| [1]Cameron | Can anyone tell me a modern printer that will work with ubuntu that is under 50 USD? | 00:00 |
| gustav__ | jrib: Software contains bugs. | 00:00 |
| Rustyblade3 | what do u mean | 00:00 |
| JohnTeddy | [1]Cameron: B/W or color? | 00:01 |
| Rustyblade3 | Run what? | 00:01 |
| [1]Cameron | Um, both | 00:01 |
| jrib | gustav__: gcalctool explicitly says the "-" button is subtraction | 00:01 |

| JohnTeddy | bkc_: I do know about it in my head. | 00:02 |
| gustav__ | jrib: Maybe they should change the button text. | 00:02 |
| jrib | gustav__: why? | 00:02 |
| [1]Cameron | Preferrably one i can pick up at Walmart or Besty Buy? | 00:02 |
| JohnTeddy | It's translating that into programming/calc syntax. | 00:02 |

| [1]Cameron | yes | 00:02 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: without the quotes... | 00:02 |
| [1]Cameron | I wasn't sure if all Brother printers were supported by Ubuntu | 00:03 |
| JohnTeddy | [1]Cameron: I would say it's a safe bet. | 00:03 |
| [1]Cameron | Alright thank you guys very much | 00:03 |
| gmachine_24 | Cameron, it's never safe to assume all ....... well, there you have it. | 00:03 |
| Ben64 | from what i've seen, canon printers are the only troublesome ones | 00:03 |

| Rustyblade3 | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 00:44 |
| Rustyblade3 | wine : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed | 00:44 |
| Rustyblade3 | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 00:44 |
| CQN | brady: well duh, you need to specify libusb | 00:44 |
| CQN | that way it'll build the dependencies for libusb | 00:44 |

| orkhan | i need a help | 00:45 |
| orkhan | please | 00:45 |
| mickster04 | orkhan: sudo apt-get install skype in terminal; | 00:45 |
| orkhan | i doesnt work | 00:45 |
| brady | yes but when you say specify... i have no idea how that translates to what i actually type. if I knew what to do, i would be doing it. | 00:45 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3:give us the output of sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:45 |
| escott | brady, how do you know that upgrading libusb is what you need | 00:45 |
| mickster04 | orkhan: how? | 00:45 |
| mickster04 | !doesn't work | 00:46 |
| ubot93 | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 00:46 |
| question | ttydragon > didnt know about existence of .local/share/apllications it is invisble in home dir magde file .desktop there and did put "drracket' in it and now? | 00:46 |
| brady | i dont escott.. im just trying to get a usb driver so i can use my projector. | 00:46 |
| OerHeks | orkhan, enable partner repo in software centre / sources | 00:46 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: open up synaptic again and go to Edit -> Fix Broken Packages | 00:46 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1393284/ | 00:46 |
| escott | brady, i dont think libusb will do anything for you | 00:46 |
| roasted | Question - is there any possible way to view multiple RTSP streams within a single instance of VLC? Or perhaps stream multiple instances through a web browser? Or some sort of other app? | 00:47 |
| Rustyblade3 | ok when i do that the app just flashed once | 00:47 |
| brady | i searched usb projector driver, and read that they had done stuff with that to make it support usb projectors | 00:47 |
| OerHeks | Ben64, see his sources with wine 1.5 ppa | 00:47 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: now try installing wine again | 00:47 |
| Ben64 | OerHeks: yeah? | 00:48 |
| question | roaster > i'm as new as one can be | 00:48 |
| troll` | OHI | 00:48 |
| troll` | My ubuntu crashes often. | 00:49 |
| Erin | troll`, describe crashes ? | 00:49 |
| troll` | It crashed the other day, the screen stopped working | 00:49 |
| Erin | hrm. like it wasn't responding any more ? | 00:50 |
| troll` | Yes, all the icons were gone | 00:50 |
| Rustyblade3 | it says i need wine1.4 to install | 00:50 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: try 1.5 | 00:50 |
| escott | brady, when you plugin the projector what do you see in dmesg | 00:50 |
| Erin | troll`, weird did you check /var/log/syslog | 00:51 |
| escott | brady, ie plug it in and type "dmesg | tail -n 20" | 00:51 |
| troll` | had to restart | 00:51 |
| OerHeks | Ben64, >> <Rustyblade3> what i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1393216/ | 00:51 |
| troll` | Says something about path error | 00:51 |
| mickster04 | troll`: the other day is often? | 00:51 |
| Erin | can you pastebin the error ? | 00:51 |
| troll` | Yes | 00:51 |
| troll` | Nope | 00:51 |
| sam_nazarko | LVM is showing no logical volume | 00:52 |
| mickster04 | OerHeks: Ben64 he has the same repo twice, in fact two repo's twice :p | 00:52 |
| sam_nazarko | what do I do? This is on a new system so no backup file | 00:52 |
| Rustyblade3 | i think it is fixed now | 00:52 |
| brady | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1393293/ | 00:52 |
| troll` | So why is ubuntu crashing? | 00:52 |
| mickster04 | troll`: we dunno because you haven't given us an error message | 00:53 |

| troll` | SO WHY IS UBUTUNU CRHASING? | 00:56 |

| bustacap | Can someone please walk me through the steps of restoring grub after installing windows? | 00:56 |
| escott | !grub | bustacap | 00:57 |

| mickster04 | !grub | 00:57 |
| mickster04 | :p | 00:57 |
| mickster04 | troll`: because it is broken | 00:57 |
| bustacap | escott, ty :P | 00:57 |
| bustacap | Wasn't the bots name ubotu before? | 00:58 |
| escott | bustacap, different bot | 00:58 |
| bustacap | Oh :P | 00:58 |
| sam_nazarko | so can i restore the lvm or not | 00:58 |
| escott | !gender | 00:58 |
| ubot93 | yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) | 00:58 |
| Darkstar1 | aahh forgot this OS is a RHEL variant | 00:58 |
| dr_willis | it evolved | 00:58 |
| escott | bustacap, apparently this one is also a girl | 00:59 |
| bustacap | Ohhhhhh | 00:59 |
| bustacap | Makes sense :P | 00:59 |
| escott | bustacap, not a lot of men in that family for some reason | 00:59 |
| Darkstar1 | adios amigos | 00:59 |
| escott | Darkstar1, ubuntu is not related to RHEL | 00:59 |
| bustacap | ''/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).'' | 00:59 |
| brady | escott, did you see my pastebin? | 00:59 |
| Darkstar1 | escott: I know. | 01:00 |
| escott | brady, now i do | 01:00 |
| Rustyblade3 | ben still cant install wine :( | 01:00 |
| Darkstar1 | escott: I just realised that the OS on this remote was RHEL that's why I'm having issues :) | 01:00 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: fine, gimme ssh | 01:01 |
| Rustyblade3 | how? | 01:01 |
| Rustyblade3 | i has a ssh viewer but.. | 01:02 |
| Ben64 | sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 01:02 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Hello? | 01:02 |
| Rustyblade3 | k installed it | 01:02 |
| escott | brady, and when plugged in xrandr does not recognize it | 01:02 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: then you need to open port 22 for me to connect and either give me your user/pass or make a new one for me, or change your current password | 01:03 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Ooh, my name failed. I suppose that's off-topic..> | 01:03 |
| TheDifferentTurr | I'm very new here so excuse me if I fail | 01:03 |
| Rustyblade3 | how do i open port 22? | 01:03 |
| TheDifferentTurr | But, I'm having quite a bit of trouble setting up my wireless internet on Ubuntu. I can't connect at all. | 01:03 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: you'd have to do it through your router | 01:04 |
| Rustyblade3 | how... | 01:04 |
| brady | xrandr? | 01:04 |
| Ben64 | i'm not going to show you how to use your router ... | 01:04 |
| del_ | !samba | 01:04 |
| ubot93 | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 01:04 |
| Erin | Rustyblade3, go to the port forwarding section and open port 22 tcp/udp | 01:04 |
| Erin | and put the IP of the comp its running on, the server | 01:04 |
| Rustyblade3 | So how do i send u a user/pass safely? | 01:05 |
| Erin | Rustyblade3, dont give anyone ssh access ..... | 01:05 |
| Erin | I think you need to do some reading before you set up an ssh server | 01:05 |
| Rustyblade3 | ben can ya do it? | 01:07 |
| escott | brady, i gather it doesnt see the projector in the displays configuration | 01:07 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Can I have some help connecting to the internet...? xD | 01:07 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: you still need to open the port | 01:07 |
| Rustyblade3 | HOW?? | 01:08 |
| Ben64 | i give up | 01:08 |
| rootyour | nobody is here | 01:08 |
| TheDifferentTurr | I wouldn't say that... | 01:08 |
| question | how to connect .rkt files to DrRacket Application? | 01:08 |
| Rustyblade3 | yeah see.. | 01:09 |
| roasted | Question - is there any way to stream multiple RTSP instances at oncein VLC? | 01:09 |
| Rustyblade3 | I wasted 2 hours thinking someone would help me install wine... | 01:09 |
| question | roasted > can't help you , i'm new | 01:09 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Well I can't even connect to the internet on my ubuntu desktop... | 01:10 |
| roasted | question: Iwasn't asking you...I was simply saying that in regard to the fact that I had a question. :) | 01:10 |
| TheDifferentTurr | I'm very new, though, so I figured I would need help | 01:10 |
| question | roasted ok ;) | 01:10 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: you messed it up in the first place to be honest. you haven't paid anyone for support and we aren't paid for this either | 01:11 |
| Rustyblade3 | i am sorry but i am just frustrated | 01:11 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Can anyone help me simply connecting to the internet? | 01:11 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Like the Ubuntu wiki wasn't very helpful... | 01:11 |
| question | how does ubuntu know wich application t use for a certain file extention? | 01:12 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: if there is a way for you to reset your sources list | 01:12 |
| mickster04 | !sources | 01:12 |
| ubot93 | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 01:12 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: then try install it again from scratch | 01:12 |
| escott | question, it doesnt go strictly by extension, but there is mime type database | 01:12 |
| nongoogle | TheDifferentTurr can you tell the device you use to connect? a a phoneline modem, an ethernet cable, or a wifi adapter? | 01:12 |
| Rustyblade3 | everytime i try to install wine it says I need wine 1.4 | 01:12 |
| Rustyblade3 | i dont think its the repos | 01:13 |
| question | escot > where can i find that mime type db? | 01:13 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: you have the same sources listed twice | 01:13 |
| TheDifferentTurr | nongoogle yes I can I use a wifi adapter. The computer I'm trying to connect has a NetGear Wireless Card, and the network I'm trying to connect it to is a WPA2 personal | 01:13 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: that won't help[ | 01:14 |
| nongoogle | do you use the current 12.10 ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| question | escott where is this mime type db located? | 01:14 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Err...I use Lubuntu, but I've heard from everyone that connecting to the network is the same on both. And I use 12.10 Lubuntu | 01:15 |
| nongoogle | i just had to select my wireless service when ubuntu got installed | 01:15 |
| nongoogle | oh ok | 01:15 |
| brandinhess | Hello | 01:15 |
| nongoogle | i just clicked on the wedge icon and selected my network | 01:15 |
| TheDifferentTurr | the Lubuntu chat isn't very responsive... | 01:15 |
| TheDifferentTurr | Well it doesn't automatically detect on mine | 01:15 |
| TheDifferentTurr | and for some reason I entered all the info but I must've done it wrong as it didn't work | 01:15 |
| brandinhess | Does anyone know if there is an encyclopedia program out there similar to that of Britannica, but for Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| nongoogle | ;-; | 01:15 |
| nongoogle | i prolly dont know enough to halp | 01:16 |
| nongoogle | but i hope you get assistance soon | 01:16 |
| TheDifferentTurr | So do I | 01:16 |
| roasted | Question - is there any way to stream multiple RTSP instances at oncein VLC? | 01:17 |
| escott | brandinhess, firefox http://www.wikipedia.com | 01:17 |
| brandinhess | roasted: No, unfortunately not. | 01:17 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | How Can i extract this again? http://www.egghelp.org/cgi-bin/tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=247 | 01:17 |
| jpastore | I recently upgraded to 12.04. I noticed that when I do my dev testing perl scripts printing to STDERR no longer show up. what happened here? can someone point me to a work around. I see alternatives, while great for new dev, I have a ton of scripts that test for a debug level set and print to STDERR accordingly. I would like to get that working again. | 01:17 |
| roasted | brandinhess: do youknow of a way to get an RTSP stream to work in a browser? If so Icould just write my own html/css page containing the two streams. | 01:18 |
| brandinhess | escott: I need something that doesn't require an internet connection. | 01:18 |
| brandinhess | roasted: I haven't dealt with RTSP streams for years, and I know they have changed since then. | 01:18 |
| xangua | brandinhess: you can download/bought an offline version of wikipedia | 01:18 |
| ek | Anyone here willing to help a fellow Ubuntu user get his bootloader installed properly? ;) | 01:18 |
| roasted | :( | 01:19 |
| brandinhess | xangua: How? | 01:19 |

| Zal | Hi. I'm running "apt-get upgrade -y" in a script. Until today, it worked fine, but today it is prompting (see http://bpaste.net/show/xQUhXWNFR019nMn4qYoO/ ). Why is it prompting, and how can I get it to stop? | 01:24 |
| Zal | I've tried setting dpkg options to ignore the one package, but that just gives me other prompts about removing deprecated packages. I've also tried adding an environment variable for non-interactive apt, which also has no effect. | 01:25 |
| === Guest3733 is now known as Adeel | ||
| === Adeel is now known as Guest62095 | ||
| Zal | that is, I tried "export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive", which did not have any effect. | 01:28 |
| shoopdewoop | Jordan_U did you have any more ideas about my 12.10 installer crash? I can put up the screenshot again if you'd like | 01:30 |
| jrib | Zal: it explains why it's prompting | 01:31 |
| Zal | jrib, yes, I understand what the prompt is asking. When I tell dpkg to ignore that package it does so, but then prompts about removing deprecated packages. | 01:31 |
| jrib | Zal: pastebin | 01:32 |
| Zal | There doesn't seem to be a way to get it to NOT prompt. | 01:32 |
| jrib | Zal: tell it what you want it to do... | 01:32 |
| Zal | how? | 01:32 |
| Zal | This script worked fine for years, until today. | 01:32 |
| Zal | so something outside changed | 01:33 |
| jrib | Zal: there's probably a dpkg option. Scripts like these seem dangerous | 01:33 |
| === igor__ is now known as igor__we | ||
| Zal | yeah, I tried the dpkg option, it didn't work | 01:33 |
| jrib | Zal: "the dpkg option" being? | 01:33 |
| igor__we | tcnm [nj heccrbq& | 01:33 |
| Zal | well, as I stated above, I tried setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive for starters, nothing. | 01:34 |
| igor__we | Есть хто русский? | 01:34 |
| jrib | Zal: that wouldn't do anything in this situation | 01:34 |
| Zal | Also tried was DPkg::Options="--force-confold", but that was someone else, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to do. | 01:34 |
| Zal | The real question is though -- why did this suddently STOP working? What is the difference? | 01:35 |
| jrib | Zal: so read its description, so you understand what you are donig. | 01:35 |
| jrib | Zal: as the message you pasted says, there was a modification made to the configuration file | 01:35 |
| Zal | but this has always been so. | 01:35 |
| Zal | and the script never prompted before today. | 01:35 |

| [1]Cameron | Ok where is the ISO file to burn to a disc? | 01:53 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, intel raid, gpt? ie what does sudo parted -l say | 01:53 |

| almoxarife | shoopdewoop: d/l mini.iso , go thru the same routine to get it on usb, then boot it and follow the directions, its all network d/l | 01:58 |
| Evil_Eric | nm | 01:58 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, sdb is throwing some kind of error. thats probably the source of your problems | 01:59 |

| === jrgifford is now known as Guest87195 | ||
| shoopdewoop | escott: do you think almoxarife's network d/l idea is a good next step? | 02:00 |
| [1]Cameron | Thanks, Winrar was confusing it | 02:00 |
| GunfighterJ | Yeah ports are configured and can be seen, I don't get why it would still actively refuse the connection | 02:00 |
| almoxarife | GunfighterJ: the port is closed, verify you are talking to the right port | 02:01 |
| GunfighterJ | I am talking with the correct port, however I don't know if vnc4server is configured to use 5900, I can't find documentation on setting it to work on that port | 02:01 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, the error message is from partman so its related to the disk partitions | 02:01 |

| shoopdewoop | escott, what would you suggest? | 02:02 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, figure out what sdb is and remove it | 02:02 |
| shoopdewoop | escott: *noob question* how could I figure out what it is? | 02:03 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, sudo lshw -C disk; or read through the output of dmesg | 02:04 |
| almoxarife | shoopdewoop: the partition you are installing to is a hard-drive correct? | 02:04 |
| Kpwn | hi what's up? | 02:04 |
| almoxarife | shoopdewoop: it must be, you are installing grub on sda | 02:05 |
| DrManhattan | what is the command i use to watch my temps? For instance "foo -n 3 sensors"? | 02:05 |
| shoopdewoop | escott, thanks I'll try that; almoxarife, yes I'm trying to install it to the harddrive, but it crashes before I can configure the partitions | 02:05 |
| escott | DrManhattan, watch | 02:05 |
| h00k | DrManhattan: are you looking for 'watch'? 'watch -c somecommandhere' | 02:05 |

| shoopdewoop | escott: hmm, it looks like sdb might be the recovery partition that came set up for win7 | 02:08 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, no its a disk | 02:08 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, a1,a2,a3 are your windows partitions | 02:09 |

| escott | shoopdewoop, and i dont know if that is going to work for you or not | 02:20 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, there might be a device mapper driver for that | 02:21 |
| shoopdewoop | escott, i'm not sure what that means | 02:21 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, you might try disabling the smart response to install ubuntu and then blacklisting the sdb device | 02:22 |
| Evil_Eric | well i love linux but i love functionality more | 02:22 |
| Evil_Eric | bbl | 02:22 |
| shoopdewoop | escott, hmm, so would it still be usable after the installation? | 02:23 |
| TandyUK | ubuntu desktop 12.04.1 x64 refuses to boot.. downloaded the iso twice, md5sum'd it, and verrified the disc the second time | 02:24 |
| escott | shoopdewoop, unless someone has written a device mapper driver of some kind (which they probably havent bothered to) the SSD and smart response will not work in linux. Its possible that you can just bypass it and go straight to sda with linux and leave windows to talk through SRT, or it might be that doing so completely corrupts both disks | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | what does it do exactly TandyUK | 02:25 |
| TandyUK | other discs boot fine, and i can boot other disc burned in exactly the same way. it just sits at "attempting to boot from cd/dvd" on bios | 02:25 |
| TandyUK | ony spins the disc up for a brief period then appears to stop all attepts to access it | 02:26 |

| shoopdewoop | escott, thanks for the tip, i'll check them out | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | TandyUK: tried that disk on other machines? | 02:29 |
| TandyUK | 2 discs freshly downloaded, md5'd etc | 02:30 |
| toafan | Farnaby: looks like it might be a mounted file. What do you get when you right-click on it? | 02:30 |
| escott | Farnaby, virtual machine? | 02:30 |
| TandyUK | i havent tried it on another machine but i cant see 2 different copies failing in exactly the same way | 02:30 |
| Farnaby | toafan, the option to mount and format. | 02:30 |
| Farnaby | escott, I don't remember making one..... | 02:30 |

| toafan | (just double-checking) | 02:32 |
| Farnaby | nope | 02:32 |
| Farnaby | That was my first thought | 02:33 |

| ubot93 | escott: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 02:33 |
| toafan | Farnaby: it says file though... makes me wonder how you got it in the first place. Have you mounted any files (specifficly any ISOs)? | 02:34 |
| c_smith | dr_willis, I take it there's a wiki page detailing the issue I'm having? | 02:34 |
| iIlL0oO | how to cat a.txt to xclipboard ? | 02:34 |
| escott | iIlL0oO, you should just be able to "xclip a.txt" | 02:34 |
| iIlL0oO | escott: thank you | 02:34 |
| Farnaby | Made a 12.04 usb disc yesterday which is, I am sure related toafan | 02:35 |
| escott | iIlL0oO, failing that cat a.txt | xclip should work | 02:35 |
| iIlL0oO | escott: on 12.04 , xlip is default installed ? | 02:35 |
| TandyUK | ok boots fine on a different machine, but shares the same new style loader | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | c_smith: id check askubuntu.com | 02:35 |
| toafan | I've just installed a keylogger on my system. I'm trying to configure it to start with the computer. Learning about init files now, any other ideas? | 02:36 |
| TandyUK | given that http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr62x/linux/Install_Ubuntu_RR62x.pdf appears to be from the 9.10 era, perhaps a beter question would be | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | c_smith: ive seen some tweaker tools with the feature also. i thibk its mime type editing | 02:36 |
| TandyUK | with 12.04, how do i load th highpoint rr620 drivers at install time, so that i can install ubuntu to a raid 1 array on said controller? | 02:36 |
| iIlL0oO | escott: Error: another clipboard is already running | 02:37 |
| toafan | Farnaby: My thoughts would be to track down the file that drive icon represents, and to try editing your 'places' menu | 02:37 |
| c_smith | dr_willis, alright, that's just what I needed, time for Google. | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | c_smith: id check askubuntu.com first | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | i bet its been asked there a dozen times | 02:38 |
| Farnaby | Somehow I always get wierd things like this toafan but I guess its time to see what I can do | 02:38 |
| Farnaby | First things first, since its not mountable... actually I should try restarting first. | 02:39 |
| escott | iIlL0oO, what was your command? | 02:39 |
| Farnaby | Somehow I alawys forget the easiest thing | 02:39 |
| iIlL0oO | escott: xclipboard a.txt | 02:40 |
| toafan | Farnaby: I feel like I missed something. In review: you've got this mystery drive icon, and it's not mountable? | 02:40 |
| escott | iIlL0oO, xclipboard is a gui, you seldom use that in a modern environment. you need to install xclip | 02:41 |
| iIlL0oO | escott: thank you | 02:41 |
| toafan | shucks, missed 'im | 02:41 |
| toafan | Well, I just discoverd my keylogger's startup file in init.d. Guess I'm good. | 02:42 |
| Farnaby | fyi: don't be a dummy, restart before jumping to conclusions. Otherwise you end up like me! | 02:44 |
| Farnaby | And with that.... its time for a beer and sons of anarchy I think. | 02:46 |
| c_smith | hmmmmm...... looking at the mime types file, the file extension (.exe) is there, just Wine isn't detected by Nautilus | 02:47 |

| rccola329 | I use the same cd/iso on my laptop it detects hdd as expected | 04:29 |
| rccola329 | this pc has acted this way with all linux distros since I first got the pc in 09 maybe 10' | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | sounds like a controller isue. but no idea on a fix | 04:32 |
| rccola329 | is that related to the motherboard? or the actual IDE cable? | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | ssee if the live cds can mount the hd. | 04:33 |
| rccola329 | good idea. | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | is it ide or sata, | 04:33 |
| rccola329 | its old its ide i believe I havent opened it up in a while though | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | early sata i recall had some bios settings i had to mess with | 04:34 |
| === marvin is now known as Guest15434 | ||
| rccola329 | alright I'll check out the livecd mounting and look around the bios. the pc can load up the full live system i do know that | 04:35 |
| Darkstar1 | ..... | 04:37 |
| Darkstar1 | ….. | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | partition it by hand then start the installer perhaps | 04:37 |
| rccola329 | the bios has an option ATA/IDE Mode <Enhanced (Native)> and Legacy, think legacy should be enabled? | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | hard to tell try them both | 04:38 |
| rccola329 | Problem with partitioning it by hand is that I cant do it from outside of windows unless im installing windows | 04:38 |
| n0sq | hmm, i think i need to flash my DVD firmware on my XPS since it's not reading some double layer dvd's (other drives read the dvd's) but i can't find any firmware upgrades | 04:38 |
| rccola329 | i want to get rid of windows completely and the live cd isn't showing the drive | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | rccola329: use gparted on live cd | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | if gparted dosent see it.. th | 04:39 |
| rccola329 | when loading the installer it says "ata3: link is slow to respond, please be patient" | 04:43 |

| selite | How do I call two different commands with one name in Ubuntu? For example instead of calling javac hello.java and java hello, I would only need to call rn hello? | 04:48 |
| selite | Is such a thing possible in Ubuntu terminal? | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | umask of 0002 is commonly used fluxy . the ntfs-3g homepage has other | 04:49 |

| tom_ | I was using Ubuntu software center to install applications, and tried clicking on matlab (and then realized that it didn't actually install matlab) ... ever since the, the installer for matlab has been stuck at a window called "Matlab Interface Configuration", which was brilliantly designed without an option to cancel or close | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | selite: use a bash scriot | 04:49 |
| tom_ | It's blocking me from installing anything | 04:49 |
| fluxy | @dr_willis: I want to restrict read/write access of that partition to one single user | 04:49 |
| selite | dr_willis: How do I build such a script? | 04:50 |
| tom_ | And if I pkill matlab-support, then it just starts up next time I reboot and try to use synaptic | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | selite: its not clear to me what you want to do. | 04:50 |
| === Aaron is now known as Guest96206 | ||
| selite | dr_willis: Here, for example I want to compile and run java code, first I have to compile it with javac hello.java and then run it with java hello. I am trying to achieve this with a single command. | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | fluxy: id say chech the examples. | 04:51 |
| selite | dr_willis: For C code I would use makefile but for java I have to somehow make a tweak. | 04:51 |
| === Guest96206 is now known as Aaron | ||
| dr_willis | selite: thats a trivial bash script | 04:51 |
| lime__ | I was manually adding a new keyboard layout be editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, evdev.xml, and evdev.lst but now no layouts will display in the keyboard manager | 04:52 |
| selite | Yay, tell me how to write it. | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | like 3 lines | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | just put the commands in a file and make it executable | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | or use an alias. | 04:52 |
| lime__ | The keyboard manager under settings displays nothing under keyboard options, Is there a way to reset the xkb? | 04:53 |
| hittt | how can i edit this unity thing | 04:53 |
| hittt | is there any preferences anywhere | 04:53 |
| heoyea | nop | 04:53 |
| dr_willis | alias foo='command 1 ; command 2' | 04:53 |
| tom_ | How can I cancel matlab from trying to install itself. I can kill the installer with pkill, but it just comes back when I try to restart synaptic or ubuntu software center ... | 04:53 |
| selite | dr_willis: But it has to accept an argument. | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | hittt: seeral settings and 3rd party tweak tools exist | 04:55 |
| selite | dr_willis: "rn fileName" will do this "javac fileName.java" and then "java fileName". | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | selite: bash can do that vua $1 variable | 04:55 |
| heoyea | tom_: wait for it to finish then uninstall | 04:55 |
| hittt | where are the 3rd party tweak tools? im not waiting for gnome devels to ever make this thing better | 04:55 |
| selite | dr_willis: How? | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | selite: alias cant.. i think | 04:55 |

| heoyea | selite: use functions instead of alias | 04:56 |
| tom_ | heoyea -- it won't finish it's getting stuck asking me where the matlab files are, and the developer had the brilliant idea of not adding an option to cancel or close the window | 04:56 |
| devish | hi All, where can i find the screen refresh rate settings in ubuntu 12.04? | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | oh yea.. functions. ;-) | 04:56 |
| heoyea | tom_: reboot then | 04:56 |
| tom_ | heoyea -- It's stuck asking me for a file that doesn't exist, and there is no option to | 04:56 |
| tom_ | oops | 04:56 |
| tom_ | As I said before, it just comes back when I reboot | 04:57 |
| selite | heoyea: What functions? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | bash has a function feature | 04:57 |
| heoyea | selite: is more powerful then alias | 04:57 |
| hittt | dr_willis: any idea how to reach the settings? and how is the 3rd party tool called? | 04:57 |
| tom_ | Heoyea -- I can kill it with pkill, but then the next time I reboot and start up synaptic, it comes back | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | scripts. functions. aliases.. | 04:57 |
| selite | heoyea: Do you have any idea how to implement it? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | hittt: depends on what you want to change | 04:58 |
| hittt | ... everything | 04:58 |
| heoyea | selite: example, nameiwant() {echo hello ;} | 04:58 |
| selite | heoyea: I hope you aren't misunderstanding the question, I don't want to write C code to do this, I just want some kind of a tweak so that 'rn fileName' will compile and run fileName. | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | hittt: thats vague. | 04:58 |
| hittt | i seriously want to change everything, system font, the way the taskbar works, the position of it, the window manager | 04:59 |
| selite | heoyea: I type that in terminal, it fails. | 04:59 |
| hittt | literally everything | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | selite: a read of the abs guide will show you | 04:59 |
| heoyea | selite: add it to ur bashrc | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | hittt: use the source then i guess | 04:59 |
| heoyea | tom_: pkill only kills the gui, not the command line process i dont think | 05:00 |
| selite | heoyea: How do I do that, I mean I don't know where bashrc.txt is located. | 05:00 |
| hittt | dr_willis: im not really in the mood of touching the source, i just need access to the preferences and that 3rd party thingy | 05:00 |
| heoyea | selite: in ur home folder, hit ctrl+h | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | selite: its .bashrc | 05:00 |
| tom_ | heoyea -- I know. I also killed dpkg, synaptic, etc. ... It just comes back next time I reboot though | 05:00 |
| heoyea | selite: if u dont got it create one | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | hittt: those wont do 'everything' | 05:01 |
| tom_ | I need to know how to not remove it, but to STOP THE INSTALLER, so that apt doesn't try to keep installing it. | 05:01 |
| M13_ | dos anyone know anything about dosbox here for ubuntu ??? | 05:01 |
| bazhang | M13_, whats the real question | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | M13_: its fun for old games | 05:01 |
| tom_ | I need to find out where is the thing that says "Install Matlab next" and remove that | 05:01 |
| hittt | dr_willis: im not going for everything or nothing. I just need to change whatever i can from here | 05:02 |
| heoyea | tom_: try uninstall it package from the command line 1st | 05:02 |
| selite | heoyea: I did 'gedit .bashrc' and I added 'nameiwant() { echo hello; }' and it didn't work. | 05:02 |

| dongli | Does any one know how to install ubuntu into ThinkStation C30? | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | then type... nameiwant | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | dongli: Are you having a particular problem? | 05:03 |
| selite | heoyea: Doesn't work, command not found. | 05:04 |
| heoyea | or just type bash again to reload | 05:04 |
| tom_ | Ah - I think I figured it out -- dpkg -P was what I needed | 05:04 |
| heoyea | selite: u gotta reload it everytime u edit the bashrc file | 05:04 |
| dongli | Yes, I have installed it, but can not boot. | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | m13 i recall dosbox having a mount commant. you did read its docs? | 05:04 |
| heoyea | selite: just run bash again | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | tom_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get purge matlab-support" (or if it brings up a pseudo-graphical dialog, post a screenshot). | 05:06 |
| selite | heoyea: I did. I get "syntax error near unexpected token" | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | selite: Please pastebin your complete .bashrc | 05:07 |
| dongli | Jordan_U: I have installed ubuntu into ThinkStation, but can not boot from it. Do you have any idea? Thanks! | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | dongli: What happens when you try to boot? | 05:07 |
| selite | Jordan_U: There is no need. Just tell me what should I add in the .bashrc, something that compiles though. | 05:08 |
| heoyea | selite: then u did something wrong | 05:08 |
| dongli | Jordan_U: No bootable device found | 05:08 |
| selite | heoyea: Nothing is wrong except the code that you provided. Considering there is a syntax error. | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | selite: There is a need, as what you've already been given is correct, which means that something else is wrong with your .bashrc. | 05:08 |
| selite | Okay. | 05:08 |
| dongli | Jordan_U: Does ubuntu support ThinkStation C30? Or can I do something to fix it? | 05:09 |

| selite | Jordan_U: Again, syntax error. | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: What do you mean by "without remix"? | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | selite: Please pastebin your new .bashrc . | 05:12 |

| dr_willis | hittt: go to console.. "sudo service lightdm restart" | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | selite: You're still missing spaces. Please litteraly use copy and paste. | 05:13 |
| jordi | hi .) | 05:13 |
| hittt | nothing opened but xchat (which loads up automatically) no window manager or anything | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | selite: Ahh, I see the problem now :) | 05:13 |
| heoyea | hittt: hold ALt+Printscreen+k | 05:14 |
| tucemiux | Jordan_U, the current ubuntu install has the remix look and feel instead of good old gnome | 05:14 |
| hittt | andrewass | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | old gnome? you mean gnome 2? | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | selite: What heoyea gave you *was* incorrect, but when you repeated it, saying "I added 'nameiwant() { echo hello; }' and it didn't work." what you posted was actually correct :) If you use exactly 'nameiwant() { echo hello; }' it will work :) | 05:15 |
| tucemiux | dr_willis, ideally gnome 3 but ubuntu now has by default the remix gui - I can't use that - I have to use gnome - how do I install gnome? | 05:15 |
| tucemiux | == without hosing the current install == | 05:15 |
| hittt | andrewass | 05:15 |
| hittt | andrewass | 05:15 |
| selite | Jordan_U: Perfect, now, help me achieve this 'rn fileName' will do this 'javac hello.java' and then 'java hello'? | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | tucemiux: huh? you want the gnome 2 look or gnome 3 with nome shell? | 05:16 |
| heoyea | selite: Jordan_U not sure wat u guys on about by mine was correct =D | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | heoyea: No, it wasn't. Try copying and pasting it into bash (if you add either spaces or a newline between '{' and 'echo' it will work, but without that it's a syntax error). | 05:17 |
| tucemiux | dr_willis, ill go for latest and greatest, does gnome 3 look like remix though? I just want the plain old gnome | 05:17 |
| heoyea | Jordan_U: well im on zsh, maybe a little diff | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | tucemiux | 05:18 |
| ubot93 | tucemiux: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | tucemiux: your words are confuseng.. gnome shell does not look like gnome2 | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | bbl. | 05:18 |
| heoyea | selite: u can do like name() { javac "$1" ;} | 05:19 |
| tucemiux | dr_willis, I think Jordan_U nailed it, remix = unity, I don't want unity, I want plain gnome, like this: http://www.webcoz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gnome-3-desktop-screenshoot.jpeg | 05:19 |
| selite | heoyea: Yup did it. | 05:19 |
| selite | heoyea: Thanks a lot. | 05:19 |
| selite | Jordan_U: Thanks a lot. | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | selite: You're welcome. | 05:19 |
| heoyea | selite: use $@ for multiple arguments | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | tom__: Did you see my message to you? | 05:21 |
| tucemiux | jordan, "investigate" gnome-tweak-tool? Does this means I'll have to figure out how to exorcise unity? :-( | 05:21 |
| hittt | freenode thought it'd be fun to kill me about 30 times... sorry about that | 05:21 |
| tucemiux | my netbook got hosed pretty good and I'm going to lose some sleep figuring this out o.O | 05:22 |
| hittt | ok, so i picked "Gnome classic (No effects)" and it seems to be the old good gnome without any netbook stuff | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | tom__: Please run "sudo apt-get purge matlab-support" and select cancel when asked for the installation path to matlab, that should get everything back to normal. | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: No, gnome-tweak-tool is just a nice GUI for twiddling gnome-shell's knobs :) | 05:23 |
| tucemiux | hittt, how did you install the packages so that you now have a "gnome classic" option? You figured it out already, can you share your experience please? :-) | 05:24 |
| hittt | tucemiux: by restarting that services i got greeted with a login manager i've never seen before, it had much more options | 05:25 |
| hittt | your sarcasm isnt going anywhere | 05:25 |
| tucemiux | unity looks kind of decent but unfortunately I don't have time to mess with it right now, I'll have to hit it up eventually though | 05:25 |
| tucemiux | hittt, you mean you switched to gdm ? | 05:25 |
| hittt | yea | 05:25 |
| hittt | its heavily glitched but it works | 05:26 |
| tucemiux | Jordan_U, it looks **fantastic** , I tried on on a virtual machine, im slapping that on my ultrabook now, thanks you buddy !!!!!!!! | 05:27 |
| munderwo-work | Has anybody got experience with using pbuilder to build .deb packages? | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | tucemiux: You're welcome :) | 05:27 |
| heoyea | nop | 05:28 |

| voxadam | I'm in the process of building a new desktop and I was wondering if there was any way to, using KVM, start or restart a Windows session when my girlfriend logs in. I have plenty of memory and my i5 3570 supports all the necessary virtualisation technologies. | 05:31 |
| munderwo-work | Im using pbuilder to build a custom package that involves a bunch of libraries and a python package, and then using fpm to build the virtualenv into a deb package. I've got all that working in a hook with pbuilder. Now I need to get the deb file back out. I dont have a .dsc file (because its a custom build) is there a way I can copy the .deb file out of the chroot? | 05:32 |
| Daxter | so yud want to save the state of the o for when your gf gets back? did i read that right? | 05:32 |
| dr_willis | hmm.. there us a ubuntu-remixx variant that just comes with gnomelshell. calling unity 'remixx' is incorrect | 05:32 |
| crimsonmane | voxadam: you can install VirtualBox, and I'm sure there's a command line method to run VB with a specified installed VM operating system, and you can make that command a startup command ending with " &" | 05:32 |
| voxadam | crimsonmane: Thanks. I'll take a look. | 05:33 |
| gimpygoo | why would update manager show me updates to software and then not let me update the software because of it not being from a trusted source? | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | gimpygoo: invalid gpg key perhaps | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | or the key expired | 05:34 |
| gimpygoo | it says requires installation of untrusted packages. | 05:34 |

| tavoe | I have logged on via liveCD and am looking at gparted. | 05:47 |
| kanupatar | hello | 05:48 |
| kanupatar | is there any tools in linux to parse a directory ? | 05:48 |
| tavoe | Problem is, I can't resize dev/sda3. It seems to be locked. I can resize dev/sda6, its child thatis using almost all the allocated space, but the freed space is still part of dev/sda3. | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | parse in what way? t#e find command maybe what you want | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | sday | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | sda6 would be an logical partition inside of a extended partion | 05:50 |
| tavoe | what is linux-swap? | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | !swap | 05:51 |
| ubot93 | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:51 |
| bobbert | Tavoe: linux uses swap if it has too much in RAM for the actual RAM to cope with | 05:51 |

| mcgrete | Hello. I am new to fetchmail and thunderbird. Looking to transfer email from gmail account to local drive (and remove from gmail), and locally use/view with Thunderbird. I have had no luck searching web for this, at least not anything other than perhaps 2005 timeframe. Does anyone have experience with this? | 05:55 |
| L3top | Yes, I know. What are you attempting to capture in... what program? | 05:55 |
| jbermudes | I have a 12.10 DVD that boots fine on machine A, but on machine B it just gives me a blank cursor for a few minutes then the machine proceeds to boot off the hard drive. Any suggestions? | 05:56 |
| Jonta_ | Imageviewer that, when showing PNGs with transparency (Alpha-channel) show what's behind the image? E.g. the window of another program, or the desktop background? | 05:56 |
| crimsonmane | bobbert: idunno, i didnt read the man page | 05:56 |
| ampi4 | i dont know maeby i think i wana use the default ubuntu program | 05:56 |
| ampi4 | L3top | 05:56 |
| ampi4 | is that's possible | 05:57 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: if you want to install Ubuntu an alternate install CD should do it. | 05:57 |
| jbermudes | bobbert: Didn't Canonical drop alternate install CDs for 12.10? | 05:57 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest29912 | ||
| bobbert | jbermudes: I don't know, if they did you could download an old anternate install then update to 12.10. | 05:58 |
| L3top | ampi4: there isn't really a default program for capture... regardless... the things I am looking at looks like they can get the card running, but not audio... gimme a couple minutes ampi4. | 05:58 |
| crimsonmane | i'll find the alternate for you (if it exists) | 05:58 |

| mcgrete | anyone use fetchmail? | 05:59 |
| heoyea | isnt that dead | 06:00 |
| mcgrete | still in Synaptic; recently released; I admit, I am lazy to read the man page, requires scripting. Looking for examples to follow along with Thunderbird... | 06:01 |
| crimsonmane | 12.04 alternate at the bottom of http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads | 06:01 |
| mcgrete | I am open to different alternative(s)... | 06:02 |
| mcgrete | suggestions? | 06:02 |
| bobbert | mcgrete: you simply sign in to Thunderbird with you Gmail address and opt to delete the mails from the server, then they will be gone from Gmail and on your thunderbird. | 06:02 |
| jbermudes | crimsonmane: Ah, thanks. It seems that there's also a "Minimal CD" thing too now... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:02 |
| jerry_l | hello | 06:02 |
| rickstar | hi mate | 06:02 |
| mcgrete | bobbert: That simple? Great. Thanks, I will try it... | 06:03 |
| heoyea | minimal is the netinstall, takes too long | 06:03 |
| crimsonmane | i believe the mini is a basic linux install without a desktop environment - i could be wrong | 06:03 |
| rickstar | need to know what to do short of reinstalling ubuntu to get lan (internet to work) | 06:03 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: it might be hardware driver probalem, though | 06:04 |
| rickstar | went down after installing update :( | 06:04 |

| sargennto | Anybody know why I would lose my volume slider graphic in Unity after installing the 'xubuntu-desktop' package? | 06:04 |

| jerry_l | i am looking forward to fixing the mouse KVM issue. when switchng between windows and Linux on a PS2 KVM the mouse goes crazy and i have to reboot one of the systems. | 06:04 |
| jerry_l | is there an ubuntu dev room? | 06:04 |
| heoyea | sargennto: might got replaced by xfce 1 | 06:05 |
| rickstar | bobbert: went down after installing update | 06:05 |
| bobbert | rickstar: can you configure the interface manually? | 06:05 |
| rickstar | don't know what i need to do? | 06:05 |
| crimsonmane | rickstar: have you tried "ifconfig eth0 up" for ethernet or "ifconfig wlan0 up" for wireless? | 06:05 |
| crimsonmane | those are zeros, not capital o's | 06:06 |
| ampi4 | thx L3top for your time | 06:06 |
| fontgorilla | zug zug. How do I find all *.ttf files (recursively) in a certain directory - and cp them to a specific folder? | 06:06 |
| rickstar | no... try it now... which program i use? | 06:06 |
| bobbert | rickstar: run that command in the terminal | 06:06 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, cp -R *.ttf /folder | 06:07 |
| fontgorilla | Erin: that's what i thought too but it doesn't seem to let me | 06:07 |
| Erin | eh? | 06:07 |
| jbermudes | bobbert: Yeah, It's probably the video card. X freaked out when I tried the 9.04 live cd | 06:07 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, gives an error or ? | 06:08 |
| hittt | my compiz is freaking out, anything i can do? | 06:08 |
| dongli_ | Have anyone installed ubuntu 12.10 into a ThinkStation C30? | 06:08 |
| hittt | if i run the desktop effects, it lags alot, and then after 10 seconds compiz crashes | 06:08 |
| warhole | early morning in spain,just looking into ubuntu about firsttime | 06:08 |
| hittt | leaving me with no window manager | 06:08 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: ouch, that can be a tricky problem to fix. Have you tried a different distro and had same problem? | 06:08 |
| fontgorilla | Erin: also that one will find all ttf on the filesystem wont it? I only want in a certain directory -R | 06:08 |
| bobbert | warhole: welcome! | 06:08 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, it will do it for whatever DIR you are in | 06:09 |
| bobbert | hittt: that probably means problem with video card driver. | 06:09 |
| fontgorilla | ah, that might be my problem , my starting point | 06:09 |
| warhole | yeah breakfast i will let it go,bad english. | 06:09 |
| jbermudes | bobbert: Nope, this machine is trying to migrate from Vista to Linux, and Ubuntu usually has such a good track record with drivers that I tried it first | 06:09 |
| hittt | bobbert: it worked great in 10.04, i just upgraded and it crashes | 06:09 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, yea cd to the dir you want to copy the files | 06:10 |
| Erin | from. | 06:10 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: I'm afraid it is probably drivers. What is the Graphics card? | 06:11 |
| sargennto | heoyea: if i did 'apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop' would this be safe? and would i restore my old slider? | 06:11 |
| fontgorilla | erin sudo cp -R *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts | 06:11 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, looks good. | 06:11 |
| bobbert | hittt: you did an upgrade from 10.04 through to 12.10 with the OS or did you do fresh install? | 06:11 |
| hittt | upgraded, and im on 12.04 | 06:12 |
| fontgorilla | erin does the -R need to be after cp or at the end? | 06:12 |
| hittt | and i swear i had a program called "Propriatery Drivers" | 06:12 |
| hittt | where did it go D: | 06:12 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, that will have all the .ttf files owne by root, which might be a problem later you can use chmod to change em after | 06:12 |
| heoyea | sargennto: u might want to find what the name of that slider and reinstall the silder only | 06:12 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, you had it right | 06:12 |
| crimsonmane | fontgorilla: the "-R" means recursive, so it'll grab things in your directory plus all directories within that one | 06:13 |
| fontgorilla | erin this isn't havent the expected result | 06:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | hittt, try "Hardware Drivers" | 06:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | hittt, type that into the dash, it should show up. | 06:13 |
| umer | Hey folks. I was wanting a minimal install, and thought that I could do that with the alternate installer. However, it seems like that installed the full desktop suite. Is there a way I can remove all of the non-base packages with out having to do a re-install using the server iso? This is on Ubuntu 12.04.1 | 06:13 |
| dongli_ | Does Ubuntu support ThinkStation C30? | 06:13 |
| bobbert | hittt: oh, I see, then maybe Unity has something to do with it? I'm afraid I have no experience with upgrading Ubuntu, as I always choose to do a fresh install. | 06:14 |
| rickstar | :bobert no god | 06:14 |
| hittt | TheLordOfTime: im in the 'classic gnome' with no effects | 06:14 |
| rickstar | *good | 06:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | ... ah. | 06:14 |
| hittt | i just want to run the effects on it | 06:14 |
| bobbert | rickstar: what is no good? | 06:15 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, idk what result did it give? | 06:15 |
| bobbert | hittt: I'm stumped :( | 06:15 |
| hittt | oh and alt+f2 isnt working | 06:15 |
| rickstar | still not working... any drivers or programs i can get 4 it 2 work? | 06:16 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, it works on my system ... | 06:16 |
| jbermudes | bobbert: GeForce 8500GT | 06:16 |
| bobbert | rickstar: sorry, I had forgotten about you there, buddy. Do you know what settings are required for your network? | 06:17 |
| hittt | ok i run jockey-gtk from terminal | 06:17 |
| rickstar | bobbert: no i don't... it was working fine until i installed upgrade | 06:18 |
| hittt | there was my old driver installed | 06:18 |
| hittt | and ill install a newer one | 06:18 |
| chael | hey.. | 06:18 |
| chael | hey.. | 06:18 |
| sargennto | Does anybody know the package name for the volume slider in Unity? | 06:18 |
| Erin | chael you sound like fat albert, HEY hEy HEY! | 06:18 |
| fontgorilla | erin, strange. I dont get why it doesnt work. it seems to have...I'll put the dir names here to see if I'm doing it right | 06:19 |
| rickstar | bobbert: might just be easier to save work and reforfatt | 06:19 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, like it doesn't move the files or ? | 06:20 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: this is a fairly old graphics card, which should mean it is better supported! considering dirvers are available here http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html I really am not sure waht is wrong. When you get to black screen is there a flashing cursor? | 06:20 |
| fontgorilla | erin it looks like it only cped the first files it could find in the first recursive dir it went to... (frown) | 06:20 |
| chael | 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. | 06:21 |
| crimsonmane | fontgorilla: before running the actual "cp" command, construct it using "ls" in order to see what it's going to select before you do any copying | 06:21 |
| chael | how to fix it? | 06:21 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, with the -R flag it should recurse all the directories.... | 06:21 |
| fontgorilla | crimsonmane: how do i use ls as you suggest? | 06:22 |
| crimsonmane | fontgorilla: put ls where cp is | 06:22 |
| jbermudes | bobbert: Yes, when it attempts to boot from DVD, the cursor blinks for a minute on the top row of the screen, moves to the next line, blinks for another minute, then boots off the HDD | 06:22 |
| chael | 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. how to fix it? | 06:22 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: find /path/to/files -name \* ttf -exec cp '{}' /path/to/destination | 06:22 |
| hittt | whoa it really was my driver | 06:23 |
| hittt | thanks, bobbert, TheLordOfTime | 06:23 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, ls -lR | grep .ttf | 06:23 |
| hittt | i was using the recommended one | 06:23 |
| hittt | and it didn't really work | 06:23 |
| bobbert | rickstar: well we can try this first. try to run "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.25" | 06:23 |
| bobbert | jbermudes: when it gets to the flashing cursor try pressing ctrl+alt+f5 and see if you get a terminal access. | 06:24 |
| gimpygoo | if your application says that it is going to minimize to tray, where does it go ? | 06:25 |

| bobbert | gimpygoo: quite a lot of chat apps will 'close' to their icon in the system tray. | 06:31 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: you need to use find to recurse into directories looking for files to copy | 06:32 |
| Erin | fontgorilla, just shows the .ttf files recursively | 06:32 |
| Erin | SolarisB1y, nah he can use ls and grep also :-P | 06:32 |
| sets88 | Народ, вопрос на засыпку: "как узнать mac сервера к которому в данный момент подключен по pppoe?" | 06:32 |
| gimpygoo | when you type sudo apt-get install "x" . where does that file go ? | 06:33 |
| SolarisB1y | sure and xargs.. but thats more difficult and not needed =) | 06:33 |

| fontgorilla | SolarisB1y: that i used a long time ago to find all files with spaces and change them to underscores. but im having trouble constructing the command | 06:33 |
| heoyea | gimpygoo: ur /usr/bin usually | 06:33 |
| Erin | ls -lR | grep .ttf is hard ? | 06:33 |
| fontgorilla | lol erin | 06:33 |
| SolarisB1y | is that going to copy the files where he wants them? | 06:33 |
| SolarisB1y | because the find command i posted would | 06:33 |
| Erin | I already gave him a command that would | 06:34 |
| Erin | like 20 mins ago ;-p | 06:34 |
| SolarisB1y | cp -R wont do that | 06:34 |
| SolarisB1y | sorry | 06:34 |
| Erin | sure it will | 06:34 |
| fontgorilla | it doesnt erin | 06:34 |
| SolarisB1y | are there ttf's under multiple directories? | 06:34 |
| Erin | I just tried it on my machine | 06:34 |
| lkthomas | guys, on VI insert mode, direction control key turns into D,C,B,A. anyone have idea how to fix it ? | 06:34 |
| Erin | worked fine | 06:34 |
| SolarisB1y | like dir/*ttf/dir*ttf.. if so.. no it doesn't | 06:34 |
| Erin | k ill bow out good luck getting it sorted | 06:34 |
| fontgorilla | cp: cannot stat `*.ttf': No such file or directory | 06:34 |
| evilmoo | lkthomas: what is your TERM variable set to? | 06:35 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: that means there are not ttf's in the current directory | 06:35 |
| sets88 | Who can answer : "How can i get mac address of the server i just connected via pppoe?" | 06:35 |
| heoyea | lkthomas: check ur vimrc | 06:35 |
| SolarisB1y | if they are further under.. thats proof that command wont work alone.. | 06:35 |
| fontgorilla | but as erin said the cp has the -R flag, so why isn't it doing it recursive? | 06:35 |
| evilmoo | sets88: try tcpdump? | 06:35 |
| bobbert | sets88: is that like SSH? | 06:35 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: xterm | 06:35 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: because thats not what it means.. | 06:35 |
| fontgorilla | in man find it says that | 06:36 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: try and copy a directory with cp -f.. | 06:36 |
| Erin | the R does mean recursive | 06:36 |
| evilmoo | lkthomas: are you using an xterminal? | 06:36 |
| Erin | man cp | 06:36 |
| SolarisB1y | -R means copy a directory and it's contents dude... | 06:36 |
| SolarisB1y | not recurse into directories deep and find files... | 06:36 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: no, putty remote ssh | 06:36 |
| evilmoo | lkthomas: try setting it to vt100? | 06:36 |
| Erin | oh well he gave you a command does it work? | 06:36 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: actually, it's the same on my laptop ubuntu too | 06:36 |
| almoxarife | #bash already, i dont want to know all the niceties of cp etc | 06:36 |
| fontgorilla | oh true SolarisB1y ... my mistake in not readinf man cp properly | 06:36 |
| sets88 | almost forgot sniffers and log readers do not offer :) | 06:37 |
| SolarisB1y | no worries.. | 06:37 |
| Erin | this is why I dont help people here alot almoxarife | 06:37 |
| SolarisB1y | and if you need to copy the files under /usr/* somewhere you'll need to prefix it with sudo | 06:37 |
| Erin | people like you try to complain when someone is getting help | 06:37 |
| evilmoo | sets88: tcpdump -e | 06:37 |
| hittt | ok i switched to normal 'gnome' but im not sure it should look like that | 06:38 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: any idea ? | 06:38 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla: find /path/to/files -name \* ttf -exec cp '{}' /path/to/destination | 06:38 |
| SolarisB1y | thats the command for the record | 06:38 |
| lkthomas | also, how could I "convert" to ppa command if I found something I need on launchpad ? | 06:38 |
| hittt | i mean there is something seriously weird with this | 06:38 |
| evilmoo | lkthomas: does setting TERM to vt100 fix it? | 06:38 |
| sets88 | evilmoo its a sniffer :( | 06:38 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: does not help | 06:39 |
| lkthomas | evilmoo: same issue | 06:39 |
| sets88 | bobbert what like SSH? | 06:39 |
| almoxarife | SolarisB1y: fontgorilla, take it to #bash, argue out the merits there! | 06:39 |
| evilmoo | lkthomas: did you export it? | 06:39 |
| Erin | almoxarife, who made you king ? | 06:39 |
| Erin | I missed the ceremony :-( | 06:39 |
| SolarisB1y | uncalled for | 06:40 |

| almoxarife | Erin: the channel rules did, this is not the bash101 channel | 06:40 |
| Erin | oh calm down man | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | hittt: you mean gnome-shell or the gnome2 look fallback mode? | 06:40 |
| Erin | gonna give your self an early heart attack | 06:40 |
| SolarisB1y | why would a C program be discussed in bash anyway? | 06:41 |
| fontgorilla_ | is he hassling you erin? | 06:41 |
| hittt | dr_willis i have no idea which one this is | 06:41 |
| evilmoo | sets88: pppoe -d ? | 06:41 |
| Erin | nah he is hassling you lol | 06:41 |
| almoxarife | Erin: have a nice day | 06:41 |
| hittt | if i hit the top left corner it shows me all windows, nice | 06:41 |
| fontgorilla_ | hehe | 06:41 |
| SolarisB1y | or trying.. | 06:41 |
| hittt | if i hit bottom right it shows me my windows again, still nice | 06:41 |
| Erin | almoxarife, huh... ? | 06:41 |
| hittt | but i have no minimize button | 06:41 |
| hittt | or maximize | 06:41 |
| hittt | i only have a close button | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | hittt: check youtube for videos of each. ;-) | 06:41 |
| heoyea | l33t | 06:41 |
| hittt | is that normal? | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | for gnome-shell y|s | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | yes | 06:42 |
| fontgorilla_ | Erin: SolarisB1y I struggle with these a little. im getting better though but some things I still dont have a handle on | 06:42 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: no worries its why were here to learn/help =) | 06:43 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, use the command he gave you apparently I didn't comprehend the CP manual | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | activities on left sie. desktops along right side .. gnome shell stuff | 06:43 |
| hittt | right, how can i add the minimize-maximize button back? | 06:43 |
| fontgorilla_ | this is what i have so far... SolarisB1y and Erin find ~/googlefontdirectory -name \* ttf -exec cp '{}' /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts this returns an error find: paths must precede expression: ttf | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | hittt: theres some tweak tools to do it | 06:43 |
| sets88 | evilmoo thank you very much, thats all i needed :) | 06:43 |
| SolarisB1y | uh i think i had a space in there by mistake | 06:44 |
| evilmoo | sets88: cool, you're welcome | 06:44 |
| hittt | name one please ? :) | 06:44 |
| fontgorilla_ | SolarisB1y: \*ttf | 06:44 |
| evilmoo | font: i think you want -name \*.ttf, not -name \* ttf | 06:44 |
| SolarisB1y | yep .. fontgorilla_ sudo find ~/googlefontdirectory -name \*ttf -exec cp '{}' /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | one in the repos. try searching. i dont use gnome shell. | 06:44 |
| SolarisB1y | my bad ;> extra spacey | 06:44 |
| SolarisB1y | youll need sudo | 06:45 |
| heoyea | might want to use -iname | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | gnome-tweak or somthing like it | 06:45 |
| SolarisB1y | if some of them are named TTF sure.. | 06:45 |
| fontgorilla_ | find: missing argument to `-exec' | 06:45 |
| heoyea | mainly digital camera got Caps | 06:45 |
| sets88 | evilmoo oops not exactly, it just runs discovery and shows one of founded servers randomly | 06:46 |
| SolarisB1y | hrmm | 06:46 |
| stroodlepup | anybody installed 12.04 on an hp 4445s laptop? | 06:46 |
| heoyea | nop | 06:46 |
| evilmoo | sets88: how many are available to you? | 06:46 |
| sets88 | evilmoo 3 | 06:46 |
| fontgorilla_ | SolarisB1y: hrmm indeed :) XD | 06:46 |
| SolarisB1y | you have it all on one line right? | 06:46 |
| fontgorilla_ | yep | 06:47 |
| evilmoo | sets88: you want the MAC for all of them? | 06:47 |
| stroodlepup | nobody? | 06:47 |
| almoxarife | fontgorilla_: i have a solution, install kde, using dolphin do a window split, on the left do a find *.ttf on the right open the dir/folder where you want all these files to end up, when the find is done copy all from the left and drag to the right, done!, on the the next chore | 06:47 |
| fontgorilla_ | almoxarife: lol | 06:47 |
| sets88 | evilmoo no i want the MAC of server i connected to | 06:48 |
| Erin | wow what a great solution | 06:48 |
| Erin | >.< | 06:48 |
| almoxarife | Erin: not as sexy as bashing i know, but it works, the first time! | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | mc can do that also | 06:48 |
| Erin | intall a new WM to copy files | 06:48 |
| Erin | never heard of that :-\ | 06:49 |
| Erin | its like killing a fly with a .44 | 06:49 |
| almoxarife | dr_willis: i bet nautilus does too, but i cant repeat the steps | 06:49 |
| stroodlepup | hi... | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | actually i thought nautilus had a way. with the / key | 06:49 |
| stroodlepup | need some help | 06:49 |
| evilmoo | sets88: what exactly are you trying to do? | 06:49 |
| SolarisB1y | oh my bad fontgorilla_ really silly of me | 06:50 |
| SolarisB1y | yep .. fontgorilla_ sudo find ~/googlefontdirectory -name \*ttf -exec cp '{}' /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts \; | 06:50 |
| almoxarife | Erin: less you forgot, the point of ubuntu is 'relative ease' | 06:50 |
| SolarisB1y | thats all no need to open a window and manually go through folders that will work | 06:50 |
| fontgorilla_ | it is almoxarife very easy to use. I just want to do things in bash all in go go, instead of doing what you suggest. | 06:50 |
| stroodlepup | does ubuntu have a grudge against amd vision pro cards? | 06:51 |
| sgo11 | is there a command to list all autostart services? is there a command to check if a service is autostarted or not? I asked this question many times here. no answer yet. thanks. | 06:51 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: \; at the end is the win | 06:51 |
| almoxarife | fontgorilla_: go get bash lessons on #bash! | 06:51 |
| SolarisB1y | this has nothing to do with bash by the way | 06:51 |
| fontgorilla_ | no thank you. im on ubuntu 12.04 almoxarife :) | 06:51 |
| crimsonmane | what? | 06:51 |
| crimsonmane | it has everything to do with bash | 06:51 |
| SolarisB1y | find nor cp are written in bash | 06:51 |
| crimsonmane | "expansion" even | 06:51 |
| SolarisB1y | im using zsh | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | stroodlepup: you got it backwards... amd/ati has a grudge againts linyx | 06:51 |
| fontgorilla_ | just ignore me if you cant stand my ignorance almoxarife | 06:51 |
| SolarisB1y | negative | 06:51 |
| evilmoo | stroodlepup: usually the problem is the hardware developers not providing appropriate documentation to open source developers | 06:51 |
| fontgorilla_ | here, ill even type out the command for you almoxarife ... /ignore fontgorilla_ | 06:52 |
| almoxarife | fontgorilla_: have a nice day | 06:52 |
| hittt | dr_willis: i found it, i had it installed already | 06:52 |
| fontgorilla_ | you too sir. :) | 06:52 |
| Erin | he is so polite while being a .... | 06:52 |
| Erin | kind of interesting | 06:52 |
| heoyea | sgo11: think all the autostart stuff is ins ur ~/.config/autostart/ | 06:52 |
| sets88 | i have a 3 pppoe servers and i'm connected on one of it, i want to login via ssh on server i connected on, to do some manipulations, now i just login on each of them, and then checks | 06:52 |
| fontgorilla_ | SolarisB1y: what does the \; at teh end do? | 06:53 |
| sgo11 | heoyea: that is not for services. | 06:53 |
| SolarisB1y | terminates it | 06:53 |
| stroodlepup | ubuntu livecd hangs on an hp 4445s laptop.... need help | 06:53 |
| fontgorilla_ | lol | 06:53 |
| SolarisB1y | it does | 06:53 |
| SolarisB1y | it terminates the arguments passed to -exec | 06:53 |
| Erin | its the terminator! | 06:54 |
| sets88 | evilmoo wrote the message, forgot to assign it to you :) | 06:54 |
| SolarisB1y | lol | 06:54 |
| Erin | run sarah connor | 06:54 |
| fontgorilla_ | something so simple. But why does it need to be specifically terminated? | 06:54 |
| heoyea | sgo11: maybe initctl list | 06:54 |
| ]||[ | If I select the `upgrade' option from the installer, will it wipe /root? | 06:54 |
| crimsonmane | no it won't wipe root | 06:54 |
| ]||[ | thank you | 06:54 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, so the robots can take over ;p | 06:54 |
| fontgorilla_ | (it works by the way) | 06:54 |
| fontgorilla_ | grin erin :) | 06:55 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, you can make a bash script with that command in it also | 06:55 |
| Erin | for future use | 06:55 |
| sgo11 | heoyea: initctl list only for current status. not autostart status. | 06:55 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: no clue why =) | 06:55 |
| fontgorilla_ | SolarisB1y: dosen't it know to terminate by itself? | 06:55 |
| SolarisB1y | its run in an interpreter | 06:55 |
| Erin | no, then it would be self aware. like skynet | 06:55 |
| Erin | hahaha you set me up for that one | 06:55 |
| fontgorilla_ | it just works therefore it is? | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | self termination! | 06:55 |
| Erin | dr_willis, suicide ? | 06:56 |
| evilmoo | sets88: use pppoe -S to connect to the specific PPPOE server you want? | 06:56 |
| SolarisB1y | so the interpreter may mistake some of the arguments given to -exec for other things.. | 06:56 |
| sets88 | evilmoo what if it's down? | 06:56 |
| evilmoo | why do you have three PPPoE servers in the first place? | 06:56 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2961673/find-missing-argument-to-exec || answer is there ;> | 06:56 |
| fontgorilla_ | well, my next task is to change all the cp'ed fonts to be owned by me. I must chown something? chown . 666 | 06:56 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: yes and that you CAN do -R with | 06:57 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, sudo chown -R * user:group | 06:57 |
| Erin | maybe ? | 06:57 |
| SolarisB1y | well no.. i dunno about the . 666 thing | 06:57 |
| SolarisB1y | lols | 06:57 |
| crimsonmane | 777 | 06:57 |
| crimsonmane | or 770 | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | fontgorilla_: owned by your user? but in the system widefont dir? | 06:57 |
| SolarisB1y | chmod changes that not chown | 06:57 |
| Erin | I meant chmod lol. | 06:58 |
| Erin | wait no | 06:58 |
| Erin | he wants chown doesnt he | 06:58 |
| SolarisB1y | yep | 06:58 |
| Erin | so would my command work | 06:58 |
| SolarisB1y | but he should really make them the same ownership as the other files | 06:58 |
| Erin | *.ttf anyway | 06:58 |
| SolarisB1y | Erin: yes it would | 06:58 |
| jerry_l | how do i add a text file named ubuntu12.04 to a DVD iso? | 06:58 |
| Erin | hurray huzzah for -R doing what I think it does. | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | for a single user they can have their own. .fonts directory | 06:58 |
| SolarisB1y | also true | 06:59 |
| fontgorilla_ | so, how do i find out who should own them? | 06:59 |
| SolarisB1y | and just update the font cache | 06:59 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: see dr_willis comment | 06:59 |
| fontgorilla_ | yes thats next SolarisB1y | 06:59 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, so put them in the .fonts folder and make them owned by your user:group it seems like | 06:59 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: you can make a ~./fonts and copy them there and then run that command | 06:59 |
| SolarisB1y | they will be found and available for you atleast | 06:59 |
| Erin | fontgorilla_, sudo chown -R user:group ~/.fonts ? | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | .fonts ;-) note the . | 07:00 |
| jerry_l | .. | 07:00 |
| SolarisB1y | args | 07:00 |
| jerry_l | BRB. | 07:00 |
| fontgorilla_ | how i make them available to all users on this computer? | 07:00 |
| SolarisB1y | im having a bad typing day lols | 07:00 |
| Erin | /usr/share/fonts maybe ? | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | !fonts | 07:00 |
| ubot93 | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 07:00 |
| cocomo | I changed the ubuntu themese a couple of times but now the window control (maximize, minimize(-), close(X)) have shifted to the right, they used to be on the left by default. | 07:01 |
| cocomo | how do i revert the controls to their default positions? | 07:01 |
| fontgorilla_ | I've read that dr_willis. It's 10.04 LTS. I assume nothing has changed for 12.04 since you directed me there? | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | !controls | 07:02 |
| ubot93 | Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information and workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | fontgorilla_: no idea... i use .fonts in my home dir...;-) i doubt if ithchanged | 07:03 |
| SolarisB1y | i use it as well with my 3 fonts for vim-powerline lol | 07:03 |
| cocomo | dr_willis: yes thats what i want them on the left side but i changed desktop theme and the suddenly are now appearing on the right.. i tried setting the default theme but still window's controlls are on the right side | 07:03 |
| cocomo | how do i get them back on the left where they were by default | 07:03 |
| fontgorilla_ | is ~/.fonts accessible to programs? i.e. libreoffice will be able to see those fonts and use them? | 07:04 |
| alusion | I'm creating a backup and I want to have more information of my system what are some good commands or programs to see an overview of my files / directories and how much memory they take up ? | 07:05 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: if you startef the programs yes | 07:05 |
| fontgorilla_ | interesting | 07:05 |
| Erin | alusion, df -h | 07:07 |
| fontgorilla_ | thanks for your help Erin, SolarisB1y , dr_willis | 07:07 |
| fontgorilla_ | thanks for the entertainment almoxarife | 07:07 |
| Erin | haha | 07:07 |
| SolarisB1y | fontgorilla_: np | 07:07 |
| Erin | I didn't help, I tried atleast | 07:08 |
| sets88 | Who can help : "How can i get MAC address of the server i just connected via pppoe?" | 07:08 |
| SolarisB1y | sets88: are you on that server? | 07:08 |
| Erin | sets88, sudo macchanger -s | 07:08 |
| fontgorilla_ | i appreciate in any case erin | 07:08 |
| SolarisB1y | if so type ifconfig -a and look for the the pppoe interface | 07:09 |
| cocomo | How do i move the windows controll(max, min, close) to their default left position? Window's controll on my ubuntu are suddenly moved to the right http://postimage.org/image/yr8lxsigb/full/ | 07:09 |
| Erin | sets88, sudo macchanger -s interface | 07:09 |
| fontgorilla_ | cocomo you can do it...i did it deliberatly once | 07:09 |
| Erin | haha beat me again SolarisB1y I forgot ifconfig shows it ;-p | 07:09 |
| cocomo | how do i do it.. thats my question | 07:09 |
| SolarisB1y | Erin: ;> | 07:09 |
| Erin | I haven't been using linux alot recently. well I have but just for my web/file/music server | 07:10 |
| cocomo | fontgorilla_: plz help | 07:10 |
| Erin | gaming alot on my "gasp" pc | 07:10 |
| fontgorilla_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/config-desktop/C/window-button-order.html cocomo | 07:10 |
| SolarisB1y | gasp? | 07:10 |
| Erin | yea windows :-P | 07:10 |
| SolarisB1y | ahh | 07:10 |
| fontgorilla_ | cocomo: i haven't tried it in 12.04 but that is what i used in 10.04 | 07:10 |
| Erin | I think in 5 years linux will be game ready ;-p | 07:11 |
| SolarisB1y | its game ready now - no one makes them | 07:11 |
| SolarisB1y | or atleast any good ones | 07:11 |
| cocomo | how did you deliberately change controlls position in 10.04 | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | been playing 'rochard' all week on ubuntu | 07:11 |
| Erin | SolarisB1y, valve is helping pioneer the way | 07:11 |
| SolarisB1y | yea i know.. i happen to have a special access to that beta... | 07:11 |
| jerry_l | linux is game ready as long as you dont plan on playing halo on it. | 07:11 |
| Erin | when I say game ready I meant the big titles. | 07:11 |
| fontgorilla_ | cocomo: by reading and following that tutorial. see if it works for you for 12.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/config-desktop/C/window-button-order.html | 07:12 |
| cocomo | fontgorilla_: ty | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu-tweak has tools to move the controls left and right also. | 07:12 |
| Erin | jerry_l, well, halo4 is on xbox360 only so, even on PC you can't play it ;-p | 07:12 |
| jerry_l | ... | 07:12 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y no im on a client | 07:12 |
| SolarisB1y | sets88: if you have the IP ping it and then type arp -an | 07:12 |
| jerry_l | wh not build a 360 emu? | 07:12 |
| Erin | who me? HAHAAHAHAH! | 07:13 |
| sets88 | Erin not working shows mac:00:00:00:00:00:00 | 07:13 |
| Erin | pigs will surely sprout wings and fly first. | 07:13 |
| jerry_l | i am reading the book on bash right now... | 07:13 |
| fontgorilla_ | can you have gnome and KDE installed and use one or the other? | 07:13 |
| SolarisB1y | if the halo developers built a port of halo that ran on a linux system ofcourse with some h/w requirements,, then halo would be on linux,, and that would be the end of the story | 07:13 |
| Erin | sets88, try sudo ifconfig -a like SolarisB1y boy said then | 07:13 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y i cant have an ip ping PPPoE servers doesnt need an ip | 07:13 |
| fontgorilla_ | cough | 07:14 |
| SolarisB1y | heh | 07:14 |
| Erin | sets88, a server with no ip ? | 07:14 |
| Erin | sounds fishy | 07:14 |
| sets88 | Erin yes | 07:14 |
| Erin | sets88, thats not possible bud | 07:15 |
| dr_willis | heard of logging servers doing that... somehow | 07:15 |
| dr_willis | years ago. | 07:15 |
| SolarisB1y | amazing | 07:15 |
| Erin | dr_willis, with no IP ? | 07:15 |
| SolarisB1y | its like a black hole | 07:15 |
| sets88 | Erin PPPoE works over ethernet no over IP | 07:15 |
| Erin | huh? | 07:15 |
| SolarisB1y | encapsulation in ethernet you mean? | 07:15 |
| SolarisB1y | of IP proto? | 07:16 |
| Erin | how is data transmitted then ? | 07:16 |
| fontgorilla_ | erin brainwaves | 07:16 |
| Erin | im by no means a know it all, I know alot though never heard of this lol | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | Erin: was in a linux journrl mag. 6+ yrs ago. ;-) | 07:16 |
| Erin | me and my puppy communicate through brain waves | 07:16 |
| SolarisB1y | Erin: its possible | 07:17 |
| Erin | all she ever says is 'feed me''play with me' | 07:17 |
| cocomo | fontgorilla_: ty, gconf-editor worked.. my controlls are now on the left. | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | a dedicated loging server. somehow | 07:17 |
| fontgorilla_ | oh my goodness you are beautiful people! im off to play in my font of youth | 07:17 |
| SolarisB1y | it means there is a direct connection between two devices | 07:17 |
| SolarisB1y | and the connection doesn't need to pass an IP stack | 07:17 |
| Name141 | how would I install the AMD/ (ATi) driver for the 4670 ? | 07:17 |
| Erin | SolarisB1y, isn't data still in packets hough ? | 07:17 |
| fontgorilla_ | yw cocomo | 07:17 |
| SolarisB1y | on a wire | 07:17 |
| SolarisB1y | there is data layers under IP | 07:17 |
| Erin | SolarisB1y, so like usb ? | 07:17 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y no i mean it is on the same level as an IP level | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | in pipes... with cats. | 07:17 |
| SolarisB1y | actually kind of | 07:17 |
| Erin | I don't like cats :-( | 07:18 |
| Erin | alllergies you see. | 07:18 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y same layer | 07:18 |
| SolarisB1y | cats are the best | 07:18 |
| SolarisB1y | ethernet!=IP layer | 07:18 |
| Erin | cats don't need people and they let you know it when they piss on your stuff | 07:18 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y PPPoE layer=IP layer | 07:18 |
| SolarisB1y | it's encapsulating PPP in ethernet | 07:18 |
| SolarisB1y | by means of encapsulation dude | 07:19 |
| SolarisB1y | ?? do you not get it? | 07:19 |
| Erin | encapsulating? I know what that means sort of. | 07:19 |
| Erin | like keeping in one place right ? | 07:19 |
| SolarisB1y | its two directly connected peices of equipment | 07:19 |
| SolarisB1y | after they finish the encapsulation ITS IP AGAIN | 07:19 |
| Erin | is a LAN encapsulated ? | 07:19 |
| SolarisB1y | like connecting two office networks and such | 07:20 |
| Erin | it uses ip's though | 07:20 |
| SolarisB1y | no | 07:20 |
| SolarisB1y | its not passing over the internet | 07:20 |
| sets88 | SolarisB1y not PPP, PPPs are differ, only PPPoE, yes it encapsulating in ethernet | 07:20 |
| Erin | but it uses packets locally right ? | 07:20 |
| sets88 | Erin yes | 07:20 |
| SolarisB1y | what does Erin? | 07:21 |
| Erin | a LAN | 07:21 |
| SolarisB1y | yes... they all do | 07:21 |
| SolarisB1y | frames and packets | 07:21 |
| Erin | wtf is a frame lol ;-p | 07:21 |
| SolarisB1y | what a packet is in | 07:21 |
| Erin | hahah | 07:21 |

| dr_willis | !nounity | 07:31 |
| ubot93 | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 07:31 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest98088 | ||

| CyclicFlux | I have a question I am having one heck of a time with. | 07:56 |
| CyclicFlux | I installed swift fox(the faster, and smoother riding Firefox counterpart for Linux), and I am unable to get flash to work | 07:57 |
| CyclicFlux | I have installed flash, and have had it successfully running on my system with both Chromium, Firefox(which is what I used prior to Swiftfox). But it doesn't seem to like SwiftFox. | 07:58 |
| CyclicFlux | I have tried both package manager installation, and then re-installation, and then when that didn't work I tried the apt-get purge for all of the flash on the system. | 07:59 |
| heoyea | CyclicFlux: might have to manully add flash to swiftfox | 07:59 |
| CyclicFlux | Any thoughts? | 07:59 |
| CyclicFlux | heoyea, I am in the process of doing that now! :) | 07:59 |
| heoyea | CyclicFlux: thats how we use to fix firefox flash junk in the past =D | 08:00 |
| heoyea | yea just add the libflash.so file to the correct folder | 08:00 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| CyclicFlux | heoyea: Semantically speaking everything is fine, I see on this setup that the firefox plugin location is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, and upon installing swiftfox, I saw that the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins was then linked to /usr/lib/swiftfox/plugins, and I dbl-checked the link with 'll' from the shell. | 08:01 |
| heoyea | yea it might be symlinked | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | CyclicFlux: If their webpage, http://getswiftfox.com/ , is any indication then swiftfox is *many* *many* versions behind Firefox. | 08:01 |
| CyclicFlux | heoyea, I got ya, it should work because Ubuntu has the /etc/update-alternatives present(I think that takes care of the majority of the prior flash squabbles on linux/ubuntu) | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | CyclicFlux: Firefox has had *a lot* of performance improvements since 3.6.13, which will do a lot more than a few compiler flags. | 08:03 |
| CyclicFlux | Jordan_U, so your saying that it could be a software compatibility thing? The plugins were compatible, maybe I should check the about:config, and see the plugin settings/etc... | 08:03 |
| === nebula is now known as Guest37892 | ||

| crimsonmane | CrowX-: i dont use fdisk, but it's obvious you did something wrong. | 08:56 |
| RJ45-Q | after all thise changes, now although I just installed Samba, I for some strange reason can't right-click share in Nautilus anymore, the feature's gone!, any suggestions? | 08:56 |
| yhusha | ok | 08:56 |
| RJ45-Q | these* | 08:56 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, use /etc/samba/smb.conf to make your shares | 08:57 |
| shwouchk | hello | 08:57 |
| RJ45-Q | I REALLY like the option though | 08:57 |
| CrowX- | ok thanks guys, I'll reformat and redownload a bunch of files :) | 08:57 |
| RJ45-Q | how do I put it back? | 08:57 |
| almoxarife | crimsonmane: something not being right does not make the dude wrong | 08:57 |
| Erin | CrowX-, no backups lol ? | 08:57 |
| CrowX- | Erin: those were the backups :D | 08:57 |
| yhusha | it says apt-get not found | 08:58 |
| almoxarife | oh dear, | 08:58 |
| Erin | CrowX-, learn to use parted its much better | 08:58 |
| RJ45-Q | I reckon I have-to re-install 'nautilus-share' | 08:58 |
| CrowX- | Erin: how is it better? I don't mind trying new things, but I'd like to know the difference first | 08:58 |
| RJ45-Q | I'll try that. | 08:58 |
| Erin | CrowX-, works with GPT for one thing | 08:58 |
| shwouchk | I disabled search results in 'privacy' and uninstalled the shopping-lens, yet I still get commercial suggestions at the bottom of the 'all programs' list. What do I need to do to completely get rid of this/ | 08:59 |
| llutz_ | CrowX-: parted has advantages when i comes to gpt-drives. for old msdos-patitiontables fdisk still works fine | 08:59 |

| heoyea | izx: wrong name? | 09:01 |
| Erin | izx, you got the name of the package wrong | 09:01 |
| almoxarife | shwouchk: did you also un-install the 'ubuntu software center'? | 09:01 |
| shwouchk | almoxarife, no | 09:01 |
| RJ45-Q | 'nautilus-share' is included with the OS from first install, so I should not have-to re-download it from pkgs.org and re-install it, but Ubuntu is made by retards 25% of the time, so I'm gonna have-to I guess. | 09:02 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, WOW son. | 09:02 |
| shwouchk | heoyea, great suggestion. I'm glad #ubuntu has people such as yourself in the community | 09:02 |
| almoxarife | shwouchk: give it a try, i assume you dont want pay-ware | 09:02 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, tried using apt-get and calming your attitude down ? | 09:02 |

| RJ45-Q | Erin: I should not have-to apt-get either!, for Samba! | 09:03 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, thats like saying you shouldn't haveto breathe | 09:03 |
| RJ45-Q | ...at-least it's not Apple. | 09:03 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, yea its free try to remember that. | 09:03 |
| almoxarife | shwouchk: i can imagine | 09:03 |
| RJ45-Q | or at-least it's not Windows | 09:03 |
| shwouchk | almoxarife, there is no package called ubuntu-software-center... do you know how it is actually called? | 09:04 |

| RJ45-Q | Erin: it needs a fresh start anyway. | 09:07 |
| RJ45-Q | ;) | 09:07 |
| Erin | did you update kernel ? | 09:07 |
| Erin | thats only reason to reboot | 09:08 |
| RJ45-Q | I don't think so, why? | 09:08 |
| RJ45-Q | lol | 09:08 |
| almoxarife | Erin: he wants to reboot! | 09:08 |
| Erin | so then you don't need to reboot | 09:08 |
| Erin | I try to teach people this isn't windows | 09:08 |
| Erin | every right mouse click doesn't require a reboot lol | 09:08 |
| alusion | Erin, what command can I issue to find out more about a process? | 09:08 |
| RJ45-Q | ...and I was all like, "screw you muther ******, I'ma gon' reboot man! | 09:08 |
| RJ45-Q | "* | 09:09 |
| Erin | alusion, like what exactly ? | 09:09 |
| * RJ45-Q reboots | 09:09 | |
| alusion | Erin: I issue pgrep, and wanna find out more about a process id | 09:09 |
| alusion | # | 09:09 |
| alusion | ykno? lol I wanna know what is running on my system | 09:09 |
| Erin | alusion, ps -ef | 09:10 |
| almoxarife | RJ45-Q: there is a practical reason for a reboot, its a guarantee that the sys will restart next time, restarting a service only tells you that the service runs post what ever you did, its not a server working moon shots or keeping us safe, reboot brother! | 09:10 |
| Erin | alusion, or install htop | 09:10 |
| alusion | ah yeah I use htop. Thanks, hey also -- how do I check my zeitgeist logs if ya know | 09:10 |
| llutz_ | almoxarife: ps -fp <pid from pgrep> | 09:10 |
| llutz_ | alusion: ^^ sry almoxarife | 09:10 |

| RJ45-Q | ...finally | 09:11 |
| texta | Hey guys, my mounted disks aren't showing up in nautilus on the left | 09:11 |
| texta | any idea how I can get them up there? They are mounted via fstab | 09:11 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, welcome back big scaredy cat | 09:12 |
| heoyea | zeigesit is a logger, think of it as recent documents on steriods | 09:12 |
| almoxarife | texta: sure they are mounted? | 09:12 |
| texta | almoxarife: I've been using them all day :[p | 09:12 |
| texta | :P* | 09:12 |
| alusion | The man has arrived. | 09:12 |
| almoxarife | texta: what changes in nautilus? | 09:12 |
| Erin | I was wondering where parsnip was | 09:13 |
| Erin | he is always in here | 09:13 |
| texta | What changes? | 09:13 |
| RJ45-Q | the one thin g I hate about Linux is all the bullshit yer have-to go through to install one f****** program or get a service to work... not like that with Windows, I hate Windows so bloody much, but Linux has a lot of 'deal breaking' crap. | 09:13 |
| RJ45-Q | thing* | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Erin: howdy | 09:13 |
| texta | The only storage devices that appear in nautilus (as drives) are two disks I _haven't_ got in fstab | 09:13 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, usually its sudo apt-get install 'app' alot easier than windows | 09:13 |
| heoyea | RJ45-Q: dont update =D | 09:13 |
| texta | that are NTFS formatted | 09:13 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: what if you have no Internet connection?, screwed much? | 09:13 |
| almoxarife | RJ45-Q: believe it or not this channel has to stay kiddie friendly, so be nice | 09:14 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, no? if you have the .deb file for the app | 09:14 |
| Erin | no need interwebz | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: with windows you need to know the site for the app you want (not always obvious), in Ubuntu you can just search software centre | 09:14 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, you bash linux alot yet you use it. | 09:14 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, I think it stems from you being a 'noob' no offense ;-P | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: you need web access to install apps in Windows too. | 09:15 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: I no, that's how I install y programs usually. '1 .deb to manually go, about 103 more to go, for one program :-/' | 09:15 |
| RJ45-Q | know* | 09:15 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 09:16 |
| Erin | done | 09:16 |
| Erin | O_o | 09:16 |
| Erin | o_O | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: with Windows, use a web connection and get everything setup then use it. Simple | 09:16 |
| ace_leo | hello anyone there? Noob here | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ace_leo: howdy | 09:16 |
| almoxarife | RJ45-Q: perhaps what you need is a really configurable desktop, like KDE | 09:16 |
| llutz_ | Erin: "done" if you got all the depending .debs too | 09:17 |
| Erin | llutz, like a boss! | 09:17 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: say ur only access to thi Internet is via a Library computer running Windows, and ya gotta get some apps for ur Ubuntu at home.. welcome to hell. | 09:17 |
| ace_leo | hey ActionParsnip: fine how are you? | 09:17 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, well id say get internet acess at home lol. | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ace_leo: working hard and hardly working | 09:17 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: not so easy when you really poor. | 09:17 |
| ace_leo | lol nice | 09:18 |
| Erin | I am really poor | 09:18 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: I had this problem | 09:18 |
| Erin | in the US you can get broadband internet almost free if you meet income guidelines | 09:18 |
| Erin | idk what country you are in tho | 09:18 |
| RJ45-Q | Erin: I live in UK | 09:18 |
| llutz_ | RJ45-Q: there is software creating list of packages to download in that case, but you're true, linux without internet is no fun (like all other OSes too) | 09:18 |
| ace_leo | ActionParsnip: Trying to get myself accustomed to this ubuntu | 09:18 |
| Erin | might have similar program | 09:18 |
| ace_leo | ActionParsnip: recent convert from windows :) | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ace_leo: you will as you use the OS | 09:18 |
| Erin | any computer without internet is no fun | 09:19 |
| Erin | its like being on a desert island alone | 09:19 |
| Erin | only coconuts to keep you company. | 09:19 |
| ace_leo | Erin: been there :) | 09:19 |
| Vista | anyone use powernap, does it actually work? | 09:19 |
| almoxarife | RJ45-Q: you at the library on a win? | 09:19 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, bring your desktop pc to the library and hook it up to one of their monitors ;-p | 09:20 |
| RJ45-Q | Windows is a lot easyer with no Internet, 'cos to install an average program, you just need ONE .EXE, on Ubuntu you've got a crap loada dependency .DEBS. | 09:20 |
| ace_leo | ActionParsnip: any tips for a newbie? so far this ubuntu is giving me headaches lol | 09:20 |
| almoxarife | Vista: powernaps always worked for me, even the 10min ones | 09:20 |
| Erin | RJ45-Q, you got a point | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: try install Gimp in Windows, its not one EXE | 09:20 |
| RJ45-Q | almoxarife: thankfully not at the moment! | 09:20 |
| Erin | well night all me and the puppy gonna go cuddle in bed ;-) | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ace_leo: just use the OS, get used to it | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: each app having its own install stuff is also why WIndows wastes resources | 09:21 |
| almoxarife | RJ45-Q: so why are you using a linux system if it sux so much? i missed something | 09:21 |
| Erin | almoxarife, u missed the part where he said ubuntu was made by retards | 09:21 |
| Erin | LOL | 09:21 |
| RJ45-Q | I just want some sort of Ubuntu-like alternative, that installs programs in a very similar way to Windows, and no, not Wine, it sucks ball, also no ethics. | 09:21 |
| RJ45-Q | sucks balls* | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: in Linux, libraries already in RAM are not loaded over and over, its a waste. Many apps can use a single lib from the HDD and in RAM, so it is more efficient in that way, also upgrades to the single lib upgrade ALL apps. Windows doesn't have this so upgrades use more data and are slower | 09:22 |
| almoxarife | Erin: that was not nice | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | windows is really hard to install things in | 09:22 |
| iceroot | RJ45-Q: if you want an installer like on windows and not like apt-get you dont have a clue what you are talking about | 09:22 |
| almoxarife | i hate ubuntu, let me in | 09:22 |
| Erin | almoxarife, yea yet he uses it | 09:22 |
| RJ45-Q | I said a small percentage of Ubuntu is made by 'tards, not all of it. | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | RJ45-Q: I can punch holes in both OSes, in short, every OS sucks | 09:23 |
| iceroot | RJ45-Q: and stop your stupud discussion here, if you have a support question feel free to ask real questions, everything else goes to #ubuntu-offtopic or /dev/null | 09:23 |
| ace_leo | I guess the whole 'Linux for Human Beings' is out of the window :) | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: indeed | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: RT-11 doesn't | 09:23 |
| rudivs | is it a good idea to disable all ppa's before upgrading to 12.10? | 09:23 |
| RJ45-Q | ActionParsnip: true | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rudivs: yes | 09:23 |
| iceroot | rudivs: its done automaticly by the upgrade-tool | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | rudivs: yes, very much so | 09:23 |
| rudivs | thanks all | 09:24 |

| master | how do i block any gtk3 apps from installing? Lick pinning libgtk3 to nothing | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | master: that seems like an odd thing to do | 09:57 |
| master | gordonjcp, still.. | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | master: you could try only installing old software | 09:58 |
| gordonjcp | master: most things that use gtk will be ported to gtk3 sooner or later | 09:58 |
| master | well, sometimes it is in the dependencies. I want to block any app from installing that has dependencies on gtk3 | 09:58 |
| gordonjcp | why? | 09:59 |
| master | simple as that | 09:59 |
| master | gordonjcp, ugly. and does not look integrated in my desktop | 09:59 |
| master | * -d | 09:59 |
| gordonjcp | master: well, don't install gtk apps then | 09:59 |
| almoxarife | master: i know, delete the lib, create a link to gtk2 with the same name, wont keep it from installing but when it crashes you know you got a gtk3 app from running | 10:00 |
| master | there are plenty of gtk2 apps that i like | 10:00 |
| master | almoxarife, i rather use apt to block the apps | 10:00 |
| nowayride | So /etc/xorg.conf is depreciated right? Where should we be saving custom modelines? | 10:00 |
| almoxarife | master: what magic you going to apt with to keep gkt3 apps from installing, short of not installing the app? | 10:01 |
| erkon | Netinstall installer is not dowloading anything from de mirror | 10:01 |
| master | almoxarife, exactly i do not want any random metapackage to install gtk3 by accident. | 10:02 |
| almoxarife | erkon: unfortunate, the nick who brought it up was all excited about finding the one mirror that worked, perhaps it was not 'de' | 10:02 |

| master | almoxarife, How do i blacklist any package? | 10:04 |
| erkon | apt-get is not installed in netinstall | 10:04 |
| erkon | so if you please do not know , do not answer | 10:04 |
| erkon | so I'm very disappoined that with ubuntu mess | 10:04 |
| master | apt-get is in the netboot iso | 10:05 |
| texta | Ugh | 10:05 |
| texta | so my mount points need to be in /media rather than /mnt | 10:05 |
| texta | to make them appear in the nautilus side-pane :\ | 10:05 |
| almoxarife | erkon: gosh, you sound disappointed, i am feeling bad for adding to your calamity | 10:05 |
| master | texta, you could symlink /mnt to /media afaik | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | or visa versa. ;-) | 10:06 |
| texta | Probably a better idea, I have a folder called /net too | 10:06 |
| texta | which has all my mounted nfs shares :p | 10:06 |
| erkon | apt-get not found | 10:06 |
| erkon | check it fist | 10:07 |
| erkon | apt-get is not in netboot | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | apt-get install apt-get :-P | 10:07 |
| erkon | sure | 10:07 |
| erkon | LOL | 10:07 |
| erkon | can you please tell ubuntu to delete old miniCD they are useless | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | never ysed the netboot here. | 10:07 |
| almoxarife | erkon: i will add it to my xmas list | 10:08 |
| master | erkon, you must have a corrupted iso. both apt-get and aptitude is on the netboot iso | 10:08 |
| erkon | well it is not | 10:08 |
| almoxarife | dr_willis: i used it, works, but i was not trying to install noahs version of ubuntu | 10:08 |
| master | download a working iso | 10:08 |
| erkon | md5sum is correct | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | nooahbuntu | 10:09 |
| erkon | the big question is why ubuntu keeps not working isos? | 10:09 |
| master | erkon, no idea | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | historical reasons | 10:10 |
| erkon | is there anyone from ubuntu in irc ? | 10:10 |
| almoxarife | dr_willis: version -2bc the 'pluvial' edition | 10:10 |

| rudivs | can I "pause" the file downloading during a distribution upgrade process? with my current connection, a 1.4GB download will take about 18 hours it seems... | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rudivs: what are you downloading using? | 10:26 |
| almoxarife | master: i am looking at the iso content, i wonder why i dont see it? | 10:26 |
| rudivs | ActionParsnip, the Distribution Upgrade tool | 10:26 |
| bou | ActionParsnip, no, from USB | 10:26 |
| bou | ActionParsnip, from a USb from which, incidentally, I installed Ubuntu on another laptop, fully successfully | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | perhaps the italler installd it. | 10:27 |
| almoxarife | dr_willis: could be, them itallers are tricky | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bou: same difference | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bou: you can use the omgubuntu guide called 'sticking it to grub' to chroot to the installed OS and reinstate grub | 10:29 |
| bou | ActionParsnip, i installed ubuntu from usb external device, not just the grub, that is what didn't install (properly) | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bou: you can chroot and fix it easily | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | may want to make sure the bios dosent have a "protect the mbr/antivirus" setting also | 10:30 |
| bou | ActionParsnip, thanks for that, however i have no idea what it even means to "Chroot" so i guess it is another trip to google, | 10:30 |
| bou | I'd appreciate if some one could take it from here: | 10:31 |
| rudivs | ActionParsnip, it gives me a Cancel button - if I press it, will it keep the files it has downloaded so far or delete them? ie can I use the Cancel button and then start the upgrade process from where it left off later? | 10:31 |

| Bartzy | Hey | 10:35 |
| DrLinux | I can't connect with ethernet cable, only wlan - I need to get my full duplex 100/100 working in an hour. Guidance needed! | 10:35 |
| dknight | has anyone tried kexi? I liked sequel pro but it is only for Mac. any suggestions? | 10:35 |
| Bartzy | For a developer laptop - What version of Ubuntu should I install ? 12.10 ? | 10:35 |
| dknight | Bartzy: your statement is ironical | 10:36 |
| dknight | a developer knows exactly what (s)he wants on the system | 10:36 |
| dr_willis | DrLinux: plug it in.. check dmesg output for errors. | 10:36 |
| dknight | Bartzy: if its a wanna developer in question, then ask the master | 10:36 |
| dr_willis | DrLinux: try with a live cd.. see if it works there. to prove its not a hardware issue. | 10:37 |
| Bartzy | dknight: What? I just need a stable system to web develop on. is 12.10 stable? Why should I go for 12.04 LTS? | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | Bartzy: doubt if it matters much. | 10:38 |
| bou | dr_willis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair is the page i reported in the first place that i was following instructions, and given that it can not give any more generic advice, advises to come to somewhere like this for further help taking from my results, which i have also pasted | 10:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Bartzy 12.04 and 12.10 are both stable, choose the one you prefer | 10:38 |
| Bartzy | MonkeyDust: What are the differences ? | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | bou so you did use the boot-repair tool? | 10:38 |
| DrLinux | dr_willis, I'm sure it's software. | 10:38 |
| bou | which i can paste again: can some one help by reading this pastebin and advise what i should do further please? | 10:39 |
| bou | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392367/ | 10:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Bartzy i'l sure there are reviews that describe the differences | 10:39 |
| bou | thanks | 10:39 |
| bou | dr_willis, as stated in my first sentence, yes i did | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | DrLinux: if a live cd works. see what module its loading for the nic. | 10:39 |
| Bartzy | MonkeyDust: And it's not an issue to use Gnome 3 and not unity ? | 10:39 |
| bou | but it didn't repair it enough for ubuntu to be able to boot so i am asking here for futher help | 10:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Bartzy unity is a shell over gnome3 | 10:39 |

| Bartzy | MonkeyDust: So using Gnome Shell instead of Unity? Is it during installation or afterwards ? | 10:40 |
| MonkeyDust | Bartzy yeah, you can do it afterwards, i don't use unity myself | 10:41 |
| dknight | Bartzy: go for the latest stable release. Use LTS when you want to use the same system for a very long time. | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | bou got a pastebin of the boot-repair info file? you did chevk the bios to make sure no mbr protection features are enabled? | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Bartzy tip: first get to know ubuntu, before you start using it for development purposes | 10:41 |
| RJ45-Q | Samba is set up and works when the service is enabled in the command line, but when I check 'personal file sharing' in preferences it says the feature can't be enable because the required packages are not installed!, what packages am I missing? | 10:41 |
| Bartzy | MonkeyDust: I'm using Debian right now. Is it that different ? | 10:41 |
| Bartzy | dknight: Thanks. | 10:42 |
| Bartzy | MonkeyDust: And do you use gnome shell, or just gnome 2? :) Is there an option besides gnome shell and unity ? | 10:42 |
| Bartzy | I'm currently using gnome 2 with Debian. Interested to move forward but I'm afraid of the change ;) | 10:42 |
| bou | dr_willis, i got a pastebin of the boot-repair info file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392367/ | 10:42 |

| spidernik84 | Hi everyone. I was wondering: when building a deb package, is it preferrable to build a version of the package for each release it should be installed on? Say I build it for Lucid, do I need to build a Precise version for better performances/features/compatibility or can I use the same one? | 11:43 |
| dsenator | ActionParsnip, i will follow all your directions here and note it so when I switch over to windows I can do what you say without having this xchat on still... so ple tell me | 11:43 |
| narcos | Hi all. What's the best way to remote GUI into Ubuntu 12.10 desktop? I'm trying VNC, but am getting a boring grey background (after following https://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/how-to-install-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-server-12-04/) | 11:43 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: haven't tried yet. will try in 10 | 11:43 |
| phax | MonkeyDust, i don't know why this failed in the first place | 11:44 |
| Iohn | I recently accidentally deleted a bunch of files from a partition. I thought I'd be smart to create an image of it, using TestDisk to avoid any further writings possibly damaging the files. Now I've got the ISO but I'm not sure of how to try to extract the deleted files, any ideas? The partition was my home, partitioned in Ext4 | 11:44 |
| MonkeyDust | phax got to go, i'm sure someone else can help, good luck | 11:45 |
| phax | thx | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dsenator: win device manager, properties of device, disable wake up and power management | 11:45 |
| abhitest | ActionParsnip: yes i ran update-grub and it do not work | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Iohn: use your backups | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | abhitest: my grub skills are slim | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | abhitest: the guys in #grub may be able to help some | 11:47 |
| abhitest | ActionParsnip: ok | 11:48 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: no stall whatsoever using gFTP | 11:49 |
| yacc | spidernik84, well, that depends, usually the big difference between distributions are libraries => hence a package for xxx will not work on older/newer distributions that miss the relevant version (or a compatible one). | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: cool :) | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: does the client show it switching to different transfer modes? | 11:50 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: first Binary, then Passive | 11:51 |
| Iohn | ActionParsnip: The directory I deleted sadly has no recent backup. Which is why I hoped to be able to extract the deleted files from the ISO. Is there any possiblity of acquiring these files? | 11:51 |
| spidernik84 | yacc, thanks, so it's generally better to compile it for different distributions to avoid issues | 11:51 |
| Kartagis | do I need PASV before ls? | 11:51 |
| obert | how to wget an entire site? | 11:51 |
| Kartagis | obert: wget -m | 11:51 |
| Metrics | obert: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Iohn: then you can try foremost. You will need a partition as big as the partition to spit all the data to (deleted and current). The data may be damaged or it may be fine | 11:52 |
| Kartagis | obert: one caveat though, if the server has php files, they are first processed, then wget'd | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: try it, not sure | 11:52 |
| obert | mirror | 11:53 |
| Iohn | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, I'll give it a go. | 11:53 |
| obert | i still download one only index | 11:53 |
| obert | bbl | 11:53 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: heh, typing passive worked | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: groovy :) | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Iohn: its gonna take a while | 11:54 |
| rudivs | I use dual monitors in ubuntu, with Sticky Edges turned off. Moving from left monitor to right, the cursor moves across smoothly, moving from right to left, it sticks. Is this expected behaviour, or a bug? ie, should it move smoothly both ways across the divide? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | rudivs: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 11:56 |
| rudivs | ActionParsnip, precise | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rudivs: are there bugs reported? | 11:56 |
| rudivs | ActionParsnip, there are bugs for Sticky Edges, but I haven't found any for "one way only" sticky edges | 11:58 |
| dsenator | ActionParsnip, once I do that what next do I do... I am asking cos I have to exit the IRC chat to get to windows | 11:58 |

| dr_willis | !version | Kishi | 11:59 |
| spidernik84 | cat /etc/issue | 11:59 |
| ubot93 | Kishi: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 11:59 |
| Kishi | Mhm, so it's precise after all | 12:00 |
| Kishi | Then I'm having some trouble | 12:00 |
| Kishi | I'm trying to install iplist (iplist.sourceforge.net) | 12:00 |
| Kishi | Site instructed me to create a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d with my version to add iplist to repositories | 12:01 |
| Kishi | And so I did, typing precise as my version | 12:01 |
| Kishi | Homever something didn't work out | 12:01 |
| rudivs | ActionParsnip, seems to only be an issue when launcher is set to hidden | 12:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Kishi: delete the file you made | 12:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Kishi: there is a command to do it automatically | 12:04 |
| bazhang | abhitest, #suse | 12:04 |
| Kishi | Cause it was throwing errors during updates | 12:04 |
| ale_ | hi, what do I need to do to have the internet turn on when I turn on the computer? it takes about 10 minues to turn on each time | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Kishi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ssakar/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install iplist | 12:04 |
| ale_ | it says "waiting for network connection" | 12:04 |
| abhitest | bazhang: i first installed suse with /boot in normal partition and / inside encprted lvm. "Then" I installed lubuntu 12.10 and now grub shows only lubuntu. so its lubuntu issue. not suse. | 12:05 |
| ale_ | and stays waiting.. and when it turns on no network until I do "sudo service network-manager start" | 12:05 |
| ale_ | how do I get that to start by default? surely the internet should work out of the box | 12:05 |
| ale_ | also with new ubuntu if there's a system problem it doesn't show me the error | 12:05 |
| ale_ | it just wants to send it somewhere | 12:05 |
| ale_ | :( | 12:05 |
| Kishi | ActionParsnip: Didn't work | 12:06 |
| Kishi | ActionParsnip: I got 404 | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | it does work outof the box on bootup here for me ale_ sounds like you got somthing crashing. How are you connected to the internet? | 12:06 |
| Kishi | Oh wait I get it | 12:07 |
| Kishi | There is no version for precise available in the repository | 12:07 |
| Kishi | Sucks. | 12:07 |
| Kishi | ActionParsnip: How do I remove this repository now? It's useless and keeps throwing up errors in console while updating | 12:08 |
| datapolitical | Question: I have a p5k ws motherboard and want to get a killer graphics card, what are the limiting factors | 12:11 |

| dr_willis | datapolitical: the amount of $$$ you want to waste :) | 12:12 |
| Kishi | Metrics: Oh yeah, commenting the lines. How could I not come up with this myself? Hahaha. Thanks. | 12:12 |
| datapolitical | From a technical perspective | 12:13 |
| Metrics | kishi: another option is to delete the lines you dont need anymore and run update :) | 12:13 |
| OerHeks | Kishi, open softwarecentre, edit sources and remove the ppa | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | datapolitical: Im not clear on what sort of answer you are expecting really... | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | If you want a suggestion on what card/make to get for the lease amount of problems? or some other specific needs? | 12:14 |
| Kishi | The PPA might be useful, but only when its maintainer adds repositories for precise version for Ubuntu | 12:14 |
| Kishi | I guess I should bug him about that. | 12:14 |
| llutz | datapolitical: whatever a "killer graphicscard" might be, ask in #hardware | 12:15 |

| MasKBoss | desu, ati radeon 9200 pro | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | MasKBoss: could install xfce4 and use the xfce desktop | 13:21 |

| MasKBoss | ActionParsnip yeah, lots of free space.. | 13:26 |
| phix | desu: no no, ALT+SYSRQ+S then ALT+SYSRQ+B is better :) | 13:27 |

| ubot93 | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 13:34 |

| seednode | Mine has... Two lines outside of my aliases | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: you can do that on iPhone too..... | 14:15 |
| desu | copy the one from /etc/skel/.bashrc? | 14:16 |
| Erealz | iphone for yuppies dicks | 14:16 |
| seednode | Oh, right, I'm thinking of the ~/.bashrc | 14:16 |
| rober | greetings everyone, is a pleasure to be here with you :) | 14:16 |
| usr13_ | Erealz: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 14:16 |
| Erealz | i dontlike there comunity there are all mean | 14:16 |
| bitnumus | hmm, thanks ActionParsnip and seednode but i think the user i created (without -m) is a little screwed | 14:16 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| bitnumus | i tried removing using 'userdel' and readding with -m | 14:16 |
| seednode | My .bashrc in /etc/skel/.bashrc is 4 lines | 14:16 |
| bitnumus | would that cause issues? | 14:16 |
| desu | ...Errrr | 14:16 |
| usr13_ | Erealz: (The video is priceless!:) | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: yes but it does what you said, you can install apps. | 14:17 |
| desu | give me a sec | 14:17 |
| Erealz | i can install apps in a 25 phone buddy | 14:17 |
| Erealz | that dosnt mean it better then an android | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: exactly, so how is that being 'tech savvy'? | 14:17 |
| Erealz | and you aguement is laughable | 14:17 |
| dsa | so guys by backing up / entire root i'll be able to recover everything to the way it was yeah? | 14:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: i'm not making an arguement, i'm not seeing how installing apps is 'tech savvy' | 14:18 |
| usr13_ | dsa: Just clone it. | 14:18 |
| dsa | usr13, clone is the command? | 14:18 |
| Erealz | no | 14:19 |
| Erealz | android | 14:19 |
| Erealz | is | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: especially when 'yupie dicks' can do the same thing on iphone | 14:19 |
| Erealz | the plat form | 14:19 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 14:19 |
| ubot93 | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 14:19 |
| Erealz | ioscommunity is stupid | 14:19 |
| bitnumus | By default, using 'useradd -m username' should it have a shell prompt name ? | 14:19 |

| dhanasekaran | HI Guys where i can find dhcpd logs i am using isc-dhcp-server please guide me | 14:19 |
| Pici | Erealz: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: stll doesn't answer me, but its offtopic here | 14:20 |
| usr13_ | dsa: No, it's just an exact image of a drive. You just put two identical drives in your system, clone to the slave. If anything happens to the primary drive, switch them. | 14:20 |
| desu | seednode, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1394526/ | 14:20 |
| dhanasekaran | HI Guys where i can find dhcpd logs i am using isc-dhcp-server please guide me | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | dhanasekaran: look in /var/log is a good start | 14:20 |
| dsa | usr13, oh =/ | 14:20 |
| Erealz | exactly relax | 14:20 |
| Erealz | it not serious | 14:21 |
| Erealz | you takeing it personal do you work for apple or somthing | 14:21 |
| Erealz | oh | 14:21 |
| usr13_ | dsa: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/2-methods-to-clone-your-linux-hard-drive/ | 14:21 |
| Erealz | you own an iphone | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: no, i don't. Your statement just makes no sense | 14:21 |
| dsa | i was more looking for system restore option | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Erealz: i use android, but you knew that | 14:21 |
| Erealz | so you say | 14:21 |
| Erealz | but | 14:22 |
| dsa | like the snapshot example of virtualbox | 14:22 |
| * ActionParsnip moves on | 14:22 | |
| Erealz | other say the same i do | 14:22 |
| desu | seednode, try that one, and look at this for playing around with bashrc https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash | 14:22 |
| Erealz | so i know im not the only one | 14:22 |
| Erealz | so i guess it a matter of opinion | 14:22 |
| Pici | Erealz: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. If you want to chit-chat, there is #ubuntu-offtopic. | 14:23 |
| usr13_ | dsa: Cloning is the ultimate system restore option, IMO. It's much simplier. It is a complete snapshot, personal files and all. | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | desu: how big is your vbox disk file? | 14:23 |
| Erealz | pici | 14:23 |
| Erealz | someone chit chatting with me | 14:23 |
| Bobbie | Hello, I have a question about ubunut :o is this the right channel for that ? | 14:23 |
| desu | ActionParsnip, I don't have a virtual box... | 14:23 |
| usr13_ | dsa: Are you using vbox? | 14:23 |
| Erealz | you saying i cant reply | 14:23 |
| dsa | usr13, yeah i know i used ghost for that before but thats not the idea | 14:23 |
| Pici | Erealz: You're both offtopic. ActionParsnip has stopped, please do the same. | 14:23 |
| Erealz | np iv already had to say what i had to | 14:24 |
| dsa | usr13, no i'm not | 14:24 |
| Bobbie | I deleted my ubuntu partition and now I cant boot into my windows 7 OS, I keep getting this GRUB rescue screen for some reason | 14:24 |
| usr13_ | dsa: I just keep /home/ on a separate partition. | 14:24 |
| dsa | i was just saying like a snapshot works on a virtual machine | 14:24 |
| Erealz | do you mind stoping telling me this im quite aware of this. thanks | 14:24 |
| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, i cannot even use tab completion on my new user, any idea why that would be? it doesnt feel like it was created right | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | Bobbie: need to run the windows repair function | 14:24 |
| Bobbie | how ? :o I cannot even boot a cd | 14:25 |
| === albert is now known as Guest72822 | ||
| Bobbie | the only thing I got to work from a cd is damn small linux | 14:25 |
| Bobbie | hoping that might give me the possibility to run something else | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: copy the one from /root then uncomment the bottom 3 lines, then run: source ~/.bashrc | 14:25 |
| Bobbie | I cant run my windows 7 recovery disk for some reason | 14:25 |
| === Guest72822 is now known as Phryq | ||
| narendra_ | how can i access ext4 drive of ubuntu10.04 in win7 64 bit??? any free software or system setting??? | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | Bobbie: you have the windows CD? change your bios to boot from the cd and repair away | 14:25 |
| dsa | i'm worried about system state services and settings | 14:25 |
| Bobbie | and I cant run my ubuntu cd either | 14:25 |
| Bobbie | yeah I have a recovery disk but it wont boot it, grub rescue says that it doesnt recognize the file system | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: what happens when you try the ubuntu CD? | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | Bobbie: could your optical drive have failed? | 14:26 |
| dsa | i dont belive /home is responsible for all that | 14:26 |
| Bobbie | nothing it also says it doesnt recognize the filesystem | 14:26 |
| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, what would be the reason it didnt create it right in the first place any ideas? there is a .bashrc and home DIR etc, would tab completion be something stored in .bashrc too? | 14:26 |
| dsa | right? | 14:26 |
| usr13_ | dsa: No it's not. But what type of customized system state, services and settings to you have? | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: its told to start in ~/.bashrc you may find one is there, just needs the lines uncommenting | 14:26 |
| Bobbie | I mean I can try to run the ubuntu cd again and see what happens if you'd like but last time it didnt do anything | 14:27 |
| usr13_ | dsa: ... beyond default ones. | 14:27 |
| dsa | now it's like virgin just installed | 14:27 |
| bitnumus | hmm | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: black screen at boot? | 14:27 |
| dsa | but thats the idea for now | 14:27 |
| Bobbie | yes | 14:27 |
| funky1 | anyone experience with mplayer and dvb-s disecq settings in channels.conf? | 14:27 |
| funky1 | everything on disecq 0 works fine but none on disecq 1, when i run mplayer with -v i see it does not pick up the proper disecq setting, the ones that should be disecq 1 appear as disecq 0, e.g.: SAT, NUM: 53, NUM_FIELDS: 6, NAME: on8, FREQ: 12515000, SRATE: 8888000, POL: H, DISEQC: 0 PIDS: 200 210 0 , entry in channels conf is: on8:12515:h:1:8888:200:210:2 so i thought the disecq setting comes after the polarization setting,... | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: then that's something, not noting | 14:27 |
| Bobbie | grub rescue then pops up | 14:27 |
| dsa | usr13, probably i wont mess it up again but just in case.. | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: what video chip do you use? | 14:27 |
| Bobbie | errmm my laptop uses an nvidia m330 or something like that if I recall correctly | 14:28 |
| dsa | usr13, and when i start installing and setting up my stuff ill do the same if all is good | 14:28 |
| Bobbie | ah | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: have you tried the boot option: nomodeset | 14:28 |
| Bobbie | I got the ubuntu disc to boot | 14:28 |
| Bobbie | its booting | 14:28 |
| Bobbie | the ubuntu disc | 14:28 |
| usr13_ | dsa: If you did get some sort of system restore going for yourself, that would be about the time you'd learn enough not to hose your system anymore. Linux is a bit simplier than you realize at first. | 14:28 |
| Bobbie | lets see how far I get its loading up | 14:29 |
| usr13_ | dsa: We don't have the smoke and mirrors that MS Windows has, (like a registry file). | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13_: gconf is not too dissimilar | 14:30 |
| Bobbie | oh well this is taking some time xd. | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: CDs aren't fast | 14:30 |
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||
| rober | bobbie: Did yo had dual boot on your box?? | 14:31 |
| Bobbie | yes I had | 14:31 |
| dsa | usr13, the problem was webmin > uninstall > zentyal > zentyal boom messed up my network somehow then remove zentyal and some services were still there | 14:31 |
| Bobbie | then I deleted the ubuntu partition while I was on windows 7 | 14:31 |
| Bobbie | which I found out was a stupid thing to do | 14:31 |
| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: you can make its easier by resizing the NTFS in Windows | 14:31 |
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||
| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| usr13_ | dsa: Don't use webmin | 14:32 |
| AnnieM | Hi folks. I tried to install Ubuntu on my win7 drive and now I have no MBR or GRUB. Win 7 via CD does not see the C:\. Cannot fix mbr, and I have no linux experience. Help? Please? | 14:32 |
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||
| dsa | i mean i messed up probably could repair all that but i thought it would be cleaner to start off fresh | 14:32 |
| Bobbie | I dont quite get what you mean with that actionparsnip | 14:32 |
| dsa | usr13, yeah thats why i changed to zentyal | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | dsa | 14:33 |
| ubot93 | dsa: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 14:33 |
| usr13_ | dsa: If you hose your system up, it is a learning experience, plain and simple. | 14:33 |
| Bobbie | oh gee, you weren't kiddin CD's are extremely slow. | 14:33 |
| dsa | right it is | 14:33 |
| Bobbie | Ill just grab a drink Im right back | 14:34 |
| rober | bobbie : Thats why l prefer booting from my usb pendriver :P | 14:34 |
| dsa | so you are saying there is no system backup working on ubuntu | 14:34 |
| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||
| dsa | like a system restore on windows | 14:34 |
| dsa | ? | 14:34 |
| yellabs-r2 | does anyone know how ubuntu one interface was coded ? it looks a bit odd | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dsa: you can manually backup | 14:34 |
| dsa | shadow copy | 14:35 |
| yellabs-r2 | not gtk i guess | 14:35 |
| usr13_ | I just dont think there is an automated app that you are thinking of. | 14:35 |
| dsa | manually backup what ? individual config files? | 14:35 |
| Bobbie | Im back | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | yellabs-r2: I believe it's python based, look at the deps on http://packages.ubuntu.com | 14:35 |
| Bobbie | lol | 14:35 |
| Bobbie | usb pendriver | 14:35 |
| usr13_ | Having backups is basically the same. | 14:35 |
| dsa | ActionParsnip, | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dsa: you can do the whole OS or just some folders etc | 14:35 |
| Bobbie | ah my ubuntu cd booted | 14:36 |
| === Guest44371 is now known as Adeel | ||
| dsa | whole OS yeah thats what i was asking for :D | 14:36 |
| SierraAR | How do I find what my computer's local IP address is? | 14:36 |
| Bobbie | I can choose between trying and installing ubunty | 14:36 |
| SierraAR | Using ubuntu 12.04 | 14:36 |
| dsa | ActionParsnip, like a snapshot on a virtual machine right? | 14:36 |
| Bobbie | ubuntu* should I just pick trying and can I fix my problem from there ? | 14:36 |
| rober | sierraar: ifconfig on terminal | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bobbie: you can kickoff the installer from the liveCD | 14:36 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest79924 | ||
| SierraAR | rober: Thanks | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dsa: sure, just copy the data in a liveCD and it's good to go | 14:36 |
| usr13_ | dsa: You can backup separate partitions or filesystems such as /home/ or / or /boot/ | 14:37 |
| rober | SierraAR: you from argentina? | 14:37 |
| dsa | ActionParsnip, now im lost :s | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dsa: its why a separate /home partition is advantageous | 14:37 |
| Bobbie | actionparsnip: should I choose "try ubuntu" and can I fix my boot problem from there or should I install it to fix it (which I assume takes a hell of a lot longer" | 14:37 |
| wukon | hi,i'm a newer | 14:37 |
| usr13_ | dsa: The short answer is "no" | 14:38 |
| rober | bobbie: you can fix it from "try ubuntu" | 14:38 |
| Bobbie | okay | 14:38 |
| dsa | usr13, right =/ | 14:38 |
| SierraAR | I have apache2/php5/etc installed and it's loading fine on my machine using my local ip, but other machines on the same network can't connect - Connection timed out | 14:38 |
| Bobbie | I just want to avoid stupid mistakes, which is why my questions may seem dumb | 14:38 |
| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, i did as you said, but it seems no commands work, i cannot run 'source ~/.bashrc' | 14:39 |
| bitnumus | -sh: 2: source: not found | 14:39 |
| yellabs-r2 | SierraAR have you tried local adres ? | 14:39 |
| tga | greetings, I could use a hand with setting up cherokee | 14:39 |
| tga | it works fine from the default location, but virtual dirs download php files instead of interpreting them | 14:40 |
| SierraAR | yellabs-r2, If by local address you mean like 192.168.1.1 then that's what we were attempting to connect to | 14:40 |
| Bobbie | okay, ubuntu has loaded. where do I go from here ? :oi | 14:40 |
| usr13_ | dsa: We do not have a "system restore" [AFIK] (comparable to what MS Windows has). And yes, I know that you can get a Linux system into an un-reparable state (just like you can a MS Windows system). | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: is the file there, you can run: ls -a to check | 14:40 |
| yellabs-r2 | ok | 14:40 |
| dsa | funniest thing i remeber from yesterday was even though i removed zentyal when shutting down there were still stuff there sttoping related to it i think modules XD | 14:40 |
| rober | bobbie: what do you need to do? | 14:40 |
| bitnumus | which file? i can edit .bashrc yes | 14:41 |
| Bobbie | well since I deleted my ubuntu partition I boot into grub rescue | 14:41 |
| Bobbie | while I want to boot into windows 7 | 14:41 |
| dsa | usr13, yeah i know my system was kind of broken not fubar | 14:41 |
| usr13_ | dsa: ... BUT, doing a fresh install and leaving /home/ as is... well, that is a pretty good alternative. | 14:41 |
| === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear | ||
| dsa | just i wanted a fresh install since i didnt do much to it | 14:41 |
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||

| MaxFrames | I have a series of complicated problems with ubuntu 12.04, I am testing on a virtual machine. | 14:43 |
| MaxFrames | the first problem is that on the logon screen only the english keyboard is available, and I need the Italian keyboard | 14:43 |
| rober | bobbie : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 14:43 |
| === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile | ||
| MaxFrames | once I login, I have both available, but no joy in the logon window | 14:43 |

| rober | bobbie : l had a similar problem, l fixed it with boot-repair :) | 14:45 |
| Bobbie | ah lol thanks Ill try it out and see where I get | 14:45 |
| === mogitox is now known as mogitaff | ||
| Bobbie | Ill update on here whether it worked/works or not xd | 14:45 |
| MaxFrames | so I do I choose a different keyboard in the logon window? | 14:46 |
| rober | bobbie : Cool, good luck buddy, and never give up. | 14:46 |
| MaxFrames | anyone? | 14:47 |
| ania_ | yes | 14:48 |
| rober | maxframes : go to "keyboard layout" and change it from there | 14:49 |
| MaxFrames | doesn't work... I have already selected Italian as default for all screens | 14:51 |
| Bobbie | oh awesome | 14:52 |
| Bobbie | it's fixed @ | 14:52 |
| Bobbie | ! | 14:52 |
| rober | bobbie : cool | 14:52 |

| tga | anyone running Cherokee? | 14:57 |
| tga | for some reason I can't get it to serve php out of vdirs | 14:57 |
| Pici | tga: You could try asking in either #ubuntu-server or #cherokee if you don't get a response here. | 14:58 |
| tga | ubuntu-server might be an idea, #cherokee is pretty much dead | 14:58 |

| makillo | I hate osx i'm sorry ;) | 15:00 |
| rober | makillo: theres only one thing l hate more then osx, its ms-windows xD | 15:00 |

| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, Is this related to my issue, the /bin/sh ? > main:x:1000:1000::/home/main:/bin/sh | 15:03 |
| desu | makillo, I agree with the Apple bit. I've never seen such utter shit being sold for quite so high. | 15:04 |
| desu | well except for maybe ambergris... | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: mine's: andy:x:1000:1000:andy,,,:/home/andy:/bin/bash | 15:05 |
| bitnumus | so what could cause this ? | 15:05 |
| bitnumus | im lost, i only used 'user add' | 15:05 |
| desu | useradd <username> | 15:05 |
| bitnumus | yesyes with -m | 15:05 |
| llutz | bitnumus: next time use "adduser" | 15:05 |
| makillo | Or adduser | 15:05 |
| [awal] | how to make ipv6 in ubuntu? | 15:06 |
| bitnumus | llutz, should i user 'userdel' and do that ? | 15:06 |
| bitnumus | and could you actually explain what its done wrong at all ? | 15:06 |
| llutz | bitnumus: sorry i haven't followed you issue. what is wrong withthat user? | 15:07 |
| llutz | your* | 15:07 |
| [awal] | how to make ipv6 | 15:07 |
| makillo | Desu : i think apple is more superficial than technological | 15:07 |
| bitnumus | everything lol, it has no shell prompt name, tab completion doesnt work and other simple things | 15:07 |
| bitnumus | just doesnt 'feel' right | 15:07 |
| llutz | bitnumus: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash main | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: nice :) | 15:08 |
| desu | makillo, related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFeC25BM9E0 | 15:08 |
| bitnumus | i coudlnt even use 'logout' | 15:08 |
| bitnumus | let me try that! | 15:08 |
| llutz | bitnumus: logout/relogin after that | 15:08 |
| bitnumus | yay :) | 15:08 |
| bitnumus | so what did that command actually do llutz ? | 15:09 |
| bitnumus | can i blame 'useradd' for this ? | 15:09 |
| llutz | bitnumus: changes your default shell into bin/bash instead of dash | 15:09 |

| jrib | proka: sounds like a bug. I'd check for open bugs and file one if it doesn't exist yet | 16:40 |
| simplew | i have gpg-agent running, still 'debuild -S' continues prompting for the gpg key becuase it asks twice fot the gpg key, can anyone clarify? | 16:41 |
| proka | jrib, Could it be that this specific USB is causing trouble, or just a generic bug? | 16:41 |
| jrib | proka: I'd assume it's related to the way that particular usb is formatted | 16:41 |
| proka | Also, how do I format a USB drive to fat32 using terminal? mkfs.vfat does not seem to do the job. | 16:42 |

| Varazir | My problem is that I have a script that turn on my TV and my AVR (using CEC HDMI lib), they need to be on befor lightdm/x starts | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Varazir: if you add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, it will run befor lightdm runs. You can also add a sleep command to add an N second pause so the devcie has time to come on etc | 16:53 |
| Varazir | ActionParsnip: ok I'll try it | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Varazir: use full paths to files etc, they will run as root | 16:53 |
| Varazir | ok | 16:53 |
| Varazir | ActionParsnip: ok | 16:53 |

| honvai | Hello. How to open ipad system? | 17:01 |
| xangua | honvai: depends on the ubuntu and iOS version you use | 17:01 |
| ejo | zizo: be sure that any special key on the keyboard for turning the wireless on/off is not the cause | 17:01 |
| zizo | ejo, I've checked it is on. | 17:02 |

| === Azonic is now known as Az0nic | ||
| zizo | feeshon, it is not detecting I think. | 17:05 |
| feeshon | zizo: at the top where it shows a add on card icon it should give you options for additional drivers | 17:06 |
| ejo | zizo: possibly because you are connected by wire now. Also do you have your wireless network configured to not advertise its SSID? If that's the case then you would need to use the "add a wireless network not shown here" option | 17:07 |

| daxxone1 | Will SuSE drivers work on ubuntu? | 18:18 |
| ThinkT510 | daxxone1: drivers are to do with the kernel, i doubt there are suse specific drivers | 18:18 |
| lhavelund | daxxone1: Most of the same software will, but not all. Also, you can't install yum packages safely. | 18:19 |

| lhavelund | yeehi: I'm careful and conservative; I'd probably do 10GB /, 20gb /home | 18:20 |
| lhavelund | (Not counting in swap) | 18:20 |
| yeehi | thank you Ihavelund | 18:20 |
| yeehi | ah yes - I should have 2GB swap | 18:21 |
| lhavelund | yeehi: I haven't personally installed the last couple of releases, so I'm not sure how system disk space usage is right now, but in earlier releases, I remember being told ~7--8 / would be plenty. | 18:21 |

| lhavelund | daxxone1: They seem pretty outdated... I wonder if they're compatible with current kernels. | 18:24 |
| lhavelund | daxxone1: Just checking the archives they provide. | 18:24 |
| ThinkT510 | daxxone1: most likely the drivers are already in the kernel, try ubuntu and see what you need | 18:24 |
| lhavelund | I think what ThinkT510 proposes is very likely, too. | 18:25 |
| daxxone1 | I tried the ati gpu hardware add on, it shows me having a different gpu than win7 did. | 18:26 |

| ikonia | honvai: you have to mount it | 19:09 |
| gsant | it does boot, but now my network is fucked. :/ | 19:09 |

| gsant | ikonia: srry | 19:09 |
| ikonia | honvai: you treat it like a hard disk | 19:09 |

| farid__ | ikonia:you mean apt-get upgrade kernel | 19:12 |
| ikonia | farid__: if that's the package name (it's not) | 19:12 |
| twirm | farid__, it's probably something closer to linux-kernel-3.x.x.x | 19:12 |
| twirm | farid__, try tab completion after typing linux into that command | 19:12 |

| ikonia | gsant: no | 19:14 |

| ikonia | honvai: ok - I'm going to stop talking to you now, bye | 19:15 |
| twirm | Guest6188, try 'apt-get install -f' | 19:15 |

| twirm | Guest61 | 19:16 |

| csilk | Hi, Unity is really slow on my low powered netbook. Is there something I can do to make it quicker? I know there used to be a 2D mode but that seems to have been removed in 12.10? | 19:17 |
| Guest6188 | I have done that -f thing, the result is at the bottom of the pastebin I sent | 19:17 |
| gsant | but the problem is that if I add noapic option it does boot but my network stops working .. | 19:18 |
| DJones | csilk: You could try a different desktop environment, lxde or xfce might be quicker on a low spec machine | 19:18 |
| twirm | Guest6188, try 'apt-get purge libreoffice' | 19:18 |
| Guest6188 | trying that now. | 19:18 |
| jwrigley | Guest6188: try creating the directories it is claiming are missing | 19:18 |
| twirm | Guest6188, it looks like you had it installed previously | 19:18 |
| twirm | jwrigley, they aren't missing, it's failing to overwrite them | 19:19 |
| gsant | The weirdest is that i have backtrack installed ..but it doesnt boot anymore! :( | 19:19 |
| csilk | DJones, I wanted to continue running out of the box defaults if at all possible? | 19:19 |
| gsant | without noapic option. | 19:19 |
| ThinkT510 | gsant: backtrack isn't supported here | 19:19 |

| gsant | yeah I know it is not. I just mentioned. | 19:20 |
| jwrigley | Guest6188: *oops, wrong guest, ^ ^ | 19:20 |
| gsant | cause i cant boot any Linux without the noapic option. | 19:21 |

| ikonia | set noapic and move on | 19:21 |
| Guest6188 | twirm: update: just realized I removed it earlier because it wasn't working. let me re-install. | 19:21 |

| csilk | twirm, this netbook will be used by several people whom don't have time to learn yet another UI. Unity is set up in such a way it meets their needs | 19:32 |

| csilk | bekks, pastebin.com/TPkds2Ry | 19:38 |
| bekks | mau22: I strongly doubt that you actually have 135GB RAM in your box. /proc is a virtual filesystem and /proc/kcore provides access to the entire RAM you have installed. | 19:38 |
| csilk | bekks, http://pastebin.com/TPkds2Ry | 19:38 |
| jwrigley | Guest6188: that's the exact same error... | 19:39 |

| === Adeel is now known as Guest69843 | ||
| csilk | bekks, ok, is there something I can use that would give me usable performance? | 19:40 |
| twirm | csilk, but it still runs Unity 2D, you can't ask a 3D desktop to run really well on underpowered hardware | 19:41 |
| Guest6188 | twirm: well libreoffice is still not working, so no. | 19:41 |
| bekks | csilk: You could use another desktop environment, like xfce or lxde | 19:41 |
| fishcooker1 | never mind ThinkT510.. it's ok | 19:41 |
| twirm | Guest6188, what happened after you apt-get install -f'd | 19:41 |
| csilk | bekks, I would prefer to stick with Unity. I don't mind all the 3D stuff being disabled though | 19:41 |
| fishcooker1 | btw how to kill X-server permanetntly | 19:41 |

| SpecialEd | click? | 19:42 |
| Daxter | fishcooker1: what are you trying to do? killing X will kill all running GUIs | 19:42 |
| csilk | twirm, I don't get why the 3D desktop is the default install option then. It hardly seems like a sound decision | 19:42 |
| bekks | csilk: Which isnt implemented the way you want it, since Unity relies on 3D pretty much. | 19:42 |
| csilk | bekks, so it's not possible to run default out of the box Ubuntu in a usable fashion on a fairly standard netbook anymore? | 19:43 |
| Guest6188 | twirm: nothing, when i click libreoffice writer (which has no icon either) it just doesn't start. | 19:43 |
| mau22 | bekks: I know /proc is running process image... since I only have 4Gb, how can that file be so large? | 19:43 |
| Slart | /j #opengl | 19:43 |
| Slart | bah.. sorry | 19:43 |
| twirm | csilk, thus the advantage of Linux, you have a world of options! try setting up XFCE with Docky or something | 19:43 |
| fishcooker1 | Daxter: actually i want to get command line only on Lucid desktop? | 19:43 |
| fishcooker1 | is there any clue on grub{maybe} | 19:43 |
| csilk | twirm, it's not great for a beginner to have to modify things like that | 19:43 |
| twirm | Guest6188, try launching it from the terminal | 19:43 |
| csilk | it would be nice if things just worked out of the box | 19:43 |
| bekks | mau22: As I said, it is a virtual filesystem. Try accessing it from a live cd, e.g. and you will notice that (when not being used), it only has a few kB. | 19:43 |
| csilk | rather than requiring the effort | 19:43 |
| twirm | csilk, I assume you are the admin on the box, why don't you set it up for them? | 19:44 |
| Daxter | fishcooker1: Ctrl+Alt+F1 will switch you over to commandline | 19:44 |
| bekks | mau22: So omit /proc /dev /sys | 19:44 |
| Daxter | it wotn shut X off | 19:44 |
| csilk | twirm, yes I am, I think you're missing the point though | 19:44 |
| Guest6188 | twirm: yeah I just did to investigate, it says the program is missing. | 19:44 |
| bekks | csilk: Well, I have the same underpowered hardware like you, but I am no sticking with Unity. | 19:44 |
| twirm | Guest6188, Can you reboot real fast and then we can move from there? | 19:44 |
| csilk | twirm, not only do I now need to invest time into changing the desktop, I also have to invest time training the users or writing docs | 19:44 |
| Guest6188 | yeah I can do that. brb then. thanks for your patience btw lol, this is taking ages. | 19:45 |

| fishcooker1 | Daxter: how to enable it from the first time.. i want to make my Lucid desktop act being server | 19:45 |
| fishcooker1 | command line only .. how to? | 19:45 |
| bekks | csilk: All you have to to is to just install xubuntu-desktop and relogin. Not that much time wasted. | 19:45 |
| twirm | csilk, just see it as a lesson to look for the lowest common denominator in hardware and how you're decisions effect it. | 19:46 |
| csilk | bekks, when our admin staff cost £500 per day to hire and we have a LOT of default settings applied to Unity that our staff use. That becomes expensive | 19:46 |
| bekks | csilk: I believe you are able to run a single command on your own, as well as relogin. | 19:46 |
| csilk | twirm, your attitude is not aligned with that of people with real work to do. As a hobbyist, I have no issues doing this. From a business stand point, I do | 19:46 |
| twirm | csilk, it seems like you got dogged by your IT guys, check your direct messages | 19:47 |
| bekks | csilk: And all those Unity settings are irrelevant on non-Unity. | 19:47 |
| matt__ | twrim: it's guest6188. i'm back. | 19:48 |

| csilk | jpds, thanks for the complete misunderstanding | 19:55 |
| Ansikt | Or a python/perl library? | 19:55 |
| csilk | if Ubuntu support could fix our issues we would have thrown money at it already | 19:55 |
| jpds | Ansikt: Oh, you can create PDFs just fine, editing them directly --- different question. | 19:55 |

| Ansikt | jrib: I tried pdftk, didn't see the option. | 19:56 |
| csilk | jpds, because unity doesn't run on this hardware anymore | 19:56 |
| csilk | not very well anyway | 19:56 |

| Ansikt | Arash: Backup everything you have saved to your computer, then go to the terminal and at the prompt type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 19:58 |
| csilk | jpds, in stead we got the newer gnome, which actually works on this hardware | 19:58 |

| Jacruth | Is there any way to downgrade from 12.10 to 12.04? xDDDDD | 20:06 |

| HondUSA | ey everybody - I need some help with Plex Media Server and external harddrives - I can't get plex to recognize folders on the external drive - when I check the drive's properties I can't change any permissions - ANY IDEAS? | 20:30 |
| twirm | shallowcuts, try posting this to AskUbuntu. it may be a bug | 20:30 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: is the drive NTFS ? | 20:30 |
| ikonia | or FAT ? | 20:30 |
| shallowcuts | will do...thx | 20:30 |
| HondUSA | NTFS | 20:30 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: there you go then | 20:30 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: that's why you can't change the properties | 20:30 |
| HondUSA | right - NTFS - can I change them BEFORE i mount/format? | 20:31 |
| xxiao | ubuntu 12.04 php does not have sqlite3-pdo compiled in, anyway I can get it other then rebuilding php from source? | 20:31 |
| xxiao | other than | 20:31 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: you can't change ntfs - at all | 20:31 |
| HondUSA | But i CAN change fat32? | 20:31 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| ikonia | HondUSA: no, not really | 20:32 |
| HondUSA | i want to use this drive to store/backup media and stream it using PLEX | 20:32 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: it doesn't support things like permissions | 20:32 |
| HondUSA | ok - the plex media server can stream files on my home folder - how can i do this with an external HD? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | use ext4 file system | 20:33 |
| ikonia | or any linux supported file system | 20:33 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: you would have to mount the external filesystem to a location in your home folder, then you have to set permissions recursively on your home folder so plex can use it and search sub-folders | 20:34 |
| honvai | command lsdev does not report ohci_hcd:usb1 port | 20:34 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - im a bit new - how would i mount an external drive to my home folder? | 20:35 |
| Karlo_ | Is it possible to export a Linux directory so that it can be mounted by another system on the same LAN? Currently the LAN includes a Windows system which is exporting a directory that both Linux systems mount (SMB), but that doesn't seem like the best way to do things. | 20:35 |
| ikonia | HondUSA: why do you want to use your home folder | 20:35 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: when you mount a drive manually, you specify where you want it mounted. | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | HondUSA, the plex forum says, do not mount ntfs in your homefolder, but to /media/ > http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/50286-ubuntu-ntfs-formatted-hdd-mounting-permissions/ | 20:36 |
| crimsonmane | ikonia: because then it flows as plex scans his home folder | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | crimsonmane +1 | 20:36 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: yeah it can't be ntfs | 20:36 |
| ikonia | crimsonmane: so simpley for a recursive search, that' it | 20:36 |
| crimsonmane | yup | 20:36 |
| crimsonmane | now there's another way, which is mount it where ever... and just add that to your library in plex | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Karlo_: why does that seem a bad way | 20:37 |
| HondUSA | i guess i dont care how its done - im just trying to find the best way to do it | 20:37 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - so ext4 or fat32 is my best choice when i format? | 20:37 |
| crimsonmane | there's no best way. just what way you select. | 20:38 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: ext3 or ext4 | 20:38 |
| lauratika | for a very strange reason ubuntu sound setting volume slide show more then 100 % some knows why is this... | 20:38 |
| Karlo_ | ikonia: The Windows system is old and of questionable stability -- using it as the shared directory server is almost all that I use it for. And it doesn't have as much space as I'd like; that system's disk is rather full. | 20:38 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - ok - so ill format to ext3 or ext4, then set the permissions? | 20:38 |
| ania_ | ext4 | 20:39 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: you might get lucky, as i did, and plex didn't need any additional permission setting performed | 20:39 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - hows that? | 20:39 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: now, you have to put this drive into your fstab too if you want it mounted automagically | 20:39 |
| crimsonmane | and to the same spot. otherwise you could end up with having to reset permissions on it every boot | 20:39 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - ok, but first id format to ext4? | 20:40 |
| crimsonmane | mhmm | 20:40 |
| crimsonmane | you will lose all data on the disk | 20:40 |
| crimsonmane | fyi | 20:40 |

| HondUSA | crimsonmane - ok - but i cant even create a folder on the thumb drive now - the owner is ROOT | 20:47 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: yup then you need to chmod it | 20:47 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - thats where im a noob | 20:48 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - im guessing a terminal command... | 20:48 |
| crimsonmane | "man chmod" in a terminal | 20:48 |
| crimsonmane | see i dont do much chmod or anything much ... | 20:48 |
| Karlo_ | HondUSA, chmod MODE FILE(s), where MODE can be either numeric like 644 or symbolic like +r. | 20:49 |
| HondUSA | karlo - im sorry can you rephrase that for an ubuntu baby? | 20:50 |
| crimsonmane | use 777 for that flash drive | 20:50 |
| funkt | hi there do you know if there is anyway I can see a memory usage graph like on the old ubuntu versions? | 20:50 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - ok so "man chmod 777" | 20:51 |
| Karlo_ | No, don't use "man" and "777" together. | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: man is a manual command that teaches you chmo | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | d | 20:51 |
| HondUSA | right | 20:51 |
| Karlo_ | "man chmod" will how you the manual, which tells you how to use it. | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | we need to see where your flash drive is | 20:51 |
| Karlo_ | "chmod 777 DIRECTORYNAME" will make the directory read-write-search'able to everybody. | 20:51 |
| HondUSA | right so - sudo df? | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | sudo fdisk -l | 20:51 |
| crimsonmane | or that | 20:51 |
| Karlo_ | The 777 is in octal, btw; all nine bits are set. "chmod a+rwx DIRECTORYNAME" is the symbolic equivalent. | 20:52 |
| crimsonmane | Karlo_: for a flash drive do you agree that it's ok to set it 777? | 20:53 |
| Karlo_ | crimsonmane: Yes, that should be fine. | 20:53 |
| HondUSA | flash drive or usb external drive? | 20:53 |
| HondUSA | 250gb gdrive? | 20:53 |
| crimsonmane | doesn't matter really. | 20:53 |
| HondUSA | ok | 20:54 |
| crimsonmane | you're gonna put it on your mac to download those files | 20:54 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - no i have files on the ubuntu book (movies) and home vids on the macbook - all need to be backed up on the external drive and streamed through plex | 20:55 |
| crimsonmane | that's what i meant - you're gonna put the usb drive on the mac to get those files | 20:55 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - maybe i misunderstood you... | 20:55 |
| HondUSA | correct | 20:55 |
| * crimsonmane doesn't always phrase things the best | 20:55 | |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - i appreciate the help - so now i have my thumb drive (the test) formatted to ext4... | 20:56 |
| HondUSA | and in terminal i see where its mounted | 20:57 |
| jwrigley | twirm, turned out matt__ had a conflicting package installed, that apt-get somehow didn't know to remove | 20:57 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: you can unmount it (umount is the command) and remount it literally anywhere in the filesystem that you want. | 20:57 |
| aeos | Hi, I made a symbolic link for a file, but when I do ls -l it doesnt show it as a symbolic link. Is there another way to see the symbolic link? | 20:57 |
| jwrigley | twirm, ran dpkg -r openoffice.org-debian-menus, and apt-get install -f completed just fine | 20:57 |
| bekks | aeos: What was the command you issued to create the symlink? | 20:58 |
| crimsonmane | aeos: it shows as a symlink with the letter S in the permissions area... | 20:58 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - karlo - ok, i do that in terminal? | 20:58 |
| crimsonmane | yes. but at this point HondUSA i'm being more vague for two reasons. one is to get you to research the commands which will help you retain them better, and two i don't do clever stuff that we're doing with your system :) | 20:59 |
| === KindOne- is now known as KindOne | ||
| HondUSA | haha - ok i get it | 20:59 |
| aeos | to be perfectly honost I am not sure if I made it a hard link or soft link | 20:59 |
| bekks | aeos: What was the command you issued to create the symlink? | 21:00 |
| HondUSA | ive just been working on this for a while and i dont want to loose another day googling and reading through forums | 21:00 |
| crimsonmane | aeos: a hard link will show with an H or L i think at the front of the permissions list | 21:00 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: ok i understand. | 21:00 |

| === Senix is now known as look | ||
| HondUSA | ha - weird - when try to unmount it said - no file/directory | 21:02 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: "umount /path/to/drive" like /dev/sda or whatever it is | 21:02 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: maybe you never mounted it | 21:02 |
| crimsonmane | you can't format something that is mounted, fyi | 21:02 |
| aeos | there are no characters infront of the files permissions list. its just the usual dash | 21:03 |
| HondUSA | i see its mounted - its got a super long name - f46281cc-eb3e-4f8d-b1bb-8d43e9cb2043 | 21:03 |

| bichonfrise74 | the "gs" package is ghostscript which is available in 10.04 | 21:11 |
| bichonfrise74 | but in 12.04, it was now called ghostscript. | 21:11 |
| bichonfrise74 | how do I tell pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy not to worry about the gs package? | 21:11 |
| crimsonmane | Virunga: you need '{}' not {} | 21:11 |
| Virunga | crimsonmane: the problem persists. | 21:12 |
| Karlo_ | Virunga: What's the failure mode? | 21:12 |
| Virunga | Karlo_: find: missing argument to `-exec' | 21:13 |
| crimsonmane | Virunga: 'win32*' should be win32* | 21:13 |
| HondUSA | crimsonmane - ikonia - oh right, cant add media to ext4 formatted thumb drive- "Permission denied" - i dont have the owner permissions - can i format this in GParted so that im the owner? | 21:13 |
| crimsonmane | because you need that * to expand and it won't under single quotes | 21:13 |
| Karlo_ | Virunga: I'm not familiar with '+' -- older implementations used ';' as the terminator; what does '+' do differently? | 21:13 |
| Virunga | If take off the + all work, but i want to take advantage of that feature. | 21:13 |
| crimsonmane | HondUSA: to be the owner, "sudo chmod 777 /media/whateveritis | 21:14 |

| === Strife is now known as Guest71662 | ||
| ThinkT510 | !java | Pummpy1 | 21:23 |
| ubot93 | Pummpy1: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 21:23 |
| trism | fishcooker: looks fine, how about the output of: sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev; | 21:24 |
| fishcooker | trism: it seems right but .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1395484/ | 21:25 |
| vamp774 | sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk | 21:25 |
| trism | fishcooker: do you have -proposed enabled? | 21:26 |
| Karlo_ | Virunga: Based on an experiment I just did, and comparison with the man page for find, I'd venture to say that -exec COMMAND '{}' + requires the '{}' to be the last argument on the line. Hence, you could invoke it as: find . -name win32\* -prune -o -name \*.h -print -exec cp -t ../headers '{}' + | 21:26 |
| Karlo_ | Virunga: This sort of thing is exactly why I got the -t flag added to GNU cp in the first place. :-) | 21:26 |
| fishcooker | trism: i suppose that my repository is not valid | 21:26 |
| Pummpy1 | Does anyone know how to install java on chrome. It wont work for me | 21:26 |
| fishcooker | should i change/ remove id on *archive.ubuntu.co.id | 21:27 |
| fishcooker | sorry *com | 21:27 |
| bekks | Karlo_: {} is the placefolder for the find results and the position ist pretty irrelevant. | 21:27 |

| ThinkT510 | zoidberg1: why do you want to remove python? | 21:56 |
| zoidberg1 | i`ve got a powerpc ubuntu 10.4 lts and i want to upgrade, buts that not posssible because of broken packages | 21:56 |
| zoidberg1 | ThinkT510: i hate python | 21:56 |
| Karlo_ | Ideally, I'd like to be able to type "anycmd /path/to/remote/file" and have it work transparently. Next best is to have a command that will push and/or pull files. As for why to avoid a file manager, I might want to repeat something 100 times, and it's easier to script a CLI than a GUI. | 21:57 |
| zoidberg1 | ThinkT510: no it has todo something with the broken packages | 21:57 |
| MonkeyDust | zoidberg1 fastest, cleanest and most efficient way is fresh install after backup | 21:57 |

| === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR | ||
| crimsonmane | Karlo_: you can, in terminal, "scp filename username@hostname:/path/to/destinatin" | 21:58 |
| crimsonmane | Karlo_: or you can "ssh username@computername" and be logged into that computer in terminal | 21:58 |
| zoidberg1 | MonkeyDust: no i don`t want to reinstall because of problems with my disk drive and no ability to boot from usb | 21:58 |
| zoidberg1 | MonkeyDust: its powerpc and openboot its not easy to boot from usb | 21:59 |
| rudivs | zoidberg1, I've recently done it both ways, and can totally recommend the clean install approach. settings and prefs are still maintained. | 21:59 |
| crimsonmane | Karlo_: you might have to enable port forwarding of port 22 in the router, or enable automatic port forwarding. | 21:59 |
| Karlo_ | rudivs: I sometimes write the script so that it will clean up and exit if a certain file appears in the system; then cron (or anyone else) can just create that file. | 21:59 |
| zoidberg1 | rudivs: you read my problem... | 22:01 |
| rudivs | Karlo_, that could work, but since my script is just a bunch of wget commands, would killall wget work? or would it just go on to the next command? | 22:01 |
| MonkeyDust | zoidberg1 in the future, best make a separate /home partition, i guess you're skilled enough to know how to do that | 22:01 |
| zoidberg1 | openboot is a bit strange | 22:01 |
| zoidberg1 | yes | 22:01 |
| Karlo_ | I'd be hesitant about "killall wget", since it might get some false positives not related to the script in question. | 22:01 |
| rudivs | zoidberg1, I hear you. I'm just giving my opinion after much frustration trying to recover a failed upgrade. | 22:02 |
| Karlo_ | And in any case, you'd want to kill the script itself in addition to what it's running. | 22:02 |
| VorT3x | Hi everyone | 22:02 |
| zoidberg1 | MonkeyDust: the problem is that i cant boot from as much as anything but my harddisk | 22:03 |

| ThinkT510 | !ppc | zoidberg1 | 22:06 |
| ubot93 | zoidberg1: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 22:06 |

| willis1 | ask it and see Calif | 22:17 |
| Karlo_ | Sure. One nat = 2.7 bits. Next? | 22:17 |
| Calif | what happens for a website that is servicing Nat'd clients, and it has say more than 65535 clients connecting, like say 100,000 end users connecting or 1,000,000 even at the same time... - How can it translate the ports correctly? | 22:17 |
| === willis1 is now known as Dr_Willis_ | ||
| Karlo_ | Or is it 0.37 bits? Ah, never mind, dumb joke anyway. | 22:17 |
| crimsonmane | lol | 22:17 |
| danilo_ | hey people | 22:18 |
| tsimpson_ | Calif: the web server has no clue if the client is behind NAT or not, and it doesn't care. it's the job of the router to make sure the packets get back to the right host | 22:18 |

| zoidberg1 | rex: i gave it a try but it doesnt do anything | 22:18 |
| gilgulis | tsimpson_: thank you | 22:18 |
| funkt | anyone have any ideas? | 22:18 |
| danilo_ | I am not sure if you guys have faced this problem in ubuntu running in a inspiron laptop | 22:19 |
| crimsonmane | funkt: how did you remove it? | 22:19 |
| danilo_ | sometimes the xserver fails | 22:19 |
| jrib | funkt: pastebin what errors you are getting, what exactly you did, and what exactly you are doing now. | 22:19 |
| Sky_ | hello | 22:19 |
| Calif | Right, but the webserver or whatnot has to send it's traffic out a given port, so how does it handle literally millions of requests per second, and still keep up if all the ports it's going to use (65k) are in use | 22:20 |
| danilo_ | and during the startup it is offered other option to try to detect the video card.... | 22:20 |
| funkt | Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/libraries/select_lang.lib.php on line 112 | 22:20 |
| Sky_ | I need someone to help me with starting my laptop ^_^ | 22:20 |
| funkt | i keep getting that when i go to phpmyadmin/index.php | 22:20 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: the server takes a turn on everyone. if there's that many users concurrently connected, then it works by adding servers (redundancy) | 22:21 |
| funkt | and It is a really raw version of the title no interface | 22:21 |
| rex | zoidberg1: might this help you. http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/11/fix-package-system-broken-error-ubuntu-10-0410-10-maverick-meerkat/ | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | /opt/ ? How did you instsall lampp? | 22:21 |
| danilo_ | i am using ubuntu 12.10 | 22:21 |
| tsimpson_ | Calif: the webs server only needs one port, 80, it sends all its data from there | 22:21 |
| funkt | i removed it by using terminal rm -rf /opt/lampp and by deleting lampp in the opt directory through root | 22:21 |
| funkt | i installed lampp by cd to desktop and untaring it to opt | 22:22 |
| Calif | I thought the destination port the server uses is the source port of the client (chosen by its router) | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | funkt: there any reason you dident use the ones in the package manager? | 22:22 |
| funkt | ohh didnt know there was one in there?? | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !lamp | 22:23 |
| ubot93 | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 22:23 |
| MonkeyDust | funkt consider using !tasksel | 22:23 |
| funkt | I know do you think !tasksel is better? | 22:23 |
| tsimpson_ | Calif: yes, but the destination is an IP address and port number _pair_ | 22:24 |
| zoidberg1 | rex: there is no broken package shown | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ive heard/seen some people mention tasksel being a little weird for them. so pay attention to what its doing | 22:24 |
| Sky_ | anyone available to help? my laptop won't start after i try installing ubuntu 12.10 | 22:24 |
| Calif | Tsimpson, so the only way the limit would be reached in theory is if the requests came from a single public ip | 22:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Sky_ any errors? | 22:24 |
| xilus | hello | 22:25 |
| Sky_ | no errors its just a blank screen | 22:25 |

| Calif | crimsonmane, right, I just figured in the case of someone like google, that there had to be situations where the ports would get used up, but I guess where its not all the same network and there's more than a single server, this would remedy that, as well as simply queueing the people up | 22:35 |

| damo22 | DaemonicApathy: i tried sudo service lightdm start | 22:36 |
| damo22 | DaemonicApathy: i got a blank screen with cursor flashing | 22:37 |

| damo22 | DaemonicApathy: i am running 12.04.1 LTS with latest updates | 22:37 |
| tsimpson_ | Calif: it sends _to_ the port the client used, it still sends _from_ port 80 | 22:38 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: the server has to be configured to use that port in the first place. that's how you prevent attacks. | 22:38 |
| Calif | oh I see what you mean | 22:38 |
| Calif | The server is still sending out from port 80, it's just sending TO the port the client picked | 22:38 |
| damo22 | DaemonicApathy: oh i need to reboot and install a couple more updates | 22:38 |
| damo22 | brb | 22:39 |
| DaemonicApathy | damo22: Please standby for someone more capable. :-) | 22:39 |
| troulouliou_dev | his is there a package to change the gdm "debian" background that appears in the now default gdm theme on 12.10 ? | 22:39 |
| pgib | ok guys... here is an interesting one. When I login with lightdm, I choose English (US) as my language | 22:39 |
| Calif | So in truth, there is no limit how many requests can go out the same port, it's based on the server resources and line speed at how much it can service at once - am I taking away from that right? | 22:39 |
| pgib | crap.. | 22:39 |
| tsimpson_ | Calif: that's right | 22:40 |
| Calif | I got ya | 22:40 |
| RockStarz | Hi | 22:40 |
| Calif | I thought ports were a 1-1 ratio for some reason, that makes more sense | 22:40 |
| guggero | Hi there. I have a hardware question concerning HDD reliability and smartctl messages. What IRC channel would you recommend me to ask such a question? | 22:40 |
| guggero | Or is someone here willing to answer something like this? | 22:41 |
| crimsonmane | port 80 is internet traffic, port 22 is ssh traffic, port 1337 is a common attack point, so it's always off... stuff like that. | 22:41 |
| pgib | ok guys... here is an interesting one. When I login with lightdm, I choose English (US) as my language. I look at my LANG envvar, it is: "en_US.UTF-8". In firefox, the language is set to English/United-States. Yet.. firefox and other apps insist that "Color" is not a word, and it recommends "Colour" what the heck? any ideas? | 22:41 |
| Calif | ok | 22:41 |
| crimsonmane | pgib: it's not a proper dictionary, sadly. it goes off ye olde tranditional spelling or something | 22:41 |
| RockStarz | Just type colour | 22:42 |
| Calif | What if the webserver closes it's port 80 to prevent attacks, can a client figure out to use another port or does web simply not work? | 22:42 |
| zoidberg1 | pgib: i like the colour | 22:42 |
| DaemonicApathy | pgib, I'd recommend using the 'add to dictionary' option that most spell correction apps have. | 22:42 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: the server has to be told to use the other port by the system administrator | 22:42 |
| ikonia | Calif: it will not work | 22:42 |
| Calif | ok | 22:42 |
| ikonia | Calif: do you have an actual question ? | 22:42 |
| RockStarz | You can port forward | 22:42 |
| ikonia | RockStarz: then the port wouldn't be "closed" | 22:42 |
| === Guest53782 is now known as Adeel | ||
| Calif | ikonia, I've asked a few :P | 22:43 |
| Calif | ikonia, I have one more though at least, which might turn into more lol | 22:43 |
| Tex_Nick | guggero : have you tried ##hardware | 22:43 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest36397 | ||
| pgib | DaemonicApathy, zoidberg1, crimsonmane, but shouldn't aspell at least behave properly? It used to... until a few months ago. Now it insists that all my Z's become S's and that I speak in Queen's English. This is utter rubbish! (Indeed) | 22:43 |
| guggero | not yet but I definitely will, thanks | 22:43 |
| Calif | am I correct in understanding that from an Internal Private network... where Two hosts inside pick the Same port source port... The router doesn't force it to use a different port, it will let the two clients use the same port and then the router itself keeps track of who had which request using the same port? | 22:43 |
| pgib | maybe I need to go back to C locale | 22:43 |
| ikonia | Calif: that's not really an ubuntu issue, that depends on the router | 22:44 |
| === txdv_ is now known as txdv | ||
| Calif | Sorry, I tried asking in the relevant channels, but I just get ignored | 22:44 |
| ikonia | that doesn't mean here is a free for all | 22:44 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: yes you have that part right | 22:45 |
| Calif | thank you crimsonmane | 22:46 |
| RockStarz | Calif you are correct | 22:46 |
| ner0x | Would it be alright to chown everything in /usr/local if there isn't anything in there to begin with? | 22:46 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: in a local network you tell both machines what port to use. sorry had to tend to my daughter or would have answered sooner. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | ner0x: why would you do that if there is nothing there ? | 22:46 |
| Calif | crimsonmane, thats totally ok, i really appreciate your help | 22:46 |
| ner0x | ikonia: I mean, chown /usr/local so I can make install from a user. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | ner0x: why would it be a problem ? | 22:47 |
| ner0x | ikonia: Just making sure I'm not doing anything that ubuntu/linux would dislike. | 22:47 |
| RockStarz | Some oddball questions | 22:48 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: one example is when i run a Ventrilo server. First i decide what port it's going to use and i set that within the program. Then i set the router to forward that same port to the computer that is hosting Ventrilo. Then i tell people my IP address and which port to connect to. They connect and the router knows which computer to send the traffic to. That computer knows which program to send the traffic to. | 22:48 |
| Calif | ok | 22:49 |
| Calif | Would there be any chance of that computer using the same port by happenstance for another program? | 22:50 |
| lachie | Can anyone help get wireless working ? | 22:50 |
| Calif | lachie, whats the trouble? | 22:51 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: not likely. different programs use different default ports, and there's SO MANY to pick from. | 22:51 |
| lachie | Calif, It doesnt show any wireless networks | 22:51 |
| Calif | lachie: is this a laptop or a desktop | 22:52 |
| Calif | crimsonmane, what if Firefox randomly choose your source port, and it happened to be the same? | 22:52 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: firefox is using port 80. it doesn't pick them at random | 22:52 |
| Calif | as a source? | 22:52 |
| damo22 | is there a channel for specific support on nvidia cards under ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: there's no difference. port 80 is incoming and outgoing internet | 22:52 |
| llutz | crimsonmane: you want to read about that again | 22:53 |
| crimsonmane | llutz: not really :) | 22:53 |
| lachie | Calif, laptop, however Im running backtrack, I tried joining #backtrack-linux but It said I was banned and I havent ever been there before | 22:53 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: you'd have to manually tell a program to use a port other than its default. there's no accidents in that respect. | 22:53 |
| damo22 | i need to know how to enable nvidia- modules from the command line | 22:53 |
| damo22 | as i dont have access to X | 22:53 |
| guggero | Ok, guys, though question here: I have a dedicated server with RAID 1. But one of the disks seems to act up. When I run "smartctl -a /dev/sda" it tells me that there were 30 read errors. But a "smartctl -H /dev/sda" tells me, the overall disk health is fine (PASSED). Do I need to be concerned about this? | 22:54 |
| Calif | crimsonmane, I thought that the common ports are only used as destination ports, and that for the source behind a router it will use a port above 1024? | 22:54 |
| ner0x | What can I use to build .deb files? | 22:54 |
| llutz | Calif right | 22:55 |
| compdoc | guggero, ATA error count? any reallocated sectors? | 22:55 |
| OerHeks | ner0x, install build-essentials | 22:55 |
| Calif | lachie: I've never used backtrack, I'd check for the simple things though as I assume your version still supports wireless | 22:56 |
| crimsonmane | Calif: i dont know how much experience you or llutz has with networking, but if you want to let someone in from the outside, you specify the port and in the router configure the destination of said port. and it doesn't matter the port number as long as it's "within range" | 22:56 |
| Calif | check for drivers, and simple stuff like the hotbutton | 22:56 |
| guggero | dmesg reported some ATA read errors. but that was a one time thing, almost a month ago. What I'm not sure about now is, should I replace the disk (which will cost me a lot since it's a dedicated server hosted by a company) or are the errors kind of fixed??!?? | 22:56 |
| llutz | crimsonmane: question was what port firefox uses to establish a http-connect. and that is a port >1024 to destination:80 period | 22:57 |
| ner0x | OerHeks: I mean, what app would I use to create the deb from the src files? | 22:57 |
| lachie | Calif, Ive tried a few things but not wuch luck | 22:57 |
| OerHeks | lachie, because you are root, they ban you | 22:57 |
| lachie | Derpian, oh' cheers haha | 22:57 |
| Calif | OerHeks, how can they tell that? | 22:57 |
| guggero | compdoc: the RAID has done a complete rebuild since the read errors. does that mean I'm out of danger or am I just prolonging the inevitable? | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | !build | ner0x | 22:59 |

| crimsonmane | guggero: i think the system performed its function and you're solid. | 23:01 |

| k1l | i dont know if its temporary offline or not managed anymore. you added that better have a look at | 23:05 |
| llutz | crimsonmane: and btw, you are talking about port-forwarding, which is a different thing as general tcp connection-establishment | 23:06 |
| Calif | So assuming lluntz is correct, in so much as that's how I've been taught where a random port above 1024 is used in a PAT situation - If there was two programs on the same source computer that used the same source port above 1024, is there any method for the program or PC to know that it is meant for one program over the other? | 23:06 |
| Calif | -n sorry, tab is my friend lmao | 23:07 |
| llutz | Calif: the kernel won't allow two processes to bind to one prot | 23:07 |

| genii-around | invisibleheero: The issue is that the PPA exists, but there are no packages for Quantal in it yet | 23:08 |

| invisibleheero | genii-around, so I should just remove it | 23:08 |
| genii-around | invisibleheero: Yes. | 23:08 |

| invisibleheero | do I just remove the .lst in /etc/apt or is there a "special" method | 23:09 |

| seednode | tripppy: Imo, using a minimal install and adding the programs you need. | 23:11 |
| tripppy | ok thanz | 23:11 |
| genii-around | invisibleheero: If you manually added it to sources.list then remove it that way. If you added it by doing add-apt-repository then remove it's entry from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory | 23:12 |
| tripppy | invisibleheero: kxstudio uses unity? | 23:13 |

| jrib | dsa: no | 23:31 |
| jrib | !iptables | dsa | 23:31 |
| ubot93 | dsa: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 23:31 |
| dsa | i ask this so i can backup before messing anything | 23:32 |
| jrib | dsa: iptables rules won't get saved anywhere unless you save them | 23:32 |
| llutz | dsa: sudo iptables-save >~/myrules.dat to backup your rules | 23:32 |
| jrib | TeraQuibbler: try them all. Though I'd strongly recommend keeping xmonad in there. And I hear good things about awesome too | 23:32 |
| llutz | dsa: restore with sudo iptables-restore < myrules.dat | 23:33 |

| tophyr | hello kids. i've got a fresh 10.04 install in a VM that i'd like to run as headless as possible. however, i used the desktop iso in order to be able to use the GUI if i want to | 23:38 |
| llutz | dsa: just a hint: when fiddling with iptables-rules on a remote box, make sure to run a cron-job which resets the rules every 15 minute or such. might rescue you if you lock yourself out | 23:38 |
| tophyr | googling i find some grub options to make it boot to console by default. is that really the best way? seems like there should be a runlevel i can set as the default that just doesn't start up X. | 23:38 |
| heoyea | tophyr: uninstall the desktop then | 23:40 |
| tophyr | i want to keep the desktop around in case i need it for some reason. i just don't want it running by default | 23:40 |

| ubot93 | tophyr: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.
