[00:00] When I do those commands (beep, play, aplay, etc) there is no sound played. [00:00] <\42\drinking\r\u> +1 for common sense [00:00] <\42\drinking\r\u> brainard52 does have brain, i can tell usr13 :)) [00:00] Quick question fellas. Can Ubuntu 12.10 (x86) access more than 4GB ram? [00:00] <\42\drinking\r\u> konbon yes [00:00] Is there a limit? [00:00] <\42\drinking\r\u> it will automatically install a pae kernel [00:00] Oh great [00:00] Thanks :) [00:01] brainard52: So when you issue command "play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*" , you do NOT hear any sounds? [00:01] I will confirm that what you say is correct. [00:01] I need to create icon in unity launchbar, and change icons' sizes from console. Anyone knows how to do that? [00:01] brainard52 see if pulseaudio is installed ? [00:01] brainard52: And that is the issue that you are trying to solve? [00:02] @dark59linter, yes. @usr13, yes. === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [00:02] gday fellas [00:02] brainard52: uninstall pulseaudio I guess. I don't think that's it but won't hurt to find out. [00:03] have you tried using alsa for your linux box ? if so you can install it and see if that works [00:03] usr13 is right [00:03] after try to install alsa [00:03] dark59linter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380805/ (From brainard52 ) [00:03] dark59linter: You already have alsa [00:04] Why would pulseaudio be installed if it's not even default? [00:04] <\42\drinking\r\u> lol [00:04] I'm so confused. I don't remember even installing it as a dep. [00:04] <\42\drinking\r\u> pulse wraps alsa or some shit these days [00:04] <\42\drinking\r\u> pulse is what ubu went to several yrs ago [00:05] <\42\drinking\r\u> kinda not an awesome choice if you ask me, but that's what we have [00:05] yes i already do [00:05] So why am I screwing with alsa if pulse is default?? [00:05] <\42\drinking\r\u> so alsa is in there, but pulse is being used [00:05] <\42\drinking\r\u> alsa lets us do things to sound directly\ [00:05] <\42\drinking\r\u> pulse abstracts that and takes it away from you [00:06] brainard52: did you uninstall pulseaudio? [00:06] i dont like pulseaudio just for certian reasons thats why i prefer alsa [00:06] <\42\drinking\r\u> dark59linter heh i dont disagree.. [00:06] <\42\drinking\r\u> remember when pulse was new and it was filling up ppls hdd's of logs? [00:06] <\42\drinking\r\u> happend to me [00:07] <\42\drinking\r\u> so mad.. === anonymous is now known as Guest53576 [00:07] brainard52: Did you uninstall pulseaudio? [00:07] and bugs up the whole OS,Pulseaudio needs some work so im with you on that one \42\drinking\r\r [00:07] Not yet. I'm still a bit lost. 42 says that pulse is default, you say uninstall it, and dark has just been confusing me even more. [00:07] *\u [00:08] hi [00:08] brainard52: just uninstall pulseaudio [00:08] Alright [00:08] brainard52: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio #And see if it solves your problem. [00:09] brainard52 listen to usr13 and remove pulseaudio in terminal: sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio [00:09] brainard52: I doubt that it will solve anything, but one thing is for sure; If you don't do anything, you won't fix anything. [00:09] Executing the command. [00:09] I don't want to go down three different paths either, because that will only mess it up worse. [00:09] and if this dosnt resolve anything try to install Alsa in terminal by typing : sudo apt-get install alsa [00:10] brb. [00:10] brainard52: I gave you one thing to do. [00:10] and i gave you the second thing after usr13 [00:12] dark59linter: What second thing? [00:12] to install alsa if that didnt work [00:13] had the same problem but resolved it installing alsa [00:13] dark59linter: ..--.. [00:13] Well, I have sound now, but no speaker icon in my notification bar. [00:13] I am trying to create a live 12.10 ubuntu usb-stick from another linux dist . can you give me a link to guide me? [00:13] brainard52: Very good. [00:14] diex use startup disk creator inside your distro [00:14] btw dark59linter, alsa is installed by default. (I think you are refering to maybe installing a newer version or...??) [00:15] usr13 sorry mine came with pulseaudio bc im on a diffrent distro [00:15] hi guys [00:15] i edited my sshd_config file [00:15] dark59linter: o [00:15] to listen for ssh on port 2222 [00:15] my bad usr13 [00:15] and on ip 192.168.1.25 [00:15] dark59linter: NP... just FYI [00:16] and now when i reboot the ssh server wont come up unless i start it manually [00:16] any reason why it might happen? === nightf0x_ is now known as nightf0x [00:16] dark59linter: many thanks. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent what about method 3, is it worth to try? [00:16] thanks for the tip ill be sure to keep that in mind iv just used ubuntu for a while and switched to so many distros over the years lol [00:16] dysun: That is interesting. You might try dpkg --reconfigure openssh-server [00:17] Like I said though, I don't have the volume manager in this thing. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6664/asdfvy.png [00:17] usr13: ok i'll try that [00:17] Man, it's one problem after another. I'll be patient though :| [00:17] diex are your talking about UNetBootin? [00:17] dysun: dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server [00:18] if so you can also create alot of live distros with this [00:18] brainard52: Whasamatter? [00:18] http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6664/asdfvy.png No volume manager icon. [00:18] its not installed by default on some OS's so to install type : sudo apt-get install unetbootin [00:18] I have a distinct feeling that it's because I uninstalled Pulse. === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [00:19] brainard52: that would be correct [00:19] brainard52: That is probably because it was part of pulseaudio. Just use a different mixer. [00:20] Any recommendations? [00:21] synaptic and search for mixer === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [00:21] 'sudo synaptic' === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [00:21] brainard52: alsamixergui [00:21] dark59linter: no I tried Unetbootin. When I boot from usb I only get a smily at the left upper side [00:22] diex i would do it with startup disk creator if your using a Live of ubuntu 12.10 [00:22] dark59linter: I am using archlinux [00:22] diex, did you select the live version from the list in unetbootin? or did you download the iso yourself? [00:23] dark59linter: I downloaded the is by myself [00:23] try again, this time selecting it from the list === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [00:23] now distos such as Zorin and any others i recommend unetbootin and listen to ok_wait that way we know if you selected the iso yourself [00:24] dark59linter: unetbootin is crap...it overwrites syslinux [00:24] and causes boot issues [00:24] Alright, well. alsamixergui is installed. Thanks. [00:25] diex, make sure to format the partition you're selecting as well [00:25] also format it to fat32 [00:25] dark59linter, why fat? [00:26] ok_wait: do you mean I should reformat it? [00:26] diex: you can't use unetbootin with arch [00:26] yes [00:26] well if he is using the newest version then it will show up as fat. the older versions shouldnt matter [00:26] it doesn't work you have to use one of the others...read the wiki [00:26] fat32, thats bad [00:26] oh [00:26] and fat32 is aweful [00:26] ext2 should do fine [00:27] any one know if theres a good IRC channel where people hang out and talk about ubuntu on chromebooks? [00:27] kvothetech: I see , I am begging for a link which will guide me [00:27] older versions let USB's in UnetBootin have a NTFS Format and so many but newer versions took it out. [00:28] diex: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media [00:28] HaiKaiDo: I dono, but how do you like your chromebook? [00:28] it explicitely says do ot use unetbootin [00:29] kvothetech depends ? the reason i say fat32 is because some people have trouble with Unetbootin [00:29] well i just got a cr-48 (the original one) today from a buddy of mine [00:29] HaiKaiDo: (Probably should be discussed on #ubuntu-offtopic ) [00:29] I've got an older Ubuntu installed on another partition (/dev/sda5) and want to boot it inside a VM. I'm trying VirtualBox but it seems to insist on creating a disk image to boot from. Would another emulator work better for this? [00:29] kk [00:29] I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 for my main OS, btw. [00:30] dark59linter: because unetbootin overwrites stuff it shouldn't [00:30] kvothetech: exactly, i prefer the older version's of unetbootin [00:30] hey [00:30] how do i run VNC that is supposedly already installed [00:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> ccc [00:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> in your menu it should be something like 'video lan player' [00:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> so you should be able to type 'player' [00:31] should already be in your menu [00:31] vln i mean [00:31] <\42\drinking\r\u> for terminal, you can just issue 'vlc' === _weldan is now known as weldan [00:32] for remote desktop [00:32] kvothetech: I did not read the unetbootin on this particular page since it is written under on windows section, when tou told me it made sense a bit [00:32] <\42\drinking\r\u> vln? [00:32] ya [00:32] blargg: whatever you're booting into in a VM has to be bootable. I would imagine there are "how to run another partition in vbox" type posts on the web, but that wouldn't be supported here [00:32] hey why running this command ? grep --exclude-dir=static/* -ir "completed" . its still not excluding STATIC dir ? [00:32] vnc [00:32] <\42\drinking\r\u> 12.x worked badly for me [00:32] lol [00:32] VNC [00:32] <\42\drinking\r\u> i would use rdesktop directly for rdp [00:32] <\42\drinking\r\u> yeah lol [00:32] /join #php [00:32] oops [00:32] <\42\drinking\r\u> srry bout that one [00:32] sorry.

[00:40] well not really [00:40] i got one for free today from a buddy of mine [00:41] Hows it run? [00:41] and i didnt even ask what it had one it [00:41] he had 11.04 running [00:41] runs quite well === lost is now known as Guest61166 [00:41] but I was curious, after reading about installing ubuntu theres alot of inital steps [00:41] i cant stand how they just switched gnome with unity [00:41] ^ [00:41] and i didnt know if there anything required to wipe the install [00:42] and upgrade to 12.04 [00:42] other than just the normal wiping partitions and reinstalling [00:42] dark59linter: gnome 2 is discontinued and gnome 3 wasn't really that great [00:42] well [00:42] eventually when i get 12.04 installed [00:42] im gonna install cinnamon [00:42] xD [00:43] gordonjcp i just hate it slowed down the whole OS [00:43] <__-> cant find cinnamon with apt-cache [00:43] <__-> what is it? [00:43] and iv got cinnamon on one of my disks [00:44] its great [00:44] yep [00:44] i also enjoy the Pinguy OS [00:44] * IThess523 isn't trolling, but wonders how do you guys feel about Unity vs Cinnamon? [00:45] i like cinnamon much better than unity [00:45] its like gnome 2 [00:45] i cant stand unity it was the worse thing for ubuntu to even do [00:45] !ot | IThess523 HaiKaiDo [00:45] IThess523 HaiKaiDo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Now whenever, I click on Browse Network in Nautilus, I get a timeout error. If I 20 seconds or so and try again it works. Anyone have solution? [00:48] @Giddeon have you set your dns servers to openDNS (or an equiv?) [00:49] @user no I haven't [00:49] hi, I'm installing a Linux Ubuntu VM and I ran into this while installing VM Tools.

I did. [00:55] have you downloaded the main package from VM website ? [00:55] for USB support ? [00:55] dark59linter: main and extention. [00:56] which one did you download ? === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [00:57] dark59linter: from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html - virtualbox-4.2_4.2.4-81684~Ubuntu~quantal_i386.deb and Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack [00:58] Hi, I just bought a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard because it provides a typing experience close to my Dell XPS' laptop keyboard. The problem I'm having is that it has some Win8 specific keys and I'm having problems fixing this... Any advices? [00:58] eindoofus: How are you installing it? === iheartlearn is now known as estebahn [00:59] through the terminal. I extracted it and did the ./vmware-install.pl [00:59] I first mounted the vm tools through vmware workstation [00:59] eindoofus: Why not apt? [01:00] eindoofus: sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools ? [01:00] when I tried the apt on a different distro it didn't seem to do anything. It didn't fix my resolution or any of that [01:01] dark59linter: I don't need to re-login after adding group, right? [01:02] eindoofus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools [01:02] thanks [01:03] NP [01:05] hmmm [01:05] mike_papa: Yes you do. [01:06] usrl3: that may be a problem...

[01:08] It seems no one has any suggestion to my earlier question... So I'm going to ask something else: What keyboard are you using? [01:09] Has anyone else had an issue like this.. I created a .desktop file and added it to dash using xdg-desktop-menu, and it shows up in dash and works and everything, but it has no name when it appears in dash (just an icon) and I only know it is my application because i searched for it. my .desktop file has a Name and Comment attribute set.. [01:09] how do i get to Ubuntu firewall settings? [01:11] ccc_: check out this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall ? [01:11] iptables [01:12] or firestarter for clicky clicky thing [01:13] newbie q: I'm unable to create files in /etc/apache2 ... I get permission errors when I try to create a new file in that directory (I'm on aws) [01:13] SunMoonStar: you shouldn't need to do anything special for it to show up in the dash, just drop the .desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications/ (or /usr/share/applications/) [01:13] hypergrove: are you root? [01:14] trism: what xdg does is it does that.. in my case it put it automatically in ~/.local/share/applications and I see that it's there.. [01:14] hypergrove, possibly don't have permission to do that. ls -alF to check file owner and mod [01:15] SunMoonStar: can you pastebin the file that's there? [01:16] trism: http://pastebin.com/s2Z0GkBr [01:16] Hello [01:17] Can anyone of you explain what is " group your tabs " stand for ... it is delete things? [01:17] edoedo: what program?

[01:20] SunMoonStar: though, I don't see DisplayName in any of my .desktop files [01:20] i'd LIKE to be part of the root group while I'm configuring the server. [01:20] * Evil_Eric waves in trism general direction [01:21] SunMoonStar: though I don't see why it should matter, it should ignore any entries it doesn't recognize [01:21] trism: I tried it without it though, wasn't the cause of the problem. It was added by some 'Main Menu' program that I downloaded from repos that is for .desktop files [01:21] hypergrove, $ sudo -s to get root access, enter password. [01:21] gordonjcp: tx for your comment - I don't see how sudo relates to copying files using winscp to the server [01:22] hypergrove, chmod to change file permission, chown to change owner [01:22] hypergrove: oh, you're copying them remotely? === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [01:22] yes sir, tx [01:22] hypergrove: I'd copy them to my homedir then ssh in and move them [01:22] chmod {permission} {path}{files} [01:22] edoedo: history -c [01:23] chown {owner}{group} {path}{files} [01:23] SunMoonStar: have you relogged between adding the file? maybe it is somehow inconsistent [01:23] edoedo: or check ~/.bash_history === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [01:23] trism: not yet maybe that's it. I should really have asked that before coming here with the problem but I hate logging off lol [01:23] gordon & weldan: ok i'll do that thank you. [01:23] chown -R to change owner for all files and folder in that folder recursively [01:23] alright. [01:23] trism tried that* I mean [01:24] SunMoonStar: understandable, I don't know that it will help but the desktop file looks fine so I'm not sure what else it would be [01:24] trism: thanks anyway :) === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [01:36] Does anybody know how to run XChat Gnome through TOR?

It's been happening since.... 11.04 I think. A completely new installation doesn't help anything, so I think it might be hardware, but I've got to check just to be sure.

[04:35] brainard52, what has [04:37] Whenever I'm in a virtual console, text periodically lays over whatever I'm doing. If I'm in bash, it inserts onto the next open space, and if I'm in VI or something, it just lays over starting at the tp. A redraw will make the text go away, but it still keeps coming.

[04:38] brainard52, and that text says what [04:38] How would I copy text while in a virtual console? [04:39] I'll get the text, but it would be more efficient if I didn't have to write it down. [04:39] I thought that /usr/local/* is for stuff that is installed but not sure [04:39] brainard52, then check dmesg [04:39] bobweaver, problem is that their documentation sucks, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. "Please add the library files to your distribution libraries in case of malfunction." is all I have to go on... [04:39] like sandboxed ? [04:40] brainard52, saying there is text is about as helpful as saying "there is this window that keeps popping up" [04:40] distro libs are in /usr/lib/ BUT you can use other places and also *link BINARY files* "man ln " [04:40] Sorry, I know that. [04:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381185/ There you go. Like I said, I assume it's got something to do with my HDD, but I'm not going to say I know for sure.

I'm trying to diagnose why this userdata/boot isn't working... the error message is useless [04:46] brainard52, you should only see that when the device connected [04:46] connects [04:46] That's really weird. I get it regularily. [04:47] sdb... I don't even have anything connected to sdb. [04:47] well, nothing IS sdb at the moment. [04:48] I've got my phone plugged in... Should I turn off debugging?

[05:19] who can help me with quassel === tyler is now known as Guest28799 [05:25] Will someone please help me get my wireless card working? (Broadcom) [05:26] rndis or something similar i guess [05:26] what should I do about this error? error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.6.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or dire [05:27] for non supported wireless card. otherwise find drivers if any [05:27] Thanks.

[05:30] wats the procedure to download wine for ubuneu 12.04 [05:30] Guest, usually you would connect through ethernet and it will tell you that you've got proprietary drivers that need to be installed. It's pretty simple, you've just got to know how to take the first step. [05:31] where i can get more about how to use Ubuntu?

[05:43] Heather_: depends on if you're ding it as www-data [05:43] How would you suggest blocking dmesg from virtual consoles? I would prefer to just redirect them all to a specific Virtual Console, but I'm not sure if that can be done currently. [05:46] Im in 12.10, and I would like to have .deb "open" set to synaptic instead of the ubuntu software center. Where do I change that? [05:48] question: if I create a folder through mkdir in a folder that is owned by www-data does the subfolders owner also become www-data automaticly? [05:48] I'd just use synaptic to install gdebi, and it will default to that. === sgerbino is now known as p1und3r [05:50] Hello world! I am having a problem on installing "Bengali-Omega" package in my Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have downloaded the .zip file but don't know what to do next.Can any of you guys help me installing the package?

[05:59] @milamber, yes and I don't know how to install latex packages in Ubuntu [06:01] where are TeX packages kept in Ubuntu? [06:01] Heather_: it depends on what you are hosting. for people to visit the site you just need 80. if external people need access to the box you can enable ssh, but usually 3306 is closed by default === albert is now known as Guest2298 [06:02] kutu: my knowledge of all things tex is very limited. i won't be able to help you === Guest2298 is now known as Phryq [06:03] just visist and upload files so I guess its suffiecent with 80 only? So I need to allow 3306 aswell then?

[06:23] elisa871: see lines 92 - 95 of your pastebin [06:24] kinnu: trying to run visual c in ubuntu is a bad idea. if you need it use a virtualbox like worm said [06:24] kk [06:25] kinnu: what is the end goal if you don't mind my asking? do you need to compile c programs? or do you need to do something specific with visual?

[07:07] tonyyarusso, thanks :D [07:08] allegedly, because it was becoming to difficult to maintain the two different versions of the desktop. [07:09] pfft [07:09] I can't run normal Unity on my netbook [07:09] :| [07:09] they figured that anyone really depending on the 2d version of unity, moved on to XFCE, or LXDE [07:09] or found gnome2 again [07:09] arkiver: alternatively, you can toss +short into the arguments to get a more compact output [07:10] I have the same problem (I own 3 netbooks) I just run XFCE on all 3 of them [07:10] Unity 2d was perfect for netbooks [07:11] I still run 12.04 LTS (Which I *THINK* has 2d in it... but I just ignore it lol) [07:11] they used to have a Netbook remix that I loved... and they dropped [07:13] Like I said, unity2d was great for netbooks [07:14] Wasn't Unity originally in the netbook remix? [07:14] Yes [07:14] The basic idea, at least [07:14] Then why the hell doesn't it work on netbooks anymore? [07:15] I imagine hardware acceleration or something [07:15] Netbooks have largely fallen to the wayside, too [07:15] It was a hot item for a few years [07:16] Netbooks are inexpensive and portable [07:17] They're like the best idea ever [07:17] Sure are, but they were also pretty underpowered, especially if you kept on the default Windows which most users did [07:17] Chromebook + Linux makes an awesome netbook [07:18] The Netbook remix was a deadend, at least to the extent that it doesn't allow for a more capable (and flashy) form of Unity. [07:18] flashy is stupid [07:18] function is more important than form [07:19] fully agree... [07:19] There isn't any reason one can't have both, though flashy is less the goal than "tastefully decorated." [07:20] And I agree that the functionality is the most important.

[07:26] I'm running ubuntu on a usb stick on a remote computer. When I reboot it, it prompts me to remove the usb stick before it restarts. How can I avoid this prompt so I can just issue reboot and not have it hang until I physically walk over to it and do it manually? [07:26] I guess I will have to come back later [07:28] nimbos: from the command line: sudo shutdown -r now [07:30] milamber, that will by-pass the prompt asking me to remove the usb? [07:30] nimbos: iirc [07:31] i do not want to walk out to the shed where the computer is... it's a freakin rain storm. [07:31] ;) [07:31] hi [07:31] folks [07:31] noob here .. ??

[07:34] i am not getting how to uninstal programmes .. [07:34] thank you tropper4145 [07:34] how much memory do you have sciotric?

[07:35] You might be running a UI that is too memory intense [07:35] 2gb* [07:35] try running unity 2d or using a different desktop [07:36] omg, didn't work :( gonna kill myself running out to the shed [07:41] Hello everyone :) [07:41] are hardware questions acceptable? [07:42] kgs1992, just ask... if someone knows, they'll answer [07:42] Last night my laptop wouldn't boot (and still doesn't). I described my problem on ##hardware. I have a small update to the problem & was wondering if that would help to narrow the problem down to a single part. [07:43] I tried with & without the battery with the power cable connected, but all I see when I press the power button is the light on the power button & the exhaust turning on. [07:43] Ruled out a display problem by connecting to an external diplay; nothing works [07:43] no sound either [07:43] I left the laptop without any power supply connected through the night (10 hours) & when I tried turning it on right now, it powered on & booted up to the Ubuntu loading screen & powered off midway & now doesn't turn on at all [07:43] hello [07:44] in the ubuntu 12.10 [07:44] If anyone has any idea as to what the faulty part might be, please highlight me; thank you :) [07:44] Dead battery [07:44] kgs1992: Run a memtest [07:44] Never mind, didn't read close enough [07:44] Not even possible [07:44] doesn;t boot at all [07:44] In ubuntu 12.10 has been incorporated some change to the mount to the drives, giving a user name to the mount in mount folder ? [07:44] just the power button lights up [07:45] kgs1992: Hm... ok... [07:45] kgs1992: Meh I dunno, ##hardware is seriously a better place for this [07:45] I wish know if is only my install [07:46] hello i have problem with openoffice.org :: i create an word one and after i finish my work with it i tried to convert it to .doc to read it by windows but i cant so i return back to ubuntu to open by chang it to . org i did not open ,,,,,,,why?? [07:46] Okay, thanks theadmin Just wanted to see if anyone has any idea [07:46] kgs1992, ya.. I agree with theadmin, anytime one of my systems does that... Its usually in the dumpster as quickly as I can, after pulling the HD === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:47] Okay, no laptop for a few months then :/ [07:48] another question. [07:48] anybody has noticed the new mount system about the usb's or external drives ? [07:48] gabrign, can't say I've noticed anything new. [07:48] kgs1992: you could try removing the cdrom, my laptop presented these symtoms once and taking out the cdrom fixed it. I had to tare the dam thing completlly apart before I figured that out [07:49] topper4125 I dont know if is only me: When I put a drive usb, the mount directory now is /mount/username/usb1 [07:49] before was /mount/usb1 [07:50] somebody more happen this ? [07:50] If I pull the home folder from my HDD & paste it into a different machine running the same version of Ubuntu after re-installing all my previous programs, will I be able to keep all my settings, logs, etc. for the programs I've installed? [07:50] kgs1992: really all you can do is change out components until you figure out what the problem is [07:51] kgs1992: probablly not [07:51] kgs1992, if the data isn't encrypted, it should be good to go from one system to the next... just be sure the ubuntu version is the same or newer [07:51] smitty: I'll try :) But I don't think this is going to fix easily :/ [07:52] topper4125: 32 to 64 bit shift will cause problems for data, right? [07:52] gabrign: Yeah, that's normal. I'm not sure what introduced that change. [07:52] you don't want to go backwards (12.10 back to 12.04 for example) if a config file has settings for 12.10, that wern't in 12.04 on a program you use, it could cause breakage. [07:52] theadmin ! Thanks thanks! I only need know if was only me [07:53] kgs1992, honestly don't know, but I wouldn't think it would for data, only binaries/executables [07:53] Okay, cool. I'll try my luck. === jack is now known as Guest67876 [07:53] Thanks a ton peeps :) [07:54] I guess for make the mounting between users more simple, or more obscure to others, for example: The admin mount some drive, but the rest of the users isn't necesary to know [07:54] hello i have problem with openoffice.org :: i create an word one and after i finish my work with it i tried to convert it to .doc to read it by windows but i cant so i return back to ubuntu to open by chang it to . org i did not open ,,,,,,,why?? [07:54] kgs1992, np and good luck... if all else fails.. if the 64 bit system has the room/ram, install a 32 bit ubuntu in VirtualBox? === jackiechan0 is now known as jackbrownhf [07:55] nah, not gonna do that. I'll just start over. :) [07:55] openoffice can read .doc files [07:55] What I need most is XChat logs [07:55] kgs1992, starting over would prolly be best... good luck [07:55] kgs1992, xchat logs will have *no* problem going from 32 to 64 [07:55] thanks :) [07:56] Why is ubuntu'ss volume control so sensitive the last "clicks" [07:57] cool then I guess I'll see if I can get the laptop running & if I can, i'll sell it & get a new one :) Until then, I'm gonna have to use Win 8 on my desktop :'( [07:57] :'( [07:57] kgs1992, sorry to hear about your desktop... 8... ouch [07:57] WINDOWS 8 IS PURE EVIL [07:58] I tried to install matlab scientific computing envoiroment, but while I was installing it, it asked me to locate the matlab folder. But I didnt have the folder. Despite that fact, there was no cancel operation, and now I have a ghost installation in progress without knowing how to kill it.. [07:58] kgs1992: I would sugest a duel boot but I woudn't want to screw with that without a working laptop :( [07:58] Will somebody give me advice on how to turn off dmesg output to Virtual Consoles? I'm learning VIM, and it get's really annoying when there's constantly output overlaying things. [07:58] if there is anything good about windows 8, its this: Steam came to Linux because of how un-impressed they were when they saw what M$ was doing with 8. [07:58] can someone help me? [07:59] +1 for linux steam! [08:00] Just realized.. There aren't going to be many wait-in-line games available for it for a while. [08:00] Techna_Rave_Pony , i know but i speak about from .org to be read by .doc , but any way now i have my .org file but i cant open it [08:01] TF2 will work for linux, I might have to start playing it [08:01] Yeah. I just looked at the list. Probably a third of them were released in Humble Bundles [08:01] how can I will an installation that is stuck in progress? [08:02] will=kill [08:02] This is my dad's desk & it had Ubuntu installed until he installed Win 8. But after Win 8 was installed (which I think he didn't do properly), I'm unable to see a boot menu. But I don't wanna mess around with this because there's a sh*tload of data on this & I can't afford to lose it. [08:02] I'm not much of a gamer at all (assault cube and solitaire are about it for me) but I'm really happy about the Steam thing... it'll make Linux in general better, and more accepted. [08:03] kgs1992: I'm sure it's some M$ trickery [08:03] lol [08:04] I thought Win 8 would be as bad as Vista before I used it. [08:04] Now I know it's worse [08:04] kgs, windows probably installed M$'s equivalent of GRUB.I've not touched Windows in /years/ so I wouldn't know. [08:04] dang [08:05] brainard52_: Probably. That's what I thought too. But as I said, I'm not messing around on this PC. [08:05] I had a friend who went to Frys to buy a new laptop after his last one died. All they had were windows 8 machines, he spent about 45 min there, when went to the apple store and got a mac book pro === brainard52_ is now known as brainard52 [08:06] the mac/win hour? [08:07] kgs1992, if you have a decent sized USB stick (8gig or better) you could install linux on a stick with a presistance partition on the USB, all work/changes/etc will happen on the stick only leaving the HardDrive safe [08:07] I'm still trying to figure out how to disable dmesg output to virtual consoles. It's bugging the crap out of me -.- [08:07] You could also run Ubuntu in a VM, using virtualbox [08:07] Oh yes, that sounds good. Will look into it. thanks topper4125 [08:08] VBox <3 [08:08] don't VMs cause problems? [08:09] hello [08:09] brainard52, try this link... looks promising for your question: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/108071-dmesg-output-all-ttys.html [08:09] Not really. You might run into Vbox-specific bugs from time to time, but Ubuntu works well with Vbox. [08:10] Thanks, I'll let you know. [08:11] dnewkirk: I've noticed that USB devices misbehave. I need my phone to connect via adb ( Android debugging Bridge ) :/ [08:13] kgs1992: That is true, usb unctionality can sufer at points. I haven't run ino issues in some time, but I don't have any idea regarind adb :( [08:14] topper4125: I'm getting "Permission Denied" I'm using sudo, too. [08:15] Hmm. I have a 32 GB USB stick, which I don't mind losing if it comes to that, so I'll try getting Ubuntu to run on that. If that doesn't cut it, then I guess I'll have to use a VMor live with Win 8 [08:17] When it comes down to it, Windows 8 is a little odd at first but it actually isn't bad once you get used to it. [08:18] Can't you just switch to a Win7-like GUI? [08:18] kgs1992, 32gb will be plenty big enough to hold you over till you get your system back up/replaced. [08:19] you'll loose a bit of preformance (USB speeds and what not, but its better than nothing) === cjae is now known as robotdevil [08:20] brainard52, I'm not finding anyother solutions except the one link I sent you.. not sure what the deal is with the permission denied.. never encountered that [08:21] Drivers don't work well (read as don't work at all) for my device on win 8 :/ Also, I'm very comfortable with Ubuntu now. Switchin to Win is going to be difficult. [08:21] topper4125: I can live with that :) [08:22] topper4125: Meh, I've got a thread on the ubuntu forums, hopefully I can get answers tomorrow. For now, I'll just use the terminal rather than a virtual console. [08:22] brainard52, k... hope you find the answer soon. [08:23] hi [08:23] Thankies. I'll figure something out. There's another quick fix that I could do, but I'm not sure if I want to. It's more reverseable than the first option. [08:24] I'm in the same boat kgs1992 is in... my son in law brought his laptop over the other day with a problem (win7) and I was totally lost on how to fix what should have been a simple fix... [08:25] here's the other option I have. I'm wary about doing this only because it might have information I need if I screw up more. http://askubuntu.com/questions/97256/how-do-i-disable-messages-or-logging-from-printing-on-the-console-virtual-termin [08:26] Woah, I just realized logcat is Android's equivalent of dmesg. [08:27] -n, --console-level level [08:27] Set the level at which logging of messages is done to the con‐ [08:27] sole. The level is a level number or abbreviation of the level [08:27] name. For all supported levels see dmesg --help output. [08:27] For example, -n 1 or -n alert prevents all messages, except [08:27] emergency (panic) messages, from appearing on the console. All [08:27] topper4125: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:27] try not to laugh. I was hunting for the minimize button on the top left of the screen for about 2 minutes when I started Windows up :D [08:27] brainard52: why do you want to use a virtual console vs a regular terminal? [08:27] you can set different levels of alertness... 1 to 8 [08:29] Using a virtual console leaves tty7 clean and it allows me to focus on whatever I'm doing because there aren't all these other things going on. [08:29] wasn't expecting that paste job to flood... didn't see all the hard coded CR's in it :( [08:29] Do you recommend any layer on top of GNU build toolset to make it easier? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:30] topper, I think you're supposed to use pastebinit. sudo apt-get install pastebinit [08:30] brainard52: if you are staying in tty then consider using tmux [08:30] *googles tmux* [08:31] brainard52: that's pretty hard core man [08:32] Well, I'm just learning VIM, and I don't want to be distracted :p [08:33] brainard52: did you try fullscreen mode on a terminal? [08:33] I'm guessing that would make more keystrokes if I did decide I wanted to look at reference material. One sec, I'll try it out. BTW, tmux looks intriguing. [08:34] Yeah, FS on a terminal won't cut it :/ [08:34] brainard52: i think it's just F11 from a terminal [08:34] brainard52: tmux is a must-have on tty if you want to be able to use more than one terminal [08:35] !info tmux [08:35] tmux (source: tmux): terminal multiplexer. In component main, is optional. Version 1.6-2 (quantal), package size 216 kB, installed size 485 kB [08:35] brainard52: you could use a full screen terminal with workspaces for an extra good time [08:35] Alrighty. Will dmesg output to tmux consoles? [08:36] brainard52: i don't see why not [08:37] You see, I'm having a problem where dmesg things are appearing in my tty1-6, so it's getting in the way of things like VIM. [08:37] im being retarded and cant seem to find / and or install diffutils / binutils . i do sudo apt-get install diffutils and it says its already installed. i try to run it from the terminal and it says command not fond : / [08:38] KidBeta, install synaptic package manager, and find it from there. [08:38] thanks [08:38] Yeah, It should help a bit. [08:39] I'll never understand why they stopped shipping synaptic with the ubuntu distro... [08:39] I need help resolving a repository issue. Been experimenting with video-stabilizing recently, and therefor tried the suggestion here under "1. Install up-to-date FFmpeg": http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/214-ubuntu-stabilize-video-melt [08:39] It didn't work, but it messed up my repository. Now I can't install ffmpeg nor kdenlive nor mplayer nor mencoder etc etc. I get error message like this: ffmpeg: Depends: libpostproc51 (< 4:0.5.9-99) but 6:0.7.13-0ubuntu0jon1~lucid1 is to be installed or libpostproc-extra-51 (< 4:0.5.9-99) [08:40] both are installed according to the package manager :/ [08:40] Can anyone help me fix this? So far I've deleted the repository again, and tried typing sudo aptitude update, but that's obviously not enough. [08:40] ok all.. this is odd.. I have here my laptop, which has ubuntu 12.04.1 32-bit on it, and I've changed out the RAM, so I put 12.10 64-bit onto a flashdrive.. when I opened the installer in 12.10 it's giving me the option to upgrade the existing system.. is it safe/wise/possible to jump architectures like that? [08:40] KidBeta, reinstall them? [08:41] or have I founf some kind of bug? [08:41] It may be a bug. See if there's anything in the Ubuntu changelogs. [08:43] Wow, I'm not awake. Not changelogs... Bah, I'm going to stop talking. [08:43] Question; If I plug in my laptop's HDD as a slave on my desk, will I be able to boot into the OS installed on that HDD? [08:43] gartral: no, you can't upgrade a 32bit install to 64bit [08:43] Hi, im trying to understand the output of mount command. can anyone please explain this output? [08:43] #linu [08:43] libsqlfs_mount on /opt/var/kdb/db type fuse.libsqlfs_mount (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other) [08:43] gartral, http://askubuntu.com/questions/81824/how-can-i-switch-a-32-bit-installation-to-a-64-bit-one [08:44] kgs1992, should be able to if the BIOS on the desktop allows it. [08:44] I can understand that libsqlfs_mount is mounted on "/opt/var/kdb/db" and its type is fuse.libsqlfs_mount [08:44] And its Read write mount, but what does these below means? [08:44] It won't affect the master HDD on the PC, right? [08:44] nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other [08:45] auronandace topper4125 i'm not asking if I can, i was more stating the Ubuntu Installer seems to think I can. [08:45] kgs1992, I don't think it will, it may appear as a mounted device... [08:45] cool :) I will give it a try [08:46] brainard52 still a no go :( [08:46] gartral... ahh.. .k gotcha. Unless you click "upgrade" and moments later (After it does some checking and noticed THEN that its a 32 bit system... then ya... its a bug [08:47] Hi All [08:47] dd if of -- iso to pendrive [08:47] but its persistant [08:47] can i unpersistant it?? [08:47] topper4125: and.. it *IS* possible to "archjump". it;s just very hard and pretty much require rebuilding the entire OS piece by piece. [08:48] KidBeta: Well, if the system says they're installed, they're installed. Do those things need permissions to run? [08:48] i just tried sudo. and still not found :/ [08:48] yup... but after a while, it gets to the difficulty level where most ask themselves "What's the point" and just re-install [08:51] topper4125: can I pm ya? [08:51] sure [08:52] KidBeta: I mean group permissions. [08:52] b4now [08:55] hey! [08:55] Kidbeta, to run diffutils, are you typing just "diff" in the terminal? [08:55] hi... I have moved a harddisk with ubuntu 12.04 to a new machine - and it does not recognize the network card (ethernet) - how can I make it do that without reinstalling the system? [08:56] topper4125 well that works but binutils still doesnt [08:56] thank you [08:57] says binutils is used by the following terminal commands: addr2line, ar, as, c++filt, elfedit, gold, gprof, ld, ld.bfd, ld.gold, nm, objcopy, objdump, ranlib, readelf, size, strings, strip [08:58] because its a collection of tools and im retarded [08:58] all good fellas [08:59] thanks everyone [08:59] * gartral can not fight curiosity any more.. [08:59] kidbeta... k... hope it helped... [08:59] it did :P [09:00] gartral: backup what you need first [09:00] is there a way to get a card reader to work on linux 3.2+ [09:00] auronandace: already did that! [09:00] gartral: good [09:00] 0.0 [09:00] stroodlepup little more info required, is it built in, is it a usb card reader. [09:01] stroodlepup, Depends on which brand you have [09:01] it's built in...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:55] MonkeyDust, i'm looking to get a laptop [10:55] not a desktop [10:57] i have 12.04 LTS on CD and 12.10 on dvd. when starting both up via live CD i have to use the nomoeset option. this is what gets me, 12.04 LTS works nice and fast, smooth. no hassles but 12.10 crawls like a game that doesnt have enough system resources. laggy. does this mean 12.10 wont work on my pc but 12.04LTS will? apologies Ubottu, im new to this type of thing. [10:58] what video card HTC-DZ ? [10:58] its the onboard nvidia 6150 [10:59] Interesting [11:00] willis, im using nomodeset because the graphics card is giving me problems. it hangs with a black screen. iv read some forums where other people had ussues with the graphics card and were advised to use the nomodeset option which is what worked for me too [11:00] hello ... on 12.04 i have problems playing and ripping original audio cd's. some tracks (beginning of cd) are played/ripped with distorted sound. i tried with different programs (rhythmbox/sound juicer 4 rip / rhythmbox+xmms2 4 play) and on 2 different computers, the cd's are new original audio cd's that play fine on hw cd player. what can i try? is this a known issue with 12.04? [11:01] HTC-DZ: With nomodeset you're probably not getting hardware accelerated 3D. Ubuntu 12.04 has a 2D fallback for Unity, Ubuntu 12.10 uses Unity 3D, but if you don't have GPU acceleration does 3D rendering with the CPU, which is incredibly slow. If you switch to XFCE or any other non-3D Desktop (or get proper 3D drivers) everything should be snappy again. [11:01] if it helps, 12.04 lts is on CD-R and 12.10 is on DVD-RW. do you think that could affect live cd performance? [11:02] koinandable: Distorted in what way? Can you upload a small example somewhere? [11:02] HTC-DZ: No. It's almost certainly as I explained it. [11:03] jordan what you saying is i should download the drivers from here http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-260.19.36-driver.html and 12.10 should work fine? [11:03] anywhere i can see a graph of processor usage? [11:03] Jordan_U, distorted like overdriven, will try to find a site where i can upload audio [11:04] *on my system [11:05] never mind [11:06] HTC-DZ: No. If you want to install Nvidia drivers you should use the Additional Drivers tool, installing directly from Nvidia will cause problems. [11:08] oh ok jordan. can i test it out on a live cd first to see if it will work fine before installing to HDD or will that not be possible coz il have to restart the machine after the drivers are installed? [11:09] !tab | HTC-DZ [11:09] HTC-DZ: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:10] HTC-DZ: It's not possible because it requires a restart. (That's not technically true, it's possible but difficult and I don't have the time to walk you through it). [11:11] oh ok no problem jordan, thanks though. think il use an old 40gig to test it out. if i can get that up and running fine il redo it on my 500GB one. :) [11:12] Jordan_U: Thanks, I didn't know that [11:12] that's actually really neat [11:12] ok done, uploaded a sample to http://vocaroo.com/i/s1jFCPg0haQb [11:12] how can I add envelope indicator back if I have removed it? [11:12] AceBlade2581: You're welcome :) [11:13] koinandable: that sounds... like a bad rip... [11:14] yes, funy thing is that later tracks are ok (although with a very llow bitrate) [11:15] koinandable: what are you ripping them as? [11:15] thanks for all the help guys :) P.S - im a noob to linux and irc. chatrooms were never my thing. :) thanks for having the patience to put up with me :) [11:15] doesnt matter, issue is with playing the cd and with ripping it, first tried flac, then mp3 === AceBlade2581 is now known as AceBlade258 [11:16] koinandable: so even playing them sounds like that [11:16] yes [11:17] koinandable: Might not help, but try ripping to mp3 and running "mp3gain /path/to/file.mp3" then try playing the mp3 again.

[11:19] try ##security [11:19] koinandable: Interestingly, while it sounds somewhat like clipping, looking at the waveform in Audacity it doesn't look like clipping. [11:19] Jordan_U, ty, but i'm sure this wont do anything. this occurs with other cd's as well but only with the first 1-5 tracks, later tracks are/play ok [11:20] koinandable: Is that with all cd's? [11:20] do you have another OS to test with, it may be a hardware problem [11:22] AceBlade258, no, only some, it's even different for cd's from one set (like double cd for instance) [11:23] i have only 2x 12.04, deleted windows... which i regret now :( .. but it is the same on2 computers [11:23] koinandable: do you know if those CD's are 16/44.1kHz [11:23] koinandable: This person seems to have a similar problem, and fixed it with a firmware update: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828139 [11:24] or 16/48kHz [11:24] I'm with Jordan_U, firmware update can't hurt [11:25] rfl735 [11:26] ok, ty guys, will try to find an update, copy protection came to my mind as well ... ty === G4MBY2 is now known as r99 [11:26] koinandable: Wish I'd thought of that, lol [11:26] hello need help convert apache rewrite to nginx http://pastebin.com/4Y3erTiM [11:28] AceBlade258, would be strange anyway bc i always managed to copy cd's with linux regardless of any protection [11:29] ok i'm out .. ty :) [11:29] good luck [11:30] koinandable: Wait. [11:30] ok [11:30] * AceBlade258 AFK [11:31] koinandable: I just found out about a command called "cdparanoia" which might help. [11:32] when I plug in my camera and open the directory in nautilus for its card, I get a big bar saying "The medium contains digital photos" at the top - how can I get rid of that? [11:32] :) while chatting i installed it to try later, that was the program i always used in the past, just thought, that all cd ripping in linux uses it as basis ... but will try it on command line where options can be tuned better [11:33] hello [11:34] koinandable: If nothing else, it might tell you what's wrong. [11:34] what is default firewall shipped with ubuntu, and how can i open specific port like 1234 ? [11:35] koinandable: And I'm curious how this goes, so if you don't mind please keep me informed if cdparanoia works, or if you ever figure out more. [11:35] Jordan_U ... yes, true ... afk now, thx for your help again [11:35] koinandable: You're welcome. [11:35] will keep you informed ... if you stay, we'll see :) [11:35] Thanks :) [11:36] does any1 here have hdmi working? [11:46] hi all [11:47] hi all :| [11:47] Hi [11:47] tester it works, you're in [11:47] :) [11:47] hi [11:48] now i joined again by M4st3r4N0nY Nick name . :) [11:49] back :D [11:51] you are talking about what ? in this irc :-? [11:51] * FauxFaux directs M4st3r4N0nY to the topic. [11:52] @ faux , ?? [11:52] o/ [11:54] koinandable: It looks like cdrtools uses libparanoia, and most tools used to use cdrtools until the licensing problems came to light: http://lwn.net/Articles/195167/ [11:54] koinandable: libparanoia itself doesn't have any licensing problems though. [11:59] Jordan_U: oh man, Jörg Schilling [11:59] fruitcake [12:04] Hi, is it right using the tar -a option to auto-detect the extension of an archive to extract? [12:04] It works but the man says it's good only for compress [12:06] tar -ca arch.gz [12:06] tar -ca arch.bz2 [12:06] sorry [12:06] tar -xa arch.gz [12:06] Virunga: For uncompressing, it automatically detects with no arguments. [12:06] koinandable: Also, libparanoia doesn't have features that some people would like, among other things it can't extract metadata from CDs and it doesn't "make use of the maximum speed available from a CDROM drive." ( http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/faq.html#gimme ) which both make it less appealing as a default ripping library / utility. As you can see from that FAQ though, it is very focused on working around defects in hardware to ... [12:06] oh :D [12:06] ... get a perfect rip. [12:06] FauxFaux: i didn't know it :D [12:07] FauxFaux: thank you! [12:07] Hello, I've got a question.

[13:29] Confucius add free space to an existing partition? if yes, backup first, then use gparted on the live cd === Guest4236 is now known as cosmo === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [13:34] Confucius smart guy. [13:34] MonkeyDust I have tried it,but gparted just can reduce the existing space of this partition, not add [13:35] @confucius gparted should be able to add space too; [13:36] @confucius if there is a partition next to your ubuntu partition, you will have to move that to the right [13:36] Confucius backup, then delete the partition and and add the free space - rather drastic, i admit [13:36] @confucius before extending your ubuntu partition [13:36] which printers are best supported in ubuntu? [13:36] canon?... [13:36] Confucius: gparted will shrink a partition and then use the free space to expand another, (if they are next to each other, if not, one will need to be moved.) [13:37] !cups > Tashtego start here [13:37] Tashtego, please see my private message [13:37] Tashtego: plug it in and try, i'd say a lot of them are supported- but "best" no idea [13:37] Confucius: In other words, you have to leave free space *next to* the partition you want to enlarge. [13:37] Tashtego: Erm, no. I'd say, for linux in general, HP laserprinters as well as a large number of other printers, too. [13:37] i will never buy a hp ever again in my life! [13:38] I'd never buy anything else, regarding printers. :) Thats a personal decision for everyone. [13:39] hp f380 -> 400 megs for a simple driver. tested with 2 devices on 3 computers. it ran NOWHERE! [13:39] 2 printers, 3 different computers, windows and linux.... but nevermind [13:39] not the point in this channel. thx for the help [13:39] Tashtego: printers are a nightmare whatever the OS [13:39] idd [13:41] One must have patience when dealing with printers. No doubt about it. It is not HPs fault, it's not the printer's fault, it's the industries fault. [13:42] How would i dl a C libary linux/gpio through terminal? [13:42] yeats: except windows... honestly [13:42] @usr13 the free space already next to the extending partition,why I couldn't add it [13:43] Confucius: What kind of error did it give you? Or... what was the problem? [13:43] Confucius: I know that it works. I've done it numerous times. [13:44] Confucius: Do you have the drive booted up now? Or do you have it plugged in? [13:44] AceBlade258: after you've done printer sharing on a network that mixes OSs, you'll probably agree that windows is just as much of a pain, but this is off topic [13:44] Confucius: If so, show me; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [13:45] @mokeydust such a drasic way I think. in fact,i don't have much space to backup [13:46] Confucius tip: use TAB for nick completion [13:46] Confucius: May be that you just didn't understand how to operate gparted's interface. [13:47] Confucius: Try again and look closely at the options.

Above links are *FYI* [13:52] @usr13 OK,i will read it and try again [13:52] Confucius: But I keep the gparted LiveCD in my breafcase as well. [13:53] Confucius: You'll do better next time.

[14:28] all I want is basic click function [14:28] it skips, darn thing [14:28] cloudman, its strange that you mouse doesnt support HID, but if it doesn't then someone has to write a specialized driver [14:28] will check some settings [14:29] Wait, it skips?

I'm not to sure how I go about acheiving this though. I'm running the live disk now and my hdd looks like this: http://i50.tinypic.com/34hgjh5.png do I just delete /dev/sda4/ then re-install from disk ? [15:04] Thanks :) [15:04] Ben_at: well, if you want to delete everything, delete everything [15:05] Hi all, perhaps answering my own question...Submenus didn't get supported until Grub1.99 - correct? [15:07] gordonjcp: Thanks, I read on the internet i needed to unmout swap partions etc.. but I cant seem to find that on my hdd [15:07] @tobia have you tried directly mounting the iso file in virtualbox ? [15:07] somsip: Is your 12.04 system running notify-osd? [15:07] bazhang: my output is same or similar to that link.. thanks for pointing that out [15:08] My googling leads me to understand that notify-osd does not honor the timeout option from notify-send === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:08] Hi [15:08] Hi [15:09] Ben_at: /dev/sda4 is your extended partition; /dev/sda5 is where I assume you wish to actually install ubuntu. You can select to install ubuntu there (root partition, e.g. '\', and you may select to format the partition at the same time. I would recommend that you create a swap partition first, and another partition for your 'home'. I recently installed 12.04LTS, while I had 10.04LTS and... [15:09] ...WindowsVista on other partitions. From the live disk, I did not need to unmount any swap partitions. All was well. [15:09] chreekat: I use it for email notifications [15:09] Can I somehow request to my dns server that it should add a PTR and A record for my client machine with static IP? For the ones on DHCP this is done automaticaly. [15:10] somsip: But is notify-send using it as well, or..? [15:10] ok thanks mcgrete :) I just kinda ruined my current version of ubuntu so wanted to install fresh over it [15:10] chreekat: sorry - notify-send, not notify-osd [15:11] !dns | Laban [15:11] Laban: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [15:11] somsip: Ah. I'm curious which backend you're using (it sounds like there't at least two: notify-osd and notification-daemon) [15:11] Ben_at: My understanding is that you don't need to format; when you install an OS, it will overwrite any existing files; however, it will leave any other space (not modified by install) unmodified. As such, if you don't have issues with that, they are nearly identical. You won't hurt anything, as long as you stay away from your sda1-sda3 partitions. [15:11] Laban better ask in #ubuntu-server, i guess [15:11] chreekat: calling it manually from a bash script monitoring offlineimap [15:12] Ok great mcgrete thank you for the advice, I'll get doing that now! :D [15:12] Hmm. If I have configured X with two separate X-screens (without Xinerama or mirroring), how can I reach my secondary screen with the mouse since they aren't connected in any way? [15:12] chreekat: driven by inotifywait [15:12] anyone here know how to fix a the apache2 127.0.1.1 waiting for valid server name shutdown issue ? [15:13] Ben_at: I also recommend grub-customizer; is simpler than editing grub config files, etc. If your ubuntu version is new enough, I recommend that you use the latest stable version of Grub2. I have Grub1.98 - appears that submenus are not supported until 1.99. This is not part of your question, but if you are setting up multiple OS to boot from, you will want to look at your Grub menu and setup. [15:13] Ben_at: Your welcome; good luck.

[16:38] ~/.cache/google-chrome [16:38] dcherniv one last question ... that worked for the graphical interface... how do I set the same mode for the tty/cmd?

[16:41] g00053: particularly handy on SSDs ;) [16:42] :D [16:42] g00053: its probably possible in some way with Firefox, but I haven't used it in a long while, I'm sure the procedure is similar (If you don't use it either then you don't have to worry) [16:43] Hans_Zero, hang on, been a while since i messed with it [16:43] dcherniv_ it's a first time for me ^^ thank you in advance [16:43] whoops [16:43] ActionParsnip, nah i don't use firefox [16:44] ActionParsnip: i think theres a typo in your commands you gave.. you got /run/google-chrome then /run/chromium ;) [16:44] do'h [16:44] g00053_: ^ [16:44] got it [16:44] g00053_: you get the idea [16:44] dr_willis: thanks man :) [16:45] Hans_Zero, aw man i disabled it in my kernel here, but if you have /dev/fb then you can use fbset to set the resolution and such [16:45] I don't think I have /dev/fb [16:46] ActionParsnip: does chromoim and google-chrome share the same cache? [16:46] hi there [16:47] dr_willis: Look in ~/.cache and see if the folder is the same. [16:47] dr_willis: not 100% sure tbh [16:47] note: it's still the same error (monitor saying "out of range") when I switch with ctr+alt+f1 to the cmd [16:47] i'm trying to configure chromium to use a polipo but for some reason it doesnt work [16:47] Hans_Zero, usually has a number after it like /dev/fb0 [16:47] dr_willis, i don't believe it does [16:47] Hans_Zero, wow really [16:47] I have a dualscreen set-up, and the workspace preview (when I ctrl + arrow) used to take that into account. However, now it just shows a 16:9 ratio for each workspace, while it should be 32:9. Any idea how to fix that? [16:47] Hans_Zero, hm then framebuffer not gonna help [16:48] i dont see any chromium named dir. :) but i did get an error when i ran chromoim due to not setting up all your commands first [16:48] if I /dev/f tab->tab it only get's me /dev/fd/0 [16:48] Hans_Zero, probably something with this newfangled KMS thingy [16:49] dcherniv_ yes the xrandr stuff di work for the graphical environment but not the nongraphical one and I need a cmd to install graphics drivers so the xbmcbuntu does display anything at all apart from a notice that tells me to install some opengl drivers [16:49] Hans_Zero, kernel basically initializes your graphics card without help of the X server [16:49] Hans_Zero, i dont know where the resolution for that is set [16:49] ok [16:49] thanks so far [16:49] Hans_Zero, you can try to boot with grub option nomodeset [16:50] yeah or maybe I'll start into runlevel 3... [16:50] thank you dcherniv_ [16:50] ubuntu dosent really use runlevels [16:50] Hans_Zero, or that boot into recovery mode and install graphics drivers [16:50] !text [16:50] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [16:50] dr_willis does --single still work though? [16:50] thanks ubottu [16:50] Hans_Zero: i always use the text mode option, i think 'single' does work. [16:51] ok text is fine with me though [16:52] lol it can't display grub [16:53] I think I'll ask if someones got a usefull pciex graphics card and then try again with this pc... it's no help without one I think [16:54] Hans_Zero: what video chip do you use? [16:54] Hans_Zero, adjust GFX_MODE in /etc/default/grub and update-grub2 [16:54] theres some options in /etc/default/grub to tell grub to ise a old fashioned text based menu [16:55] Hans_Zero, or uncomment this line GRUB_TERMINAL=console [16:57] ok I'll try that [16:57] Hello, how will I be able to know if this network adapter will be compatible with Linux? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001OQSZQ0/ref=gno_cart_title_1 [16:58] Action Parsnip it's some onboard graphics I don't know which and without a cmd it's hard to tell [16:58] jaylkay: google for the number on the chip? [16:58] jaylkay: More than likely, it is. [16:59] gordonjcp: Number? .. [16:59] Hans_Zero: try the boot option: nomodeset its probably some Intel thing [17:00] ActionParsnip if you read carefully the system dosn't display the grub boot manager [17:01] Hans_Zero: it will if you hold SHIFT. [17:01] hi ActionParsnip i need some help may i pm you [17:01] Hans_Zero: Grub shows in text mode, which any screen can show [17:01] ActionParsnip that is a usefull advice :) [17:01] Hans_Zero: it doesn't display by default, doesn't mean it CAN'T be made to show [17:02] quiet=splash [17:02] Evil_Eric: ask here, the channel will reply === ok is now known as Guest94614 [17:03] ActionParsnip dosn't work monitor still says "out of range" [17:03] Hans_Zero: does the system have a make and model? [17:03] yes it does [17:03] well i have an issue with shutting down when i try to shut down using the GUI it shuts down to a certian point then freezes and dosent power down [17:04] Hans_Zero: what is it please, that'd be more useful than simply saying 'yes it does' [17:04] Aspire E380... note the modell comes with a pciex graphics card which is not working anymore so I'm using the onboard graphics atm [17:04] needed to look it up first [17:04] (brand is asus) [17:05] Evil_Eric: I've seen that - selecting "shut down" again usually does it. Annoying but not anything I've followed up on :-/ [17:05] Hans_Zero: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireE380/AspireE380sp2.shtml couldnt use that to find the spec...so when people ask details, you could tell them? [17:05] Hans_Zero: seems to be an nvidia onboard video chip [17:05] Hans_Zero: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [17:06] yes seems to be [17:06] again I can't add boot parameters as long as I can't see a grub [17:06] yeats , i cant select shutdown a 2nd time cause it shuts down at a point where the gui isnt present [17:06] Evil_Eric have you tried shutting down using the console? [17:06] Hans_Zero: why couldn't you find that link online to get the video chip as you had a model name, rather than saying you didn't know the video chip. You had all the info necessary to find it online..... [17:07] evil_eric -> try from comman line sudo poweroff [17:08] you mean sudo shutdown -P now [17:08] Hans_Zero: is the onboard video set to the primary video chip? [17:08] Hey, I have a question: I know the sufix in the files in /etc/apt.conf.d is to make apt read them in order, but, can I put the same as other file does have? How do I choose a number? [17:08] Hans_Zero: in the BIOS? [17:08] ActionParsnip yes it is [17:08] and there is no other video chip [17:08] Hans_Zero: so, why could you not find the inormation I found? Genuine question? [17:08] yes [17:08] jaylkay: More-than-likely is the best answer we can give, (unless someone watching right now is actually running the TG-3468 (v1 or v2). [17:09] I could've found it I didn't (yet) search for it [17:09] okay [17:09] I'm having trouble with showing up grub not the graphics driver [17:09] rex the point of this is to shut down through the gui not by command line anyhow [17:10] hi there linuxguy [17:10] Hans_Zero: are you trying to install the OS or is this on an installed OS? [17:10] funny seeing you here [17:10] ActionParsnip this is an installed os (xbmcbuntu which is basically xubunut as far as I know) [17:11] Hans_Zero: can you boot to the install CD ok? [17:11] xbmcbuntu had issues last i tried it.. its very easy to install xbmc on a real ubuntu install. [17:11] Hans_Zero: if you let the OS boot for 10 mins, then press CTRL+ALT+F1 do you get a prompt? [17:11] Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64. I'm not getting any sound. Rebooting doesn't work and afaik I haven't done any changes. Would appreciate help troubleshooting. [17:11] evil_eric. -> what itr shows during shutdown? [17:11] ActionParsnip yes I can and yes I installed it from the livecd [17:11] Hans_Zero: check out openelec if you want a MultiMedia distro its basically a mini xmbmcubuntu type setup [17:12] actionParsnip no I don't get a prompt the monitor says out of range... the graphics card drivers work fine the resolution is not supported by the monitor [17:12] jaylkay: It's the same (and sometimes worse) trying to buy hardwre for a Win7 64bit box. I know. I had to get a WiFi card for one at the VFW post and I found 2 that didn't work. There were 32bit drivers but not 64bit. You could install the card, install drivers (wouldn't even designate whether it was 32 or 64bit, and you could install a driver that turns out it was 32bit and just didn't work). [17:12] Hans_Zero: ahh so you can then log in there. Then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [17:12] ok I got grub :) [17:12] it dosent show any errors just your normal stuff and i cant screen shot it due to it being shut down and if its logged somewhere i dont know where so please point me in the direction to get the logs and ill get them up on pastebin for you [17:13] qwd: 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 [17:13] Hans_Zero: grub can be set to use differnt modes.. some monitors just dont like some of the res/modes that grub can use. [17:13] Hans_Zero: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [17:13] I set grub to console and now it shows [17:13] jaylkay: But I think your chances are very good - that one will be ok. [17:13] ok now I can hopefully start linux in text mode [17:14] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=24cc3bf8ca311f89d09b1063fc6550bbb63c35e1 [17:14] alright [17:14] I'll se [17:14] e [17:14] /var/log/syslog.0 [17:14] which line do I add this again? the one with linux or the one with initrd ? [17:14] anyone here know how to install gnome3 remix on ubuntu 12.10? [17:15] !text | Hans_Zero [17:15] Hans_Zero: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

Space and then text [17:15] qwd: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1383051/ [17:16] Hans_Zero: get fully updated and install the nvidia-current package [17:16] nvm usr13 got it [17:16] thank you [17:17] ok cmd is now working... now I can update graphics drivers @ActionParsnip [17:17] Hans_Zero: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [17:18] ActionParsnip: Thanks! [17:18] now I can check what kinda grapghics chip I got (nvidia...) and then install apropriate drivers... [17:18] qwd: all ok? [17:18] andybrine if you just want Gnome 3 then "sudo apt-get install gnome" [17:18] genericus: Gnome3 is already installed [17:19] ActionParsnip Including Shell? I don't keep up with Ubuntu much [17:19] ok ActionParsnip system is up to date and nvidia-current is also up to date [17:19] andybrine: install gnome-panel log off then log in to the new session [17:19] Hans_Zero: lspci should show. lspci | grep VGA (or grep vga) [17:19] genericus: gnome-shell is in the official repos too [17:19] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I didn't even have to reboot. I've had this problem for days so thanks a lot! [17:19] thanks guys, I have installed gnome sheel [17:19] Hans_Zero: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [17:20] its weird that I cant apply any themes [17:20] dr_willis it shows the graphics card correctly [17:20] qwd: your sound may have needed the later alsa, or resetting the sound config by deleting the pulse file and folder [17:20] have you come across this at all? [17:20] andybrine: how is that weird...not knowing how to do something isn't "weird" [17:21] you assume that i have never done it before [17:21] lol [17:21] i have downloaded and applied themes which have worked perfectly [17:21] andybrine: what shell / desktop are you using? [17:22] Hans_Zero: id hope lspci shows the card correctly. ;) the issue is if the drivers work correctly with the card.. [17:22] ok ActionParsnip I got sudo nvidia-xconfig and rebooted still no opengl support [17:22] I am using the latest shell and ubuntu 12.10 [17:22] dr_willis it shows the graphics card correctly [17:22] Hans_Zero: but do you get a desktop? [17:22] andybrine: are you using Unity shell? [17:23] ActionParsnip I got a desktop before... it consists of a message box telling me that it needs opengl (which is the xbmc frontend) [17:23] im currently running gnome3 [17:23] hey REX you still around [17:23] andybrine: that doesn't tell us the shell [17:23] yeah [17:23] can i pm you [17:23] andybrine: Unity is a shell for Gnome3, so when you use Unity, you are using Gnome3 [17:24] andybrine: Gnome3 has been the default desktop since Oneiric [17:24] http://ubuntuone.com/5sNo3EvWqnVYD26uMciZFA <-----log file in txt in its entirerty === Guest94614 is now known as ok_wait [17:24] OK I'm happy so far my linux is now working appropriately... now I need opengl support for my nforce430 chipset graphics [17:25] Hans_Zero: if you are using xbmcbuntu i would suggest trying an actual ubuntu install and installing xbmc. it may work better [17:25] andybrine: lets make it easy, does your desktop look like this: http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Unity_5.12_on_Ubuntu_12.04.jpg [17:25] yes I thought about that dr_willis [17:25] Hans_Zero: technically this channel does NOT support xbmcbuntu ;) and last i used xbmcvbuntu - it was not as up to date as ubuntu in some areas [17:25] I am using gnome shell on the latest version of ubuntu [17:26] andybrine: ok Gnome shell is the shell then [17:26] lol, yes :s exactly what i said originally [17:26] lpl [17:27] dr_willis true but I'm not having trouble with the xbmc part but the underlying stuff like grub and everything and you all helped well and I got the ubuntu part running now I'm looking for graphics driers which again I think is part of ubuntu... [17:27] evil_eric check this --- > http://askubuntu.com/questions/103015/how-do-i-check-if-last-shutdown-was-clean [17:27] thanks rex im on it [17:27] dr_willis I could of course switch to nvidia support now === g_byers[Away] is now known as g_byers [17:27] Hans_Zero: if You really need a live xbmc setup try openelec --> http://openelec.tv/ [17:27] its updated more often. [17:28] andybrine: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/themes-collection-for-ubuntu-1110-unity.html http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/07/a-list-of-best-15-ubuntu-1204-themes.html [17:29] I wonder when someone will shoehorn that netflix on ubuntu thang into xbmc on ubuntu. ;) that would be handy [17:29] dr_willis I worked with openelec on a rapsberry pi and was disappointed with the lack of some stuff and thought maybe xbmcbuntu was better [17:29] Hans_Zero: given the specs of the Pi. ;) that fact it worked decently well is amazeing.. but my Pis are on backorder. [17:30] Hi, I upgraded ubuntu to the newest release, but now, I only see my desktop, the panel on the left no longer appears. [17:30] evil_eric ----> i think its a bug because on my lappy i am unable to use restart feature. It simply go blank and i have to press poweroff button for sometime to shutdown [17:30] well its nap time for me.. bbl [17:30] Hans_Zero: I'd install lxde so you can at least use a desktop to setup the OS then switch to the XBMC nonsense. [17:30] restart feature is now working in 12.10 in my netbook [17:30] hahaha im able to restart but not use the shutdown feature [17:30] dr_willis I think the new version with even more ram should work even better [17:31] what version you use? [17:31] 12.04 [17:31] Hey guys, could you help me with my wireless Internet connection. It's so much slower on Ubuntu than it is on Windows. [17:31] rex does that lappy use intel drivers? [17:31] ActionParsnip good Idea but I kinda wanted to use xfce... [17:32] Hans_Zero: that is fine too [17:32] since this is already a xubuntu [17:32] yes jus graphic [17:32] hello [17:32] thats the issue then [17:32] Hans_Zero: you may need to add stuff to xorg.conf to make the driver load properly [17:32] in 12.04 i have restart problem but not in 12.10 try this version [17:33] cause when im on my ati i dont have the issue but the 2nd reboot from the intel side it dose this everytimr === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [17:33] ActionParsnip is there no magical Ubuntu script that installs proprietary nvidia drivers and does everything I need to do auto-magically? [17:33] I'm sorry I am new to ubuntu, but I need urgent answer about transferring files from my pc to iphone :) [17:33] Anyone about to help me with my wireless problem? It's pretty speedy in Windows but not in Xubuntu 12.04 [17:33] means not supporting intel [17:33] fully [17:33] I thought that was one of the 3 killer features of ubuntu [17:33] yeah [17:34] same bug for both of us [17:34] hi [17:34] Hans_Zero: Arn't you using gtk-jockey? [17:34] then we have to wait and hope next kernel will solve the problem [17:34] ChrisWere I don't even know what that is [17:34] Hand_Zero: Software Sources -> Additional Drivers [17:35] yep and in this case it will break my graphics and ill have to do a fresh install and upgrade to get it right [17:35] kamidi can you talk me through the cmd version ? [17:35] yeah [17:35] switchable graphics ='s fail on linux [17:35] Hans_Zero: I have ATI/AMD and i don't know specifics of nVidia driver installation [17:36] thanks kamidi [17:36] i have amd/intel [17:36] Hans_Zero: the "Additional Drievrs" program should help you with nVidia drivers. Have you seen that program? [17:36] Evil_Eric: Even if graphics fail, you don't have to do fresh install in most cases [17:37] any way to get e160e working on 12.04? [17:37] ChrisWere is there a cmd line version of it? I have to set up a graphical environment before I do stuff like that first [17:37] i know its just easyer to do a fresh install in order to get it working better [17:37] Hans_Zero: yes, the nvidia-current installs it all but if your screen is cheap it will not report EDID and you will need to set this up yourself [17:37] thanks ActionParsnip [17:37] Hans_Zero: I need one as the defalts detected by my screen are whack so I override with the xorg.conf file [17:37] Evil_Eric: i had problems too with automatic installation (Software sources). i had to use terminal to install some dependencies and after that reinstall fglrx. everything worked fine after that [17:37] so I already got the correct drivers and only need to modify the xorg stuff myself? [17:37] yeah fresh install resolve most of the issue [17:37] can i save my irc password on xchat (ubuntu) === tMobile4a03 is now known as tyteen4a03 [17:37] Hans_Zero: I can pastebin my fileif you want [17:38] Hans_Zero: try install nvidia-current from the command line.

It seems a lot slower on Ubutnu but not in Windows [17:39] ChrisWere: what wifi you have? [17:39] thanks ActionParsnip...

[17:40] brb need to check through both of the config files [17:40] ChrisWere: I had problems with RaLink and i sorted it out by downloding sources and building them from their site and [17:40] kamidi : not all issue are solved in fresh install. for 12.04 i have done 2 to times fresh install then most of the problem are solved [17:40] kamidi: My drivers are included in the kernal. I bought the wifi card specifically because of that. [17:41] rex: yes i know. i have had some luck in past too but now i try to solve problems without resorting to fresh install which is not so convenient [17:42] hey rex ive looked into something and it could be the wi-fi card also [17:42] ChrisWere: mine was too but there is bug (RaLink RT3062) which caused it to be really slow === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [17:42] Hey guys sorry for those connection issues I was having before.

[17:44] chriswre --> now add these lines at last -->options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 [17:44] Hans_Zero: the ID is just a prettiness, You can change it if you want, just the identifier needs to be unchanged [17:44] rex: why not run: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf > /dev/null [17:44] rex: that opens up an empty file [17:44] yes I was just looking for sync ranges If I need to adjust them [17:44] ChrisWere: if i remember correctly, i used this to install wireless drivess. http://askubuntu.com/questions/106865/compiling-an-rt3062-pci-wireless-driver [17:45] didn't find them yet... all I found was this http://support.questonline.gr/catalog/E0/E0C3EC41DB1A7646AEE32B9804FAD37A.pdf [17:45] ChrisWere: run: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf > /dev/null [17:45] ChrisWere: farrrrrrr easier [17:45] rex: if he has same problem i had, that might not be solution. it's worth a try, though [17:45] ah there are the numbers [17:45] ActionParsnip what's that command for?

My question is should these be defined in /.htaccess and if so, what are the sites-avilable & sites-enabled directorires used for? [18:23] Wiz_KeeD: Good question.

[19:15] Cosmin: install build-essential to get a compiling environment :) [19:15] i build it [19:15] installed it* [19:16] Cosmin: man gcc :) [19:16] Cosmin, what ya tryin to do [19:17] Cosmin: GCC has an extensive manual at the website for GCC. To really learn how to use the compilers, it's best to do a bit of reading there. It may be hard to answer complex questions via IRC :/ [19:17] ActionParsnip, mmm nice then i'll have to search a bit more.. === debsan_ is now known as debsan [19:20] i have read some tutorials, i just don't understand where do i have to put the file that i've created with gedit [19:21] Cosmin: which file? [19:21] i made for the beggining a simple program that i have saved on the desktop [19:21] Cosmin: you don't have to put it anywhere special, you can compile in terminal [19:21] and saved it "hello.cpp" [19:21] Cosmin: desktop is fine [19:21] yea [19:21] then [19:21] i go to terminal [19:22] with g++ hello.cpp [19:22] and nothing happens [19:22] Cosmin: you will need to run: cd ~/Desktop first [19:22] does anyone run zend server and php-fpm on the same box without conflict? [19:22] unless you are in the Desktop directory, it won't find it [19:22] Cosmin: or the interpretter won't find the file [19:22] it says on the first row [19:22] g++: error: hello.cpp: No such file or director [19:22] y [19:23] or having to tweak php source .deb [19:23] Cosmin: read above [19:23] Yo! WHen creating a live usb using unetbootin it seems to hang on step 3 for AGES [19:23] ok [19:23] i did now [19:23] with the desktop [19:23] blueribbon: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [19:23] I can only assume this is a lot of overhead in creating the preserve files section? === ubuntu is now known as Guest30579 [19:23] ActionParsnip: Step 3 is creating the bootleader. [19:23] and now it says hello.cpp:1:23: fatal error: iostream.h: no such file or directory [19:23] blueribbon: how much persistance did you set? [19:24] ActionParsnip: 4gb [19:24] Or was it 5... [19:24] Cosmin: I'd ask in #c++ [19:24] oo [19:24] blueribbon: that's going to take a whle [19:24] ok [19:24] CosmicB: #include [19:24] CosmicB: without the.h === Force is now known as DAYSofVICE [19:24] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to create a usb stick for a thin client (to use as a media centre) [19:24] without h?

[19:24] hmmm why? i knew i need to use iostream.h [19:24] i'll try wait [19:24] you don't [19:24] blueribbon: imagie copying 5Gb of data to a USB stick, how long does it take? [19:25] ActionParsnip: Bah! Ok well I am burning xubuntu. I am assuming I do still need this section? [19:25] iostream.h is pre-standard (1998) [19:25] Cosmin: without the h. The standard libraries are referenced without the .h in C++, not your own however. [19:25] blueribbon: well...not burning really ;) [19:25] aha [19:25] hello :D [19:25] ActionParsnip: Yeah I know. I was jus too lazy to think o the right term [19:25] ActionParsnip: Damn I hate technlogy, grr.

[19:34] With version number 8.0.4-ubuntu0.2 [19:34] hello.. got litle work for some one.. [19:34] I have a HTPC that was running (essentially) headless for a while now, serving up only XBMC. I recently upgraded to 12.10, which broke the display (ATI). I've tried resolving the issue, but getting nowhere. thought I'd use this opportunity to install ubuntu-desktop, but stuff's still borked. I've tried removing & purging & reinstalling x11, xserver, fglrx & orther display resources. anyone able to offer me any help, please? [19:35] ActionParsnip: omg omg omg omg it worked omg [19:35] :D [19:35] kieppie1, what driver fglrx or built in? [19:35] Any help for me? [19:35] dcherniv: no? [19:36] arvislacis: is the system a desktop OS? [19:36] drecute, as far as i know theres no way [19:36] ActionParsnip, so i wont probably need to install drivers, just get good xorg.conf settings and it should work? [19:36] Yes [19:36] dcherniv: not even chroot [19:36] arvislacis: are you running Hardy? [19:36] No [19:36] Precise [19:37] hi dcherniv: GPU is an ATI Radeon 4350 HD. I've tried both the native & the ATI prop driver, but doesn't seem to work. I really want to scratch all display & start anew, but it seems there are remnants of stuff left behind [19:37] dcherniv: everytime I install zend server on the same system running php-fpm, zend server crashes the php-fpm [19:37] dcherniv: hence, i think i can use chroot to isolate the problem [19:37] arvislacis: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libxatracker1 [19:37] ActionParsnip, I need to get deb package of libca.tr.acker [19:38] dcherniv: how will that be a problem? [19:38] arvislacis: sudo apt-get install libxatracker1 [19:38] any one free for helping me?? [19:38] AceBlade258, I can't get it directly because I have restriction of my internet. [19:38] lol, auto-complete fail [19:39] blueribbon: usb is painfully slow,despite what people may think or say [19:39] ActionParsnip: I lied. It does not work :(! [19:39] ActionParsnip: Didn't work for me. I have no /appa/indicators/datetime in dconf-editor [19:39] stupid-by-defaul: just ask ad the channel will reply, if it can [19:39] ActionParsnip, Could you please get 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2 version, rename it and send to me? [19:39] winb: search all of dconf for datetime then [19:39] ActionParsnip: God damnit this is annoying :/ I give up. Thank god for USB connectivity in modern TVs. [19:39] kieppie3, tried nomodeset in grub options? [19:39] arvislacis: do you not have web access on the system? [19:40] arvislacis: what is the output of: uname -a [19:40] ActionParsnip, I have university Internet and it bans some keywords. [19:40] kieppie3, nomodeset might help if you have standard drivers === stupid-by-defaul is now known as stupidBYdefault [19:41] arvislacis: don't mind doing it :D [19:41] What? [19:41] kieppie3, for fglrx ati is notorious for deprecating older cards in the newest drivers. check the ati site for the newest driver and make sure your card is supported [19:41] dcherniv: do you have alternative ideas on what I want to achieve? [19:41] arvislacis: what is the output of: uname -a [19:41] Linux arvis 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:41:14 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [19:41] ActionParsnip: I can only assume usb3 is actually quite good? [19:41] dcherniv: I have not. presently ssh'd into the box, trying to flush out some old bits & loading new. [19:41] drecute, php-fpm is fast-cgi from what i can tell? [19:42] dcherniv: thanks - I will. I'm happy to use the linux drivers if it offers 3D hardware-accelleration [19:42] dcherniv: yeah [19:42] arvislacis: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/package [19:42] arvislacis: is that ok? [19:43] blueribbon: its a faster tech, yes [19:43] I will look. [19:43] olaa [19:43] ok coool :) [19:43] drecute, what do php/apache logs say when it crashes? [19:44] c'è qualche italiano che mi può dare una mano con ubuntu? [19:44] Thanks ActionParsnip. [19:44] blueribbon: personally I think PXE booting is the future :) [19:44] arvislacis: np, got the file? [19:44] PXE? [19:44] Yes, also installed it. [19:45] blueribbon: booting on the network [19:45] ActionParsnip: Oh.

Too many security issues etc [19:46] dcherniv: the ATI site seems to indicate the 4xxx-series cards are supported, but does not explicitly list individual cards [19:46] blueribbon: you can keep the PXE server updated, saves having to upgrade much once installed [19:46] kieppie3: there is a PPA with the legacy driver [19:46] actionparsnip is there a way to upgrade to ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 with out loosing your files like videos and soforth from upgrading from a usb install [19:46] ANTI-NON-FREE-OS: your backups will prevent any data loss [19:47] ActionParsnip: Seems like the dream to me ;) [19:47] what backups [19:48] ANTI-NON-FREE-OS: the backups you made, your data is important. Right? [19:48] blueribbon: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx [19:48] kieppie3, cool, i'd install driver from ati site. usually all you have to do is run their install script. If that fails/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh --force [19:48] not realy [19:48] ANTI-NON-FREE-OS: then why ask, just go for it [19:48] i can actually do with out i was just hoping i dint have to back everything up [19:48] dcherniv: tried that - will do so again [19:48] ANTI-NON-FREE-OS: the upgrade process doesn't delete any user data...... [19:49] ANTI-NON-FREE-OS: you should have a backup if your data is of any value to you [19:49] but the thing is i dont know how to upgrade from usb [19:49] hi [19:49] someone can please help me ?

[20:32] oh i was helping d4rkh4nd8 [20:33] cheesecakes: please don't advise how to set the root password [20:33] may i ask why? [20:33] i think it is a good security measure [20:33] cheesecakes: its not supported, advised or necessary in ubuntu [20:33] cheesecakes: its worse, you have another account active, not better at all [20:34] but isnt root active by default? [20:34] cheesecakes: the account is disabled for a reason [20:34] or am i confusing distros [20:34] cheesecakes: by people I am very sure know more about Linux than you do [20:36] cheesecakes: if the user forgets their password, easy access to root console is really handy. If they also forget their root password then guess who has to dig them out? [20:36] Is anyone willing to help me with two hardware problems and a wine problem? [20:36] Jaclyn: hardware [20:36] the recovery mode would help [20:36] let's start there [20:37] cheesecakes: they will need the root password to log in there, which has been forgotten....

Well, I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.10, and now ubuntu refuses to register anything plugged into one of my USB ports, and says that I have 1.7GiB of RAM when I have 2GB [20:38] cheesecakes: if you want to set it on your system that's fine. But don't advise average users who may be new to Linux how to do it [20:38] cheesecakes: it makes more work for supported [20:38] what's a good usb tv stick to use with ubuntu? [20:38] Jaclyn: Only one usb port? [20:38] Yup [20:38] Just one [20:38] ok cool will remeber this [20:38] It has power, but if I plug a mouse or a keyboard or anything into it, it doesn't work. [20:38] Jaclyn: did you upgrade to Precise in between? [20:38] Yes [20:39] will not recommend setting the root password [20:39] cheesecakes: thanks :) [20:39] I used the update manager to go from 11.10 > 12.04 >12.10 [20:39] Jaclyn: do you have an onboard video chip? [20:39] Yes [20:39] Jaclyn: ram isn't a big deal, are you using/do you have integrated graphics? [20:39] no problem [20:39] BEcause I have a crappy 2006 laptop [20:39] Jaclyn: its using the system ram for the video RAM [20:40] ok. [20:40] Jaclyn: you can change the ammount used in the bios [20:40] Hmm [20:40] Well [20:40] That's fine [20:40] I just wanted to know where it was [20:40] Jaclyn: however, you should leave it where it's at, 256 is a decent graphics ram [20:40] * Jaclyn planned on leaving it there [20:41] sorry, i tend to not read as i type [20:42] issok. But what's going on with the USB port? [20:42] Jaclyn: do you have a usb keyboard? [20:42] Yes [20:42] guys, can anyone tell me how to install java oracle on ubuntu 12.04 lts? [20:42] the safe way :) [20:42] Jaclyn: does the numlock key light if you press the numlock key? [20:42] there is always multiple ways of doing it and i'd hate to mess things up on a fresh install [20:42] No. === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR [20:43] Wiz_KeeD: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [20:43] using ubuntu software? [20:43] If I plug my mouse into the port it lights up for a second and then turns off [20:43] Jaclyn: sounds like the USB ports are disabled. Are they enabled in BIOS? [20:43] YEs [20:43] If I boot up windows the USB ports work just fine [20:43] It's just that one USB port [20:43] is there any way to restore ubuntu to..as if it was just installed now, removing everything added, just like brand new again without burning cds, and losing /home [20:43] ActionParsnip, isn't java 8 out? [20:44] The other two USB ports work just fine [20:44] Wiz_KeeD: yes, its on that ppa too.... [20:44] so should i replace 7 with 8? [20:44] Wiz_KeeD: yes........ [20:45] it has some freakish terminal menu instead of a nice gui ActionParsnip :)) [20:45] from where to accept the terms and conditions [20:46] xjkx: if home is on separate parition then yes [20:46] Wiz_KeeD: use TAB and ENTER to accept the license [20:46] Wiz_KeeD: not freakish at all [20:46] brontosaurusrex: no, its not. I dont mean reinstall, just restore it [20:46] yes i did that, was just wondering why it has that old-school interface to it [20:46] its broken now [20:46] when in some examples it showed a proper gui comming up when installing java [20:46] xjkx: i see, dunno about that [20:47] Wiz_KeeD: lots of things have a text interface [20:47] tip for future reference: hardinfo is a nice gui tool [20:47] maybe the java7 was different idk [20:48] So. Do you have any idea why my USB port would do that? It was working just fine before I upgraded. [20:49] Wiz_KeeD: its an installer using the tar.gz from the java site, the deb is just a jandy way to install it. Nothing more === matt_ is now known as Guest58851 [20:49] Wiz_KeeD: you can do it manually using the archive, the deb just does it for you [20:50] Jaclyn, if you run lsusb , does it show ? [20:50] Wiz_KeeD: the java will also update as the PPA is updated [20:51] Hello. I want to create an encrypted archive with Archive manager but I can't seem to active encryption of the filelist itself. [20:51] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me here. My Problem is: I have a D-Link DWL-G570 [20:51] And, I cant seem to connect to a network [20:51] I mean, the option to encrypt the filelist in Archive Manager is ghosted. [20:52] Is there any way I can sync a folder to another partition easily WITHOUT ENCRIPTION? [20:52] It shows 5. I have three USB ports, a card slot, and A CF slot. Do you think the other two are those? [20:52] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me. My Network card is working, It can list the nearby networks... But it wont connect to them, even with the correct password! Could someone please help me? [20:53] Reptile_Skillz: what are you connecting to them to achieve? [20:53] A Conenction to surf the web [20:53] Reptile_Skillz: is it running a proxy software? [20:54] BluesKaj: It shows five. [20:54] Nope. [20:54] conall: use GRSYNC (a frontend for rsync) [20:54] Reptile_Skillz: do other systems connect to it ok? [20:54] Jaclyn, can you paste the output in pastebin [20:54] thanks luckyphuq [20:54] k [20:54] ActionParsnip, Yes, But same problem.. I dont get it. [20:55] Reptile_Skillz: can you ping 8.8.8.8 through the system? [20:55] ActionParsnip, Yeah, One sec. let me try that [20:56] ActionParsnip, Nope. It doesnt let me connect.. It keeps on saying Conenction for about 10 minuites before fail. [20:56] BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/VZhLBYeQ [20:56] everything worked ActionParsnip thank you [20:56] Reptile_Skillz: check routing then [20:57] some stuff won't play in firefox from usatoday.com - don't know what i'm missing [20:57] Wiz_KeeD: no wrries. The PPA makes life a lot easier [20:57] topper4125: here? :) [20:57] ActionParsnip, I have. Ive also rebooted my Router And Modem. [20:57] i saw these instructions on some other site using google but i never got which way is the best to go [20:57] using software center, apt-get from repositories, adding other repositories and then isntalling, using debs to install [20:57] Reptile_Skillz: why are you using a system to get web access if you have a router? [20:57] there are so many ways [20:58] Wiz_KeeD: there are lots of ways to do many things in any OS [20:58] yeah well installing in ubuntu has many of them :)) [20:58] ActionParsnip, No, I have a Wireless Router, And Im too far away to use a cable. I only have 1 cable in the house, And my Wireless card on my dekstop )Non Built In) Doesnt work [20:59] Reptile_Skillz: did you setup the connection sharing in the other OS correctly? [20:59] ActionParsnip, Yeah, I Did. My dad is even stumped on this one [20:59] Jaclyn, that looks very normal , perhaps your mouse only works with USB2.0 , the others appear to be the older USB version 1.1 [20:59] Reptile_Skillz: can you ping the sharing system ok? [21:00] ActionParsnip, Its not a sharing system. Im using the Router to give Wireless Inetrnet acces to my Computer [21:00] (Dekstop) [21:00] No [21:01] The mouse works with all USB ports [21:01] hello [21:01] Reptile_Skillz: so its a simple case of 'I cannot connect to my wireless router'? [21:01] In fact I usually plug it into that port [21:01] .-. [21:01] got problem with virtual - shared folder [21:01] any one wanna help? [21:01] ActionParsnip, No, I cant connect to ANY Wireless Connections even with the right passwords. No matter what I try [21:02] Reptile_Skillz: what wifi chip do you use? [21:02] ActionParsnip: read up on root user and sudo forum policy of ubuntu [21:02] i have to say i have been a doofus [21:02] ActionParsnip, D-Link DWL-G570 [21:02] ActionParsnip, Err, Lemme check on that [21:02] Reptile_Skillz: thats the adapter, not the chip [21:02] BluesKaj: my mouse is just a standard Dell wired mouse. You know, the old indestructable kind that's the same as a PS2 mouse except it's usb [21:03] ActionParsnip, I dont know what chip [21:03] And if that was the case, how come my USB storage devices and keyboard don't work in that port either? [21:03] bash/regexp - how to fetch everything before a comma "," in a string? [21:03] Reptile_Skillz: sudo lshw -C network will show the chip [21:03] ActionParsnip, I'm attemptimg to use TestDisk to recover my data [21:03] ok guys another problem, maybe you can still give a dog a bone ActionParsnip [21:04] !noroot | cheesecakes [21:04] cheesecakes: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [21:04] i've been to the dropbox site and did cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf - then ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd [21:04] Jaclyn, are all the other usb ports occupied , if not try eqach one [21:04] without downloading the deb or anything [21:04] what did those two commands do actually? [21:04] cheesecakes: I'm fully aware of the root password support in Ubuntu and uphold it in here [21:04] i got stuff in usr share icons [21:04] ActionParsnip, Nope, that shows me just a Help Page [21:04] and 2 in usr shareapt-install [21:05] Wiz_KeeD: downloads a file, then extracts it [21:05] BluesKaj: all of the other ones work [21:05] hmm i can't find it [21:05] I have ath9k wireless drivers.. the wireless cuts out randomly. This seems like a common problem but I've tried pretty much every solution out there, noting works [21:05] Wiz_KeeD, the wget part downloads dropbox x86 version [21:05] any1 wanna help me - virtual mashine - shared folder.. [21:05] yeah that i know [21:05] Wiz_KeeD: its in a hidden folder [21:05] untars by using the pipe [21:05] ok noroot it is [21:05] then runs a daemon [21:05] i'd like remove all that command did [21:05] cheesecakes: what do I need to read, please? [21:05] and install it from the software center [21:05] i like the thought process too [21:05] any1 wanna help me - virtual mashine - shared folder..?? [21:06] cheesecakes: its just smart, you can also control whom can use sudo with the group 'sudo', if you want a root console you can run: sudo -i [21:06] Curious question. What would happen if I tried installing ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on a maching that doesnt have 64bit hardware? [21:06] cheesecakes: so like I said, it's not needed [21:06] Machine* [21:06] you dont need to read anything... i was saying i read up [21:06] ActionParsnip, Ah, There we are [21:06] SierraAR: the installer won't let you [21:06] any ideeas on how i can remove all that those commands did? [21:06] and i liked the thought process :) [21:06] ActionParsnip, Would it be the Vendor? [21:07] SierraAR: you will get about 2 seconds of boot then the OS will tell you its not compatible [21:07] stupidbydefault: what's the problem you're having? [21:07] ActionParsnip, alright, thanks. Was wondering because there's this computer that I have no idea what it supports, wasn't sure if it'd break something [21:07] SierraAR: you can check online if the system has a make and model [21:08] Has anyone here used TestDisk successfully and remebers what the restore options are? [21:08] help? :-s [21:08] SierraAR: or if you grab a live CD / USB, you can run: cat /proc/cpuinfo and see the CPU, then look online, see what it can do [21:08] also recovering the ass [21:08] nop [21:08] *root password is a pain [21:08] SierraAR: If the system is even vaguely new, it'll probably be 64bit :) [21:09] cheesecakes: please keep to support questions/answers [21:09] ok sorry again [21:09] 64linux system has multiarch now [21:09] u can use both 32/64bit package [21:10] cheesecakes: no worries [21:10] ActionParsnip, when first ran the second command i got the small dropbox icon on the top left and it started syncing, now it doesn't start anymore and locate 'dropbox' just shows a few images and that it, and i cannot find the archive or it's contents, how can i remove everything else and have a fresh install of dropbox from the software center? [21:11] Wiz_KeeD: just delete the downloaded folder and run: sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox [21:14] Is this for ubuntu? [21:14] Shaun28382: yes [21:14] I have a question === Youri is now known as YBook [21:15] Would I be able to install ubuntu 12.10 on my PPC p5 Mac? [21:15] !ppc | Shaun28382 [21:15] Shaun28382: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [21:15] hy, all [21:15] i need help [21:16] stupidBYdefault: ask away [21:16] Yep this one's 64-bit alright. Anybody have any recommendations for free games to put on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 install that's for a 11 year old girl? [21:16] i run virtual box... and cant access shared folder [21:16] She likes games like club penguin and minecraft [21:17] stupidBYdefault: have you asked in #vbox [21:17] Jaclyn, the only thing I can think of is, that one USB port has lost power from the power supply connection , you'll just have to use one of the others [21:17] Umm [21:17] thnx, i will go there [21:17] As i read, So my PowerPc Mac P5 is able install? [21:17] stupidbydefault: are you running windoze in the vm? [21:17] stupidBYdefault: : add user to the gourp vbox [21:17] jap [21:17] Shaun28382: yes [21:17] *group [21:17] BluesKaj: No. It still has power to it. [21:17] then you can can access it [21:17] Thank you so much. But when i went to download before i forgot it took me to Server install instead desktop [21:17] SierraAR: add the playdeb PPA and you ca install lots of games there [21:19] Jaclyn, did you try a stick or something on it ? [21:19] SierraAR: http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb install that and then go crazy at: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.10/ [21:19] BluesKaj: I plugged an external fan into it. [21:19] And if it lost power, it wouldn't work when I boot up windows [21:20] ActionParsnip, will the things at the 12.10 link you give work for the 12.04 LTS version? [21:20] SierraAR: yes [21:20] ActionParsnip, k, thanks [21:21] SierraAR: no worres. Urban Terror is great if you like Counterstrike :) [21:22] Hello peoble, give a german chan for ubuntu?

Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [21:23] it this a good tutorial for installing lamp on ubuntu? [21:23] http://tuxtweaks.com/2012/04/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [21:23] Jaclyn: What's the make/model of the PC? [21:24] !lamp | Wiz_KeeD [21:24] Wiz_KeeD: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:24] or should i use taskel for it [21:24] ? [21:24] http://www.unixmen.com/install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat/ [21:25] what do you think ActionParsnip ? [21:25] Wiz_KeeD: its only 2 commands.... [21:26] the link you gave me configures the parts separately [21:26] and there's also sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ [21:26] I have today a ubuntu 12.10 install on a usb drive. Then have I install it on my new PC ubuntu and in the ending statium have the ubuntu installing not install the grup. Is a SSD Drive on have it installet. Can I from the ubuntu live install grup on the SSD Drive and find the ssd drive? [21:27] Wiz_KeeD install everything separately, It's good to know where everything is configured http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies [21:28] TJ-: Acer Extensa 4420 [21:28] hey guys [21:29] anybody here up for an off-topic challenge? (hint: might be fruit related?I know?) [21:29] Wiz_KeeD: did you even read Ubottu's link? [21:30] yes i did [21:30] Wiz_KeeD: so why are you using apt-get ..... [21:30] Wiz_KeeD: so I know you didn't read it.....or not properly [21:30] how do i close ubottu's window in irssi? [21:30] kj4: /win cl num [21:31] kj4: replace um with the number of the window [21:31] sudo apt-get install tasksel [21:31] Jaclyn: physically, can you describe which port it is that is causing the problem? left, right, front? [21:31] another question, i've recently formatted my ubuntu and previously i didn't have this problem but now my eyes really hurt when looking at the monitor [21:31] ActionParsnip: you rock, thanks. what does 'win' stand for? [21:32] i'm thinking this could be caused by some faulty video-drivers [21:32] from the silly ati-card [21:32] TJ-: The right hand side one. [21:32] alright guys. When trying to use sudo I'm getting "sudo: must be setuid root". my root account doesn't have a password. Any solution? [21:33] Jaclyn: According to the manual I'm looking at that model has 2 USB ports on the right side (followed by S-Video then Ethernet ports) ... is it one of them? [21:34] Wiz_KeeD: gimme a sec [21:34] TJ-: The one that Retard Squad didn't remove when the previous owner brought it in [21:34] ActionParsnip, i can give you more info about the laptop type, build and whatnot, been searching the web a bit but ati card ubuntu eyes hurt isn't exactly a very clear description of a problem [21:35] Jaclyn: Not sure I understand you. Do you mean that one of the ports there has been removed? But there should be two? [21:35] i can launch atalyst control center with this ActionParsnip gksudo amdcccle [21:35] and have some settings available [21:36] Wiz_KeeD: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Screenshot.png [21:37] ActionParsnip, i've finished that it's done :) [21:37] Wiz_KeeD: again, why are you using apt-get when you SAY you read the page. Where does it say apt-get? [21:37] when installing tasksel? [21:37] Wiz_KeeD: yes, install taskel, then use that to install the package is what the page says :) [21:37] i did that thank you [21:37] now my eyes pose a bigger problem :)) [21:38] Wiz_KeeD: so you didn't read it [21:38] maybe we're not talking about the same thing [21:38] my eye LITERALLY hurt because of some video configuration [21:38] which never happened before with the previous installation [21:39] dunno if it's contrast, refresh rate, or some faulty drivers and i don't know where to begin fixing the problem [21:42] 我轻轻的走，带走所有云彩? [21:42] !cn | kurtcocaine [21:42] kurtcocaine: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [21:43] guys [21:43] Evening folks. Anyone has any idea how to prevent module from loading in xorg.conf? [21:43] shouldn't vim be installed with ubuntu? [21:44] Wiz_KeeD: Not in 12.04 it isn't [21:44] Wiz_KeeD: not by default [21:44] http://pastie.org/5429138 [21:44] why does this only happen to me? :) [21:44] alright guys. When trying to use sudo I'm getting "sudo: must be setuid root". my root account doesn't have a password. Any solution? [21:45] Wiz_KeeD: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [21:45] nashant, ubuntu has no root account. [21:45] OerHeks: it does, its just not able to be logged in to [21:45] ok, OerHeks, how do I get my sudo working? [21:45] OerHeks: go sudo su [21:45] 'precise' ActionParsnip [21:45] what is that? [21:46] kurtcocaine: sudo -i is advised [21:46] nashant, the first user has root privelidge [21:46] Wiz_KeeD: and the output of: apt-cache policy vim vim-common [21:46] http://pastie.org/5429148 [21:47] what has happened, vim-common is installed and broken or what? [21:47] nashant: your first user is in a group called 'sudo' which gives access to the sudo command, when you need admin power, prefix the command with suo [21:47] OerHeks, when I try to use sudo, I get the error above. When I try su, it asks for a password and nothing works [21:47] should i remove, purge it then reinstall or smth? [21:47] sudo bash [21:47] why did this happen in the first place? [21:47] I think would also wwork [21:47] nashant: what error does sudo give? [21:47] ActionParsnip, when I try to sudo I get 'sudo: must be setuid root' [21:48] nashant: is this on a VPS by any chance?> [21:48] VPS? [21:48] nashant: Virtual Private Server [21:48] Wiz_KeeD: sudo apt-get --purge remove vim-common; sudo apt-get install vim [21:48] like a dedicated server but with low specs [21:48] answer is no [21:48] Wiz_KeeD: run: sudo apt-get clean first [21:48] can you tell me why this happened ActionParsnip ? [21:48] Hi everybody, can any one help me with a kinda odd problem? I have an external keyboard plugged into my laptop running lubuntu 12.10, but i'm not able to type "@" and other special characters until i type something (anything) on the built in keyboard... (it's an english system, with danish keyboard, lubuntu 12.10)... everything works fine on LinuxMint but as i remember i had the same problem on Ubuntu a while back [21:48] what does clean do? [21:48] i did it [21:49] now purge and remove? [21:49] ah, nope. it's a portable image [21:49] Wiz_KeeD: you have vim-common installed from somewhere other then the ubuntu repos, it is causing the issues [21:49] MroiZo: Ubuntu sux, rather use Mint then [21:49] how the hell did that get installed? from what? it's a fresh new install of ubuntu :o [21:49] Wiz_KeeD: now when you install the package the deps can be met [21:49] I couldn't get my soundcard to work on ubuntu [21:49] worked fine on mint [21:49] Wiz_KeeD: the clean command removes the cache of packages you downloaded using install ad upgrade [21:50] kurtcocaine, yeah i know, but i'm on a Asus eee 1215n and it likes a lightweight system better... [21:50] nice! :D [21:50] ActionParsnip: Not a VPS. It's a portable image for linuxonandroid [21:50] it seems to be working [21:50] I wanted to increase the size of the image [21:50] nashant: what is the output of: ls -l `which sudo`; lsb_release -sc [21:50] MroiZo: I like your nick, Mr Oizo is cool, install debian, like the lightweight version, think there is one, debian also has apt-get (ubuntu is a fork of debian) [21:51] it worked, many thanks ActionParsnip [21:51] kurtcocaine: why not install ubuntu mini then install openbox if you like lightweight [21:52] kurtcocaine, i'm thinking going back to mint, and just installing xfce or lxde [21:52] MroiZo: Debian has an xfce version and lxde if i recall correctly. [21:52] MroiZo: install ubuntu mini, then install openbox and your OS willbe little over 1Gb installed [21:53] Or install OpenBSD =P === Mongolski` is now known as ZelDelet_ [21:53] ActionParsnip, but the problem is that my external keyboard doesn't work properly on ubuntu... and i don't know why [21:53] TJ-: Yes, there were two USB ports there, but one of them got removed. [21:53] MroiZo: are there bugs reported? [21:54] ActionParsnip: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45180 Nov 24 21:12 /usr/bin/sudo [21:54] nashant: and: lsb_release -sc [21:55] mmmmk time to rebuild this install [21:55] » o.o [21:55] ActionParsnip: sorry, I left out the 'precise' on a new line after that last one, and for this one just 'precise' [21:55] ActionParsnip, i don't know... [21:55] nashant: sudo chmod +t /usr/bin/sudo [21:55] wasnt able to keep my stuff from the upgrade and have the features i want [21:55] MroiZo: I suggest you report one then [21:55] Where do i do that? [21:56] ActionParsnip: sudo: must be setuid root [21:56] Jaclyn: OK, well that sounds dicey to begin with! I'd suspect that the broken port alongside it is being detected by the driver and it decides to shut down both those ports for safety. I'd suggest restarting in Recovery mode from the GRUB menu, which will also make the kernel do debug logging, then examine "/var/log/dmesg" looking for any clues from the USB driver that it is shutting off the ports or finding some fault. [21:56] nashant: but if you run: ls -l /usr/bin/sudo do you see: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 123360 Nov 16 14:42 /usr/bin/sudo [21:57] hello, I've just installed 12.10 on a laptop and can't get wireless to work [21:57] nashant: notice the -rwsr at the beginning :) [21:57] zimzim: what wifi chip? [21:57] i think i would have died without vim ActionParsnip [21:58] ls [21:58] ls [21:58] who [21:58] sorry [21:58] kj4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:58] Wiz_KeeD: no idea where you got vim-comon, but we removed it and all is well [21:58] ActionParsnip: I got -rwxr at the beginning [21:58] not sure, how do i check? [21:58] indeed it is, but it's very uncomfortable for me when things happen and i don't know why or what did it, the lack of control is disturbing [21:58] nashant: then reboot to root recovery mode and you can do it there as root [21:58] !of [21:58] TJ-: Thanks. I'll try that. [21:59] Wiz_KeeD: there is no lack of control i Ubuntu [21:59] when i'm using it there is :)) [21:59] and you cannot fully control the packages you install and whatnot [21:59] strange anyway [21:59] Wiz_KeeD: sure you can, you can install and uninstall packages as you want [22:00] ActionParsnip: how do I do that from the command line? I'm running a portable image [22:00] Why do Multiverse is activate by default ? [22:00] nashant: same command. [22:01] Same command? [22:01] ActionParsnip: I've done lshw -C network, what info do you want to know?

I can't seem to install LibreOffice or GIMP. (Ubuntu 11.10) === Strife is now known as Guest75339 [22:04] For LibreOffice, I get "The following packages have unmet dependencies: libreoffice: Depends: libreoffice-core (= 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1~oneiric1) but 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1~oneiric1 is to be installed" [22:04] I do have a lot of software sources, though. [22:06] Anyone? I'm in somewhat of an emergency. [22:06] BlueProtoman: why, isn't libreoffice already installed? [22:06] ActionParsnip: I accidentally uninstalled it. I'm trying to reinstall it. === jrgifford is now known as Guest99330 [22:07] No, I'm not sure how I did that, either. [22:07] BlueProtoman: can you run: lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy libreoffice libreoffice-core use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [22:08] just use the ubuntu software center to install or reinstall Libre Office. [22:08] Freewill: there appears to be a version conflict [22:09] ActionParsnip: are you using Xubuntu? [22:09] Freewill: no but I have in the past [22:09] in the NM the VPN connections uses PPTP, does this requires OpenVPN ? [22:10] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CaRH4vxJ [22:10] ActionParsnip: Whatever flavor of Ubuntu you are using, first try updating your OS via update manager. [22:10] Freewill: I got an error message, which I just described. [22:10] Freewill: I don't have an issue in Ubuntu :) [22:11] I'm unable to get OpenDNS working, set the IP in the NM but when verifying it still not working [22:11] BlueProtoman: you are using a PPA, and probably the cause of your issue [22:11] SpaceRocket: If you do "sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-openvpn" it'll support openVPN too [22:11] ActionParsnip: OK, so how can I fix this issue? [22:12] BlueProtoman: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep libreoffice | awk {'print $2'}` [22:12] TJ-, so which VPN server supports PPTP ? [22:12] BlueProtoman: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install libreoffice [22:13] xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/ea7d6007929aacf066c3403c32a5e655.jpg [22:13] SpaceRocket: pptp-linux [22:13] I've been trying to get wine installed on 12.10 (x64) and I'm running into unmet dependency issues [22:14] q_plaz: did you add the wine ppa?

[22:15] ActionParsnip: I did not see your previously posted error message. can you repost it, and do you get the error msg after launching LibreOffice? [22:15] ActionParsnip: I did not [22:15] q_plaz: good [22:15] BlueProtoman: remove the PPA and all remove the libreoffice packages, then install from the official Ubuntu repos [22:16] This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10, just did all my upgrades and couldn't install it [22:17] Freewill: he has no error message posted, he has no problem, he is trying to help solving one [22:18] guntber: thx for the clarification.
