| winux | hello.. i recently upgraded to ubuntu 12.10.. but lsb_release -a shows Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS .. any ideas what could be causing this | 00:11 |
| winux | ? | 00:11 |
| nahuel_ | i need the dir of the spanish room, thanks | 00:11 |

| gustav__ | nibbler__: It's happier. | 00:12 |

| winux | k1l: i did a do-release upgrade | 00:14 |
| winux | k1l: http://pastebin.com/aDmK988q | 00:14 |
| k1l | winux: yep, that looks like a 12.04 | 00:15 |
| winux | No new release found when doing do-release upgrade | 00:15 |
| k1l | maybe you just did a 11.10 to 12.04 upgrade, since it was a 11.10 before | 00:15 |
| k1l | winux: you need to change the release-prompt to normal from LTS | 00:16 |
| winux | in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades? | 00:16 |
| k1l | yes | 00:17 |
| winux | great that worked | 00:17 |

| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: why is it a bad idea? | 00:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: if it depends on those packages, and you install it anyway, it wont work | 00:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and you'll have broken packages | 00:49 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: you can use dpkg and then try what ActionParsnip said. That's how things were done before gdebi. gdebi may be stupid when it comes to multiarch (I don't know) | 00:49 |

| Rob1337 | I think that's the good partition software | 00:55 |
| Rob1337 | for ubuntu | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Hausas: #/# is the sytstem partition (read the right colomn). Then read the left colomn and it tells you the partition mounted for '/' | 00:55 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: why did doing sudo apt-get install -f remove xubuntu-desktop? | 00:55 |
| Hausas | So the one with "/" should be the OS i'm on now? | 00:56 |

| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: you could manually pull down the deb, install it and satisfy the dep | 01:02 |

| Hausas | And Fedora is supposed to be there | 01:17 |

| SolarisBoy | ecart: there are no perl scripts running on your system - what makes you feel it's hidden? or even that it's running? | 01:19 |
| cabuloso | SolarisBoy, thanks =) | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Rustyblade: maybe others can advise, not sure tbh | 01:19 |
| SolarisBoy | cabuloso: sure | 01:19 |
| Rustyblade | Well I gotta get back to my sobbing... | 01:21 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: why does apt-get install -f keep wanting to remove xorg and steam packages | 01:24 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | :S | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: not sure, very weird | 01:24 |
| Hausas | I installed Mageia earlier on this morning and it crashed my whole partition | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: let me try | 01:25 |
| Hausas | I'm not gonna use it again | 01:25 |
| Hausas | ever | 01:25 |
| psychopathic | Did you guys know that digitally imported is like listening to your brain on drugs | 01:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: let you try what? O.o | 01:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | install -f? | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1415952 | 01:27 |
| Andrew__ | ActiveParsnip: do I have to format the SD card first? | 01:28 |

| SolarisBoy | has anyone used a program called live-build for creating live ubuntu systems (sorry about prefixing my question with *anyone* i couldn't think of a better way to ask that specific question) | 01:30 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: if you try installing each of the deps that it wants to install but can't and keep recursing, you will find the reason. Like I said, it's likely because of some ppa, unsupported repository, or randomly installed package | 01:30 |
| Pythagoras | i am un capable to setup a virtual host on linode. tried everything | 01:30 |
| * lieanu # | 01:31 | |

| WhereIsMySpoon | the dpkg | 01:31 |

| dfa | hi there..... how do i add an item to the menu (to not have to launch it via terminal only) ? (i have lxde) | 01:32 |
| psychopathic | Did you guys know the devil does everything perfectly if one thing it does works out to every dimension inside angle. | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove steam | 01:32 |
| puff | Hm, odd... so somebody here and also various google hits about the nvidia driver say it's there for 12.10/12.04.... but https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates does not list it. Am I looking in the right place? | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: then run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo dpkg -i steam.deb | 01:32 |
| orlok | psychopathic is a bot | 01:33 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: will try | 01:33 |
| dfa | someone willing to help this newbie? :) | 01:33 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | Does anyone here know about how umasks work? For example, I want to make sure that _all_ files and folders created inside a folder are created with permissions of 700. Or would I have to apply umasks to the user, not the folder to accomplish this? | 01:33 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | dfa: what was your question? :) | 01:34 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: and then install -f? | 01:34 |
| jrib | ClumsyFairyQueen: you want to apply it to a specific folder? | 01:34 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | jrib: yup. recursively | 01:34 |
| jrib | ClumsyFairyQueen: you would need to use ACLs to accomplish that | 01:34 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | aww. That was what I was hoping to avoid | 01:35 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | thanks anyways :) | 01:35 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip? | 01:35 |
| jrib | ClumsyFairyQueen: why :) | 01:35 |
| dfa | thanks CFQ.... i have installed icecat..... but at the moment i can only launch it via terminal..... i would like to have it in the menu (internet section)..... but don't know how to do it..... i have lxde | 01:35 |
| trism | puff: nvidia-experimental-310 for 310.14 and xedgers ppa has 310.19 | 01:35 |
| psychopathic | im half of nothing proper so bot is not | 01:35 |
| puff | trism: AH, xedgers ppa, not x-swat. | 01:36 |
| jrib | psychopathic: stay on-topic to prove you are not a bot :) | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: yes to get the deps | 01:36 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | jrib: welcome to the wonders of selinux. | 01:36 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: it wants to remove steam and xorg packages again | 01:36 |
| maveas | Got MAAS experience? | 01:36 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | dfa: sorry, can't help you with that - only use Unity and KDE | 01:36 |
| psychopathic | OK yes even better more | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: all I can say then is grab the 32bit packages for what it needs and install them | 01:37 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | dfa: you would have to create a custom launcher for it. | 01:37 |
| dfa | ok CFQ.... thank you anyways...... | 01:37 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: if you try installing each of the deps that it wants to install but can't and keep recursing, you will find the reason. Like I said, it's likely because of some ppa, unsupported repository, or randomly installed package | 01:37 |
| dfa | ANYBODY HERE GOOD WITH LXDE ? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: lose the caps please | 01:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: but thats how this all started, the deps are recursive | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: good in what way? | 01:38 |
| yhusha | can't install econnman ubuntu 12.04 which requires Python-Elementary >= 1.7.0, Python-E_DBus >= 1.7.0, + * Python >= 2.7 | 01:38 |
| dfa | sorry.... | 01:38 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: show me where you try to install each dep... | 01:38 |
| dfa | well i guess my problem is something very easy for someone who knows a bit of lxde....... | 01:39 |
| puff | trism: Whoa, edgers is some scary loking stuff. | 01:39 |
| trism | puff: yes, hence the -edgers | 01:39 |
| dfa | can you read up or do i have to rewrite it? | 01:39 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | puff: I still use it :P | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: reading up is no worry :), gimme a sec | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: if you make a .desktop file for the app in /usr/share/applications it will show. You may find alacarte can do it for you, if not then copy one of the files from ~/.config/autostart and modify it as you want | 01:40 |
| Kireji | I need to do a remote update on a 10.04 server -> 12.04 server. can this be done in one operation, or do I have to step through 11.04 and 11.10 ? where are the instructions for doing this without a GUI? | 01:41 |
| puff | trism, ClumsyFairyQueen: The key question is, if it doesn't work, how hard will it be to back out and try the binary driver installer from nvidia? | 01:41 |
| jrib | !upgrade | Kireji | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Kireji: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:41 |
| jrib | Kireji: one operation | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Kireji: 10.04 to 12.04 is suypported as it is LTS to LTS | 01:41 |
| {bosco} | hey i am running ubuntu but i have a windows 8 iso file and i need to reinstall windows but i have no DVD drive on my laptop i have tried to put it on a flash drive but nothing seams to work any programs or help??? | 01:41 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | {bosco}: ##windows | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | {bosco}: grub2 can boot ISO files. | 01:42 |
| dfa | which is the easiest way? | 01:42 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | you can set your bios to boot off a flash drive | 01:42 |
| cjae_ | so with pae 32 bit cpus can address more than 4 gig of ram | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: alacarte is a pretty GUI, not sure if its still around | 01:42 |
| {bosco} | WhereIsMySpoon, why would i go there since i am using ubuntu to create the flash drive? just curoius | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !info alacarte | 01:42 |
| ubottu | alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.5-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 91 kB, installed size 1136 kB | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | yay | 01:42 |
| Kireji | ActionParsnip: jrib thank you. and it looks like there is a 12.04.1 too, important? | 01:43 |
| trism | puff: might be difficult to purge, I haven't done it successfully in the past, but I haven't tried recently | 01:43 |
| dfa | ok thank you :) | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Kireji: doesn't matter, that just enables you to install and need fewer upgrades. This is normal for LTS releases | 01:43 |
| jrib | Kireji: 12.04.1 is just a convenience release so people that install 12.04 fresh don't have so many updates to download. You'll end up there automatically | 01:43 |
| Kireji | k thank you | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Kireji: imagine yu install Ubuntu, 3 years into the 5 years of support. Imagine the updates :). | 01:44 |
| trism | puff: though of course, the packages are created from the binary from nvidia, so they are the same | 01:44 |
| Kireji | for reference https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Kireji: the sub releases give an ISO with the newer packages already in | 01:44 |
| Kireji | jrib: ActionParsnip this is on a headless machine. I have full console/root/sudo but no GUI | 01:45 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: fun fact: it only tries to remove steam and xorg packages with install -f after the dpkg -i steam.deb is run | 01:45 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | freakin weird | 01:45 |
| Kireji | so these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Upgrade_from_11.10_to_12.04_LTS_and_10.04_LTS_to_12.04_LTS "Run the Update Manager application from the Unity Dash" - is this something I can do on a console? | 01:46 |
| jrib | Kireji: you should click on the server link at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/ | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Kireji: yes, just run: sudo do-release-upgrade | 01:46 |

| puff | trism: Created from the binary, but when I go to install the edgers ppa it warns about package dependencies, etc. | 01:47 |
| puff | trism: Which is the scary part. | 01:47 |
| puff | How smooth is the 11.10 to 12.4 upgrade? | 01:47 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| trism | puff: yes, I was just speaking of the nvidia-graphics-driver package, -edgers has an updated xorg stack as well | 01:47 |
| frankko | holy mother of.... 66mB/s in steam right now | 01:47 |
| puff | trism: Ok, so the depednency scariness doesn't apply to the nvidia-graphics-driver? | 01:47 |
| trism | puff: that is the part that may be difficult to ppa-purge later (the nvidia-graphics-driver packages are easy enough to purge and replace) | 01:48 |
| empacher | hi! I am a frustrated noob trying to install some linux OS in a 1.8Ghz single core intel CPU, 1Gb RAM and ATI mobility radeon 9600. In xubuntu 12.04 everything installs smoothly, then i reboot and everything works fine! Then eventually i have 130 updates to install, or something. I do that and restart and there's no problem. However. As I shutdown and come back the next day it crashes everytime it is loading the desktop... :( | 01:48 |
| frankko | serious sam3 will be downloaded in seconds | 01:48 |
| puff | trism: Is it feasible to just try the nvidia-graphics-driver part? | 01:48 |
| trism | puff: well, if you use -edgers, you are really going to have to pull in the whole stack | 01:48 |
| whywontitwork | Hi I have a USB wireless adapter that dosn't connect to home network... keeps asking for password over and over | 01:48 |
| frankko | empacher, did you put distro upgrades on while you installed.? | 01:48 |
| puff | trism: Ah, yeah, that's what I was afraid of... | 01:48 |
| frankko | you might have to go all the way to the version that is current | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | empacher: do you get the log in screen? | 01:49 |
| puff | Guess I'll try upgrading to 12.4 first. | 01:49 |
| frankko | empacher, remove all files in /etc/apt/sources.d/ | 01:49 |
| whywontitwork | Hello? | 01:50 |
| frankko | empacher, then look at you sources.list | 01:50 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | hi whywontitwork | 01:50 |
| whywontitwork | is that name taken by someone else? | 01:50 |
| frankko | empacher, if it is only main mirrors, do a aptitude .dist upgrade. | 01:50 |
| whywontitwork | because I just picked it because NOTHING IS WORKING FOR NO ReASON | 01:50 |
| Kireji | ActionParsnip: jrib thank you | 01:50 |
| frankko | if it is a lts version expect for five years new kernels and goodies. | 01:51 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||

| WhereIsMySpoon | what do | 01:51 |
| frankko | whywontitwork, what name? Was it frankko? Because i was sure i regged it in 1999 | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | whywontitwork: try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it | 01:51 |
| whywontitwork | If it's any help the adapter is a TP-LINK TL-WN723N | 01:51 |
| jihad-sabra | HI | 01:52 |
| joosengee_ | hi | 01:52 |
| joosengee_ | everybody | 01:52 |
| frankko | listen to ActionParsnip ipv6 causes a lot of trouble on hardware that can not handle it... but i do not think that there is much of them left. | 01:52 |
| joosengee_ | someone use ubuntu | 01:52 |
| joosengee_ | or not | 01:52 |
| jihad-sabra | WHAT | 01:53 |
| jihad-sabra | me | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | whywontitwork: sudo: unable to resolve host blah did you change the hostname of the PC? | 01:53 |
| whywontitwork | it doesn't mention incompatibility with IPv6 | 01:53 |
| joosengee_ | I need to know how can I use itune 11 in it? | 01:53 |
| joosengee_ | I use iphone 4 now. | 01:53 |
| whywontitwork | joosengee_: iTunes does NOT work under Linux at all. | 01:53 |
| frankko | Joonake, no we hang out here from our QNX, Amiga and BeOS machines because we like the philosophy of ubuntu. OFCOURSE we are running it. | 01:53 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | joosengee_: you can't - what are you trying to do/accomplish? | 01:54 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | *with itunes | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | joosengee_: ive seen youtube videos of uitunes running but as far as I'm aware it doesn't run and you'll need the closed source virtualbox + full windows lioense and media | 01:54 |
| whywontitwork | Look around for some alternatives, GTKpod works for the most part | 01:54 |
| empacher | frankko: i'm not sure i understand what that means :) but i'll try. The log screen appears, i can even interact with it in the first 2 or 3 seconds, then it freezes. 2 seconds later the screen goes black and nothing can be done... i have to pull the plug, boot from CD and install the OS again... | 01:54 |
| joosengee_ | Oh. I Can't jailbreak the iphone 4 with itune. | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | whywontitwork: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUrqcD4W_M | 01:55 |
| joosengee_ | Now I'm waiting the news for jailbreak iphone 5. | 01:55 |
| frankko | empacher, you can do that from the recovery mode if you like. boot in recovery, set your root drive as writable and do the alteration | 01:55 |
| joosengee_ | If it can, I will urgent to buy it. | 01:55 |
| jihad-sabra | plz how i can add back track 5 tools to ubuntu | 01:55 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: so now do « apt-cache policy libcairo2 » | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: sudo: unable to resolve host blah have you changed the hostname? | 01:55 |
| jihad-sabra | ?? | 01:55 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | joosengee_: its possible - there are a bunch of guides on google | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jihad-sabra: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux | 01:56 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | but none that I have used, so I won't send any sites directly here. | 01:56 |
| joosengee_ | it can, or not? | 01:56 |
| frankko | empacher, OK if you get graphical login screen do crtl+alt+F1 and enter cli | 01:56 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | joosengee_: it can. | 01:56 |
| joosengee_ | what's about can? | 01:56 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | or at least for the 4S versions, so there should be one for 5 | 01:56 |
| === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf | ||
| joosengee_ | Can jailbreak the iphone 5 with ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| frankko | empacher, then do in terminal: sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 01:57 |
| munaq | hello | 01:57 |
| munaq | :) | 01:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: eh? | 01:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: will try | 01:57 |
| joosengee_ | The software of jailbreak that can run on the ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| whywontitwork | how do I switch off IPv6? | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: read the text, seems the PC cannot resolve its own hostname to 127.0.0.1 | 01:58 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | joosengee_: as said, there is software for ubuntu that can jailbreak the 4S. Not for ubuntu yet, but should be avaliable in the future | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | whywontitwork: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 01:58 |
| frankko | empacher, then sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove all non canonical entries bu moving to the line and pressing ctrl+K | 01:58 |
| frankko | yyou can move with the arrow keys in nano | 01:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ActionParsnip: he has no networking issues that are showing bad symptoms atm | 01:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | so i dont think its an issue | 01:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | tho i could be wrong again :D | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: its good to have the system be able to talk to itself | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: the name in /etc/hostname needs to be presetnt in /etc/hosts so it resolves to 127.0.0.1 | 01:59 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | joosengee_: you will want to watch the Absinthe project | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | WhereIsMySpoon: its not going to fix the issue but its needed for things in the OS | 01:59 |
| whywontitwork | can I get a driver for this usb stick that i have? | 01:59 |
| frankko | after that it is just to do an "sudo apt-get update" and a "aptitude dist-upgrade " then you are done | 01:59 |
| whywontitwork | TL-WN723N | 01:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: http://pastie.org/5491608 | 02:00 |

| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: so there you go | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | r | 02:00 |
| joosengee_ | How can I follow the Absinthe project ? | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: there i go? | 02:00 |
| empacher | frankko: thanks a lot. I've written that down and i will try it. Sometimes i can be fast enough to enter ctrl+alt+F1, but just in those 2 secs before the crash. a bit later and not even REISUB works. | 02:00 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: look at what you have pastebinned | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: i need to add those reps? | 02:00 |
| frankko | empacher, then you would only get updates if you are on a late release or a LTS becauseyou allready would have the newest | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | to sources.list | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | right? | 02:00 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: you have a version of that package that is not from the ubuntu repositories | 02:00 |
| WeThePeople | how to run a .py script in 12.04 | 02:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | WeThePeople: python asd.py | 02:01 |
| WeThePeople | thanks | 02:01 |
| empacher | frankko: i tried xubuntu 12.04 LTS and it says i need 130 or so updates | 02:01 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: sorry if im being stupid, but where in there does it say where its from | 02:01 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: there are 3 versions listed. The bottom two come from quantal and quantal-updates. The first one is currently not available from any repository you have enabled (it probably came from a ppa you had in precise and got disabled) | 02:02 |
| frankko | empacher, the login manager is the problem, try using the recovery in the boot menu before booting. Mount the drive as root with write privilegies and use chroot to the mountpoint to get to the console of the system. Then remove said display/login manager | 02:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | jrib: so what do i do now | 02:02 |

| whywontitwork | WTF? Suddenly it works. Sorry guys! | 02:03 |
| jrib | WhereIsMySpoon: up to you. You can either remove all of the versions that come from the ppa and downgrade back to the official versions, or re-enable the PPA and pray it does not break everything (PPAs are unofficial repositories == unsupported) | 02:04 |
| empacher | frankki: only i get to see all my desktop appearing and even some popups and notifications, then BAM, crash | 02:04 |

| empacher | frankko: i have no idea what that means (I am as noob as a newborn baby) but i will try to do what you told me and see if it improves. I don't know if it has something to do with the kernel (it always asks me to install a new kernel), or if it has something to do with the graphic drivers (once i got an error appearing over and over when i did ctrl alt F1 before the crash saying something about radeon i can't remember.

| profElm | Hi all, I'm trying to remove GRUB from my computer but I'm having a hard time doing so. I tried to reformat and install Windows 7 again, while running BootRec.exe /fixmbr but that does not do anything. | 02:16 |
| profElm | Is there a way that I can troubleshoot this from a live USB? | 02:16 |
| WeThePeople | profelm, installing win7 should remove the grub from mbr | 02:17 |
| profElm | I would assume so, myself. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | profElm: you could zero the drive totally wirh dd.. or ask in #windows | 02:17 |
| profElm | However, I have two blank hard drives in my computer. One is a 1TB and one is a SSD. I don't know if that is a factor, though. | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | unplug one ;-) | 02:18 |
| lcabreza | actividentity not turning blue on Windows 7 or WIndows xp using virtualbox? need HELP ! | 02:18 |

| dr_willis | whats actividentity? | 02:19 |
| profElm | I can see the drives in GParted, though. | 02:19 |
| Erin | profElm, use gparted to create a new MBR/parition table (msdos) | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | profElm: if you totally want to erase the hd. use dd. tgen use wundows to partition ir | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | it. | 02:20 |
| profElm | Thanks Erin and doctor willis. | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | or gparted | 02:20 |
| mrklaw | @profElm why do you think windows didn't clear grub out? | 02:20 |
| profElm | I know what you talking 'bout. | 02:20 |
| Erin | doesn't he just need to make a new mbr/partition table ? | 02:20 |
| profElm | mrklaw, ever since I installed W8 on my desktop, weird things started happening. | 02:21 |
| lcabreza | dr_willis: its class A badge : acive key .. | 02:21 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | whilst trying to purge a non-standard ppa, ppa-purge is saying its gonna remove grub-common | 02:30 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | is that gonna remove grub entirely or just the outdated version and install the latest official version | 02:30 |
| devon | okay the message I got was [drm]neuvou: Failed to idle channel <x>. <x> being 1, 2, or 3 | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | was your ppa doing somthing with grub? | 02:31 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | dr_willis: it was a wine ppa | 02:31 |
| mnathani | How would I go about fixing this dependancy issue? http://goo.gl/KRjWz | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | thats weird that grub is affected | 02:32 |

| Staiden | on 12.04.01 server we are having a problem getting samba 4 package to install, we are needing it for zentyal. it kinda looks like it might be having a problem writing over samba 2? we did sudo apt-get remove --purge samba, then did a fresh install of samba it gave us the same error | 02:43 |

| IdleOne | cool | 03:04 |

| puff | dr_willis: I don't remember it taking quite so long, dang. | 03:04 |
| puff | dr_willis: Also, I'd clean install but then it's a huge pain to get data & etc migrated over. | 03:05 |

| read | DaemonicApathy yes, and I tried 3 options. I installed it regularly, I try installing as OEM, and I used try. Only OEM and installing it regularly gives me this problem | 03:37 |
| DaemonicApathy | Using Try is what they mean by LiveUSB - it should give you access to the filesystem to check the logs. | 03:38 |

| frankko | nope the setting i need is not there either... what menace to process keeps dimming my screen?! | 03:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ActionParsnip: It won't let me do that (even if I start Wubi included with the virtually mounted ISO image). It just bullheadedly ignores the fact that the Ubuntu core files are within the ISO and downloads like it didn't exist | 03:50 |

| clunkychicken | almoxarife: yes he is | 03:50 |

| clunkychicken | surely now he should beable to find out | 04:15 |
| frankko | ok we are talking macbooks, in very short: What was the problem? | 04:16 |
| almoxarife | frankko: if you want to argue with the error correction presented by ubuntu, sure, i dont, i had bigger fish to fry | 04:16 |

| frankko | almoxarife, sorry, did not mean to offend you | 04:16 |

| almoxarife | read: yes | 04:17 |
| xangua | Laibsch: otherwise using a kernel from other sources either a repository or compiled yourself, you are on your own :) | 04:17 |
| Laibsch | xangua: mainline kernels are provided for a reason | 04:17 |
| xangua | Laibsch: for testing :) not for daily use | 04:17 |
| Laibsch | exactly | 04:17 |
| Laibsch | for testing | 04:17 |
| Laibsch | and that's what I want them for | 04:18 |
| Laibsch | where did I say I want them for daily use? | 04:18 |
| trism | Laibsch: mostly testing reasons, but in any case, kernels after quantal split out most of the modules into a separate -extra package, you must make sure to install that as well | 04:18 |
| almoxarife | read: you might also look at them pastes, simple method, use the webbrowser to find 'error' on page, usually that is not good, and you have a few on syslog | 04:18 |
| trism | Laibsch: sounds like your problem anyway, my keyboard and mouse don't work without them | 04:18 |

| ActionParsnip | lauratika: is it ok if you don't use the VPN, or is the VPN 100% necvessary to get web access? | 05:12 |
| lauratika | yep, to watch content out of the country. | 05:13 |

| RickZilla | Running 12.10, How can I get something on the desktop to be visible across all workspaces? | 05:14 |
| SaidKLE | @RickZilla: for icons and files, that is the default behavior. For windows, right-click on the title bar and select the option that says "visible on all workspaces". | 05:15 |
| SaidKLE | "always on visible workspace" Sorry. | 05:16 |

| RickZilla | Hmmm...that doesn't seem to work. I right click on the title bar and select "always on visible workspace", close it, then when I open the file again, "only on this workspace" is selected. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? | 05:22 |
| SaidKLE | @Jeremy3D: graphical way is to look up linux-libc-dev in your package manager and check the version there. Mine says 3.5.0-19.30 | 05:23 |
| joshtran2 | I need help, in gnome 3 my window controls are on the right and in the wrong order but going into gconf-editor and changing it doesn't work | 05:25 |

| danny | i am attempting to get into my /var/log/messages using this command sudo tail -f /var/log/messages am i doing it wrong ? | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: how do you get that mint is 'top dog' (whatever that means) | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: if you want solid then use Precise. Its supported long after Quantal is EOL | 05:55 |
| djustice | ubuntu (canonical) is a corporation. a product. not a linux. come to the archlinux/chakra side. we have cookies. and simplicity. | 05:55 |
| crimsonmane | danny: i think it's "dmesg" not "messages" | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | djustice: ubuntu holds hands more, people like that more than cookies | 05:55 |
| * kvothetech sucks harder on you and | 05:56 | |
| CnetCOM | Well Mint is far more stable reliable and popular so and Ubuntu has gotten worse is Canonical pulling the plug? | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: not at all, also you'll find mint will probably die if ubuntu ceased | 05:57 |
| djustice | ubuntu causes the need for hand holding. | 05:57 |
| djustice | over complexity will kill both projects. | 05:57 |
| djustice | "do one job, and do it well." | 05:57 |
| DrManhattan | what is the benefit to using ubuntu over something like Gentoo? | 05:58 |
| CnetCOM | I heard Mint will go its own way now so how will they dies if ubuntu keeps releasing half done OSs | 05:58 |
| danny | crimsonmane: i connected a usb flashdrive and nothing came up | 05:58 |
| djustice | DrManhattan: quicker reinstall when you break something. | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: if you don't like ubuntu, don't use it. I'm not seeing your point in any of this apart from Ubuntu bashing, which at best is pointless | 05:58 |
| djustice | DrManhattan: much the same as chakra vs archlinux. | 05:58 |
| CnetCOM | i need the juicy stuff to write my review... | 05:58 |
| DrManhattan | CnetCOM, ActionParsnip has a good going | 05:58 |
| crimsonmane | danny: meh. i looked about a week ago and didn't find "messages". what is it you're looking for in there? | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | good point | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: how do you mean juicy stuff? | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: you clearly dislike it so your review is not going to be objective any way, so why bother | 05:59 |
| DrManhattan | djustice, i've heard of arch, but never used it. Is it a distro one compiles as well? | 05:59 |
| danny | crimsonmane: im reading the linux command line and its teaching me about storage media and it says the kernel will notice the device i put in | 06:00 |
| * DrManhattan uses CnetCOM as a toilet | 06:00 | |
| CnetCOM | I tried you OS and nothing works well is Canonical trying to get lazy developers so Ubuntu goes under? | 06:00 |
| djustice | juicy stuff: corporations care about corporations. they polarize their community into so called developmental poverty. it's stagnant. the package and maintainence process is too complex. | 06:00 |
| djustice | DrManhattan: it is. | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: they are the same devs as always | 06:00 |
| crimsonmane | danny: "The Linux Command Line" ? i read that :) a good read. that's why i was looking for "messages" too! | 06:00 |
| djustice | danny: there should be a change under /dev/sdX | 06:00 |
| DrManhattan | djustice, shame there's not better backup solutions for linux. | 06:00 |
| DrManhattan | Clonezilla seems to be the best out there so far for lin | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: I use a cron'd cp command. works well. You could even cron rsync | 06:01 |
| CnetCOM | no look at your issues on your blog there seem to be more issues now on this release than any other and its getting worse not better | 06:01 |
| almoxarife | crimsonmane: as in /var/log/messages ? | 06:01 |
| djustice | haha. | 06:01 |
| djustice | linux has no backup issue. | 06:01 |

| DrManhattan | CnetCOM, please stop trolling. | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: the new release isn't an LTS, so it will appear worse than the last release which was LTS. Think about it... | 06:01 |
| danny | djustice: /dev/sdX ? could u tell me what to do with that | 06:01 |
| djustice | facts tho. | 06:01 |
| CnetCOM | so is Canonical pulling funding ? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | CnetCOM: not at all | 06:02 |
| djustice | danny: in 'konsole' type "ls /dev/sd*<enter>" before and after plugging in the device. | 06:02 |
| crimsonmane | djustice: he wants to see "in action" the kernel recognize the device inserted | 06:02 |
| djustice | CnetCOM: i'd wager so. they have to keep afloat. | 06:02 |
| CnetCOM | I think they are why would your release get worse and worse if they are not planing on dumping Ubuntu? | 06:02 |

| dr_willis | it must be quiet time... ;) | 06:20 |
| usr13 | mnathani: What DE are you using? | 06:21 |
| mnathani | 12.10 | 06:21 |
| usr13 | mnathani: Unity? | 06:21 |
| mnathani | not sure | 06:21 |
| mnathani | it was a stock install | 06:21 |
| ejo | mnathani: clean install, not upgrade? | 06:22 |
| mnathani | and then I tried installing a proprietary Nvidia driver | 06:22 |
| mnathani | it was working before the Nvidia driver failure | 06:22 |
| mnathani | Clean install | 06:22 |
| ejo | hardly need to ask, but have you rebooted or at least logged out/in since? | 06:22 |
| mnathani | yes, several times | 06:22 |
| ejo | mm | 06:22 |
| usr13 | mnathani: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 06:22 |
| usr13 | mnathani: several times what? | 06:22 |
| mnathani | rebooted several times | 06:23 |
| mnathani | xorg.conf does not exist in the X11 folder | 06:23 |
| usr13 | What method did you use to install Nvidia drivers? | 06:23 |
| mnathani | I downloaded a binary for linux 64bit and my model | 06:24 |
| mnathani | from nvidia.com | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | you mean the .run driver? | 06:24 |
| mnathani | thats right | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | you did try the one in the repos first? | 06:24 |
| mnathani | I did | 06:24 |
| mnathani | nvidia-current I believe | 06:25 |
| mnathani | that didnt work, similar mouse with no icons issue | 06:25 |
| usr13 | mnathani: Did you run nvidia-xconfig ? | 06:25 |
| mnathani | but it was easy to remove | 06:25 |
| mnathani | I did not | 06:25 |
| usr13 | mnathani: SO try it. sudo nvidia-xconfig | 06:25 |
| mnathani | I am doing: apt-get install nvidia-current | 06:26 |
| usr13 | ok | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | mnathani: is this a laptop with that dual gpu optimus stuff? | 06:26 |
| mnathani | no, its actually a macbookpro 2010 edition | 06:26 |
| mnathani | I believe the graphic card is integrated | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | well its in there somewhere.. if thats what you mean. ;) | 06:27 |
| mnathani | I mean as opposed to dedicated | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | not too many laptops have removeable gfx (i have seen a few) | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | mnathani: ive never seen a nvidia card that wasent dedicated..... | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | you sure it has a nvidia? | 06:28 |
| shinji257 | Well something must of been weird with my configs or something with ssh before. I had the system do a full purge of openssh-server then reinstall. Went back in and disabled only PasswordAuthentication and it worked. o.O | 06:28 |
| mnathani | I ran nvidia-xconfig which said it generated an xorg.conf | 06:29 |
| mnathani | then reboot, and the resolution has changed, but still no menu or icons on the dekstop | 06:29 |
| shinji257 | P.S. - ChallengeResponseAuthentication has to be disabled as well or PasswordAuthentication is overridden and it is allowed anyways. Can't control that one in Match Groups though (which was my intent later on) | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | mnathani: this is when i normally suggest installing lubuntu-desktop so the person at least has a useable system. untill they can figure out the nvidia/unity issues | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | i think the core of the issue is compiz is not seeing proper 3d support and is crashing. so no wm starts | 06:31 |
| mnathani | how can I disable compiz | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | mnathani: install/use a different desktop.. like lubuntu-desktop | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | or some other wm/desktop | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mnathani: if you are using Precise you can use Unity2D | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | compiz is supposed to fall back to some 2d mode, or somthing if the hardware is seen to not use 3d. but tthats flakey at times | 06:33 |
| mnathani | I actually get to a desktop and can right click, but the icons and menu / launchers are missing | 06:34 |
| mnathani | installing lubuntu in the mean time | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | and thats what compiz controls. | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | you are seeing the 'x server' with only a partitial desktop | 06:34 |
| mnathani | The nvidia run file was expecting either 2.4 or 2.6 kernel | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | the core of unity runs as a compiz plugin. no compiz = most of the desktop not running | 06:35 |
| mnathani | I see | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | mnathani: dont use the .run drivers | 06:35 |
| mnathani | Perhaps it would be easier to start fresh and reinstall the OS? | 06:36 |
| mnathani | as it was working initially - just no 3d effects | 06:37 |
| === gpix13 is now known as gpix13_away | ||
| z4139jq | why not uninstall the priority driver? | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | thats because compiz was using the fallback low-effect mode | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | thet .run driver has some sort of uninstaller i thought. i never use it | 06:38 |
| mnathani | apparently --uninstall | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | if you uninstall that .run thing and apt-get remove nvidia-current i think it will go back to using the noveau drivers | 06:39 |
| mnathani | ok, did the remove and uninstall and rebooted | 06:43 |
| mnathani | I can see the launcher but the resolution is stuck at 640x480 | 06:43 |

| dr_willis | its annoying. ;-) | 06:48 |
| virus-design | is there anyone around to help | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | virus-design | 06:49 |
| ubottu | virus-design: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 06:49 |
| babylon | #bookz | 06:49 |
| virus-design | can i shrink the partion size of user and mont it on local user | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | you can use samba to share ntfs if its mounted right..r | 06:50 |
| dr_willis | virus-design: your use of the terms user and local user us... confuseing | 06:50 |
| virus-design | actually in the file system partition | 06:51 |
| virus-design | iam findind a folder called user | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | you mean /usr/ ? | 06:51 |
| virus-design | yes | 06:52 |

| dr_willis | thats not the same as usEr | 06:52 |
| sail | how to get list of all packages that i hav installed in my ubuntu system? | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | /usr/ is a system directory. your users files are in their home dirs in /home/ | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | !clone | sail | 06:53 |
| ubottu | sail: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 06:53 |

| sail | ubottu: actually i am doing minimal install now so i want the list of packages my this ubuntu system so that i can apply my needed packages in minimal install | 06:54 |

| dr_willis | virus-design: or use scp/ssh to transfer files withiut a perment share | 06:55 |
| Shudorshon | :P | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | sail: use those commands to get a list. transfer the list over. install from the list | 06:56 |

| mikekk91 | ok, so I should be able to type in Zorin in the channels field and get some help? | 07:10 |
| crimsonmane | rockworldmi: i used blackberry as computer internet before. you're not "sharing" the internet because the phone acts as the modem, for starters. you call your service provider to get the credentials, basically the phone acts like an old-school modem and they give you the phone number you "dial" | 07:10 |

| markovh | which can mount a sub directory for them | 08:24 |
| Thete | Sunilbs1: Well something sounds like it's causing it to overheat | 08:24 |

| Thete | Yes, but I don't have a solution for your issue | 08:45 |
| Thete | Could be some kind of kernel error, or lacking support for something | 08:46 |
| sonne | nibbler__, that would update the drivers to the latest release in LTS, but i need the latest vendor release | 08:46 |
| nibbler__ | sonne: thats not recommended at all :p | 08:46 |

| nibbler__ | sonne: if you have to, i'd suggest either generating the packages with the bin installer, or use checkinstall to generate packets and not just dump files in your fs | 08:47 |
| sonne | nibbler__, i'm trying to run Steam, it says it requires nvidia >= 305, while LTS ships 295... upgrading to that should be enough already :) | 08:47 |

| puff | I upgraded my thinkpad t520 w/nvidia/optimus from 11.10 to 12.4 using the software updates dialog. After several hours, the dialog said something like 27 minutes left. Then it popped up a message about not being able to configure dmsetup. Before I could fully read it, the screen went blank/black. No GUI, no virtual terminals. I let it sit for a couple hours more while I went out, in case it was still finishing those last 27 | 09:02 |

| Sunilbs1 | You have any Idea | 09:31 |
| Sunilbs1 | ? | 09:31 |
| notwist | jud: if it's AIM their servers might not accept connections from Pidgin. Maybe they have before but have recently started not accepting it. It's just a hypothetical situation but you should try logging in to an account you KNOW should work (verify it in AIMs own client) to see if logging in to any account works | 09:31 |

| mitchell_ | Sunilbs1: Have you dusted out your heatsink? | 09:31 |
| jud | notwist: how might you proceed to figure it out? | 09:31 |
| notwist | jud: you need to figure out if it's the account, the software or the connection thats failing. That means that you should replace the account, the software and the connection. | 09:32 |
| Sunilbs1 | Mitchell : No- | 09:32 |
| mitchell_ | Sunilbs1: Dust it out first, Also check your BIOS to make sure that the temperature is normal | 09:33 |
| mitchell_ | Sunilbs1: If that does not work. Reset your BIOS to default settings and see if their is an BIOS update for your Motherboard | 09:34 |
| Sunilbs1 | Mitchell: But there is no issue with Win 7 & Ubuntu 10.04. And the temperature shows 71 C | 09:34 |

| Fluor | I need to boot the Ubuntu netinst installer in textmode, my remote video thingy does not like framebuffers: https://8n1.org/8624/26f8 - does anyone know if this is possible? | 10:05 |
| jud | TakeItEZ: ok this time i've selected IRC because it works on this system | 10:06 |
| jud | TakeItEZ: ok, so it was the protocol dude. AIM was the default protocol and it didn't work..why not? | 10:09 |
| TakeItEZ | jud: because it doesn't allow creating new accounts via this client | 10:10 |
| jud | TakeItEZ: is trial and error the only way to figure out which clients are allowed? | 10:11 |
| Fluor | ... | 10:11 |
| blackshirt | Close your pidgin,remove .pidgin or .purple dir on your home dir and start pidgin again to reconfig from scratch | 10:12 |
| TakeItEZ | jud: you should know which protocol you want to use _before_ you configure an account. and if thas protocol doesn't allow account-creation this way, you have to register via a webservice or smthng like that before | 10:13 |
| jud | blackshirt: 12.10 installs it as part of the package..so you're saying I can choose clients in the configuration? | 10:14 |
| TakeItEZ | jud: its not very common to register to a network, "just because the client allows" to do so | 10:14 |
| TakeItEZ | jud: so if your buddies use xmpp, you create a xmpp-account. they use icq, you create an icq-account etc.pp | 10:15 |

| wdp | Can i somehow configure it to have eth0, eth1, and eth2? | 10:20 |
| jud | TakeItEZ: well, rather than bother you with that, I'll install firefox and install flash to that and figure out chromium later. I currently have the firefox tar.bz2 extracted to the desktop. I don't know what the installation instruction file is. any idea? | 10:21 |

| Josssse | How can I do it? | 11:24 |
| Josssse | Thanks. | 11:24 |
| dr_willis | Josssse: i think you can set ubuntu one to sync folders outside of the Ubujntu One Directory now. or you could link whever the snipits are stored to a folder in your Uubntu One directory. | 11:25 |
| k1l_ | Josssse: take alook at unison. basically it is a 2-way rsync. so snycing the gedit folders could do it | 11:25 |

| Josssse | dr_willis, Yes, I can sync other directories with on. What I would like to do is to put all the config files that hare syncd in one directory and share it. | 11:27 |
| Josssse | So how do i tell gedit to read the config files from this new directory i've created? | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | Josssse: you could do some fancy linking i guess. | 11:27 |
| dan_ | dr_willis i use this laptop to play videos on the projector in a theater , i have seen other play videos on the projector out using a software called Virtual DJ on windows, with that they just hit play and video appears on the projector and not on the laptop screen, i am looking for a similar functionality :D | 11:27 |
| Josssse | dr_willis, Ahh, good idea. I'm very bad with linking though. I don't even understand too well. | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | dan_: you can just use the extended desktop feature and drag the video player over to the 2nd monitor. | 11:28 |
| Josssse | So first thing I must do is find the dictionary file and the snippets file. Any ideas where they might be? | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | Nope. I dont use gedit.. i would guess in .config | 11:29 |

| rifter | I'm having weird freezes of the window manager since yesterday's upgrade - packages: http://pastebin.com/VqT11jDE all of a sudden I can't move windows around anymore or switch focus | 12:26 |
| DarkSim | So I have to reinstall the OS again, pff. I will lose all my data again :/ | 12:26 |
| rifter | and I can't figure out how to restart the window manager in 12.04 or x for that matter | 12:26 |
| rifter | I created a new user and that user has the same problem. actually what was happening just awhile ago was it froze on me, I rebooted, and no matter who I logged in as the problem started happening right away.. like once I started anything | 12:27 |
| rifter | I don't know why it is working right now, but apparently I was able to get to xchat | 12:28 |
| rifter | I'm not sure how to revert to the old versions either since as I recall I would have to uninstall the packages and reinstall from the cache, and uninstalling unity, etc would uninstall everything else | 12:29 |
| rifter | when I tried going to fvwm2, anything I tried to start gave me the spinning cursor forever. That is probably unrelated because I haven't used fvwm2 on this box yet | 12:32 |
| rifter | or rather on this install | 12:32 |
| rifter | I'm in classic gnome now, which was freezing too earlier.. as in as soon as I logged in and started something, but is not acting up just now | 12:35 |
| DarkSim | Is there any way to check wether or not which programs I can save before I reinstall Ubuntu_ | 12:37 |
| rifter | DarkSim, you mean what prograks are installed or what? | 12:38 |
| DarkSim | Because when I installed last time I made sure I had a partition where I would put all programs and files | 12:38 |
| DarkSim | but it doesnt seem like Ubuntu put anything there to begin with, so I guess I have to overwrite everything now | 12:39 |
| rifter | DarkSim, if reinstalling you leave your home directory your user-specific settings are kept | 12:39 |
| DarkSim | if these are made during 12.10 and I install 12.04 would those still work? | 12:39 |
| rifter | DarkSim, well if there is nothing on the partition there is nothing gto save. but do you mean the partition is not even formatted? is this a new install? | 12:40 |
| DarkSim | I meant that I partitioned a disk into two sections were one is where I install ubuntu, the other one is a junkfile/app drive, but I cant choose were to install things in ubuntu so that disk is pretty useless | 12:41 |
| TedU | hi | 12:41 |
| rifter | DarkSim, if the partitions are made they can be used asgain, but you would not want to leave progrqams there | 12:41 |
| TedU | This is the first time I've ever considered using Linux. Would you give me one piece of advice? | 12:42 |
| datruth | whats the difference between the noveau driver vs the nvidia driver 3.04? | 12:43 |
| DarkSim | TedU: Stock up some patience, it will be needed | 12:43 |
| Varange | hi there | 12:44 |
| TedU | I believe I should buy a cheap used computer, so that I can take my time getting it going | 12:44 |
| DarkSim | probably a good idea | 12:44 |
| rifter | datruth, the closed source driver gives you 3d | 12:44 |
| rifter | TedU, not a bad idea | 12:44 |
| TedU | Does it matter if it's a Dell, HP, Gateway or maybe even Generic? | 12:45 |
| datruth | rifter: so the closed source driver nvidia 3.04 gives me 3d and noveau does not? | 12:45 |
| rifter | datruth, it also has some other proprietary features I can't think of right now | 12:45 |
| sergii | Hi all, please if someone can help me with EXPECT in ubuntu 12.++ pls open private, It was really annoying, I really need help!!! | 12:45 |
| rifter | datruth, noveau used not to give you 3d.. I think it still doesn't | 12:45 |
| datruth | rifter: proprietary features in the nvidia driver 3.04 or noveau? | 12:46 |
| belgianguy | I just enrolled in a beta of some sort, and am experiencing crashes, where do I find the version of the graphics driver (AMD/ATI Catalyst) | 12:46 |
| datruth | rifter: gotcha | 12:46 |
| mmonat | cal | 12:46 |
| rifter | datruth, the closed source one gives proprietary features, yeah | 12:46 |
| datruth | Does ubuntu boot without an xorg.conf? | 12:46 |
| sergii | People, someone knows how i can do script for example sudo apt-get ... and do it automatic? sending password | 12:46 |
| rifter | TedU, no it should not matter, especially with a desktop | 12:46 |
| datruth | rifter: anyway I can fix my screen brightness keys without using an xorg.conf whenever I do I'm unable to use chrome | 12:47 |
| rifter | TedU, laptops can be tricky, but brand doesn't matter there, either.. it's a matter of what is supported on it | 12:47 |
| DarkSim | Time to reinstall whole OS again :( | 12:47 |

| sergii | but i cant write command with expect | 12:52 |
| rifter | sergii, expect can be tricky.. it's been years since I used it.. I used perl with the expect module when I did | 12:52 |
| nsahoo | can I install a package for ubuntu precise on ubuntu quantal? | 12:52 |
| rifter | sergii, there's some info on expect online, and an oreilly book.. I think it is called exploring expect | 12:53 |

| sergii | mi console returns this: | 12:53 |
| sergii | invalid command name "sudo" while executing "sudo mkdir abrirrrrr" (file "./aja.sh" line 3) | 12:53 |
| rifter | sergii, expect responds to promots with commands,m that's how it works. there is a way to get it to let you type after, but I forget what I did for that | 12:54 |
| fishcooker | should i install new kernel | 12:54 |
| fishcooker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416749/ | 12:54 |

| rifter | anyone know what the application is that gives the alt-tab switching for gnome? I detailed my current problems earlier but I guess no one was sure what to make of it. In any case in unity alt-tab was not working and I am in classic gnome and it does not work there either | 14:22 |
| Argure | I'm trying to figure out what graphics card you are using, as newer nvidia cards (with Optimus technology) are infamous for causing problems with the desktop manager | 14:22 |

| bazhang | rifter, yes, its an extension for gnome-shell | 14:22 |
| read | Argure: oh, so what is your conclusion from the information I provided? | 14:23 |
| bazhang | rifter, there is also one that does the alt-tab coverflow | 14:23 |

| bibi23 | Hi, when using the "top" command, is there a way to search for a process by its name, I can't find anything when typing "h" for help. thx | 15:44 |
| jrib | bibi23: htop might me easier to use but let me check top | 15:44 |
| jrib | bibi23: you can use L in top | 15:45 |
| Abhijit | bibi23, if you want to look for firefox proces you can also use top | grep fire | 15:45 |
| Abhijit | jrib, i wont find any option acalled -L or -l in man top? | 15:46 |
| jrib | Abhijit: just pressing L in top's interactive interface will let one search | 15:46 |
| Abhijit | ok | 15:47 |
| bibi23 | Abhijit: that's what I've tried first, but it didn't work, I don't think it's possible as top doesn't output anything to standard output, but it's kind of a program I guess | 15:47 |
| jrib | Abhijit: you can go to manpage section about "SEARCHING" | 15:47 |
| Abhijit | bibi23, i just tested it. it works here | 15:47 |
| Abhijit | jrib, ok. thanks | 15:47 |
| jrib | bibi23: maybe we should ask, what do you actually want to accomplish? | 15:47 |

| bibi23 | jrib: well I don't exactly know the full name but just a part of it | 15:50 |

| bibi23 | jrib: ah great I didn't know, I'm going to check the doc thx | 15:51 |
| jrib | bibi23: otherwise I would just use "ps -ef" instead of top and grep that output. Or if you want something interactive, you can use htop (it lets you select a row and kill it straight from htop) | 15:51 |
| jiffe98 | what's the difference between a normal boot sequence and booting after ubuntu froze during boot? the font seems to be a different size and I'm thinking that is contributing to why the second boot always works | 15:52 |
| bibi23 | jrib: I've just installed htop, I can filter and kill from here, that's perfect for a beginner like me, thx | 15:53 |
| === Argure is now known as Argure|AFK | ||
| jrib | bibi23: ok if you want more options... you might try "gnome-system-monitor" if you have a gui. And finally, if you're trying to click a graphical application, you can run "xkill" and then just click on the application | 15:54 |
| bibi23 | jrib: yes it was a graphical application, but usually when it doesn't respond and I try to close it, there is a window telling me do you want to quit it (IIRC it's called brute quit or force quit), here it didn't happen so I had to kill it through htop | 15:56 |

| Abhijit | lab, by trying to setup you mean you are trying to modify existing grub or want to restore lost grub? | 15:59 |
| lab | Abhijit, even if /dev/sdX is a windows partition? (I have deleted the linux partition on this drive, and now want to only boot windows) | 15:59 |

| lab | Abhijit, I tried that process (fixmbr from the windows Repair prompt), but it didn't seem to work. Everything is still definitely in tact though, because I have another drive that has the boot loader setup to boot the windows partition in question, and it still boots | 16:01 |

| b14d3 | Xotix: smbd is the right directory, if memory serves. It's not a shortcut, they just changed some of their local software infrastructure. | 16:02 |

| chipcash | I am currently running Ubuntu on a flash drive and want to know if I download something does it save it to the flash drive? | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | chipcash a live session? | 16:43 |
| chipcash | Live? | 16:43 |
| chipcash | sorry I am new to this | 16:44 |
| MonkeyDust | if it's a live session, it's saved until you reboot | 16:44 |
| chipcash | oic | 16:44 |
| chipcash | Is there ant way of saving files to the flash? | 16:44 |
| rumpe1 | chipcash, depends. If you created it with "persistence" it will store them on the drive i guess... somewhere.. | 16:44 |
| chipcash | What is persistance? | 16:45 |
| rumpe1 | chipcash, or just mount any other partition (that isn't a ramdisk) and save the file there | 16:45 |
| MonkeyDust | chipcash did you select 'try ubuntu' when you booted? | 16:45 |
| chipcash | yes | 16:45 |
| MonkeyDust | chipcash ok, then it's live and not saved on the flash drive | 16:46 |
| chipcash | I want to use the flash as my computer | 16:46 |
| rumpe1 | MonkeyDust, are you sure? | 16:46 |
| MonkeyDust | rumpe1 try it, you'll see, you can save it to some other place, tho | 16:47 |
| chipcash | If I select default will it save it? | 16:47 |
| chipcash | I guess I should get a cloud account | 16:47 |
| MonkeyDust | chipcash as rumpe1 said, guess you want 'persisent install' on the usb drive | 16:48 |
| kapz | hipitihop, I want to know if anyone is being asked for admin password in order to install updates through update manager | 16:48 |

| chipcash | thank you | 16:49 |
| kapz | MonkeyDust, but I am not being asked on my laptop, not even once! Is it safe? On the other hand on desktop I have to enter password everytime. | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | kapz two thoughts: 1- in a live session, the passowrd isnt asked 2- someone may have disabled the password for allt things apt | 16:51 |
| b14d3 | It's possible that the keyring is also allowing it access. I had mine set to do that when I used the gui | 16:52 |
| MonkeyDust | kapz and yes, the repos are safe (be careful if you install from outside the repos) | 16:52 |
| kapz | MonkeyDust, eliminate scenario no.1 and 2. I am the sole user. | 16:52 |
| kapz | oh okay that's what I wanted to know, thanks MonkeyDust :) | 16:53 |
| MonkeyDust | kapz then it's odd it shouldnt ask for a password | 16:53 |

| Hiro` | does the emacsclient command need to be installed somehow? there's no indication that this is necessary from the documentation, but it seems very odd that the shell oesn't recognise the command. it has a man page for it. | 17:16 |
| mysterious | jrib, :D nomodeset did the trick | 17:16 |
| jrib | mysterious: cool | 17:17 |
| jrib | Hiro`: I don't use emacs much, but I can tell you that I have emacsclient here. what does this return: ls /usr/bin/emacsclient* | 17:17 |
| Hiro` | jrib: it returns the following (in green text): "/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23" | 17:18 |
| jrib | Hiro`: interesting. When you do "hash -r" in your shell, followed by "emacslcient", what happens? | 17:19 |
| Hiro` | jrib: it returns: emacsclient: command not found | 17:20 |

| mindbreaker | i need help with configuring openvpn | 17:22 |
| jrib | Hiro`: the postinst script for emacs23-bin-common is supposed to setup an alternative for emacsclient. You seem to not have that for some reason even though you have /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23 | 17:23 |
| jrib | mindbreaker: you're more likely to get help if you just ask your actual question; if someone knows the answer they will try to help you | 17:24 |
| Hiro` | jrib: the shell returned invalid operation when I tried "reinstall", so I ran the same command but with "install" and it returned (a bunch of stuff but the main thing seems to be): emacs23-bin-common is already the newest version. | 17:26 |
| Hiro` | 17:26 | |

| dballester | hi to all, Ubuntu 12.04 32bits. As root I execute "update-rc.d -f mysql remove" but after reboot mysql is up and running automatically, anyone else aware of this strange behavior? | 17:28 |
| jrib | Hiro`: sorry, I meant: apt-get install --reinstall emacs23-bin-common | 17:28 |
| jrib | dballester: ubuntu uses upstart and mysql is an upstart script | 17:29 |
| jrib | !upstart | dballester | 17:29 |
| ubottu | dballester: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 17:29 |
| jrib | dballester: you can read about disabling services in upstart at: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files | 17:30 |
| dballester | ok, that means that we have a mix of old/new ways to manage the auto startup of "services"? | 17:30 |
| mindbreaker | okay, i configurated a vpn server (openvpn) that is behind a nat secure router, i already get a connection and i can also ping the server with client and the other way round too .. but i can't ping other hosts that are in the same vlan as the vpn server. im a newbie in vpn configuring and i hope someone is able to halp me :) | 17:30 |
| jrib | dballester: ideally, all the scripts would be converted to upstart now. Sadly, that is not the case, so yes you need to check if a script exists in /etc/init . If it does, then it's managed by upstart. | 17:30 |
| Dulcin | I'm hoping someone can help me here: I updated to 12.10, unity is not loading anymore and after logging in I only see my wallpaper. I have tried many tutorials online to fix it, from what I gathered my ATI (legacy) drivers are slow on updating and do not support xorg 1.13 yet, so I tried removing them, but the problem seems to remain. | 17:32 |

| neo1691 | Hello guys!! I just ran a package update on my ubuntu 12.04 x64 and now i have a new file manager (the old one is there too) If i have a mounted a removable drive, it shows in the sidepane but when i click on it to open it, the device is unmounted. Also I automounted my windows drive whenever ubuntu starts. Whenever i click on then in the sidepane, an error message pops up saying that only root can mount them. None of these issue happens with the old file | 17:36 |

| Sta1ker | rlsj99: what is it? | 17:53 |
| rlsj99 | Followed all directions, can't set static IP. Can you help? | 17:54 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: 12.1 or 12.04 | 17:54 |
| rlsj99 | 12.04.1 | 17:54 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: did you select manual in network manager and filled correct ip/subnet/gateway | 17:55 |
| rlsj99 | Yes. Problem there is at the end: "Save" is grayed out, tells me need to authenticate, but how? | 17:56 |
| fas | rlsj99: run as sudo | 17:56 |
| llutz | DarkSim: the MBR is the first sector of the first disk in system (/dev/sda most likely) | 17:56 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: is there a key button somewhere? | 17:57 |
| rlsj99 | You mean "gksudo" under a terminal? Tried that with nm-whatever, no dice. How do I invoke the terminal manager using sudo? | 17:57 |
| rlsj99 | No key button that I could see for authentication. | 17:57 |
| rlsj99 | network manager (sorry) | 17:58 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i don't know look at apt-file search network-manager | 17:59 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: the command to start networkmanager is 'NetworkManager' | 17:59 |
| rlsj99 | Do that with a terminal? | 17:59 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: yes. | 17:59 |
| rlsj99 | Will you be staying on-line? | 17:59 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: maybe you need to install it, sudo apt-get install apt-file | 17:59 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i think it's network-manager or gnome-network-manager | 18:00 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: so sudo gnome-network-manager | 18:01 |

| Sta1ker | rlsj99: because it's always running, it detects any network changes | 18:06 |

| Sta1ker | rlsj99: there should be a lock somewhere there, i don't run it on my system because that is the first first thing i remove after pulseaudio | 18:10 |
| Erin | Dougie187, are you stoned ? | 18:10 |
| fishcooker | i've problem with BT connection .. this is mine | 18:10 |

| almoxarife | the 'tool' offers an opt-out, so, its not exactly something big brother put in to get you! | 18:10 |
| Dougie187 | Erin: No. I typically read dates as MM/DD/YY. So, 12/12/07 looks like Dec 12 2007 to me. But thanks for asking. | 18:10 |
| janisozaur | how do i prevent aptd from running at startup? | 18:10 |
| Erin | almoxarife, is this 'tool' only present in unity? | 18:11 |
| almoxarife | Erin: no idea | 18:11 |
| rlsj99 | Sta1ker: But where's the lock? The reason I want to set a static IP is because Samba apparently needs it. The reason I want Samba is that the default networking software is strangely slow and intermittent for accessing Windows Networked machines. | 18:11 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: janisozaur i think it's in /etc/init , read about upstart jobs | 18:11 |
| Erin | almoxarife, it talks about it being present in 'dash' which is unity tigt ? | 18:11 |
| DarkSim | Why must Burg be such a gosh darn pain to install :/ | 18:11 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i've also removed network manager because i don't like programs taking to much control of things | 18:12 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i'll check for you | 18:13 |
| janisozaur | Sta1ker, "sudo grep -rnE \\\<aptd\\\> /etc/ 2> /dev/null" finds nothing | 18:14 |
| rlsj99 | 20 years ago I understood Linux (then Unix) at that level also, or so I thought. Of course it was simpler then. Now I have to putter with the graphical interfaces. When they don't work, it's question time. The whole problem, I think, is that none of the documentation uses consistent terminology. Just that one item you supplies, the command line name of the network manager, is impossible to find easily. | 18:14 |
| Sta1ker | janisozaur: i think it's started by d-bus | 18:15 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: thats exactly why i remove half of the things, we should start working on an vintage-linux distro | 18:16 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: the process name for networkmanager is 'NetworkManager' , the applet is 'nm', and if you dont want it , do a 'sudo apt-get purge networkmanager' | 18:17 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: exactly as almoxarife says | 18:17 |
| rlsj99 | Thanks, but the trouble is I can't seem to make the alternative work as well as NM. What we need, I think, is a replacement for the Unix legacy setups, especially X-terminal, and start with a new GUI having a streamlined underpinning. | 18:18 |
| mindbreaker | does anyone know where i can ask for openvpn issues? | 18:19 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: they're working on weyland now it's a complete new desktop or something similar | 18:19 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: a sane alternative is 'wicd' , but if you are hardwired you dont need any of it | 18:20 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: what is wrong with the manual side of things without nm? | 18:20 |
| chisholm | Has anyone run into this problem: "LZMA data corruption trigger to kernel panic", when trying to boot from the live cd either cdrom or usb? | 18:20 |
| rlsj99 | But if it's still based on X-terminal it won't really be better -- as soon as you need something a little less popular. Can you recommend anyone who has Ubuntu working well with a home LAN? | 18:20 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: i have home lan, works fine | 18:21 |
| janisozaur | !openvpn | mindbreaker | 18:21 |
| ubottu | mindbreaker: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 18:21 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i get everything working with pull and wifi radar | 18:21 |
| rlsj99 | almoxareife: Do any of the other machines on your network run a Windows OS? | 18:22 |
| === Apocalipstick is now known as shojo | ||
| Sta1ker | gnuradio halts on test number 54 does anybody knows why? | 18:24 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: they do by proxy, a server runs win7 via vbox, works fine too, your issues is with the router, assign the mac's to internal ip, lazy mans static | 18:24 |
| DarkSim | There we go, finally fixed my burg, hopefully it works now when I reboot | 18:24 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: type 'almo' hit tab, life should be simpler | 18:25 |
| rlsj99 | almoxarife: Yeah, I know about MAC-address security in the router, use it myself for the WiFi stull like smartphones and tablets. But here I'm talking about a new Ubuntu installation on an i386 machine, connected by Ethernet cable. | 18:25 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: does this machine get ip from router via dhcp? bet it does | 18:26 |
| rlsj99 | It does now. I've been trying for several hours to install static IP. None of the directions work for that either. | 18:27 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: i remember that static ip was not my problem with nm(and my network is completely static) it was dns stuff that made me remove nm | 18:27 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: i dont see where the issue is, you know how to set static at the router and at the machine | 18:28 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: you can make #service network-manager stop | 18:28 |
| rlsj99 | Sta1ker: DNS works fine, along with Internet access, with DHCP. It's the local area network that is intolerable. | 18:28 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: then try to run it again | 18:28 |
| grandMaster | Hola! | 18:28 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: my network is completely custom and nm couldn't figure out what's going on | 18:29 |
| puff | I upgraded my thinkpad t520 w/nvidia/optimus from 11.10 to 12.4 using the software updates dialog. After several hours, the dialog said something like 27 minutes left. Then it popped up a message about not being able to configure dmsetup. Before I could fully read it, the screen went blank/black. No GUI, no virtual terminals. I let it sit for a couple hours more while I went out, in case it was still finishing those last 27 | 18:29 |
| puff | minutes. When I got back, still blank, so I held down power button to force shutdown and reboot. It says there's a crash report, there's a crash report icon on the menu bar, but clicking it doesn't do anything. Software updates doesn't show any updates needed. How do I check to see if something went wrong and needs to be fixed? | 18:29 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: the router is that thing that manages the local network, i really dont get what you are so confused about | 18:29 |
| nonkn4mer | has anybody set up a linux font server to serve fonts to a mac/pc blended environment? | 18:29 |
| rlsj99 | almoxarife: (thanks for Tab tip) It's not an access issue at the router. This is a _wired_ connection, no security involved. | 18:30 |
| rlsj99 | almoxarife: As I told Sta1ker, the only reason I want static is because Samba requires it, Samba in hopes it will work better than NM. | 18:31 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: i didnt mention security, STATIC ip is as easy as a DHCP reservation at the ROUTER! | 18:31 |
| Sta1ker | rlsj99: did you try to login as root to ubuntu | 18:31 |
| puff | tl;dr - my laptop appears to have crashed while upgrading from 11.10 to 12.4, what do I do now? | 18:31 |
| v0lksman | is there any reason when using Gnome Classic in 12.04 Desktop I can't right click on any panel and modify it? | 18:31 |
| almoxarife | rlsj99: you are talking in circles now, good luck | 18:31 |
| Sta1ker | v0lksman: because it's gnome 3 | 18:32 |
| rlsj99 | Sta1ker: Oh, boy, root is another can of worms. I can't seem to get anything to work according to Ubuntu directions on the web. | 18:32 |
| puff | almoxarife: static at the router? | 18:32 |
| puff | rlsj99: Back up a step, what are you trying to do? | 18:32 |
| almoxarife | puff: mac reservation by router, yes, mine does | 18:32 |
| v0lksman | Sta1ker: is there a new tool then? | 18:33 |
| Erin | +++++++++++++ | 18:33 |
| Sta1ker | v0lksman: i don't know maybe gsettings or gconftool | 18:34 |
| rlsj99 | Original problem (otherwise new Ubuntu is great): Trying to access machines on my local network from the new Ubuntu installation (Acer portable, did run Windows Vista with slick networking), is incredibly slow and intermittent. Four or five cycles of trying to display contents of a remote folder under "Browse Network" you might get the show and you might only get another timeout. Intolerable! | 18:34 |

| rlsj99 | puff: Right, wired. The hardware worked day before yesterday under Vista. I thought I should switch to Samba, but immediately became mired in the inability to set a static IP for this macine. | 18:37 |
| Erin | puff, it has advantages though. I've been running it at my house for some time now. Its effective when certain hardware needs to keep a certain address but other stuff comes and goes. Like my computers all keep the same ip's but when my friends bring stuff over they can automatically get an IP without me having to deal with finding them one. | 18:37 |

| phunyguy_work | Stalker, I understand that, but I haven't found one thign that doesnt work yet after clicking that button in Unity, so I was looking to see what the button did. | 18:46 |
| Daxter | oh | 18:46 |
| Dulcin | I'm on ubuntu 12.10, I have removed ATI propriety drivers and installed the open source ones, but still unity is not loading - can anyone help me with this? | 18:46 |
| phunyguy_work | KDE doesnt have a button like that. | 18:46 |
| Erin | we just told him to google which also has the info 10M times over | 18:46 |
| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: maybe in gsettings? | 18:47 |
| Erin | hell he could look at his own /etc/fstab and simply copy + paste the line for / and edit it to his needs lol. | 18:47 |
| Erin | thats how I learned the first time | 18:47 |
| phunyguy_work | Stalker, I doubt it. It modifies configs also. | 18:47 |
| IdleOne | bulletrulz: come to #ubuntu-ops for a moment please | 18:47 |
| phunyguy_work | I dont wanna know what is stored in gsettings, I want to know what it is /actually/ doing. | 18:47 |
| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: try #gsettings list-recursively | grep -i proxy | 18:47 |
| phunyguy_work | Stalker, that information is not useful. | 18:48 |
| phunyguy_work | I want to know what the DAEMON that monitors those settings does WITH the settings. | 18:48 |

| phunyguy_work | get what I mean? | 18:49 |
| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: i was also looking for those variables a couple of weeks ago, when i run privoxy, vuze automaticaly tries connecting through it and i couldn't find why | 18:49 |
| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: i get you | 18:50 |
| phunyguy_work | and I dont want to just route all traffic through the tunnel because I still need to access things locally in some spots. I just want my browsing encrypted, etc. | 18:50 |

| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: setup privoxy to always connect to your proxy and set a quick proxy button in your browser | 18:51 |
| phunyguy_work | when away I want it to proxy. thats all. | 18:51 |
| Sta1ker | phunyguy_work: that is what i'm doing | 18:52 |
| kelvinella | and what is playon? is it better than wine? | 18:52 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | xD | 18:59 |
| phunyguy_work | Stalker - fair enough. I just want to find out if there is anything else, and how to reload settings after the variable change to make it all start working for the entire system. | 18:59 |

| diego | i love hybride evolution | 19:09 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | ubuntu 12.10 audio output keeps changing from analog output built in audio to headphone built in audio | 19:10 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, blame #pulseaudio | 19:11 |
| ikonia | hang on | 19:11 |
| ikonia | you can't say that | 19:11 |
| |Anthony| | lol | 19:11 |
| ikonia | I don't find that funny | 19:11 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| : what is the work around | 19:11 |
| ikonia | you've not even got the problem | 19:11 |
| ikonia | or solution | 19:11 |
| ikonia | let alone the work around | 19:12 |
| |Anthony| | honestly i meant no serious offense. More sarcasm and personal grumbles with past experiences | 19:12 |
| kostkon | |Anthony|, not really. that's a driver issue, an alsa one | 19:12 |
| |Anthony| | i apologize | 19:12 |
| kostkon | :P | 19:12 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | remove pulseaudio and use alsa | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | pulse is a pile of crap | 19:13 |
| |Anthony| | ^ i see im not alone with prior experience | 19:13 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: please be quiet unless you actually have something useful to add | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | in my experience anyhow | 19:13 |
| ikonia | this isn't your experience | 19:13 |
| ikonia | this is help the guy with HIS problem | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | yes it is | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | oh sorry | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i thought you meant something else ^^ | 19:13 |
| ikonia | rather than just randomly blame pulse as you've had a bad experience | 19:13 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | When I log into my ubuntu session, the window manager isnt loaded on startup, I get this in my ~/.xsession-errors: www.pastie.org/5495187 | 19:14 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia: sorry :) | 19:14 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, it *could* potentially be a hardware issue. it should only switch on jack detection. So it's possible that the hardware is having a "fluctuation" | 19:16 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | how to switch over from pulse audio to alsa | 19:16 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, have you tested with a different os on the same machine? | 19:16 |
| kostkon | Mukhthar_Ahmed, you are already using alsa | 19:16 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | kostkon: but if he has pulse, it will be going through that too | 19:16 |
| |Anthony| | pulseaudio is a sort of layer on top of alsa | 19:16 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| yup windows works fine, live cd works fine | 19:16 |
| kostkon | WhereIsMySpoon, yes | 19:16 |
| |Anthony| | so this is an issue of spontaneous jack detection | 19:17 |
| wN | it don't know jack | 19:17 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | lol | 19:17 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i dont see how this can be a hardware issue | 19:17 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| i am sure its not the jack issue | 19:17 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | especially now he said it works fine on windows and a live cd | 19:18 |
| |Anthony| | is it randomly doing this while you are running? or only between boots | 19:18 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| i just downloaded a video file and works fine so the issue is not with all the files | 19:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | that doesnt mean it has anything to do with files | 19:18 |
| aramudi | No handlers could be found for logger "e3.common.Config" | 19:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it could just be temperamental | 19:18 |
| |Anthony| | jack detection does not mean hardware issues. jack detection is when you plug something in, a signal is sent saying "hey, theres something in here" | 19:18 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| audio is not working on virtual machine too | 19:19 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, separate issue | 19:19 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | okay | 19:19 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | aramudi: is there a question there? if so, please elaborate | 19:19 |
| godbod | Hello everyone. I have a question concerning the xconsole in ubuntu. Why /dev/xconsole doesn't exits ? And how can I solve this problem ? Ex. of what I want to do : xconsole -f /dev/xconsole & | 19:19 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, does the issue present only when you reboot the computer, or during active use | 19:19 |
| aramudi | emese opening from the command window | 19:20 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| all the time | 19:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | aramudi: https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/464 https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/283 | 19:20 |
| pranith | !xconsole | 19:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | aramudi: https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/934 | 19:20 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | installed vlc and had no sound | 19:20 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i personally would suggest purging pulseaudio and seeing if its better just not having it, as that's how my experience panned out | 19:21 |
| |Anthony| | Mukhthar_Ahmed, pulseaudio employs some "magic" and remembers your usage history. It is possible that it is using the headphone jack for some applications because you had chosen to do this i nthe past | 19:21 |
| |Anthony| | i agree with WhereIsMySpoon on that | 19:21 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | changed the audio output from default to alsa there is sound but again keeps changing from audio out built in to headphones built in | 19:21 |
| aramudi | when I open the window and I connect emesene desapareze window and sends me error that command in Terminal. | 19:21 |
| ikonia | have you got ANY reason to suspect this is pulse ? | 19:22 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | |Anthony| how to clear the history | 19:22 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | aramudi: are you using 2.11.11? | 19:22 |
| godbod | Hello everyone. I have a question concerning the xconsole in ubuntu. Why /dev/xconsole doesn't exits ? And how can I solve this problem ? Ex. of what I want to do : xconsole -f /dev/xconsole & | 19:22 |
| ikonia | godbod: it should be created by udev | 19:23 |
| ikonia | however I don't know what "xconsole" actually is as a device node | 19:23 |
| |Anthony| | ikonia, pulse is suspected over alsa ALWAYS. bottom line pulse tries to fix issue that don't exist and in turn creates more | 19:23 |
| |Anthony| | yes, i said it | 19:23 |
| ikonia | |Anthony|: no, sorry that's just nonsense | 19:23 |
| |Anthony| | it's really not though. do your homework on the subject. | 19:24 |
| ikonia | |Anthony|: it really is | 19:24 |
| ikonia | even if pulise is a more common problem than alsa, just stating "remove pulse" is unacceptable | 19:24 |
| aramudi | nose that version, I can see how emesene version I have installed? | 19:24 |
| ikonia | you have no reason beyond you've had a bad experience to suggest that | 19:25 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia: reinstalling ubuntu is a common response by ops and voices here for issues, why not a simple package reinstall? | 19:25 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: no it's not | 19:25 |
| ikonia | and if it is, it's not just a random "re-install ubuntu" | 19:25 |
| ikonia | there is normally a technical reason for it | 19:26 |
| ikonia | you're just saying "try this random package" | 19:26 |
| MadsRC | I've got an old Fujitsu Siemens laptop where wifi only works if I blacklist "acer-wmi". But sometimes when I boot wireless doesn't work again, and I have to delist "acer-wmi" from modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, reboot, blacklist it agian and reboot... Anyone know why this keeps happening? | 19:26 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | besides, its not as if you purge it you can never have it again | 19:26 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: no, but it is intergrated, so removing it for no reason does not seem a sane approach | 19:26 |
| openboxman | Got my nexus 4 phone running irc :) . with straight talk unlimited for 60 bucks. Speednet clocked at 8 mb download. | 19:26 |
| |Anthony| | i'm not suggesting to "remove" pulse. I am suggesting, however, that a remove and reinstall will eliminate the possibility that pulse is the culprit. After it is re-installed (having all of the magic settings files removed) the problem still persist, we can move on to driver and alsa testing | 19:26 |
| HumanBeing | (offtopic) Propably you already know it: http://goo.gl/kyuO7 | 19:26 |
| ikonia | if there is something pointing at this being pulise, I can see your point | 19:26 |
| ikonia | HumanBeing: don't post it then | 19:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ikonia: if pulse is removed and the problem still exists, its alsa | 19:27 |
| jrib | |Anthony|: there's some relevant discussion here: http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/apbs03.html#tab:mask | 19:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | you can diagnose which is the problem | 19:27 |
| ikonia | WhereIsMySpoon: if pulse is remove it doesn't mean alsa is the problem | 19:27 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | |Anthony|: xubuntu | 19:36 |
| |Anthony| | mmm | 19:36 |
| myhero | is there any difference between installing xubuntu and installing xfce on ubuntu ? | 19:37 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: xfce is the window manager, xubuntu is a distro | 19:37 |
| |Anthony| | does it failsafe to busybox | 19:37 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: you can use xfce on debian, for example | 19:37 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | |Anthony|: no, i just get a gui wit no window managwer | 19:37 |
| |Anthony| | oh that's fun | 19:37 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | but i have to do that every time | 19:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | which is annoying | 19:38 |
| myhero | WhereIsMySpoon: but xfce contains all the xubuntu apps so its like a full xubuntu session so like a single session xubuntu ? | 19:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: xubuntu comes with a lot less bloat | 19:38 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | |Anthony|: actually ive done zippo tweaking | 19:39 |
| |Anthony| | so purge it | 19:39 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i liek it as it is | 19:39 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | t432: if maven 3 is a different package, then no ofc not | 19:46 |
| t432 | how would i do it? | 19:46 |
| t432 | install in seperately? | 19:47 |
| t432 | it* | 19:47 |
| b14d3 | t432: You'd have to uninstall and install seperately, yes | 19:47 |
| diverdude | fas, and how do i restart it again? | 19:47 |
| myhero | WhereIsMySpoon: thats it.....just apt-get -h and then output segmentation fault | 19:47 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: might be a corrupted apt cache | 19:47 |
| myhero | WhereIsMySpoon: how to fix it ? | 19:47 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin | 19:47 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | make a backup | 19:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i dunno how useful apt caches are | 19:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but always make backup before you delete system files | 19:48 |
| bekks | Those arent system files at all. | 19:48 |
| myhero | ok....how to make backup ? | 19:48 |
| hashiish | I loved Ubuntu while I tried it. Never had a problem and so easy to use | 19:48 |
| myhero | cp ? | 19:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: ye | 19:48 |
| myhero | k | 19:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | bekks: apt is a system tool | 19:48 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | bekks: i just meant files that are used by system tools | 19:49 |
| bekks | WhereIsMySpoon: Then never delete any files, since they are allon your system ;) | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | bekks: always make backups before you delete? sure | 19:49 |
| bekks | /var/cache/apt is a cache - and safe to remove. | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | sounds good to me | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | bekks: thats what i thought | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i was just being catious | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | cautious* | 19:49 |
| bekks | Or even use apt-get clean | 19:49 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i dont like apt just giving "seg fault" if the cache is corrupted tho xD | 19:50 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it should give some sort of useful error message :p | 19:50 |
| Hanumaan | what is the problem in this apt-get source ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1417512/ | 19:50 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero: pastebin the output | 19:51 |
| bekks | Hanumaan: The fact that the selected mirror denies access. | 19:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Hanumaan: you're forbidden from accessing those resources | 19:51 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Hanumaan: try a different mirror | 19:51 |

| bekks | Hanumaan: Just select another mirror on synaptic, e.g. | 19:53 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | Hanumaan: it tells you in that output what mirror to use | 19:53 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | just change it in sources.list | 19:53 |

| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: ok | 20:09 |
| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: i thought apt is a system area and thus write protected thatsy i did it sudo | 20:10 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: you're creating a backup folder in ~/blah - ~ is shorthand for the default user directory | 20:11 |
| diverdude | fas, and how do i restart it again? | 20:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: if you were doing mkdir in /etc or wherever, you'd need sudo | 20:11 |
| myhero_ | yea...my bad....i thought the same reason for a user directory | 20:11 |

| IveBeenBit | I have a quick question. I'm trying to give Ubuntu a fair shake, so a few months ago I installed it onto a bootable USB drive to familiarize myself with it. My computer has 4 hard drives on "fake RAID" (Intel Motherboard). 2 drives are striped and 2 are mirrored. In any event, I could not get Ubuntu 12.04 to read any files on the hard drives. I had an ubuntu whizz try to fix it for about 45 minutes, but he eventually gave up in frus | 20:17 |
| IveBeenBit | insulting my choice of hard drive configuration - telling me that it's "fake RAID" and "stupid." Have the problems with mobo-based RAID arrays been fixed for Ubuntu 12.10? | 20:17 |

| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: is it trace or strace....i wrote strace | 20:18 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: strace | 20:18 |
| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: same thing....segmentation fault | 20:18 |

| fas | not sure if that's what you were looking for or not | 20:19 |
| je_ | je | 20:19 |
| bekks | IveBeenBit: There is nothing to be fixed, since thats no RAID usable in Ubuntu. | 20:19 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: i need the output of that strace command | 20:19 |
| IveBeenBit | bekks: This saddens me, but thanks for clearing up that they do not intend to support that configuration. | 20:20 |
| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: is it possible that live usb got disturbed and lost contact with system thatsy its happening ? ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ strace mkdir ~/mydir Segmentation fault | 20:20 |
| bekks | IveBeenBit: There is nothingto be supported, since that RAID configuration is designed to be supported by Windows only. | 20:20 |

| myhero_ | kk :) still better then me :) | 20:25 |
| myhero_ | anyways back to work.....what to do with seg fault ? | 20:25 |
| bekks | myhero_: What did you before that happened?= | 20:25 |
| myhero_ | bekks: i was seting up openssh-server....and it was fine until i had a weird thing with it.....i changed the default port from 22 to 2222 for testing and it was fine until i reverted back the port from 2222 to 22 but now the problem came .....the android was still connecting over port 2222 but not port 22 and currently its connecting over both 2222 and 22 ports | 20:27 |
| b14d3 | WhereIsMySpoon: It's slightly offtopic, so would I be able to PM you a question not directly related to Ubuntu support? | 20:27 |
| myhero_ | WhereIsMySpoon: plz read ^^ | 20:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | b14d3: sure | 20:28 |
| bekks | myhero_: That willnot affect a system in any way causing segfaults. | 20:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: i dont see how that results in segfaults | 20:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | you've done something seriously messedup | 20:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | messed up* | 20:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and since its a live cd i would just re-download an iso and re-burn it onto a new cd | 20:28 |
| myhero_ | bekks: WhereIsMySpoon idk but that was it....i m on live usb 12.10 and there is nothing else on session | 20:28 |
| bekks | myhero_: Then just reboot, since it ius a liveusb only. | 20:29 |
| === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia | ||
| myhero_ | bekks: WhereIsMySpoon yea i have the last resort for reboot and thats the reason why i try 1st on live coz ubuntu is very unstable anything weird or just any wrong key press and hell | 20:30 |
| bekks | myhero_: Why dont you just reboot, when being on a liveusb? | 20:30 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ubuntu is not "very unstable" | 20:30 |
| nopf | hi. am i the only one getting a 12.04 iso when following the normal ubuntu.com...download...-clickstream? | 20:30 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ubuntu is quite stable, especially if you dont install any ppas | 20:31 |
| bekks | nopf: What did you expect? | 20:31 |
| myhero_ | bekks: but thats running away and i wanna learn troubleshooting which helps on installed os | 20:31 |
| nopf | bekks: a 12.10? | 20:31 |
| bekks | myhero_: It has nothing to do with debugging. Its a liveusb, not a productive system. Wasted time to debug it. | 20:31 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ^ | 20:32 |
| myhero_ | bekks: commands are same.... | 20:32 |
| whtemple1959 | hello, | 20:32 |
| bekks | myhero_: And still the time is wasted. | 20:32 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | myhero_: what we're saying is that a live cd is not a proper install and there's no point debugging it really until you actually install ubuntu properly | 20:32 |
| whtemple1959 | so I am basically new to Ubuntu and I need help finding an application | 20:32 |
| myhero_ | bekks: i know....but when something goes wrong on a dependent system then its nightmare | 20:32 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | whtemple1959: are you using unity? | 20:33 |

| myhero_ | bekks: i appreciate ur time invested till now | 20:34 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | whtemple1959: also, i suggest you use 12.04 or 12.10 as your first ubuntu install rather than an old version | 20:34 |
| mindbreaker | i guess i have to install a nvidea driver but there are errors when i want to install additionl drivers | 20:34 |

| kike_ | Hi all | 21:01 |
| padmick | sorry tozen what u mean? | 21:01 |
| sanaking | I'm having trouble finding good lit online about how to work with LVM+FDE on Ubuntu, are there any resources out there? | 21:02 |
| sanaking | Specifically I'm unclear on how to resize partitions (I can't seem to boot of the install CD as well is the other kink) | 21:02 |
| bekks | sanaking: Whats "FDE"? | 21:02 |
| tozen | padmick: i mean you're usb is fault/dead/gone 4 ever | 21:02 |

| kike_ | I need some help with 7z (or better idea) to uncompress a lot of zip files, each one must be uncompressed to a different folder. | 21:03 |
| kike_ | every zip file is in the same folder. by the way | 21:04 |
| sanaking | I mean, I can boot off the install, but.. i don't know how I managed to install, as graphics are all messed up | 21:04 |
| padmick | ok thanks guys | 21:04 |
| tozen | padmick:u r welcome | 21:04 |
| sanaking | (the same was true with the installed ver on my HDD) aside: I'm unclear why there doesn't seem to be much work on fixing the graphics issues on ubuntu, my net searching reveals _many_ who are unable to use ubuntu due to graphics card issues | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: depends on the gpu | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: you will get issues if you use optimus and similar | 21:06 |
| kike_ | ATI 4xxx owners like me are a little bit angry about graphichs too | 21:06 |
| tozen | gals any ideas to how to see my intel gpu in conky? | 21:07 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: ? Is that a reply to my lament that with each successive ubuntu release less people are able to use it? | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kike_: there is a PPA with a legacy driver for 2xxx to 4xxx to make the latest Xorg work (in 12.10) | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: its entierely dependant on hardware, its super individual | 21:07 |
| kike_ | tried, didn't work and don't really know why | 21:07 |
| sanaking | I posted that i finally got ubuntu working on my graphics card, and a friend reply "congrats! I've been trying for over a month" | 21:07 |
| kike_ | twice i lost graphic environment :( | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | kike_: is it ok in 12.04? | 21:08 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: your statement has no relation to mine. Ubuntu 10 and earlier all worked fine on my hardware. I couldn't get 12 to display anything useful on the screen. That's an issue that needs to be addressed, and has nothing to do with me | 21:08 |
| kike_ | did'n try | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: did you try mutiple desktop environments? | 21:09 |
| kike_ | last LTS worked just fine | 21:09 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: I couldn't even login | 21:09 |
| kike_ | i've seen a manual that i'm trying to understand before I try | 21:09 |
| sanaking | Oh I tried light and kdm yeah | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: you can press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there | 21:09 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: nope, the graphics there were screwed up too. | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: that won't change the session once you log in, changing the DM doesn't make a huge amount of difference | 21:10 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: exactly | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: ok, then did you try kubuntu or xubuntu? | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: the DM is not the DE | 21:10 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: exactly, that's why i said i couldn't even login, so i didn't even have a chance to try different DEs | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: but you can use the different install medias to install them by default | 21:11 |

| kike_ | any idea about how to uncompress a lot of zip files (all in the same folder) to a different folder each one? | 21:12 |
| sanaking | I'm confused at how I was able to install at all, now trying to boot Ubuntu/Kubuntu/GNOMEbuntu all seem to have graphics issues making them unusable. hmm. | 21:12 |
| sanaking | anyways, so it sounds like nobody knows where i can find resources to learn about using LVM+FDE effectively | 21:12 |
| almoxarife | sanaking: be so kind as to share via pastebin, /var/log/syslog and Xorg.0.log | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: boot to the kubuntu installCD and run through the install method, just like you would with ubuntu | 21:12 |

| ATAKAN | mrb | 21:13 |

| sanaking | almoxarife: after days of work i managed to turn off nouveau and install nvidia-current, and am booted fine now, but would like to resize my partitions | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: the newer releases use compiz, if your gpu isn't up to the task it will offload to the cpu. | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: basically, all you have tested is Gnome desktop. I suggest you try the others then form an opinion. You don't have to use gnome | 21:14 |
| DDAZZA | Simple question: when running the time command. What is real/user/sys? | 21:14 |
| almoxarife | sanaking: be so kind as to share via pastebin, /var/log/syslog and Xorg.0.log <-- nevermind on this, 'gparted' for resize a partition works great for me | 21:14 |
| sanaking | ActionParsnip: basically I've not even gotten to the GNOME desktop. | 21:14 |
| sanaking | almoxarife: not with LVM | 21:14 |
| almoxarife | sanaking: correct | 21:14 |
| kike_ | I installed cynnamon after breaking my graphics and it's cool, now I like it a lot | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: then try a different desktop, you can use xubuntu which needs zero 3d accelleration and I bet it runs just fine | 21:15 |
| auronandace | kike_: cinnamon isn't supported here | 21:15 |
| kike_ | i'm sure | 21:15 |
| sanaking | would i be able to resize my encrypted partitions from the xubuntu 12.10 dvd? | 21:16 |
| sanaking | (or cd whatever) | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: it has all the same stuff available as the ubuntu cd, so i'd imagine so, yes | 21:16 |
| sanaking | I don't know if the ubuntu CD can do that | 21:16 |
| auronandace | sanaking: i thought the whole point of using lvm was so you didn't have to worry about partition sizes | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sanaking: if the tools ar ein the repos and you have web access, there is nothing stopping you installing the apps (except ram space to hold the app itself) | 21:17 |
| wN | auronandace: lvm doesn't care about partition sizes. it puts them all devices into a single pool and works from that | 21:18 |

| wN | sanaking: perhaps you should ask in #lvm if you have lvm specific questions. | 21:20 |

| ActionParsnip | ajp: if you add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, it will run as root before the desktop shows | 21:46 |

| dotty_ | However, there is 2 shared folder, both pointing to the same place. I have "homes" and "kevin", both going to the same place. | 22:03 |

| dotty_ | The question is, how do i remove the "homes" folder. | 22:04 |
| === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off | ||
| bekks | dotty_: You have to edit the samba configuration file and restart samba, for removing the generic homes share. | 22:05 |
| doost | I don't know what to do, it doesn't recognize the disc, and with the usb, it keeps restarting | 22:05 |
| b14d3 | dotty_: If memory serves, edit /etc/init.d/smbd/smbd.conf, you can google the documentation on it, it's very straightfoward. | 22:05 |

| srhb | I don't really know. I had to whip out a custom script to deal with internet sharing over wifi, that might have made things worse. | 22:11 |
| dotty_ | Nah, i understand that. I want to share my home folder, but the issue was that on OS X both "kevin" and "homes" was coming up, both pointing to the same folder. | 22:11 |

| almoxarife | myst3rious: arch? one question, does it do anything any other distro cant? | 22:24 |
| Erin | guntbert, really? he asked a question about LINUX i answered it, yes it was not *ubuntu* but can you possibly just be cool for one minute lol ? | 22:24 |
| k1l | Erin: we have #ubuntu-offtopic and even ##linux for that :) so keep this for ubuntu support, please | 22:25 |

| Erin | .... | 22:25 |
| myst3rious | alright. new install is up and running. now let's hope I don't screw it up again | 22:25 |
| guntbert | Erin: that has nothing to do with "being cool" - just read your last 5-6 comments | 22:25 |
| Erin | so lets figure this out, my two lines or 20+ lines of 2 people linking me the same thing ? | 22:26 |
| Erin | and i'm supposed to join #offtopic every time someone asks for a different linux variant ? | 22:26 |
| drthodt | hey if im on 64bit windows will wubi install 64bit | 22:26 |
| k1l | Erin: please stop to discuss this here. the point is made, please see the guidelines | 22:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Erin, that isn't exactly a support question | 22:26 |
| almoxarife | Erin: not to worry, when the chat goes off into #bash or #apache, pounce! | 22:26 |
| guntbert | Erin: you are supposed to keep your comments *here* strictly to ubuntu support | 22:26 |
| Erin | i'm done coming here | 22:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: Yes | 22:27 |
| Erin | problem solved | 22:27 |
| * SonikkuAmerica sighs | 22:27 | |
| almoxarife | oh dear | 22:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: Yes, you can. Depends, you want 32- or 64-bit Ubuntu installed? | 22:27 |
| k1l | drthodt: you are sure you want wubi and not a real installation? | 22:28 |
| almoxarife | drthodt: its a 64bit machine, thats what matters | 22:28 |
| * dr_willis advises running away from wubi. | 22:28 | |
| drthodt | I want 64bit | 22:28 |
| drthodt | compiles mah droid jellybeans | 22:28 |
| ccolorado | hi, in an attept to clone a 16 GB SD card to a 32 GB card I ended up with a 16 GB partion on the new card, 'mount -l' says its a 16 GB partition while 'cfdisk' say its a 32 GB. I clonned the SD with dd. | 22:28 |
| almoxarife | drthodt: so install via the 64bit iso | 22:28 |
| drthodt | doesnt wubi use the nt bootloader? | 22:28 |
| ccolorado | Any idea why cfdisk reporst a bigger size ? | 22:28 |
| drthodt | the installer | 22:28 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: because that's the "device" but you've cloned the partition table which will be 16gb | 22:29 |
| drthodt | i want to bitlock my windows 8 and dualboot lts | 22:29 |
| dr_willis | ccolorado: use gparted to resize the 16bg partion to fill up th rest of the sd. or make a 2nd partion | 22:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | almoxarife, drthodt: To install INSIDE Windows, type in "<parent>\wubi.exe --force-wubi" | 22:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: where <parent> is wherever the Wubi exe is at | 22:29 |
| ikonia | you don't want to install insidde a bitlocked NTFS file system | 22:30 |
| almoxarife | SonikkuAmerica: used wubi for years, thats how i figured out i had a 64bit system | 22:30 |
| drthodt | yeah I dont want to do that | 22:30 |
| drthodt | i want it on its own partition | 22:30 |
| drthodt | using nt bootloader | 22:30 |
| drthodt | so i can bitlock windows | 22:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: Unless you're using Windows 7/8 there's no way to do that... | 22:30 |
| kg | OK, so what's the best way to actually learn linux and not just use linux? I dont lrarn anything real about linux by writing ordninary desktop apps for it and i dont learn anything by usin g it as i use windows. how do i learn linux for real? write a bootloader? | 22:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: Just saying | 22:31 |
| drthodt | im on win8 | 22:31 |
| auronandace | kg: a question better asked in ##linux | 22:31 |
| almoxarife | ikonia: will wubi refuse to install ubuntu within this bitlocked ntfs? or is it a user option? | 22:31 |
| ikonia | almoxarife: it won't know, but think about it, windows is used to decypt it, so upon rebooting..... | 22:32 |
| gregor3005 | how can i transfer the ubuntu installations iso to an usb stick so it boots on my laptop that boot only from uefi devices? | 22:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Where'd kg go? | 22:33 |
| dr_willis | gregor3005: the normal tools to make a bootable usb from iso - should handle that. Or use 'dd' to image the iso directly to usb. | 22:33 |
| almoxarife | ikonia: i just dont want to give someone bad advice, about installing wubi, i dont have a win8 to play with to know any better | 22:33 |
| gregor3005 | dr_willis: ok i try "dd if=./dvd.iso of=/dev/sde"? | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | gregor3005: thats the core of it yes. | 22:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drthodt: Try this page, it uses EasyBCD to configure an install like the one you mentioned: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-the-windows-bootloader-to-dual-boot-windows-vista-and-ubuntu.html | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | gregor3005: giving a BS= option may speed it up. ;) | 22:34 |

| freedomrun | is there a way to enable minimise on click function in ubuntu 12.10 Unity??! | 22:34 |
| dr_willis | freedomrun: theres some unofficial unity patches for that. | 22:34 |
| ccolorado | ikonia: how should i have coned just the content of the partition ? dd if=/dev/sdb1, dd if=/dev/sdb, or something else ? ( given i want to presever dates and stuff like that ) | 22:34 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: dd is not the tool | 22:35 |
| freedomrun | dr_willis, for 12.10 Unity also? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: there are tools such as clonezilla, or simple "copy the data" onto the new disk | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | freedomrun: last i looked they mentioned 12.10 - i dont use the patch. saw it mentione don webupd8 or omgubuntu sites | 22:35 |

| gregor3005 | dr_willis: thx i try it | 22:36 |
| ccolorado | ikonia: what confuses me a lot is cfdisk saying that sdb1 is 32 GB ( not sdb ) | 22:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ccolorado, ikonia: Is that not the partition size? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: the physical partiton probably is 32bit, but you've copied the 16GB partition table | 22:38 |

| MaynardW1ters | hey guys, I have a 5 disk raid array on 11.04 and something got updated and now its not automounting. I can see the multidisk devie. but it does not want to mount ive tried a number of mdadm commands and it appears that it knows there is a md device, but doesnt want to make it active... any suggestions are welcome | 22:41 |
| ikonia | mgolisch: there is no right channel as they have not released any info on it yet | 22:41 |
| fjk | hm | 22:42 |
| mgolisch | ikonia: so its just marketing buzz? | 22:42 |
| ikonia | mgolisch: well, no, but there is no info on it and hasn't been since the first marketing push | 22:42 |
| ikonia | mgolisch: I'm sure it's being worked on, but there is nothing known | 22:42 |
| mgolisch | too bad | 22:42 |

| abizrcmplx | hello everyone! i thought id give this a try and ask a quick question. id appreciate any help. i installed Lubuntu 12.10 with the mini iso and all works fine except video playback. totem seems to be the only player that will work but i have to keep the size very small so it doesnt skip. playing videos in the browser is no issue at all. im not sure if its a matter of installing a certain codec or that perhaps its somethimg more lik | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | I want android on ubuntu. :) so i can run my android stuff on my Ubuntu desktop. ;P | 22:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dr_willis: Isn't the Android SDK available for Ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| HumanBeing | mgolisch: just ask in a forum of your choice. | 22:44 |
| dr_willis | SonikkuAmerica: wanting somthing a little more end user friendly :) like that bluez thang on windows. | 22:44 |
| mgolisch | theres been some work on something called android execution environment @ dr_willis | 22:44 |
| mgolisch | but i think theres been no progress since 2009 | 22:44 |
| dr_willis | Im getting so used to using my phone/tablets - I find my self doing android-type gestures on my Ubuntu boxs ;) | 22:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | abizrcmplx: Can your video drivers handle video playback? | 22:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | abizrcmplx: Natively that is | 22:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dr_willis: "Bluez thang"? | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | abizrcmplx: the kind of video/size/codec and your system specs can have limitions | 22:45 |
| HumanBeing | my question again: How do I install Mari0 (https://launchpad.net/~sleepycat/+archive/mari0?field.series_filter=oneiric) without a high risk (since inofficial repositories are told to be dangerous)? | 22:45 |
| ccolorado | ikonia: mm maybe wording is confusing me, I think your last message says that the SD has no free space (FYI It has like 4 GB of free space ). If not, then i dont understand your answer | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | SonikkuAmerica: some anroid-enviroment they have on windows now. i forget its name. had blue in it i belive. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: how many partitions are on the disk | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: you need love from the ppa | 22:46 |
| ikonia | (on the SD) | 22:46 |
| ccolorado | ikonia: just that one (sdb1) | 22:46 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: right, so it spans the whole disk | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 22:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dr_willis: Hmm... something to research | 22:46 |
| abizrcmplx | sonikkuamerica: yes. i dont have an issue on other distros as long as compiz or any kind of effects are enabled. like with linux mint 13 xfce "vlc" play works fine. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: therefore it's 32gb in size | 22:46 |
| xyzone | anyone got steam beta to run on amd64? | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | SonikkuAmerica: bluestacks.com - aparantly a OS-X version is in alpha | 22:47 |
| ikonia | xyzone: the people on the steam beta forum may have | 22:47 |
| ccolorado | ikonia: even if mount -l reports it being 16 GB in size ? | 22:47 |
| HumanBeing | ActionParsnip: precise ;) | 22:47 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: please try to listen | 22:47 |
| ikonia | ccolorado: you've got a partition that covers the whole disk | 22:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | dr_willis: I'm downloading it now, wonder what this could mean | 22:47 |
| ikonia | however, you have copied the partition TABLE from the 16GB SD card when you did DD | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | SonikkuAmerica: Not sure if willwork in wine. it does work 'ok' in windows last i tried it. | 22:48 |
| ikonia | so software that queries the partition table will report 16GB, software that queries the physical device will report 32gb | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install love-unstable | 22:48 |

| ahammond | ikonia: ok, more generally, if the package manifest says it includes X, I install the package and file X doesn't exist, uh… what gives? | 22:54 |
| gregor3005 | i said it should use the whole disk | 22:54 |
| gregor3005 | i wait if it works with default values | 22:54 |
| ikonia | ahammond: you've not got that package from the ubuntu repos have you | 22:54 |
| ahammond | ikonia: got it from the rabbitmq PPA | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: its a single .love file, you open it with love and it runs | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: simples | 22:55 |
| ikonia | ahammond: so the person who maintains that appears to not be doing a good job | 22:55 |
| ikonia | ahammond: you'll need to contact to PPA maintainer | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: did you install love-unstable from the PPA? | 22:56 |
| ahammond | ikonia: so, manually extracted the file using dpkg -x and the file is in there… but ??? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | ahammond: ubuntu dosn't use that init system any more | 22:56 |
| HumanBeing | ActionParsnip: OK, thanks :) I hoped there would be an easier way to install it, but your descriptions helped me | 22:56 |
| ikonia | ahammond: hence why you'll need to contact the PPA maintainer | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: its not hard | 22:56 |
| HumanBeing | ActionParsnip: No, I did nothing right now | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: add a ppa, install a package, download the game and run the app | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | HumanBeing: you may need to link /usr/bin/love-unstable to /usr/bin/love | 22:57 |
| ahammond | ikonia: I'm less interested in the specific file being extracted than in the fact that not all of the files got extracted. | 22:57 |
| ikonia | ahammond: because those file destinitions no longer exist | 22:57 |
| ikonia | ahammond: contact the package maintainer | 22:57 |
| HumanBeing | ActionParsnip: Well, in comparison to other OSs it is hard ;) | 22:57 |

| Pelo | HumanBeing, network error is the message | 23:22 |

| Rolo__ | would anyone be interested in helping me install ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Rolo__: post your issue and the channelwill help if it can | 23:26 |
| Nik05 | put CD/DVD in an follow steps | 23:26 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: do you use username@gmail.com as the login ID? | 23:26 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, yes | 23:26 |
| Rolo__ | well here is my issue, my netbook won't boot the USB disk and I have no optical drive | 23:27 |
| Rolo__ | my remaining option is to use the pxe | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Rolo__: did you set the USB as the first boot device? | 23:27 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: strange... I had the error, when I logged in with my username without the @gmail.com | 23:28 |
| Rolo__ | I set the usb as the boot priority | 23:28 |
| Rolo__ | and my machine skips to pxe | 23:28 |
| Rolo__ | i recently got a boot sector virus | 23:28 |
| Rolo__ | my motherboard reads the hardrive but cant boot from it | 23:28 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: Ah: write talk.google.com as the server in the advanced settings of the account | 23:29 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, the annoying thing is that my regular account in empathy uses the same gmail and works fine | 23:29 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, ok where do I find those advances settings, I can'T locate them anywhere | 23:30 |
| marlboroman | hi. | 23:30 |
| HumanBeing | Edit > Accounts > the google talk account > advanced | 23:31 |
| marlboroman | when i do "which java" in my terminal, i get JAVA_HOME/bin/java which is perfectly normal. | 23:31 |
| Googol30 | I've been trying to mount a 256 Megabyte flash drive formatted in FAT32 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 for the last 2 and a half hours now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 23:31 |
| marlboroman | but when i do sudo which java, i don't see anything. | 23:31 |
| marlboroman | how can i fix this | 23:31 |
| almoxarife | Rolo__: so are you wanting to overwrite the boot sector with the ubuntu install? | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: what device nam is the partition? | 23:31 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: Edit > Accounts > the google talk account > advanced | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Rolo__: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 23:32 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, I don'T see that anywhere , I get the the account portion, I see my google talk account setup but no advanced settings , all I can do is "edit my connection parameters" (translated from the french) | 23:32 |
| Googol30 | If by partition name, you mean sda, sdb, sdc... etc... then I really haven't a clue. I wish I could figure that out. | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: run: sudo fdisk -l one block will identify the SD card (look at the disk sizes) | 23:33 |
| tjbiddle | anyone have experience with setting ulimit within an upstart (/etc/init) script? | 23:33 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: you are right, I checked it now. OK, another try: use @googlemail.com | 23:34 |
| === gpix13_away is now known as gpix13 | ||
| fooooooobar | thanks ActionParsnip some usefull info ther | 23:35 |
| almoxarife | HumanBeing: did you mean gmail.com? | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | fooooooobar: yeah, gvfs is dead handy :) | 23:35 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: No, use the long domain: @googlemail.com | 23:36 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, tried, ddin'T do much | 23:36 |
| hetii | Hello :> | 23:37 |
| Monotoko | hey all, does anyone know what "wish" is? | 23:37 |
| Monotoko | and where I can get it? | 23:37 |
| hetii | I have this issue on my mint dystribution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93095 | 23:37 |
| Monotoko | "/opt/Aptana_Studio_3/plugins/com.aptana.git.core_3.0.0.1345235597/os/linux/askpass.tcl: 3: exec: wish: not found" | 23:37 |
| hetii | after first login or autologin when i type enter in console i`m back to login screen | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hetii: mint isn't supported here | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !mint | hetii | 23:38 |
| ubottu | hetii: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:38 |
| HumanBeing | Pelo: found this: "ya, I deleted my Google talk account, then I readded it but this time I selected Jabber instead of Google Talk. I changed the Server field under Advanced to the google server, talk.google.com, used my full email as username with my password, and I left all the SSL options unticked." | 23:38 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, ok I deleted all the accounts sarted from scratch and I can now connect, but I can'T dial a phone number to make a call useing my computer | 23:38 |
| Googol30 | It looks like it's either sda2, or sda5, attempting the mount the former gives me "unable to read superblock" while attempting to mount the latter gives "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" | 23:38 |
| hetii | but its based on ubuntu relase, so would be helpfull if someone here know how to fix it :) | 23:38 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, trying your latest | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hetii: none of the ubuntu based distros are suported here | 23:39 |
| hetii | of course i aks there also :) | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hetii: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here | 23:39 |
| marlboroman | when i do "which java" in my terminal, i get JAVA_HOME/bin/java which is perfectly normal. but "sudo which java" doesn't show anything therefore i cannot use java as root. how can i fix this? java_home is set in my ~/.bashrc and it's on my $PATH as well. | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hetii: you aren't using Ubuntu or a Canonical release, so it's not supported here | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | marlboroman: did you set the java home in /root/.bashrc too ? | 23:40 |
| ssfdre38 | how can i get sticky keys off cause the control panel doesnt do it for me and i want to hard code it off | 23:41 |
| hetii | I see your point ActionParsnip, but as i said i ask on several channel to find solution. | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: so your SD card has multiple partitions on it? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | hetii: you need to ask in the mint support channel and they will advise | 23:41 |
| k1l | hetii: instead of asking in the wrong channels you could ask in the right one and save your and our time :) | 23:42 |
| Googol30 | It shouldn't... I just reformatted it with FAT32. | 23:42 |
| Googol30 | Does the superblock thing mean anything relevent? | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: then it's not sda (which is probably your OS drive). If you pastebin the output, we can advise | 23:42 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, ok that stuff with jabber seems to be working, meaning I connect, what I want to do is make a phonecall to a regular number using google talk, I go in empathy to discussion > new call > enter the number in the field but the buttons at the bottom do not light up | 23:42 |
| Pelo | HumanBeing, thanks for your patience, I've been on the other end of this discussion and I know how it can be | 23:43 |
| Googol30 | How do I pastebin something from the server without typing the whole thing out? | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit should fly | 23:44 |
| almoxarife | Pelo: i have found that 'yate' is much easier to configure for using your google number to make calls, i use it regularly without fail | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: the URL should be short enough to type out (case sensitive) | 23:44 |
| Pelo | almoxarife, thanks i,ll tive it a wirl | 23:45 |

| Kellur | How can I make firefox open mpeg and avi files with vlc? Now it tries to open them with GIMP. | 23:47 |
| Pelo | almoxarife, is yate cli ? | 23:47 |
| Googol30 | This is the worst behaved Ubuntu has ever been... now it's giving me "Unable to fetch some archives" upon attempting to install pastebinit. | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: if you double click avi files, do they also open with gimp? | 23:47 |
| === mh0` is now known as mh0 | ||
| ssfdre38 | is there a way to hard code out sticky keys | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: maybe the repo you are trying to access is being worked on.... | 23:48 |
| almoxarife | Pelo: no, you add the applet for your graphics, there may be a cli version, i dont use it | 23:48 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: No, it opens them correctly with VLC. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: isn't there a vlc-mozilla package or some such (not 100% sure as I don't use firefox) | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: mozilla-plugin-vlc | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: do you have that installed? | 23:50 |
| almoxarife | Pelo: you are wanting to make out-going calls, yate wont receive google numbered calls either | 23:50 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: No but for some files VLC already works... | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: you do know the default install would already open the files in totem and work... | 23:51 |
| Pelo | almoxarife, trying to configure it how | 23:52 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: I'm actually on Xubuntu, and I don't like Totem. | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: not sure what xubuntu uses but totem in ubuntu would work and play the vids, not sure what there is to not like... | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: i'd try the package, may help | 23:53 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: OK, I just installed it... will try. | 23:54 |
| Pelo | thanks guys, I'll work on this again later | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kemmotar: you do know that vlc uses Qt, so when you installed it you pulled in a tonne of Qt libs as deps | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Kellur: you will need to close all firefoxes, then make sure it's not running with: ps -ef | grep -i firefox | grep -v grep then rerun to load the new plugin | 23:56 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: Still doesn't work. I think it's Firefox that is buggy. It just offers GIMP and doesn't let me change settings. | 23:56 |
| ed_moulton | How do I use a joystick? I don't see anything like what's in XP. I'm using xubuntu 10.04 | 23:56 |

| ActionParsnip | !info jscalibrator lucid | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Package jscalibrator does not exist in lucid | 23:58 |
| ed_moulton | ActionParsnip, I did that. I've also installed joystick (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1729315) and still no love | 23:58 |
| ed_moulton | ActionParsnip, Really? I thought I had like five years... | 23:59 |
| Googol30 | Any simply way to test if I have internet? I think I might have messed something up earlier when trying to assign myself a static internal IP. | 23:59 |
