[00:03] <dscassel> Holla!
[00:04] <dscassel> Sadly, I need to do this from my phone. Hardware problems.
[00:05] <eightfold> howdy, i'm about to by my first laptop that i plan to run solely linux on.
[00:06] <eightfold> xubuntu or ubuntu is what i plan to install
[00:06] <eightfold> and this is the laptop https://shop.lenovo.com/ilind/IL/en/learn/products/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge/e135/index.html
[00:07] <arrrghhh2> Hey all.  I have 12.04 on a laptop, and acroread fails to launch from Firefox - I can launch acroread from cli, but when I open a PDF from Firefox, I get an error about the PATH.  When I run Firefox from command-line and open a PDF, I can see a permission denied error.
[00:07] <eightfold> however, it seems there are not so many linux reports on this machine. it has an AMD E-Series E-300 1.3 GHz cpu with AMD Radeon HD6310M graphics
[00:07] <eightfold> do you think it will rock ubuntu?
[00:07] <dr_willis> Radeon can be problematic..
[00:08] <arrrghhh2> eightfold: best way is using the livecd... but since you haven't bought it yet, and you MUST have linux - have you looked at system76?
[00:08] <dr_willis> but it could work fine.. it just depends on the exact chipset
[00:08] <eightfold> there's this: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201206-11151/
[00:08] <eightfold> but it doesn't share exactly the same cpu
[00:09] <eightfold> and gpu isn't mentioned
[00:10] <eightfold> arrrghhh2: no, i haven't. this comes so cheap right now so it's either buying this or buying nothing
[00:10] <eightfold> http://ubuntuforums.org/ seems to be down btw
[00:10] <arrrghhh2> eightfold: uhm... ok?
[00:11] <arrrghhh2> ubuntuforums.org is not down... use downforeveryone.com.
[00:12] <eightfold> arrrghhh2: should have checked before saying anything. well, rest of the intarwebs works here. except for http://ubuntuforums.org/
[00:12] <eightfold> might be some dns problem on my side
[00:12] <arrrghhh2> ok...
[00:12] <eightfold> might = must
[00:12] <arrrghhh2> anyhoo, I actually have a support question.
[00:12] <arrrghhh2> anyone have experience with acroread failing to launch from Firefox?
[00:13] <dwarder> hello
[00:13] <arrrghhh2> this thread summarizes my issues http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2034837
[00:14] <dwarder> i have a default vnc server installed - vino, i was wondering is it possible for a user to connect to another "display" so that it is not mirroring the main display?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: I use chrome, its all built in :)
[00:16] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: this isn't my machine... I don't really have a choice of using another browser/pdf viewer.
[00:16] <arrrghhh2> this used to work great... i don't understand what changed... it seems permissions related, but I can't figure out why.
[00:17] <almoxarife> dwarder: believe so, but you have to serve up the other display, x11vnc something does it
[00:17] <ubuntu-studio> Hi friends, my ubuntu 12.10 install is crashing upon startup and I'm attempted to diangose the log files in the /var folder but they are blank, i can get to a command line booting from the installed OS or a live cd option... could anyone assist please?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: launch the browser from terminal, it may give clues in the output
[00:18] <almoxarife> acroread is a ram hog
[00:18] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: yup, done that... which is why i think it's permissions.  would you mind helping?
[00:18] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  if the terminal stuff gives no errors, next thing i  would do would be making a new user. and seeing if the issue affects them. and test in the guest account.
[00:18] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: tried that as well.  issue follows the new user account.
[00:18] <arrrghhh2> terminal gives an error, but i don't know where to go with it.
[00:19] <dr_willis> can you run acroread stand alone from the terminal?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: i have little expeience of both
[00:19] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: yup.  would you mind reading this thread?  it details my issue exactly.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12368401#post12368401
[00:19] <dwarder> almoxarife: so i won't be able to do this with vino,right? i'll have to install x11vnc?
[00:19] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: OK thanks anyways :)
[00:20] <almoxarife> dwarder: i dont know enough about vino to make decision either way
[00:21] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  where exactly is libBIB.so  could be the binary is looking for it in the current directory where it was called from
[00:21] <dr_willis> how did you install that acroread anyway? normally the package manager dosent put stuff in /opt/ i thought
[00:22] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: it's in /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib - and when I run acroread and look at lsof and grep for acro, it shows libBIB in use.
[00:22] <dwarder> almoxarife: ok got it installed and running
[00:22] <arrrghhh2> and whether i install from the partner repo or get it directly from Adobe, it always installs to /opt dr_willis ... not sure why
[00:22] <johnnyonflame> I need a little help cleaning my build environment
[00:22] <dwarder> almoxarife: so i guess i just need to connect to 5901
[00:22] <dwarder> almoxarife: as opposed to 5600
[00:22] <dwarder> almoxarife: right?
[00:23] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  you could alter the library search path to include /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib  perhaps..
[00:23] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: can you expand on that?  not sure how that works...
[00:23] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  look in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
[00:23] <arrrghhh2> why would running acroread work, but running /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread doesn't?
[00:23] <arrrghhh2> OK
[00:23] <dr_willis> each file adds a path to the default lib path. try making one to add that acroread lib path
[00:24] <dr_willis> i would GUESS one being called from a diffrent direcory is causing it to look somewhere else for that lib.
[00:24] <almoxarife> dwarder: sounds like the right port, i found it opening multiple ports as i chose new displays, like i said, i dabbled with it just long enough to figure out that vnc'ing in from android was going to be a pain
[00:24] <dr_willis> i dont have acroread here at all. :) never seen a need to install it.
[00:24] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: do you have an example of how to add it?  i looked at all three .conf files in that folder, and it doesn't make a lot of sense...
[00:24] <arrrghhh2> ah ok... no worries.
[00:25] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  each file just contains a path..
[00:25] <dr_willis> cat libc.conf   # libc default configuration
[00:25] <dr_willis> /usr/local/lib
[00:25] <dr_willis> a comment. and a path. ;) about as simple as it gets
[00:25] <arrrghhh2> so just put the lib path?  OK
[00:25] <johnnyonflame> How can I clean up my build environment?
[00:25] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: too simple.  :P  do i need to restart any services?
[00:25] <johnnyonflame> It is all screwed up and wont compile properly anymore
[00:25] <almoxarife> dwarder: and anyway, what is wrong with a nice x-window via ssh?
[00:26] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  no idea.ive not had to mess with the lib paths in years. used to be you would run ldconfig
[00:26] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame, I like to make build dir and then from there I just cd <source>/build/rm *
[00:26] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: cool thx
[00:26] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame, what is lang ? got a branch ?
[00:26] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, no, what I mean is
[00:26] <johnnyonflame> I installed some packages
[00:26] <johnnyonflame> and I cant compile stuff anymore
[00:26] <dr_willis> arrrghhh2:  of course used to be you had a single ld.so.conf file :) not a directory of files..
[00:26] <johnnyonflame> due to LOADS of random incompatibilities
[00:27] <johnnyonflame> I need to clean up everything and start from scratch
[00:27] <otend> if I were to reformat my hard drive, and my Ubuntu partition to be thrown back on the drive is not the first partition on the drive at this point, what would I need to do?
[00:27] <johnnyonflame> and right now a full reinstall is not an optopn
[00:27] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: hrm.  well I'll reboot this machine just to be sure.  brb.  it didn't make a difference so far.
[00:27] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  ok I c what is it that you are trying to compile? what libs are needed ect. is this cmake ? make ? ect
[00:28] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, everything, I have sources that use cmake, ones that use make
[00:28] <johnnyonflame> etc
[00:28] <johnnyonflame> I need to remove all gcc stuff, etc
[00:28] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame, you use update-alternitives ?
[00:28] <johnnyonflame> I don't use it for quite a while
[00:29] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  if you are to just typ this into the computer sudo update-alternatives --config <TAB TAB TAB >
[00:29] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame, do you see the options that you can use like gcc ect
[00:29] <bobweaver> you can set what version{s} you would like to use
[00:30] <bobweaver> cmake clean up  CMakeList.txt
[00:30] <bobweaver> so that things match if you can not then fix the libs in the program ?
[00:30] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  ^^
[00:31] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, I get 125 references hitting tab
[00:31] <DerpyDerp> I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the Computer desktop display (From Tweak Ubuntu) can look more like Disk Usage Analyzer for a GUI.
[00:32] <bobweaver> yeah there is 125 things that you can configure then johnnyonflame  there is also " update-alternatives --query "
[00:32] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  like "update-alternatives --query gcc "
[00:32] <johnnyonflame> there's no query here
[00:32] <johnnyonflame> oh there is sorry
[00:32] <arrrghhh2> dr_willis: no dice :(
[00:33] <johnnyonflame> uh, nothing on gcc
[00:33] <arrrghhh2> /usr/bin/acroread: 23: exec: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: Permission denied
[00:33] <johnnyonflame> damn I think I'll end up having to do a clean install
[00:33] <johnnyonflame> :|
[00:33] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  you are sure that there is different versions ?
[00:33] <smacktalk1> anyone know how to get ntfs working on ubuntu?
[00:33] <DerpyDerp> I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the Computer desktop display (From Tweak Ubuntu) can look more like Disk Usage Analyzer for a GUI?
[00:33] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  sometimes it is best to use things like "testdrive "
[00:33] <arrrghhh2> smacktalk1: unless you're on some ancient version of Ubuntu, it should "just work"
[00:33] <bobweaver> !info testdrive | johnnyonflame
[00:33] <blackshirt> smacktalk1, ntfs was working greatly under linux
[00:34] <blackshirt> !ntfs-3g
[00:34] <johnnyonflame> yeah looks good
[00:34] <smacktalk1> thanks blackshirt!
[00:35] <blackshirt> good luck ...

[00:35] <DerpyDerp> Anyone?

[00:36] <bobweaver> er
[00:36] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, you mean sources?

[00:36] <johnnyonflame> git clone --depth 1 git://git.quakeforge.net/gitroot/quake/quakeforge
[00:36] <bobweaver> like branchs of code on git launchoad google coide ect
[00:36] <DerpyDerp> !info sources | DerpyDerp

[00:37] <DerpyDerp> Not sure what johnnyonflame meant.
[00:37] <bobweaver> DerpyDerp,  look for screenlets in sidtware center

[00:37] <arrrghhh2> anyone have experience with acroread and firefox?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2034837
[00:37] <bobweaver> conky ^^
[00:37] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, that is the command to clone the sources
[00:38] <bobweaver> !info quakeforge
[00:38] <bobweaver> Er
[00:38] <blackshirt> arrghhh2, why do you need acro read ... They have a bad reputation for linux
[00:39] <otend> to potentially reiterate the question from earlier while combining it with clarification: if I were to clear a hard drive aside from an Ubuntu partition at the end, what would I need to do to extend the Ubuntu partition backwards?
[00:39] <arrrghhh2> blackshirt: because the document viewer app doesn't let you modify forms... so if you have a PDF that is a form, you need acroread.
[00:39] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  that is a big project wonder if there is deb somewhere ?
[00:39] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, I actually NEED to build this
[00:39] <ubuntu> Does any body here know how to install rar and unrar on ubuntu?
[00:40] <johnnyonflame> just having the deb in hands wouldn't help much here
[00:40] <crimsonmane> otend: boot from a live CD or live USB and use GPARTED to resize the partition. note: the drive must not be mounted, so do not open it in a file browser
[00:40] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  what is your Ubuntu version ?
[00:40] <arrrghhh2> Guest95371: sudo apt-get install rar
[00:40] <otend> would anything more need to be done if resizing backwards?
[00:40] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, 12.04 iirc
[00:40] <Guest95371> arrrghhh2: thank man !
[00:40] <arrrghhh2> np
[00:40] <blackshirt> ubuntu, rar just a archive file format
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Guest95371: also install p7zip-rar p7zipfull unp unrar rar
[00:41] <bobweaver> johnnyonflame,  lets see compile errors plz in pastebin
[00:41] <arrrghhh2> oh right forgot about unrar
[00:41] <bobweaver> FULL errors
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: its also a command
[00:41] <arrrghhh2> derp
[00:41] <Guest95371> arrrghhh2: Im trying to install it on live cd but I cant it says couldnt find pakage
[00:41] <muji> hey, does anyone know why when i press the fn+lower brightness button, it only shows the screen darkning but it doesn't actually do it?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Guest95371: unp allows you to extract any achive type with one command, dead handy
[00:41] <johnnyonflame> bobweaver, there ain't much but /usr/bin/ld: ../../libs/video/targets/.libs/libQFx11.a(libQFx11_la-vid_x11.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
[00:41] <arrrghhh2> Guest95371: why are you installing things on the livecd?  you can, but it won't persist
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> muji: what model system?
[00:41] <johnnyonflame> and /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
[00:42] <Guest95371> arrrghhh2: because I need to take some info from a server to fix it
[00:42] <muji> i have a vaio f series laptop
[00:42] <arrrghhh2> uhm... ok...
[00:42] <Guest95371> ActionParsnip: arrrghhh2 ActionParsnip  it says Package p7zip-rar is not available
[00:42] <arrrghhh2> Guest95371: what are you actually doing?  you can't use zip?
[00:43] <Guest95371> Im trying to install it in a live cd
[00:43] <muji> ActionParsnip: i have a vaio f series laptop, model vpcf23jfx/b
[00:43] <Guest95371> arrrghhh2: I can use it but I need to press in rar
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> !info  p7zip-rar
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest95371: enable the multiverse repo
[00:43] <arrrghhh2> Guest95371: so move it off the machine?  you haven't really described why you need rar
[00:44] <smacktalk1> maybe that's not what I need ...i'm trying to connect to a freenas cifs share...
[00:44] <arrrghhh2> smacktalk1: samba client is included in Ubuntu
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> muji: tried the boot option: acpi_backlight=video

[00:48] <veryhappy> help guys... i messed up my kde, i tried to remove all the other stuff not needed for my graphics driver that was activated because i wanted to have the latest nvidia driver and now i have the latest nvidia driver running but i don't have window decorations anymore... all windows appear in the left upper edge of my kde what shall i do???
[00:48] <veryhappy> the install btw is a new fresh install from today

[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Vert: wassup?
[00:52] <arrrghhh2> Vert: he meant to send that message to someone else

[00:56] <blackshirt> hello
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> Vert: sorry, wrong target (tab fail) :)
[00:58] <arrrghhh2> so.. any suggestions?  acroread issues with Firefox?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: doesn't firefox have a list of apps to use when it gets files opened in it, and what apps to use
[00:59] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: I installed Chromium, and it just saves the PDF file...
[00:59] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: yep.  doesn't seem to matter how I tell it to use acroread, it always fails.
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: chromium doesn't have the inbuilt PDF reader, chrome does
[00:59] <Vert> It's k. I was just mildly confused. I've asked questions about kwin in the past so I was wondering if someone had checked their IRC after like 6 months or something. :p
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: what happens when you try to open a PDF?
[00:59] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: uhm... K.  I only saw Chromium in the repo
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: in firefox
[01:00] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: I get an error about how it's not in the path
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: yes, chrome isn't in the repos
[01:00] <arrrghhh2> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2034837 ActionParsnip
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: how did you install acroread?
[01:00] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: i've tried directly from Adobe, and the Partner repo.
[01:01] <arrrghhh2> I prefer the Partner repo, but it doesn't seem like Adobe is providing any Linux updates... for anything...
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc; uname -a
[01:01] <p0rk> does installing KVM with Ubunuta do anything different to the filesystem or grub than it does if you install without KVM?
[01:01] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: 1 sec.  it's 12.04
[01:01] <arrrghhh2> precise Linux my-laptop 3.2.0-32-generic-pae #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:54:23 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[01:02] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: what is the output of: ls -l /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
[01:02] <brad_> do they make a distro just for black people?
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> brad_: that is offtopic here
[01:02] <brad_> how so?
[01:02] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24525572 Mar 28  2012 /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> brad_: its not an ubuntu support question
[01:03] <brad_> i have black cousins, and they dont like unity
[01:03] <p0rk> wtf would race have to do with distro?
[01:03] <arrrghhh2> p0rk: don't feed the trolls...
[01:03] <p0rk> i dont like unity either and im white
[01:03] <arrrghhh2> lol
[01:03] <arrrghhh2> ok, that was funny
[01:03] <p0rk> im not feeding him
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> brad_: then tell them to try a different desktop to Gnome. The colour of their skin is irrelevant
[01:03] <p0rk> he wants to say some dumb sh!t, i want him to substantiate that dumb sh!t with fact
[01:03] <brad_> you got me..
[01:03] <arrrghhh2> meh
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> brad_: got you how...
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: if you run: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread   does it launch?
[01:04] <brad_> quantal 12.10 keeps downloading child porn to my desktop, is that a known issue?
[01:05] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: that's the strangest part - it does not.  if i run /usr/bin/acroread it runs, if i run /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread, it runs.
[01:05] <brad_> 12.04 always downloaded latina shit... but it was mostly legal
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: have you told firefox to use the longer file name to run the reader?
[01:05] <brad_> what im getting now is just outrageous
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> !ops | brad_ bored now
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: cheers
[01:06] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: I've tried telling Firefox to run it from all three file locations... none work.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: if you install another PDF reader and tell firefox to use that, is it ok?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: hmm, i may have a sneaky workaround
[01:07] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: like document viewer?
[01:07] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: At this point, I don't really care so long as it works lol

[01:09] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: cd $HOME; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb; rm ./google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: try chrome
[01:10] <arrrghhh2> hrm.  I can see if he likes it...
[01:10] <p0rk> does installing KVM with Ubunuta do anything different to the filesystem or grub than it does if you install without KVM?
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: worth a try, it can be removed :)
[01:13] <arrrghhh2> ActionParsnip: indeed.  I noticed that FF article is over a year old - that PDF viewer still isn't part of FF?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh2: no, it'll need adding. NOt sure if it works with newer versions
[01:14] <TeamColtra> Hey everyone, happy thanksgiving. I am trying to figure out why my laptop keeps going to a black screen on me… it happens usually when I am watching a video (XBMC or VLC) and assume it has something to do with my video card since my video card was having issues after I upgraded to Quantas (or whatever Q word)
[01:15] <TeamColtra> but I don't know where to start to find out what is happening and it seems nearly random
[01:15] <ubuntu-studio> can someone please help me restore my xorg file? im getting permissions issue and can't go to a different terminal
[01:15] <cakeboss> Hey all. I am wanting to make a shortcut to a file that requires super user permissions. How do I do that via terminal?
[01:16] <TeamColtra> ubuntu-studio sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> TeamColtra: what video chip do you use?
[01:16] <tonyyarusso> cakeboss: sudo ln -s
[01:16] <cakeboss> tonyyarusso: thanks
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> cakeboss: you can make a script to run:  gksudo /path/to/command
[01:17] <TeamColtra> ActionParsnip Radion somethinger-other. How do I check the exact card? lspci or something?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> cakeboss: a simple symlink will still only run as user
[01:17] <zatan> ActionParsnip hi how can I set to allow to erveryone read permission on folder ?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> TeamColtra: lspci | grep -i vga
[01:17] <cakeboss> ActionParsnip: Ill just whip something up in python then, I suppose
[01:17] <tonyyarusso> cakeboss: oh, wait - do you actually mean a shortcut to run something?
[01:17] <tonyyarusso> cakeboss: I may have misread.
[01:17] <cakeboss> tonyyarusso: yes
[01:17] <tonyyarusso> then yeah, what he said
[01:17] <cakeboss> tonyyarusso: I need to edit this file on a regular basis
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> what file?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> zatan: chmod a+r /path/to/folder     to apply to ALL subfiles and subfolders use:  chmod -R a+r /path/to/folder
[01:18] <tonyyarusso> Would it be more appropriate to add yourself to a group with write permission to it?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> cakeboss: its a 2 line bash script....
[01:18] <cakeboss> ActionParsnip: j
[01:18] <cakeboss> k*
[01:19] <dwarder> what to use instead of dreamweaver?
[01:19] <TeamColtra> ActionParsnip lspci | grep -i vga returns nothing (moves down to the next line in terminal)
[01:19] <zatan> ActionParsnip, nice thank u :)
[01:19] <ubuntu-studio> thank you teamcoltra bro
[01:19] <dwarder> on ubuntu
[01:19] <p0rk> twice in a row ive installed 12.04 fresh install and both times i get a corrupted fstab
[01:19] <dwarder> i.e. edid web pages
[01:19] <dwarder> edit
[01:19] <dwarder> web masters here?
[01:20] <TeamColtra> ActionParsnip but I just ran lspci and found it
[01:20] <bazhang> !html | dwarder
[01:20] <TeamColtra> ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [ Radeon HD 4200 Series]
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> TeamColtra: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:20] <dwarder> bazhang: which one should i try?
[01:21] <TeamColtra> dwarder there was one I think it was called genie or something and it was really good. Bluefish is nice but bloated.
[01:22] <TeamColtra> ActionParsnip Quantal
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> TeamColtra: The Xorg in Quantal hates Ati 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx GPUs. This PPA will help: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
[01:22] <TeamColtra> I was so close with Quantas
[01:22] <dwarder> TeamColtra: the only feature i realy need is to show me a preview while i'm edit html, that is all i need i think
[01:22] <TeamColtra> :D
[01:22] <TeamColtra> dwarder hmm I don't know about that one, sorry
[01:22] <delac> is it possible to search files from gnome-shell on 12.10?
[01:23] <dwarder> hmm hoe do i enable long press?
[01:23] <dwarder> i.e. i press backspace for a long time and it starts to press itself fast
[01:23] <dwarder> or any key
[01:23] <dwarder> somehow i have it disabled
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> delac: in s a terminal, run:  sudo updatedb
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> delac: when it finishes, you can use the locate command to search for files, and fast
[01:25] <mds-> hello i have a question.. i ran out of blank cds and i want to install ubuntu from a dvd. can someone help me try to decide which iso to get either i386, or amd64 is a compaq presario laptop series vpcel
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> mds-: what CPU do you use and how much RAM do you have?
[01:25] <mds-> i have 4 GB
[01:25] <mds-> and is amd i believe
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> mds-: Its probably a 64bit CPU, use 64bit Ubuntu :)
[01:26] <mds-> amd e-450 apu
[01:26] <delac> ActionParsnip: does not seem to work. you sure there is nothing I should install? I'm talking about using the gnome-shell overview to find those files.
[01:26] <mds-> ActionParsnip can you give me the url to download the iso so i can burn it to a dvd.
[01:26] <mds-> does ubuntu has or have any dvd isos?
[01:27] <mds-> i'm downloading this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso
[01:27] <tonyyarusso> mds-: yes
[01:27] <mds-> is it correct?
[01:27] <tonyyarusso> or at least has in the past
[01:28] <mds-> is that the right isO?
[01:28] <emman> Hi anybody has experience with zoneminder
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> mds-: looks fine, I use cdimage as well
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> mds-: as long as it passes MD5 test in the official site then source is moot
[01:28] <Ry`> Hi. I'm looking for the alternative download ISO for 12.10 but can't find it -anywhere-, can anyone assist?
[01:28] <DerpyDerp> Ok... the Conky solution and the Screenlets solution isn't what I wanted at all.
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: there isn't one
[01:28] <Ry`> ActionParsnip: Then I can't use ubuntu. Why isn't there one?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: you can use the mini iso if you want a text installer
[01:28] <mds-> ActionParsnip so it might be a bad image the one I'm downloading?
[01:29] <corvaxia> What is the best way to stream from my workstation (12.10) to my nexus 7?
[01:29] <Ry`> mini iso?
[01:29] <DerpyDerp> I want to be able to view all the volumes in Computer (on the desktop placed by Tweak Ubuntu) properly--space remaining, total space, VolID, etc.
[01:29] <DerpyDerp> Conky and Screenlets has nothing to do with this.
[01:30] <bazhang> DerpyDerp, gnome-shell has extensions for that
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Canonical-Drops-Alternate-CDs-from-Ubuntu-12-10-289338.shtml
[01:30] <DerpyDerp> bazhang: Like?
[01:30] <Ry`> ActionParsnip: That doesn't help people with unsupported video cards
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: yes, it installs a very small subset of the OS (no gui) and you can install packages as you need from there. It installs using the web
[01:30] <bazhang> DerpyDerp, go check their webpage
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: the mini iso installs in text mode
[01:30] <Ry`> Where is the mini iso?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Ry`: did you try various boot options for fixing video issues?
[01:31] <DerpyDerp> bazhang: Keep in mind that I'm using the unity display as it is Ubuntu 12.10
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> !mini | Ry`
[01:31] <bazhang> DerpyDerp, then you'd want unity lenses
[01:31] <Ry`> Thanks, ubottu and ActionParsnip.
[01:31]  * DerpyDerp looks up unity lenses.
[01:31] <Ry`> We'll see if it gives me enough tools to do what I need.
[01:32] <bazhang> DerpyDerp, gnome-shell is available for 12.10; I have it installed
[01:32] <DerpyDerp> bazhang: Wouldn't gnome-shell conflict with unity? They can't be running simultaneously... can they?
[01:33] <bazhang> DerpyDerp, they are both shells, so need to run seperately
[01:33] <DerpyDerp> bazhang: Ya, I don't want to do that just for a nicer UI.
[01:34] <DerpyDerp> I'll look into this Unity Lenses that you mentioned.
[01:35] <ShaneO> Welcome FRodrigues! You have achieved a new peak of 1564 users for #ubuntu!
[01:36] <bazhang> ShaneO, ?
[01:36] <ShaneO> hmm sorry idk what triggered that
[01:37] <DerpyDerp> bazhang: Did you mean "Unity GITHub Lens" package?
[01:38] <FRodrigues> hi! How do I set permanent Environment Variables?
[01:39] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available   DerpyDerp
[01:43] <mds-> is 12.04 a good iso to install?
[01:43] <mds-> or i just get the other one... 12.10? instead?
[01:45] <TeamColtra> Okay new problem: ActionParsnip I installed that PPA you suggested, but now my laptop shows the purple screen when it boots (solid - no ubuntu logo) then blank screen. Ctrl+Alt F2/3/4/5 do not take me into terminal
[01:46] <TeamColtra> and I tried to boot into grub, and that also only shows a blank screen
[01:46] <DerpyDerp> Thanks bazhang, going to restart.
[01:51] <rion> can anyone help with mount/unmount issues?
[01:52] <ubuntu-studio> can someone please help me to restore my xorg from the live cd
[01:53] <rion> can anyone help with mount/unmount issues?
[01:53] <ubuntu-studio> ive read through guides but am having no luck
[01:53] <ubuntu-studio> my xorg is hosed and when i boot normally i can't get a terminal, please help a noob bros
[01:53] <mickster04> !anyway
[01:53] <mickster04> !anyone
[01:55] <rion> I am trying to mount my windows 7 partition in order to access my files in ubuntu. every time i try to do so i get an error message saying that the file system is in use. help?
[01:55] <gordonjcp> rion: post the error message *verbatim*
[01:55] <rion> okay give me one sec, thank you
[02:00] <rion> im not getting the same error message anymore, just long instructions on how to mount
[02:01] <rion> i looked in gparted and it says that its mounted in /host. i tried to unmount so i can remount in a different directory but i can't do so because "umount: /host: device is busy.
[02:01] <rion>         (In some cases useful info about processes that use
[02:01] <rion>          the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))"
[02:03] <gordonjcp> gparted is probably not what you want
[02:03] <gordonjcp> the error message tells you exactly why you can't unmount it, something is using a file in the mounted file system
[02:03] <bazhang> rion, is this a wubi install
[02:03] <gordonjcp> it could be even something as daft as your current directory is in the mounted file system
[02:04] <rion> yes it is a wubi install
[02:04] <gordonjcp> oh
[02:04] <gordonjcp> oh no idea, then
[02:04] <bazhang> that would explain it
[02:04] <gordonjcp> wubi is horrile
[02:04] <rion> " it could be even something as daft as your current directory is in the mounted file system" - how do i go about fixing that?
[02:04] <gordonjcp> *horrible
[02:04] <gordonjcp> rion: change directory
[02:04] <gordonjcp> if you mount something on /mnt
[02:05] <gordonjcp> and you do "cd /mnt" then it will say the filesystem is busy
[02:05] <gordonjcp> I mean, it *is* busy, it's just not necessarily what you'd expect
[02:05] <gordonjcp> you can't saw off the branch you're sitting on
[02:05] <gordonjcp> rion: also, wubi should be banned
[02:06] <rion> haha okay. well im very new to this and i just have a very basic understanding of the coding
[02:06] <gordonjcp> whoever came up with it needs to have their hands set on fire, and then be stuffed into a barrel of rusty screwdrivers and brake fluid and rolled down a steep hill
[02:06] <rion> i created /mnt/windows i just can't mount the partition there
[02:06] <gordonjcp> yeah, I'm not surprised
[02:06] <gordonjcp> wubi basically doesn't work
[02:06] <WeThePeople> is there a program that can search for a specific word in a dir. and through its files?
[02:07] <gordonjcp> WeThePeople: grep
[02:07] <WeThePeople> cool
[02:07] <WeThePeople> didnt know grep did that
[02:07] <gordonjcp> that's what grep does, GRab Regular expression and Print
[02:07] <rion> so can i just move the mountpoint? or are you suggesting i uninstall and boot from cd?
[02:08] <gordonjcp> the trivial use is "grep someword *" which will search for any instance of someword in all files in the current directory
[02:08] <WeThePeople> sweeeeeettt
[02:08] <WeThePeople> im gonna try it
[02:08] <gordonjcp> rion: oh, I just thought
[02:09] <gordonjcp> rion: you might not be able to mount the windows partition, because it's already mounted, because it contains the filesystem image for Linux
[02:09] <gordonjcp> rion: mounting the windows filesystem on top of a wubi filesystem will make it go all Inception on you
[02:09] <mariusz111111111> how to configure vpn connection ??
[02:09] <gordonjcp> nn all
[02:10] <rion> haha okay that would make a lot of sense. so basically i gotta start over?
[02:10] <almoxarife> the win file system is mounted on a wubi install
[02:11] <rion> it is mounted, i just can't see it in my file browser
[02:11] <almoxarife> and it is as dangerous to muck about it as it is within win
[02:12] <almoxarife> rion: in terminal , 'locate windows' , should point to a folder
[02:12] <WeThePeople> goedonjcp, it goes like this grep| words  <or>  grep | words  ??
[02:13] <WeThePeople> gordonjcp, ^^^
[02:13] <rion> @almoxarife okay now it just scrolled through a million lines of code
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> rion: run:  ln -s /host ~/Windows
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> rion: makes life easier
[02:13] <gordonjcp> WeThePeople: where are you getting the pipe from?
[02:14] <gordonjcp> WeThePeople: I don't know what you're trying to do
[02:14] <gordonjcp> also, it's 2:15am and I'm off to bed
[02:14] <almoxarife> rion: no code, locations maybe
[02:14] <rion> nothing happened
[02:14] <WeThePeople> gordonjcp, ok so i dont need the pipe
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> rion: you can now open your home folder in the file browser (called nautilus) and see the link.
[02:14] <gordonjcp> not unless you're sending the output of grep somewhere
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> rion: the command doesn't output anything
[02:14] <cakeboss> Hey guys. Does anyone know how I can install pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade?
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> rion: this mounting of the host NTFS partition (imho) is the ONLY good thing about wubi
[02:15] <rion> still can't see it
[02:15] <rion> sorry if im being really annoying about this hha
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> rion: so when you open your home folder, with Pictures, Downloads etc, you don't see a folder called 'Windows'?
[02:15] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: wubi is good, say it
[02:15] <WeThePeople> gordonjcp, i would like to find 'start main content columns' in all the files in a dir without having to look through them manually
[02:16] <rion> awwwwww sheeeit eureka
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: NEVER!
[02:16] <rion> thank you good sirs
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> rion: so you can see it.
[02:16] <thiebaude> lol
[02:17] <almoxarife> another satisfied customer,  i wonder if he knows he can trash win from the wubi side?
[02:17] <daftykins> WUBI loves to break things
[02:17] <daftykins> it should totally be abandoned
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: replace 'things' with 'itself'
[02:18] <almoxarife> wubi is good, wubi makes men out of windoz users
[02:18] <almoxarife> and women
[02:18] <daftykins> err no
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> its fine to test for maybe a week or so, but long term its garbage
[02:18] <cakeboss> Can anyone tell me why pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade aren't showing up in the repositories?
[02:18] <daftykins> what it does is bring people in here with problems that are impossible to fix XD
[02:19] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, agree
[02:19] <cakeboss> ?
[02:20] <Stanley00> !info pygtk2 | cakeboss
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: had a user a while back with 'import' data and no backup held in a wubi install
[02:21] <daftykins> lol
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: we got there, but god it took an age to get there
[02:21] <daftykins> so it was locked in a prison? :D
[02:22] <Stanley00> cakeboss: python-gtk2 (source: pygtk): Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set. In component main, is optional. Version 2.24.0-3 (quantal), package size 805 kB, installed size 2956 kB
[02:22] <daftykins> ugh, did you have to mount the image files in Windows, or vice versa?
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: mount ntfs, loop mount wubi, alll explained via text.
[02:22] <daftykins> nasty
[02:22] <almoxarife> daftykins: i only found two issues that were particular to wubi/win, 1. losing grub after a kernel update (its fixable from the win side, stupid easy fix at that) 2. the file(partition) for ubutun turning into swiss cheese, not so easy, one has to repair the ntfs file sys first, and hope that did not cripple the wubi(ubuntu partition) :)
[02:22] <cakeboss> Stanley00: hm?
[02:22] <daftykins> user was obviously quite above average for the likes we get?
[02:23] <Stanley00> cakeboss: you can use python-gtk2, pygtk2 does not exist in ubuntu.
[02:23] <newzi> !upstart
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: slightly above but willing to try so terminal a-go-go
[02:23] <daftykins> almoxarife: i just don't see an advantage over resizing the NTFS
[02:23] <cakeboss> Stanley00: thanks
[02:23] <daftykins> ActionParsnip: i salute your effort and success good sir :)
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: you'll get one at some point?
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> :)
[02:24] <daftykins> lmao
[02:24] <newzi> !upstart | daftykins
[02:24] <daftykins> ActionParsnip: once i hear WUBI i tend to imagine hanging myself in my mind
[02:24] <daftykins> then i do the IRC equivalent of hide
[02:25] <daftykins> !tcf | newzi
[02:25] <plustax> quick question. im on 12.10. How do I access my laptop specs section? Like processor speed and ram available etc etc similar to right clicking and properties on windows
[02:25] <daftykins> newzi: not sure why you referred to me there
[02:25] <FRodrigues> I'm trying to compile kdevplatform but it's giving me an error: QWebView: No such file or directory
[02:25] <newzi> daftykins: Sorry wrong button
[02:26] <red_raven> Quick question. I was upgrading to 12.04 on my laptop (dual boots win7) and I had to shut it down during the unpacking stage. When I go into Ubuntu now a lot of stuff is messed up, but I think I can still get to a terminal via a keyboard shortcut. I can also get to the recovery mode in GRUB. What's the best way to go about fixing this?
[02:26] <Ry`> is there a particular desktop that's above and beyond these days? I have a few options; edubuntu, ubuntu desktop, xubuntu, kubuntu...
[02:26] <daftykins> plustax: you can get a bit with a program called lshw-gtk
[02:26] <almoxarife> daftykins: not everyone understands 'create a partition'
[02:26] <plustax> daftykins, theres no other way to check whats in my computer natively?
[02:26] <kriskropd> Can someone help me? I have this Audio card inside an ubuntu 12.10 desktop. The audio doesn't work and on random boots when it does it only comes out the right stereo side - no this is not a simple "is your audio mute" problem
[02:26] <daftykins> almoxarife: that's probably why the installer just has an automagic option
[02:27] <kriskropd> the card is http://pastebin.com/Hm79Jync
[02:27] <Ry`> oh, and lubuntu
[02:27] <daftykins> plustax: that program kinda is native once it's installed via APT ;) there's an 'about ubuntu' one that says processor + RAM too. what are you *actually* wanting to know?
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[02:28] <daftykins> red_raven: try using APT to install 'ubuntu-desktop' that should finish the install off by pulling from network, possibly
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | red_raven try this
[02:29] <shooyaaa> I have the problm before,My case is I uninstalled the alsa driver,but after reinstall it works
[02:29] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/EYthMYPM
[02:29] <almoxarife> daftykins: in terminal, first install a small utility, 'sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer' , then run the util, 'alsamixer' , and look for anything showing 'mm', that would be 'mute' , you want to un-mute the 'outputs' see if that helps
[02:29] <digadvan> hello.. I need a DNS - Bind expert. I'm trying to setup a slave DNS server using Bind9. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Any guidance would greatly appreciated.
[02:30] <daftykins> almoxarife: tab complete fail? :)
[02:30] <almoxarife> !alsamixer
[02:30] <red_raven> Daftykins: thx, I'll try it when I get time.
[02:30] <daftykins> red_raven: np, easiest might be to nuke and reinstall though :S
[02:30] <almoxarife> daftykins: what?
[02:31] <almoxarife> daftykins: got it
[02:31] <red_raven> I was thinking that to, but I need to be careful with my HDD b/c win7 is there to and I need it... A lot.
[02:32] <digadvan> hello.. I need a DNS - Bind expert. I'm trying to setup a slave DNS server using Bind9. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Any guidance would greatly appreciated.
[02:32] <daftykins> !repeat | digadvan
[02:33] <daftykins> digadvan: it's pretty simple to get a basic config going. google some guides?
[02:34] <almoxarife> daftykins: that simple?
[02:34] <digadvan> I did google some guides. do the zone files get automatically replicated to slave server?
[02:34] <red_raven> Ubotto: not sure what that does. It sounds like you're talking about a server.
[02:35] <almoxarife> digadvan: there is a channel dedicated to bind on freenode, #bind
[02:35] <digadvan> thanks
[02:36] <topper4125> Anyone have an opinion on the best iPod software on Ubuntu?
[02:36] <almoxarife> i didnt find bind simple at all, bind lingo is pretty intimidating
[02:39] <j35t3r> neat, got BitchX rollimg  a PIC on a 2" matrix lcd. lol typing ascii hex is not fast
[02:43] <j35t3r>  /whois j35t3r
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> topper4125: buy a hammer, write ubuntu on it them smash the ipod

[02:46] <Roey> hey all, I have my SPDIF OUT channel connected to my stereo system.  Why is it that when my stereo is muted, the SPDIF channel automatically gets muted after a while?  It didn't used to do this (I am on Ubuntu 12.10, and this started after I upgraded from 12.04)
[02:48] <j35t3r> can somebody ctcp me with version. ported a mix of code anh hw.
[02:50] <kriskropd> Can someone help me? I have this Audio card inside an ubuntu 12.10 desktop. The audio doesn't work and on random boots when it does it only comes out the right stereo side - no this is not a simple "is your audio mute" problem (hhttp://pastebin.com/Hm79Jync
[02:50] <_cyber> ciao
[02:51] <ccc> hello
[02:51] <j35t3r> thx...got to put that on a device with http ;]
[02:51] <ccc> can someone reccomend a free PCAnywhere program i can download for Ubuntu
[02:51] <ccc> that also has a windows port
[02:51] <randomuser15> ccc like vnc?
[02:52] <ccc> i want to remotely connecto my ubuntu box from a windows 7
[02:52] <randomuser15> ya, you could use vnc
[02:52] <daftykins> ccc: VNS as randomuser15 says
[02:52] <daftykins> *VNC
[02:52] <kriskropd> ccc there is vnc, rdp, and nx - take your pick
[02:52] <almoxarife> kriskropd:  Capabilities: <access denied> <-- from your paste, user is not allowed access to it?
[02:52] <rocky> hi i am trying to rest my password i type passwd and it asks twice for password and i get error -passwd: authenication token manipilation error
[02:52] <rocky> can anyone help
[02:53] <kriskropd> almoxarife: how would i make sure user can access it?
[02:53] <almoxarife> ccc: 'teamviewer'
[02:53] <rocky> crimsonmane_ been super helpful
[02:53] <ccc> do you mean TightVNC?
[02:53] <randomuser15> ccc that would work 2
[02:53] <kriskropd> rocky: did you run 'sudo passwd username' ?
[02:54] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, do pipes go after and before grep??
[02:54] <rocky> i am at root@ubuntu
[02:54] <rocky> but i do not remember my root passwored
[02:54] <almoxarife> kriskropd: that output was from what command?
[02:54] <kriskropd> rocky: how? ubuntu has root disabled
[02:54] <randomuser15> sudo su?
[02:55] <kriskropd> almoxarife: lspci -v, i can run it again as super user
[02:55] <almoxarife> kriskropd: i am going to run it on this end, let me see if user gets the same result
[02:55] <kriskropd> almoxarife: there is also this mess of my setup if you want it http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5ecc85b72f9d7c71ca07f4be44f0563be5a39b59
[02:56] <kriskropd> almoxarife: Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1
[02:56] <rocky> i trying reset password
[02:56] <ccc> what is the keyboard shortcut to pen a terminal
[02:56] <almoxarife> kriskropd: same response here, nevermind my comment
[02:56] <randomuser15> rocky reboot and goto recovery mode.
[02:56] <kriskropd> ccc ctrl+Alt+t
[02:57] <kriskropd> almoxarife: its oaky, it may be worth knowing
[02:57] <kriskropd> okay*
[02:57] <randomuser15> rocky from there pick root terminal?? or root shell?
[02:57] <timbishjr> hello. Newb here. How does this all work?
[02:57] <rocky> im at root@ubuntu
[02:58] <almoxarife> kriskropd: you have two audio cards?
[02:58] <randomuser15> rocky what happens when you passwd root?
[02:58] <rocky> i type passwd and it asks enter new UNix password
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> rocky: seting a root password isn't required or supported
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> rocky: just use the user you setup at install and use sudo, you'll have an easier time
[02:58] <rocky> well i do know how to change permissions as i forgot my root password
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> rocky: there isn't one
[02:59] <rocky> k will try
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> rocky: the account is disabled in a default install too
[02:59] <randomuser15> rocky did you set a password for root?
[02:59] <kriskropd> almoxarife: three technically, the mobo embeeded one burnt out or something awhile back, the ati 5700 hd radeon video card has hdmi out, and then i have that VIA pci sound card thats worked fine in windows and occasionally (very randomly) in linux
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> rocky: the sooner you forget root, the easier you will find tings
[02:59] <randomuser15> :)
[02:59] <rocky> k i rebootin the comp
[03:00] <j35t3r> rocky wh4t ver of MS u on
[03:00] <rocky> 12.10
[03:01] <ccc> do you guys now an alternate link for this sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
[03:01] <ccc> it wont work
[03:01] <randomuser15> vnc is already installed.
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> !info tightvncserver
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> ccc: do you have the universe repo enabled?
[03:02] <blocky> what package do I need to install to get windows file sharing working?
[03:02] <ccc> no
[03:02] <ccc> im running a fresh install
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> blocky: install samba
[03:02] <randomuser15> blocky samba
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> ccc: then that's why
[03:02] <blocky> its already installed
[03:02] <ccc> how do i run it
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> blocky: then use nautilus to share folders
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> ccc: use software centre
[03:03] <rocky> is there a way to tell who admin is
[03:03] <blocky> oh hmm i think it is working
[03:04] <blocky> im not seeing any files because nautilus mounts ntfs filesystems as root by default, doesn't it
[03:05] <Nice> hi
[03:05] <kriskropd> rocky: sudo cat /etc/group | grep sudo
[03:06] <almoxarife> kriskropd: install 'pavucontrol' run it, it allows for mutiple card control, thats how i used to manage the HTC with multiple cards
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> blocky: oh, sharing ntfs via samba gets messy
[03:06] <blocky> whats the best way to share it?
[03:07] <TheLordOfTime> not sharing NTFS first off.
[03:07] <almoxarife> blocky: share via 'sftp'
[03:07] <blocky> this is for streaming media
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> blocky: you can add the NTFS in /etc/fstab and set different mount options, may help
[03:08] <kriskropd> almoxarife: this is so weird, im playing a file in vlc with pavucontrol open, and its showing the meter under my sound card moving, its detecting audio output but its not outputting any audio :(
[03:08] <randomuser15> almoxarife that would require install ssh in windows :(
[03:08] <almoxarife> randomuser15: and?
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: is the system a laptop?
[03:08] <blocky> almoxarife: I'm trying to stream hd video to xbmc
[03:08] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: no, it's a custom built machine circa 2009
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: using normal speakers?
[03:09] <Evil_Eric> dosent the 32 bit edition come with pea already activated?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: if you run:  alsamixer    are all levels unmuted and cranked?
[03:09] <almoxarife> blocky: stream to xbmc? or from?
[03:09] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: normal as in 2 stream stereo, sure
[03:09] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: yes
[03:09] <JamesNZ> Evil_Eric: yes I think so.
[03:09] <Evil_Eric> thanks
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: has it worked under Linux before?
[03:10] <blocky> almoxarife: to
[03:10] <almoxarife> blocky: use ntfs then
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> blocky: if you add the mount option:  uid=1000   it may help but sharing NTFS is very messy
[03:10] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: it worked twice with both side outputting correctly, maybe a dozen times where only output would come through the right output on stereo, and then every other time: no
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: wait 10 seconds and reboot
[03:11] <almoxarife> blocky: xbmc is on the ubuntu?
[03:11] <blocky> no, xbmc is windows
[03:11] <kriskropd> ive done that before but im fine with a reboot on the machine
[03:11] <blocky> content is on linux
[03:12] <almoxarife> blocky: setup a ntfs server on the linux?
[03:12] <blocky> to play videos?
[03:12] <almoxarife> blocky: to server vid to xbmc on the win
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> blocky: does the USB device get used in Windows systems?
[03:13] <blocky> hmm?
[03:14] <zoneout83> <-- Still working on wireless card wusb100 I just compiled my own driver rt2870.dat I think is the file or at least I ran make on the directory I got from a DLink site and I don't know what to do from here.
[03:14] <edoedo> I am new
[03:14] <ccc_> how do I get an app that is jammed up in the Ubuntu Software center progress button out
[03:14] <almoxarife> blocky: seems to me that of you had an instance of xbmc on the ubuntu set to serve via upnp, then you could get same result, on the win side you would be looking for a upnp server
[03:15] <JamesNZ> ccc_: You mean stop the software center from finishing a job?
[03:15] <ccc_> i was installing wine and it got stuck on applyung changes
[03:16] <edoedo> I lost my Pidgin internet messenger , how do I find it?
[03:16] <ccc_> the install bar is stuck half way
[03:16] <JamesNZ> edoedo: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[03:16] <edoedo> What is sudo?
[03:16] <kriskropd> kay ive rebooted the machine, right now its doing the "only right side works" thing
[03:16] <JamesNZ> ccc_: Maybe try from terminal?
[03:16] <kriskropd> almoxarife: ActionParsnip  ^^
[03:16] <edoedo> I am new to Ubuntu and it seems doing better than windows 7
[03:17] <JamesNZ> edoedo: It's a command to run in the terminal, it gives you root priveleges for a particular job.
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: depends on needs ;)
[03:17] <almoxarife> kriskropd: could it be hardware related? tried using earbuds?
[03:17] <kriskropd> almoxarife: ActionParsnip  actually it smore like the left side is incredibly faint compared to the right
[03:17] <wyclif> Happy Thanksgiving everybody
[03:17] <kriskropd> almoxarife: actually i was curious of that, just now i tried a different set of headphones and its the same results
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: if you ALT+TAB do you get it?
[03:18] <edoedo> I found it , yay!!!
[03:18] <edoedo> Thanks folks!
[03:18] <timbishjr> How do you find cool channels and such?
[03:19] <almoxarife> timbishjr: this one not cool enough?
[03:19] <Evil_Eric> timbishjr type this /list
[03:19] <kriskropd> almoxarife: ActionParsnip weird, if i turn off stereo volume lock and individually adjust the stereo volumes, turning up the left volume just raises the right stereo volume
[03:19] <almoxarife> this /list
[03:19] <timbishjr> :D I guess I'm just looking for someone to walk me through this process. I'm not sure what all the terminology and such means.
[03:19] <almoxarife> ?
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> !alis | timbishjr
[03:20] <almoxarife> kriskropd: you set to mono somehow?
[03:20] <edoedo> Can you tell me what should I learn or how should I learn more from Ubuntu?
[03:20] <kriskropd> almoxarife: i think thats what its doing, but its monoing to the right side and not spreading it to both output channels, or very very incredibly faintly to the left
[03:21] <timbishjr> so how do you find chat rooms based around, say, Glee or other such interests?
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: I'd just use th OS for now, get used to it a little
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> timbishjr: the alis command helps
[03:21] <kriskropd>  also, rebooting, i think i managed to crash pule audio somehow O.o
[03:21] <kriskropd> pulse*
[03:21] <almoxarife> timbishjr: this is not the place to ask
[03:21] <timbishjr> what is the place>
[03:21] <almoxarife> timbishjr: no idea
[03:21] <edoedo> To ActionParsnip: where can I learn more LInux words like ... gurb , glee or something that I have never seen it before.
[03:21] <timbishjr> alrighty then
[03:22] <JamesNZ> timbishjr: Google ;D
[03:22] <almoxarife> glee :)
[03:22] <xangua> linux glee¿ o_O
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: maybe in #glee
[03:22] <almoxarife> i am old, i can tell
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: not aware of any glee channels
[03:22] <edoedo> Okayh
[03:22] <edoedo> I mean okay
[03:23] <almoxarife> !help glee
[03:23] <edoedo> One more thing....
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: i'm the same. my girlfriend watches it
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: sup?
[03:23] <edoedo> I have hard time to connect or join Puppy Linux .... when reboot it then it won't do more when I returned it. Why is that?
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: if you connect to irc.geekshed.net:6667 there is #glee there
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: type:   /join #puppylinux     and you will join the channel
[03:25] <edoedo> ActionParsnip: do you mean when I reboot then type it ?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: no need to reboot
[03:25] <edoedo> Okay Where do Go to /join #pupplylinux
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: where you just typed that, type the join command
[03:27] <timbishjr> msg list
[03:28] <edoedo> wow
[03:28] <edoedo> Thanks , ActionParsnip
[03:28] <kriskropd> almoxarife: ActionParsnip so i rebooted it again, and his time it doesnt pavucontrol doesnt even see my via sound card, it's replace it with "dummy"
[03:28] <edoedo> I think they are closed
[03:29] <edoedo> I will have to come back another time.
[03:29] <almoxarife> kriskropd: can you bypass audio output devices via bios?
[03:29] <kriskropd> almoxarife: maybe, ill see about that
[03:30] <davidmriverog> saludos todos los ubunteros
[03:32] <kriskropd> almoxarife: there is an option to re-assign pci1 and pci2 IRQ, but nothing directly about audio device priority :(
[03:34] <kriskropd> almoxarife: hm, im concerned about why its calling it a "dummy output" now :( i hope the sound card didn't JUST die
[03:35] <kriskropd> lspci -v still sees the card, but pavucontrol does not
[03:37] <ggenio> http://192.168.2.3:8080/HiWellcome
[03:37] <chick3n> when i open fstab in nano it says converted from mac format
[03:37] <chick3n> why?
[03:37] <zoneout83> So I have this issue with my wireless nic, every time I download anything big it freezes up on me. Anyone?
[03:38] <kriskropd> almoxarife: yeah, it snot showing up at all in any gui sound control anymore, not even alsamixer, i think the card just died - which might explain the odd behavior but not why it died)
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: what wifi chip is it?
[03:41] <gilles> hello, Im trying to change my log in password on ubuntu 10.04, i went into about me in system..trying to change it, but when i hit apply it freezes and doesnt change anymore.. any other ideas please?
[03:41] <zoneout83> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1737:0070 Linksys WUSB100 v1 RangePlus Wireless Network Adapter [Ralink RT2870]
[03:41] <ggenio> dooma09: Hi, http://192.168.2.3:8080/HiWellcome
[03:41] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, up
[03:42] <kriskropd> almoxarife: i now its back -_- no audio though - this is what bothers me about linux, inconsistent drivers
[03:42] <zoneout83> modprobe -l
[03:42] <zoneout83> oops
[03:43] <kriskropd> gilles: can you run 'sudo passwd username' and change the password that way?
[03:43] <lollko> gn
[03:44] <gilles> kriskropd: the exact command please?
[03:44] <kriskropd> giles that is the exact command, replace username with the actual name of the account you are trying to change. ex. 'sudo passwd kriskropd'
[03:44] <kriskropd> gilles: *
[03:45] <gilles> i think i got it
[03:45] <lahwran> how do I tell what version of fglrx I have installed? and once I know, how would I go from there to the experimental drivers that steam needs to run?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: are you in Europe?
[03:46] <almoxarife> lahwran: has someone set the drivers up on a ppa?
[03:46] <lahwran> almoxarife: I don't know, which is why I'm asking
[03:46] <lahwran> google is bringing up news sites
[03:47] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, No I'm in the US, Ohio, near toledo if your interested
[03:47] <almoxarife> lahwran: so you would like to have someome research that for you?
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: not finding any module options
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: Does it use rt2870sta module?
[03:48] <lahwran> I'd like someone who has already done it to share their existing findings with me, or I'd like someone who hasn't done it to help me do it since as I just said my attempt did not go as planned
[03:48] <zoneout83> I found a driver for an rt2870 but I'm not sure what to do with it
[03:48] <zoneout83> looks like it
[03:48] <chick3n> why would my files be in mac format on my server?
[03:48] <chick3n> its a brand new install of 12.04 server
[03:48] <zoneout83> I have gotten as far as downloading the firmware and making the driver
[03:49] <zoneout83> but make install seems to toss some errors? mayhap I shouldn't be doing make install
[03:49] <almoxarife> lahwran: i am willing to help, you google it though, tag the drivers to a ppa and give me the link
[03:49] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, sorry i keep forgetting to put your name in my replies I have 3 up
[03:49] <kriskropd> almoxarife: haha, so it turns out my card IS in fact producing audio when ive said it wasn't producing output, its just so incredibly low that i've max amplified the sound on alsamixer and boosted the output with a guitar amplifier XD
[03:50] <almoxarife> kriskropd: give it up, the card or worse is trashed
[03:51] <almoxarife> boosted via guitar amp :)
[03:51] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, did you see where I posted I have the problem of when I download stuff watch youtube or even try to update (which I did tediously) I get disconnected unless when it hangs i disconnect then reconnect?
[03:51] <kriskropd> almoxarife: yeah, i think its dieing, idk why ubuntu did it but this is what i imagine an IC dieing would be like
[03:51] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, right now it has the rt2800 driver in
[03:51] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, not sure where I got that info anymore though
[03:51] <almoxarife> kriskropd: i dont think linux killed kenny
[03:51] <timbishjr> hello
[03:52] <zoneout83> LOL @ almoxarife
[03:52] <kriskropd> almoxarife: maybe not, but it was alone in the forest with it when it happened
[03:52] <almoxarife> kriskropd: :)
[03:55] <almoxarife> kriskropd: you got a win install disk? xp?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: let me have a sniff around
[03:55] <kriskropd> almoxarife: somewhere around here probably, id need to make a new partition to install it tho
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: did you blacklist rt2800pci ?
[03:56] <almoxarife> kriskropd: i was thinking more along the lines of vbox, but i dont know that sound would be created by the card, so nevermind that
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: actually try this
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: echo "options rt2800usb nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf > /dev/null
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: reboot to test
[03:58] <lahwran> almoxarife: so it looks like I have fglrx-updates installed, but I'm supposed to install fglrx-experimental-something
[03:58] <lahwran> almoxarife: I don't see that when I apt-cache search fglrx
[03:58] <kriskropd> almoxarife: ive already got at least 1 winxp and 1 win7 vbox, but idk how i would directly control the pci audio card through vbox
[03:58] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, I still her I was trying something I found.. let me show you see what you think
[03:58] <almoxarife> lahwran: where would the 'experimental' come from?
[03:58] <lahwran> almoxarife: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
[03:58] <zoneout83> http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Ralink_RT2870
[04:00] <almoxarife> lahwran: In 12.04, launch the Additional Hardware Drivers dialog from System Settings. In 12.10, launch Software Properties, then click on the Additional Drivers tab in the Software Sources menu. <-- did you follow those directions?
[04:00] <kriskropd> almoxarife: im actually giving up for now, thanks for your help though
[04:00] <lahwran> almoxarife: I did, and I only see fglrx and fglrx-updates
[04:01] <kriskropd> almoxarife: i'll probably try a dual boot windows and play with it a lil more, but my priority plan is to buy a new sound card
[04:01] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, what do I do to fix it if it doesn't work I'm on the said computer and this is my only connection right now lol
[04:01] <almoxarife> lahwran: Download the Steam Client. <-- did you do that part? it may be in the package?
[04:01] <FRodrigues> how can I set Environment variables automatically?
[04:02] <lahwran> almoxarife: do you intend to be helpful with this, or are you just going to insult me?
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> zoneout83: then delete the file the command makes and re-reboot
[04:02] <almoxarife> lahwran: the first, the latter insults me too
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> FRodrigues: you can set them in ~/.bashrc
[04:03] <almoxarife> lahwran: i dont know jack about steam or ati drivers, so its a matter of finding the 'experimental' drivers
[04:03] <FRodrigues> ActionParsnip, in the end?
[04:04] <lahwran> almoxarife: okay, look, this is what I did: I installed fglrx-updates, then downloaded steam and tf2. I tried to run it and it complained about the driver missing extensions. I happen to have already read about there being an experimental driver, so I assumed that the problem was that I need said experimental driver. however, I don't see it in the repos, despiet that the wiki page claims it should be in the 12.04 default repos
[04:04] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, I'm somewhat new which file the conf or the dev/null
[04:04] <zoneout83> ActionParsnip, new to linux that is
[04:06] <zoneout83> guess I'll be back worse case I have to go to a friends or move my entire compute to my bedroom next to my router until I fix it lol
[04:06] <edoedo> Hello, I have a question
[04:06] <zoneout83> edoedo, usually that's anoying just ask your question lol
[04:06] <almoxarife> !info fglrx-installer-experimental
[04:06] <edoedo> Whatever I put the program on it then how can I clean up my history?
[04:06] <lahwran> almoxarife: found it, it was in the partner repo
[04:06] <edoedo> SOrry zoneout83
[04:06] <DaemonicApathy> zoneout83: delete /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf he means
[04:07] <edoedo> lol
[04:07] <zoneout83> DaemonicApathy, thanks, and edoedo I'm not an op but it's in the rules somewhere
[04:07] <DaemonicApathy> !ask
[04:07] <almoxarife> lahwran: :)
[04:08] <kriskropd> edoedo: do you mean your web browsing history or file browsing history or... ?
[04:08] <edoedo> Yes, Kriskropd
[04:08] <edoedo> browsing
[04:08] <redlance> Evening everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans.  I'm sure this is an easy one, but I can't figure out the right words to get an answer from Google.  On Ubuntu 12.04, how do I make it so that when I insert a video CD, it launches handbrake instead of movie player?
[04:08] <kriskropd> edoedo: edoedo in your web browser, hit these keys "ctrl+alt+del" and it will bring up your janitorial options
[04:09] <kriskropd> edoedo: im sry, ctrl+shift+del
[04:09] <kriskropd> dont hit ctrl+Alt+Delt :)
[04:09] <almoxarife> kriskropd: bad man
[04:09] <DaemonicApathy> redlance: System Settings > Details > Removable Media
[04:09] <kriskropd> honest mistake, im tired >_<
[04:09] <edoedo> Thanks
[04:11] <redlance> DaemonicApathy, Thanks!
[04:11] <DaemonicApathy> Any time, redlance.
[04:12] <red_raven> I botched an update and a lot of things are skewed up. How do I open terminal from within nautilus? I'm just looking for its executable so I can run apt-get install Ubuntu desktop and retry the update that way.
[04:12] <DaemonicApathy> red_raven: Ctrl+Alt+T no longer works?
[04:13] <kriskropd> red_raven: if that hotkey doesn't work, you can hit alt+f2 and type either 'gnome-terminal' or if you lack that program type 'xterm'
[04:13] <edoedo> Okay after I done my ctrl+shift+del then what?
[04:14] <DaemonicApathy> What is Alt+F2 by default?
[04:14] <red_raven> Unfortunately not. Things are really screwed up. Even the graphics for the login screen were pretty.....wrong.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> red_raven: just press CTRL+ALT+T and you get a terminal
[04:14] <kriskropd> edoedo: it should bring up a lil menu box with options to clean your history and cache and cookies or bookmarks and etc, select which ones you want to remove
[04:14] <DaemonicApathy> red_raven: create an executable text file that says "gnome-terminal" without quotes, if nothing else works.
[04:14] <edoedo> If I hit ... ctrl+shift+del then all the history is gone, correct?
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> DaemonicApathy: ALT+F2 opens dialogue similar to the the run dialogue in windows
[04:14] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: I think that only works in unity and gnome
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: in web browsers, yes
[04:15] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: the hotkey i meant
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: which shortcut?
[04:15] <DaemonicApathy> Ah, right...Unity...>_>
[04:15] <edoedo> just at one a time then it gone for good?
[04:15] <red_raven> What do I put as the file type?
[04:15] <FRodrigues> is there some program that allow me to do simple things like copy or open with sudo in nautillus?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: yes it wil clean what you say
[04:15] <red_raven> Alt f2 isn't working.
[04:15] <edoedo> Okay one more --- where can I learn all the information about all those stuff like ctrl or del or alt or much more?
[04:16] <kriskropd> edoedo: some borwsers offer you to select how far back to erase, you can select everything or just the last hour or whatever
[04:16] <Th3Pun15h3r> no just run a terminal and sudo nautilus
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> FRodrigues: you can use nautilus scripts for that
[04:16] <edoedo> Okay
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> Th3Pun15h3r: gksudo for GUI apps
[04:16] <DaemonicApathy> red_raven: Right click, new text file, open, type "gnome-terminal" without quotes, right click, properties, permissions, execute as program checked, close properties, double click on file, run
[04:16] <edoedo> what about whole day?
[04:16] <kriskropd> edoedo: ehm, i learn my hotkeys slowly over a lot of time... i suppose you can google "hotkeys for 'program name'"
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: some browsers (like chrome/ium) have lengths of time you can delete)
[04:16] <jubei> guys how can I stop lightdm during graphical install
[04:16] <kriskropd> edoedo: if you hit ctrl+shift+del you will see all your options, it variesa ccording to browsers
[04:17] <DaemonicApathy> red_raven: I forgot "save and close" between typing gnome-terminal and right clicking.
[04:17] <kriskropd> varies*
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> FRodrigues: just run:  gksudo nautilus    and you'll be ok
[04:17] <jubei> i do "service lightdm stop" but it says already stopped, yet if I do ctrl-F7 lightDM is still running
[04:17] <edoedo> Okay thanks
[04:17] <FRodrigues> ok
[04:17] <jubei> Alt-F7 even
[04:17] <almoxarife> edoedo: kriskropd, then there is 'bleachbit' , does it all without all the guessing work
[04:17] <FRodrigues> ActionParsnip, ok thanks again!
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> FRodrigues: keeps its use to a minimum :)
[04:17] <FRodrigues> of course
[04:17] <kriskropd> red_raven: can you hit ctrl+alt+f2 ? that will send you to a runtime level, you can log in through here and run you upgrade like this if worse comes to worse
[04:17] <edoedo> bleachbit?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: its a temp file cleaner, like ccleaner in windows
[04:18] <almoxarife> edoedo: yes, a package that can be installed
[04:18] <kriskropd> edoedo: its an application available in aptitude
[04:18] <kriskropd> !bleachbit
[04:18] <edoedo> Oh okay
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: use it carefully, you may remove settings you want and avoid settings that say it will take a long time
[04:19] <kriskropd> *ubotto fails me*
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: you can make factoids if you wishj
[04:19] <edoedo> Okay, I am learning
[04:19] <almoxarife> kriskropd: it knows you killed the card
[04:19] <kriskropd> :(
[04:19] <DaemonicApathy> !info bleachbit | kriskropd
[04:19] <edoedo> the more I play with it the more I learn
[04:19] <edoedo> brb
[04:19] <kriskropd> ah, ty DaemonicApathy , wrong syntax
[04:19] <DaemonicApathy> np
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: you can suggest factoids and if they are deemed good, they will be add to ubottu's brain and she will reply with your text
[04:20] <almoxarife> !info fslint
[04:20] <DaemonicApathy> You can also message ubottu in private, to avoid spamming chat rooms too much.
[04:21] <almoxarife> DaemonicApathy: or hangout in #ubuntu-bot
[04:21] <lcabreza2> hi, need some help here. Why is it that i don't have /var/log/messages, user.log debug and other importan logs. I'm using 12.04?how do i fix this ? do i just create a file?
[04:22] <almoxarife> bots?
[04:22] <DaemonicApathy> almoxarife: That's new to me, thanks. :-)
[04:22] <almoxarife> #ubuntu-bots
[04:22] <lcabreza2> hi, need some help here. Why is it that i don't have /var/log/messages, user.log debug and other importan logs. I'm using 12.04?how do i fix this ? do i just create a file?
[04:23] <almoxarife> ice799: messages=syslog in ubuntu
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> lcabreza2:try /var/log/syslog
[04:24] <lcabreza2> lotuspsychje: i have that ? did they rename it to that instead of messages ?
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> lcabreza2:all important logs are mostly in syslog..what excactly you want to find?
[04:25] <almoxarife> lcabreza2: no, its not renamed, its been syslog, opensuse uses 'messages' for one
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> !info colortail | lcabreza2
[04:25] <kriskropd> almoxarife: RHEL uses /var/log/messages to though, so its probably more common than syslog
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> lcabreza2: try a colortail -f /var.log/syslog for logs in realtime
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> /var/log
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> handy little package
[04:27] <almoxarife> kriskropd: i would say the more common is the more used, what you want to bet that there are more ubuntu users these days than ?????
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> !zeitgeist > lotuspsychje
[04:28] <kriskropd> almoxarife: lol thats my argument to the RHEL preachers
[04:28] <swex> hey anybody have permanent disk io?
[04:28] <swex> I've got jdb2 writing every couple seconds..
[04:29] <swex> that's terrible
[04:29] <red_raven> Ok I was able to make a text file but the terminal window is black so I can't see what I'm doing. It looks like I can open a text file as a terminal command instead of an executable. What command should I use exactly?
[04:29] <kriskropd> but RHEL is where the certs and professors teachnig nix are at, so you have more scholarly admins that think its /var/log/messages
[04:29] <swex> I don't find actual bug for this issue, I mean I found alot of threads with this problem but no solution...
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: users or systems ;)
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> !info iotop | swex
[04:29] <lcabreza2> almoxarife|lotuspsychje : http://pastebin.houston.hp.com/pastebin.php?show=13499 this is what i use to have
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: you can be ubuntu certified....
[04:30] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: users i would say, but then it takes a sys to have a user
[04:30] <swex> !info iotop
[04:30] <swex> ))
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: you need LPI 101 and 102 first, but it is a thing
[04:30] <kriskropd> ActionParsnip: i know you can, but im always seeing RHEL certs in the job descriptions, not ubuntu :/
[04:30] <red_raven> Sorry, the command I need is the one that will upgrade ubuntu to 12.04 therefore overwriting the current messed up version.
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: true but few admins work on many many servers
[04:30] <swex> lotuspsychje: so what? I used it to understand whos writing...
[04:30] <swex> I'd like to know how to fix that
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: both are good certs to have if you want to manage Linux boxes
[04:31] <kriskropd> no doubt :) ubuntu is the direction its all going afterall
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: the differences are subtle but need accommodating :)
[04:31] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: my point is that syslogs have more audience now, well, they have machines they are running on, not sure the audience has caught on
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: Wikipedia uses it on its servers
[04:31] <kriskropd> i tell all the RHEL students to learn ubuntu server in their spare time
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> kriskropd: why not both, or all 3 :D
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: I'd run a syslog server and have all servers log to that
[04:32] <lcabreza2> kriskropd: when you learn to convinient on a debian enviroment ..you will never look back on RHEL ..
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> !details | swex
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: or a few, for redundancy
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip:tnx again for feedindicator, working flawless rss spams to my desktop :p
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: glad you like :)
[04:34] <swex> lotuspsychje: I've got problem with my disk io, ext4 journal writing something to disk every 3-5 seconds
[04:34] <swex> lotuspsychje: I'm using kubuntu 12.10
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> swex:ok, many google pages shows this problem holdon
[04:35] <swex> lotuspsychje: I know, I asked google before write here))
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> swex:can you tell us what HD brand (sata? raid? etc)
[04:35] <swex> lotuspsychje: but I didn't find any solution
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> swex: are there bugs reported?
[04:35] <kriskropd> swex jbd2? i see it too, writing every couple seconds
[04:36] <swex> ActionParsnip: I found bug like that, more than 100 people affected, but no solution
[04:36] <swex> and ubuntu version was 10.04
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> swex:what hd brand pls
[04:37] <swex> lotuspsychje: Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 Device Model:     ST3750330AS
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[04:37] <red_raven> I'll using the "fix broken packages" option in recovery mode revert a botched upgrade to its original state?
[04:38] <red_raven> *will. Stupid autocorrect.
[04:38] <swex> lotuspsychje: how can it help? thats file system problem
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> red_raven: there is a command list in the ubuntu docs
[04:38] <swex> lotuspsychje: there is nothing about HDD brand in that problem
[04:38] <lonely_leaf> what?
[04:39] <edoedo> What is gedit stand for?
[04:39]  * almoxarife see's writes every 3-5 seconds too, bet they would disappear if i disconnected from irc, better yet the whole of the internet
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: gnome-edit
[04:40] <edoedo> You mean same as notebook, ActionParsnip?
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> edoedo: or could be gnu-edit
[04:40] <lcabreza2> edoedo: gnome editor
[04:40]  * ActionParsnip prefers leafpad
[04:40] <marrero> !factoid
[04:41] <edoedo> leafpad , thanks brb

[04:41] <lotuspsychje> swex:im reading stuff about those drives best run on RAID, did you try installing ubuntu on another drive?
[04:42] <swex> lotuspsychje: no I didn't but partition I have problem is my /home/ not /..
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> swex:read this 'older' bug on jdb2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/607560
[04:43] <swex> lotuspsychje: yep I was there
[04:46] <swex> lotuspsychje: so you see, no solution, only old Undecided BUG...
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> swex:im still reading, try ##hardware aswell with your question mate
[04:47] <rocsteady> Guys: Do you know how to swich to a different desktop environment in ubntu 12:10?
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> swex:can you tell us how your hd is connected? sata, raid?
[04:48] <swex> lotuspsychje: thx for advice and share my problem
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> rocsteady:install another one
[04:48] <rocsteady> I did
[04:48] <swex> lotuspsychje: just plain sata
[04:48] <rocsteady> It used to be that you could then choose your de when you logged in
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> rocsteady:wich one?
[04:48] <rocsteady> When I was running 12.04
[04:49] <kriskropd> rocsteady: you still can select your DE from the lightdm in 12.10
[04:49] <rocsteady> xfce4
[04:49] <kriskropd> rocsteady: its the lil icon in top right of the box you put your password in
[04:50] <rocsteady> I don't want to bother my bf cause he's installing gentoo which is a lot harder than changing your de lol
[04:50] <rocsteady> Basically, I'm changing it cause I'm creating linux containers and my uptime went up really high
[04:50] <rocsteady> & so I'm thinking it is cause I'm running both unity and firefox with tons of tabs open from googling around a lot
[04:50] <rocsteady> okay let me log out and try again ty
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> swex:plz ask your question in ##hardware alot of interesting opinions
[04:51] <fspkwon> in 10.04 my skydome and the top part of the cube doesnt show png's
[04:51] <kriskropd> rocsteady: if you only installed 'xfce4' you'll find some stuff is missing probably, apt-get 'xubuntu-desktop' for the bigger package with xfce applications and such
[04:51] <fspkwon> compiz---
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> swex:you have bios set to IDE or AHCI?
[04:52] <XRS1> how do you put music on an ipod?
[04:53] <XRS1> im seeing it tell me to just drag and drop in the music player and thats not working
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> !info libmobiledevice | XRS1
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> XRS1:note sure if its still used, but i managed to drag n drop to ipad with this http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
[04:55] <xangua> XRS1: not the most friendly device...depends on what ubuntu version and iOS version are you using
[04:56] <XRS1> libimobiledevice3 is already the latest versioon  (Ubuntu Studio 12.10 & iPod Nano 6th Gen)
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> XRS1:what music player are you using?
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> !info gtkpod
[04:58] <XRS1> tried gtkpod and rhythmbox (maybe im just doing it wrong?)
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> XRS1:did you try this package?
[04:58] <XRS1> yes
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> XRS1:maybe banshee can handle it?
[04:59] <fspkwon> my favorite part of linux, an app for every function
[04:59] <XRS1> gtkpod and rhythmbox see the ipod and browse inside it just fine. got the music erased off it. now i just cant figure out how to put new music on
[05:00] <lotuspsychje> fspkwon: and even better, learning new cool packages every day :p
[05:00] <fspkwon> see if rockbox will work if its an old ipod
[05:00] <XRS1> its too new for rockbox
[05:00] <fspkwon> and- random water spill downs =p love compiz
[05:01] <fspkwon> i kiid you not , my water plugin RANDOMLY triggers and lines its way down the screen
[05:01] <shark> i don't think compiz is good
[05:01] <fspkwon> then goes away =p
[05:01] <fspkwon> its nice for me, i get my desktops looking pretty
[05:01] <XRS1> bits and peices are fine
[05:01] <fspkwon> especially with the window decorations and reflection
[05:01] <fspkwon> i have a red shadowy border with the reflection turned on
[05:02] <fspkwon> looks nice =p , ubuntu gets me on wifi here so its good
[05:02] <fspkwon> even better im using a iw2200bg which is shit anyway
[05:07] <aaron> hey i have a question... how do you setup your email that i have from ubuntu.com?

[05:07] <Joelixny> Hello, I'm having this weird issue in Ubuntu where beeps won't work even after I've loaded the module pcspkr. The strange this is that if I open pavucontrol or pavumeter the beeps will work ~5 seconds after I've closed it.
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> swex:read this1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2050525

[05:11] <edoedo> You know like a blackboard to write it down what is this for ?
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> swex: i would go test all things out, check bios for IDE to AHCI, check cables, set hd to external drive..try some stuff

[05:11] <dj_segfault> Hi.  I'm trying to get printing from one Ubuntu box to another, and it seems to be blocked due to authentication.  It sees the printer but when I try to test print it asks for name/password, which I've given it.  I already set the printer up in CUPS and told it my user can print, and I used lpadmin -u allow:all, but it still prompts for username and password and won't print.  It prints fine from the machine the printer 
[05:11] <fspkwon> the commandline will help you fix thing that are broken when you install new apps or update or fuck something up
[05:12] <fspkwon> =p im an asshole
[05:12] <fspkwon> other than that its used for everything too
[05:12] <XRS1> or in my case, break things
[05:12] <edoedo> OKay , what does it do ...?
[05:12] <IdleOne> fspkwon: Please keep the language clean in here.
[05:12] <fspkwon> oh sorry,
[05:12] <fspkwon> basically it runs programs

[05:13] <edoedo> Sorry ubottu I didn't mean to belittle you

[05:14] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:try the http cups page from the box you want to print send to the other box
[05:14] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: All apps print fine on the computer the printer is hooked up to
[05:14] <Joelixny>  !bash is a command to make the bot give help on bash to certain user, edoedo
[05:15] <Joelixny> erm.. whoops.
[05:15] <edoedo> pls forgive me if you don't understand my grammar because I am Deaf
[05:15] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: You mean localhost:631 on the machine without the printer?
[05:15] <woody123> I think I found a bug in wikipedia, anyone willing to investigate it with me?
[05:15] <fspkwon> well bash is the text console your using when you run apps that are text based

[05:19] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: When I try printing from cups on the second machine it still asks me for name/password and won't print
[05:19] <topper4125> edoedo, the terminal can be used to do everything you do in your graphical enviroment (copy, paste, move, delete files,execute programs, update/install software) but instead of point and click, you type in the command manually. there are also SEVERAL other commands that only work in/through the terminal
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:did you setup samba? (both machines have ubuntu on?)
[05:19] <Guest8983> samba?
[05:20] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: Yes both machines are Ubuntu.  No I didn
[05:20] <dj_segfault> didn't set up SAMBA, because I didn't think it was needed for this
[05:20] <Guest8983> well then it is not a big deal
[05:20] <Guest8983> ask that person who setup to remove it
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:what printer model?
[05:21] <topper4125> edoedo, once you get used to the terminal, its not as scary as it looks... but it is powerful, and it assumes you know what you are doing... (unforgiving in some cases if you make a mistake)
[05:21] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: I thought printing through CUPS was a completely separate protocol.  It's a Samsumg ML-2010 laser printer
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> !cups | dj_segfault
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> maybe some info on there
[05:23] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: OK.  But like I said the printer prints fine from the machine it's on.
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:are you root when trying to print to the other box?
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:seems like theres samsung software available too
[05:24] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: No I'm not root at the time
[05:25] <rocsteady> kriskropd: Makes sense. When I first opened up terminal in xfce4,the commands I was typing in didn't show up.
[05:25] <rocsteady> I discovered that there is a bug filed on launchpad for it. I had to disable use colors from system theme.
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:try as root
[05:25]  * rocsteady is not sure if this is related or not.
[05:25] <Guest8983> what commands did you type in?

[05:30] <matt865> hi
[05:30] <Pad22> Need some help: 4 drive RAID-5... installed some updates today, after reboot it says I have a degraded array.  mdadm -D /dev/md0 lists one of my drives being "removed".  I checked all cables, OK.  I'm not sure what happened..... any ideas?
[05:30] <shvchk> Is there a way to create a per-user /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/typo?
[05:30] <Redeyyez> Intel board 856perl mobo p4 2.7 Ghz cpu supports hyperthreading. ubuntu installation freezes in the splash screen. Can't even install it.  Machine runs xp pro normally. How do i trouble shoot this ubuntu install splash screen freeze?
[05:30] <Pad22> SMART status says that two of my drives (including the one that is showing "removed") has bad sectors

[05:31] <causative> after upgrading to 12.04 Firefox no longer has a logo in the launcher
[05:31] <causative> why is that?
[05:31] <causative> instead of a Firefox logo it has a gray box with a question mark on it
[05:31] <huzoubahce> 的
[05:31] <matt865> mine too
[05:31] <Guest8983> the new version does not appear logos
[05:31] <Guest8983> it's fine
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> !cn | huzoubahce
[05:32] <Guest8983> as long as the software can still work
[05:32] <matt865> ah good good
[05:32] <causative> so it's a Firefox thing, to be fixed in a future Firefox update?
[05:32] <somsip> causative: guessing that the path to the icon file has changed.
[05:32] <dj_segfault> causative: That means it got installed into a different directory.  Sometimes rebooting fixes that, but you can also edit the menu option and find the new location.  It often has the version number in it
[05:33] <causative> how do I edit the menu option?
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:did you try to rightmouse printer icon/properties and share printer?
[05:33] <WeThePeople> redeyyez, maybe a live cd
[05:34] <WeThePeople> redeyyez, are you dual booting?
[05:34] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: I'm actually running kubuntu so that might be a little different.  But I can *see* the printer from the second computer so it must be shared.
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | Pad22
[05:35] <shvchk> Sorry for asking again. Is there a way to create a per-user /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/typo?
[05:35] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: Just re-verified the printer is shared in the printer setting
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> dj_segfault:odd indeed you cant print, maybe try gksudo your browser and try the cups page?
[05:36] <Guest8983> does your cups prompt you to login?
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> Guest8983:yes it does for him
[05:36] <Pad22> lotuspsychje: Is it OK to run a scan on bad sectors on a raid disk... or at least one that is removed from the array ... and when done, add it back into the array?  Will it be a different size after the bad sectors have been marked so that it won't fit back into the array?
[05:36] <dj_segfault> lotuspsychje: Why would who I'm running as on Machine 2 matter?  Besides it's prompting me for a username and password.
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> Pad22: testdisk is to verify your had, it wont affect your array

[05:44] <lotuspsychje> someone succesfully removed zeitgeist yet on 12.10 without removing unity-desktop?
[05:44] <jud> bobweaver: in da house?
[05:46] <Guest8983> how?
[05:47] <Jieirn> lutuspsychje, Im looking for more... difficult applications of encryption than that. not private directoryies with encryption keys stored on non encrypted storage
[05:47] <Guest8983> well just create encryption key
[05:49] <Jieirn> not really how it works guest. Im trying to make a system boot to an encrypted root drive without a partion table that uses key files held in an encrypted partion on a thumbdrive, along with /boot and GRUB
[05:50] <Jieirn> but i cant get cryptroot to call for the passphrase to the crypted keys to open root
[05:50] <Jieirn> actually the cryptroot script file is empty
[05:51] <jud> just installed ubuntu 12.10 on an old computer, new drive. seems to be graphics issue which it had with Karmic but it's unusable now. how should i sought this out?
[05:51] <liberte> guys, do you know how I can make an infinite script on bash?
[05:51] <Jieirn> so, anyone who knows encryption, two-form authentication, or more about update-initramfs and its scripts?
[05:51] <liberte> wget url/archivo.ext
[05:51] <liberte> rm -rf archivo.ext
[05:52] <liberte> this is my script, i need make a bucle on this one
[05:52] <Guest8983> well i don't think so
[05:53] <Guest8983> i donnot think you need bucle for this
[05:53] <jud> just installed ubuntu 12.10 on an old computer, new drive. seems to be graphics issue which it had with Karmic but it's unusable now. how should i sought this out? It was suggested that this has something to do with nividia?
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> jud:try lubuntu or xubuntu
[05:55] <jud> lotuspsychje: Ok, thanks, why those?
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> jud:12.10 might be little too heavy for your old grafix card perhaps
[05:56] <Guest8983> after upgrade, for certain the manes of certain commmands will change
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> jud:did you try clean install 12.10?
[05:57] <Guest8983> try formatting the computer and install the OS again
[05:57] <jud> lotuspsychje: clean yep, wiped what was on there.
[05:59] <nicekiwi> how do I write the output of a command into a text file?
[05:59] <Rootyfault> sup all
[05:59] <nicekiwi> Rootyfault, hiya
[05:59] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, command > textfile
[05:59] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, chur
[05:59] <Guest8983> could be a fault in the keying in of commands in LXTerminal
[06:00] <Jieirn> how can one add modules to update-initramfs now?
[06:00] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, that created an empty document
[06:00] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, ... with the output of "command"
[06:01] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, try "ls > textfile"
[06:01] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, that worked
[06:01] <jud> lotuspsychje: so, would it be worth a punt on a new graphics card maybe? Thing is, the computer was new when I put Karmic on it and it had graphics problems then too, just not as bad.
[06:01] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, both worked
[06:01] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, they did not
[06:02] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, the file got created -> it worked
[06:02] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, question is if it's just the output (and which maybe)
[06:02] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, well put it this way. the file was created yet, but all the crap that spilled out into the terminal after the command was run did not make it into the file
[06:02] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, which command exactly?
[06:02] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, strace
[06:03] <Guest8983> the commands involving root, including sudo
[06:03] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, "strace steam > output.txt"
[06:04] <jud> OK, lubuntu or xubuntu?
[06:04] <Guest8983> nicekiwi what do you mean by that?
[06:04] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, that seems to put the output of "steam" not "strace .." into the file
[06:04] <nicekiwi> Guest8983, talking to someone
[06:04] <Guest8983> oooh
[06:04] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, ah.. ok :/
[06:05] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, probably because strace works more in the background.. no idea. maybe check "man strace"
[06:05] <tripelb> my old Max is my wifi hotspot never failing. Ubuntu 12.04 - NO. does not see it. wifi from phone.
[06:05] <tripelb> my old Macbook sees  my wifi hotspot never failing. Ubuntu 12.04 - NO. does not see it. wifi from phone.
[06:05] <rumpe1> nicekiwi, strace -ff ... -o ...
[06:06] <Guest8983> tripelb the problem can be with the wifi router installed on your pc
[06:06] <Guest8983> tripelb it can also be with the network card
[06:06] <tripelb> router on my PC??? Does not compute. It's the same PC. I booted from a live CD.
[06:07] <tripelb> It's the same PC. It's the same network card.
[06:07] <tripelb> Ubuntu does see the other WiFi hot spots in the neighborhood
[06:08] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, hmm.. kk
[06:09] <nicekiwi> rumpe1, strace -o <out_file> <prog_name> did the trick. Thanks :)
[06:10] <tripelb> I take  that back. it does not see as many as sox.  no twcable (hotspotname). But this 1 is right next to the computer in my hand.
[06:10] <Guest8983> what brand is the computer?
[06:10] <tripelb> I tried text to hidden network. That didn't work either.
[06:10] <tripelb>  as I said. It's a mac book.
[06:12] <tripelb> repeat -- my old Macbook sees  my wifi hotspot never failing. Ubuntu 12.04 - NO. does not see it. wifi from phone.
[06:12] <jud> Is nvidia a problem in general for ubuntu?
[06:13] <DaemonicApathy> jud: Linux in general, not just Ubuntu.
[06:13] <tripelb> I finally gave up on getting a USB flash drive to boot on ubuntu. So I burnt myself a liveCD then I checked it was perfect excellent and now is this I'm so disappointed
[06:14] <jud> Hmm, what's best for linux?
[06:14] <kj4> tripelb: hang in there
[06:16] <tripelb> I got the AMD+Mac ISO. too.  everything was going so well.
[06:16] <phunyguy_t430s> Jud, I have good luck with NVidia, except for not being able to use the built-in ubuntu app for managing displays
[06:16] <jud> what's the short cut for addressing people again?
[06:16] <phunyguy_t430s> Jud, also you wont get the right res on boot (its an X driver, but not fb driver)
[06:16] <Guest8983> tryusing the recovery disk (if possible), format the whole pc and re-install the OS again
[06:17] <FACT> TT
[06:17] <jud> It was a new Hard drive
[06:17] <FACT> S
[06:17] <Jieirn> Why is the answer re-install?
[06:17] <phunyguy_t430s> ooh the children are here!
[06:17] <tripelb> kj4 now what?
[06:18] <FACT> HW CAN I CONNECT MY YAHOO MESSENGER
[06:18] <Jieirn> hrm, capslock /= cruise control for cool
[06:18] <tripelb> reason I'm doing Ubuntu is that I can't get SASL on a Mac with Snow Leopard
[06:18] <jud> It's just for dad to surf the net so I'll give lubuntu a whirl
[06:19] <phunyguy_t430s> I keep getting import errors with Rhythmbox when using smb share as library... they are timeouts.
[06:19] <phunyguy_t430s> it times out, then forgets about it until the next app start.
[06:20] <jud> just thought that if nvidia had anything to do with it i might still have the same problem...??
[06:20] <tripelb> " thanks for the help". What I want to do is get freenode from my Mac using the phone hotspot. Is that so difficult?
[06:20] <tripelb> well I keep coming back presidential it works. I suppose I must go to sleep now.
[06:20] <tripelb> nn
[06:20] <Jieirn> tripleb, if your system sees the rest of the neighborhood
[06:21] <Jieirn> and not your phone, your phone may not be broadcasting a ssid
[06:21] <Guest8983> tripelb go use the ifconfig or netstat command to check your connections
[06:21] <matthewGA> Anyone know of a good writeup for using iPhone with Ubuntu? I know Amorak does/did support it, but not sure of any upgrade implications, etc.
[06:22] <Jieirn> in which case you either need to change setings on your phone or, manually set your wireless network on ubuntu
[06:22] <Guest8983> Jieirn maybe the wifi router does not have an SSID programmed on it yet
[06:22] <tripelb> s/ presidential/something else.  voice input shrug.    OK let me read your suggestion/school
[06:22] <Guest8983> Jieirn it is only when your network is not available in the list of visible networks
[06:23] <vucic1960> Hello i need a software for pdf documents to add one pdf doc to another and to move pages on it
[06:23] <tripelb> I can't fathom unity can I switch to GNOME do I get a terminal which way is up
[06:24] <Jieirn> Guest8983 you dont have to broadcast a ssid ever. its better if you dont actually, keeps people from seeing your wireless router or in his case, phone hotspot
[06:24] <tripelb> GOT ONE
[06:24] <Jieirn> tripelb unfortunately unity = GNOME 3
[06:24] <matthewGA> tripelb, control+alt+t or SuperKey+ type "terminal"
[06:24] <Guest8983> well it is true, but then the problem is that nobody will know that you actualy have a wirless network
[06:25] <Jieirn> das is the point guest
[06:25] <Jieirn> but if he can see the networks around him and not his phone then his phone isnt broadcasting an id to see
[06:26] <matthewGA> Unity isn't bad. Seems great, actually. Not crazy about the gmail integration thing, prefer Thunderbird is all.
[06:26] <matthewGA> and if you think Unity takes getting used to, go install Windows 8
[06:26] <Jieirn> Now, how about adding modules to that update-initramfs? i really need it to load specific modules
[06:27] <DaemonicApathy> vucic1960: PDF Editor might work for you.
[06:27] <Jieirn> windows 8 is a tablet gui on a desktop... that sucks
[06:28] <tripelb> I don't see where ifconfig would help me. I don't understand. ( yes I looked at info is Tim said ) I don't know the exact meaning of interface. And I see nothing useful and what it takes place. Can you help me understand it. Or understand what I want from it.
[06:29] <tripelb> yes I did look at info ifconfig
[06:29] <vucic1960> @DaemonicApathy i just check pdf editor dont see a function to import an pdf doc
[06:30] <tripelb> I'm pretty much the same thing for netstat. I know I'm not connected to 1. Why should I bother looking at when I'm connected too. I'm getting what I expect.
[06:31] <tripelb> I'm chasing my own tail. I need to sleep thank you very much
[06:31] <DaemonicApathy> vucic1960: Apologies if I'm mistaken. I may be thinking of a plugin for a different program. :-/
[06:31] <tripelb> I said love to you all and your mommys and your daddy is and your children on Thanksgiving day.
[06:34] <jyfl987> hi, is there any pdf viewer that run under tty or using curses-like library?
[06:36] <vucic1960> okay thanks DaemonicApathy will ask google :-)
[06:36] <memetic> There's a side bar in this ubuntu thingy that wiggles and jiggles if I'm in another desktop space and an application gets some notification.
[06:36] <memetic> How do I disable the annoying side bar slide out app wiggly-jiggy shit?
[06:36] <bazhang> memetic, no cursing here
[06:37] <jyfl987> why?
[06:37] <jyfl987> i use ubuntu at work and at home
[06:37] <jyfl987> and even our server use it
[06:37] <Guest19555> hello
[06:38] <matthewGA> jyfl987, I doubt there's a ncurses style PDF reader, seems too graphic based to render like that. Could be wrong.
[06:38] <Jieirn> jyf he was messig with you
[06:38] <Jieirn> lol
[06:39] <jyfl987> matthewGA: i have a reason for that
[06:39] <jyfl987> matthewGA: our boss walk around on the room, but luckily he seems not like a technical guy
[06:39] <matthewGA> jyfl987 I don't doubt your desire/need/reason, I just don't think that an app like that would be very reliable.
[06:40] <Odd-rationale> jyfl987: You can convert the pdf to text and view that from the command line.
[06:40] <jyfl987> Odd-rationale: cant it be convert to html?
[06:41] <Odd-rationale> jyfl987: yeah, probably
[06:41] <jyfl987> i tried to do some customizing for the pdf viewer like trying to change the font color
[06:41] <memetic> wiggly jiggly.
[06:41] <jyfl987> but failed
[06:41] <matthewGA> jyfl987 you would like to convert PDF to HTML? Now I am curious as to why
[06:41] <jyfl987> Odd-rationale: which tool could help me ?
[06:42] <Odd-rationale> jyfl987: pdftohtml
[06:43] <jyfl987> matthewGA: because there is html viewer on tty
[06:43] <jyfl987> matthewGA: w3m
[06:43] <jyfl987> Odd-rationale: ok
[06:43] <matthewGA> ah, true. w3m, links, lynx, etc...
[06:44] <jyfl987> and there is only format change from pdf to html, but when you change from pdf to text, it lost many other data like color , position
[06:44] <memetic> They actually call this 'wiggle time'
[06:45] <memetic> So, there's no way to disable unity urgent animations?
[06:47] <memetic> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerUsers/Unity/Options
[06:47] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/138622/how-to-disable-all-unity-animations  memetic
[06:47] <bazhang> memetic, use ccsm
[06:47] <memetic> Apparently you can tweak the wiggle setting using Compiz.
[06:47] <bazhang> correct
[06:47] <memetic> That doesn't actually work, bazhang.
[06:47] <tada> Frustrated beyond words. tried to setup my hd tv in Ubuntu 12.10 with Nvidia settings mangr. Now My monitor is blank at startup and Tv has no desktop on it.. Xorg.conf is screwed. Tried Recovery mode. The only option that will work is dropping in to root logon.. Im screwed right?
[06:47] <bazhang> memetic, works here
[06:48] <memetic> You can use that URL you posted to set the wiggle to none?
[06:48] <memetic> Seems like on that page they recommend using compiz.
[06:49] <bazhang> memetic, in ccsm,disable, yes
[06:49] <Jieirn> memtic, ccsm is compiz
[06:50] <bazhang> compizconfig-settings-manager to be precise
[06:50] <memetic> Does Ubuntu support compiz?
[06:50] <bazhang> yes of course memetic
[06:50] <memetic> Really?  I thought that Compiz was being dropped.
[06:51] <bazhang> memetic, 12.04 is LTS.
[06:52] <ninp0> http://www.ted.com/talks/rachel_botsman_the_case_for_collaborative_consumption.html
[06:52] <memetic> Everything after 10.04 in Ubuntu has been a huge pain.
[06:52] <ninp0> oh and setfacl rocks.
[06:52] <bazhang> ninp0, wrong channel
[06:52] <ninp0> my bad
[06:52] <bazhang> try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:52] <memetic> I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely frustrated.
[06:52] <ninp0> sounds good thx :)
[06:53] <Otend> so, while expanding a partition backwards, I managed to be dropped back to the GRUB rescue console, with the error "ELF header smaller than expected"
[06:53] <memetic> Like, I've tried to give Unity a fair shot but it's extremely frustrating to get it all working with Compiz.
[06:53] <bazhang> memetic, everything is way too vague. narrow it down some
[06:53] <memetic> Unity and Compiz for example.
[06:53] <aum__> i do not have a serial port, though through "sudo setserial -g /dev/ttyS*" its showing /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4, what is the use and purpose of this ttyS0.
[06:54] <memetic> I have no idea how I got what I have now working.  My Nvidia card isn't supported or there are horrible problems when I try to use 3d desktop cube and (ctrl+alt+arrow keys), but that's more a problem with Nvidia but you wanted some specifics.
[06:54] <bazhang> memetic, what "horrible problems"
[06:54] <memetic> I'm extremely frustrated with what I had to do with 12.04 to get Compiz to work with Unity, and when I go to ccsm or whatever to disable the wiggle for notifications in the Unity side bar there, I see Compiz doesn't even have Unity enabled.
[06:55] <ninp0> /dev/ttyS0 is the first block device representative of a physical DB-9 port on your box
[06:55] <memetic> When you ctrl+alt+arrow key to move between desktops in 12.04 with some Nvidia cards it will lock the screen.
[06:55] <ninp0> i.e. serial communications.
[06:55] <memetic> There are some bug reports about that, but again it's more a problem with Nvidia.
[06:57] <Otend> so, yeah.  what should I do to repair GRUB?
[06:57] <aum__> ninp0, i know its a character device for serial communication , but i do not have it on my motherboard , so i just want to know why this device is there.
[07:01] <ninp0> possible you have an on-board serial breakout on your motherboard that may be used to push firmware to the motherboard's ICs during manufacture?
[07:01] <Maqs> hi #ubuntu. does anybody know a working solution for "GPU has fallen off the bus" X freezes? persistence mode, as suggested in about every google hit, does not work. nouveau does not fit my needs.
[07:01] <memetic> So, if I were to go from 12.04 to 12.10, would my Nvidia 550 TI work?  Or would I be stuck at a command line.

[07:03] <ninp0> @aum__ if it's a laptop it may also be a built-in cellular wifi card
[07:04] <Jordan_U> Otend: And hopefully you used a smart utility (like GParted) which left 1 MiB of unallocated space before the firt partition.
[07:04] <Otend> I indeed used gparted

[07:26] <dougbb> has anyone successfully installed/run vmware workstation 9 with ubuntu 12.10?
[07:26] <dougbb> I've found a patch on line that seems promising, but before I tear out my working 8.x install I was hoping for a success story. :)
[07:29] <binary_glitch> No, I use virtual box, sorry dougbb.

[07:32] <vucic1960> Hello again found the right software for  split and merge pdf documents how can i compress the pdf document it has over 40 mb - because i need it for sending email as job application
[07:32] <Nom-> Hey guys... I've got an installer application, and i'm trying to wrap the resulting installed files up into a debian package.  Are there any tools besides checkinstall (which seems to break this installer) that will help me do this?
[07:32] <vucic1960> name of software pdfsam
[07:36] <zvacet> uname -r gives 3.5.0-18-generic can I install pae kernel?
[07:36] <dougbb> vucic1960: pdfsam does work pretty well for split and merge, but I've never found anything that can compress a pdf as well as acrobat
[07:37] <force> force
[07:37] <binary_glitch> glitch
[07:38] <force> ubuntu 12.10 internet connection is slow
[07:38] <force> how to retify
[07:38] <vucic1960> thx dougbb ... pdfmod works for compressing ?
[07:39] <dougbb> vucic1960: dunno, never tried it
[07:39] <Slart> vucic1960: many tools that split and join pdfs has some kind of switch to also compress the end result.. check the man page for the tool you're using.. I've never been able to do much with just compressing the pdf, it's almost always better to try to minimize the size of images and such before even creating the pdf
[07:41] <vucic1960> okay thanks ... thought there is any software like adobe acrobat for Ubuntu..
[07:41] <vucic1960> i will try @Slart
[07:41] <dcherniv> vucic1960, oh my... yes
[07:41] <bazhang> vucic1960, yes, acroread
[07:42] <bazhang> its in the partner repo vucic1960
[07:42] <bazhang> !partner | vucic1960
[07:42] <dougbb> bazhang: acroread != acrobat
[07:42] <dcherniv> acroread != acrobat
[07:42] <zvacet> I always use pae kernal and I know processor is capable to run it why don´t I have it installed
[07:42] <dougbb> I doubt acroread would help with compression, but it's worth a shot
[07:42] <kutu> Hello World!
[07:43] <kutu> I'm a Linux newbee and wanna be an expert
[07:43] <bazhang> !manual | kutu start here
[07:43] <matt865> as do i
[07:43] <bazhang> !rute | kutu and here
[07:44] <matt865> I want to make a movie with you guys
[07:44] <kutu> Thanks, guys
[07:44] <bazhang> matt865, linear video editor?
[07:45] <matt865> a porno
[07:45] <bazhang> matt865, stop it NOW
[07:45] <matt865> haha
[07:46] <kutu> Hey, can any of you guys know how to login as root in Ubuntu?
[07:47] <dougbb> kutu, what are you trying to accomplish by doing that?
[07:47] <g00053> guys , has anyone here moved thier webcache to ram ? I've found a few different methods of doing it and I'm unsure which is correct
[07:47] <bazhang> kutu, you dont
[07:47] <g00053> kutu, sudo su
[07:47] <Slart> kutu: root login isn't usually used in ubuntu.. sudo can do anything root related you need to do
[07:47] <bazhang> g00053, thats not correct
[07:47] <zvacet> kutu: sudo -i
[07:47] <Slart> !sudo | kutu
 you have to enable the root acount to log into a gui (desktop) as root
[07:47] <g00053> bazhang, it's not THAT wrong...
[07:48] <bazhang> binary_glitch, which is never necessary
[07:48] <bazhang> g00053, dont recommend it here
[07:48] <binary_glitch> it is advised against doing so
[07:49] <binary_glitch> I would just use the termnal, and yes I have found a rare necessity to gui into root thank you very much
[07:49] <bazhang> sudo -i then binary_glitch
[07:49] <kutu> I don't really want to login; I asked just because
[07:49] <kutu> I read it in a book
[07:49] <dougbb> kutu: ok, then follow the advice given ... don't do that
[07:49] <binary_glitch> su, sudo, sudo -i and gksudo did not work in that case.
[07:49] <god_is_dead> anyone help me with installing java in backtrack
[07:50] <kutu> and couldn't login by giving username as root
[07:50] <kutu> or sudo
[07:50] <bazhang> god_is_dead, try the backtrack support channel
[07:50] <g00053> whats the big deal anyway ?
[07:50] <god_is_dead> thank you
[07:50] <bazhang> #backtrack-linux god_is_dead
[07:51] <dougbb> ok, well, so far vmware 9.0.1 seems to be working well, in case anyone cares :)
[07:51] <zvacet> sorry everybody  because I was blind I´m using pae already
[07:52] <bazhang> dougbb, they have a channel here on freenode as well, if you were interested
[07:52] <binary_glitch> kutu just don't worry about it, it you want to expirment with it just to play, just know you'r likly to crash your system... but set it up in a persistant live usb and play like that or use virtual box... I can help you with either method, but that way you dont loose anything if you brake it.
[07:52] <bazhang> #vmware iirc
[07:52] <dougbb> zvacet: that's a great kind of problem to have :)
[07:53] <dougbb> bazhang: thanks ... they tend to focus on more general topics, whereas "keeping up with the latest kernel fun" is more of a linux'y topic
[07:53] <kutu> guys, where can I found linux kernel's source code?
[07:53] <lhavelund> kutu: http://kernel.org
[07:54] <zvacet> dougbb: yes I jusr read that pae is now named generic I didn´t know that
[07:54] <binary_glitch> kernel.org
[07:54] <binary_glitch> oh sorry
[07:54] <kutu> I mean in the "/" directory
[07:55] <dougbb> zvacet: what is the output of uname -a
[07:55] <dougbb> kutu: it isn't necessarily installed on your system
[07:55] <binary_glitch> kutu are you trying to edityour kernel?
[07:55] <god_is_dead> won't let me join channel #backtrack-linux
[07:56] <zvacet>  dougbb:3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
[07:56] <kutu> no just wanna see it
[07:56] <ogny> karakedi: todoist kullanir misin?
[07:56] <binary_glitch> the source isn't usual given in a direcroty, it's already compiled...lol
[07:56] <ogny> so sorry
[07:57] <binary_glitch> oh well get it from http://kernel.org
[07:57] <dougbb> zvacet: ok, then you should be good to go :)
[07:57] <dougbb> zvacet: this page looks useful as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
[07:57] <kutu> well is the Linux licence is given with the software
[07:58] <dougbb> zvacet: if your cpu is 64 bit you might also consider installing the 64 bit version of ubuntu, that would eliminate your PAE concerns :)
[07:58] <blackshirt> kutu, ??
[07:58] <tyteen4a03> hi, is there a dual boot Android and Ubuntu solution for Nexus 7 currently? Google is giving me mixed results
[07:58] <bazhang> kutu, thats not an ubuntu support issue
[07:58] <zvacet> dougbb: ubuntu make changes in naming kernel I read it  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
[07:59] <dougbb> ok
[07:59] <kutu> I mean is the GNU Licence is given with Ubuntu
[07:59] <zvacet> dougbb : I have pae everything is ok
[07:59] <bazhang> kutu, lets take this chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:59] <binary_glitch> many linux licenses are given with the sofware verious packages on a given system, some are simply refered to, and you have to look them up... what specific software
[07:59] <force_> ubuntu internet connection is slow
[07:59] <blackshirt> kutu, gpl was applied to software
[07:59] <dougbb> kutu: sure, but the license only requires that you have access to the source, not that it is installed
[08:00] <zvacet> dougbb: and I don´t want to reinstall  :)
[08:00] <force_> blackshirt, ubuntu internet connection is slow how to retify
[08:01] <dougbb> zvacet: aw c'mon, re-installing is fun :)
[08:01] <blackshirt> force_, what connection are you using?
[08:01] <binary_glitch> "aw c'mon, re-installing is fun :)" right...lol
[08:02] <dougbb> I just finished rearranging everything so that I could actually use the hardware raid card that came with this system .... fun fun fun!
[08:02] <zvacet> dougbb: no it is not I reinstalled recently
[08:03] <binary_glitch> I miss the days when you got to choose each and every individual package that was nstalled during instalation
[08:03] <dougbb> zvacet: sorry, poor attempt at humor
[08:03] <kutu> I'm currently dual booting with win7[problem contd.]
[08:03] <dougbb> binary_glitch: I use ubuntu on purpose so that I don't have to do that :)
[08:03] <zvacet> dougbb: it is ok I have to reinstall after bad upgrade I´m crying for times with alternate Cd
[08:03] <dougbb> although I keep finding things to delete, which is always fun
[08:04] <kutu> but after using linux for some time want to purely shift to it.[prb. contd.]]
[08:04] <blackshirt> kutu, thats not a problem .. Dual, trial,qual, or multi boot was great
[08:04] <binary_glitch> aw, but don't you like dependency nightmares?
[08:04] <bazhang> !enter | kutu
[08:04] <zvacet> dougbb: try mini iso once and make it your custom ubuntu  ;)
[08:05] <bazhang> kutu, what is the actual question. all on ONE line
[08:05] <kutu> ubottu,bazhang:got it
[08:05] <blackgatonegro> I have a lenovo ideapad 2470, isnt there a linux /ubuntu video driver for it?
[08:06] <bazhang> blackgatonegro, whats the card
[08:06] <zvacet> kutu: thewre is nothing wrong with dual booting take some time to get used to ubuntu and then make decision
[08:06] <dougbb> kutu, it depends on what you're using windows for ... there are very good software packages that fulfill a lot of needs, and will allow you to use linux as  your primary desktop, but there are some things that only run in windows. If you need them, you have to boot windows, and that's ok ... use the right tool for the job
[08:06] <blackgatonegro> no clue, ubuntu does not find any private drivers for it....
[08:07] <blackgatonegro> there is also a bug with qhe sound controlers
[08:07] <dougbb> Personally I'm trying to get a windows VM working well enough in linux so that I don't have to dual-boot anymore, but I'm still a ways off from that goal
[08:08] <blackgatonegro> dougbb, tried play on linux?
[08:08] <dougbb> I'm spending more time in the business world lately, so there are some things I have to use windows for ... as good as libreoffice is, microsoft is better at making their file formats hard to use
[08:09] <dougbb> blackgatonegro: nope ... I have been using vmware workstation
[08:09] <blackshirt> !atheros
[08:09] <blackshirt> !atheros | force_
[08:09] <blackgatonegro> dougbb, play on linux is good if you only wanna use games
[08:09] <kutu> now problem is how to make my total HDD available to Ubuntu without losing my entire media type data[eg.pics,movies]and my Ubuntu installed softwares.
[08:10] <dougbb> blackgatonegro: I need office 2010
[08:10] <dougbb> kutu, you're actually better off with a partition for windows, a partition for data, and an extended partition for linux
[08:11] <dougbb> that way your data can be shared between the 2 operating systems
[08:11] <blackgatonegro> dougbb, play on linux also lets you use office I think, it also helps a lot installing directx and that, and is on ubuntu repos, give it a try.
[08:11] <dougbb> ubuntu handles NTFS partitions very well
[08:11] <dougbb> blackgatonegro: thank you for the suggestion :)
[08:12] <dougbb> guess he's going to go play a game :)
[08:14] <kutu> I wanna make only 2 partitions; 1 for Linux 2 for media. i dont need win7 anymore.
[08:14] <dougbb> kutu: why 2 for media?
[08:14] <kutu> then only 1
[08:16] <dougbb> kutu, in that case, you can have 1 partition for the linux / and /usr, 1 for swap, 1 for /var, and the rest for /home
[08:16] <dougbb> your data will go on /home
[08:16] <dougbb> I like to do about 10 G /, 150% * RAM for swap, 4 G for /var
[08:17] <kutu> please write the process
[08:17] <kutu> I have 500GB Hdd
[08:17] <kutu> +2GB RAM
[08:17] <dougbb> kutu, that's plenty big enough
[08:17] <dougbb> the installer CD will let you create and size the partitions
[08:17] <dougbb> just be sure to back up your data before you install :)
[08:18] <dougbb> since your HD is so large, you might want to go 15 G for /, but usually 10 is more than enough
[08:21] <binary_glitch> wanna walk him through encripting his /home file too? lol
[08:21] <dougbb> heh
[08:21] <kutu> the issue is on backing up. I have calculated that my used space [linux os+media]<=30GB.If I use a 40 GB HDD as backup then how can I backup media+Ubuntu
[08:21] <dougbb> well, I personally have my data on a separate partition, and I use truecrypt for encryption
[08:21] <dougbb> kutu: you don't have to back up the OS
[08:22] <dougbb> you just have to back up your data
[08:22] <kutu> but then the softwares installed will be gone too
[08:22] <dougbb> kutu: right, you're going to reinstall the OS after you repartition the drive
[08:22] <binary_glitch> I keep my data on a twin portable tara drives
[08:23] <binary_glitch> my internal is dedicated to os and apps
[08:23] <dougbb> kutu: you're going to want to do all of this with the installer CD
[08:23] <blackshirt> kutu, usually your software installed was downloaded first and resides on apt cache dir
 true
[08:24] <zvacet> kutu: if you want to save ntfs partition with just add it to fstab read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251

[08:24] <binary_glitch> him mon
[08:25] <blackshirt> binary_glitch, sure, apt was doing that until you clean cache

[08:26] <mon> i'm writing because a thing I face a kernel bug in hardy 8.04
[08:26] <zvacet> dougbb:  did you delete something important  :)
[08:26] <mon> and want to know if someone have seen it before
[08:26] <binary_glitch> discribe it mon
[08:27] <dougbb> zvacet: heh, no
[08:27] <zvacet> dougbb : good  ;)
[08:27] <dougbb> I meant "fun" in the traditional sense
[08:27] <mon> We have a problem with puppet and certain kind of machines from our farm (+300), those with Supermicro X8SIE motherboard. Sometime when running puppet the machine crash, we loss access to it and logging through IPMI doesn't show anything in the console, the only thing we can do is a cold reboot. Then if we run puppet again, nothing happens. If we run puppet several days after it could be another crash or not, it is random. I debugged th
[08:27] <dougbb> deleted a whole bunch of old apt stuff, that's what made me think of it
[08:27] <zvacet> dougbb: I know what you mean
[08:28] <mon> I debugged the problem and get the conclusion the cause was running "facter", running it in a mpssh session caused 7 or 8 crashes in different machines.
[08:28] <kutu> so if I,1)make a bavkup of[apt cache+media];2)reinstall Ubuntu after suitable partitioning;3)copy paste apt cache -will my Ubuntu hold the same softs as before?
[08:29] <riqdiiz> where  can I  get mpeg encorder to play mp3 songs ?
[08:29] <kutu> that would be c in 'bavkup'
[08:29] <dougbb> kutu: depends .... anything you installed after installing the OS itself will have to be reinstalled
[08:30] <Aaron> riqdiiz, use totem or such
[08:30] <mon> kernel 2.6.24-28-server
[08:30] <mon> I took some straces on a crash
[08:31] <epic_> ridiiz use clementine
[08:31] <roger21> hi, i updated to 12.04 and transmission don't connect to https tracker anymore, is there something i should check?
[08:31] <zvacet> kutu : if you copy var/cache/apt/archives the you can install packages again
[08:31] <binary_glitch> if kutu where only around when a ton of software had to be compiled from tar balls... he wouln't feel so badabout having to reinstall his software... lol
[08:31] <epic_> roger21 : remove transmission and install qbittorent
[08:32] <dougbb> roger21: I second epic_'s suggestion :)
[08:32] <blackshirt> kutu, you can repack your installed packages with dpkg-repack and make a backup for it
[08:32] <riqdiiz> It requests to search for the codecs and when it does comes up with nothing.
[08:32] <zvacet> binary_glitch: depends if he use checkinstall  ;)
[08:32] <roger21> ok, won't do
[08:33] <epic_> riqdiiz : just install vlc or clementine that's it.
[08:33] <dougbb> riqdiiz: if you want to listen to mp3s you might need the "restricted extras" package
[08:33] <mon> facter use dmidecode, has someone experience something similar?
[08:34] <zvacet> riqdiiz: install ubuntu-restricted-extras for sure
[08:34] <kutu> thank you all for helping me to solve this problem!
[08:34] <mon> is any way to debug this kind of crashes?
[08:34] <eightfold> hi. i'm about to buy a laptop with radeon 6310m. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver says "These cards should work with Ubuntu Oneric/11.10".
[08:34] <eightfold> does that mean they work with 11.10 AND UP?
[08:34] <zvacet> kutu: than them if it work  :)
[08:35] <riqdiiz> where can I get them?
[08:35] <Guest49255> when installing the latest download, my current hd config has 100gb free space, if i select install along side it will use that and set up swap in that space as well??

[08:36] <binary_glitch> still if he had to reinatall half his apps through apt-get in the command line, and compile the other half, a time or too before, using software center would b a cinch... I remember using lynx text browser, and trying towrap my head aroud wat a repository was... but then again I didn't have much computer experience either... I've only use linux my whole life...
[08:36] <hall6> Question 2:http://pastebin.com/TxTiGmaC
[08:37] <binary_glitch> that was @ <zvacet>
[08:37] <hall6> Does anyone know how do I evaluvate the input in question 1

[08:40] <Guest49255> grub goes to which partition, the one with windows? XRS1
[08:40] <XRS1> if you have 4GB RAM, setup a 5GB SWAP and make the rest "/" as ext4
[08:40] <XRS1> it goes to the hard drive that has windows yes
[08:40] <Guest49255> ah ok, gotcha thanks XRS1
[08:41] <zvacet> Guest49255: grub goes to mbr
[08:41] <riqdiiz> I have enabled third parties,added the restricted repos,used apt but nothing seems to work .
[08:41] <Guest49255> so the partition with windows right?
[08:41] <XRS1> typically it should be hda or sda. just make sure whatever it calls the hard drive with windows is what grub is going to (no number)
[08:41] <epic_> riqdiiz: why dont you use vlc, the simple option
[08:41] <Guest49255> perfect, thanks guys
[08:42] <zvacet> Guest49255: I will make 10-15 / rest for /home add swap if it is lap top if it is not max 2GB for swap
[08:43] <Guest49255> just to be sure i do this right, 1st make the unallocated space into the rest of 4gb primary, ext4 mount at / and then do swap with the rest?
[08:44] <zvacet> riqdiiz: enable univere and multiverse repositories
[08:44] <Guest49255> oh, i have 4gb memory
[08:44] <XRS1> no "/" should be almost all the drive, swap should be a little bigger than how much RAM you have
[08:44] <riqdiiz> epic: where can I get it.
[08:44] <epic_> riqdiiz: software centre
[08:44] <XRS1> almost all of the unallocated partition*
[08:44] <tozen> Guest49255: 1Gb is more them enough for swap
[08:44] <Guest49255> kk
[08:44] <zvacet> XRS1: why are you against /home partition
[08:45] <Guest49255> primary or logical for the ext partition?
[08:45] <epic_> primary
[08:45] <zvacet> Guest49255: doesn´t matter
[08:45] <Guest49255> awesome sorry bout all the q's  i just want to be sure i get it right
[08:45] <Guest49255> thanks again
[08:45] <XRS1> for a first time install, its usually easier to setup it all as root untill you understand how the system works
[08:45] <Guest49255> im not a noob, its just been awhile
[08:45] <tuxtoti> this is something trivial. I use gnome-terminal on ubuntu. I open a lot of tabs.
[08:45] <tuxtoti>  Its very tough to find the active tab on the top. It is highlighted but very subtle.
[08:46] <tozen> Guest49255: it's not a point for linux what the partition
[08:46] <tuxtoti> is there a way to make it more prominent ?
[08:46] <XRS1> okay if you understand how it works, it is best to have a seperate /home partition or drive. makes life easier
[08:46] <Guest49255> i always mount at /
[08:47] <zvacet> Guest49255 : maybe you want to read  http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p22.html
[08:47] <epic_> XRS1 : right!
[08:47] <XRS1> night all
[08:47] <Guest49255> ill check it out
[08:48] <zvacet> XRS1: and then you find out that is good to have separate /home and you reinstall  :'(
[08:48] <tuxtoti> nevermind found a way. http://askubuntu.com/questions/40332/how-to-make-selected-tab-in-terminal-more-prominent
[08:48] <epic_> zvacet : Reinstallation is not needed. It can be done with gparted
[08:48] <XRS1> well by the time i figured that out back in the day, a new dist upgrade was available
[08:48] <tozen> Guest49255: my recommendation is 1Gb for swap, 10Gb / and keep the rest for /home on separate partition
[08:49] <zvacet> epic_: you are right
[08:49] <XRS1> the partitioning setup works best different ways for different uses.   set it up how it works best for you
[08:49] <zvacet> tozen: +1
[08:50] <epic_> tozen: +1
[08:50] <tozen> good to know i'm not alone lol
[08:52] <epic_> supertux kart game is fun!
[08:52] <riqdiiz> epic: I really don't know how to install it after I've downloaded it
[08:53] <epic_> what you have downloaded ?
[08:53] <riqdiiz> the tar.gz .
[08:54] <epic_> riqdiiz : go to software updater from dash - then check for update -> then install it . Do this first.
[08:54] <epic_> put the the file in home directory
[08:55] <Guest31821> could someone guide me to change folder's theme in ubuntu studio 12.4 , tx
[08:56] <AdvoWork> for some reason,ive just pressed something but I dont know what, ive lost the surround of my firefox, and terminal, basically the top navigation/bottom have totally dissapeared.any idea how to restore these? ive restarted them but same problem so not sure what ive done..
[08:56] <epic_> riqdiiz: open terminal and enter this  - > tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
[08:56] <epic_> advowork : f11
[08:57] <Guest31821> could someone guide me to change folder's theme in ubuntu studio 12.4
[08:57] <epic_> download ubuntu unity tweak
[08:58] <Cache_Money> I'm trying to install XAMPP but I'm getting this error: "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"  Following this tutorial http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449339739/k_00000004.html
[08:58] <Guest31821> studi is xfce , then why unity?
[08:58] <Cache_Money> Why would I be getting this error?
[08:58] <jerardwack> Hi. Who know how to in console create torrent from folder
[09:00] <zvacet> riqdiiz: try this way sudo apt-get install synaptic
[09:00] <AdvoWork> epic_, f11 is full screen?
[09:00] <roger21> hi, i updated to 12.04 and transmission don't connect to https tracker anymore, is there some new thingy in 12.04 like a firewall or something?
[09:01] <epic_> advowork : yes
[09:01] <epic_> roger21 : Never ever update - > just do fresh install
[09:01] <epic_> roger21 : then problem wont arise
[09:01] <zvacet> riqdiiz:then in synaptic>sttings>repositories>updates check first two and then close and reload
[09:02] <AdvoWork> epic_, that isnt the problem??
[09:02] <roger21> i love this chat
[09:02] <zvacet> riqdiiz:after that in synaptic search box type ubuntu-restricted-extras and when you find package install it
[09:03] <epic_> advowork : then i think you got the same problem like i had previous month.  I didnt find the solution, so i reinstalld it
[09:04] <Zenger> Hello guys, I need to expand a drive from unallocated but I cant.
[09:04] <zhufeng_> you can try ADDS
[09:04] <Zenger> i have a 100mb MBR, 20 gb NTFS, 100GB NTFS, and 70 GB NTFS, the trick is I must not delete 100GB
[09:04] <llutz> jerardwack: mktorrent -o path/file.torrent /dir
[09:05] <Zenger> I need to expand the 20gb from 70 unallocated
[09:05] <Zenger> but unallocated is located after the very important 100GB
[09:05] <Zenger> (using gparted)
[09:05] <jerardwack> llutz: thank you very much! I
[09:05] <ksi> help
[09:05] <jerardwack> i'll tried it now
[09:06] <Eagleman> My machine is getting usernames and passwords from ldap, when i shutdown slapd it is unable to recieve specific users using getent shadow and getent passwd. Now on my main server some users are able to login using their slapd credentials but on the others they are not, and i am a bit confused how this could happen
[09:07] <roger21> so every trackers work except for taht one (and the tracker is fine itself) what could it be?
[09:08] <Cache_Money> epic_:  I'm still getting the error message "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"
[09:08] <roger21> how do i setup the scroll amount of the mousewheel?
[09:09] <riqdiiz> it actually
[09:10] <ant_> Anyone know if any NFS mount defaults have changed in quantal? Am finding I can't exec shell scripts on NFS mounts
[09:10] <roger21> !mousewheel
[09:10] <roger21> !mouse
[09:10] <roger21> !scroll
[09:10] <roger21> !wheel
[09:10] <riqdiiz> it actually download nothing :(
[09:10] <Cache_Money> epic_: I'm trying to learn d3.js, one thing I need to do is install a local server.  So, the tutorial is asking me to download/install XAMPP for Ubuntu.  I've downloaded the tar file but keep getting an error message when trying to untar
[09:11] <epic_> cache_money: are you doing with terminal or software
[09:12] <riqdiiz> says 'server not reachable....'
[09:13] <Cache_Money> epic_: the terminal
[09:13] <Jordan_U> Cache_Money: It's much easier to install LAMP via apt-get / deselect than it is via XAMPP. While it might diverge from the guide, I recommend that you install LAMP normally (note also that installing LAMP normally is all that this channel supports).
[09:13] <Jordan_U> !lamp | Cache_Money
[09:18] <riqdiiz> epic: could it be that the servers nolonger support 9.04?
[09:20] <julie101010> would anyone have a clue why this ubuntu machine is about 2 minutes late compared to all my other systems, whilst it is set automatically?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Yes, Ubuntu 9.04 has been EOL for a *long* time. Upgrade immediately.
[09:22] <niranjan_> Hi folks, looking for help using my compiled so library against using the pre-installed one. Need to figure why one piece of code is crashing - dumping core
[09:23] <epic_> riqdiiz: yeah
[09:23] <epic_> update it to 12.04 or 12.10
[09:23] <julie101010> this is not 9 but how do I get the version?
[09:23] <Cache_Money> Jordan_U: I ran this command: $ sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server .  Is this similar to XAMPP
[09:23] <Cache_Money> ?
[09:24] <k1l_> julie101010: which ubuntu are you running there?
[09:25] <julie101010> I think it's 11 but where can I check?
[09:25] <niranjan_> julie101010: I don't know why this problem happens, but happens to me also on 12.10
[09:25] <k1l_> julie101010: "lsb_release -a"
[09:25] <riqdiiz> poor me! as of upgrading ,ill have to make do with my 9.04 for quite sometime ....I use dial up :'(
[09:25] <niranjan_> I am forced to use ntpdate command every day
[09:25] <Cache_Money> The d3.js tutorial I'm following is telling me I need to run a localserver to serve up my content.  Where do I need to put my project folder in order for the apache2 server to serve it up?
[09:25] <julie101010> got 12.04
[09:26] <epic_> riqdiiz: download from cafe
[09:26] <k1l_> julie101010: try "sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com "
[09:27] <riqdiiz> very expensive here as they also use dial up.
[09:27] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Even with dial up you should be able to download an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso in less than a week.
[09:30] <riqdiiz> they assign  you a different IP before you know it.
[09:30] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Use wget, then you can continue partial downloads.
[09:30] <jerardwack> after week-downloading ubuntu, you need more one week for get updates :)
[09:31] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: And when you do upgrade, go for 12.04 LTS, as that will be supported for much longer than 12.10 (or any other version until the next LTS release).
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U, riqdiiz: Yeah, you can even finish in under a week if you kill the wget process during times of day when people are going to need the line, and just do it overnight.  (That's how I downloaded 5.04)
[09:32] <jerardwack> and when you do upgrade will come new release ubuntu, and you start downloading them
[09:32] <Jordan_U> jerardwack: Right now they're running 9.04 with security vulnerabilities that have been known for years. Ubuntu 12.04.1, even with no updates, is far better.
[09:33] <jerardwack> I think more simple find ubuntu release in town where he lives
[09:33] <nsr> kya ho raha hai bhai logo ?
[09:34] <brontosaurusrex> just follow the man with longest beard
[09:34] <Cache_Money> Is this the correct (most efficient?) command to start an Apache2 server?  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[09:35] <cakeboss> Hey guys. I am trying to install urllib2, can this be done with pip?
[09:35] <somsip> Cache_Money: sudo service apache2 start
[09:35] <riqdiiz> that's the worst! they sell only bread and tea leaves here!;-) jerardwack
[09:35] <epic_> cache_money : yes
[09:35] <Cache_Money> somsip: And I put my files in /var/www/  ??
[09:35] <somsip> Cache_Money: you put them where your docroot is. By default, it is /var/www
[09:35] <brontosaurusrex> Cache_Money: service apache start < may also work
[09:36] <gordonjcp> riqdiiz: where are you?
[09:36] <riqdiiz> remote part of kenya.
[09:37] <gordonjcp> riqdiiz: what's the postal service like out where you are?
[09:37] <epic_> we can send you dvd
[09:37] <riqdiiz> the only available here
[09:38] <riqdiiz> epic I'd really appreciate.
[09:39] <il_matto> Yop all
[09:40] <epic_> should i send u
[09:42] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm trying to rip the sound track of an .mp4 video file to mp3 using ffmpeg. I get this ouput: "Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0" Does that mean I don't have mp3 codec on my system? cause sorta sounds silly to me ...with Rhythmbox coming ootb in Ubuntu it's gotta be present, right? I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3
[09:43] <cnf> hmz
[09:43] <cnf> too bad i can't run kvm in virtualbox
[09:45] <t432> Something has gone terribly wrong with my system. When try to type something, it either does not recognise the key or does completely something else then the whole system tries shuts down but hang.
[09:46] <stueng> hi, does anyone know what might cause mount.nfs: mount system call failed when trying to mount an NFS export from a Windows 2012 Storage Server ?
[09:46] <riqdiiz> epic_ I have sent you the details.
[09:46] <MonkeyDust> cakeboss  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp
[09:46] <t432> Would it be possible to recover to a previous state?
[09:47] <epic_> riqdiiz : got thaat
[09:47] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp <-- addressed wrong guy, sorry
[09:50] <nsr> Ubuntu sucks :(
[09:50] <riqdiiz> epic_  thanks.
[09:50] <k1l_> !language | nsr
[09:51] <nsr> ok sorry I have problem with my ubuntu installations
[09:51] <k1l_> !ask | nsr
[09:53] <dathui> nsr: if you tell the channel what the specific problem is and ask nicely are much more likely to help than if you insult their os of choice. just a thought :)
[09:54] <newbee> hello
[09:54] <bennypr0fane> Mopnkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
[09:54] <newbee> i need some help with my  server
[09:54] <bennypr0fane> Monkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
[09:55] <newbee> anyone ?
[09:56] <dathui> newbee: if you're a bit more specific people will (probably) help, if they know the answer
[09:56] <gordonjcp> !help | newbee
[09:56] <newbee> ok sorry ppl
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  mp3 is there, it should work, try without all the options, just for a test -- also consider using avconv, same syntax as ffmpeg
[09:57] <newbee> i need help with my server, for couple of days i can not access my web sites but ssh is working fine when i restart apache everything works for couple of minutes and then again sites are unreachable
[09:58] <newbee> i asked my host support to help me but they do not administrate
[09:58] <k1l_> newbee: did you look into the logs? what ubuntu are you running exactly?
[09:58] <newbee> the only thig they send me is this mesage : THe problem is simple. The proccess sftp-server it using 100% of disk I/O and this way any other program cannot work:
[09:58] <newbee> ubuntu 10.4
[09:59] <dathui> does killing the ftp-server help?
[10:00] <newbee> i do not know how to kill it :(
[10:00] <newbee> i don't know much about linux
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> newbee  there's also #ubuntu-server
[10:01] <steveccc> hi all - I wanted to take some jpg's  images and combine them into a slideshow with fade transitions and then output this as a video. Thus I thought there may be a piece of software for ubuntu which could output a video - could anyone suggest a good one
[10:01] <dathui> newbee: first list all the processes with ps -aX, then you can use grep to find sftp-server (ps -aX | grep "sftp-server") check the process id, the column to the left, and then try "kill that_id", replace that_id with the correct id.
[10:01] <bennypr0fane> Monkeydust how do I get avconv? it's not in the repo and on there page they don't offer a .deb for download it seems
[10:02] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: What version of Ubuntu are you using? It's certainly available in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
[10:02] <auronandace> steveccc: i like openshot
[10:03] <newbee> ok thank you, but why is this hapening ? is it some kind of hack?
[10:03] <steveccc> auronandace: what type of software is it - video or more presentation?
[10:03] <auronandace> steveccc: a video editor, you can work with pictures in it too
[10:03] <dathui> newbee: my guess is a bug or badly configured server, or you or your host are using it in a weird way.
[10:04] <newbee> and how can i fix this?
[10:04] <TeamColtra> newbee what do you do on your server? only a website? Apache? PHP?
[10:05] <newbee> websites with php
[10:05] <FindtheKindness> I there all I am trying to trouble shoot a little arduino usb programmer where the usb interface is showing up intermittently and every time it shows backup Ubuntu is giving it a new serial port number. Show my question is; is there a way of asigning a static port number to a specific device in Ubuntu?
[10:05] <llutz> !info photofilmstrip | steveccc
[10:05] <k1l_> i think he got a vserver and is at the limit of the specs.
[10:05] <steveccc> auronandace: just installing it now
[10:05] <bennypr0fane> Jordan_U: 12.04, Lubuntu though
[10:05] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: Lubuntu uses the same repositories. "sudo apt-get install libav-tools".
[10:05] <TeamColtra> newbee paste the results of this into pastie.org: tail -n 20 /var/log/apache/error.log
[10:05] <dathui> newbee: if killing the sftp-server helps i would recommend either checking into the config or switching ftp server.
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> Jordan_U that is installed
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> here's the complete output of my command : http://pastebin.com/reg83VJA
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> changed it a little
[10:06] <TeamColtra> newbee actually that should be apache2
[10:07] <TeamColtra> also paste the output of "top"
[10:07] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: You said you wanted avconv, but you're using ffmpeg. What problem are you having with running avconv?
[10:07] <steveccc> llutz: thanks - looks perfect
[10:08] <bennypr0fane> output from avconv is exactly the same as in ffmpeg
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  simply type ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 outfile.mp3 <-- no options added, see if it shows the same error
[10:09] <bennypr0fane> same error it seems to think mp3 is not present
[10:09] <newbee> ok how can i send you the file
[10:09] <bennypr0fane> I gotta go, thanks though. have a good day!

[10:15] <RichardH> Hi. Does nayone know of a keyboar dmapping for a Lenovo W520 (UK model), to use with Ubuntu 12.10, please?
[10:16] <auronandace> RichardH: what do you mean keyboard mapping? just use the uk layout
[10:17] <dathui> newbee: did you run "tail -n 20 ..."? it should just give you 20 lines.
[10:17] <auronandace> RichardH: you select the layout in the installer
[10:17] <newbee> no how do i do that? in apache?
[10:18] <RichardH> auronandace: Thanks. Sorry, flapped when I didn't see a layout that matches the Lenovo's keyboard. Actually testing keys adjacent to enter shows they map corretly!
[10:18] <RichardH> Doh!
[10:18] <dathui> in a terminal, TeamColtra pasted the command. "tail -n 20 /var/log/apache2/error.log" or similar, I'm not sure about the path.
[10:19] <dathui> and also the output from the command "top"
[10:19] <TeamColtra> top is probably going to be more helpful
[10:19] <TeamColtra> let me log into my ubuntu server and see what the correct apache error log path is
[10:19] <MonkeyDust> try htop
[10:20] <newbee> ok i got it how do i copy the text?
[10:21] <TeamColtra> newbee what are you using to access SSH? putty? terminal?
[10:21] <newbee> bitvise tunnelier
[10:23] <adknight87_> Okay guys I have a onboard SSD 8 Gig drive on my laptop can I use that for my swap and how can I do that to test it out?
[10:23] <dathui> newbee if it handles clipboard you can try marking text with your mouse and then using ctrl-v in windows.
[10:23] <vlt> adknight87_: mkswap, swapon
[10:24] <adknight87_> vit: I have a existing swap
[10:24] <newbee> no i can not selec it
[10:25] <TeamColtra> newbee I don't know how, I am sure it has some copy/paste function but it's not a standard SSH client so I am not too helpful here
[10:25] <newbee> ok i did it
[10:25] <TeamColtra> You could screenshot it

[10:27] <dathui> newbee your php code seems a bit buggy but that shouldn't affect things this way. what's the output from top?
[10:29] <newbee> well then i do not know what can i do

[10:30] <Christopher_> anyone in here particularly familiar with networking and latency?
[10:31] <nikolam> I just found out that every time I enter program or other search in new Ubuntu interface, my searches are going to Ubuntu databases with my IP address and are re-used...

[10:31] <nikolam> In New GUI and whole system.
[10:32] <nikolam> Last time I managed that is when disabling Ubuntu one service in Ubuntu 10.04.
[10:33] <nikolam> What are all programs, services and setting I can manage in Ubuntu 12.10 to stop private information going out of computer during use and that are included in Ubuntu default installation?

[10:36] <nikolam> I found sending my keystrokes and searches to third parties by default (facebook, twitter,amazon etc) very disturbing and bad anti-user practice. And I would like Canonical to stop that id it wants me to recommend Ubuntu to anyone.
[10:37] <nikolam> _bt, thank you . I am also annoyed with shopping offers in my main user interface for my own OS, outside shopping centre/programs app.
[10:38] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I quite like it
[10:38] <cakeboss> nikolam: I don't like it either. I think it is a necessary evil in a way.
[10:39] <cakeboss> Make ubuntu more mainstream and generate revenue for the ubuntu team to develop further etc.
[10:39] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I like it inside Shopping centre/Ubuntu software centre. But it does not have anything to do with my productivity, therefore it is a big minus.
[10:40] <nikolam> cakeboss, I think it is enough to have them displayed in bottom of software center by default. but it is annoying enough to offer non-free software in free software OS. Let alone putting those on my main user interface could be classified as too much aggressive advertising, Maybe even illegal in some places.
[10:40] <shang> anyone knows what these two line does in the interfaces file? "    up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
[10:40] <shang>     down ifconfig $IFACE down"
[10:42] <nikolam> $IFACE is I think some default interface, previously determined in script/ value and 0.0.0.0 designate that interface can contact with every network etc.
[10:42] <adknight87_> Okay how do I find the hard drives uuid?
[10:43] <nikolam> adknight87_, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid  or other by-* dirs
[10:45] <adknight87_> ty
[10:45] <Guest31436> hoi
[10:46] <nikolam> cakeboss, It is not question of just revenue. It is question of my privacy being selled in main OS GUI to some third party companies directly, together with my IP address. And forcing users to watch advertising in their regular everyday work. Like Ubuntu is moving advertising OS.
[10:46] <Guest31436> is dit niet in het nederlands
[10:46] <nikolam> It is like free software turning against user interests in Ubuntu now.
[10:47] <adknight87_> So how do I merge to partitions?
[10:47] <adknight87_> two^
[10:48] <grzywacz> adknight87_, empty or used?
[10:48] <nikolam> adknight87_, maybe firstly making backup of both data, moving data from one partition to another , destroying second and then making first partition bigger?
[10:48] <shang> nikolam: thanks
[10:48] <Guest31436> gaat er nog iemand een antwoord geven
[10:49] <adknight87_> nikolam: Well one's my os partition and the second is the old swap partition
[10:49] <almoxarife> !nl
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> Guest31436  stel je vrager liever in het nederlands
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> in het engels*
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> ;)
[10:49] <Guest31436> hoe kom ik daar dan
[10:49] <nikolam> adknight87_, I would suggest leaving swap where it is?
[10:50] <adknight87_> nikolam: I have a on board 8 gig SSD
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> Guest31436  type /join #ubuntu-nl
[10:50] <Relaed> hello
[10:51] <nikolam> adknight87_, I don't know, but I personally get used to have swap. I think it is used when computer hibernates, too.
[10:51] <Guest31436> fijn doei
[10:52] <adknight87_> nikolam: I'm switching the location to my on board SSD drive that's embedded to the laptops board. I just haven't been using the storage so I figure I could try and utilize the space while the ram being 8 gig's itself I see no problem with the switch. Do you understand what I'm doing. I'm only asking here so I don't go screwing up and save myself hours of headaches
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys, i have root access to my development server and i would like to add myself to sftp users
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> can anyone help me with that? all i can tell for now is that sftp is isntalled
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> because if i insert sftp in console it brings up data about it
[10:55] <adknight87_> LOL he just quit no response.
[10:56] <adknight87_> If I don't come back the swap didn't work lol
[10:57] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: you have sftpd running on the server, you want to access it via sftp , yes?
[10:57] <Wiz_KeeD> almoxarife, i have root access on the box, it has sftp installed and i need to push a branch using bzr (Version Control System) to the server from my local computer using sftp
[10:58] <Wiz_KeeD> for that i need a sftp account username and password
[10:59] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: your sftp account is username@ip where sftpd resides, you running kde?
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> not that good with the linux environment
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> both boxes (my development environment and the server) run ubuntu
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> is that gnome?
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> or am i not even close?
[11:00] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: it may be
[11:00] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: gnome or unity
[11:01] <Wiz_KeeD> so i've got it at least :D
[11:01] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: are you doing this via a gui or terminal?
[11:01] <Wiz_KeeD> terminal almoxarife
[11:04] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: ok, your user name is same as your user on server, password same as user pass on server
[11:04] <nikolam> If anyone knows how to stop sending my IP address and my searches inside new Ubutnu GUi to third parties, please say.
[11:04] <dragosta> Hey everyone, I am struggling to get my AR3013 BLUETOOTH adapter working on ubuntu 12.10. This is on an Aspire S3 laptop. I have googled, and linlap'd to no avail. Any suggestions? LSPCI doesn't seem to recognise it and i'm not sure where to turn
[11:05] <nikolam> dragosta, lsusb?
[11:05] <almoxarife> nikolam: interesting, what gathers your ip within ubuntu?
[11:05] <dragosta> nikolam, i'll give that a go
[11:05] <gaz67> !search glee
[11:06] <Wiz_KeeD> almoxarife, yeah i thought as much but it didn't work, but then i checked my groups and i am only in root group
[11:06] <dragosta> nikolam, no, lsusb fails to return the device
[11:06] <nikolam> almoxarife, User interface itself . every your search sends it up to canonical and directly to named third parties.
[11:07] <nikolam> dragosta, well it is connected to some bus. try to identify where.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> dragosta: it'll be usb, so try lsusb ;-)
[11:08] <nikolam> almoxarife, there is <i> button on the bottom of the menu with programs.
[11:08] <almoxarife> nikolam: search? via what?
[11:08] <nikolam> almoxarife, when you enter anything inside dash home.
[11:10] <nikolam> see "search in the dash" - legal notice. , file://usr/share/unity/searchingthedashlegalnotice.html
[11:10] <almoxarife> nikolam: your intention when doing so is not an internet search via some search engine?
[11:10] <pajak> asia kocham cie
[11:11] <nikolam> almoxarife, exactly. My intention is to use my OS. And Canonical intention is to give my personal usage to third parties.
[11:11] <almoxarife> nikolam: that assumes i have the file at the link location, i dont
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> pajak  what's your language?
[11:11] <nikolam> together with my IP address.
[11:11] <dragosta> gordonjcp, only six things return from lsusb, one of which is my soundcard, two are "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub", and some other already branded devices. the only Atheros chip i can find is in LSPCI and that is my WIFI card
[11:11] <ubuntu__> wonchej
[11:11] <gordonjcp> yeah, it won't be pci
[11:11] <nikolam> almoxarife, If you use unity, click on "I" button on the bottom of Dash home menu.
[11:12] <nikolam> on the right-down corner
[11:12] <almoxarife> nikolam: perhaps then you need to use some other OS which meets your standards of personal security
[11:12] <Asia_> ciota
[11:12] <pajak> ssij
[11:13] <pajak> pokaz cycki
[11:13] <Asia_> umyj dupe
[11:13] <pajak> tyz cie kocham
[11:13] <Asia_> fajnie
[11:13] <pajak> wiem
[11:13] <ant_> hmm, it seems all my NFS mounts on quantal have "noexec" despite "exec" being a mount option...
[11:13] <pajak> uwies mi sie na gitarze
[11:13] <nikolam> almoxarife, seems that it have nothing to do with "standards of personal security" it have to do with destroying every Ubuntu user's privacy. And security is tighted with privacy, yes.
[11:13] <almoxarife> nikolam: or install wireshark, see who is getting what and add rules via a firewall to keep them from receiving it, that could keep you busy for a while
[11:14] <nikolam> Ubuntu is just not safe for it's own users. Canonical is betraying users.
[11:14] <nikolam> almoxarife, that is a good idea
[11:14] <almoxarife> nikolam: thats an opinion, i have none
[11:14] <nikolam> But I get used to TRUST Ubuntu and Linux not to spy on me.
[11:15] <almoxarife> nikolam: never trust
[11:15] <adknight87> Well that worked
[11:15] <adknight87> FU yea on board ssd being utilized as swap
[11:15] <nikolam> Btw, I always turn ON installed programs list sending to Canonical to help them understand usage cases and programs statistics for distribution. I don't trust third parties!
[11:16] <ant_> I can't seem to force "exec" on nfs mounts since quantal - anyone know how to force it or what changed?
[11:16] <adknight87> Sounds like someone doesn't like other peoples work
[11:17] <adknight87> almoxarife:  I can't resize a operating system partition while actively on it can I?
[11:17] <almoxarife> nikolam: no
[11:17] <almoxarife> adknight87: no :)
[11:18] <nikolam> almoxarife, it is displayed in Dash legal notice that it is sending dash usage ot third parties. A fact.
[11:18] <rumpe1> adknight87, depends on the file system... usually not.
[11:18] <nikolam> aha :)
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> adknight87  like you cant mend a car while driving it
[11:18] <epic_> adknight87:  yes u can
[11:18] <TeamColtra> My computer has been randomly turning off, at first I thought it was because it was overheating (which it has a history of doing) but now I have it sitting vertically  (it's for my media centre so I don't need it to be laying properly) and it still will turn itself off. So I was googling and it said it could be a memory problem, so I put it through memtest and at 47% complete… it started failing every address. So then I removed a stick of RAm
[11:18] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: yes, you can
[11:18] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: you just won't get useful results
[11:18] <almoxarife> nikolam: i have no interest in your contractual issues with conical, thnks
[11:18] <TeamColtra> Tried it again, and at 47% it failed out. So I swapped the ram tried the other one… and at 47% it failed out. So no matter what I do, my memtest fails out at 47% is there something else I can try? Does this mean something?
[11:19] <adknight87> MonkeyDust: I beg to differ on that one depends on the damage on the vehicle :P Military service anything can happen on the fly
[11:19] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: if you resize an actively mounted filesystem, you can generate some really entertaining problems
[11:19] <almoxarife> adknight87: dont you keep 'gparted' around for a rainy day?
[11:19] <gordonjcp> TeamColtra: failing motherboard?  crud in the slots?  weird BIOS settings particularly with regard to RAM timing?
[11:19] <gordonjcp> TeamColtra: sheer bad luck?
[11:20] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: so the answer is still 'no' ?
[11:20] <adknight87> almoxarife: How do you think I got the swap location changed
[11:20] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: well, it depends what you want ;-)
[11:20] <almoxarife> adknight87: so do it again, resize the what ever is not big or small enough for your taste
[11:21] <adknight87> almoxarife: I'm too lazy to reboot into the live disk
[11:21] <nikolam> almoxarife, those are contractual issues with every Ubuntu user woth Canonical, when Unity Dash is betraying thair privacy to third parties. Ok, no telling just to you.
[11:22] <adknight87> nikolam: hmm linux? just block the outgoing addresses linked to the application that's sending out your information.
[11:22] <almoxarife> nikolam: can we agree to not discuss it further? thnks
[11:22] <adknight87> xD
[11:23] <invariant> nikolam, you do trust thousands of people if you use Linux.
[11:23] <adknight87> REDUNDANT isn't it.
[11:23] <adknight87> Anyways I'll brb I've got some gparted and a usb stick to shove in a receptacle
[11:24] <nikolam> almoxarife, well I can agree not to discuss it with you.
[11:24] <invariant> To some degree that trust is earned, since you don't hear every day about 0 day exploits for most Linux systems.
[11:24] <gordonjcp> nikolam: have you actually studied how the Amazon plugin works, or are you just mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix?
[11:24] <almoxarife> nikolam: that would be great
[11:24] <invariant> gordonjcp, why don't you tell us?
[11:24] <nikolam> But the issue is still there. And I am looking for solution to turn off Dash and Unity sending my private system usage to third party companies.
[11:24] <gordonjcp> invariant: about what?
[11:25] <nikolam> for all users on system by default.
[11:25] <gordonjcp> nikolam: uninstall the amazon plugin, if you don't like it
[11:25] <invariant> gordonjcp, about what Dash and or Unity do by default.
[11:25] <gordonjcp> invariant: I don't care what they do by default
[11:25] <gordonjcp> invariant: they can transmit what I type directly to a team of stunt aircraft who write it in the sky with smoke trails, for all I care
[11:25] <invariant> gordonjcp, you said mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix.
[11:25] <nikolam> so beside unity-lens-shopping , there is also amazon plugin to remove.. Thanks gordonjcp
[11:25] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: i am almost ready to toss phoronix, if anyone spams they do, and i do a pretty go job of catching spam before i have to see it'
[11:26] <gordonjcp> nikolam: yes, unity-lens-shopping, that's the thing
[11:26] <gordonjcp> invariant: yeah, it seems that everyone that whines about it has read the same article and actually doesn't know much about what's going on at all
[11:26] <invariant> gordonjcp, the way I understand it the criticism is well founded.
[11:26] <nikolam> invariant, click on <i> on boddom on dash to inform on dash/unity legal notices
[11:26] <gordonjcp> invariant: I like the amazon plugin <shrug>
[11:26] <invariant> nikolam, I don't use Unity.
[11:27] <gordonjcp> it's useful, and it helps keep the lights on for the Ubuntu team
[11:27] <gordonjcp> nikolam: you're also free to pick a different DE or even a different distro
[11:27] <gordonjcp> nikolam: or for that matter a different OS
[11:27] <invariant> gordonjcp, you did not respond to what I asked.
[11:27] <OerHeks> invariant, if you don't use unity, stop the rant please.
[11:27] <gordonjcp> invariant: I didn't see you ask a question
[11:27] <almoxarife> DE, distro, OS, its all so confusing
[11:27] <invariant> OerHeks, I am not ranting. Please follow the subject.
[11:27] <nikolam> invariant, dashhome>I on bottom
[11:28] <adknight87> MY question before I go is WHY should he have to worry about that if he isn't doing anything wrong?
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: it's probably more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <invariant> OerHeks, I just asked why gordonjcp believes that nikolam is just copying things off phoronix without understanding.
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: oh, I answered that
[11:28] <almoxarife> adknight87: dont you like to worry?
[11:28] <invariant> gordonjcp, it seems very on-topic to me.
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: it's not a support-related discussion, so it's offtopic for the support channel
[11:28] <nikolam> gordonjcp, It is not the point. the point it to have clean solution to turn it off. Since I would recommending Ubuntu to users. And to try to make users aware of that. And at the end maybe canging ways Canonical trat users now.
[11:29] <adknight87> almoxarife: Why I'm aware and know what to do but we aren't the ones the good guys are looking to book
[11:29] <adknight87> :P
[11:29] <adknight87> Again fruitful thought.
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, in an actual company, it would be a support question.
[11:29] <adknight87> brb
[11:29] <gordonjcp> nikolam: the recommendation is to use Amazon through Unity, and pay back some of the support and development costs ;-)
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, it doesn't say 'technical support' in the topic.
[11:29] <nikolam> invariant, I just installed Ubuntu. and found out that it is spying on me. I were not on Phoronix.
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, it is completely on-topic.
[11:29] <gordonjcp> nikolam: then install something else
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, you are just avoiding the question.
[11:30] <dragosta> I have managed to find something to do with Bluetooth after doing cat /var/log/dmesg: http://pastebin.com/0PL8KAes
[11:30] <gordonjcp> invariant: I answered your question twice.
[11:30] <nikolam> gordonjcp, Nope. I see no contract between me and amazon to send them my Desktop usage.
[11:30] <gordonjcp> nikolam: then use something else
[11:30] <invariant> nikolam, you said something; you didn't answer the question.
[11:30] <invariant> gordonjcp, that was for you.
[11:30] <dragosta> still, none of the applets seem to detect it
[11:30] <gordonjcp> invariant: okay, since you have trouble understanding it
[11:30] <almoxarife> i am assuming that one who uses a conical product, ie; ubuntu, entered into a contractual agreement with same said organization, one does have the option to not use the product, short of that the argument is mute, :)
[11:31] <nikolam> gordonjcp, nope. Contributing is a way of making Ubuntu better. Exactly what I am trying. And to seek solution to that particular problem.
[11:31] <joris> Hi. Can I set a full hostname in /etc/hostname such as mydomain.com ?
[11:31] <gordonjcp> invariant: everybody that complains about the Amazon shopping lens seems to make reference to the same article in Phoronix where they launched into their usual anti-Unity ranting
[11:31] <nikolam> It was similar like removing ubuntu one in 10.04 to not sharing my IP address.
[11:31] <almoxarife> joris: yes you can
[11:31] <joris> thank you
[11:31] <invariant> nikolam, for new users, it is spying, I agree.  However, once you are made aware of it, you can easily turn it off.
[11:32] <gordonjcp> invariant: therefore, I tend to assume that *anyone* whining about unity-lens-shopping is doing so because they read the Phoronix article, and not because they actually dug into it
[11:32] <gordonjcp> nikolam: oh, come on
[11:32] <joris> can I put multiple ones in there? like production, production.mydomain.com and mydomain.com ?
[11:32] <gordonjcp> "share my IP address"
[11:32] <gordonjcp> nikolam: do you know how IP works?
[11:32] <gordonjcp> you're sharing your IP address now
[11:32] <OerHeks> great, invariant you give the answer to your own question. now we can move on.
[11:32] <nikolam> invariant, well that is what exactly what is needed, for me and other to understand how to turn that spying off.
[11:32] <nikolam> gordonjcp, yes.
[11:32] <invariant> gordonjcp, you still haven't answered the question.
[11:33] <invariant> gordonjcp, you are only projecting your assumptions; something I could not care less about.
[11:33] <gordonjcp> invariant: in which case I clearly don't understand your question
[11:33] <nikolam> gordonjcp, nope. i use TOR and xchat addon to use Tor/onion network to use freenode.
[11:33] <gordonjcp> nikolam: yeah, you're really easy to trace
[11:33] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[11:33] <invariant> gordonjcp, why is it wrong what the phoronix article says?
[11:33] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i create a directory using another user when in root so i don't have to chown and stuff?
[11:33] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I know where you are down to the dslam you're on
[11:33]  * OerHeks thinks this is going to be a personal attack on gordonjcp 
[11:33] <gordonjcp> OerHeks: yeah
[11:34] <nikolam> gordonjcp, that is not the point. Point is - Canonical done that to all Ubuntu users without knowing. But let's get to technical parts.
[11:34] <invariant> OerHeks, I think what you think is completely wrong.
[11:34] <nikolam> Goal is to understand what to set it up to stop it. Beside removing unity-lens-shopping.
[11:34] <gordonjcp> nikolam: tor would be great if *everyone* did it, but since there are only a handful of exit nodes it's actually more traceable than not bothering with tor
[11:35] <nikolam> That is all. Let canonical change their own privacy problems on other place.
[11:35] <invariant> gordonjcp, there are thousands of exit nodes.
[11:35] <gordonjcp> nikolam: (I don't actually know where you are down to the dslam but I could find out if I cared)
[11:35] <invariant> gordonjcp, and while it might be traceable for The Powers That Be, it is not traceable for you.
[11:35] <nikolam> gordonjcp, that was just an example. And have nothing to do with the case of sharing IP and private usage searches and types with third parties.
[11:35] <almoxarife> its them entry nodes that will get you
[11:36] <nikolam> invariant, :)
[11:36] <invariant> gordonjcp, as such, you are just spreading complete misinformation.
[11:36] <gordonjcp> nikolam: so remove it
[11:36] <gordonjcp> nikolam: if it's that big a deal, recommend that your users use xubuntu
[11:36] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I removed it, we will see if something elese in ubuntu sharing some information. Maybe ubuntu one?
[11:37] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I don't really care, tbh
[11:37] <gordonjcp> why would I care
[11:37] <gordonjcp> I use Amazon *anyway*
[11:37] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I already use xubuntu since 6.10 This is computer I am preparing for other people.
[11:37]  * invariant thinks gordonjcp deserves a troll award
[11:37] <gordonjcp> nikolam: stick Xubuntu on it then
[11:37] <nikolam> gordonjcp, but not like, amazon knowing my every move on my desktop
[11:38] <gordonjcp> nikolam: they don't know your every move on the desktop
[11:38] <nikolam> gordonjcp, most probably will.
[11:38] <almoxarife> lets stop the personal attacks, pls, its not nice, you do want to be nice dont you?
[11:38] <nikolam> I must say I mostly like ubuntu selling/software center.
[11:39] <nikolam> And I always Enable sharing installed programs info for statistics woth Canonical.
[11:39] <OerHeks> nikolam, amazon does NOT know every move, stop trolling.
[11:39] <nikolam> "To make Ubuntu better" you know
[11:39] <adknight87> Interesting my swap location doesn't stay on after a reboot I have to turn it back on.
[11:39] <almoxarife> adknight87: you need to add the swap to /etc/fstab
[11:39] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: you beat me to it ;-)
[11:40] <nikolam> OerHeks, I would but gordonjcp keeps pushing me. I just wanted solution for Dsh home npt sending my usage and local serches to Amazon and other parties. See legal notice of Dash on the bottom of it, by pressing <I> button.
[11:40] <adknight87> almoxarife: I followed the directions for that on ubuntu's site
[11:40] <joris> I have changed my /etc/hostname, but sendmail is still sending HELOs with my old hostname. I have restarted init.d/networking and sendmail. Any ideas?
[11:41] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: one of the neatest tricks i found was moving lines from mtab to fstab, thats good, because i am clueless on how to construct it myself

[11:42] <almoxarife> adknight87: are you saying you did add the swap to fstab?

[11:48] <nikolam> I also have menu on login screen moved to the left side after fresh installing Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit . And I have many dots on the screen. (It is Nvidia 210 graphics and I suppose it uses nouveau driver after fresh install)
[11:48] <adknight87> fstab pastebin anyone?
[11:48] <adknight87> http://pastebin.com/X8rS2Xg7
[11:48] <adknight87> nikolam: do you know about bluecava?
[11:48] <nikolam> When I log in , screen garble and then it log in right
[11:49] <adknight87> login draws a grid
[11:49] <almoxarife> adknight87: swap is on sda5?
[11:49] <adknight87> almoxarife: it's on sdb5
[11:50] <almoxarife> adknight87: yes, my bad
[11:50] <adknight87> almoxarife: I have a on board SSD drive that's 8 Gigs the same as my ram.
[11:50] <nikolam> but it also garbles the screen after login and before displaying desktop, so I suppose it is some kind of bug. Or related to unity-lens-shopping and ubuntu one removal
[11:50] <almoxarife> adknight87: yes, you have told us that a few times
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: you're not swapping to the SSD though, right?
[11:51] <adknight87> gordonjcp: I am actually it works.
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: not for long...
[11:51] <nikolam> adknight87, I do not know kothing about bluecava. Not sure it has to do something about Ubuntu
[11:51] <adknight87> gordonjcp: why is that?
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: because you only have a finite number of write cycles
[11:52] <gordonjcp> adknight87: and swapping gets through them pretty quickly
[11:52] <almoxarife> adknight87: you want to see 100% swap?
[11:52] <nikolam> gordonjcp, maybe he could just turn on SSD optimizations.
[11:52] <adknight87> nikolam: then I suggest you do and that you put your halt on privacy issues with ubuntu to a latterday conversation
[11:53] <adknight87> almoxarife: you mean to say you want me to fill my 8gigs of ssd space with crap just to see
[11:53] <nikolam> adknight87, I will never stop inofrming users of technical posibility of removing applications that can help them using Ubuntu more privatly.
[11:53] <almoxarife> adknight87: increase the swapiness from the default 60 to 100, then bring it back to 60 when you are finally bored with swap
[11:54] <nikolam> Users have right to use their OS in best way to them.
[11:54] <adknight87> nikolam: bluecava.com
[11:54] <almoxarife> adknight87: i dont 'want' you to do a thing, it was a suggestion
[11:54] <nikolam> and adding and removing app is just normal usage of an OS.
[11:54] <gordonjcp> nikolam: it's still not a great idea
[11:54] <gordonjcp> nikolam: these days swap isn't such a big thing, since we all have more RAM than we could possibly need ;-)
[11:54] <nikolam> gordonjcp, don't know what you reffer to.
[11:55] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: yes,
[11:55] <gordonjcp> nikolam: your comment about SSD optimisations
[11:55] <gordonjcp> nikolam: the best optimisation is not to hammer them into the ground with swap...
[11:55] <nikolam> gordonjcp, swap is usefull to have, bacause of hybernation. an I like to have swap in case some all malfunction and start leaking RAM. I have long experience.
[11:56] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: i would have to agree, using ssd for swap does seem like wanting to kill the ssd early and for no good reason
[11:56] <adknight87> xD
[11:56] <nikolam> gordonjcp, Swap is used only when ther eis not enough RAM. That is all. it does not hurt , just helps IF needed.
[11:56] <adknight87> I'm not using the SSD for squat
[11:56] <gordonjcp> nikolam: that's not quite true
[11:57] <nikolam> gordonjcp, but what is true then?
[11:57] <gordonjcp> well, it depends on a lot of factors
[11:57] <gordonjcp> stuff gets swapped out if it has been idle for a long time, and doesn't necessarily get swapped back in
[11:57] <almoxarife> god, someone/s had too much caffeine this morning
[11:57] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I mean I'm sitting with about 75% swap space used and 50% RAM used at the moment
[11:58] <bazhang> lets move on please
[11:58] <gordonjcp> you'd think that it would stop swapping stuff out since there's loads of RAM kicking about
[11:58] <gordonjcp> if I close firefox I'll get about 25% RAM used ;-)
[11:59] <nikolam> gordonjcp, well, that is just fine for me. Swap have its usage. It is there to do exactly that. To help if needed etc.
[11:59] <bazhang> nikolam, thats enough
[11:59] <bazhang> lets take the swap debate elsewhere
[11:59] <gordonjcp> nikolam: if the RAM starts filling up then even when it's nowhere near full the machine will be swapping like mad
[11:59] <bazhang> gordonjcp, ?
[12:00] <gordonjcp> bazhang: sorry, I hit enter on that just as your line popped up
[12:00] <adknight87> OKAY guys here was the issue I won't be touching the swap very often meaning not a lot of wear and tear. I have 8 gig's of ram and do not hibernate the laptop. So in a rare case that I do. I actually can't hibernate for some reason the option is grayed out.
[12:00] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I think that depends on your usage case. I personally like to have it, I am long time user. Let's just leave it at that.
[12:01] <almoxarife> :)
[12:01] <gordonjcp> oh well
[12:01] <almoxarife> about time
[12:01] <[deXter]> Looks like he ran out of RAM.
[12:01] <adknight87> xD!
[12:01] <almoxarife> adknight87: you cant hibernate?
[12:01] <gordonjcp> I love people who say "oh I'm a long time user" like it means something
[12:02] <adknight87> almoxarife: apparently not on this system
[12:02] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats something worth fixating about
[12:02] <nikolam> bazhang, I was just ending "topic you don't like" I call for unjust managing of a channel.
[12:02] <gordonjcp> nikolam: again, #ubuntu-offtopic is for blethering
[12:03] <adknight87> almoxarife: I never really required it much use out of it.
[12:03] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I am not doing nothing wrong, but technical questions, Please stop mollesting me.
[12:04] <adknight87> Apparently there's a "discard" option for fstab mount properties too also a nice "noatime" option as well to reduce writes
[12:06] <sanav> !ot
[12:07] <patr|ck> hell
[12:07] <Eagleman> hell to you to
[12:07] <patr|ck> how can i access the encrypted home directory from outside of ubuntu?
[12:07] <patr|ck> s/hell/hello/ :-)
[12:07] <adknight87> almoxarife: still alive?
[12:16] <almoxarife> adknight87: what?
[12:18] <adknight87> almoxarife: apparently now that I have read a bit more into the swap on ssd support there is already a discard function in the kernel. But I'm still having issues trying to get my swap to stay on lol.
[12:19] <Pipe1984> Good morning. I have a doubt with the partitions. I have a 500GB hard drive and I have W7 and Ubuntu. The partitions would W7 50-60Gb, 30 Gb for /, 2GB swap, and the rest for / home. The configured as primary? recomendais follow that order or another?
[12:20] <Dr_willis> windows 7 often wants 2 partions one for its special boot partion and one for the os.  thats how most pc makers set  it up. but i think its NOT requirewd fo windows 7 to have 2
[12:21] <cfhowlett> Pipe1984: as a general rule, set swap to 2X your system ram
[12:21] <dcherniv> Pipe1984, primary/secondary doesnt matter too on GPT which is default for windows 7
[12:21] <Dr_willis> you may want to put all of the linux partions on an extended with logicals also.
[12:22] <Pipe1984> i have 4 gb RAM
[12:22] <juniour> hey guys i have install ubuntu with dual boot with win 7 via wibi not its corrucpted
[12:22] <adknight87> What are the mount options for fstab?
[12:23] <juniour> now ubuntu is corrupted
[12:23] <cfhowlett> juniour: wubi is a testing platform not a long term installation solution.  Consider a proper dual boot or virtual installation
[12:23] <juniour> but there are importan file in ubuntu home how can i recovere them
[12:24] <juniour> is there any method so i can recove my file
[12:24] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  man fstab and man mount will show most all options.. what one are you looking for?
[12:25] <Dr_willis> juniour,  if the filesystem is currupted and was fscked. its posslbe the file got moved to /lost+found
[12:25] <adknight87> Dr_willis: I changed locations of my swap. But it's on another drive so it needs to mount first which apparently it isn't doing.
[12:25] <Dr_willis> mount first? first over what?
[12:26] <Dr_willis> you have more then 1 swap partiion? you can set priorties for them
[12:27] <adknight87> Ubuntu starts with the os hard drive with the os partition which is mounted the SSD that I have now is not mounted so I have to wait till after start up to manually swapon
[12:27] <juniour> where i will found /lost+found
[12:27] <juniour> Dr_willis where i will found /lost+found
[12:27] <Dr_willis> juniour,  thats the full path..    /lost+found is in the root of your install.. ie:  "/"
[12:28] <juniour> ubuntu wont start
[12:28] <juniour> i cant go to ubuntu
[12:28] <Dr_willis> That wasent your original problem.. you care to add any more details?
[12:28] <juniour> my ubuntu is not starting
[12:28] <Dr_willis> use a live cd, mount your installed system. look for the file.
[12:29] <Dr_willis> it may be in your users home. or in Lost+found on the filesystem of your installed system.
[12:29] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  you could always put a swapon command in rc.local but ive never seen anyone need to do that.
[12:29] <juniour> Dr_willis ubuntu was insalled using wibi
[12:30] <juniour> in same partation as C
[12:31] <Dr_willis> juniour,  then you could use a live cd, and mount by hand the wubi install 'virtualdisk' file.
[12:31] <adknight87> Dr_willis: so where's this rc.local?
[12:31] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  in /etc/
[12:31] <Dr_willis> 'locate rc.local'  is handy to rember. ;) for finding files
[12:32] <BluesKaj> hi all
[12:32] <adknight87> danke
[12:33] <adknight87> um what exactly do I have to do for mounting a swap location in that xD
[12:34] <Dr_willis> i dont know 'exactly' but you would boot the live cd. determine the file thats your wubi installed hd. and use the mount commands loop option to mount it. same as you would an iso file.
[12:34] <Dr_willis> !iso
[12:35] <Dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop /media/windows/pathtothewubiinstalledhdfile /media/mywubiinstall   (or similer)
[12:35] <Dr_willis> then everything on that wubi install should be in /media/mywubiinstall
[12:36] <Dr_willis> theres a Mounting Guide factoid.
[12:36] <Dr_willis> !mount
[12:36] <adknight87> xD DANKE
[12:37] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  you said you had to use the swapon command for some reason.. you could run it from rc.loca
[12:37] <Dr_willis> rc.local
[12:37] <atmo_> I use UBUNTU live on flashpendrive
[12:37]  * Dr_willis is getting juniour  and adknight87s questions confused. ;)
[12:37] <adknight87> When would the rc.local be ran?
[12:38] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  its the last service to run.
[12:38] <adknight87> I noticed
[12:38] <adknight87> CF
[12:38] <adknight87> xD
[12:38] <atmo_> can I save any data on this flashpen?
[12:39] <Dr_willis> live usb?
[12:43] <adknight87> #!/bin/sh -e
[12:43] <adknight87> swapon
[12:43] <adknight87> exit 0
[12:43] <adknight87> that right?
[12:43] <adknight87> or a I completely an idiot
[12:43] <bazhang> !enter | adknight87
[12:43] <Dr_willis> the live usb setup CAN have a persistant save file to allow you to save things as your user atmo_. also any free space on the flash can be accessed from widnows. since its on a vfat filesystem
[12:43] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  thats about it. Its not rocket Surgery. ;)
[12:44] <adknight87> Figured so. That a real op?
[12:45] <adknight87> I'll be back with a report on whether it had worked or not.
[12:47] <Dr_willis> be rather weird that rc.local wouldent work. :) i still have no idea why you need to do that command..
[12:49] <roger21> i have an external hd setup in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, can't it be more tolerant?
[12:50] <astrogool> asdf
[12:50] <yeats> roger21: probably shouldn't put it in the fstab if it's not always there
[12:51] <Dr_willis> use the noauto option is one way
[12:53] <adknight87> danke Dr_willis
[12:57] <Rock> how to change text color of non x user
[12:57] <Dr_willis> clarify what you mean by that Rock
[12:57] <Rock> i want to change text color of non-graphical user
[12:58] <Dr_willis> change it where? you mean the bash promopt?
[12:58] <Rock> yes
[12:58] <Dr_willis> theres the 'bash prompt howto' that gives pages of examples of how to do fancy things like that...
[12:58] <Rock> is there any link for this?
[12:58]  * Dr_willis loves playing 20 questions to get to the real question...
[12:59] <awaad> Is there any tool that works under Ubuntu such as Visio ?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> type in bash prompt howto in your browser..
[12:59] <Dr_willis> should be at tldp.org or a dozen other sites
[12:59] <awaad> If it exists, does it work with vsd files that is generated by Visio in Windows?
[12:59] <Rock> i'll check
[12:59] <adknight87> xD
[13:00] <Dr_willis> The bash prompmt color changes also affect terminals in X..    ;P
[13:03] <roger21> !mount
[13:04] <Rock> i didnt get anything helpful in google for change text colour of text based user
[13:05] <adknight87> o.o
[13:06] <adknight87> Rock:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt
[13:06] <Dr_willis> Rock,  becayse you are wanting to change the BASH PROMPT
[13:06] <Dr_willis> and its NOT specific to a 'text based user'
[13:07] <Dr_willis> theres even some fancy bash 'themes' you can setup if you wanted to go hard core. with fancy prompts and other neat tricks
[13:08] <awaad> Any one can help ?
[13:08] <adknight87> I had my bash looking like a snake
[13:08] <dilshod> what is problem?
[13:08] <adknight87> awaad: you were asking the visio question right?
[13:08] <dilshod> awaad ??
[13:08] <awaad> adknight87: Yes
[13:09] <Dr_willis> never used viso.. so no idea
[13:09] <adknight87> awaad: install wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=119
[13:09] <awaad> dilshod, I asked if there is an alternative for Windows Visio Under Ubuntu?
[13:09] <kRush> where is nautilus pulling the mount options for ntfs drives from? I need the executable flag but I can't set it
[13:09] <dilshod> What's meen visio question?
[13:10] <Dr_willis> executable flag on ntfs/vfat can get real annoying.
[13:10] <Dr_willis> the ntfs-config tool Might let you tweak it. or you could use a custome fstab entry for the ntfs filesystem to enable the executable option
[13:10] <awaad> Dr_willis: Visio is an application that runs under windows which is used for er diagram desing, Logical Diagrams, Call Flows, etc
[13:11] <Dr_willis> !alternatives
[13:11] <adknight87> awaad: you check out the link?
[13:11] <Dr_willis> hmm.. not that factoid. ;)
[13:12] <awaad> adknight87: I am searching for an alternative to visio not how to install it under Ubuntu
[13:12] <adknight87> awaad: sounds like a job for google
[13:12] <adknight87> dun dun dun
[13:12] <Dr_willis> https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/tour/visio_alternative
[13:12] <Dr_willis> first hit for 'viso alterantive' ;)
[13:13] <adknight87> wonders of the internet
[13:13] <OerHeks> awaad, check dia in softwarecentre, or Visual Paradigm (closed source, paid) or yED (free) http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html
[13:13] <Dr_willis> http://www.osalt.com/visio   lists several alterantives... 2nd google hit.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> Kivio is part of the KOffice open source office suite. For flowcharting, network diagrams and all other graphing need Kivio solves them with an easy to user interface.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> Read more at http://www.osalt.com/visio#qpVsHKUZEjA6aYgb.99
[13:14] <Dr_willis> wonder if libreoffice dosent have somthing similer..  Ive not needed to do  such work in years
[13:14] <OerHeks> Dr_willis +1 for kivio
[13:14] <awaad> Dr_willis, adknight87, OerHeks, Does any application of those listed by you support vsd format generated by Visio ?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> awaad,  all i did was read the first line of the descriptions basically. ;)
[13:15] <yeats> libreoffice draw is roughly similar, though not feature for feature
[13:15] <nicolenicole> Hello, I currently have Ubuntu Studio installed on my hard disk (as LVM2 filetype) but the disk memory is full and I cannot load the operating system locally (I'm currently on a Lubuntu live CD) nor can I mount the partition/drive (there is only one partition on the hard disk).  GParted apparently does not support LVM2 and I was not able to mount the /dev/ubuntu-studio/root volume in Terminal either.  I need a way to access or
[13:15] <blackshirt> !moduser
[13:16] <yeats> nicolenicole: try 'sudo apt-get install lvm2' while running the live CD
[13:16] <BigMao> Hi there - ever since I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, every executable that I run is generating a "gmon.out" file.  I'm not sure if the other users on the system installed GNU gprof or something - but it shouldn't be affecting every single program that I'm running.  Is there some way to address this?
[13:16] <nicolenicole> lvm2 is already installed on the Lubuntu live CD
[13:16] <yeats> nicolenicole: in the terminal, do 'lvs' then
[13:17] <savio> !lvs
[13:17] <blackshirt> what is apache module for user_html setup?
[13:17] <nicolenicole> ok it listed the volumes
[13:18] <nicolenicole> the data is fine, the problem (I assume) is that the drive is full, there is 0% free memory on it
[13:18] <OerHeks> awaad, not sure, check it out yourself.
[13:18] <BigMao> Could this be an issue with gcc?
[13:18] <yeats> nicolenicole: you were trying to mount the lvm partitions, right?
[13:18] <nicolenicole> yes I cannot mount the local hard drive or any of the partitions or volumes on it
[13:19] <yeats> nicolenicole: and what happens when you try?
[13:19] <blackshirt> what is apache module for user dir html setup?
[13:19] <yeats> blackshirt: mod_userdir
[13:20] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt states that LVM2 is an unknown file type
[13:20] <yeats> nicolenicole: you can't mount that directly - you have to mount the lvm partition itself
[13:21] <yeats> nicolenicole: something like '/dev/mapper/lvmPartition'
[13:21] <adknight87> sudo -i
[13:21] <adknight87> apt-get install lvm2
[13:21] <adknight87> modprobe dm-mod
[13:21] <adknight87> vgchange -a y
[13:21] <FloodBot1> adknight87: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:21] <adknight87> :P
[13:22] <adknight87> nicolenicole: http://www.linux-sxs.org/storage/fedora2ubuntu.html
[13:22] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt also gives error message
[13:23] <yeats> nicolenicole: note that adknight87's 'sudo vgchange -a y' may be necessary
[13:23] <yeats> nicolenicole: what is the message?
[13:24] <adknight87_> nicolenicole: you get the link?
[13:24] <nicolenicole> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[13:25] <nicolenicole> yes I'll see what those steps do
[13:25] <adknight87_> kk
[13:28] <nicolenicole> exact same error message
[13:28] <nicolenicole> ubuntu-studio is the volume group, with root and swap_1 being the two volumes
[13:29] <blackshirt> nicolenicole look at your dmesg
[13:29] <nicolenicole> dmesg?
[13:29] <thebrush> hellojacob, may I create a script in ubuntu that is called with a link like callto:// or mailto://  from browser?
[13:29] <adknight87> nicolenicole: even loading the module hadn't worked?
[13:29] <Na_Klar> when using ubuntu as live usb hdd, the usb drive is mounted as /cdrom and therefore only readable. How can I write data to the usb drive in spite of?
[13:30] <nicolenicole> I'm not sure?  it is not mounted
[13:30] <nicolenicole> when I try to mount using file explorer, I get this: Error mounting /dev/dm-0 at /media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/dm-0" "/media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root,        missing codepage or helper program, 
[13:31] <nicolenicole> same wrong fs type, etc. error
[13:31] <nicolenicole> that shows in Terminal as well
[13:31] <adknight87> did you vgchange -a y
[13:31] <nicolenicole> no?
[13:31] <nicolenicole> the page said modprobe dm-mod
[13:31] <nicolenicole> oh yes
[13:32] <nicolenicole> vgchange -ay ubuntu-studio
[13:32] <PwnnaWeb> hey can anyone help me with http://askubuntu.com/questions/209605/cdc-acm-not-firing ?
[13:32] <adknight87> activate all
[13:33] <nicolenicole> the only thing I can think if is to copy the partition to a larger external hard drive, then extend the partition, would Ubuntu Studio work then if it is just a memory issue?
[13:34] <shyrain> how to enter second disk?
[13:34] <nicolenicole> GParted apparently can't do it, but Clonezilla supports LVM2
[13:34] <nicolenicole> www.clonezilla.org
[13:34] <auronandace> nicolenicole: memory = ram (not harddisk space)
[13:35] <adknight87> Storage
[13:35] <adknight87> is the term
[13:35] <nicolenicole> would that work?  all I want is my files back, I can reinstall the OS after that
[13:35] <nicolenicole> sorry, yes
[13:35] <nicolenicole> RAM is fine
[13:35] <nicolenicole> it is out of storage
[13:35] <shyrain> 有中国人没？
[13:36] <PwnnaWeb> shyrain: yes, #ubuntu-cn
[13:36] <adknight87> So did you  sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user?
[13:36] <nicolenicole> yes
[13:36] <shyrain> 怎么进D盘、
[13:36] <nicolenicole> I named it uroot but same thing
[13:37] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt/uroot -o ro,user
[13:38] <shyrain> 怎么进？
[13:38] <nicolenicole> so do you think I can't mount because the drive is out of storage?  or could it have been corrupted somehow and the files are lost?
[13:40] <PwnnaWeb> shyrain: /join #ubuntu-cn
[13:40] <yeats> nicolenicole: you might take a look at this in case it helps: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/recover-bad-superblock-from-corrupted-partition/
[13:41] <Chucrute301> You can do a zero fill
[13:42] <yeats> Chucrute301: nicolenicole is trying to recover data, not wipe her disk
[13:42] <nicolenicole> hm, what is dumpe2fs ?
[13:42] <dyd> how can i add a vpn? it has a lock and i can't add anything
[13:43] <adknight87> what does your fdisk -l show?
[13:43] <nicolenicole> -l is not an option?
[13:44] <nicolenicole> oh
[13:44] <yeats> nicolenicole: "-l" as in lowercase "L"
[13:44] <nicolenicole> cannot open it says
[13:44] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you pastebin the full message?
[13:45] <adknight87> Odd might be because Gparted is open
[13:45] <nicolenicole> cannot open /dev/sda2 or sda5
[13:45] <shevy> anyone knows of an easy way to move the close-button to the right side of the windows?
[13:46] <Chucrute301> Install windows
[13:46] <Chucrute301> :)
[13:46] <yeats> Chucrute301: please stop trolling
[13:46] <Chucrute301> Ok iam kidding
[13:46] <nicolenicole> you can slide the open/close buttons around with the XFCE desktop settings
[13:46] <llutz_> !controls | shevy not sure if this still works
[13:46] <adknight87> Theme options have left or right positions in gnome
[13:47] <shevy> yeah, I remember that... I restarted in xfce, and everything was on the left top side suddenly too, so it must have been theme related
[13:47] <Chucrute301> Right
[13:47] <shevy> thanks llutz, adknight87 and nicolenicole
[13:47] <Chucrute301> In gnome-shell :)
[13:48] <Chucrute301> Iam not trolling now :D
[13:48] <patr|ck> i get "is not in the sudoers file" - how can i fix this?
[13:48] <nicolenicole> GParted lists sda1 as the optical drive with the live CD, then sda2 as "extended" and sda5 as "lvm2 pv" with "ubuntu-studio" as the mount point, is that normal?  there is only one hard disk
[13:48] <shevy> Chucrute301, yeah but you didn't help, so I had to omit you in my giving-thanks-list ;P
[13:49] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo adduser username sudo"   replace username with the user you want to have sudo rights
[13:49] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: sda1 would be the first partition on the first disk
[13:49] <BigMao> Hi there, can someone help me with Ubuntu not recognizing my NVidia graphics cards?
[13:49] <BigMao> I just updated the kernel and built a new kernel module, but the card is still not being recognized.
[13:49] <nicolenicole> sda is the live CD for Lubuntu
[13:49] <nicolenicole> *sda1
[13:49] <yeats> nicolenicole: no, that's not normal - /dev/sda is the hard disk
[13:49] <patr|ck> llutz, i already did that and i already had a re-log but no dice
[13:50] <llutz_> patr|ck: "id username" gives "sudo" as group back?
[13:50] <Chucrute301> I know shevy, no problem :)
[13:50] <BigMao> Could this actually be a hardware issue? I am only seeing "nvidia1" in /dev
[13:50] <yeats> nicolenicole: so 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't work?
[13:50] <nicolenicole> I have to specify the disk
[13:50] <patr|ck> llutz, i am in the group sudo
[13:50] <nicolenicole> it cannot open sda2 or sda5
[13:50] <llutz_> patr|ck: what version are you using "lsb_release -sc"
[13:50] <adknight87> It doesn't open anything nicole
[13:50] <patr|ck> llutz, 12.04 AMD64
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: something's really not right about that
[13:51] <adknight87> It prints out the drives
[13:51] <adknight87> that's connected to the machine
[13:51] <nicolenicole> fdisk -l /dev/sda5 --> Cannot open /dev/sda5
[13:51] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: gparted shows your partition layout
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: just 'fdisk -l'
[13:51] <nicolenicole> that doesn't do anything
[13:51] <adknight87> ODD
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[13:52] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l
[13:52] <adknight87> It's suppose to do something
[13:52] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"
[13:52] <nicolenicole> I didn't sudo
[13:52] <nicolenicole> ok
[13:52] <patr|ck> llutz, yes
[13:52] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you pastebin that output?
[13:52] <nicolenicole> I got output
[13:52] <adknight87> I've been waiting on the pastebin
[13:52] <adknight87> xD
[13:52] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i add bash...access thingy to a user
[13:52] <nicolenicole> um I don't know how to copy from XTerm on Lubuntu live CD
[13:53] <llutz_> patr|ck: yes what?
[13:53] <adknight87> right click
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> when i login i don't have bash activated and i need to type in bash so i can start execiting commands via cli
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> any ideeas on how i can edit the user so it can navigate personaly?
[13:53] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'
[13:53] <adknight87> highlight text obviously and right click
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i do that?
[13:53] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  how did you add the user? or is this on a vps?
[13:53] <yeats> !pastebinit | nicolenicole
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'  <------------- command is 'chsh' ;)
[13:54] <nicolenicole> it doesn't do anything, there's no menu and no right-click and I can't screencapture or print screen apparently
[13:54] <llutz_> Wiz_KeeD: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username
[13:54] <Wiz_KeeD> thank you Dr_willis and llutz
[13:54] <Zathras> hi, is there an easy way to manually download a package and all it's dependencies so I can burn it on a CD for someone?
[13:54] <Dr_willis> nicolenicole,  with xterm, you can select, then middle click
[13:54] <nicolenicole> ok so just enter pastebinit in Terminal?
[13:54] <Dr_willis> !aptoncd | Zathras
[13:55] <yeats> nicolenicole: 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' then 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' should do it
[13:55] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"     the output is what?
[13:55] <adknight87> oddities with that livecd
[13:55] <Zathras> Dr_willis, cool, but I am not on Ubuntu. I am on Debian. Is there an alternative?
[13:55] <nicolenicole> gimme a min
[13:55] <Dr_willis> Zathras,  no idea.. check in #debian
[13:55] <llutz_> Zathras: aptoncd works on debian too
[13:57] <nicolenicole> yikes ok I don't know what middle-clicking did but it didn't like it
[13:57] <nicolenicole> is pastebinit a command to copy the previous output?
[13:57] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: middle-clicking simply pastes what you highlighted last
[13:57] <yeats> nicolenicole: no - it will send whatever you give it to a pastebin and return the URL
[13:58] <adknight87> Giving fdisk -l to the pastebin
[13:58] <nicolenicole> so do I enter "
[13:58] <adknight87> is what you are doing
[13:58] <raven> hi
[13:58] <yeats> nicolenicole: no quotes
[13:58] <nicolenicole> "sudo fdisk -l pastebinit"
[13:58] <Chucrute301> hi ?
[13:59] <yeats> nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[13:59] <Chucrute301> raven, hi
[13:59] <yeats> nicolenicole:  you need '|'
[13:59] <nicolenicole> ok
[13:59] <Zathras> aptoncd reads my apt archive which is Debian based. However I need for someone else Ubuntu packages. It seems I cannot select a different list of sources so that probably makes the tool useless for what I want to do?
[13:59] <nicolenicole> it won't let me install pastebinit on the live CD
[14:00] <adknight87> xD FAIL
[14:00] <yeats> nicolenicole: ok - so what happens when you try?
[14:00] <Ezio> :)
[14:00] <nicolenicole> it does say that Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-oot doesn't contain a valid partition table
[14:01] <nicolenicole> same for ubuntu--studio-swap_1
[14:01] <nicolenicole> *studio-root
[14:01] <adknight87> I'm thinking there's a mount mess up here
[14:01] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[14:01] <Ezio_Auditore> sudo su
[14:01] <Dr_willis> dont use sudo su
[14:02] <Ezio_Auditore> password><123abc
[14:02] <Dr_willis> !sudo
[14:02] <Ezio_Auditore> i dont like !sudo
[14:02] <llutz_> Ezio_Auditore: who cares
[14:02] <Dr_willis> Ezio_Auditore,  use sudo -i if you need a root shell.
[14:03] <Dr_willis> or  sudo -s  ;) i never can rember which one.
[14:03] <adknight87> -k
[14:03] <adknight87> :P
[14:03] <Ezio_Auditore> llutz my granfather care
[14:03] <Sniffy> Hi there, how do I prevent the desktop manager from starting at all?
[14:03] <Ezio_Auditore> he uses gentoo
[14:03] <Sniffy> I know how to stop it using "sudo service lightdm stop"
[14:03] <Dr_willis> !text | Sniffy
[14:03] <nicolenicole> I'm running sudo apt-get update to see if I can get pastebinit that way
[14:03] <Sniffy> Dr_willis, thanks. :)
[14:03] <Dr_willis> Sniffy,  the text mode keeps a DM from starting
[14:04] <Sniffy> Dr_willis, is the boot loader config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg or somewhere else?
[14:04] <Sniffy> One thing that has confused me over the years is that Ubuntu moves the config files around
[14:04] <yeats> nicolenicole: not trying to create another rabbit hole to go down - you could just use the lxde terminal emulator and copy/paste from there?
[14:05] <Chucrute301> i think is sudo-s ;)
[14:05] <Dr_willis> cant say ive notced them moveing
[14:05]  * yeats assumes that is installed there
[14:05] <llutz_> Sniffy: you edit /etc/default/grub and run "update-grub" then. grub.cfg is not to be edited manually
[14:05] <adknight87> What livecd is this anyways
[14:05] <nicolenicole> ok got it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379505/
[14:05] <nicolenicole> Python was out-of-date with the live CD
[14:06] <roger21> i have an external hd in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, trying and trying again to mount it, can it be set-up to give up at some point?
[14:06] <adknight87> sda5
[14:06] <Sniffy> llutz_, thank you. :)
[14:06] <yeats> nicolenicole: okay - that looks okay
[14:07] <nicolenicole> yes as far as I can tell everything is fine except for the fact it doesn't mount :-p
[14:07] <Sniffy> My main issue is that I just updated the Linux kernel and my NVIDIA graphics cards are no longer being recognized.
[14:08] <Sniffy> I'm running this machine as a server and it's not connected to any monitors
[14:08] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: what kernel version?
[14:08] <nicolenicole> sdb and sdc are the two external hard drives I have plugged in
[14:08] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you do 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root /mnt/uroot' and pastebin the output?
[14:08] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I upgraded from 3.2.0-29 to 3.2.0-33
[14:09] <nicolenicole> same error as before
[14:09] <adknight87> Think she should try mounting /dev/sda5
[14:10] <adknight87> she/he who knows
[14:10] <nicolenicole> it says unknown filesystem type LVM2_member
[14:10] <yeats> adknight87: that won't work - that's the disk containing the LVM volumes, not where the filesystem actually is
[14:10] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I got it to create the device files by running "sudo nvidia-smi -a" following some forum instructions
[14:10] <Sniffy> I'm not sure what this actually did.
[14:11] <Cucciu> ciao
[14:11] <Cucciu> !list
[14:11] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: sorry, never heard of that
[14:11] <adknight87> True I take that back the logical drive
[14:11] <adknight87> xD
[14:11] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: is this nvidia optimus?
[14:11] <yeats> nicolenicole: try 'sudo fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root' and see if that works?
[14:12] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I don't think so.
[14:12]  * yeats steps away for a bit
[14:12] <nicolenicole> error reading block 29944407 resulted in short read??
[14:12] <Sniffy> I'm running a Linux box with three cards and no attached monitors
[14:12] <adknight87> xD just as he steps away
[14:13] <nicolenicole> what is fsck?
[14:13] <yeats> !fsck | nicolenicole
[14:13] <adknight87> !fsck
[14:13] <gustav__> dh_make is broken. It installed files I'm trying to make a package out of.
[14:13] <adknight87> jinx
[14:13] <adknight87> I want a dr pepper
[14:13] <nicolenicole> hm
[14:14] <nicolenicole> so maybe the drive is corrupted on that block?
[14:14] <adknight87> nicolenicole: Why are you doing this through livecd again?
[14:15] <nicolenicole> because I can't mount the local drive?
[14:15] <nicolenicole> Ubuntu Studio won't load
[14:15] <nicolenicole> I just want my files back then I can format and reinstall the OS
[14:15] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[14:16] <nicolenicole> do you think I could use Clonezilla to copy the partition to a larger hard drive and get my files back that way?
[14:17] <JustSighDudes> How would I apply a patch file? I'm facing a bug in python and there's a patch file for it on the bug report. What's my next step or what should I google for?
[14:18] <bkc_> patch
[14:18] <adknight87> nicolenicole: If your system doesn't load that in the first place. Transferring it over to another drive might not do much but prolong the problem of actually accessing whats on the partition
[14:18] <adknight87> Meaning something went wrong.
[14:18] <bkc_> JustSighDudes: the app is called patch
[14:19] <nicolenicole> fsck says the drive was not cleanly mounted
[14:19] <nicolenicole> *unmounted
[14:21] <nicolenicole> it's giving me a series of messages saying that Mozilla Firefox has a bunch of incorrect filetypes apparently
[14:21] <Dr_willis> fsck is saying that?
[14:21] <nicolenicole> yes
[14:21] <adknight87> Oddities
[14:21] <nicolenicole> I'm hitting yes on clearing the entries, they're files in the Firefox cache
[14:21] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. fsck just checks the filesystem for errors.. it dosent scan filetypes and so forth...
[14:22] <riegersn> help with bumblebee, I really only care about power savings. have a new dell xps 14 ultrabook. installed bumblebee view this post: http://bit.ly/rQR1Xb - rebooted but lsmod doesn't show bbswitch module. no bbswitch module under /etc/modprobe.d/ - this is the module that turns off the nvidia card for power savings. why did it not load and how can i load it?
[14:22] <Dr_willis> Oh its saying the FILES are bad. ;)
[14:22] <adknight87> fsck works on lvm?
[14:22] <nicolenicole> apparently....
[14:23] <nicolenicole> Lubuntu doesn't have Firefox, these are all on the hard drive which I can't mount
[14:23] <chick3n> fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
[14:23] <chick3n> what gives?
[14:24] <nicolenicole> ok it is done, says file system was modified, 1.3% non-contiguous
[14:24] <nicolenicole> what does that mean?
[14:24] <nicolenicole> how do I pastebinit the text in the previous command?
[14:25] <adknight87> So it finished?
[14:25] <yeats> nicolenicole: try to mount again
[14:25] <nicolenicole> yes how do I pastebinit the fsck?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> riegersn, what does , cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch , output ?
[14:25] <yeats> nicolenicole: you'd have to copy/paste manually
[14:25] <nicolenicole> I'd like to copy the changes that were made
[14:25] <nicolenicole> oh
[14:25] <nicolenicole> never mind then lol
[14:25] <adknight87> xD
[14:25] <adknight87> File recovery is so much fun
[14:26] <riegersn> BluesKaj, cat: /proc/acpi/bbswitch: No such file or directory
[14:26] <nicolenicole> ooh!  I think it mounted, lemme check
[14:26] <nicolenicole> YES!
[14:26] <nicolenicole> omg
[14:26] <yeats> nicolenicole: excellent
[14:26] <nicolenicole> fsck saved the day, thank you sooo much whoever gave me that line to try
[14:26] <BluesKaj> riegersn, did you sudo modprobe bbswitch to ,load the module ?
[14:27] <adknight87> wasn't me
[14:27] <yeats> nicolenicole: now I would backup everything, then try deleting some things to see if you can boot again afterwards
[14:27] <nicolenicole> ok gotta back up my files and format and reinstall without LVM2
[14:27] <yeats> nicolenicole: you're welcome ;-)
[14:27] <alan__> ll
[14:27] <nicolenicole> and this time make a partition for my download manager, I accidentally left it running and filled up the drive :-(
[14:27] <riegersn> BluesKaj, no it didn't say it in the instructions i was reading. and I read that you can't load it if the nvidia card is already off. so i wasn't sure of what to do
[14:27] <nicolenicole> thanks yeats
[14:27] <nicolenicole> :-D
[14:28] <BluesKaj> riegersn, run the command
[14:29] <bobbino>  irc://irc.explosionirc.net/kalispera
[14:29] <riegersn> BluesKaj, ah crap: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.
[14:29] <riegersn> what gives i installed everything it said to install
[14:30] <BluesKaj> riegersn, that's probly the wrong module name
[14:30] <nicolenicole> is there a command line to copy and paste all the text inside the Terminal?
[14:31] <adknight87> select all?
[14:31] <adknight87> kidding
[14:31] <adknight87> don't type that
[14:31] <BluesKaj> nicolenicole, sunder edit selectall , copy
[14:31] <nicolenicole> Ctrl doesn't work, and you said pastebinit doesn't do that?
[14:32] <BluesKaj> !paste
[14:32] <nicolenicole> "sunder edit selectall copy"
[14:32] <Transfusion> Edi -> Select All -> Copy
[14:32] <Transfusion> *Edit
[14:32] <Transfusion> :P
[14:32] <BluesKaj> under edit select all , then right click and copy
[14:32] <nicolenicole> there is no menu on Lubuntu live CD XTerm
[14:32] <nicolenicole> or right-clicking, I need a command line
[14:33] <adknight87> you try going to the top of the actual desktop
[14:33] <Transfusion> oh you're using console?
[14:33] <adknight87> there's a menu there?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> no terminal?
[14:33] <nicolenicole> no
[14:33] <nicolenicole> it's LXDE live CD, very basic
[14:34] <BluesKaj> a terminal/console is pretty basic , that's strange
[14:34] <Transfusion> heh, lxterminal
[14:34] <adknight87> xD
[14:38] <opieng> hi all, I have tried google chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and still can not get Youtube video to play, it says "missing plugin"
[14:39] <opieng> can anyone help?
[14:39] <adknight87> go with chromium-browser
[14:40] <opieng> I thought someone mentioned last time to go for Chrome, not chromium as chromium does not have the right plugins for this
[14:40] <adknight87> ?
[14:40] <adknight87> Works just fine for me.
[14:41] <opieng> oh, ok I will give it a try then, both chrome and firefox both do not work for me
[14:41] <theadmin> opieng: You need the Flash plugin
[14:41] <adknight87> Have you installed it that's the question
[14:41] <vlt> opieng: I tried for weeks to get it working. Then someone told me that the latest Flash included in Chrome doesn’t support my CPU (or vice versa).
[14:41] <opieng> For which browser theadmin ?
[14:42] <theadmin> opieng: apt:adobe-flashplugin?section=partner
[14:42] <opieng> vlt, ahh I might have the same problem my CPU is very old
[14:42] <adknight87> sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:43] <vlt> opieng: Mine is an AMD Athlon XP 2000 and doesn’t know some SSEEESSEEESEESEEEEEE… stuff
[14:43] <opieng> lol same processor as mine but I think mine is the 2300
[14:44] <adknight87> opieng: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:44] <vlt> opieng: Ok, then it really might be the same problem.
[14:44] <BroS^> u need flash player
[14:44] <_nrdb> I have installed sensord and lm-sensors ... I cant get sensord to update its rrd file ... it creates it but never puts any data in it... what could be wrong?
[14:44] <chick3n> fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
[14:44] <chick3n> what gives?
[14:44] <opieng> so would sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin still work for me?
[14:45] <adknight87> Well try it and find out
[14:45] <opieng> sorry will do I am not at that system at the moment adknight87
[14:45] <vlt> opieng: This installs the last Flash version from Adobe that supports linux. Some Flash websites might not work.
[14:45] <adknight87> youtube works
[14:46] <vlt> opieng: (Adobe dropped linux after Flash 10.2)
[14:46] <opieng> vlt, oh!
[14:47] <ThinkT510> vlt: 11.2
[14:47] <opieng> vlt, so what did you do to get youtube working?
[14:47] <opieng> as sounds like I might have the same problem as you
[14:47] <vlt> opieng: I use HTML5.
[14:48] <opieng> vlt, never used that
[14:48] <mark__> hi
[14:48] <vlt> youtube.com/html5
[14:49] <vlt> opieng: ^
[14:49] <mark__> ciao
[14:49] <mark__> buonasera
[14:49] <vlt> !it | mark__
[14:51] <opieng> thanks vlt
[14:51] <WeThePeople> is there a commnd to set the system back to defaults?
[14:56] <escott> WeThePeople, depends on what you want to reset

[15:00] <NetGhost> Hello
[15:00] <NetGhost> how can i active fn+f3 (wifi) key in ubuntu?
[15:01] <dragonfly> Hey guys, My 12.10 setup is too slow on boot.. Can anyone suggest something ?
[15:02] <dragonfly> NetGhost: That is hardware specific. which machine are you using ?
[15:02] <genii-around> !bootchart | dragonfly
[15:02] <NetGhost> dragonfly, acer aspire 5742zg
[15:02] <llutz_> NetGhost: "rfkill list wifi"
[15:03] <llutz_> NetGhost: does it show something blocked?
[15:03] <NetGhost> llutz, err i am not in ubuntu now i have no access there to internet without wifi.
[15:03] <dragonfly> ubottu: I did, It shows the average boot time ~110 seconds and then it takes a while to log in from GDM screen to desktop. approx 20-30 seconds
[15:03] <NetGhost> llutz, i am using windows and acers official software for fn keys etc (launch manager)
[15:04] <tej> hai friends.., how can i install turboC
[15:04] <genii-around> dragonfly: Also, if you still have a lot of daemons which are not converted to Upstart yet, you can put a one-time option of:  profile    at the kernel load line in GRUB and it will try to optimize those for the subsequent boots.
[15:05] <dragonfly> genni-around: any more help ?
[15:06] <Ian_Corne> what's the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates ?
[15:06] <OerHeks> dragonfly, disable IPv6 can save boottime, it did 9 sec for me
[15:06] <NetGhost> llutz, dragonfly the wifi is broadcom bcm94... something
[15:07] <adknight87> !fglrx | Ian_Corne
[15:07] <NetGhost> llutz, funny thing is i cant even do ifconfig wlan0 up. It doesnt get detected at allow
[15:08] <NetGhost> not found in ifconfig
[15:08] <dragonfly> OerHek: How do I disable IPv6 ?
[15:08] <llutz_> NetGhost: boot ubuntu, get exatct chipset, get "rfkill list" status, come back
[15:08] <OerHeks> !ipv6
[15:09] <OerHeks> last url, dragonfly
[15:10] <optimus55> How do I add new themes to ubuntu 12.10? I used to be able to go to gnome-look.org and download/install but now everything seems to not work. Do they come through the package manager? a  common ppa? can anyone give me a simplified method for finding/adding new themes to the latest ubuntu? Thanks
[15:11] <adknight87> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/
[15:12] <Ian_Corne> adknight87: Either I'm too tired or it's not there, but I don't see it explained anywhere there
[15:13] <adknight87> use the search
[15:14] <shomon> hi, how do I know what DISPLAY is running so as to interact from the command line?
[15:14] <shomon> it's something like 0:0? but where is the variable sitting?
[15:15] <ring1> shojo, echo $DISPLAY
[15:15] <shomon> well it's not my terminal
[15:15] <shomon> compiz crashed you see
[15:15] <shomon> I mean I ssh'ed in from another achine
[15:15] <shomon> but I want to restart compiz and not kill my stuff :D
[15:15] <OerHeks> optimus55, ubuntu-tweak is able to add themes, if they are gnome3 compatible,
[15:15] <shomon> or even better, get rid of it and put something else in it's place
[15:15] <shomon> but meanwhile...
[15:16] <shevy> hehe
[15:17] <optimus55> OerHeks: Thanks i'm downloading now, looks good
[15:18] <Chamunks> is there something that i can reliably use to record audio from one mic and video from a webcam to the same thign?
[15:19] <simplew> how can i disable unity-greeter from having the same background as the one set in user session?
[15:21] <dcherniv> Chamunks, ffmpeg
[15:21] <Kowalczyk> hi. im having a trouble with wireless on my ubuntu laptop. the wireless is working it just doesnt see my wlan essid here at home. mint. slackware.arch and every other sees it. just not ubuntu
[15:21] <WeThePeople> escott, i cant move to a diff workspace
[15:22] <WeThePeople> and the close and minimize buttons are not at the top of the window
[15:22] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: What frequency band and standard is the AP using?
[15:22] <Audet> Hello, I enabled the apparmor profile for firefox. I want to log all new created files, but the actual log (despite audit mode) does only show in which folders changes are made, but not the name of the changed or created files)
[15:23] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, close min max are at the top panel.
[15:23] <WeThePeople> oerheks, no not there
[15:23] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: 2.437GHz channel 6. it stands on automatic. if I change channel the network is unstable.
[15:23] <WeThePeople> i was using grep yesterday so i think it has to do with that
[15:23] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, only when the window is focus
[15:23] <Audet> How to use apparmor for logging changed files?
[15:24] <WeThePeople> oerheks, idk what you mean
[15:24] <chick3n> why does nano say "(Converted from Mac format)" when I open my fstab file?
[15:24] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm just checking the obvious things first, bear with me! Is the AP using 40MHz channels (HT a.k.a. 802.11n) ?
[15:24] <Kowalczyk> its set on 20Mhz
[15:24] <Kowalczyk> its default
[15:24] <ThinkT510> chick3n: never seen that before, have you edited it with anything else?
[15:24] <Chamunks> dcherniv, i mean something that isn't going to take 6 hours to figure out some functioning syntax via the command line
[15:25] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: OK, so unlikely to be a 'n' thing then. Is the SSID hidden?
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> no its nok
[15:25] <nino__>  /msg NickServ identify 55564#k0
[15:25] <chick3n> ThinkT510, nope. brand new install on a formatted drive.
[15:25] <Chamunks> dcherniv, I've got my grandma's funeral in an hour or two and I gotta figure out how by then.
[15:25] <OerHeks> nino__, time to change pass
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> if I change channel to something static I find it but then I get disconencted every other minutes
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> this just happen in ubuntu /
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> :/
[15:25] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: At the terminal do you get any result from "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (assuming the interface is called wlan0)
[15:25] <dcherniv> Chamunks, vlc should be pretty easy
[15:25] <adknight87> LMAO

[15:26] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: no. doesnt show up
[15:26] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, unless you messed up something, the current window on your desktop, in focus, will show min max close and file/edit/ etc menu
[15:26] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm hot on this - I spent the entire morning reconfiguring my hostapd 802.11n into n-mode and checking it from the laptop that has an Intel 4965abgn card.
[15:26] <adknight87> FAIL
[15:26] <bazhang> adknight87, no need for that
[15:26] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: so no go... was the same with 12.04
[15:26] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: Is the WLAN card PCI or USB?
[15:27] <Kowalczyk> its internal
[15:27] <adknight87> I<3U bazhang
[15:27] <bazhang> adknight87, please stop with the nonsense
[15:27] <WeThePeople> oerheks, yeah it doesnt show min max close or file etc..
[15:27] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: Can you check this for me to find its PCI ID: "lspci -nn | egrep -i '(net|eth|wire)'
[15:27] <Kowalczyk> 25:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
[15:28] <Chamunks> dcherniv, the complicated bit is audio is from one thing video is from the other.
[15:28] <adknight87> helping should be fun
[15:28] <ThinkT510> !bcm | Kowalczyk
[15:28] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: That's great... now do it again with "lspci -nn" so we can see the PCI Vendor:Product ID :)
[15:28] <bazhang> !ot | adknight87
[15:28] <genii-around> Those Broadcoms are notoriously horrible
[15:28] <dcherniv> Chamunks, in media->open capture device vlc lets you pick video and audio device separately
[15:29] <TJ-> genii-around: And don't we know it! :s
[15:29] <Kowalczyk> hmm get error on that command
[15:29] <Kowalczyk> anyway: 25:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
[15:29] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: great thanks, let me do a quick bit of research
[15:30] <Kowalczyk> it works on other places.. work. parents in law. just not at home :/
[15:30] <faLUCE> hi. Which video-editor do you think is the best and most complete for linux? What do you think about Cinerella ?
[15:30] <Chamunks> dcherniv, Ok thats working so far.
[15:31] <Chamunks> how do i discover the address of the proper mic
[15:31] <bazhang> faLUCE, openshot
[15:31] <chick3n> is there somewhere i ca ngrab a default sshd_config?
[15:31] <adknight87> Kowalczyk: Are you trying to set up hostapd with dhcpd?
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> adknight87: no? im trying to connect to my wlan :D
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> but it cant find my wlan essid
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> it just doesnt show up
[15:32] <Chamunks> dcherniv, also thank you very much for your level of directness its very very appreciated right now.
[15:32] <adknight87> Kowalczyk: does your wifi pick anything up?
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> yes. all my neighbours wifi essid`s
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> :P
[15:33] <adknight87> Are you sure your wifi is enabled on your router
[15:33] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: What's the driver? bcrmsmac ?
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> to adknight87
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> ofc. every other device in the house uses it
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: hmmm. not sure.. or bwl
[15:34] <faLUCE> bazhang: do you think is it better (more complete + supported) than cinerella?
[15:34] <adknight87> double check
[15:34] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: try lspci -nnvv | grep -A 15 'BCM'
[15:34] <bazhang> faLUCE, try it.
[15:34] <usr13> Kowalczyk: Is the router configured to broadcast essid?
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:35] <TJ-> usr13: Yes. and other installations work on the same PC - its' only Ubuntu 12.10 apparently, on 802.11g channel 6
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/72a1yR7U
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> and 12.04
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> didnt try the other releases
[15:35] <dcherniv> Chamunks, no problem. i've been there myself.
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> debian. slack. arch works
[15:35] <usr13> Kowalczyk: And after multiple samplings, you only see other essids?
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:36] <usr13> interesting
[15:36] <Chamunks> dcherniv, anything I should set in the advanced options at all besides ratio?
[15:36] <Kowalczyk> if I set a manual channel... I can find it.. but then its drops, on, drop,on,drop and stuff
[15:36] <BluesKaj> Kowalczyk,  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[15:37] <Kowalczyk> nothing
[15:37] <lovre> hi all. How do i update by rabbitcvs from 1.6 to 1.7 version of SVN?
[15:37] <usr13> TJ-: What would channel 6 have to do with it?  OR, a combination of 802.11g and channel 6?  Sounds a bit far fetched, not sure what could do that - I'd like to know....
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> im now like 10 cm away from the router as well
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> :P
[15:38] <Chamunks> dcherniv, I'll have two seperate audio feeds on the target machine and I don't know how to find audio device addressing.
[15:38] <TJ-> usr13: Eh? I was just ensuring you knew the configuration Kowalczyk is dealing with
[15:38] <usr13> Kowalczyk: Can you manually make the connection?
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> nope
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> ive tried
[15:38] <adknight87> Reboot the router?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> Kowalczyk, sudo modprobe BCM
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> have tried
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> also reset it
[15:39] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: The "wl" driver is the Broadcom proprietary driver; did you try the Linux-included brcmsmac previously?
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> module bcm not found
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> it uses the wl
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: no
[15:39] <usr13> Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig key "my-key" ; dhclient wlan0
[15:40] <usr13> sudo dhclient wlan0
[15:40] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm assuming you installed the proprietary driver using the package bcmwl-kernel-source ?
[15:40] <dcherniv> Chamunks, arecord -l
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> I just get unknow command when I use essid
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: yes
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> same with key
[15:40] <usr13> Kowalczyk: When you do  "sudo iwlist wlan0" is your LAN's essid not listed?
[15:40] <TeraQuibbler> Hello, i got a problem with my laptop i cant access its wifi. I do fn+f3 to enable wifi in windows but in ubuntu it doesnt work.
[15:41] <TeraQuibbler> ifconfig doesnt display wlan0
[15:41] <Kowalczyk> usr13: right
[15:41] <usr13> Kowalczyk:  My commands were wrong.

[15:41] <BluesKaj> TeraQuibbler, iwconfig
[15:41] <usr13> Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig wlan0 key "my-key" ; sudo dhclient wlan0
[15:41] <TeraQuibbler> BluesKaj: says no wireless
[15:42] <Dr_willis> TeraQuibbler,  you may need to install some drivers for it. try to determine its chipset.  lspci    should show some info about it
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> I just get invalid argument
[15:42] <usr13> where wlan0 is your WiFi designation. (I dono if that is it or not.)
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> its wpa2
[15:42] <llutz_> usr13: "iwconfig key" only supports WEP-keys, for WPA(2) you need wpasupplicant
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> but I have to go now.. will come back later tonight. thanks for the help so far. will be back later
[15:42] <TeraQuibbler> Dr_willis: I did rfkill list it says: 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN  Soft blocked:no Hard blocked:no
[15:42] <TeraQuibbler> Dr_willis: it was softblocked before but i did rfkill unblock all
[15:43] <usr13> llutz_: Please correct my suggested commands as needed....
[15:43] <Chamunks> dcherniv, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379732/ is what I get back
[15:43] <usr13> llutz_: But I do not know what he has, and so it is all hypothetical...

[15:44] <Chamunks> Producer usb
[15:45] <frojnd> Can someone please paste output of dumpe2fs -h /dev/disk so I can compare with mine? When I do it I see under Maximum count time: -1 WTF? -1? What is going on?
[15:45] <usr13> Kowalczyk: I would suggest truning off encryption until you get it figured out.  It'll make things simplier.
[15:45] <TeraQuibbler> llutz: any idea?
[15:45] <Chamunks> dcherniv, Producer Usb mic
[15:45] <dcherniv> Chamunks, so your device should be hw:3,0
[15:45] <Guest14037> what video card in yours pc's?
[15:45] <Chamunks> dcherniv, and beside the play button theres that down arrow button and in there it says stream should i click that?
[15:46] <Guest14037> Did somebody have Radeon  with dualgraphics?
[15:46] <dcherniv> Chamunks, do you want to save the stream?
[15:46] <Chamunks> dcherniv, preferrably
[15:46] <dcherniv> Chamunks, then use convert option
[15:47] <TianChaoLaiKe> 好多人

[15:50] <Chamunks> but in that list I do see the option for the mic
[15:52] <dcherniv> Chamunks, hmm. try to type in audio device name hw:3,0
[15:52] <OerHeks> Chamunks, open terminal: alsamixer  ( and press F6 to select soundcard, maybe mic shows up)
[15:52] <Chamunks> dcherniv, not that easy its a list box :P

[15:59] <dcherniv> Chamunks, you figured it out?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> Chamunks, in alsamixer , use the F5 key to show all the controls including mic and line inputs , make sure they aren't muted (MM)
[16:01] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, the Capture one is the one im looking for yes?
[16:01] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, its looking unmuted
[16:01] <BluesKaj> 00?
[16:02] <Chamunks> it was

[16:04] <tobias____> Does anyone know how to boot from cd on ubuntu?
[16:04] <bazhang> tobias____, set in bios
[16:04] <tobias____> I turned off my comp and when its restarted i  pressed f12 and etc
[16:04] <tobias____> how do i do that bazhang?
[16:05] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, its because I had it set to ntsc turning that off to undefined made it all better
[16:05] <bazhang> tobias____, depends, hit the appropriate key (esc is common) and get in there and set to boot from CD first
[16:05] <ok_wait> tobias____, once you're in ubuntu, you've already booted
[16:05] <adknight87> f2
[16:05] <tobias____> so hit restart and while its loading press  f2 or esc?
[16:05] <ok_wait> del
[16:06] <OerHeks> tobias____, bootoptions, and some bios-es needs to configure bootdevice too
[16:06] <ok_wait> what's the make and model of your computer tobias____ ?
[16:06] <tobias____> sony vpcea46fm
[16:06] <ok_wait> sec
[16:06] <tobias____> it was f12 when i ran windows but that doesnt seem to do the trick now
[16:07] <usr13> tobias____: should be the same.
[16:07] <tobias____> its not
[16:07] <usr13> tobias____: Installing another OS does not change bios
[16:07] <adknight87> Sometimes you have to just shut down completely to get that few seconds to get into the Bios
[16:08] <tobias____> why woudlnt it go into bios then?
[16:08] <usr13> tobias____: You must be mistaken
[16:08] <ok_wait> tobias____, it's either delete or f2
[16:08] <tobias____> im going to try delete or f
[16:08] <tobias____> 2
[16:08] <tobias____> thanks guys
[16:12] <Espnu> hey, i had problems with my ATI driver on ubuntu 12.10 like 1-2 weeks ago. Is it neccecary to install linux-generic-header etc?
[16:12] <Espnu> my card is HD6850
[16:12] <Heather_> question: I'm logged in as root and I give rw permission to a folder. But when I restart ubuntu its gone how can make it permanent?
[16:15] <genii-around> Heather_: You must be trying to change a folder which is actually some mounted partition, or else another whose permissions are set each boot, like /dev or /sys or so on
[16:16] <Heather_> yes thats true
[16:16] <Heather_> its a mounted partition

[16:17] <thesadmafioso> Anyone know how to use wget or curl to download from a cloud server that requires authentication?
[16:17] <ok_wait> Espnu, never blindly copy and paste commands into your terminal http://askubuntu.com/questions/216303/ubuntu-12-10-graphics-driver-shows-gallium-0-4-instead-of-intel-hd
[16:18] <neil1234567890> How come I can't select the updates from the update manager?
[16:18] <Espnu> ok_wait, well i already did it now. now i wish to return back to the original state tho.
[16:18] <Espnu> any suggestion?
[16:18] <ok_wait> what was the command?
[16:18] <Espnu> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[16:18] <Espnu> and
[16:18] <Espnu> sudo apt-get install linux-source
[16:19] <Espnu> headers's didn't get properly installed because of read-only errors
[16:19] <ok_wait> neither of those packages will hurt but i don't think you'll need the linux-source unless you plan to compile your own linux kernel
[16:19] <ok_wait> did you say apt-get update before installing them?
[16:20] <Espnu> nah, but i updated my computer just before.
[16:20] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[16:21] <ok_wait> i've never seen a read only error. can you paste the output in pastie.org and paste that link here
[16:21] <Espnu> sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/espen/2: Read-only file system W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  espen@espen-OEM:~$ sudo dpkg --configure a [sudo] password for espen:  sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/espen/2: Read-only file system dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[16:22] <ok_wait> did you run the suggested command?
[16:22] <mike_papa> I'm trying to use UCK to create my custom Live-CD, but I get error like this: http://pastebin.com/FHSuyf0K
[16:22] <ThinkT510> raven: you've pasted the same thing several times, perhaps nobody has answered because they aren't sure what exactly you mean
[16:22] <mike_papa> What's wrong?
[16:22] <Espnu> i tried apt-get install linux-headers-generic yes
[16:23] <SirShmoopy> good morning, I am trying to install ubuntu on a PCIe SSD. it shows up as two 120GB drives when i install. i have tried installing to both sda and sdb writing grub to either, but when i reboot, i get 'unknown filesystem'
[16:23] <ok_wait> no the  'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[16:23] <Espnu> yea, i did
[16:23] <Espnu> says so in copy&paste ;)
[16:23] <raven> ThinkT510 how to specify
[16:23] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: is it OCZ RAID kind drive?
[16:23] <ok_wait> oh ok i see it lol
[16:23] <ok_wait> idk man when was the last time you rebooted?
[16:24] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, yes i believe so
[16:24] <Espnu> mins ago
[16:24] <Espnu> should i try that?
[16:24] <ThinkT510> raven: perhaps a screenshot would help
[16:24] <Espnu> havent rebooted after i tried installing
[16:24] <SirShmoopy> it is an OCZ, it was advertised as 240GB but shows as two 120's
[16:24] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: propably there is no driver for this RAID controller in Ubuntu. That will be hard to install it on this drive.
[16:25] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: I had same issue with OCZ Revo X2. It showed as 4 drives, but 12.10 deals with it great.
[16:25] <ok_wait> Espnu, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=unable+to+open+%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fsudo%2F+read+only+filesystem+dpkg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[16:25] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, does that mean i wouldnt be able to install on a single 120?
[16:26] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: You can try to split those drives in OCZ utility at boot, and see if you can use them as two separate drives. I'm not sure. I never tried it.
[16:26] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: but keep in mind, you're loosing almost half of performance that is advertised.
[16:26] <tapas> ok, installed a new kernel, rebooted the system, no more nvidia :(
[16:27] <epic_> my ubuntu is becomes slow
[16:27] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, im going to find my box, i dont rememebr any discs and i dont see any prompts during POST
[16:27] <Espnu> i'll try a reboot, doubt my disk is failing
[16:27] <grzywacz> tapas, quite likely if it was compiled for a different kernel version
[16:27] <epic_> vlc playing slow video
[16:27] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: If it's RAID drive, made by OCZ for better performance, it should have it's own boot prompt.
[16:28] <tapas> grzywacz: well, the kernel updates from ubuntu worked flawlessly previously...
[16:28] <ok_wait> Espnu, you can check the smart status with palimpsest
[16:28] <ok_wait> or 'disk utility'
[16:28] <tapas> i'll setup grub to let me choose the kernel on boot..
[16:28] <Jordan_U> SirShmoopy: Your BIOS is probably assembling the array (FakeRAID), which since Ubuntu installed separately to one drive, isn't actually a valid array. You're probably getting the first stripe of the first disk, and thus a valid grub MBR+embedded area, but the rest of the aray is invalid and thus grub can't read any data from the filesystem.
[16:29] <tapas> grzywacz: i even sudo apt-get install nvidia-current --reinstall
[16:29] <tapas> didn'\t help
[16:30] <grzywacz> tapas, ok. That doesn't happen often. :-) Any error messages in Xlogs or som such? What happens if you try to modprobe nvidia manually?
[16:31] <mike_papa> Jordan_U: I belive he's trying to install Ubuntu, so it's not installed yet. OCZ makes it's PCIe drives as cards with 2 or 4 separate drives with own RAID0 controller on board.
[16:31] <Espen____> no_wait it found something wrong with partitions at restart, now it works :)
[16:31] <Espen____> just curious if i should remove the headers/source now
[16:31] <tapas> grzywacz: FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.
[16:32] <mike_papa> Jordan_U: before 12.10 I found no way to access them at all. Separately, or joined.
[16:32] <tapas> grzywacz: i guess it's because it's maybe the lowlatency kernel..
[16:32] <tapas> grzywacz: let's see..
[16:32] <Catbuntu> hi
[16:33] <Amnesia> 0ohai
[16:34] <genii-around> tapas: I'm not sure if there is a linux-headers  package for lowlatency  , but nvidia-current usually needs them to build the module with dkms
[16:34] <felipe_Brz> i'm trying to instal DIA on ubuntu 11.10 via aptget ... however, I'm seeing an error message: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[16:34] <felipe_Brz>   dia-common libart-2.0-2 dia-libs dia gsfonts-x11
[16:35] <felipe_Brz> sorry for length of text
[16:35] <felipe_Brz> is it ok to download this package regardless of the warnings?
[16:36] <tapas> genii-around: ok..
[16:36] <tapas> genii-around: booted into a generic kernel.. trying to reinstall nvidia-current now..
[16:36] <llutz_> felipe_Brz: you always should import the repos signing-key before using those packages
[16:36] <genii-around> tapas: Ah, apparently, there is.   Did you have packages:   dkms  build-essential and linux-headers-lowlatency     installed before installing nvidia-current  ?
[16:37] <llutz_> felipe_Brz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring          for the standard repos. if you use 3rd party stuff, get their gpg-keys
[16:37] <SirShmoopy> thank you mike_papa, Jordan_U. i'm going to try another reboot with a 12.10 disc and see if anything changes
[16:37] <felipe_Brz> llutz_:  ah thank you very much
[16:37] <tapas> genii-around: nope.. but i reinstalled nvidia for my generic kernel and it works now.. will try with the -lowlatency kernel again, too
[16:37] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: yw
[16:38] <felipe_Brz> llutz_:  hmm.. i did that and still I got the same warning
[16:38] <tapas> hmm, my attempt at configuring grub to show me a menu failed.. so the onlyu way was to uninstal the lowlatency kernels ;D
[16:38] <roger21> should i use apt-get or aptitude?
[16:39] <llutz_> !aptitude   | roger21
[16:40] <grzywacz> tapas, 'modprobe nvidia' didn't work, right?
[16:40] <roger21> so?
[16:40] <tapas> grzywacz: no. not with the lowlatency kernel. i fixed it in this generic kernel though.. installed kernel headers and now will reboot into it
[16:40] <genii-around> tapas: For grub , edit /etc/default/grub      so that you have GRUB_DEFAULT=0     and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0  and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true      in there. Then  sudo update-grub    and also doing   sudo update-initramfs -u     can't hurt
[16:41] <bill> hello good morning all
[16:41] <llutz_> roger21: read, understand, decide
[16:41] <roger21> i don't understand
[16:41] <bazhang> roger21, use apt-get
[16:41] <roger21> am i concerned?
[16:41] <roger21> ok
[16:42] <tapas> genii-around: grzywacz: adding the lowlatency kernel headers did the trick..
[16:42] <genii-around> tapas: Good :-)
[16:42] <tapas> genii-around: yep, found that out, too ;D now i have the problem that i disabled usb legacy support in my bios at one time (since i had some peripherals trouble)
[16:43] <tapas> but the grub menu shows a single entry "Ubuntu" anyways..
[16:43] <tapas> so that's useless ;D
[16:43] <tapas> i guess it needs more setup..
[16:44] <tapas> i guess i have to reset my bios settings to be able to reenable legavcy USB support since i don't have a PS/2 keyboard anymore ;D
[16:44] <JulioCesar> hola
[16:44] <ok_wait> hoya!

[16:52] <TeraQuibbler> Hello
[16:52] <TeraQuibbler> Is there bactrack repository i can enable in ubuntu to use backtrack apps?
[16:53] <TheLordOfTime> TeraQuibbler, no.
[16:53] <TheLordOfTime> !backtrack | TeraQuibbler
[16:54] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, i installed backtrack 5 r2 then added the ubuntu repos to upgrade to precise. once you do this you won't receive updates from backtrack
[16:54] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: i didnt understand. You installed backtrack 5r2 (which is based on 10.04 ubuntu) and upgraded to ubuntu 12?
[16:55] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, that's correct
[16:55] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: and if do this i wont get the new apps that come from backtrack?
[16:55] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, that's correct as well
[16:56] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: then whats the point of this. You installed backtrack for its apps, if you wanted ubuntu you would install plain ubuntu.
[16:56] <ok_wait> i wanted backtrack but i didn't want it to always run in root and i didn't want it to look like backtrack
[16:57] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: but now you got outdated apps
[16:57] <ok_wait> that's ok with me
[16:57] <ok_wait> i got what i wanted from it
[16:57] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: Is it impossible got both repos?
[16:57] <ok_wait> yes
[16:57] <ok_wait> too many problems
[16:58] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: btw you could just create a normal user for bt, i did that in the past for casual uses.
[16:58] <adrianazzy> alguien de aqui, habla español
[16:58] <ok_wait> yea i did that
[16:59] <ok_wait> this is an everyday use machine so i wanted the everyday use repositories. i don't do pentesting every day
[17:00] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: Basically the solution i found to avoid dualbooting of everyday distro and pentest distro is using gentoo. Gentoo allows you to enable the overlay of gentoo-based distro (pentoo) which has as many pentesting apps as backtrack. So everytime you upgrade you get the latest gentoo apps and the latest pentoo apps. (If some app is common in them, the newest is chosen)
[17:00] <ok_wait> if i ever wanted to upgrade to bt5 r3 or r4 i would leave the home partition un-formated and format / for bt the add the repos for ubuntu again
[17:00] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: also you can enable gentoo-hardened kernel and confguration to have a safe system on top of that
[17:01] <ok_wait> i'll keep that in mind. there are other defaults that come with bt (scripts etc.) that i wanted as well
[17:02] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: anyway i am off. I think for your case gentoo would work wonders. (And you have to compile max 5 minutes a day if there is an upgrade)
[17:02] <bobweaver> anyone here know a bit about apt-file ?  like I want to clean everything and get it all again apt-file purge && apt-file update ?
[17:02] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: i think they got them too. Some people in pentoo channel are the same as backtrack. They just wanted a more customisable distro than plain backtrack.
[17:03] <sudhin> ubuntu using laptops don't utilize battery as well as windows 7 . is there any way to fix this??? please somebody help me....
[17:04] <sevenless> Hey there, what's up with the Linux clipboard? When I copy HTML tables from web pages, they just come out as single columns with newlines when I paste them into text.
[17:04] <bobweaver> sudhin,  windows doesent manage virus very well. and Ubuntu does. any way to fix that ?  what I mean is there nis not reason to compair , but that being said you can check the broghtness and dimming settings
[17:05] <bobweaver> brightness *
[17:07] <sudhin> but when battery at 100% shows after some time shows 97% and then 88%.. battery power suddenly drops down
[17:07] <pc9> xdggfsd
[17:07] <pc9> sfdf
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> sudhin, first off, did you check your actual battery health?
[17:08] <lvmer> Reset your battery display... I know how to do it in windows, but not ubuntu.
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> sudhin, i had this issue with a two-year-old battery, it died a few weeks back.  :P
[17:08] <bobweaver> sudhin,  thats what happens when you use your battary . what is health of it and did you change brightness ?
[17:10] <mike_papa> I get "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" after "sudo chroot edit". What's wrong?
[17:10] <Cong> Why isn't this possible? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379922/
[17:11] <sudhin> bobweaver,  yes i tried it.no change this is not only my problem some of other my friends has the same problem..
[17:11] <billbill> help please --i trying to change appearnce using  this app can someone talk me thru it
[17:11] <bobweaver> How to use gsettings ?  example I want to change battery life thing.      gsettings com.canonical.indicator.power set show-time false   no workie
[17:12] <bobweaver> gsettings set   com.canonical.indicator.power show-time false      also no workie
[17:12] <TeraQuibbler> is it safe to repartition win7 ntfs partition or i lose data?
[17:12] <mike_papa> Cong: dd has no permission. If you know what you do, try sudo dd
[17:12] <Cong> mike_papa, that's what I did.
[17:12] <mike_papa> TeraQuibbler: it's never safe to repartition.
[17:13] <bobweaver> NVM that did work
[17:13] <llutz_> Cong: no you used sudo echo
[17:13] <mike_papa> Cong: you did sudo echo, not dd
[17:13] <llutz_> Cong: the sudo ends at the |
[17:13] <Cong> Okay.
[17:14] <mike_papa> Cong: after | should be sudo dd...
[17:15] <mike_papa> and how "sudo chroot" can give me "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" error? Shouldn't command run with sudo have all permissions?
[17:16] <bobweaver> billbill,  what is "this" app ?
[17:16] <billbill> i just want to change the appearance in gnome
[17:16] <sudhin> evidunna??
[17:17] <billbill> i dont really know how i am very new
[17:17] <bobweaver> billbill,  you have gone to Dash ->settings -> appearance
[17:18] <bobweaver> billbill,  Dash is what you see after pressing the Ubuntu button or bfb
[17:18] <bobweaver> in the launcher the top one ^^
[17:19] <bobweaver> billbill, in the terminal it is called   "gnome-control-pannel "
[17:19] <Heather_> where should I place my .sql file if I want to import it manually to my database?
[17:20] <sam_nazarko> is this place acceptable for mdadm advice
[17:20] <bobweaver> Heather_,  ~/    ?
[17:21] <bobweaver> Heather_,     mysql -h DBHOST -u DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < /home/username/data.sql
[17:21] <bobweaver> Heather_,  make sure that  -p  and the password have no white space
[17:21] <billbill> it said not found when i added to terminal
[17:21] <billbill> gnome-control-panne
[17:21] <bobweaver> -p pass  << wrong     -ppass  << right
[17:22] <bobweaver> Heather_,  ^^
[17:22] <slinkeey> Hello
[17:22] <bobweaver> my bad billbill  "gnome-control-center"
[17:22] <sam_nazarko> I am trying to create a new array with mdadm. I had an old array. I did mdadm --stop; did zero-superblovk and even overwrote the MBR of each partition with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/XYZ bs=512 count=1. So how does creating a new array (--assume-clean), result in the partitions being recreated?
[17:22] <slinkeey> Why does my machine generate pcl for printing slower than when it runs XP.
[17:23] <noob2> hello.  i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to modify mountall to accept a new type of storage?
[17:23] <noob2> i want to add a new storage type to the fstab and i think mountall was the thing i needed to modify
[17:26] <bobweaver> billbill,  backaground of what ?
[17:26] <bobweaver> !screenshot | billbill
[17:26] <usr13> noob2: What exactly do you need to do?
[17:26] <noob2> usr13: i'm trying to add ceph rbd devices to the fstab
[17:27] <noob2> i'm pretty sure it won't understand how to mount it on startup
[17:27] <usr13> I'm pretty sure I don't know what ceph or rbd devices are.
[17:28] <noob2> they are network mounted block devices
[17:28] <pgib> has anyone in here experience dnsmasq performance issues since upgrading to 12.10?  For some reason there are two dnsmasq processes (one run as nobody, the other as dnsmasq)  The processes take up 80% cpu when performing a DNS query. It makes my apparent latency on the internet ridiculously slow
[17:28] <noob2> there's a kernel module that understands how to map the devices
[17:29] <digadvan> any bind gurus online?
[17:30] <pgib> it looks like the 'nobody' one is being spawned by networkmanager, while perhaps the other one is a system service
[17:31] <bobweaver> !rdp
[17:32] <bobweaver> how to set up other Ubuntu computer so that I can get to it from lightdm ?
[17:32] <TheLordOfTime> !vnc | bobweaver
[17:33] <bobweaver> ahhhh it is vnc
[17:33] <digadvan> any of you setup a bind dns slave server before?
[17:34] <ok_wait> i've never heard of a slave server
[17:34] <bobweaver> TheLordOfTime,  so I just set up tight and then I should be able no thta is not right wherre do config files go then ?  or ip is uname and if so how to log in a a user ?
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> bobweaver, i never set up VNC, you may want to just read the documentation
[17:34] <bobweaver> TheLordOfTime,  In lightdm login menu for 12.10
[17:34] <genii-around> digadvan: Might get better response for that one in #ubuntu-server
[17:35] <digadvan> ok_wait, it a dns term.. typically your secondary dns server is setup as a slave
[17:35] <digadvan> ok
[17:35] <digadvan> thanks
[17:35] <grek2> is possible to use unity seach and lenses with kde ?

[17:35] <ok_wait> ah
[17:36] <konam> does anybody knows an alternative to hideman vpn for ubuntu?
[17:36] <bobweaver> grek2,  short answer no long answer yes once kde is ported or intagrated with qml and not QT
[17:36] <bobweaver> grek2,  widgets  for now
[17:37] <konam> it's a simple vpn manager, let's you connect to the internet masked as coming from several countries in a very easy and simple way
[17:37] <grek2> widget witch search ? ok im search
[17:37] <grek2> great
[17:37] <Erik_D> konam: sort of like tor but not really?
[17:37] <devral> hi. I'm trying to create a tar backup of folders. I'm using "find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec /bin/tar -zcvf today.tar.gz {} \;" but it's only archiving the last directory in the list
[17:38] <grek2> how i can firn somethink about widgets ? (lens for kde)
[17:38] <ok_wait> devral, i think there's a #bash
[17:38] <devral> okay thanks
[17:38] <bobweaver> grek2,  they are not "lens" you can ask in #kbunutu
[17:39] <alecjw> hi, does anyone know why i get this error when trying to transfer files to my galaxy nexus (MTP device) in rhythmbox under ubuntu 12.10? "Unable to send file to MTP device: PTP Layer error 02fe: get_storage_freespace(): could not get storage info."
[17:39] <grek2> ok :)
[17:39] <konam> Erik_D i haven't used tor because it seems that the focus of it it's anonimity not the masking of your IP to any specific country (although it does that randomly i presume)
[17:39] <grek2> its pity to tomboy is not in default repo
[17:39] <grek2> is best lens :)
[17:39] <grek2> but best when work togetrer lens is grat at all :)
[17:40] <Erik_D> konam: So what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[17:40] <bobweaver> grek2,  #kubuntu   sorry about the miss type
[17:40] <konam> Erik_D mask my ip as if it was coming from another country, UK, or NL, or germany, you name it
[17:41] <Erik_D> konam: Can you just use a proxy site?
[17:43] <konam> Erik_D no, i need the web browser to behave "normally", usually this sited disable things that won't let me use this other site i'm trying to access efficiently
[17:44] <Erik_D> konam: Tor can do that: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/29/configure-tor-to-use-a-specific-country-as-an-exit-node/
[17:45] <noob2> usr13: so would you know where i could start to add a new filesystem mount into the fstab?
[17:45] <doomlord> fstab=?
[17:46] <noob2> doomlord: i'm looking to add a new type of network mount to the fstab
[17:46] <noob2> since ubuntu has teamed up with ceph maybe they're already working on this and i can leave it to them.  i'm not sure
[17:46] <doomlord> is it a list of places that get mounted on startup or something
[17:47] <noob2> sort of.  i'm looking to have it mount ceph rbd devices
[17:47] <xpistos> Hello all. When I rebooted my 11.10 desktop my w TB drive is not showing up in fdisk. I can go to the drive listed on the left but if I go to the mount it says there is nothing in it. Can someone help?
[17:47] <noob2> it'll need something like mountpoint, monitor ip addr, pool, device name
[17:47] <usr13> noob2: I know how to make a fstab entry, but I do not know what ceph or rbd devices are.  Do you have either one mounted now? If so, mount | pastebinit
[17:48] <doomlord> i recall having to mess somewhere to get networking  with windows, but prefer the solution of not running windows now
[17:48] <noob2> will do
[17:49] <xpistos> This has happened in the past but when I reboot it has been fine
[17:49] <noob2> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380015/  last entry
[17:50] <noob2> this is a little more clear: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380021/
[17:50] <noob2> shows more info about it
[17:50] <noob2> this shows exactly  how rbd's are mounted: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-ko/
[17:51] <xpistos> when i reboot the computer it says that "The disk drive for /home/nanette/Titan is not ready yet or is not present." Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
[17:51] <noob2> xpistos: S to skip
[17:52] <noob2> something in your fstab is missing upon boot
[17:52] <xpistos> noob2: yes, when I skip it boots, but that puts me where I am now. I will pastebin my fstab real quick if someone can tell me what I am missing.
[17:53] <usr13> noob2: So how is this device mounted now?
[17:53] <Johnnie71> hi there
[17:53] <Johnnie71> is  "added value on the internet" a good sentence?
[17:53] <konam> thank you Erik_D i'll check that out
[17:54] <ok_wait> JohnFlux, no
[17:54] <ok_wait> Johnnie71, no sorry
[17:54] <alecjw> Johnnie71: thats.... not a sentence at all. nor is that question relevant to #ubuntu
[17:54] <xpistos> the drive is mounted using the UUID but the mount is using the /dev/sdd1
[17:54] <usr13> Johnnie71: Missing subject
[17:55] <Johnnie71> Hrm, why not? @alecjw you are right but I couldnt find an offtopic channel

[17:56] <ubuntu__> Hello I'm new to ubuntu. Ran into a boot up issue with my mint. Out of frustration I am using ubuntu to look into reparing it. But I am having so much fun with unity that I am reconsidering switching to ubuntu. Just one question. Can the start button on ubuntu be changed?
[17:57] <Cong> ubuntu__, no.
[17:57] <alecjw> Johnnie71: #defocus
[17:58] <z__> a
[17:58] <ubuntu__> Cong, really. That sucks. Thought there was a way to change that
[17:58] <Johnnie71> alecjw: thanks
[17:59] <Cong> ubuntu__, if there was a way what would you have it changed to?
[17:59] <ubuntu__> Cong, just icons. Like the Mortal kombat symbol for a mortal kombat theme lol
[18:00] <xpistos> and when I try sudo fdisk -l sdd isn't listed
[18:00] <Cong> ubuntu__, somethings are just not meant to be change.
[18:00] <noob2> usr13: basically I setup a ceph.conf file which points to a monitor machine.  i then say rbd map test1 --pool test
[18:01] <noob2> it connects to the monitor and mounts the block devices as /dev/rbd0
[18:01] <xpistos> but if i go there from sidebar it shows up
[18:02] <ubuntu__> Cong, well that is sad. I fell in love with linux becuase of the power of choice over microsoft. But wow is unity fast. Hell I'd compare it to my windows 7. I have mint kde and windows 7 dualbooted. I love kde and all. But the access of files and programs is so amazing on unity.
[18:03] <xpistos> why would I be able to see it from the side bar but it now show up in fdisk?
[18:03] <xpistos> but not show up in fdisk?
[18:03] <doomlord> i dont understand why unity gets so much flak. I like most of its deisgn decisions. I especially like the way it handles maximize with the title/menubar
[18:03] <tiago> hello there
[18:03] <goahead87> Some one here that have the time to try help he
[18:04] <wastrel> doomlord: it's improved a lot since first release, i think a lot of the bad feelings about it are lagging indicators
[18:04] <tiago> are you guys having problem with flash player too?
[18:04] <wastrel> goahead87: just ask your question
[18:05] <goahead87> Me get ubuntu
[18:05] <xpistos> also sudo blkid doesn't show the drive
[18:05] <doomlord> admitedly having the option for horizontal dock would be nice, but i always put my dock vertical on a mac , the same
[18:05] <tiago> i can't access google for my plash player seems to be outdated
[18:05] <xpistos> I can use files in the drive by navigating to i9t from the side bar
[18:06] <mschr> hiya
[18:06] <mschr> i have a file in /etc/profile.d/java containing JAVA_HOME=/path ; export JAVA_HOME however, it is not exported to environment variable set?
[18:06] <goahead87> My screen are just flips after I updated and restartet
[18:07] <Guest59616> ok. so I'm having issues getting into my mint. The mint server won't let me in for whatever stupid reason. I'm getting sick of this. I might just hop onto ubuntu. Can anyone tell me what I need if I want to change the color theme of my windows?
[18:07] <mschr> any pointers as to where i should set system-wide environment?
[18:08] <tiago> my chromiun asks me to update my plash player to access google, how can I do that?
[18:09] <sudhin> tiago, go to tools > extensions and search
[18:09] <xangua> tiago do you have adobe flash player installed¿
[18:09] <tiago> yes
[18:10] <goahead87> Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startup ?
[18:10] <Dub-C> hi. i am experiencing problems with google chrome in ubuntu and would like to delete all caches and reinstall. where can i find all folders belonging to chrome? simply uninstall doesnt do.
[18:12] <ok_wait> Dub-C, get bleachbit and open it as root then apt-get remove chromium-browser and run the clean option in bleachbit while everything having to do with chrome is checked and nothing else
[18:12] <pksadiq> Dub-C: may be at ~/.chromium , just delete it and open chromuim
[18:13] <Dub-C> i dont have chromium, but google chrome
[18:13] <Dub-C> does the solution differ?
[18:13] <miikey212> What's a good high FPS recorder for Ubuntu? Something I can use to record Steam games like TF2 or Amnesia?
[18:13] <goahead87> Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startu
[18:14] <pksadiq> Dub-C: better user chromium. anyway the path may be .chrome or something like that at your home directory
[18:14] <goahead87> Startup
[18:14] <Dub-C> ok thank you
[18:14] <tiago> google shows a splash screen where is writen 'adobe flash player 11.4.402.278' to download, I can download it, but i cant install it is .cpl
[18:17] <dcherniv_> miikey212, vlc maybe
[18:17] <goahead87> Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startup ?
[18:17] <trippeh> Where have the tunables for the system tmpfs's gone in 12.04/12.10?
[18:17] <miikey212> dcherniv_: VLC records your screen?
[18:17] <dcherniv_> miikey212, oh my... yes
[18:18] <xpistos> I think that another disk is bad or missing and it gave my 2 tb drive a different drive letter
[18:23] <xpistos> Okay so it wasn't my 2 tb drive having the problem it was another drive. But by changing to the UUID it is better now
[18:23] <tiago> my problem is what follows: I can't access several websites such as google.com in any browser I have (chromiun, firefox or opera). It says my flash player must be updated, and offers me to download it (adobe flash player 11.4.402.278 .cpl) how can I install it? Or how can update my current version? any thoughts?
[18:24] <ki7rw> i just bought an HP DJ 3510 but i can't print to it - i can print the ip though
[18:24] <ki7rw> i can use my web browser to connect to it also
[18:25] <tapas> tiago: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
[18:25] <tapas> or something?
[18:25] <tapas> apt-cache search flash
[18:25] <wastrel> ki7rw: what does it mean you can print the ip
[18:25] <ki7rw> using the printers utilities it prints just fine
[18:25] <wastrel> oh from the web GUI ?
[18:25] <ki7rw> wastrel: i can PING the ip
[18:25] <webfox> What is the basic package I should install in order to get the basic developer compilers and stuff for c of course.
[18:25] <wastrel> ki7rw: did you do auto configuration?
[18:25] <tiago> 'thanks but:
[18:25] <tiago> Reading package lists... Done
[18:25] <tiago> Building dependency tree
[18:25] <tiago> Reading state information... Done
[18:25] <tiago> E: Unable to locate package flashplayer-nonfree

[18:25] <ki7rw> wastrel: no
[18:26] <tiago> ok, sorry
[18:26] <dcherniv_> webfox, build-essential
[18:26] <tiago> here it ishttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1380100/
[18:26] <wastrel> ki7rw: in the printer settings you can probably just go in and put ipp://<ip of printer>/ipp
[18:26] <webfox> dcherniv_, yes, right! You are cool, thank you! ;)
[18:26] <ki7rw> since i can connect to the printer with my web browser i should be able to print to it
[18:27] <wastrel> ki7rw: correct, did you open up the printer configruator thing and put in the address of the printer?
[18:27] <HTC-DZ> will starting ubuntu with NOMODESET cause it to run slow?
[18:28] <ki7rw> wastrel: yes -  i set a static addess
[18:28] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, shouldnt make a difference
[18:29] <HTC-DZ> so basically if the live cd runs slow the installed OS would crawl as well?
[18:29] <gordonjcp> HTC-DZ: the installed OS will be a bit quicker
[18:29] <gordonjcp> HTC-DZ: CDs are *slow*
[18:29] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, what gordonjcp said
[18:30] <wastrel> ki7rw: in the printer properties on your ubuntu what's the URI ?
[18:30] <ki7rw> wastrel: well, it's a static address but i had to go into the router to reserve a dhcp address for that printer - not the usual way that i set a static address but it works the same
[18:30] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, also depending on your graphics cards things will speed up with the proprietary driver
[18:31] <ki7rw> wastrel: socket://192.168.1.6:9100
[18:32] <HTC-DZ> my graphics card is the reason i have to to start the live cd with NOMODESET. otherwise it doesnt boot and gets stuck with a black screen. GPU is nvidia 6150. nforce 430 mobo
[18:32] <wastrel> oki...
[18:32] <HTC-DZ> i know its an old chipset but up until ubuntu 11 its been working fine. no hassles at all
[18:32] <wastrel> ki7rw: i sorry this isn't a lpd ipp thing seems hp has their own proprietary protocol?  do you have HP drivers installed?
[18:33] <navalastro> yeray
[18:33] <wastrel> ki7rw: found this did you read it already?  https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/214021
[18:33] <ki7rw> wastrel: the printer is listed in the linux driver list and that's what i used
[18:34] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, ah yes. Chances are once installed you will get the black screen on startup.
[18:34] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, i would download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com put on a usb stick.
[18:34] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, once installed start with nomodeset and install the nvidia driver
[18:36] <goahead87> Have  that boot problem
[18:37] <HTC-DZ> dcherniv, im a bit lost. if i install it and it starts with black screen how am i going to install drivers from my usb?
[18:37] <xfact> Does Ubuntu support Intel GPUs? I have Intel HD graphics 3000 [as my Windows GPU information says], is there native set of hardware drivers exists like Nvidia's?
[18:38] <chinmay_> i am using ubuntu studio,, audio apps are crashing ?
[18:38] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, does nomodeset give you a text console?
[18:38] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, you should be able to still boot into your installation with nomodeset if you can do so with live cd
[18:38] <rokin> hi everyone  is there a good tool to setup a Multi-Monitor , i'm using now ARandR but i'm not happy with the results
[18:39] <HTC-DZ> oh ok, so startup with nomodeset, install driver, restart machine. n that should be that?
[18:39] <goahead87> Installed older version from a CD. And was working fine to the updating
[18:40] <goahead87> Now. Boot freez
[18:41] <HTC-DZ> dcherniv_ i havent installed it yet. i only tried from live cd. i boot from it, press f6, select nomodeset then it boots up. no text console
[18:41] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, yes that should do, nvidia driver requires some extra packages like kernel-headers and build-essential so you need to have wired internet connection since its kinda of a pain to configure wireless from command line if worst comes to worst
[18:41] <SlitazMint> When I mount NFS I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "red"
[18:41] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, ah then you should be ok.
[18:42] <iceroot> SlitazMint: red is the dir?
[18:43] <adknight87> Anyone know a easy to use voice recognition that responds with verbal answers
[18:43] <SlitazMint> iceroot, yes
[18:43] <iceroot> SlitazMint: remeber that nfs is NOT checking usernames, its just checking uids
[18:43] <iceroot> SlitazMint: so if the owner has uid 1000 and you have 1001 you are not the owner even when you have the same username
[18:43] <HTC-DZ> dcherniv_ wired internet connection i can do. one more thing, my system is an amd 64 single core 4
[18:43] <ki7rw> wastrel: thanks for the link - but the command hp-uninstall doesn't seem to exist
[18:44] <SlitazMint> my /nfs/exports on the server is like this:/red -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
[18:44] <dcherniv_> HTC-DZ, 64 bit shouldnt be a problem
[18:44] <HTC-DZ> 4000+ with 4 gb ddr 400 ram. u think its enough to run ubuntu 12.10 64 bit?
[18:44] <SlitazMint> iceroot, I don't think I have users even set up in NFS, it's just free for all.
[18:44] <dcherniv_> SlitazMint, man this rings some bells, i cant quite recall though what was the problem
[18:44] <SlitazMint> Not sure though, how do I check?
[18:45] <iceroot> SlitazMint: the permissions are on the filesystem/dirs not nfs
[18:45] <SlitazMint> Oh, how do I check for that then?
[18:45] <wastrel> ki7rw: you can probably skip that step if you haven't installed HP's drivers yet
[18:45] <iceroot> SlitazMint: every user froom remote can access that dir if his uid is the same as the owner/group
[18:45] <wastrel> ki7rw: and proceed with the rest of the driver installation steps
[18:46] <SlitazMint> How do I check the UID for /red and the UID I have in Ubuntu?
[18:46] <wastrel> what's /red pls
[18:47] <wastrel> you mean the owner & group uid
[18:47] <wastrel> you can type uid to see the current uid of the user or uid <some username> to see the uid of the username
[18:48] <wastrel> you can do ls -dn /red to see the uid of the owner and group of the /red directory
[18:48] <HTC-DZ> dcherniv_ ah ok, thanks so much. il do it tomorrow. gonna get sme sleep. laters

[19:04] <eindoofus> hi, I was attempting to download the 64 version of ubuntu for my intel machine and "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso" popped-up for download. Is this the correct file?
[19:04] <ikonia> yes
[19:04] <thiebaude> yes it is
[19:05] <eindoofus> thanks
[19:05] <episteme>  /window show 4
[19:05] <episteme> oops
[19:06] <cyxi> IS there any change of speed between *64 and *32 ?
[19:07] <thiebaude> cyxi, i didn't notice any difference
[19:07] <eindoofus> while I'm here I might as well ask. Is it the case that Linux Mint has taken over as the top distro, or is it just Distrowatch giving bad results?
[19:07] <cyxi> OK thiebaude
[19:07] <ikonia> cyxi: nothing you will see with your eyes
[19:07] <noiro> eindoofus, not sure about that one. Mint has always given me bugs.
[19:08] <ikonia> eindoofus: we don't know distrowatchs status/validity
[19:08] <noiro> Ubuntu has far better driver support imo
[19:08] <escott> cyxi, 64bit can potentially be faster because there are more registers
[19:09] <ikonia> noiro: its the same kernel....so it will have identical driver support

[19:10] <eindoofus> escott: I think you mean more virtual memory. Then again I could be wrong too. But I'm pretty sure it has nothing to due with registers
[19:12] <cyxi> IS there a way to hide the launcher bar on the left ?
[19:12] <eindoofus> cyxi: I was just looking at this and I think it's relevant to what your talking about: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/238494-50-32bit-64bit-virtual-machines
[19:12] <thiebaude> cyxi, auto hide

[19:29] <wastrel> adknight87: i made a launcher icon that calls a script
[19:29] <wastrel> there's a howto somewhere
[19:29] <IdleOne> adknight87: you would edit the  dot .desktop file for that launcher
[19:30] <adknight87> well I've made a *.desktop that launches a script on my own that part was easy
[19:30] <god_is_dead> hail
[19:31] <adknight87> but now when you right click and get that nice menu I was wondering if you can add for instance new tab like in chromium
[19:31] <pikaciu> god_is_dead: i'm not fine as well ! :-)
[19:31] <IdleOne> adknight87: you can, use the chromium.desktop file as an example. I don't know precisely how to do it.
[19:33] <Chucrute301> anyone liked the new ubuntu icons ?!
[19:33] <adknight87> IdleOne: Well this is for a wine application for integration like adding another link in that menu
[19:33] <Chucrute301> ?
[19:34] <IdleOne> adknight87: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/167304/how-to-create-desktop-files-and-new-menu-without-alacarte This might be useful
[19:34] <wastrel> adknight87: seems like you just add a [Desktop Action <name of action>] section and go crazy
[19:34] <wastrel> adknight87: looking at the thunderbird.desktop file
[19:34] <Chucrute301> :)
[19:36] <sadnoob> hello
[19:37] <Chucrute301> hi
[19:37] <dfgas-cr48> I have a i3 using the on chip graphics and looking for better drivers, i remember installing udated drivers before but didn't bookmark the page. any ideas?
[19:37] <adknight87> IdleOne: Info link in that post is broken. wastrel, could you go into details with that say I wanted to add a command
[19:37] <dfgas-cr48> this is for 12.04

[19:40] <wastrel> adknight87: in a terminal do locate chromium.desktop, then look at the file that will give you the examples you need.  i checked /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop  and found the menu items there
[19:40] <Dr_willis> this is not backtracksupport NetJester

[19:42] <NetJester> IdleOne: hurr durr
[19:42] <Dr_willis> NetJester,  i dont care what you use.  if you want ubuntu support.. then you need to be using ubuntu. else take it to a differnt channel

[19:43] <eindoofus> has anyone here run Windows 7 as a VM on Linux? I need to be able to use my Windows 7 apps and I can't risk them half-working.
[19:44] <altermann> i've inherited this Ubuntu desktop/server which is running 12.04 LTS or something to that extent and both KDE and Gnome are installed
[19:44] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  its commonly done.
[19:44] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  the specific apps may be the issue
[19:44] <bobweaver> eightfold,  yeah I do and also 8 vista and xp
[19:44] <noiro> Ubuntu 12.10 is a safe transition from 12.04, yes?
[19:44] <altermann> i've removed VBox 4.1 which was distributed via the Ubuntu software centre for QT front end and now i cannot install Vbox 4.2 from Oracle
[19:44] <k1l> eindoofus: performance could be an issue. or 3d support
[19:45] <eindoofus> how well does it run?
[19:45] <eindoofus> I'm not too worried about the 3d part
[19:45] <Dr_willis> totally depends on your system specs eindoofus
[19:45] <eindoofus> I don't really run games or 3d modeling applications
[19:45] <savio> eindoofus, i'm using win 7 for office and vmware 8 new feature also has unity support
[19:45] <k1l> eindoofus: that depends on your pc hardware, your usecase under linux, you use case on win, the win apps,....
[19:46] <bobweaver> eindoofus,  depends on the things that I am trying to  run like setting up VBox you can set things like ram ammount of cpu   3d graphics ect depends on how much ram you have and also cpus
[19:46] <savio> eindoofus, and it works fine if you have ram more 3
[19:46] <eindoofus> I guess a better question is whether a Linux host with a Windows 7 VM is about the same performance as a Windows 7 host with a Linux VM (which is what I do now).
[19:47] <bobweaver> eindoofus,  there is also things like qemu which is also a good vm then there is vmware also
[19:47] <eindoofus> wait... no. that isn't a better question. let me rephrase that. lol
[19:47] <noiro> how good of 3D quality could I get out of a Windows 7 Virtual box if i gave it 4GB RAM and used my GTX560 card?
[19:47] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  it will all depend on what you need to do IN the vm
[19:47] <savio> eindoofus, if you wanted to learn linux make it host so you can spend more time on host m/c than vm
[19:47] <k1l> eindoofus: honestly, just give it a try
[19:48] <eindoofus> I need to be able to run Visual Studio and develop in it.
[19:48] <k1l> noone will guarantee you anything
[19:48] <Dr_willis> Its getting where i need windows for very very few things these days
[19:48] <Rikplay> What can i do to my ubuntu install to ensure it will load when a put the hdd into a new computer?
[19:48] <Katbuntu> Hi
[19:48] <sid|1> just bought 8gb of ram
[19:48] <noiro> Rikplay, not possible. :P
[19:48] <eindoofus> I think I will. Is there a free VM solution that is still high performance?
[19:48] <altermann> can anybody help me with this issue? http://pastebin.com/D2Q5cQBY
[19:49] <noiro> Each installation has drivers needed for that hardware. A new computer has different hardware.
[19:49] <Dr_willis> Rikplay,  if the bootloader is on the HD and thats HD is set to boot.. it should boot..
[19:49] <Rikplay> noiro, please elaborate
[19:49] <Dr_willis> ive moved hds from differnt machines with only small issues..  it depends on how similer the 2 machines are
[19:49] <noiro> Rikplay, you'd need to backup your data and reinstall. That's when drivers are established and installed based on that hardware of that system.
[19:49] <Dr_willis> noiro,  thats not totally true. it depends on a lot of things
[19:50] <noiro> Unless the new machine had identical mobo, cpu, graphics, etc.
[19:50] <Rikplay> Dr_willis: thank you, grub loads ubuntu all goes well, but it does stop at some point. i suspect its because old pc had nvidia and new has amd, would you agree this could be an issue
[19:50] <Dr_willis> Rikplay,  differnt video cards would be an issue. but not too hard to correct
[19:51] <eindoofus> is dual-booting still an option? I remember last time playing with that didn't work out. Has Windows 7 done something to keep that from working cleanly?
[19:51] <Rikplay> Dr_willis: Thank you, could you point me in some sort of direction where i could correct this, i assume i need to install the amd driver on the old machinbe 1st, is this correct
[19:51] <phibxr> eindoofus: Hmm? I've dual booted with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
[19:52] <pikaciu> Dr_willis: the linux kernel should have inside a lot of different drivers or not ?
[19:52] <phibxr> eindoofus: Just make sure to install Windows first since it does its best to destroy GRUB when you install it.
[19:52] <eindoofus> phibxr: have you played any games on Windows 8. I'd like to have the option to develop Windows 8 apps and develop games. Thinking about throwing it on another partition
[19:52] <Evil_Eric> i dont know what feels better 1,000.00 in my pocket or the fact i have found a xchat-indicator bug that has been confermed
[19:52] <Rikplay> Dr_willis: situation:- selling laptop but will keep drive and date, just give away a different drive with new install
[19:53] <phibxr> eindoofus: Only World of Warcraft. But I think both Windows 8 and World of Warcraft are a bit offtopic for #ubuntu. :)
[19:53] <eindoofus> can I message you (if that's what irc calls it)? :P
[19:53] <adknight87> Okay not so easy as I thought it didn't add the edits I had done to the *.desktop
[19:54] <phibxr> eindoofus: Sure thing, go ahead.
[19:56] <hs366> Hi
[19:58] <noiro> Hey guys, quick question. I just upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04. It would appear the new drivers missed my sound card (worked before by default). Any solutions?
[20:00] <pikaciu> noiro : alsamixer ?
[20:00] <Rikplay> OK Anyone - Is it possible to create USB bottable ubuntu which will boot on a large variety of computer hardware?
[20:00] <noiro> pikaciu: ?
[20:00] <Dr_willis> Rikplay,  you can remove/install the drivers from the console. or remove the drivers befor you remove the HD.
[20:01]  * ki7rw got his new printer working on ubuntu 12.10 - took a bit of work though
[20:01] <Dr_willis> Rikplay,  a live USB install does exactly that.
[20:01] <pikaciu> noiro : type the command : alsamixer
[20:01] <noiro> pikaciu: On the sound settings, all I see for output is Dummy Output
[20:01] <Mark6> yes it is Rikplay
[20:01] <Dr_willis> Rikplay,  a full install to USB will work for most hardware, unless theres specific drivers needed
[20:01] <noiro> pikaciu, no such file
[20:01] <eindoofus> hmmm. I just installed ubuntu and I'm somewhat confused. What is all of this amazon crap? I was trying to search for synatpic and 6 products showed up... It's a freakin OS, not a marketplace. What's going on?
[20:02] <Dr_willis> !adlens
[20:02] <Mark6> eindoofus synaptic is gone, it's all in software center now
[20:02] <Dr_willis> The Dash is the 'ultimate search starting point'
[20:02] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  you can install synaptic if you want it.
[20:02] <MonkeyDust> i have
[20:02] <Rikplay> Ok thanks you guys mostly Dr_willis i will research forward from here
[20:02] <Dr_willis> 'not installed by default' is not the same as 'gone' ;)
[20:03] <eindoofus> can I file a complaint somewhere. There is a reason I like open-source (because I'm an idealistic bastard) and this goes against why I'm here.
[20:03] <eindoofus> this should not be the default imo
[20:03] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  it wont matter.. ubuntu and amazon are being very friendly with each other.
[20:03] <Dr_willis> eindoofus,  if you dont like it. then disable it.
[20:03] <pikaciu> noiro : in Default mixer tracks ?
[20:04] <noiro> pikaciu: What do you mean?
[20:04] <Dr_willis> theres been hundreds of blog articals and so on about the amazon  search results
[20:04] <eindoofus> is there something good coming from this amazon/ubuntu fondling?
[20:04] <pikaciu> noiro : in Preference - Sound
[20:04] <eindoofus> bad choice of words. lol
[20:04] <Dr_willis> read the info mentioned in the factoid above.
[20:04] <eindoofus> sorry
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> eindoofus  depends on how you use it or what you like about it
[20:04] <noiro> If I go to Sound > Applications, I see Spotify and ALSA plug-in
[20:04] <Mark6> he< I got a question too, I did a fresh install of 12.04 and noticed the fonts on facebook.com look very different then usual, anybody knows what this is?
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> eindoofus  "good" is a matter of taste
[20:05] <noiro> I'm using gnome-shell
[20:06] <eindoofus> to a degree
[20:06] <pikaciu> Dr_willis: it is possible that the command - alsamixer - returns - file not found ?
[20:06] <stephan_arch> hey guys, I installed ubuntu 12LTS, now I want to make my start process a bit beautyfull, I want to remove the dark purple and replace that with the plymouth animation, how can I do that?
[20:06] <eindoofus> me shooting someone in the head is obviously "not good". you could agree with that right.
[20:07] <Mark6> unless he tried to shoot your wife first
[20:07] <guntbert> !ot | eindoofus ranting here does not help
[20:07] <eindoofus> still not good overall, be justifiable
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> eindoofus  canonical cannot change a complete system because of one individual's preferences
[20:07] <eindoofus> lol, sorry
[20:07] <k1l> eindoofus: do you have a real support issue? for chitty chat we have the offtopic and discuss channels
[20:07] <noiro> pikaciu: I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[20:07] <noiro> "
[20:08] <pikaciu> noiro : oh
[20:08] <eindoofus> I'm done alright. Just coming to terms with the Amazon crap.
[20:08] <Mark6> another question, I noticed my mouse curser is blinking and disappearing frequently, how can I deactivate this? I remember there was an option for this in 10.04, but can't find one in 12.04 (already tried the keyboard settings)
[20:10] <pikaciu> noiro : can you right click on the sound icon ?
[20:11] <noiro> pikaciu: yes. I can navigate to sound settings
[20:11] <pikaciu> noiro : Preferences ?
[20:12] <noiro> not preferences (i'm using gnome, remember), sound settings
[20:12] <stephan_arch> anyone?:(
[20:13] <pikaciu> noiro : try to open the menus regarding - device .
[20:13] <Dreamer3> is Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS not compatible with linux 3.6?

[20:13] <MonkeyDust> !plymouth > stephan_arch  read this
[20:13] <eindoofus> is there a search bar in "ubuntu software center"? not sure if my VM resolution is just cutting something off.
[20:14] <Mark6> yes there is
[20:14] <Mark6> top right
[20:14] <eindoofus> uh oh. I think it is cut off
[20:14] <noiro> pikaciu: nothing shows for my hardware. I'm using a Z77 board so it's still fairly new, but 12.04 supported it so.... not sure what is going on.
[20:16] <Pkunk> kernel.ubuntu.com down ... is there a mirror thats working ?
[20:16] <pikaciu> noiro : Additional Drivers ?
[20:16] <Tashtego> can anyone tell me why i see a shady graphic in my bottom right side of the desktop telling me "AMD - unsupported hardware" ?
[20:17] <Mark6> no but have you checked for proprietary drivers?
[20:17] <noiro> pikaciu, how would I find that in gnome? I don't see it anywhere.
[20:17] <pikaciu> noiro : i'm quite sure is there
[20:18] <Tashtego> Mark6, when i go to System Settings -> Additional Drivers, it tells me ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers are installed
[20:18] <pikaciu> noiro : All Apps - Theme & Tweaks

[20:55] <BluesKaj> noiro, you probly have to reboot
[20:55] <anonymous> hi
[20:56] <k1l> Guest55355: on unity you can grab with the pushed alt-key and push it upwards
[20:56] <noiro> BluesKaj: No output. :/
[20:57] <BluesKaj> noiro, that's good , it means the driver loaded
[20:57] <noiro> then why is there no detection of my hardware? e.o
[20:57] <pikaciu> noiro: aplay -l
[20:57] <Guest55355> k1l, is there any fix on gnome 3?

[20:58] <pikaciu> noiro: restart
[20:59] <Guest55355> k1l on unity, can u explain me how exactly should i be doing that. press alt key and then resize it, is that the way?
[20:59] <webfox> How do I install dhclient please ?
[20:59] <juan_> hola que tal gente
[20:59] <usr13> webfox: I don't know, but sounds logical.
[20:59] <webfox> Or beter yet, how do I verify if it is already installed ?
[20:59] <webfox> better
[20:59] <Muelli> webfox: hm. apt-cache policy dhclient  maybe.
[21:01] <k1l> Guest55355: press alt and grab the titlebar from that window and push it beyond the screen
[21:01] <Muelli> webfox:      dhcp3-client
[21:01] <kaleo_> ubottu are a real people?? :D
[21:01] <noiro> well....I feel like a dumbass. :/ Why didn't it work on first boot after update?
[21:01] <Muelli> no
[21:01] <lovinda> hi ubottu
[21:01] <Muelli> isc-dhcp-client
[21:01] <webfox> Muelli, so it already has it installed?
[21:02] <pikaciu> noiro: it works ?
[21:02] <noiro> pikaciu: with flying colors. :/
[21:02] <kaleo_> what mean?
[21:02] <pikaciu> noiro: it means yes ?
[21:03] <MrTorque> Hi! I want to set up ubuntu with DNS for small office. Do i need to configure it as "Caching Server" or as "Primary Master Server"? (referring https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto )
[21:03] <k1l> webfox: dhclient is installed on ubuntu
[21:04] <noiro> yes
[21:04] <beaky> is ubuntu server like archlinux?
[21:04] <pikaciu> noiro: ok.... so it's :-) not : / (it means sad) ....  :P
[21:04] <beaky> i.e. a minimal base to start from?
[21:04] <k1l> beaky: is a apple like a cherry? :/
[21:05] <k1l> beaky: you want the minimal install not the server install then.
[21:05] <beaky> oh
[21:05] <beaky> right thanks
[21:05] <beaky> I am installing every linux distro on my 2TB rig
[21:06] <guntbert> webfox: you are talking about ubuntu-server - please better ask in #ubuntu-server

[21:11] <Tweak> kaleo_, thank you i will look into it :D
[21:11] <Riley88> hey guys i have a question on 12.04 i changed the lightdm login wallpaper but when it starts light dm it flashes the old pink wallpaper is there a way to fix that
[21:11] <Xix19> does anyone here have experience with nginx configuration?
[21:11] <stephan_arch> does anybody know where I can get different plymouth animations?
[21:11] <melfy> Xix19: lil bit what you trying to do?
[21:11] <Xix19> melfy: I'm trying to disable gzip for a single php file
[21:12] <Xix19> melfy: I have a "location \.php {" which works just fine, but I only want to disable gzip compression for this particular file
[21:12] <overclucker> melfy: /tmp
[21:12] <Riley88> does anyone know what im talking about
[21:12] <melfy> overclucker: no other way? ;_;
[21:12] <Xix19> I know the configuration directive is "gzip off" but how do I add it only for this file?
[21:13] <melfy> Xix19:  try... location ~ ^/filename.php {gzip off;}
[21:13] <fjodor> hi, is it possible to underclock or underclock i3 cpu?
[21:13] <fjodor> undervolt or underclock
[21:13] <melfy> fjodor: isnt that more of a bios thing?
[21:14] <stephan_arch> anyone?:(
[21:14] <Logan_> !patience | stephan_arch
[21:14] <Xix19> melfy: now when I access the file it downloads it
[21:14] <melfy> haha
[21:14] <Xix19> I think it doesn't go through the original "location \.php$ {" anymore
[21:14] <melfy> put your proxy pass in there too
[21:14] <kaleo_> guys, say me something.. I want a Linux system! what is the better?
[21:15] <guntbert> !best | kaleo_
[21:15] <Xix19> I have to copy everything in "location \.php$ {" ? It's very long
[21:15] <melfy> Xix19: try putting location below the php$ ?
[21:15] <k1l> kaleo_: go with ubuntu. thats it
[21:15] <overclucker> melfy: that's the easiest way. you could also mount a new tmpfs.
[21:15] <Riley88> okay anyone? this is really starting to bug me because i changed my boot animation and itll still flash the pink wallpaper
[21:15] <Logan_> !patience | Riley88
[21:16] <melfy> overclucker: is tmpfs cleared on a reboot?
[21:16] <melfy> would probably have to re-copy files to there on a boot before webserver starts?
[21:17] <overclucker> melfy: yes. /tmp is tmpfs, btw
[21:17] <kaleo_> guntbert_ thanks!!!!
[21:18] <chaospsychex> can someone explain the grub loopback process ? i want to install ubuntu onto a partition that contains a existing distro. i can't format the partition because it's mounted. used grub to boot the debian iso which is on /dev/sda1 @ /boot/iso.
[21:18] <overclucker> melfy: you could probably modify your web server's upstart script to handle that.
[21:19] <melfy> overclucker: i am testing to see if it even helps hehe.... ty ty :) :)
[21:19] <Xix19> melfy: if I move it under it ignores it completely
[21:19] <chaospsychex> but i don't exactly understan what's happening with mounts and such when a iso is booted using grub loopback. the documentation is vague about it
[21:19] <melfy> Xix19: u can try moving everything inside of php$ to an include, and include that in any php derivites
[21:19] <ok_wait> chaospsychex, are you trying to install ubuntu to the device that holds the installation medium?
[21:19] <chaospsychex> ok_wait: yes
[21:20] <melfy> location php$ {include /etc/nginx/php.conf; extra stuff;}
[21:20] <Dr_willis> chaospsychex,  you would bneed to put the ISO file on its own partion thats not going to be formated during the install to be safest.
[21:20] <ok_wait> chaospsychex, partition it
[21:20] <melfy> Xix19:  that way it's cleaner in all your configs
[21:20] <Xix19> melfy: trying now
[21:20] <chaospsychex> Dr_willis: i tried putting it onto the swap parition after re-formatting swap to ext4 but i get errors in grub when trying to boot the iso if it's on /dev/sda5
[21:20] <Dr_willis> I normally have a /boot/ partion of like 6 gb. that way i can keep several ISO files on it.
[21:20] <edgy> Hi, what are the use cases of pulseaudio, I can play many files together without it
[21:21] <chaospsychex> ok_wait: what ?
[21:21] <Dr_willis> chaospsychex,  it should be able to boot the iso from that partion if you configure grub right.
[21:21] <chaospsychex> Dr_willis: ok. maybe the syntax was wrong
[21:22] <Dr_willis> http://www.otsglobal.org/2012/11/how-to-boot-an-iso-file-from-your-hard-drive-via-grub2-under-ubuntulinux-mint/ seems a decent guide.
[21:23] <Dr_willis> i always put mine on sda1 - so i knew it was (hd0,1)
[21:23] <chaospsychex> Dr_willis: /sda5 would be (hd0,5) ?
[21:23] <Dr_willis> I recall even booting them from a NTFS windows partion
[21:24] <Dr_willis> chaospsychex,  i would think so,, or you could make severl grub entries for the same iso with diffnert (hd0,X) entries and try them all
[21:24] <chaospsychex> Dr_willis: yes
[21:25] <Dr_willis> I normally dont install using this method. i tend to set up the ISO files after im installed for testing and recovery booting
[21:28] <juniour> hi
[21:29] <AceBlade258> alrighty, anybody here that can help me install some drivers
[21:30] <phunyguy_t430s> AceBlade258: just state your problem in it's entirety, bub.
[21:30] <AceBlade258> I'm on 10.04
[21:30] <AceBlade258> one sec
[21:30] <phunyguy_t430s> one line preferrably.
[21:31] <Xix19> melfy: thank you it worked like a charm!
[21:31] <Thy-Duang> My Ubuntu has shutdowns, freezes a lot and has a lot of crashes, bugs etc. I'm using the newest stable version x64. How can I fix this problem?
[21:31] <phunyguy_t430s> Thy-Duang: fully updated/
[21:31] <phunyguy_t430s> ?
[21:31] <Thy-Duang> Yes
[21:32] <Thy-Duang> Despite the fact, that some updates cause crash on the first try
[21:32] <melfy> Xix19: welcome :P
[21:32] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: freezes, shutdowns, crashes... sounds like hardware problems
[21:32] <ok_wait> Thy-Duang, check your logs and look for errors (/var/log) google those errors and you should find a solution
[21:32] <Thy-Duang> As for now, my Windows 7 is flawless and Ubuntu is terrible
[21:32] <AceBlade258> lspci output: http://pastebin.com/W25v251Q
[21:32] <AceBlade258> I'm running 10.04 x64 to build android. I don't have drivers for my network card and I can't figure out how to install them. I'm tethered using my phone at the moment.
[21:33] <Thy-Duang> How do I look for errors if my Ubuntu shuts down without any warning?
[21:33] <Dr_willis> Thy-Duang,  was this a clean install or a Upgrade?
[21:33] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: do you just want to rant? Do it elswhere please
[21:33] <Thy-Duang> Clean install
[21:33] <Thy-Duang> I don't want to rant, I want to fix the problem
[21:34] <Dr_willis> Thy-Duang,  you could monitor your logs as the system is running from a seperate box via ssh and hope to find some error messages/info/clues
[21:34] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: the we need details - start looking into /var/log/syslog
[21:34] <guntbert> *then
[21:34] <Random832> how do i install pygtk for python 3 on ubuntu?
[21:34] <Thy-Duang> Ok, I will change to Ubuntu and reconnect
[21:34] <Dr_willis> Could be anything from overheating, to power flucations.
[21:34] <Thy-Duang> Thanks a lot
[21:35] <Thy-Duang> Bah, that's the point. My laptop heats much more when on Ubuntu than on Windows
[21:36] <dtcrshr> Thy-Duang: I had an dv4 hp notebook that was at least twice as hot with ubuntu than with windows
[21:36] <guntbert> Dr_willis: overheating might be a possibility definitely
[21:36] <Thy-Duang> Ok, I thought it;s strange
[21:36] <Thy-Duang> But I'm totally green
[21:36] <Thy-Duang> Ok, brb with my var/log/syslog
[21:36] <Dr_willis> PyGTK 2.24.0 has been released. This is a stable release supporting the GTK+ 2.24 API    ... from the pygtk homepage... dosent seem like it supports the GTK3 stuff
[21:36] <Thy-Duang> Thanks a lot
[21:37] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: put it in a !pastebin
[21:37] <Thy-Duang> Ok
[21:37] <Dr_willis> !info pygtk
[21:37] <Dr_willis> !find pygtk
[21:37] <Cordel^> i need help
[21:37] <Dr_willis> we need details..
[21:37] <brainard52> Hello everybody. My audio just quit working, and I was wondering where I would start looking to get information on why it may have stopped. I'm using 12.04 if that helps any.
[21:38] <Cordel^> my Ubuntu is bootinf to a initramfs prompt
[21:38] <Cordel^> i am scared
[21:38] <AceBlade258> From what I understand, these drivers should have been installed during installation. However, I had no network connection during installation, and I'm guessing (despite it's LTS status) because 10.04 predates Cougar Point/Sandy Bridge, the drivers aren't included.
[21:38] <trism> Random832: for gtk3 you use gobject introspection to use gtk from python, for instance: from gi.repository import Gtk, then use the Gtk module in much the same way as the old python-gtk2
[21:39] <trism> Random832: though there are definite differences which you will encounter along the way
[21:39] <Cordel^> do i need to reinstall?
[21:39] <k1l> AceBlade258: dont you think its just not activated? usually you dont need special drivers for lan cards
[21:40] <Dr_willis> Cordel^,  given that you aparently havent tried anything to fix it yet... a reinstall would be premature.
[21:40] <AceBlade258> k1l: how would I check?
[21:40] <Cordel^> ive always been a premature guy
[21:40] <Dr_willis> you could always backup your imporntant stuff and reinstall if you wanted to i guess.
[21:41] <alex_wanspot> otik
[21:41] <k1l> AceBlade258: ifconfig
[21:41] <k1l> AceBlade258: because its listed in lspci
[21:41] <AceBlade258> if you mean bios-level, I know it's active there, otherwise lspci wouldnt report it
[21:41] <Cordel^> i need someone smart to fix my problem so i can take credit
[21:41] <angs> Hi I create an ad-hoc network by using wpa_supplicant without any problem. However, the wireless interface does not get the static IP that I defined. I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this. here is the settings http://pastebin.com/yYL3SAnb
[21:41] <Dr_willis> Cordel^,  id start with a live cd and that boot-repair tool
[21:41] <AceBlade258> the adapter isn't listed, just a loopback and my phone
[21:42] <DigitalYeti> hey, does anyone know if I swap out the mobo/processor/ram in my machine if it will cause issues with the current install of ubuntu on the hard drive? I mean, can I do that? or will I have to reinstall and start from scratch?
[21:43] <sid|1> kj som im building a comp
[21:43] <sid|1> so im*
[21:43] <AceBlade258> I'm fairly sure it's a lack of drivers
[21:43] <sid|1> if i buy 2 diffrent brands of ram
[21:43] <sid|1> with diffrent timing will it still work?
[21:43] <Thy-Duang> Got it: http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50afee0ea0a3e
[21:44] <AceBlade258> sid|1: hypothetically
[21:44] <sid|1> k thanks
[21:44] <Thy-Duang> It shutsdown at random occastions: last time I ran tetris made by my friend, one time I asked Skype to show history...
[21:44] <AceBlade258> sid|1: better to stick with matched ram
[21:44] <sid|1> ok
[21:44] <usr13> DigitalYeti: No, it'll be fine
[21:44] <AceBlade258> voltages and whatnot are a pain
[21:45] <sid|1> srry not diffrent brands
[21:45] <sid|1> but same brand
[21:45] <brainard52> Hello everybody. My audio just quit working, and I was wondering where I would start looking to get information on why it may have stopped. I'm using 12.04 if that helps any.
[21:45] <DigitalYeti> usr13: I know with windows I've had issues, but I thought linux would handle it fine. Cool, thanks! :)
[21:45] <usr13> brainard52: alsamixer
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> brainard52  open a terminal and type alsamixer
[21:45] <AceBlade258> I'm currently using samsung and g.skill
[21:46] <AceBlade258> sid|1: if they are different speeds, make sure you set all the speeds to the lower
[21:46] <brainard52> usr13: I feel a bit silly now. I don't know why I didn't think about that. Thanks.
[21:46] <sid|1> ok
[21:46] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: that covers only 12 minutes - without a start or a shutdown - too short for us to see any problems
[21:47] <sid|1> there all ddr3- 1866
[21:47] <angs> Hi I create an ad-hoc network by using wpa_supplicant without any problem. However, the wireless interface does not get the static IP that I defined. I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this. here is the settings http://pastebin.com/yYL3SAnb
[21:47] <Thy-Duang> So how can I provide you more information?
[21:47] <AceBlade258> keep in mind, Higher-speed ram tends to have slower timings. when you underclock it, the timings are still going to be slower
[21:47] <AceBlade258> meaning you will have higher-latency overall on your ram, decreasing performance
[21:48] <Cordel^> what is the INITRAMFS prompt and how do i boot out of it?
[21:48] <Thy-Duang> Wait for a shutdown, save a log and immediately paste it here?
[21:48] <AceBlade258> however, unless you are doing things the require a lot of memory operations, the difference shouldn't be a big deal
[21:49] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, you should be my fortune... i log on and get some nice information like that handed to me instead of my fortune...
[21:49] <AceBlade258> BoomerBile: thanks :)
[21:49] <guntbert> Thy-Duang: the are several log files /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz,....
[21:49] <Thy-Duang> Ah, ok
[21:49] <guntbert> *there are
[21:50] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, you know what fortune is right?
[21:50] <Thy-Duang> How do I find that it's the right one?
[21:50] <AceBlade258> nope
[21:50] <Cordel^> please help i dont want to have to reinstall again
[21:50] <guite__> alguien con vida?
[21:50] <Dr_willis> older logs are the ones with the #'s and compressed Thy-Duang
[21:51] <Dr_willis> Cordel^,  either the bootloader or grub or the kernl is confused about somthing. the  boot-repair tool MIGHT fix it all
[21:51] <BoomerBile> well, back in the days when we mostly used consoles, it was a program that would deliver you a fortune, weather that be a joke, advice, or just plain nonsense. They were always interesting to read... you can still install fortune and have it deliver your fortune when you log into a shell
[21:51] <linusoleander> I've problem running jar files in ubuntu. The always freezes. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting
[21:52] <AceBlade258> Cordel^: a quick google search suggested tuping exit
[21:52] <AceBlade258> *typing
[21:52] <AceBlade258> however, I'm absoloutely no expert
[21:52] <AceBlade258> so I have no idea weather that is reliable information
[21:53] <BoomerBile> What's the problem Cordel^ ?
[21:53] <Thy-Duang> Yeah, Dr_willis, but I have 7 of them. I can send you all of them, but I thought it will be easier if I find the right one and send only one.
[21:53] <Dr_willis> Thy-Duang,  wont do much good to send them to me., ;)

[21:58] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, run update-pciids, i think that's still the command, they recently changed it on me in gentoo. then do lspci again maybe it will show you what that is exactly, i'll start looking it up with those numbers
[21:58] <Thy-Duang> Now: copying and pasting those logs (only Chromium, Archive Manager and terminal) and it says: an internal error of Ubuntu 12.04 occured.
[21:58] <superfake123> when I boot my laptop I get a message 'failed to start the X server' how can I fix? D:
[21:58] <Dr_willis> the apport error reporting system says stuff like that when it detexts any crash logs.
[21:58] <Evil_Eric> superfake try this sudo startx
[21:59] <k1l> Evil_Eric: no!
[21:59] <Thy-Duang> Ah, ok
[21:59] <Dr_willis> its info may give a clue what crashed and why
[21:59] <Thy-Duang> http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50aff18f0f2e9
[21:59] <k1l> superfake123: dont do that

[21:59] <Dr_willis> superfake123,  could be your video drivers are confused or not instgalled properly. what is your bideo chipset?
[21:59] <MonkeyDust> superfake123  can you ctrl-alt F1 and login?
[21:59] <k1l> superfake123: start the xserver with: sudo start lightdm
[22:00] <superfake123> yes I'm in tty1
[22:00] <superfake123> or w/e it is
[22:00] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, looks like it uses the e1000e driver

[22:00] <k1l> superfake123: could you "pastebinit .xsession-errors" and show the link?
[22:00] <superfake123> it says lightdm start/running, process 1675
[22:01] <auronandace> BoomerBile: e1000 is ethernet, not wifi
[22:01] <BoomerBile> ah, a wireless card, you did not specify

[22:03] <BoomerBile> wait
[22:03] <usr13> angs: Wait, scratch that.
[22:03] <AceBlade258> is that a 32-bit driver?
[22:03] <superfake123> i wanna use lightdm and not mdm i dono where mdm came from
[22:03] <k1l> superfake123: which ubuntu is that exactly? or is it mint?
[22:03] <superfake123> ubuntu 12.10
[22:03] <AceBlade258> also, lan, wired
[22:03] <usr13> angs: Do you have network-manager installed and running?
[22:04] <Dr_willis> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm                superfake123  to select lightdm
[22:04] <AceBlade258> intel H67 chipset
[22:04] <usr13> angs: If so, that may be the problem.
[22:04] <k1l> superfake123: with cinnamon from a ppa?
[22:04] <Dr_willis> mdm is mints name for their dm manager. its installable on ubuntu via a ppa
[22:04] <superfake123> yeah I have cinnamon installed
[22:04] <angs> usr13: I am using ubuntu-server, I am not sure if network-manager is installed.
[22:04] <k1l> superfake123: that is caused by the mint ppa. so  i think the mint guys should know how to fix their stuff
[22:04] <usr13> angs: Shouldn't be
[22:05] <Thy-Duang> Dr_willis, found anything interesting?
[22:05] <usr13> angs: ifconfig wlan3  | pastebinit
[22:05] <superfake123> ok i'll head over to mint thx
[22:05] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, you need the mei driver, in kernel 3.0.0-17-generic
[22:05] <Daytripper> hi some one who knows abit scripting?
[22:05] <Dr_willis> Thy-Duang,  with what? ive been playing skyrim ;)
[22:05] <simplew> how can i know to what package a certain script belongs?
[22:05] <Thy-Duang> With my Ubuntu shutting down and freezing
[22:05] <AceBlade258> BoomerBile: kernel update?
[22:05] <Thy-Duang> I pasted 7 syslogs
[22:05] <AceBlade258> never done that on linux
[22:06] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, probably
[22:06] <BoomerBile> can you get on the internet with it?
[22:06] <Thy-Duang> Want me to repaste them?
[22:06] <AceBlade258> it's a lot easier on android... lol
[22:06] <AceBlade258> BoomerBile: no, tethered on my phone
[22:06] <AceBlade258> at the moment
[22:06] <BoomerBile> um
[22:06] <BoomerBile> that's the internet
[22:06] <angs> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380622/    however, I assigned the IP address by ifconfig -a wlan3 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
[22:06] <Dr_willis> i said i most likely wouldent be able to tell what was going on with them. if its totally random crashing with differnt apps at differnt times.. i would  be monitoring the system temps and perhaps trying a big fan on the pc,
[22:07] <AceBlade258> I feel like i missed something
[22:07] <Thy-Duang> Ok.
[22:07] <Thy-Duang> Do you know if installing other Linux can solve the problem? Fedora, Debian or w/e else?
[22:07] <BoomerBile> if your tethered to your phone, you probably did that for one reason right? to get on the internet? are you tethered to your phone with the pc that we're trying to fix? if so you should have the internet if it's tethered correctly
[22:08] <usr13> simplew: read /var/lib/dpkg/info/package-name.list
[22:08] <Dr_willis> Thy-Duang,  when in doubt.. test with a live cd.
[22:08] <AceBlade258> i do, and i see what you are saying now
[22:08] <BoomerBile> ok
[22:08] <Thy-Duang> Ok, thank you very much for your help
[22:08] <AceBlade258> i missed the context of the question, lol, my bad
[22:08] <usr13> angs: what was it before?
[22:08] <Thy-Duang> Goodnight
[22:08] <BoomerBile> now you can update your whole system or just the kernel.. do you use synaptic package manager AceBlade258 ? and no problem it happens.
[22:08] <AceBlade258> I'm actually on the offending computer right now,
[22:08] <angs> usr13: I run the wpa_supplicant configuration on two ubuntu server and they get the same cell ID, however when I assign the IP addresses by " ifconfig -a wlan3 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255" and "10.0.02" they cannot ping each other. I get Destination Host Unreachable error. do you know how I can ping them?
[22:08] <usr13> angs: Something from a dhcp pool somewhere on your LAN
[22:09] <angs> usr13:  it is an ad-hoc network, it did not get any IP since there is no dhcp
[22:09] <usr13> angs: "netmask 255.255.255"?
[22:10] <angs> sorry I copied wrong, there is also 0 at the end
[22:10] <usr13> angs: you mean 255.255.255.0 ?
[22:10] <angs> 255.255.255.0
[22:10] <angs> yes
[22:10] <usr13> ok
[22:10] <FloodBot1> angs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:10] <AceBlade258> yes
[22:10] <BoomerBile> i'm not in ubuntu, nor do i have access to it at the moment, can anyone give me the package name for the newest kernel image -generic?
[22:10] <JamesNZ> BoomerBile: 3.5.0-17 on my system.
[22:11] <usr13> angs: They both have the same essid?
[22:11] <usr13> showing in output of wiconfig
[22:11] <CorvusCorax> Hi. on Ubuntu 12.10, how do I change the power saving preferences, like CPU frequency scaling governor and the like. in the system panel under power I didn't find it, I think thats where it used to be
[22:11] <BoomerBile> JamesNZ, so sudo apt-get install image-3.5.0-17-generic that for 64 bit?
[22:11] <angs> usr13: yes, the same essid and cell id
[22:11] <MonkeyDust> BoomerBile  3.5.0-18-generic
[22:11] <MonkeyDust> here
[22:12] <usr13> angs: You should skip the encryption part.
[22:12] <auronandace> !mainline | BoomerBile
[22:12] <AceBlade258> in synaptic the highest available is 3.0.0-27
[22:12] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, you can install the new kernel using a package manager, or the command line, these two people just gave you the newest version numbers
[22:12] <BoomerBile> sudo apt-get install on the command line, probably want to sudo apt-get update first
[22:13] <AceBlade258> no risk installin the newest kernel?
[22:13] <BoomerBile> you may just want to install the dist upgrade twice
[22:13] <OerHeks> AceBlade258, you are on 12.04 ?
[22:13] <AceBlade258> sorry, installing
[22:13] <BoomerBile> no
[22:13] <BoomerBile> he's on 10.04
[22:13] <angs> usr13: but I need to use wpa, isn't it possible to use it with encryption?
[22:14] <BoomerBile> he might not want to install the whole update over his tether though it might get expensive
[22:14] <auronandace> AceBlade258: replacing the 10.04 kernel will likely require a ppa (then you won't be supported)
[22:14] <edoedo> hello, where can I find information about C++?
[22:14] <BoomerBile> #c++
[22:14] <AceBlade258> alright, here goes nothing
[22:14] <edoedo> I mean get free online C++
[22:15] <tpidffmtts> is there aany way to mount a 'dumb-phone' on ubuntu?
[22:15] <AceBlade258> BoomerBile: I have unlimited ;)
[22:15] <BoomerBile> AceBlade258, nice!
[22:15] <Wulframn> Hey guys! I have a new 64 bit computer that I'm looking at putting Ubuntu on. This is my first 64 bit computer. I know the 32 bit version of Ubuntu is recommended, so I am curious: is there any advantage to installing 64 bit on this box? Would I do better to keep with 32 bit or 64?
[22:16] <stephan_arch> I edited plymouth with playmouth manager, now I just get a black screen if I start
[22:16] <OerHeks> edoedo, try join ##c++ or ##c++general
[22:16] <tpidffmtts> Wulframn: go 64bit
[22:16] <AceBlade258> Wulframn: supports more than 4GB
[22:16] <stephan_arch> even  sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u doenst work
[22:16] <k1l> Wulframn: 32bit is recommended because not every computer can take 64bit. thats it
[22:16] <BoomerBile> Wulframn, there are arguements in all directions there... most people these days will say 64 bit.
[22:16] <k1l> Wulframn: go for 64bit if your hardware can
[22:16] <edoedo> Thanks
[22:17] <Wulframn> I know it is kind of a hot topic and I'm sorry for asking an obvious question. I used run Ubuntu exclusively, but I've been so involved with school and needing a Windows box that I've forgotten a good bit of all this stuff. =P Thanks for all the help!
[22:17] <AceBlade258> does ubuntu 64-bit have x86 libraies?
[22:17] <AceBlade258> Wulframn: keep in mind the smaller application pool 64-bit still has
[22:18] <AceBlade258> ah-ha! be back in a min
[22:18] <CorvusCorax> Hi, how do I change the power usage profile of the system in ubuntu ?
[22:18] <brainard52> usr13: Thanks for the tip. It's working now. I feel a bit like an idiot, but I haven't had problems in so long, I forgot how to fix things :/
[22:19] <Wulframn> I know 64-bit has a smaller application pool; is that really going to be a problem? I intend to do a side-by-side installation as I am still required to have Windows for school. I plan to use Ubuntu for writing papers, web browsing, basic functions.... and then Windows for my school work and Steam gaming. Will I have an issue with 64 bit having a small app pool?
[22:19] <AceBlade258> YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
[22:19] <usr13> brainard52: NP
[22:19] <k1l> Wulframn: that is no problem
[22:20] <AceBlade258> Wulframn: in that case, no
[22:20] <k1l> Wulframn: the only reason to take 32bit is that your hardware cant take 64bit.
[22:20] <AceBlade258> Thank you BoomerBile
[22:20] <AceBlade258> also, that was a ssd-worthy restart
[22:20] <Wulframn> Ok, cool! Thanks a lot you guys. Starting a download now (going LTS), so I'm off. Thanks all around, again!
[22:20] <BoomerBile> get it working?
[22:20] <usr13> angs: I meant that you should skip the encryption part until you get the connection esbablished.  In other words, turn off encryption, get the connection up and working, then you can turn it back on.  (I'm thinkinking it will simplify things for you.)
[22:21] <BoomerBile> your welcome AceBlade258
[22:21] <chris______> Can someone help me please. I unstalled Ubuntu full wiping out my windows. I need to partition so i can put windows back on. Linux mess up my system a bit because the oem win cd wont insall because linux changed the format of my sys

[22:23] <BoomerBile> you might need /join ##c++ if your irc client doesn't know what /j is
[22:24] <OerHeks> chris______, install windows first, it probably will take full hdd ( oem) then ubuntu
[22:24] <edoedo> it said overflow
[22:24] <BoomerBile> yeah it does that to me all the time
[22:24] <k1l> chris______: some oem recovery cds need a hidden partition where they load preformated stuff out of. if that is wiped ask the support from that manufacturer
[22:24] <BoomerBile> too many people trying to join at once
[22:24] <edoedo> Oh boy
[22:24] <edoedo> I try
[22:24] <trueneu_> Yeah, join ##c++ to teach your IRC client how to /j .

[22:35] <hakunin> i had 4 ec2 instances with ubuntu 12.04 ami working perfectly, and then 5th one working just as well. Then I bootstrapped one more the same way, and now I can't get it to accept my ssh agent forwarding - it keeps looking for private keys, and never gets offered my local dsa key... Every other instance works. I'm at a loss for the whole day now, trying to figure this out.
[22:35] <tim_> hello
[22:35] <hakunin> Any help would be much appreciated.
[22:38] <hakunin> I diff'ed their /etc/ssh/sshd_config's, restarted ssh, tripple-checked all i could think of - the instances just seem identical, but 5 work with agent forwarding and 6th one does not. :(
[22:38] <AceBlade258> Solved, just took out the graphics card
[22:39] <AceBlade258> sort-of an extreme solution, but whatever
[22:39] <TaJMoX> Does anyone know a good calendar program that will sync with my Google account?
[22:39] <AceBlade258> TajMoX: won't thunderbird?
[22:40] <AceBlade258> anybody know the package name for chrome?
[22:40] <omarayad1> not thunderbird it is sunbird
[22:42] <Niggle> hello, I am having problems with my frshly installed 64bit ubuntu 12.10. I am trying to install the properietary nvidia driver but now my resolutions is really low and it doesn't seem to use the driver (nvidia's settings programs says so). I have ran nvidia-xconfig
[22:42] <Niggle> also, I installed it from software sources
[22:42] <Niggle> I am out of ideas
[22:43] <Niggle> lsmod | grep nivida return nvidia
[22:44] <AceBlade258> alright, I'll be honest. I think windows is better looking, which is why i usually switch back after about a week
[22:44] <AceBlade258> how do i make ubuntu pretty
[22:47] <JamesNZ> Is there something like an apt-get search command to search the repos? Or do I have to use the software center?
[22:47] <CorvusCorax> apt-cache search
[22:48] <AceBlade258> Synaptic
[22:48] <JamesNZ> CorvusCorax: Thanks :)
[22:48] <CorvusCorax> going to sleep :)
[22:49] <Niggle> I guess this isn't the distribution for me then

[23:13] <\42\drinking\r\u> @ fellayaboy lloookin
[23:13] <AceBlade258> \42\drinking\r\u: Google GNex, all you will get is about the Galaxy Nexus
[23:14] <AceBlade258> :P
[23:14] <AceBlade258> anyway, back to MTP
[23:15] <\42\drinking\r\u> oh yey, thanks fellayaboy
[23:15] <AceBlade258> I know linux has a (ironically) better implimentation of it
[23:15] <\42\drinking\r\u> you need to back up sda immediately.
[23:15] <\42\drinking\r\u> looks like its dying
[23:15] <\42\drinking\r\u> AceBlade258 really? win's version sux
[23:15] <fellayaboy> wow physicall hardware failure?
[23:15] <AceBlade258> MTP is microsoft's protocol, and it's slow at cold sap
[23:16] <fellayaboy> thats what i saw too ...mtp microsoft
[23:16] <AceBlade258> fellayaboy: how old is the drive?
[23:16] <viddy> just use adb \o/
[23:16] <fellayaboy> maybe 2 years old or 3 years
[23:16] <\42\drinking\r\u> fellayaboy: install smartmontools
[23:16] <\42\drinking\r\u> then run a scan of that disk
[23:16] <fellayaboy> ok
[23:16] <AceBlade258> viddy: ha! thanks, hadn't thought of that
[23:16] <\42\drinking\r\u> and in your mobo bios i owuld enable the smart there too
[23:16] <\42\drinking\r\u> sorry for the bad news
[23:16] <AceBlade258> fellayaboy: MFGR?
[23:16] <\42\drinking\r\u> but the really good news is that you found out before its totally gone
[23:17] <viddy> AceBlade258: for transferring stuff, its faster on all accounts, adb pull/push, i never looked back at MTP even once
[23:17] <fellayaboy> well what i did was shrink my harddrive using gparted and insalled windows 8...grub wouldnt recognize it and then i used gparted to increase the size again to ext4
[23:17] <fellayaboy> i deleted windows 8 and increased my ext4 size
[23:18] <fellayaboy> thats when it started getting dumb on me ...i didnt want to reinstall uubntu to fix this problem so i came here..im guessing its just the fact i did all that partitioning
[23:18] <sysadmin_> anyone have managed to write data to BluRays succesfully with k3b ?
[23:20] <fellayaboy> apt-get told me theres no such package
[23:20] <fellayaboy> suggested packages are  gsmartcontrol smart-notifier
[23:21] <AceBlade258> how do i add adb to my sources?
[23:21] <AceBlade258> I spent too much time learning windows
[23:21] <brainard52_> I'm still having problems with my audio. I've gotten the login-screen sound to go off, but nothing else is working,.
[23:22] <AceBlade258> as versed as i am in win, i have trouble switching to linux
[23:22] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol
[23:22] <\42\drinking\r\u> what's the issue AceBlade258
[23:22] <\42\drinking\r\u> oh
[23:23] <\42\drinking\r\u> adb sources?
[23:23] <fellayaboy> its not that hard to learn once u get some tutorials
[23:23] <\42\drinking\r\u> computer -> properties -> env variables
[23:23] <\42\drinking\r\u> $PATH
[23:23] <\42\drinking\r\u> its the same in most os's
[23:23] <\42\drinking\r\u> just got to know where the env variables are
[23:23] <fellayaboy> its waaaaaay better than windows and worth the switch u just have to find a good solid tutorial series or book that will chop down the basics
[23:25] <Catbuntu> Hi
[23:25] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52_ i didnt forget you
[23:25] <\42\drinking\r\u> details please?
[23:26] <\42\drinking\r\u> hai Catbuntu
[23:26] <\42\drinking\r\u> !hi
[23:26] <brainard52_> OS: Ubuntu 12.04. udio was working last night.
[23:26] <brainard52_> OS: Ubuntu 12.04. Audio was working last night.
[23:26] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52_ understood
[23:26] <brainard52_> Crap. I'm used to skype's edit function.
[23:27] <\42\drinking\r\u> first, please check the cables
[23:27] <\42\drinking\r\u> unplug and plug them all in securely.
[23:27] <\42\drinking\r\u> !audio
[23:27] <brainard52_> Thanks. I've already tried messing with ALSAMixer a bit, by the way.
[23:27] <AceBlade2581> protip: dunt unplug your computer with your foot while it's on
[23:27] <\42\drinking\r\u> k
[23:28] <AceBlade2581> *don't
[23:28] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol AceBlade2581, i do that too much :P
[23:28] <\42\drinking\r\u> cable management ftw
[23:28] <AceBlade2581> Ah, so thats the trick
[23:28] <usr13> brainard52_: Did you find out anything from alsamixer?
[23:28] <\42\drinking\r\u> anyway brainard52_ in alsamixer, those M's? highlighted M means on
[23:28] <brainard52_> One sec, I've got a screenie for you.
[23:29] <\42\drinking\r\u> ok
[23:29] <brainard52_> http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6512/alsap.png
[23:29] <brainard52_> Here's what I have.
[23:29] <usr13> brainard52_: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[23:29] <\42\drinking\r\u> ah you have the OO instead of M
[23:29] <usr13> brainard52_: or aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[23:29] <usr13> brainard52_: Test and see what happens.  Tell us if you see errors.
[23:29] <\42\drinking\r\u> (what usr13 said)
[23:30] <\42\drinking\r\u> also brainard52_, not that you may care, but your name is showing in the pic
[23:31] <usr13> brainard52_: and/or, tell us if you hear sounds.
[23:31] <AceBlade2581> erm, sorry to be a broken record, but how do I add the android platform tools to my sources?
[23:31] <brainard52_> Meh, that's fine. As long as my social is nowhere. I'm sure that if you were malicious, you might be able to do some damage, but I don't really care.
[23:31] <brainard52_> No sounds, by the way :/
[23:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> yeah that's fine
[23:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> do you have beep installed?
[23:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> (can do system bell)
[23:31] <usr13> brainard52_: What do you see in the terminal window?  (Is it playing or giving errors?)
[23:32] <brainard52_> what's the paste command?
[23:32] <usr13> brainard52_: pastebinit?
[23:32] <brainard52_> That's it. Thanks.
[23:33] <\42\drinking\r\u> AceBlade2581 in windows?
[23:33] <\42\drinking\r\u> join me in #flood for a bit please AceBlade2581
[23:33] <AceBlade2581> \42\drinking\r\u:in ubuntu
[23:35] <brainard52_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380781/ Here's the output of the aplay command.
[23:37] <brainard52_> You're trying to put adb/fastboot into your paths?
[23:37] <AceBlade2581> brainard52_: yeah
[23:37] <usr13> brainard52_: It's playing the files.  Plug in speakers, (or plug into different port).  Plug in power cord to speakers, (or get power supply that works).  Trun volume up, (on speakers etc.).  .....
[23:37] <brainard52_> While in your home folder in Nautilus, press CTRL+H and find /bashrc.
[23:38] <brainard52_> oops, sorry. .bashrc
[23:38] <brainard52_> That's the thing, my onboard speakers aren't working :/
[23:38] <AceBlade2581> opened
[23:38] <brainard52_> study how it's formatted and then put the exact path to your adb/fastboot binaries into the file.
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52_ yeah
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> gave him that ^^;
[23:39] <brainard52_> Ah, that works.
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> so he can make it system wide if needed, and so he has the full deal on env variables
[23:39] <usr13> brainard52_: FYI:  F5 in alsamixer shows all ports
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> includes the bash
[23:39] <\42\drinking\r\u> the users bash is .bashrc vs /etc/bash.bashrc for default for all users @ brainard52_ / AceBlade2581
[23:40] <usr13> brainard52_: sudo apt-get install sox
[23:41] <usr13> brainard52_: What works?  What did you do?
[23:41] <timbishjr> *Farts
[23:41] <brainard52_> ^Mature -.-
[23:41] <brainard52_> Anyway, what do you mean what works? Also, I was curious what sox was.
[23:41] <\42\drinking\r\u> @usr the link to env variables
[23:42] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol
[23:42] <usr13> brainard52_: ..--..
[23:43] <brainard52_> I said something dumb :/
[23:43] <\42\drinking\r\u> yes
[23:43] <kazagistar> I installed from a netinstall disk over ethernet cable, and now my system will not boot without my ethernet cable plugged in. I also cannot manage the ethernet connection from the nm-applet. help me use my wireless!
[23:43] <\42\drinking\r\u> rule 0: use google
[23:43] <\42\drinking\r\u> search terms "linux sox"
[23:43] <\42\drinking\r\u> first result: Mar 5, 2012 – Welcome to the home of SoX, the Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs. SoX is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS X, etc.) ...
[23:43] <usr13> !grub
[23:43] <usr13> kazagistar:   ^^^^^
[23:44] <\42\drinking\r\u> btw, if sp1 won't install, it requires windows to have the boot not grub
[23:44] <\42\drinking\r\u> stupid win7
[23:44] <kazagistar> usr13: what does grub have to do with it? I don't understand at all...
[23:44] <brainard52_> I was only stating that I was curious because I saw it in Alsamixer. I wasn't actually asking what it was.
[23:45] <\42\drinking\r\u> kazagistar i read your issue
[23:45] <\42\drinking\r\u> what do you mean doesn't boot?
[23:45] <usr13> kazagistar: Maybe you should explain your situation in more detail.  (I was under the impression that your system will not boot without ethernet cable plugged in.)
[23:45] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: it does, but it waits for like 5 min for a network connection, and then has no networking
[23:45] <\42\drinking\r\u> ahaha
[23:45] <kazagistar> so, sorry, I failed my explination
[23:46] <\42\drinking\r\u> so ipv4 fails, then ipv6, then wifi
[23:46] <\42\drinking\r\u> or something
[23:46] <usr13> brainard52_: Is you sound working now?
[23:46] <blackshirt> 5 min ??? Its too long ....so scaried
[23:46] <\42\drinking\r\u> !wifi
[23:46] <kazagistar> I think it is using eth0 as some kind of hardcoded route, and demanding that it load before loading the networking system
[23:47] <brainard52_> Anyway, usr13,  I seriously haven't messed with configs on my computer since I first installed 12.04. I'll reboot to see if installing beep and sox did anything.
[23:47] <billkd> The Purple 8 Ball says:  It's possible
[23:47] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol billkd
[23:47] <kazagistar> due to the fact that I installed it using the text installer, and just had it detect the route... I really dont know
[23:47] <MrTorque> hey. how do I set a nameserver (in /etc/resolv.conf) at first position?
[23:47] <aliencrew> j hacker.it
[23:47] <\42\drinking\r\u> MrTorque you must do through netowrk manager not the file
[23:48] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol aliencrew
[23:48] <aliencrew> :D
[23:48] <aliencrew> lol
[23:48] <aliencrew> hi
[23:48] <\42\drinking\r\u> hai
[23:48] <billkd> Um, just add to the top of /etc/resolv.conf in the syntax described in the file... I think anyway.
[23:48] <MrTorque> i want to add a local ip as ns but it is sorted at the end and hence not considered in name resolving
[23:48] <AceBlade2581> i cant figure it out.
[23:48] <\42\drinking\r\u> billkd yes, but it will be overwritten by the network manager
[23:48] <MrTorque> \42\drinking\r\u: how do i do in console?
[23:48] <AceBlade2581> i think im too tired, but i really want to get this build started.
[23:48] <\42\drinking\r\u> it can also go into the /etc/network/interfaces file, but that will also be overwritten in desktop enviornment
[23:48] <kazagistar> as long as I DO have an ethernet cable plugged in, my wireless works fine, everything works fine, but otherwise, it fails to load any networking at all... it is so stupid
[23:48] <\42\drinking\r\u> kazagistar
[23:48] <billkd> perhaps he's using CLI only.
[23:49] <\42\drinking\r\u> then plugin ethernet, then boot, then disable ethernet
[23:49] <\42\drinking\r\u> reboot and report back
[23:49] <usr13> kazagistar: Does it hang during boot?
[23:49] <\42\drinking\r\u> literally disable the interface
[23:49] <billkd> in that case, it's just vim /etc/resolv.conf or nano /etc/resolv.conf or whatever, then edit and :wq or ^x y <return>
[23:49] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: how exactly do i disable it?
[23:49] <\42\drinking\r\u> billkd it will be overwritten unless its server
[23:50] <\42\drinking\r\u> kaz i dont run the same gui as you, no clue
[23:50] <\42\drinking\r\u> i would start by getting rid of gnome's ugly unity face
[23:50] <brainard52> Reboot didn't do anything. It's realy weird to me, though. The sound that is set to play when the login screen shows plays.
[23:50] <\42\drinking\r\u> go to xfce or something :P
[23:50] <adknight87> Dr_willis: I'm getting a error trying to add a quicklist in myunity [45] File or directory does not exist. MQuicklist.?.0
[23:50] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: network manager does not display the connection at all, that is my problem
[23:50] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52 in terminal will beep beep?
[23:51] <\42\drinking\r\u> thats bad...
[23:51] <brainard52> nope.
[23:51] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52 did the sound work before?
[23:51] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: but ifconfig shows it fine
[23:51] <\42\drinking\r\u> kazagistar, add another user to the box
[23:51] <\42\drinking\r\u> give that user all powers
[23:51] <\42\drinking\r\u> see if its also unable to see it
[23:51] <billkd> The Purple Fullcrap Ball says:  dont sent any message any more stupit n idiot
[23:53] <Guest70745> huh?
[23:53] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: um, the box is this one, but I am pretty sure it wont work, because I think my problem is this: http://pastebin.com/h7vCtJSB
[23:53] <\42\drinking\r\u> what's wrong with that?
[23:53] <kazagistar> that it has eth0 coded into it? dunno
[23:53] <Guest70745> If you're in trouble he will save the day
[23:53] <Guest70745> He's brave and he's fearless come what may
[23:54] <Guest70745> Without him the mission would go astray
[23:54] <\42\drinking\r\u> shush Guest70745
[23:54] <Guest70745>  
[23:54] <Guest70745> He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
[23:54] <Guest70745> Without him life would be much grimmer
[23:54] <Guest70745> He's handsome, trim and no-one slimmer
[23:54] <gordonjcp> !ops Guest70745
[23:54] <Guest70745> He will never need a Zimmer
[23:54] <\42\drinking\r\u> yes we love red dwarf too, but your spamming sir
[23:54] <gordonjcp> !ops | Guest70745
[23:54] <Guest70745>  
[23:54] <Guest70745> Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
[23:54] <Guest70745> More reliable than a garden trimmer
[23:54] <Guest70745> He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
[23:54] <bkerensa> Guest70745: Please stop
[23:54] <\42\drinking\r\u> tx Pricey
[23:55] <brainard52> lul.
[23:55] <bkerensa> !guidelines > Guest70745
[23:55] <kazagistar> \42\drinking\r\u: I am currently connected over wireless, network manager does not use the interfaces file I think...
[23:55] <brainard52> Anyway, "beep" does not beep.
[23:55] <\42\drinking\r\u> did sound work before brainard52?
[23:55] <usr13> brainard52: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav 2>&1 |pastebinit
[23:55] <brainard52> Yup. Last night I was watching Anime.
[23:56] <\42\drinking\r\u> did you change the bios since then?
[23:56] <\42\drinking\r\u> perhaps the default codec?
[23:56] <dark59linter> might be the codecs
[23:56] <brainard52> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380805/
[23:56] <\42\drinking\r\u> if you went in the bios i found something before, where it hates some codecs but not others
[23:56] <\42\drinking\r\u> it should show in dmesg but i forget the exact error
[23:57] <\42\drinking\r\u> if every other setting is the same, device chosen, etc, cables not moved, then that seems likely. like i said, i've fallen prey to this one as well.
[23:57] <brainard52> Last night, I used a command to look at my BIOS' information. I doubt that would change anything.
[23:57] <usr13> brainard52_: AGAIN:  It's playing the files.  Plug in speakers, (or plug into different port).  Plug in power cord to speakers, (or get power supply that works).  Trun volume up, (on speakers etc.). Find some speakers that really work. .....
[23:58] <brainard52> I've already said that my speakers really do work. It plays a sound when I get to the login screen.
[23:58] <\42\drinking\r\u> usr13 its the onboards having issues
[23:58] <\42\drinking\r\u> no ports to plug if i understand it
[23:58] <brainard52> The login sound plays through my headphones and my speakers.
[23:59] <dark59linter> brainard52 what are you using ? Alsa Or Pulseaudio?
[23:59] <brainard52> Whatever is default for Ubuntu 12.04
[23:59] <dark59linter> i think i know what this might be
[23:59] <usr13> brainard52: so when you play  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*  you can hear all the audio files playing through the speakers?  I thought you were having an audion problem.  I guess I have no idea what we were working on here.
[23:59] <usr13> *audio*  not audion
[23:59] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol
