| Liveware | when I run wubi.exe to install it only lets me select either C drive or D drive (no option for whole HDD) and only lets me set installation size to 30gb max | 00:00 |

| dr_willis | wubi installs IN/ON the windows drives | 00:01 |
| blackshirt | liveware, you should one .... | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | make a live usb.. boot it.. tell it to use the whole hd = no moar windows | 00:01 |
| blackshirt | choose one | 00:01 |
| Liveware | bare with me :P I'm not this bad with most tech. just new to linux. | 00:01 |

| blackshirt | Liveware, wubi would make image file ..... | 00:02 |

| AlexNagy | first, my setup: Toshiba Satellite dual-booting Ubuntu 12.04LTS and FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-p4. doing pretty good over multiple shut-downs over the past week (including 6 with a custom kernel). I use GRUB as my bootloader. Last night I booted into Ubuntu to move some files onto an ext2 partition I use to move stuff between Ubuntu and FreeBSD. While moving those files I run the update manager (hadn't done so in a month, figured it was time, I also sp | 00:18 |
| AlexNagy | end most of my time on FreeBSD). After the updates, i could not boot into FreeBSD. it doesn't show up as an option in GRUB. | 00:18 |

| enriq | almoxarife, I can boot from the cd and "try ubuntu" | 00:21 |

| rafase282 | I'm downloading the server image fro arm | 00:21 |
| privateDlister | Hey guys. | 00:21 |
| rafase282 | hopefully I can just copy the rootfs there and the device will boot it like it does with archlinux-arm | 00:21 |
| privateDlister | So I installed gnome and the login screen is certainly not unity, however when I actually log in it goes back to exactly how it was before. | 00:22 |
| almoxarife | enriq: fine, the live works, the install does not, is there a 'alternate' iso for what you are wanting to install? that is my first option | 00:23 |
| adknight87 | privateDlister: you might have it set to use gdm | 00:23 |
| adknight87 | privateDlister: lightdm is the unity login | 00:23 |
| privateDlister | I figured it'd be something like that, but I dunno how. I chose the standard gdm when i installed gnome | 00:23 |
| enriq | almoxarife, same thing happens with 12.04 and 12.10 | 00:23 |
| almoxarife | enriq: tell me that happens with the 'alternate' and i will tell you to forget trying to install | 00:24 |
| adknight87 | privateDlister: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 00:25 |
| enriq | almoxarife, what is the "alternate" | 00:25 |
| AlexNagy | I'm not sure what went wrong or how to fix it at this time. | 00:25 |
| bazhang | almoxarife, the alternate is no more | 00:25 |
| adknight87 | Do I get brownie points for being here | 00:25 |
| privateDlister | adknight87: set it to GDM? | 00:25 |
| enriq | oh now it booted!? | 00:26 |
| adknight87 | privateDlister: lightdm | 00:26 |
| almoxarife | bazhang: really? would the net install resemble the alternate? | 00:26 |
| privateDlister | Feels weird this trying to get me to gnome... OK, I'll reboot and see what happens. | 00:26 |
| hilo | adknight87, how do I use this to control fan speeds? When I try to run the program "sudo /usr/sbin/fancontrol", it tosses back an error saying there is no configuration file. | 00:27 |
| Liveware | just to say thanks to almoxarife/dr_willis for helping out. My netbook is now happily installing Ubuntu instead of win XP and I cant wait to have a nice little back up machine :D | 00:28 |

| extropy | Isaban: why does it try to open it on a device that it should know is no longer connected. Also, why is it that when I close the update manager and re-open it the window comes up on my connect screen but when it automatically launches itself it opens up on the screen that doesn't exist? | 01:07 |
| extropy | that would suggest that it's launching using two separate configurations | 01:08 |
| extropy | or rather a predetermined configuration and then an automatic one, depending on circumstances | 01:09 |
| Isaban | hmmm, that's strange. I don't know why it is doing it. Did you install with a second monitor? | 01:09 |
| extropy | sure didn't, something tells me that the GPU itself might consider my VGA output secondary and my HDMI output as primary, perhaps? | 01:09 |
| Isaban | ya, that's possible | 01:10 |
| Isaban | look at the docs with the card | 01:10 |

| extropy | ah, maybe I'm thinking of my old GeForce 3 Deluxe, lol | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Ebay5150: remove the driver and install the nvidia-current package, you will use the 295 driver and it'll be ok | 01:15 |

| enriq | ActionParsnip, how to I blacklist for example yenta_socket.ko | 01:21 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: only 270mb of space... how far we have come | 01:21 |
| extropy | man, speaking of which, anyone minecrafters find a way to get Java to stop switching to my desktop in the heat of combat? it's insanely frustrating | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | enriq: echo "blacklist yenta_socket" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null | 01:22 |
| nydel | leogitimate: are you closing the active window with a keystroke? | 01:22 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: temp is moderatly improved at 59... but I think we can do better ;) | 01:22 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: well, more than moderate | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: hehe my Raring install is a little over 3Gb with full compiz / unity / Gnome / codecs and so on. | 01:23 |
| leogitimate | nydel: no, with the close button | 01:23 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: I have a second system(to replace this one) its a dual core on a solid state that is just under a gb | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: nice | 01:24 |
| rafase282 | I'm trying to get the rootfs from ubuntu server which is on a img file on my usb stick | 01:24 |
| leogitimate | after the app closes, it appears to be still active on the panel | 01:24 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: brutally it's 2x faster than any of the ones in the office b/c of the ssd | 01:24 |
| rafase282 | I try to mount it to copy the content but im having trouble mounting it | 01:24 |
| oldmankdude | quick question: why isn't a kernel being installed in /boot when i run "apt-get install linux-image" ? | 01:24 |
| egal | how to make software raid in 12.10? | 01:24 |
| leogitimate | although i see via conky that the application is no longer running | 01:24 |
| oldmankdude | and/or update-grub ? | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: I'm trying to make the OS load fully to ram on boot, then recreate the squashfs file on shutdown. Faster than any SSD :) | 01:25 |
| enriq | ActionParsnip, cheers | 01:25 |
| nydel | leogitimate: try closing it, pressing "escape" on keyboard then switching workspace with the normal hotkeys, tell me if that works please. & have you tried this with multiple applications or only one in particular? | 01:25 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: price of ram I think that's a noble endeavor | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: plus moving web cache to RAM also reduces wear | 01:25 |
| tyler_d | tyler_d: what are you using for ram management? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: thats why I'm trying. Its hard. Boot times will be AGES but the OS will scream along | 01:26 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: brb, going in on xfce | 01:26 |
| extropy | anyone else have problems with keyboard and mouse input in Java guis? | 01:26 |
| extropy | I think it's an OpenJDK problem, maybe I should ask there | 01:26 |
| egal | extropy: my mouse fails when on fullscreen | 01:27 |
| leogitimate | nydel: it appears completely unresponsive to keystrokes. until i execute a mouse-click on the desktop | 01:27 |
| dibblego | I bet this question is never asked, but how does one get rid of the silly desktop antics on 12.04 so that I can get my own wm running on top? | 01:27 |
| extropy | egal: I've never seen a linux distro play minecraft without this problem. It would be a miracle if it ever got fixed | 01:27 |
| tyler_d | ahhhh | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: better? | 01:28 |
| somsip | dibblego: just install your own wm and chose that as the session on login | 01:28 |
| Triclops200 | extropy: Never has happened on any of my distros | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dibblego: you may have the option in the sessions menu in lightdm | 01:28 |
| k1l_ | egal: "lsb_release -a|pastebinit" and show the link here | 01:28 |
| dibblego | somsip: I want gnome to run my wm | 01:28 |
| nydel | leogitimate: does it matter what application you close, or does it do this with anything? and is it only when you close the last application, that is, does it happen if another application takes focus? | 01:28 |
| egal | extropy: i've never played mc :) | 01:28 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: slightly mehtinks... I'm not sure the screen resolution is any better, but certainly a lot cleaner off the hop... bit of tweaking and I'm a happy camper | 01:28 |
| extropy | Triclops200 are you using Sun's JVM or OpenJDK? | 01:28 |
| somsip | dibblego: what wm? | 01:28 |
| Triclops200 | extropy: OpenJDK | 01:29 |
| leogitimate | nydel: behavior is the same for all applications | 01:29 |
| dibblego | somsip: xmonad | 01:29 |
| extropy | Triclops200: I'm interested to know how you accomplished this. Are you speaking the case of minecraft specifically or all Java apps? | 01:29 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: updating now, but temp is 55... aaaahhhh | 01:29 |
| leogitimate | nydel: looks like i found the culprit, it was conky, if i kill it, behavior is normal | 01:30 |
| somsip | dibblego: I use a tiling wm too. Just choose it on login, and gnome will do whatever it needs to do AFAICT | 01:30 |
| MiningMarsh | extropy: All apps have worked fine for me also. On both icedtea (openjdk) and suns/oracles | 01:30 |
| Triclops200 | extropy: All. I'm not sure how, it used to act up for a while, but it fixed itself a few months ago. In the meantime, a fix is to drag the window to the very top left before fullscreening | 01:30 |
| dibblego | somsip: I typically set up xmonad a bit differently, due to gnome being a monolithic beast | 01:30 |
| vivid | extropy, ive solved those issues by updating liblwjgl within ~/.minecraft | 01:30 |
| somsip | dibblego: I installed ubuntu minimal, then installed my wm (awesome), and allowed any gnome dependencies to be picked up as required. works fine | 01:31 |
| extropy | vivid: interesting, so it's a liblwjgl problem then? | 01:31 |
| egal | extropy: Triclops200: OJDK 6 + 7 sets mouse when window maximized | 01:31 |
| Triclops200 | dibblego: I tried xmonad, use awesomewm. It is faster and more customizable. Much less buggy, too. | 01:31 |
| vivid | extropy, as far as i can tell. yes. minecraft ships an old version. if you go to their website and download the package, just swap out the files within your local minecraft install | 01:32 |
| dibblego | Triclops200: I very strongly disagree | 01:32 |
| extropy | I don't play in fullscreen my box can't really handle it. | 01:32 |
| Triclops200 | dibblego: That's great. | 01:32 |
| Triclops200 | dibblego: If you enjoy xmonad, stay with it. | 01:32 |
| vivid | extropy, fullscreen doesnt reliably work in unity anyway | 01:32 |
| nydel | leogitimate: i have some problems like that, i keep scripts somewhere in $PATH to kill programs that don't end themselves & cause problems. just a few lines, a shebang & "pkill firefox-trunk" or whatever. you can also set a hotkey to execute one of those scripts in keyboard section of settings. so you're all set then? | 01:33 |
| dibblego | somsip: yeah I have configured it like that before years ago — I do it again | 01:33 |
| somsip | dibblego: so you do have as solution? | 01:34 |
| opieng | hi all, why can I not play youtube videos in Ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| dibblego | somsip: I have a variety of solutions, just trying to find something workable with 12.04 | 01:34 |
| dibblego | i.e. gnome3 | 01:34 |
| leogitimate | nydel: yes, probably an issue with my conky config. but it's all good i'm glad that it's not a but that i have no fix for | 01:34 |
| Triclops200 | opieng: Use chrome, it has a flash implementation | 01:34 |
| somsip | dibblego: on 12.04 here, but from upgrades from a previous version. Again, works fine | 01:35 |
| MiningMarsh | opieng: chrome specifically, chromium is missing these plugins. | 01:35 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: how do I increase my resolution now | 01:35 |
| MiningMarsh | opieng: also, make sure the adobe-flash package is installed | 01:35 |
| nydel | leogitimate: we all run into problems of this nature or similar when working with system-monitoring programs sooner or later :) | 01:36 |
| opieng | ahhh I see, thanks, theres me updating from 11 to 12.04 LTS thinking that would solve it | 01:36 |
| riffautae | I just tried installing ubuntu 12.04, I have two drives | 01:36 |
| === alan_ is now known as Guest12402 | ||
| riffautae | i selected 'install along side' and it deleted EVERYTHING on the second drive | 01:36 |
| three18ti | I'm trying to make an UbuntuLiveCD and I've followed these destructions: ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) but when I attempt to boot I get the error "E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture" | 01:37 |
| riffautae | it did not ask which drive I wanted to use | 01:37 |
| riffautae | it just deleted everything | 01:37 |
| phy1729 | I have a number of ubuntu server 12.04 boxes but only one is sending igmp requests to 224.0.0.1. Why would it be sending these requests and can I turn them off? | 01:37 |
| three18ti | but it IS a debian disk and it IS amd64... | 01:37 |
| usr13 | !flash | opieng | 01:37 |
| ubottu | opieng: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 01:37 |
| extropy | ah man, if this fixes my problem that would be marvelous, thanks vivid, others | 01:37 |
| MiningMarsh | opieng: gnash is veeery buggy, stick with flash. | 01:38 |
| three18ti | anyone have any hints on how to build an Ubuntu Live CD? | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | !remaster | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinkign 12.04 changed a lot of thigjns with remastering.. but ive never tried it. | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | so any guidea may be incorredt if they are older | 01:39 |
| bobweaver | one big meta package ? | 01:39 |
| Heather_ | question: I've been using xampp on windows for webdevelopment and recently build a webserver and installed ubuntu on it. I've installed apache2/php5/mysql and confirmed that they work. Where should I put .php files. I've tried var/www/file.php and var/www/htdocs/somefolder/file.php but the website is not displayed in firefox @ http://localhost/somefolder// | 01:40 |
| three18ti | Dr_willis, that's what I was afraid of... I've not tried the dell utility, but all the others have been dead ends... | 01:40 |
| bobweaver | permissions heather ? | 01:40 |
| opieng | thanks all | 01:40 |
| bobweaver | Heather_, you can set the name of the host in /etc/hosts | 01:41 |
| Heather_ | okay | 01:41 |
| Triclops200 | Heather_: Is apache working? Does apache have read and execute permissions for the file, and have you tried rebooting? | 01:42 |
| cowsquad | does anybody know how to access the Mail command reconfigure screen prompt? | 01:42 |
| bobweaver | like 127.0.0.1 localhost could also be 127.0.0.1 hostname | 01:42 |
| bobweaver | you can also change in apache to have many hostnames | 01:42 |
| bobweaver | but back to the question : | 01:43 |
| compdoc | cowsquad, you mean: sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 01:43 |
| bobweaver | !permissions | 01:43 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 01:43 |
| Heather_ | thanks | 01:43 |
| cowsquad | compdoc | 01:43 |
| cowsquad | what is the package name | 01:44 |
| compdoc | well, I dont know - I use nullmailer. what do you use? | 01:44 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: tada.. and I'm set | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: sweet | 01:44 |
| three18ti | so... can we take http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility off the ubottu factoid somehow? This page is no longer valid. | 01:44 |
| bobweaver | Heather_, you can change all that stuff in apache sites_enabled | 01:44 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: so far, 45 | 01:44 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: cut it in half... | 01:44 |
| cowsquad | mailx | 01:45 |
| opieng | anyone know any softwares that can help me with getting used to using the terminal and start building up my knowledge and skills with using the terminal? | 01:45 |
| cowsquad | or mailutils | 01:45 |
| bobweaver | opieng, check out gregs guide | 01:45 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: thanks so much for the recommendation... hopefully the performance reflects it as well | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !manual | opieng | 01:45 |
| ubottu | opieng: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 01:45 |
| MiningMarsh | ( | 01:45 |
| noliverh | hello guys... | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | opieng: just try to use the terminal more instead of GUI apps, you'll learn | 01:46 |
| bobweaver | opieng, http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/tutoriallist | 01:46 |
| noliverh | new in ubuntu server | 01:46 |
| Heather_ | bobweaver okay I'm in that file atm and DocumentRoot is set as /var/www | 01:46 |
| Triclops200 | eval (lamdba () (display "STOP IT")) | 01:46 |
| Triclops200 | ) | 01:46 |
| Heather_ | that means that If I put my index.php file in there it should be displayed given the permissions for reading the file are correct? | 01:46 |
| Triclops200 | Heather_: Yeah | 01:46 |
| bobweaver | Heather_, you have tried to make folder like sudo mkdir -p /var/www/foo then making a php test file ? | 01:47 |
| bobweaver | in foo | 01:47 |
| Heather_ | I did try the default index.html and created test.php with arbitrary code and it was displayed in localhost | 01:47 |
| bobweaver | Heather_, try making index.php in var/www/foo | 01:48 |
| Heather_ | okay | 01:48 |
| bobweaver | then call 127.0.0.1/foo/index.php | 01:49 |
| compdoc | cowsquad, mailutils is just a set of programs to send and test mail. Its not a mail server. You might open software-center and search for mail and see whats installed | 01:49 |
| Triclops200 | Heather_: pastebin the result of `cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default` | 01:49 |
| cowsquad | compoc, okay thank you | 01:49 |
| opieng | Fantastic Ubuntu manual, but it seems more about the GUI than using the terminal | 01:51 |
| Heather_ | bobweaver it worked with and without index.php in the end. | 01:52 |
| bobweaver | Heather_, you made index.php test | 01:52 |
| Heather_ | yes | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | opieng: try doing file maoves and so forth in terminal instead of using nautilus, update your packages in terminal instead of (slow) software centre | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | opieng: stuff like that | 01:52 |
| Heather_ | just need to make my projects index.php to show up aswell. | 01:53 |
| opieng | ActionParsnip, yes thats exactly the stuff I want to do | 01:53 |
| Tex_Nick | 12.10 unity ... i have what seems to be a stable build on a new pc build ... i want to install my most common apps ... then mirror the build onto an old hard drive, so i can easily reinstall when i do something stupid that renders the systen useless ... best method ??? | 01:53 |
| adknight87 | install through the software sources for that version | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Tex_Nick: if you make a small partition for / then you can make an image and store it | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Tex_Nick: something like 10Gb will be enough. | 01:54 |

| Adeeel | hi | 01:59 |
| Adeeel | what is the file permission means | 02:00 |
| Adeeel | -rw-r----- | 02:00 |
| Adeeel | ? | 02:00 |
| enriq | ActionParsnip, now my 6 y.o. kid can have ubuntu on his first machine | 02:00 |
| MiningMarsh | Adeeel: read and write for the owner, read for the owners group | 02:00 |
| adknight87 | Adeeel: Means who owns the file read=r write=w | 02:00 |
| adknight87 | x=execute | 02:00 |
| Adeeel | and | 02:01 |
| Adeeel | -rw-r--r-- | 02:01 |
| Adeeel | ? | 02:01 |
| Adeeel | whats the difference in both ? | 02:01 |
| MiningMarsh | Adeeel: well, that file is the same, but everyone gets read permissions, not just the owners group | 02:01 |
| Adeeel | oh | 02:02 |
| Adeeel | so this must be the issue | 02:02 |
| MiningMarsh | Adeeel: so if a user is in the sudo group, other admins could read the first file, but everyone can read the second file | 02:02 |

| Ray2 | Ubuntu-10.04...I have multiple o/s installed...I can mount another o/s...but when I open a file the info is the same as the Ubuntu file...Can the file be edited using mount ?? | 02:28 |
| bobweaver | chill all | 02:28 |
| cjae | my bad....did anyone see my question in all that | 02:28 |
| bobweaver | like a hot day and a ice cube melting | 02:29 |
| cjae | ok so primary system kubuntu 12.04 but I installed ubuntu-desktop, I dont seem to be able to use my sudo passwd when in unity | 02:29 |
| cjae | also how come kdm shows metacity as a login option now but nothing happens when you try it | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2, what file exactly? | 02:32 |
| adknight87 | ActionParnsnip: Well actually I what "Exec= /Application/to/run/" "$1"<------ the script will take the URL from the link and add it there | 02:32 |
| bobweaver | some things run with metacity --replace | 02:32 |
| bobweaver | like fast things | 02:32 |
| bobweaver | or things on older computers | 02:32 |
| Ray2 | dr_willis Moneydance.deb financial manager | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2, you mount 'filesystems' not OS's - im not sure what you are doing but i bet you are somehow mounting the wrong filesystem to a location. | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | why would you be editing a .deb file anyway? I think you need to clarify to the channel what you are doing exactly. | 02:35 |
| cjae | bobweaver: I remember having to do something that when beryl came out | 02:35 |
| cjae | with that* | 02:35 |
| gogeta | Dr_willis: burning his system down heh | 02:35 |
| cornell | Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and chromium, and I seem to've lost sound in the browser, used to have it, not now. I can still hear files played in Totem Movie Player. Any ideas? | 02:36 |
| bobweaver | flash cornell | 02:37 |
| bobweaver | ? | 02:37 |
| gogeta | cornell: unmute your sound | 02:37 |
| gogeta | lol | 02:37 |
| bobweaver | gogeta, chill brother | 02:37 |
| cornell | Well, something that plays swf files. | 02:37 |
| bobweaver | or sister | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | cornell, you mean you lost sound in flash videos? I noticed the volume mixers had a seperate slider for fdlash videos for me.. not sure why | 02:37 |
| bobweaver | cornell, yeah that is flash | 02:37 |
| bobweaver | you can try to rip a flash and play in totem to test ? | 02:38 |
| bobweaver | do you have a script that does that ? | 02:38 |
| bobweaver | like that uses lsof ? | 02:38 |
| cornell | Oh, ok, Dr_willis, I'll look into that. Don't know how to rip youtube videos. | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | theres dozens of flash downloader extensions | 02:38 |
| Ray2 | Dr-Willis.. I mount Mageia2 and get the file system with the header reading Mageia2 then open /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance but the file is the same as Ubuntu's file...I want to make entry in that program from Ubuntu | 02:38 |
| bobweaver | cornell, I have a script if you like it is perl | 02:38 |
| cornell | k, bobweaver. Do I need to install something to run perl? | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2, where did you mount the filesystem Mageia2 to? | 02:39 |
| g00053 | I can't figure out which pid I want to kill via the "top" command but I can pick out the window. isn't there a command to do it with a mous click ? | 02:39 |
| bobweaver | nope cornwall all you do is save script and make executable | 02:39 |
| bobweaver | g00053, ps aux | grep <app name > | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2 /opt/whatever would be the opt directory on the OS you booted... you are using a full path | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | g00053, xkill | 02:40 |
| cornell | Dr_willis: How to get to the mixer? | 02:40 |
| gene-laptop | So i installed 12.10 (3.5.0-17) 64 bit ubuntu. broadcom wifi worked. let the system update itself via desktop app, rebooted. wifi no longer works. the "wl" module no longer exists. trying to install bcmwl-kernel-sources says i don't have the kernel-sources. I installed linux-sources-3.5.0 and linux-headers-3.5.0-18 | 02:40 |
| g00053 | Dr_willis, tanks! | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | cornell, i use that pavucontrol tool | 02:40 |
| bobweaver | cornell, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376295/ | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | g00053, carefull with xkill, right click to cancle the killing | 02:41 |
| gene-laptop | is it pretty common for incredibly minor version upgrades to break ubuntu in this fashion? how do i fix this? | 02:41 |
| Devilinside | how to cntrol the dsl connection by commandline?? | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gene-laptop: are there bugs reported? | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Devilinside: control in what way? | 02:41 |
| Ray2 | Dr_Willis...I mounted it in Ubuntu using places>Mageia2 | 02:42 |
| Devilinside | i mean connect to dsl connection or create one. | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2, and what path are you using to access the files on Mageia2? | 02:42 |
| cornell | bobweaver: the paste seems to be a single word: ripper | 02:42 |
| bobweaver | woops | 02:42 |

| deadlyquirk | I'm having some trouble getting 12.10 to run on my notebook. When I boot the livedisk, I am taken to a login page asking for a username and password. I have been googling but I can't find anything about this. | 02:43 |
| Ray2 | DR-Willis..Once I mount Mageia then I get the window with /opt etc | 02:43 |
| bobweaver | cornell, I can make .deb if you like I think I made before | 02:43 |
| Devilinside | and i have installed ubuntu by wubi, how do i get to change the root passwd, if i ever forgrt it?? | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | Ray2, thats your problem then... its NOT going to be in /opt/whatever it will be in /media/somthing | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyquirk: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there and run: passwd ubuntu you can then set the password and press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in as expected | 02:44 |

| Ray2 | Dr_Willis okay thanks | 02:44 |

| bobweaver | there is deb of ripper with stupid gui that I should write in c++ | 02:45 |
| deadlyquirk | ActionParsnip: When I go the TTY1 I am not even getting a login prompt. I am seeing a message that says "authentication error" | 02:45 |
| bobweaver | correct it is just text | 02:45 |
| bobweaver | like are scripting langs | 02:45 |
| bobweaver | there is some regex and vars and case and functions in there also but in the end it is not assembly code | 02:46 |
| bobweaver | lol case and functions I am funny sometimes cornell that is program humor not you it is me :) | 02:46 |
| bobweaver | cornell, there is deb in link that I gave you so you do not have to make script run deb comes with gui | 02:47 |
| cornell | k | 02:47 |
| bobweaver | but it is for 64 bit | 02:47 |
| bobweaver | ir 32 | 02:47 |

| newroad | already got that bob | 02:55 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: i don't even know where to start | 02:55 |
| newroad | problem is, i cant even do glxgears | 02:55 |
| bobweaver | you have tried to press ctrl+alt+f1 and login and sudo reboot ? | 02:55 |

| bobweaver | you have tried the channel #ubuntu-valve | 02:57 |
| bobweaver | er | 02:57 |
| genewitch | the report a bug series of pages on ubuntu.com are just a loop | 02:58 |
| xangua | newroad: cinnamon is not supported anyways | 02:58 |
| genewitch | i assume that's by design | 02:58 |
| newroad | this error is clearly an error with my bumblebee: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: XORG NVIDIA(0): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 0 | 02:58 |
| JoshuaLin | /join #inediblepie | 02:58 |

| bobweaver | I hate nvidia that is 60 % of the questions here ? | 02:59 |
| ben64-droidy | Can I use my laptop as a wireless repeater? | 02:59 |
| bobweaver | Oh sorry newroad I guess that I miss read | 02:59 |
| genewitch | so how do i report the bug that the first upgrade 12.10 ran broke my wifi? | 03:00 |
| almoxarife | ben64-droidy: what is a wireless repeater? | 03:00 |
| genewitch | do i file that under kernel, broadcom | 03:00 |
| Marius80 | hey | 03:00 |
| bobweaver | newroad, all I can help with is links here are some http://wiki.Bumblebee-Project.org/Reporting-Issues https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable | 03:00 |
| ben64-droidy | almoxarife - repeats wireless signal | 03:01 |
| Marius80 | could anyone tell me why MySQL is sooooo slow on Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 03:01 |
| antonio_ | For some reason the mouse on my gf's desktop that has 10.04 will randomly stop working. Is there any kind of debugging program I can use or a terminal command to find out whats going on? | 03:01 |
| Marius80 | Actually MySQL is not slow, it's crippling!! | 03:01 |
| cornell | Found the mixer | 03:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Marius80: are there bugs reported? | 03:01 |
| bobweaver | antonio_, you can gather all devices info from /dev/* | 03:01 |
| cornell | There's an entry for ALSA plug-in [chromium-browser]. It's at 100% | 03:02 |
| bobweaver | Marius80, What ActionParsnip said | 03:02 |
| Marius80 | ActionParsnip, yes, one bug with ext4 filesystem, already tried the workaround, but did not work | 03:02 |
| bobweaver | cornell, what do you mean 100% ? | 03:02 |
| Marius80 | the workaround is barrier=0 in /etc/fstab | 03:02 |
| cornell | Well, full on. loudest | 03:02 |
| antonio_ | bobweaver: it outputs /dev/audio: command not found | 03:02 |
| Marius80 | but as I said, nothing happened | 03:02 |
| Marius80 | maybe it's a different bug | 03:02 |
| bobweaver | Marius80, you can file bug ? | 03:03 |
| bobweaver | !bug | 03:03 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 03:03 |
| Marius80 | a Joomla installation on my localhost took 14 minutes | 03:03 |
| cornell | ANd I have sound | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Marius80: Tried a different filesystem if ext4 is a known issue causer? | 03:03 |
| Marius80 | bobweaver, maybe it's a well-known bug, so that's why I came here before filing the bug | 03:03 |
| bobweaver | er ok Marius80 please file bug and tell us in bug what happens then we do not need to flood the irc chat | 03:03 |
| Marius80 | ActionParsnip, not yet, I would need to set up the system from new | 03:04 |
| cornell | Ok... that's interesting, bobweaver. The ALSA etc. entry... disappeared. | 03:04 |
| somsip | Marius80: working fine here on 12.04. On ext4 too | 03:04 |
| ben64-droidy | Can I use my laptop as a wireless repeater? | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Marius80: or is it haveing the databases on Ext4 causing the issue? Then you can make a partition to store the data | 03:04 |
| bobweaver | Marius80, that is why ubuntu-bug brings to page that asks what you are filing and looks to see if already filed | 03:04 |
| genewitch | So is the answer to my problem "reinstall ubuntu and don't let it upgrade"? | 03:04 |
| genewitch | roll back to 12.04? | 03:04 |
| Marius80 | k I will file it | 03:05 |
| Marius80 | thank you so far | 03:05 |
| bobweaver | antonio_, looking up /drv maping | 03:05 |
| dougbb | Marius80: have you tried mariadb? | 03:05 |
| bobweaver | mapping * \ | 03:05 |
| antonio_ | thanks | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: you can hold shift at boot and select the old kernel to boot | 03:06 |
| dougbb | Marius80: in the past, when I've been forced to use mysql, I've found mariadb to be an excellent replacement | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: you may be able to humour the installer with a symlink :) | 03:06 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: hmm | 03:06 |
| Marius80 | dougbb, will applications designed to run with MySQL automatically support MariaDB even if not mentioned by the installer? | 03:06 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: holding down shut does nothing | 03:07 |
| dougbb | yes ... in my experience, which is not universal of course | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: its a bit of a hack but worth a try | 03:07 |
| almoxarife | ben64-droidy: sure, run your wifi promiscuous with wireshark, take the logged file and and send it out via wifi to the connection of your choice | 03:07 |
| Marius80 | thank you dougbb | 03:07 |
| ben64-droidy | almoxarife - that doesn't sound possible | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: if you run: cd /usr/src; ls you will see the header folders. | 03:08 |
| dougbb | Marius80: worth a shot anyway | 03:08 |
| Marius80 | dougbb, MariaDB is not in the repository, is it? | 03:08 |
| TheLordOfTime | Marius80, i'd listen to dependencies as stated in a given software, and not assume other things'll work with it. | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: if you run: umame -r you will see the kernel version you are booted to (be sure this is the troublesome kernel) | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: you can then make a symlink in that folde | 03:08 |
| almoxarife | ben64-droidy: thats the easy part | 03:08 |
| nencinip | dual Head & different monitori resolution can be avaiable with Radeon9200 (rv280?) and radeon dirver ? | 03:08 |
| deadlyquirk | ActionParsnip: Just to be sure I reran md5sum and it matches. I tried putting it on a fresh usb stick and its still throwing errors. | 03:08 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: make a symlink to what | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: so that the folder for the kernel headers is present, when really its just a link to the previous kernel's headers | 03:09 |
| deadlyquirk | It is a UEFI machine. Should I be using another version of the ISO instead of ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso ? | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyquirk: have you tested your RAM using memtest from the USB stick? | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: may make a shaky driver but it may just be dumb enough to work | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: plus it's easy to roll back :) | 03:10 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: how do i increase the grub delay so i can just switch kernels on boot? | 03:11 |
| genewitch | i am trying the symlinks | 03:11 |
| deadlyquirk | ActionParsnip: Ram is good. It boots and runs Fedora 17 as well as Windows. | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyquirk: its worth testing, just to be sure | 03:11 |

| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: right there, on the canon europe site | 03:17 |
| cornell | Well, gotta go. | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: nothing new | 03:17 |

| Chipzzz | does anybody know how I can rename my workspaces on a precise unity desktop? | 03:18 |
| doomlord | ubuntu nexus 7, whats it like? | 03:18 |
| doomlord | does it have tweaks for touchscreen such as muti-finger gestures for moving windows/desktops; | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | I have never ever ever had issue with chrome nor chriomium ever with soun dafter making sure that I installed them correctly . but not to say that it dont happen maybe that is more of a hardware thing As I tend to make sure that all parts and computers that I by are opensource driver ready | 03:20 |
| kangarooo | Hello! Where in launchpad bug files i can find some computer id and hardware info for computer ive lost? I found in bug report LSPCI but where is info about HDD size? I need to find this old info to prove witch is my comp. One guy took mine. | 03:20 |
| dougbb | someone rooted a nexus 7 to put ubuntu on it? | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | dooml0rd, libutouch is GREAT ! | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | No dougbb we just made iso and lots of armel woork | 03:20 |
| doomlord | i'm just watching a youtube video on it; | 03:20 |
| Chipzzz | kangarooo: df -h | 03:20 |
| Heather_ | question: Why does the defualt 000-default apache file change when I change and save the copy of that file? | 03:21 |
| doomlord | i'm fairly tempted by a nexus 7 - i dont have an android tablet as yet - but if it would run ubuntu i would be a *lot* more tempted | 03:21 |
| bobweaver | there is rooted if you want to call it that in the install thingy well that is hard | 03:21 |
| bobweaver | Nexus 7 is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!! | 03:21 |
| === iamzim_ is now known as iamzim | ||
| bobweaver | go for it dooml0rd nothing but good things to say on this end | 03:22 |
| bobweaver | there is a iso for it also | 03:22 |
| kangarooo | Chipzzz: ok that ill do when ill test that comp but where in LP i can check to compare comp ID and mother board and HDD manufacturer and all its info? I want to give this info to police couse one huy took my comp. | 03:22 |
| bobweaver | orga made it ? | 03:22 |
| dougbb | I'm thinking of getting a nexus 7 if I can find a good enough black friday deal | 03:22 |
| doomlord | can you "dual boot" android/ubuntu | 03:22 |
| bobweaver | dougbb, and doomlord there are manything that the armel team and linaro are workingon | 03:23 |
| almoxarife | doomlord: its already been done | 03:23 |
| bobweaver | working on * | 03:23 |
| kangarooo | I want to find in LP my old comp ID info. Where is it? In lspci file isnt all info. | 03:23 |
| doomlord | having said that, i think i would really like ubuntu permanently | 03:23 |
| bobweaver | dooml0rd, there are some issues and a bug testing sqad going on | 03:23 |
| iamzim | Linux Action Show - Ubuntu on Nexus 7 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMLNyTG49_w&feature=g-all-u | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: I suggest you remove the printer you have setup, then power off the printer iteself. You don't need the installer script, just install the debs in the packages folder | 03:24 |
| bobweaver | if you would like there are many many people that where working with it at UDS and also there is wikis for it also I 100% recommend it over any tablet | 03:24 |
| bobweaver | so cool | 03:24 |
| doomlord | i think a desktop grid would work well on a tablet :) | 03:24 |
| D_Russ | ok | 03:24 |
| arthur_ | hey guys, is there a way to disable the keyring thing on ubuntu no one else uses this computer and the whole startup/boot up process is getting annoying | 03:24 |
| bobweaver | but there is other tablets that can run off metacity also and also 10 ft interfaces are great dooml0rd I am making one want to see ? | 03:25 |
| D_Russ | actionparsnip: it shows already installed | 03:25 |
| D_Russ | i am reinstalling | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: I hate that grid thing. It's one of the first things I kill off | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: cool | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | arthur_: one way is a blank password (not too secure) | 03:25 |
| D_Russ | actionparsnip: is a restart in order? | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: once you reboot, relogin and power on the printer and set it up again | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: i would :) | 03:26 |
| doomlord | does "globalmenu"work ok on a touchscreen? like pulldown gestures from the top edge of the screen ? (i think you'd want the menu displayed permanently instead of being cursor-activate) | 03:26 |
| bobweaver | dooml0rd, check it out brother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pER9B5Jo5dI | 03:26 |
| D_Russ | thanks | 03:26 |
| arthur_ | ActionParsnip, doesn't really matter to me if it's 'secure' or not. but using a blank password would mean that I won't get that prompt anymore? i mean if I turn on my computer and walk away get back then empathy will be fully logged in too?> | 03:27 |
| bobweaver | what that is not the right link ;) | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | arthur_: then set a blank password and it won't bother you :) | 03:27 |
| doomlord | i think i saw asome video with 3-finger drag moving windows around withtout needing to aim at the titlebar | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | arthur_: yes it won't prompt you | 03:27 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||

| bobweaver | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcepB1E1lX0 | 03:28 |
| smj | Beep doesn't produce any sound when it's run :/ How do I enable PC speaker or Intel HDA emulation? | 03:28 |
| doomlord | What appeals about the nexus 7 is pocketability - i can imagine always carrying it in a jacket pocket | 03:29 |
| joshtau | anyone run across 146.831065] hid-multitouch 0003:1B96:0F00.0009: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: on a multitouch screen (ubuntu 12.10, sony vaio 11) | 03:29 |
| arthur_ | one other thing. just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"? | 03:29 |
| doomlord | so to have a "real" os like ubuntu there would be awesome :) | 03:29 |
| === IdleOne is now known as Guest61500 | ||
| joshtau | doomlord: customised roms for the nexus 7 make it an actual tablet compared to the stock os | 03:29 |
| bobweaver | day one dooml0rd day two ;) | 03:29 |
| kylemccool_ | s | 03:30 |
| joshtau | running paranoid android on the nexus 7 is the closest to perfection for a 7" tablet, and is actually usable by everyone and not just developers/fantatics :P | 03:30 |
| bobweaver | dooml0rd, what about things like the atrix 2 ? and other things like that eff the desktop all together there is the all in one with system 76 now but tyat is off topic sorry al | 03:30 |
| doomlord | nexus 7 is complementary to my current gadgets | 03:31 |
| genewitch | so. the upgrade broke ALL wireless, not just the onboard | 03:31 |
| genewitch | i can get a connection for a minute, but then it stops working and keeps asking for the wifi password over and over | 03:31 |
| dougbb | genewitch: have you tried editing the wireless config? | 03:32 |
| genewitch | I switched to the old kernel 3.5.0-17 on boot and the wl module isn't in that modules directly | 03:32 |
| === Guest61500 is now known as IdleOne | ||
| genewitch | dougbb: if i wanted to edit files i'd be in #gentoo | 03:32 |
| dougbb | I didn't say files | 03:32 |
| dougbb | and don't be an ass | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: which kernel has the wl module? | 03:33 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: neither, now | 03:33 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: the update removed the package with the module i guess | 03:33 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, wait a second can we see lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 then pastebin it and the bot will tell uou more | 03:33 |
| genewitch | and i can't rebuild the ,mmodule | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: then I would remove then re-add the driver | 03:33 |

| doomlord | i dont like windows8 but i think some of MS's ideas are interesting for a tablet ui.. the live tiles make sense | 03:34 |
| joshtau | windows 8 for a tablet is so silly | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: use jockey | 03:35 |
| bobweaver | +1 ActionParsnip | 03:35 |
| genewitch | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/ | 03:35 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: i can remove it but i can't sucessfully reinstall it | 03:36 |
| bobweaver | but if jockey is not reading the card number but the other number ()()* um... like lspci and lspci -vnn show different things that is what I have seen alot of in Ubuntu that esp jockey that it is not reading it right | 03:36 |
| almoxarife | win8 tablet seems like a glorified android | 03:36 |
| doomlord | their screen-edge gesture ideas are ok too - i think its good to have the whole screen available | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: is the system a laptop? | 03:36 |
| bobweaver | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 03:36 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: yes | 03:37 |
| bobweaver | dooml0rd, think about metacity and unity-qt | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: then use a wired connection and get sorted, may help | 03:37 |
| * bobweaver mouth waters | 03:37 | |
| doomlord | IMO win8 RT is a slight of hand. they want people to buy it thinking its a true "computer" OS, because of the windows name, when infact its cutdown | 03:37 |

| bobweaver | fix * | 03:37 |
| almoxarife | unity-qt? qtrazor? | 03:37 |
| genewitch | wired works, just the broadcom and the realtek cards stopped working on reboot. what is jockey | 03:38 |
| bobweaver | almoxarife, sorry that is what it was called in the start when it was QT | 03:38 |
| kylemccool | sup | 03:38 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, additional drivers it is also called | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep bcmwl | 03:38 |
| almoxarife | genewitch: check something, is linux-kernel-headers installed? | 03:38 |
| bobweaver | it looks for proprietary things using scripts genewitch | 03:39 |
| Butcho | genewitch: jockey-text -l | 03:39 |
| genewitch | almoxarife: i think so | 03:39 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: ii bcmwl-kernel-source and a bunch of other stuff | 03:39 |
| kylemccool | K | 03:40 |
| arthur_ | just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"? | 03:40 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, if you will tell us the card # then bang we can really help you | 03:40 |
| Butcho | genewitch: make sure linux-source and linux-headers-* is installed | 03:40 |
| Butcho | that was my problem with the nvidia driver | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: do you also have b43-fwcutter installed? | 03:41 |
| genewitch | Butcho: they're installed | 03:41 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: i pastebin that info | 03:41 |
| genewitch | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/ | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: can you also pastebin the output of: dpkg -l | egrep 'bcmwl|b43-fwcutter' | 03:42 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, 14e4:4727 you see that ? | 03:42 |
| bobweaver | you can match that up with the drivers page if you like to ? | 03:42 |
| genewitch | yes that said to install bcmwl-kernel-source | 03:43 |
| bobweaver | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported devices | 03:43 |
| genewitch | bcmwl-kernel-source installs, but doesn't do anything, it says: Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed | 03:43 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, paste what ActionParsnip asked plz | 03:44 |
| bobweaver | pastebin it plz | 03:44 |
| bobweaver | that is | 03:44 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: the one on the 12.10 amd64 liveCD installer. 3.5.0-17 | 03:44 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: but after update, that module is no longer on the system | 03:45 |
| bobweaver | *** ActionParsnip> genewitch: can you also pastebin the output of: dpkg -l | egrep 'bcmwl|b43-fwcutter' *** | 03:45 |

| usr13 | genewitch: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 03:46 |

| praveenmarkandu | hi need some help with MTP devices | 03:49 |
| praveenmarkandu | not everyones favourite topic i bet | 03:49 |
| genewitch | i'm more concrened that everything i do in apt-get install says required pacakges have not yet nbeen created or been moved out of Incoming | 03:50 |
| bobweaver | ActionParsnip, this - > is going to be nice to watch to see if it is wl or b43 | 03:50 |
| praveenmarkandu | anyway, in ubuntu 12.04, i could get to the devvice via the ~/.gvfs path | 03:50 |
| praveenmarkandu | but now in ubuntu 12.10 how do i do that? | 03:50 |
| praveenmarkandu | i can only access it via nautilus | 03:50 |
| bobweaver | errr proprietary hardware | 03:50 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: bcma, wl | 03:51 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: i could have told you that | 03:51 |
| praveenmarkandu | and it is some weird path name like gphoto://[usb:002,002]/ | 03:51 |
| genewitch | lspci -k when i first booted ubuntu up | 03:51 |
| arthur_ | just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"? | 03:51 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, yeah the broadcom-sta-* :) | 03:52 |
| genewitch | so why am i not installing that package | 03:52 |
| bobweaver | IDK | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | is it installed genewitch ? lsmod | grep wl | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: did the symlink not work? | 03:53 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: results of your command line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376381/ | 03:53 |
| genewitch | mind you, i already did all of this before coming in here | 03:54 |
| genewitch | but not pastebin, so at least it's consistently broken | 03:54 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, plz do this sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 03:54 |
| bobweaver | then | 03:54 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: I have that installed. | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: what is the output of: uname -a | 03:54 |
| bobweaver | dpkg-query -l | grep broad* | 03:55 |

| genewitch | bobweaver: there's nothing in the output about broadcom | 03:56 |
| bobweaver | then it is not installed | 03:56 |
| bobweaver | so is b43 ? | 03:56 |
| genewitch | I KNOW. | 03:56 |
| genewitch | NO | 03:56 |
| genewitch | lspci -k showed bcma, wl for the broadcom4313 chip when i first booted | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | then install the 2 pakages | 03:57 |
| genewitch | what two | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | packages | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma; sudo modprobe wl | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | no no no you have to look at the card **number ** | 03:57 |
| genewitch | 4313 | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | nope | 03:57 |
| genewitch | which can use STA or bcmwl | 03:57 |
| deadlyquirk | is there a large difference between the iso for 12.4 and the one for 12.4.1? | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | what is in red ? | 03:57 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/ | 03:58 |
| genewitch | 4727 | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | deadlyquirk: later packages, requiring less updates after the initial install | 03:58 |
| bobweaver | good now look at chart | 03:58 |

| bobweaver | 14e4:4727 no (WIP) BCM4313 b/g/n LCN (r1) wl/brcm80211 | 03:58 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: funny, because it worked both with the installer and after i rebooted | 03:59 |
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||
| deadlyquirk | ActionParsnip: I'll give it a shot then. I need to stop downloading stuff like this at home. My net connection is too slow... | 03:59 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: then when i did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade it stopped working | 03:59 |
| bobweaver | so to get the right one according to the page that makes mods you need to install these things I will list off 1 sec | 03:59 |
| genewitch | Furthermore, this wifi card works perfectly in gentoo. I can swithc it out for any number of other wifi cards (intel, ralink, etc) but the realtek USB card i have is ALSO freaking out. | 04:00 |
| genewitch | So i'm not willing to open the laptop up again on a whim. | 04:00 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-{source,dkms,common} | 04:00 |
| genewitch | ok | 04:00 |
| bobweaver | god for gentoo | 04:00 |
| bobweaver | good * | 04:01 |
| bobweaver | lol | 04:01 |
| bobweaver | use gentoo if you like I mean use what you like and want | 04:01 |
| bobweaver | ralink maybe firmware ? | 04:01 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376391/ | 04:01 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: so that's also a no go | 04:02 |
| genewitch | so am i reinstalling? | 04:02 |
| noliverh | about the wireless pci thing... my netgear v3 is not working in my ubuntu | 04:02 |
| genewitch | and just not letting ubuntu upgrade itself? | 04:02 |
| noliverh | why is that? | 04:02 |
| bobweaver | apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | 04:02 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, ^^ | 04:02 |
| genewitch | yes, screenfuls of stuff | 04:03 |
| adknight87 | Man I can't figure this out. I can't get the link to become a part of a scripts exec | 04:04 |

| bobweaver | apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | awk '/Filename:/,/Size:/' | 04:04 |
| bobweaver | much better | 04:04 |
| bobweaver | or if you like to break down more | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | awk '/Filename:/,/Size:/ {print$2}'| head -n 1 | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: what wifi chip does it use? | 04:06 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: so i got sta-{source,common,} installed, but dkms fails with the same error that bcmwl-kernel-source did | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | ahh what is kernel # ? | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | uname -r | 04:06 |
| genewitch | 3.5.0-18 | 04:06 |
| genewitch | 3.5.0-18-generic | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | headers are installed ? | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, ^^ | 04:06 |
| genewitch | yes. should i purge them, bobweaver | 04:06 |
| bobweaver | yeah purge and re-install headers and then re-start computer (better then re-build kernel to fix bug) cough cough gentoo | 04:07 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| bobweaver | genewitch, you can also add mods that are not added to kernel 'sudo modprobe <name of mod>' | 04:09 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: i know that, but wl doesn't exist | 04:09 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: also, did the purge remove and reboot, still same error | 04:09 |

| chubz | if i upgrade my ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 will my ssh key i generated change? | 04:10 |
| genewitch | chubz: for sshd or your RSA/DSA key | 04:10 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. | 04:10 |
| genewitch | i.e. the .pem file | 04:10 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: yeah, that's the error that i came in here to fix | 04:11 |
| genewitch | oh so many hours ago | 04:11 |
| genewitch | okay like 2 but still | 04:11 |
| chubz | genewitch: wait... so if i upgrade the ssh key i generated will be gone? i need my key cause its tied to some github repos. | 04:11 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, what are you doing with kernel ? | 04:11 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, http://askubuntu.com/questions/89542/how-to-build-the-mainline-kernel-source-package | 04:11 |
| chubz | genewitch: didn't really understand your response | 04:11 |
| genewitch | chubz: if you upgrade you won't lose your private key, it's in ~/.ssh/id_rsa | 04:12 |
| genewitch | chubz: or another file ending in .pem in that folder. | 04:12 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: i'm not doing anythign with the kernel, the apt-get upgrade just update it and broke this | 04:12 |
| genewitch | bobweaver: once again, if i am going to be compiling a kernel, why am i using ubuntu. A valid answer to my question would be "reinstall and don't let it upgrade" | 04:13 |
| chubz | how do i even upgrade my ubuntu? i'm on 12.04 right now. shouldn't i be able to update through update manager? it doesn't show up for me o.o | 04:13 |
| bobweaver | genewitch, upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ? | 04:13 |
| genewitch | chubz: i do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | chubz: your OS is told to only look for LTS releases | 04:14 |
| bobweaver | like that type of upgrade or jsut a sudo at-get upgrade | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | chubz: so you need to tell it not to and it will see quantal | 04:14 |

| bobweaver | weird | 04:16 |

| ActionParsnip | genewitch: are there bugs reported for the 3.5.0-17 kernel and broadcom? | 04:16 |
| genewitch | because i can find out what it removed and put it back | 04:16 |
| chubz | ActionParsnip: thanks | 04:16 |
| genewitch | ActionParsnip: dunno, the help.ubuntu.com stuff is just a loop. i don't know where to actually search for bugs. and it would be a 3.5.0-18 bug not a 17 | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-card-bcm43xx/217616#217616 seems to mention the 3.5.0.017 | 04:17 |

| bobweaver | /etc/hosts is a file | 04:22 |
| Heather_ | ActionParsnip thanks thats what I was looking for | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | genewitch: its just to access more ram, but each process wil only see 3.2Gb ram :) | 04:22 |

| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: I have no idea. | 05:06 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: The issue was here before I upgraded at all. | 05:07 |

| extropy | D2700 allegedly doesn't support 64-bit even though it has EMT64 extension. I believe this is because Intel's GMA graphics don't suport it. | 05:08 |

| bobweaver | extropy, ^^ | 05:16 |
| extropy | think I'll just wait for John Carmack to release a new tech engine and use the old one for free xD | 05:16 |
| bobweaver | extropy, we can only pray that UDK sees that valve and unity 4 are here so kwhy not UDK | 05:16 |
| bobweaver | s|kwhy | why | 05:17 |

| noliverh | hello | 05:25 |
| noliverh | how to switch from one channel to other? | 05:26 |
| noliverh | im using irssi now | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: have you joined other channels? | 05:26 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: after i joined to another channel, i cannot see other channels anymore | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: you can use ALT + number to switch between joined channels | 05:27 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: okies... | 05:27 |
| seednode | What IRc client are they using? | 05:27 |
| seednode | Oh, irssi | 05:27 |
| seednode | I prefer weechat | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: if you are targetted in a channel, you will see a pink highlight in the bottom left | 05:28 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5a1c54de9ff527595f655dc25760be8174f7fe15 | 05:28 |
| vikasjain | @ActionParsnip finally my eclipse works | 05:28 |
| vikasjain | @ActionParsnip thanks a lot | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Samizdat: see how the alsa driver is different | 05:28 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: i will try... switching from other channels | 05:28 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: Yes, but the same audio problem. | 05:29 |
| extropy | If Intel advertises the fact that their Atom chips are 64-bit but don't support 64-bit OS' can Atom buyers sue them for false advertising? | 05:29 |
| xrs1 | can i sue Atari for selling me a Jaguar? | 05:29 |
| Samizdat | extropy: Anybody can sue anybody for anything. | 05:30 |
| extropy | you can if they mislead you into buying it I suppose | 05:30 |
| NSAgent | How so? The CPU is 64 bit, the chipset and BIOS probably aren't | 05:30 |
| extropy | Intel's excuse: "we don't want Atom supplanting sales of Celeron and Core i3" :T | 05:30 |
| xigate | hi im newbie | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: are you using the USB audio? | 05:31 |
| xrs1 | aparently you dont remember the Atari Jaguar "Do the Math" commercials. blasted you will how it was a 64bit system (in reality it was a dual 32bit processor system that split the instruction set in half) | 05:31 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: nope | 05:31 |
| vikasjain | @ActionParsnip i am unable to open it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376495/ is the error | 05:31 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: what is that? | 05:31 |
| extropy | huh, crazy | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: sorry, wrong target | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Samizdat: do you use the usb audio? | 05:31 |
| Samizdat | I'm trying to. | 05:32 |
| extropy | I feel like Microsoft is behind this somehow | 05:32 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: ^ | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Samizdat: tried a different USB port? | 05:32 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: Yes, same. | 05:32 |
| xrs1 | USB Legacy Support enabled in BIOS? | 05:32 |
| xigate | woow mazing | 05:32 |
| xrs1 | disable onboard audio? | 05:33 |
| xigate | gavin : hi | 05:33 |
| xigate | u ask me? | 05:33 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: I used it with Ubuntu 12.04, had issues with 12.10 until I changed to kernel 3.6.2 | 05:33 |
| xigate | my dell n4050 have wireles problem | 05:34 |
| noliverh | ActionParsnip: can i open other irc server aside this freenode? | 05:34 |
| Samizdat | ActionParsnip: I then switched to openSUSE and the problems came back. I installed Kubuntu 12.10 this morning and have been fighting with it all day. | 05:34 |
| noliverh | i mean two server at a time? | 05:34 |
| Samizdat | noliverh: Ofc, if your client allows it. | 05:34 |
| extropy | is there a way to throw a new kernel on *while* installing Ubuntu from scratch so I can actually boot the machine once it's done installing? | 05:34 |
| noliverh | at the same time Samizdat ? | 05:35 |
| xrs1 | install the linux headers before you reboot? | 05:35 |
| noliverh | Samizdat: how? | 05:35 |
| NSAgent | Linux headers are not the kernel | 05:35 |
| Samizdat | I'm on two servers right now, noliverh. | 05:35 |
| extropy | omg, I just realized the problems I having are probably just graphics related | 05:35 |
| extropy | how can I skip trying to support my graphics hardware before an appropriate driver can be installed? | 05:35 |
| Samizdat | noliverh: What client are you using? | 05:36 |
| xigate | gavin : like my nighbour name lol | 05:37 |
| zizo | how installing ubuntu with windows in same hard disk | 05:38 |

| ms_ | first, I can't change my background. | 05:46 |
| xrs1 | sudo apt-get install skype | 05:46 |
| xangua | sudaya: sudo apt-get install skype (you need partner repository enabled) or download it from skype.com | 05:46 |
| xrs1 | right click on desktop -> Desktop settings -> "+" | 05:46 |
| sudaya | xrs1: xangua i have download .deb file | 05:46 |
| ms_ | second, when I shut down, it shows me:"session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown" | 05:46 |
| xrs1 | open the .deb with Ubuntu Software Center | 05:47 |

| xrs1 | have u enabled your software sources? | 05:48 |
| sudaya | xrs1: YEAH | 05:48 |
| xangua | sudaya: i have no problems with skype installed from software center | 05:49 |
| xrs1 | i'd just forget the .deb and open Ubuntu Software Center and install the one in there then | 05:49 |
| sudaya | xrs1: i have also tried it first as u said but get same message dependecny skype-bin not found | 05:49 |
| DND | hi guys i need help with dual booting ubuntu and windows 7 | 05:50 |
| xrs1 | let me try installing | 05:50 |
| sudaya | xrs1: sure thank you | 05:50 |
| almoxarife | !skype | 05:50 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 05:50 |
| DND | the problem is my PC came with preinstalled OS. and i can see there are 4 partitions in windows. 2 system partitions, 1 partition(c drive) and one recovery partition | 05:51 |
| DND | now i tried shrinking C: drive then booted to ubuntu CD. but ubuntu cannot make me use the shrinked partition | 05:51 |
| xrs1 | do you have a system restore disk for the computer? | 05:52 |
| DND | xrs1, yes the recovery partition | 05:52 |
| xrs1 | no an actaul disk | 05:52 |
| sudaya | ubottu: i have tried already | 05:52 |
| ubottu | sudaya: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:52 |
| DND | 2 system parition is around 100mb each | 05:52 |
| sudaya | xrs1: for ubuntu ? or windows | 05:52 |
| DND | cd? i just made one yesterday because i dont want to destroy the partitions without recovery cd | 05:53 |
| wingy | when you use curl -F subscribed=True, what is True equivalent in a programming language .. is it the boolean true or the string "True" ? | 05:53 |
| xrs1 | that came with the computer in case that recovery partition got erased | 05:53 |
| xrs1 | or if you decided to upgrade / replace the hard drive | 05:53 |
| DND | its an HP elite 8200. but im not sure what will be the behavior if i erased the recovery partition | 05:53 |
| DND | if i erased it, will the cd be dependent on it or not | 05:54 |
| xrs1 | you wont be able to use the Direct2Disk recovery thats in there | 05:54 |
| xrs1 | you will need to download updates from the manufacturer (you should any way, the ones in the recovery partition are old) | 05:54 |
| sudaya | xrs1: is skype working on ur system ?? | 05:55 |
| xrs1 | its installing | 05:55 |
| DND | can i delete at least 1 system partition? its only 100 mb | 05:55 |
| xrs1 | leave that one | 05:55 |
| almoxarife | sudaya: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 05:55 |
| xrs1 | oh you have 2 100MB | 05:55 |
| almoxarife | sudaya: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' | 05:55 |
| xrs1 | time to ask in ##windows | 05:56 |
| DND | yep | 05:56 |
| DND | im going there now | 05:56 |
| DND | thanks | 05:56 |
| sudaya | almoxarife: for what ?? | 05:56 |

| almoxarife | noliverh: install one, pick one | 06:12 |
| noliverh | almoxarife: like? | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | noliverh: the server is cli for a good few reasons. If you install screen, you can switch easily | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ms_: in what way are they not working? | 06:13 |
| noliverh | im already using screen... | 06:13 |

| almoxarife | noliverh: kde is always a good one, but you might want something lighter, xfce? | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ms_: try running it from a terminal | 06:13 |

| praveenmarkandu | i was using gnome-shell though | 06:17 |
| praveenmarkandu | but now i just installed 12.10 and i cant see that anymore | 06:17 |
| praveenmarkandu | was the gvfs just a gnome-shell thing? | 06:17 |
| praveenmarkandu | or has it completely been removed from 12.10 | 06:18 |
| praveenmarkandu | i can still see it via nautilus | 06:18 |
| praveenmarkandu | but i was to script | 06:18 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: you may need to re-install gvfs | 06:18 |
| praveenmarkandu | oh | 06:19 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: i am assuming the gvfs package is not there or the service is not starting | 06:19 |
| praveenmarkandu | almoxarife: oh okay | 06:19 |
| praveenmarkandu | will try. ubuntu 12.10 is being crap with my wifi again. | 06:20 |

| vikasjain | @ActionParsnip i ran this /usr/bin/eclipse same error | 06:36 |
| almoxarife | sudaya: at this rate it may be easier to use the 'remote desktop' util of 'chromium/chrome' | 06:37 |
| sudaya | almoxarife: can remote desktop of chromium be used as teamviewer ?? | 06:38 |
| almoxarife | sudaya: chrome on both ends work as remote desktops, teamviewer is not needed | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: 9 times out of 10, people automatically reach for VNC / Teamviewer when usually it's not needed and there are sleeker solutions. | 06:39 |
| sudaya | almoxarife: let me try it thank you for ur suggestion | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: I like to give the sleeker solutions | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: even had one guy state that he VNC'd to a server then launched a terminal.... | 06:40 |

| praveenmarkandu | almoxarife: i cant find a path to the MTP device. used to be via the ~/.gvfs folder | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | g00053: what is the OS for? | 06:49 |
| g00053 | 12.10 | 06:49 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: looked in /media/?? | 06:50 |
| rinzler | My ssh server is changing it's rsa key each time it identifies to the network. any way to prevent this? | 06:50 |
| g00053 | i've got a 64gb ssd and a 1thb hdd with about half the space left . Currently my / and /home are on the ssd with a swap and i find I don't have enough space in /home | 06:51 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: the mtp is hardwired to the box, yes? | 06:52 |
| g00053 | would it be okay to move /home to a partition on the hdd | 06:52 |
| g00053 | and just use the ssd for root fold | 06:52 |
| g00053 | er | 06:52 |
| nowayride | g00053: there shouldn't be any issues with that, does your 1tb have space to partition? | 06:52 |
| almoxarife | g00053: yes, but there are some steps to get it completed correctly | 06:52 |
| praveenmarkandu | almoxarife: not in /media. yes MTP device is connected via cable | 06:53 |
| g00053 | i've got another drive i can back up data to and do a fresh install ...this one is only a few days old | 06:53 |
| g00053 | I'd like to partition a little better | 06:53 |
| g00053 | not sure how to handle the swap | 06:54 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: /mount/?? | 06:54 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: no idea :) | 06:54 |
| nowayride | g00053: what do you mean not sure how to handle, you want to mount swap to the 1tb too? | 06:55 |
| praveenmarkandu | lol. from what i've read, mtp devices are "virtual | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | g00053: put swap /var and /home on the platter based drive and the rest on the SSD :) | 06:56 |
| praveenmarkandu | they arent associated with a block in /dev | 06:56 |
| rinzler | My ssh server is changing it's rsa key each time it identifies to the network. any way to prevent this? | 06:56 |
| nowayride | rinzler: is the key actually changing or are you losing your local ~/.ssh/known_keys file? | 06:57 |
| rinzler | nowayride: it's changing. I just rebooted my router, and my ssh client warned me about a man in the middle attack | 06:57 |

| nowayride | Hmm | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | im looking for an rss notifier every time something new comes out, any package can do this automaticly? | 06:58 |
| g00053 | nowayride, for whatever reason i have one on both drives ...i | 06:58 |
| aqian | hello | 06:58 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: they have to mount somewhere, are you sure you got the packages in the new install to read/write to mtp? | 06:58 |
| g00053 | 'm not sure if thats right | 06:58 |
| g00053 | or how big it should be | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: add omgubuntu rss, those guys seem on the ball | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: also webupd8 | 06:59 |
| nowayride | So it warns you when you connect externally to the box behind the router then (basically, the IP you SSH to changed) | 06:59 |
| Dynamit | win 36 | 06:59 |
| Dynamit | lol missed / | 06:59 |
| g00053 | ActionParsnip, I don't think ubuntu seperates var by default? whats the benefit ? | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: I use feedindicator for RSS :) | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: i mean a package where i can add osn rss feeds of my choice to auto rss the feeds | 06:59 |
| almoxarife | lotuspsychje: thunderbird should, google reader does | 06:59 |
| rinzler | nowayride: The server's IP doesn't change. It's set as a static. | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:does feedindicator auto show? | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | g00053: not by default, but it can. /var holds a lot of temp stuff like logs and debs, you don't need those cluttering your SSD and using write cycles | 07:00 |
| rinzler | nowayride: (also, I tend to miss things if i | 07:00 |

| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:cool! lemme check that1 out, what other indicator packages u got ( i installed old style gnome monitor indicator yesterday) | 07:01 |
| nowayride | rinzler: I realized I missed it when I was sending it :( so your server doesn't change but you reset your home router? This isn't all locally right? | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | g00053: also, move your web cache to ramdisk to make it fast as well as not use your HDD at all :) | 07:01 |
| g00053 | okay fair enough would you recommend Raid 0 at all ? | 07:01 |
| rinzler | nowayride: what do you mean by locally? | 07:02 |
| g00053 | i can see that chrome keeps a large cache but i'm unsure what ram disk is | 07:02 |

| ActionParsnip | g00053: its a disk space...in ram | 07:02 |
| nowayride | rinzler: The server you are SSHing into is not behind the same router you reset? | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:does that work for hotmail aswell? | 07:03 |
| rinzler | nowayride: it is. | 07:03 |
| * g00053 is googling :) | 07:03 | |
| g00053 | thanks! | 07:03 |
| nowayride | rinzler: Basically IP you SSH from hasn't changed, IP you SSH to hasn't changed, they are both static.. if so I wouldn't think the RSA key would change | 07:04 |
| rinzler | nowayride: my thoughts exactly. I DO, however have the server set up to use passwordless entry... (can't remember the name of it... | 07:04 |
| nowayride | rinzler: Public Key? | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: not sure, maybe | 07:06 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: you know correct packagename for feedindicator, cant find it, mine is indicator-multiload | 07:06 |

| lotuspsychje | !iptables | era878 | 07:09 |
| ubottu | era878: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

| praveenmarkandu | almoxarife: fyi. just to close the loop. found that gvfs has been moved to /run/user/<you>/gvfs/<complicated name> | 07:10 |

| nowayride | rinzler: And keys were not regenerated/removed on either machine? | 07:11 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: are you missing gvfs dir from your home folder? | 07:11 |
| rinzler | nowayride: none of the above | 07:11 |
| nowayride | rinzler: And you verified it's the server that's changing? | 07:12 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:omg what a nice app mate, tnx alot!! been looking for that long time | 07:12 |
| rinzler | nowayride: pretty durn | 07:13 |
| nowayride | rinzler: Because if your client's key file changed or you authenticate to a "new" host, it will ask you. If you authenticate to the same host and the key is different, I'm pretty sure it blocks you from connecting | 07:13 |
| rinzler | nowayride: yep. | 07:14 |
| rinzler | nowayride: that's my problem | 07:14 |
| nowayride | Which one, client preventing logon? | 07:15 |
| rinzler | nowayride: I can fix it, but I don't understand what the problem is to begin with | 07:15 |
| rinzler | nowayride: server changing keys | 07:15 |
| nowayride | rinzler: right, you can always grab the new key but it defeats the purpose of them. | 07:15 |
| rinzler | nowayride: yep. I don't know why the server changes keys | 07:16 |
| nowayride | rinzler: honestly nothing should be willingly changing authentication server side because that's a huge security risk, any custom scripts or cron jobs possibly? | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: yeah its not bad at all :) | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: add your local news too (bbc has nice rss feeds) | 07:16 |
| nowayride | rinzler: Or is there anything that triggers it? Is it always when you bounce your router? | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip:yeah i got tons of feeds, always used google reader, but those days are over now :p | 07:17 |
| rinzler | nowayride: I've got an rsync cron job on the client for backup, but nothing on the server. It usually triggers on a reboot, but it just triggered on a router reset | 07:17 |

| erkon | latest type of release | 09:19 |
| erkon | ok | 09:19 |
| iceroot | erkon: then there is another problem | 09:19 |
| iceroot | erkon: e.g. the netinstaller for 10.04 is connecting to the 10.04 repos | 09:19 |

| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:22 |
| iceroot | erkon: i will use this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 09:22 |
| erkon | yes I tried with that one | 09:23 |
| praveenmarkandu | almoxarife: not really. | 09:24 |
| praveenmarkandu | msx: huh? | 09:24 |
| praveenmarkandu | my power settings are fairlyy standard. in fact when my laptop is plugged into power (which it is now) it doesnt suspend or anything | 09:24 |
| erkon | iceroot: go with command line expert install, | 09:25 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: look at /var/log/syslog | 09:25 |
| almoxarife | praveenmarkandu: see if anything is obvious | 09:25 |
| erkon | and check if installer can download its components. This is where I fail. | 09:25 |

| Heather_ | OerHeks so parity is good for increasing perfomance? since three or more discs work to store the information one disc would otherwise do itself? | 11:07 |
| OerHeks | Heather, parity is an index, if one drive fails, parity can recreate the drive | 11:08 |
| Heather_ | oh okay | 11:08 |
| OerHeks | so that would be raid 5, if i recall correct. | 11:08 |

| iceroot | ms_: michael@bestbuntu:~$ which unrar | 12:00 |
| iceroot | /usr/bin/unrar | 12:00 |
| iceroot | ms_: please use the unrar from ubuntu and not your installed version, we dont support that version | 12:00 |
| iceroot | ms_: sudo apt-get install unrar | 12:00 |
| ms_ | Mechdave, iceroot, sudo apt-get install unrar-free | 12:00 |
| Mechdave | ms_, may be better to purge the unrar you have and install the one from the Ubuntu repository. sudo apt-get install unrar | 12:02 |
| iceroot | ms_: unrar-free is not installing there | 12:02 |
| iceroot | ms_: /usr/bin/unrar-free | 12:02 |
| iceroot | ms_: see also "dpkg -L unrar-free" | 12:02 |

| tmba | tarzeau_: normal that its more laggy in 12.10 compared to 12.04? | 12:49 |
| Walex2 | roger21: often you can, but the big question is whether there is indeed a defect. It is likely, but first check the log. | 12:49 |

| dr_willis | S3/SiS stuff is well.. about the worse hardware you can get when it comes to the company supporting linux. ;( | 12:52 |
| phasma | dr_willis: heh, yeah. It really is :( | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | phasma: the askubuntu.com site and the forums - maygive some tips. | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | the odds of some one in here at any given time having SIS is low. ;) Lucky for us | 12:53 |
| phasma | dr_willis: been there, tried that. Tried -numerous "solutions" - None have worked so far | 12:53 |
| phasma | funny thing is that it -is- possible. Mandriva have an sisimedia driver that mostly works | 12:54 |
| roger21 | so er what should i do? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | phasma: potential issue ive seen is that some times some fix's - if they dont work.. break the other fixs you may try... | 12:57 |
| phasma | dr_willis: yeah, ditto. It's high time sis released at least -something- - hell, they don't even have an up to date driver for windows, heh | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | im honestly suprised SiS Even is still in business | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | Havent heard much about Matrox lately either. | 13:01 |
| Relaed | I sorted it out. | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | I will have to report that the Netflix for Linux PPA package seems to be working very well for me. It just keeps wanting to open on the wrong monitor. ;) | 13:05 |

| roger21 | let start over, i can't update my ubuntu it get stuck to "(Reading database ... 50%" and then "dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: reading files list for package 'evince': Input/output error" what can i do ? | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | phasma: been seeing some neat reaviews of the latest Chromebooks hacked to run Ubuntu. ;) if i dident allready have 2 netbooks and a laptop.. id consider one. ;P | 13:06 |
| phasma | dr_willis: haha, yeah. i was reading about that just a few days ago, too | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | roger21: io error imples the filesystem or hardware issues with the HD. i would start by fscking the filesystems form a live cd. | 13:06 |
| phasma | dr_willis: this might interest you: http://www.saurik.com/id/10 | 13:07 |
| roger21 | dr_willis, what command do you sudgest ? | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 13:09 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 13:09 |

| roger21 | dr_willis, ok i just did a forcefsck for now, do you now where i can check the result? | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | like the factoid says.. it will force a fsck at the next reboot.. it will print some messages | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | or from a live cd terminal - sudo fsck /dev/sdaX or whatever fs i want to check ;) | 13:14 |

| dr_willis | theres some extra package in the repos i belive you need Shinobi_ | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | and you may need to whitelist it for the systray to allow it. | 13:27 |

| Rexter | In Gnome 3 I'd like to customize my Firefox icon, how can it be changed? | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | Rexter: one way. make a custome .desktop file that defines your own icon. | 13:29 |
| Rexter | dr_willis, where would I put that? | 13:30 |
| Shinobi_ | dr_willis: I added xchat-indicator, but it doesn't appear to do anything. Do you know the name of another package? I've googled but it always seems to come up with the aformentioned package. | 13:30 |
| whathemeow | ok | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | same location as where firefox.desktop is at for system wide ussage. | 13:31 |

| iceroot | Marenz: debian/changelog that entry there will be the package-version with ubuntu and so on | 14:05 |
| iceroot | Marenz: that string there is used to create the packagename/version | 14:05 |
| Marenz | iceroot, well, yes I know, but dch always appends "ubuntuX" when I do dch -i. can I stop it from doing that? | 14:06 |

| XRS1 | you need to backup your data | 14:24 |
| AppleJuice | tritonx, You can do that if you have your /home directory on another partition. Have you? | 14:24 |
| Rexter | Does anyone know if there is a way to see the location of applications that are pined to Docky? | 14:24 |
| tritonx | no but I could copy it | 14:24 |
| XRS1 | ^ unless /home is elsewhere | 14:24 |
| tritonx | so everything should be in my /home folder | 14:25 |

| ccsteale | CrAzYWolF, you will need to place it before the exit 0 | 14:27 |

| Ubuntuuser | Anyone? | 14:28 |
| ccsteale | bluegrass, what video card are you using? the drivers may be in the ubuntu repo's else you can donwload the binary/soruce from the hardware vendors website | 14:29 |
| sioli | yeah, is this moment i are use ubuntu 12.04, my laptop,is very faster core i5 6gb ram, is kernel 3,5 its much better. | 14:29 |
| XRS1 | additional drivers or use Ubuntu Software Center for the .deb u get from their website | 14:29 |
| bluegrass | ccsteale may i perhaps find out through a simple & easy cli command? 83 | 14:29 |
| Rexter | sioli, if you want the latest and greatest, and don't mind upgrading is a couple of years, go with 12.10. If you want stability, and longevity, go with 12.04 | 14:29 |
| sioli | in my case,absolutely. | 14:29 |
| ccsteale | you can use dmidecode to find out hardware information | 14:30 |
| XRS1 | i personally recommend Ubuntu Studio 12.10 :) | 14:30 |
| sioli | yeah Rexter,my ubuntu 12,10 this cool,very good. | 14:30 |
| ccsteale | bluegrass, or you can use lspci which should tell you the vendor name laso | 14:31 |

| Guest9915 | yes | 14:48 |
| ccsteale | p0rk, is this in a laptop/desktop/server? id advise pulling the drive our and back in and checking what dmesg as to say to see if it picks the drives up and if it does it seems like its going to be a driver issue, most likley no support from the kernel for the drives which is why it drops back to grub shell | 14:48 |
| Guest9915 | ccsteale, yes it's set to boot from cd beforee hhd | 14:48 |

| ccsteale | Guest9915, what ouput do you get from screen or does the server not even get to the point of booting the cd? Can you take a picture of the screen where it fails and send it to me somehow so I can advise, also if your server supports usb booting I would advise doing that rather than cd but thats just a matter of opinion but ubuntu supports both, try usb for time being | 14:50 |

| zucaro | ccsteale, after i have installed the daemon how do I enable the webui? start the transmission-remote process? | 15:11 |
| ccsteale | v0lksman, ahh okay my apologies i misread the query - for the network adapter to pick up the link it will do that automatically and the interface doesnt need restarting, if the drivers enable then and the interface is being picked up it seems more likley to be an issue coming into the nic | 15:12 |
| ccsteale | zucaro, run the command sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon | 15:13 |
| ccsteale | zucaro, I would advise running that in a screen session if it is on a headless box but if not then that should be good to go | 15:13 |
| zucaro | oh i think its working, getting a 403 error now... will google how to add myself to whitelist | 15:14 |
| ccsteale | zucaro, in the settings.json there is the line rcp-whitelist - add your ip in there :) | 15:14 |
| ccsteale | zucaro, rpc* sorry | 15:14 |
| v0lksman | So here's the story: Lenovo server with 3 NICs, 1 e1000 and 2 igb (i350). If I build the system and use the e1000 interface during the build the 2 i350 interfaces will never light up with link after the install is complete. If I use one of the i350 interfaces during the install it stays lit and functional after the install but the other i350 interface won't light up. The e1000 is fine no matter what. This behaviour is reproducable. Any thoug | 15:15 |
| SunMoonStar | Hi guys. Quick q. I made a .desktop file to launch an application and used xdg-desktop-menu install in the command line to add it to the dash.

| ccsteale | p0rk, could always try doing that, it would most likley fix the issue, but i hate being defeated by a bad install :P one last effort - try grub-update /dev/sda | 15:27 |

| SunMoonStar | nobody's run into my problem? >_< | 15:36 |
| Eagleman | I am trying to transfer our CVS program to another machine, but i am having problems with importing the passwd file. it just refuses to read it and so it only allows the user root | 15:36 |
| p0rk | ccsteale, this is only a test case anyway until i get new drives where i have to reinstall everything again | 15:36 |
| p0rk | so i dont mind reinstalling ubuntu, especially because i used 12.04, now ill use 12.10 | 15:36 |
| ccsteale | Eagleman, you'll need to change the ownership of the file | 15:37 |
| ccsteale | Eagleman, or if the program only needs to read the file run the command chmod 755 <filename> | 15:37 |
| Eagleman | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root Software 403 Sep 27 07:42 passwd | 15:38 |
| ccsteale | is the software running as the software user? | 15:38 |
| Eagleman | cvsd 1134 0.0 0.1 1736 480 ? SNs Nov16 0:00 /usr/sbin/cvsd -f /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf | 15:39 |
| ccsteale | Eagleman, in shell, run the command whoami | 15:39 |
| Eagleman | well i am logged in as root | 15:40 |
| Eagleman | so i am root | 15:40 |
| ccsteale | ahh okay, is the config file pointing at the correct file? sounds like a location issue rather than permissions | 15:40 |
| Eagleman | CVSROOT is in /cvs/CVSROOT | 15:41 |

| Eagleman | ccsteale on our other server i see this when ps aux | grep cvs | 15:43 |
| Eagleman | 10089 9090 18.5 0.0 2732 900 ? Ss 16:43 0:00 cvs server | 15:43 |
| Eagleman | 10089 9091 34.5 0.0 2736 872 ? R 16:43 0:00 cvs server | 15:43 |
| ccsteale | Eagleman, can you paste the exact command and error in http://www.dpaste.org/ so i cant take a look | 15:44 |
| Eagleman | WHich command? | 15:44 |
| ccsteale | the command your running to start the cvs application where you reported it wont read the password file | 15:44 |
| Eagleman | Thats the problem cvs is so vague, i dont even know how i started it. its not working like a normal deamon | 15:45 |
| ccsteale | on the orignal server can you login as root and run history? hopefully that might tell you how you initially got it started | 15:46 |
| darrenlooby | Hi Guys, anyone know how to install php5.2 - I need it for a short while, so I have time to update site to newer version (old bit of code causing issues) | 15:47 |
| Eagleman | ccsteale its like 5 years old or even more, history wont help me :( | 15:47 |
| TheLordOfTime | darrenlooby, which version of ubuntu are you on? | 15:47 |
| darrenlooby | Ubuntu 12.04 - TheLordOfTime | 15:49 |
| lucido | hi, at boot time my pc says waiting for network configuration for a long time, I have lan cable connected and router is set up fine. When I log in the nm-applet is missing and I can get network connection by executing sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart | 15:49 |
| darrenlooby | It's a fresh install too - so PHP not currently on there | 15:49 |
| lucido | its ubuntu 12.10 | 15:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | darrenlooby, there's no PHP 5.2 package for Ubuntu 12.04, someone'd have to retroactively port php 5.2 to 12.04, and that's not happening because 5.2 is *old* | 15:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | like beyond old | 15:50 |
| darrenlooby | Hmm... so not possible to install from binary? | 15:50 |
| darrenlooby | What's the newest version of Ubuntu I can install 5.2 on? | 15:50 |
| ccsteale | Eagleman, on the old/current server where cvs is running do ps -f | 15:51 |
| ccsteale | or ps -auxf either one - Eagleman | 15:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | darrenlooby, no clue, i'd have to check | 15:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | darrenlooby, what're you using that uses php 5.2? 5.2's at the latest in 8.04 and nothing else | 15:53 |
| === johnny5_ is now known as zoneout83 | ||
| TheLordOfTime | darrenlooby, 5.3.x or 5.4.x in every other supported release since. | 15:53 |
| ccsteale | darrenlooby, are you familiar with compiling software from source? - if not I know that ubuntu 8 has it in it's repo's possibly 10 but i dont believe so | 15:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | ccsteale, 10.04 has the 5.3 series | 15:53 |
| darrenlooby | I've installed a couple of things from source - would that help me, to give that ago? | 15:53 |
| darrenlooby | It's a cloud sever, so no real harm in binning it if it goes wrong | 15:54 |
| zoneout83 | Is someone willing to help me with a wireless nic problem? I have a wusb100 I think v 1.0 and it only seems to work until I reach about 12mb of bandwidth then I have to disconnect and reconnect. | 15:54 |
| ccsteale | Yeah you'll be able to install 5.2 from source | 15:54 |
| darrenlooby | Right, I'll tut myself up and give that ago then ccsteale - and come back with my tail between my legs when it goes wrong lol | 15:55 |

| merica | same drive is recognized in my laptop | 15:55 |

| GlitterBoy | How do I configure Ubuntu 11.10 for optimal power savings for a HP6910p laptop with a Intel GM965 chipset | 15:55 |
| zoneout83 | I installed all my updates already via a long line of disconnect reconnect... | 15:56 |
| ccsteale | darrenlooby, another thing you can try but it might not work/be amazingly unstable is use the karmic repo's on ubuntu 10 but compiling from source is the way to go and a hell of a lot more fun | 15:56 |
| merica | lsusb and dmesg don't even register that the drive is plugged in | 15:56 |
| darrenlooby | ccsteale, lol cheers, I'll take note of that :D | 15:56 |
| ccsteale | merica, problem might be with the connection, can you try plugging it into a different machine and seeing if it's picked up? | 15:57 |
| zoneout83 | I am running ubuntu 12.04 lts I believe... | 15:57 |
| ccsteale | darrenlooby, good luck :D | 15:57 |
| Pip | So is ubuntu more and more sophisticated as Windows now? | 15:57 |
| merica | ccsteale: the drive does work in my laptop, ubuntu 12.10 mounts it automatically | 15:57 |
| merica | just not on the desktop | 15:57 |
| bazhang | Pip, thats not a support question | 15:57 |
| merica | i tried, multiple ports, same thing | 15:57 |
| Pip | lol | 15:58 |
| ccsteale | Pip, depends what you mean by sophisticated? its a damn lot coold :D and true what bazhang said | 15:58 |
| merica | i know the drive works, and i know the usb ports work | 15:58 |
| bazhang | Pip, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:58 |
| merica | becuase i have bt, webcam, keyboard, plugged into them | 15:58 |
| Pip | What I mean by sophisticated is that when ubuntu is broken, nobody knows how to fix it | 15:58 |
| zoneout83 | Pip: as far as I have been concerned it's better than windows but it takes a little more time to manage because not as many companies put time in creating drivers or go out of their way to support it. | 15:58 |
| ccsteale | merica, are the ports usb 1/2? may be an issue there? | 15:58 |
| zoneout83 | sorry bazhang | 15:59 |
| merica | i tried ALL the ports! | 15:59 |
| zoneout83 | bazhang, didn't know... | 15:59 |
| merica | usb 1,2,3 | 15:59 |
| Heather_ | I'm going through apache2 access log and all the files for my site are loaded except .css files. the files are in the same location as the other files so it should not be permission issue? | 15:59 |

| sam_ | Hey I am having a problem I may need some assistance if you can help? | 16:00 |
| merica | strange | 16:00 |
| ccsteale | sam_, how can we help sam | 16:00 |
| merica | wat is problem? | 16:00 |
| ccsteale | merica, anything in syslog/messages? | 16:00 |
| ccsteale | Heather_, anything in the error log? can you go direcetly to the .css files via browser? | 16:01 |
| sam_ | I am trying to download GIMP, a photo-shop like program, and when I try to download from the software centre It says, "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." | 16:03 |
| a_b0y | i heard win8 is great because everything just works | 16:04 |
| merica | ccsteale: don't see anything in syslog | 16:04 |
| merica | maybe some audio issues | 16:04 |
| ccsteale | sam_, have you ammended your sources.lsit file with non standard repo's? I wouldn't advise installing from unauthenticated sources but it should install fine | 16:04 |
| Heather_ | ccsteale yes I can access the .css file through the browser | 16:04 |
| Simurg | Hi! | 16:04 |
| Simurg | Is unity more resource hungry then kde (kubuntu)? | 16:04 |
| MonkeyDust | sam_ they may be plugins from third parties | 16:05 |
| Heather_ | might be something with the header since the css file is present there | 16:05 |
| Simurg | I saw a benchmarking today, claiming so. | 16:05 |
| ccsteale | MonkeyDust, thats what I was thinking aswell | 16:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | Simurg, not that i know of, but if resources are an issue, look at Lubuntu or Xubuntu. | 16:05 |
| InspectorCluseau | sam_, I'm dl'ing gimp right noe with muon ... no warnings at all. | 16:05 |
| xomniverse | I am using Xubuntu 12.10 and when I am playing a game full screen in DOSBox, for some reason it assumes I am idle and tries to go to a blank screen after 10 minutes. Strangely, in the middle of this process, it realizes that is not the case and brings the screen back. | 16:05 |
| Simurg | I tried both and unity seemed better, never tried KDE though. | 16:05 |
| xomniverse | This is disruptive of my game though. | 16:06 |
| Simurg | I hear you need to have its native programs to get more out of it. | 16:06 |
| Simurg | Ones with obsessed with letter K, I heard. | 16:06 |
| ccsteale | Heather_, cant imagine why can you try run the command cat access.log | grep .css - see if that returns anything | 16:06 |
| Simurg | *-with | 16:06 |
| sam_ | My friend was able to download it fine he didn't know what was wrong. | 16:06 |
| zoneout83 | how do I install the ndiswrapper | 16:07 |

| zoneout83 | *linux | 16:07 |
| Heather_ | ccsteale problem solved linux is case sensetive windows is not | 16:07 |
| ccsteale | zoneout83, depending on what kernel version you are using will depend if its built into the kernel by default run the command ndiswrapper-dkms; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper - after that it should work fine as that will enable th nescessary kernel module | 16:08 |
| ccsteale | Heather_, glad its sorted :) | 16:08 |
| zoneout83 | ccsteale thanks | 16:10 |
| zoneout83 | ccsteale be back at you in a couple minutes... | 16:10 |
| zoneout83 | 12.04 btw | 16:10 |
| xomniverse | anyone else had issues with Ubuntu or Xubuntu assuming you are idle when using DOSBox and thus trying to make the screen go blank/screensaver? | 16:10 |
| ccsteale | zoneout83, ive done that before on 12.04, any problems let me know | 16:10 |
| zoneout83 | sam_ did you try sudo apt-get install gimp | 16:11 |
| sam_ | My friend was able to download it fine he didn't know what was wrong. Thanks y'all. | 16:12 |
| zoneout83 | sam_, did that work? | 16:12 |
| llutz | sam_: you need to import the repo-signing-key for the repository you download gimp from | 16:12 |
| sam_ | zoneout83, it is working. | 16:14 |
| zoneout83 | ccsteale, unable to locate the ndiswrapper | 16:16 |
| v0lksman | to which directory should I build kernel modules? | 16:16 |
| sam_ | it worked thanks | 16:16 |
| v0lksman | /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ doesn't persist after a reboot | 16:17 |
| GlitterBoy | hello | 16:17 |
| p0rk | if i choose to install kvm during install, does it boot differently from a normal install? | 16:18 |
| zoneout83 | sam_ glad that worked keep in mind llutz is probably more familar | 16:18 |

| bc81 | hello. i'm using 12.04, and trying to get games working on pogo.com in firefox and/or chrome. no luck whatsoever; i've tried just about every java jre & browser plugin i could find..any suggestions to get this working? | 16:21 |
| bazhang | zoneout83, ndisgtk? | 16:21 |
| lucido | how can I get rid of the waiting for network configuration at boot? | 16:22 |
| merica | apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-dkms | 16:22 |
| * bc81 wonders if there is come magical combination of java & flash to play these browser games.. | 16:22 | |
| merica | apt-get install dnsiwrapper-utils-1.9 | 16:23 |
| zoneout83 | merica, thanks just got there with a google *feels sheepish* | 16:23 |
| merica | apt-cache search ndiswrapper | 16:24 |
| zoneout83 | merica, does that work on all package searches? | 16:24 |
| v0lksman | why do my kernel modules get overwritten on reboot? | 16:24 |
| merica | try it out and see | 16:24 |
| zoneout83 | wth was that? | 16:25 |
| merica | ? | 16:25 |
| zoneout83 | the spam... | 16:25 |
| rm-fr | merica: probably because you're not loading them upon boot? | 16:25 |
| auronandace | !modules | v0lksman | 16:26 |
| ubottu | v0lksman: To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist | 16:26 |
| merica | wut | 16:26 |
| zoneout83 | merica, I know it does I did learn a new command though ;) | 16:26 |
| ccsteale | v0lksman, why dont you build them into the kernel rather than having them as modules? | 16:26 |
| v0lksman | ccsteale: cause I'm just trying to see if they work to begin with | 16:26 |
| merica | cause then hed have to rebuild the kernel | 16:27 |
| rm-fr | why would you do that | 16:27 |
| zoneout83 | merica, I think there needs to be a help file associated with help apt that shows all the extensions like apt-get apt-cache ect | 16:27 |
| v0lksman | module-assistant: command not found | 16:28 |
| merica | man apt-cache | 16:28 |
| merica | man apt-get | 16:28 |
| auronandace | zoneout83: man apt | 16:28 |

| ccsteale | p0rk, might be lack of driver support in the 12.10 kernel, let me know if it works on 12.04 and let me know you drive types later and ill take a look at that | 16:49 |

| bazhang | bc81, works fine here. what version of Ubuntu are you on, and what java do you have installed | 16:51 |
| cosmicpearls | hi all | 16:51 |
| v0lksman | so what is module-assistant supposed to do for me? when I load it and go to select a module it doesn't show the module I just built | 16:51 |
| bc81 | bazhang, hello. i'm using xubuntu 12.04 (fully up-to-date) and have so many versions of java installed, i'm not sure how to find that out. java -version says: java version "1.7.0_09" | 16:52 |
| bazhang | bc81, its a bit slow to load; I've got Monopoly running no problems once it does load | 16:53 |
| Gnea | bc81: I would start by removing every version of java you have, particular if it was NOT installed via apt/synaptic/software center, and then remove those as well in the proper way | 16:53 |
| dcherniv | bc81, or use update-alternatives to pick the java version you want | 16:54 |
| zoneout83 | alright so I'm reading here and it says disable the free drivers but the config file doesn't seem to exist to add it to the blacklist | 16:54 |

| bazhang | !notunity | sambagirl | 17:02 |
| ubottu | sambagirl: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:02 |

| NCsaba | Hi all. I've a quick question: Can I create a bootable linux pen drive (xubuntu preferable) which can be a full functional, updateble, configurable system that is different then a live version. So changes need to be persistent, like kernel updates, eventually custom compiled kernels, etc... so any change I do on it should stay after a reboot. | 17:17 |
| Gnea | p0rk: ooooh.... well, you'd have to recreate it by hand... | 17:17 |
| NCsaba | it there a tool for that? | 17:17 |
| p0rk | :( | 17:17 |
| p0rk | its a brand new install, one disk, sda, normal partition | 17:17 |
| IdleOne | !usb | NCsaba Look at the second link | 17:17 |

| Gnea | p0rk: documentation is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 17:17 |
| Gnea | p0rk: oh good, that'll make the recreation easier | 17:18 |

| NCsaba | yes, I found this but http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/portablelinux gives 503 | 17:18 |

| Gnea | p0rk: that website will basically introduce you to each tool and how to use each tool in order to get the correct bits that you need to regenerate your fstab | 17:18 |
| cheesecakes | it was a kernel update i think | 17:18 |
| bekks | NCsaba: Thats a server error then. | 17:18 |

| cheesecakes | any suggestions? | 17:18 |

| belgianguy | zoneout83: regular usage, as was promised in 12.10 | 17:28 |
| SpaceRocket | Full disk encryption doesn't fully encrypt the disk as the /boot is still plain, which can be easily vulnerable | 17:28 |
| belgianguy | it's been pretty dissappointing tbh, while it shows much promise | 17:28 |
| cheesecakes | gnea: i think ratposion would too | 17:28 |

| Gnea | alessio: I highly doubt that, the specification of ID3 doesn't allow for such a large amount of textual information to be included. Do you know what version of ID3 it is using? | 17:33 |
| alessio | Gnea: you are probably right, it's not a proper ID3 tag | 17:36 |
| alessio | Gnea: http://id3.org/Lyrics3v2 | 17:36 |
| Gnea | alessio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetAudio#Lyric_support Yeah, it says right there: "JetAudio uses Cowon’s proprietary lyric tag format rather than the standard Lyrics3v2. As such, files tagged with the Lyrics3 format are not compatible with the lyric viewing function of JetAudio, and conversely, applications supporting Lyrics3 tags will not be able to display lyrics for files tagged with JetAudio." | 17:36 |
| Gnea | alessio: however, doing the .txt file thing might not be out of spec.... however, if they don't release the code to do that, it'd have to be reverse-engineered. I have no idea if anyone has been able to mimic that functionality. | 17:37 |

| cheesecakes | i see the webcam in lsusb but cheese says device not found | 17:48 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: This game writes a savesettings file but it can't since that's a root one :o was it a bad recommendation? | 17:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, that's a general recommendation not a all-the-time recommendation | 17:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, in some cases that's not what you do, in your case try it in /opt | 17:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, if that doesn't work why not just run it out of your home direcotry | 17:49 |

| HTC-DZ | lord, i have and AMD 4000+ single core CPU, 4gb DDR 400 RAM, onboard nvidia 6510 GPU, but ubuntu 12.10 64bit crawls to do anything via the live cd | 17:49 |
| frojnd | Hi there :) I have Acer aspire one 722 and apperantly driveres aren't isntalled. How do I install open source radeon drivers from command line? | 17:49 |
| HTC-DZ | oh the AMD 4000+ chip is 64bit | 17:49 |
| SpaceRocket | Gnea, i'm talking about 12.10 and the new installer | 17:49 |
| compdoc | HTC-DZ, pretty old stuff | 17:49 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: i dont want a lot of random programs' settings files cluttering up my home directory. Is /opt open to users or only root also? I need to abstract this to understand where I should put my programs | 17:50 |
| jpds | SunMoonStar: root. | 17:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, try Lubuntu. and don't call me "lord" i'm not your god. :P | 17:50 |
| SunMoonStar | jpds: where do you think I should put the program? | 17:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, which "game" are you trying to run? | 17:50 |
| HTC-DZ | i know comp, up till now xp has ben moving slowly but im tired of it and i really like the look of ubuntu so thought id give it a try. | 17:50 |
| HTC-DZ | meant xp hasnt been moving slowly | 17:51 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: It's called Lantern which is an interface for chess program ICC. It's not in the repositories | 17:51 |
| HTC-DZ | whats the difference TLOT? ? | 17:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, run it from your home directory, that's the only way it can save data correctly. | 17:51 |
| mikefrett | XP is very old, it would run on a P2. | 17:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, or try one of the other chess programs out there. (not sure what Lantern is though) | 17:51 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, Lubuntu uses the LXDE interface, its not Unity but its FAR less resource-heavy | 17:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, if you can't run Unity due to old hardware, use Lubuntu | 17:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | (its a different interface though) | 17:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | !lubuntu | HTC-DZ | 17:52 |
| ubottu | HTC-DZ: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 17:52 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: my .bashrc seems to have a setting to include /home/bin if it exists. I don't know what 'bin' is in general, i assume it's binaries for custom programs that I developed. Do you think I should put it in there or should I put a separate /home/games directory or something? | 17:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, uh... what? | 17:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, /home/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/bin might be one place to put stuff | 17:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | but /home/bin != valid | 17:53 |
| beagleburt | G'day everyone from New Zealand. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS about a month ago. I have a single user account & I am the Administrator; BUT I can't access the 'Root' & 'Lost & Found' folders, nor can I use <shutdown -r now> command from Terminal - as I "need to be root". I entered my login password for "su" but -"password authentication failure" is returned? Can anyone help me? t.a. | 17:53 |
| arnsa | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12367531#post12367531 could anyone help, please? | 17:53 |
| thesadmafioso | beagleburt you need to use "sudo" not su | 17:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | beagleburt, by "root" folders you mena /root/ ? lost and found may not need accessing normally. And use sudo | 17:53 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: I mean, is */bin in general a location I should put programs? or is that only for developers | 17:53 |
| thesadmafioso | beagleburt: unless you enable a root account. a root account is not enabled by default in ubuntu | 17:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, its your system, run it from wherever you see fit. I run half of my stuff on my servers as non-root, so... | 17:54 |
| HTC-DZ | i see, do they have LTS versions of lubuntu? what happens if i use an older version of ubuntu, say version 11? i know its not supported anymore but aside from the updates is there any draw backs? | 17:54 |
| SunMoonStar | TheLordOfTime: thanks for the help | 17:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | SunMoonStar, i usually run stuff out of individual directories for each program out of my home dir. | 17:55 |
| beagleburt | "thesadmafioso" how do you enable a root account? | 17:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | !root | b | 17:55 |
| ubottu | b: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:55 |
| thesadmafioso | beagleburt: instead, in ubuntu the normal user "borrows" root privs to accomplish tasks. there's plenty of information in the official documentations about this issue. | 17:55 |

For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 17:55 |

| tucemiux | anyone knows if an ATI or nvidia card would play better with ubuntu? | 17:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, lubuntu has the same release cycle of Ubuntu | 17:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, Lubuntu 12.04 is still LTS. | 17:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | same with Kubuntu 12.04, Xubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 | 17:58 |
| jpds | TheLordOfTime: No, it's not. | 17:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | jpds, you sure? core is still LTS last i checked. it shares core. | 17:58 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, nvidia | 17:58 |
| jpds | TheLordOfTime: Only Ubuntu falls under the LTS support fom Canonical. | 17:58 |
| nonvediae | could you help me with ATI drivers -- i have amd fusion APU with 6550D integrated card -- proprietary driver works but it choppy when i do resize windows | 17:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | jpds, official LTS you mean. | 17:58 |
| nonvediae | when i run open box it's OK | 17:58 |
| mikefrett | tucemiux: Nvidia but I use an ATi card and it works just fine. No issues. | 17:59 |
| tucemiux | dcherniv, you have an nvidia gpu? im thinking about going for the GTX 660, i s it hard to configure ? | 17:59 |
| cheesecakes | why did the drivers change after an upgrade :/ | 17:59 |
| cheesecakes | the webcam worked after changing driver | 17:59 |
| cheesecakes | i am wondering what other drivers have changed ? | 17:59 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, have ati here not by choice. nvidia is usually pain-free and driver install from nvidia.com is pretty straightforward | 17:59 |
| TheLordOfTime | HTC-DZ, i'm wrong then. its not "LTS" officially. won't have the LTS title. | 18:00 |
| dcherniv | nonvediae, pastebin output of glxinfo | 18:00 |
| SpaceRocket | thanks Gnea | 18:00 |
| tucemiux | dcherniv, im going for an nvidia then, if they work with ubuntu, might as well support the hardware manufacturer that plays nice with your OS | 18:00 |
| tucemiux | anyone knows what is the status of wayland? | 18:01 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, released 1.01 | 18:01 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, sure you dont need more trouble | 18:01 |
| HTC-DZ | i just checked theres kubuntu out as well. this has KDE. correct me if im wrong, but KDE, GNOME, LXDE is just the UI? | 18:01 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, make sure to get the driver from nvidia.com it has been updated recently on the account of the whole linux steam beta | 18:02 |
| nonvediae | i have not access to this pc right here, what flags to check in glxinfo output? | 18:02 |
| tucemiux | dcherniv, but is wayland supported on ubuntu? | 18:02 |
| mikefrett | TheLordOfTime: I personally use Xubuntu, much lighter than LXDE and has an LTS. Just remove the 'dock' and drag the top bar down to the bottom and thats the closest thing to a 'Windows' that you can get. I've never been happier. | 18:02 |
| dcherniv | tucemiux, not at the moment, maybe in the next release | 18:02 |
| vitimiti | o/ | 18:03 |
| beagleburt | !root | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:03 |
| dcherniv | nonvediae, how do you figure your graphics is shot then? | 18:03 |
| vfw | mikefrett: I wouldn't say that it is lighter than LXDE. Maybe more easily configuable, more feature rich and/or user frendly. | 18:03 |
| TheLordOfTime | mikefrett, no, Xubuntu doesn't get the LTS title. | 18:04 |
| TheLordOfTime | only Ubuntu does. | 18:04 |
| tucemiux | thanks for your input fellas, im going to the mall and check out an nvidia gpu | 18:04 |

| === bulletrula\z is now known as bulletrulz | ||
| v0lksman | What is the difference between me enabling a card during the install and enabling it after? | 18:05 |
| mikefrett | That's not true eh, 12.04 is an official LTS | 18:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | vfw, it doesnt assume the LTS title. LTS is the canonical-supported title, nothing gets the LTS title EXCEPT Ubuntu. officially. | 18:05 |
| v0lksman | where can I look for kernel flags or something that would lead to that behaviour | 18:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | they all hav ehte same support length, but not the "LTS" title. | 18:05 |
| mikefrett | Then my official cd was misprinted then... | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | mikefrett, vfw, argue with jpds on that one. | 18:06 |
| v0lksman | how would I go about reporting this as a bug? | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | jpds is more senior on that than I. | 18:06 |
| zoneout83 | not sure what was last seen... | 18:06 |
| zoneout83 | I need some walk through help on getting a wireless nic to work. I've been trying to get th ndiswrapper to work but it doesn't seem to, I have a wusb100 and right now it is using rt2800 but it drops connection on high bandwidth downloads | 18:06 |
| vfw | TheLordOfTime: That is what LTS is, the length of support. | 18:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | vfw, silence, i'm done arguing this, take it up with jpds. | 18:07 |
| vfw | TheLordOfTime: And it certainly does get the title of LTS. | 18:07 |
| IdleOne | arguing the same thing, you are both right. Argue elsewhere :) | 18:07 |
| * TheLordOfTime goes back to stabbing the system. | 18:07 | |
| HTC-DZ | you guys are losing me lol <pulling hair out> so let me get this. ubuntu = android. KDE,GNOME = samsung touchwiz and HTC Sense UIs? i know i sound retarded im just trying to get my head around the terminology | 18:08 |
| zoneout83 | i am getting a fatal: ndiswrapper not found even though I completely removed it and reinstalled it twice now... | 18:09 |
| IdleOne | HTC-DZ: think of it this way, KDE LXDE XFCE Unity are all just a set of default applications with a different look for each environment. | 18:09 |
| zoneout83 | IdleOne, don't they each have a different library to pull from though I remember installing KDE on ubuntu to get something to work before... | 18:10 |
| vfw | IdleOne: I am not arguing, only correcting. Just trying to set the record straight. Xubuntu 12.04 is a Long Term Support release (LTS) and will be supported for three years per the Xubuntu LTS plan. | 18:11 |
| markoK | hey guys, is there a alternative for itunes because I have an iphone and I am looking for a tool which help me to backup my iphone like in itunes | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | HTC-DZ: The description I just gave you is very minimalistic of course. like zoneout83 just pointed out they share some libs and for some apps you might have to install different libs, the package manager ( Software Center) will take care of that part for you. | 18:11 |
| HTC-DZ | aaahhhhh i seee :D ok now im picking up what you guys throwing down | 18:12 |
| IdleOne | vfw: My point was that you were both right and that this channel is not the correct place to discuss it. | 18:12 |
| SpaceRocket | there is a but with NM, when I specify the DNS servers for OpenDNS and validate, still failing | 18:12 |

| mikefrett | By the way, if any of you are in the US, Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for Linux and all the Devs. | 18:13 |
| HTC-DZ | with regard to LTS, normal releases are supported for 3 years, LTS versions are supported for 5 years. or am i mistaken? im sure i read that somewhere | 18:13 |
| IdleOne | !lts | 18:13 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support.

| arucard | ah ok gracias | 18:17 |
| vfw | zoneout83: The 18 months or 3 years of support means that for that length of time, you get updates to your system. When that length of time is over, you reach EOL (End Of Life) and you have to upgrade to newer version in order to contiune to receive support, (in the way of updates for your various applications). | 18:18 |

| zoneout83 | i've removed it and reinstalled it. | 18:20 |

| zoneout83 | basically I have a wireless usb network card wusb100 that everytime I download something I get dced even though it says it's still connected. streaming youtube installing updates all that causes the connection to go down then I disconnect then reconnect and I'm back on for x amount of mb I guess. | 18:21 |
| zoneout83 | k1l, I have wusb100 using rt2800 the driver I downloaded is rt2870 and no I am not sure but it worked in 8.04 LTS | 18:22 |
| zoneout83 | the card was working fine last week-end in windows 7 and on an older xp machine FYI | 18:23 |

| _Bier | hello everyone, i am currently using ubuntu which is a live cd booted from an usb stick, but the space i reserved for programs is FULL, so now i get the "low graphics mode error" | 19:32 |
| llutz | DaimyoKirby: like: find path/ -regextype posix-egrep -not -regex '.*(doc|xls)$' -type f -delete | 19:32 |
| _Bier | i want to use my live cd as it originally was, delete the reserved space perhaps | 19:32 |
| llutz | DaimyoKirby: you want to check and test that before you actually run it | 19:32 |
| _Bier | i can get into the "TRY UBUNTU" screen, its where i am now | 19:33 |
| _Bier | can anyone please help me? :( | 19:33 |
| gordonjcp | _Bier: why not delete some of the files in the reserved space? | 19:33 |
| _Bier | i dont know how and where that is | 19:33 |

| _Bier | i have access to my folders, but cant move anything to trash | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | don't move things to trash | 19:34 |
| _Bier | because there is no trash can | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | delete them | 19:34 |
| dr_willis_ | what all did you install on it? | 19:34 |
| _Bier | how? | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | if I meant "move them to the trash" I'd have said "move them to the trash" | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | well, <shift-DELETE> might be a good start | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | or just rm | 19:34 |
| _Bier | shift delete doesn't do it | 19:35 |
| _Bier | do i need the terminal for rm? if so how do i access it before im logged on | 19:35 |
| gordonjcp | okay, then open a terminal and use rm | 19:35 |
| adknight87 | or change a prefrence in the file manager that lets you have the drop down context option of delet | 19:35 |
| adknight87 | delete | 19:35 |
| gordonjcp | _Bier: <CTRL-ALT-F2> will drop you into a plain terminal | 19:35 |
| gordonjcp | log in with your username and password as normal | 19:35 |
| gordonjcp | work out where you want to delete stuff, and delete it | 19:35 |
| dr_willis_ | live cd user is ubuntu | 19:36 |

| markoK | dcherniv: its not a simple text file, I mean why do I have to use a tool?:) | 20:01 |
| z1ng3r | markoK: Things listed with an "S" will automatically start on boot. Things listed with a "K" will not. | 20:01 |
| dcherniv | markoK, they are text files in a special directory | 20:01 |
| dcherniv | markoK, the runlevel on which service is run is controlled by symlinks to /etc/rc#.d | 20:02 |
| dcherniv | markoK, you can update those symlinks manually but there are 6 runlevels, lots of symlinks to keep track of and very easy to mess it up | 20:02 |
| dcherniv | markoK, so there's a tool that does it for you :) | 20:02 |

| Guest9259 | thanks you guys | 20:27 |
| Guest9259 | happy thanksgiving | 20:27 |
| Dmole | Guest9259: you might want to use 12.04 as I can't get 12.10 to install the right drivers | 20:27 |
| merica | Dmole: why not? | 20:28 |
| merica | som1 halp meh plz! | 20:28 |
| bekks | merica: Can you speekz english pleaz? :) | 20:29 |
| merica | :P | 20:29 |
| merica | my external usb3 1tb drive doesn't register on my desktop | 20:29 |
| merica | fresh install of ubuntu12.10 | 20:30 |
| bekks | merica: Then take a look at "dmesg" in a terminal when plugging the drive in. | 20:30 |
| Dmole | merica: seemingly endless reasons; first problem was the black screen on boot, second problem was compiz using all the CPU, 3rd problem was selecting 3rd party drivers failed because some file is missing (now there is no unity on boot), 4th problem is the .bin from ati failed in some way.... | 20:30 |
| merica | i have tried all the usb ports, which i know are good because i use other usb devices, | 20:30 |
| Dmole | merica: try 12.04 | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: what file system does it use? | 20:30 |
| merica | bekks: dmesg doesn't show anything, | 20:30 |
| bekks | merica: Do you have an USB3 port at all? | 20:30 |
| merica | yes | 20:31 |
| bekks | merica: Do you have an USB3 cable, too? | 20:31 |
| merica | yes | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: what file system does it use? | 20:31 |
| merica | everything is new | 20:31 |
| merica | ext3 | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see it? | 20:32 |
| merica | new hardware (desktop computer), fresh installs, new external drive | 20:32 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: no | 20:32 |
| bekks | merica: does "sudo lspci -k" show you the USB3 controller? | 20:32 |
| merica | newp | 20:32 |
| bekks | "newp"? | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: is the device usb powered or is it powered by a separate power | 20:32 |
| merica | no | 20:32 |
| merica | sry | 20:32 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: its usb powered, and it works on my laptop | 20:33 |
| merica | i did try unplugging all the other usb devices, then plugging the drive in | 20:33 |
| bekks | merica: Then the controller isnt recognized at all. Did it ever work - even with a different usb device? | 20:33 |
| merica | same result | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: when you last unplugged it, did you unmount it properly? | 20:33 |
| merica | yes | 20:33 |
| merica | bekks: it works in my laptop | 20:33 |
| merica | with usb3 and fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 | 20:33 |
| bekks | merica: So you plugg out the entire controller (out of your PC) and plug it into your laptop? | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: have you tried setting the USB to legacy mode in BIOS? | 20:34 |
| merica | bekks, i remove the drive from the desktop, and plug it into the laptop, and the laptop will mount it | 20:34 |
| bekks | merica: Thats not what I asked. | 20:35 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: legacy mode is on | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: do other devices work in the ports? | 20:35 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: yes | 20:35 |
| merica | bekks: i didn't understand then | 20:35 |
| bekks | merica: The USB3 _controller_ isnt recognized at all, as you told us. | 20:35 |
| bekks | So either it is broken, or disabled in the BIOS. | 20:36 |
| merica | http://pastebin.com/4z0Zh4XS | 20:36 |
| bekks | merica: Then why did you say "no" when being ask wether lspci -k shows the USB3 controller? | 20:37 |
| === RaringOne is now known as IdleOne | ||
| ActionParsnip | merica: how about booting with it attached | 20:37 |
| merica | sorry, i must not have read the entire thing and assumed you said drive in stead of controller | 20:37 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: tried that as well didn't change anything | 20:38 |
| bekks | merica: Then unplug the drive, wait 10s, plug it into the USB3 port, wait 10s and pastebinthe entire output of "dmesg" please | 20:38 |

| matx | hello! is anyone here familier with inotifywait. I have a problem where i run it as root but it appears to run scripts as a normal user | 20:40 |
| simonpe^^ | Im having some sound issues. The following makes my toslink connector output digital audio (albeit with very poor quality) mplayer -ac hwac3,hwdts, -channels 6 -ao alsa:device=iec958 <file>. The problem is that I cannot get pulseaudio to send the signal to my toslink plug. Any ideas (both for the horrible quality and for the pulseaudio issue)? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: Do you dual boot the system? | 20:40 |
| merica | as of yesterday yes | 20:40 |
| merica | though, iv never used the drive in windows | 20:41 |
| merica | can't, being that its ext3 | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: check in windows that the USB is not set to be able to wake up the PC and disable power management. It can help | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: the Windows OS may be 'holding' the USB ports | 20:42 |

| merica | well, this was the case before i dualbooted | 20:42 |
| Dmole | merica: while you are doing that in windows do the same for the NIC | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: do you have the latest BIOS? | 20:43 |
| darrenlooby | Well, after a while of working at it - I've finally got PHP 5.2 working on Ubuntu 12.04... phew... | 20:43 |
| merica | good question, i haven't checked for bios updates | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: the BIOS gives settings for the ports, may help | 20:44 |
| merica | yeah, i looked at that, wasn't much to mess with, and nothing seemed to change anythin | 20:44 |
| darrenlooby | Next question. I'm looking for a list of differences between PHP versions - so I can then go look at the code for problems. | 20:45 |
| bekks | darrenlooby: Check their changelog. :) | 20:45 |
| guntbert | darrenlooby: ask in ##php maybe? | 20:45 |
| merica | but, i had this problem yesterday with ubuntu 12.04, prior to my format and dualbooting | 20:45 |
| Owner_ | Hey guys. So I am trying to install ubuntu and the screen goes black. I turned on the nomodeset thing but that doesn't cut it. There was something else I did when I originally installed it | 20:46 |
| Dmole | merica: try the drive in windows (you should at least be able to see it) | 20:47 |
| leftist | grub works great with win8! good day! | 20:48 |
| merica | i dualboot my laptop as well, and the drive works fine in it | 20:48 |
| Dmole | merica: try CentOS | 20:48 |
| merica | alright, i'll boot into windows, see if it can see the drive, and check for bios updates | 20:48 |
| merica | brb | 20:49 |
| Dmole | merica: the drive will show up in the disk management but not windows explorer | 20:49 |

| SlitazMint_noteb | Big surprise, fglrx screwed me over again. | 20:51 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | How do I restore? I am in rescue mode in a shell. | 20:51 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: did you try 12.04? | 20:51 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | I'm in 12.10 | 20:51 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | No I did not | 20:51 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: I was unable to get amd working in 12.10, so I'm installing 12.04 now... | 20:52 |
| KjetilK | seems my /etc/rc.local isn't run at startup, at least none of the parameters I have in there are set, it executable and has the hashbang | 20:53 |
| KjetilK | what else could be wrong? | 20:53 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: tell me if it works | 20:53 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: What card do you have? | 20:53 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: ... don't know | 20:53 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: Desktop or laptop? | 20:54 |
| Owner_ | So when I try and install ubuntu and I check nomodeset, noapic and apci=off Ubuntu loads for a while then leaves me at the command line (logged in as root) what do I do? | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | KjetilK: did you add the command above the 'exit 0' line? | 20:54 |
| KjetilK | ActionParsnip, yeah... | 20:54 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: laptop | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | KjetilK: add an extra line to run: echo "it's running" | tee /home/username/Desktop/test.txt | 20:55 |
| KjetilK | This is the script: http://pastebin.com/8uS7FG9M | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | KjetilK: change 'username' for your username | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | KjetilK: then, reboot. If you see the file. you know /etc/rc.local IS being processed | 20:56 |
| KjetilK | ActionParsnip, right | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | KjetilK: try that first, then we can progress | 20:57 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: MAYBE a "Radeon HD 6490M" | 20:57 |
| KjetilK | hmmm, problem is, this is my MythBuntu box, and it currently has some problems getting up, with a scarily low Wife Acceptance Factor as a result... | 20:57 |
| gyre007 | is there a way how I can use auditd to check what process/who is chown-ing some file on filesystem ? I can see that this is doable for accessing the files...but can't see any reference to chown-ing - obviously I know that chowning wouldnt work without accessing... | 20:57 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: Mine is HD 6870 | 20:58 |
| KjetilK | so, I guess I will try to debug it later, when the detrimental effects of a falling WAF isn't that pronounced :-) | 20:58 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: Please don't forget to tell me if it works for you. | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gyre007: if the command is running at present, you can run: ps -ef | grep chown | 20:59 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: no problem, I'm just sitting around waiting for the install to finish... | 20:59 |
| hozmaster | helo what is /usr/share/python-support/ folder is that still exist 12.4? | 20:59 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: did you try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx ? | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hozmaster: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1378030/ | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 21:00 |
| gyre007 | no ActionParsnip this happens randomly...also I doubt Id catch it with ps :) chown doesn't usually run several seconds :) especially on the superfast servers these days | 21:00 |
| KjetilK | ActionParsnip, actually, this could explain it: | 21:00 |
| KjetilK | root@tigger:/etc/rc2.d# ls -la S99rc.local | 21:01 |
| KjetilK | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 28 2010 S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local | 21:01 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: No, what's that? | 21:01 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: quantal | 21:01 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: drivers | 21:01 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: as per http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/ | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gyre007: if you are chowning a folder with lots of small files, it will take a while. | 21:01 |
| KjetilK | so, it appears to point to rc.local in init.d | 21:01 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Anyone know how I remove the AMD drivers I installed from AMD website? | 21:01 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | I'm in rescue mode and a have a shell up. | 21:02 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: (using the ppa was the one thing I did not try on that page) | 21:02 |

| ariesam | ??? error | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: dpkg -l | grep fglrx should give a clue | 21:02 |
| llutz | KjetilK: /etc/rc.local != /etc/init.d/rc.local, different files | 21:02 |
| Evil_Eric | ActionParsnip, you just beat me to that | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ariesam: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 21:02 |
| KjetilK | llutz, yeah, that's the problem | 21:02 |
| llutz | KjetilK: you want /etc/rc.local | 21:02 |
| hozmaster | i got <app>.public which contains file to other place | 21:02 |
| KjetilK | llutz, what will run /etc/rc.local? | 21:03 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: Did not output anything. | 21:03 |
| Evil_Eric | SlitazMint_noteb, do you have synaptic package manger | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | SlitazMint_noteb will show the packages to install | 21:03 |
| ubottu | SlitazMint_noteb will show the packages to install: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 21:03 |
| llutz | KjetilK: /etc/rc.local will be called by /etc/init.d/rc.local | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: so the ones to install will need removing :) | 21:03 |
| KjetilK | llutz, ah, ok | 21:03 |
| gyre007 | ActionParsnip: fair enough :) | 21:04 |
| KjetilK | so, I can debug this problem by running /etc/init.d/rc.local | 21:04 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Evil_Eric: No I don't | 21:04 |
| hozmaster | but when I start ie. app i got no such file or dire | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ariesam: its a terminal command | 21:05 |
| Evil_Eric | if you did have it installed you could simply search for the gfrlx and remove the packages | 21:05 |
| llutz | KjetilK: sudo "/etc/init.d/rc.local start" to test | 21:05 |
| === xerox1_ is now known as xerox1 | ||
| KjetilK | llutz, yeah, and it ran | 21:05 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: Since I did not install the package sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx doesnt work. | 21:06 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | I installed from AMD this time. | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: try the packaged version | 21:06 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: How do I remove what I have now? | 21:06 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: I did try the packaged version when I was using Ubuntu server 12.10 if it doesnt work ot that then it wont work on ubuntu mini 12.10 i dont think | 21:07 |
| Evil_Eric | this might work sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: do you want a desktop OS? | 21:09 |
| Holden | Hi guys, I've update to firefox 17 on lucid, but scrolling on some pages (like http://www.findchips.com/avail?part=NJW0281G ) it's really slow... has anyone noticed that? | 21:09 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Evil_Eric: That didnt do anything. -__- | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: or are you just getting no display onscreen? | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Holden: what desktop are you using? | 21:10 |
| Holden | ActionParsnip, it's lucid, so gnome 2.30 | 21:10 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: yes i want a desktop os, everything was working fine till i installed fglrx, now the screen is just black when I reboot | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: so why install server? | 21:11 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | I didn't know about mini edition, now I have mini. | 21:11 |

| amews_aj-study | Hi, again I forgot, what is the command to wipe a hdd in linux ? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: if you let the OS boot some then press CTRL+ALT+F1, do you get a prompt? | 21:12 |
| merica | sudo rm -rf / | 21:12 |
| llutz | TJ-: unlikely, since S99 runs after S05 | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | amews_aj-study: you can use dban or dd | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !danger | 21:12 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 21:12 |
| Dmole | amews_aj-study: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda | 21:12 |
| merica | lol, he asked | 21:12 |
| KjetilK | TJ-, oh, I'll look into that | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: please don't put commands like that in here. It also doesn't wipe it effectively | 21:12 |
| BluesKaj | amews_aj-study, use a partition manager | 21:13 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip: Nope | 21:13 |
| merica | i think i gave him what he was asking for | 21:13 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | not even splash screen | 21:13 |
| Dmole | my example was so bad the ubottubot could not comment | 21:13 |
| merica | but thats all beside the point | 21:13 |
| TJ- | llutz: KjetilK ondemand starts and then sleeps for 60 seconds, then sets the scaling governor | 21:13 |
| KjetilK | TJ-, it may explain the cpu_freq stuff, but not the lirc statement at the end? | 21:13 |
| merica | ActionParsnip: the drive didn't register in win8 either, and it appears there might be a bios update | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: it's not, it could be a different drive to the one booted to...couldn't it | 21:14 |
| BluesKaj | meric new users might not know the effects of that command | 21:14 |
| merica | won't happen again | 21:14 |
| TJ- | KjetilK: Indeed. As ActionParsnip said, you need to add some logging to the file and reboot the PC to check it | 21:14 |
| KjetilK | hmmm, the cpufreq is pretty archaic by now in my setup anyway, I'll remove it | 21:14 |
| ariesam | thanks ActionParsnip but the error continues, apparently did not find that file "libusb-0.1-4.so" and the program can not start. | 21:14 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: did nomodeset not get you a spash screen? | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | merica: so jumping to such a ridiculous assumption and destructive command is far from helpful | 21:14 |
| ariesam | :( | 21:14 |
| * KjetilK nods, I suppose so | 21:15 | |
| TJ- | merica: Have you confirmed that the drive isn't trying to draw more power than the USB3 port can supply? The USB2 spec says it should provide 900mA but its not unknown for that to sometimes be lower. | 21:15 |
| TJ- | s/USB2/USB3/ | 21:16 |
| Dmole | ActionParsnip: exactly what else could he mean by "wipe a drive"? | 21:16 |
| llutz | tj KjetilK even then, "ondemand" sets governor but not min-scaling-freq | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dmole: user could have 50 USB drives and want to wipe just one | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dmole: that is nothing to do with / or rm... | 21:17 |
| merica | TJ- i haven't confirmed that, idk how i would, i just know it doesn't register on the desktop | 21:17 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | I managed to restore the old drivers. | 21:17 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | ActionParsnip, Dmole ^ | 21:18 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint_noteb: sweet :) | 21:18 |
| Dmole | ActionParsnip: true using root as an example was bad, and likely dd is the more secure option he was after | 21:18 |
| ReAzem | Hello! I have an issue. I know than anacron runs tasks with run-parts. The problem is that I have a job which is extremely long, and I would like anacron to the following tasks even if this job is not completed, any solutions? | 21:18 |
| ReAzem | *to run | 21:18 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint_noteb: but do they perform at all? | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | Dmole, we suspect his intentions ...Ive seen ppl advise others to use that command with malice. | 21:19 |
| TJ- | llutz: KjetilK cpuinfo_{min,max}_freq are read-only values - so you can't write to them. They're info about the CPU, not control knobs :) | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Dmole: exactly :) | 21:19 |
| impiza | when i try to install teamviewer it shows error | 21:19 |
| Dmole | BluesKaj: don't be to obvious now | 21:19 |
| KjetilK | TJ-, uh, ok | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Dmole: folks jumping to conclusions without asking for any details is bad for user data | 21:20 |
| impiza | some ai32-libs missing | 21:20 |
| impiza | why | 21:20 |
| llutz | TJ-: wrong, you can override them using echo bla > var | 21:20 |
| KjetilK | this was something I experimented with back in the day before VDPAU, so I needed the CPU to do HD video playback | 21:20 |
| TJ- | llutz: They're read-only | 21:20 |
| TJ- | llutz: At least, on 2 systems here they are | 21:21 |
| llutz | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 22 22:20 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq | 21:21 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, Perform? I just removed them. | 21:21 |
| lduros_ | hi, i'm looking for a way to use "Yahoo Messenger" with video and chat | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | heh obvious , that's a good one | 21:21 |
| TJ- | llutz: It depends on the system then. I'm seeing "-r--r--r--" | 21:22 |
| lduros_ | I don't really need to us e yahoo messenger itself, but pidgin doesn't allow video/audio | 21:22 |
| lduros_ | with the yahoo protocol | 21:22 |
| amews_aj-study | BluesKaj But I'd like to use a tool a bit more thorough | 21:22 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: like the reason I tryed using 3rd party drivers in the first place was the open ones were slow | 21:22 |
| TJ- | KjetilK: What does yours show for "ls -l /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq" ? | 21:22 |
| KjetilK | TJ-, -r--r--r-- | 21:23 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, no it doesn't "perform" at least I have my desktop back. I haven't given up on fglrx yet | 21:23 |
| KjetilK | so, I guess this could explain it, it fails there and doesn't execute the rest? | 21:24 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, Where there is a will there is a way. =P | 21:24 |
| TJ- | KjetilK: Well, that explains why you don't see a change then :) Now you need to figure out the lirc issue | 21:24 |
| KjetilK | TJ-, could it be that since the cpufreq fails, the rest wasn't executed? | 21:24 |
| TJ- | KjetilK: The script is "-e" so that would make sense. | 21:25 |
| llutz | KjetilK: no | 21:25 |
| KjetilK | :-) | 21:25 |

| xangua | Dmole: when you set the mouse for left handed, yes | 21:27 |
| SlitazMint | What is that? | 21:27 |
| TJ- | KjetilK: You could just do " echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq || true" | 21:27 |

| thnov | Dmole: That ping is probably answered by their load balancer.. getting HTTP content is another story though :) | 21:52 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: only both 5000 and 4200 > 4000 | 21:53 |
| Galvatron | SlitazMint: They do. You just have to install the legacy drivers (Catalyst 12.6). | 21:53 |
| SlitazMint | I meant HD 4000 series or lower. | 21:54 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, ^ | 21:54 |
| SlitazMint | oh | 21:54 |
| Dmole | Galvatron: only installing will fail and make you need to reinstall :( | 21:54 |
| SlitazMint | Galvatron, I'm having trouble with my AMD drivers on 12.10 | 21:54 |
| SlitazMint | I have HD 6000 series. | 21:55 |
| Galvatron | The legacy drivers might already be incomaptible with the current X.org. | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint: there is a PPA for the legacy driver, the xorg in Quantal hates 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx ATi GPUs | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | SlitazMint: 6xxx should be ok | 21:55 |
| SlitazMint | I`ll try again them | 21:55 |
| SlitazMint | then | 21:55 |
| * SlitazMint crosses fingers. | 21:56 | |
| Dmole | ppa here : http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/ | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | worth a punt, even with the newer chip. Its easily rolled back :) | 21:56 |
| Galvatron | To tell the truth, the users of HD4000 and lower should best switch to nVidia, to save time and nerves. | 21:56 |
| SlitazMint | ActionParsnip, Should I get fglrx or fglrx-updates or both? | 21:57 |
| SlitazMint | Galvatron ^ | 21:57 |
| Galvatron | SlitazMint: ? | 21:59 |
| SlitazMint | Should I get fglrx or fglrx-updates or both? | 22:00 |
| SlitazMint | Ok, definetly not both | 22:00 |
| SlitazMint | fglrx didn't work in ubuntu server 12.10 i know that much | 22:00 |
| SlitazMint | So maybe fglrx-update? | 22:00 |
| Galvatron | Best try the latest version from AMD's website | 22:00 |
| Galvatron | Try both stable and beta | 22:01 |
| SlitazMint | Galvatron, I already did. | 22:01 |
| SlitazMint | I'll try beta then. | 22:01 |
| SlitazMint | -___- | 22:01 |
| Galvatron | If even the latest drivers from AMD don't help, then installing those from the repo won't help | 22:01 |
| SlitazMint | I'm starting to hate AMD. | 22:02 |
| Galvatron | As they are likely older | 22:02 |

| dr_willis | apt-get make-a-wish-and-hope-for-the-best ;) | 22:02 |
| SlitazMint | Galvatron, Should I install or make a package then install? | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | there may be a ppa for the newer versions from the amd site | 22:03 |
| Galvatron | The ppa is called X-Updates/X-SWAT | 22:03 |
| Galvatron | It contains the latest stable version | 22:04 |
| Galvatron | There also the #ati channel, dedicated to support the propritera drivers, and #radeon, for the open ones | 22:05 |

| JohnFlux | I'm trying to install ssl-cert on an ancient box but it's failing. Is there a way to tell it to ignore failures in post install? | 22:11 |
| Steve^ | Dmole, 12.10 doesn't have a screensaver, power management are all set off or very high, even all the random values I can find in dconf-editor | 22:11 |
| bekks | JohnFlux: Which Ubuntu is it? | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | irocksu: don't all spellchecks use wordlists? | 22:11 |
| Dmole | maybe these driver problems are related to the kernel.ubuntu.com being down? | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip: ive been trying to think how ELSE they could work. ;) | 22:11 |
| JohnFlux | bekks: not sure it is - it's an embedded system | 22:12 |

| Dmole | why is it that modinfo can't find fglrx???????????? | 22:14 |
| bekks | Dmole: Because it is not there. | 22:14 |
| auronandace | Dmole: lsmod will tell you what's loaded | 22:14 |
| Dmole | bekks: smart, ok better question why won't Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 install the recommended 3rdparty graphics driver ? | 22:15 |
| Dmole | auronandace: don't see how that will help | 22:16 |
| bekks | Dmole: Well, how did you install your driver then= | 22:16 |
| SlitazMint_noteb | Dmole: -___- | 22:16 |
| Dmole | bekks: SlitazMint_noteb and I are trying all kinds of options non of them working :/ | 22:16 |
| Dmole | bekks: from the ubuntu "additional drivers" window | 22:17 |
| bekks | Dmole: "all" and "none"... well, unless you have a fglrx.ko kernelmodule, "none" will work. | 22:17 |
| OerHeks | some drivers need "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" why i don't know ... | 22:18 |
| Dmole | bekks: and clicking the button should install it but somehow it's not working (fglrx is in lsmod btw) | 22:19 |
| bekks | Dmole: when lksmod shows fglrx, the module IS loaded already. | 22:19 |
| PaDouViRuS | hi | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: so it can plug into the kernel, for APIs and so forth :) | 22:20 |

| gskellik | I know ActionParsnip, I meant I stopped using unity | 22:21 |

| dr_willis | How did you install it? | 22:25 |
| gskellik | auronandace, yeah thats why I said 1x whatever I meant is there a way to get it to have 2x2 instead | 22:25 |
| OpenSorce | josephagarenzo, I would assume you used wine to install it right? | 22:25 |
| k1l | josephagarenzo: 1. which ubuntu? 2. how did you install? 3. what is the exact output/errormessage? | 22:25 |
| gskellik | I just liked the unity desktop switching more than the gnome3 one | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: WoW is a windows game, not installed as a package | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: so apt-get won't see it | 22:25 |
| auronandace | gskellik: not that i know of, check out their extension site | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: also NONE of the package names have spaces | 22:26 |
| gskellik | =( | 22:26 |
| gskellik | extensions.gnome3.org? | 22:26 |
| josephagarenzo | well im runnign on ubuntu 12.10 wine of course | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: if you go into the installed folder for the game and find the uninstaller app, you can run that with wine and it will remove | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: or try running: uninstaller | 22:27 |
| josephagarenzo | i think i tried that but ill try again,tried running the uninstaller but it didnt work | 22:27 |
| auronandace | gskellik: almost: https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | josephagarenzo: depending on how you installed it exactly. there may be a .wine directory you can just delete | 22:28 |
| dr_willis | playonlinux and other wine-helpers may use other directoriues | 22:28 |
| auronandace | josephagarenzo: also you can ask in #winehq for wine specific help | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | josephagarenzo: dr_willis: if you do you will need to delete the icons from ~/.config/menus/applications-merged | 22:29 |
| josephagarenzo | i see well im going to try .wine but i cant run the uninstaller through wine i think,going to try an figure this out | 22:29 |

| sambagirl | okie dokie | 22:36 |
| k1l | chrome and chromium are not the same thing | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: chromim and googe-chrome are similar but not the sme | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | *same | 22:36 |
| sambagirl | ahhh i see | 22:36 |
| sambagirl | which is preferred? | 22:36 |
| sambagirl | chrome is very buggy | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: chromium is the open source one | 22:36 |
| k1l | !chromium | sambagirl | 22:36 |
| ubottu | sambagirl: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 22:36 |
| sambagirl | oh ok | 22:36 |
| sambagirl | thanks | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: chrome is a snapshot of chromium, then some proprietary blobs (pdf reader, flash) are add | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ed | 22:37 |
| k1l | hmm, well that is not the expected message | 22:37 |
| sambagirl | ahh i see | 22:37 |
| sambagirl | thanks | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: so it depends on your preference, neither is preferred, its a personal choice | 22:37 |
| sambagirl | sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: I use chrom as it make flash stuff run better for me | 22:37 |
| sambagirl | that didnt work | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove chromium-browser | 22:38 |
| sambagirl | yes but chrome is having fits on practically all platforms i use. even the one for iphone | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: on my android phone I use opera mini. Its so fast! | 22:38 |
| sambagirl | i use opera on android too | 22:39 |
| sambagirl | i'll install chronium since chrome wont remove | 22:39 |
| sambagirl | i'm back to usinng firefox basically | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sambagirl: try: dpkg -l | grep chrom | 22:40 |

| sdddssd | hi all | 22:48 |
| doomlord | there is such a thing as vendor specific spyware i think | 22:48 |
| sdddssd | can you help me | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sdddssd: ask and see :) | 22:48 |
| auronandace | sambagirl: the scope of this channel is just ubuntu support | 22:49 |
| sambagirl | this is relevant to support auronandance | 22:49 |
| lwizardl | I want to create a custom Xubuntu LiveCD with preconfigured applications etc, is there a tool for doing this ? | 22:49 |
| sdddssd | ActionParsnip: well i want to install ubuntu | 22:49 |
| sambagirl | because support is irrelevant if indeed that is what is occuring | 22:49 |
| auronandace | sambagirl: no it isn't, ubuntu is open source, check the code yourself if you don't trust it | 22:49 |
| sambagirl | i can check the code but i cant check binary libraries | 22:50 |
| k1l | sambagirl: cmon, stick to ubuntu support here. for other stuff we have #ubuntu-offtopic e.g. | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sdddssd: ok, what is the issue? | 22:50 |
| sdddssd | ActionParsnip: well i want to install ubuntu | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sdddssd: then grab the ISO, MD5 test it and burn to a CD as slowly as posible. Boot to the CD | 22:51 |
| sdddssd | ActionParsnip: no i mean cant decide between gnome shell and unity | 22:51 |
| sdddssd | ActionParsnip: can you help me to decide? (no i don't want to have them both!) | 22:51 |
| Cong | I want to add an extra palce here http://i50.tinypic.com/1jsz82.png | 22:52 |
| k1l | sdddssd: take unity. | 22:52 |
| sdddssd | k1l: ok but why? | 22:52 |
| k1l | sdddssd: why not? | 22:52 |
| k1l | :) | 22:52 |
| sdddssd | k1l: so i prefer gnome shell a bit | 22:52 |
| Dmole | sdddssd: because it's newer, and supported | 22:52 |
| sdddssd | k1l: but if the integration isn't good ... | 22:53 |
| k1l | sdddssd: then use the gnome-shell. | 22:53 |
| auronandace | sdddssd: unity is just an alternative shell to gnome-shell, both are on top of gnome3, having them both installed will hardly take up any extra room | 22:53 |
| k1l | sdddssd: this is if you ask someone which is the best car. since we are a bmw channel the first answer will be: bmw :) | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sdddssd: Try Unity, its default installed. | 22:53 |
| almoxarife | ConG | 22:53 |
| sdddssd | gnome shell installation needs much of improments | 22:53 |
| sdddssd | gnome shell installation needs much of improvements | 22:53 |
| k1l | sdddssd: ? just install the metapackage. or what do you mean? | 22:54 |
| sdddssd | the theme is horrible | 22:54 |
| sdddssd | and the icon set is the grey gnome default one | 22:54 |
| dr_willis | looks fine to me. | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | Not sure how that all is ubuntu support specific either.. ;) | 22:55 |
| auronandace | sdddssd: what does default theme and iconset have to do with the installation process? | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | since they are rather trivial to change | 22:55 |
| doomlord | sdddssd: Out of the box, Unity is much better than Gnome-Shell.Gnome Shell seems more configurable, but all the extensions i tried to get it how i wanted it were slightly buggy. If you know javascript you can probably get gnome-shell to do anything you want. | 22:55 |
| doomlord | the defaults in gnome-shell are terrible | 22:56 |
| sdddssd | yes | 22:56 |
| sdddssd | :) | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | cant really say ive noticed... or were bothered by them | 22:56 |
| sdddssd | and the other thing is should I take 12.04 or 12.10? | 22:56 |
| doomlord | i think gnome-shell properly setup would please me more - but i haven't been bothered putting as much time into it. I use unity, or gnome-classic | 22:57 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 has newer packages | 22:57 |
| Cong | How about this. Was this place in the menu designed to be added to? http://i50.tinypic.com/1jsz82.png | 22:57 |
| auronandace | sdddssd: 12.04 = 5 years support; 12.10 = 18 months support and newer packages | 22:57 |
| doomlord | i've had 1 problem with 12.10: unity doesn't work with my nvidia graphics card (hence i'm backto gnome-classic there) | 22:57 |
| sdddssd | well okay then I'll try ubuntu 12.10 | 22:57 |
| sdddssd | i'll thank you very much, a very big thanks of my inner heart | 22:58 |
| doomlord | elsewhere 12.10 is fine | 22:58 |
| sdddssd | my inner heart is very pleased to have talked with you | 22:58 |
| sdddssd | . | 22:58 |
| dr_willis | Cong: i only have a Move To Trash.... not sure how you got a Move To Desktop. ;) | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: which nvidia gpu? | 22:59 |
| doomlord | gtx 640. gl itself works fine. its just compiz broken | 22:59 |
| nomad77 | ignore parts | 22:59 |
| doomlord | i bought it for 4screen joy | 22:59 |
| Cong | dr_willis, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:00 |
| doomlord | the ability to use 4 screens pleases me more than the loss of compiz | 23:00 |
| dr_willis | Cong: 12.10 | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: I'd just run with what you have, compiz makes things slow :) | 23:00 |
| Cong | dr_willis, that's why. | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: what are you using 4 screens for? Damn | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: We use 4 at work but we are monitoring multiple sites and hundreds of customer sites and kit | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | Got 2 Screens here. ;) Noticed i could add a 3rd... :) | 23:01 |
| doomlord | ActionParsnip, the experience of a Macbook Pro has taught me , desktop effects are genuinely useful. I found a macbook pro as productive as a desktop machine with 2 screens because the expose/spaces worked so well in conjunction with the multitouch trackpad | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | One for IRC, one for Videos. ;) | 23:01 |
| Cong | I'm going to give up the chase to change things! | 23:02 |
| doomlord | ActionParsnip, coding, i set them up thinking it was a gimmick, now I'm used to it and dont look back. I have emacs setup to automatically bring up definitions on spare windows to the side as you navigate a sourcebase :) | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: ahh makes sense | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | I have 1 screen for 4 systems. SSH and web interfces are great :) | 23:03 |
| doomlord | ah the inverse ... i'd get claustrophobic with 1 screen - unless i had a multitouch gesture to zoom out :) | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: why? all it's for is web browsing and chatting. why would you need more? | 23:04 |
| doomlord | My perfect setup stilll doesn't exist. I'd like desktop switching that was multimonitor aware: each moniitor displaying a different desktop, ability to switch desktops to any screen | 23:04 |
| === coltreal is now known as colt | ||
| ActionParsnip | doomlord: sounds like workspaces, you could have a workspace on each screen and switch them around (in theory) | 23:06 |
| === unrar is now known as Catbuntu | ||
| doomlord | yes that's what i'd like. everything i've seen on linux swiches all monitors together. Of course with maximized single windows you can just pul them between monitors.. you could argue there's much less need for workspaces with multimonitors | 23:07 |
| dr_willis | gnome shell does the seconc monitor weirdly ive noticed | 23:08 |
| k1l | dr_willis: i ilke the way its handeled | 23:08 |
| doomlord | even plain expo doesn't really do what you'd really like | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | with gnome shell it acts likes its broken. ;) | 23:09 |
| billbill | hi | 23:09 |
| billbill | i need some help setting up my ssh server | 23:09 |
| Dmole | ho | 23:09 |
| doomlord | ah yeah i think i recall it getting confused with its (useless)panel | 23:09 |
| billbill | im pretty new here | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | billbill: install the package.. its done.. ;) what more do you need? | 23:10 |
| billbill | well i need to set up portforwarding and my public ip address | 23:10 |
| billbill | i do not know where to find this | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | Totally depends on how your network is setup. | 23:10 |
| Dmole | billbill: in your router | 23:10 |
| doomlord | i can't launch ubuntu-one under gnome-classic, i tried the commandline command | 23:11 |
| billbill | ok i went in router and open the ports | 23:11 |
| billbill | where do i find my public ip address? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: you'll need your router manual | 23:11 |
| billbill | ok i will go try look for that and read | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: access the config web page and forward porrt 22/TCP to the IP of the server system. You can then use http://www.ipchicken.com to get your WAN IP and connect to it | 23:12 |
| k1l | billbill: that depends on your router (which is no ubuntu issue). or use a homepage like whatismyip.com or smth like this | 23:12 |
| billbill | i have the ssh client setup i just do not know what to send to people to log in and test it | 23:12 |
| billbill | so my public ip address is what whatsmyip dishes out at me | 23:13 |
| billbill | ? | 23:13 |
| billbill | i know it | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: the IP address from ipchicken on port 22 | 23:13 |
| billbill | so i send out this user@ip | 23:13 |
| billbill | ok ill try that | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: the username is the name on the server system which they use to authenticate with | 23:14 |
| crimsonmane | billbill: for ssh to work, you must enable port forwarding on your router, specifically port 22 | 23:15 |
| crimsonmane | oh that was already said. | 23:16 |
| crimsonmane | sry didn't scroll back | 23:16 |
| billbill | how do i do that | 23:16 |
| SlitazMint | crimsonmane, you in here too? | 23:16 |
| billbill | how do i enable port forwarding | 23:16 |
| billbill | i hoping once i get this setup i can ask a friend to log in and help me once he can access the network | 23:16 |
| billbill | im very new to linux, like 5 days into it | 23:17 |
| SlitazMint | billbill, you need to access your router's ip through a browser. | 23:17 |
| billbill | i have done that | 23:18 |
| crimsonmane | SlitazMint: for now i am. until the ops get upity with me again. | 23:18 |
| billbill | i am on the router now | 23:18 |
| Duff005 | hi | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: port forwarding is OS independant, so being 'new to linux' isn't a factor in setting up port forwarding in router | 23:18 |
| billbill | ok but it seems beyond me and making it hard to get ubuntu running | 23:18 |
| billbill | i thought i could get help here, i do not mean to disturb | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: the fact that you are using ubuntu is mooted by the fact thatthe router uses a web interface, so it will be no different to if you were using Windows. The web interface doesn't change because you are using WIndows | 23:19 |
| doomlord | try #linux aswell but they tend to be snottier there | 23:19 |
| billbill | is there anyone who can help me in a pm get this setup | 23:19 |
| crimsonmane | billbill: in your web browser go to "192.168.1.1" | 23:19 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| billbill | i am there | 23:20 |
| crimsonmane | did it ask for username and password? | 23:20 |
| crimsonmane | defaults are "user user" or "admin admin" or "user admin" or such like that | 23:20 |
| doomlord | its funny how it can be easier to use an internet connection & cloud service to get between machines in the same room sometimes :) | 23:20 |
| k1l | billbill: this is router related. best ask in #hardware or in our offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:20 |
| billbill | on router actually..options are internet connection wireless firewall 2701hg-g gateway | 23:20 |
| crimsonmane | billbill: click wireless | 23:21 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: still no luck, giving up | 23:21 |
| crimsonmane | billbill: look around in there for "port forwarding" or "port triggering" ... pref "forwarding" | 23:21 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, I have an idea. | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | billbill: what make and model is the router? | 23:22 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: install windows? | 23:22 |
| Duff005 | hi i from argentina | 23:22 |
| billbill | done it is a 2wire from bell | 23:22 |
| cordyceps | my partitions used to be automatically mounted on /media/<UUID> whenever I booted. Now I have to do it manually. What gives? | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Duff005: howdy | 23:22 |
| SlitazMint | I'm gonna try to install fglrx-updates instead of fglrx while following the ubuntu documentation. | 23:22 |
| billbill | i apprecaite the help guys | 23:22 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, other linux distros don't seem to have this problem I just came from Mint and it worked fine. | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | cordyceps: what options are on the partitions in fstab? | 23:23 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: I tried both on both releases | 23:23 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, did you follow the docu? | 23:23 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| Dmole | SlitazMint: I just clicked install on the 3rd party drivers window | 23:24 |
| SlitazMint | Oh I see. That's basically the same thing but with a GUI. | 23:24 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: I also tried the bin from the amd site ~ | 23:25 |
| cordyceps | ActionParsnip: there aren't any. I wrote in: user,auto,exec,rw but it still didn't work. I have to do it from the cli | 23:25 |
| SlitazMint | I don't have the "Additional Hardware" program. I'm on mini ubuntu. | 23:25 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, I tried both version from AMD site. | 23:25 |
| cordyceps | mount -t jfs etc | 23:25 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: In 12.10 it's in the software sourses | 23:25 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, Don't give up on Linux, use some other distro. | 23:25 |
| SlitazMint | Other distros work for me. | 23:26 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, I have no Software Sources either. =P | 23:26 |
| billbill | i cant seem to find anything about port forwarding | 23:26 |
| SlitazMint | I have basically nothing, just Mate. | 23:26 |

| Dmole | SlitazMint: I _need_ an encryped laptop before tomorrow so I think I'll just live without 3d drivers then go back to OSX when I finish with this temp disposable laptop | 23:27 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, you gonna try another distro? | 23:27 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, Oh I see. | 23:28 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: next time I'll try mint or centos but I'm giving up for this time | 23:28 |
| SlitazMint | Mint was very nice, I just got Ubuntu Mini because I wanted more control of what is installed. I don't like having a bunch of stuff installed by default. | 23:29 |
| Dmole | SlitazMint: good luck, and be sure to add whatever solution you find to the wiki it you find a solution. | 23:29 |
| SlitazMint | Dmole, I think we just have to wait for Ubuntu devs to see what Mint did that they didn't. =P | 23:30 |
| SlitazMint | Thanks. | 23:30 |
| SlitazMint | Mint is based on Ubuntu that is what I don't understand, if it works on one it should work on the other. | 23:30 |
| k1l | SlitazMint: Dmole well, that is a topic that better suits in the #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:31 |
| k1l | since its far beyond the support stage | 23:31 |
| SlitazMint | k1l, You are right. | 23:31 |
| crimsonmane | billbill: where are you at on the port forwarding? | 23:31 |
| crimsonmane | i had to step away | 23:31 |
| SlitazMint | crimsonmane to the rescue! | 23:31 |
| cordyceps | my partitions used to be automatically mounted on /media/<UUID> whenever I booted. Now I have to do it manually: mount -t <fs> /dev/sdn /mnt. Adding a line to fstab doesn't work. | 23:32 |
| Dmole | k1l: look we were not able to get drivers working in ubuntu after a whole day of trying stuff, we are just leaving so cool the off topic remarks | 23:32 |

| causative | in 12.04 how do I configure the launcher bar on the left? Right clicking it no longer brings up a settings menu | 23:40 |
| CopaceticMan | Ok, so I have installed the latest version of FreeMat. Everytime I run it from the console it tells me I need libpcre.so.0. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get this directory. What is the command to install this directory? | 23:41 |
| causative | specifically I want to make the launcher bar hide when I'm not using it | 23:42 |
| almoxarife | !info libpcre | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Package libpcre does not exist in quantal | 23:42 |

| almoxarife | !info pcre | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Package pcre does not exist in quantal | 23:43 |
| CopaceticMan | Ok, so this version of FreeMat is not compatible with 12.10? because the package does not exist in 12.10 | 23:44 |
| causative | trism, it had been overridden by an external program so I clicked restore to default, then turned hiding on | 23:45 |
| causative | but now it won't show up at all even when I move my bar to the left or to the top left corner | 23:45 |
| causative | er, move my mouse to the left or the top left corner | 23:45 |
| almoxarife | CopaceticMan: i cant really say, i was hoping it came up, but i have no clue what you are installing to begin with so i was just trying to pull a needle from the haystack | 23:46 |
