i told earlier
[10:01] <adknight87> so he'd have to make himself a dhcp server from the virtualbox
[10:01] <almoxarife> nevermind everything i said
[10:01] <adknight87> xD
[10:01] <juniour> what he is trying to do
[10:01] <juniour> ?
[10:01] <adknight87> you really don't need a dhcp server though
[10:01] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats running 'nat'
[10:01] <adknight87> Sounds like he's running a local server for fun
[10:02] <kilz> hello
[10:02] <adknight87> is he even still here
[10:02] <almoxarife> some people dont share the complete picture, for some reason :)
[10:02] <juniour> if he wants to run local server in he must switch to bridge
[10:02] <Virunga> Hi, i'm using a framework that uses apt-get to install packages, one package fails the installation but i can't understand why. /var/log/dpkg.log shows nothing. Could you tell me where i can find any information?
[10:02] <adknight87> all I see is redundancy
[10:02] <hamidi> yes i'm here
[10:02] <hamidi> no it's not for fun! :(
[10:02] <adknight87> Like I said from the start
[10:03] <kilz> may i know the latex ubuntu version
[10:03] <adknight87> BRIDGE the connection
[10:03] <almoxarife> hamidi: you are not behind a router?
[10:03] <compdoc> does anyone recommend a music streaming package? one that streams to any OS?
[10:03] <almoxarife> compdoc: xbmc
[10:03] <Virunga> kilz: use apt-cache showpkg
[10:03] <compdoc> thanks
[10:03] <hamidi> there's a router in class 10.25.25.xxx which acts as dhcp
[10:03] <juniour> hamidi how you are browsing the net
[10:04] <hamidi> but it doesn't work for virtual server
[10:04] <almoxarife> hamidi: are you behind that router?
[10:04] <adknight87> not the complete picture
[10:04] <almoxarife> hamidi: are you behind that router?
[10:04] <juniour> through routeror switch or etc
[10:04] <adknight87> I'm amused
[10:05] <adknight87> I don't know any router standard with that ip set up.
[10:05] <hamidi> behind that router? what is it?
[10:05] <adknight87> How do you connect to the internet hamidi
[10:05] <almoxarife> hamidi: where do you get dhcp?
[10:06] <juniour> hamidi you have router  they are asking
[10:06] <hamidi> it's a router in the same network: 10.25.25.xxx
[10:06] <hamidi> i think it's 254
[10:06] <hamidi> we connect to internet by lan
[10:06] <hamidi> by using cyberoam
[10:07] <hamidi> and this is exactly why i change bridge to nat
[10:07] <kilz> virunga: how
[10:07] <Virunga> kilz: did you read the man?
[10:07] <hamidi> because i wanted virtual servers to see internet either
[10:07] <hamidi> and have not to run crclient each
[10:07] <adknight87> Bridge > Set up ip address with domains "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4" <--- those are googles dns servers
[10:08] <juniour> hamidi type ifconfig
[10:08] <hamidi> because i've only one use which may connect to the internet at the same time and this user is connected through host already
[10:08] <juniour> and check you ip
[10:08] <juniour> k
[10:08] <almoxarife> hamidi: for the vbox(client) to see the internet usually one sets it 'bridged' , but you dont want to do that or do?
[10:08] <Name141-> Hello, I'm running a live ubuntu cause I got "disk read error" trying to boot.  The drive shows up in BIOS (only at times) , but not in fdisk -l .. I assume since this happened since a breaker threw, the disk is dead? is there any other things I could try to 'bring the drive up' or mount it ?
[10:08] <hamidi> ok ifconfig gives me the following ips:
[10:08] <hamidi> eth1: 10.0.2.15
[10:09] <hamidi> eth2: 192.168.56.102
[10:09] <juniour> not the guest i want for the host
[10:09] <hamidi> lo: 127.0.0.1
[10:09] <hamidi> oh u mean ipconfig?
[10:09] <adknight87> 	ifconfig <interface> <ip_address> [ netmask <netmask> ]
[10:09] <juniour> yea
[10:10] <juniour> hamidi you have hsot windows
[10:10] <hamidi> 10.25.25.90
[10:10] <hamidi> 192.168.56.101
[10:10] <almoxarife> hamidi: does the host belong to the network 192.168.56.xxx?
[10:10] <hamidi> paste the whole?!
[10:10] <adknight87> redundancy!!!
[10:10] <almoxarife> i give up
[10:10] <juniour> you are connet to 192.168.56.101
[10:11] <flynsarmy> why is lsblk not showing my drive labels even when using -o LABEL
[10:11] <juniour> if you want a bridge connection in guest os ip should be 192.168.56.xx
[10:11] <hamidi> why do u mean redundancy?!
[10:11] <adknight87> I wonder if he switched to bridged network on his virtual machine
[10:11] <almoxarife> Name141-: sounds like the drive is toast
[10:11] <adknight87> your real computer is hooked up to that cat5
[10:12] <adknight87> so set that program virtual box to bridged network
[10:12] <hamidi> i gave the reason i can't change it back to bridge. if so i'll lose internet for virtual server
[10:12] <adknight87> Wait wait
[10:12] <adknight87> So you are telling me that your physical computer has no internet
[10:12] <adknight87> and your virtual machine does?
[10:13] <hamidi> the physical computer has internet
[10:13] <adknight87> so
[10:13] <adknight87> CHANGE IT TO BRIDGE
[10:13] <hamidi> no physical does have but virtual has no access to internet
[10:13] <adknight87> and change the ip concurrent to the physical network you are attached to
[10:13] <hamidi> the only way i may give the virtual servers internet is to share the host's internet via NAT
[10:13] <adknight87> no
[10:13] <juniour> hamidi you want the internet access to virtual os
[10:14] <adknight87> Bridged with dns servers set up
[10:14] <adknight87> That's how you do
[10:14] <almoxarife> hamidi: or via bridged, unless the router does not allow you to connect, hence no internet
[10:14] <hamidi> it's not directly connected
[10:14] <Name141-> almoxarife: me too.  I can access the CD which is SATA, so I guess the SATA controller didn't fry.. and the NIC and video card works, etc
[10:14] <almoxarife> hamidi: so you want internet via 'nat' , because the host has internet
[10:14] <hamidi> each mac must use user/pass to connect
[10:15] <hamidi> and i've only one user
[10:15] <adknight87> Hey hamidi do you have to sign in to use the internet before you browse
[10:15] <hamidi> almoxarife: exactly
[10:15] <inner_peace> can i mount partition under root direct rather than / mnt  or   /media  is it applicable ?
[10:15] <hamidi> adknight87: exactly
[10:15] <adknight87> fail
[10:15] <almoxarife> hamidi: ok, so your host must offer up dhcp to the client(vbox) so that it can access the internet
[10:16] <juniour> hamidi so you have to use nat for that
[10:16] <dr_willis> inner_peace:  yiou mean mount it i / ?
[10:16] <dr_willis> inner_peace:  yiou mean mount it  to  / ?
[10:16] <hamidi> the virtual servers may use NAT to access the internet, but in this case samba doesn't work
[10:16] <juniour> as you said you have to sign in before browse net
[10:16] <juniour> ya it will not work
[10:16] <inner_peace> dr _willis  yes exactly
[10:17] <adknight87> smells fishy for people to sign into something just to browse the net
[10:17] <juniour> hamidi you want to aceess the sharefolder for host
[10:17] <hamidi> if they use NAT, only one sign in which takes place at host is enough
[10:17] <dr_willis> inner_peace:  i dont think you just swap / around. you could do A Chroot
[10:17] <almoxarife> hamidi: samba , which is the samba host, the vbox or the actual host?
[10:17] <hamidi> and the virtual servers won't need to sign in separately
[10:17] <dr_willis> adknight87:  my routers 'guest' feature does that
[10:18] <hamidi> no! i need to access server's files in host
[10:18] <adknight87> dr_willis: shush xD you would come up a netgear
[10:18] <sir-me> hey i can't watch hd movie on my netbook, how can i convert the movie to play without lagging and loosing sound on the netbook
[10:18] <almoxarife> hamidi: so your vbox(host) is the samba host
[10:18] <hamidi> that's it and i can't help
[10:18] <dr_willis> adknight87:  is a cisco i belive
[10:18] <juniour> hamidi you run server in guest and you want to access in host
[10:18] <inner_peace> Dr _willis   :you mean it isnt applicable
[10:19] <almoxarife> hamidi: is the vbox(host) firewalled?
[10:19] <adknight87> dr_willis: I stand corrected
[10:19] <juniour> ya
[10:19] <dr_willis> sir-me:  winff, arista, ffmpeg, mencoder.. all can convert
[10:19] <adknight87> hamidi: it's like hotel internet
[10:19] <inner_peace> i dont understand swap in your answer so please explain more
[10:19] <almoxarife> hamidi: is the vbox(host) firewalled?
[10:19] <hamidi> junior: yes
[10:20] <dr_willis> inner_peace:   swap = swich = change out
[10:20] <hamidi> the host in a windows which is installed in a physical machine
[10:20] <[awall]> anyone here have source google bypass?
[10:20] <[awall]> =))
[10:20] <hamidi> the host is a windows which is installed in a physical machine
[10:20] <adknight87> The only way I can see this network working is if he had a second router
[10:20] <juniour> hamadi you can acces the file in host but gust will not have inter net k
[10:21] <juniour> jus do wt i say
[10:21] <almoxarife> hamidi: host=machine running vbox, client=vbox os, which is the samba host?
[10:21] <adknight87> client
[10:21] <juniour> hamidi change connection to bridge
[10:21] <almoxarife> i think its the host
[10:21] <almoxarife> hamidi: host=machine running vbox, client=vbox os, which is the samba host?
[10:22] <juniour> hamidi change ip->192.168.56.xx subnet 255.255.255.0
[10:22] <rnamF> I'm getting proxy error when grabbing some packages
[10:22] <hamidi> yes
[10:22] <adknight87> bet it's on the client
[10:22] <rnamF> i havent setted any proxy, any clue?
[10:22] <almoxarife> hamidi: its not a yes or no question
[10:22] <juniour> getway ->192.168.56.1
[10:22] <hamidi> if i switch to bridge virtual machines lose access to internet
[10:22] <adknight87> xD I'm laughing my arse off
[10:22] <adknight87> not on your host
[10:23] <inner_peace> dr_willis : i know swap is a virsual memory  as i new with linux  but i will search on it  thanks
[10:23] <almoxarife> not?
[10:23] <juniour> you have to do the above step in guest os
[10:23] <juniour> hamadi
[10:23] <adknight87> Makes me wonder if he's on his client right now
[10:24] <archangelpetro> does anyone know of any package/applications/tools that will transcribe to text from Mp3? or other audio format?
[10:24] <buntu> how to create polls on launchpad team?
[10:24] <dr_willis> inner_peace:  i don mean mswap as in a swap partion. i mean 'swap' as in  the 'verb'   mesaning to 'change places with'
[10:24] <archangelpetro> is there one?
[10:24] <hamidi> oh i can't follow what u say. it's too crowded. i confused. how can we port to a better place?

[10:25] <hamidi> would u please come with me to #ubuntu-beginners?
[10:25] <inner_peace> dr_willis : ah i got it  so i can mount like that / inner_peace
[10:26] <adknight87> dr_willis has left the building by the way

[10:28] <adknight87> rnamF: change your sources in your software settings

[10:29] <rnamF> what's the file? sources.list ?

[10:29] <Virunga> Hi, i'm using a framework that uses apt-get to install packages, one package fails the installation but i can't understand why. /var/log/dpkg.log shows nothing so is term.log. Could you tell me where i can find any information?
[10:30] <adknight87> Deja vu
[10:31] <adknight87> I wonder who the youngest person is here
[10:31] <almoxarife> its not me
[10:32] <almoxarife> Virunga: the install fails or the app fails to start?
[10:33] <Virunga> almoxarife: the install fails, the app says apt-get returned 100
[10:33] <adknight87> probably me
[10:34] <Virunga> Someone ate the log, damn. :)
[10:34] <DND> guys! i have HP elite 8200 with windows 7. i wanted to dual boot it with ubuntu 12.04
[10:35] <DND> i did shrink the C: partition but when setting up partition in ubuntu the unallocated space says "unusable"
[10:35] <DND> what's the problem?
[10:35] <llutz> DND: how many partitions do you have?
[10:36] <DND> initially windwos has 4 partitions. 1 is C: the two others are 100mb each which is system partition hidden. then last is the hp recovery 8.7gb
[10:37] <llutz> DND: you can have a max of 4 partitions, change one into an extended with logical drives if you want to install ubuntu
[10:37] <llutz> DND: in your case that means to reinstall windows i guess
[10:37] <DND> but this is new computer with preinstalled OS
[10:38] <DND> i want to preserve windows and the recovery partition :(
[10:38] <adknight87> welcome back dr_willis
[10:39] <DND> so formatting the whole drive will solve this problem?
[10:39] <dr_willis> normally im on my znc server so you never see me leave. ;-)
[10:39] <DND> then purchase another windows?
[10:39] <llutz> DND: change partition layout
[10:39] <adknight87> guess I'm lucky today
[10:40] <adknight87> Download same copy of windows use key that came with machine
[10:41] <DND> im reading this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686440
[10:41] <adknight87> I'd have to say the recovery partition is for the drivers!
[10:42] <almoxarife> DND: unusable i believe means 'not formated to ext4' ,
[10:43] <llutz> almoxarife: unusable as in "unallocated space, but already 4 partitions present"
[10:43] <adknight87> he could always backup the recovery partition
[10:43] <albink> i need help
[10:44] <llutz> adknight87: lots of ways but he has to remove at least 1 partition
[10:44] <albink> rsyslog not logging to /var/log/auth.log after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04
[10:44] <albink> strace of the forked process says Permission denied
[10:44] <adknight87> So ubuntu doesn't like 5 partitions on one physical hard drive
[10:44] <albink> log file is zunder root.adm ownership
[10:45] <llutz> adknight87: thats not a ubuntu-thing
[10:45] <adknight87> hardware?
[10:45] <albink> anyone?
[10:46] <almoxarife> what is wrong with an extended partion?
[10:46] <llutz> almoxarife: nothing, but he needs to change his parttion layout for that
[10:46] <compdoc> adknight87, if all the partitions are mbr, its nothig to do with ubuntu
[10:46] <almoxarife> gparted?
[10:47] <llutz> adknight87: the MBR can not hold more than 4 (primary) partition-entries, thus the limitation.
[10:47] <compdoc> you can use a gpt partition too
[10:47] <adknight87> It's a cap
[10:47] <adknight87> OH NOS!
[10:47] <adknight87> Lol
[10:48] <llutz> compdoc: even than he will lose his data, or can you convert bios->gpt on the fly now?
[10:48] <llutz> msdos*
[10:48] <compdoc> oh, well no, he will lose his data if he tries

[10:50] <adknight87> oh
[10:50] <llutz> adknight87: an extenden partition is a special kind of primary
[10:50] <stroodlepup> hi

[10:55] <adknight87> almoxarife: I think I've had the most hard headed laptop to install ubuntu on
[10:55] <stroodlepup> a friend of mine was installed linux on his asus k55vd laptop...
[10:55] <newestnick> logging in auth.log stoped working after upgrade to 12.04
[10:55] <newestnick> is it normal for rsyslog to run under syslog user
[10:55] <stroodlepup> it suddenly became an overheating power hog...
[10:55] <newestnick> and not having permission to write in auth.log
[10:56] <newestnick> which is under root.adm ownership?
[10:56] <newestnick> in strace it says permission denied
[10:56] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: in terminal run 'top' , what is the top process shown?
[10:56] <newestnick> i wonder how that worked earlier before upgrade
[10:56] <almoxarife> hence 'top'
[10:56] <newestnick> is anyone willing to help?
[10:57] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: use 'sudo top' just in case
[10:58] <almoxarife> !pasteit
[10:58] <almoxarife> the paste to bin app, whats it called?
[10:58] <stroodlepup> I can't paste it

[10:59] <OerHeks> !pastebinit
[10:59] <adknight87> -j16 does what exactly

[11:00] <newestnick> i can see
[11:00] <newestnick> in empty log file
[11:00] <newestnick> the problem is
[11:00] <stroodlepup> it had 7 installed, and then we dual installed linux mint on it, thinking that it has faster performance and better battery use...
[11:00] <newestnick> strace says permission denied on auth.log
[11:00] <almoxarife> newestnick: ok, empty is a good indication
[11:00] <stroodlepup> the exact opposite happened
[11:00] <adknight87> Thank you for who ever said top
[11:00] <newestnick> rsyslog runnign under syslog user?
[11:00] <almoxarife> mint:)
[11:00] <newestnick> and auth.log root.adm ownership 0640
[11:00] <adknight87> always wondered how to get the process list with pid
[11:01] <newestnick> wierd
[11:01] <newestnick> how did it work earlier
[11:01] <stroodlepup> 5hrs batt life on 7 became reduced to half
[11:01] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: so the mint is acting up?
[11:01] <stroodlepup> maybe. not so sure...\
[11:01] <stroodlepup> we plan to install 3.2 pae
[11:01] <newestnick> should i add syslog user to adm group and change to 0660 permissions
[11:01] <newestnick> it would work the
[11:01] <stroodlepup> it has 8gb of ram
[11:02] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: what did the mint-help channel people say?
[11:02] <newestnick> but i don't know form the security side, if it's good
[11:02] <stroodlepup> nothing! that's why I'm here :)
[11:02] <adknight87> almoxarife: What kind of laptop did he say he have
[11:02] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: did you run 'top'?
[11:02] <stroodlepup> yes
[11:03] <almoxarife> name the processes from the top, stroodlepup
[11:03] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: did you run 'sudo top' ?
[11:05] <adknight87> lol
[11:05] <adknight87> why is this so hard
[11:05] <stroodlepup> ran htop instead...

[11:09] <adknight87> almoxarife: if I'm thinking correctly his laptop has a beefy graphics card which is both the heat and battery problem
[11:09] <adknight87> Like my laptop right now is at 183 degrees
[11:10] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats the problem with thinking! :) , i just wanted something simple, like the top processes, but its like pulling teeth
[11:10] <newestnick> 7no joins
[11:10] <stroodlepup> wait
[11:11] <adknight87> almoxarife: this place is like pulling teeth
[11:11] <newestnick> u say that
[11:11] <almoxarife> adknight87: my lappy gets real hot when i play video, stream, but thats expected, the graphics is onboard
[11:12] <adknight87> almoxarife: I have hybrid remember though the intel I'm having trouble working on
[11:12] <adknight87> ati Radeon HD 6490m

[11:15] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: seen what?
[11:15] <TJ-> stroodlepup: There are reports of that Asus model having oveheating problems, have you confirmed the air outlets are clean, and that the fan is operating the same way with both Windows and with Ubuntu?
[11:15] <stroodlepup> www.freeimagehosting.net/5mqwv
[11:15] <newestnick> so no help with my logger :(
[11:15] <stroodlepup> it does not do the same with win7
[11:16] <stroodlepup> TJ, it seems that it only happens with linux
[11:16] <TJ-> stroodlepup: OK, that indicates that the fan control probably isn't working as intended
[11:17] <adknight87> acpi problems
[11:17] <newestnick> logger
[11:18] <newestnick> prob
[11:18] <stroodlepup> acpi problems?
[11:18] <stroodlepup> not a kernel thing?
[11:18] <newestnick> some1
[11:18] <stroodlepup> newestnick what about logger?
[11:18] <newestnick> no luck
[11:18] <TJ-> stroodlepup: Can you pastebin the result of this command? "ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/*/device"
[11:18] <newestnick> here
[11:19] <stroodlepup> can't already back to win7...
[11:19] <adknight87> hmm
[11:19] <stroodlepup> probably need to continue this tomorrow
[11:19] <adknight87> I take that back his laptop is stubborn
[11:20] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: i got an idea, the os is mint, or win7, how about you allow #mint-help or #windoz a chance to fix your issue
[11:20] <TJ-> stroodlepup: You would boot the laptop using a liveCD/ISO image
[11:21] <stroodlepup> like i said, it was a ghost town, and it did not have problems with 7
[11:23] <adknight87> almoxarife:  have any pointers for getting rid of the jagged edges
[11:23] <almoxarife> stroodlepup: install ubuntu
[11:24] <adknight87> almoxarife:  makes my intel graphics look better
[11:24] <almoxarife> adknight87: what jagged edges?
[11:24] <adknight87> tearing
[11:24] <adknight87> I have tearing with my graphics
[11:24] <newestnick> install proprietary drivers
[11:24] <adknight87> intel graphics doesn't tear this bad
[11:24] <almoxarife> adknight87: streaming 1080p?
[11:24] <adknight87> anything
[11:24] <adknight87> moving windows
[11:24] <newestnick> streaming 1080p lol
[11:25] <almoxarife> adknight87: anything?
[11:25] <adknight87> everything
[11:25] <adknight87> LOL
[11:25] <newestnick> he is moving his windows can't u see
[11:26] <adknight87> btw newestnick I have the beta drivers from amd
[11:27] <newestnick>  can anyone assist me with my logger prob?
[11:27] <newestnick> rsyslog doesn't log anymore to auth.log
[11:27] <newestnick> rsyslog runs under syslog user?
[11:27] <newestnick> is that normal?
[11:27] <almoxarife> adknight87: what DM you using?
[11:27] <newestnick> 'cause, auth.log is in root.adm ownership
[11:28] <adknight87> light
[11:28] <newestnick> and stracing rsyslog process shows permission denied
[11:28] <newestnick> when trying to log in
[11:28] <newestnick> what should i do?
[11:28] <newestnick> any suggestions
[11:28] <rsiska> Hello. Where is the global settings in ubuntu? Everything I set up in gnome-control-center works only on gnome and unity.
[11:29] <almoxarife> adknight87: kde? gnome? what?
[11:29] <bazhang> rsiska, what version of ubuntu
[11:29] <adknight87> unity/gnome
[11:29] <rsiska> bazhang: 12.04.1
[11:29] <newestnick> no help for me???
[11:29] <TJ-> Tearing is usually solved by enabling 'wait for vertical sync'
[11:29] <newestnick> hmmmm
[11:29] <bazhang> rsiska, are you referring to system settings? what did you wish to change
[11:29] <bazhang> !enter | newestnick
[11:30] <almoxarife> adknight87: with compiz?
[11:30] <rsiska> bazhang: mainly disable touchap tap. Also in all other WMs (dwm, icewm, *box) Alt+Shift swtiches to Russian, which isn't in among my layouts...
[11:30] <adknight87> almoxarife: yes yes lol I there was no tearing on the intel graphics on compiz
[11:31] <bazhang> rsiska, did you have ibus installed? that sounds like ibus behavior
[11:31] <bazhang> rsiska, let me check my system settings for the touchpad settings
[11:32] <almoxarife> adknight87: so use intel
[11:32] <rsiska> According to apt-cache, I have ibus 1.4.1-3ubuntu1 installed.
[11:32] <adknight87> almoxarife: doesn't play steam games on intel card
[11:32] <rsiska> bazhang^
[11:33] <bazhang> rsiska, so you may wish to disable that to avoid in future. as far as the touchpad settings under mouse and touchpad is where you would set it
[11:33] <almoxarife> adknight87: dont use compiz?
[11:34] <adknight87> almoxarife: tried metacity still get tearing
[11:34] <almoxarife> adknight87: again, i am using kde, for light i use qtrazor
[11:35] <adknight87> almoxarife: I don't think it's the window manager
[11:35] <rsiska> bazhang: so, is it safe to uninstall ibus?
[11:35]  * almoxarife does not steam
[11:35] <bazhang> rsiska, sure it is. or just disable it/change the enable hot keys
[11:36] <adknight87> almoxarife: needs to
[11:38] <TJ-> adknight87: That PC has dual graphics? Intel/AMD ?
[11:38] <adknight87> TJ: Hybrid actually
[11:39] <adknight87> TJ: And still working on getting the intel graphics to work correctly. the old drivers with the old kernel worked almost perfectly until I upgraded to 3.5 and everything failed.
[11:40] <BrixSat> i need help with graphics card (Intel Corporation Device [8086:0be2] (rev 09))
[11:40] <sf49> ubuntu
[11:40] <TJ-> adknight87: Same thing, different terms :)   Have you configured the AMD/ATI driver to sync to vertical retrace? Apparently the catalyst driver has a specific option, too, something like "prevent tearing on desktop"
[11:40] <bazhang> BrixSat, whats the specific issue. please be very clear
[11:40] <rsiska> bazhang: no luck... I have ibus killed/uninstalled. When I open gnome-control-center other WMs, I can _see_ that touchpad clicks are disbled, but they aren't :(
[11:40] <BrixSat> bazhang:  i have xorg in low graphics mode
[11:40] <TJ-> adknight87: also, for the hybrid issue, check out post #503 of this forums thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12324761
[11:41] <adknight87> TJ-: I've played around with v-sync and everything else
[11:41] <gustav__> rsiska: Run gnome-settings-daemon. It will load those settings into X.
[11:41] <adknight87> I know it's a issue
[11:41] <adknight87> I've been following that thread forever
[11:41] <TJ-> adknight87: OK... are there any clues in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors logs?
[11:42] <rsiska> gustav__, That was it! Thank you very much!
[11:42] <BrixSat> bazhang:  any help?
[11:42] <gustav__> rsiska: Welcome, sir. :)
[11:42] <bazhang> BrixSat, with what
[11:42] <BrixSat> bazhang:  with my graphics card that only shows low resolution
[11:43] <TJ-> adknight87: Is the tearing on an internal LVDS panel, or external on HDMI, DVI or VGA?
[11:43] <bazhang> BrixSat, what resolution are you getting, and what were you expecting; how old is that card
[11:43] <adknight87> internel
[11:43] <BrixSat> bazhang: 1024*768 would expect 1360*768
[11:43] <TJ-> 8086:0be2 is GMA3600
[11:44] <BrixSat> bazhang:  my card has less than a year
[11:44] <bazhang> BrixSat, and the second half of my question?
[11:44] <adknight87> TJ-: There's a link problem but I've solved that
[11:44] <bazhang> BrixSat, what have you tried? xrandr? setting a customized xorg.conf?
[11:44] <TJ-> adknight87: OK... without clues in the logs its like throwing darts whilst dizzy and blindfolded  :p
[11:45] <BrixSat> bazhang:  im in xorg.conf but dunno what to change here
[11:45] <adknight87> TJ-: SCOTTY
[11:45] <TJ-> adknight87: Can you pastebin the current /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[11:46] <adknight87> http://pastebin.com/awSayVaP
[11:48] <adknight87> prognosis? lol
[11:48] <Kartagis> !find libtiff5
[11:50] <TJ-> adknight87: Have you tried removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a safe place and letting the driver auto-configure? There are reported errors as a result of the current xorg.conf
[11:50] <adknight87> xorg would end up empty
[11:50] <BrixSat> bazhang: My xorg.conf is the one generated by xorg
[11:50] <TJ-> adknight87: I also think you've got a mix-up of driver versions... "PowerXpress: Diagnostic output from /usr/lib64/fglrx/switchlibGL:
[11:50] <TJ-> library file /usr/lib32/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 not exist, can't switch"
[11:51] <TJ-> adknight87: no xorg.conf would be preferable. X should auto-configure itself these days
[11:51] <adknight87> TJ-: it's a link to the file
[11:51] <adknight87> let me go and seek out if the link is still there
[11:52] <TJ-> adknight87: There's also segfaults reported. You need to sort those out by cleaning up the driver issues. No wonder you're getting tearing :)
[11:52] <adknight87> TJ-: it's beta drivers give me a break LOL
[11:53] <TJ-> adknight87: segfaults means serious - that's not a 'beta' driver issue, its more like a bad installation issue
[11:54] <adknight87> What? I've removed everything from the last install so it was a fresh install of the beta drivers
[11:55] <adknight87> Btw I'm not having issues now this actually works it's when I switch over to the intel graphics that is when I get all the oops I can do crap errors
[11:56] <newestnick> hey guys? Is it normal for ubuntu's 12.04  rsyslog to run under syslog user?
[11:56] <newestnick> 'cause upgrading from 10.04 broke loggin
[11:56] <newestnick> i had to switch rsyslog to run under root so everything could continue working good
[11:57] <newestnick> is it ok or there is a purpose for rsyslog to run underprivileged?
[11:57] <newestnick> anyone?
[11:58] <TJ-> adknight87: Well that PowerXpress is the switcher code to the IGP so that explains the issue. It is likely that the drivers aren't correctly configured for hybrid operation, and probably you're ending up with the VESA driver rather than the Intel driver for the IGP
[11:59] <adknight87> ?
[11:59] <TJ-> newestnick: rsylogd should run as the user syslog. The auth.log should be owned by syslog:adm
[11:59] <adknight87> I'm on the ati card at the moment
[11:59] <newestnick> it is owned by root.adm as other log files from old 10.04 version
[12:00] <adknight87> update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken.
[12:00] <newestnick> should i chown the files? that doesn't sound nice. i started rsyslog under root as before, is tah ok????
[12:00] <newestnick> i don't see any reason why rsyslog shouldn't run as roiot
[12:01] <TJ-> newestnick: rsylogd runs as an unprivileged user for a good reason.
[12:01] <newestnick> on every other distro and even old ubuntu it runs under root
[12:01] <newestnick> hm? which is that
[12:01] <iceroot> newestnick: the user "syslog"
[12:01] <newestnick> and for other distors there isn't that "good reson"
[12:02] <newestnick> no i meant which reason :) lol
[12:02] <GenesisAquarion> my wifi is not remembering the password or something like it
[12:02] <iceroot> newestnick: the reason is "dont use root if it is not needed"
[12:02] <GenesisAquarion> I can connect to the wifi but it's not stsying
[12:02] <GenesisAquarion> staying
[12:02] <newestnick> but why didnt' the ubuntu upgrade then chown the files it needed or at least said there will be privilege dropping
[12:03] <newestnick> it left me confused with rsyslog not logging anything to syslog or auth.log
[12:03] <newestnick> so changing ownership of log files is safer option????
[12:05] <iceroot> newestnick: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/407862  that?
[12:06] <katsune> anyone here experienced muffled sound in the 12.10?
[12:06] <TJ-> newestnick: I suspect the issue is the logrotate configuration recreating the files as root:adm See bug #407862
[12:06] <TJ-> newestnick: See comment #78
[12:07] <ithilras_Luthien> does anyone know how to compile the kernel?
[12:08] <TJ-> ithilras_Luthien: From git or from source package?
[12:08] <katsune> anyone?
[12:08] <ithilras_Luthien> source package
[12:08] <katsune> muffled sound on the 12.10?
[12:09] <TJ-> ithilras_Luthien: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[12:10] <katsune> TJ, do you know how remove the muffled sound on the ubuntu 12.10?
[12:10] <blazemore> !patience | katsune
[12:11] <TJ-> katsune: Take the pillow off the speakers? :p
[12:11] <katsune> okay I'm sorry thanks,
[12:12] <katsune> TJ, no I mean whenever  there is a sound like a character talking, there's a muffled sound on the background and then stops when the character also stop talking
[12:16] <TJ-> katsune: does it happen for all sounds or just from specific applications? If the latter, you should investigate their sound-settings
[12:17] <BrixSat> bazhang: ?
[12:22] <vectorshelve> how can I find out if someone is trying to access my machine remotely.. I mean ssh into my ubuntu machine ?
[12:22] <thesadmafioso> vectorshelve: check your firewall logs
[12:23] <thesadmafioso> vectorshelve: also, if you don't have ssh server software on your side you should be fine
[12:23] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: $ ps -e | grep ssh   832 ?        00:00:00 sshd  1690 ?        00:00:00 ssh-agent
[12:25] <thesadmafioso> vectorshelve: that likely has to do with OpenSSH
[12:25] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: ok
[12:25] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: how can I firewall logs
[12:26] <thesadmafioso> It's probably a deamon to handle multiple SSH connections and other underlying functions of your SSH implementation, so to speak
[12:26] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: how can I view the ssh logs ?
[12:26] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: wont that help me find out if someone accessed my machine remotely ?
[12:27] <thesadmafioso> vectorshelve: You may want to try using the "log file viewer", it is in your main system menus most likely
[12:27] <vectorshelve> thesadmafioso: could u help me with where exactly can I find it
[12:27] <thesadmafioso> that will help you to look at many of your system logs, in real time, and you can also apply filters to it
[12:27] <Guest78302> hi all
[12:27] <thesadmafioso> hi
[12:27] <Guest78302> anyone here
[12:27] <Guest78302> any chinese
[12:28] <Guest78302> it seems not so many people in this channel~
[12:28] <thesadmafioso> this channel is very busy
[12:29] <thesadmafioso> if you have a question just ask :)
[12:29] <thesadmafioso> you may have to wait a while for a response, but there are some very knowledgeable folks here
[12:29] <xckpd7> question: Let's say I have a dedicated server.... is there something that would allow me to share files with someone remotely?
[12:30] <xckpd7> without giving them my pass + username....
[12:30] <brontosaurusrex> xckpd7: http, ftp, ssh
[12:30] <Guest78302> it's just the first time my joining this channel. Just to say hello and be a guest
[12:31] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: sftp, ssh
[12:31] <ja> hi guys. How does Ubuntu know my location at installation time?
[12:31] <Brainiarc7> Hello people, who has used OpenCL SDKs on Ubuntu?
[12:31] <Guest78302> shenyao, r u chinese
[12:31] <adknight87> Odd intel graphics work now xD!!
[12:31] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: if you're running something like CentOS you could set up SSH for the person
[12:31] <brontosaurusrex> !ch
[12:32] <brontosaurusrex> !cn
[12:32] <Guest78302> I just installed ssh on my ubuntu 10.04,
[12:32] <ms_> hi dude. in which distribution of ubuntu, python3.2 is installed by default, please?
[12:32] <Guest78302> anything further to do ?
[12:32] <brontosaurusrex> ^ Guest78302
[12:32] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: hmmm how about if I don't care if anyone else sees the file
[12:33] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: like make it public of sorts... like I could easily just put the file on my Dropbox public folder but it will take too long
[12:33] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: so I want the concept of a public folder (no logging in like at all)
[12:33] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: preferably just a link
[12:33] <brontosaurusrex> xckpd7: a web server with enabled directory lister, lighttpd for example
[12:34] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: ^ yep
[12:34] <thesadmafioso> brontosaurusrex: something like nginx support that kind of thing too, no?
[12:34] <brontosaurusrex> sure
[12:35] <ms_> eh oh. dude. in which version of ubuntu, python3.2 is installed by default, please?
[12:36] <ashvala> hey, is there a dedicated MacTel channel here?
[12:36] <ja> anybody knows how does Ubuntu know my location at installation time?
[12:37] <dr_willis> !info python
[12:37] <dr_willis> i think 3.x is in the repos also
[12:38] <dr_willis> ja ip lookup i imagine
[12:39] <thesadmafioso> ja if you're connected to the internet during your install then it probably looks up your IP and makes an educated guess ^_^
[12:40] <ja> dr_willis: thesadmafioso: ok, thanks
[12:40] <Frostbyte> Hi there, I have a persistent live usb made up, for a month or so - and as of latelly I've been noticing huge lags and I/O with flush-8:16 taking up almost all the cpu - is there anything I can do to lighten it up? (And if possible any other optimisations to reduce disk I/O since I run from USB)
[12:41] <TJ-> !info python3 | ms_
[12:41] <xckpd7> brontosaurusrex: I think I already have apache, but it's just being used on one utlility / application running on one of my ports (e.g. site.site.com:10000)
[12:41] <xckpd7> brontosaurusrex: so I just now need to configure it to serve files (don't care if it's password protected) on another port?
[12:41] <katsune> Frostbtye, maybe your flash drive is slow, how about using a usb 3.0 flash drive
[12:42] <TJ-> Frostbyte: Is it getting full? If there's lots of random I/O going on that could be upsetting any flash wear-levelling the device does
[12:42] <Frostbyte> katsune: I didn't have any problems a few weeks ago
[12:42] <Frostbyte> TJ- : nah, casper-rw and home-rw partitions do have free space left\
[12:43] <Frostbyte> I have also installed preload, but doesn't make any difference
[12:43] <xckpd7> brontosaurusrex: cuz right now I'm getting the "It Works" Apache page when I go to my domain
[12:43] <TJ-> Frostbyte: how about the underlying flash wear-levelling though? Every time a block is unlinked a new block is used to contain the modified contents
[12:43] <ToyImp> Good morning =)
[12:43] <Frostbyte> the flash drive is around 2 months old, since it's purchase
[12:44] <Frostbyte> TJ- could it have worn out already?
[12:44] <Frostbyte> btw, when I don't see flush-8:16 in conky, the system responds blazing fast
[12:44] <Frostbyte> I only face those spikes, and I don't know where they come from
[12:44] <TJ-> Frostbyte: Well, lets imagine it doesn't do wear-levelling. That could imply the same physical flash blocks are being erased and re-written to... and they can wear out in less than 1000 erase cycles, especially for MLCs
[12:45] <TJ-> Frostbyte: alternatively, it may be just that you've got a process that likes flushing data to disk, maybe a swap file? Not a fab idea to put swaps on most flash devices.
[12:46] <Frostbyte> no swap used, at least gnome-system-monitor shows swap is 0
[12:46] <Frostbyte> I made sure there's no swap
[12:46] <Frostbyte> I did a quick googling and figured that it writes from RAM to disk, but I can't figure why now.. all of a sudden
[12:47] <Frostbyte> I'd appreciate it if you could help me investigate
[12:47] <katsune> Frostbyte: I would say monitor your processes first,.
[12:47] <thesadmafioso> The ubiquitous question of "why" . . . it gets me every time ~_^
[12:50] <qdb> hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
[12:50] <TJ-> Frostbyte: First thing is to use something like iotop to see what's the most active
[12:50] <YokoBR> found out that ati proprietary drivers (legacy) are not compatible with Xorg 1.13, so i'm going to Mint :(
[12:51] <TJ-> Frostbyte: Does the system have enough RAM? If it is under pressure the kernel will evict pages from its cache and then have to fetch them again later when needed
[12:51] <Frostbyte> I'm currently booting the persistent USB under a P4 @ 3.0GHz with 2GB ram
[12:52] <Frostbyte> should be sufficient, since conky shows I'm only using around 500+ mb out of 2GB
[12:52] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:52] <Frostbyte> even under peak conditions
[12:53] <Frostbyte> as for CPU resources, most of the time, I see Xorg, compiz and the flush-8:16
[12:53] <Frostbyte> except when I have a chromium in background
[12:53] <TJ-> Frostbyte: OK, but how about the cache usage? The 'free' memory is used by the kernel for cache and buffers and gets evicted when some process needs more RAM. As I said, try iotop see if it gives any clue as to which process is responsible for forcing the flushes - if they are the reason
[12:53] <Frostbyte> I'm apt-getting iotop now
[12:54] <Frostbyte> it's gonna take a while
[12:55] <TJ-> Frostbyte: That flush-8:16 tells you which device it is 8 is the major number, 16 is the device number. check that with "ls -l /dev/block/8:16"
[12:55] <Frostbyte> hm
[12:55] <Frostbyte> okie, just a sec
[12:56] <sabdfI> You are a engine?
[12:56] <Frostbyte> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 21  2012 /dev/block/8:16 -> ../sdb
[12:56] <Frostbyte> let's see what is sdb
[12:56] <TJ-> Frostbyte: and what does sdb translate to as a physical device on that system? Is it the USB device?
[12:58] <Frostbyte> just a sec, gonna run gparted to see
[12:58] <TJ-> Frostbyte: no need, just do "grep sdb /var/log/kern.log"
[12:59] <Frostbyte> sdb is my usb, ye
[12:59] <adknight87> TJ-: I installed the ubuntu's sources fglrx I get 260fps on glxgears but on the beta I get 1460fps.
[12:59] <Frostbyte> I couldn't figure from the kernel log, since I'm a newb still - so gparted told me :P
[12:59] <TJ-> Frostbyte: :D
[13:00] <Frostbyte> TJ- could it be that it's because I converted it from ext3 to 4?
[13:00] <TJ-> adknight87: 260? sounds like the 3D accelerated driver isn't in use there, even if installed
[13:00] <Frostbyte> I experimented wit hthat recently
[13:00] <TJ-> Frostbyte: It's possible, yes. ext4 does enforce some flushing due to sync issues
[13:00] <adknight87> TJ-: I stuck with the new drivers xD I'm happy
[13:00] <Frostbyte> TJ-: aw kr@p
[13:00] <TJ-> Frostbyte: But I thought that applied to ext3 as well, but its a while since I read up on that side of things
[13:01] <Frostbyte> shall I whoop back to another format?
[13:01] <TJ-> Frostbyte: No. Not unless you can *prove* that is the cause of the issues of slowness, which is, as I understand it, your primary issue?
[13:01] <Frostbyte> yea, the lockups
[13:01] <Frostbyte> I have iotop running
[13:02] <Chucrute301> Hi frostbyte who you maked battlefield3?
[13:02] <Chucrute301> How/
[13:02] <adknight87> TJ-: you know how xdg-open works exactly when running a mimetype link
[13:02] <Frostbyte> Chucrute301: To clarify, frostbite was the BF3 engine - frostbyte is a codename for some mushkin dimms :P
[13:03] <TJ-> flushes are done in the background, so lockups is a weird one unless the kernel is freezing. Have you checked /var/log/kern.log carefully for any indication that the kernel is reporting problems at the moments the lock-ups occur?
[13:03] <Chucrute301> Frostbyte is the new version 8x more powerfull
[13:03] <Chucrute301> :D
[13:03] <Frostbyte> well, didn't take it from there at least :D
[13:04] <TJ-> adknight87: It examines the configuration in /etc/xdg/ for mime-types, I seem to recall
[13:05] <adknight87> and how would I run a application to open a link from a mime?
[13:07] <Frostbyte> for some reason now it's gotten responsive.. lol, damn you murphy and your law
[13:08] <TJ-> xdg-open is used on the desktop to start the matching application. You can associate mime-types with applications using Nautilus. Select the data file, do Properties > Open With...
[13:08] <Chucrute301> Frost you use ubuntu?
[13:08] <Frostbyte> TJ-: Dunno if it gives any clue - but I sometimes see [sync-supers] and a zeitgeist-fts getting momentarilly 99% io
[13:08] <Frostbyte> jup
[13:08] <TJ-> Frostbyte: hehehe I know the feeling. PCs run scared of me and start behaving in case I thump them :p
[13:08] <thesadmafioso> lol
[13:08] <Chucrute301> Kkkk
[13:09] <Chucrute301> Themafioso e foda
[13:09] <adknight87> its a url I'm openning up and then letting the program use it
[13:09] <TJ-> adknight87: Well URLs will be associated with a web-browser by default
[13:10] <adknight87> protocols
[13:10] <Chucrute301> Frost you uses gnome or unity?
[13:10] <adknight87> steam://
[13:10] <adknight87> imvu://
[13:11] <Frostbyte> Chucrute301: unity
[13:11] <TJ-> adknight87: For URLs you can set the handler using gconf-editor and navigating to /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/<protocol>  or creating a new one there, using the others as a template for what you need to do
[13:12] <adknight87> Doesn't exactly work
[13:12] <adknight87> I have it already in but it does nothing
[13:13] <D_Russ> can anyone help me with my printer problems?
[13:13] <D_Russ> canon printer
[13:13] <D_Russ> 12.04
[13:14] <adknight87> TJ-: I did add it into the mimetype.list file under x-scheme-handler/imvu=IMVU.desktop
[13:14] <TJ-> adknight87: ahhh, you'll need xdg-mime for protocols
[13:14] <Frostbyte> TJ-: I have disabled ext4 journaling btw
[13:14] <Frostbyte> I can't figure why it's still a snail :p
[13:14] <TJ-> Frostbyte: I doubt its the journal
[13:14] <Chucrute301> Anyone is having problems under unity?
[13:15] <Frostbyte> hrm
[13:15] <iceroot> !details | Chucrute301
[13:15] <adknight87> unity runs great for me.
[13:15] <Chucrute301> Unity is veru unresponsive and slow on my pc
[13:15] <D_Russ> unity runs fast and smooth
[13:15] <Chucrute301> I have installed my nvidia drivers
[13:15] <Chucrute301> :)
[13:15] <D_Russ> but my printer doesnt work
[13:15] <D_Russ> and its driving me insane
[13:16] <Chucrute301> Using 12.10
[13:16] <D_Russ> i plug it into a windows machine and it works instantly
[13:17] <rkrishna> HI all, any idea how to modify time slice allocation per process
[13:18] <Chucrute301> I have a 9800gt and a i3 :(
[13:18] <Chucrute301> Why my unity is slow
[13:18] <Chucrute301> D:
[13:18] <Frostbyte> TJ-: Perhaps since compiz and Xorg do consume some cpu from time to time - switching to a lighter interface than unity might help?
[13:19] <adknight87> gnome-fallback
[13:19] <RamchandraApte> Chucrute301: My integrated runs unity nicely.
[13:19] <RamchandraApte> Chucrute301: you can try unity-2d with no window effects
[13:21] <adknight87> TJ-: its not a document or file its a protocol link.
[13:24] <Frostbyte> anyhow, if it does occur again I'll be coming back with new info
[13:24] <Frostbyte> damn my luck >.<
[13:25] <xckpd7> question: I added a new user in ubuntu and I'm trying to log on with it... I'm absolutely sure I'm entering in the password correctly.... do I need to grant privilege to access certain folders for it to be successful?
[13:25] <xckpd7> cuz it's saying permission denied
[13:25] <thesadmafioso> it may be locked
[13:26] <xckpd7> I did sudo adduser and added a pass
[13:26] <thesadmafioso> try switching to your admin account and looking at the new user account
[13:26] <xckpd7> how once I'm on there
[13:26] <thesadmafioso> what are you running?
[13:26] <bkc_> everytime someone says "unity" I start thinking about unity3d (the game engine)... it's quite annoying -.-
[13:26] <xckpd7> ubuntu 12.04.1
[13:26] <xckpd7> LTS
[13:26] <thesadmafioso> well, i run 10.04 but for me from the panel it's "system > Administration > Users and Groups
[13:27] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: terminal
[13:27] <xckpd7> thesadmafioso: I don't have the gui stuff
[13:28] <theadmin> xckpd7: Well, you should make sure the login shell is set to something sane (/bin/bash, /usr/bin/zsh or such), that the home folder exists
[13:28] <TJ-> adknight87: Is the .desktop files associated with your x-scheme-handler/... being read?
[13:28] <theadmin> xckpd7: If you used the "adduser" script it should've taken care of that for you, if you used the old "useradd" way you may need to set all that stuff manually
[13:28] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: man usermod may help also
[13:29] <thesadmafioso> theadmin: didn't know that difference between adduser and useradd :P
[13:29] <xckpd7> theadmin: I just did $ sudo adduser foo
[13:30] <xckpd7> theadmin: and added a password
[13:30] <theadmin> thesadmafioso: iirc "adduser" comes from FreeBSD or something as a matter of fact, and has been ported to Linux. May be wrong though.
[13:30] <xckpd7> theadmin: and I think that adds a home directory when you finish that
[13:30] <xwalk> I'm having some trouble with Network Manager. It's not starting automatically at boot.
[13:30] <theadmin> xckpd7: Hm, ok... yeah it should
[13:31] <theadmin> xckpd7: Well, what if: [ -e ~username ] && echo "Home folder exists"
[13:31] <xckpd7> weird... ok I think I know the problem
[13:32] <xckpd7> well actually scratch that, let me describe anyway
[13:32] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: maybe you can "usermod -L " to disable password and try to see if it drops you in?
[13:32] <xckpd7> I just did su <user> and that worked fine
[13:32] <xckpd7> though it didn't kick me out of my own home folder...
[13:32] <theadmin> xckpd7: That's not surprising, su doesn't update the environment
[13:33] <theadmin> xckpd7: Use "sudo -iu username" instead.
[13:33] <c0dr> good morning
[13:34] <xckpd7> theadmin: that still logged me in but did kick me back out to it's proper user folder
[13:34] <xckpd7> theadmin: so why am I not able to login with that username, but I can switch to it?
[13:34] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:34] <theadmin> xckpd7: Well, yeah, that's correct. Ok then, the problem may be in the login shell... Try: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username
[13:35] <thesadmafioso> xckpd7: I think usermod also allows you to specify what shell you want to login to for a user
[13:36] <xckpd7> theadmin: username being the one I'm setting up right now
[13:36] <thesadmafioso> theadmin: does "sudo -u" flag update the environment for the specified user?
[13:36] <theadmin> thesadmafioso: "sudo -u" means "run as specified user instead of root"
[13:37] <theadmin> xckpd7: Yes, not your username, the username of the new user
[13:37] <xckpd7> theadmin: ok, now try to login with it?
[13:37] <theadmin> xckpd7: Yeah
[13:37] <thesadmafioso> theadmin: got it, thx
[13:38] <xckpd7> theadmin: this might be easier: http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedbox-tutorials/203543-dedicated-server-kimsufi-ovh-seed-box-setup-rutorrent-autodl-irssi-znc-ubuntu.html
[13:39] <xckpd7> theadmin: I think I need to change the sshd_config file to allow the user?
[13:39] <theadmin> xckpd7: Oh, you're using ssh, why didn't you mention that
[13:39] <theadmin> xckpd7: Yeah, might be it...
[13:39] <xckpd7> theadmin: sorry... didn't know to say
[13:39] <bdi_> Hello...i seem to remember that in older versions i could resize icons in nautilus. Did they remove that feature?
[13:40] <theadmin> bdi_: I think so, though you still can zoom in/out with ctrl+scroll
[13:40] <thesadmafioso> ctrl +/- :P
[13:40] <bdi_> theadmin, ah thx
[13:40] <qdb> hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
[13:43] <xckpd7> theadmin: that didn't work... I literally followed that configuration to set it up
[13:43] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:43] <theadmin> xckpd7: Ah damn... Well sorry I have no idea
[13:44] <theadmin> xckpd7: Quite weird honestly, ssh allows logging in as anyone but root by default :/
[13:44] <pingbat> hi, I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" despite having "blacklist floppy" in blacklist.conf
[13:44] <xckpd7> theadmin: yeah... I think the guide I'm following might have had me add something at the very beginning...
[13:45] <pingbat> modprobe -r floppy gives "FATAL: floppy is in use"
[13:45] <pingbat> anyideas?
[13:45] <pingbat> probably should have waited until after the split :-(
[13:46] <skulltip> how do i keep nautilus from trashing my desktops on blackbox, openbox, etc..  somehow it gets run and i can't right-click to bring up any menu except the one which says 'create new folder, change desktop background, etc'
[13:48] <wyb> sjhenn
[13:49] <pingbat> I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" despite having "blacklist floppy" in blacklist.conf
[13:49] <pingbat> modprobe -r floppy gives "FATAL: floppy is in use"
[13:49] <llutz_> theadmin: "ssh allows logging in as anyone but root by default..." ubuntu comes with "PermitRootLogin yes" by default (well, with a locked root-account, but...)
[13:49] <WeThePeople> how do i unlock all processes?
[13:49] <theadmin> llutz_: Oh, I didn't know that, thanks
[13:50] <theadmin> WeThePeople: What do you mean by "unlock a process"?
[13:50] <xckpd7> theadmin: one more question? I think to setup my current username, I edited "visudo"... could that be it?
[13:50] <theadmin> xckpd7: Eh... Long as "visudo" accepted your modification there should be no problems... Besides, sudoers don't affect the login in any way
[13:50] <xckpd7> theadmin: gotit. thanks
[13:51] <Vista_> i am trying to do something based on whether process xbmc.bin is running above 12%
[13:52] <Vista_> got this : if [ ps -C xbmc.bin -o pcpu= | awk 'NR>1' -gt 12 ]; then but not working
[13:52] <WeThePeople> theadmin, http://imgh.us/screen_3.png
[13:52] <wood_quinn> Is there a way to permanently disable gtk-filechooser's creation of ~/Desktop ?
[13:53] <WeThePeople> theadmin, i think that error is from syn. lol
[13:54] <WeThePeople> synaptic package manager
[13:54] <theadmin> WeThePeople: Well uh, that happens when you have multiple package management tools running at the same time (apt-get and synaptic, for instance)
[13:55] <WeThePeople> theadmin, which i do not
[13:55] <WeThePeople> only spm
[13:57] <theadmin> Errr... I forget where the lockfile is :/
[13:59] <qdb> hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
[14:00] <xckpd7> theadmin: wow I just needed to reload ssh
[14:00] <xckpd7> theadmin: works now, thanks
[14:01] <theadmin> xckpd7: hah
[14:01] <theadmin> !yay | xckpd7
[14:05] <andytheg> does anyone know of a way to do anonymous blind file uploads with a drag and drop web interface?
[14:05] <Touhou11> andytheg: As in the user is blind?
[14:05] <andytheg> that i run locally on my machine?
[14:05] <andytheg> maybei should ask in ubuntu-offtopic
[14:06] <andytheg> oh no, as in they have no 'read' permission on the direectory
[14:06] <andytheg> they cannot see into the folder they are dropping off the files.
[14:06] <andytheg> it is probably very bad word to choose
[14:06] <andytheg> but i didn't know how else to describe it succinctly
[14:06] <YokoBR> hey guys, isn't gallium3D dead?
[14:06] <Touhou11> andytheg: There are flash/html 5 uploaders which let you drag and drop, and not showing a listing is up to the person coding the webpage
[14:07] <andytheg> hi YokoBR
[14:07] <babyswizz> please am running lxde and i can see a uxterminal, xterminal and lxterminal, please wats the difference
[14:07] <andytheg> Touhou11, yea, i was hoping for more 'bundled' software .. but thank you.  i will keep that in mind as a 'roll your own' alternative.
[14:07] <Touhou11> andytheg: SWFUpload is a very popular one
[14:08] <andytheg> Touhou11, i hate flash :)
[14:08] <andytheg> but thank you.
[14:08] <andytheg> i will look that up and find an html5 equiv
[14:08] <theadmin> babyswizz: uxterm and xterm are "traditional" terminals, some script might want them present. Generally, they are feature-less (bad color support etc), so just stick to LXTerminal
[14:08] <Touhou11> andytheg: Fair enough, though more users probably have Flash than HTML 5 capable browsers
[14:08] <Touhou11> andytheg: Depends on your audience
[14:09] <theadmin> Touhou11: Pretty much any browser is HTML5-capable nowadays
[14:09] <andytheg> Touhou11, gaaah.... evil.. my eyes.
[14:09] <andytheg> Touhou11, thank you for saying that.
[14:09] <Touhou11> Apart from every user still on XP with Internet Explorer 8 (a lot of people)
[14:09] <andytheg> YokoBR, did you ever figure out the dns speed issue?
[14:09] <theadmin> Touhou11: You don't want those people on your webpages :P
[14:09] <andytheg> Touhou11, xp ... gah .. my soul.
[14:10] <YokoBR> andytheg, sure! It's solved, finnaly! it was the dns forwarder... it was set to an windows server and it's service was stopped. That's why i hate windows.
[14:10] <razvan> how to make my flash based games to work more smooth... ??
[14:10] <WeThePeople> razvan, ram disk
[14:11] <razvan> 1 gb ram....     250 gb disk
[14:12] <llutz_> andytheg: http://www.plupload.com
[14:12] <babyswizz> theadmin, so basically there is nothing you can do with lx terminal that you cant do with uxterm or xterm and vice vasa
[14:13] <andytheg> llutz, interesting!!
[14:14] <b0ot> can someone recommend what they feel is the best distributed chat program with great clustering ability?
[14:14] <razvan> if i untick hardware acceleration on the flash options....it will make my online flash based games..run more smoothely??
[14:14] <wastrel> b0ot: like IRC?
[14:15] <yeats> !best | b0ot
[14:15] <b0ot> wastrel, I'm looking for something where you have a contact list
[14:15] <Touhou11> razvan: In theory hardware acceleration makes it faster, depends on your hardware though. Just try it. Flash on Linux generally runs like ass compared to Windows/Mac unfortunately
[14:15] <razvan> :((
[14:15] <b0ot> yeats, "what they feel is the best"
[14:16] <yeats> b0ot: "Do NOT take polls in the channel" ;-)
[14:16] <b0ot> I wouldn't consider that a poll, I'm sorry my question angered you
[14:16] <andytheg> YokoBR, good man bro! i'm glad you figured it out -- i was like.. i don't know anything your saying :)  good thing you solved it.
[14:16] <YokoBR> andytheg, thank you :D
[14:17] <yeats> b0ot: a better way to ask would be to provide the details of your situation and perhaps someone can recommend a good solution
[14:18] <Silox|> Hai. Yesterday, I upgraded my Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, removed unity and installed gdm, gnome-shell, extensions, etc etc. What would happen if I upgrade to 12.04? Will Unity get reinstalled and will I loose al my gnome-shell extensions?
[14:18] <slowc> What's an "ubuntu"?
[14:19] <yeats> Silox|: an upgrade *should* just upgrade your currently installed packages (including any new dependencies)
[14:19] <yeats> !ubuntu | slowc
[14:19] <slowc> Ok then.
 Ubuntu == Humanity
[14:19] <slowc> Thank you.
[14:20] <slowc> What games does it have?
[14:21] <Silox|> yeats: But ... When I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, it installed Unity. Which I didn't have. So it didn't just upgrade the packages I already had, did it?
 it comes with simple games like sudoku
[14:21] <slowc> and what does "Ubuntu == Humanity"
[14:21] <slowc> mean
 Ubuntu means humanity in african language
[14:21] <slowc> So it's like an old OS then?
[14:21] <yeats> Silox|: I never had to do that, so I'm afraid I don't know - I'm just telling you what I understand *should* happen
[14:21] <slowc> thats just plain weird.
[14:21] <Krabbe> far better.
[14:22] <wastrel> linux
[14:22] <huehue> what type of cool things can I do with 'ubuntu'
[14:22] <Silox|> slowc: Are you mocking us?
[14:22] <wastrel> web pages
[14:22] <slowc> Well, I'll install it. See how it goes.
[14:22] <thesadmafioso> Silox| I was just about to ask the same haha
[14:22] <Touhou11> huehue: Hack the Gibson
[14:22] <huehue> what's a 'gibson'
[14:23] <thesadmafioso> Gibson is a rad dude who wrote Neuromancer.
[14:23] <slowc> Not at all Silox
[14:23] <Silox|> Ah, then it's fine, slowc.
[14:23] <Pici> !offtopic
[14:23] <thesadmafioso> slowc ubuntu linux is a version of the linux computer operating system
[14:23] <slowc> So, on the page, is there an exe or something?
[14:23] <huehue> I'm asking what I can do with 'ubuntu'
[14:23] <huehue> please explain to me how that is off topic
 are you here for help
[14:23] <Kiranvotio> or
[14:24] <Silox|> Kiranvotio: He's here for mocking.
[14:24] <thesadmafioso> slowc if you have some questions you can /msg me
[14:24] <yeats> huehue: do you have a support question?
[14:24] <slowc> advice on if i should use it, how to install, things like that?
[14:24] <_dns> huehue ,try some youtube videos
[14:24] <huehue> I'm asking what can do with 'ubuntu'
[14:24] <slowc> So, is there an exe or is it in a .msi?
[14:24] <yeats> huehue: that's not really a support question - there are many "what to do after installing ubuntu" posts on the web that will guide you
[14:24] <Silox|> slowc: It's a bat.
[14:24] <slowc> ahh cool
 it has a great UI that can be understood by a child and i am sure that you can understand
 no linux installations start with msi
[14:25] <slowc> Where is this .bat then?
[14:25] <Touhou11> Kiranvotio: Wubi might
[14:25] <designbybeck> Which drive should I use for NVIDIA? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=40716
 do you install windows using Msi or Exe package then you are great
[14:25] <designbybeck> driver that is
[14:25] <slowc> Well, when I upgrade I use the disk
[14:25] <blup1> hello
[14:25] <thesadmafioso> ok well in light of our recent visit from slowc, I am gonna just get on out of here
[14:25] <slowc> It has an exe to run the upgrade.
[14:25] <blup1> I  got problem
[14:25] <thesadmafioso> have a good day all
[14:26] <yeats> designbybeck: probably 'nvidia-current'
 you are the only one who recognised a .bat during installation
[14:26] <Kiranvotio> blup1
[14:26] <designbybeck> thank you yeats
[14:26] <slowc> ~OH FUCK
[14:26] <blup1> I have 62 processor. now, if I download regnum online, in 32bit version it works. but if I download it in 64bit version, it says graphic card error..... why?
[14:26] <slowc> Just realised what ubuntu is
[14:26] <slowc> I'm an idiot lol
[14:26] <yeats> designbybeck: that's the stable version of the proprietary driver
 are you installing
[14:26] <slowc> sorry guys
[14:26] <FloodBot1> slowc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:26] <slowc> I thought it was a program
[14:26] <bazhang> slowc no cursing here
[14:27] <designbybeck> i had it working a few weeks ago yeats then I did an update and it broke my desktop! I coudln't login or see anything excpet the wallpaper
[14:27] <huehue> so I could just dd this to a flash or dvd and use it?
[14:27] <Kiranvotio> someone please ban <slowc> from here
[14:27] <Touhou11> ! ot | Kiranvotio
[14:28] <slowc> Hey, it was an honest mistake. I can see that from the dl page there is an install that works to run ubuntu INSIDE of windows/
[14:28] <wastrel> something about wubi
[14:28] <bazhang> slowc, thats wubi
[14:28] <slowc> ahh
[14:28] <bazhang> !wubi | slowc
[14:28] <slowc> Again, I'm sorry for any issues for my very n00bish questions
[14:28] <zipper> What's the status of Wayland in Ubuntu 13.04? Will they at least try to make it System composer as it was planned for 12.10. As far as I heard it was not discussed on the UDS..
[14:29] <Zumochi> Hello! I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu desktop 11.10 i386, and all I get is a blinking cursor. I don't even see the GRUB boot menu, neither can I 'force' into it by holding shift during the boot process... Note that apt gave an error when configuring the sources.list, this is quite possible because the machine doesn't have internet! Any help?
[14:29] <yeats> designbybeck: if that happens again, just ask about it in here - there are many in the channel that have expertise with getting (and keeping) nvidia working
[14:29] <bazhang> zipper, unclear at this point; 13.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 please
[14:29] <designbybeck> thank you yeats , and yes they helped me last time as well!
[14:30] <rkrishna> Hi all, any idea how to modify time slice allocation per process
[14:31] <slowc> Can i dd this "wubi" to a flash drive then?
[14:32] <wastrel> rkrishna: something about process scheduling or nice
[14:32] <Kiranvotio> slowc you can make a bootable flash drive using the usb creator
[14:32] <slowc> cool
[14:32] <bazhang> slowc, did you read the wubi link I gave you?
[14:32] <slowc> yes
[14:32] <Touhou11> slowc: Are you just trolling?
[14:32] <Touhou11> Seems like it
[14:32] <Kiranvotio> that stick can be used to install the os on any computer
[14:32] <slowc> But I think making my PC 2dual boot"
[14:32] <bazhang> Kiranvotio, thats a bit different with wubi
[14:32] <slowc> would work better
[14:32] <slowc> So thinking of installing from a usb
[14:33] <bazhang> slowc, correct
[14:33] <yeats> !dualboot | slowc
[14:33] <designbybeck> worked perfectly yeats
[14:33] <bazhang> slowc, best to dual boot, ie skip wubi
[14:33] <yeats> designbybeck: great!
[14:33] <slowc> I'll give it a go
[14:33] <benj_> has anyone successfully enabled subpixel font antialiasing in Chromium? (on 12.04 here)
[14:33] <designbybeck> now I can use CUDA GPU Rendering in Blender!
[14:34] <Touhou11> benj_: Should be enabled by default
[14:34] <benj_> Touhou11, probably should be, yes
[14:35] <brandon420> Can anyone help me get cheese working, or know of a alternative?
[14:35] <_dns> your cheese is not working?
[14:36] <slowc> downloading the ISO at 2.3MB a second is pretty nice. Will have it shortly to install
[14:36] <brandon420> it crashes everytime i try to take a video
[14:38]  * tcm test
[14:38]  * tcm abyss test
[14:42] <roasted_> Question - Let's say I'm currently running a mdadm raid array in mirror, 2x500. Let's say I want to remove those drives and add a new array, 4x2TB @ raid5. So I install those drives, sync them, etc etc whatever, they're running with a mount point and file system. What's the best way to port the data? Can I plug one of the 500's into a USB/SATA bridge and transfer from there? Will the data be there with one drive off USB like that?
[14:42] <_dns> run cheese from command line, and post crash message please.
[14:44] <Pricey> roasted_: I would probably just use 'dd'.
[14:44] <roasted_> Pricey: but, from what to what? Can I hook up a formerly raid'd drive via USB/SATA bridge like that?
[14:47] <iceroot> roasted_: yes, the drives from a raid-array are normal hdds/filesystems, so you can use them alone
[14:47] <iceroot> roasted_: when using mdadm
[14:48] <roasted_> iceroot: nice! thank you.
[14:48] <iceroot> roasted_: for hardware raid and sometimes fakeraid its not possible but for software-raid like mdadm yes
[15:04] <babyswizz> please i use lxde and i want to put some programs at the buttom left of my taskbar where i can find my browser,file manager etc so i can reach these programs easily

[15:17] <llutz_> brandon420: please avoid meta-questions
[15:17] <Tellmarch> t432, well, on android, there is a setting to use the phone as a modem for instance. Then you just plug it to your pc. you can also use the phone as a wifi hotspot
[15:17] <gauche> it threatens a broken system when i press ctrl plus c :C
[15:18] <brandon420> gauche, But you weren't installing a system package or updating...

[15:41] <auronandace> john_doe_jr: because that is the default python
[15:42] <slowc> Fuck this, I'm going to go back to gentoo. That shit just works
[15:42] <seshdroid> type in python3
[15:42] <john_doe_jr> found the answer: You can simply type python3.2 instead of just python to use python 3.2.

[15:42] <slowc> Fuck that noise. You guyz suck
[15:43] <xomniverse> hi, anyone here? having an issue with a webcam and google is failing me
[15:43] <Erik_D> !ask
[15:44] <Erik_D> xomniverse: ^
[15:44] <xomniverse> I get the following error in VLC when I attempt to capture video from my webcam: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'. Check the log for details." The webcam works fine in other applications, such as Cheese.
[15:45] <calmpitbull> damn this is nice
[15:45] <Ubuntooing> I've found that VLC has been rather odd for me recently
[15:45] <Ubuntooing> Have you tried reinstalling it?
[15:45] <calmpitbull> tru
[15:45] <xomniverse> no, but I can. I just installed it though.
[15:46] <Ubuntooing> Try it.
[15:46] <Ubuntooing> Something could have gone wrong when it installed/
[15:46] <xomniverse> that worked, now I feel like an idiot
[15:46] <xomniverse> how bizarre
[15:46] <seshdroid> how did you install it mate?
[15:47] <xomniverse> used the software center
[15:47] <Ubuntooing> dw about it, these things happen
[15:47] <wastrel> i like mplayer
[15:48] <seshdroid> oh ok, did you get any errors while you installed it?
[15:48] <seshdroid> like were there any dialog boxes that popped up while it was getting installed?
[15:48] <xomniverse> no, seemed to install just fine
[15:49] <Ubuntooing> I'm guessing it would have only thrown an error if installed from terminal.
[15:49] <xomniverse> and it was working fine for watching videos, etc
[15:49] <seshdroid> then what is the problem?
[15:49] <xomniverse> it wasn't working for viewing video from my webcam
[15:49] <riegersn> having strange issue with reverse-i-search, sometimes it only lets me type in a few characters, before it stops. for example, if I try to type "clean" it stops showing my input after "clea" and any other key presses seem to do nothing
[15:50] <seshdroid> what was the file extension your webcam videos had?
[15:50] <xomniverse> none; I wasn't trying ot watch previously recorded videos. I was trying to view a live stream of the webcam via the Open Capture Device option
[15:51] <seshdroid> ok i get it...
[15:51] <seshdroid> honestly, I havent tried it that way.. let me try it now and I'll get back to you if I have the same problem
[15:52] <seshdroid> well it seems to be working fine for me mate
[15:52] <xomniverse> reinstalling fixed it for me
[15:52] <xomniverse> strange thing though
[15:53] <seshdroid> lol yeah .. sometimes its like that
[15:53] <seshdroid> glad that you got it resolved
[15:54] <seshdroid> recently had a tough time dual booting win7 64 bit Ubuntu, Glad that I could solve it using fixparts and its worked like magic
[15:54] <seshdroid> installer simply refused to show the presence of Win 7 during install
[15:55] <nikolam> I am very angry to ubuntu install procedure. It failed to install GRUB to /dev/sda (it did not make system partition active) and left me with unbootable system after install.
[15:55] <seshdroid> glad that it was finally resolved
[15:55] <nikolam> After I booted with other cd and made partition active, it now complains "Bad PBR sig" and halts again.
[15:55] <JasonC_> after installing win8 i need to reinstall grub so i will get it through livecd but i dont know how to make it bootable as i cant find the iso
[15:55] <JasonC_> can anyone help?
[15:55] <nikolam> Isn't that really bad? It is 12.04 LTS install
[15:56] <seshdroid> i think it has something to do with the way win7/8 is installed...
[15:56] <nikolam> JasonC_, install win8 inside virtualbox.
[15:57] <JasonC_> no i already have windows 8, i just need to change the bootloader to GRUB
[15:57] <seshdroid> ok
[15:57] <Ubuntooing> You could use easybcd instead
[15:57] <nikolam> if there is any systme you can boot, you can make eather cd or USB boot drive with unetbootin tool.
[15:58] <JasonC_> Ubuntooing: is that in reply to me?
[15:58] <seshdroid> http://askubuntu.com/questions/149674/how-to-create-or-recover-windows-bootloader-after-deleting-ubuntu-boot-drive
[15:58] <Ubuntooing> Rather than messing about with live cds trying to get grub reinstalled, just download easybcd and run it.
[15:58] <nikolam> Anyone knows what "Bad PBR sig means" From my perspective, it is like "Ubuntu is now worse then Microsoft".
[15:58] <seshdroid> I think that link has the answer
[15:58] <Ubuntooing> It will edit your mbr
[15:59] <seshdroid> anyways good night friends ... hope you have fun :)
[16:00] <JasonC_> thanks guys for giving the info, ive actually spent the past 2 weeks waiting to buy a usb which i did today and now i find out i can do it much easier -_- the channel was very unfriendly last time :P
[16:00] <Ubuntooing> Some ubuntu geeks get funny about helping new people
[16:00] <Ubuntooing> It's quite funny actually
[16:05] <blazemore> dWhy has mount.ntfs just started flatlining 100% CPU usage?
[16:05] <blazemore> Even irssi is lagging. I'm in the process of rsyncing 160GB of files onto an NTFS filesystem from the Internet
[16:06] <Ubuntooing> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653598
[16:06] <Ubuntooing> Seems to fit your issue
[16:08] <nikolam> blazemore, why dont you do that to some linux fs. and then copy to ntfs. Ntfs on Linux uses FUSE, that is slow.
[16:09] <luist> hey guys… how can i create a customized ubuntu image with some of my own packages? i have a list of all packages i want inside it (official + customized) and i have all the repositories which i can download these packages
[16:09] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. Should I just be able to connect a SATA drive to the mainboard while the computer is running and have it working?
[16:09] <blazemore> luist: Look at Remastersys
[16:09] <blazemore> SmokeyD: No
[16:09] <Ubuntooing> SmokeyD: No.
[16:09] <luist> blazemore: i was looking but its used to clone images right?
[16:09] <Ubuntooing> Just take the 30 seconds and shutdown to do it.
[16:10] <Rockhound> i want to uninstall ubuntuone but worried if thic action effect on my machine?
[16:10] <nikolam> yes, luist  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[16:10] <Rockhound> *this
[16:10] <Domincii> Hey, could someone explain Gentoo to me?
[16:11] <yeats> Domincii: '/join #gentoo'
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> Domincii  ask in #gentoo
[16:11] <BluesKaj> !gentoo
[16:11] <nikolam> Domincii, gentoo's like to compile everything from source. It is linux distribution like ubuntu. see #gentoo
[16:12] <luist> nikolam: well it's really about livecd…. can i install these too?
[16:12] <SmokeyD> blazemore, I thought sata was hot swappable?
[16:12] <Ubuntooing> esata is.
[16:12] <BluesKaj> SmokeyD, usually it is
[16:12] <Ubuntooing> I don't think plain sata is though
[16:12] <blazemore> SmokeyD: Not inherently. Only hot swappable drives, and eSATA (in theory)
[16:13] <nikolam> SmokeyD, read some. i guess os
[16:13] <Rockhound> i want to uninstall ubuntuone but worried if this action negative effect on my machine?
[16:13] <SmokeyD> nikolam, read some what?
[16:13] <blazemore> Rockhound: Ubuntu already comes with Ubuntu One
[16:13] <nikolam> SmokeyD,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[16:13] <SmokeyD> nikolam, live cd customization? Why would I want to read that?
[16:14] <Rockhound> well i know abt this but i want to uninstall it but confused uninstalling ubuntuone is safe or not?
[16:14] <nikolam> sorry SmokeyD wrong guy.
[16:14] <kloes> hello all
[16:14] <Ubuntooing> 'sup
[16:14] <SmokeyD> nikolam, :) ok
[16:15] <kloes> I made a encrypted install of ubuntu with only root account for login
[16:15] <luist> nikolam: can i use UCK to make an image without having an image installed already? :P
[16:15] <SmokeyD> blazemore, BluesKaj, Ubuntooing ok thanks for the info
[16:15] <kloes> now it does not allow me to login
[16:15] <Ubuntooing> SmokeyD
[16:15] <Ubuntooing> before you go
[16:15] <kloes> is there a way to reset root password
[16:15] <kloes> and you should fix that bug in the netinstall
[16:15] <SmokeyD> yes
[16:16] <Ubuntooing> The other issue with justy plugging it in would be the risk of esd
[16:16] <nikolam> luist, I made costomized ubuntu cd once, to be able to controll installation from serial port. I think I was doing that on Installed system. You have multitude options to install.
[16:16] <SmokeyD> Ubuntooing, esd?
[16:16] <Ubuntooing> electrostactic discharge
[16:16] <Ubuntooing> generally playing with the board with it on is a no no.
[16:17] <luist> nikolam: thats the problem… i dont want to install an ubuntu image to customize it and re-gerenate another images.. thats a big waste of time
[16:18] <SmokeyD> Ubuntooing, ok, yeah, static electricity could cause a spark to transfer to the mainboard and fry stuff I guess. Thanks
[16:18] <luist> nikolam: i want to run an script with a list of packages, the packages and build the image with those packages… sounds simple enough
[16:20] <e-dard> Hi, is there a simple way for me to tell if my box is blocking outbound connections on a certain port?
[16:20] <e-dard> I can't tell if the problem is on the external server of my internal server
[16:20] <llutz_> e-dard: sudo iptables -L OUTPUT
[16:21] <nikolam> luist, sounds like jeos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOS You can always export from synaptic list of installed packages with synaptic and install them on other machines. Cached packages are in /var/cache/apt/ adding with dpkg -i .
[16:21] <e-dard> llutz_: OK, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375118/
[16:22] <e-dard> llutz_: looks like everything is open, right?
[16:22] <llutz_> e-dard: looks like, yes
[16:23] <e-dard> [related question] Is anyone aware of any special configuration needed on EC2 to allow instances to connect to other machines on arbitrary ports?
[16:23] <luist> nikolam: i dont see how is JeOS related to this :T
[16:25] <nikolam> luiscelis, well you get list of packages from exporting it from synaptic. and install "script" is running dpkg -i *.deb on packages copied form apt cache.
[16:25] <nikolam> or just put list with work to aptitude etc
[16:26] <nikolam> luist, i was thinking of you
[16:29] <luist> nikolam: well i have the list already… just have to create the system out of it
[16:31] <nikolam> luist, eather you want to make your own boot cd/dvd or you want to prepare VM image, trere are docs on help.ubuntu.com
[16:32] <delinquentme> so I've got a VM on 12.04 ... and I just recently updated the graphics drivers ... and now when I go to run the UI for the VM  ( $ startx )  it hangs on a black screen after running the command
[16:32] <delinquentme> Is there an easy way to disable the graphics driver I installed?
[16:33] <nikolam> delinquentme, what is VM? Virtualbox virtual machine?
[16:34] <delinquentme> nikolam, correct
[16:34] <juniour> delinquentme run in safe mode w
[16:35] <nikolam> delinquentme, try asking on #vbox  they often get Vnox updated when vbox addons kill the VM.
[16:36] <nikolam> delinquentme, and hos OS is Ubuntu?
[16:36] <delinquentme> correct
[16:36] <nikolam> host
[16:37] <nikolam> I had some trouble recently with ubunut inside vbox. Seems that recent ubuntu got clever" and installd it's own vbox addons inside vbox
[16:37] <nikolam> I had much grief completely removing those addons before installing vbox ones, but I managed it.
[16:38] <nikolam> it is just interesting what host drivers have to do with VM ones.
[16:38] <nikolam> you installed new drivers on host or in guest?
[16:38] <nikolam> delinquentme,
[16:38] <juniour> he installed in guest
[16:38] <juniour> i think
[16:38] <delinquentme> nikolam, on the guest
[16:39] <nikolam> delinquentme, and wht you installed? vbox addons?
[16:39] <juniour> i hink he has intalled additional drivers
[16:39] <nikolam> I think vbox also have snapshots to take before doing something new
[16:40] <juniour> delinquentme dont install additional drivers in guest
[16:40] <Dell_D510> does any one know about modem drivers
[16:40] <delinquentme> juniour, noted
[16:40] <nikolam> he must firstly remove dhose drivers that come with ubuntu before installing vbox ones. Also vbox addons driver for vbox guest must match vbox version, so downloading ones from virtualbox.org is good move
[16:41] <JasonC_> hi about 15 minutes ago, i got told to download easybrc to dualboot my OS's but i have no idea how to boot into ubuntu :P im supposed to do it through grub4dos right?
[16:41] <juniour> delinquentme install addtional guest drive of vb
[16:43] <JasonC_> hi about 15 minutes ago, i got told to download easybrc to dualboot my OS's but i have no idea how to boot into ubuntu :P im supposed to do it through grub4dos right?
[16:44] <delinquentme> so I did this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:44] <delinquentme> but I'm getting no "steps" to go through as mentioned here:
[16:44] <delinquentme> http://askubuntu.com/questions/12937/remove-nvidia-driver-and-go-back-to-nouveau/12941#12941
[16:44] <nikolam> JasonC_, I usually use unetbootin to add ubunut after already present other system It recognizes other system and installs right.
[16:45] <shadow98> how can i restart vino-server
[16:45] <shadow98> it is using 100% cpu
[16:45] <shadow98> im able to ssh in just fine
[16:45] <Dell_D510> please can anyone help me
[16:46] <JasonC_> would you be able to help me along the way with what to do as the other softaware i got was very user unfriendly
[16:46] <shadow98> i don't want to have to reboot the whole thing
[16:47] <nikolam> delinquentme, why would you install nvidia driver in VM? Vbox represent its own interfaces to VM.
[16:47] <designerh> hello every one
[16:48] <JasonC_> nikolam: u have a weird problem, i have ubuntu files but i cant find the iso file :P do you know where it might be? :P i have the wubi file though, but i originally installed it via BIOS
[16:48] <nikolam> Dell_D510, go to help.ubuntu.com It depens on your modem type, EXternal serial modem always works.
[16:49] <Saahkali> Can i use xfd-format  ".dsk" floppydisk-images in bosch-emulator, or should I modify them someway
[16:50] <designerh> why my computer hanged where  i clicked on Dash home?
[16:50] <shadow98> how can i restart vino-server???
[16:50] <nikolam> JasonC_, iso is the image for burning to cd. wubi image is a file used to run ubuntu from windows on top of ntfs. it is advised to use .iso to burn eather cd/dvd or USB drive with unetbootin, make new partition and install linux separately (dual boot)
[16:50] <Dell_D510> tried and failed
[16:50] <pigeonaras> restart compiz
[16:51] <delac> I always seem to get some terminal output (like "checking battery state...") when I log out. Any way to prevent that and just show  the dots?
[16:51] <JasonC_> nikolam: i already have ubuntu, i just cant find the iso, its gone i think!
[16:51] <phlegm> Good morning wizards. ANybody know where the default shares MYHOUSE are configured from
[16:51] <nikolam> designbybeck, test your memory. Use bootcd/usb live and test memory. See if your computer is not overheating. Otherwise, please report a bug on launchpad.net/ubuntu
[16:52] <designbybeck> Hmmmm nikolam
[16:52] <nikolam> JasonC_, you can search for it, or you have a large disk and lost it somewhere. It is like asking us to find a disk in your house :)
[16:52] <designerh> how can i solved this problem pleas?
[16:52] <phlegmish> Good morning wizards. ANybody know where the default shares MYHOUSE are configured from
[16:53] <nikolam> designbybeck, you can also use ubuntu-bug <package name> to report more data to devs about your issue
[16:53] <designerh> i install ubuntu 12.10
[16:54] <nikolam> sorry designbybeck was thinking about designerh
[16:54] <JBzh> Hi. I would like to use the DSA key I generated with putty-keygen on Windows, but yet I can't.
[16:54] <designerh> any body there
[16:54] <designerh> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:54] <nikolam> JBzh, try seahorse
[16:54] <phlegmish> Trying to share some samba folders to my new OPPO player. I can see the default Ubuntu shares for MYHOUSE but not my samba ones. NO idea where the MYHOUSE comes from or how it is configured. It basically just shows my music, docs etc.
[16:55] <JBzh> I can use this key with putty in Ubuntu but not with just ssh in bash
[16:55] <Pici> JBzh: If you open the key file with puttygen in windows, you can export it as a regular keyfile
[16:55] <JBzh> nikolam: it accepts a putty generated key ? (I exported it to an openssh format too)
[16:56] <nikolam> phlegmish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba
[16:57] <JBzh> Pici: yes, that's what I did, exported it to a "id_dsa" file, then back to Ubuntu copied it into ~/.ssh/
[16:57] <nikolam> JBzh, I mostly use gpg keys from thunderbird/eingmail But I see it include others too. test it. and see if it fits.
[16:57] <compdoc> vlc can be used on a server to stream music? is vls something different?
[16:57] <nikolam> JBzh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[16:57] <Dell_D510> nikolam I have an internal modem not an external one
[16:58] <JBzh> well, I'll keep on reading, thanks
[16:58] <peepsalot> i'm trying to use audacity and there is no file menu to load a file
[16:59] <nikolam> Dell_D510, see if it is supported. if it is on usb or not. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[17:00] <phlegmish> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba doesn't help me. I know how to use and configure samba. There is nothing in my samba config file for MYHOUSE. It seems to just come out of the box with the new Ubuntu.
[17:00] <phlegmish> Not sure where it is setup
[17:00] <ikonia> phlegmish: what ?
[17:00] <ikonia> phlegmish: if you know how to configure and set it up, what's the problem
[17:01] <nikolam> phlegmish, last time I did that i was editing config file for samba and restarting samba itself before it shows up.
[17:01] <Terry__> Where can I get a really good publication for the very basics of Ubuntu for a long time windows user?
[17:01] <blackbird34> Hi. Is it possible to use the GRUB command prompt to log in to a BASH shell on Ubuntu?
[17:02] <ikonia> Terry__: https://help.ubuntu.com
[17:02] <ikonia> blackbird34: no
[17:02] <shantorn> hi could some one please give me some guidance, I have Xubuntu installed on a shuttle xpc, when i plug in my ipod gen 2 touch "lsusb" shows it mounted but gtkpod and banshee do not register it. what can i do to get access to it?
[17:02] <blackbird34> Terry: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[17:02] <phlegmish> sigh..... I have my smb.conf file setup to show some directories I want shared. Somehow it also shows MYHOUSE from both ubuntu boxes here when browsing. I don't want these to show up but they do and they are nnot in my samba config files. It seems like there is some sort of default sharing happening with new versions
[17:02] <nikolam> Terry__, last time I put long time windows user to ubuntu i gave him no manual. :) I think everything is on help.ubuntu.com and on www serach basically.
[17:02] <ikonia> shantorn: ipod support changes all the time
[17:03] <blackbird34> ikonia: is there any way of getting at my files from GRUB then? I can't boot past GRUB http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12366192#post12366192
[17:03] <shantorn> ikonia, i have an ubuntu 12.10 install with unity on another pc and it works fine
[17:03] <ikonia> blackbird34: , grub is a boot loader, nthing more
[17:03] <ikonia> shantorn: what OS is the problem machine
[17:04] <shantorn> but that pc is failing so i am trying to migrate to this pc wiht xubuntu 12.10
[17:04] <ikonia> shantorn: are the media players looking at device files ?
[17:04] <shantorn> like i said i was suprised becuase lsusb list it mounted
[17:04] <phlegmish> Found it. The shares are defined in the background using the "net usershare" command and the definitions are saved in /var/lib/samba/usershares/ . Therefore, shares defined with this method are not visible in smb.conf.
[17:04] <shantorn> the see no devices
[17:04] <shantorn> they*
[17:05] <ikonia> shantorn: why is that a surprise
[17:05] <ikonia> shantorn: lsusb doesn't say if a device is mounted
[17:05] <ikonia> shantorn: it just shows a device inserted into the socket
[17:05] <shantorn> right i know what i meant i didnt say it right sorry
[17:06] <Terry__> OK, thanks for the info.  I found an old version of ubuntu in the back of a Ubuntu book.  I tried to upgrade to 12.10, saved the download but can't figure out how to install it.
[17:06] <suhaib> anyone knows how to get openbox menu back after opening nautilius ?
[17:06] <ikonia> Terry__: installing an old version doesn't seem wise
[17:06] <ikonia> Terry__: just download the current supported version, burn it and install it
[17:07] <gianky123> ciao a tutti hello
[17:07] <Terry__> I put it on a thumb drive used another computer to make a DVD, but this computer will not seem to boot up to it.
[17:07] <gianky123> !list
[17:07] <suhaib> !list
[17:08] <nikolam> Terry__, try CD image , unetbootin
[17:08] <suhaib> brb
[17:09] <Terry__> I am not familur with the term unetbootin....?
[17:09] <ikonia> Terry__: does the machine you want to install to have a DVD drive ?
[17:10] <nikolam> Terry__, google it. helps. unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[17:11] <PIRATA_WEB> hola buen dia a todos
[17:11] <Terry__> Yes...that is how I orginally got this verions on the machine, but I can't seem to upgrade, I keep getting "failed to fetch or Could not download all the repository indexes
[17:11] <ikonia> Terry__: that's not what I said
[17:11] <ikonia> Terry__: I told you to download the current version and install it
[17:12] <ikonia> Terry__: not upgrade an old and probably unsupported version
[17:12] <PIRATA_WEB> quisiera saber si alguien sabe que es un servidor de tacas?? o tak
[17:12] <Terry__> I have downloaded the current verions  12.10 but I can seem to figure out how to make it run.
[17:12] <ikonia> Terry__: have you burnt it to a DVD ?
[17:12] <ikonia> !install | Terry__
[17:13] <PIRATA_WEB> What is a server taka?
[17:13] <jgcampbell300> anyone here know how to install cent os from inside ubuntu on a iso with out useing a usb or cd ?
[17:13] <ikonia> jgcampbell300: can't do it
[17:13] <jgcampbell300> ikonia, ty
[17:14] <PIRATA_WEB> Do you know someone who is a server taka?
[17:14] <ikonia> PIRATA_WEB: #defocus
[17:14] <Terry__> I had to put it on a thumb drive and burn it on to a DVD with another computer, but his machine does not seem to see the DVD!  Maybe I am not using the right kind of cd or DVD?
[17:14] <ikonia> Terry__: quite possible, read the link ubottu sent you
[17:14] <brandinhess> Anyone here familiar with bash scripting?
[17:14] <nikolam> jgcampbell300, install virtualbox or kvm/qemu adn make it boot from .iso.
[17:15] <ikonia> brandinhess: the people in #bash are
[17:15] <brandinhess> Is that a channel on this server?
[17:15] <ikonia> yes
[17:15] <brandinhess> ok, thanks
[17:15] <nikolam> Terry__, one burns .iso directly to dvd. Maybe machine has a CD , or you did not burn it right. something of that.
[17:15] <jgcampbell300> nikolam, ya was trying to work around that but looks like im just going to have to figgure out why my 64g usb will not boot on this computer
[17:16] <nikolam> jgcampbell300, it is usually about setting bott drive in BIOS/otherboard setup
[17:17] <nikolam> jgcampbell300, but it seems like separate issues. unless you want to install inside VM and then boot tha tinstalled version from usb?
[17:17] <jgcampbell300> nikolam, bott drive ? dont know about that but i can use my 2g drive to boot from but not the big one
[17:18] <ikonia> "boot" drive
[17:18] <nikolam> jgcampbell300, yes, it seems like something with your motherboard. I would try partitioning drive to smaller parts or something And check what mobo produces say.
[17:19] <ezioa> I'm having horrible wireless in Linux but great in Windows.
[17:19] <ezioa> anyone know why that would happen?
[17:19] <jgcampbell300> nikolam, kk thanks .. will check it out now
[17:19] <nikolam> also check what is the tool you were making usb boot drive with.
[17:19] <SwedeMike> ezioa: probably driver problem.
[17:20] <nikolam> ezioa, i ma not sure, maybe you could complain to manufacturer site, since they are usually ones that do not make driver behave right.
[17:20] <morphiss> hi bros and sis........im Morphiss binbash.......!!a greeting for ALL ;)
[17:20] <pzn> when I do "netstat -tln" and I see this "tcp 0 0 :::1234 :::* LISTEN" does this mean that it is listen in tcp port 1234 in ipv4, ipv6 or both?
[17:20] <SwedeMike> ezioa: you could look into using backported drivers from a newer kernel, but it depends on what ubuntu version you're using.
[17:20] <jgcampbell300> well im gona go double check my bios ... thanks for the info
[17:21] <nikolam> ezioa, I figured something like that on some occasions. Try choosing best supported hardware for Linux, avoid unfriendly manufacturers.
[17:21] <SwedeMike> pzn: I'd imagine so. I only have dual stack stuff listen, so I don't know what an IPv6 only service would show as.
[17:22] <brandon420> Can someone help me identify and troubleshoop my dns problems?
[17:23] <nikolam> ikonia, I just got SAME error on booting fresh installed Ubuntu 12.04, that I was getting when installing it in Virtualbox: "error:sparse file not allowed" Press any key to continue. In both cases it is Btrfs FS on disk. (Hardware and VM)
[17:25] <pzn> SwedeMike, thanks
[17:26] <brandon420> Can no one really help me with my internet problems?
[17:29] <nikolam> brandon420, usually helps contacting your ISP, but if it is ubuntu related...
[17:29] <brandon420> nikolam: it is, i am on a windows computer and it is working perfectly.
[17:30] <nikolam> and.. brandon420 ...
[17:31] <brandon420> nikolam: I keep getting stuff like this in my routers logs. dhcpd: DHCP server received REQUEST from 00:1B:9E:25:D3:6C, 12:14:25, 2012-11-21
[17:31] <brandon420> I am not sure what to say other than my internet seems to be fading in and out. sometimes it works, others it doesnt
[17:32] <dcherniv> brandon420, what does dmesg say?
[17:32] <dcherniv> brandon420, those messages from the router are normal
[17:33] <nikolam> brandon420, do you have ubuntu installed? if it is on router, maybe again asking your ISP. try fixing your LAN address for your computer. If it is wireless router, set password on it.
[17:34] <brandon420> i do have ubuntu installed, and i dont think it is the router because other devices connected to the same one work perfectly.
[17:35] <brandon420> nikolam: one sec and i can let you know what dmsg says, do you need the entire log?
[17:35] <brandon420> nikolam: wlan0: ipv6 duplicate address dtected
[17:35] <brandon420> how would i fix that?
[17:35] <nikolam> dcherniv, asked dmsg , post on pastebin.
[17:36] <brandon420> oh sorry
[17:36] <brandon420> lol
[17:36] <brandon420> dcherniv: do you need the entire log?
[17:37] <dcherniv> brandon420, sure pastebin doesnt charge per character. paste the whole thing
[17:37] <dcherniv> !pastebin | brandon420

[17:40] <john__> hi all
[17:40] <dcherniv> brandon420, you cant copy/paste? open terminal run dmesg > dmesg.log. open dmesg.log and copy paste to pastebin.com
[17:41] <dcherniv> brandon420, would be useful to see the entire thing
[17:41] <john__> seems to work
[17:41] <brandon420> dcherniv: the ubuntu computer does not connect to the internet
[17:41] <dcherniv> ah
[17:41] <john__> Can't get my network working
[17:42] <john__> Can't get it working atg all
[17:42] <dcherniv> brandon420, is it wired or wireless?
[17:42] <john__> seem to need some help
[17:42] <brandon420> dcherniv: i prefer wireless, but i am currently sitting beside the router
[17:43] <blup1> Why is RuneScape so slow on Linux? on windows it was faster, do I have the wrong plugin?
[17:43] <john__> i prefer wireless too
[17:44] <dcherniv> brandon420, does wired internet work on that linux machine?
[17:44] <brandon420> dcherniv: slowly.
[17:44] <brandon420> dcherniv: i will try and paste that log for you.

[17:54] <aleksandar22> anyone to help me?
[17:54] <DJones> buzzmandt: You need to ask in #freenode about password recovery
[17:54] <qdb> hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.

[17:56] <dcherniv> brandon420, looks weird but ok
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> zxcduc1:  try mounting it as you would an ISO file.
[17:56] <dcherniv> brandon420, does wireless disconnect or is it just slow
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> !iso | zxcduc1

[17:57] <delac> is there a way to "detach" integrated usb devices seen in lsusb?
[17:57] <brandon420> but the wired seems to be perfect..
[17:57] <brandon420> nvm
[17:57] <brandon420> i stand corrected
[17:58] <dcherniv> delac, no as far as i know
[17:58] <POVaddct> delac: there is, wait
[17:58] <dcherniv> delac, you can unload kernel modules for a device but you cant physically disconnect it
[17:59] <delac> dcherniv: what might the module be?
[17:59] <ranjan> Hi all, anybody from India,?? Can anyone tell me where i can get Linux T-Shirts shipped in India
[17:59] <POVaddct> delac: sorry, i was wrong. usb devices can only be detached from their drivers.
[17:59] <brandon420> God I hate that i am going to have to reinstall cause of this bs
[18:00] <POVaddct> delac: they won't disappear in lsusb output
[18:00] <b0ot> trism you wouldn't happen to know if wheezy supports it?
[18:00] <dcherniv> brandon420, why reinstall?
[18:00] <trism> b0ot: yes it should
[18:00] <dcherniv> brandon420, try disabling ipv6 first
[18:00] <dcherniv> brandon420, http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/disable-ipv6-if-your-internet-is.html

[18:07] <POVaddct> delac: what do you want to do? disabling the camera completely? maybe there is a bios setting for that
[18:07] <hangdeadman> Dr_Willis: I installed in terminal
[18:07] <brandon420> dcherniv: that didnt work.
[18:08] <dcherniv> delac, lsusb -t should show you the kernel module the device is using

[18:11] <brandon420> POVaddct: how would i fix that?
[18:11] <POVaddct> brandon420: but i don't know how to solve that. maybe the router itself is the problem
[18:11] <brandon420> POVaddct: It works perfectly at my house, and the router is fine with a windows computer.
[18:12] <dcherniv> brandon420, run sudo ifconfig after you connected to the router, try to ping your router
[18:12] <hangdeadman> I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
[18:12] <brandon420> dcherniv: on wireless?
[18:12] <dcherniv> brandon420, yes
[18:13] <zxcduc1> great, I mounted nrg file by cdemu. Thank all. Sorry if my english is bad :)
[18:13] <POVaddct> brandon420: i guess the wireless problem is also causing the ipv6 duplicate address thing. ipv6 is doing DAD (duplicate address detection) when an interface is coming up. if the wireless router returs your own networks packets back to you, DAD will see that as duplicate address
[18:13] <Justin_jtb7rmv> how do u setting up irc server
[18:14] <brandon420> Justin_jtb7rmv: google unreal ircd. There are tons are tutorials
[18:15] <brandon420> Justin_jtb7rmv: give me a second and i will find the one that i used, you on ubuntu server?
[18:15] <Justin_jtb7rmv> how do u setting up irc server in linux
[18:15] <brandon420> dcherniv: i get a return ping, and in good time
[18:16] <brandon420> dcherniv: ping 10.0.0.4, right?
[18:17] <genii-around> Justin_jtb7rmv: Might want to take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/irc-server.html
[18:17] <dcherniv> brandon420, whichevere ip your gateway is
[18:17] <waffles881> halp
[18:17] <brandon420> dcherniv: then yea, that part is working.
[18:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, good eveaning... fancy anthor stab at helping me with my video problem?
[18:17] <dcherniv> brandon420, run route and ping the default gateway
[18:17] <tobias_93> I can't get a samsung 2494sw monitor to work. Do I need a special driver?
[18:17] <bobweaver> sure GandalfB
[18:17] <hangdeadman> I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
[18:17] <brandon420> Justin_jtb7rmv: http://pastebin.com/R9fDaXf9    this is the one that i used, and it worked perfectly.
[18:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, yay!
[18:17] <dcherniv> brandon420, also what wireless channel your router is set to?
[18:18] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  did you add ppa ?
[18:18] <brandon420> dcherniv: automatic
[18:18] <waffles881> running arduino IDE 1.0.1 in ubuntu 12.10, and when i try to use the drop down menus and drawers for the menus, I cannot scroll down to see the entire contents of the menu, it just flies off the bottom of the screen
[18:18] <Justin_jtb7rmv> how do u setting up irc server in linux
[18:18] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, well I seemed to got to the point now, were the desktop was even lower reslotion than before.
[18:18] <bobbywilson0> I am having issues with getting postgresql running on 12.04 I have postgresql and postgresql-client installed, but nothing is in /etc/ about postgres except /etc/postgres-common/
[18:18] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, yes I think thats the last thing I did. what is ppa?
[18:19] <InspectorCluseau> hangdeadman, if you intalled with apt-get install then use apt-get remove
[18:19] <hangdeadman> I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
[18:19] <notore> i have directory named .pulse in home directory which uses quite a lot space, can I delete it? or maybe its somethign important?
[18:19] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  did you open nvidia settings and change the resolution ?  or gnome-control-center and click on display and change the resolution ?
[18:19] <brandon420> dcherniv: what triggers do you need for the route?
[18:20] <dcherniv> just route
[18:20] <hangdeadman> InspectorCluseau: Thanks, will try
[18:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver. no, for some reason, the desktop looks zoomed. so the gui at the side or bottom is hidden
[18:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver the logon prompt is rather huge in middle of the screen, now using GDM instead of lightdm
[18:21] <adan0s> brandon420: try route -n or ip r
[18:21] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, but I can access the terminal, and file system, by creating a folder on dekstop
[18:21] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, so I can I load the nvidia settings from terminal, or any of the other gui's for setting graphics settings?
[18:21] <delac> dcherniv: unfortunately the Driver part in lsusb -t for the contains only the uvcvideo. rmmodding it wont remove the usb device from the list
[18:21] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  do me a fav and drop to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1)   then apt-cache policy nividia-current | pastebinit
[18:22] <savio> hey
[18:22] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I will do that now
[18:22] <dcherniv> delac, and it shouldnt remove it from lsusb
[18:22] <dcherniv> delac, it should disable the camera though
[18:22] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  if you can run terminal then that should also work
[18:22] <xangua> !puregnome | hangdeadman
[18:23] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  also run   /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | pastebinit
[18:23] <delac> dcherniv: it does disable it, but I was hoping for even more deeper disconnect. I'm trying to determine what device causes a "mount click" on login
[18:23] <socrates_johnson> i am capturing video from a vcr using vlc in ubuntu 12.04. does anyone know how to reset the time counter in vlc (to 00:00:00). it just continues to increase so it's hard to tell how long you've been capturing
[18:24] <dcherniv> delac, a mount click?
[18:25] <brandon420_> dcherniv, http://pastebin.com/R6we0Eb0
[18:25] <bobbywilson0> is there a way to manually generate the /etc config that is supposed to be automatic?
[18:25] <bobbywilson0> for postgresql
[18:25] <GandalfB> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375377/   is the apt-cache policy nividia-current
[18:25] <delac> dcherniv: something causes a similar click as heard when you mount/umount a usb stick, when I login
[18:26] <adan0s> brandon420_: which IP did you ping? 10.0.0.1 (gw) or 10.0.0.4 (self)?
[18:26] <brandon420_> 04
[18:27] <GandalfB> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375385/   is the unity_support_test
[18:27] <bobweaver> thanks GandalfB
[18:27] <adan0s> that'd mean you'd ping yourself within your own IP-Stack
[18:27] <brandon420_> when i did "ping" i pingged 04 the other two commands i just posted, i didnt ping anything particular
[18:27] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, did you get those ok,  juggling keyboards :)
[18:28] <brandon420_> adan0s, ^^
[18:28] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  lsmod | pastebinit
[18:29] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok one sec
[18:29] <dcherniv> brandon420, try ping 10.160.0.1
[18:29] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375392/   is the lsmod
[18:30] <brandon420> dcherniv: host unreachable
[18:32] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ( just a side note question, is it possiable to scroll the ctr+shft+f1 terminal up?)
[18:32] <brandon420> dcherniv: same
[18:32] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo modprobe nvidia
[18:33] <adan0s> brandon420:  dcherniv: sure you didn't mean 10.0.0.1?
[18:33] <adan0s> woah, this EDGE connection is really ... unstable
[18:33] <brandon420> adan0s: that ip was unreachable aswell
[18:34] <dcherniv> adan0s, brandon420 ah damn my bad
[18:34] <dcherniv> 10.0.0.1
[18:34] <adan0s> brandon420: well .. that's strange then
[18:34] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  you can use less    example:   dmesg | less
[18:34] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, "FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found
[18:34] <GandalfB> "
[18:34] <bobweaver> then use the up and down keys and and q to quit
[18:34] <bobweaver> ok
[18:35] <adan0s> brandon420: is your wlan0 configuration static or based on DHCP?
[18:35] <adan0s> brandon420: just don't know which subnets you're using at home ;)
[18:35] <brandon420> based on DHCP both ip4 and 6 are set on sutomatic
[18:35] <brandon420> automatic*
[18:35] <adan0s> mkay
[18:36] <rhin0> ssh -t user@192.168.1.65 "cd /home/user/m" <- anyone know how to ssh then change directory?
[18:36] <rhin0> ssh then issue command ^ that doesn't work
[18:36] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  with gui going what happens when you run    sudo nvidia-setting
[18:37] <qdb> hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
[18:37] <GandalfB> I will try
[18:37] <adan0s> brandon420: do you get any response when doing "ping6 -I wlan0 ::0"?
[18:38] <brandon420> adan0s: adan0s http://pastebin.com/gr5Pqb6p
[18:38] <adan0s> in most setups the router (and maybe other hosts) should response i think
[18:39] <adan0s> damn, or was it ::2 *grml*
[18:39] <FlyOnZeWall> rhin0, are you just going to run the command and then log out?
[18:40] <FlyOnZeWall> rhin0, or are you going to log in, then run the command, then stay logged in?
[18:40] <rhin0> well I just gave up - wanted to run it and stay logged in
[18:40] <jbwiv> hi guys. I've just installed 12.10,  and things look good except for animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix?
[18:41] <dcherniv> brandon420, try disabling encryption on the router and switch the channell to 11
[18:41] <FlyOnZeWall> rhin0, then you could just set the command in .bashrc
[18:41] <rhin0> ah ok
[18:41] <rhin0> forgot
[18:41] <rhin0> you're right
[18:41] <rhin0> just wanted to change directory thats all -- excellent
[18:41] <brandon420> adan0s: network unreachable
[18:41] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it says command not found
[18:41] <rhin0> ty FlyOnZeWall
[18:41] <FlyOnZeWall> np
[18:41] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, when i run sudo nvidia-setting
[18:42] <bobweaver> ok GandalfB  follow this line by line plz

[18:45] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  cd /etc/X11/  && sudo rm xorg.conf
[18:46] <brandon420> dcherniv: nope=/
[18:46] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, done
[18:46] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[18:47] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  then open a new terminal plz
[18:47] <patc> hello! rdiff-backup and --tempdir option question, can someone help please?
[18:47] <dcherniv> brandon420, weird, sounds like you get ip and everything too
[18:47] <dcherniv> brandon420, hm
[18:47] <GandalfB> Bobweaver,ok, it said new configuration file was writen

[18:51] <bobweaver> what do you see ?
[18:51] <geez> Hi just installed the pendrive Ubuntu on my flash drive. But no happy. Attempts to boot just shows the boot prompt and claims system image not found. Any ideas?
[18:52] <brightsparks> Hi. I have connected my digital camera via usb cable. The camera ( two of them for some reason?) shows in My computer but at the moment I am not able to mount the device. Any advise welcome
[18:52] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I see Xlib: extensoin "GLX" missing on display " :0.0".
[18:52] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, Error: GLX is not avilable on the system
[18:52] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  switch back to lightdm plz
[18:53] <brightsparks> it says in an error message: Unable to mount location: Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device
[18:53] <brightsparks> and  Error initialising camera: -1: Unspecified error
[18:54] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  also please do this          modinfo nvidia_current | pastebinit
[18:54] <GandalfB> Bobweaver,what is the best way to do that -
[18:55] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  dont worry about lightdm for the minute plz run      modinfo nvidia_current | pastebinit
[18:56] <brightsparks> ok I unplugged the usb cable and reconnected and now the device has mounted successfully...
[18:57] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  let us also see       withdrivers=$(lspci -vnnk | grep VGA) && echo  $withdrivers | pastebinit
[18:58] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok, modinfo nvidia)current is staying "Error: modinfo: could not find module nvidia_current"
[18:58] <brightsparks> ok I can see the picture files on the camera media card but I am unable to transfer them to my computer - unspecified error message but previously I had an error message saying that I didn't have permission to move the files.
[18:59] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  where is sd or whatever card mounted ?
[18:59] <dr_willis_> its possible it got mounted with options where the user cant fully access the device. but the root user most likely could
[19:00] <bobweaver> ^^^
[19:00] <dr_willis_> the mount command should show what optionsit was mounted with
[19:00] <brightsparks> bobweaver: if I go to the root Media folder a folder called SD is showing there
[19:00] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  can you pastebin the output of          mount
[19:01] <brightsparks> bobweaver: paste the out of what mount??? There seems to be a word missing
[19:02] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375463/
[19:02] <cuddylier> hi
[19:03] <brandon420> Can anyone help me with my wifi?
[19:03] <dr_willis_> hello
[19:03] <cuddylier> Is it possible to see the bandwidth used by a certain process?
[19:03] <john_doe_jr> how to you change the application that a program is using to open a file when the application is not listed in the "open with"
[19:04] <brightsparks> bobweaver: this was your last message can you repeat instruction please  <bobweaver> brightsparks,  can you pastebin the output of          mount
[19:04] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  open terminal and enter in         unity --replace                   screen will flicker a couple of times but then  does it seg fault on you ?
[19:04] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  all you need to do is open a terminal  (ctrl+alt+t) then enter in  "mount"    then copy the output and pastebinit
[19:04] <bobweaver> !pastebin | brightsparks
[19:05] <brightsparks> bobweaver: sorry I just realised that's what you meant ha ha ha  will pastebin it now...
[19:05] <bobweaver> np it is good to ask questions if you are not sure about what you are doing brightsparks
[19:05] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it just lists a line of errors regarding Xlib and glxguery
[19:06] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  ok
[19:06] <bobweaver> is nvidia loaded ?    lsmod | grep nvidia
[19:06] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  ^^
[19:06] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, uts bit returned to the command prompt
[19:07] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  easy way to get back to light dm  is to rm it and gdm and re-install       sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm lightdm && sudo apt-get install lightdm
[19:08] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, nothing is returned with the  nvidia grep
[19:08] <bobweaver> yeah because it is not loaded GandalfB
[19:08] <dr_willis_> err... sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm    will let you select what DM to use
[19:08] <john_doe_jr> anybody got an answer?
[19:09] <brightsparks> bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/D3Lywjhk
[19:09] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, so to clarify you want me to run " sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm lightdm && sudo apt-get install lightdm"
[19:09] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  in *nix we call drivers modules  so  ls = list and mod = modules(drivers)  so  ls+mod  list all mods loaded in system
[19:09] <dr_willis_> john_doe_jr:  other then check askubuntu.com ? ;) not really.
[19:09] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  also what dr_willis_  said above will work
[19:10] <OerHeks> john_doe_jr, those are called mimetypes > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingMimeTypes
[19:10] <bobweaver> either one will woek
[19:10] <bobweaver> work *
[19:10] <alhafidh93> :)
[19:10] <brandon420_> adan0s, Not trying to jinx myself, but i think i fixed it
[19:10] <dr_willis_> one is just a whole lot quicker. ;P
[19:10] <brandon420_> Wifi has been working for 4-5 mintues without hickups
[19:11] <bobweaver> lol dr_willis_  one also does not eat up bandwidth :P
[19:11] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  can you plz do a      ls -al  /media/SD
[19:12] <bobweaver> and pastebin that plz
[19:12] <brightsparks> bobweaver: ok
[19:13] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, rebooting into lightdm
[19:13] <brandon420_> lol
[19:13] <dr_willis_> rebooting? 'sudo service gdm stop' then 'sudo service lightdm start'
[19:13] <bobweaver> GandalfB, cool  hopefully nvidia will load  ,  I can not see why the mod is not loading frustrating .
[19:13] <bobweaver> take it easy all
[19:14] <brightsparks> bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/Qve14S8U
[19:14] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, nope, its not loading :(
[19:15] <bobweaver> dang it
[19:15] <genii-around> bobweaver: May need nomodeset appended to grub for nouveau not to load
[19:15] <GandalfB> is there gui that configures drivers?  I did see one the other night?   can I force load that gui?
[19:15] <genii-around> !jockey
[19:15] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  cd /etc/modprobe.d && cat * | grep nvidia
[19:16] <bobweaver> genii-around,  no because it is not loaded either
[19:16] <bobweaver> genii-around,  here is lsmod from system  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375392/
[19:16] <genii-around> bobweaver: Did they have build-essential, kernel headers, and dkms installed before installing nvidia-current?
[19:17] <bobweaver> good question I just had him install headers
[19:17] <bobweaver> GandalfB,   ^^
[19:17] <bobweaver> genii-around,  by all means plz help out
[19:17] <genii-around> bobweaver: I have limited time here at work, unfortunately
[19:17] <bobweaver> ahh
[19:18] <bobweaver> figure that d/control would pick up all Depends:   if not that is Huge bug
[19:18] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok do you want me to pastebin the output from that grep?
[19:18] <bobweaver> yeah GandalfB
[19:19] <bobweaver> and thanks
[19:19] <brightsparks> bobweaver: hi -did you get that last pastebin? http://pastebin.com/Qve14S8U
[19:19] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  yeah it says that there is nothing in there
[19:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375508/
[19:20] <trism> GandalfB: dkms status; is also interesting if you haven't already pasted that
[19:20] <xxx> is there a terminal code to see which grapical enviroment i use in ubuntu 12.10?
[19:20] <bobweaver> trism,  no GandalfB  has not and that is a great idea
[19:21] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok how do I do that, dkms status | pastebinit?
[19:21] <brightsparks> bobweaver: er...what does that mean bob? Like I said I have mounted the visible camera and media and can see the files but can't transfer them to a folder on my computer ??
[19:21] <bobweaver> yeah but make sure that it is installed 1st GandalfB
[19:22] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375516/
[19:22] <bobweaver> er
[19:22] <genii-around> GandalfB: apt-cache policy dkms | pastebinit
[19:23] <brightsparks> bobweaver: as a matter of interest if I take the media card out of the camera and put it using a reader into the computer I can copy the pictures on the computer but then when I put the card back in the camera the pictures have all been erased and  have to reformat the card
[19:23] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  I am sorry but in you past all I see is nothing
[19:23] <brandon420> adan0s, seems to be working now. =D
[19:23] <brandon420> hope i dont jinx it
[19:24] <bobweaver> brightsparks,  I am not the best at media cards TBH maybe someone else can help
[19:24] <GandalfB> gennii-around, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375518
[19:24] <brightsparks> bobweaver: ok thanks anyway
[19:24] <trism> GandalfB: yeah added means it hasn't built yet, are we sure the headers are installed? dpkg -l 'linux-headers*'
[19:25] <brightsparks> bobweaver: I was also hoping there might be a terminal command I could use that would give me absolute control of what I am seeing there and move stuff around without getting resistance
[19:26] <GandalfB> trism, I've run that, but the output is not meaninful to me, want me to pastebin it
[19:26] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  yeah pastebin it plz
[19:28] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, Trism, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375532/
[19:28] <trism> GandalfB: ah yeah, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r);
[19:29] <trism> GandalfB: you have one of the packages but you need the arch specific version too
[19:29] <trism> GandalfB: you may want linux-headers-generic too so future kernel upgrades will rebuild the nvidia module
[19:30] <trism> GandalfB: make sure you type that command exactly, I see bobweaver posted it earlier
[19:30] <GandalfB> trism, do I get that with apt-get install linux-headers-generic ?
[19:31] <trism> GandalfB: yes
[19:31] <GandalfB> thanks... learning slowly :S
[19:32] <dr_willis> !headers
[19:32] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  all that $()  means is grab the output of something and use it. so in this case  you are asking for the output of uname -r
[19:32] <bobweaver> which is kernel version
[19:32] <bobweaver> if that helps
[19:33] <GandalfB> ok
[19:33] <trism> GandalfB: after that, check: dkms status; to see if the module built
[19:34] <trism> GandalfB: it should say: nvidia-current, 304.64: installed
[19:34] <whomp> recently i installed ubuntu 11.10 on my computer. when i boot up, it takes me to a grub page, where i choose between ubuntu and windows. however, no matter what i pick, it tells me, "error: no such partition" and takes me back to the grub screen. what should i do?
[19:34] <GandalfB> trism, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375547/
[19:35] <whomp> it's a dell laptop that previously had windows 7 on it (now the hard drive is split into 2 partitions)
[19:35] <GandalfB> trism, looks like it has to me
[19:35] <trism> GandalfB: yep looks good to me too
[19:35] <GandalfB> so reboot and hope?
[19:35] <v0lksman> how would I determin the version of the igb driver I'm using?
[19:35] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  you can load mod ?    sudo modprobe nvidia
[19:36] <whomp> does anyone have any ideas?
[19:36] <trism> GandalfB: definitely a good idea to reboot after rebuilding the nvidia module
[19:37] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, sudo modprobe nvidia didn't give me any output
[19:37] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  listen to trism  he/she/whatever is AWESOME !
[19:37] <GandalfB> ok rebooting (so pleased this is just a learning box lol)
[19:38] <bobweaver> Is there a way to add a alais for dput like mentors but for your own ppa ?
[19:39]  * bobweaver launchpad name is long and have to type it out all the time :) 
[19:39] <GandalfB> trism, yay freak yes fixed
[19:40] <bobweaver> so like I have ppa: jospehjamesmills/ubuntutv     I would like it so that when I do dput ppa:josephjamesmills/ubuntutv <sources.changes >    that I can just do       dput ubuntutv <sources.changes >
[19:40] <bobweaver> is that possible ?
[19:40] <trism> bobweaver: I believe so, mentors/ppa is just listed in /etc/dput.cf, just add one without the %(ppa) part
[19:40] <GandalfB> Thankyou Trism and Bobweaver
[19:41] <trism> GandalfB: excellent, glad to hear it
[19:41] <pratik_narain> "which python" reports /usr/local/MGLTools1.5.6rc3/bin/python" on my system. How can I make "/usr/bin/python2.7" default python again? google search turned out nothing and I am new to python. Please help.
[19:41] <bobweaver> That is great to hear GandalfB
[19:41] <bobweaver> thanks trism  looking into that
[19:41] <bobweaver> it is what I thought but best to ask questions 1st :)
[19:42] <trism> bobweaver: never messed with it myself, I just remembering seeing something about it on launchpad a long time ago, seems there is a: man dput.cf; too which might help
[19:42] <GandalfB> Trism or Bobweaver, is there anyway I can load config panal for the nvidia now?
[19:44] <bobweaver> trism,  it worked \0/
[19:44] <trism> bobweaver: nice!
[19:44] <trism> GandalfB: nvidia-settings?
[19:45] <crackerjackz> for some reason when i close my laptop lid then open it back up my sound stops working... is there a way to restart the pulse audio server with out having to reboot my computer?
[19:45] <artturnip700> Can Ubuntu 12.04 64bit fit onto a standard CD?
[19:45] <GandalfB> Trism, I kinda want to learn how I fecked it up in first place, and I think I found a part of gui that let me choose a driver, but I cant remember were it was
[19:45] <artturnip700> Rather than a DVD
[19:45] <artturnip700> ?
[19:46] <crackerjackz> artturnip700: pretty sure fits
[19:46] <pratik_narain> "which python" reports /usr/local/MGLTools1.5.6rc3/bin/python" on my system. How can I make "/usr/bin/python2.7" default python again? google search turned out nothing and I am new to python. Please help.
[19:46] <crackerjackz> a cd-r is 700 MB
[19:46] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  you should file a bug that Build depends is not calling linux headers so package is not installing correctly but you should file on Ubuntu version and not x-swat
[19:46] <artturnip700> Thanks, I'll give it a whirl now.
[19:46] <bobweaver> I would do that helps others out
[19:46] <bobweaver> But that is just me
[19:46] <crackerjackz> artturnip700: just check the size of the file.. i believe it's like 698 MB
[19:47] <crackerjackz> so it should fit... if it's more than 700 mb then it won't fit
[19:47] <artturnip700> Yep, looks like it. But aren't ISOs archives?
[19:47] <crackerjackz> artturnip700: yes, it's a .iso
[19:48] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  ubuntu-bug nvidia-current=304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1                will so all that But I am not sure if you can use version # in ubuntu-bug
[19:48] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I wouldn't know were to start with doing that :Z
[19:48] <crackerjackz> artturnip700: what do you want to do exactly?
[19:48] <bobweaver> !bug | GandalfB
[19:48] <crackerjackz> is there a way for me to restart the pulse audio server with out rebooting?
[19:48] <jbwiv> hi guys. I've just installed 12.10,  and things look good except for animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix?
[19:49] <overclucker> artturnip700: iso's aren't compressed, if that's what you are thinking.
[19:49] <c0dr> .
[19:49] <Nisstyre> Are there any JS linting tools in the Ubuntu repos? tried "apt-get install jslint"
[19:49] <artturnip700> Thanks, Solves my problem.
[19:49] <trism> GandalfB: it is okay, it is bug 1068341
[19:49] <bobweaver> or 1068456
[19:50] <artturnip700> Would you say that Ubuntu 12.10 is worse than 12.04?
[19:50] <bobweaver> trism,  a good old preinst should fix that ?
[19:50]  * bobweaver looks at package 
[19:51] <GandalfB> ok- the bug / issue dosn't mean much to me :S
[19:52] <trism> bobweaver: the problem is in quantal linux-headers-3.5.0-17 is installed by default, which provides linux-headers so satisfies the dep, but it doesn't also have the arch dependent headers
[19:52] <trism> bobweaver: i think it is partially a problem with the iso since I see no point in having the arch independent headers installed by default with the arch dep ones
[19:53] <crackerjackz> brb gotta run to the store before they close
[19:53] <bobweaver> trism,  can Build Depends have things like linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[19:53] <GandalfB> Trism, ok - I've found were I broke it.   it was in the software sources dialogbox, under additonal drivers, I changed the driver for the nvidia card
[19:53] <newbie211> Any soul here....?
[19:55] <trism> bobweaver: no, see comment #7 of the bug
[19:57] <trism> GandalfB: yeah it is unfortunately a bit buggy, but as long as you have linux-headers-generic install you should be good from now on
[19:57] <bobweaver> trism,  yeah that is a problem lol
[19:57]  * Evil_Eric waves towards trism
[19:58] <trism> Evil_Eric: hi there
[19:58] <v0lksman> has anyone had problems using the i350 intel ethernet adapter with 12.04?
[19:58] <v0lksman> I can't seem to get it to link (not a problem on the remote side of the wire)
[19:58] <Evil_Eric> trism, hey there hows things going
[19:58] <v0lksman> in fact it links UNTIL ubuntu takes over the hardware...
[19:59] <GandalfB> Trism,  ok can  I quickly paraphrase the problem / soultion to see if I have learned correctly.
[20:01] <kmels_> hi, does someone know the command line for the Disk Analyzer Utility? this one: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/check-your-disk-usage-on-ubuntu-with-disk-usage-analyzer/
[20:01] <GandalfB> Trism, Bobweaver.  so if I've understood this correctly,  when I changed the drivers in the software sources dialog, it tried to install the new packages,  these were dependant on linux-headers and linux-headers-generic, from reading, linux-headers-generic is not correctly installed in 12.10 distro, so by getting and isntalling those we corrected the issue.    Bobweaver used lsmod and lspci to identify that I
[20:01] <GandalfB>  had nvidia card, but the modual (driver) not correctly loaded.
[20:01] <GandalfB> Trism, Bobweaver, is that roughly right?
[20:02] <bobweaver> kinda GandalfB  because headers where not installed dkms could not install nvidia-current it is all in the bug that trism posted above
[20:02] <DJones> kmels_: Try baobab That brings up disc usage analyser
[20:03] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, thanks, not bad amount learnt for my second day on linux :)  Thanks all - got to dash and eat some dinner!
[20:04] <kmels_> DJones, thank you, that was the one!

[20:14] <tomshreds> Hi, I'm installed a web server using tasksel install mail-server. But now I want to setup mail forwards. I don't even know which config to edit, it installed postfix, dovecot, etc...
[20:15] <theadmin> dr_willis: Don't think WeeChat has one
[20:15] <dr_willis> Eat 4 chocklet chip cookies and a glass of milk, and if you are still alive, call me in the morning. newbie211
[20:15] <tomshreds> Could someone tell me how I could properly make forwards like me@mydomain.com to toto@gmail.com, hehe@live.com ? please
[20:15] <dr_willis> theadmin:  yea. Im getting SO used to how android works that i actually miss the word suggestion feature. ;)
[20:15] <newbie211> he he he he he he he
[20:15] <dr_willis> theadmin:  i wonder how one could impliment that on Ubuntu
[20:16] <dcherniv> tomshreds, read up on postfix config, shouldnt be too dificult
[20:16] <theadmin> dr_willis: I've seen apps that do it on Windows so it should be possible
[20:16] <dr_willis> theadmin:  yea. just not sure how it work along with my terminal ;) guess it could be made part of the global menu feature to show suggestions in the top panel area
[20:17] <dr_willis> but it would be better if it was near whever you were typing ;P  to the BrainStorm site!
[20:17] <tomshreds> I thought I could setup a /etc/postfix/virtual.db but it says error: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: Invalid argument

[20:18] <stobix> yo. how on earth do I change the terminal keyboard layout? As a normal user, loadkeys isn't allowed to do stuff, as super user, loadkeys can't find the keymaps!
[20:19] <Rmblr> within X?
[20:19] <stobix> nope
[20:19] <Rmblr> setxkbmap
[20:19] <tomshreds> dcherniv: thanks :)
[20:19] <stobix> Rmblr: terminals, not emulators. :)
[20:19] <Rmblr> on a real terminal, loadkeys should work
[20:20] <dcherniv> stobix, or udev
[20:20] <stobix> Rmblr: indeed it should. I've never encountered this before the ubuntu switch of mine.
[20:20] <dcherniv> stobix, /etc/default/keyboard
[20:20] <stobix> dcherniv: oh, good.
[20:21] <newbie211> Is there any institute that teaches Ubuntu/Linux for sake...in India...?
[20:22] <theadmin> newbie211: Why the heck would you need an "insitute" to teach you? You can pretty much learn it by clicking around :/
[20:22] <stobix> dcherniv: ehm. Do you say that ubuntu has it set up so that xorg manages terminals?
[20:22] <stobix> ah, nevermind. sloppy reader.
[20:22] <dcherniv> stobix, udev not xorg
[20:23] <newbie211> I need to attend a class cause thats the best way to learn...
[20:23] <stobix> dcherniv: Ah, nice, I got it. I foolishly read half of /etc/default/keyboard before coming back here screaming nonsense.
[20:24] <newbie211> I need a teacher with a cane in his hand and spectacles on his nose....
[20:25] <bobweaver> newbie211,  there is Ubuntu Classroom if that helps at all

[20:30] <newbie211> Can I play IL2 sturmovik in Ubuntu...?
[20:30] <newbie211> I am a great fan of te game...

[20:31] <dcherniv> !wine
[20:32] <jarco> Hello people. I just installed ubuntu 12.10. Its working ok with the basic graphics driver on my radeon hd5830. The only thing is that the fan is running at a high speed all the time. Any solutions for this?
[20:32] <newbie211> Yeah heard of that
[20:33] <adknight87__> jarco: solution would be to disable acpi
[20:33] <newbie211> Will it run all the games ...smoothly even 3d games...and high end ones...? I am not interested in tetris type games
[20:34] <dcherniv> newbie211, it usually has no problem running games 1-2 years old. runs civilization 4 just fine here
[20:35] <jarco> adknight87__, will that have other disadvantages on my system (desktop). I read via google it has something to do with power managment
[20:35] <theadmin> jarco: I wouldn't worry about that, sure it's noisy but eh
[20:35] <theadmin> I have this "problem" and it doesn't cause me much discomfort
[20:35] <adknight87__> jarco: having the fan on isn't something to be worried about
[20:35] <jarco> theadmin, its Too noisy I sleep in this room
[20:36] <theadmin> jarco: Power the machine down?
[20:36] <jarco> theadmin, NEVER!
[20:36] <jarco> I run sickbeard etc at night
[20:36] <jarco> adknight87__, I meant is it a problem to disable acpi?
[20:37] <adknight87__> jarco: Lets say it's definitely not able to cool itself down
[20:38] <theadmin> jarco: You can change the settings in /etc/sensors3.conf and run "sudo sensors -s", but I can't read any of the madness in there
[20:38] <stobix_> haha, loadkeys is a BITCH on ubuntu. Why, yes, I would like a keymap where each keys is a 113 line definition!
[20:38] <jarco> I just want the noise to go down. With the old system (12.04) i installed the amd drivers to solve it. But when i do that now the unity interface isnt loaded
[20:39] <newbie211> OK thanks for the links ...I will try and give Ubuntu a GO...
[20:42] <g3ntek> hello everyone
[20:42] <theadmin> !info libfaac0 precise
[20:42] <g3ntek> who can help me on installing VideoCard drivers Nvidia 640M  Linux ubuntu 12.10 ? :)
[20:43] <jarco> is this a good solution fot the problem i mentioned earlyer? http://askubuntu.com/questions/207741/fan-speed-in-12-10-too-loud
[20:43] <theadmin> g3ntek: Just open the "additional drivers" utility that comes with Ubuntu
[20:45] <schultza> is there a chat channel for !wine that i can get into?
[20:45] <g3ntek> theadmin, how can i find that add drivers? on 12.10 ?
[20:46] <theadmin> g3ntek: Hit the Super key and type "drivers" in, it'll show up
[20:46] <theadmin> schultza: #winehq
[20:46] <g3ntek> theadmin, not found
[20:47] <theadmin> g3ntek: Eh... "gksudo jockey-gtk" from terminal
[20:48] <g3ntek> theadmin,  yea i did it from terminal but nothing happend
[20:49] <dr_willis> g3ntek:  on 12.04 or 12.10 ?
[20:49] <g3ntek> dr_willis, 12.10
[20:49] <dr_willis> in 12.10 - its under the Software-sources manager tool in a tab
[20:50] <theadmin> Oh wow, crazy place to put it
[20:50] <jarco> Guys I solved my problem. Thanks for trying to help me
[20:50] <dr_willis> they should have made a link from jockey-gtk to call that softare-sources tool and select the rght tab. ;)
[20:50] <g3ntek> dr_willis, yea i found it thanks but there aren't any founded drivers for me ? :(
[20:51] <g3ntek> dr_willis, how can install Nvidia driver?
[20:51] <dr_willis> g3ntek:  you could just try installing the nvidia-current package and see if it works
[20:51] <dr_willis> thats all i ever really do. ;)  'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' then reboot
[20:51] <g3ntek> on 12.04 u doing that? or 12.10 ?
[20:51] <theadmin> dr_willis: Aren't you supposed to do some madness with "nvidia-xconfig"?
[20:52] <dr_willis> theadmin:  in 12.10 i dont enve need to run nvidia-settings to get twinview working by default. ;)
[20:52] <g3ntek> dr_willis,  after running nvidia-xconfig from terminal im rebooting and my resolutions limits to 640 max..
[20:52] <theadmin> dr_willis: Crazy computers.
[20:52] <g3ntek> 640x480
[20:53] <g3ntek> dr_willis,  then why 12.10 my resolution after installing limits on 640x480
[20:55] <riqdiiz> How do you run a script in terminal?
[20:56] <jilebedev> Hi there. I'm attempting to change the uid of a user. I'm using `usermod -u newuid username` to do this: this errors with "User username is currently logged in". However, `who -a` does not report the user logged in, and `ps aux | grep username` returns nothing. Any ideas?
[20:59] <b4ch> Hey
[20:59] <guntbert> jilebedev: I never tried that, why do you want to do it?
[20:59] <b4ch> where is /etc/inittab ? or where do we now set ~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin in 12.04 ?
[21:00] <sweet_kid> riqdiiz: chmod 700 <scriptname> followed by ./<scriptname>
[21:00] <bekks> b4ch: There isno inittab anymore since upstart.
[21:00] <stobix> riqdiiz: do you have the script in a file?
[21:01] <b4ch> and single authentication setting is where?
[21:01] <b4ch> it used to be in /etc/initta
[21:01] <b4ch> b
[21:01] <stobix> jilebedev: brute force change the uid in the /etc/passwd /etc/group and so on?

[21:06] <tqrst> SolarisBoy: for a good time?
[21:06] <Consty> Can anyone explain to me why in ubuntu, a game would require the GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode extension, yet it doesn't show up on any glxinfo I've seen? I see GL_EXT_texture_sRGB, but not with _decode. Are the extensions the same?
[21:06] <SolarisBoy> lol
[21:11] <dr_willis> tqrst:  thats most likely not a good idea to mix release packages.
[21:11] <dr_willis> tqrst:  safer would be to find a ppa, or use source
[21:11] <stobix> hm. How can I make the kernel NOT dump out dmesg-like messages on my current virtual (non-X) console (whichever one is current at the moment)?
[21:12] <genii-around> stobix: What sort of messages are appearing?
[21:12] <dr_willis> stobix:  see the following file... for low level messages flooding the console (first setting)
[21:12] <dr_willis> # /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables
[21:12] <dr_willis> # See /etc/sysctl.d/ for additional system variables
[21:12] <tqrst> dr_willis: guess I'll go for wandisco's ppa instead then, thanks

[21:12] <dr_willis> I had some flakey hardware that was making the kernel constantly spit out messages. had to fix it  by uncommenting a line for low level messages
[21:13] <dr_willis> my consoles were totally unuseable due to the messages comming in
[21:13] <stobix> dr_willis: ah, nice. I'll look into it.
[21:13] <genii-around> Ah, ethernet adapter warnings
[21:13] <stobix> Yep.
[21:13] <dr_willis> gotta love laptops with flakey webcams
[21:13] <dr_willis> if i smacked the laptop hard. the cam would work. :) till i shut the lid.
[21:13] <stobix> aah, so that's what my "adapter" was...
[21:13] <genii-around> dr_willis: I had same but with ums_realtek driver for card reader :-/

Note the server is on its own hard disk so I have to find instructions and print them then power down and swap hard drives. Thank you.
[21:18] <guntbert> arnsa: please keept to the topic of this channel: ubuntu support
[21:18] <anteaya> So I am looking for assistance finding instructions to connect ubuntu server 12.04 to the internet via ethernet.
[21:19] <dr_willis> anteaya:  what sort of network card?
[21:19] <anteaya> dr_willis: I don't know, how can I find out?
[21:19] <g105b> How do I find the model name of my laptop? There's a fix I need to do to get the backlit keyboard working, but it has differnt instructions depending on a minor model number difference
[21:19] <dr_willis> wired ethernet should just be plug and go.. unless its some weird NIC. or other unusual connection
[21:19] <anteaya> dr_willis: I assume that is the hardware which will be accessible from this OS?
[21:19] <dr_willis> g105b:  sticker on the bottom perhaps?
[21:20] <dr_willis> lspci command shows most devices
[21:20] <dr_willis> lspci | grep  net
[21:20] <dr_willis> or Net ;)

[21:21] <dr_willis> Your server has a wireless card?
[21:21] <anteaya> dr_willis: I am operating out of my laptop
[21:21] <anteaya> dr_willis: setting up a development env for openstack, need to use a server under it
[21:22] <anteaya> dr_willis: swapping hard drives on my laptop
[21:22] <dr_willis> theres wireless command/tools to configure wireless via the cli. ive not used them in ages
[21:22] <g105b> thanks dr_willis
[21:22] <anteaya> dr_willis: can I use eth0?
[21:23] <dr_willis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1124503   Setting up wireless on Ubuntu Server
[21:23] <dr_willis> eth0? you just said you were using wireless...
[21:23] <anteaya> dr_willis: my ethernet connection requires a username and password from me, which I couldn't figure out how to enter during installation
[21:23] <anteaya> dr_willis: I have both, my card has both, does it not?
[21:23] <dr_willis> anteaya:  if it needs info from a browser window/session to connect. theres command line browsers like lynx and w3m
[21:24] <theadmin> dr_willis: (s)he's probably talking about a VPN of some form
[21:24] <dr_willis> anteaya:  if you can run a wire.. then it should just work.. unless you got some weird connection
[21:24] <anteaya> dr_willis: I just returned the results of lpsci | grep Net
[21:24] <anteaya> theadmin: I am not using VPN
[21:24] <theadmin> anteaya: Well, your wired connection needs a name/password... PPPoE?
[21:25] <nyl> can someone tell me what is the cause that the latest nvidia drivers crash unity?
[21:25] <dr_willis> bbl.. off to the store.
[21:25] <anteaya> theadmin: yes, I enter my username and password to connect to my ISP
[21:25] <anteaya> dr_willis: thank you
[21:25] <dr_willis> anteaya:  how is your wireless connecting to the internet? a router?
[21:26] <dr_willis> or your isp has some special hardware/devices?
[21:26] <anteaya> dr_willis: If I use wireless, I take my ethernet wire and stick it in my wireless router
[21:27] <dr_willis> so your isp provided some special router that connects HOW to their service?
[21:27] <anteaya> dr_willis: If I am not using wireless, I take the ethernet cable that runs from my dsl modem and put it in the port in my laptop
[21:27] <dr_willis> DSL... ok. now we are getting some facts. ;)
[21:27] <peepsalot> hi, i upgraded to quantal yesterday and today when i loaded a youtube video in firefox it asks if i want to" install youtube"  what is this even talking about
[21:27] <anteaya> dr_willis: sorry, I am trying, I am giving you the best info I have and am willing to find better info
[21:28] <dr_willis> anteaya:  my routers let me plug a wire from the PC.. into the ROUTER -> then into my ISPS box.

[21:43] <bearlockhomes> I'm having an issue with a usb-vga graphics connection in 12.10 and was wondering if anyone would be able to help?
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: does it show in the output of:  sudo lshw -C display
[21:45] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: no. but it is identified for lsusb
[21:46] <bearlockhomes> much of the issue is summarized here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1050566, but it stands unresolved
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: cool, any results online for the 8 character hex ID?
[21:46]  * Evil_Eric waves in ActionParsnip's general direction
[21:47] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: 0711:5100
[21:47] <john__> wishiwash oh crap
[21:48] <arnsa> How can I check if there's a new version of a program and if there's, I'd update it through terminal?
[21:48] <nyl> manually installed nvidia drivers
[21:48] <nyl> hope it works now
[21:48] <nyl> o.o
[21:49] <yeats> arnsa: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' will upgrade you to the latest versions of all packages
[21:49] <yeats> "latest" = "latest within a given release"
[21:50] <designbybeck> I have a 4GB jumpdrive that is corrupt but I can't change or delete the partition? :http://www.pasteall.org/37428
[21:50] <xrs1> if you want newer that what's in the repo, download from developer's site and manually install
[21:50] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: One point that I noted in the bug report was that the ID needed to be added to the driver table under sisusb_table, but I'm not sure how that is done. Any ideas?
[21:50] <nyl> manual drivers work loololololololool
[21:50] <designbybeck> That is the error I get
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: seems to use the sisusbvga driver
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: you may need an xorg.conf to make it fly
[21:51] <simplew> i run "sudo init 3" and nothing happens, why?
[21:51] <xrs1> designbybeck,  try installing and running testdisk
[21:52] <designbybeck> xrs1 should "Disks" within 12.10 allow me to format it/fix it?
[21:52] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: That was alluded to in much older versions (circa 9.10) with the same issue but figured enough of xorg had updated through 12.10 for that to not be necessary.
[21:52] <jamescarr> am I misreading the free output here?
[21:52] <xrs1> don't have anything called "Disks" in my 12.10 distro
[21:52] <designbybeck> xrs1:  I don't care about the content I just want to format it so I can try a new Distro
[21:53] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try. Just as a refresh xorg conf should go in the dir /etc/x11/xorg.conf?
[21:53] <xrs1> testdisk should fix whats wrong

[21:53] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: xorg.conf can be necessary, if one xists it wil be obeyed
[21:54] <genii-around> designbybeck: Or just sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=512 count=1
[21:54] <xrs1> gparted doesnt work?
[21:54] <Laruk> hello
[21:55] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: Sounds good. Thank you for your time.
[21:55] <genii-around> designbybeck: ( will wipe just the MBR so gparted thinks it's unpartitioned )
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: is the system a laptop?
[21:55] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: genii-around: Wiping the MBR won't remove the GPT signatures.
[21:56] <designbybeck> genii-around:  Jordan_U how do I see which my USB is mounted as?
[21:56] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: yes, thinkpad t500 ATI radeon
[21:56] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: "mount"
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: makes sense then
[21:56] <designbybeck> wow Jordan_U simple! I didn't know that would display that! where has that command been the past 4 years!
[21:56] <designbybeck> ha
[21:57] <genii-around> Jordan_U: Ah, interesting. I don't have any GPT stuff yet, not overly familiar.
[21:57] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: could you elaborate? Is there something related to lenovo drivers?
[21:58] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: I would recommend using "fixparts" (from the gdisk package) to remove the GPT signatures. Then parted will be happy and you can do whatever you want from there.
[21:58] <designbybeck> hmm I see /dev/sda1 but isn't that my harddrive?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> bearlockhomes: i was just going to suggest a PCI video card if the system was a desktop
[21:58] <designbybeck> so I need to install gparted in 12.10 correct Jordan_U ?
[21:58] <designbybeck> doesn't seem to be installed by default
[21:59] <bearlockhomes> ActionParsnip: Gotcha. Thanks again.
[21:59] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: Yes (it comes in the LiveCD environment, but isn't in the installed system by default).
[22:00] <TommehM> How would I change the bitrate of a .FLAC file?
[22:01] <designbybeck> Thanks Jordan_U that worked
[22:02] <Jordan_U> TommehM: That's a somewhat odd request, given that flac is a lossless format (and reducing bitrate would almost certainly require loss of quality).
[22:02] <stobix> TommehM: Can you? I mean, flac is lossless, why would it have different bitrates?
[22:02] <WeThePeople> does this look ok?>>> http://imgh.us/hdd.png
[22:03] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: You're welcome.
[22:05] <_r00t_> WeThePeople: is that supposed to be an aligned ssd ?
[22:05] <WeThePeople> _r00t_, no its a hdd
[22:05] <WeThePeople> ide
[22:06] <WeThePeople> just wonderinf what that 1mb is doing at the front
[22:07] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: That is for alignment purposes. http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/advice.html
[22:07] <Flynsarmy> I'm on 12.10 on a dell xps 15z. When i boot my laptops touchpad and keyboard don't work, only external mouse/keyboard. ideas?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: are there bugs reported?
[22:08] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: a bit new to this, where do i search for the bugs?
[22:08] <xrs1> that 1MB is system reserved space (grub can have issues installing without it)
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: did you follow this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: seems the touchpad needs a little tweak in config files to work
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: have you used that link before?
[22:10] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: in 12.04 i had to use acpi=noirq boot option. in 12.10 if i use that it won't boot, if i don't use that it boots but only external mouse/keybaord work. and yes, i've used that link beore
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: did you use the trackpad fix?
[22:10] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: yes, it worked in 12.04 but not in 12.10. i think it's a diff issue
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: did you do all the group messing around and installing bumblebee etc?
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131246/problem-with-ubuntu-12-04-dell-xps-15z-keyboard-trackpad-graphic-card   seems to offer a different boot option
[22:13] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll give both a try
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: could just reinstall Precise if it is known to work
[22:14] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: this is a brand new precise install :)
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: then its 12.04, not 12.10
[22:18] <ub_libr1> hello. i try to activate vaapi on a laptop with intel 4500MHD. when i execute vainfo, i only get two profiles: VAProfileMPEG2Simple and VAProfileMPEG2Main. how to get the h264 profiles as well?
[22:19] <zymaster> Hey quick question I have ubuntu server and I am encountering a problem with my ip address. It is set to static but like once every now and then it changes and my port forwarding breaks, If I reset the network interfaces it gets the right ip address and works until it changes again. any idea what might cause this?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> ub_libr1: there is a post on webupd8 about that sort of thing that I saw today, may be related
[22:20] <ub_libr1> @ActionParsnip: thx
[22:23] <zorael> How are sudo sessions tracked and managed? (If I elevate to sudo in a terminal session, is it [academically] possible to hijack the sudo "cookie" in another and get root access?)
[22:25] <Plornt> Hey did a quick search on Google, didnt find any actual fixes just a lot of complaints. Basically Im trying to run Ubuntu 12.10 on a AMD Phenom II X4 3.6Ghz, 7970 3GB, 32 GB Ram and on an SSD but its going unbarably slow. It doesnt register clicks on programs unless they are already in focus and sometimes decides to ignore them and eventually after about 10 minutes the fans in my PC are going crazy and it
[22:25] <Plornt>  crashes
[22:26] <Plornt> just wondering what it could be? New to the new Ubuntu, havent tried running linux in about 3 years so not sure where to look for any errors
[22:26] <Plornt> I cant start up any programs as its really really laggy
[22:26] <Rouge1080i> interesting
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: did you install the proprietary video driver?
[22:27] <matlock> so
[22:27] <Plornt> No
[22:27] <Plornt> I literally just installed it
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: tht'll be why then
[22:27] <Plornt> about 20 mins ago
[22:27] <Plornt> ah
[22:27] <matlock> you know how you open a terminal, and you enter a command, and it pops down a line...
[22:27] <Plornt> I cant run anything though
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: also get fully updated
[22:27] <matlock> i want that to happen but in reverse
[22:28] <matlock> i want the prompt to move up a line instead of down
[22:28] <Plornt> Its literally too slow to do anything
[22:28] <Plornt> its as if I was running on a 20 year old machine running XP
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: sure you can, press CTRL+ALT+T and in the terminal run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:28] <matlock> example, say you enter a command like sudo apt-get update
[22:28] <Plornt> Ah
[22:28] <matlock> and the lines move up as the next command is run at the bottom
[22:28] <Plornt> Ill write those down and give it another try
[22:29] <matlock> well i want the lines to move down as the next command is run at the top
[22:29] <Plornt> Thank you
[22:29] <matlock> is that possible?
[22:30] <matlock> does anyone even understand what i'm asking?
[22:30] <Plornt> I understand just dont know the answer :P
[22:30] <matlock> lol
[22:30] <matlock> debian says nope. not without writing a shell, i'll ask in #linux
[22:31] <auronandace> matlock: not sure why you'd want that
[22:31] <matlock> for s's and g's
[22:33] <cba123> Does anyone know of a good fileindexing program, similar to beagle or tracker?  I'm looking at Pinot, but I was wondering if there were others that people liked.
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> matlock: yes, the sudo timeout is managed by the system somewhere
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> matlock: i'm not sure where but i know what you mean
[22:33] <matlock> ...
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> matlock: not something I've really considered
[22:34] <matlock> :|   are you sure you're understanding me ?
[22:34] <gusta157> sudo just needs to save a file like /tmp/XX-authenticated. No biggie.
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> matlock: as far as I know, yes
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: can it be captured though?
[22:35] <matlock> ActionParsnip, i'm asking if there's anyway for the terminal to scroll up instead of down.
[22:35] <matlock> to put it short and vague
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> matlock: hold shift and ctrl and pgup should work if memory serves
[22:36] <matlock> :|
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> matlock: its some combo of ctrl/alt/shift
[22:36] <stobix> matlock: that'd be cool. I don't know of any terminal that does it, though. :/
[22:36] <matlock> no, no no.  l
[22:37] <matlock> there stobix has it
[22:37] <matlock> a terminal that outputs backwards
[22:37] <matlock> basically
[22:37] <stobix> matlock: you should make it go right to left while you're at it. ;)
[22:37] <matlock> only not backwards in ltr rtl,   i want my prompt to start at the bottom and move up
[22:37] <gusta157> matlock: Try writing on ONE line, not 10.
[22:38] <matlock> gusta157, sorry, it's a habit that's hard to break.
[22:38] <gusta157> matlock: I know but anyway. It's hard to read. So much text wizzing by.
[22:38] <stobix> better that than Instant Wall Of Text, I'd say
[22:39] <OerHeks> matlock, you can, it is called natural scrolling, there is a ppa for it ( not in standard repo's)  https://launchpad.net/~zedtux/+archive/naturalscrolling  found @ http://shuffleos.com/4156/how-to-install-natural-scrolling-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> matlock: oh so tyhe latest outputs are at the top
[22:39] <matlock> yeaaaaa
[22:39] <stobix> hah, cute that they call it "natural" scrolling
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: the default terminal scrolls up when commands are ran, matlock wants one where commanmds are typed at the top and the results scoll down
[22:40] <matlock> ActionParsnip, yes.
[22:40] <gusta157> stobix: 1+1=3.
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> stobix: its half makes sense
[22:41] <stobix> gusta157: lastlog is your friend. and 2+2=4. ;þ
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> matlock: http://serverfault.com/questions/152310/reverse-bash-console-text-flow
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: ^
[22:42] <stobix> ActionParsnip: whose half was that now again? ;)
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> stobix: well, if you put your finger on a piece of paper with text on and push it UP, the text scrolls DOWN
[22:43] <OerHeks> oh i thought i understand this is what matlock wanted.
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: yeah took me a while too, its a tricky one to explain
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> stobix: i guess its for those weirdos who use 'invetrt mouse' in FPS :)
[22:44] <stobix> ActionParsnip: If I move my finger around on a piece of paper, regardless of whether the paper is still or not, there is no scrolling involved in any way whatsoever.
[22:45] <stobix> ActionParsnip: haha, yes. :)
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> stobix: if you had a static viewing area with the paper moving within it, youu'd see it
[22:46] <stobix> ActionParsnip: actually, my dad was like that. He thought of the mouse like a rudder from a boat, imagining an fixation point for the axis from the mouse to the pointer
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> stobix: horses for courses etc
[22:47]  * stobix has no idea what that meant, but nods agreeingly, hoping that noone will notice.
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> stobix: its a saying
[22:47] <stobix> Well, that part I got... :)
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> stobix: translates to, different people like different things
[22:48] <stobix> Heh, why not. :)
[22:48]  * stobix levels up.
[22:48] <gusta157> HAHAHAHA.
[22:48] <Toph2> my ubuntu 12.04 regularly crashes,, is there a log somewhere I can tell what is happening?
[22:48] <armenzg_brb> I'm trying to create a live USB from Mac OSX 10.8 by running this
[22:48] <armenzg_brb> sudo dd if=/Users/armenzg/Downloads/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.img.dmg of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
[22:49] <armenzg> so far I'm getting this: dd: /dev/rdiskN: Operation not supported
[22:49] <armenzg> any ideas?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: does mac os use sudo?
[22:49] <armenzg> I'm not sure
[22:49] <adknight87__> armenzg: It's not supported as it states the obvious
[22:49] <armenzg> I think so
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: i'd check in an mac channel, also check the device name you use
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: why not just use unetbootin?
[22:50] <armenzg> ActionParsnip: what is that?
[22:50] <armenzg> I would like to install Ubuntu on VirtualManager ftr
[22:50] <gusta157> armenzg: Have you substituted the N when you run the command?
[22:50] <armenzg> *VirtualBox
[22:50] <adknight87__> armenzg: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[22:51] <matlock> hmm... natural scrolling is reverse scrolling
[22:51] <stobix> Does ubuntu have any command that makes my graphics card a better one so I can play minecraft again? </lament>
[22:51] <Plornt> Cannot send to channel o.o
[22:51] <armenzg> adknight87__: step 8 was not very clear if I had to replace N
[22:51] <Plornt> Back again
[22:51] <armenzg> I'm trying now with N=2
[22:51] <matlock> like you bring the wheel up and the page moves opposite than that which normal people use
[22:51] <adknight87__> Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2).
[22:51] <armenzg> I don't get the same result
[22:51] <adknight87__> It's very clear
[22:51] <armenzg> it is waiting
[22:51] <adknight87__> you are using "Disk2" so n would be 2
[22:52] <adknight87__> as an example
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: instead of asking, why not search the web....
[22:52] <armenzg> on step 7 it is specified explicitely by saying "(replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)."
[22:52] <armenzg> this sounds like a welcoming place
[22:52] <Plornt> I cant remember the name of who I was speaking to previously but basically the commands worked and did what they did but its still slow :( Im on Ubuntu now and its noticiably faster but things still are not responding to clicks and typing is sorta lagging behind.
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: well, it frees people up to help others now you have been given a little direction
[22:53] <adknight87__> amenzg: MEANS that the disk that's you want as a live disk would be the one to choose
[22:53] <Plornt> programs dont open properly either
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: if we had to spoonfeed everyone everything we'd never get anything done. Try some initiative
[22:53] <Plornt> by that I mean they dont have "focus" and I cant click to use them
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: sup ;)
[22:54] <armenzg> I was going to offer fixing the docs to be more explicit
[22:54] <Plornt> Ah thought it was you :P
[22:54] <adknight87__> EXAMPLE: Disk2 =unmountDisk /dev/disk2
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> have you installed the propriatary video driver yet?
[22:54] <armenzg> there are better ways to suggest initiative
[22:54] <armenzg> nvm
[22:54] <Plornt> Oh I thought they was commands that do that automatically :P I see. Ill do it now
[22:54] <adknight87__> armenzg: read it over clearly
[22:54] <Plornt> was the*
[22:55] <GandalfB> does anyone mind if I ask noob networking question quickly, as I'm struggling to setup port forwarding.
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX   then links to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick  which has a link to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> !ati | Plornt
[22:55] <adknight87__> Gandalfb: on where what?
[22:56] <blackshirt> hello, how we check if linux container successfully running ?
[22:56] <armenzg> I will look into that
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> armenzg: its all available to you online..
[22:57] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: can you help me guys ?
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: ask and see :)
[22:57] <gusta157> When is the new nVidia driver coming out?
[22:57] <adknight87__> Actionparsnip: I feel like scotty first coming to view the Enterprise
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: ask nvidia
[22:57] <GandalfB> adknight87_,  just a quick one,  I have virgin media router,  with forwarding setup on port 80 http traffic,  the computer that its being forwarded to is setting on netgear router/hub, that is daisychained of the virginmedia router.  Do I need to setup forwarding on netgear router as well? Or will it just act as a hub?
[22:57] <adknight87__> WOW I like this ship
[22:57] <Plornt> Oh god... cant click to open the thing
[22:57] <blackshirt> hello guys, how we check if linux container successfully running ?
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: ok i'll get the command
[22:57] <adknight87__> Forward too
[22:58] <gusta157> ActionParsnip: Are nVidia in charge of Ubuntu packages for their drivers?
[22:58] <GandalfB> adknight87_, I apperciate it's not a strictly a linux question, I'm just trying to get a http server going in linux, and I think this is my final hurdle
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle; sudo aticonfig --initial
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: no, but they make the driver
[22:58] <adknight87__> GandalfB: if you want the internet to see that one of your computers has a webserver on port 80 you have to forward that port for that ip of the host machine.
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: so ity can only be made by nvidia
[22:59] <Plornt> thank you :P
[22:59] <GandalfB> adknight87_, I've done that I think, do I need to do anything in linux to open that port also?
[22:59] <GandalfB> I'm using xampp and I've opened up httpd.xampp.conf so outside ips can see the content
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: http://www.itworld.com/software/306227/install-nvidia-beta-driver-31014-ubuntu-1210    you can get the beta driver
[23:00] <adknight87__> GandalfB: Then it's a matter of checking remotely and from the localhost itself.
[23:00] <vlad65> anyone know when steam will be 'open' beta?
[23:00] <gusta157> ActionParsnip: 130.19 has been released. But I think that driver will break bumblebee. But thanks anyway.
[23:00] <adknight87__> GandalfB: test from your own ip then so forth on the network
[23:01] <matlock> debian squeeze out
[23:02] <GandalfB> I can see it internally,  on differnt pc on the network, using ther external ip
[23:02] <GandalfB> but I think that might be the router looping back
[23:02] <KRomeleoN> im having trouble getting my secondary hdd to mount auto at boot using Disks
[23:02] <GandalfB> when I check on my mobile wirelessly, using 3g it times out
[23:03] <vlad65> I might die tomorrow and I need to know if anyone has a guesstimate on steams release.....
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> gusta157: bumblebee is a mess imho, best avoided
[23:03] <adknight87__> GandalfB: what's the ip
[23:03] <bobweaver> vlad65,  steam is beta NOW
[23:03] <gusta157> ActionParsnip: I agree. But without it I don't get any 3D acceleration. The internal stuff is slow.
[23:03] <vlad65> closed beta as far as I know, when did it go beta?
[23:03] <GandalfB> 86.27.81.99
[23:03] <enriq> hi. I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my old notebook. it freezes booting at some io port probe, what can I do?
[23:03] <bobweaver> vlad65,  I got key last week
[23:03] <adknight87__> bibweaver: closed beta to 1000 people. But you can still get the deb
[23:04] <KRomeleoN> actionparsnip im having trouble getting my secondary hdd to mount auto at boot using Disks
[23:04] <KRomeleoN> can u help me bro?
[23:04] <vlad65> I downloaded the deb and installed, steam starts up then tells me it is closed beta only and shutsdown
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> KRomeleoN: tried adding it in /etc/fstab ?
[23:04] <adknight87__> GandalfB: I see it
[23:04] <KRomeleoN> what parameters?
[23:04] <bobweaver> vlad65,  you have read the wiki ?
[23:04] <adknight87__> GandalfB: 3G isn't exactly reliable
[23:05] <vlad65> no what did I miss
[23:05] <KRomeleoN> what parameters should i use on it?
[23:05] <adknight87__> !steam
[23:05] <GandalfB> adknight, you do.... the silly note to my gf?
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> vlad65: you need to start it with: steam steam://open/games
[23:05] <adknight87__> GandalfB I only pinged
[23:05] <GandalfB> is it forwarding port 80
[23:05] <almoxarife> KRomeleoN: look at the file /etc/mtab , see the partition you want to autoload at boot?
[23:05] <GandalfB> http traffic
[23:06] <bobweaver> vlad65,  you might like to read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> KRomeleoN: the number of possibilities is astronomical, so there is no single answer to 'what parameters'
[23:06] <GandalfB> as I supposed to be running a webserver on that ip
[23:06] <KRomeleoN> the disks app used to do it wasily
[23:07] <Plornt_> Ok it is much much faster now and less noisy
[23:07] <Plornt_> however
[23:07] <Plornt_> still got the issue of not being able to focus on programs
[23:07] <adknight87__> GandalfB: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the connection for incomming
[23:07] <vlad65> thanks dog
[23:07] <vlad65> worked
[23:07] <vlad65> amen
[23:08] <bobweaver> ?? vlad65
[23:08] <Plornt_> For example if I was to try and start a new download on firefox and the download window appeared I wouldnt be able to click anything on that window and it would "go through" to the window behind it
[23:08] <Plornt_> I also cant click any of the menu bar options like close maximise and minimise
[23:08] <Plornt_> really not got a clue why though
[23:09] <advisor> hello. i just wanted to express my gratitude to the people behind ubuntu. if it weren't for this distro, we very likely would have a lot less *nix'ers than we have today. mr. shuttleworth's contribution to the community is incredibly valuable, regardless of the limited reputation ubuntu has amongst other *nix'ers. thank you to pass this on to the responsibles, thank you for reading, thank you for your time. g'bye!
[23:12] <almoxarife> do 3g network just clobber network connectivity for the sake of cheap service?
[23:12] <dougmencken> help!!! Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct
[23:12] <adknight87__> almoxarife: I think it's safe to say they are not very big on 3G anymore
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[23:13] <dougmencken> ActionParsnip: sid
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: then its debian
[23:13] <dougmencken> (debian dudes banned me)
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: ask in #debian
[23:14] <dougmencken> (on all networks)
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: doesn't mean you can ask here
[23:14] <dougmencken> (even on oftc, etc.)
[23:14] <dougmencken> ah
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: i'd take it up in #freenode
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: about the ban
[23:14] <dougmencken> wow, cool
[23:14] <gusta157> Kafka...
[23:14] <Thisguy_> I can't enter Unicode characters with Ctrl+Shift+U anymore. Help!
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: why ar eyou running sid when you can't fix things like that?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: sid is the unstable...
[23:16] <dougmencken> ActionParsnip: I accidently did some overwrite operation while being root
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> dougmencken: i see
[23:16] <dougmencken> and I need help
[23:16] <ikonia> here is not the place sadly
[23:17] <enriq> why ubuntu 12.04 live cd works on my old notebook, and installing it does not?!
[23:17] <ikonia> enriq: what's the issue when you try to install ?
[23:17] <gusta157> dougmencken: Write down what happened while you're waiting on #debian.
[23:17] <shinobi> With gnome classic 12.04 I can't get the windows to roll-up. I used the gnome-tweak-tool to set double clicking the window to shade toggle, but it only maximizes... Is there a fix.
[23:17] <Thisguy_> I can no longer enter Unicode characters using Ctrl+Shift+U, what can I do to fix that?
[23:17] <enriq> ikonia, it installs ok but then no desktop appears (I choose autologin)
[23:17] <dougmencken> gusta157: I said that they don't care for me, and for powerpc architecture
[23:18] <ikonia> enriq: what do you get /
[23:18] <ikonia> dougmencken: can we please drop it in this channel please.
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> enriq: do you get web access in the liveCD?
[23:18] <yugi302> helo?
[23:18] <enriq> ikonia, sometimes a screen only background, sometimes a cursor
[23:18] <dougmencken> ikonia: no problem :)
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> hi yugi302
[23:18] <almoxarife> enriq: there are two install disks, the live and the full blown out no frills gui, the 'alternate' i believe, that one always works for me
[23:18] <ikonia> dougmencken: great, thank you
[23:19] <yugi302> can i get help with error in  terminal when i try to install a different desktop enviroment
[23:19] <ikonia> ericab: have you tried booting with safe graphics ?
[23:19] <enriq> ActionParsnip, yes I do have internet in the live cd
[23:19] <Thisguy_> yugi302: What error would that be, and what is the command you're installing the desktop environment by?
[23:19] <ikonia> oops, that was for enriq
[23:19] <yugi302> um hold on....
[23:19] <dougmencken> this is nice: $ ssh --help
[23:19] <dougmencken> You don't exist, go away!
[23:20] <yugi302> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop tried to install this
[23:20] <dougmencken> (I *need* ssh, and I can't even reinstall it)
[23:20] <ikonia> dougmencken: please, we are not interested in your debian system at this time
[23:20] <yugi302> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? then got this
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> enriq: befroe you run the installer, run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity gparted; sudo apt-get clean
[23:20] <enriq> ikonia, it used to say there is an error in the graphic config, I tried "low res only for this session" and nothing. But after that, it won't longer boot, it freezes cheching some pcmcia io ports
[23:20] <dougmencken> ikonia: okay, if your Ubuntu SSH is a lot different from Debian SSH... okay
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> yugi302: is software centre open, or are updated installing?
[23:20] <dougmencken> see you later maybe
[23:21] <ikonia> dougmencken: great, thanks, bye
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> yugi302: updates
[23:21] <unrar> You can restart the computer else
[23:21] <enriq> ActionParsnip, I boot with install cd, choose "try ubuntu" and then do all you say?
[23:21] <yugi302> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?   i tried the 2nd one then got this
[23:21] <ikonia> enriq: intersting
[23:22] <Thisguy_> Are you installing updates or new software, yugi?
[23:22] <yugi302> yea
[23:22] <yugi302> i have to w8 till its over?
[23:22] <Thisguy_> Yes. Sorry!
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> enriq: yes, the command upgrades the installer and partitioner apps. May help
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> yugi302: yes, only ONE app can access the packages at one time
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> yugi302: same with Windows installer :)
[23:23] <mneptok> dedis: ping. please see #ubuntu-ops. i think you have a ghost connection.
[23:23] <yugi302> ok srry im new to ubuntu
[23:23] <enriq> ActionParsnip, ok doing it
[23:23] <Thisguy_> It's fine honey, this is where everyone comes for help!
[23:23] <Chessur1> Hello , Everyone , I am having a trouble compiling my C code on Ubuntu 6.04 distro , when I type the compilation command cc code.c I get this message : bash: cc: command not found , is there an explanation for this?
[23:24] <Thisguy_> ActionParsnip: Got a minute to help me with Unicode character entry? My ctrl_shift+u bork'd
[23:24] <ikonia> 6.04 is long out of support
[23:24] <ms_daisy> are you seriously using Chessur1 ?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> Thisguy_: not had to mess with that stuff, sorry dude
[23:24] <Thisguy_> Aww, thanks anyway
[23:24] <dr_willis> you dont have teh developer/C stuff installed Chessur1 ...
[23:24] <enriq> ActionParsnip, the commands ran ok but it says nothing to do
[23:24] <yugi302> also sometimes my computer comes to a black screen with a lot of words,errors i assume,i usually hold button till its off,but what does that mean and am i supposed to do
[23:24] <Chessur1> ms_daisy: Yes.
[23:24] <enriq> ActionParsnip, i.e. gparted and ubiquity are last versions already
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> enriq: what video chip do you use?
[23:25] <Thisguy_> yugi302: Depends on when that happens and what the words are! When does it usually happen? Are you on a laptop/netbook?
[23:25] <enriq> ActionParsnip, an old nvidia
[23:25] <yugi302> yea alaptop
[23:25] <Chessur1> dr_willis: I tried something like sudo apt-get install build-essential but it did not work. what would you suggest?
[23:25] <Thisguy_> Perhaps it's overheating. Try Jupiter.
[23:25] <enriq> ActionParsnip, but I wonder why in hell the "try ubuntu" works!?!
[23:25] <yugi302> huh who jupiterwhays jupiter
[23:25] <gusta157> I bet it takes as much time to tell people something is unsupported as it takes to actually help them.
[23:25] <ikonia> gusta157: you bet wrong
[23:26] <Thisguy_> Jupiter helps laptops conserve energy and not heat up as fast. Is it hot when it blanks to the error screen?
[23:26] <yugi302> is it an app
[23:26] <Thisguy_> Yes, it is.
[23:26] <yugi302> at ubuntu software cente
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> enriq: try the boot option:  nouvea.blacklist=1
[23:26] <Thisguy_> It runs as a daemon but it isn't in the software center, I don't think. I installed it from a ppa.
[23:27] <enriq> ActionParsnip, where that?
[23:27] <yugi302> huh??
[23:27] <yugi302> ppa
[23:27] <Thisguy_> ...layman's terms, go to their website and run a couple commands.
[23:27] <Thisguy_> ppa means personal apt repo.
[23:27] <Thisguy_> It's not in the official Ubuntu program list.
[23:27] <yugi302> so how would i install jupiter
[23:28] <enriq> ActionParsnip, could it be related to language? I mean, try ubuntu is in english, I try to install in spanish... doesn't make sense but...
[23:28] <Thisguy_> You should go to their website for more into, try google to find them!
[23:28] <yugi302> google ppa?
[23:28] <Thisguy_> No, google Jupiter.
[23:28] <Thisguy_> A ppa is a location where apt-get can install programs from.
[23:28] <yugi302> oh ok srry
[23:28] <Thisguy_> Jupiter is a program! :P
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | enriq
[23:29] <Chessur1> I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some directions here.
[23:30] <yugi302> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/jupiter-light-weight-power-and-hardware-control-applet.html    i found this,but updates still rinning
[23:30] <yugi302> oh w8 there done :)
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> cheez0r: reinstall with Precise. 6.06 is so dead it's untrue
[23:30] <ms_daisy> Chessur1, you're using an antique operating system. I can't imagine you could compile much on it.
[23:31] <Chessur1> ms_daisy: We used to compile on worse than that , trust me lol.
[23:31] <Thisguy_> It may help with what I assume is your overheating issue.
[23:31] <Chessur1> ActionParsnip: Okay , how do I do that?
[23:31] <minotaure> hi I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and read a lot of about bumblebee not working on this version. Which tutorial should I follow ?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> cheez0r: same way you installed 6.06, just with a newer version. YOou can restore user data from your backups
[23:32] <Plornt> Hey again! >.<
[23:32] <SkyFall> How do I set my DNS to something else as in 8 8 8 8  in ubuntu ?
[23:32] <yugi302> my laptop never burned out on windows?
[23:32] <Plornt> Fixed my mouse issues using CTRL ALT F1 then CTRL ALT F7 somehow! Have to do it every time I restart though but now I am having this issue when trying to use multiple monitors :( http://i.imgur.com/R5oCa.png
[23:33] <Thisguy_> I've found Ubuntu to consume a little more power, but maybe it's not your problem.
[23:33] <Thisguy_> Like I said, is it hot when it crashes, yugi302?
[23:33] <yugi302> not really it has words i dont get and says what  i think means its trying to restart a program or try to resume
[23:34] <smacktalk> I'm trying to make qbittorrent my default program for torrents...anyone know how to do that?
[23:34] <almoxarife> SkyFall: use the network applet, drill down to 'dns' server, enter ip there
[23:34] <minotaure> hi I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and read a lot of about bumblebee not working on this version. Which tutorial should I follow ?
[23:35] <Thisguy_> Hmm, not sure how to help you there without knowing what exactly it says. Did you try google for some of the phrases it crashes and says?
[23:35] <Thisguy_> Google is your friend!
[23:36] <SkyFall> Almxarife it only has the option to add additional DNS servers ?
[23:36] <SkyFall> is that it ?
[23:36] <mutante> how important would you rate a kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-31-generic to 3.2.0-33-generic on precise on servers
[23:36] <almoxarife> SkyFall: yes, that is it
[23:36] <SkyFall> almoxarife ok, thank you.
[23:36] <mutante> do not obviously see if it is security related on the package page
[23:36] <bekks> mutante: depends on the changelog
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: you have a GUI app to configure displays, not that one
[23:37] <ms_daisy> keeping the kernel updated is definitely a security thing mutante
[23:37] <Plornt> Ohhh Catalyst control center
[23:37] <Plornt> I feel like a dumbass since these things dont just occur to me
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> mutante: when it is convenient (maintenance window etc), reboot the server and you will load the new kernel
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: you'll learn with time :)
[23:38] <mutante> ms_daisy: yea, i just need to prioritize it somehow and schedule those reboots caused by kernel upgrade as opposed as to other packages
[23:38] <mutante> ActionParsnip: sure, exactly what i am doing, just wondering if i do that before other pending things :p
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> Plornt: ati / amd drivers have come a long way :)
[23:39] <ms_daisy> you could use nessus for that mutante .
[23:39] <mutante> thanks all, i will just do it anyways on the side
[23:41] <martian742> is it normal my Lubuntu install has apps crashing quite often (with that new 12.04 LTS crash reporting pop-up window)? it's usually lxpanel, pcmanfm, but also bluetooth, etc..
[23:41] <martian742> my memtest has always shown no errors
[23:41] <Plornt> Thank you ActionParsnip :)
[23:41] <Tweikable> how do i got about getting a unafilliated Cloak
[23:42] <akama_> it's something freenode handles
[23:42] <ms_daisy> Tweikable, go to #freenode
[23:42] <akama_> ^
[23:42] <Thisguy_> Anybody know what to do if Unicode character entry with ctrl+shift+u stops working?
[23:46] <dr_willis> martian742:  or its just a crash log thats never getting cleared out.. you do see the apps crashing? or just seeing reports?
[23:47] <martian742> dr_willis: they crash, some ask for being restarted, some die and have to be re-run manually
[23:48] <martian742> dr_willis: it's disappeared for a few days now though
[23:48] <adknight87__> Who would have thought a loft bed was so hard to draw up
[23:49] <Liveware> I have some questions. I'm new to Linux and want to install it onto a Samsung N110 netbook.
[23:50] <Liveware> currently has Win XP on it. Ideally I want to remove everything and just have Linux on it. Clean hard drive and no windows if possible
[23:50] <Liveware> anyone able to help?
[23:50] <mutante> Liveware: it often works to really just search for that model and add prefix "linux on" and get detailed reports
[23:50] <mutante> like if there are issues with certain hardware components
[23:50] <dr_willis> Liveware:  thats doable.. but you sure you will never want xp on it?
[23:51] <Liveware> mutante: only stuff I've found is for running linux alongside win xp
[23:51] <dr_willis> Liveware:  you could do a full install to a flash drive and test it out that way
[23:51] <Liveware> dr_willis: yep, never
[23:51] <Liveware> dr_willis: its an old netbook I other wise never ever use
[23:51] <dr_willis> Liveware:  the installer has a dialog/question where it asks 'use the whole disk' you just say yes....
[23:51] <Liveware> hmmmm....
[23:52] <adknight87__> dr_willis is alive!
[23:52] <almoxarife> Liveware: i am dr_willis, dont toss xp yet, some file in the xp side wont run in linux, there is always one, install linux, wait a 6 month then toss windoz
[23:53] <mutante> Liveware: you can also use http://goodbye-microsoft.com/  it is a win32-loader.exe, can click it from XP let it do its thing, reboot
[23:53] <dr_willis> i clone the image of the hd from my netbooks to a file. just in case i ever want to restore
[23:54] <Liveware> If had linux installed alongside it for about 4 months. This netbook is an older machine I never use. Abandoned it 2 years ago. all useful data has been backed up and transferred ages ago
[23:54] <adknight87__> dr_willis what do you use to clone I have nothing bigger then a my laptops hard drive. Which is a staggering terabyte.
[23:54] <Liveware> hoping to breath new and actually useful life into it by installing linux
[23:54] <almoxarife> Liveware: in that case, go for it, overwrite the hs with linux
[23:55] <almoxarife> hd
[23:55] <dr_willis> i use dd and external usb hds ;)
[23:55] <dr_willis> Liveware:  you may want to use Lubuntu on it - if it has low specs.
[23:55] <Liveware> so normal desktop version or better to go with 'netbook remix'?
[23:55] <almoxarife> i use the google-drive, it will outlast me
[23:55] <mutante> Liveware: i guess maybe ideal would be to have the former Windows machine as a VM in the new Linux afterwards.. not sure with free software but vmware converter could do such things (convert physical to vm). then it is a handy "disk file" that can be moved around and started anywhere
[23:55] <dr_willis> Liveware:  there is no longer a netbook remix
[23:55] <mutante> but it is even more comfortable than multiboot
[23:56] <Liveware> ah okay. thanks :D
[23:56] <dr_willis> Liveware:  you should test with a live usb to be sure your networking/wireless is working also
[23:56] <dr_willis> unless you can go wired. in case it needs work. ;)
[23:56] <Liveware> dr_willis: its been working so far having it run alongside
[23:57] <dr_willis> or have a usb wifi dongle that works out of the box.
[23:57] <Liveware> whenever I boot into it it picks up the wifi instantly
[23:57] <dr_willis> Liveware:  if its allready isntalled. yo could just delete the windows partions.
[23:57] <dr_willis> unless you want to do a clean install.
[23:57] <Liveware> clean install ideally
[23:57] <dr_willis> go for it then. ;)
[23:57] <adknight87__> almoxarife: What do you do to make a virtual wifi on your laptop?
[23:58] <almoxarife> adknight87__: what do you mean? virt-wifi? use the host wifi? so confused
[23:59] <adknight87__> almoxarife: hostapd + dhcpd
