My wireless card is an Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express). How do I fix this? [00:39] ActionParsnip: I installed xfce4 , but same error... It starts... but then crashes..

(I am a linux noob) [00:45] Rob1337: its all one command [00:45] Rob1337: the | is a pipe and it makes the text from one command be the input for the next [00:46] k, i'll be back in a minute. rebooting. [00:47] ActionParsnip: Do you have another idea? [00:47] ActionParsnip: i understand that but it shouldn't start and stop gnome display manager and do the same with kde especially on kde since i dont have it installed [00:47] my friend is trying to install steam which gives you a .deb, but is getting into dependency hell with requiring libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 which requires libdrm2:i386 which recommends libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 [00:48] circular dependencies [00:48] what d [00:48] o === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [00:48] WhereIsMySpoon: how is he trying to install it...? [00:48] jrib: with the .deb [00:48] WhereIsMySpoon: he types "with the .deb"? That won't work. [00:48] jrib: oh you wanted the command [00:48] WhereIsMySpoon: tried: sudo apt-get -f install [00:49] jrib: gdebi Downloads/steam.deb [00:49] ActionParsnip: thats a really bad idea [00:49] WhereIsMySpoon: use: sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/steam.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [00:49] WhereIsMySpoon: why is it a bad idea? [00:49] ActionParsnip: if it depends on those packages, and you install it anyway, it wont work [00:49] and you'll have broken packages [00:49] 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) [00:50] WhereIsMySpoon: is he on the right ubuntu version? What ubuntu version? [00:50] WhereIsMySpoon: apt-get -f tries to satisfy deps, so you won't have broken packages at a;ll [00:50] <[TiZ]> Hi. It seems the s2tc compression library isn't being loaded for some reason. [00:50] jrib: 12.10 [00:50] WhereIsMySpoon: what do you think -f does when used with apt-get? [00:50] Speedtest.net just gave a result of roughly 20mb/s [00:50] thought it force installed them anyway [00:50] Hey guys! Can anyone help me install wine on my Ubuntu 12.10 64bit [00:50] <[TiZ]> I'm trying to play the TF2 beta on Steam, and it complains about missing texture compression support. Normally I could fix this by installing the s2tc library, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore in this case. [00:50] Thank you ActionParsnip! [00:50] without checking deps [00:50] WhereIsMySpoon: you thought wrong [00:51] WhereIsMySpoon: try checking the man page [00:51] I get this error when I try "sudo apt-get install wine" [00:51] WhereIsMySpoon: if you make assumptions and they are wrong, you'll look foolish [00:51] hey [00:51] ActionParsnip, jrib: http://pastie.org/5491427 [00:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1415904/ [00:52] I'd like to know if there is a way to clone a hard drive OS (unix) into an sd card [00:52] WhereIsMySpoon: -f is short for ..fix.broken === SolarisB1y is now known as SolarisBoy [00:52] and retain everything that's in it... (that is, their bootsector, files, permissions etc) [00:52] doesn't -f mean "force" in most command line contexts? [00:52] ActionParsnip, jrib he doesnt have broken packages [00:52] Hey guys! Can anyone help me install wine on my Ubuntu 12.10 64bit [00:53] just circular dependencies [00:53] WhereIsMySpoon: steam installs fine here by the way with gdebi. Your friend probably has some ppa or mixed repos or random packages [00:53] WhereIsMySpoon: the steam deb is, it will pull down the deps needed for the package, then finally install steam [00:53] How do I find out what partition my OS is? [00:53] Hausas: df -h [00:53] Feels ignored* [00:53] Rustyblade, go to software center and search for wine === rparkhurst is now known as millhouse [00:53] Anyone here using turses? [00:54] That doesn't tell me much [00:54] Rustyblade: what is the output of: sudo apt-get install wine please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com === millhouse is now known as millhouse513 [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1415904/ [00:54] Hausas: how does it not? [00:55] ActionParsnip, I've got several OS'es on my hdd. And I want to find out which one is in which partition [00:55] Hausas: use Gparted [00:55] I think that's the good partition software [00:55] for ubuntu [00:55] Hausas: #/# is the sytstem partition (read the right colomn). Then read the left colomn and it tells you the partition mounted for '/' [00:55] ActionParsnip: why did doing sudo apt-get install -f remove xubuntu-desktop? [00:56] So the one with "/" should be the OS i'm on now? [00:56] ActionParsnip: and xorg [00:56] Rustyblade: do you have the universe repo enabled? [00:56] any idea on how to do the cloning to HDD -> SD? [00:56] But there are two of them [00:56] WhereIsMySpoon: thats just a meta package, removing it doesn't remove the contents it pulled in [00:57] Andrew_: rsync or dd [00:57] yea [00:57] but [00:57] I think [00:57] ActionParsnip: ahh, its *remove* rather than *purge* [00:57] ActionParsnip: Yes [00:57] right? [00:57] WhereIsMySpoon: it doesn't remove anything unless you agree to [00:57] Hausas: yes, the OS booted will show it's / partition in df [00:57] HDD's have different bs than the sd card, don't they? [00:57] But there are two of them [00:57] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1415913/ [00:58] Hausas: but you said "That doesn't tell me much" which is wrong, isn't it? [00:58] :) [00:58] It's not completely wrong [00:58] Hausas: it gives you 50% of what you want.... [00:58] Hausas: it actually tells you quite a bit [00:58] So, you see, I've got this output, of df -h [00:59] So what do I do Action? [00:59] Rustyblade: enable the extra repo [00:59] what partition is currently running os on? [01:00] coz i pretty messed up all the partitions [01:00] What do you mean? [01:00] WhereIsMySpoon: did your buddy get steam installed ok? [01:01] ActionParsnip: not yet [01:01] ActionParsnip: he did a install -f [01:01] hey [01:01] Rustyblade: the packages needed are from sources which are not enabled by default, you can use software centre to enable them, or manually uncomment them in /etc/apt/sources.list if you desire [01:01] got a dc ! [01:01] it said removing all those xorg and xubuntu-desktop things and he just did apt-get install them again [01:01] WhereIsMySpoon: are the necessary packages installing now? [01:01] install -f again does nothing [01:01] any idea on the cloing isse? [01:01] *issue [01:01] ActionParsnip: gdebi steam.deb does the circular dependencies still [01:02] I think HDD's have different bs than the SD cards, wouldn't this be a problem if I copied the files with dd? [01:02] WhereIsMySpoon: you could manually pull down the deb, install it and satisfy the dep [01:02] Andrew__: could use rsync (or grsync in gui) [01:02] What does +f 5:10 #ubuntu-unregged mean? [01:02] no gui possible! [01:03] how can I use rsynch to do that? [01:03] I think my sources are messed up... [01:03] http://imagebin.org/238395 [01:03] Andrew__: you can use a liveCD if you want a gui [01:03] I should have partitioned the hard drive before I installed any of the OSes [01:03] I'd rather do it through the console ;) [01:03] ActionParsnip: worth noting: whilst he did the apt-get install -f it *Did* install a load of i386 packages [01:04] j4jackj: keep the offtopic out of here, please [01:04] any sample syntax for the rsync do accomplish that? [01:04] OK! [01:04] bye [01:04] WhereIsMySpoon: yes, those are needed to square off the packages needed [01:04] ActionParsnip: cancel that, it seems to have magiced its way to victory [01:04] science! [01:04] which clones an hdd installed os to an sd-card [01:04] WhereIsMySpoon: like I said: sudo apt-get -f install [01:05] WhereIsMySpoon: which you said was a bad idea....weird stuff huh [01:05] ActionParsnip: :P [01:05] Action? === smw__ is now known as smw [01:05] ActionParsnip, doesn't grub.cfg file tell you what partition what os is installed on? [01:05] ActionParsnip: when he did the sudo dpkg steam.deb thing it said dependency errors and unconfigured stuff but it still runs steam [01:05] Rustyblade: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [01:05] this a problem? [01:05] Hausas: possibly, worth a looksee [01:05] anyone run into issues where supermicro machines freeze on boot? this seems to happen maybe 25% of the time [01:06] It says quantal [01:06] Rustyblade: ok, gimme a sec [01:06] it gets past the grub screen but not much further [01:06] Thx man :D [01:06] ActionParsnip: he's now getting "fatal error, failed to load steamui.so" [01:07] if I hard power off the machine and power it back on it will come to the grub screen requiring me to press enter and then it boots fine [01:07] Rustyblade: run: sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/quantalsources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine [01:07] ActionParsnip: any sample syntax if that's possible for rsync for the cloning?

[01:13] Rustyblade: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine1.5 [01:13] so, ActionParsnip, it says hd0,msdos1 [01:13] what does that mean? [01:13] Hausas: 1st drive 1st partition [01:14] so /dev/sda1 ? [01:14] Hausas: seems you are using lvm or somesuch [01:14] lvm?

[01:22] Kinda sucks when you have 3 OSes and you want to install another one [01:22] :D [01:22] i installed owncloud, for some reason, i can login by visiting doshay.net/subdomains/cloud but if i go to cloud.doshay.net it just keeps asking for login info [01:22] any ideas [01:23] running on ubuntu 10.04 server [01:23] I tried owncloud for a short time about two months ago. it needs a lot of work [01:23] it got a lot better [01:23] i had it working on my dreamhost server [01:24] but now that i am on linode, i cant get it to work [01:24] ugh... this ubuntu guest on ESXi is driving me insane [01:24] ActionParsnip: why does apt-get install -f keep wanting to remove xorg and steam packages [01:24] :S [01:24] WhereIsMySpoon: not sure, very weird [01:25] I installed Mageia earlier on this morning and it crashed my whole partition [01:25] WhereIsMySpoon: let me try [01:25] I'm not gonna use it again [01:25] ever [01:27] Did you guys know that digitally imported is like listening to your brain on drugs [01:27] ActionParsnip: let you try what? O.o [01:27] install -f? [01:27] WhereIsMySpoon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1415952 [01:28] ActiveParsnip: do I have to format the SD card first? [01:28] ActiveParsnip: or I can just use the rsync command to perform it in-place? [01:28] <_> [01:30] 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] 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] i am un capable to setup a virtual host on linode. tried everything [01:31] * lieanu # [01:31] ActionParsnip: he did the exact same commands you just did [01:31] the dpkg [01:31] then the install -f [01:31] and it wants to remove steam and xorg packages [01:31] wtfs [01:32] 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] Did you guys know the devil does everything perfectly if one thing it does works out to every dimension inside angle. [01:32] WhereIsMySpoon: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove steam [01:32] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: then run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo dpkg -i steam.deb [01:33] psychopathic is a bot [01:33] ActionParsnip: will try [01:33] someone willing to help this newbie? :) [01:33] 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? [01:34] dfa: what was your question? :) [01:34] ActionParsnip: and then install -f? [01:34] ClumsyFairyQueen: you want to apply it to a specific folder? [01:34] jrib: yup. recursively [01:34] ClumsyFairyQueen: you would need to use ACLs to accomplish that [01:35] aww. That was what I was hoping to avoid [01:35] thanks anyways :) [01:35] ActionParsnip? [01:35] ClumsyFairyQueen: why :) [01:35] 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] puff: nvidia-experimental-310 for 310.14 and xedgers ppa has 310.19 [01:35] im half of nothing proper so bot is not [01:36] trism: AH, xedgers ppa, not x-swat. [01:36] psychopathic: stay on-topic to prove you are not a bot :) [01:36] WhereIsMySpoon: yes to get the deps [01:36] jrib: welcome to the wonders of selinux. [01:36] ActionParsnip: it wants to remove steam and xorg packages again [01:36] Got MAAS experience? [01:36] dfa: sorry, can't help you with that - only use Unity and KDE [01:37] OK yes even better more [01:37] WhereIsMySpoon: all I can say then is grab the 32bit packages for what it needs and install them [01:37] dfa: you would have to create a custom launcher for it. [01:37] ok CFQ.... thank you anyways...... [01:37] 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] ANYBODY HERE GOOD WITH LXDE ? [01:38] dfa: lose the caps please [01:38] jrib: but thats how this all started, the deps are recursive [01:38] dfa: good in what way? [01:38] 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] sorry.... [01:38] WhereIsMySpoon: show me where you try to install each dep... [01:39] well i guess my problem is something very easy for someone who knows a bit of lxde....... [01:39] trism: Whoa, edgers is some scary loking stuff. [01:39] puff: yes, hence the -edgers [01:39] can you read up or do i have to rewrite it? [01:39] puff: I still use it :P [01:39] dfa: reading up is no worry :), gimme a sec [01:40] 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 [01:41] 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] 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] {bosco}: ##windows [01:42] {bosco}: grub2 can boot ISO files. [01:42] which is the easiest way? [01:42] you can set your bios to boot off a flash drive [01:42] so with pae 32 bit cpus can address more than 4 gig of ram [01:42] 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] !info alacarte [01:42] 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] yay [01:43] ActionParsnip: jrib thank you. and it looks like there is a 12.04.1 too, important? [01:43] puff: might be difficult to purge, I haven't done it successfully in the past, but I haven't tried recently [01:43] ok thank you :) [01:43] Kireji: doesn't matter, that just enables you to install and need fewer upgrades. This is normal for LTS releases [01:43] 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 [01:44] k thank you [01:44] Kireji: imagine yu install Ubuntu, 3 years into the 5 years of support. Imagine the updates :). [01:44] puff: though of course, the packages are created from the binary from nvidia, so they are the same [01:44] for reference https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS [01:44] Kireji: the sub releases give an ISO with the newer packages already in [01:45] jrib: ActionParsnip this is on a headless machine. I have full console/root/sudo but no GUI [01:45] 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] freakin weird [01:46] 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?

[01:47] How smooth is the 11.10 to 12.4 upgrade? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:47] puff: yes, I was just speaking of the nvidia-graphics-driver package, -edgers has an updated xorg stack as well [01:47] holy mother of.... 66mB/s in steam right now [01:47] trism: Ok, so the depednency scariness doesn't apply to the nvidia-graphics-driver? [01:48] 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] 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] serious sam3 will be downloaded in seconds [01:48] trism: Is it feasible to just try the nvidia-graphics-driver part? [01:48] puff: well, if you use -edgers, you are really going to have to pull in the whole stack [01:48] Hi I have a USB wireless adapter that dosn't connect to home network... keeps asking for password over and over [01:48] empacher, did you put distro upgrades on while you installed.? [01:48] trism: Ah, yeah, that's what I was afraid of... [01:49] you might have to go all the way to the version that is current [01:49] empacher: do you get the log in screen? [01:49] Guess I'll try upgrading to 12.4 first. [01:49] empacher, remove all files in /etc/apt/sources.d/ [01:50] Hello? [01:50] empacher, then look at you sources.list [01:50] hi whywontitwork [01:50] is that name taken by someone else? [01:50] empacher, if it is only main mirrors, do a aptitude .dist upgrade. [01:50] because I just picked it because NOTHING IS WORKING FOR NO ReASON [01:50] ActionParsnip: jrib thank you [01:51] if it is a lts version expect for five years new kernels and goodies. [01:51] so could someone please help? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:51] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/5491583 [01:51] what do [01:51] whywontitwork, what name? Was it frankko? Because i was sure i regged it in 1999 [01:51] whywontitwork: try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it [01:51] If it's any help the adapter is a TP-LINK TL-WN723N [01:52] HI [01:52] hi [01:52] everybody [01:52] 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] someone use ubuntu [01:52] or not [01:53] WHAT [01:53] me [01:53] whywontitwork: sudo: unable to resolve host blah did you change the hostname of the PC? [01:53] it doesn't mention incompatibility with IPv6 [01:53] I need to know how can I use itune 11 in it? [01:53] I use iphone 4 now. [01:53] joosengee_: iTunes does NOT work under Linux at all. [01:53] 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. [01:54] joosengee_: you can't - what are you trying to do/accomplish? [01:54] *with itunes [01:54] 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] Look around for some alternatives, GTKpod works for the most part [01:54] 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] Oh. I Can't jailbreak the iphone 4 with itune. [01:55] whywontitwork: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUrqcD4W_M [01:55] Now I'm waiting the news for jailbreak iphone 5. [01:55] 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] If it can, I will urgent to buy it. [01:55] plz how i can add back track 5 tools to ubuntu [01:55] WhereIsMySpoon: so now do « apt-cache policy libcairo2 » [01:55] WhereIsMySpoon: sudo: unable to resolve host blah have you changed the hostname? [01:55] ?? [01:55] joosengee_: its possible - there are a bunch of guides on google [01:56] jihad-sabra: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux [01:56] but none that I have used, so I won't send any sites directly here. [01:56] it can, or not? [01:56] empacher, OK if you get graphical login screen do crtl+alt+F1 and enter cli [01:56] joosengee_: it can. [01:56] what's about can? [01:56] or at least for the 4S versions, so there should be one for 5 === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf [01:57] Can jailbreak the iphone 5 with ubuntu? [01:57] empacher, then do in terminal: sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [01:57] hello [01:57] :) [01:57] ActionParsnip: eh? [01:57] jrib: will try [01:57] The software of jailbreak that can run on the ubuntu? [01:58] how do I switch off IPv6? [01:58] WhereIsMySpoon: read the text, seems the PC cannot resolve its own hostname to 127.0.0.1 [01:58] 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] whywontitwork: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 [01:58] 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] yyou can move with the arrow keys in nano [01:58] ActionParsnip: he has no networking issues that are showing bad symptoms atm [01:58] so i dont think its an issue [01:58] tho i could be wrong again :D [01:59] WhereIsMySpoon: its good to have the system be able to talk to itself [01:59] WhereIsMySpoon: the name in /etc/hostname needs to be presetnt in /etc/hosts so it resolves to 127.0.0.1 [01:59] joosengee_: you will want to watch the Absinthe project [01:59] WhereIsMySpoon: its not going to fix the issue but its needed for things in the OS [01:59] can I get a driver for this usb stick that i have? [01:59] after that it is just to do an "sudo apt-get update" and a "aptitude dist-upgrade " then you are done [01:59] TL-WN723N [02:00] jrib: http://pastie.org/5491608 [02:00] ActionParsnip: k, will deal with that late [02:00] WhereIsMySpoon: so there you go [02:00] r [02:00] How can I follow the Absinthe project ? [02:00] jrib: there i go? [02:00] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: look at what you have pastebinned [02:00] jrib: i need to add those reps? [02:00] 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] to sources.list [02:00] right? [02:00] WhereIsMySpoon: you have a version of that package that is not from the ubuntu repositories [02:00] how to run a .py script in 12.04 [02:01] WeThePeople: python asd.py [02:01] thanks [02:01] frankko: i tried xubuntu 12.04 LTS and it says i need 130 or so updates [02:01] jrib: sorry if im being stupid, but where in there does it say where its from [02:02] 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] 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] jrib: so what do i do now [02:02] I uninstalled the unity shopping lens, but why do my amazon links still open up a separate launcher item? http://i.imgur.com/q0aw8.jpg?1 [02:03] if* [02:03] empacher, IF [02:03] empacher, IF the login manager is the problem [02:03] sorry i did not spell correctly 5 lines up [02:03] frankko: i tried disabling the "ask for password at startup" thingy and the same thing happens [02:03] ourdvark: right clic, remove it [02:03] WTF? Suddenly it works. Sorry guys! [02:04] 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] frankki: only i get to see all my desktop appearing and even some popups and notifications, then BAM, crash [02:04] whywontitwork: change your nick! [02:04] xangua: negative, it still comes back when I click amazon links === whywontitwork is now known as myst3rious [02:04] empacher, if you uninstall all displaymanagers and login managers and revoke to "nodm" and running as you username.. does it still crash? [02:04] jrib: if i went through all the ppas in the update manager and used ppa-purge on them, will it remove all software insstalled buy the ppa [02:04] i do not think it will [02:04] *by === Argure is now known as Argure|AFK [02:05] WhereIsMySpoon: yes, but the ppa where that package came from is currently not enabled [02:05] * frankko = off for 20 min, grandkids awoke. [02:05] ourdvark: have you check firefox addons¿ is a new feature to integrate websites you visit on unity...i am still on 12.04 so no idea how to enable/disable them [02:05] jrib: ok [02:05] jrib: so what do i do? [02:06] ppa-purge it then try to install the package again? [02:06] WhereIsMySpoon: that is one option, yes [02:06] and it should install from the correct place [02:06] WhereIsMySpoon: ppa-purge would try to downgrade the package [02:07] xangua: good call, there are two addons installed by default, "unity desktop integration" and "unity websites integration" [02:07] hi [02:07] jrib: ok, will try that [02:07] wow. changing a nick makes qwebirc fail. lovely. [02:10] wow, a lull in the action. a rare sight indeed. [02:10] myst3rious: we were about to break the record, but you just had to say something! [02:11] sorry jriv [02:11] *jrib [02:11] how i can add backtrack tools on ubuntu plz [02:11] lol [02:11] jihad-sabra: aren't most of them in ubuntu's repositories? Which are you looking for specifically? [02:11] lol [02:11] 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. This only happened on [02:11] ce, though... [02:12] test 1, 2, 3, 4 [02:13] awesome the computer works [02:13] app for network [02:13] !test [02:13] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3...

I tried to reformat and install Windows 7 again, while running BootRec.exe /fixmbr but that does not do anything. [02:16] Is there a way that I can troubleshoot this from a live USB? [02:17] profelm, installing win7 should remove the grub from mbr [02:17] I would assume so, myself. [02:17] profElm: you could zero the drive totally wirh dd.. or ask in #windows [02:18] 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] unplug one ;-) [02:18] actividentity not turning blue on Windows 7 or WIndows xp using virtualbox? need HELP ! [02:18] fdisk -l doesn't show anything, either. [02:19] whats actividentity? [02:19] I can see the drives in GParted, though. [02:19] profElm, use gparted to create a new MBR/parition table (msdos) [02:20] profElm: if you totally want to erase the hd. use dd. tgen use wundows to partition ir [02:20] it. [02:20] Thanks Erin and doctor willis. [02:20] or gparted [02:20] @profElm why do you think windows didn't clear grub out? [02:20] I know what you talking 'bout.

I just did the LTS server upgrade thank you. now on 12.04.1 - but a question, now for kernet 3.2, the kernel now says generic, whereas before it said server [02:43] this machine is primarily used as a server, does it matter? [02:43] 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 [02:44] Hello [02:45] My external VGA monitor is not detected in xrandr. How to detect it? gnome-control-center isn't doing that. [02:45] is wget coded in python?

[02:48] Since nobody is answering in #kubuntu, I will ask here. I am trying out Kubuntu 12.10, and it has a nice IM client - KDE-Telepathy, does it have IRC support, and if so, do I need to install something special to enable it? (Kind of like Pidgin and how you need a special package for IRC) [02:48] des anyone use pdf exhange viewer, through wine, in ubuntu? I'm having trouble installing it. [02:48] mmmmmm [02:49] Hi. Does anyone have timidity? [02:49] Anyone know what my cause a live usb to report a -110 error? I cannot get passed the Ubuntu logo loading screen. [02:50] I dont need a complete walkthrough. I understand the basics, I just am not sure if I create 1 big physical vol for encryption then do lvm on it, and if so, is that an option that comes after the partioning? [02:50] do u guys know how i can get a global menu in zubuntu [02:50] xubuntu [02:51] Does anyone know if it's possible to get timidity to run as a daemon? [02:52] Would anyone here know if there would be a better drive configuration for me to use? I currently have a very simple configuration between my 60 GB SSD and my 1 TB mechanical drive, where I have / on the SSD, and /home on the mechanical. Is there a better way for me to go about setting this up in order to increase I/O speeds? [02:53] xwalk, yes...... [02:53] xwalk I bet you already know the answer. [02:53] it's like a ghost town over in #eclipse; and, yeah, I am running ubuntu 12.04 - so here goes nothing... [02:53] I'm getting some error how do I fix it? I was watching eclipse/java youtube totorials and we were doing JUnit. There's a assertEquals() call and the guy in the vid does ctrl+1 and get's an options to select "add static import..." instead of that I only get the opstion to rename and if I hover over the assertEquals I get "void org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Object expected, Object actual) Note: This element has no attached source and the [02:53] Javadoc could not be found in the attached Javadoc.". Is there an easy way to fix it? [02:54] do u guys know how i can get a global menu in zubuntu [02:54] bulletrulz: do you mean Xubuntu? [02:54] bulletrulz: xubuntu? most likely you cant [02:55] 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 [02:55] Erin: Just getting another SSD? [02:55] dr_willis, bulletrulz, there is a third party repo or package that is most likely not supported here [02:55] I looked into the same thing [02:55] i'm trying to get ubuntu working with my kickstart file, but can it be that /tmp isn't used with ubuntu? [02:56] I was writing a tmp/stuff via the %pre script, but it couldn't be found later in the installation... [02:56] well has anybody got it before? [02:56] bulletrulz: it is not supported. [02:57] xwalk, cant you put /home on your ssd and just store music/movies other big files on the 1TB ? [02:57] whats so hard about it [02:57] i got a /tmp here [02:58] are the update servers down? [02:58] :D [02:58] Erin: I wouldn't be too sure. I don't know much about partitioning and how the filesystem is read from those. [02:58] D: [02:59] bulletrulz: it doesnt matter if it is hard or not. Third party repos are not supported. [02:59] Erin: "Those" being the partitions. [02:59] D: fuck u lol [02:59] jk [02:59] D: [03:00] ugh... [03:00] xwalk, id boot from a live usb, move the /home folder to a new partition on the ssd and simply edit /etc/fstab to reflect the changes [03:00] !movehome [03:00] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [03:01] how do I enable the dealine scheduler [03:01] I wonder if it would be possible for application designers to distribute their applications as bootable vmware/virtualbox images to make the applications OS agnostic. [03:02] Ycarene: i recall some vmware-appliances page ages ago [03:03] a customized live cd could do that also [03:03] Yeesh, wtf... doing the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, now it's telling me 3 hours remaining... [03:03] devon: good now? [03:04] puff ;) one of the many reasons i always clean install [03:04] Still no [03:04] Oh wait, now it works. THanks! [03:04] cool [03:04] I think that software companies, especially game designers could reach a larger audience if they made a "bootable" game that was designed to boot into a virtual machine. [03:04] dr_willis: I don't remember it taking quite so long, dang. [03:05] dr_willis: Also, I'd clean install but then it's a huge pain to get data & etc migrated over. [03:05] Anyways! Before my brain had a lapse of insanity, my system is saying cryptswap: evms_activate is unavailable. Rebooting does nothing, and after a short period of time it goes to busybox [03:05] or they could just get over it and use OpenGL [03:05] What do I do, how do I bypass this? [03:05] im reading the linux command line and im learning about storage media but for the life of me i cannot get into /etc/fstab does this not exist in ubuntu because in the example he is showing he is on fedora [03:06] and if it doesnt exist in ubuntu what would be the ubuntu equivelant [03:06] I have few fonts in a folder, does any one know how can I install those fonts? [03:06] I'm in a shell, BusyBox v1.19.3, what is this? [03:07] danny: it very much exists.. are you using sudo? === nitro is now known as Guest3577 [03:07] Hi, I'm having a problem with Wubi. Wubi, and when I select the boot menu selection, it goes straight to Windows [03:07] I have one backup of my HDD and I know my password. Is it going to be okay if I lose all my data on one of the drives but have that backup image? Or is it going to be corrupted/unuseable because the data was encrypted?I have one backup of my HDD and I know my password. Is it going to be okay if I lose all my data on one of the drives but have that backup image? Or is it going to be corrupted/unuseable because the data was encrypted?

[03:08] That was unintended [03:08] danny: try sudo nano /etc/fstab [03:09] does anybody know why smlnj, a sml compiler is not in precise repo, it was in lucid repo [03:09] Zael: ok that worked but now im in a program what is nano ? havnt learned about this [03:09] I installed ubuntu multiple time on my macbook pro and everytime the computer freezes for no reason. If anyone could help I'll greatly appreciate it [03:09] nano is a command line editor, you might also try leafpad for a gui application [03:09] Zael: so same as vim because that is what this book has been using recently [03:10] Does anyone here have a link to setting up encrypted partitions manually with lvm? [03:10] danny: simplify a bit, use a gui, from same terminal, gksu gedit /etc/fstab [03:10] yeah, simpler than vim i'd say [03:11] Zael: why do i need to use an editor to get into this ? [03:11] because fstab is a text file [03:12] Is it okay to use a backup image from an encrypted drive? Or will the image be corrupted because of the encryption?

[03:31] maybe the bare bones install? [03:32] As said, its highly suggested you do a live cd/usb install [03:32] almoxarife i just installed it by burning ubuntu 12.10 into my usb then converting to img. Restarted my computer and going into the ubuntu logo. Then proceeded with the installation === ClumsyFairyQueen is now known as Celene_away [03:33] read: sounds like a liveusb, give it a try, [03:33] does it crash when you log in [03:33] or right at the login screen?

I installed it regularly, I try installing as OEM, and I used try. Only OEM and installing it regularly gives me this problem [03:38] Using Try is what they mean by LiveUSB - it should give you access to the filesystem to check the logs.

SO, can i also do it by going to the advance ubuntu menu?

[03:49] damn language... i want to switch to en-gb [03:49] SonikkuAmerica: you can, just use wubi as normal then add the other stuff later [03:49] almoxarife, since I installed the system as OEM it allows me to report the error the computer has [03:50] nope the setting i need is not there either... what menace to process keeps dimming my screen?! [03:50] 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] read: are you using the installed OS presently?

[04:18] 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] 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] Laibsch: sounds like your problem anyway, my keyboard and mouse don't work without them [04:18] trism: I see.

[05:11] How can I get something on the desktop to be visible across all workspaces? [05:12] yes, well youtube works fine, but othe pages not. [05:12] lauratika: is it ok if you don't use the VPN, or is the VPN 100% necvessary to get web access? [05:13] yep, to watch content out of the country.

[05:15] @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".

[05:17] Thanks SaidKLE, I'll check that out [05:17] lauratika: have you tried a different browser|? [05:17] different brosers, not messages... you mean messages on terminal??

[05:19] Jeremy3D: cat /etc/issue [05:19] yes i try on different browsers 3 of them same result... [05:20] ActionParsnip, glibc2.7 or glibc2.11 ? [05:21] how do i find out what glibc i'm using? [05:22] hello every one... [05:22] 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? [05:23] @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 [05:25] 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] Jeremy3D: let me check [05:26] Jeremy3D: ldd --version | grep -i glibc === legitnick is now known as Guest92808 [05:27] got it ActionParsnip ty [05:28] puppy_parade: yes, you'll need the proper raid card driver compiled into the kernel or loaded via module, either way driver is necessary === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks [05:33] While attempting to load a proprietary Nvidia driver, my icons and launcher no longer show up on the Desktop.

[05:54] 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] CnetCOM: how do you get that mint is 'top dog' (whatever that means) [05:55] CnetCOM: if you want solid then use Precise. Its supported long after Quantal is EOL [05:55] ubuntu (canonical) is a corporation. a product. not a linux. come to the archlinux/chakra side. we have cookies. and simplicity. [05:55] danny: i think it's "dmesg" not "messages" [05:55] djustice: ubuntu holds hands more, people like that more than cookies [05:56] * kvothetech sucks harder on you and [05:56] Well Mint is far more stable reliable and popular so and Ubuntu has gotten worse is Canonical pulling the plug? [05:57] CnetCOM: not at all, also you'll find mint will probably die if ubuntu ceased [05:57] ubuntu causes the need for hand holding. [05:57] over complexity will kill both projects. [05:57] "do one job, and do it well." [05:58] what is the benefit to using ubuntu over something like Gentoo? [05:58] I heard Mint will go its own way now so how will they dies if ubuntu keeps releasing half done OSs [05:58] crimsonmane: i connected a usb flashdrive and nothing came up [05:58] DrManhattan: quicker reinstall when you break something. [05:58] 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] DrManhattan: much the same as chakra vs archlinux. [05:58] i need the juicy stuff to write my review... [05:58] CnetCOM, ActionParsnip has a good going [05:59] danny: meh. i looked about a week ago and didn't find "messages". what is it you're looking for in there? [05:59] good point [05:59] CnetCOM: how do you mean juicy stuff? [05:59] CnetCOM: you clearly dislike it so your review is not going to be objective any way, so why bother [05:59] djustice, i've heard of arch, but never used it. Is it a distro one compiles as well? [06:00] 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] I tried you OS and nothing works well is Canonical trying to get lazy developers so Ubuntu goes under? [06:00] 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] DrManhattan: it is. [06:00] CnetCOM: they are the same devs as always [06:00] danny: "The Linux Command Line" ? i read that :) a good read. that's why i was looking for "messages" too! [06:00] danny: there should be a change under /dev/sdX [06:00] djustice, shame there's not better backup solutions for linux. [06:00] Clonezilla seems to be the best out there so far for lin [06:01] DrManhattan: I use a cron'd cp command. works well. You could even cron rsync [06:01] 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] crimsonmane: as in /var/log/messages ? [06:01] haha. [06:01] linux has no backup issue. [06:01] there is more issues reported on 12.10 that any other ubuntu [06:01] CnetCOM, please stop trolling. [06:01] 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] djustice: /dev/sdX ? could u tell me what to do with that [06:01] facts tho. [06:02] so is Canonical pulling funding ? [06:02] CnetCOM: not at all [06:02] danny: in 'konsole' type "ls /dev/sd*" before and after plugging in the device. [06:02] djustice: he wants to see "in action" the kernel recognize the device inserted [06:02] CnetCOM: i'd wager so. they have to keep afloat. [06:02] I think they are why would your release get worse and worse if they are not planing on dumping Ubuntu?

[06:21] not sure [06:21] it was a stock install [06:22] mnathani: clean install, not upgrade? [06:22] and then I tried installing a proprietary Nvidia driver [06:22] it was working before the Nvidia driver failure [06:22] Clean install [06:22] hardly need to ask, but have you rebooted or at least logged out/in since? [06:22] yes, several times [06:22] mm [06:22] mnathani: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [06:22] mnathani: several times what? [06:23] rebooted several times [06:23] xorg.conf does not exist in the X11 folder [06:23] What method did you use to install Nvidia drivers? [06:24] I downloaded a binary for linux 64bit and my model [06:24] from nvidia.com [06:24] you mean the .run driver? [06:24] thats right [06:24] you did try the one in the repos first? [06:24] I did [06:25] nvidia-current I believe [06:25] that didnt work, similar mouse with no icons issue [06:25] mnathani: Did you run nvidia-xconfig ? [06:25] but it was easy to remove [06:25] I did not [06:25] mnathani: SO try it. sudo nvidia-xconfig [06:26] I am doing: apt-get install nvidia-current [06:26] ok [06:26] mnathani: is this a laptop with that dual gpu optimus stuff? [06:26] no, its actually a macbookpro 2010 edition [06:27] I believe the graphic card is integrated [06:27] well its in there somewhere.. if thats what you mean. ;) [06:27] I mean as opposed to dedicated [06:27] not too many laptops have removeable gfx (i have seen a few) [06:28] mnathani: ive never seen a nvidia card that wasent dedicated..... [06:28] you sure it has a nvidia? [06:28] 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 [06:29] I ran nvidia-xconfig which said it generated an xorg.conf [06:29] then reboot, and the resolution has changed, but still no menu or icons on the dekstop [06:29] 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) [06:30] 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 [06:31] i think the core of the issue is compiz is not seeing proper 3d support and is crashing. so no wm starts [06:32] how can I disable compiz [06:32] mnathani: install/use a different desktop.. like lubuntu-desktop [06:32] or some other wm/desktop [06:33] mnathani: if you are using Precise you can use Unity2D [06:33] 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 [06:34] I actually get to a desktop and can right click, but the icons and menu / launchers are missing [06:34] installing lubuntu in the mean time [06:34] and thats what compiz controls. [06:34] you are seeing the 'x server' with only a partitial desktop [06:35] The nvidia run file was expecting either 2.4 or 2.6 kernel [06:35] the core of unity runs as a compiz plugin. no compiz = most of the desktop not running [06:35] I see [06:35] mnathani: dont use the .run drivers [06:36] Perhaps it would be easier to start fresh and reinstall the OS? [06:37] as it was working initially - just no 3d effects === gpix13 is now known as gpix13_away [06:37] why not uninstall the priority driver? [06:37] thats because compiz was using the fallback low-effect mode [06:38] thet .run driver has some sort of uninstaller i thought. i never use it [06:39] apparently --uninstall [06:39] if you uninstall that .run thing and apt-get remove nvidia-current i think it will go back to using the noveau drivers [06:43] ok, did the remove and uninstall and rebooted [06:43] I can see the launcher but the resolution is stuck at 640x480 [06:43] http://ubuntuone.com/5z9Oo7NyqiRqK1FmW194x3 [06:43] check it out [06:44] wireless doesn't work on xubuntu which upgrade on ubuntu , so I have to use wire connection [06:44] run that monitors/display tool see if you can change res. [06:45] I just did, its stuck at 640x480 [06:45] how do I go back and try Unity again? [06:45] you are using unity. you got a left side panel with ucons? [06:46] yes, I did get a left panel with icons [06:46] list [06:46] what was I using before I switched to lubuntu-desktop [06:46] Zeak: no warez lists here [06:46] Oops, wrong window.

But one little help that i need i think i have messed up the partition table for ubuntu.

[07:10] 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] mikekk91, /msg alis list *zorin* [07:11] http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/08/linux-var-log-files/ mjrosenb... look at item 13 [07:11] ok, thank you!

[07:16] app [07:16] mnathani, you'd use the mini iso for that [07:17] ok, yes I was just here in regards for zorin, but since its ubuntu based, Im sure that ubuntu help could be what I need [07:17] crimsonmane: i do not have AUDIO_TS folder..

[07:46] hi [07:47] mehwork: you probably want the wide variant of ncurses [07:47] mehwork: libncursesw5-dev === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [07:50] mjrosenb: that's not working for me either [07:50] mjrosenb: does it have to be linked differently than gcc -lncurses? [07:51] -lncursesw most likely. [07:51] didnt work [07:52] ncurses is pretty popular, i'm surprised that this stuff doesn't work anymore === Argure|AFK is now known as Argure [07:53] mehwork: what error did it give you when you tried with -lncursesw ? [07:53] mjrosenb: the smae ones [07:53] 'undefined reference to mwprintw', etc [07:53] ow dear. i locked my self out of ssh, no idea how or why...

[08:07] TakeItEz: i have .. but then as soon as subdir's are created they don't have sgid set any more [08:07] it's like you do chmod g+rwxs /bla then mkdir /bla/bla works but mkdir /bla/bla/bla doesn't [08:07] crazyhorse18: you'll need ACLs for that, i guess. sgid only inherits ownership, not permission [08:08] i have auto login enabled, but something is fubar'd causing boot into blackness. is there a key i can press/hold during boot to force it to put me on login screen so i can select a different session?

[08:18] is there a way of making any user that logs in, attempting to mount their samba home directory from another server using the password they tried to login with? All i can find is stuff on mouting the whole /home or doing it with nfs or storing the passwords in a file to be used to mount it [08:18] Smashing: i use kde, although i have a htcp with xbmc autologin, give me a sec, i'll bring it up [08:18] via ssh [08:19] markovh: samba has a special "home" share that can share the users home directory.

[08:23] dr_willis: that's the one [08:23] dr_willis: but not just A share, their home directory [08:23] I have contacted to dell costumer care & Done diagnostic test there is no HW error. Dell technical support person also told that the system temp. will be 70 to 85 C. till 95 C Its not an issue. [08:23] Smashing: i got an idea, hit cntr-alt-f1, login, then key, pkill xbmc , then cntr-alt-f7, that should have you on a login [08:23] already tried that [08:24] ctrl alt f1 does nothing [08:24] dr_willis: unfortunately with libpam-mount, it seems you can kind of do this but it relies on a config stored in the users home directory already (xml thing) [08:24] which can mount a sub directory for them [08:24] Sunilbs1: Well something sounds like it's causing it to overheat [08:24] having the users home on a samba share has a potential for big issues. ;-) [08:25] dr_willis: sure but for now i need to do it [08:25] Smashing: at grub, drop down to terminal [08:25] No Issues with Win 7 & Ubuntu 10.04 === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [08:29] I have installed 10.04 & Upgraded to 12.04.

[08:47] 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] 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] does the nvidia installer support generating proper ubuntu packages?

[09:02] 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] minutes. [09:02] 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? [09:03] I've been having mcelog report bad memory, but I think its soft-offlining of memory…where would I look for more info ?

[09:07] blackshirt: yes [09:08] puff: I think you must be addressing someone else? [09:08] jud: What are you logging into with pidgin? [09:08] jud: Sorry, yeah, that was for RadiumCat. [09:08] AIM [09:08] Blackshirt : Help me? [09:08] Thete: AIM? [09:08] Well, it's telling you the password is incorrect [09:08] That's what pidgin does when it has incorrect login info [09:08] could be the username [09:09] !nagios | mobhero [09:09] I added some up ip addr add (and down) commands to my /etc/network/interfaces. How do I restart networking without rebooting so these take immediate effect? "restart networking" doesn't work, but rebooting does [09:09] mobhero, nagios was great for network monitoring [09:10] Thete: Ok, so I should use a different protocol? [09:10] i'm running 12.10 - when i use something in fullscreen (totem, youtube etc) its still shows the menu bars, how could i change that? [09:10] sunilbs1, i dont know what is your problem [09:10] blashirt: thanks, ill check for nagios. [09:10] mobhero, blackshirt: i'd recommend zabbix way over nagios/ncinga [09:11] mobhero: just for network in/out statistics, vnstat is easier [09:11] hi all! i am using awesome wm and want to bind a bash script to a shortcut; does anybody know how to get this work? thx very much!! === ident is now known as Guest29608 [09:12] takeitEz: but i want to monitor all user network statics.. [09:12] i'm running 12.10 - when i use something in fullscreen (totem, youtube etc) its still shows the menu bars, how could i change that? (running in gnome-classic, as i forgot to mention) [09:13] Thete: it can't be wrong info, I just created it and did not even re-entre it [09:13] I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04. While Installing or while boot the OS from the CD. I am getting error as 'Critical Temperature Reached (84 C) Shutting Down. This is the problem. [09:13] alinmear: man alias in your bash profile [09:14] Sunilbs1: who says that? ubuntu? bios? is your fan working well? [09:14] i get errors while fetching packages for mysql-server http://www.privatepaste.com/1dfd018b1d, can anyone help me out??? [09:14] federated_life: pardon? didnt get the point mate; [09:14] How can I add multiple ipv6 addresses without creating a ton of virtual interfaces? [09:14] Blackshirt: System is getting shutdown automatically this not happening with Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04 [09:15] alinmear: just put your script in /bin if you want to execute it without the path [09:15] or check the man page on alias if your going to edit your bash profile [09:16] Nibbler : Then why its Not Shutting in Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04 [09:17] sunilbs1, check your log, gave you doing it ? [09:17] Sunilbs1, in what phase the system going to down ? [09:17] i get errors while fetching packages for mysql-server http://www.privatepaste.com/1dfd018b1d, can anyone help me out???\ [09:17] While Booting. [09:18] Thete: in the accounts box, I click "add" then create account name and password and click save with "remember name and password" checked. Then at the bottom of the buddy list, it shows the account name and "incorrect password" what gives? [09:18] Not only in my Vastro-1450, Same issue in DV6-2150 [09:19] Does no-one know why, with pidgin on lubuntu 12.10, in the accounts box, I click "add" then create account name and password and click save with "remember name and password" checked. Then at the bottom of the buddy list, it shows the account name and "incorrect password" [09:20] in the latest linux kernel there is a module that looks like it enables ps2 memory card reading, but when installed this kernal wont boot of a flash drive, is there any way i can install just the module to the current kernel? [09:20] ?? [09:20] Thought might be Kernel issue so I have updated my kernel to 3.4 Generic pae... Then also phasing the same proble.. I can only boot with Rescue mode [09:20] In both the laps. [09:21] Is there a update for Pidgin that might fix your issue? [09:24] So you all just pretend to know stuff huh, maintaining a position of heuristic gurudom? [09:25] jud: provoke people into helping you. That's gonna work... [09:25] Im more of a windows user, im just mucking around with a HP netbook running ubuntu [09:25] I only know how to fix basic issues lol [09:26] federated_life: hey mate, thx alot; havent thought about this way [09:27] Alinmear: No Solution? [09:27] Jud: have you tried to remove the Pudgin software and reinstall it? [09:27] somsip: it would seem that the solution is so obvious that I must be a complete nitwit? [09:28] jud: or no one here knows the solution. No need to be paranoid. [09:28] Jud: Make sure your date and time is correct, if it's not some server might not allow you to connect === Youri is now known as YBook [09:28] jud: the "wrong account information" is probably a throwback that more generally means "server wont let you log in". Could be a million reasons. Also, drop the attitude. [09:29] mitchell: thank you [09:30] No problem, I have no idea if it will help but it's worth a shot [09:30] notwist: what might reason number one be? [09:30] Somsip / Mitchell : I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.* & 12. * I am getting the error as 'Critical Temperature Reached (84 C). Shutting Down.. Even same issue While I select "Try Ubuntu with CD' [09:31] You have any Idea [09:31] ? [09:31] 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] Sunilbs1: please do not address issues to me unless I'm already helping you. [09:31] Sunilbs1: Have you dusted out your heatsink? [09:31] notwist: how might you proceed to figure it out? [09:32] 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] Mitchell : No- [09:33] Sunilbs1: Dust it out first, Also check your BIOS to make sure that the temperature is normal [09:34] 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] Mitchell: But there is no issue with Win 7 & Ubuntu 10.04. And the temperature shows 71 C [09:35] I had A02 Ver. of Bois Updated to A08. Same issue in both. [09:35] notwist: ok, thanks, well maybe i should should check the connection settings before redoing stuff. The browser works fine. How would I check the connection settings in pidgin itself do you think? [09:36] Sunilbs1: 71c is too hot, is that in Fahrenheit or Celsius? [09:36] Celsius? [09:36] Its i3 Prcessor [09:36] By any chance are you using an AMD CPU? [09:37] 71c is far to warm for one of those [09:37] hahaha' [09:37] Should be about 35-40c, My i7 cpu runs about 37c [09:38] I have contacted dell cus. care. They told that its in normal condition. [09:38] jud: i just meant you could try another connection, if you have access to another connection or if you can ask a friend to try the same account === albert is now known as Guest24941 [09:38] Core 0 : 42 C , Core 1 : 40 C [09:39] hacker === root is now known as Guest21863 [09:40] notwist: you mean from a different machine? [09:40] Sunilbs1: Seems very unusual, I do know it should not be running at that temp. I would dust out the Heat Sink and CPU fan. Also replace the thermal paste on the CPU as their might be too much or too little applied. Here is a link on how to apply thermal paste: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/How-To-Correctly-Apply-Thermal-Paste/274 [09:41] Thank you Mitchell. I do that. [09:41] Sunilbs1: Sorry i was a little slow to write back. Those temps seem fine. I would try those steps first. [09:43] notwist; i just tried from this machine and the same thing happens so I guess that rules out connection? [09:43] notwist: i just tried from this machine and the same thing happens so I guess that rules out connection? [09:45] notwist: or installation? [09:45] Jud: Is this a MSN account or google talk? Does it allow you in, if you use their on line messaging system? [09:45] Mitchel : There is one more laptop DV6 2150. It has been installed Ubuntu 12.04. After booting in logging time it gets off. In Vostro 10.04 is working fine not facing any problem. Why only with 11.* & 12.* [09:46] Sunilbs1: I don't understand what you mean by "logging time it gets off" [09:48] Sorry after getting the 'Log in' Screen. [09:49] mitchell_: I'm currently talking to you via pidgin on an adjacent machine with karmic. the account has a different protocol, i've noticed. But i was wondering, what if the account i tried set up on the newer OS was already taken. would it always say that it was unavailable? I've tried a couple? [09:49] Sunilbs1: From what I understand your question is your HP laptop logs you off after you try to log in? [09:50] Yes [09:51] Jud: Do you have any proxy settings enabled in the settings? Also did you check your date, time and time zone? [09:51] Ok I will try to Cleanup fan & Apply the heat sink. I will let you know If i face the problem again. Bye [09:53] jud: either it is your account or it is already taken by someone else. you have to know what protocol (xmpp, icq, msn) and what username/password yours are === nitro is now known as Guest66980 [09:54] jud: pidgin is a multiprotocol messenger, so make sure to pick the correct settings when configuring the accounts [09:54] mitchell_: I'll just try to figure that stuff out [09:54] if I wanted to test the old 3.5.0-10 kernel [09:55] where could I find it? [09:55] TakeItEZ: how do I know what the correct settings are? [09:55] jud: you simply have to know it [09:56] TakeItEZ: ? ..how would you figure it out? [09:57] jud: you're kidding? if you already have an account in a network like jabber, you _have to know_ your credentials [09:57] Hi. [09:57] Is there some way to boot the net-installer images in a 80x24 TEXT videomode? [09:57] TakeItEZ: I don't have an account, I'm trying to set one up [09:57] Fluor: hey [09:57] The kernel doesnt seem to accept 'nomodeset' and 'vga=normal' [09:58] jud: what network/protocol? [10:00] jud: not all protocols allow clients to create new accounts, like jabber/xmpp does. make sure to activate "register new account" in the settings-menu [10:00] Jud: I'm going to bed, As a last peace of advise, Try to remove Pudgin and reinstall it via the Ubuntu software center. TakeItEz seems to have the correct advise. Hope you get it sorted:) [10:01] How can I switch between hosts and Citrix on Ubuntu? Shift f2 doesn't work. [10:01] mitchell_: why should one reinstall a package just to create an account? [10:01] TakeItEZ: I'm using a different account currently on a different machine. I don't know how it was set up. I'd like to set up a different account on a different machine with 12.10 freshly installed [10:01] mitchell_:thanks, have a good sleep! [10:03] jud: an account for which network/protocol? [10:03] Takeitez, I must be tired, I thought he was trying to use the same account that is working on another computer on the computer he is trying to set it up on. If it was not allowing him to connect I just rambled some basics off [10:03] Jud: good luck :) [10:04] Mitchell: ? [10:04] TakeItEZ: OK on the screen, I have buddy list and accounts [10:04] mitchell_:tks! [10:05] jud: and if you "add an account" you'll be ask for the protocol this new account should use. so which do you want to use? [10:05] TakeItEZ: I click "+ Add" tab on the accounts window [10:05] be asked* [10:05] 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? [10:06] TakeItEZ: ok this time i've selected IRC because it works on this system [10:09] TakeItEZ: ok, so it was the protocol dude. AIM was the default protocol and it didn't work..why not? [10:10] jud: because it doesn't allow creating new accounts via this client [10:11] TakeItEZ: is trial and error the only way to figure out which clients are allowed? [10:11] ... [10:12] Close your pidgin,remove .pidgin or .purple dir on your home dir and start pidgin again to reconfig from scratch [10:13] 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 [10:14] blackshirt: 12.10 installs it as part of the package..so you're saying I can choose clients in the configuration? [10:14] jud: its not very common to register to a network, "just because the client allows" to do so [10:15] jud: so if your buddies use xmpp, you create a xmpp-account. they use icq, you create an icq-account etc.pp [10:18] if I wanted to test the old 3.5.0-10 kernel, where could I find it [10:18] TakeItEZ: ledg! great, thanks. so, can flash be installed with chromium do you know? [10:18] no idea jud [10:20] Hey, I'm wondering, in ubuntu my network devices get weird names. Instead of "eth0 eth1 and eth2" i have "em0" "eth1" and "p260p1" (only the last one is connected right now) [10:20] Can i somehow configure it to have eth0, eth1, and eth2? [10:21] 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? [10:22] jud: sudo apt-get install firefox === ident is now known as Guest51830 [10:24] TakeItEZ: It's doin it's thing, cool...can I do the same for flash once that's done?

Easy? [11:24] How can I do it? [11:24] Thanks. [11:25] 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] Josssse: take alook at unison. basically it is a 2-way rsync. so snycing the gedit folders could do it [11:25] #sup [11:25] ee12075 are you a bot?

[11:27] Josssse: you could do some fancy linking i guess. [11:27] 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 [11:28] dr_willis, Ahh, good idea. I'm very bad with linking though. I don't even understand too well. [11:28] dan_: you can just use the extended desktop feature and drag the video player over to the 2nd monitor. [11:28] So first thing I must do is find the dictionary file and the snippets file. Any ideas where they might be? [11:29] Nope.

I have got a problem with ndiswrapper on ubuntu 12.10 .. The version 1.57.1 available on the repository will show no module founds [11:38] *found [11:39] I have also tried compiling the latest experimental version available on source force [11:40] the module compiles just fine but whenever I execute sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [11:40] the shell hangs in waiting ... [11:40] anyone ? === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [11:41] other then suggesting to check dmesg output for errors.. I have no idea. ;) [11:41] hey [11:41] I dont use ndiswrapper ;) [11:41] thanks dr_willis [11:41] hey i have xp - Kubuntu dual boot, but how do i get into my pc bios now? [11:41] will give it a shot [11:41] How can I configure my desktop computer so that I can `X :2 -query MyIP` from my other computer? [11:41] jolo1234: same as you always have.. hit some key at bootup normally. the OS shouldent matter [11:42] F1, Del, BS, escape. depends on the maker. [11:42] dr_willis: i don't get the prompt anymore [11:42] mines f2 - f12 [11:42] what prompt? [11:42] bios prompt to hit f12 [11:43] I usually don't either but this pc here has got a built in wireless module which isnt compatible with the linux kernel [11:43] the bios stuff is befor the OS even loads. if you are refering to the 'POST' info screens. [11:43] many modern BIOS'es hide it, you need to hit F12 anyways [11:43] and requires ndiswrapper unfortunately [11:43] power up. tap F12 like a woodpecker... [11:43] HAI. anyone good with shorewall configs and feeling like looking over config files real quick that are made by a complete tool (i.e., me)? :P [11:44] dr_willis: cold boot right? [11:44] jolo1234: shoulent matter [11:45] interesting.... i try again on the weekend, thanks [11:46] !pastebin [11:46] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [11:47] TonyMiii: you can always buy a stand-alone wireless adapter via USB that supports linux [11:48] found a nice USB wifi thang on amazon for $18 that gets amazing range and works with 12.10 with no tweaking. ;) [11:48] actually i found several. ;) [11:49] dr_willis: did it specify that it worked in linux or did you have to google? also theres a lot cheaper adapters than 18 bucks :) [11:50] notwist: i found one for $8 a 'dongle' but this other one for $18 was a usb cable/little box with 2 antennas and it picks up a lot better signal strenth. ;) [11:50] http://is.gd/cV4xM3 $11.20 incl. shipping [11:50] I just searched the comments/review to see what others have had luck with in linux [11:51] ok, cool === Argure is now known as Argure|AFK [11:51] I found a neat 'wifi thing' that you plug into your ethernet port also. :) so the pc things you are wired. but it was like $40 - made for network enabled tvs and consoles. [11:51] it works decently well also. [11:52] dr_willis: cool, that sounds like a kind of simplified router/bridge almost, pretty smart [11:53] notwist: yea thats basically what it was. Ive not really testee how good it pcks up. My 'standard test' plyug it in - see how many of the neighbors wifi's i can detect. ;) [12:00] how do i get X windows on windows with xming ,what i have to change in putty [12:01] samba35: I normally just run the xming 'wizard' and let it use the xmings built in putty client. Or I belive you run the xming server, then run putty and you have to check/enable the x forwarding in the putty clients settings [12:01] but you dont need to use putty by itself. ;) You could use the xming wizard and have it run gnome-terminal for example [12:02] if you wanted a terminal [12:02] ok === jack is now known as Guest55285 === Guest55285 is now known as JPSman [12:04] i have wizard can you pleae tell me how do i follow it [12:04] Hey there. So I am using 12.04 and I uninstalled Unity. How can I host a VNC remote desktop? I can't find the old "Remote Desktop" option at all in the menus. [12:05] samba35: i dont recall it being that hard .. enter the ip of the server. tell it to run gnome-terminal. ... hit nexct a lot ;) [12:05] ok === Argure|AFK is now known as Argure [12:06] JPSman: you can install 'vnc4server' or 'tightvnc' and have seperate 'hidden' vnc desktops you connec tto. that are not shared on the 'local' display. or use a vnc server like x11vnc to share the current display [12:06] how can I configure my desktop computer to accept remote X sessions? I can log to localhost, but I can't log from remote computers in my network... [12:07] I'm using lightdm [12:07] juboba: You mean connect to a remote pc from a local one at the lightdm login screen? [12:07] like was done ages ago via xdmcp and the X query feature? [12:08] how can i insert a cron from a script.. [12:08] crontab -e echo "cron entry" wq! [12:08] cron entr* [12:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/66431/how-do-i-configure-lightdm-to-work-with-xdmcp [12:09] dr_willis, yes [12:10] dr_willis, I want to configure my desktop computer so that I can log from another computer [12:10] I tried that dr_willis but I can log from localhost only [12:11] you did enable the xdmcp thing on the machine you are trying to log into? [12:11] not the local machine. [12:11] dr_willis, in lightdm? [12:11] yes [12:12] thats what the guides say.. ive not messed withj xdmcp in ages [12:13] i dont even recall seeing where you tell lightdm to scan/query for what machines exist on the lan [12:16] night all.. [12:21] good night dr_willis ... [12:22] Is there any good way to undo a upgrade? [12:23] darksim, i have no idea [12:25] Thank dr_willis this is working for me now :OD === odifis is now known as oDiafanos [12:26] 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] So I have to reinstall the OS again, pff. I will lose all my data again :/ [12:26] and I can't figure out how to restart the window manager in 12.04 or x for that matter [12:27] 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 [12:28] I don't know why it is working right now, but apparently I was able to get to xchat [12:29] 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 [12:32] 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] or rather on this install [12:35] 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 [12:37] Is there any way to check wether or not which programs I can save before I reinstall Ubuntu_ [12:38] DarkSim, you mean what prograks are installed or what? [12:38] Because when I installed last time I made sure I had a partition where I would put all programs and files [12:39] but it doesnt seem like Ubuntu put anything there to begin with, so I guess I have to overwrite everything now [12:39] DarkSim, if reinstalling you leave your home directory your user-specific settings are kept [12:39] if these are made during 12.10 and I install 12.04 would those still work? [12:40] 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? [12:41] 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] hi [12:41] DarkSim, if the partitions are made they can be used asgain, but you would not want to leave progrqams there [12:42] This is the first time I've ever considered using Linux. Would you give me one piece of advice? [12:43] whats the difference between the noveau driver vs the nvidia driver 3.04? [12:43] TedU: Stock up some patience, it will be needed [12:44] hi there [12:44] I believe I should buy a cheap used computer, so that I can take my time getting it going [12:44] probably a good idea [12:44] datruth, the closed source driver gives you 3d [12:44] TedU, not a bad idea [12:45] Does it matter if it's a Dell, HP, Gateway or maybe even Generic? [12:45] rifter: so the closed source driver nvidia 3.04 gives me 3d and noveau does not? [12:45] datruth, it also has some other proprietary features I can't think of right now [12:45] 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] datruth, noveau used not to give you 3d.. I think it still doesn't [12:46] rifter: proprietary features in the nvidia driver 3.04 or noveau? [12:46] 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] rifter: gotcha [12:46] cal [12:46] datruth, the closed source one gives proprietary features, yeah [12:46] Does ubuntu boot without an xorg.conf? [12:46] People, someone knows how i can do script for example sudo apt-get ... and do it automatic? sending password [12:46] TedU, no it should not matter, especially with a desktop [12:47] 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] TedU, laptops can be tricky, but brand doesn't matter there, either.. it's a matter of what is supported on it [12:47] Time to reinstall whole OS again :( [12:47] really anyone cant help me? [12:47] hii everyone [12:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416741/ [12:48] datruth, it defaults to not having an xorg.conf I believe [12:48] why 1700 people there if nobodys want help? [12:48] sergii: whats your issue ? how can we help you ? [12:49] datruth, I'm not sure about getting your screen brightness keys on your keyboard working.... never been down that road [12:49] i pm u [12:49] OK ! Thanks for the advice ! I guess I can find a cheapy somewhere. Hell, I pulled this unit out of a dumpster a few years ago ! Happy Holidays ! [12:49] Bye [12:49] sergii, what did you need help with? [12:49] lcabreza2 I open PM [12:50] with [12:50] EXPECT or something [12:50] plarp [12:50] to help auto response [12:50] i wanna do this on bash script: sudo apt-get .... [12:50] i've problem with my device [12:50] bluetooth device [12:50] sergil what are you starting? [12:50] I want to do it automatic, sending password [12:51] sergil you need expect to send passwiords [12:51] ye i know [12:51] but i cant do it [12:51] dont works [12:51] :S [12:51] sergii: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416749/ [12:51] sergil you can change /etc/sudoers to not require one, or use ssh with keys [12:52] i should do it with expect [12:52] but i cant write command with expect [12:52] 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] can I install a package for ubuntu precise on ubuntu quantal? [12:53] sergii, there's some info on expect online, and an oreilly book.. I think it is called exploring expect [12:53] oks [12:53] mi console returns this: [12:53] invalid command name "sudo" while executing "sudo mkdir abrirrrrr" (file "./aja.sh" line 3) [12:54] 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] should i install new kernel [12:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416749/ [12:54] sergii, that's weird.. maybe sudo is not in the path at that point? it works from the command line right? [12:55] sec [12:55] is there a channel for SYSRESCCD? [12:55] nsahoo, poaaibly. depends on the package, and mixing versions can have funny results [12:56] Hey all [12:56] I dont know because i dont know how it should be writed, i tryed as i found on internet [12:56] but nothings works [12:56] sergii: sorie i can't help you ..

And finally, if you're trying to click a graphical application, you can run "xkill" and then just click on the application [15:56] 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] bibi23: k [15:58] I am trying to setup grub from a live cd. However, 'grub' from a terminal says "command not found". Am I not supposed to be able to run grub from a live cd? [15:59] i tried to kill a process not once but many times just wonderin after ityped sudo kill PID the process itself gone for just a seconds then came back again :( [15:59] lab, grub-install /dev/sdX [15:59] lab, oh wait [15:59] lab, by trying to setup you mean you are trying to modify existing grub or want to restore lost grub? [15:59] 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) [16:00] lab, you are delted linux and want only windows then restore windows mbr? [16:00] W|cKeD: What process? [16:01] b14d3, .ruby.bin [16:01] hi, I installed ubuntu on a vm. I alo installed samba during the installation. now I can't find /etc/init.d/samba, i just can find /etc/init.d/smbd but I don't know if this is a shortcut for samba. [16:01] 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 [16:02] I am having an issue where all my windows are going grey, I can't access them, click on anything. Mouse still moves and I can CTRL+ALT F2 to get a terminal to sudo reboot. It just happens suddenly in Ubuntu 3d, not in 2d (so far) [16:02] Xotix: smbd is the right directory, if memory serves. It's not a shortcut, they just changed some of their local software infrastructure. [16:03] Xotix type file [filename] to find if it's a shortcut [16:03] lab, I am not sure if you can really install and use grub without /boot partition of linux. ask for help in ##windows [16:03] find out* [16:04] MonkeyDust ubuntu server 12.10 64, where can I look up the changes? it links to /lib/init/upstart-job [16:05] I am having an issue where all my windows are going grey, I can't access them, click on anything. Mouse still moves and I can CTRL+ALT F2 to get a terminal to sudo reboot. It just happens suddenly in Ubuntu 3d, not in 2d (so far)...my System has been working fine for over 5 months or so but (I think after an update) my system started doing this. [16:06] Xotix you mean a 'what's new' review, or see what files have changed?

[16:39] Dougie187 try #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support [16:39] ok [16:40] hello all [16:41] question [16:42] 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? [16:43] chipcash a live session? [16:43] Live? [16:44] sorry I am new to this [16:44] if it's a live session, it's saved until you reboot [16:44] oic [16:44] Is there ant way of saving files to the flash? [16:44] chipcash, depends. If you created it with "persistence" it will store them on the drive i guess... somewhere.. [16:45] What is persistance? [16:45] chipcash, or just mount any other partition (that isn't a ramdisk) and save the file there [16:45] chipcash did you select 'try ubuntu' when you booted? [16:45] yes [16:46] chipcash ok, then it's live and not saved on the flash drive [16:46] I want to use the flash as my computer [16:46] MonkeyDust, are you sure? [16:47] rumpe1 try it, you'll see, you can save it to some other place, tho [16:47] If I select default will it save it? [16:47] I guess I should get a cloud account [16:48] chipcash as rumpe1 said, guess you want 'persisent install' on the usb drive [16:48] hipitihop, I want to know if anyone is being asked for admin password in order to install updates through update manager [16:48] how do I persitance install? I used Unetbootin [16:48] kapz yes, it's normal === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [16:49] I like the idea of carring my personal PC hardrive around in a flash drive [16:49] chipcash https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:49] thank you [16:50] 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. [16:51] kapz two thoughts: 1- in a live session, the passowrd isnt asked 2- someone may have disabled the password for allt things apt [16:52] 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] kapz and yes, the repos are safe (be careful if you install from outside the repos) [16:52] MonkeyDust, eliminate scenario no.1 and 2. I am the sole user. [16:53] oh okay that's what I wanted to know, thanks MonkeyDust :) [16:53] kapz then it's odd it shouldnt ask for a password [16:53] ok :) [16:53] yeah it is odd indeed. [16:54] LLL Long Live Linux [16:55] hi [16:56] dependency libx264-120 is not satisfiable <<<<<<<<<<<<--------- installing splashtop on 12.10 [16:56] how do i fix this? [16:57] hi, very neat. ubuntu is greatly succeeding in pissing me off [16:57] Besides the major instability - which all people i know experience - The Installation is a chaos since 12.10. When I am booting the Setup stick nothing more than a slice of the desktop screen shows up... i.e.: a slice of monitor width and approx. 10 pixels height... is there a workaround for this? [16:57] i've problem with my ubuntu device [16:57] shadow98: Try sudo apt-get install libx264-120 [16:57] ok.it now works [16:57] bluetooth device [16:57] i think the kernel module not loaded [16:58] is the hardware not supported [16:58] asus a43sj [16:58] b14d3: Unable to locate package libx264-120 [16:59] shadow98: Alright, one sec let me take a look at something [17:00] mysterious, make sure your monitor is plugged in properly. [17:01] DrManhattan, it is i have checked it ~5times - anyways it's a dualboot system and windows is running well [17:01] b14d3: thanks [17:01] shadow98: Going to take a shot in the dark, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libx264-120 [17:01] Guys, how to install Boost c++ library? :/ I have install it, but when I try to compile some example code from boost.org, with g++ -lboost_regex example.cpp -o boost .. I've got mass of errors ://// [17:01] I don't know how to be with it :( [17:02] I have install it via bootstrap.sh [17:02] mysterious, that is a mystery indeed! what GPU? [17:02] b14d3: same thing...i know this worked on 12.04 [17:03] DrManhattan, It is a GeForce 8800GTS 640MB RAM and has worked very well up to 12.04 [17:03] woozly: you can find the boost libraries in the repositories. You can install them with apt. I'm not sure what you did to install them, but if you didn't use apt, you should probably undo it [17:03] asus a4sj with windows* with BT work, but not with 10.04 LTS [17:04] mysterious, on my 570, 12.04 works great with the exception of having no output between the grub menu and the first login prompt [17:04] Maybe this is the death knell for nouveau, the driver from hades [17:05] :/ [17:05] mysterious: is there a reason you're doing a fresh install instead of upgrading, or did I misunderstand you? [17:05] * DrManhattan takes nouveau for a talk behind the woodshed [17:05] jrib, in fact i had to change the hdd and wanted to have it fresh [17:06] ^^ [17:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UtNF-Le2L0 - Full version of Break The Taboo -- narrated by Morgan Freeman -- documentary to end the war on drugs [17:06] !ot | aguadito [17:06] aguadito: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

But if you just want to get an install on there, you might use the minimal install cd, then throw in ubuntu-desktop. Afterwards, you might still have issues with your screen, but you can work on troubleshooting from an already installed system [17:07] hi all, i'm having a problem with the =emacsclient= command in the shell. I have ubuntu 12.04, with emacs 23 running and server mode switched on. When I call emacsclient from the bash shell, it throws up and error message: "emacsclient: command not found". [17:07] [17:08] shadow98: That's really bizarre. What did you say the software you were trying to install again was? [17:10] mysterious: there's also some option you can select when the install cd is first starting, but I forget how. [17:11] hm [17:11] wow, netflix seems to run on Ubuntu now [17:11] compdoc yes, but with wine, IIRC [17:11] no, without wine [17:11] jrib, i think i'll try an alternate cd (it was completely textbased (terminal based) wasn't it?) [17:12] mysterious: it doesn't exist anymore :) But you can use the minimal or server [17:12] ;_; what are the developers doing [17:12] !nomodeset | mysterious [17:12] mysterious: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [17:12] mysterious: try that [17:12] jrib, ok [17:13] mysterious: some pretty pictures here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing [17:13] have you people tried sn0wl1nux [17:13] !ot | bjorn_ [17:13] opinions?

[17:13] ooops - maybe it is wine [17:13] ok [17:16] 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] jrib, :D nomodeset did the trick [17:17] mysterious: cool [17:17] 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* [17:18] jrib: it returns the following (in green text): "/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23" [17:19] Hiro`: interesting. When you do "hash -r" in your shell, followed by "emacslcient", what happens? [17:20] jrib: it returns: emacsclient: command not found [17:20] [17:20] Hiro`: reinstall the emacs23-bin-common [17:20] package [17:21] Guys, I have manually remove some apt-get installed packages... and Now I want to reinstall it, but apt-get says, like: newest version installed (but I haven't it) [17:21] how I can remove info about installed packages [17:22] jrib: Sorry, I am very new to ubuntu and the shell. the command I want is: sudo apt-get reinstall emacs23-bin-common? [17:22] Hiro` type emacs, see what it shows [17:22] Hiro`: yes, that should work [17:22] is there anybody who knows something about vpn server's? especially with openvpn? [17:22] MonkeyDust: emacs works fine. I'm using it right now as an irc client. [17:22] i need help with configuring openvpn [17:23] 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 [17:24] 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 [17:26] 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] [17:26] Hiro`: do apt-get install --reinstall [17:28] jrib: it returns: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [17:28] 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] Hiro`: sorry, I meant: apt-get install --reinstall emacs23-bin-common [17:29] dballester: ubuntu uses upstart and mysql is an upstart script [17:29] !upstart | dballester [17:29] 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/ [17:30] dballester: you can read about disabling services in upstart at: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files [17:30] ok, that means that we have a mix of old/new ways to manage the auto startup of "services"? [17:30] 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] 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. [17:32] 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. [17:33] jrib: that seems to have done it!

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] manager. Any solution?

[18:10] 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] how do i prevent aptd from running at startup? [18:11] almoxarife, is this 'tool' only present in unity? [18:11] Erin: no idea [18:11] 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] rlsj99: janisozaur i think it's in /etc/init , read about upstart jobs [18:11] almoxarife, it talks about it being present in 'dash' which is unity tigt ? [18:11] Why must Burg be such a gosh darn pain to install :/ [18:12] rlsj99: i've also removed network manager because i don't like programs taking to much control of things [18:13] rlsj99: i'll check for you [18:14] Sta1ker, "sudo grep -rnE \\\ /etc/ 2> /dev/null" finds nothing [18:14] 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. [18:15] janisozaur: i think it's started by d-bus [18:16] rlsj99: thats exactly why i remove half of the things, we should start working on an vintage-linux distro [18:17] 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] rlsj99: exactly as almoxarife says [18:18] 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. [18:19] does anyone know where i can ask for openvpn issues? [18:19] rlsj99: they're working on weyland now it's a complete new desktop or something similar [18:20] rlsj99: a sane alternative is 'wicd' , but if you are hardwired you dont need any of it [18:20] rlsj99: what is wrong with the manual side of things without nm? [18:20] 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] 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? [18:21] rlsj99: i have home lan, works fine [18:21] !openvpn | mindbreaker [18:21] 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] rlsj99: i get everything working with pull and wifi radar [18:22] almoxareife: Do any of the other machines on your network run a Windows OS? === Apocalipstick is now known as shojo [18:24] gnuradio halts on test number 54 does anybody knows why? [18:24] 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] There we go, finally fixed my burg, hopefully it works now when I reboot [18:25] rlsj99: type 'almo' hit tab, life should be simpler [18:25] 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. [18:26] rlsj99: does this machine get ip from router via dhcp? bet it does [18:27] It does now. I've been trying for several hours to install static IP. None of the directions work for that either. [18:27] 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 [18:28] rlsj99: i dont see where the issue is, you know how to set static at the router and at the machine [18:28] rlsj99: you can make #service network-manager stop [18:28] Sta1ker: DNS works fine, along with Internet access, with DHCP. It's the local area network that is intolerable. [18:28] rlsj99: then try to run it again [18:28] Hola! [18:29] rlsj99: my network is completely custom and nm couldn't figure out what's going on [18:29] 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] 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] rlsj99: the router is that thing that manages the local network, i really dont get what you are so confused about [18:29] has anybody set up a linux font server to serve fonts to a mac/pc blended environment? [18:30] almoxarife: (thanks for Tab tip) It's not an access issue at the router. This is a _wired_ connection, no security involved. [18:31] 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] rlsj99: i didnt mention security, STATIC ip is as easy as a DHCP reservation at the ROUTER! [18:31] rlsj99: did you try to login as root to ubuntu [18:31] tl;dr - my laptop appears to have crashed while upgrading from 11.10 to 12.4, what do I do now? [18:31] 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] rlsj99: you are talking in circles now, good luck [18:32] v0lksman: because it's gnome 3 [18:32] 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] almoxarife: static at the router? [18:32] rlsj99: Back up a step, what are you trying to do? [18:32] puff: mac reservation by router, yes, mine does [18:33] Sta1ker: is there a new tool then? [18:33] +++++++++++++ [18:34] v0lksman: i don't know maybe gsettings or gconftool [18:34] 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] hey guys hows your day going [18:35] oh you gotta love moby ,he does bring heart to the world of dance music [18:35] almoxarife: Ah, yeah, assigning IPs by MAC at the router works, but I wouldn't call that static IP. [18:35] especially 3 steps [18:36] rlsj99: Yeah, that does sound suck. And this is on a wired connection? [18:36] anyway is their any way of automatically mounting a hdd without ... you know [18:36] rlsj99: I had huge problems at one point, then I realized somebody had helpfully placed a sheet of corrugated metal in between my laptop and the AP... [18:36] How come when i start my ubuntu up, my window manager istn started and i have to start it manually with alt-f2 each time? [18:37] 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] 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] Hey all, I'm running 10.04 on an old laptop. This hard drive was transferred from another, older laptop, and ubuntu wasn't reinstalled fro the new laptop- so I just loaded this laptop with the older laptop's hard drive, plug and play. It's been acting like it's shutting down, something about "hangcheck failed" in small text in the top left corner pops up, and then it says "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode". After rebooting, everything works fine, [18:37] but it'll happen again the next day. Any insight? [18:38] ok no chance of help then [18:38] i know it was fstab or somthing === Guest43498 is now known as McPeter [18:39] media-centre: how about you google search "how to automatically mount drive in linux" [18:39] there's 12390812301 guides [18:40] whats wrong with asking here [18:40] it is a help channel isnt it [18:40] media-centre: yes, but you're gonna get it done faster by googling [18:40] and its trivial [18:40] hes right [18:40] if you try a guide and it doesnt work, then ask here [18:40] but google first [18:40] + linux helps those who help themselves [18:40] ^^^^^^^ [18:40] the whole learn to fish principal [18:41] Erin: thumbs up [18:41] seriously automount w/ fstab is like one line in one file [18:41] why dont i just ask here skip the time wasting dissapointment [18:41] easy peezy lemon squeezy ;-p [18:41] Hi. Does anyone know what to do if I get "unable to open display :0.0" ? [18:41] that may be [18:41] are there any devs around that can help me understand the exact steps that are taken when you select "Apply proxy settings system-wide" under network settings? I am trying to create a script to do this dynamically and I would like to know owhat system settings it modifies. Thanks. [18:41] media-centre, if you can't figure out how to mount in fstab you are not going to get far in linux sorry but i'm not gonna sugar coat it for you === ahayweh_ is now known as ahayweh [18:42] so its still fstab then [18:42] yes... always has been afaik [18:42] anything different layout wise [18:42] lol uay im unbanned [18:42] or is it still the same [18:42] media-centre, ...... [18:42] phunyguy_work: what are you trying to do? [18:42] phunyguy_work: did you heared about tor? [18:43] Stalker, run a script (in KDE, not Unity) to change the proxy settings when my VPN is connected, and get rid of them when not. [18:43] phunyguy_work: ^hear [18:43] and I would like it ti mimick what Unity does when you hit that button. [18:43] to* [18:44] i think it's a env variable [18:44] !fstab | media-centre [18:44] media-centre: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:44] Stalker, I thought the same thing, but there are also changed settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf - etc [18:44] thats how you auto mount drives [18:44] IdleOne, im unbanned ? [18:44] phunyguy_work: check what happens in printenv in each occasion [18:44] so I was looking for a list. [18:44] Stalker, some apps have different places to look for settings. [18:45] how do i remove grub [18:45] phunyguy_work: yeah [18:45] Daxter, he knows he just doesn't want to spend the 5 mins to figure out how to do it himself he wants someone to spoon feed him the answer which we all refused to do. [18:45] When will the new stable nVidia driver come to Ubuntu 12.10? :( [18:45] so you dont know if its the same layout on 12 as opposed to 11 or 10 [18:45] ok ill ask if i need help [18:45] Erin: i did the ubottu tibit so that the wiki can spoon feed him the answer. problem solved. [18:46] phunyguy_work: then it probably depends on the program you are using [18:46] Daxter, touche [18:46] Erin: ? [18:46] Daxter, as in 'good point' [18:46] 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] oh [18:46] 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] KDE doesnt have a button like that. [18:46] we just told him to google which also has the info 10M times over [18:47] phunyguy_work: maybe in gsettings? [18:47] 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] thats how I learned the first time [18:47] Stalker, I doubt it. It modifies configs also. [18:47] bulletrulz: come to #ubuntu-ops for a moment please [18:47] I dont wanna know what is stored in gsettings, I want to know what it is /actually/ doing. [18:47] phunyguy_work: try #gsettings list-recursively | grep -i proxy [18:48] Stalker, that information is not useful. [18:48] I want to know what the DAEMON that monitors those settings does WITH the settings. === MaynardWater is now known as MaynardWaters [18:49] so I can put it in a script to run as a service. [18:49] "if this address isnt pingable, set up VPN and change proxy to this" [18:49] get what I mean? [18:49] 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 [18:50] phunyguy_work: i get you [18:50] 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] as well as apt-get having to work. [18:50] phunyguy_work, are you trying to setup TOR ? [18:50] Erin, no. [18:51] phunyguy_work: you can do what i did [18:51] Just want some privacy when on the road and connected through mcdonalds or whatever. [18:51] with zero interaction when I connect. [18:51] I already have the VPN automatically come up when away from home, and be down when at home. [18:51] hi did anyone here successfully have office2007 installed on wine in xubuntu 12.04? [18:51] when at home I dont want it to proxy. [18:51] phunyguy_work: setup privoxy to always connect to your proxy and set a quick proxy button in your browser [18:51] when away I want it to proxy. thats all. [18:52] phunyguy_work: that is what i'm doing [18:52] and what is playon? is it better than wine? [18:52] Stalker you misunderstood "zero interaction" [18:52] phunyguy_work: lol [18:52] aand its more than just browsing. [18:52] i want to mimick the apply system-wide button behavior. === jayne_ is now known as Guest38398 [18:52] Hi, 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 [18:52] thats all. [18:53] playonlinux or wine? which one is better ? [18:53] !poll kelvinella [18:53] doh [18:53] !poll | kelvinella [18:53] kelvinella: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. === andrea is now known as Guest45037 [18:54] phunyguy_work: what about doing something with nmap to detect your enviroment and then make a script that changes the variables [18:54] Stalker because a simple variable change wont change the apt.conf file, or anythign else that needs to be changed. [18:54] wgetrc, etc === guampa_ is now known as guampa [18:54] they have their own configs. === richard is now known as Guest39848 [18:54] Okay, so nobody has any idea what the hangcheck error is about? [18:55] which is why I asked if there was a complete list of what is changed when you hit that button [18:56] because it is more than just variables. [18:56] woah, you can ban by mac address? [18:56] phunyguy_work: what variables do you know about? What changes do you know about that are not variables? [18:56] WhereIsMySpoon: ipv6 [18:56] jrib: ah, was a little confused lol [18:56] jrib, apt.conf, wgetrc.conf - etc [18:56] i am unaware of anything else which is why I ask. [18:56] Hi, 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 [18:57] phunyguy_work: what gui tool are you using that modifies apt.conf? [18:57] and how does that button make the changes dynamic. usually with the variable and config change you have to reload some stuff. === PaloDelCalo is now known as duramente [18:57] jrib, System Settings? [18:57] phunyguy_work: it must be an envirometal variable or gsettings variable. that's how it works. [18:57] phunyguy_work: you could always read the source code [18:58] jrib, I could, if I knew where to get to that spot. [18:58] WhereIsMySpoon It's amazing what we can do with technology now, isn't it? ;-D [18:58] Stalker again, variables wont help. [18:58] phunyguy_work: wget looks for protocol_proxy variable and so on [18:58] hidn_shadows: except it wasnt a mac ban and i was wrong [18:58] :D [18:58] but never mind [18:59] Whereismyspoon Eh, oh well. No harm [18:59] phunyguy_work: I guess I'd start at gnome-control-center [18:59] xD [18:59] 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. [19:00] I already have the logic needed to figure out whether or not the proxy needs to be established, I just need to know how to actually establish it. [19:00] anyone have experience with gma500 ?

More sarcasm and personal grumbles with past experiences [19:12] |Anthony|, not really. that's a driver issue, an alsa one [19:12] <|Anthony|> i apologize [19:12] :P [19:13] remove pulseaudio and use alsa [19:13] pulse is a pile of crap [19:13] <|Anthony|> ^ i see im not alone with prior experience [19:13] WhereIsMySpoon: please be quiet unless you actually have something useful to add [19:13] in my experience anyhow [19:13] this isn't your experience [19:13] this is help the guy with HIS problem [19:13] yes it is [19:13] oh sorry [19:13] i thought you meant something else ^^ [19:13] rather than just randomly blame pulse as you've had a bad experience [19:14] 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] ikonia: sorry :) [19:16] <|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] 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] Mukhthar_Ahmed, you are already using alsa [19:16] 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] |Anthony| yup windows works fine, live cd works fine [19:16] WhereIsMySpoon, yes [19:17] <|Anthony|> so this is an issue of spontaneous jack detection [19:17] it don't know jack [19:17] lol [19:17] i dont see how this can be a hardware issue [19:17] |Anthony| i am sure its not the jack issue [19:18] 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] |Anthony| i just downloaded a video file and works fine so the issue is not with all the files [19:18] that doesnt mean it has anything to do with files [19:18] No handlers could be found for logger "e3.common.Config" [19:18] 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" [19:19] |Anthony| audio is not working on virtual machine too [19:19] <|Anthony|> Mukhthar_Ahmed, separate issue [19:19] okay [19:19] aramudi: is there a question there? if so, please elaborate [19:19] 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 [19:20] emese opening from the command window [19:20] |Anthony| all the time [19:20] aramudi: https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/464 https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/283 [19:20] !xconsole [19:20] aramudi: https://github.com/emesene/emesene/issues/934 [19:20] installed vlc and had no sound [19:21] 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] 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] when I open the window and I connect emesene desapareze window and sends me error that command in Terminal. [19:22] have you got ANY reason to suspect this is pulse ? [19:22] |Anthony| how to clear the history [19:22] aramudi: are you using 2.11.11? [19:22] 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 & [19:23] godbod: it should be created by udev [19:23] 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] |Anthony|: no, sorry that's just nonsense [19:24] <|Anthony|> it's really not though. do your homework on the subject. [19:24] |Anthony|: it really is [19:24] even if pulise is a more common problem than alsa, just stating "remove pulse" is unacceptable [19:24] nose that version, I can see how emesene version I have installed? [19:25] you have no reason beyond you've had a bad experience to suggest that [19:25] ikonia: reinstalling ubuntu is a common response by ops and voices here for issues, why not a simple package reinstall? [19:25] WhereIsMySpoon: no it's not [19:25] and if it is, it's not just a random "re-install ubuntu" [19:26] there is normally a technical reason for it [19:26] you're just saying "try this random package" [19:26] 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] besides, its not as if you purge it you can never have it again [19:26] WhereIsMySpoon: no, but it is intergrated, so removing it for no reason does not seem a sane approach [19:26] 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] (offtopic) Propably you already know it: http://goo.gl/kyuO7 [19:26] if there is something pointing at this being pulise, I can see your point [19:27] HumanBeing: don't post it then [19:27] ikonia: if pulse is removed and the problem still exists, its alsa [19:27] |Anthony|: there's some relevant discussion here: http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/apbs03.html#tab:mask [19:27] you can diagnose which is the problem [19:27] WhereIsMySpoon: if pulse is remove it doesn't mean alsa is the problem [19:27] Hey guys, how can I give other users sudo privs but allow me to still alter their home directories? [19:27] Hello. I have a question: how allow connect only for sites in list on ubuntu? [19:27] <|Anthony|> thank you jrib [19:27] How do i restart the network manager from console? [19:28] fas: giving someone sudo privileges will not effect their home directory permissions [19:28] diverdude: do you want to restart net man or networking in general? [19:28] fas its because the network gui is broken [19:28] ikonia: so, I have do chmod their home or chown? [19:29] fas: giving someone sudo permissions has nothing to do with their home directory permissions [19:29] fas: you don't have to touch any file system permissions [19:29] |Anthony|: B.3.4.2. Application of Default ACLs, especially section 3 in there [19:29] ikonia: I just tried to cat > to their home but it didn't allow it [19:29] fas: that has nothing to do with sduo [19:30] diverdude: can you just kill the process [19:30] <|Anthony|> thank you jrib [19:30] jrib: good url find [19:30] <|Anthony|> fas might want to take note of the link jrib pointed out [19:30] ikonia: I understand, I'm still a noob with linux permissions === xander_ is now known as Guest46538 [19:30] <|Anthony|> agreed ikonia ^5 to jrib [19:30] fas: ok, but sudo / file system permissions are totally seperate things === Guest33898 is now known as hashiish [19:31] Now to install ubuntu rom on android. Anyone play with emulater? [19:31] |Anthony|: man 5 acl, says something similar about modes, but I only understood it after reading the url :P [19:31] thanks |Anthony| [19:32] fas: I don't think you need ACLs for what you asked. If you yourself have sudo, you can do whatever you want [19:32] How block access to all sites, and allow to sites in list? [19:33] <|Anthony|> fas, maybe you could condense that link into a concise answer for the askubuntu post so the community can benefit from it ;) [19:34] <|Anthony|> er sorry jrib [19:35] 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 [19:35] heoyea: i made up ssh connection between android and laptop over wifi......but i changed the port in sshd_conf file from default 22 to 2222 and it connected fine but the problem is now i changed the ports back to 22 from 2222 so it must not connect over port 2222 but it is connecting over it and not 22 ?? why so ? [19:35] oy vey [19:36] <|Anthony|> WhereIsMySpoon, did you install Xubuntu, or xfce on Ubuntu? [19:36] |Anthony|: xubuntu [19:36] <|Anthony|> mmm [19:37] is there any difference between installing xubuntu and installing xfce on ubuntu ? [19:37] myhero: xfce is the window manager, xubuntu is a distro [19:37] <|Anthony|> does it failsafe to busybox [19:37] myhero: you can use xfce on debian, for example [19:37] |Anthony|: no, i just get a gui wit no window managwer [19:37] <|Anthony|> oh that's fun [19:37] |Anthony|: usual things like windows pinned to top left, no titel bars etc [19:38] <|Anthony|> right [19:38] alt-f2 and xfwm4 works [19:38] but i have to do that every time [19:38] which is annoying [19:38] WhereIsMySpoon: but xfce contains all the xubuntu apps so its like a full xubuntu session so like a single session xubuntu ? [19:38] myhero: xubuntu comes with a lot less bloat [19:38] hmm [19:38] xubuntu is basically a stripped down version of ubuntu [19:38] how do i remove deb package that won't let me use -r command [19:39] <|Anthony|> WhereIsMySpoon, and i suppose you've tweaked it around a bit so you'd rather not unistall/reinstall xfce [19:39] |Anthony|: actually ive done zippo tweaking [19:39] <|Anthony|> so purge it [19:39] i liek it as it is [19:39] does editing with gconf-editor require system restart [19:40] WhereIsMySpoon: ok.....and how do i remove dependencies when removing any app....coz apt-get remove or purge only removes app and not its dependencies ? [19:40] dpkg -r Splashtop_Streamer_Ubuntu_v2.0.0.11_i386.deb <<<<<<<<<<<<<<--------dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [19:40] <|Anthony|> bbl [19:40] myhero: sudo apt-get autoremove [19:42] myhero: and sudo apt-get install -f for resolving missing deps :) === Youri is now known as YBook [19:42] WhereIsMySpoon: currently when doing apt-get -h it says segmentation error ?

[19:43] myhero: that means theres a null reference somewhere [19:43] WhereIsMySpoon: how to fix it ? [19:43] which means that either you're giving me erroneous info or your apt is broken [19:43] WhereIsMySpoon: i was installing and playing with openssh [19:43] does editing with gconf-editor require system restart [19:43] myhero: ok? [19:44] myhero: give full console output [19:44] WhereIsMySpoon: but now how to fix that segmentation thing ? [19:45] myhero: give me full console output of the command which gives seg error [19:45] WhereIsMySpoon: well i exited that terminal session and started a new one but still the same segmentation error.....how to recover old terminal msgs ?

[19:47] install in seperately? [19:47] it* [19:47] t432: You'd have to uninstall and install seperately, yes [19:47] fas, and how do i restart it again? [19:47] WhereIsMySpoon: thats it.....just apt-get -h and then output segmentation fault [19:47] myhero: might be a corrupted apt cache [19:47] WhereIsMySpoon: how to fix it ? [19:47] sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin [19:48] make a backup [19:48] i dunno how useful apt caches are [19:48] but always make backup before you delete system files [19:48] Those arent system files at all. [19:48] ok....how to make backup ? [19:48] I loved Ubuntu while I tried it. Never had a problem and so easy to use [19:48] cp ? [19:48] myhero: ye [19:48] k [19:48] bekks: apt is a system tool [19:49] bekks: i just meant files that are used by system tools [19:49] WhereIsMySpoon: Then never delete any files, since they are allon your system ;) [19:49] bekks: always make backups before you delete? sure [19:49] /var/cache/apt is a cache - and safe to remove. [19:49] sounds good to me [19:49] bekks: thats what i thought [19:49] i was just being catious [19:49] cautious* [19:49] Or even use apt-get clean [19:50] i dont like apt just giving "seg fault" if the cache is corrupted tho xD [19:50] it should give some sort of useful error message :p [19:50] what is the problem in this apt-get source ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1417512/ [19:50] WhereIsMySpoon: it gives some input output error....

I was trying that command till 3 hours before but now does not work any more .. is there a way that I can specify a mirror to apt-get source ? [19:53] Hanumaan: Just select another mirror on synaptic, e.g. [19:53] Hanumaan: it tells you in that output what mirror to use [19:53] just change it in sources.list [19:54] why are there 3 floodbots btw?

[20:11] myhero_: if you were doing mkdir in /etc or wherever, you'd need sudo [20:11] yea...my bad....i thought the same reason for a user directory [20:12] myhero_: :D [20:12] WhereIsMySpoon: now its giving segmentation fault for even mkdir for user directory [20:12] O.o [20:12] Hii!

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] 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? === andrew_ is now known as grandrew [20:17] WhereIsMySpoon: same...seg fault [20:17] myhero_: it should have given you a longer output [20:17] with a trace of where stuff went wrong [20:18] WhereIsMySpoon: is it trace or strace....i wrote strace [20:18] myhero_: strace [20:18] WhereIsMySpoon: same thing....segmentation fault [20:18] diverdude: sorry, I was afk, service networking restart or something like that to restart just networking [20:19] WhereIsMySpoon: btw i m on live 12.10 ubuntu usb [20:19] not sure if that's what you were looking for or not [20:19] je [20:19] IveBeenBit: There is nothing to be fixed, since thats no RAID usable in Ubuntu. [20:19] myhero_: i need the output of that strace command [20:20] bekks: This saddens me, but thanks for clearing up that they do not intend to support that configuration. [20:20] 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] IveBeenBit: There is nothingto be supported, since that RAID configuration is designed to be supported by Windows only. [20:20] IveBeenBit: By using a windows driver. [20:21] How would I use photorec to all my files I lost from a windows BSOD? [20:21] *recover [20:21] bekks: Bummer, but thank you for the info. [20:21] ok what am I missing.... I am using networkmanager-openvpn and the connection works fine except for one thing. I am trying to get it to make that connection the default route. [20:22] WhereIsMySpoon: so u want me to sudo strace command ? [20:22] I found the checkbox for "use only for resources on this network", but that didnt change anything. On the server it is set as well to use it as the default route. [20:22] WhereIsMySpoon: with sudo also 2 words....segmentation fault [20:22] jesus [20:22] O.o [20:23] WhereIsMySpoon: r u penguin ? [20:23] er [20:23] O.o [20:23] i meant ubuntu penguin ?

[20:25] myhero_: What did you before that happened?= [20:27] 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] WhereIsMySpoon: It's slightly offtopic, so would I be able to PM you a question not directly related to Ubuntu support? [20:27] WhereIsMySpoon: plz read ^^ [20:28] b14d3: sure [20:28] myhero_: That willnot affect a system in any way causing segfaults. [20:28] myhero_: i dont see how that results in segfaults [20:28] you've done something seriously messedup [20:28] messed up* [20:28] and since its a live cd i would just re-download an iso and re-burn it onto a new cd [20:28] bekks: WhereIsMySpoon idk but that was it....i m on live usb 12.10 and there is nothing else on session [20:29] myhero_: Then just reboot, since it ius a liveusb only. === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [20:30] 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] myhero_: Why dont you just reboot, when being on a liveusb? [20:30] ubuntu is not "very unstable" [20:30] hi. am i the only one getting a 12.04 iso when following the normal ubuntu.com...download...-clickstream? [20:31] ubuntu is quite stable, especially if you dont install any ppas [20:31] nopf: What did you expect? [20:31] bekks: but thats running away and i wanna learn troubleshooting which helps on installed os [20:31] bekks: a 12.10? [20:31] myhero_: It has nothing to do with debugging. Its a liveusb, not a productive system. Wasted time to debug it. [20:32] ^ [20:32] bekks: commands are same.... [20:32] hello, [20:32] myhero_: And still the time is wasted. [20:32] 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] so I am basically new to Ubuntu and I need help finding an application [20:32] bekks: i know....but when something goes wrong on a dependent system then its nightmare [20:33] whtemple1959: are you using unity? [20:33] no I am still on 10.04 [20:33] myhero_: I am not going to waste my time any further on that. [20:33] hi guys my usb is not mounting any here is the dsmeg : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1417561 can anyone help?

[20:33] when i restart service networking, gnome disappears and nvidea alerts something [20:33] myhero_: There is no point in wasting^time on a liveusb. [20:34] bekks: i appreciate ur time invested till now [20:34] whtemple1959: also, i suggest you use 12.04 or 12.10 as your first ubuntu install rather than an old version [20:34] i guess i have to install a nvidea driver but there are errors when i want to install additionl drivers [20:34] I was not clear I have imagemagick installed but it is not in my apps menu and fid a file caannot find it [20:35] WhereIsMySpoon: bekks anyways i am rebooting.....but what do u think of mobile connecting over wifi to a laptop port when its changed ? [20:35] android to laptop over wifi [20:35] myhero_: When what is changed? [20:35] bekks: i clikc "download" "ubuntu deskop" "get ubuntu 12.10" "take me to the download" then get an 12.04 iso offered [20:35] hi guys i cant get my usb to mount can anyone help?? [20:36] graphics: nvidea geforce 9800gt [20:36] bekks: WhereIsMySpoon i changed the default port from 22 to 2222 and it connected fine over 2222 but when i reveerted back to 22 then also it was connecting over 2222 but not 22 and now its connecting over both 22 and 2222 [20:37] padmick: blkid? [20:37] myhero_: so switch the wifi on the phone on and off? [20:37] bekks: i'm just mentioning that for no good reason. i *know* how to get 12.10, have already tried it, and, if it's not much better than the beta TBH am happy to get the 12.04 instead. just wondering... [20:38] WhereIsMySpoon: bekks switched off/on both mobile and laptop wifi but nothing different [20:38] myhero_: switch off the phone and reboot [20:38] where is my spoon I installed this version months ago still trying to learn it [20:38] i i m isstalling ubuntu via a vnc and vnc break and then i have to start allover again. how can i see the log instead of the image when installing [20:38] WhereIsMySpoon: ohh ok....is mobile mac or something like that is permanently allowed ? until reboot [20:39] tozen: nope here is the dsmeg http://paste.ubuntu.com/1417561 [20:39] i have no clue, but since you're on a live cd and nothing matters, reboot [20:39] ok [20:39] whtemple1959: to complete a nick just type the first few characters and hit tab, much simpler [20:40] almoxarife: wc [20:40] almoxarife: i got droid connected to laptop over wifi......

[20:43] almoxarife: but live gives a lot of scope for experimentation [20:44] padmick: pop in usb and type blkid [20:44] is there a way to handle moved files smarter with rsync? by default it deletes and retransmits, I'd like it to just move the file [20:46] ok tried that no luck but other usbs work fine [20:46] WhereIsMySpoon: Sorry if you answered my question about the PM, I missed it due to work.

[20:55] So if I type apt-g nothing happens, I have to type out the whole command. [20:56] almoxarife: definitely trash especially because fdisk doesnt doesnt see it [20:56] It does work for file/folders though. Any ideas? [20:56] almoxarife: WhereIsMySpoon 1 more thing.....i downloaded both the ubuntu images....torrent and direct ones which are shown as 700+MB something size but i m getting 800.1MB image ? [20:56] padmick: forenzics is OT [20:56] padmick: check in /dev if you have the device file [20:57] myhero_: ask your questions without using my nick, thnks [20:57] padmick: device file name could be smth like /dev/sdb [20:57] almoxarife: lol...u look disturbed ? [20:58] almoxarife: anyways...i see ur nick is untouchable so i'll not touch it anymore after this :P [20:58] myhero_: no, not at all, just not your babu === Simurg is now known as ElixirVitae === gpix13_away is now known as gpix13 [20:59] babu...hmm that tells a lot of things.... [21:00] ok there is nothing there so i suppose thats it [21:00] "Ubuntu Spyware" im unable to connect to Jbacon blog and read his grease trap. [21:00] padmick: thats mean only one u r usb is gone [21:00] What is the general Ubuntu loco channel [21:01] !alis | I_HATE_AUTO_CORR [21:01] I_HATE_AUTO_CORR: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [21:01] hey folks! [21:01] Hi all [21:01] sorry tozen what u mean? [21:02] 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] 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] sanaking: Whats "FDE"? [21:02] padmick: i mean you're usb is fault/dead/gone 4 ever [21:02] bekks: FullDiskEncryption [21:03] 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. [21:04] every zip file is in the same folder. by the way [21:04] 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] ok thanks guys [21:04] padmick:u r welcome [21:05] (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 [21:06] sanaking: depends on the gpu [21:06] sanaking: you will get issues if you use optimus and similar [21:06] ATI 4xxx owners like me are a little bit angry about graphichs too [21:07] gals any ideas to how to see my intel gpu in conky? [21:07] ActionParsnip: ? Is that a reply to my lament that with each successive ubuntu release less people are able to use it? [21:07] kike_: there is a PPA with a legacy driver for 2xxx to 4xxx to make the latest Xorg work (in 12.10) [21:07] sanaking: its entierely dependant on hardware, its super individual [21:07] tried, didn't work and don't really know why [21:07] 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" [21:08] twice i lost graphic environment :( [21:08] kike_: is it ok in 12.04? [21:08] 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 [21:09] did'n try [21:09] sanaking: did you try mutiple desktop environments? [21:09] last LTS worked just fine [21:09] ActionParsnip: I couldn't even login [21:09] i've seen a manual that i'm trying to understand before I try [21:09] Oh I tried light and kdm yeah [21:09] sanaking: you can press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there [21:10] ActionParsnip: nope, the graphics there were screwed up too. [21:10] sanaking: that won't change the session once you log in, changing the DM doesn't make a huge amount of difference [21:10] ActionParsnip: exactly [21:10] sanaking: ok, then did you try kubuntu or xubuntu? [21:10] sanaking: the DM is not the DE [21:11] 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] sanaking: but you can use the different install medias to install them by default === mikestewart is now known as mikestewart|afk [21:12] any idea about how to uncompress a lot of zip files (all in the same folder) to a different folder each one? [21:12] 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] anyways, so it sounds like nobody knows where i can find resources to learn about using LVM+FDE effectively [21:12] sanaking: be so kind as to share via pastebin, /var/log/syslog and Xorg.0.log [21:12] sanaking: boot to the kubuntu installCD and run through the install method, just like you would with ubuntu [21:12] Am I the only person using LUKS? [21:13] mrb [21:13] luks? [21:13] 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] sanaking: the newer releases use compiz, if your gpu isn't up to the task it will offload to the cpu. [21:14] 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] Simple question: when running the time command. What is real/user/sys? [21:14] 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] ActionParsnip: basically I've not even gotten to the GNOME desktop. [21:14] almoxarife: not with LVM [21:14] sanaking: correct [21:15] I installed cynnamon after breaking my graphics and it's cool, now I like it a lot [21:15] sanaking: then try a different desktop, you can use xubuntu which needs zero 3d accelleration and I bet it runs just fine [21:15] kike_: cinnamon isn't supported here [21:15] i'm sure [21:16] would i be able to resize my encrypted partitions from the xubuntu 12.10 dvd? [21:16] (or cd whatever) [21:16] sanaking: it has all the same stuff available as the ubuntu cd, so i'd imagine so, yes [21:16] I don't know if the ubuntu CD can do that [21:17] sanaking: i thought the whole point of using lvm was so you didn't have to worry about partition sizes [21:17] 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) [21:18] auronandace: lvm doesn't care about partition sizes. it puts them all devices into a single pool and works from that [21:18] auronandace: I want to install another OS [21:18] wN: exactly [21:18] OS(es) === smorriss is now known as uberamd [21:19] i missed the original question, but you dont have to resize your partition sizes with lvm unless you want to create new devices for use in a new vg or outside of lvm [21:19] sanaking: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Parted-Magic-update-includes-GParted-LVM-support-1706323.html [21:20] almoxarife: But I also used crypt/LUKS :( [21:20] sanaking: perhaps you should ask in #lvm if you have lvm specific questions. [21:21] It is strange that KUbuntu doesn't include any partition tools that support LVM, eh [21:21] sanaking: what do you mean? === khildin_ is now known as khildin [21:21] WhereIsMySpoon: thnx for ur time :) [21:21] anyone know the correct java ee package (not the standard version) [21:22] wN: i can try, but not sure if they'll be able to help me with the LUKS issues.. [21:22] sanaking: why? there are LUKs questions in there all the time [21:22] wN: The two partitioning tools that come with my install don't seem to support it.. [21:22] Is it safe to just delete the contents of /tmp ? [21:22] wN: oh yeah? ok great! [21:22] t432: do you want oracle java for your browser? [21:22] sanaking: what're you trying to do? resize your partitions? [21:22] no i need the development kit java ee [21:23] java enterprise edition [21:24] Need help configuring display; v12.10 with AMD 6350 plugged in via VGA to a LCD TV [21:24] myhero: np [21:25] WhereIsMySpoon: not for U but i highly appreciate that === sharky1 is now known as sharky [21:28] is j2ee available in repo? [21:28] does anyone have any advice on upgrading packages on a production server? Like does it often cause problems? Should you always do is asap, and is there a good process to check that it hasn't broken anything? [21:29] *it asap [21:29] t432: if that is an official oracle version then i doubt it [21:29] kyyd: if its working dont touch it [21:29] how do get it work? [21:29] if was to download it from oracle [21:29] if i* [21:30] !java | t432 [21:30] t432: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [21:30] i tried installing JDK 7u9 with NetBeans 7.2.1 linux x64 edition available here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7-netbeans-download-432126.html on installed ubuntu 12.10 but it there was nothing happening when double clicking it [21:30] on installed 12.10 OS [21:30] ubottu: I have those i need http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/index.html [21:30] t432: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:30] e.e. j2ee [21:31] oh [21:31] i meant auronandace [21:32] t432: i don't use java, thankfully never needed it [21:32] ok going to try to boot the install DVD again, hope it works.. bbl (maybe) [21:32] auronandace: php? [21:32] almoxarife: ok thanks [21:33] almoxarife: what about security updates, are those usually ok? [21:33] t432: nope, i'm not a web dev [21:33] ah your c man [21:34] kyyd: i personally chose to make security updates, but that is a choice also [21:38] i tried installing JDK 7u9 with NetBeans 7.2.1 linux x64 edition available here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7-netbeans-download-432126.html on installed ubuntu 12.10 OS but there was nothing happening when double clicking it....whats wrong with it ? [21:39] Nevopross: как сам, брат? [21:41] i have this script I need to run as a daemon, I need it to run every time the server boots, can someone point me? [21:42] !upstart | ajp [21:42] ajp: 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/ [21:42] ajp: check out the cookbook for upstart [21:43] wow so much info... is there a short sweet version? [21:43] ajp: That was the short version. :P [21:44] anyone ? [21:44] ajp: well the "getting started" link there gets you started. You can also look at existing scripts for inspiration [21:44] myhero: On what? [21:44] bekks: i tried installing JDK 7u9 with NetBeans 7.2.1 linux x64 edition available here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7-netbeans-download-432126.html on installed ubuntu 12.10 OS but there was nothing happening when double clicking it....whats wrong with it ? [21:44] I have my script, i just need it to go, lol [21:44] or do i have to write a script for my script? [21:45] myhero: Download netbeans, and install it afterwards. There's nothing to be happening when just clicking it. [21:45] ajp: an init script, yes. So upstart can manage it. This is the proper way [21:45] jrib: i see [21:45] bekks: i tried it through terminal also but no use [21:46] myhero: "tried" "no use" - be more specific, please. [21:46] ajp: if you add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, it will run as root before the desktop shows [21:47] ajp: as it is a daemon, you will need to add a space and an amperand after the command to background it [21:47] ajp: if you don't then the boot will hang [21:55] okay. I'm going to have to blow this out of the water and reinstall Ubuntu. [21:55] that's the only way this is going to get fixed sadly [21:56] my menu bar disappeared, where i can set wlan configs... how to get it back === gpix13 is now known as gpix13_away [21:58] Funny. Apparently a drive protection thing in Ubuntu doesn't let Ubuntu discs boot. That's nice. [21:58] hello, i just bought an acer aspiron e... i am unable to install ubuntu on it. [21:58] doost: PM me and I can walk you through the process [21:59] it keeps restarting [21:59] Is it on a flashstick or a DVD? === amartin is now known as Guest40781 [22:03] doost? is it on a USB stick or DVD? [22:03] Hi, I have a quick question regarding the samba server. I've gt it all setup, added myself as a user and on my mac workstation i can see the server, connect to it and share files. [22:03] However, there is 2 shared folder, both pointing to the same place. I have "homes" and "kevin", both going to the same place. [22:04] i tried both [22:04] niether works [22:04] dotty_: And whats your question? [22:04] dotty_: You should be able to edit smbd.conf and see those, and edit/rename/remove them [22:04] Is your computer set to boot from dick? [22:04] I am so sorry. I meant disc [22:04] The question is, how do i remove the "homes" folder. === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [22:05] dotty_: You have to edit the samba configuration file and restart samba, for removing the generic homes share. [22:05] I don't know what to do, it doesn't recognize the disc, and with the usb, it keeps restarting [22:05] dotty_: If memory serves, edit /etc/init.d/smbd/smbd.conf, you can google the documentation on it, it's very straightfoward. === Kernel is now known as Guest49107 [22:06] <``q> hello. is there a way to directly force a PXE boot from a certain IP, from commandline ? [22:06] under Share Defs, I got [homes] comment = Home Directories browsable = yes [22:06] b14d3, /etc/samba/smbd.conf I think [22:06] b14d3: That file does not exist ion Ubuntu. [22:06] bekks, see above [22:06] Erin: I know ;) [22:06] Good call Erin, haven't quite gotten filepaths memorized perfectly yet. Sorry about that dotty_ [22:07] lol np.. [22:07] b14d3, init.d contains the startup scripts for daemons [22:07] Ah! Got it. change the "browseable" to no. [22:08] dotty_: That will not remove the share. It will just not been visible. [22:08] My Google-fu is failing me! How do I make Ubuntu "forget" a wireless network? Every time I turn on my wifi adaptor, it tries to connect to a network that isn't mine, presumably because I've misclicked it once. The password dialog pops up for it, which is quite annoying. [22:08] Thanks Erin, trying to get better with Ubuntu [22:08] how do I forward port 5443 on my local box via ssh to someserver:1337 [22:08] The "Homes" folder has gone, and now all I've got is my "kevin" folder. Which is what i want. [22:09] dotty_: the home share is not gone, it is not visible. You wont disappear from this earth when just hiding behind a corner. [22:09] srhb: Try "Edit Connections" under the wifi top menu bar symbol [22:09] samphippen: do you not use a router? [22:10] kickingvegas: Perfect thanks. Strangely that dialog says I've never used the network (even though it's in the list.) [22:10] srhb: np [22:10] If anyone needs a nice PasteBin site. Feel free to use http://PasteBin.BiessieCloud.com Thanks. [22:10] finding out that power management wifi is just broken in ubuntu. [22:10] Drakee: no advertising here, thank you [22:11] kickingvegas: Oh? [22:11] im sorry [22:11] Just trying to throw out pastebin for users :) [22:11] !pastebinit [22:11] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:11] I used them often [22:11] 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] 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. [22:12] disabling wifi power management has taken most of the random disconnects I see; unfortunately not all. === mattt__ is now known as mattt_ [22:12] dotty_: samba has a feature to share the users 'homes' and thats how it would work. Whatever user is logged in (say 'bob') connects to the server/homes share. would get routed to bobs home directory [22:14] My god do I hope I just partitioned this drive correctly. [22:14] Yeah, thats what I want. [22:15] Thanks for your time! might be back soon! [22:17] anyone know if there's a way to brute-force BearShare into working on Ubuntu, seeing as it needs IE 7> and WMP 10>? [22:17] erm [22:17] IE 7< and WMP 10< [22:17] wine and a lot of black magic perhaps.. ask in #windhq perhaps [22:17] myst3rious: why do that ? [22:18] either boot into windows, or use an alternative tool [22:18] I haven't used BearShare since like 2005. I didn't know it still even existed. [22:18] I dont even know what bearShare does. so i cant suggest an alternative [22:18] <_0x783czar> I have a server with a colorized prompt. I did not set this up on the server, but would like to duplicate this colorized output on another machine. However I'm not exactly sure where to look for the settings that I need to duplicate. So far I've taken the /etc/profile.d/99_bashrc.sh file and duplicated it on the other system, but it still doesn't have a colorized promt. What else can I look at? [22:18] It's a P2P nontorrent share software [22:18] dr_willis: it's a share software for sharing music [22:19] dr_willis: it allows you to share bear hugs [22:19] _0x783czar: check the users .bashrc and .profile theres a color prompt settiogs in there. [22:19] _0x783czar: theres a 'bash prompt howto' at tldp.org that has dozens of things you can do to the promopts [22:19] almoxarife: close, it's also a dating/connections thing too [22:19] * almoxarife does not date [22:19] So you an date bears. ;) [22:20] Nothin wrong with that lols [22:20] "[16:19] * almoxarife does not date" you're in #ubuntu. nuff said. [22:20] ? [22:20] But, back to a previous point, are you committed to using that software? [22:20] i'm here and I am married lol.... [22:20] OT though ;-p [22:20] I have a boyfriend.... [22:21] b14d3, well if ur male more power to you, if you are female no big accomplishment any woman can get a man easily ;-p [22:21] but offtopic so i digress [22:21] :) , i can tell that was not a good tangent [22:22] too bad all of us aren't that lucky. anyways, I'm not fully comitted, if there's a decent Ubuntu/Debian alternative, I might jump ship to that. [22:22] myst3rious: KDE buddy [22:22] operative word being "decent" aka "still working and lively" [22:22] I loves my KTorrent. [22:22] myst3rious, people like arch linux also [22:23] I've heard the installing of Arch is a pain in the @$$ though [22:23] <_0x783czar> dr_willis: thank-you so much that was it! [22:23] myst3rious, it might be now, I think they removed the gui installer [22:24] !ot | myst3rious , Erin [22:24] myst3rious , Erin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:24] myst3rious: arch? one question, does it do anything any other distro cant? [22:24] 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 ? [22:25] Erin: we have #ubuntu-offtopic and even ##linux for that :) so keep this for ubuntu support, please [22:25] !ot | Erin [22:25] Erin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:25] .... [22:25] alright. new install is up and running. now let's hope I don't screw it up again [22:25] Erin: that has nothing to do with "being cool" - just read your last 5-6 comments [22:26] so lets figure this out, my two lines or 20+ lines of 2 people linking me the same thing ? [22:26] and i'm supposed to join #offtopic every time someone asks for a different linux variant ? [22:26] hey if im on 64bit windows will wubi install 64bit [22:26] Erin: please stop to discuss this here. the point is made, please see the guidelines [22:26] Erin, that isn't exactly a support question [22:26] Erin: not to worry, when the chat goes off into #bash or #apache, pounce! [22:26] Erin: you are supposed to keep your comments *here* strictly to ubuntu support [22:27] i'm done coming here [22:27] drthodt: Yes [22:27] problem solved [22:27] * SonikkuAmerica sighs [22:27] oh dear [22:27] drthodt: Yes, you can. Depends, you want 32- or 64-bit Ubuntu installed? [22:28] drthodt: you are sure you want wubi and not a real installation? [22:28] drthodt: its a 64bit machine, thats what matters [22:28] * dr_willis advises running away from wubi. [22:28] I want 64bit [22:28] compiles mah droid jellybeans [22:28] 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] drthodt: so install via the 64bit iso [22:28] doesnt wubi use the nt bootloader? [22:28] Any idea why cfdisk reporst a bigger size ? [22:28] the installer [22:29] ccolorado: because that's the "device" but you've cloned the partition table which will be 16gb [22:29] i want to bitlock my windows 8 and dualboot lts [22:29] ccolorado: use gparted to resize the 16bg partion to fill up th rest of the sd. or make a 2nd partion [22:29] almoxarife, drthodt: To install INSIDE Windows, type in "\wubi.exe --force-wubi" [22:29] drthodt: where is wherever the Wubi exe is at [22:30] you don't want to install insidde a bitlocked NTFS file system [22:30] SonikkuAmerica: used wubi for years, thats how i figured out i had a 64bit system [22:30] yeah I dont want to do that [22:30] i want it on its own partition [22:30] using nt bootloader [22:30] so i can bitlock windows [22:30] drthodt: Unless you're using Windows 7/8 there's no way to do that... [22:31] 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] drthodt: Just saying [22:31] im on win8 [22:31] kg: a question better asked in ##linux [22:31] ikonia: will wubi refuse to install ubuntu within this bitlocked ntfs? or is it a user option? [22:32] almoxarife: it won't know, but think about it, windows is used to decypt it, so upon rebooting..... [22:32] how can i transfer the ubuntu installations iso to an usb stick so it boots on my laptop that boot only from uefi devices? [22:33] Where'd kg go? [22:33] 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] 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 [22:34] dr_willis: ok i try "dd if=./dvd.iso of=/dev/sde"? [22:34] gregor3005: thats the core of it yes. [22:34] 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] gregor3005: giving a BS= option may speed it up. ;) === Argure|AFK is now known as Argure [22:34] is there a way to enable minimise on click function in ubuntu 12.10 Unity??! [22:34] freedomrun: theres some unofficial unity patches for that. [22:34] 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 ) [22:35] ccolorado: dd is not the tool [22:35] dr_willis, for 12.10 Unity also? [22:35] ccolorado: there are tools such as clonezilla, or simple "copy the data" onto the new disk [22:35] freedomrun: last i looked they mentioned 12.10 - i dont use the patch. saw it mentione don webupd8 or omgubuntu sites [22:36] dr_willis, thnx [22:36] dr_willis: thx i try it [22:37] ikonia: what confuses me a lot is cfdisk saying that sdb1 is 32 GB ( not sdb ) [22:37] ccolorado, ikonia: Is that not the partition size? [22:38] ccolorado: the physical partiton probably is 32bit, but you've copied the 16GB partition table [22:39] hello [22:39] someone testing steam ? [22:39] fjk: Under Wine?

[22:41] 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] mgolisch: there is no right channel as they have not released any info on it yet [22:42] hm [22:42] ikonia: so its just marketing buzz? [22:42] mgolisch: well, no, but there is no info on it and hasn't been since the first marketing push [22:42] mgolisch: I'm sure it's being worked on, but there is nothing known [22:42] too bad [22:42] mgolisch: who knows the "real" status/info on it [22:43] 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] I want android on ubuntu. :) so i can run my android stuff on my Ubuntu desktop. ;P [22:44] dr_willis: Isn't the Android SDK available for Ubuntu? [22:44] mgolisch: just ask in a forum of your choice. [22:44] SonikkuAmerica: wanting somthing a little more end user friendly :) like that bluez thang on windows. [22:44] theres been some work on something called android execution environment @ dr_willis [22:44] but i think theres been no progress since 2009 [22:45] Im getting so used to using my phone/tablets - I find my self doing android-type gestures on my Ubuntu boxs ;) [22:45] abizrcmplx: Can your video drivers handle video playback? [22:45] abizrcmplx: Natively that is [22:45] dr_willis: "Bluez thang"? [22:45] abizrcmplx: the kind of video/size/codec and your system specs can have limitions [22:45] 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] 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 [22:46] SonikkuAmerica: some anroid-enviroment they have on windows now. i forget its name. had blue in it i belive. [22:46] ccolorado: how many partitions are on the disk [22:46] HumanBeing: you need love from the ppa [22:46] (on the SD) [22:46] ikonia: just that one (sdb1) [22:46] ccolorado: right, so it spans the whole disk [22:46] HumanBeing: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [22:46] dr_willis: Hmm... something to research [22:46] 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] ccolorado: therefore it's 32gb in size [22:47] anyone got steam beta to run on amd64? [22:47] SonikkuAmerica: bluestacks.com - aparantly a OS-X version is in alpha [22:47] xyzone: the people on the steam beta forum may have [22:47] ikonia: even if mount -l reports it being 16 GB in size ? [22:47] ActionParsnip: precise ;) [22:47] ccolorado: please try to listen [22:47] ccolorado: you've got a partition that covers the whole disk [22:47] dr_willis: I'm downloading it now, wonder what this could mean [22:47] however, you have copied the partition TABLE from the 16GB SD card when you did DD [22:48] SonikkuAmerica: Not sure if willwork in wine. it does work 'ok' in windows last i tried it. [22:48] so software that queries the partition table will report 16GB, software that queries the physical device will report 32gb [22:48] HumanBeing: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install love-unstable [22:48] dr_willis: I'm in Windows 8 right now [22:48] SonikkuAmerica: you have my condolances.. ;P [22:48] ActionParsnip: Is it possible to install it without adding the ppa? [22:49] HumanBeing: then run: ls /usr/bin | grep love what is output? [22:49] dr_willis: Condolences?!

[22:53] HumanBeing: its not in a package [22:53] gregor3005: it will use what you tell it to use [22:53] HumanBeing: wget http://stabyourself.net/dl.php?file=mari0-1006/mari0-linux.zip; unzip ./mari0-linux.zip; rm ./mari0-linux.zip [22:54] ikonia: i used the live cd to install ubuntu and it dont asked me [22:54] 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] i said it should use the whole disk [22:54] i wait if it works with default values [22:54] ahammond: you've not got that package from the ubuntu repos have you [22:55] ikonia: got it from the rabbitmq PPA [22:55] HumanBeing: its a single .love file, you open it with love and it runs [22:55] HumanBeing: simples [22:55] ahammond: so the person who maintains that appears to not be doing a good job [22:55] ahammond: you'll need to contact to PPA maintainer [22:56] HumanBeing: did you install love-unstable from the PPA? [22:56] ikonia: so, manually extracted the file using dpkg -x and the file is in there… but ??? [22:56] ahammond: ubuntu dosn't use that init system any more [22:56] ActionParsnip: OK, thanks :) I hoped there would be an easier way to install it, but your descriptions helped me [22:56] ahammond: hence why you'll need to contact the PPA maintainer [22:56] HumanBeing: its not hard [22:56] ActionParsnip: No, I did nothing right now [22:56] HumanBeing: add a ppa, install a package, download the game and run the app [22:57] HumanBeing: you may need to link /usr/bin/love-unstable to /usr/bin/love [22:57] 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] ahammond: because those file destinitions no longer exist [22:57] ahammond: contact the package maintainer [22:57] ActionParsnip: Well, in comparison to other OSs it is hard ;) [22:57] instead of using upstart, is it wise to add my script to @reboot in crontab?

[23:01] HumanBeing: its one way to install, love is in the repos, just that its not new enough for the app, so you need an extra source for the newer version [23:01] ActionParsnip: because I read, that you shouldnt add too much ppas... === marc is now known as Guest85920 [23:02] HumanBeing: ideally but if you need them then you have that freedom === Guest85920 is now known as fooooooobar [23:02] ActionParsnip: Thx a lot!

[23:31] but when i do sudo which java, i don't see anything. [23:31] how can i fix this [23:31] Rolo__: so are you wanting to overwrite the boot sector with the ubuntu install? [23:31] Googol30: what device nam is the partition? [23:31] Pelo: Edit > Accounts > the google talk account > advanced [23:32] Rolo__: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

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] 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] 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] but its based on ubuntu relase, so would be helpfull if someone here know how to fix it :) [23:39] HumanBeing, trying your latest [23:39] hetii: none of the ubuntu based distros are suported here [23:39] of course i aks there also :) [23:39] hetii: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here [23:39] 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. [23:40] hetii: you aren't using Ubuntu or a Canonical release, so it's not supported here [23:40] marlboroman: did you set the java home in /root/.bashrc too ?

[23:41] Googol30: so your SD card has multiple partitions on it? [23:41] hetii: you need to ask in the mint support channel and they will advise [23:42] hetii: instead of asking in the wrong channels you could ask in the right one and save your and our time :) [23:42] It shouldn't... I just reformatted it with FAT32. [23:42] Does the superblock thing mean anything relevent? [23:42] Googol30: then it's not sda (which is probably your OS drive). If you pastebin the output, we can advise [23:42] 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 [23:43] HumanBeing, thanks for your patience, I've been on the other end of this discussion and I know how it can be [23:43] How do I pastebin something from the server without typing the whole thing out?

[23:50] Pelo: you are wanting to make out-going calls, yate wont receive google numbered calls either [23:50] ActionParsnip: No but for some files VLC already works...

[23:53] 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] Kellur: i'd try the package, may help [23:54] ActionParsnip: OK, I just installed it... will try. [23:55] thanks guys, I'll work on this again later [23:55] kemmotar: you do know that vlc uses Qt, so when you installed it you pulled in a tonne of Qt libs as deps [23:56] 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] 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] How do I use a joystick? I don't see anything like what's in XP. I'm using xubuntu 10.04 [23:57] Kellur: if you make a new ubuntu user and log in there, is it the same? [23:57] pgrep -f firefox [23:57] !info jscalibrator [23:57] Package jscalibrator does not exist in quantal [23:57] hmm [23:58] ed_moulton: Lucid has less than 6 months support left, you may want to upgrade soon [23:58] !info jscalibrator lucid [23:58] Package jscalibrator does not exist in lucid [23:58] ActionParsnip, I did that. I've also installed joystick (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1729315) and still no love [23:59] ActionParsnip, Really? I thought I had like five years... [23:59] 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.
