XMLnewbiI'm only really familiar with php im starting here http://php.net/manual/en/book.sockets.php00:01
=== silvan is now known as little_SD
escottXMLnewbi, i would be very careful running a service with php. how is the data currently delivered to you?00:01
XMLnewbijava program watching a websocket updating a database on my server. (java was wrote for me, not by me)00:02
XMLnewbiits updating everytime there is a trade on mtgox; 5-30 seconds ish00:03
escottXMLnewbi, ok. so that java program opens and listens (not watches) on a socket (ie runs a service). and you can just grab it out of the db. why do you need cron?00:03
XMLnewbiI need to perform a function on that data, then store it in a new table. As the data comes in00:04
escottXMLnewbi, you need to modify and broadcast the new value? how will you broadcast your result? to whom and in what format are they expecting?00:05
escottXMLnewbi, sounds like this is all in the database. in which case check if your DB supports triggers00:05
XMLnewbilivestream on a webpage, and ill be calling to it a lot in email/ext00:05
escottXMLnewbi, the insert operation can trigger a function in the DB which inserts into another table00:05
XMLnewbihmm ok, im useing mysql ill look into triggers00:06
escottXMLnewbi, you probably want the mysql variant of "after insert for each row" or "after commit for each row" might be better00:06
XMLnewbiim probally going to have to dig into this java app updating the database arnt I00:07
RickZilladisk utility isn't showing up in my software list, even though synaptic is showing it as installed, any ideas what could be going on? running ubuntu 12.1000:08
escottXMLnewbi, the trigger would be in the database in the mysql scripting language00:09
escottXMLnewbi, you could also do it via java which has some advantages and disadvantages.00:09
escottXMLnewbi, if you are not comfortable with sql commit semantics and rollback i would go with modifying the java program00:09
apkI created a new user, logged into it but it doesnt have sudo rights so now I cant log in to another user and i cant reboot00:11
apkhow do I solve this?00:11
XMLnewbiim scraping by with phpmyadmin lol, and java is gibberish to me. but thats I think Im understanding my options00:11
escottapk, sudo usermod -a -G sudo username00:11
XMLnewbithanks*00:11
RickZillaIf I create a HD partition using gparted (or similar), and I want to install ubuntu in that partition, do I need to manually move that drive to the top of the boot order in bios every time I want to run ubuntu?00:11
escottXMLnewbi, if java is gibberish to you.... this is going to be very hard for you to do00:11
escottRickZilla, no00:12
RickZillaescott: Would it just come up in grub, like it normally would?00:12
apkescott: but the user is not in the sudoers file...00:12
SolarisBoyis there anyway to boot=casper from grub2 without using nfs?00:12
escottapk, so login as one of the users who is an admin, or boot to recovery console00:13
SolarisBoyrather without using r/o media or from the local disk00:13
escottRickZilla, ubuntu's grub will present a list of OSes installed on the system. if you have some other linux OS their grub would hopefully do the same, but i can't speak for them00:14
apkescott: when i try to reboot it says i dont have the rights00:14
apkneed to be root00:14
escottapk, you are going to have to logout so logout to start00:15
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip E: Unable to locate package fglrx-legacy00:19
verysoftoiletpprgreat..00:19
ActionParsnipweltzooo: did you run:   sudo apt-get update00:20
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip yes00:20
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc00:21
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip precise00:21
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: should be ok then, I don't believe you'll need the driver from the ppa00:22
=== daniel is now known as Guest10102
=== webfox_ is now known as webfox
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip what do you mean.. I uninstalled fglrx00:23
apkWould Ubuntu make a good mediacenter?00:23
apkIm thinking buying a 800GB harddrive, a decent processor and make it so Í can log into it from my laptop then have it running constantly.00:24
Guest10102Does anyone know if displaylink dual head USB 3.0 adapters work in Ubuntu?00:24
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: just removing the ppa is fine00:24
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip I need drivers right?00:26
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: you may find the GPU runs with the open source driver00:26
emesI've been noticing that my compositing is slow. I have an ivy bridge laptop with intel graphics. it seems the intel driver is being used. what else can I check?00:27
escottemes, what version of ubuntu00:28
ActionParsnipemes: does the system have a make and model?00:28
escottapk, yes00:28
emes12.10 thinkpad T430s, escott, ActionParsnip00:28
phunyguy_t430ssame thinkpad I have00:28
phunyguy_t430s<---00:28
phunyguy_t430sno compositing issues, however.00:29
escottemes, i dont know that compositing would be any faster. what makes you say it is slow00:29
emesescott: noticeable hanging00:29
ActionParsnipemes: if you run:   sudo lshw -C display    can you use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com   to host the text00:29
escottemes, when doing what00:29
phunyguy_t430semes, yeah I have no issues on this laptop.00:29
escottemes, "hanging" could mean a lot of things. the last i would think of is display00:30
emeswindows don't close smoothly00:30
emesif I try to drag a window around it might jump00:31
n0sqIthis is weird, nmap shows my smtp server filtered to the outside world but i am still getting mail - i can't telnet to the server from another network either00:31
phunyguy_t430semes, lets both run that command that ActionParsnip said, and we will compare results00:31
emesActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1420063/00:31

phunyguy_t430semes: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1420064/00:32
phunyguy_t430semes, no you go00:32
ActionParsnipemes: there is a long boot option you can add, may help00:32
phunyguy_t430snow*00:32
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip but won't the official drivers deliver more performance?00:33
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: possibly, its about what the drivers support thoughj00:34
emesActionParsnip: it doesn't seem to explain what the purpose of those boot options are00:35
emesActionParsnip: looks like powersaving stuff00:36
SarkyninHi!00:36
ActionParsnipemes: make the video better...00:36
SarkyninCan someone help me with an installation problem? I'm new to Ubuntu ._.00:36

phunyguy_t430s!ask | Sarkynin00:37
ubottuSarkynin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience00:37
ActionParsnipemes: save the new file, close gedit and run: sudo update-grub00:37
ActionParsnipemes: reboot to test, if its no good, you can always remove it easily00:38
SarkyninIt's been ~10 minutes that the installator is blocked on "ubuntu CRON[3825]: (root ) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly).00:38
SarkyninWhat should I do? x_x00:38
ActionParsnipSarkynin: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?00:38
SarkyninUmm, no. ._.00:38
SarkyninIs there a risk for my computer now? ._.00:39
locojayhi i just installed ubuntu 12.04 alternate and would like to upgrade to 12.10. going to updatemanager i don't get a 12.10 upgrade question?00:39
ActionParsnipSarkynin: you may need to cancel the install00:39
locojayhow can i uprade from cmd00:39
Deep6anyone done anything with  a synology nas here by chance?00:39
ActionParsnipSarkynin: you havene't tested the data you used so there may be errors in the data00:39
emesActionParsnip: trying, brb00:39
phunyguy_t430slocojay, you have to go into software dources and allow upgrading to any version00:39
phunyguy_t430ssources*00:39
phunyguy_t430sit is a dropdown box option00:40
SarkyninHow can I cancel the install...?00:40
ActionParsnipSarkynin: may just have to reboot, are you using wubi to install?00:41
SarkyninNo.00:41
ActionParsnipSarkynin: good00:41
SarkyninLiLi00:41
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip yep.. it doesn't work well enough with the open source drivers00:41
verysoftoiletpprvery slow00:42
SarkyninI used an iso I downloaded from ubuntu-fr (yeah I'm french)00:42
phunyguy_t430slocojay, http://i.imgur.com/sZ6vz.png  <---- see bottom option00:42
SarkyninI'll try to shut down. Thanks!00:42
ChogyDanwhat program should I use to record from my webcam?00:43
Sarkynin(And download the iso again, and actually check the md5 value.)00:43
ActionParsnipSarkynin: as long as it passes MD5 sum you can get it from literally anywhere00:43
SarkyninOkay, bye! o/00:43
fsvieirahello, I installed something local, exported the path var in bashrc, but when trying to run the programs in geany it says "/bin/sh program" not found how can I solve this ?00:43
SarkyninUmm? It finished installing.00:44
SarkyninI'll reboot to see if it was correctly installed...00:44
emesActionParsnip: does seem better at the moment. we'll see if the slowness comes back. thanks!00:44
Troy^anyone here use logitech g15 or g110 keyboards etc. with ubuntu?00:44
phunyguy_t430slocojay, in your case it may only notify you of LTS releases, and even trying sudo do-release-upgrade -p may not work.00:44
escottfsvieira, what is geany00:44
phunyguy_t430sso you must change it in software sources like I suggested and it will work.00:45
emesActionParsnip: could also be that my x session had been running for a month, but I'd prefer to think that that wasn't the issue00:45
Troy^escott: an ide/text editor for programming00:45
Troy^escott: but if you are looking at that. I would suggest going with sublime text 2 instead. Much better.00:45
escottfsvieira, gui programs do not parse bashrc so they won't see your PATH modifications00:46
Sarkynin_It correctly installed, this time.00:47
Sarkynin_I don't know how it happened, but the installation finished!00:47
Sarkynin_(And I have my wallpaper from seven)00:47
Sarkynin_Thanks for helping me! o/00:47

ActionParsnipatlus: in what way?00:50
apkHow do I log in as root?00:51
ActionParsnipapk: you don't00:51
Troy^fsvieira: use sublime text 2 and you can edit the way your scripts execute. By editing a build or creating your own. sublime text 2 is always way better then geany00:51
ActionParsnipapk: if you want a root terminal, run:    sudo -i00:51
PhabaActionParsnip, whats the diff between sudo su and sudo -i?00:55
Troy^man sudo?00:55
Phabaceebs00:55
ActionParsnipPhaba: sudo su   your profile and environment is roots, if you use:  sudo -i   your environment will be your own00:55
escottPhaba, how the environment is handled. sudo -i is correct for ubuntu.00:55
Phabaokay thanks guys :D00:56

Rob1337Hi. My internet speed is normally about 20 mb/s, but when I use ubuntu 12.10 and wi-fi my speeds are unstable and closer to 2 mb/s on average. I get normal speeds when using windows 7 (wired or wireless) or when connected via LAN cable in ubuntu. My laptop is a Gateway NV53a and my wireless card is a Atheros AR9287. How do I fix this?01:01
escottGuest10102, rather new technology... my guess is maybe but its probably buggy01:01
Rob1337ActionParsnip, I think you gave me a solution the other day. It worked temporarily but now things are back to the way they were.01:02

Siviklspci is a good start blondielegs01:05
Rob1337ActionParsnip: I'm not sure. You gave me a long terminal command and it worked at the time after I rebooted. Things are back to the way they were today though. I guess I should have written down the command for future reference, but I thought things were fixed at the time...01:05

volume_8_Greetings. I was at a friend's house. He is not technical and I woudn't expect him to know Unix, but he was actually using Ubuntu. A casual Ubuntu user.01:07
volume_8_So the thing is, that he was getting a "You need to update your stuff" tray icon all the time.01:07
ActionParsnipRob1337: try:  sudo modprobe -r ath9k; sleep 2; sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=101:08
Troy^yeats: it does not require you 'buy' it though.01:08
ActionParsnipRob1337: is it then ok?01:08
volume_8_When he was clicking it, instead of having a "You have outdated stuff. We are updating them" kind-of dialog, it just says "Your computer is up to date".01:08
yeatsTroy^: correct - free as in cost, but not as in freedom01:08
* yeats returns to on-topic conversation ;-)01:08
volume_8_The tray icon was an alarming red sign.01:08
volume_8_Why does Ubuntu have alarming red signs to say "Your computer is up to date"?01:08
Rob1337ActionParsnip: Does ; indicate multiple lines?01:08
ActionParsnipvolume_8_: can you pastebin the output of:   sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a; uname -a01:09
volume_8_ActionParsnip: I'm not there anymore.01:09
ActionParsnipRob1337: its all one command.....01:09
ActionParsnipvolume_8_: how do you mean?01:09
volume_8_I'm not able to access his computer. I'm not at his house anymore.01:09
Rob1337k, i wasn't sure because I'm not used to seeing "sudo" anywhere other than the start of the line01:09
volume_8_Although, I guess that's not the intended behavior.01:09
ActionParsnipvolume_8_: I see, weel, next time you are run the command and pastebin the text01:10
volume_8_Was it a bug in his system?01:10
Rob1337is there a symbol that is used to seperate multiple commands?01:10
escottvolume_8_, because he needs to update01:10
volume_8_We updated once.01:10
volume_8_Then the same tray icon appeared.01:10
ActionParsnipvolume_8_: did you not install an SSH server and setup port forwarding so you can access?01:10
volume_8_We tried to update again, and then we got "Your system is up to date".01:10
volume_8_ActionParsnip: no, I was not that dedicated.01:10
Rob1337ActionParsnip, I ran the command. Do I need to reboot?01:10
ActionParsnipvolume_8_: the output of the command will tell us a lot01:10
ActionParsnipRob1337: no, or it will undo what you did....01:11
volume_8_OK.01:11
ActionParsnipRob1337: this isn't windows01:11
Troy^where is the dns settings located? i need to change it. my isp dns settings blow.01:11
volume_8_Well, I guess I'll hop in next tiem I'm able to get that ouput.01:11
volume_8_Thanks.01:11

Troy^what file do i edit to change my dns nameserver? my DNS is not working randomly...01:13
Rob1337ActionParsnip: I just did a speed test, speeds are now about 10mb/s. Better but still not up to 20 mb/s...what does that mean?01:13

FloodBot1!netsplit01:14
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit01:14
Troy^lol nice netsplit01:15
ActionParsnipRob1337: there are lots of people posting about the atheros chip you have01:15

=== fisted_ is now known as fisted
Troy^Why did my DNS come back when the netsplit happened?01:15
Rob1337ActionParsnip: "quantal"01:16
ActionParsnipRob1337: ah, lots of people saying update kernel but quantal should do it01:17
ActionParsnipRob1337: could try raring liveCD, see if its any better01:17
amigamiawhen you do a startup it says applying cpu microcode update.. is it actually applying microcode?01:18
Rob1337"raring liveCD"?01:18
bibi23hi, I have a file only readable by a given user and I'd like to know when an unauthorized user tries to read it, ideally some logs on a file, is it possible? thx01:18
Rob1337You mean run in liveCD and see how fast that is?01:18
apkIs there some good canonical tutorial for learning linux? like mounting filesystems and harddrives, managing users, activaing and unactivating peripherals etc?01:18
escottbibi23, perhaps with SELinux01:19
escottbibi23, but ubuntu uses apparmor. i bet you could do the same with apparmor... not sure how01:20
escottbibi23, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor01:20
bibi23escott: ok thanks, I guess it's possible, it says "Complaining/Learning: profile violations are permitted and logged."01:22

phunyguy_t430sBluesKaj, I do the same thing (see phunyguy_work)01:50
ActionParsnipapk: why do you want to? What do you think you will gain?01:50
PhabaActionParsnip, where do you work that allows irc access??01:51
BluesKajphunyguy_t430s,it's a good way to kill the time :)01:51

BluesKajActionParsnip, no X forwarding , but that's so bad01:53
phunyguy_t430smy work doesnt allow it, but I found TCP port 1935 open going out, so I set up a VPN server at home on that port.01:53

phunyguy_t430s!ask | Joshua__01:55
ubottuJoshua__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience01:55
ActionParsnipJoshua__: what is the issue?01:55
godbodJoshua__: can you describe the issue ?01:56
Joshua__I have windows 7 ultimate installed currently on my laptop. I want to dual boot Ubuntu12.04. Here's the thing, I run the installation from the flashdrive and choose the option "manually specify partitions". The Windows drives do show up.01:57
ActionParsnipJoshua__: use Win7 disk manager and resize the NTFS partition, then boot to the install media and install to the free space01:59
min|dvir|usDoes anyone know how to get a 16-pair hexadecimal representation of a .pub?01:59
Joshua__...in the partition table. And when i try to create the /boot or /root partions from the freespace, it does create one and next i see "unusable space". What is this?/02:00
phunyguy_t430so.O02:00
ActionParsnipJoshua__: you don't need a separate /boot partition02:01
Joshua__I have around 350GB of free space. I'm trying to use the "specify partitions manually" option and install ubuntu 12.04. My windows 7 is running. And as I mentioned, I want to dual boot. how do i go about this way? I have the "C" drive and the "D" drive and the system reserved for the the win7 [obviously].02:03
Nemixhi02:03
Nemixis it possible to move the icon from ubuntu 12.10 from top right corner to left right corner?02:04
ActionParsnipJoshua__: resize a patition and make free space, then boot to the ubuntu install media and use the new free space02:04

cowsquadcan anyone help me, I am trying to do some homework assignment. I have created a script menu and on option 4 i prompted the user to attach a text file only. How do i make sure the user doesnt attach binary files?02:06
tryingUbuntuHi guys... I want to shut down remotley at 9pm    I get command not found??  $ sudo shutdown -h 18:45 "Server is going down for maintenance"02:07
elena-IKI have problems with poor sshfs performance. with rsync or scp I get around 128 kB/s, with sshfs I get between 10 and 60 kB/s. is that normal?02:07
Joshua__ActionParsnip I have free space. why is the need to resize a partition arise?02:07
cowsquadI have tried a if statement in bash like this: if [ $userinput = *.txt ]; then send a email; else echo "text files only"02:07
cowsquadbut it doesnt work02:07
alien2050cowsquad: hint.... have a look at the "file" command ;)02:08
ActionParsnipJoshua__: is it free as in unpartitioned?02:08
=== phunyguy is now known as phunyguy_mac
=== root is now known as Guest56902
cowsquadalien2050 yes file command list the type of file right?02:09
ActionParsnipJoshua__: having free space on an NTFS partition, and having space on the drive unpartitioned are very different02:10
alien2050cowsquad: yes it does.... now if you combine it with another simple command that searches for stuff, you can grab the result and put it in a variable in your script or use it on the fly to check02:10
cowsquadalien2050 I am barely starting to learn bash, so I have no idea how to do that02:11
Joshua__Exactly. I'm creating the /root, /boot, and the rest from UNpartitioned space.! And one more thing, the min i create a /root or /boot partition as a primary, the next thing i get to see is "Unusable space". However if i create a swap partion first, I dont see the "unusable space". after this when i'm creating the /root or /boot or /home, I can. But I dont see a "primary" or a "logical" option that i can choose from while allocating02:12
elena-IKIf I run find the first time, it takes quite some time. If I run it a second time after that, it's done almost instantly. what is caching there? find? file system?02:12
Joshua__No no no! I'm talking about FREE SPACE alone. The unpartioned space. Not freespace in ana existing partion.02:13
SunMoonStaranyone else periodically gets failed attempt trying to resume from suspend/hibernate?02:13
ActionParsnipJoshua__: make an extended partition of the space, then use logical partitions. Your drive can only hold 4 primary partitions, the extended partition gets around this02:13
SunMoonStar12.1002:13
phunyguy_t430sSunMoonStar, I do.... have you searched for a bug in launchpad?02:13
SunMoonStarno i came here first02:13
phunyguy_t430sthere may be a bug.02:14
SunMoonStarubuntu asked me to report the problem so i'm sure it's been reported02:14
alien2050cowsquad: we all started somewhere :) Do you like to learn or you just want the answer and don't care at all about bash? Cuz some of us actually do care ;)  So what is the command that searches for stuff02:14
phunyguy_t430syou should create a launchpad account, fund the bug report, and then subscribe to it.02:14
phunyguy_t430sfind*02:14
SunMoonStartrue..02:14
Joshua__While installing win7 I deliberately created two partitions alone and left the remaining as unallocated. So u want me to boot into windows and do what now?02:14
SunMoonStarI even want to contribute to something but I am only somewhat capable in python and never added to a project before02:15
cowsquadman Ive been working on this assignment for like 7 hours. I dont give up, and i Know grep search for specific words inside a text file02:15
tryingUbuntudoes anyone know the command to shut down computer at a specific time.. Google isnt much help02:15
alien2050cowsquad: you're looking for a critically useful command called grep02:15
ActionParsnipSunMoonStar: find a project and ask if you can play :D02:15
ActionParsniptryingUbuntu: use the 'at' scheduler02:15
alien2050cowsquad: do "man grep" to learn it, it's actually super useful02:15
escotttryingUbuntu, cron job calling shutdown -h now02:15
tryingUbuntusorry guys????  AT scheduler??02:16
SunMoonStar● locate – Find files by name02:16
SunMoonStar● find – Search for files in a directory hierarchy02:16
SunMoonStarWe will also look at a command that is often used with file search commands to process02:16
SunMoonStarthe resulting list of files:02:16
SunMoonStar02:16
SunMoonStarxargs – Build and execute command lines from standard input02:16
SunMoonStarIn addition, we will introduce a couple of commands to assist us in or exploration:02:16
FloodBot1SunMoonStar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.02:16
escotttryingUbuntu, or more simply shutdown -h HH:MM02:16
alien2050cowsquad: also pastebin your code so I can have a look and help a little02:16
ActionParsniptryingUbuntu: what time do you want to shutdown?02:17
Joshua__Action. what now?02:17
tryingUbuntuescott   thanks.. I tried  $ sudo shutdown -h 18:45 "Server is going down for maintenance" and got command not found,.,.,, thanks02:17
phunyguy_t430sJoshua__, if you type out the whole nickname verbatim, it actually sends him a highlight02:17
ActionParsnipJoshua__: drives have a limit of 4 primary partitions, so if you want more than 4 partitions you will need an extended partition. Within the extended partition you will make logical partitions02:17
phunyguy_t430sJoshua__, that partition trick ActionParsnip is talking about dates waaaaaaay back, it's a very useful trick.02:18
ActionParsniptryingUbuntu: run:   sudo at 18:45       hit ENTER, then type:    shutdown -h now      press ENTER, then press CTRL+D02:18
SunMoonStarDoes anyone have any opinions on Ubuntu's Backup program vs grsync?02:18
tryingUbuntuActionParsnip     escott got me.. thanks for your time yesterday with my sound issue.. I guess reinstalling alsa was the key.. Thx02:18
ActionParsnipSunMoonStar: try both, see which you prefer02:18
Joshua__ActionParsnip ook. I'm booting in windows and creating that extended thing. Thanks again. You saved me thrice!02:19
SunMoonStarsee I was trying to avoid trying both :)02:19
Joshua__How do i join a different channel.?? I got backtrack issues too. So..02:19
ActionParsnipJoshua__: I try02:19
cowsquadhttp://pastebin.com/72fXhj38 there it is, is the very last function02:19
alien2050Got another question for ne1... I'm trying to suppress the message "blabla.sh is an executable text file Do you want to "RUN in terminal" "Display" "Cancel" "Run" " you know the one, it's a generic message that identifies executables .sh on the desktop for example... how can I prevent it from opening this box everytime and just run the script (at my own risks of course)!!!02:19
ActionParsnipSunMoonStar: I'd use rsync but I'm old school. Dejadup has a nice UI02:19
phunyguy_t430sJoshua__, /join #channelname02:20
phunyguy_t430swith the forward slash02:20
SunMoonStarActionParsnip: thanks02:20
tryingUbuntuActionParsnip  FYI  escotts is easier     shutdown -h 21:00  YOU guys are really great for doing what you do.. thanks again and I think I will stay with UBUNTU02:20
ActionParsnipalien2050: right click it and hit properties. I believe there will be an option to 'run in terminal'02:20
ActionParsniptryingUbuntu: both ways are good, learning both  is also good, using 'at' you can schedule any command for a time. Is like a one-shot cron job02:21
tryingUbuntucool02:21
Joshua__I'm sorry to interject , but why isn't the backtrack-linux channel not working since a month and half?02:21
ActionParsniptryingUbuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV   (scroll to the bottom) for example, you can schedule an AV scan late at night :)02:21
alien2050ActionParsnip: nope, but I actually found the inverse in properties, there is a check box called "Allow executing file as program"02:21
alien2050ActionParsnip: Hi btw!02:21
Joshua__phunguy_t430s Thanks and that's one hell of a name!02:22
Rob1337ActionParsnip: I made a mistake earlier. Speeds were fast when booted in my liveUSB because I had the lan cable still plugged in, so i was getting lan results rather than wireless results. I retested with my wireless and internet is slow from the liveUSB, just like in my install.02:22
Rob1337ActionParsnip: It's something to do with the 12.10 kernel I guess02:22
phunyguy_t430sJoshua__, we can't control backtrack IRC, it is a question for them.02:22
alien2050ActionParsnip: maybe there is something in gconf-editor?02:22
Joshua__phunguy_t430s alright.02:23
ActionParsnipRob1337: try the 13.04 ISO in USB02:24
ActionParsnipalien2050: you could make a .desktop file for it and use that to run it. Put the script in /usr/bin :)02:25
phunyguy_t430swait, there is a 13.04 ISO already?02:25
Rob1337ActionParsnip: Where do I get the 13.04 iso?02:25
phunyguy_t430sI thought there was only going to be a single Beta for that?02:25
alien2050ActionParsnip: Thank I think you're right, .desktop should do the job, lemme try02:26
ActionParsnipRob1337: the web02:26

ActionParsnipalien2050: you can copy one from ~/.config/autostart and change the lines as you need ;)02:26

ActionParsnipalien2050: much easier, they are simple too not like the ones in /usr/share/applications02:27
Rob1337ActionParsnip: K, downloading now. Is there any particularly good program for burning the .iso to a flashdrive in ubuntu? I've always done this from windows before.02:27
BluesKajodd when i set the main HDD as the boot drive in the bios  and installed grub to / , I get the grub rescue , but for some reason grub got installed to the windows drive ,, I can't get my head around that ....seems strange to me02:28
ActionParsnipRob1337: unetbootin02:28
ActionParsnipRob1337: you don't really burn it, just transfer it. But I know what you mean02:28
verysoftoiletpprhi02:29
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip do you know how to install drivers for a nvidia geforce 6600GT02:29
Rob1337ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know, I just wasn't sure what the appropriate term for "sending something to a usb in a way comparable to as if you were burning it to a cd" would be...02:29
Rob1337lol, "transfer" sounds good enough02:29
phunyguy_t430sActionParsnip, Rob1337, there is a program called "Startup Disk Creator" in Ubuntu built it.02:30
phunyguy_t430sworks a charm02:30

phunyguy_t430sChromium maybe02:32
almoxarifephunyguy_t430s: like any other app02:32
phunyguy_t430sChromeium ~= Chrome02:32

phunyguy_t430sChromium != Chrome02:32
Rob1337I've never seen chrome for linux before. I just chromium.02:32
cntbfunyguy why not help?02:32
almoxarifephunyguy_t430s: i prefer chromium, but its just cause thats what i started with02:33
Rob1337I thought Chromium = Open source project which chrome gets all its code from, so pretty much identical, no?02:33
RickZillaYou can install the Chrome deb directly from Google and install it that way02:33
phunyguy_t430snever said anybody wasnt helping.  I asked if it was supported.02:33
BluesKajphunyguy_t430s, you might have trouble with flash on chrome ..chromium browser works better IME02:33
phunyguy_t430sI thought items not in the repo weren't supported02:33

phunyguy_t430sanything Ubuntu puts in the repo?02:34
phunyguy_t430saka controlled by ubuntu?02:34
cntbquestion is why existing standard user got it from admin install while the new standard user after install doesnot have it?02:34
RickZillaWell, if you ask a question about it on here, it may or may not get answered02:34
phunyguy_t430sthats what I am saying02:34
RickZillaI don't think it's in the repo...somebody may answer it, but you also might get encouraged to go to another channel02:34
almoxarifephunyguy_t430s: the channel is not owned by conical, support here is what ever runs on the base system 'ubuntu'02:34
phunyguy_t430sand from what I understand, you even get a warning with Chrome at install time about it potentially breaking your system02:34
alien2050ActionParsnip: Is there a way to add a custom icon entry in the .desktop ? I would like it to find it from the file instead of me trying to set it by the gui, I'll have hundreds of machines to reconfigure, I'd prefer copying the file02:35
phunyguy_t430swhat is Conical?02:35
almoxarifephunyguy_t430s: i doubt it, install it, find out02:35
phunyguy_t430soh you meant Canonical.02:35
OerHekscntb is the new user added to sudoers file ?02:35
RickZillaCanonical, the company that runs ubuntu02:35
phunyguy_t430sthis is the OFFICIAL Ubuntu support channel.02:35

cntbdunno OerHeks all default02:36
Rob1337Is there anyone here who actually works for canonical or something?02:36
phunyguy_t430sread the motd.02:36
OerHekscntb so how did the new user install chrome? default new user cannot install it, afaik02:36
cntbsimply added standard user and tried if it had the google chrome like the admin and first standard user02:36
phunyguy_t430smy guess is it doesn't add it to /etc/skel.02:37
phunyguy_t430sor whatever Ubuntu uses as a template for a new user.02:37
RickZillaI think there's a ppa with chrome somewhere02:37
phunyguy_t430sPPAs arent supported either.02:37
phunyguy_t430safaik.02:37
BluesKajphunyguy_t430s, I don;t see google-chrome in the repos02:37

RickZillaIs xo based on ubuntu, or is it it's own Linux distro?02:50
AnarchisteI used the DVD that my bro burned me02:50
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: do you not get a screen like this when the CD start>02:50
weirddan455what's up02:51
AnarchisteActionParsnip: Like what?02:51
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu1110installation-large_001.jpg02:51
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: I'm not that fast ;)02:51
AnarchisteI did and i installed in english but i also want french02:51
ActionParsnipthen use the blue flag in the system settings and you can add french02:52
Rob1337ActionParsnip: /dev/sdb1 should be my flashdrive, right?02:52
Rob1337I just want to be sure before I hit install so I don't accidently my HDD or something02:52
phunyguy_t430sRob1337, what is the size on it/02:53
phunyguy_t430sthat is a good indicator of what volume it is02:53
ActionParsnipRob1337: you can check by opening a terminal and running:  sudo fdisk -l02:53
AnarchisteActionParsnip: Software database is broken  It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue first.02:54
ActionParsnipRob1337: its more than likely sdb102:54
phunyguy_t430sbrb02:54
AnarchisteActionParsnip: btw i did the command and yet i still get the message02:54
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get -f install; lsb_release -a    please, use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com (or similar) to host02:54
Rob1337Yay, creating 13.04 disk02:55
RickZillaMy ultimate ubuntu dream: Seeing an ubuntu-powered tablet used in schools02:56
AnarchisteActionParsnip: sudo apt-get -f install or sudo apt-get install -f ?02:56
ActionParsnipRob1337: hopefully the newer kernel will not have the issue but we'll see02:56
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: ther are the same :)02:56
Rob1337ffffuuuuuuu, this app makes my computer lag like hell02:57
rcubeHi all.  I am trying to get RDP service working on a new 12.10 desktop install.  I installed xrdp and I can connect fine but I only get my the gnome desktop but dont get the Unity interface.  Any sugestions?02:57
AnarchisteActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1420203/plain/02:58
amigamiaactionparsnip ther? or did you mean they?02:58
AnarchisteActionParsnip: I got much more the first time02:58
Rob1337yay, time to try 13.04. brb.02:59
alien2050ActionParsnip: Nice, it works fine......!!!!! Thx!02:59
ActionParsnipalien2050: yay03:00
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: looks fine, if you run:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano    does it install ok?03:01
ActionParsnipalien2050: if you copy that file to /usr/sahre/applications03:01
ActionParsnipalien2050: it will show in dash, you can also drag it from there to the unity panel is you like03:01
AnarchisteActionParsnip: what's nano?03:01
alien2050ActionParsnip: the .desktop file ? really ?03:01
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: its only a small app (22kb or so) its a default install CLI text editor03:02
ActionParsnipalien2050: yes, just copy it in and it's ready to rock03:02
alien2050ActionParsnip: holy *........ that's a nice trick!!!!03:02
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: if it installs without issue then your packages are square03:02
ActionParsnipalien2050: lets you add ANYTHING to dash :)03:03
alien2050ActionParsnip: Thx so much dude03:03
ActionParsnipalien2050: no worries dude03:03
AnarchisteActionParsnip: It seems to install fine http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1420208/03:04
verysoftoiletpprI03:05
AnarchisteActionParsnip: could the language support be trying to read the installation dvd that i removed?03:05
almoxarifercube: i dont think you will see unity via rdp, look at the docs, says something to that effect, you may need vnc03:05
verysoftoiletpprhow can I install drivers for 6600GT via command line on 12.04?03:05
rcubealmoxarife: tyvm, lame question.. where aer the docs you're referring ot?03:06
rcube*to03:06
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: if you have it marked as a source then yes, if you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   you can comment out the top few lines which reference the CD and save the new file. Your system will now only use online sources03:06
ActionParsnipverysoftoiletppr: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current03:06
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip nvidia-current is already the newest version.03:07
AnarchisteActionParsnip: Can i make it so it "ask" for the dvd when it wants it?03:07
verysoftoiletpprActionParsnip how do I check which driver is being used?03:07
almoxarifercube: the rdp spec via wikipedia is where i found that out, i also wanted rdp because of the ability to have sound03:07
Rob1337ActionParsnip: Wireless connection problems were present in 13.0403:07
Rob1337same as 12.1003:08
rcubealmoxarife: same here, but more importantly I wanted clipboard sharing03:08
ActionParsnipRob1337: dang03:08
almoxarifercube: vnc! or ssh with X,03:09
Rob1337Quite the difficulty my problem is being eh?03:09
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: if it is marked as a source it will definately want it and moan if the disk is not present. If it is not a source then you will use ONLY only sources03:09
elena-IKI have problems with poor sshfs performance. with rsync or scp I get around 128 kB/s, with sshfs I get between 10 and 60 kB/s. is that normal?03:09
Rob1337-_-03:09
ActionParsnipRob1337: all I can suggest is post a bug or post on an existing bug. State it also affects raring03:10
AnarchisteActionParsnip: well it never ever asked for the disk03:10
Rob1337I posted on askubuntu a while ago: http://askubuntu.com/questions/226862/problems-with-wireless-internet-connection-with-12-10-and-atheros-ar928703:10
Rob1337I've been ignored :(03:11
rcubealmoxarife: I've never set that up, would you be willing to help me with it?03:11
ActionParsnipRob1337: by whom?03:11
ActionParsnipRob1337: post a bug, on the bug pages03:11
almoxarifercube: with which?03:12
rcubealmoxarife: lets start with waht's X?03:13
rcubei know hwat ssh is03:13
almoxarifercube: which is the host and the client, OS wise03:13
rcubeubuntu host, windows client03:13
Anarchistewooo ooo i just managed to update my Nvidia driver03:15
OerHeksRob1337, maybe this post is a solution, http://pleph.appspot.com/init/posts/view/2657865 > "sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1"03:15

AnarchisteActionParsnip: eeee ... so? i actualy have "no" keyboard indicator03:22
Fudgeany ideas to make my netbook perform decently using quantal? revert to gnome 2?03:23
AnarchisteActionParsnip: I do have a lettre from when i tried to use Empathy to get here03:24
ActionParsnipAnarchiste: you can add one03:26
ZaelFudge check the drivers03:26
ActionParsnipFudge: use LXDE, its super light03:26
ActionParsnipFudge: it'll allow your CPU to run slower so will prolong battery life a bit03:26
FudgeZael  drivers for what?03:27
FudgeActionParsnip  good idea mate but gnome offers the best accessibility for screen readers though03:27
ActionParsnipFudge: Gnome isn't the only available desktop ;)03:27
ActionParsnipFudge: you can run any Gnome app in LXDE03:27
Fudgetrue but the panels dont speak with orca, might have to jsut hack something up03:28
almoxarifeFudge: and kde too03:28
AnarchisteActionParsnip: did "dconf write /org/gnome/libgnomekbd/indicator/show-flags true" and still nothing03:28
* alien2050 likes fluxbox, very customizable03:28
ZaelFudge: video03:28
FudgeZael  doubt that will help but ill look03:28
ZaelFudge: and if your video drivers are up to date, look into xfce or lxde03:29
AnarchisteActionParsnip: not sure about part 203:29
almoxarifeFudge: looking for something to assist the sight impared?03:30
Anarchisteexit03:31
Fudgealmoxarife  yeah well I use vinux but my problem is on netbook hardware gnome3 is slow03:31
thock2does anyone know what the command to install xubuntu without all of its programs is?03:31
almoxarifeFudge: no such thing as vinux-light?03:32
almoxarifeFudge: no such thing as vinux-lite?03:32
Fudgealmoxarife  nah not really we havnt got accessibility to a stage yet with xfce or lxde where we can offer that, accept for older gnome2 classic03:33
Zaelthock2: all i know about is xubuntu-desktop03:33
almoxarifeFudge: nothing wrong with gnome203:33
Fudgebut on precise though03:33
almoxarifeFudge: lxde is sort of gnome2, nice desktop actually03:35
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: well, its dead. that's quite a big thing wrong :)03:35
Fudgealmoxarife  yeah but last time i tried it orca barely worked03:35
almoxarifeActionParsnip: DEAD?03:35
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: yes, gnome2 is no longer deveop[ed by the Gnome team03:36
almoxarifeActionParsnip: lxde dead too?03:36
Fudgeill give lubuntu a go though on my quantal install03:36
Fudgelightdm sees the environment doesnt it?03:37
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: no, lxde is actively maintained03:38

urfriend20hi, in mew to this i have some question can anyone help i have a PE4600 and i would like to put ubuntu on it but it only has a old cd drive. how can i put ubuntu on it. web pages says you need a dvd to install it and i can't install from jump drive.03:40
rcubeFudge: What's the dif between lubunu and ubuntu?03:40
Phabaurfriend20, you on windows atm??03:40
ActionParsniprcube: default apps and default desktop03:40
Phabaurfriend20, you can use wubi, it installs it inside of windows03:40
urfriend20yes with new pc but not old one03:40
rcubeare the specific differences listing on the ubuntu site?03:41
Fudgercube  big differences03:41
Fudgesuggest you look at the lxde website or lubuntu03:41
Phabaurfriend20, so its empty?? not sure it needs a particularly fast spin speed to install ubuntu, maybe x20 or less?03:41
Fudgelxde is targetted toward older hardware with less cpu overheads so the desktop and apps work faster03:41
urfriend20yes empty03:41
almoxarifercube: install openssh-server on ubuntu, use 'putty' on win to access ubuntu via ssh, you should be able to run graphics apps within ubuntu via putty set to default settings03:42
urfriend20i put in new hd and more ram but it has cd drive not dvd ..03:42
rcubegood grief, how many flavors of ubuntu are there?03:42
Phabai see, you can install via usb but im not sure of the specifics03:43
ActionParsniprcube: official ones:  ubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu03:43
Ben64urfriend20: you can install from cd03:43
almoxarifercube: quite a few03:43
urfriend20sorry im new to ubuntu..lol03:43
ActionParsniprcube: the unofficial ones are getting ridiculous03:43
Phabai presume it needs a 2.0 port though03:43
urfriend20ok what ver would i need to get03:43
Phabahere03:43
Phabaurfriend20, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick03:43
almoxarifePhaba: no, should not03:43
ActionParsnipPhaba: or usb 1.1 will do too03:43
Chaos7TheoryPhaba: I've always wondered that, Since it's technically installing 'under' Windows, does that mean there's a reduced performance/stability because of it?03:43
Ben64why even do usb when he has a perfectly good cd drive?03:43
PhabaChaos7Theory, not that i found, but your tied into windows still03:44
Chaos7TheoryThat's the preconception I had in mind when I chose to install Ubuntu under dual-boot instead of under Windows 7.03:45
PhabaChaos7Theory, i think perhaps its under a different file system it may suffer but not noticeably , ubuntu can deal with ntfs pretty well03:45
almoxarifeBen64: that assumes a rw dvd/cd drive and like cd/dvd, not everyone has those, but most of the world does have a usb stick03:45
viasolusHello folks, is this a good place to ask for help with a Vaio running 12.04?03:45
Ben64Chaos7Theory, Phaba: loop mounting a file inside ntfs slows it down compared to a full install03:46
Chaos7TheoryPhaba: Unfortunately with 12.10, NTFS compatibility seems to be unstable since when I use it for a flash drive, it always ends up 'corrupted' somehow, so been forced to use FAT32 instead.03:46
urfriend20well this is a older server and it won't boot from usb stick hd or cd..03:46
osuserwhich channel is competent for os4?03:46
PhabaBen64, yeh i thought it might a little, i never really noticed though. i have dual boot now though.03:46
Ben64Phaba: more than a little, I get probably half the write speed on NTFS as I do on ext403:47
almoxarifeurfriend20: what do you boot from?03:48
viasolusI'm looking for support after being unsuccessful on Ubuntuforums,  is this the right room to look for advice?03:48
Phabawow, really? thats a pretty big hit, i thought ubuntu could read/write ntfs pretty well03:48
Zaelviasolus: yeah03:48
Ben64viasolus: you'd have to ask a question first03:48
viasolusGreat, thanks.03:48
Chaos7Theoryalmoxarife, urfriend20: Older BIOSes aren't compatible with booting from flash drives, though not sure how old it has to be for that to be the case.03:49
almoxarifePhaba: it can read/write ntfs, it can not fix corruption of ntfs or does it see it03:49
roastedhello!03:49
ActionParsnipPhaba: its proprietary, the ntfs access is a best effort03:49
Zaelhello!03:50
almoxarifePhaba: which is why chkdsk in win becomes important with wubi installs03:50
roastedSo I'm trying to set things up so I can shut down via terminal without root. I added "jason" to thegroup wheel, and this is my entry in sudoers, however, I still cannot shut down without root.... %wheelALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown   is thisincorrect?03:50
PhabaActionParsnip, i see, so its a 50% reduction in write speed?? n03:50
Ben64Phaba: depends on the partition and the cpu03:51
viasolusI'm pretty new to Ubuntu.  Prior to installing Ubuntu I had disabled my Vaio touchpad using a windows utility. After wiping windows and fully installing 12.04 I have been unable to detect or reactivate the touchpad. A usb mouse works fine, but I would love to have it back. My forum post with attempted workarounds is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209051303:51
viasolusAny help cool cats?03:51
hyprvxgood morning/afternoon/evening03:52
ActionParsniproasted: %wheel      ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown03:52
ActionParsniproasted: or whatever shutdown is03:52
roastedActionParsnip: /sbin/shutdown?03:52
ActionParsniproasted: yes, just did a which :)03:52
Phabaviasolus, as far as im aware anything done in windows is irrelevant in ubuntu unless its been disabled at bios level if thats even possible03:53
viasolusI agree.03:53
rcubealmoxarife: how would I run graphics apps via putty and ssh?  It's a console only.03:53
Chaos7TheoryIt's possible, I've disabled my built in wireless adapter for a while when it stopped working.03:54
Chaos7TheoryAt least, depending on the BIOS03:54
Phabaviasolus, perhaps theres some generic touchpad drivers you could try in ubuntu? i wouldnt know where to start though sorry, check your bios for checks sake, pretty sure it wont be there though03:54
roastedActionParsnip: it's still saying I need root...03:54
viasolusThanks Phaba, I'm going to check the bios just to see. Brb.03:54
MacuserDoes Ubuntu come pre-installed with the Java JDK and JRE?03:55
ActionParsniproasted: you still need to use sudo, it just won't need a password03:57
almoxarifehttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/running-x-window-graphical-application-over-ssh-session.html <-- rcube... there is a setting within putty that should be set to default 'X11Forwarding yes' , thats how you will run those apps03:57
roastedActionParsnip: even when I use sudo, it asks me for the password....03:57
roastedActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1420283/03:57
locojayhi i upgraded to 12.10 but i only see the background when connecting via vnc03:58
Chaos7TheoryMacuser: I believe it comes with OpenJDK's jre and icedtea-web pre-installed, though I know not the JDK package by default for sure.03:58
ActionParsniproasted: maybe it needs a reboot03:58
roastedActionParsnip: maybe..find that hard to believe tho. I'll try it.03:59
roastedActionParsnip: didn't work04:00
locojayanyone using vnc with success on 12.10. no issue in 12.0404:00
Chaos7TheoryEven if it isn't installed by default, you could always use synpatic to install them afterward. If you need Sun's Java for whatever reason, you can use webupd8's package to automatically install and update both the jdk and jre here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html04:01
Chaos7TheoryOr generally described in Ubuntu's wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java04:02
ActionParsniproasted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1420292/04:02
ActionParsniproasted: there's mine04:02
OerHeksdoesn't openJDK come with ubuntu restricted extras ?04:03
roastedActionParsnip: and you shut down without root?04:03
roastedActionParsnip: via terminal that is04:03
Chaos7TheoryDepends on your needs. Minecraft isn't compatible with OpenJDK 7, so you're forced to use Sun Java04:03
ActionParsniproasted: i'll double check04:03

brady2600does anyone know of any torrent applications, that have it as a feature to enable downloads when the computer is inactive?05:06
brady2600i like downloading torrents, but not typically when im actually using my computer.  Ive had torrent clients before that could work based on a scheadual, but you had to know when and when not you would be using your computer, it would be much perferable to simply have an application that enables / disables your downloads based on when your using your computer05:07
chocolateshirt#irc.rizon.net05:10
d3wybrady2600: I'm not sure but I have a feeling you could set up some automated script that would throttle the torrent application. Not sure how you would trigger it with activity tho05:11
brady2600im just surprised that there isn't already a client that does this.05:11
ActionParsnipd3wy: throttle as in restrict speed?05:11
d3wyyes05:11
ActionParsnipd3wy: transmission has that in its options....05:12
nongooglehow do i not fail to make a script executable, it keeps not sticking to executable from the right click menu05:12
d3wyYeah, I am aware it can do it.05:12
ActionParsnipd3wy: you can set max up and down speed05:12
ActionParsnipd3wy: is that not the issue?05:12
d3wyI'm not sure how you would make it respond to system activity tho05:12
Zaelnongoogle: chmod +x05:12
d3wyI'm thinking for brady2600 's issue05:12
mehworkhow can i make it so unity search windows don't show up when i hit the <Super> key? i want to map something else to super05:12
nongooglei have the script on a bootstick, it keeps not sticking to executable format05:13
Zaelnongoogle: was it from an image?05:14
nongoogleyes05:14
Zaelnongoogle: may be something funky cause of that05:14
Zaelthe file system might not support the executable flag for instance05:15
ActionParsnipnongoogle: is the USB stick NTFS by any chance?05:15
ActionParsnipZael: ;)05:15
kapzhi! any steam beta testyers here? I have few questions.05:15
kapz*testers05:16
Zaelkapz: #ubuntu-steam05:16
kapzthanks Zael05:16
nongoogleit doesnt say ntfs it says msdos05:16
Zaelfat05:16
irishmac1022how do i liveboot ubuntu from a flash drive?05:16
brady2600yeah.. im looking though transmission and not finding what i was talking about05:17
ActionParsnipnongoogle: if the file system doesn't support good linux stuff then you will need to mount the whole filesystem as executable and it will work05:17
brady2600im looking for something that only downloads when the computer is inactive05:17
Zaelirishmac1022: try unetbootin05:17
Zaelbrady2600: you might use a torrent client that supports the command line05:18
irishmac1022Zael: thank you!05:18
jv432hello i was able to boot on ubuntu now using usb05:18
Zaelthen you can script something and put it in your launcher or on your desktop or something05:18
brady2600im not really looking to built it myself.. im looking for a client with that already as a feature.05:19
ActionParsnipbrady2600: you could have a cron'd job which tests the net use then uses transmission-cli to set the bandwidth higher / uses the alternate speed etc05:19
jv432but i had a problem05:19
nongoogleActionParsnip i remember trying that yet i dont have any success running the script05:19
jv4323 options were given to me05:19
jv432i pick install on windows 7,it was succesful i was able to use ubuntu05:19
almoxarifebrady2600: who decides what and when 'activity' is where you want it? time of day? load?05:19
brady2600not time of day05:19
jv432but when i restart and remove the usb its not on the os selection05:20
ActionParsnipbrady2600: http://superuser.com/questions/367209/a-torrent-client-which-automatically-detects-http-and-related-activity-from-the   another way you can do it05:20
brady2600not a schedule , simply when the computer is not in use05:20
jv432the supposed install ubuntu on windows 7 is like = boot ubuntu on usb only05:20
brady2600you fall asleep, the computer goes to sleep, and into download mode05:20
sargenntoHello All. When trying to play games via Steam It tells me I need to update my video drivers. When I tried to install the fglrx drivers I get an error telling me to check var/log/jockey.log .. output is >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1420360/05:20
Zaelbrady2600: you can ask over in the #transmission channel, but i think it supports command line05:20
brady2600as i had said, i have no desire to build it myself.05:21
=== jv432 is now known as jv324
jv324hello any help on my problem05:22
ActionParsnipsargennto: what is the output of:  lspci | grep -i vga; lsb_release -sc05:22

kapzokay guys #ubuntu-steam appears to be dead. Anyway Steam asks me to update the driver to nvidia experimental but I use bumblebee, so how do I go about updating driver?05:24
irishmac1022Zael: will i have to install it directly onto computer after installing onto flash drive or is it completely portable?05:25
Zaelirishmac1022: it should be portable in live mode05:25
irishmac1022ok thanks05:26
ActionParsnipsargennto: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle05:26
ZaelActionParsnip: he's using nvidia i think05:26
ActionParsnipZael: ATI RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]  ....05:27

irishmac1022Zael: how will it work with Wireless network drivers on a netbook?05:28
Zaelirishmac1022: should work ok05:29
ActionParsnipmohajuice: is it a 3g thing?05:29
Zaelsargennto: i had to upgrade my ati drivers as well to get tf2 to launch in steam linux... i used these: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+packages05:29
irishmac1022Zael: on a Samsung NC130?05:29
mohajuiceActionParsnip i can send u the driver files that r inbuilt into flash storage of usb modem05:29
sargenntoActionParsnip: that was successful. let me reboot and see if it works now :)05:29
sargenntoZael: awesome ill book mark incase this dont work after reboot05:30
Zaelsargennto: if you have 12.04 though the fglrx will probably work05:30
mohajuiceyes its 3g HSPA modem05:30
Zaelsargennto: but if it's 12.10.. you'll probably need those05:30
ActionParsnipmohajuice: those will be for windows05:30
sargennto12.04, brb let ya know05:30
jv324sorry i was caught up chatting on other room05:30

numsixHey!05:33
numsixI'm having a ubuntu problem, anyone care to take a stab at it :)05:34
sargenntoActionParsnip:  Zael : Unfortunately steam still gives me this error: Required OpenGL extension "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode" is not supported. Please update your openGL driver05:35
ActionParsnipnumsix: ask away05:35
Zaelsargennto: if you have a 3k card, ati dropped support for them on linux05:36
jv324What should i do please help05:36
Zaelyou have to use legacy drivers, from my understanding05:36
sargenntoZael: yup.. radeon hd 3450 ... nice...05:36
Zaelthey dropped support for 2k, 3k, and 4k05:36
numsixOK so here's my problem. I have a file server i run ubuntu on, been going for years. was working great.05:36
sargenntoZael: sigh... stupid ati05:37
jv324i wish someone would help a newbie like me and not only people who knows ubuntu already05:37
numsixI had Ubuntu 11.04 running because i hate unity. About a month ago started running out of space constantly. would free up stuff, run out in a week. It was a wubi install so i was like whatever, dumped it and did a fresh 11.04 install no wubi/windows05:37
mohajuicei try again installing those drivers n will show u the results05:37
Zaelyeah, i'm considering going back to nvidia on my next build05:37
Zaeli have a 567005:37
numsixFresh 11.04 same thing, hard drive fills up.. reboot, space is magically back. 80gb partition with virtually no user files so whats going on05:38
almoxarifesargennto: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846938351012409765/ <-- you want to look at that05:38
numsixI upgrade to 12.10 because i hear gnome classic works better now (which it does) but problem persists!05:38
Zaelnice, a workaround05:38
numsixFInally start  combing through, find its .cache/gdm/session.logs thats doing it. grows to fill up hard drive.. 70+gb which brings down everything as it crashes VNC and i only access this via VNC05:39
numsixso any ideas? its gotta be a bug or something05:39
jv324hello are you gonna help or not05:39
numsixi got nada installed right now.. 12.10 x-chat, gnome.. thats it05:39
sargenntoalmoxarife: okay I will give it a read right now05:39
jv324i dont like wasting time05:39
jv324i followed what you suggest and you just left me hanging when it give another error05:39
ActionParsnipnumsix: have you read the logs?05:40
irishmac1022Zael: how much room do you think that Ubuntu will need for this liveboot?05:40
numsixthe logs aren't readible when it balloons up its just corrupt05:40
Zaeljv324: i don't know much about that installing ubuntu into windows stuff; i recommend giving ubuntu it's own partitions05:40
jv324how can i give that05:40
jv324i dont even know05:40
vicsar.05:40
numsixits also not an incremintal thing.. so not like a problem with a program going bad over time.. its like a switch. one minute 74gb free.. within 5 minutes 005:41
Zaelirishmac1022: the image i believe is about 800 mb05:41
jv324when i pick install on partition it read the whole disk05:41
jv324and chop it to parts05:41
irishmac1022Zael: so 8 gb will do?05:41
jv324its not clear if itll be a clean install and will erase my current partition05:41
Zaelirishmac1022: should be plenty05:41
irishmac1022Zael: thanks05:41
Zaeljv324: if you pick the windows partition, it will erase it.. yes05:42

numsixis there anyway to disable the creation of the session.log files? or hell, even move them to another drive. i'll make a partition and it can fill it up for all i care just not the file system05:42
almoxarifejv324: is there a dir/folder in the root of your win machine called 'ubuntu'?05:42
Zaeljv324: you can resize that partition with something like gparted though to allow space for a dual boot with their own partitions05:42
Zaeljv324: almoxarife probably knows about your current install05:44
almoxarifeprobably :)05:44
Zaeli always felt that wubi stuff was a bad idea05:44
jv324i dony know almoxarife05:45
almoxarifeZael: probably because you never installed it05:45
ActionParsnipnumsix: i'd boot to liveCD, delete the file, then log back in and read the new, smaller, file05:45
jv324i have two partition05:45
Zaelalmoxarife: true05:45
jv324let me check05:45
numsixHold on, lemme see if the file is readable now. I can always delete the file and everything is cool05:45
almoxarifejv324: the partion would be 'boot' c: one05:45
numsixIt's just it usually happens when i'm at work which blows my VNC and i can't fix it until i get home which bites05:45
jv324almoxarife yea in c05:46
jv324weird though it should be in e: cause theres where windows 7 is installed05:46
almoxarifejv324: what are the files in that dir?05:46
jv324disks and isntall dir05:47
jv324and uninstall-wubi.exe05:47
almoxarifejv324: specifically, what files exist in dir c:/ubuntu05:47
jv324i already said05:48
jv324thats the only 3 in c:/ubuntu05:48
numsixko, nothing insane but lots of these: (gnome-settings-daemon:7925): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_lab05:48
numsixel: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed05:48
numsixbut right now file is small and normal05:49
jv324inside the sub dir disks theres another sub directory boot and a file ubuntu-12.04.1-wubi-amd64.tar.xz05:49
almoxarifejv324: those are not file names, you have a nice day05:49
jv324what05:49
Zaelo.O05:49
jv324i said theres 2 dir named disks and install and 1 file called  uninstall-wubi.exe05:50
jv324your sayign im a liar05:50
jv324i can even send you a fraps of it on 720p if you dont believe05:50
numsixHe'll need at least 1080p to verify that05:50
almoxarifefraps? what did i miss?05:51
Zaelhe's gonna fraps you his directory tree05:51
almoxarifefrapping something new? can i install 'frap' on kde?05:51
Zaeli think it requires lasers05:52
numsixHe's going to play Quake 3 at you to prove his wubi sucks05:52
jv324cause you said have a ncie day05:53
jv324you think im joking,im already frustrated at this05:53
causativeI would like to search for the presence or absence of a certain image on the screen (i.e. test automation)05:53
causativewhat should I use for this?05:53
Zaeljv324: why are you interested in linux05:53
jv324and here i thought ubuntu is the best linux distro05:53
jv324cause i need it to fix my smartphone05:54
numsixUbuntu was the best until unity, lol05:54
Zaelcan't you just take it to your provider and let them hook it up05:54
jv324what?05:55
almoxarifejv324: #android-root , thats the place for 'i need linux to fix(root) my phone05:55
jamampnumsix, then remove unity? there's alternatives05:55
jv324what you mean take it to provider05:55
Zaeljv324: another question.. why don't you just use a live cd05:55
numsixYeah well that's why i'm here.. my gnome is blowing up05:55
Jonathan_Ri just finished instaling ubuntu 12.10 and dont know what the rot pasword is05:55
jv324first of all i dont use android tahts nto even mroe linux than my os05:55
jamampnumsix, i heard KDE/Xubuntu/Kubuntu ones look okay05:55
jv324second take it to my provider?my smartphones has software problem not hardware05:56
Zaeli love Xubuntu05:56
numsixi may have to look into alternatives if i can't figure out this session.log bug05:56
jv324why would i take it to my provider,and you know not all around the world providers sell smartphone05:56
numsixit's GOTTA be a bug. i mean, i've formatted the drive and done a fresh install for god's sake.05:56
almoxarifeJonathan_R: there is not one, your user pass with 'sudo/gksu' is how you get at root05:56
krunalany idea why i can't access windows share from my ubuntu machine? i'm running 12.1005:56
jv324in my country they only service us for waht we need not like your providers in USA that sucks money out of you05:56
Zaeljv324: why not just use a live cd?05:56
numsixthat would be too easy05:57
jv324nvm im already pissed 1 or 2 of you obviously isnt even taht smart05:57
Jonathan_Ralmoxarife: when instaling software its asking for authentication05:57
almoxarifejv324: Zael..., take it elsewhere, this is not a chat channel05:57
Zaellol05:57
almoxarifeJonathan_R: your user password05:57
jv324its no brainer that not every provider int he world are the same05:57
Jonathan_Rtried05:57
Jonathan_Rdoesnt work05:57
krunalhow about some help05:57
krunalany idea why i can't access windows share from my ubuntu machine? i'm running 12.1005:57
jv324thanks for those who help me though05:57
Zaeli'm just trying to help him05:57
ActionParsnipJonathan_R: then you aren't typing it right. Check your capslock etc05:58
Jonathan_Rchecked05:58
jv324th eonyl eprson who help me is  ActionParsnip05:58
jv324*only05:58
numsixkrunal try pointing to the ip of the windows machine from your ubuntu box05:58
krunalhow do i do that on gui.. without using terminal05:59
almoxarifekrunal: also, did you firewall the win machine?05:59
krunalyeah05:59
Jonathan_Rgot it ActionParsnip05:59
numsixyeah check firewal05:59
numsixplaces -> connect to server05:59
krunalalmoxarife, yeah05:59
Jonathan_Rits a keyboard isue or something05:59
almoxarifekrunal: cant get access if you are firewalled05:59
Jonathan_Ri noticed in another place05:59
krunalwhat changes do i need to make on windows firewall06:00
Jonathan_Rwhen typing it in, it mised the last character06:00
almoxarifekrunal: win changes06:00
Jonathan_Rhad to wait a second and type in the last character again06:00
numsixfor whatever reason i can never get into my windows machine by it's UNC buy the ip works06:01
numsixfrom ubuntu06:01
almoxarifekrunal: before you do that, can you ping the win machine from buntu?06:01
krunalyes i can ping06:01
numsixbut you gotta make sure its open first and nothing is blocking it. windows firewall, some anti-virus has another firewall, etc06:01
ActionParsnipjonathaN: all ok now?06:01
almoxarifekrunal: assume the firewall is not the issue then06:01
numsixwell ive got nothing on this log problem06:02
krunalalmoxarife, when i go to 'connect to server' - it has some crediential issue06:02
numsixis there no way to disable o rmove the log?06:02
almoxarifekrunal: you are back to a win issue then06:02
ActionParsnipnumsix: you could mark the file as read only, it may just make another file though. Worth a try06:02
numsixcheck your permissions or put in your windows username/password06:02
numsixyeah it does session.old06:02
numsixso that doesn't work06:02
numsixwhat blows my mind is the fact that it's done it on 2 different installs06:02
krunalalmoxarife, just got it to work...thanks06:03
numsixmaybe it hates this cheap AMD06:03
almoxarifekrunal: i dont use win, so i dont know where the fix would be06:03
almoxarifekrunal: cool06:03
krunalalmoxarife, was missing the domain...workgroup06:03
almoxarifekrunal: that helps06:03
krunalnow we all know :)06:03
numsixstupid workgroups06:03
almoxarifekrunal: now you are the resident win samba guru06:04
krunalhaha sure06:04
numsixwhere are the settings for the logs kept anyone know? maybe i can move it to a different drive06:04
almoxarifenumsix: trying to read a log?06:04
krunalso why'd ubuntu decide to change the layout? i really enjoyed version 10.xx06:04
numsixthey wanted to piss everyone off. UNity is terrible06:05
krunalyeah i dont like unity06:05
numsixalmox the logs don't look crazy, you can't read it when it blows up06:05
almoxarifeblows up?06:05
numsixhere's one repeating error: ` (gnome-settings-daemon:7925): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_lab06:05
numsixel: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed06:05
numsixYeah once every 24-48 hours the session.log fills up the hard drive06:06
numsixgoes like 74gb in size06:06
numsixit does this almost instantly06:06
numsixif you delete it, you are fine06:06
krunalanyone use kubuntu yet?06:06
numsixuntil it happens again06:06
almoxarifekrunal: i use kde06:06
ActionParsnipkrunal: I have in the past06:06
jamampO06:06
Zaeli use xfce06:06
krunalwhich is the best06:06
almoxarife:)06:06
ActionParsnipkrunal: there is no single best06:07
almoxarifeKDE06:07
Zaelpick for yourself06:07
krunali'll try a few06:07
numsixI love Gnome 3. Not the new gnome..the remix one.. and not unity. I hate apple, i hate os x. I don't want anything that looks or feels like os x. i want a simple clean desktop. gnome 3 is amazingly awesome what's wrong with it?06:07
krunalsee what i like06:07
ActionParsnipkrunal: if there was, the others would cease to be as nobody would use them06:07
krunalActionParsnip, true06:07
krunalgood to know06:07
ActionParsnipkrunal: you can even just use a WM like fluxbox and not use a desktop at all :)06:07
almoxarifeActionParsnip: that would not be the best :)06:08
numsixare there any other major distros that use gnome? if i can't figure this out soon i may drop ubuntu for the time being06:08
numsixas if i wanted to deal with headaches and annoyances i'd install windows back on this thing06:08
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: its great if you want a lightning fast system using fewer resources06:08
ActionParsnipnumsix: Fedora uses Gnome by default06:09
numsixi may have to give that a go06:09
Zaelnumsix: just customize the way you want it06:09
krunalwe're starting to sell systems with windows 8 at work... not going so well06:09
numsixzael read my problems above06:09
ActionParsnipnumsix: have a look at some videos on youtube, see what you reckon06:09
Zaelnumsix: maybe there's a ppa for that06:09
krunalthanks fellas....have a good night06:09
numsixif not for this problem i'd be happy with ubuntu. 12.10 isn't so bad as the gnome classic is close to what i had before.. although evolution doesn't seem to work well06:09
numsixthe gnome work around in 11.10 was miserable so i stuck with 11.0406:10
ActionParsnipnumsix: tried xfce, its very close to the Gnome2 smell06:10
almoxarifeActionParsnip: i am like a dog, i found my favorite kibble, true, kde is considered less than lite but i cant live without it, everything else seems less than perfect :)06:10
numsixwhen i first gave ubuntu a try 3 or 4 years ago i was blown away by how great gnome was.. i just hate to see them monkey with it and trying to move it into something thats just terrible with unity06:11
numsixi'm looking into fedora now06:11
numsixi dont keep anything on this computer other than email and my media files so swapping os's isnt a big deal06:11
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: it can be light, there is a new thing based on Qt which is light06:11
almoxarifenumsix: good for you, just say its 'ubuntu' when you need help here, cause they dont offer help\06:11
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/lightweight-qt-desktop-environment.html06:12
almoxarifeActionParsnip: i use it, qtrazor, when on batt for along time without need for pim06:12
numsixi'd be much happier if i could just have ubuntu back though dammit.06:12
numsixthere's gotta be a way to fix this06:12
almoxarifenumsix: what is the issue?06:13
onboradhttp://pastebin.com/FH4kiMrs06:13
onborad(WW) intel(0): No outputs definitely connected, trying again...06:13
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: totally06:13
onboradwhy report Not outputs definitely connected . my system boot ,display blackscreen .06:14
almoxarifeActionParsnip: someone just figured out about qtrazor at web8 :) , damm lite06:14
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: its pretty sweet06:15
numsixalmoxarife: long story short, there's some bug that's been causing the session.logs to randomly balloon up causing a crash when there's no space left on the file system. A complete re-install has not resolved it.06:15
almoxarifenumsix: do you know which bug?06:15
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: I still prefer openbox + xcompmgr + docky :)06:15
numsixseems similar to this: http://markmail.org/message/4jqmo4kdhzewqrv206:16
ActionParsnipnumsix: if you use a different session (like xfce) is it ok?06:16
numsixand thats about when the problem started06:16
numsixseptember / october06:16
numsixhold on just found that link, looking into it being tied to vino06:17
almoxarifenumsix: un-install vino or stop the service to begin with06:17
numsixit makes sense because i normally exclusively use VNC to connect to this06:17
almoxarifenumsix: then look for a replacement for 'vino' for the mean time06:18
numsixYeah i have installed x1106:18
almoxarifenumsix: see, no need for fedora06:18
numsixlets hope06:18
numsixcan't believe they haven't fixed this06:18
numsixif its been a problem for 2 months06:18
YcareneSo, the ubuntu update servers are down I take it.06:18
numsixits a pretty nasty bug06:18
almoxarifenumsix: problem fixed for now06:19
numsixwell problem worked around for now06:19
numsix.. maybe .. if thats it06:19
numsixi'm going to stop vino and see what happens06:19
onyon_00selamat siang semua06:19
numsixdoes evolution not work properly under 12.10?06:20
numsixthats the one thing i noticed when i upgraded.. evolution just bombs out06:20
ActionParsnipYcarene: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1420427/   not at all06:20
YcareneI'm getting the error described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/146799/unable-to-connect-to-getdeb-net-how-do-i-fix-it and it says to "be patient", however, it's been days, is it gone for good or what?06:20
ActionParsnipnumsix: try running it from a terminal, may give clues06:20
numsixyeah06:21
numsixit loads up but then it just tries to refresh the main folder and never gets anywhere06:21
numsixthunderbird works but once again i found evolution to be better. seems like everything about 11.10+ is a step back for me06:21
YcareneOr has precise fallen off of the supported list?06:21
numsixmaybe i'll dump this and go back to 11.0406:22
almoxarifeYcarene: your issue cant be solved here06:22
ActionParsnipYcarene: Precise is supported til April 2017...06:22
ActionParsnipYcarene: did you try switching update server?06:22
ActionParsnipnumsix: 11.04 is EOL06:22
almoxarifenumsix: at least 12.04 , its lts06:22
YcareneActionParsnip - How do I do that?06:23
=== Elv13 is now known as Elv1313
ActionParsnipYcarene: ok, how have you been trying to troubleshooot this?06:23
cheesecakesi wanted to install grub2 to a sepreate partion i.e move /boot06:23
cheesecakesis this possible without reinstallation06:23
YcareneActionParsnip - Well, my current troubleshooting has been to just wait for the server to come back up.06:24
almoxarifeActionParsnip: there is no fixing his issue, the server is down06:24
ActionParsnipYcarene: you can switch update server using software centre, or you can manually tweak /etc/apt/sources.list   (if you are using server)06:24
numsixi don't really care about support. as long as x-chat works, transmission works and it can serve files.. thats all i use this for06:24
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: but user can still take steps to switch source06:24
numsixfunny one of the last updated introduced this vino/log bug06:24
numsixthanks for nothing :P06:25
almoxarifeActionParsnip: true06:25
ActionParsnipnumsix: what do you use vino for?06:25
ActionParsnipnumsix: when you connect to the remote system, what activitis do you do?06:25
YcareneI don't like making the changes manually, last time I did that, I did an update and it made my system unbootable.06:25
almoxarife!x11-vnc06:25
numsixthis computer isn't hooked up to a monitor/keyboard normally06:25
numsixusually i just interface via VNC with it only06:26
ActionParsnipnumsix: yes but what do you do on the desktop?06:26
numsixemail, irc06:26
numsixthats about it06:26
numsixmanaging the file server which is its primary function06:26
ActionParsnipnumsix: you can irc via SSH (like I am now)06:26
ActionParsnipnumsix:  you can run X apps via SSH using X forwarding,  you don't need full desktop access06:26
numsixyeah but i like x-chat :)06:27
almoxarife!x11vnc06:27
cheesecakesi just want to know whther possible or not without re-installing ubuntu06:27
ActionParsnipnumsix: you can access the files via SSHFS which you will get if you install openssh-server, the files can be managed using the nautilus on the client system06:27
ActionParsnipnumsix: you can run xchat via X forwarding06:27
numsixi like having the GUI. I lived on shells in the 90s but i'm happy to have a bit more flexibility06:27
numsixworked fine for years06:28
ActionParsnipnumsix: note the word 'nautilus', that's not a shell06:28
numsixYeah i would still like to have the full desktop if possible06:28
almoxarifenumsix: replace vino with 'x11vnc'06:29
ActionParsnipnumsix: you can even make bash scripts to connect to the server and run the app. The integration will be 100% seamless06:29
ActionParsnipnumsix: why though, you don't need it06:29
numsixI'm sure it could be done no doubt just don't feel like spending the effort06:29
numsixYeah vino is uninstalled06:29
numsixi'll give it a day or so and see if it blows up again06:30
ActionParsnipnumsix: your call but what you are doing can be done so much more gracefully06:30
numsixno doubt06:30
almoxarifeall that because of x-chat?06:30
ActionParsnipnumsix: and its why I always ask when people think they need vnc06:30
numsixit may not be that i need it more so that i just like it06:30
ActionParsnipnumsix: there was a guy in here a while back who was VNCing to the system then opening a terminal06:31
numsixor dont feel like messing with setting up an alternative06:31
numsixhe needed that box around the terminal.. made him feel good06:31
numsix:)06:31
Tit_renehi, i did this command line:            sudo -s        startx -- :1 for use graphiq mod, and now i can't log with my user/pass, when i put my pass a black page come 1sec and i return back to reput my pass. some one can help me ?06:31
almoxarifei tried vnc'ing into the toaster, it would not respond, can someone help me?06:32
numsixi'll look into setting up ssh and forwarding instead but for right now i'm just hoping this problem is resolved06:32
numsixis it a microsoft toaster? try rdp06:32
ActionParsnipnumsix: if you setup ssh keys you can have a .desktop file on your desktop to run:   ssh -X username@server xchat      and it will appear on your system, but be executing on the remote system (like a Citrix app)06:32
almoxarifenumsix: thats nice, hope is good06:32
numsixwe'll see :)06:33
numsixYeah i'm sure i could set everything up via ssh, thats not a problem.. id just have to actualyl sit down and set it all up and right now ahh.. well lets get the thing to stop crashing every 3 days first06:33
=== ericab is now known as ericab_away

johnesmillerwhat is the issue06:58
almoxarife!ask06:59
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience06:59
DakoI am trying to do an Ubuntu install on one of my desktops, I have an install disk burned. When I boot from disk - I get to the screen with the gradient background and it shows the load icon. After a minute or two it looks like something loads but then the screen goes completely black and all I see is the loading icon07:00
KI4RO.07:00
almoxarifeKI4RO: would you stop with the dot thing07:01
almoxarifeplease07:01
almoxarifeDako: my first guess is that the cd/dvd is trash07:02
almoxarifeDako: better the the cd trash than the system not accepting an install07:03
DakoOkay - I am using ImgBurn to do the Iso, you think something else might work better? (this is my second CD - first one was trash)07:03
reeedif it got that far, it's unlikely the CD is trashed.07:03
DakoI am using a DVD07:03
reeedditto07:04
Dakojust to make it clear07:04
almoxarifeDako: then perhaps the image was trash, the iso?07:04
DakoI downloaded it from ubuntu and I didn't have any problems07:04
almoxarifeDako: verify the md5 hash07:04
reeedconfirm that when the screen goes blank, you move the mouse and the pointer moves ?07:04
Dakowhen I move the mouse the pointer moves07:05
reeedyou're doing an install, or just trying the liveCD ?07:05
almoxarifeDako: how about a simpler approach? 'mini.iso' , the greater portion of the install is network07:06
DakoI am attempting to do a full install07:06
Dakobut I don't get the the install screen07:06
Dakomini.iso?07:06
reeeddoes the live CD mode work OK?07:06
almoxarifeDako: it will do a full install, mini.iso07:06
ActionParsnipmini iso is great07:07
DakoI can't do either - I never get to the screen that gives me the option07:07
ActionParsnipDako: what video chi pdo you use?07:07
almoxarifeDako: if you just want to plink with livecd then that is also an option, for an install though, MINI.ISO07:07
Dakoah, so mini.iso does the install with the files from the net07:07
almoxarifeDako: correct, you hardwired?07:08
DakoI will have to wait - no I am not hardwired07:08
ActionParsnipDako: wubi pulls down the ubuntu iso then uses it to install to a file in your NTFS07:08
almoxarifeDako: forget mini.iso07:08
DakoI was going to use a wireless PCI card once I have it up and running07:09
ActionParsnipDako: what video chip do you use please?07:09
almoxarifeDako: once up is not the issue, the initial install is07:09
Dakoso I don't have to run a hard wire since it will require me drilling a hole in my floor - and I don't see that ending well with my security deposit07:09
almoxarifeDako: no, just means you have to have viable cd to begin with, what kind of box is it going on?07:10
DakoAMD07:10
Dakoi am trying to pull info from the BIOs - it's an older machine, my brothers old desktop07:11
ActionParsnipDako: try the boot option:  nomodeset07:12

almoxarifeDako: which 32/64 bit?07:13

jamampirishmac1022, yes. unetbootin should have your usb live boot 12.10 finey. make sure it's at least 1gb, fat32, and clear of anything else. If you use it for a Mac make sure to install Refit07:22

ActionParsnipOY1R: then it's just DNS07:30
OY1Ri am using dhcp atm07:30
reeedOY1R: then do "ifconfig /a" and note the IP and settings07:30
reeedOY1R: then switch to static and use the same numbers07:31
reeedOY1R: you probably also need to to do a "route add default _____"07:31
Jordan_UDako: Try reburning the CD/DVD again at the slowest speed and use the "check disk for defects" option at the boot menu before installing, even if it seems to boot correctly at first (this is important, you don't want to use a bad disk or drive to install from and the self test will check both).07:32
reeedOY1R: try this now: "netstat -r" and note the "default" entry07:32
DakoOkay07:32
OY1Rdefault genmast 0.0.0.007:33
Dakostill I am getting can't open /dev/sr0: no medium found07:33

reeedyour /dev/sr0 is fried07:34
Dakowhat is that?07:34
Jordan_Ureeed: OY1R: As we've pretty firmly established that the problem is with DNS, fiddly with routs and internal ip addresses is futile.07:34
reeedJordan_U: OK07:34

OY1Raddress 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway ?07:35
Jordan_UOY1R: It sounds like all you need to do is set a DNS server to use. How are you configuring this static connection?07:36
Jordan_UOY1R: To clarify though, you have tried pinging 8.8.8.8 while you weren't using DHCP, correct?07:37

\\Mr_C\\hehe08:16

\\Mr_C\\are they different in any way or the way they work?08:17
dcherniv\\Mr_C\\, startx setups up the enviroment for X and such08:17
dcherniv\\Mr_C\\, thats the one that should be used if you want to start X from console08:17
\\Mr_C\\what is X and Xorg for then?08:17
reeed\\Mr_C\\: type "X & sleep 5; xterm -display :0"08:17

BlueEagle\\Mr_C\\: startx starts your default X session (as specified in .xinitrc. xinit I haven't heard of. X and Xorg are names for the windowserver which startx starts. Note that in addition to X you would want to run a window manager like Gnome, KDE, XFCE4 and so on.08:18

BlueEagle\\Mr_C\\: You might want to run `/etc/init.d/ldm start` instead of just X08:30

irishmac1022how portable is ubuntu when installed on a flash drive and run? does it leave any trace whatsoever?08:36

aeon-ltdirishmac1022: it loads stuff to ram, how dedicated are the people following you?08:37
\\Mr_C\\reeed i install the server plain08:37
BlueEagleirishmac1022: That depends. By default a pendrive installation does not automatically mount any HDDs. But when you mount and/or write to a hdd you would change the access times of files and so on and that could count as a trace.08:38
reeed\\Mr_C\\: then u need to install a plain window manager too08:39
reeedi previously used icewm08:39
BlueEagle\\Mr_C\\: Perhaps you want to look at the *-desktop virtual packages if you would want to run X. If you want a minimal setup then xubuntu-desktop is one of the lighter options. If you want to do it from scratch then perhaps you would want to read up on how LFS or Gentoo is set up.08:39
irishmac1022BlueEagle: but no trace if you use unetbootin?08:39
reeedquick n dirty, does the job08:39
irishmac1022and installed on flash drive08:39
BlueEagleirishmac1022: On a "regular PC" it should not leave a trace. However some BIOS-es log power cycles and that is something outside of OS control.08:40

almoxarifetripelb: you need to head to #android-root :)10:36
john__I guess reinstall complete os ``10:40
almoxarifejohn__: here's a thought, install gedit via 'sudo apt-get install gedit' , apt does not know it is there, first rename gedit in /usr/bin to something else, gedit.bak , see what that does10:40
almoxarifejohn__: re-install? if you did the same with alot of other apps then maybe, but the issue is only gedit? correct?10:41
almoxarifeunless the install is fresh, then have at it john__...10:42
john__almoxarife, I tried to rename it and install it, it does not work, it stops because of gedit error10:42
john__almoxarife, well, not really, and yes, it is only this problem :x10:43
almoxarifejohn__: you tried to re-install a 64bit app or just plain 'gedit'?10:43
=== anon is now known as Guest25331
john__almoxarife, I tried to install gedit via apt-get10:44
Guest25331Is it possible to have programs, that can only be run from the shell, autostart?10:44
Guest25331I mean all in one shell?10:44
john__almoxarife, http://pastebin.com/7MBmErHe10:44
llutzjohn__: apt-file search gedit |awk '/^gedit:/ { print $2 }' | xargs rm10:44
llutzjohn__: you still will have to get gedit out of the broken dpkg database (just an ugly way as an idea)10:45
almoxarifejohn__: the 64bit deb is here >/var/cache/apt/archives/10:46
alinmearhi all! i am currently playing with gnome 3 and have the following issue; when i gonna press the super button the start menu appears but there is still no background image; any advice? thx!10:48
john__llutz, ok I tried, all is "no such file or directory"10:49
john__almoxarife, not sure what you mean?10:49
almoxarifejohn__: the 64bit deb is here >/var/cache/apt/archives/ <-- the deb file is located at that location, delete it,10:50
Guest25331How can I auto start programs after logging into Ubuntu. Cron starts programs on a specified schedule but I want certain programs to always start after logging into Ubuntu. Is that possible?10:50
john__almoxarife, no it is not there10:51
MadsRCAnybody know how to check which processes keeps a drive from spinning down?10:51
CasWHey guys, I've set my computer to AHCI and back to IDE and now Ubuntu won't boot anymore, all I see is a blank screen with a cursor, could you help me fix it?10:52
almoxarifejohn__: right, thats the 32bit10:52
john__Guest25331, you can add in Session and Startup in ubuntu10:53
almoxarifejohn__: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did you knowingly try that install? just curious10:54
john__almoxarife, I tried to remove zeitgeist and reinstall gedit without zeitgeist10:54
Guest25331john__, is there a way to do this over the shell?10:54
john__almoxarife, and just did not remember that I had i386 on this laptop...10:54
john__Guest25331, to add the autostart? I dont know how10:55
almoxarifejohn__: rule of thumb, dont use the extentions, there is a way to clean this up, question is what do you have to lose from a fresh install?10:55
Guest25331john__, yes to start programs automatically after logging in10:55
john__almoxarife, well, it bothers me just to reinstall because of this. :D10:56
john__maybe there is an good text editor alternative to gedit, with tabs :)10:56
almoxarifejohn__: btw, i thought there was a way to keep zeitgeist from starting rather than removing?10:56
MadsRCjohn__, I'd recommend Sublime Text 210:57
Dandylionhi all, I have a laptop with 2 physical disks, and the main Ubuntu OS is on sdb. I want to replace sda with another physical disk. Can I expect to boot normally afterwards if not preparing something beforehand?10:57
Dandylion(boot as usual into the Ubuntu on sdb, I mean)10:58
john__almoxarife, yes I saw that too, but to late10:58
llutzDandylion: sda holds the MBR, so you will have to reqrite that after changing the disks10:58
Dandylionor might sda/sdb change or something?10:58
llutzrewrite10:58
Dandylionllutz: ok, can I do that with/from ubuntu?10:59
almoxarifejohn__: well, i do happen to have a vm of ubuntu -32, it would be interesting to try to undo what you have there, if you would like10:59
llutzDandylion: yes, but you will need a live-cd/usb to boot into ubuntu once, when MBR/grub is missing11:00
Dandylionor can I boot into a live USB disk or DVD and fix it from there afterwards?11:00
john__almoxarife, great if you have the time11:00
almoxarifejohn__: but you d/l the gedit?11:00
llutzDandylion: you should be able to rewrite grub from live-cd11:00
Dandylionllutz: yes, I have a live usb stick11:00
john__almoxarife, what do you mean?11:00
almoxarifejohn__: you forced the install via apt-get ?11:01
john__almoxarife, downloaded here http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/gedit/download11:01
Dandylionok, which terms should I google for to find documentation on how to do that?11:01
llutzDandylion: similar to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows11:01
john__almoxarife,  and then forced, dpkg --force-all -i gedit_3.6.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb11:01
Dandylionllutz: ah, great, thanks! :-)11:02
john__almoxarife, but before that deinstalled all gedit and all zeitgeist related11:02
almoxarifejohn__: give me a sec. need to get uby-sacrificial lamb up11:02

MadsRCqqqtab, Yes, it worked a couple of days ago, then i set up deluge as a daemon telling it to download to that drive, and now it won't spin down anymore...

ion__I want to simulate the openFlow network (working on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)  and for that i started working as per given in this link(http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Ubuntu_Install), up to "Installation of Regression Suite" is OK.12:27
ion__Problem is verifying the installation, when i tried to run command "source ~/env_vars" as root is shows me Error "bash: /root/env_vars: No such file or directory". though i have copied that file in the root directory.12:27
ion__Any suggestion??12:27

AnkitNot working12:28
Ankitthe screen is dead blank12:29
almoxarifeion__: that is not root, tilde is your home dir12:29
ion__so wat to do to access the root env_vars?12:29
AnkitThis is just after I installed ubuntu12:29
Ankitshould i install 12.04?12:29
qqqtabMadsRC: exactly having a pointer is more than enough to keep a filehandle open. I have no experience with deluge but I'm sure some process is holding it.... if  lsof | grep 'disk1/yourpath' returns nothing then you have not got disk suspend setup properly ...do a hdparm -I and pastie12:29

ion__almoxarife: I have copied env_vars to the root , then i loged in to root on terminal and then i wrote "source ~/env_vars", but i shows No such file or directory12:35

ubottuAnkit: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD13:33

almoxarifeAnkit: this site, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD13:39
blamivoldyman: lightdm greeter i meant ...13:39
voldymanblami, as in, when we close the laptop lid and open it there is a lockscreen. different from the greeter13:39
voldymani want to customize that lockscreen13:40
almoxarifeAnkit: 32 or 64 bit?13:40
Ankitalmoxarife: 3213:40

almoxarifeAnkit: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso13:40
Ankitalmoxarife: yes, i read this, it doesnt have a usb burn option13:40
almoxarifeAnkit: that should start the d/l13:41
blamivoldyman: i think it would be nice if that functionality could be handled in lightdm as well ... afaik fedora is doing similar thing with gdm13:41
Ankitalmoxarife: already done13:41
=== andrea is now known as Guest74414
Ankitalmoxarife: now i need that on a pen drive13:41
voldymanblami, i tried reading its source code(gnome-screensaver). i am unable to find the mechanism by which its activated.13:41
almoxarifeAnkit: or a cd/dvd13:41
almoxarifeAnkit: same as the other iso's you created cd or usb from13:42
voldymanblami, there is so little documentation. its like gnome-screensaver can only do it.13:43
almoxarifevoldyman: if anyone is avail at #ubuntu-dev , they would have the answers you are looking for perhaps13:43
voldymani can activate that lockscreen using dbus org.gnome.screeensaver.lock() but dont know how to register myself to receive that call13:43
voldymanalmoxarife, its empty :(13:44
blamivoldyman: its #ubuntu-devel13:44
blamivoldyman: you'd better to hack on top of gnome-screensaver or read its code13:45
voldymanthanks blami13:45
blamivoldyman: its common practice in gnome that code is unreadable and poorly documented13:45
almoxarifeoops sorry voldyman...13:45
voldymanalmoxarife, np13:45
blamivoldyman: having some api reference is luxury in gnome project ;)13:45
voldymanblami, i have been working with vala for sometime and you are 100% correct. documentation is "almost" nonexistent13:46

mazda01when I click to install RC Mini Racer a dialog pops up that states it will use xdg-open apt://decane-rcminiracers but it just opens a new chrome browser window with nothing in it14:13

Dandylionhi all, on my laptop, Ubuntu is installed on sdB ( not sda), as it has two physical drives), what if I remove sda, can I just adjust the MBR using a live CD and my Ubuntu on (previously sdB) would run fine?14:18
elena-IKI have problems with poor sshfs performance. with rsync over ssh or scp I get around 128 kB/s, with sshfs I get between 10 and 60 kB/s. is that normal?14:19
dchernivDandylion, yes that will work14:19
Ankitalmoxarife: ok at the install page14:19
DandylionI am actually no sure what happens in the BIOS when I remove that first physical drive, will sdb still be sdb, or become sda?14:19
cocalaurGreetings. Could anyone help me with a question (+(I am new to Ubuntu)? I need to view all my installed devices - like Device Manager in Windows. How could I accomplish this? thx14:19

RikplayHow can i prevent a programme from starting up at system boot from outside the OS as i cannot start the OS due to this programme "apache2"???14:19
Dandylionand in Ubuntu, will sdb then be sda, so something might break?14:19
icerootDandylion: the device-name may change but the UUID will be the same and that is what grub is using14:20
bekksmazda01: You are using Mint, not Ubuntu.14:20
almoxarifeAnkit: what are the options?14:20
dchernivDandylion, sdb or sda it wont matter ubuntu uses UUID to identify disks, but if the mbr is on sda then sdb wont boot14:20

diverdude_Hello, how do i remove partition table and all partitions from a /dev/sdc device using parted?14:20

AntiSolI'm wondering if anybody can offer any advice. I'm currently running lucid x86 on my 64-bit machine. I think I want to upgrade to 12.04 amd64. I'm wondering if 'do-release-upgrade' will offer me a choice, or am I better off getting the 12.04 amd64 ISO? also just in general can i expect the 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade to go smoothly? thanks!14:29
AntiSol(offer a choice to go to 64bit, that it)14:29

cfhowlettAntiSol: I recommend you clean install, but LTS (lucid) will offer to upgrade to the next LTS ...14:31
AntiSolaah, well, glad i asked! I looked at 64bit when i installed 10.04 but I think there were still issues with some things (maybe flash?) is that all sorted? can I expect 64bit to work well?14:31

roastedQuestion - I'm trying to set up this backup of my server... two servers... one running 247... the 2nd is a once-a-day backup of all of the data on the main server. The systems belonging to my wife and I sync our data to the main server. I want to, all at once, take everything on server A and rsync to server B. Problem is, some of her files are permed as 600, so I have zero access. I'd like the command to run without error. Is it safe to run this rsync 15:40
escottroasted, either you run the rsync as root, or you run it as her, or you don't back up some of her files.15:41
roastedescott: k, that was my train of thought - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. If it were you, would you trust running rsync as root? I thought I recall having a bad experience years ago when my mount point failed...15:43
escottroasted, if she doesn't want you reading her love letters then she should enable encrypted home and have you backup the ciphertext ;)15:43

escottroasted, when the mount point failed? not sure why that would make root backup go badly15:44
roastedescott: so instead of rsync copying to /media/storage on the other server (whcih was mounted to another large HDD) the HDD failed, so it was writing to /media/storage (since I was running as root, perms allowed it) which was inadvertently on the internal 80GB OS drive.... filled it in no time.....15:44

escottstef1a, the not allowing you to enable it would be harder, but it could be done. cron job that takes the internet down, removes you from sudo group, and then brings the internet back up later and adds you to sudo group16:51

stef1aescott: but what if i want to be able to sudo while the Internet is off?16:52
escottKroach, there may be some gnupg specific env variables in your terminal path not in your Xsession path.16:52
dr_willisKroach: i did not see how thatcomnand in a nautilus script  is using the full path.16:52
OerHeksedo89, then there was a kenrel update in between, which needed a reboot?16:52

DrGrovHow would I best do the partioning in 12.04? I got a 32GB SSD drive and a 250GB normal drive. I thought to use the 32GB SSD for only root and something else. Any good advice and how about filesystem?16:56

EvilDMPIm trying to put Lubuntu on to my Imac G3 and was wondering which type i should choose as it only has 128 MB of RAM, any ideas?16:56
bobweaver!partition | DrGrov16:56
ubottuDrGrov: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes l - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap16:57
escott!ppc | EvilDMP16:57
ubottuEvilDMP: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ16:57
stef1aescott: is there any way to prevent a command from being entered, even if i'm sudo?16:57
escottstef1a, not really16:57
stef1aor, is there a way to create another group that can do exactly what sudo does, except for certain commands?16:57
escottstef1a, yes but its hard to lock down16:57
DrGrovbobweaver: So I really do not need more than /, /swp and /home?16:57
bobweaverDrGrov,  I am not sure what you are trying to do ?16:58
dr_willisEvilDMP: i gave up on getting a decent linux install on my imacdv.  it was just underpowered16:58
EvilDMPubottu: thanks but which version would you reccommend as i have very little RAM.16:58
jd_68hey whats goin on?16:58
ubottuEvilDMP: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)16:58
bobweaverDrGrov,  I am also not the best person for partitioning . I am more a c++ QT/qml dude16:58
edo89yeps OerHeks you are not the onlye one.... thanks anywasy for listening to me..... ok i will forget about that as it seems nobody has an answer....... so another question.... say you don't do security updates for a long period, say 4 months..... in these 4 months the computer is used regularly every day for common tasks including surfing the internet...... how high is the risk that something bad happened? i mean that s16:58
DrGrovbobweaver: I am trying to keep it working well. Does the partioning and file system affect much on performance?16:58
escottstef1a, see "man sudoers"16:59
RickardTHi all, I am trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and it stoped midway. When I try again get an error like " Remove paket in bad condition ..  "linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic" it is in ininkonsekvent tillstånd och behöver installeras om, men inget arkiv kan hittas för det. Vill du ta bort detta paket nu för att fortsätta?"16:59
Kroachbobweaver: the terminal closes immediately after printing: "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: line 67: __rvm_add_to_path: command not found" and "You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key(...)"16:59
bobweaverKroach,  can you pastebin script ?16:59

DrGrovAnyone got any good input on partioning and file system choosing? I am eager to make it work as good as possible. I previously only used root, swap and home. Only Ubuntu running.17:00
bobweaverDrGrov,  again I am not the best partition dude. But I am sure that others can help17:00
DrGrovbobweaver: Thanks for steering me in the right direction again :)17:00

dr_willisDrGrov: thats about all i ever need17:01
Kroachbobweaver: the script I'm testing now is a one-liner: gpg -d path/to/file.pgp17:01
edo89so another question.... say you don't do security updates for a long period, say 4 months..... in these 4 months the computer is used regularly every day for common tasks including surfing the internet...... how high is the risk that something bad happened? i mean that security of the comp was breached? of course i know i cannot get a precise answer to this question.... i will be happy with a rough answer.....17:01
DrGrovbobweaver: No worries :)17:01
escottDrGrov, there are some ssd specific filesystems, but since the firmware doesn't present the real device im not sure what kind of difference it would make17:01
Guest43383I am unable to set environment variable.17:01
jribedo89: depends on your users :)17:01
jribedo89: and the vulnerabilities...17:02
DrGrovdr_willis: I always put root as primary. How about home, that is primary or logical?17:02
dr_willisedo89:  just one user? rather low. on a college with 1000+ users. perghaps high17:02
DrGrovescott: Ah, then it makes no difference apparently at all which one I choose. I was interested in using XFS instead of EXT3.17:02
dr_willisDrGrov:  disent matter. i use all primaris17:03
hari_will u advise about internet download manager programme17:03
escottDrGrov, any COW fs will have some kind of SSD specific mode, but the firmware COWs everything anyways so...17:03

DJones!best | jd_68 You're probably better asking that in #ubuntu-bots to see what the best application for any given purpose is,17:05
ubottujd_68 You're probably better asking that in #ubuntu-bots to see what the best application for any given purpose is,: 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.17:05
DrGrovescott: Ok. Then I just keep it like it is.17:05
MarderIIIirssi17:05
jribedo89: read the changelogs for the security updates you have. See if anything is relevant to your setup.  There are some programs you can run to search for rootkits, see: rkhunter17:05

bobweaverKroach,  this is what I would do . first like We all said before put set x  for debugging , make you one line command into a var         decript=$(one liner)    then make a if statement to see if there is errors so if there is a error it ptints to screen maybe with notify-send17:06

hari_will answer anybody about internet dowload manager17:07
King1534*DJones: I am trying to install LLVM framework to build a compiler. In one of the step it need to set up an enviroment variable..the export command17:07
KScorps17:07
bobweaverKroach,  wait you have to enter in pass for this ?17:07
King1534Sorry I am slow on typing17:08
bekksKing1534: And whats your actuall question?17:08
edo89jrib: say after checking what you said and running rkhunter everything seems ok...... can i stop worrying about it? or am i still better off reinstalling my whole system?17:08
bobweaverKroach,  you are using "sleep" to make sure that script does not exit right away17:08
hari_internet download manager for ubuntu?17:09
King1534how to do this:when I run the export command:17:09
King1534sorry: How to do this:to add the install/bin path to your ~/.bashrc file.17:09
King1534     export PATH=${LLVM_HOME}/install/bin:$PATH17:09
bobweaverKroach,  again I said that you should be making a if statement so if fail then notify-send"this is failing "17:09
jribedo89: you're probably fine unless you run random things from the internet.  Again, you'd have to check what the security updates actually were17:09
bekksKing1534: Open a texteditor, add that line to your ~/.bashrc and save the file.17:09
King1534I don't know how to edit the .bashrc file17:09
escottKing1534, still not sure what the question is17:10
King1534where is the file located17:10
escottKing1534, with a text editor17:10
bobweaverKroach,  for somereason I have the felling that you are not doing any of that17:10
MonkeyDustKing1534  nano .bashrc17:10
MarderIIIhari_: don't know about a download manager for ubuntu, but you could look at CLI app "wget"17:10
escottKing1534, in $HOME17:10
King1534so this command has opened a file: nano .bashrc17:11
King1534is it the correct file?17:11
edo89jrib: ok thanks, feel better.... does 4 months sound like way too much time to go without updates?17:11
escottKing1534, if you were in $HOME at the time yes. nano ~/.bashrc would be the correct if you werent17:11
bekksKing1534: Exit that editor and run: nano ~/.bashrc17:11
MonkeyDustKing1534  rather: nano ~/.bashrc17:11
const_antinebekks, i've managed to fix the shared dir issue by restarting the nfs server daemon17:12
jribedo89: well it's nicer to just click ok when update-manager tells you about updates17:12
const_antinenow i find that rw key for shared dir is not enough to allow for adding/removing files17:12
EvilDMPWhich version of lubuntu should i install on my IMac G3 it only has 128 MB of RAM.17:12

King1534then what will work?17:13
jd_68what irc client are you all using17:13
bekksKing1534: Take a look at the both lines at the bootom of your display, when running nano.17:13
Kroachbobweaver: your feeling is correct, I didn't do any of that, I know it's failing because it doesn't work, the exit status of gpg command is 2, how does one use sleep to make sure that script does not exit right away?17:13
edo89jrib: thanks :) bye17:14
bekksjd_68: How is that a support question? :)17:14

Eaglemanwell vga std isnt working, and i've heard i can get it to work with qxl and spice18:06
ikoniaI'd do more research than that18:06
yeatsEagleman: you might do better with VirtualBox for desktop virtualization (just my opinion) - virtualbox + guest additions will do what you want18:06

ikoniathe windows machine you are using to manage, or the guest's18:10

ikoniaso why are you telling me about using virmanager on x11 on a windows desktop ?18:10
EaglemanI am not here to ask on how to change my resolution on my main pc18:10
ikoniadoes that have some relevence ?18:10
EaglemanBecuase thats how i manage the guest OS's on my host ( ubuntu server )18:11
ikoniadoest that have anything to do with the issue ?18:11
ikonia"does"18:11
Eaglemanyes it does18:11
escottikonia, i think he just means his main client that he interacts through is windows. and that spice server runs on windows18:11
Eaglemanbecuase i use virt-manager to manage the machines, so if i want to change settings i have to change it there18:11

RustybladeThx for the umm.. help I guess?18:54

irishmac1022do you think i should install ubuntu alongside my Windows 7?18:59
erpoirishmac1022: As opposed to not installing ubuntu at all? As opposed to installing it in a virtual machine?19:00
irishmac1022not installing at all?19:00
thomasderpo: i have applications that require a small amount of bandwith reliably (minecraft) and other ones that require large amounts but not so reliably (youtube) is there someway i can keep youtube from choking out minecraft?19:00
erpothomasd: Yes. Linux has a facility called "traffic control" that will allow you to do exactly that.19:01
erpothomasd: The generic terms for what you want to do is called "quality of service", which is what it's called outside of the Linux world.19:02
thomasderpo: tyvm. I write web-pages i should be more informed with the mechanics of how they git to the client :P.19:02
erpo*term19:02
erpoirishmac1022: If you're curious about ubuntu, just put the CD in the drive and boot off of it. You can play around with it without actually changing your computer. When you're done, just reboot and take the disc out and you'll have your computer back the way it was.19:03
erpothomasd: Personally, I'm glad I don't have to know every little thing about computers to make them work.19:04
irishmac1022erpo: my netbook has no cd drive, but i am using a live usb to do it19:04
erpoirishmac1022: In that case, you can boot off of the live USB until you figure out whether you want to install it or not.19:04

erpoirishmac1022: I'm not an ubuntu salesman. What got you interested in the first place?19:06
irishmac1022erpo: ive used it before, so im just trying to see if the new 12.10 is worth installing19:07
MacuserDoes anyone know if both the java JRE and JDK come pre-installed on Ubuntu?19:08
yeatsirishmac1022: no one but you knows what your needs/preferences are - if you want to, install it and see if you like it.19:08
erpoirishmac1022: In general, I think every version of ubuntu is better than the last. I haven't tried 12.10, but I hear it has some privacy issues (e.g. sending what you type into the launcher to Amazon.com).19:08
irishmac1022yeats: how do i uninstall it if i need to19:09
yeats!java | Macuser19:09
ubottuMacuser: 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.19:09
=== acidflash_ is now known as acidflash
erpoMacuser: There is more than one JRE and JDK. What do you want to do?19:09
irishmac1022erpo: i heard about that, i was going to disable that when i had it up and running with wifi19:09
MacuserI know what a JRE and JDK are. i just wanted to know if Ubuntu comes with a JRE and JDK. It doesn't matter which one.19:09
yeatsirishmac1022: there are many forum threads, blog posts, etc. on the web, but the basics are: 1) delete the ubuntu partition and 2) restore the MBR with your windows install disc19:09
erpoMacuser: I don't know if it's installed by default, but it's easy to install a JRE and JDK from the official repositories.19:10
irishmac1022yeats: i planned to install it on my school netbook, so i wont be able to do replacement boot manger19:10
yeatsirishmac1022: then that probably settles it then, right?19:11
irishmac1022yeats: yup19:11
MacuserWhat's up with installing Linux on netbooks these days?19:12
irishmac1022yeats: i have to return the laptop when every year, so i'll just make them deal with it19:12
erpoMacuser: You use a flash drive since many netbooks don't have an optical drive.19:12
irishmac1022unless there is a way to install ubuntu into a flash as fully standalone19:13
irishmac1022*flash drive19:13
yeats!liveusb | irishmac1022 - that's possible too19:14
ubottuirishmac1022 - that's possible too: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent19:14

irishmac1022erpo: how do i do that?19:15
erpoirishmac1022: Google clonezilla.19:15
irishmac1022i already have clonezilla, that is probably what they use for their images19:16
