[00:00] oh well thanks for the help [00:00] OpenSorce: For steam on Ubuntu, #ubuntu-steam. [00:00] Data lost during an automated backup I had setup; files were all in the default user directory and sub-directories. [00:00] OpenSorce: #ubuntu-steam ... if you're one of the people previewing it [00:00] Jordan_U, genii-around thanks :-) [00:00] no other fix for black screen with only mouse pointer? [00:01] recover_ext4: Lost how though? Were they accidentily overwritten? Was the filesystem corrupted? Was the partition table corrupted? === jimerickson is now known as Guest43836 [00:01] or go down to 12.04? [00:01] OpenSorce: You're welcome. [00:02] Just installed 12.10 and trying to find the best driver for my ati 7850, any help more than welcome [00:02] BlackScreen: It's probably easier to just select the correct drive manually from your firmware menus once, then once Ubuntu is booted run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to install grub's boot sector to both drives (and configure the grub-pc package to do so whenever grub is upgraded). [00:03] Jordan_U: firmware menus meaning? sorry, not very used to this [00:03] Automated backup was running, then there was the auto update which started. After backup was complete, I let the auto update do the partial upgrade which it prompted for. Then I restarted the computer, safely removed the extra hdd, and continued the partial upgrade. [00:04] The partial upgrade messed up the operating system, and I had to reinstall it. What I realised later was the backup files were also corrupt. === mquin_ is now known as mquin === Guest43836 is now known as jimerickson [00:05] Therefore, I need to find a way to get my files back. [00:05] I've tried photorec, and many other tools. === jimerickson is now known as Guest86689 === Testi is now known as UnnamedUser9961 [00:05] Need help installing the best ATI drivers on ubuntu when using a 7850 card? So far no success [00:06] I have no idea how all that story is of any use, but thats how the data was lost. === Guest86689 is now known as jimerickson [00:07] recover_ext4: Then it sounds like the files were overwritten, which means that http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel might help, though I don't know to what extent it supports ext4. [00:07] It didn't work for ext4, already tried it. === default is now known as Guest20110 [00:09] Trying to edit the grub2 configuration to boot to win xp by default but when I run gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst it shows up blank. Ideas? [00:09] Photorec is the only tool I tried, which actually recovered anything, but files it recovered were from many formats ago. They were all from ext3, FAT32 and NTFS. [00:10] !grub2 | darkhalo117 [00:10] darkhalo117: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:10] there's no menu.lst in grub2 darkhalo117 , check the wiki above [00:11] Anybody use a Sansa Fuze MP3 player? Need help with managing music. Specifically with playlists [00:11] JuJuBee, with which software player [00:12] Ok I'll read through this wiki but it looks to be the same info I've been getting through google. If I have further issues I'll be back. Thank you. [00:12] bazhang: using rhythmbox currently, but will switch if I find one that works better with device [00:13] JuJuBee, how many songs/albums are we talking about; roughly [00:13] I have over 50G or music, but the device is only 16G === cndiv_ is now known as cndiv [00:14] JuJuBee, I've always had great success with Banshee and playlists , the Sansa should be well supported in that respect [00:14] bazhang: want to transfer certain playlists to the device and maybe some other artists [00:14] I never used banshee [00:14] JuJuBee, although this was with iPods of various generations, not Sansa [00:15] A friend tried banshee with his 80G classic iPod and it didn't seem to work. [00:15] I use RB for my iPod === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:23] keya [00:26] Hi, having problems, my keyboard settings is set to Norwegian as far as I can see, however it's really still english.. [00:26] fresh install, /etc/default/keyboard XKBLAYOUT os set tp [00:27] set to 'no' [00:27] for norwegian.. [00:28] also the ubuntu gui keyboard program shows Norwegian.. [00:32] ce qualche italiano [00:32] xpogz: are you wanting to keep english or what ??? [00:32] haha [00:32] bug-traq, I do not want to keep english keyboard layout, I want Norwegian [00:33] and it is set to Norwegian but it's still not really the Norwegian layout.. [00:33] xpoqs: ok [00:33] how do I start gnome from the console? [00:34] what is the best program to access/retrieeve files on a linux parition on windows? [00:34] startx just gives me a background screen and a cursor [00:35] xpoqz: try this script in terminal ---> sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle no,ru [00:36] bug-traq, that gives me the Norwegian layout indeed, however it doesn't quite make sense to me that one [00:37] thanks though :) [00:37] xpoqz: anytime , it may be a bug ??? [00:37] hmm, perhaps [00:37] ?? [00:38] xpoqz: there always has to be a ginea pig for any bugs , you may be the 1 for that bug lol [00:38] heh [00:40] m [00:41] Can anyone give me some ideas on how to convert an file in xml [00:41] to sql that is? [00:41] Any software? I am not a programmer but am not afraid to learn to. Any pointers? [00:41] DrManhattan, type this in terminal for gnome [00:41] gdm [00:42] wiw [00:43] noneya, from xml to sql ??? [00:43] noneya, do you want learn programming ? [00:43] noneya: You have to create a xslt as well, to tell "xml" about what to do with which content. [00:43] bug-traq, im on 12.04 - its lightdm but thank you nonetheless :) [00:43] bug-traq: Yes from xml to sql. [00:44] blackshirt: If that is what it takes I will learn to program. [00:44] noneya: Thats nothing about programming. [00:44] hi [00:44] can somebody point me to an IRC channel where I can find some devs? [00:44] noneya: Thats just something about knowing on which content you have and what you want to do with it exactly, in SQL. [00:45] noneya: Most likely, you just want some sophisticated sed/awk approach. [00:45] I want to convert this to XML http://sspc-website.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/include/bibles/kjv.xml [00:45] Or to SQL I mean. [00:46] noneya: ...into what? Do you have a database scheme, and a table layout already? [00:46] bekks: Yes, I am learning SQL at the moment (HSQL). [00:46] noneya: HSQL is a plague. [00:46] bekks: Why? [00:46] noneya: are you running windows or linux ??? [00:47] bug-traq: Linux [00:47] noneya: Because it is a stripped-off, changed randomly, approach of the SQL standard. [00:47] bekks: Any better ideas? [00:47] When is rc.local run during the boot process? Should networking and filesystems all be online at that point? [00:47] noneya: Not without knowing what your goal is, actually. [00:48] can someone help with xming -> xdm? [00:48] So what is this XSLT going to do for me? [00:48] xevwork: rc.local is run as the last script when booting, and the first one when shutting your box off. [00:48] noneya : is it for a server ??? [00:48] bug-traq: Negative. [00:48] noneya: XSLT will tell your XML whats the meaning of your XML content, how it is going to be translated into SQL element content, etc. [00:49] its ran on shutdown? never notced that. [00:49] everything is steup but wireshark shows xdm from server is sending magic-cookie- [00:49] bekks: Do you have any good lins for an intro for me? [00:49] dr_willis: Actually it is, most likely no one knows :D [00:49] I thought magic-cooke isn't sent with xdm [00:49] bekks: I meant "links" [00:50] noneya: i did find a wiki about it here is the link instead of trying to type it or copy and paste it to you ----> http://www.ehow.com/how_7573270_convert-xml-sql-database-ubuntu.html [00:50] noneya: Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Transformation [00:51] bug-traq bekks I will give them a look. Thanks. [00:52] any suggestion on xming/xdm? [00:53] noneya: ok it explains everything [00:53] bug-traq: Alright, thanks. [00:57] rosevp: Whats wrong with that? [00:58] hi all - any way of controlling which serial port a usb-serial adapter gets? I have an ftdi adapter for solar monitoring, and a pl2303 for household energy consumption monitoring - they do not consistently get allocated ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 - it seems somewhat random [00:59] so then the monitoring apps don't start correctly. only an issue on a reboot, which is rare, but still a pita [00:59] Smedles: You could create a udev rule for those devices. [00:59] Smedles: custom udev rules [00:59] any docs on that? [00:59] !udev [00:59] sounds like just what I need :) [01:00] one of those areas ive never mssed with.. [01:00] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7986034/linux-how-to-force-a-usb-device-to-use-the-same-ttyusb-number [01:01] knew there had to be a way :) [01:03] sounds like I can create /dev/ttyusbsolar and /dev/ttyusbcurrentcost :)\ [01:04] Hey. How can I ensure that proprietary graphics drivers are installed on my fresh install of 12.10? [01:06] Does anyone know how I can ensure that proprietary graphics card drivers are installed on my new 12.10 installation? [01:07] Hey! I try to cp a folder to a mounted external hd, but after a minute the hd gets unmounted and i get 'Input/output error'. Someone knows how this comes? Is this a bad HD? [01:09] hi bekks - been having troulbe with connecting to win 7 (Xming) to xdm (ubuntu) [01:09] skutr34: what kind of graphics you using ati or nvidia [01:12] This may sound like a strange question, but what command can I use to open the Ubuntu Network Manager? [01:12] I'm now finding one part of the window x system extremely slow after fresh install - seems like it has problems when dragging windows around [01:12] when I launch Banshee, it immediately closes itself unless I launch it with sudo in the terminal [01:13] in the terminal, if I don't use "sudo" it says "[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: GLib.GException: Can't recursively copy directory [01:13] " [01:13] tried to remove vsync from the compiz settings but that didn't help [01:13] xomniverse: well looks like we know why now :) - I launch it with sudo in the terminal [01:14] I'd prefer not to do that consistently; is there a file permission or something I can alter to fix it? [01:15] xomniverse, you need to sudo chown -r user:group the folder with all your music [01:15] can someone assist in xming -> xdm? [01:15] having issues connecting [01:15] escott: it said invalid option r when I did that [01:16] question: does anyone know what putting the directive "start" at the end of a bash command line does? my boss found it in some bash scripts for an automation / testing system we use and we can't figure out what it does [01:16] xomniverse, -R [01:16] does lxde need gvfs to operate correctly? [01:16] mojo1, example? [01:17] how do I know what group I am in? [01:17] xomniverse, id or groups [01:18] mojo1: give an example... [01:18] so this is the string thats being an issue just did: sudo mount /casper/filesystem.squashfs /mnt [01:18] followed by: sudo mkdir /casper/chroot followed by: sudo rsync -ax /mnt/. /casper/chroot/. [01:18] why is xdm sending magic-cookie- [01:18] mojo1: If it's an init script, it just tells the specific system to start. It's some sort of standard argument or something. [01:18] but the last line didnt seem to do what it was supposed to [01:18] I send x -query remote ip and xdm sends back magic-cookie. is this correct? [01:19] ok so I ran the following command [01:19] This may sound like a strange question, but what command can I use to open the Ubuntu Network Manager? [01:19] sudo chown -R xomniverse:xomniverse /home/xomniverse/Music [01:19] i don't think it is an init script. my boss would know that. it is given on the command line that launches the script ... space, "start" at the end... but it does not appear to be an argument as he said he didn't find anywhere in the script that it looked at args. I unfortunately don't have the script to look at. he threw the question out there and said the first one to figure it out gets a mexican coke. (real sugar). ;-) [01:20] and it seemed to work [01:20] but still getting the same issuie [01:20] in Banshee [01:20] xomniverse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:20] is there a way to make an imaginary cdrom to run these codes as is in the tutorial [01:20] that calls for use of cdrom iso [01:20] would the fact that my music folder is a symlink cause issues with Banshee? [01:21] like maybe create a directory in media thats called cdrom [01:21] hello [01:21] anybody think that would work [01:21] in /media [01:21] mojo1, without any parsed character like ' ` ; " | > before that the shell just passes that as an argument to the command. my guess is this is dailywtf worthy in that a previous coder thought you needed to start every command [01:22] lol @escot [01:22] thanks escott & all... you may be right. he could not determine that it made any difference when run. [01:22] so whats with ubuntu-live being ivite only ? [01:23] i would like to be able to keep track of live build in bot ubuntu and debian :P [01:23] it is part of an hp automation system for automated testing of applications. [01:23] yhusha_: If you just do "sudo mount /mount/cdrom" it should work. [01:23] this is what the task is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM but without a cdrom as is apparently used in the guide [01:24] well this is the code and its not making sense: sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /casper/filesystem.squashfs /mnt [01:25] why the first instance of squashfs after loop -t [01:25] When something causes a crash, and ubuntu tries to generate a bug report, does it also take a memory dump? or just a stack trace? [01:25] yhusha_: you are trying to alter the contents of the squasjfs ? [01:25] you are mounting it wrong :P [01:25] yea [01:25] no\ [01:25] other files [01:25] mount it at byte number 512 [01:25] that will get what you want [01:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1401028/ This is what Banshee says in terminal when I run it without sudo. It's very cryptic [01:26] its right here [01:26] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [01:27] yhusha_: its easier to boot to ram than this though for a live cd [01:27] look at boot parameter "toram" [01:27] im not sure if its bugged. but that is supposed to copy the whole filesystem to ram at boot [01:27] yes but this would make it so the system after install boots these certain things to ram every time right' [01:27] man live-boot [01:27] bekks / dr_willis: thanks guys - I found http://hintshop.ludvig.co.nz/show/persistent-names-usb-serial-devices/ and have it setup now :) [01:28] xomniverse: tried this? create Podcasts directory in user home directory. [01:29] holy crap that worked [01:29] TY SO MUCH! :) [01:29] xomniverse: google buddy, its magical like that [01:29] I tried google, maybe I just googled the wrong thing [01:30] xomniverse: google the complete error, it helps [01:30] xomniverse: and the first place to look is 'bug' usually [01:31] noted, thanks :) [01:31] xomniverse: :) [01:37] so, how do i rightclick on a tablet running lxde? [01:40] good morning, [01:40] can someone help me to setup port forward to my new ubuntu server [01:44] abdostar: what version are you running of ubuntu ?? [01:44] lucid: 10.12 [01:45] abdostar, I don't think that exists. [01:45] abdostar: cool i love lucid , best version there was [01:45] Daekdroom: 12.04 [01:46] im running 12.04 [01:46] i'm running 12.04 [01:48] abdostar: lol yeah it doesnt exist [01:48] abdostar: did you set up iptables yet? [01:49] JuJuBee: no, I just installed phpadmin, webmin, python .... [01:49] abdostar: ok, I use webmin to manage a server also. Did you set up ipforwarding? [01:52] JuJuBee: not yet, is this a thing I should do in webmin, or the router? [01:52] abdostar: edit /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and change the 0 to a 1 [01:53] abdostar: also edit /etc/sysctl.conf and look for # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4 [01:55] greetinsg [01:55] greetings even === OptiWork is now known as Optichip [01:56] i seek knowledge, i look to create a short cut to a shell script (pokemmo.sh) taht is pinned to my unity launcher side thing in ubuntu 12.10 [01:56] is there anyone that might assist me in this goal? [01:56] how do i locate a file? [01:57] dfgas-cr48: what do you know about the file? [01:57] abdostar: here is a guide to iptables... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [01:58] dfgas-cr48: gnome-search-tool might be one option [01:58] tizz, I can help with that [01:58] JuJuBee: which line do i have to uncomment? [01:58] I'm having trouble getting a hard drive to mount, can someone help me :/ [01:59] let me guess, a seagate hd? [01:59] abdostar: look for the one with net.ipv4.ip_forward [01:59] tizz, mv the script to /usr/sbin then make a desktop file , add a image for icon to /usr/share/pixmaps/ (for desktop file) then get fancy with it and add quicklist for options [02:00] tizz, desktop files are under /usr/share/applications/ [02:00] hi, i know i am not suppose to manually configure /etc/resolv.conf but it keeps on setting to 127.0.0.1 and i can't resolve any domain names after that. Where should i properly configure nameserver in ubuntu 12.10? [02:00] JuJuBee: done, I edited the 2 files [02:00] JuJuBee: done, I edited the 2 files, I mean thnks to you :) [02:01] join ubuntu [02:01] Hi. I am trying to configure my graphics card drivers, and I am running aticonfig --initial, and it is not being understood. Does anyone know an alternative to this command? [02:01] abdostar: I have a rule in my iptables script : -A PREROUTING -d your.outside.ip.address/32 -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport someExternalPort -j DNAT --to-destination your.inside.ip.address:desiredPort [02:01] !resolv.conf | tao [02:01] tao: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution === ubuntu is now known as Guest51720 [02:01] What is making my screen go dark. I've looked at all the monitor and screen settings and cannot find what is causing this to happen. === Guest51720 is now known as RickZilla [02:01] to skut34 linux doesn't like ATI [02:01] trust me i know [02:02] lexngton: I know. [02:02] KI4RO, you looked at battery settings ? [02:02] ive always been an nvidia guy..first ATI video card i get and nothing but problems [02:02] bobweaver: Battery settings? You mean power setup? [02:02] plus its a laptop [02:02] JuJuBee: do I have to install iptables? then edit? [02:02] abdostar: yes, install iptables. [02:03] demoing 12.10, when I open up firefox, LibreOffice, etc, I'm used to seeing another menu set at the top that I can access. Those seem to be gone in ubuntu 12.10, is there a different way to access those? [02:03] abdostar: you can use webmin to manage iptables just fine. [02:03] lexngton: I have never had a machine with an Nvidia card. I've always had ATI, and I haven't really had problems until the more recent versions Ubuntu... [02:03] JuJuBee: iptables already installed, but I have no idea how to edit it [02:03] abdostar, be careful with webmin [02:04] !webmin [02:04] 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. [02:04] yeah i know..the old version of ubuntu/pinguy worked just fine with ati because my friend had one [02:04] not sure why the new one has issues [02:04] they are working it on though [02:04] lexngton: Do you happen to know the alternative to the --initial parameter with aticonfig? [02:04] bobweaver: :) my 2nd install today, after I missed up something with the 1st one [02:04] honestly i gave up on that..i just use the default drivers...i gave up on installing ati drivers [02:04] lexngton: And yeah. 10.10 was fantastic on my other machine using an ATI card [02:05] abdostar: yeats: I use it now and it does fine for what I use it for. iptables mostly [02:05] I just hate the syntax of iptables rules? [02:05] abdostar, you are aware that there is a saying . give root permissions to user . what could go wrong ? [02:05] JuJuBee: check out ufw [02:05] JuJuBee: where can i find iptables in webmin? [02:05] JuJuBee, there is ipcop pfsense gufw ect [02:06] yeats: what does United Farm Workers have to do with anything? LOL [02:06] where can I see a list of packages ubuntu comes with by default? [02:06] comes pre-installed with* [02:06] ScottNYC, depends [02:06] !ufw [02:06] 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. [02:06] bobweaver: do these all manage iptables config? [02:06] because everyone gets different settings sometimes ScottNYC but you can look at iso [02:07] JuJuBee,the ipcop pfsense do [02:07] ok thx bobweaver [02:07] nvidia sucks [02:07] demoing 12.10, when I open up firefox, LibreOffice, etc, I'm used to seeing another menu set at the top that I can access. Those seem to be gone in ubuntu 12.10, is there a different way to access those? [02:07] ScottNYC, you can install a miniamal and run dpkg-query -l to see all packages installed [02:07] bobweaver: yeats: will they try to overwrite my current config or just read it in and let me edit? [02:08] ScottNYC, or you can extract image and look at the config there is a file can not remeber name [02:08] ScottNYC, I will mount a img [02:08] JuJuBee: not sure - I would do backups of your rules, then experiment [02:08] abdostar: looks like gufw is a gui front end for "uncomplicated firewall" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [02:08] ok thx alot [02:09] yeats: I do a nightly backup [02:09] JuJuBee: and ufw is a wrapper around iptables [02:09] yeats: I am reading the docs now. Looks cool. I will give it a try. [02:09] There is shorewall for linux ? [02:10] er spelling * [02:10] shorewall* [02:10] Can someone help me with a problem mounting a hardrive?

Sadly this is not the case and I've got a crappy generic vga driver working and most of unity is b0rken at the moment.

Installed 12.10, have an ATI 5XXX series card (5670). [05:57] Or better yet.. do a password reset, log back in, a bot for a random MMO pops up [05:58] Anything I could learn about getting onto a proxy? [05:58] Stuff was slow, so I installed the BETA AMD catalyst drivers. WOO it was faster. [05:58] Then update manager ran and updated a bunch of stuff including unity and compiz [05:58] Now I have no Unity on my desktop. [05:59] I am willing to return to a slower working state, but do not know what to do. I can open a terminal with CTRL-ALT-f1 of course... [05:59] Anyone have any advice or can point me anywhere? [05:59] wN_: Do you have any other suggestions regarding the USB device correspondence? [06:00] DialZ, did you try logging out of your acct, and back in again? Check that Unity is still selected. [06:00] Hey, quick question. I am using awesome wm from ubuntu's repos and I want to try out the latest stable version from source. How can I make sure I can revert back to the repo version if the newer version turns out to not work well?

[06:03] Eg: The sidebar, window decorations, ect.. [06:03] sounds serious [06:04] I am guessing maybe something wasn't happy with the AMD Catalyst beta drivers had installed (maybe)? [06:04] I'd like to just revert to the slow working drivers if possible [06:05] Does anyone know how to obtain the relationship between /dev/sd* and "usb 4-1" for usb devices?

[06:10] ok. so I have gnome 3, installed compiz and cccsm, and did a "compiz --replace". Now I have no gnome panels and have no way to access/launch apps. Any way to get some basic functionality back and keep using compiz too? [06:11] can you open a terminal? [06:11] ClientAlive, alt f2 works? [06:11] nothing [06:11] can get a terminal with crrl+alt+t though [06:12] ClientAlive, this is in gnome-shell , or unity [06:12] ctrl alt f1, sudo useradd, sudo shutdown -r now [06:12] ClientAlive: do you jsut have text available with no GUI? [06:13] I have gui, have my same desktop background, and the apps I had open when I did compiz --replace. Prolly could lanuch apps via the terminal but that's not the idea [06:13] not unity. i installed 12.04 server then installed gnome 3, and now this [06:14] is it really safe to reboot? [06:15] do a sudo apt-get update [06:15] ok [06:16] then try sudo apt-get install --? [06:16] theres one of the commands listed that will try and find reuqired packages if I recall correctly [06:16] maybe you are missing a dependancy. did you see any erros when installing compiz? [06:16] did that and *upgrade to see results. Everything is up to date - 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove... [06:17] err. not while installing but I think there was something after the compize --replace. I don't have that terminal window any longer. [06:17] did you install your grphics cards drivers? [06:17] did you install your graphics cards drivers?

[06:44] topper4125: Looks like the problem was that the beta catalyst drivers were actually built using the kernel headers for the pre-update kernel. [06:44] <_andyj_> shuggans: maybe I should expand on what I have been setting up, I run kvm/qemu with multiple ubuntu machines and I installed apt-cacher to not be so heavy on requests to ubuntu repo's... it works for all machines except this one, but when I wget to the repos I can access the files just fine [06:45] I needed to remove completely all that stuff, apt-get install the new linux-headers, then reinistall the amd catalyst drivers [06:45] ar9, take a look at this: [solved] minimal KDE install: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651269 [06:45] I guess I'll make notes -- think that will happen with each kernel update [06:46] DialZ, yikes... sounds like those notes will come in handy in the future. === chris__ is now known as sunyata [06:47] <_andyj_> sorry, had an old line in my apt.conf sorry for bother [06:48] well, looks like I'm back to square one.

[06:56] if no DVI is found, it uses HDMI only then [06:56] Ahhh [06:56] te frige [06:56] you have to use displayport for 3 monitors [06:56] <_andyj_> mkhan3189 just because it has 3 ports doesn't guarantee it supports using all 3 at once, my ati card has 5 ports but the dvi and mini-hdmi can't run at same time [06:56] I dont think you can run d-sub, dvi, and hdmi all at once. [06:57] they are probably there for convienience of interfaces [06:57] _andyj_ make sense. i guess i will have to go back and go nuts on the guy who said it will support all at once [06:58] can someone help me update abobe flash. im new to ubuntu [06:58] ubuntu software center?
